Southwest Airlines planes stopped flying on Sunday morning;
Death toll rises in Japan in April 3, 2011
06:00 ETTHIS is a report card in a hurry.
This copy may not be in final form and may be updated. T. J.
Holmes, cnn anchor: Good morning, everyone.
In fact, hundreds of flights have been put on hold.
Southwest had to cancel hundreds of flights, and they were keeping dozens of planes on the ground while trying to find out why one of the flights exploded.
In addition, we have seen an increase in the number of deaths in Japan.
Thousands of bodies have been found.
But now, the focus is on the two bodies found in the basement of the reactor at that troubled factory.
Can their findings now answer questions about radiation leakage in Japan?
Also, sports in Egypt are not good.
Look at it.
The fans were furious on the court.
When they run to the field, the team opposite is running for the exit.
At the CNN Center in Atlanta, Georgia, this is your CNN Sunday morning on April 3.
Thank you for spending part of your weekend here. I'm T. J. Holmes.
I want to start with what happened with Southwest Airlines and had to cancel hundreds of flights yesterday.
After a plane lost a large roof on Friday, they pulled almost all 737 people out of service. flight.
Federal investigators are trying to figure out how such things happen in this world.
But, as CNN's Ted rowland now reports for us, this is not the first time the Southwest region has ended its investigation. (Start Video)
Ted rowlands (CNN (voice-over)
: When investigators from the National Transportation Safety Board tried to figure out what was going on, the plane was sitting in Yuma, Arizona.
NTSB board member Robert sumwater: it is very important to know what happened in this incident.
We do not want this to happen again and the aircraft structure should not fail and break as it did yesterday over Arizona.
ROWLANDS: Passengers said the hole opened shortly after takeoff.
David Smith, Southwest passenger: At least it sounds like an explosion.
But all of a sudden there was a big sun roof in the middle of the plane.
A big, old hole.
You can see the sun passing through it.
Unidentified woman: all of a sudden, the oxygen mask is off and everyone is trying to wear it, which is terrible.
ROWLANDS: It's not the first time Southwest 737 has a hole in it.
On 2009, a Southwest plane lost cabin pressure and was forced to land with football in Charles Washington, West Virginia. a similar incident occurred.
There's a hole in it.
The reason for finding that hole is metal fatigue.
1988. The latter decree of Aloha Airlines 737, which was sucked out by the flight attendants-
Its body was blown up.
SUMWALT: we'll go back and look at those other events and see what we 've learned and see the corrective actions for those events and why they don't work if they don't work. ROWLANDS (on camera)
Investigators say they expect to stay in Yuma for a few days to inspect the plane.
They also sent data recorders and a piece of body to Washington for analysis.
They also sent another team of investigators to their southwest headquarters in Texas to see all the maintenance records of the aircraft. (voice-over)
: On 2008, Southwest Airlines was punished by the FAA for failing to keep up with the mandatory inspection of aircraft skin cracking.
In this case, Southwest Airlines found its own mistake and reported it to the FAA.
Following the recent incident, Southwest selected 79 of the 737 vehicles to check if they were cracked.
The company said it would work to ensure the safety of its passengers.
CNN, Yuma, Arizona. (END VIDEOTAPE)
Holmes: The latest situation in Japan, the number of deaths caused by the earthquake and tsunami disaster this morning has exceeded 12,000, and we also want to tell you that since the earthquake, the bodies of two nuclear power plant workers have been found.
CNN's Martin Savage broadcast live for us in Tokyo.
Hello, Martin.
What do investigators hope they can learn from the discovery of the two bodies?
Martin Savage, cnn correspondent: Good morning, T. J.
As you reported, the two men are missing.
They are 21, 24, very young.
They have been in that facility, actually found in the basement of the turbine room on Building 4, where they apparently had been working during the March 11 tsunami.
This is where they died, of course.
They haven't been seen for a while, and their findings were actually found on Wednesday.
Of course, company officials believe that it is the most important thing to inform the family.
So, it was not until today that they revealed the fact that they had been discovered.
So, it ended up a bit of a mystery in the facility.
At the same time, the investigation is in progress and they have been trying to solve the problem, which is really a very frustrating project.
As we told you yesterday, they tried to fill this tunnel with eight holes in cement
There is one-inch crack, and the high-radiation water enters the ocean through the crack.
They poured a pile of cement and put some cement and let it sit down and it did nothing.
Water continues to flood the ocean at a considerable rate.
So today, this is a new strategy,tech polymer.
This is a very fine powder that expands dramatically when you inject it and expose it to water.
So they used this.
They also threw some sawdust and chopped newspapers.
This does not work either.
The leak continues at this time. J.
Holmes: Okay.
Again, Martin Savidge still sounds like there's a lot of work to do to try and find the answer.
Martin, we thank you as always.
We want to move from Japan to Libya, where we have been watching closely for a while.
Mortar attacks by government forces apparently hit a hospital.
A doctor at the Misurata clinic said the building was shelled and a second explosion occurred when people went to the scene to try to help those injured in the shelling.
At least one person was killed and 15 injured.
Meanwhile, the rebels are withdrawing from the city of Brega.
Our Ben Wedeman reported for us that there was some sort of ambush where opposition fighters needed to pick up more ammunition before trying to retake the city.
Later in the show, we will look closely at the rebels.
But experts now say that some of the fighting forces there, they need a lot of things to get them to the same level of fighting as some of Gaddafi's forces.
We're back home now, and the Republicans in the House want to do some big political adventure ---
Big cuts in health insurance and Medicaid will be made in next year's budget.
Now, keep in mind that I'm talking about the budget for next year, the budget for 2012.
This is different from the budget war that the two sides discussed repeatedly last year, which threatens the government's closure.
We're talking about two different things.
We will return to the 2011 budget in a second.
However, 2012 of the budget proposal requires that medical insurance registration be completed within 10 years, while eligible seniors will receive private insurance vouchers.
Medicaid programs designed to help low-income families get health care will be cut to as much as $1 trillion.
We expect that we will not get the full details of this new plan, at least by Tuesday.
Meanwhile, as I mentioned, President Obama is trying to push the 2011 budget forward.
This is a resolution that expires at the end of last September, and after continuing to adopt the resolution, they continue to adopt the resolution in an attempt to find some sort of agreement. He called --
The president called Senate Majority Leader Reid and House Speaker Boehner yesterday on a possible compromise agreement.
Democrats and Republicans are deadlocked in cutting their current budget.
If no agreement is reached before Friday, we may close the government.
We have told you a lot about the possibility that some Republicans will run for the 2012 campaign.
Well, now, we can tell you that a Democrat is going to run for £ 2012.
Barack Obama, who expects to provide us with some information about his reconstruction as early as tomorrow
2012 campaign.
He may send a text message or email.
Emailing some of his supporters said he was actually running.
Guys, it's not surprising at all.
It's just for all the officials.
He is expected to file with the Federal Election Commission tomorrow to officially launch the campaign.
Well, in some parts of the country, a lot of people have better weather, especially in the south of Atlanta.
But if you plan to go out and cook like everyone else, you need to listen because we need to tell you some meat that is recalled.
Turkey Burger bought at Sam's Club, you need to pay attention.
These are Jenny. O.
They recalled more than 50,000 pounds of their products due to salmonella.
S. Department of Agriculture believes there may be a link between Hamburg and salmonella outbreak in at least 10 recent states.
You can go to CNN.
Find out all the states we're talking about here.
You will be told if you have these burgers: Don't eat them.
You will need a full refund to return the item.
Losing is not an option.
That's what Charlie Xin said, but all the information we got from his official return?
He lost to a large extent.
He, of course, 45-year-old Charlie Xin, a controversial Lightning stick, kicked 20-
City comedy tour in Detroit last night.
The original review of this show called "truth/failed violent torpedo is not an option", and that's the name of it.
The original comment said that this thing was very fried.
We have been told that many people have been eliminated.
At least the theater is full.
Many people booed.
Many people shouted for a refund.
Many people stood up and walked straight out.
This should be some kind of variety show, some kind of comedy show.
People are trying to solve this problem.
You certainly remember that Warner Brothers fired Xin last month from his hit show, two and a Half Men.
Warner Brothers under Time Warner.
This is CNN's parent company.
Oh, please save the Penguins.
Now, in a remote part of the South Atlantic Ocean, massive rescue work is underway to save thousands of penguins.
We will tell you what is threatening them.
Can we save the Penguins?
Chad Myers, ams meteorologist: I think they are working on it. You bet.
You might want to save yourself today.
Make sure there are batteries on the radio in the NOAA weather.
Buy one if you don't.
I'll tell you where the storm will be in a week and it's coming. (
Business break)
Holmes: CNN is now 11 minutes old on Sunday morning.
Volunteers are now trying to save tens of thousands of oil-coated penguins.
There was a leak near Nightingale Island.
You just want to know where it is, about 1,500 miles west of Cape Town, South Africa.
Officials there say 300 penguins have died so far.
Oil comes from a stranded cargo ship.
Oil and diesel are overflowing.
The rescue operation has actually been going on for more than two weeks.
About 5,000 penguins have been evacuated from the leak area.
Also, a lot of people know what these are and you see them occasionally.
These dust devils don't look so dangerous.
Well, the Tucson authorities in Arizona accused one of the inflatable jumping castles that raised about 15 feet metres in the air.
Of course, these little dust devils are powerful cyclones that lift this thing up and throw it on the busy street.
This happened yesterday.
There were two children in there.
They are now considered to be in serious condition but are not in danger of life.
You may recall that about seven weeks ago, in a similar incident, two girls were injured when a bounce house was blown from the backyard to a neighbor's home north of Tucson.
Chad miles, it's a pleasure for you to be with us and serve our Renault Wolf.
We saw these dust demons.
We were watching them all the time.
They look cool and we don't think they are that dangerous.
Miles: 60 miles per hour.
HOLMES: Wow.
MYERS: OK.
So, it's not a tornado because it's not connected to a big cloud and brought everything down.
But obviously it's enough to lift these things up.
You know, my baby. -
These are all rented.
HOLMES: Yes.
Miles: you need to make sure there's something like sandbags.
I know it's okay with you. it's just a bunch of air.
Holmes: that's it sometimes.
Maybe, I'm not saying this is the case here, but it could be some operator error.
You can't make sure these things go the way they should.
Miles: people like to put them in the parking lot because it's beautiful and safe.
The children went out, not on the grass or wet.
The best thing to do is to get the big dog DingTalk.
You know, those things that look like a big spiral, you screw these things to the ground, you connect them all four corners with dirt.
They don't do this when there's no dirt because it's on asphalt.
They just put sandbags on the wires and then that's not enough.
Holmes: You have so much information.
Miles: I have 6-year-
He told me everything I knew.
Everything I know is what I learned from him in kindergarten.
This is not a book.
It will be a hot weather through the middle of the country-
88, 90, somewhere there, and humidity.
The only problem is that you have to see that there is a cold front through.
When the cold front appears, it pushes warm air like Kansas City, and you will encounter bad weather.
We can go from Kansas City to four cities, even to Chicago later tonight, all the way through a tornado.
Then the whole area slid east over the next few days.
I'll show you this and I'll tell you what I'm talking about.
Kansas City, Iowa, Chicago.
So, the biggest threat today is here, tomorrow is here, and then, even from Monday to Tuesday, it will slide further.
When the storm enters the night, they become smaller.
They lose some strength because they lose heat.
But when the cell is running around you, or around your neighbor or mom and dad, whether it's 5: 00, 6: 00 or 7: 00m.
It's the hottest part of the day, and that's when you have to watch, because that's when the cells can spin.
They send hail, probably the worst.
But watch and warn, as I said, to get the NOAA weather station.
You need it in spring anyway.
HOLMES: Yes.
We know that so many people are happy to be cold.
We are going into spring. But this is --
It may be a dangerous moment when it comes to the weather.
Chad, I'm glad you were with us.
Miles: You're welcome.
Nice to be here.
Holmes: Thank you so much, man.
We now want to turn to Egypt, where sports and politics collide in an ugly way.
Fans of an Egyptian football club rushed into the stadium at the end of the game.
Look at this.
This is a crucial qualifying match for the African Champions League.
Egypt, the club is playing against Tunisia.
It is reported that many of the people you see here are part of a football fanatic group.
It is reported that a group of fanatic fans played a key role in the Egyptian revolution.
Now they plan to use demonstrations in the game to push their political agenda forward.
But after a key goal was banned, the organizers lost control and helplessly watched the protesters disrupt the game, destroying part of the stadium in this atrocity.
Nine people were injured, Reuters reported.
The Egyptian prime minister has apologized.
Well, we're much more calm.
They're not out of control, if you want, in last night's top four, the national semi-finals.
So, we know who will be at the national championship on Monday.
We will talk about this in a moment.
But it's the darling of two games, two little guys, VCU vs Butler.
It was a good game but the VCU was over.
Seed number 11 everyone is involved in, they are playing a great game most of the time, but eighth-
The seed Butler finally pulled away and put away the game, 70 to 62.
Butler is in the National Champions League now-to-back years.
You remember they were in half an hour.
Beat Duke in last year's national championship. Butler is 28-9.
They will face UConn on Monday night.
UConn ended his dream of another university title in Kentucky, beating them 5655.
When the wild cats dropped 10 points in advance, they had to re-enter the field, but the third-
Husky seeds, 31-
Now, in the Championship. UConn-
Butler, Monday night, around 9: 00 eastern time.
Well, Charlie Xin, he may not have performed, but he was still performing on the road in Detroit last night.
Why would a lot of people who spend money on him end up shitting him? (
Business break)
Holmes: We 've been through an hour and 19 minutes on this CNN Sunday morning.
Charlie Xin may have to go somewhere to sit down and work for his standing.
After Charlie Xin launched his "Torpedo of Truth" roadshow in Detroit yesterday, the comments began.
It was a tough night, according to almost all.
Some fans are not interested in their performances.
This is the official version of some people there. (
Start Video Editing)
Don't waste your money, Chicago.
He lost, right?
Man: not good.
Man: lost.
I mean, I like this guy, but it's too bad.
Save your money, Chicago.
Chicago is finished.
Unidentified male: too bad. It was --
I mean, I like Charlie Xin, but I think it will be more important than before.
Man: It's a complete waste of money.
You know, to be honest, I feel so sorry for him.
Everyone is booing.
And they won't give him a chance to talk.
It's really sad. (End Video Clip)
Holmes: Yes, you heard her voice there, and there were reports that he was cross-examined and disturbed so much that he could not continue his performance.
Our Kareen Wynter has the rest of the story. (Start Video)
CNN Entertainment reporter kareen wynter: Charlie Xin, oh boy, he certainly didn't win on the night of his first tour.
His much-anticipated "Violent Torpedo of Truth" tour looks, named under bright lights, the central stage of the car city, but Xin is heavily bombed.
Man: The worst performance ever.
WYNTER: Thousands of fans at Detroit's Fox Theatre, who let him own it. They booed.
They asked for a refund.
They called him a loser.
Xin basically spoke to The Warlock language all night, saying that he was here to stay (ph)again.
He also took to the podium like the president and gave a ridiculous speech.
Believe it or not, from Charlie's recent news interview, there are clips that are a big mess of montage.
He has a goddess too--that's right --
His goddess was on stage and they burned his signature "Two and a Half Men" shirt. This show --
You know, it's just a show that he's never been in contact with the audience.
He even used it as an experiment.
The question is, will fans really be willing to pay for se's less outstanding performance in the next month when all these tour dates are left?
Ms. Kareen Wynter, CNN, Detroit. (END VIDEOTAPE)
Holmes: Okay.
Just decided to check. -
You know, a lot of people follow him on Twitter.
He only signed up a while ago. There are about three.
There are 5 million fans here.
He said: "The moment of truth is on us.
"It was obviously before the show last night.
"Detroit, the moment of truth has come.
Don't be afraid, Sheenius is here.
"Just want to share it with you.
You may know that Warner Brothers fired Xin from the popular comedy Two and a Half Men.

We have been witnessing these uprisings in the Arab world.
They seem to continue to spread.
So what is the insurgency in Syria? S.
How concerned are leaders? (

Holmes: twenty years old
As we continue to focus on a rebel area, it has been five minutes now.
Not long ago, the Syrian government appointed a new prime minister.
The old one was eliminated due to continued anti-corruption
Government protests-
A strong reaction from government forces sparked protests.
As CNN's Mohammed jamyom reports, it's different from the other uprisings we 've seen and could be a game --
Changes throughout the region. (Start Video)
(CNN correspondent mohammed jamjoom (voice-over)
The Arab spring planted the seeds of regional revolution.
First Tunisia, then Egypt.
Now the winds of change have swept North Africa and the Middle East ---
Bahrain, Yemen, Libya and Jordan are just a few examples.
The protests that took root in countries with authoritarian regimes have never seen such resistance.
But now, some people think things are incredible.
First, the Syrian people took to the streets and demanded more economic prosperity and political freedom. -
In a country known as the police state, demonstrations were banned and the emergency law came into effect on 1963, a shocking development.
President Bashar AL-ASSAD
Assad ruled Syria through nationalism and repression.
He made concessions to the demonstrators, but at the same time suppressed them and aroused anger.
Now, calls for regime change are beginning to echo across the country. -
This is a terrible scene not only for Syrian leaders, but also for regional neighbors and the United States. S. , too.
The unrest in Syria could have a profound impact on the Middle East.
Syria has aligned with Iran to help Hezbollah gain power in Lebanon, challenging Israel's power in the region.
While Syria is still under US controlS.
The State Department's list of countries supporting terrorism shows that relations between the two countries have recently warmed up. The U. S.
I know that there is no possibility of a comprehensive peace between Arabs and Israelis without Syria.
But now thousands of Syrians are risking their lives to take to the streets to fight al-
The Assad regime demands freedom and dignity.
Syria is a potential game.
Changes in the region.
These protests show that neither nationalists nor religious beliefs are enough to stop the real demand for change. (on camera)
Meaning, there is no regime in the Middle East ---
Not an ally of Syria. Iran is not even an ally of the United States. Saudi Arabia. -
In this way, the potential power of the people can be ignored.
CNN Correspondent Mohammed jamjom reports. (END VIDEOTAPE)

Holmes: we are nearing the end of this CNN Sunday morning.
Thank you for spending part of the weekend with us. I'm T. J. Holmes.
Now let's take a look at some of the stories that still make headlines.
Southwest Airlines said they were conducting a thorough inspection of dozens of Boeing 737 aircraft, which they had to make an emergency landing in Arizona on Friday. A nearly four-
There was a crack in the fuselage of the plane.
A preliminary investigation of the rupture plane indicates the failure of the structure.
In addition, Japan has heard serious news in the ongoing nuclear crisis.
Today, an official at the Fukushima nuclear power plant revealed that the bodies of two factory workers who had disappeared since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami had been found.
The number of casualties in the disaster now stands at 12,000.
About 15,000 people are still missing.
And a recall of hamburgers.
These are Jenny.
Turkey burgers for sale at Sam's Club store.
At present, about 55,000 pounds of products have been recalled due to salmonella contamination.
Diseases in 10 states have been initially linked to patties.
The company recommends that these burgers be returned but not eaten.
Well, we 've seen that disaster is good for business --
Specific business.
Do you buy bomb shelters in the market? (
Business break)
Well, it's been 33 minutes now.
How about your offer?
Would you like to buy an arc?
You know, like Noah's?
Only this one is made of steel.
This is just one of the orders that a company that makes bomb shelters is currently filling out.
As our Kristin Romans reported after the disaster in Japan, business is booming. (Start Video)
Brian Camden, hardened structure: We have a new contract day.
The name of the project is the Surefire survival community.
Christian Roman, cnn business correspondent (voice-over)
If you want to be prepared for a disaster, Brian Camden is your man. The 55-year-
The old civil engineer is the owner of the hardened structure.
For 20 years, he has been working on the construction of bomb shelters, and now the industry is booming.
Camden: there may be a new project every other week now.

Romans: the demand for all kinds of living materials has increased.
There are ordinary, like these 55-

Unrest in the Middle East.
I think it has a lot to do with the economy.
Gu Long: Sales of frozen products in Costco have surged
Since the earthquake in Japan, inquiries for dry food companies and underground shelters have risen by 400%. ROMANS (on camera)
: This is not the first time that the fort of the United States has flourished. S.
During the Cold War, there were at least 200,000 air shelters across the country, many of them home air shelters.
According to an article by The Wall Street Journal on 1961, a Chicago company received 1,000 orders for fabricated steel structure shelters in a week. ROMANS (voice-over)
Now, Camden says he sees two types of clients.
Camden: some customers feel that the threat is imminent, and then you have other customers to start preparing and move on.
Romans: it is impossible to predict whether the current demand for bomb shelters will continue, but now --
Camden: essentially, the hardened structure is basically asset protection.
Most people think their family is their first asset.
CNN, CNN, New York. (END VIDEOTAPE)
Holmes: thirty years old
Five minutes now.
When I talked to Chad
We're just talking about that story.
He gave me an interesting detail.
Chad Myers, ams meteorologist: Yes.
Holmes: some houses do have these bomb shelters.
MYERS: Yes.
Holmes: But people like you don't necessarily use them for these purposes.
Miles: Well, I have a bomb shelter in the house on the partition (ph)
Built in 1961, the heyday of the Cold War. Big spent (ph).
It's great to put the wine in because it's safe there.
You may have put a door on it and you are in good shape.
No one will steal it.
It would be great if you had to go to the shelter too.
That's today.
It was Sunday, Chicago, Kansas City, four cities, all the way to Homer, tornadoes, destructive winds, yes, big hail.
Hail is big enough to put some dents on the car or even break the windows.
Then sue Arkansas.
You have to realize this is-
This is an ongoing event.
It's just not -
It's always the case during the day, and it's gone at night. No.
It is charged, moving forward, moving forward.
Now, in the hot weather, the storm is bigger, the hail is bigger, and the tornado is more deadly.
Tornadoes can be smaller during the day night, but they are harder to see and get a warning, so people will die in the middle of the night, even the smaller ones
Then the middle part of the day on Monday, and then the middle part of the day on Tuesday, which is not even drawn here, these storms will eventually move east.
This is very typical for spring.
This tornado Lane here today, and other places in the southeast and even Northeast, will be a typical spring --type day.
Cold air says, hey, wait a minute, I know you want to spend the summer here, but I don't want to give up my cold air yet.
The cold front pushes the air away and pushes the warm air up like a hot air balloon.
Cold air is heavy, so the cold front is heavy.
It goes down and pushes the heat up.
You get the cloud when hot air rises.
Some clouds create storms.
Some storms will warn them.
We will keep you posted.
Holmes: Okay.
It looks like it could be a tough week.
Miles: Yes.
Holmes: Okay.
We thank Chad very much.
It's also good to have you here this weekend.
We're going to talk about politics here.
President Obama made several phone calls yesterday to try to get the budget moving.
Engage with House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid to discuss possible compromises with them on how much to cut.
Our deputy political director, Paul Steinhauser, knows more about what may happen if no agreement is reached before this Friday.
Paul steinhauser, deputy political director of CNN: Hey, good morning, T. J.
There is not much time for the government to close.
Democrats and Republicans in Congress are trying to reach a budget deal to fund the federal government for the rest of the fiscal year, which will last until September.
However, if no agreement is reached by Friday, the current funding to the government is over and unnecessary government offices and services may be closed.
You know, most Americans say closing is a bad thing for the country.
Take a look at this, and in a recent CNN/Opinion Research firm national poll, both 6 and 10 feel that way.
But you know what?
There are party differences. Check it out.
Democrats say it will be a bad thing to close.
Republicans, especially supporters of the Tea Party, disagree.
But you know what?
One thing most Americans agree with is that they are very upset about the whole process --T. J.
Holmes: Okay.
Thanks to our Paul Steinhauser.
We 've already told you a lot about the ring of possible Republicans throwing their hats into the presidential campaign.
We can tell you that a Democrat now wants to throw his hat in the ring.
You know, we're talking about Barack Obama.
No surprises here.
He hopes all the documents will be officially filed this week.
There's no big surprise there.
But who exactly will he face in 2012?
CNN pays special attention to these competitors, the political and personal luggage they carry with them, and how these bags affect their status as presidential candidates.
"Competitor", from tomorrow on CNN.
In this country, we turn to sports.
A lot of people are watching the baseball season that just started last week, and the last four games are also in progress.
But in this country, the network won't play it if we don't play it.
We don't look.
Example here-cricket. Played in far-
People wear uniforms abroad.
We're not really aware of this, but over a billion people have fallen into madness over the past week.
What you need to know is that the World Cup is just over. (

HOLMES: Forty-
Two minutes now.
In Libya, rebels are trading with government forces.
They have fought in cities that have changed hands several times in the past few weeks.
As our CNN Pentagon Correspondent Chris Lawrence now reports, it takes time and training for opposition forces to really stand with Gaddafi's forces. (Start Video)
CNN Pentagon Correspondent Chris Lawrencevoice-over)
Libyan rebels say they are fighting with trucks and tanks.
Use rifles when they need heavy weapons, like more rockets-
Grenades.
Mahmoud Shaman, National Provisional Council: we don't have armor (ph)
Or we'll kill Gaddafi. in a few days.
Maybe. Maybe not.
Experts say Gaddafi's forces have proven that they will not give up after losing one or two times.
Frank Anderson, chairman of the Middle East Policy Committee: In order for the rebels to succeed in a series of battles, they must have enough firepower to destroy the Libyan armed forces formation.
Anderson has been in the CIA for 26 years.
He manages the Afghan Task Force, where he helps the militants.
So we know what he's talking about.
Anderson: Well, you can train a man with a shoulder.
Anti-tank weapons were fired within hours.
LAWRENCE (on camera)
But just knowing how to shoot won't win the war.
Anderson said it could take weeks to teach combat tactics to small units.
There is now no coordination between these different rebel groups.
Defense Secretary Robert Gates: there is really no critical mass

Anderson: that will be a very, very fast-growing army.
But Anderson raised a warning from his own American experience with the jihadist group in Afghanistan.
Anderson: they proved to be corrupt and greedy, I mean greedy because they were really guilty of raping citizens and they brought the Taliban together.

We showed you this video earlier.
An ugly scene took place in an African Union match.
This is the match between Tunisia and Egypt Football League.
Some fans rushed into the stadium.
They were not satisfied with the phone that happened there.
This is the ugly side of sports.
But let me tell you what happened in India yesterday.
The players and fireworks are there, telling a different story. A celebration.
India has won the Cricket World Cup in nearly 30 years. What?
Didn't you pay attention?
I know that the spirit of sport and the fun of the game can ease tensions between rival countries.
Our CNN producer, Nadia Bilchik, was with me this morning.
Cricket, this is not what (ph)-
CNN Editor's note: cricket.
HOLMES: --that the U. S.
Pay attention.
BILCHIK: No.
But interestingly, cricket and baseball have the same origin.
If baseball is a national pastime in the United States, cricket is an international pastime in Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan and many other countries.
In fact, it is not just a national pastime, but a religion.
HOLMES: OK.
So, it's not just a stick and a ball that is similar to what you hit.
There's more to it, isn't it (ph)?
Crunchke: Oh, it's more important to it.
But let's start a big game yesterday because India beat Sri Lanka.
But first, let's take a look-
Holmes: two.
BILCHIK: --
Baseball and cricket
So first of all, baseball has a hit zone, and cricket has three body nails called wickets.
HOLMES: OK.
There are pitchers in baseball and bowlers in cricket.
Baseball has a round bat, cricket has a flat bat, it changes the form.
Baseball. The field is Diamond. cricket is rectangular.
But the most important thing is that baseball has a batsman who can only hit forward, whereas in cricket the batsman can hit anywhere.
Holmes: I don't know the last part.
Now, that's where I 've been fascinated because you say that pitchers or bowlers always seem to end the game in a major way.
I don't understand how those guys got in touch with anyone.
They are so talented.
Very talented.
But why is this game so important that they have to beat Pakistan in order for India to play Sri Lanka.
Yes, that's the game.
India and Pakistan on Wednesday.
You let the Indian prime minister sit next to the Pakistani prime minister.
If you remember the Mumbai bombings in 2008
HOLMES: Yes.
BILCHIK: --
The fierce debate between the two countries has reached a climax, in fact, India even accused Pakistan, or worried about Pakistan's participation.
In this match, the two prime ministers sat together to show you this great gesture of reconciliation.
Both countries are at a standstill.
One company announced that only three of the 75 employees went to work that day.
Can you imagine? Yes. People just -
A man was about to have surgery. He said he did not have surgery.
He is going to the game.
But yesterday India beat Sri Lanka and we won't be able to see it until 2015.
HOLMES: OK.
Wrap this up for me soon.
This is a wonderful moment.
The two countries paused.
But can this lead to real change in actual, real diplomacy and relations?
The power of movement.
One of the things I have to tell you is Sassin tandulka, who won the second World Cup in India and made history.
Holmes: Okay. Cricket.
We were all getting cricket education this morning and who else could give us, Nadia Bilchik.
Thank you very much.
Let's talk to you again.
This is --
We will be back in Japan in a little while, where there is growing anger at companies that own these damaged nuclear power plants.
In fact, some executives say they are now worried about their lives. (
Business break)
Holmes: on Sunday morning, we were nine minutes away from CNN's hour peak.
In Japan, there is growing anger at Tepco, a utility company that operates the Fukushima plant.
In fact, some executives at Tepco worry that Japan's nuclear disaster will put their lives at risk.
CNN's Kung Lah reports for us in Tokyo. (Start Video)
Kyung lah, CNN international correspondent (voice-over)
: The unit that Tokyo Electric Power Company provided the workers with housing fluctuated in temper.
We showed up on this public street and tried to talk to the staff of Tepco, which was frustrating for the person.
Six Tokyo police officers arrived soon.
The man who only admitted he was an executive at TEPCO explained the reason.
Unidentified male (

The people who live here are nervous, he said. LAH (on camera)
Are you worried about the safety of the workers?
Unidentified male (
By translation)
: He replied that there are many threats on the Internet, not just angry threats, but death threats on many Japanese internet chat sites. LAH (voice-over)
: The title of a threat is "how to execute the executives of Tepco.
"Put them in pressure vessels," the comment says, referring to nuclear power plants.
And one more, "Death is too easy for them.
They should go to the factory.
"What's even more shocking is that Tepco executives, who have already held a press conference, now see their home address posted online.
Their salaries and criticisms of executive income also appear on many websites.
Tepco said 40,000 public complaints entered their offices every day.
Now there are police around Tokyo's headquarters.
Public criticism of Tepco is increasing almost every day.
The company shuttled back and forth on data, and the crisis could now last for months.
Sympathy for workers is growing, and rumors of companies forcing families to remain silent about their health and working conditions within the factory have intensified resentment against Tepco.
That's why, in the housing sector of Tepco, the tension is so high just to see TV workers.
Photos of the front of the building appear on the blog and re-post on other blogs.
The blog then posted the photo with the words Tokyo Electric Power, covered with black tape.
Today, the logo simply states the word neighborhood and "dormitory.
"It's all because of the Fukushima accident," said an official at Tepco.
The Tokyo police officer said that even if we were on the public street and did not violate the law, we could not play any of this tape. LAH (on camera)
Okay, let's go. Arigato. LAH (voice-over)

But first of all, our Alison kosike has details about Friday's employment report, which shows the unemployment rate is at its lowest level in two years.
Alison Keswick, cnn business correspondent: Hi, T. J.
Last month, the job market took a big step forward, adding 216,000 jobs in the third quarter, and the unemployment rate fell to eight. 8 percent.
Analysts say this shows that the labor market is strengthening and the momentum is expected to continue.

The guy who called the sign-in board
You may remember this man.
Graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology took a sign to the streets of New York to try to find a job.
Now he has found a way to turn the sign into a job. (

Holmes: we are close to the peak of this hour.
The hard search for work forces some to become creative, sometimes both.
As our Poppy Harlow reports now, that's what a guy who goes to the corner to find a job is like. (Start Video)
Job seeker Joshua Kaspersky: This is Joshua Kaspersky.
For some time, I have been considered a signboard officer wearing a sign to Park Avenue with the words "Experienced MIT graduates to rent ".
I know I have to lift my chin with a smile.
Very embarrassing, and-and difficult.
I did find it a bit of a failure.
My wife and two children went to Omaha to live with their parents.
This leads to a lot of questioning.
How to rebuild.
How to get things back together, we have been working hard and doing what we can to stay together.
In fact, five months later, after I went out with my signboard, I got a job.
But, unfortunately, the position lasted only five months and on the day I was out of work I applied for unemployment. I -
I never thought about being a poster boy for the Great Recession.
I will go to the interview from the limo to the green room and then I will say OK

Josh is a perfect example of how he has innovated other countries to get Americans back to work.
He says his company is on the verge of a major outbreak.
So we have to keep up with him and follow him and see how he does it.
As for him and his family, they are now living in New York City and have to separate because he can't find a job and basically move out of their apartment.
So, you can see more of his stories.
We saw a lot on CNN Money. -T. J. (END VIDEOTAPE)(MUSIC)

Concrete does not work.
This is Plan.
In Japan, they are now turning to Plan B to prevent radioactive water from leaking into the Pacific Ocean.
But is that useful?
In addition, Southwest Airlines has grounded dozens of aircraft in an attempt to ensure that they are safer than losing a large chunk of aircraft in the middle of the roof. flight.

Also, how did he perform in the last two games?
We asked him this morning.
This is CNN Sunday morning on April 3.
It was a pleasure that you had part of the weekend with us. I'm T. J. Holmes.
So, let's start with Japan, where the death toll from the earthquake and tsunami has exceeded 12,000.
This morning, we can tell you that the bodies of two missing nuclear power plant workers have been found since the earthquake.
CNN's Martin Savidge reported everything about Japan for us.
He lives for us in Tokyo.
Hello, Martin, again.
Can you tell us about the two workers? Their bodies have now been found.
Martin Savage, cnn correspondent: Good morning. J.
You know, every time you say this number, 12,000, it's an amazing number.
But what we're talking about is the two employees of Tepco.
They have been missing since the March 11 earthquake and tsunami.
They have been missing.
Unfortunately, their bodies have now been found in the basement of turbine building No. 4 and it is clear that they are victims of the tsunami and cannot escape until the entire area is described as 30-foot wave.
Some people actually think that the terrain has been laid out due to the waves, the Bay, the area, and the situation is worse than that, but they are the victims.
Continuing this crack, this proved to be a setback as it was a highly polluted area of water leaking from the land and entering the ocean from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.
We have known for more than a week.
They don't know where the cracks are.
Well, they confirmed this yesterday and they wanted to try to fill it out immediately.
So they began to pour all kinds of cement.
They poured a cup.
Then they made another one.
The water kept flowing out.
So, they realized it didn't work.
Now, the second step, what they 've been doing today, is a very high-tech polymer.
They 've been pumping it in to see if this can stop the leak-T. J.
Holmes: Okay.
Martin Savage, story about the update to US-
We thank you as always.
This morning, we turned to the retreat of Libya and the rebels to evacuate from the city of Brega.
Our Ben Wedeman reports that there are some ambushes and opposition fighters who need to pick up more ammunition before trying to retake the city.
Opposition and government forces have been in control of the city for several weeks.
Brrega is also the site of air strikes under investigation by NATO.
This is a rebel convoy.
Opposition leaders say 13 people have been killed after NATO attacked a rebel convoy.
Back here in the United States. S.
Southwest Airlines has now canceled hundreds of flights while investigating the strength of some aircraft.
They are looking for dozens of 737 weaknesses, such as the weakness of losing part of the roof on Friday.
The NTSB is looking closely at the aircraft and the flight data recorder. (

NTSB board member Robert sumwater: it is very important to know what happened in this incident.
We do not want this to happen again.
Aircraft structures should not fail and break as they did yesterday over Arizona. (END VIDEO CLIP)
Holmes: Well, Southwest Airlines said it might take a few days for the 79 aircraft they pulled out to check it out.
Tonight and early this week, we do have the possibility of some bad weather all over the country.
You have to listen to this.
Bring it up with Chad miles.
Five minutes after an hour. (
Business break)
Holmes: On CNN on Sunday morning, eight minutes passed.
When I brought you here, a lot of people breathed a sigh of relief as the temperature began to warm.
We entered the spring, but this is what we usually get in the spring.
AMS meteorologist Chad Myers: you can increase humidity when you encounter a big south wind, but you can also cultivate very dry, dusty air in the desert, you can make a fire.
Check out Albuquerque, wind warning, 70 miles an hour, all the way to Kansas.
Any fire that starts today can get out of control in a few minutes.
When your wind reaches 50 or 60 miles an hour, the fire will fly around.
That's what's going to happen today, from Kansas to parts of Colorado to New Mexico to Mexico itself. Texas, too.
Here are some photos showing what is happening when they put out fire in parts of New Mexico, yesterday the wind was only level 40 and they had problems.
Today, the wind speed will reach 30 miles per hour, faster than this, which will blow down from the south of Albuquerque (INAUDIBLE).
But I tell you how much fuel you can see.
It's not just some grass fire.
There are also trees burning in the jungle, and all the other dry things that have not yet rained.
Then in the east of there, there will be bad weather, where the humidity will indeed reach Chicago, and indeed all the way to Kansas City, to four cities, all the way through Missouri, just in I-70 there.
There could be tornadoes there, and there were tornadoes in Florida a few days ago.
The Florida flood finally broke out, some pictures of the Tampa flood.
No, that shouldn't be there.
I know that's --
See how good she is in the swamp.
No, it's nearby. The water is still there.
There is water everywhere.
Parts of South Florida are very dry.
In Tampa, South Florida, it's central Florida. there's not much rain.
Tried it but got no record
The drought damaged the rain.
So, we're gone, this is what we have for you today, tomorrow and the next day.
Today is Sunday.
If you live anywhere from Chicago to Kansas City and Texas, it will be in some parts of Arkansas until tomorrow morning.
By tomorrow night, to the southeast, to Tuesday, even on the East Coast.
So a charging cold front is pushing the warm air away.
Just like vinegar and oil, don't mix warm and cold.
They always want to separate when you try to make a salad.
HOLMES: OK.
So, we just started.
We can expect --
This is only April.
This is normal.
MYERS: Normal.
You will have 1,000 tornadoes before we finish the season.
HOLMES: Yes. Chad Myers --
This is an average season.
Chad Myers, thank you as always.
Thank you for coming.
We're asking this question.
Everyone is asking, no one can really predict the last four teams of the year.
Yes, someone did it.
Several people have done so.
We are the only one in the country who dares to get VCU and Butler into the final.
He will tell us. Find out how he did it.
11 minutes in an hour. (
Business break)
Holmes: starting with 68 teams.
We will be in the last four.
Now, yes, we have entered the last two games.
Basketball fans--
College basketball fans must have a good time this weekend.
The game was not disappointing last night.
Although you can question whether Butler is still Cinderella, The Battle of the Cinderella team.
But the eighth and eleven seeds here, VCU and Butler, did not end until the end.
But Butler won the game.
62, back-to-
National Championship.
They just beat Duke in last year's championship, when you might actually call them Cinderella.
Then, in a game that might not have to stay up late, you can't help but watch Kemba Walker.
UConn continues to beat Kentucky, 56. 55.
Kentucky was able to return to the game.
Connecticut has set aside some space between the two.
In fact, they were 10 points ahead of the break. Third-
The seed Husky finally won the match.
So, now, you get the bulldog and you go to Husky for the national championship on Monday night.
Now, for a lot of people who may not be college basketball fans, the most important thing for you is your position.
That's what many people do.
Even college basketball fans, you don't fill these things up.
Not many of you, like most, have VCU, Butler, UConn and Kentucky in the last four games. But get this --
Around 6 million people on ESPN filled in brackets.
Just before the start of the game.
Only two out of about 6 million people-
In the last four games, the two correctly selected four teams.
The winner of the ESPN online tournament won 10 awards.
So, this is a big deal.
The second place received $5,000.
But choose one of the last four players right now with me.
He's from East Brunswick, New Jersey.
His name is Joe Pullman.
He's with me now.
Thank you, sir.
Tell us how you did it.
I know this is one--
This is a careful study for you.
Technology and analysis.
Do I have this right?
The last four selected Joe pilemanvia telephone)
Thank you for letting me play.
Analysis is very fast.
This is the team I like and I picked them in about 10 minutes.
My son just filled out a bracket and set up a rack for a group of his friends from high school. then from there, I said, let me do it too.
Now, it sounds like--
Because, again, you will see all these commentators.
They are watching basketball all year round.
They study these teams.
They said they knew what they were talking about.
But none of them seem right.
So, are you telling me that it doesn't sound like you're studying so hard?
Have you seen many college basketball games in a year?
I don't see much.
I love this event and watch it with other sports every year.
I have to say that these people do know what they are talking about.
But what I'm saying is that this is a game full of opportunities.
All the last-
You never know the second thing.
Holmes: So, what do you really like about putting them in your last four VCU?
Pirsmann: Well, it was a bit of an accident.
I did not choose Kangda, KFC, housekeeper.
I like the coach.
VCU is just playing games with USC.
So, as I looked down, I saw that the University of Southern California was there, and my alma mater, Rhode Island, did not succeed this year.
So, I said let me go with a team that I sometimes follow in football. That it was.
Then the VCU won, so it was locked. And I had --
So, they had a good time. What a team.
Holmes: Well, one more thing, sir, people heard the news that you were one of the two who picked the last four.
It should give you a good position to compete for the grand prize.
But now your last two, who do you have?
Yes, my last two games were Kentucky and VCU, which won.
Sure, it's a different way of saying it, but my brackets are broken now.
Holmes: Well, it took them a while to finally break.
But it's a really cool story, sir.
Anyway, this is something everyone is interested in every year, whether they are college basketball fans or not.
So it's fun to hear how you choose the last four.
Sir, thank you for staying here with us for a few minutes this morning.
Congratulate at least two of the 6 million.
But, sorry, you can't take the grand prize home.
But we appreciate your time.
Pilsmann: It's very interesting and I'm looking forward to Monday night.
Holmes: Monday night, like all of us.
Thank you very much, sir.
You enjoyed the rest of the weekend.
Well, it's been 19 minutes now.
A lot of people, you remember the ones you saw in so-
Radicalization of Muslim communities
It happened last month.
It is said to be basically a political persecution against Arab-Americans.
But this morning we will be talking to two filmmakers who have worked with an Arab/American community to gain recognition about 10 years after the 9/11 incident.
The producers of "Hudson: Faith, fasting and football" are in our "face of faith" today. " (

Let me ask you first.
In this documentary, what are you going to do first?
What is the idea behind it?
Deere Rashid Ghazi, EXEC.
The Hudson producer: Well, back in 2003, I first heard the stories of these kids, who were mostly Arab-Americans, playing in a public high school, I think it's fascinating that they fast and commit to their religion, but for everything they have
American football.
We're going to tell a story about Americans, whether you're Arab or not.
We found it interesting and charming.
We also believe that there are widespread errors and stereotypes among Arab-Americans and Muslims in the media.
So, this story can tell the story of a community that has not only the religion and belief and culture that they follow, but also very American. (CROSSTALK)
Holmes: and ash. har --yes, go ahead. Go ahead.
We think football is an extraordinary way to tell this story.
So that's what we want.
Yes, I brought Ash-
Har Quraishi in Chicago is also the producer of the film.
He just talked about it there.
To be frank, American sports and all American children who happen to be Arabs.
Do these children think they are all American children? ASH-
Producer har quraishi: Well, it's really interesting.
If you talk to some of these children, some of them have been born and raised here.
