bonnie sits over the ocean. the tropical storm downgraded to a depression but its path brings efforts to permanently plug the bp oil well to a halt. we have the latest from the gulf. pentagon porn a shocking report finds dozens of military officials were surfing the web and downloading child pornography while they were supposed to be defending the nation. how did it happen? we'll take a look. plus a look how national security was put at risk. that sinking feeling, a milwaukee man driving his suv plunges into a sinkhole filled with electrical wires and rising water. he is rescued with just seconds

to spare. we'll speak with the driver and his saferior in an "early show" exclusive. and ride it like rio, ever have a tough time commuting in rough weather? this brazilian figured a way out, his story flying "under the radar" this morning july 24th, 2010. captioning funded by cbs and welcome to "the early show" on a saturday morning. >> seems like every time we sit together we talk about the heat outside. once again triple digits here on the east coast. >> non stop. >> our top story this morning, good news on the storm known as bonnie, downgraded to a tropical depression but a chance it could pick up steam heading over the gulf. right now on a course straight for the now nearly abandoned bp

oil site. >> of course, what everybody is watching a weak tropical storm hitting miami and broke up crossing florida moving into the gulf area. where does it stand? the latest with lonnie quinn with a look at that. >> erica, like you hinted at good news/bad news situation. the good news take a look at the satellite and radar picture, bonnie not very impressive. national hurricane center has reported 35-mile-per-hour winds around the center of circulation, the 5:00 a.m. update moving west-northwest at 15 putting that center of circulation, if you find one, about 185 miles south of ach pa la cha cola florida. the bad news it is moving directly over the oil slick, occur tailing efforts there. the national hurricane center says it could restrengthen to a low-grade tropical storm with winds around 45 miles an hour. that's what we think will happen, probably later today, making landfall somewhere around

the louisiana coast, best bet would be late tonight and early tomorrow morning looks about 2:00 a.m. sunday morning, that's the very latest on what is now tropical depression bonnie. we'll continue to follow everything and be back to a bit. chris, back to you. thank you. most of the ships working on the gulf oil spill have moved to safer waters ahead of the system but the main concern is onshore. later today the stormy seas could trigger a surge of oil into sensitive areas along the coast. our correspondent in grand isle, louisiana with the latest on that situation. kel dee, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, chris. this marina is usually buzzing with crews getting ready to go out for the day. this morning it is just spot fisherman because the clean-up operations nearly all across the gulf have been put on hold 48 hours until monday morning as the storm moves through. the well is still shut in. but, there's a lot of oil on the water. the small army spread across the gulf coast to stop the oil cleared out in a day.

nearly all the work on the water is on hold and at bp's well a mile undersea some cameras have gone to black. >> the intention right now is to put the vessels in a safe place to return as quickly as possible to resume their operations. >> reporter: no new oil has spilled in more than a week but millions of gallons are still in the water. late friday a patch loomed five miles from louisiana's coast with larger slicks farther out and nothing to stop it. even more is hidden beneath the sur vase. government sciences say it is diluted. the oil from that undersea cloud is 3300 feet below the surface, within 12 miles of the well. florida researchers found two more clouds in may, one 45 miles from the well another 24 miles away. and they say tests confirm the oil is from bp's spill. the water in this bay off grand isle, louisiana, looks clean now. so do the blue crabs charter

fishing captain bikowitz caught for dinner. but like so many here he is worried the storm could spread oil beyond the bays and marsh eses are you concerned about that? >> most definitely i don't want it on my property. >> reporter: his concerns shared by a lot of people here and they hope this storm stays weak and, if anything the waves help break up some of that oil on the surface. chris? >> kelly, thank you. erica? joining us from houston from the university of houston. good to have you with us this morning. as we look at bonnie we know it is not a severe hurricane but even still with a storm of this size and power, moving into the area of the oil spill, what will this do to not only the size of the spill but, also to cleanup efforts there? >> what this strong storm will do again, it's not as strong as

they were thinking it might be but still there will be some wave energy and wind energy that will push the oil around and on a large scale, the action of this will actually help disperse the oil and, as it's dispersing the oil, it will actually help the bacteria degrade it even better so in a large scale it's a good thing. in it a more local scale, it could actually push a lot of oil pockets onto shore, which could cause problems. some pockets could be pushed into the heads of estuaries and over top some of the barriers in place to try to hold the oil back. >> some of the boom barriers you're talking about. >> right, exactly. >> what are areas you're most concerned about, then on that local level? >> it would be things like the small bays you have there like mobile bay and areas like that behind the barrier islands and along the mississippi delta you

don't want to get that oil pushed too far up into the marsh because, again, that's a del delicate environment. but there are bacteria in all these that will biodegrade this oil but you don't want large volumes because it makes it hard. >> vessels will need to be moved out of the area. how will that effect though efforts moving forward? what's the time frame impact? >> well, based on the size of this tropical storm, it's actually still a tropical depression it's probably not going to be more than 48 hours. it could be even less. many of the vessels can withstand the winds, the sustained winds they have there at this point in time. the biggest danger is when you have a lot of vessels anchored or moored near one another and the wind can change direction and cause problems with collisions and that sort of thing. so basically, in this case they probably just need to stay away from each other more than anything. but, most of the vessels can

withstand 35 knots wind and, again, it always depends on the sea conditions. sometimes with these storms we get gentle as well as and those aren't too much of a problem but if you get as well as with choppy water, it can be more difficult. >> thanks. >> thank you. chris? >> a major pentagon investigation found dozens of military physicians shals and contractors some with top-secret clearance allegedly bought and downloaded child pornography on private and government computers. joining us is former internet child crimes prosecutor -- good morning. you would think those employees would be a bit smarter about this. >> you're right. what's amazing 5,000 individuals were being investigated and turns out dozens were top-secret clearance holding using

government computers on government time. >> how vulnerable is does this make our country when guys in the department of defense are up to no good like this? >> what it does is puts our country's security at risk and at risk for the people watching at home. i say that because now you are vulnerable to bribery. you may have downloaded a virus that puts a back door into a government system that can be used on a cyber terrorist attack by an enemy foreign state. >> some em ploeploees are downloading child pornography using their e-mail addresses. did they not think somebody would trace this. >> i think you have to be an idiot to be doing it on government time. >> why did it take so long for the government to find out about this? >> it has been going on for some time and two things come out of it. one is is the government using the proper monitoring filtering, blocking systems on the government computers? and second it takes a while to

prosecute. you have to put the forensic evidence together. there were people across the country from dayton california oklahoma, new york virginia all over the country who were government contractors or top-secret-cleared employees. >> so will there now be more prosecution ahead or what happens now? >> from the report that came out that was redacted a lot of areas were treated as top secret it's hard to tell you about there's no question it takes a while and 5,000 individuals to go after, you will continue to see more prosecutions. >> one of the most egregious abuses of office equipment you've seen in your time prosecuting cases like this? >> it's one of the worst. >> thank you very much. sobering thoughts. hard to believe something like this is actually going on in the government. >> yes. >> thanks. we appreciate it. betty? >> good morning, chris and to you at home. shirley sherrod is home in georgia quietly pondering her

next career move. but the ousted official says she would like president obama to as she put it promote togetherness in america. our correspondent joel brown is at the white house with more on this. good morning, joel. >> reporter: betty gorng to youod morning to you. the dust finally starting to settle here at the white house after a week that turned shirley sherrod to a household name. after a rapid-fire week of interviews -- >> i made the statements. i told the story. >> it was just unbelievable to me. >> this has been a whirlwind, you know so much has happened. >> reporter: and apologies. >> without a doubt, ms. sherrod is owed an apology. i would do so certainly on behalf of this administration. >> i started off by extending to her my personal and profound apologies. >> reporter: shirley sherrod returned home to georgia and went silent as the u.s. department of agriculture

waits to hear what's next in her career. sherrod became the center of attention when conservative blogger andrew breitbart posted an edited portion of the speech she gave. she was forced to resign her position at the usda but when the full tape emerged, the apologies mounted culminating with a call from the president. >> i've been dealing with some of the same issues he's had to deal with. >> reporter: now the administration and nation wait to see whether this formerly obscure government worker will return to a job with the department that once let her go. the sherrod affair overshadowed much of the white house agenda last week. look for the president to try and turn the page next week with a major speech on education reform and a trip to detroit to talk about jobs. betty? >> thank you joel. four american service men bers were killed this morning in a bombing in southern afghanistan where the forces lead a major offensive against the taliban.

today's deaths bring the number of americans killed in afghanistan this month to 52. the former commander of u.s. forces in afghanistan retired. general stanley mcchris extol given a hero's send-off friday in washington. his career spanned 34 years. president obama relieved him of the afghan command last month after mcchrystal was quoted in "rolling stone" magazine criticizing administration officials. we at cbs news want to note the passing of a former colleague, legendary newsman daniel schorr died after a brief illness. he was 93. jim axelrod has his story. >> reporter: he was an old-school broadcast journalist in fact the last working reporter one of edward r. morrow's boys. >> my territory is central europe. >> reporter: he joined cbs in 1953 opening the moscow bureau in '55 and left in 1957 after his application for a new visa was denied by the soviets.

following his interview with --. he ended up on nixon's enemyies list during watergate he always called his greatest achievement. >> at one point he got so mad at me -- he had hoover launch an investigating on me trying to get dirt on me. >> reporter: born in the bronx, son of russian immigrants he clashed not only with officials but news management and left cbs in 1976 after an uproar over his reports. the first reporter turner hired when he started cnn in 1979 and joined npr in 1985 as a senior news analyst. he never stopped working there. his last "week in review" was just two weeks ago. scott simon host of the program where he delivered his analysis said dan schorr was around from the russian revolution to the

digital revolution and could have added and we were all better informed for it. and he will be missed. let's shift gears now. lonnie quinn with a first check of the weather this saturday morning. good morning, lonnie. >> you heard chris and erica talk about it earlier it is going to get really hot out there, part of the story but the headlines out there, bonnie in the gulf of mexico. a tropical depression right now, all right, forecast to strengthen later today pushing over the area

make it a great day wherever you are. we'll say where we are got dicey last night, happens rarely but new york city had a tornado warning. tough to get rotation because of the big buildings in the city. we had a tornado warning in effect until 1:00 in the morning. >> wow! incredible thunderstorm too. great to watch. >> what a light show unbelievable looking, yeah. >> sheets of water. >> hot today, though. >> if only it cooled it off, lonnie. >> the beach! >> staying inside today. >> still ahead this morning, an exclusive interview with the man who survived this sinkhole in

milwaukee. had just filled up the car. he sees a streetlight sinking into the ground and before he knows it he and the cadillac down they go. how degette out? he's here with his rescuer to tell us. >> which way did he go? we also know the president of the united states how about the receptionist of the united states? the gatekeeper to the west wing ava brown is with us this morning with an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at this position. >> talk about a position of power. >> you know what where are you sheltering your money these days? >> under my mattress. >> we'll give you spots where to put it to make it grow. >> stay with us. is is "the early show" on cbs.

let's talk money right now, a bumpy ride on wall street this week with the dow dropping over 100 points tuesday but surging thursday. ending on the up side. as always in volatile times people look for safe havens for

their money. rebecca jarvis has suggestions for you. how do you protect your principal in volatile times like this? >> first off, chris, you really have to be selective and give yourself a broad basket of things. don't put all your eggs in one basket and know when you give that money up beyond the bank and under the mattress principal protection is not always easy to do and not 100% guaranteed. >> you have no control over your money when you relinquish it. we have five safe havens starting with blue chip stocks. >> blue chip dividend-paying stocks are some of the more conservative stocks out there companies like johnson & johnson companies that have withstood the test of time. they also tend not to give major downside what you are looking for in a market and economy like this. if you have a struggle in terms of picking out the dividend play

you are looking for you can find a fund or etf with access to all the dividend stocks out there, which is good. >> dividends for folks at home may be unfamiliar with -- >> a little kick-back. >> you have to be patient, as well. >> do you. >> corporate bonds now position 2. >> corporate bonds are ious from companies saying we'll pay you back your principal over a period of time with a particular rate of return on that period of time. and what you want to think about when you're looking at corporate bonds on the conservative side is look for companies with a rating of a or higher. this is their rating from the financial overseers in the markets and they're telling you these are companies that are healthier than some of the companies out there. >> if you go to a restaurant in new york or los angeles. look for that. >> exactly. >> floating rate funds. what are these? >> floating rate funds are funds that are going to pay you more as interest rates go higher. right now they are at all-time lows. what you can basically safely bet out in the future rates are going to be going higher and you

will make money on these funds over the course of time. >> stable value funds? >> these are something you are going to find in your 401(k). if you are invested in a 401(k) at your company look for a stable value fund. they are one step above your cash savings or money market savings and tend to return a bit more. last quarter did about 3% in terms of returns and are stable. >> this is good too, high-yield savings. i know my man lonnie quinn got himself a high-yield savings at a local bank and you think that is kind of the way to goimplts we eat locally and can bank locally, too. that's really good thing in terms of keeping your money and growing it a bit faster. high-yield savings accounts can be found at bankrate.com. check it out, about double what you would normally get. >> wasn't there a fear about a year and a half ago some of these banks would go under and everyone went with the more popular banks? >> yes. there was. under the new financial regulatory reforms we have a guaranteed protection on $250,000 in any bank in the

united states fdic insured. >> thanks very much. up next from a putrid plant to a south american street surfer, we are taking you "under the radar." you talk about a safe place for your money, "under the radar" is where it's at. that's next here on cbs. did you know saving money on gas can be as easy as changing the way you drive. driving the speed limit and using cruise control can reduce your gas consumption by

as we get our papers ready, are you ready to go? we need to be buckled in. >> a lot of prep kwags for this segment. >> what we feel i know many out there feel one of the most famous segments in all of

morning television. >> one of the most anticipated. >> we are the gatekeepers for it. we call it "under the radar." we begin with japanese beat boxer. listen to some of thiessensational sounds inthiessensationese 1 sensational sounds in a moment: a little confused. i apologize for that. so far, three million views on youtube for this. >> just beginning, i think. professional kite surfer ranked sixth in the world. this will give you an idea why rita romeo didn't let rain dampen your spirits. what do you do when it rains like that? take to the streets. here he is in his native rio de janeiro doing wave boarding.

is he wearing a seat belt? >> do they have traffic laws in brazil? >> did you investigate that? >> we may have to look into that. >> i think we ought to go to investigate. >> he's got it going on not bad. >> not bad. >> in tokyo, a story that really really thinks thousands line up this weekend to see and smell a rare giant flower blooming for the very first time in 20 years. when we say smell, we mean smell because the plant's pungent odor has been described a cross between raw cabbage and rotting meat. >> lovely. >> i can't think of any worse. don't think of getting this for a special occasion. i have not smelled something that bad since we got a whiff of lonnie's new cologne this morning probably as putrid as they get when it comes to cologne. i don't know if it is an official one. >> pepe le pieux.

>> that's this week's "under the radar." hope you enjoyed it. >> good stuff as always. >> when we come back this sinkhole story. in good morning, it's saturday, july 24th. here's what people are talking about. police will investigating a double shoot anything baltimore county. two people were shot before 9:00 p.m.. they were driven to a local restaurant and called for help. the police say that both were taken to area hospitals. and questions of cheating at a baltimore city school. test scores stirred suspensions and this year, they added monitors to make sure that the numbers were accurate and the percentage of 3rd graders who

aced the tests were cut in half. and what a difference the day makes as the orioles took on the twins after they shut out, they made big plays on both sides of the ball. last night, a two run home run from luke scott took the o's ahead in the 6th and they won it 3-2. it will be a record breaking hot day today.

help him quickly. >> with electrical wires everywhere. we'll talk to them in a moment. also with us our special contributor is here taking us on a private tour of the west wing of the white house to meet a special young woman, the gatekeeper to the president. a lot of attention. she does not have time for a lot of interviews but did for ava. looking forward to that. >> working 16-hour days. insane. kids, are you ready to wiggle. crew? let's see some reaction. are you guys ready to wiggle? yes, they are because the wiggles, they're here, oh yeah excitement that saturday morning excitement on "the early show" on the pla sza and a preview of their tour. >> a lot of kids very excited. before that we'll check with betty at the newsdesk. good morning. >> good morning. the search continues in lake michigan for four people missing since the crash of a medical plane. debris was found several miles

looking faces out here look at all you guys here for wiggle action, is that's what's going on? wiggles? >> i think that would be a yes in kidsspeak. i want to talk about the we had situation because you heard about the flooding in the midwest. there will be more than rain a slow-moving system places like milwaukee have picked up like seven inches of rain the past two days and the possibility for localized flooding in the area maybe see another one inch or more. the reason it's not moving so fast because of the high pressure system in the eastern half of the country bringing in big-time heat but also blocking that precipitation to our west and could well be changing -- there goes a fire engine, because it will be fire-like hot in new york city today. that's a quick look at the national picture. here's a closer look at the weather for your weekend.

>> look at those faces. look at those faces. i got to tell you, you know they were so animated and excited when the wiggles were out here and the weatherman comes and it's a blase moment. i've got to tell you this isn't -- hello sweetheart. one of my favorite moments is my shout out hello to all our friends in roanoke, virginia located in the beautiful blue ridge mountains originally called get this big lick in the 1800s all due to a large outcropping of salt downtown now features the virginia museum of transportation. we thank everybody for watching on wbg 7. we'll be back with more but back inside to you. >> we'll speak exclusively to

kwoo a -- the ground suddenly opened up and he and the suv plunged 20 feet into a sinkhole. a passer-by pulled him out. they both join us exclusively from milwaukee. good to have both of you with us. >> hello. >> morning. >> lance, set the scene for me. driving along with terrible storms and as i understand you notice a streetlight kind of sinking into the ground and before you know it you're zipg ing you'resinking. >> i looked to my right and saw a guy taking a picture of a streetlight but the streetlight was parallel to the ground and

as i comprehended it basically looked like the streetlight just sunk into the ground. and as i did that that's when basically the road just collapsed under me and my truck just fell 20 feet into the hole. >> and you passed out so when you wake up and all of a sudden realize where you are and what's happening and you're trying to figure out how to get out, what's your first thought how you are going to survive this? >> um yeah. like everything went dark for about five seconds. when i looked up there was a huge sewage pole with water gushing out of it and i basically looked up and looked around me and i was just looking for a way to get out and there really didn't look like any way to get out, at least for myself. i was going to need someone else. but, i figured i needed to get on top of something, otherwise, i was going to get washed away by the water. so i climbed through my window and jumped on the roof.

was trying to find a way to get out. i jumped on my roof. >> luckily, mark is coming by. mark, did you actually see lance's car plunge into the sinkhole? did you realize it was there. >> yeah. i actually was about two to four feet away i witnessed the same he did. i was on my cell phone walking up to the intersection and i noticed a traffic light at ground level and i'm like you know, this looks so bizarre and i told my buddy i was talking to i got to take a picture of this you wouldn't believe it. like a second later, his struck just disappeared and -- >> so, at that point, you realize you need to help. you are not getting through to 911. mark, how were you able to get him out? because the distance between the sides of that hole and we are was are pretty big. >> well actually i ran to where i could see the safest ground was because some of it was eroded underneath the road and i started yelling to see who was in the car. i didn't know if it was a family or who was in there and he stuck his head out and i said you

know get over here by me. i'll get you out of the hole and i just laid on the road and somehow we ended up getting hands together and i just pulled him up and out of the hole. >> and grabbed a beltloop too as i understand. lance, as you look at these pictures -- when you look at your car laying in there, have you started to process this at all yet or is it still kind of surreal? >> yeah it's been surreal. i was in shock after i really i just like was just questioning the entire situation, i just thought i was in a dream. i mean it all happened so fast and when i was down there, my reaction time i just knew i needed to make decisions as quickly as possible because with the water filling up the hole so quickly, i thought i was going to drown or there was -- so many electrical lines and everything down there, just i knew i had somehow -- i needed to get out of there as quickly as possible

otherwise it would get really bad. >> luckily you did quick thinking. great to have you both with us this morning and the great part it has such a wonderful outcome. thanks for your time this morning. >> thank you. >> good stuff over there. coming up meet a young woman with the power to get you to the oval office the gatepeeper to the president of the united states and it really pays to be on her good side. we'll go to the west wing when we come back. you are watching "the early show" here on cbs.

how do you keep it interesting and keep going? >> the inspiration from the children. we spend a lot of time touring and doing concerts. just seeing the children -- >> we cannot wait to hear more from the good morning, it's saturday, july 24th. here's what people are talking about. police will investigating a double shoot anything baltimore county. two people were shot before 9:00 p.m.. they were driven to a local restaurant and called for help. the police say that both were taken to area hospitals. and questions of cheating at a baltimore city school. test scores stirred suspensions and this year, they added monitors to make sure that the numbers were accurate and the percentage of 3rd graders who aced the tests were cut in

legendary actress julie andrews sits down talking about singing in the alps, flying with her umbrella and turning to the dark side in "depickable me." thisty "the early show" this saturday morning, july 24 2010. welcome back to what's a very quiet early show here on this saturday morning because the wiggles have dominated our crowd here this morning so the kids are paying attention to them not us right now. >> all in awe looking at their favorite people to watch on tv. great to have the wiggles and their fans this morning on the plaza. welcome back. i'm erica hill. >> along with yours truly, chris wragge. guess who is with us? >> julie andrews, dame julie andrews. really looking forward to sitting down and chatting with

her. also a lot of people excited about "mad men" their fourth season coming up. they inspire sod much not just cocktails which i think we've talked about on the show before but fashion really taking a coupue from the sort of mod -- >> the fedora -- >> coming up for the ladies. >> sort of a fashion show. >> we'll make you "mad men" fabulous this morning. >> we have all that coming up but first back inside to betty for another check of the weather. >> formerly tropical storm bonnie expected to strengthen again today in the gulf of mexico forcing many of the ships working at the bp spill side to move to safer waters. our correspondent is in grand isle, louisiana with the latest and joins us live. one of the big concerns today is whether the cap will hold as the storm blows through. >> reporter: that's right, betty. but, in fact because this well

is so far below the surface, 5,000 feet about a mile the storm really won't have any effect on it. the winds won't touch it. the waves won't touch it. that's not a concern really for the cap itself. the waves could be a problem for the ships on the surface. we'll have to see how strong this storm is once it gets closer. some of these ships, which use those unmanned submarines, which monitor the well on the seafloor are the last to leave, a couple are still there. you can still see the live cameras. but if the waves get high enough they, too, will have to reel up the rovs and move off to safer waters. that hasn't happened as yet and the fact the storm is weaker is really a good sign. some of the other ships, for example, the ones drilling the relief wells had to pull out early. they have a lot of equipment to get back up on the ship and move fairly slowly. so, they are out of the way.

best- best-case scenario in the storm remains weak the ships could be back on site by monday some of them anyway and we may, may see an attempt at killing the well by wednesday from up top, the static kill. >> all right. kelly, thank you for that. los angeles fire officials say several brushfires that broke out friday are contained one within site of dodger stadium. it took firefighters an hour to contain the three-acre blaze. the fire briefly closed two lanes on a nearby freeway. a larger fire east of l.a. threatened about 30 homes. the ongoing search for the 7-year-old missing more than six weeks in portland oregon. this morning investigators say they are making significant progress but make no details. his step-mother was the last to see him when he was dropped off at school in early june but has not been named as a suspect in his disappearance.

the los angeles suburb of bell california, a week-long uproar over city officials' eye-popping salaries continues this morning. our correspondent john blackstone has the latest. >> reporter: determined to prove they can fight city hall the angry citizens of belle, california turned city council meetings to shouting sessions especially with the latest revelation, that four council members have been collected $100,000 a year for the part-time job. >> we don't make money like you guys. i'm not up there. and if i was up there, i wouldn't be cheating the people. >> reporter: bell is a blue-collar city of about 37,000, hit hard by the recession, it has a 16% unemployment rate. so you might think if any city could afford to richly reward its council members it would be this one. but the council members in beverly hills are paid less than $800 a month while those in much

less prosperous bell can make $8,000 a month. beverly hills just hired a new city manager, annual salary $275,000. high compared to other cities around the country. a mere pittance compared to bell's city manager, who makes $787,000 a year. >> we want to find out how in the world could any public servant do this? >> reporter: bell's mayor defended the high paychecks saying the city was well run and a model of financial prudence. john black stone, cbs news los angeles. the latest with lonnie joining us outside with a check of the weather. good morning, lonnie. >> good morning, betty. a hot one out here. you know, of course we have the wiggles on the show so i've got -- the parents and little ones not only them falcons baseball. your name sir? >> bill conroy. >> what is falcons baseball? >> that's high school in virginia beach, virginia. >> and you are coach. >> head coach, yeah. >> how was the season this year.

>> pretty good made it to regionals. >> who took you out? >> gloucester. >> darn. congratulations, you have to say, though. >> yeah. >> show good sportsmanship all around. weather-wise, the deal looks like this, the weather headlines show bonnie rolls over the oil slick right now a tropical depression could restrengthen to a tropical storm and would be a weak one. southwestern soaker because of monsoon season one to three inches of rain. localized flooding from flagstaff to albuquerque. looks like a wet day. let's get her down. you don't have to stay up there, honey. a quick look at the national picture. get me down! here's a closer look at the weather for your weekend.

looks like she's doing a lot better now. >> she's better. >> all righty, sweetie. >> lonnie i'll take it. by now about everybody has heard the recordings of mel gibson ranting at his ex-girl ex-girlfriend. friday grigorieva to reporters. joining us to help sort out what all this means in the ugly battle between gibson and his former girlfriend. good to see you. >> good morning. >> assuming these reports are accurate is it even legal for her to record mel's voice mails like that and provide them to radaronline and all these places. >> if she's truly the victim of

domestic violence claiming a legitimate fear for her well-being, her recordings of him and attempt to sell them if in fact it's her or somebody connected to her is going to undermine her cause. it's going to undermine her argument before a judge because she's going to be a lot less likely to be believed. >> we've had experts the last couple of weeks who said she needed to do something like this because no one would have believed her otherwise. >> that's a very good point and it's true. look i've made arguments as a domestic violence prosecutor and i make them as a criminal defense attorney it's very hard to prove the fact of domestic violence. so, maybe she did use these or make these to prove that. however, one, these tapes don't prove mel hit her and, number two, why the delay? this alleged incident happened in january of 2010. they broke up this april. why was it june her lawyers rushed to the courthouse? if these reports about a negotiated settlement are true it's a lot less likely that a

judge will believe her claims of a legitimate fear. >> let's talk about extortion, that was brought up this week a potential $15 million price tag out there for an agreement here. does that also undermine her case? >> absolutely. look the fact that she considered reaching a financial settlement with her doesn't mean she's not the victim of domestic violence but it also, reflects something other than her genuine concern for her safety and the well-being of her child. if, in fact she was leveraging these tapes to get more money from mel, it's going to be a very difficult case for her to prove domestic violence. >> three sides to every story. his side her side and, of course the truth. what's the next play here for both sides? we haven't even heard really from mel's side. >> i think his lawyers are very smart not to come out at this point. i think we'll see a big long very complicated fight from him and that is the way people have to defend against false accusations of domestic violence

if, in fact they're false in this case. >> what's her next play. >> she is going to have to i would suggest, if she's connected to any of these tapes being released she should be retreating and working were her lawyers to discuss how to pursue her custody battle but shouldn't be out in the press. >> thank you very much. we appreciate it. good to see you this morning. >> thank you. >> up next she's created memorable characters -- dame julie andrews' latest career move is quite a departure. she join us next to tack aboutlk about her legendary career. you're watching "the early show" here on cbs.

for julie andrews and the joy she has brought us on stage and screen. >> for more than a decade she and her daughter have created a series of children's books. the latest hit shelves in may and immediately became a best seller. julie andrews joins us this morning. so great to have you with us. >> congratulations on the book too. >> thank you. we're so thrilled it's doing so well and it's a charming little story so we're very happy about it. >> it is. if you are not familiar it talks about the sparkle inside. >> really about individuality and finding your own inner sparkle. >> and now on the "new york times" best seller list. you've done a number of books with your daughter. >> we have. i think we've published together about 20. i think altogether we have about 25 on the list and it's such a joy. we've been going for about 11 years now. and it's such a pleasure to work with your daughter. >> what sparked that initially?

i know books obviously were pont to you as a child and to your children. >> i've actually been writing, i think i must have been the first celebrity author that ever started the whole idea of celebrity authors because about 40 years ago i wrote m my first children's book but emma and i began writing, as i say, about 11 years ago. >> for a lot of people when they look at you don't necessarily sea you a see you as one of those iconic characters we measured. you are known as a sweet motherly character typically but a departure in your latest film "despicable me". >> i play the most despicable lady i do, actually have grown fond of her. she's a terrible mother and thank god the only thing she's completely out to lunch with it and has no idea how terrible she is very self-involved, funny

but she's a monster. >> at first you thought maybe this would not be the best role to take on. >> yeah. >> what made you change your mind? >> mostly i realize she wasn't mean despicable just as i say, completely involved with herself. and so they showed me the picture of her before i started recording in the booth and she's this try angular shaped lady with enormous beehive and nose and spectacles but such fun. >> when you look at your body of work over the years do you have one movie or one character that stands out more than any other? i know everyone at home probably has theirs. but what about you? >> well, it's deifficult because i love each movie for a different movie but people tell the character i'm most like is probably maria in "the sound of music." i don't know.

you'd probably have to ask my kids. >> did you have you had this kind of iconic film in the making? >> i don't think so. i think we hoped it was the mountains of austria and beautiful music and the story that we'd have a nice family movie but, my god, we had no idea, i don't think. but it's a brute fullifyeautifully crafted film. every single thing about it was immac immaculately done. >> the beautiful voice and the singing. you have surgery a few years bag. >> actually about 14 years back. >> which changed things for you. >> it d. that's one of the reasons i've concentrated more on the publishing and children's book and my emma with whom i write said a lovely thing. i was kind of moaning about i just wish i could sing again and she said, well mum, you've just found a different way of using your vis and i thought that was -- it suddenly put

everything into perspective for me. >> are you singing again a little bit? >> i have about five or six base notes and, as i say, when i do go on stage, i can sing the hell out of "old man river" but that's about it. i do the best i can with what i still have. >> before we let you go we have one final question for you, if you had an opportunity to sit here and have early coffee with someone, who would it be. >> anyone? >> anyone. >> living or dead? >> yes. >> oh my god. just so many people. oh, my lord. um, who would it be? well, i always wished i could have met winston churchill. that would have been very nice. we could have a nice cup of tea together i think. high god my god, some of the great, great singers of our day. i did happily know pavarotti and admire him tremendously. he would have been nice. but i'm very happy with you guys.

>> we are very happy with you, as well. that's fine by us. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> dame julie andrews, truly a pleasure to have you with us. >> thank you. thighs to have nice to have you, too. i probably should have said somebody like jesus or gandh or something like that. >> stay with us. to finish what you started today. for the aches and sleeplessness in between, there's new motrin pm. no other medicine not even advil pm is more effective for pain and sleeplessness. new motrin pm.
