rescue workers used everything from their hands to shovels to cranes, to reach trapped survivors crying out for help amid the rubble. a reporter in van describes the scene there. >> let me tell you, it's really, really cold, it's zero celsius degrees, literally freezing. and there's no electricity in most of the city. no natural gas. i mean the survivors are now trying to survive the cold weather at the same time. >> turkey is especially vulnerable to earthquakes because it sits on major geological fault lines. an autopsy confirms that moammar gadhafi died if a gunshot wound to the head. the following images are very graphic. what doctors didn't reveal is whether the ousted libyan leader was shot in a cross-fire or killed by rebel who is captured him last thursday. the u.n. is calling for an investigation into his death. meanwhile people lined up over the weekend to view his corpse. the family wants his woddy handed over. as the international community asks more questions, many libyans are celebrating gadhafi's death. declaring freedom from the dictator they feared and hated. celebrations in benghazi. cnn's nick walsh was there. >> reporter: in a speech he called on libyans to remember their history. told them -- clearly a sign he needs to appeal to the goodwill of individuals there to begin on the hard road ahead to reconstruction and trying to create some kind of post-gadhafi world where high expectations and the like, held by ordinary libyans will somehow be translated into improvement in their normal lives. the ruling national transitional council said it will hold the first elections in eight months. they're counting votes in tunisia, the country where the arab spring uprising ten months ago, held the nation's first free elections today. people flocked to the polls for a new constitutional assembly. thousands of individual candidates competed for 218 seats, the first results are expected on tuesday. the revolt that toppled tunisia's long-time president triggered similar uprisings across north africa and the middle east. president obama is shifting gears in a bid to jump-start the economy. "the new york times" reports the president will propose executive branch actions to tackle such problems as housing and education during a three-day western trip, which starts today. the first stop is las vegas. the "times" says he'll push for new rules for federally-guaranteed mortgages so more homeowners with little or no equity can refinance and avoid losing their homes to foreclosure. in denver the "times" says mr. obama will announce policy changes to ease repayment of federal loans by college graduates. 32-year-old shark attack victim is being remembered by family and friends as unique and one of a kind. george thomas wainwright of texas was killed while scuba diving in western australia, near a popular tourist spot near perth. they said the bite marks on wainwright's body indicate a great white shark probably attacked him. his sister spoke with a cnn affiliate wnbb. >> i think it was the wrong place, wrong time. he was very wise, i would trust him with anything to do with being on the water. i always had complete confidence in his skills. >> he was an extraordinary person, he was one of a kind. and he, you know, like my sister said, he's more than just a quick news spot. he was our brother. and we loved him. and he will be missed. >> wainwright's death was the second fatal shark attack near perth in the past two weeks. let's go 0 our friend, meteorologist rob marciano in atlanta. what are we expecting in terms of flight delays. >> a little bit. a weak storm moving across the great lakes and what's shaking in the tropics, still hurricane season. so what's happening down there is certainly of concern to us, we may something that's going to be making its way in our direction. first off, the travel delays like you wanted, atlanta, low clouds, detroit, cleveland, some thunderstorms in the morning and afternoon wind. and some showers possible in miami, some fog in memphis, not a terrible big deal. but the front that's moving across and developing through the plains, that not only is going to bring colder air, but may drop temperatures from denver from 78 to the 30's by the end of the week. here's tropical storm rina, off the coastline of honduras and nicaragua, expect it to become stronger through the next couple of days, eventually becoming a hurricane as it gets closer to cancun by the end of the week. that has us worried if it gets into the gulf of mexico. watching that very carefully. also watching this or done watching it, i should say. we've talked about this other satellite that was going to come crashing back to earth. this one a german one. and it did so, saturday night. sometime between 9:45 and 10:15 eastern time. took about 15 minutes to hit the ground. there it is, about two tons' worth of it. they think it broke apart into about 30 pieces and fell somewhere over the indian ocean. or potentially in mainland, china. and some of the city there is are very populated. it's possible that some of the debris came down there. but they think if it hit anybody, we would have had reports by now. and we haven't seen that so satellite number two has gone, come and gone and has hit the ground hopefully to nothing big as far as damage is concerned. >> we haven't heard anything about any damage or injuries as a result of this thing. and no more satellites on the docket that will be crashing back to earth. >> very good, my friend, rob marciano in the weather center. late-night comedians are saying good-bye to gadhafi in their own special way. here's your morning punch line. >> of course with this sort of event, there's always the question of proof. >> there's a photograph that has been published from the news agency, afp, i want to warn you about that, it's quite graphic. >> now, gadhafi's death was difficult to confirm, since every living picture of him could be confused with a death photo. nation, i say we need to stay vigilant here. gadhafi with a "g" may be gone, but we still have not captured gadhafi, and the others. >> all right. steve jobs, the genius you didn't know. a new biography sheds light on the co-founder of apple. it's a very interesting story. we'll have details of that coming up. but first our quote of the day, quote, we are sick of you criticizing us and telling us what to do. that's one what one world leader said to another. find out who was on the giving and receiving end of that quote. in 90 seconds, it is eight minutes after the hour. her loves your new progresso rich & hearty steak burger soup.

well the stolen truck carrying president obama's teleprompters has been recovered. but one of them is still gone. yeah, meanwhile joe biden's teleprompter has taken its own life. shot itself. >> time now for your political ticker with tim farley. host of "morning briefing" on sirius xm. live from washington, good to see you. >> good to see you, ali. >> president obama heads out west a week after his east coast tour. and he's hitting the road, with a brand-new mantra, probably one we're going to hear for the next year or so. your thoughts? >> well, yeah. it's got tweeted out by the white house yesterday. we can't wait is going to replace, pass this bill. perhaps because "pass this bill" didn't work. and a couple of pieces of the bill went up in the senate and down to defeat. the house is here, but no action on the president. so why not? this visit, ali, i think when you look at it closely, is all about money and the latino vote, the hispanic vote, that the president carried so successfully in 2008. and they don't want to go back to 2004, when george w. bush got about 44% of the hispanic vote. clearly the president is going to be talking money. there's, we look at today, there may be something on the mortgage markets here. as you well know, nevada is just in the toilet when it comes to mortgages, that's one of the things i think he's going to be focusing on today, too. >> i think for the average viewer who doesn't follow politics as closely as others do, it's unclear whether these trips are campaigning or whether they are as the president said, in his speech to the joint session of congress, this is him taking his message to every corner of the country. i guess the bottom line is, are these kind of trips necessary for policy? or do they just give the gop more ammunition to say that the president is out on the hustings when he should be governing. >> the president is the president wherever he is. i guess it depends how well it's presented. the big, big fundraisers are going to be behind closed doors. he's going to be having dinner and a voter's house and will smith and jada pinkett smith's house, no cameras allowed. people will see the president talking about substantive things and pushing republicans and it does sort of fit in with policy. this is what every president has to deal with when he's running for re-election. >> i know that these primary and caucus calendars are remarkably important. nevada has pushed back of the date of its caucus. it does seem to be one of those things for the audience that thinks that they want to hear about policy and decide who to vote for for the president, this seems to be whole lot of insider process. but where do we stand now on these primaries and caucuses? >> and to your point about the number of people, 20 million people have launched the debates, about five and a half million, the cnn debate alone last week. there are some people engaged in this. and the people in iowa and new hampshire are very engaged. the 3rd of january and the 10th of january. in those states, we're going to see this campaign unfold rather quickly i think you'll see, probably mitt romney try to win in new hampshire. he's more or less favored to win there. and iowa may be a rick perry state or it may be a herman cain state. it sort of depends on how it shakes out. the thing is, once we get through january we'll see who has the money to continue. >> if after these four, tim, we don't have great performances by beginning grish, by ron paul, by michele bachmann. by rick santorum, are they out? >> i believe they are. if they can't be out by the end of january, they'll have a tough time making it through february, because there are no contests there. i think you're probably right. that will thin the herd. >> right. all right, tim, always great to see you thanks very much for joining us again as always. tim farley, the host of "morning briefing." remember all the debris from the tsunami that hit japan?

around the world with my good friend, monita rajpal who joins us from london. >> good morning, ali. you remember secretary of state clinton visited the afghan leader. now president hamid karzai has some pretty strong words that just don't seem to favor the united states. on a broadcast this weekend on pakistani gotv network karzai said quote, god forbid if any war took place between pakistan and the united states, we will stand by pakistan and he went on to say, if pakistan is attacked and if the people of pakistan needed afghanistan's help, afghanistan will be there with you. now, the odds of a war between the u.s. and pakistan aren't particularly high. it is believed that these words were to soften some statements he had made earlier. and angry comments he made over pakistan's support for afghan insurgent groups, a bit of a surprise, but after what has been considered a successful visit last week with the secretary of state. ali? >> very interesting comments. let's talk about the trash, the debris from the earthquake and tsunami that hit japan. we've always known that it's heading toward hawaii. but there's some news it might be getting there substantially faster than we expected. what do we know about this? >> a lot sooner than was predicted. kind of wave that hawaiians probably aren't used to. we've seen the video of wrecked fishing boats, furniture and other debris. headed towards hawaii. according to some, it's coming a lot sooner than expected. the debris washed out to sea after a tsunami roared ashore in japan last march. now as much as 20 tons of trash, 20 tons is floating in the pacific ocean. and researchers are saying the currents are carrying it toward hawaii. one of the reasons for the adjustment is that this russian ship, it reports that a few weeks back, it came across some debris,ic bottles, even tv sets and refrigerators. it's moving faster than they predicted and it may arrive at midway island next spring, but it's nearly there already. they could see the debris wash up on their shores in less than two years. >> you see, as you said, boats, cars, trucks, i saw an airplane and a helicopter. it will be interesting to see how much of that survives, how much of it doesn't sink by the time it gets there. that will be quite a bunch of stuff to see wash up on the shores. new video may help crack kaes of a missing 11-month-old

distracting. >> it really breaks your heart that we have been looking the wrong direction. and as a result of that, we might not get the happy ending that we want. that's what i'm sad about. >>

macinto be. he would could many in and say, we need to have this done by next month. and people would say no, you can't possibly do that and he would say yes, you could it that. in the end he would

here's the thing, we've been hearing about the euro zone debt plan for a long time. and leaders over there have been on the verge of one for a long time. but they've got a lot of different countries that have got to agree on a very uncomfortable plan for a lot of them. they say they made some real progress over the weekend. but they're not quite there yet. that's kind of what we expected to happen on friday. so this is where we were on friday. now it's looking like wednesday is the big day. on wednesday, european finance lieders say we will know what their solution is to the debt crisis over there. they say it is very intricate and complicated plan and they'll be ready to talk about on wednesday. so to be continued once more. >> okay. the next story, i don't know how i feel about this, largely because i feel like i'm not sure we need to regulate something that's going to cost the banks more money. that results in us paying more money. but there's something enticing about the idea that i can change my bank account, and keep the same bank account number. >> well, look, nobody wants any more regulations. that's for sure. you know, just creates a bunch of hassle. but i think when you feel like you've been taken advantage of so many times, a lot of people feel like they may need new regulations to kind of stick it to the banks or to keep the banks from sticking it to them. this is an idea that's been introduced as a bill before congress to allow you to basically take your bank account number with you wherever you go. kind of like you do your cell phone number. the idea is, to make it easier to change banks. right now, it's so difficult. you have to change all your direct deposits, all your bill pays, all your automatic payments, those sorts of things, it can be very, very difficult to switch a bank. that kind of puts the favor on the bank's side when they're raising fees and doing things like that. you're looking at these fees and saying, maybe i am willing to pay a little bit more, because it is such a big hassle to move. the idea is to bring your account number with you to make easier to move. the banks say it will make it more expensive to us, and that means we're going to pass it on to the rest of you. >> you know what i would do, aside from the regulation, if i were a good bank, and there are some, i love my bank. that charges virtually no fees and has really good service and really long hours and really nice people, i would just say -- we'll set up a system where if you transfer to us, maybe you don't get to keep your same number, maybe you do. but we will just make it really easy, we'll take over everything in your account and make it easy to transfer everything. because i think it is next to impossible. the reason people don't change their bank accounts is it's such a pain to do it. >> i think there is room within the private sector to do this as well. someone could come up with a plan and say, we're the only bank in the u.s. that you can come here instantly and say everything will be set up for you. >> carter, you and me, have a little capital on the side, we'll start up the bank of ali and carter. see you in

angeles with more. >> when court resumes, dr. steven schaeffer will still be on the stand. he testified last week for the prosecution this is the prosecution's most important witness. they're just finishing up with him. what he's been able to do is establish for the jury what the prosecution believes happened the night that michael jackson died. after he's off the stand, the defense will start its case in chief. and we expect to hear among others, from some character witnesses. these are going to be dr. murray's patients from las vegas and houston. they will come in and tell the jury that he's not such a bad guy. in fact that he's been a fantastic doctor for them. then the most important witness will take the stand for the defense, dr. paul white. he's basically the counter, to the prosecution's expert on propofol. white and dr. steven schaeffer, they are colleagues. and white is going to be paramount for the defense. he will have to answer the questions that were raised by schaeffer in the prosecution. we expect he'll take the stand wednesday or thursday. and we expect that he will be the defense's last witness unless, we don't expect it, they bring dr. conrad murray to the stand. the bottom line, the case should end up, if murray doesn't take the stand, at the end of the week. >> and of course we'll keep following that on cnn. now to today's sports headlines,

iran. it killed 217 people, injured 350 more at least. the death toll is expected to rise. die nanna magne is in ercis turkey. we understand that getting to villages to help those in need has been very difficult. what are the problems? >> hi, ali, this is a remote part of turkey. ercis, where i am, i've just been visited by the interior minister, saying 169 people died here, 95 in the sort of regional main city of van, which is about 100 kilometers away from me. they do expect the death toll to rise. but interestingly he said it wasn't rising as fast as they had feared. there are supplies coming into the area, there is food, a little bit of food. they are trying very hard to rebuild the electricity supplies to get water flowing again. but that hasn't happened yet. he said the biggest problem is actually getting tents and accommodation for people. but that this evening, the red crescent would be distributing 7,000 tents that will hopefully be able to give some kind of shelter to all the people made homeless tonight. ali? >> the issue of course continues to be the temperature. whether there's rain in the forecast author those who did survive, getting the tents will be helpful. but it's going to be cold. >> it is extremely cold at night. and many of the people here who have been waiting for news of loved ones were out throughout the night. as the search and rescue efforts continue and as you can see behind me, they are still going, they've been using dogs, they used the sound technique to listen out in silence and see whether there are any knockings and any sounds coming from within the rubble. but since day broke, certainly in the two or three sites that we have visited, for this, while the search and rescue keeps going, they say they haven't heard any noises. and also of course, what made the nighttime searching far more difficult, ali, was the fact that there were numerous aftershocks, one man said he felt at least 16. which of course, hampers the efforts to find people. ali? >> diana, thanks very much. an autopsy confirms that moammar gadhafi died from a gunshot wound to the head. now we want to warn you, the images you'ring about to see are very
