"newsroom" begins right now. we begin with startling new developments in a missing child case that riveted much of the world nearly five years after madeleine mccann vanished during a family vacation to portugal, british police came out this morning and say they believe she may still be alive. they released a new image showing how she might look. she'll be 9 years old in mid may. she was 3 years old when she vanished. investigators face blistering criticism for the way they handled that case. max foster is following the latest developments from london. bring us up to date. >> carol, what we've had is an update really on a british police investigation instigated by the british prime minister about a year ago. they are going through all of the evidence gathered by the portuguese police and british police and by private v investigators. 37 officers working on this full time. a quarter of the way through it and they say they found lots of new leads. let's look at the detail then of what they have come up with. this is suggesting the british police are calling for portuguese police to reopen this case. at the moment it's still closed. the british want them to reopen it. up to 200 leads they're talking about. things that could be investigated, gaps in the evidence, could be investigated by the portuguese police. 40,000 pieces of information is what they got and they're dealing with right now. 100,000 pages worth of evidence, carol. a huge investigation. it is still closed at this point. >> are the mccanns reacting in any way this morning, max? >> no word yet from the mccanns. if we bring up the photo, this photo we're told was put together in very close cooperation with the mccanns. that's their message today. look at this picture. if it's recognizable in any way, get in touch with the police. it's deliberately being designed to look like a picture that a child would have taken at school. it's a sort of picture that any parent could have on their mantel piece and encouraging people in portugal at the time, are there any ideas you may have that you haven't gone to the police with or people who since then might have seen a girl looking like madeleine mccann would look like today. >> max foster reporting live from london. new developments and new casualties in the colombian prostitution scandal. three more members of the secret service losing their jobs pushing the total up to nine. that's not satisfying the political blood lust. republicans turning up the heat and demanding the focus shift to white house staffers who also made the trip. senior congressional correspondent dana bash is on capitol hill where an important hearing gets under way in the next hour. tell us about that, dana. >> reporter: it will be homeland security secretary janet napolitano. this is the first time we'll hear from an administration official and an important one in public testimony about this scandal. i spoke yesterday, carol, to the top democrat and the top republican on the senate judiciary committee. when it comes to the republican, never mind the secret service, he wants to know more about the white house advance team. the white house counsel looked into it and is satisfied no one on the advance team to colombia did anything inappropriate. gop senator chuck grassley isn't. >> i'm not going to be satisfied until we get some independent look at this. >> reporter: grassley, the top republican on the senate judiciary committee, says he wants an outside probe. the homeland security department's inspector general should investigate there was there any misconduct in colombia by any white house staff. his reason? >> so that there's no political implications with it and the reason for all of this is this is a serious matter. this isn't just a case of prostitution being used some place. this is a case of national security and the protection of the president of the united states. >> with all due respect, he knows that's not going to happen. >> reporter: the judiciary committee's democratic chairman says he sees no evidence of white house wrongdoing and dismissed grassley's call for an independent investigation of the white house advance team in colombia. >> with all of the press that's down there, with all of the conference, the white house has been involved this thing would be on the front page of every newspaper in the country by now. the fact of the matter they weren't. >> reporter: until now outrage and disgust over the secret service scandal has largely been bipartisan. no longer. family party lines are emerging. >> let's get this out of politics. we're talking about the security of the president of the united states. i don't care if they're republican or democrat. i want our president to be secure especially when they are in another country. don't play politics with this. we'll get all of the facts. the facts will all be made public. >> reporter: speaking of facts being made public, that's another area where grassley is dissatisfied. he wants the white house to release information about its internal inquiry. >> the most transparent administration in the history, which they aren't, but it seemed to me that all of their methods and what they found out ought to be made public at the very least. >> reporter: senator grassley cold "john king, usa" that accusing him of playing politics is a cheap shot. tensions are going to be probably pretty high between these two lead senators at this morning's hearing which starts in just under 20 minutes. more broadly, of course, the main questions that a lot of senators will have for janet napolitano with regard to the secret service is whether or not this is was just a one incident or whether this is a cultural problem and this has happened before. >> i know you'll pop in and listen. we'll check back with you at 10:00 a.m. eastern. dana bash reporting live from capitol hill. at the u.s. supreme court oral arguments get under way in a critical test of an immigration law. at the center, arizona's immigration law. it raises the question of whether state laws can trump federal authority on immigration issues. critics say it's a racist law that relies on racial profiling. arizona says the flood of illegal immigrants has created a crisis for the economy and the public safety and says the law just wants to help federal authorities. the obama administration says the arizona law overreaches and creates more problems. in other news this morning, john edwards' former aide back on the witness stand today. andrew young testifying he helped the former presidential candidate carry up his affair with a campaign videographer. young claimed he was the father of rielle hunter's child. edwards is accused of using campaign contributions to hide his mistress. a jetblue airliner is forced to make an emergency landing after two geese slam into the windshield just after takeoff. it's the second such bird strike on a commercial flight in less than a week. listen to the pilot as he alerts air traffic control that he's returning to the airport. >> jetblue 571 contact new york depart u departure 120.8. >> we got to come back. we hit two big geese. >> 571, roger. stand by. jetblue 571 make right traffic runway 1-6. >> would you like to declare an emergency?

>> i'm good. let's talk about mitt romney's speech because it seemed he was taking playbook from the democrats frankly. >> he sure did in a way. this was an important speech because he was trying to pivot from a primary campaign to general election battle against president obama. he used that speech to do it. while the speech is getting rave reviews from some people, it also is interesting. you know every poll you've seen and i've seen indicates that romney has a problem identifying with middle class americans, average americans and the problems they are facing. in a speech last night he talked about single mothers who have to take two jobs. about grandparents who can't afford the gas to visit their grandchildren. he said help is on the way. he also talked a lot about fairness. that's something you hear president obama talk a lot about. take a listen to romney from last night and also the president from his speech yesterday as well. here you go. >> we will stop the unfairness of government workers getting better pay and benefits than the very taxpayers they serve and we'll stop unfairness of one generation passing larger and larger debts onto the next. >> we can't to keep tax cuts for the wealthiest americans who don't need them and didn't ask for them or do we want to make sure that they are paying their fair share. >> sounds similar, doesn't it? pretty interesting stuff. you'll hear more of that from romney. one thing about that gop fallon interview, i love the preezy of the united steezy. the president is on a youth tour for past for you days trying to shore up support among young voters. if his appearance on jimmy fallon last night, he was a hit. he found the perfect stage on late-night tv. listen as the president joins jimmy fallon on a slow jam of the news. >> the reason it's so important to keep down costs is so we keep college affordable. >> and the president knows his stuff, y'all. that's why they call him the pot -- it means person on top. >> jimmy, potus stands for president of the united states. >> he's the potus with the mostest. >> maybe obama didn't make his audience swoon but he's playing to a familiar tune. he's more likable than his challenger, mitt romney. the wild time in colombia cost nine secret service agents their jobs. at least one lawmaker says that's not enough. he thinks their boss needs a pink slip too. we'll have that conversation after a break. more than a technical foul. the nba slaps metta world peace with a seven-game suspension for throwing an elbow to the head of an opposing player. we'll talk that story next.

"newsroom" back in two minutes. so the new orleans saints scandal got a lot worse. jeff is here to talk about that. we first hear allegations that the gm is listening to other coaches on the sidelines during games. >> you think it's just a football problem at that point. >> it's not. >> the fbi is investigating. right now the state police say they are investigating as well. this is a problem now that looks like it's going beyond football. new orleans saints already in trouble over the bounty hunting scandal now have to deal with this. to be clear, the general manager, mickey loomis denies the report from espn that says while he was in the super bowl at home games he could listen to the coaches of the other team talking and of course deciding what they're going to do on the field. calling plays, et cetera. loomis again strongly denies it. the team denies it. espn citing unnamed sources saying they couldn't determine if loomis listened to this. a spokesman said it never happened. yesterday reporters asked the interim coach about the report. >> it's ludicrous. absolutely ludicrous. it's impossible. i've never heard of it before. that's something from "star wars." when i heard about a wiretap, i didn't know what they were talking about. what are you talking about? this is ludicrous. and then to associate mickey with that. it's irresponsible. it's a shame. >> now to be clear, the accusations are this happened in the 2002, 2003, 2004 season before sean payton was there. and the former head coach is responding to the reports saying there's no way this happened. during my years no time during my tenure did the saints mickey loomis and i discuss monitoring opposing deep coaches communication nor did i have any knowledge of this. the nfl saying we don't know anything about this. the questions are how is someone else finding out about this and how is espn coming up with the report? >> maybe they will question them. i don't think espn will give up sources. the fbi is now involved because it's a crime. >> one question would be what's the statute of limitations on this. one expert says it should be five years which would fall outside of those limitations but if they are covering something up, how far back might it have gone or how recently has it been going on? >> we'll talk more about it later. thank you so much. now is your chance to talk back on one of the big stories of the day. the question for you this morning, could america elect a nonchristian president? mitt romney is a mormon. he's been running for president since 2007, maybe many christians are not comfortable with his religion. on the campaign trail, romney has discussed what bonds him with other christians. >> i happen to believe that jesus christ is the son of god and my savior. i know people have different views and i respect those views and don't believe those qualify or disqualify people for leadership in our nation. >> still some students at liberty university, an evangelical college are upset that romney will speak at commencement calling him a cult leader. an influential voice in the christian community disagrees but qualifies his support for romney. >> when i hear mitt romney say that he believes that jesus is the son of god, that he's the christ, raised from the dead and he's his savior, that's good enough for me. i would encourage them in the same way. we don't all have the same views. i realize mormonism is not traditional christianity. i'm broader and more open in the fact that when someone loves jesus and believes they're the son of god, that's good for me. >> he could support a muslim or hindu president based on their values, leadership ability and faith but could we or dare i say could american voters support an atheist for president? that's my talk back question today. could america elect a nonchristian president? graphic testimony in john edwards' corruption trial. his former aide talking about the ex-candidate's secret life and his affair. the defense taking a shot at andrew young today. new threats against senator marco rubio. serious enough to police to give him extra protection in florida and washington. we'll talk to the reporter that broke that story. we're back after a quick break. for a hot dog cart. my mother said, "well, maybe we ought to buy this hot dog cart and set it up someplace." so my parents went to bank of america. they met with the branch manager and they said, "look, we've got this little hot dog cart, and it's on a really good corner. let's see if we can buy the property." and the branch manager said, "all right, i will take a chance with the two of you." and we've been loyal to bank of america for the last 71 years.

>> i'm good. thanks for joining us. any idea of what these threats are specifically? >> we don't know specifically. i hope we don't ever find out because it will mean that there's too many leaks. from what we understand the office received a credible threat according to the u.s. capitol police and i believe -- but we're not sure -- this may have come through the west miami police department. we're double-checking that. >> is it unusual for a candidate -- not a candidate but for a possible vp candidate i should say to have police protection in washington and in west miami? >> well, right now he doesn't have it. i don't think -- if you monitor your e-mail and you see what people are saying out there, it's not unusual to have loonies target various politicians of various parties. that's what's happening here. rubio didn't have security until now. now he has it. obviously if he's chosen as mitt romney's vice presidential candidate, he'll have around the clock secret service security but right now it looks like it is just capitol police in the capitol and west miami police down here that are providing the security for him at his house and his office and when he's out and about in the capital. >> did this start after his name came up as a vp choice? >> that's a good question. we don't have access and capital police won't give it to us. to all of the threats, complaints and scary stuff directed at various politicians. we don't know. this definitely happened as of late. whether it's connected to him being a vice presidential candidate or whether it's connecteded connected to him advocating for immigration reform hin his way, who knows. this stuff happens. it's a bad reflection on what can happen in politics. people can get a little stirred up and loonies can go out and do lunatic things. >> sadly you are right. thank you for joining us this morning. >> thank you. still to come, the first case of mad cow disease in the united states in six years. it is found in a dairy cow. ho how worried should we?

>> no reaction today. we know they were very involved in forming this portrait you have shown. the idea is to show madeleine as she probably would appear to the best of their estimations, really. it's deliberately made to look like a school photograph. the sort of picture people could have or parents have on their mantelpiece jogging memories if they have seen the girl looking like this or remember being in portugal at the time she went missing. there are gaps in the story and opportunities for something to have happened which they are not aware of. they are going to try to get it reopened. it's up to the portuguese. >> i know you will follow this. new developments and casualties in the colombia prostitution scandal. nine members of the secret service are losing their jobs. right now, the powerful senate judiciary meeting is opening it up. janet napolitano is front and center. she is the first member to face public questions. here is what she had to say moments ago. >> the director took immediate action to remove the agents involved. a thorough investigation is under way to determine what transpired and actions we need to take to ensure this kind of conduct doesn't happen again. director sullivan has the president's and my full confidence as this investigation proceeds. investigation will be complete and thorough and we will leave no stone unturned. >> congressional correspondent dana bash is on hand. that was the opening statement. has the questioning began? >> reporter: it has. what is fascinating has been so far. it's just the beginning. both democrats and republicans are extremely forceful about one of the main concerns, which is, of course, the safety of the president and everybody else who is protected by the secret service. listen to what the democratic chairman said about that. >> nobody wants to see the president's security compromised. nobody wants to see america embarrassed. i can't think of anything that would -- aside from the personal tragedy, anything that would look worse than the rest of the world if something happened either to president obama or governor romney, especially during a presidential election. >> carol, the first question that the senator asked janet napolitano is whether the president was in danger. she said that was the first question she asked mark sullivan and the answer was no. according to what they know so far, no concern for the president's safety and no access to secure information by the people involved. >> what did the secretary say about the possibility of other instances? >> reporter: she was asked that question and if you can look at the live picture, she's being asked similar questions by the republican lindsey graham. she was careful in her answer. it was interesting. the way she answered was in the two and a half years that she has been there, the office of public responsibility, where anybody would call to report a tip of bad behavior, they have not received complaints. she made a point saying there had been 900 trips internationally and 1300 do mesically. nothing on the record to say it happened. very careful to answer that question that there's nothing on the record. it doesn't answer the question of whether or not it happened. >> we'll check if with you later. in chicago, a trial resumes for the man accused of murdering jennifer hudson's family. he's charged with killing her mother, brother and nephew. a former aid to john edwards back on the stand today. he may be cross examined. andrew young has been spilling intimate details about his bosses secret love life. he used large amounts of campaign contributions to hide his affair. here is joe johns. >> reporter: with andrew young on the stand, is the former right hand man fixer to senator john edwards. the prosecution laid out an amazing story of sex, lies, politics and money. young spoke of the day when rielle hunter made so many repeated frantic calls to him. when he finally got her on the phone he said somebody better be pregnant or dying. rielle hunter responded, nobody is dying. when edwards found out he was pregnant, he responded gruffly saying she's a crazy slut and there's a one in three chance it's her child. stunning was the big money donor who agreed to help because she thought edwards could rescue america. andrew young secured the agreement to give hundreds of thousands of dollars to the benefit of the campaign, no questions asked. checks in ever increasing funds went through her decorator and endorsed by young's wife. with this money, he moved rielle hunter to north carolina to keep her away from the media. she was threatening to go public. he gave her a $5,000 a month allowance. a couple times it went up to $12,000. he rented a house for her in his name. got her a bmw. she was going by a different name. young said rielle lived in his house with him and his wife and kids for about three weeks which he called very difficult. rielle could be very demanding. more than once she said if she didn't talk to edwards, she was going public. how did his wife feel? young says she was scared to death. we were scared to death. edwards was a viable presidential candidate and this was a truckload of money. they asked if it was okay to do it. edwards said it was completely legal. they spoke in code. knowledge of this could hurt him if he were to become attorney general. it's andrew young's version of events. today, he's expected to get challenged as the edwards defense team gets to cross examine him. carol?

maria? >> we need to take a step back and take the amazing things the secret service does to protect the president every day from tracking down a stupid comment a teenager puts on facebook or the rants of rocker ted nugent. it's something to take into consideration. if this investigation leads to the director, yes, he should go. i think common sense, good behavior, personal responsibility and knowing when to keep it in your pants is something they need to take personal responsibility for. >> chris? >> well, i think there's a larger issue here, relative to the culture of government agencies in washington. this is an example of boys gone wild, obviously. if we look at the larger culture in the agencies, we have the secret service scandal, the gsa scandal and we have the secretary of defense, panetta, on this 8$800,000 trip he has nt repaid the taxpayers. there's that issue. he's supposed to do that as part of his ride home. what's important, we have to figure out if it leads to the head of the secret service, he needs to go. >> daniel? >> the key factor is how much it spreads. we heard there were about 11 individuals involved in the beginning. some of those relieved of dut s duties. we heard from secretary napolitano and the president they have full confidence in the director. i don't think we are going to see his resignation and i don't think the president wants him to resign. >> question two, president obama and jimmy fallon slow jam the news. >> what we said is simple, now is not the time to make school more expensive for our young people. >> the staford loan. the pell grant is a beautiful thing. is it enough to satisfy your needs?

>> you said fox news was criticizing this president? are you sure your researchers got that right? >> i'm going to double check that. >> of course it's a great medium. millions of young people watch this. that's exactly the kind of voters president obama was trying to reach. he was serious, but he was funny in the give and take. they had a thing going. the whole thing is hilarious. it gets students to talk about it. forget whether we are talking about it. it's not what the president cares about. his message got through to the students. >> time for the buzzer beater. 20 seconds each. salahi wants to run for governor of virginia. he crashed the white house party without an invitation and lost his wife to the drummer of journey. why should virginians vote for him for governor?
