>> dan me boyle called this show the aisles of wonder and it left so many people wondering how on earth he managed to persuade the queen jump out of a helicopter with james bond 007. for me, that was most definitely the highlight. it had everything, not just that kind of humor, it had drama, it had david beckham in a speed boat going down the river thames and then it managed to maintain that great suspend which we had all been talking about, who was going to light the olympic caldron to mark the official opening of the games. and it really kept everybody guessing right down to the moment it happened. david beckham passed the torch to steve redgrave and then he ran it into the stadium. and then the honor was given to seven up and coming young british athletes, very much in keeping with the theme here in london of inspiring a generation. it was spectacular. they lit a whole collection of flames that went up to form the great caldron. it was a show that went on until nearly 1:00 here in london. this is what a few of the lucky people to have tickets thought of it. >> awesome! amazing. out of this world. i can't even believe it. >> how did it feel?

[ female announcer ] live the regular life. phillips'. welcome back. we've learned the man accused of killing 12 people in colorado last week was seeing a psychiatrist. here is more on the new developments. >> according to his attorney in colorado, the 24-year-old accused of killing 12 and gunning down dozens of others was seeing a psychiatrist at the time of the shooting. it's a huge development that stems from that package that was mailed to a professor at the university of colorado's aurora campus on monday. according to a motion filed in colorado, just yesterday, that professor was actually james holmes' psychiatrist, dr. lynn fenton. she is the head of student medical health services at the university of colorado's aurora campus. and according to holmes' attorney, mr. holmes was a psychiatric patient of dr. fenton and his communications with her are protected. that attorney is now trying to get ahold of that package and the contents of which, according to cbs news, supposedly describe how holmes would kill people. the information is privileged, according to holmes' attorney, confidential and should not be in the hands of the police. > now, i want to tell you this, on monday, school officials, including the campus police chief did answer some questions. and i want you to specifically listen to this exchange i had with the police chief regarding holmes' interaction with the campus security. >> did your department or any of your officers have any interaction with this student whatsoever? >> we -- i don't have any information on him at all. >> did you do a records check on him? >> yes. and as you already know, i think there was a traffic ticket from aurora. that's it for us, then and everyone. >> nobody ever brought him to your attention in any way? >> we've had no contact with him on a criminal matter whatsoever as a police department. >> a spokesperson for the university told cnn yesterday that because of gag orders that have been put in place, the chief wasn't exactly being forthcoming when he gave us that answer. here is the quote from the school out of concern with violating the court order. the chief didn't answer those questions directly. now the question is what else did the school know? what did or did not get reported to authorities. and the fact that james holmes was seeing a psychiatrist at the time of the shooting only raises more speculation. drew griffin, cnn, atlanta. >> drew, thanks. the deadly shooting rampage in colorado has raised alarm bells all across the country. now a maryland man is in custody after he allegedly called himself a joker and threatened to load his guns and blow everyone up. police found a huge cache of guns and weapons in his apartment. police say they are not taking any chances. >> well, when he said that he had made reference to the joker, we took this very, very seriously and moved quickly to have him evaluated mentally. but that's the way we took it, that he was making reference to colorado. he had 25 weapons in his home, most of them automatic weapons. several automatic rifles, thousands of rounds of ammunition. i would say that very few people have that much automatic weapons, ammunition. he was very serious, in my opinion. something that we could not walk away from. >> the man is undergoing a mental health evaluation. london's olympic security forces have a heavy burden on their shoulders, protecting the athletes .spectators there to see them. but securing the games hasn't been without its share of problems. mine was earned off vietnam in 1968. over the south pacific in 1943. i got mine in iraq, 2003. usaa auto insurance is often handed down from generation to generation. because it offers a superior level of protection, and because usaa's commitment to serve the military, veterans and their families is without equal. begin your legacy, get an auto insurance quote. usaa. we know what it means to serve. i tell mike what i can spend. i do my best to make that work. we're driving safely. and sue saved money on brakes. now that's personal pricing. securing the olympics. now that the opening ceremony is over, the big jobs turns to making sure that thousands of ath leads and those there to support them are safe from any danger. but addressing security hasn't been without its problems. our senior correspondent dan rivers has a closer look. >> this is the image that bush's government wants to portray on olympic security. an unpress dentd show of strength, missiles around the capital, warship oes thames and aircraft on stand by. but there's also this, chaos as private security form g4s struggles to train more than 10,000 guards for olympic venues and fails miserably. >> it's a humiliating shambles, isn't it? >> i cannot disagree with you. >> we caught up with some g4s recruits in east london who were equally candid about the disorganization of the company. >> lots of people have given up and they already have their accreditation and travel passes for around london, they have their uniform and they quit because g4s has been a complete mess. >> many of them young recruits still don't know where they'll be working. some are still waiting to complete their training and get their accreditation or uniforms. most are students or currently unemployed. these staff are not under the command of the police. but former senior policemen terica fore says that's a mistake. he drew up the initial security plan before leaving the force and says multiple private security firms should have been used, overseen by the police, not olympic organizers. >> i very strongly now believe that there should be one single person who, in fact, a uniformed person who should be in charge and that's should be the reference point at which everything from routine security incident he through emergencies should go to. >> the man who is now coordinating olympic security says that criticism is unfair. >> i tightly reject what he said in relation to the command and control arrangements. what we use day in and day out in the country is very successful. it delivers major sporting events every day. >> thousands of extra troops have been mobilized. they're being required to work closely with the police, embedded in every part of the police operation, including the london security control center for the olympics. >> this is the olympic security nerve center for london with 20,000 cameras, 8,000 more than normal, and up to 300 staff who are able to monitor just about every inch of all of the olympic venues. >> and if they do spot something, the men and women here have a formidable arsenal to call on. typhoon jets to the northwest of london are on stand by to intercept any aircraft trying to breach the skrikt air exclusion zone around the olympic village. >> we've got the sharpshooter, our number one behind it to take the shot if need be. >> that, of course, is the worst case scenario in the air, but when it comes to securing the perimeter of the olympic venues on the ground, the contingency plans have already been tested by the failure of g4s. >> and that was dan rivers reporting for us. next hour, we'll talk about the security of the olympics when we're joined live from scotland yard. just who will raise this adorable little girl?

is this really legal under the circumstances to just switch your mind, change your mind and get this baby back? >> our cnn analyst jeffrey tubinpored over this and it appears that the south carolina supreme court didn't rule in the best interest of baby veronica, but ruled in the best interest of the tribe, which is in essence what the statute is supposed to do. the critics of this law are saying this is an outdated sought from the 1970s. 30% of native american children were being ripped away from their families and 90% were not being put into native american homes. this was meant to uphold and protect the rights of native american children. the critics of this are saying that this is breaking up households, it's upsetting a lot of people there locally and nationally. >> that's the thing. it's just so upsetting. but in a statement, veronica's adoptive parntsdz say this, there really are no words to describe the incredible heartbreak, disappoint and pain that we are feeling. this is a complete failure within our justice system. so i guess, nick, is this the question now that the higher court has ruled or can these folks do anything to try and get her back? >> as you know, this federal statute, the jurisdiction rests in the hands of the u.s. supreme court which takes cases on native americans regular lieu throughout the year. they get thousands of cases every year and they only hear dozens of them. so this has one more step to go and there is another appeal process. but right now, it's just a heartbreaking situation. >> sure is. even the critics say we get it, we get the law, it was designed to protect these kids, but there shouldn't be a blanket reason why they do that, especially in a case like this. nick, thank you very much. what do you think about this, should baby veronica be raised by her biological father or her adoptive family? love to know what you think. tweet me, @ran did ikayecnn and i'll be sure to share some of your comments this morning. across the pond to london, fans are cheering on their first full day on the games. we're going live inside the fan zone. and now you can make them even more special... with new fancy feast mornings. mornings are delicious protein rich entrées... with garden veggies and egg. each one perfectly designed... to start her day with a little love. new fancy feast mornings gourmet cat food. the best ingredient is love. according to ford, the works fuel saver package could terally pay for itself. jim twitchel is this true?

but this is fell.'sfinal competition before retirement and he wants to go out with a bang. >> amanda davies, thanks very much. keep an eye on the queen there, as well. >> i will. diet and exercise is key to maintaining a healthy weight. we all know that. but wa if you just can't give up those not so good for you foods. you'll want to stay with this one. mark mcdonald is going to tell us how to have it all, pizzas, burgers, and a slim waistline. can it really be? this is new york state. we built the first railway, the first trade route to the west, the greatest empires. then, some said, we lost our edge. well today, there's a new new york state. one that's working to attract businesses and create jobs. a place where innovation meets determination... and businesses lead the world. the new new york works for business. find out how it can work for yours at thenewny.com. and it feels like your lifeate revolves around your symptoms, ask your gastroenterologist about humira adalimumab. humira has been proven to work for adults who have tried other medications but still experience the symptoms of moderate to severe crohn's disease. in clinical studies, the majority of patients on humira saw significant symptom relief, and many achieved remission. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal events, such as infections, lymphoma, or other types of cancer, have happened. blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure have occurred. before starting humira, your doctor should test you for tb. ask your doctor if you live in or have been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. tell your doctor if you have had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have symptoms such as fever, fatigue, cough, or sores. you should not start humira if you have any kind of infection. get headed in a new direction. with humira, remission is possible. all right, diet everies, listen up pup what if i told you you could lose weight and still eat all the foods you love. that's exactly what mark mcdonald teaches. he says with moderation, we really can have it all. so we sent nadya billchick and her daughter to find out more. >> mark and i, as you know, have spoken about me losing this ten pounds and lexi has battled with her weight. lexi, you tell mark. >> i've starved myself. i've done every single thing. what happens is i feel good for a couple of months and then i'm back to where i don't want to be and it happens every single time. i go out with friends and drink and do all of those things and not feel like it's controlling my life. >> i want you to know, you can eat the food that you love, you can drink alcohol, all in moderation. you can do everything that you want to do. we just have to teach you how to balance your body. and with the right exercise, you burn that fat up. >> we have to take the foods that you love, both of you, and simply put in the right amount of protein, fat, carbohydrates every single meal. that's it. second, the right calories per meal. third, you need to eat five to six times a day every few hours. finally, you'll release the stored fat and you will feel great and permanently reprogram your metabolism. right now, she's at 167.6 pounds weight wise. she's 31.4% body fat. that's a little too high for her. she's 52.6 pounds of fat and 114.9 pounds of lean body mass. lean body mass is your muscle, your blood, your water, everything besides fat. the goal that's going to get her the look that she wants is 145 pounds, 19% body fat. realistically, overall, i would say this would be a three-month process. and mark and alexa join me now here. mark, let's start with you. good morning. we just heard that your goal is to help alexa drop about 25 pounds and 12% body fat over the next three months. what do you think her biggest challenge is going to be? >> well, randi, it's great to be on. and, you know, i think the biggest challenge with lexi is going to be shifting her mind-set to make sure that her actions are going to meet her expectations. she's been a chronic dieter. she struggled with food, she struggled with gaining weight and losing weight. we have to let go of the quick fix mentality and educate her about how to stabilize her blood sugar, release her stored fat and teach her how to optimize her exercise. when she does that, she can permanently reprogram her metabolism. so shifting her mind-set, most important. >> alexa, mark has a three-month plan for you. are you optimistic? >> i am optimistic. as he said, it's hard to change your mind. i'm used to losing weight in a milk, losing 30 pounds in two weeks, seeing the results and mark said to me something very important. he said, do you like the way you look or do you like the way you feel? i love the way i look when i lose 30 pounds in two weeks, but i hate the way i feel. and for the first time in my life, the reason i was ready to take this journey is the first time in my life, i'm not worried about the weight. i'm worried about getting healthy, getting my body back, you know, in the right way. >> and it makes a difference in how you feel, what you're putting in your body. >> it makes such a difference. even two days after eating correctly with mark's plan. i feel like i should look on the outside. >> and you have some exciting news, i understand. progress? >> progress, yes, which is, you know, as -- it's not all about what you see on the scale and that's something mark had to explain to me. a lot of people get on the scale and they're so worried about the numbers. that can put you down about it. and so when i first went in there and i didn't lose as much weight as i thought, but i lost body fat. that's something really important. you know, it's going to take time. that's something that's just, you know, doing it the right way. >> mark, very quickly, for the folks at home, why should we pay attention to the scale every day? >> because it goes beyond that. lexi is down six pounds of body fat and she's dropped 3.5% body fat. weight is just a part of the process. she looks better, she feels leaner, her clothes fit better. she loses fat and then the weight comes. a lot of times when someone has a sticky setpoint where their body holds weight, it doesn't come the next day. and what you ate the day before, how much salt you had, if you drink alcohol, all these factors determine your weight. so it's so much more than just weight. weight matters, but it's only a piece of the equation and lexi is win, her health and she's blowing it up in a good way. >> of course, of course. mark, we know you have great advice. mark macdonald, thank you very much. we'll continue to check on you, so keep up the great work, all right? >> thank you. >> thanks, ran did i. >> worry going to continue to follow up on this journey and perhaps we can get a tip or two for the rest of the us. remembering the munich 11. 11 olympians killed by terrorists at the london olympics 40 years ago, but the opening ceremony came and went with no acknowledgement at all. we'll talk to a widow of one of the victims who has been fighting for a moment of silence for decades. et has been 40 years since 11 olympians were killed at terrorists' hands in munich. people around the world have urged for a melt of silence at the olympic ceremonies, but last night, the international olympic committee refused to hold those moments. they held a low key event at the olympic village for about 100 people. but that d do justice for the wife of israeli fencer andre schpitzer. he was killed in those attacks. israel is her widow who has been fighting for the moment of silence for years. unke, thank you for joining me this morning. let's start with what happened last night. there was a moment of silence held for victims of war and also a memorial wall, but no specific mention, again, of the munich 11. do you wish that you had been asked to contribute to this memorial wall? >> well, you know, we are, of course, very, very disappointed that, again, the ioc gave into terror because, you know, they told us that all the arab delegations, 46 of them, they would threaten a boycott if the 11 murdered israelis would be remembered. but, you know, we at home, we stood in a moment of silence with us and many, many other people in the stadium and, you know, also those who supported our request, they came along all these years we have been fighting by ourselves. but this time it was a different thing. you know, we are supported by, you know, lots of people in the democratic world. we are supported by governments, even by president obama. so we feel we are not along and we -- you know, no minute of silence, but you are not going to get silence, either, because we continue our fight. >> let me ask you about the official news agency of the palestinian authority. i actually sent a letter to the president of the ioc thanking him for not mentioning munich and the munich 11 in the opening ceremony. the letter said that it would have spread racism. how do you feel about that? >> isn't that ironic? i think it's cynical. what we asked was a minute of silence. we spoke to the president of the ioc just two days ago. we gave him all kinds of options opinion we said you cannot -- if you stand in front of thousands of young athletes, you cannot just disregard it. and if you want to inspire a generation, which is the motto of your olympics, you know, tell them, let us not forget what happened in munich so that this will never, ever happened again. our message is not a message of hatred or of revenge. the opposite. we want to tell them, you know, let's work together, that this will never happen again. but they didn't accept it in spite of a petition which was put on in new york. they gathered hundreds and 10,000 signatures from people from all over the world. 155 countries who all support this because we feel that if you forget history, you are going to repeat it and that is the whole of our message. >> is that why you want this moment? is that why you want this moment of silence? is this about closure or is this about sending a message of the to the world? because you have been fighting for this now for decades. >> well, it's both. it's first of all for remembering and for the ioc to take a stand against international terror. i asked for the president who was himself an athlete in 1972. he came with the same dream as our husbands and our fathers. the only different is he went up in the ranks and our husbands came home in coffins. i said to him, why can't you do this? what is your problem? he said, well, in munich, i had to decide if i was going to stay in the games or if i was going home. and he didn't want to hand the victory to the terrorists, he stayed. and i said, u now you are hand ago victory to theist trefts, even 40 years later. change your mind. he leaned over the table and he said, i'm not going to do it. so we'll fight on. we have so many support from so many people and we know that one day it's going to happen because they owe it to these 11 israelis who were part of the olympic family. >> ankie spitzer, thank you so much for your time this morning. appreciate that. >> thank you, ran did i. a possible multi state string of hepatitis c and hundreds of unspg hospital patients should be affected. we'll tell you how it happened and where. ♪ ♪ this is where the dream begins ♪ ♪ i want to grow ♪ i want to try ♪ i can almost touch the sky [ breathes deeply ] ♪ so clear, so bright ♪ not a cloud in sight ♪ so gold and sweet ♪ this dream ♪ ♪ [ knocking ] ♪ [ male announcer ] even the planet has an olympic dream. dow is proud to support that dream by helping provide greener, more sustainable solutions from the olympic village to the stadium. solutionism. the new optimism.™ ♪ this dream mine was earned off vietnam in 1968. over the south pacific in 1943. i got mine in iraq, 2003. usaa auto insurance is often handed down from generation to generation. because it offers a superior level of protection, and because usaa's commitment to serve the military, veterans and their families is without equal. beginour legacy, get an auto insurance quote. usaa. we know what it means to serve. the wife. hey, babe. got the jetta. i wiped the floor with the guy! not really. i would've been fine with 0% for 36 months, but i demanded 60. no...i didn't do that. it was like taking candy from a baby. you're a grown man. alright, see you at home.
