>> not yet because i had closed my file and had disposed of the agreement. i'm getting it from my client. i hope to get it today or tomorrow. and once i do that with my client's consent, i will do that. >> has your client asked you, in fact, at this point to do that? >> she's still mulling over what she wants to do about this. she's naturally concerned about all the publicity and this coming up 12 years after the fact. >> the attorney, joel bennett, says his client has been very upset since the story first came out because cain is giving the impression that she made up the allegations. bennett says he knows his client very well and that he's sure she would not make up a false complaint. if you have a 401(k) plan, good chance you'll be eyeing the markets throughout the day. the big question this morning, will they take another nosedive like yesterday? over fears the european debt plan for greece may collapse. as you see here, overseas markets are mixed right now. japan's nikkei closed down while the hong kong's hang seng closed up. and right now in europe, the ftse is trading up. the latest turmoil was triggered by prime minister -- by the prime minister of greece, and his surprise plan to let greek voters decide whether to accept a bailout plan reached by european leaders last week. a no vote could result in greece abandoning the euro as its currency and possibly defaulting on its huge debt. the move could cost the prime minister of greece his job despite the fact the candidate voted to support the referendum. a no confidence vote in parliament is set for friday. all of this mess triggered, a big selly of on wall street yesterday. bank stocks were hit especially hard. a bit of good news, though. stock futures are trading up on wall street right now. one firm that got caught up with the european debt crisis and suffered heavily is mf global. the commodities and derivatives brokerage house which collapsed in bankruptcy on monday. now the discovery that hundreds of millions of dollars are missing from customers' accounts. the feds are trying to figure out just how that happened. according to sources close to the investigation. mf global is led by jon corzine, the former governor of new jersey and former ceo of goldman sachs. occupy protesters are calling for a general strike in california today in a bid to shut down the city of oakland, and they're urging unions, workers and students to take part. tonight demonstrators plan to converge on oakland's port, one of the city's most visible symbols of commerce. they're protesting a police crackdown which they say caused serious injury to a veteran. protesters claim scott olsen suffered a fractured skull after being struck by a tear gas canister launched by police. a new warning about alcohol and breast cancer. even moderate drinking increases a woman's chances of developing the disease. that's according to a new study of more than 100,000 nurses in the united states. the report says that as few as three to six glasses of wine consumed in a week increase a woman's chance of developing breast cancer. and the risk went up with the amount of alcohol consumed. the link between alcohol and breast cancer isn't new, but the effects of moderate drinking had not been calculated before. the study appears in the latest edition of the "journal of the american medical association." now let's head to atlanta and check in with rob marciano. good morning, rob. >> good morning, carol. we have a storm brewing out west. denver, second snowstorm in a week. i know that sounds a big deal, it's in denver, you know, it's still early in the season. and we had our own little early-season snowstorm across the northeast. and those folks still in the dark, a lot of them, and still very cold. here are flight delays. denver's going to be a spot. heavy snow and wind. although they do a great job out there getting rid of the snow. but visibility will be an issue as will the wind. and los angeles, also gusty winds. santa ana winds setting up out there. chicago, minneapolis and dallas may be your problem areas. mild on the eastern third of the country. and more east of the mississippi, should be quiet as far as the weather is concerned. but, again, those who are dealing with the power outages still half a million or so in connecticut and massachusetts, parts of new york and new jersey, those areas in the snow zone are below freezing this morning. so they're dealing with that on top of being in the dark. all right. back to the west we go where the high fire danger's going to be an issue with those santa ana winds blowing. and a couple of feet of snow potentially across parts of the higher terrain. with the winds and low visibilities east of denver, blizzard warnings have been posted for that area. 33 for the high in denver. 57 in new york. we take you back out west outside san diego. check out this video, carol, of a car got in a fight with a fire hydrant. look at the high-pressure water scooting up the back end. i don't know how long it was like that, but shows you just how powerful the water pressure of those high durant hydrants c. don't be playing in that one. >> can you imagine going out to get in your car and seeing that? it's like you'll never believe what happened. that's true. thank you, rob. >> see you in a bit. everyone has an opinion on why kim kardashian and kris humphries are getting divorced, and that includes comedian jay leno. here's your punch line this morning. >> after just 72 days of marriage, kim kardashian has filed for divorce from her husband. 72 days. i was on at 10:00 longer than that. >> i know. >> i was. please. well, tmz is reporting one of the reasons they broke up was that kris wanted to live in minnesota, and kim didn't. which is understandable. you ever been to minnesota in the wintertime? you freeze your ass off. and in kim's case, that could be fatal. that could be fatal. that could be a career ender. shock waves in greece felt around the move. the move that stunned europe and triggered a huge selloff of stocks. first our "quote of the day." the ncaa, the thing that governs college sports, not everyone is happy about it, so here's today's quote. the ncaa is one of the most vicious, most ruthless organizations ever created by mankind. i think you would compare the ncaa to al capone and the mafia. find out what u.s. leader said that in 90 seconds. it's eight minutes past the hour. while going shoeless and metal-free in seconds. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle...and go. you can even take a full-size or above, and still pay the mid-size price. now this...will work.

>> reporter: well, the cabinet vote for the referendum was unanimous, but the problem is, the greek prime minister, george papandreou, is now facing a no-confidence vote in parliament on friday, a vote that he may lose. if he does, that could trigger snap elections and would see the kind of unraveling of this feel that european leaders thought they had nailed down in brussels last week. the g-20 was going to flesh out more details of that deal here on the riviera in cannes. now it's going to all be about the crisis that is rapidly escalating in the euro area. the greek prime minister, george papandreou, is going to arrive here today to have an emergency meeting with president sarkozy of france and angela merkel, the german chancellor. really to explain to them why he arrived at this surprise decision to put the austerity measures and the bailout to the greek people without telling president sarkozy, without telling the german chancellor, and without even telling his own finance minister who had no idea this referendum was going to be announced. >> so the referendum will definitely be on the ballot, right? >> reporter: yeah. i mean, what he is proposing is having a vote for the greek people to decide if they approve of this bailout package effectively of more deep cuts to public services and the 130 billion euros that is being suggested to bail them out. the problem is that most opinion polls show that greek people may well vote against that. but it might not even get to a referendum put to the greek people because if he loses this no-confidence vote in parliament amongst politicians, he'll be out as the prime minister. he could be finished. there could be a snap election. his own party is already splitting. he's only got a wafer-thin majority in parliament. so this is really beginning to kind of unravel very rapidly. and he's undoing a lot of work that they thought they had nailed down as a result of that summit in brussels. why does this matter? because it imperils the whole euro project here. if greece defaults basically, it could end up having to exit the euro completely. and that may weaken the whole currency here, which could theoretically see other countries in a more perilous position. italy, for example, has a terrible set of public finances. it has enormous amounts of debt. more than 1 trillion euros of debt. and a lot of experts are saying italy could be next in line if greece is the first one to be pushed out of the euro. >> just awful. and, of course, it's a big trading partner with the united states, that will affect stocks here and eventually people's 401(k)s in the united states, so he'll be watching very closely. dan rivers, many thanks, reporting live for us from france. one of the women who accused herman cain of sexual harassment says he's been lying according to her attorney. now she wants to tell her side of the story. that's ahead in our "political ticker." ♪ ♪ ♪ [ male announcer ] the peace of mind of owning a 2011 iihs top safety pick. the all-new volkswagen passat. a 2011 iihs top safety pick. when you're a sports photographer, things can get out of control pretty quickly. so i like control in the rest of my life... especially my finances. that's why i have slate, with blueprint. i can create my own plan to pay down large purchases faster... or avoid interest on everyday items. that saves me money. with slate from chase, i'm always in control. financially, anyway. get slate with blueprint and save money. call 855-get-slate today. 16 minutes past the hour. time for your "political ticker" with tim farley. tim, we're going to talk about herman cain. he's still denying he ever sexually harassed anyone, calling it a smear campaign. cain says he remembers more about one allegation anyway. >> it started out where she was making huge claims about sexual harassment. i do recall that she was asking for a large sum of money. i don't remember what that sum of money was. but as the review of this moved forward, that sum of money negotiating with my attorney negotiating with her attorney got less and less and less because her attorney started to figure out she didn't have a valid claim. >> so the lawyer for another woman who accuses cain of sexual harassment says his client is now upset, and she wants to speak out and tell her side of the story. but, of course, she's barred by that confidentiality agreement. so listen to this conversation with cnn's anderson cooper. this is the woman's lawyer talking with anderson. let's listen. >> i have not had any direct contact with the national restaurant association. in the interviews i've given, i suggested that would be the right thing to do so that she can tell her side of the story since mr. cain is telling his side of the story. and if they -- if they agree to that, then i will confer with my client again and see what she wants to do. ultimately, it's up to her. >> okay. so tim, imagine, if you will, somehow this woman gets out of this confidentiality agreement and she comes forward and she tells her side of the story. this could get really ugly. >> it has gotten ugly already, carol. this is just another shoe waiting to drop. and from the beginning, this has been a totally mismanaged embarrassment. it's a neophyte candidate who is frankly groping for answers, if you'll pardon the expression, hasn't found any. he's done things like parse phrases, making distinctions without a difference for things like settlement and agreement. and that kind of nuance might play well in a courtroom. it does not play well in the court of public opinion. bottom line for cain as a candidate, he's a man who has grit appeal because he is not a politician. and frankly, he is sounding more and more like a politician every day. and that can't be good for him, carol. >> although cain says that he raised $400,000 on monday after the story broke. he seems to have very strong support from some conservatives. so you kind of wonder, is this thing just going to blow over and he's going to be okay in the long run? >> i can't imagine that it's that good of thing because partly he's tried to portray it as a left wing media conspiracy. he made an appearance on fox with tough questions. i'm not sure if republican lawmakers who he'll be courting on the hill today will want to get too much associated with him until they find out more details about this. there's even been sort of a playing of the race card, if you will, if you want to go back to when clarence thomas was going confirmed, the high-tech lynching of the uppity black, or the stereotype as the black man of the sexual predator. all of that is an undercurrent. i can't imagine that the support for cain, while it may still be very, very strong in some quarters, that it would be actually expanding as a result of this. you may see sort of some circling of the wagons, but i think that core is going to get smaller and smaller if this turns out to be more of an embarrassment. so far it has not played well for herman cain, in my opinion. >> tim farley, host of "morning briefing" on sirius potus radio. coming up, what did news corp. officials know about the phone-hacking scandal and when?
