>> there you go >> so obviously, brooke, a different posture from herman cain, he's been known throughout this campaign as somebody who is sort of laid back and has an easy going style out on the campaign trail. that was very different today. he had security guards pushing reporters out of the way, he was refusing to answer questions all of this. the main question that was being asked of him, brooke, to put it very quickly is whether or not he would call on the national restaurant association to release from these nondisclosure agreements, these confidentiality agreements, these these two accusers allegedly signed back in the late 1990s, keep the stories quiet in exchange for payment settlements and so you know that is the big question at this point for the cain campaign, one they have not answereded yet and still waiting to see if it develops. >> sounds to me like it most definitely could sounds like the national restaurant association and also the attorney of one of the accusers in contacts, we will hear more certainly tomorrow. jim acosta, thank you so much for the news out of washington. let's roll into the second hour. take a look at this. all right, welcome back, hour two i'm brooke baldwin. here we go. markets apparently like what ben bernanke had to say moments ago. new flare ups involving occupy wall street a disturbing new revelation about gun us in airport luggage. a russian arms dealer learns his fate today and an american flight attendant found dead in mexico. time to play reporter roulette times five on this wednesday. alison kosik at the stock exchange, looks like the market like what is it heard from fed chief ben bernanke. >> you are right about that, but the rally began before bernanke started talking this is a bounce back from the past two days. the past two days, the dow fell 600 points between monday and tuesday. that is why we see the dow up 162 points. as far as the fed goes, you know what, it really didn't go outside the box today no big surprises, it kept the key interest rate near zero, although what it did didn't dial back the overall projection how much the u.s. economy is going to grow, but that's what's key here, the fed thinks the economy is going to grow but a much smaller pace forecast this year, but not the best news but not surprising either, nothing that really surprised the market. >> i know that when bernanke was speaking a second ago, he was asked questions, he was asked specifically about europe about greece are what did he say and how could that affect, you know, our own economic recovery? >> and you're right about that the federal chief did address europe, he said we are feeling eat expects of europe's downturn and its debt problems, bernanke saying we are seeing the effects, really mostly in the market volatility it that is happening. listen to what he had to say. >> do we have it? >> what he said concerns about -- having problem getting that bite, concerns about the european banking and fiscal issues, they have added to the strains in the global market and they have likely had adverse effects on commerce and growth here in the u.s. so, yeah, i mean, you see how things sort of have a ripple affect because there is a big fear here about how much will europe slow down u.s. companies, companies here and u.s. economic growth? of course, brooke, this would come at a time we don't have a lot of wiggle room here in the u.s. the federal chief cut our own economic forecast and doesn't see unemployment colling down any time soon. brooke? >> thank you so much. next, oakland, california we find dan simon covering the occupy wall street movement there clearly, dan, re-energized, the last week, images, police very aggressive against demonstrators. today the aim is shutting down the city is that right? >> we are here at to oakland city hall, a very large crowd, peace solve far, taken on a bit of the party atmosphere, these tent a thursday seeing right here, swept away about a week ago now, they have reappeared, constituent reversed itself, said the pro-ders stay. one thing that's pretty interesting is they have told people if you are a parent, you can come down here and bring your children. you can see there is a bit of a play area set up for parents to spend time with their children but come to become me for a second because the message of what this day is really encap tull lated with sign. foreclose the 1%. okay pit banks. we demand an end to racist profiteering off foreclosure, immigrant detention and dirty energy that fuels wars. we demand that banks be put in their place. that is the message that they are going after today. they want picketers to go in front of the banks in oakland and people to take date off of work and look likes many have done so >> targeting the banks and bringing the kids along. dan simon. thank you. next, reporter roulette, athena washington, lawmakers are grilling the tsa about dangerous weapons found in passenger luggage. the tsa is finding four to five guns in carry-on bags every day. what is going on?

thank you, athena jones in washington. next, richard roth in new york, where an alleged russian arms dealer accused of trying to kill u.s. nationals learns his fate richard, what is the latest? >> victor book, russian national, lons longment issed being the merchant of death and selling arms to people who would foment death around the the world. convicted on four counts, all four he faced, he does now face life imprisonment on some of these counts. boot's lawyer, albert diane, telling reporters afterwards that he will appeal that boot is disappointeded answered feels base on the evidence, there wasn't enough for a jury to convict boot. the prosecution said boot was ready, willing and able to sell the weapons, convicted of charges of conspireing to kill americans because he was arrested in a bangkok hotel room after trying to sell undercover u.s. dea agents posing as guerrillas from the farc group in colombia. the defense says he was trying to sell two airplanes and the jury misunderstood, in effect what his intent was. that is the latest on viktor bout, played in a movie by nicolas cage in 2005. >> viktor bout, thank you very much. thank you very much. at the top of this hour, an arrest in the killing of a u.s. airways flight aten dent in mexico. police picked up 28-year-old jose manuel ramirez perez are, an ex-con known as the shad develop ramirez was at a bar across the street from the hilton hotel where the body of nicholas aaronson was found. prosecutor says this surveillance video led to this arrest. the video shows ramirez entering the hotel with aaronson. his fingerprints were found inside their -- aaronson's hotel room. the 27-year-old flight attendant was robbed, wasn't and strangled. his mother says they are bringing his body home. >> we are devastated, totally, all of us. my oldest son, jason, flying down to mexico city to bring him moment >> okay, nick valencia, let me bring you into this, to our national desk editor, take me back, remind me, when did had this happen and what exactly happened?

>> he told prosecutors and told the media that it was a revenge attack, that he killed nick aaronson, didn't kill, he denied the killing, attacked nick aaronson because he, aaronson, slept with one of his friend, raped one of his friends and passed on a disease. he maintains his innocence saying it was a 15-year-old from phoenix, arizona, responsible and cull panel for this crime. >> why is he known as the shadow? >> something we talk to the mexican attorney general's office earlier today, they didn't divulge that information but what they did say is that rape accusation from thement is is now part of their investigation. the thing about mexico, this is an official statistic, 90% of the crime goes unsolved, no sentencing. what happens next for ramirez perez is most likely he will face a judge in about a year and stay in jail until then. >> wow. nick valencia, thank you. >> thank you. >> and that is your reporter roulette for us today. still to come, america falling behind, big time, when it comes to teaching our own children. but there are two countries where education is working. up next of my favorite interviews, smartest guys i get to talk to on tv this man, fareed zakaria, he is standing by live, tell you how bad it is and how far we are from restoring the american dream. plus i'm going to ask him, a little heads up for you fareed, which teacher inspired you the most? think on that we will be right back. [ sniffs ] i have a cold. [ sniffs ] i took dayquil but my nose is still runny. [ male announcer ] truth is, dayquil doesn't treat that. really? [ male announcer ] alka-seltzer plus fights your worst cold symptoms, plus it relieves your runny nose. [ deep breath] awesome. [ male announcer ] yes, it is. that's the cold truth! aspercreme breaks the grip, with maximum-strength medicine and no embarrassing odor. break the grip of pain with aspercreme. we, on this had show, always welcome the chance to welcome fareed zack kara, host of fareed zakaria "gps" this week, all about education. you were coming on to see what you were talking about what you are blogging about. here is what we learned, as a nation, we, the united states, now rank number 15 in reading education. we are 23rd when it comes to math. as far as science goes, worse at 31st. why are we so far behind? >> it is actually very simple, brooke. we slacked off. about a generation ago 25 years ago, the highest rate notice world, did well on the tests, our public education system was the en.very of the world. steve jobs is a kid from working class family he ended up getting a great public school education, enough so that he was fluent in technology, you know, well-versed in liberal arts. what happened? the whole system began to atrophy, stagnate and the rest of the world wasn't sitting still. they started moving ahead, focussing on math and science and while we were having degrees, pro-live rating in leisure studies and sports exercise, the rest of the world, particularly the rich countries, started focusing on math and science. that's why we are where we are. >> we have some slackers in our midst if i'm hager correctly. who is not slacking two nations you point out, you have finland and you have south korea found two very different ways of educating students, both successful. walk me through what they are doing right. >> fascinating, brooke. the south koreans are the anti-slackers. the south koreans have had to put in places through stop students from studying so hard. this is a huge problem. they have night vans, policemen going in night vans to shutdown late-night cram stool schools that teach students until midnight and 1:00. the average south korean kid goes to school two years longer than an american kid by the time 1es 8 because they have 30 days every school year, their school day is longer, you can imagine, if they spend two years more in school, it is no wonder they are doing better at tests. finland is completely the opposite. they don't have a lot of tests, very creative but they have incredibly good teacher, recruit from the top 10% of college classes, pay their teachers like doctors and lawyers, respect them like that, two different model, i say we need to do both. >> two different models, does it couple down to teachers, fareed? >> it really does. bill gates spent $5 billion trying to reform education. said if you had a magic wand and you were running a school what is the one thing you would do? he said hire great teachers, more than classroom size, more than money spent, more than technology, the single thing that seems to have an impact on students is having a great teacher. so, fareed zakaria, talk about your education, people want to know, you have to have a teacher who so inspired you, who was he or she and why? >> i had a great english teacher in eighth and ninth grade, mrs. isaacs. she i think english is one of those subjects that can be magical or really dreary and boring, and she was able town lochte magic of shakespeare and poetry and make you understand why this was fascinating and interesting, make you want to write better. you know it is very hard to explain what it is she did. i think it's just inspiration at some level a lot of personal attention. gates says this to me in the special, you know it when you see it, it is very difficult to explain all the different things that they do they keep the student engaged, they are interactive, but most of it i think, is making it seem fun. that's the thing that american education at its best really does is make -- make learning funerary than seem like a chore, like something you have to do just 'cause you have to take this big test. >> my favorite was english teacher as well, 11th grade, mr. hyde, love songs of prufrock and ts schlt es elliott important. >> we have something in come.month. >> and we are both on cnn. two things i guess. talk tomorrow for another conversation. catch fareed's special sunday night, 8:00 eastern, "restoring the american dream, fixing education," do not miss this. still ahead, somebody's got to die what a militia member allegedly said about targeting a big city with poison and bombs. and this wasn't al qaeda. this was home-grown terror. plus this -- >> don't even bother asking me all of these other questions that you-all are curious about okay? don't even bother. excuse me. excuse me. >> herman cain getting a little testy with reporters today, defending himself against sexual harassment accusations. as he does, his poll numbers keep rising. also, big business versus the people. business blinked first after outrage over fees and prices, this affects your wallet. plus, another young soldier behind bars, suspected of espionage and spilling secret. tell you why this story is different than the wikileaks case involving bradley manning. a lot coming up. stay there. insting in communitis across the country, from helping to revitalize a neighborhood in brooklyn to financing industries that are creating jobs in boston or providing funding for the expansion of a local business serving a diverse seattle community and supporting training programs for tomorrow's workforce in los angeles. because the more we can do in local neighborhoods and communities, the more we can help make opportunity possible. you know what else is early?

>> starting today, this is what guests will find on their room -- on the tv at several u.s. hotel chains. this is a matter of going where the eyes are to help in the terrorism fight. research shows hotel guests watch their tvs at least three hours a day. and here we go again, i sound like a broken record, lindsay lohan is headed back to jail a judge hayes is violated her probation, this she failed to comply with a community service sentence in may. she was sentenced to 30 days in jail. the sheriff's office says she is going to serve 20% of that sentence. that equates to six days. she also has to finish out her probation at the city mourg and the judge also suggested to lindsay lohan, stop tweeting about your experience at the mourg. no more tweeting. in wisconsin, a massive pot bust, a ton of pot from a massive marijuana operation, worth $700 million. >> we have arrested people one pound, five pounds, ten pounds, we are not even close to dealing with that. >> police are holding a man they believe may be behind all of this on 15ds million bond. scary moments in pompano beach, florida a single engine plane crashed into an intersection, ripped in two here. amazingly, the student pilot and instrungter not hurt. see the white stuff there around the plane?

don't even bother. excuse me. excuse me. >> the republican avoiding reporters as they are trying to ask about the sexual harassment allegations against him. it comes as we get word today one of his accusers may soon come forward. that's next. two of the most important are energy security and economic growth. north america actually has one of the largest oil reserves in the world. a large part of that is oil sands. this resource has the ability to create hundreds of thousands of jobs. at our kearl project in canada, we'll be able to produce these oil sands with the same emissions as many other oils and that's a huge breakthrough. that's good for our country's energy security and our economy. >> the republican avoiding [ male announcer ] attention medicare beneficiaries. the annual enrollment period to switc
