50 counts of sexual acts with ten boys. he has pleaded not guilty. the escort at the center of the secret service prostitution scandal says the agents involved were, quote, idiots. talking to a colombian radio station. juarez says she could have gotten sensitive information compromising president obama's security. >> translator: of course, at that moment if i had been a member of one of those terrorist gangs, it's obvious that i would have been able to get everything just like the newspapers say, they're a bunch of fools. they're responsible for obama security and they still let this happen. i told them i'm going to call the police. so that they would pay me my money. they didn't care. they didn't see the magnitude of the problem. even when being responsible for obama security. i could have done 1,000 other things. >> suarez says her reputation is shattered. she adds that she's open to other opportunities like posing nude for magazine for the right price. in an unusual move, the beijing news appears to be backing off its criticism of blind activist chen guangcheng after negative editorials prompted read are backlash. many feel the newspaper is a mouthpiece for the local communist party branch. earlier this week chen had sought rev few in the u.s. embassy in beijing saying he had been mistreated by chinese officials for years. on friday, the u.s. and china came to an agreement that chen would apply for passport to further getis education in the u.s. five accused 9/11 terrorists go before a judge in guantanamo bay and things get real dramatic real fast. one of the defendants blurted out they're going to kill us. another claims mistreatment. and the mastermind, khalid shaikh mohammed, hasn't said a word. chris lawrence has more. describe the goings on in the courtroom. >> reporter: well, the biggest one was obviously the outbursts when he gestured and said that this may be the last time you see us. he said something to the effect of we have a moammar gadhafi here, apparently perhaps comparing one of the camp commanders to the did dead libyan leader. the judge cut him off and said you're out of turn, this is not the place or the time for that. and then he basically said they may kill us and make it look like some sort of suicide. what made this stand out more than anything was the fact that the defendants had not responded to any of the judge's questions whatsoever. in fact many times ignoring them, looking down, reading the koran. but in lighter moments when say the camera wasn't on, when the court wasn't this session during recession, it was very different the interaction between them because they were laughing, they were talking amongst each other. they even had a koeccopy of the economist magazine that they were passing back and forth. >> and now what about control of the courtroom. do the attorneys, do those asib they have trofhave control of t courtroom and the next wave forward? >> reporter: a great question. one i'll sure we'll be asking when some of the attorneys come out. this was in stark contrast to khalid shake kn khalid shaikh mohammed's previous appearance. this seems to be a group sefear to simply ignore the proceedings. one of the defense attorneys says khalid shaikh mohammed feels these hearings are unfather and they have real questions about how they're been detained. so this seems to be almost a sigh relent protest in court. >> and what potentially could be next? >> reporter: well, at some points you figure they'll get through the day, but this is just the beginning of a very long process. forary what no matter what happens today, there are sure to be many more motions. some of the victims families are in the courtroom. they're sort of partitioned off from the rest of the court. but they've been taable to see d hear everything and when the court is over, we expect some of them to come out and share some of their feelings about what they've seen today. >> chris lawrence, thanks so much. back here in the united states, president barack obama holding his first official campaign rally in columbus, ohio today. obama made the case for second erm in the white house. he also told the crowd at ohio state university that if mitt romney were elected, he would rubber stamp the republican congressional agenda. paul steinhauser was at the rally. and, paul, the president really laid out his vision today saying we want to look forward, we don't want to turn the clock back. i don't know why that's so hard for me to say. >> reporter: exactly. forward is the slogan of his re-election bid. and as you said, he used this first kickoff rally to make the case for a second term and to tout the accomplishments of the first term in office. president obama talked about how dire the situation was when he first came to office, millions of jobs that had been lost and he talked about what he's done over the last 3 1/2 years to get more jobs back and to turn the country around. he talked about foreign policy as well as some of the achievements, there osama bin laden to iraq to afghanistan. he also talked about what would map if his republican challenger you can mitt romney, were to take office. take a listen. >> this time they want even bigger tax cuts for the wealthiest americans. this time they want even deeper cuts to things like education and medicaid and research and technology. this time they want to give banks and insurance companies even more power to do as they please. and now after a long and spirited primary, republicans in congress have found a nominee for president who has promised to rubber stamp this edagenda i he gets the chance. >> reporter: the whole story line, it seems the president's strategy is to tie mitt romney to the republicans in congress and say that if he's elected, him and the republicans in congress would take us back to the policies are george w. bush that he says got the u.s. in the problems it's in right how. as for romney, he wants to make this election all about president obama, a referendum on the job president obama has done on creating jobs. one other note, the arena holds about 20,000 people. looked like it was about two-thirds to three-quarters pull. but i have to say, a lot larger than any crowd mitt romney has had so far in any of his events this campaign season. >> and what about ohio and it being such an important pivotal state for either candidate, but why the president would spend so much in the state really since even elected to office. >> reporter: such an important state. remember, back eight years ago, this was the state that put george bush over the top. the president has been to ohio including today 21 times since taking office back in january 2009. it's an important battleground state. mitt romney is coming back here monday and that will be three times over the past three weeks. take a look at this, the most recent poll in ohio from quinnipiac university, 44% for the president, 42% for romney. basically a dead heat. the president is heading for virginia, he has another rally later today in virginia. another battle grounds state. >> paul, thanks so much from columbus, ohio. so how is mitt romney's campaign reacting to the president's speech? i talked to barbara comstock who is the vo virginia state co-chair for the campaign and his message of forward isn't coming through. >> this president really had very little message, i was surprised really about how lackluster it was. he's very much back ward looking. doesn't have a message. he's blaming, trying tos distract and divide. but not really wanting to face the reality of his record. which is this huge debt, the taxes that he wants to increase on us, so i think when he's going to be in a state like virginia telling us how he wants to raise our taxes, telling us how he doesn't like our right to work laws which he attacked this it week, that is not going to be a selling point in virginia because in virginia over the past three year, we've rejected his increased debt. in the state, we're not running up the debt and raising taxes. we've been doing the opposite. we've been cutting back and making wise investments. and we've been not increasing taxes because we know in this tough economy we cannot add anymore to the burden of working families. >> but we heard from the president during that speech saying i'm not looking back, we're not moving the clock backward, but instead we're moving forward. we'll be -- >> there was no forward message. >> he said the nation would be doubling down on the debt by use of money that was dedicated to the iraq war and soon the end of the afghanistan war in 2014. he also made a promise there about making colleges, whether it's four year or community colleges more affordable for people. is that not looking forward? >> no, i don't think he was looking forward at all because he was not dealing with unemployment, you never heard him talk about high unemployment. those young kids he was talking to, 50% of them aren't getting jobs when get out of work. there's not an economy there because he's been crushing small businesses. >> barbara comstock there. so don't go to bed tonight before you look up at the sky. tonight you'll see a super moon. much bigger and brighter than this one from last year. so what makes it super? see a po. at aviva, we do things differently. our wellness for life program rewards you with savings just for getting a check-up, and it's only from aviva. omnipotent of opportunity. you know how to mix business... with business. 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. i could get used to this. [ male announcer ] yes, you could business pro. yes, you could. go national. go like a pro. with my vial and syringe. me, drawing my insulin dose. and me the day i discovered novolog flexpen. flexpen is pre-filled with your mealtime insulin. dial the exact dose, inject by pushing a button. no vials, syringes or coolers to carry. flexpen is insulin delivery my way. novolog is a fast-acting insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults and children with diabetes. do not inject if you do not plan to eat within five to ten minutes after injection to avoid low blood sugar. tell your healthcare provider about all medicines you take and all of your medical conditions, including if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. the most common side effect is low blood sugar. other possible side effects include reactions at the injection site. get medical help right away if you experience serious allergic reactions, body rash, trouble with breathing, fast heartbeat or sweating. with flexpen, vial and syringe are in the past. ask your doctor about novolog flexpen, covered by 90% of insurance plans, including medicare. you haven't seen a full moon until you look at the one tonight. it's called a super full moon. and jacqui jeras is here to explain why. >> we haven't done this in a while. >> i know. nice to see you. >> good to see you, too. so the super moon, we all marvel at a full moon. >> beautiful, right? the earth urks s, unis and moon all be lined up together and the moon will also be at its closest point near the earth about about so that that mean as full moon tonight is going to be the closest ever -- well, closest this year anyway, 14% bigger, that's how much bigger it will look in the sky, and 30% brighter compared to other full moons. so you're going to be able to see the differences here. when we say that permanent pair gnlg and ap-poe gi, ap-poe gi is when the moon is farthest way. is it a perfect circle some no, it's not. it's an elliptical pattern. so eventually it will be at the farthest point answer eventually at the closest point. so tonight at 11:30 is when the official full moon happens and 11:35 is when perigee happens. so the technical term for the super man is that the full moon is out there, it's within 90% of its closest approach. so we're like almost 100%. and that's what makes will one so cool. and by the way, who 1 s. goiis see it? west coast has the best chance with beautiful clear skies. might have trouble in the upper midwest. might have a little trouble down towards the gulf coast. and also by the way even though will all sings up at 11:30 eastern time, something to keep in mind, as the moon is is when biggest. >> it will be gorgeous. a little past my bedtime, but -- >> it will look better earlier, though. >> then i'll be there front and center. we'll talk about it more tomorrow. thanks. debt problems are front and center in europe. what can u.s. lawmakers learn from the economic crisis there? in this week's fortune brainstorm, ali velshi talks with christina romer. >> what we're seeing in europe now is it's a uniquely painful time to be trying to do austerity. we have two things here are going on. one is a lot of these countries are part of a currency union and so they don't have one of the main tools that a country usually has to try to mitigate some of the impact of the austeri austerity, which is lowering their exand i think rate. >> for fewers that have difficulty with the chicks whi f this, what is the danger here? they put -- trying to get their economic houses in order by cutting government spending, cutting public spending. and in xank, people should be more willing to lend money at more reasonable rates. >> so that is certainly how it's supposed to work. and i think that as i mentioned, there's a problem with that right now. one is that sort of they started this whole process, a lot of these countries like spain, like ireland, like greece, started this process already in a recession. so that again sort of makes it even that much more painful. and then i think there is also the part that the bond markets are also very worried about what's going on with growth. i think the important point here is you're not going to get me to say, no, you shouldn't do austerity or certainly you'll never get me to do you shouldn't do austerity eventually. what i've been pushing for is a reasonable alternative. and i think the alternative is to take all that effort, all that passion that's currently going if to immediate austerity and say use to legislate the best plan possible for getting spending down, getting tax revenues up if you need to, over time, get those legislated, but don't do the cuts immediately when the economy really can't take it. phase them in gradually, say what your time table is. tie those actual measures to when the economies are healthier and more able to withstand them. >> it is called the greatest two minutes in sports. it, of course, is the kentucky derby. and we're taking you track side where weather just might determine who win this is evening's run for the roses. for three hours a week, i'm a coach. but when i was diagnosed with prostate cancer... i needed a coach. our doctor was great, but with so many tough decisions i felt lost. unitedhealthcare offered us a specially trained rn who helped us weigh and understand all our options. for me cancer was as scary as a fastball is to some of these kids. but my coach had hit that pitch before. turning data into useful answers. we're 78,000 people looking out for 70 million americans. that's health in numbers. unitedhealthcare. all of these friends swapped their imports for a ford. the escape definitely fits my lifestyle. it is 28 miles a gallon. that's pretty awesome. park assist? no hands. i didn't think that was possible. make me want the fusion. it's pretty. it's fun to drive. and the fuel-efficiency... up to 33 miles per gallon. pretty awesome. it's the swap your ride sales event. get a fusion or escape with 0% financing for 60 months plus up to $1750 cash back. some of the best horses in the world will run in the kentucky kerr bijust over three hours from now. but the winner could, well, be determined by which horse runs best in mud. joe carter of hln sports is track side this in louisville. and it's louisville, right, is the right way to pronounce it there. some of the horses parading around now. how does the track look, in the horse's favor? >> reporter: i think so, yeah. earlier this morning, overnight it rained about about an inch, was really muddy and sloppy. but skies have cleared, the sun has come out, it's now hot and humid and the track is how what's considered a fast track. it's dry and ready to go. so certainly favors the horses especially some of the fast horses. as we stand, the favorite to win the kentucky derby is union rags. union rags trainer is mike at matz. you may remember that name. he was the trainer to barbero, he won the kentucky derby back in 2006, captured the hearts of many. and then you also have bodemeister. his trainer just a few weeks ago suffered a heart attack at a race in you today bye. he's won three kentucky betterdyes and trying to win his first. so do want to save you a little money for those looking for bet on my suggestions. the favorite doesn't win very often. 52 times in 137 races has the favorite won. so that the point, union rags the tafrt. not smart money to put on union rags. but other names being throw thrown out, hanson, it's beautiful, white, almost looks like a unicorn. creative cause, alpha as well as geem ol xw gemologists. definitely a buzz around the track. so things look good. about 165,000 people here for today's race. >> that's dragreat. it's sunny and the min mint jul flowing, as well. >> oh, yes. so a lot of smiles. >> and i love the hats, too. oh, my goodness. it really is a show. >> reporter: you know, what the hats are almost as much of a tradition as the race itself. the hats are -- whether they're on a woman's head or man's head, thir see fashionable. they say a woman goes through picking her hat first and then builds the outfit after that and they can be anywhere from $500 to $10,000 for a hat. so we've seen all kinds of creative hats. >> that is incredible. >> reporter: i learned a lot about hats in the lasts 24 hours. >> the pressure is so, so next time when in louisville or at the kentucky derby, you have to pull out quite the rim there. joe carter, thanks so much. and so you know who i'm probably talking about, the super humans who have to save the world from total deconstruction in the avengers, of course. hitting the theaters this weekend. but does it live up to the hype? whether you're in the mood for something light hearted, comedy, or intense action, there's a movie out there for you this weekend. our movie critic is here on give us her grades for avengers. good to see you. i like the color. >> thank you. it's spring. >> i like it. okay.avengers. the marvel comic book series. but what's the actual movie about? >> will is literally six times the super hero movie that we've ever seen before. nick pufury, my favorite land pirate, has decided that it's a good idea to assemble a bunch of extraordinary human beings that can help save the planet if we need it, right? wel well, thor's younger brother gives us a need to be safe. and when nick fury finally gets the avengers together, they realize that working together is probably a little harder than they thought. >> so let's take a look. >> ready for on the bout? >> are you getting sleepy? >> okay. so you mentioned samuel jackson, scarlett johansson is in it, as well, robert downey jr. did you give it a good grade, do you like it? >> basically i'll give it my pin number so she can empty my bank account. that's how many times i'm going to see this movie. >> oh, my goodness. >> just take it all. because this movie is so good. now, in that clip, you saw a little example of the enormous amounts of action. but what's so great in this film is the characters relate to one another with great dialogue that's super funny, as well. it actually is so good it makes me furious at hollywood because we've gone so long without having that stuff in an action picture. ot
