united nations human rights officials are in an emergency meeting today. they are talking about last week's horrific massacre in syria. top u.n. human rights officials are urging the world community to throw more weight behind efforts to investigate what actually happened. 108 people died when witnesses say an armed man went door to door killing entire families, including children. ugly day on wall street today. one big reason, disappointing jobs report for may. the labor department says that employers added just 69,000 jobs. the unemployment rate ticked up to 8.2%. alison kosik is watching what's taking place at the new york stock exchange. how is this jobs number here, this report today, dragging down the markets? clearly they're responding. >> yes, yes. well, i talked to several traders and they told me they are stunned over this lousy jobs number that you said, the 69,000 number from may. so it's really no surprise that you're seeing a huge sell-off right now. the dow falling 227 points. at the point where we're at at 12,165, the dow has erased all the gains for the year because this jobs number came in as a huge disappointment. one analyst telling me, it's not just that the u.s. is slowing down, it's pulling up the emergency brake at this point. here is the big issue here. this anemic job growth we got for may, it's not just a blip. it seems to be a trend because you look at march, you look at april. those job numbers, those job additions were actually revised lower. good bit of a bright spot here. the unemployment rate ticked higher to 8.2% but it's not all bad because it shows more people got back into the labor market to try to find a job, but the problem here is that more people in the labor force are seemingly chasing fewer jobs out there. >> all right. alison, thank you. jobs, the economy, the crucial issues in the presidential election. some republicans jumping all over the comment that was made by former president bill clinton. so i want to bring in chief national correspondent john king to talk about it. john, first of all, let's just take a listen to what clinton said on cnn about mitt romney's business career. >> a man who has been governor and had a sterling business career crosses the qualification threshold, but they had dramatically different proposals, and it's my. anyway that the obama proposals and the obama record would be far better for the american economy and most americans than those that governor romney has laid out. >> so, john, he talks about this sterling record that he has as his business career. clearly the obama administration and certainly when president clinton and obama will campaign on monday together in new york, they'll probably talk about this, but how important was that in terms of messaging? what does he need to say to make people understand just where the economy is going and what president obama has done? >> i think you were seeing there, suzanne, the true dna of bill clinton. there are a couple things there. number one, he says mitt romney is clearly qualified over the threshold. his record as governor, his sterling business career. that's not what the obama administration is saying. that's not what the president is saying. they're saying this is a guy who at bain company tal didn't care if workers got laid off, didn't care if companies got shut down, he just wanted to make a profit. you would not use the term sterling if you thought the same thing as the president of the united states. president clinton has a different view of mitt romney the businessman than president obama. that's part of his dab. he said after walter mondale lost 49 states, the democratic party was too much about taxes, too much about spending, too much about saying business was part of the problem. bill clinton said the democrats had to change and make business and creating jobs and entrepreneurship, things like bain capital, part of the solution. there is a divide here between the former president ant the current president about how to embrace business, but bill clinton also made clear, suzanne, he thinks president obama's proposals are better. he wants president obama to win. i have covered bill clinton for a long time. he's the don't stop thinking about tomorrow president. that was his slogan. he thinks it's a mistake for any politician to look in the rear-view mirror and debate somebody's past. he wants these two candidates to talk about the future. you heard him say that. he thinks if the president is talking about jobs, medicare, and the economy, obama has a better plan. that was a nudge of friendly advice you might say. >> and knowing clinton i certainly think he's probably not going to change his message even if the two of them do talk about this on monday. he's going to say what he wants to say. >> he just said in wisconsin being former president means you get to say what you want. >> he certainly does. let's talk about the jobs report because obviously republicans are seizing on this. they got five more of these before people decide who the next president is going to be. that's not a lot of time for the obama administration to put out a message here. tell us how it plays out in the swing states, those 6 to 12 states that are going to determine who becomes the next president. >> you just made a critical point, not a lot of time. you're looking at the tossup states, new hampshire, virginia, florida, colorado, florida. in two of those states the unemployment rate is up since president obama took office. in the others the unemployment rate is actually down a little bit. not down dramatically, but down a little bit. so in those swing states maybe people aren't feeling the pain that they might be feeling in other states. that could benefit the president a little bit. but, suzanne, there is no question, this is a huge warning sign to the obama white house because it's not just may, as alison kosik just noted, they revised downward the job numbers for march and april. if union, july, and august are not better than march, april, and may a lot of republicans think you will be saying the term president romney come january. for all the other things we will debate in this campaign, for all we can talk about bain capital, record in massachusetts, you're an incumbent president in a bad economy. ask george h.w. bush, it's likely you will lose. >> and it is his responsibility. he inherited a bad economy but people are looking to him for his solutions. >> he inherited a mess, but life and politics are no the fair. the buck stops here. that's why they say it. >> thank you, john. it is the first criminal case against a high ranking catholic church leader involving sexual abuse. philadelphia monseigneur william lynn could be facing a long prison term if found guilty. he is accused of covering up allegations of molestation and rape by press of transferring them to other parishes. the reverend james brennan is accused of attempted rape. it's been a 10-week trial. sarah, this is a historic case we are watching. tell our viewers why. >> reporter: well, this is a landmark case because not only are you going after let's say a individual priest accused of sexual abuse. you are actually going after the establishment. this is the first time u.s. prosecutors have ever charged a high-ranking cleric with endangering children. so you're going after the individual and the establishment. >> and we have seen civil action that's been taken, but this is first time i understand that this is a criminal prosecution. >> reporter: absolutely. this is a criminal case with a criminal hearing. so at the end of this, once the jury has deliberated, both of these defendants could be facing, like you said, some serious jail time. monseigneur lynn, who is that high-ranking official, could be facing anywhere from 10 1/2 to 21 years in jail. and father brennan, he's looking at 13 1/2 to 27 years. so this is a serious case with serious ramifications. >> and, save raf, i knsarah, i there's a gag order. tell us what you're hearing. what do you think is going to happen? >> reporter: so what we're hearing, whether they are victim advocacy groups as well as attorneys who are watching this, is really that this case is going to be precedent setting. you will be looking at things in terms of statute of limitations, how this case will translate into how people are charged with sexual abuse, how this is also looked at of how we look at people who are victims of sexual abuse. so this just isn't one case in one city. this is going to have a ripple effect across the entire u.s. as well as globally because the catholic church just isn't here in philadelphia. it's not just here in the u.s. it's a global institution. and the fact that this is dove tailing right into the sandusky case at penn state, you're also going to be looking at how institutions look at sexual abuse. so this thing has the potential to have many, many tentacles, many, many legs, and outcomes to last for quite some time. >> there's an interesting detail here because the district attorney, seth williams, he's prosecuting the case against these high church officials. he, himself, the d.a., he is catholic. is there anybody who is talking about that? >> reporter: he himself talks about that. he's very open with the fact that he is catholic and that that will not stop him from going after what he sees as an injustice. he's very interested in this, and, in fact, he turned up at court yesterday during the closing arguments by the prosecution. so he sat in the entire afternoon session. so he was there. he's in front of this thing, and he has lots to say about it. once that gag order is lifted, i'm sure we'll be hearing quite a bit from the district attorney himself. >> all right. sarah hoye, thank you. excellent reporting as always. here is what we're working on for this hour. hard times at home and abroad as europe deals with its own jobs crisis. and on trial for his life. what's in store for egypt's fallen dictator. and he says he sinned. >> i did an awful, awful lot that was wrong. >> but is america ready to forgive john edwards?

>> because the recession never really ended. there was never the stimulus. there was never the growth that you have experienced in the united states. and no sooner was the great recession over than the sovereign debt crisis bit. austerity became the order of the day in case the bond market went on the attack, and before you know where you were, governments were cutting back, private industry was cutting back, consumers were cutting back. you know, i want to put this into perspective for you. you talk about the 11% eurozone unemployment. it's about 10.5% for the eu. put that into context with the united states. there are only three states in the u.s. that are equal or worse than the eurozone. the other 47 are much better. the three worst states that are equal or worse, california, rhode island, or nevada with unemployment rates of a 10% to 11%, 11.5%. every other state in the united states is better than the eu average. >> so, richard, when you listen to these numbers, it's disappointing here on this side. folks are following this. does that create more unease in europe when they realize things are not so great across the pond? >> i'm going to give you an even more frightening statistic to compare. the youth unemployment in the united states temen at the mome they have the u.s. numbers as part of this so we can compare and contrast. you know the old saying, compare and despair. the u.s. is 16.4% youth unemployment. the european union overall, 22.4% with some countries like spain at 50% youth unemployment. so if you want to know where the disgrace is at the moment, it is in the unemployment situation within the european union and the eurozone. >> one of the good things we've been talking about, richard, i guess it's the silver lining, if you will, is there's a lot more people who have re-entered the market here on this side. some 640,000 people decided, okay, we're going to start looking for work again. is the same thing happening in europe or are folks just basically giving up? >> you've got a huge disparity, huge. unemployment in austria is just 4%. the luxembourg, the leat nether. you advertise for a job and you can't find people. here is the nirchdifference, in u.s. you can get off your backside, go from one state to another, the language are the same, the laws are the same. there's a lot of similarities. we don't enjoy that flexibility. in times we will but you can't up sticks from spain and go to germany even if you're legally entitled to because if you don't speak german, you don't stand a chance. that's the lack of flexibility that is making unemployment an entrenched problem within large parts, greece, italy, spain, those sort of countries, ireland even, of the eurozone. >> do you have any good news on your end of the deal here? i mean, we are seeing at least some optimism of people looking for work. is there anything in your unemployment when you pull back the layers and you go, okay, well, there is something that's working now or not really? >> no, nope. and the reason is because as long as the spanish crisis seems to be getting worse, and they've had six months to sort this out and really, you know, it's classic. you have a ticking time bomb in the corner. and everybody knows there's a ticking time bomb over there, we better do something about it, and it ticks, and that's what's happened. let's not have any, you know, being clever after the event. we have known that the spanish banks were going to wait to explode in the corner, and now i'm afraid the countdown is getting quite close, and people are seriously worried about the contagion. so you asked me is there any cause for immediate optimism on this side of the atlantic economically. plenty of other optimism, but economically the answer has to be no. >> not good news. richard, good to see you as always, even if not good news. hosni mubarak is on trial for his life and the verdict could be just hours away. i've always looked up to my brother. he doesn't look like a heart attack patient. i was teaching a martial arts class and it hit me. we get to the emergency room... and then...and then they just wheeled him away. i had to come to that realization that "wow, i am having a heart attack." i can't punch this away. i'm on a bayer aspirin regimen.

[ male announcer ] learn how to protect your heart at i am proheart on facebook. president obama is speaking in golden valley, minnesota, talking about the jobs numbers and a to-do list he's pushing congress to accomplish. let's listen in. >> all that's happening because of you. everybody here plays by the rules. you work hard, you meet your responsibilities. and you deserve leaders who do the same. leaders who will stand shoulder to shoulder with you and do everything possible to strengthen the middle class and move this economy forward. that's what you deserve. [ applause ] but we can't fully control everything that happens in other parts of the world. disturbances in the middle east, what's going on in europe, but there are plenty of things we can control here at home. there are plenty of steps we can take right now to help create jobs and grow this economy. let me give you a couple examples. i sent congress a jobs bill last september full of the kinds of bipartisan ideas that would have put our fellow americans back to work and help reinforce our economy sense some of these outshocks. i sent them a plan that would have reduced the deficit by $4 trillion in a way that's balanced, that pays for the job-creating investments we need by cutting unnecessary spending, but also by asking the wealthiest americans to pay a little more in tacxes. [ cheers and applause ] and i'll give them a little bit of credit. congress has passed a few parts of that jobs bill, like a tax cut that's allowing working americans to keep more of your paychecks every week. that was important. i appreciated it. but congress has not acted on enough of the other ideas in that bill that would help make a difference and help create jobs right now. and there's no excuse for it. not when there are so many people out there still looking for work. not when there are still folks out there struggling to pay their bills. it's not lost on anybody that it's an election year. i understand that. i have noticed. [ laughter ] >> four more years! [ cheers and applause ] >> but we've got responsibilities that are bigger than an election. [ cheers and applause ] we've got responsibilities to you. so my message to congress is, now is not the time to play politics. now is not the time to sit on your hands. the american people expect their leaders to work hard no matter what year it is. the economy still isn't where it needs to be. there are steps that could make a difference right now, steps that can also serve as a buffer in case the situation in europe gets any worse. so right now congress should pass a bill to help states prevent more layoffs so we can put thousands of teachers and firefighters and police officers back on the job. [ cheers and applause ] now, layoffs at the state and local levels have been a chronic problem for our recovery, but it's a problem we can fix. congress should have passed a bill a long time ago to put thousands of construction workers back on the job rebuilding our roads and our bridges and our runways. [ cheers and applause ] now, since the housing bubble burst, no sector has been hit harder than the construction industry, and we've got all this stuff that needs fixing. remember that bridge here in minnesota? so this is a problem we can fix. let's do it right away. instead of just talking about job creators, congress should give small business owners a tax break for hiring more workers and paying them higher wages. we can get that done. [ cheers and applause ] we can get it done right now. let's not wait. right now congress should give every responsible homeowner the opportunity to save an average of $3,000 a year by refinancing their mortgage. we've got a historically low rate right now. [ cheers and applause ] i was with a family in reno, nevada, a couple weeks ago, they got a chance to refinance even though their home was underwater, put that money back in their pockets because we had taken some steps as an administration to make that available for those who have mortgages held by government agencies like the fha or government guarantee, but not everybody has those kinds of mortgages. i want everybody to have th
