how are you feeling besides wiped out there, richard? >> reporter: i think the next thing i'll be having is a prescription for some form of antibiotics. no, it's been amazing. look, the rain is still pouring, my suit is drenched. but we have seen over four days a carefully choreographed, constructed routine from the spectacle of the river to the ceremony of today, right through the way to the balcony at the end and the fly-past by the world war ii planes. if that isn't really showing with 1.5 million people standing outside your front doorstep, if that isn't showing an element of appreciation, i don't know what is, kyra. >> i'm just curious, can you mix antibiotics with pims? >> reporter: the pims are over there. and i assure you there's plenty of them. i think what we have -- there were an enormous numbers of levels you could have taken over the last few days. at its most basic, a tourist attraction for people to come to london ahead of the olympics. go up a notch and you can take it as being gratitude for 60 years of service by one woman. and go up to the top notch and you really come to something that's very british. the monarchy, which is in the very backbone of this country, an appreciation of the stability and the way in which it interacts with the people of this country. and i'm aware i'm talking to you in a republic and a monarchy is not for everybody. but the uk has had a monarchy for 1,000 years. and the queen is that unbroken lineage from then to now. >> and it was quite a moment -- quite an amazing moment in history indeed. i know it was special for you. richard quest, thank you so much. here's an angle to the jubilee that you may not have heard about. taking an official part in all this pageantry is a man from harlem. lance corporal denton jong went across the pond as a member of the cavalry which escorted the royal family on today's carriage procession through london. what's the catch? he's a dual citizen. so he's able to serve in the british army. >> what they always think about is it's an operational unit foremost. we are soldiers first. so ceremonial is the second. >> this isn't the first time at an event like this for corporal john. he also took part in last year's royal wedding. noticeably absent, the queen's mate, prince philip, who's spending his first full day hospitalized with a bladder infection. it was a pretty cold and wet weekend. and doctors say that definitely played a part. he's also turning 91 this weekend. so at the royal concert, prince charles gave a shoutout to his dad. >> dearly sadly about this evening is that my father couldn't be here with us because unfortunately he has taken unwell. but if we shout loud enough, he might just hear us in hospital. >> wow. cnn's dan rivers joining us from outside that hospital, edward vii hospital with the latest. if you didn't hear it, he definitely felt the good energy being sent his way, dan. >> reporter: we couldn't hear the cheering. we could definitely hear the fireworks and see the glow of them here last night. and i'm sure prince philip, the duke of edinburgh, would have been watching some of the coverage on television from his hospital bed behind me. he's just turned in some visitors in the last hour or so, prince edward, the earl of wessex, his wife and daughter went in for half an hour and they came out and prince edward said, he's getting better, he just needs more rest. he's in good spirits, on good form. they looked very relaxed and reassured by all accounts. so i don't think that would give the impression that there's much to worry about here. really just letting, i would guess, the antibiotics that he's probably being given take their course. i'm sure he'll be discharged within the next few days. >> we'll check in with you and follow the progress. dan, thanks so much. you may not know that the duke was pretty good at playing polo all the way to the age of 50. he also gave up smoking before he married the queen back in 1947. as we mentioned, prince philip turns 91 on sunday. here in the u.s., a bitter and bruising election, an angry electorate, historic amounts of money. you don't even have to wait for the big showdown in november because it's happening today as we speak in wisconsin. democrats succeeded in forcing a recall election for republican governor scott walker. but voting him out is another story. no less than bill clinton has come to campaign for walker's opponent who happens to be the same guy walker defeated in 2010. tom barrett is the mayor of milwaukee and apparently still the underdog. a late poll from marquette university shows him seven points behind the incumbent. tennessee's ted rowlands watching the voting from madison. remind us how this unscheduled election in a small state because such a national bellwether? >> reporter: well, because of the implications nationally and basically just follow the money, $60 million poured into this state, the bulk of that coming from out of state. it's either coming from folks trying to destabilize unions or folks that are trying to be pro-unions. and that's basically the crux of this. walker came in, it was a year ago february, with this budget reform bill that slashed union rights for public employee unions and this is the end result. you mentioned the poll numbers. walker up by 7% in a fairly recent poll. it has gone down a little bit in terms of the latest polling. but he does have a lead coming into today. tom barrett, milwaukee mayor s going up against him. talked about how he thinks he might be able to overcome that differential today at the voting booth. >> we have just seen over the past week, it's the largest ground game we've ever seen in the state of wisconsin. literally hundreds of thousands of volunteers were out on the doors. i think what we're going to see is a huge voter turnout here in wisconsin today. so a lot of the projections are based on 2010 elections where there was a very low voter turnout. but we are very, very confident today that there are going to be hundreds of thousands of additional voters and that's what buoys our confidence so much. >> reporter: and it's an absolutely gorgeous day weatherwise here in wisconsin. so we are expecting very high voter turnout today on both sides. both candidates are out trying to push the vote today. >> you heard barrett there, how much the dems want it to be just like it was when we saw that support for president obama in 2008. republicans say also a victory for them would give them the big play come november. >> reporter: yeah. and give a big play in terms of replicating what's happened in wisconsin in other states down the line. they look at this as a template. if they can destabilize unions, they believe that it saves money. it also politically is huge for them because, of course, unions funnel money into typically democratic candidates. it's a twofold win for republican ifs they can do what they're doing in wisconsin in other states, that's the goal. people aren't putting money into wisconsin because they want to improve the lives of wisconsinites. it's all based on that union yes or no question. that's why it's so dicive in this stachlt people are either for walker or against. >> ted, thanks so much. dana bash has been following the dollars in this election. she'll be up live from milwaukee at half past the hour. persona non-grata in syria. in some cases, the enjoys were long gone but it's a further show of syrian isolation as government militias wage war on their own people. survivors in the town where more than 100 civilians were massacred last week say the government is cutting off supplies of food, electricity and medicine. >> of all the times i've been live in iraq, what went through your mind?

>> we actually spoke with one of the city council members who is being recalled, pat mckinley. and he used to be the police chief. and he actually owned up to the fact in an interview with randi kaye that he had hired these cops when he was active in the force before coming councilman and before becoming involved in this controversial death. let's listen to part of that interview. >> do you know any of the officers involved? >> oh, i'm certain i do. i probably hired them all. >> you hired them all, you think? >> probably. i had 16 years -- >> the officers you hired might have been involved in this, appear to have been involved in this? >> well, i'm going to guess now. i'm going to guess there may be two there are deeply involved. >> casey, i understand you actually talked with mckinley recently. how's he responding to all this? >> reporter: that's right. i just spoke with him at length yesterday. he talked about hiring one of those officers in particular, who is being charged right now with manslaughter in the death of kelly thomas. he said that that officer went through a very detailed vetting process, including interviews with two different psychiatrists because he had suffered an on-duty injury as a member of the lapd several years earlier. he lost the sight in one of his eyes. he went through a battery of psychiatric tests, went through a two-year probationary period. said there were no red flag that is came up in the hiring of that particular officer or any of the other officers involved in this beating. but mckinley does say that he would do one thing different -- >> if we would have let our feelings be known that we were appalled by all this, just like anyone else, we're very appalled by it, perhaps it would have at least quelled it a bit. but i think it would have went forward anyway. there's so much money behind it, so incredible much money. >> reporter: now, mckinley says one of the reasons or the main reason that he and other members of the city council were silent in the days after the kelly thomas beating is because they had legal advice not to say anything, not to prejudice the investigation or the trial that's ongoing. kyra? >> so what are the implications here, casey? >> reporter: depends on who you talk to. one of the leaders or the leader of the recall, we spoke with him yesterday. he's a local businessman. he has given $200,000 of his own money to finance this recall effort. here's why he says it's important to do that. >> somebody has to do this. somebody needs to step up to the plate and when there's something that happens in the community that's wrong, if you have the money and if you have the time, you need to stop what you're doing and focus on getting your community back on track. >> reporter: now, mckinley and the other city council members who are up for recall, they say they expect that perhaps this recall will be successful. they say what this is really about is a power grab by tony bushala, a local businessman, a local developer who wants his own slate of candidates on the city council to further his business interests. he saez that's absolutely not the case, this is all about changing the old guard in the city of fullerton. we're just going to have to wait and see how this election turns out. definitely going to be a big change if this recall is successful. kyra? >> sure is. we'll stay on the story. casey, thank you so much. we'll bring you the results of the recall elections as soon as they come in. last month, a judge ordered these two fullerton cops, officer manuel ramos and corporal jay cicinelli to stand trial. d you a room. at hotels.com, you'll always find the perfect hotel. because we only do hotels. wow. i like that. nice! no. laugh...awe hmm nice huh ooh, yeah book it! oh boy call me... this summer, we're finding you the perfect place - plus giving you up to $100 at hotels.com imagine finding 12 people in central pennsylvania who don't have strong opinions on jerry sandusky. that's the former penn state assistant football coach who's charged with 52 counts of child sex abuse. seating an impartial jury is the challenge under way for prosecutors and sandusky's lawyers. cnn contributor sarah ganham on the story and she's been ever since she broke it for the "harrisburg patriot news." we've just learned something that a lot of people here find pretty surprising. can you hear me okay, sara? did we connect with you? >> reporter: yes. >> you can hear me okay? >> reporter: yes, sorry. >> that's okay. we are live and we are connected. >> reporter: what we're learning inside is about 30 of the last 40 people that were interviewed as a group are now individually talking to the judge and to jerry sandusky's attorneys and prosecutors moving forward with this jury selection. what we know so far is that about 14 of them have ties to penn state, have either worked there or retired from there. four knew jerry sandusky, two knew his wife, two worked for the second mile. and what they're doing basically from this pool that started about 220 people is whittling it down, trying to get 12 jurors from this county, which is very -- a lot of ties to penn state, a lot of ties to the penn state football program, the charity that jerry sandusky started. and they're working to try to get 12 people -- the judge said to them this morning, i know this isn't going to be easy, i'm not naive, i know you've heard about this case. what i'm asking you to do is put all that aside and do your civic duty and hear this case without bias and make a decision after hearing the facts. >> which leads to the question of why hasn't the trial been moved? if you could answer that in just a second. but let's get to the news of the moment. the judge has anous nounsed the jury will not be sequestered. >> reporter: right. that's what the judge decided. it was after he gave this speech where he kind of -- he took off his robe, he stepped off the bench and he said to them, you know, i'm going to -- i want to have a conversation with you. i trust you. i'm not going to sequester you. you're going to get to go home every night. but the challenge is that you don't listen to media reports, you don't read newspapers. you set aside all of your thoughts that you might have had leading up to this point and in exchange for that trust, he's going to allow them to go home at night. >> which leads me to the point that you just made. one in three people in the county there attends, graduated or works for penn state university. so why hasn't the trial been moved? >> well, prosecutors -- no one necessarily wanted it to be moved from this courthouse behind me. what prosecutors wanted was to bus in jurors from somewhere else in pennsylvania. but jerry sandusky said he didn't want that, he wanted a jury from center county where he lives wrshgs lives, where he worked. and the judge gave him that with the caveat that they would try. 4e said basically, we will try to pick a jury from this county. the judge said he expects it to take about a week. whether or not they will get to the point where they have 12 jurors and four alternates remains to be seen. >> sara, thanks so much. two other people face charges in the sandusky scandal. penn state's athletic director and a former senior vice president are charged with perjury and failing to report sandusky's alleged crimes.
