secret no longer. brand-new information this morning on what we will see during the olympics opening ceremonies friday night. details leaking out from london. two early hints, james bond and harry potter. "newsroom" begins right now. and good morning to you. i'm carol costello. thanks for being with us. we begin with a single stor that captures both the heartbreak and the hope of the shooting rampage in colorado. this morning, americans are rallying to help this man, shooting victim caleb medley. he is in critical condition right now with gunshot wounds to his head, but that's only part of the story. he is also a brand-new father. caleb's wife, who escaped the massacre unharmed, gave birth to their son just yesterday. baby hugo is the glimmer of joy in one family's nightmare. they have no insurance. and now face a lifetime of debt. we begin our coverage this morning with cnn's randi kaye. >> reporter: katie and caleb are high school sweethearts. they knew katie was expected to deliver the baby this week, so as a treat, decided to take in the midnight showing of "the dark knight rises." katie and the baby inside her weren't hurt when the gunfire exploded, but caleb was shot in the face. he lost his right eye, has some brain damage, and is in critical condition. his friend broke down speaking with cbs. >> we talked about him because we know he can hear us. we told him that he needs to get back because he needs to be a dad. >> doctors here at the hospital have caleb in a medically induced coma. his brother says caleb seems to understand what happened. what's unclear is whether or not he's aware he has a new baby boy. >> if you would like to help this family in its moment of crisis, here is the website for donations. the address is calebmedley.com/help. you can find that link on my blog website as well, that's cnn.com/newsroom. click on the tab with my name. you can make a donation. i think they are already up to, what, $195,000. their goal is $500,000. caleb's medical bills could top $2 million. in the meantime, survivors of the shooting spree received a surprise visit from the actor who was on the screen at the time of the shooting spree. christian bale met with the victims and their families and visited a memorial for those killed. >> it really showed his humanity and that he does care about people. and he cares about his fans. >> it was not a canned speech. it was nothing hollywood. he was the human being christian bale. >> with more, let's head to aurora and cnn's jim spellman. good morning. >> reporter: carol, it's fascinating how this began. somebody on facebook posted they thought that maybe christian bale should come here. then our affiliate started to hash tag on twitter, bail out aurora. and over 300 million people have used that hash tag to encourage cr christian bale to come here. but people have been so excited on twitter and facebook, and everybody i have spoken to here. as much as the fact he came here as to how he did it. he asked there be no media. all of the photos we have seen are cell phone photos that popped up on facebook. and then he came here to this makeshift memorial across the street from the theater and even joined a prayer circle with people who showed up to pay their respects. they didn't even know that was christian bale. the way he did it in this low-key manner, people are really excited about that. as you heard from the person earlier it was nothing hollywood about it. it seemed genuine. it really made people -- it's really been an important thing here to people, even though it's just a symbolic gesture that he would take the time, carol. >> jim spellman live in aurora this morning. be sure to tune in saturday and sunday night at 8:00 eastern for a special cnn presents "madness at midnight." that's this weekend at 8:00 p.m. eastern. let's turn now to other news this morning. you are looking at anaheim, california. it's recovering from another night of violent protests. it's the second ugly clash with police since officers shot a man to death who was apparently unarmed. anaheim's mayor has called for state and federal investigations into the shooting. the victim was a suspected gang member. also this morning the crisis in syria just keeps getting worse. rebel leaders have ordered their fighters to attack hundreds of government troops heading towards aleppo. it's the commercial hub of the country and a crucial test in the 16 months of fighting. meantime, turkey is trying to stem the flow of refugees flooding into the country. today it's closing its border gates with syria. mitt romney says the leaks coming from the obama white house are causing a national security crisis, and it's a betrayal of the american people. he says the leaks are for obama's political gain. remember one of those leaks about a u.s. cyber attack on an iranian nuclear centrifuge was published in "the new york times" in june. romney is now using it to his advantage. here's more from dana bash. >> this conduct is contemptible. it betrays our national interest. >> reporter: foreign policy is not a top priority for voters this year, so mitt romney decided to pummel the president on an issue they do care about, trust and credibility. >> exactly who in the white house betrayed these secrets? >> reporter: romney used his speech to the veterans of foreign wars convention to blast the president for a series of national security leaks romney said were politically driven to help the president. hanging his stepped up attacks on new comments from the democratic senate intelligence chairwoman diane feinstein. >> i think the white house has to understand that some of this is coming from its ranks. >> did a superior authorize it? these are things that americans are entitled to know. and they are entitled to know it now. if the president believes as he said last week that the buck stops with him, then he owes all americans a full and prmpt accounting of the facts. the time for stone walling is over. >> reporter: that's the kick. now the kicker. >> what kind of white house would reveal classified material for political gain? i'll tell you right now, mine will not. >> reporter: feinstien later issued a statement saying she is, quote, disturbed her remarks are being used to impugn president obama. >> dana bash reporting. when asked about the accusations, here's what jay carney told reporters. quote, this administration takes all appropriate and necessary steps to prevent leaks of classified information or sensitive information that could risk ongoing counterterrorism or intelligence operations, end quote. our cnn political director mark preston is joining us now from washington. good morning, mark. >> good morning, carol. >> first, let's deal with the political gamesmanship here. there are two justice department investigations going on to find the source of this leak. what more does mr. romney want? >> he doesn't think that the department of justice should be investigating this at all, carol. in fact, in his speech yesterday to the vfw, we called for a special counsel to be appointed to look into the leak allegations. and it should come as no surprise that just about an hour ago, the romney campaign released a statement from mike rogers, a michigan republican, who also happens to be the chairman of the house intelligence committee. and mike rogers reiterated mitt romney's call for this investigation to be headed by a special counsel, carol. >> let's get down to brass tacks now. besides american exceptionalism, what is mr. romney's foreign policy? >> well, very critical of president obama's, that's for sure. we saw that yesterday. he ticked off a number of things, including saying that president obama placated russia and decided not necessarily to play hard ball with them. and he said that was a terrible foreign policy decision on president obama's part. he also is very critical of president obama when it came to the issue of israel, a country that he will visit during this x-day tour that he's now engaged in right now. he is actually in london. he has landed there. but when he is over in israel, expect him to talk about his commitment to israel, while at the same time he won't mention president obama but he'll make sure to be distinguishing himself from what president obama has done trying to walk a fine line between the palestinians, of course, and the israelis on that. and then he ticked off a whole host of other things including what he'd do for china and of course a huge issue on the plate right now, carol, is iran. >> all right. but what specifically would he do? let's say to deal with the situation in iran. you know, it might have nuclear weapons. it might not. how would mr. romney stop that? >> well, first thing he said he would try to cut off the money to iran. he would try to shut off the money spigot to them and enforce strong sanctions. i don't know how much different that would necessarily be from what president obama is doing at this point. what he did not say, though, is that he would invade iran, given the fact that they are closer to developing a nuclear bomb. under a romney administration, governor romney said yesterday they would not get the bomb. it's interesting to hear him be critical of president obama, although these are very, very delicate issues. and you certainly can't offer specifics on these things. you have to take a step back and talk on a macro level. >> mark preston live in washington this morning. the senate votes today on competing democratic and republican plans to extend those bush era tax cuts. the cuts are set to expire at the end of the year. neither proposal is expected to pass, but will likely open a frenzied negotiating session after the november election. chicago trying to recover this morning after powerful storms knocked out power to 300,000 customers. some 50,000 still have no electricity. and it might be later today or even tomorrow before everyone's power is restored. and talking about the weather, take a look at that. new satellite images reveal a sudden greenland ice melt. the first image shows greenland's ice sheet on july 8 and then one taken four days later. although about half of greenland's ice sheet normally sees surface melting over the summer months, the speed and scale of this year's thaw has surprised skriests scientists. they are calling it extraordinary. so what do james bond and harry potter have in common? >> something hidden here in the castle, and it may help us defeat you know who. >> the name's bond, james bond. >> ok. so not much. but both will have key roles in the opening ceremonies at the olympics. zain verjee, how did you find this out, zain? >> well, there's a hash tag called save the surprise. and the british government didn't want anyone who saw the rehearsals to say anything about it, but of course the whole thing has been leaked. so if you want a big surprise to watch at the opening ceremony on friday, don't watch any longer. but if you want to get a little nugget as to what are the exciting things they have planned, listen to this. william shakespeare's "the tempest" is actually going to be the theme. you know, carol, remember it's about a castaways, about a theme of wonderment and the idea of wonder on this island. and so that's basically this fantastical idea they want to go for. so you're going to have alice in wonderland. you're going to have a big showdown between harry potter and lord voldemort. peter pan as well. then of course there will be bond, james bond, 007 will parachute down into the stadium apparently. so that's just a little bit of the flavor. now the only thing that we don't know is who is going to carry the flame into the stadium. that they have managed to keep a secret. >> i wonder who that might be? maybe the queen. >> yes. as she jogs around the 400 meter track and lights it. possibly actually. >> i would love that. zain verjee, we wanted to provide you a good laugh this morning. zain verjee, thank you. mitt romney will be among the spectators at this year's olympics. he arrived in london today to kick off a six-day overseas tour that will include meetings with several leaders, including british prime minister david cameron. he will also attend the opening ceremonies of the olympics. and with his stint in running the 2002 games in salt lake city inspired this anti-romney ad. and guess who put it out? that would be the obama camp. well, we don't have that, and i

[ yawning sound ] we hav on the phone with us now an anaheim police officer. he is with the public information office there. officer, can you hear me? are you there? >> yes, i'm here. >> i'm sorry. i didn't catch your name. could you introduce yourself? >> sure, sergeant bob dunn. >> thank you for joining us here at the last minute or on short notice, i should say. there have been violent clashes going on in anaheim since saturday, since an apparently unarmed suspected gang member was shot by police. tell us what's been -- tell us what happened overnight in anaheim. >> yesterday, we had our planned city council meeting. which we had a pretty heavy agenda, meaning there was anticipated to be large attendance anyway. in light of what happened over the weekend, we anticipated even more people coming to the council meeting, and that turned out to be the case. wh what happened is the council chambers turned up quickly, and there were too many people. so the crowd began to swell, and that's kind of what began to start the violence. >> ok. and how violent did these clashes get? >> you know, they threw rocks at the officers as they attempted to effect at least one arrest near the beginning. those rocks ended up hitting members of the media. after the disbursal order was given, the crowds kind of moved around, sometimes fighting between each other, breaking windows and lighting fires and trash cans. >> and a police dog got loose and attacked a protester? >> that actually happened last saturday after the officer-involved shooting when we were dealing with a hostile crowd there. >> ok. so how much damage was done to the city of anaheim last night? >> it's this point, we're still in the assessment phase. we do know there were quite a few city buildings and businesses damaged. >> and police are accused of shooting an unarmed man. can you tell me how that shooting went down? >> on that particular day, last saturday, two of our officers were on uniform patrol in the high crime gang neighborhood. they attempted to stop three individuals who then fled on foot. it was during that foot pursuit that the officer-involved shooting occurred. the circumstances surrounding that shooting are under investigation by the district's attorney. >> and i understand 26 people have been arrested. is that accurate? >> the number i have right now is 24. we are still working through the statistics of last night. 20 of which were adults and four juveniles. >> and what measures are you taking to make sure this doesn't happen again? >> we're continuing to assess the situation. we of course are working through open source information as well as talking with other law enforcement entities. we have developed a point of plans for the police department and the fire department for several deployment periods. and so we are currently working to assess the situation and deploy as necessary. >> sergeant bob dunn, thank you so much for joining us this morning. on such short notice. we appreciate it. >> ok. >> thank you. bye-bye. an epic battle erupts over four words. what did the president mean when he said, you didn't build that? that's our talk back question this morning.
