the judge decided before last week's hearing that in the early portion of the proceeding he would allow a camera for the initial appearance and the arraignment that should come in a couple of days. there is a sketch artist in there and full of reporters including cnn's eddie lavendara who will come down as soon as we know what is going to happen. first, he will be read the formal charges and from court documents that is 12 counts of first-degree murder and numerous attempts of first-degree murder and numerous counts around the boo booby-trapped apartment me left. and also they will decide if the notebook to the psychiatrist is privileged and the defense will argument to unseal some of the documents in the case that have been sealed. as soon as he is out here, we will be out here to report on it. suzanne? >> and also there was a charge filed about this before it happened and will this affect the defense or the prosecution? >> well, it depends what is in the notebook, and according to the court documents the d.a.'s office has not looked at it. they sealed it to see if the judge can examine it. we don't know what is in it and how long he has been seeing the psychiatrist and why he was seeing a psychiatrist and we have to be cautious about what was in the notebook and the nature of the care he received from the psychiatrist. >> okay. thank you, jim. he will bring us any information as it happens there. and now to india which is hit with one of the worst blackouts in a decade. we are talking about staggering numbers of 350 million people across the northern part of the country left in the dark essentially in sweltering summer heat which is more than the entire population of the united states. that is right. that is how many people. at least 300 trains were stranded when the power grid gave out overnight. and north korea reported that 88 people are dead and more than 60,000 left homeless after torrential rains. rains have been destroying buildings and crops. humanitarian groups are working within the country and they are saying that people are now severely mall nourish and the rain is continuing to fall today. mitt romney talking tough on iran. he pledges unwavering support for israel, and he promises to move the american embassy to jerusalem. romney has wrapped up the visit to israel, and he is now in poleland, and that is the final leg on the overseas trip he is taking there, and in a speech before he left jerusalem, romney said that iran must not be allowed to develop nuclear weapons, and that no option is off of the table. >> we must not delude ourselves into thinking that the containment is an option. we must lead the effort to prevent iran from building and possessing nuclear weapons capability. we should employ any and all measures to dissuade the iranian regime from the nuclear course, and it is our fervent hope that diplomatic and economic measures will do so. in the final analysis, of course, no option should be excluded. we recognize israel's right to defend itself, and that it is right for america to stand with you. [ applause ] >> romney also referred to jerusalem as israel's capital and expanded on that in an interview with our own wolf blitzer, and wolf is joining us from jerusalem. good to see you, wolf. first of all it was strange because u.s. policy in jerusalem as the capital of israel intentionally vague over the years, because palestinians also claim rights to part of that independent state in the future, so why would he do such a thing? i mean, this is really does seem like it is moving beyond u.s. policy. >> it's a real sensitive issue, you are absolutely right, and it has been a sensitive issue for decades. remember in the six-day war in 1967, east jerusalem was then under the control of jordan and israel controlled west jerusalem, but in the six-day war, israel captured all of jerusalem and united it and declared to be the capital. no u.s. president since then has recognized israel's occupation of east jerusalem going back to lbj through the '80s and the '90s and not bill clinton or barack obama or either of the bush presidents or ronald reagan, and now what mitt romney is saying is that if, if he does become president of the united states, he will change all of that under the right circumstances. here's the exchange and i will play it for the viewers. >> do you consider jer ruse -- jerusalem to be the capital of israel? >> yes, the nation has a right to choose its capital and jerusalem is the capital. >> if you become president of the united states would youove the embassy from tel aviv to jerusalem? it is long our policy to have the embassy in the capital of jerusalem, and the action to move it is one that i would take as president in consultation with the leadership of the government that exists at that time. now he says he would move the embassy from tel aviv to jer rus lem, and every prime minister has wanted the united states to move the embassy to jerusalem and in fact, today, i had a chance in jerusalem to speak to the president shimon peres and i said, if in fact, romney becomes president and should the u.s. move the embassy from tel aviv to jer rus lem, he said, yes, every israeli leader would want that to happen. it would be a major change for the united states if it were to a, recognize all of jer rusalems the capital and if the embassy were placed in jerusalem and that would be symbolic and presume to cause some diplomatic ramifications for the u.s. not only in the palestinian community, because they hope that jerusalem is the capital of an eventual palestinian independent state and in to a arab and the muslim world as well. >> and before leaving there, he held a brkfast raising more than $1 million. some of the comments did offend some of the palestinians making a comparison of the gross domestic product of the israeli and the palestinian areas, and you cut put it in context. culture makes all of the difference. and as i come here and i look out over this city and the consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, i recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things. and shawkat is calling this racist, and romney campaign is saying that this is taken out of context. can you put it in context what he was frying to say at the fund-raiser? >> well, i know that the romney campaign is very upset that it looks like he's making this kind of what the palestinians call racist kind of statements and the romney campaign as you saw, andrea, the spokesman for the romney campaign is pushing back on that. prime minister shawkat is the main peace negotiator and he has been upset now for the last 24 hours since romney came out and declared that jerusalem is israel's capital and subsequent when ll ll ll lly he told me th move the embassy, so to no love loss here between palestine and romney. it is going to take some walking back if you will. he did meet mitt romney with sullen fayed who is the prime minister of the palestinian authority while in jerusalem and he met with him who is highly respect respected not only by the u.s., but by the israelis as well. >> wolf blitzer, thank you. good to see you. and leon panetta is also in the region and visiting four countries in five days. tomorrow, he will be in israel addressing concerns about iran's clear and missile programs and syria's chemical weapons. he says that the largest attacks on the largest city of aleppo will hasten the end of assad. >> i think that if they continue this kind of tragic attack on their own people in aleppo, i think that it ultimately will be a nail in assad's coffin. that he's just assuring that the assad regime will come to an end by virtue of the kind of violence that they are committing against their own people. [ sirens ] >> the u.n. says that 200,000 people have fled the fighting in and around aleppo over the last two days. this amateur video shows families rushing out of harm's way and trying to get out of the way of the fighting. it was just outside of the city. our ivan watson was less than a couple of miles from where this took place. i want you to take a look at this. >> reporter: we can see a battle, a rebel offensive against a syrian army base located north of aleppo. it started around sunset and began with artillery and rockets being fired from several directions by the syrian rebels, and now we are told that the brigade that is carrying out this attack on the army checkpoint is the unity or the talweedb brigade, and the town e visited is deserted of inhabitants and bears the scars of many artillery strikes. you can see the syrian artillery troops firing out from the base and sometimes in three different directions simultaneously which suggests they are truly surrounded by the rebels. judging by the tracer fire we see, and the direction of it, it looks like the syrian army has outgunned the rebels, but they are surrounded, and i imagine it is a terrifying night to be inside of that army base. we have also witnessed what appears to be heavy artillery called in from the direction of aleppo, itself, lobbing miles, kilometers and hitting, and that is just an artillery launch -- d hitting the town of anadad, and one final observation in the towns around and outside of the field of fire, there is electricity, and the families are out, and you can hear the screams of children playing and it is a surprising juxtaposition against the fierce battle that is raging just a few miles away. >> ivan is joining us by phone by northern syria, and ivan, if you can hear us, tell us that you have visited the military base on the outskirts of aleppo, and just tell us who at this point is actually controlling that area? >> the rebels definitely captured this. i saw them showing off four captured tanks and armored personnel carriers and a whole armory of ammunitions for tank rounds. the base, itself, i with wwhich protected by earth works was completely taken by rebels. i walked around and there were several destroyed military trucks as well as destroyed armored personnel carrier and at least three armored veeckles that the government troops left behind. this was not only a moral victory for the rebels, but a strategic wone, because they hae removed the last government outpost on the highway that runs from the gates of aleppo north to the turkish border. >> this is a place where it is a commercial hub and 3 million people who live in that area, and in your peace however, you talk about the fact that you could hear kids playing while this fierce firefight is going on here. what do we make of that? >> i think it is saying something about accustomed syrians have gotten to the horrible conflict. i mean it has been going on for 17 months now. it has displaced huge segments of the population, and the people are on the move constantly. you will see people fleeing here and there, and some have just g gotten used to living next to a raging gun battle involving heavy artillery. it's incredible and also very sad. >> it is sad indeed, and we are looking at some of the pictures there. ivan, if you can paint a picture of what you saw and what you heard when you were in that area, it is really extraordinary to see just the abandoned town and also just the firefighting that continues. >> that is right. this was a major battle and what surprised me, two things, the rels have flooded fighters into the city of aleppo, thousands of them, and they are engaged in the fierce battles against the government there, and the fact that they still have the manpower and the weapons to attack a base outside of aleppo shows a little bit of their strength. then i saw the weakness of the government troops and no reinforcements came to help this outpost which had more than 100 soldiers and a dozen tanks and armored personnel carriers and no support in the three-hour battle with the exception of the artillery lobbed in and after three hours we heard a helicopter lobbed overhead, but basically the rest of the syrian military left their guys at this outpost to fight to the end. some of them we believe escaped in the end, but the rebels did take some captives. >> ivan, thank you very much. we are seeing pictures of assad's portrait being destroyed and some of the artifacts in that area, and the question of course is who is going to rule syria if assad's government l e loses this war, and why u.s. officials are warning about a power vacuum. we will have the latest on the plin winnolympic winners an. a saudi arabian olympian has a tough choice take off the hijab or don't compete. and what about a snake massage?

[ male announcer ] stop the uh-oh fast with kaopectate. syria's largest city is now being wrecked by the widening civil war. >> [ speaking foreign language ] >> rebels captured the military base today on the outskirts of aleppo and 3 million people live in that city, and bashar al assad's forces are struggling like never before to try to retain control of it. i want to bring in hala gorani who has been speaking to the activists via skype for days, and what are they telling you? >> yeah. it is giving me a bird's-eye view, because if you are on the ground, you are in one section and ivan watson's terrific reporting there on the northern outskirt outskirts of aleppo that the rebels have captured a key military base, and this is a huge, huge achievement and accomplishment for them. but in other parts of the city, other neighborhoods where there has been constant shelling, residents are telling me that over secure communication or as secure as we can make it, it is too dangerous for help in some cases to go there to deliver food and medicine. then you have other more central neighborhoods who have not seen the fighting yet. and as we were hearing from ivan's reporting, in some cases you can hear the fighting and then the children laughing not too far away. it is because it has become this sort of schizophrenic patchwork where in one area, you will have fierce fighting and then in another sort of this uneasy calm where fighting hasn't spread to yet. >> and how do they maintain the sense of chaos really, because you say calm in one area and fighting in another, and eventually, does it turn into something where it falls? >> well, this is not a sustainable scenario, because even neighborhoods that are not seeing the fighting are suffering from terrible shortages of food, fuel, and they are hunkered down essentially hoping that it won't reach them. those who don't want to be a part of the fight, and those who have children and those civilians who are not combatants, so no, it is not sustainable. the big question is, are these rebels going to have enough firepower and sort of wind in the sails to defeat the mighty assad army? nothing is certain. >> and fast forward here and say that assad's regime is beaten and the rebels are in charge -- >> which is not impossible, but it might take longer than some people predicted. >> but it is going to be unorganize and the rebel groups say to get the act together, because it could be a power vacuum and whatp has in that scenario? >> well, what happened with the united states in 2003 of iraq, that is the biggest mistake of the war is dismantling the security apparatus, and the army led so many of the soldiers iraqi army to join the insurge en si in iraq. in syria, you have hundredings of rank and file soldiers and members of the baath party and a lot of times not out of conviction, bubecause you have to be. it is something that every single syrian who wants to work for a government agency in any shape or form has to be a member of the baath party. and one of the mistakes the u.s. is warning is not to replicate that mistake in syria. a u.s. swimmer sets a world record in the olympics and it is not michael phelps. dana vo lshllmer set a world re swimming. and kate rhode won a gold in skeet shooting. and big disappointment for american gymnast jordyn webber who did not advance to the women's all around final. and today, some events going on are the men's gymnastics, and also the indoor volleyball, and the men's 200-meter free final, and ryan lochte is the current world champ. for the first time saudi arabia sends two women athletes to the olympics, and now one may be forced to withdraw from the games, because one of them wears a hijab, which is a head scarf, and one judo judge says she cannot wear it, because it is not safe, but saudi officials say she must. talk about this, nick, because they are meeting late into the night to come up with some way to resolve this. is there some sort of resolution? >> well, we are told by the saudi national olympic committee that they still think that it is possible that something can be worked out and they are not ruling it out at the moment. they are saying that the athlete is still there in britain and want her to compete, but there is clearly a huge hurdle and a gulf between the positions here, and these three organizations, the saudi olympic committee and the international olympic committee and the judo international olympic committee met late into the night and they could not come up with a agreement. this young 16-year-old athlete was forced to sign an agreement with the saudi national olympic committee before she came to britain to compete that she would go and abide by islamic dress codes which is dressing with modesty, and that is what she is being held to account to, and what her father is still holding her to account to. so it is hard to see at the moment, and the judo federation is saying to wear this garment would be a safety issue, and it would be dangerous for her to compete this way. it is hard to see how they would bridge it at this stage. >> nic, why did they not work this out ahead of time? why is this happening now? >> well, that is not clear, because this is a train wreck that you can see coming, and there has been a lot of attention paid to the fact that at the olympics this year for the first time ever all countries have contributed. some female athletes, and that has never happened before so saudi arabia finding two athletes out of the team of 19 that could compete, and meet the international standards required. one of them a middle distance runner who grew up for many of the years in the united states and lived in california, b
