Storm could ruin july 4th plans for millions, beaches from florida to new england on alert. Some forecasts saying it will be a category 1 hurricane by the weekend. Plus, boots on the ground. 300 new u. S. Troops baghdad bound but with the official withdrawal three years old, why are there almost 1,000 american servicemen there. Plus this, world cup fever hitting hollywood. The stars around, jayz, mick, rihanna and the official world cup song by j. Lo and pit bull, were brazil live in the cnn newsroom. Check me out, look. Good morning, im carol costello. Im carol costello, thank you for joining me. Much more on the world cup in a minute. First a strong storm off the east coast could put july 4th plans for millions in jeopardy. It will march up the east coast where millions will be spending their Holiday Weekend at the beach. Right to Indra Petersons with the latest live in new york. Good morning. Take a look at what is now a tropical depression but likely to strengthen into a Tropical Storm early, 35 Miles Per Hour currently a strong depression. Once it hits 39 Miles Per Hour we have a Tropical Storm. Look at the weather models out there, spaghetti plot because they all have consensus bringing it right along the eastern seaboard affecting the fourth of july plans and strengthening as it goes, so thats the concern, by just this afternoon already looking at it to be a Tropical Storm, then really affecting florida tomorrow, then in through the carolinas wednesday through thursday but here is the tricky part. As you go thursday night in through friday morning it is likely to strengthen into a weak category 1 hurricane right off the coast of d. C. And then continuing its path up the coastline affecting everyone even in through new england before exiting offshore. The timing here is bad but keep in mind here is how it looks that pans out. We talk about florida, the biggest impacts in through tomorrow. There you go, as you go into the carolinas youre heading early ahead of the holiday, look for it into the carolinas for you. Its a category 1 hurricane off the coast, notice d. C. , new york city and boston, but thats one side of the equation. What else is out there, a cold front, the big weather system through chicago will make its way from the withest to east and intersecting this potential hurricane out there, so all that tropical moisture will enhance that cold front, youll get the double whammy impact in through the northeast on fourth of july and only continues to make its way up the coastline so theres two systems were watching, take a look at it again, the cold front affecting the midwest going through the ohio valley and there is currently the depression. As these two systems that are going to be coming together and look at the Severe Weather threat already from binghamton back through arkansas, that only intensifies as it heads off to the east, intersects with all of that moisture. Carol . Did i mention i was going to charleston, south carolina, for the fourth of july . Hope you go like saturday. Looks better. Oh, geez. Thank you, indra. Sure. Getting to the beach or july 4th barbecue will be a lot more expensive this year. Gas prices are expected to be at their highest level in six years. The National Average for gas is 3. 67 a gallon and only expected to go up as we get closer to the weekend. In other news this morning, new terrorism fears could mean even tighter security the next time youre the at the airport. U. S. Officials are considering new security measures over a concern that al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula is developing more sophisticated explosives designed to get past screening devices. Republican lawmaker peter king warns the group could team up with isis militants to attack the United States. You hope that youre wrong and the threat is not there but considering the cast of characters coming together, we have to assume that there can be a device they would attempt to use against us. Lets talk about this with cnn aviation analyst and former Inspector General of the department of transportation, mary schiavo. Im joined by Cnn National Security analyst and former cia operative, bob bair. Welcome to both of you. Thank you. What kind of new weaponry are they afraid of . Well were talking about asiri, a bombmaker, capable of taking an explosive, not to get too technical but ketm. He can plasticize this and put it inside a liner of a suitcase or any other object you might carry on to an airplane, hide the detonators, plastic detonators, hide the wiring. Its very difficult for Airport Security to catch this. You almost have to know who the bombmaker is and who is actually carrying it. So mary, talk about how the tsa can protect passengers. Well, so much of what our investment has been, its passenger investment because they paid so much of the taxes but it has been an increasingly tsas ability to detect the bombs. We have all new equipment. The equipment we have at the airport is not what we had in the airport in 2001 and its aimed at detecting these things. Often what we find is that despite how much equipment we have aimed at detecting it, unless they treat each passenger as a threat, each and every time, and then look carefully at the information and at the items, that sometimes they can miss them, so bobs right. We have to rely on intelligence to a certain extent to also be alert to where the threat is coming from, and thats something we missed on september 11, too. We simply paid no attention to the threat, at least the airlines wouldnt respond and thats who was doing security at the time. Its a double edged sword. You desperately need the tsa with the top flight equipment and you also need to listen to the warnings that are out there. Right. Bob, is this more concern for airports overseas rather than the airports here in the United States . Well, the problem, of course, is putting one of these bombs on an airport that isnt particularly secure and putting on a feeder flight say to london and then london new york, and it wouldnt necessarily be a secondary check when you got in that london flight and if somebody knew what they were doing, they could put one of the bombs against the skin of an airplane and it would be like panam 103, a Suicide Mission but its very deadly and we should take the threats seriously, especially if, lets say the war starts in iraq and american soldiers are involved. These people would be particularly motivated to go after an american airline. So mary, what bob says its truly frightening. How good are intelligence sources and how well do we work with other countries . Well, fairly well. It depends on the country is the problem. We have worked so much in recent years to expand the u. S. Security standards around the globe, but in some ways, that has exposed the Security Standards in what we do to places around the globe where we know that we dont necessarily have all friends, so weve exported our tsa screening, for example, there are some airports overseas you go through your screening there and so people can get very familiar with our screening and then export their knowledge to be a threat around the globe, and one thing we had to realize after september 11, 2001 is the threat is here. We know its no longer just foreign airports. And as the intelligence sources noted over the weekend, some of these threats from terrorists have u. S. Passports. Thats problematic so we cant say its an overseas problem. Its a u. S. Problem. Thank you for your insight. In the next hour the israeli presidency perez and Benjamin Netanyahu will attend the funeral of the three teenagers found killed in the west bank. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu calls the people who killed these teen agers animals and they will pay. They destroyed the homes of two suspected kidnappers overnight, also members of amass. Hamas says the war on gaza will open the gates of hell. Theres just one problem, hamas is denying any role in the teenagers deaths while a little known group is claiming responsibility. But the israeli ambassador to the United States is not buying it. We know who perpetrated this action were members of hamas in the hebron area. We know who did these crimes and the Prime Minister was very clear who did it and they will have to pay a price for this. Its important to send a message to hamas, its a terror organization. They fire thousands of rockets at our cities. They dispatch scores of suicide bombers to blow up our buses and pizza parlors and cafes, and they perpetrated this crime, members of hamas perpetrated this crime, the kidnapping and execution of three teenaged boys. Its important for israel to send a message to hamas that this is completely unacceptable and we wont tolerate it. Senior International Correspondent ben weedman is in hebron this morning. How did the teenagers die . Reporter from what we understand is shortly after they were kidnapped at around 10 30 in the evening on thursday the 12th of june, all indications are they were killed very soon thereafter. One of the teenagers was able to make a phone call, very quickly, saying ive been kidnapped and that was the last time anyone heard from them. Weed when their bodies were discovered under a pile of rocks on the hill behind me that it appeared that they had been dead for quite some time, that the poddies had already decomposed somewhat. In fact, it was 18 days between the day of the time they were kidnapped and the time their bodies were found. Now, there was this massive certain going on in the west bank. Thousands of Israeli Soldiers combing the hills, the caves around hebron, it was the largest Israeli Military operation in the west bank since 2002, and what we understand is that a sandal of one of the teenagers was found, and then some sunglasses that the police took back to the optician, confirmed one of the boys bought the sunglasses, they were found in the area, that led to the discovery of the bodies. All indications are they were shot shortly after they were kidnapped on the 12th of june. Carol . Is hamas to blame or is it this small group thats now claiming responsibility . Reporter welle this group the socalled supporters of the islamic state, is a group nobody has ever heard of before, so not too many people are taking that claim very seriously. The link, according to israeli officials, and i sfoek with tpo israeli Prime MinisterPrime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu about it a day before yesterday. The link is the two missing wme from hebron who have been missing since the day of the d kidnappi kidnapping. They have links to hamas and that is why the israeli officials are pointing the fingers at hamas. There is not unanimity among Israeli Security officials as to whether this was an ad hoc kidnapping and murder by two people who happened to have connections with hamas or whether this was something that was directed from the highest levels of the military wing of hamas. So thats not all together clear at this point. Ben weedman reporting live from hebron this morning. Here at home, from bad to worse, General Motors issuing another recall, this time more than 8 million cars worldwide. The company says most of the recalls are because of a defect with ignition switches. Sound familiar . Thats because its the same problem the company failed to disclose for more than a decade. Just yesterday gm offered to pay at least 1 million to each family who lost loved ones because of the problem. The latest cars recalleds have been linked to three deaths, seven crashes and eight injuries. In all gm recalled nearly 30 million cars this year. We bring in poppy harlow to tell us more. Shes in new york. Good morning. Good morning, carol. About 27 million of the recalled vehicle this is year are right here in the United States. This is a big problem, a big headache for gm. Yesterday more than 8 million car recall was the biggest single recall in a day for this really troubled auto maker right now. This is a very serious issue because when the ignition switch can get knocked off while youre driving into the accessory mode that powers the car off, that means your airbags wont inflate, power steering, antilock brakes will not work. It has been linked to at least 13 deaths. I want to show you on the screen youre looking at the all of the new cars recalled because of this issue. Youve got the chevy malibu, two oldsmobiles, pantiac grand prix, cadillac cts, cadillac srx. Lot of them recalled much older models, some as recent as this year. The big picture carol, why is this happening . Because gm never wants anyone to point their finger at the company saying you delayed a safety recall for more than a decade that cost lives. Thats what happened with the initial ignition switch recall. Theyre being aggressive, very careful recalling anything that may have a problem. Poppy harlow reporting live for us, thank you. Still to come, its all or nothing for the United States at the world cup. Laura baldesarra is covering the huge match with belgium. Good morning. Good morning, carol.

The United States is sending 300 more troops toe iraq to push back on the fastmoving isis search. 200 troops arrived within the last two days.

Newly elected parliament was set to hold its first session today to begin the process of forming a new government but that was postponed because the minimum number of members was not present. The fbi says it will talk to the once missing detroit boy who was found hiding out in his basement. The bureau scheduled an interview with 12yearold charlie bothuell. Detroit police any charges against charlies parents will depend on what the fbi finds out where from this interview. Go, go, go its a day of reckoning for u. S. Soccer, its belgium for bust. The team faces its biggest challenge in the world cup against a young and talented belgium squad, win and the americans advance to the quarterfinals for the First Time Since 2002. Lose and they are out of the tournament. We have this afternoons make or break match with chris cuomo and laura baldesarra in salvador, brazil. Sume you have not brought your belgian waffles with you. Theres a boycott under way in this country. Well, yes, baldesarra has to be a little bit objective. Shes doing analysis of all the different matches to be fair had per. I do not, carol. I cant even believe you said if. There is no if. This is about we believe. This is about the u. S. With a day of destiny. Do you see what i have on . Its going to be right here. Weve been hanging out. This is like the head and the heart this combo here. Yes. Laura is the brains of the operation and im just emphasizing the irrational exuberance, weve been with the fans and they loved it. I believe you described it as the brains and the beauty that was on you earlier today. Yes, thats what others have been saying. Yes. Okay, well lets talk strategy, because i understand a key player is back with the u. S. Team, but laura, how much will he play . Hoe a altidor has been dealing with an injury he picked up in the first game around 20 minutes in, and he has been declared fit to play in todays match. Im not really 100 convinced that he will make it back into the starting 11. I think Jurgen Klinsmann has a squad working for him with a lot of play coming out of the midfield but who knows, at the end of the day, im not klinsmann. We could see Jose Altidore playing. Takes the pressure off clint dempsey, the guy that thrives under pressure, he wants to prove everyone wrong. Got you. Chris, how many u. S. Fans are there to watch . The fact is they bought more tickets in the u. S. Than anywhere else in the world except brazil, right . So numerically, theyre strong, especially versus belgium. The question is how much intensity theyre bringing. We went to this fan fest last night. Met this one guy, goes by Teddy Goalsevelt but he says goooaaaalllsevelt. Theyve been so strong and its important in a match like this, as an aging jock myself, when you know the crowd is with you, it makes a big difference and the u. S. Needs that, because they really feed off energy, especially as an underdog. I can totally understand. We cant wait for the mch later this afternoon. Thanks so much.
