CNNW CNN Saturday Morning February 24, 2013

Our kids grow up with a positive body image. One young girl i spoke with started noticing a troubling pattern among her friends. Girls get this idea that they need to be beautiful to be accepted and liked and to have a good life. They think to be beautiful they have to be really thin with light skin, light hair, no blemishes whatsoever. That idea comes from the media. As julia bluhm. Shes making the argument, the medias ideal body image was simply impossible to achieve without photoshop. Then she got seventeen magazine to change their photo retouching policy. This coming week is National Eating disorders week. I want to share you with a new website where you or your kids can take a free anonymous selfassessment to gauge the risk of an eating disorder called mybodyingscreening. Com. Hope that helps. Thats going to wrap things up. Let us know what you think. Cnn. Com sanjay and follow me on twitter drsanjaygupta. From cnn World Headquarters in atlanta, this is cnn sunday morning. Crash and burn this was the scene at daytona saturday that injured dozens of spectators and threatened todays race. Well take you live to the track. Its the final week of pope benedi benedicts reign but it comes with new questions about how hes really stepping down. And its hollywoods biggest night. Well talk about whos expected to go home with oscar and who will have to be sleeping alone. I hope youre having a great sunday so far. Im Susan Hendricks in for randi kaye. Thanks for starting your morning with us. We start with the latest on Oscar Pistorius. He isnt the only one in his family accused of killing someone. Overnight we learned his brother is charged in the death of another woman. We spoke with Carl Pistorius attorney from johannesburg. What did you learn from his attorney . Reporter you know, its another bizarre twist in this Oscar Pistorius story. Carl pistorius, who is oscars older brother, charged with culpable homicide. His lawyer tells me in relation to an incident that happened in 2010 when Carl Pistorius collided with a woman on a motorcycle. We understand from the lawyer that this woman was injured immediately but she was taken to hospital and died silver days later. Carl pistorius lawyer telling us he has absolutely no doubt that mr. Pistorius is innocent. He says there will be fighting these charges in court and that his client is going to be appearing in march, susan. Makes you wonder if it will have any affect on his brothers hearing. I believe his next hearing is in june. We shall see. Thanks. We take to you florida to Daytona Beach where 28 people were injured by flying debris after a big crash at the speedway. Here it is. The dede brie went up as high as 75 feet into the stands and even included a wheel. Well go to joe. Reporter earlier we reported three people were in the Halifax Medical Center in icu. We got an update from halifax saying the two patients that were listed in Critical Condition last night, those two patients have been upgraded and are no longer in Critical Condition. Again, two patients listed in Critical Condition last night have been upgraded. No longer in Critical Condition. Joie chitwood saying 28 had to be hospitalized, 14 treated at track hospital, 14 other spectators taken offsite to nearby hospitals. It was a horrific ending to what was a great race, the final turn, the final lap. Cars running near 200 miles per hour, inches from each others bumper. Then a 12car crash and a horrific crash where kyle larsons car was essentially launched into air. The number 32 car ripped in half. His engine sheared through that iron fence and onto the concour concourse. A tire from larsons car flew over the grandstand fence and into the stands. All 12 drivers remarkably walked away from this crash. Again, a nod to the safety of these cars. All 12 drivers were checked out at the track hospital and released under their own power. You know, the track officials said that crews were working throughout the night and ended about 2 a. M. , actually, fixing the track. They had to repair the fence, repair the retaining wall, and of course, the pavement surface so they could get the daytona 500 off with a 1 p. M. Start. Right now everything is looking good as far as the tracks concerned. There is weather coming through. Theres a 60 chance of rain around race time. As long as the weather cooperates, it looks like the daytona 500 will start at the 1 p. M. Scheduled start eastern time, susan. Its amazing when you were talking, we continued to watch that crash on a loop pipts amazing the drivers did walk away after you see the mangled cars. Reporter you know, a couple years ago obviously, this is the same track that Dale Earnhardt died on. After that crash back in 2001 there was a lot done to improve the safety of these vehicles. And thats a testament to how safe the vehicle actually is. When you look at kyle larsons car, the roll cage was the only thing keeping him safe. 30 minutes after the crash he did a tv interview. For him to walk away and do a broadcast interview, unbelievable. And its great the condition of the fans have been upgraded. Joe carter, appreciate that live report. Well take you back for a preview of the race and more from Danica Patrick later this hour. Well, we spoke about the weather regarding the daytona 500. Getting to work tomorrow could be difficult because of icy roads. A snowstorm is targeting the plains and the midwest. It has dumped about 2 inches so far in the denver area. The northeast, too, also dealing with its Third Straight weekend of heavy snow. Want to check back in with meteorologist karen mcginnis. How are things developing right now . Weve been juggling a couple of these storm systems, one after the other. For three weekends in a row, for boston, yeah, its been the snow or heavy snow over the last couple of weeks. This particular event not too much of a big impact. Mostly slippery roads. A big storm system is expected to eject out of the four corners region. And for denver and salt lake and for places like santa fe into the western great plains, are you going to be walloped with some cases over a foot of snowfall with high winds. Especially just to the east of denver. Those wind could gust up over 60 miles an hour. We go into tuesday and the exact position of this area of low pressure is going to be a little doubtful, at least at this point. But still looking at that triple threat. Snow on the northern edge. An area we could see ice. Out ahead of it in the warm sector, we could see some thunderstorms and the potential for severe weather. What about the snowfall . Well, you may remember wichita collected about 14 inches of snow. Yesterday we saw the incredible video from our ireporter of the heavy snow and ice that fell off her Office Building and she was lucky enough and safe enough to send us that ireport. Coming up for kansas and nebraska, also into oklahoma and the panhandles of texas panhandle of texas, we expect the snow to be heavy and blowing. What about blizzard warnings all across the front rage into the Central Plains . Well watch that. Watch out for delays. Susan, as we heard mentioned at the daytona 500, looks like a pretty good chance of some thunderstorms for the afternoon hours. Yeah, joe said 60 chance. Well see if it gets delayed at all. Karen maginnis, thank you. Pope benedict xvi gave his final prayer this morning. He gave a personal message, thanking the crowd for their affection. He will take up a life of prayer and meditation to continue serving the church. Ben wiedemann is at st. Peters square in vatican city. How did people react to the popes final prayer today . Reporter many of them were visibly moved, susan. We spoke to one 30yearold priest from texas who said he had five years ago joined the priesthood inspired by Pope Benedict and that he was, indeed, saddened by it. Many people expecting expressing a certain amount respect for the pope for making a decision that certainly shocked many people. He is, after all, the first pope to actually resign from the papecy in almost 600 years. Many see him as a man who tried to bring the church forward, who tried to achieve some sort of reform within the church. Didnt necessarily succeed, but he tried his hardest. Susan . Ben, do we know anything more about the alleged scandal being talked about . Reporter yes. I had the opportunity to speak to the two journalists who did these investigative reports that appeared in a rome daily and a weekly news magazine here. What theyre sort of pointing to is in addition to the fact that there is a network or appears to be a network, akoring to these reports, of homosexuals within the vatican who were being blackmailed by people outside the vatican, its also very much involved with the Financial Management of the vatican and the possibility that information, critical information, was being withheld from the pope. When he was presented with this 300page dossier by three cardinals he assigned to investigate wrongdoing, when he saw the contents, this is what inspired him to resign. Ben, we appreciate that live report. Well have much more on the Catholic Church in about half an hour. Well hear from an author with a controversial question, why does the Catholic Church need priests at all . Thats what hes asking. Spending cuts days away unless Congress Acts soon. A look at how it could affect you. Its the night hollywood waits for each year. Its here, its tonight. Well break down some of the first for this years oscar nominees.

New outlast Stay Fabulous Foundation from easy, breezy, beautiful covergirl. Remember this awkward kiss from the 2003 oscars . Adrien brody was so happy to win for best actor, he planted his lips on presenter halle berry. There may not be awkward kissing but there may be oscar firsts. The oldest and youngest women, age 85 and 9, have been nominated for best actress. Also five best supporting oscar nominees have been nominated before. Chicago was the first musical to win best picture in 2003. Do joining me to talk about tonights big night jackie reed and john murray in studio. Happy to have you here, both of you. Good morning to you both. I want to find out what both of you are looking forward to the most tonight. Seth macfarlane. So am i. I was skeptical it was announced he was going to be the host but when i saw him making the announcements of the nominees, he was so funny and great at that moment. Im looking forward to how hell do tonight. Hes a genius. He can sing, dance, do it all. Are you excited . Yes, i think hes going to be a great perspective to the show. Hes fresh. Hes unpredictable. Iment excited about the music appear musical, jennifer hudson, barbara streisand, shirley ba basse. Theyre trying to get a younger demographic. For the first time theyre not going to let the show end with the announce many of best picture. Seth macfarlane and kristin are going to do a musical. What about best picture . I think lincoln will take it. Really . Theres buzz its going to be argo. You cant present what oscar will do because its an older guard. Social media has been presenting this momentum for argo but i think lincoln will still take it. Do you agree . I disagree. I think argo is going to take it, even though ben affleck did not get best director nod, and usually best picture has to have a best director nomination with it. But i think because so many folks are pulling for him its like the cinderella story. It is. Hes come so far because of good will hunting and because he was snubbed, his speech, have you to love him. Best actor . I think its a nobrainer. I think its going to be daniel daylewis. I think for him, you know, making history here, becoming the first actor to have three oscar wins. There are only eight other oscars that have two Academy Awards and hell be the one that will get to three first. John, does hugh jackman have a shot tonight . People love hugh jackman. This wont be his last time to the rodeo but hes not going to wi its all about daniel daylewis, all about lincoln and this movie inspired mississippi to amend that act and now africanamericans are free, slavery is no longer possible there. Thats good news. It certainly is. Best actress . I think Jennifer Lawrence is going to take it. You do . I do. The categories have been consistent from award shows, from the s. A. G. S, Golden Globes. I think whoever won on the previous shows is going to win tonight. Jackie . I think its going to be Emmanuelle Riva because this is her year. Today is her birthday, of all things. Who wouldnt love to see this woman who turns 86 today. She gave an amazing performance in amour and its her night. Any surprising moments . I like the heartfelt speeches but it seems like they never give you enough time. They play the music as soon as you thank your first person. They really do. I cant wait to see i think Robert De Niro is going to win. Oh, so do i. Usually hes not a big campaigner when hes nominated for a picture. But this year hes really been going for it and hes been so emotional because his ties to emotional disorders. We saw him cry on the katie couric show. Its been an emotional display by him. Im looking forward to him getting up there and giving a speech. You have to give it to Robert De Niro when he cries. Hes the best of the best. I want to see who has the leg out, Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Lopez . But i want to see fresh energy, some fresh talent. I want the oscars to come alive. Will either of you miss james franco from two years ago . Absolutely not. James franco wont miss james franco. He got a lot of flack for that. He was asleep during that show. Its a hard show to do. Its a hard show. Again, it will be interesting to see how seth mack far lfarlane. Lets give franco credit. Lets do. But i think seth will do a good job. Appreciate your time. Thank you. Tonights oscars will honor the best in cinema. Last night at a Holiday Inn Express the worst in film were honored, the annual razzie awards. Twilight breaking down nominated in most categories. They won for worst film in 2012. Here are some categories they won or lost. Kristen stewart for worst actress, Taylor Lautner for worst supporting actor and bill condon for worst director.
