how will you spend your time? can you remember what life was like without it? tweet me@randykayecnn. tweet me before your internet connection goes down. secretary of state hillary clinton is on her way from afghanistan to tokyo. while in afghanistan, she made an announcement on future relations with that country. >> i am pleased to announce today that president obama has officially designated afghanistan as a major non-nato ally to the united states. we see this as a powerful symbol to our commitment to afghanistan's future. >> that designation paves the way for the u.s. and afghanistan to maintain defense long after u.s. troop withdrawal. secretary clinton is on her way to tokyo. in japan, she'll ask international donors to pledge their support to afghanistan. joining me on the phone from kabul is john wendell, a photographer and time magazine correspondent. how significant is this announcement? >> caller: hi. thanks for having me. i think secretary clinton's use of the word symbol is the keyword here. the enduring partnership was signed on may 2nd between the u.s. and afghanistan. the major non-nato ally announcement was part of that. the announcement, i think, is not so significant when it comes to the day-to-day of the war. what i think it is doing is helping lay the fears of afghanistan's elite that will be abandoned ahead of the 2014 u.s. withdrawal of nato forces and part of an effort to push the taliban back. i think the main reason for the announcement was so the u.s. can point to a concrete move showing its commitment ahead of the tokyo conference you mentioned tomorrow. as part of an effort to increase foreign governments and encouraging them to pledge billions of dollars needed as u.s. and europe draw down aid because of the financial crisis and mostly because of a true political commitment. >> what does this mean? what does this mean, exactly? does it mean there could be a greater u.s. military presence past 2014? >> caller: no. i don't think so. this is really less about troops and advisers on the ground past 2014 and creating mechanisms to supply the afghan government and military. the agreement does not really sufficiently really address where the money will come from from the afghan side to encourage the growth of the afghan military and help the government. >> time magazine's john wendell. thank you very much, john. back here in the u.s. to a series of killings in ohio. police are investigating four deaths in newton falls 60 miles from cleveland. they are trying to determine if three bodies found in a home and one nearby are connected to another man who committed suicide in a cemetery. one child was able to escape the shootings in that home. in florida, george zimmerman is a free man one day after a judge said he was a flight risk, he was able to post $100,000 to get out. >> we are confidence and comfortable that george will be safe. we were hoping the bail would be considerably less than what it was. we will take the judge's comments to heart but we certainly don't necessarily agree with them. >> george zimmerman is charged with second degree murder in the shooting of trayvon martin. zimmerman has said it's self-defense. staying in florida, the police chief at florida a&m university wanted the band suspended three days after a man died during a hazing incident. he made the suggestion based on previous allegations of hazing by band members. the band has since been suspended. another sweltering day with temperatures hitting triple digits in many areas. it's worse for 350,000 people who don't have power. many have been without it for a week now after being hit by pretty strong storms. all right, to tennis now. my favorite sport. the women's final at wimbledon. serena williams is taking on poland. this is the first final for them. serena is going for her fifth wimbledon win. we wish her luck. the men finish with roger federer taking on murray. he's the first to make the british finals since the is the 1930s. fedorer has won six times. if you don't follow what's going on in puerto rico you should. 10% of the police force are thieves and murderers. they are the second largest police department in the united states. what is going on there?

>> reporter: they are looking at a lot of different things. they are at a loss at this point and time trying to figure out what it is or whether it's a combination of illnesses that exist. they do not have the answers. we have spoke today with the world health organization representative here in cambodia. he talked aft 76 case that is were initially reported, started in april. the last one was two days ago. of the 76 cases, the health department here in cambodia says 57 of them, all of them children, have basically shown the very similar symptoms of the 57 that have gone to the hospital, 56 have died. so, they are very, very concerned. this is some sort of illness that rapidly deteriorates the body. children are literally dying with a day of two of going to the hospital. let me let you hear from the world health organization representative when we asked him have they come closer to pinpoint whag it is and how dangerous it is and what are the chances it might spread? >> it is very difficult to assess how dangerous and how rapidly spreading it will be if we don't know what we are dealing with. this is the focus of our investigation at the moment. >> reporter: so, again, you heard that there. it's hard for them to assess. they are not sure how dangerous this is or how it might be spread. a lot of concern here, obviously, in cambodia. many of these cases came from the southern section of cambodia. the hospital here is a very large, well known hospital for children. that's why you are seeing the number of cases of children's death here. >> understandably there is concern of it spreading overseas. a lot of people go to cambodia, visit there, they might bring it back on an airplane. let's talk about the children. do we know anymore about the children? you mentioned where some of them are from. are they talking a cluster illness, possibly, or is it too soon for that? >> reporter: i'm glad you asked that. we specifically said is there anything or a particular area where it may have started or an area where there are a lot of cases. the answer is no. it's making it much more difficult to pinpoint where it might have started, what might have caused it. a lot of places in the southern part of the country are seeing children presented with these symptoms. we are talking fever, difficulty breathing, respiratory problems, neurological problems, drowsiness. they cannot pinpoint where it started. >> what a terrible situation affecting such young children. thank you for the update from cambodia this morning. the secrets of scientology. we are breaking through the myths and misconceptions. what's it about and why are so many celebrities taking part? it's our focus this morning. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 let's talk about fees. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 there are atm fees. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 account service fees. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 and the most dreaded fees of all, hidden fees. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 at charles schwab, you won't pay fees on top of fees. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 no monthly account service fees. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 no hidden fees. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 and we rebate every atm fee. tdd# 1-800-345-2550 so talk to chuck tdd# 1-800-345-2550 because when it comes to talking, there is no fee. it is the celebrity break up heard around the world. many people are talking about tom cruise and katie holmes split. she hasn't said what led to the decision to walk away from tom cruise. some say it may have had to do with cruise's relidge, scientology. it's brought more attention to the church and it's practices. we are focusing on the religion, the beliefs and misconceptions. we wanted to clear it up. the religion was started by author l. ron hubbard and went from there. i spoke with belief blog and asked when scientology got approval from the federal government. >> scientology is a relatively new religion, the first church opened up in los angeles in 1954. it helps explain the long affiliation with hollywood and celebrities. now, for a long time, the church fought to get government recognition in this country to get tax exempt status like other religious organizations and churches in this country enjoy. it took a long time to do so. they filed a lot of lawsuits against the irs to make it happen. they granted that status in 1993. >> when you talk about the belief, what is at the core of scientology? >> scientology is really meant as a kind of new approach to mental health. a lot of it revolves around thinking about how the mind operates. signtologists believe there's a reactive mind we have that experiences all this trauma and distress that not only in our present life, but also in what signtologists believe is our past life. a lot of the religion is aimed at working through traumas and regaining the sense of what signtologists call clear. access to this analytic mind, the thinking goes that let's us experience reality more truly or clearly. >> danny masterson, the actor from "that 70s show." he opened a museum called psychiatry industry of death. does the church have a problem with psychiatry? >> it really does. if you go on their website, it compares psychiatric drugs to street drugs. tom cruise has generated it as well. because scientology treats itself as a new approach to mental health, it's meant as a replacement for modern psychiatry and psychiatric drugs. there's a process called auditing. they sit with someone else from the church. there's something called an e-meter that sends electrical waves through their body. it's meant to pick up on sources of distress. all of that is meant to replace psychiatry. it really does dispute and reject modern day psychiatrics. it's the controversy around the church. >> what about the talk of an alien or outer space linked with scientology. what is that all about? >> signtologists, if you talk to them, they reject the talk of aliens. at the same time, this is something the signtologists reveal to member who seem to be very advanced. there's a humanity that revolves around an ancient civilization around the planets. a lot of the population was sent to earth and extinguished and that kind of the souls of these bodies are now free floating and attach themselves to human bodies and that some of the trauma that we are experiencing today is born of those bodies as well. it's another way that scientology says it takes aim at kind of our minds and providing clarity in the face of all these body that is attached themselves to human kind. >> all right. dan, thank you so much. fascinating conversation. >> randi, good to see you. there are many more aspects of the story we want to share with you throughout the morning. next hour, the money trail. what does the church own?
