THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.


DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: I'm Daryn Kagan in Atlanta.
Let's check what's happening "Now in the News" for this Wednesday, the 11th of August.

The U.S. military says it's planning a major assault against fighters loyal to radical cleric Muqtada al-Sadr in Najaf. Many of al-Sadr's militiamen are holed up at the Imam Ali Mosque, using the sacred site as a shield and a weapons depot.

A suspected suicide bomber set off an explosion at a checkpoint outside Jerusalem today. One Palestinian was killed, 15 other people were wounded.

Two trains collided in northwestern Turkey today. Witnesses say at least four people have been killed and several others injured.

And Iran announced today it successfully tested a new version of the Shahab-3 missile. The weapon has a range that would allow it to hit Israel and U.S. troops in the Gulf region.

Keeping you informed, CNN is the most trusted name in news.

Iraq and the war on terror continue to be flash points in the presidential campaign, even as the candidates move closer together, geographically speaking at least.

Candy Crowley has our "America Votes" update.

Candy, good morning.

CANDY CROWLEY, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Daryn.

Both President George Bush and Senator John Kerry are in showdown states out west today. The president has events in New Mexico and Arizona, while the senator remains in Nevada, promoting his prescription drug plan for seniors.

The Bush camp today released a new ad in which the president talks about his solemn duty to protect America from terrorists. It comes a day after Bush blasted Kerry on his latest take on the Senate vote to authorize the war in Iraq.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) GEORGE W. BUSH, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: My opponent has found a new nuance, knowing everything we know today, he would have voted to go into Iraq and remove Saddam Hussein from power. I want to thank Senator Kerry for clearing that up.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SEN. JOHN KERRY (D-MA), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I read somewhere the Bush folks trying to say that we changed positions. Is that, I've been consistent all along, ladies and gentlemen. I thought the United States needed to stand up to Saddam Hussein, and I voted to stand up to Saddam Hussein, but I thought we ought to do it right!

(END VIDEO CLIP)

CROWLEY: Checking the results from a couple of Senate primaries, one-term congresswoman Denise Majette has made history in the Democratic runoff for the Senate in Georgia. Majette handily defeating businessman Cliff Oxford yesterday to become the first African-American Georgians have ever nominated for the Senate. She faces Republican Congressman Johnny Isakson in November in the race to succeed the retiring Zell Miller.

In Colorado, Attorney General Ken Salazar easily won the Democratic nomination for the Senate seat now held by retiring Republican Ben Nighthorse Campbell. Salazar's victory sets up a showdown with Republican Pete Coors who defeated a former congressman for the GOP nomination. Coors is the former chairman of the Coors Brewery. He often told voters his strong business background outweighs his lack of political experience.

And finally, Ralph Nader doesn't have Air Force One or at least a 757 jetliner to fly, he must take to the skies on the cheap. So the Independent presidential candidate has now picked Southwest Airlines as his unofficial campaign airline. Nader says he chose Southwest for a number of reasons, including frugal tickets and interesting passengers to talk with and the candidate says he likes roasted peanuts.

As Bush and Kerry continue to campaign out west, we'll talk with senior advisers from both teams this afternoon to get an update on the race for the White House. Please be sure to join me when I go "INSIDE POLITICS" at 3:30 p.m. Eastern.

But right now it's only 11:35 Eastern and we want to go back to Daryn in Atlanta.

KAGAN: I was going to say, as a veteran of many Southwest flights, he better like peanuts.

CROWLEY: Exactly.

KAGAN: Because that and a cup of soda is all you get, but they do a great job. Thank you so much, Candy Crowley.

A programming note, president and Mrs. Bush sitting down with our Larry King for an hour of political conversation. It happens Thursday night at 9:00 Eastern on CNN.

The presidential campaigns are targeting minority voters this year like never before, especially the fast-growing Asian-American voting block.

Here is CNN's Richard Quest on the road in America.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

RICHARD QUEST, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): There are supermarkets and then there's Uwajimaya. I could be in Tokyo, Seoul or Beijing, but this is Seattle's largest Asian food store, selling to a growing Asian community.

TOMIO MORIGUCHI, CEO, UWAJIMAYA: We try to make our shop a one- stop shop for people, especially the more recent immigrants from Asia, for comfort level and for everything else. So we have American foods and a variety of Asian.

QUEST: Tomio Moriguchi, who owns the shop, is one of the 400,000 Asian-Americans living in this region. It's a number that has doubled in the past decade. In fact, 7 percent of Washington State is classed as Asian-Pacific Americans. And in an election year, it's a sizable minority, which presidential politicians do not seem to have fully tapped into.

MORIGUCHI: I think they're not doing as much as they should. A lot of it is lip service. And I think, also, they really don't know how to address the Asian population. They haven't spent as much time to think this through, as much as they probably should.

QUEST: Others are more concerned with general issues. Cathy Dong from Korea is choosing her midweek TV treat.

CATHY DONG, KOREAN: The sesame cookies and the almond cookies are very good.

QUEST: When it comes to choosing politicians, Cathy knows immigration and reuniting families are issues still to be resolved.

DONG: Well, I think immigration has a major impact on the economy and just the social issues that affects Asian-Americans in particular. So, yes, I think that is a very important issue. And I think that will be something that many people will take into consideration when they go to vote.

QUEST: At the country's only Asian-American History Museum in Seattle, it's clear the immigration issue is one that has been at the core of the community for decades, along with discrimination.

MEI-LING WOO (ph), ORG. OF CHINESE AMERICANS: It does not matter how wealthy you are, how well educated you are. I'm a highly educated professional. You still feel the stings. You are not part of this country. You're not part of the America. People see you as a foreigner.

QUEST (on camera): In the end, because the Asian-American community is made up of so many different nations and interests, courting this vote is like trying to hit a moving target. For instance, what those from Taiwan want is different from Chinese- Americans, or Japanese-Americans, or those from Korea. And what this means is for the political parties, both Republican and Democrat, this is one minority that could well defy easy political definition.

Richard Quest, CNN, Seattle.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

KAGAN: It killed millions of women every year. And what's even more frightening, it can kill without warning. Fighting a silent enemy next in your "Daily Dose" of health news.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

KAGAN: Our "Daily Dose" of health news, women and heart disease. A new study finds that many women suffer heart attacks without experiencing typical symptoms, like chest pain.

Our medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen is here with more on the findings, what they mean, and what we, as women, need to do.

Good morning.

ELIZABETH COHEN, CNN MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT: Right, you need to know this because it could happen to you. Because people think of a typical heart attack, Daryn, you see it in the movies, the person clutches their chest and the pain is radiating down the arm and that's what you walk into an emergency room, they know what's going on with you.

Well the problem is that many people, especially women, do not have those typical signs. In fact, they have atypical signs. There's a new study out in the journal "Chest." And what it found is that 1 in 12 people don't experience that typical chest pain and that most of those people who don't experience typical chest pain are older women with diabetes, heart failure or hypertension.

So if they're not getting chest pain, what are they experiencing? Well there's a whole list of symptoms, shortness of breath, excessive sweating, fainting and fatigue, nausea and vomiting, nagging pain in the shoulder or jaw. The problem with a lot of those is that those could mean a whole bunch of diseases.

So sometimes a woman will show up with these atypical signs, will show up at the emergency room and the doctor will think it's something else or will send her away. And that's why women are much more likely to be misdiagnosed than men are. KAGAN: OK, so let's take back the power and ask what do you do if it's you or someone you love having these atypical signs, what are you supposed to do?

COHEN: What you have to do is you have to be persistent with the doctors in the emergency room. And you have to persistently say have you ruled out a heart attack? Do you think it could be a heart attack?

And one important thing to remember is that an EKG, which is that stress test getting on the treadmill, often those don't turn out right with women. A woman will have had a heart attack but the EKG won't show it. So you have to be careful of EKGs. Ask, for example, for an enzyme blood test. That's a blood test that they can do to see if you've had a heart attack, but be persistent.

KAGAN: And do we know why women aren't feeling chest pains as much when they're having a heart attack?

COHEN: Doctors aren't completely sure. There are a couple of theories. One big theory is that when a man has a heart attack, it's often in that main artery in the heart. So it's more likely to show up in the test. But for women, sometimes the heart attacks are in smaller arteries and the test might miss it.

KAGAN: Still just as dangerous.

COHEN: Just as dangerous.

KAGAN: Important for us to be aware.

Elizabeth, thank you for that.

COHEN: Thanks.

KAGAN: Your "Daily Dose" of health news is just clicks away. Log on to CNN.com/health for the latest medical news, a health library and information on diet and fitness.

It's a return to royalty for the cast of "The Princess Diaries." They are back for a royal wedding on the big screen. Up next, how lucky am I, Julie Andrews joins me, also, Anne Hathaway. They'll be with us to talk live about "The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement."

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ANNE HATHAWAY, ACTOR, "THE PRINCESS DIARIES": Your foot. I'm so sorry. Are you all right?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'll survive.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KAGAN: Youth, beauty and a bit of awkward grace under fire. Mia, the maiden, is on the maiden voyage looking for love in the land of Genovia, before she can assume the throne. It's the next installment of "The Princess Diaries."

It's been a few years since we've seen Princess Mia in the middle of her common life and her royal roots. In the sequel, she is looking over potential suitors and comes across one famously eligible candidate.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

HATHAWAY: Yes! Oh, yes! I absolutely accept!

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Prince William. He's not eligible because he's in line for his own crown.

HATHAWAY: Oh!

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If he's not eligible, why is he included in these pictures?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I just love to look at him.

JULIE ANDREWS, ACTOR, "THE PRINCESS DIARIES": Me, too.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KAGAN: Two of the movie's stars join me now with more on "The Princess Diaries" sequel. I'm pleased, so pleased to welcome back Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway.

ANDREWS: Good morning.

HATHAWAY: Good morning. How are you?

KAGAN: Such a thrill, ladies, to have you here with me this morning.

ANDREWS: Thank you, it's lovely to see you, too.

KAGAN: I am one of the grown-up girls that is a big fan of "Princess Diaries."

HATHAWAY: Well grown-ups can be princesses, too, of course.

KAGAN: Absolutely. That's one of the themes of my life, Anne, in fact. So for the movie, we are heading back to Genovia.

ANDREWS: Yes, we are. And it makes for extra color in the movie because we've never seen Genovia before.

HATHAWAY: Which was great, because I know everybody had a really wonderful time getting to create it and figure out you know what stores are there, what you know all the hills and roads and everything looked like. It was wonderful.

ANDREWS: Yes, and what would grow in Genovia and where is it, you know. And I say, well, Monaco is off to the right of the south of France and Genovia is a bit off to the left.

HATHAWAY: The left, exactly.

KAGAN: How convenient, when you make up a country, you don't have to be authentic, because it gets to be what you want it to be.

HATHAWAY: It helped so much.

ANDREWS: Well we have quite a lot of traditions, Daryn, we grow pears and make goat's cheese and the nuns make lace in the nunneries and things like that.

KAGAN: And if my information is correct, Miss Andrews, I think you do some mattress surfing in this movie, is this correct?

ANDREWS: Yes, I do. And I did it myself, I want you to know.

KAGAN: Really, that is no stunt double when we see the mattress surfing part in the movie?

ANDREWS: That's right.

HATHAWAY: And she kicks butt in it. It's really, really funny.

KAGAN: For the record. OK, now, your character, Anne, has grown up a little bit. The last time we met her, she was I think in high school. Now she's gone off to college, but she faces the challenge of having to find a husband.

HATHAWAY: Yes.

KAGAN: That is correct?

HATHAWAY: Yes, yes, yes.

KAGAN: Otherwise, she can't assume the throne?

HATHAWAY: Well there's a Genovia law that says in order for a princess to become a queen, she has to get married. And so basically another heir, who's a male who doesn't have to get married, emerges, and Mia is given an ultimatum, get married in 30 days or forfeit the throne.

KAGAN: So this was something that kind of made me go hmm when I was reading about this movie, because one thing that was so nice about the first one is the great messages and values, especially that it passes on to the little girls out there. So what is it about a message to the little girls when you say well to be a queen you need a guy?

HATHAWAY: Well I think the best part about Mia and what this movie explores is she's a rule breaker. So instead of looking at it and saying, oh, OK, I'll obey thee, she really struggles with it and decides whether or not it's time to change the world. And you're going to have to watch the movie to find out what she decides.

KAGAN: OK, I get it. That's the hook.

ANDREWS: The other nice thing about the movie is it really teaches some very subtlety, it doesn't teach anything much, but it teaches some lovely things, like the fact that manners matter. And that as a teenager, you are going to have to grow up and accept some responsibilities and really assume them properly if you're going to face the world. And they're nice themes, and it's sort of not the lowest common denominator, it kind of lifts you up.

HATHAWAY: And it's rare. They are rare things to see in movies nowadays.

ANDREWS: Yes, I think so, especially children's movies.

KAGAN: It is. Anne, I also have to say I recently watched "Ella Enchanted" with my nephews. And we loved that movie as well. As a young actress, are you looking to break out of the "good girl" mode and do a few other things?

HATHAWAY: I don't think I'm stuck in any particular mode just right now, good girl, bad girl. I'm just looking to act and find roles that I really want to play and that are interesting to me and work with people that I find fascinating and talented. She's one.

(CROSSTALK)

ANDREWS: I was just thinking...

KAGAN: Try topping that experience.

ANDREWS: I was just thinking that she's going through what I used to go through with "Poppins" and "The Sound of Music." And the body of work eventually kind of speaks for itself. But right now, I'm sure everybody's thinking, oh, oh, oh, but you've made some very interesting movies and that sort of thing (ph).

HATHAWAY: Thank you, yes, yes, yes.

KAGAN: Well may your biggest problem with your career, Anne, be having a legacy as fabulous as Julie Andrews.

ANDREWS: Thank you.

KAGAN: That's what I wish. Ladies, I could talk to you all day. Our time is short, but we must end (ph).

ANDREWS: We wish we could.

KAGAN: I know.

HATHAWAY: It was so lovely getting to talk to you.

KAGAN: "Princess Diaries 2." Tell us exactly when it hits theaters?

HATHAWAY: Today. ANDREWS: It's today.

KAGAN: Today.

ANDREWS: In fact it opens today, yes.

KAGAN: All right, little girls and boys across the land going to check out the sequel.

ANDREWS: Thank you, we love what you do -- Daryn.

KAGAN: Thank you so much, Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway. Thank you so much.

ANDREWS: Bye.

KAGAN: Bye-bye.

One more word from the world of entertainment, or actually television, "60 Minutes" news veteran Mike Wallace says he is baffled. He was arrested for disorderly conduct. The incident happened outside of a Manhattan restaurant last night. An official with the Taxi and Limousine Commission says two of its inspectors were questioning the driver of Wallace' car. He says Wallace came out of the restaurant and lunged at one of the inspectors. Wallace says he was just picking up some dinner and was taken away in handcuffs.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MIKE WALLACE, "60 MINUTES": So what happened was that I said, officer, what's going? Get back in the car. I swear. So what happened was I, officer just tell me. I mean, I don't get it. What's this all -- get back in the car. I mean it, seriously. So finally there was a little bit of conversation and they cuffed me and charged me with disorderly conduct, took me down to the station, the 19th precinct.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KAGAN: They cuffed him. Mike Wallace is 86 years old. He says it's difficult for him to lunge into bed, let alone lunging at a couple of angry cops. More on that to follow.

Rhonda Schaffler, what is New York City coming to when they're hauling Mike Wallace away in handcuffs?

RHONDA SCHAFFLER, CNN FINANCIAL NEWS CORRESPONDENT: It is a tough little town here in New York, isn't it?

KAGAN: I am telling you, don't mess with those cops. All right. What about Wall Street?

SCHAFFLER: One of the more interesting stories.

(STOCK MARKET UPDATE)

SCHAFFLER: That's it from Wall Street, Daryn, back to you.

KAGAN: All right, Rhonda, no double parking now. I don't want to come bail you out of jail.

SCHAFFLER: No (ph).

KAGAN: Thank you for that.

That actually is going to do it for me for my two hours. I'm Daryn Kagan. I'll be right back here in the seat tomorrow morning.

Wolf Blitzer takes over at the top of the hour.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: Hello, I'm Wolf Blitzer in Washington, a busy hour ahead.

First though, some headlines "Now in the News."

An American threat in Iraq. United States forces telling Shiite insurgents to evacuate Najaf or die. The military is rushing reinforcements into the city south of Baghdad amid talk of an all-out U.S.-led military offensive. Just ahead, the pros and cons of storming Najaf and its hallowed Muslim shrines.

At least one Palestinian was killed and more than a dozen people were wounded today in a suspected suicide bombing in a West Bank checkpoint just north of Jerusalem. The reports say Israel had set up reinforcements near the scene of the blast after receiving a tip about an hour beforehand. A militant offshoot of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement has claimed responsibility.

Two trains collided south of Istanbul today killing at least six people. Reports out of Turkey say rescue workers are trying to reach passengers still trapped in the wreckage. This is the second fatal crash involving Turkish trains in just the past few weeks.

Also today, the star witness in the Scott Peterson trial, Amber Frey, is back on the stand after telling the jury the alleged wife killer wined her and dined her all the while, conceding the fact that he was married. We'll weigh the possible impact of the long-awaited testimony.

KAGAN: Two of the movie's stars join me now with more on "The Princess Diaries" sequel. I'm pleased, so pleased to welcome back Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway.

ANDREWS: Good morning.

HATHAWAY: Good morning. How are you?

KAGAN: Such a thrill, ladies, to have you here with me this morning.

ANDREWS: Thank you, it's lovely to see you, too.

KAGAN: I am one of the grown-up girls that is a big fan of "Princess Diaries."

HATHAWAY: Well grown-ups can be princesses, too, of course.

KAGAN: Absolutely. That's one of the themes of my life, Anne, in fact. So for the movie, we are heading back to Genovia.

ANDREWS: Yes, we are. And it makes for extra color in the movie because we've never seen Genovia before.

HATHAWAY: Which was great, because I know everybody had a really wonderful time getting to create it and figure out you know what stores are there, what you know all the hills and roads and everything looked like. It was wonderful.

ANDREWS: Yes, and what would grow in Genovia and where is it, you know. And I say, well, Monaco is off to the right of the south of France and Genovia is a bit off to the left.

HATHAWAY: The left, exactly.

KAGAN: How convenient, when you make up a country, you don't have to be authentic, because it gets to be what you want it to be.

HATHAWAY: It helped so much.

ANDREWS: Well we have quite a lot of traditions, Daryn, we grow pears and make goat's cheese and the nuns make lace in the nunneries and things like that.

KAGAN: And if my information is correct, Miss Andrews, I think you do some mattress surfing in this movie, is this correct?

ANDREWS: Yes, I do. And I did it myself, I want you to know.

KAGAN: Really, that is no stunt double when we see the mattress surfing part in the movie?

ANDREWS: That's right.

HATHAWAY: And she kicks butt in it. It's really, really funny.

KAGAN: For the record. OK, now, your character, Anne, has grown up a little bit. The last time we met her, she was I think in high school. Now she's gone off to college, but she faces the challenge of having to find a husband.

HATHAWAY: Yes.

KAGAN: That is correct?

HATHAWAY: Yes, yes, yes.

KAGAN: Otherwise, she can't assume the throne?

HATHAWAY: Well there's a Genovia law that says in order for a princess to become a queen, she has to get married. And so basically another heir, who's a male who doesn't have to get married, emerges, and Mia is given an ultimatum, get married in 30 days or forfeit the throne.

KAGAN: So this was something that kind of made me go hmm when I was reading about this movie, because one thing that was so nice about the first one is the great messages and values, especially that it passes on to the little girls out there. So what is it about a message to the little girls when you say well to be a queen you need a guy?

HATHAWAY: Well I think the best part about Mia and what this movie explores is she's a rule breaker. So instead of looking at it and saying, oh, OK, I'll obey thee, she really struggles with it and decides whether or not it's time to change the world. And you're going to have to watch the movie to find out what she decides.

KAGAN: OK, I get it. That's the hook.

ANDREWS: The other nice thing about the movie is it really teaches some very subtlety, it doesn't teach anything much, but it teaches some lovely things, like the fact that manners matter. And that as a teenager, you are going to have to grow up and accept some responsibilities and really assume them properly if you're going to face the world. And they're nice themes, and it's sort of not the lowest common denominator, it kind of lifts you up.

HATHAWAY: And it's rare. They are rare things to see in movies nowadays.

ANDREWS: Yes, I think so, especially children's movies.

KAGAN: It is. Anne, I also have to say I recently watched "Ella Enchanted" with my nephews. And we loved that movie as well. As a young actress, are you looking to break out of the "good girl" mode and do a few other things?

HATHAWAY: I don't think I'm stuck in any particular mode just right now, good girl, bad girl. I'm just looking to act and find roles that I really want to play and that are interesting to me and work with people that I find fascinating and talented. She's one.

(CROSSTALK)

ANDREWS: I was just thinking...

KAGAN: Try topping that experience.

ANDREWS: I was just thinking that she's going through what I used to go through with "Poppins" and "The Sound of Music." And the body of work eventually kind of speaks for itself. But right now, I'm sure everybody's thinking, oh, oh, oh, but you've made some very interesting movies and that sort of thing (ph).

HATHAWAY: Thank you, yes, yes, yes.

KAGAN: Well may your biggest problem with your career, Anne, be having a legacy as fabulous as Julie Andrews.

ANDREWS: Thank you.

KAGAN: That's what I wish. Ladies, I could talk to you all day. Our time is short, but we must end (ph).

ANDREWS: We wish we could.

KAGAN: I know.

HATHAWAY: It was so lovely getting to talk to you.

KAGAN: "Princess Diaries 2." Tell us exactly when it hits theaters?

HATHAWAY: Today. ANDREWS: It's today.

KAGAN: Today.

ANDREWS: In fact it opens today, yes.

KAGAN: All right, little girls and boys across the land going to check out the sequel.

ANDREWS: Thank you, we love what you do -- Daryn.

KAGAN: Thank you so much, Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway. Thank you so much.

ANDREWS: Bye.

KAGAN: Bye-bye.

One more word from the world of entertainment, or actually television, "60 Minutes" news veteran Mike Wallace says he is baffled. He was arrested for disorderly conduct. The incident happened outside of a Manhattan restaurant last night. An official with the Taxi and Limousine Commission says two of its inspectors were questioning the driver of Wallace' car. He says Wallace came out of the restaurant and lunged at one of the inspectors. Wallace says he was just picking up some dinner and was taken away in handcuffs.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MIKE WALLACE, "60 MINUTES": So what happened was that I said, officer, what's going? Get back in the car. I swear. So what happened was I, officer just tell me. I mean, I don't get it. What's this all -- get back in the car. I mean it, seriously. So finally there was a little bit of conversation and they cuffed me and charged me with disorderly conduct, took me down to the station, the 19th precinct.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

KAGAN: They cuffed him. Mike Wallace is 86 years old. He says it's difficult for him to lunge into bed, let alone lunging at a couple of angry cops. More on that to follow.

Rhonda Schaffler, what is New York City coming to when they're hauling Mike Wallace away in handcuffs?

RHONDA SCHAFFLER, CNN FINANCIAL NEWS CORRESPONDENT: It is a tough little town here in New York, isn't it?

KAGAN: I am telling you, don't mess with those cops. All right. What about Wall Street?

SCHAFFLER: One of the more interesting stories.

(STOCK MARKET UPDATE)

SCHAFFLER: That's it from Wall Street, Daryn, back to you.

KAGAN: All right, Rhonda, no double parking now. I don't want to come bail you out of jail.

SCHAFFLER: No (ph).

KAGAN: Thank you for that.

That actually is going to do it for me for my two hours. I'm Daryn Kagan. I'll be right back here in the seat tomorrow morning.

Wolf Blitzer takes over at the top of the hour.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

WOLF BLITZER, CNN ANCHOR: Hello, I'm Wolf Blitzer in Washington, a busy hour ahead.

First though, some headlines "Now in the News."

An American threat in Iraq. United States forces telling Shiite insurgents to evacuate Najaf or die. The military is rushing reinforcements into the city south of Baghdad amid talk of an all-out U.S.-led military offensive. Just ahead, the pros and cons of storming Najaf and its hallowed Muslim shrines.

At least one Palestinian was killed and more than a dozen people were wounded today in a suspected suicide bombing in a West Bank checkpoint just north of Jerusalem. The reports say Israel had set up reinforcements near the scene of the blast after receiving a tip about an hour beforehand. A militant offshoot of Yasser Arafat's Fatah movement has claimed responsibility.

Two trains collided south of Istanbul today killing at least six people. Reports out of Turkey say rescue workers are trying to reach passengers still trapped in the wreckage. This is the second fatal crash involving Turkish trains in just the past few weeks.

Also today, the star witness in the Scott Peterson trial, Amber Frey, is back on the stand after telling the jury the alleged wife killer wined her and dined her all the while, conceding the fact that he was married. We'll weigh the possible impact of the long-awaited testimony.
