WILLIS: It's a day of pomp and ceremony in London as the heir to the British throne takes a bride. Prince Charles marries his longtime sweetheart, Camilla Parker Bowles.
And in Florida, a key new question in the killing of Jessica Lunsford. Was the 9-year-old girl buried alive?
In Los Angeles, cops play a dangerous game of cat and mouse with gang members in one of America's roughest neighborhoods. Those stories straight ahead, but first, a look at the top stories now in the news.
Prince Charles now has a duchess by his side. He married Camilla Parker Bowles today, who is now called the duchess of Cornwall. There was a private civil ceremony, followed by a wedding blessing. We'll have a live report from Windsor in just a moment.
And fear is spreading in Angola over a deadly Ebola-like virus. The World Health Organization says residents in western Angola attacked its team in apparent fear that they might be spreading the Marburg virus. The infection has killed at least 174 people, making it the worst outbreak of the disease to date.
Former President Clinton is taking on a new post. He'll spend at least two years as the top U.N. envoy to nations affected by the South Asia tsunami. Mr. Clinton will be responsible for making sure donations are used properly in the tsunami relief effort.
Pomp, circumstance, and celebration: The wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles took place earlier today. The prince and his longtime mistress married in a small, private ceremony. But royals and royal watchers got a chance to celebrate at a royal blessing. CNN's Richard Quest joins us live from Richard (sic).
Hello, Richard. RICHARD QUEST, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hello, a very good afternoon to you from Windsor, where we have seen some interesting and unusual sights, not least of which the prince of Wales and his future bride turning up at a registry office to get married. It was a civil ceremony that they rushed through as quickly as possible, so that they could get to the main pomp and circumstance.
The crowds here in Windsor, were more on the smaller side than huge. But they were enthusiastic, nonetheless. Thousands of people turned out to greet the royal couple. And Camilla Parker Bowles, who's been dating the prince in some shape or form for the last three decades, wearing a beautiful dress -- we have some discussion over what the dress was -- whether it was ivory, eggshell, oyster, off- white, cream. Whatever it was, Gerri, everybody agreed that on her wedding day, she looked like -- well, she looked like a bride.
WILLIS: Well, very good, Richard. Tell us, though, there was one uninvited guest. Who was this? What was going on?
QUEST: Well, this was after the civil ceremony and when they had come back to Windsor Castle, behind me, and suddenly, out of the crowd, as the old -- you probably don't remember the old song "The Streaker," there he goes, and I'm afraid there was a case of "there he went," off up the street, before the police officers managed to cover his embarrassment.
And it didn't mar the proceedings, and it certainly didn't cause too much of a security rumpus, if you like, but the fact was, somebody was able to exhibit all their crown jewels, if you like, to some people waiting here outside Windsor Castle.
It's one of those little things -- it's been a day, Gerri, when, frankly, when you get a royal wedding, you're going to get every British loony on the street! They're going to come out in silly hats, they're going to make silly noises, they're going to take their clothes off and wiggle themselves around in front of the audience...
WILLIS: Richard, quick question...
QUEST: That's what you expect.
WILLIS: The princes, you've got to talk about the princes, William and Harry, they were there. And I know a lot of people, actually, just went to see the princes, not even the happy couple.
QUEST: Well, I mean, you know, who really wants to turn up to watch a wedding of people in their 50s when you've got the young princes who are the new and eligible ones, waiting in the wings? It's William, particularly with his girlfriend who I didn't see, but William, wanting to know -- everybody wants to know, is he going to get married. It's Harry with his pot smoking and his drunkenness and all those sort of things. They were on best behavior today, as you might have expected. They were watching their father get married.
But, overall, one has to say, that for a wedding that has had such disaster, fiasco and calamity around its planning, today got off to a pretty good start.
WILLIS: Richard Quest, thank you for that report.
We'll have more on today's royal wedding in a few minutes. CNN royals analyst, Robert Jobson, joins us at 15 after the hour.
Now, to other international news. In Iraq today, two Iraqis were killed and 13 others were wounded in Mosul after a car bomb exploded there. One of the injured says the bomb went off as a U.S. military convoy passed.
Across Iraq, demonstrators marked the two-year anniversary of U.S. troops taking control of Baghdad, by calling for those troops to leave the country. The radical cleric Muqtada Al-Sadr called for today's protests.
And five Iraqi soldiers were killed yesterday in Latifiya. Iraqi police say the soldiers were wearing civilian clothes when their car was stopped by gunmen. Investigators took the car's driver into custody. They suspect he may have been involved.
And an Iraqi photographer working for CBS News is under arrest today. U.S. military officials say he's a suspected insurgent, and they think he poses a threat to coalition forces. Senior Pentagon correspondent Jamie McIntyre has more.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
JAMIE MCINTYRE, CNN SENIOR PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT (on camera): The U.S. military initially expressed regret when it said an Iraqi journalist with a video camera was shot after being mistaken for an insurgent with a weapon. Now, the military isn't so sure the journalist was an innocent victim.
It happened Tuesday in Mosul where U.S. troops clashed with suspected insurgents at the sight of an earlier suicide bombing. One man with an AK-47 assault rifle was shot and killed, and the journalist standing nearby was hit in the hip by a bullet. After it was discovered he was unarmed, pointing a camera, not a weapon, and carrying credentials from CBS News, the U.S. military rushed him to a hospital for treatment. He was about to be released when, according to one U.S. official, an examination of his video camera revealed some incriminating evidence -- video that indicated the man may have been pre-positioned or had prior knowledge of insurgent attacks against U.S. and Iraqi targets.
Now, the U.S. is investigating whether he was collaborating with or supporting the insurgents. A statement from the U.S. military says: "There is probable cause to believe the detainee poses an imperative threat to coalition forces. He is currently detained and will be processed as any other security detainee."
CBS News issued a statement, confirming the suspect is a freelance cameraman who has worked for CBS about three months. The statement also says the cameraman was referred to the network by another Iraqi who has had a trusted relationship with CBS News for two years. CBS declined to answer a question from CNN about whether the cameraman has ever provided the network with video that would indicate he was more than just an observer of insurgent activity, saying simply "'CBS News' continues to investigate the situation."

In Florida, chilling new details about the killing of 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford. We get latest on the story from CNN's Susan Candiotti in Miami.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): In a house diagonally across the street from where Jessica Lunsford lived, not only was she allegedly sexually assaulted for as long as two days, she may have been buried alive. Law enforcement sources tell CNN, murder suspect John Couey has told investigators the 9-year-old was alive when he hid her body in the ground behind the home where he'd been living. The Citrus County Sheriff Office will not comment, but CNN sources confirm Couey's claim.
Couey already is charged with killing Jessica Lunsford by asphyxiation and sexually assaulting the youngster. Last month, Jessica Lunsford's father didn't hold back his rage at the suspect, after learning details of his daughter's death.
MARK LUNSFORD, JESSICA'S FATHER: I hope you rot in hell and I hope you get the death penalty. And I hope you can find it somewhere in you to be a man and stand up and take your punishment.
CANDIOTTI: Sources say investigators are still trying to confirm every aspect of Couey's alleged confession, and expect to know more when the autopsy is completed in a few weeks. The sheriff has said Couey had been using drugs, and his timeline might never be clearly known. The sheriff's office says the family has been informed of Couey's claim.
A newly-filed prosecution memo also reveals Jessica Lunsford may have been alive in the house where Couey had taken her, during two separate interviews with its occupants, interviews done during a massive search for the child. The memo says: "Had the defendant, Couey's half-sister, disclosed Couey's presence in the house, the life of the girl might have been saved."
Authorities have said there is no evidence any of the home's occupants knew Jessica Lunsford had ever been there.
Couey has pleaded not guilty. Susan Candiotti, CNN, Miami.
(END VIDEOTAPE) WILLIS: Ahead on CNN LIVE today, Eric Robert Rudolph, the suspect in a series of bombings that eluded authorities for years, strikes a deal. Hear what some alleged victims have to say.
And testimony from the Michael Jackson trial: Another former employee says he saw Jackson touch a former child star inappropriately.
Also, straight ahead, the royal wedding: Did Camilla pick the right dress? And what's with all those hats?

JACQUI JERAS, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Hello everyone, I'm Jacqui Jeras at the CNN Weather Center with today's allergy report. Across the country, looking pretty good still across the northern tier, but very high concentrations of pollens in the atmosphere across the lower Mississippi River Valley and parts of the Deep South, extending into the panhandle of Florida. Also seeing high concentrations around Las Vegas, extending down into the Tucson area and throughout several of the mid-Atlantic states.
For today, your allergy facts -- allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic disease in the United States. And also, another little known fact, that hay fever was first described in 1819 as a rare affliction of the privileged classes. That's a look at today's allergy report.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WILLIS: Tomorrow night, a special one-hour "CNN PRESENTS" documentary: "Homicide in Hollenbeck." Anderson Cooper takes viewers into the heart of a Los Angeles police district where gangs rule and residents live in terror.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Who are these two knuckleheads?
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): As part of Hollenbeck's gang unit, Jay Dugger (ph) and his partner, Aaron Skiver (ph), have a specific mission -- gang intelligence.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You're expected to know who's in, who's out, as far as prison.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's the only thing you go by? You never go by anything else?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Who's active, who's not active, and it changes daily. You've got youngsters coming up and you've got old guys burning out.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Crystal methamphetamine. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And you've got to stay sharp.
You better relax, dude, right now, dude.
Trying to figure out why you guys are so far east over here.
COOPER: The information they want is on the street.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Tall, he wears like nerd glasses?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, no, no, that's Dusty.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Dusty?
COOPER: Any justification to stop a gang member is a chance to learn who's doing what and where. If you're on probation or parole, the police don't need a warrant to search you.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Using again, aren't you?
KIKI, GANG MEMBER: Cops are crooked. I hate'em. I hate'em that they can walk around with a gun and get away with it.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You guys live around here?
COOPER: The cops compare their job to playing cat and mouse, while working a jigsaw puzzle in a foreign language -- graffiti, for example.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: 187 is the California penal code section for murder. Basically, that's a -- it's a death threat, basically is what it is.
I want to take a couple pictures of your tats. Let me see your stomach.
COOPER: Tattoos tell them who's in which gang.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right, put it down.
What about the Lock Street (ph), how old is that?
He's got the St. Louis Cardinal symbol on his chin, and the St. Louis Cardinals, we know that's an "S" and an "L" and then there's a little "T," St. Louis Cardinals. But for them, that means Lock Street. That's the name of his gang, El Sereno Lock Street.
Male, Hispanic, shaved head, a big black goose down jacket. Hello?
COOPER: On this day, Dugger (ph) and Skiver (ph) spot a young man they don't know.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He's running, he's running, he's taking off.
COOPER: He's wearing a down jacket on a hot day, runs when they drive by.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: In his waistband, in his waistband.
COOPER: And he grabs his waistband.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Watch his hand, watch his hand.
Those three indicators right there tell me he's got a gun.
Get down on the ground!
Get down on the ground.
That's the reason weapons are drawn, until the situation is under control.
Put your hands behind your back.
Get up.
COOPER: The man they stop says he was running to a friend's house and grabbed his waistband to hold up his sagging pants. The cops don't find a gun.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Man, I don't know what he had, but he had something in that waistband.
COOPER: But they do find something else.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mr. Gangster, "Green Eyes."
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Don't be a smartass.
COOPER: Evidence linking him to a gang.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I did a little reading because I was bored.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So you wrote "Rose Hill's gang," but you're not a gang member?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No!
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You are now.

WILLIS: "CNN PRESENTS: Homicide in Hollenbeck," Sunday night at 8:00 Eastern, with Anderson Cooper.
Stay with us, we'll be right back.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WILLIS: Welcome back. Returning now to our top story today, it's royal wedding in Britain. Camilla Parker Bowles now has a new title, the duchess of Cornwall, after her marriage a short time ago to Prince Charles. CNN's royals analyst, Robert Jobson, is with us now from Windsor, right outside London.
Welcome.
Can you hear me? Robert, are you there? We seem to be having a little trouble with this shot right now. And we'll be back in just a second with more on the royals' wedding.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WILLIS: Welcome back to our coverage of the royal wedding. Camilla Parker Bowles now has a new title, the duchess of Cornwall, after her marriage to -- a short time ago to Prince Charles. CNN's royals analyst, Robert Jobson, is here with us now from Windsor, outside London.
Robert, welcome.
Robert, can you hear me now?
ROBERT JOBSON, CNN ROYALS ANALYST: Hello, how are you? Hope everything's going well for you.
I can hear you clearly, yeah.
WILLIS: Great. Let's start with this event, just riveting really. How do people celebrate this landmark wedding people have been waiting for, really, for years?
JOBSON: I think it was more low-key than, say, previous royal weddings we've seen. It's nothing on the scale of Princess Diana's wedding to Prince Charles over two decades ago. There were about 7,000 odd people on the streets of Windsor, which is quite a narrow little town outside of London. And they were quite happy, everyone seemed to be enjoying the event. There's, obviously, ardent loyalists and tourists here who wanted to see the spectacle, and actually see members of the royal family. Some were a little disappointed they didn't see quite enough of the royals. Most of the events, actually, went on behind those walls behind me, St. George's Chapel, and away from the public. But most people seemed to enjoy it, I think.
WILLIS: What is Camilla's official titles now that the two of them are married, husband and wife?
JOBSON: Well, she is known as her royal highness, the duchess of Cornwall -- that is the title that she chooses to use. By definition, because she's married to the prince of Wales, technically, and according to the British government, she could use the title princess of Wales, but that really would be a contentious issue, one that would actually cause problems, I think, amongst all those Diana fans.
When her majesty the queen passes away, the prince of Wales becomes king, it's only then that she'll become princess consort, and that, actually is a title that's sort of been invented, really. The title she could have of course used is queen consult. Again, the government has differed with the palace and said, yes, she will be the queen, even though Camilla doesn't particularly want to be that. WILLIS: Well, Robert, that brings up another good question, which is: Is the British public really accepting Camilla?
JOBSON: Well, if we looked at the pictures on the streets of Windsor today, of course, there's a lot of people cheering, waving their flags, showing enthusiasm for this marriage. But that's only a very small proportion. I would anticipate there's a lot of hard work to do for both Camilla and the prince of Wales. Yes, they've had a good day today. They're off, pretty soon, in about half an hour's time, on their honeymoon in Scotland.
But I think it won't be long before their honeymoon period is over, both in reality, and, of course, in terms of their honeymoon period with the British media.
We'll have to wait and see if the public accepts her. Eighty percent of the people, according to the most recent polls, don't want her as the queen. But I think the great British people are quite forgiving and generous, and, I think in time, when you see these two together, acting as a couple, carrying out royal events, et cetera, people will become more accepting.
WILLIS: Well, you know, that brings up a good question, too. During the ceremony, of course, the couple recited a lengthy confession from the Book of Common Prayer. I -- tell us about that. We want to listen in and actually hear that recitation.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CROWD: Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men, we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we, from time to time, most grievously have committed by thought, word, and deed against thy divine majesty.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
WILLIS: So, tell us about that.
JOBSON: Well, that was actually -- yeah, that was at Prince Charles' insistence. He, I think, really wanted to draw a line under the whole issue of the adultery and the whole problem of that that has caused. This is a way, I think, he hopes, on television, again, rather like his -- not quite as bad as the public confession to adultery, but this is a way of saying, look, we are together -- yes, we've made mistakes, but, to err is human, we've made those mistakes and now we want to get on with the rest of our lives.
And I think that's only fair. It is the 21st century. There's probably 40 to 50 percent of this country in Britain that there are -- people have been divorced. And I think that, yes -- so he's been -- these two people are divorced, but they're trying to make a go of it together and as a couple, and I think we should be, like I say, generous and forgiving...
WILLIS: Got to go here, Robert Jobson. I apologize for cutting you off here. I know you've had a very long day, indeed. Thank you so much for being with us.
Camilla is now the duchess of Cornwall, and Prince Charles is married to the woman he says he loves. Following a quiet civil ceremony, the couple went to St. George's Cathedral in Windsor to have the wedding blessed by the Church of England. About 750 guests, including the queen and her husband, Prince Philip, witnessed the ceremony.
And in Baghdad today, it is the second anniversary of the fall of Saddam Hussein. Demonstrators loyal to the rebel cleric Muqtada Al- Sadr gathered at the spot where Saddam's statue was torn down two years ago. They protested the U.S. presence in Iraq and demanded a speedy trial for Saddam Hussein.
World Health Organization has temporarily halted plans to fight an outbreak of hemorrhagic fever in Angola. Some local residents attacked the health teams. Apparently, they're afraid the workers could be spreading the infection. The deadly Marburg virus has infected at least 205 people, killing most of them.
And former President Bill Clinton will spend at least two years in his new role as the United Nations tsunami envoy. The Clinton spokesman says the former president will demand accountability for the billions of dollars donated to the relief effort. He'll begin his mission Wednesday after a meeting in joint news conference with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
Eric Rudolph was one of the most wanted fugitives in America. Now, the accused serial bomber is expected to spend the rest of his life in prison after striking a federal plea deal. CNN's justice correspondent Kelli Arena has more.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
KELLI ARENA, CNN JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Eric Rudolph no longer faces the possibility of being put to death. He struck a deal with the government and will, instead, spend the rest of his life in prison, with no chance of parole. He is 38 years old.
In a statement, the attorney general said "the best interests of justice are served." But some victims of his attacks don't see it that way.
EMILY LYONS, BOMBING VICTIM: I wanted the trial so people would know what he did, know that he wasn't innocent, that he did do these things, that he's not a great hero to this country.
ARENA: The government did reach out to victims before sealing a final deal.
CALVIN THORBOURNE, VICTIM: You're going to die or plead guilty and you get to get just life in prison, but I don't know if just life is a light sentence. That's not a light sentence. That's a real sentence for a real crime. And so I think justice is served, you know? ARENA: Rudolph agreeing to plead guilty to the 1996 bombing at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, and three other attacks on clinics where abortions are performed, and a lesbian bar. Those four bombings killed two people and injured more than 100 others.
He was on the run for more than five years before he was caught, hiding out in the hills of North Carolina. As part of his deal, Rudolph told investigators where he hid 250 pounds of dangerous explosives in that state, some near populated communities. When officials got to some of the locations, the dynamite was too fragile to even move, and had to be detonated on site.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I heard and felt it, and I was about a quarter of a mile away even then, when I felt it.
ARENA: The deal was sealed just two days after jury selection began in his first trial in Alabama. Rudolph will appear in federal court on Wednesday to plead guilty in both Alabama and Georgia, ending a frustrating and sometimes controversial nine-year investigation.
Kelli Arena, CNN, Washington.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
WILLIS: And those who suffered most from Rudolph's alleged crimes are speaking out about the plea deal. Rudolph is accused in the bombing of a women's clinic in Birmingham, Alabama. Emily Lyons, who was wounded in that explosion, gave her reaction to Rudolph's deal, as did John Hawthorne. His wife, Alice, was killed in the Olympics bombing in 1996.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
JOHN HAWTHORNE, WIFE KILLED IN THE OLYMPICS BOMBING: It was not easy to accept, but looking at it from an unselfish standpoint, if I were holding rigidly to the death penalty, would result in other people, other innocent people, potentially being killed or seriously injured, then I couldn't live with that.
LYONS: It's a disappointment for us. You know, felt that the crimes he committed deserved the death penalty. But in order to make sure that others weren't injured or killed, you know, you have to give up some things. And so, the life sentences is -- was that option.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
WILLIS: Rudolph is scheduled to plead guilty on Wednesday.
Tawdry testimony and tears in the Michael Jackson trial. Several witnesses this week took the stand, claiming Jackson inappropriately touched children. CNN's Ted Rowlands reports. But we must first warn you, this story contains graphic material.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
TED ROWLANDS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Graphic testimony about what Michael Jackson may or may not have done years ago is expected to continue this coming week. Jurors have already heard a number of bombshell accusations, including a former security guard's claim that he saw Jackson performing oral sex on a 9- or 10-year-old boy outside a shower at Neverland ranch. A former maid says she saw Jackson kiss and touch two boys, including child movie star Macaulay Culkin. A former chef says he saw Jackson's hand inside Culkin's shorts.
Macaulay Culkin himself denies he was ever molested by Jackson.
LARRY KING, HOST, LARRY KING LIVE: What happened at the house? That's what all these things that people are concerned about.
MACAULAY CULKIN, ACTOR: That's what is so weird, you know?
KING: What did happen?
CULKIN: Nothing happened, you know what I mean? Nothing, really. I mean, we played video games.
ROWLANDS: Jackson's attorney, Thomas Mesereau, attacked the credibility of the former employee witnesses, pointing out that all of them had tried unsuccessfully to sue Jackson for wrongful termination.
JIM MORET, POOL REPORTER: These are really important witnesses. These are witnesses who aren't talking about the accuser in this case, but they're saying that they saw Michael Jackson act inappropriately with other kids. The prosecution is trying to show two things. They're trying to show that Michael Jackson has a propensity for being a child molester, and also show a common plan or scheme or motive.
ROWLANDS: Jackson is being accused of improper acts against five other children besides the alleged victim in this trial. Only one of the other accusers took the stand. A former maid's son broke down while testifying that Jackson fondled him on three separate occasions, once inside his shorts when he was 10.
None of the alleged prior behavior by Jackson resulted in any criminal charges. Over defense objections, the judge is allowing the prosecution to bring up the alleged acts to try to prove a pattern of behavior.

WILLIS: The Department of Energy sharply raised its forecast for summer gas prices. Prices at the pump already reflect increases. The AAA says the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular hit a record high of $2.26, and for the first time, gas prices topped $2 a gallon in all 50 states. Chris Huntington explains why prices are going up.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
CHRIS HUNTINGTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Prepare to pump up your wallet with even more cash for gas this summer. The Department of Energy now predicts nationwide gas prices will average $2.35 for a gallon of unleaded regular next month, up 20 cents from the DOE's last forecast, and up 40 cents from last year.
For the entire summer driving season, April through September, the DOE predicts unleaded regular will average $2.28 a gallon, 38 cents more than a year ago.
Almost all of that rise is due to the sharply higher cost of crude oil, which the Energy Department figures is up 37 cents a gallon from last year, mostly due to strong demand from China and the United States. The DOE also says that American drivers are to blame, for shrugging off the high prices and chugging more gas than ever in big and thirsty vehicles.
GUY CARUSO, EIA ADMINISTRATOR: Every year, the average vehicle's weight and horsepower have been increasing over the last five to 10 years, and that's contributing to the combination of heavier vehicles, more horsepower, and increased highway travel.
HUNTINGTON: Crude oil stockpiles are actually higher than they were a year ago, but the Department of Energy says the nation's oil refineries are already producing as much gasoline as possible. It's a bottleneck problem that is the talk of the trading pits.
RAYMOND CARBONE, OIL & GAS OPTIONS TRADER: The fear is, even though gasoline has showed some weakness and we've seen inventories not be too terribly low, the fear is a strong demand for gasoline will outpace what the refining capacity of this country is able to pump.
HUNTINGTON: While the cost of crude accounts for more than 50 percent of the price of gas at the pumps, oil companies certainly play a role, using so-called zone pricing to get the most out of each and every gas station.
Finally, there is the price momentum, created by investors flooding into the hottest market on Wall Street.

WILLIS: When a party of one is all you've got, you can travel the world solo. We'll show you how to do it the right way, including from meeting to eating, with our guest, Lea Lane.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WILLIS: Traveling all by your lonesome? It's a growing trend with Americans, particularly among boomers. In fact, four in 10 Americans say they've hit the road solo for pleasure in recent years. The new book, "Solo Traveler," can guide you on your trip. The author is Lea Lane. Welcome, Lea.
LEA LANE, AUTHOR, "SOLO TRAVELER": Hi.
WILLIS: Her passport, I should say, has been stamped in 110 countries. And you've got to be proud about that.
LANE: Yes, I am.
WILLIS: Hello to you from Miami. Let's start with just the basics on -- you know, just how do you do this? It just seems so difficult.
LANE: I know. Well, mostly people who don't do it find it difficult. I think the people who do it really love it. Eighty percent of those in that poll, recent poll, say that they really loved the freedom in meeting people. So the book is really designed to get people out there and find out for themselves.
WILLIS: Lea, how many people are doing it?
LANE: Almost 40 percent of travelers. It's really incredible. The trend is way up.
WILLIS: Let's get to some of the tips on how to do this yourself, including how to meet people, because part of the joy of being out there on your own is you get to meet new people. What's the best way to do it?
LANE: Absolutely. Well, I have lots of little tips in "Solo Traveler." But one way, I have an idea of just taking photos of people. If you see people who want to have their photo taken, go up and offer doing that. And that way, you'll meet them. You can also ask them to take your photo. That's one simple way.
WILLIS: I like that.
LANE: Another way is to carry some props. If you carry a map, an umbrella, a guide book, sure enough, someone's going to come over to you at some point or another. Another way is to join in activities. There are so many things you can do with groups. You can join a group for the entire trip, or you can take a day trip, or you can just go to a sports event, or a museum. You're going to meet someone. The key to it is ask questions and to smile. That is a magnet for people.
WILLIS: You know, that's a great idea, just simply smiling puts everybody at ease. It makes them want to talk to you. But there's still that problem of eating on your own. It's so daunting to go into a restaurant. Tell us the best way to do it.
LANE: I know, unfortunately, this is the thing that keeps most people from traveling solo. But there are lots of tips to do it. First of all, if you want to eat your main meal at lunch, that's the easiest time to do it, because there will be lots of other people eating on their own. If you want to go to informal places like cafes or bistros, you might find a waiter who takes care of you the whole time you're there, and you feel like it's family. You can do something -- you can eat in your lodging, you can bring food up to your room, or you can pick and choose with that in mind, try to find a place that has a dining room inside of it, and then you can just stay there and it's very easy to do that. Of course, you want to bring something to do. We know you can read or write, that's easy. I like to people-watch, too. So you can always look around.
WILLIS: That's always fun. Lea, tell us, also, what are the best places to go? What kind of vacation should you do if you're traveling alone?
LANE: Well, I think the main thing is to do what you like to do. If you enjoy yourself, you'll love it whether you're on your own or with someone else. I like to go to cities because there's so much to do, there are so many people on their own there. I like spas, cruises. And of course, again, activities that you enjoy. You'll just enjoy yourself, whatever you do if you're interested in what you're doing.
WILLIS: So how do you make the most of that solo vacation? Any tips for really getting the most out of your travel bucks?
LANE: Just keep your eyes open, be aware, enjoy yourself, keep an open mind. There are all kinds of tips I give in "Solo Traveler," how to avoid the single supplement. That's one of the problems of traveling on your own. But the thing is, you're going to be intensively in the environment you're in. You're going to have a much more intensive time. And I think you'll love it. It's a wonderful way to travel.
WILLIS: Well, Lea Lane, thank you for being with us today. Her book is called, "Solo Traveler: Tales and Tips for Great Trips."
Coming up, Masters in the mud. The famed golf tournament gets under way after being bogged down the first two days by storms. An update when CNN LIVE SATURDAY returns.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WILLIS: The skies are clearing in Augusta today for the 69th Masters Golf Tournament. Finally. Heavy thunderstorms brought play to a grinding halt Thursday and Friday. Now, that raises the possibility the tournament will be pushed into Monday, and that hasn't happened since 1983.
Defending champ Phil Mickelson is off to a strong start, but he wasn't among the three players tied for the lead when play resumed this morning.
You want to play like a master? Now you can learn from one. A three-disc instructional DVD from golf legend Bobby Jones is available. Steve Chamberlain is the head of Turner Home Entertainment, owned by the parent company of this network. He is also a partner in Bobby Jones Productions. Steve joins us from Charleston, South Carolina. Steve, welcome.
STEVE CHAMBERLAIN, BOBBY JONES PRODUCTIONS: Hello, thank you very much, Gerri. How are you today? WILLIS: I'm great. Good to see you. Let's talk about these videos, because you call them instructional videos, but they really look more like little movies. Tell us the difference and why they can be helpful for learners?
CHAMBERLAIN: Well, you know, Bobby Jones headed to Hollywood in 1931, and was recruited by Warner Brothers to do these 19 instructional films. And what they did is they bought famous movie stars in, like W.C. Fields and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., James Cagney and others. And what they did is they wanted to set up a skit first, so it would have entertainment value. And then of course, Bobby Jones, the master, would appear and tell the movie stars how to correct their game.
And so these films were shown in about 6,000 motion picture theaters, and about 40 million Americans saw them. Bobby Jones was just a natural on the course and on the camera.
WILLIS: Is it...
CHAMBERLAIN: We had a lot of fun putting this together.
WILLIS: Oh, it looks like it was a ton of fun. But you know, Steve, isn't there some irony here, since Bobby Jones himself never had any formal training?
CHAMBERLAIN: Well, he was a natural, plain and simple. He started at age 4 at East Lake Country Club in Atlanta, which is the site of the Tour Championship today.
Bobby Jones wasn't your typical athlete. He was about 5'7", rather stout, about 180 pounds, but he had enormous hand and eye coordination. And I'm told that he could rip a deck of cards in half with his bare hands. So he had enormous power. And if you watch these films, you can see in slow motion just this hip action and this tremendous power that he unleashed.
WILLIS: Is that him -- we see a picture of him actually juggling, I believe, which is...
CHAMBERLAIN: That's W.C. Fields there.
WILLIS: Oh, OK. Well, thanks for the correction. Yeah, we've been looking at these pictures that you've gathered over time. They're really amazing.
Let's talk a little bit about some of the other things that Bobby Jones did, because he had a career with many, many highlights, including learning the law, English literature. He really -- so much to do there. Tell us a little bit more about his personality.
CHAMBERLAIN: Well, you know, he was -- like I said before, he was a natural. And he won over 60 percent of every major golf tournament that he ever entered. And of course in 1930, he went on to win the Grand Slam, which was the British Open, the British Amateur, the U.S. Open and the U.S. Amateur. And at that time, it's important to note here, that he was an amateur through all of this. He never turned pro. And back then, pros were thought of more as sort of pool hustlers, and the public really looked up to the amateurs at that time. And he became a national hero.
And of course, our country, the United States, was just coming out of the Great Depression at that time. And here was this American hero, giving hope back to the American people. He was one of two people that received a ticker-tape parade twice in American history. The other person was astronaut John Glenn.
WILLIS: Well, Steve Chamberlain, really appreciate the conversation today. Thank you so much for your time.
CHAMBERLAIN: Well, thank you very much. And I'd like to say to the folk out there that they can go to the Golf Channel and purchase this, or my Web site, which is BobbyJonesGolfDVD.com. I really appreciate being on, thank you.
WILLIS: You bet, thanks a bunch.
Still ahead, one, two, three times the love. These boys will never forget the pope they knew. We'll explain when CNN LIVE SATURDAY returns.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WILLIS: The Eternal City is saying arrivederci to millions of pilgrims who packed Rome for the funeral of Pope John Paul II. As the nine-day mourning period comes to an end, all roads lead away from Rome. Departing visitors are eager to share their experiences. One man likened the service to a roller coaster ride of emotion.
To thousands of children around the world, Pope John Paul II was known as "Il Papa." Now, many wonder whether his special relationship with youth will continue with his replacement. CNN's Tom Foreman visited with Catholic teens in Washington.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Far from Rome, at countless places like Gonzaga College High School, teenage Catholics are wondering what will come now that the pope of the young is gone.
D.J. MCLAUGHLIN, GONZAGA COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR: Age wasn't a factor with him. Every person was -- seemed to be equal in his eyes.
PATRICK DIES, GONZAGA COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR: He could really relate with anybody. It wasn't like he was some Polish man that you couldn't talk to or anything.
MATT BRESNAHAN, GONZAGA COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR: Really embraced, like, what the new world had to offer and what new technologies brought.
COLIN CLOHERTY, GONZAGA COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR: He seemed old, but not out of touch. He seemed like he knew what was going on with the world.
FOREMAN: John Paul made extraordinary connections with young people through two dozen World Youth Day rallies around the globe.
POPE JOHN PAUL II: Go in search of God.
FOREMAN: Under his leadership, the number of full and part-time Catholic youth ministers increased ten-fold, according to Bob McCarty with the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry.
BOB MCCARTY, NATIONAL FEDERATION FOR CATHOLIC YOUTH MINISTRY: He looked at young people not as a problem to be solved, he looked at them as a gift to be shared. So rather than see young people as spectators to church, the pope was challenging the church to invite them to be participants.
FOREMAN: The pope was staunchly conservative. Young people are generally more liberal. Catholic children adored him, even as their parents complained the Vatican was too slow in addressing the problem of pedophilia in the priesthood.
But for Donna Campbell and her daughter Brittany (ph), contradictions did not matter. They met the pope 10 years ago, and he reinvigorated their faith. And it sustained them when Brittany's brother was murdered last year.
(on camera): How is it possible that a man from a different culture, a different time, a different race, a different part of the world could have such an impact on you two?
DONNA CAMPBELL, MET POPE IN BALTIMORE: I don't have the words for you.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He was very, like, gentle and quiet. Like, almost like I knew him already.
FOREMAN (voice-over): Young American Catholics still shy away from becoming priests or nuns. Many do not go to church. But this pope enthralled millions of them.
JOHN PAUL II: Hasta la vista.
FOREMAN: And they're waiting to see if the next one will build on John Paul's bridge between generations.
Tom Foreman, CNN, Washington.

WILLIS: Vatican City has issued a series of postal stamps to dedicate what it calls the vacancy of the Holy See. The stamps will have a postal value only until a new pope is chosen.
And in Poland, the parents of newborn triplets are honoring the pope by naming their boys John, Paul and Karol, the pope's birth name. The babies were born Wednesday. Public registration officer in Warsaw says it's nothing new for Poles to name their children after the pope. He says there was a big surge in 1978, when John Paul was elected pope.

(END VIDEO CLIP)
WILLIS: It's a day of pomp and ceremony in London as the heir to the British throne takes a bride. Prince Charles marries his longtime sweetheart, Camilla Parker Bowles.
And in Florida, a key new question in the killing of Jessica Lunsford. Was the 9-year-old girl buried alive?
In Los Angeles, cops play a dangerous game of cat and mouse with gang members in one of America's roughest neighborhoods. Those stories straight ahead, but first, a look at the top stories now in the news.
Prince Charles now has a duchess by his side. He married Camilla Parker Bowles today, who is now called the duchess of Cornwall. There was a private civil ceremony, followed by a wedding blessing. We'll have a live report from Windsor in just a moment.
And fear is spreading in Angola over a deadly Ebola-like virus. The World Health Organization says residents in western Angola attacked its team in apparent fear that they might be spreading the Marburg virus. The infection has killed at least 174 people, making it the worst outbreak of the disease to date.
Former President Clinton is taking on a new post. He'll spend at least two years as the top U.N. envoy to nations affected by the South Asia tsunami. Mr. Clinton will be responsible for making sure donations are used properly in the tsunami relief effort.
Pomp, circumstance, and celebration: The wedding of Prince Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles took place earlier today. The prince and his longtime mistress married in a small, private ceremony. But royals and royal watchers got a chance to celebrate at a royal blessing. CNN's Richard Quest joins us live from Richard (sic).
Hello, Richard. RICHARD QUEST, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hello, a very good afternoon to you from Windsor, where we have seen some interesting and unusual sights, not least of which the prince of Wales and his future bride turning up at a registry office to get married. It was a civil ceremony that they rushed through as quickly as possible, so that they could get to the main pomp and circumstance.
The crowds here in Windsor, were more on the smaller side than huge. But they were enthusiastic, nonetheless. Thousands of people turned out to greet the royal couple. And Camilla Parker Bowles, who's been dating the prince in some shape or form for the last three decades, wearing a beautiful dress -- we have some discussion over what the dress was -- whether it was ivory, eggshell, oyster, off- white, cream. Whatever it was, Gerri, everybody agreed that on her wedding day, she looked like -- well, she looked like a bride.
WILLIS: Well, very good, Richard. Tell us, though, there was one uninvited guest. Who was this? What was going on?
QUEST: Well, this was after the civil ceremony and when they had come back to Windsor Castle, behind me, and suddenly, out of the crowd, as the old -- you probably don't remember the old song "The Streaker," there he goes, and I'm afraid there was a case of "there he went," off up the street, before the police officers managed to cover his embarrassment.
And it didn't mar the proceedings, and it certainly didn't cause too much of a security rumpus, if you like, but the fact was, somebody was able to exhibit all their crown jewels, if you like, to some people waiting here outside Windsor Castle.
It's one of those little things -- it's been a day, Gerri, when, frankly, when you get a royal wedding, you're going to get every British loony on the street! They're going to come out in silly hats, they're going to make silly noises, they're going to take their clothes off and wiggle themselves around in front of the audience...
WILLIS: Richard, quick question...
QUEST: That's what you expect.
WILLIS: The princes, you've got to talk about the princes, William and Harry, they were there. And I know a lot of people, actually, just went to see the princes, not even the happy couple.
QUEST: Well, I mean, you know, who really wants to turn up to watch a wedding of people in their 50s when you've got the young princes who are the new and eligible ones, waiting in the wings? It's William, particularly with his girlfriend who I didn't see, but William, wanting to know -- everybody wants to know, is he going to get married. It's Harry with his pot smoking and his drunkenness and all those sort of things. They were on best behavior today, as you might have expected. They were watching their father get married.
But, overall, one has to say, that for a wedding that has had such disaster, fiasco and calamity around its planning, today got off to a pretty good start.
WILLIS: Richard Quest, thank you for that report.
We'll have more on today's royal wedding in a few minutes. CNN royals analyst, Robert Jobson, joins us at 15 after the hour.
Now, to other international news. In Iraq today, two Iraqis were killed and 13 others were wounded in Mosul after a car bomb exploded there. One of the injured says the bomb went off as a U.S. military convoy passed.
Across Iraq, demonstrators marked the two-year anniversary of U.S. troops taking control of Baghdad, by calling for those troops to leave the country. The radical cleric Muqtada Al-Sadr called for today's protests.
And five Iraqi soldiers were killed yesterday in Latifiya. Iraqi police say the soldiers were wearing civilian clothes when their car was stopped by gunmen. Investigators took the car's driver into custody. They suspect he may have been involved.
And an Iraqi photographer working for CBS News is under arrest today. U.S. military officials say he's a suspected insurgent, and they think he poses a threat to coalition forces. Senior Pentagon correspondent Jamie McIntyre has more.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
JAMIE MCINTYRE, CNN SENIOR PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT (on camera): The U.S. military initially expressed regret when it said an Iraqi journalist with a video camera was shot after being mistaken for an insurgent with a weapon. Now, the military isn't so sure the journalist was an innocent victim.
It happened Tuesday in Mosul where U.S. troops clashed with suspected insurgents at the sight of an earlier suicide bombing. One man with an AK-47 assault rifle was shot and killed, and the journalist standing nearby was hit in the hip by a bullet. After it was discovered he was unarmed, pointing a camera, not a weapon, and carrying credentials from CBS News, the U.S. military rushed him to a hospital for treatment. He was about to be released when, according to one U.S. official, an examination of his video camera revealed some incriminating evidence -- video that indicated the man may have been pre-positioned or had prior knowledge of insurgent attacks against U.S. and Iraqi targets.
Now, the U.S. is investigating whether he was collaborating with or supporting the insurgents. A statement from the U.S. military says: "There is probable cause to believe the detainee poses an imperative threat to coalition forces. He is currently detained and will be processed as any other security detainee."
CBS News issued a statement, confirming the suspect is a freelance cameraman who has worked for CBS about three months. The statement also says the cameraman was referred to the network by another Iraqi who has had a trusted relationship with CBS News for two years. CBS declined to answer a question from CNN about whether the cameraman has ever provided the network with video that would indicate he was more than just an observer of insurgent activity, saying simply "'CBS News' continues to investigate the situation."

In Florida, chilling new details about the killing of 9-year-old Jessica Lunsford. We get latest on the story from CNN's Susan Candiotti in Miami.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): In a house diagonally across the street from where Jessica Lunsford lived, not only was she allegedly sexually assaulted for as long as two days, she may have been buried alive. Law enforcement sources tell CNN, murder suspect John Couey has told investigators the 9-year-old was alive when he hid her body in the ground behind the home where he'd been living. The Citrus County Sheriff Office will not comment, but CNN sources confirm Couey's claim.
Couey already is charged with killing Jessica Lunsford by asphyxiation and sexually assaulting the youngster. Last month, Jessica Lunsford's father didn't hold back his rage at the suspect, after learning details of his daughter's death.
MARK LUNSFORD, JESSICA'S FATHER: I hope you rot in hell and I hope you get the death penalty. And I hope you can find it somewhere in you to be a man and stand up and take your punishment.
CANDIOTTI: Sources say investigators are still trying to confirm every aspect of Couey's alleged confession, and expect to know more when the autopsy is completed in a few weeks. The sheriff has said Couey had been using drugs, and his timeline might never be clearly known. The sheriff's office says the family has been informed of Couey's claim.
A newly-filed prosecution memo also reveals Jessica Lunsford may have been alive in the house where Couey had taken her, during two separate interviews with its occupants, interviews done during a massive search for the child. The memo says: "Had the defendant, Couey's half-sister, disclosed Couey's presence in the house, the life of the girl might have been saved."
Authorities have said there is no evidence any of the home's occupants knew Jessica Lunsford had ever been there.
Couey has pleaded not guilty. Susan Candiotti, CNN, Miami.
(END VIDEOTAPE) WILLIS: Ahead on CNN LIVE today, Eric Robert Rudolph, the suspect in a series of bombings that eluded authorities for years, strikes a deal. Hear what some alleged victims have to say.
And testimony from the Michael Jackson trial: Another former employee says he saw Jackson touch a former child star inappropriately.

JACQUI JERAS, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Hello everyone, I'm Jacqui Jeras at the CNN Weather Center with today's allergy report. Across the country, looking pretty good still across the northern tier, but very high concentrations of pollens in the atmosphere across the lower Mississippi River Valley and parts of the Deep South, extending into the panhandle of Florida. Also seeing high concentrations around Las Vegas, extending down into the Tucson area and throughout several of the mid-Atlantic states.
For today, your allergy facts -- allergies are the sixth leading cause of chronic disease in the United States. And also, another little known fact, that hay fever was first described in 1819 as a rare affliction of the privileged classes. That's a look at today's allergy report.

WILLIS: Tomorrow night, a special one-hour "CNN PRESENTS" documentary: "Homicide in Hollenbeck." Anderson Cooper takes viewers into the heart of a Los Angeles police district where gangs rule and residents live in terror.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Who are these two knuckleheads?
ANDERSON COOPER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): As part of Hollenbeck's gang unit, Jay Dugger (ph) and his partner, Aaron Skiver (ph), have a specific mission -- gang intelligence.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You're expected to know who's in, who's out, as far as prison.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That's the only thing you go by? You never go by anything else?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Who's active, who's not active, and it changes daily. You've got youngsters coming up and you've got old guys burning out.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Crystal methamphetamine. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And you've got to stay sharp.
You better relax, dude, right now, dude.
Trying to figure out why you guys are so far east over here.
COOPER: The information they want is on the street.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Tall, he wears like nerd glasses?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No, no, no, that's Dusty.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Dusty?
COOPER: Any justification to stop a gang member is a chance to learn who's doing what and where. If you're on probation or parole, the police don't need a warrant to search you.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Using again, aren't you?
KIKI, GANG MEMBER: Cops are crooked. I hate'em. I hate'em that they can walk around with a gun and get away with it.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You guys live around here?
COOPER: The cops compare their job to playing cat and mouse, while working a jigsaw puzzle in a foreign language -- graffiti, for example.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: 187 is the California penal code section for murder. Basically, that's a -- it's a death threat, basically is what it is.
I want to take a couple pictures of your tats. Let me see your stomach.
COOPER: Tattoos tell them who's in which gang.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All right, put it down.
What about the Lock Street (ph), how old is that?
He's got the St. Louis Cardinal symbol on his chin, and the St. Louis Cardinals, we know that's an "S" and an "L" and then there's a little "T," St. Louis Cardinals. But for them, that means Lock Street. That's the name of his gang, El Sereno Lock Street.
Male, Hispanic, shaved head, a big black goose down jacket. Hello?
COOPER: On this day, Dugger (ph) and Skiver (ph) spot a young man they don't know.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He's running, he's running, he's taking off.
COOPER: He's wearing a down jacket on a hot day, runs when they drive by.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: In his waistband, in his waistband.
COOPER: And he grabs his waistband.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Watch his hand, watch his hand.
Those three indicators right there tell me he's got a gun.
Get down on the ground!
Get down on the ground.
That's the reason weapons are drawn, until the situation is under control.
Put your hands behind your back.
Get up.
COOPER: The man they stop says he was running to a friend's house and grabbed his waistband to hold up his sagging pants. The cops don't find a gun.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Man, I don't know what he had, but he had something in that waistband.
COOPER: But they do find something else.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mr. Gangster, "Green Eyes."
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Don't be a smartass.
COOPER: Evidence linking him to a gang.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I did a little reading because I was bored.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: So you wrote "Rose Hill's gang," but you're not a gang member?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: No!
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You are now.

WILLIS: "CNN PRESENTS: Homicide in Hollenbeck," Sunday night at 8:00 Eastern, with Anderson Cooper.
Stay with us, we'll be right back.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WILLIS: Welcome back. Returning now to our top story today, it's royal wedding in Britain. Camilla Parker Bowles now has a new title, the duchess of Cornwall, after her marriage a short time ago to Prince Charles. CNN's royals analyst, Robert Jobson, is with us now from Windsor, right outside London.
Welcome.
Can you hear me? Robert, are you there? We seem to be having a little trouble with this shot right now. And we'll be back in just a second with more on the royals' wedding.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WILLIS: Welcome back to our coverage of the royal wedding. Camilla Parker Bowles now has a new title, the duchess of Cornwall, after her marriage to -- a short time ago to Prince Charles. CNN's royals analyst, Robert Jobson, is here with us now from Windsor, outside London.
Robert, welcome.
Robert, can you hear me now?
ROBERT JOBSON, CNN ROYALS ANALYST: Hello, how are you? Hope everything's going well for you.
I can hear you clearly, yeah.
WILLIS: Great. Let's start with this event, just riveting really. How do people celebrate this landmark wedding people have been waiting for, really, for years?
JOBSON: I think it was more low-key than, say, previous royal weddings we've seen. It's nothing on the scale of Princess Diana's wedding to Prince Charles over two decades ago. There were about 7,000 odd people on the streets of Windsor, which is quite a narrow little town outside of London. And they were quite happy, everyone seemed to be enjoying the event. There's, obviously, ardent loyalists and tourists here who wanted to see the spectacle, and actually see members of the royal family. Some were a little disappointed they didn't see quite enough of the royals. Most of the events, actually, went on behind those walls behind me, St. George's Chapel, and away from the public. But most people seemed to enjoy it, I think.
WILLIS: What is Camilla's official titles now that the two of them are married, husband and wife?
JOBSON: Well, she is known as her royal highness, the duchess of Cornwall -- that is the title that she chooses to use. By definition, because she's married to the prince of Wales, technically, and according to the British government, she could use the title princess of Wales, but that really would be a contentious issue, one that would actually cause problems, I think, amongst all those Diana fans.
When her majesty the queen passes away, the prince of Wales becomes king, it's only then that she'll become princess consort, and that, actually is a title that's sort of been invented, really. The title she could have of course used is queen consult. Again, the government has differed with the palace and said, yes, she will be the queen, even though Camilla doesn't particularly want to be that. WILLIS: Well, Robert, that brings up another good question, which is: Is the British public really accepting Camilla?
JOBSON: Well, if we looked at the pictures on the streets of Windsor today, of course, there's a lot of people cheering, waving their flags, showing enthusiasm for this marriage. But that's only a very small proportion. I would anticipate there's a lot of hard work to do for both Camilla and the prince of Wales. Yes, they've had a good day today. They're off, pretty soon, in about half an hour's time, on their honeymoon in Scotland.
But I think it won't be long before their honeymoon period is over, both in reality, and, of course, in terms of their honeymoon period with the British media.
We'll have to wait and see if the public accepts her. Eighty percent of the people, according to the most recent polls, don't want her as the queen. But I think the great British people are quite forgiving and generous, and, I think in time, when you see these two together, acting as a couple, carrying out royal events, et cetera, people will become more accepting.
WILLIS: Well, you know, that brings up a good question, too. During the ceremony, of course, the couple recited a lengthy confession from the Book of Common Prayer. I -- tell us about that. We want to listen in and actually hear that recitation.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
CROWD: Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all men, we acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we, from time to time, most grievously have committed by thought, word, and deed against thy divine majesty.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
WILLIS: So, tell us about that.
JOBSON: Well, that was actually -- yeah, that was at Prince Charles' insistence. He, I think, really wanted to draw a line under the whole issue of the adultery and the whole problem of that that has caused. This is a way, I think, he hopes, on television, again, rather like his -- not quite as bad as the public confession to adultery, but this is a way of saying, look, we are together -- yes, we've made mistakes, but, to err is human, we've made those mistakes and now we want to get on with the rest of our lives.
And I think that's only fair. It is the 21st century. There's probably 40 to 50 percent of this country in Britain that there are -- people have been divorced. And I think that, yes -- so he's been -- these two people are divorced, but they're trying to make a go of it together and as a couple, and I think we should be, like I say, generous and forgiving...
WILLIS: Got to go here, Robert Jobson. I apologize for cutting you off here. I know you've had a very long day, indeed. Thank you so much for being with us.
Camilla is now the duchess of Cornwall, and Prince Charles is married to the woman he says he loves. Following a quiet civil ceremony, the couple went to St. George's Cathedral in Windsor to have the wedding blessed by the Church of England. About 750 guests, including the queen and her husband, Prince Philip, witnessed the ceremony.
And in Baghdad today, it is the second anniversary of the fall of Saddam Hussein. Demonstrators loyal to the rebel cleric Muqtada Al- Sadr gathered at the spot where Saddam's statue was torn down two years ago. They protested the U.S. presence in Iraq and demanded a speedy trial for Saddam Hussein.
World Health Organization has temporarily halted plans to fight an outbreak of hemorrhagic fever in Angola. Some local residents attacked the health teams. Apparently, they're afraid the workers could be spreading the infection. The deadly Marburg virus has infected at least 205 people, killing most of them.
And former President Bill Clinton will spend at least two years in his new role as the United Nations tsunami envoy. The Clinton spokesman says the former president will demand accountability for the billions of dollars donated to the relief effort. He'll begin his mission Wednesday after a meeting in joint news conference with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan.
Eric Rudolph was one of the most wanted fugitives in America. Now, the accused serial bomber is expected to spend the rest of his life in prison after striking a federal plea deal. CNN's justice correspondent Kelli Arena has more.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
KELLI ARENA, CNN JUSTICE CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Eric Rudolph no longer faces the possibility of being put to death. He struck a deal with the government and will, instead, spend the rest of his life in prison, with no chance of parole. He is 38 years old.
In a statement, the attorney general said "the best interests of justice are served." But some victims of his attacks don't see it that way.
EMILY LYONS, BOMBING VICTIM: I wanted the trial so people would know what he did, know that he wasn't innocent, that he did do these things, that he's not a great hero to this country.
ARENA: The government did reach out to victims before sealing a final deal.
CALVIN THORBOURNE, VICTIM: You're going to die or plead guilty and you get to get just life in prison, but I don't know if just life is a light sentence. That's not a light sentence. That's a real sentence for a real crime. And so I think justice is served, you know? ARENA: Rudolph agreeing to plead guilty to the 1996 bombing at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta, and three other attacks on clinics where abortions are performed, and a lesbian bar. Those four bombings killed two people and injured more than 100 others.
He was on the run for more than five years before he was caught, hiding out in the hills of North Carolina. As part of his deal, Rudolph told investigators where he hid 250 pounds of dangerous explosives in that state, some near populated communities. When officials got to some of the locations, the dynamite was too fragile to even move, and had to be detonated on site.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I heard and felt it, and I was about a quarter of a mile away even then, when I felt it.
ARENA: The deal was sealed just two days after jury selection began in his first trial in Alabama. Rudolph will appear in federal court on Wednesday to plead guilty in both Alabama and Georgia, ending a frustrating and sometimes controversial nine-year investigation.

WILLIS: And those who suffered most from Rudolph's alleged crimes are speaking out about the plea deal. Rudolph is accused in the bombing of a women's clinic in Birmingham, Alabama. Emily Lyons, who was wounded in that explosion, gave her reaction to Rudolph's deal, as did John Hawthorne. His wife, Alice, was killed in the Olympics bombing in 1996.

JOHN HAWTHORNE, WIFE KILLED IN THE OLYMPICS BOMBING: It was not easy to accept, but looking at it from an unselfish standpoint, if I were holding rigidly to the death penalty, would result in other people, other innocent people, potentially being killed or seriously injured, then I couldn't live with that.
LYONS: It's a disappointment for us. You know, felt that the crimes he committed deserved the death penalty. But in order to make sure that others weren't injured or killed, you know, you have to give up some things. And so, the life sentences is -- was that option.

WILLIS: Rudolph is scheduled to plead guilty on Wednesday.
Tawdry testimony and tears in the Michael Jackson trial. Several witnesses this week took the stand, claiming Jackson inappropriately touched children. CNN's Ted Rowlands reports. But we must first warn you, this story contains graphic material.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
TED ROWLANDS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Graphic testimony about what Michael Jackson may or may not have done years ago is expected to continue this coming week. Jurors have already heard a number of bombshell accusations, including a former security guard's claim that he saw Jackson performing oral sex on a 9- or 10-year-old boy outside a shower at Neverland ranch. A former maid says she saw Jackson kiss and touch two boys, including child movie star Macaulay Culkin. A former chef says he saw Jackson's hand inside Culkin's shorts.
Macaulay Culkin himself denies he was ever molested by Jackson.
LARRY KING, HOST, LARRY KING LIVE: What happened at the house? That's what all these things that people are concerned about.
MACAULAY CULKIN, ACTOR: That's what is so weird, you know?
KING: What did happen?
CULKIN: Nothing happened, you know what I mean? Nothing, really. I mean, we played video games.
ROWLANDS: Jackson's attorney, Thomas Mesereau, attacked the credibility of the former employee witnesses, pointing out that all of them had tried unsuccessfully to sue Jackson for wrongful termination.
JIM MORET, POOL REPORTER: These are really important witnesses. These are witnesses who aren't talking about the accuser in this case, but they're saying that they saw Michael Jackson act inappropriately with other kids. The prosecution is trying to show two things. They're trying to show that Michael Jackson has a propensity for being a child molester, and also show a common plan or scheme or motive.
ROWLANDS: Jackson is being accused of improper acts against five other children besides the alleged victim in this trial. Only one of the other accusers took the stand. A former maid's son broke down while testifying that Jackson fondled him on three separate occasions, once inside his shorts when he was 10.
None of the alleged prior behavior by Jackson resulted in any criminal charges. Over defense objections, the judge is allowing the prosecution to bring up the alleged acts to try to prove a pattern of behavior.

WILLIS: The Department of Energy sharply raised its forecast for summer gas prices. Prices at the pump already reflect increases. The AAA says the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular hit a record high of $2.26, and for the first time, gas prices topped $2 a gallon in all 50 states. Chris Huntington explains why prices are going up.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
CHRIS HUNTINGTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Prepare to pump up your wallet with even more cash for gas this summer. The Department of Energy now predicts nationwide gas prices will average $2.35 for a gallon of unleaded regular next month, up 20 cents from the DOE's last forecast, and up 40 cents from last year.
For the entire summer driving season, April through September, the DOE predicts unleaded regular will average $2.28 a gallon, 38 cents more than a year ago.
Almost all of that rise is due to the sharply higher cost of crude oil, which the Energy Department figures is up 37 cents a gallon from last year, mostly due to strong demand from China and the United States. The DOE also says that American drivers are to blame, for shrugging off the high prices and chugging more gas than ever in big and thirsty vehicles.
GUY CARUSO, EIA ADMINISTRATOR: Every year, the average vehicle's weight and horsepower have been increasing over the last five to 10 years, and that's contributing to the combination of heavier vehicles, more horsepower, and increased highway travel.
HUNTINGTON: Crude oil stockpiles are actually higher than they were a year ago, but the Department of Energy says the nation's oil refineries are already producing as much gasoline as possible. It's a bottleneck problem that is the talk of the trading pits.
RAYMOND CARBONE, OIL & GAS OPTIONS TRADER: The fear is, even though gasoline has showed some weakness and we've seen inventories not be too terribly low, the fear is a strong demand for gasoline will outpace what the refining capacity of this country is able to pump.
HUNTINGTON: While the cost of crude accounts for more than 50 percent of the price of gas at the pumps, oil companies certainly play a role, using so-called zone pricing to get the most out of each and every gas station.
Finally, there is the price momentum, created by investors flooding into the hottest market on Wall Street.

WILLIS: When a party of one is all you've got, you can travel the world solo. We'll show you how to do it the right way, including from meeting to eating, with our guest, Lea Lane.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WILLIS: Traveling all by your lonesome? It's a growing trend with Americans, particularly among boomers. In fact, four in 10 Americans say they've hit the road solo for pleasure in recent years. The new book, "Solo Traveler," can guide you on your trip. The author is Lea Lane. Welcome, Lea.
LEA LANE, AUTHOR, "SOLO TRAVELER": Hi.
WILLIS: Her passport, I should say, has been stamped in 110 countries. And you've got to be proud about that.
LANE: Yes, I am.
WILLIS: Hello to you from Miami. Let's start with just the basics on -- you know, just how do you do this? It just seems so difficult.
LANE: I know. Well, mostly people who don't do it find it difficult. I think the people who do it really love it. Eighty percent of those in that poll, recent poll, say that they really loved the freedom in meeting people. So the book is really designed to get people out there and find out for themselves.
WILLIS: Lea, how many people are doing it?
LANE: Almost 40 percent of travelers. It's really incredible. The trend is way up.
WILLIS: Let's get to some of the tips on how to do this yourself, including how to meet people, because part of the joy of being out there on your own is you get to meet new people. What's the best way to do it?
LANE: Absolutely. Well, I have lots of little tips in "Solo Traveler." But one way, I have an idea of just taking photos of people. If you see people who want to have their photo taken, go up and offer doing that. And that way, you'll meet them. You can also ask them to take your photo. That's one simple way.
WILLIS: I like that.
LANE: Another way is to carry some props. If you carry a map, an umbrella, a guide book, sure enough, someone's going to come over to you at some point or another. Another way is to join in activities. There are so many things you can do with groups. You can join a group for the entire trip, or you can take a day trip, or you can just go to a sports event, or a museum. You're going to meet someone. The key to it is ask questions and to smile. That is a magnet for people.
WILLIS: You know, that's a great idea, just simply smiling puts everybody at ease. It makes them want to talk to you. But there's still that problem of eating on your own. It's so daunting to go into a restaurant. Tell us the best way to do it.
LANE: I know, unfortunately, this is the thing that keeps most people from traveling solo. But there are lots of tips to do it. First of all, if you want to eat your main meal at lunch, that's the easiest time to do it, because there will be lots of other people eating on their own. If you want to go to informal places like cafes or bistros, you might find a waiter who takes care of you the whole time you're there, and you feel like it's family. You can do something -- you can eat in your lodging, you can bring food up to your room, or you can pick and choose with that in mind, try to find a place that has a dining room inside of it, and then you can just stay there and it's very easy to do that. Of course, you want to bring something to do. We know you can read or write, that's easy. I like to people-watch, too. So you can always look around.
WILLIS: That's always fun. Lea, tell us, also, what are the best places to go? What kind of vacation should you do if you're traveling alone?
LANE: Well, I think the main thing is to do what you like to do. If you enjoy yourself, you'll love it whether you're on your own or with someone else. I like to go to cities because there's so much to do, there are so many people on their own there. I like spas, cruises. And of course, again, activities that you enjoy. You'll just enjoy yourself, whatever you do if you're interested in what you're doing.
WILLIS: So how do you make the most of that solo vacation? Any tips for really getting the most out of your travel bucks?
LANE: Just keep your eyes open, be aware, enjoy yourself, keep an open mind. There are all kinds of tips I give in "Solo Traveler," how to avoid the single supplement. That's one of the problems of traveling on your own. But the thing is, you're going to be intensively in the environment you're in. You're going to have a much more intensive time. And I think you'll love it. It's a wonderful way to travel.
WILLIS: Well, Lea Lane, thank you for being with us today. Her book is called, "Solo Traveler: Tales and Tips for Great Trips."
Coming up, Masters in the mud. The famed golf tournament gets under way after being bogged down the first two days by storms. An update when CNN LIVE SATURDAY returns.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WILLIS: The skies are clearing in Augusta today for the 69th Masters Golf Tournament. Finally. Heavy thunderstorms brought play to a grinding halt Thursday and Friday. Now, that raises the possibility the tournament will be pushed into Monday, and that hasn't happened since 1983.
Defending champ Phil Mickelson is off to a strong start, but he wasn't among the three players tied for the lead when play resumed this morning.
You want to play like a master? Now you can learn from one. A three-disc instructional DVD from golf legend Bobby Jones is available. Steve Chamberlain is the head of Turner Home Entertainment, owned by the parent company of this network. He is also a partner in Bobby Jones Productions. Steve joins us from Charleston, South Carolina. Steve, welcome.
STEVE CHAMBERLAIN, BOBBY JONES PRODUCTIONS: Hello, thank you very much, Gerri. How are you today? WILLIS: I'm great. Good to see you. Let's talk about these videos, because you call them instructional videos, but they really look more like little movies. Tell us the difference and why they can be helpful for learners?
CHAMBERLAIN: Well, you know, Bobby Jones headed to Hollywood in 1931, and was recruited by Warner Brothers to do these 19 instructional films. And what they did is they bought famous movie stars in, like W.C. Fields and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., James Cagney and others. And what they did is they wanted to set up a skit first, so it would have entertainment value. And then of course, Bobby Jones, the master, would appear and tell the movie stars how to correct their game.
And so these films were shown in about 6,000 motion picture theaters, and about 40 million Americans saw them. Bobby Jones was just a natural on the course and on the camera.
WILLIS: Is it...
CHAMBERLAIN: We had a lot of fun putting this together.
WILLIS: Oh, it looks like it was a ton of fun. But you know, Steve, isn't there some irony here, since Bobby Jones himself never had any formal training?
CHAMBERLAIN: Well, he was a natural, plain and simple. He started at age 4 at East Lake Country Club in Atlanta, which is the site of the Tour Championship today.
Bobby Jones wasn't your typical athlete. He was about 5'7", rather stout, about 180 pounds, but he had enormous hand and eye coordination. And I'm told that he could rip a deck of cards in half with his bare hands. So he had enormous power. And if you watch these films, you can see in slow motion just this hip action and this tremendous power that he unleashed.
WILLIS: Is that him -- we see a picture of him actually juggling, I believe, which is...
CHAMBERLAIN: That's W.C. Fields there.
WILLIS: Oh, OK. Well, thanks for the correction. Yeah, we've been looking at these pictures that you've gathered over time. They're really amazing.
Let's talk a little bit about some of the other things that Bobby Jones did, because he had a career with many, many highlights, including learning the law, English literature. He really -- so much to do there. Tell us a little bit more about his personality.
CHAMBERLAIN: Well, you know, he was -- like I said before, he was a natural. And he won over 60 percent of every major golf tournament that he ever entered. And of course in 1930, he went on to win the Grand Slam, which was the British Open, the British Amateur, the U.S. Open and the U.S. Amateur. And at that time, it's important to note here, that he was an amateur through all of this. He never turned pro. And back then, pros were thought of more as sort of pool hustlers, and the public really looked up to the amateurs at that time. And he became a national hero.
And of course, our country, the United States, was just coming out of the Great Depression at that time. And here was this American hero, giving hope back to the American people. He was one of two people that received a ticker-tape parade twice in American history. The other person was astronaut John Glenn.
WILLIS: Well, Steve Chamberlain, really appreciate the conversation today. Thank you so much for your time.
CHAMBERLAIN: Well, thank you very much. And I'd like to say to the folk out there that they can go to the Golf Channel and purchase this, or my Web site, which is BobbyJonesGolfDVD.com. I really appreciate being on, thank you.
WILLIS: You bet, thanks a bunch.
Still ahead, one, two, three times the love. These boys will never forget the pope they knew. We'll explain when CNN LIVE SATURDAY returns.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
WILLIS: The Eternal City is saying arrivederci to millions of pilgrims who packed Rome for the funeral of Pope John Paul II. As the nine-day mourning period comes to an end, all roads lead away from Rome. Departing visitors are eager to share their experiences. One man likened the service to a roller coaster ride of emotion.
To thousands of children around the world, Pope John Paul II was known as "Il Papa." Now, many wonder whether his special relationship with youth will continue with his replacement. CNN's Tom Foreman visited with Catholic teens in Washington.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Far from Rome, at countless places like Gonzaga College High School, teenage Catholics are wondering what will come now that the pope of the young is gone.
D.J. MCLAUGHLIN, GONZAGA COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL JUNIOR: Age wasn't a factor with him. Every person was -- seemed to be equal in his eyes.
PATRICK DIES, GONZAGA COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR: He could really relate with anybody. It wasn't like he was some Polish man that you couldn't talk to or anything.
MATT BRESNAHAN, GONZAGA COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR: Really embraced, like, what the new world had to offer and what new technologies brought.
COLIN CLOHERTY, GONZAGA COLLEGE HIGH SCHOOL SENIOR: He seemed old, but not out of touch. He seemed like he knew what was going on with the world.
FOREMAN: John Paul made extraordinary connections with young people through two dozen World Youth Day rallies around the globe.
POPE JOHN PAUL II: Go in search of God.
FOREMAN: Under his leadership, the number of full and part-time Catholic youth ministers increased ten-fold, according to Bob McCarty with the National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry.
BOB MCCARTY, NATIONAL FEDERATION FOR CATHOLIC YOUTH MINISTRY: He looked at young people not as a problem to be solved, he looked at them as a gift to be shared. So rather than see young people as spectators to church, the pope was challenging the church to invite them to be participants.
FOREMAN: The pope was staunchly conservative. Young people are generally more liberal. Catholic children adored him, even as their parents complained the Vatican was too slow in addressing the problem of pedophilia in the priesthood.
But for Donna Campbell and her daughter Brittany (ph), contradictions did not matter. They met the pope 10 years ago, and he reinvigorated their faith. And it sustained them when Brittany's brother was murdered last year.
(on camera): How is it possible that a man from a different culture, a different time, a different race, a different part of the world could have such an impact on you two?
DONNA CAMPBELL, MET POPE IN BALTIMORE: I don't have the words for you.
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He was very, like, gentle and quiet. Like, almost like I knew him already.
FOREMAN (voice-over): Young American Catholics still shy away from becoming priests or nuns. Many do not go to church. But this pope enthralled millions of them.
JOHN PAUL II: Hasta la vista.
FOREMAN: And they're waiting to see if the next one will build on John Paul's bridge between generations.
Tom Foreman, CNN, Washington.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
WILLIS: Vatican City has issued a series of postal stamps to dedicate what it calls the vacancy of the Holy See. The stamps will have a postal value only until a new pope is chosen.
And in Poland, the parents of newborn triplets are honoring the pope by naming their boys John, Paul and Karol, the pope's birth name. The babies were born Wednesday. Public registration officer in Warsaw says it's nothing new for Poles to name their children after the pope. He says there was a big surge in 1978, when John Paul was elected pope.
