KYRA PHILLIPS, CNN ANCHOR: Two stories to tell you about just in to CNN. First, a possible videotape of Osama Bin Laden's number two, possibly surfacing now according to Al Jazeera Television. We're talking about a videotape put together by Ayman Al Zawahiri. As you know, he is Osama Bin Laden's personal physician, closest confidant, number two man in Al Qaeda. If indeed this is true and proves authentic, as Al Jazeera Television is reporting, Al Zawahiri is proved to be alive and somewhere, and according to this tape, talking about Al Qaeda, criticizing the U.S. proposal for reform in the Middle East and announcing Al Qaeda's three main pillars of reform.
We're following that story, and we'll bring you more information as we bet it. Once again, possibly a videotape made by Ayman Al Zawahiri. The other story we're following for you is here back in the United States, and that is a verdict, we are hearing in the Marcus Wesson trial. You'll remember the story, Marcus Wesson, 58 years old. He had pleaded not guilty to murder charges. You'll remember in his home back in March 2004, nine people were found murdered inside Wesson's home. Nine individuals, all believed to be his wife and children. Those murder charges and 14 counts of sexually abusing his daughters and nieces, came forward in this trial.

Now we are hearing there is a verdict. As soon as we find out, we will let you know what that is. As you know, if convicted of at least two murders, he could get the death penalty.

Once again, we'll update you on both of those stories internationally and domestically. Now, are you ready for more of the Terri Schiavo case? A lot of people are not, and a lot of people are. Florida Governor Jeb Bush wants a fresh look at the circumstances surrounding Terri Schiavo's collapse in her home in 1990. He says there is a timeline discrepancy in reports made by Schiavo's husband, Michael.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GOV. JEB BUSH (R), FLORIDA: We didn't have that information, because it was, I believe, in the malpractice suit whose files apparently were sealed by the judge, but the medical examiner has this ability to get this information about the time that could be anywhere from 40 minutes to an hour and 10 minutes between when Terri Schiavo collapsed and when the 911 call was made.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

PHILLIPS: You'll recall that Terri Schiavo died March 31st. The county medical examiner spoke with a CNN producer today and said that there was no time discrepancy and no confusion ore over timelines.

Well, six days, four earthquakes, you do the math. After Thursday's offshore shakeup, you'll might be starting to wonder if California is indeed getting ready for the big one. Well, before we encase the state in bubble wrap, CNN's Ted Rowlands reviews the rumbles with seismologists and some fairly unruffled residents.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We are in the midst of an earthquake here in Southern California.

TED ROWLANDS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice over): It was felt at the racetrack and in just about every living room in the Los Angeles area.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I was in my power lounger and it started shaking. My wife was in the kitchen by the refrigerator. She had to grab the wall and the refrigerator.

ROWLANDS: Yesterday's earthquake was the third in California in less than a week, leaving people to think, there must be a connection. Seismologists say that's possible, but think it's more likely that mother nature is just sending a reminder.

DR. LUCY JONES, U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY: This is not an unusual level of earthquake activity. We live in earthquake country and we should remember it.

ROWLANDS: Yesterday's 4.9 earthquake was centered just north of the city of Ukiah. Some people living near the epicenter reported minor damage.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It did all the damage to the porch and the eves and everything and to the chimney on the fireplace.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It was pretty scary. It was pretty, like, wavy, it felt like. A lot of things - some stuff fell down.

ROWLANDS: Two earthquakes hit the state earlier in the week, a 5.6 near the city of Anza Sunday, and a 7.2 90 miles off the coast of Northern California on Monday. The northern quake set off a tsunami warning that turned out to be a false alarm. Also, a 7.8 quake killed at least 11 people in Chili Monday and a 6.8 hit the Aleutian Islands off Alaska on Tuesday. Seismologists say they plan to study any possible relationship between the earthquakes but don't anticipate proving any sort of link. Meanwhile, until the next one, life goes on.

(on camera): And the big question is whether this will be more of those shakers. Seismologists say there is a one in 20 chance that what we've been feeling thus far could be a precursor of a larger event. People down here, safe to say, are hoping that that is not the case.

Ted Rowlands, CNN, Pasadena, California.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

PHILLIPS: News around the world now. An unexpected meeting in North Korea as leader Kim Jong Il agrees to see South Korea's visiting unification minister, Chung Dong-Young in Pyongyang. Kim reportedly said that North Korea could return to six-party talk, but a Bush administration official tells CNN, the White House will wait for action before it considers the statement significant.

In Kyrgyzstan, protesters are met with warning shots and tear gas. Police chased the supporters of a would-be opposition candidate through the streets of the capital while shooting in the air and firing tear gas. Protesters had seized a government building after learning that their candidate would be barred from running. Election officials claim the man is actually a resident of neighboring Kazakstan.

And in Iran the polls have just closed in what's looking like a tightly-contested presidential election. Voting hours were extended to allow more people to vote. Surveys show former President Rafsanjani is likely headed toward a runoff against either a reformist candidate or a conservative ally with the country's powerful hardline clerics.

Well, some Iranians blame those hardline Shiite clerics for hamstringing Iran's outgoing president, Mohamed Khatami, during his two terms in office. Khatami swept into office eight years ago amid optimism for reform in Iran, but repeatedly ran into a wall of opposition.

CNN's Christiane Amanpour says, many young Iranians are now so disenchanted with their country's politics, they're boycotting the vote.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

CHRISTIANE AMANPOUR, CNN CHIEF INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): This is the sound of love and heartbreak. Love for a profession that brings five young musicians to lonely practice sessions, tucked away in a tiny room on a rooftop. And heartbreak, that they're not allowed to play in public, that rock 'n' roll, the universal language of youth, is not approved by Iran's Islamic republic, that they feel well and truly outside the system.

The band is called Oriental Silence, and like all of them, drummer Amir Ali Kaheri, will not be voting Friday.

ALI KAHERI, DRUMMER (through translator): No, although I would have liked to. But I can't vote for these candidates. I don't like them.

AMANPOUR: The same goes for lyricist Payam Eslami.

PAYAM ESLAMI, LYRICIST (through translator): I want the rights and freedoms everyone is entitled to. Normal rights, nothing more.

AMANPOUR: If these young people feel shut out, these young people, at Pars Online, Iran's biggest Internet service provider, are very much working the system, riding the Internet and IT boom that's just rolled around to Iran, and being paid above average wages.

MOHSEN LUTSI, IT ENGINEER: It makes me feel that we are moving forward as the world goes forward.

AMANPOUR: Twenty-three-year-old Mohsen Lutsi is among the company's young employees who returned from the U.S. and Europe to work here. With another million young Iranians about to hit the job market, presidential candidates this time are talking mostly about the economy, not Islam.

(on camera): With high unemployment and sensing deep social dissatisfaction, even the conservative candidates are speaking the language of reform and democracy. This, the legacy of the outgoing, reformist but hapless, President Mohamed Khatami.

CIAMIK NAMAZI, ANALYST: A lot of us have been pretty critical of President Khatami for all the things we hoped he could achieve and didn't, but perhaps this is the one achievement that we have to hand to him, that essentially the dialogue and the discourse, the political discourse that he created, the legacy lives on.

AMANPOUR: The mournful lament of Oriental Silence perhaps sums up feelings about a campaign that's being marked by threats of boycott and predictions of a lower turnout than usual, by people who hope but don't believe their vote will change much.

TAHERI (through translator): There may be small changes, but nothing major. But I really hope things will get better, because they must.

AMANPOUR: Christiane Amanpour, CNN, Tehran, Iran.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

PHILLIPS: Well, straight ahead, capturing the birth of your child. Will growing hospital concerns about possible lawsuits make it more difficult to videotape the biggest day of every parents' life?

Plus, will it be another big day on the greens for Reitief Goosen? We're live at the U.S. Open, when CNN's LIVE FROM returns.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

PHILLIPS: Just in, the developments continue in the search for Natalee Holloway and the investigation in Aruba. We go straight to Karl Penhaul, who joins us on the phone. What's the latest news, Karl?

KARL PENHAUL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Kyra, a fourth man was arrested this morning in the town of Santa Cruz. That's in the center of Aruba. Police commissioner said only that he was a 26-year-old. We have, however, since then been to the house where the arrest was made and his uncle talked to us. What the uncle said was that the man who was arrested as the fourth suspect in the disappearance of Natalee Holloway is named as Steve Croes and he's the deejay on the Tattoo Party Boat. That's the triple-deck catamaran that sails a little off the coast of Aruba. And young people will go there and party in the evenings.

But his uncle said that as far as he was concerned, Steve Croes was a good guy, was a quiet guy. We've also been down to the pier where the boat leaves from and talked to Steve Croes' employer, Marcus Williams (ph). Now when we talked to Marcus Williams, he hadn't been informed of the arrest at that stage. He also tells us that the boat itself, the triple deck catamaran known as the Tattoo Party Boat, has not been searched by police. Police have not informed him of anything. And it's not clear at this stage whether the boat may be searched, Kyra.

PHILLIPS: All right, Karl Penhaul with the latest there from Aruba.

Once again, CNN discovering, obviously, from Karl Penhaul that a fourth suspect is now in custody in that investigation. In addition, Karl not just talking to the uncle of that individual that has been arrested. He also had the chance to talk with Natalee Holloway's mother.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BETH HOLLOWAY TWITTY, NATALEE HOLLOWAY'S MOTHER: And I have waited and I have waited and I have waited and I have listened and I've heard lie after lie after lie unfold and I have to have some answers and I better get them soon.

PENHAUL: Why do you think they're lying to you? I just don't...

TWITTY: They're not lying to me. I don't know why they're lying to the authorities. I don't know why.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

PHILLIPS: We continue to follow that investigation and the search for Natalee Holloway in Aruba. More LIVE FROM, right after a quick break.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

PHILLIPS: Well, the second round of the U.S. Open swings into action. Two of the sport's British stars already gone, another popular player on the verge of a major meltdown.

CNN's Mark McKay keeping score at famed Pinehurst Golf Course. What happened to our buddy Phil, Mark? What's going on?

MARK MCKAY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Not a good day. Not at all. Phil Mickelson, as you may remember, came into the tournament, or at least came into this round just two shots off the lead. Well, after a forgettable second round in Pinehurst, now Lefty is plus six for the championship. How bad was Lefty's day? Let me tell you, he carded one birdie and eight bogeys in a plus 7 round. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

PHIL MICKELSON, PRO GOLFER: It's a tough course to turn things around, because you just can't make birdies. The more you try to make birdies, the more bogeys you're going to make. I wasn't really trying to make birdies, I was trying to just salvage pars and had a tough time doing it. It's a tough golf course.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

MCKAY: Now Corey Pavin is currently toiling on the fairways and greens at Pinehurst, number two. He's going to have an interesting story to tell. After finishing his first round Thursday, Pavin boarded a private jet, left North Carolina, then flew cross-country to California. Why? To watch his son Ryan graduate from high school. Pavin then flew back to Pinehurst and made his 12:37 tee time. Pavin, the 1995 U.S. Open champ, Kyra, said, it was either do that scenario or not play in the Open. He's a dedicated dad, don't you think?

PHILLIPS: Yes, indeed. You have to salute him for his commitment to family and to golf. Two of the greatest things on this earth. Mark McKay, thank you so much.

PHILLIPS: Well, look up in the sky. It's a bird, it's a plane. No, it's Captain Nicole Malachowski, the first female pilot to join the Air Force's famous Thunderbirds. Malachowski, who graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1996, will take the number three right-wing position in the famous Thunderbird flying diamond formation. The Thunderbirds, as you know, draw millions of spectators to air shows around the country each year and are a key recruiting team for the Air Force.

Well, she was the first American woman to ride into space. As part of CNN's anniversary series "Then and Now," we catch up with Sally Ride.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

SALLY RIDE, FIRST WOMAN ASTRONAUT: I'd like to be the first woman up.

MILES O'BRIEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): As a young girl with a passion for science and technology, it was always a dream of Sally Ride's to travel in space. The California native realized her dream not once, but twice. In 1983, she became America's first female astronaut.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Lift-off. Lift-off of FDF-7 (ph) and America's first woman astronaut.

O'BRIEN: As the member of the Shuttle Challenger's crew, she conducted experiments in communications, medicine and Earth environment. Sally flew again on Challenger a year later. Her plans for a third trip were halted when the spacecraft exploded in 1986, killing all onboard.

Today she is using her love of science to motivate others.

RIDE: Things like Toy Challenge and other activities like that can show kids and especially girls that, you know, engineering is different than they thought.

O'BRIEN: Through her organization Sally Ride Science, she gives students, especially girls, opportunities to participate in camps, science festivals and challenge events. This space legend hopes to make it just a little easier for today's girls to see their sky-high dreams, like hers, become a reality.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It was wonderful to see the videotape after, just to go back and relive a little bit of the experience.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

PHILLIPS: But is it an experience that fewer and fewer moms will be able to enjoy? Up next, the battle over cameras in delivery rooms. Why some doctors want to keep them out.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

PHILLIPS: Well, in past generations dads-to-be were sent to the kitchen to boil water and left to pace the waiting room. Now thanks to video cameras, many people have assumed the important role of documenting the very first moments of their baby's life.

CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta says that many hospital are discouraging that practice. Some are even banning the papa-razzi.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN SR. MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Michael Galindo works as a photographer, so when his son Jonah was born a month ago, he and his wife knew well in advance they wanted to videotape the event.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It was wonderful to see the videotape after, just to go back and relive a little bit of the experience.

GUPTA: Lucky for them, the hospital they went to allowed it. Michael says it would have been a red flag to him if they said no.

MICHAEL GALINDO, NEW DAD: Knowing that staff would not want to have pictures or videotape taken, I would be concerned about the level of care. That would have been brought up.

GUPTA: But increasingly, many hospitals around the country are banning the practice, concerned over liability that the videotape could be used against doctors if something goes wrong. Some hospitals let the doctors decide if they want to allow it. Most who do allow it say the parents must agree to certain perimeters in advance. RENE ZELKIN, INVOVA FAIRFAX HOSPITAL: If there's any complications or the physician requested, it would be turned off.

GUPTA: In fact, every doctor we talked to said if complications arise, they will ask the parents to stop taping so they can tend to the medical needs of the mother and baby without any distraction.

GALINDO: It took a little common sense on daddy's part, realizing that the doctors have to do what they need to do and the baby's health and mother's health comes first. And if you can understand that balance, it can be a beautiful combination.

GUPTA: None of the hospitals we talked to that have banned the practice would talk to us about it on camera. The Galindo's baby was born at Holy Cross Hospital outside Washington, D.C. That hospital still allows parents to videotape their delivery, but doctors there understand why some of their colleagues elsewhere are banning it.

DR. MARY HEATHER SINE, HOLY CROSS HOSPITAL: We don't appreciate having that extra pressure on us. We don't want to have to worry about who is in the way, if the camera is in the way when we're focusing on the patient.

GUPTA: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has no official position on the issue, but say doctors and patients should come to an agreement before the big day. The American Medical Association does not have an official stance, either, and wouldn't comment to this story. But its president, an obstetrician, has said he banned the practice with his patients.

Michael Galindo says having that video of Jonah's birth is something they will treasure forever.

GALINDO: One of the greatest pictures I got was when the baby and mom exchanged first glances. And those kinds of photos are priceless.

GUPTA: Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN, reporting.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

PHILLIPS: I want to continue to update you, of course, on the story that we've been following out of Aruba, the investigation into what happened to Natalee Holloway. We reported not long ago that a fourth suspect is now in custody. A 26-year-old by the name of Steve Croes. He was picked up at this home in Aruba by police, and according to his uncle, that our Karl Penhaul just talked to not long ago, he said that he's a former police officer and he was surprised that police came to his home and arrested or -- rather, took into custody his nephew.

Once again, 26-year-old Steve Croes in custody now for the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, a deejay on a party boat by the name of "Tattoo." Once again, we continue to follow new developments in the search for Natalee Holloway and the investigation taking place in Aruba. Straight ahead, a discovery made inside the home of a convicted child molester has California police wondering if hundreds of children may have been victimized by one man.

In the next hour of LIVE FROM, I'll speak with the police officer who arrested the 63-year-old suspect.

CNN's Mark McKay keeping score at famed Pinehurst Golf Course. What happened to our buddy Phil, Mark? What's going on?

MARK MCKAY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Not a good day. Not at all. Phil Mickelson, as you may remember, came into the tournament, or at least came into this round just two shots off the lead. Well, after a forgettable second round in Pinehurst, now Lefty is plus six for the championship. How bad was Lefty's day? Let me tell you, he carded one birdie and eight bogeys in a plus 7 round.

After finishing his first round Thursday, Pavin boarded a private jet, left North Carolina, then flew cross-country to California. Why? To watch his son Ryan graduate from high school. Pavin then flew back to Pinehurst and made his 12:37 tee time. Pavin, the 1995 U.S. Open champ, Kyra, said, it was either do that scenario or not play in the Open. He's a dedicated dad, don't you think?

PHILLIPS: Yes, indeed. You have to salute him for his commitment to family and to golf. Two of the greatest things on this earth. Mark McKay, thank you so much.

PHILLIPS: Well, look up in the sky. It's a bird, it's a plane. No, it's Captain Nicole Malachowski, the first female pilot to join the Air Force's famous Thunderbirds. Malachowski, who graduated from the Air Force Academy in 1996, will take the number three right-wing position in the famous Thunderbird flying diamond formation. The Thunderbirds, as you know, draw millions of spectators to air shows around the country each year and are a key recruiting team for the Air Force.

Well, she was the first American woman to ride into space. As part of CNN's anniversary series "Then and Now," we catch up with Sally Ride.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

SALLY RIDE, FIRST WOMAN ASTRONAUT: I'd like to be the first woman up.

MILES O'BRIEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): As a young girl with a passion for science and technology, it was always a dream of Sally Ride's to travel in space. The California native realized her dream not once, but twice. In 1983, she became America's first female astronaut.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Lift-off. Lift-off of FDF-7 (ph) and America's first woman astronaut.

O'BRIEN: As the member of the Shuttle Challenger's crew, she conducted experiments in communications, medicine and Earth environment. Sally flew again on Challenger a year later. Her plans for a third trip were halted when the spacecraft exploded in 1986, killing all onboard.

Today she is using her love of science to motivate others.

RIDE: Things like Toy Challenge and other activities like that can show kids and especially girls that, you know, engineering is different than they thought.

O'BRIEN: Through her organization Sally Ride Science, she gives students, especially girls, opportunities to participate in camps, science festivals and challenge events. This space legend hopes to make it just a little easier for today's girls to see their sky-high dreams, like hers, become a reality.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It was wonderful to see the videotape after, just to go back and relive a little bit of the experience.

PHILLIPS: But is it an experience that fewer and fewer moms will be able to enjoy? Up next, the battle over cameras in delivery rooms. Why some doctors want to keep them out.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

PHILLIPS: Well, in past generations dads-to-be were sent to the kitchen to boil water and left to pace the waiting room. Now thanks to video cameras, many people have assumed the important role of documenting the very first moments of their baby's life.

CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta says that many hospital are discouraging that practice. Some are even banning the papa-razzi.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DR. SANJAY GUPTA, CNN SR. MEDICAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Michael Galindo works as a photographer, so when his son Jonah was born a month ago, he and his wife knew well in advance they wanted to videotape the event.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It was wonderful to see the videotape after, just to go back and relive a little bit of the experience.

GUPTA: Lucky for them, the hospital they went to allowed it. Michael says it would have been a red flag to him if they said no.

MICHAEL GALINDO, NEW DAD: Knowing that staff would not want to have pictures or videotape taken, I would be concerned about the level of care. That would have been brought up.

GUPTA: But increasingly, many hospitals around the country are banning the practice, concerned over liability that the videotape could be used against doctors if something goes wrong. Some hospitals let the doctors decide if they want to allow it. Most who do allow it say the parents must agree to certain perimeters in advance. RENE ZELKIN, INVOVA FAIRFAX HOSPITAL: If there's any complications or the physician requested, it would be turned off.

GUPTA: In fact, every doctor we talked to said if complications arise, they will ask the parents to stop taping so they can tend to the medical needs of the mother and baby without any distraction.

GALINDO: It took a little common sense on daddy's part, realizing that the doctors have to do what they need to do and the baby's health and mother's health comes first. And if you can understand that balance, it can be a beautiful combination.

GUPTA: None of the hospitals we talked to that have banned the practice would talk to us about it on camera. The Galindo's baby was born at Holy Cross Hospital outside Washington, D.C. That hospital still allows parents to videotape their delivery, but doctors there understand why some of their colleagues elsewhere are banning it.

DR. MARY HEATHER SINE, HOLY CROSS HOSPITAL: We don't appreciate having that extra pressure on us. We don't want to have to worry about who is in the way, if the camera is in the way when we're focusing on the patient.

GUPTA: The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists has no official position on the issue, but say doctors and patients should come to an agreement before the big day. The American Medical Association does not have an official stance, either, and wouldn't comment to this story. But its president, an obstetrician, has said he banned the practice with his patients.

Michael Galindo says having that video of Jonah's birth is something they will treasure forever.

GALINDO: One of the greatest pictures I got was when the baby and mom exchanged first glances. And those kinds of photos are priceless.

GUPTA: Dr. Sanjay Gupta, CNN, reporting.

PHILLIPS: I want to continue to update you, of course, on the story that we've been following out of Aruba, the investigation into what happened to Natalee Holloway. We reported not long ago that a fourth suspect is now in custody. A 26-year-old by the name of Steve Croes. He was picked up at this home in Aruba by police, and according to his uncle, that our Karl Penhaul just talked to not long ago, he said that he's a former police officer and he was surprised that police came to his home and arrested or -- rather, took into custody his nephew.

Once again, 26-year-old Steve Croes in custody now for the disappearance of Natalee Holloway, a deejay on a party boat by the name of "Tattoo." Once again, we continue to follow new developments in the search for Natalee Holloway and the investigation taking place in Aruba. Straight ahead, a discovery made inside the home of a convicted child molester has California police wondering if hundreds of children may have been victimized by one man.

In the next hour of LIVE FROM, I'll speak with the police officer who arrested the 63-year-old suspect.
