Shuttle Mission Extended; London Police Search for Suspected Bombers' Accomplices
Aired July 31, 2005 - 07:00 ET
THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
TONY HARRIS, CNN ANCHOR: Mission extended. The astronauts get an extra day of work in space, while NASA declares the shuttle is safe for the return flight home.
From the CNN Center in Atlanta, this is CNN SUNDAY MORNING. It is July 31st. July gone.
BETTY NGUYEN, CNN ANCHOR: Last day.
HARRIS: Buh-bye July.
NGUYEN: Get it while it lasts.
HARRIS: Good morning, everyone, I'm Tony Harris.
NGUYEN: And I'm Betty Nguyen. 7:00 a.m. at Kennedy Space Center. 6:00 a.m. at the Johnson Space Center. CNN Space correspondent Miles O'Brien joins us with more on the shuttle mission in just a minute.
But first, let's catch you up on the news overnight. Earlier this morning in Iraq, insurgents remotely detonated a car bomb as an Iraqi police patrol passed by. At least five people were killed and 10 wounded. The bomb exploded on a road about 40 miles south of Baghdad.
Washington has gotten an eviction notice in effect from a central Asian military base that's played a big role in the role on terror. Uzbekistan says the U.S. will have to end its use of the K-2 Airfield within the next six months.
Now the base has been used for missions in and out of neighboring Afghanistan. The U.S. had previously criticized Uzbekistan for its human rights record.
A couple of hours from now, traffic on San Francisco's Golden Gate bridge will likely be bumper to bumper and shoulder to shoulder. For the first time in eight years, the city's marathon will funnel across the landmark stand. Two northbound lanes will be handed over to runners. So patience out there, drivers.
HARRIS: Yes, yes, good advice. And coming up this hour in London, some bombing suspects have been rounded up, but where are the people who helped them? Might they be off planning more attacks? We'll have the latest. And keeping track of sex offenders by zip code. We'll take you to one zip code where the residents are getting a bit uneasy. It's from the CNN investigative unit. And you've heard about Saddam Hussein's alleged crimes against his countrymen. Now meet some of the men who say they were among the victims. It's a story you'll see only on CNN.
NGUYEN: A longer mission. We begin this hour with the space shuttle and the decision to push back its return to earth. NASA says the one day extension is not directly linked to safety concerns from the launch.
This morning, the crew awoke to an ever growing list of chores to do.
(MUSIC)
And they are staying up. CNN space correspondent Miles O'Brien is following the latest developments and joins us now from New York.
Miles, extended by one day to do more work. What kind of work are we talking about?
MILES O'BRIEN, CNN SPACE CORRESPONDENT: Well, this is really all about office supplies, Betty. And when you say it isn't directly related to the safety concerns on launch, it is sort of related in the sense that NASA has to presume there won't be a shuttle coming to the space station for a little while, until they work out the problems with that external fuel tank.
That extra big piece of foam that fell off after launch has effectively grounded the fleet until they can come up with a fix. So you have to assume the shuttle won't be back as quickly as they had hoped.
And so, what they will do is kind of rifle through the shuttle and grab as many office supplies, floppy disks, some laptop computers, any sort of extra supplies. They'll generate some additional water, because the shuttle in generating its electricity, makes water. All of those things -- everything they can think of will be left on the space station, just so they have a few more -- a little more margin up there.
NGUYEN: (INAUDIBLE) day. Is that going to detail what kind of damage, if any, was done to the shuttle because of the launch and all that happened since then?
O'BRIEN: Yes, that survey is really important obviously in the wake of Columbia. As we all remember 2.5 years ago, that big piece of foam striking the leading edge of Columbia. There you see the big piece of foam that fell off of Discovery on launch just a few days ago.
And as a result, they have conducted a very comprehensive photographic and laser survey of the exterior of Discovery. They're not quite done with that yet, but every indication so far is that things are good. There's a few little bumps that were caused by these so-called gap fillers between the 20,000 tiles that kind of stick out.
But just a few moments ago, the commander, Eileen Collins, was asked if she feels pretty confident Discovery is fit to come home.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
EILEEN COLLINS, SHUTTLE COMMANDER: We feel very confident in that we've been training for these survey procedures for -- it's been over a year now. And we've had two different kinds of lasers and more cameras. They are looking at the shuttle from many different perspectives. And we know that we're confident in coming home.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
O'BRIEN: So just to sum up on that. The shuttle is not completely damage free, but no one expected that. What they've seen thus far are the kinds of little dings and dents and problems with the gap filler that they've seen over the course of the program, stuff that is certainly survivable -- Betty?
NGUYEN: And it's cleared for re-entry. But before they get home, we got to talk about -- they still have a lot of work to do. There's another space walk on Monday. What's going to happen then?
O'BRIEN: Well, that's an important one. You know, yesterday, they did a space walk where they were trying out some techniques for repairing -- kind of doing a high tech bondo on that heat shield in space.
NGUYEN: With spatulas and caulk guns.
O'BRIEN: Yes. Did you see -- it looked really hard trying to do that with those big bulky gloves. Imagine trying to do that in -- you know, with -- in weightlessness with those gloves on. That's a hard task.
This next task is really important for the space station. They've got these gyroscopes that sit on the outside, four of them, which keep it flying straight and level, so to speak. And they have been a real problem for the space station.
Essentially, going to put a new one on. They've hot wired another one. And at the end of the day, they hope to have four operative ones, which will give them plenty of margin on that front, too.
So that'll happen on Monday. Actually, probably while most of us are sleeping, but not me.
NGUYEN: Not you. No, not our space guy. Miles, thank you. It's all so fascinating. We appreciate your insight.
O'BRIEN: All right.
HARRIS: London police are in a race against time. They have several bombing suspects in custody. Now they are scrambling to track down accomplices who may be on the run and possibly planning more attacks.
CNN's Chris Burns joins us from London with the latest on the investigation. Good morning, Chris.
CHRIS BURNS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Tony, they're also working against the clock because they have only 14 days before they have to free or charge some dozen people they have arrested, including a number of those failed bombers -- attempted bombers from the July 21st attacks.
They also, of course, as you say, are trying to prevent what could be the next attack. Now in Italy, there's a gentleman by the name of Osman Hussain. He is -- Osman Hussain is accused as one of those who tried to bomb the subway back on July 21st. Here his picture here in the reports in British media, quoting what's coming out Italy, saying that he is telling authorities that the main reason why they tried to bomb the subways and the bus back on July 21st was because of the Iraqi conflict.
Because they saw videos of women and children being killed there, that they were trying to retaliate for that. And he's also pointing a finger at one of the others accused in the July 21st failed attacks, Muktar Said Ibrahim, pointing to him as a possible ring leader, saying that he was the one who showed them the videos. He was the one who showed them how to build the bombs.
Now we do have also conflicting reports as to whether he's saying that they tried to kill themselves and blow themselves up, or whether this was just an attempt to call attention and not to blow themselves up. That's what's very, very questionable.
Also coming out of Italy, authorities are saying that they have arrested the brother of Osman Hussain. His name identified as Fahti. They arrested in northern Italy yesterday, accusing him of trying to destroy documents that authorities are trying to get ahold of.
And out of Zambia, authorities there are holding a gentleman by the name of Haroon Rashid Aswat, British born man. The British Foreign Office is saying that they want to have at least consular contact with him. It is widely believed the British will try to get him extradited.
He is seen as the man who had some kind of links to the deadly July 7th attacks that killed more than 50 people here in London. And he's also accused of having tried to set up an al Qaeda training camp in Oregon. So the U.S. would also like to get its hands on him -- Tony?
HARRIS: Arrests all over the place. Chris Burns for us from London this morning. Chris, thank you.
NGUYEN: Now to Iraq. Earlier this month, an Iraqi tribunal filed the first charges against Saddam Hussein. They stem from the killings of Shiite Muslims in the village of Dujail in 1982. Now it followed a failed assassination attempt.
In a report you can see only here on CNN, our Aneesh Raman traveled to the town to hear from the survivors.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
ANEESH RAMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It is on this road where Saddam Hussein's past and present collide. In a matter of months, he is set to face trial for what he did here in the small town of Dujail and the lives he destroyed among these remaining residents. In 1982, they were just kids and Saddam maintained a steel grip of Iraq, touring villages that were forced to show allegiance. On July 8th, it was Dujail's turn. A Shiite dominated village in the midst of the Sunni Triangle, resentment here simmering underneath.
SHEIKH IBRAHIM, DUJAIL RESIDENT (through translator): An operation was planned by more than 15 members of our mujahidin. We had been meeting for months before.
RAMAN: Sheik Ibrahim, at the time only 15, was part of a group of young men in Dujail committed to fighting Saddam's oppression, waiting for the right moment. It came that July morning. Saddam paid a visit. an ambush was hastily planned. On this road six men sought to kill the tie land. Mohammad Ali drove one of the shooters, Hassan, to the scene.
MOHAMMED ALI, DUJAIL RESIDENT (through translator): Hasan came to me. I took him on my motorcycle. I remember he was carrying two pistols. We drove through orchards. looking for other men. But we only saw two. Hassan shot with his pistol to give the group a sign to start shooting at Saddam.
When the convoy reached the orchards three gunmen started shooting at his convoy from the left side. Saddam's guards started shooting back.
RAMAN: The dictator narrowly escaped and within hours, hell descended upon Dujail. Thousands of innocent villagers, like Ali, who was 14 at the time, were thrown in jail, tortured, many others executed and Dujail itself was destroyed. The men chose an area that once blossomed with orchards where those gunmen hid that fateful day. Saddam sent in bulldozers to clear the ground, wiping out homes in the process and sending a message to anyone who dared pose a challenge to his regime.
These men, like Ali, are lucky, sent to prison for four years, but still alive. Tortured, though, by the memory. Ali never found out what happened to his brothers, also taken into custody -- until after the war when he discovered evidence confirming the worst.
ALI HAIDARY, DUJAIL RESIDENT (through translator): I found a document signed by Saddam in 1985 to execute some of the Dujail people with us in prison. 149 people, including seven of my brothers, 34 of my relatives and 118 people of my town. They are now for God. To God they have returned.
RAHMAN: In sheer numbers, Dujail is not nearly the worst of Saddam's atrocities. But that's of no consequence to the villagers.
IBRAHIM: Saddam should be executed immediately for this. Because he killed and executed too many.
RAHMAN: And now, justice may finally come to Dujail, perhaps 23 years too late, but sooner than anyone here could have imagined.
Aneesh Rahman, CNN, Dujail, Iraq.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
NGUYEN: And so far, no date has been set for Saddam's trial, but we expect an announcement within the next few days. The former Iraqi dictator had his latest court hearing last week in Baghdad.
HARRIS: Drought, famine, and poverty. Desperate people trying to survive, hoping for a little bit of rain and a little food to keep their families alive. We'll take you to a village in Niger later this hour.
NGUYEN: Also, zip code 33311 looks like an ideal community. So why are residents so startled about why some of their neighbors or who some of those neighbors are? CNN investigates next.
BRAD HUFFINES, CNN METEOROLOGIST: And good morning, Chicago, your seeing some scattered showers coming your way from the west. Temperatures are getting warmer. And now you're looking outside at the clouds moving in with a few sprinkles. Not just Chicago's forecast, but the rest of the country in just over 10 minutes, as CNN SUNDAY MORNING continues.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HARRIS: And our top stories this morning. NASA extends shuttle Discovery's mission to the space station by one day to August 8th. Astronauts are busy off loading tons of supplies and collecting more than two years worth of trash. And they're experimenting with methods to repair thermal tiles on the shuttle. In Iraq, five dead and 10 more wounded in an attack south of Baghdad. A remote controlled car bomb targeted an Iraqi police patrol early today. Two Iraqi policeman are among the wounded.
The lawyer for suspect in the failed July 21st bombings in London says he may fight extradition from Italy. Osman Hussain was arrested in Rome Friday. Italian media are reporting that Hussain said it was only intended to be an attention grabbing strike, not deadly one.
Now to our e-mail question this morning. Scientists say the object discovered on the edges of the solar system a few years ago is big enough to be called a planet. Well right now, it's called 2003-U- B-313. Well, that's not very inspiring, is it?
So we're asking you. What would you call this new planet? E- mail us as weekends@cnn.com.
NGUYEN: And CNN's investigative unit spotlights this morning the Justice Department's new national sex offender registry. There are more than half a million sex offenders listed on Web sites maintained by each state. Right now, though, just 22 states are included on that national registry.
Randi Kaye checks out one Florida zip code, where sex offenders double the state average.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
RANDI KAYE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): So you just found out a few weeks ago that there were...
NOREEN WILLIAMS, 33311 RESIDENT: About three weeks ago that they were in our neighborhood.
KAYE (voice-over): Noreen Williams is a grandmother of five living in Broward County, Florida. Zip code 33311.
WILLIAMS: Say hi, bird.
KAYE: Noreen never paid much attention to the numbers until she learned her zip code has more sex offenders living on their own than anywhere else in Florida.
WILLIAMS: I think it's a horror, total horror that so many in one particular area.
KAYE: One hundred twenty two sex offenders live here. That's more than double the number of offenders found in neighboring zip codes. State law requires residents be notified only when violent repeat offenders move in.
How did you feel before you found this information out about your neighborhood?
WILLIAMS: I was a little bit more relaxed. I'm not that relaxed now.
KAYE: Noreen's grandchildren are no longer allowed to play in the front yard alone.
WILLIAMS: It just means they just don't open this and walk out. And nobody just don't open it and come in.
KAYE: And in the backyard, new four legged protection.
We did some checking with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement and found 34 sex offenders living within one mile of Noreen Williams home. One of them lives right up the street, just two blocks away.
WILLIAMS: I had a fear, especially for my little girl, for my little granddaughter. I need to protect her, Nyeema.
KAYE: When your grandma first told you that you need to be careful in the neighborhood when -- about other men, what -- how did you feel?
NYEEMA DEMETRIUS, WILLIAMS GRANDDAUGHTER: I felt scared. KAYE: What has happened here in 33311? Has it become a dumping ground, in your opinion, for sexual offenders?
DON BOWEN, URBAN LEAGUE OF BROWARD CO.: I don't know that I would necessarily characterize it as a dumping ground, although whether it's intentional or not, that may be the unintended consequence.
KAYE: 33311 is one of the poorest communities in Florida. Because of its proximity to the turnpike, housing is inexpensive here, making it attractive to those fresh out of prison. Many offenders also come here to live with their families.
Parts of 33311 are in six cities. Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale Lakes, Lauderhill, Oakland Park, Plantation, and Wilton Manor. Plus, a piece of unincorporated Broward County.
While nearby communities have successfully passed ordinances to restrict offenders from moving in, getting a uniform policy across zip code 33311 would require action in seven different municipalities.
You worry about these kids on the street with these sexual offenders living in the area.
BOWEN: Of course you worry about it, because you have well over 20,000 school aged kids in the zip code. And many of them live within two miles of the school that they attend, which means that they're not bussed, that they would walk unless somebody drives them.
So I mean, they're passing at least the addresses where sexual offenders and predators live.
LIN: Back in Noreen's neighborhood, I knocked on the door of one convicted sex offender. He wasn't home. I couldn't help but notice the children's toys scattered in the yard.
Are there children that live here?
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: No.
WILLIAMS: That's the shocking thing that it is so close to our children.
KAYE: So close and so many residents still unaware.
WILLIAMS: If I have to go around with a bullhorn and let them know, I will.
KAYE: Randi Kaye, CNN, Broward County, Florida.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
NGUYEN: And we will have another investigative unit spotlight for you next Sunday morning -- Tony?
HARRIS: From drought to locust plagues, the challenge to stay alive in this impoverished nation has the charity community begging for international help. We will take you to a village in Niger, where children are happy when they have enough leaves for stew.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HARRIS: I think that's Tony Bennett's version.
NGUYEN: Makes you want to stay in bed all day on a Sunday, doesn't it?
HUFFINES: Go to sleep.
NGUYEN: I know.
HUFFINES: That's great stuff.
(WEATHER REPORT)
HARRIS: Sweat.
NGUYEN: Yes, I was going to say that's what you see when the temperatures rise. We have the answer to that, Brad.
All right, now we're going to talk about scientists, because they claim, Tony...
HARRIS: Yes.
NGUYEN: ...that the object discovered in the solar system just a few years ago is big enough to be called a planet.
HARRIS: We can't call it a planet yet.
NGUYEN: Well, because it's not -- they're just...
HARRIS: Well, here's the thing. The world's astronomers have to come together...
NGUYEN: Tony's breaking it down for you.
HARRIS: No, no, here's the deal. They have to all come together. And they have to agree.
NGUYEN: A consensus on whether it's a planet or not.
HARRIS: Exactly. And then they have to name it. But so the moment that we have the white smoke...
NGUYEN: We could be waiting for a while, right? Is it white? Is it gray? Well, we don't know if it's a planet just yet, but it might be. So...
HARRIS: So here's our e-mail question. Let's assume that it is a planet. Here's the question. It is currently kind of named 2003-U- B-313. Looks like -- something on the...
NGUYEN: Very scientific.
HARRIS: ...on an appliance or something, doesn't it? What would you name the new planet? E-mail us your thoughts, your suggestions at weekends@cnn.com. We'll be back right after this.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
NGUYEN: This is a long awaited dinner that's finally put smiles on the faces of these six children and their money or their mother I should say. The money should be coming in hopefully with the aid and all that's needed in the area. We are going to be talking about Niger coming up. But first we want to welcome you back. I'm Betty Nguyen.
HARRIS: And I'm Tony Harris. A glimpse of life in the famine- stricken Niger in a minute, but first a look at headlines now in the news.
Astronauts aboard the shuttle Discovery will stay in space and extra day. NASA says it will give them more time to transfer supplies and work on the international space station. The crew will now return August 8th. CNN's Miles O'Brien will interview the shuttle astronauts this morning. Tune in at 9:00 Eastern for that.
London police fear terrorists are planning more attacks. They're questioning dozens of people trying to find out who planned and provided the bombs for both July attacks. Meanwhile, all four men believed responsible for the July 21st botched bombings are in custody and British authorities are still trying to extradite the suspect who was arrested in Rome.
Three times seemed to be the charm after two postponements. President Bush is finally due to visit the Boy Scout jamboree in Virginia this evening. The president will recognize the four scout leaders killed Monday when they tent they were setting up touched overhead power lines.
NGUYEN: As we just mentioned just moments ago, the devastation epic in proportion, the relief effort extreme in purpose. Right now, the African county of Niger is ground zero in the battle against hunger with many nations trying to stop a humanitarian catastrophe. If more than one million people don't receive food and soon, they could die of starvation. Now, yesterday, we brought you a look at one village in Niger. Today, a glimpse of every day life in another. Here's CNN's Jeff Koinange.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
JEFF KOINANGE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The village of Sarki Yamma on the southern edge of Niger is a place steeped in tradition and folklore. Religion plays an integral part of every day life. Traditions date back centuries. Time seems to have stood still. It is a place where men simply sit while women work the land, women like 42-year-old Bar Kasani (ph). The mother of six knows what it's like to go to bed hungry. Her country is facing its worst famine in recent history. Thousands have already died. Millions more are threatened. Kasani says every day is an uphill battle. Life is very difficult these days. All we are doing is trying to live one day at a time she says. Kasani used to belong to a community of small skilled farmers who would take turns tilling each other's land and in that way share the profits, as well as shoulder the losses. Two consecutive years without rain and a devastating locust invasion last year made life for Kasani and her fellow farmers even more difficult than usual. We lost everything, everything, she says. Now she's back tilling her own plot of land aided by her children and in-laws.
Across this harsh and unforgiving land, many are living hand to mouth wondering when the rains will come, when the suffering will stop.
(on camera): Now on an average year in any one of these typical fields, these millet stalks would be about two meters high, way above my head. Now, they're just below my knees an indicator the famine is far from over. And in a country ranked among the poorest in the world, where illiteracy high, finding work outside the farms is tough. Many women collect firewood to sell as an alternative source of income, even though it buys just a little food. In the marketplaces of towns like Maradi, food is plentiful but many here simply can't afford to pay the high prices.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is sad. It is difficult. It is really catastrophic.
KOINANGE: It is an on going irony in this land of contradictions. No rains, no harvests, no work, no money, a land where people farm despite the famine. People Bar Kasani. Today she is making leaves from a local vegetable which she'll mix with powdered (INAUDIBLE) to make a stew. It is just enough to keep her six children smiling in a land where millions go to bed hungry every night. Jeff Koinange, CNN, Sarki Yamma, Niger.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
NGUYEN: So, how can you help? Well, you can start with these phone numbers that are on your screen. You can reach UNICEF at 1-800- 486-4233. The emergency group Care can be reached at 1-800-267-5232. Now, for the United Nations world food program, you can call 202-530- 1694. And for the group Concern Worldwide, that number 212-557-8000. We'll be showing those numbers a little bit later if you didn't have a chance to jot those down. We do want to tell you, be sure to stay tuned with us this morning because about two hours from now, in our 9:00 a.m. hour, we will be joined by the director of emergency group Care to talk about the crisis, the crisis in Niger. And because this is such an important story, CNN is devoting important resources to it. Tomorrow and Tuesday, CNN anchor Anderson Cooper will report live from Niger. You can watch him on Anderson Cooper's 360. That's tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. Eastern.
HARRIS: And time now to check in with our international desk for some of the other stories making news around the world.
NGUYEN: New stories in from western India which, talking about pain and suffering, a new development in the Iranian nuclear talks, as well. There's a lot on the table today and Anand Naidoo is here to sort it all out. Good morning Anand.
ANAND NAIDOO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning Tony, Betty. Yes, there is a lot on the table and we are first off to India. If there's anything that the Indian city of Mumbai can do without it's more rain, but after record breaking rain fall this past week, it is coming down again. Hundreds of people have already been killed in landslides. For the latest, we are joined now on the videophone by CNN's Satinder Bindra. Satinder.
SATINDER BINDRA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Anand, yes, record rain here. It's been raining nonstop for almost a week. A thousand people already dead and I'm sure you can hear the rains. This morning, it was raining so heavily that the police put out an advisory warning people to stay indoors. Even the airport had to be shut down for a while and all flights that were scheduled to land in India's financial capital, Mumbai had to be diverted to New Delhi. Even the rail network had to be stopped for a while.
And in the northern parts of the city, the water levels rose alarmingly in some parts of the north. Water levels were almost as high as seven feet. Now people here are getting increasingly angry and concerned. Many residents still don't have water and they still don't have power. The biggest fear is the spread of disease. Tens of thousands of animals were killed. They drowned in the flooding. Their bodies still haven't been picked up, so health authorities quite concerned about that. Anand.
NAIDOO: Thank you Satinder, Satinder Bindra there talking to us from Mumbai.
Now on to Iran's nuclear program. It's been in the news a lot recently. There's been a new development. Iran is threatening to resume nuclear activities if the EU doesn't meet a Monday deadline to come up with proposals to resolve the issue. The European nations are leading the attempt to try to stop the program. Some nations including the United States suspect Iran is trying to build nuclear weapons. The European nations want more time to submit proposals, but Iran says it will not wait any longer. Betty?
NGUYEN: Heard of the luck of the Irish, right? What is this that we're hearing about a lucky Irish woman? This is one lucky woman.
NAIDOO: Well, you said it, talk about the luck of the Irish. There's an Irish woman this morning I can tell you who may have one huge hangover. That is OK. She's earned it. Dolores McNamara has scooped one of Europe's biggest lottery prices, almost $140 million.
NGUYEN: Wow!
NAIDOO: Now, when the draw was made, she was in the pub. Where else would any good self respecting Irish person be?
NGUYEN: Anand! NAIDOO: And when her numbers came up, she just -- we are told burst out crying. But I suspect she probably bought a round of Guinness first and then...
NGUYEN: For the whole house.
HARRIS: Believe that. Oh, yeah.
NGUYEN: Maybe that's why we're not so lucky. We need to hang out in pubs more often. Maybe we'll win.
HARRIS: Hang out in more banks, OK.
NGUYEN: That's the key. Anand, thank you.
HARRIS: Finding a new life after barely escaping death.
NGUYEN: Meet a 26-year-old just back from his mission in Iraq. These days, he's learning how to walk again. That is our hero's story next on CNN SUNDAY MORNING.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
NGUYEN: Checking our top stories right now, in case you're just waking up with us, here's a look. The space shuttle "Discovery's" mission is going so well, it's been booked for an extra night. NASA has extended the current mission until Monday, August 8th. Our own Miles O'Brien will be talking to the shuttle crew in the 9:00 hour of CNN SUNDAY MORNING, so stay right here.
Also, a remote controlled car bomb killed five people about 40 miles south of Baghdad this morning. Police say the explosion targeted an Iraqi police patrol. Two of the 10 people wounded are Iraqi policemen.
And police in Britain are working to extradite a bombing suspect from Rome. A European arrest warrant has been issued for Hussain Osman. He is one of the four men police initially sought after July 21st bombing attempts.
And you don't want to forget about our e-mail question this morning. Here it is. Scientists claim an object they discovered in the solar system is big enough to be called a planet. Now if that is the case, what would you call this new planet? And please, something better than the jumble of letters and numbers that scientists are calling it right now, that 2003-U-B313. What is that? What kind of name is that? You can do better. E-mail us at weekends@cnn.com.
HARRIS: The death toll among American troops in Iraq doesn't tell the whole story. Thousands of soldiers have been seriously wounded while serving. Many are back in the states now trying to move on with life in spite of their injuries. Lisa Sylvester brings us this week's hero story.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) LISA SYLVESTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Twenty-six year old Kevin Pannell is upbeat, friendly and self confident. He's also a double amputee. He lost both legs while serving with the first cavalry division in Iraq. His job was one of the most difficult, patrolling on foot in a dangerous section of downtown Baghdad. On Friday, June 13th last year, his squad was moving down an alley when insurgents lobbed three grenades at the soldiers. Two grenades landed at Pannell's feet.
KEVIN PANNELL, FORMER SOLDIER: I remember seeing the blast all around me and to the sides and in front of me. It was just the dust and stuff that was kicked up from it. It knocked me down. I stood right back up.
SYLVESTER: But his legs were mangled. He was flown to Walter Reed Army Medical Center and began physical therapy, eventually being outfitted with prosthetic legs.
PANNELL: A person asked me one time if there was anything I would change about that day, what would it have been? That's actually, that's asking me to write somebody else's name on those grenades. I'd never do it, never.
SYLVESTER: Looking back, there is no heart ache for Pannell, only hope.
PANNELL: I tell everybody that June the 13th, 2004, was the worst day of my life and it was the best day of the rest of my life, you know, because it's changed so much for me. And just I'm a better person for it.
SYLVESTER: Pannell realized there was very little he could not do even without his legs. He completed his first marathon in Miami and took up skiing. He also became a public speaker as a member of the Amputee Coalition of America and returns to Walter Reed to help other wounded soldiers.
PANNELL: I was walking in less than three months and I got two of them things. It's not a big deal at all.
SYLVESTER: He stays optimistic by challenging himself to do more and be more now that he's had a second chance at life.
PANNELL: One door may have closed that day, but a million more have opened so I'm going to go check out some of those doors.

NGUYEN: Want to get your thoughts on our e-mail question this morning. So let's put it up again. Now scientists claim the object discovered in the solar system a few years ago is big enough to be called a planet. If that is the case, what would you call this new planet? It deserves a better name than 2003-U-B313 whatever that means. But send us what you think it should be called. Make it creative. We're going to read those replies next.
HARRIS: But first, a CNN extra. "Forbes" magazine releases its list of the world's most powerful women. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice heads the influential list. Number two is a woman you may not have heard of. It's China's vice premier, Yi Wu. Ukraine's Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko is the third most powerful woman in the world. Here's some other household names ranked on the list. Media mogul Oprah Winfrey ranks ninth. New York Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton rates the 26th spot and the first lady, Laura Bush, is 46th.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
HARRIS: Ahoy matey! Did that come off OK? Is it authentic enough?
NGUYEN: A little practiced.
HARRIS: Could pirates have actually partied at this Pennsylvania pad? Well, the house is in Marcus Hook. It dates back in the late 1600s. Archaeologists think it could have been home to Black Beard's mistress and it's possible pirates actually partied there.
NGUYEN: A party house for pirates. Who would have thought?
HARRIS: Well, they're excavating to find artifacts and so even think that there may be some buried treasure there. (INAUDIBLE)
NGUYEN: Or just some fool's gold. We don't know just yet. We'll get back to you on that. Brad's got the weather outside. That's no fool's gold. Hi, Brad.
HUFFINES: Arr, matey. Cool weather in the northeast is going to walk the plank this week?
HARRIS: You're scaring all of us.
HUFFINES: Johnny Depp, watch out, Johnny Depp, you're in trouble. I'm the next -- anyway, let me show you what's happening around the northeast, those scattered showers tomorrow. That will basically usher in not cooler temperatures, but the warmer weather as we see the warm temperatures in the plains start to build. Notice tomorrow's temperatures 90 in Denver and 90 degrees in Chicago tomorrow. Look then at the forecast as we begin to expand through the week. Temperatures are going to start climbing as this big warm mass of air basically starts to move to the northeast across the great lakes and the New England states in the next couple of days. So Boston, 73 today. By Tuesday, you'll be sweltering under 90 degrees heat.
In New York City, 81 today. The big apple becomes the baked apple on Tuesday with 90 degrees temperatures. D.C., temperatures are going to peak near 93 degrees by Tuesday. Good news is in the south, the clouds keep Atlanta in the low to mid-80s. So the hottest weather escaping the southeast. Chicago, 90 today, 93 by Monday and Tuesday and in Dallas, well, you're not going to escape the heat. It's going to not move. It's going to just expand off to the east. Temperatures just under or around 100 degrees the next few days, as well. Denver, 90 for today. Yesterday's high temperature, 101 degrees, pretty much ensured that your July of 2005 is going to be the second warmest on record and Denver and notice the temperatures are up and down, but in L.A., as usual, low to mid-70s all the entire week under a partly cloudy sky, weather looks fabulous out west. I think I'll call my agent, see if he can get me in the next pirate movie. The problem is I can't see well with one eye, guys.
NGUYEN: Pirates of the weather center I see. OK, thanks, Brad. HARRIS: Let's get to our e-mail question and some of the responses this hour. There's a mass, there's a big mass out there in space and some scientists identify and believe it may be large enough to qualify as the next planet. They don't have a name for it yet.
NGUYEN: Well, they do have a name but...
HARRIS: Well, that's not a name. It's a series of numbers. It's an identifier, right?
NGUYEN: Not a real name.
HARRIS: 2003-U-B313. If you could name it, what would you name it? Our first response comes from Sam who writes, I think it should be named after what component it is made out of this is good -- in memory of the shuttle Columbia.
NGUYEN: And we've got another viewer from Florida that writes, I think the new planet should be named Sagan in memory of Carl Sagan who enticed so many of us to go outside and really look up at the universe around us.
HARRIS: How about this from Keith, Campbellford, Ontario who writes, Mickey -- let me read this the right way here -- hey, Mickey, we already have Pluto.
NGUYEN: Well, there is some debate over whether Pluto is indeed a real planet.
HARRIS: So let's settle that first before we start R23C...
NGUYEN: That's what some people are arguing. I know scientists. Don't get me talking about science. This is for Miles.
HARRIS: Thank you for the e-mails. We'll get to more of them in the next hour of CNN SUNDAY MORNING which begins right now.
NGUYEN: Italian authorities make another arrest in the ongoing London bombing investigation. From the CNN center, this is CNN SUNDAY MORNING, last day of July, July 31st. It is 8 a.m. at CNN headquarters right here in Atlanta, 7 a.m. in the heartland.

Tips, intelligence and interrogation are helping London police unravel events that unfolded in the failed bombings 10 days ago. With suspects arrested in London and Rome, the investigators have their hands full. Now there's word of yet another arrest. Live now to CNN's Jennifer Eccleston in Rome.
Jennifer, good morning.
JENNIFER ECCLESTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Tony.
Well, sources close to the investigation of Hussain Osman, he's the suspected July 21st London bomber who was arrested here in Rome on Friday tell the Italian media that while he was under interrogation he actually confessed to carrying a bomb on the London Tube, but claimed it was not meant to be -- it was meant to be, rather, an attention grabbing strike and not meant to kill anyone.
Now, Osman, who the Italians say also goes by another name, Hamdi Issac, denied having any links to that July 7th Tube attack, which killed 56 people including the four bombers, and he said he had no links to al Qaeda.
Now the suspect is alleged to have told investigators that the ring leader of the failed attacks was Muktar Said Ibrahim, he's in custody now in London, and that they organized the bombing from a gym in central London and that the motivation for the attacks was anger over the war in Iraq.
Now the Italian media also is reporting that Osman said he received the back packs with the bombs and instructions on where to detonate them just one day before the attack. That would be July 20th. His court appointed lawyer said her client doesn't consider himself a terrorists and that he is likely to reject British calls for extradition.
Now if this is true, this could delay his possible return to the UK by up to two months.
Now also, as you mentioned earlier, police announcing that they've arrested another brother, the second brother of Osman in northern Italy on charges of destroying evidence. And as we know, another brother was arrested with Osman on Friday in Rome and he's being held for carrying false documents.
Tony.
HARRIS: Jennifer Eccleston in Rome for us. Jennifer, thank you.
NGUYEN: A former Soviet Republic has served an eviction notice on the U.S. government. Washington now has six months to vacate an air base that has played a big role in the war on terror. The U.S. used the K-2 airfield in Uzbekistan for missions in and out of neighboring Afghanistan and CNN's Elaine Quijano is at the White house and joins us with the latest on this eviction.
Elaine.
ELAINE QUIJANO, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hello to you, Betty.
There are less than 1,000 U.S. troops at that air base in Uzbekistan, but it is located in a prime spot just north of the country of Afghanistan, as you mentioned. It is a prime location to help the U.S. carry out operations in Afghanistan. The troops there mostly involved in refueling and cargo supply. But a State Department official confirms the Uzbek government sent a diplomatic note to the U.S. embassy in Tashkent to end the agreement for use of the K-2 or Karshi-Khanabad air base. The forces now have 180 days to leave. And while it is a blow to the U.S. military one official says the U.S. was not surprised by this move, had been expecting this and had already moved some operations out of that country ahead of the actual decision.
Military official also saying that K-2 is helpful, but not essential.
Now the news comes against a backdrop of tensions between the U.S. and Uzbekistan and illustrates some of the complexities the Bush administration is facing in carrying out the war on terrorism. The president has promoted freedom and democracy.
The U.S. has also voiced concerns about Uzbekistan's human rights record, but of course also relying on assistance from Uzbekistan the same country it has criticized. But now planning underway to withdraw the rest of the U.S. forces and equipment in time for the six month eviction deadline.
Betty.
NGUYEN: So basically this doesn't come as a surprise. I want to ask you about the president's trip yesterday. Of course he had his health checked and determined to be in superior shape, but he also met with some veterans and some Marines as well. Tell us about that meeting. QUIJANO: That's right. First of all, on his physical doctors -- actually a team of doctors pronouncing President Bush fit for the duty. This was his annual checkup at the National Naval Medical Center in suburban Washington. The team of doctors saying that his fitness level is superior for men of his age. The president 59 years old. We also learned the president lost about eight pounds since his last checkup and he had a non-cancerous skin growth frozen.
But as you mentioned, the president also took some time to meet with wounded Marines and their families. He met with about 14 Marines wounded in Iraq and their families, and also the family of a Marine injured in Afghanistan. That Marine actually had to be taken down to surgery, sot he president was not able to meet with him. But the president, you saw that picture a moment ago, awarding seven Purple Hearts. Afterwards calling these Marines courageous souls, calling them brave and said that the experience of visiting with them was remarkable.
Betty.
NGUYEN: I can imagine. CNN's Elaine Quijano at the White House. Thank you.

HARRIS: And there's this, daylight savings time is going to last a month longer than we're used to. The changes is included in a huge energy bill that President Bush is expected to sign. The revised plan would begin daylight saving time three weeks earlier on the second Sunday in March and extend it by one week to the first Sunday in November. The extension would begin in March of 2007.
NGUYEN: There is more to this man's music than a driving beat. There is also a driving message of praise for Allah along with biting criticism for the war in Iraq and for rampant commercialism. Capital D or David Kelly, as he's also know, converted to Islam five years ago. That change has led him to speak out against the sex and violence theme so often heard in mainstream hip-hop. Capital D's latest album is called "Insomnia" and his second book is called "Transformations." and he joins us now to talk about the message of faith in his work.
We want to welcome you. And my first question to you is that you were raised a Catholic and then you converted to Islam. What made you change?
"CAPITAL D" DAVID KELLY, HIP-HOP ARTIST: Well, actually I found a side of Islam that had synthesized a lot of the views that I already had, the values of Jesus, praising the site of Islam. The only thing that it didn't have was the belief that Jesus is the son of God and that was something that never resonated in my heart even as I was a Catholic.
NGUYEN: So when you converted as a rapper you struggled with Islamic law, whether making music was within the law. How did you solve this burning question?
KELLY: Well, essentially when I converted to Islam people were telling me that music is forbidden in Islam and because I didn't have any understanding of it myself I had to go along with what I was being told. But the more I studied, the more I recited the Koran and read the Hadif of the Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him, I found that that's an ambiguous question and I believe that you can do good with music and so I thought it was my duty to do so.
NGUYEN: So you rap with a message. You also won't play at venues that serve alcohol while you are on stage and you are not afraid to talk about religion. I want to show you a little bit of a song, you know this very well a song called "God Speed" and you say, I'm not going to rap it because I don't want to do you any injustice, but here are the lyrics. "We engage and debate over scripture, but ain't never took time to read, and then we wonder why we live miserable."
What kind of message are you sending about religion?
KELLY: Well, a lot of people, and myself included, used to talk about -- myself -- I used to talk about religion without -- I said I don't believe in organized religion, but I've only been associated with one religion and I would talk about Islam as if I had an understanding of it but I had no real understanding of it. And so for me I needed to go and read the Koran, read the Bible and have an acute understanding of some of the things that I talk about knowing but I didn't really have an understanding of.
NGUYEN: So do you try to dispel some of the misconceptions?
KELLY: Yes, I do.
NGUYEN: OK, and let's talk about some of your lyrics as well. Do you tackle the issues of religious extremism? I that something that you're going to deal with in your songs and your raps?
KELLY: Yes, I try to deal with actually extremism whether it's religious extremism, secular extremism. I think Islam is supposed to be the straight path -- Islam is the straight path and it's supposed to be a moderate path and so I try to deal with issues of extremism when dealing with religion and political issues, what have you.
NGUYEN: Speaking of political issues, you do talk about politics in your raps. Here's another son. It's called "Start the Revolution.," where you talk about the state of America when you say, "She ain't fighting poverty she's fighting the poor and every couple of years she'll just declare a new war." What are you hoping listeners get from those type of lyrics?
KELLY: To actually look at the war on poverty, the war on drugs, the war on terrorism. In a lot of ways they're extensions of the same kind of philosophy that, in my humble opinion, the United States foreign policy is to blame for a lot of the ills inside of the world or does not contribute to democracy inside of the world. And so I look at the war on poverty inside of this country and the war on terrorism abroad as a lot of times it's a war on people that are being oppressed.
NGUYEN: There's a lot in these lyrics. Are you trying to provide an alternative to what's seen as mainstream rap?
KELLY: Hopefully, yes.
NGUYEN: What don't you like about mainstream rap? What are you going against?
KELLY: I'm -- one of the main things as an African American male one of the main things that I go against is the stereotypical view of African American men that has gone on inside of this country for years and that now I see African American men perpetuating inside of rap and that is the issues of sex and violence that have been placed on African American men and that now we tend to live up to as if that's the definition of being a true black male.
NGUYEN: David Kelly known as Capital D, Cap D to the cool kids out there. In addition to writing you're also a law student. What do you want to do with your life? You've already done so much.
KELLY: Actually I graduated from law school about a year ago, so technically I'm a lawyer now. One of the main things -- I mean my father is a lawyer and so it was always something that interest me so I felt that my skills as an artist and as a writer actually led to me being a -- hopefully being a good lawyer.
NGUYEN: Wow! You are well on your way. We thank you Cap D.
KELLY: Thank you.
NGUYEN: Best of luck to you.
KELLY: Thank you, Betty.
NGUYEN: Tony.
HARRIS: That's a good set.
NGUYEN: It's a good set
HARRIS: Cap D.

NGUYEN: Oh he's got a great argument there. It should be named Noah. But, you know, Jack Eubanks, who is aged six says it should be named Pegasus and Alex Eubanks, who is just four, says Zeus.
NGUYEN: How does Alex know about Zeus at age four?
HARRIS: Yes.
NGUYEN: Grandpa says Aurora and Nana says Artemis.
HARRIS: The Eubanks family with us.
NGUYEN: Yes, the Eubanks. They are definitely interested in naming this plant. We want you to be interested as well. Send us your thoughts. E-mail us weekends@cnn.com. What do you think this should be named if indeed it is a planet?
