THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.
RICK SANCHEZ, CNN ANCHOR: We are following some new developments in the stand-off over Iran's nuclear program. The U.N. nuclear agency has agreed to report Iran to the Security Council -- that's the U.N. Security Council -- setting the stage for possible sanctions.
Now, the U.S. fears that Iran wants to build nuclear weapons. Iran says its nuclear activities are peaceful.
We're going to have a live report on all of this just ahead.
Also this, at least 73 people are dead, another 340 hurt following a stampede at a stadium in the Philippines. A Filipino official is saying that 20,000 people were waiting to see a game show when someone shouted that there was a bomb near, causing the crowd to go into a panic.
Egyptian officials fear about 1,000 people may have died aboard a ferry that sank in the Red Sea. Now, some of the survivors say they smelled smoke aboard the ship before it capsized.
BETTY NGUYEN, CNN ANCHOR: ABC News has released the videotape shot just moments before a roadside bomb exploded, seriously injuring anchor Bob Woodruff and photographer Doug Vogt. Both, as you can see, were wearing body armor and helmets while atop an Iraqi armored vehicle when that bomb went off. But the explosion itself was not taped.
Mexican authorities have closed the alternative health clinic where civil rights icon Coretta Scott King died late Monday night. Improper sanitation, poor record-keeping, use of unknown substances and unlicensed personnel are just some of the reasons listed. Mrs. King was seeking treatment for advanced ovarian cancer when she died.
Meanwhile, Mrs. King will lie in state at the Georgia state capital today, with public viewing from 12:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Eastern.
We want to give you a live picture from the funeral home, where her body will be transported in just a few hours. We're working on that live picture. When it happens, when it pops up, we'll bring it to you.
Her funeral, as you know, is set for Tuesday. Well, call it communication breakdown -- an unmanned space suit, space suit, that is, released from the international space station yesterday has run into a little trouble. The suit is supposed to be transmitting messages to ham radio operators worldwide, but it went silent hours into its mission. NASA believes the broadcasting space suit is having some battery problems.
Where's the Energizer bunny when you need it?
I'm still trying to get a handle on that. A space suit transmitting signals to ham operators? What?
SANCHEZ: I was going to say, an empty suit.
NGUYEN: Yes.
SANCHEZ: Sometimes they get jobs, though, good jobs.
NGUYEN: That's very true. Very true.
From the CNN Center in Atlanta, this is CNN SATURDAY MORNING.
It is February 4th.
Good morning, everybody.
I'm Betty Nguyen.
SANCHEZ: And I'm Rick Sanchez in for Tony Harris.
It's 7:00 a.m. in Atlanta, 2:00 p.m. in Egypt and 8:00 p.m. in the Philippines right now.
And here are some of the stories that we're going to be having for you.
First, today, the State of Georgia honors the first lady of the civil rights movement, Coretta Scott King. It's going to be an historic day at the capital building in Atlanta and we're going to bring you live coverage throughout the morning.
Also, a blast from the past. An unassuming brown wallet comes in the mail from 2,000 miles away and decades after it vanished. We're going to hear all about this. We're going to explain it to you live at 9:00 Eastern.
Also this, would you buy a slice of pizza from this woman? Pizza Hut hopes that these Daisy Doo boots kick it into Super Bowl glory. Are the commercials bigger and better this year? Or just more expensive? And are you one of those who watches just to see the commercials and you really can't give a hoot about the game?
NGUYEN: I am.
SANCHEZ: We'll find out -- Betty, over to you.
NGUYEN: All right, we do want to get straight to our top story right now.
New developments in the Iranian nuclear stand-off.
The U.N.'s nuclear watchdog has set the stage for possible sanctions.
CNN's Matthew Chance joins us now from Vienna, Austria, where the nuclear agency is based -- Matthew, what does the resolution call on Iran to do?
MATTHEW CHANCE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, first of all, according to U.S. diplomats, it marks a major step forward on the issue of dealing with Iran's very controversial nuclear program. The resolution is a document which is about three pages long. It calls on the issue of Iran's controversial nuclear program to be reported to the United Nations Security Council, where, of course, it could eventually face some kind of punishment, possibly even sanctions, as you mentioned.
But that kind of security action -- and this is important -- will not come until at least a month from now, when there is a more conclusive report from the director general of the IAEA, Mohamed ElBaradei, on how much work Iran has done in the next month or so to come into compliance with the international community, to try and convince the rest of the world that its nuclear program, which it says is for peaceful purposes only, is not a cover for a secret nuclear weapons program, which is, of course, what many countries, including the U.S. and European countries, believe at this point.
We've had some reaction from the Iranian delegates here at the IAEA in Vienna. It's a reaction which basically says that Iran will follow through on its threats to end all voluntary cooperation with nuclear inspectors on the ground, with the IAEA. It also says that Iran, as a result of this resolution being passed and as a result of the Security Council being involved, will resume commercial enrichment of uranium, exactly the kind of activities that the international community was trying to get Iran to step away from -- Betty.
NGUYEN: Let's get back to these possible sanctions.
You say it's going to take about a month, if they do come to pass.
So what happens in that month time frame?
CHANCE: Well, that's a good question. What the IAEA here says that it's given this period of a month as a grace period for Iran, to sort of give it one last chance to show that it is making progress toward answering all the questions that need to be answered to lift the shadow of doubt off its nuclear program.
There are intensive negotiations that the Iranians tell us will continue with Russia on a Russian proposal to enrich uranium for Iran on Russian soil. That's an initiative which is backed by the U.S. and by the U.N. because it would provide Russian oversight of Iran's nuclear activities, to make sure that that kind of sensitive enrichment activity does not go toward, or is not diverted toward nuclear weapons production.
But if we're still in the same place now, sorry, in a month from now, as we are now, with Iran not in compliance with the will of the international community, then the Security Council will be expected and will be asked by this IAEA to take serious action against the Islamic republic.
NGUYEN: All right, so the clock is ticking.
Matthew Cooper in Vienna for us this morning.
Thanks for bringing us up to speed on this -- Rick.
SANCHEZ: You know, Iran was quick to react to the news that it's being referred to the Security Council, as you might expect. Tehran says it will start full scale nuclear related activities.
Now, our senior Pentagon correspondent, Jamie McIntyre, is joining us now on the phone -- Jamie, help us understand this, because we understand that by their own laws, the Iranians now will be less apt to deal or in any way negotiate with the U.N. inspectors.
JAMIE MCINTYRE, CNN SENIOR PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Well, Rick, I'm at the Munich conference on security policy in Munich where all -- some of the top security officials are here. And, of course, Topic A is Iran. It's a very interesting conference. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld is here.
Probably, though, the most pointed comments were made by the new German chancellor, Angela Merkel, who really said that Iran has crossed a red line and made a vigorous argument that this needs to be resolved in the Security Council.
But the interesting thing about this conference is right here, there is an Iranian representative. In fact, the deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs, a man named Abbas Araghchi, was here. And he basically made the case that you've heard, that Iran claims it's not seeking nuclear weapons, that it's been cooperating for three years. It's been negotiating and believes it's come away empty-handed with its desire to have what it claims is a peaceful program for nuclear energy.
And he made the point, the foreign -- deputy foreign minister here -- that under the law that the parliament has passed in Iran, once this is referred to the Security Council, even reported to the Security Council, their law requires them to end all voluntary cooperation and basically proceed with their program, which they, again, they say is for commercial enrichment.
So they made an impassioned plea that this should not go to the U.N. Security Council because that ends the negotiation. To which the response from the German chancellor was they need to change that law, because she made the case that if the United Nations can't debate this and talk about it, then what's the use of the United Nations? It's the proper forum, she said. She pleaded -- she issued a plea with Iran that there is still a window for negotiation, that they ought to take -- avail themselves of. Iran was digging in its heels, though, saying that once this goes to the U.N. it's simply going to go its own way.
So it's a very important development and we'll have to see how it plays out.
SANCHEZ: Yes, interesting that they would need to change that law.
I'm wondering what Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld had to say about this, given that so many people have been saying that he had his eye on Iran for quite a long time now.
What did he say, Jamie?
MCINTYRE: Well, one thing he didn't say was that there was any sort of a military option that could be used to prevent Iran from getting nuclear weapons. He was very understated compared to Germany's chancellor, but he did essentially say that a nuclear Iran was not acceptable and he basically appealed to the Iranian people, as did President Bush in his State of the Union address, who he said he believes don't really want to see their country isolated, don't want to see them, because of the being labeled a nuclear aspirant, lose their position in the world.
But he was fairly understated in the comments that he made.
SANCHEZ: Jamie McIntyre along with Matthew Cooper following this story for us.
We'll be getting back to both of them throughout the morning as this story continues to develop -- Betty, over to you.
NGUYEN: Turning now to Egypt, rescuers have pulled hundreds of people from the chilly waters of the Red Sea after an Egyptian ferry sank yesterday. But they fear the death toll could be staggering. Some survivors reported a fire aboard the ferry.
We want to go to CNN's Paula Hancocks, who joins us live now from Safaga, Egypt with the latest -- Paula, are, the victims, or survivors, I should say, and some of the victims' family members, are they still waiting at the docks hoping to hear word?
PAULA HANCOCKS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Yes, Betty, they are.
And in the past 45 minutes or so, it has been a little bit aggravated as frustration, really, is over spilling onto the streets here. Relatives have been waiting for 40 hours now to find any information about some of those that they do believe were on the ferry. And just a few moments ago, we had a bit of a rock and a bottle throwing battle between some of the relatives and some riot police who had been guarding the gates to the port, trying to keep people out. Now, it's calmed down now. There are some of the relatives who are standing in the middle of the road trying to calm everyone down, because at the end of the day, they're saying all they want to know is where their relatives are.
One relative I was speaking to said, "I have come to terms with the fact that he is dead. I just want to know one way or the other."
And the relatives are angry that they really don't seem to be getting much information from the authorities. There's not an official briefing. There's not an official way that they are telling the relatives here -- about 1,000 of them at the moment -- just who has survived and who hasn't -- Betty.
NGUYEN: ... so long, Paula, to get the information to these relatives?
HANCOCKS: It is very difficult because they are all standing in the streets at the moment. And there have been certain officials that have come out and given names of certain survivors. But then you have 1,000 people running up to try and hear if that is the name of their loved one that they really do want to hear about.
But it is quite a -- they're down a little bit here. They're trying to compress their frustration and their anger at the fact that they're not hearing anything. I mean, the latest information we have is 389 people have survived. They have been pulled from the wreckage and pulled from the water over the last day or so. And, also, 185, at least, have been confirmed killed.
But that still leaves between 800 and 900 people that have been unaccounted for. And it's their relatives that are standing here now, desperate for any information.
NGUYEN: Yes, as time ticks on, it does become a desperate situation.
Paula Hancocks, thank you for that update.
SANCHEZ: We're going to have more on the life and the legacy of Coretta Scott King straight ahead. She's going to be lying in state at the Georgia state capital. In fact, we're going to be following this story for you throughout the course of the morning.
NGUYEN: We sure will.
Plus, guess what? Another celebrity couple calls it quits. Are you surprised? Well, you might be when you hear who it is.
SANCHEZ: And the Super Bowl is tomorrow. But today we're talking music. Who's performing when, where, why? We go "Beyond The Game" next. That would be the big game.
BONNIE SCHNEIDER, CNN METEOROLOGIST: Plus, we are looking at some stormy conditions today for Florida. Lots of thunderstorms across much of the area on the west coast. And the east coast, you may be rain free right now in Miami, but get ready for some storms.
We'll have a live look at that plus a look ahead to the rest of your forecast.
That's all coming up next on CNN SATURDAY MORNING.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
SANCHEZ: The fine line between police protection and excessive force is once again in the news, in a violent way.
Coming up in our next hour, you're going to learn what you should do when you're approached by an officer to not put him on guard. It could be a lesson of life and death for you and others. It's at 8:00 a.m. Eastern.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
NGUYEN (voice-over): Detroit is known worldwide as the birthplace of Motown, the home of music legends like Stevie Wonder and the Four Tops. So why are the Rolling Stones getting top billing as the main event at the Super Bowl 40 half-time show? For one reason, perhaps, image is everything.
We'll break it down note for note when we go "Beyond The Game."
(END VIDEOTAPE)
NGUYEN: And Aretha Franklin is waiting in the wings to belt out the national anthem at Super Bowl 40 tomorrow in Detroit. And Aretha says the Super Bowl should have given Motown a little more respect instead of choosing the Stones for the half-time show.
So, why was Motown only billed as an opening act?
Let's ask our resident soul man, of sorts, sports business analyst Rick Horrow, the author of "When the Game Is On the Line."
Soul man, huh?
Joining us in the Motor City today.
We're going to be talking Super Bowl -- Rick, what were the organizers thinking when they put them as the opening act, these people of Motown? I mean this is the roots.
RICK HORROW, CNN SPORTS BUSINESS ANALYST: Well, yes, but you've got to understand that there were 650 parties all over Detroit in the last couple of days. And I haven't personally in all of them, but I've seen all of them. And the bottom line was that Motown has varied representation here. That's not the issue.
But Sprint paid a record $12 million, Betty, to be the sole sponsor of the 12-minute half-time show. They think that the Rolling Stones' image fits their demographic. The Stones' tongue logo and the NFL Super Bowl logo have been a centerpiece for a joint licensing program underwritten by Reebok, V.F. and other companies, as well.
So, the bottom line has been that Sprint was part of the decision. The NFL was, too. And that fit their demographics just as well as they could.
Now there's a maximum age limit talked about for dancers at the half-time show until the fans realized that many of the founders of the Stones are a decade older than the 45-year-old proposed maximum. So they said forget the maximum, just look for an exciting half-time show in those 12 minutes.
By the way, a 5-7 second delay, just in case there's a problem.
NGUYEN: Oh, I don't think we're going to expect one of those kinds of problems this time around.
But a maximum age limit? I mean can you really do that? I'm really surprised by that, Rick.
HORROW: Well, no. That's why they're not doing it.
NGUYEN: Yes, exactly.
All right, let's move on a little bit.
So what are some of the other image issues that the NFL is tickling as Super Bowl 40 ramps up?
HORROW: Well, you know, 44 percent of Americans claim, Betty, to be loyal football fans, very interested in the NFL, higher than any other sport. But that loyalty has really been tested this year. In March, former New Orleans Saints coach, Jim Haslet, said he took steroids for about six weeks before his career was over.
Then a South Carolina doctor released his book about drug involvement with NFL players. The league went through the steroid hearings in better shape than most sports, but still a household issue through the summer.
The impact on a "New York Times" story of last year talking about 50 percent of NFL players owned guns. And then there's the Terrell Owens situation, as we all heard during the fall. Dormant for now, at least until he signs with another team.
The NFL is incredibly protective about their image. That's why they rejected, by the way, a Super Bowl already last year using Mickey Rooney's 84-year-old backside in a commercial. And look for the same kind of stuff this year during the half-time.
NGUYEN: Yes, we may not want to see that kind of stuff.
HORROW: No, we don't. I certainly don't.
NGUYEN: Yes. All right, so before we get to your Super Bowl picks, there's a pick that's already out there. I want you to check this out. E.A. Sports has already picked the winner of Super Bowl 40. The video game -- we're going to show it to you -- giant recently ran a simulation of its latest NFL video game for Xbox. Matching up the Steelers and the Seahawks -- we're trying to get that video for you. The Steelers emerged as the victors for the fifth Super Bowl win, prevailing over the Seahawks 24-19, is what they predict.
What do you think?
Don't tell us who you're picking, but what do you think about that? 24-19?
HORROW: Well, I think that's a five point victory. So that's what I think. You know, the video game industry is about a $35 billion one, Betty, and they need something to generate some support and, of course, all over Detroit they're talking about this. The fact that you asked that question means their marketing people are pretty successful.
NGUYEN: Yes.
HORROW: I think I'm pretty comfortable with my pick and we'll talk about that in a couple of hours. But, you know, if Tony is within the earshot of this voice, maybe he should look at this voice, maybe he should look at that E.A. game pick, because it's probably better than what he's been doing.
NGUYEN: Well, you know, I have to tell you, Tony is off today. We've got the lovely Rick Sanchez with us. And he's probably going to have one of his picks, as well.
But I'm kind of with you on that one. We'll take about it a little bit later. So you've got to fire up that crystal ball, Rick.
We're going to get your Super Bowl pick...
HORROW: Hey, Betty, I can't wait. You know, we can get the blind orangutan throwing the darts at the board or get Tony's pick. Either one is fine with me.
NGUYEN: Oh, that's not nice, Rick.
Come on.
Hey, Tony did pretty good during a lot of the games this year, so you may be surprised. Although I don't think I'm going to be siding with Tony this time around when it comes to a Super Bowl pick.
We'll talk to you soon, Rick.
HORROW: Talk to you in a few hours. Bye.
NGUYEN: All right -- Rick Sanchez.
SANCHEZ: Betty, Rick to Rick.
Games are decided on the field, by the way. But we can do all this tomfoolery, nonetheless, just for fun.
The love cycle is over for one world class athlete. Coming up, Lance Armstrong reaches the end of the road. But will Cheryl Crow admit he's her favorite mistake?
Also, January was as warm as June in some places?
But the groundhog says beware. We'll all put it together for u. Meteorologist Bonnie Schneider takes an independent look at the Nina concept next on CNN SATURDAY MORNING.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
NGUYEN: All right, folks, listen up. Check out these pictures. You may not see them together much longer. Singer Cheryl Crow and bicycling boyfriend Lance Armstrong have arrived in splitsville. Yes, that's right. As confirmed by an Interscope Records publicist on Friday.
SANCHEZ: They arrived in splitsville and he set a record doing so, right? The seven time Tour de France record holder, champ and everything else, and the 43-year-old rock star have broken off their wedding plans. Did you know? The ones that they had announced in September that, I must admit, I had no idea about. So I'm glad to know that I didn't really have to know because, after all, it doesn't really exist.
NGUYEN: No, but, you know, maybe there's a little foreshadowing here, because one of Cheryl Crow's songs, one of her hits...
SANCHEZ: Is?
NGUYEN: "My Favorite Mistake."
SANCHEZ: Really?
NGUYEN: Yes ...
(CROSSTALK)
SCHNEIDER: I'm very disappointed about this news.
NGUYEN: Bonnie's almost in tears over here.
SCHNEIDER: I was really upset. I was really upset.
SANCHEZ: Have you been over -- have you been sitting there taking notes on this as it's been developing?
SCHNEIDER: No, I just...
NGUYEN: Why were you so upset, Bonnie?
SCHNEIDER: Because they just seemed like such a happy couple.
SANCHEZ: Yes.
SCHNEIDER: It was so disappointing. I always get disappointed at splits.
NGUYEN: You know how those Hollywood romances are.
SCHNEIDER: I know. I know. You keep the hopes up.
SANCHEZ: Looks are deceiving, aren't they, Bonnie?
SCHNEIDER: Absolutely.
SANCHEZ: What have you got?
SCHNEIDER: Well, we're talking about La Nina today. And La Nina kind of officially confirmed by the National Weather Service yesterday, that this pattern is occurring. It has to occur for about three months in order for it to be official.
And what it has to do with is the ocean temperature being cooler than normal. That's why it is a La Nina year rather than an El Nino year.
Now, the reason that we even have these names in Spanish is because this change in the fluctuation in temperatures off the Pacific has to do with South American fishermen, who noticed the change right around the time of Christmas. So that's why we have the name either El Nino or La Nina, El Nino being the warmer temperatures and La Nina being the cooler ones, which translates to the child. And that's why we get the name right around Christmas time.
Now, this pattern, you might think well, how does this affect the United States or really world weather? It does, indeed. In fact, as we take a look, there's various effects that will effect the U.S. as a result of this being a La Nina year. Possible effects are an active Atlantic hurricane season, wet weather in the Northwest and dry weather in the Southern U.S.
And we've been seeing that pretty much over the past couple of months. And now we can kind of tie it together to this phenomenon.
This is the way the weather map shapes up during a La Nina pattern, and it's very similar to what we've been experiencing. The dry weather across the Southwest, the drought we've been talking about with the fire danger. Lots of rain and wind and wet weather for the Northwest. And with the way the jet streams, the southern branch and the northern branch, have set themselves up right now, all of this upper level energy is staying well to the north of the Gulf of Mexico.
And the reason we're concerned about an active hurricane season, these strong upper level winds act as a shearing mechanism to kind of tear apart hurricanes. And that's why when we had some hurricanes come through in the latter part of the fall we talked about them being sheared apart. Well, with this pattern, if it does persist well into hurricane season, it would inhibit the shearing or the tearing off or the breaking down of the hurricane. So there'll be lighter winds in the Gulf of Mexico.
Now, this is just a possibility, just one influencing factor in determining how many hurricanes we'll get and how strong they'll get. But taking a look at some of this data, you can see the lighter winds here across the Gulf. And as we look at what we're expecting compared to different cycles as far as El Nino years or La Nina years or neutral years, you can see that during La Nina years we do tend to get more hurricanes striking, a better percentage, 63 percent striking the U.S.
Now, last year, of course, was a record breaking year, and that was a neutral year. So, again, this is just one factor we look at when determining how we're going to check out the hurricane season for 2006.
(WEATHER REPORT)
NGUYEN: Well, things better heat up. Because, you know why? Valentine's Day is just 10 days away. I hope you have ideas for your wife.
SANCHEZ: Well, actually, I was thinking more of Lance Armstrong about this time and something he doesn't no longer have to -- he no longer has to worry about, right?
NGUYEN: That's very true, very true.
SANCHEZ: And Cheryl Crow. It goes both ways.
For those of you with loved ones overseas, we're going to tell you why you need to get to the post office this morning.
Speaking of "Going Global," let's check in -- that was a good transition, wasn't it?
NGUYEN: Yes.
SANCHEZ: Let's check in with Brenda Bernard.
She's at our International Desk -- Brenda, what you got?
BRENDA BERNARD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, everyone wants world peace, but some monks are taking spiritual steps in hopes of achieving it. That's just ahead on CNN SATURDAY MORNING.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
NGUYEN: It is a day of mourning in Atlanta and around the world, for that matter. Because within the next few hours, the body of Coretta Scott King will be moved to the Georgia state capital to lie in state.
We want to welcome you back on this Saturday morning.
I'm Betty Nguyen.
SANCHEZ: So nice to be with you this morning.
NGUYEN: Hey, good to see you, Rick.
We don't get to see you that often on this show. Hardly at all.
SANCHEZ: I'm always flying around somewhere, right?
NGUYEN: That's right. You're off and...
SANCHEZ: Landing and taking off there.
NGUYEN: And today Tony is off, so we're going to get you all weekend long. Good deal. Nice.
SANCHEZ: A pleasure to be here. More of a pleasure when I get to work with you.
NGUYEN: I pay him to say that.
SANCHEZ: That story in a minute, by the way.
But we're going to have a look at some of the morning headlines for you right now.
Let's do it -- a casino bound tour bus has barreled past an exit ramp. It slid down an embankment and crashed in a parking lot near Atlantic City. Here are some of the pictures that we've been getting in. Authorities say more than three dozen people were treated at local hospitals after the accident last night. Most had only cuts and bruises.
New Jersey, a biomedical company accused of selling human body parts for profit, has been shut down by the FDA. Investigators suspect the company secret harvested human tissue at several funeral homes. The allegations involve hundreds of looted bodies, including that of Masterpiece Theater host Alistair Cooke.
And it's official, the Patriot Act remains intact for at least five more weeks. President Bush signed a bill extending provisions that were set to expire Friday. Critics say the anti-terrorism law enacted after the September 11 attacks infringes on civil liberties -- Betty.
NGUYEN: Jordan's King Abdullah II visits New Orleans. Now, the king toured some of the city's most devastated neighborhoods Friday, accompanied by Mayor Ray Nagin. The Jordanian leader expressed his country's solidarity with the suffering of the city. He also donated $100,000 to the archdiocese of New Orleans.
Anyone wanting to get a Valentine's card to troops overseas by February 14th better get that card in the mail today. That's the reminder from the U.S. Postal Service. For procrastinators, who, there's always instant messaging and e-mail.
In about three hours from now, the body of Coretta Scott King will be moved to the Georgia state capital. She'll be the first woman and first African-American to lie in state in the rotunda. Members of the public will get a chance to pay their respects to Mrs. King. Public viewing begins at 12:00 p.m. Eastern today.
Georgia's governor signed the executive order allowing Coretta Scott King's body to lie in state at the capital. That's an honor her husband was denied.
Rachel Kim of our affiliate, WSB, joins us now from the funeral home, where a horse drawn carriage will transport King's body.
Good morning to you -- Rachel.
RACHEL KIM, WSB CORRESPONDENT: Good morning, Betty.
At 10:30 this morning, Mrs. King's casket will leave the Willie Watkins Funeral Home here in southwest Atlanta to head to the state capital, where Mrs. King will lie in honor. Then, at 11:30, her body will be received by Governor and First Lady Perdue.
Shortly thereafter, the governor and Mrs. Perdue, along with Mrs. King's four children, will enter the rotunda to pay their respects. Then the other members of the King family will join the children for a moment of reflection and a brief memorial service.
Then at noon, a private ceremony for the governor and dignitaries from across Georgia will be held. And at 12:30 this afternoon, the rotunda will finally open for public viewing. The receiving line closes at 8:00 p.m. tonight.
And tomorrow, on Monday, a memorial service and public viewing will be held at Ebenezer Baptist Church and Mrs. King's funeral will be held on Tuesday at New Missionary Baptist Church in Lithonia -- Betty, back to you.
NGUYEN: Rachel, let me ask you this.
On Tuesday, we know that Mrs. King's daughter Bernice does -- she does pastor at that church.
Will she be offering or delivering the funeral service there on Tuesday?
KIM: At this point, Betty, I'm not quite sure of that. But she is Mrs. King's youngest daughter, Bernice, is an associate minister there. So I'm not sure at this time, but I can imagine that would certainly be something most appropriate.
NGUYEN: Absolutely. And no doubt people will be lining the streets to see today's procession.
Thank you so much. SANCHEZ: That cool music means we're "Going Global" now. As more details come in about the ferry that sank in the Red Sea, it seems to have killed hundreds of people, although the numbers at this point are kind of sketchy.
CNN's Brenda Bernard is joining us now from the International Desk.
You know, you read different numbers at different times.
Do they have a better handle yet on how many people survived this?
BRENDA BERNARD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Well, Rick, about 1,000 people appear dead in this tragedy in the Red Sea. That's according to Egyptian officials. Rescuers are still looking for survivors, though, in the chilly waters off the coast of Egypt. They've rescued nearly 400 people so far and recovered 185 bodies.
Today, worried relatives stormed the gates of the port in Safaga, demanding more information about their loved ones.
A rising death toll also in the Philippines right now. Hospital officials say 73 people have been killed in a stampede and about 340 others are injured. It happened at a sports arena packed with about 20,000 people. Witnesses say someone shouted there was a bomb and everyone panicked.
A short time ago, the International Atomic Energy Agency passed a resolution to report Iran to the U.N. Security Council over its nuclear program. That sets the stage for future action by the world body. The resolution cites branches of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty by Tehran and it describes the international community's lack of confidence that Iran's nuclear program is for peaceful purposes.
Iran has threatened full scale nuclear related activities if it is reported to the U.N.
And if world peace can be achieved through dance, this may be out. Check it out. These Buddhist monks in India are performing a traditional ceremony to ward away evil and welcome the good spirits. For the monks, the Dance for World Peace symbolizes victory of good over evil -- Rick.
SANCHEZ: Hey, thanks so much.
I could use some of that from time to time.
BERNARD: I know. Yes, the world can.
SANCHEZ: Appreciate it.
NGUYEN: If we can learn to do it from time to time.
SANCHEZ: No, I don't think so.
NGUYEN: Nah.
All right, in about three hours, the body of Coretta Scott King will be moved to the Georgia state capital. We're going to be following this story throughout the morning.
SANCHEZ: Also, Muslims throughout the world have taken to the streets.
What are they made about?
Well, they are furious over an editorial cartoon that depicts the Prophet Muhammad in a certainly negative light. We'll tell you more about it.
Stay with us.

NGUYEN: Tomorrow is the Super Bowl. Yes, we all know that.
And you know what that means?
It means big bucks for some big businesses.
Do you watch the game for the plays or just for the commercials?

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
NGUYEN: Stories "Across America" this morning.
Chaos at a Los Angeles health clinic. Take a look at this. A car crashed through a wall, injuring some 13 people, some of them critically. Witnesses say a small Nissan and a big Lincoln Town Car were jockeying for a lane when the bigger car swerved, forcing the Nissan into the clinic. The Lincoln drove off. The Nissan driver denies reports that he was drag racing with the other car.
No arrests have been made yet in Alabama after fires at five small Baptist churches. Investigators think the fires were deliberately set, but they don't have a motive. Three of the churches are destroyed. The other two are damaged.
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin is being challenged for office. A Democrat from one of the city's most prominent political families says he wants the job. Louisiana Lieutenant Governor Mitch Landrieu is the brother of Senator Mary Landrieu. The city election is in April.
And listen to this. A World War II cold case is finally solved. The remains of an airman who spent 63 years buried in the Sierra Mountains has been identified. The Pentagon says he is Army Air Corps Cadet Leo Mustonen of Minnesota. He disappeared in 1942 after a military plane crashed. Climbers found his frozen remains last October and the Pentagon told family members this week of DNA test results.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
LEANE MUSTONEN, FROZEN AIRMAN'S NIECE: It's really great. OK, thanks, Captain. OK, bye. I didn't think that would happen. It is him.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
NGUYEN: Finally some closure for that family.
The airman was just 22 years old when he died.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MICHAEL ERIC DYSON, AUTHOR: Coretta Scott King was a remarkable woman by any measure. Had she never met Martin Luther King, Jr. she would no doubt have been a prominent woman in the circles of the social justice movement precisely because before Dr. King, she was involved with women's political organizations that especially held out against war.
She was a pacifist committed and very, very determined long before she met Martin Luther King, Jr. So when she met Martin Luther King, Jr. she inspired him and instigated in him an awareness about anti-war sentiment and passion.
So in many ways, she was his partner in the struggle for social justice.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
SANCHEZ: And that is acclaimed author Michael Eric Dyson, just one of the many people remembering Coretta Scott King.
As he said, she was an accomplished woman in her own right, not just the widow of a civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Joining us now to talk more about her work is Xernona Clayton, founder of the Trumpet Awards in Atlanta and a very good friend of Mrs. King. As a matter, you spent some quality time with her.
What do some of the young people who maybe didn't live through the civil rights movement need to know about her?
XERNONA CLAYTON, TRUMPET AWARDS: Her commitment. You know, a lot of us can have some ideas and some ideals, but if you don't have a commitment to see them through, then they're almost for naught.
SANCHEZ: And that point was made that it wasn't a commitment that began when she met this man who was committed to this. I mean going back in her past, the way her mother raised her.
CLAYTON: Yes. SANCHEZ: A mother who actually one day decided my daughter is not going to walk five miles to go to school. I'm going to get a bus and I'm going to take her and the rest of the children around here, too.
In the 1930s, a black woman doing that must have been amazing.
CLAYTON: Well, I guess she had the spirit inside of her. And, also, you know, she knew that from the economic status of her family, she probably was not going to go to college. But she was determined and she got assistance along the way and got a scholarship to go to school.
But she was so determined. Everybody saw that determination. And then they were willing to help her. And I think young people can show us today that if you've got the determination, help will come.
SANCHEZ: Tell me this. You are probably one of the few people who got to spend time with her toward the end.
What did she say? What was it like?
CLAYTON: Well, during the end, she wasn't talking. You know, the stroke impaired her speech. But what I remembered is that she had that broad smile. She was just such a warm person. When I went to see her in the hospital right after the stroke -- in August, I guess it was -- she had a broad smile when I walked into the room. And she was paralyzed on the right side, but she had her left hand mobile. And she reached out to me and grabbed me with such force and held on.
And she was planning to come to my birthday, which was going to be, you know, a week or two after this. And we knew then she was not going to be able to make it. But she -- although she had not had any audible signs at all, she said, "Happy Birthday."
SANCHEZ: You know what's amazing? Governor Perdue has signed a proclamation that allows her to lie in state. And we're looking at live pictures now of where the procession will begin, as it goes to, eventually, the state capital for the funeral.
He signs a declaration saying that she will get an honor that her husband did not get because at the time in Georgia, Governor Lester Maddox, who wasn't particularly keen or kind to the movement, decided that he didn't want Martin Luther King to lie in state. It was an honor he was not willing to give.
So she becomes the first African-American, as I understand it, and the first woman to lie in state in this state.
What does that say to you?
CLAYTON: Well, first, let me just say this about the governor. He called me immediately and initiated this. And he said this is not a political move. And I want people to know that because I think he didn't confer with politicians to see if this was politically correct or not. He called immediately after we got the news that she had died. He called me to ask me to convey this offer to the family that he was offering this spot for her.
But the signs have changed.
But Dr. King said until all of us are free, none of us are free. So he fought and worked and died to free America to have the spirit to give us the promise of America.
SANCHEZ: And there's an irony that his wife ends up getting a tribute that he, himself didn't get bestowed upon her.
CLAYTON: Yes.
SANCHEZ: Well, Xernona, thanks so much for being with us.
You know, we're going to be following this all morning long and we certainly appreciate your time and your wisdom.
CLAYTON: Thank you.
SANCHEZ: In lieu of flowers, by the way, the King family requests that you send donations to the Coretta Scott King scholarship fund, Antioch College, 795 Livermore Street. That's Yellow Spring, Ohio -- Betty, back over to you.
NGUYEN: Well, most of the time when we talk about runways, we're discussing airplanes or airports. But this morning, a runway of a different sort is in the spotlight. That's right, we're talking about New York's Fashion Week. We have those details next on CNN SATURDAY MORNING.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
SANCHEZ: Let's start off with one of the pictures that we're going to be monitoring for you this morning.
This is from Egypt, where some of the family members have been gathering. They're waiting for word on their loved ones who may have been on an Egyptian ferry that apparently sank as a result of a fire on board.
There is a fear at this point that as many as 1,000 people may have perished. And one of the reasons we're going to be following this particular image that you're watching right now is we've heard that there has been some pushing and shoving. There have been some problems here. Perhaps some of the people there growing impatient with the response from the government.
So it is a story throughout the morning that we're going to keep an eye on for you and as we get details, we're going to share it with you -- Betty, over to you.
NGUYEN: All right, from the big tent to the big celebrities. Fashion is huge business.
Our Veronica De La Cruz joins us now from the Dot-Com Desk.
VERONICA DE LA CRUZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hello.
NGUYEN: Fashion Week in New York.
DE LA CRUZ: Fashion Week.
NGUYEN: It doesn't get any better than that, does it?
DE LA CRUZ: Big business, like you were just saying. And while many of us are still thinking spring, summer...
NGUYEN: Right.
DE LA CRUZ: The fashion industry is thinking fall.
NGUYEN: Again? Really?
DE LA CRUZ: Oh, they're...
NGUYEN: I'm ready to get out of these winter clothes.
DE LA CRUZ: Well, Fall Fashion Week started in New York yesterday and cnn.com takes you front row center.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
DE LA CRUZ: With many runways throughout New York City, Fashion Week is an opportunity for new designers to showcase their ideas, as well as established designers to strut their new fall creations. And experts say the event is not just about high fashion. New trends emerge as a result and retailers place orders for their upcoming fall lines.
Check out pictures from last year's Fashion Week. Everything from the glamorous to the um, I'm not so sure what to call it.
Test your couture knowledge in this quiz to find out if you're a style icon, a trend setter or a fashion victim.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
DE LA CRUZ: And be sure to check out the special report for the daily highlights and a schedule of the shows.
That's all at cnn.com/fashion.
And, Betty, I know what you're thinking.
What about the clothes? We want to see more of those clothes, right?
NGUYEN: Yes.
DE LA CRUZ: Right?
We barely saw any.
Well, take a look at this. We're looking at the red dress collection, which was shown last night.
NGUYEN: Lindsey Lohan there?
DE LA CRUZ: Yes.
A team of designers joined forces to raise awareness for the National Heart Lung & Blood Institute and they chose singers and actresses instead to model their clothes. And like you said, Lindsey Lohan. She opened the show wearing this long-sleeved Calvin Klein gown...
NGUYEN: Very beautiful. Yes.
DE LA CRUZ: With a V-neck and dropped waist. It looks great.
Fashion Week continues through February 10th with designers like Vivienne Tam, Donna Karan, Badgley Mishka. Badgley Mishka.
NGUYEN: You named him. I was looking at the list yesterday. I mean every single day from, what, it starts at 8:00 in the morning?
DE LA CRUZ: Um-hmm.
NGUYEN: You've got a fashion show almost every hour.
DE LA CRUZ: All day long. And some people hit like 20 fashion shows in a day.
NGUYEN: Ooh, that is enough to make you go broke.
DE LA CRUZ: Rick?
NGUYEN: Rick is just looking in amazement here.
SANCHEZ: No, I'm telling you, those women on that runway have nothing on you two.
NGUYEN: Right. Yes.
DE LA CRUZ: Oh!
NGUYEN: Yes, they have several inches on me, I'll tell you that.
DE LA CRUZ: Yes, 20 pounds lighter.
NGUYEN: All right, thank you, Veronica.
SANCHEZ: Let's bring you up to date on some of the stories that we're going to be following for you throughout this morning. And there does seem to be a bevy of them.
The IAEA is meeting in Vienna about Iran's nuclear program. This is news that came to us just before we went on the air. Iran's tough response that it will go full speed ahead despite the fact that the Security Council is saying they're now going to be keeping an eye on them. This doesn't mean sanctions yet, but it certainly could lead to that.
Also in Egypt, relatives and police clash after that ferry accident we've been following for u.
NGUYEN: And we are also following what will be the funeral procession of Coretta Scott King. You're looking at a live picture right now of the funeral home. That procession will take place at about 10:30 Eastern.
You want to stay here for live coverage.
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
SANCHEZ: Once again, we're going to bring us up to date on these pictures that we're going to be monitoring for you throughout the course of the morning.
And this is in Egypt, where loved ones are waiting for word on people who were on this ferry that seems to have capsized off the coast.
There is a fear that as many as 1,000 peopled have died. And because of the frustration from the lack of information from Egyptian officials, there have been scuffles here. We're told that they're having problems monitoring the crowd, although from what we see in these pictures thus far, at least for right now, Betty, things look calm.
NGUYEN: Yes, so far.
But as you said, that nearly 1,000 people are feared dead. And these family members are just waiting to hear word on if their relative is alive or dead.
On the scene for us, though, is CNN's Paula Hancocks. She's been watching this.
Paula, any new developments?
HANCOCKS (on phone): Well, Betty, it's certainly calmed down somewhat, been about an hour ago, an hour ago, anger and frustration from the relatives, really just spill over onto the street.
They've been waiting so long, almost 40 hours now, to find and hear any word about their relatives that were on that ferry that did sink in the Red Sea Thursday night, Friday morning.
And they started to throw stones at police just to show their frustration, their anger, that they really weren't being given any information. Now, they'll have calmed down now, and at the moment, they are starting to read out some names of the survivors. There's probably about a thousand-plus relatives there, desperately waiting to hear the name of their relative being read out.
We do know 389 have survived this ordeal. We know 185-plus have been confirmed dead. But that does leave between 800 and 900, maybe more people, that are still missing.
And as I say, it is nearly 40 hours now. And everyone here knows that the waters are cold, so the chances of finding many more survivors really must be quite slim now.
NGUYEN: Paula, what is taking so long to get the information to family members? Is it just a matter of finding the bodies and then IDing the bodies?
HANCOCKS: Well, it appears fairly chaotic outside the port itself. This is where many of the relatives have congregated to try and hear news. It just seems fairly logistically difficult for one person, as they have been, to try and read out the names of survivors to about a thousand-plus-strong crowd. Now, they've only just got themselves a loudspeaker, nearly 40 hours after this has occurred.
But they are giving some information, for example, that the transportation authority (ph) that they have some indication of what caused this accident. They say that there was a small fire in one of the vehicles, which is on the lower deck of the ferry, but they thought that they had put it out, the crew thought that that was extinguished. It appears it wasn't, although they say that may not have been the cause for the actual sinking itself, Betty.
NGUYEN: CNN's Paula Hancocks, we'll be checking back in with you throughout the morning. Thank you, Paula.
SANCHEZ: Throughout the next couple of hours - and we're going to be following it for you -- there's going to be a procession for Coretta Scott King.
Interestingly enough, when her husband, Martin Luther King, Jr., was assassinated in 1968, you may have heard to allude -- heard us allude to this just a little bit, Georgia's black lawmakers asked then-Governor Lester Maddox if his body could lie in honor in the state capital. Well, Lester Maddox, the governor then, swore he'd never allow a public tribute to King in the capital rotunda, and didn't.
Well, today, Mrs. King will become the first African-American woman, the first to lie in honor in the state capital.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
MICHAEL ERIC DYSON, AUTHOR: When Dr. King was assassinated, it was Mrs. Martin Luther King, Jr., Mrs. Coretta Scott King, who held forth and made sure that this man had a national holiday. I mean, only, you know, what, the second or third person in America to get a holiday named after him and her -- after him.
And the reality is that without her efforts, we wouldn't be enjoying in 1986 the first national celebration of the federally mandated holiday of Martin Luther King, Jr. And that holiday is important, because it's not just a holiday, it's a time of sacred recognition and recollection of the ideas and principles for which African-American people have fought and struggled for these 250 years we've been in this country.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
SANCHEZ: Today's viewing, by the way, is from noon to 8:00 p.m. Eastern.
In lieu of flowers, the King family is asking donations be made to the Coretta Scott King Scholarship Fund.
And CNN's Drew Griffith is going to be joining us with a live report from the state capital in our 9:00 hour. And then at 10:00, the Reverend Joseph Lowery, the dean, many would argue, of the civil rights movement, joins us to talk about the life and the legacy of Coretta Scott King.
All that ahead right here, Betty.
NGUYEN: Want to go to Massachusetts now.
Police are still looking for the teenager suspected in a vicious act in a New Bedford gay bar. Witnesses say 18-year-old Jacob Robida walked into Puzzles late Wednesday and attacked three men with a hatchet and a gun. One of the victims is out of the hospital and talking about what happened that night.
It's compelling video, and something you can only see right here on CNN. Take a look.
(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)
ROBERT PERRY, VICTIM: The hatchet came so fast that I don't think I had time to think. But when it hit my head, all of a sudden I said, This is something really serious is happening here. And just about putting those thoughts together, and I heard the gunshot, and then it escalated to a bigger thing.
And then I was on the floor in a pool of blood. So I -- at that point, I said, I guess I'm going to die. And this is -- looks like the way it's going to end.
(END VIDEO CLIP)
NGUYEN: His injuries there. Well, police are classifying the attack as a hate crime. During their search of Robida's home, investigators say they found Nazi paraphernalia.
SANCHEZ: And he's still on the loose.
NGUYEN: Still on the loose, still searching for him.
Coming up on CNN SATURDAY MORNING, a number of police confrontations are making headlines all across the country, causing outrage and reigniting debate, how much force is simply too much? We'll take a closer look.
SANCHEZ: Also, since many of us have been pulled over before for speeding or some other violation or potential violation, we're going to have some tips on what you should do if you get stopped by the police.
(WEATHER REPORT)
(COMMERCIAL BREAK)
NGUYEN: This morning, the world is one step closer to a nuclear showdown with Iran's hard-line Islamic government. The U.N.'s nuclear agency has agreed to refer Iran to the U.N. Security Council for further action. Now, Iran responds by saying it will resume all nuclear activities and not allow any more inspections of its nuclear facilities. So there you have it.
Let's get to CNN's Matthew Chance live in Vienna, Austria, where the vote was taken just a little more than two hours ago.
Matthew, the vote wasn't unanimous, but it was a large majority in favor of this resolution.
CHANCE: Yes, it was, 27 of the 35 board members here at the U.N.'s nuclear watchdog agency voted in favor of this resolution. Only three countries voted against it, and they were Syria, Venezuela, and Cuba, traditional opponents, of course, of U.S. policy.
So the United States seeing this as a major diplomatic victory for them. For years, they've been calling on the international community to unite and to report Iran to the United Nations Security Council. That has happened today, and there's certain amount of -- obviously, a lot of support for that, including the five permanent members of the Security Council.
It won't actually be calling on the Security Council, though, to take any action against Iran at this stage. Instead, it's giving Iran another chance, another month, at least, until the next report of the IAEA here in Vienna, for it to show that it can come into full compliance with what it calls the will of the international community, Rick.
NGUYEN: Well, Matthew, but getting -- gauging, at least, the reaction from Iran today, it doesn't seem like Iran's going to be budging too much on this.
CHANCE: No, absolutely not. In fact, it's been the very sharp reaction from the Iranian chief negotiator here, who's in Vienna. He spoke to us a few moments ago here on CNN. He said that Iran, as a result of this, the main consequence of this resolution, would be Iran resuming its commercial enrichment of uranium, full enrichment activities, the kind of activities that produce -- could produce large quantities of nuclear material, which may be diverted for use in a secret nuclear weapons program.
Iran, of course, says that it has no such program, and is merely embarked on a nuclear program to generate electricity.
Iran also says that, as a result of this resolution being passed, it will end all voluntary cooperation with the IAEA. That means that snap inspections of Iran's nuclear facilities, which it currently agrees to on a voluntary basis, will now be ended.
And so it seems that at this stage, Iran is continuing in the defiant mood that we've seen from it ever since the negotiations with Europe over the Iranian issue broke down several months ago.
NGUYEN: CNN's Matthew Chance in Vienna. Thank you for that, Matthew.
Want to get to our headlines as well.
At noon today, the body of Coretta Scott King will lie in state at the capital rotunda in downtown Atlanta. This is the first time in Georgia's history such an honor has been extended for an African- American.
There's also word this morning that a fire may have caused an Egyptian ferry to sink in the Red Sea yesterday. This was the scene earlier today, as angry family and friends awaited news about their loved ones. Look at them. Fourteen hundred people were on board that ferry. Nearly 400 people have been rescued so far. Others unaccounted for, well, they are feared dead at this hour. The Egyptian government is offering emergency compensation to survivors and relatives of the dead.
Now to the Philippines. At least 73 people are dead, 340 others hurt, after a stampede outside the stadium in Manila. Officials say chaos erupted, and people in the crowd started running, when someone yelled, Bomb!
SANCHEZ: Recent shootings have reignited the debate over the use of force by some police officers. But before we go any further, we should probably warn you that some of the images that you're about to see are somewhat disturbing.
One case involves the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old boy. The teen allegedly tried to break into a liquor store. And officers opened fire after he drove his car toward them. Officers maintain they fired the shots to avoid being run over.
Also, earlier this week, an unarmed Iraq war veteran who had returned home was shot in the chest, leg, and shoulder, but he survived. He's still recovering.
Chris Lawrence picks up that story for us.
(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)
CHRIS LAWRENCE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): It's now up to the FBI to clear up the confusion in this dark and grainy home video.
Airman Elio Carrion survived six months of duty in Iraq, and then got shot by a sheriff's deputy near his hometown. Agents are analyzing the tape to find out why.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Shut the (EXPLETIVE DELETED) up. Shut the (EXPLETIVE DELETED) up. You don't (EXPLETIVE DELETED) get up.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You told him to get up.
LAWRENCE: Investigators are trying to find out if there was a third person talking, adding to the confusion.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You told him to get up.
LAWRENCE: Carrion is a security officer in the Air Force, a husband, home visiting family in California. Sunday night, he was a passenger in this car, which police say was speeding. The deputy had to chase it for a few minutes before it crashed. The driver was arrested, then released a couple days later.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I want to see my friend right now.
LAWRENCE: Seconds before the shooting, Carrion tries to tell the deputy, I'm on your side.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I mean you no harm. I served more term than you in the police, in the military, OK?
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I served more time than you in the police, in the military, OK?
(END VIDEO CLIP)
LAWRENCE: The deputy tells Carrion to get up. But is that what he really meant?
DR. BRUCE BERG, POLICE TRAINING EXPERT: When we played it again, it sounded like he could have said, Don't get up.
LAWRENCE: Dr. Bruce Berg is a police training expert. He says the adrenaline's pumping after the chase. There's two suspects, and all kinds of background noise. And the deputy may have mangled the instruction to "Get down and shut up."
BERG: One could interpret that, if you've just told someone, Stay down, stay down, shut up, stay down, and they move to get up, while you're watching the other suspect, you see out of the side of your eye someone getting up, you're going to turn and reflectively -- you're going to, you're going to fire.
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Get up. OK? Get up. I'm saying get up.
LAWRENCE (on camera): You hear the shots, clearly, but there is so much on that tape that it's impossible to understand. Other times, it's complete silence.
Authorities say it would be unfair to make any judgment now, before they get all the facts. But they did place that deputy on leave until the local and federal agents finish their investigation.
Chris Lawrence, CNN, Los Angeles.
(END VIDEOTAPE)
SANCHEZ: Meantime, the family of the airman is now demanding the arrest of the deputy for the shooting. They're outraged that he was only placed on paid leave pending the outcome of what is now an FBI investigation.
On a broader point, incidents like this might have you asking the tough question, What am I supposed to do? What are the proper things to do if a police officer stops you in a situation like this?
And joining us now from New York, Edward Mamet. He's a law enforcement expert with ECJM Consultants.
Edward, thanks so much for joining us, sir. We certainly appreciate you taking time to join us.
EDWARD MAMET, FORMER NEW YORK POLICE DEPARTMENT CAPTAIN: Thank you.
SANCHEZ: Hey, let's do this to start this off, if we possibly can. Let's show that video again so the folks at home can see it. Let's roll it, roll it. We've got a Telestrator (ph). You can see it right there.
There's the gentlemen. You'll see where he starts to get up, right there. Did you see that? Just as he starts to get up -- and we'll roll it again, and we'll see it, and as we do that, I'll ask you, Mr. Mamet, what did this gentleman do wrong, if anything? Sir?
MAMET: Yes, he didn't appear to do anything wrong. What's key here is that the officer appears to be able to see his hands. The suspect's hands are in full view. And that's very important to a police officer, to be able to see where a person's hands are.
It appears that he was following the officer's commands, and it's very hard for me to understand why he was shot.
SANCHEZ: Well, let's go to that real quick, because, you know, the conversation that we're having, and we seem to have heard him say is, Get up, get up. And when the person got up, he seemed -- well, he shot him. Is there a communication problem here as far as the training is concerned?
MAMET: Obviously, there is. I don't understand why the officer told him to get up. The officer had him under control while he was down. And one of the things you want to do is keep your suspect down, keep the hands in sight, until help arrives. Asking him to get up at such a close range put the officer in danger, if the man was armed.
But what's most important here was that the man's hands don't contain anything.
SANCHEZ: Well, but you've been involved in a chase, you're already nervous, you're worked up. By the time you get there, you may do something, or your nerves may cause you to do something like that, where you mangle the language. Maybe he didn't mean to say, Get up, he meant to say, Shut up, as Chris Lawrence in his report pointed out.
MAMET: Possible. Well, that's true. These high-speed chases, generally excite the officer. And by the time the apprehension is made, the adrenaline is pumping like crazy.
But still, viewing this tape, I see the officer is much too close to the suspect. He should have been further away. And even if the man moved, it was -- appears to be no justification for shooting him.
SANCHEZ: So you're seeing some problems here.
I'm going to show you another case now. This is another one that has made headlines in just a recent week. The FBI's looking into this incident. This one is in the St. Louis area in Missouri. You're looking at it there.
The video shows several officers punching and kicking a man who had also led them on a chase. Let's watch this play out, and you can see for yourself that there certainly seems to be what most people would characterize as a beating.
We just saw right there, in fact, that police officer actually kick him once, and boom, there he goes and kicks him now from the other side.
Is there any justification for this type of reaction, Mr. Mamet, from police officers after they finally get a person in what appears to be control?
MAMET: No, there's no justification there. The only time force is required is to overcome force. Once the resistance is overcome, the force must cease. The kicking here is absolutely unnecessary.
SANCHEZ: Officers would argue, in some cases, that they'll do everything they can to control the victim.
Now, let's look at this again from the beginning. And I think you'll see, you'll see where the victim goes all the way to the wall. There it is. We missed that first part, but this is just as they arrive on the scene. Prior to that, they had him at the wall, and then he goes down on the ground, seemingly voluntarily.
Is there anything that would explain what they're doing or why?
MAMET: Well, they're obviously trying to get him under control. But there are other means. None of them seem to have batons. Officers carry OC spray, which is not being used here. There are many ways to control a suspect without using the kind of force they're using. There's four officers that I see, and they're pounding on him. And the guy in civilian clothes, I can't -- I'm not sure if he's an officer or not. He could be a civilian.
SANCHEZ: Well, let's finally get to this now. For people watching this videotape who wonder, You know, if I'm driving, and I'm in an area where police officers may be on guard, and I get pulled over, what should I do to make sure I don't confuse the situation and cause the police to perhaps over-respond?
MAMET: You should absolutely obey the police officer's command, not make any sudden gestures, and always keep your hands in the officer's view. The big thing is to let the officer see your hands, so that you don't have a weapon, and don't make any sudden moves as if you're reaching for a weapon.
Because the officers are hyped up from the chase, and, as I said before, the adrenaline is pumping. I've been in this situation myself. And it's a very critical time. So it's a dangerous time.
SANCHEZ: Is there any explanation for why officers do that in a situation like this? I mean, why it is that they sometimes seem to overreact? Is it just the adrenaline of the chase?
MAMET: No, a lot of it has to do with training, it has to do with the time in the job. Many young officers are not experienced. They don't really know how to handle themselves. The key is training and experience. The more training you have and the more experienced the officer, the less chance of these incidents occurring.
SANCHEZ: Edward Mamet, we thank you, sir, for taking time to talk to us. We certainly appreciate it.
MAMET: Thank you.
SANCHEZ: Thanks so much.
Betty, back over to you.
NGUYEN: Good information there. Thanks, Rick.
Well, lost and found, a wallet turns up almost 40 years after it disappears. Can you believe it? Coming up in our 9:00 a.m. Eastern hour, the owner reminisces about what's inside that wallet, a mini- time capsule from the late 1960s. You want to stay tuned for that.
And also for this, because all morning long, we are going to be following the procession of Coretta Scott King. As you recall, she died on Monday. And today, a funeral procession will take place through the streets of downtown Atlanta and to the state capital, where she will lie in state, the first time that honor has been bestowed to an African-American.
Stay tuned to more CNN SATURDAY MORNING.

NGUYEN: You know, it is just now February. And I -- you would think cold and flu season kind of making its way out. But you've got a head cold.
SANCHEZ: I do. And, you know, it's funny, because the weather here in this part of the country, anyway... NGUYEN: Hasn't been bad.
SANCHEZ: ... hasn't been seasonal, no. It's felt more like late spring than it has winter.
NGUYEN: I wonder if that's the problem.
Bonnie Schneider, you're here to talk about this cold and flu season.
SCHNEIDER: Well, you know, it's true, you always think about the change in the weather that triggers the cold. We're going to see that across a big part of the country. We're expecting this warm, mild January that we just had to turn into a much colder February.
Here's the way it's shaping up right now for your cold and flu report. These -- this is a look at states that are reporting outbreaks of the flu. And if you've been following this since December, you can see more and more states are reporting in with at least regional activity or sporadic outbreaks of the flu.
We're seeing widespread activity across a good portion of Texas. And further also to the north, California actually had some widespread activity, and now it's just regional, so that's some good news. South Carolina was doing well with no reports, but now we're starting to see some activity of the flu breaking out there.
Speaking of the South, wow, big change in the weather.

SCHNEIDER: So you just want to get in and get ready for the game.
Betty, Rick?
NGUYEN: Yes.
SANCHEZ: Boy, it's a good thing they put a roof on that stadium.
NGUYEN: I was going to say...
SCHNEIDER: Oh, yes.
NGUYEN: ... you want football weather, but you don't want that kind of weather.
(LAUGHTER)
SANCHEZ: You know, you know what the temperature's going to be there?
NGUYEN: What?
SANCHEZ: About 65, 70 degrees inside the stadium ...
SCHNEIDER: Well, inside.
NGUYEN: Inside, yes, that is the key. Should be a good game. Thank you, Bonnie.
SCHNEIDER: Sure.
SANCHEZ: Coming up at the top of the hour, by the way, a blast from the past. A wallet turns up almost 40 years after it disappeared, with all of the original contents still inside.
NGUYEN: Even the cash.
SANCHEZ: Can you believe that?
NGUYEN: Yes.
SANCHEZ: Yes, old cash, by the way. We're going to tell you what treasures it contained. That's at 9:00 Eastern.
NGUYEN: Hey, it works. Old, new, the cash works at any age, you know?
(LAUGHTER)
NGUYEN: But first, the struggle to be thin. It used to be considered a teenage girls' disease, but now, eating disorders are crossing gender and age lines. Next on "HOUSE CALL," Dr. Sanjay Gupta goes inside the life of a 46-year-old woman recovering from anorexia.
Her story and today's headlines right after this short break.
