we return to the scene with the good samaritan, whose quick thinking may have saved his life. >> sean's in stable condition right now. >> we're glad to hear that. we begin with the extreme heat taking hold across the east right now. yunji de nies is in one of the hottest cities in the nation, our nation's capital. in washington. good morning, yunji. >> reporter: good morning, robin. the last 24 hours here have been brutally hot. and especially tough for emergency responders. today, it is expected to only get worse. >> imagine a sauna. that's close to it. >> reporter: with the official start of summer three weeks away, extreme heat has taken over the entire eastern half of the u.s., setting records in at least a dozen cities. baltimore hit 98 degrees. >> we had 90 degrees in chicago. we had 96 degrees in washington, d.c. it climbed to 94 in raleigh, north carolina. that tied a record from 1953. >> reporter: at least 20 people were rushed to the hospital here in the nation's capital, including several teenagers from ohio, who were performing in a memorial day parade.

>> clear it out. got to clear it out. >> reporter: and on this beach near chicago, four people suffering from exhaustion were carried away on stretchers. police later shut the beach down. >> we just heard a lot of ruckus. it was like a riot. everybody was just everywhere. and police came. and they shut it down. >> reporter: in virginia and maryland today, heat advisories for the heat and humidity will make it feel over 100 degrees. people hit the beach and parks. but many ducked for cover from the blistering sun. >> it feels like when you first open an oven door. >> reporter: and the warm temperatures will make way for severe and stormy conditions. that means the midwest will once again be ripe for tornadoes. robin? >> okay yunji, thank very much. now, to the story whose headline could be again? another global money man arrested at an upscale new york hotel, accused of sexually assaulting a maid. our chief legal correspondent

and "20/20" anchor chris cuomo, has been tracking this from the hotel. >> reporter: well, the similarities are interesting at least. another posh new york city hotel. another hotel maid, who said she was sexually assaulted by a foreign banker. >> have you told your family yet? >> reporter: for the second time this month, a prominent international banker is led away in handcuffs after an alleged sexual assault of a maid at a posh manhattan hotel. this time, the accused is 74-year-old mahmoud abdel salam omar. the former chief of egypt's bank of alexandria. he was staying here at the upscale pierre hotel, where suites run over $1,000 a night. sources tell abc news that at approximately 6:00 p.m. on sunday, omar called to have tissues delivered to his room. a 44-year-old maid claims that when she arrives, omar wearing pajamas, asks her to place the tissues on a table inside his room.

she alleges that omar closes the door and locks it, trapping her in the room. immediately attacking her and tries to kiss and fondle her. the maid fights off the advances. and tells authorities, i'm not here for that. then, the maid says, omar asks for her phone number. she thinks fast and gives him a false number. finally, he lets her go. this incident comes two weeks after former imf chairman, dominique strauss-kahn, was arrested for an alleged assault on a maid at the sofitel hotel. just 17 blocks away. strauss-kahn is under house arrest at a $50,000 a month townhouse awaiting trial. now, mr. omar's expected to be arraigned this morning. the charges expected to be less serious than what we saw with dominique strauss-kahn. however, a consideration here, george, is this event happened sunday night. was not reported until monday morning. the maid reportedly went to management, said what happened.

was told she had to wait to report to her direct supervisor. so, why that delay? we're trying to nail that down, george. >> even though she did go to one supervisor right away. chris, thanks very much. sarah palin is not revealing if she's made a decision about running for president. and her east coast bus tour is keeping everyone guessing. our jon karl is in sizzling washington with the latest on all that. good morning, jon. >> reporter: good morning, robin. it has all the makings of another reality tv show. the sarah palin guessing game. is she running for president? or just playing tourist? the itinerary looks like just another summer vacation. the lincoln memorial. the national archives. mt. vernon. at gettysburg, on a video posted on "the new york times" website, she was asked what a palin campaign would look like. >> ooh. it would definitely be unconventional and nontraditional, yes. knowing -- knowing us. >> what do you think the odds

are you will run? >> i don't know. i honestly don't know. it's still, you know, a matter of looking at the field and considering much. >> reporter: the field suggests an opening for somebody. in the latest gallup poll, none of the above comes in first, ahead of all of them, including palin herself. her tour started over the weekend on a harley. and now, she's on a campaign-style bus. the only news organization that seems to know where she is going is fox news, where she is a paid commentator. >> i don't think i owe anything to the mainstream media. i think that it would be a mistake for me to become some kind of conventional politician. no. i want them to have to do a little bit of work on a tour like this. >> she wouldn't be doing this tour unless she wanted to keep her options open. >> reporter: palin's tour, it's been reported but she won't confirm, is headed north to first primary state new

hampshire, the place where presidential hopes are made or broken. but as nontraditional as ever, we don't actually know where palin is heading. she just won't say. if she is heading to new hampshire, it's news to the new hampshire republican party. i spoke late yesterday to a spokesperson for the new hampshire republicans who said that palin has not reached out to them. in fact, they say they have absolutely no idea if she's going to show up. george? >> okay, jon. thanks. we're joined by the contender who most definitely is in new hampshire this morning. congresswoman michele bachmann. from manchester. thanks for joining us. you have been everywhere. iowa, south carolina, new hampshire this morning. you sure sound like a candidate. is there anything that could stop you from running at this point? >> well, we'll be making our announcement next month. we'll be making it in the city i was born, conveniently enough, in waterloo, iowa. so i'm looking forward to that. so we'll let you all know when that comes. >> i don't think you go to the city where you were born to say you're not running for president. that's a good start right now. but let me ask you about sarah

palin. she's being much more coy than you are about this campaign. and i know you might resist the comparison. some might think it's sexist. but is there enough room in this race for both of you, both tea party favorites? >> oh, sure. i think there's enough room for a lot of contenders. and i think there's no question in 2012, the republicans will field a wide bench of contenders against president obama. and i think the comparison will be very favorable. >> what's the one thing that sets you apart from sarah palin? >> well, again i compare myself to barack obama. not to any of the other republican candidates. first of all, i want to say i like sarah palin a lot. we're friends. and i don't consider her a competitor. i consider her a friend. but my comparison ultimately is to barack obama. i created a successful company. i'm a tax litigation attorney. i've raised 28 children in my

home. i have a number of wide experiences that i bring to the table. and that's my comparison. >> you have no problem running, though, against a friend? >> no. not at all. not at all. >> let me ask you about medicare because congressman paul ryan's medicare plan is certain to be at the center of this debate as well. i'm a little bit confused at your position. you voted for it. but now, you say that support comes with an asterisk. so will president bachmann support and sign the bill that congresswomanbachmann voted for? >> paul ryan is right, we have to make medicare solvent. we know it's going into insolvency. the asterisk is that people don't recognize that this is about people that are 55 and under. i don't want a 78-year-old woman

to think that medicare will be pulled from under her. it won't. it's the 55 and under plan. the reforms in medicare will affect people 65 -- >> that is congressman ryan's plan. so, you would sign the plan into law, if you were president? >> the other portion i think is very important is in the middle of dealing with all insurance and numbers, we can't forget humanity. and what i would want to focus on, george, are cures. cures for alzheimer's. cures for diabetes, that occur in senior citizens. and i think just like polio, when we're able to see polio successfully eradicated from the united states, that's what i also want to focus on are cures, particularly as we have an increasing senior population. >> i understand that. but does that mean that you would sign the bill or not? >> well, i think some version of this bill because paul is right. we have to sustain medicare. we can't let it just go away for senior citizens. and that's exactly what he's trying to do. i agree with what paul's trying to do. >> you have a big event in your family this weekend. your daughter graduates from high school.

you mentioned how many children you have raised. you've seen a lot of potential candidates not run this time because their family was not firmly behind them. is yours ready for this run? >> i have a wonderful family. my husband marcus and i have been married 33 years this year. our youngest daughter has her birthday today. happy birthday, sofia. our family is at an interesting crossroads. all the children will be graduated and out of high school. after 29 years of parenting, george, it will be a very different household. we're in a very different position. everyone is onboard. extremely supportive. and it does help to have a lot of hands on deck in a campaign. >> i'll bet. one solution for the empty nest is to run for president. >> i guess so. >> good luck with that. and happy birthday to sofia. thank you, congresswoman. >> thank you, george. and that interview sets up

our app question of the day. is there room for sarah palin and michele bachmann in the 2012 race? vote now using your phones or head to our website. >> all right, george. the space shuttle "endeavour" is preparing to land shortly after midnight tonight after 16 days in space. you know the astronaut in charge commander mark kelly, will have a chance to see his wife gabby giffords, again. she has been in the hospital since january. bob woodruff has been following this story for us. >> it's been amazing. they haven't seen each other for more than two weeks now. but they've been able to talk to each other via the internet. as long as the weather holds, it will land at the kennedy space center in florida, after what has been a very successful flight. the u.s. shuttle program was launched almost 30 years ago. >> liftoff for the final launch of "endeavour." >> reporter: the images here in the darkness of space are still stunning. but this is the last shuttle flight for this crew, their final spacewalk. i know it's hard for us to

imagine what you're seeing when you look out that window or you walk out in space. how would you describe it? >> to see that hardware underneath you. to see the horizon. and to understand what we've done as a nation and a world, to build the international space station is spectacular. >> reporter: they've accomplished a lot up here. spacewalker, mike fincke holds the u.s. record for time in space, 38 o'days. >> i hope my record is soon broken. >> reporter: but they're trying to explain the origins of the universe. hauling this machine into space so they can search for unusual types of matter. all right, you astronauts. you got about ten seconds to explain to me exactly what alpha magnetic spectrometer does for us in understanding the origins of the universe. go ahead. >> understanding the universe, what it is how it all got here. how it was formed. these are fundamental questions. this is what they'll be trying to understand for us. >> reporter: despite the

science, this trip for commander mark kelly has been extremely emotional. his wife, gabby giffords, is still recovering from the shooting in tucson almost five months ago. you made your decision to go up into space while she's still going into surgery. i can only assume that that was a good decision for you to do. >> i think it was the right decision. she was ready for the surgery. >> reporter: and he shared some good news. >> she'll be doing rehab, you know, for some continuing period of time. but at some point pretty soon she will become an outpatient. so, we're really looking forward to that. and it's all really encouraging. >> reporter: very encouraging. after the "endeavour" lands in florida tomorrow, there will be only one more shuttle flight, the "atlantis," which is supposed to land in early july. although this means the end to the shuttle program, the hope is that nasa will now turn to deep space exploration, with astronauts heading to asteroids and some day mars. >> thank you.

in those fridges. we'll get to rich in a minute. first in this half hour the latest in the death penalty trial of casey anthony. her mother is expected to return to the witness stand today with what could be more dramatic testimony about the disappearance and death of her granddaughter, little caylee. ashleigh banfield has been tracking all of this for us and has the latest. good morning, ashleigh. >> good morning, robin. one week into the trial. and it's been bruising to casey anthony. the moment her daughter was last seen alive to the time of the murder. and the most critical testimony is coming from the people who love this accused killer the most. grim-faced and sober, casey anthony has heard six days of damning evidence against her. >> did you ever see her distraught? >> no, sir. >> depressed? >> no, sir. >> how did she appear?

>> completely normal. >> she was happy. >> she was upbeat and happy. >> reporter: her defense, this child wasn't murdered or missing. but drowned accidentally in the backyard pool. >> this is a tragedy that snowballed out of control. >> reporter: the accusation that years of sexual abuse by both her father and her brother made her into a natural liar. >> have you ever sexually molested your daughter? >> no, sir. >> did you dispose of the body of your granddaughter? >> no, i did not. >> reporter: a father, who picked up his daughter's car, after it was towed, where he and even the truck driver, noticed an ominous smell. >> was that the odor of a human corpse? >> the instant flash in my mind was -- i know what that smells like. >> i said don't let this be casey or caylee. >> after june 15th of 2008 did

you see your granddaughter, caylee, again? >> no, ma'am i did not. >> reporter: another tough break, casey's mom on the stand, listing lies and excuses casey told as to why she couldn't see her granddaughter for 30 days. >> there was a car accident. >> reporter: the defense did its best to mitigate the damage. >> would you say she was a good mother? >> i would. >> reporter: the mountain of evidence builds against her. this is just the prosecution's case. and things always look bad out of the gate. cindy anthony is expected to continue her testimony later today. then, we may actually hear from lee anthony, the brother in this case. we continue to watch, robin. >> thanks very much. and joining us again is our legal analyst, dan abrams. as we heard from ashleigh six, tense days. let's look forward.

what can we expect from the prosecution first? >> expect they're going to continue to go chronologically. we're probably going to hear from the police officers. and continuing with the prosecution's theme that she was telling lies because the police officers are now going to be able to demonstrate that she was lying to them. she was sending them on wild goose chases. she wasn't being honest with them. et cetera. that's the next phase of the profession. >> they have taken it step-by-step, day-by-day. >> that part of the evidence is so strong for the prosecution. the more you can focus on that period where she is just lying and lying and lying, the stronger the prosecution's case is. >> what about the defense going forward? >> the defense is going to begin with its cross-examination of cindy anthony, the mother. and that's probably going to happen today. it will be interesting to see how hard the defense attorney goes after her. very aggressive cross-examination of the father, somewhat to be expected. the theory of the defense is he

was abusing casey anthony as a child. there's no allegation like that against the mother. it will be interesting to see how aggressive a cross-examination they pursue against her, even though she's offered damming testimony. >> may back off of her. they have been supportive. they have stood by their daughter. are we seeing signs that perhaps the support is shifting a bit? >> sure. when the parents start talking about, they hope that the justice system works, et cetera you can tell they are no longer totally in her camp. with that said, if you believe the prosecution, then these are parents who are in an impossible situation, which is they grew up with both -- they raised this granddaughter and this daughter. so they want to be in -- they don't want to be in this position. >> any evidence, or any testimony that supports casey's case? >> underlining the prosecution's case helps the defense case.

the defense case hasn't started yet. >> thanks. we're going to turn to the latest on hip-hop star sean kingston. he's in stable but critical condition after crashing a jet ski into a miami beach bridge sunday morning. linsey davis has more on kingston's rescue and the man who saved him. >> reporter: his songs are the sound of summer. ♪ beautiful girls ♪ >> reporter: the singer is lucky to be alive this morning, after crashing a jet ski into a bridge this holiday weekend. kingston and his passenger were both in the water. >> we don't know if it was a direct hit or a glancing blow. they did collide with the bridge and ended up in the water. >> reporter: he remains in a miami hospital. jonathan rivera is a member of the coast guard but happened to be off-duty and out in his boat when he was called over to the scene to help. >> i grabbed my arms under his

armpits and picked up his whole body out of the water. and i grabbed on to the jet ski, so he was like this. >> reporter: rivera says kingston didn't say anything. but he said he understood what he was saying. >> i told him there is help coming. keep your head up. >> reporter: officials say there is nothing at this point to say that alcohol was involved in the crash. earlier this month he tweeted, i love miami, jet skis anyone? bun day before the accident he appeared to be having a great time as he cruised collins avenue, during miami's beach week a popular hip-hop festival. the singer's publicist would say, sean kingston is now stabilized and has moved from the trauma unit to the icu. sean's family thanks everyone for their support at this time. pop celebrity, like justin bieber, have taken to twitter. a true friend and big bro. keep him in your prayers

tonight. kingston also alcoholic beverage rated on a song with rihanna, who tweeted, sean we praying for you, baby. it's important to know that his female companion was treated and released from the hospital. as far as kingston's music, one thing that makes it unique in the hip-hop world is he refuses to use profanity. i talked to his mother. she said he's hooked up to machines but is very responsive. >> that's good news. linsey, thanks very much. let's go to the weather now. colleen coyle of our dallas station, wfaa is in for sam. good morning colleen. >> good morning, everyone. let's look at the storm where it's moving over the next couple days. this is in atkinson nebraska. there were 20 reported tornadoes around nebraska and south dakota yesterday. and look at that hail. golf ball to grapefruit-sized hail. where are the storms moving? they're going to be moving into the great lakes area. violent storms.

we could see hail and wind, as well as isolated tornadoes. the record heat sizzling this weather report has been brought to you by chili's. george? >> thank you, colleen. coming up snooki of "the jersey shore" has a run-in with go bold instead of the same old -- with chili's new $6 lunch break combos. choose from a house salad or hot, tasty soup. then pair it with a massive texas toast half sandwich, like our delicious classic turkey or our gigantic new southwestern blt smothered in cilantro lime mayo and jam-packed with three glorious slices of applewood smoked bacon.

[ male announcer ] ask your doctor about pristiq -- a prescription medicine proven to treat depression. pristiq is thought to work by affecting the levels of two chemicals in the brain -- serotonin and norepinephrine. tell your doctor right away if your depression worsens or you have unusual changes in mood, behavior, or thoughts of suicide. anti-depressants can increase suicidal thoughts and behaviors in children, teens, and young adults. pristiq is not approved for children under 18. do not take pristiq with maois. taking pristiq with nset pain relievers, aspirin, or blood thinners may increase bleeding risk. tell your doctor about all your medications, including those for migraine, to avoid a potentially life threatening condition. pristiq may cause or worsen high blood pressure, high cholesterol, or glaucoma. tell your doctor if you have heart disease or before

you reduce or stop taking pristiq. side-effects may include nausea, dizziness and sweating. for me, pristiq is a key in helping me treat my depression. hello! these are our ocean spray sparkling juice drinks in cranberry and pomegranate blueberry. they have bubbles and come in these really cool cans. it's real fruit juice, crisp sparkling water, and no added sugar. comes in diet, too. it's refreshing, tasty -- the whole family will love it. you want one? i'll wait a bit. all right. mmm. refreshing. real juice. real bubbly. find it in the juice aisle. it always happens. i buy plants, i bring them home and then...i water too little... too much... or i just forget. but look. this is doing fine. why? it's planted in miracle-gro moisture control potting mix. it holds 33% more water... than ordinary potting soil. releasing it as plants need it. not when i get around to it. and there's miracle-gro plant food mixed in. so you get miracle-gro results...

lara thank goodness no one was hurt. but no alcohol involved. >> reporter: that's the good news. good morning, george. before the cast of "the jersey shore" got there, italian officials had their reservations, making clear that bad behavior wouldn't be tolerated. so snooki and gang are in a situation, if you will will italian police. from the sculpted masterpiece of michelangelo's david. to the sculpted abs of the situation, chances are this italian town has never seen the likes of this. >> you're under arrest. >> reporter: the ever-tanned cast of "jersey shore," is bringing their ratings-grabbing bad behavior under the tuscan sun. just two weeks into the tour of italy, nicole polizzi, and deena

cortese, have had their run-in with police, literally. the officers were left with minor cuts bruises and whiplash. the driver snooki was taken to the central police station to fill out an accident report. >> we knew something like this was going to happen. there's an inevitability to it. that's why millions watch the reality tv every week. >> reporter: no arrests were made. and no alcohol was involved. but officials are watching closely. the mayor had banned the crew from any historic sites. and from their almost trademark public drinking. even in flight clubs. >> florence is not the place of this kind of italian culture, of this version. >> reporter: and antics like deena, hanging over a historic bridge, don't help their image. back in the states critics of the show says it glorifies the

italian-american stereotype. and is it glorifying the stereotype abroad, as well? >> it's a little late for that. i'm sure the italians have a well-formed opinion of the ugly american tourist. >> reporter: as much as the italians may cringe at their distant paisanos. the loyal followers are helping pump tourist dollars into this hen sans renaissance city. i guess the car was wedged and created major tie-ups. that probably didn't win any popularity contests for the star, who, along with the rest of the cast, is reportedly making $100,000 an episode this season. >> cringing all the way to the bank. lara, thanks very much. coming up princess kate's royal reinvention. the announcement from london on our royal coming-out party, as

themselves mr. and mrs. wales, a real-life fairy tale. now, they're ready for the formal coming out. a full-fledged tour to the u.s. and canada next month with all the trappings of public love. a nine-day tour of ottawa, prince edward island, the northwest territories, alberta, and a grand finale in los angeles. >> he'll be attending the rodeo in calgary. that's one of the biggest events. and he'll be trying to fly a helicopter. and i think there will be a few more surprises from william and kate. >> reporter: with three dress changes a day, we can expect to see kate in 40 different outfits. >> every outfit will be closely analyzed. and she made the decision to choose them herself. >> reporter: the new lives will incorporate tradition. but william has made it clear that the duke and duchess of cambridge will do it their way and on their terms.

>> william is keen to put his own stamp on things. and so is kate. what we saw with the wedding day, when they came out in the convertible car behind me that was classic william and kate. >> reporter: william and kate are thor rely modern royals even showing affection. kate cooks, cleans and shops herself. but all eyes will still be on the princess. >> hello. >> kate? >> reporter: like diana, kate has become a style icon in her own rite. her engagement dress quickly sold out. as did the burberry trench coat she wears with william. >> kate will be brushing up on her french skills to impress her canadian hosts next month. >> reporter: and no doubt, she will charm everyone just as she did last month on her big day. because kate's choosing more affordable fashion doesn't mean she's not raking it in for

retailers. the dress she wore for her engagement photos was all sold out. the store raked in $25,000 of sales from that one dress. >> waiting for that trip. let's bring in royal correspondent, katie nicholl, who has written the cover story on kate and william for "vanity fair." it's back to work now for the royal couple. the first official engagement. before we look at the american tour, what should we expect over the next month in great britain? >> hi, george. it's lovely to be back with you. we're going to have a complete treat. we have prince philip's 90th birthday party. we'll see the royal couple, really, for the first time since their wedding. it was a snapshot with them last week, at the state visit with the obamas. they will be counting down for canada. this will be a nine-day tour eight cities. a lot of fun.

it's a very big deal over here. and they have counterparts over in l.a. that's one of the large reasons they're going to go there. >> and we know kate is such a style icon. but what kind of message is she going to try to send on this tour? >> well, i think this is going to be not just about what clothes she wears but what she's capable of doing. fitting into a royal role. she always said, and go back to that engagement interview, where she said she would follow william's lead. i think this is going to be her first opportunity to really show that. she is ultimately not just a style icon. she's an ambassador for great britain. and i think what better opportunity to showcase this and her ability to do this than a big tour of north america. of course, it's the first time she's been. you pointed out the personal link there. there is. her grandfather used to fly. he was an r.a.f. pilot and used to fly in calgary. they're going to make a visit to the calgary stampede. i can't wait to watch that. i think it will be a fantastic, colorful photograph opportunity.
