we are talking about, though, the kim kardashian divorce. yeah, divorce. abc's diana alvear has the latest on this. good morning to you, diana. >> reporter: rob and cecilia, it turns out all of those rumors of marital trouble were true. although it does seem kris humphries had no idea his wife, kim kardashian, wanted out. they said it wouldn't last. and it didn't. just 72 days after saying "i do," kim kardashian officially filed for divorce from kris humphries, citing irreconcilable differences. the divorce comes less than three months after kardashian and the pro basketball player tied the knot during a $10 million wedding. captured on camera for a two-day event that aired on the e network. >> you're stuck with me. forever. >> reporter: while the couple's every tender moment has played out for an audience of millions, the ubiquitous reality star addressed the split only through a written statement. "after careful consideration i have decided to end my marriage," she said.

"i hope everyone understands this was not an easy decision. we remain friends and wish each other the best." the news may have blindsided humphries. he issued a statement of his own, reading, "i love my wife and am devastated to learn she filed for divorce. i'm committed to this marriage and everything this covenant represents. i'm willing to do whatever it takes to make it work." for a celebrity whose seemingly charmed life has been a hit on the small screen, kardashian seems resigned to the reality that unlike scripted shows life does not guarantee a happy ending. "i had hoped this marriage was forever, but sometimes things don't work out as planned." and while the marriage may be over, the financial fallout is just beginning. with her endorsements and her fashion line and her reality shows, kim kardashian's amassed a fortune worth millions. although it's said that kris humphries did sign a prenup. cecilia, rob? >> a prenup, i'm quite sure. and apparently the sticking point in all this was kris want

kim to move to his big home in minnesota. she's obviously not leaving l.a. and hollywood. >> she's not giving that up. have you called yet to put in a word -- >> there you go. if she needs a shoulder to cry on, i am there. not to be

this morning on "world news now," remarkable recovery. the california surfer who had a brush with death now thanks his friends, paramedics, as well as his doctors. and new warnings along the coast as experts believe they may have spotted the great white shark that attacked him. it's tuesday, november 1st. good tuesday morning, everybody. i'm rob nelson. >> tuesday. >> indeed.

>> we're here already. i'm cecilia vega. beaches are now on alert from san diego, where sharks were just sighted to monterey where the surfer was attacked on saturday. we'll hear about -- excuse me. we will hear from doctors about how lucky this victim is. >> very lucky indeed. but a scary time along the coast and parts of california. we'll have more on that. plus another headline this morning. the testy exchange between a key witness in the conrad murray trial and a prosecutor. you'll hear the war of words that led to a $1,000 fine. things getting kind of heated as the trial winds down. >> it is. and later this half hour, the couple in hawaii hauled off to jail. this story is something else. and their daughter was put into state custody because they forgot to pay a $5 price tag for their sandwiches in a safeway supermarket. >> that story's going to have you scratching your head a little bit. what is going on here? >> a weird one. >> truly strange. but first this morning, a warning to swimmers and surfers off the san diego coast. there is a great white shark in the water.

>> experts say it's highly unusual to see the huge predator in this area of the pacific. further north along the central california coast a surfer is lucky to be alive after his nearly fatal encounter with a great white. could it be the same one? here's kgo's david lui. >> reporter: eric tarantino had to be treated for shark bites to his right arm, to his neck, and to his left thumb. the wound to his neck was just two millimeters from the carotid artery. if torn open, massive bleeding would have resulted with possibly deadly consequences. the 27-year-old surfer said he would make only this brief statement. >> i just want to thank everyone that supported me, all my friends on the beach, the paramedics especially who helped me in the ambulance. they did a great job. also, obviously, everyone at the hospital. and yeah, i just feel really lucky and grateful right now. >> reporter: tarantino managed to get to shore with the help of a fellow surfer. friends then applied a tourniquet to control the bleeding. the shark took a significant bite out of tarantino's surfboard.

doctors performed surgery on his neck and thumb. >> he's recovering from his surgery quite well. the arm has been repaired as well. and he seems to be very happy with his recovery and happy to be going back home. >> reporter: dr. klein said tarantino will be on painkillers and he's concerned about bacteria from the shark's mouth complicating recovery. >> he will be on antibiotics for a brief period to make sure that the wounds which are all closed. >> reporter: new warning signs have gone up to alert surfers and swimmers of the shark attack. this sign was posted at moss landing. as tarantino left the hospital with his girlfriend, krista herr, he left reporters with these parting words. >> feeling good. thank you. >> mm. >> that was kgo tv's david lui reporting from the san francisco bay area. he was in san jose for that story. this has got people nervous out there. >> it should be. you saw the scar against that guy's neck. ut for the duration of this week. so a few more days on edge.

>> and they've had a big problem with shark attacks off the australian coast too. they say the sharks are following these whale migrations down there, they're seeing a lot more attacks than they have in previous years. but they don't know why they're seeing more sharks. so interesting phenomenon going on right now. >> that's why i stay out of the water. >> i'm more of a beachgoer. >> i'll be at the swim-up bar. a team of doctors at stanford university will work together to separate a set of conjoined twins today. 2-year-old angelina and angelica sabuco are joined at the chest and abdomen. they share a liver. their hearts touch also. the operation is expected to take nine hours. doctors say the outlook for the girls is good and certainly better than the risk of them staying the way they are. >> fingers crossed for those two little girls. in other news this morning, president obama's doctors say he has finally kicked the habit. results of his annual checkup show that mr. obama is tobacco-free after years of sneaking an occasional cigarette. the report also shows he has ideal cholesterol, excellent

blood pressure, which is surprising considering the job. the blood pressure's actually 107 over 71. the president also is at a normal weight, about 181 pounds. their conclusion, the commander in chief is fit to serve. and another piece of the president's job bill is up for debate this week by lawmakers in the senate. democratic leader harry reid is introducing a $70 billion plan to rebuild roads, bridges, and the nation's infrastructure. it would be paid for by a tax on the rich, and of course that virtually guarantees it will be defeated just like a previous $35 billion bill designed to boost hiring. and now to the controversy swirling around the herman cain presidential campaign. the gop front-runner is denying a report that he sexually harassed two women back in the 1990s. but cain's story changed throughout the day as to whether the women got a financial settlement because of their claims. >> there was some sort of settlement or termination, and i don't even know what the contents of that was.

>> this is a moment that is going to test the ability of the cain campaign to truly run for president. >> reporter: in an interview later with fox news cain said he did know about that -- he did know at least some of the -- pardon me, he did know about some of the settlements. and abc news confirms that both the women got money in connection with their charges. we will learn today whether michael jackson's doctor will testify in his own defense. conrad murray told the judge in his manslaughter case that he would make his final decision after talking with his attorneys. in court yesterday some combative testimony involving the defense's star witness. abc's jim avila reports. >> you keep throwing out these kind of rehearsed lines i think. >> reporter: day 21 of court. and on the last day of the defense case the testiest of testimony. >> would the court admonish the witness? >> reporter: the prosecutor, david walgren, versus the star defense witness. paid $3,500 a day for his testimony, dr. paul white, who

says conrad murray may have just forgotten a detail when he did not tell emergency room doctors he was giving michael jackson propofol. >> it was obviously overlooked. he didn't -- >> well, not obviously. it could also be a lie, correct? correct? that's another option. >> if you say so, i guess, yeah. >> reporter: deputy d.a. walgren back on the attack over dr. murray's delay in dialing 911. because the jackson mansion had no landlines. >> conrad murray had a cell phone in his hands by his own statement. are you saying he was not capable of pushing 911? >> reporter: in the end the expert who helped dr. murray so much last week, explaining how jackson could have taken his own life, conceded dr. murray should never have taken the job. >> it's something that no amount of money could convince me to accept or take on as a responsibility. >> reporter: it became so combative the judge had to step in, fining dr. white $1,000 for not answering the prosecutor's questions directly. jim avila, abc news, new york.

>> interesting to me that even dr. white seems to on the sand admit some level of negligence on conrad murray's part. so even the defense witnesses have a hard time justifying everything the doctor did. >> they could be wrapping up soon. we're going to be hearing from one more propofol expert on the stand probably later today. >> as well as the big decision from conrad himself. whether to -- >> whether he takes the stand or not. >> should be interesting. >> yeah. operators of a power plant in suburban milwaukee say things should be back to normal today. that's saying something, considering a football field-sized section of a cliff gave way yesterday. look at that. right next to the facility. the plant is right on the side of the shore of lake michigan. a pick-up truck, some trailers, and other equipment were swept into the lake. luckily, though, no one was injured. to the story everyone's talking about this week. jetblue's top executive is now apologizing for the airline's performance during last weekend's snowstorm. six jetblue flights were diverted to bradley airport in hartford, connecticut. passengers were forced to stay on the tarmac for as long as 7 1/2 hours.

one jetblue pilot begged the tower for help that he acknowledged his own company did not provide. >> at jetblue you count on us for a lot more, and we promise a lot more, and we know we let some of you down over the course of this weekend. and for that we are truly sorry. >> jetblue says it is cooperating with a government investigation into the incident. the company could be fined more than $3 million for each flight on which passengers were delayed more than three hours. and power company crews are working around the clock to repair the damage from the storm. a million and a half homes and businesses in seven states are still offline. this blow comes just two months after many utilities were knocked out by hurricane irene. in some places the damage could be worse. and now the deaths of 25 people including one in canada are being blamed on this storm. wow. >> what an awful weekend. as for today's forecast, the big weather story today is in the rockies, where rain will turn to snow. areas around denver could see up to a foot of the white stuff

before it's all over. it will be clear across most of the south. but there will be some showers down in south florida. morning showers, meanwhile, for the northeast, clear on the west coast. >> and temperatures will be seasonable in the southwest. 67 in omaha. 72 in kansas city. and the big easy hit 74. 82 in miami. and 54 here in new york. >> get your elbow ready. because it's time for our -- boom. favorite story of the day. and what is really better this time of year than a little football? >> it's football season. it's cold out there, too, huh? football and how about a reunion? this one took place down in mississippi. brothers garrett and will griffin and their sister the cheerleader were surprised when dad showed up at the field. >> i love these stories. dad, specialist michael griffin, had been serving in iraq for a little more than a year. mom called the reunion "simply the most amazing moment ever." great for those little kids. >> you cannot top that. >> no. >> those videos. you just can't top it. look at that. i love that.

station kitv has more. >> reporter: when nicole leszczynski and her husband went shopping with their 3-year-old daught daughter zophia at the bear canyon safeway. nicole, 30 weeks pregnant, and after walking to the store she says she felt dizzy. the couple grabbed a couple of sandwiches from the deli and ate while they shopped. they say they paid with wick vouchers and had to separate groceries to use different vouchers. their daughter was fussy. they didn't pay for the sandwiches they had eaten. >> and we walked out. we probably got about five feet. and these two guys walk up and they're like, where's the receipt for those sandwiches you ate? and i was like, oh, oh, i totally forgot to pay for them. >> reporter: they offered to pay, but after being detained several hours police came and the store manager insisted they be charged. since they both ate a sandwich, both nicole and her husband were handcuffed, arrested, and taken to the police cell block. their daughter was taken by child protective services. after their arrest for fourth

degree theft, the lowest form of misdemeanor, they were released. but cps kept their daughter. >> it was -- it was like a nightmare. i couldn't believe that it was happening. >> reporter: they were told their daughter could be kept for three days while cps investigated. but they say after media calls to cps little zophia was returned. >> the humiliation factor was over for me very quickly when it was evident that my daughter was going to be taken from me. and i feel like the -- this was taken way overboard. >> boy, you could say that again. >> yeah. a little -- slight overreaction about some sandwiches. you know, plus they paid for the other food. clearly they had the money to pay for their stuff. >> and they kept the price tag for the sandwiches in their cart. they clearly meant to do it. but they're hauled off in handcuffs and their little girl is taken away by child protective services for a $5 sandwich? >> police, though, they say, have been apologetic and they're sorry for what happened. but still, you know, how does it

get that far? weird. >> they've got a lawyer now. they're looking at whether they can maybe actually sue safeway. safeway says they're looking into this -- >> who sues these days? it's so rare. coming up, who impressed the judges last night on "dancing with the stars"? >> and then the big hollywood story. kim, kris, their elaborate wedding, and now the elaborate divorce. after just 72 days.

was all prearranged. other folks are saying this is a complete shock, we feel so bad. and now there's questions too about what will happen to the reality show. they've already taped the next season of the sisters' reality show. but of course this divorce won't be part of that footage. how do they correct the -- correct the -- the shows now that this has all happened here. he's 26. she's 31. and they just could not make it work. she says, "after careful consideration i've decided to end my marriage." how careful could it be? they dated for a few months. they were married a little over two months. how careful could it be? >> you know this wedding there is reportedly anywhere from 10 to 18 million dollars that they had. it's this special that's gone on for days and days now. they're going to start airing it again. >> oh, yeah. >> and if you divide that $10 million up by the 72 days, do you know how much this wedding cost per day they've been married? >> they've made about a quarter million dollars every day of the marriage here. the whole thing is really nuts. and they made money, not only with the tv rights. they made money off the exclusive pictures to magazines. so there are a lot of assets here. there is a prenup.

so all her stuff is protected. but a lot of questions about what went wrong. >> the sisters were all over the tweets today talking about you know, it was love and you've got to be supportive and -- >> i think this is a sham. >> you can call her -- >> there we are. her new man. breaking news right here on "world news now." but this is a weird story. i smell publicity stunt. i'm just saying. but we'll talk about it. where sleepless nights yield to restful sleep. and lunesta can help you get there, like it has for so many people before. when taking lunesta, don't drive or operate machinery until you feel fully awake. walking, eating, driving, or engaging in other activities while asleep, without remembering it the next day, have been reported. abnormal behaviors may include aggressiveness, agitation, hallucinations or confusion. in depressed patients, worsening of depression, including risk of suicide, may occur. alcohol may increase these risks. allergic reactions, such as tongue or throat swelling, occur rarely and may be fatal.
