>> erin, what they've done is they've filed a brief. let me tell you something, daniela is very lucky. she's an outstanding woman from everhing i can see. and she's exactly the type of person that the president is protecting with the policy that he announced last month. i'm not sure i understand what she's complaining about and what her attorney's upset about. there is nothing that i've seen, nothing that i've read, which indicates that she's going to be out of the country in two years. quite to the contrary, she's the first one. she got granted the reprieve in march. she's the first one probably in the country to get this. so they ought to be applauding president obama and this great initiative. >> all right, nira, please respond. >> of course, of course. and i disagree. basically what's happening here is there's contradictions between what the president said and what the agencies of the department of homeland security are doing. clearly, the chief counsel in miami is going against what the president said. they're basically saying in t

erin, this is obviously a serious problem in this country. both sides could probably agree on this, but they won't. >> you're right. but i think the bigger thing here is that the white house has already said that president obama will not be pushing for more gun control. and you just had on congresswoman schakowsky, who is saying we need to have a national conversation about this. i don't think that's going to happen when you already have a democratic president in office, in the white house, saying they're not going to push for more. we have some people like new york mayor michael bloomberg who's pushing for it, but unless more people like that, big names come out and start talking about it, it doesn't seem like anything will change. >> keith, is this a missed opportunity for the white house to take a strong stance on this and push for things to go forward in the sec administration of president obama, if he were lucky enough to be elected? >> honestly, yes, it is a missed opportunity. i wish the white house would do more. i don't expect them t

erin. >> thanks, mohammed jamjoom. >>> now beijing. china announced its economy is only growing at 7.6%. you might say that's fast. 7.6%. the problem is, it's not for china. and right now, as goes china goes the world. gordon chang, author of "the coming collapse of china" tells me it is even worse than this indicates. stan grant tells us why china's news is so bad for us. >> reporter: the lowest growth in three years. this is not just going to be a worry for china. this is going to send a bit of a shiver through the rest of the world as well. u.s., europe, other big markets affected by the global financial crisis. china has remained one of the real bright spots. the real engine of growth for the world economy. now, there are signs china's growth engines are starting to peter out. it's no longer exporting as much. it can't continue to rely on endless investment. somehow, they have to get people here spending. they have to find ways to boost consumption. all of this happening as it tries to engineer a steady transition of power at the t

erin? >> thanks to mohammed. >>> let's check in with anderson with a look at what's coming up on "a.c. 360." >> we have an exclusive report about crime at sea and how much more common it is than you may realize, about how little protection there is for those victimized on an ocean cruise. and in the end, how little justice some people may be getting. >>> also, the divorce between katie holmes and holmes and tom cruise is final. it was settled apparently amicably. a former member of the church of scientology talks about her own divorce. president obama's tax cut proposal, all that, the riduculist, at the top of the hour, erin. >> now, our fifth story out front. sharks in the water. a great white 12 to 14 feet long that was cruising off the waters of cape cod. that's where first-time kai yauker walter was vacationing when he found himself -- it's like you can hear the "jaws" music, face-to-face with a great white saturday. it was right out of "jaws." >> you're going to need a bigger boat. >>

that's the math. >> that's right, erin. it's not possible for us to either tax our way or spend our way or cut spending to solve the current problem we have. we have record low federal revenues and record high federal spending post-world war ii and we're in our 28th month of private sector job growth. to strengthen that job growth, we have to continue to make some smart investments. we have to invest in innovation and infrastructure and education. but we have to allow some tax expenditures, some loopholes to be closed or to expire so the broad run of americans believe that this system is getting fairer. >> why wouldn't you go for that, then? why not just go for that and do a deal where you close the loopholes, lower rates but the wealthier end up paying more, you deal with this fairness issue instead of taking the politically easy path of raising taxes on some people and not others and not dealing with the loopholes at all? this thing he said today doesn't do anything with that, nothing. >> my real hope is that we will move

erin? >> our thanks to you. >>> to france where investigators presented their final report today on air france flight 447. that's the flight you recall that crashed into the atlantic and was on its way from brazil to france three years ago this month. all 228 people on board died and the report blames a series of pilot errors. richard quest told me what those were. >> reporter: erin, the report is more than 200 pages long. it goes into great detail about what happened and why. the heart of it is technical fault, the speed sensor and the way the pilot flying, the youngest and most inexperienced responded to it. it was those actions which ultimately doomed the plane. time and again what is clear is a lack of training, a lack of education, and a lack of cockpit culture. frankly, should have the more senior members of the crew flying the plane after the incident took place. this will be a incident where the aviation industry, the airlines, the pilots themselves, everybody has to rethink what th

>> well, they are huge, as you mentioned, erin. the big thing here is the iranians have developed several techniques for hardening concre concrete. the fact the concrete has been hardened through special techniques means that any type of conventional wisdom is going to have a really tough time getting after that hardened target as they call them. in this case the technical term is hardened and deeply buried targets. the iranians are masters not only at hardening the concrete and they actually study that at their universities but the other part of it is they have buried their bunkers where they're creating a lot of their nuclear weapons deeply underground, places like parchin, all of those. many of the installations we're interested in are underground. >> do you have a sense of what that upgrade might be? 30,000 pounds becomes what? >> well, the weight probably stays the same in most cases. but what happens is the targeting is improved and the type of ordinance that is att h attached to the bomb, explosive charge related to the bomb

. >> erin, thanks for a chance to be on. as a member of the budget committee, i have to agree that what we need to get to is the much bigger, much harder problem of solving all the different changes, whether it's sequestration or changes in tax rates that are scheduled to kick in in january. what i liked about the president's announcement today is he simply said, let's move forward on what we can all agree on, everybody, republicans and democrats, house and senate, agree that we should not allow these bush tax cuts to expire on the middle class, on the 98% of americans who make less than $250,000. and as he said in his extended comments, we'll let the question of what the tax rate should be for millionaires and billionaires be decided by the election. i do think it's important for us to start giving some tax certainty to small business owners and families. if we could start by solving one small piece of it, that would show some forward progress toward the much bigger fiscal cliff facing families, companies and our economy in
