THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

DON LEMON, CNN ANCHOR: All right. I'm Don Lemon. You're in the CNN NEWSROOM.

Let's get you all started with some of the stories. I'm going to get you up to speed quickly here. Four U.S. service members shot today in Afghanistan by someone wearing an Afghan police's uniform. It was the third time in three days that Afghan forces have turned their weapons on NATO troops and killed them.

We've learned more today about one of those deadly attacks on Friday. NATO sources say the attackers who stormed the joint U.S. and British base were wearing American military uniforms. It was a tactic that militants very rarely used. Two U.S. Marines were killed and several carrier jets were destroyed. All but one of the attackers were killed. That happened at the base where Britain's Prince Harry is deployed.

CNN has talked to one of these killers. One of our reporters met a man in Afghanistan who admits he shot American soldiers to death dressed as a policeman. His words will chill you to the bone.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ANNA COREN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): "They took off their body armor and put their weapons down. At that moment, I thought it was the right time, so I took my gun and shot them."

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LEMON: That voice you heard was CNN's Anna Coren. You'll see her report and more from that man who claims to be a killer. That's right here in just a few minutes.

Pakistani police used water cannons to push back protesters today at the U.S. consulate in Karachi. Hundreds of people had gathered in protest of anti-Islamic film. The film made in the United States. Demonstrators threw rocks at police as officers fired shots into the air. Some protestors were injured but the building was not damaged.

Iran is confirming it had special forces acting as advisers in war- torn Syria. The Fars news agency reports Iran has been giving advice to Bashar al-Assad's government for some time now, but has no personnel there now, I should say. Iran has repeatedly supported the Syrian regime throughout the conflict.

You can see them. You can hear them shook the neighborhood surrounding Damascus today. Opposition groups report 155 people were killed across the country.

Pope Benedict led an open air mass that drew thousands of people today in Beirut, Lebanon. The pope called for an immediate end to the raging civil war in Syria. He also urged Arab leaders to stop the violence in the Middle East, but made no reference to the film demeaning the Prophet Muhammad which triggered unrest across the Muslim world.

Finally, wait until you hear this NFL story. Brian Stropolo was supposed to be one of the replacement refs working the New Orleans game at Carolina today. But it turns out he posted himself tailgating at the same pre-season game. NFL found out just this morning. So, the replacement ref was replaced in the league, no doubt was embarrassed.

The Saints, by the way, lost to Carolina, 35-27.

After a week-long strike over job security and evaluations, Chicago teachers may have a new deal.

Let's go straight now to CNN's Kyung Lah who is at the teachers' union meeting where a crucial vote is under way.

So, Kyung, what is the information that you're getting about what they're actually voting on?

KYUNG LAH, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I want to go back to something you just said: "may". And "may" is the operative word, because what's happening inside this building behind me is that the union delegation, 800 members of them, they're actually getting point by point, line by line on this contract. They're being informed of these hundreds of pages of contracts that they're going to have to live with for the next three years.

And from what we've been told from the people inside is that this is a long contract, this is an involved process, and when we were speaking to some of the delegates before they were coming in, they said that they had a lot of questions. And definitely a much more serious tone here.

So what are they voting on? They are going to say either yes or no to whether or not the strike continues. That's what they have the authority to do. Another option that they also have is they could decide to push off that decision for the next 24 hours.

What we want to make clear, though, is that they started this day with a contract, an agreement from negotiators from the teachers union as well as the city, the school district. They said we have a deal. Now, the teachers, this particular group, has to decide whether or not they want to move forward and decide to call off this strike, Don.

But certainly we're talking about 5:00 p.m. on a Sunday night, potentially a school night if this strike is over. Parents simply just don't have any answers yet as to whether or not kids are going to be back in the classroom tomorrow, Don.

LEMON: So they have no idea. They're just waiting to either put them on the bus, drive them to school, take them to daycare or stay home. No one knows.

And the timing -- if there is an agreement, is it going to happen immediately, Kyung? Will schools start right away or will they give it a day or so? What happens?

LAH: It's really hard to tell. If they decide to wait 24 hours, then we don't -- you know, then we have to wait another day before they decide whether or not to lift the strike. Or potentially because, you know, teachers here say, we don't know about this process, either. We haven't done this in 25 years or so. These teachers say that perhaps there could be school tomorrow.

So, you know, this is an entire city -- 350,000 students and their parents who are simply watching and waiting.

LEMON: All right, Kyung, we'll check back with you next hour. Maybe there will be some movement. We certainly hope so. Thank you.

You know, one year ago tomorrow, the Occupy movement was born. It started with protestors on Wall Street, then spread across the globe. Too many today, though, it's all but dead.

But if you asked those who committed to the movement, they say not a chance.

Joining me now, Poppy Harlow, who is in New York City covering the one-year anniversary of this movement.

Poppy, it's hard to believe it's been one year you were standing right there. What happened to the buzz about this movement?

POPPY HARLOW, CNN CORRESPONDENT: You know, it's interesting, right, Don. It has been a year. We covered it since the beginning. We were here in the middle of the night during that eviction last November.

The buzz has died down, right? This movement is not as visible in terms of force, in terms of sheer numbers. The volume is not the same.

But when you talk to the people at the core of the Occupy movement, they say absolutely do not count us out.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

HARLOW: Some folks think this movement has fizzled, that you guys are done for.

JUSTIN WEDES, OCCUPY ACTIVIST: They've been writing that obituary since day one.

(CHANTING)

HARLOW (voice-over): It started with this one year ago.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It's our duty as Americans to fight for our country and to keep it, you know, true to serving its people.

HARLOW: A grassroots movement that made the 99 percent and the 1 percent part of our lexicon. Occupy.

In a Brooklyn workspace, Justin Wedes is keeping Occupy alive today.

WEDES: What's changed is that people now recognize that the game is rigged and as we organize and as we evolve and grow, we're going to continue to resist. That's the impulse behind Occupy Wall Street.

HARLOW: That impulse grew in Zuccotti Park. They took over stoops in Brooklyn.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I want the banks to stop foreclosures.

HARLOW: Spread from Oakland to Berlin to Hong Kong, saw thousands of arrests and got people talking.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: All great movements start with just a few people.

HARLOW (on camera): Police are trying to clear us off the street right now.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Tell me what police day looks like.

CROWD: This is what police day looks like.

HARLOW: Around 1:00 a.m. on November 15th, cops surrounded Zuccotti Park and evicted the protesters who had been camping out here for two months. They didn't go calmly, and they vowed to keep the movement alive.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is it. It's a continued stand.

HARLOW (voice-over): For a few months, they worked out of an office, ironically right off Wall Street.

(on camera): When you walk in, you get a name tag like this.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: This is some of our working spaces. You see lot of Occupiers working here.

HARLOW (voice-over): Hoping to reinvigorate the movement, May 1st, a day of action around the globe, but it wasn't sustained.

(on camera): Do you think it's relevant today?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I think the message got diluted.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I don't see any reason that it would have diminished in importance. UNIDENTIFIED MALE: It just seems to me to be a rag tag bunch of people.

HARLOW: Stronger, weaker?

MARK BRAY, OCCUPY ACTIVIST: Different. I think there are things that are stronger. I think there are connections to actual organizing issues are definitely stronger.

HARLOW (voice-over): Occupy says it has about $40,000 left in the bank and has formed groups focusing on specific issues like student debt and housing. There from the beginning, Mark Bray says give it time.

BRAY: If you look at all the social movements in history, whether it's civil rights movement, the feminist movement, it takes that before you get going.

HARLOW: Zuccotti Park is no longer occupied, but it is still surrounded by police barricades, a reminder of the past year.

BRAY: We don't need to sit in the park. We've got your attention. Now, we need to follow through.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

HARLOW: And, Don, one of the biggest points of criticism that this movement has faced since from the beginning is that it lacks a clear goal and a clear mission. And I can tell you, speaking to organizers, it still does. However, the overriding sentiment I got from them, of what they are looking for, at least from some, is economic justice. That's a broad goal, though.

They're going to try to embody that, play that out tomorrow morning down here in Lower Manhattan. They're going to gather in four different locations, including Zuccotti Park behind me where they camped out for two months, and then at 7:30 a.m. they're all going to convene on the New York Stock Exchange, right at the heart of rush here in New York City and try to form a human chain around the New York Stock Exchange.

They know it's going to be tough. There's already increased police presence here. And They say, though, this is an act of civil disobedience and they told me to expect arrest -- Don.

LEMON: Poppy Harlow, I'm going to embarrass you and say, welcome back to work. It was a fantastic wedding I attended in Europe and you deserve all the best. It was amazing. Thanks for inviting me.

HARLOW: Oh, thank you.

LEMON: Yes.

HARLOW: Thanks for coming.

LEMON: Poppy Harlow, she's a married lady now. All right. Thanks, Poppy.

All campaign talk about the economy replaced this week with talk about foreign policy. Is the president's position weak? Is Mitt Romney's weaker? The blame game is on.

And the CNN exclusive to tell you about -- an Afghan talks about the day he turned on the U.S. soldier who trained him to be a police officer, killing two of them.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LEMON: All right, that music means it's time to talk politics and a political shift happened this past week -- a fundamental change in the argument facing both President Obama and candidate Mitt Romney. Namely the focus was not so much on the U.S. economy but instead turned to the world stage.

CNN contributor Will Cain and CNN -- writer for ESPN as well as CNN political contributor is L.Z. Granderson. They're here with us tonight.

Just so you know, gentlemen, we call you in THE NEWSROOM now, Will Z (ph) -- you're like Brangelina, and I don't know any other couple.

WILL CAIN, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: Don't act like you haven't spent the entire commercial break trying to figure out how you spell that.

LEMON: Actually, I want the viewers to figure out. So, tweet me, how do you spell Will Z? We're going to make that trend on Twitter, we'll do a hashtag.

L.Z. GRANDERSON, CNN CONTRIBUTOR: I like that, #WillZ.

LEMON: #WillZ.

All right. Let's talk foreign policy. President Obama getting hammered this week for his handling of international affairs. Let's start with Israel.

Prime Minister Netanyahu says time is running out for something to be done about Iran's nuclear program. A red line, he said, has drawn before Iran goes any further. But the president says, hold on. Proof that Iran enriching uranium is not proof that it is going to be used in weapons.

So, the president isn't vowing to pressure from Israel.

Will, does it make him weak and indecisive on Israeli and Iranian relations or prudent and cautious?

CAIN: Indecisive and prudent, how about that? Can I take one from each of your examples? Prudent and indecisive, how about that?

LEMON: That sounds like for taking one from each, but go ahead. CAIN: Well, look, here's the deal. President Obama's foreign policy can be simultaneously praised and criticized. When it comes to things like al Qaeda, this process of targeted strikes, of drone attacks, of getting Osama bin Laden has proven to be a great success.

But dealing with these larger geopolitical issues, and Iran is a perfect example of this, this lack of a voice, this lack of a doctrine, this lack of willingness to be the country out in front on these issues is certainly a problem. And for Israel, it's proven o be a very big problem.

So, I would say, Iran doesn't know where we stand, the voter doesn't know where we stand and Israel doesn't know where we stand. That's not good.

LEMON: OK. So Prime Minister Netanyahu on "STATE OF THE UNION" with Candy Crowley this morning saying basically the argument that Iran is enriching uranium for peaceful purposes is naive and used an interesting analogy to prove his point. Listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BENJAMIN NETANHAYU, ISRAELI PRIME MINISTER: Talks about -- denies the Holocaust, promises to wipe out Israel, is engaged in terror throughout the world.

It's like Timothy McVeigh walking into a shop in Oklahoma City and saying, I'd like to tend my garden. I'd like it buy some fertilizer. How much do you want? Oh, I don't know, 20,000 pounds.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LEMON: All right. So, L.Z., your turn. Is the Obama administration ignoring the obvious with Iran? And is the delay in action just going to make things more dangerous?

GRANDERSON: Well, I think you first have to look at whether the sanctions in place are working. And definitely, to a certain degree, you can say yes. That's all part of his leadership.

I believe that the currency being brought in by Iran oil is down 30 percent now, and that's going to have a major impact on how citizens of that country will view his leadership. I don't think you can discount the diplomatic aspect of his policy.

Now, tagging on to what Will has said, I think there definitely has to be some sort of speech given by the president re-clarifying exactly what our strategy is. Not necessarily because he isn't clear or even because the voters aren't clear, but because the world needs to hear this again. I think that's very important as a global leader.

And I also caution against trying to say that he's being indecisive, because as you remember, we went for several days looking at, quote- unquote, "evidence" about weapons of mass destruction that led us to a war that we now agree we should not have been involved with. So I think it's very wise to make sure all the intelligence that's being gathered leads to the exact same conclusion where there's no cracks in the rationale.

LEMON: All right. I want to move on. I got a couple of things, so you guys, quickly with your responses.

Let's move on now to Libya and the Middle East. Clashes were widening in U.S. embassies, the latest this one today in Karachi, Pakistan, if we can look at that, all over this anti-Muslim film, we're told. Some people don't believe this, because of this film. But of course there have been more and more demonstrations after the attacks on the U.S. embassy in Libya, and killing of four Americans, including Ambassador Chris Stevens.

The Obama administration has been criticized by the Romney campaign and by Republicans for being, quote, "weak" in its response to the attack.

Will, what if anything should the Obama administration have done differently?

CAIN: I can tell you one thing. They should not have come out and said this is a response to that film. In full-throated criticism, the Obama administration deserves every bit of it for saying that -- Jay Carney went on TV last week and said, this is a response to some film. This film is a pretext at best for what's going on in Libya and Egypt and this protest-sparking cry.

The thing is, we have values that we stand for, Don. We do not equivocate on those values. The First Amendment is at the highest list of those values we stand for. And if it happens to offend someone and you respond to that offense is murder and rioting -- we're sorry, that's not something we can apologize for or we can understand in any way.

LEMON: OK. Quickly, L.Z., finally, Mitt Romney, did he jump the gun for attacking the administration for their response on the embassy attack?

GRANDERSON: You know, Mitt Romney is not a stupid guy but he does a lot of stupid things, and I think this was definitely one of them. If you want to be president, you don't take these moments of national tragedy and try to politicize them in a capacity that he did. It's not presidential and it makes him look weak.

In response to will, I don't believe the president actually apologized to the people who murder American citizens. I think what he was doing was putting everything in context. And that's the most important thing when dealing with foreign policy, historical as well as present day context and not just knee-jerk rationale because we're in the heart of the political season.

LEMON: Yes, I see Will Z wants to respond, but it's not going to happen because we're out of time.

CAIN: You just want to say Will Z.

LEMON: So, you just have to have the prune face there, Will. Thank you, guys. We'll see you next week. Have a great week.

CAIN: See you.

LEMON: Safe to say, most of us have done it, sent an e-mail by accident to the person the e-mail was about. Even the Catholic Church isn't immune to the tech-age faux pas. But now, they're being sued over it.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LEMON: Don't forget, you can stay connected, you can watch CNN live on your computer. You can do it from work. Just go to CNN.com/TV.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LEMON: Take a seat. Listen to this next story. A gay married couple suing the Roman Catholic Church in Massachusetts.

It all started when the diocese of Worcester decided to sell off a million dollar property. The couple placed a bid on the mansion and they say negotiations were underway. Then, out of the blue, the diocese, well, they walked off the offer. The couple say they had no idea why until they received this in an e-mail chain not meant for them.

"Because of the potentiality of gay marriages there, something you shared with us yesterday, we are not interested in going forward with these buyers. I think they're shaky, anyway. So just tell them we will not accept their revised plan and the diocese is making new plans for the property. You find the language."

Now that couple is suing. One half of the couple joins me now from Brookline, Massachusetts.

Alan Beret, thank your for joining us today. How are you doing?

ALAN BERET, SUING CATHOLIC CHURCH: Thank you. It's good to be here.

LEMON: OK. So, listen, the monsignor who wrote that e-mail says that it was actually sent our after negotiations were dropped. What's the basis for your lawsuit? You're suing for discrimination, right?

BERET: That's correct. The e-mail was sent out to us in response originally to an offer that had been revised. And, of course, attached to a long chain of e-mails was this e-mail revealing, really, the real reason why the monsignor wanted the deal to disappear.

And we quickly understood that. The e-mail speaks for itself. We didn't have to interject any thoughts into it. Just reading it was enough to know what was going on.

Up until that time, the negotiations had been actually very positive, and we expected that we were going to reach some kind of an agreement.

LEMON: So, Alan, what do you then say -- my question, the monsignor said this was sent after the negotiations were dropped. What do you make of his response? Is that true? Will you believe that? Is that true, were they dropped?

BERET: No, I don't. No, I don't. The negotiations were not dropped.

In fact, I know there had been some talk about financing being an issue. There had been no applications for financing that had been submitted.

So I take it that we had a smoking gun in front of us. It's an uncomfortable position for the monsignor, I understand that. When you're caught with your pants down, you have to say something, and I think that's what was going on.

LEMON: OK. So the church claims that they didn't know that you were gay and they said the negotiations fizzled simply because you couldn't secure financing for your first offer, and your second one was unacceptable.

I want to read out the statement from the diocese's attorney. It says, "There was no purchase and sale agreement with the buyers. Their financing fell through, therefore, there was never a purchasing agreement. The diocese never knew and never asked about the potential buyers sexual orientation."

What do you say to that? I mean, this says that -- but when you look at the e-mail says, the e-mail says there's this whole thing about gay marriage. So, what's going on here?

BERET: Well, I'm not sure what's going on. I do know that the issue of having gay marriages at the property was certainly something that the church was concerned about since that's what they articulated in their e-mail.

Whether or not they knew that Jim and I were gay is something that we have yet to discover. I believe that they did, simply because there was no discussion of gay marriages being held at the property. Since there were never any discussions about gay marriages being held at the property, why was that an issue? Why was that any more of an issue with Jim and I than it would have been with a hotel chain that might have been interested in the property as a venue?

So in that sense, when I read the e-mail, I quickly understood that the monsignor had been told that we were gay and assumed that we would be gay magnets.

LEMON: Yes. Well, just --

BERET: There's no other way for me --

LEMON: Just a periphery glance at their statement and the e-mail, it seems to me as a layman that they're talking around the issue and trying to find ways around the issue and make you look as if you're a bad buyer rather than dealing with seemingly discrimination that's dealt with in the e-mail. That's how it looks to me as a layman.

So, let me know what happens and come back. Thank you, Alan Beret. OK?

BERET: Yes. We appreciate it.

LEMON: Green-on-blue violence in Afghanistan. Trained by U.S. soldiers, Afghans attacking them instead of protecting them. Ahead, a CNN exclusive. One Afghan talks about how he turned on the U.S. soldiers who taught him to a police officer killing two of them.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LEMON: Half past the hour. Let's get a look at your headlines.

Right now, the Chicago teachers union, voting on a possible deal to end a week-long strike. Hundreds of supporters rallied yesterday for the teachers.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Public education under attack? What do we do?

(SHOUTING)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Public education --

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LEMON: Negotiators couldn't point to any deal how to update Chicago teachers' evaluation system for the first time in 40 years. Some 350,000 students have been out of the classroom. Chicago has the third-largest public school system in the country.

It started with a French tabloid, then an Irish one. Now an Italian gossip magazine says it will run 26 photos of Kate Middleton topless. But they'll have to get past Britain's royal family first. Their lawyers are headed to Paris to file a criminal complaint tomorrow against the paparazzi and to try to stop further publications. Under French law, a breach of privacy is a criminal offense.

It's Black Sunday for hockey fans. For the fourth time since 1982, the National Hockey League has shut down. This, after the latest collective bargaining agreement expired yesterday and players were locked out. The core sticking point is how players and owners will divide $3.3 billion in revenue. The league wants the player's cut to drop from 57 percent of those revenues to less than half.

After much speculation, there are two new faces on the "American Idol's" judges panel, rapper, Nicki Minaj, and country singer, Keith Urban, who will join Mariah Carey who was hired in July. That' is going to be crazy. Whoo. And "Idol" original, Randy Jackson, will be there as well. The shows 12th season starts in January. That will be nuts to watch. A lot of personalities there.

Four American servicemember shot to death today in Afghanistan by someone wearing an Afghan policeman's uniform. It is the third time in three days that Afghan forces have turned their weapons on NATO troops and killed them.

We learned more today about one of those deadly attacks on Friday. NATO sources say the attackers who stormed the joint U.S. and British base were wearing American military uniforms. That is a tactic that militants very rarely use. Two U.S. Marines were killed and several carrier jets were destroyed. All but one of the attackers were killed. That happened at the base where Britain's Prince Harry is deployed.

And also this from Afghanistan today. According to a NATO statement, a number of Afghan civilians were killed or wounded in a coalition air strike. Afghan officials reported that eight women died in the pre- dawn bombing. NATO commanders investigated and now admit that that is correct and that the coalition accepts full responsibility for their deaths.

The military has a term, "green on blue." They use that when a supposed ally, a friend of NATO forces, for some unknown reason, kills the troops training them. You're about to see and hear the voice of a man who says he killed Americans. He says he went on patrol with U.S. troops, took his gun and shot them.

CNN's Anna Coren met him and asked him simply why he did it.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ANNA COREN, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): In a small house in a Taliban-controlled village is a man who claims to be responsible for a green-on-blue attack. With his face covered to hide his identity, he pulls down his police uniform, something he hasn't worn since the attack on the 2nd of October, 2009.

On patrol with U.S. forces in central Afghanistan, this father of two says he waited for an opportunity to launch his premeditated attack.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

COREN: "The Americans went inside the nearby school for a break," he explained. "They took off their body armor and put their weapons down. At that moment, I thought it was the right time, so I took my gun and shot them."

Two soldiers were killed, 25-year-old Sergeant Aaron Smith and 21- year-old Private First Class Brian Owen. Three other soldiers were injured, including Captain Tyler Kurth.

When asked why he turned his gun on the U.S. soldiers training him, he said --

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

COREN: -- because Americans were oppressing people in my country. They were burning copies of he holy Koran and disrespecting it.

Having escaped from the scene, he claims he was later captured by the Taliban, who thought he was a policeman.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

COREN: "When I told them I killed Americans, they took me to a safe place, gave me new clothes. Then they drove me to Pakistan where the Taliban welcomed me very warmly, like a hero."

He says he later moved to Iran for three years, returning to Afghanistan only recently after being told it was safe.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

COREN: They said, "Americans were not everywhere like they used to be. The Taliban had brought security and I should return home. I'm happy to be back in my country."

(on camera): Green-on-blue, or insider attacks, as they're known in the military, have sharply increased this year, here in Afghanistan. It is an alarming trend that has forces extremely worried. And every single time there is an attack, the Taliban immediately claims responsibility.

COL TOM COLLINS, U.S. ARMY: The Taliban lie and we know they lie. We think they overstate their influence on these tragic incidents. We think somewhere around 25 percent of them are insurgent-related to some degree.

COREN (voice-over): The majority of attacks, according to the coalition, are related to personal grievances, cultural differences, and the psychological fatigue of an 11-year war that's about to enter its 12th year.

And while trust has been undermined, forcing new measures to be put in place to protect international troops, the Afghanis are determined to ensure these insider attacks don't derail this vital partnership.

SEDIQ SEDIQI, AFGHAN INTERIOR MINISTRY: We'll continue to work together. We have been working for the last 11 years. We have built very good relationship together. And this will continue despite any, any report by the Taliban to make us separate. That will not happen.

COREN: But for this 30-year-old Afghani, he believes these attacks won't stop.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: (SPEAKING FOREIGN LANGUAGE)

COREN: "I know they will increase. I know more people will do what I did."

Anna Coren, CNN, Kabul.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LEMON: You're going to want to see this. In about an hour, we'll talk to the parents of an American Marine, a Marine who was killed in one of those horrific green-on-blue attacks. Here's the part that will stick with you. He told his father that he saw it coming.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

UNIDENTIFIED FATHER OF CORP. LANCE BUCKLEY: He goes, you have to be able to tell mom and Jess and Shane that I'm going to be killed over here. I said, "Out in the field or whatever"? He goes, "No, in our base."

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LEMON: Lance Corporal Greg Buckley was shot dead by an Afghan he was training. His parents told CNN of his awful premonitions, coming up a little bit later on.

Proper procedure or over the line? You decide after watching and listening to an exchange between an officer and a woman.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LEMON: A full bladder and a heavy foot led to a woman being handcuffed in Texas. The dash cam video from the police department is from Thursday. Gene Geheb is seen pulling over a car that was going 16 miles over the speed limit. Just 16? And then the regular run-of- the-mill license and registration traffic stop turned into this.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

LYNN BEDFORD, PULLED OVER BY POLICE: All right, let's hurry up. I've got to go to the bathroom.

GENE GEHEB, POLICE OFFICER, KEENE, TEXAS: Let's see your driver's license and insurance, please.

BEDFORD: I have a bladder inflection and --

GEHEB: Need to see driver's license and insurance, please.

BEDFORD: Will you listen to me?

GEHEB: No, I want to see your driver's license and insurance, please, and then I'll listen to you.

BEDFORD: Why? Why are you going to wait --

(CROSSTALK)

GEHEB: I'm going to write -- give me -- let me see your driver's license.

BEDFORD: I'll give it to you in a minute.

(CROSSTALK)

GEHEB: No. You're going to give it to me now or I'll take you to the jail.

BEDFORD: Well, go ahead.

GEHEB: Get out of the vehicle. Get out of the vehicle.

BEDFORD: You're hurting me.

GEHEB: Get out of the vehicle.

BEDFORD: I'm going to report you're hurting me.

(CROSSTALK)

GEHEB: OK. Step out of the vehicle.

(CROSSTALK)

BEDFORD: -- of my arm. Oh.

GEHEB: You're under arrest.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LEMON: My gosh. The chief of police issued this statement, "The incident has been reviewed thoroughly by the Keene Police Department and the city of Keene administration. All parties have concluded that Sergeant Geheb did not" -- Really? Come on. -- "Sergeant Geheb did not violate any state laws or department policies and, in fact, was following department policy in regards to violators not providing information."

Can we roll that video again, please?

Rob, roll that video again please.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BEDFORD: All right, let's hurry up. I've got to go to the bathroom.

GENE GEHEB, POLICE OFFICER, KEENE, TEXAS: Let's see your driver's license and insurance, please.

BEDFORD: I have a bladder inflection and --

GEHEB: Need to see driver's license and insurance, please.

BEDFORD: Will you listen to me?

GEHEB: No, I want to see your driver's license and insurance, please, and then I'll listen to you.

BEDFORD: Why? Why are you going to wait --

(CROSSTALK)

GEHEB: I'm going to write -- give me -- let me see your driver's license.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LEMON: OK, so they say that -- you saw the video. You be the judge. The woman in that video was later released without ever leaving the scene. But she didn't get off scot free. She was issued citations for speeding and failing to show I.D. That's ridiculous.

Public breastfeeding battles have been waged for years now, but one feeding that just happened has raised quite a few eyebrows.

DAVID EAGLEMAN, NEUROSCIENTIST: I'm really interested in neuroscience. It's where we can take all the things we know about humans and how they're different and translate that into social policy, how are we running the system here.

I'm David Eagleman, and I'm a neuroscientist.

At some point there will be a crime committed like the Virginia Teach shooting or the Columbine shooting or the Aurora movie theatre shooting and we find that the perpetrator had a brain tumor. I'm not suggesting that any of those events were explained by brain tumors but, at some point, that will happen. And then society is going to have to deal with this very difficult question about this relationship between brain and behavior and this question of culpability.

LEMON: Breastfeeding 101 -- it's not a class offered at any of the universities. However, when one professor started breastfeeding her child in class, it did more than go against the syllabus.

CNN's Lisa Sylvester reports.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

LISA SYLVESTER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Assistant Professor Adrienne Pine is starting her fourth year at American University. The single mom normally leaves her daughter, Leigh (ph), at a Washington daycare while at work. But on the first day of fall classes, her 11- month-old daughter woke up with a slight fever.

ADRIENNE PINE, ASSISTANT PROFESSOR, AMERICAN UNIVERSITY: I didn't have any emergency daycare and couldn't bring her to the regular daycare, and so I was faced with this really difficult choice of being there for my students, which to me, as a professional, is the most important thing for me to do, or, you know, taking care of my daughter. And the only way that I could do both of those things was to bring my daughter to class.

SYLVESTER: During her class of 40 students, her daughter began getting fussy. She was hungry. So Pine, who says she has nursed her daughter at other public places, including parks and airplanes, even several locations on campus, breast-fed her daughter during class. PINE: I very discreetly fed her. I don't believe that any part of my breast, really, was showing. I don't think my nipple was showing. And in any case, the most important thing for me was feeding her and, within a couple minutes, she fell asleep.

SYLVESTER: One student, Jake Carias, was shocked. Later tweeting, quote, "Sex, gender and culture professor, total feminist, walks in with her baby. Midway through class breastfeeding time. WTF"

Carias spoke exclusively to CNN.

JAKE CARIAS, STUDENT: She could have taken a sick day, left, stayed with the child. The T.A. would have came into class, read the syllabus, gave us an explanation as to why she wasn't there. And our class would have left early and nobody would have complained. There would have been no problems at all.

SYLVESTER: Pine lashed out a university student reporter in a scathing blog. She was writing an article about what happened. But Pine insists her intention was never to be what she calls a breast- feeding activist.

Student reaction on American University's campus was mixed.

JANE MORICE, STUDENT: I didn't think she was trying to be like, oh, look what I can do. I think she was just trying to feed her child.

JAMES ADAMS, STUDENT: For the first day, I thought I think it's probably a little bit inappropriate.

JULIA RICCH, STUDENT: I understand it's like a natural thing and part of human nature but, at the same time, we're not used to that, especially college students who have probably never had a child.

SYLVESTER: Pine says there is much larger issue here, that there are tough choices, especially for working mothers, many who grapple with how to balance work demands with a sick child.

PINE: If I bottle-fed my child, I would not have been attacked for that. If a male professor had brought his daughter to class, the response would be, how sweet, how cute, how fatherly of him, whereas, as a mother doing that, I get attacked.

SYLVESTER (on camera): I asked Adrienne Pine if the situation were the same, she would do it again. She says probably not, that she didn't expect this kind of backlash. She says she has learned that people are still squeamish about public breastfeeding, and she hopes this begins a new conversation about the need for adequate childcare options for working parents.

LEMON: Thanks, Lisa. When you grab the cheese burger and fries at McDonald's, do you really want to know just how unhealthy it might be for you? Starting tomorrow, you will know, whether you want to or not.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LEMON: A new edition to McDonald's menu, a calorie count. Next time you are asked if you want fries with that, you'll know how many extra calories will go along with it. And other fast-food giants may have to follow suit as early as next year. The changes are a part of President Obama's health care overhaul.

Now to the other big stories in the week ahead, President Obama begins campaigning in the Buckeye State. The financial spotlight still shines on Apple. And what TV host is talking about her renewed friendship with Oprah? Our correspondents tell you what you need to know. We begin tonight with the president's plans for the week.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DAN LOTHIAN, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: I'm Dan Lothian at the White House. As foreign policy continues to dominate the headlines and occupy a big part of the president's agenda, Mr. Obama heads back out on the campaign trail, visiting Ohio on Monday, a key battleground state, making stops in the city of Cincinnati and Columbus. On Tuesday, he heads to New York City for a fundraiser hosted by Jay-Z and Beyonce.

POPPY HARLOW, CNNMONEY.COM CORRESPONDENT: I'm Poppy Harlow in New York. Looking ahead to the week on Wall Street, we'll get corporate earnings from FedEx, General Mills and Manchester United, for you soccer fans out there. Also ahead, the August existing home sales report will be released. Existing home sales make up the bulk of the housing market in the U.S., a really important reading on the health of the overall housing market. Apple will remain in the spotlight with the iPhone 5 going on sale in nine countries on Friday. And the Occupy movement will mark its first anniversary Monday with demonstrations outside the New York Stock Exchange. We'll be there covering it live.

A.J. HAMMER, CNN ENTERTAINMENT CORRESPONDENT: I'm "Showbiz Tonight's" A.J. Hammer. Here's what we are watching this week. I sit down with two big showbiz newsmakers. First, the great director, J.J. Abrams. I'll talk to him about his incredible new show, "Revolution." And TV host, Iyanla Van Zandt, opens up to me about her renewed friendship with Oprah after their infamous feud. J.J. Abrams and Iyanla, this week on "Showbiz Tonight" on HLN.

LEMON: Notre Dame decides to switch conferences, but what's in it for the Irish? Let's talk a little sports.

We invited him back. We like him. (LAUGHTER)

I guess we like him.

Terence Moore, he's a contributor to CNN.com and also a columnist for MLB.com, right?

OK. I like to say Notre Dame.

TERENCE MOORE, SPORTS CONTRIBUTOR, CNN.COM & COLUMNIST, MLB.COM: It's Notre Dame.

LEMON: Oh!

MOORE: Let's get it right.

LEMON: How do you know so much? How do you know so much about Notre Dame?

MOORE: I'm from South Bend. I'm a little biased with Notre Dame. It still matters, contrary to what people think. And I'll tell you something. You look over the last 90 years, over the New York Yankees are as possible as "Noter Dame" football. That's why it's such a big deal.

LEMON: Why are they doing it?

MOORE: You look at the changing landscape of college football, playoffs for the big boys, conference realignment. Notre Dame is the last major independent out there. And during the times they don't make playoffs and by staying independent. You keep all of that loot.

LEMON: What about the ACC and football? Will they join the ACC in football too?

MOORE: If Knute Rockne, the Gipper and the four horsemen come back from the dead, then they'll join the conference. They will never join the conference.

(LAUGHTER)

They shouldn't join the conference.

(LAUGHTER)

LEMON: All right. All right.

Baseball, playoffs getting closer. The big-money Yankees in a huge battle with the much younger Baltimore Orioles. Will the Yankees be able to pull this one out?

MOORE: They better pull it out. This is the last hooray with this particular dynasty. The average age of the core of this team, and it's deceased. Mark Teixeira, injured most of the year. Derek Jeter, 38 years old. This is their last chance to get it right and they could get it right. LEMON: Yankees, in the playoffs, that's supposed to happen if it doesn't happen, you say what's wrong with the world? Is it a downward spiral?

MOORE: This will be like 1964, Marist and Mantle. They didn't get it done. And they didn't come back to the World Series for another 12 areas.

LEMON: OK. Let's see. NFL now, and the latest on the Saints soap opera with players with suspensions lifted after Roger Goodell this week did it. What can we expect?

MOORE: We're going to see Roger Goodell fighting for his dictator life this week. Because when that --

(LAUGHTER)

LEMON: Roger Goodell.

(CROSSTALK)

MOORE: He is. But that's a good thing. When that three-panel group ruled against him for Bounty-gate that took away a lot of his power. He wants to get his power back, even by perception.

LEMON: He has unchecked power, right?

MOORE: Yes. Remember, like last week, he came back with this thing, they didn't really take my power. Here is the thing, Don. He needs that power, because all these commissioners need to be dictators. Democracies work great for countries, but you need them for professional sports.

LEMON: You need a dictator.

MOORE: Right.

LEMON: Roger Goodell.

MOORE: That's exactly right.

LEMON: Oh, my goodness. What do you think of the Saints' ref, officials?

(LAUGHTER)

(CROSSTALK)

(LAUGHTER)

MOORE: I think that's exactly what they deserve. They are not bringing back the regular referees.

LEMON: They still lost. They need that guy.

MOORE: He could play defense. Then he could help them out a little bit.

LEMON: OK.

Thank you, sir.

(LAUGHTER)
