ay about that. my symptoms were a pain in my abdomen and periods that were heavier and longer than usual for me. if you have symptoms that last two weeks or longer, be brave, go to the doctor. ovarian and uterine cancers are gynecologic cancers. symptoms are not the same for everyone. i got sick... and then i got better. welcome. you're watching around the world. i'm suzanne malveaux. >> i'm michael holmes. we're seeing first real signs that syria does want to appear genuine in its claim it intends to give up those chemical weapons. what's happened, we've heard the assad regime has formally requested technical assistance from that international body that oversees the chemical weapons convention. >> so this new development comes

on what could be a critical day in the diplomatic effort to rid syria of its chemical arsenal. john kerry and sergey lavrov are holding a second day of talks in switzerland. they might still be far apart how to actually execute that plan for syria. the aim right now is to nail down a blueprint on how to put the deadly chemical stockpiles under international control. >> kerry today described the talks and language is always important at these meetings, as constructive. >> i think we would both agree that we had a constructive conversation regarding that, but those conversations are continuing and both of us want to get back to them now. i will say on behalf of the united states that president obama is deeply committed to a negotiated solution with respect to syria. >> there is, of course, a big quite on whether or not the u.s.

and allies should continue to threaten or even use force against syria. >> want to bring in matthew chance in geneva. tell us first of all, the president has said the threat of military strikes is still on the table. that is something, of course, that syria and russia reject. can these twos, kerry and lavrov bridge that gap at all? >> well, they're going to have to, suzanne, if they want this process to go through the united nations security council because russia has a vote toe on that council. it's made it quite clear, it won't allow any resolution about syria's chemical weapons to go through the security council if the failure for them to do so triggers any kind of automatic military response by the united states and its allies. so if this reinforce is going to go through the u.n. security council, both the americans and the russians say that's what they want, then that that issue will have to be essentially kind of worked out by both parties. >> and matthew, too, they are

already planning to meet again, of course, but this process could literally take years and a lot of people think that just gives bashar al assad time to prosecute his war without the fear of being stopped. how important is the time line for the talks and these two sides could have very different versions of what it should be. >> well, i think the timeline is very important. we talked about that one roadblock, the issue of the threat of u.s. force. the other issues that are dividing the russians and americans at this point are the issues of timing. it's a complex you know situation trying to get all these weapons sort of properly cataloged, properly inspected by the various international inspectors and then to be sort of demissed and put out of use. that's going to take a long time. it's not an overnight process. you're right, it could take years. >> matthew chance, thank you very much. we appreciate it. of course, reporting from geneva. the head of syria's main rebel

group is now telling us the assad regime is moving the chemical weapons out of the country. cnn is not able to confirm the allegations, but it is all happening of course, as the civil war continues to rage on. >> and that is an ancient christian village there now at the center of fierce fighting between government forces and rebels linked to al qaeda. both sides are claiming victory. >> arwa damon is monitoring the syrianen crisis from neighboring lebanon. first of all, you don't hear a lot about what is taking place on the ground anymore. we hear about the chemical weapons. tell us about the civil war that continues. >> reporter: you know, you have these pockets of very intense fighting. you were just showing video there from ma lula, both the government and the rebels want try to regain control of it because it does lie along not

necessarily a major route but a route that both sides want to control leading to the capital damascus. this is a war that has been relentless from the very beginning. you have big pockets where civilians have been living under siege. simply put, they do not have enough food, enough medicine. so the big cry we're hearing from inside syria right now is that part of this whole negotiation, given that this is possibly an opportunity has to be the opening of humanitarian corridors. if the u.s. wants to take the moorl high ground with the syrians and russians at the table, this could be something to test the syrian government's intent. open these much needed humanitarian corridors, at the very least fref so slightly try to ease the suffering of the population. >> right. and arwa, certainly plenty of muslims have been killed and injured in this war, but talk about this village and the christian population in syria.

similar to what we saw in iraq, the christian minority was always a bit protected if you like by the dictator. they must be feeling pretty vulnerable right now. >> reporter: they are. and they're very concerned about the growing extremism, the growing fundamentalism amongst some elements of the free syrian army and amongst some elements of the opposition itself. you keep hearing from a lot of christians who support the regime saying look, we don't want to become iraq and driven out of our own land. that being said though, what's also -- quite interesting is that in some places in the country, and i saw this myself where sunni villagers because they oppose the government were not able to get things like bread. it was in fact the christians that made bread runs for them. they're most certainly a minority in syria right now that is very nervous, anxious about what the future is going to hold for them. >> arwa, thanks so much.

arwa damon covering things for us from our beirut bureau in lebanon. >> we'll get reaction from syrians living in america. they're going to join us later in the hour. other news, there's a huge fire fight that broke out today in afghanistan right outside the american consulate. >> that's the u.s. consulate in the city of herat which is in far western afghanistan. the fight's over now but a state department official says a wave of attackers assaulted the front gate of the consulate. started firing at the afghan troops there. all of the attackers reportedly dead. no american staffers hurt but two local policemen and a security guard were killed. the talibandon send an e-mail to cnn saying they were behind that attack. and new jersey, this is devastation. i mean, it is hard to even see this again. this is the iconic boardwalk

just less than a year after superstorm sandy. fire now destroyed parts of the seaside heights. this morning chris christie said his state, new jersey, it's going to rebound but it is tough going in this latest disaster. >> i will not permit all the work that we've done over the last ten months to be diminished or destroyed by what happened last night. we're going to get back on our feet and do what we need to do. >> this fire started out pretty spaul but then as you see there, it raged out of control. one problem was the wind. big wind and that drove the flames, the fire consuming four blocks. this, of course, the same boardwalk slammed by sandy last october. >> and businesses, they had just rebuilt. reopened their doors earlier in the year. >> it's horrifying what's going on here. the whole town, the people that grew up here, the people that work here are suffering a lot of damage.

>> after everything that we just went through for rebuilding everything, especially the shore and to know that it's all burning down now. i'm sorry. >> that is so hard. i mean, they're tough folks, but to have that happen again. >> yeah, yeah. >> second hit. >> i was up there covering sandy and saw the destruction done to the boardwalk. it was so good to see it getting rebuilt. now this. by the way, there were like 400 firefighters from 30 new jersey towns that battled that fire. they got it under control, took about five hours. >> and in colorado, this is where it is being uponed by historic amounts of rainfall. the situation is especially desperate in the town of lyons here. the national guard is now evacuating all 2,000 residents there in other parts of colorado, flash flooding has washed out the roads. it's pushed dams to their limits. at least three people have been killed so far. >> unbelievable. president obama has signed an emergency declaration now. we'll have more on then in about ten minutes.

so stick around for that. >> also coming up, prince william and duchess catherine making their first public appearance together since taking too imto focus on the new baby boy there. prince opening up about fatherhood to cnn. >> on a serious note, new threats from the al qaeda of leader al zawahiri in an audio speech, he calls for attacks inside the u.s. and not for the first time. >> our coverage of the crisis in syria continues. coming up, dr. sanjay gupta is back from a refugee camp near it the syrian border. he'll be joining us live. you're watching "around the world" thank you orville and wilbur... ...amelia... neil and buzz: for teaching us that you can't create the future... by clinging to the past. and with that: you're history. instead of looking behind... delta is looking beyond. 80 thousand of us investing billions... in everything from the best experiences below... to the finest comforts above.

we're not simply saluting history... we're making it. a man who doesn't stand still. but jim has afib, atrial fibrillation -- an irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. that puts jim at a greater risk of stroke. for years, jim's medicine tied him to a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but now, with once-a-day xarelto®, jim's on the move. jim's doctor recommended xarelto®. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce afib-related stroke risk. but xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem. that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. so jim's not tied to that monitoring routine.

conditions there to see that and to talk to fellow doctors. >> what types of injuries, gunshot wounds, amputations, spinal cord injuries? >> yes, yes. >> you see all of those here. >> we are walking distance to syria. look over there just to those mountain passes. dr. noor is syrian as are all the medical staff here. they left their country to take care of wounded rebels. to keep them safe, the hospital is secret. no signs outside. they only allowed us to take pictures on the patient floors. and we agreed to limit what we would show that would identify people. >> you don't want us to show your face. >> dr. sanjay gupta, it's excellent reporting getting back there from the refugee camps. we noticed that was actually a mosque, right? that they were performing surgeries inside. everything is kind of a makeshift situation there. they do with what they can. >> absolutely. and they were allowed essentially to do that because

it's in a particular area of lebanon that is quite sympathetic to what is known as the free syrian army, the fsa. that's why that could happen. they still use a certain floor of that as a mosque but the upstairs floors were all patient floors. that particular floor were all rebel fighters. they acknowledged them as such and they were being treated there. >> you know, the articles urge people to check out cnn.com some of the stuff you've written the printed word which is so moving. i think one of the headlines was nothing makes sense in the camps. it seems extraordinary in place like lebanon these people are going through stuff tribulations once they've escaped a war. explain. >> nothing makes sense in the very, very obvious way and then in a more nuanced way. nothing makes sense as a dad. you get an idea what a 6-year-old kid should look like but they look 3 years old or a newborn or 8-month-old who looks like a newborn. that part didn't make sense

because some of the most basic resources still aren't being given to these kids. as complicated as many things are in the world, the other thing that didn't make sense was we couldn't get food to these camps. there are a lot of complicated problems as you guys know but feeding the children shouldn't be one of them. i think there's a lot of good intentioned people both inside of lebanon and other aid organizations but because the situation is so complicated there, it makes it very hard to achieve basic things. >> you wrote in a very personal way as a father yourself. this struck me here, you said i often think of my own children and how disappointed they would be that their daddy couldn't do more to help kids like them. why disappointed? >> you know, i mean, i think kids, kids get it i think a little bit more inherently than adults do. and i think that they see a kid staving and they -- it doesn't make sense. the sayings go, there but for the grace of god, that would

have been their lot in life, as well. so they want to do everything. i think human beings i think our default position is to want to the help people and kids who haven't been burdened by all the other things in their lives, that's all they want to do. they say daddy, you're there, help these kids. a lot of people do as much as they can, but it is a very large and difficult situation. so people feel more compelled by watching this reporting. they feel more compassionate. if they feel more connected by watching this reporting, great. neighbor help will arrive. >> to personalize it to strip away the numbers and show some faces. >> these people are a lot more like all of us at this table than people realize. we tend to type cast these refugees. if i say they drove their kids to school, they wanted the best for their families. they play cards at night, met their spouses at a shopping hall, all of a sudden, you

realize there's more that ties us together than tears us part. >> well, put. >> i notice you're tearing. we all tear during your reports and even reading your article was very, very moving. >> thank you for having me. >> thanks. russian water sweeps away stranded cars, threatening homes as well, forces evacuations in parts of colorado. this heavy rain and flooding is being called biblical. it is that is big. it isn't over. the latest up next.

just a really short period of time. the national weather service called it biblical. at least three people now have died. >> we're talking walls of water that washed away roads, took away cars, brought down homes and marooned entire communities. thousands of people evacuated now as suzanne was saying earlier, that includes the town of lyons some 30 miles north of boulder. >> the president has signed an emergency declaration. we want to go to chad in the cnn weather center monitoring all of this here. this is extraordinary the pictures and how quickly this all happened. >> you know, i lived out there. i'm a big 12 guy. i lived in neb in, we went to boulder, we went to cu to go to games, we went skiing, all these places and to see this water rushing down these canyons is tremendous. it reminds me of 1976 when big thompson canyonen flooded. you go from a foot and a half of

almost rain. 14.6, boulder at 11 inches, aurora had 11 to 12 inches yesterday. it's in the mountains, in the front range, all this water has to run downhill. when it runs downhill, it goes into valleys and canyons. that water goes straight up. the levels go straight up. very, very quickly. the water runs up the hill. think of it almost like a gold front that doesn't move. it rains in the same places for hours and hours and hours. that's what we had yesterday. and still not done raining yet. this could rain for another 72 hours. a slight break today and tomorrow. but there will be more rainfall with this. >> three days? >> 72 hours? >> amazing >> chad, thanks so much. >> now, imagine this, michael. if you could buy a plane ticket, one way plane ticket $250 round trip by bus. >> $2.50. >> $2.50. >> what about five bucks for a round trip? ? >> well, guess what, united airlines just offered that. they didn't mean it. >> we're going to explain next.

it was that deal that sounded too good to be true, but a lot of airline passengers apparently jumped on to it quickly. >> i think i would have. talking about really cheap fares posted on united airlines just for a short while. there were ticks going for $5. $10. till united shut down the bookings on its website. >> oops. >> what the heck's going on. >> alison kosik following the story from the new york stock exchange. yeah, let's face it, they're an airline. they didn't mean it. >> well, we'll see about that. you can certainly say this is a big oops for united with united saying this was human error. we're not getting details what they mean by that or who made the error. unite's is not saying much about it only confirming it happened and saying it was fixed.

so just a tip for you, don't bother going on trying to get a deal. the mistakesby take appears to have lasted only about two hours. yes, the ticket price was free. people only paid the airport and security fees. so all told about $5 to $10 for those tickets. those lucky devils. >> they're going to -- that's the question, are they going to honor it or be an airline and say we messed up. so you're not having it. >> that's really the million dollar question or maybe the $300 question depending how much the airfare is. no word yet from united whether it will or will not honor these fares. there are some issues to consider when you think about this. area hearing some people went out and bought multiple tickets. we talked to rick, the ceo of fare compare. some people bought more than a dozen tickets going from d.c. to honolulu. if someone clearly exploited the error, should they get all of these for free or just one or because this is united's mistake shouldn't they honor these.

>> smart guy, that guy. >> jetblue also had problems, as well. is that true? >> it's been one headache of a day for 0 the airlines. jetblue had a software problem affecting the system it uses to dispatch flights. about 40 flights this morning were delayed. the problems lasted several hours. they were fixed by around 10:30 this morning eastern time. it's a domino effect. so far jetblue expects is even more delays to happen as the day goes on. mostly on the east coast. jetblue says check those flight times online before you head out to the airport. >> alison, always a pleasure. gee, wouldn't you have loved to get a couple of those tickets. honolulu. alison, thanks. >> in russia, a more serious note. as many as 37 people died in i an fire at a psychiatric hospital between moscow and st. petersburg. this started before dawn and firefighters were slowed by the fog as they traveled some 28 miles just to reach the hospital. >> and this, just this past

april, a fire at a psychiatric hospital near moscow left 38 people dead. this one they're speculating might have been started by a patient smoking. >> that's a shame. "time" magazine has obtained exclusive images taken by a photojournalist. they say it shows islamic militants publicly executing a young syrian by decapitation. >> "time" says it is an example of how the conflict in syria has plumbed new depths in brutality. it is important for the world to know about this. it is "time's" international editor who tells us about them. >> for the past two years, the internet is full of cell phone videos of fighters on both sides, whether the assad side or the rebel side doing the most horrific things to each other and posting those atrocities as propaganda, either executing captives, eating their flesh, the value of these pictures we

felt was that this was photo journalism. this is done by somebody we can't name him for his own security but somebody not syrian who is a legitimate photojournalist. what we're seeing here is rebels. now, there are rebels and there are rebels. we believe these are islamists and believe we have reporting from the location, it's a small village near aleppo from someone at the execution who said these are al qaeda rebels. they are that day on the 31st of august, they conducted four executions. beheadings of people. we're less clear about the nature, the motivation for these beheadings. we're not 100% certain about who it is that is being beheaded. but it is clear that some -- that the war has brought every war is vicious. but this one is plumbing new depths in bru tralt and these pictures capture that. >> obviously, very distressing stuff there. one of three beheadings carried

out that day according to the photojournalist. >> it's pretty rare you have a group of fighters from either side giving a professional like that the kind of access as this unfolds. this is something that's important to see. >> there is those elements out there. that's true. all right. we'll move on now. the attack on 9/11 of course, was remembered and as it was al qaeda made new threats against the u.s. >> the group's leader wants terrorists to commit violent acts inside the united states. we'll have that right after the break. you're watching "around the world" thank you orville and wilbur... ...amelia... neil and buzz: for teaching us that you can't create the future... by clinging to the past. and with that: you're history.

over al qaeda, of course, after osama bin laden was killed. now he posted a new message on the internet that cheers on his followers and tells them to keep attacking all things american. >> nic robertson is live in beirut right now. and give us a sense of specifically, what was he threatening? what was he talking about? >>. >> reporter: well, what he was saying was that an al qaeda supporters should land a large strike against the united states or on the united states and should be patient if it takes many years in planning, he said they should be patient and allow that to happen. it's almost for those of you who watch al qaeda closely, it's sort of no surprise they will try to put out a message roundabout september 11th. this was an audio message, no the a video message. ayman al zawahiri believed to be hiding out somewhere in pakistan, afghan border region. no one knows for sure.

the fact he got this message out so close to september 11th an indicationings their communication channels are working well for them. but what he really wants to do and what is exalting the al qaeda members to do is this large scale attack. he says the boston bombing is a good xax of that. what he wants to do is bleed is the united states economically is what he's saying. if you continue with the attacks and the threats of attacks, the united states will have to spend more money on security and in these tough economic times he says, that will hurt the united states. so that's the thrust of his message. >> all right. nic robertson, thank you so much, reporting from beirut. come up, you're going to hear from two syrian americans, one is a college student who has friends and families living there. >> the other is a musician expressing his love for his homeland with a song for syria. we're going to be talking with them about their thoughts on the

like, the two lives? you go there and now you see what parts of your country are like and yet, you're living this nice american lifestyle. you have family in syria. how do you feel? what does it make you feel? >> it's heart breaking, traumatising, it's frightening knowing that your family and friends can be attacked at any moment is the most heart breaking thing you can think of. to think that you know, it might come from my second home, america, might cause more heart break to my country, that's even more traumatising. >> you know, i want to start -- i want to ask malek this. do you think that people lose sight of the fact that these are people? we're talking about this with sanjay earlier. i've covered wars for 25 years. the big battle is also to personalize it for people because. otherwise it's just numbers. >> absolutely. michael, this is not a civil war or a war. this is the revolution that was started by the syrian children

who demanded peacefully to get rid of dictatorship so they can have free elected government to live in peace. that's what it is. and i think no one will disagree and everyone been agree that gassing children to death and having a massacre on civilians is a war crime against humanity. >> i think that's a political discussion that we've had. i'm interested in how you feel about your family members. you've had your parents beaten up. >> absolutely. >> during this war and the politics aside, what are you seeing happen to syrians? >> you know, as the a war launched by a dictator on the syrian people and the children. i cross the borders and met those innocent beautiful syrian children and remember, you are talking to a syrian who was raised in syria, not just visited every year. and i witnessed firsthand the genocide of 1982 in hama, which was committed by the dictator's father. so the simple truth is this is a vicious war launched by a brutal

dictator on the syrian civilians. that's what it is. we need to be clear about it and bring him-to-justice. we need to bring this dictator to justice. >> dena, tell me from your perspective, when you look at syria and the syria you knew and the one you see now, unfortunately, on the television because you can't probably go there now. >> right. >> do you worry that that old syria will ever come back? a lot of people are starting to talk about whether it's too late for syria in terms of the way that societies and families and communities have been absolutely torn apart. >> i think it's when you see your country at ground zero, completely to ruin, you see the syrian community come together in such a way that we've never been united this strongly before. and a way that i think we will go back it to syria one day and we will be the ones that will bring it back, the ones to make this national unity and bring it back to how it used to be and

point. this was a charitable event to protect wildlife and battle poverty in africa. prince william addressed the audience and did speak about little george. >> as you might have gathered, catherine and i have recently become proud parents of a baby who has a voice to match any lie lion's roar. >> joining us from london, max foster. you've been spending a lot of time with the royal couple here for your sunday special. so he says it's a lion's roar, the cry of george. how has it been? >> the royal couple, max and the royal couple. best buds, come on. >> i know. some sort of stalker, aren't i, at the moment. it was a really glamorous affair, and she looked stunning in this dress. but you know, you get these little moments at the moment where they're being ordinary parents. william was talking about how he's got his phone next to him at whole time. it was the first night they were

out without prince george. waiting to see if they got any calls from the palace. they left george at home with a nanny. they are moving on. initially they were saying we weren't going to have a nanny. now they have a nanny. they're relenting a bit. >> and also, you left out the headline. the nanny was his nanny when he was a kid. yeah. now 70 years old or something. what would have been the biggest change in their lives did they say? >> well, it's interesting because actually yesterday talked about leaving the military. they're not very clear exactly what he's going to do next. some people suggesting he's having another gap year. but actually, he's going to spend more time on his causes. i don't think he knows what he's going to do next. but in the documentary, he talks about conservation in particular because that's the thing he's really focusing on at the moment. let's have a listen. >> i think the last few weeks for me have been just a very

different emotional experience. something i never thought i would feel myself. and i find again it's only been a short period but a lot of things affect me differently now. >> and there is actually a couple of moments in the documentary where he gets really, really emotional. and you know, you sort of say you know, this is close to your heart and he says no, i'm really tired, i haven't slept for a couple of weeks. >> i remember last time you said he was changing many nappies. i guess that's diapers, right? london, how they speak. yeah, any other little nuggets or tidbits? >> i'm having to reeducate her on all of this. nappies, it's a program, not a stroller and a cart not a crib. anyway, we digress. what else is in the special? >> well, you know, there were some interesting little bits where he talks how his memories of diana, remember those iconic

images of diana with land mine and kids with hiv aids he talks about his memories of that. why he chose to get engaged in africa. but so often with william, i mean, we read so much into what he does. but when he got engaged in africa, he actually said, you know, it just felt like a good place to do it. so we read a lot into these decisions but you get a real sense of him in the documentary. he's really good fun in places, very serious in other places. but actually he comes across as a really authentic guy. i think he'll feel it's an honest reflection of him, as well when he sees it. >> beautiful pictures, as well. really appreciate that. looking forward to the special. >> rare insight. and it's going to be this sunday 10:00 p.m. eastern right here on cnn. >> nappies. >> coming up, anthony bourdain visit arefugee camp in bethlehem. we'll talk to him, as well.

>> first impressions of the camp, there's a remarkable number of camps. >> now it's about 6,000 people. and two-thirds are under 18 years old. it's a very young population. unfortunately, with the continuous degradation of political and economic situation, we are in a situation where we have no playgrounds or green spays anymore. i remember the day my doctor said i had diabetes. there's a lot i had to do... ... watch my diet. stay active. start insulin... today, i learned there's something i don't have to do anymore. my doctor said that with novolog® flexpen, i don't have to use a syringe and a vial... or carry a cooler. flexpen® comes prefilled with fast-acting insulin

so you remember this. we all held our breath yesterday when we watched a man being rescued from what was probably certainly a very dangerous dangerous situation. we happened to see this live here on cnn. watch this. >> riveting is pictures and you're going to hear from that man himself. he's going to be speaking in just a few minutes. we will be bringing that to you. >> first this. food, culture and traditions, of course, we're talking about chef anthony bourdain back season 2 of the emmy nominated "parts unknown," premiering sunday cnn.

>> he's going to be traveling all over the world. this season he'll check out bull fighting in spain. he looks at a lot of the newsy stuff out there. he's also going to look at the darkside of japanese culture in tokyo. >> he's also making a stop in jerusalem, gaza and the west bank. >> they're old cities divided into four quarts. there is muslim quarter, there's a jewish quarter. there is a christian quarter and there's an armenian quarter. each one functions independently, but people that live in the certain areas are all from that religion. >> right. so bourdain describes the situation in the region as extraordinarily complex. i asked him what did he learn from his stop. >> i don't know that i ever come out of places any smarter than i went in, but i -- look, i think there's always value in you know going to places where there are

often hard news stories and asking simple questions about how people live. and i think we -- you know, there's a basic humanity that i think is denied people sometimes in hard stories. and i think i like to think we showed a side of the palestinian people in gaza and the west bank that's been missing from a lot of reporting. i had a good time. a very deeply confusing time. it's easily one of the most contentious areas of the world but i find there's real value in asking the simple questions. i'm always surprised by the answers i get. >> anthony, one of the unique things you did, you spent time with an arab and israeli couple who own a restaurant. you actually had an experience with the cuisine that seems to be a fusion of the two cultures. yes? >> the cuisines are very, very similar. and in fact, you know, this is a

part of the world where even a question like, you know, who invented fa la fell or who makes the best hummus, that's already fighting words. so it's interesting to see going back and forth the similarities between the two the cuisines and how neatly they fit together in a restaurant and in this case in a marriage. >> you can watch bourdain's visit to jerusalem, gaza and the west bank this sunday night at 9:00 right here on cnn. it was fascinating talk to him about all his travels. >> i'm jealous. love that guy. really good stuff. we do want to end the program with this, live just got a little bit sweeter for people living in moscow. >> we're talking about the very first krispy kreme doughnut shop just a few blocks from the kremlin. we are told 200 people were lined up when the shop open yesterday morning. krispy kreme eventually planning to open 40 doughnut shops in moscow alone. love th.
