[Costello:] Good morning to you. It is Tuesday, October 25th. This is your A.M. WAKE-UP CALL. I'm Carol Costello, joining you live this morning from New York. It is just about half past the hour. Rescue workers are using shovels, machines, even their bare hands to search for survivors following that deadly earthquake in Turkey. Overnight, we learned the death toll now stands at 366 with more than 1,300 people injured. More than 2,000 emergency workers are doing their part to help. Many of the victims have lost everything they own.
[Nezihe Cicek, Survivor:] I have no house left or furniture left, she says. I only managed to save my children's lives. I came outside and saw I have nothing left.
[Costello:] Sunday, the 7.2 quake hit one the regions poorest areas. And with near freezing temperatures, some are collecting wood from collapses buildings to burn for heat. A moderate Islamic group is claiming victory in Tunisia's historic election although official results are not expected until later today. The North African country was the first to overthrow its long time ruler following the so-called Arab Spring. Voters waited for hours in lines that looped around polling stations. The turnout rate: 80 percent. And Tunisia's the first national election since it became independent in 1956. It is day two for the defense in the trial of Michael Jackson's doctor, Conrad Murray. CNN's Ted Rowlands has more for you from Los Angeles.
[Ted Rowlands, Cnn Correspondent:] When court resumes, a nurse who treated Michael Jackson will be on the stand. Her name is Cherilyn Lee. And she is testifying that at some point in the year 2009, the year that Michael Jackson died, he asked her to give him Propofol. Before she took the stand, we heard from another health care provider, one of Michael Jackson's long-time doctors, Dr. Allan Metzger. And he, too, told the jury that in February of 2009, Michael Jackson was looking for somebody to give him Propofol.
[Dr. Allan Metzger, Jackson's Physician:] He asked me about intravenous sleep medicine.
[Unidentified Male:] Did he happen to mention the name of this medicine?
[Metzger:] I think he used the word juice.
[Rowlands:] Also today, we're expecting to hear some character witnesses that's the defense is hoping will build up Dr. Conrad Murray's reputation which took such a beating during the prosecution case. We're going to hear from a couple of witnesses that we have met in year's past. Ruby Moseley is a woman in Houston, Texas, who was a patient of Dr. Conrad Murray. She'll say that Murray has helped her community in Houston by serving in underdeveloped area. Then, we'll hear from a guy by the named Jerry Cause. He says he had a heart attack ten years ago, and Dr. Murray saved his life.
[Gerry Cause, Dr. Murray's Patient:] I had a heart attack ten years ago, he saved my life. And he's been my friend ever since.
[Rowlands:] Janet Jackson has cancelled a few of her tour days in Australia to come back to Los Angeles to attend portions of the rest of the trial. She was not in court yesterday. We do expect to possibly see her and the rest of the family in court later today. Ted Rowlands, CNN, Los Angeles.
[Costello:] Thank you, Ted. Medical experts are expected to vote later today on a proposal that boys should get the HPV vaccine. It's already on the Centers for Disease Control's vaccine schedule for girls. Today's vote will decide if boys ages nine to 18 should get it, too. The vaccine helps prevent cervical cancer, genital warts, and other cancers. HPV is spread through sexual contact. Time to wake up now to today's morning Monday news. The Swiss pharmaceutical company, Novartis, says that it will cut 2,000 jobs over the next two years. The majority of those cuts will happen here in the United States and in Switzerland. Profits for Novartis were up 12 percent for the third quarter. The job cuts are said to be part of its $300 million restructuring plan. FedEx is marking its calendar for December 12th. The shipping giant predict that will be the busiest day in the company's history. FedEx is also planning to hire 20,000 holiday workers to help with the holiday rush. It expects to handle roughly 260 million shipments between Thanksgiving and Christmas, a 12 percent increase from last year. More trouble for Netflix. Final numbers show the company lost 800,000 subscribers in the third quarter. You will remember this past July, Netflix outraged customers when it decided to increase prices for its DVD and video streaming services. Then, things got worse when it looked to rebrand its movies by mail services as Qwikster. They expect to lose more customers by the end of the year. A tough talking campaign ad for Herman Cain, but wait until you see how it ends. We will play this ad for you. This is an ad. You got to see it though, and we'll get reaction from our deputy political director, because I don't know what this ad means. Maybe, you can figure it out. Maybe, Paul will help us. We'll have more on that after this. But first, it's time for your "Get Smart" question of the day. The U.S. government is in a huge deficit, and a new study shows one way to save money is to phase out the dollar bill and replace it with a dollar coin. So, how much money would that save over the next 30 years? Is it A. $500 million, B. $5.6 billion, or C. $1.2 trillion? We'll have the answer in two minutes. It's 33 minutes past.
