Christi paul. Im victor blackwell. This is cnn newsroom. We now know that a student from Emery University from miami, florida, is among 20 civilians who were killed in that terror attack in bangladesh. Emery university released a statement a short time ago. Saying that she was in bangladesh visiting family and that their prayers go out to her family and her friends for strength and peace at this unspeakable sad time. Also saying that they are Offering Counseling services for the community there at emery who is feeling her loss right now. But the drama that was unfolding after gunmen seized a cafe thats very popular with westerners in the diplomat zone of dhaka ended hours ago. This was an almost 12 hours long siege. They took hostages and threw grenades at piece. Commandos stormed the restaurant to end the siege. An Army Official says they were able to rescue 13 hostages and kill six of the attackers. Isis has claimed responsibility for this attack. If that is true, it would make it the second deadly act of terror this week attributed to the tear group. In turkey investigators are getting new information about the terrorists behind the attack at the istanbul airport. U. S. Officials tell cnn that an isis lieutenant from chechnya is likely behind that plot. Lets get the latest from bangladesh first though. What have you learned . Reporter we now know that of the 20 victims, nine were italian, one was an indian student from berkeley university, all 20 bodies have been taken to a Military Hospital for autopsy. According to the military there, most of them were found with slit throats. Also some new information it happened around 7 30 in the morning and it was sanctioned by the Prime Minister around the time. Thats when the commanders stormed into the restaurant and within 13 minutes they had killed six of those terrorists and were able to capture one. Now, this military intervention, of course, happened about 11 hours after the gunmen stormed into the restaurant. Weve heard from eyewitnesses, witnesses, a cafe worker who said they came in with guns, they were shooting in the air. They werent shooting at any people at the time. They werent hitting anyone. Really trying to instill fear. Heres what the cafe owner or cafe worker had to say. Translator when we got out we were on the roof. When they threw the bombs, the whole building was shaking. More than 10 or 12 bombs. They kept throwing and throwing. It felt like they were progressing forward. So when we thought they were progressing forward, we thought it wasnt safe anymore and jumped from the roof. Reporter it gives you a sense of how armed they were and how vicious they were according to the military. They had i. E. D. s sharp weapons and they had walkietalkie as well. The Prime Minister of bangladesh has just spoken to the public in bangladesh announcing two days of mourning. Lets talk more about the claim of responsibility here from isis. Which came very early on. And there are still u. S. Officials who question the validity of that claim. First, is isis in the business . Is it their m. O. To claim responsibility for attacks that they have no affiliation with . And why are we seeing this question from u. S. Officials . Reporter well, in the context of bangladesh, isis has often claimed responsibility for quite a number of attacks. These were attacks against individuals in the past two years individuals like bloggers, athei atheists, hindu priests, writers. For instance one italian expat as well. Its not uncommon for isis to claim responsibility in bangladesh. But every time theyve done so, the Bangladeshi Government has come out and said that isis is not present in bangladesh. Thats exactly why the u. S. Officials that also voiced some concern are saying that isis doesnt have a presence in the indian subcontinent and bangladesh. In effect the al qaeda, the subcontinent version of al qaeda has a much larger presence in the region. In fact, theres a group, a local militant group, which is linked to al qaeda. Theyve claimed responsibility for a number of attacks. Theres a lot of confusion right now as to who exactly is responsible. But hopefully through that one captured terrorist there will be more clarity. All right. Thank you so much. Again, this is a siege that lasted a little more than 12 hours. What happened in that siege and in that 12 hours is disturbing and its frightening and our Andrew Stevens has more on exactly what we know happened. Reporter an unidentified man carried from the scene. Teams of police and bomb disposal experts. And ambulances lined up waiting for the worst. Two shots were warning shots which were fired in the air. Thats the initial two shots i heard. Reporter the sounds of terror rocking the streets of dhaka. Gunmen targeting a cafe frequented by foreigners in an upscale diplomatic corner. My cousin has four friends who are inside being held hostage right now. Its very tense. Were very worried. You have to remember its also ramadan right now. So this is the time when people go out to eat, especially on a friday night. So the restaurant would have been more crowded than usual i would think. Reporter the siege went on through the night. Hour after hour, with no word of what was happening inside the holy artisan backry and then this. Woke me up and within five minutes i started hearing gunfire. Reporter a gun battle followed by an eerie silence. The silence broken by explosions as Security Forces swept the restaurant. The military says troops rescued more than a dozen hostages, shooting dead six gunmen and capturing at least one alive. But then, the shocking news that the military had also found 20 bodies in the restaurant, all hacked, all stabbed to death. Isis claims responsibility, even before the siege had ended. But u. S. Officials say there could be other players involved. Whats happening in bangladesh is disturbing because effectively its become a Battle Ground for the isis affiliated group and the Al Qaeda Affiliated group. Reporter terror has struck dhaka in the past. Bloggers and minority religious leaders have been hacked to death by islamic extremists. The government launched a nationwide crackdown. Authorities havent faced anything like the scale of this terror on bangladeshi soil before. I think we are seeing a rise in radicalism in this country. Its so close to home. No one really expects to see Something Like that take place. Reporter Andrew Stevens, cnn. New developments in the search for answers into what brought down the egyptair flight back in may. The committee investigated the crash says the cockpit voice recorder is in good enough condition for them to try and pull some of the data from it. It was put back together in france and is on its way back to egypt for analysis. Information from the flight data recorders released earlier this week indicated possible smoke in the front of the plane. Egyptair flight 804 plunged into the mediterranean on may 29th. Killing all 66 people on board. These pictures are something to see. Dangerous amounts of algae plaguing florida beaches and prompting a state of emergency. Do you see all that green . Its not just what it looks like. People say the stench is so bad they cant go inside and marine life suffocating underneath that thick blanket of sludge. Florida is known for Pristine Waters to see this blue green algae covering the canals and rivers, it is simply heartbreaking. People are angry. They want answers. Not to mention its a Holiday Weekend where people are known to get out on the water quite a bit in this state. Well have a full report coming up. Plus, speculation ramping up over who donald trump will pick to be his running mate. There is one name not on the short list that some would have expected. They call themselves the never hashtag whatever. Okay. Whoa. Whoa. I just call them republicans against trump or r. A. T. For short. Attorney general loretalynch says that she regrets meeting with former president bill clinton while speaking at the aspen ideas festival. This is what she said. Shes vowing to take the advice of the fbi and the career prosecutors over whether charges should be filed because of hn Hillary Clintons use of a private server. Chris frates is following the story. Good morning. Reporter good morning, youre exactly right. Attorney general loretalynch saying shes accept the recommendations of the fbi. Theyre weighing whether to bring charges against Hillary Clinton for her use of that private email server, something that has dogged her for over a year now. Its important to remember. Lynch made that announcement yesterday. As she came under fire this week for meeting with bill clinton in phoenix when both their planes sat on a tarmac there at the airport. Republicans immediately jumped on that meeting. They argued heres proof that lynch had a conflict of interest and she couldnt possibly be in partial in her departments investigation into all the clinton email stuff. So lynch says that bill clintons visit, it was simply a social call. Where they talked about grand children. I viewed it in a certain light. The issue is how does it impact the work i do or the department of justice does. I wouldnt do it again. And you know, because i think it has cast a shadow over what it should not. Over what it will not touch. Now, the attorney general says she made the decision this spring to defer to her staff on these recommendations on how to handle the investigation. But she wants to avoid a conflict of interest because, obviously, shes an employee of a democratic president who is out there campaigning for Hillary Clinton. Victor . Chris frates, thanks so much. You know one of the big Campaign Questions remaining is who will be Vice President on the democrat side Hillary Clinton is whittling her list of potential Vice President s. Political favorites include elizabeth warren. Shes been an attack dog for clinton against donald trump. And shes popular among Bernie Sanders supporters as well. Julian castro rumored to be near the top. Hes the secretary of housing and urban development. Theres also speculation about tim cain. The senator from virginia since 2013. One of her earliest supporters. Has affluent spanish speaker which will help with latino out reach they say. Donald trump is pushing against reports that members of his party are hesitant to take the rnc stage weeks from now. Tweeting this morning, quote, lets put it up. The speaker spots are totally filled with a long waiting list of those that want to speak. One of those spots is likely reserved for his Vice President ial pick, and leading that list right now according to reports dark horse contender indiana governor mike pence. A meeting between the two has some political watchers wondering if a trump pence ticket could be in the works. Jim acosta is following that story. Reporter donald trump doesnt have a running mate yet but he has a short list. A senior advisory tells cnn, new jersey governor chris christie, newt gri ging rich mary fallon are under consideration. Conversation is swirling around pence and is described as a dark horse. Mr. Trump is meeting with a number of republicans in the run up to the gop convention. Adding he has a Good Relationship with governor pence. Its a Surprising Development as pence endorsed ted cruz before the indiana primary and seemed to tamp down expectations this week. I havent talked to him about that topic. My focus is in the hoosier state. Despite trumps previous statements he would announce it at the convention, aides say it may come sooner. Trump didnt say much about his Vice President ial search. He gave a shoutout to sessions. I love my children. I love my children. My children are going to be speaking at the convention. My wife is going to be speaking at the convention. Were going to have a great time. Campaign officials hope the veep stakes will send the message that many republicans are rallying behind the presumptive nominee. Despite the never trump movement. That game they call themselves, the never hashtag, whatever. Okay. Well, i just call them republicans against trump. Or r. A. T. For short. Reporter as trumps warm up speaker sarah palin ripped into his critics. Its funny for me to see them exploding their heads. Trump wins, america will win because voters are so sick and tired of being betrayed. Reporter and trump trying to remind the party of what theyre up against pointing to bill clintons meeting with Loretta Lynch as Hillary Clinton is under an fbi investigation over her private email server. I said youre kidding i dont believe it. I thought somebody was joking. But its not a joke. Its not a joke. Its very serious thing. And to have a thing like that happen is so sad. That could be a mexican plane up there theyre getting ready to attack. Reporter theyre nervous that sometimes his rhetoric is taking the party in a wrong direction. Why arent we putting our retiree, military retirees on that voters. Get rid of the hijobs they wear. Sessions and gingrich may only by on the list as a courtesy. They may be too tall to be tapped as a running mate. Jim acosta, cnn, washington. A major city in the west bank sealed off after two deadly attacks in three days.

Hes the very man that was killed in this recent accident. What youre seeing here in this video is him lats yest year giv demo of how autopilot works. We have the details on his crash and the questions that are now being raised. Reporter victor, christi a cloud over autoonymous driving. Weve heard warnings about the technology and how its used for years. This makes it real. Heres what happened. A tractor trailer was making a left turn in front of the tesla, and the autopilot system didnt recognize the trailer because of its height and the white color against the bright sky. Now the system never triggered the brake. And neither did the driver. The car slid under the trailer, killing the driver. Tesla is taking this very seriously. Expressing sadness. 40yearold joshua brown died in the accident. He was a tesla enthusiast. Heres him showing how autopilot works. If you dont take control the car brakes. It starts to abruptly slow down. Reporter tesla wants to put this into context saying its the first fatality in 130 million miles of using autopilot. Its also making the point that drivers should keep their hands on the wheel at all times. But the software does not require hands on constantly. Now, tesla says that it tells customers the technology is still in beta which means its in development. But experts are already taking issue with the company. Theyre saying if the system has any kind of blind spot drivers should not be allowed today use it, especially at high speeds. Its one of the reasons the government is now investigating the accident. And the main issue for many critics at the end of the day is that these features lull people into a false sense of security. Ist its easy to check your Text Messages quickly or get something from the back seat. To put it into context for the industry the quest for self driving cars has been a race for companies. They believe firmly it will improve safety and reduce the number of deaths on the road. And also by the way, they really want to get people excited about buying new cars.

North carolina legislators have reserved a small part of the legislation requiring cha transgender people to use the bathroom according to the sex on their birth certificate. Supporters and opponents of the bill have rallied to the capitol. The latest change, lawmakers didnt touch the law dealing withri rest rooms. They reinstated the ability to sue for wrongful termination. His excellency the governor of North Carolina. Reporter on the steps of the State Capitol the governor of North Carolina walks with purpose. Some might call it balancing act. Undo hb 2 reporter the governor has been caught in the middle of the States Republican Party and critical Business Leaders over a controversial law focused on transgender people. The new state law requires trans people to use the public restroom corresponding to the gender on their birth certificate. In the 100 days since the law passes its been so controversial, the nba has threatened to move next years allstar game from the state. A handful of entertainers, including Bruce Springsteen have canceled North Carolina tour dates. The economic pressure has been so fierce, republican legislators are in the works to modify. The issue of sex reassignment. Which so ever is more recent. Reporter thats a leading transactivist in the state. Reading the modified version of the law for the first time. The problem with this is you have to undergo sexual reassignment surgery. We cannot require you to do something. Thats not something that people have to do. Reporter we wanted to better understand the proposed modifications, so we asked the house bills coauthor paul stan. But he didnt have much to say. Where do things stand with house bill two . North carolinas governor also declined to speak to us. But behind the scenes, state democrat chris gros said the governor is meeting with adversaries to get enough votes to get the bill to pass. Its tenuous around the nonfix weve heard that does something to change house bill 2. Reporter for those like candice cox uaffected for the law, there is no compromise its repeal or nothing at all. To ask whether or not we could compromise or is there something outside of repeal i would say you cannot ask me what level of discrimination is okay. Reporter by some estimates house bill two could cost the state up to 5 billion a year in lost revenue. Republican lawmakers have said economic threats arent enough to change the law. Now however that seems to have changed. Nick valencia cnn, raleigh, North Carolina. This fight over hb 2 continues, North Carolina voters are being introduced to an ad opposing the bill. All of us take pride in our wo work. I remember when i learned zeke was transgender and transitioned from female to male. I was uncomfortable at first. I get that. Ive heard a lot of people are concerned about restrooms. When you stop and think about it Everyone Needs to use the bathroom. A law that forces zeke to use the womens restaurant is inappropriate. Hb 2 goes so far when i use the mens room i could be thrown in jail. It took away protections for gay and transgender people. Hb 2 is already hurting our economy. Businesses are leaving and theyre taking jobs with them. Conventions have already canceled and its costing us millions. Hb 2 goes against who North Carolinaens are and the kind of state we want to live in. Zeke joins us live from ashville. I want to come back to the ad in just a moment. Lets deal with whats on the governors desk right now. This new bill has restored the right to sue for wrongful termination in state court. But your thoughts on this not dealing at all with the restroom and identity portion of hb 2. Sure. Well i think its very important to note that its not restored fully the rights that were there previous. The reporting time is drastically limited from what it used to be as far as, you know, early and wrongful job termination. There is still an unfair burden thats placed on every citizen in North Carolina in regards to reporting discrimination. So thats first of all. Second of all, i think, you know, the restrooms is actually one of the smallest features in the dangerous legislation. We still as cities and municipalities do not have the right to set our own local nondiscrimination ordinances and also there is definitely issues with living wage and being able to assess what we think is fair wage in different localities around the state. As far as the impact that is being placed on transgender individuals, its huge. You know, weve had a surge in our surge in calls to suicide hotlines for people who are just feeling so victimized and criminalized by this law. A lot of us feel like we have targets on our back and thats our basic daily bodily functions are being policed by everyone around us. This legislation has basically mandated everybody to imspenspes going to the rest room. Theres a shot over your shoulder as youre standing between the mens room and the womens room. Take me into that moment here. All right. We apparently had a problem with our skype there. Id love to continue to have that conversation. If we can get zeke back up. Do we have our next okay. Lets continue this conversation now. Were going to start with hb 2 but broaden the conversation with misty snow, a candidate for the u. S. Senate. I should say nominee. Shes the first openly transgender woman to win a nomination at that level. Misty, good morning to you. Good morning. Lets pick up right where we left off where Technology Got in our way with zeke. Your thoughts on the hb 2 bill out of North Carolina. All the pressure that was placed by businesses. By the nba, by individuals who protested and these are the changes that were made. Your thoughts on the potential for what is now law in North Carolina to be overturned at some point. I think it needs to be overturned. You know, like zeke was saying its law thats fairly dangerous and puts a target on the back of trans people. Trans people they have to use restrooms like anybody else. You know, making them use a restroom thats incompatible to their gender appearance creates more problems than it solves. The law doesnt solve any problems, its creating a lot of problems. I think businesses are right to put pressure on the lawmakers because its a bad law and it needs to be repealed. All right. So thats a state issue. Youre running for federal office. Lets talk about federal issues. Pentagon announced it would drop one of the last Major Barriers by allowing transgender men and women to serve openly in the military. That prompted backlash from former marine and Family Research Council President tony perkins. He said this is another example of president obama using americas military to fight culture wars instead of fighting real wars against the enemies of our nation. Whats your response to that . I think you know its a right move by the military. Theres no reason why a trans person couldnt serve in the military. I think its long overdo. You know, the comments from more conservative people. If we need soldiers, why deny qualified people for any reason if theyre willing to serve. Let me ask you about your campaign. You are obviously an historic nominee. How do you turn an historic nomination into a historic win. Your state hasnt elected a democratic senator in 40 years. How do you get there . Well, you know, were trying to get our message out. You know, my opponent has a 38 Approval Rating in the latest poll. That same poll shows im actually polling better than previous democratic nominees for u. S. Senate. Those numbers are encouraging. Im hoping we can make up that gap over the next four months. You know, and i think one thing we could do is by trying to just raise money. By historic nature of this has been good for fund raising, its giving me a lot of attention. I think i need to keep getting my message out there and make the case with the president ial nominating contest winding down. Those people who supported Bernie Sanders, its time to start supporting progressive candidates around the nation. And you know, even like just 50,000 donate 20 each to me i would have, you know, a comparable amount of money to what mike lee has. Misty snow democratic nominee for senate in the state of utah. Misty, thank you so much. Thank you for having me. All right. Lets go back to zeke. Do we have zeke back . Hey. All right. We fixed the skype situation here. Let me come back to you with the fight thats going on as i mentioned to misty snow a moment ago, the pressure that came from major businesses that are headquartered in charlotte and other parts of the state. The sports teams from individuals, separate campaigns, do you believe there is potential to overturn that portion of the law that requires using the restrooms that are assigned to the sex at birth certificate and not Sexual Identity . I think the support that we see is overwhelming and incredible and its rightly placed. I think the monetary burden thats being placed on the state for full repeal is whats really going to be the thing that turns the tide here. And i think that is what its going to take for repeal in order to get that economic support back to our state. Okay. Whats been the response youve received after this ad has been across the state . I was pleasantly surprised to get overwhelming support. I havent had any negative feedback whatsoever. And it definitely took some personal soul searching to figure out whether or not i wanted to be out there as publicly as i have decided to be. Ive had, you know, friends, colleagues, people who i havent heard from in years or decades. People from around the globe that i know contacting me and thanking me for putting that ad up there. Its been very successful and incredibly gratifying. Zeke, thank you so much for working through the technical issues with us. And spending a few minutes to talk with us about this important issue. Thanks for focusing on basic every day rights that every citizen needs, i appreciate it. Christi . Another big issue thats bubbling up along the florida coast, take a look at this. Its prompting a state of emergency. Toxic green algae is blooming in the water here. Jennifer gray is actually there. Jennifer, i know youre just right on top of it. What is it like . Give us a sense of that. Reporter christi, its unbelievable. I saw somebody on social media describe it as sticking your head in a trash can of meat with rotting with cat litter times ten.

Do you feel like you need to step back as we heard people say they cant even go outside . Reporter it gets worse and worse because the sun marinates it. It gets more smelly and more disgusting. You can see just the flies even gathering on it. Its incredibly thick. You can see just stirring it up, it smells like sewage, it smells like just rotten meat as somebody described it on social media. Its nearly unbearable. Its incredibly sad. People are furious. This is all a Water Management issue. Its become very political. You know, theyre constantly trying to regulate the levels of lake okeechobee especially during the rainy season, hurricane season, they dont want it to get above a certain level. If it over flows you have a flooding problem around lake okeechobee. As theyre releasing water, it has a lot of fertilizer from the agriculture industry, urban runoff. It has a lot of chemicals and pollutants, not to mention its fresh water being filtrated in and out of these rivers, canals, that are saltwater estuaries, youre messing up the estuaries down here in south florida. And youre also like you said, youre suffocating the marine life. Its depleting the oxygen out of the water. Not the mention the disgusting sludge. Its fi its filtering the sun light. People are furious. The economy is reliant on the fishing and tourism. Nobody wants to come when theres algae like this. So people are demanding answers and hopefully they will get some very soon. Theyre quickly if i can mention there was an amendment a couple years ago that voters passed 75 that said to buy out some of the land south of lake okeechobee to use that to store some of this water thats polluting. And it passed but nothings been done to buy the land. Theyre basically stuck here with pollutants in the water. The algae blooms and theyre not getting any answers. Thank you so much.
