child also found in that burned home resembling perhaps an 8-year-old boy. their grandmother, who has already lost her only child, spoke to cnn. >> when she comes back, that's a feeling i can't even tell you. worse than the feelings we're having now. it's just -- it would be so unbelievable. but she's all we have left. and that's it. >> that's hard to watch that but it's really uncanny. take a look at grandmother and granddaughter. it's hard not to miss the uncanny resemblance between these family members. she's wearing the picture of hannah on her t-shirt. i want to take us out there who has been covering this from the beginning. why is it an issue of explosives? why are we hearing that there may be homemade explosives with this man dimaggio? where did that come from? >> reporter: it came directly from the san diego police department. not wanting to show too many cards, it says that everybody needs to approach the suspect with extreme caution because they believe, as they said, that he may have improvised explosive devices on him and they have also warned, not only citizens, but law enforcement officers, let's say the suspect's vehicle is detained somewhere else in the western united states. they are saying approach the car with caution because they fear at some point he may have booby-trapped the car. he may abandon the car and, of course, once that car door is opened, the car could go off. that is what is going on with that front, ashleigh. >> and friends of jim dimaggio speaking out on his behalf and suggesting this is so unlike the man that they know. what else are we hearing about that? >> reporter: well, as you know, ashleigh, jim dimaggio had the trust of this family. that's why it's such an allegation of mistrust. they cannot believe that he's being accused of these crimes. >> he's allegedly being accused of arson and kidnapping and murder. that doesn't match with the jim that i know. i think i'm surprised as well as his sister and i'm very extremely puzzled by this. they don't believe the facts that are being represented by the media is consistent with what led up to this and how he has acted in the past. >> reporter: again, members of the anderson family saying again time and time again that they can't believe that jim dimaggio could do something. they trusted him. and now we've got a nationwide manhunt. >> paul, if you hear anything, let us know. we also have another story and it's extreme weather. starting with destructive wildfires plaguing california. and three people are dead in flash floods across the midwest and in the south and also there's storms all along the east coast. it's a bit of a round robin. i want to take you first to california where 6,000 people, 6,000 have been driven out of their homes by a wildfire that is just growing at every minute. the silver fire has no eaten through at least 14,000 acres and a steady wind, very problematic wind, is making it hard for the more than 1400 firefighters working hard to stop it. >> we are seeing fire behavior that we haven't seen in such a long time that the fields are so dry and you add wind to that and it makes a challenge to catch or keep up with the fire. >> well, that's the dry part of the story in california. it's hoping for rain to help them battle the wildfire but here's the wet part of the story. first, missouri, heavy rain causing major flash flooding there and when i say flash, i mean flooding within minutes. our george howell is live and chad myers is live at the extreme weather center. george, let me begin with you. clearly it looks like the flood has been through and gone but, man, this does happen fast. >> reporter: it happened really fast, ashleigh. in just a matter of minutes, this community was changed all a result of the turkey creek in holster, missouri. the creek at one point, just 24 hours ago, was as high as where i'm standing right now. i want to give you an example of what it did. you look at this trailer home here and people tell me that this trailer home was on the other side of the property over there. so it was strong enough to shift it, to push it over here. and this is also interesting. look at this home. the shane geling has been ripped off. this is a result of the rising water. but look at the things that are still in place, that weren't moved. it's always strange to see the power and force of a storm like this. and today what you see, you see people coming back with bulldozers here. people are coming back to their homes for the first time to see what is left, to try to start over. the good news here, ashleigh. no one was injured. people are being noiknocking on getting people out and people considered him a hero. there is a lot of damage and people were worried about the weather, worried about other storms coming through. i want to toss to chad myers now because, chad, really, that's the concern. is there more weather, more rain coming through this area? >> no question about it. more rain is coming. it's sagged to the south last night in arkansas. now that the front has shifted to the north, the rain will be back today. let me back you up five days, guys. here's what it looked like. sunday there was rain over st. louis and then another day, tuesday, another day wednesday, another day thursday, and here we go, we're all the way up now to live on friday and there's more rain on the map. it's because, like a stationary bike, this stationary front isn't moving. everywhere that you see white spots, this is kansas, southeastern kansas, parts of missouri, almost to the boot hill, that's ten inches of rain in the past five days. some spots picked up eight inches, including branson in 12 hours. that's just flooding rainfall that won't stop. and when you don't get that front to move, you're going to get more rainfall coming. back to you, ashleigh. >> chad, thank you very much for that. keep an eye on things, as always. i always ask you to keep us posted if you see something particular for certain groups that we need to warn. chad myers live for us, thank you. >> you're welcome. in california, police are looking for this missing criminal defense investigator. sandra coke disappeared sunday night from oakland. she was last seen with randy ilana who a family spokesperson says she had dated several years ago. two college friends of dzhokhar tsarnaev face charges for taking fireworks and other items from tsarnaev's dorm room to keep investigators from finding them. if convicted, they could face up to 20 years in prison. a very serious crime. developing at the state department, there is a new terrorist threat in pakistan at the u.s. consulate in lahore. the embassy in islamabad is not that far away. state department also warning americans against travel to pakistan. this latest development is likely to come up during president obama's news conference. that's scheduled for later today. you can see it live right here on cnn. it gets under way at 3:00 p.m. eastern time. singer usher headed to court today called for by his ex-wife after his son nearly drowned in a family swimming pool at his home. that's coming up next. we'll bey as he goes back to taking tylenol. i was okay, but after lunch my knee started to hurt again. and now i've got to take more pills. ♪ yup. another pill stop. can i get my aleve back yet?

>> yes. we realized he had emotionalwriter.com page, a website that he was writing where he says he's a published author and writer for self-help books. in hethese self-help books he talks about communication and he gives marriage advice and counseling advice. in one book summary he goes on to say how he saved his own marriage. he says the purpose of the website was for his readers to find the purpose of life. it's a very ironic twist to derek medina's past. it's unclear how long he maintained this website. he was giving marriage tips and counseling tips to his readers. ashleigh? >> something else that was posted and only makes me think about the criminal defense plan for this man who is undoubtedly going to face serious murder charges and that is that he was suggesting that he was being punched or that this was somehow a self-defense of some kind. any more information about that? >> no new information about that. just to remind our viewers, he admitted this to police in a confession, he had time to go over to his home, changed his clothes, went to his family and then went to the police department and turned himself in. he said that he fired those shots, as you mentioned, in self-defense in a heated argument. another twist to this story is how this image got perpetuated. there some third party sites, buzz feed, new york magazine that are receiving a lot of criticism because they published this photo. now, cnn has elected to blur the image. this is a very disturbing photo and if you have a weak stomach, now is not the time to look at the tv. buzz feed and others aired this image and posted this image online without blurring it. they have received criticism and we have reached out to them and so far we have not received anything. you have to remember, unless you're a friend of derek medina's or of his wife, you wouldn't have seen this image. ashleigh. >> or friends of friends who can get access to that as well and boy this viral photograph, that can happen so, so quickly, evidenced by this. nick valencia, thank you for that. >> you bet. music icon usher and his ex-wife, they are both headed into a courtroom today because they are in a fight over the custody of their two young sons. tameka foster raymond filed for an emergency hearing after their 5-year-old nearly drowned monday in a swimming pool at usher's house. it was the singer's aunt who called 911. now, usher is the person who has the primary custody of these boys. but his ex says that he is an absentee father. he spent 85% of the time away from his home. and that those kids are in the custody of family and friends instead. cnn's elena is joining us where that hearing is expected in atlanta. other than a garden variety custody hearing, nothing is garden variety when you have somebody in the limelight like usher. >> we are expecting usher and his ex-wife to be in court in a few hours. they are going to be discussing that hearing. tameka foster raymond requested this hearing a day after the incident. they have two boys, ages 4 and 5. according to court documents, they share joint legal custody of the children but usher has had primary physical custody of the two boys since last year, which means the children live with him. now, in may, tameka filed a civil action looking to change that saying that usher is gone most of the time, saying that the children are in the care of family members. here's what tameka's attorney told us about that. >> miss raymond's focus is on the health and safety of the children and that they would be in the custody of the parent or of the other parent, not in the third-party setting for days at a time. that's the main concern, the children being left with third parties for an extended period of time. >> this pool incident has brought the custody issue to a head. they have filed a response but they are not commenting. we hope to learn more when both sides meet in court this afternoon. ashleigh? >> that is sure to be a very highly publicized court hearing. i want to take this exact conversation now to the legal arena. our attorneys join us now with what connect expect and how it might be different or maybe not just because they are famous people. let me start with you, danny. this is a bit of a strange question. i think a lot of people may be thinking it. for the longest time, judges and courts often favored mothers when it came to custody. in this case, it was usher who got custody of these boys. does it make any difference off the bat who was awarded the primary custody and the greater rights in a custody battle when it comes to challenging it later? >> well, from a gender perspective, you're right. women were awarded sole custody more often but that's clearly changed. the important thing to understand with this case is leaving your children in the custody of a third-party custodian, like an aunt or a nancy is not a per se violation of a custody order unless the party's have spelled that out specifically in the custody order. even though usher has primary custody and he's absentee, he's not leaving them absentee. if the custodians have a problem, if they are negligent or not capable, that's another issue. but simply leaving children with a third-party custodian while one is working is not itself a per se violation. >> so jeff gold, not to suggest that you've had a chance to look at their particular parenting plan when it came to this custodial agreement, usually they are pretty darn careful about the t's be crossed and the i's be dotted about time when you're with those children, whether the other parent is allowed to sign off on the caregivers and, three, first right of refusal, if you're gone for 24, 36, 48 hours, that custody reverts back to the noncustodial parent. wouldn't you think that usher would have done a very particularly specific job on the parenting plan to make sure there's no loopholes? >> yeah, i can imagine them being sloppy about it, as many parents are. but look what we have swirling around. we have tragedy. you know, the injury of his son. remember, the custody was only given to him one month after the 11-year-old of tameka had died in a boating accident. we have acrimony. this is a mom who didn't get custody of her kids. she's been fuming, no doubt, for a year now. and then she posts this picture on the internet right after the injury of -- sort of an erie picture of her and her son. why was that done? and then finally, we have the legal end of it where now they are in court dramatically right after the incident and he's a celebrity. so it's all over the place. so it's anything but a run of a mill case. >> and we should mention that that other child who died was not in the care of usher at the time that that terrible tragedy happened. it was a water sports accident in which he died. but specifically, danny, if you want to challenge this and you want to use this pool incident as the reason for this, don't you have to show something like negligence, recklessness, or abuse to be able to really overturn something a judge has already looked pretty thoroughly at? >> you've got it, ashleigh. things happen. accidents happen. but if there is negligence, if there was a dereliction of duty, if this third-party custodian, this aunt or whomever else this child was left with failed to watch the kid, failed to supervise adequately, then that's going to be a different issue. but it's not a per se -- it's not a per se thing. >> all right. danny, thank you. stand by if you will. i have other things i want you to weigh in on in a moment. not the least of which with this next one, a boy who looks like he could be anybody's kid is facing the real prospect of spending the rest of his life locked up. yeah. that kid. if jurors decide to convict him of murdering his own step brother. what the prosecution has to do to make sure that joshua brown stays behind bars for decades. the middle of this special moment and i need to run off to the bathroom. ♪ i'm fed up with always having to put my bladder's needs ahead of my daughter. ♪ so today, i'm finally talking to my doctor about overactive bladder symptoms. [ female announcer ] know that gotta go feeling? ask your doctor about prescription toviaz. one toviaz pill a day significantly reduces sudden urges and accidents, for 24 hours. if you have certain stomach problems or glaucoma, or can not empty your bladder, you should not take toviaz. get emergency medical help right away if your face, lips, throat or tongue swells. toviaz can cause blurred vision, dizziness, drowsiness and decreased sweating. do not drive, operate machinery or do unsafe tasks until you know how toviaz affects you. the most common side effects are dry mouth and constipation. talk to your doctor about toviaz. a 17-year-old boy could soon find out if he's about to spend the rest of his life locked up in prison. 60 years. maybe even more. think about how long that really is. the attorneys are now gifgs tvie arguments in the murder trial. he worked alongside his stepfather to bludgeon to death his stepbrother back in 2011. if you think about him looking young there, when it happened, he was two years younger. he was 15. in that picture that you're seeing, he's 17. his defense started this morning by saying that his dad, joshua, was the only killer. >> you really think he involved anybody else at all, anybody else at all to carry out this horrible crime? and it was horrible. and that's how you know who did it. by himself. >> cnn's legal correspondent herself an attorney, jean casarez is with me. jean, there are a couple of things when the jury gets this case that they can consider in order to get them to murder. it's not just did he do it or didn't he. they actually have a few theories that they can chose between. how does that work? >> well, this is a murder case and it is a theory that either he acted alone in killing his brother, his 14-year-old brother, or he did it with his father. now, this is -- in the age of csi actually, this case has no physical evidence. it has no forensic evidence, it doesn't have phone records, text messages. here's what it does have. joshua young actually confesses to this very close in time by saying, i killed my brother trey and i've got clothes and a baseball bat. help me get rid of it. also, there's a timeline that is critical here. his father, who is a career criminal, pleaded guilty saying i did this alone. i did it all by myself. but you know what? the father's stories has so many holes. there's a video of him from the circle k and he's got a university of louisville t-shirt on that has a number 34. that is just about the time that trey was killed. hours later, when the body is discovered, ashleigh, there he is, the father, in that very same t-shirt. shouldn't that be the bloody shirt? shouldn't that be the shirt that was thrown out because of that bloody, bloody scene? >> wow, that's amazing evidence. those confessions were given to admitted liars. so the only way we know about the confessions are from admitted liars. it can't be very powerful to have a confession from an admitted liar. >> that's right. and that is very, very true. and the father had such an influence on these people that would make them lie but here they are in court, the father's locked up. they don't have that pressure on them anymore. so why should they lie at this point? >> all right. jean casarez, we're looking at live pictures in that courtroom. we're going to be on a verdict watch likely later today. i hope you'll stand by to be able to bring it live to cnn when it comes down. a very emotional time, a very tense time when a verdict is about to be delivered and it's made even more tense when you see a face like that, a young boy. jean casarez, thank you. i wanted to make one more note. we often say, oh, a sentence of life or a sentence of 20 years or 40 years. can you think of a sentence of life for ariel castro in his 40s or 50s, yeah, 30, 40 years. when you think of a sent eence r this kid, it's akin to a sentence since the start of world war ii. that's what this kid is facing. it's a remarkable reality. moving on, the accused ft. hood shooter. went out and just said it, i carried out the massacre. not in those words but in so many words. he is acting out as his own lawyer. i'm also going to talk to a lawyer who has had to go through this, stand by and watch your client as he defends himself and almost walks himself to a maximum sentence. it's all coming up just ahead. we have stories to update you on right now. a nationwide manhunt for a suspected kidnapper of a 16-year-old girl and possibly her 8-year-old brother. also in massachusetts, jurors are still trying to decide the fate of the alleged mob boss james "whitey" bulger. he's accused in the death of 19 people. also in texas, a brand-new development in the request of the stand-by attorneys of an army major to actually change their role in the defense regarding the court-martial of nidal hasan at ft. hood, texas. in that court-martial, his stand-by attorneys are now asking a higher court to allow them to alter this whole shattered attorney situation and their participation in the trial given that he's defending himself and i think it's fair to say he's not doing a very good job of it suggesting he's the shooter right off the bat. but if granted, it would override the rejection of their request just yesterday, kind of like a big appeal. as you probably already know, hasan is acting as his own attorney and acting very strangely. he's accused of 13 murders, killing 13 people at ft. hood, texas, four years ago. what it's like when you have a client defending himself and you have to sit there and watch it, defense attorney chris hadad who was in a notorious murder trial in 2007. first of all, it's great to have you. you're a perfect guest to weigh in on what these attorneys at ft. hood are going through. tell me in ten seconds or so the crux of your case that you dealt with and what your client was like. >> in my case, my client -- first of all, thank you for having me. it's a pleasure to be here. in my case, my client was charged with first-degree murder involving a shooting at a synagogue in boca raton, florida. and he represented himself. the process unfolded and over the course of time, much like in the case in ft. hood, my client at the time chose to alter the case and defend himself. >> so i watched that case. i covered that case. and i had my mouth on the floor for most of it because your client was so intransgient in that proceeding that i foresaw it was going to be a mistrial. it was just so unusual. how is it that he wasn't even incompetent to stand trial and if you could translate to what you're seeing with nidal hasan. a lot of people are saying, how is it possible that he's not competent given that he doesn't seem to be able to assist in his defense? >> well, there are certainly quite a few parallels that can be seen in both cases, mental health aspects were front and center in the case in the case that i represented the defendant was evaluated extensively on the question of competency as well as sanity and much like the case with mr. hasan, the ft. hood case, where competency and insanity also were important issues in the case. in both cases, ultimately the trial court and then obviously in mr. hasan's case, the military tribunal has found that he has the ability to understand their proceedings, he's got a rational understanding of the case and therefore he meets the criteria for self-misrepresentation. >> how do you protect yourself as an attorney when you have a client running himself into the ground? because it's your reputation, too. your possible ineffective assistance as counsel that could be at risk. how do you protect yourself? how do these lawyers for nad id hasan protect themselves? >> this is a death penalty case and the challenges that they are confronting are so difficult and so important. in terms of protecting one self, it always comes down to doing what's in the best interest of the client and in this case it seems like the judge has laid out the parameters and they are doing what ethnically they are supposed to do. >> it's good to see you again. it's been a long time since i was watching you in that courtroom, chris. thanks for joining me today. i appreciate it. >> thank you, ashleigh. i have new developments to tell you about. a famous starlet with the church of scientology. officials are now questioning leah remini about a missing person's report. was she missing or not?

captioning sponsored by cbs this is the "cbs evening news" with scott pelley. >> elliott: good evening. scott is on assignment. i'm josh elliott. this is our western edition. terrorists have struck again overseas. the target today was in dhaka, the capital of bangladesh. multiple gunmen, believed to be islamic extremists, stormed a restaurant popular with foreign diplomats. they took at least 20 hostages and killed two police commanders and possibly others in a gun battle. the u.s. state department says no american government workers were in the restaurant. that and coming three days after the deadly airport attack in turkey, means security is very much on the minds of millions of americans on the move this holiday weekend. here's homeland security correspondent jeff pegues. >> reporter: heavily armed police are on patrol at chicago's o'hare airport. canine units bolster security at los angeles international airport. there is enhanced police presence in key locations across country. in new york city, a new class of more than 1,200 officers was sworn in to complement the n.y.p.d.'s anti-terror squad. police commissioner william bratton: >> this year, they are here, fully trained, fully equipped. the name of the game when dealing with terrorist threats is to prevent to the greatest degree possible. >> reporter: federal official says there are no credible or specific threats this fourth of july weekend. still, according to the department of homeland security, federal officials remain concerned about terrorist-inspired individuals and home-grown violent extremists who may be encouraged or inspired to target public events or places. san bernardino, paris, brussels, and orlando demonstrate that terrorists will consider a wide selection of targets. but the attack in turkey serves as a reminder that transportation hubs, like train stations and airports, remain a security priority. l.a.x. is preparing for a record 1.2 million travelers. the first level of security begins well before the screening machines. patrick gannon is the airport's chief of police. >> the first layer is always intelligence. we also have perimeter units that are in the area. we have officers assigned to each of our terminals. but one of the messages i always put out, is that we need everybody's help. >> reporter: law enforcement is reminding the public that if they see something, say something. josh, airlines are warning customers to be prepared for longer wait times at airport security checkpoints. >> elliott: jeff pegues in washington, thank you for that. meanwhile, in turkey today, investigators focused their attention on a chechen extremist, now thought to be the guiding force behind the airport attack. holly williams is in istanbul. >> reporter: akhmed chatayev is an isis commander and a convicted arms smuggler, as well as the mastermind of the massacre at istanbul's main airport, according to a u.s. official and turkish media reports. like thousands of other isis fighters, chatayev is from russia's chechen minority, and a veteran of chechenya's brutal conflict with the russian state. an u.s. official said he's believed to be in raqqa, the so- called isis capital. turkey state news agency today named two of the suicide bombers as rakim bulgarov and vadim osmanov, and also reported that istanbul police arrested 15 foreigners in connection with the attack. there are conflicting reports about where the bombers came from, including russia, uzbekistan, and kyrgyzstan, but all are recruiting grounds for isis. for five years now, foreign fighters have used turkey as a transit country to reach the syrian war zone. in 2013, we watched people slipping through the border fence in broad daylight. there's better security now, but hursit gunes, a turkish politician, told us the airport bombing is partly a result of turkey's failure to control its border. >> some people call it a highway. some people call it a connection point. >> reporter: and now turkey has become a target. >> yes. >> reporter: the bombers reportedly used a cocktail of explosives in their suicide vests and, josh, we've learned that those explosives are widely used in the syrian conflict and readily purchased on the black market here in turkey. >> elliott: holly williams in istanbul for us tonight. thank you. today, for the first time, the white house released figures on drone strikes and its counter- terrorism campaign. the total is just for areas outside the principal war zones in iraq and afghanistan, but does include pakistan, libya, yemen, and somalia. between 2009 and 2015, the white house says american drones conducted 473 airstrikes, killing more than 2,300 combatants and up to 116 civilians. that civilian figure is far below the estimates of independent researchers. and today, attorney general loretta lynch expressed regret over her meeting this week with former president bill clinton. lynch's office is investigating hillary clinton for the possible mishandling of classified information on her private e-mail server when she was secretary of state. julianna goldman has this. >> i certainly wouldn't do it again. >> reporter: it wasn't a complete mea culpa, but attorney general loretta lynch acknowledged the firestorm she created by meeting with former president bill clinton earlier this week. >> the fact that the meeting that i had is now casting a shadow over how people are going to view that work, is something that i take seriously and deeply and painfully. >> reporter: republicans and even some democrats have charged that lynch compromised the integrity of the f.b.i.'s ongoing investigation into hillary clinton's private e-mail server. today, bowing to political pressure, the attorney general announced she'll rubber stamp whatever the f.b.i. recommends, though she also said she made that decision a while ago. >> the recommendations will be reviewed by career supervisors in the department of justice and in the f.b.i., and by the f.b.i. director. and then, as is the common process, they present it to me and i fully expect to accept their recommendations. >> reporter: the controversy has given fresh fodder to donald trump and other republicans, who point to clinton's e-mail as evidence the presumptive democratic presidential nominee can't be trusted. >> bill clinton goes in, the other day, into an airplane, just happened to be, oh, just a coincidence. >> reporter: in denver today, trump continued to pounce, casting doubt on lynch's and clinton's claims that they talked for 30 minutes primarily about golf and their children. >> he opened up a pandora's box. you know, he's talking about golf and grandchildren. i love my grandchildren so much, but if i talk about them more than about nine or ten seconds, you know. >> reporter: lynch said she couldn't say when the f.b.i. will complete its investigation. clinton will be interviewed before a final report is issued, and sources tell cbs news the investigation is in its final stages. josh, that means the decision on whether to bring charges could come during the height of the campaign. >> elliott: julianna goldman, thank you. well, donald trump was in denver to drum up support from conservatives. major garrett is covering his campaign. ♪ glory hallelujah ♪ >> reporter: while a christian quartet harmonized inside, donald trump supporters and protesters clashed outside. sarah palin, trump's warm-up act before the largest gathering of conservatives outside of washington, mocked g.o.p. holdouts. >> it's really funny to me to see the exploding heads keep exploding. i just call them republicans against trump, or rat for short. ( cheers ) >> reporter: most were with trump, who spoke off the cuff, ignoring his recent infatuation with teleprompters. >> any evangelicals in the room? >> reporter: trump made blatant appeals for conservative support. one sounded particularly aggressive in light of colorado's history of mass shootings at nearby columbine and aurora. >> colorado, n.r.a., they're like synonymous. >> reporter: trump also promised tougher anti-terror policies at home and abroad, including inducements for informants. >> so that people turn in people when they know there's something going on. >> reporter: trump said democratic rival hillary clinton did not understand how to defeat isis. >> the only thing they understand is strength and toughness. and we're weak, we're weak. and hillary is weak as you get. >> reporter: afterward, these women for trump could barely contain themselves. >> colorado loves donald trump. >> wooo! >> women, colorado women love donald trump. >> reporter: and laurel emmer offered trump advice on teleprompters. >> the only reason somebody needs a teleprompter is so they can stay on course and not tell a lie. >> reporter: what matters most to trump is unity, josh. he found some of that here amid predictions from his campaign that the "never trump" movement will evaporate before the republican convention even starts. >> elliott: major, thanks. well, today, the transportation department reported more than 35,000 people were killed on u.s. roads last year, an increase of 7.7% from 2014. one factor-- lower fuel prices led to more americans driving more miles. but a deadly crash this year has focused new attention on cars that use autopilot technology to essentially drive themselves. here's transportation correspondent kris van cleave. >> reporter: in a youtube video, former navy seal joshua brown shows the semiautonomous autopilot feature on his tesla s sedan saving him from a collision. in may, 40-year-old brown was killed when his tesla, driving with the autopilot feature activated, collided with a semi trailer as it turned left across a florida intersection. in a statement, tesla says, "neither autopilot nor the driver noticed the white side of the trailer against a brightly lit sky so the brake was not applied." this first fatal accident involving autopilot is now being investigated by the national highway traffic safety administration. >> something failed in the system, because it did not detect the large tractor trailer, and it did not apply the brakes in time. >> reporter: byron bloch is an auto safety researcher. what does this accident say about where we are as far as semi- or completely autonomous vehicles? >> it says we're rushing very quickly, maybe much too quickly. there are no even basic minimum standards yet issued by n.h.t.s.a. >> reporter: the fatal crash investigation comes as google and several auto makers are rapidly developing autonomous vehicles and initial federal guidelines for self-driving cars are being finalized, guidelines that will likely be broad strokes for now. they are expected later this summer. jessica caldwell from edmunds.com. >> i think it may give them reason to pause, for a minute, look at what happened, look to see if the technologies they're working on address these kinds of issues, what kinds of issues can also happen that are similar to this. >> reporter: the semi driver alleges brown was watching a movie and may have been speeding at the time of the accident. police are still investigating the crash. josh, tesla stresses drivers need to keep their hands on the wheel and be ready to take complete control of the vehicle at any time when the autopilot is active. >> elliott: kris van cleave tonight, thank you. well, still to come-- toxic slime turns a famous stretch of surf into pea soup. and several states take the mileage tax for a test drive, linking wallets with odometers. rs. prised that i wasn't finding all of these germans in my tree. i decided to have my dna tested through ancestry dna. the big surprise was we're not german at all. 52% of my dna comes from scotland and ireland. so, i traded in my lederhosen for a kilt. ancestry has many paths to discovering your story. get started for free at ancestry.com. and grease in just a minute on dirt and grime mr. clean will clean your whole house and every room that's in it. floors, doors, walls, halls he's so tough, he cleans'em all grimy tubs and tiles he'll do so your bathroom looks clean as new mr. clean gets tough on stuck-on stuff cleans kitchens in a minute. mr. clean will clean your whole house and every room that's in it. mr. clean, mr. clean, mr. clean! and you're talking to your doctor about your medication... this is humira. this is humira helping to relieve my pain and protect my joints from further damage. this is humira helping me go further. humira works for many adults. it targets and helps to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms. doctors have been prescribing humira for over 13 years. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened, as have blood, liver and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ready for a new chapter? talk to your rheumatologist. this is humira at work. >> elliott: there will be no swimming and no people along several beaches in florida this holiday weekend. crowds of tourists are being driven away by waves of putrid slime oozing ashore. omar villafranca says this toxic beach invasion smells as bad as it looks. >> reporter: on florida's treasure coast, thick, floating globs of toxic blue-green algae are baking in the sun. >> it's all toxic. >> reporter: for crystal lucas who grew up here, the smell is smothering. >> i would describe this smell as a cat, a dead cat, in a hefty bag, at noon, on black asphalt after a week. >> reporter: the worst algae bloom in years has shut down several beaches, leaving them empty for the usually busy fourth of july weekend. signs now warn swimmers because the algae can cause skin irritations and stomach issues, which is scaring away customers at irene gomes' motel on jensen beach. how much business have you lost? >> well, just from one group of relatives that were coming in together was $1,000. >> reporter: animals are also at risk. this manatee was found choking on the blooms. >> it's pathetic, it really is, to sit there and see an animal just being poisoned to death, basically. >> reporter: florida governor rick scott declared a state of emergency in palm beach, lee, martin, and st. lucie counties. he blamed water released from lake okeechobee. the lake is filled with runoff containing fertilizers and human waste. the u.s. army corps of engineers have agreed to reduce the amount of runoff by 35%, but for residents like crystal, it's too little, too late. >> people on the treasure coast are going to be celebrating their independence at a movie or at a mall, instead of in the water, which is a total departure from what our lifestyle is. >> reporter: the smell is so bad, people are wearing masks to breathe and they're leaving their boats at the dock to avoid all of this muck. josh, it could be weeks before the algae is washed out. >> elliott: that is all just awful. omar villafranca, thank you. well, still to come here, your mileage may vary, along with how much you pay, with a new type of tax. pay with a new type of tax. you totaled your brand new car. nobody's hurt, but there will still be pain. it comes when your insurance company says they'll only pay three quarters of what it takes to replace it. what are you supposed to do?

hour's long standoff in the capital of bangladesh ended just a short time ago. we're learning that 20 hostages were killed, all of them foreigners. this started when a gunman seized the cafe a popular site in dhaka. >> 14 hostages were rescued as police stormed that restaurant a few hours ago. six attackers were killed. isis has claimed responsibility for the attack. u.s. officials are casting doubt on that. one said a gunman had 10 or 12 grenades during the standoff and the entire building was shaken in the explosion. i want to get to cnn international correspondent sumnima udas. she's got

were shot. we don't know the nationalities. it's not been revealed to us by officials. we do not know why they were killed, how they were killed when security personnel entered the restaurant it happened. also a big question, the prime minister of the country has said that 13 hostages have been rescued. three of them are believed to be foreigners. out of those three one is a japanese, two sri lankans. now, the japanese who has been rescued, he's been treated. he was injured but he's in a safe condition. he's believed to have been with seven other japanese colleagues in that restaurant at the time. we do not know the fate of those other seven japanese nationals. christi. >> sumnima, we had heard reports, and i'm wondering if you could clarify for us if there is indeed one of these terrorists, i suppose you would call them, that was captured that was not killed? do we know if that is the case? >> reporter: that's what the prime minister said in the press conference. that one of the terrorists has been captured, six of them were killed. now, that is -- that is hugely helpful, of course, for authorities in bangladesh, because that would give them some indication, of course, once they're able to question him, as to who's behind it, why they did it. of course, earlier on, when the police were trying to negotiate with them, we understand that the attackers had made no demands. so, we do not know who is behind it. of course, as you said, isis has claimed responsibility. they claimed responsibility very early on, pretty much an hour after that attack began. that hostage situation began. but very soon after, quite a few analysts and security officials in the united states have questioned that because isis really doesn't voluntary much of a presence in bangladesh. in fact, the government has long denied that isis is present in bangladesh. and in fact, al qaeda has more of a presence here. so, again, we do not know who's responsible. there have been a number of attacks in the past against individuals, bloggers, writers, intellectuals. minority groups. isis has claimed responsibility for that as well, but every time the government has denied that isis is actually present in bangladesh. >> sumnima udas, thank you. the siege lasted about 13 hours they entered the cafe with guns, explosives and this is their characterizations, a lot of sharp

taken hostage. >> my cousin actually has four inside being held hostage right now. we're very worried. you have to remember, this is also ramadan, this is the time when people go out to eat, especially on a friday night. so the restaurant would be more crowded than usual, i would think. >> reporter: the siege went on through the night, hour after hour, with no word what is happening inside the holey artisan bakery and then this. >> it woke me up. >> reporter: a gun battle followed by an eerie silence. that silence broken not long after by explosions as security forces swept the restaurant. the military said 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 or stabbed to death. isis claimed responsibility even before the siege ended but u.s. officials say there could be other players involved. >> what's happening in bangladesh is disturbing because effectively, it's become a battleground for the isis-affiliated group and the al qaeda-affiliated group. >> reporter: terror has struck dhaka in the past. secular bloggers and other writers have been hacked to death by islamic extremists. the government has launched a nationwide crackdown, but authorities haven't put a scar of this terror on bangladesh's soul before. >> i think we've seen a rise of radicalization lately. no one expected that to take place. >> reporter: andrew stevens, cnn. >> as far as the target of secular groups, an alarming frequency and bloodshed. >> there's been at least 35 hacking attacks in 14 months. this is according to the u.s. ambassador to bangladesh. of those, 23 have been claimed by terror groups. most of those are bloggers and those who go against islam. and this morning, we're also following developments in that terror attack in turkey. there are new details about the men who carried out a series of suicide attacks. >> the bombers, the three have been named. a man named akhmed one-arm. >> reporter: the men who orchestrated this horror, and unleashed it on istanbul's ataturk airport tuesday may now be known. the two of the suicide bombers who carried out the plot are now being named. it reports that they carried out the attacks. as for the man who directed the operation, u.s. officials tell cnn ahmed chatayev, an aisis operative from chechnya is likely to have carried out the plot. >> he travelled to syria. >> reporter: he is going by the nickname akhmed one-arm. >> he's missing one arm. used that, reportedly used that fact to argue when he went to europe to get refugee state tuesday. he said, i have been tortured by the russians. the u.s. placed him on the terrorist list just last year but he's been around for a long time. >> reporter: investigators are digging in, trying to find out more about the men running through the terminals, ravishing weapons and detonating bombs. >> translator: terror and terrorists do not have religion, do not have nations do not have a motherland. we are going to fight them with our soldiers, with our police and with our village guards. >> reporter: 24 people including 15 foreigners have now been detained according to turkish state media. police are also asking local residents about the security image showing the three men believed to be suspects. authorities told us they believe the three holed up for months in an apartment in istanbul. the three then, they say, came directly from raqqah. as the investigation unfolds, families are burying their loved ones. they knew isis all too well. his son joined the group as a medic last year. the family friend said he had been in istanbul to help negotiate his son's rescue from a terror group only to have extremists to take his life instead. there's a big problem that's bubbling up along the florida coast. what's causing a toxic green algae to bloom in the water. people say yes, it

that's why, as i said, i think it's important to talk about how this matter will be resolved. and how the review and determinations and decisions will be made. you know, i can say, as i have said, it's going to be handled by career people. and we can make an announcement as to what it is but unless some people have some insight into that process, they're not going to be able to evaluate that. >> attorney general lore rejeng lynch offering regret over her meeting with bill clinton as they investigate hillary clinton's use of a private e-mail server when she was secretary of state. but donald trump says he's not buying lynch's explanation that the meeting was purely social. >> to have a thing like that happen, it's so sad. as you know, hillary is so guilty. i think that he really -- i think he really opened it up. he opened up a pandora's box. and it shows what's going on. and it shows what's happening with our laws, and with our government. >> well, let's talk about it, we're joined by political editor for right alert.com. and scottie hughes and scott bolduan. we've got scott and scott. good morning. good morning. >> scott, let's start with you. the clintons have a very long history with loretta lynch, dating back to when bill clinton appointed lynch to the u.s. attorney position in 1999. considering now the shadow cast, to use the characterization by the attorney general yesterday, should she fully recuse herself from this investigation? >> no, probably not, actually. you know, bill clinton and loretta lynch go back a long way. they were both thinking socially and not politically. they weren't thinking about perceptions. and this happens all the time, at least in washington. lawyers and judges will communicate socially. it's not a ex parte communication unless you're talking ex parte about the investigation. certainly didn't make the case. or that wasn't the case here, loretta lynch fully disclosed. like any other investigation, she's going to listen to the fbi, listen to career prosecutors and the decision is going to be made. i think this is more the makings of the media or republicans who say, uh-huh, there's a piece of this with conspiracy with bill clinton. it happens, especially in washington. >> so bill clinton being bill clinton. scottie, let me come to you, donald trump tweeted does anybody really believe that meeting was just a coincidence? but we know he's had other meetings with senator cruz and arnold schwarzenegger. the optics are bad. could it have been one of those meeting? >> you could be right. however, the damage has already been done to the clinton campaign. this is very bad. remember hair dates from 1993, when bill clinton sat down on the tarmac for two hours. bill had to have better sense not to go own a plane with a woman who is investigating -- and by conflict resolution, also investigating him because it involves the clinton foundation. but the damage has already been done to the clinton campaign. people have confirmed a message that mr. trump has that you cannot trust the clintons. you cannot trust washington, d.c. even if you find wrongdoing, it's only going to be covered up by more wrongdoing. >> i'll stay with you, scottie. you say the damage has been done. senator korman called for a special conference in the case. he called for it before the meeting and after the tarmac meeting. has the investigation been tainted? so far whatever the outcome, those who believe that secretary clinton should be indicted will point to this meeting? >> absolutely. and let's remember, the only reason we're talking about this because one reporter defied the rules and actually came out and said, by the way, did you know bill clinton walked over and got on loretta lynch's plane. the only reason we're mentioning this. this wasn't on any sort of agenda. this was not previously announced. you're right, it's one of those, now, the damage has done and we're getting done to nitty-gritty. >> scott, go ahead. >> absolutely. you know, listen. i'm a former prosecutor, i've done these investigations. this is a nonstory. whatever mr. trump is talking about or my colleague scottie is talking about it's a hope and prayer. it's pure conjecture. this investigation that has been going on at least a year or two, there's nothing tainted about it because the husband who is the subject of that investigation had a social conversation. what happens wrong with that? it happens all the time. now, if you distrust bill clinton and you don't believe what the report said with the attorney general, maybe you don't want this to go away. maybe you don't want a decision until after the general election. again, that's all conjecture. career prosecutors and the fbi deal with facts. there's nothing wrong with this meeting other than the public perception. the media and republican critics are making more of it than ma is reality. >> final words in 20 seconds. >> it's interesting that you actually pointed out waiting until after the election. 48 hours on wednesday, the justice department filed a motion to not have any e-mails release until after the election. the timing, once again, just looks very conspicuous. >> mrs. clinton doesn't control that, neither does bill clinton. >> scott and scottie, thank you for being with us. if you support secretary clinton you will see nothing here. if you do not asupport here, you will likely see everything here. that pile is getting higher and higher each day. thank you both. christi. alrighty. is this a tough situation to have on the july 4th weekend

we're looking at there. and it isn't pretty, is it, when we talk about bloom? it's just blanketing several florida beaches which makes it impossible for any fourth of july plans to go for if you want to get in the water. cnn drones flew over all of this to give us this view. it looks nasty and they say it's dangerous at the beaches right now. >> and smells terrible. this famously pristine blue water, it's gone. several counties on the state's treasured coast are under states of emergency. a nonprofit group said the algae water is caused by unregulated pollution across the state. governor scott said it has more to do with limitations on water storage. >> alison chin jar is joining us now. do we have any indication how long it will stick around? >> honestly, guys, it would be the rest of the summer because there's a lot of factors that go into play here. let's take a look at the area of concern. notice, it's southern florida, i'm not talking about the panhandle of florida. martin county, st. lucia county, lee county and palm beach county. where the "w" is in west palm beach, that's lake okeechobee. you got the rivers that blowout wards. these counties are having the big issues. this is a lot of times all the way up to the beaches where people would go to spend their vacation there. the reason why, the breakdown of the algae blooms. take a look beneath me and this gives a breakdown. what awe have is urban runoff, things from holes, businesses, stuff like that. you as have the agricultural runoff, pesticides, fertilizers, things like that, also flowing down into this. the sun above heats all of that up and that is perfect fuel for a lot of these al jeez to really kind of build up in a lot of this area. again, this is why we're having a lot of these issues. the unfortunate part is even though they're starting to lower the amount of water that's being released out of lake okeechobee, it's a delayed effect. so you'll continue to have these problems for maybe another week or even several more months before this finally can clear back up along a lot of the beaches. guys, unfortunately, that's not good news. not just for the tourists but the people in the tourism communities that are relying on the money from the tourism. >> governor scott described it, just to give you an idea of what it is guacamole thick. you can match thin -- if you think about guacamole floating on the water. it's quite descriptive. >> alison shinjar, thank you so much. >> you think about this, think about the sea life. and that's one of the things i was thinking about. take a close look here, if you would, please. this screen. that is a manatee in the water there, obviously just trying to get to some sort of fresh water if it's remotely possible. it does seem that he's struggling. is this a canal here. there he is, and the fresh water that he's getting is from a garden hose. the man who shot this said the water is very thick and it smells like something died. >> we'll talk more about this throughout the morning. let's get back to the breaking news out of bangladesh. the bodies of 20 people outside of a cafe in that country's capital. plus, after the attack at this cafe and istanbul, we're talking more about targets on alert. we'll take a look at the ramped up security across the u.s. this weekend. >> what has been shown in brussel and istanbul is even if you fortify a soft target, there will always be another soft target. we heard three really large gunshots. they were like people saying that there was an attack on the restaurant. >> this neighborhood is one of the most, if not the most secure neighborhoods in dhaka. >> there was a huge bomb blast which we heard. >> it's a very posh neighborhood. it's always been very secure. everyone is stunned that something like this could happen here. welcome back, everybody. so glad to have you with us. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. 31 minutes after the hour. terror in a cafe. the standoff is now over. 20 people dead, all of them foreigners. this happened in dhaka, the capital of bangladesh, just a mile. and they targeted -- rather, they thought on friday, the holiest day of the week in islam. at a time when muslims would be breaking their fast for ramadan. six attackers were killed with one taken alive. >> let's go to tokyo, don, as you're watching this whole thing unfold. you know that isis has claimed responsibility. but officials, especially here in the u.s. have skepticism about that. and do you have that same skepticism and why? >> well, christi, it's interesting as to the potential culprits. because al qaeda, isis, they compete for the recruitment, resources, even the ability to orchestrate attacks. and in bangladesh, over the last year, they have been literally fighting hard with each other who can kill more in this very war, a game of terrorism. both have a presence in bangladesh, through affiliates, proxies that operate there. they've all carried out various attacks on a small scale. whoever has done it this time raised the scale substantially in terrorism. we'll have to wait and see. isis is claiming responsibility but that could be opportunistic. >> well, al qaeda -- if this is the work of al qaeda, wouldn't al qaeda want to claim responsibility? or, would they allow isis to claim responsibility, saying, okay, now the retaliation is on them? >> that's a really important point that you raised. ultimately if an al qaeda affiliate has carried out this attack and they feel that the lime light has been taken away by isis quickly trying to seize the narrative then al qaeda will come out very strongly to say they're behind this. it's interesting how isis claimed responsibility. they did it through their news agency. that tends to be used for the spontaneous attacks that take place. for example, the orlando nightclub shooting or the incident in france where the french police chief was killed. usually when isis claims responsibility they do it through a telegram to claim responsibility, not through amuck. >> we've had orlando, istanbul and now this, do these attacks inspire more attacks? is this what we should be expecting in the next several weeks, months, years? >> all of these attacks have taken place during ramadan. if we look at isis in particular, the head of their external operations, abu muhammad al hunan. in jordan and yemen, we know that isis have been trying to start as many terror attacks as it can and loses support in syria. almost as an act of desperation, they try to get it back by seizing the narrative. >> sajjan gohel, we appreciate you sharing that with us. check out the latest on our website cnn.com. two dozen people are now in police custody as investigators try to learn more about the istanbul attackers. turning to that attack. a russian terrorist has been identified as the man who carried out the attacks. ahmed chatayev has been tied to jihadist activities before but officials are not sure where he is now. 44 people were killed. another 230 injured. the attackers opened fire at the airport and detonated suicide vests. the attacks on the airport this week on istanbul in brussels, back in march, i should say, will be on people's minds as they pack up and catch their flights this weekend. but u.s. officials say security has improved the travel hub this year. this is the size of the security machine at the nation's busiest airport, atlanta. 178 armed police officers. that's just at hartsfield-jackson. o'hare, same number, along with 260 unarmed police. and at l.a.x., more than 570 officers assigned to that airport. the secretary of homeland security jeh johnson said security is beefed up all over the u.s. >> since brussels, we have enhanced security at airports around the nation, since the brussels attack in march. our tsa viper teams have been more visible at airports and at transit centers, generally. the american public should expect to see this july 4th weekend, enhanced security presence at airports. train stations and other transit centers across the country. >> and it's not just travel centers as well that you're going to see more security. clubs, stadiums, they're as well. >> we're into the holiday weekend. and we're taking a closer look at airport security following the recent terror attacks abroad. >> reporter: the threat to so-called soft target areas at airports make the long wait time seen across the country not only an inconvenience but a security concern. following the istanbul attack, some u.s. airports have ramped up security at their perimeter. in new york and new jersey, officers are equipped with tactical weapons. in miami and atlanta, there's an increased police presence. in the u.s., the department of homeland security is responsible for airport security check points. cnn has learned the agency has discussed options to expand its security reach. the idea is widening the security presence that could begin at the entrance or even the parking lot. but former dhs official juliette kayyem said that wouldn't be effective. >> certainly, you could extend security ten miles away from the airport and guess what, the vulnerability will be at mile 10.1. at some stage, we have to accept a level of vulnerability given the threat we have today. >> reporter: because istanbul's airport has several direct flight to the united states, dhs requires strict screening procedures. the head of tsa told cnn in may that if the rules are not followed, flights could be prohibited. how often do you check on these airports? >> if we have reason for concern, it can be ever week. or a place that you trust it can be less frequent than that. >> reporter: regardless of the standard and police presence, it's impossible to eliminate all airport vulnerabilities. rene marsh. cnn, washington. an internet is checking in with sarah gala. and listen to this, autopilot going terribly wrong. why

christina alessi has the details. and the questions being raised now. >> reporter: victor, christi, a cloud over autonomous driving. we've heard warnings about this type of driving and this makes it real. a person was making a turn in front of the tesla and the autopilot didn't recognize because of the bright color against the sky. the car slid under the trailer killing the driver. tesla is taking this of course seriously. expressing sadness. 40-year-old joshua brown died in the accident. he was a tesla enthusiasts. he made youtube videos of one driving the car. >> if you don't take control, the car starts to brake. i've done testing with that, and yes, it begins to abruptly slow down. >> tesla said it's the first fatality using autopilot. and also said drivers should keep their hands on the wheel at all times. tesla says it tells customer that it's beta, which means it's in development. experts are taking issue with the company. they're saying if the car has any kind of blind spot, drivers should not be allowed to use it especially at high speeds. it's one of the reasons, investigators are investigating the accident. and the main issue is that these features lull people into a false sense of security. it's easier to reach over and get something from the backseat or check your text messages really quickly. just to put this into context for the industry, the quest for self-driving cars has been a waste for tech companies and auto companies. they believe it will improve safely and reduce the number of deaths on the road. and by the way, they want to get people excited about buying new cars. in fact, the government is planning to release rules for testing autonomous vehicles on public roads just this summer. it's unclear how this accident will impact that process. christi, victor. >> thanks so much. we were watching that and tesla says you should keep your hands on the steering wheel during autopilot. the question is what is the point? i'm sure

commandos found the dead bodies of 20 hostages, all of them foreigners, all of them apparently hacked to death. this site is just a mile or so from the u.s. embassy. >> now, the numbers are preliminary, an official says at least 13 hostages were rescued after police stormed that restaurant to end the siege. six attackers were killed in the operation and isis has claimed responsibility for that attack. but the u.s. officials are casting doubt on that claim. we want to get to international correspondent sumnima udas who has the very latest. sumnima, can we talk about the reports that perhaps there is one of those terrorists who survived who may be in custody right now? >> reporter: that's right, that's what the prime minister of bangladesh has said that one of the terrorists survived. and that is hugely helpful for authorities, of course. because through that one terrorist, hopefully, they'll get more information as to who's responsible, who's behind it and why all of this happened. now, authorities have only been able to give us the facts in terms of death toll. 20 died. all of them foreigns, all killed with weapons of the hostages three were rescued. three of them foreigners. the rest were sri lankans. and what we've been hearing, eyewitnesses, witnesses there, a cafe worker who managed to escape as the gunmen were storming into that restaurant. they arrived with guns. they were shooting in the air, he said, but they did not kill anyone at that time. did not hit anyone. she just really wanted to instill fear in everyone. that's when everyone in the restaurant, a lot of the clients hid under tables. hid under chairs. the cafe worker managed escaped. here's how he described the scene. >> translator: when we got out they 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. we thought they were progressing forward. we thought it wasn't safe anymore and jumped from the roof. >> reporter: just gives you a sense of how fully armed they were. the cafe workers said they had explosives, gun, the military said they had .22s, low caliber rifles as well. >> when we get back to the claim of isis for this, what word have you heard that al qaeda could have been behind it or other entity? >> reporter: that's right, isis claimed responsibility pretty much hours after the siege began. the bangladesh prime minister has said that isis is not responsible. and authorities have said that in bangladesh. of course, we do not know at the moment, some u.s. officials and also analysts have doubted the claim that isis could be behind it and that's because isis really didn't have a large presence in bangladesh and the indian continent in general. al qaeda is much more active in this region. al qaeda has taken responsibility for quite a few of the attacks. bloggers and activists and writers that we've been talking about for the past years, more than 40 have died. isis has taken responsibility and al qaeda. every time isis has claimed responsibility, bangladesh authorities have denied their presence there. >> sumnima udas, grateful for to you make time for us. thank you for being here. >> again, the siege is over but it lasted about 13 hours. and police say the attackers entered this popular cafe armed with rifles, explosives and a lot of sharp weapons is their characterization. andrew stevens has more on what happened next. >> 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 and two shots fired in the air. and then i heard an explosion. >> reporter: the sounds of terror walking the streets of dhaka. gunmen targeting a cafe frequented by foreigners. some were lucky to escape. others were taken hostage. >> my cousin actually has four friends inside being held hostage right now. so it's very tense. we're very worried. you have to remember, it's also ramadan, this is the time when people go out to eat, especially on a friday night so the restaurant would have been more crowd 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 holey artisan bakery and then this. >> within five minutes they charged in. >> reporter: a gun battle followed by an eerie silence. that silence broken not long after by explosions as security forces swept the restaurant. the military say 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 or stabbed to death. isis claimed responsibility even before the siege had ended, but u.s. officials say there could be other players involved. >> what's happening in bangladesh is disturbing because effectively, it's become a battleground for the isis-affiliated group and the al qaeda-affiliated group. >> reporter: terror has struck dhaka in the past. secular bloggers and minority religious leaders have been hacked to death by islamic extremists. the government recently launched a nationwide crackdown. but authorities haven't placed anything like the scale of this terror on bangladesh's soil before. >> i think we are seeing a rise in radicalism in this country. and no one really expects to see something like that take place. >> reporter: andrew stevens, cnn. >> now, one of the victims as we get this new information is just coming in. a woman, 19 years old. a student at berkeley, she was from india. according to a tweet from israel's internal affairs they have confirmed that as one of the victims who died in the attack. extremists are targeting secular minority groups as you heard from andrew with alarming frequency leaving behind a trail of bloodshed. there have been at least 35 hacking attacks carried not bangladesh in at least 14 months. that's according to the u.s. ambassador to bangladesh. of those, 23 attacks have been claimed by islamic terror groups. reports of hacking deaths go back to 2013. those targeting bloggers and those asked going against islam. and turkish media is this morning now naming the three suicide bombers who launched an assault on the istanbul airport earlier this week. >> now, the investigation is focusing on a man nicknamed akhmed one-arm. a lieutenant who may have planned the attack. cnn international correspondent ivan watson has that story. >> reporter: investigators are focused on who trained and equipped the three bombers, apparently seen here exiting a taxi at the airport. as well as who may have planned their deadly attack. officials say they now believe this man, ahmed chatayev a well-known lieutenant may have coordinated the assault on the ataturk airport. chatayev whose nickname is one arm. >> he's probably the number one terrorist in russia. >> reporter: today, quoting an anonymous source named two of the terrorists rakim bulgarov and vadim osmanov. investigators are fanning out showing this photograph to the people in the area where the man rented an apartment. investigators have now detained more than 20 people in connection with the attack. meantime, tonight, as turkey continues to mourn, the prime minister of this majority muslim country is insisting the attackers betrayed their faith. >> translator: they were, if you kill one person it's equal to killing the full population the world. whether women, children or elderly people. they indiscriminately kill people who are innocent people, they don't have the right to do this. >> ivan watson reporting for us there from istanbul. well, new york police are going to be stepping up patrols at macy's annual fourth of july celebration. but we're stressing there are no credible threats to that. they're just adding extra officers, security check points for the hundreds of thousands expected to show up for monday's event. coming up in the next half hour, we're going to take you live to new york's penn station how officials are placing security at places of mass transit and soft targets. listen to

something that's not so amazing to look at. slimy, green, toxic algae plaguing florida's beaches. completely stopping fourth of july plans for some tourists and starting a state of emergency. our jennifer gray is there. >> reporter: yeah, victor, a state of emergency because of this algae, blue, green algae across several counties across florida. we'll have an update coming up. ♪ i don't want

on the water. the stench so bad, people avoiding going outside. marine life suffocating here in the thick blanket of the sludge. you can see a manatee here peek up, you can imagine how difficult it is to get that head through. >> thanks to whoever it was that left that hose running over the side there for that manatee. >> yes. >> the sea life is something that a lot of people are concerned with. you have to wonder we've got gotten anywhere. and we'll have to check on it, as to whether they're going to be doing anything, certainly, they can clean some of that up and scrape it off the top in some areas. >> you have to imagine they can. you luke at that manatee, there are so many regulations in florida, and rightfully so, to protect the manatee, you hope they can scoop some of this off. >> not just the manatees, but the other sea life. cnn's drone flew over to give us a look at this from above these blooms. it's nasty, it's dangerous at the beaches. as victor says it does not smell good. several counties along the state's treasured coast are under states of emergency. take a look. we've got a map here in a couple minutes but these are the kind of things impacted by toxic levels. and these are toxic. cnn's meteorologist jennifer gray is in florida. help us understand what it's like for you, as you stand over there? >> well, it smells horrible, for one. like you said, guacamole. that's actually a really good description. i'm going to stir it up a little bit so you can get a better idea of what we're dealing with. this is extremely thick. you're talking about that manatee. some of this algae stretches all the way through the entire water column. some of this is not on the surface. it's actually through the entire water column. this is not a problem that impacts just the fourth of july. this has been going on since 2002. this is a water management issue. they have to regulate lake okeechobee, especially getting ready for the rainy season. to have to do that, they have to discharge a lot of water. and they're discharging it into the rivers, into the canals and eventually out into the ocean. unfortunately with that water comes not only algae blooms within lake okeechobee. you have agriculture from industries, urban runoff. so there's a lot in the water that is causing these ali blooms. now, boaters did buy out a lot of land south of lake okeechobee. it has but nothing has been done. so far, it's become a political issue across the state many of the canals and rivers look just like this. now, a lot of it is not getting out to the beaches. we don't want to let people think all the beaches if floor are green. they're not. there has been a little algae stretched on the beaches. people are going out there. they're testing it. not all the algae blooms are toxic, they're testing to see which ones are. if they are toxic, they're closing those beaches. not what you want to hear. guys, it's a huge problem not only for the fishing industry, a $5 billion for recreation. but the tourist industry that florida relies heavily on, $70 billion industry. this is the last thing you want. like you're talking about that manatee, of course, it's suffocating the fish with oxygen and sunlight that can get through the algae blooms. this story has so many layers, guys. it's just a terrible problem for this beautiful state. >> we appreciate it. listen, just into cnn. getting new developments here in the search for what brought down that egyptair flight the committee investigating it says the cockpit voice recorder is in good enough condition for them to decipher what data is on it. it was put back together in france. it's on its way back to egypt for analysis. information from the flight data recorder released earlier this week indicated possible smoke in the front of the plane for the flight 804 that plunged into the mediterranean that killed all 66 people on board. attorney general loretta lynch says she regrets meeting with bill clinton. why she says the meet will go not affect the decision on whether to file charges against his wife in connection with the private e-mail server. plus, speculation ramping up over who donald trump will choose to be his running mate. but there is one noticeable name that's not on the short list. they call themselves the never hash tag -- okay -- well -- well -- i just call them republicans against trump. or r.a.t. -- for short. what are you doing? getting faster. huh? detecting threats faster, responding faster, recovering faster. when your security's built in not just bolted on, and you protect the data and not just the perimeter, you get faster. wow, speed kills. systems open to all, but closed to intruders. trusted by 8 of 10 of the world's largest banks. glad forceflex. extra strong to avoid rips and tears. be happy, it's glad. attorney general loretta lynch says she regrets meeting with former president bill clinton while speaking at the idea festival. that's when she said it. she's vowing to take the fbi's advice and also advice over the career prosecutor in her department over whether charges should be filed on hillary clinton during secretary of state. chris frates is following the investigation. what you have learned? >> thank you, victor. good morning. you're exactly right, loretta lynch saying she's going to accept the investigation of both the fbi and career per prosecutors for this case of whether or not to bring charges against hillary clinton for her use of that infamous private e-mail server back when she was secretary of state. it's important to remember that lynch came under a lot of fire this week when she met with bill clinton in phoenix while both they're planes sat on the tarmac at the airport. republicans immediately jumped on that meeting that it's clear that lynch had a conflict of interest and couldn't possibly be impartial. but lynch saying that bill clinton's visit was simply a social call. >> so, you would be well within your right to say get off my plane? what are you doing here? do you regret not telling the former president of the united states to leave the premises? >> okay. so, as i said, i may be viewed in a certain light but the issue is how does it impact the work that i do at the department of justice does and i certainly wouldn't do it again because i think it has cast a shadow so far what it should not. so far what it will not touch. >> the attorney general said she decided months ago to defer the accusations. donald trump pouncing on this, mocking the explanation that bill clinton and loretta lynch happened to run into some people. >> you're kidding. i thought somebody was joking. it's not a joke. it's not a joke. it's a very serious thing, and to have a thing like that happen, it's so sad. as you know, hillary is so guilty. she's so guilty, you can read them right off. >> this episode, victor, allows trump to hit clinton where she's vulnerable. >> let's ask the question that others are asking here, bill clinton's impact positive or negative on the clinton campaign? there have been a couple of what some would call missteps so far, of course the meeting with loretta lynch. the verbal altercation with the black lives matter protester. bill clinton accused bernie sanders of running a dishonest campaign. there was a lot of controversy surrounding that statement. what's the impact thus far? >> this is a lot of what the clinton folks say bill clinton being bill clinton and this is the good and bad that you get with that. in fact, there's talk that maybe he should be fully staffed at this point. maybe if a staff were with him, maybe they would have said, mr. president, maybe it's not very good to go make a visit to the department whose department is investigating your wife's e-mail usage. that being said, there are a lot of controversies as you just pointed out, victor. and i want to get back to that one back in february, where essentially bill clinton argued that bernie sanders was being sexist. he took a lost heat for those sharp charges. and i want to tell you what he said after that. it's important to remember, he said this, quote, the hotter this election gets the more i wish i was just a former president and just for a few months not the spouse of the next one. i have to be careful what i say. bill clinton even there saying sometimes he gets ahead of himself, he gets a little heated and he needs to watch that. certainly, the clinton campaign still believes he's a positive when the optics aren't so great. chris, thanks a lot. well, 20 hostages have

blueapron.com/cook. so glad to be sharing the morning with you. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. good to be with you. terror in bangladesh. the standoff is over but 20 people dead. all of them foreigners. at least 13 hostages were rescued. this happened in dhaka, the capital of bangladesh, just a mile from the u.s. embassy. seven terrorists attacked a bakery there using weapons, rifles. six attackers were killed, one taken alive. so a lot of information potentially can be gotten from that one survivor. isis has claimed responsibility for the attack. but officials have cast doubt on that claim. >> we're joined now on the phone by james gig yaliardi. a former ambassador to bangladesh. when you heard of where it was, because you're familiar with that area, what did you think? >> well, i was obviously saddened but in a way i wasn't totally surprised in the sense that the terrorists have been looking to up their game. and i think a lot of people who look at the situation in bangladesh closely are expecting a more spectacular attack. and this obviously can be that. >> the bangladesh government, at one point, blamed an opposition party. they are denying that isis exists in that country. do you believe that there are factions of isis in bangladesh and that they could have pulled this off? >> i believe that there are people who clearly have affiliation with isis in bangladesh. whether that means they've gone off to syria or iraq to fight in the isis cause there, or whether they're doing this by internet with friends overseas, i'm not clear. i don't have that degree of knowledge. but i think it's kind of hard to say that people-o that there aren't a small number of people there who follow the isis ideology and support isis. >> we're getting word this morning, some new information from the bangladesh military that all of the 20 people killed are foreigners. do you believe those 20 were intentionally targeted? >> absolutely. and i think that the terrorists were trying to send two messages. one was to the people of bangladesh who are predominantly muslim but are predominantly nonextreme in their views. i think the message they want to send to the people of bangladesh, look, they're muslims. we dent kill good muslims remember that. remember the definition of a good muslim. the second is to the people outside of bangladesh and countries which support it which is, look, the government of bangladesh is ineffective. and sending two messages out there targeting foreigners. >> you just said something i want to ask you about. because when you look at the history here, just in the last 14 months. at least 35 hacking attacks have happened there in bangladesh. 23 were claimed by islamic terror groups. do you have confidence in the bangladesh government and the military and authorities there to get a handle on that? >> well, i think they're in for a long tough slog. again, the encouraging thing about bangladesh is up until now, the terrorists are swimming against the sea. there isn't a lot of support for them within the populous at all. the idea is can they play off of that and use that effectively for the 160 million pairs of eyes in bangladesh to get a better handle on the situation. but until now, i think partly it's because they've been distracted by their own belief that this is being sponsored by opposition political parties. up till now, they haven't really come up with credible evidence for that. so, i would hope more concentration on the part of the government might be for better results. they took care of pretty effectively of a terrorist back in the last decade. and the question is, can they do it with these very different groups they're facing now. >> all right. former u.s. ambassador to bangladesh. we appreciate your time. thank you for being here. >> let's also bring in on the phone, the editor in chief of the dhaka tribune and lives just across the street from the bakery that was attacked. jaffa, first, because of your position there just across the street, were you at home at the time of the attack? are you there now? can you tell us what you're seeing? >> sure. i live at home. at the time i'm at my office now. i wasn't able to get out of my home and go to the restaurant, because the moment it happened we were under lockdown. but very close and aware of what was happening. i also have my forces there on the ground coordinating. you know, kind of a crisis there of what was a good understanding of what was going on. >> a good understanding, jafar, i know one of the questions that you're trying to get an answer to and we are as most news agencies how this went on, why this went on for 13 hours. have you gotten any insight into that? >> no, i mean that still remains the most baffling part of this. is that it started like 8:00-ish, 9:00-ish last night. and no real explanation why it lasted that long. right now, the authorizes are keeping it tight to the chest as to why they're keeping that. but over the next day or days they'll be more forthcoming. and a lot of this information as to the details of the operation and why they made the decisions they made will come out. i think that saying that they wanted to make sure that they got everything just right. they wanted to coordinate all of the various agencies who are involved, getting together. nevertheless, it certainly seems to me, and for many people, that that was an excessive period of time. and people asking the question, you know, had they gone in earlier, would more lives have been able to be saved? >> yeah, certainly a question that you have, that we have. understandably, the question is at this point keeping those details out of the public, hopefully we get those soon. thank you for joining us to answer just a couple of questions about the investigation moving forward. and a really disturbing news coming outside of rio this week. body parts washing up on the beach. couple that with the zika virus, falling buildings and of course, rio being the home to the next olympics, makes a lot of people wonder, are they going to be able to pull you have the the big games? i had so many thoughts once i left the hospital after a dvt blood clot. what about my wife... ...what we're building together... ...and could this happen again? i was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me? i spoke to my doctor and she told me about eliquis. eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. not only does eliquis treat dvt and pe blood clots. but eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. knowing eliquis had both... ...turned around my thinking. don't stop eliquis unless you doctor tells you to. eliquis can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. 41 minutes past the hour. and the race is on to see who finishes first when it comes to being donald trump's number two. >> names like chris christie, newt gingrich has been on the rumored short list and now governor mike pence should be pushing those two aside. trump and pence are scheduled to meet this week. eugene scott is following the story. what do we know, eugene, about this tense trump meeting? >> well what we know, it is indiana. and pence has been a long time friend of trump and that is an increasing possibility. pence has big decisions to make really soon with regards to what he's going to do with regards to politics and it has to happen in the next couple of weeks. >> correct me if i'm wrong, this is a courtesy to meet with governor pence. is he really a contender in this fist fight? >> it seems like he really could be. i mean, had has to decide whether or not he's going to run for governor or vice president very soon. trump is going to have a fund-raiser in indiana in the next couple of weeks. pence have been hard concerned about trump and jobs being shipped elsewhere. i think that is known that pen endorsed ted cruz and pence has been vocal about his desire to get on board since then. >> let's put up the slate of possibilities for donald trump as he chooses his number two. the first thing we've learned just over the last couple of days, eugene, is that the announcement won't come at the convention. we think it will happen before the convention. any idea why it's happening before the convention? >> well there has been, you know, quite a bit of dissatisfaction on the republican side with donald trump. and ai think the campaign is hoping to stir up excitement and interest in the campaign. and perhaps if someone can get on board who has more favorable ratings with voters. then trump would have greater interest. and also it will be just more -- another avenue, issue to keep people engaged. >> yeah. >> to know who the next candidate can be. the next vice presidential candidate. >> could offer a fund-raising boost as well. >> sure. as you know, dismal numbers came out of there. let's put the faces back up. the baseball cards. governor chris christie, former speaker newt gingrich. they each have their pros and cons here. >> sure. >> detail them for us. >> well, yeah, i think the most important across the board for the trump campaign is that they all are more familiar with washington politics than donald trump which is what he really, really needs. you know, former speaker gingrich has a lot of experience working on the hill. deeply entrenched in washington politics. but, he's not as popular with a lot of republicans and certainly democrats, as the trump campaign would certainly hope. but i think he can give it the experience that it definitely needs. mike pence is say new voice who is a cheerleader for evangelicals that trump is convinced he can get their ideas and values if especially elected and governor christie has been very loyal to trump after very early exiting the race himself. and he has significant experience. even though most of his time has been in new jersey as a former head of the republican governors association, he's just very familiar with how washington works. he, although, had some issues in terms of temperament as well which has been a common critique of donald trump. >> yeah. and there's also the geographic question of what does a new jersey governor bring to a new yorker whose on top of the ticket. at least we've got georgia there, newt gingrich in indiana from pence. is there one candidate who has the edge over the other two? >> the thought is its christie. christie has been very involved with the campaign since early on. has helped draft speeches. and even a long-term friend of donald trump. and we've seen them get increasingly closer. their relationship. he's spent quite a bit of time at trump tower. he's spent a lot of time at fund-raising, campaigning and helping to get people on board. the trump campaign who has been more reluctant from the establishment side. the reality is, we still don't know, there's still time and it looks like the final decision has not yet been made. >> and we know donald trump says he wants somebody who can know the innerworkings of congress. eugene scott, thank you. two deadly attacks in three days. what authorities are doing to try to get things under control now. this one here behind me, fixed closures. they're using dirt to block a road. all of this after a series of attacks and sharp uptick in violence including the

in her home thursday morning. the teen's uncle, as you can imagine says that her mother is just devastated. >> i was just crying and crying, that she was crying. and i did not hear any blame from her or anger, but she is just completely devastated, as any mother would be. i was devastated, and everybody in the family is just shocked. >> kind of going numb in the moments, and oren is joining us from jerusalem, abthese are very e emotional stories, and are you getting a sense of how the authorities are are trying to get some of this under control? >>le with, we have seen a number of measures and i want to correct you, i'm outside of hebron and this is the focus of the uptick of the violence and that is why we are here. some of the measures are right here, a closure in and around the city of hebron and some are fixed gates hike this closed this morn, and others are the israeli bulldozers to be covering the roads and make it difficult, and this is part of what the israeli government is going to prevent this surge and uptick of violence that started thursday morning. one other measure is sending the battalion into west bank to stop it here. this is when the palestinian teenager here broke into the settlement of a home here in the settlement and stabbed a 13-year-old american israeli girl to death in her sleep. the teenager was also killed by a security guards who came to the scene, and another security guard there stabbed in the fight. that began as hundreds attended in the funeral and condemnation from the americans and the brits and the israelis and others, and it did not end there, because we are enter iing the the end of ramadan, and at a time of tension with the israeli rerestrictionsf who is allowed to the travel from the west bank to the holy sites to pray. and also a relative of the extended family of the attacker from a day earlier was kill when a israeli military member said she tried to stab somebody at the site holy to both jews and israelis. and then a father in his car was killed with two of the children in the car taken to the hospital as well, and one palestinian man died after inhaling tear gas when he went to jerusalem to pray. and the military is using measures like closing off these roads, and putting in more battalions to try to put an end to the surge of the uptick of violence. it is saturday now, so it is quieter, and we will see where this goes. thank you, oren liebermann are from hebron, and we have three more days of ramadan. debt, pollution, the zika violence and that is just the beginning of the curse of what is the

>> well, it is quite interesting, because on the one hand there is this sense that no matter what happened, the gams s are going to go ahead and the government will scramble together at the last-minute to ensure that it happens. remember that rio is fairly familiar with putting on these types of big events, and they had the world cup, and they've had the things that they have dealt with every year on the regular basis, so you have that, but at the same time, you have all sorts of problems that have been plaguing these games with this mad rush to try to finish some of the venues on time, and issues with getting the subway up and running, and all sorts of challenges that they are having with the infrastructure, and at the foremost of everybody's mind is of course security, and this is not necessarily terrorism-related security per se, but much more the issue that the city is constantly dealing with when it comes to the various different criminal gang s. we have already had a number of robberies taking place, and most rekre recently the national german broadcaster had two of their massive trucks carrying most of the camera equipment to the main even you, and they were stopped on the road, and their driver was forced to divert elsewhere, and the containers were later found empty the of course, and so you have a growing list of pr problems ahead of what is really meant to be a source of pride for this country, and what is most difficult for brazilians at this stage is that when the country first won the olympic games there was so much pride and optimism that the games would bring about real fundamental changes especially for the people who need it most, and none of that has materialized. >> okay. we want to look back at some of the other games that have been plagued in the past, and you bringing up problems that is not unheard of by any means. rewind eight years to the beijing olympic, it was severe pollution, and in london the main issue was security and recruits were having trouble spotting bombs in x-ray screenings, and then in sochi, they ran into things such as the human rights issues with the russian government, and clearly other games have had their fair share of issues, but what is the government there saying about their ability to handle whatever comes their way? >> well, the government is continuing to put forward this confident face saying that these games will be a success and that all of the various issues that they have will be overcome. they say that things like the water pollution for example, the levels are not nearly as bad what is being reported. they say that the waters are in fact safe for the athletes, and well, speak to the athletes, and they don't want to end up accidentally drinking any of the waters. and you an issue of the macro bacteria existing in some of the main areas where the water and sporting events are taking place, and sure, every single olympic games is plagued with its own set of problems, but people will say it is not going to excuse the fact that brazil has its own issues at this stage, especially because the government made so many promises years ago when they put their bid in for the olympic games, and ask the brazilians and they will tell you that none of them have materialized and the various layers of the governance here are use olympic games for their own political gain at this stage. >> thank you, arwa damon, for bringing so much of it to light for us. a new hour of "new day" begins right now. cnn, breaking news. we heard gunshots, and then people were saying there was an attack of a restaurant. >> this neighborhood is one of the most if not the most secure neighborhood. >> there was a huge blast. >> and it is a posh neighborhood and everybody is just stunned that something like this couldp happen here. >> always grateful to have your company with us on a saturday morning. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. and we are beginning with the breaking news of an hour's long hostage standoff which has ended in a police raid overnight. in the aftermath, the commandos found the bodies of 20 hostages and all of them apparently hacked to death. this began when a gunman seized a cafe popular with westerners, and this is about a mile are from the embassy. >> and this is what we are hearing, an army official says that 13 hostages were rescued after police stormed the restaurant to end the siege. isis has claimed are responsibility for the terror attack, and if true, it is the second deadliest attack of terror this week attributed to isis. >> and over to turkey, as we are getting more information about the attackers from the istanbul. it is likely that ahmkhmed chatayev is behind the attack. we go for a report. >> we don't know from the authorities that all of the stude students are foreign nationals, but we do know that there is one that is a student are from berkeley, and there are three japanese nationals, and two of them are sri lankan and not much is known as to how much all of this unfolded. it is a 12-hour long siege. the only people who have really been talking about how this happened and what they saw are the witnesses there, and a cafe worker who managed to escape pretty much as the gunman stormed in, and he said that as the gunman came in, they had guns and shooting in the air, but they weren't shooting at anyone or hitting anyone, and they just really wanted to instill fear in the restaurant. that is when the clients there ended up hiding underneath tables and chairs, and here is what the cafe worker had to the 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 bombsb and they kept throwing and throwing and felt like they were progress ing forward. so when we felt that they were progressing forward we thought that it was not safe anymore, and so we jumped from the roof. >> reporter: it is a sense of how fully armed an vicious the at tackers were and not only guns and explosives, but ak-22s and local ber -- low caliber rifles and they were shouting god is great in arabic. >> and now, let me ask you about the claim that this is isis, and we have many intelligence who are casting doubt on this, and flush that out for us, and why? >> well, that is right. isis claimed are responsibility as soon as the hostage crisis began many hours afterwards and soon some officials were questioning that i sag that isis does not have a much of a presence in bangladesh or the subcontinent in general, and they mentioned that al qaeda is much more involved in bangladesh, and in fact, one of the local militant groups are linked to al qaeda and they have claimed responsibility for at lot of the attacks in bangladesh against the individuals, and against writers and intellectuals and blogers in the past. so many people questioning this isis responsibility and a claim of responsibility including the bangladeshi government. victor. >> thank you, sumi. this is what we know about the terror groups in bangladesh. isis has had follower s s in th country since 2014. and according to the "sentinel" they said that they have been there since declaring the caliphate. and then they started a wave of bombs on shiites and hindus and foreigners and places of worship, but they say that extremists with links to al qaeda and a group called atb emerged in to 14 and the group also operates under ansar al hasam. i want to bring in senior foreign analyst tom fuentes in here. and tom, some claiming responsibility by isis, but some u.s. authorities are skeptical, and are you believing that this is isis? >> good morning, christi. this has hall marks of many groups. and just because one group, al qaeda and others have done and at tack in the past, it does not mean they won't change slight sli. isis uses firearms and expl explosives and killed many people, and the al qaeda attacks from four different al qaeda-based groups in bangladesh have typically hacked their people to death in a individual basis and about 40 people in the last year and a half in bangladesh, so you have both. firearms, explosives and hacking the hostages to death, and there is unconfirmed reports that the hostage takers let the locals out, that they let the locals out, and that they were not necessarily rescues, and hacked to death the foreigners, and anybody who was not, that they considered a foreigner, they murdered and hack ed them to death. and isis has typically tone the firearms and the explosives and al qaeda has typically done the hacking to people to death in bangladesh, and in this case, you both. >> i want to confirm that we do know that we got word this morning that all 20 of the hostages dead are indeed, as you are saying, are foreigners. and now, we have gotten word that one survived and is custody of the attacker, and what do you know about him, and the li likelihood to tell the authorities the information that they may need to know? >> well, that is a good question, because we don't know how hard core this person is, and the circumstances of the capture, and if he was captured or maybe seriously injured and may still die, and we just don't know all of that at this point, and hopefully in good enough shape to talk about it, and hopefully, they will have, you know, not because of the torture, but because enough skill in the interrogation the find out who he is, and where he is from, and what inspired him, but again, you know, when the terrorists are inspired by what they see in the media and over to the internet and the social media in bangladesh, you have both messages. you have isis and the prolific global messaging going out to kill anybody, and you have the takeover of a restaurant similar to the takeover of the coffee shop in sydney, australia, a year ago and the hostages were rescue and that was shooting the hostages instead of stabbing them to death, so we have to see if this particular person is capture and if that is a true story if he is going to relate the story of why he did it. >> and so we have seen orlando, and istanbul, and now banglad h bangladesh, and all of it happening of course in ramadan and today is the 27th day which is a sacred and holy day to ramadan and three days left, and are we to assume then, tom, perhaps the violence will de-escalate three days from now once ramadan is over? >> it is hard to predict. it could, and it is not uncommon during every year in ramadan to have an increase in the attacks, but, you know, we don't know, because the attacks are going on year-round and in bangladesh, isis has killed about 25 people in the last 818 month, and al qaeda has killed half that many. in those attacks, it was not based on the holiday or a certain day, but happened on the their choosing and we can see it now based on ramadan and we have often placed a lot of emphasis on the holidays on their c calendar, it may not be necessarily what drives it other than isis messaging going worldwide has said to the followers increase the attacks and do it now during ramadan. >> right. tom fuentes, your expertise is always appreciated. thank you for taking the time to be with us. >> thank you, christi. >> we are seeing the ripple effects of terror around the world, and back here in the u.s., the law enforcement is stepping up security at events around the nation on fourth of july weekend, and among the added precautions like extra police on the street, and many of them you won't see. sara ganim is following that the story and at penn station. many events around new york city is expected to draw hundreds of thousands of people, and security is going to be tight. >> that is right, victor. security will be tight across the country in major cities, because people are from chicago to washington to right here in new york are going to be celebrating the fourth of july holiday mostly at events. now, in all three of the cities, and in large cities across the k country people travelers will see exthe tra police presness, and they will see the police in tactical gear, and the bomb-sniffing dogs that frankly as a traveler myself, they can be scary, but they should actually reassure travelers, experts tell us, especially in the wake of the two attacks in the past week. one at the airport in istanbul, and the other at a cafe yesterday in bangladesh, and both are soft targets like this one here at penn station. the soft target, of course, victor, it is a place that does not have a secure perimeter the around it, and cafes, and places of travel like a train station here, and also the perimeter around an airport before you go through security after seeing the two attacks at airports in the past three months, it is on people's minds when they are going for the holiday weekend, and where they don't want to feel the stress or the extra stress of thinking that i'm in an area that is secure which is where this stepped up police presence is coming from. and this is a busy weekend and aaa is predicting 43 million people are going to be traveling this weekend in cities across the country, and the police chiefs are saying that are there are no credible threats, but the homeland secretary jai jeh john saying that they are going to take the extra precautions, and people should still enjoy the holiday weekend, but always of course be alert, victor. >> all right. thank you, sara ganim there at penn station. there is go ing to be some security that you will see and some that you do not. >> and there is an issue bubbling up along the florida coast, and people aring asking, what is causing this. look at this. this is a toxic green algae that is blooming on top of the water. what does it mean for the people going to the beaches and what does it mean for the sea life underneath it? and plus, donald trump attacks hillary clinton for the meeting of bill clinton with the secretary-general. is he doing his wife more harm than good? has been a struggle. i considered all my options with my doctor, who recommended once-daily toujeo®. now i'm on the path to better blood sugar control. toujeo® is a long-acting insulin from the makers of lantus®. it releases slowly, providing consistent insulin levels for a full 24 hours, proven full 24-hour blood sugar control, and significant a1c reduction. and along with toujeo®, i'm eating better and moving more. toujeo® is a long-acting, man-made insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. it contains 3 times as much insulin in 1 milliliter as standard insulin. don't use toujeo® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you're allergic to insulin. allergic reaction may occur and may be life threatening. don't reuse needles or share insulin pens, even if the needle has been changed. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which can be serious and life threatening. it may cause shaking, sweating, fast heartbeat, and blurred vision. check your blood sugar levels daily while using toujeo®. injection site reactions may occur. don't change your dose or type of insulin without talking to your doctor. tell your doctor if you take other medicines and about all your medical conditions. insulins, including toujeo®, in combination with tzds (thiazolidinediones) may cause serious side effects like heart failure that can lead to death, even if you've never had heart failure before. don't dilute or mix toujeo® with other insulins or solutions as it may not work as intended and you may lose blood sugar control, which could be serious. toujeo® helps me stay on track with my blood sugar. ask your doctor about toujeo®. i am viewing it in a d different light, but how does it impact the work that i do and the department of justice does, and i certainly would not do it again. and because i believe it has cast a shadow offwhat it should not and what it will not touch. >> that is attorney general loretta lynch saying, yes, it was an mistake to meet with former president clinton on the tarmac in the investigation of his wife hillary clinton and the private server implications while secretary of state. and now, looking at the fallout, we will be joined by trump supporter, and hillary suppo supporter, and good to have you both back. >> good to be here. >> and let me start with you, amy. is this enough of what you heard from the attorney general, should she fully recuse herself from this, or do you buy what she says that it was her intention before this happened to accept fully the recommendations of the the career prosecutors and the fbi? >> i would hope she would do that, but the reason she made this statement is because of the predicament she is. and i believe she should recuse herself at this point, because it is a huge conflict of interest, and i don't know how that happened with the two of them. they are both attorneys. how did that happen? >> and let me bring that to you, because so many people have questioned the attorney general, and what was she thinking, and the former president, and although had the meetings before on a plane of the tarmac, and he knows the optics and how it will be receive and what was he thinking? >> well, the thing here that we have to be calling it what it was, and it is really a cordial meeting between old friends, and let's not forget -- >> a mistake though. >> and i will get to that, but it is a mistake in reregards of the optics at a time when you are entrenched in a heated political campaign with the pres presumptive nominee on the republican side, it definitely p presents a problem with the optics, but one thing of that i was proud of loretta lynch, attorney general loretta lynch, she said, i regret it and i would not do it again. this is a woman who had a smooth and fast process in being confirmed by a republican-led u.s. senate, and so, has zero history of impropriety and big person on integrity and ethnic thick, and again it is president clin ton being president clinton and when he sees an old friend and he wants to say hello, and it is a problem. >> and he has done it with orrin hatch, and speak e of the house paul ryan, and others, and if it is coming off of the plane, he walks up. >> i agree with you, tharon that that at least she came out to admit it, and not many times politicians will do that, because they will back pedal or put spin, but the whole thing is that they are above the law, and the powerful elite, and they get special treatment, and things that apply to us don't apply to them, and that is what people are fed up with, and it comes back to the trust issue. >> good segue, and let's listen to what donald trump had to say about this, and play it. >> when i first heard the story, i said, no no, you are kidding, and i thought that somebody was joking, but they are not. it is not a joke, and it is a serious thing, and to have a thing like that to happen is so sad. as you know, hillary is so guilty, and so guilty, and i mean, you can read them right off here. >> and here is the question that some have asked and we have explored it a little bit this morning, and is president clinton at this point considering what he has been involved if in for the last couple of months up to to a year a liability in some respects to the campaign? we will put it up on the screen and i don't have to read through them, but your response to the perception? >> he is absolutely not a liability, and remember that president clinton is still a popular democrat amongst the democrats across the country, and extremely popular with the independent, and he is a tremendous asset to the campaign, because at that particular point where two candidates are going to have a conversation with the american people, president clinton is going to be able to remind people of the clinton years with the booming middle-class and the economy that is very, very stable, and president clinton is one of the best politicians there is, and he can go into the room, and really make people feel comfortable about his wife, a and there is nobody who wants president clinton to be president more than bill clinton. >> and there was a question that she was asked about tsa workers who wear what she called the heebie jabis, and trump said we need to look into thisle policy-wise and was it imappropriate for him to let that go on the campaign trail after what we saw from john mccain back in 2008 when somebody said that the president is the muslim and he stopped them and he said, no, he is not. >> and first of all, donald trump is not politically correc correct, and we all know that, and this campaign is not the usual campaign, but you can't control what people say. >> but what he does, and should ve corrected her? >> well, i don't know, i don't know what he should have done there, and he answered the question, and i know that he is concerned about the veterans, and that is what she was talking about the veteran, and putting the veterans to work for the tsa i believe. so that is what she was talking about and i think that is what he was referring to and -- >> that is the political side, but as it relates to policy, is donald trump, and should donald trump be looking at replacing muslims who work for the tsa? >> i think that donald trump is looking at securing our borders right now. >> should that be one of the -- >> well, i want to be safe, and that what most people across this country want is for our families and our homeland to be safe. that is what everybody is concerned about. >> all right. ten seconds there, and we have to go, tharon. >> okay. >> no, no, this is another opportunity where donald trump flip-flops, and one time comes out to say i won't ban all muslims, but some, and missed an opportunity here to pushback on what he heard, and he should have stood up to say something. >> all right. amy and tharon, thank you both. christ christi. >> well, it is toxic and green and it is dangerous amounts of it plaguing the florida beaches, and stopping july fourth plans for tourists and prompting a state of emergency, and jennifer, what are you seeing? >> yeah, christi, it is bad. four counties are under a state of emergency because of this, and look at this toxic green algae running through the rivers and the canals and out into the ocean. we will have a full report coming up. symptoms kept coming back on my long-term control medicine. i talked to my doctor and found a missing piece in my asthma treatment with breo. once-daily breo prevents asthma symptoms. breo is for adults with asthma not well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. breo won't replace a rescue inhaler for sudden breathing problems. breo opens up airways to help improve breathing for a full 24 hours. breo contains a type of medicine that increases the risk of death from asthma problems and may increase the risk of hospitalization in children and adolescents. breo is not for people whose asthma is well controlled on a long-term asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. once your asthma is well controlled, your doctor will decide if you can stop breo and prescribe a different asthma control medicine, like an inhaled corticosteroid. do not take breo more than prescribed. see your doctor if your asthma does not improve or gets worse. ask your doctor if 24-hour breo could be a missing piece for you. see if you're eligible for 12 months free at mybreo.com. at the marine mammal center, the environment is everything. we want to do our very best for each and every animal, and we want to operate a sustainable facility. and pg&e has been a partner helping us to achieve that. we've helped the marine mammal center go solar, install electric vehicle charging stations, and become more energy efficient. pg&e has allowed us to be the most sustainable organization we can be. any time you help a customer, it's a really good feeling. it's especially so when it's a customer that's doing such good and important work for the environment. together, we're building a better california. toxic amounts of algae. look at it there, and so thick along the florida coast. it is being compared to guacamole soup, and cnn's drone flew over the area to give us a good idea of what it looks like. that is not a rendering. that is a true picture, and there is a stench to it so badly that people say they cannot go outside. and now, think about that we are on top of this and think about what is underneath, the marine life suffocating in the thick blanket of the sludge and look at this video of a manatee struggling to swim in the algae-ridden canal and getting an awful lot of help from somebody who is giving it water from the hose, and several counties are under a treasure trove of emergencies. jennifer gray, you are there above all of this and what are you hearing about how the state is going to handle this? >> well, people are concerned, christi, because there are so many layers to this. and you have not only the environmental issue, and the sea life issue, and the economic impact that it is going to make. and let me show you what we are dealing with as the tide is coming in, and it is moving and it is even more disgusting, but look at how thick this is and just laying right on top of it. this is throughout a lot of the rivers and the canals here in florida. it is starting from the inside-o inside-out, and starting from lake okeechobee because they have to regulate how high the lake is, because during the rainy season and the hurricane season they don't want it to be too high and then overflow and a flooding issue, so they regulate the levels and they are flowing so many gallons of water out of lake okeechobee every minute that it is flowing into all of the rivers and all of the lagoons and into the intercoastal waterways and because the water has so many fertilizers from the agricultural industry, and urban runoff a lot of the chemicals in the water, and it is pouring all of the fresh water into the salt water es tu watuaries and creai these toxic areas. and so normally they do it at the end of the summer, but that is why they are seeing it worse this year than years past, but you are igt rooshgs it is suffocating the marine life underneath, because it is depleting the oxygen level and as it is laying on top, the sunlight can't get through, and so you have plant life on the bottom of t bottom of the rivers and the ka nals die, which is the food that the manatees rely on as well, and because of that, there are so many layers to this, and it is stretching far beyond just the disgusting look of it. i mean, the reck ree raational fishing industry is a $5 billion a year industry, and tourism is $70 billion a year, but with that said, not all of the beaches are green. this is basically in the intercoastal waterways and the canals and the paddleboard shops and the kayakers and people fish here, and most of the beaches around florida are okay, but of course, they are keeping an eye on it, because it does eventually go out into the ocean, and disperse and so they are saying if you see the algae blooms, are report it, and the lifeguards are on top of it and if the toxic algae blooms are impacting the beaches, thatey wl close which is the last thing that people want to hear on a holiday weekend. >> and you hope that they can scrape some of it up in a lot of the places to really help the sea life underneath. jennifer gray, thank you so much. >> all right. and question, could donald trump name a vice presidential pick before the convention? we will tell you who is the gop presumptive nominee, and who he is meeting with this weekend and plus the investigators are looking into the deadly crash of the tesla on auto pilot, and what the company says caused the accident and what is it like to be behind the wheel of one of these cars. that is coming up next. we heard three really loud gunshots. people all over were saying that there was an attack on the restaurant. >> this neighborhood is one of the most the if not the most secure neighborhood here. >> we heard blasts. >> and it is a posh neighborhood and everyone is just stunned thatting something like this could happen here. >> and that is one of the stories that we are watching here at 33 minutes past the hour on a saturday morning. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell and good to be with you and that is the top story this saturday, terror in bangladesh. and the standoff is now over, but 20 people were found dead inside of that cafe, and all of them foreigners and all of them hack hacked to death, and at least 13 hostages though were rescued. >> this happened in the capital of bangladesh, a mile from the u.s. embassy. and seven terrorists attacked a bakery there using rifles and explosives and other sharp weapon weapons. six attackers were killed and one was taken alive. isis is laying claim, but there is some skepticism on that. all right. so there is the race that is continuing to see who finishes first when it comes to being donald trump's running mate, and names like chris christie and newt gingrich have been rumored to be on the short list and now indiana governor mike pence could push the two aside, and trump and pence are scheduled to meet this weekend. let's talk. we have an editor for cnn politics joining us, awana, and good morning. and now sh, we are seen that th list is for a long list of those who want to speak wednesday as the release date there, and is that corresponding with you that there is a long list of people who can't wait to get on stage at the trump convention? >> what donald trump tweeted there is not tracking with what we have been hearing and seeing in the reporting from talking to the prominent republicans, and the type of politicians that you would normally see at a convention. you have heard mitt romney, the last presidential nominee has no plans to go and speak, and john mccain, a nominee before him, no plans to speak. and even the governor of the state that the convention is going to be held in does not have any plan s s to speak, but what we have heard is that donald trump is likely to have his family play a prominent role, and likely to turn to the other figures and nonpolitical figures to endorse his run, and so he could be correct that the speaker rosters are lined up and full, and that we will see the release soon as he is inindicating, inindicating, but it is a different lineup, and we are not going to be seeing donald trump with a significant support from the traditional establishment. >> and trump said that there were requests for him to speak on all three nights as he said, and he turned that down. now, let's talk about the meeting that i just talked about between trump and indiana governor mike pence, and possibly a dark horse in the race, and he has the conservative christian credentials behind him. and what is his chance here as he lines up next to newt gingrich and chris christie? >> so a pick up of somebody like mike pence makes a lot of sense when you think of the things that donald trump needs. if you are looking at the way that he has appealed to the electorate, he is going to be look at someone who can kountco the brash personality, and the brashness he has brought into the race, and may win over some of the republicans that he has yet to win over, but with that, the attention of reporting is more focused on the new jersey governor chris christie since abandoning his own presidential bid, and he has appear ed on behalf of donald trump and talked about him quite a bit, and you have newt gingrich who is still well regarded in circles and come to donald trump's defense as he has taken heat from members of his own party, and this is a decision that we could see ahead of the convention which is certainly going to give him a little bit of the bump and turn the conversation a little bit as there are reports to maybe the campaign not going as well as he like and lot of the campaign showing polls behind hillary clinton in a general election matchup. >> and we talked a little bit about this moment between donald trump and a voter who questioned tsa hiring women who wear either hijab or nijab and trump not correcting the woman, and that they should not be replaced because they wear the religious garb. and he did correct a man who did say something about israel, and take us into that moment. >> yes, he did actually correct a moment, and he stood up and said, that israel is one of our biggest allies and we will stand firmly with israel and that is an issue that has potency for the republican voter and those in the republican base. so that is a winning moment for donald trump. he handled that pretty effectively and the other moment that you mentioned is where we get back to the question around donald trump all of the time, and it is a question of temperame temperament, and if you are rook look at the recent polling, that is where the voters' questions lie, and if he has more of the town hall-style meetings as we will see more of how he handles those questions and as you contrast contrasted this is a different response from john mccain that we saw, and different of the temperament of past republicans, and george w. bush as well. and so how he handles that is something i am watching closely. >> and thank you juana, cnn editor. >> thank you for having me. and now, a question about tesla, and while the auto pilot feature was on in the drive, the first driver dies who is driving a tesla with the feature on. and now dead. that is the man who died there. and we have details on what cau caused the crash, and what the company is doing to make sure that it does not happen again. it's a big one. too bad. we are double booked: diarrhea and abdominal pain. why don't you start without me? oh. yeah. if you're living with frequent, unpredictable diarrhea and abdominal pain, you may have irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea, or ibs-d. a condition that can be really frustrating. talk to your doctor about viberzi, a different way to treat ibs-d. viberzi is a prescription medication you take every day that helps proactively manage both diarrhea and abdominal pain at the same time. so you stay ahead of your symptoms. viberzi can cause new or worsening abdominal pain. do not take viberzi if you have or may have had: pancreas or severe liver problems, problems with alcohol abuse, long-lasting or severe constipation, or a blockage of your bowel or gallbladder. if you are taking viberzi, you should not take medicines that cause constipation. the most common side effects of viberzi include constipation, nausea, and abdominal pain. stay ahead of ibs-d... with viberzi. question, is a luxury electric car on auto pilot ends in a fatal crash -- who is to blame, the driver or the car? the crash involved a tesla being operated in the auto pilot setti setting. >> yes, we want to show you some video here of last year the driver joshua brown. this is him giving a dem e mow of how the auto pilot works, and in a blog post, tesla says that the car ran into the tractor-trailer because the software did not notice the whiteside of the truck in the brightly lit sky when that very driver that you are seeing on the screen was driving this week. basically the camera did not pick up the contrast of the colors and therefore, he died. cnn money's peter valdez pena, and you are joining us now, and you have actually driven a tesla on auto pilot, and any point that you were doing so where you didn't el feel safe? >> well, first of all, let me make it clear this is right after this software was first introduced, and there have been iterations since then, and improvements, but yeah, when i was driving, yes, situations where it did not pick up a lane line for instance and swerved into another lane or where it did not react quickly enough to a car being new york city drivers cut me off from another lane and i had to grab the wheel. and the software is not perfect, and so can something like this at this point in the technology's development ever be perfect, and apparently, it can't. >> and so we were watching a story about this earlier, and tesla advices never at the end of the day, never to take your hands off of the wheel, but to that, we kind of think, what is the point of auto pilot then? what to you say to that? >> a lot of the cars today, and mercedes-benz and infinity, they have software that does a lot of what tesla does, and maintains the place in the lane and a safe distance behind the to thee roretically, yes, you should be holding the steering wheel while you are driving, but it is ultimately the responsibility of the driver. >> it is ultimately the responsibility of tesla or the driver? >> it is your responsibility as a driver to be alert and in control at all times, but there are steps for tesla to make sure to remind drivers that the they should do that? >> so you have no problem continuing to drive a tesla? >> i have no problem with this and look at the situation and what happened and say, look, i have to remember that when there are vehicles crossing in front of me, that is a dangerous situation, and remember always, always, always, i need to pay attention and alert, because no software at this point is going to be perfect. >> all right. peter valdes-depena, very good to have your expertise here on this. >> thank you. >> brazil is facing debt and pollution and the zika virus and what seems to be the curse of the rio olympics. intense flames here. you can even hear what is going on here broke out after a gas main exploded a kocouple of hou ago out outside of detroit. the fire department in melvindale the had to evacuate part of the city, and the population of about 10,000, an unsure how many people had to leave their homes at that hour of the day, but one person was hurt. our affiliate says that a car crashed and hit a gas main there. and let's talk about the rio olympics, because there is more and more negative attention brought to it with more and more problems coming to light as we are heading toward s ts the big games. >> and these are big problems. this week, body part washed ashore, and you know, the zika vivus a challenge there, and athletes are backing out because of it. and rio also has a superbacteria in the water and a bike path collapsed killing two people as we well, and our correspondent arwa damon in live in rio with the latest. arwa, what is the degree of confidence that this or any of the problems will be solved before the world floods in, in just a little bit more than a month? >> that really depends who it is that you are asking. there is a sense that even if the problems are not all necessarily addressed or resolved, the games will somehow end up going ahead, but, yes, rio is facing a set of issues that other nations who have hosted the olympics in the past have not faced like you mention ed there, zika, the super bacteria, and the sheer levels of pollution that exist in some of the waters where the sports are going be taking place. yes, the government says that the pollution levels are not as high as some of the athletes or others believe that they are, but ask the athletes, and they are not necessarily that comfortable having this water accide accidentally splashing into their mouths, and that being said, they are going to be go ahead with all of this, and you have the issue of the pollution as i mentioned, and then this underlying issue of security and not necessarily terrorism-related security, but it is just security in general, a and how safe is the population going to be from the various criminal gangs. yes, the streets are flooded with high levels of military, and tens of thousands of security forces will be added on to those that already exist here, but you have security leading up to the games, with the criminal gangs according to some of the police officers that we have been talking to running rampant, and the most recent incident involving the german national broadcasters where two of the massive trucks carrying the main equipment to set up the live position s fs for the game and their driver was held at gunpoint, and the trucks were hijack and the containers were later found, but they were empty so none of this is instilling a lot of confidence at this stage in the government's capabilities, and that being said though, rio is a city that has hosted a significant events such as the world's cup, and let's not forget that every single year, they are also dealing with major events as well, so people will point to that and say, look, rio is going to be able to the handle it, but it might be less than ideal. >> all right. arwa damon there for us in rio. arwa, thank you so much. and since we are talking about the olympics, ah, some dire news about it, but there is still a lot of excitement for a lot of people as we are heading into it. in fact, there was a thriller at the olympic swimmingi inin inin michael phelps and ryan lochte face-off one last time before they head to the rio. you ever wonder what it must be like in the nba when you are trying to wheel and deal all of these contracts and all of this money and what is it like behind closed doors? the money they throw around, and the figures they throw around. >> and we are talking about tens of millions, and more than $100 million for the multi-year contracts, and rashana lee joining us. the incredible money that we have seen. >> and the incredible money that we make. >> and so now can you play a game? >> i can't play basketball to save my life. i am like the rainbow shooter, and i come up here -- >> oh, gosh. i hope it gets in. >> i am bad. i am bad. >> and reportedly more than a $1.5 billion were handed out to 27 players yesterday. >> wow. >> the salary cap is up this year, and giving the teams more money to spend, and mike conly is biggest winner of the day and he went for five-year $153 million deal to stay with the memphis grizzlies which is the largest contract in nba history, but that is for now, because the two biggest names in free agency lebron james and kevin durant are in market. and the oklahoma thunder wants to bring kevin durant back for one more season, but lebron james has declined his free agency offer, but he made it clear he does not want the leave cleveland any time soon. >> and also, in the jamaican running history, hussein bolt is trying to get healthy enough to defend his title, and the olympics are just 34 days away. and a duel in the pool. michael phelps and ryan lochte swam in the 200 medley, and sit is phelps inching out the biggest rival by inch, and don't feel bad for lochte, because it earn earned him a spot in rio still, and they have been battling for year years. >> and with the second or two in between and you go to the olympics and you have no idea what is going to be happening. >> right. >> and anybody can win. >> anybody can win. >> and let me ask you about lebron james, because he says that he has no intentions of leaving cleveland, but if he were to leave, he came what he did to do? >> yes, he can retire. >> and he leaves with no disrespect. >> none. and i know that christi is saying, please. >> i am just sitting here. i will not get myself in troubl trouble. >> right. >> and he is staying, okay. >> he is staying. >> yeah, we get it. you are undecided down 3-1, and you said that there is a chance. >> that is how it is, and the cleveland fans are die hard. >> oh, no, ohio. >> and how many years in the dog pound for the browns. just saying. thank you. >> my pleasure. >> and thank you so much for being with us. and we will see you back at 10:00 a.m. for an hour of newsroom. >> and coming up is michael smerconish. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com i i' i i'm>> i i' i i'm>s the fireworks have begun. bp bad optibad optics or b?

christi paul. >> i'm 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 that's 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. let's 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. that's 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. we've heard from eyewitnesses, witnesses, a cafe worker who said they came in with guns, they were shooting in the air. they weren't shooting at any people at the time. they weren't hitting anyone. really trying to instill fear. here's 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 wasn't 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 walkie-talkie as well. the prime minister of bangladesh has just spoken to the public in bangladesh announcing two days of mourning. >> let's 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. it's not uncommon for isis to claim responsibility in bangladesh. but every time they've done so, the bangladeshi government has come out and said that isis is not present in bangladesh. that's exactly why the u.s. officials that also voiced some concern are saying that isis doesn't 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, there's a group, a local militant group, which is linked to al qaeda. they've claimed responsibility for a number of attacks. there's 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 it's 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. that's 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. it's very tense. we're very worried. you have to remember it's 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. >> what's happening in bangladesh is disturbing because effectively it's 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 haven't faced anything like the scale of this terror on bangladeshi soil before. >> i think we are seeing a rise in radicalism in this country. it's 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? it's not just what it looks like. people say the stench is so bad they can't 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 it's a holiday weekend where people are known to get out on the water quite a bit in this state. we'll 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. she's vowing to take the advice of the fbi and the career prosecutors over whether charges should be filed because of hn hillary clinton's use of a private server. chris frates is following the story. good morning. >> reporter: good morning, you're exactly right. attorney general loretalynch saying she's accept the recommendations of the fbi. they're weighing whether to bring charges against hillary clinton for her use of that private e-mail server, something that has dogged her for over a year now. it's 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 here's proof that lynch had a conflict of interest and she couldn't possibly be in partial in her department's investigation into all the clinton e-mail stuff. so lynch says that bill clinton's 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 wouldn't 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, she's 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 presidents. political favorites include elizabeth warren. she's been an attack dog for clinton against donald trump. and she's popular among bernie sanders supporters as well. julian castro rumored to be near the top. he's the secretary of housing and urban development. there's 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, let's 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 presidential 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 doesn't 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. it's a surprising development as pence endorsed ted cruz before the indiana primary and seemed to tamp down expectations this week. >> i haven't talked to him about that topic. my focus is in the hoosier state. >> despite trump's previous statements he would announce it at the convention, aides say it may come sooner. trump didn't say much about his vice presidential 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. we're 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 trump's warm up speaker sarah palin ripped into his critics. >> it's 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 they're up against pointing to bill clinton's meeting with loretta lynch as hillary clinton is under an fbi investigation over her private e-mail server. >> i said you're kidding i don't believe it. i thought somebody was joking. but it's not a joke. it's not a joke. it's very serious thing. and to have a thing like that happen is so sad. that could be a mexican plane up there they're getting ready to attack. >> reporter: they're nervous that sometimes his rhetoric is taking the party in a wrong direction. >> why aren't 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. authorities are sending in more troops. we're live from jerusalem. >> we've seen closures like this one behind me. barricad barricades, we've seen end blocks and piles of dirt. all in an attempt, the severe measures to fight the uptick of violence at the end of ramadan. amazing sleep stays with you all day and all night. sleep number beds with sleepiq technology give

sleep number store. federal authorities are looking into a fatal crash involving a tesla in autopilot. regulators are trying to find out what went wrong. >> we're showing you some video from last year. the man you're going to see in this video here is joshua brown. he's the very man that was killed in this recent accident. what you're 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. we've heard warnings about the technology and how it's used for years. this makes it real. here's what happened. a tractor trailer was making a left turn in front of the tesla, and the autopilot system didn't 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. 40-year-old joshua brown died in the accident. he was a tesla enthusiast. here's him showing how autopilot works. >> if you don't take control the car brakes. it starts to abruptly slow down. >> reporter: tesla wants to put this into context saying it's the first fatality in 130 million miles of using autopilot. it's 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 it's in development. but experts are already taking issue with the company. they're saying if the system has any kind of blind spot drivers should not be allowed today use it, especially at high speeds. it's 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 it's 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. in fact, the government is planning to release rules for testing oug testing autonomous vehicles this summer. christi, victor? >> christina, thank you so much. this is an important and pretty big problem anytime it happens. especially on the fourth of july weekend. people are headed to the beach, headed out on boats and a green slime is blooming along parts of the florida coast. we heard three really large gunshots. there were like, reports all over from people saying there was like, an attack on the restaurant. >> this neighborhood is one of the most if not the most secure neighborhood in dhaka. >> there was a huge bomb blast which we heard. >> it's a very posh neighborhood. it's always been very secure. everyone is just stunned that something like this could happen here. you've been watching this attack for hours in bangladesh. and this morning, we have breaking news that emery university is saying one of its students, the emery university here in atlanta, one of its students was among the 20 killed in the terror attack in bangladesh. the school says he was an undergrad student at the oxford college campus in georgia. she is from miami, florida, was visiting friends and family in dhaka. emery tweeted this our thoughts and prayers go to her family for peace at this sad time. they said in the wake of the loss the university is offering support to members of our community through counseling services. >> let me jump in here, because there is a breaking sad addendum to this. a second emery student has also been killed. emery tweeting out just minutes ago. second student has been identified among those murders in the bangladesh terror attacks. two students at atlanta's emery university. one was from miami. we'll find out more details about the second student. two students from emery university, two of the 20 killed in the attack in bakery in dhaka. we'll get you more as soon as we get it on the details of the hostage standoff that happened 12-13 hours overnight. check out the latest on our website cnn.com. 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 didn't 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 state's 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 it's been so controversial, the nba has threatened to move next year's all-star 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: that's 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. that's not something that people have to do. >> reporter: we wanted to better understand the proposed modifications, so we asked the house bill's co-author paul stan. but he didn't have much to say. where do things stand with house bill two? north carolina's 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. >> it's tenuous around the non-fix we've heard that does something to change house bill 2. >> reporter: for those like candice cox uaffected for the law, there is no compromise it's 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 aren't 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. >> i've 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 women's restaurant is inappropriate. >> hb 2 goes so far when i use the men's 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 they're taking jobs with them. >> conventions have already canceled and it's 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. let's deal with what's on the governor's 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 it's very important to note that it's 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 that's placed on every citizen in north carolina in regards to reporting discrimination. so that's 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 non-discrimination 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, it's huge. you know, we've 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 that's 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. >> there's a shot over your shoulder as you're standing between the men's room and the women's room. take me into that moment here. all right. we apparently had a problem with our skype there. i'd love to continue to have that conversation. if we can get zeke back up. do we have our next -- okay. let's continue this conversation now. we're going to start with hb 2 but broaden the conversation with misty snow, a candidate for the u.s. senate. i should say nominee. she's the first openly transgender woman to win a nomination at that level. misty, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's 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 it's law that's 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 that's incompatible to their gender appearance creates more problems than it solves. the law doesn't solve any problems, it's creating a lot of problems. i think businesses are right to put pressure on the lawmakers because it's a bad law and it needs to be repealed. >> all right. so that's a state issue. you're running for federal office. let's 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 america's military to fight culture wars instead of fighting real wars against the enemies of our nation. what's your response to that? >> i think you know it's a right move by the military. there's no reason why a trans person couldn't serve in the military. i think it's long overdo. you know, the comments from more conservative people. if we need soldiers, why deny qualified people for any reason if they're 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 hasn't elected a democratic senator in 40 years. how do you get there? >> well, you know, we're trying to get our message out. you know, my opponent has a 38% approval rating in the latest poll. that same poll shows i'm actually polling better than previous democratic nominees for u.s. senate. those numbers are encouraging. i'm 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, it's giving me a lot of attention. i think i need to keep getting my message out there and make the case with the presidential nominating contest winding down. those people who supported bernie sanders, it's 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. let's 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 that's 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 it's rightly placed. i think the monetary burden that's being placed on the state for full repeal is what's really going to be the thing that turns the tide here. and i think that is what it's going to take for repeal in order to get that economic support back to our state. >> okay. what's been the response you've received after this ad has been across the state? >> i was pleasantly surprised to get overwhelming support. i haven't 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. i've had, you know, friends, colleagues, people who i haven't 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. it's 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 that's bubbling up along the florida coast, take a look at this. it's prompting a state of emergency. toxic green algae is blooming in the water here. jennifer gray is actually there. jennifer, i know you're just right on top of

disaster, it's an economic disaster. >> several counties along the state's treasure coast are under states of emergency this morning. jennifer gray is there. she's surrounded by the mess. she's standing a couple feet above it. help us understand, as you just did, but even a little more. help us understand what it looks like, what you're smelling. do you feel like you need to step back as we heard people say they can't 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. it's 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. it's nearly unbearable. it's incredibly sad. people are furious. this is all a water management issue. it's become very political. you know, they're constantly trying to regulate the levels of lake okeechobee especially during the rainy season, hurricane season, they don't want it to get above a certain level. if it over flows you have a flooding problem around lake okeechobee. as they're 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 it's fresh water being filtrated in and out of these rivers, canals, that are salt-water estuaries, you're messing up the estuaries down here in south florida. and you're also like you said, you're suffocating the marine life. it's depleting the oxygen out of the water. not the mention the disgusting sludge. it's fi it's filtering the sun light. people are furious. the economy is reliant on the fishing and tourism. nobody wants to come when there's algae like this. so people are demanding answers and hopefully they will get some very soon. they're 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 that's polluting. and it passed but nothing's been done to buy the land. they're basically stuck here with pollutants in the water. the algae blooms and they're not getting any answers. >> thank you so much. we appreciate that description. big time pay days for some big time nba players. we'll have more on the free agent frenzy. among

jennifer. >> hi, jenna, her communication director tweeted just moments ago, we could have done better yesterday, that was in response to criticism from president obama's former adviser david apelrod. hillary clinton's press secretary says she is feeling better today and will call in to the fundraiser in san francisco later today, her doctor lisa released the following statement last night, quote, secretary clinton has been experiencing a cough related to allergies on friday, during follow up evaluation, she was diagnosed with pneumonia. i have just examined her and she is now rehydrated and recovering nicely. video on social media showing aides helping her to the van. she lost a shoe we were told. her knees appear to buckle as she stepped forward and stumbled toward the vehicle cutting short her visit to the memorial. 90 minutes later she e personalled from her daughter's chelsea's downtown manhattan complex. she and her aides told her she had allergies and the cough caused to to interrupt the speech and later a briefing. >> every time i think about trump, i get allergic. >> this photo in february launched multiple theories that the campaign has worked hard to debunk, one a doctor carry to go stop seizures and she even went jimmy kimmel. >> take my pulse while i'm talking to you. [laughter] >> make sure i'm alive. >> oh, my god, there's nothing there. >> back in october the national inquire said i would be dead in six months. >> oh, boy. >> with every breath i take -- >> you have a new lease on life. >> a new lease on life. >> for 90 minutes yesterday the prez was kept in the dark, her aides were not answering phone calls, they kept the traveling press pool away from the incident as she left the memorial. 90 minutes later after press secretary put out a statement said she had become overheated even though the weather had broken in new york but not the heat wave that we had not been experiencing the week before. jenna: thank you. john: to mrs. clinton's diagnosis raising questions of the health of both candidates, donald trump at 70 and hillary clinton at 68. for more let's talk about the anchor of special report, bret, the campaign is trying to address this as it was pneumonia and dehydration and all taken care of but it is still raising some questions out there specially regarding mrs. clinton. >> yeah, john, good morning. i think there are calls now that are getting louder and louder for detailed medical records from both candidates. you heard donald trump on fox and friends this morning saying he's taken a physical and he's going to release some amount of data, we don't know how much of his medical records on the dr. oz show on thursday, of all places. i think that is going to put more pressure on hillary clinton to come out with some more detailed medical records or history. remember john mccain released 1200 pages for reporters to look at and an indpeent group of physicians to analyze and that's what's being called for by both sides of the aisle. january january john: what's unusual is tweet from axelrod. >> antibiotics can take care of pneumonia, what's the cure for pension for privacy. creates unnecessary problems and then the spokeswoman for the clinton campaign tweeted back, we could have done better yesterday but it is a fact that the public knows more about hrc than any nominee in history. if they're taking shots from, you know, one of the president's own people, former people, you know, still very tight with the obama folks, that's never a good sign? >> no, it shows you how serious this is. maybe less so about the health. we don't know yet definitively. as far as how the campaign handled this, that's an issue and even inside democratic circles like david axelrod. this is a problem for the campaign to have known on friday that she was diagnosed with pneumonia to keep her on the same schedule that she had. remember on friday she had a two-hour national security meeting and held a press conference and had a sit-down with cnn and had two fundraisers, one of which she had the line about the basket of deplorables. that's a pretty hefty schedule. the campaign and how it handled it is a big story and how far they two to protect hillary clinton's privacy keeping reporters at bay. john: as you might expect the trump campaign couldn't resist getting in the twitter battle. voters know more about hillary clinton than any other candidate. kellyanne conway treated this. she said, de, defense spelling it out, they know enough about hillary that they do not like her and don't trust her. is this going to put an end to it? i mean, she's going to sit out a couple of days of the campaign, we understand. she's going to call to the california fundraiser. trump is going to release medical records as you pointed out on thursday, is that going to put an end to the issue? >> we will see, we will see if hillary clinton follows suit, if there is, in fact, this release and independent study of her medical situation, i think that that will be the next, i think what was also notable this morning was when donald trump was asked about it, his tone and tenure was different than perhaps he answered. we all hope she gets better and we will see her at the debate. so, yeah, i don't expect that trump campaign to be saying too much about this. they're going to, i believe, just let it kind of fester. john: then there's the ongoing battle between them over the remark where she says half of his supporters could be lumped into a basket of deplorables. you pointed out that's not the fist time she has used the phrase. >> no, she used it as an interview with israeli television station. she used it at past fundraisers. the problem was for this particular comment at that fundraiser in new york, was the half, half of all of the supporters and she apologized or at least walked back that half, half is roughly 47% and that tracks with mitt romney's 47% comment that got a lot of attention in 2012. we will see if it has that affect but the trump campaign is out with a new ad this morning and running in ohio, pennsylvania and north carolina, among other swing states. john: yeah, half, i mean, with the race this tight, half also works out to about i don't know 20, 25% of the voting population, assuming that, you know, clinton and trump are splitting the vote right now. one of them is going to end up being president of all of the people of this country, if you take 20 to 25% and you call phobes what is your duty down the road? >> any time you talk about voters in general, that's not a good place to be as a candidate. if you're talking about your opponent and specifically, you know, what your opponents do, that's fine, but if you're talking about the voters themselves, that's usually not a good thing specially when you're talking about millions of people. she said she generalized, overgeneralized but this will be used by the trump campaign to rally his base, it's probably not going to rally that many middle of the road democrats or independents. john: there are reports, whispers the democrats are concerned about the overall campaign, might be looking for a stand-in? >> i think it's far-fetched. the fact that it's being mentioned at npr by people who, you know, like roberts who is not a right-leaning commentator saying that this is being talked about in democratic circles, i think is to be noted but far-fetched at this point. >> bret, we will look at you at special report tonight. jenna: regardless of who wins in november the next american president will have to deal with north korea. south korean officials say the country could conduct another nuclear test at any time. as you might recall the north korea carried out fifth test, concerns that the country is making progress with missile technology. greg in london with more. greg. >> you are absolutely right. officials in seoul saying there's a blast, calling him foolish for ignoring in the words of the anchor north korea's strategic as a nuclear state which does not sound different than obama administration critics that stated policy, strategic patients -- patience has allowed kim jong un to develop a series nuclear threat. a development of nuclear war head which we have been watching in the past year also stepping up, the administration there, long and medium-range missile tests, we saw three medium tests last week. finally, one proactive move by the united states was rained out today, 2b1b bombers capable of carrying 24 nuclear war heads each said to be flown from a u.s. base in the phillipines to south korea today. bad weather forced pilots to change plans and try again tomorrow. jenna: a story we will watch, thank you. john: new questions about white house transparency centering on the treasure troll of documents. we are live with an update on that, plus a guy arrested for putting an ied in someone's car and police say he's got a history of violence. also we want to hear from you. do you think hillary clinton and donald trump should both release complete health records?

(climbing sounds) when kevin jorgeson needs light, he trusts duracell quantum because it lasts longer. ♪ (duracell slamtones) i don't think john right now crime headlines we are following. an autopsy on the remains of a 13-year-old found near pennsylvania river just days after she disappeared. she was last seen friday heading out to shop, police have not released any cause of death or named any suspects. in tennessee police just arrested a 41-year-old man after they say he placed an explosive device inside another person's car. they safely detonated the ied but the suspect had a violent history and wanted on a felony warrant in virginia. back to pennsylvania and a double stabbing with one man dead, another woman in critical condition. police say they don't believe anyone else was involved but say the investigation is just beginning. jenna: new information on the treasure troll of documents found in the raid that took out osama bin laden. the white house isn't bees transparent about what's in those documents. our chief intelligence correspondence is live in washington with the story. katherine. >> well, thank you, jenna. committee telling fox news that the administration has deliberately put the brakes on releasing document covered by the navy seal. in addition to killing the al-qaeda leader who lived in pakistan, the navy seal recovers cd's letters as well as personal thoughts. the allegation is -- the documents show that bin add lean -- bin laden and al-qaeda has a more significant relationship including bin laden's surviving son. >> bin laden told his followers not to attack the iranians and i think as we begin to comb through the documents we are going learn a lot more about bin laden and it was not going to be what was presented by the administration. >> the documented releaseed today showed it was not in charge of the global network. >> and, you know, originally they came out and released 16 or 17 documents that created a false narrative about what was actually -- what bin laden was actually doing. >> the administration has said that it's work to go release the bin add lean documents as quickly as possible and that this relationship between iran and al-qaeda is simply being overblown, jenna. jenna: the only way we had access to some of the documents has been court cases. the government is trying to prosecute alleged terrorists? >> court cases and also the release through the counterterrorism center at west point but the argument is that thousands of documents were recovered from the compound but just a couple of dozen have been made available to the public and what we are seeing is a narrow window into his thinking and it doesn't really speak to the fact that bin laden was engaged at the time of his death and really in command of what had become a global network at that point, jenna. jenna: very interesting. i encourage u viewers to access documents. they're very easy to read and give you a clear picture, some of what was being discussed. thank you very much. >> you're welcome. john: tesla's model s gets an upgrade months after a deadly crash. the update that probably could have saved the life of that driver. also 20 years after the mysterious murder of john ramsey, new interest could bring new light, still that unsolved case. n their windshield got cracked... ...but they couldn't miss the show. so dad went to the new safelite-dot-com. and in just a few clicks, he scheduled a replacement... ...before the girls even took the stage. safelite-dot-com is the fast, easy way to schedule service anywhere in america! so you don't have to miss a thing. y'all did wonderful! that's another safelite advantage.

>> you know, i don't think there's any new technology. that's an interesting question. i don't think there's any new technology, why? with the technology that we have had over the past 20 years, something should have shown right now what really took place that night for -- where the little girl was killed. what we should be looking at the brother, the brother was 9 year's old at the time of the murder. as you recall he was in the home at the time. guess what she is 29 year's old now. he is talking for the first time. i've always thought from watching this case, jenna, if many years that the brother could hold the key to this case. the brother can't remember anything that's going to be significant, the unfortunate news this may wind of being a told case forever. >> it's frustrating because we know somebody knows what happened to this girl. you mentioned the brother, one of the first times we speak out about his sister's death. those interviews are airing this week, one of the reasons we are talking about it today. how useful to talk to somebody after the event, rod, what challenges come with that? >> a lot of challenges, why? people forget things over time. i've always said with this case, many seasoned investigators have always said the brother should have been interviewed a long time ago when this took place. the brother was never interviewed by the colorado investigators when the body was first found. you can interview somebody that young. it's going to be difficult to get anything of substance from the brother at this time although i have seen some case where is that has happened, information has come forward so i think that the case can possibly still be solved but i think it's going to take a whole lot more work but i think it's going to take a whole set of fresh eyes to look at this as well. jenna: sometimes we see in cases when there's renewed media attention because of a certain time frame that sometimes there's a break in the case. what would you be looking for? if you could look for one piece of evidence or someone to speak with, what clue would you be trying to piece together, rod? >> you know, if this was my case, if i was investigating this homicide, i would really zero in on the father, obviously the mother passed away years ago. the father holds the key and some kind of way i would get that guy to talk. i don't think in this case -- and i think a lot of viewers would agree with this, jenna n this case the father has never come 100% clean. the police investigators have felt the same way and i think the father and the brother right now are our two best options in terms of trying to get closure with this case, jenna. jenna: how would you approach somebody that for 20 years has been answering questions about her daughter east death? >> the only thing that i have seen over many years, sometimes there's a form of hipnosis that you can use and sometimes use that to help a person recollect incidents from many years ago. the problem is that the father would have to voluntarily consent to that and i tell you this something this guy will not want to do texas colorado investigators have felt that the parents had something to do with the girl's death and i agree with them. i'm just not for sure they will be able to solve it. >> we know there was an innocent little girl in all of it and we could just want justice for him. it's maddening sometimes. you wonder where is the justice for her. >> that's right. she may never get justice in this case, unfortunately she lost her life but again i have to always go back to the police investigators on the initial crime scene, jenna, real quickly, that is so critical in a murder investigation. the witness statement that is you get and to be honest, that wasn't done years ago, now 20 years ago in the case involved jonbenet ramsey. jenna: great to have you on the program as always. >> good talking to you, jenna. john: to politics ahead, donald trump is weighing in on hillary clinton's health problem, what he's had to say and why her campaign is under fire, also how reporters have covered it all, our media panel weighs in and you can call it a technical fumble after a fantasy football app crashes on the first sunday of the nfl season. we are live. at gives 35,000 fans a cutting edge game experience. or the network that keeps a leading hotel chain's guests connected at work, and at play. or the it platform that powers millions of ecards every day for one of the largest greeting card companies. businesses count on communication, and communication counts on centurylink. john: right now a quick look at what's still to come this hour of happening now. donald trump's reaction to hillary clinton scare. members of the media panel say he played it smart. also a dallas area fire captain found shot to death inside his truck. who police just arrested. shedding new light on ancient history. jenna: now information on technical issue on the first sunday of the nfl season with one of the most widely used apps crashing. cheryl casone with the fox business network with the story. cheryl, you were on the app while it happened? cheryl, no, i wasn't guys. espn's fantasy sports app was not. the app crashed for 7.1 million unique users and, of course, fans went to social media to express their anger. this is one of the nicer ones. if ever there was a definition of bone head at espn nailed it with week one fantasy fumble. #nfl kickoff. of course, there was more. espn is saying, look, we are sorry for the issue but took almost three hours for them to respond to all of the anker out there for espn sportsmans. quote, we continue to work hard to resolve today's technical issues, we appreciate your patience. we apologize for the inconvenience. they have not explained what happened with the app. that's the big question right now. there's more to this. this company now says by 4:00 p.m. another run of games began and the app was partially functioning but still rough timing for digital strategy. the network has been losing viewers and the parent company of espn, revenues of espn television, a major concern for wall street analysts, jenna, so all of this combining yesterday with social media outraging just made a lot of the fans really angry. jenna: there's anker and some issues for the parent company as well. that's a story we will watch. cheryl, what about amazon making some headlines today? cheryl: all right, here is what's going on with amazon, they are taking it offline. the company is going to move by going offline and into shopping malls. according to business insider, am done is going to have a hundred pop-up shops in mall. they already exist in new york, texas and california but now looking at cities like miami, hartford, connecticut, think about this. amazon can't sell everything in a mall, even an entire mall, but what's interesting the devices are ways to shop on the site of amazon obviously in an attempt to compete with apple and microsoft. specially when they come to apple, they've had a lot of success. jenna: another reason to go to the mall. cheryl, thank you. john: hillary clinton's came under fire for handling of health scare this weekend and fail to go discloses that she had pneumonia. donald trump reacting to the news this morning on fox and friends. >> i hope she gets well soon. i don't know what's going on. i'm like you, i just -- i see what i see. the coughing fit was a week ago so i assume it would have been pneumonia also. something is going on but i hope she gets well and gets back on the trail. john: joining us now alan combs, kelly, commentary writer for the washington times. i think we ought to have a fox news alert here because alan is it true that donald trump handled this right? [laughter] >> at the time i said that this morning i really did believe that but then he goes on cnbc and he says, wait a minute, this is different than what we heard a week ago when she was coughing and now raising doubt. he said exactly the right thing on fox and friends this morning. i thought he handled it above board. he raised doubt in a subsequent interview, typical of donald trump. i wish he hasn't done that, bad idea. john: remember when she had the coughing fit and jokingly ex jokinglyplained, when i think about donald trump i get allergic. >> a joke. john: kelly, what do you think about the way he handled it? >> i thought he did a fabulous job on fox and friends today. he went against what the media wanted him to do. they wanted him to go on twitter and say i told you so. hillary clinton didn't have the stamina. he didn't give them any of that. i thought the cnbc interview, i didn't think he stumbled too badly there. the fact of the matter is that the press should be asking these questions, there should be questioning whether the pneumonia diagnosis was real or not real. >> here we are waiting doubt again. >> a video footage showing her stumbling to show she had pneumonia. why didn't they do that at the beginning to have day when she left the ceremony. they're being more advocate for hillary clinton's campaign than they are asking questions. john: she has pneumonia, apparently, isn't something that the press should have been told? >> absolutely. they've said that they wished they had done it. the lack of transparency is troubling. they should have announced on friday when she was diagnosed that this is what it was because it comes back to bite you. you have to get ahead of the story, for the right and trump supporters to raise doubt, maybe it's something else and it's really a wrong -- >> the media should play it right down the middle. >> the media is. >> no they weren't. last week the washington post said isn't it time to put hillary clinton's health to rest. >> it was. >> she clearly had pneumonia. john: you can't have it both ways. you can't say that the media are right to say that the health records aren't important. >> i did not say they weren't important. when she was diagnosed on friday they should have release it had information. you have people on the right who have been for years or at least weeks and months suggesting that there's something else wrong with her, unqualified physically to be running for president and that's just not true and this feeds into that narrative. >> she suffered blood clots and concussions. she couldn't recall 40 times. in 2012 -- it's in the fbi records. >> up until now she has released more health info than donald trump. >> it's still less than her husband did in 1992 and 11996 that john mccain did in 2008 and barack obama did. she needs to release more and i agree with you donald trump needs to release his. >> donald trump ought to release his taxes. he's the least transparent candidate we've had. she's been investigated -- the most transparent candidate in terms terms of the numbers of years investigating and we are still investigating benghazi. they find donald trump untrust worthy too. you're ignoring the high negatives of the donald trump. >> i agree with you, alan. john: she dodged her press pool, the press that follows her lost her a couple of times yesterday during the whole health episode. >> that should be transparency on health, absolutely. john: we are going leave it there. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. jenna: tim kaine just arrived at the richmond international airport. it is his first day on his own plane and he will be traveling with the press core for the first time today. tim kaine is on the campaign trail despite hillary clinton taking a few days off for her health. we are just noting it as the campaigns really hit into full gear as we move closer toward november 8th. in the meantime, police making an arrest after fire captain was shot on the road who was conspire to go kill him. plus raising new questions about ancient history. why some believe it depicts alexander the great. start yours with philips sonicare, the no.1 choice of dentists. compared to oral-b 7000, philips sonicare flexcare platinum removes significantly more plaque. this is the sound of sonic technology cleaning deep between teeth. hear the difference?

>> nothing has compared with the discovery of this mosaic. jenna: why is that? >> a nonbiblical story, a story that does not occur in the hebrew bible or old he'sment and the -- testament and it's also amazing. jenna: we want to get to that reason why you think this is alexander the great, there are those who might think it's something else. take us back a few steps. how did you even find the mosaic? >> i started this excavation in 2011 with the goal of excavating a synagogue building because the kind of synagogue is not typically decorated with mosaic floors, when we reached the floor we discovered that there are mosaics and we discovered different scenes in the mosaics depicting biblical hero samsung and over three different summers we brought to light the extraordinaria mosaic that we are talking about new. jenna: they look like they are in remarkable condition? >> they are. my husband is a professional photographer and he has pictures showing us standing around watching as our site conserver who is the one who cares brushing back the dirt so that for the first time in a thousand 600 years the mosaics were brought to light again. jenna: that might have been an incredible moment for all of you. so we are seeing them. we are not archaeologists. tell us why do you think it's alexander the great and what does that tell us about ancient history? >> right, the mosaic is a panel that's divided into three horizontal strips that get bigger as you get towards the top and very typical, it's telling a story that is meant to be read from the bottom up and culminates in the top strip or register which is the biggest one with the meeting between two large male figures who are bigger because they are more important than anybody else. one figure dressed all in white pretty much all agree has to be a jewish high priest and another large male figure who is younger but also bearded and that male figure is dressed in a very elaborate military outfit and has attributes of a king, he's wearing a purple clothe and accompanied by all sorts of figures that indicate that he's a greek king, greek military formation next to him, battle elephants. so really it's got to be a meeting between a jewish high priest and either alexander the great or one of his successors. i think it's actually telling the story of the meeting between alexander the great and the jewish high priest. jenna: i only have about 30 seconds but why would that be significant? >> well, this was a story that circulated a lot but probably never occurred in the centuries following alexander the great's death, the jews thought to associate themselves with alexander and stories began to circulate. jenna: fascinating. we know this site has been the site with a lot of different discoveries. thank you for sharing a little snapshot of it. thank you. >> thank you for having me. john: fascinating mystery. congress is hope to go pass a short-term spending bill to keep the government up and running, why it could leave to a lame-duck session later coming up.

the intelligent comfortable and autonomous class how we imagine the transport of tomorrow but is it really the automobile that will drive us into the future. in one vision of a new mode of transportation seems promising the hyperloop a train capable of reaching the speed of sound while some say it's a crazy idea researchers and entrepreneurs from all over the world are working on making the hyperloop a reality can. you should we remain faithful to old concepts of mobility or embark on an uncertain future. of whom. los angeles the city of dreams is the birthplace of a vision that could revolutionize our speed of travel. the hyperloop. a train that races through a vacuum tube. the idea came from billionaire ilan musk. and his fortune from online businesses today he makes electric cars and is designing a rocket for interplanetary travel. but he doesn't want to design the hyperloop himself. instead he decided to organize a competition for students from all over the world. so what this is really going to do is. give a show interest more technology to get people excited about your false interest or . things that maybe a bit of what we received. a team from munich are also taking part in the competition the students are determined to be involved in the mobility of the future. they're up against teams from all over the world which one of them will build the best hyperloop prototype. over four hundred student team submitted design the twenty seven best teams were invited to build their prototypes and compete against each other for the first time. with. students from the technical university of delft in the netherlands where the second european team to qualify for los angeles. will be others from europe were eliminated at an earlier stage it's hard to imagine that the transportation of the future might be born in this open air workshop. around the world traffic is predicted to grab more and more people are traveling ever greater distances doing business and venturing to every corner of the globe but our transportation infrastructure is not designed for a society that is forever on the move. for michelle shack and bag this is a worrying development our expectations no longer match the reality of what is feasible for our ever dwindling resources. got so people expect to be able to be mobile at all times which means being able to use their vehicle at any time they expect the infrastructure to be available and they expect the energy to be available to this has become our basic mentality and if this mobility becomes impossible we'll see problems it down in the future we'll have to live with the fact that resources are limited that you can all leave most interesting resource in trenton and. so many young people owning a car is no longer as important as it once was but rising prosperity and population growth mean that the number of cars continues to increase around the world. as a result our roadways are under strain and there is more and more road construction and congestion. because we are city stickley speaking a car is parked twenty three hours a day that means it's an underutilized asset that i could invest in better somewhere else car sharing and public transport are better alternatives and there are various concepts you but in the end what matters is whether people and drivers go along with the. concepts. ideas and concepts. one of these concepts could be the hyperloop the idea isn't near the basic principle behind the hyperloop has been around for well over one hundred years it's based on a system of transport that was designs not for people but for letters and documents the pneumatic mount to win. in new york city a large network of pneumatic mell tubes once connected entire districts. these tubes also delivered mail within buildings from one floor to the next. placed inside capsules documents were propelled through tubes at speeds of up to forty kilometers per hour using compressed air. the capsule fits so snugly in the tube that no air can escape along the sides. air is sucked out of the tube in front of the capture of creating a suction that propels it. the hyperloop also relies on this concept it also moves through a tube after which nearly all of the air has been pumped. in this near vacuum the capsule is subject to very little friction is only a small amount of air remains in the sealed tube. just like in an airplane passengers would travel in a pressurized cabin that also contains am otherwise passengers wouldn't be able to breathe. removing most friction and air resistance would allow the hyperloop to travel a very high speed at twelve hundred kilometers per hour it could shuttle from paris to berlin in around an hour so far this is only theory our board wants to prove that it could work in practice. several years ago our born founded a company in los angeles is just one of a number of start. it's working on making the concept a reality. right now though it's little more than an idea. start up is looking for investors. potential investors are shown how hyperloop would work by way of models one of the main concepts is the principle of magnetics. magnets play an important role in two key aspects of the hyperloop actually the capsule floats with the help of magnets and magnets help propel it in the bottom of the capsule on the floor of the tube are both equipped with magnets. when the capsule moves across the floor of the tube it generates a magnetic field both magnets have a south and north pole. between south poles are facing each other because light poles repel each other the capsule floats. a kind of aluminum fin is used to propel the capsule the fin runs along a track made of magnetic coils these corals can be activated with electricity they then also generate a magnetic field along the element infin. the magnets in the track repel the capsule forms. and the entire council moves forwards through the tube. it's a complex technology and many questions have yet to be answered to why an out the kinks album startup is relying on a kind of swarm intelligence while the company does have a headquarters its staff is spread around the world and collaborate virtually. john donoghue from either going after i founded the company we gathered a small team we told them anyone who wants to be part of this and is willing to devote at least ten hours a week to the project let me know when. exchange will give you a share in the company in the form of company stock options always look we received about two hundred applications we selected just under one hundred engineers who are collaborating with us on a feasibility study has been done and i'm sure you go over to. the students from munich found a temporary workshop in los angeles where they can put together their part after transporting it to california. they still need to qualify for the run through the test track. that means putting the prototype through its paces to show they can handle the final round. as they start building the pod they realize that crucial parts are missing they were held up at constant without these parts they won't make the final round but there's still another week to go. other students working on the hyperloop as a hobby they don't get class credit for it or a salary. only the cost of the actual prototype is covered by sponsors such as air bus. and other students this is an investment in the future they want to be part of a dream designing the transporter of tomorrow. it's actually more a concept to be able have always had ideas for how to speed up travel people dream of making a quick trip to australia for dinner and returning home later that same evening to be able to transport yourself from one place to the next at will to shrink the world as it were even today we still have that dream. in eight hundred sixty seven the inventor elide beach had a similar dream he wanted to build an underground commuter car in new. york city that would use air pressure to put a line through a tube but the city would only authorize a pneumatic tube system for man not for people. he lie beach continued with his project in secret he was able to prove that the concept would work but the city still refused to authorize the system instead it opted for a different technology that could also operate above ground the railway for nearly a century it was the most important form of travel in industrialised west but the technology requires a great deal of infrastructure right away tracks signalling and control systems and railway stations. and eventually the automobile took over as the most important means of transport automobile manufacturers have become extremely powerful and they are loath to give up there are background. congested roads pollution and the cost of fuel have made cars less and less attractive. as a result automotive manufacturers are starting to come on board with new concepts. in the future mobility digitalisation and marketing that all go hand in hand. our car could fulfill our every desire even ones we can't yet imagine. these are there good evening isabel how are you right why you have retaliated to your vital signs alone and could maybe like a coffee kitesurfing i will help perk you up you know thanks the only way to dieter is will play through seven kilometers you'll be on time to mean it's too late for coffee don't feel right and then perhaps a bit of a drink or a protein shake ok that's full bloom in four q the problem in traffic is not usually the technology the technology is easily available the problem is people themselves and the question is how people use technology who wants to read a five hundred. it's common you will just so they know how to operate all of the systems that comes with. a semi autonomous driving systems that allow for a hands free driving are already on the road drivers are supposed to be ready to take over the steering well of the blink of an eye but many drivers don't take that seriously they posted videos of what they're doing on their journey online but when it comes to avoiding collisions the autopilot system on these cars can only handle a single scenario. that's not enough to handle complex traffic situations in may twenty sixteen the autopilot function on a tesla model s. caused an accident the driver didn't have his hands on the wheel and he was killed in the accident. and. joshua brown was the first fatality involving a south driving car. his car hit a tractor trailer without breaking the truck was visible for several seconds enough time for a driver to respond. normally the autopilot function scans the lane right in front of it if it attacks an obstacle on the road it activates the brakes this works well on motorways that have no cross traffic but the truck approached from an intersection. which has less camber lane but the trunk had such a large will base that the auto pilot registered the lane as intermittently empty the sensors did detect an intermittent obstacle but misidentified it as a traffic sign overhead. designs or would call the sensor technology and self driving cars today is mainly intended for highway operation as it can't provide a good over. view of what's happening in complex intersections and maybe it will never be ready for that and it will be concurrent one could do that it would need much greater detection capabilities it would need to detect and understand the cross traffic even before it becomes visible mere unfortunately drivers believe that the cars are already capable of all of that as we saw in the tesla accident. to sloan for them to us could psyched. in los angeles the team from munich has arrived at the competition site. lucas and his team mate thomas are checking out the competition. the last parts they needed for their own prototype were finally released by customs and they're ready for their first test. if they succeed they could make it to the final round of this competition. that. they never come that fast travel. or the our secret weapon is the compressor were one of the few teams using a compressor like this even though it sucks the residual air out of the chub. the partial vacuum in the chub has one one hundredth of regular atmospheric pressure or the burden of friction would slow down our pod as one to prevent that will suck the air out then we can travel faster without air resistance. the next step is attaching the magnets that were released by customs onto the prototype the part as. it's caught. your eyes. they are not big the dots with a magnet is used to make the pod float it's screwed on to the underside here as soon as the pod reaches one hundred eighty kilometers per hour it creates a lifting effect that lifts up the pod shocking news that you put on through. the test track is too short to accelerate the part on its own so it will get some help from a pusher cart that will get the part up to speed so that they can levitate. you. if the hyperloop becomes a reality it would be particularly useful in areas without much existing traffic infrastructure the fastest route from san francisco to los angeles takes you through the middle of a desert it's a six hour journey by car the only alternative right now is air travel. with a hyperloop the journey would take just thirty six minutes and the energy for the hyperloop could in theory be delivered by solar cells on the roof of the chub the energy generated by braking could also be stopped because i'm too strange that we completely entire system is completely eco friendly signboard but that's not simply because we wanted to be eco friendly card in mind that you can argue that securely when it comes to the field of alternative energy because of the true advantages become apparent when we deploy that alternative energy to our own advantage first and ones on fire so in our case we'd put solar cells on the route along the entire infrastructure like a lot of them of them infertile poor and languish quicker and so on in california we could generate all the energy we need and simply using solar power and argue for alignments all our op that's a concern of then there's also wind and kinetic energy in fort that would keep our operating costs so low that we'd be able to generate a profit. that was. the loans mortgages. and it is the hyperloop is a form of technology we could actually make happen today very undermine my home but there are also many other technological developments including in germany that might also have been feasible. to transfer a pita could have also worked on the it's not quite as fast but the technology already exists we've already seen an example that demonstrates that this technology is indeed feasible. as lawyer. was a high speed monorail system that used magnetic levitation it was developed in germany. a testing site for the transfer of paid went into operation in western germany in the mid one nine hundred eighty s. the transfer of p. didn't glide through a vacuum tube but it did use magnets for propulsion the maglev train had a top speed of four hundred twelve kilometers per hour faster than modern intercity express trains in your. concept of the twenty second two thousand and six in the middle of its test route the transfer repeat collided with a maintenance fare call that was mistakenly on the track twenty three people were killed and ten were injured. today the former test track lies in ruins after the accident the german trans repeat could no longer find an investor. however the system went into operation elsewhere in shanghai a maglev train went into public commercial service in two thousand and four. the answer pete for the angle is the trans repeat was ahead of its time it was one of the first systems of its kind and was regarded as a failure. to shunned bugs when you make a mistake you should use it as a learning experience and carry on from and from i feel i marked as a good time to start one for whatever reason that doesn't happen in germany and instead we always feel a kind of shame for our mistakes while failures you know usually means with a smile so yeah that's exactly the wrong approach mistakes are part of every development process and if i'm not willing to make mistakes i won't be able to build a better product coming your canvas was put on. when it comes to safety the hyperloop is still in its infancy. at the competition in los angeles the prototypes are tested for safety. but they're nowhere near ready to transport people. the pants are just enough technology to navigate their way through the tube. to students haven't yet attempted to build a pressurized cabin. pressurized cabin is the weak point if it were damaged the passengers would be exposed to the vacuum. it's kind of like the the airplane faster and and depressurisation problem amplified because you have no windows and if you do pressurizes you're definitely going to die so you need we need ways to mitigate those problems i think having a comfortable cabin that is space is the stuff to help deal with claustrophobia and there definitely need new safety systems to deal with the pressurization and emergency evacuation so that those are probably the need to stop. another challenge is the speed up to twelve hundred kilometers per hour can passengers even handle such high speeds. nowadays fighter jet pilots. can travel at speeds of up to three thousand kilometers per hour they train hard to handle the stress on their body and wear protective gear. the problem is not the high speed or such about the exhilaration and deceleration phases takeoff and landing but a major stress on the body. the hyperloop doesn't ascend and descend it again speed at an even pace and maintains that speed. for passengers it would probably feel much like a commercial airplane but it would certainly take some getting used to particularly because of the vacuum tube. i mean there was there is always some element of danger but that's all already the case with airplanes they aren't in a vacuum they also deal with low air pressure that we just have to try it's and then we continue to develop it it's a little safe. for example we could first use the system to transport freights so people wouldn't be at risk. then when we see the system the safe we could start to transport people. today international trade relies mainly on container ships. compared to the hyperloop there are believably slow large container ships have a top speed of just twenty three knots that's around forty two kilometers per hour . freight transport is already seriously overburdened and in the coming years the transport of goods is expected to rise by thirty eight percent. that's probably a bit of a problem with freight transport is that a system like the hyperloop would only be worthwhile for transporting goods for longer distances say three hundred kilometers and the kinds of goods that could transport would be very limited it wouldn't be able to reply. most freight transport neat because of its high speed it might make products easier to deliver over large distances but even that would do little to solve our overall problem when it comes to freight transport workers will be in kind of one solution. class of fraser can transport up to twenty thousand containers of one's hyperloop could only convey a single pint at a time. that's why transportation experts are investigating ways to use roads more efficiently in truck platooning several trucks travel in a column they're connected through why fire and respond in concert the first truck in the chain guides the other vehicles which save fuel by remaining in the slipstream. in theory passenger cars could join the convoys maintaining short intervals between vehicles that responsible tenuously could help prevent traffic jams. a driver in a passenger car would send out a request to join the convoy if the leader except the request it would assume control and handle steering for the new arrival. the car journey would be similar to a train ride with one important difference platooning relies on a functional wife i linkage. the benefits of platooning only emerge when a large number of cars are linked and could communicate with each other for that car manufacturers would still need to design a unified standard. at the german aerospace center in. scientists they're investigating the technology this would require. they are designing a car that could become a data center a kind of smartphone on wheels. g s m communication standards you m.t.s. and g.p.s. allow the vehicle to send and receive signals. the researchers want of a call to be able to independently communicate with it surroundings. could be a breakthrough a large step forward in ensuring safety in autonomous and driving vehicles. the scientists want the vehicles to communicate with each other and with their surroundings. for that to happen every element of the road traffic needs to speak the same language. the researchers have already put the first step into practice installing intelligent traffic lights in central bonafied. these traffic light signals are vehicles how long the light will remain green. the vehicle knows exactly when the traffic signal world turned red. early field studies have proved promising. in the future the vehicle will be able to identify where other road users are located in this highly linked environment the vehicles would also be able to identify pedestrians. there would be a continuous flow of data identifying everyone on the road. researchers believe this could make traffic much safer. i know is there to construct it one of the most promising projects for the future is networking to find this would allow vehicles to communicate with each other and allow us to continue to reduce the human factor what would you find so vehicles would be able to operate in harmony thanks to the use of algorithms for example they could agree among themselves how to join the flow of traffic doesn't think of doing we'll see this happening in the future and we'll see vehicles take over more and more functions in the end the main thing that disrupts the flow of traffic is people in for. in los angeles the competition is about to get underway it's the moment of truth for the students from munich. that haunt is getting ready to launch the tast track is one and a half kilometers long in theory the park could reach a speed of three hundred fifty kilometers per hour. most of the other teams have failed to pass the initial phase of the competition they won't be permitted to put their points to the final test. in some cases their technology wasn't sophisticated enough. other teams just couldn't get ready in time. but. in addition to the munich crew only two other teams have qualified for the final round. we've both got all the problem is that the space exposure car had a software failure something that's not working the way it's supposed to be with would put it over the phone so. if the pusher can't doesn't get the part up to speed it won't manage to levitate and magnets only function when the pod reaches a speed of one hundred eighty kilometers per hour. so moving we decided not to use the magnets after all because we're not getting fast enough for the pushcarts eleven states. and the magnets create a lot of drag him which would slow us down can be just so we're leaving them out for now and trying to be the fastest team very fast even if we're on the wheels. the team from the netherlands goes first that prototype is unusually sophisticated . but they also struggled to cope with a defective pusher caught in the acceleration isn't enough. the prototype from the netherlands comes to a halt half way down the road to. the next team is from mit the renowned massachusetts institute of technology. they're the favorites today everyone expects them to win. about that part also stops halfway. now the team from munich they wish the levitation would have worked but they're determined to still get as far as possible down the test track the amount of friction the pot generates in the chub will make all the difference. the rest is out of their hands. the prototype gets off to a good start. it's the only poet to reach the end of the tax structure. it's not quite the speed of sound but it's enough to win in the speed cash a great. pleasure on the floor it was a run of glory in winning one of the main prizes really just i'm speechless. it's really great. the prize for the fastest prototype goes to the team from munich. does the hyperloop standard chance in europe to lose is an important center of technology the city has a lively startup scene it's part of a french high tech initiative that provides support to innovative companies. now a research center is in planning which is intended to promote the development of a hyperloop in europe. as doctors are all part of his particularly interesting because we have shorter distances here than hyperloop system is perfect for distances where the travel time is around forty minutes to an hour that's especially interesting at a time in which europe seems to be falling apart a bit it's one way we could bring people together more becoming the new lloyd to matters i'm bringing. our band has signed a contract with the city of toulouse to establish his research center here even though his company has yet to build a functioning prototype. no decision has been reached whether france will venture to build a hyperloop network in a city like paris hyperloop would only be feasible if the station were easily accessible. but most cities already have a central railway station traffic routes to the outskirts of the city tend to be overburdened and congested. renewables. if we build something that takes you from los angeles to san francisco in thirty six minutes it's not all from paris to berlin in a little over an hour but it still takes an hour and a half to get to the station. then you haven't really changed anything that had to embalm of based on how miserable is your skin that. the hyperloop could only succeed evolve transport systems become more efficient and if the various means of transport are synchronised with each other. the hyperloop part belonging to the students from munich is on exhibition. it serves as inspiration for the next generation of students who will be taking over the concept. they'll be revising the design for the next round of the competition in los angeles. on their next outing the students want to make sure their part reaches the speed necessary to lever attacked. they're experimenting with ways to do without the pushing cart that was what failed during the first competition. but have a. bit of the solution could be another mode of propulsion a small and extremely lightweight electric motor that could propel the plant to the necessary levitation speed. the entire prototype can't weigh more than eighty kilos . or a pod itself needs to be slimmed down. in. the team decides in favor of a lightweight braking system that weighs just four kilos. is just one of many decisions they'll have to make and they're still working on a prototype. there's no telling when they'll be ready to build a fully functional vehicle. in many countries existing rail networks have already reached. city the t.g.v. in france has its own dedicated rel network in germany though the intercity express train share the tracks with regional and frank trains. when a regional train is delayed a can have a knock on effect across the entire country. rel way construction projects and shuttling bottlenecks are also a problem expanding the rail network is already costing billions but it's still less expensive than introducing an entirely new means of transport. in some times and in some places existing infrastructure has even been deliberately destroyed. los angeles is one of the most congested cities in the us the metropolitan region has a population of some eighteen million and the majority of its residents use cars for daily travel but this wasn't always the case through the one nine hundred fifty s. los angeles had a street car system that was very popular the tickets were cheap and connections were excellent people had no reason to buy an expensive car. but in one nine hundred sixty one the pacific electric long beach line shut down. the trolleys nicknamed the red cars had been a fixture in the city since one thousand no one. but they were slowly taken out of service after street cars on a track network were bought by another company. that company didn't want to operate the public transport it wanted to destroy it. a consortium of car manufacturers oil barons and tire companies was behind the move without the street cars locals had little choice they had to buy a car to this day the car is king in los angeles. well most if you look listen you really need to examine each city in detail to see what the problems are battled with large boats and it also depends on the people who live there they can have very different needs even within germany not really it was a goal that there are of course certain basic parameters those include the public transportation system personal transport options that will carry us into the next fifty years it's not like we all suddenly abandon our cars and rely entirely on public transport i mean there's no one size fits all concept or cities in the future i looked scared. even if it becomes a reality hyperloop will not be a one size fits all concept it would only be suitable for certain routes and wouldn't replace other means of transport. it would be an add on an additional option for a generation that's always online and wants it all for some companies danson appealing business model during the time that a customer spends in a hyperloop there's money to be made in this model the customer would not pay for the transport itself but rather for entertainment during the right the main mode of payment will be their own data are born and his team plan to take this model a step further they want to know exactly where everyone is traveling when and what their interests are that information would allow them to deliver a tailor made experience. to do that the passengers would have to give up their privacy. as a real harm concept and says that we have a concept called the naked passenger which will ultimately provide a seamless passenger experience. when i'm naked i have no wallet and i have no mobile phone and basically alone at my biometrics with service my id card i'll use my fingerprints for example to establish my identity so once i have my customer accounts in march i wouldn't need anything else. i'm for it makes me. is this the brave new world of transportation with just a click or a scan customers get everything they desire and in return they give up their personal data the hyperloop would take the online world and make it part of our physical existence. in the end this vision is likely to become a reality and not just for hyperloop users. digitalisation seems unstoppable. whether we are ready or not the mobility of the future looks set to be digital. earth. home to have species. a home worth saving. yes those are big changes and most start with small steps global one thousand years tell stories of creative people and innovative projects around the world. to use the term climate to stop

intelligent comfortable and autonomous class how we imagine the transport of tomorrow but is it really the automobile that will drive us into the future. one vision of a new mode of transportation seems promising the hyperloop a train capable of reaching the speed of sound while some say it's a crazy idea researchers and entrepreneurs from all over the world are working on making the hyperloop a reality. should we remain faithful to old concepts of mobility or embark on an uncertain future. los angeles the city of dreams is the birthplace of a vision that could revolutionize our speed of travel. the hyperloop. a train that races through a vacuum tube. the idea came from billionaire ilan musk he earned his fortune from online businesses today he makes electric cars and is designing a rocket for interplanetary travel. but he doesn't want to design the hyperloop himself. instead he decided to organize a competition for students from all over the world. so what this is really going to do is to. have a show interest for technology to get people excited about the trails or. things that may be. what we we see today. a team from munich our also taking part in the competition the students are determined to be involved in the mobility of the future. they're up against teams from all over the world which one of them will build the best hyperloop prototype. over four hundred student teams submitted by design the twenty seven best teams were invited to build their prototypes and compete against each other for the first time. for. students from the technical university of delft in the netherlands where the second european team to qualify for los angeles. all the others from europe were eliminated at an earlier stage it's hard to imagine that the transportation of the future might be born in this open air work shop there. around the world traffic is predicted to grab more and more people are traveling ever greater distances doing business and venturing to every corner of the globe but our transportation infrastructure is not designed for a society that is forever on the move. for michelle shack and bag this is a worrying development our expectations memory longer match the reality of what is feasible for our ever dwindling resources. you mention of our debt so people expect to be able to be mobile at all times which means being able to use their vehicle at any time they expect the infrastructure to be available and they expect the energy to be available to this has become our basic mentality and if this mobility becomes impossible we'll see problems that done in the future will have to live with the fact that resources are limited that you can only have misunderstood a source in trenton and. so many young people owning a car is no longer as important as it once was but rising prosperity and population growth mean that the number of cars continues to increase around the world. as a result our roadways are under strain and there is more and more road construction and congestion. statisticians we're city stickley speaking a car is parked twenty three hours a day that means it's an underutilized asset that i could invest in better somewhere else car sharing and public transport are better alternatives and there are various concepts but in the end what matters is whether people and drivers go along with these cars. it's. marked by these in concept. one of these concepts could be the hyperloop the idea isn't new the basic principle behind the hyperloop has been around for well over one hundred years it's based on a system of transport that was designs not for people but for letters and documents the pneumatic mail tube. in new york city a large network of new magic once connected entire districts. these tubes also delivered mail within buildings from one floor to the next. placed inside capsules documents were propelled through tubes at speeds of up to forty kilometers per hour using compressed air. to capture fit so snugly in the tube that no air can escape along the sides. air is sucked out of the tube in front of the capture of creating a suction that propels it. to. the hyperloop also relies on this concept it also moves through a tube out of which nearly all of the air has been pumped. in this near vacuum the capsule is subject to very little friction is only a small amount of air remains in the sealed tube. just like in an airplane passengers would travel in a pressurized cabin that also contains air otherwise passengers wouldn't be able to breathe. removing most friction and air resistance would allow the hyperloop to travel of very high speeds at twelve hundred kilometers per hour it could shuttle from paris to berlin around an hour so far this is only theory are born once to prove that it could work in practice. several years ago are born founded a company in los angeles is just one of a number of startups. working on making the concept a reality. right now though it's little more than an idea. on startup is looking for investors. potential investors are shown how a hyperloop would work by way of models one of the main concepts is the principle of magnetics. magnets plan important role in two key aspects of the hyperloop actually the capsule floats with the help of magnets and magnets help propel it at the bottom of the capsule on the floor of the tube are both equipped with magnets. when the capsule moves across the floor of the tube it generates a magnetic field both magnets have a south and north pole. between south poles are facing each other because light poles repel each other the capsule floats. a kind of aluminum fin is used to propel the capsule the fin runs along a track made of magnetic coils these coils can be activated with electricity they then also generate a magnetic field along the element in fin. the magnets in the track repel the capsule forms. and the entire capsule moves forwards through the tube. it's a complex technology and many questions of yet to be answered to why an out the kinks album startup is relying on a kind of swarm intelligence while the company does have a headquarters its staff is spread around the world and collaborate virtually. beyond on duty from either going after i founded the company we gathered a small team we told them anyone who wants to be part of this and is willing to devote at least ten hours a week to the project let me know when next. it will give you a share in the company in the form of company stock options all the talk we received about two hundred applications we selected just under one hundred engineers who are collaborating with us on a feasibility study has been done on the market would you object to. the students from munich found a temporary workshop in los angeles where they can put together their part after transporting it to california. they still need to qualify for the run through the test track. that means putting the prototype through its paces to show it can handle the final round. as they start building the part they realize that crucial parts are missing they were held up customs without these parts they won't make the final round but there's still another week to go. for the students working on the hyperloop as a hobby they don't get class credit for it or a salary. only the cost of the actual prototype is covered by sponsors such as air bus. and other students this is an investment in the future they want to be part of a dream designing the transport of tomorrow. it's actually more a concept to get people have always had ideas for how to speed up travel people dream of making a quick trip to australia for dinner and returning home later that same evening to be able to transport yourself from one place to the next at will to shrink the world as it were even today we still have that dream. nine hundred sixty seven the inventor eli beach had a similar dream he wanted to build an underground commuter car in new york. city that would use air pressure to collide through a tube but the city would only authorize a pneumatic tube system for a male not for people. to live beach continued with his project in secret he was able to prove that the concept would work but the city still refused to authorize the system instead it opted for a different technology that could also operate above ground the railway for nearly a century it was the most important form of travel in the industrialized west but the technology requires a great deal of interest right away track signalling and control systems and railway stations. eventually the automobile took over as the most important means of transport automobile manufacturers have become extremely powerful and they're loathe to give up their upper hand but congested roads pollution and the cost of fuel have made cars less and less attractive. as a result automotive manufacturers are starting to come on board with new concepts. in the future mobility digitalisation and marketing that all go hand in hand. our car could fulfill our every design even ones we can't yet imagine. these are there good evening isabel how are you right why you have retired as if your vital signs are low and maybe like a coffee and quite often i will help perk you up thanks the only way to dieter is will play through several kilometers you'll be on side to mean when it's too late for coffee don't feel right and then perhaps a bit of a drink or a protein shake ok just will blame him for the problem in traffic is not usually the technology the technology is easily available the problem is people themselves and the question is how people use technology to who wants to read a five hundred pages. the manual just so they know how to operate all of the systems that comes with. semi autonomous driving systems that allow a hands free driving are already on the road drivers are supposed to be ready to take over the steering well of the blink of an eye but many drivers don't take that seriously they posed the videos of what they're doing on their journey online but when it comes to avoiding collisions the autopilot system on these cars can only handle a single scenario. that's not enough to handle complex traffic situations in may twenty sixteen the autopilot function on a tesla model s. caused an accident the driver didn't have his hands on the wheel and he was killed in the accident and. joshua brown was the first fatality involving a south driving car and his car hit a tractor trailer without breaking the truck was visible for several seconds enough time for a driver to respond. normally the autopilot function scans the lane right in front of it if it attacks an obstacle on the road it activates the brakes this works well on motorways that have no cross traffic but the truck approached from an intersection. and. the chancellor scanned the lane but the trunk had such a large will base that the auto pilot registered the lane as intermittently empty the sensors did detect an intermittent obstacle but misidentified it as a traffic sign overhead. called the sensor technology and self driving cars today is mainly intended for highway operation as it can't provide a good overview. of what's happening in complex intersections and maybe it will never be ready for that and it will be concurrent and one could do that it would need much greater detection capabilities it would need to detect and understand the cross traffic even before it becomes visible merely unfortunately drivers believe that the cars are already capable of all of that as we saw in the tesla accident. to sloan for have just good sites. in los angeles the team from munich has arrived at the competition site. lucas and his team mate thomas are checking out the competition. the last parts they needed for their own prototype were finally released by customs and they're ready for their first test. if they succeed they could make it to the final round of this competition. ever come the first hurdle. for the home office our secret weapon is the compressor were one of the few teams using a compressor like this it sucks the residual air out of the chub. the partial vacuum in the chub has one one hundredth of regular atmospheric pressure or the wouldn't friction would slow down or part prevent that will suck the air out then we can travel faster without air resistance. to. the next step is attaching the magnets that were released by customs onto the prototype the part as it. out. there might be if the dots with a magnet is used to make the pot float it's screwed on to the other side here as soon as the pod reaches one hundred eighty kilometers per hour it creates a lifting effect that lifts up the pod bottom was put on through. the test track is too short to accelerate the part on its own so it will get some help from a push a cart that will get the part up to speed so that it can levitate. if the hyperloop becomes a reality it would be particularly useful in areas without much existing traffic infrastructure the fastest route from san francisco to los angeles takes you through the middle of a desert it's a six hour journey by car the only alternative right now is air travel. with a hyperloop the journey would take just thirty six minutes and the energy for the hyperloop could in theory be delivered by solar cells on the roof of the tube the energy generated by braking could also be stopped because on tuesday muslims will complete entire system is completely eco friendly signboard and that's not simply because we wanted to be eco friendly car they might even argue that securely when it comes to the field of alternative energy because of the true advantages become apparent when we deploy that alternative energy to our own advantage of those loans on fire so in our case we'd put solar cells on the route along the entire infrastructure like a lot of them in for sure and languish quicker and so on in california we could generate all the energy we need simply using solar power being ism and argue for paul alignments all our op that's who come to know then there's also wind and kinetic energy that's out in force that would keep our operating costs so low that we'd be able to generate a profit. dozens mukhlas years. and into the hyperloop is a form of technology we could actually make happen today where does condamine mushroom but there are also many other technological developments including in germany that might also have been feasible. the transfer of p.d. could have also worked on years not quite as fast but the technology already exists we've already seen an example that demonstrates that this technology is indeed feasible. just lawyer look on trippy was a high speed monorail system that used magnetic levitation it was developed in germany. a testing site for the transfer of paid went into operation in in western germany in the mid one nine hundred eighty s. the transfer of peat didn't glide through a vacuum tube but it did use magnets for propulsion the maglev train had a top speed of four hundred twelve kilometers per hour faster than modern intercity express trains in europe. on september twenty second two thousand and six in the middle of its test route the transfer appeared collided with a maintenance vehicle that was mistakenly on the track twenty three people were killed and ten were injured. today the former test track lies in ruins after the accident the german trans repeat could no longer find an investor. however the system went into operation elsewhere in shanghai a maglev train went into public commercial service in two thousand and four. the kentucky triangle is the trans repeat was ahead of its time it was one of the first systems of its kind and was regarded as a failure. dish under but when you make a mistake you should use it as a learning experience and carry on among the much fuel a martyr's good giant is focused on for whatever reason that doesn't happen in germany instead we always feel a kind of shame for our mistakes while failures you know usually in ones with us and i say yeah that's exactly the wrong approach mistakes are part of every development process if i'm not willing to make mistakes and i won't be able to build a better product than kind of your competitors but. when it comes to safety the hyperloop is still in its infancy. and the competition in los angeles the prototypes are tested her safety. but they're nowhere near ready to transport people. the pounds of just enough technology to navigate their way through the tube . the students haven't yet attempted to build a pressurized cabin. the pressurized cabin is the weak point if it were damaged the passengers would be exposed to the vacuum. it's kind of like being in the airplane faster and and depressurisation problem amplified because you have no windows and if you do pressurizes are definitely going to die so you need we need ways to mitigate those problems i think having a comfortable cabin that is spacious and stuff can help you with past phobia and there definitely need to be safety systems to deal with the pressurization and emergency evacuation so that those are probably the need to solve. another challenge is the speed up to twelve hundred kilometers per hour can passengers even handle such high speeds. nowadays fighter jet pilots can travel look speeds of up to three thousand kilometers per hour they train hard to handle the stress on their body and wear protective gear. the problem is not the high speed or such about the exoneration and deceleration phases takeoff and landing but a major stress on the body. the hyperloop doesn't ascend and descend it again speed as an even pace and maintains that speed. for passengers it would probably feel much like a commercial airplane but it would certainly take some getting used to particularly because of the vacuum tube. i mean because there is always some element of danger but that's all already the case with airplanes they aren't in a vacuum they also deal with low air pressure. we just have to try. and then we'll continue to develop it it's a little safe. for example we could first use the system to transport freight so people wouldn't be at risk. then when we see the system is safe we could start to transport people. and. today international trade relies mainly on container ships. compared to the hyperloop that unbelievably slow large container ships have a top speed of just twenty three knots that's around forty two kilometers per hour . for a transport is already seriously overburdened and in the coming years the transport of goods is expected to rise by thirty eight percent. that's probably a bit of a problem with freight transport is that a system like the hyperloop would only be worthwhile for transporting goods for longer distances say three hundred kilometers and the kinds of goods that could transport would be very limited it wouldn't be able to replace most freight transport need because of its high speed it might make product easier to deliver over large distances but even that would do little to solve our overall problem when it comes to freight transport like us will be in kind of resolution. class or fright or can transport up to twenty thousand containers and once hyperloop could only convey a single pint at a time. that's why transportation experts are investigating ways to use roads more efficiently in truck platooning several trucks travel in a column that connected through why fire and respond in concert the first truck in the chain guides the other vehicles which save fuel by remaining in the slip stream . in theory past. injured cars could join the convoys maintaining short intervals between vehicles that responsible tenuously could help prevent traffic jams. a driver in a passenger car would send out a request to join the convoy and if the leader exempts the request it would assume control and handle steering for the new arrival. the car journey would be similar to a train ride with one important difference platooning relies on a functional wife i linkage. the benefits of paternity only emerge when a large number of cars are linked and can communicate with each other for that car manufacturers would still need to design a unified standard. at the german aerospace center in branch five scientists are investigating the technology this would require. they are designing a car that could become a data center a kind of smartphone on wheels. j s m communication standards u.m.t. s. and g.p.s. allow the vehicle to send and receive signals. the researchers want the vehicle to be able to independently communicate with its surroundings. could be a breakthrough a large step forward in ensuring safety in autonomous and driving vehicles. the scientists want the vehicles to communicate with each other and with their surroundings. for that to happen every element of the road traffic needs to speak the same language. the researchers have already put the first step into practice installing intelligent traffic lights in central by. the. traffic light signals of a cause how long the light will remain green. the vehicle knows exactly when the traffic signal world turn red. early film studies have proved promising. in the future the vehicle will be able to identify where other road users are located in this highly linked environment the vehicles would also be able to identify pedestrians. and there would be a continuous flow of data identifying everyone on the road. researchers believe they're screwed my traffic much safer. i know is there to construct it one of the most promising projects for the future is networking to find this would allow vehicles to communicate with each other when allow us to continue to reduce the human factor what would you find sort of vehicles would be able to operate in harmony thanks to the use of algorithms for example they could agree among themselves how to join the flow of traffic and bring a day when we'll see this happening in the future and we'll see vehicles take over more and more functions in the end the main thing that disrupts the flow of traffic is people in four q. assured them and. in los angeles the competition is about to get underway it's the moment of truth for the students from munich. that haunt is getting ready to launch the tast track is one and a half kilometers long in theory the park could reach a speed of three hundred fifty kilometers per hour. most of the other teams have failed to pass the initial phase of the competition they won't be permitted to put their points to the final test. in some cases their technology wasn't sophisticated enough. other teams just couldn't get ready in time. but. in addition to the munich crew only two other teams have qualified for the final round. live with it all the problem is that the space exposure car had a software failure something that's not working the way it's supposed to be with with the design so. if the pusher can't doesn't get the part up to speed it won't manage to levitate the magnets only function when the pod reaches a speed of one hundred eighty kilometers per hour. so moving we decided not to use the magnets after all because we're not getting fast enough for the pushcarts eleven states. and the magnets create a lot of drag him which would slow it down starting so we're leaving them out for now and trying to be the fastest team very fast even if we're on the wheels of. if. the team from the netherlands goes first their prototype is unusually sophisticated. but they also struggled to cope with a defective push a cart the acceleration isn't enough. the prototype from the netherlands comes to a halt halfway down the road to. the next team is from mit the renowned massachusetts institute of technology. they're the favorites today everyone expects them to win. that part also stops halfway. through. and now the team from munich are up they wish the levitation would have worked but they're determined to still get as far as possible down the test track the amount of friction the pot generates in a chub will make all the difference. the rest is out of their hands. the prototype gets onto a good start. it's the only part to reach the end of the test track. is not quite the speed of sound but it's enough to win the speed category. but the wrong door it was a run of glory when one of the main prizes really just i'm speechless. it's really great. the prize for the fastest prototype goes to the team from munich. in. just the hyperloop standard chance in europe to lose is an important center of technology the city has a lively startup scene it's part of a french high tech initiative that provides support to innovative companies. now a research center is in planning which is intended to promote the development of a hyperloop in europe. particularly interesting because we have shorter distances here than hyperloop system is perfect for distances where the travel time is around forty minutes to an hour that's especially interesting at a time in which europe seems to be falling apart a bit it's one way we could bring people together more becoming the new order matters ambling. our band has signed a contract with the city of toulouse to establish his research center here even though his company has yet to build a functioning prototype. no decision has been reached whether france will venture to build a hyperloop network in a city like paris hyperloop would only be feasible if the station were easily accessible. but most cities already have a central railway station traffic routes to the outskirts of the city tend to be overburdened and congested. renewables. if we build something that takes you from los angeles to san francisco in thirty six minutes it's not all from paris to berlin in a little over an hour but it still takes an hour and a half to get to the station. then you haven't really changed anything that had to come in bomb of best done how miserable is just and that. the hyperloop could only succeed if all transport systems become more efficient and if the various means of transport are synchronized with each other. the hyperloop part belonging to the students from munich is on exhibition. it serves as an inspiration for the next generation of students who will be taking over the concept that they'll be revising the design for the next round of the competition in los angeles. on their next outing the students want to make sure their part reaches the speed necessary to level tact that. they're experimenting with ways to do without the pushing cart that was what failed during the first competition i would. have. understood that the solution could be another mode of propulsion a small and extremely lightweight electric motor that kirk propel the plant to the necessary levitation speed. the entire prototype can't weigh more than eighty kilos . so a part itself needs to be slimmed down. and. the team decides in favor of a lightweight braking system that weighs just four kilos. is just one of many decisions they'll have to make and they're still working on a prototype. there's no telling when they'll be ready to build a fully functional vehicle. in many countries existing round networks have already reached. city. the t.g.v. in france has its own dedicated rel network in germany though the intercity express train share the tracks with regional and freight trains. when a regional train is delayed it can have a knock on effect across the entire country. construction projects and shuttling bottlenecks are also a problem expanding the realm that work is already costing billions but it's still less expensive than introducing an entirely new means of transport. in some times and in some places existing infrastructure has even been deliberately destroyed. los angeles is one of the most congested cities in the us the metropolitan region has a population of some eighteen million and the majority of its residents use cars for daily travel but this wasn't always the case through the one nine hundred fifty s. los angeles had a street car system that was very popular tickets were cheap and connections were excellent people had no reason to buy an expensive car. but in one nine hundred sixty one the pacific electric long beach line shut down. the trolleys nicknamed the red cars had been a fixture in the city since ninety no one. but they were slowly taken out of service after street cars on the track network were bought by another company. that company didn't want to operate the public transport it wanted to destroy it. a consortium of car manufacturers oil barons and tire companies was behind the move without the street cars locals had little choice they had to buy a car to this day the car is king in los angeles. one more secure glitch you really need to examine each city in detail to see what the problems are that will live once and it also depends on the people who live there they can have very different needs even within germany not really because the goal of there are of course certain basic parameters those include the public transportation system and personal transport options that will carry us into the next fifty years it's not like we all suddenly abandon our cars and rely entirely on public transport i mean there's no one size fits all concept of cities in the future. even if it becomes a reality hyperloop will not be a one size fits all concept it would only be suitable for certain routes and wouldn't replace other means of transport. it would be an add on an additional option for a generation that is always online and wants it all for some companies dance and appealing business model during the time that a customer spends in a hyperloop there's money to be made in this model the customer would not pay for the transport itself but rather for entertainment during the right the main mode of payment will be their own data out on and his team plan to take this model a step further they want to know exactly where everyone is travelling when and what their interests are that information would allow them to deliver a tailor made experience. to do that the passengers would have to give up their privacy. as a real harm concept and it we have a concept called the naked passenger which will ultimately provide a seamless passenger experience. when i'm naked i have no wallet and i have no mobile phone and basically alone at my biometrics would serve as my id card i'd use my fingerprints for example to establish my identity so once i have my customer accounts in march i wouldn't need anything else. for next mail. is this the brave new world of transportation with just a click or a scan customers get everything they desire and in return they give up their personal data the hyperloop would take the online world and make it part of our physical existence. in the end this vision is likely to become a reality and not just for hyperloop users. digitalisation seems unstoppable. whether we are ready

>> reporter: let's keep in mind president trump thinks he is his own best messenger and when he hears news about him he doesn't like he calls it fake news and takes to twitter and sets his own narrative. we saw eight hours of attacking tweets yesterday. start with the potential second whistleblower. no surprise he took this on. he has been trying to discredit the first whistleblower the last two weeks. in a tweet yesterday he said the following. of course shifty there is refer to adam schiff. this sets a completely different narrative. first of all, we know that first whistleblower does line up with that conversation that we have seen that the white house, itself, released. as you said, boris, this potential second-hand whistleblower we have already heard has firsthand information. tht anoth this is another example of the president setting it up to discredit him before he comes forward. not july the whistleblower but senators from his own party, mitt romney. i want to state again this is a vulgar tweet we are about to pull up here. it says -- obviously r's is republicans. i just want to make something clear here. the president is sending a serious message to members of his own party. if you go against me, if you stand up to me i will not only just attack you but try to hue ma -- humiliate and discredit you. >> to discuss all of this, we have a special panel of guests here. the cnn dream team of analysts. >> wow! >> the cnn squad! >> i guess that makes me christian laettner or something? >> no, no, no! >> so much talent! >> christian laettner, like, no. i'm a fab five kind of one. christian laettner? >> chris mullen, maybe? >> we will move on. we have white house correspondent and american urban radio network white accordance april ryan. we have got cnn political commentators former south carolina state representative sellers and angela ryan and former mayor of tallahassee, florida, andrew gillum. thank you all for joining us. we have to start with these tweets about mitt romney. april, i'll fight the urge to ask you about the president put ass in quotation marks and instead focus on the message he is trying to send to other republicans. >> over the last couple of days, we have watched this president spiral out of control. ass in quotes or not in quotes, bottom line it's vulgar and not presidential. he feels the heat. he is feeling this is something he can't walk away from any more. like we said earlier, he has made statements that are on tape. bottom line he knows there are republicans who are saying, sir, you made a mistake, even the white house staff is trying to figure out how to handle this. this is worse than what we saw with bill clinton. it's worse than what we saw with nixon. i believe impeachment will happen but the question is will the republicans in the senate break with this president? i'll tell you the equation i see, boris. if the the president's numbers decline will you will see them throwing him under the bus as fast as they can if the poll numbers start going down on his approval rating and the impeachment numbers go up. not over 50%. >> i think is probably true -- >> it is true. >> -- for a few u.s. senators and i can think four of them, republicans who find themselves in quite frankly, a pretty race in 2010. the house, unfortunately, the by-product of what is happening at the state level. you have so many of these republican members of congress who are, quite frankly, in republican districts that is it incident matter what the president does. >> true. >> they are going to have his back. if you're one of those members of congress you're very loathe to go against this president. in your home district your members are standing with him. >> let me ask you this. >> this is about a person, not the country that keeps talking about impricpatriotism. what happens here is not patriotism. it's obstruction of justice and bribery and demeaning the oath of office and demeaning the office plus. >> but listen. >> something we want to able to make to them. unfortunately, it is not breaking through for too many members -- >> we did see some people coming out. tucker carlson is actually talking against the president but bigger than that, listen. we have senator susan collins. i know, i know. senator susan collins, senator susan collins said -- >> she needs to! >> she said the following. he is the one person has not attacked. why it is notable that the people he has attacked on twitter in the last 24 hours, she came out and said this. he has not gone after her. why? >> let me say it's a very, very low bar of expectation. i give absolutely no credit to tucker carlson. >> thank you. >> i give very little to no credit to susan collins. >> none. >> i find myself in this little category of thinking that mitt romney may have courage and i realize who mitt romney is. i think we are -- as people get dressed this morning and go to church, we have to say prayers that individuals who are serving this country have offices of public service actually get some testicular fortitude or get some courage. it's going to take more than i'm troubled and it's going to be take more than mitt romney accepteding a tweet out. we somebody to take the well of the united states senate and say president of the united statest stand for. i have a 14-year-old daughter who is more responsible on social media than donald trump is. okay? that says a lot to me. >> i think the bigger issue is that it's not just what donald trump is tweeting. i think it's also how he became the commander in chief. the fact that mitch mcconnell still won't consider election security bills. like, we could be on this impeachment inquiry issue but until we deal with the case at hand which is the attack on democracy overall, there is no fairness in this land and no democracy. we have to deal with all of the issues at the same time. i think that the country would say walk and chew gum. >> this impeachment inquiry potentially making democrats vulnerable because a lot of democrats in purpose areas and purple districts that are feeling the heat when they go back home and go to these town halls and get yelled at. we have a sound bite from johanna hays from connecticut. listen to what she talked about hearing from the issues she is hearing from constituents over impeachment. >> i know coming out for impeachment makes me incredibly fragile. . in my district 50.1 and i could lose the seat because of the decision i made but it's worth it. >> at the end of the day, is it worth it? >> yeah, it is worth it. by the way, i did not -- i think this is a republican -- that they want out there to terrify the vulnerable democrats by saying if you get out there and do this you go against the president you'll lose your seat. >> they get yelled at. they are saying -- >> nobody was in -- >> but it's happened on both sides. republican members, you've seen some of the senators as they have held town hall meetings in their respective districts being asked these questions. i would prefer my elected official to be on the side of the constitution. i would prefer my elected official to be on the side of we don't go and ask foreign governments to intrude in domestic united states elections. if you're a republican and nerve to stand up saying you're with the president who stands against the country? good luck with that message. i don't think voters have to agree with you 100% every step of the way but they do need to know you have some sense of a moral compass. >> i want to go to florida and compare congresswoman haze to marco rubio and i did this for you, andrew. >> just for you. >> what we saw as if you strip away the d and the r from these two individuals, we saw someone who put country over party. this isn't a question over budget constraints or not a question or foreign policy or what your country stands for. what she did is courageous. marco rubio flailing in the wind saying i believe it's a ploy or the president wants attention when we are talking about whether or not ukraine and china can delve into our -- listen. i know that donald trump has perverted the term patriotism. people are confusing that all the time. people don't understand and many republicans are not even representing what it means to be american. >> we want to get to this next segment so we have take a break. stay with us. the panel is staying here as well -- the cnn squad. here is the thing. who killed the key witness in the murder trial of former dallas police officer amber guyger? w we know this witness was shot dead yesterday. plus, pope francis may have a big decision that could end hundreds of years of tradition in the catholic church. where the church is considering allowing married men to become priests. that's what happens in golf nothiand in life.ily. i'm very fortunate i can lean on people, and that for me is what teamwork is all about. you can't do everything yourself. you need someone to guide you and help you make those tough decisions, that's morgan stanley. they're industry leaders, but the most important thing is they want to do it the right way. i'm really excited to be part of the morgan stanley team. i'm justin rose. we are morgan stanley. yof your daily routine.lf so why treat your mouth any differently?

>> reporter: well, listen. this is shaping up to be a very contentious three-week meeting here. as you say, it was called to discuss environment issues and issues affecting the indigenous people in the amazon but on the table is to allow some married men in the community to be ordained as priests because a shortage of priests in the region. this is a change to the unstanding tradition. it's calling an outcry to the people here. they are having vigils and praying and protesting for the outcome of this meeting. we have soon another type of protest from a different group and that is catholic women's groups and nuns who are protesting the fact that women do not have a vote at this meeting. there will be 185 men, priests and bishops, who will be voting. 35 women, including nuns, who are participating but they don't have the right to vote. we have seen a lot of activity. the meeting has not gotten under way and starts tomorrow and it's behind closed doors so we will have to wait for the end of the three weeks to see how they vote and even when they vote, they are only making recommendations to the pope. it's pope francis that has to decide in the end what, if any, changes he is going to make. >> thank you so much. fox news host tucker carlson calls out the president's phone call with ukraine's president saying, quote, there is no way to spin this as a good idea. there's my career... my cause... and creating my dream home. i'm a work in progress. so much goes into who i am. hiv medicine is one part of it. prescription dovato is for adults who are starting hiv-1 treatment and who aren't resistant to either of the medicines dolutegravir or lamivudine. dovato has 2 medicines in 1 pill to help you reach and then stay undetectable. so your hiv can be controlled with fewer medicines while taking dovato. you can take dovato anytime of day with food or without. don't take dovato if you're allergic to any of its ingredients or if you take dofetilide. if you have hepatitis b, it can change during treatment with dovato and become harder to treat. your hepatitis b may get worse or become life-threatening if you stop taking dovato. so do not stop dovato without talking to your doctor. serious side effects can occur, including allergic reactions, liver problems, and liver failure. life-threatening side effects include lactic acid buildup and severe liver problems. if you have a rash and other symptoms of an allergic reaction, stop taking dovato and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis b or c. don't use dovato if you plan to become pregnant or during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy since one of its ingredients may harm your unborn baby. your doctor should do a pregnancy test before starting dovato. use effective birth control while taking dovato. the most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, nausea, trouble sleeping, and tiredness. so much goes into who i am and hope to be. ask your doctor if starting hiv treatment with dovato is right for you. we're proving the new keurig k-duo brewer makes any occasion the perfect coffee occasion. breakfast in bed! just add ground coffee for a carafe, or pop in a pod for a freshly brewed cup. exactly how i like my coffee. you've got your carafe. i've got my light roast. we're brewing the love. yof your daily routine.lf so why treat your mouth any differently?
