strikes but secretary carter indicated he might revisit the topic. >> if you don't remember anything else i've said today you should realize that the strategy matches the complexity. this is not a simple situation by any sense in the world. >> he conceded syria is he an even tougher challenge because of what he called a lack of letting government and the faction he on the ground, the u.s. has failed to trainl train a single i.s.i.l. fighter there. to use his words we got to pick a partner there. >> bill is no longer a tropical storm but it is still a form daniel weather system. flood warnings are in place in four states tonight. the forecast calls for continued downpours in texas oklahoma,

of rain in that short period of time. >> at least a foot and a half higher. the water has gone down tremendously. >> this morning eugene a lifelong resident of el campo rushed to his daughter's house to rescue her and her family from rising floodwaters. >> did they have to get out quickly? >> yes, when i got here i told my son-in-law i said look at my running boards on my truck. they ran in got their clothes about ten minutes come back i said now look at the water. he said we better hurry. >> luckily the floodwaters narrowly missed their home but emotions ran deep. >> it's rough means a lot to everybody, of course my family is very important so i got to make sure that everybody is safe and everybody's sound. >> down the road, sloane's yard has turned into a small lake. >> we could probably go fishing here. it's never this high.

>> but it's nowhere near the devastation that struck central texas three weeks ago. dozens were flooded several washed away, more than a dozen died during the deadly round of memorial day storms. this time no lives have been lost but texas governor greg abbott warned rents to remain vigilant. >> this is not over. there are more symptoms to come, there could be potential tornadoes. people need to be alert for the issue of rising water people do not drive into rising water. >> eugene hoping the worst is over. >> we don't know what it's going to do the rest of the night. hopefully it is not going to be as bad as it has been. >> the flash flood watch has been extended to 5:00 a.m. we understand that other parts of the state are experience being severe weather rain cells are moving through southeast

oklahoma border, dallas and fort worth, i don't think you'll be seeing too much in the way of rain. but down here in the south these rain bands have been pushing through and very heavy rain one to two inches of rain per hour coming out of there. we're going to be watching through oklahoma through the night and tomorrow because we're going to be seeing very heavy rain e-rain showers here, the ground is already saturated flooding is going to be a big problem and up towards friday up here in missouri is where we think the biggest issues is going to be. >> thank you kevin. smartphones, security, could allow hackers to access all parts of the information.

>> an update now on our top story.

a shooting at a church in charleston, south carolina. it happened in the city's downtown area, there are unconfirmed reports of upon casualties. so far police have said that only shots were fired. white male, clean shaven 21 years old wearing a gray sweatshirt and jeans. it is believed he is still on the loose. we know there was a bible study group meeting at the church tonight but we don't know if that was remitted. police teams are over the area. the fcc says at&t deliberately slowed down customers with unlimited data plans. john terret is here. john what is at&t accused of doing? >> reporter: hey antonio let me say you can't buy these

unlimited data plans anymore if you go into an at&t store and ask for an unlimited plan, they will look at you blankly because they suspended them in 2011. maybe if you inheritsomeone's plan when they died, you were grand fathered into a new unlimited scheme back in 2011. the only thing is the fcc says it runs out and slows down called throttling. very very annoying. people were phoning up at&t saying we can't stream what's going on, and at&t said, you have unlimited data, they said but we can't stream what's happening? stat says, you have unlimited

data. so fcc is proposing fining them $100 million. >> and people don't like these unlimited pladgesz. plans. >> the problem is they're losing money because if they were today to begin selling unlimited plans, you would get a fixed fee and unlimited data, in the modern way of thinking, it does run out you get a lot of data but a finite amount, and then when you go over they can increase their fee they charge you and that improves their bottom line a lot. >> what's the result? >> fcc, as you can see here, they're not pulling their purchase very much. they say unlimited means unlimited but now here is at&t fighting back. they say we'll vigorously dispute the fcc's assertion is,

we've been fully transparent with our customers providing notice in multiple ways and going well beyond the fcc's disclosure requirements. here is what they mean. they've been sending e-mails and texts to customers saying they have gone beyond their unlimited data. and this is what happened to one of our producers telling her she's going over her data and will be required to pay more which you can imagine she's not happy about. last year the fcc find at&t for another reason, this time the fcc said that the data on the internet for millions of americans was very, very slow, in fact, at dial-up speed for about 12 days out of every month. and all of this comes at a very poor time for at&t because they're trying to convince the regulators right now to let them buy the nation's largest satellite channel directv for

$48 million. they're not taking it lining down. >> okay, thank you john. a major ruling in california could impact the ride sharing service uber. the state labor commission says the company should classify the driver as an employee not as an independent contractor. the service has long provided benefits or paying payroll taxes for drivers. uber plans to appeal the california ruling and a similar one in florida. experts say the ruling could impact other companies that use similar sharing applications. bad news for millions of samsung smartphone users. a new report shows more than 600 million of the company's mobile devices including the popular galaxy f-6 are vulnerable to a security breach. allowing hackers to seize control of the entire device including intercepting incoming and outgoing calls and messages.

drew mitnick joins us tonight from san francisco. drew good to see you. an awful lot of people could be affectby this. how big a problem could this be for those hundreds of millions of possible victims? >> yeah, that's right. these phones are everywhere, you see them everywhere in the street and many of us have these devices that were affected. i think lesson is companies need to be very effective they need to not only discover these breaches but ensure they take necessary steps to fix the devices. >> talking about the necessary steps, samsung new there knew there was a problem as far back as november of last year. why didn't they let customers know about it? >> it's complicated. there are a lot of companies involved, there is the company that makes the software, samsung and carriers, so it's a coort

aren'tedcoordinated effort. sam sunday gave themselves a certain time frame to fix problem and they didn't end up fixing it and the information was affectindicating it was affecting a lot of people. the important thing is we support the researchers who are doing this kind of work and we ensure when they are able to report the vulnerabilities to the company the company takes the time and respects the research. >> is there any way to know whether your smartphone has been compromised? >> there doesn't appear to be a great way to figure that out yet. that's the concern. we need to ensure that we are developing processes to quickly address these flaws in the devices. >> aside from this particular case aren't all smartphones susceptible to hacking anyway and are phones that run android operating systems like the

samsung's more vulnerable than iphone? >> they are not necessarily more or less vulnerable than iphones but there are some precautions that users can take. taking steps like ensuring encryption is activated two-step things to ensure that your be phone doesn't need just a password. there are a lot of steps that we can all take even though our devices may have flaws in them that can give us a little bit of peace of mind. >> what's the upside for hackers? >> well the upside is they potentially have access to all kinds of personal information and there's a lot an individual hacker ask do if they are interested in gaining access to our personal information. it's not just about an individual that's interested in committing crime but also the government the government facilitates these vulnerabilities they conduct surveillance and they hoard

vulnerabilities that are not yet known. they can facilitate surveillance -- >> samsung has been approved by the government for government employee use. >> it's not just any individual user it's everyone. it's government, it's nongovernment. so i just think that goes to show how critical it is for the government to really support strong security settings and for the government thought to undermine settings and for the government to take skirt very security very seriously. >> drew mit96, thank you very much. we'll be examine a case where dea agents killed innocent civilians then left the scene.

co-signed by 57 other representatives from both sides of the aisle. >> are you concerned that there is a lack of accountability at dea? >> our war on drugs has been a complete failure here at home and now we're starting to see the effect of that drug war south of our borders and how it has negatively impacted honest law abiding citizens who have nothing to do with the drug trade but yet they get caught up in america's war on drugs. >> a dea surveillance plane actually captured the entire incident on video. that video has never been shown to the public. we spoke to one person who's seen it, a congressional staffer who said it is shot from high altitude and it's too dark and murky to confirm the dea's version of events. back in may we asked the state department for an update on their investigation and were told they couldn't comment on
