welcome to "around the world." i'm suzanne malveaux. >> and i'm michael holmes. thanks for your company. >> an arizona mother of seven back in court in mexico today to face drug charges. her family says she was framed. for now, she is stuck in a mexican jail while a judge is going to decide her fate. >> mexican authorities accuse her of trying to smuggle marijuana. now, family members say that is absurd. they say she doesn't even smoke or drink. our rafael romo is following developments for us in mexico. this is the prison in mexico where she's been held since friday. the american citizen who's accused of trafficking marijuana is being held in a temporary cell isolated from the general population in prison. >> translator: the family is very sad. they know she's innocent. she's a mother of seven and a decent woman. she's a christian. this is an injustice.

>> the 41-year-old and her husband, gary, were stopped by soldiers last wednesday at this military checkpoint as they traveled by bus in mexican state of sonora. authorities say they found 12 pounds of marijuana underneath her seat, but the family says the couple was returning from a family funeral and suspect she was framed. >> translator: it's not true. she didn't do that. i know my mother. she goes to church regularly. i know her. she's a good woman. >> her trial started tuesday. since there's no trial by jury in mexico, her fate is in the hands of a judge who will ultimately issue a verdict based on the evidence presented by both the prosecution and the defense. >> it's been tough, but she seems to be strong and holding up. she's not happy where she's at.

she's hoping to be free of these false accusations against her. >> an official with knowledge of the case told cnn that it was highly unlikely that anybody can board a bus with almost six kilos of marijuana completely unnoticed. the official who spoke on condition of anonymity suggests maldonado might have been framed. >> an update now on the court hearing. rafael romo is on the line from nogales in new mexico. rafael. >> hey, michael. we are actually right outside the prison here in nogales, mexico, where she's being held. she's been here since friday after she was detained last wednesday on a road here in northern new mexico. the hearings are continuing today. we understand a military official who actually made the detention last wednesday is going to testify today. and just so you get an idea, she

is not attending her own hearings. the prison complex where she is being held, essentially a state prison, is about seven miles away from the actual courthouse. at the courthouse they will be -- her husband, some members of the family and also the soldiers who made the detention last wednesday. but she's here in sort of limbo situation. she's not officially a federal inmate, but she's being housed in a state prison because there are no federal prisons in this part of mexico, michael. >> and, rafael, do we know what kind of conditions that she's living in under now? you said she is in fact in some sort of holding cell there. do we know how long that they would keep her? >> they are going to wait until the hearings are done, suzanne. she is in temporary cell by herself. she is not with the general population.

this is in the women section of the jail. and we are expecting that some sort of ruling will be issued on friday, but in the meantime she will remain here. again, she's not attending her own hearings. >> all right. rafael, keep us up-to-date on this. appreciate it. obviously the family very concerned about what's going to happen next. we are also watching this. this is a deadly new virus in saudi arabia now killed somebody in france. the world health organization saying this is a threat to the entire world. >> that's exactly the language they were using. it's called the middle east respiratory system corona virus. 27 people have died from it already. what it does is sort of comes on like a cold and then attacks the respiratory system. it can lead to pneumonia and eventually kidney failure. >> joining us from abu dhabi, leone, how does one get this? how does one contract this

virus? what do we know about the people who have it now? >> so far, suzanne, we've got 49 cases worldwide reported by the w.h.o., 27 deaths. one of the main issues is no one really knows how this virus is spreading. doctors are basically treating the symptoms, whether it's a cold, pneumonia, all the respiratory diseases. the majority of them have ended in very severe complications. and they're saying it's very difficult to prevent future infections because they don't really know how it's being spread exactly. having said that, we spoke to a w.h.o. representative, and he said one of the main concerns is a high fatality rate. and this is what he had to say. >> we don't know how it spread. this is the -- one of the big pieces of the puzzle. as you said at the beginning of your remarks before i came on air, this is of grave concern to us here internationally and w.h.o. because there are so many unknowns around the virus which so far has killed 55% of the

confirmed cases. we would believe the virus has a reservoir somewhere in the animal world, but we don't know which animal. and then we don't know if the virus transmits directly from animals to humans or via intermediaries. we need to find out this and a lot of other information. >> earlier this month the w.h.o. did verify some human-to-human transmission in saudi arabia between health care workers who were in very close contact with patients. sdp if that is what they're concerned about right now. and that of course has some very worrying consequences, suzanne and michael. >> yeah. leone, how then are they going to work to try to contain it? it's called the middle east virus for a region, it is originating there and the gentleman who died in france actually had been in dubai. what are they doing to try to lock it down, fight it? >> that's one of the issues, michael. i mean, the w.h.o. says, you know, we don't want to like put a region on it, but in this case

it's acceptable because all the cases so far have originated in the middle east. the majority in saudi arabia, more than half the cases were in saudi arabia, 18 deaths at least in saudi arabia. so right now they're trying to just contain whatever they can within those regions, saudi arabia specifically covering their mouths, covering the patients, try to quarantine them, but until they know exactly how it spreads, it's going to be very difficult to contain. they're just trying to locate the actual cases. you've got saudi arabia, qatar, possibly tunisia, now spreading to europe with france -- a case in the u.k. and germany because of travelers, but they can't really confirm that was the cause. that's the main issue, michael. >> leone, quick here, are there any travel warnings because it's specific to that area not to travel in that area or to be particularly cautious? >> there haven't been any travel warnings yet, suzanne. the cases in europe were still isolated cases, just minimal

amount. here in the uae they're trying to say, look, erg's normal, there's nothing to worry about. they're saying similar kinds of cases in the rest of the gulf. the main issue has been saudi arabia, the eastern region. there hasn't been any travel warnings yet, but people are watching saudi arabia very closely. and w.h.o. officials have flown into saudi arabia in the past month to monitor the situation there. so we'll just have to wait and see how that progresses, suzanne. >> all right. leone, thank you so much. michael, when they say grave -- when you're talking about the w.h.o., grave, that is something to keep your eye on. >> yaeah. it's only 27 deaths, but that's a 55% i think death rate, which means this thing's deadly once you get it. it's pretty savage. hopefully they can work out whoo they're dealing with. coming up on "around the world," chinese cyber spies threatening the u.s. military security. the pentagon says they stole plans for new weapons. >> and beyonce's backside

afghan insurgents have attacked the international red cross, this is in ja lal bad. officials say a suicide bomber walked into the office and blew himself up. >> he had company too. two more assailants then rushed into the building immediately after and there was a gun battle. it went on for some time. officials tell us three people were killed including two attackers, one afghan security guard who was working for the red cross. rebel troops are accusing the opposition coalition in istanbul of failing to represent the syrian revolution. >> a joint statement was put out on facebook, elements of the rebel forces saying the operation is "impotent to carry out the duties entrusted to them." >> let's bring in christiane

amanpour, i have to say, that's pretty strong language. you have the united states and russia pushing for this meeting next month in geneva, some sort of peace accord if they can, but if you've got rebels who aren't even united themselves, how does that complicate the situation? >> well, massively. i mean, really no one knows whether this summit is going to go ahead, and who exactly is going to go. i spoke yesterday to the russian ambassador here to the united nations who said they fully expect the assad regime to be represented. they have been told that they will be represented. and i also spoke to the head of the free syrian army, that's the moderate military command on the ground in the opposition in syria. they said general idris that they fully intend and call for the rebels to go to the table in geneva and there put their cause and demands on the table. as you rightly say, there is almost no cohesion amongst the rebel forces. and many are getting incredibly frustrated, whether it's the

u.s.-backers of the syrian opposition, the moderate group, or whether it's the rebels on the ground, there is no political cohesion. they've been really slow to get their act together at all. so this is an issue. >> but, christiane, you've got rebels who don't agree on how they operate together. you've got political opposition outside the country that doesn't agree and get along either. and the rebels in the country don't like the guys outside the country who are meant to be representing them. you have iraqi fighters crossing now into syria and have been. hezbollah is fighting there across the border and you've got the rebels saying they will take action against hezbollah and israel on the side saying they might act against russia -- is it just me or is this thing spiraling out of control? >> well, it is following a pattern we all predicted. that, yes, it is spiraling out of control and it's more and more clearly actually spiraling out of the borders of syria, lebanon, iraq as you say and

turkey and jordan as well. so this is a major problem. and regarding these missiles, it's a huge big deal that the russians say they are going to transfer s-300 anti-aircraft missile, surface-to-air missiles to the assad regime. something the secretary of kerry and prime minister of israel benjam benjamin netanyahu implored not to do. we're told that is going to happen. earlier this week the israeli defensemen said publicly they don't believe the shipments have in fact left russia yet. he said "i hope they will not leave. and if, god forbid, they do reach syria, we will know what to do." that's an oblique reference to the past that they have in the past last month or so already bombed what they said were missile or advanced weapons shipments that they believe were headed from syria to hezbollah. now, i did ask this of

ambassador vitali churkin. >> keep their heads cool and refrain from reckless actions. >> don't you think this is reckless, ambassador? >> no. i don't. this is a transparent arms sale that has nothing to do with the current conflict which everybody is concerned about in syria. >> well, it is obviously a very, very worrying development because people are afraid this is simply going to escalate. what's happening is the russians keep providing more and more advanced weaponry to the assad regime. and i was told by a senior russian parliamentary member very close to president putin that these missiles that the anti-ship cruise missiles russia's sending to assad are the patrolling with more ships of the port there all designed as strong messages to the west not to get involved in any kind of intervention on behalf of the

opposition whether no-fly zone or whatever. >> all right. christiane amanpour, thank you so much. appreciate it. michael, we know, she mentions israel's role in this but also lebanon. you have the lebanese organization hezbollah, which is supporting the syrian government could also be drawn into this conflict. so we're potentially looking at a really all-out war, a conflict in that region. >> exactly. hezbollah are the main fighters in the battle taking place near the lebanese border and the rebels fire missiles into lebanon with a town already spilling over. it's very, very worrying. coming up here on "around the world," the taliban's number two guy in pakistan is killed, a drone strike. >> this after president obama recently said that he was scaling back the drone program. we're going to have a live report from pakistan up next. mom, dad told me that cheerios is good for your heart, is that true? says here that cheerios has whole grain oats that can help remove some cholesterol, and that's heart healthy. ♪

another taliban number two dead today after a drone strike in pakistan. this is now confirmed by our intelligence sources there. k cnn actually contacted the

taliban directly about it, they say they wouldn't confirm or deny. >> we did hear from people on the ground and also intelligence sources that that guy right there, waliur rehman, the second in command to the leader in taliban in pakistan one of four men killed in a strike on a compound near the border with afghanistan. on the phone with us now, reporter with "the guardian" newspaper in pakistan. tell us more about this man, the number two. it seems a lot of number twos get taken out with the taliban. how high value was he? >> yes, not a good being number two in the taliban in pakistan in particular with drones flying around in the sky. he was the primary military commander for the pakistani taliban. and although -- and widely tipped to eventually become the leader of the movement. he's wanted by -- or has been wanted by both the americans and

pakistanis. both sides have put out bounties on his head. the pakistanis a few years ago offered money in return for his capture, dead or alive. one of the terrorist incidents that he was allegedly involved in, you might remember the bombing of the marriott hotel in islamabad in 2009 which killed up to about 50 people. he was also linked to attacks against nato and u.s. forces in afghanistan. so he was a very significant figure and exactly the sort of person that the program is designed to target. >> and, john, if you will, during the bush administration, the former president used to joke about being number two taliban not a position to be on with the bullseye on their head, but essentially how do they keep up? don't they just get replaced with another one?

>> that is the criticism ultimately of the drone program, or one of the criticisms is that it can never solve the problem. it can only repress the issue by taking out these leaders occasionally. however, it does have a profound effect on the freedom of militants to move in this area, basically a taliban and jihadist stronghold where many of the world kind of global jihadists have gathered. the drone program has made it harder for them to meet or meet together and have, you know, discussions about strategy. and it's actually rather interesting that this man was apparently holed up with a very other senior commanders, which is something that i've been told they try avoid doing because of the risk to them from the drones. but, yes, ultimately the only

way to fix the problem is for government control to be assertive in this area. at the moment it's a no-man's land. and the pakistani army -- rather pakistani state has been loathed to allow the army to go in and conduct these sort of operations we've seen in other parts of the this region. ultimately that is the only long-term solution. >> john, appreciate your time there. reporter with "the guardian" newspaper. na was sharif just won the election anti-drone made that clear during his election campaign. he's about to form a government. you have the president saying they're scaling back. in some ways this will be seen in pakistan as a message from the u.s. to pakistan that if we know who we're going to get, we will still do. >> it's still something the president has to deal with. it's a difficult position to be in. just last week we heard the

president obama saying that, look, he understands the pakistanis worry about many, many civilians being killed, at the same criticism of president bush and he's trying to scale it back. but, look, that happens when they're still going after those high-value targets. >> the other thing to point out is the pakistan military, they will not mind this one bit because the pakistan taliban is more and more attacking the pakistan military. so they're going to be fine with this even if it's just, you know, behind closed doors happy about it. >> taliban number two. chinese cyber spies were also following threatening america's military security. the pentagon says that they stole plans for a new u.s. weapons. that is next on "around the world." and do you know your... blood type? a or b positive?? have you eaten today? i had some lebanese food for lunch. i love the lebanese. i... i'm not sure. enough of the formalities... lets get started shall we?

jimmy how happy are folks who save hundreds of dollars switching to geico? happier than dracula volunteering at a blood drive. we have cookies... get happy. get geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more. 100% greek. 100% mmm... wow, that is mmm... it's so mmm you might not believe it's a hundred calories. yoplait greek 100. it is so good.

well, the u.s. military says somebody's been poking around in their classified weapons designs and they're pretty positive that it's computer hackers from china. >> it is modern day high-tech espionage, but so far defense officials say no harm done. at least that is what they're saying publicly. >> a published newspaper report they're not so optimistic suggesting the cyber security brea breach in the battlefield.

>> the combat ship, the ballistic missile defense system, according to a new report, the designs for these and other high-tech weapons have been breached by chinese hackers. a confidential version of the report from the defense science board made up of government and civilian experts was give b to "the washington post." the report doesn't accuse china of stealing entire designs, but if they didn't steal them, how did they compromise them? we spoke with a top cyber security expert who did a separate report this year on chinese military hackers. >> bits and pieces of things will be taken from many different sources, different laptops, different computer systems that have been compromised. but it's hard to take a lot of these pieces and gel them into one picture. >> cnn couldn't independently verify the latest reports of findings. several members of the science board we contacted declined to speak to us. u.s. defense and other officials downplay the report saying some

of the information is dated, that they've taken steps to address the concerns. one saying "the idea that somehow whoever the intruders were got the keys to the weapons kingdom is a stretch, but the pentagon has recently accused china of trying to extract information from u.s. government computers, including military ones. if the chinese even got into parts of a combat or missile defense system, how could they have gotten past the safeguards? >> there's a lot of engineering that gets done in an academic setting. there's a lot that gets done defense industrial base. a lot of these places have been compromised for over ten years. >> china's military ambition has been off the charts in recent years. they've launched a satellite killer missile into space. just over the past two years they've deployed their first aircraft carrier and test flown their first stealth fighter jet. one expert tells me the technology from that was taken from the u.s. and china's alleged hacking could be deadly for u.s. forces on the battlefield. i asked one expert about the

publicly released part of this latest report on the consequences of the cyber snatching of weapons technology. >> if you mess with that software, the airplane won't fly, the missile will miss its target and the ship might not get to where it was intended to go. >> china's embassy in washington did not respond to our calls and e-mail about this latest report. china's government has repeatedly insisted it does not conduct cyber espionage on u.s. agencies or companies. >> brian todd is joining us live from washington. brian, first of all, the chinese seemingly have been hacking american agencies and companies at-will really for years. how do u.s. officials stop them in any way? >> well, suzanne, michael, what we're told by experts is that the top u.s. defense contractors -- and you're talking about companies like lockheed martin, boeing -- what they have to do to try to reduce their target area in cyberspace, try to reduce the amount of information, you know, blueprints, design plans, other documents that is in cyberspace that can be plucked by the chinese. the technical ways to do that

are kind of too technical to really get into right now, but experts tell us these companies are getting better at doing that, reducing their target area in cyberspace. secondly, they say when you sense that you've maybe been compromised, you've got to pounce on that immediately and try to minimize the damage, minimize the impact. but a third component at least one expert told me is that diplomatically the u.s. really has to take this on with chinese officials, sit down with them and say, look, we're partnering with you in many areas, but this kind of behavior has got to stop. and these are the consequences of that behavior. we're told this will almost certainly come up next month when president obama meets with the chinese president xi jinping in california. >> absolutely. thank you, brian. appreciate it. >> and, china, while we're on the subject is accused of stealing top government stuff in my neck of the woods, australia. there's been media reports there that accuse chinese hackers of breaking in and stealing the

blueprints for new headquarters. >> today top officials including the prime minister, they are going back and forth about whether or not those claims are even true. and if they are, what harm was done? the chinese completely deny that hackers stole those blueprints. and we're also following this, sports taken now out of the olympics might get a chance to jump back in the games. this is important for a lot of people. >> we're talking sports like baseball, karate, wrestling -- that was incredible it got voted out of the 2016 games. well, today officials are putting together a short list of recommendations for what to bring back in 2020. get this, only one sport makes the final vote in september. pick your favorite. >> i can't believe wrestling's going to go. >> one of the original sports. >> it will win. i'm sure. we'll see. this is being billed as -- by the french media, as the marriage of the century. there were about 500 guests in attendance. it was a ceremony that was watched by the world. >> yeah. this was in montpellie, france.

after months of protest, the first same-sex couples allowed to legally marry. france has allowed civil partnerships, president francois hollande only sigh signed the bill ten days ago. no word on where the family is going. they want to have a child and also among the guest 200 police in case of opposition protest. >> and there has been a lot of protests lately. floods, tornadoes, not uncommon in the united states of course, but right here severe weather threatening more than half the country. that is right. we've got details up next. and -- >> beyonce beefing up security on her world tour. why? well, she's reported in receiving some threatening letters, but also this as video surfaces of a slap-happy fan getting a little too close for comfort. we'll explain when we come back.

all right. michael, get this. millions of americans now on edge, here's why. severe weather expected to hit more than half of the country. that's happening today. >> exactly. in the hours ahead the midwest could get the worst of it. these storms could include strong tornadoes, as if they need that. several tornadoes actually ripping through kansas last night. in the town of corning, six farms hit. thankfully no one reported hurt. >> take a look at this as well. a storm chaser catches a tornado

forming, this is in tescot, kansas. this is what eventually it turned into. that is right. this is a sight that brings us back to a lot of the memories -- painful memories for people in moore, oklahoma. it is possible they could see tornadoes there today. they are actually in the danger zone. samantha moore tracking storms for the cnn weather center. samantha, tell us how likely is it that really oklahoma city area could get hit again. >> yeah. they're in the probable zone. that means they could see possible severe supercell storms that could cause tornadoes once again. and you can see things pretty quiet right now. we have a cap that needs to be opened up, if you will, to see severe weather. kind of like a lid on a boiling pot of water. once it opens up, then we see everything lift up and we can see an explosion of activity here. notice this is the dodge city radar. this is where our own chad myers will be this afternoon. right now he's in greensburg to

the southeast of there around 45 miles right about here. not much action yet, but he does expect to see those storms popping throughout the afternoon and evening. because we have a lot of moist air moving in off the gulf of mexico. we have a frontal system moving in that will provide lift. we have a jet stream aloft that will also provide lift. most notably here we have dry air. notice, this is a dry line. kind of looks like a warm front, but it's orange instead of red. but it's actually a dry line. and that means the air behind it is much drier than the air in front of it. and believe it or not it doesn't seem very likely, but dry air is actually heavier than moist air. it seems like it would be the opposite, but that's not true. it's actually heavier. and as it moves in, it will provide that lift here. look how moist the air is ahead of it. when you have dew points in the 6 0z, it is just humid. just feels sticky out there. and there's a lot of moisture for those storms to work with. so this is where we expect to see the area -- the probable area for thunderstorms that could cause tornadoes today here

and around oklahoma, in through kansas and even in northern texas, oklahoma city, moore, oklahoma, one of those areas that could see some large damaging hail as well as some damaging winds and that threat of tornadoes, especially during the afternoon and evening hours. suzanne and michael, of course that's when the benefit concert's going to be going on there in downtown oklahoma city. >> oh, goodness me. that's bad timing. samantha, thanks so much. samantha mohr there. going to be following a storm chaser at the top of the hour. you'll have that. and he is accused of killing a british soldier with a meat cleaver. well, a woman confronted him right after that attack. >> coming up, she's going to explain to us what it was like. she goes back to the crime scene with our atika shubert.

one of the men witnesses say killed a british soldier on a london street no longer in the hospital. this man and another suspect were shot by police responding to the attack that happened last week. well, now, he's in regular police custody and being questioned. >> yeah, the place where lee rigby was so horrifically and so publicly killed is now a memorial filled with thousands bouquets of flowers. atika shubert met a woman there who saw the whole thing happen and moved in to help. >> right. about where the english flag and

red shirts are. and through the window i could see the crushed car. i think it crashed in that. the right one. and the body had been dragged about, yeah, about here. soy left my bus, because it wasn't going nowhere. and went down and approached the body. and i went like this, took his hand, tried to find a pulse. >> right. >> and there was no pulse. >> no pulse. >> doesn't mean he was dead, but the lady said he's dead. i said are you sure? she said yes. maybe there was no blood here. i wanted to check here. i wanted to go there, but then he came like this in front of me. >> the attacker? >> yes. and he said don't touch the body. and i just did that. and all i could see here like his bloody hands, one carrying a revolver and the other one

carrying the knife and meat cleaver. >> what did you think at that point? you saw a man with bloodied hands carrying a weapon. >> i didn't think. i just thought, okay, this is a situation obviously not a road accident -- traffic road accident, yeah. so i stood up like that and i said why? why can't i touch the body? i said he's a british soldier and i just killed him. >> what happened when police came? were you still here at that time? >> i was here a police car coming very quickly, and then the two guys run down this way. and the police shoot them i think in the leg. the way they were grabbing their leg. and i was happy that it was so quickly finished. >> and this is the first time that you've been back to the scene. >> yes. >> since that day. how do you feel coming back? >> i still have -- i hardly

recognized it. >> so impressive. you hope that you'd be one of those people who would jump in, but you never know when something like that happens right in front of your eyes. >> and all those other people way back and only those three women there with the nerve to go up and try to engage. terrifying stuff. atika shubert had that story for us. >> coming up "around the world," a baby stuck in a toilet drainpipe moments after being born. now the mother has come forward. we're going to have an update on the child and that investigation up next.
