9:00 am
begin your legacy, get an auto insurance quote. usaa. we know what it means to serve. what started as a sit-in to protect a park in istanbul, turkey, has now turned into a countrywide protest against the government. is this the beginning of a turkish spring? >> and then olympian oscar pistorius getting ready to return to court accused of murdering his model girlfriend reeva steenkamp. we've got the latest on his case. plus, new images of steenkamp's early modeling days. and angelina jolie makes her first red carpet appearance after a double mastectomy. we'll look at what's ahead next
9:01 am
for her. welcome to "around the world." i'm suzanne malveaux. >> and i'm michael holmes. police and demonstrators battling it out in the streets of turkey as suzanne said this started as a protest of plans to demolish a park in the city in istanbul that has grown to something much, much bigger. >> you see police blasted protesters with water cannons, fired teargas as well. in istanbul cars are driving through with damages. turkey's interior minister is
9:02 am
urging people to stop demonstrations as they head back to work. >> they show know signs of backing down. they're not going home and turning their anger to the president and the government he's running. >> ivan watson joins us from istanbul. originally they said it was about freedom of speech, they say this is heavy handed government. have we seen this before? it looks like ivan watson we're still trying to get a connection with him. >> suzanne, it's a little bit difficult to hear you because of the technology's acting up right now. if you can see us -- >> we got you, ivan. go ahead. >> if you can see and hear me right now, we're in the place where the protest first started. and in a series of days that have been never-seen-before moments in turkey, in istanbul. this is another one of them because i would estimate there
9:03 am
are thousands and thousands of people in this park in what pretty much a joyous gathering, people picnicking and all in defiance of the turkish prime minister who has called the protesters extremists and members of marginal groups. instead, we see a lot of students, we see some families, we see middle-aged people, a lot of women as well. they seem determined to show they are not marginal groups, that they are not extremists. they are turkish citizens, and they want their prime minister to listen to them. suzanne. >> ivan, of course this is all become far more than just protest. is the government worried turning from the secular nature. turkey has been an important ally for the west as well. what is the prime minister saying about these criticisms?
9:04 am
all right. we've lost ivan apparently. he's out there in the thick of things. that is one of the things people are worried about there, and that is the government is moving away from the secular nature, cracking down on bans on alcohol in some areas, bans on kissing in public, that sort of thing. and that's not something turkey has been since the days -- >> and turkey is such an important ally to the united states. really at the heart of the region, it's going to be very important to see what happens there grant it the obama administration really paying close attention to those street protesters. >> absolutely. what we're going to see there and ivan was going to tell us about it, the prime minister has gone away on a trip, but before he blamed criminals and extremist elements and basically putting all the blame on those demonstrators who initially were very peaceful. and it was the hard handed police action that really got
9:05 am
things underway and there was retaliation and of course been kicking off there as well. >> not to mention close syria used to be allies skb now you have thousands and thousands of syrian refugees spilling into turkey. the real danger is whether or not this is going to be drawn into some regional conflict as well. syria advising its residents not to travel to turkey because of the protests that are there. you've got this bloody civil war raging in syria killing about 80,000 people and the country's of course being allies before. but just the last two years this has changed everything. it was just yesterday syria's foreign minister suggested that the turkish prime minister step down. >> yeah, the irony of syria not wanting citizens to travel to turkey. the olympian who fatally shot his girlfriend on valentine's day, he according to his friends is shaken by photographs of the crime scene leaked to the media.
9:06 am
that's word today from the family of oscar pistorius, known as the blade runner. >> and you remember pistorius is charged with murder in the shooting death of his girlfriend, reeva steenkamp. we are learning more about her from some newly released photos. here's our robyn kurnow. >> it was on the beaches of this south african seaside town that a young law student aspired to be a model posing for these amateur snapshots. that young want-to-be model was young reeva steenkamp. just a few years later she had transformed herself into a cover girl. she might have looked different. but she didn't change inside said her student friend carrie smith who took those pictures on the beach about eight years ago. >> if anything that's reeva in her natural beauty. not a stitch of makeup on. hair blowing in the wind with the sea behind her, sun setting
9:07 am
behind her. >> reeva was a confident, professional model, ambitious too says garrett barkley, who shot these photographs a few months before she was shot dead by her boyfriend oscar pistorius. pistorius says it was a tragic accident. and he thought she was an intruder. the state says it was murder. for now, it's just images of reeva that are left to explain the kind of person she was. >> that's the photo of i took her unedited. skin was always great. beautiful eyes, beautiful features. >> she asked him to take a photo of this tattoo on her neck. >> it was very personal to her. she never spoke about it. she just wanted a personal photo of it. >> reeva had a tattoo on the back of her neck that said "only god will judge me" in italian. do you know why she had that? >> it was something her
9:08 am
grandfather always said and it was very close to her own heart. >> words she felt defined her. while oscar pistorius will eventually be judged in a south african court. >> robyn kurnow, she's joining us live from johannesburjohanne. all these people are going to be looking of course following the pistorius case as well, what do we think this hearing is all about tomorrow? >> well, not a big deal in terms of the legal process. he's basically going to appear in court for ten minutes, the lawyers tell me. this is essentially a postponement. the state's saying they need more time. they've asked for the postponement so they can investigate more. what i think is key about this i think for people around the world, for the media, this isn't the first time we're going to see oscar pistorius since he was released from police custody in february. >> yeah, robyn, i know the other day you talked with pistorius'
9:09 am
uncle, describes him as a broken man. how is he saying pistorius is coping with what happened at the moment? >> well, i think he essentially says he's heartbroken. that he's really not coping. he's in a hole. they're trying to get him out. i think i mentioned to you last week as well, michael, but i saw oscar myself. and he really didn't look like and admitted that he wasn't the same man. so his uncle very, very also acutely aware of the impact this is having of course on the steenkamp family and polarizing south africa, the world. i mean, everybody's talking about it. was this premeditated murder, or was it a tragic mistake? take a listen to oscar's uncle. >> yes, he's got photos in his room. he's got photos all over the place. what can you say if the person you love the most die and you were the instrument? how would you feel?
9:10 am
it's unthinkable. >> his life will never be the same again. >> that's with no doubt. he won't be the same again. he will have to cope with it somehow. >> okay. and you know what? reeva steenkamp's family also have come out and spoken today. they said in an interview that they were really, really upset. that they weren't able to warn her. there was a sense that they were also really sad. they kept on thinking about what she must have felt like in that bathroom, how scared she was. her mother saying repeatedly he shot her until she was dead. i want to know why. a question i suppose any mother will want to ask. and the legal process is going to be a long one. that's for sure. >> robyn, thanks so much for your reporting on this throughout. robyn, i know you're not well, go rest your voice. >> we'll be watching. this is unbelievable. it's very riveting on all sides. >> tragic. still to come here on "around the world," he's accused of killing a british soldier in broad daylight. now he's in court.
9:11 am
>> we're going to have the very latest on the london attack. and then angelina jolie making her first red carpet appearance after having a double mastectomy. how her decision to be proactive has now inspired many others. >> plus, madonna, j-lo, beyonce all come together to help empower women around the world. we have that as well. ♪

9:14 am
welcome back. one of the men accused in the gruesome killing of that british soldier in london made his first court appearance today. >> it has been 12 days since that vicious attack. you might recall this is on a street in broad daylight. many of you remember the suspect was seen on video holding knives and a meat cleaver. his hands soaked with the blood of his young victim, lee rigby. >> now, during the hearing today, he refused to stand as he clutched the quran. he's also wanting to go by a different name now. our atika shubert has details
9:15 am
from london. >> well, suzanne and michael, he arrived a little before 10:00 a.m. on monday morning. he took a seat behind glass panels flanked by police officers. he was dressed all in white with his left arm in a cast. and he also held the muslim holy book, the quran, in his hand. now, the judge confirmed he wanted to be called by a different name during court proceedings. he also had all the charges read out to him. those charges were the murder of that british soldier, lee rigby, also the attempted murder of two police officers and illegal possession of a firearm. now, he seemed quite agitated throughout this relatively short hearing, just for ten minutes this hearing was. but he seemed quite agitated, interrupting the judge several times to ask questions about proceedings. at one point he even seemed to appear to blow a kiss to supporter in the public gallery. and then before leaving the hearing he actually lifted his
9:16 am
arm up and kissed the quran. so all very interesting details on a relatively short hearing. he is now expected to have a bail hearing within 48 hours. and he will also have his preliminary hearing for his trial the 28th of june, and that is when his case is expected to be joined up with that of the other main suspect in this. atika shubert, cnn, london. >> and in response to the attack, the british prime minister, david cameron, today chaired the first meeting of a task force he announced a couple weeks ago to tackle radicalization at home. >> so the focus is realing rooting out some of these extreme views the students and prisoners have and also prevent the spread of extremism online. well, a suicide bomber has tragically killed ten school children and two nato soldiers and an afghan police officer. this happening today at a market
9:17 am
in afghanistan's eastern province, a hotbed for insurgent attacks there. >> the afghan interior ministry blaming the taliban for this attack, but the terrorist group has not actually claimed responsibility unlike most of the other attacks. we got coming up, 11 people kidnapped in broad daylight. this is at a bar in mexico city. unbelievable story. the latest on that investigation as well. >> also coming up, have a look at these pictures, floods in europe, fires in california, deadly storms in oklahoma. weather around the world is also coming up. dad. how did you get here? i don't know. [ speaking in russian ] look, look, look... you probably want to get away as much as we do. with priceline express deals, you can get a fabulous hotel without bidding. think of the rubles you'll save. with one touch, fun in the sun.
9:20 am
9:21 am
three other people are missing. austria's vice chancellor says it is still getting worse. >> and check this out. this is the czech republic. a state of emergency is now in effect. at least three people there have died. this is the worst flooding in more than ten years. heavy rainfall over the past couple days also caused landslides near prague. about 3,000 people in the city have now been evacuated. >> such a beautiful place. and in germany now folks dealing with the heaviest rains there in 50 years. evacuation orders in effect for three entire regions. troops are being deployed to help with rescues. and from flooding to fires, crews are trying to get a handle on this. take a look at these pictures, unbelievable. this is about an hour just northeast of los angeles. the l.a. fire department's saying that the so-called powerhouse fire about 40% contained now. but really hard to predict. this fire doubled in size just over the weekend. >> yeah. amazing, isn't it? about 3,000 people actually had to evacuate.
9:22 am
folks who live there say this fire is a bad one. and they are scared. >> had the smoke coming over in years before, but it's never been this close. and it's never been that big. >> looked like the whole canyon's going to blow up. literally, the whole canyon's going to blow up and we're going to be screwed. >> some good news from the fire zone though. this fire isn't expected to get any bigger. and evacuees will likely be allowed back into their homes fairly soon. fingers crossed. >> large tornado. very large tornado. >> well, that is the sound. it is a terrifying sound for those who were close to it. a tornado gathering strength near union city, oklahoma. at least 13 people died in the five tornadoes that slammed that state that was friday night. and watch what happened here. this is to this truck driver and his truck.
9:23 am
>> keep watching too. it's not over. there he goes. the power of those tornadoes enormous understandably. of course six people in oklahoma still missing. oklahoma city's fire chief says four of them sought shelter in storm drains and may have been swept away in the flooding that followed. >> and another scary sound. this the sound of the storm. just listen. that is unbelievable. >> terrifying. >> this is from one of our ireporters who captures this lightning strike. unbelievable. this is during heavy thunderstorms. this happened early saturday morning. this is out of tulsa. says it was some of the most intense what they call fork lightning that he has ever seen. look at that. >> that is just unbelievable what has been happening in that
9:24 am
part of the country in the last couple of weeks, isn't it? those tornadoes not -- were deadly not just for people who were looking for cover by the way. it also claimed the lives of three storm chasers. >> tim samaras, his son paul samaras and carl young, they were killed while chasing the tornado in el reno. this is what their truck looked like. unbelievable. when it was recovered yesterday, mangled, shredded by the force of that storm. you can only imagine what that was like to be there. >> absolutely. >> tim's brother, he says he wasn't a reckless man. he died doing essentially what he loved. >> i just couldn't ever think it would ever happen to him because of his level of expertise, years of being able doing this, safety and all of his training, everything else he's done. if i had to have a way for my brother to die, it would be doing what he did, chasing tornadoes. >> that is heartbreaking. but he did have a lot of science in what he was doing. he was not a thrill seeker.
9:25 am
by the way, a photographer with the weather channel crew is recovering after being seriously hurt when his vehicle was tossed from the highway as well. he's in the hospital. >> it's such a risky job that they do. >> it is. >> it's hard to imagine it came to such a tragic end. we have up around the world another story, angelina jolie, this is a good one, making her first red carpet appearance after having a preventable double mastectomy. >> she did this after finding out she had a high chance of getting breast and ovarian cancer. she's not stopping with the one surgery either. we'll explain what she's doing next. [ male announcer ] this is bob,

a regular guy with an irregular heartbeat. the usual, bob? not today. [ male announcer ] bob has afib: atrial fibrillation not caused by a heart valve problem, a condition that puts him at greater risk for a stroke. [ gps ] turn left. i don't think so. [ male announcer ] for years, bob took warfarin, and made a monthly trip to the clinic to get his blood tested. but not anymore. bob's doctor recommended a different option: once-a-day xarelto®. xarelto® is the first and only once-a-day prescription blood thinner for patients with afib not caused by a heart valve problem, that doesn't require routine blood monitoring. like warfarin, xarelto® is proven effective to reduce the risk of an afib-related stroke. there is limited data on how these drugs compare when warfarin is well managed. no routine blood monitoring means bob can spend his extra time however he likes.

9:29 am
movie. she is grateful for all the support the public has given her. >> hundreds of photographers and thousands of applauding fans greeted angelina jolie for her return to the red carpet. >> i feel great. i feel wonderful. i'm very, very grateful for all the support. it's meant a lot to me. >> angelina didn't disappoint. she was a vision in a backless floor length gown. her best accessory, long-time love brad pitt in matching black. angelina was on hand to support brad at the premiere of his zombie movie "world war z." it was angelina's first red carpet appearance since she announced she'd had a preventive double mastectomy. the mother of six was at times emotional. >> oh, they've been -- i get moved to talk about it really. >> it was her decision after testing positive for the gene
9:30 am
mutation which increased her risk for breast and ovarian cancer. >> ever since angelina jolie announced she had a double mastectomy, everyone was wondering what was she going to look like. and when she appeared on the carpet with brad pitt, she looked absolutely stunning. >> she has become an inspiration to millions since her brave revelation. >> i've been very happy to see the discussion about women's health expanded and that means the world to me. and after losing my mom to these issues, i'm very grateful for it. >> angelina's biggest fan says he is thankful to have his fiancee healthy and happy by his side. >> it's actually a great decision to undertake that to go beyond that and share that with others because she realizes that this is not available for everyone and it should be. >> cnn, london. >> elizabeth cohen is joining us here. angelina jolie, she looks great. she looks fantastic. a great outlook on all this. what does her future look like? >> her future looks really great. i mean, women who have the mastectomy and the reconstruction generally do
9:31 am
really well. sometimes something goes wrong with the implant and doctors have to go back in, but usually things go really well. what will be interesting to know is what her recovery was like over the past four months. because having spoken to women who have done this, it can be really exhausting time. so it's good to see her out and about. >> she does say when she does recover she's going to get her ovaries taken out as well linked to that defective gene. >> that's right. doctors recommend that because she's at a high risk not just for breast cancer but ovarian cancer. that procedure is much easier. it's sort of less involved but also puts her into menopause. >> she looks fantastic. she's obviously doing well. is that how most women recover there? or is it -- could it be different for her because she does have excellent care and a lot of attention of course to what's going on in her case. >> i was talking to a friend of mine last night who's a gynecologist who just had a mastectomy and reconstruction
9:32 am
and she said as exhausting as it was after the surgery, she felt an incredible relief. she'd made a decision, she'd done it, she was finished. so i think a lot of women do feel that way, this sense of relief. like if they have cancer, the cancer's out and they're hopefully cancer free. or even in her case where she didn't have cancer but she made a decision based on her genetics. and the women i talk to said they felt good about doing that. >> feel a load is lifted. >> exactly. exactly. and really in a matter of months you feel like you're back to your old self. >> good for her. her aunt just passed away from breast cancer. >> right. >> so she is being so proactive. she wants to do it for her kids and for her family and for herself obviously. >> it's so important to know your family history. and i think that's one of the great lessons angelina jolie has given us is know your family history and don't be afraid of it. act on it. once you know that history, you know, consult a geneticist, consult a counselor. >> she said how grateful she was that what she had done and by going public had got the talk, you know, started and people
9:33 am
were talking about it. >> it certainly did. many of us know somebody who got mastectomy after cancer, but to do it proactively, she did get a conversation started. >> elizabeth, great to see you. pop onto cnn.com, a lot more information there too. >> we often talk about people having trouble getting an education in some parts of the world, especially women. over the weekend, celebrities came together to raise money for this very cause. we're talking sell ma ha yak and others help women around the world have a voice in education. >> check this out. 11 people kidnapped in broad daylight from a nightclub in mexico. it happened in the morning after the nightclub was winding down. the investigation coming up next here on "around the world." people join angie's list for all kinds of reasons. i go to angie's list to gauge whether or not the projects will be done in a timely fashion

[ male announcer ] now get 50% off brake pads and shoes at meineke.
9:37 am
11 people were kidnapped in broad daylight from a nightclub, this is in mexico city. we're not talking about a seedy neighborhood actually. >> these people were taken allegedly at gunpoint from an upscale part of the capital, just a block and a half in fact from the u.s. embassy. this happened eight days ago. police still don't know who the victims are at the moment. >> rafael romo is joining us with details. so tell us about this neighborhood here. i understand this is also where the grandson of malcolm x was actually robbed and killed just weeks ago. >> that's right. this is a neighborhood i'm very familiar with because not only because of what you mentioned but also because the cnn bureau's not too far from there. this is also right near compared as broadway in new york, that's the main thoroughfare in mexico city. and this bar is an afterhours
9:38 am
bar. we're looking at images. it was actually known heaven. what the family members of these 11 missing young people are saying is that they were at this bar some time between 10:00 a.m. and noon on sunday may 26th. so eight days ago. and at one point a group of armed men in suvs came into the place and took them away. and nobody knows where they are. now, it is very surprising because -- and we have talked about this before. it used to be that this kind of incident would happen in border states with cartels operate and where they have been very active. so this comes definitely as a surprise. mexico city like any other big city in the world has its share of crime. but we haven't seen something like that in quite a few time. now, we had an opportunity to talk to one of the victims' grandmother and this is what he had to say about the disappearance and the way it
9:39 am
happened in broad daylight. >> translator: this supposedly happened on a sunday in broad daylight. this couldn't have happened during the day and only a few steps from the reforma avenue without anybody noticing. there should be surveillance cameras that can show us exactly what happened. >> and they're all young people. there are six men in their 20s, there was one teenager, 16 years old, and then four very young women also just over 20. >> it is extraordinary. and as you point out there, you've actually made the point before at least it hasn't spread to mexico city, the troubles we've seen. we don't know exactly what's behind this, but obviously they're very worried in mexico right now. >> the point authorities used to make is that violence was concentrated in the border states and that mexico city was for all practical purposes immune to this kind of violence. now, this forces authorities to take a second look at what they had been seeing before and reinforce security especially in that part of mexico city. again, cnn bureau not too far
9:40 am
from there. the angel of independence, an emblemmatic monument for mexicans only a coup l blocks from there. it is very scary. >> are there any clues? do they have any leads at all? >> at this point mexican authorities are looking at surveillance cameras owned by the government in mexico city to see if they can find any clues but nothing conclusive at this point. >> all right. thank you. we're going to be following this story. we're following another story, the u.s. sending weapons to jordan as part of a planned military exercise. >> ts came out a little while ago. they say they may stay in the country longer in order to strengthen jordan's security. the defense secretary chuck hagel approving the deployment of this patriot missile battery. also some f-16 aircraft to jordan. >> so the weapons are going to be part of a training exercise called eager lion, that's taking place this month. u.s. officials say the deployment also gives jordan a stronger position against violence from syria's civil war.
9:41 am
>> a lot of worry about spillover that border. all right, now it is like stepping back in time. coming up, we're going to take a look at a whites only town in south africa. >> so of course apartheid over, right? but people in this town say they're not being racist. we're going to explain what are they doing on "around the world" up next after the break. we went out and asked people a simple question: how old is the oldest person you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us.
9:42 am

more than a hundred workers dead, another 54 injured, this is in china. this is after a fire erupted at a poultry plant. >> a fire official tells us there are reports of an explosion first and then a fire. the cause not known at the moment. rescuers struggling with narrow exits and some locked gates too according to some of the staff members. and there may still be people trapped in the building, they don't know. 150, half the workforce in that place. unbelievable. we're now going to south africa. this is a community of folks, this is what they say of course, they're trying to preserve their identity, this almost 20 years after apartheid now saying whites only. >> exactly. it's called kleinfontaine. >> it's like stepping back in

9:46 am
practicing your culture? >> but i can't speak all the time like we can inside kleinfo kleinfontein, i can't have my own hero because you would be offended. >> this is our community. >> back she shows me around, insisting the people here are not racist. >> my argument is that we won't allow white african people here who are not aligned to our values. >> it's not the only community of its kind in south africa. arunia in the northern cape better known since its settlement. they have 2,000 inhabitants, a tiny fraction of the country's africaner population.
9:47 am
