its wake. we'll have the details of what set off the violence in california. and officials in mexico can finally confirm they have found the remains of one of the 43 missing students.
1:01 am
hello, and welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. i'm atika shubert in london. typhoon hagupit is threatening the philippines with the possibility of storm surges, flooding and landslides. right now it's pounding the islands with relentless torrential rain as it moves across the country. the storm madity first landfall on saturday and is expected to make a second landfall in the coming hours. tens of thousands in lahti province had been evacuated. now derek van dam has been with us from the start of the storm
1:02 am
and has been following every movement and is standing by with the latest. thanks very much for joining us. what can you tell us about what to expect in the coming hours? >> well, atika, this is what you get when you have a very onshore wind on onto a very coastal city. this is a concern because there are still people located near the coast of legazpi city. we are looking for storm surges in the next couple hours. that's because this particular city is facing in an easterly direction and as the low pressure or tropical typhoon continues to flow just south of legazpi, it creates a compound effect, pushing up the water and ocean and coinciding with high tide which occurs in roughly one hour. so we're going to look out for coastal storm surge continuing across this region and any east-facing inlets or bays
1:03 am
across this portion of the philippines. we're also going to be monitoring very heavy rainfall across this region. and it's crucial because of a volcano in this vicinity. this is from a recent eruption that occurred within this particular volcano. and with excessive rainfall mixing with the degrees of previous lava flows we get what is called a lahar. and what that can do is create a very dangerous situation for the communities and the towns like the city we were just talking about a moment ago, with the compounding effect of that volcanic action mud mixing together and starting to shoal seep towards the coastal cities. this is the latest information we have to pass along to you from the joint typhoon and warning center. we have the storm moving through
1:04 am
the central philippines and continues to batter this region with heavy rain. it's becoming more and more disorganized which is showing signs of falling apart. our eyes are set on southern manila, because it will come into this region in the next 24 to 48 hours. manila is a populated area of roughly 12 million people. as this slow-moving typhoon eventually makes its way into southern luzon we're going to see roughly 13 inches for our domestic viewers. so we're going to look out for the possibility of flooding. >> thank you very much. derek van dam keeping an eye on that storm as it slowly moves toward the capital of manila.
1:05 am
well, our cnn reporter is in the city of legazpi. now she joins us there live. i heard the wind howling earlier at your location. but it's not just the wind and the storm surge but also the concern that with the slow speed of the storm it's dumping even more rain, and that brings the possibility of landslides. how is legazpi city prepared? >> reporter: just a point about the wind there, that just when we came out to join you right now, this is possibly some of the strongest winds we've seen. it was really bad this morning. this morning we had the rain kind of driving in to my face when we were talking from legazpi. and now we've got it coming from behind me. but this is really bad. it's getting wroorse and worse d as we just heard in that weather report, high tide coming up and
1:06 am
that's a huge concern. the main threat is flooding and landslides. that's because this storm, it may be fast. it may be furious, but it is slow, and bringing with it tons and tons of rain or millimeters and millimeters, i should say, and that rain has just been non-stop. and as that comes in and the rain continues to settle there is concern for flooding in the area. now because of that we are, just to let you know, we're high up. we're on a hill looking down on the city of legazpi. and so there is concern of flooding down there. plus, add to that the storm surge we're expecting come high tide roundabout in the next hour. and landslides. that's because the particular topography and jgeography of ths area is prone to flooding.
1:07 am
we have a volcano, one of the world-famous volcanos. it's perfectly cone shaped, the cone shapes you would draw in school as a kid. because of that shape it has a lot of those possible landslides. so that's possible there too. that can also cause flooding as well, not just the risk of crashing into people's homes but flooding because they might block up waterways. >> now of course the philippines was hit hard last year by typhoon haiyan. especially tacloban. what has legazpi learned in terms of having the shelters in place and being prepared? >> reporter: we were concerned on the way down here. it was a 15-hour drive of the we had plenty of time to soak in ha was going on. we were concerned because we weren't seeing too many of the evacuation procedures. we saw people refusing to leave their homes.
1:08 am
and their homes for many of them were shacks or lightweight material buildings. so we were concerned that we hadn't seen that. we have seen people pruning trees, but that seemed a little too little too late. when we got here we've been speaking to the governor. they have set up 3,000 evacuation centers and that includes legazpi and ten other towns. they have families as sponsors. that's the sense of community you get here in the philippines and the world over when we see these kind of storms hit hard. and they have 23 emergency response units. now those are made up of the military, whether that be the army or the navy, a volunteer, coast guards and paramedics and those are, the teams, 23, made up of 400 of these people. they're dotted around, not just legazpi, ready for any kind of
1:09 am
emergency, thankfully, so far we haven't heard of any major catastrophe. the storm has passed through tacloban. we haven't seen the devastation thankfully again, that we saw in typhoon haiyan. and in legazpi so far it seems to be okay. but i met some incredibly terrified people earlier. many of them low-income homeowners worried about the damage because they're afraid they won't be able to afford the repairs. >> that's understandable, just listening to the furious sound of that storm. thank you for joining us regardless of those winds. let's go to tacloban where andrew stevens is at. andrew, this is one of the hardest hit cities last year during typhoon haiyan. how has it weathered the typhoon now? >> reporter: i'll have to speak quite softly to answer that
1:10 am
because we're standing just outside a catholic church here and mass is currently being performed. but to your question, the typhoon, the storm surge this time around. so we actually, part of the reason for that, the reason for so many people here, they're giving thanks for what could have been but what wasn't in the end. and also you have to say the people here, not only are they traumatized from what happened in recent memory with typhoon haiyan, but also much more aware of how the storm and the effect, and they need to get out of the pathway. that's exactly what they did. there's been no casualty
1:11 am
reports. local residents, just to give you an idea how prepared tacloban was this time around. the storm was much weaker than it was last time. >> thank you very much. that's andrew stevens in a church in tacloban where catholic mass is being heard but also an emergency shelter for so many of those being impacted by the storm. now if you want to learn how you can help in the philippines, head to cnn.com/impact and there you can find a list of approved organizations already on the ground and operating. now this has just come in. a key leader from al qaeda has been killed in a suspected u.s. drone strike in north pakistan, oumar fa ruk.
1:12 am
he was believed to be involved in pakistan. now we're learning more about the failed mission by u.s. forces to free an american hostage in a desolate part of yemen. the raid took place early saturday in the shabwah region. u.s. officials say luke somers and south african teacher pierre korkie were fatally wounded by the militants. the navy s.e.a.l. team was within 100 meters of reaching them when the militants realized the raid was coming. a pentagon official says they had to move quickly for fear that somers was in imminent danger. in afghanistan chuck hagel talked about the men they were trying to save. >> our hearts are full of sorrow
1:13 am
tonight. our prayers and thoughts go out to the somers family. there was also another hostage who was also killed in that attempted rescue. and our prayers and thoughts go out to all the families involved. >> now the other hostage was south african teacher and aid worker, pierre korkie, a not-for-profit organization, gift of the givers had negotiated with the militants for his release and had expected him to be free later this weekend. >> very shocking, especially since last week i spoke with his wife, that we would have him home for christmas. so can you imagine the devastation for the lady emotionally and psychologically. it's almost over. and then she gets the message not almost over.
1:14 am
but fears that he's going to be home alive and now you accept the fact that he's gone. >> a u.s. official says they knew there were two hostages at the location, but they did not know one was south african or that anyone had been negotiating for his release. a former navy seal says rescuing captives from hostile militants can be a very complex operation. as jonathan gillian told our reporter it's much more difficult. >> having seen so much over the past couple months about the bin laden raid, the public nows about these snatch and grab missions where we grab a guy. n now you're dealing with a live good guy that you have to go in and get and protect at the same time. and that throws a whole another wrench into this problem.
1:15 am
and i think you see, you also see the difference between going directly on target and then, you know, actually patrolling in. but unfortunately, when you get on target, you know, you just don't know, necessarily, what's going to be there. could have been a dog that barked. i'm a big dog person, but when you're on an operation, they're one of your biggest problems because they recognize everything in a neighborhood that they're used to. i think that it appears that the operation went very well except for that point. and i just have to tell you that in my eyes this was not a failed operation. it was an operation that had a tragic end to it as far as the two hostages dying, but i, myself, if i was a hostage, i want my body coming back. and i would rather be taken out with a gun than have my head cut off. >> this was the u.s. military's send recent hostage rescue attempt in yemen, a previous
1:16 am
attempt resulted in freedom for seven hostages. but the militant also moved somers just two days before. coming up next, outrage, violence and looting. two officers are injured as a u.s. protest over the death of eric garner turns into near chaos. plus chaos in mexico after authorities identify the remains of one of the students who disappeared months ago. [ rob ] we weren't always the most adventurous couple. once we kept the lights on. but then we started using k-y yours & mine. yeah, we were nervous to try it.
1:17 am
there's an amazing sensation for her. amazing. this one feels fantastic for me. and combined... ohh, it's a completely new sensation for us both. it's opened a whole new door for us. i've come to clean your pool. but we don't have a pool. i'll come in anyway. next week i'm going to be a maid. [ female announcer ] k-y yours & mine. his excites. hers delights. together feel them ignite. keep life sexy.
1:18 am
1:19 am
in the u.s., for four days in a row now, protesters took to the streets in major cities. they were reacting to the decision to not indict the officer in the chokehold death of eric garner. >> i can't breathe! i can't breathe! >> in hollywood, california, protesters blocked traffic at a major intersection and chanted eric garner's final words "i can't breathe." crowds in union station lay motionless on the ground, and it was a similar peaceful protest in atlanta as dozens lay quietly near a busy freeway, but it was a much different scene in berkley, california saturday night. you can see there, it started peaceful but turned violent. two officers were injured as some angry demonstrators threw
1:20 am
bricks, pipes and smoke grenades at police. a reporter from kgo was on the ground as it unfolded. >> reporter: this demonstration started going sideways when the large group made its way to berkley police headquarters and officers tried to keep them clear of the building of the one officer was injured by a flying object tossed from within the crowd. some people tried to keep the protests non-violent. >> no violence, no violence! >> reporter: police deployed a smoke canistered, and that's when the protesters splintered. protesters hit a neighborhood radio shack. >> next thing you know, that window starts breaks. these two windows break. >> a hammer comes in and acts like he's going to light the store on fire. a guy with a crowbar comes in and starts stealing stuff. >> reporter: one looter went
1:21 am
after a customer in the store. as they rushed him out the back door another looter attacked with a skateboard. >> i don't know why you have white people coming in and shoving black people. if you're protesting white on black crime you shouldn't be in this protest if you have white skin. >> reporter: outside, neighbors helped sweep up the glass. >> we heard people shouting and we came here to help them clean it. >> reporter: as the night unravelled, some demonstrators tried to stop the looting and vandalism. >> there's no need. we're peacefully protesting. these people are taking things from stores that aren't bothering us. >> reporter: after a few hours, one group finally made its way back to uc berkley campus, and that's when police made several arrests. >> that was a reporter from affiliate kgo reporting. now police say the robbing and beating of a bosnian woman in missouri is a hate crime. it's the second such hate attack
1:22 am
on a bosnian in missouri within a week. the st. louis police do not believe there is a problem with bosnians being targeted. the bosnian community, thinks otherwise. >> reporter: the woman was stopped by three armed african-american men. not only was she attacked robbed and hit, she had her car damaged. she and her family came to america to escape the war in bosnia. just last week a bosnian man was killed by those who used hammers to beat him to death. authorities said that was not a hate crime but this morning's incident was. i spoke with the police chief apartment victim's father. >> the fact pattern in this case indicates that whether it was targeted because she was bosnian or once they found out she was bosnian, the crime continued or accelerated. so i was very concerned about it. so we are investigating it as a hate crime. >> my dad is more frightened on
1:23 am
what has happened today than the war in bosnia, because you don't know who, who's a bad guy and who's good. >> reporter: the chief does not believe there's a systemic problem of bosnians being targeted for hate crimes in st. louis. he has alerted the fbi to this incident. he said i will increase patrols in the bosnian community. >> thanks to ktvi for that report. the bosnian man beaten to death with a hammer in st. louis this weekend was laid to rest saturday in iowa. a 17 year old boy is charged with the man's murder. two other juveniles are also in custody. well, still to come on cnn. in just hours, the duke and duchess of cambridge will touchdown in the u.s. for a whirlwind visit.

1:26 am
in louisiana, republican congressman has won a seat in the u.s. senate after a tough runoff election. bill cassidy declared victory over mary landrieu. the senate will have control of 54 seats next year by the republicans. >> on november 4th, the american people sent a message. they september a message that they did not like the direction our country is going in. now you in this room, our state, is the exclamation mark on that
1:27 am
message. we echo that, that we want our country to go in a conservative direction. >> now landrieu has represented louisiana in the senate for 18 years. democrats won't have a single senator or governor south of virginia next year. actor mark wahlberg is seeking redemption for a crime he committed more than 25 years ago. he served jail time in 1988 for an assault case. he was 16 at the time. the 43-year-old is now asking massachusetts to formally pardon him for his actions. >> he says he's deeply sorry and that he's still legally affected by the convictions. massachusetts governor deval patrick will make the final decision on the case. and a royal family fan now owns a slice of history. a piece of fruitcake from the wedding of the duke and duchess of cambridge sold at auction for an unexpected $7500.

1:31 am
welcome back to our viewers in the u.s. and from around the world. i'm atika shubert. in the headlines this hour, in mexico, bone fragments from one of the 43 students who vanished in september have been identified. the students disappeared and set off massive protests across mexico by the loved ones of thousands of mexicans who have gone missing. people have been arrested in the case. a key leader from al qaeda has been killed in a suspected u.s. drone strike. pakistani officials say oumar faruk was killed. he was believed to be in charge of al qaeda's operation in pakistan and afghanistan. luke somers and pierre korkie were murdered by their
1:32 am
captors as help arrived. the philippines is bracing for mudslides, storm surges and severe flooding in the wake of typhoon hagupit. it is moving incredibly slowly across the country. the storm made landfall on saturday and is expected to come ashore on a different island in the coming hours. so far, 11 nations have offered assistance to the philippines to deal with this powerful storm and its aftermath. the philippine coast guard rescued a 17 year old fisherman on sunday from tacloban. authorities say the boy told them he was in the water since saturday night. but they also say he appears incoherent and confused. no word on his medical condition right now. derek van dam is standing by at the international weather center
1:33 am
with the latest developments. you know, we were talking earlier, derek about that storm surge coming in. what can you tell us about the dangers of that? >> the storm surge is one concern that legazpi city is currently dealing with. but did you know there's a volcano within the vicinity of legazpi? and we've got visuals coming out of that region in just one second. this is the volcano within the vicinity of legazpi. this is volcanic ash from a recent eruption. this is an active volcano of the and just around the backside of this tech volcano particular ar, and you can see la gaz at this ci -- legazpi city to the west. it's resulted in what's called a lahar. we have been discussing this as
1:34 am
a possibility across this region. and it has, well, shown its unfortunate face here in this area. this is a mixture of what is volcanic debris from recent eruptions in this particular volcano, mixing with the excessive rainfall. and you can see what it does. it creates this effect, almost a mudslide that can really inundate communities, villages, and as you see, roadways, creating quite a concern. it doesn't look like any houses here, at least in this footage that we're getting and showing you for the first time were actually impacted. but nonetheless, this is a dangerous situation for this area. let me explain what a lahar actually is. it's the debris of recent volcanic eruptions. this can happen anywhere in the world. we just happen to be talking about the philippines. it comes from all the volcanic ash layered up on the sides of volcanos, and when it mixes with the rainfall we see the land
1:35 am
give way and spread out in all directions and obviously seeking lower elevations and impacting communities at the bases of volcanos. that's exactly what we saw in that footage. now the other concern in legazpi is the coastal surge. this is an east-facing city. and we just get the compounding effect of the onshore winds and high tide, which is about to occur, roughly in 20 minutes. so we could see coastal storm surge there anywhere between 2 and 4 meters. these are some of the first images of that storm surge impacting the coast. and it could very well become worse as the next hour or two unfolds, because it is coinciding with that high tide. so just to get you upto speed on the latest with this storm, it is becoming more and more disorganized. but there is still a lot of moisture content within this typhoon and till a lot of wind. but we're going to talk about
1:36 am
the rainfall that could bring flooding into manila on monday. that is going to be our next focus. and of course we still have typhoon and tropical storm force winds impacting between 10 million and 40 million people. those are not typos. we could exceed a foot of rain in manila in the next two days, ati atika. >> keeping an eye on that as it is just hitting the philippines. officials in the philippines appear to have learned many lessons after a typhoon last year killed 6,000 people. this year, people went to high ground and fled ahead of the storm. and crews are clearing airports so emergency services can get through. joining me now from tacloban is the emergency response manager.
1:37 am
how have things changed this time and how have authorities responded with these emergency shelters? >> the real story of this response in particular is that disaster preparedness works. we have thousands of people shifted into safer areas from tacloban. the government was really active in encouraging people to leave early. so 48 hours before the typhoon struck, at about 9:30 local time here yesterday, people were already in evacuation shelters. that made a huge difference, but no doubt that helped to reduce the casualty level. >> so this time not only were people able to get to safer ground much quicker before the storm hit, it sounds like they were also putting a lot of emphasis into making sure the roads were cleared, that aid, if it was needed, was able to get through much more quickly. because that was an issue last
1:38 am
year in tacloban, wasn't it? >> yeah, that's true, atia. i was out early, early this morning around tacloban, and there are a lot of heavy earth moving equipment, shifting trees that have fallen across the roadside. we're getting reports now coming through that a lot of the roads are now clear. so we'll be distributing our goods such as water kits starting tomorrow afternoon. there are reports, though, that some arias of eastern samar are still cut off due to floods and landslides. the other challenge that we're facing is lack of communication in some areas. a lot of the mobile networks are still out. so we're communicating without staff. and we have about 100 staff all based in eastern samar, and we're in regular contact with them. and they'll be undertaking
1:39 am
assessments in the most affected areas. >> of course these kinds of typhoons, this is a region that's particularly vulnerable to these type of powerful storms. the fact that we're now seeing emergency procedures being put in place beforehand, does this mean that we're going to see some systemic changing in the future where this becomes a natural reaction every time you see one of these storms coming through? >> well, this is the new norm. i mean, this is the 17th typhoon that has struck the philippines. it's important for the governments to invest more in disaster preparedness measures, to reduce casualty levels and damage to infrastructure. the real story of this response was that the government was quick to act. the agencies were quick to act. we were in communities letting them know that the typhoon was coming. and possible storm surges. they packed, you know, packets
1:40 am
of food. their key documents and moved to safer ground. >> what are the lessons that other countries could learn particularly from the tacloban experience. what can they learn from the experience here? >> many things. first thing is real community-based disaster preparedness. that is improving the capacity of local government officials to draw up hazard maps to identify areas that are unsafe, to identify families that are vulnerable, people with disabilities, elderly people and children are most vulnerable to disasters. simple evacuation routes. telling people what a typhoon is. telling people what a storm surge is. there's many lessons that can be learned from other countries. >> thank you very much. that's richard sandison for us
1:41 am
in tacloban. there's been a breakthrough in the case of 43 mexican students who vanished in september. investigators have identified the remains of one of the students, but families of the missing say their quest for justice is not over. we have more on the investigation. >> reporter: the remains belonging to the 19 year old are the first to be identified. he's one of the 43 students from a rural teachers college who went missing in late september. the announcement was made on the school's facebook page. a legal representative for the families of the missing also confirmed the news to cnn. [ shouting ] >> reporter: at a protest in mexico city saturday night a group of parents acknowledged the announcement but said the search for the rest of the group is not over. [ speaking in foreign language ]
1:42 am
>> reporter: my son, wherever you are, i'll keep looking for you, even if my heart is breaking by the news, this father said. the spokesman for the parents of the missing says their quest is not over. no matter where the missing might be, we the parents are not going to stop until justice is done he says. the mexican attorney general announced his investigation indicated all students were dead. based on circumstantial evidence and interrogation of suspects he said, the students were abducted by corrupt police officers, turned over to a criminal gang, executed and their bodies burned in a landfill before being tossed in plastic bags into a river. the challenge of positively identifying the human remains is daunting. the bodies were so badly burned that they were only able to recover tarred bone fragments and ashes. many victims may never be
1:43 am
identified. last week, the mexican president visited the state for the first time since the students disappeared. [ speaking in foreign language ] >> reporter: the president said organized crime is to blame for the disappearance of the students. he also said his government is resolved to get to the bottom of the case. cnn, atlanta. next on cnn, two hostages were killed in yemen after a failed raid by u.s. navy seals. our expert breaks down why the white house approved this risk emission. plus a daring escape. how a machete and a frantic run to freedom saved his life. let me get this straight... [ female voice ] yes? lactaid® is 100% real milk? right. real milk. but it won't cause me discomfort. exactly, because it's milk without the lactose. and it tastes? it's real milk! come on, would i lie about this? [ female announcer ] lactaid. 100% real milk. no discomfort.

a swiss captive abducted two years ago has escaped from islamic extremists in the philippines. he grabbed one of his captors' knives and attacked a guard and another kidnapper and then fled. the kidnapper shot at the 49 year old, striking him in the cheek. he was treated at the hospital and is expected to make a full recovery. the militant group is still holding a dutch national hostage. and we're learning more about the u.s. navy seal operation to try and rescue an american. the al qaeda militants killed
1:47 am
luke some rs and pierre korkie. trying to rescue hostages in a remote place is filled with dangers. in a short time ago. philip mann spoke to phillip mudd about why the white house approved such a risk emission. >> i don't think we have many options. we're talking about how quickly people were murdered after a video was shown. in this case, the yemeni people who held these guys felt they were under threat. i don't think if you're sitting in the white house situation room you have much of an option even if you know the risks of the raid are very high. i think we were lulled after the bin laden raid that these things are easy, and they're not. >> reporter: why do you think his life was in so much danger now? and that was the motivating force for this attempt. could the first attempt put the
1:48 am
men in greater danger? >> i don't think it was unwittingly. the captors were thinking they had unlimited time. you're saying we have multiple options here, and typically you have intelligence coming into the white house situation room over the course of weeks and months describing that these people's lives are at risk. i'm sure the white house is saying there is intelligence suggesting these men are going to die unless we take a risky move. you don't have a good hand, but you've got to play it. >> reporter: was there also a critical lack of information? i don't want to call it an intelligence failure, but maybe it was that, because the other hostage was due to be released. and there was good reason to believe there was a real chance he weighs goias going to be rel soon as tomorrow. and now pierre korkie's dead. >> i wouldn't make a decision based on that. you're making a decision based on what you think, not what you know. if you have one hostage that may
1:49 am
be released and other hostages have been brutally beheaded and you say hey, we think our hostage is going to be killed fairly soon but we think the other hostage is going to be released, you cannot make a plan based on hope. and i think the beliefs about the other hostage were just that, hopes but not a fact. >> reporter: now i am not a historian of yemen terror groups or their strategies, but i have read, that the way they operate, it could be the tribes, disgruntled locals. it is a kind of extortion, basically. it's a bargaining chip. people are taken. demands are met. discussions ensue and the hostages are released. in yemen it's pretty frequently the case. is it possible that that's really what these terrorists were after? they mention in their video that they have made demands. they were pressing their demands in the video. we never learn what the demands
1:50 am
were. but could some form of discussion you think have gotten these men out safely? >> i think that's unlikely. let's not mix apples and oranges. you have al qaeda groups that take people for money. al qaeda across the middle east and into asia has made a lot of money off hostages, but these groups are closely watching what's happening in places like syria. they're taking their cue from isis and al nusra who have killed detainees. they want to make money by taking hostages and the broader effort by al qaeda groups to take people who are western hostages, not for money but for publicity and for beheading, and i think the latter is what was happening here. clashes broke out in greece saturday marking the sixth anniversary of a fatal police shooting. police dressed in riot gear, used tear gas and water cannons to keep the protesters at bay. two businesses were set on fire.
1:51 am
dozens of others were damaged. police detained almost 100 protesters. and protests calling for democracy in hong kong continue. joshua wong, the leader of the protest movement ended his hunger strike after four days. he says protesters will fight on and some are still refusing food. he and other students want electoral reform in hong kong's next election. coming up on cnn, details on an art heist in miami. police are searching for a picasso piece valued at $85,000. so we gave people the power of the review. and now angie's list is revolutionizing local service again. you can easily buy and schedule services from top-rated providers. conveniently stay up to date on progress. and effortlessly turn your photos into finished projects with our snapfix app. visit angieslist.com today.
