2:01 am
>> our conversation continues this hour. >> hey. >> you can add tornado to the long list of weather worries hitting california. we'll update the forecast and check the damage. >> these stories are ahead this hour. welcome to our viewers from aren'ted world. straight to the top stories. the top story is the terror group, isis, has a disturbing manual on graphic details on how to beat and rape non-muslim women and children held as slaves. according to an english translation of the text, captors can have sexual relations, quote, unbelieving females. and a slave owner can have sexual intercourse with a girl
2:02 am
before she reaches puberty. we will talk about this in detail. and we have cnn's ian lee out of cairo to talk about yet another just really unbelievable edict by these militants, ian. what can you tell us about this pamphlet and how it came about. >> natalie, this is not a surprise. we have known about these acts taking place for quite some time. but this is another window into the brutality of isis. we're told from residents and also this pamphlet came out called questions and answers on taking captives and slaves. and i went through this pamphlet, reading it, and my biggers -- or one thing that you notice, they treat female captives as property. these are not human beings. they have no rights. they can be dealt with really as the owner likes. and that includes sexual abuse as well as sexual abuse of young
2:03 am
girls. it also talked about how any of the captive who is tried to flee or run away from their master, well that is the greatest sin. and that is a stark warning. wondering who are these people in who are these captives? it's really anyone who doesn't adhere to their strict form of islam. their strict, warped sense of islam that isis has. anyone they see as a non-believer. >> and they're trying to terrify the women and girls they catch from escaping. we know that some have escaped successfully from their captors. what is the reaction, ian, to this from the muslim world and from those living in mosul that's under the direction of isis that were handed these pamphlets after their prayer session? >> well, the muslim world has condemned isis, really, from the
2:04 am
very beginning. their practices are not those that are followed by mainstream muslims. so we've had that strong condemnation. doesn't seem to have any effect at all on areas that are controlled by isis. residents in mosul told cnn that when they got this pamphlet, they gathered around, they said -- people were shocked. they did not like this. anyone who goes against isis will be severely punished or killed. when we look at how they treat these captives from the males who are usually executed. we have seen executed prisoners, and executed journalists. and then for the females, it is going right into flavoring and right into, for most of them, many of them, going into sexual slavery. there's a lot of shock. but i don't think a lot of people are very surprised that this is coming out as we've heard about this before. >> right. but as we see them firing their
2:05 am
weapon here. it was so sad that so many women and girls are right now being abused and raped by these militants. and no one knows their stories, really. ian, and again, i'll be talking with a terrorism expert out of london in just a little bit about these -- this pamphlet being handed out there. well, the u.s. government would very much like to see isis leader abu bakr al-baghdadi, but he was hardly treated as a vicious enemy during his time in u.s. military incarceration. the u.s. may have inadvertently cultivated the creation of isis. >> reporter: he may be the most vicious terrorist leader in recent years, now a former inmate at a prisoner camp in iraq, the man behind scores of
2:06 am
isis beheadings was once a trusted inmate. allowed to roam freely around the camp. >> the americans seemed to see him as somebody who could keep the prison quiet. there were 24 camps within the sunni side. he was allowed open access to all of them. >> reporter: guardian reporter martin interviewed a senior isis commander. abu ahmed said he spent time with him in 2004. he told him he was a fixer at the camp who could settle disputes between competing factions. quote, he was respected very much by the u.s. army. abu bakr al-baghdadi was seen as clever, scheming, using a policy of conquer and divide to get what he wanted. a u.s. intelligence official told us he created street credit inside the prison. and others at the american prison were not always
2:07 am
segregated. essentially allowed to meet freely, to plot. and they had an ingenious way of communicating. >> they were able to write their contact details on the white elastic of their boxer shorts, prison-issued boxer shorts. they networked. they had phone numbers, details of fathers, villages, uncles, whatev whatever. >> reporter: he said it was the incubator of isis. if there was no american prison in iraq, there would be no islamic state now. >> most of the senior leadership and probably a good portion of the mid level management and foot soldiers came from bucca. because tens of thousands of people were held there over the years. and so just when they got out, they had little to do and they had these established networks. and it's clear that they had done their homework in the prison. >> reporter: and as he left, according to a former camp commander, abu bakr al-baghdadi
2:08 am
had a chilling parting shot. >> he looked over to us, and as he left, see you guys in new york. >> reporter: in response to where it was a breeding ground for isis, a pentagon official said these kinds of detentions are common practice during conflict. it was packed with detainees, the army was short-staffed. and no one thought that he would go on to do what he's doing now. a u.s. intelligence official tells us the camp was not a turning point for him. brian todd, cnn, washington. reports out of afghanistan say taliban gunmen have gunned down a senior official of the country's supreme court. he was shot to death as he left his kabul home to go to work today. he headed the secretariat of the highest court. the afghan taliban claims
2:09 am
responsibility but not said why they killed him. this is the latest such attack to target an afghan official. at least 17 people killed in indonesia after heavy rains triggered a landslide on java. it swept away more than 100 homes. 15 people are injured, but 91 others are missing. heavy rains have forced a stop of the search and rescue efforts. well, london's heathrow airport feeling the effects of a computer glitch that shut down a critical air traffic control system friday. it's showing a number of cancellations and delays. expecting flight disruptions well into saturday afternoon. friday's delays calls long lines and plenty of frustration. passengers trying to rebook their travel. investigators still are not sure what made the system shut down. but they have ruled out hacking as a possibility. well, police in the u.s. are looking for a man suspected of
2:10 am
shooting four young people outside an oregon high school. police say the suspect may be part of a gang and he was seen running off with two other men. >> this was initially believed, based on the information we had, to be an active shooter situation. as it turned out, we got here quickly. it was not the shooter never entered the school. and the shooter and the associates left the area very quickly. >> three of the victims are in the hospital. one was treated at the scene. the school system's website said the high school enrolls about 200 students who have been excelled or dropped out of public high school and many of the students are homeless. family and friends will say good-bye saturday to a teenage girl burned to death mysteriously in a small town in mississippi. police are trying to figure out who's responsible for the death of jessica chambers.
2:11 am
they questioned one man more than willing to share his story on camera. janice of our tv affiliate out of memphis, wmc, reports. >> there's really no words to describe how i feel right now. having to come to a visitation for somebody that you never would have thought would be gone. >> reporter: hundreds of friends and family showed up for the visitation for jessica chambers in a closed casket with loving messages all over it indicating how many people cared for the teenager. at the same time investigators went over clues, looking for anything to solve the case. one of the people they questioned is eric bibbs. >> i had been here with a tooth ache since about 6:00. i think maybe they came by here about 9:30. they went to my grandma's address, called my mom. >> bibs, a married father, lives just down from where jessica
2:12 am
chambers was horribly burned. she was able to talk with the first responder. bibbs said the investigator said to them they said derrick or eric. that's why the investigator came to his home. >> there was an accident down the road and your name was mentioned. no, i've been here. i think one of the other people said a guy was named eric bibbs. >> reporter: he did not know her and wasn't aware of what happened to her. the investigator never told him why he was being questioned. >> it didn't come to me until the next day when i realized what wou what happened. i was like, well. >> according to one of the prosecutors, they are looking at the strong possibility that someone was in the car with the 19-year-old moments before it went up in flames. a reward for information about
2:13 am
the case. rewards have grown to a total of $11,000. coming up, trayvon martin, michael brown, eric garner. these names are symbols in the debate about police brutality and racial injustice in the u.s. next up, cnn's anderson cooper's conversation with their mothers. and next a homeowner watches as their house slips into the ocean. ear your blocked nose and relieve your other allergy symptoms... so you can breathe easier all day. zyrtec-d®. find it at the pharmacy counter.
2:14 am
2:15 am
well, more people in the u.s. will take to the streets today demanding an end to police brutality. that will happen in just a few hours. some of the largest protests, we're told, will be held in new york city today and washington, d.c. as you know, in recent weeks, many people across the u.s. have marched after grand juries decided not to indict police officers in the deaths of michael brown and eric garner. well, for the mothers of these victims, the protests are deeply personal. their sons, as well as trayvon martin and tamir rice have become symbols in the debate about racial injustice across the u.s. cnn's anderson cooper had the opportunity to speak exclusively with all of the mothers together. >> gwen, when you saw the protests in new york city, miami, oakland, all around the country -- >> yes. >> and you saw athletes wearing
2:16 am
t-shirts that say i can't breathe, what went through your mind? >> i just felt overwhelming -- overwhelming feeling of support. like everyone saw what i saw. and everyone was behind me. >> you got caught in the traffic. >> yeah, i got caught up in the traffic. and then all of a sudden i see the protesters coming towards us and i said, oh, it's the protesters, you know? and i hoped the window, and my sister said if you don't close the window, you're never going to get out of here. no, but i have to wave at them. i did. >> that was the first time you didn't mind being stuck in traffic. >> the first guy that recognized me was a white guy. he said that's eric garner's mother. he came to the car, shook my hand, we're with you. i said, thank you so much, sir.
2:17 am
and the rest were touching my hand. you know, they came briefly and they just kept on walking. some took pictures. >> it helps. >> it felt so good. >> do you have confidence in the federal investigation that's going on now? >> oh, yes. i have much more confidence in the federal investigation than i did in the local process. >> you believe your son's civil rights were violated? >> yes, they were. yes, they definitely were. because if eric garner was a white man ain sul folk county, even if he would have been caught selling cigarettes that day, they would have given him a summons. and he wouldn't have lost his life that day. i believe that 100%. >> do a reenactment of each one of these cases, and turn the
2:18 am
wheels around. make the person that did the shooting a black man and the person that actually got killed was a white person, and you put that out there and see what people's perceptions are. >> that was done in your son's case -- >> yeah, i can guaranty you that their ideas would be changed. oh, yes, that was a chokehold. oh, yes, that was a toy gun he had. oh, yes, michael brown had his hands up. see, all of these things will be changed. look at the little boy, the young teenager was walking from the store with his drink and candy. see, now, when you change the color of these people, then you'll be able to really see. >> anderson, it's just simple. the rules are different. when it's a black kid laying down on the ground, the rules are different. and we have to address and be honest with ourselves. >> you talk to, and again, in these polls, white people don't view it that way by and large.
2:19 am
>> there's no need for them to view it that way. >> so they don't quite get it. they don't quite understand. thing it's a small group of african-americans that's complaining. >> yeah. >> oh, what are they complain about now? they turn -- >> you hear that from people. >> oh, yeah. >> all the time. >> the people say that all the time. what are they complaining about now? what are they protesting about now? >> what do you say to that person? >> to that person, until it happens to them and in their family, then they'll understand -- >> don't get it. >> the walk. they don't understand what we're going through. they don't understand the life, they don't understand what we're fighting against. i don't even think the government quite gets it. >> until they walk in your shoes on a daily basis. >> well, i think this is shedding light to what's going on. this is not something that's new. it's been happening. but it's just bringing light to what's been happening. it's bringing it to the
2:20 am
forefront. and that's why so much conversations. that's why so many rallies and protests. because people are now realizing, if you look at those footage in new york, it's not just african-americans. >> it's everybody. >> so it's not just about african-american rights, it's about human rights. >> no parent should bury a child. >> well, thank you very much for talking. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> thank you for your strength. >> thank you. >> and, again, more protests today across the country. if you'd like to see more of anderson cooper's conversation with these moms, go in and type this this address, ac360blogs.cnn.com.

2:23 am
yes, that's a tornado in southern california. a lot of people in california have a big cleanup ahead. look at that after a storm swept through causing widespread damage. this triggered a rare tornado in los angeles. no injuries were reported. stephanie elam has a look at the devastation. >> reporter: 2 inches of rain in just three hours. pelting southern california. >> he's in, he's in. >> reporter: in the heart of the city, a swift water rescue on the los angeles river. >> there we go. pull her in. >> reporter: from the rising and
2:24 am
rapidly-moving current, first responders pulled two people clings to trees to safety. including this woman. other parts of the los angeles area left ravaged by recent wildfires also getting doused with more water than the baked, scarred land could handle. crews began working to clean up the mud and debris enveloping these homes blocking the streets even as the rain was falling. in an area that was charred by wildfire in 2013, the downpour was far more punishing. sending mud and tons of rocks kas indicacascading down on the. >> they have a lot of rock to move. it's like a quarry. >> reporter: the damage so intense, officials deemed ten homes uninhabitable. but no reports of injuries. >> there was a lot of rock. >> reporter: cindy came to check on her mother, who was safe, but she's heartbroken for the residents. >> these are a lot of elderly
2:25 am
people. this is their retirement community. >> well, let's bring in derrick vann dam from our weather center. there were hard, wrenching stories of elderly people being pulled out of their homes. who would understand if mud came down up to their chimneys. i mean, from a tornado to mudslides to flooding to homes falling into the ocean. what a mess it has been. >> what a get segue, thank you, natalie. we have phenomenal footage not only from california with the tornado and the rock slide, look at that. that is a house falling into the pacific ocean in washington. this is coming out of an area called graylene, washington. the latest round of extreme weather destroyed and obliterated the shoreline. taking this home with it. this is the third home to be
2:26 am
destroyed at what is called, precariously, washaway beach, believe it or not. high wind and surf showing that mother nature is in charge. now those homes are the victim of the storm damage. multiple houses have been gobbled up by the sea. it's not showing signs of stopping any time soon as well. this is an area that is prone to this. in fact there have been reports that the beach was about a mile away, let's say three or four weeks ago, and now it's eroded so much that, of course, it's taken houses along with it. this is the storm system responsible for all the destructive weather along the west coast of the united states. it is impressive. it is moving inland. and it's weakening as it does so. but not before creating that weak tornado into the southern suburbs of los angeles. i've stopped the radar at that particular moment when we saw that minor tornado. that's 9:20 in the morning on
2:27 am
friday pacific time. this is a scale we use to determine the strength and intensity of tornados. it was the lowest scale in terms of destruction, but you did see on the footage there was some minor destruction there. nonetheless, this is a concern for california. of course, they only receive about four of these a year. so it's pretty interesting to see that on video. that storm, as i mentioned, is moving inland. and we're treated with sunshine, finally, along the west coast. of course, we need the rain across this area, just not that quickly. we are going to look and monitor another storm system across the pacific. that will impact northern and central, all the way to the southern sections of california by monday and tuesday of next week. so no rest for the weary. natalie. >> okay, derrick, thank you. well, president obama meets with leaders from saudi arabia. coming up here, what they told him about fighting isis and why they believe a new threat is emerging in the persian gulf.

hello, i'm natalie allen, here's an update on the top stories we're following for you. torrential rains in indonesia causing a deadly landslide on the main island of java. 91 people are missing. more than 100 homes have been swept away. hundreds of people have been sent to shelters. heathrow airport warning travelers that friday's air traffic control failure will cause flight delays and cancellations well into saturday afternoon. investigators are not sure what caused the hour-long disruption, but hacking has been ruled out.
2:31 am
well, isis militants have announced in a pamphlet that their enslavement and sexual abuse of non-muslim women and children is permissible. residents of mosul, under control of the militant group, say known isis members districted the pamphlets after friday prayers. and police in indiana say they have arrested the man believed to be behind, excuse me, in india, have arrested the man they believe behind the isis propaganda twitter account. the 24-year-old man is identified as medibiswas. he has confessed to operating the account. the investigation by police started after i.t. in israel tracked down the man behind the
2:32 am
twitter handle. israel spoke to him as they hunted him down. >> reporter: the exposure of the man behind the isis twitter feed had major ramifications today. not just among those who tracked the fortunes of the islamic state and its allies, but also in the country where the creator resides. debate has raged about the role of this company executive in the influence, if not the recruitment of young jihadis. the police chief has promised action. >> we have taken the information, and we are on the job to look into it and see his veracity and if so what needs to be done. we are on the job. >> reporter: today we were back in touch with the now infamous tweeter. he told me he is expecting to be arrested. even though he believes he's done nothing wrong. >> i have a suspicion that the
2:33 am
police are coming, they might try to kill me. and then they will say that i was -- i attacked them. they will kill me in qatar. i want to be there when the time comes. i don't have any weapons. >> reporter: he described being overwhelmed by the online reaction, good and bad. he had told no one of the perso perso persona. >> in the first one or two hours, but i can't believe this for. >> do you think that is? >> i think for the first time in history, there is a muslim guy who can actually enunciate in english and get the message across and really pisss off our enemies. the enemies of muslims.
2:34 am
i think this the is the first person who really irked the people who liked to wage war on terror. >> reporter: among the 15,000 foreign fighters who've joined the islamist battle fields, shami witness was the most popular twitter feed. there were 2 million hits a month. but the unmasking of its creator has brought shock waves across the web with other so-called fan boys also shutting down for fear of exposure. >> shami witness was the single-most important english language feed. the fact he was exposed yesterday, thousands of people saw this. and as a result, a number of other people who operate similar accounts have shut them down. they're afraid of being outs. >> it's going to affect the
2:35 am
broad picture of things. many other accounts will pop up in his stead. they are just as significant. >> reporter: the fall of shami witness has shed light on isis sympathizers. who while having no direct link to the extremist fighters believe in the cause and are ready to spread the message under the cloak of anonymity. >> again, reporting there for us in israel. once again, police in india say they have arrested a 24-year-old who israel interviewed in his report. the man in custody is accused of running the isis propaganda account known as shami witness. and air strikes have been pounding isis in iraq and syria three months now. but another threat is beginning to emerge for one coalition member that it fears may
2:36 am
destabilize the persian gulf. this new unrest that could end up helping al qaeda. >> president obama meeting behind closed doors at the white house with saudi arabia's powerful interior minister, eager to reassure the saudis the u.s. understands its growing security worries. a major saudi concern, isis. saudi arabia's arrest this week of 135 people for suspects terrorism included dozens, the saudis say, had links to isis and planned attacks. the u.s. is also working closely with the saudis over the border in yemen. but while the american effort is to take out al qaeda and stabilize the yemeni government, the saudis want help on another front. rebels are on the offense against the fragile yemeni government. rebels backed by the saudi's afternoon foe, iran.
2:37 am
>> the hutis, for all intents and purposes, taken control of the capital. they are now perhaps the dominant force in yemen. >> reporter: what the u.s. risk iran'sing anner to target them so the saudis are not threatened? >> we understand the concerns that the saudis have about them. and the instability, the insecurity that -- that they see, again, on their southern border. i wouldn't speak again to specific targeting. >> reporter: this unrest could be an opportunity for al qaeda. >> they could expand its operations. because of this advance that they could get more recruits and they could build themselves up again as a more powerful force in yemen. >> reporter: atop al qaeda in yemen leader distanced the group even from isis. >> the prophet mohammed, peace
2:38 am
upon him and his family, peace in everything. even in killings. it's not good to film killings. >> reporter: isis not going away from the brutality despite the air strikes. in iraq, worshippers received this pamphlet, isis approved of non-muslim women and children being taken as slaves. all of this jockeying for position makes the u.s. worry that a new sectarian war may break out in the persian gulf, and saudi arabia and iran may be on a collision course. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. >> and barbara mentioned the isis pamphlet we have been telling you about, distributed in mosul. the disturbing document says that non-muslim females being held as slaves are, quote, merely property, and that it's
2:39 am
okay for the slave our owners to buy, sell or give them away as gifts. and bringing in the leader of the counter extremism think thank. thank you for joining us. it's not only said they can trade them, do what they want, they can also rape, sexually abuse, young girls. p prepubescent girls. if isis threats of violence could get any worse, it just did. what do you make of this bizarre pamphlet they have just handed out? >> it's been issued by them. it's -- the pamphlet, we believe, is about a month old. it's been in circulation for a while. there was a lot of counterpropaganda around the world on the whole taking of the sex slaves, of people that are non-muslims at the time when
2:40 am
they were capturing i can't swree des from the area surrounding the mount. they are doing what is right, but it's a disgusting pamphlet. it talked about prepew besent girls being rained, women being sold as property. and things you wouldn't expect to see in a 21st century society. but unfortunately and sadly these guys believe in it very, very strongly. >> yes, they do. and they're making that quite clear. we're going to try to get a little bit clearer signal with you for your audio. we could understand you, make it better. we'll take a break and work on that when we come back. you use , you can use splenda® no calorie sweetener. splenda® lets you experience the joy of sugar

2:44 am
and ideological arguments they present to both the people that live in the region, in the state, and people around the world as well. and the way they're sending out these propaganda messages. at the moment, we are playing catchup. saying this for the last few months. we are playing catchup around the world. there is a need for air strikes to save human lives. there are probably in the region of 2 to 30,000 women captured and used as sex slaves. but they are also chopping off people's heads. we need to challenge the whole ideological and theological beliefs they have in terms of their recruitment and implementation of these values that they claim to have. and challenge them head on and make sure that over a period of time, long term, that we -- as the world, the rest of the
2:45 am
world, can declare we do not accept these values and they are just as unpopular as fascism and communism in europe and around the world. >> day can't come soon enough. it seems like it's a how-to on raping women and girls. let's just give an example. a question in the pamphlet, is it permissible to have intercourse with a female captive immediately after taking possession? yes. if the female captive is impregnanted can he sell her? yes. they sell for about $42. so it just -- it just gets into the psyche of the level of sickness of these people. >> absolutely. absolutely. it's a disgusting ideology, it's a disgusting viewpoint that they have. it's not acceptable. to the rest of society. and it's something that we have to challenge. the question that you mentioned there talks about these women as
2:46 am
possessions. talks about raping them. talks about trading them. it's something that we didn't -- i certainly didn't believe that i would see in my lifetime. this smacks to me of stories that we hear about what used to happen thousands of years ago. it's not something that i and certainly the people that i know and the rest of the world really expected to see in the 21st century. >> yes. and imagine all these women and girls taken right now and the horrors that are being done to them. and we don't have their stories. we don't get to hear from them. it's just horrific. well, we certainly thank you for joining us. with the foundation, thank you. well, now we want to turn to the bill cosby scandal. this week, yet another woman, a model, accuse the comedian of inappropriate behavior. beverly johnson said he drugged her and got violent when she dismissed his advances. somehow she was able to not pass
2:47 am
