10:01 pm
police shootings in the united states. first, to tulsa, oklahoma where a white reserve deputy is facing a second-degree manslaughter charge. robert baits is accused of killing eric harris. he says he accidentally fired his gun instead of his taser at harris. >> it happened during a foot chase. the family of the victim questioned whether bates, a volunteer deputy, was even qualified to be at the sting. >> this is the moment eric harris appears to sell an illegal 9 millimeter handgun to undercover police in tulsa, oklahoma. seconds later, he flees the scene. police wrestle him to the ground, shouts of taser. then a fatal gunshot. and then an apology. but the shooter is not a police officer, and the gun, his personal weapon. he is robert bates, a
10:02 pm
73-year-old insurance executive and reserve sheriff deputy. he now faces a charge of second-degree manslaughter. police released this video friday, showing bates fired his weapon believing it was a taser. >> he believed it was critical to get harris subdued. >> the family questioned why bates was even on the scene with a weapon to begin with. >> it's awful hard would you tell me getting emotional to really understand how he felt laying there with a knee to our head, people sprawling you out, a 74-year-old come, boom, gun you down. >> and they're not alone in asking questions. >> i'm going to give the shooter the benefit of the doubt. i think it was an accident, a tragic accident. but why was he using his taser in the first place. that does seem someone more likely that wants to play cops and ropers. >> for bates, it was not his first time making an arrest.
10:03 pm
he was a police officer from 1964 to 1965. with 1,100 hours of community policing according to the sheriff's office. he was also a frequent contributor to the tulsa county sheriff's office. >> there are many reasons you might want to help your police department, but certainly the appearances of paying your way into the situation, it rubs me the wrong way. >> bates has made no public comment since the incident. and harris' family is demanding an independent investigation. cnn, new york. >> want to go to south carolina now where new audio emerged monday from the deadly shooting involving a policeman and an unarmed black man. former north charleston police officer michael slager is charged with murder after an eyewitness captured this video of him shooting at walter scott hitting him five times in the back. this is the audio of slager,
10:04 pm
listen to it, and another officer right after the shooting. >> have to wait a couple days, official interview, sit down and see what happens. whether you get home, probably a good idea to kind of jot down your thoughts of what happened, once the adrenaline stops pumping. >> meantime, a lawsuit has been filed against slager for allegedly excessive force for another taser incident captured on dash cam video. this was back in august 2014. >> taser! >> slager reportedly did not pull over the man in this video. he arrived as backup to assist two other police officers. a second man also intends to file a lawsuit in another
10:05 pm
incident involving slager. iraq's prime minister meets president obama at the white house on tuesday. >> he's expected to ask for more air strikes, more weapons. it comes as the obama administration's point man calls isis a problem that is off the charts historically. he says u.s. military action may extend beyond iraq and syria. >> iraq's oil minister says security forces are pushing back against the militants who attacked the country's largest oil refinery. and isis release add new propaganda video showing off the destruction of an ancient city. first, want to talk about the isis attack on the refugee camp in syria. >> and the united nations says it's doing all it can to help civilians inside that camp. the agency said it supplied urgent aid on monday to about 500 civilians who fled. >> a human rights organization
10:06 pm
says isis and another militant group control about 90% of the camp. an estimated 18,000 refugees are still stuck inside caught in the cross-fire. >> the situation we observed yesterday when visiting a school where civilians from yarmouk had arrived from the recent events was hearing tales of bear survival. people who prescribed over the last two years already they were struggling with extreme hardship and grave difficulties in terms of security. and suddenly found themselves in a situation that was escalating, becoming even more extreme in human terms. i met young mothers with babies just born a few days before the takeover of part of the camp by these armed groups. you could see the extreme sense of despair and also the clear
10:07 pm
lack of certainty about the future. for our organization, very important to improve the access to them and to other areas where other civilians have fled to and to build a response that makes a sense and has an impact for these people. >> the u.n. has been allowed little access to the camp to distribute food and medicine. many refugees there die of malnutrition. many women die in childbirth as well. and disease is also rampant. isis continues to attack on multiple fronts in iraq. while the u.s. is providing military help, washington remains uneasy about the country's sectarian divisions. >> isis is striking back and hard. this youtube video posted over the weekend by isis shows thick plumes of black smoke rising from an oil refinery, the country's largest. the refinery had been under government control for months.
10:08 pm
isis in a statement posted online claims to have broken through the refinery's outer defenses after deploying a suicide bomber and attacking from multiple sides. in this picture, said to be of their command and control center, a glimpse of the technology used to direct their military operations. also over the weekend, watched multiple assaults in the province taking over three towns north of the capital of ramadi sending residents fleeing on foot toward safer ground in the city. in another area not far from baghdad, iraqi security forces and local fighters battled for hours to keep isis from advancing. but without more troops and weapons, they won't be able to hold isis off for long. tikrit might be back in government control, but other fronts are faltering. dispelling any notion that the
10:09 pm
terrorist organization was significantly weakened by the loss of tikrit. it is against this chaotic battle field backdrop that the iraqi prime minister heads to washington, key on his agenda, more military support from the united states. >> number one is a marked increase in the air campaign and delivery of arms. this is vital. there has been increase. i'm thankful for that, but we want to see more. >> but the u.s. has long been uncomfortable with iraq's relationship with iran, a country that has also played a vital role in iraq's war with isis. he also faces the challenge of alleviating america's concerns. >> yes, i agree, there has been some concerns. and there's concerns not only in iraq, in the whole region. there are concerns in the meddling in the affairs of each other country. i think we have our own concerns. iraq is a neighboring country to iran. we have the longest border with
10:10 pm
iran. some countries they have their own problem with iran. >> a tough sell as iraq has long been a proxy battleground for various nations and interests. they're going to have to somehow align. he says they can defeat isis, but not alone. cnn, baghdad. >> as isis battles the territory, they're also systematically destroying treasures. we report on a destruction of an iraqi city. listen. >> more than 3,000 years of history obliterated in seconds. this video was released by isis. cnn cannot independently verify the authenticity, but it reports to show them destroying nimrud. the men taking part seem to be
10:11 pm
proud of their demolition spree. god has honored us here in the islamic state, this unidentified fighter says and helped us to destroy anything that used to be worshipped besides god in an she want days. isis fighters use power tools to break down ancient statutes and walls. these are remnants of the ancient asyrian civilization. they stood since the 13th century b.c. and were destroyed by the militants probably in less than a day. the united nations called the destruction war crimes. >> of course my reaction is one of anger because we do believe that the direction of heritage, the deliberate destruction of heritage in iraq has become part of the warfare. >> isis is suffering setbacks on the battle field due to coalition air power and better
10:12 pm
organized iraqi forces. still, videos of the destruction of cultural sites keep emerging. this one, the authenticity of which cnn also cannot verify, allegedly shows isis fighters ransacking the museum in mosul, wrecking ancient statutes and other artifacts. we're afraid for the safety of our archaeological sites, says the head of iraq's antiquities board. but so far, there's virtually nothing stopping isis from wreaking havoc on iraq's rich heritage. by god, we will destroy the signs and we will destroy the graves and shrines of the shiites, the militant says. we will smash the christian crosses and demolish the white house in the middle of america, the home of the infidels. while isis seems to be losing
10:13 pm
ground in iraq, their battle to destroy this region's cultural treasures is still in full swing. >> that is so depressing. a draft resolution goes before the u.n. security council tuesday to impose sanctions and an arms embargo on the houthi rebels but it could be vetoed by russia. meantime, they continue to hammer houthi targets in yemen. they claimed they killed nearly 40 houthi fighters with a bomb on monday and more killed in a bomb attack sunday. still to come, he's young, he's a republican and he's just jumped into the u.s. presidential race. >> i'm sure you know who we're talking about. ahead, we'll show you why marco rubio may pose the biggest challenge to hillary clinton.

race on monday. democrat hillary clinton announced her candidacy the day before. >> they join two other republicans fighting for americans' vote. senator rand paul kicked off his campaign and followed senator ted cruz, the first republican to enter the race back in march. >> next month, ben carson is expected to announce his candidacy as well. marco rubio would be the united states's first hispanic president. >> he made his announcement in a building with a great significance to cuban immigrants. >> we americans are proud of our history, but our country has always been about the future. and before us now is the opportunity to author the greatest chapter yet in the amazing story of america. but we can't do that by going back to the leaders and ideas of the past. we must change the decisions we
10:19 pm
are making by changing the people who are making them. >> senator rubio definitely does have an inspiring story. our chief u.s. congressional correspondent looks at what rubio brings to the 2016 presidential race. >> 43-year-old marco rubio tried to turn his youth and relative inexperience into a plus by saying time and time again in his speech that this should be a time for a generational change. that the candidates of yesterday are just that and that there needs to be somebody for tomorrow. at one point it was clear he was talking about democrat hillary clinton. in another, it seemed as though he was eluding to republican jeb bush by talking about the facts that some people are telling rubio to wait his turn, but he feels that now is his time. he with hearing some mutual
10:20 pm
friends are saying just that to him, that they wish that he wouldn't run right now, that there is a generational difference that actually benefits jeb bush, that it is his time and not marco rubio. he talked a lot of his personal history, the fact that he comes from cuban exiles and the fact that he has an american dream story that drives his world view as a hawk on the world stage and also here in the united states, his conservative ideals, small government and lower taxes. the question, of course, just like the other two republicans, freshman senators who announced before him, whether or not their youth and inexperience is too reminisce of barack obama. >> they brought up marco rubio's lack of experience, but he's not the first u.s. presidential candidate without much experience. the current office holder rngs
10:21 pm
barack obama was also a freshman senator when he first ran back in 2008. i spoke with cnn political commentator and asked how rubio can defend himself against his critics. >> by pointing back to barack obama, he can say, look, it's not a barrier to great service. that you can be elevated to the presidency even if you don't have a lot of experience. in part because his story is so compelling. we also do have a history and it's a fond memory for many older voters of john f. kennedy who himself was not all that experienced, who was young in his 40s, very much like marco rubio and extraordinarily popular. there seems to be something with american voters where they will sort of grant you, because you have a great story, a great deal of credibility or trust in a way that wouldn't necessarily be true for other candidates. >> people run for president for
10:22 pm
all types of reasons. mitt romney back in 2008, he sort of used the 2008 election to sort of set himself up and then really went for it in 2012. do you think marco rubio is actually in it to win it or just use 2016 as a way to introduce himself to american voters and then in four to eight years really go for it? >> well, the republican -- as you correctly suggest, the republican habit of taking the first runner up and then making them the nominee four years later is a consolation prize that really nobody wants, honestly. it's -- there's too much money involved. there's too much effort. in this case, marco rubio is giving up a relatively safe senate seat. so what political power he does have he's really putting at risk. he's already confirmed he's not going to run for president and his senate seat at the same time. unless he makes a decision to drop out fairly early on, he runs the risk of being out in the cold. >> i want to touch on hillary
10:23 pm
clinton quickly because she is sort of trying to desperately avoid the perception that she's some kind of political messiah who's going to be hand the the nomination. do you think it's going to work for her? >> hillary clinton doesn't do humble very well. she's trying it out for the first time. she's on a bus tour into the heartland of the country. she's only meeting with small groups. that actually does work well for her. the actually is you can't talk to 300 million people ten at a time. it's not going to work very well. she's, i think, trying to sort of pace herself, maybe get into it a little bit below the radar. try to connect with people, become a different kind of a campaigner. she is not the kind who like barack obama is going to fill stadiums and talk to 20,000 people at a time. it doesn't work for her. it has never really worked for her. she's trying something relatively new for a clinton and
10:24 pm
a front runner in a presidential campaign. >> and mrs. clinton's 2008 ch challenger, president obama is now weighing in on her chances of becoming the country's first female leader. >> i think she will do great. i've known her for a very long time. we had a really tough primary in 2008. and i saw firsthand how tenacious and determined and compassionate she is when it comes to the issues facing the middle class and she was an outstanding secretary of state. so i'm not going to do any political prognosticating. that's your job. but i will tell you she would an excellent president. >> clinton kicked off sunday with a road trip to reintroduce herself to american voters. although she was fairly incognito when she order add chicken burrito bowl. the workers didn't actually know
10:25 pm
it was her until reporters called. >> mrs. clinton is driving in a minivan which they are calling scooby. all the gang. she's meeting ordinary americans along the way, like that guy there in the baseball cap. all for upcoming events in iowa allowing her to talk directly to potential supporters. she will be holding a round table chat with a group of students and educators. >> it is important to point out this is just the beginning of the u.s. presidential race. voters will not go to the polls until november 8th, twir2016. it's going to be a long year. british labor party reached his manifesto. labor leader focused on cutting the deficit and ensuring voters his party can be trusted when it comes to the economy.

10:33 pm
uncovered evidence of child trafficking. >> at this carp in northern nigeria, we've been told you can take your pick of orphan children. no paperwork, no questions asked. there is just one requirement according to the man who claims to run the camp. you said on the phone that perhaps there would be a suggested donation? >> yes, yes, yes, i told you. >> behind us, children are playing, blissfully unaware. other the phone, we'd said he wanted to inquire about what they're calling her fostering, how it works. >> nice to meet you, sir. >> he returns with his partner, keen to assure me there are children available. i could even choose girl or boy, younger or older. i wore a hidden camera to show how easy it would be to procure a child. >> is there any document i need
10:34 pm
to sign or anything? no? just the green light from you is enough? >> yes. verbal is working. >> thank you, sir. >> they say they now need a chance to talk amongst themselves regarding what the suggested donation would be. and then they want us to call them. >> all the talk that we just had in that camp of suggested donations and fostering, none of that is legal, none of it is legal in any way, shape, or form. for months now, there have been reports that children are being offered for sale in nigeria's displaced camps. the worry is that anyone can walk in and walk out with a child. even the very terror group they fled the camps to escape. the insecurity in the country's north is exacerbating what was already a struggle to protect the displaced, orphaned, the

desperately needy. it is now harder than ever to protect them. respect life, say no. you were a child once. the slogans etched across the mural. as the security in the north rages, it is almost impossible they tell us to keep track of all the orphan displaced children scattered between official, unofficial camps and beyond. they know, though, where they can end up. what happens to the children that are trafficked? >> some are trafficked for sexual exploitation. some are trafficked for organ harvesting. some are trafficked for child labor. >> there are concerns that some of these children in the northeast could end up back in the hands of boko haram. >> of course, it's possible. because we have seen in nigeria
10:36 pm
just like in other countries that are having issues of security where the children are being used as soldiers. and we also know that even here in recent times with some of the suicide bombers being young children. >> well, you tell me. >> back at a hotel, we make the call. it doesn't take long. [ inaudible ] >> $200? [ inaudible ] >> $300? all together, how much? >> he says the orphans extended families will need a cut and they all need to agree that the money is enough. >> $500 for both children? >> yes. >> okay, let me decide if we want to do that and then i will
10:37 pm
call you. okay? >> okay, okay. >> thank you. $500 for two children. two orphaned, incredibly vulnerable children just sold off like that, for $500. >> we didn't follow through with the transaction, but they kept calling us. the children in nigeria's north bear the brunt of boko haram's reign of terror. even here in the displaced camps, it seems there is no real refuge. no place the children can safely call home. cnn, nigeria. >> and you follow our coverage, please head over to cnn.com. find a report about a man on social media every day for the last year holding a sign,

million worth of merchandise. but how did they manage to pull it off? >> cnn sat down with a former policeman and a former bank robber to find out. >> i think there's a good chance the police may find some forensics in the vault area because they were in there for days rather than hours or minutes. when you're in that sort of environment, you are going to sweat because of the stress of it all. >> if you'll notice, they're wearing white surgical type masks over their ski masks. that's basically to avoid dna being left, the slightest little bit will be picked up. and also because the police forensics now have facial mapping. i had it in the case of mine 15 years ago. >> the lock on the security gate is -- how can i describe it? i'd say it's mickey mouse.

this is so well organized and so well planned, it's highly likely they had a key or they forced it somehow. and once they're in, if they get challenged, they obviously had a strategy. >> they're a very professional team. but they're not the brains. that's quite obvious. they know the camera is there. you can tell that by the way they keep their heads down as they come through. >> i have little doubt that, you know, a human cry has gone out into the criminal underworld and someone may know who these people are. either the police will pay for that information or they'll get the information. they'll be able to turn that person. by that i mean, turn him into an informant. >> this is the kind of job you dream about. this is the job, from a criminal's perspective.

this is the one you retire on. having got away with it like this, i fancy they won't be seen again, these people. >> it was just like that movie, which was oddly enough named" bank heist". >> incredible insight there. some real monkey business afoot at a zoo in the netherlands and a drone paid the price. the zoo was hoping to shoot video of the chimps. but apparently nobody asked the chimps if it was okay and clearly it was not. >> the chimps got a little curious. they crowded round to see what they'd actually done. so clearly they won't be doing that again. maybe they should just fly it a little higher next time. >> made my head spin just a little bit. >> okay. folks, thank you so much
