>> what did i know about south africa before i game here? exactly nothing, as it turns out. but i think based on what i've seen, that if the world can get it right here, a country with a past like south africa's, if they can figure out how to make it work here for everybody. absorb all the people flooding in from all over africa, continue to make mandela's dream a reality, maybe there's hope for the rest of us. isis targets a u.s. consulate in an area of iraq previously thought untouchable. >> the oklahoma deputy who accidentally shot an unarmed man finally breaks his silence. >> cringe worthy claims about what is really happening at airport security check points. that's ahead here. welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. you're watching cnn newsroom, i'm natalie allen. the terror group isis is claiming responsibility for a suicide car bombing near the u.s. consulate in irbil, iraq.

at least four people are dead. 18 others injured. police say a car packed with explosives was heading towards the building the security personnel opened fire the car exploded. the attack took many people by surprise since irbil its considered a relatively secure kurdish stronghold. journalist matt wolf saw the explosion. >> reporter: i was incredibly surprised. a lot of the foreigners and the kurds, speaking to us were surprised this is an incredibly safe area. to get closer, irbil, the countryside you go through many check points and many security checks and they check the back of your car and check everything. then when you begin to get even closer to this site, there is even more security. so i think it has everyone very, very surprised that they were not only able to get into irbil but also get on right on top of the consulate. the consulate has a high wall. very secure. has a lot of security. most of the security you

actually see, uniform, uniform, officers. it has concrete barriers, and if they want to come into the area. it is very, very secure. the consulate itself. but immediately across the street. you have a series of cafes, bars, hotels that are popular. with ex-pats and americans, foreigners, living in the area. those are incredibly soft targets. they have wide open windows. i was down there this evening. most of those are gutted. the blast and the fire that came after it, completely destroyed those. >> journalist matt wolf there who saw the explosion. cnn senior international correspondent ivan watson, spent time in irbil recently, he joins us live in hong kong today. ivan, irbil was safe, untouchable, though isis is a round. some how the militants got in. what do you make of this?

>> it's not the first time there have been bombings in irbil, the iraqi kurdistan, kurdish stronghold. in the north a great deal of security. yes, the kurdish population is largely sees isis and the sunni jihadi militants to the south as really -- existential enemies. but you have to keep in mind how close these locations are. mosul,city of mosul is an hour's drive from irbil. an isis stronghold. so this, this, close proximity of the front lines to, to the iraqi kurdish capital where you can literally drive about, a half an hour, 40 minutes. you reach isis front lines. even with the best security, you are quite close to your enemy. and -- the enemy managed to penetrate through the iraqi

kurdish ring of steel. it has -- undoubtedly shaken security. in irbil, a city that has international hotel chains, has international airport, that, international airlines fly in and out of. but it also underscores -- the potential threats to security. in iraq. which is a real hodgepodge, a patchwork of thiefdomes controlled by different groups that there completely at war with each other. it is important to note the iraqi kurdish press is now starting to report, and will be following throughout the day. a report that the kurdish peshmerga are carrying out offensive against the isis south of kirkuk, contested city in the north. largely controlled by the kurdish peshmerga, could be in retaliation for the bombing attack that has shaken the calm in irbil friday. >> yes, got very close to the

u.s. consulate. as well, not just coming into irbil. let's talk other news in iraq, ivan, saddam hussein's former number two has apparently been killed. who was he? what's the significance? what power did he have left? >> i think what's striking about the latest reports about ibriham al duri allegedly being killed. announcements made on iraqi state tv by iraqi militia commanders, by the governor of the province. what's really striking about this is the fact that -- al duri is succeeded in operating and surviving in iraq for, for some 12 years since the u.s. in vaegs of iraq. in 2003. despite a $10 million u.s. bounty on his head. despite the fact that he was one of the most wanted former figures of saddam hussein's

regime during the u.s. military occupation of iraq he succeeded in surviving and evading capture, though there had been previous reports of his demise. he was allegedly the leader of a group that called itself an army and seemed to have some kind of alliance with isis. though there were also reports of tensions between the two suni militant groups. since isis managed to capture the northern city of mosul last summer. and has succeeded in, in holding territory against the combined forces of the iraqi kurds to the north and iraqi government off to the south. if he has in fact been killed. big question -- what kind of command and control did he in fact have over isis. it seemed that he was more of a marginal figure, alongside isis. this very radical, very violent group. that is succeeding to still hold

on to territory and carry out attacks on numerous fronts across iraqi battlefield. despite air strikes against it. >> and dna samples will likely confirm that it, it was him. al-duri killed. you have done extensive reporting in the region. lived there. appreciate you joining us. thank you, ivan. 33 people are dead after a suicide bombing in afghanistan. a local official says children who were among those killed. a government spokesman says the bomber on a motorbike blew himself up in front of a bank. jalalabad. it happened at the peak of rush hour when the bank was expected crowded. 100 wounded. iran marking national army day by flexing its military might for the world to see. president hassan rohani's

the deputy's apology and ongoing investigation into his credentials. >> 73-year-old robert bates charged with second degree manslaughter after he used his pistol instead of a stun gun killing eric harris. in an interview with nbc's "today" show, bates can't believe it happened. >> first and foremost, let me apologize to the family eric harris. the second worst thing or first that ever happened to me in my life. i had cancer a number of years ago. i didn't think i was going to get there. luckily i was able to go to a hospital where i had hours of surgery. i rate this as number one. on my list of things in my life that i regret. >> bates, a volunteer with the sheriff's department for several years says he can't explain why

he confused his gun for his taser. even though they were positioned in very different locations. >> my taser is here on the front. tucked in a protective vest. my gun itself is on my side. normally to the rear. >> tonight the naacp and others are calling on the justice department to launch an external investigation following reports from tulsa world that the tulsa sheriff's department falsified training records and three supervisors were reassigned when they refused to sign documents. >> what we were told is supervisors were told to sign off on 250 hours of training. most thought of he did not have. virtually all of that he did not have. and then the -- the supervisors at the gun range were told to soon off on his handgun qualification though he did not qualify. >> bates stand by his credentials he was trained and qualified to be on the scene during the sting operation involving harris and he has dock

m men -- documentation. >> that is absolutely the truth. i have it in writing. >> but the harris family attorney questions authenticity of any documents. >> do you think the documents hatch been falsified? >> absolutely. and again, i think there were to be any records that surfaced. none have, okay. but i believe that there bates has never been trained as a, in a field training type of situation. >> cnn's andersen cooper spoke with the brother of the shooting victim. he says he doesn't buy robert bates' apology. >> mr. bates, you still have to unveil this evil. mr. bates, shouldn't have had to use a taser on my brother. mr. bates shouldn't have shot eric with a 357 magnum. mr. bates has a price to pay.

>> bates is charged with second degree manslaughter in the case. currently free on a $25,000 bail. gun fights and burning vehicles after the arrest of a suspected drug cartel leader. it all happens right on the border of a u.s. town. we'll have that coming up here. also, airport screeners. behaving badly. one official says, it happens more often than you think.

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." italian authorities have rescued migrants from the mediterranean, women and children. apparently ready to board a boat in libya to head to italy when a cooking gas cylinder exploded killing several. survivors of the blast made their way slowly in a dinghy to europe. at least one more person died during the trip. victims are now being treated at a hospital in sicily. italy's prime minister was in washington friday. he talked about the growing migrant crisis. >> translator: everything that happens in the mediterranean sea

is not merely something that has to do with security. of course it is. but at the same time it has to du do with justice and the dignity of man kind. this is why the authoritative cooperation that the united states and the united states can offer is for italy an extremely important fact. >> at the white house meetings, barack obama said he and renzi agreed to work together to fight isis presence in libya and threats contributing to the mass exodus that continues towards europe. president obama also spoke about china at the white house friday. the president trying to pass a deal that would make it easier to negotiate trade with asia. he says if it doesn't pass, china would fill the void and essentially cut the u.s. out of the world's fastest growing markets in asia. meantime, newly released satellite images show china's

newest military grade runway on an island in the disputed south china sea. these are the stills taken last month and published thursday by janes defense weekly. several countries including china claim control of the island chain. but at least one expert says, it's the manner in which china is claiming it that is worrying. >> there is nothing inherently illegal about building some building some structures and -- and even declaring an air defense identification zone. all coastal states have the right to do that. it is really the manner in which china is proceeding. that is causing concern. while other countries in the south china sea did already engage in some island construction, china is taking this to an industrial scale of hundreds of acres created

already. that all of the other neighbors combined simply can't match. i think we are going to have to see how china responds to -- to -- concerns expressed by the president and the secretary of defense and arrange of other u.s. officials that, that china really needs how to exercise some moderation here and be clearer about what it is trying to do. so, we'll have to see how china decide to proceed here. but it really seems, that they're moving forward in a very significant way. >> the most important question is when china will announce an air defense identification zone in the south china sea. he expects that will happen no later than january, 2017. well, on the mainland of china, a huge sandstorm is causing blackouts, major traffic jams, across northwestern china. and also the capital. derek vandam joins us to tell us

more about the threat. if pollution weren't enough. >> that's right. you start getting this sand which originated in the gobi the desert. starting to mix in with the air there. you have got a pollution problem. imagine what the fine particulate matter in the atmosphere can do to your health. and visibility. see people fending for themselves. as the the wall of sand and debris moves across city. 11.5 million people. now unfortunately we have another possible sandstorm. at least the same weather setup that is going to take place. into sunday and monday. so, residents across northern china and into china's capital beijing will need to look for reduced visibilities. the weekend and workweek as well. take a look at photos coming out of the region with the previous sandstorm which was on thursday. just blinding dusts. choking people any breathing as

they stepped outdoors. this is the setup going forward end of the weekend. starting early next week. we have a low pressure system that will bring rain to eastern, central portions of china. going to move across the east china sea and sea of japan bringing the rain with it. it's what is behind the low-pressure system that i am concerned about. notice the wind streams on our map. changing to more northwesterly direction. the gobi the desert located across this region, near mongolia. that is going to pick up our sand and dust particles and alug for the possible sandstorm to take shape. once again across northern china. i'm going to switch gears to talk about possibility of severe weather this saturday across the central portions of the united states. we have once again, winds, ham, tornados, wichita, kansas, oklahoma city, austin, houston, texas. lots of weather to talk about across the world. natalie, back to you. >> derek, thank you very much. in the u.s. there may be more reasons to dread going through

that airport security line. a former transportation security administration worker now says he's not surprised by the news earlier this week of two officers allegedly groping passengers in denver international airport. in fact he says, this happens all the time. and in "time" magazine, he detailed sly tactics he says are often used. tom foreman has our report. >> reporter: tsa officers using high tech scanners to identify, pull aside and grope attractive male passengers. that's what authorities say was going on at denver international until the two officers involved, a man and woman were caught and left their jobs. and if that's not enough to horrify many fliers, now comes this from "time" magazine. the bigger issue here is a systemic one, there are far too many federal hands on people's private parts in airports.

the writer is jason edward harrington, a former tsa agent who insists this sort of thing happens all the time in airports everywhere. he writes, the agent running his or her hands over you after you pass through the scanner is almost never doing for it good reason. what's more, he adds. victims will likely never even know they were assaulted, since so many passengers have their private parts fondled. to be sure, harrington has written fiery critiques of the tsa before. notably this one called, dear america, i saw you naked. he argues that full body scanners are routinely used to let officers leer at passengers and yet they find few actual security threats. tsa its steadily pushed back against notions and suggest the denver incident is an oddity. a former administrator, defends by the book pat downs. >> individual passengers may

object to that how they do that. as long as they're doing it correctly they're doing their job. >> reporter: still as authorities consider charges against the officers involved, the denver story is super charging harrington's idea. that it is difficult to tell where airport security ends and sexual assault begins. these days. meanwhile, the denver district attorney says he has heard from several more passenger whose think they too may have been groped while passing through security. tom foreman, cnn, washington. the fight in yemen continues, the cities hardest hit are left with little food and supplies. >> this is the pharmacy. this is actually the medicine store. this is all they have here. >> next here, an exclusive look inside one of the fiercest battleground in yemen. also, ahead here, a dutch photographer releasing unseen portraits of some of the world's

biggest rock stars.
