how much someone does 13, 14 years later in an investigation, if you don't have the evidence, you don't have a case. in two days isis claims suicide attacks. and u.s. republican presidential hopefuls gather in new hampshire where they set their sights on hillary clinton. welcome to cnn newsroom. i'm paula newton. ♪ we begin in iraq where it is 11:00 a.m. the city offer bill has been taken by a suicide bombing near the u.s. consulate. isis is claiming responsibility.

four people were killed, 18 wounded. until now, erbil was considered a relatively safe area. for the latest we are joined by the iraq bureau chief. mitch, i'm wondering at this point now n terms of the city being shaken, it being one of the most deadly attacks isis has been able to mount in that city, what is the mood? are they fearful this could be the beginning of something larger? >> that's what everyone is waiting to hold their breath and see. two suicide bombings since mosul fell. people are used to the notion that about 30 miles from where i'm sitting right now there's an active front line against the islamic state. some level of violence striking erbil was anticipated. the question is this a one off or the sign they have managed to push an islamic state cell in to

erbil that the security forces haven't been able to figure out yet. that's what people are waiting to see. will there be a follow up attack. >> you have so much experience in the area. isis pushing toward where the largest oil refinery in iraq is sitting right now. although iraqi forces say they are in control of it. we have the latest bombing we just discussed in erbil. what material impact are those 0 coalition air strikes having from the air? >> well, it depends on what you mean by material. if you are a kurdish mand commander on the front lines, they have been helpful in sort of staunching the flow, the territory they lost particularly last summer. the islamic state finds it harder to gather forces and do these like 400 man multipick up

truck attacks on towns they were so successful in doing last year. they can't do that anymore. what we are finding is they are formidable fighting forks very disciplined and adapted to the coalition air frens presence. some guys get bombed every night but a lot get through and you see them able to pursue offensive operations in predominantly sunni areas that are out of the control of the iraqi government, like you would see around the oil refinery in baiji and ramadi. >> a long protracted battle. appreciate your update from erbil. >> always a pleasure. >> thank you. we want to bring you breaking news just in to cnn. there are reports that a migrant boat has capsized off the coast of libya. officials in malta say that boat capsized overnight with as many as 650 migrants on board. malta's local newspaper reports at least two dozen people have

been rescued. so far. the italian coast guard is handling the rescue operation. we are joined now from rome with the latest. in terms of what transpired here, i understand there was a merchant vessel in the area and it was able to rescue these people. but there are reports that they had seen bodies in the ocean. what more can you tell us about that? >> the operation going on right now, coasted guard told cnn they can confirm several bodies have been pulled from the water, several victims have been pulled from the water. 28 people they have rescued so far. several merchant ships involved in the operation and these merchant ships more and more are becoming part of the rescue operation. the resources for the coast guard and navy are limited. they are racing to try to find people. this boat as we understand with as many as 650 people on it was

a larger vessel, maybe two-level vessel that had gone under in increasingly difficult seas. is of course spring weather. it's not smooth sailing as it is in may and june. people are setting out from libya any way despite the rougher weather coming again. 11,000 people arrived last week from april 11th until yesterday. because the seas had calmed and people came in massive droves. so we are seeing people coming despite the fact the weather is changing which makes the whole thing more dangerous. this is a boat, bigger boats tend to carry more minors and children and families because they are deemed to be safer than the fishing vessels. this underscores the humanitarian disaster underway here. >> the tragedy unfolding here is quite grim. in terms of the context for all of this, we have spoken many

times before about the fact that italy was asking for help. they couldn't keep up the cost of trying to mount the operations. it is my understanding that italy has been more active in the seas. >> absolutely right. for one year italy had a program that cost the country 9 million euro a month and had dedicated vessels out there looking for migrants in trouble. 174,000 people over the course of 2014 were rescued in that operation. they stopped the operation in november. the european union's border control started their own program. they only have one or two boats and a couple of airplanes looking for migrants. they are not a search and rescue mission, they are border control mission and they tend to use the italian coast guard, as well, and tend to call merchant ships which is a changing dynamic in the rescue operation. it has been a 40% increase in

merchant ships. these might be cargo ships, oil ships or, you know, any of vessel that is privately owned that are called to rescue these migrants. of course these boats don't have -- these merchant ships don't have facilities, food and water for as many as 200 to 300 migrants they are picking up. it is causing a real problem. we had a situation in which there were several burn victims that came out of libya that had been involved in an accident before they left. picked up, the merchant ship couldn't handle them and they had to call the coast guard and had a serious emergency situation. as many and more of these people come and resources are stretched, you are going to see more deaths like what we are hearing today. >> much more troubling especially, as you say, it doesn't seem to deter people from actually trying to make that absolutely dangerous crossing over to european shores. in terms of the rescue effort,

we are saying perhaps a couple of dozen have been rescued. what kind of operation can they mount? i know it is certainly light now. it is about 10:00 a.m. where they are. do you think in terms of the conditions that they will be able to rescue more people? >> it depends what they have got to hold on to. these boats don't have lifeboats. these are people out in the open seas. because there was a merchant ship in the area, because someone was able to throw something out for people to hold on to, saving 28 people out of 650 is not a great percentage of survivors, by any means. but they have got people in the area. the mediterranean in this area, between it tally -- you see a big clump of boats in that area

that presumed area. there are a lot of vessels trying to find survivors. at this hour, understand they made a distress call last night. it took a long time to find this boat and, you know, it doesn't look good for the huge number of people. of course, this follows an accident we heard last week with 400 people simply disappeared in to the sea. the italian coast guard and navy are not in the business of recovering bodies. they are looking for people who are alive. not focused on the boats going down. so many times they are crammed in the hulls of this boat and the bottom of the boat. the boats go down they are not going to find, be able to go deep down in to the sea and find what happened to these people. it is a tragedy on top of a tragedy. >> in terms of the political context, has there been anymore movement politically in europe to try to deal with the situation? the i tall wran prime minister was with here in the united

states talking to president obama at the end of the week. he did talk to him about this problem. is there anything europe thinks they can do to stem the flow? and as you say it will continue as the weather gets better. >> the european union has a meeting in may which they will present an agenda how to deal with the problem. that underscores the way the wheels turn. there isn't really a policy, per se, how to deal with this emergency situation. italy and because they are the border country, they have the water border they are the ones that are really, really bearing the brunt of the rescue operation. so many migrants don't have any intention to stay in italy. they move up north and move to find family in france, almost all go to france or try to go to france or germany. the holy grail is to go to the u.k. that's where everybody seems to want to go. harder to get to the u.k.

it is run through a series of human trafficking networks. so once they use the human traffickers to make the water crossing, there's a host of human land traffickers that get them where they want to go from here. italy is filled with migrant, refugee camps where people are divided based on where they are coming from and their family situation. the camps are open. they are not gated communities. a lot of people -- they can go and try to find work, seasonal work, especially in the summer. a lot of agricultural work for people or they can leave. that's been one of the big complaints by the european union against italy it doesn't better controls to keep people in the country if they ask for asylum here. they are supposed to stay here. italy feels they can't handle it, the sheer number of people, 174,000 people. italy has its own economic crisis. unemployment is extremely high here. there is some kind of unspoken

turning a blind eye to the situation. and the people do move on in to europe. so, europe does take a lot of the people, whether it is an unspoken policy or not. paul la? >> we are getting word from the italian coast guard they confirm there have been 28 people rescued now and they can confirm 23 people have died. the reason this is so tragic is that is likely just the beginning of the death toll. people that they have spoken to on that merchant ship that had come on board. those 28, some of those people saying there were absolutely hundreds of people on that boat that as you said called out the distress call overnight. we have to underscore here, those hundreds of people, in many cases, paid thousands of dollars to unscrupulous human traffickers to get on the rickty boat with no life preseveners, no lifeboats, not adequate food,

supplies, facilities, nothing. >> human trafficking aspect of this tragedy, of this tragic summer we are facing and the year we had last year, i think will have to be the focus. the european union to their credit has said they really need to stop the traffickers. the problem in so many of these cases, though, is you have the traffickers, the true traffickers are in libya and they may be asked to give someone a discount on their fare in order to drive the ship. you have the people actually bringing the ships over aren't necessarily the bona fide traffickers. they are part of the network but a smaller part of it. those people are almost always generally arrested. the italian authorities have a good system in which they pull out the traffickers. especially a people who drive the boat are traffickers. but stopping the traffickers is

a very difficult situation. that's going to have to happen in libya or in the country in sub saharan africa because the network is so strong and so well connected. you know, we were -- i talked to a migrant i had been following for several months who came in december. he explained to me there's almost like a trip adviser system for these traffickers. where you can actually recommend a trafficker, oh, they have a good boat or yes, they give you water. so it is not as sort of under, not as covert as you would think. people can wire money to the traffickers. you can get from one place though other. it is very organized and a lot of people in the european union think it would be easy to break but such a demand to leave these war-torn areas and get to europe it seems hard to comprehend how

they could stop, how you could stop that trafficking ring when there are so many people who still want to come. >> such a complicated problem and it continues. we will let you go and get more information from the italian coast guard on the continuing rescue operation off the coast of italy and malta. as many as 650 people dead. the boat capsized. we don't have any specific information but coast guard says 28 rescued and 28 confirmed have died in that incident. pope francis is asking the international community to do more to help the increasing number of migrants. the problem continues to be grave. the pope made the plea during his first official meeting with new italian president. the mie dprants are often fleeing conflict or persecution in places like afghanistan and syria and as you heard from barbie aushlg of the problems on the african continent as well.

>> i would like to express my gratitude for the commitment italy is making in accommodating the migrants who risk their lives asked to be welcome. it is clear portion s of this phenomenon require a much wider involvement. we must not tire in urging a broader commitment at a european and international level. >> italy scaled back a search and rescue operation in the mediterranean after it was unable to convince other european countries to paid pais the $10 million a month operating costs. elections are now a long way off in the united states, but republican white house hopefuls are making their pitches nany way. ahead their not so subtle jabs at the only 2016 democratic candidate so far. people will gather in oklahoma to remember one of the greatest tragedies in u.s.

history, the oklahoma bombing. terrible weather could be on the way there. we will tell you more about that when we get back.

presidential election in the united states is more than a year away. in fact, about 18 months. so long to go and yet when you look at the state of new hampshire wouldn't know it. it is like it would be next month. 19 potential republican candidates are there this weekend for what they are calling a leadership summit. a chance to meet with voters and test out their stump speech s before the state's first in the nation primary. athena jones reports on what some of the politicians had to say, including their attacks on one particular candidate. for the most part the candidates and potential candidates speaking here stuck to cutting taxes, cutting government spending. we heard quite a bit of criticism of president obama and hillary clinton who's the only democratic to officially have thrown their hat in the ring. >> as i was coming up, i was a little startled because i could have sworn i saw hillary's scooby-doo van outside. then i realized it couldn't possibly be that because i'm

pretty sure y'all don't have any foreign nations paying speakers, right in. >> hillary clinton cannot be president of the united states but not because she's a woman with. hillary clinton must not be president of the united states because she does not have a track record of accomplishment, because she lacks the candor and transparency. >> reporter: hillary clinton will be in new hampshire on monday. rand paul made some of the most interesting remarks. without naming names he criticized some other republicans in the race for being too supportive of military solutions to the world's conflicts. as you mentioned something that could be a theme of the next campaign season, senator paul was unique among the speakers in talking about his vision for the republican party and now it needs to expand beyond the traditional base to be successful in 2016. >> one thing i'd like to leave you with is i'd like for you to think about how we are going to move forward and how we are going to win. i think we need to stay true to

principle. i don't think we need to dilute our message, but i think our message needs to be carried to new people. we need to talk -- [ applause ] >> -- we need to talk to business owners. we need to talk to the workers. we need to talk to rich, poor, white, black, brown. we need to go out and go places we haven't been going. >> reporter: a big weekend here in the first in the nation state and it's only the beginning. athena jones, new hampshire. >> 20 years ago today the united states suffered one of the deadliest terror attacks the nation had ever seen when a truck bomb went off in oklahoma city. 168 people lost their lives. 19 of them children. hundreds more were injured. memorial now stands at the site honoring those who lost their lives and the people whose lives were affected forever. the memorial museum hosted a reunion between the rescue workers, investigators and law

enforcement officers of that day. former president clinton who was in office at the time of the bombing will return to deliver raerks during a remembrance ceremony. there severe weather may affect the ceremonies marking that 20th anniversary. this was the scene on saturday afternoon in oklahoma city. wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour were reported by cnn affiliate kfor. it is an incredible sight with more severe thunderstorms ripping the south. we want to bring in derek. we know this is typical for this area. we hope it will not mar what is an already grim event. >> it does appear the bulk of the energy creating the severe weather will move east of oklahoma city in to sunday. however, that wasn't the case for saturday as you saw a moment ago. i pulled up the satellite loop across the greater midwest of the united states. there's oklahoma. you can see the line of thunderstorms coming through.

look at some of the footage, as well. i want to point out these are called ma mmmatas clouds. good indicator that severe weather will be present. turbulent atmosphere with up and downdrafts. pilots often try to navigate around those clouds because it leads to strong winds and the possibility of tornados, as well. look at the line of thunderstorms on the computer screen that moved through the oklahoma city region. they continue to move eastward. they are clearing out nicely. the low pressure system is to the west. there's drier air moving in from oklahoma city. we had, in total, about 137 reports of wind and hail damage. the bulk of that severe weather will shift a little eastward on sunday. this time the bull's eye over memphis, little rock and shreveport, louisiana and even in to jackson, mississippi. keep you in to oklahoma city at the moment. we had a 4.1 magnitude

earthquake earlier on sunday morning. that's 35 d 34 miles north of oklahoma city in an area called langston. no damage or injure aries according to the logan county sheriffs department. there are a few tremors of 3.9 on the richter scale. just following that as well. over the western half of the united states, we have had brushfires over the greater los angeles here. look at some of the footage out of the riverside county region. this is a wildfire near corona, california. it prompts authorities to issue a mandatory evacuation for area residents. this is known as the highway fire. it is threatening 300 homes. the fire grew from 30 acres to 300 acres with only 15% containment at the moment according to the riverside county fire department. by the way, there are approximately 335 firefighters and two air tankers battling this blaze. so paula, a lot to talk about in

the weather center but we'll hand it back to you. >> in california with the drought, definitely a lot to talk about for weeks to come. appreciate the update. iran celebrated the military with an annual parade showing off the latest weaponry. the country's president had a message for saudi arabia. a new u.k. election poll shows two of the main parties in a virtual dead heat. details on that up next.

hello. i'm paula newton. an update on the top stories we are following this hour. a major rescue operation is

underway off the libyan coast. a boat capsized overnight with 650 migrants from libya on board. the italian coast guard confirms at least 28 people have been rescued. 2 3 have died and hundreds more have missing and feared dead. isis is claiming responsibility for what's believed to be the first major attack in afghanistan. at least 35 people were killed when a suicide bomber on a motor bike attacked a bank in gentleman lal bad. united nations and the taliban are condemning the bombing. saudi arabia said it will provide $274 million in humanitarian aid to yemen. at the same time, saudi-led air strikes pound targets inside of yemen. the u.n. says 730 people have been killed in the air strikes and ground fighting. gunmen killed two truck drivers in maley. they were working with the united nations convoy. it happened late friday in the northern part of the country. after the shooting the gunman pmen set the trucks on fire.

other contractors were able to escape. >> back to our breaking news story of a major rescue operation off the libyan coast. a multi-level boat capsized with 650 migrants on board. the coast guard confirms 28 people have been rescued. that boat apparently did call out a distress signal overnight. we are joined by phone with the latest. anymore news you can give us on the rescue operation? >> the italian coast guard said they have a number of vessels searching for survivors and may have found something to hold on to. of course these people have been out in the rougher. there's a storm brewing in the area. that's going to hamper the

rescue.

500 people died off the coast. it prompted italy it is a difficult situation for the italians. they feel their responsibility, obviously, the water, they are the closest navy to these people in distress.

they have to save lives. they really are stretched. the european union's border control agency has a couple of boats and planes doing surveillance. most of this is falling on the shoulders of merchant ships, private vessels who are carrying their cargo on the route through the mediterranean who are diverted and called to do rescue operation when they are not adequately trained. they don't have facilities on the merchant ships. they get people on board, treat them in some situations, kind of people everything corralled without food or water until an italian rescue vessel can come and take the human cargo as it were off the merchant ships. it is a chaotic situation. we have story, three dreadful stories about how christians were thrown overboard. 15 men in prison right now for multiple manslaughter, for tragedy that went on within the

tragedy on one of these boats. it was an argument and several people were thrown over for praying. we had a report last week, as well, that as many as 70 people suffered some sort of accident on the libyan coast. they were burned and human traffickers made them get on the boat any way. they spent two days with terribly severe burns as one girl, her face was almost completely burned who was on the boat for two days. a tragedy that is getting worse and really sort of approaching anarchy out there right now. >> the amount of misery and pain these people are going on. have there been -- this is a huge political story in europe, especially in italy, has there been any kind of a creative process where people say, look, is there anything we can do to try to stop these boats from departing in the first place? try to stop them before they hit the water? >> well, european union is

calling for -- they have a meeting and are calling for some sort of a force, let's say in libya to try to at least take some political asylum applications before people leave. at least that way they could have a place to go once they get to italy and get here in a safer way. you know, they have a meeting in may to introduce an agenda. for the italians certainly that's too long to wait. you don't need a meeting to determine what to do when you are just basically answering sos calls and saving lives out. there most of migrants don't stay in italy. most want to get to europe, join family in france, germany, get to the u.k. a lot of them don't sna italy for a short period of time. italy has refugee camps all over the country. 1100 people that came last week were moved to the north in to camps there. those people will soon be gone.

the camps aren't guarded. they are not gated communities. they will sort of slip away in to europe through another human trafficking ring. there are human traffickers making hundreds of thousands of euro on the misery of other people. >> yeah, continue to update us when you have more information. and we thank you for the insight. russian president putin appears to have softened his anti-american rhetoric. a new move after a period of tense relations with the u.s. and the west especially over the conflict in ukraine. in a television interview on russian tv on saturday, mr. putin said russia needs to work with the united states on their common international agenda. >> translator: we have di agreements on some issues but at the same time there's something that unites us and forces us to work together.

first of all, i mean this is well known, nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction, the fight against international crime and terrorism with poverty on the planet. >> iran's military came out in full force on saturday for the sunt's annual army day parade. president rouhani used the speech to hammer saudi arabia for leading a bombing campaign against yemen. iran has been accused of arming houthi rebels in the kunl. it showed off iran's latest weapons technology. >> reporter: one of the things on display today was a rolling robot with two launchers on the back. it's unclear how well this piece of equipment works. it was towed by a truck when it was brought across the stage where the v.i.p.s were sitting. however, there were new piece s of equipment we haven't seen in the past, as well. one appears to be a mix between

a tank and armored personnel carrier. they labelled its an eight-wheel tank. new missiles and bombs on display, as well. a lot of what the iranians produced forces not as sophisticated produced by the united states or russia or germany for that matter but they have a substantial military, industrial complex they are proud of. however, we always have to emphasize the real strength of the iranian military lies in the personnel. it is one of the most disciplined, motivated fighting forces in the world. if you look at the elite revolutionary guard corps that is certainly a force that is very powerful. and really makes iran one of the most powerful militaries in the entire middle east. >> that was our frederick piken there in teheran. iran's president says the military operates on a defensive strategy and does not want war. with less than three weeks until britain's national

elections, new poll shows a tie between two of the top party contenders. an icm poll has david cameron's conservative party tied with the labour party at 32% support. despite opinion polls which consistently show neither parties likely to to win an overall majority in the westminster parliament. so the dpesing game continues. the election will be on may 7th. a social network for marijuana users. ahead we will show you the man who's making that idea a reality. a police officer in the u.s. praised for holding fire. startling video of his confrontation with a murder suspect. use listerine® and over 21 days you'll experience a transformation. take the listerine® 21 day challenge and start your transformation today.

s. hello, we begin this hour with breaking news of a major rescue operation under way off the libyan coast. a multilevel boat capsized joefr night with at least 650 immigrants on board. the italian coast guard says they have recovered 23 bodies, hundreds more are feared dead including many children.
