11:00 pm
we start this hour with new developments in burundi. three generals are detained in connection with the attempted coup. isis leader releasing a new you'd audio message calling for more recruits. and the moment the amtrak train derailed in philadelphia, investigators say it was traveling at twice the speed limit. and in nepal, after two brutal earthquakes relief is not making it to those who need it most. i'm natalie allen. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. you've watching cnn newsroom. and we have breaking news out of burundi. reuters report willingiing that generals arrested in an attempt
11:01 pm
had coup. the press reports that loyalist military forces arrested several leaders involved in the coup bid. cnn is attempting to confirm these reports. let's bring in our robin kriel, following this developing story from nairobi, kenya. what are you hearing from these latest reports, robin? >> reporter: yes, conflicting reports over who exactly has been arrested, if it was one general or three generals. at left for now, we understand that the main leader of this coup attempt has still not been arrested. but according to the press, a wire service here, with a strong presence, the general told them that he has decided to surrender. he says, i hope they won't kill us. >> let's take our viewers back to now this all started when the president was in tanzania.
11:02 pm
>> yes. the president was in tanzania for an east africa community summit on the crisis in burundi and that's when this coup was announced at the attempted coup was announced. and these soldiers went to various key points. the state board closed the airport. yesterday you saw that presidential troops loyal to the president started to fight back and seize back some of the key points. but this problem has been going on for around a month, natalie. we can take you back and see exactly what happened, how it all spiraled out of control, as we take a look at the rap of events surrounding events surrounding witness's events and what looks like it has failed. >> and where is the president at this time? do we know? >> he says that he tweeted yesterday, natalie, that is back
11:03 pm
in the country, and that he is at an undisclosed location for safety reasons. he thanks burundis for staying calm and this has been an ongoing situation. we've seen massive protests, thousands and thousands of refugees going to neighboring countries and elections looming around the corner. whether they will happen or not is a question that leaves a lot of, that begs to remain unanswered. we did do an explainer package to describe how this all started. let's take a look and see what it says. >> do we have that story? apparently we don't have it ready right now, robyn. we will try get to it later. and we will follow this developing story. thank you, robyn kriel from kenya for us.
11:04 pm
>> we have information on the leader of isis calling for more terrorists. there is another reason for the audio message as we learn from our chief correspondent jim sciutto. >> reporter: in a new audio message isis leader makes a threatening new appeal. calling on new recruits to join the group or fight quote in his land or wherever they may be. heard for the first time in six months, he he references the air campaign in yemen which began on march 26th. a sign he survived an air strike which iraqi officials say he was wounded in in february. air strike after devastating air strike. american officials say the u.s.-led air campaign is having a punishing effect on isis. its fighters and the u.s. said, its leaders. >> if you look at the extent of
11:05 pm
isil's reach about a year ago and look at where it is now you can see it has been pushed back in many, many places. >> now the iraqi military says a coalition strike killed the second in command of the terror group. whose roots in isis date back more than a decade. he has been a key u.s. target with $7 million bounty on his head. the pentagon tells cnn it has no hard evidence that he is dead. >> there have been people burned in the past when they've said they've struck and destroyed a target or killed an individual and suddenly that individual pops back up somewhere else. >> it is not clear however, how seriously the death of a senior leader would change the equation on the battlefield. when the leader of isis's predecessor al qaeda in iraq was killed in 2006 the group he led survived and to this day controls large parts of sir whya
11:06 pm
and iraq. as with all terror groups, leadership did matter. >> they control the operational tempo and the design of the operation. especially in this organization, which has key leaders from both terrorist background but also from military background. >> again, jim sciutto reporting for us from washington. cnn con trb outer michael weiss says the crux of the latest isis message is nothing new but is meant to prove that he is still in control. >> he was hit in an air strike, unintentional hit, the u.s. didn't know they got him in late march. his spinal cord is injured in some capacity. his left leg apparently is immobili immobilized. he is down but not out. he is incapacitated but as you know, sitting in a hospital bed, you can still give commandments and orders and run the day-to-day operations of isis. yes, this communication is
11:07 pm
clearly designed to give proof of life and that he is still running the organization. >> it looks like another cultural disaster is about to happen thanks to isis and this is happening in syria. syrian opposition group says militants are two kilometers away from the ancient town of a world heritage site with temples, statues and monuments dating back to the first and second centuries. syria's director of antiquity says it faces the same fate as ancient cities destroyed earlier this year. aid organizations are working to get supplies to millions of people desperately in need after the nepal earthquake but the u.n. says it is just not getting the money it needs fast enough. the officials say they have only received 15% of the $423 million in financial aid requested.
11:08 pm
joining us from deli with the latest on this, and that certainly is a disaster considering the thousands and thousands that need this help, sanem report that's right. that is dreadfully low because the united nations say they normally receive 50 to 60% of what they request during a humanitarian cries like this. this could be for two reasons. one, there is a donor's meeting coming up. that's when buy lilateral count get together an pledge for nepal's reconstruction p. they could be waiting for this. or it also could be because nepal's political system is quite fragile. this government has shown to be quite inefficient, inept, at handling a crisis like this.
11:09 pm
that's what a lot of experts on the ground are saying. this could be for either of those two reasons. on the ground, what is happening in nepal is a lot of the aid that is reaching the district head quart rs is not actually going to the villages. not getting to the villages where people need it most. that's because of the politics in place as well. a lot of the political parties, about 30 of them in nepal, a lot of the political parties are hoarding the aid to give to their own constituents. in the first few weeks we didn't see that. it is happening now so they can get political mileage. this is a huge concern for the ad agencies and nepal agencies. yesterday they went to the most effected district with the head of another leading political party to show that government is working in unity here. but whether that translates to local level is yet to be seen. natalie? >> yes. and as far as this government
11:10 pm
and their unwillingness to move this process forward, are there any countries that they may invite in to help them with this? >> there's at least 30 countries involved in the relief operations in nepal. and a lot of aid agencies with all of the different united agencies. world bank. so a lot of agencies involved but nepal is sort of trying to coordinate all these different agencies involved and that's been the problem really. because there's too many interests here. nepal obviously has a fractured government from the beginning. a government that hasn't been able to put a constitution together. there is no unity in the government. that is the problem is that the aid is coming in, but distribution is a problem because the government itself is to fractured. >> thank you. and yes, there are many countries there pepping and
11:11 pm
tryinging to reach these villages to bring aid and in just a moment we will have the latest on that u.s. helicopter that went missing during one of its flights. we'll have a live report from nepal on that. stay with us. it's so shiny. i know, mommy, but it's time to let the new kitchen get some sleep. if you want beautiful results, you know where to go - angie's list. now everyone can get highly rated service

his cell phone and turning it on to call 911. his attorney says his memory may return after recovering from a concussion. his attorney claims he was not using his cell phone, sleeping or using drugs or drinking during the crash. >> the engineer had a loss of situational awareness. meaning he didn't realize exactly where he was. he may have thought he was further on in the route than he was. i doubt that there was a failure of the throttle. that's a very rare in the engine history of railway engines. so it's inexplicable. breaking news right now into

11:30 pm
yesterday. we actually flew past 35 kilometers and we went out about 80 miles east into the epicenter of the second earthquake that rocked nepal earlier this week on tuesday. h is the area the u.s. marine helicopter was op right ra operating in, delivering supplies to people who regions that have been cut off because lands slides have closed roads. the helicopter was heading back toward katmandu. they reported a fuel problem so they were heading back west towards the city and apparently went down about 21 miles or 5 kilometers east of katmandu. we are checking constantly to find out how the crew members are doing, but we just don't know right now. >> very, very sadden deed but it has been found. it reported fuel problems. is that the last communication with the helicopter as far as we know, will some.

>> as far as we know, that the last communication. there was radio transmission that the helicopter had some sort after fuel issue and then nothing in receive rool days that searchers have been looking for it. no emergency beacon detected. no phone calls from a satellite phone. no radio transmissions. now all we know is this helicopter has been spotted. 11,000 feet up. very rugged terrain. mountainous terrain. very difficult even for aerial sear ofs to get an eye on the ground because the clouds are so low. but there is a nepali helicopters that spotted this plane, according to brigadier general. and now they are sending in forces on the ground to get there as quickly as they can. >> we know as you said, you went up in a helicopter there, will. tell us more about just what you saw from your vantage point as far as devastation.
11:32 pm
>> we followed the same route as yesterday. they admission and their mission was so deliver relief. that's why the americans came here to nepal along with so many other countries. because they are trying to help the thousands of people, traps tens of thousands of people who remain in very dire situations right now. there are some villages that we flew over where most of the buildings and homes were destroyed, natalie. these are people who built their homes in many cases by hand. there isn't insurance p. there is no easy way to recover. we saw people standing on top of their crumbled home, waving to us thinking we were there to provide supplies or relief. it was heart breaking. the relief mission does continue but appears now the search mission, search for this missing helicopter may be over. >> as you say, they are heading
11:33 pm
to recover the helicopters and see perhaps what happened. thank you so much for your reporting, will whitley live for us there in katmandu. thanks, will. china's premier wants political trust with a fairer international order. the premier and india's prime minister just wrapped a news conference in beijing, they are teaming up on a number of fronts to grow their economies. china recently invested heavily in india's rival pakistan and that caused tensioned between india and china. and this trip is aimed at rebuilding both trust and trade. david mckenzie is covering it for us. he joins us live now from beijing and a fairer international order. that sounds quite broad.
11:34 pm
what are they accomplishing there, david? >> a good point, natalie. the leaders are big on the statements an not necessarily big on specifics. they though they did sign 24 different agreements on a range of issues, mostly diplomatic from everything on space cooperation between the two rising space powers to increase support outside of the capital. they pushing this as a major break through. but certainly it is just an important meeting between the leaders of asia's two powerhouse economies. $72 billion in trade between india and china. that sound like a big number but most feel that could be higher if there was more investment in this. also, india has a trade deficit to china. certainly still an issue. overhanging all of this though i have to say is some of the
11:35 pm
things between the two countries. mostly because of a disputed border region that has been disputed for some decade. but isn't any nearer to being cleared out. chinese president said according to the ministry of foreign affairs they should put this aside to focus on what they can achieve. but at today's press conference, the prime minister of india did give us slight dig to chinese counter parts. take a listen. >> i stress the need for china to reconsiderity approach on some of the issues that hold us back from realizing full potential of democracy. >> so certainly, a small dig there but overall, the statements and the show of ceremony and pomp will be to show that china and india can work together rather than work
11:36 pm
against each other. >> who initially reached out to whom to make this visit happen, david? >> this is in a way a return visit. was ping went to india last year. the home stayed of modi. now they repaid the favor when modi came into china, they met in the incest ral home and meeting the leader outside of the beijing so they want to show that they are willing to make a special maneuver, what could be the most important relationship in this region. and in fact potentially in coming decade, the world. because china has invested heavily in india's neighboring countries in particular pakistan as you mentioned, there is some level of tension about the investment of china. but they have promised to increase cooperation on issues specifically around infrastructure.
11:37 pm

11:43 pm
if we're all supposed to answer hypothetical questions, knowing what we know now, what would you have done, i would not have engaged or gone into iraq. >> political observers say jeb bush said have been ready to answer these questions without missing a beat, since his brother, george bush, authorized the iraq invasion in 2003. >> equivalent to a strong category 2 atlantic hurricane, of course, this is in the western pacific at the moment, it is just that most of our compute are models have this storm going north of guam but that's not the case. radar shows it could make a hit on the north side of the island. something we will pay close attention to and update you on. this is the latest 175 kilometer mile per hour winds sustained.
11:44 pm
there is guam. northern island just north. this is the latest radar imagery. this is why what i was talking about is our latest computer models indication, could go along the northern ensections of guam. center of the storm located here. you can see how that eye wall looks as if it will impact north of guam with heavy rain fall but the center of the storm where we find the strongest of wind looks to impact that part of the island. we look out for strong equivalent to category 2 hurricane force winds. that means easily if excess of 170 kilometers per hour. here is the typhoon truck. expected to move into open waters. not impact the philippines and eventually moving out to sea. again not before impacting guam and the northern mare anna island. back to the suites quickly. we have much-needed rain fall taking place in southern california. flash flood watches for greatest san diego region. los angeles, half inch of rain fall today.
