2:01 am
world. we begin in the middle east, where isis is making substantial gains. more than half of syria is now said to be in the militant's control. a look at this map shows the scope of what's happening. you can see areas controlled by isis on january 15th. and take a look at the same map now. as of friday, you can see the isis-controlled areas in red have grown. meanwhile, there say looming humanitarian crisis, an estimated 36,000 refugees left their homes in ramadi and the syrian city of palmyra. our cnn international correspondent nic robertson has more. >> reporter: twice this week, isis forced two different arab armies to flee. in iraq, ramadi. in syria, palmyra. arguably, this is the terror's group's best week in a year. combined their battlefield successes are isis' biggest
2:02 am
strategic gains since the swep across iraq last summer. in syria, the radical islamists now control more than half the country, according to the syrian observatory for human rights. the latest attack added more oil and gas fields, more ancient artifacts. and the key highway intersection, all potential money owners. they also cemented their control of syria's border crossings into iraq late this week, taking the last outside the kurdish region not already under their control. their advances at types hard to follow. >> it's hard for to us nail down with any sort of granularity what's happening on the ground. >> reporter: the speed of isis' syrian advance questions the vulnerability or willingness of president bashar al assad's forces to hold ground. local reports describe the
2:03 am
syrian army fleeing palmyra. by design or default, he's losing east of syria to isis. in ramadi, iraq, where ramadi special forces can call in u.s. air support, the army also retreated as isis closed in on them. it seems reminiscent of isis' sweeping gains last summer, the terror group seized more weapons as government stockpiles fell into their hands. >> not something that you predict happening. but we heard, you lose some, but you have to have endure. >> reporter: for now, battlefield momentum is with isis, quickly moving on from ramadi towards baghdad. at the end of the week taking the town in totality, gains
2:04 am
connecting greater control of the border between iraq and syria, to gains west of iraq, isis' power base is growing and so are international concerns. >> translator: we must build a new syria which can be rid naturally of the regime of bashar al assad. but also above all, of the terrorists, because they are in a country and they're making progress. so we must do all we can so a political solution can be worked on. >> reporter: the bottom line right now, what syria, iraq and their allies not least the united states, are doing to crush isis is not enough. nic robertson, cnn, london. >> isis continues to advance at an alarming rate. let's now bring in our cnn correspondent ian lee, live in cairo with more on this story. ian, good day to you. what more can you tell us about these images that have been
2:05 am
released showing how isis has stepped in and taken over in palmyra? >> reporter: we've seen their flag raised over the castle there. one of the iconic sights. really, isis showing off their gains, what they've captured. and the world's attention has been on the battle for palmyra. and so, isis is now showing that they are firmly in control, after some heavy fighting. and as we heard in nic robertson's report, a lot of concerns about the future of those sights, as well as the antiquities there. i talked to one -- one person from the state department about antiquity sales. they told me if they can't move them, whether they're too well-known or can't sell them on the black market, isis usually destroys them. but if they are small, they will go to funding the organization. so isis just really rubbing salt into the wound by releasing
2:06 am
these pictures, george. >> ian, what more are you tell us about these isis advances? and we're seeing so many people flee by the thousands trying to get to safety. >> reporter: that's right. you know, tens of thousands of people, trying to get out of their way. and really, they're the lucky ones. anyone who can get out of isis-controlled area, as we've seen reports coming out. isis going door to door looking for people they could see as a threat. executing people. beheading people. a very gruesome reality there in the territory that they control. they have taken the city of zaba along the corridor leading from ramadi to fallujah. they are fighting currently in haladia. they need to stop the isis
2:07 am
advances along the corridor. right now, it doesn't is seem they have the ability to do that, although we do know the shiite militias and iraqi army are preparing for what we're expecting to be a counterassault. >> it will be interesting to see what it takes to stop isis as it continues to advance close to the city of baghdad. ian lee, live in cairo. ian, thank you so much for your reporting and insight there. a federal police officers and dozens of suspected gang members are dead after violent clashes in mexico. it happened in a state in western mexico boarding the state of jalisco where a powerful drug cartel is known to be based. officials say the firefight lasts three hours with three standoffs in a very large area. it was the sage region where a mayoral candidate was assassinated just last week. >> translator: our country isn't in flames. our country isn't burning.
2:08 am
i think it is clear that we are all working towards generating better development. generating better opportunities and with it reducing violence. nevertheless, in all regions, all over our country, we'll be working for it. >> three gunmen were also arrested after the shoot jute. the u.s. capitol, prosecutors say the man charged in a quadruple murder could not have acted alone. daron wint faced a judge for the first time on friday. he's accused torturing and killing a powerful washington businessman, his wife, their 10-year-old son and the family's housekeeper. cnn's pamela brown has more from washington. >> reporter: the newly released court documents suggest darin woointd arrested overnight in a massive police takedown could not have acted alone, allegedly kidnapping and holding the sav 0 pop plus family and their housekeeper for 18 hours before
2:09 am
brutally beating them and stab the them. >> we tracked them up to new york city. and we barely missed him. >> reporter: sources tell cnn wint had been hiding out in his girlfriend's new york city apartment possibly since sunday and made his way back to washington where he was arrested overnight. and police spotted wint getting inside a white chevy cruz ago with three other women. >> we fold them for about four or five miles they did a wacky u-turn, we thought maybe they thought they were being tailed. we continued to follow them we called p.g. county police and they sent up a helicopter. >> reporter: inside the box truck, police found at least
2:10 am
$10,000. tonight, investigators are looking at what role the group may have played in the brutal killings of the sovopoulos family, especially in light of holding them had hostage, extorting them and burning down the house. >> you don't have to spend multiple hour, eight, nine, ten hours in someone's home to extort money. and in this case, i'm very certain that the father would have given the offender ten times $40,000 just to get them out of the house. >> reporter: new court documents including autopsies released tonight show just how brutal the 18-hour ordeal was. 10-year-old philip savopoulos was found burned with stab wounds in an upstairs bedroom. the other adults were found in another room with blunt force wounds. firefighters tried to save the housekeeper, but she died at the hospital. tonight, investigators appear to be questioning the story told by one key witness who police say was a frequent driver for the
2:11 am
family and was asked by savopoulos to pick up the $40,000 ransom at the bank of america and deliver it to the family. police say in court documents that that witness changed his or her story about the cash drop you've to the home. zbloous senators have been working extra hours ahead of the memorial day holiday. late friday night, the senate passed the bill that would prevent congress from tinkering with international trade agreements negotiated by the white house. and they've just been ordered back from their holiday break early to resume the debate on the country's controversial bulk collection program. opponents of the national security agency on collecting telephone data blocked attempts to extend the law that authorize the program. the senate will meet again, next sunday, one day before that law expires. >> the u.s. state department has released the first round of hillary clinton's e-mails from when she was secretary of state. the 300 e-mails came from a controversial personal e-mail account, and they offer some
2:12 am
insight into how miss clinton handled the deadly attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi, libya, in 2012. the white house says the e-mails do not change its understanding of what happened there. it was also revealed that information in at least one of the e-mails has since been classified. miss clinton has always defended her right to use that private account. you are watching "cnn newsroom." still to come, these live pictures in ireland, where voters are hours away from knowing the result of an historic vote on same-sex marriage. a live report from dublin is next. plus, a shocking admission from a u.s. reality tv star. how the network is responding. >>hi, i am heinz >>new mustard.is?! hi na na na na >>she's just jealous because you have better taste. whatever. >>hey. keep your chin up. for years, heinz ketchup has been with the wrong mustard. well, not anymore. introducing heinz new better tasting yellow mustard.
2:13 am
2:15 am
welcome back to "cnn newsroom." these pictures there in ireland where they've begun tallying votes to find out whether same-sex marriage will be aloud into the country's constitution. if that referendum passes it will be the first time the country has adopted same-sex marriage through a popular vote. results are due by the end of the day, our cnn phille black, correspondent there, following all the events from dublin. phil, we'll soon know the results of this vote? >> reporter: yeah, it's very slim. there's huge anticipation here,
2:16 am
obviously, even though it's really a very short time. special media, irish media, has been flood by the claims of victory or otherwise. certainly those who support the yes campaign, some of them are making very confident predictions. they believe they've done very well, quite possibly won this. the turnout for them was certainly very high. this is 12ing just looking at twitter right now as we speak, a leading figure for the no campaign, david quinn, associated with an activist with the catholic church is congratulating the yes side, he says, well done. so there's an indication, at least, very early here, even though official results have not yet been posted by elected officials here in ireland, there is a feeling that this is going to the side of the yes camp. that is, by both sides, not just yes supporters, but also those who support the no votes. interesting developments here so
2:17 am
quickly. as i said, the turnout was big with the yes campaign. there's no doubt that yes campaign was able to successfully generate enormous support and enthusiasm through this campaign, to the point where we've seen big numbers of people travel internationally to be here in ireland. this is irish citizens living overseas, just so they could take part in this referendum. take a look. ♪ ♪ are you ready are you ready for love ♪ >> reporter: these people really want to vote. irish citizens abroad weren't allowed to take part in the referendum, so this lot traveled across the uk by train then by ferry across the irish sea to dublin. it's not hard to pick which side they support. ♪ >> whoo! >> reporter: no singing in the polling stations. this is where irish voters must decide if they want their constitution to say two people
2:18 am
can marry under the law, regardless of their agenda. this woman voted yes. >> i think it's only fair to give them the same rights as every other person has. >> reporter: colin wants change, too. >> i think it's important to the measure of not all, but most european advanced countries. >> reporter: and we heard similar views at polling stations across dublin. >> i'm going to be voting yes. >> i'm going to vote yes. >> reporter: but yes supporters aren't happy about the result. this was the capital, the support for change here was always expected to be allow and enthusiastic. the no vote will do better in regional areas. and all sides here talk about high no-voters. the unknown number of people who quietly oppose gay marriage and who could help to decisively wrote it down. >> i voted no. >> reporter: keith mills is a
2:19 am
gay man who opening opposes gay marriage. >> i'm a gay man, but i support the idea that a child should have a mother and father where possible. by redefining marriage, we're going to be redefining family in the irish constitution. that's just something that i don't believe we should do. >> reporter: this sparked months of fierce debate with strong words and hurt feelings on either side. many people are going to be happy. accepting it and moving on will be ireland's next challenge. george, it's worth remembering that this is a country in which only 22 years ago, sexual activity between men was outlawed. now today we will find out if this country is prepared to enshrine within its constitution an equal right for couples that gather for their gender. it's really amassed the possibility of transformity of social change but there are many people here who believe ireland is ready to take this step, george.
2:20 am
>> it is a controversial vote, but, phil, as you mentioned in your piece, regardless how it shakes out, a lot of people will not be happy in a country that is majority catholic and very conservative. phil black, we appreciate your reporting live in dublin for us. thank you. gay rights laws certainly vary around the world, but in at least 76 countries seen here in yellow, homosexual acts are considered illegal according to the ilga. that is about 40% of u.n. member countries. and the red countries on this map, homosexual acts are punishment by death. that's five countries and some parts of nigeria and somalia. in the united states, one of the stars of a hit reality it v show called "19 kids and counting" is embroiled in scandal. the duggar family's oldest son josh has admitted to molesting several girls when he was a teenager including his younger sisters. that revelation is costing him
2:21 am
more than embarrassment. our randy kaye has the story. >> reporter: 15 successful seasons for the duggar family's reality show "19 kids and counting." but the secret is out. josh duggar now 27 and the oldest of the children on the tlc show had sexually abused several girls when he was a teenager and his parents didn't report it for some time. "in touch" magazine broke the story. >> a total of five victims, the ages, if you do the math, they range between probably 5 and 12 years old. >> reporter: in touch magazine obtained the 2006 report. the magazine reports that josh duggar was investigated for multiple sex offenses. in touch found that jim bob duggar, josh's father, told police he was made aware of it in 2002 when a girl complained josh then 14 had been touching her breasts and genitals while she slept. instead of alerting authorities,
2:22 am
though, the magazine said is jim bob told police josh had been disciplined. then it reportedly happened again in 2003. in a state released thursday, josh duggar said 12 years ago as a young teenager i acted inexcusably for which i am extremely sorry and deeply regret. i hurt others include might go family and close friends." what josh duggar's statement doesn't say that his parents didn't tell police about what had happened until one year after their son had confessed to them. one year. and even they, they reportedly alerted an arkansas state trooper who was also a family friend. that trooper didn't take any official police action. instead, the magazine said trooper joseph hutchins gave josh a very strong talk. hutchins by the way is now serving 56 years in prison for child pornography. police only started investigating in 2006 after an anonymous alert to the oprah
2:23 am
winfrey show, warning producers if the duggars appeared on oprah, they would be embarrassed. the team called the hot line and police started asking question. "in touch" told police in 2006 that josh told mother and dad what had happened and asked for forgiveness. all of this has fans of the family's hit show reeling. the duggars are devout collisions. josh duggar also worked as the lobbying arm of the family research council, a group known for advocating against the rights of lgbt community. it also said gays posed a danger to children. josh also backed his mother's work opposing an ordinance designed to protect transgender people in arkansas. michelle duggar appeared transgenders to child predators. >> to hear her son, most of the
2:24 am
family knew what he had done, so yeah, it's hypocrisy. >> reporter: tlc pulled "19 kids and counting" from the schedule. it is heart wrenching video from the california coastline. you can see this sea lion surfing basically on the coastline after he was caught up in this oil. authorities are stepping up their response to the week's ruptured pipeline in santa barbara. they've ordered additional investigations to track down the people responsible for this mess. and they've ordered the pipeline operator to shut down and make safety improvements. it is such a hard thing to see. let's bring in meteorologist derek van dam now. it's such a beautiful part of the country. if you've been there, you know this part of the coastline. how do they go about cleaning up all of that oil? >> well, they've got a
2:25 am
monumental task, george. the amount of oil spilled was six times the sieze of an olympc size swimming pool. what they have is specialized boating equipment that carries behind it a boom. the boom has a curtain. i'm going to step off screen so you can see the whole thing. the curtain lies one foot beneath the surface of the water and that allows it to take the top part of that oil sheen. remember, oil often floats to the top surface of the ocean. so far, they've deployed 4500 feet with 18 skimmers that put it on the ship and safely remove it from the ocean. now, there are concerns that this oil sheen has spread quite dramatically, wednesday, it was about 9.5 square miles.
2:26 am
but there are reports a sighting miles from that original spill, west of santa barbara. this is thanks to ocean currents and wave patterns. around certainly the wind say factor. northeasterly winds at 10 to 15 knots. that will continue to push this oil across the ocean surface. so they've recovered about 10% of those 2,500 barrels of spilled oil. i want to jump across the united states to another situation we're covering actively. working together with the ridge over the east, they're pulling together moisture and creating flash flooding across the oklahoma city region into parts of texas and arkansas. i want to quickly show you some of this video because you can see just how much of a nuisance this is for people there. it is, however, breaking records but also helping to alleviate a long-term drought going on in
2:27 am
that region. so some silver lining. george, check this out. this is last year, the drought monitor across oklahoma and texas. this is what it looks like now. alleviated. it looks like we've got a drug buster on its hands. major agricultural area. >> i grew up there and i was born in amarillo. i can tell you when it rain, it's very dry there. i know they're lucky to have extra rainfall there. thank you. you're watching "cnn newsroom," ahead, a baltimore grand jury returns indictments against six police officers after a man dies in their custody. the latest on the freddie gray case coming up. plus, celebrations in el salvador, as the country prepares for an important religious announcement. details ahead as this broadcast continues world against on cnn international and cnn usa.

2:32 am
the area has a history of gang violence. >> the u.s. senate has passed a bill that would prevent congress from tinkering with international trade agreements negotiated by the white house. it's intended to speed up the process to approving free trade treaties. the build head to the house of representatives where approval is uncertain. >> in less than 24 hours' time voters in ireland will find out whether same-sex marriage will be allowed into the country's constitution. if the referendum passes it will be the first time the country has adopted same-sex marriage through a popular vote. opinion poll suggested that the referendum would pass but that gap seems to be narrowing. in the u.s., six baltimore police officers will face charges in the death of an african-american man. on thursday, a grand jury indicted the officers in the death of freddie gray. prosecutors say gray was severely injured while in police custody. he died seven days later.
2:33 am

2:34 am
66%. the killings and shootings not limited to west baltimore where riots broke out last month. areas across the entire city have seen the most serious crimes on the rise. >> with a shift call we get together and say, again, we're just going to back each other up and answer 911 calls from our dispatchers. >> reporter: so no matter what they tell you? >> that's it. >> reporter: police are only responding to 911 calls. no walking beats. no investigation. just responding. the bare minimum of policing. and then only the most serious calls get immediate attention. some calls, says the officer, goes hours with no response. and when police do respond, they will only go in pairs. sometimes, three and four officers per call. their own safety, the priority. >> as officers we say, hey, we've got to have each other's back. >> reporter: the officer worked the recent protests, looting and
2:35 am
violence. the darkest day this cop has seen. on one score, the officer agrees with the protesters. >> what do you think about their claims is right? >> well, the baltimore city has had a certain mentality, stat-driven. they want arrests. he don't care too much about moving violations. they want arrests. the command staff believe that arresting people is the way of deterring crime. >> reporter: as an extraordinary condition, the police commissioner wants to rebut the allegations this officer makes on live television. here's a little bit of what he had to say to anderson cooper. >> i think the officers realize they're going through a transition. a significant change has to take place in the police department. >> reporter: this officer who is now looking for other jobs, says things are now so bad, only one thing will change everything. >> we do not believe in commissioner batts or his command staff. we want them to go. >> reporter: miguel marquez,

2:37 am
denounced the native el salvador. he was shot and killed in 1980 while celebrating mass. more than three decades later, moving one step closer to sainthood. romero began his religious career as a small-town priest in san miguel. he avoided politics, his personal collection of photographs reflecting the close ties to his flock. considered a conservative, he was named archbishop of san salvador in 1977, by a catholic church anxious to distance itself from leftist priests. but the murder of a friend and fellow priest grande just one month later brought you a new resolve. >> translator: when he sees that the father was assassinated, it's time for help. >> reporter: the archbishop is a fierce critic of the military that seized power in 1979. >> translator: in just three
2:38 am
years, six priests were killed. hundreds of faithful and many like collaborators. >> reporter: the day before he was shot, romero urged to stop killing civilians. >> translator: every soldier is obliged to obey an order that goes against god's law. it's time to recover your conscience and obey it before an order to sin. in the name of god and in the name of the suffering people, i beg, i beseech, i order you in the name of god to stop the repression. >> reporter: while his killers were never found, many blamed romero's assassination on right-wing death squads. at his funeral a week later, a scene of chaos. dozens shot down by gunmen.
