hundreds on board is tourist ship that sank in the yangtze and the ongoing desperate search for survivors. >> plus, a new treatment that could provide a potent weapon against cancer. >> the record setting olympian transforming into a barrier busting icon. a warm welcome to our viewers in necessary the united states and all around the world, i'm zain asher. >> i'm john vause, this is cnn "newsroom." we begin with breaking news from eastern china. the captain and chief engineer of a ship that capsized in the yangtze river have been taken

into police custody. >> state media reported the ship went down during a storm as it traveled from nanjing to chongqing. >> meantime, rescue crews are racing against time to find survivors. only about a dozen people have been rescued and five bodies recovered. let's get the latest from ivan watson. why have the captain and the chief engineer been detained. >> presumably because under their watch, this vessel carrying some 458 passengers and crew capsized and sank. and as a result, there's this, you know, desperate rescue effort to try to find anybody possibly alive. now, the cctv, chinese state television reporter on the scene just reported live witnessing divers pulling a woman from this overturned ferry boat. a woman that the reporter said

showed signs of life. that's an encouraging report from the scene now that you have rescue crews frantically trying to reach people who are on board this ship that overturned now more than 12 hours ago. the captain and the first engineer have reportedly, again, according to chinese state media, said that a cyclone hit the ferry boat as it was on this 13-day cruise down the yangtze river and that the vessel then overturned within the space of about a minute. well, according to the meteorologists, there was indeed at 9:00, 10:00 local time on monday, there was indeed a cyclone at strength level of 9.2 which would lend credence to the account given by two of now it

appears some 13 people rescued from this ferry boat. the captain and the engineer. now, we've also just gotten reports that the chinese premiere, he has arrived on the scene to personally oversee some of the rescue efforts. and we've spoken with relatives of some of the passengers on board this vessel. now, they were predominantly, john, senior citizens who were on tourism trip. you could buy, according to the website of the travel agency that apparently organized the trip, you could buy tickets for as little as the equivalent of $160 togoona 3-day trip traveling up the river from the eastern city of nanjing to the central chinese city of chongqing. and the vessel had made about

half of the voyage before this disaster struck. we've also gotten reports that the three gorges dam on the river, that it has reduced water flow within the past couple hours to help assist in the rescue efforts there. live images from the scene show that it is foggy, but it does not appear to be dramatically windy right now. but of course, the rescue efforts, very, very difficult. some of the images we've seen of people literally trying to burn holes with welding torches through the hull of the vessel to perhaps reach anybody alive inside, hoping, praying that people could be trapped in air pockets long enough for them to reach other people that could perhaps be rescued. so a very desperate rescue effort underway. >> very quickly, ivan, is there any suspicion that they were negligent in their duty, some

kind of criminal negligence here. they're among a dozen people who may have survived this out of 458. it sounds a lot like the sea wall ferry disaster of south korea just a couple years ago when the captain and crew survived but 300 others died. >> i think it's far too early to make any accusations. but the fact that the senior members of the crew have been taken into police custody, that does suggest that chinese authorities at the very least are investigating them. and after all, they're in charge of the vessel. this is a large boat with hundreds of people on board. four stories of decks, of cabins above water that has overturned. again, they argue that there was a cyclone that hit, so perhaps there was some freak weather occurrence that could have capsized a vessel so quickly. but there are going to be a lot of questions about how a ferry

boat of this size could have capsized without any of the passengers and crew, without more of them able to escape in time. >> okay. ivan, thank you so much. live for us there in hong kong. later this hour, we'll have a closer look at the water conditions that could have play add role in the ship's sinking. want to take you to iraq now where isis has delivered a brutal blow to iraq's offensive. they say a suicide bomber drove a tank rigged with explosives into a base near samarra. here's our barbara starr with more. >> air strikes by iraqi forces against suspected isis militants designed to show iraqi forces in the fight. but disturbing signs even in government-controlled baghdad, the reality is different. isis claimed responsibility for

two hotel bombings in the capital, unsettling residents in a city ringed by 100 iraqi battalions, as many as 100,000 troops. >> the fact is isis has a lot of momentum right now. we're dealing with a central government that has in essence practically lost control over large sections of the country and large sections of its armed forces. >> from fallujah and ramadi in the west and mosul in the north, u.s. military officials privately acknowledge in these sunni areas, isis has gained ground and is not on the defensive. as the pentagon has publicly said. isis stockpile of captured weapons provided by the u.s. to the iraqis is growing, the prime minister says. >> translator: we lost around 2,300 humvees in mosul alone.

and we're going to lose more. >> all of this raising urgency at the white house, the pentagon, the cia about what happens if they cannot win against isis. >> on the military side, i actually have asked my staff before i left to look at what we can do to increase our enabling of iraqi forces. >> that was barbara starr reporting from the pentagon. we're going to have a report from baghdad looking into the limitations of the iraqi air force struggling to slow down the isis advance. a new poll flies americas are dissatisfied in the campaign against isis. it shows 61% think the fight is going badly. and on the question of a home grown threat, more than three in four polled think that americans affiliated with isis could help

launch a major attack on u.s. soil. two people have died from an outbreak of middle east respiratory syndrome in south korea. officials want to ban people exposed to the virus from leaving the country to of course prevent it from spreading. i'm joined now by kathie novak. we don't know much about this virus. it was obviously discovered back in 2012. but we know that it is primarily spread through contact with camels. do we know how the two people who died got the virus? >> those two people were linked back to the original person who brought the virus back from the middle east. he had been traveling in the middle east, came back to south korea, felt ill, was hospitalized and then was diagnosed with mers. from there, other people came in contact with him. these two people who died actually share add ward in the same hospital as the person that

is being called patient zero. a number of other people who came in contact with him or his family members and friends have also been linked back to this man and have been since diagnosed with mers. but since then, there have been two additional people who did not contract the virus directly from him. that's becoming a growing concern here because it means it is indeed spreading beyond this initial person. >> we know that south korea officials want to ban people exposed to the virus from leaving the country. what else are they trying to do in order to contain the virus? >> yes, that ban is being suggested by health officials to the government because, as you know, about 700 people are being quarantined at the moment who may have come in contact with anyone who may have been exposed. and we know one person brought the virus through hong kong to china. and hong kong and china are

countries that experienced the sars epidemic. so there is alarm there that another respiratory illness has been brought to china. here in south korea, they have been stepping up the action on the part of the task force that the government has set up making sure these people are now being quarantined to try to contain it and stop the spread beyond the people so far identified. we are being warned there are people on watch and that health officials do expect more cases to come out now. >> south korean officials came under fire for how they handled this outbreak in the early stages. let's hope they can contain it. okay. live for us in seoul, thank you so much for bringing the story to us. what seems to be good news now. two drug combination could mark the beginning of a new era in cancer treatment. they can empower a patient's own immune system to recognize cancer cells and destroy them.

>> it sounds very promising. >> it's one of the deadliest forms of cancer. advanced melanoma is responsible for thousands of deaths around the world each year. pam smith was diagnosed with skin cancer for the third time. it seemed she'd run out of options. then she was offered a chance to take part in a new therapy. >> the drugs have shrunk the tumor from 9 millimeters down to 4 millimeters. afterwards, they found light lesions on my lungs. even they have shurnk now to tinier than a pinprick. >> it's auld immunotherapy and essentially teaches our immune system to attack cancer. the two drugs were used in an international study paid for by the drug maker bristol-myers

squibb. ann mccarthy explains how it works. >> one of them stops the cancer cells from hiding from the immune system. it almost unmasks them and unveils them. the other one works by giving our immune system a boost which means we have more immune cells to target the uncovered cancer cells. >> in almost 60% of cases, the disease was held in check or tumors shrank. >> it's offering new hope to patients with advanced melanoma. this new result is very, very encouraging. >> even better news, the treatment could work against other forms of cancer as well. scientists caution a lot more research needs to be done. many of those who took part in the study had major side effects and the drugs didn't produce the same positive results in all participants. but those involved in the study believe there is a chance that

immunotherapy could revolutionize cancer treatment. cnn, london. we take you to the soccer world now where there are reports that the number two man in fifa has now been implicated in a scandal rocking the sports world. they report that fee a fa secretary general jerome valcke transferred $10 million to another official back in 2008. >> jack warner, he is among 14 fifa officials charged. the indictment does not say valcke knew the money was being used for illegal purposes. valcke has not been accused of any wrongdoing. meanwhile, jordan says he hopes fifa president will take responsibility for the scandal. >> the former fifa vice president -- >> your sarcasm there. >> he would have resigned in his position.

>> i was obviously totally surprised. and i think it's sad for the world of football because so many great people out there working for the benefit of the sport. but for sure, obviously if i was in his position, i would have immediately resigned and probably more so ages ago. because at the end of the day, this happened under his watch. >> and what do you think, as you say it happened under his watch, what do you think about his defines in the face of these indictments? he's called it a little storm, not a hurricane. he's called it a hate campaign by the west, by the united states and britain. >> yeah, i think that that's sort of rather ridiculous. this kind of politicking is again one of the things that is really damaging for the sport as well. >> prince ali actually lost his bid last week to replace blatter

screeners and/or their equipment should locate and at least flag for additional screening. >> teams with the department of homeland security inspector general's office posed as passengers and attempted to pass through checkpoints with mock explosives and weapons. a government official says tsa failed 67 out of 70 tests. >> to miss 67 out of 70 different instances is extremely alarming and i would say even dangerous. >> i am putting a detonator into the plastic explosive. >> cnn was there in 2008 for a similar covert operation. that time, it was tsa testing its own officers. >> can't see it. >> at the checkpoint, the tester is wanded and patted down where the fake explosive device was

concealed, but the screener missed it. it's not until the tester lifts his shirt up. the department of homeland security says it immediately directed tsa to implement a series of actions, several of which are now in place. >> is it the technology that's failing or is it the screeners themselves not following proper protocol. if the screen lg equipment is failing and not doing the job, that's a large systemic issue that tsa needs to address. >> rene marsh, cnn washington. >> certainly not very reassuring. we want to tell you about a story everybody has been talking about. caitlyn jenner, formerly known as bruce jenner, has introduced herself to the world. >> in fact, a record setting one. jenner reached over 1 million twitter followers in a little more than four fohours.

>> bruce always had to tell a lie. he was always living that lie. >> caitlyn jenner talking about her former self, bruce jenner, opening up about her transition during this two-day photo shoot for "vanity fair"'s july cover. >> caitlyn doesn't have any secrets. as soon as the "vanity fair" cover comes out, i'm free. >> a very different cover than bruce jenner's 1982 playgirl. we last saw bruce back in april when he sat down with diane sawyer. >> my brain is much more female than it is male. it's hard for people to understand that. but that's what my soul is. >> bruce had been taking hormones, had his body hair removed, his nose fixed and his trachea shaved. but it was his facial surgery back in march that completed the

transition and caitlyn's new look. >> i was probably at the games because i was running away from a lot of things. very, very proud of the accomplishments. i don't want to diminish that accomplishment. >> that accomplishment landed bruce jenner in the history books. he broke the world record in the 1976 olympics winning the decathlon at just 26. he was the guy on the wheatties box. in this extensive 22-page cover story, caitlyn reveals that during speeches after the olympics, she'd wear a bra and panty hose under her suit. she also shares she suffered a panic attack the day after that ten-hour facial femininization surgery. the article also reveals caitlyn hosted girls nights where she could dress and feel like a

woman. even her daughter attended. to those who think this transition is a stunt for tv ratings, caitlyn says think again. >> it's not about the fanfare. it's not about people cheering in the stadium. it's not about going down the street and everybody giving you a pat on the back. this is about your life. >> a life to be lived now as caitlyn jenner. she posted this on twitter, i'm so happy after such a long struggle to be living my true self. welcome to the world caitlyn, can't wait for you to get to know her, me. >> and the reaction to jenner's transformation has been overwhelmingly positive and supportive. she'll receive the arthur ash courage award and twitter has been abuzz. lady gaga tweeted this, caitlyn

thank you for being a part of all of our lives and using your platform to change people's minds. >> and this one says, by sharing her journey with the world, caitlyn jenner is accelerating acceptance of transgender people everywhere. and a senior advisor to president obama tweeted, nice to meet you, brave choice to live as your authentic self is a powerful example to so many. >> britain's press association is reporting that charles kennedy has died at his home in scotland. his death is not believed to be suspicious, but still not yet clear how he died. kennedy lost his seat in parliament's constituency in last month's general election. he had been a member of parliament for more than 30 years and was just 55 years old. when we come back, the iraqi air force stretched to its limits. we'll look at the challenges

welcome back. you're watching cnn "newsroom." i'm john vause. >> and i'm zain asher. in china, the country's premiere is now at the scene where a passenger ship capsized in the yangtze river. the ship's captain and chief engineer have been taken into custody.

both claim the ship went down after being caught in a cyclone. 458 people were on board. >> there are reports that fifa's secretary general jerome valcke allegedly transferred $10 million to another fifa official back in 2008. and that official, former fifa vice president jack warner. he's among 14 officials charged in the the ongoing bribery investigation. the indictment does not say that valcke knew the money was being used for illegal purposes. plus, an internal investigation found the tsa let weapons and explosives through airport screening areas in 95% of the undercover tests. the department's acting chief is being reassigned. and they've directed the tsa to make immediate changes. a two-drug combination could mark a breakthrough in cancer treatment. an international study found the drugs can empower a patient's own immune system to recognize

cancer cells and destroy them. the combination stopped skin cancer from advancing in 58% of the cases in this study. but more than half of the patients did suffer severe side effects. let's get more now on the capsized ship in china. bad weather may have play add role in the sinking. heavy storms were reported in the area where the ship went down. i want to bring in our meet roll gist. wouldn't they have known this type 067 weather system was moving into the area. i'm wondering if this could have been avoided in any way. >> yeah, we don't know if they had weather instruments or what kind they had across -- inside the ship. but the captain certainly will plan out and take a look at what's going to be happening over the next few days with charts certainly. now, when we talk about a cyclone here, i don't want folks to get confused. it's not a tropical psyche len.

it's not a tornado thing. it's a storm system rolling through the area. when you hear about numbers like seven, eight, nine, those are signals that signify what kind of winds you would be expecting. if there was a signal eight or nine, that would relate to winds anywhere from 80 to 100 kilometers per hour. look at the explosive thunderstorm activity. this is where it capsized there. and this is the satellite i'm showing you when it happened, a 12-hour loop. certainly we had torrential downpours here. i think the key will be significant winds coming out of the storms which churned up the seas. i think that likely will have play add significant role. investigation has to take place. visibility may have also been an issue as well. 62 millimeters, that's significant rainfall in just a matter of time. this is happening because this is the time of year where we

have this front essentially that sets up across china. it extends from the chinese provinces, crosses the east china sea and heads up into japan and it rains buckets this time of year. and it doesn't end until late summer here. now, over the next few days, we heard about the fog and some light rain out there. i think the heaviest of the rain will begin to push to the south along with the very gusty winds as well. there you see some of the wind gusts. if you get caught in one of those thunderstorms, you could be seeing wind gusts in excess of 80 to 100 kilometers per hour. that would be enough to get a boat, especially a small one, into a heap of trouble there. there's the front going a little bit further to the south. so the heaviest rain will go in that direction. guys? >> we should note, this is a couple days it takes to go from nanjing to chongqing. one of the reasons why so many

people were below decks is because the weather was bad. they are pulling people out, though. there are reports -- >> 12 people rescued so far. >> one survivor out from the capsized hull. ivan, thank you. we go onto iraq now. the battle against isis. the government there is investigating who gave the order for troops to retreat from ramadi last month. >> critics have said that the troops lacked the will to protect the key city. but the speaker of iraq tells cnn they were following a direct order. it's unclear exactly where that order came from. >> translator: the military command present was speaking about the collapse in the army and made a decision in a clear way to give the order to pull out. after that, ramadi fell. and even the prime minister and he's the general commander of the armed forces was not aware of the orders dealing with pulling out. that led to a big question mark for us. who has an interest in a direct

way in the army not confronting isis. after that isis entered ramadi and controlled it directly. >> and questions over the chain of command isn't the only challenge confronting iraq's military. >> right, we report on the struggles the air force faces as it confronts an enemy that is constantly adapting. >> locking in on a single vehicle, the aircraft fires. in this case, a successful strike. but watch this other video. a direct hit to the front of the vehicle. then, two men hiding in the bed of the truck jump out. iraq's strike capabilities limited in their strength. and its air force being rebuilt effectively from scratch has just around a dozen fighter jets to cover multiple front lines with isis that stretch across at least a third of the country.

we were just in the operations room where we were told that so far on this day there have been no air strikes. that is simply because of the weather. there is yet another sand storm blowing through. isis does take advantage of that. isis is fully aware that even with coalition support, there's still very limited air capabilities. so when launching an attack on a significant target, isis will open multiple fronts knowing they can't all be covered at once. the coalition strikes are capable of significant damage. but when it comes to an adoptable entity like isis, even that can be mitigated. says commander of iraq's air force referring to daesh. >> they using some civilian vehicles, they having themselves. they are moving, they are hiding themselves. they are using the new technical

call. sometime they are moving without any weapons. >> this is imagery from samarra. they watch the aftermath of a strike on a single vehicle. they are coming back. there are about 20 coming from the other side, one says. the suspected isis fighters swarm around. we killed six of them in that strike. they came back to pick up the bodies. the bodies are loaded and eventually driven off. were you watching isis advance to ramadi. >> yes. >> but if you saw them advancing on ramadi, why was there no strike? >> we saw them and we attacked him and we fight, we killed high numbers of them. >> how were they able to come from these open roads into ramadi? that's what i don't understand. >> they hiding themselves in civilian vehicles. now they are not moving with the

con convoy. >> it's painfully clear that the air campaign is barely causing isis to falter. >> take a short break here. when we come back, some of the biggest cities in the united states are suffering an increase in the number of violent crimes. we'll explain what's behind that. you probably know xerox as the company that's all about printing. but did you know we also support hospitals using electronic health records for more than 30 million patients? or that our software helps over 20 million smartphone users remotely configure e-mail every month? or how about processing nearly $5 billion in electronic toll payments a year? in fact, today's xerox is working in surprising ways to help companies simplify the way work gets done and life gets lived. with xerox, you're ready for real business. and life gets lived. if you can't put a feeling into words, why try?
