11:01 pm
this is "cnn newsroom." and we are following breaking news in eastern china. the country's premiere is now at the scene where a passenger ship capsized in the yangtze river with 458 people on board. the captain and chief engineer have been taken into police custody. >> that happening just within the past hour. state media now reporting the ship went down during a storm as it traveled between two cities. 13 people rescued. five body recovered. let's get to our correspondent and the bureau in hong kong. anna, a few have been saved from the waters. give us an update on the ongoing rescue efforts and who has been arrested. >> well, errol the latest person to be rescued is an 85-year-old grandmother. pulled out of the water in the last hour. apparently she reportedly was
11:02 pm
saying to rescuers, thank you, thank you. so, you can imagine the frantic desperate search under way currently in the yangtze river, taking place, walter ter is dep 15 merters. 13 people have been plucked alive from the water. but many, many more are still missing. five body have been found. but we know there are thousand of people on the scene, divers, rescuers, hundred of ships that are trying to help look for any survivors as well. we know that the currents are strong in the river. they have had to slow down the three gorges dam to slow the current. to aid the rescuers. we know that the ship went down about 9:30 p.m., last night. that is according to state
11:03 pm
media. and according to the captain, chief engineer, who as you say have been taken into custody, they say that a cyclone hit the ship and that it went down within a minute. we are also hearing from authorities, errol, that most of the people on board are senior citizens. they were part of this charter cruise. taking place. as you say between two of china's largest cities. halfway through a 13-day voyage when the ship went down. errol. >> heartbreaking to think you had essentially a ship full of elderly people who at this hour still need to be rescued. we are watching some of the recent video coming into us. you talked about some of the manpower. they're trying to drill. saw, burn their way into the vessel to get to survivors. but talk to us about the weather and the challenges it's posing to those rescue efforts right now. >> for sure. as you are looking at pictures now, looks quite calm.
11:04 pm
it is overcast. has been raining. and certainly last night. according to the meteorological agencies they said there were storms that, that it was extremely windy, torrential rain. so, that was something that, that rescuers last night were having to deal with. we are also hearing from state media it was survivors, initial survivors from that, that ship. that swam to shore. and they were the ones that alerted authorities. so it took some time before rescue efforts were, were mobilized. but, as we say, there are hundred, hundred, still missing. and, most of them are being senior citizens looking at dramatic pictures. you can see the rescuers welding the hull of the ship is exposed from the water. we understand from, rescuers that they have found signs of life. they have heard voices. they heard knocking on, on the hull of the ship. so, as you can imagine they're desperately trying to rescue those people hoping that some
11:05 pm
people are still alive. >> yeah, these are the key hours when they certainly could rescue and save people's lives. ana coren on the breaking story out of hong kong. following the ship that sank on the yangtze river. thank you, ana. >> ana was mentioning the weather conditions how bad it was. our ivan cabrera joins us, meteorologist. ivan, we heard the ship went down, the ferry went down at 9:30 at night. there were storms, the weather was bad. it's looking overcast now. talk to us about the conditions when this happened. and of course, now perhaps more importantly, now as these rescuers try to find survivors, what are some of their challenges when it comes to the weather? >> obviously a tragedy there. i have to say weather conditions yesterday were poor. this is not a surprise this time of year across china. we can really get downpours during this time of year. our east asia rainy season here.
11:06 pm
so you can imagine, if you were a captain of a ship, and you are used to doing this route, along the river, you know you are going to possibly run into some of these storms. and yes, the one that they ran into was particularly strong here with torrential downpours and wind estimated anywhere from 60 to 90 kilometers per hour. that's going to do a couple things obviously visibility will be an issue. more importantly the wind can churn up the waves and really get you into trouble. especially a smaller boat. that's what we had going here. you can see, that this not just included the province here. look at the rainfall across the region here. that particular spot. upward of 60 millimeters in six hours. the kind of rainfall rates we can get this time of year with this semipermanent front. now the front does meander through the season here. shift to the north and the south. thankfully what is happening. getting a push of colder air. what that allows for the
11:07 pm
stationary front to begin to move a little further to the south. i think what you saw in the picture. overcast. light rain. what we don't want is heavy thunderstorms can churn up the seas and cause, conditions to be very poor. for the search-and-rescue to continue. so we'll follow that for you. as the far as the wind, 20, 40 kilometer per hour wind. not out of the question you. see the stronger wind staying to the north. certainly, some good news there for the, for the search-and-rescue over the next couple days. guys. >> ivan cabrera keeping an eye on the condition there is for rescuers. many thanks to you. >> want to turn now to iraq where security officials say an isis suicide bomber drove a tank rigged with explosives into a base near samarra, the explosion killed at least 34 iraqi police officers and wounded dozens more. >> meantime, iraq's government is investigating who exactly gave the order for troops to retreat from ramadi last month.
11:08 pm
critics have said troops lacked the will to protect the key city. but the speaker of iraq's parliament tells cnn they were following a direct order it's just unclear where that order came from. >> foreign ministers at international coalition fighting isis are gathering in paris for a summit today. barbara starr reports on the growing concerns about isis gains. >> reporter: 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 50,000 troops according to u.s. estimates. >> the fact is that isis has a lot of momentum right now. stow what we are dealing with is essential government that has in
11:09 pm
essence practically lost control over large sections of the country and large sections of its armed forces. very dangerous situation to be in. >> from falluja and ramadi in the west and mosul in the north. u.s. military officials privately acknowledge in the sunni areas, isis has gained ground and is not on the defensive. as the pentagon has publicly said. isis stockpile of captured weapons, is growing, the prime minister al abadi said. >> translator: we are going to lose more tanks and humvees. >> reporter: all this raising urgency at the white house, pentagon and cia about what happens if abadi cannot win against isis. >> on the military side, i actually have asked my staff
11:10 pm
before i left to look at what we can do to increase our enabling of iraqi forces. >> barbara starr reporting from the pentagon. ian lee is tracking the developments and joins us now from cairo with the latest. ian these are disturbing details of course. isis gaining ground. stockpiling weapons. an seizing these 2,300 humvees with a conference on isis scheduled to get under way in paris in the next few hours. what can we expect from that critical meeting of foreign ministers. >> rosemary there is 24 nations attending this conference. talking, about a, an array of things. first you have how to stop isis militarily. how can iraq defeat, defeat them, also, what the international community can do to help them. to help retake ramadi, retake anbar province, and eventually retake mosul. a tall order as we have seen
11:11 pm
isis has been very difficult to, to defeat so far. as they, they continue to advance. but the other, probably more crucial aspect of the conference is trying to create political dialogue. how to create a road map to include the sunnis in the government to represent bridge the divide created. this mistrust. get them working together already. we have sunni tribal fighters. work, fighting with the government. how to embolden them. how to get them more capable to take on isis. but also, once this is over, if they're able to defeat isis, how to have a reconciliation between the sunnis and shiites. if we remember this really all began because of the deep mistrust between the sunnis and shiites. it is going to be very difficult to bridge the divide. something they're hoping to tackle at the conference. >> of course this is coming as a lot of people, critics calling for a change in strategy. we'll see what happens with
11:12 pm
that. what more are we learning about what is happening on the battlefield right now as the iraqi forces, these shiite militias and sunni tribal fighters try to work together to defeat isis militants? >> well we heard, just recently, about that, that deadly suicide bombing with the tank. that went to the base near samarra. pushed aside two humvees blocking the entrance they couldn't do anything to stop this tank from reaching its destination. we have seen a lot of similar attacks like that. they have been devastating to the iraqi military forces. the united states has sent 1,000 anti-armor missiles, weapons, to the iraqis. to help them combat that. that really is -- is desperately needed because it would stop those kind of attacks. but, we're hearing also that, that the u.s. is talking about helping train the sunni fighters as well. to get them -- just up to speed,
11:13 pm
really. get them profient enougho take on isis. to defeat isis. that is going to be crucial as well. going forward. also the other crucial elements will be, for this, for the talks in paris to, to confront this shiite, the shiite militias to make sure they are and remain under baghdad's control. and when they do enter anbar province, when they push forward that they act accordingly and not have these allegations of human rights abuses we have seen in the past. >> exactly right. of course we will be watching the arrivals of, of the leaders, the foreign ministers there, those 24 nations. next hour. in fact, there in paris. we will cover that summit. ian lee bringing us up to date on the sich watuation from diec. >> americans are dissatisfied with the military campaign against isis. you see the results of a cnn/orc poll on your screen.
11:14 pm
finding 63% of americans disapprove of how president obama is handling isis. >> just 38% believe u.s. military action against isis is going well. >> former liberal democrat leader charles kennedy has died at his home in scotland. his death is not believed to be suspicious, but it is not yet clear how exactly he died. kennedy lost his seat in parliament in last month's general election where he had been a member for more than 30 years. >> that's right. and the current liberals democrat leader nick clegg released this statement -- charles kennedy was 55 years old. >> now the acting head of the transportation security administration is being reassigned after what is truly a damning internal investigation over airport security in the states. >> it is indeed. the department of homeland

rephotographing for years now taking pictures of other photos and altering them. in response to the growing criticism. prince posted this bizarre message on twitter. and he has yet to compensate any of the original photographers. so is what prince doing legal? christopher bucafusco joins us from seattle, professor of law at cordoza law school. all wondering, if an artist takes your instagram images or selfies even do you have legal standing to them? >> well, as most things in the law. it depend. it depend on the circumstances for which you made the images. and it depend on the ways in which the artist used them. >> the way in which we are seeing this artist use images is there is a slight modification. it's kind of referred to as appropriation art. you take some one's religional work and tweak it. essentially.

and pop art especially based on this for decades. it stand on something called fair use as well. so in the context of people posting images and another artist doing what we are seeing here and selling them for tens of thousand of dollars, where does the law stand in this situation? >> so the law makes this kind of behavior generally copy right infringement. if you take creative works and republish them in ways that will be copy right infringement. the fair use clause in the united states copy right law says certain behavior. ones we think are valuable, good for society, add creativity, those aren't copy right infringement. that's what the law said previously in a case, richard prince was sued by another artist, when he used some of his photographs. in a different set of appropriation art images. >> so you just have to be

mindful and cautious of that. but we saw, and we do see similar things in music as well. robin thicke's blurred line, similar to marvin gaye's give it up. the gaye family awarded $7 million. do you have to prove your original work is valuable to take some one to court and prove the copy right. >> surprisingly not. so the situation is different there. in the situation with marvin gaye and robin thicke two people competing in the same industry. at least the courts seem to think. people who, are buying the, marvin gaye song may be in the market for the robin thicke song. in circumstances like they were, richard prince and instagram. unlikely any body purchasing images on line itf they were fo sale will be disswayeded from doing so because of the richard prince images exist.

>> to be clear you would expect anything on instagram is fair game for the world, would you? >> not fair game for the world. going to depend on the kind of things people are making use of works for. if richard prince or some artist is posting original images on to instagram as a way to market and sell further copies of them. if some one comes along and recopies those and attempts to sell those it looks look a problem. so, so, this is the situation with, with, the internet. right. it's got to figure out the cases in which, people are doing something new and creative. and situations their whr is possibility for market substitution. >> new frontier for all of this, legal, kind of, wrangling. christopher bucafusco joining us from your web cam in seattle. thank you for joining us. >> thank you very much. >> posters beware, basically. high speed police chase in the u.s. state of texas ended in
