sepp blatter bows out. the long time head of fifa caves into growing international pressure. >> desperate search. time may be running out for any survivors aboard a sunken cruise ship in china. >> and new rules for the nsa. what it now can and cannot do with the information it collects on americans. >> hello, everyone, i'm rosemary church. welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. >> i'm errol barnett.

we're your anchor team for the next two hours. thank you for joining us. this is "cnn newsroom." now we begin this hour with the announcement, truly, that no one saw coming. just four days after he won re-election as president of fifa, sepp blatter says he is now resigning. >> fifa is embroiled in bribery and corruption scandals with investigations under way in switzerland and the united states. our correspondent has the latest on blatter's departure and what may have prompted the move. >> reporter: soccer's most powerful man, bowing out of the game. it was a stunning about-face. just four days after winning re-election, fifa president, sepp blatter, announced his resignation. >> translator: the elections are over. but the challenges which remain for fifa have not gone away.

fifa needs a deep restructuring. >> reporter: at the headquarters of fifa, the 79-year-old, who has been a part of the organization for 40 years, said he was leaving for the good of the game. >> translator: although the members of fifa have confirmed this new mandate to me, this mandate does not have the integral support of the futbol world and i mean by that the support of the players, the clubs, of all those who live, who breathe and who love futbol. >> reporter: blatters' critics are more skeptical of reasons for quitting. with u.s. investigators not ruling out that he is still part of their probe. the president of the european futbol federation, uefa wanted blatter to step down before the next election and welcomed his resignation saying -- during

last week's election, the only rival for the fifa presidency. >> if i was in sepp blatter's position. i would have immediately resign. probably more so ages ago because at the end of the day this happened under his watch. today he told cnn's christian amanpour. he will kconsider running again. >> i don't want to be somebody who sort of kicked somebody in the knees. but at the end of the day we have to salvage fifa. and we have to bring it back to where it should be. fifa is an organization. >> reporter: despite the corruption scandal, blatter has not been implicated. the attorney general leading the

swiss investigation confirmed today that blatter is not under investigation. mr. blatter's resignation is not immediate. under fifa rules, four month's notice must be given to member. the next election likely to be held between december and march of next year. blatter claims that will give him time to focus on implementing much needed reforms. alex thomas, cnn. >> lfor more on blatter's announcement let's bring in cnn world sport anchor, amanda davis. amanda, four days ago, sepp blatter was celebrating his re-election to a fifth term as fifa president refusing to step down. by tuesday announcing his resignation. what changed his mind? >> well, rosemary, sepp blatter has shown over the last 17 years he is tougher than most. it seems even for him, things got too tough.

the question really after friday's election, amidst all of the controversy was how long sepp blatter would really last in this new four-year term of his presidency. and the, the shots just kept on coming. there was first off the two federal cases. one based here in switzerland around the 2018, 2022 bid. the other going on -- state side into the -- into the alleged wrongdoing corruption and racketeering. a surprise that prince ali garnered so many votes from the regions of the world that he did in friday's election. there was the fifa vice president saying that he wasn't going to work on the executive committee with sepp blatter at the helm. blatter knew the top european executives, of uefa were holding

a meeting in berlin, saturday. talk of a boycott that could come out of that. then perhaps the last straw was the bringing in to all of this mud, the name of general secretary jerome valcke, sepp blatter's number two, and allegations that he was aware of this $10 million payment that was made by south africa to the concacaf nations surrounding the 2010 world cup. the suggestion is that sepp blatter's advisers in the wake of the election and saturday's explosive press conference they sat him down and said "enough is enough. we need to thing of what happens next." that led us to that surprising, dramatic press conference here in zurich yesterday. >> what a bombshell it was. am amanda, what impacts could it have on the 201 world cup in

russia, and 2022 world cup in in qatar. >> that's the main question being asked now. not really necessarily around sepp blatter's successor. but within about 30 second of the press conference ending it was all about what happens with the world cups. of course the biggest sporting event in the world really that garners so much attention. 2018, the suggestion is, that it is a little bit too close to do anything too dramatic to move it. the question's more around 2022 and qatar. of course that swiss investigation into the voting process around that is only really very much in the early stages. qatar themselves are remaining very quiet. but already -- the chairman of the english fa greg dyke says questions need to be asked. and no doubt, that who ever succeeds blatter, the report and

the publishing of the investigations into everything around that will very much be front and center. >> all right, watching the very fast-moving developments from fi fifa headquarters. amanda davis live in zurich, switzerland. >> a race against time of in eastern china right now. thousands of rescuers struggling to find survivors of a cruise ship that capsized in the yangtze river with more than 450 people on board. >> state media report rescuers are trying to cut part of the ship's hull open. they're also searching underwater and along the river. the chinese government says 15 people have been rescued so far. 18 are confirmed dead. >> we also got this new surveillance video into cnn. from a nearby ship that recorded the "eastern star" before it cap sized monday night during what it deskrecribed as a tornado.

let's get to cnn's ana coren and the rescue efforts. ana, what's disturbing is there are so many feared trapped inside the vast majority of hundreds of passengers. all reports indicate the vessel sank quickly, what are we learning now about why it went down? up aought li >> the likelihood of finding survivors is growing slimmer by the minute. it is more than 40 hours since the ship capsized with more than 450 people on board. state media is reporting that another person has been rescued. taking the number of survivors to 15. that is a 58-year-old man who, apparently was traveling with his wife. and six other, other companions. no word on whether they managed to survive as well. certainly it does look grim. we are hearing from the survivors, who are in hospital, about the ordeal that they went

through. abut, finding these air pockets in the hull of the ship. and just clinging on. hoping that they will be found in the darkness. in the cold water. divers also talking about these incredible tales of finding these people trapped. but, as i say, more than 40 hours. and we also know too, errol, that the majority of the people on board eastern star were senior citizens, retirees. b because that ship went down so quickly. 9:30 p.m. on monday night. it is highly unlikely they were able to get to their life vests and get off the ship in time. you talk about a tornado. that has been confirmed by the weather bureau, national weather bureau of china. saying that a tornado in fact did hit the region. around the time of the ship sinking. it lasted 15, 20 minutes. with wind gusts up to 110 kilometers an hour, with

diameter of 1 kilometer. so that vicious storm hitting the ship. weather obviously playing a major factor into what went so terribly wrong. >> yesterday it was around this time yesterday, the military was lending its efforts to the rescue and recovery attempt. just talk to us about how difficult it is for all of them to operate in the waters and really what it will take to get inside where they need to been the vessel where there are now potentially hundreds of bodies. it is just a huge undertaking. >> yeah, it's enormous. certainly cued surpass the death toll we saw in south korea last year. we know there are thousand of rescuers on the scene. as you say, the military police, divers, helicopters, boats traveling up and down the yangtze river looking for any of the body that may have moved off from the ship. we know that the current of the yangtze river is strong.

so they have expanded the search area up to 150 kilometers downstream. really is quite extraordinary. but they are trying to, to get into the ship. cutting holes through the hull. you have to remember though, they need to keep that boat buoyant. the reason, it is in 15 meters of water. so they do not want it to sink in case there are any survivors still in those, those air pockets. there are divers going to the compartments of the four-story vessel. remember at 75 meters long. 13 meters wide. there are a lot of areas that they need to go through. and they need to keep that ship stable. as i say there are search crews going up and down the yangtze river. everything is being thrown at this operation. the premiere of china he has been there on the scene. he has left now, but certainly has said every effort has to be made to save lives. that is obviously growing extremely slim as the minutes go by, errol.

>> incredible to think that a 15th survivor was recently pulled out from the waters. but the likelihood that that will continue is slim. but we certainly hope for more survivors. ana coren live out of hong kong. thank you. >> we certainly do. we will take a very short break. still to come, a new law is reforming government surveillance in the united states. we will take a look at the usa freedom act. and with isis making gains in syria and in iraq, a call to the coalition for more military support. we will get you a live report on this after the break. financial noise financial noise financial noise

welcome back, everyone. police in boston have shot and killed a man who was under surveillance by a terrorism task force. they say the 26-year-old suspect lunged at them tuesday with a large knife. after they confronted him for allegedly making threats against police on social media. >> authorities believe the man was radicalized by isis. the shooting was caught on

surveillance video. and witnesses saw what happened. it all remains under investigation. >> well u.s. president barack obama has signed the usa freedom act into law. >> this new surveillance measure dramatically rolls back nsa access to millions of americans phone records. it replaces key parts of the patriot act which expired three days ago amid intense political wrangling. >> cnn's dana bash has more on political fight leading up to the new law. >> mitch mcconnell is rarely this animated. >> no content. no names. no listing the phone calls of law-abiding citizens. none of that is going on. >> reporter: the senate majority leader can't contain his exasperation which started when his junior colleague from kentucky, who mcconnell endorsed for president launched a filibuster that derailed his plans on the patriot act. >> just today a cnn poll exactly part of the right-wing

conspiracy. states that 61% of americans, 61% of americans think the expiring provisions of the patriot act including my colleagues, including data collection, should be renewed. so if there is widespread concern out across america about privacy we're not picking it up. >> reporter: the senate intelligence chairman warned about threats he says spy powers could stop. >> the terrorists aren't going away. america is still their target. no matter what we say on this floor. we're still in the cross hairs. >> reporter: and this member of the intelligence committee was so perplexed he was almost speaking in riddles. >> it is a devil's choice. is something better than nothing? or is something really nothing and you end up with nothing and nothing? >> as for rand paul, today he was silent. a no-show on the senate floor. after leading the charge against any surveillance programs even

those with reforms. he used it to energize his presidential campaign and democrats were quick to gloat about how much disarray it has caused the gop. >> we as senators are not here to serve as extras in a presidential campaign commercial. >> that was cnn's chief u.s. congressional correspondent dana bash reporting. well iraq's prime minister is calling for more support in the battle against isis. at a meeting in paris, al abadi told members of the international coalition fighting isis that the world has failed to stop the terror group's advance. ian lee is following developments and joins us live from cairo. ian, what has been the reaction to what prime minister haida al abadi had to say considering it was iraqi forces that fled in ramadi leaving an abundance of heavy weaponry for isis to use against them in the future?

>> that's right, rosemary. he did, prime minister had a lot of criticism for the international community. saying that they aren't doing enough to help defeat isis. and in this conference you did have everyone recommit that they are, that they will fight to defeat isis. but the way forward wasn't as united as i think the prime minister wanted. i don't think we are going to see a massive supply of weapons or personnel going to iraq any time soon. what the prime minister wanted was, first off more aerial surveillance to low kate where isis is moving -- locate where isis is moving. ramadi one of the places they control is in the middle of the desert. it would be easy to see them moving about even if they guise to find them and make it more difficult to move around. that is one thing he wanted. when you look at what the deputy

secretary of state, when he said that, the -- the path right now, militarily, and politically, is right it is winning. points to the fact that isis is in control of 25% less territory than they had when they first initially started. so -- there is a little bit of case agreement about really what direction this battle against isis is going. even though, all 24 members, 24 states, there at the conference say they're united against isis. >> a lot of people are calling for change in strategy. ian lee reporting there from cairo bringing us up to date on the situation there. >> well investigators have found a new clue in the brutal killings of a prominent washington family. police say traces of blood found on the suspect's shoe match one of the victims. cnn justice correspondent pamela brown says the new evidence is a big step toward building a case

against the suspect. >> forensic analysis discovered, uncovered traces of blood from one of the victims. sources would not say which of the victims of the four victims in the home. the savopolous family, couple, son phillip and, housekeeper which victim the blood belonged to. a big piece of evidence in this case. along with the fact that d.c. police said that darren wint's dna was found on a piece of pizza crust inside the home. >> three members of the family and their housekeeper were found dead last month in their home set ablaze. police have said they don't think wint acted alone. but so far no one else has been charged. >> caitlyn jenner, she is turning heads and possibly redefining, or at least making people reconsider the notion of gender identity. >> jenner says this is about reclaim herring lifing her life

living trapped in the body of a male olympian, previously known as bruce jenner. she stand to make a lot of money after the public transition from male to female. our correspondent has more. >> reporter: first there was diane sawyer's interview. the highest rated "20/20" episode in 15 years. giving abc a chance to break news and make money. then there was the cover. driving more than 6 million visitors to "vanity fair".com. where you have to pay $5 to read the full story. caitlyn jenner is really just beginning to tell her story. and there is another side to this public transformation. just how much money jenner will make from it. but jenner will profit from her new reality show on e! premiering july 26th. maybe the first of many lucrative business deals. >> she could write a book about the experiences, she could be a motivational speaker, really sought after, there could be a spin-off of the reality show

like there was "keeping up with the kardashians" all of this can create millions of dollars, for caitlyn jenner and the upcoming years. >> reporter: as for those who think this is all a publicity stunt. jenner hears the question and answers it this way. >> i'm not doing it for money. i'm doing it to help my soul and help other people. but she adds -- if i can make a dollar, i certainly am not stupid. i have house payments and all that kind of stuff. i will never make an excuse for something look that. yeah, this is a business. >> with the kardashians and jenners, everything is a business. e! pays the family tens of millions of dollars to keep the family rolling. the channel is not saying how much caitlyn will make for the new series, but ad rates of the show to be four times that of a typical primetime show on e! which could mean more cash in caitlyn jenner's purse. earlier, we spoke to a

transgender supermodel about the experience of making the transition from one sex to another as caitlyn jenner has done. >> it was really an insightful conversation. andrea pejic started her transition at 14 and considered by many as inspiration in the fashion industry and transgender community as well. during our interview, we asked andrea what advice she had for jenner. listen to this. >> i would isaiasay, just keep head grounded as much as possible. keep great people around you. and -- you know, try and stay sane. i think, she has already spreading her story and kind of trying to do good to, to bring about awareness of the issues. and so i think that's great. and that can be a very rewarding process. some times you just will encounter people that will just never understand certain things.

and that has to be okay too. >> that was a bit of a preview. next hour be sure to catch our full interview with pejic, hear more advice and how she navigated her experience into the transgender world. do stay tuned for that. >> for now we will take a very short break. russian president vladamir putin one of the biggest supporters of fifa's president. we'll get reaction from moscow to sepp blatter's resignation ahead. >> plus a closer look at how weather conditions are affecting rescue efforts after that shipwreck in china. stay with us.

welcome back to viewers here in the u.s. and around the world. i'm errol barnett. >> i'm rosemary church. time to update you on the main stories we are watching this hour. fifa president sepp blatter is stepping down. he made the announcement tuesday, just four days after being re-elected. world futbol's governing body has been rocked by a bribery and corruption scandal. fif@members are expected to vote for a new president between december and march. >> at least 400 people are still missing. more than 24 hours after a cruise ship capsized in china's yangtze river. authorities say there are 15 survivors and at least 18 dead. out of more than 450 people on board. more than 4,000 rescuers are working right now to find more survivors. >> u.s. president barack obama has signed into law the so-called usa freedom act. the law dramatically curtails the national security agency's access to millions of americans' fen records. that issue was the center of a

political fight which led to the expiration of parts of the patriot act sunday. >> let's talk more now about fifa president sepp blatter's surprise announcement he is stepping down. russia will hold the next world cup tournament in 2018. >> president vladamir putin has been a vocal supporter of blatter. cnn's matthew chance has reaction now from moscow. >> reporter: i think there must be a kind of stunned silence among russian officials. learning of this unexpected resignation of sepp blatter. of course, concern as well what it all means for russia's prospects of hosting the world cup in 201. the russian sports minister expressed his surprise. but just a few days ago, vladamir putin had sent a telegram to the newly re-elected fifa president congratulating him on his victory. a strong defender of sepp

blatter. criticizing the fifa investigations as politically motivated and an attempt to wrestle the 2018 tournament from russia, a swiss-led investigation is of course looking into money laundering surrounding the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 world cups to russia and qatar. there still is no indication that either of the host countries will have the tournaments taken away. in fact. fifa has said that they will not. but with the departure of sepp blatter, on top of these investigations, into corruption. the whole issue may have been blown open once again. matthew chance, cnn, moscow. >> for more on blatter's resignation let's bring in james piercy, deputy editor at sports 360 joins us via web cam from abu dhabi. james, thank you for joining us. this time last week when the u.s. federal hammer came down on blatter's inner circle. he decides to run for the

presidency and win. why then step down four days later? well i mean, the $64,000 question at this stage. you have to assume given his comments on sunday. it was going to come become to haunt him. he gave to swiss television on the days. five days later he has resigned. i think we have to assume in the last 4 hours, so8 hours, incred pressure has been placed on him. so there have been things taken away. i certainly don't think. >> but now we are in a strange sort of murky transition period,

right. he has been elected president. he says he is going to, you know, have another election in a couple months from now toward the end, end of this year, beginning of next year. what will all this mean for reform? because blatter was either incompetent or impliciten the corruption that was happening, alleged corruption at this point happening within fifa. either way shouldn't he be disconnected from fifa sooner so these investigations can take place unhampered? >> that may still happen. as the attorney general said this is only the beginning. the investigation. "the new york times." last night, saying, you know, the investigation. you are right. we will have him charged for the next, four, five months. don't know when the election will be.

what he will be doing. he will be ensuring that perhaps one of these, if you like, a strong candidate for the job. you have to remember. sepp blatter will be working to have continuity. whether or not he will do it. i don't know. >> all of this has been jaw dropping. still witnessing the shock waves from these investigations. what do you think this will mean? i mean for the 2018 world cup in russia. doesn't seem as if that is far enough to make any change. do you think this could have an impact on the 2022 world cup in qatar, in some way. there seems to be a groundswell opposition to the world cup. for obvious reasons. i think, you know, i was listening to these, earlier, he was basically implying, the

japanese are really pushing to try to find some sort of meat on the bones of what they are behind the qatar and russians. i think the contrepz that missed out. there is an opening. now momentum. qatar stuck to their guns. and by the books. have to go on what they say so far. however, it is investigations, it has been on going. illegal activities. yes, i think, in russia for example. a ton of european countries that could host the world cup at the drop of a hat. so i think the tournaments. certainly in a much weaker position today than yesterday. i still wouldn't perhaps, say definitely going to be taken away. but, yeah, things are going to get very interesting over the next six months. >> right. there could be well be, bombshells to come. deputy editor at sports 360, james piercy joining us from abu dhabi. past 10:30 in the morning there.

all right. we will move our focus back to eastern china now where hundreds of people are feared trapped inside a capsized cruise ship on the yangtze river. >> according to state media, rescuers are trying to cut open part of the ship's hull sticking out of the water there. they're also searching underwater and along the river. >> now the ship apparently went down during a tornado monday night. rescuers have been battling what you see here, heavy rains, strong winds, and, just very poor visibility. as they try to search for more survivors. our meteorologist joins us with more on the weather in the area.

which seems atrocious. ivan? >> during the event. the issue would not have been the rain. that's not a problem. the visibility shouldn't have been a problem. certainly ships do this all time along the yangtze here. what the issue was, have the satellite back to where we had it during the time of the event. was the wind out of the thunderstorm activity that was just blossoming right over where the ship was. here, a top-heavy boat. didn't take much. 80, 100 kilometer wind. and down it went. as we get you into the afternoon, we have this explosive thunderstorm complex here. you see kind of a teardrop-shape here, indicating, upper level wind that were involved. everything came together with a very hot, humid air mass, to produce nasty thunderstorm cells and that is what became certainly the event here for the ship as we head through the very late evening hours. and then we cleared things out. we have this frontal boundary that sets up this time of year.

it meanders to the north, south. this time around now it is pushing down to the south. as you can see, we are working with cloud here. a few showers. but the worst of the weather for the time being has shifted further to the south. we have another system that is going to clip in. move in. over the next 24, 4 hours. expect showers with that. and gusty wind. then you see again a clearing line back behind that as we head into the, the day on friday, and into the weekend, the boundary should stay to the south. that is where the activity is going to be as far as showers and thunderstorms. we are expecting wind gusts anywhere from 24-45 kilometers an hour as the next feature moves in. and will subside once again before the next system moves in. we are going to kind of go back and forth here. we are in a lull as far as the worst of the weather here for the search-and-recovery as the heaviest of the rain and the strongest of the wind have shifted now further to the south. keep you posted on that. but, we're very familiar with this weather pattern this time of year. the plum rains they call it here

across parts of china. >> all right, ivan. check in with you later. thank you very much. >> now we want to bring you all an incredible story of survival out of new york city. want to warn you the video you are about to see is difficult to watch. keep in mind the boy you are about to see, hilt by an out of control car is doing just fine. >> yeah, this was monday. when the driver of this car barreled onto the sidewalk. look at that. took done a tree and drove right over 3-year-old oscar chin. oscar apparently ended up right between the tires. and was barely hurt. just amazing. and less than 24 hours later, he was smiling for the cameras. his mother says oscar was hospitalized overnight. but he sustained only a few bruises. police say the driver won't face charges because that crash was an accident. unbelievable. >> it's difficult to watch. it looks as though the tree in some way may have protected him. they always say about children.

he is 3 years old. their body are able to absorb. >> being between the tires. makes a difference. unbelievable. >> another story we are tracking. new details on the american tourist who was killed in a lion attack while on safari in south africa. the victim has now been identified as 22-year-old katherine chapel. witnesses say she and a tour operator were driving with their windows down when the lion pounced. >> now the driver of the vehicle survived the attack and remains hospitalized. he denies that they were driving around the lion enclosure with open windows. safari visitors are warned to keep their windows up at all times. as gary tuchman reports, some tourists just don't follow the rules. >> reporter: a family visiting a safari park in south africa. >> okay, daddy. coming to the car. you are going to have to -- let's see. >> reporter: a family about to experience something absolutely stunning. >> yikes. >> yeah, it is not a very good one. >> reporter: something they

never expected. >> holy cow, cindy. >> oh, my gosh. >> it's okay. >> i know. >> ah. >> lock the door. >> my gosh, i didn't know they could do that. >> reporter: the lion opened the car door. a close call for the family who did indeed have the windows closed as signs mandate. many ignore the warnings. watch these children sticking their head out of the window at the krueger national park in south africa. and unnecessarily close call. in tanzania, tourists think they're in a safe place on top of the jeep. at least this time nothing happened to them. >> they're cuing him. isn't that wild? >> reporter: back in south africa, a car load of passengers had their windows closed that they did not prevent this frightening moment. >> this lion started attacking the spare tire.

and listen to the american tourists. >> now they got us. >> don't move. de don't move, eric. >> not sure whether to step on the gas or not move at all. they watch the lions head to other vehicles. >> are you guys seeing the lion chew on the license plate? are you seeing this? >> oh, my god. dude, the whole pack. >> why don't you drive forward? >> they pulled the hubcap off. >> uh-uh. >> they got the hubcap. >> reporter: seeing lions in their habitat is a bucket list ambition for many tourists. but without the proper precautions, that dream could quickly become a nightmare. >> what? >> yes. >> are you sure? >> i hope so. >> gary tuchman, cnn, atlanta. >> that is so frightening. i have driven through the lion parks that you have in south africa, friend, relatives, visiting. you want to take them. you have to balance your

fascination with animals with the reality that they are dangerous and wild. they're not cute pets. >> there are messages all over those parks. keep your windows up. apparently in that instance with that very sad instance with the american girl. she wound the window down to take a photo. >> we have seen many people have done. >> hesitate. >> didn't do it. >> the urge to do that. >> just ahead, the unexpected aftermath of a deadly conflict. see how the war ruins have become a playground for young men. leave early go roam sleep in sleep out star gaze dream big wander more care less beat sunrise chase sunset do it all. on us. get your first month's payment plus five years wear and tear coverage. make the most of summer... with volvo.
