a holy state calls for reconciliation in bosnia. and why some say hackers are building a database of american citizens after a major security breach compromised the personal information of millions. plus how the use of social media by the terror group isis dramatically backfired. hello and welcome to the vurers around the united states and around the world, i'm lynda kinkade and this is "cnn newsroom."
1:01 am
we begin in china where authorities have finally managed to lift the stricken cruise ship from the river. the death toll has now reached 396. 46 people are still unacted for. hazmat crews are working to recover items from the ship. it sank six days ago during a freak tornado. crews were able to get the ship upright on friday. the government has promised a full investigation, but some family members insist this was human failure, not mother nature. intelligence officials tell cnn they fear the chinese military is compiling a huge database of personal information on americans to prepare for future cyber attacks that allow them to impersonate government workers. the susquehanna accusing china of carrying out one of the largest data breaches in history. cyber security experts say these same chinese hackers recently attacked an american health insurance company. jim sciutto has the latest on
1:02 am
how the hackers got in. >> reporter: an unprecedented and alarming cyber attack by china. the attackers may now be able to identify, expose and even blackmail u.s. government officials around the world. all it took, one government agency that had not taken the simple step of updating their server software. the white house is not publicly naming the culprit, it is acknowledging the growing threat. >> we have seen adversaries use techniques and learn from previous efforts to try to find vulnerabilities in our system. >> reporter: the attack a appeared to lay the groundwork for future attacks using the information to fool government employees in so-called spear fishing attacks. targeting the personal information of federal employees is new. chinese hackers had previously focused on stealing military and
1:03 am
government secrets to enhance national security. and corporate data for financial gain. >> i don't think that stopped, but this is just a new attack, which is typically been used by organized crime for monetizing that data. and now nation states are clearly seeing it has some use for them as well. >> reporter: some federal agencies are not following the government's own guidelines to update operating systems with the latest protections. the office of personnel management discovered the breach by using new software, but the detection came after the system had already been compromised. after years of alleged sign r attacks by china, the obama administration has tried raise ing the issue president to president. even issuing criminal charges against an elite group of chinese hackers believed housed at this shanghai building. but china's attacks have only
1:04 am
continued and grown. >> let's face it, cyber as we're all waking up to again this morning, is the newest domain of warfare. >> there's a a debate about retaliating for cyber attacks for this one. private companies barge from doing so by law, but the government is concerned that could spark an escalating retaliation over time and that's something the government wants to avoid. jim sciutto, cnn, washington. >> for more insight on this attack and the implications, i want to bring in the chief technology office at fire eye. he joins me from singapore on skype. >> thank you for having me. >> a few analysts say it's for two reasons. the first to work out who the targets are for further attacks and the second to work out who might be a good target for human recruitment for spies. what's your take on that?
1:05 am
>> well, it's too early to tell if this was definitely china behind the attacks. at fire eye we take great caution to make sure we have the evidence at hand. but it wouldn't be beyond their realms of possibility that china or another nation state would be collecting this kind of intelligence for specifically the purposes you outlined for potentially human recruitment or to targeted spear-fishing e-mails to impersonate security cleared government personnel in their operations. >> now we understand that the u.s. national security agency has expanded its spying ca capability when it comes to assessing foreign hackers. is it likely we'll see retaliation? will it spark a cyber escalation? >> i certainly hope not. in fact, when i look at the prospects of doing cyber retaliation from the united states' perspective, the united states has more at risk in terms
1:06 am
of its dependence on modern technology for its economy. that said, i think this is the domain of the governments to have discussions and agree on what is appropriate response when these types of actions take place and i would certainly hate to see a broad scale cyber attack breaking out in cyber space. one thing to consider, though, it's quite reasonable to assume that nation states have the ability to conduct operations. two weerz ago we thought it was today we think that's closer to 50 and really there are no clear rules of engagement for those operations. >> and so what can be done to prevent these sort of attacks to protect the private personal information of government workers. is it just a matter of staying ahead of the rivals? >> well, there's quite a lot
1:07 am
that can be done, but the problem is a complex one to resolve. that depends on technology is very significant and extremely complicated to address all possible security threats. that said, there are many organizations that collect a lot of intelligence that it would be relevant to nation states. we see this problem globally not just in the united states. there's a few things that organizations can do. first of all, if they do not have the ability to detect previously unseen attacks that have been used to target that organization, then it's reasonable to assume that they have already been breached. and with that in mind, it's quite reasonable to assume that we're going to see this particular event is just the tip of the iceberg in the amount of intelligence gathering. >> let's hope it's not that. we appreciate your time, thank you for joining us. >> thank you very much. the use of social media by the terror group isis to recruit more fighters has started to backfire on them. the u.s. general says his team
1:08 am
scours the web and finds what he calls fighters who use traceable locations. the military then takes action. barbara star has more. >> they are the soldiers. their honor is in jihad. >> reporter: fluent english on a new video released by isis's media machine. >> swept by the coming winds of jihad. >> reporter: why an english-speaking voice? >> this is a great example of how they hone in on a specific audience and sort of push their message to a specific group of people. >> reporter: in this case, a coveted north american audience. but isis's social media savvy can sometimes backfire. a general told reporters his team of analysts combing through isis's social media posts were able to identify the location of
1:09 am
a command and control center within 22 hours they were able to take the building out. u.s. intelligence teams working in florida have been continually scouring social media hoping to find in the general's word a moron who gives up their location making them a target. the head of the air force says it's what they do. >> we're using everything we can to find potential targets. >> reporter: but the general would not address the pentagon testament that up to 13,000 isis fighters have been killed in coalition airstrikes. >> i don't know where the number of 10,000 came from. >> reporter: but he said. officials say it comes from air force and navy pilots themselves who estimate the dead after each air strike. but even with the air campaign, isis still showing muscle.
1:10 am
>> they are still influencing things on the ground. they were still able to move into ramadi. so until we can stop all that activity, this will not be successful. >> reporter: but the body count issue doesn't seem to go away. another u.s. general says the coalition airstrikes are take ing out 1,000 isis fighters every month. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. in malaysia, 8 people have died and 11 remain missing in an earthqua earthquake. they were able to rescue 167 climbers after the quake left them stranded on one of the tallest peaks. these photos show some of the climbers as they waited for help. pope francis is preparing for mass right now where he will address more than 60,000 people. it's the first time a pope visited the bosniaen capital in 18 years. the country remains divided 20 years after the end of a civil
1:11 am
war. cnn's nick robertson joins us from there. the pope touched down a short time ago. he has a big day ahead. >> reporter: he really does. less than an hour, he will be here at the stadium where 65,000 people gathered here. he will be here for two hours giving a service. we will expect the pope mobile to do a lap around the track. but he arrives perhaps in his most important meetings are the ones where he potentially can have the most influence meeting with the country's political leaders. in this country there is a president for the muslims, one for the croatians, catholics. they share that presidency and right now that's who the pope is meeting with.
1:12 am
he's been with them for a number of minutes. when he comes out of that meeting of the presidency, there will be a release of three white doves as a symbolic gesture. so many feel the country is not moving forward. his message for them will be reconciliation, that there needs to be a change in the way they deal with the past and move forward and bring the country with them. people here talk about a level of corruption. the political parties that are in power today, 40% of the population by some estimates even in the capital here are unemployed, and this is really one of the fundamental reasons why so many people here hope the pope can make a difference with these politicians. the people gathered here from all across bosnia.
1:13 am
there have been people from all over the area. so all over the country. people from all around europe as well are here today. the message they want to hear here is very much the same message the pope wants to get to politicians. there needs to be a change and that's what they want to hear and they hope he can deliver that as well. >> and nick, the pope's mass is expected to draw tens of thousands of people. do you think in a country which has become a fertile ground for isis there are huge security concerns. how are authorities coping with that? >> reporter: very tight security. what they did was close the roads, remove cars from the roads. there have been police out on the streets here in numbers for the last couple of days. everywhere you go you see a policeman watching, looking,
1:14 am
checking, a lot of security to enter the stadium. people having their bags checked, medical screening systems set up checking people coming in here. it's a very relaxed atmosphere this morning. we were watching hundreds of people walking towards the stadium. very tight security. >> it remains relaxed and hopefully the pope's message of peace amongst the various religions is heard. nick robertson, we appreciate your time, thank you very much. still to come, protests are intensifying in germany. >> why do you guys take pictures of people? >> g7 leaders coming to town in and demonstrators have a lot to say. plus south korean officials send an alert to the public as the number of mers cases rises to 50.
1:19 am
a dozen scuffled with police on friday. world leaders including the german chancellor, president obama will begin their work on sunday. much larger protests are expected throughout the weekend. we have a look at what the demonstrators want. >> reporter: protesters are turning up the heat. this is one of those demonstrations that needs no explanation. it's against military spending against the military build up of nato. as you can imagine, it's hot now. on this it day the gates of this u.s.-funded institute in germany are far from where leaders will be gathering. they are keeping a tight reign on them. they are escorting them so things don't get out of order.
1:20 am
demonstrators have a litany of demands, but for now the main aim is to shut down the g7 summit. 17,000 police have been drafted in for crowd control. >> why do you take pictures of people? >> i don't take pictures. >> why will you take pictures? do they not have a democratic right to march? >> reporter: it's hot out, tempers are fraying. ahead more scuffles, hard to tell who started it. little love lost on either side. protests appear to be drawing
1:21 am
thousands, ranging from environmentalists to globalization groups. this student has come from england. >> i think by them having so many police presence, it's provoking. >> reporter: police check new arrivals, anti-g7 clowns pop out to lighten the mood. thinker mission, they say, to measure the policeman's smiles. the demo wraps up, but judging by the day's events police and protesters know trouble may be brewing. cnn, germany. >> another group of protesters is calling for less hot air from the g7. the organization displayed seven hot air balloons to the faces of g7 leaders in munich on friday. they include the french
1:22 am
president and british prime minister david cameron. a spokesman for one outlined his group's demands. >> translator: we demand more than hot air from the g7. this means firstly, compliance with existing development promises. we need more money, as promised, for development aid. secondly, a qualitytive change is also needed of existing aid. much more needs to go to the poorest countries to support them. and thirdly, we're not allowed to forget the girls and women who suffer from discrimination. as the host and only woman in the g7, germ man chancellor angela merkel has a big role to play. >> translator: there were initiatives made and concrete progress was seen, but it's not enough by far. 6 million children under the age of 5 are dying every year from
1:23 am
diarrh diarrhea, malaria, pneumonia and we are demanding concrete decisions from the g7 that this number should be brought down. >> among the issues on the agenda, the fighting in ukraine, sanctions against russia, international trade and climate change. the american red cross is rejecting accusations that it squandered donations after the 2010 earthquake in haiti. the republican news organization and national public radio reported the charity raised half a billion dollars for haiti but built only six permanent home there is. the red cross issued a statement rejecting the allegations saying the report likes balanced context and accuracy and misrepresents the facts. it also offered a breakdown of the funds spent in haiti. the prolgts including building hospitals and clinics, providing clean water and sanitation and helping more than 130,000 people find improved housing. at least two people are dead
1:24 am
and more than 100 others hurt after two explosions at an election rally in turkey. kurdish leaders blame the president's ruling party. voters go to the polls on sunday to elect a new parliament. arwaday man has more. >> reporter: it's become cliche to call an election in turkey critical. it's that time again and the outcome of the vote is the defining moment for this country's future. >> this is the parliament that's going to decide or shape the next constitution. and that a lot depends on the composition of o the parliament in that sense. >> reporter: those who oppose the president shutter at the thought his party could get enough seats and overhaul the constitution to potentially allow him to stay in power
1:25 am
indefinitely. this is not a political rally. it's the opening of a local municipal building, but the president is making an appearance. his justice and development party will do well in the parliamentary elections, but how much power he has will be determined by the success or failure of the kurdish party. for the first time, the people's democrat you can party is not running individual candidates but as a party. that means they must cross a 10% national threshold for their seats to count. if they fail to cross that threshold, then they get nothing and the seats are divvied up among the parties that do. already the akp is looking at get i getting around 330 seats. this means they can unilaterally take any constitutional changes to a referendum. but if the kurds fail to cross that 10% and are out of parliament, that means that the akp gets more seats, more power.
1:26 am
and for some, that is terrifying. >> people who have never voted for a kurdish party in the past are not considering they are actually telling to their friends and neighbors that they will vote for the kurdish party because they are opposed to the current akp government. >> reporter: also at stake is the future of negotiations on the kurdish issue. closer than ever before to resolution if the kurdish party is out of government, that process could falter. but they are confident. >> the only thing that our party is doing is that we are stripping of its hoping and dreams of becoming in the middle. what we don't need, we need a broader democracy. >> reporter: it's going to be a

tight race for the hdp to reach that 10% threshold and there are valid concerns about election violence. the headquarters of the hdp were attacked in may. there is so much at stake, not just potential fears for turkey's stability but for some it's democratic identity. arwa damon,i isis isis isisist . coming up, we're live in seoul where fears is taking hold amid-the mers outbreak. wish your skin could bounce back as quickly as it used to? introducing neutrogena hydro boost water gel. instantly quenches skin to keep it supple and hydrated day after day. formulated with hydrating hyaluronic acid which retains up to 1000 times its weight in water. this refreshing water gel plumps skin cells with intense hydration and locks it in.

health facilities before it was confirmed he had merz. by then he had infected a number of people and 3 of the 4 were infected in the same hospital where he was staying. now the authorities are in overdrive trying to lock down anyone who may have been exposed to the virus. but the concern is that at least one person who has since been confirmed to have mers actually went to a public event with more than 1500 people and now the challenge is to try to find all of them and there have been insufficiencies in the way the government is dealing with things still and the central authority is not being transparent enough in naming the hospitals that have been involved and confirming cases quickly enough so he's calling on them to have more information. >> authorities have identified one hospital where most have been infected and they are trying to track down people who
1:34 am
were at that hospital in may. that's a huge task. how are they handling that? >> it is a huge task, and there are more than that one hospital that has been involved. that's precisely what has seoul city mayor and public concerned. they are saying not enough information is getting out there and the public are not armed with the information they need to protect themselves. and self-quarantine if they did visit. as we know in korea, people tend to stay over in hospitals if they have a loved one there. they might spend the night. so there's a lot of opportunity if mers is being spread for more people to catch it. that is part of the big concern here. >> huge concern, kathy novak in south korea, thank you for that update. it has been an emotional farewell to joe biden's son. beau biden died last saturday after a battle with brain cancer. he was 46 years old.
