>> these are all difficult challenges. but part what was gives me hope is the example of germany. this year marks 70 years since the end of world war ii. and decades of a great nato alliance. it marks 25 years since the unification of germany that inspired the world. the fact that all of us are here together today is proof that conflicts can end and great progress is possible.
2:01 am
[ german translation ] >> so this morning as we celebrate one of the strongest alliances the world has ever known, my message to the german people is simple. we are grateful for your friendship, for your leadership. we stand together as inseparable allies in europe and around the world. [ german translation ]
2:02 am
2:03 am
thank you very much. >> u.s. president barack obama there addressing people in the bavarian town of kruen in germany. it's his fourth time to germany as president of the united states and emphasized the friendship between the two countries. he also joked about forgetting his lederhosen and said he's looking forward to a few german beers. let's go live now to austria for more on this. he said they're going to talk about quite a few things, the economy, jobs, of course the crisis in eastern ukraine. what stood out to me was he continued to emphasize this friendship between the two countries. and this of course comes in the wake of the allegations of the
2:04 am
u.s. spying on germany. what do you make of his comments? >> well, exactly. reinforcing and emphasizing, as he put it, the allies, indispensable allies that germany and the u.s. are. it really is a very close relationship. and chance lar angela merkel emphasizing that the familiarity with him really as a friend, calling him by his first name, for example, when she was introducing him to the very appreciative crowd there. i think it goes to show despite the strained relations after the fallout from the nsa leaks, for example, that germany and the u.s. continue to have a very strong relationship. in particular because of germany's key role on a number of issues, particularly the crisis in ukraine. of course, germany is the key negotiator with russia on the issue. and one of the topics foremost on the agenda will be whether or not to put more sanctions on
2:05 am
russia, which has a tremendous impact on germany, on many countries here in europe. and it really is key that germany backs this in order for the u.s. to take more aggressive action to try and keep russia in check. >> and the u.s. president did say that germany gives him hope, because obviously since it's 70 years since the end of world war ii and germany proves that conflicts can end and countries can prosper. so obviously eastern ukraine is one of the main topics but he also said they will look at the global economy and the strengthening of the eu. >> that's right. and one of the main topics for many here in europe will be the possibility, for example, of greece exiting from the european union. this may seem very far for some american viewers but in europe that is a real and scary possibility and many people asking, what happens to the euro, to the european union in that case? it is a topic of discussion.
2:06 am
the financial situation with greece, the overall stability of the eu. and of course that looming crisis on the edge of the eu in ukraine. so these are all issues that are likely to be discussed between the two leaders today. and you know, it started off on a very lighthearted note. with president obama's jokes about having all the summit meetings outside in the sunshine and drinking lots of beer. but there is a very serious undercurrent there. they will take a quick stroll through that village and see some of the tradition alba vavian sites there, then they'll get down to business. there will be a one-on-one meeting with chancellor merkel where these issues will be discussed. there are serious discussions that will be happening today. >> they certainly have a lot to get through. and the failings of the world health organization or the criticism, rather, of the world health organization over its handling of ebola is also on the agenda. >> it is on the agenda. and it is a very important topic to tackle.
2:07 am
because it's sort of a look back, a debrief really on what went wrong, what went right on the ebola crisis. should the w.h.o. have acted much faster, for example? they've actually invited a number of african leaders to come to the summit tomorrow to assess what happened and what can be done better in the event of a future outbreak. so there are a whole health of issues being discussed here, from climate change to ebola to these political and financial crises happening around the globe. so there's a lot to get through. but it begins with chancellor merkel and president obama today in the village of kreun. >> it sounds like they're off to a big start. no doubt there will be some beer drunk today. thank you very much for your time today, we'll talk to you soon. the greek prime minister will hold talks with chancellor merkel on the sidelines of the g7 summit later this week. the two leaders had a teleconference with french president francois hollande on saturday to discuss the greek
2:08 am
debt crisis. specifics not given but an official says it was a good climate. they are trying to move forward with negotiations between greece and its creditors who are locked in a standoff over an aid package for the country. italy now says nearly 3,500 migrants have been rescued in the mediterranean near the libyan coast. italy, uk, germany and irmd are all involved in a large ongoing operation to save the remaining migrants at sigh. europe has been struggling this year with a skyrocketing number of people making the dangerous journey across the mediterranean to flee war and poverty. now live from the greek island of kozen, a lot of migrants have made their way to that island, what condition were they in when they arrived there? >> well, many seem to be arriving and seems a lot of pregnant women, a lot of children. i can tell you cnn saw with our very eyes this morning, early
2:09 am
hours of the morning, around 5:00 to 6:00, in a period of three hours by saw some four boats or so, three and four boats, some bigger than others. the big ones had roughly 30 people on board. lots of children, lots of large families. some pregnant. one pregnant lady. and this seems to be a pattern we're seeing from people who are already staying. to give you a sense what was people here are feeling, this is a small island, 30,000 inhabitants. and they do feel sorry, there is sympathy, but they want help. because as you just quite rightly pointed out, greece is facing a financial crisis. and this island lives off tourism. this is their bread and butter. so people have been speaking to hoteliers, saying they're worried this will drive tourists away, seeing the footage they're seeing of migrants arriving at their doorstep. they're worried the tourists
2:10 am
will fear for their children's safety and many are canceling last minute. the migrants we have seen here, the majority, large majority of them, coming from syria. we've been told roughly 70%. and just to put it in perspective in terms of numbers, i was talking to an hcr representative a couple of days ago and she said since the beginning of the year more than 8,268 arrived. comparing that to the same period last year, 33 had arrived. out of the 8,000 number, 3,769 arrived in may. so that gives you some sort of context. many telling me this is just the tip of the iceberg. >> that's right. we understand that tens of thousands are still in libya hoping to make the journey across the mediterranean sea. there's a huge operation under way. and it continues right now as we speak to rescue people trapped on boats. just to give some perspective of the crisis under way in the sea.
2:11 am
>> well, you know, we've got -- uncr is basically saying operations are under way at the moment. several navy vessels going out there. we've seen the numbers in the last 48 hours in their thousands. mostly these are italian ships as you mentioned. also moas, a private ship. you've also got the british, german, as well as eye a require. but what we are hearin from the uncr who keels with@geeian islands they're stepping up their efforts. it seems the migrants are changing their routes. it's not so much the migrants, let me clarify, the smugglers are savvy, very savvy, they're changing their route. why are they changing it? over my left shoulder, as you can see, that piece of land, that is turkey. we have heard from many refugees, migrants we've been speaking to in the last week, i've asked, how long is it taking you to get here? some saying 45 minutes, some
2:12 am
saying 35 minutes. it depends on type of boat. but it's very fast. what we're seeing now, actually, is that they're going, a lot of them coming from afghanistan, iraq, and also from syria, they're taking this route. the aegean route. rather than taking the route that we're seeing from libya. much more dangerous, of course, given what's happened in the country. we're also hearing, interestingly enough, is that there's no way of knowing if people from isis are coming here. i saw a whole bunch of people in a house and i asked, how do we know which one is the smuggler, which is the refugee? unhr said to me, we just don't know. >> very good point. very good questions. there's a huge crisis to deal with there. we really appreciate your update on this, we'll talk to you soon, thank you. earlier i spoke with fredericka about this tries sister. he works for the international
2:13 am
organization of migration, director for the office in the mediterranean. he explained why the situation is getting worse. >> better weather, calm seas result always in more boats departing as smugglers organize more boats. so that's definitely a big part of it. the numbers are significantly higher. theorizing. yesterday we had about 3,500 rescues. we are -- right now there are ten rescue operations under way. and we already have reports of some 1,400 that will arrive. so today's number will increase further beyond that. probably perhaps in the 2,000 range if not higher. >> the u.n. reports roughly 90,000 migrants have entered europe since the start of 2015. voters in turkey are heading to the polls to elect a new parliament.
2:14 am
opponents of president urdewan said his party could get enough seats to attempt an overhaul of the constitution, possibly putting him into power indefinitely. we'll have a live report from istanbul later this hour. to do china, 431 bodies have been recovered from a cruise ship that capsized. the disaster memorial services were held as part of a day of mourning. rescuers continue to search the eastern star for 11 people still missing. an attorney for the ship's operator has apologized to victims and their lofrd ones. calling last monday's incident a complete disaster for the corporation. the ship overturned during a storm. some say it was hit by a tornado. only 14 people survived. south korea is scrambling to contain an outbreak of middle east respiratory syndrome. the disease has claimed its fifth victim. as of sunday the number of koreans infected with mears
2:15 am
stands at 54. we've spoken about how this was handled at first when it first broke out. poorly, by all accounts. and people, authorities have apologized. how are they handling the crisis now? >> well, linda, reports are saying they're going to monitor people using the gps on their mobile phones to make sure they are obeying quarantine orders. that follows this criticism that you are referring to about the government's handling of the outbreak. the mers virus in south korea. the biggest outreaction break outside of the middle east. the death toll on the rise. new cases confirmed every day. the message to the public, take precautions. but many were asking, how can we protect ourselves when we aren't being given all the information? >> it's spreading too fast.
2:16 am
and also the government is not really caring about our country, i think. >> reporter: citizens particularly frustrated that the government refused to name the hospitals affected. >> they are in pain because government did not publish correct information and hide most everything about the names of hospitals. >> reporter: investigative journalist kim yung gim's website published a map. it got 6,000 page views in two days, ten times the normal traffic. now almost three weeks after the first case of middle east respiratory syndrome was confirmed the government has finally bowed to the pressure and revealed the names of 24 facilities that were or may have been exposed to the virus. a bow too to the head of one of the hospitals, apologizing to the people infected under his
2:17 am
watch. visiting one of the quarantine centers, president park geun-hye said people should trust the government is trying its best to prevent the spread of disease and the government repeatedly promised transparency. >> transparency. you know, there is no transparency. >> reporter: kim says last year's "sewol" ferry disaster led to a fundamental lack of trust in the government's ability to handle a crisis. according to a gallup korea poll the president's approval rating dipped 6 percentage points last week. and among the reasons that the government gave for not naming those hospitals earlier are that it didn't want to create panic and it didn't want to have a negative impact on the economy. >> interesting. thank you very much. to america now, many experts have lamented that the modern-day race horse is bred for speed, not stamina, and as a
2:18 am
result the world will never see another triple crown winner. but american pharoah blew that notion away with a win in the belmont stakes. cnn's andy schuls has the highlights. >> reporter: when people talk about the greatest horses of all-time you hear of secretariat in '73, affirmed in '78, now after an epic win in the belmont stakes, american pharoah will forever be on that historic list. >> he is one-in-a-lifetime horse. >> reporter: 13 horses won the first two legs of the triple crown since 1978. they all failed to complete the five-week journey at the belmont. but not american pharoah. >> i just think that this horse is different. >> reporter: some said there would never be another triple crown winner because of the way horses skip races to rest for belmont. american pharoah proved the doubters run despite being the only horse to run in all three of the big races. >> he's a beautiful mover. >> he looks like a ferrari going around. he does it effortlessly.
2:19 am
>> reporter: for trainer bob baffert, fourth time the particularly. he was in position on three previous occasions to win the triple crown but came up short each time. baffert said american pharoah was the best hand he'd ever been dealt. in the end the 3-year-old colt turned out to be a royal flush. for owner ahmed saed, american pharoah's win is a dream come true. he got into horse racing in 2006 and spent millions going for the triple crown. >> the last five weeks have been surreal. >> american pharoah's owners spoke to cnn after his horse's win. have a listen. >> i'm extremely elated. i'm so happy for the sport. i am happy too about american pharoah. i know he was a very good horse. he's a special horse. now he's a legend. he's only the 12th in the history of the game that he does it. and i couldn't be any prouder for the horse and for the fans. we all needed to have a star and

welcome back. in the u.s., a manhunt is under way for two convicted murderers. the two men broke out of a maximum security prison in upstate new york on saturday. more than 200 officers are now looking for the convicts. new york's governor got a firsthand look at the escape route. the pair apparently used power tools to cut through the walls of their cells, following pipes and tunnels to escape through a manhole cover outside the prison. they made bedding look like they were sleeping. >> they weren't actual dummies but they were -- they had clothing on and it looked like people sleeping in the bunks with a sweatshirt hoodie on, which is quite usual. >> we don't yet know how they
2:24 am
acquired the tools. we've done our internal inventory and we've accounted for all of our tools. but we're only at the preliminary stage. we have a lot of outside contractors that come into the various repair jobs. we're following those leads. at this time, we don't know where the tools are. >> quite incredible. clinton correctional facility is new york's largest prison housing almost 2,700 inmates. the saying goes, lightning doesn't strike twice. this wasn't the case at one of germany's biggest music events. 30 were injured when two bolts struck at the music festival. how unusual is this? >> it really is and terrifying as well. because not only did we get one strike at this outdoor music festival but two strikes in a matter of three hours. and it's all thanks to a cold front that swept eastward across the country of germany. we talked about it this time yesterday. and it pushed through early saturday morning. and it produced this.
2:25 am
take a look at the visual footage coming out of this region. you'll see this is the lightning bolt. you can hear the thunder as well. that is what unfortunately hit the backstage area of this 90,000 concertgoer festival, outdoor festival, the largest in germany. there was also strong winds with this system as well. unfortunately, the second lightning strike was in an open campground field and that injured an additional 25 people. so in total we had 33 injuries. none of them life-threatening. most of them were transported to a local hospital. and were released with no major injuries. but we are very thankful for that. look at this radar loop at the moment of the first lightning strike. this is the area where the largest german outdoor festival is located. and then once that original line of thunderstorms pressed through, a secondary line of
2:26 am
thunderstorms moved. and when you're out in an open field like this you are really susceptible to mother nature. there is nowhere to hide. if you look at statistics i've got here, you can see that most lightning strike victims happen in open areas. especially when they try to take cover under trees, which of course is going to attract lightning. some interesting facts here as well. lightning strikes the earth on average about 100 times per second. five times hotter than the sun's surface. and lightning strikes even though you think a thunderstorm has passed, it can still strike 15 kilometers away from the center of the storm. so it just gives you an idea how far-reaching those thunderstorms actually are, and how dangerous as well. >> quite incredible, what damage they can do. we appreciate that update, thanks very much. still to come, a parliamentary election in turkey has the potential to change their constitution and leadership permanently.
2:27 am
2:30 am
here's an update on the top stories we're following this hour. u.s. president barack obama and german chancellor angela merkel spoke a short time ago ahead of the g7 summit in the bavarian alps. mr. obama told people gathered that the u.s. and germany are strong allies. he also said the group of 7 will discuss getting tough over
2:31 am
russia over the crisis in ear ukraine. the death toll from last week's cruise ship disaster in china is now at 431. rescuers continue to search for 11 people still missing. memorial services were held earlier near the disaster site as part of a day of mourning. >> >> over 3,400 migrants had to be rescued on the mediterranean saturday. their boats began to sink 70 kilometers off the coast of libya. ships from four countries are trying to rescue the thousands of people still in danger of sinking in those boats. american pharoah has claimed the first triple crown since 1978 with a win at the belmont racetrack. the 3-year-old thoroughbred is expected to retire from racing and make millions of dollars in stud fees every year. polls are opening, turkey's voters choose a new parliament which could lead to big changes in the country's political system. opponents of president urdewan warned his party if they get enough seats could attempt an
2:32 am
overhaul of the constitution. possibly putting an end to p-- putting him into power indefinitely. it would secure his ability to make constitutional changes without needing votes outside his party. arwa damon is live in istanbul. this is a crucial election, the president hoping to secure a big enough majority to turn the country into a presidential republic. what are his chances at achieving that and what could it mean for the country? >> well, that is why today is so critical. because that is going to determine exactly how much power the akp, the justice and ruling party, does end up having. you mentioned 330 seats. if they are able to achieve that number, this would mean that they can make constitutional changes, rather, they can put constitutional changes to a referendum without needing support from other parties.
2:33 am
now, interestingly, voter turnout in turkey is pretty high, at around an average of 82%. we've been seeing a regular flow of people coming through. one of the things that analysts are saying is that some people might choose to vote for the kurdish party, the hdp. not necessarily because they subscribe to the hdp's ideology or their long-term overarching aims and goals, but because they are that concerned about akp getting those seats that they would need to be able to make those potential constitutional changes. the hdp, the kurdish party, is running for the first time as a party. and critical in all of this for them is whether or not they can secure the 10% national threshold. if they are unable to secure that, this means they will not be represented? parliament and de facto seats that would have gone to them will be split amongst the other parties and this will give the
2:34 am
akp even more power. so a lot of people are watching this very, very closely at this stage. because this parliament that is elect elected will be writing the country's constitution and defining its future. >> incredible that voter turnout is so high given the political atmosphere. we've already seen explosions at one rally. can you tell us what happened there? >> yeah, that was a rally that took place in the southern part of the country, a rally for the hdp, the kurdish party. the explosion being described as an attack, a bomb that was pack the with ball bearings and detonated using a cell phone rigged to a cell phone. according to the prime minister, one suspect now in custody. at least two people were killed. another 100 wounded. this is not the first time although it is perhaps the most significant attack that has taken place against the kurdish
2:35 am
party in this entire campaign period. we haven't seen a series of attacks against themmi. back in may for example bombs were placed at two of their headquarters, various small-scale attacks. all of this has led to a fairly relatively, speaking for turkey, tense atmosphere. people also concerned. >> this post-election period. depending on which way the votes go, how the reaction is going to be and how that is potentially going to impact the long-term stability of this nation. >> let's hope the rest of the election period is peaceful, thank you. houthi rebels and saudi forces exchanged fire on sunday. intercept scud missiles were fired from northern yemen. saudi arabia began air strikes against houthi militia in late
2:36 am
march. we want to go back to our top story, the g7 summit in germany. protesters have been demonstrating near the site for days. they're upset over the many policies as well as the cost of hosting this meeting. i want to bring in karl penhaul who joins us from germany south of munich. even before the leaders arrived, there were large protests. you were in the midst of it. and they now want to shut down the meeting when it gets under way in a few hours from now. what are their main issues? >> well, certainly the aim of the protesters is to shut down that meeting which is now taking place at a castle about 15 kilometers from where we are now. but so far, protesters have not had much luck this morning. throughout the entire morning with their actions, with their marchers, they have been playing a game of cat and mouse with the police forces. at one point we saw a group of
2:37 am
black-clad protesters trying to blockade a major highway to stop supplies going up to the castle where the g7 leaders are meeting. but that failed. the police drove them back. it was a peaceful demonstration but the police simply encircled the demonstrators. here on this highway as well, another attempt by a small group of protesters to blockade the highway there. they succeed the in doing that for a short period of time before again scores of riot police dragged them off the street and put them in police vans. there are about 7,000 protesters around here in the region today organizers say. but there are many, many times more riot police than protesters and that is why, as soon as the protesters pop up here, they're being shut down by the riot police. and that really adds up to the overall cost of putting on this summit because there are 17,000 police on duty. we hear helicopters swirling overhead for security all the time. and the overall budget for
2:38 am
putting on this 48-hour meeting for the g7 leaders is put at $150 million. and that is one of the beefs of the protesters, they say that kind of expenditure is obscene, that that money should be dedicated to core global issues like fighting poverty, the division between rich and poor, fighting climate change, helping the world refugee crisis, cutting military spending. there's a myriad of opinions and myriad of demands by the protesters. but they've all come together under a general umbrella. and that is, let's get together with alternative ideas to make this world a better place. and what they're saying is they believe that the g7 is a club of elite fat cats now trying to divide politics and world economics up for their own benefits and not for the benefit of global citizens. >> karl penhaul, we'll have to leave it there. we'll talk to you soon as that g7 summit gets under way. thank you very much. an emotional ceremony in the u.s. city of wilmington, delaware, as beau biden, son of
2:39 am
u.s. vice president joe biden, was laid to rest on saturday. more on beau's legacy and how he'll be remembered. >> an incredibly emotional funeral today. thousands of people inside packed the gills, outside hundreds of people lined the streets in wilmington, delaware, hoping to catch a glimpse of the first family and vice president biden's mourning family. one woman watched with tears running down her cheeks. she said she just had to be here, even though she couldn't hear a word of the funeral, to support the biden family. president obama emotional at times as he delivered his eulogy, speaking to the man that beau biden was, someone who he has forged a close personal friendship with over the years. and really giving credit to jill biden and joe biden he said for raising such a good man. he said basically, the world has watched, in essence job well done to both those parents. talking about how beau was never
2:40 am
someone to lean on his family's last name, he always earned his success, saying it's this model that people can learn from. >> you know, anyone can make a name for themselves in this reality tv age. especially in today's politics. if you're loud enough or controversial enough, you can get some attention. put to make that name mean something, to have it associated with dignity and integrity, that is rare. there's no shortcut to get it. it's not something you can buy. >> and beau biden's sister ashley biden also gave an emotional eulogy. she said how it was the tragic privilege of her life, she believes, to accompany him to his chemotherapy treatments over the year. he died last saturday of brain cancer and she joked she was
2:41 am
referred to as the flea within the family, she stuck to her brother's side so much. also hearing painstaking details of the last moments of beau biden's life from his younger brother hunter. >> his family surrounding him, everyone holding on to him. each of us desperately, desperately holding him. each of us whispering "i love you, i love you, i love you." i held his hand. and he took his last breath. and i know that i was loved. and i know that his hand will never leave mine. >> that was one of the most emotional parts of the funeral. in addition to afterwards, chris martin, the lead singer of coldplay, he came out and performed here today. he heard that beau biden was a big fan and volunteered to come. back to you.

2:48 am
the shooting but does show cars in the area. they've handed that over to investigators. for now, the fear of the unknown has residents on edge. >> oh, yeah. that's yes tell my kids, stay in a group, three or four or more, don't be by yourself. >> we try not to ride our bikes in the morning or we avoid being out late at night as well. >> reporter: ana cabrera, cnn, loveland, colorado. still to come, one of cnn's more ubiquitous figures marks the network's 35 years with a look back at some of her memorable moments. get ready for a big dose of jeanne moos. just stay calm and move as quietly as possible. ♪ [whirring drones] ♪ no sudden movements. ♪ [screaming panic] ♪ [whirring drones] google search: bodega beach house. ♪
