>> we start this hour in upstate new york. police are following new leads in the search for two escaped killers. >> authorities are looking at surveillance video from a gas station. near the prison in donnemora. that's where search dogs first detected a scent, which could be the killers. >> reporter: police dogs picked up a scent that investigators think came from killers richard matt and david sweat. the best leads so far have been found just a few miles from the maximum security prison where the two staged their spectacular escape. small clues in a massive search. food wrappers, a shoe or boot print, and matted grass where the two may have bedded down for the night. quickly checkpoints went up on the main highway leading from the prison o to nearby platsburg. checking back seats and trunks, a former inmate who testified

against matt spoke to cnn saying he is worried the brutal killer may come after him. >> he is dangerous, kul and like i said, very evil. there is no telling what his mind-set is and what he can do or will do next. >> authorities say it is likely the two are still near the prison with no reported break-ins or carjackings. a thinking a combination of bad weather and intense search may have forced the two to hunker down in place if they are even still together. they also site information that killers don't like the outdoors. adding that david sweat takes pain medication for a bad back. meanwhile investigators continue to question joyce mitchell the prison employee who a source familiar with the investigation tells cnn planned to drive their get away car before changing her mind at the last minute. another source told o cnn that mitchell admitted one of the men, richard matt made her feel special. mitchell's husband told nbc news

that's very possible. >> she is from country, from dickerson, small town. she could be the country girl that got sweet talked by some city guy. >> when asked about mitchell's involvement, mitchell's daughter in law told me, i'm totally disgusted that anyone would think she add relationship with these men and she would knowingly help them. she would never want a criminal near her family. jason carol, cnn, dannemora, new york. >> cnn has also learned that prison officials previously received a complaint about the relationship between joyce mitchell and one of the escaped murderers. clinton county district attorney andrew wily con o firfirms ther an investigation but not enough evidence to confirm the investigation. matt was removed from the tailor shop where he worked with

mitchell. >> officials confirm another person died and now the total number of deaths stands at 11. cnn's senior international correspondent ivan watson joins us live from hong kong with more details. ivan, good day to you. this is a virus that officials say remains in hospitals. that transmission has not yet hit the general public but clearly it's got a lot of people concerned. >> absolutely. and the south korean government has been sending out all the signals to its own populous that it is taking this very seriously. the president delayed a trip to washington this week. you've had the health authorities coming out with a hot line that people can call. web sites that provide kind of up to the minute details on the developments here. and their regular briefings that show that despite a number of measures, such as closing down at least two hospitals temporarily, that were visited by people infected with mers,

that shutting down temporarily some 2800 schools or more, that still the number of people being infected does continue to incrementally grow. the latest figure at least 126 confirmed cases. and sadly the death toll continues to grow with now o 11 people as of friday morning having succumbed to the virus. now the virus seems to be most dangerous to people who are elderly. people who o already have quite serious medical conditions who o already are quite ill to begin with. so we've heard from some people who have actually overcome the illness. or so people battling it now and describe flu-like symptoms. it is the elderly and already sick who are believed to be most vulnerable. that is part of why the government las been closing down at least two hospital os because everybody infected thus far, george, is believed to have come into contact with the virus in

hospitals in the first place. that means a lot of those people were going there because they were sick. and hoping to be treated for something else. and then they came down with this virus that has just been imported in the lot of three weeks from saudi arabia. george? >> ivan, you point out that some schools have been closed, that some hospitals have been forced close oed, and patients and staff karquarantined. what else can you tell us about the system of creating safe hospitals for officials to essentially separate mers cases from everyone else. >> yeah. i mean, this is something that the government has been talking about for several days now. and establishing safe hospitals. more than 80 of them. so that people who are fear they may have a mers, may have symptoms, which are often similar to the common flu or cold that they can go there and hopefully not infect the rest of the populous, which has been the pattern in the past.

more than 80 of these institutions are dealing with trying to contain the outbreak from spreading further. in the meantime, there is creat created ripple effects throughout the region. hong kong, a perfect example, this city, very sensitive to potential respiratory illness outbreaks. because in 2003, hundreds of people died here of the sars outoutbreak. so the hong kong government, there are travel advisories, saying, if you don't have the need to travel to south korea, please don't go there right now. this is having an anecdotal rip will effect. we are hearing about people canceling. tourist tours. to south korea. and we have actually spoken with a spokesperson for the shanghai filling festival on mainland china and e-mailed some south korean invities and suggested they please not come. that gives you a sense of some

of the jitters that neighboring countries in their region are starting to feel about this outbreak in south korea. george? >> they are working to stop the spread of the virus but clearly as you point out a rip will effect is happening. senior international correspondent ivan watson, thank you for reporting. 45 new cases of ebola have been reported in guinea and sierra leone this month. . last month the world health organization declared neighboring liberia ebola free but warned this latest outbreak could bring the disease back to that country. french prosecutors are opening up an inquiry into the plane crash in march that killed all 150 people on that flight. >> we are learn morgue about the copilot, this man, andreas lubi lubitz, the copilot who may have

downed the plane, visited 41 doctors including a psychiatrist the month before the crash. lubitz worried he was going blind. jim bittermann is live forness pair piri paris. jim, yes he was considered to be unfit for the cockpit, p but how unfit? as we learn so much more. >> exactly, natalie. quite a bit of information coming out, the prosecutors holding a news conference to explain he is holding a criminal investigation to see if there was anyone that could be charged criminally with this. that would mean the airline or people involved in the lubitz case somehow. he saw numerous psychiatrists and doctors over the years. in fact the prosecutor said he saw 41 different doctors in the course of the five years before the crash. he was apparently completely worried about list loss of eyesight. he complained that he had only

30 or 35% of his vision. and that especially at night and the doctors found when they examined his vision that there was no organic reason that is suggesting it was a mental reason, no organic reason that his vision should o be impaired. so he was worried about his loss of vision. he was worried about what that would lead to the loss of his pilots license, loss of career. he was depressed, and talked about taking his own life. then he went into investigating things on the internet such as how to keep the cockpit door locked as he eventually did. in bringing the plane down. how to keep the cockpit door locked. other types of suicide he might dry. there are a lot of warning signs. i think the prosecutor wants to find out if anyone was negligent in not bringing warning signes to the public. natalie? >> well, anyone for the airline or any officials in germany have any comment about these revolutions?

>> well, the airline has already said that it did -- it was brought to the airline's attention years ago that he suffered from depression and they took him off the roster for a while p. then brought him back. that has been admitted. so patient/doctor secrecy, what can be said to authorities, there are strict laws about that. but apparently if a doctor feels a criminal act is about to be perpetrated, they can violate that secrecy. that is not the ka case in this case but one doctor did question as to whether lubitz was able to fly. >> jim bittermann, live for us in paris. >> u.s. military is reporting another close encounter with the russian fighter jet.

this time, the u.s. officials say the su-24 came within 3 meters or about 10 feet of an american air force jet on may 30th. this video from the same day shows the same kind of plane zooming past a u.s. destroyer in the black sea. matthew chance now joins us on the phone from moscow with more. matthew, good day to you. this happened in international airspace and a u.s. defense official at the time described the encounter to be considered routine. what can you explain about the dynamic that is at play here? we may not have matthew there on the phone. but again you're seeing video of this very close encounter there with a russian jet. we may have matthew now. we will get back to matthew a little later in the newscast. you're watching cnn "newsroom."

the u.s. unveils a new plan to combat isis. >> it could require more american troops to be deployed to iraq. details, straight ahead. >> i have nothing left. my home is finished. i am scared for my family. >> also, coming up, a family that left everything behind in syria starts over in greece as the country struggles with a never ending stream of migrants. >> and final chapter in the lured legal battle surrounding strauss-kahn is being written today. the beast was as long as the boat. for seven hours, we did battle. until i said... you will not beat... meeeeee!!! greg. what should i do with your fish? gary. just put it in the cooler. if you're a fisherman, you tell tales.

it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. put the fish in the cooler!

welcome back. just before the break we told you that the u.s. military is reporting another close o encounter with a russian fighter jet. the su-24 reportedly came within 3 meters or about 10 feet within a u.s. jet. this video, shows the same kind of plane zooming past a u.s. destroyer in the black sea.

we turn back to matthew chance who joins us on the phone from moscow. good to have you with us again. this happened in the u.s. airspace. and official at the time described the encounter as routine. can you describe the dynamic in play? >> caller: yes. i think, george, we are seeing a lot more contact between russian aircraft and aircraft from, and warships, from nato countries like the united states as well. for a couple of reasons. first reason is that rush why after a period of allowing its military to slump into a bit after recess put lots of money into rebuilding that military. restarted its training flights and routine patrols. and that brought it into contact with the west enmilitary alliance. and that's why it is -- the aircraft are intercepted by nato warplanes. as we've been reporting over the past several months. the other response to that of course is that nato itself, including the united states, has

been stepping up its own patrols of areas like the baltic state and black sea as well. which brings warships intorussi patrols as well. we are seeing an up surge in the amount of contact between o the two former cold war rivals. and that's pretty routine. except when instances like this happen and one aircraft gets too close to the other one and it can pose a risk those in the air. i think that's the real danger, the real concern. with all these upsurges in contacting nato and russian militaries, is that some kind of incident could take place and that could spark a broader more difficult problem or crisis. >> matthew, as you describe this most recent incident, we are looking at this video of this close encounter released by the u.s. navy.

it was released, we understand to show these incidents do happen, even though rush whsin y denies it. thank you, matthew, for reporting there. coming up, the latest strategy of a series of lilly pad bases to help the iraqi troops on the ground. >> that may be a new one. a move like this could require more u.s. troops deployed to the region. here is cnn's jim sciutto. >> the 450 additional u.s. troops heading to train iraqi forces aren't just the beginning. today the pentagon is saying the deployment of u.s. advisers in western iraq could be the model for more u.s. outposts around the country. lilly pads joint chief dempsey

called them. quote our campaign is built on establishing these lilly pads that allow us to encourage the iraqi security forces forward. we are looking all the time to see if additional sites might be necessary. the military is considering three to four possible locations including a base between baghdad and isis controlled city of kir kuk. these u.s. forces won be involved in combat but they would be closer to kboot and possibly in greater numbers. >> when you bring forces out that far out front, what you are doing is getting them as close to the front line as you possibly can without actually stepping on to the front line. it is a very risky strategy. >> the new plan is at its core a recognition of failure by the iraqi military. in battle after battle from ramadi to to the fall of mosul, one year ago today, the iraqi forces were often overwhelmed. even as they greatly outnumbered

isis fighters. u.s. forces will give iraqi troops command support, logistics, and crucially, confidence. the administration acknowledged the danger to u.s. troops while drawing distinction between these new deployments and full scale operation in iraq. >> there is a difference between 3500 troops in a combat role and 3500 troops not in a combat role. >> reporting there on thursday. the u.s. house rejected a pressure that would force lawmakers to o vote on the use of military force against isis. >> several officials are accused of israel and wean iran and six world powers. there are claims that someone was spying on the hotels where leaders were staying. u.s. officials say israel has used similar tactics before.

iran's ambassador to the u.n. nuclear age not sncy addressed issue on thursday. >> you know that there are enemies to this these talks. and they will do whatever they can. so it is not a surprise for us and it is not unexpected event. >> representatives for both israel's foreign and prime ministers declined to comment but israel denied similar allegations in the past. for. >> a verdict is expected today in the trial of dominique strauss-kahn. form he is accused of arranging appointments with prostitutes. he claims he didn't know the women were prostitutes.

he is officially charged with pimping. he is no longer looking for a deal, so acquittal is possible. so many of them are getting out and where they are headed, we don't get to follow them all the time but we did follow one family who shared their story with cnn about how they ended up likesome other so many other mi in greece. >> reporter: he has so much to smile about but he doesn't know it. like many others, he made it to europe without harm. you walk the street and you get a sense of the challenge authorities have on their hands. just behind me, majority of people there are from pakistan. this is a group of friends who arrived from syria. next todoor, a family with thre children. families from syria and a group of friends from afghanistan.

all of these people desperate looking to europe for a by out. the family from aleppo arrived only ten day easy go, making the powerless journey from turkey. >> it is so hard. small shipping and air, not good shipping. and all the children and woman so scared. >> here, they are a fractured family. >> this is my cousin. this my wife. my daughter. don't have no mother, no father in syria. >> a family ripped apart by war and torn by sacrifice. >> why didn't the mother come? >> no money. >> now living in this apartment we wait to be transferred to athens. time is all they have here. so they tidy and dote on 6-month-old anna. boredom is so that even playing with pillows makes time go faster. but a life on pause is let

better than one in conflict. >> i have nothing now. my home is finish. i am scared for my family. so much war is big. big war. >> and if you looking, you see people die. >> in case i still don't understand, the grandmother filled with emotion and anger tells me what has been their biggest struggle to date. . the family is one of thousands of families seeking shelter here. 70% of the refugees arriving are syrian. there are asylum applications getting priority over other nationalities. others are not forgotten.

as the sun sets, hundreds leave for athens. for these refugees, this part of their journey is just beginning. >> you're watching cnn newsroom. a local naacp leader is facing growing controversy over her race. >> this woman has been saying for years she's african-american. but others, including her parents, say she's just pretending. >> and then, australian media mogul rupert murdoch is stepping down as ceo of fox. but he is not giving up all the power. that story as this broadcast continues on cnn international and cnn usa.

welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world. good to have you with us. this is cnn "newsroom." i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. there is surveillance video from a gas station near the prison where the two dangerous murderers escaped. search dogs picked up a scent that could be from the men. investigators also found food wrappers and a shoe print. >> in south korea, another person has died in the outbreak of the mers virus. that brings the total number of dead now to 11. the number of cases now stands at 126 with four new cases confirms on friday. and more than 3800 people have been quarantined. >> the copilot believed to have downed germanwings flight 9525 feared he was going blind.

andreas lubitz made seven visits to doctors in the month before the crash. prosecutors in france announced they are opening an inquiry into the crash that killed everyone on board. air raids in yemen have not stopped as coalition tries to stop rebels and restore power to the exiled president. for the first time, we are learning that the stripes have hit the old city portion of s sanaa. neighbors and families are searching rubble for survivors. i'm joined on the phone by the woman who took these photos, alex potter. she joins me now from sanaa. alex, as we see these pictures, we know this is a part of the city that is very, very historic. what can you tell us about what you've seen as far as the bombing. >> caller: hi, natalie. yeah, this is the old city of

sanaa. it is not just a museum, and it is very densely populated city. all of the houses around it, like the four that fell down, most of them are five or six stories tall, each of them in 20 plus family members inside. luckily most of the family got out. but i know of at least five victims and the wife of one of the men. when it happened at night, we are not exactly sure what struck the houses. because the men are still digging it out. houses have completely collapsed. but something hit the houses. something made it fall down. we are not sure what. people are guessing it is from a saudi or coalition airplane. as far as rescue, yemen has very little in the way of rescue or medical services. it is all neighbors coming out and men and boys and couple of

women helping to dig people out of the rubble. and they are still going at it now. >> you talk about how dense this area is and how many people live here but we know that it is -- we have been seeing these amazing pictures of how beautiful this city is. and appreciate where it is perched and how old these buildings are. that along with people who live there could be in jeopardy. >> definitely. some of them at their bases because they are built as they go up but some are several hundred years old, if not more. so old sanaa is not just a visual representation of yemen but i feel like the heart and soul of a lot of yemen. at least the north. and yeah, i'm -- i live in the quarter next to it. so when it happened, we could feel it at my house. i went over after a little while. a lot of them were my neighbors. i knew the people living in the

house. yeah, it is a big struggle for the community. >> and so what now? where do you go? where do the people go? are you staying there? >> for me, i don't really want to stay. i have many options. there are bunkers in the areas. there are houses can i go to outside the old city. this is abnormal the old city has been hit. which is why everyone is in shock. they thought the old city is the refuge. there is nothing military. nothing to do with militia. just families. like tons and tones of families. but for a lot of these families, they have someone in another area of the city, but a lot of them don't. they trace their entire lineage back through the old city of sanaa. a lot of people have nowhere else to go. >> we foe there aren't many people there to respond, as you say. and we thank you for the pictures and talking with us,

alex potter there from sanaa. please be safe. thank you. u.n. peace talks aimed at the conflict in geneva sunday. more than 2500 people have died in the fighting there. >> now to ohio where a judge says prosecutors should move forward with charges against officers involved in the shooting death of a 12-year-old boy. the judge found there is propable cause to bring murder charges against one of the officers involved. and negligent homicide charges against the other officer. his ruling though is not binding. it is just a recommendation. last year police mistook rice's pellet gun for a real weapon and they shot him. the entire incident was captured on this surveillance video. prosecutors say a grand jury will ultimately decide whether or not to indict the officers involve oed. >> media giant rupert murdoch is leaving as ceo of 21st century

fox. >> he is handing the reigns over to his two sons. he will have a role at the company. cnn's brian shetelter has the story. >> reporter: rupert murdoch, one of the o most inflew the media titan is ready to hand over reigns to his sons, james an lachlan. james will be ceo. lachlan will be with his father. it is a clear moment of generational change. rupert murdoch's career over 60 years ago when his newspaper publisher father died and left him in control of the newspaper. out in conglomerate includes the 21st century fox films studio.

the fox broadcast network. the fox news channel. and sky news. his other company, news corporation, has harper collins publishing, wall street hurn journal, britains times and several in murdoch's native australia. but his rise to to the top has come with many challenges. he had to close his pride and joy. the powerful businessman facing questions from british politicians. >> i would like to siay one sentence. this is the most humbled day of my life. >> did you close o the newspaper down because of the criminality. >> yes, we felt ashamed of what had happened. we thought we should bring it to a close. >> people lied to you and lied to their readers. >> we had broken that trust with our leaders.

when she was a teenager. >> are you american? >> i don't understand the question of -- i did tell you that yes, that's my dad. and he was unable to come in january. >> are your parents -- are they white -- >> that's when she walked away from our interview in such a hurry she left her purse and car keys behind. our photographer dutifully returned them as she hid inside this clothing store. >> that was cnn affiliate kxly. jeff humry reporting there. kxly reports they are investigating whether or not the woman violated its code of ethics. >> interesting story there from spokane. >> to say the least. >> to say the least. >> eastern nepal is rocked by another natural disaster. earthquakes took a heavy toll two months ago. now landslides, look at it, have claimed dozens more lives. that's ahead here. >> and another big shakeup at

triggered the landslide is proof of that. when you factor in the monsoonal rains settling in, we have a recipe for disaster. that's the mud slides you see on the tv screen behind me. can you see what are called striations or just the gouges into the sides of the mountain as the rock and the muddy vently gives way and gravity eventually wins and unfortunately leaving 20 fatalities. by the way, there have been rescue attempts in this area but because of dense thick fog the helicopters have not been able to fly in and out of that remote village. look at my satellite imagery across the area. where the landslide took place is northeastern nepal. they actually received nearly an entire month's worth of rain fall. half this at least. in 24-hour period. with earthquakes the size of the one that took plis in april and

subsequent aftershocks that took place, it destabilized the rugged terrain. remember the himalayans are in the region. you add on top of that destabilized ground with heavy rain fall and rock and must just slides down giving way to gravity. here is the on slot of the monsoonal moisture. mt. everest, katmandu, seeing the rain move in. it is the rainiest time of the year. of course, this is the rainy season. we think back to the original earthquake and people sleeping outside in tents. it looks dire with thunderstorms expected that could lead to the possibility of more landslide. we have a weather pattern across europe. just winding up over each other, off the west coast of france. portugal and spain. and this is going to create the possibility of severe weather today. so if you are watching us from

perhaps the birmingham region, thank you first and for most. you have strong wind and heavy rain, and in southern france and northwestern sections of italy. i want to talk lastly about something that happened in central spain on thursday this is actually footage of hail stones falling in madrid. two centimeter hail stones that cause damage to cars and just wreak havoc on city streets. and flooding roadways there as well. can you just hear the hail. guys, you do not want to be caught in a storm like that outside. >> i have been. >> not pleasant. >> insurance companies -- >> thank you. >> thanks, guys. >> we have sad news to report in the world of country music. singer jim ed brown died thursday after losing his battle with cancer. brown was a star of the grand old opry for more than 50 years. he was elected a member of the country music hall of fame in
