12:01 am
bars for her alleged role in help two convicted killers escape. she was arrested on a charge of promoting prison contraband. cnn legal analyst mark geragos talked about friday's court appearance. >> she is in a lot of trouble but it's i tell you, my reaction is that this is actually all show, no go. i don't understand why they brought her in in order to ask for a relatively low amount of bail. it's 100 or 200 on a bond. her lawyer basically and for those of you who don't know, one of the reasons the arraignment was delayed they were trying to find lawyer to appoint to represent her. she has been coordinating with the police and the district attorney all this time. but this is almost inexplicable
12:02 am
at this point as to why they proceeded in this fashion. richard matt and david sweat are still on the run eluding authorities now for a week. mitchell, meantime, will be spending the weekend in jail. miguel marquez was in the courtroom earlier in new york. >> joyce mitchell is now arraigned. the felony is promoting prison contraband. the misdemeanor is criminal far till station in the fourth degree. all of this for what authorities tell cnn is her hand in helping two convicted murderers escape from the clinton correctional facility, a maximum security prison, giving them drill bits, hacksaws and goggles with lights on them and providing information and help to them. she had been assisting
12:03 am
authorities all week after having second thoughts. she said and then came the charges. she was in court for only a few minutes and only spoke a few words. she looked absolutely terrified as she stood before the judge here. and only whispering the word "yes" as the judge asked her name. her lawyer entered the plea of not guilty. on monday there will be a be proper arraignment and all the ts will be crossed and is will be dotted. and her lawyer will be assigned on monday. miguel marquez, cnn. the murderers are still on the run tonight. australian prime minister tony abbott faces pressure to confirm or deny allegations that
12:04 am
australian customs officials paid people smugglers to turn their boats around. reports say on may 31st, the captain and crew of a ship received $55,000 each to return to indonesian waters. mr. abbott was asked about the claims but would only say they used a range of measures to stop the boats from coming. mark kenny is the chief correspondent for the sydney herald. stopping the influx of migrants was a campaign promise that tony abbott made and now he is defending whatever measures are being taken. what is the latest? >> the latest after this policy of stopping the boats by turning them around and taking whatever people they intercept to offshore detention centers we
12:05 am
now find that the australian government looks to have been paying some asylum seekers or the smugglers carrying them to take their boats back to indonesia. and the government is accused of paying the smugglers themselves now. >> exactly. because our -- if you are paying the smugglers handsome sums to turn around are you not perpetuating the smuggling if that's what's being done. scene anyone in australia looking into what happened? >> that's a very good point. the government has made this argument very strongly for a long time now that everything about its policy is about removing the factors, the attracting factors of australia and that is any sort of thing that could be seen as an
12:06 am
incentive for the people smugglers to get on boats and make the journey across open water to australia. after doing that for such a long time, the suggestion now that the australian government might be part of that incentive by paying people smugglers has raised eyebrows not just in indonesia where the government is taking these allegations. that's all they are at the moment. tony abbott has pointedly declined to deny that is what is happening. and people are make the assumption that this is what the government is doing. fairfax media broke this story during the week. a lot of people are looking at this now. and there will be pressure for an inquiry and for serious questions to be answered. >> yes, because there -- it speaks to the larger picture of
12:07 am
those taken to boats from libya to italy. an ongoing disaster. white australia be keeping smugglers liquid if indeed that's what it is doing. do people expect that tony abbott can keep on the defense for now? >> well i think he is on the defensive for now. the point about the policy all the way through is that the government is very tough stance against the asylum seekers or against people smuggling has been broadly popular with the majority of australians because there is not a huge amount of sympathy for having people coming into the country through unregulated means. but in what you might call the educated section of the society in the inner cities particularly, there is a great
12:08 am
deal of criticism of this policy and a great deal of unease for a long time about the harsh treatment of people who are in many cases found to be legitimate refugees with a legitimate claim of being -- of fleeing danger and so forth. so the pressure will be mounting on the government. but tony abbott probably believes at this stage he has a majority of voters on his side will remain very strong. >> we'll wait and see what happens next. we appreciate your insight to this story thank you to mark kenny, thank you. we turn now to iraq and shia fighters trying to drive isis out of the city of ramadi now focusing their efforts on fallujah but they need better supplies and quickly. ben wiedemann joins me live from baghdad. fallujah has been the center of
12:09 am
major battles before including the u.s.-led iraq war and looks poised for that again. >> yes, it does. and it's important to keep in mind that fallujah is very close to the iraqi capital of baghdad. it's just one and a half hour's drive away from here. and that might be the reason why the shia popular -- these paramilitary units are refocusing on fallujah as opposed to ramadi. but it's important to keep in mind that on the one hand, these paramilitary units led by the shia seem to be better motivated and better trained and better armed than the iraqi army itself which in the war against isis seems to be taking a backseat. motors rev. the fighters are ready to move out in the desert of anbar province.
12:10 am
there's with the shia-led paramilitary popular mobilization communities. for weeks now the focus has been to drive isis out of ramadi the capital of anbar. now senior commanders say they are changing direction and preparing to cut off the city of fallujah. under isis control since january of last year it's an hour and a half drive from baghdad. the fighters are iraqi but they are getting help from friends next door. this is a 106-millimeter recoilless rifle. it's used to stop vehicles, oftentimes humvees captured by isis which they pack full of explosives and it's one of their main tactics in the fight against pro-government sources. what is significant about this among other things is that it's made in iran.
12:11 am
while the u.s. provides training and weapons to the iraqi army and spearheads coalition air fights against isis -- iran embraces them. the difference between iran and other countries says this kmanter kman demander is that iran delivers weapons quickly, sometimes even before we pay for them. this is a senior commander and spent years in exile in iran while saddam hussein was in power. the iranian advisers, he tells me have expertise and experience. they're the best ones to provide advice to the fighters on the ground. and does he think additional u.s. trainers will make a difference?
12:12 am
will 400 win the battle, he asks? no. it's unbelievable. they filled the vacuum left by an iraqi army that collapsed a year ago when isis went on the offensive. the u.s. is trying to help the army regain the lead but the fall of ramadi last month was a blow to that effort. a hushed logistics unit delivers food and supplies provided by private doe fares to a front post in anbar. the iraqi army is nowhere to be seen. and of course if you look around iraq today, is it not -- it's not the iraqi army that is playing much of a role in anbar province and the plan to reteenage baiji and up north it's the peshmerga who are fighting.
12:13 am
the u.s. wants to provide weapons to the iraqi army and upgrade their training program as well, sending up to 450 trainers for the iraqi army and will try to incorporate sunni tribesmen into the effort. but it will take months to have any impact whatsoever. >> and the weapons that the united states gives the iraqi soldiers ends up in the hands of isis. when ramadi fell to isis it was perhaps that only the shia fighters would take it back. now with the focus on fallujah it is believed that it may be really up to these shia fighters? >> in fact when we spoke to the commander in the report, he said that in fact, they want to get the shia -- the sunni tribesmen involved in the fight as well. he pointed out in 2006 and 2007 during the so-called surge the
12:14 am
americans with their weapons and troops and airplanes and helicopters and artillery were unable to defeat al qaeda in iraq. it's only when they enlisted the help of sunni tribesmen did they success at destroying iraq -- excuse me, al qaeda in iraq but things have changed quite a lot since then. >> they have. and more terrorist organizations to keep up with as well. we appreciate your report, thank you ben wiedemann, our man today in iraq for us. unesco is condemning an air strike in yemen that killed six people and destroyed parts of a world heritage site. the raid hit the city of sanah which days back 2500 years. a witness says one missile didn't explode but landed on a family's compound killing several people who live there.

stocks in athens fell nearly 6% on friday after greek debt talks crumbled. the international monetary fund walked out of negotiations with greek officials on thursday. the country owes creditors $1.7 billion by the end of this month to avoid defaulting. greece could be forced out of the euro zone if it cannot reach a deal. the former head of the international monetary fund has been acquitted of aggravated charges regarding pimping of prostitutes. but politically the case is a problem for the person once thought to be a front runner for the french presidency. >> reporter: four years after he was first arrested and charged in new york and charged in france, the former head of the international monetary fund has
12:16 am
cleared all of the legal hurdles in front of him. there was still doubt of whether he would be found guilty of organized pimping. but the prosecutor had mitted there was not enough evidence to convict him. >> translator: today this judgment reduced the writ to nothing which should make us all think about what the secret instruction means in cases such as this. the judgment was given, everyone saw there was no legal basis for this case and all the enormous fuss which surrounded this case should give everyone something to think about. >> but he has been widely condemned in the court of public opinion. the years of stories many of which were admitted to in court,
12:17 am
about his desire for brutal and animalistic sex have made him the subject of much derision and shame and have probably ruled out a political future for a man who was once front runner to be president of france. after the ruling was handed down he turned to his daughter and said, all of that, for this, what a destruction. but his long legal battles have not been just about him. the saga has provoked a public debate about subjects long taboo here such as the sex lives of politicians and the legal status of prostitutes. the national parliament was considering changes in the law which would make the client of prostitutes as culpable as those who organize and encourage them, a change that if it would have been in place four years ago might have led to a different

12:23 am
>> reporter: it was a massive defeat as president obama's trade agenda suffered a major blow mainly at the hands of his fellow democrats, including their leader in the house, nancy pelosi. despite the president's last-minute trip to capitol hill for one final emotional appeal behind closed doors. >> i don't think you ever nail anything down around here. it's always moving. >> many democrats were turned off. >> the president tried to both guilt people and impugn their integrity. there are a number of us who were insulted. >> reporter: now president obama wans to talk? it was an indictment of the president's weak relations with congress. he was at the congressional softball game for just 20 minutes. >> what do you say to people who
12:24 am
believe it is too little, too late. >> the president had dozens of conversations with democrats in the house and in the senate to make the case for this proposal. >> reporter: the president was pushing for two measures on trade one to help workers who lose their jobs to outsourcing the other to give him authority to negotiate trade deals on his own. but liberals complain that just ships american jobs overseas as ross perot put it in the '90s. >> there will be a giant sucking sound going south. >> reporter: this time, the president miscalculated, slamming his democratic critics instead of wooing them. >> don't just throw out a bunch of stuff and making accusations about it. >> reporter: add to that hillary clint's near silence on the issue. >> any trade deal has to produce jobs and raise wages and
12:25 am
increase prosperity and protect our security. >> reporter: all of that forced the white house to turn to house speaker john boehner to rally republicans to no avail. >> when we don't lead we are allowing and inviting china to go right on setting the rules of the world economy. >> jim acosta reporting there. the trade deal is likely to come back for another vote however next week. a pentagon official accuses russian pilots of acting like cowboys and showoffs after a close call over the black sea. a russian fighter jet came within 10 feet of a u.s. air force surveillance air craft last month. the jet flew alongside, passed underneath it, broke off and shadowed the plane before finally taking off. the u.s. airplane did not engage or try to leave the area.

12:27 am
proving that rachel is white. the couple says their daughter has never claimed to be black in their presence though due to a legal dispute, they haven't talked to her in years. >> it's at her request. that's because rachel has chosen to distance herself from the family and be hostile toward us. she doesn't want to be seen with us. it ruins her image. >> reporter: an image that came about gradually in 2007. >> rachel has always been interested in ethnicity and diversity. and we had friends of many different ethnicities when she was growing up. >> reporter: she went to college in jackson, mississippi before earning a master's degree from howard university in 2002. throughout her career she has fought for racial equality. here she is with baltimore prosecutor marilyn mosby.
12:28 am
she was appointed to oversee equality in the police department. but she indicated she is white, black, and native american. now the city is checking to see if this has violated any policies. >> the truth that she is a white woman who is trying on the blackness, everything but the burden and she can always walk away from it. >> reporter: cnn tried to reach her for comment. as for the naacp? the organization is saying, quote, we encourage americans of all stripes to become members and serve as leaders in our organization. >> you don't have to be black to be a leader in the naacp or to go to howard university. but what is puzzling so many people is that she has been known to be an effective leader when it comes to race relations and many don't understand her

12:37 am
three weeks now, natalie. and in the press conference today there was a lot of public interest and anxiety around there. there wasn't clear information in the early stages. with the w.h.o. joining exports of this joint task force they are investigating the facts around how this disease was transmitted throughout hospitals and here is how the assistant general director of the w.h.o. explained about why this outbreak occurred. >> it must be recognized that this infection that this mers virus infection was unexpected and unfamiliar to most physicians in korea. this made it unlikely for the doctors to suspect or investigate mers co-virus infection as a cause of infection when they saw
12:38 am
respiratory illness. coupled with that, the infection control measures were not optimal in some hospitals related to overcrowding in emergency rooms and having rooms with many patients. in addition particular habits and customs may have had an impact in spreading this infection. >> interesting insights there. and natalie, we'll be hearing more from him in the next hour right here from this bureau. >> interesting the way the hospitals treat the sick there, letting the family members take part. that is being scrutinized and one would assume being changed quickly. >> reporter: yeah, the doctor there referred to the cultural habits here in south korea. and what that is about is the fact that if you compare it to, for instance, the practices in western hospitals you have
12:39 am
visiting hours and the wards are more restricted. but in south korea particularly in the general wards, many visitors come and stay in the patient's rooms with them. they might spend the night. they have meals with them. they bring in food. and we know that this disease isn't transmitted easily. but it is transmitted through close personal contact. what you had was the situation where the hospitals didn't realize that the first patient was infected with mers and he was in a general ward that was exposing a number of other patients and all the people coming to visit. and they were having that close personal contact. that is the concern around mers. they might have been coming in contact with bodily fluids when it comes to helping their loved ones perhaps bathe, for example. all of those things are being scrutinized when it comes to hospital practice and culture in
12:40 am
south korea and how that may have contributed to the spread. >> hopefully some anxieties can be eased with the w.h.o. giving more information on what is happening and not happening in south korea. four western tourists are expected to leave malaysia after serving jail time for stripping naked and posing for photos on a sacred malaysian mountain top. the locals didn't appreciate that. all four pleaded guilty to obscenity charges. the court fined them $1300 and freed them. residents claim that the tourist behavior caused the earthquake earlier this month that killed 16 people. they revere their mountain. interpol is suspending an agreement with fifa, one set up to fight corruption in soccer. plus she is one of the

precipitation. with the storm system ahead of it we have drawn in a considerable amount of heat. look at budapest, 30s for the first part of next week. if you knew it was going to be this hot, how would you dress? the reason i ask this is because very clever people from sweden's stockholm airport have created this pod. it's almost a climate simulator. it's taking weather information from around the globe and simulating the weather conditions forecast for the destinations you are about to fly to. take a look at some of the footage coming out of this region. this is the weather pod. it allows travellers to sample the weather at their destination before they fly there. it uses temperature controllers, audio/visual sensors. it recreates the weather of wherever you are flying to.
