the trail for two killers in new york has allegedly gone cold. . a source says the fugitives had plans to kill joyce mitchell's husband, though it's not clear how much she knew about that. the source also says mitchell was having a sexual relationship with one of the men. a new york state official says investigators are looking into whether the inmates forced mitchell into helping them break out of the maximum security prison. richard matt and david sweat have been on the run now since june 6th. hundreds of law enforcement agents are searching for them. but the fear is that they are by now long gone. the district attorney spoke to cnn's erin barnett earlier. >> it's very possible they did have a plan b. we have no idea what that plan b would be if it in fact exists. like you said, we're into this

over a week and a half now, and, you know, it's getting very frustrating, not only for my office and this community that i live in and protect, but it's the law enforcement officers, the correction officers. everybody involved is getting very frustrated, not getting our hands on these two individuals. >> now what's interesting is that the district attorney also says he thinks joyce mitchell is trying to be truthful, as truthful as possible, in fact, but he says it is still possible that she's holding something back. mitchell faced the judge again on monday. that's her second court appearance since friday. miguel marquez has more from new york. >> reporter: joyce mitchell pleads not guilty again, of helping two convicted murderers break out of the maximum security state prison described

as "little siberia." >> i think she's handling things fairly well. >> reporter: mitchell stands accused of sneaking hacksaw blades, drill bitting, a punch and other contraband into the two killers' hands. the 51-year-old developed a relationship with both david sweat and richard matt, telling investigators the plan was for her to pick them up and drive to be seven hours away by the time they were discovered missing. mitchell backed out because she says she still loves her husband, checking herself into the hospital after suffering a nervous attack in the hours after the breakout. her husband cried when he heard the allegations against his wife. tonight mitchell isn't on suicide watch. but -- >> obviously, anybody that's gone through this kind of risk, pressure, we're going to keep a close eye on. you don't want to wait 30 minutes to find medical issues. we want to be right there when it happens.

>> reporter: favro's office says his gut instinct tells him mitchell was not their escape plan a. >> if they went through this elaborate plan to get out of this facility, that they had a better plan than her picking them up at 12:30 to take them out of here. she was the backup plan, not the front plan. >> let me start down here with our guide -- >> reporter: the search focussing intensely on the area near the prison. this is possible evidence being pulled from a stream less than a mile away. favro says he's split nearly evenly on whether the convicts are still in the area. kate gerard grew up exploring the woods she called home where the killers may now be holed up. what do you make of this happening in your neighborhood? >> it's amazing. i feel so safe with so many law

enforcement people around, but again, being in the middle of the woods is a built scary at times. >> we are joined by miguel to talk about this. what more do we know about this. joyce mitchell had this relationship with these men and why her husband would now be at risk. >> reporter: yeah, both of them say a source close to the situation had a relationship with her. one of them had a sexual relationship with her. and what this tells us is that what started off as a friendship and a relationship, they began to manipulate her. she began to help them. and at some point during that process, she became nervous. she started to get cold feet, wanted to pull back, but they wouldn't let her. they began to basically manipulate her in a very negative way, turning the relationship into a blackmail situation, basically saying if you don't continue to help us, we're going to tell authorities what you are doing. she then continued. at one point apparently, it

seems they threatened to kill her husband who also worked at the prison. and that's where some of the confusion comes in. and at some point she agreed to be their get away driver. she got cold feet that night though, saying she still loved her husband. didn't back out and didn't show up. the question is why she never told authorities and whether or not they had another plan all along. errol? >> wow. it is such a bizarre development. talk to us more about the help she provided. i mean, she was part of this intercat escape plan. what was her role exactly? >> reporter: well, what authorities have said so far is that she provided them hacksaw blades, chisels. a punch. drill bits, other contraband, .

wu hashy lass credentials. he had been osama bin laden's driver, one of his closest aides. and one analyst says for about four years he never left osama bin laden's side. in 2009, when al qaeda branches

in saudi arabia merged, his ascent was confirmed by eye man al saur hery. i spoke with analyst brian fishman about the kind of role he has running aqap. >> he's not the operational guy. he's the ceo. he's the guy ultimately responsible for all of this fund-raising. he's recruiting. he's setting the policy guidelines for this organization as a whole. but he's got other folks that are doing some of the khey operations. >> reporter: and the other people with aqap are very dangerous, including the master bomb maker, ibrahim al asiri. he is so devoted to the cause of attacking the u.s. and its allies that he once placed a bomb in the body of his own brother for an attack on a

minister. that bombing killed his brother but failed to kill the minister. it's his work that leads officials to call this branch of al qaeda to be the most dangerous branch. he is believed to be behind the plot to bomb an airliner with a bomb placed in the under wear of a passenger. the following year he placed bombs in printer cartridges shipped in planes bound for the u.s. again, that plot came very close to working but was disrupted. it's his ability to get bombs on planes bound for the united states and past security which makes him and this group so dangerous to america. he is believed to be still alive. and intelligence officials believe acere may have trained others how to do what he does in case he's killed. >> now we wanted to get more

perspective on how big a blow this would be to al qaeda. we spoke to rick francona about that. >> they don't want to go out and say he's dead and then him pop up later. you know, we've had numerous reports of the death of both of these guys before. so they're erring on the side of caution. they don't want to, you know, take their victory lap before they're sure. the problem is, it's going to be very, very difficult to confirm these deaths, because we don't have boots on the ground in either one of the locations. we can't get into the benghazi area. we cannot get into these areas of yemen now. it's going to be very difficult. we're going to have to rely on the locals to tell us. this is a win/win for the united states if this is in fact true. we want to make sure this is the truth before we go out and take our victory lap. >> now both france and the u.s. have been hunting belmokhtar for years, offering an award leading

for information to his capture. now rachel dolezal has stepped down from the spokane, washington naacp. she lied about her race for years, claiming to be black. but her parents say they're white, so she's white. they sent out images of her when she was young as proof. the controversy may have led to her resignation, but she's not talking publicly about it. cnn's stephanie elam has more. >> reporter: while she still didn't answer the burning question about her race. >> are your parents, are they white? >> reporter: the spokesman is stepping down, writing in this letter, quote, i have waited in deference while others have expressed their feelings, absent the full story. it is with complete allegiance to the cause of racial and social justice that i step aside. i will never stop fighting for human rights. that resignation changing

tonight's planned protest into a rally for healing. >> we're going to make a conscious decision to forgive rachel. >> reporter: yet the national with her brother calling her behavior black face. >> she took me aside when i was over there and told me to make sure that no one found out where she was actually from and for me not to blow her cover. >> this is what we have. we have older white men on our currency. >> reporter: but this revelation is giving fuel to some of her critics who now see dolezal's actions deliberate. >> i believed in someone. >> reporter: she says she's stepping down but not backing down from social activism. a stance some in spokane honor. >> it doesn't change how we feel about rachel, and it doesn't discredit her work and everything she has built and accomplished since, as long as we've all known her.

>> that was our stephanie elam report being from spokane, washington. a lot of forgiveness there, in fact, but something to keep in mind. >> this began with her parents who spoke about her misrepresentation. earlier, larry and ruth ann dolezal spoke about their daughter's behavior. >> it's a baffling thing. until she explains it. >> reporter: my question for you, when this all started, why did you do it? >> well, we called about a week ago by a reporter from cure delaine press, and i guess we had the option of, when they asked you are you rachel dolezal's parents, we had the option of hanging up, saying no comment, telling a lie or telling the truth. >> why do you think she's doing

it? do you think that she believes she's black? >> i think rachel has somehow, in her mind, come to the conclusion that in order to be an advocate for african-americans she needs to be hostile to whites. and so to try and establish her identity or her relating to ot african-americans she felt that she needed to reject her family and be accusatory towards them. >> dolezal's family has shared copies of her birth certificate which says that she was born to two parents who were caucasian. now more on the mers outbreak as officials plan to hold an emergency meeting. plus, our arwa damon speaks

places like internet cafes are sanitizing more often. so far it has not spread to the public, and authorities want to keep it that way. the other good news is that some have recovered and have been released from the hospital. 70 people who had been quarantined from having contact with a man have been released too. more news from the peninsula now. new images from north korea show an apparent naval drill. according to state media. kim jong-un observed the nighttime drill. afterwards, the leader praised them for providing a successful defense of territorial waters. to quote highly intelligent rockets were tested in the early hours of tuesday morning just as they announced they were ready

welcome back to our viewers in the u.s. and those of you tuned in from all around the world. this is "cnn newsroom." thanks for staying with me. i'm errol barnett. here are our top headlines. officials say the leader in al qaeda in arabia has been killed. they say his replacement has already been named. the informant for chuck blazer says he was under cover. officials say the search for two escaped killers has now gone cold. the official says joyce mitchell

may have been threatened into helping the men. a source familiar with the investigation says the convicts had planned to murder mitchell's husband. now it's feared 12 members of the british family have traveled to syria with their children, including one as young as 3 years old. they're looking for three sisters in their 30s as well as their nine kids. the group left for saudi arabia last month. but there are concerns they traveled on to syria to join another family member fighting for an extremist group. all this comes one day after it was revealed a 17-year-old from britain had apparently committed a suicide attack in iraq over the weekend. he is believed to be the u.k.'s youngest-ever suicide bomber. the family say they were devastated when they found out what happened. they say isis exploited the boy and that his handlers are cowards. nick robertson went to the

family's home in england. >> reporter: dead, age 17. thought to be britain's youngest suicide bomber. at his family's house in northern england, mourners were streaming in and out through the day. family bringing tea to reporters. but declining interviews, letting their finely-worded statement stand. he fell under the spell of individuals who continued to prey on his innocence and vulnerability to the point where if the press reports are accurate, he was ordered to his death by so-called isis handlers and leaders, too cowardly to do their own dirty work. even family friends, even those with strong opinions reflecting the family's blame of isis on online radicalizing, preferring not to share their thoughts publicly. in this reasonably well-off tight-knit community few here it seems want to speak out, in part

out of respect for the family. in part, also, because they feel under scrutiny and pressure. at the mosque at the street end that neither talha or his family attended, the imam spoke of his shock and concerns. >> translator: i would request everyone in the community to take care of their children and to also take care of who they send their children to study under. it matters that the right knowledge is imparted. and we live in this community in a peaceful manner. >> reporter: according to neighbors, talha grew up playing on these streets, the oldest of four children. when he first went missing in march, his family contacted the police. this photo was part of their appeal for help. but it was too late. his family said, completely unbeknown to husbanis family, h ended up traveling, it seems to iraq. it took isis just two months to

destroy everything his parents nurtured and turned him into a suicide bomber. nick robertson, cnn, england. now a south african court was just moments from ordering the president of sudan arrested, but al bashir slipped out of the country, hastily flying out of a military base. he arrived home to a hero's welcome. the south african government was being asked to detain him. the top icc prosecutor says the court is disappointed al bashir got away. >> reaction internationally, the anger, if you will, about what has happened, i believe, actually strengthens the position of the court. it is clear from what happened

over the last few days and especially today in the court in south africa that an icc warrant of arrest actually means something. president bashir did not leave in quite the way i expect he thought he would. and certainly not in the way he arrived. >> mr. al bashir was in johannesburg attending a summit. the south african judge was furious about his departure. he accused the government of not preventing it and said that violated the constitution. now jeb bush is officially in the running to become the next u.s. president entering a very crowded field of republican candidates. the former florida governor formally announced his 2016 bid for the white house at a rally in miami on monday, vowing to make america into, quote, an economic sumer power, he is the son of former president george

h.w. bush and the brother of george w. bush. he's trying to convince bovoter that he offers more than just a famous last name. suzanne malveaux has more. >> reporter: the first name slogan says it all, simply, jeb. >> i've decided, i'm a candidate for president of the united states of america. >> reporter: the 11th republican to jump in. jeb bush acknowledged his famous family. >> take that from a guy who met his first president on the day he was born and his second on the day he was brought home from the hospital. >> reporter: but he took pains not to appear entitled. >> and not one of us deserves the job by right of resume, party, family, or family narrative. it's nobody's turn. >> reporter: the two eldest sons of president george h.w. bush and barbara are similar in some ways. both deeply religious men,

graduates of philips academy who love sports and worship their father. but those close to the family say they have never been close. he has drawn distinct policy-line differences. >> i would not have gone into iraq. >> reporter: and that's not where the differences end. george, the extroverted, self-deprecating ivy league c student. >> i am surprised i can write much less read. >> reporter: referred to as the family clown, leaving no one safe from his humor, including me. >> you used to be known as suzanne. now you're suzahn. i'm gauj. >> reporter: while he is fluent in spanish. it was jeb who was expected to follow in his father's political

footsteps to avenge h.w.'s loss to clinton in 1992. but in '94, the bush brothers surprised nearly everyone when jeb lost the governor's race in florida while george won it in texas that brought their father to tears. >> they took note of his defeated opponent. and showed not merely with words but with his action what decency -- >> reporter: suzanne malveaux, washington. >> now jeb bush spoke to dana bash about his plan to win the nomination on his own merit. >> jeb is different than george. and jeb is who he is. my life story is different. i don't have to disassociate myself from my family.

i love them. but i know for me to be successful, i'm going to have to show my heart, tell my story. >> and jeb is the second presidential candidate from florida. he's completing against senator marco rubio who announced his bid earlier this year. now first lady michelle obama is in the u.k. to promote her let girls live initiative. the first lady is expected to speak at a school in london on tuesday. she's also scheduled to meet with prince harry and have tea with british prime minister david cameron. the ladies will travel to italy later in the week. and once again, the stanley cup is back in chicago. the blackhawks shut out the tampa bay lightning monday night, 2-0 in the game, i should say the sixth game of the stanley cup finals. it's chicago's third championship since 2010, and it's the first time the blackhawks have won the stanley

cup at home in 77 years. now after devastating flooding back in may, people in the u.s. state of texas are preparing for the worst. >> tropical storm bill. we'll touch on what would happen here, just not with flooding but after the storm makes landfall, coming up next. a wide-screen multimedia center, and a head-up display for enhanced driver focus. all inside a redesigned cabin of unrivaled style and comfort. the 2015 c-class. at the very touchpoint of performance and innovation. that reminds me... anyone have occasional constipation, diarrhea... ...gas, bloating? yes! one phillips' colon health probiotic cap each day

whoa, this 178-foot tall water tower coming down with a thundering crash on sunday. a demolition team in plano, texas, brought the structure down by cutting it away at the base and allowing it to tip over. similar to cow tipping, i

believe. the tower was built some 30 years ago but hasn't been used since 2010. we want to get a bit more serious because texas is bracing for more heavy rain. a tropical storm is gaining steam in the gulf of mexico, and it's expected to bring four to it's inches of rain or more to eastern parts of texas. the state already saw record rainfall in may. so the ground is still soaked in many areas. the governor warns this could lied to dangerous flash flooding. several school districts have canceled classes. for more on this storm, let's bring in pedram javaheri who ex-complainex compla explained to me that it could cause more flooding. >> you need a tremendous amount of soil moisture. and we're about 140% above normal in the state of texas and also the state of oklahoma. so you get this storm system over land instead of weakening,

it mimics the ocean when it comes to fueling or keeping its strength even over land, sometimes strengthening as we saw it in 2007 when a storm named aaron made landfall across this region. we know some 32 rivers from the state of texas on into oklahoma, the majority of them in texas, at or above flooding stage. of course you consider what has occurred here, the wettest month on record, in 121 years of data in the united states for weather. you see 20-plus inches come down. this has never happened. and we know, again, with the moisture content in the soil being so high, rainfall two to three inches in one hour will cause extensive flash flooding. it took several days and weeks to lead to devastating floods. this particular storm makes landfall notice next six to eight hours. and once that happens, we'll

begin to see the rainfall intensity pick up quite rapidly. and within a couple hours flash flooding will be sparked across the region. 20 million people in texas and oklahoma under flood orders at this point, with the storm coming ashore. weakening may not happen because of how much moisture is left in place. the models indicate anywhere from san antonio to houston, possibility of six inches, maybe ten inches of rainfall. excessive heat in place, temperatures as hot as 115 in portions of the southwest. the average in phoenix, 104. notice the temperature trend remains quite hot over the next three to five days with 111, even in anchorage, alaska, a wildfire in this area north of anchorage. the heat on 20 degrees above average in portions of alaska with this heat wave. >> those numbers in phoenix,

it's usually hot anyway, but to see it in anchorage is surprising. now a fire breaks out in western france just after morning mass. we can show it to you. you'll be able to see the flames and smoke there billowing from the rooftop. ñzv in did get out safely. a local news says the fire was sparked accidently by workers on the roof. the bad news is that it did suffer major damage. a popular holiday state in the u.s. state of north carolina is reeling today from two shark attacks. the beach became a makeshift trauma ward. they scrambled to help the young victims. we've all heard the statistics that shark attacks are rare, but when they happen, it is horrifying. >> reporter: at 4:40, the first call came in. a 14 year old girl attacked by a

shark while swimming at the oak island beach. >> the left arm is completely missing and also a bite to the left leg. 13 year old, weak pulse. >> her left arm is completely missing? >> reporter: terrified beachgoers tried to help the young victim after she's brought to shore. one and you looker borrows a cell phone from a family member to call 911, the family too distraught to call themselves. >> do you know, are any of the finger it is completes complete? >> it looks like the entire hand is gone. >> if you can, just make sure they take a clean, dry cloth and wrap it around the wound and place pressure on it. >> reporter: and the nightmare didn't end there. less than 90 minutes after the first attack, another one at the same beach. this victim a 16-year-old boy. >> what is it? a shark? >> he's got three people around him that's holding pressure to

his arm. >> listen. tell them do not use a tourniquet. i'm going to tell you how to stop the bleedin'. listen carefully to make sure they do it right. make sure they have a clean, dry cloth or towel and place it right on the wound. okay. if you can, just tell them to let him rest in the most comfortable position and keep reassuring him that help is on the way to him, okay? >> reporter: both victims were airlifted to a local hospital, both in critical didncondition. >> they said the head was about this big, and estimated six to it's foot, blood in the water, coming over with the white wash. kid was in shock. he was still coherent. lost, took it clean off. >> reporter: you saw that? >> i saw what was left of what he had. >> reporter: this beach is not only a popular swimming spot but also the site of a busy fishing pier. that means a lot of bates it in

water and a lot of fish to draw sharks in. they believe one shark was responsible but don't know what kind it was. each lost a limb. the 13 year old lost her arm below the elbow and damage to her leg. the 16 year old lost his arm below the shoulder. >> this is the first time something as major as this has happened. >> tom foreman there reporting from north carolina. now devastating flooding in georgia's capital sending wild animals free. we're going to bring you the latest on the aftermath of the rising water in tbilisi after this short break. stay with us. you know where to go - angie's list. now everyone can get highly rated service even without a membership. you can shop special offers or just tell us what you need, and we'll help you find a local company to take care of it. angie's list is there for all your projects,

this is what the massive flooding left behind in the former soviet republic of georgia. today cleanup efforts will resume in tbilisi after those floods devastated the city over the weekend. at least 12 people are dead and several others are missing. on monday the country observed a day of mourning, and volunteers showed up to help with the massive cleanup. they were hit hard with the
