never had sex with them. >> reporter: and some insight into the mindset of richard matt in 1997 smiling and posing with a blow gun. >> dip these in aids blood and sell them as a deadly weapon. the blow gun is fired into his arm, this video taken nine months before he murdered and dismembered his own boss putting matt behind bars. prison policy now under review. and the new york state inspector general has joined the investigation looking into everything that went on before that daring escape. jason carroll, cnn, katieville, new york. in the wake of the church massacre in south carolina lawmakers have voted to open up a debate on a bill to remove the confederate flag from the state

capital. hundreds rallied on the steps on the state house. >> ten representatives voted against the bill. one of them bill chummily told drew griffin that the misuse and miseducation of the flag has pushed it to this point. he then steered the chfgsonversation in a different direction. >> we are focusing on the wrong thing. we have to focus on the nine families that are left and see this doesn't happen again. these people sit in there and waited their turn to be shot. that's sad. and somebody in there with the means of self-defense could have stopped this and would have had less funerals. >> are you turning this into a gun debate. if nine families asked you -- >> why didn't someone just do something? i mean you have one skinny person shooting a gun, you know?

i mean we need to take and do what we. can now -- >> i want to make sure i understand what you are telling me. are you asking that these people should have tackled him, the women should have fought him? >> i don't know what the answer was but i know it's really horrible for nine people to be shot and i understand that he reloaded his gun during the process. that's upsetting. >> those nine families and every black person in south carolina and all of the people the white people who are against that flag believe it shouldn't be on the state grounds you are saying it should stay because your constituents want it to? >> it stays there until the people say it should come down. >> drew griffin with that report. u.s. democratic presidential hopeful hillary clinton is weighing in on the confederate flag debate. while campaigning in missouri she praised retailers who announced they would stop selling confederate flag merchandise. >> and she voiced support for the movement to remove the flag

from the grounds of the south carolina state capital. >> recognizing it as a symbol of our nation's racist past that has no place in our present or our future. it shouldn't fly there. it shouldn't fly anywhere. >> now we also have newly released dash cam video to show you that reveals the moment that the police arrested the alleged charleston church shooter in shelby north carolina thursday 400 kilometers from charleston. >> officials say the 21-year-old confessed to killing nine african-americans at an historic black church. roof told investigators he wanted to start a race war. allegedly inspired by a white supremacist movement. >> enas sara sidner reports the

movement may have similars to the terror group isis. >> reporter: they promise a better life purity a way to erase people who don't think like them. song and words they tell their followers to fight for what they believe in. sound familiar? ♪ ♪ aggravated assault we're coming for you ♪ >> reporter: there are similarities between white supremacist groups and isis? >> in a lot of ways they are identical. >> reporter: bob bayer was a cia operative in the middle east and he points out that the grievances of homegrown hate groups match those of terrorist groups in the middle east. >> i think at the bottom of this there's a feel of for both isis and white supremacists a feeling of injustice, whether from the south or marginalize white

people and they think they have been robbed of something. the sunnis isis they think they have been robbed with the invasion of iraq. >> reporter: a website registered in his name features a manifesto that blames black people and other minorities for the current state of america. i said the sight of the american flag and goes on to say i have no choice i am not in the position to alone go into the ghetto and fight. and online is where roof and so many other angry, dispossessed people now find an audience for their hateful views. >> whether it's isis or american domestic extremists are look for young people in their 20s, socially isolated who have a little bit of familiarity with the ideology or are own stable frustrated and angry and

susceptible to it. >> reporter: the main difference? isis is more sophisticated in its messaging, using slick videos. white supremacists not so much. but ask any expert on the subject and they'll tell you, homegrown terrorism is more dangerous to the average american than isis. take a look at this map which tracks hate groups in america. those are the numbers of hate groups in each state. and former cia operative bayer says predicting their behavior is more difficult than that of isis recruits. >> i'm more worried about domestic terrorism. most of them are fairly benign. just because you fly the rebel flag doesn't mean you will be violent. >> reporter: the danger is when the message connects with someone like dylann roof, ready, willing andable to carry it out. now the case of another american teenager this one accused of being radicalized by isis. >> the 19-year-old from north

carolina allegedly had plans to kill a thousand people. jim sciutto reports it's the latest in a series of arrests that underscore isis influence in the united states. >> reporter: he's a teenager a muslim convert from north carolina and allegedly, the latest isis recruit in the u.s. according to the criminal complaint, justin sullivan told an undercover agent he was planning to obtain a semiautomatic rifle to kill as many as a thousand people. he also threatened to use, quote, biological weapons, koegt bullets with cyanide and setting off a gas bomb. >> did you know this was going on? >> no. >> reporter: it was sullivan's father who called 911 in april after his son apparently doused the house in gasoline. >> i don't know if it's isis or what but he's -- i come home and he is destroying but das and

figure figurines and burning stuff. >> you are burning the house. >> reporter: his arrest and 30 others like it this year demonstrate isis' growing reach on the u.s. homeland. as well as a major effort by law enforcement to act quickly. >> isil has spent about a year investing in trying to reach troubled minds in the united states through social media to come to their caliphate to fight or kill where they stand. >> reporter: and there is a new fear there is concern that over time lone wolves may no longer act alone, joining together in teams increasing their ability to carry out larger scale attacks. >> you had a couple of guys who linked up and were in touch with an islamic state official in syria. so yes, it's a concern. >> thanks to jim sciutto for

that report. in syria, isis militants have blown up two ancient shrines in palmyra images were shown of explosions that reduces them to rubble. >> the syrian observatory for human rights says that isis has planted mines near the ruins but it's unclear whether they plan to destroy them. further north, tal abyad is now free of isis but the evidence of their oppression is everywhere. >> arwa damon spoke with the residents there. they are trying to rebuild their lives and it's a delicate task with all that isis left behind. >> reporter: isis may have been driven out of tal abyad for now but they remain a military force that is formidable. and during our trip to the town

we were able to see some of what they had at their disposal. this was an isis bomb-making facility. bags filled with a sticky white poudser, low-grade explosives which is highly flammable. the ypg is busy clearing it out. half a bed of a truck filled with mortar rounds. at the rear of a mosque named as al qaeda founder, osama bin laden. tal abyad is a mine field of booby-traps. come take a look through here. it's hard to see through the great but stack aid long the wall -- snaking out. this was a park where children used to play. the local ypg commander says that something did not feel right. they put a warning on the gate

and isis had booby-trapped it. >> do you see the juice thing? do you see the cable coming out of it? don't touch the door. isis no longer controls tal abyad but their terror lurks in every corner and the town is still cloaked in fear. a certain unease emanates from the adults. anger evident in their voices their answer short and sharp. this man says that isis forced him to purchase from them black clothing for his little girls. the three say they were sometimes scared. now they are just enjoying being outside without head scarves and they want to go back to school. we went for a month and then they closed it they made it a base for the state, meaning for isis. that was two years ago. now they say they are happy.

in an environment like this, one only hope it stays that way. >> that particular family had fled to tal abyad from aleppo before isis took over the town but it's when the organization arrived the girls' father could not afford to move his family anywhere else. >> thanks to arwa damon for that report. >> we have been talking all week about the heat wave in pakistan. many people don't have power or running water. but there may be some welcome relief in sight. we'll get you the latest on that after this short break. stay with us.

welcome back. a record-breaking heat wave sweeping southern pakistan has now killed at least 748 people. >> witnesses have described victims dropping dead on the streets as temperatures topped 45 degrees celsius or 113

degrees fahrenheit over the weekend. >> hospitals are struggling to treat all the heatstroke victims and morgues are completely overwhelmed, some of them running out of space for the dead. sphere yeah saffi joins us on the phone with the latest. it has been a brutal summer. the death toll jumping by hundreds in the past few days. tell us how things feel where you are and the status of the heat wave today? >> reporter: we have just left the morgue here in karachi which is the largest city in the country and the morgue was the largest morgue in the city. the number of people affected by this heat wave is overwhelming because of the fact that it co incited with ramadan which means that [ indiscernible ] they didn't have access to water and they were outside in this intense heat and like you said just dropping down on the ground

being brought into the hospital and all the hospitals across the city you have the army setting up relief camps now four days after this whole situation started. in the morgue there was an overwhelming smell of death because they are running on generators you don't have much ice there. the bodies are piled up and it's quite terrible at the moment. >> now i know we are just seeing footage of the morgues and pakistani troops who are essentially setting up emergency medical camps, handing out water and salt tablets. but four days into this does it look like enough is being done? so many people will need assistance particularly because it's ramadan there right now. >> exactly. and the problem is because the heat wave and ramadan has coincided with a water crisis.

not only do people not have access because of fasting but they were in homes with to electricity. and a lot of them their homes are very small and cramped. there is no ventilation. they still don't have any power. they still don't have any water. the main ply of water is two hours away and that is shut down. you don't have water coming to the city. there is a water shortage. people are fasting. and the temperatures are soaring, which has now culminated in this crisis. >> there is so much anger that the government has to clarify that the power outages are just that they are not deliberate power cuts to any part of the country which can happen. they are just outages but people need that power right now dying by the hundreds because of this heat wave. sophia saifi giving us the latest from karachi.

and we will have more on the heat wave and whether yeah ychkarachi will see the monsoon rains later this hour with pedram javaheri. now we want to move on and european finance officials are set to meet on greece's debt crisis. pension reform is one sticking point in bailout talks. infuriating many greek citizens. crowds took to the streets in athens tuesday demanding the government stick to its pledge to protect their pensions. >> many wonder just how much more they can take. the country must get a new deal before next week or risk default. >> for the latest we will go to linda live in athens greece. what is the latest on efforts to forge this deal with greece and possibly avoid default and how might that deal look so far?

>> reporter: we know there is an extraordinary meeting called last minute for the prime minister. mr. tsipras is going to be meeting in brussels with the heads of the ecb, the imf and the european commission. more talks are underway to try to find a solution. what we have seen is since the first proposals have become better known we have seen criticism about the kind of measures that the greek government is proposing at the moment including heavy taxation and heavy taxation on what seems to be the part of the economy that is healthy at the moment. a lot of tax raises to companies and the wealthier greeks. at the same time, the retired age -- the age of retirement is going to be raised and the protesters took to the street yesterday. we saw pensioners take to the

street yesterday to say enough is enough. we simply can't take it any more. we spoke to one man on his way to the rally. let's listen to what he had to say. >> translator: no matter what deal we have it will be the poor people who pay. the productive people as always. who else is going to pay? no matter what the deal is and who makes the proposals, whether it's the creditors or the greek government all those things will again have a strong impact on the lives of the poor people, the work people. this is the truth. >> reporter: so you see i mean this is very much the mood in athens at the moment. a lot of skepticism of what the deal would bring, what it would entail. we have not heard much about debt relief which is one of the issues that the greek government has been pushing for a long time. we're not sure if it will be a package that will bring growth to the country. until all these questions are

answered and we can see a more realistic approach it's hard to judge whether this deal could get greece out of the crisis. >> we will wait to see what comes out of that extraordinary meeting in brussels to see if they can meet, maybe a meeting of the minds on what to do. many things to elinda labropoulou reporting from greece. france's president has called an emergency meeting following allegations u.s. spied on three french presidents. more on that story when we come back. there's some facts about seaworld we'd like you to know. we don't collect killer whales from the wild. and haven't for 35 years. with the hightest standard of animal care in the world our whales are healthy. they're thriving. i wouldn't work here if they weren't. and government research shows they live just as long as whales in the wild. caring for these whales, we have a great responsibility to get that right. and we take it very seriously. because we love them. and we know you love them too.

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church. >> and i'm errol barnett. let's update you on the top stories right now. new york police say they are closing in on escaped killers, richard matt and david sweat. the former prison seamstress joyce mitchell admits smuggling in tools in frozen hamburger meat. a baltimore newspaper reports the autopsy of a mon who died in police custody shows he suffered a high energy injury. he died from a severe spinal cord injury. six police officers are facing charges ranging from illegal arrest to depraved hard murder. they all pleaded not guilty, monday. rail service through the english channel tunnel is back up after protests disrupted it.

ferry workers in france covered train tracks with rubble and burned tires reportedly over expected job losses. wikileaks says the u.s. national security agency wiretapped three french presidents over the last decade. this includes former french president jayhawks cheraq and two others. >> in a statement, a u.s. spokesperson says we are not targeting and will not target the communications of president hollande. we do not conduct foreign intelligence surveillance activities unless there is a specific and validated reason. the german prosecutors

dropped their proper this month citing insufficient evidence. u.s. officials are raising the issue of cybersecurity as they meet the chinese officials in washington this week. >> the talks are part of an annual meeting. they come at a time of decreasing trust between the two countries. >> in cyberspace we remain deeply concerned about chinese government sponsored cyberenabled theft of business information and proprietary information from u.s. companies. it falls outside the bounds of acceptable behavior in cyberspace. >> u.s. officials blame chinese hackers for breaching at least 18 million u.s. government personnel and confidential business files. >> the chinese deny the allegations. we break down how the alleged hack may have occurred.

>> reporter: cybersecurity experts think that beijing backed hackers are building a database. hackers send out e-mails. but the e-mail contains a link that takes a target to a fake page. it only takes one person to click it. and from there, hackers can track your online activity or exploit a security flaw on the server. a u.s. official believes that the attackers created fake administrator accounts to allow them to set up future insider attacks. so what exactly has been stolen? among other things officials say the hackers accessed a database storing government forms fz security cleernances. they are more than 100 pages long and used to conduct

background checks. applicants have to provide private information including their social security number financial records and medical details. and the form also asks about family members and associates which means that it's possible that the number of people compromised could still climb. why would hackers want this information? by revealing who has security clearances and at what level, the chinese may now be able to identify expose and to blackmail u.s. government officials around the world. some have suggested that the chinese relatives, friends and associates of american diplomats could be in danger. china has rejected allegations it is behind the cyberattack. two south korean citizens detained on north korea have been sentenced to hard labor for life. >> they are among four south koreans known to be debated by

their northern neighbor. >> kathy novak has been monitoring this story. and joins us live from seoul, south korea with more. severe punishments for two men who did admit they spied for the south but it's hard to know if the confessions were coerced in any way. what do we know about these two men? >> reporter: what we know is what we heard from then when cnn was given an opportunity to speak to them when the minders there presented these two men to the cnn crew on the ground and offered them up for an interview. and they did admit to these charges of spying. one is a missionary and the other is a businessman. and they had similar stories of how they say the south korean national intelligence service recruited them as spice for south korea and one of the men said he was paid half a million over nine years for his work. as you say, the nis here has

denied these claims and says there is no truth to the claims that they were spying but a court in pyongyang, according to state media there has found them guilty as charged and in the reports coming out of kcna about the trial it is said that the prosecution was calling for the death penalty but the defense counsel said they should receive a sentence of life of hard labor. many would argue that is a show trial and south korea is saying that this is a unilateral decision on the part of north korea to sentence these men without being given any opportunity to speak to south korean representatives or to their families. >> and as you look at the bigger picture, the continuing conflict between the north and the south, the isolate of north korea what are the chances that this sentence is a bargaining chip for north korea to get concessions from the south? >> well it's very difficult to

get any information at all from north korea and certainly to get into the minds of north koreans and what might be behind these kinds of decisions. north korea pulled out of international negotiations when it comes to nuclear bargaining and they certainly have no diplomatic relations with south korea. and what the unification ministry is telling us any representations that south korea have maintained have gone unanswered from north korea. there have been no communications whatsoever. if it's playing a long game perhaps in terms of a bargaining chip perhaps. but right now there is no communication and one of the men that south korea is referring to here was tried and sentenced last year on similar charges, given a similar sentence and he still, remains in that labor camp with no opportunity to speak to anyone on the south korean side and it seems no negotiations over his fate.

so it doesn't seem like very good news at all for these two men who have been given these latest sentences. >> it's so hard for anyone to know or understand what is happening in pyongyang. kathy novak live for us in seoul on this story. the united kingdom has arrested rwanda's intelligence chief on a spanish warrant that accuses him of war crimes. >> that move has angered government officials but human rights activists in spain say they welcome the arrests. michael holmes has more. >> reporter: rwanda's intelligence chief is seen here in 2001 when he was head of rwandan military operations in the democratic republic of congo. he is one of dozens of officials wanted in spain for alleged war crimes after the country's 1994

genocide. spanish aid workers are among the workers who died. amnesty international welcoming the arrest. >> pain spain starting the investigation and nothing happened until today. it is good news for the fight against impunity of this great human rights violation. we hope that this person will come to spain and will be put before the spanish court. >> foreign affairs minister tweeted, western solidarity and demeaning africans is unacceptable. it's an outrage to arrest an official based on lunacy. the arrest will bring up memories of genocide. the spy chief is currently in

custody and due back in court thursday. michael holmes, cnn. take a very short break here. but coming up here on "cnn newsroom" more on that deadly record-breaking heat wave that's hit pakistan. we're back in a moment. ♪ eenie. meenie. miney. go. more adventures await in the seven-passenger lexus gx. see your lexus dealer.
