10:10 pm
september 11th attacks. >> consider this the group found nearly twice as many people have been killed by white supremacist, anti-government fanatics and nonmuslim extremists. they found 48 have been killed by extremists who were not muslim compared to 26 killed by self proclaimed jihadists. u.s. president barack obama is ordering some major changes in american hostage policy. families can now pay ransoms to hostage takers without fear of criminal prosecution. >> this is as white house advisers make a stunning revelation about how many americans are still being held overseas. michelle kosinski has more on that. >> reporter: the numbers we haven't heard before and the president said more than 80 americans since september 11th have been held hostage overseas. more than half of them have returned home. then his adviser on counterterrorism said that currently 30 americans are held.
10:11 pm
the president's national security team said than clouds people held by cartel s and criminal gangs but couldn't elaborate for security reasons. the white house made a number of changes to its hostage policy mostly in the way the system works to make it more efficient, more integrated to share more information with families. but most strikingly they made clear that the u.s. now will not prosecute families for paying ransoms to terrorists even though it is illegal and even though u.s. government policy states the opposite and that has not changed. here's the president. >> i firmly believe the united states government paying ransom to terrorists risks endangering more americans and funding the terrorism we are trying to stop. so i firmly believe that our policy ultimately puts fewer americans at risk. >> that raises a lot of questions. by now allowing families to pay ransoms, doesn't that put american lives at risk?
10:12 pm
doesn't it perpetuate the problem you are trying to stop plus send a message that ransoms might work. the white house answered like this. they said there's no doubt that ransoms fuel terrorism, but at the same time we're going to stand by the families and help them. lisa monaco said in the past we did not do right by these families something the president said he found totally unacceptable. >> that is michelle kosinski reporting there. france is fuming following new spying allegations from wikileaks wikileaks. >> it indicated the nsa eavesdropped on president hollande. his two predecessor and other top french officials. it said the spying went on from at least 2006 all the way to 2012. u.s. secretary of state john kerry said he is quote absolutely guarantees the u.s. is not watching and spying on france's president. >> meanwhile, mr. hollande
10:13 pm
gathered his defense council and summoned the u.s. ambassador to explain the report and it's clear the french are miffed over these allegations. >> translator: i summoned the ambassador to convey firstly that this was unacceptable. secondly that we wanted to know if those practices ceased and whether they apply to the president only or whether they were done on a larger scale. although we understand there could be wiretapping when it comes to terrorists has nothing in common with the spying of leaders, friends and allies and i ask the ambassador to quickly bring us answers. >> interestingly, france's parliament gave the final approval to a controversial surveillance law of its own that would give french intelligence the right to collect data from phones and the internet without a warrant. france's highest court has to okay and approve it before it

boston strong america strong. by choosing to mess with us was a terrible mistake. how's that for a victim impact statement? dzhokhar tsarnaev did offer an apology to the victims' families saying he was sorry for the lives he had taken, the suffering he caused and the damage done. he also did confess saying the bombing, which i'm guilty of if there is any lingering doubt, i did do it along with my brother. but for several family members and for officials here it was too little too late. the u.s. attorney carmen ortiz saying what dzhokhar tsarnaev did not say, he did not renounce terror or violent extremism. >> after the sentencing, survivors of the boston bombing reacted to tsarnaev's apology. lynn julian said his words lacked sincerity. >> i regret having ever wanted to hear him speak because what he said showed no remorse, no regret and no empathy for what
10:16 pm
he's done to our lives. >> but another survivor had a different reaction. 23-year-old henry said he is happy with the apology and forgives tsarnaev. the death toll from the devastating heat wave in pakistan continues to climb and the country's resources, they are struggling to keep up with people's needs. plus, signals from the ayatollah and now doubt about the ten native agreement on iran's nuclear program. that's coming up. bring us your aching... and sleep deprived. bring us those who want to feel well rested and ready to enjoy the morning ahead. aleve pm. the first to combine a safe sleep aid... plus the 12 hour pain relieving strength of aleve. for pain relief that can last until the am. so you... you... and you can be a morning person again.

welcome back, everyone. media in pakistan are now reporting more than 1,000 people have died in the country's brutal record-breaking heat wave. >> nearly all of those deaths happened in karachi which is the country's most populous city. cnn correspondent warns the death toll will likely continue to rise. >> i have been cover canning this region for more than a decade out in the desert. if it feels hot in the city you can only imagine how hot it is there. they do not have access to water and electricity. and also they are saying there are a lot of private hospitals in pakistan. there aren't really enough government hospitals.
10:21 pm
there are private hospitals and so figures may not have been collected from those either. i'm sure the death toll will continue to rise. earlier in the day, she visited a hospital. the report contains scenes that are disturbing. >> reporter: even as we approach the morgue the stench of death surrounded us. corpses covered in flies, left out in the heat. a charity runs in morgue. but it is struggling to provide the service. daily power outages mean the cold room can't be kept cold. i want to take you in to show you the extent of the problem. there's a putrid, pungent smell.
10:22 pm
bodies upon bodies piled high. 650 people have been brought here in just a few days. i really couldn't stay inside there any longer. that's supposed to be a cold storage unit in a morgue. it's hot, and sticky in here. it seems like even the dead aren't being given the dignity they deserve. lengthy power cuts plague the living and the dead. one of the major hospitals has treated up to 8,000 people since saturday's soaring temperatures struck. the unforgiving heat has spared no one. young children and the elderly the most vulnerable. i felt so hot i was vomiting says this old man. i felt weak and my heart sank. my son had a high temperature,
10:23 pm
and then he had a fit. this woman says. i asked if she has water and electricity in her home. nothing, we have none of those things she says. and the hospital they turned to for help is overwhelmed. these doctors and nurses tell me the government-run hospital has been relying on volunteers and donors. even the beds have been donated to us they say. people are bringing us water, ice and even medicines. their frustration was palpable. >>. just one week to go before the self-imposed deadline for a nuclear deal with iran is finalized there are new doubts about teheran's willingness to cooperate. iran's supreme leader came out oposing key elements of a
10:24 pm
tentative agreement. >> reporter: no one person can deliver a deal between iran and the west but supreme leader does have the power to derail it. he has already publicly expressed rejections and now with days left before the june 30th target date for an agreement he is sending out more strong signals. in a nationally televised speech, he rejected central elements of the agreement the west wants. most notably one key, careful tradeoff. iran would have to scale back its nuclear program before sanctions are lifted. the lifting of sanctions must not be contingent on the imply implementations. they should not say that you should fulfill your commitments and the international atomic energy agency should then verify
10:25 pm
it in order for the sanctions to be lifted. we do not accept this issue at all. the thinking in western capitals has been exactly the opposite. >> we cannot compromise on the absolute red lines that we have. if we do a deal it's got to be verifiable. >> reporter: there are other key issues. how long will iran's program be restrained by an agreement? the west wants assurances it will last a decade. the ayatollah calls it unacceptable. the negotiations have been held up by disagreements in fe past and previous deadlines have come and gone. that could happen again. >> we are focused on getting the right deal and the right deal is more important than the deadline. >> the ayatollah's remarks are adding to the pressure and moving the deadline won't help if iran's supreme leader won't accept the terms of the agreement. jonathan mann cnn. bobbi kristina brown, the daughter of late singer whitney houston has been moved to hospice care.
10:26 pm
her family said she's in god's hands now. >> her father bobby brown was seen wednesday outside of an atlanta area hospice facility seen her. 22-year-old bobbi kristina has been in a medically induced coma since found unresponsive in a bathtub at her home in january. police finished the criminal investigation in to her near drowning. no charges have been filed. the clock is ticking for greece as another meeting on the country's debt crisis comes to an end without a deal. from propaganda videos to spongebob squarepants we go in to a south korean school help ing north korean children transition to life outside of the oppressive country.

you are watching cnn newsroom. thanks so much for staying with us. i'm errol barnett. >> i'm zain asher. let's give you your headlines. a new york prison guard is facing charges in connection with the escape of two inmates. gene palmer is accused of taking frozen meat with tools inside to the inmate's cell area. his attorney said he was unaware the tools were hidden in the meat. >> record breaking heat wave has surpassed 1,000. hospitals and morgues are filled beyond capacity and the electricity grid is struggling to keep up with demand resulting in frequent outages. south korean ministry of health confirms one new case of mers. that brings the total number of those infected to 180. the virus has also killed two
10:31 pm
more people. the death toll stands at 29. officials say so far seven people have recovered from mers. let's shift our focus at this moment to the geek debt crisis. eurozone finance ministers will pick up negotiations in the coming hours after talks with greece on wednesday ended with not a single sign of a deal. >> they are trying to reach an agreement that would secure more bailout funds for greece and avoid a default. without a deal, greece risks missing the deadline to maj a payment to the international monetary fund. for the latest i want to go to my colleague who's joining us live from athens. elinda alexis tsipras is in a tough position. how does he balance the promises he made to voters with the demands of the creditors? >> it remains to be seen whether he will be able to. at the moment he seems to be
10:32 pm
original red lines in what he promised in his preelection campaign. as the talks in prusles continue what we do hear is he is forced to make some tough decisions. so much so that actually he said he's not sure the creditors want a deal. within greece there's a lot of confusion and criticism perhaps of the creditors potion possession simply because the greek government was led to understand that on monday there was a proposal that was a good basis for negotiation. it seems to be the case that yesterday this all changed and greece is being pushed to make more concessions. >> now with time running ou and talks really starting early again in brussels today, it remains to be seen whether greece will give way or not. >> elinda she has been focus on tax hike and said there will be
10:33 pm
no further reductions in pensions or public sector wages. is he going to have to rethink that for there to be a deal? >> it looks like he will have to rethink that. i think what is finding a compromise solution is something that alexis tsipras can bring to greece and sell to the greek public. one issue at the core of all of this is the whole idea of debt sustainability and relief. so far, although there was some signs from the imf that it is willing to discuss the idea that for greece we have seen that europe is not prepared to give way. i think in the next round of negotiations what we see today and possibly in the days ahead because it is not clear how long the talks will take before we reach that end of the month deadline. this will be the one issue that will be defining determining
10:34 pm
factor to how this will play out, both within greece and internationally. >> elinda, greece as a massive problem with tax evasion. how long until that is addressed? >> well according to what we have been hearing, this is something that's already being addressed up to a point. it is obviously something that is not tangible very difficult to do something about tax evasion as such. it is something all governments during this crisis have tried to address. so far none of them have successfully done so. so there's a lot of pressure from the creditors for greece to really move to doing something in that direction. basically not just focusing on tax hikes but really focusing on how to deal with greece's chronic problems and tax evasion is among them. it's one of the biggest problems that greece has been facing for a very long time. >> the last thing anyone wants is for greece to default or exit
10:35 pm

10:39 pm
