1:07 am
ramadan. police flooding to the market to buy ice, a bit of relief from the heat and in one large bringing it selling it belong the -- below the marketing rate. as soon as the crowds gathered around that device detonates, 120 dead. it's worth pausing for a moment to think about how many lives who are no longer here or affected by the deep trauma of loss particularly now during this religious holiday for the islamic faith. 140 people injured. 13 children dead 14 women dead. a staggering toll. mostly shia. this is isis sunni radicals those they oppose in the war there, the death toll and tactic reminiscent of the darker days

a rally there regarding the confederate flag. saturday's demonstration got heated and violent. >> reporter: fighting, flames, and a heavy law enforcement presence on the statehouse grounds as thousands of people gathered to witness the ku klux klan rally against the state's decision to remove the confederate flag. >> we will delete your history in america! >> reporter: what started as a peaceful protest quickly escalated. >> i need you to back up please. >> reporter: as tensions between protesters and counterprotesters grew. at one point people in the crowd were ripping up a confederate flag, while others engaged in intense debate which ultimately led to at least five arrests. >> they threw a rock and hit him and then they ran.
1:21 am
>> reporter: law enforcement responded to each quickly and escorted the ku klux klan an hour early. lawmakers as you remember voted to remove that flag long associated with racial hate groups after a racially motivated mass murder at an african-american church in charleston south carolina just last month. tempers flared during anti immigration rallies in australia. police arrested five people in sydney today, a day after violent clashes broke out in melbourne. officers were set to arrest protesters. buckingham palace is angryily

condemning a tabloid. >> the paper has stirred up controversy for a picture featuring six-year-old queen elizabeth giving a nazi salute. the headline their royal heilnesss. it was quickly condemned. >> it is disappointing that film shot eight decades ago and apparently from her ma jess at this's personal family archive has been obtained and exploited in this manner. the still images were taken from a short black and white film in 1933 when adolph hitler was rising to power in germany.
1:23 am
the video posted on line shows edward who the paper describes as nazi sympathizing apparently encouraging them to do the nazi salute before joining them. the story is called sensationalist. >> it shows people frolicking around on the lawn and unfortunately the son decided to freeze the frame to make it look as bad as possible and turning it into a big controversy. the whole thing is very pointless and unfair. >> "the sun" responded to the story. these images have lane hidden for 82 years. we published them today knowing they do not reflect badly on our queen, her late sister or mother in any way. they do however, provide a
1:24 am
fascinating insight into the warped prejudices of edward 8:00 -- viii. >> the queen and her service to the nation during world war ii and 62 years of her reign she has spent building relations between nations and people's speaks for itself. it far outweighs the stunts of a tabloid. north koreans are lining up at the polls as that country holds its first local elections under leader kim jung had un. >> democracy in north korea is a little different to say the least. polling day is usually a chance to choose leaders and this weekend people will be lining up to cast their ballot but there will be no choice involved. candidates for positions on
1:25 am
provincial and county and people's assemblies have already been chosen by the central government. voters will be handed ballot players which they will dutifully drop in a box. no dangers of hanging chads there. elections in north korea are used as an unofficial census, an opportunity to make sure all citizens are where they are supposed to be. one defector told me the most important part of election day is showing up. skipping the chance to voice one's approval for the administration is considered a crime tantamount to treesen. those already in prison don't vote and some leeway is given to people in the emergency room or those working overseas but apart from that turnout is generally
1:26 am
reported on state media to be just shy of 100% with about 100% of the votes cast in favor of the preselected candidates and who are they? unlike the elections last year for positions on the supreme people's assembly, this vote is for local deputies. they may get together to discuss their areas economic and administrative issues but really the power remains in pyongyang. observers will be watching to see any hints about the people kim jung un is promoting. will there be generational change in this election? as with everything in north korea, that is up to kim jung un. he's casting a ballot too. the difference is actually does have a choice. kathy novak, cnn seoul. you just wonder who will win that election?

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. you are watching cnn "newsroom." good to have you with us. i'm george howell the headlines this hour a fifth u.s. service member has died after a shooting in the u.s. state of tennessee.
1:31 am
u.s. navy petty officer randall smith was wounded on thursday when a gunman stormed a reserve center. he died saturday during to his injuries. according to his grandmother, he was shot in the liver, colon and stomach. at least 120 people have died from friday's suicide attack in an iraqi town here baghdad. the death toll still expected to rise from that attack. police say the bomber lured people to an ice truck and detonated it at a market. it happened a day for the end of the muslim holiday, ramadan. isis is claiming responsibility. saudi arabia says it arrested more than 400 people suspected of belonging to isis cells. authorities say some of the suspects were behind several attacks on mosques and other sites. dozens of security forces and civilians were killed during the arrest operations. iranian president rouhani says the deal over the nuclear
1:32 am
program will lead to closer relations with neighboring nations. many of iran's arab neighbors have been concerned about their nuclear plans. people in chattanooga are still in disbelief after a gub gunman killed five u.s. military members. >> they stabbed me in the heart. anyone they touch in the united states it hurts, it hurts bad. i've lost people through different wars and that's all i can think about is what happened to them. why they died? why we have our freedoms? you know and these boys died for the same thing. >> we are hearing from the parents of the gunman who released this statement offering their sympathies to see victims saying the following, there are no words to describe our shock, horror and grief. the person who committed this horrible crime was not the son we knew and loved. jordanian sources say he had
1:33 am
been in jordan as recently as 2014 but so far the fbi says there's nothing to connect him to isis or international terror groups. our senior national correspondent nick peyton walsh spoke with this. >> one thing we do know is the multiple trips he made to jordan. one key person he met in 2014 was his uncle here. we don't know his whereabouts and we don't know who else the tennessee shooter may have met when he was hooer during this trip. investigators say both jordanian and american counters with will be frantically trying to work out who he met with here. jordan is not a hot bed of radicalism. there have been flourishes of activity, but this is a society
1:34 am
where there was opposed to isis. did he use jordan as a transit point? did he head east toward iraq where there is isis and even al qaeda still in large numbers? or did he use jordan as an air transit point to head somewhere else in the middle east? there's been talk about yemen perhaps. did he like other people who attack the west get some kind of training here? all of this will focus in the minds of the investigators right now. they will be looking to construct a narrative of people of things necessarily he may have encountered here which may have changed his mind may have pushed him in that more radical direction to carry out those brutal shootings in tennessee. he did emerge from his trip in 2014 as a devout muslim but then was he caught drinking and driving in april of this year.
1:35 am
it does seem investigators are looking at the multiple trips he made to the middle east here to work out if they were involved in pushing him toward that brutal crime. now turning to u.s. presidential candidate donald trump. he has ignited yet another firestorm after his controversial remarks on senator john mccain. at a campaign event in iowa saturday he slammed mccain as a status hero. >> he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people that weren't captured i hate to tell you. he's a war hero because he was captured. okay. >> you heard it there. back in 2008 trump actually supported senator mccain's bid for the presidency. listen. >> have you formally enforced the ticket? >> no but i'm endorsing campaign. i am basically -- i have to say,
1:36 am
i've known him, i like him, i respect him, he's a smart guy and i think he's going to be a great president. >> so you are endorsing him? >> sure. i'll endorse him on your show. why not. >> you just endorsed him? >> i endorsed him. >> trump quickly back tracked on his initial comments on saturday and had a much softer tone later when speaking of mccain. listen. >> if a person is captured they are a hero as far as i'm concern, unless it there are a trader like bergdahl he was captured. efs no hero. i don't like the job that john mccain is doing in the senate he's not taking care of our veterans. he should know better than anybody about treating the veterans well. >> mccain was repeatedly tortured during more than five years as a prisoner in vietnam. several u.s. politicians have jumped to his defense. secretary of state john kerry saying the following, if anyone
1:37 am
doesn't know if john mccain is a war hero it only proves they know nothing about war and even less about heroism. firefighters in the u.s. state of california are facing new obstacles as they fight fires in their state. they are dealing with people flying drones over the fires in hopes of capturing new images. we report on how these drones are hampering the fire effort. >> reporter: san bernard dean doe county spokesperson told me at one point that helicopters had to be grounded 15 to 20 minutes as five drones were flying over the fire on interstate 15. they said the drones were up above, the choppers could not drop water. the fear was the drones would get dangled up in the helicopter and injuring and hurting crew members. fire officials are becoming increasingly frustrated with
1:38 am
these drones. the u.s. forest saying people flying hobby drones have no business doing that over fires. they urge everyone to stop flying the drones. they pointed out as they five drones flew above the fire saying it was a critical time for them. they could not do so again for 20 minutes. so you heard his report. let's turn to our meteorologist derek van damme at the world weather center. these drones i've while fires -- >> you would think it would be common sense. they are actually breaking the law. they put in temporary restrictions for flying recreational drones especially over the north fire where the gentleman was reporting from. this is the campaign from the u.s. service, if you fly, we can't, meaning we can't actually
1:39 am

1:40 am
desert gales, scoring southern -- scorching southern california's drought stricken regions. we have rainfall in the forecast which can be for the firefighting efforts, if the rain evaporates before it reaches the ground and we have lightning associated with these storms moving through that can only mean more potential for wild fires and brush fires. this is southern california and you can see the shower and thunderstorm activity we're anticipating going forward over the next 24 hours. i've seen plenty of tweets of people just being so excited to finally get some rain. remember this is a very very drought stricken state. extreme drought conditions taking place at the moment and we have around 2 to 3 inches of rainfall possible. that's why the national weather service has issued what is flood watches for nevada and california and arizona. unfortunately, too much too quickly take a look at this visual coming out of arizona, they had significant flooding out of that region cause thing

welcome back to cnn "newsroom." i'm george howell. american dustin johnson is at the top of the leaderboard at
1:53 am
the british open after another day of wild weather delays. the tournaments final round has been push back to monday after gusty conditions forced players off the golf course for more than ten hours on saturday. our alex thomas has the latest from st. andrews. >> a picturesque, serene end to the british open championship it would be chaos from winds that forced a suspension of play and angry players having to get started and stop play finally resume at 6:00 evening time and he was at the top of the leader board. >> absolutely. this was a very strange day and there was no play and they say that a shepherd's delight is a red sky at night. that's what we have to look forward to tomorrow hopefully
1:54 am
more serene weather because it's very serene right now, very calm but it was blowing a gale today and there was no way they could play golf with all the movement on the greens of the balls, and it caused havoc here at the home of golf but if you believe in the spirituality of the game and certainly here at st. andrews, we can only get a marvelous conclusion to this and this is part of it. dustin johnson does well, but he's only halfway there and there are other players as well who have really kind of taken to this challenge and they want to do well here and they want to win at the home of golf so it's only 36 holes done 36 more to go and i think we're going to get a fantastic conclusion. >> organizers received some criticism for the way they handled what happened on the third day, however, we are now in a situation where the open is going to finish on a sunday for only the second time in its 155 year history. johnson is leading and the last
1:55 am
five opens at st. andrews, the leader after the halfway mark has gone on to win. >> hopefully that will happen for dustin johnson. he's learned so many lessons. he's not someone who digs deep and thinks about the game. he's a guy who has explosive talent. when we talk about the likes of jack nicklaus winning two of threes open championships here at the home of golf he also had a wonderful short game as does dustin johnson. think you think of tiger woods, two of his wins came here. it's dustin's to lose but there are so many wonderful players just behind him and it's far from over. >> it will be a day later than planned, but we still got two
1:56 am
