i'm errol barnett. >> and i'm paula newton. this is "cnn newsroom." we begin this hour with anger on the streets of turkey. police fired water cannons and tear gas at protesters in the capital city istanbul. they blame the government for failing to prevent a suicide bomber earlier in the day, 31 died in the blast and 100 were wounded. we are about to show you footage of the blast. many of you will find this disturbing. but we're showing it to demonstrate the inhumanity and horror of the attack. our arwa damon as more. >> reporter: reality transforms in an instant. the suicide bomber detonates, lives immediately lost. screams and wails of survivors. some in shock, others crying out

in pain. a resident described how frantic individuals arrived pulling sheets back off corpses desperately searching for their loved ones. this was a gathering for the kobani reconstruction efforts. kobani, the town just across the border in syria where for months last fall predominantly kurdish fighters launched pitched battles against isis. eventually driving them out but leaving the town decimated. the turkish government insinuating this is the work of isis, revenge for the war that turkey is playing in the war on terror. >> translator: initial findings point to a suicide bomber in isis. but it is hard to reach a judgment before investigation is concluded. isis does not only post threat to syrian people but also turkey. >> reporter: the mood here is pretty somber and investigators

are continuing with their work well into the night, blood still staining the ground. was only a matter of time before the violence in syria spilled over across the border and this is not the first attack. but this strike in particular is raising a lot of questions, especially when it comes to how the turkish government is handling the threat posed by isis. arwa damon, turk y. british prime minister david cameron has laid out a plan to keep his country's youth from joining terror groups. >> he said more needs to be done to protect the youth from the recruiters. >> reporter: the masked militant jihadi january has become the poster child for all that is

wrong. a shy london teenager before he left for syria and became the masked murderer featured in the gruesome videos from isis. now britain's prime minister is vowing to crackdown on the extremist ideology that enables groups like isis. >> here's my message to any young person here in britain thinking of going out there. you won't be some valued member of a movement. you are cannon fodder for them. they will use you. if you're a boy, they will brainwash you, strap bombs to your body and blow you up. if you are a girl they will enslave and abuse you. >> reporter: hundreds of british men and women are believed to have joined the terror group and others like it in syria and iraq. cameron is vowing to crack down on spewers of hate and bolstering groups to speak out against isis.

in his speech he used the word disbeliever to make his point. >> this means confronting groups and organizations that may not advocate violence but which do promote other parts of the extremist narrative. if you say, yes, i condemn terror but the unbelievablers are inferior then you are part of the problem. but cameron risks alienating british muslims, many who feel targeted by british security services even as they try to distance themselves from groups like isis. and support for groups like isis is most preserve vent online where extremism is hardest to tackle. that is how so many are lured into joining isis. to those young men and women, cameron had this message. >> i know for as long as

injustice remains be it racism or islam phobia you may feel there is no place for you in britain but it's i want you to know there is a place for you and i will do everything i can to support you. >> reporter: it may take more than a prime minister speech to win hearts and minds and defeat extremism. a close friend of the gunman who killed five u.s. servicemen in tennessee says it isn't likely that mohammad youssuf abdulazeez was inspired by isis. the 24-year-old opened fire on two military buildings last week and was killed in a shootout with police. his friend james petty says that abdulazeez was very much against radicalism. >> it was a stupid group and against islam. and not to even think about going towards them. and i felt like it wasn't kind of in the sense of i'm with their group so i don't want you to do like me it's like just

that way, this is not where you should be going towards. >> you felt that he truly believed in his heart at that moment that what isis is doing was wrong? >> yes, sir. >> and that any kind of radical islamic terrorism is wrong? >> yes, sir. and he discussed that? he did. >> as memorials to the victims continue to grow, investigators haven't found any connection between abdulazeez and terror groups. they are continuing to examine writings that indicated that he was angry at the u.s. government. polls in burundi have been open for three hours. >> the incumbent is running unopposed for a third term now. now turnout has been very light and there have been sounds of gunfire since voting began.

julia steers spoke to us about the situation on the ground. >> reporter: the people here are fearful and the events overnight have added to that general sense of fear and concern about insecurity here in the capital, which has seen a violent crackdown over the last several weeks in response to demonstrations against the president's run for a third term. so turnout is expected to be relatively low in the city. the president enjoys less support here than he does in the countryside and many residents told me this week they will not vote in what opposition candidates have called a fraudulent election. others say they won't turn out due to the turmoil and concerns about possible attacks at the polls today. >> it was the incumbent's decision to run for this third term that sparked months of instability and violent in the

nation. the organization of african unity has called for the election to be postponed. outgoing fifa president sepp blatter is setting up a task force to deal with bribery and corruption allegations. sepp blatter says that his replacement will be elected on february 26s and he spoke about his role in his last few months as president. >> my duty and mission now is to defend the institution, fifa. and not to defend myself. i can defend myself. i don't need help with that. but fifa and i'm happy that today this -- the executive committee together with the confederations they have said yes president, we will help you. we take also the responsibility to go and to defend fifa. >> now we want to tell you this before he could make his announcement a british prankster

threw a stack of fake cash at blatter. he was not hurt but he left the stage for a short time. now in just over an hour the vatican is set to host a conference to touch on two important but different topics. mayors from around the world will take part in the two-day event to talk about climate change and modern day slavery. >> we want to bring in delia gallagher. and i'm glad to have you here to put this in context for us. two vastly different topics climate change and modern-day slavery. if we deal with climate change this comes after his encyclical and him saying bluntly that we have to something to save the planet. why here? why now? why the mayors from around the world? >> reporter: what is interesting and unique is they are combining these two topics. not only the first time we have

65 mayors coming to the vatican from around the world and the vatican has called this interrelated emergencies mainly for their effect on the poor. you referenced it. there was a climate change conference in april when the pope met with international leaders. then we had the encyclical devoted to climate change and human trafficking and the vatican admitted they were trying to influence the international debate. there are upcoming meetings in paris in december on climate change and they wanted to help influence that discussion. this meeting now with the mayors is coming at it from the grass roots level trying to deal with urban areas and the question of climate change and human trafficking. what the vatican says is they are asking the mayors to empower the poor. they want to help them reduce their exposure to extreme

weather conditions which is caused by economic social and environmental instability which lays a fertile ground for forced my graduation and human trafficking. that is the connection for the vatican and the reason they are combining these two issues. the mayors 60 from around the world today, they have about 10 minutes each to speak today. tomorrow they break up into workshop groups. the pope will arrive in about an hour and a half to address the conference. >> everything the pope says is followed so closely. does the vatican have a plan for how are we going to follow up and see the impact on the ground from what they're doing today? >> well i think clearly, that what they want -- what the vatican wants to do is use their prestige to get all of the mayors together. what other place other than the u.n. could you do something like this where you just bring mayors

from all around the world to a place like the vatican to work on these issues. so in terms of actually following up on policy level i don't think that's the vatican's main concern, their interest is getting the discussion rolling between the mayors and between countries so they can agree at an international level on how to best address these issues. the pope and the vatican have always been on the side of proposing the moral authority and moral imperative of action on these issues but tend not to get details into how the policies need to be laid out. that's what they want the mayors to discuss and share today. >> interesting that on both issues, advocacy groups say this is where these things have the most success. delia gallagher following the meetings for us in rome. and the cnn freedom project is dedicated to shining a light on modern-day slavery.

the latest is a documentary called "children for sale: the fight to end human trafficking". >> jada pinkett smith speaks to a young girl who was sold for sex at the age of 15. she was lured in by someone she thought was her friend. >> reporter: sasha ray was born and raised in florida. by the time she was 14 she was teased on at school. >> i was picked on for being black for having really really dark skin, i guess. >> she felt alone at home and at school. that's why when an older classmate offered friendship, she jumped at it. >> i thought she was my best friend. i could tell her anything. one day she asked if i want to skip school and have fun, you know. so we went to this barbershop.

when i was there she introduced me to these guys. >> reporter: sasha ray's new friend had just led her to the man who would eventually become her trafficker. >> we talked about how we were going to make money, how we're going to be easy. we didn't have to depend on nobody. and it was all fun and good and stuff, so i fell for it. >> was there any kind of grooming process? like when this first started? or is it just something that just happened and he was expecting you to learn on the way? >> he slowly brought it on when we got closer he used the back of the barbershop. he even had people that worked with the post office, mailmen come in. mailmen came in and paid their money to him, came back there to me. be sure to watch the cnn

freedom project documentary "children for sale" premiers wednesday night at 8:00 in london, 9:00 p.m. in berlin only here on cnn. you are watching "cnn newsroom." still to come, donald trump has made more controversial comments and some say he shouldn't be allowed to run for president. plus a world champion surfer describes what went through his mind when he was fighting off a shark attack on live tv. you don't want to miss this.

donald trump, a republican running for u.s. president is defending himself over his latest controversial comments. he said arizona senate john mccain wasn't a war hero because he was captured in vietnam. >> he has not apologized for those remarks but is trying to pivot from them, though. >> i have respect for senator mccain. i supported him and raised a lot

of money for his campaign against president obama. if there was a misunderstanding i would take that back. but hopefully i said it correctly and certainly shortly thereafter i said it correctly. i would like him, however, to do something with the 15,000 people that were in phoenix about illegal immigration. they are being decimated. these people are being decimated. this is the only thing that the both parties agree on. republicans are lark out at trump and democrats, too, and praising john mccain's war record. >> most agree, look impeachable. now brianna keilar has more on this entire controversy from washington. >> reporter: donald trump touching off a political firestorm this weekend by insulting john mccain. >> i supported him. he lost.

he let us done. he lost. i never liked him as much after that. i don't like losers. but let me get to it. he hit me -- >> he's a war hero. >> he's not a war hero. >> he's a war hero because he was captured. i like people who weren't captured. he's a war hero because he was captured. okay? and i believe perhaps he's a war hero. but right now, he said very bad things about a lot of people. >> reporter: almost immediately trump's remarks drew scrutiny. mccain, a navy pilot was shot down, held prisoner and beaten for five years in hanoi, refusing early release. still, trump has not backed down claiming in an op ed that his comments were misconstrued by the media. trying to turn his criticism of mccain to issues like the v.a.

scandal. >> he has done a terrible job for the vets. >> reporter: mccain took the high road. >> does donald trump owe you an apology? >> i don't think so. but he mayo owe an apology to the families of those who have sacrificed in conflict and those who have undergone the prison experience in serving their country. >> reporter: but trump's republican opponents jumped on the chance to denounce his comments jeb bush. >> this is a legitimate hero that has served his country in lots of ways. and mr. trump knows that. he should just apologize. that would move it on to the next thing. next week there will be another one. >> reporter: marco rubio. >> it's offensive and ridiculous and i think it's a disqualifier. >> reporter: and lindsey graham who was joined by mccain at an event in new york this afternoon. >> anybody who suggests that

john and his fellow p.o.w.s are somehow lacking in the title of being called american hero you shouldn't be our commander-in-chief. you don't know our military. >> reporter: ted cruz who stands to benefit if trump is out of the race would not take a position. >> i recognize that folks in the press love to see republican on republican violence. you want me to say something bad about donald trump or bad about john mccain or anyone else. i'm not going to do it. >> reporter: in a new poll donald trump is now leading the crowded field nationally with 24 points. it's almost twice the support of any other republican. but take note. the poll was conducted before and after trump made these comments and there was a sharp dip on the night following his remarks. brianna keilar cnn, washington. in china, a top aide to former chinese president hu

jintao is facing prosecution over alleged corruption. authorities arrested ling jihua. it comes amid xi jinping's crackdown on corruption. >> ivan watson joins us now live from beijing more with the accusations against ling and the anti-corruption sweep looks set to claim another victim here. what is mr. ling accused of doing? >> reporter: well he is accused of trying to seek personal gain of accepting huge bribes of violating communist party principles and rules, trying to seek betters for his wife's businesses, and i guess simultaneously, quote, committing adultery with a number of women and trading power for sex. and it seems like he is just the latest in a series of what have been described as tigers

former -- some of the people at the top of the government pyramid here in china now brought down by president xi jinping's anti-corruption crusade. and this man is notable because he held the post that was the equivalent to being the chief of staff for xi jinping's predecessor, president hu jintao. >> and who two other high ranking officials have been imprisoned recently on corruption charges. it's not typical that someone will be suspected of something as serious as this and then found innocent. talk about this political backdrop to these officials being taken down for corruption. >> reporter: that's right. it was just last month than the man who was in charge of internal security in all of china a man by -- the name

of -- apologies there. he was sentenced to life in prison. there have been army generals and almost on a weekly basis now you get reports of perhaps a provincial official who is embroiled in this anti-corruption crusade. analysts say there are a number of possible motives here. let talk to one who is a brother of one of our colleagues. take a listen. >> there are high level cases which are certainly political. are they -- is he clearing out because they are political rivals? i think that's not entirely the case. xi jinping has an important job, which is he needs to reassert central control over the party which seems to have flipped under his predecessor, hu jintao. it's not a political witch hunt in the crude sense of that

notion but certainly it's a highly political campaign. >> reporter: now in the case of ling jihua, as we described, a former chief of staff, he gained notoriety when his son smashed his ferrari driving through beijing in 2012 killing himself and severely injuring two women. and then reports of this were basically scrubbed out of the internet. there were reports that the word ferrari couldn't come up in social networking in china for a while after the accident took place andc s star began to fade here. his wife who he has been accused of trying to help financially, his wife was running a non-governmental organization called youth business china. she was a founder of it and it

had offices across the country. we called two of the offices, errol and they have both been suspended or closed. so there is the suggestion that she, too, as well may be one of the casualties of this anti-corruption sweep. >> and you get a sense that this crackdown continues very serious charges there. long-time viewers would have figured out that is ben wiedemann's brother there, providing us his insight. great to see you joining us from beijing. if you are one of these sites that helps you cheat on your marriage you think sooner or later someone would catch up with you. but i bet you didn't expect it to be hackers. we'll explain when we get back.

and welcome back. thank you for joining us. you are watching "cnn newsroom." i'm paula newton. >> i'm errol barnett. here are the top headlines this hour. police in qstanbul turkey clashed with protesters who say that the government didn't do enough to stop a suicide bomb earlier in the day. that attack killed 31 people. the turkish prime minister suggests that isis is to blame. gunfire is making burundi's election, the incumbent's decision to run sparked instability in the country. a prankster threw a stack of fake cash at sepp blatter.

he was announcing a task force to deal with the corruption and bribery allegations involving fifa officials. he says a special election will be held on february 26th to pick his replacement. some people know all about this. but if you have not heard about this before there is a website that helps you cheat. that's as -- helps you cheat on your marriage. plain. >> that's what it is. >> tens of millions of people have been threatened by a security breach at the website ashley madison. >> its mission is to let people hook up outside of their marriages. hackers say they stole the site's user data and tens of millions of members are at risk of being exposed. randy kaye has more. >> don't wait up. >> reporter: if you've ever used this website to hook up you might have some explaining to

do. >> office romance too risky? you should have used ashleymadison.com. >> the website helps arrange sex partners so married people can cheat. and now those cheaters have been exposed. a hacking group calling itself the impact team says it stole personal information, including names of 37 million ashley madison subscribers. and for about an hour and a half, several thousand people were viewable online. >> i'm not going to be home for dinner. >> reporter: ashley madison's slogan is life is short, have an affair. so just imagine what personal information the clients may have shared. sexual preferences, fantasies, fetishes all from people looking for sex who never dreamed that the data could get in the hands of a hacker. >> this is an example of what type of naiveness there is in the market around personal data.

setting yourself up for blackmail and public humiliation. >> avid life media released a statement promising it has once again secured the site. the company says they removed personally identifiable information about users published online. the hackers may be trying to punish the website which they say charges users a $19 fee to delete personal information that is not deleted. users almost always pay with credit cards so the purchase details are not removed as promised. they netted $1.7 million in revenue in 2014 just from the charges to delete data. the group is threatening to release secret sexual fantasies and real names unless the site

is taken down permanently. it calls the users cheating dirt bags and warns a significant percentage of the population is about to have a very bad day, including many rich and powerful people. randy kaye, cnn, new york. alex what makes the attack different is a moral motivation behind it right? this is a website that helps men cheat on their wives. what do you make of the moral angle of this hack? >> well you know it's repugnant but when target is hacked no one says it is a moral outrage. but this is a different kettle of bins and given the potential to destroy marriages and families people are more nervous. we have a couple of friends who are terrified that they are not one of them. >> what do you think this means for ashley madison itself.

they said they removed any information that was public. but privacy is what the clients of the website really wanted. do you think that the business model is busted? >> absolutely. once you break this bond of trust people will not come to the site or pay you. you promise them anonymity and you broke the trust. who would go join the site right now? it is going to kill growth and slow payment and i think people will go to other sites. people are going to cheat on their spouse. that's a fact. >> but considering all of that you wonder the motivation behind this hack. alm the company behind this site and cougar life and established men, but they were making money from all these sites. the timing seems purposeful too. >> part of the beef that the hackers had was a $19 fee to

have people remove their data and turned out according to the hackers they were not removing the data. people were paying to have their name taken off the service and they weren't doing it. it was a shakedown of some variety. but they do take a lot of money. and that gravy train is officially over. >> the group is called the impact team. we were circling back to that first point about the moral ground they are standing on. exposing that delete fee. but who is the impact group? >> i don't know. it's a group of people who are technically skilled. they broke in and took a bunch of stuff. they are obvious talented. but they have not said i'm bill jane, jackie janet, whatever. but that's not abnormal. anonymous is one of the most prolific group but they are

anonymous right now. >> i think you said anonymish. >> i did. >> i'm not married yet but i'm going to hold on to that one for a while. >> thanks for your time today alex. >> absolutely. you are wise beyond your years, errol. >> there you go. we're following breaking news for you out of japan, a huge shakeup at toshiba over an accounting scandal. we're live with the details next. ohh!! (gasps) agh!! diamonds! yeah. mmmm! 5 swirled diamonds, new in lucky charms! prep trauma unit 5. what've we got? bp 64/40 sterilize sites. multiple foreign objects in the body. tweezers. (buzz!)

(buzz!) if you're the guy from the operation game, you get operated on. it's what you do. (buzz!) if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance you switch to geico. it's what you do.

breaking news at cnn. a major shakeup in the electronics world. toshiba's ceo has resigned over inflated company earnings to the tune of more than a billion dollars. for more on this story, angie stevens is with us in hong kong.

this is extraordinary. this investigation carried out by a former prosecutor i'm reading here that they found systemic violations that these managers wanted these inflated profits and this came all at the expense of the shareholders. >> reporter: basically what happened here paula is that after 2008 the global financial crisis, there came in the company a culture from the top down which pushed managers to inflate their profits and keep the numbers high. it's not just one person who quit. three men all on the screen there have now all quit. in the middle of that is the current ceo tanaka. the man on the left is sasaki who is the former ceo and the man on the right is a another former ceo. all three of those have now quit after this investigation, as you say by a former tokyo

prosecutor. what that investigation found was that systemic inflating of profits. $1.2 billion over seven years. that is a massive amount and it all stemmed from a corporate culture. this is what the prosecutor actually said about the culture at toshiba. and i have a direct quote here. there exists a corporate culture where it was impossible to go against the bosses' will. they postponed loss reports or moved certain costs into later years. so the picture here, paula is that toshiba executives wanted to keep the numbers artificially high when business was difficult. the culture said no one could go against that. big resignations have resulted. interesting to see how the fallout continues from here. >> obviously in japan with the corporate culture this is a humiliation for this country

that means so much to japan. how are investors reacting to all of this? >> you might think there would be a massive selloff after that sort of news hits the share market and the broader public. but in fact the company popped up today, paula. what happened is that the investigation was first announced back in may. and that is what spooked investors initially. they didn't know what was going to come out. the stock was down 24 25% from that high back in may. investors got out waiting for this report. the report has come out and as you see the stock has gone up 6% basically because investors were expecting it could have been worse. the bad news is now out and maybe toshiba can get on with the process of making money. having a look at what the inflating divisions, which divisions were accounting for the inflated profit a lot came

from infrastructure particularly nuclear power and the pc side of toshiba and the other from semiconductors. but certainly there has to be a massive change in corporate culture and personnel to get the company back on track. it could takeeñnjñ some time. >> andrew stevens live from hong kong, we appreciate the update. french president francois hollande is hosting a climate conference in paris this morning. international representatives arrived earlier today for the two-day summit. the gathering of about 40 foreign ministers from around the world is a precursor to the kop-21 summit in paris in december. he wants a simple accord that won't require complex renegotiations every few years. of course that's easier said than done. our meteorologist ivan cabrera is here for a closer look to

give us an insight into climate change. it's difficult when we have these individual weather events to say is this climate change? >> nasa this past monday noaa in the united states released information that june of this year is the warmest june ever since we have been keeping records. and january through this june has been the warmest period. this gets worse here as we talk about the temperatures going up. 10 now, of our warmest years on record have occurred since the year 2000 here. and last year was the warmest year on record. i think we're on track for this year to do the same because not only are temperatures already above normal and we've had this period since january that we have been above normal but what also is contributing is el nino that is a warming of the

equatorial pacific waters and that will bump up the temperatures. alaska, sixth warmest june on record. record heat in the western u.s. the incredible and deadly heat wave in pakistan. sixth warmest june in spain and in australia as well. the fifth warmest june so far. and the communique basically saying the same thing, we need to reduce greenhouse emissions over the next several decades here and we need to do it in a quick fashion. peak emissions by 2030 and aim for 20% clean energy. this is ahead of the conference that is coming up in november. look at the u.s. cutting 26 to 28%, that is the goal by 2025. and the communique very lofty today essentially saying that we need to cut emissions to zerolyzero by the end of this century.

if we don't, we're going to be in big trouble. these numbers are going in the wrong direction. >> much more. >> we need more action. >> thanks very much. now he fought off a shark attack and now mick fanning is talking about that encounter. what went through his mind? will he ever surf again? answers after the break.

you got to know who this guy is by now, champion surfer mick fanning is home after a shark attack that captured the world's attention. he said the true impact didn't hit him until after he spoke to his family and friends. >> to walk away from you know a shark attack with not a scratch on you, it's like -- it's a miracle, really. you know i spoke to different people. i had dinner with a guy who had been attacked three times. you don't know. you count your lucky stars and if there is someone up there looking after us, thanks. >> this all unfolded on live

television during a competition in south africa. the encounter has brought perspective to the surfing community. >> reporter: australian surfer mick fanning is now world famous for this video, fighting off a shark during a competition in south africa over the weekend. the 34-year-old is known as one of surfing's greats. more than 12 years as a pro, currently ranked number two on the championship tour and a previous three-time world champion. only two other male surfers have won more titles. one is kelly slater. he shared a hug with fanning on sunday saying their competition pales in comparison to fanning's close call. >> we have had a lot of great situations. it's surfing but we have a good friendship. that's what flashes on your mind. not a competitor or something

like that but it brings everything back to earth. >> reporter: fanning has battled back from injury and personal tragedy. his older brother was killed in a car crash when fanning was a teenager. but fanning has always returned to surfing and says this shark attack won't change that. >> surfing, you know when everything's -- you know it doesn't matter if you are up or down, it gives you a sense of balance for me anyway. it's one of those places if i'm didn't get a job or i -- i would always do it. and i still will. just might be a little bit more cautious. >> i think more likely to be hit by lightning than killed by a shark but that's scary. >> terrifying. >> i'm errol barnett. >> i'm paula newton. stay with us "early start" is next in the united states.
