only tell you that personally, i was involved in this case from the very beginning. and personally, believe that kevin cooper should die. as u.s. president barack obama arrives in ethiopia the region receives a sobering reminder about the security problems it faces. plus the daughter of singing star wit!hitney houston has died. and donald trump shows no signs of falling in the polling. welcome to all of you in the
11:01 pm
u.s. and those from all around the world. this is "cnn newsroom".." now we begin this hour in somalia. that's where alsha shabab carried out a deadly attack on sunday at this upscale hotel by ramming a vehicle with explosives into the gate. the hotel is home to the diplomatic missions of several nations, including that of china. the attack took place while u.s. president obama was visiting somalia's western neighbor kenya. while there, he gave a spirited speech that included a pledge of support from the u.s. in kenya's fight against extremists like al that shabaab. take a listen. >> year' going to stand shoulder to shoulder with you in this fight against terrorism for as long as it takes.
11:02 pm
[ applause ] but as i mentioned yesterday, it is important to remember that violent extremists want us to turn against one another. >> now at this moment. mr. obama is in ethiopia for the final stop of his tour of the african continent. he's just he's scheduled, in fact, in a few hours to deliver a statement with the prime minister there. the two men are expected to talk about efforts to kpat extremism. >> reporter: al shabab militants wait to ambush a convoy in southern somalia. the attack went largely unnoticed until their gruesome terror video appeared online. the al qaeda-linked group claims they've killed dozens of ethiopian troops. identity documents purport to show the dead. the ethiopian military is
11:03 pm
regarded as the most disciplined, effective and battle hardened among the 22,000 troops of the african union's mission to somalia. their mandate is peace enforcement. their contribution to fighting al shabab hasn't gone unnoticed. u.s. president obama thanked ethiopia for their cooperation last year. >> our counter terrorism operations we've performed with ethiopia will be critical to our overall efforts to defeat terrorism. >> reporter: it has been ramped up with u.s. airstrikes. >> obama traveling to ethiopia i think, is an indication of continued u.s. engagement possibly some increase. and also signaling awareness that more needs to be done. that the last few years of combined regional and
11:04 pm
international efforts to contain al shabab haven't done enough, and it is time to step up both campaign against al shabab and on the front lines. >> the united states has to do some learning as to how on the ground and understanding on the ground would better inform whatever decisions they make. >> reporter: he adds that the two countries have a long way in addressing what he calls their differences in approach. when pressed on that it's said that the african union's war against al shabab in somalia is the cheapest most effective war against militant islam in the world. but the countries fighting that including ethiopia need more support, in terms of financing training and equipment. as one western diplomat told us it's our treasure but it's their blood. a high price to play for the
11:05 pm
long-term goal of peace. >> peace in somalia would also have dividends to the rest of the region. >> reporter: and the rest of the world. ethiopia wants to be more than a military enforcer. it wants to be the regional power broker too and it wants the u.s. to listen understand and support it. robin creel. four people are dead after a group of terrorists stormed the police station in northwestern india. now police in pun jaub state say they're still exchanging gunfire with the gunmen reportedly holed up in the station. this is recent video into us. there are no hostages we're told. one official describes this as a terror attack although it's not clear which group the attackers belong to. we will keep our eye on this and keep you updated on any

order is very clear. we have authorized the turkish armed forces with a directive from the prime ministry no matter which terror group. whoever approaches in a way that threatens our borders the necessary precautions will be taken and punished. >> reporter: but it could be a bipro dufkt turkish politics. president erdogan has yet to form a coalition government. and flip-flopped on his position vis-a-vis the kurds now turning against them since they came into political power as a party in the country's most recent elections, all which puts turkey a key nato ally in a precarious position at a precarious time. turkey has finally agreed to open its bases to coalition aircraft going after isis in syria, and turkey is calling on nato to convene regarding terror

that would lead to their own issues. this time of year landslides are more common. we are going to talk about why that is. when you watch the video playing behind us, these are deadly. >> they are. you do not want to be in the way of a landslide that can travel 35 miles per hour. and their composition is rock trees, any kind of debris from this topography. what's causing this is gravity finally winning after rain soaks the side of the mountain and the soil just gives away. it starts to erode and the slope actually washes away and you do not want to be at the bottom of that. unfortunately, most countries across the world are susceptible to some form of landslides or mudslides. and even here in the united states on average we have $3.5 billion of damage per year in the u.s. just from landslides
11:41 pm
alone. the reason for the landslide possibility across india is because we've had extremely heavy rainfall. one from an area of low pressure we're watching for tropical activity near bangladesh in the eastern half of india, but near the coast we have been drawing in moisture from the arabian sea, and it's responsible for extremely heavy rainfall across western portions of indiana yeah-- india. we've already picked up over 100 millimeters over the past 24 hours, in excess of 250, even upwards of 350 millimeters of rainfall going forward. skipping across europe now, we have had a rough go of the weather for poland germany as well as netherlands. we've had wind gusts staying over 100 kilometers per hour. very difficult landing conditions at the airport this weekend. if you've flown into the area you know it's a windy place but

11:43 pm
cnn's victor blackwell reports. >> reporter: in a quiet, rural county, about 35 miles west of jacksonville florida hangs a mural. it depicts in the artist's words, the thousands of years of history and prehistory. and thousands of people from across the country have stopped to admire it. some leaving notes of appreciation. andre thinks it's an extraordinary piece of art. then there's this anonymous message. should make the kkk bigger and brighter. yes, that kkk. >> the ku klux klan is not heritage. that is a hate group. >> reporter: the simple inclusion of these horseman is not the issue, it's that this mural is hanging inside the baker county courthouse. >> if i were to walk into this

courthouse for any legal matter am i going to be getting justice. am i going to be treated fairly? >> reporter: the group has now launched a petition on change.org to remove the mural. >> it is a pretty mural. but it should be in a place of historic value, like a museum. >> reporter: not in the courthouse? >> not in the courthouse. >> reporter: the art test died several years ago. but in a guide he explained why things should be in the mural. he described the kkk as an organization that sometimes took vigilante justice to extremes but was sometimes the only control the county knew outside those in the law. >> it's part of what happened. >> reporter: roy mcnirny has as far ased a petition to leave the mural alone at the courthouse. he's gathered as many signatures
11:45 pm
as those who want it to come down. you tell them what? >> if that's the case. then are we going to stop talking about the hall causeolocaust in schools? >> reporter: the mural does more than depict history. it suggests that it features white supremacist signals. >> there's turpentine. low-hanging limbs. stuff that raises questions of whether he was, whether there in was a deeper meaning. >> reporter: including this woodpecker to the left of the clansman. and according to the anti-defamation league a symbol embraced by skinheads. >> justice doesn't discriminate yet, they're going into a courthouse that says it might. >> reporter: baker county

11:49 pm
or abnormal bleeding. if you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling numbness, or muscle weakness. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily... and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis treats dvt & pe blood clots. plus had less major bleeding. both made switching to eliquis right for me. ask your doctor if it's right for you. the mercedes-benz summer event is here. now get the unmistakable thrill... and the incredible rush of the mercedes-benz you've always wanted. but you better get here fast... yay, daddy's here! here you go, honey. thank you. ...because a good thing like this won't last forever. see your authorized dealer for an incredible offer on the exhilarating c300 sport sedan.

welcome back everyone. the first episode of caitlin jenner's "i am cait" docuseries debuted. and follows her as she goes forward with her gender transition. it also follows her journey as a transgender advocate. >> it's so great out there. look at that! isn't it great? maybe some day you'll be normal. just blend into society. >> you are normal. >> put it this way, i'm the new normal. >> just a clip from the series there. it opened with jenner on the morning of her vanity fair debut confessing her thoughts. now 35 women have come
11:52 pm
together on the cover of new york magazine. they're seated here with the date of their alleged assault beneath them. they talk about the accusations and the backlash they've faced since speaking out. in a 2005 deposition bill cosby admitted to drug use and sexual relationships with at least five women but says they're all consensual. cosby has never been criminally charged and denies any wrongdoing. as we mentioned earlier, the 22-year-old daughter of late singing star whitney houston has died. she was found unreresponsive in late january in the bat tubhtub of her home. she was moved to hospice care last month. we're joined from los angeles to talk about bobbi kristina and other major headlines out of the entertainment industry.
11:53 pm
bobbi kristina no longer with us. what exactly do we know about ha happened? >> it's really sad. i think everything pointed obviously to this happening, but you're right. this happened january 31st. we knew she was put into a medically-induced coma and just never came out of it. bobby brown made comments about her being alive. then they had to put out statements talking about irreversible brain damage. in june she was transferred to a hospice. so clearly time was running out. it's really sad, and it's just it's sad. there's nothing more to say about this. she clearly never really dealt with losing her mother. there had been tweets that she'd sent out just a few days before this happened before she was found in the bathtub where she was working on projects but then other information was revealed about police being called to her apartment. it's really sad. >> there is an investigation looking into some of the issues and why this happened. the family is asking for privacy, and we certainly
11:54 pm
understand that. so let's go ahead and discuss some feel-good news. "ant man" apparently holding onto the number one top spot, beating adam sandler and jake gyllenhaal's movies. what's the latest there? >> yeah "ant man" continues to dominate. just by a little it beat adam's film pixels. this could change, potentially when the official numbers come out on monday, but right now "ant man" seems to hold the number one spot. adam sandler you used to not want to go up against him at the box office. his box office results have been a little bit lower but he still does well even movies that get terrible reviews. pixel doesn't get the best reviews about video game characters coming to earth. southpaw made about 16 million, not great, but better than
11:55 pm
expected. this is more of an adult film. >> apparently tom cruise, apparently is oip topen to a top gun sequel. but he has said this with conditions. what do we know about that? >> yes, the rumors have always been flying about whether there would be another "top gun". there have been reports that producers have said there was a script in development. but now tom cruise at the "mission impossible" premiere said it would be fun. he did say, as you mentioned, there would be conditions. he wanting to do it not with cgi jets. he wanting tos to do it with real ones. he's hanging off the side of a plane in "mission impossible ". he did that stunt himself. and we know he does his own stunts. if tom cruise says it would be fun and he wants to get back in
11:56 pm
those jets i think it's going to happen. >> i think it's no surprise that he says that. he always makes the point that he does his own stunts. we get it. you can jump out of planes. thanks for your time. the senior editor of "in touch weekly". and you are watching "cnn newsroom." i'm lonely no more. zain asher joins me next. he grounds of my estate, i hob nob with the glitterati and play equestrian sports. out on the veranda, we enjoy finger sandwiches and other assorted dainties. i wear nothing less than the finest designer footwear. wherever i go, the paparazzi capture my every move. yes, i am rich. that's why i drink the champagne of beers. points, points, our points. there has got to be a way to redeem our hotel points.

u.s. president barack obama touches down in ethiopia just as the region comes to grips with another deadly terrorist attack. plus after months in a medically induced coma the daughter of singing star whitney houston has died. and despite all the controversy, presidential candidate donald trump remains number one in the republican polls. hello and a warm welcome to all of our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm zain asher. >> good to be with you, zain. hey, everyone. i'm errol barnett. this is "cnn newsroom."
12:01 am
we begin in somalia, where terror group al shabab is claiming responsibility for a deadly attack at an upscale hotel in mogadishu. >> that's right. police say at least 15 people were killed when a suicide bomber rammed the front gate with a vehicle loaded with explosives. al shabab says it was targeting western envoys. the hotel house the diplomatic missions of several countries, and that includes china as well. >> the attacks happened while the u.s. president was in neighboring kenya for the first leg of his africa tour. barack obama gave a passionate speech in nairobi, saying the u.s. and kenya must work together to fight al shabab. >> we're going to stand shoirldulder to shoulder with you in this fight against terrorism for as long as it takes. [ applause ] but as i mentioned yesterday, it is important to remember that violent extremists want us to turn against one another. >> mr. obama is now in ethiopia where he's expected to attend a
12:02 am
welcome ceremony within the hour at the national palace. now, cnn correspondent robin creole has been following his jet. she joins me from the capital addis ababa. so robin, just as president obama was traveling to ethiopia there was that attack at a hotel in somalia that al shabab militants actually claimed responsibility for. so clearly in this region security is a problem. but how will obama's visit make a difference do you think? >> reporter: i think obama's visit is sending a clear message to kenya and ethiopia. it's a historical visit. first sitting u.s. president to visit both of those countries. but we're told that security is one of the major reasons that he is making this visit. obviously, security in this region as highlighted from this attack yesterday and all throughout the past month there's been a series of bloody attacks, both in somalia and even some small-scale attacks in kenya that really talk to this
12:03 am
idea of security cooperation in this region. president obama and the united states already trains and equips as well as gives a lot of money to african union forces including kenya and ethiopia. we managed to sit down and get both the ethiopian side and the american side and exactly what the u.s. plans to do in the future in its fight against terror in the region and just what kind of a role ethiopia hopes to take. here's that story. al shabab militants wait to ambush an african union convoy in southern somalia. the attack went largely unnoticed until this gruesome terror video appeared online. the al qaeda-linked militant group claims they killed dozens of ethiopian troops. identity documents purport to show the dead. the ethiopian military is regarded as the most disciplined, effective, and battle-hardened among the 22,000 troops of the african union's
12:04 am
mission to somalia. their mandate is peace enforcement. their contribution to fighting al shabab hasn't gone unnoticed. u.s. president barack obama thanked ethiopia for its leadership and cooperation last year. >> our counterterrorism cooperation and the partnerships that we can form with countries like ethiopia are going to be critical to our overall efforts to defeat terrorism. >> reporter: those efforts have ramped up just this month with a new ground offensive by african forces and u.s. air strikes. >> obama traveling to ethiopia i think is an indication of continued u.s. engagement, possibly some increase and also signaling a u.s. awareness that more needs to be done that the last few years of combined regional and international efforts to contain al shabab haven't done enough and that it's time to step up both the campaign against al shabab and the support for the countries
12:05 am
that are on the front line. >> reporter: the ethiopians believe they can teach the americans a thing or two about achieving that. >> the united states has to do some learning as to how realities on the ground and understanding the realities on the ground would better information whatever decisions they make. >> reporter: he adds the two countries have a long way in addressing what he calls their differences in approach. when pressed on that -- >> it's said the african union's war against al shabab in somalia is the cheapest most effective war against militant islam in the world. but the countries fighting that war including ethiopia need more support in terms of financing, training and equipping. as one western diplomat told us it's our treasure but it's their blood. a high price to play for the long-desired goal of stability in the horn of africa. >> peace in ethiopia peace in somalia will also have dividends to the rest of the region. >> reporter: and the rest of the
12:06 am
world. ethiopia wants to be more than a military enforcer. it wants to be the regional power broker too. and it wants the u.s. to listen understand and support it. in the last week you've seen this level of cooperation increasing. ethiopia kenya, and uganda part of those forces have launched a very big mission into southern somalia where they've tried to make sure al shabab gets out of its stronghold including the city of dinsoor they've been in for the past eight years, and the u.s. has been providing air strike cover and essentially striking targets directly in support of african union forces. back to you in the studio. >> and robin, in addition to security issues obama is expected to discuss human rights abuses in ethiopia as well and he's expected to address the african union on tuesday. robyn kril joining us live from addis ababa. we appreciate that. thank you. we also expect there to be
12:07 am
within this hour some type of welcoming ceremony. if that does happen as scheduled we'll bring that to you live. so do stay tuned for that. now, attackers dressed in army fatigues stormed a police station in northwestern india on monday killing five people. police in punjab state say they're still exchanging fire with the gunmen holed up inside the station. thankfully though there are no hostages. >> one official describes it as a terror attack although it's not clear which group the attackers belong to. >> reporter: now, in yemen the government and houthi rebels are blaming each other for breaching a five-day humanitarian cease-fire. >> a saudi-backed government accuses houthi militia of shelling almost immediately after the truce went into effect midnight on sunday according to a source close to the government. meanwhile, the houthi-backed defense ministry says the saudi coalition breached the cease-fire by launching two airstrikes in hajja and sadaa. we are told that one person was killed. all right. we're turning our attention now to turkey a nation struggling
12:08 am
with a spate of violent attacks that has killed dozens of people there. most recently there was this car bombing that killed two security officers responding to an emergency call. >> now, turkey in response have actually asked for an emergency nato meeting to discuss the bold steps that it's taking to fight terrorism including weekend air strikes on isis positions in syria and bombing kurdish militants in iraq as well. now, for the latest on the stepped-up measures by turkey let's bring in cnn's jinama karadsheh. she joins us live from jordan. great to connect with you. as we mentioned, turkey taking a more aggressive stance against isis but it's also fighting kurdish rebels the pkk, a group which itself is fighting isis in the region. i'm just wondering how the kurdish population here is reacting to this. >> reporter: it's a very complicated situation. as you mentioned there, errol. we heard from the pkk issuing a
12:09 am
statement saying the cease-fire that has been in effect been turkey and the group since 2013 is now over and it's dead basically. and we also heard from the kurdish president of the kurdistan regional government in northern iraq. that is where we saw the bombardment of pkk positions by the turkish air force take place in the past few days. masrud barzani releasing a statement also after speaking with the turkish prime minister really concerned about the situation and calling for calm by all parties here. and we heard barzani saying peace is the only solution to problems and years of dialogue is better than an hour of fighting. that old saying here errol, that my enemy's enemy is my friend doesn't really apply while both as you mentioned,
12:10 am
the kurds and turkey here are fighting isis. they view isis as the enemy. for turkey the pkk is considered a terrorist organization just like isis that poses a threat to its national security and the concern here is that turkey is opening up these two fronts now, attacking and taking this aggressive action against both isis and the pkk. a lot of concern here that this could invite more retaliatory attacks that we could see with the end of the cease-fire between the pkk and turkey three bloody decades fighting between turkey and the pkk, and a lot of concern about these retaliatory attacks that might happen as a result of this aggressive action by turkey errol. >> and that certainly is concerning. let's talk a bit more about how this all looks from the turkish perspective. the country has called an emergency nato meeting. that's set for tuesday. there have been a number of
12:11 am
attacks inside the country over the past week, and within that time some 800-plus people have been detained. what outcome is turkey likely looking for here? >> reporter: well it's very unclear because we don't really know what turkey is going to ask for at this meeting. it's called for this extraordinary nato meeting under article 4, which usually is to brief nato allies on the action it is currently taking on its military operations and also for consultation with allies. not necessarily -- we're not really going to see any outcome out of this tomorrow. it is unclear. we don't know what turkey might ask for. but of course as you mentioned we have seen some dramatic change in the turkish position over the past few days. so this is something that we would expect to see turkey calling its allies convening this meeting to brief them on this situation and what it sees
12:12 am
as a serious threat toyotas territorial integrity, to its national security in this case and it's also worth mentioning errol, while this is a rare meeting turkey has in the past asked for four of these meetings by nato out of five that we have seen in the organization's history. one was over the iraq war in 2003 and two of them over syria since 2012. so we'll have to wait and see what comes out of this meeting in brussels tomorrow at this point, errol. >> yeah we'll certainly be watching that closely. jomana karadsheh live for us in amman, jordan. 12 minutes past 10:00 in the morning there. jomana, thanks. and we have some very sad news to share with you. the daughter and only child of the late whitney houston is now dead. bobbi kristina brown had been in a medically induced coma since she was found unresponsive in a bathtub in her home in the u.s. state of georgia. >> now, when her condition

deteriorated recently, she was moved to hospice care. in a statement the family representative said the following -- "bobbi kristina brown passed away sunday july 26th, 2015 surrounded by her family. she is finally at peace in the arms of god." >> now, bobbi kristina brown was only 22 years old. cnn's alina machado looks at her short and often controversial life. >> reporter: as the adorable daughter of pop icon whitney houston, bobbi kristina brown was thrust into the spotlight at a tender age. ♪ and i've got my baby ♪ born in livingston new jersey in 1993 she was the only child of houston and r&b singer bobby brown. at just 12 years old her family's drama was turned into reality tv fodder on "being bobby brown." >> item watching you, young

12:15 am

the prime ministery no matter which terror group. whoever approaches the borders in a way that threatens our borders without needing a second order the necessary precautions will be taken and punished. >> reporter: but the aggressive stance may also be a by-product of turkish politics. president erdogan has yet to form a coalition government been blamed for allowing the threat posed by isis to thrive and flip-flopped on his position vis-a-vis the kurds. now turning against them since they came into political power as a party and the country's most recent elections. all of which puts turkey a key nato ally in a contentious position at a precarious time. turkey has finally agreed to open its bases and air space to coalition aircraft going after isis in syria, something washington has been pressuring it to do. and turkey is calling on nato to convene regarding terror threats to its security.

engagement, whether with the pkk or isis will come at a cost. air strikes and crackdowns rarely eliminate threats. especially not in a region this volatile where tensions run deep and alliances are murky. arwa damon, cnn, istanbul. still to come here on "cnn newsroom" -- wrestling star hulk hogan is at the center of controversy for comments he made a decade ago. what he said and how it came to light after this short break. oh my froot loops!

take a look at this incredible video. this is from northern india, where you can see heavy rains have actually caused the landslides and floodings you've seen here. the slides have actually forced officials to close a national highway in the area. now it's cutting the districts off from other parts of the state. >> and you know this is common at this time of year throughout india. mudslides become more frequent all over the country.
12:41 am
i'm meteorologist derek van dam is back to talk to us. >> they can run 35 miles per hour with debris rolling down the side of a hill. they pick up rocks and they pick up trees and they pretty much demolish i go in its path. obviously going that fast with that type of weight behind, it scary stuff, something you do not want to encounter. unfortunately, pretty much all countries across the world are susceptible to landslides or mudslides in some form. here in the united states we have on average about 3.5 billion u.s. dollars of damage thanks to landslides per year. basically, heavy rainfall soaking the sides of the topography the mountains, the terrain. eventually gravity wins the slope fails, and, well ultimately takes it down a big torrent of mud and rock. not something you want to see. in india this is the time of year where we start to see the frequency of landslides and mudslides increasing. that is thanks to the monsoonal rains that have settled there. particularly at the moment we have a few areas of low pressure we're monitoring.
12:42 am
one across the bay of bengal bringing heavy rain to myanmar bangladesh the eastern half of india, but the gujarat state, the most western state in india, currently under the highest, most extreme warning for monsoonal rains. and take a look at how much rain we're expecting to fall over the next 48 hours over that area. computer models indicating anywhere between 300, perhaps even upwards of 500 millimeters in those higher elevations. that's going to lead to the possibility of mudslides and landslides once again. we're going to hop across the continent into europe and talk about a storm system that's brought strong to severe weather this past weekend. it's been a rough go from poland into germany as well as the netherlands. wind gusts in excess of 100 miles -- or rather kilometers per hour. but take a look at what this strong line of winds did at a sailing event in hamburg, germany. this was the moment when the boat was going down wind on its last beat. it was jibing. and unfortunately, it capsized.
12:43 am
that looks like it hurt. you can see the guys actually falling from one of the sides of the boat. fortunately, no one was injured and they've uprighted the boat and they're going to assess the damage. >> stairy stuff there. >> it is. i do not want to be part of it. >> thanks so much derek. hulk hogan is apologizing for a racist rant caught on an unauthorized sex tape from nearly a decade ago. the wrestling superstar and the wwe have now parted ways. >> cnn's jason carroll has more on hogan's rant. and as you might expect going to give a warning because the language used is offensive. >> there's all kinds of hulk-a-maniacs running wild. >> reporter: wrestling superstar hulk hogan got a smackdown from world wrestling entertainment, firing the wwe star after he was heard repeating the n word in a racist rant. according to radaronline and the "national enquirer," hogan is heard on the tape, which was recorded in 2006, talking about his daughter brooke, who he accused of sleeping with an

[ bleep ] [ bleep ]." hogan's rant, captured during his performance in a secretly recorded sex tape. and he's suing gawker to try to stop the online website from releasing it. hogan responded friday in a statement saying, "it was unacceptable for me to have used that offensive language. there is no excuse for it, and i apologize for having done it. i am disappointed with myself that i used language that is offensive and inconsistent with my own beliefs. it is not who i am." >> i don't know who would want to enter into a contract with him after this. i wouldn't be surprised if everybody just drops him cold.
12:45 am
>> reporter: hogan says he is resigning from the wwe. while the wwe's saying hogan was fired. wwe terminated its contract with terry bollea, aka hulk hogan. wwe is committed to embracing and celebrating individuals from all backgrounds, as demonstrated by the diversity of our employees, performers, and fans worldwide." >> what we saw on that tape is exactly what 21st century racism looks like. you may like black people and be friendly to black children but you don't want your child to marry a black person. >> reporter: when hogan used the n word during a 2012 radio broadcast, he explained that a black wrestler, booker t., called him the word during a match. >> they're all talking trash. booker t. goes, i'm coming for you, hogan, you [ bleep ]. >> hogan got a pass that time but now finds himself in the same position of other celebrities caught using racially charged language. remember mel gibson's rants? >> and if you get raped by a pack of [ bleep ] it will be your fault. >> and michael richards. >> [ bleep ]!
12:46 am
[ bleep ]! >> reporter: both caught. others such as paula deen, justin bieber, and madonna also caught and also apologized for using the word. apology alone works for some, not for all. as for hogan, his name and likeness stricken from the wwe website. we did reach out to hogan's daughter, brooke. her representatives did not return our calls. a number of people have actually taken to twitter to support hogan. one of those people supporting him, dennis rodman, who tweeted out he did not believe that hogan had a "racist bone in his body." jason carroll, cnn, new york. we want to get you some breaking news. this just in to cnn. at least 21 people have been killed in afghanistan after a gunfight broke out at a wedding. it happened north of kabul. >> now, officials say a gunfight broke out between two illegal

the first episode of caitlyn jenner's "i am cait" docu series premiered sunday night. it follows caitlyn, formerly bruce jenner as she goes public with her gender transition. it also chronicles her journey as a transgender advocate. take a look. >> we're officially off the property. we're out into the world. it's so great out there. look at that. isn't it great that maybe someday you'll be normal? just blend into society. >> you are normal. >> put it this way. i'm the new normal. >> the new normal. now, the series opened with jenner on the morning of her "vanity fair" cover debut confessing her fears of living up to her responsibilities. and now to a very noteworthy magazine cover. more than 40 women have come forward and accused comedian bill cosby of sexual assault.
12:52 am
well now 35 of those women have come together on the cover of "new york" magazine. they're shown seated in rows with the date of their alleged assault beneath them. in a 13-page essay inside the women talk about their accusations and the backlash they face in speak out. >> now, in a 2005 deposition bill cosby admitted to drug use and sexual relationships with at least five of those women but says they were all consensual. cosby has never been criminally charged, and he denies any wrongdoing. as we mentioned earlier, the 22-year-old daughter of late singing star whitney houston has died. in late january bobbi kristina brown was found unresponsive in the bathtub of her home. >> doctors placed her in a medically induced coma and sadly her condition did continue to deteriorate. she was moved to hospice care last month. >> kim serafin, the senior editor of "in touch weekly" joins us from los angeles to talk about bobbi kristina and other major headlines out of the
12:53 am
entertainment industry. so kim, bobbi kristina no longer with us. what exactly do we know about what happened? >> yeah it's really sad. i mean i think everything pointed obviously to this happening. but you're right, this happened january 31st. we knew she was put ton a medically induced coma and just never came out of it. there had been various rumors. bobby brown had made some comments about her being alive. then of course they had to put out statements talking about irreversible brain damage. we know that back in june she was transferred to a hospice. so clearly time was running out. and it's really sad and it's just -- it's sad. i mean there's nothing more to say about this. she clearly never really dealt with losing her mother. there had been tweets that she'd sent out just a few days before this happened before she was found in the bathtub where she was working on some projects but then other information emerged about police being called to her apartment. it's just all really sad. >> yeah. and there is an investigation looking into some of the issues and why this happened.
12:54 am
the family is asking for privacy, and we certainly understand that. so let's go ahead and discuss some feel-good news in the entertainment world. "ant-man" apparently holding on to the number one top spot this past weekend, beating adam sandler and jake gyllenhaal's movies. what's the latest there? >> yeah. weekend box office "ant-man" a marvel movie continues to dominate. just by a little. just beat adam sandler's film "pixels" by -- it was 24.8 versus 24 million. this could change potentially when the official numbers come out on monday. but right now "ant-man" seems to hold the number one spot. adam sandler of course used to be you'd never want to go up against an adam sandler movie because he just dominate the box office. his box office results have been a little bit lower but he still does well. even movies that get terrible reviews. "pixels" did not get the best reviews. about 1980s video games masquerading as aliens that come and attack earth. but you know 24 million still not bad. and jake gyllenhaal's boxing movie "southpaw" made about 16
12:55 am
million, which is not great but better than expected. this is more of an adult film. >> okay. now, apparently tom cruise according to what he said this past weekend is open to a "top gun" sequel. this is the original kind of huge movie that came out back in 1986. but he has said this with conditions. what do we know about that? >> yes. the rumors have always been flying about whether there would be another "top gun." there's been some reports that producers have said there was a script in development. but now tom cruise at the "mission impossible" premiumer said it would be fun. that's what he said. of course this has set the internet aflame. he did say there would be conditions he wants to do it not with cgi jets-e wants to do real stunts like they did the first one. this makes sense. this is tom cruise. if you've seen any of those previews or trailers of the new "mission: impossible" he's hanging off the side of a plane and he did that stunt himself and there's a lot of things that went into doing that but he did that stunt and we know he does
12:56 am
his own stunts. i think if tom cruise says it would be fun and he wants to get back in those jets i think it's going to happen. >> i think it's no surprise that he says that too. he always wants to make a point he does his own stunts. he's a top action movie star. it's like tom, we get it we know you can jump out of planes. kim ser atin, great to chat with you. thanks for your time. the senior editor of "in touch weekly" chatting with us this week from l.a. >> great. thanks so much. >> there absolutely is no one better at jumping out of planes i think than tom cruise. >> for movies anyway. >> very gifted at that. >> thank you so much for watching. i'm zain asher. >> and i'm errol barnett. zain will be filling in with me all week. i'm excited. stay with cnn. "early start" is next for those of you in the states. >> for the rest of you another edition of "cnn newsroom" begins right after this quick break. don't go away. -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com
