nice woman and i said she should be on the main stage at the debate and she going to be. >> but when he was asked about hillary clinton's e-mail controversy, trump had some harsh words. >> what do you think we are going to find in hillary's e-mails? >> i think a lot of bad stuff. i think it's something she should not have been doing. she has her server in her bathroom and her place in denver, what is going on? it's wrong. >> when it comes to preparing for wednesday's debate, donald trump says he will do what he always does. he is just going to be himself. >> you do what you do. it is what it is. you've learned and you're an intelligent person. you have to understand you're not going to be very good up there. the first debate i won every single poll when they asked who won the debate and i would say i was not asked nice questions. the questions i were asked, they were in my opinion. >> a trill tricky. >> though were unfair but these

are minor details. >> steven collins is joining us from washington. steven, what stood out to you yesterday in this venue? >> that's really interesting. has there ever been a presidential candidate that is better on television than donald trump? that is more comfortable in that environment? he thrives there. it's where he lives. he's a master of this media and that can be very important in political campaigns. before the clips you showed there were the skit where it was basically the donald interviewing the donald as portrayed by jimmy fallon and what that brought across was something we don't often see from donald trump with self-deprecating moments and humility. one thing we know about elections, voters like to like the people they elect. so far, donald trump is perhaps not come across as a likeable candidate and harnessed real anger in the country and perhaps this was a chance to broaden his base of support. >> we heard what he said there at the top of the show about

carly fiorina. you have to woned how it is that he gets away with saying some of the things he says and it doesn't seem to get him in trouble. rudy giuliani was talking about that last night with wolf blitzer. let's listen to this here. i apologize. for some reason, we don't have that. he said somehow, speaking about trump, he can make that comment and it doesn't have the same impact as it would if i had made that comment. we shouldn't be talking about our looks. it usually gets a candidate in trouble, but it has to tell you something is going on if it doesn't get him in trouble. there is something that the public sees here and i think it's probably the fact that he is talking to them straight. he says that. but what do you think is that "something" that almost makes him, like, trump teflon? >> right. there is a strang magic about donald trump's campaign. i've been to some of his rallies and you talk to people in the

crowd and you ask them about the kind of things he is saying about carly fiorina. female conservative voters say they just don't care what they are connecting to is something that donald trump has touched in this large segment of the republican electorate and that is the vehement hatred of politicians. they want someone fresh and to rip everything up. the way, donald trump benefits this being his political persona. everyone knows donald trump will say outrageous comments and i think some people discount that. any other politician said one of these comments that donald trump has been saying the last few months, their campaign would be over but donald trump manages to get away with it. the question is, when we get towards the primaries and caucuses early next year, when people are really looking at someone they want to put in the oval office, are they prepared to put donald trump, who has a history of these kind of comments into the oval office to be the head of state of the

united states? that is when this question really becomes an important one. >> okay. and you mentioned the skit last night where donald interviewed "the donald." let's watch a bit of that. >> the only one qualified to interview me is me. >> me interviewing me, that's what i call a great idea. >> of course, it's a great idea. we thought of it. okay, interview time. question one. are you ready for the republican debate next week? >> you know the truth is, i'm always ready. it's really going to be a dig be big debate, but i'm always

ready. >> it's not just big, it's huge, huge, huge, huge, huge! >> kudos to fallon because he did a great job. when you watch that, how is he doing it? >> what is he doing is use humor to deflate the criticisms of his campaign and his personality, ego-driven and bombastic and doesn't answer questions how you would pay for a mexican wall and how you make america great again. what is going to happen that clip will go viral on social media. not just the people up late on friday night watching jimmy fallon who will see that but allow donald trump to dominate the conversation going up to the debate on wednesday on cnn and it's just another example of the way that this candidate has managed to master the media. he is a reality star and he is almost turned the presidential campaign into his own reality show. >> a very good point.

steven collinson, we so appreciate your insight. thank you for being here. >> thanks. the republican race for 2016 got a little less crowded. rick perry announced he is suspended hing his campaign. he took a big dig at donald trump on the way out saying the following. we will have more political news all morning long, including donald trump's "the tonight show" appearance and dr. carson's recent surging in the polls. tune into the next republican presidential debate, hosted by cnn, starts wednesday at 6:00 p.m. eastern time. have police solved the mystery behind the serial freeway shootings? arizona? what a lot of people are asking this morning. what people are saying about the people of interest they have in custody. >> the death toll climbs as a

xarelto® is proven to treat and help reduce the risk of dvt and pe blood clots. xarelto® has also been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in people with afib, not caused by a heart valve problem. for people with afib currently well managed on warfarin, there is limited information on how xarelto® and warfarin compare in reducing the risk of stroke. i tried warfarin before, but the blood testing routine and dietary restrictions had me off my game. not this time. not with xarelto®. i'll have another arnold palmer. make mine a kevin nealon. really, brian? hey, safety first. like all blood thinners, don't stop taking xarelto® without talking to your doctor, as this may increase your risk of a blood clot or stroke. while taking, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer for bleeding to stop. xarelto® may increase your risk of bleeding if you take certain medicines. xarelto® can cause serious, and in rare cases, fatal bleeding. get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical

or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®. where their electricity comes from. they flip the switch-- and the light comes on. it's our job to make sure that it does. using natural gas this power plant can produce enough energy for about 600,000 homes. generating electricity that's cleaner and reliable, with fewer emissions-- it matters. ♪

12 minutes past the hour right now. new developments in phoenix downtown area. no arrests but police do say they are talking with a, quote, a person of interest. that man taken for questioning less than 24 hours ago. >> the last two weeks, 11 vehicles have been struck by bullets or projectiles in and around the city and the authorities are on edge worried the next shooting could happen at any moment and possibly turn deadly. here is sara sidner. >> reporter: police and the public hoping is there a break in the case, but right now, police just don't know. they say they are questioning someone in connection with the shooting, but they are being very careful to say the person has not been arrested only detained. after nearly two weeks with at least 11 vehicles hit with bullets of projectiles along an eight-mile stretch of interstate 10, a man is being questioned

with the shootings. it's fair to say this will probably come up but be want to spend time with him and find out what he knows. >> reporter: the man and the woman were detained at a traffic stop. investigators released the woman but continued questioning the man. what can you tell me about what the circumstances were that led you to tip-related or is this something investigators figured out? >> it's reasonable to say it's a combination of the two. >> reporter: but no one has been arrested and police are still asking for citizens to call in tips. this as two other incidents, one along highway 17, and another off interstate 10, are being investigated to determine whether they are linked to the recently shoot spree. cars to big rigs have been hit during all times of the day and night with no apparent pattern. he says the department is adding number resources to the investigation. >> it's never a one-man d one-man situation and that is from the -- from the troopers to the police department to the citizens. it's a total team effort. >> reporter: this is not the first time police and the public here have had to deal with serial roadway shootings. a decade ago, eight people were

killed as two gunmen stocked the roadways in phoenix and that case took more than a year to solve. the man heading the current investigation was a lieutenant working at the phoenix police department during those shootings. >> that was what they called a serial shooter case. they were literally driving down roads and with a shotgun shooting people walking down the street and killing them. >> that was then. this is now. that case took actually 15 months to solve and investigators he warn that this case may take a while too. sara sidner, thanks very much. with knus now is tom fuente. no apparent pattern here any time of night or day. i'm wondering what are your initial thoughts that the person that the authorities are desperately trying to catch here? do you get any sense of who would carry out this kind of

shooting spree? >> i think it sounds like some mentally disturbed person that wants to, almost the equivalent of pulling a fire alarm in school, just wants to see the authorities scramble, wants to see at least the event that he or she caused to be on television, to be covered, to be in the news, and indirectly give them some fame. the case like this is extremely difficult to solve, as sara mentioned, 15 months in the last days and very difficult. >> we know a volunteer group of our men and women out patrolling the highway at night. how do authorities look at this kind of assistance? does it help them or do they worry about it? >> it helps them if they catch the person but actually in a way, it's a hindrance. you have that many more people with guns running around that could be the person. could be somebody that is in the crowd of vigilantes is one of the shooters. you just don't know. you know? you see that in the cases of arson. the arsonist almost shows up at

fires that he caused. so, you know, it's a similar situation to that and really it's going to take really somebody, a friend, a family member turning in a person who may be bragging about doing this event or literally the smoking gun, catching somebody in the act or shortly after the act of firing a shot or throwing debris on a highway. >> sara mentioned how this particular area has been haunted by these events of ten years ago. but there are other parts of the country that have suffered that. i know because i've covered them. >> right. a similar circumstance in colorado and that one still hasn't been solved either. it's just a very difficult thing. we have a lot of people running around with guns and we have a lot of people that would be carrying guns in their vehicles to either go to shoot them at a sporting event or go hunting or practice or some other reason and that just makes it that much harder to find somebody who done it and also the ballistics are

dave because the bullet can be so pulverized that when it hits the car it may be hard to do an actually ballistic match even if they get a suspect. >> i imagine with someone, at least a person of interest being detained, they will watch and see if the gunfire stops. tom fuentes, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. a construction crane crashes down on the largest mosque in the world. look at some of these pictures we are getting in. at least a hundred people were inside and have died. we are going to tell you what may have caused it to happen. taking you live there. also, learning new details about a deadly plane crash involving people who were working on a new tom cruise movie. that's ahead. y bank no branches equals great rates. it's a fact. kind of like shopping hungry equals overshopping.

things they are looking at in this investigation. first, they are analyzing this crane, was it secure or was there a defect for it that could cause it to topple over like that? the other thing they are looking at is the weather at the time. this was a freak thunderstorm with wind gusts up to 50 miles an hour, heavy rain mixed with dust and lightning. what role did that play in this crane toppling over? but if you look at that amateur video and also knowing that area, there are over a dozen other cranes like that, so the question is why did this crane topple over and none of the other cranes that were surrounding the mosque? this was an expansion to really create a mosque that could hold 2 million people. another part of this was to make it safe for the 2 million people, a lot of things that saudi officials are investigating today. >> you're mentioning the 2

million people expected to be there in ten days and a annual pilgrimage to the mosque is happening. would people might have trepidations about making that trip? >> reporter: well, definitely people will be wondering about security and safety about this and something that saudi officials are going to try to alleviate but it really is unlikely to have much of effect on people going to mecca, going on the hajj is one of the pillars of islam. every muslim that is going on that the hajj must do it. i know people in egypt will risk their entire lives to go on this and an important part of their faith and much effect on the numbers. they are examining over 2 million people this year. but saudi official are going to have to reassure people that

this could not happen again. >> ian lee, thank you for the update. at least 50 people are dead after a building housing licensed explosives blew up in central india. the blast was so strong, houses across the road were damaged. police say a fire may have triggered that blast. a large crowd gathereded at the site to look for their loved ones in the onele while emergency vehicles were coming through. police have video showing the take down of former tennis star james blake. look at this. a plain clothes officer there. what the video tells us and what we have learned about the officer as well. the dramatic rescue of an elderly man shown in a video. we have moved on from the nfl's deflategate but now there is headsetgate involving the patriots versus the steelers. we will walk you through. in the living room.

>> i want to apologize to him on behalf of the city of new york city and this shouldn't have happened and he shouldn't have been treated this way. >> reporter: after the statement from blame yesterday, de blasio released a statement in part saying the new york city has dedicated 23 million in retraining 22,000 police officers so clearly he is trying to counter blake asking for the financial commitment from the city. i spoke with blake's attorney last night. he told me we should hear more from the tennis pro today. >> we will wait for that. boris sanchez, thanks very much. let's talk to hln legal analyst joey jackson now. let's pull up the video again so you can watch it as we are talking about it of that take-down, so to speak. as you watch this and what you know of law enforcement, joey, do you think blake has a case here? >> i do, christi, and good morning. there are three underlying prinze that deal with any use of force.

any force used has been to proportionate to any thing proposed if is there a threat and evaluating it looking at it like that. number two, when it comes to an arrest you edge use that force necessary to effect that arrest. number three, all actions have to be reasonable. those would be the three principles that people, jurors, would be asked to consider. so was the force proportionate? you would have to answer that. was the force necessary in this situation to affect this aend ws it reasonable? the commissioner himself has said it was not appropriate. >> so the two civil cases that boris mentioned and highlighted there against the officer, how does that play into this for the officer? >> well, it plays in in the following way. if there is pending cases that really begs the question, christi, as to whether or not he should have been out there in the first instance.

i understand that civil cases are allegations and until those cases are resolved, they are allegations. but for the officer's protection and certainly for everybody else's protection the question is should he have been there doing that? the second way it plays into is an evidentiary way. can you use those past cases? in this case, would they be admissible? generally speaking, every case is dealt with on its over merits. just because you did something yesterday or the day before, has nothing to do with what you're being accused of now. however, if this is your m.o., modus operandi, the way you operate legal exceptions allow what you did yesterday to come in what you're being accused of today. >> joey jackson, always appreciate it, sir. thank you. >> thank you, christi. >> sure. stay tuned. james blake is going to be live here on cnn at noon today.

stepping off and cheering and one kissed me on the cheek he was in such a celebratory mood. before there, the greek government helps ferry the thousands and thousands of migrants and refuges aboard more comfortable ships to athens where they will then continue their journey by bus, by taxi, by train up through europe, many of them saying that they wanted to reach germany and sweden. the german government is preparing to receive, they estimate, some 10,000 migrants over the course of the next day. >> is there any indication, ivan, that there is going to slow down at any point or the fact now that these people are being received and, in many places, in europe, received well? is it only encouraging more people now to make that dangerous crossing? >> reporter: from what i've seen, it seems like the numbers will only pick up, because many

of the refuges that i've spoken to, particularly from syria, have only left syria within the last week. they have literally just begun their journeys with advice that they are getting from relatives and friends who have completed the journey or they are picking up from social media. facebook is playing a very big role here and sharing instructions and advice on how to travel. i've been in touch with one refuge family in iraq living in a refuge camp there and they are saving up money to send some of their relative on this same journey. one of the big question is what is going to start happening when the millions of people living in refuge camps in northern iraq and in syria -- sorry, in turkey and in jordan, what is going to start happening when they see this migrant trail and they decide that this is a good idea to get out of the camps and start to travel? the only hindrance they perhaps face is the sheer cost of this journey. the going price to one seat

aboard an overcrowded raft from turkey to a greek island is $1,300 and an awful lot of money for somebody living in a refuge camp for more than a year. >> ivan watson, thank you very much for the update. christi? >> it seems like a sure thing. serena williams was going to get her grand slam. can you believe the run is over? knocked off by an unseeded player, no less. have you picked your jaws up off the floor yet? we will talk about this. also a family vacation turned health crisis. new details this morning about the botched fumigation that left two teenage boys unable to walk or even eat on their own. iflike i love shrimp, red lobster's endless shrimp... ...is kind of a big deal. it's finally back, with as much shrimp as you want, any way you want 'em. one taste of these new pineapple habanero coconut shrimp bites, and i already want more.

enjoy. enjoy it. but i didn't expect that i won. >> but roberta vinci did, she absolutely played her heart out and even williams gave all credit to vinci's restless and relentless will to win. >> serena, how disappointed are you? >> i don't want to talk about how disappointing it is for me. if you have any other questions, i'm opening for that. >> how well did she play today? >> i thought she played the best tennis in her career, you know? she is 33 and, you know, she is going for it at a late age, so that is good for her to keep going for it and playing so well and actually i guess, it's inspiring. but, yeah, i think she played literally out of her mind. i don't think i played that bad. i made a few -- i made more unforced errors than i normally would make but, i mean, i think she just played really well. she did not want to lose today and neither did i, incidentally,

but she really didn't either. >> serena, you've been so adept at pulling yourself out of precarious positions throughout this run. was there any moment where you had, i know i can do this? and was there a moment you said, maybe i can't? >> no. >> another question for you. [ inaudible ]. >> no, i told you guys i don't feel pressure. i never felt pressure and i think -- i don't know. i never felt that pressure to win here. i said that from the beginning. >> she had she is 33, she's in a late age. for tennis, for tennis. if you didn't know roberta vinci, by the way, apparently a lot of people didn't. there were more than a million google searches on her and williams after this match. >> to give you perspective how big this moment was, here is cnn

sports analyst kristin brennan moments after the historic match set. >> reporter: this is one of the biggest upsets we have seen in sports, men's or women's, ever. >> cnn's sports anchor coy wire is joining us now as well. >> good morning. >> what did you think? >> i think arguably it is one of the greatest upsets ever. she was so close to doing something that only three other women had done in the history of the sport but she is upset by an unseeded player by whom she had never been beaten. was it the greatest upset of all time, though? how about the 1980 lake placid olympics. >> mine right there! >> american and collegiate americans with "the miracle on ice." you also undefeated mike tyson knocked out by an underdog or eight years ago, fcs school, appalachian state, 33-point underdog against the fifth ranked power house michigan and

appalachian state won in front of 109,000 stunned fans. so what is the greatest upset in sports of all time? this is where you make the show. tweet me your response using the #newdaycnn and we will share some of your insight the next hour. >> a lot of it has to do with what is your favorite sport too. >> that is true. we are going to get a lot of good responses as we always do and looking forward to this one. >> but this is a big one. >> coy, thank you so much. police cameras catching a water rescue as it happens. a 10-year-old trapped in a car. that's coming up next. plus, donald trump, head-to-head with jimmy fallon on late night tv? >> next question. how are you going to create jobs in this country? >> i'm just going to do it. we all eat foods that are acidic... most of the time people are shocked when we show them where they're getting the acid, and what those acids can do to the enamel. there's only so much enamel on a tooth, and everybody needs

to do something about it now if they want to preserve their teeth. i recommend pronamel because it helps strengthen the tooth and makes it more resistant to acid breakdown. we want to be healthy and strong through the course of our life, and by using pronamel every day, just simply using it as your toothpaste, you know you will have that peace of mind. .

about yourself, otherwise, you're not going to be very good up there. the first debate i won every single poll when they asked who won the debate and i would say i was not asked nice questions. the questions i were asked, they were in my opinion. >> a little tricky. >> they were unfair but these are minor details. ben carson nipping him in the polls but taking a much calmer road forward. >> by living my life, by having town hall meetings where i don't screen the questions, that is probably the best preparation. >> the debate floor got a little less crowded. rick perry bowing out. >> when i gave my life to christ, i said, your ways are greater than my ways. your will is superior to mine. today, i submit to you his will

remains a mystery. but some things have come and become very clear to me. that is why, today, i am suspending my campaign. >> breakdown the three big stories on cnn politics. steven collinson and jamie turner are joining us. steven, let's watch more of trump's appearance on "the tonight show." take a look. >> what are you doing that they are not doing? >> i think they want our country to be respected again. i think they feel that if i'm president, i will do some great things for our country and we are going to be respected again. we are not scuffed at and we are not going to be laughed at and not bad deals and make great deals and i think think i will be able to do that and i know i'll be able to do that. it's like a movement in dallas. mark cuban called. he says he has the arena.

this was like three or four days ago. in dallas we have a sold out arena in dallas and it went up a feud in alabama, we went there to mobile, alabama, 31,000 people in the stadium and we started looking for a people a few days before. in fact, we were going to a hotel for 500 people as a favor to a friend of mine and he said, this is crazy. we then went to a convention center. that was 10,000 and then a stadium for 31. there is a movement going on that is amazing to watch and it's beautiful to watch, the people love this country. >> what the heck? what question did i ask? i don't even know what it was! >> something. >> did i ask about stadiums? i don't know what the hell just happened. >> taste a trump rambling there. steven, is there a risk to doing late night for these candidates? >> i guess there's a risk. sometimes, a candidates or even

a president can say something that he wished he didn't in retrospect, but in reality, these candidates, the upside for going on these shows is much higher. they don't get the kind of penetrating policy questions they would if they did an interview with a conventional journalist. the audience of these shows is huge. it's a different kind of audience than the people that watch political talk shows. they go viral on social media. so they enable these politicians, not only to reach a wider audience but to put across a more human side of their personality to, you know, portray themselves as not the kind of stilted politician in a sterile environment that you on which see in, you know, normal political events. >> jamie, ben carson said he would meet with black lives matter. he is the only african-american candidate. if you were him, would you embrace the group more and champion their message? what would do you? >> you know, it's a fine line. politicians are basically brand and we buy products and brands

based on the messaging that we get from them. when you're ben carson, is actually similar to donald trump in the sense he is going forward with who he really is and not playing the political games. that said, anybody a as smart as ben carson is going to think clue what is the perception i'm giving if i meet with this group and he is playing the game and like everybody else and looking at the numbers and trying to figure out the best preach for him. the net/net for him he has to think through what the perception is people will have when he meets with various groups and make sure that that comes through in everything he does. >> stephen, perry took a big from trump essentially on his way out in a statement. and here is what he said, quote. the conservative movement has always been about principles, not personalities. our nominee must make the case for cause of conservatism more than the cause of their own celebrity. how much of this really is about celebrity? >> well, politics, in some ways, is the ultimate celebrity game.

if you look at how recent politicians going back to, perhaps, john f. kennedy, politicians and celebrity have been interlinked. it's interesting that rick perry sort of takes the tact that domp donald trump is a conservative and one that his party are starting to adopt. we should remember that donald trump was at 32% the last cnn poll at the republican electorate. that means there is around 65%, 70% republicans at this point who wouldn't vote for him in a nominating contest. the question becomes does there emerge an anti-trump candidate? we have 17 candidates or 16 candidates now in this case with perry's depart tour. the anti-trump vote. to stop trump or the establishment of the republican party or the true conservative wing of the republican party has to come up with a candidate to confront him and coalesce all of that support. that is what going to be very

interesting to watch over the next four or five months as we go up to the caucuses. >> jamie, how do you match that kind of branding and ease in front of the cameras he has? he is clearly very comfortable on tv. >> he really is. he is unscripted, which is part of his appeal of the trump brand is that he comes out and he doesn't say things that are disrupted and that makes people grab on him and follow what he is saying. at the other politicians that are out there, i'm sure very frustrated with that because they are saying, hey, when you peel away the onion and get down to the core of donald trump is, is that who you really want? right now, people are kind of taken by all of the celebrity that goes around it and really possibly not even thinking very deeply about some of his answers because he doesn't go very deep on his answers. when he is prodded about that and questioned about that he kind brushes it off. i agree with stephen in the since, sooner or on later the people polling for the other candidates have to make a decision and whether or not they

jump on the trump bandwagon is a question that remains to be seen. i would suspect that a lot of those people might find other candidates to back. >> part of the conversation that you hear from a lot of people is how does trump get away with it? rudy giuliani talked to wolf blitzer about that yesterday. listen to this. >> somehow, he can make that comment and it doesn't have the same impact as it would if i made that comment or dr. >> was it appropriate? >> he shouldn't be talking about her looks. of course, not. you usually would get a candidate in trouble. it has to tell you something is going on if he doesn't get him in trouble. there is something the public sees here and i think it's probably the fact that he is talking to them straight. it's not the same political, careful, worried about everything. i think the public just loves that. >> so talking, obviously, there about the comment that he made about carly fiorina. jamie, what do you think that "something" is that he talks

about that seems to make him so like you have to feel around him and nobody can touch him? >> i got to tell you, the core and appeal of his brand he is plain speaking. he gets away with stuff like that that other politicians would never get away with in a million years. he says sexist things and things that could be considered racist. he even pokes at john mccain. how does he get away with that? people must be so frustrated with the status quo they are saying we are going to forgive that and get somebody in who is plain speaking, and that is the appeal of donald trump, he is saying things, quote/unquote, people say behind the scenes only he is saying it in front of a camera and getting away with it. i'm surprised, as surprised about that as anybody is. >> stephen, quickly. only a couple of seconds. do you think this country is ready to hire as many call him trump, an entertainer, over a politician? >> i don't think so but the history would argue against that

but this is an election that has trashed every expectation and all of the expertise of the pundits so i guess why we have elections. we will find out. >> stephen and jamie, thank you for being with us today. we appreciate it. >> they said the same about ronald reagan. >> very good point. very good point. be sure to tune into the next republican presidential debate hosted by cnn wednesday, september 16th and starts at 6:00 p.m. eastern. up next, a little change of gears. refuges flood into europe. a flood of support in the streets of london. nearly 90,000 marchers have rsvp'd for a rally getting under way soon. we are live in that city. plus, devoured by wildfires. thousands of people evacuated from central california, as firefighters try to beat back those flames. also, 11 shootings along an arizona highway. now police are questioning a person of interest. what kind of information are police getting out of him?

officials brace for yet another wave of syrian refuges to pour into europe today. a show of slolidarity of people looking for a better life. charisse, what is happening right now? she is there live. >> reporter: well, martin, we are seeing a crowd gather today. they are coming here to march to push the british government to step up and do a little bit more in the syrian refuge crisis and the worst refuge kris they have faced since world war ii.

david cameron said earlier this week britain is to accept 25,000 refuges the next 25 years and critics say that number is insubstantial compared to what the other countries are taking in. namely, germany. the country is taking in as many as 10,000 refuges a day. we are talking over the span of two days, germany taking in the same number that britain has pledged to take in over the course of five years. the british citizenry are up in arms about this. take a listen to what an organizer of this march told us earlier today. >> i do want the british government to do more about syria. i think that we, as -- as -- as a worldwide community owe it to the people of syria to try to save their lives. i think they are being massacred from both sides and i think it's

terrifying for them. >> reporter: all right. that is one of the organizers that you heard right there. as you can see, the marchers are coming in right behind us now. this rally is just getting under way. the facebook page had a response of 90,000 people saying they would come out here to march. organizers aren't expecting that many but a wave of support is coming as you can see. they are planning to march down to the parliament and make their voices heard later today. >> thank you. we will check back with you. let's bring in ivan watson, cnn correspondent, who is along the greek/macedonia border with the latest going on there. ivan? >> joo we are just approaching the greek order with macedonia right now. the macedonian government says they are processing 1,000 to

2,000 refuges today coming from greece and they can probably expect that number to increase dramatically in the coming days. we were in the greek island of lesbo and you can see they were receiving some 50 rafts overloaded with migrants a day, 1,000 to 3,000 people and the greek government has been ferrying those people in short time to the greek capital. you can see how this migrant trail is unfolding and how greece is now working to try to help funnel along the migrants and refuges on this conveyor belt up to europe. many i talked to say they want to go to germany or sweden who have offered to welcome tens of thousands of them. >> sometimes the emotions of people when they arrive on the greek islands can be unpredictable. you had a perfect example of that. tell us about it. >> reporter: yeah. of course. these people have taken a

dangerous journey. by the time that they are loaded to these overloaded rafts to the greek islands from turkey, they are packed on board these barely sea worthy little dingies, basically, 40, 50, 60 people on board seven meter along board rafts and it's dangerous and they are working with smugglers and paying $1,300 per person and they are forking over the money to people who are essentially criminals smuggling people across the seas so when they land, they are overjoyed and cheering and one kissed me on my cheek when he landed on the beach. i saw refuges and migranting immediately dumping their life jackets which has become an unofficial uniform of these migrants and dumping them on the beach and then greek municipal workers scooping them up and

putting them in garbage bins. some of the beaches you have there in lesbo are litedtered wh life jackets and rafts left by these people when they arrive on land. thousands of californians are now being told to get out. this, as this inferno is raging ever closer to their homes. we will talk about what is happening there. four days and counting now until this big gop debate. all eyes on center stage. trump and fiorina on the same stage? what is going to happen? stay close. has a number.olicy but not every insurance company understands the life behind it. for those who've served and the families who've supported them, we offer our best service in return.

21 past the hour right now. new developments in the rash of shootings in downtown phoenix. police say they are now talking with a person of interest. that man taken for questioning less than 24 hours ago. oscar de la tory munoz was taken into custody and charged with marijuana. >> the 19-year-old has not been charged in connection with the highway shootings. take a look at where the shootings occurred the last two weeks. eleven vehicles have been struck by bullets or projectiles around the i-10 area. >> it could happen as you drive down the highway. this is an eight-mile stretch. i think that would be pretty difficult for investigators because that is a good, long stretch of highway there. and off highway areas to try to investigate.

jim de felice is joining us now. thank you for being with us. when you hear about this situation like this, you've profiled people. profile who this person might be, in your opinion, based on what you know. >> well, i think the first thing we can say is we know what he is not. he is not a trained military sniper. the profile of the sorts of shots that have been taken, the times they have been done, clearly this is not a person with military or police training. those people, it's as important to them when not to shoot and how to protect people and in order to get that kind of training, they have to be very well-balanced mentally. this is not that kind of person. >> you mean it's not military because, essentially, he's a bad shooter? fortunately, no be has been hit. >> absolutely. i don't want to downplay the danger and certainly if i was in

a vehicle and got hit, you know, that is not a good thing. but believe me, a military sniper or even a police sharp-shooter in this case is going to make a very different shot. there are definitely going to be fatalities. >> what is the concern here for law enforcement? >> absolutely. and when you look at the different shots, we have bb guns and pebellet guns and rifles, n to step on anybody's investigation. police are going to have to look at all of those things very carefully. this is the kind of, you know, thing that the police really have to dig into. you know, we get used to seeing police solve very complicated cases in an hour on, you know, csi or some other program, but the police really have pulled out all of the stops here. i know they are going to eventually get the guy. but it's a lot of hard work and

a lot of variations. >> investigations. >> i lived in phoenix for five years. it's a long stretch of highway and there are a lot of things around it, but an eight-mile stretch, i mean, how difficult does that make an investigation like this? >> well, absolutely. the other thing that is going on here are the police believe is going on here is possibility that some these shots are being taken from another vehicle, from a moving vehicle. now, that complications things when you're investigating quite a bit. it's not difficult to on take these shots. technical technically, these are easy shots. again, i'm not minimizing the danger to other people. i'm saying in order to investigate it, a lot of things that go into it so it's very complicated for the police to track down. >> jim de felice, thank you for your insights you're welcome. up next, the debate stage. it's set. donald trump, front and center

for wednesday's big event and certainly he is not the only candidate on the stage. who is going to give him a run for his money? plus -- >> serena, how disappointed are you? >> i don't want to talk about how disappointing it is for me. >> serena williams may not want to talk about her big upset, but we would love to hear from you. what is the biggest upset in sports history? tweet us at #newday. people don't have to think about

joining him on stage at this debate which is different from the last. a lot of people are wondering if he'll unleash more attacks, how they will respond face-to-face with each other. our national correspondent suzanne malveaux gives us some insight here. >> reporter: carly fiorina, the only woman joining her ten republican rivals on the stage in next wednesday and debate isn't holding back on her face-off with donald trump. >> leadership is not about the size of your office, the size of your airplane, the size of your helicopter. >> reporter: the former hewlett-packard ceo responding to trump's jab after he said this to "rolling stone." look at that face. would anyone vote for that? can you imagine that? the face of our next president? trump told fox news the controversial comment was made because he is an entertainer. >> many of those comments are made as an entertainer because i did "the apprentice." >> reporter: a different

explanation what he told cnn's "new day." >> i'll talking about hearn persona. >> reporter: a decked say in a row bobby jindal blasted trump comparing him to martin sheen. >> i'm winning in all of the polls. >> reporter: ben carson is in fer ferguson, missouri, meeting civil leaders. a year after the death of michael brown. carson refused to engage with trump's attacks. >> do i want to respond to donald trump's charges? the answer is no. i really don't. >> reporter: carson is tangled with trump over faith and the critical evangelical vote and i sat down with carson and asked him about his faith. >> it's very easy for them to see that, you know, my faith is not something i come by lightly. >> reporter: trump has gone after carson on his views for abortion. >> he was heavy into the world of abortion. >> i've never done abortions and

wouldn't approve of it and never have. >> reporter: i also asked him how he is preparing for the upcoming debate. >> by living my life, by having town hall meetings where i don't screen the questions. that's probably the best preparation. >> reporter: dr. carson stressed the need for respect and dialogue. he said he visited ferguson to deemphasize the divisiveness of race. one group he has not met with is black lives matter who criticized in the past. he says he is now open to talking to them. suzanne malveaux, cnn, ferguson, missouri. >> i don't know if we have mentioned it but that debate wednesday is right here on cnn and we want to talk more about it because it is just such a hugely anticipated political event. the super bowl, if you will. joining me now is maria cordono and kathy lynn taylor. >> good morning. >> good morning.

to you first, kathy. let's talk about stage placement. how will donald trump do you think fare between jeb bush and ben carson and two who he has mocked extensively this week. >> trump raeealize there is no in team but he has worked into this exceptionally well. the question is going to be, i mean, the one thing consistent about trump he is unpredictable and i don't know how that is going to play for him down the road in a broader audience. he keeps saying the evangelicals love me. but when you look at a recent poll, it shows that actually carson is ahead with the evangelicals. trump is doing well with the tea party which makes much more sense with their coffer change. i think he still has a long road to go. >> let's listen to more of donald trump last night from jimmy fallon and asked to say

something nice about carly fiorina. >> i think she is a really nice woman. a really nice woman. am i doing a good job? i don't know. i haven't met her. i think she is a nice woman. i think she is going to have a hard time. she had a rough past corporately and i think she is a nice woman and she should be on the main stage at the debate and she is going to be. >> he always makes it sound like he made that happen. i'm wondering, mr., how long can he get away with this or will he always be able to get away with this kind of talk? >> martin, i think it's all going to depend on his republican rivals and i think this has been the big issue with everyone who is going up against trump, up until now be, because it hasn't been until recently that they have had to put on their big boy pants and actually go after him for completely inappropriate sexist, misogynist comments he has been making and try to convince voters this is not somebody that they really

want to be representing their country on a global stage as commander in chief. so i think what this debate is going to be so interesting is carly fiorina is going to be two people down from donald trump and how is she going to go after him? how is he going to debate, you know, like you said, jeb bush on one side and carson on the other? i think the other candidates have a terrific opportunity to go into policy details, though, it's going to be very challenging because, as you know in debates, you don't get a whole lot of time and this is a stage that, up until now, donald trump has shown he is the master. so it's going to be difficult for the other candidates. >> he is definitely shown that. let me ask you this. we believe, of course, that hillary clinton is going to be watching this or will she and i wonder who is she rooting for? >> it's interesting. she said very recently, again, commenting on inappropriate way that donald trump has up until now treated women, that she would love to go up against him

and debate him. so i do think that she feels that way. i think that many democrats would feel that way and so, you know, whether she watches it or not, i think that if she does like other democrats they will grab popcorn and beer because it's entertainment like wwe raw of people wrestle and tune into the gop debate. >> it could be a case of be careful what you wish for. kathy lynn, your predictions who is going to win this debate on wednesday. >> i think it's going to be very interesting to see. you know, look. it's like the ncaa tournament. if you play well, it's a long season. and i think we have some republican candidates that are going to have a very, very long season. what is important is, you know, that they come out top in iowa. i think while carly is going to be very well and christie will be vying for air time on wednesday evening, i really think that the debate is going to be a trump/carson show and

don't count jeb out. he is a savvy effective politician and one a state that is large and a border state and more akin to the rest of america than iowa is and he is extremely well-funded and has a lot of support in the party and see if he can have a moment on wednesday night as well. no doubt, everybody is going to have eyes on trump for sure. >> absolutely, they will. that's part of the reason they tune in. maria, kathy, thank you both for your insights this morning. >> thank you, martin. be sure to tune in yourself for the next republican presidential debate hosted by cnn, wednesday, september 16th and it starts at 6:00 p.m. eastern. i really can't wait for this. >> we are all going to be watching, no doubt about it. i know a lot of you are watching this iran deal. it is secure now. what are people in iran, though, saying about it? how is president obama going to solidify its implementation? also, wildfires ripping through central california. thousands of residents have been evacuated and we will tell you

joining us is derrick van damme. >> this is an unpredictable inferno. look at the steep hillsides. we have triple digit heat and low humidity and leading to the factors for this fire and blaze to continue. now, over the west of the u.s., we have currently 34 active large fires, roughly 8.8 million acres burned this year but the butte fire we pay close attention to. you can see on the map below me the ongoing fire is taking place at the moment. as we zoom into the foothills of the sierra nevadas you is key the fire raging over two separate counties at the moment. 6,400 structures threatened from this raging inferno that is expanding and unpredictable and changing directions at a moment's notice. forecast calls another hot day

and even tomorrow. but there some relief in sight. in fact, we are starting to see the remnants what is tropical storm linda and bring in much-needed rainfall and helping to battle the wildfire. >> it can't come soon enough. thanks, derek. >> thanks. the house of representatives votes to reject the iran deal. it doesn't really matter, though. we will explain next. plus, two filmmakers killed in a plane crash after wrapping a tom cruise movie. wiback like it could used to? neutrogena hydro boost water gel. with hyaluronic acid it plumps skin cells with intense hydration and locks it in. for supple, hydrated skin. hydro boost. from neutrogena rubut then i got ap domain and built my website all at godaddy.

new this morning. now that the president has sealed that iran nuclear deal, the tough task of implementing it now begins. the house of representatives voted to reject the deal after an emotional debate but since the senate has already blocked the disapprove measure the house measure was largely symbolic. the iran supreme leader continues to blast the united states and says israeli wouldn't exist in 25 years. frederik pleitgen is live from tehran. fred, i'm just wondering how ordinary are iranians reacting to the fact that sanctions >> reporter: it's a good question and it's a mixed bag of

reactions here from the political elites in this country. if you look at the polls here in iran and speak to the majority on the ground, they are thrilled this has come through and want the sanctions to be lifted as soon as possible. you sense optimism here in iran. the iranians feel because they have a young, well-educated population in dire need of this, they are well-poised for economic development. on the other hand, you have the elite here in this country, many of the conservatives, who feel that iran didn't get a good deal in the nuclear agreement, especially if you look at the military and the conservative clergy. when you look at the remark that is the supreme leader has made about america still being the great satan, the ones about israel as well, they do appear as though they ponder to that constituency. because it's the conservatives

really the staunchest backers of the supreme leader. it looks as though he's trying to make them feel as though there will be some change here in iran and it won't come very quickly, martin. >> it's interesting because there are people who feel that way in this country. there are report that is iran has found high uranium reserves. is that going to change the deal in terms? maybe fred can no longer hear me. are you still with me, fred? that would seem to be a no. we'll check back with fred pleigton later. new developments here this morning, a series of shooting along the highway in phoenix. police identified a person of interest. we are taking you live to phoenix as there are these fears that the next incident certainly could be fatal. also, just days ago the new yorker declared serena williams america's greatest athlete.

targeting arizona drivers? a copy-cat possibly on the loose as police question at least one person of interest. and armed civilians want to help solve this crime. i fully think apologizing is a great thing. but you have to be wrong if you are not wrong. like, for instance -- >> one candidate makes jokes and another one drops out. the shake-up just days before the cnn gop debate. and president obama saying every country needs to do more to help the syrian refugees. so how the u.s. figures out which refugees to allow in. it is always so good to have your company. thank you for being with us on this saturday. i'm christie paul. >> i'm martin savage in for victor blackwell. >> he would be foolish not to be here or want to be here. good to have you here.

police are saying they are now talking with a person of interest in the arizona shootings. osc oscar munoz was his name. he is not charged with anything so far. >> 11 vehicles have been struck by bullets or projectiles near i-10. as you can imagine, everyone in that town is on edge. and there is a group of armed civilians now patrolling their own areas. sara sidner is joining us now from phoenix. what are authori telling us about this person of interest? >> reporter: it's really interesting because yesterday i talked to police about the detention they made. and they said, look, we need to spend time questioning this person. it is in correction with the

i-10 shooting. but we want to ask questions about a lot of things and the i-10 shootings are going to come up. now they have arrested that same person but on a completely different much, much lesser charge. a charge of possession of marijuana. 19-year-old -- he was brought in during a traffic stop. they brought both he and a woman in. but then they let the woman go saying they didn't believe she had anything to do with anything. she was let go but we really want to spend time talking to this person and want to continue the investigation. but we have to be clear here. they are not even calling mr. nunez a suspect. he is 19 years old and being questioned, they are continuing to question him on this potential link with the i-10 shooting. they are also telling people that this investigation is by no means over and they are asking people to continue to call in tips.

after nearly two weeks with at least 11 vehicles hit with bullets or projectiles along an eight-mile stretch of interstate 10, dps troopers are now questioning a man in connection with the shooting. >> we are calling him a person of interest. but we really wanted to talk to him about a lot of things. so it's fair to say that this will probably come up. but we basically want to spend some time with him to find out what he knows. >> reporter: the man along with a woman were detained at a traffic stop. investigators released the woman but continued questioning then ma. what can you tell me about the circumstances that led you to tip-related or is this something investigators figured out? >> it is reasonable to say it's a combination of the two. >> reporter: be no one has been arrested and police are asking citizens to call in any other tips. one happened on interstate 17 and the other off interstate 10 to determine if they are linked to the interstate shooting

spree. interstate 10 has been a target for shooter or shooters. cars and big rigs have been hit during all times of day or night with no pattern. this is one of many dps drivers along the shooting zone. >> it's never a one-man situation. and that's from the troopers to the police department to the citizens. it's a total team effort. >> reporter: this is not the first time police and the public here have had to deal with serial roadway shootings. a decade ago eight people were killed as two gunmen stocked the roadways in phoenix. that case took more than a year to solve. the man heading the current investigation was a lieutenant working at the phoenix police department during those shootings. >> that was what they called a serial shooter case. they were literally driving down roads and with a 410-caliber gun they were walking down the street and shooting them.

>> reporter: and that case took 15 months to called. do you know how it was cracked? a friend heard two men bragging about the fact they were shooting people and went to police. martin and christi? >> sara sidner, thank you so much. we'll dive into this further with a former investigator. jonathan, you heard officials say he's 19 years old. they want to talk to this person of interest about a lot of things. does that tell you that perhaps he's been on their radar for a while? >> it definitely tells me that the police don't just detain somebody for this long with this amount of questioning unless they have something to go on. first and foremost, they went directly to him. they didn't find him on the side of the road shooting. that tells us it was probably a tip. or a source came and told them this stuff. so they went to him, got him and arrested or detained him. they are saying detained him.

at some point this is going to turn into an arrest or eventually let him go. but i would have to say he's probably somebody that is on their radar for some certain reason and probably told somebody something that came back to the cops. >> at what point does somebody transfer from a person of interest to a suspect? >> so basically the difference between detention and arrest. when law enforcement has basically a reasonable suspension, they can detain somebody to figure out a further investigation to either clear them or find out what their role is in it. when it comes to arresting them, they actually -- the burden of broof is heavier in order for them to then place that person under arrest where your rights actually change. right now it's kind of that fuzzy area. >> and i'm sure that they are probably trying to get some information out of him. as sara mentioned, there's no pattern here. it's happening any time of the day. the shootings are in any vehicle

on i-10 at the time. do you suspect that this is a one-person suspect incident? or do you suspect there are more people involved here? >> well, it could go one of two ways. it could be where it looks like there's no pattern. the pattern is actually that it's on the same road and that you can start looking at the times of day that this has happened and you can then -- like with this person of interest, you can look at the times of day and how their day normally unfolds and kind of put together a puzzle to say, maybe the reason the shootings have been happening is because he has a job or goes to school and gets out and does it. the other thing is potentially once these things get into the news, then copy-cats can spread and come to the area. but let me just say one thing, christi, there's technology out there called the boomerang. there's other technology similar to this that the military uses that is a gunshot locator.

and i really think that the department of homeland security and the fbi should start purchasing these so that when they deploy all these people to something like this, which is happening over and over, they can actually send this stuff out to law enforcement and loan it to them. so that what they do is, they can put it in an area where this is happening and when a gunshot goes off, it uses microphones to locate the area very quickly where that shot is coming from. >> very interesting. jonathan guilliam, i always learn something. appreciate it. new this morning we have surveillance video from the manhattan hotel where former tennis player james blake was tackled and body slammed. he was standing casually in front of the hotel when suddenly the undercover cop sits on him and attacks him leading him away. new york major bill de blasio and william bratton have

apologized to blake for a case of mistaken identity. but blake says that's not enough. so let's bring in cnn's boris sanchez. what is blake asking the nypd to do? >> reporter: martin, he's asking for a concerted effort to keep this from happening again. we got video of the incident yesterday from the nypd. and in a lot of ways it corroborates some of the things that blake was saying about the incident. if you watch closely, the officer is not in uniform and does not appear to be wearing a badge. it also looks like blake doesn't try to flee. he says now he's using this incident as a platform to improve relations between police and the community. he writes in part, quote, which enth when this incident was reported in the news media, both william bratton and bill de blasio called to apologize. but he also said he's pushing

for a financial commitment from the nypd to try to improve relations two entbetween the pod the people they serve. and we are also learning more from the officer who tackled james blake. he's facing two separae civil suits for similar incidents. and he's accused of using excessive force to take down two people that he was trying to arrest. not including a potential third lawsuit now for this incident. cnn has reached out to officer prescatori but he has yet to respond. >> thank you very much. stay tuned because james blake will be right here on cnn live at 12:00 noon today with fret ri fr fredericka whitfield. and we have a political pattern who has a lot to say

about that republican shakeup. and thousands of people are getting ready to march any moment now. they are calling on the government to welcome in more refugees. we'll look at the impact this crisis could have on the united states as well. and just days before the start of the annual pilgrimage to mecca, a construction accident kills more than 100 there. sand and rain turned into a twisted pile of glass and concrete. we'll tell you what is happening in just a few minutes. my rough and bumpy skin makes me feel really self-conscious.

[ female announcer ] gold bond rough & bumpy skin therapy. used daily, it reduces bumps 72%. gold bond. we have a tremendous field of candidates.

probably the greatest group of men and women. i step aside from our party knowing we are in good hands as long as we listen to the grassroots and cause for conservativism. if we do that, then our party will be in good hands. >> the republicans have had their first dropout. i'm talking about presidential hopefuls because the field is getting a little smaller just days before the second debate. rick perry as you heard there says he's hitting the silk politically and leaving. so what does that mean for the 15 candidates joining cnn wednesday for the second republican debate? let's talk about all of it. and we are joining by cnn political commentator and former reagan white house political director jeffrey lore along with the host of "the ben ferguson

show," ben ferguson. >> good morning. >> good morning to both of you. thank you for getting up bright and early to talk all things political. let me start with you, ben, if you are on the quote/unquote happy hour debate stage, how does this change your strategy? or does it at all? >> if you're in the earlier debate, i think you've got to talk policy more than you have to attack anybody on the main stage. it worked for carly fiorina. and a lot of people who watched the first debate -- you're inside baseball, very connected and tuned into politics and maybe more substance and more just watching for the antics and fireworks of donald trump and everyone else. so if you're on that stage, i think the best thing you can do is really make yourself standout by looking like you know how to deal with problems and you have plans specifically and ideas on how to move the plans forward. and that could catapult you just like it did with carly last time, moving you to the big stage. and there's also opportunity

with rick perry gone. so those people on the earlier stage will get a lot of tv time desperately needed for every one of their campaigns. >> jeffrey, who could break out as a result of this and having this opportunity? >> you know, frankly, i honestly don't really think there's anybody there that's left that's going to score very big. or i think they would have already. i think that carly fiorina has stood out, not just because she's a woman but because she's a business executive and outsider like donald trump and ben carson. i think that's why she's stood out here. the rest of the group are essentially politicians. and, you know, take note that when they did this the last time, the physical audience for it wasn't very big. and i suspect, you know, that might be a problem for some of these folks. >> and jeffrey, while i've got you, this is trump's second time around and knows the others are out there trying to target him. what does he do differently or does he do anything differently?

>> he just keeps on being donald trump. that's what has gotten him here and he'll keep going. if somebody attacks him, i'm sure he'll go back at them. it was interesting when he was on "jimmy fallon" and was talking about carly fiorina and said, she's a nice woman and all this kind of thing -- you know, let's keep in mind some of this, for all the candidates in their own fashion, is showbiz. and they go after people and all that sort of thing. i don't really think they think, you know, so-and-so is a terrible person. but it's politics. and the old saying there from mr. douley in the 17th century, politics ain't beanbag. >> now that we have that phrase, what is do you think of that? >> i'm going to write that down. >> why don't you chant that phrase? >> i think if you are up on that stage and debating donald trump, you have to stay true to who you are as a candidate.

don't try to go out there and out-trump trump, because that will get you in trouble. donald trump is one of the better counter punchers or political trash talkers. i'll give him full credit for that. and if you get into a full war of words and are not quick on your feet, it can end up hurting you. that's one of the biggest pieces of advice i would give. the other thing is if you are on stage with donald trump, i also think you need to make it clear that you can be your own candidate with ideas. ben carson is a 180 from donald trump. they are completely different candidates and he's been able to surge. ben carson said i'm not going to be donald trump. i'm going to be who i am. you can say i'm calm but guess what, i have ideas and plans. i have perspective on certain things in a unique way, specifically obamacare and health care. and that's been able to connect with him. but if you're on the end of the stage, if you're chris christie or someone like that, mike huckabee, i think you have to let people know you're there and just because you're not high in

the polls right now doesn't mean that your campaign is over. because now people are looking for that next rick perry, the next dropout. i think they have to, in many ways, take bigger chances and bigger risks against donald trump to get people to realize, hey, we are still here. i'm still running for president. don't forget about me. >> ben ferguson, we've got to put a lid on it there. jeffrey lord and ben ferguson, thank you. we'll talk about this again. be sure to tune into the next debate hosted by cnn this wednesday starting at 6:00 eastern. don't miss it. and you know, it's turning into a familiar campaign stop it seems, a trip to late night television. donald trump just made his first visit to "swjimmy fallon." and firefighters say this fire is inching closer and closer to homes in california. look at these pictures we're getting in. we'll tell you more.

unless the federal appeals court steps in. she lost an appeal in a lower court to try to get the judge intervene on her behalf to tell the state not to force her to issue licenses. but it didn't go her way. so we will see what happens on monday. go, go! >> look how fast and furious these firefighters are working to battle the raging butte fire in sacramento, california, so far. 65,000 acres burned and thousands of people from san andreas have been told to get out. because the wildfire is just moving so quickly toward their homes. look at these pictures, california governor jerry brown declared a state of emergency. cnn meteorologist derek van dam is joining us now. we know weather so often is a factor here. how is it shaping up today? >> well, it's unfortunately so

unpredictable. in fact, this fire has just been fueled by the aaa heat we have had here, the low humidity levels and the ongoing drought that continues to take place. and we're talking about this being extremely volatile. san andreas, you were talking about it a second ago, that particular area had its mandatory evacuation lifted temporarily because the fire simply changed directions. but those people are poised to move at a moment's notice because they know that this fire could change directions once again. 34 active large fires over the western u.s. that equates to about 8.6 million acres burned so far. and this butte fire is the one we continue to play close attention to burning across two countries as we speak, over 65,000 acres burned. this one just blowing up over the past couple of days. and unfortunately there's around 6400 structures that are currently threatened from this fire. now the weather forecast not looking too promising today or tomorrow. but notice the cooling trend into monday, tuesday and wednesday as we broaden this view across the rest of

california. you can see that cooling trend pretty uniform across los angeles, sacramento and vegas as well. this is all thanks to the remnants of tropical storm linda that will bring some much needed relief helping to battle some of the blazes out here. christi, back to you. >> we appreciate it. thank you. concerning reports that russia could building military presence in syria. coming up, what president obama says how it may change our core strategy. and how does the united states pick the syrian refugees allowed to enter our country? we'll talk to human rights watch next. ♪

get help right away for unexpected bleeding, unusual bruising, or tingling. if you have had spinal anesthesia while on xarelto®, watch for back pain or any nerve or muscle related signs or symptoms. do not take xarelto® if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. tell your doctor before all planned medical or dental procedures. before starting xarelto®, tell your doctor about any kidney, liver, or bleeding problems. xarelto® has been prescribed more than 11 million times in the u.s. and that number's growing. like your guys' scores. with xarelto® there is no regular blood monitoring, and no known dietary restrictions. treatment with xarelto® was the right move for us. ask your doctor about xarelto®.

welcome back. it was a picture that made the world and president obama take notice. you know the one i'm talking about, the haunting image of the lifeless toddler that washed ashore at a turkish beach after he and his family fled syria. >> president obama said friday that picture should prompt every country to find a way to help deal with the european migrant crisis. he's already taking action. the u.s. will accept at least 10,000 refugees, syrian refugees, in the next fiscal year. we are joining live from washington now, and the president is also speaking about new concerns regarding the report that russia is increasing military presence in syria. what are you hear iing? >> reporter: we are hearing from president obama for the first time since russia has been ramping up their military presence in syria. and he sent a warning shot to president obama and went a step

farther than other officials in recent days when he said the intentions of syria as of now are unclear, but president obama took that again one step farther, really intimating that they believe at this point that it is russia trying to crop up syrian president bashar al assad. he's what president obama said on friday. >> it appears now that assad is worried enough that he's inviting russian advisors in. and russian equipment in. and that won't change our core strategy, which is to continue to put pressure on isil in iraq and syria. but we are going to be engaging russia to let them know that you can't continue to double down on a strategy that's doomed to fail. >> reporter: and the u.s. has been trying for some time to try to reach out, really gauge russia's interest in trying to

join the efforts and try to reach a political settlement in syria. so certainly the recent moves by russia not only causes concern because it could complicate the coalition fight against isis, but there you saw president obama really hinting that it could also complicate the efforts to reach a political settlement, have bashar al assad step down or begin a power-sharing agreement. i have to say, christi and martin, this will be a hot topic heading to the general assembly later this month in new york. >> no doubt, sunlen serfaty, thank you so much. and now we have sarah with us, 10,000 refugees coming to the united states within a year, help us understand the protocol here and the process. >> sure. thanks for having me. this is a really important first step that the president has announced. you know, i think it's not quite

enough if you look at the scale of refugees fleeing syria, which is 4 million, and you put it in the context of global ref rugee crisis. it's an important step the white house has announced to work with congress to make sure there's an adequate budget. they have to work with the state to settle these negotiations. hopefully we'll see more down the line with the united states. >> this is something part of the conversation as well. is there concern that some isis militants or operatives may infiltrate themselves in these groups that are fleeing syria? and in doing so, obviously, so they can attack other countries? how do you -- how do you make certain that that doesn't happen? what is the process or how does the u.s. determine who gets in and who does not? >> so the u.s. has an incredibly rigorous security and background

check, particularly since 9/11 for those who want to enter the united states. it is not just that you check a box and are brought into the united states. there are interviews with the department of homeland security, state department medical checks, it's a very bureaucratic heavy process to make sure that the people who are trying to come to the united states are actually those who are in need and fleeing persecution. >> when we talk about the 10,000 people who will be coming, once they get here, once they get acclima acclimated, is this seen as a permanent move, not just by them but by the u.s.? do they believe these people will work and be here for years and years? >> for the most part, people who want to come to the united states are trying to come here because it's the land of opportunity and a place they feel they can rebuild their lives and be active and engaged members of society. when they first get here, they may not do the jobs they have been set up to do originally or educated originally for in syria. but over time there are local opportunities and local organizations. and in some cases established

communities to help them rebuild their lives in the direction that makes sense to them. >> you mentioned that you thought we should be taking more in. the u.s. has been taking in more refugees every year since 2011 when 23 people were admitted. just to give you numbers, 249 last year. more than 1100 this year. do you think after this 10,000 that number is going to stay steady in the thousands? >> well, you know, the united states is a generous country. and i think there's a lot of room to accept more refugees from syria and from elsewhere. in the case of syria accepting more refugees annually shouldn't be seen as an overall problem and the lack of real comprehensive policy to address the conflict and the people fleeing such incredibly terrible violence. but it's an important first start, first step. >> all right. sarah margon, so good to have your insight. thank you for being here. >> thank you for having me. tens of thousands are

marching through the streets of london as an issue of solidarity with all the men, women and children desperate to find shelter and a better life. and to demand more action from the u.k. government. cnn is there with the latest. >> reporter: marchers are gathering in london and they admit that up to 65,000 people will come out today. they are going to put pressure on the british government. the prime minister said they are planning to accept 25,000 refugees over the next five years, but critics say that's not enough. that is insufficient compared to other country. germany is taking in 800,000 migrants by the end of the year. a german official told cnn this morning they are taking in

10,000 migrants a day. so we're talking over a span of two days germany is taking in what david cameron is saying that britain will take in over the next five years. supporters at the event tell us they want this government to do more. they are saying that refugees are welcomed here and that there is space here in the u.k. for them. and an organizer of this event told us she just wants to see more action and that it is, i believe the word she said was appalling, that the world is turning its back on syria. >> sherisse pham, thank you. a construction crash on one of the largest mosques in the world. more than 100 people inside died. we'll tell you what they believe caused that to happen. also, donald trump making the late night circuit with jimmy fallon last night. and nothing is off limits. diabetes, steady is exciting.

that is some absolutely shocking footage from saudi arabia with a crane coming crashing down on a mosque killing at least 107 people. you're looking at amateur video that captured that moment and the chaotic scene after. officials are blaming the accident on powerful sandstorms. the largest mecca mosque there

is where this happened. we are hearing the investigation is underway, ian, what are they looking for? >> reporter: there are a few things they are looking at. first off, was this crane secured or was there a default that could have caused it to topple over like that. we are also looking at how the weather may have been involved. this was a freak thunderstorm that was taking place. winds gusting up to 50 miles per hour. heavy rain mixed with sand. there was lightning, could it have contributed to this crane falling over? but we also need to note that there are over a dozen other cranes of similar size that were surrounding the mosque at the same time. they didn't fall over. they are going to be looking through those cell phone videos as well to see if there are any details there to really understand how this accident happened.

really, over 100 people were killed. they were quite lucky, if this would have happened an hour later when people gathered to pray, that toll would have been a lot higher. >> and we know this tragedy comes just days before millions of people are expected to make the pilgrimage on the hajj. do you think the numbers in any way will be impacted as a result of safety concerns? >> reporter: well, of course the saudi government is going to need to reassure those pilgrims that it is safe, that they can come and that they will have a safe, secure experience. and it is unlikely, though, that this will really deter anyone ultimately as doing the hajj is one of the five pillars of islam that's required. anyone who is financially or physically able to do, any muslim has to complete that. here in egypt, people save their entire lives just to go on this. so it is unlikely it will really

deter anyone from doing it. but of course, the saudi government does need to reassure them. this expansion of the grand mosque was to make it safer, was to expand it so that they could have those 2 million people in that area safely, secured. so they are going to have to answer that question. is it going to be safe? but saudi officials right now looking into those questions. >> ial lee joining us from cairo this morning. thank you. well, if you can handle it, it's two times the trump on late night tv. fallon and oh, you've got to hand it to him, goes face to face with the gop front-runner. but with four days before the cnn debate, can any of the other candidates catch up? and did you know a million people were googling robert ta vinci? who is this italian marvel. my moderate to severe chronic plaque psoriasis

made a simple trip to the grocery store anything but simple. so finally, i had an important conversation with my dermatologist about humira. he explained that humira works inside my body to target and help block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to my symptoms. in clinical trials, most adults saw 75% skin clearance. and the majority were clear or almost clear in just 4 months. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. ask your dermatologist about humira. because with humira clearer skin is possible. i work on the cheerios team. and when i found out that my daughter-in-law,

shows that the audience and candidates can't get enough of? >> well, they have a chance to humanize themselves, show they are about more than policy, right? and donald trump on fallon was interesting last night because we had not seen him in a late night environment. ever since he announced for president. we all know he has a bit of an ego. he's not the most sel self-deprecating person, but he did have fun. this is the man in the mirror skit on fallon last night. >> the only one qualified to interview me is me. >> me interviewing me, that's what i call a great idea. >> of course it's a great idea. we thought of it.

okay, interview time. question one, are you ready for the republican debate next week? >> you know, the truth is, i'm always ready. it's really going to be a big debate, but i'm always ready. >> it's not just big, it's huge! huge! huge! huge! huge! huge! >> you know, he's able to show and laugh a little at himself. that's a valuable trait sometimes. i was at 30 rock for the taping and it was a spent call. many people lined up to see trump leave the building. he was tweeting all about it last night and this morning. >> potentially these kind of appearances can also get you into trouble. >> oh, sure. >> and i'm wondering, how far can you take it? how far can you take the humor, especially with donald trump? >> people perceive him to be an entertainer as well as a presidential candidate. he himself has called himself an entertainer.

and an appearance like this is exactly what we're seeing. as we see the world of politics and entertainment blur to the point where sometimes it's hard to recognize what we're watching. but the late night shows are for that. we'll see hillary clinton on fallon next week. we're going to see trump back in late night on stephen colbert's show in two weeks. but the shows are at moments a chance for serious conversation. we did see trump repeating his politic positions and taking on hillary clinton. >> what do you think we're going to find in hillary clinton's e-mails? >> i think a lot of bad stuff. she has a server in her bathroom at her place in denver? what is going on? it's wrong. >> reporter: i thought there were six words that perfectly encapsulated the presidential primary cycle. he said of all his 15 rivals on the republican side, he said, to me they are all the same. and if we know one thing about trump, it's that he stands out

from all the rest. >> he definitely does do that. thank you so much for the insight. you can catch brian on sunday as he hosts "reliable sources" at 11:00 a.m. good to see you, brian. just ahead, four gop presidential candidates are going to be gathering in iowa today. and serena williams was defeated by an unknown italian player. who is this roberta vinci? tylen has two layers of pain relief. the first is fast. the second lasts all day. we give you your day back. what you do with it is up to you. tylenol®.

wrong in an nfl game you want to blame the new england patriots. but they had nothing to do with the latest headset problem. the steelers' headsets apparently were not working. the nfl was quick to take blame saying they fault no manipulation and that the patriots had nothing to do with it. they blamed bad weather and the stadium's power system. well, serena williams is most likely waking up this morning and she, like so many, still in shock over her u.s. open loss. her hopes for that grand slam were just crushed. and a lot of people were cheering her on thinking the same thing. the number one player in the world was unseeded by roberta vinci of italy. andy shoales is joining us live from the u.s. open. you are there, what was that moment like when she realized she lost? i mean, for everybody there. >> reporter: christi, everyone

was just in shock at what just happened. no one could believe that serena just lost to relatively unknown roberta vinci. her chance at the grand slam was now over. and no one expected roberta vinci to come into the match to win. and it's funny, all the fans disappointed they don't get to see serena go for that grand slam, especially all the tickets for the final today. and cinci/ -- vinci actually apologized for beating serena. >> i was a little bit sorry for this because for me she cannot reach the grand slam. >> reporter: roberta vinci said she never could beat serena. >> it's amazing. >> reporter: she actually already booked a flight for saturday to go back home.

>> maybe i can -- maybe, eh? >> reporter: her plan to keep the ball in play and keep running worked as she played the match of her life. >> i played good today. if you don't play good, you cannot win against her, especially. >> reporter: at 33 years old, she's the oldest grand slam player in the open era. but she's full of energy. >> coffee. i like so much coffee. really. >> reporter: and right now she's on top of the world. >> i am good right now. maybe i can touch the sky with my fingers. >> reporter: vinci is quite the character and later today will be talking on vladia. it is pretty beautiful out here right now, but we are expecting rain later this afternoon.
