>> i never dreamt that someone like me could be elected as mayor of london. and i want to say thank you to every single londoner for making the impossible possible today. >> reporter: sadik khan is the son of a london bus driver. he mentioned that a few times through his campaign. his parents were pakistani immigrants. they lived in public housing, he went to state schools. he then became a lawyer, a member of parliament and minister. 12% are muslims and many are thrilled about his new job. >> i think it's a big victory. i'm feeling proud. you see the frustration going on with muslims around the world. >> reporter: khan's win defines a win among nations. >> donald j. trump is calling for a total and complete

shutdown of muslims entering the united states. >> reporter: across america and europe islam has become an often fearle political issue after large terror strikes in the u.s., france and belgium. londers have also known terrorism and lived with its constant threat. his win shows many are comfortable with the clear difference between those who live with it and difficulty. his cultural and political office, the wealthy white conservative party candidate zack goldsmith tried to link khan to people said to support radical islam. former conservatives, david cameron repeated the claims. >> he stood on a platform -- >> reporter: it was dismissed as racism, perhaps to smear khan

with extremism as he voted in favor of legalizing gay marriage. >> and i'm so proud that london has today chosen hope over fear and unity over division. >> reporter: the mayor of london manages day-to-day issues like planning, transport, housing and police. it's a big job, but it's not the stuff of big political vision. sadik khan's election marks an historic and cultural master for an international city long proud of its diversity. phil black, cnn, london. on to pakistan floushgs has been another called honor murder. the victim of 15-year-old girl. she spent her last moments inside the van you see here which was set on fire. it was not an accident, but punishment for helping a friend. our senior international correspondent clarissa ward has this report. >> reporter: a horrific crime

committed in some warped idea of honor. a 15-year-old girl murdered. the charred skeleton found in a village in northern pakistan last week. authorities say the girls who name was ambrien helped a female friend. the couple escaped. a local council or jirga ordered her execution. >> translator: this was not a jirga of elders, it was a jirga. >> reporter: they tied her body to a van and setting it on fire. more than a dozen people are now under arrest including the victim's mother who investigators say knew about the order to kill her daughter but did nothing to stop it or call police. pakistan's prime minister condemned the brutal crime in a statement saying such a barbaric

act is not only dishonest, but inhuman it's not honor killing but just plain murder. >> i think it's tip of iceberg, a number of these cases are coming out of reports case, if you look at the scale. >> reporter: hundreds of girls are killed by relatives every year in pakistan, according to the country's independent human rights commission. and experts believe many of these murders go unreported. the suspects under arrest for her murder now face trial, but human rights activists caution few of these kinds of cases go to court. for many, justice remains elusive. clarissa ward, cnn, london. earlier this year, a pakistani filmmaker tackled this very issue she even won an honor for the documentary.

she told cnn about the difficulties in approaching such a contentious topic. >> instead of taking her home, they took her to a dark wooded forest, shot her at point black, and threw her in the river and she survived. she was engaged to a young man and was about to get married and her uncle opposed the wedding. so she had to run away and get married to imin a court. it was amazing she was alive. when she is shot her in her face, she put her hand and moved her face. the bullet hit her hand and not her face. people actually thought honor killing was not a crime. at the end of the film, the father when he's released from jail says now his stature in

society has become much more. that his other daughters are getting proposals of marriage because people think he's an other thanable man. >> many activists blame them. it's become all too common some pakistan, nearly 1100 women were killed by relatives in pakistan alone. this according to the country's independent human rights commission. 143 of those victims were set on fire or attacked with acid. and between 2004 and 2017, more than 8600 girls and women have died in pakistan in called honor murders. the government in pakistan has spoken out against these murder, including the most recent one. my colleague spoke to a women's rights activist who said the government needs to take action beyond just condemning the killings. >> it's part of a systematic

agreement by the pakistani government of allowing the tribal councils to have random authority over the population. to me, this is no different than paris, extending from the exact same roots of traditional men think they go can kill anybody who do not agree with them. now, today say woman. a person with a different mind-set about traditions. day after day, it's coming from the exact same route. allowing traditional tribal council to rule and they have the authorities and the chutzpah, the guts, to kill whoever they want. so we have to look at the systematic reason why this is happening. >> now, you do have the prime minister sharif saying is this not an honor killing, they says it's inhuman. do you feel some of that may just be lip service?

and how then do you minimize the power of these local tribal council, how can that be done? >> well, culture by definition is an evolving set of values that adapt to modern day need and reality. i do not think that qualicultur due to one behavior. but we also have to walk the walk and not talk the talk. it means that we have to actually put the tribal leaders accountable for judicial law and law. it means countries like pakistan that tox about where you can beat your wife, where you can abuse her, these are sanctions in general public, these have to stop. we have to look at the leaders who are perpetuating behaviors. the beating of a women.

the victim's own father saying, no, no, my daughter is okay. she's out of school. as if this is a good thing. the whole moral system but the government should be health accountable. you are watching "cnn newsroom." still ahead, alberta's most intense wildfire, it may continue on for weeks. we're getting a look at what residents of ft. mcmurray are finding. plus, not all are backing their presumptive nominee donald trump for the white house. the challenges that trump faces to try to reunite his party. ski. and they only take 15 minutes to make. ahh! birds eye voila so veggie good

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm george howell. we turn now to canada and the latest on the wildfires that are burning there. alberta's biggest fire is set to double in size in the coming hours. so far, that wildfire has burned more than 1,000 square kilometers. that's nearly 400 square miles, leaving the region with these many very, very sad scenes. so many homes destroyed there.

emergency crews worked all day on friday to evacuate thousands to safety in the provincial capital of edmonton. if conditions are safe, a convoy will start once again in a few hours to help thousands escape the flames. paul buchanan has this report. >> reporter: evacuees describing the frightening experience of escaping the alberta wildfire. morgan alley and his family fled the area. >> it was like a scene out of a movie. it reminded me of "walking dead." where you're going on the highway. >> reporter: fire officials are calling it an extreme and rare event focused on protecting communities. >> in terms of fight a large fire out there, that's going to be the most difficult part. we can be very successful in the community areas and most

strategic in those parks. but we're protecting the complunts and infrastructures. >> reporter: and more help is on the way of the approximate 90,000 displaced. the government providing roughly 180 million canadian dollars in aid. the royal canadian mounted police organized an evacuation convoy to move approximately 1500 vehicles along a potentially dangerous route south to safety. but the damage left behind by the wildfires is overwhelming. it's destroyed more than 1600 structures with some residents returning to nothing like rubble like this man. he posted this video on facebook of what used to be his home on beacon hill. >> this was my house. this was my house. nothing here. it's gone. >> reporter: cnn, edmonton, canada. >> paul's report shows the story

there. you get a sense just how powerful and dangerous these fires can be. weather plays into it as well. >> weather is a huge factor. in fact, it provides the ingredients necessary for the wildfires to spread. i've come across a very interesting graphic that shows the recent flare-ups and hot spots. this is plotted out on google. you can see it, what we have is ft. mcmurray, interstate 63 that runs north and south through ft. mcmurray. is this the one and only road moving in and out of the hardest hit particular region. and the dark shades of red on the outskirts of all of these individual hot spots are the flare-ups that have taken place in the last 6, 12 hours at max. but i want you to see what's happened just to the east of where the main burn area actually is.

is this a new flare-up that's taken place here. my bet, looking at the latest wind across this region you can see it's generally out of the west-southwesterly direction. moving basically perpendicular to ft. mcmurray. it's blowing hot embers, which by the way can travel hundreds of feet, several hundred meters and that can start spot fires in other locations. that's my guess what's happening right now. and that is why we believe conditions could become worse before it they become better in terms of weather conditions helping to put out the flames. notice what's going to happen, though. we're going to get a shift in the wind direction. that's a telltale sign that there are changes coming and a chance of rain. more on that just a second. putting the fire in perspective. it's over 1,000 square kill 0 meters. that's compared to the size of

rome. it's over this ridge built over the western part of canada sending the temperature soaring over ft. mcmurray. still hot in parts of alberta. look at the danger as we go forward in time from saturday to sunday that is all thanks to the impending cold front that's going to move through this particular region. only on this image, george if you notice haze in the skies overhead in atlanta, that's because the smoke from alberta hit the jet stream and traveled all over the united states blanketing our skies. >> unbelievable, huh? >> thank you. >> all right. america's choice 2016, the race for the white house, and donald trump has all but clinched the republican nomination for president but some party faithful still trying

never trump. you our jim acosta reports on those not yet ready to unite behind the presumptive nominee. >> reporter: donald trump is ready to bring on the battle ahead. >> now, it's between me and crooked hillary -- >> reporter: but even as the presumptive gop nominee sets his sights on hillary clinton, he still needs to watch his back. not only are top republicans like house speaker paul ryan publicly shares their doubts. >> well to be perfectly candid with you, jake, i'm just not ready to do that at this point. i'm not there right now. >> reporter: the list of other gop leaders who will not vote for trump is growing. the latest senator lindsey graham. >> good luck with paul ryan trying to find a conservative judgment with this guy. i don't think he has the temperament to be commander in chief. a lot of voters will vote for

him enthusiastically. some will hold their nose. >> reporter: while trump was measured in his response to ryan -- >> i was really surprised by it. and it's fine. he can do whatever he wants to do, it's fine. >> reporter: one of his top aides tweeted that the speaker's comments were an insult for the millions of americans who voted for trump. and a spokesperson questioned whether ryan should continue as speaker. >> do you feel that ryan should still be leader of the party? >> no. >> you know why it's never trump. i'm going to stop the gravy train for all of these consultants. >> reporter: but trump's critics say they're getting heartburn for good reason. pointing to -- and taco bowls. >> he's trying. [ laughter ] >> he's trying. >> reporter: rnc chairman reince priebus said he knows trump is trying because he took a call

from the real estate tycoon after ryan's comments. >> he wasn't furious, it was what do i need to do? my view is just relax and be gracious. >> reporter: that's not how trump remembers the call with priebus, telling i told reince that i thought he was totally inappropriate what paul ryan said, but feels and i'm okay with that we meet before we go separate ways. >> there no doubt that there sa debate taking place inside the republican party about who they are and what they represent. their standard-bearer at the moment is donald trump. >> that was cnn's jim acosta reporting there for us. donald trump, he is hoping to win over the speaker of the house representative paul ryan.

the two are scheduled to meet on thursday to work through their party differences. party unity is expected to be a topic of discussion at that meeting. donald trump is also at a war of words with massachusetts senator elizabeth warren. at a rally on friday, he responded to one of the tweets earlier this week. she accuses him of building a campaign of racism, sex imand 16 phobi and xenophobia. >> i just learned crooked hillary, she's got this goofy friend named elizabeth warren, she's on her twitter ad. she's a goofis. have you ever seen her? this woman, she's a basket case. >> warren tweeted goofy, really donald trump for a guy with the best words that's a pretty lame nickname. and donald trump spews insults

and lies because he can't have an honor conversation about his dangerous vision for america. that tweet there. speaking on friday in oakland, california, hillary clinton also fired back at donald trump. earlier in the day trump defended his comments saying, rather, nobody respects women more than me. clinton took issue with that and his stance on paying american workers. >> he doesn't think we need to raise the minimum wage. and i got to tell you, i ask myself all the time. who is he talking to? i have now talked with thousands of people over the last year, i know wages need to go up. and then, of course, he doesn't think much of equal pay for women because, of course, he doesn't think much of women, it turns out. >> meanwhile, clinton's rival bernie sanders says he's going all the way to the democratic kwevngs. it is impossible for him to win noef enough pledged delegates to

become the nominee. but sanders tells cnn he will continue to run an issue-oriented campaign and stop trump. >> i intend to do whatever i can either as the candidate of the democratic party or if i'm not the candidate to do everything i can to make sure donald trump does not become president of the united states. he will be a disaster for this country. and i will fight as hard as i can to make sure he does not get into the oval office. >> keep in mind there have been increasing calls for bernie sanders to suspend his campaign so hillary clinton can focus on the generalelection. you're watching "cnn newsroom." the world is watching as the highest gathering in years takes place in bopyongyang. plus, the pope accepts an award.

two-pronged approach of developing the country's nuclear program while also growing the north korean economy. there are some observers on the outside saying you can't have a strong economy and continuing to develop nuclear weapons. but kim jong-un's government is intent on proving them wrong. it's part of the reason why you see such international press here. one thing i noticed in coming here, how much more activity there is. car it's in streets, people are well dressed. it seems that the economy is growing. are you worried about how sanctions are going to affect your life. he says, we've been under heavy sanctions since the end of the korean war in the '50s. we're not afraid of stronger sanctions because we're used to them and we survived. now as we monitor this fwhuns a generation meeting of the congress, we wonder what the supreme leader is going to announce. will there be a shift in the

presidency of the united states. and what that means is that every candidate, every nominee, needs to be subject to exacting standards and genuine scrutiny. it means that you got to make sure that their budgets add up. >> the u.s. president also reacted to the ongoing fight on the democratic side. he points out that bernie sanders and hillary clinton agree on many issues. the president says the nomination process should play itself out despite the delegate math. >> bernie sanders, i think everybody know what is that math is. i think senator sanders has done an extraordinary job raising a whole range of issues that are important to democratic voters, as well as the american people generally. and i know that at some point,

>> donald trump says he's going to make america great, what do you say? >> i don't, don't build a wall. >> what i see from a president is a sign of leadership in every aspect of his life, he shows leadership. and we're setting an example for the rest of the country to follow our president, the tough guy. >> or gal. >> or gal, yeah. >> and we are the people who are going to be running the country soon. >> the hash tag there too young to vote. this is "newsroom," a pristine natural environment and u.s. relations improve with that nation. it's presenting an unique opportunity for anglers. we'll show you some of cuba's unspoiled fishing water as "cnn newsroom" continues. in seconds. and because it's so delicious, you'll drink 43% more water

part of the recent flare-ups that had taken place. and it was all thanks to the direction of the wind which has been out of a west-southwesterly direction. so take those embers that i talked about just a moment ago and allowing for hot spots to actually flare up quickly. but there some relief. some light at the end of the tunnel. temperatures are going to cool down. humidity is going to be on the increase, and we're going to see our winds decrease finally as we head into the second half of the weekend. but i believe it's going to be worse for the next 24 hours before it gets better. let me explain. here's the size of the fire at the moment. just over 1,000 square kilometers which is comparable to even the size of dallas for our domestic viewers watching right now. it's all thanks to this persistent ridge that has bit up over the person half of north america. if you recall earlier this week,

a contentious topic. >> instead of taking her home, they took her to a dark wooded to have authorities which is random authority over the local population. this to me is no different than terrorism. stemming from the exact same roots of traditional men thinking they can kill anybody who do not agree with them. today, it is a woman. tomorrow, it's a person with a different mind-set about islam or tradition. the day after, it's a foreigner and the day after a pakistani. it comes from allowing tribal council rules, they have the authority, the chutzpah, the guts, to kill whoever they want. we have to look at the systematic reason why this is. happening. >> and some pakistanis are now calling for laws that would make it easier to prosecute these suspects behind these called honor murders. on to kenya, the government
