really want one? these are the kinds of social questions which the scientists say society should answer. good morning. i'm ala front seat gorani where new details and new pictures are emerging about the attackers and their possible connection to isis. >> i'm john vause and number 10 downing street, it's been almost a week since david cameron said he would step down after losing that brexit vote. this morning, it's the conservative party reeling from a shocker. and i'm amara walker in los angeles. later i'm going to sit down with the city's former mayor for his take on donald trump's latest comments about mexican

immigrants and trade. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. and this is cnn. >> this is not going to work out. technical problems. all right. can i -- am i on? apologies. just a few technical problems. it's a beauty of live television sometimes. but updating you on our latest story lines here out of turkey. sources are telling us they believe isis leadership was directly involved in the triple suicide bombing on tuesday evening here and the death toll, sadly, has picked up by one. we now stand at 44 people killed. investigators have been showing a picture believed to be of the

three suicide bombers to residents of one neighborhood where they rented an apartment. officials say the men came from rocco, which is the capital of that self-declared area inside of syria. police have been conducting extensive raids, not just in istanbul, but in the coastal city of ismir, as well. in total, 22 people have been detained b and are being question questioned. our senior international correspondent joins me in istanbul. you had an opportunity to go to one of those flats where the raids were conducted where the suspects resided for about a month. >> yes. we understand there were there for about a month. a lot of the neighbors tell us they sensed something was wrong. one woman talked about this extremely strong chemical smell that was permeating the entire building. take a look at what else we learned, with hala. >> this is a typical street in the conservative district of istanbul.

but the estate who manages this property tells us that he was brought in by police to confirm the men that they showed him on cctv foot aemg, that they had rented this property from him. >> up just one flight of stairs, this is it. this is where turkish authorities have told us they believe the three attackers holed up for a month. the attackers, they say, came directly from rhaka and all evidence the turkish authorities currently have in their possession points towards the isis leadership's direct involvement in a planning, the commissioning and the execution of the attack on the airport. >> we have been walk around the neighborhood trying to discover what, if anything, anyone saw. and this garage owner, his garage is directly overlooked by the flat rented by the attackers. he's agreed to speak with us. >> translator: sometimes i would see them when they opened the window to smoke and to get some fresh air.

but they never on opened the curtains. we have been anxious, as locals here, since a growing number of foreigners moving into this neighborhood. but, of course, you can never ask, who are you to someone? it's not our duty. there are police and other officials in this country who should be dealing with it. >> people here are feeling worried, they're feeling tense and understandably very few of the neighbors in this building agreed to speak on camera. but one woman describes us on sunday, two days before the attack was launched, smelling something chemical, a strong chemical smell emanating from the flat rented by the attackers that she said filled the entire building. it was down this street that the attackers walked towards the neighborhood square. turkish security sources say it's here that the men flagged down the taxi that would take them on that fatal trip to the airport where horror would soon

unfold. today in the very seem square, life seems almost eerily normal. and this is precisely, as you know, what so many intelligence agencies have been uncertain about. >> and it appears as though they've succeeded in doing that in this case. thank you so much, nima elbagir. and for month on these suspects, we're joined by former cnn moscow chief jill daughterry. let's talk about this. potentially the three suspects from that region of russia, as well, talk about the significance of that. >> well, think of the soviet union as it was collapsing there were a lot of groups, of course, in these countries.. these were republics in the soviet union, then becoming countries and they were islamic.

they were muslim areas and going back into, let say, the 2000s, early 2000s. these groups were basically in opposition to the local governments, to the ooze beck government, etcetera, and then, of course, chechnya and gagastan. then as terrorists ma taz ta sized and spreading around the world, they became part of the bigger picture and that appears to be what's happening now, that these groups, these men apparently became part of isis and kind of thing big fish in the pond, identifying themselves with that and then going to syria to fight. that's the focus in all of this. fighting in syria, of course, on the side of isis. >> yeah. and talk to us about numbers

here potentially. do we know more or less in terms of these ex soviet republics how many recruits isis is able to attract from that part of the world? >> there are about 3,000 fighters who have come from russia. 3,000 from russia and then there's an establishmented another maybe 4,000 who have come from the center of asia. so you're looking at probably a total of about 7,000, give or take. nobody really knows. and don't forget, you know, after the -- or around the period of the russian olympics in sew chee, they also really cracked down on terrorist and basically kicked them out of that area if they didn't kill them, made it clear that they were to get out of russia and so some of them moved over into the middle east and then, of course, as syria kicked up, that is where they headed.

and they are quite brutal. they're good fighters because a lot of them have been fighting for a very long time. >> all right, jill daugherty, thanks very much for your analysis. let's head to london now where there's a lot of post brexit political drama to go over. john vause. >> yeah. to say the least, the race is now on from the conservative party to replace david cameron. boris johnson shocked supporters by saying he doesn't want the job. he was considered to be the leading candidate. there are five conservatives competing now, the front runners, michael hone and home secretary tree teresa mayer. jeremy corbin is being accused of making anti-semantic remarks. >> jeremy corbyn has been losing

support from members of his own party all this week and now he rerisks losing support of the jewish community, too, speaking at the launch of anti-sympathy the timp in his own party. he compared israel to isis. >> my jewish friends -- or the netanyahu government than our muslim are for those islamic states or organizations. >> also attending that conference was ruth smith who is a labor mp who is also jewish. and until today, at least, a corbyn supporter. she was left in had a state of shock by what she had to hear. not only that, she was also verbally assaulted by a grassroots movement who supports jeremy corbyn. now, we have been in contact with ruth and this is what she had to say. no one from the leaders' office has contacted me since the event, which in itself is a catastrophic failure of leadership, she says.

i call on jeremy corbyn to resign immediately and make way for a backbone to confront racism and anti-semitism in our party and in the country. some in the jewish community have reacted to those remarks, calling them offensive and ip flamtory. jeremy corbyn clearly made an offensive and inappropriate comparison. to talk about jus and israel and then to talk about muslims and islamic state was a comparison, no doubt about it. whether he thought about it is a different question. one can only hope that he hadn't thought about it. had he thought about it, he would have realized how inappropriate and offensive it was. >> the reaction has been one of disgust, with some saying this proves jeremy corbyn has no moral authority and should step down. cnn, london. and, amara, despite all the controversy surrounding jeremy corbyn, there is still no clear

leader within the parrot to take his place. >> john, thank you for that. now to the west bank where a 13-year-old girl was stabbed to death while she slept here in her bedroom. here is a picture of that. israel says guards entered the home and found the suspect still inside. they fatally shot a 17-year-old palestinian. the victim was abdomen eighth grader. she had dual american israeli citizenship. both the u.s. and israel have condemned the murder. hundreds have attended aerial's funeral on thursday. o. you'll hear how the donald joked about mexican flames, quote, getting ready to attack the u.s. also, we'll tell you how an impromptu meeting between bill clinton and the u.s. attorney general is leading to cries of conflict of interest.

with my moderate to severe ulcerative colitis, the possibility of a flare was almost always on my mind. thinking about what to avoid, where to go... and how to deal with my uc. to me, that was normal. until i talked to my doctor. she told me that humira helps people like me get uc under control and keep it under control when certain medications haven't worked well enough. 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. raise your expectations. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible.

donald trump taking a jab at

mexico once again. the presumptive republican presidential nominee was on the trail in new hampshire slamming free trade deals and listing u.s. manufacturing jobs that have moved to china and mexico. and then a plane flew overhead and this. >> i respect mexico, i respect their leaders. their leaders are so much smarter, so much sharper and it's incredible. in fact, that could be a mexican plane up there they're getting ready to attack. >> joining me now is the former mayor of los angeles, antonio villarigosa. thank you for being here. >> great to be here. >> got to get your reaction. you started an anti-trump pact last year. you are mexican-american. i'm curious to know how you take this, even though it was supposed to be a joke. >> actually a third again rate ragz american. my grandpa came here a hundred years ago. as an american, you can't help

but be embarrassed by the things he says. there's a thing they talk about when they go to another country, mexico, for instance, and they'll talk about montazuma revenge, which is diarrhea. he clearly has diarrhea of the mouth. this is a man who can't help himself. to have said the that, what he said, particularly after the attack in turkey, it is pretty reprehensible. but he doesn't seem to be able to help himself. he says whatever comes into his head and it goes right out of his mouth and most of the time it either makes no sense and i think they've documented that 75% of the things that come out of his mouth are either alive or a misrepresentation of facts. so just another one of his trumpisms, right? >> the country is still reeling from that, but i think a lot of countries around the world, local governments are

reassessing their security at airports, what have you. but when you look at los angeles, the greater los angeles area, is the city adequately prepared when it comes to threats from isis and particularly soft targets like airports? >> we're the second largest anti-terrorism union in the lapd, in the united states. we have a fusion center which looks at these kinds of threats. we have the largest airport police department in the united states. i can tell you we're focused like a laser beam. the new mayor -- well, has been there a few years now is focused on it. chief beck is thinking about it every single day. and i can tell you that's what i did when i was mayor. i was in paris just last week or just this week, a few days ago, and i can tell you that most of the airports are beefing up security. i think we all have to. this is just a new world.

and we have to be prepared and know when it comes to soft targets, you can't completely insulate yourself. we do want to be a country where people can move around from place to place, but there's no question that we're in a heightened focus in terms of protecting the public. >> yeah. and you say, you know, l.a. overall, it seems like it's pretty well prepared. i'm thinking about the olympics because, of course, los angeles is bidding for the 2024 games. what do you think of the prospects? >> well, we worked hard a few years ago to bring the games to los angeles for 2016. we're making the effort again. . i think building on that effort and led by casey wasser marn, and a great group of people, the mayor and others, i can tell you that my sense is we've got as great a shot as anybody. yes, i know there are great cities seeking the bid, paris

and rome and budapest, but i'm putting my money on l.a. >> i have to ask you about the senate race here in california to replace -- for retiring senator barbara boxer's seat. you have a democratic candidate versus a democratic candidate. this is unprecedented. but it makes you wonder what in the world went wrong for the republican party here in california. >> both good candidates. i have a relationship with both of they will. i haven't weighed in at this point. i do have respect for both candidates. i think it's going to be an interesting race. but right now, you have to say that this ises what's going to happen with this new primary system. people are going to get to vote for the people that they think are the best candidate, and increasingly in this state, they think the top two candidates should be democrat.. and in no small part because the republicans have gone farther and farther to the right in a

state that's very, very diverse. >> so what does this mean for the future of the republican party? the state of it and the future of the republican party here in the state. >> well, my hope is -- because i'm a big believer in the two-party system. my hope is that they'll recalibrate and realize thats there's a middle that's open to both parties. but as long as they continue to go so far to the right that they kind of go off the end of the earth, if we were flat, this state is just not going to, you know, support them. i think hillary will win big in california. and in no small part because the republican party just hasn't fielded candidates who are willing to take on their dogmatism. whether it's the woman's right to choose, immigration, whatever the issue, they've gone pretty far beyond where the center of

california is today. >> former los angeles mayor antoinio vill had arigosa, than you tore coming in. >> thanks for having me. the u.s. attorney general is facing criticism after she met with bill clinton. loretta lynch says she spoke briefly with the former president on monday after they realized they were on the same airport tarmac. some democrats and republicans are calling the meeting a conflict of interest. lynch is overseeing the ongoing investigation into headquarter had headquartillary clinton's p e-mail server. >> you see a thing like this, and even in terms of judgment, how bad a judgment is it the for him or her to do this? who would do this? >> she has generally shown excellent judgment and strong leadership of the department and i'm convinced that she is an independent attorney general. >> she has said -- >> sends the wrong signal and i don't think it sends the right signal.

i think she should have steered clear even of a brief social casual meeting with the former president. >> you just heard it there. now, lynch says she does not discuss any legal matters and bill clinton did not ask about the investigation. the clinton campaign has not commented. let's discuss the political fallout of this meeting. earl afari hutchinson joins you now and the author of "how president trump will govern." gina louden is joining us, host of america trenz with dr. gina. joining us from san diego. welcome to us both. earl, i want to start with you. a lot of people wondering what in the world was bill clinton thinking. do you agree with trump when he says this was horrible judgment s ? >> well, i don't know if i would agree about the judgment part, but i will say this. why are you having this meeting now? one of the problems when you look at hillary clinton, and

trump, too, the negatives, they're very, very high. one of the things hillary keeps getting from trump and everyone else is untrustworthy. she is prone to cutting back room deals. now tack to go loretta lynch, at least from appearance standpoint and also, too, from just the optics of it, it doesn't look good. is there anything wrong with that? was there any manipulation had, any wheeling and dealing, any back room deals cut? no. but it's appearances. oftentimes perception trumps reality. yeah, you're right. adding fuel to the fire. hillary clinton struggles with being liked and her trust korthyness. gina, i want to bring you into the fold here obviously with a lot of republicans saying this compromises the independence of the department of justice. >> a lot of republicans and democrats. i'm glad this has become a bipartisan agreement. we can talk about the politics all day long, but i think what

is particularly sad about this is when i think about the fact that only a little over 50% of americans actually vote in a presidential election. and i think things like this diminish public confidence in ways that are reprehensible. i think we're at a point in our history, and i think this is the reason for the outsiders like the bernie sanders, like the donald trump who maybe speak too much truth. but at least they're being authentic. i think part of the reason that's so attractive is precisely things like this that make it happen, making it seem like a dirty insider game that the offering citizen doesn't have a part in. >> i think a lot of people agree with that because it does come down to optics. as earl was saying, sometimes perception trumps reality because that is all that we see. i want want to ask you about trump's possible vice

presidential picks. "the washington post" reporting newt gingrich is emerging for trump as a top option and new jersey governor chris christie. what do you think about these choices and do you think any of them may help broaden trump's appeal? >> i do. i think newt gingrich is probably a great option. he sort of brings that political gravitas that i think might even bring the establishment, some of the establishment who are more hesitant to trust him. but the thing about newt is, he hasn't yet alienated conservatives, so i don't think he takes away any of the donald trump's current support. chris christie, i don't know that i think he would pick him, but here is what i'll bet you. because he is the most unpredictable candidate of all time, i bet he picks his own person and i bet we're all going to be surprised.

that's my own prediction from watching him so much. >> thanks for that. and to earl, as you were saying earlier, the unfavorable ratings of both trump and clinton are extremely high. trump has managed to offend many different kinds of people. when i talk to my friends from outside the united states, they're asking me, what in the world is going on? is this the best the u.s. has? it is not about voting for the best candidate, but the least worst. >> it's who's standing at the end. i think this is one of the unique elections where you have two candidates. the negatives are off the chart. there's no question about that. they're running neck and neck. who at the end with the american voters will they hold their nose shortest on. these a tragedy all the way around. that's not the way the system is supposed to work. that's not the way democracy is supposed to work. we look for the best, not the

worst. the race is to the top, mott the bottom. at the end of the day, we still have months. a lot can happen. don't jump to the gun. things can happen. we don't know. at this point in time, the negatives are there, but is there a possibility to flip the card a little bit? and maybe we'll see some positive things emerge, maybe we'll even see some attitudes change. >> you're saying very optimistic. have to leave it there. earl, appreciate your time. gina louden, thank you joining us from san diego. >> thank you. >> we're going to end it here, american politics, and turn it over to british politics. john vause is following the political fallout from across the pond. >> we'll take a short break, but when we come back, the young and the brexit. what younger voters now think about the referendum and is how they have changed this future.

welcome back, everybody. 6:31 on a friday morning here in london. i'm john vause outside the prime minister's residence, 10 downing street. it has been a roller coaster of emotions since the uk voted to leave the european union last week. many thought boris johnson, the chief leave campaigner would be the next prime minister. but on thursday, johnson shocked and anchored many by saying he would not run. this now means five conservative members of parliament will compete to replace david cameron. he walked out of the door behind me a week ago and resigned after losing that referendum vote. now the historic vote could drastically change the future of young people here. both sides heavily quartered the

youth vote. joining us now, 22-year-old voter joey simmerman and 28-year-old taner brown. joey, do you feel betrayed by boris johnson essentially not standing to fight for the leadership of the conservative party and essentially being betrayed, according to some, by michael? >> i don't think it really matters that much. the leave campaign was between the barrage wing and the boris wing. once boris is gone, there will be a lot of people to pick up the slack. >> okay. as a member of the labor party, they seem to be facing a circular firing squad again. do you think corbyn should step down? >> i think he should. corbyn -- sorry. jeremy corbyn made a lot of

mistakes. >> yeah. >> he was on the rain side in this referendum and he made a lot of critical points about the european union. and members of his own cabinet were saying why are you saying this? they were being called up on these points in interviews, which is really undermining. and it's fought just about the eu. it's about party policy. so he's had a confrontation with his own party about nuclear weapons. so he said, we don't want to have nuclear weapons. the party said -- many members of the party said we have to keep this. so they've ended up with a compromise where we're going to have nuclear submarines, but they're ft. going be armed which isn't satisfying anyone. >> okay. mungo with, let's get back to what the future actually may hold. it's looking had at if there will be some kind of deal done that will relegate the uk to

second tier or third tier status within the eu. and, joey, is that what you had actually voted for when you wanted to leave? >> well, i voted for the -- not for leave the eu. there's a strong possibility it will go you through renegotiation where we can stay in the eec or the fta and although, yes, it might have betrayed a large portion of the lee vote, i don't think that was ever really on the cards. i also don't think people actually voted for this whole nh had s slogan about the -- a week. i don't know anybody who is voting on cheap tactical points of politicians. i don't think the people that vote leave trust it will cost that much to deliver. >> mungo, as someone who wanted to stay within the eu, as we've been discussing, it was the older voters who turned out in droves who were driving this vote to leave the uk, you know,

and many people made the point they'll be around for the next 15 or 20 years and not for the consequences of their decisions. young voters like yourself will have to live with it for the rest of your lives for a lot longer. >> yeah. there are two sides to this because young people overwhelmingly voted to remain in the eu. but young people of my age group were also the least lickly to vote in this refer republican dull. so on one side, we can blame all the people voting for something we didn't want, but most of us didn't actually vote for it. a lot of young people are quite optimistic. you know, they want to work together with the rest of the world, so hopefully we can get a deal of some kind that is more useful in that, that allows us to still be working with the europeans, maybe be part of the ea. >> and, joey, do you finally -- do you believe that, you know,

the older voters are the ones that have betrayed the younger voters here or do you think this has just worked out fine? >> no, this presumes a fed point, which is by saying this, you're saying that the eu is such an unequivocally good -- that only fools and racists and nfos could vote out. immigration was the top priority for about a third of the voters. and if the young was so adamant that the eu was a massively important institution to remain, they should have voted. this is not a general election. this is a referendum that decides the future of our country. there is no lesser of two evils here. >> you can't complain, i guess. >> yeah. it's just a shame that people who have been paying taxes, who have fought the tax nazis, who have been -- our cup for generations are being scapegoated and told they may as well die now and not vote. are we going to have a soft age

cap for voting? you're above the general age limit so you don't get to vote? i find that incredibly patronizing that old people are seen as less stewardly towards the young. >> okay. i agree there's been a bit of ridiculous narrative to some sternt around old people, but i don't think you're helping there when you're saying are we going to have an age cap, should we have an age cap. obviously, no one is suggesting that. >> okay. we shall leave it there. >> you'd be surprised. if you going it it hard enough, you'll find it. it's a natural communication. >> we shall leave it there. clearly, this is something everyone will be talking about for a long time in this country and the ramifications will be felt for a longer time, as well. thanks to you both for coming in. we appreciate it. cornwell, about five hours south of here voted to leave the eu and now it wants to keep the millions of pounds of subsidies it gets every year. phil, it seems cornwell, well,

they want their brexit cake and they want to eat it, too. >> yeah, john, that's certainly one view. cornwall, like a lot of poors, less developed areas of the uk and is indeed across europe has benefited from huge amounts of monies. we're talking hundreds of millions of bounds over many years with many more to kol. despite that, this region voted to leave by 56%. so above the national average. now, after that, the local authorities have said they want certain reassurances from the british government that the british government will step in and match that money equally. they say that members of the leave campaign made those sorts of assurances during the campaign itself but, of course, it's not up to the leave campaign. it is up to the british government and the prevailing economic and budgetary priorities at the time. so somewhat optimistically, they

do hope the british government can step in and make up for what will clearly be a significant shortfall in what were the fairley big and optimistic plans for this region. >> and, clearly, phil, just looking at where you're standing right now, fishing is a big issue for that community and fishing quotas came up as an issue during this referendum. one of the complaints is that the fishing industry was being squeezed by the quotas, which were replaced by the e you. but now it seems maybe with any new deal, it may want be better for the fishermen. >> well, the fishing industry here in britain has raged against the european union for decades because their industry is controlled and regulated by the rules set in brussels, by what's known as the common fisheries policies. this is what determines quotas and which countries can have access to british territorial fishing waters and these sorts of things.

they believe it has really hurt their industry, that boats have gone out of business, that it is deeply unfair. so, yes, a lot of these boats behind me have flags saying vote leave. they are pleased to have got to this point. they hope the rules and regulations can now be renegotiated more fairley. they say they believe in the necessity for quoters to ensure fish stocks and that sort of thing. but they heard britain can now negotiate deals with other countries that will be more beneficial to the local fishing industry. >> and one of those uncertainties surrounding all of this as britain tries to work out some way of getting out of the eu. thanks so much for being with us. turkish investigators are circulating a picture of the men they believe killed 44 people at istanbul's airport, where they're from and how they're linked to isis, just ahead. whatcha' doin?

welcome back. we are broadcasting live from istanbul. turkish investigators says evidence shows isis leadership helped plan the deadly terror attack here at ataturk airport. authorities say the three terrorists came into turkey a month ago from isis's self-declared capital in syria bricking with them suicide vests and bombs. according to turkish officials. they also say that the three originated from uzbekistan, kirgistan. hugh joins me now. talk to us about these ex soviet fighters. historically, what do we know about them? >> there are a lot of foreign fighters in general. they've gone to syria and iraq and a lot of these guys have had

training and mill at that point uprisings in chechnya. they're regarded as pretty well trained, tough fighters they've formed battalions, taken on leadership roles within the islamic state itself. generally, it's fighters, sometimes it's political leaders. but we do know these guys have taken on prominent roles within areas of isis control in syria and iraq and presumably beyond such as these attacks. >> and we know cells inside of isis usually group together men who speak the same lk, the french and the bell jgiums together. auto could that be the case here? >> it is possible. but it's kind of hard to know now. i think it's pretty clear that there had should, in fact, be a direct intention here by isis to

use people from these areas of the world to send a message to turkey to say, oh, you have communities of large minorities from central asia, parts of russia. now, you know, be careful because we can attack. >> because the question i had yesterday, not knowing some of these areas of istanbul where the men reportedly spent a month before this attack, that there are very large minority communities in had some areas of istanbul that they wouldn't necessarily have stood out. >> yeah. certainly. and that's a tactic, i think, that the islamic state likes to use and countries where there's attacks, likes to use authority groups that may be a bit down trodden, ostracizes from the broader community. they infiltrate these communities to sort of drive a wedge between authorities, the majority population and these minority communities. >> hugh naylor, thanks for

joining us. we'll have more coverage from istanbul, but let's let back to los angeles now and amara walker. >> thanks for that, hala. we're going to take a short break. next, a man convicted of murder is getting a second chance to prove why he is innocent. why the case is headed back to court.

welcome back, everyone. a man whose story was told in the podcast serial, is getting a murder trial. he is serving a life sentence in maryland. he was convicted in the 1999 death of his girlfriend. on thursday, a judge granted a new trial because of cell phone records. millions of people around the world listened to the podcast, which investigated the case. joining me now is attorney and legal affairs commentator, ariva martin. she is joining us in studio. i appreciate you taking the time. were you surprised that the judge granted this motion, where they were saying that, placing the blame on the defense attorneys. >> these motions are filed all the time.

the defendants tend to blame the lawyers. but the standard is pretty high. you have to prove there was something deficient by the defense. and you have to prove that but for that deficient defense, the outcome would have been different. that's a high burden of proof on the defendant. >> this podcast broke records. it was downloaded and streamed millions of times. >> a hundred million times. >> public opinion is not supposed to play a role. but you think it did. >> judges are human, too. this is a difficult case. i think what the investigative reporter did was raise some questions about the guilt of sayed. she talked about the fact that was no eyewitness to the murder. there was no physical evidence. and the case from the prosecution's standpoint centered at placing him at the

burial scene, based on the cell phone. and there were questions about how the defense attorney, now deceased, treated that evidence. and what the judge says is, she did not cross-examine the expert on the cell phone evidence. >> the jury was not told that that data was unreliable. is that what it comes down to? >> there's a question, if you get an incoming call versus aboutgoing call. and apparently, there's some instruction that was given that should have been, according to this judge, used by the defense attorney, to question the credibility of that evidence. it may have impacted the outcome of the case. >> there was not part of the ruling. the aliilibi witness. she said she was with the convicted murderer when the girlfriend was killed.

but she was never called to testify. >> they said, this witness came forward. she wrote two letters to the defendant when he was in jail. and the defendant says he gave the letters to his attorney. but she was never put on the witness stand. but the alibi was never present theed for the defendant. that fell below the standard of care for an attorney practicing in that state. but he said that wasn't prejudicial. but the judges have to give deference to the strategy of the defense attorney. maybe the lawyer looked at the letters and didn't believe she was a credible witness. there could be lots of reasons why that witness wasn't put on. but that's one of the key reasons that is cited by defendants in seeking new trials. >> we're running out of time. where do things go from here? now that he has a new defense team, do you think they will be effective this time around?

>> the prosecution, the ball's in their court. will they appeal the position or let him walk out of jail and look for who murdered this young girl. and the family is saying justice was served. >> must be a hard time for the family, as well. that does it for this hour of "cnn newsroom." our live coverage from istanbul and london continues after this. you are watching cnn. "why are you checking your credit score?" "you don't want to live with mom and dad forever, do you?" "boo!" (laughs) "i'm making smoothies!" "well...i'm not changing." "so, how can i check my credit score?" "credit karma. don't worry, it's free." "hmmmm." "credit karma. give yourself some credit."

i'm hala gorani. it's 9:00 a.m. here at istanbul airport. we're getting new details about the men who blew themselves up here a few days ago. >> i'm john vause, at number 10 downing street. there's betrayal and outrage in the next race for the prime minister. and how donald trump is saying his party is not standing by him. i'm amber walker. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is cnn.

investigators here in istanbul are trying to connect the dots between this triple suicide bombing at this airport tuesday and isis. the death toll stands at 44. the funerals are heartbreaking. they are taking place throughout the city. new surveillance video shows one of the attackers running through the airport with his gun. turkish officials and state media say the militants were from uzbekistan, kyrgystan and dagestan. officials are trying to find out if anyone else is involved. they arrested at least 22 people. cnn's senior international correspondent visited the apartment apparently rented by the suspects for the past month.

here's what she found. >> reporter: this is a typical street. but the estate agent who manages this property, told us he was brought in to confirm that the men they showed him on cctv footage, they had rented this property from him. up, just one flight of stairs, this is it. this is where turkish authorities have told us they believe the three attackers holed up for a month. the attackers. >> they say, came from raqqah and all evidence the turkish authorities currently have in their possession, points towards the isis leadership's direct involvement in the planning, the commissioning and the execution of the attack on ataturk airport. we've been trying to discover what if anything anyone saw. and the garage is overlooked by the flat rented by the

attackers. he's agreed to speak to us. >> translator: sometimes i would see them when they opened the window to smoke and to get some fresh air. but they never opened the curtains. we have been anxious as locals here. you can never ask who are you to someone. it's not our duty. there are police and other officials in this country who should be dealing with it. >> reporter: people are feeling worried. they're feeling tense. and few of the neighbors in this building agreed to speak on camera. but one woman described to us on sunday, two days before the attack was launched, smelling something chemical. a strong chemical smell. emanating from the flat rented by the attackers. she said filled the entire building.

turkish security forces say it was here the men flagged down the taxi that would take them to ataturk airport. today, in the same square, life seems eerily normal. >> we are learning more, now, about the innocent victims killed tuesday. one of the youngest is 3. seen here behind his sister. he tied from his injuries on thursday. his mother died a day earlier. the father and sister were wounded in the attack. a palestinian family who had come to turkey on vacation. a doctor, who was in turkey, trying to rescue his own son from isis in iraq died. an 8-year-old and three of the

aunts were laid to rest on wednesday. the sisters were just 24, 16 and 14. they had arrived to visit family. >> before she goes, she hugged me and said, come with us. i told her that i will come. >> he wanted someone -- he wanted people to know something about your daughter, what would you want people to know about her? >> she was a very lovely. >> very lovely. >> very lovely. >> much more from istanbul, including what the u.s.-led coalition is doing the fight isis in the self-proclaimed

capital, raqqah, syria. it's been a week since the u.k. voted to leave the european union. a week that's been wild, to say the least. david cameron walked out of the door behind me and resigned. >> i will do everything i can as prime minister, to steady the ship over the coming weeks and months. but i do not think it would be right for me to try to be the captain that steers our country to its next destination. >> after that, many were thinking that the next leader would be boris johnson. he was the leave campaigners' loudest advocate. now, everything else, a surprise. johnson shocked and angered supporters on thursday, saying he doesn't want the job. just as michael gove, one of the front-runners to replace david cameron. he said that johnson could provide the leadership they

need. home secretary theresa may is considered a front-runner. we're experiencing a downpour. it's a bit wet at the moment. this is an incredible thing when you think of what's happened in the past 24 hours. in some ways, maybe boris johnson should have expected it. the conservatives have a history of backstopping and betraying the front runners. >> i've never seen so much turmoil across all of the parties. we're seeing now. the assassin rarely inherits the crown, as they say. it will be interesting to see what this brings about for michael gove. the reason we had a referendum in britain is to heal the divisions in the ruling conservative party. >> it's done the opposite. >> it's done completely the opposite. >> and many are making the comparison with michael gove and the tv series "house of cards." there was a mockup.

we can show the viewers. it has gove sitting in the abe lincoln chair. you know, the u.k. has never seen anything like this. and the original "house of cards" was british, was much better. >> "house of cards" and "game of thrones." there's plenty of blood about on the political street at the moment. >> they say a week is a long time in politics. but these days, 24 hours is a lifetime. >> you turn the page, and something else has changed, somebody else resigned. what it will do to the future of the conservative party, you begin to wonder. the only person who is looking like a safe pair of hands is theresa may. and she can only be strengthened by michael gove putting out. there's people saying, he's -- theresa may supported remain in the campaign, although not enthusiastically. >> she has played it smart. >> she has. >> michael gove, he has the

distincti distinction, in the eyes of many, betrayed his friend, david cameron. and now, betraying his friend, boris johnson. >> he's the smiler with the knife. he's done down two of them. where does it stop? of course, there's a lot of anger against michael gove, within the party for doing this. not just among boris johnson supporters. they're accusing him of playing student politics. one m.p. went so far to say, there's a pit in hell for people like him. that's the bitterness we're going to see for a long time to come. >> compared to the labor party, the conservatives looked like everything was orderly until yesterday. and now, we have a political instability, in the both major parties here, against a back trap of the economic uncertainty. and both parties seem to be leaderless. >> we shouldn't forget that the labor leadership conference,

angela eagle, expected to stand against him. she pulled back because there was such chaos it didn't seem the moment for her to step forward and challenge him. we're expecting to see the challenge to the labor leader some time today. it is chaos at the top of both major parties. >> you'll be with us in the coming hours. days after members of the labor party voted no confidence in jeremy corbyn. the labor leader appeared to compare the israeli government to isis. >> our jewish friends are no more responsible than our muslim friends are for the islamic states. >> jewish leaders in britain and israel were quick to slam his

remarks. he later told the independent newspaper, he was not equating israel with isis. corbyn is under fire for his half-hearted campaign in the eu. when we come back, we will talk to a british m.p. about the wild political week. and the possibility of another eu referendum. and donald trump says he is running against two parties, including his own. what some republicans say they need before they endorse him. ♪ americans are buying more and more of everything online. and so many businesses rely on the us postal service to get it there. because when you ship with us, your business becomes our business. that's why we make more ecommerce deliveries to homes than anyone else in the country. the us postal service. priority: you

we go to our dry, climate-controlled studios across town. did michael gove stab boris johnson in the back? >> it didn't look too good. what i can say, there's a loft talk about who is the front-runner and the rest of it. i think this must be my seventh or eighth leadership contest. what i believe strongly is that people need to think about what has happened in the past. front-runners at the beginning do end up not being able to carry it out to the end. there's a disaggregation of votes as people drop out. that's really important at this stage. >> could you support theresa may, as the next leader, even though she was part of the remain camp. yesterday, he was very firm. brexit means brexit.

>> the campaign was fought. the vote was held. turnout was high. and the public gave their verdict. there must be no attempts to remain inside the eu. no attempts to rejoin it in the back door and no second referendum. >> is that the kind of thing you want to hear from the next leader of the conservatives? the next prime minister? >> i think it's realistic for all of the candidates, actually. after all, the british people are giving their verdict. the labor party is saying the result has to be respected. who is the best person to deliver it? and what is their mindset? the movement towards exit has to be from 10 downing street. and that means whoever is doing it has got to completely understand the situation. actually, my opinion, has got to have a brexit mindset. and you also have to deal with a whole question of the civil

service. all of the laws are being reversed. i'm chairman of a congressional committee that deals with these matters. and actually, i've had enormous amount of difficulty, with theresa may over the last few years. her track record in these matters has not been good at all. that's going to be a fact they're will come in as the voter system continues in the next couple of weeks. >> i'd like to get your reaction to an opinion piece in the "independent." this is what was written. the whole charade has been a sha chimpanzee's tea party. these cheerful imbeciles.

there seems to be utter turmoil, when the labor party is facing one of the biggest challenges in a generation. >> they want to get the issue back to the reason why the verdict of the british people was correct. why, in fact, it is essential, that we leave the european union. not necessarily on this program. talking about the campaign. it's one thing to compete for the leadership. but somebody like andrew ledsome who has an enormous amount of knowledge, track record, and has really substantial experience of working in the city of london and i'm talking about serious players, are actually putting more and more emphasis on her. you're bound to have -- i've been through all of the leadership elections over the last 30 years. and i can tell you that, for example, the assassination of

margaret thatcher was very similar in certain respects. there's going to be a short period of chaos. when the voting starts to sort its way through, and then people begin to realign themselves, as people drop out, so the thing will calm down substantially. and this is unlike choosing a prime minister for general election because this is what the whole future of who governs britain or not. and we can deliver a really successful brexit. >> on the issue of boris johnson and delivering a successful brexit, one of the criticisms being made is here is a man without a plan. he latched on to the campaign as of getting into number 10. but he never thought that the referendum was go the way it did. when it did turn out, with a vote to leave, he just didn't

know what to do. >> i can't read his mind, i have to admit. and all i can say, is stories abound at the moment. rumors are like bats that fly in the night, they say. and actually, the truth to awe howe it all happened, i can't tell you i know. but what i do know, i think he made the right decision because, in practice, i don't think he would have been a details man, someone able to see the whole landscape and the arguments to deliver the brexit from within number 10. i think that's an important point. i will come back to that. this is going to have to be a new administration of competence. competence to deal with the civil service, who are going to have to go into complete reverse. competence to explain to people why the verdict was the right one. and competence to deal with the european institutions, which,

the chairman of the committee i do the whole time, i'm chairman of the committee that has corresponding committees. this is an important but nonetheless exacting task. but there's no doubt at all it is in british interest to do it. it's about democracy, which i know your viewers in america will understand because who governs you is crucial. and americans wouldn't conceive having the american people governed by other member states, which has been in practice so far. nor, for that matter, to have the supreme court overridden by another supreme court. it's unthinkable. so, i think the american people will understand this because of the realities. it's what people fought and died for. it's called democracy. >> there's a lot of support for britain leaving the eu, among

many americans. thank you for being with us. >> thank you very much. thank you. let's go back to los angeles, where it's not raining. >> it is not raining. it is die here, john, thank you for that. donald trump is the presumptive republican presidential nominee. but he is struggling with the problem he's been facing since his campaign started, which is gaining the support of key leaders from his own party. our senior white house correspondent, jim acosta, has more. >> reporter: just weeks before he's set to become the republican nominee, donald trump isn't feeling like the life of the party. >> it's almost like in some ways i'm running against two parties. >> no kidding. >> i'm not sure it matters. >> reporter: trump is openly complaining about his past rivals refusing to endorse him, despite signing a gop loyalty

pledge, a document trump agreed to himself. >> they broke their word. in my opinion, they should never be allowed to run for public office again. >> reporter: but it's not just his opponents from the primaries. gop senators are hesitant to get onboard. >> he was not my second choice. he was not my third choice. and i'm going to see what happens at the convention. it's going to be very important to me whom donald trump chooses as his running mate. that is arguably the most important decision a candidate can make. >> reporter: chris christie is being vetted by the campaign. mike lee, in an interview, is urging trump to consider ted cruz. but lee is still furious that trump once floated a bogus conspiracy theory about cruise's

father. >> he accused my best friend's father of conspireing to kill jfk. >> reporter: consider his latest assault on mexico, a key u.s. trading partner. >> the leaders are so much smarter, so much sharper. and it's incredible. in fact, that could be a mexican plane up there, ready to attack. >> reporter: a little more than half of republicans would like to vote for somebody else, besides trump. that's a lot of ground the make up, with the gop convention only three weeks away. jim acosta, cnn, manchester. the u.s. attorney general is facing criticism after meeting with bill clinton. she spoke briefly with the former president on monday, after they realized they were on the same airport tarmac in phoenix. some democrats and republicans are calling the meeting a conflict of interests. lynch is overseeing the ongoing

at ataturk airport in istanbul. another person has succumb to injuries from tuesday's triple-suicide bombing, bringing the death toll to 44. police have been showing people in one neighborhood a picture of the three men who they believe carried out the attack. turkish officials say they have strong evidence that they were directed by isis. another new surveillance video has emerged. it shows one of the suicide bombers, running through the airport, brandishing his gun as you see there. turkish officials say tuesday's attack was well-planned. and sources are revealing new details about who might have been behind it. cnn's brian todd has that story. >> reporter: the three men crossed into turkey with the

suicide vests last month. they came from the isis strong hold of raqqah. one attacker is from dagestan. one from uzbekistan. one from kyrgystan. >> when isis looks for places to recruit, they look for places where people are battle. hardened by local insurgencies or participation in criminal networks. two of the places within the former soviet union, are right here between uzbekistan, kyrgystan, and tajikistan. and dagestan. >> isis operatives from the asian regions could have moved inside turkey more freely. >> many of the people from that area, the former soviet union, language, culture and ethnic identifying factors are similar

to those of turks. they would blend in better than someone from tunisia or libya. >> reporter: a chechen, his whereabouts are unknown. the u.s. treasury department has designated one isis commander of chechen origin, who is missing a hand and a leg, saying he has been planning attacks against facilities. >> they come to terrorism from crime. that experience being involved in transnational trafficking, of weapons, people, money, hardens them in a way that some of the recruits from western europe just aren't hardened. >> reporter: analysts say isis had an extented network of cells inside turkey. >> those people have limited contact with the local cell because if the turks by chance rolled up somebody in the local cell they were watching, the

high-value assets have been trained and prepared, would be caught, as well. probably, they would have gone into quasi isolation. >> reporter: the airport attackers might have operated as an isolated cell. but they did leave clues. one of the attackers left behind his passport in an apartment they rented in istanbul. brian todd, cnn, washington. despite the isis attacks we saw in paris last november, and brussels in march, and istanbul this week, the terrorist group is losing ground on the battlefield itself in iraq and syria. the u.s. government says territory under isis control has shrunk since 2014. it is the area you see in green on the map. it is much harder to pick out the orange in this traffic. an it shows the gains made by isis. this, as the u.s. says fleeing fighters were hammered by air

strikes in fallujah. iraq claimed to free the key city from isis. barbara starr has that story. >> reporter: isis fighters, under cover of darkness, trying to outrun u.s. and iraqi warplanes. south of fallujah, hundreds of isis operators and 200 vehicles, trying to escape the iraqi government liberation of the city. warplanes swooped in. the u.s. destroyed up to 50 vehicles. iraqi forces, bombing dozens more. one military estimate, more than 300 isis dead. the stakes are accelerating at the pentagon, with eyes quickly turning towards the isis capital city. >> we want to get raqqah, as soon as we can. >> reporter: ash carter bluntly signaling the next move to isis leaders by u.s. aircraft and anti-isis fighters in northern

syria. >> we are going to position to, again, envelop and collapse the control of raqqah. the reason i want to do that as soon as possible, is raqqah is the self-proclaimed capital of the self-proclaimed caliphate of isil. >> reporter: getting to raqqah is urgent. the attackers in the istanbul airport assault, traveled from raqqah. and the cia director is warning more may be headed to europe. >> isil is training and planning to deploy operators for further attacks. isil has western fighters who could serve as operatives for attacks in the west. >> reporter: it comes as washington is discussing whether the two militaries can cooperate more in syria, a more urgent concern with raqqah, now in the

crosshairs. >> the u.s. starts to put in ground troop advisers to assist u.s.-backed rebels on the ground. that's something we have to do to communicate to the russians, here's where our people are, so russians aren't bombing our troop s on the ground. >> reporter: why might ash carter start talking about the next steps in the war against isis? putting them on notice about what might be coming? well, look at what happened in fallujah. if they want to make a run for it outside of raqqah, it might make it easier for u.s. warplanes to target them. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. let's go back to london and john vause. >> we will try and read some tea leaves in a moment. who has the runs on winning the leadership of the conservative party and be britain's next prime minister? we will talk to a pollster after the break.

the outcome would have been timpbt. and that's a really high burden of proof on the part of the defendant. i was surprised by the judge's ruling in this case. >> this podcast broke records. it was downloaded and streamed millions of times. >> public opinion is not supposed to play a role. but you think it did. >> judges are supposed to make rulings based on the facts and the law. they're human, too. this was a difficult case. i think what the investigative reporter did was raise some questions about the guilt of sayed. she talked about the fact there was no you witness to the murder. no physical evidence. and the case from the prosecution standpoint really centered on placing him at the burial scene, based on his cell phone. and there were questions about how the defense attorney, who is deceased, treated that evidence. and essentially, the judge said

she did not examine the expert on the cell phone evidence. >> the jury was not told that data is unreliable. is that what it comes down to? >> there's a question, if you get an incoming call, versus an outgoing call. how reliable is that in determining your whereabouts. apparently there was some instruction that should have been, according to the judge, used by the defense attorney to question the credibility of that evidence and possibly, the judge is saying, it may have impacted the outcome of the case. >> i find most interesting -- this is not part of the judge's ruling. but this alibi witness. i mean, she was apparently -- she says she was with this convicted murderer, when the girlfriend was killed. yet, she was never called to testify. >> that was a big part of the defense's motion. they said, this witness came forward. she wrote two letters to the defendant while he was in jail.

and the defendant said he gave the letters to his attorney. she was never put on the witness stand. her alibi was never presented as part of the defense. the judge said that fell below the practice of care, but it wasn't prejudicial. give a lot to the strategy of the defense attorney. maybe the lawyer looked at the letters and didn't believe she was a credible witness. there could be lots of reasons that witness wouldn't put on. that's one of the key reasons. >> we're running out of time. where do things go from here? he has a new defense team. you think they might be effective this time around? >> the prosecution, ball's in their court. will they appeal the decision? or let him walk out of jail and start looking for who murdered this young girl? and the family is saying, justice was served by the

candidate. and it seems that despite the fact that she campaigned albeit lightly to remain as part of the european union, it seems that her position as a unity candidate is what's appealing most to the conservative party. having said that, it's early in the morning here in london, and the advantage of doing an interview now is her likelihood of being overtaken by events is reduced. >> yeah, it's 10 to 8. this could all change in the next 30 minutes or so the way things have been going lately. >> absolutely. >> you mentioned about theresa may being the unity candidate. she's played this very smart. she kept her head down during the campaign. even though she was sort of for the remain, she wasn't advocating it. and even some of her critics now have said that she's looking like the adult in the room. >> well, if you look at the history of conservative party leadership contests, you find that actually the favorite very rarely wins, and boris was the overwhelming favorite with bookmakers and indeed with many pundits for some time. instead, what you often find, be

it john major, ian duncan smith is that a unity candidate, someone who can bring the party together is the preferred option. often the reason for that is the conservative party and its members does quite often what is ever necessary to win elections, to win public support. they tend not to be as ideological and as driven by positions on particular issues as, for instance, the labor party have been in recent times. >> well, michael gove, who was boris johnson's deputy, if you like. he was running the campaign for him. he's now come out and said he's standing for the leadership as well. would he have been betting he would get all those leave supporters who were planning to back boris johnson? does that seem likely at this point? >> there were two possible explanations. one is that michael gove thought he could win by presenting himself as the leave candidate, knowing full well that a

majority of conservative members support leaving the european union. the alternative is that he simply wished to stop boris, working on the assumption that if the final two -- because the list of mps has whittled down to just two that are put to the members. his thinking may have been that if boris were put to the members, he would win, and he didn't want that. so it simply may have been an attempt to neutralize the johnson. >> there's a lot of conspiracy theories out there. one of the headlines in the papers this morning had a story that there was a deal between theresa may and boris johnson, and the reason why he dropped out, expecting teri re say may to win and she'll step down before the next election. would this country go through something like this again after tony blair? >> i think it's impossible to predict what we might or might not go through. it has just been the most crazy time. there are lots of theories bandied around about the fact that maybe it's a deal between

george osborne and michael gove or michael gove and theresa may. we just don't know. i'm sure there will be lots of speculation and, indeed, we may never know the true story of what went on behind the scenes both yesterday and moving forward. >> moving forward, let's look at the labor side very quickly. angela eagle, i think she's holding off on a challenge because the labor parliamentary party are trying to work out who would have the best chance at defeating jeremy corbyn. is there anybody who really stands out? >> well, in terms of public opinion, so when you ask the general public, none of the candidates really stand out particularly strongly. among labor party members, again, the people that select this leader, angela eagles is certainly popular, as is dan jarvis, but neither of them are overwhelmingly popular. there's not one candidate that's a candidate that stands out.

angela hinted that she was going to announce her candidacy yesterday. that didn't happen. that may have been due to events at the conservative party. who knows. but it's clear that jeremy corbyn still holds a lot of support among the membership and particularly among those people that voted for him last time. but that is reduced from where he was back prior to the european referendum and prior to the local elections and london may oral elections of last month. >> joe, interesting times as they say. thanks for being with us. joe twieman from yew gov. you're watching cnn. after the break, we'll have the latest on the instanbul terror investigation from hala gorango. you're watching cnn. a flight to athens, georgia. with travelocity, there's no fee to cancel or rebook most flights within 24 hours. travelocity® wander wisely™

i'm hala gorani. it's 10:00 a.m. here in instanbul, where the city is in mourning, honoring the victims lost in the terrorist attack at the airport behind me. >> i'm john vause, it's 8:00 a.m. at number 10 downing street. david cameron announced his resignation here just a week ago, saying the country needs political stability.

but the politics have been anything but stable. >> and i'm natalie allen at cnn center atlanta. we'll look at why donald trump is complaining about his own party. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is c"cnn newsroom." the evidence is now mounting about who might be responsible for those terrorist attacks on tuesday night at ataturk international airport. turkish sources are saying that it all points to the top tiers of isis. a senior turkish says the three terrorists apparently seen in this surveillance video came into turkey a month ago from isis' self-declared capital raqqah in syria. the source says they brought with them with the suicide vests and bombs that they used tuesday

night. now, turkish officials say that the three were originally from uzbekistan, kyrgyzstan, and they're increasingly certain that isis leadership helped plan this attack. the middle east bureau chief for "time" magazine joins me in instanbul now. let's talk about the significance potentially of having some of these fighters from ex-soviet republics carry out this attack, jared. >> well, it's interesting. this is a known phenomenon that's been going on for some time. it's a central part of isis' operation. foreign fighters from soviet republics clug-- we're being to two of these men were from kyrgyzstan and u beck stan. it's interesting in a sense that they are not turks. they're not from syria. and presumably we're being told part of the senior leadership

so -- >> right. but talk to me a little bit about the area, the neighborhood of instanbul where it is reported -- and we had our correspondent nima elbagir go to the apartment where it was reported they spent the month before the attack. would they have stood out? you know instanbul? >> well, they wouldn't have necessarily stood out. this is a giant cosmopolitan city. 14 million people. the neighborhood itself is a vast neighborhood. it's very diverse. it is one of the neighborhoods that is known for having a large syrian expatriot population. so it's entirely possible these men could have blended into their surroundings. that said, there's going to be some very serious questions that turkish law enforcement are going to have to answer about how they were able to go undetected while they planned this attack. >> one neighbor told cnn that she smelled chemicals coming from the elephant thflat they r. authority, as you say, are going to have to answer tough

questions about why these men weren't, you know, spotted earlier. >> right. right. that's one of the questions that the authorities here will have to be held accountable for. >> let's talk about the wider isis issue, the isis threat against turkey and why now. and why this particular target because this isn't, you know, a kurdish rally on the border. i mean this is really at the heart of what modern turkey represents and its tourism industry as well. >> right. there has been a shift in the kinds of attacks that isis has been carrying out in this country. a year ago they were attacking kurdish activists in a kind of proxy war for the war they're fighting in syria, where they're also battling kurdish militias. now they are targeting civilians, international visitors, tourists, and of course, you know, the beating heart of kind of international trade and tourism in this kind of world city. >> yeah. >> and so it's a shift in the symbolism of what they're doing here and going for much more of

a kind of attempt to strike terror into -- >> to achieve what in the end? what is the political aim? >> well, that's kind of one of the deep questions about what isis is up to. in the medium term, we know that isis is losing ground on battlefields in iraq and syria and libya. very significant losses to rival u.s. and iranian-backed factions in all those countries, minus libya, of course. but they are attempting to reverse an image of decline. >> yeah. >> by reclaiming headlines, by indiscriminately killing civilians who have nothing to do with these individual conflicts. >> we heard the youngest victim was 3 years old and was buried just hours ago. thanks very much. inside the airport, a very touching moment yesterday. hundreds of people paused for a memorial service for those who were killed. they left red flowers and

photographs of the victim as the airport imam led them in prayer. across instanbul, more funerals and more heart break. matt rivers has our story. >> reporter: a father in mourning stands watch over his daughter's casket. a gentle hand laid on top. her name was hooda. just 8 years old, the light of his life, killed in the airport attacks. >> she was a very lovely. >> she was very lovely? >> very lovely. >> reporter: killed alongside hooda were three of her aunts, all sisters. karime amir, 24. all of them had just arrived in instanbul to visit family. abdul was the father to the sisters, and 8-year-old hooda's

grandfather. i'm heartbroken, he says. we are so powerless and helpless against these terrorists. he was outside the terminal with his family, waiting for a taxi. he didn't see the explosion, only its after math. i was five meters away from my girls, he says, so i ran over. one was already dead. i took the other three to the hospital. they died too. two of his other daughters and his wife were injured but survived. they're all still in the hospital, unable to join the scores that came to a local mosque for the funeral under a bright thursday sun. funerals like this one have been happening across the city both yesterday and today. it is the muslim tradition to bury victims as soon as possible. of course there are friends and family here, but the majority of people here are just locals, people who worship at this mosque, here to pay their respects after an attack that

hurt this whole city, the whole country. there's so much sadness here, but there's anger too that those who would steal such innocence. may goddamn the terrorists, said the girls' uncle. it's not one or two or three, but four good young people. why are they getting killed? on a small hill near the mosque, the three sisters and little hooda were carried to their grave sites. her father led the way. a fine act of love from a dad to a daughter. matt rivers, cnn, istanbul, turkey. >> all right. i'll have more from istanbul in a little bit this hour. but for now, back to john vause in london. >> hala, thank you. it has been one week since the united kingdom shocked the

world. immediately after that, david cameron came out of his residence behind me here and said he's resigning. many thought the former london mayor boris johnson would be britain's next leader. but on thursday, surprisingly he said he was not running. now one of the people being considered a front-runner is johnson's former alley. cnn's political contributor robert oakley is with me right now. this truly is an extraordinary turn of events that nobody saw coming. although if you look at history, perhaps we should have. >> well, favorites often fail to win the job when people fall. but, i mean, what is so extraordinary about this, john, is that david cameron called this referendum essentially because his own ruling party, the conservatives, have been split on europe for a long time. this was supposed to resolve the great split on europe. instead, we've seen david cameron overthrown. we've seen market turmoil, and we've seen the conservative party now fighting more bitterly than it has ever done before

with personal exchanges becoming absolutely vicious. one mp saying that michael gove, in failing to support boris johnson, his fellow leave campaigner, has found himself -- there's a pit in hell that would be the appropriate place for him. >> and of course the newspapers, who are famous for their headlines here in britain, they're having a great time with this. we'll have a look at some of the morning papers here. james will be our newspaper holder for the day. okay. this is one of my favorites. this is the sun, a picture of boris johnson there, and the headline is, brex ecuted. the daily mirror. justice knifed by his mate. the shaming of boris, the man who betrayed britain. and this is possibly the best. the daily telegraph. an act of midnight treachery. we should note that boris johnson writes for the daily telegraph. >> indeed, and they were both

together at a party shortly before midnight, one with the arm around the shoulders of the area. >> so that's the reference. and, you know, a lot of comparisons now being made on social media out there and in the press of the comparisons with the tv series "house of cards." there was this article in the hiving ton post where they mocked up a picture of what was the american house of cards. michael gove is there, sitting in abe lincoln's chair, no longer starring boris johnson. what is incredible about all of this is this husband and wife team, michael gove and his wife. at least the conspiracy theories say they're in cahoots together. >> yeah, his wife is a columnist for the daily mail, and a lot of trouble started with a leaked e-mail -- >> a leaked e-mail. >> yes, perhaps deliberately. leaked e-mail from her to her husband, michael gove, saying, look, in negotiations with boris -- because he was to be boris' campaign chief in boris johnson's business for the

leadership, just make sure you have some people with you and you get things in writing. that was the first sign we had of the distrust between the two of them. but, you know, all of this, the kind of machinations that are going on, the scheming, the plotting, theresa may, who now becomes the strongest candidate for the conservative leadership and to become the next prime minister, she had in her launch speech, she had a line which was obviously designed to undermine boris johnson which said, look, you people have got to remember that you need to learn that politics is a serious business that affects a lot of people. it's not a game. well, that now will help to undermine michael gove as well because this has been dismissed as student politics by some of the other conservatives. >> the thing about theresa may, though, is her speech, it's getting a lot of praise and a lot of comparisons with other very strong female leaders in europe. >> well, indeed. i mean like angela merkel,

perhaps the strongest politician in europe though not as strong as she was. they're both daughters of priests. comparisons with margaret thatcher. well, like margaret thatcher, theresa may doesn't do jokes, doesn't do a lot of chatting round the tea rooms and bars of the house of commons. like margaret thatcher, she's a workaholic. but unlike margaret thatcher, she's not a very ideological politician. she's quite a pragmatist. she'll fight her corner on different issues, but there's not that sort of sense of political vision for a particular set of values. >> but right now, given all the turmoil this country has gone through on both sides of politics here, an uncertain future what will happen with the brexit, for someone like theresa may who in normal times probably wouldn't be considered much of a leading candidate to become prime minister, those qualities are very much in demangd. >> the fact she's a little bit dull and not too exciting is

what people want after the overexcitement we've had through all this. >> it's been great speaking with you. i know you've been following this throughout the day, and these are incredible times for britain. they've never seen anything like this before, and it's not done yet. there's a long way to go and a short time to do it. thanks, robin. eu leaders will this week meet in brussels to discuss britain's future in and out of the bloc. but outside, everyday people are also reacting to the brexit. our nic robertson has that. the brexit blues in brussels. >> reporter: a cloud hangs over brussels. several actually. and some rain. but it's not the weather dampening spirits. it's brexit. >> for english people, it's a big mistake, okay? >> reporter: upon the driz drizzled cobbles, witness over centuries europe's wars, yusef now sells his art. >> in my opinion, it's not a good idea. it's better that we will be

together. >> reporter: 20 years here, he is iranian, but european in spirit. the possibility is with britain leaving, then, there will be less tourists. >> yeah, they will get less of course for me. >> reporter: that's not so good. >> for me neither, no. for the business also, it's not so good. >> reporter: across town, near the eu headquarters, no less for lorne. >> my boyfriend is english actually so even on a personal level, it's not a very good decision. so i really regret the decision. >> it is disappointing. i'm not a eurosceptic. i'm very pro-european. >> reporter: with the disappointment, there is concern. the european project is foundering. >> this was just one sign that people are really unsatisfied and unhappy with the way europe is going for the moment, and i think if there were other referendums in other countries, we might have similar results. >> reporter: not an idle fear. this skeptic ready to jump on

the brexit bandwagon. >> now as a citizen with this referendum set, europe does work well and is not for the citizen. >> reporter: arriving home from a week at the beach, this young belgian shell shocked. >> makes me have the feeling that stuff is falling apart. so, yeah, that's not very positive. i'm thinking now what's going to be next. are there other countries going to leave? >> reporter: but in the gloom, a ray of hope. and boris johnson pulling out of the race for prime minister? >> well, at least some good news in this rainy weather today. >> reporter: no bad feelings in brussels, then. >> nic robertson there with a view from brussels. let's hand it back now to nat al a allen. natalie will have much more on the fallout from the brexit later this hour. >> all right, john. thanks. donald trump says he's running against two parties,

including his own. we'll tell you next what some republicans say they need before endorsing him. also here, u.s. officials say owners of hundreds of thousands of hondas and acuras need to stop driving their cars immediately. the issue, the exploding air bags. we'll have more in a moment. you're watching "cnn newsroom." honey, we need to talk. we do? i took the trash out. i know. and thank you so much for that. i think we should get

and welcome back to "cnn newsroom." donald trump is very likely to become the republican presidential nominee, but he is still struggling with a problem he has faced since his campaign started. gaining the support of key leaders from his own party. what's still the problem? here's senior white house correspondent jim acosta. [ applause ] >> reporter: just weeks before he's set to become the republican nominee, donald trump isn't feeling like the life of the party. >> it's almost in some ways like i'm running against two parties. >> yeah, no kidding. >> but i'm not sure it matters because i think we're going to win. >> reporter: trump is now openly complaining at his rallies about

his past rivals refusing to endorse him despite signing a gop loyalty pledge to support the party's eventual nominee, a document trump agreed to himself. >> they broke their word. in my opinion, they should never be allowed to run for public office again because what they did is disgraceful. >> reporter: but it's not just trump's opponents from the primaries. gop senators are hesitating to get on board big-time. >> donald trump was not my second choice. he was not my third choice. and i'm going to see what happens at the convention. it's going to be very important to me whom donald trump chooses as his running mate. and that is arguably the most important decision that a candidate can make. >> reporter: on trump's vice presidential search, cnn has learned new jersey governor chris christie is being vetted by the campaign. one source cautions it's not clear how high christie is on the list. utah senator mike lee in an interview with "the huffington post" is urging trump to

consider texas senator ted cruz, but lee is still furious that trump once floated a bogus conspiracy theory about cruz's father. >> he accused my best friend's father of conspiring to kill jfk. >> reporter: trump's message on trade remains a interpreter worry for republicans. consider his latest verbal assault on mexico, a key u.s. trading partner. >> their leaders are so much smarter, so much sharper, and it's incredible. in fact, that could be a mexican plane up there. they're getting ready to attack. >> reporter: a recent poll showed that a little more than half of republicans would rather vote for somebody else besides trump. that's a lot of ground to make up. the gop convention only three weeks away. jim acosta, cnn, manchester. the u.s. attorney general is facing criticism after she met with bill clinton. loretta lynch says she spoke briefly with the former president on monday after they realized they were on the same airport tarmac. some democrats and republicans are calling the meeting a

conflict of interest. lynch is overseeing the ongoing investigation into hillary clinton's private e-mail server. >> you see a thing like this, and even in terms of judgment, how bad a judgment is it for him or for her to do this? i mean who would -- who would do this? >> lynch, however, is reassuring that the investigation has not been compromised or politicized. >> he did come over and say hello and speak to my husband and myself and talk about his grandchildren and his travels and things like that. so that was the extent of that, and no discussions were held on any cases or anything of that. and he did raise anything about that either. >> u.s. federal safety regulators are urging the owners of more than 300,000 hondas and acuras to stop driving those cars immediately. they say new tests show takata air bags in these kwcars have a higher risk of exploding and killing passengers or the

driver. regulators call the risk grave and say owners should have the air bags replaced right away. you'll find a list of the affected cars online at cnn money. u.s. regulators are also investigating the auto pilots on tesla cars after a deadly crash. the self-driving system is supposed to automatically steer vehicles on highways, change lanes, and adjust speed and let drivers take their hands off the wheel. officials say a driver in florida died when his tesla collided with a truck that turned in front of him. tesla said the auto pilot could not tell the white side of the truck from the brightly lit sky, and the brake wasn't applied. u.s. president barack obama has signed a bill to help puerto rico get out of its massive economic crisis. the u.s. territory has run up nearly $70 billion of debt. the island is widely expected to miss most, if not all, of a $2 billion bond payment it owes

creditors. the bill signed by mr. obama will not provide funds to pay the debt, but it does prevent bond holders from suing puerto rico for a few months. the u.s. military is immediately lifting a ban which had forbidden transgender personnel from serving openly. defense secretary ash carter announced the policy change which rights groups quickly hailed. the move affects up to 11,000 transgender troops serving right now. carter said it is a matter of principle. >> i'm also confident that we have reason to be proud today of what this will mean for our military because it's the right thing to do, and it's another step in ensuring that we continue to recruit and retain the most qualified people. and good people are the key to the best military in the world. our military and the nation it defends will be stronger. >> gays, lesbians and bisexuals

have been allowed to serve openly in the u.s. armed forces since the don't ask/don't tell policy was ended in 2011. next here, we'll get back live to istanbul and the possible connection between the deadly airport attack there and the brothers who bombed the boston marathon. stay with us.

i'm hala gorani at ataturk airport in istanbul. yet another person as succumbed to injuries from the suicide bombing, bringing the death toll to 44. police have been showing people in one istanbul neighborhood a picture of the three men who they believe carried out the attack. turkish officials say they have strong evidence that they were directed by isis leadership from inside syria, is what they're telling us. another new surveillance video obtained this time by an italian newspaper shows one of the suicide bombers running through the airport. you see it there, brandishing his gun. turkish officials tell cnn that tuesday's attack was well-planned, and sources are

revealing new details about who was behind it. >> reporter: the three men who carried out the deadly suicide bombings at ataturk airport entered turkey from syria about a month before the attacks. a turkish government source telling cnn there's strong evidence isis leaders were involved in planning the attack at the international terminal and a nearby parking lot. >> even after the one assailant was shot, despite the fact that there were no victims in his immediate proximity, he still killed himself using his suicide vest. these were people who were committed to seeing this attack out to its completion. >> reporter: authorities found a russian passport from dagestan believed to belong to one of the bombers. the other men from the former soviet republics of uzbekistan and kyrgyzstan. isis puts foreign fighters into regional brigades based on their

nationalities. it's possible the men served together says terror expert william bran if. >> it's very likely that because of things like common language, these individuals would have fought together as a part of isis. they would be then maybe more trustworthy to send across the border to conduct this kind of high-impact operation because they have a shared history, and they could act as a cell. >> reporter: if dagestan sounds familiar, it's because it's the same war-torn region associated with the two boston marathon bombers. dzhokhar and tamerlan tsarnaev came to the united states after living in dagestan, where authorities believe tamerlan became radicalized. [ gunfire ] >> reporter: there are as many as 7,000 foreign fighters who have traveled from russia and the former soviet republics to join isis. more than half are thought to be from dagestan and neighboring chechnya where islamist leaders have pledged loyalty to isis. experts say hitting a major tourist destination in turkey,

which borders syria, is not surprising. >> their modus operandi is to destabilize regimes, primarily in the muslim world. and so destabilizing turkey is a really, really good way to remain strategically relevant even if you're losing terrain in iraq and syria. >> reporter: another reason these battle hardened terrorists may have targeted turkey is because turkey is now better patrolling its airports, looking for isis members. that doesn't sit well with isis, which may be sending a message there's a price to pay for any sort of crackdown whatsoever. deborah they're rick, cnn, new york. >> and we're learning more about the 44 victims killed in the istanbul airport attack. 28-year-old hussein was a high school teacher. he was killed when he went to meet a friend arriving at the airport. in addition to his family, many of his students came to his funeral. thursday, his brother says he

was a religious man and was fasting during ramadan. fati was a tunisian doctor who had been in turkey for about two months. here's the cruel irony. he was trying to rescue his own son from isis in iran. a colleague says the doctor was a veteran of many humanitarian missions, including this one after an earthquake in algeria. 8-year-old hooda amiri and three ef her aunts were laid to rest thursday. the sisters were just 24, 16, and 14 years old. they had just arrived in istanbul to visit family. hooda's grandmother and two other aunts are still in the hospital. istanbul's ataturk airport quickly resumed flights after tuesday's terror attacks, some say perhaps too quickly. but on thursday, activities in the departures hall came to a halt. hundreds gather ed to honor those lost in the attack. our ja ma na ca ra chankarachi .

the departures area at ataturk international airport came to a standstill for a few minutes. these are the faces of some of the victims of the terror attack. their names and underneath it the message, we won't forget. not everyone knew them, but on this day, passengers and employees here came together to honor the dead. all right. there you have it. we're going to be back with much more news after a short break on cnn. i'm hala gorani. do stay with us.

welcome back, everybody. just gone 8:40 on a friday morning. the past week has been filled with political chaos following the vote to leave the eu. the economy is also in disarray. the bank of england says the british economy needs help, and it may cut interest rates soon.

>> now, in my view -- and i'm not prejudging the views of other independent members of the mpc -- the economic outlook as deteriorated, and some monetary policy easing will likely be required over the summer. >> now, the governor of the bank of england, mark carney, was trying to calm all the uncertainty. but the pound fell against the u.s. dollar by more than 1% after that statement. it is falling further at the moment, currently down a fifth of a percent against the dollar. callen williams is the britain economic correspondent for the economist. he joins us now from our london studios. i want to talk about the fallout which continues from this decision and seems to be hitting the eu right now. they've been hit with a credit down grade by standards and poors. what's the reason for that, and what are the implications? >> well, the reason for the down grade is really twofold. one, because the outlook for uk growth has deteriorated

substantially since the vote to leave the eu. and the second reason is that policy making in the uk has become extremely unpredictable. just bear in mind that the credit rating agencies are looking at the credit worthiness of the us government. if the government is in disarray, it looks less likely they're going to meet their obligations. >> and the growth forecast here for britain has also been cut. economic uncertainty. how much of that is being driven by the current political uncertainty? >> well, i think a large amount has been driven by that. i mean i think if you're looking to invest in the uk, if you're someone either abroad or within the uk, you've got money to spend on, you know, factories or coal, whatever. at the moment, you are holding back because you simply do not know even the likely path that, you know, the uk government is going to embark on as regarding its relationship with the european union. that makes the whole outlook extremely uncertain, and that's primarily why the uk is likely

to fall into recession by the end of this year. >> well, the bank of england is promising more stimulus for the economy to try and get it over the worse of the economic turmoil. and that does seem to at least stabilize the markets. in some way, is the central bank making up for the consequences of the decisions which have been made by the politicians? >> well, mark carney is doing a good job. but you have to remember the bank of england has almost no room for maneuver whatsoever because interest rates are already at 0.5%, which is the lowest on record. so they can't really cut interest rates much further, and as everyone knows, they have embarked on a large program of conservative easing. so they are already doing quite a lot to keep the economy going. so i think it would be a mistake to say the bank of england can save everything. >> looking at the current situation now and what the government is going to have to do to get over this period of uncertainty, economic stimulus, cutting the interest rates, does that now mean the government's plan to try and fix the books, if you like, to try and fix the

deficit, has that now been reduced to rubble? >> i think that is not -- that may well be true. the tax take is likely to suffer significantly, even really from this point onwards. and that means that come november when there's going to be another kind of big round of forecasts and so on, official forecasts on the public finances, we'd be highly surprised if there weren't a large downgrade in the likely path of the uk's public finances. >> so basically all those years of austerity have been for naught? >> i mean you could say that. you could say that. i think the overall plan of the government is to have a budget surplus at some point. currently the official plan is by 2020. already that target was looking a little bit dubious because growth was slowing already and so on. but now that growth is likely to significantly slow or the country is going to fall into recession, which we think is quite likely, the chance that we'll be able to eliminate the

budget deficit by 2020 looks fairly small to us. >> okay. calum, thanks for being us. appreciate it. well, cornwall, which is about five hours southwest of here voted to leave the eu last week. and now it wants to keep the millions of pounds in eu subsidies it gets every year. phil black is live in cornwall right now. phil, it seems they want their brexit cake and to eat it too. >> reporter: indeed, john, yes. hundreds of millions of pounds is being invested here in cornwall, money that has come from the european union. it is targeted at communities, areas of europe that requires development, where poverty and that sort of thing is an issue. and so here in cornwall as traditional industries like fisheries and so forth have suffered over the years, it has received this money to build up roads, infrastructure, to go into training, education,

boosting the economy, creating jobs. that's the whole idea. as i say, it's a huge sum of money. despite that, it did not stop the people of cornwall voting in favor of britain leaving the european union. 56% in total voted for brexit. now people here, certainly the local authorities, are looking at potentially a huge black hole in their plans to develop this region. and so they are hoping -- appealing, really, to the british government to step in and match that money. of course whether that happens or not, that will depend on the government of the day. the prevailing economic conditions and budgetary priorities. so their optimistic request, having voted for brexit, is for britain to now step up and fill the gap, john. >> i guess on the positive side, though, there's an expectation there that there may be some kind of boost from increased tourism. >> reporter: there is the potential for that if the pound stays weak in the sense that

british people may not find it as affordable to travel overseas, so they'll holiday locally. and people from overseas will find this more attractive because it will be cheaper for them to come here. so a potential boost there. but it also depends on what else is going on with the economy as well, particularly in terms of domestic tourism. if the rest of the economy is weak, if there's inflation, it depends on what interest rates do, all these sorts of things, the pressures on households, these were ultimately influence and determine whether or not fewer people come to cornwall for a holiday. and like so many things in the current situation across the country, it's really largely unknown at this time. >> yeah, there are so many unknowns out there. phil, thank you. phil black live this hour in cornwall. we will take a short break. much more when we come back. you're watching cnn.

welcome back. hong kong is marking the 19th anniversary of the british handover of the territory to china. in an official ceremony, hong kong's top leader called for greater cooperation with beijing. outside, pro-democracy protesters scuffled with police. activists say beijing is violating the one country/two systems rule by enforcing its laws in hong kong. the question is, is this more of a celebration or more of a protest? let's find out from our asia pacific editor andrew stevens. he joins me now live from the rally. hello to you, andrew. >> reporter: hello, natalie. the rally is under way here. this is the protest rally which covers a whole lot of issues to do with hong kong. but the theme this year is about trying to see the back of the

current chief executive, the leader of hong kong, a deeply unpopular man. and the theme at this year's rally is for him to stand down. having said that, there are many, many issues which bring people out onto the streets every july 1st to mark the official handover of hong kong back to china. they can range from more rights for helpers in hong kong, workers' rights. also for animal concerns. so it really is a broad, broad range. but at the moment, as you can see behind me -- i don't know if you can sort of see going back here, that is a queue that will snake back perhaps one, maybe two kilometers behind me. it's a crowd, a very good-natured crowd, i'd say, makes their way to central hong kong, where they will hold another rally. it's full of all sorts of people from all walks of life here. these rallies do tend to bring out people with grievances, with concerns about the economy,

particularly about politics. what's happened this year in particular, the focal point, if you like, of this rally was an appearance at the front of the rally by a hong kong book seller who had been abducted on the border with hong kong and china and held in detention for six months. he was released. he has been speaking to the local press about what he talks about is his mental torture, which really did shock the people of hong kong. he was one of five book sellers who were abducted. now, these booksellers have been selling books which basically contain salacious gossip about the leaders in beijing. they were taken. they were picked up. three of them on the border with hong kong, one here in hong con, one actually in thailand, where they were taken into detention and interrogated. they have now returned home. but certainly that has been a major issue. and one of those booksellers was supposed to be here today. he pulled out at the last minute, natalie, saying that he feared for his personal safety.

one of his people said that he would -- he had been followed for the last couple of days, and he did not feel comfortable coming out in public today. so at the moment, the usual political figures are leading this march. this is going to go on for several more hours here in hong kong. as always, july 1st, very, very hot day here in hong kong, but it doesn't seem to deter people coming out. organizers say they want to see 100,000 people. still early in the day. we'll get a much better idea of numbers a bit later. >> my computer is frozen up. >> andrew, thanks so much for that report. i'm hearing a report that our coverage of this rally where you are is being blocked out in china. can you tell us about that? >> reporter: hardly surprising because the background of this, of course, is hong kong is a separate, autonomous region within china. that handover very clearly

stipulated that hong kong will be one country -- sorry -- china will be one country, but there will be two systems. there will be the system of mainland china and the system of hong kong. and this is critical to hong kong's freedoms. what it enshrines, natalie, was there was freedom of speech, freedom of expression, freedom of assembly like this. you would not see this in any street in beijing. certainly not sanctioned. so these are the sort of principles that have been guiding hong kong, and hong kong has been jealously guarding in the 19 years since the handover. beijing does not want this sort of scene, if you like, broadcast in china. they don't want the chinese people to see a part of china protesting freely against a leader who was, in effect, chosen by beijing, natalie. >> andrew stevens covering the rally for us there in hong kong live. thank you so much, andrew. and thank you for watching "cnn
