"cnn newsroom" starts right now. there are new details coming in coming to surface about the gunman behind the bangladesh terror attack. the cnn men who stored that cafe in daca on friday, that they were all bangladeshy citizens that killed 20 hostages and two police officers during that standoff. troops ended the siege on saturday. 13 hostages were rescued. new video is believed to sh show commandos moving in. it appears to be recorded from a building that is adjacent to the restaurant. cnn can't confirm its authenticity.
1:02 am
you get a sense of what was happening there. you get to hear it there. more on the bangladeshi terror attack. alexandra field is on the line with us from daca. what more do we know about these attackers at this point? >> reporter: george, the official mourning period is happening now. investigators are learning more about the attackers who have been identified as bangladeshis. 20 people killed inside that restaura restaurant. two police officers killed. the commandos rushed in to free the 13 hostages.
1:03 am
right now the streets are blocked off. the victims of this, bangladeshi and from japan. one japanese official has already arrived. they sent counter terrorism experts and families have been flown in. meanwhile, officials have already arrived. they're waiting for investigators to come up with more answers. isis is claiming responsibility for this. u.s. officials are now focusing on isis as well. that's developing after a media
1:04 am
sighting of al qaeda who say they are the attackers.'s monda. commandos swarmed in. >> alexandra field live for us live in dhaka, bangladesh. it was a little tough to hear on that line, but we got the gist of that reporting. we'll stay in touch with you and hear from you next hour. the majority of dhaka victims were from italy. the country's football team paid tribute on saturday. players wore black arm bands in
1:05 am
their match against germany. italy is now in mourning. >> translator: facing another attack, it is time for italy to be united to give a message of sorrow and compassion. today we can cry. we have great determination, great strength and great know that italy will not give up. italy has been hit but it is not on its knees. >> cnn contributor joins us from rome. barb, you heard italy will not backtrack. very strong reaction there. >> reporter: absolutely. the kurn tcountry really is in mourning. they're saying this is the second time italians has been attacked. the first in 2015 in bardo.
1:06 am
nine italians died in this attack. they woke up to stories of ordinary people whose lives were cut short. a 33-year-old woman who was pregnant ready to come home tomorrow left a facebook notice saying i'll see you all monday at the airport. she was killed. a 47-year-old man who had 3-year-old twins. he's dead. these stories really add to the tragedy of the situation and really the sense of shock here in italy, george. >> and are we hearing anything, barbie, just from family members? i understand that italy is in mourning, but how are people coming together? >> reporter: well, you know, these italians were from all over the country and we're expecting to have a candlelight vigil tonight in rome. our people will gather and pray for the victims. we're expecting pope francis when he makes his noon address to call people together and pray for the victims. people are really in the little towns and bigger cities were
1:07 am
holding their own sorts of vigils and paying homage to the people. we don't know when the bodies will be returned. we can expect some sort of honor to be given to these people who lost their lives for a senseless reason. >> barbie live in rome. thank you for the reporting today. islamist extremists have been carrying out violence in bangladesh with alarming frequency. while this most recent attack targeted an area popular with foreigners, others have focused on secular groups. there have been 35 hacking attacks, people hacked to death. these carried out in the last 14 months. this according to the u.s. ambassador to bangladesh. of those, 23 attacks have been claimed by islamic terror groups. reports of hacking deaths go back to 2013 with most targeting bloggers and those considered to
1:08 am
be going against islam. let's get some context now on what's been happening in bangladesh with an international security expert and associate professor of international relations in dhaka joins us via skype. good to have you with us, sir. let's first talk about what's been happening in that country. we've seen so many of these targeted attacks on individuals, secular bloggers. we've seen this and we've heard from the prime minister that terrorism must be rooted out. this is, in fact, coming from a government that has in the past to some extent denied that terrorism was even an issue. >> i think this is becoming one of the major national security concerns in bangladesh. over the past 14 months we have seen the attacks on the seculars as well as on the general
1:09 am
public. you have seen the day before yesterday, the killing of 20 nationals, of our nationals, is ultimately the manifestation of that continued attack at the highest level. now, of course, what we have seen over the past few months is the rise of extremism in this country. this extremism has two components. it has home grown components and trans national components, too. given that i think the situation has come to an extreme imposition. i would like to mention that the country you're talking about, bangladesh, is heavily condemning. if you walk around the towns and the cities people are extremely annoyed with these and people are extremely, extremely
1:10 am
condemning any kind of islamist or right wing extremism. in general, the situation is not good, but on the other hand the people are absolutely aware of the fact that this is not something that goes with our society or culture. perhaps the government has taken a strong action not to comply with any kind of extremist plans. >> as you rightly point out given this terrible attack that happened at dhaka at this cafe, that people are rattled. we have heard from government officials that they do recognize, they are seeing terrorism as a problem there. the question that many people will be asking will be, you know, what sort of steps will be put in place. how will the government take this problem on?
1:11 am
>> there are things you will see coming up. one, now we need to revamp and restructure our law enforcement framework. i would like to give the credit to the armed force particularly who carried out the operation and they rescued 13 people, but that also gives us an uneasy situation. the law enforcement agencies are actually able to prevent. this is a big lesson since this is the first time this has happened, something like that, in this country. i think one task will be to revamp and then obviously we need some sort of political leadership which the prime mainster is well able to do. perhaps the government should reach out to the community, to reach out to the youth society and inat the great that.
1:12 am
there should be some sort of solution to this problem so we cannot afford to marginalize anybody or exclude any particular political entity or social entity. so this has to be hosted. thirdly, we need to have international cooperation. we do have intelligence capacity, but the problem is how do we use this intelligence capacity? so that i think the government as well as the international community, rather than seeing it as an individual problem or a problem of specific country whether you have to see it from a global perspective, too m. so the communication with the agency is a must.
1:13 am
we are still in a position which can be dealt with without much pull. >> shabab enam khan, we appreciate your insights. thank you for being with us. we're all together in mourning as that country is in mourning. we move on now to baghdad. the number of deaths in twin car bombings at the iraqi capitol has risen to 80 people. more than 130 people are wounded. the blasts happened saturday in central and southeastern baghdad. isis has claimed responsibility for one of the attacks. the group said on social media that it was targeting shiites. terror in turkey. that nation honoring the lives of 44 people killed in last week's terror attacks as authorities continue their investigation.
1:14 am
on saturday turkish president erdogan visited a make shift memorial. three suicide bombers attacked the airport on tuesday. police believe a russian jihadist and isis lieutenant coordinated the assault. they don't know where he is presently. ivan watson is live in istanbul following this. ivan, let's talk about the fact, very important to see the turkish president visiting that airport. how significant was it for people there? >> reporter: you know, i wasn't present on the scene, but he has been coming out now consistently for the past several days speaking out trying to honor the victims, the 44 victims and on saturday there was a 44th victim a i 3-year-old palestinian/jordanian boy who succumb to his injuries. of course, we have dozens of
1:15 am
additional people that are still fighting for their lives in hospitals here. erdogan, the turkish president, has come out and vowed vengeance. he said for every one of us that they killed we'll kill ten. as far as the investigation goes, george, we really haven't gotten any update in some 48 hours now from the turkish authorities beyond two names of the three bombers and the possible nationalities that one comes from russia, another comes from the central asian republic of kierdstan. we don't know why it's so close to their chest. the turkish authorities have
1:16 am
stayed quiet. this is going to be part of a much broader struggle against isis, not just across the border in syria but very much here at home in cities like the commercial capitol of istanbul. that is something that is very clear and all you've got to do is look around the city and realize how much emptier it is than it would normally be and just talk to people. you realize that there is really a sense of dread that many turks have seen. >> ivan watson, thank you so much for the reporting. we'll stay in touch with you. still ahead on cnn, hillary clinton spent her saturday talking to the fbi about her e-mails. why the presumptive democratic nominee said she was eager to answer their questions. stay with us.
1:17 am
"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."

1:19 am
1:20 am
america's choice 2016 and the presumptive democratic presidential nominee for president met with the fbi for several hours on saturday to talk about the investigation
1:21 am
that is casting a shadow over her campaign. sources say the whole thing could be wrapped up soon. chris phrase has details. >> reporter: hillary clinton came to fbi headquarters behind me son saturday to sit for a 3 1/2 hour interview with federal officials who are investigating the use of her private e-mail server. the clinton campaign putting out, quote, secretary clinton gave a voluntary statement this morning. she's happy to assist the department of justice to bring this investigation to a conclusion. she will not comment further on her interview. this is from nick merrill. hillary clinton's aides have been brought in. this is when the fbi brings in the subject for an interview. in fact, sources telling cnn that right now there's not enough evidence to charge hillary clinton with any crimes
1:22 am
and barring any big game changers in this interview today, they don't expect that there will be any charges brought against hillary clinton and they may announce that in the next few weeks. that would be welcome news for the clinton campaign and democrats who want to put this issue off the table before the democratic convention in three weeks. republicans continue to hit hillary clinton on this issue. in fact, donald trump tweeted this on saturday. he said, quote, it is impossible for the fbi not to recommend criminal charges against hillary clinton. what she did was wrong. what bill did was stupid. donald trump there talking about bill clinton earlier this week meeting with loretta lynch on the tarmac of phoenix international airport. he popped over when their planes were sharing the tarmac to have a social call with loretta lynch. came under huge criticism for that. loretta lynch is overseeing this investigation. republicans are going to continue to hit hillary clinton on this no matter what the
1:23 am
outcome of the fbi investigation is. chris frates, cnn. we're hearing again from the presumptive republican nominee who later wrote on twitter, quote, it was just announced by sources that no charges will be brought against crooked hillary clinton. like i said, the system is totally rigged. now on to australia. federal elections remain too close to call there. saturday poll results show them in a dead heat so far. final results are expected no sooner than tuesday. despite the uncertainty, australia's prime minister remains optimistic. >> tonight, my friends, i can report that based on the advice i have from the party officials we can have every confidence that we will form a coalition majority government in the next round.
1:24 am
it is -- it is a very, very close count. it is a very close count, as you know. >> the prime minister is leading the caretaker government for now. about 50,000 protesters marched through the streets of london on saturday angered by the uk's vote to leave the european union. organizers say millennials made up most of the crowd. cnn's john vause say voters feel cheated by campaign lies. >> reporter: the call went out on social media and thousands answered flooding into the heart of the capitol. this is the start of the pro eu rally, the angry brexit rally here. this call of the people stretches back maybe a kilometer. what do they want, the eu and they want it now. they plan on marching towards parliament.
1:25 am
>> what do we want? the eu. when do we want it? now. >> reporter: there's anger here from the leader of the independence party nigel barage who many blame for a surge of crimes. are you worried about the rise of racism? >> yes, i have already experienced it. i have experienced several incidents. one of them was telling me to pack my bags and leave on social media. >> reporter: and angered. the former london mayor boris johnson. >> boris is a liar. boris is a liar. >> reporter: many believe he led a leave campaign which is based on lies. >> i feel that the public was lied to very comprehensively and directly. >> reporter: by the leave
1:26 am
campaign? >> by the remain campaign. >> reporter: while there are demands for a second referendum, a petition has more than 4 million signatures. most want parliament to ignore the result arguing it was nonbinding. >> i don't think we are going to leave europe. >> reporter: good. how are you going to stop leaving europe? >> basically the referendum is an advisory thing. it still has to be voted in parliament, parliamentarians. i think events like this is about showing the support of the actual majority, some people didn't vote. ensuring that we stay in europe. it's not over. >> reporter: they took that message directly to parliament. >> i stand with you decent british values are the values of the european union. thank you.
1:27 am
♪ all we are saying is giving us a chance ♪ >> reporter: keep in mind, the london voters voted to stay in the eu and the rest voted to leave. it seems to have exposed deeper divisions. john vause, cnn. >> john vause, thank you the the world is mourning the death of renowned holocaust survivor eli. his work is remembered still ahead.

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and around the world, you're
1:31 am
watching "cnn newsroom." it is good to have you with us. i'm george howell with the headlines we're following for you this hour. in bangladesh after the terrible terror attack there, the nation's prime minister has declared two days of mourning for the victims of dhaka's hostage siege. 20 hostages were found dead inside a bakery after troops stormed the cafe killing six gunmen saturday morning. isis has claimed responsibility for that attack which lasted more than ten hours. at least 80 people are dead, more than 130 wounded after two separate attacks in the iraqi capitol city of baghdad. car bombs went off in central and southeastern parts of the city on saturday. isis has claimed responsibility for one of those attacks. the fbi has questioned hillary clinton about her use of a private e-mail server while she had the role of secretary of state. clinton's campaign said she participated in saturday's interview voluntarily. sources tell cnn the presumptive u.s. democratic presidential
1:32 am
nominee is unlikely to face criminal charges. now holocaust survivor elie wiesel has died at the age of 87 years old. he was em prisoned at auschwitz during world war ii. his experiences were chronicaled in his memoir "night." a public memorial will be announced at a later date. richard roth has more on wiesel's extraordinary life and the legacy that he leaves behind. >> reporter: he would become the most famous survivor of the holocaust, but at the age of 15, elie wiesel had no fear when his family was rounded up in hungary by the nazis. >> at the very last minute we had no idea that auschwitz existed. >> reporter: that changed when he was transported by cattle car with hundreds of others.
1:33 am
>> i knew something terrible. it was something terrifying. >> reporter: arrival at auschwitz, the extermination camp. an elder told them, tell them you're 18 years old, a candidate for work, it would save his life or what would pass for life in the death camps. trapped in a nightmare wiesel sustained himself by keeping his father alive. father and son were later taken to another camp. his father died just weeks before the u.s. army arrived. >> the gate opens from german concentration camps. >> reporter: this picture was taken after liberation. wiesel is in the second level of the bunk next to the beam. he would later say he didn't recognize himself. wiesel lamented there was no grave of his father to visit when he toured in 2009 with
1:34 am
german chancellor merkel and president obama. >> what should i tell him? that the world has learned i am not social. >> reporter: wiesel started asking questions after the war becoming a journalist. it took years before he talked about the horrors he experienced. in his book called "night" an eventual best seller. in 1985 he implored president reagan not to visit a german grave site. on saddam hussein. >> it's not. >> maria: ter of war, it's a matter of intervention. >> on sudan. >> it's a scandal that we didn't stop terror. >> reporter: and on ak ma din any jad.
1:35 am
>> this man is a disgrace. >> reporter: he was named a messenger of peace by the united nations, the organization founded as a result of world war ii. he would ask the u.n. security council. >> why am i involved in tragic events that occurred to people i've never met? it is because i belong to a traumatized generation hounded by the world's indifference. >> reporter: the eli wiesel foundation was set up for tolerance. they were among the victims of financial schemer bernard madoff. wiesel said he was a writer and teacher. he serves to remind nations to not let it happen again. >> as a teacher i always believe in questions. the question is will the world ever learn? thank you.
1:36 am
>> will the world ever learn? elie wiesel died at the age of 87 years old. for more on his life and legacy we bring in warren lieberman following the reaction, quite frankly, that's coming in from so many leaders around the world, from president barack obama to benjamin netanyahu in israel. >> reporter: president obama put out a very powerful message, quite a long message calling elie wiesel one of the great moral voices of our time. let me read you a part of this to convey how powerful this message is from president obama. as a writer, speaker, activist and thinker, he was one of the people who changed the world more as a citizen of the world than those who hold office. his life and the power of his example urges us to be better. in the face of evil we must summon our capacity for good. in the face of hate we must love. in the face of cruelty we must live with empathy and compassion. we must never be bystanders to
1:37 am
injustice. imagine the peace and justice that will be possible in our world if we all lived a little more like elie wiesel. if you read his work, "night" or one of the others, or if you heard him speak, no matter what he had been through his message was still at his heart inherently positive, he believed after going through the nazi concentration camps, he believed in the goodness of society. that part of his message is something we've seen and those that have been coming from here in israel and all around the world. his passing is not necessarily just an israeli story or jewish study, let me read you a portion of prime minister benjamin netanyahu's statement. we deeply mourn the death of
1:38 am
elie wiesel. it is messages like this, george, that we've seen pouring in. let me read you one more bit. this is from the nobel committee in 1986. they said he is one of the most important spiritual leaders on violence, racism and repression that continues to characterize the world. so many powerful messages, george, and i expect so many more over the course of the day and later in this week. >> warren, one of his legacy, how he is remembered in israel? >> i think part of what will be remembered is what we're already seeing, the fact that no matter what he went through, no matter what he saw especially as a human rights activist is his positive message. believing in the face of evil you can be good and you believe in the goodness of humanity. that honesty, that personal belief in the positive nature of people is something that will be remembered in statements, speeches, ceremonies that will
1:39 am
be held today and throughout this week. his family saying he passed peacefully after a long battle with illness. we know from the statements, from his writings that his memory and his message will certainly live on. >> i'm struck by the last comment that mr. wiesel in that report that came before our report here, will the world ever learn? warren lieberman, live for us in jerusalem. thank you for your report. this is "cnn newsroom." we'll be back after a short break. "ow..." "are you okay?" "yeah, i just got charged for my credit monitoring. that's how i know it"s working." "ah. you know you can go on creditkarma.com and check it out there. it's completely free."

some good things to share about the ozone layer which shields the earth from harmful ultraviolet rays.
1:43 am
showing encouraging signs that it is beginning to heal. meteorologist eric van dam is here. >> scientists have figured out that the ozone which is a protective shield of gases around the earth's atmosphere starting to replenish itself. this is good news. without these ozone gases high up in the stratos fear, we have the potential for lower crop yields. we have the potential to disrupt the ocean's food chains and also the higher risk of skin cancer, george. let me explain what the ozone is and what it isn't. where is it located? a look at the atmosphere we have the troposphere and the stratosphere 50 kilometers in the sky and the mesosphere a little bit higher than that. ozone layer is 30 miles into the
1:44 am
atmosphere. there's good ozone and bad ozone. let me explain. ozone is oxides, nitrogen, volatile organic compounds and there is atmospheric ozone that is good. that's the one that protects us from the ultraviolet rays from the sun. when we have ground level ozone coming from industrial plants, lawn mowers, for instance, our vehicles and our strucks that we drive on the roadways, that can get trapped. that's when we start to breathe in harmful ozone and that can be very detrimental to the human body as i explained a moment ago. so what scientists are starting to point out, the hole that they discovered in 1985 was starting to get larger, meaning that we were reducing our protective shield, our ozone layer. so they implemented the 1987 montreal protocol that reduced
1:45 am
chlorofloral carbons. it started to heal itself and then it gradually started to get worse. what we're finding now is it's finally starting to pay off the montreal protocol. nearly three decades. we're starting to see signs of increased area. it's helping to heal the crucial, crucial ozone layer in front of us. in the united states flood warnings from wichita into kansas city. heavy rain moving across the region. you know what, it is set to continue for the next several hours. we'll be monitoring that very closely. >> it's always good to get the weather from you, of course, but the science breaking it down. >> i think it's important that people understand it. >> the simple fact that the protocol that was put in place did make a difference.
1:46 am
derek, thank you. let's talk euro 2016. germany is headed to the semi-finals after an epic win on saturday. for the first time germany beat italy in a major quarterfinals match-up. the teams ended regular time 1-1 but in true fashion germany pulled it off with a 6-5 win on penalties. that victory led to this massive celebration that you see there in berlin. germany's next match is july 7th against iceland or france. cnn's amanda davies has more from paris. >> reporter: another major tournament. another germ march victory on penalties but, boy, it was tight. 18 penalties it took to see them go through to the euro 2016 semifinal at the expense of italy after it finished. 1-1 after 90 minutes and extra
1:47 am
time. cnn euro analyst aaron is with us. we knew it would be a tight match. it didn't disappoint. >> we did. we expected a close game. two of the best defenses in the tournament so far. there wasn't a ton of plans from open play. i think germany shaded it in terms of possession. italy was very, very dangerous on their counter attacks. once it goes into penalties, it's a lottery and anything can happen. germany is fortunate to have one of the best goaltenders in the world. for italy missing two penalties hurt them. germany did just enough to get into a semifinal. this is what we expect from the germans, always finding a way to get into the semi-finals. >> absolutely. it's the sixth major tournament
1:48 am
semifinal in a row for the germans. they're looking to wrap it up in the world cup. the big question now is who will they be facing for a place in the decider? will it be host france or the surprise package iceland? that is what we will discover on sunday. i'm amanda davis here in paris. it's back to you. >> amanda, thank you. in argentina, hundreds of fans turned out to call on football icon lionel messi to unretire from the national team. they rallied under pouring rain. lionel messi announced he would no longer play for argentina after the team lost the copa america final in penalty kicks. he missed the opening kick but some fans say they've been lucky just to see him play.
1:49 am
>> translator: there's a saying that says there will be a messi every 500 years. we will enjoy him. we must be grateful we are living in this time. to all those who criticize him, i say, look at the problems in your own life because you can't criticize a person like that. >> lionel messi plays club football in spain with barcelona. a patriotic moment is causing a bit of buzz online. ♪ o say can you see >> this mom can now add internet sensation. a voice that will give you goose bumps. ♪ what so proudly we hail at the twilight's last gleaming ♪ i had no idea. it's opened up a whole new world for me. ♪

the line from the government is that the groups do not operate within bangladesh. they're asking the government to recognize that they need to do more to stop it from happening. this is what so many people have feared would happen, transpire. what we've been hearing from them as we've been talking to them in dhaka in the past couple of weeks or months, it's an incredibly somber mood. the cafe is a very popular space. popular with diplomats. it's a light light area of dhaka. incredibly somber. there's frustration that more has not been done. it has sent chills through the community here. people are already fearful of the mounting violence.
2:05 am
>> alexandra, you've done extensive reporting in bangladesh on many of these hacking attacks, hacking deaths that have happened and, again, now this terrible attack that happened at a cafe. alexandra field by phone with us. thank you. we'll stay in touch with you. the majority of the victims of this attack are from italy. cnn contributor barbie is joining us. they're making clear that this is a nation in mourning but at the same time quite resilient in the face of terrorism. >> reporter: that's right. the vice president ramsey said they vowed resool of in the fight against terrorism. the mood is very, very grim, especially the details about how these people died, hacked to death and then details against that about their lives. there was a 33-year-old pregnant woman, 6 months pregnant. she would have been visibly pregnant, ready to come home to
2:06 am
have her baby, spend the summer in italy and have her baby. she was living in bangladesh. there was a 37-year-old man who had 3-year-old twins who just celebrated their birthday. he's dead now. all of those stories make the situation more tragic. we expect pope francis to address this today. everyone here is coming together as a nation to mourn the loss of these people, ordinary people whose lives were cut short by the senseless act of terrorism, george. >> barbie nadeau live. thank you for your reportings. let's bring in nadiya. she is director of the dhaka art summit and lives in the neighborhood where the cafe is located. also, knew two victims who studied here at emory university. first of all, tell us what you have heard from these families. i know that you spent some time talking to the families of these
2:07 am
victims. what are they saying about what happened here? >> reporter: hello? >> nadiya, yes, you're on the line live on cnn. this is george howell. i want to ask you, what are you hearing from the families? >> reporter: everybody is in shock. everybody is traumatized, heart broken. i mean, we just can't believe that something like this can happen in our country. i mean, we're all completely sheltered. >> what is the mood of people there? how are people dealing with this terrible event? >> reporter: the mood, i mean, the whole town, i feel, is depressed. it feels dead. all people are talking about and thinking about and are praying
2:08 am
are for these victims and what has happened. now it's ramadan in bangladesh. in three days is their festival. this is the time in bangladesh when it's the most festive time and everybody is out shopping with their families, going to restaurants and it's just become everybody is numb and in shock basically. >> nadiya, i wanted to ask you just to get a sense of that neighborhood, that area. you're familiar with this particular cafe, this bakery. just talk to us about this area because it's very popular for foreigners, correct? >> reporter: correct. so i live near -- around that area. the holy bakery was a place to go. i'm a regular visitor there.
2:09 am
i regularly go there with my children, we meet up with friends, everybody is there. this bakery, it wasn't in a commercial spot and it was quite inside one of the roads and it wasn't really advertised to the public. people just knew by word of mouth. it's not a place where you can drive by and spot the bakery and go in. but it was more like a word of mouth. >> nadiya, i'm curious. i know that you are familiar with -- are you familiar with the fact that there have been so many hacking attacks, these deaths that have happened quite frankly over the past year. given that, is there a sense now that people are more concerned
2:10 am
about events like this? growing concern given the targeted attacks that have been happening? >> reporter: i mean, i -- >> we're having some trouble hearing nadiya. again, she lives in that area near the bakery and was giving us her insight on that neighborhood and also knowledge of two of the victim's families. the people who lost their lives in a terrible attack in dhaka. two car bombings in the iraqi capitol that killed at least 80 people. the blasts happened on saturday in central and southeastern baghdad. more than 130 people wounded there. the attacks were mostly shiite neighborhoods. our senior international correspondent ben wedeman is live in cairo, egypt. ben, let's talk about this. we have seen fallujah, troops
2:11 am
retaking key parts in iraq. but the question now, are we seeing isis start to wrap up attacks in other places to try to spread fear? >> reporter: that certainly seems to be the case. they've lost a lot of territory. at their height they controlled almost 40% of iraq. now they're down to less than 15%. clearly they're changing tactics. they can't hold a territory and the u.s. coalition and kurdish forces are all masked and fighting against them. the bombings overnight in baghdad were particularly horrific. one of them killed at least 79 people. it happened around midnight. keep in mind it's the holy month of ramadan. at midnight the heat has abated.
2:12 am
there were hundreds and hundreds of people in the middle of the street including families with children. it's believed the bomb was a truck bomb. the blast caused much death and destruction. it caused fire that burned throughout the night. emergency teams fought the fires throughout the night. others were trying to find more bodies and victims in the wreckage. now this morning the iraqi prime minister came to the scene to inspect the damage, but people are so angry that this sort of -- these sort of bombings continue that they drove them out of the neighborhood throwing rocks at his entourage. it's important to keep in mind that at least 500 iraqis have been killed in car bombings, suicide bombings and according to figures kept by the united
2:13 am
nations, in june alone 662 iraqis were killed in terrorist attacks and other violence. george? >> ben, given the frustration of many that we've seen that have protested the government there, do attacks like this from isis, are they effective? >> well, they're effective in just keeping the capitol on edge and, therefore, certainly even as i said the iraqi government has been fairly successful at regaining territory from isis, isis is clearly changing tactics. it wants to move away from its territorial fetish, so to speak t would become a terrorist organization wagging urban termination in the population. whenever this happens people are
2:14 am
understandably angry that in their neighborhoods as they go about their daily business they aren't safe and they can fall so often victim to boomings like these. to ordinary iraqis they wonder why can't the government stop them? >> george, a little frustration just the other day. no one plays off a coughing attack better than you a moment ago. we'll stay in touch with you. the people fight for their lives in turkish hospitals. the country's president is vowing vengeance after last week's airport attacks. we'll have that story. plus, the fbi sits down with hillary clinton about her private e-mail server. why she says she was happy to answer their questions. stay with us. so i asked about adding once-daily namenda xr to her current treatment for moderate to severe alzheimer's. it works differently.
2:15 am
when added to another alzheimer's treatment, it may improve overall function and cognition. and may slow the worsening of symptoms for a while. (announcer) namenda xr doesn't change how the disease progresses. it shouldn't be taken by anyone allergic to memantine, or who's had a bad reaction to namenda xr or its ingredients. before starting treatment, tell their doctor if they have, or ever had a seizure disorder, difficulty passing urine, liver, kidney, or bladder problems, and about medications they're taking. certain medications, changes in diet, or medical conditions may affect the amount of namenda xr in the body and may increase side effects. the most common side effects are headache, diarrhea, and dizziness. all my life, he's protected me. ask their doctor about once-daily namenda xr and learn about a free trial offer at namenedaxr.com.

2:18 am
live in istanbul following the story. ivan, good day to you. what more do we know about the investigation? >> reporter: well, the turkish authorities have been remarkably tight-lipped. we haven't really gotten any updates, any details on the bombers in some 48 hours now. aside from knowing that there were three of them, their identities appear to be a russian citizen, citizens of uzbekistan and kiergistan and we have u.s. officials saying the master mind was a notorious russian militant from the caucuses region. we know roughly where the three u.s. officers rented a property in an apartment very few in istanbul. they're trying to keep that information close to their cards
2:19 am
as they continue to -- they've detained about two dozen people thus far in several turkish cities or they're simply trying to control the message right now which is also very much possible. in the meantime, on saturday the atrocity in the airport claimed a 44-year-old victim. a 3-year-old jordanian victim and there are dozens others fighting for their lives in hospital here. >> ivan, we heard from president erdogan to bring in thousands of refugees as citizens. >> reporter: that's right. more than 2 million syrian refugees are living here in turkey. many of them for years and years
2:20 am
and years. many of them in refugee camps that the turnings have set up where they've provided quite good assistance according to human rights organizations. also living out in turkish towns and this statement by president erdogan quite incredible saying he is taking a look at providing citizenship to the syrians trying to normalize their existence here in turkish society. some political analysts point out that this would buy mr. erdogan hundreds, if not 1 million votes if he was to extend citizenship to grateful refugees. certainly a much greater step towards welcoming this community than almost any other country in the world.
2:21 am
>> ivan watson live for us in istanb istanbul. ivan, thank you for your reporting there. america's choice 2016, and in the united states hillary clinton met with the fbi for several hours on saturday to talk about the investigation that is casting a shadow over the presumptive democratic nominee's campaign. sources tell us the whole thing could be wrapped up soon. chris frates has the details. >> reporter: hillary clinton came to fbi headquarters behind me on saturday to sit for a 3 1/2 hour interview with federal officials who are investigating the use of her private e-mail server. the clinton campaign putting out a statement that read, quote, secretary clinton gave a voluntary meeting this morning about her usage while she was the second. she has the permission to bring this to a conclusion. she will not comment further on her interview. that was from spokesman nick
2:22 am

2:24 am
the department of justice handling this process. >> lynch went on to say that her meeting with bill clinton does not have a bearing on how the e-mail investigation will be reviewed and then resolved. in australia federal elections remain too close to call. final elections are not expected until tuesday. the prime minister leads a caretaker government for now but says he is not worried. listen. >> tonight, my friends, i can report that based on the advice i have from the party officials, we can have every confidence that we will form a coalition majority government in the next parliament. it is -- it is a very close count. it is a very close count as you

lieberman. we are hearing reaction from around the world, from u.s. president barack obama and benjamin netanyahu. >> reporter: president obama had one of the most powerful messages coming in. this is not just an israeli story or jewish story. he wrote more than 50 books, many in french or english. the best well known is "night." chronicling his time in auschwitz. it was followed by "dawn" and "day." it was these messages that we've seen resonating. president barack obama calls elie wiesel our consciousness of
2:32 am
the world. he says he was one of those people who changed the world, more as a citizen of the world than his power. his life urges us to be better. we must summit our capacity for good. in the face of cruelty we must live with empathy and compassion. we must never be bystanders to injusti injustice. just imagine the peace and justice in our world if we all lived a little more like elie wiesel. he was a holocaust survivor and educator. more than that, he was a human rights advocate who spoke not only for his people but for those who are oppressed and the world. he spoke honestly, plainly, courteously. at the end he would say he would resonate with them. >> i'm curious to understand his legacy how he is remembered in
2:33 am
israel. >> reporter: well, here we've already seen messages from the president from former president shimon and in the darkness of the holocaust in which our brothers and sisters, 6 million were murdered, elie wiesel was a ray of light. let me go back to 1986 when he won the nobel peace prize. it's a message they took to heart as well. they say he was one of the most important spiritual leaders and aides when resuppression was a message of human kind. his commitment which originated in the sufferings of jewish people has been widened to

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm george howell. heavy rains are causing major problems in northern india killing 28 people so far. take a look at this here. flash flooding triggered a landslide. homes are filled with water after rain pounded that region for the past two days. rescue operations here. a bit of news to tell you about the ozone layer. it is showing encouraging signs that it is beginning to heal. our meteorologist derek van dam
2:41 am
is here to explain the science of the good news, derek. >> spot on, george. a protective shield around the earth. without it we would have a higher risk of skin cancers and less crop yields and also can disrupt the ocean's food chains. it's critical we see the ozone replenish itself all thanks going back to three decades ago the montreal protocol. i'll explain what the ozone layer is. there is good ozone, bad ozone. where do we find this so-called ozone in the atmosphere. we have to look at 30 miles, roughly 50 kill lot meters. remember the troposphere, just above that is where we will find the protective shield of gas. ozone is a combination of oxides
2:42 am
of nitrogen and volatile organic compounds. the good ozone is a protective shield into the atmosphere. it protects the ultraviolet rays from the sun. it protects us from getting things like skin cancer, malignant mel la home in ma, those types of things. then there is bad ozone created by ground level facilities, lawn equipment, cars and trucks that we drive on our roads, breathe that in, that can be very harmful and detrimental to humans. we go back three decades, 1987 roughly i should say. that's when we invented the montreal protocol. we tried to put a ban on them. that was very successful. there was originally an yup tick in the ozone meaning that
2:43 am
replenished itself in 1988 roughly. you can see the ozone hole that started to grow. there's the yup tick in 1988. then the montreal protocol was established. then it gradually continued to go downhill from there. scientists became worried. the montreal protocol finally started to show some successful signs. we are confident it is replenishing itself. let's talk about the flash flood alerts we have across the u.s., wichita and kansas city. we want to monitor the area closely for the potential of flooding through your sunday. remember, this is a public holiday weekend be. people are trying to enjoy themselves outside but they are definitely going to need a raincoat and umbrella. >> rain in atlanta, too. >> i've seen fireworks during a rainy nashville last year. it was fantastic. >> it's better when it's sunny. i wanted to ask you, derek, when
2:44 am
you talk about the 1987 montreal protocol, this is an event that actually had -- made a difference. >> it did. without it we would have serious problems with ozone depletion and it wouldn't be able to give us protection from the sun and violent rays. >> then we'll see what happens now with the paris agreement. many nations signing on to that. very important when it comes to reducing carbon emissions, putting pen to paper. a group of siblings traveled thousands of miles to see each other and some are meeting for the very first time. they're also getting to know the person that made it all possible. their sperm donor father. suzanne fam has more on this growing family reunion. >> oh, that was a good idea. >> reporter: they came from all over the country. >> let's go get coffee. >> reporter: they just barely met but they get along better than best friends.
