12:00 am
town hall, black, white and blue 2016. it is a conversation between people on both sides of the conflict, tomorrow night at 10:00 eastern. that's it for us tonight. our live coverage tonight continues with rosemary church from the cnn center in atlanta. moving on. david cameron set to give way to theresa may at 10 downing street in the coming hours. we'll look at some of her top priorities. a plea for unity. barack obama urges americans to reject despair at a memorial for the dallas police officers killed in an ambush. and he's with her. bernie sanders endorses hillary clinton for president. welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church. this is cnn newsroom.
12:01 am
this is david cameron's last day as british prime minister. in a few hours, he heads to parliament, where will hold his final question time. last month, mr. cameron announced his resignation after the u.k. voted to leave the european union. his successor is home secretary theresa may. she will be the country's second female prime minister. the first was margaret thatcher 26 years ago. the incoming prime minister has a lon to-do list. cnn contributor, robin oakley, joins us from outside barrelment. good to see you. how are the next few hours likely to play out as we say david cameron bow out and theresa may take her post as prime minister. >> cameron will be coming to the house of ministers for his final
12:02 am
question time. that could be a cheery, jocular occasion. it often is when people leave office. but there may be a heavy political message for n this one, too. he may not be able to resist the opportunity for one last dig at his labor opponent, jeremy corbin, who is facing desperate problems and a leadership challenge in his party. after the prime minister's question session, david cameron will go to buckingham palace, tender his resignation. for a few minutes, britain will be, technically, without a prime minister. and terreheresa may will follow to the palace, get her appointment from the queen and start announcing the members of her cabinet team. and the only thing we know that will be staying on from david camera's team is larry the cat, the chief mouser. everybody else, all their jobs are up for grabs. there's a lot of nervousness, as she puts the final touches to her team, rosemary.
12:03 am
>> a big day for her. she has a long list of challengers to deal with. once she becomes prime minister, she has to pick a new cabinet and move forward on brexit. what are her top priorities here? >> reporter: one of the first things she has to do, a daunting task, some prime ministers have found it chilling in the past. she has to sit down and write out in her own hand, the instructions to the commanders of britain's four nuclear submarines as to what to do in the event of downing street and the government being wiped out in an attack. so, that is the first task. and coincidentally, there's a vote in the house of commons on monday on renewing the missile system. an expensive decision for any government to take. but one that theresa may firmly backs. as you say, the key thing is moving forward with the brexit negotiations to make britain out of the european union.
12:04 am
she has promised to set up a ministry to do that. the key thing now is who she puts in the various jobs. one thing she makes a priority of apparently is getting more women into top jobs in the cabinet. the problem she faces in putting her team together is that british politics is still driven by the debate on the european union. theresa may voted to remain in the european union. she is expected the put in as chancellor in place of george osbourne, phillip hammond, who voted to remain in the european union. if she puts in as foreign secretary, for example, another remainer, then the brexiteers, the people who campaigned and voted to get britain out of the european union, are going to be suspicion of her motives. and everything that she does from now on will be looked at through that e.u. in or out spectrum, rosemary. that's the problem. >> she has a few problems ahead for sure. on the other side of politics,
12:05 am
jeremy corbin won the right to be on the labor party leadership ballot. >> last night, jeremy corbyn won the agreement of the executive that he doesn't have to have 50 m.p.s backing him, to resist the leadership challenge of angela eagle. jeremy corbyn is confident that when the vote goes out to the country, he will have the support of many of the activists that will have the key say in this. he got 60% of them last september. one thing that may work in his favor, we heard that owen smith is going to pitch his hat into the labor leadership contest, a not well done political figure. if he and ankara eagle are on one side of the argument and
12:06 am
jeremy corbyn is on the other side, that may split jeremy corbyn and fwif give him a getter chance. labor could split in the future, rosemary. >> the start of a very big day in london. just after 8:00 in the morning. robin oakley, thanks for joining us out front of parliament. appreciate it. there are a lot of questions, fwregrief and anger r two trains crashed head-on in southeastern italy. more than two dozen people have been killed. dozens are injured. one survivor called the aftermath hellish. many of the passengers are badly injured. helicopters flew into the remote site to carry them to hospital. italy's prime minister rushed to the scene. and he is demanding to know who is responsible. >> before being a politician, we are a father, a mother, and i think we have to sure the responsibility.
12:07 am
my thought s go to the families of those. the victims. we are together now. wee are not going to leave you now. we are together in this pain and despair. >> sadly, investigators expect the death toll to rise as they identify more victims. u.s. president barack obama honored america's police in a powerful tribute to the five dallas officers killed in thursday thursday's ambush. he addressed the grieve vances of the african-american community. and urged the americans the turn their anger into justice and peace. suzanne malveaux reports. >> if we're to sustain the unity we need to get through these difficult times -- >> reporter: president obama in dallas today, sending a powerful, personal message. >> i'm here to insist that we are not as divided as we seem. i know that because i know
12:08 am
america. i know how far we've come against impossible odds. >> reporter: carefully writing his own words of support and solidarity, for a nation in mourning. >> when all this takes place, more than 50 years after the passage of the civil rights act, we cannot simply turn away and dismiss those in peaceful protest as troublemakers. >> reporter: the stage was set by deadly shootings that have claimed lives both black and blue. >> we ask the police to do too much and we ask too little of ourselves. >> reporter: perhaps more end e enduring than the words are the images. a lasting tribute for the five police officers killed in thursday's sniper attack. >> an act not just of violence but of racial hatred. all of it's left us wounded, and angry. and hurt.
12:09 am
>> reporter: former republican president george w. bush, joining husband successor in a rare show of unity. >> those of us who love dallas and call it home have had five deaths in the family. >> reporter: each expressing their condolences. >> your loss is unfair. we cannot explain it. we can stand beside you and share your grief. >> reporter: en route to texas, the president also called the families of the two african-american men killed last week. >> he was very pleasant. he spoke of his concerns and sent his condolences, as well as michelle. ♪ >> reporter: the trip to dallas marks a return for president obama, for another city heartbroken. his 11th city involved in a mass shooting since taking office.
12:10 am
>> i've seen too many families go through this. but then, i am reminded of what the lord tells ezekiel -- i will give you a new heart, the lord says. and put a new spirit in you. >> reporter: on wednesday, the white house will be hosting what they are calling a conversation, on community policing and criminal justice, with activist, law enforcement, and civil rights leaders, to try to come up with some solutions. suzanne malveaux, cnn, dallas. authorities in louisiana say they have arrested three people allegedly tied to a plot to kill police officers in the state capital, baton rouge. these two men and an unnamed teenager are in custody. police detained one of the men during the burglary of a pawnshop where eight guns were stolen. the other man was arrested at his home. authorities say this threat was why they responded aggressively to protesters over the weekend.
12:11 am
>> look what happened in dallas. a very peaceful protest. and then, some crazy madman did what he did. so, i think the threat speaks for itself. we can't take anything for granted anymore. we cannot take anything for granted anymore. >> the protests in dallas and other u.s. cities were a response to the police shooting deaths of two black men, alton sterling and steele last week. hillary clinton has the endorsement she has been waiting for. what bernie sanders says he will do to help her win the presidency. plus, it appears donald trump has narrowed down his vice presidential options. who is still on his list. back in a moment. and my results ended up beinge african, european and asian. it was great because it confirmed what i

inclinton's corner, it's not clear if his die-hard supporters will follow. cnn's jeff zeleny reports. >> reporter: he finally said it. he's with her. >> hillary clinton will make an outstanding president. and i am proud to stand with her today. >> reporter: bernie sanders jumped on the hillary clinton bandwagon today. showering her with praise and even a hug. 35 days after she clinched the democratic domination. it was an awkward dance after a long fight. yet, standing side-by-side, said volumes about what party is more unified. >> how much more enjoyable this election is going to be now that we are on the same side. we are stronger together. >> reporter: today's rally in new hampshire had the feel of an arranged marriage. in many ways, it was, with more

than a few holdouts in the crowd. but clinton applauded sanders as he spoke. >> this campaign is about moving the united states towards universal health care. >> reporter: and sanders returned the favor. >> we're not cutting the minimum wage. we're raising the minimum wage. >> reporter: they're united behind the goal of defeating donald trump. >> hillary clinton understands that our diversity is one of our greatest strengths. >> reporter: his message was more anti-trump than pro-clinton. yet, clinton beamed today, mindful of how it felt to be on the other side of the peacemaking effort. >> to the next president of the united states, barack obama. >> reporter: eight years after that race, the clinton has opened divisions. several sanders supporters told us they won't be following his lead. he says he will vote for hillary clinton. are you?
12:18 am
>> no. >> reporter: under any circumstance? >> no. >> reporter: sanders made clear he would bring his supporters along. >> i intend on being in every corner of this country to make sure that happens. >> reporter: trump pledged to go after the dissenters. >> to all of the bernie voters who want to stop bad trade deals and global special interests, we welcome you with open arms. but clinton dismissed trump and welcomed sanders into her fold. >> i'm proud to be fighting alongside you because this is a time for all of us to stand together. >> reporter: sanders says he will stand with clinton. the question -- will his supporters follow? several supporters here in new hampshire said they're not sure. they don't necessarily trust hillary clinton. they're going to wait and see how this campaign unfolds. sanders will campaign across the country, starting here in new hampshire, where he won by 22 points in february, and in key states across the country, like michigan and ohio, where he
12:19 am
finished strong. jeff zeleny, cnn, new hampshire. we're hearing donald trump will likely name his vice presidential running mate on friday. a source says the front runners are indiana governor mike pence and former house speaker newt gingrich. a source says governor chris christie is also still in the mix. trump campaigned with pence on tuesday night. pence has a strong conservative record as an indiana governor and former house representative. and he wasted no time going after hillary clinton. >> we must come together an elect this good man as our next president. we must elect this strong leader for one more reason because hillary clinton must never become president of the united states of america. >> the current u.s. house speaker, paul ryan, says he knows he has differences with
12:20 am
donald trump. but he would rather have trump as president than hillary clinton. ryan appeared on a cnn town hall tuesday and talked about what he wants to see in trump's vice presidential pick. >> i would like someone to assure conservatives that conservative principles will be adhered to and maintained throughout, not just the campaign but throughout his presidency. i think making sure that you have someone that is familiar with and has a proven record of being a conservative reformer, who understands conservative founding principles and has experience in applying those principles, that makes the most difference. >> joining us from our d.c. bureau to talk more about the race for the white house is "the guardian's" politics reporter, sabrina siddiqui. thanks for being with us. >> thanks for having me. >> it appears to have come down to two men.
12:21 am
newt gingrich or indiana governor, mike pence. we should know this by friday. but who is the more likely choice for trump, given he has said that he wants an attack dog. >> certainly, newt gingrich fits the profile more so of being an attack dog than mike pence. at the same time, mike pence is a very popular governor among conservatives. so, it depends on whether donald trump is looking for ways to rally the republican party behind his candidacy. it's important to note that most american voters don't actually go to the polls casting a ballot for the v.p., but trump has given a scenario where there's many republicans on the sidelines who haven't endorsed him because they believe he hasn't shown to be commander in chief material. someone like pence could help filling in the policy gaps. newt gingrich is an old hand in washington. he knows how the system works. but he really just reinforces many of trump's pre-existing
12:22 am
qualities. he doesn't bring a lot to the ticket. >> seems like no matter what, newt gingrich is going to have a role, isn't he? i wanted to talk about ruth bader ginsburg. she's under fire for attacking donald trump, calling him a faker with no consistency. and asked how he had gotten away with not turning over his tax returns. was she out of line? and what impact will her comments likely have on trump's campaign? >> i think the comments struck elected officials as peculiar. that's how paul ryan described them. and democrats in congress were willing to criticize justice ginsberg because it's not typical for a supreme court justice to comment on politics. you have to remember, this is, of course, a body that remains neutral. and certainly, with all of the criticism of all of the court in recent years, it's become increasingly political and
12:23 am
agenda-driven. this doesn't help with that perception. at the same time, it's not clear there will be long-term impact. someone like donald trump shows there's no rules in this election cycle. and because his candidacy is so undecember presented, it pulls from the political spectrum. it may only make its way to the battle to confirm a supreme court justice. there's that vacancy. we haven't seen that conversation go anywhere. it's not clear this would have too much bearing than to be raised by a few opponents in that process when we get to it. >> of course, on the other side of the political spectrum, it took longer than hillary clinton would have liked. but at last, bernie sanders endorsed her tuesday. he hasn't succeeded in bringing all of his supporters onboard. what's it going to take to do that? an what's next for him, do you think? >> polling shows that most of
12:24 am
bernie sanders supporters is supporting her. one in five supporters say they would opt for a third party candidate. hillary clinton had a tough time bringing voters under 30 around the corner. it depends on what role bernie sanders is going to play. is he going to go across campuses in america. is he going to try to galvanize younger voters, who don't support donald trump into hillary clinton's corn center it is up to him, the extent of he wants to hit the campaign for her. that's something that remains to be seen. but hillary clinton's campaign views as a major step towards the party unity, that we've seen since she clinched the nomination. >> we will be watching all of that, very closely. sabrina siddiqui, pleasure talking to you. a new video from isis shows
12:25 am
a british hostage they've held for nearly four years. in it, john cantly refers to mosul university in the background. cantly also shows a neighborhood destroyed by what he says was coalition bombing. the video is dated tuesday. but cnn can't confirm where and when it was shot. cantly made it clear in a previous video he was forced to share a message from isis. a dutch woman is safe in northern iraq after she and her two children escaped from isis. laura hansen says her husband told her they were going to turkey on vacation. and he tricked her into entering syria last september to help refugees. >> and then, we went to raqqah. and also put me in a house.

12:30 am
and a warm welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church. want to update you on the main stories we're watching this hour. outgoing british prime minister david cameron will hold his last question time in parliament in a few hours. on wednesday evening, theresa may will become the country's second female prime minister. mr. cameron is resigning after failing to convince voters in the u.k. to stay in the european union. chinese officials are fuming over a decision from the hague. on tuesday, a tribunal decided china does not have historic rights to most of the south china sea, which they claim. the philippines filed the complaint. china says they should consider this ruling a piece of scrap paper, something to be tossed aside, so the two countries can resume associations. doctors are calling for
12:31 am
emergency blood donations, after two trains collided head-on in southeastern italy. 27 people have been killed, more than 50 injured. it's not clear why the trains were on the track at the same time. the prime minister is promising to find out who is responsible. the united kingdom has seen a lot of changes in the past few weeks. and a lot of unchartered territory ahead. joining me from london is tom matae. thank you for speaking with us. david cameron departs in a few hours. and theresa may takes on the top post. taking on the challenges, not least of which is brexit, as well as the threat of scotland possibly breaking away from the u.k. how is she likely to deal with all of these problems? >> it's an enormous entry that she's inherited from david
12:32 am
camera. it wasn't supposed to be like this. david cameron was supposed to answer all of the questions and hand off to his successor. instead, theresa may has to clean up a mess. she has to pull britain out of the european union, which will take two to six years. she has to see off scottish independence, which could happen between now and 2019. and she has to get the economy back on track which had been going well until the brexit vote. she has the big entry of any prime minister in postwar history. >> it will be interesting waping her deal with the problems. what about the other issues like immigration, education and trying to unite her own party and the country? what's she likely to do on those issues? and will she feel the pressure to call an early election, despite insisting that won't happen until 2020?
12:33 am
there's a lot of expectations that she may have to do that. the expectations of her conse e conservative m.p.s are so great, that she may not be able to hold the party together with her package. she has a problem that european union will not allow access to its internal market without free movement of people. theresa may has made clear, that it said that the u.k. would not accept free movement. she has to somehow get access to the european market without -- while ditching free movements. that's an incredibly difficult task. at the same time, she has to raise education standards. and carry on the work that her predecessor, david cameron, started. and all the same time, there is
12:34 am
the deficit. the economy -- there's not much money around. >> she's dealing with her own problems on politics. jeremy corbyn, he did win the right to be on the ballot. how is he lukely to go up against angela eagle? and what impact is that likely to have on the government going forward, for theresa may? >> it's a huge boone in one sense. that the labor party is effectively ceasing to be an opposition. it's in complete disarray. it's unable to form its duties, holing the government to account because it's so split. in one sense, she has an easy ride over the next few years. and if the current trajectory of the labor party continues, most people think she has a good chance of winning an election when she calls it. on the other hand, the
12:35 am
conservative members of parliament may think, we don't have to be as united and disciplined as we would if facing a serious opposition. that may cause her more problems than if the labor party was a decent, functioning opposition. >> tell us how this is being digested by the brits as they watch this disarray on both sides of politics and they look at the challenges that face the new prime minister. >> they look at it quizzically. they wonder what would happen. they were told a vote for brexit, david cameron, would not resign. they voted only just over a year ago now and handed the conservatives their first majority in 23 years. which appeared to usher in a period of calm. a period of five years of simple torey rule, within 14, 15
12:36 am
months. that's all been blown in the air. we have a labor party in disagree. scottish nationalism on the rise and a new prime minister, the second female prime minister in british history. brits are looking at this, scratching their heads. how has this happened? and i think they're looking for, i think, a period of calm now and for theresa may to get a grip and start leading. >> certainly a very big day for brits. and of course, for the leadership there. thank you for joining us, tom mctague, for joining us from parliament there. as the if this wasn't enough for david cameron. his swift resignation was not expected, humming on the open mic he was wearing. take a listen. >> thank you very much.

the commitment of raising a child with microcephaly bonds these mothers into an extended family. rosie says she feels the isolation most in public. under the piercing stares of strangers. >> translator: people ask, oh, she was born with that disease. they keep looking, whispering, look. the girl with the little head. >> she is constantly arguing back that her baby isn't diseased. she is special. most have experienced that same stigma. their love for their little ones is unwavering. but they can only hope and pray that society evolves to accept their children, not reject them. arwa damon, cnn, brazil. >> some unconditional mothers love there. in venezuela, there's a
