say more. >> i'm hannah here in london. for viewers in the u.s., "new day" starts now and for international viewers -- ♪ good morning. you made it to saturday. take a nice deep breath. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. it's good to be with you this morning. >> we want to start to quick politics here. hillary clinton's new running mate. that's in a moment, actually. >> first, though, we want to update you on the shooting rampage in munich. you just saw part of that news conference. >> this is new video we want to show you here as people are laying flowers and candles near the shopping mall where nine people were killed yesterday. the mayor of munich has declared today a day of mourning. and right now german chance lar angela merkel is meeting with her security cabinet. they are discussing this attack. this is obviously the topic of their discussion.

right now munich police are holding a police conference though as you just saw. officials saw there was no indication the attacker was linked to isis. cnn's will ripley is live in munich. will, so now we know that he does not have, as far as they can tell, any connections to isis, but what else do we know? >> well, christi, victor, we know for sure, according to police, he did act alone. even though there were rumors flying yesterday up to three gunmen, it was an 18-year-old with possibly illegally obtained .9 millimeter handgun able to cause this, a scene that the next day is still closed off. an entire city of 1 1/2 million people on lockdown for seven hours. so many questions about why this teenager of german and iranian descent would look up documents to carry out a rampage, targeting children and foreigners. german police say the whole suspect of munich shooting took

his own life. the chief calls the chaos caused by the 18-year-old german-iranian his hardest day of 40 years of service. >> translator: is events of yesterday, of this night makes us sad and speechless. our thoughts are especially with the victims. >> reporter: intense exchange with who appears to be the shooter turned up on social media. the suspected attacker seems to have a disturbed mental state insulting turks and other foreigners. shots rang out friday at a popular shopping center. witnesses describe the gunman targeting children. >> killing the children. nothing but children were sitting to eat. >> reporter: another apparent target, foreigners. this witness says he actually aimed mainly or only at foreigners as i could see it because all the dead bodies that i've seen on the ground and the young man who passed away next to me, they were all foreigners. the response shs massive. special forces from ba vaifia,

rephone rsmentes from other states. authorities locked down the city searching for the gunman, urging people to stay inside and avoid public areas. restaurants and other businesses closed. public transit shut down. for president obama, a new attack, a familiar message. >> our hearts go out to those who may have been injured. it's still an active situation. and germany is one of our closest allies, so we are going to pledge all the support that they may need. >> reporter: this attack the latest in a series of recent tragedies in europe. last week 84 people died in nice, france, when a man ran a 20-ton truck through bastille day crowds. earlier this week a 17-year-old afghan refugee with an ax injured several people on a train in southern germany. isis claims responsibility for both attacks and is calling for more bloodshed. >> i want to thank will ripley for that. we will continue obviously to

monitor what the mayor is saying and we will bring you more as soon as we get it. in just a few hours hillary clinton will be speaking live in miami introducing her vice presidential candidate, tim kaine. she made the announcement on twitter saying this, i'm thrilled to announce my running mate tim kaine. a man who's devoted his life fight for others. some are calling kaine a safe choice for the clinton campaign saying their joint ticket provides a stable alternative to the unpredictable trump campaign. here's what we know about tim kaine. the virginia senator is one of only 20 people in american history to serve as mayor, governor, and senator. and he's co-sponsored the iran nuclear agreement review act. here's something else you might not know. he plays the harmonica.

a little bluesy there. he's actually pretty good at it. >> yeah. >> let's bring in cnn's senior washington correspondent jeff. in addition to his harmonica skill, jeff, what else do we know about him? >> i'm not sure if we will hear that harmonica here today in miami to be introduced the first time as running mate. almost certainly are going to hear spanish. he is a fluent spanish speaker. it's one of the reasons that miami was chosen for this announcement. at florida international university are some 60% of the student body is hispanic. it's a critical slice fof hillary clinton in a critical battleground state. last night tim kaine got the call from hillary clinton at 7:32 p.m. after that, she called a few others who were on the finalist list. she asked tim kaine to join her ticket. he said yes. he'll join her today. >> are we ready for hillary? >> reporter: hillary clinton and tim kaine, new partners on the

democratic ticket. >> do you want a you're fired president or you're hired president? >> reporter: it may be an antiestablishment career but clinton's running mate is an insider, u.s. senator from virginia and former chairman of the democratic national committee. >> and if i have anything to do with it, we'll win again. >> reporter: by selecting kaine, clinton is betting experience in government not sizzle is the best way to defeat donald trump. >> elections are just the beginning. the real work starts tomorrow. >> reporter: he's neither flashy nor show boat. a seemingly safe pick and steady hand. just what clinton told anderson cooper she's looking for in a vice president. >> i want to be sure that whoever i pick could be president immediately if something were to happen. that's the most important qualification. >> i'm tim kaine. >> reporter: who is timothy michael kaine? a decade ago as governor of virginia he introduced himself in the democratic response to president bush's state of the union address. >> i worked as a missionary when i was a young man. i learned to measure my life by

the difference i can make in someone else's life. >> reporter: it was that stint as a jesuit missionary in honduras that would shape him. he learned fluent spanish and still speaks it today which makes him a different kind of attack dog against trump. >> if you're a latino he's going to trash talk you. >> reporter: born in minnesota and raised in kansas. >> the best decision i ever made was moving to richmond to marry my wife ann 26 years ago. >> reporter: he built his political career in virginia, rising from city councilman and mayor of richmond to lieutenant governor and governor. he's 58. ten years younger than clinton. known well inside the party but not beyond. >> i'm not the one with the biggest profile. i'm not the one that's the best known. >> reporter: he signed on with clinton early. this time around. endorsing her in 2014, more than a year before she declared her candidacy. for an original barack obama supporter, it was a chance to make up for lost time. >> give it up or tim kaine.

>> reporter: his politics are more moderate than the liberal strain driving today's democratic party. he's catholic. outwardly moved by pope franc francis's visit last year. his views on abortion are for more conservative than most democrats. >> i'm personally opposed to abortion and the death penalty and i've lived my life that way. law is what it is. i'm going to carry out the law and protect women's legal rights to make their own reproductive decisions. >> reporter: he's spoken out against the administration for failing to seek congressional approval to fight the islamic state. >> war against isil is just, it's necessary, it's noble, but it's illegal. there's been no congressional authorization for this war. >> reporter: it's an open question whether kaine fits the fold of today's red hot politics. yet his selection could help soften clinton's partisan edges. >> when it comes to our leadership in the world, trash talk ain't enough. we need a bridge builder and we've got a bridge builder in hillary clinton.

>> reporter: so tim kaine is viewed as governing partner. should they win the white house in november. i talked to a top senior clinton adviser last night to say, what really led her to pick him in the end. they said simply a comfort level. she liked his experience but simply, they said, he is someone she would like to have around the west wing, someone she gets along with, trusts, and is loyal. so they appear today in miami on the stage together this afternoon and then of course that democratic convention begins in philadelphia next week. >> jeff, what more are we learning from the republicans, their reaction to this pick? >> of course, republicans are responding donald trump in particular is responding saying, look, this is a couple of insiders. this is a guy who has been in elected office most of his life. so pretty typical response. more interestingly though perhaps is the response from progressive and liberal groups. they believe that tim kaine simply is not liberal enough.

they think he's too moderate on many issues like wall street reform, some other things. so there will be definite discussions at that democratic convention next week. he's certainly not a bernie sanders liberal democrat. but that's probably why hillary clinton selected him. victor? >> jeff, thanks so much. don't miss the democratic national convention in philadelphia live coverage begins monday at 4:00 eastern right here on cnn. explosive new report could offer clues in the mystery of the crashed mh-370 night. yes, we're still talking about this because we're just learning of the possibility that this could have been a premeditated plot of mass murder and suicide. matt rivers is following that for us. >> that's the big question after a new york magazine report claims that the pilot of mh-370 flew a simulated flight just one

month before mh-370 disappeared. that simulated flights closely resembles the suspected flight path of mh-370 itself. i'll have those details coming up. another blow to this year's olympics. with the rio games now just less than two weeks away fears of terrorism and a doping scandal dominating the conversation. now authorities are scrambling to keep the games safe and drug free. we'll tell you how. ♪ hi daddy! gain the freedom to fumble with the new water and shatter-resistant samsung galaxy s7 active. buy one now and get the samsung gear s2 for free. exclusively at at&t.

according to those documents the pilot flew a similar route an a home simulator just a month before it went down. it's important to say that cnn has not independently confirmed the contents of the reported document. >> but you may remember that the plane disappeared in march of 2014 on that flight to beijing and although there's no official cause for the crash this could be the strongest evident yet that this was a premeditated act of suicide and mass murder. again, cnn has not corroborated this but matt rivers is with us from beijing. matt, what else can you tell us about this report and what's in it? >> well, new york magazine published this article claiming that it had obtained a previously unseen document generated during the malaysian police investigation into this disappearance. and this article claims cite that document that there were several hard drives connected to an in-home flight simulator belonging to the pilot of

mh-370. the hard drives were taken away from his house and turned over to the fbi. the fbi did their analysis and found there were several deleted data points. when put together those data points apparently showed that the pilot flew a simulated flight that closely matched the suspected route of mh-370 into the southern indian ocean. the flight path of the simulated flight and the suspected flight path of mh-370 line up quite well right next to each other and apparently this document also show, according to the article, that this simulated flight took place within one month prior to mh-370 disappearing. as you mentioned, cnn cannot corroborate the authenticity or the content of this document but it certainly brings up a lot of questions. and we're hearing from family members of people who were onboard. they're claiming they spoke to the -- we spoke to some of them this morning here in beijing, and they're claiming if this document is authentic, if it is real, why is there a lack of

transparency from the malaysian government here? why was this information not put out earlier? and why was the malaysian government really deflecting attention and blame away from the pilot himself in the first place? of course, all of this is ongoing as the search for the plane continues in the southern indian ocean. a major development in this search for mh-370, christi. >> matt rivers, we appreciate it, thank you. what does this report mean for the investigation? richard quest read through it and this is his take. >> it is everything and it is nothing. it is the clearest circumstantial evidence that he was involved in stealing his own plane or hijacking his own plane and flying it on a suicide mission. but it does not prove this in any shape or form. it is purely the sort of circumstantial evidence that has built up over time. and then with that in mind, and

what is very interesting is the malaysians is they've known about this and they didn't release it. they've never -- they didn't even put it in their first report one year after the event. >> so let's talk about that report. this is the factual report published last march, march of 2015, on the first anniversary of the plane's disappearance. dismissed accusations against the pilot. it says the captain's ability to handle stress at work and home was good. there were no significant changes in his life, his lifestyle, enter personal conflict of family stresses. so we'll continue to look into that. meanwhile, president obama has a lot to say about donald trump's vision for america. this of course coming as the democrats are gearing up to attack the gop at their own convention. hear president obama's scathing comments. those are coming up for you next. plus, a first-hand account of horror.

president obama is striking back at donald trump's vision of america telling cbs the rampage in munich that we saw yesterday does not validate mr. trump's dark world view and this trump's plan for a religious test for immigrants is a, quote, betrayal of american ideals. listen up here. >> mr. president, when donald trump spoke to his convention he

talked about security threats, he painted a very dark picture. now there's been a terrorist attack in germany. doesn't that suggest he's right about the darkness? >> no, it doesn't. terrorism is a real threat and nobody knows that better than me. one of the best ways of preventing it is making sure that we don't divide our own country, that we don't succumb to fear that we don't sacrifice our values. and that we send a very strong signal to the world and to every american citizen that we're in this together. >> explain how we would sacrifice our haves specifically by being divides? >> well, look, if we start engaging in the kinds of proposals that we've heard from mr. trump or some of his surrogates like mr. gingrich, where we start suggesting that we would apply religious tests to who could come in here, that

we are screening muslim-americans differently than we would others, then we are betray that very thing that makes america acceptional. >> the democrats getting their chance to present their vision for america and our first chance really to hear how hillary clinton and tim kaine's ticket will challenge mr. trump and mr. pence's. less talk about what we just heard. to discuss we're joined by cnn political commentator and donald trump supporter scottie hughes and washington dc democratic party and hillary clinton supporter a. scott border. scottie, you're in philadelphia where the democrats will convene in a couple of days. let me start with you. what do you think about what you just heard from the president there? >> well, i think it's awfully funny mr. president is saying this. i mean, considering what is going on in our country today. we've said over the past few weeks and every week is wreaked

by headlines and unfortunately headlines here at home. guess what, we are living in a divided country. it's interesting for the president to sit there and talk about what mr. trump's policies would do when look at what's going on in yourday" and welcom

viewers with us from around the world. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm christi paul. we're talking about a day of mourning declared in germany after the shooting spree that left nine people dead. police in germany there say they're going to have to investigate everything surrounding this lone gunman. right now they believe that he did -- didn't have any links to isis. little is known about him publicly though other than the fact that he was 18 years old and lived in munich for the last two years. >> the shooting began where the gunman opened fire outside a mcdonald's. here's how witnesses describe what unfolded next. >> people were running around screaming and people were scared. there were a lot of people, about 50 people running towards our house to seek shelter.

>> first there were people shouting very loud. a lot of people gathered. then i left the shop and looked to the right and saw a guy who slowly approached the crowd. and i looked in his direction, and then he shot at two people near the stairs, and i ran away. i then went on the other side of the street and saw one dead body and one injured body there. it was really a catastrophe. >> my son saw in the toilet the man loading the gun. it was a pistol. >> germany has always been very

safe, so i wasn't fearful. but this is like definitely a surprising and very, very sad and very surreal. >> a short time ago officials in munich had a news conference. they say that first there's no ongoing security threat. also, there appears there's no political motivation for this shooting. they're telling people that there's no reason to avoid holding or attending events across the city. hillary clinton has picked tim kaine to be her running mate and in just a few hours she will introduce him to voters in miami. kaine tweeted he is honored to be her running mate. a washington insider, kaine is a seasoned politician. he's been a mayor, a governor, he's also now the senator representing the state of virginia. and he's co-sponsored the iran nuclear agreement review act.

the virginia senator is one of only 20 people in american history to serve as those three positions. mayor, governor, and senator. and will, of course, profile him throughout the morning. we want to wish good morning to all of you waking up in philadelphia this morning. beautiful city there, isn't it? what what a sun advisory. the city is getting ready for the democratic national convention next week. the event featuring political a-lister, president obama, vice president joe biden, former president bill clinton, and other places where anti-trump gop leaders did not show up. let's talk, bernie sanders supporter and dnc committee member. on the heels of the news that's coming out this morning we're hear that sanders supporters are planning to protest at the dnc. first of all, do we know what exactlymanding and is

there anything that bernie sanders himself can say to the dnc to placate them? >> listen, this has been a very heated debate this cycle. it's been a very heated primary. i think there are a lot of sander supporters frustrated that bernie sanders, the senator went and endorse the secretary and it happened quite suddenly and they were expecting to go all of the way to the convention. there are quite a few concerns that sanders supporters have. i'm a delegate so i'm going to be voicing those concerns in whatever way possible inside the convention but there are a lot of organizations, whether they're union members or black lives matter or people from the climate change movement or people who are against tpp, a very heated topic because majority of democrats and majority of democratic congressmen are against tpp. but we voted on the platform committee not to strengthen our language around it. so expect a lot of peaceful, civil disobedience. it's just to send a message to the democratic party that we can do better, we can be better and we are now half of the party so we need to be heard as group.

not on are we half the party, we're majority of the future of the party. >> does that mean that you're going to vote for hillary clinton and tim kaine? >> i think she needs to reach out to sanders supporters and connect with us, both senator kaine and secretary clinton, have a lot of work to do to earn our votes. right now there has not been a lot of on the ground listening. there hasn't been a lot of surrogate reaching out. it's been a lot of symbolism. we have to move past the symbolic politics. senator kaine is an extraordinary, has an extraordinary record but it is not a progressive record paints moderate record. quite a corporate record. it is very much at odds with the future of the democratic party. the current state of the democratic party, 70% more progressive than it was ten years ago. one thing to keep in mind, senator kaine was the chair of the democratic party when we started to change the strategy. we went from a 50-state strategy to a party that raises more money than ever that has lost more seats than ever. so there's a lot of stuff that we have to do to strengthen as a party and i as a senders

supporter is invested in making this better. a lot of sanders supporter feel like they are not being heard, listened to or acknowledged. >> on that note, new information about wikileaks posting nearly 20,000 hacked dnc e-mails for democratic staffers are debating how to deal with challenging media requerss and looking at ways to undercut sanders during the primary. we want to point out cnn has not authenticated the e-mails, but sanders, we understand, he's going to be speaking. will these leaks, however, undercut or will they give credence, i guess, to his supporters, to you, that the dnc was biased toward clinton from the beginning? >> i mean, this is really bad timing for the democrats. this is a time when secretary clinton needs to mobilize the sanders base because the energy, the lack of energy is contagious. and even though he had 13 million votes and she only needs

say 10 million of those votes to win she still needs to make sure that that base is energized and ready to go to the polls. not voting for someone like a green party or libertarian in gary johnson and these e-mails reconfirmed a lot of the beliefs that sanders supporters and actually some believes -- >> how do you think that that -- that these -- the wikileaks e-mails are going to effect the people going to the dnc and whether they put their support behind hillary clinton and tim kaine or if they do go elsewhere? how much of a factor are the e-mails? >> i think it's a problem. i was up until 2:00 in the morning reading the e-mails and i was getting upset. you had the chair of the democratic party, debbie wasserman schultz, congressman shultz, calling the campaign manager, calling names, nasty comments about the campaign manager jeff weaver. also untrue comments because they've been validated. she was saying he was lying about the nevada caucus which has all been fact checked. so this is reconfirms the notion that democratic party was

supporting hillary clinton, you know, two years out. >> okay. so good to see you again. best of luck to you there and we'll be talking to you throughout. take good care. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> sounds good. the list of problems heading into the olympics is growing. terrorism, security fear, of course. this city, this country is facing a lot of challenges. rosa florez is following that story for us this morning. >> all new overnight, one more brazilian national now in jail. turning himself in after what authorities say was a plot, a terrorist plot that was being organized by 12 individuals. how that plot was foiled, next. ♪ ♪

called for its followers to target the rio games. brazil's intelligence agency is now reviewing all the threats against the games. and this comes after authorities arrested ten people suspected of planning terrorist attacks just a couple days ago. let's get right to our rosa florez with new details for us. rosa, tell us what we know about this plot and how it was foiled. >> well, victor, let me start with this. cnn just learningt an 11th suspect has turned himself in. because here's the background here. authorities had been looking at 12 brazilian nationals because of the chatter that they were creating online and through text messaging. they tell us that these 12 individuals vowed allegiance to isis and they really didn't know each other but they kept communicating. and this chatter caught brazilian authorities' attention.

now, brazilian authorities are calling them amateurs. and you'll see why. according to authorities, they say that these individuals were trying to prepare by taking martial arts classes. one of these individuals was trying to purchase a weapon online. now, as you know, you try to purchase a weapon online from paraguay and that's going to leave an electronic footprint. a very clear electronic footprint for authorities. so what happened here is brazilian authorities moved in after that chatter increased about these individuals actually plotting and planning a terror attack. now, they didn't have a set target but, of course, brazilian authorities seeing this as a success because they tell us that they are gathering intelligence, sharing that intelligence with other countries, with foreign countries, and acting on that intelligence and that's what we're seeing here. >> major concern just fewer than

some portions in the northeast and we also have portions in the southwest. you can make the argument the heat dome really covers pretty much the entire united states from east to west coast. we have over 110 million people under some type of heat watch, warning, or advisory and that includes 26 states. here you can see that high pressure that is kind of sitting right over the central region of the country but how does that work exactly? let's take a closer look. here you can kind of see the dome of high pressure that's sitting right next to me. what that does is when you have a dome of high pressure, you have all that heat that the sun brings down to the surface. heats up the ground, heat rises, it naturally goes up. but thanks to the high pressure system, it acts like a bowl. it covers all of it and prevents the heat from going back up. essentially shooting it right back down. making in a lot of cases the temperature much warmer than it would be normally. and again, the other issue is that these areas have been dealing with the heat for a very long time. and notice even as we go into the weekend, it's going to stay

that way. so again, christi, the threat for the northeast, the mid atlantic, the southeast, and the midwest will remain for the next several days. >> allison chinchar, thank you so much. next hour of "new day" is coming up after a break. she spent summer binge-watching. soon, she'll be binge-studying. get back to great. now get a swiss gear backpack for only $10. office depot officemax. gear up for school. gear up for great.

running mate. >> i want to be sure that whoever i pick could be president immediately. >> do you want a you're fired president or a you're hired president? >> hillary clinton's legacy does not have to be america's legacy. >> donald told us, i am your voice. i don't think he speaks for most americans, do you? >> good morning. so good to have your companys a always. i'm christi paul. >> i'm skrivictor blackwell. >> news coming out of afghanistan this morning. it's unfolding as we speak here. an explosion has apparently ripped through an area of kabul where hundreds of people were gathered for a peaceful demonstration. we do not know what they were demonstrating but this is a situation that is still very much developing this hour. our source on the ground there gathering some details.

as soon as we get more we will bring them to you. again, an explosion in an area where hundreds of people were gathered. police in germany say the gunman behind the shooting rampage that left nine people dead in munich was the lone attacker and there is no indication of a link to isis p. >> this morning police are investigating whether that gunman posted a fake ad on facebook possibly in an effort to lure victims. [ gunfire ] such disturbing video, isn't it? this amateur video show that man dressed in black appearing to be holding a gun. not clear if it is indeed the shooter in question but the gunman opened fire at a mcdonald's prior to crossing the street to the city's biggest shopping mall. cnn's will ripley is live for news munich. will, what else are you learning

this hour? >> a lot of new information coming out of that press conference which wrapped up within the last hour. there is that facebook ad that police are looking into. a fake ad saying that particular mcdonald's was offering discounts that may have lured more young people to the scene. of course we know that many of the people who were killed were teenagers. also information about possible bullying, going back to 2012 when the attacker would have been 13 or 14. apparently beaten up by a group of other young people, stolen from a year earlier, and was researching shooting rampages and why students kill. all of this, police say, adds up to a picture of premeditated attack, perhaps targeting other young people. german police now say the seoul suspect in the munich shooting took his own life. the chief calls the chaos caused by the 18-year-old german-iranian his hardest day in 40 years of service. >> translator: the events of yesterday, of this night makes

us sad and speechless. our thoughts are especially with the victims. >> reporter: an intense exchange with who appears to be the shooter turned up on social media. the suspected attacker seems to have a disturbed mental state, insulting turks and other foreigners. shots rang out friday at a possible shopping center. witnesses describe the gunman targeting children. >> killing the children. children were sitting to eat. >> reporter: another apparent target, foreigners. tra this witness says he aimed mainly at foreigners because all the dead bodies i've seen on the ground and the young man who passed away next to me, they were all foreigners. the response massive. special forces from bavaria, re-enforcements from other german states. authorities locked down the city searching for the gunman, urging people to stay inside and avoid public areas. restaurants and other businesses

closed. public transit, shut down. for president obama, a new attack, a familiar message. >> our hearts go out to those who may have been injured. it's still an active situation. and germany is one of our closest allies, so we are going to pledge all the support that they may need. >> reporter: this attack, the latest in a series of recent tragedies in europe. last week 84 people died in nice, france, when a man ran a 20-ton truck through bastille day crowds. earlier this week a 17-year-old afghan refugee with an ax injured several people on a train in southern germany. isis claims responsibility for both attacks and is calling for more bloodshed. police here do not believe that isis or any other terror group is responsible for this incident which they call a lone wolf attack. but it ended up with nine people dead, plus the gunman. another 27 injured. and it happened on the fifth anniversary of a terror attack in norway where 77 people died,

most of those victims, children. victor, christi. >> right, we know munich investigators saying there are certain connections it seems to that attack back in 2011. will, thank you so much. we appreciate it. just two days now until the democratic national convention but first coming up in just a few hours hillary clinton will appear with her new running mate tim kaine at a rally in miami. now, she made the big announcement of kaine as her running mate on twitter saying this, i'm thrilled to announce my running mate tim kaine, a man who has devoted his life to fighting for others. here's what we know about him. he's the senator representing virginia, one of them, one of only 20 people in american history to have served as a mayor, governor, and senator. and he also co-sponsored the iran-nuclear agreement review act. here's something maybe you don't know. ♪

he's pretty good at the harmonica. i want to hear more of that. let's bring in cnn senior washington correspondent. jeff, tell us what else have we learned about him? what do we know about tim kaine? >> good morning, victor. tim kaine has done it all in politics. insider in this antiestablishment political year. he's been a city councilman, a mayor of richmond, lieutenant governor, governor and fine alla u.s. senator. he developed a chemistry and rapport with hillary clinton. she narrowed down her list of 30 people to tim kaine me found out last night at 7:32 p.m. in a phone call from her. >> are reready for hillary? hillary clinton and tim kaine, new partners on the democratic ticket. >> do you want a you're fired

president or a you're hired president? >> reporter: it may be an antiestablishment year but clinton's running mate is an insider. u.s. senator from virginia and a former chairman of the democratic national committee. >> and if i have anything to do with it, we'll win again. >> reporter: by selecting kaine, clinton is betting experience in government, not sizzle, is the best way to defeat donald trump. >> elections are just the beginning. the real work starts tomorrow. >> reporter: he's neither flashy nor show boat. a seemingly safe pick and steady hand. just what clinton told anderson cooper she's looking for in a vice president. >> i want to be sure that whoever i pick could be president immediately if something were to happen. that's the most important qualification. >> i'm tim kaine. >> reporter: who is timothy michael kaine? a decade ago as governor of virginia, he introduced himself in the democratic response to president bush's state of the union address. >> i worked as a missionary when i was a young man. and i learned to measure my life by the difference i can make in someone else's life rrt it was that stint as jesuit missionary

in honduras that shaped and now distinguishes him. he learned fluent spanish and still speaks it today. which makes him a different kind of attack dog against trump. >> if you're a latino he's going to trash talk you. >> reporter: born in minnesota and raised in kansas. >> the best decision i ever made was moving to richmond to marry my wife ann 26 years ago. >> reporter: he built his political career in virginia, rising from city councilman and mayor of richmond to lieutenant governor and governor. >> thank you so much r very much. >> reporter: 58, ten years younger than clinton. known well inside the party but not beyond. >> i'm not the one with the biggest profile. i'm not the one that's the best known. >> reporter: he signed on with clinton early. this time around. endorsing her in 2014 more than a year before she declared her candidacy. for an original barack obama supporter, it was a chance to make up for lost time. >> give it up or tim kaine. >> reporter: his politics are more moderate than the liberal strain driving today's democratic party.

he's catholic. outwardly moved by pope franc francis's visit. his views on abortion are far more conservativen. >> i'm personally opposed to abortion and the death penalty. law is what it is. i'm going to carry out the law. i'm going the protect women's legal rights to make 30 own reproductive decisions. >> reporter: he's also spoken out forcefully against the administration for failing to seek congressional approval to fight the islamic state. >> war against isil is just, it's necessary, it's noble, but it's illegal. there's been no congressional authorization for this war. >> reporter: it's an open question whether kaine fits the mold of today's rhett hod politics. yet his selection could help soften clinton's partisan edges. >> when it comes to our leadership in the world, trash talking about it enough. we need a bridge builder and we've got a bridge builder in hillary clinton. >> when tim kaine takes the stage later today in miami you can bet he will be using some of

that spanish that we saw there. it is one way the clinton campaign believes he can reach out to hispanic voters that they are so trying to excite against donald trump in this election. >> trying to excite those voters against donald trump. what are we hearing from donald trump after this choice? >> not surprisingly donald trump had a few comments on this on social media. he's calling them a ticket of insiders and he said this in particular. he said don't let obama have a third term. and he is drawing obviously that link to tim kaine and president obama there. he was an original obama supporter, one of the first governors to sign on to him in 2007 but this time he made cheer he's a clinton supporter and now this relationship between these two democrats is finally complete. >> all right. see them later today. jeff zeleny, thanks so much. a new wikileaks release this morning. nearly 20,000 hacked e-mails of democratic national committee staff members here including messages with personal information. we understand e-mails where

staffers are debating, had a deal with challenging media requests. the leaks were from january 2015 to may 2016 featuring dnc staffers pondering ways to undercut bernie sanders. now, i want to point out cnn has not independently established the authenticity of these e-mails but a lot of people looking to see how they may affect watts going to happen at the dnc this week. watch cnn for full coverage of the democratic national convention. cnn covers it in a way that no one else can. access you will only get here live from philadelphia, beginning at 4:00 p.m. eastern on monday. again, right here on cnn. well, the gop recouping after what some call a messy four-day convention. we're going to take a look at, i don't know, maybe some missteps or missed opportunities that might have happened in cleveland and how they move forward. disturbing new report on mh-370's pilot. matt rivers is following that for us. >> and there are new big

questions after a new york magazine report claims that the pilot of mh-370 flew a simulated flight whose flight path closely resembles the suspected flight path of mh-370 itself. big day?

there is this explosive new report that suggests the pilot who flew the downed mh-370 plane intentionally crashed it. according to documents obtained by new york magazine the pilot flew a similar route on a home simulator just a month before this plane went down. you can see the map here. the pilot was supposed to fly the math you see in -- on the map in yellow but the red line is the path he took instead. actually unfortunately i think that's wrong. the yellow line is the presumed flight path that the plane took.

the red line, let me correct this, is the one that was on that simulator. all right. we're clear there now. we must mention cnn has not independently confirmed the contents of that reported document. you might remember the plane disappeared in march 2014 on a flight to beijing. i say you might remember, i'm sure you do because it's really all a lot of people talked about for quite some time. the mystery of it all. there is no official cause for the crash at this point but this could be the strongest evidence thus far that it was a premeditated act of suicide and mass murder. again, cnn cannot corroborate this. we have not authenticated this. matt rivers joining us from beijing with details. what can you tell us about this report, matt? >> this is a very interesting development in what has just been this on going saga of the mh-370 disappearance. this new york magazine article published cites this document

they say they obtained, previously unseen document that was generated during the malaysian investigation into in disappearance. now, this document, according to this article, purports to show that there were hard drives that were attached to the in-home flight simulator of the mh370 pilot. now, those hard drives were taken away from the scene, handed over to the fbi, the fbi did their analysis and during that analysis, again, according to the article, there were several deleted data points that went put together by the fbi purported to show that the pilot flew a simulated flight that closely matched the suspected flight path of mh370 in the southern indian ocean. you showed that image earlier. the paths do seem to line up. and furthermore, the article claims that this document shows that that simulated flight took place within one month prior to the mh370 disappearance. and we've stone poken to famili here in beijing this morning

about this news. they say they are frustrated by it. they say if this document is real, if it's authenticated, why wasn't there more transparency, why didn't the malaysian government admit to this existed, why isn't this affecting the investigation in some way and why did the malaysians consistently deflect blame away from the pilots in this case? so those are their main questions as this search for mh370 continues in the southern indian ocean. >> yeah, we can just imagine what those families are going through right now. the hopes of finding this plane, they are not strong. authorities have been telling cnn that the search for the plane is going to be suspended if, quote, credible evidence is not found. what specific credible evidence do they need to continue their search? >> well, there is 120,000 square kilometers in the designated search area. only 10,000 square kilometers of which have not yet been searched. so assuming the plane isn't

found in that area, which investigators say isn't likely, they would need some kind of piece of evidence that would pinpoint the location of the plane for them to resume the search. they wouldn't say exactly what that is. family members we've spoken to say they have no idea what is. they say authorities are not telling them about it. even though the search is only suspended, really it is effectively over unless there is some kind of miracle piece out there to show investigators this is where the plane is. >> you just feel for those families there. matt rivers, we appreciate it to much. thank you. unarmed black man shot. you may will heard his name. charles kinsey. also now there's officer accuse of lying about what happened on that day. we'll have the latest on the shooter. when it comes to healthcare,

i don't know if you've seen this already but in north miami police officer we're learning is suspended without pay after a disturbing incident involving the shooting of an unarmed black man. it was caught, it was recorded, car in video. >> charles kinsey was lying on the ground with both hands raised when he was shot by that officer. cnn's sanchez is following the story. boris, what have you learned? >> christi and victor, charles kinsey is recovering at home this weekend after being released from the hospital on thursday night. right now there are calls for the officer who shot him to be fired but it's the actions of another officer involved in the incident that are drawing sharp criticism. this cellphone video taken moments before charles kinsey, unarmed african-american man, was shot by north miami police

sparked outrage across the country this week. but new developments suggest the controversy doesn't end there. on friday police released the names of the two officers involved in the incident. jonathan aleta, the officer who pulled the trigger is a four-year veteran of the department. he's on paid administrative leave. but it's another officer, commander holland who is now on unpaid administrative leave because city officials say he provided false and misleading information about the shooting. >> there will not be any cover-ups in the city of north miami. the police officer who you just heard named who has been put on leave totally violated his trust from the public to protect and serve. by giving misinformation to this department he not only jeopardized mr. kinsey's life and the life of his client but he jeopardized the life of every

police officer who serves this city. >> an officer who betrays the trust of any residents, of any community, must be shamed, removed, fired, and of course completely, completely lose the right to ever wear an officer's uniform again. >> meanwhile, representatives for officer aleta urge the public to resist jumping to conclusions, saying the widely seen video doesn't tell the whole story. >> the initial call went out as a man with a gun, possibly suicidal. that came from an independent witness who obviously called 911. there were other officers on the scene who also thought the individual had a firearm at one point they even thought he was reloading the firearm. >> that individual was an autistic person who walked out of the assisted living facility where kinsey worked. he then stopped in the middle of

the street to play with a toy. kinsey's boss says he was doing the right thing. >> my employee was trying to get him out of traffic that was going down the street. and then mr. kinsey has stated ks next thing you know the police sirens arrived and they -- we saw what he did. mr. kinsey was a hero. he saved the life of that individual. >> reporter: though several demonstrators swarmed the headquarters of north miami police on thursday so far the community's reaction has been more restrained than what's occurred in baton rouge and minneapolis in the wake of police shootings there. that's something both sides are hoping to maintain. the police unit has come out and said that this whole thing was an accident. they say that the officer wasn't even aiming his weapon at mr. kinsey but, rather, he was aiming it at the autistic person who was beside him in that video. the real question now is, what caused them to escalate the situation to that level where they aimed their long guns at

that autistic person. it is unclear right there. there is surveillance video from florida power and light taken nearby of the entire incident. we are hoping to see that soon to get a better idea of all of this unfolded. victor and christi? >> boris, thank you so much. this was supposed to be the republican's time to shine. but instead, the convention was scarred by disunity with several top gop leaders not showing up and then there was that ted cruz moment and his refusal to endorse. how does the party unite now even after the convention? but first, mortgage rates. they inched up this week. here's your look. perhaps it is time we acquire a larger dwelling. but the mortgage process has proven to be challenging. not with rocket mortgage by quicken loans. it is the easiest and most logical way to secure financing for your living quarters online. you can securely share your financial information with the push of a button. it appears now is a sensible time to relocate.

31 minutes past the hour. welcome back. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. >> update you on the breaking news in afghanistan we're watching this morning. an explosion has ripped through an area of kabul. this is an area where hundreds of people were gathered for a peaceful demonstration. we do not know what they were demonstrating but our producer tells us it took place near the afghan parliament building and kabul university. protesters were demonstrating -- just learning -- in favor of a large power project that would potentially bring power to their homes. we're waiting to get more information from that region. we will bring it to you as soon as we have it. all right. both tickets are now complete. we know that it's trump/pence

and now hillary clinton has picked virginia senator tim kaine to be her running mate. >> kaine speaks fluent spanish, which he's expected to show off in miami in just a couple of hours. this will be their first joint appearance as running mates. kaine also has a long history of political experience. one of only two people in american history to serve as mayor, governor, and senator. and he co-sponsored the iran nuclear agreement review act. >> donald trump is attacking democrats this morning and pointing toward potential party disuni disunity. this is a tweet sent out. po pocahontas wanted the vp slot so badly but wasn't chosen because she has done nothing in the senate. also, crooked hillary hates her. that from donald trump. but trump is facing some riffs in his own party which were front and center at the republican national convention last week. watch.

>> reporter: it should have been donald trump's crowning moment. >> our convention occurs at a moment of crisis for our nation. >> reporter: rallying cry for the republican party to close ranks against hillary clinton. >> this is the legacy of hillary clinton, death, destruction, terrorism, and weakness. >> reporter: instead, it was a mix of missteps, distractions, divisions, and out right anger. the convention floor seemed of chaos. movement launched a last ditch attempt to change the rules in their favor. >> the podium has been aban topped. i've never seen the chair aban doed like that. >> reporter: trump and rnc staffers squash the rebellion but the raud difficultness shines a light on the party fault line when's it was meant to project an image of unity. >> how is this for unity? >> reporter: next, humiliation for melania trump.

mr. trump's wife accuse of ripping off parts of michelle obama's 2008 convention speech. >> the only limit to your achievements -- >> that the only limit to the height of your achievements -- >> reporter: the trump campaign i' embroiled in finger points an initially refusing to come clean. >> we think that melania trump speech was a great speech. we don't believe there's anything in that speech that doesn't reflect her thinking. >> reporter: then the night that really shook the convention. ted cruz draws boos from the crowd after refusing to endorse donald trump. >> if you love our country and love your children as much as i know that you do, stand and speak and vote your conscience, vote for candidates up and down the ticket who you trust to defend our freedom and to be faithful to the constitution. >> reporter: cruz then doubles down the following morning. >> i am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father.

>> reporter: the ensuing chaos overshadows vice presidential nominee mike pence and his attempt to draw more like-minded conservatives to the trump camp. big name republicans then line up to lampoon cruz. >> he's a fraud. he's a liar. he's self centered. disqualified himself for everybody being considered president of the united states. >> i think it was awful and quite frankly everything it was selfish. >> reporter: meanwhile house speaker paul ryan who was slow to endorse donald trump finds himself stuck in a precarious political balancing act. the party's deep identity crisis all too clear. >> we've got really big problems in this country. and in our party we've had, let's just say a really big family discussion. >> reporter: as the dust settles from a bloody primary season and a bruising convention, the pressure is now on factions in the republican party to kiss and make up and unite to beat hillary clinton in the general election.

let's bring in scottie hughes, cnn political commentator and editor for rightalerts.com and also with cnn politics reporter eugene scott. eugene, i want to start with you. and how the republicans put this together even after what was supposed to be four days of unity in cleveland. >> it was very interesting speaking with republican leers and activists over the last couple of day, reflecting on the convention while some praised donald trump for the delivery of his speech many say that much of what they have been asking for from the nominee was still lacking in terms of detail policy proposals and ideas to move the party forward and to help encourage voters including independents to get onboard the trump train. >> guys in the control room, do we have that trump tweet we can put up? the one this morning. yeah, that's the one. let's put it up on the screen.

where he writes pocahontas, l elizabeth warren, wanted vp slot so badly but wasn't chosen because she has done nothing in the senate. a lot of people are going after or engage in this back and forth with senator warren because he expected she would be the pick. now that he knows the ticket is clinton/kaine why is he still going after elizabeth warren? >> because i guarantee knowing senator warren's activity in the past she is not going to back down just because she didn't get the title. i guarantee she is still going to be just as much if not more of an attack dog against donald trump. which i think speaks to trump. trump did not hide the fact that he brought on mike pence to unify his ticket, so at least try to bring the republican party together. there are a lot of folks this morning i believe amongst the bernie sanders camp that are feeling hurt right now. and when you sit there and look at hillary clinton, she picks someone just like herself, status quo politician instead of reaching across and bridging those bernie sanders folks in.

it's going to be interesting to see over the next week how this plays out, the chemistry between the two groups here in philadelphia. >> some would say he has his opponents now and they are hillary clinton and tim kaine. why go after senator warren. but eugene, let me come to you. any reporting on whether or not governor pence will release his tax returns? we know up to this point donald trump has not released his. >> we haven't seen that yet. but as you have mentioned people are still on donald trump, wanting him primarily to release his because regardless of his difficult de sire to bring on pence to unify the ticket, people are mostly concerned about donald trump. he will be the leader. and people want to know what he has done with his finances and what role they will play in the policy making decisions that he will propose eventually. yes, people still want to know more about pence but the focus primarily is still on what trump will do. >> congressman ryan released his back in 2012. should mike pence release his tax returns?

>> i honestly don't think so. i would think he's going to do everything he legally has to do because that would look bad if he's able to pop but let's remember, two separate worlds. i guarantee mike pence -- >> why would that look bad? why would that look bad? >> because if he's -- >> he's not doing it because he's in the middle of an audit, many people question that. >> exactly. >> if he can, why not release them? >> because probably -- i agree, he probably could. at the same time it's does he have to? he's done everything by law. mr. trump has done everything by law. if mr. pence, which by the way governor pence could look and see in past records he might have released it in other places. the only people scream screaming for tax records are the ones who are trying to find something to use against the candidate. they've done everything they are legally required to do. if you don't like the rule, change the laws of the next time we have a presidential candidate he has to do it. but at this point they're abiding by the law. >> it's certainly more than people who just want to knit

pick. nominee's party who want him to release his tax returns in the interest of transparency. we'll continue this conversation later because i hope we have time to talk about this news conference yesterday in which donald trump brought up rafael cruz and jfk assassination and this photo of heidi cruz. scottie, eugene, thank you both. >> thank you. you know, millions of us are under a threat of a major heat wave. allison chinchar has a preview for us. >> hello to you. yes, over 110 million folks are under some type of watch, warning, or advisory including 26 states. we'll also take a look at exactly how long this heat wave is going to last. get back to great. this week these 1-subject notebooks just one cent each. office depot officemax. gear up for school. gear up for great.

think about this. 111 million of us in the u.s. are experiencing a dangerous summer phenomenon called a heat dome. it's not that we're just complaining about the heat. >> this is serious. allison chinchar is with us. how high are these temperatures going? >> it depends on where you're going to be. the watches, warning, and advisories stretch from los angeles all of the way to newark. the hottest temperatures will be in the southwest. but some of the highest heat indexes will actually be in portions of the central u.s. where we have that dominant high pressure that's just kind of sitting there. to really understand why that high pressure plays such an important role let's break it down for you a little bit better. here you can see that high pressure that we have.

what that does is as the sun kind of comes through and bakes on to the surface of the earth, that heat begins to rise because that's what heat does. but high pressure pushes air back down to the ground. it causes it to sink. so it's basically trapping all of that hot air back down to the ground. essentially making some places twice as warm as they would be. we're talking 10, 15, some places even 20 degrees above where they would be. even though it's july, it's normally hot. we expect that heat. we just don't expect it to be quite as bad. and we don't expect it to last as long. take a look at atlanta, for example. we've already had 32 90-plus degree days. the third most. when you look at the seven-day forecast you notice every single one of those next seven days is also going to be in the 90s. so guys, we may end up topping out in first place. number one record i don't think many people really want to have. >> no doubt about it. >> certainly not. >> allison chinchar, thank you. we thought the list was

limited to zika and polluted water and funding crisis, political turmoil, construction behind -- >> a list. >> add to the list this now. terrorism, security fears, and a doping scandal. the latest problems at this year's olympics are facing. rosa flores is following this for us. >> brazilian authorities are calling it operation hashtag, a probe into alleged terror plot foiled by police. how did authorities bust these alleged terrorists? the detail, next. takbbq trophies:hese best cracked pepper sauce... most ribs eaten while calf roping... >>yep, greatness deserves recognition. you got any trophies, cowboy?

the 2016 olympics first marred by doping and now the how li olympics is threatened by terrorism. ten people have been arrested so far. what do we know about the threats, rosa? >> reporter: well, christi, the latest from brazilian authorities is one other suspect turned himself in overnight. that puts the number at 11 right now. now, here's the background. brazilian authorities were

looking at 12 individuals because of the online chatter both online and through text messages that the individuals were generating. authorities tell us that they vowed allegiance to isis, that they were plotting a terror attack. and that's when authorities in brazil kicked in. and that is why they issued 12 arrest warrants, 11 of these individuals are in custody now. one of them is at large. but christi, i have to tell you, brazil has been preparing for this. they have been doing drills involving hostages, mass casualties, even nuclear emergencies because they know there's been chatter online regarding possible attacks on the rio olympics. however, brazil is calling this a victory of intelligence sharing because they were able to foil this plot beforehand. and they are actually calling these individuals, these

suspects, amateurs. why? they say that these individuals in preparation for this alleged attack were going to take martial arts classes. and one of the individuals even tried to purchase a weapon online from paraguay. as you know, you try to purchase a weapon across international lines, online, that will leave a huge electronic footprint. well, authorities followed the footprints and that's why they have 11 people in custody. one is still at large. >> rosa flores, we appreciate it. thank you. olympic organizers are dealing with yet another scandal. melissa knowles is here with this. >> we know russia's track team won't be at the olympic games, but will the rest of the athletes be able to compete? that's ahead on "new day."

the rio olympics are said to begin just 13 days from now. and we still don't know if one country who would otherwise see a huge delegation will be there. >> melissa knowles has more on this. we know the russians take these medals very seriously. >> we are one day away from finding out the decision whether or not russia as a whole will be able to compete in the olympic games. the top official says he expects a final decision will be made by tomorrow on whether or not the entire russian team as i said will be banned from the games. world anti-doping officials say

russia ran a state-sponsored doping program for its athletes. they are urging the international olympic committee to consider the unprecedented step of excluding the entire russian team from the rio games. now earlier this week russia lost an appeal over its track and field athletes being banned from the rio games. meantime, another 45 athletes from the beijing 2008 and london games 2012 tested positive for banned substances. the ioc re-examined more than 1200 samples using modern science to catch doping that was actually undetectable at that time. now the latest group had 23 medalists from at least eight countries. a third straight gold medal looks pretty good for the u.s. men's basketball team. the new warriors teammate kevin durant out there playing together for the first time last night in las vegas.

a shooting rampage at a mcdonald's in munich. nine dead, at least ten wounded. >> people are confused and are screaming. >> the events of yesterday, of this night, makes us sad and speechless. hillary clinton naming virginia senator and former governor tim kaine as her running mate. >> i wanted to be sure whoever i pick can be immediately. >> hillary's legacy does not have to be america's legacy. >> donald told us i am your voice. i don't think he speaks for most americans, do you? good morning, welcome to

saturday. i'm christi paul. >> i'm victor blackwell. we have breaking news from afghanistan. there was a massive explosion near kabul university with multiple casualties. the video you're looking at is just into cnn showing this peaceful demonstration just moments before the explosion. but now a witness says there are tens of bodies lying on the ground in blood. we have new video of the explosion. we'll show this to you now. just seeing this for the first time. so we are seeing this for the first tile together. one worker, one aid worker, tweeted, many are killed. this is near kabul university after this explosion with multiple casualties. we will bring you the latest information as soon as we get it. but again, this is the first video coming in from that blast

this afternoon as it was there in afghanistan. all right. there it is. there's my countdown clock. it is ticking down to the democratic national convention. we are just a few hours away from hillary clinton introducing her new running mate to voters in virginia. senator tim kaine is one of ten people in american history to have served as a mayor, governor and now senator. >> here's something you may not have known about him. he plays the marmonica quite well. cnn is covering this story from all angles.

jeff bellamy is in miami. >> and michael smerconish is in miami. we'll go to jeff right now, jeff zelany, what else do we know about senator kaine? >> reporter: for years hillary clinton has been a political partner and now has picked a political partner of her own. she has good chemistry and repoire with tim kaine after going through a really long and exhaustive search that started we are told with some 30 democrats. on the wider list she narrowed it down week by week by week. but she had a private meeting with tim kaine once last week and then a lunch where all families came together and they clicked. but this is a look back, a look at who tim kaine is. hillary clinton and tim kaine, a new partner on the democratic ticket. >> do you want a you're fired

president or a you're hired president? >> reporter: clinton's running mate is an insider. a u.s. senator from virginia and a former chairman of the democratic national committee. >> if i have anything to do with it, we'll win again. >> reporter: by selecting kaine, clinton is betting the experience of government, not sizzle, the best way to defeat donald trump. >> elections are just the beginning. the real work starts tomorrow. >> reporter: he's neither flashy nor show vote. a seemingly safe pick in a steady hand. just when clinton told anderson cooper this in her pick. >> i want to be sure whoever i pick to be president immediately if something were to happen. >> reporter: so who is tim kaine? as governor of virginia, he introduced himself in the democratic response to president obama's military address. >> i learn to measure my life by the difference i can make in someone else's life. >> reporter: it was that stint as a jesuit minister in honduras

that makes him a different attack dog against trump. born in minnesota and raised in kansas. >> the best decision i made was moving to richmond to marry my wife anne 26 years ago. >> he built is political career in virginia, mayor of richmond to lieutenant governor and governor. he's 58, ten years younger than clinton, known well inside the party but not beyond. >> i'm not the one with the biggest profile. i'm not the one best known. >> reporter: he signed on with clinton early this time around endorsing her in 2014 more than a year before she declared her candidacy. for an original barack obama supporter, it was the chance to make up for lost time. >> give it up for tim kaine. >> reporter: his politics are more moderate than today's democratic party. he's catholic, outwardly moved

by pope france's visit to capitol hill last year. his views on abortion are far more conservative than most democrats as he explain in this interview. >> i'm personally opposed to abortion and the death penalty and have lived my life that way. the law is what it is and i'm going to carry out the law and protect women's legal rights to make their own reproductive decisions. >> reporter: he's also spoken out forcefully against the administration for failing to seek congressional approval to fight the islamic state. >> the war against isil is necessary, noble but illegal. there's no congressional authorization for this war. >> reporter: it's an open question whether kaine fits the mold of today's red hot politics yet his selection could help soften clinton's edges. >> we need a bridge builder and we've got a bridge builder in hillary clinton. >> reporter: now in just a couple hours, this morning tim kaine will take the stage with hillary clinton here in miami.

this is one of the crucial battlegrounds in this presidential election, certainly as democrats and the clinton campaign try to rally hispanic voters and try to defeat donald trump as their own convention begins monday in philadelphia. >> all right. of course, everyone who watched that live here on cnn, jeff zeleny, thank you so much. now we'll go to host of cnn's "smerconish" and commentator michael smerconish. michael, good to see you this morning. this is fresh, we are only about 12 hours into kaine being officially chosen. what are the rumblings? >> reporter: well, first, christi and victor, welcome to philadelphia. i couldn't be more excited that the democratic national convention is about to get underway on a hot but beautiful day in my hometown. i think what this pick does is reinforces the dichotomy between republicans and democrats and what they value in this

presidential year. because tim kaine is all about credentials, right? jeff just gave you a nice recap of his resumé. those sort of credentials seem to be valued by democrats in this presidential election year. and yet on the republican side of the aisle i'm sure you're going to hear from donald trump that this is nothing but another insider who stands ready to take on the number two position in the country. so each will play it to their advantage. i also think that by all accounts tim kaine is a very well liked individual. headline i read today talked about how he's been able to succeed despite having sharp el bos. hillary clinton has problems relative to trustworthy and honesty. and i think that this pick will blunt some of those issues that she faces. >> you mentioned donald trump. i want to read you his latest tweet. he said, pocahontas wanted v.p. slot so badly but wasn't chosen because she has done nothing in the senate.

also, crooked hillary hates her. why is he still bringing up elizabeth warren? >> i guess because it plays to the base. one of the reactions i have in terms of what we just saw in cleveland is many of us wonder when will the pivot come? i don't think there was a pivot in cleveland. i think that instead there was a doubling down of that which has gotten him thus far. and so the donald trump that you saw all week long in cleveland and apparently the donald trump that you'll see as the democrats are convening here in philadelphia is going to be the same one. you know, he's playing the hits that got him to the party thus far. >> you know, i want to bring up, too, this week of the wikileak e-mails that show the dnc may have been partial to clinton. trump tweeted about that as well and i want to read that to you. he says, leaked e-mails of the dnc show plans to destroy bernie sanders, mock his her taj and much more online from wikileaks,

really vicious. some believe it is going to be a problem when it comes to installing unity at the dnc. what do you think? >> i thought it was interesting at a different level because i thought it underscored, it seems not to have been so much about highlighting the fact that bernie sanders is jewish but rather perhaps creating the age of bernie sanders as being an atheist. and to me it underscored that there is really one glass ceiling in politics, the election of someone who professes to be a none, n-o-n-e, not a person of faith. i'm convinced someone will shatter that barrier soon. so long as you stand up and say i have a moral code and i'm running for office, it will be accepted by the american people that you don't necessarily show up on saturday or sunday in a particular religious institution. but that's what they were trying to drum up. and apparently thought better of

it. that's a wise decision for the time being. >> michael smerconish, welcome home. have a great time there. >> thank you for that. >> in philly, i'm sure your hometown will be out there in force for you. you can watch "smerconish" at the top of the hour at 9:00 a.m. eastern right here on cnn. thank you, michael. question, did the gunman in munich lure his victims with a fake facebook post? that's just one threat that police in germany are investigating right now. we'll go to our will ripley live in munich for a full report in a moment. you just saw michael there, the stage is indeed set in philly with the democrats gearing up for their convention. we are talking with the woman in charge to get a sneak peek of what to expect. and these are the lungs.

the latest shooting rampage in munich left nine people dead. there was one lone attacker and he had no ties to isis.

that's new. also police are investigating whether the gunman posted a fake ad on facebook possibly in an effort to lure victims there. [ gunshots ] >> the man in black appeared to be holding a gun. not sure if it's the shooter in question, but police say of the nine people killed, seven of them were just teenagers. and you're looking there at some of the candles that have become a memorial there in that area for the people who died. cnn's will ripley is live in munich. will, we have been getting information kind of fast and furious this morning as to what they're learning. can you walk us through it, please? >> reporter: sure. i want to show you, first of all, christi, this is the first time we have been allowed to get up close to the mcdonald's that

you saw in the video. this is where the person you saw firing the shots was standing and this is where the shooting began and where a number of people were hit. and then the attacker crossed the street here, we are told he's 18 years old, born and raised in germany, by the way. all of the victims are also german we have now just confirmed. and many of them died here in the olympia mall. this is the largest shopping center in munich on the northwest side of town just about 4 kilometers, a couple miles from the shooter's house. so this is a place where he may have come quite often as a lot of teenagers do when they hang out at the mall. but we are getting an indication from police they do not believe there was any connection to isis in the evidence that they seized from his apartment overnight. but they found research about shooting rampages. research about why students kill. and they say there were bullying incidents and theft incidents involving other young people going back to 2012 and 2011 when he was 13 and 14 years old. so they are looking as that as a possible motive along with the

fact that the shooting occurred on the five-year anniversary of the horrific mass murder in norway where 77 people were killed and a majority of the victims children, christi. >> very good point to make there. will ripley, we appreciate it so much. thank you. all right. it's the democrats turn, their convention is two days away now, and this happens as hillary clinton prepares to formally introduce virginia senator tim kaine as her running mate. but is the party united behind this newly formed ticket? we'll talk about it next. she spent summer binge-watching. soon, she'll be binge-studying. get back to great. now get a swiss gear backpack for only $10. office depot officemax. gear up for school. gear up for great. kellogg's® frosted 8 layers of wheat... and one that's sweet. for the adult and kid in all of us. ♪

all right. the democratic national convention starts in, let's say about 48 hours or so. quite the list of speakers at the convention. take a look at the screen. president obama, first lady michelle obama, vice president biden, senator bernie sanders, the clintons, you see there chelsea clinton as well. one of the scheduled speakers during the democratic convention is atlanta mayor kasim reid. he's now a loyal hillary clinton supporter. mr. mayor, good to have you back. >> pleased to be with you. good morning. >> good morning to you. we're going to start with tim kaine because that's the big story. we'll get to your message there in a moment. when hillary clinton was asked by charlie rose earlier this week, if tim kaine is a bit boring, her response was, i think we have it to put up, but if not, she said, i love that about him. he's never lost an election. he's a world class mayor,

governor, senator, one of the most highly respected senators i know. she didn't answer the boring question. do you think he's a bit boring? >> well, you know, in this time, boring is the new black. >> okay. >> so i think given where we are in all this going on in the world and everything that you just reported about this morning, it's good to have a steady hand in someone with proven achievement and a long track record. you talked about the historical nature of his vice presidency and the only person that has been a governor, mayor and united states senator, and everybody i have talked to is absolutely thrilled, victor. we feel good about the pick. what is most important is secretary clinton feels terrific about the pick. so we're going to go with steady, capable and able versus what you saw on the other side last week. we think that's a good opportunity. >> you say that everybody that you have spoken with is happy about this pick. but maybe -- maybe you -- are you happy about the pick? >> i'm thrilled.

couldn't be happier. >> here's what another said, making tim kaine our vice presidential candidate could be potentially disastrous for our efforts to defeat donald trump in the fall cited charles chamberlain. what do you think about that characterization? >> what more on what matters is where secretary clinton stands. you can't hold a person with as long a career as senator kaine has had responsible for every single vote. it's also really important to understand that president obama -- president obama really wanted that fast-track authority and he has a very strong relationship with senator kaine. so there are some positions you just have to stand on. but this is what i have to say, victor, i would much rather be secretary clinton then a donald trump. if you look at the electoral college map where this campaign

is going to be won, donald trump today sits around 160, 170. secretary clinton sits around 238, 242. and the fact of the matter is, we believe that senator kaine gives us a very strong opportunity to absolutely hold virginia, which really does put us in a much stronger position than our republican friends to win the presidency. and at tend of the day that's what this is all about, winning the presidency. >> what's your message for delegates next week? >> my message for the delegates is we are going to select diversity over division. we have seen what a party and what a convention is focused on division. i call it the death star convention. and we are going to have a convention last week that really embraces diversity and inclusion. we are going to have a big, bold, beautiful view of america. we're going to be hopeful, but we're also going to back up our rhetoric with concrete plans that have given the support of the american people that can really move this country in the right direction. >> you talk about divisions and

you called it the death star convention, i imagine you're talking about the rnc, but there are some death stars at the dnc next week fueled by the release of the 20,000 e-mails from wikileaks. it's important to say cnn cannot authenticate the e-mails, but it shows the dnc staffers trying to undercut and undermine senator sanders. what is your concern about what we saw on the first night of the rnc, trying to undermine, embarrass, the secretary? >> well, my sense is that won't happen during our convention. the fact of the matter is the truth takes time. all of the wikileaks information is new. i haven't had a chance to do a deep dive on it. i don't think anyone has. so we're going to look at it. if there's an issue, i think we'll address it, but i don't believe that it will damage this week's convention because i believe senator sanders understands more than anyone how important it is to defeat all of

what we saw last week. >> well, what do you feel, what do you think when you see as reported that there were members inside the dnc trying to undermine the senator based on religion? >> here's what i see. i believe that the truth takes time and that we need to get to the bottom of this. i think it's far too early to take a position until we know who was involved, what happened, and what is real and what is not real. so i think this is serious. i take it seriously. but i don't believe in making a rush judgment about important issues right now. and i take other people's characters very seriously. so we'll look at it. and if it turns out that someone was involved in appropriate behavior, we will act decisively. but folks need to remember that the truth takes time. and typically when you have wikileaks dumps, there's a motive behind it to the extend that there's a motive behind it, we can't let that motive prevail

and end up with a president trump. >> the timing may not be a coincidence. atlanta mayor, thank you so much for being with us, kasim reed. the security is high at the democratic national convention. miguel marquez is following that story. good morning, miguel. >> reporter: good morning, christi. security is certainly going to be big. marches, rallies, protests, in a city locking down already. we'll have all of that coming up.

pushing forward on the breaking news now, we have new details on the devastating explosion in kabul. this is new video showing the immediate aftermath of the blast

near kabul university. that's where it happened. afghan officials now say at least 31 people are confirmed dead. more than 160 wounded. now you know after these types of events these numbers fluctuate. those are the first numbers in. 31 dead. more than 160 wounded. the taliban immediately denied responsibility. and isis has just claimed responsibility for the explosion through its media wing. an eyewitness said she saw really a horrifying scene describing many people lying in blood across the ground all around here. now this explosion tore through a large peaceful demonstration of people calling for an expansion of electric power into western province. you know cnn will continue to bring you new information as we get it throughout the morning. but the headline here now, 31 people dead, more than 160 injured. we are just a couple days

away from the democratic convention. it's all hands on deck at this point. the democratic party is working to promote hillary clinton as the most qualified person for president even mimicking her campaign slogan stronger together. the delegates are officially expected to nominate her for president. but security is expected to be very tight. authorities are on, as i said, high alert after what we have been seeing in the recent mass shootings of the worldwide terrorist attack in kabul as well. so officers are expecting thousands of protesters in addition to all of the people who will be there, we should point out. one of the people miguel marquez is live for us in philadelphia. miguel, i know you have been kind of scoping out how things are looking. what can you tell us about what is happening there now just two days prior to this event kicking off? >> reporter: well, it is clearly ramping up in a very, very big way. they are expecting up to 50,000 protesters a day throughout the city of philadelphia and different areas as well.

the big question for them, delegates and demonstrators. how do you protect both? how do you make sure both can have their say in democracy from cleveland to philadelphia. i can tell you we got chased out of this area as they are locking it down, but over there beyond that freeway is where the delegates will gather. thousands of them. keeping them safe will be a big issue. way across broad street here all the way to fdr park here is where the demonstrators, the bulk of the demonstrators will be. but coming up this way, you would end up into downtown philadelphia, the historic part, where the declaration of independence was signed. and you are going to have many groups chanting, wanting revolution and end dependence much like the city experienced many years ago. the city had 6,000 police officers and law enforcement.

this will give you an example of the amount of security here. that's i-95, a major thoroughfare here. any vehicle over 5 tons is pretty much an r.v. and up will be banned during the dnc. back to you guys. >> all right. miguel marquez, thank you, appreciate it. as you know, everything kicks off on monday there in philadelphia. and cnn will bring you wall-to-wall coverage. joining me now for a peek at what is ahead, leah daugherty, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> so you watched the republican national convention last week, i assume. how will this compare and contrast to what we saw last week in cleveland? or this week in cleveland? >> well, we're excited about what we have planned here in philadelphia. you will see a stark contrast with everything from the delegates to the whole

republican convention. but beyond that, you'll see a party unified and fired up. all the democratic leadership will be here, the former living president will be here on site. the party's leadership, everyone united behind hillary clinton. we are prepared and we are ready for november to make her the first woman president. and to give our country the leadership that will move it forward. >> so you talked about the speakers and we have previewed a few of those. we know the rnc is working. donald trump's family, his children, his wife, they served as character witnesses, even some of his employees ha-- >> i want to put up these numbers from the latest cnn poll. the question was first, is she sincere in what she says? 41% say yes.

the question is, is he running for the good of the country running for personal gain? 54% say no. so how will she employ her family, those speakers to turn those numbers around? >> well, secretary clinton will have her family present, but also a wide swath of the democratic family. whether they are elected officials or every day american who is believe in her leadership and believe she's the best person to move our country forward. we are confident in her. obviously, she's won this nomination by every measure imaginable, whether it is by votes, by delegates or by states. she's won head and shoulders millions of voters who have shown up and turned out the vote for her. so we are confident in her leadership. and confident when it's a head-to-head match-up with donald trump in november, we will be successful and have the president that we need to move our country forward. >> i want to ask you the question that i asked atlanta mayor kasim reed a few minutes

ago and get the answer from your perspective. we saw the release of these 20,000 e-mails from wikileak, from the dnc, cnn cannot authenticate these e-mails, but the dnc bought these to undermine senator sanders during the primary. in one exchange trying to do that by creating some divisions based on religion. what do you expect that impact will be once we get to philadelphia? >> you know, i have not seen the content of the e-mails myself. but in my opinion, we have spent far too much time in this election cycle discussing e-mails and the content of e-mails. i think what is important is what the message is from the party, from what we're saying now and what we're saying in public and private about how we intend to move our country forward. so, you know -- >> but with all due respect, let me jump in here if i can, the

idea that we have heard, of course, from the sanders campaign is that the dnc had a finger on this scale to try to help secretary clinton. and now you see these e-mails, does this not give credence to their argument? does this not validate their concerns? >> well, as you said, you know, you have not verified the authenticity of the e-mails. i have not seen them and will not second-guess without doing the investigation, what the intent or context was of the various e-mails. i know because i've been the chief of staff at the democratic party for terry mccauliff and howard dean to ensure fairness. and i expect and believe that was the case this time. i have seen nothing in my interactions with the dnc that would suggest that the dnc had any finger on the scale for anybody, but really just tried to run a process fair and unique. i will say from my experience that when you're running a presidential process, no candidate is happy with you.

both sides complain. and if both candidates are unhappy and both sides are complaining about perceived slight, then you have done a good job. >> yeah, we get that from our end, too. reverend leah daughtry, thank you. i didn't say it in the introduction, but i wanted to make sure i said reverend daughtry, ceo of the democratic national convention. thank you. >> we'll see you next week. still to come, the mystery of mh-370 may have gotten more murky now. an article in "new york magazine" details what the fbi allegedly found in the pilot's computer. big questions after this magazine published this article claiming that the pilot of mh370 flew a simulated flight path that closely resembles the suspected flight path of mh370 itself. we'll have more details on that from beijing coming up.

the fbi found a flight simulator on the lead pilot's home computer that closely matched the presumed flight path of that boeing 777. >> matt rivers is in beijing for us. matt? >> reporter: yeah, guys, this "new york magazine" report really throws an interesting twist into this investigation. this report citing a document that the magazine said they obtained previously unseen document that details part of this investigation from the malaysian investigators. now they say there were hard drives attached to this in-home flight simulator, those hard drives were passed over to the fbi again according to the article, the fbi was able to find several deleted data points that when put together appeared to show that the pilot flew a simulated flight on that simulator that closely resembled the suspected flight path of

mh370. and furthermore, this happened apparently, again, according to this article, no more than one month before this plane disappeared. now, cnn cannot independently verify the authenticity of this document, but this really throws another wrinkle in this investigation. and certainly puts more questions surrounding the pilot in terms of his involvement in this disappearance. >> matt river, thank you. trump revives a debunct conspiracy theory in the death of jfk. we'll talk about that next. it's here, but it's going by fast. the opportunity of the year is back: the mercedes-benz summer event. get to your dealer today for incredible once-a-season offers, and start firing up those grilles. lease the c300 for $379 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer.

donald trump returns to the campaign trail on monday, but in his first comments after accepting the republican nomination, trump did not attack democrat hillary clinton. instead, he went after gop senator ted cruz reviving these unsubstantiated claims that cruz's father was somehow involve in the jfk assassination. watch this. >> his point out the fact that on the cover of the "national inquirer" there's a picture of him and crazy lee harvey os wald having breakfast. ted never denied it was his father. he said, donald trump, i had nothing to do with it. this was a magazine that frankly in many respects should be very respected. they got o.j., they got edwards,

they got this. if it was "the new york times," they would have gotten pulitzer prizes for their reporting. >> i wonder what is going through mike pence's name as he addresses that. i want to bring in ashley bell and tea party activist simone perry. good to have both of you back. >> thank you. good to be back. >> ashley, what was the point of that? >> you know, you can't beat it. ted cruz made a mistake by not endorsing donald trump. and donald trump wants to make him pay for it. i think ted cruz's career running for president is done either way. >> but he has his opponent now. he has hillary clinton. he's now the nominee. why is he still fighting the primary fights? >> look, i wish we had a teleprompter at every event donald trump was having, but apparently that's not in the budget. but we'll get one and hope he stays on it for the rest of the cycle. >> speaking of the teleprompter, i went back to read every speech of the last 20, 30 years from acceptances at the rnc. everyone mentioned the father of

republican orthodoxy ronald reagan, except for donald trump. >> that's true. >> listen to reagan's inaugural in '81 and then we'll talk about donald trump. >> it is time to check and reverse the growth of government, which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed. in this present crisis government is not the solution to our problem. government is the problem. >> government is not the solution, government is the problem. empowering the states, empowering the people. here's donald trump on thursday night. >> i have made billions of dollars in business-making deals. now i'm going to make our country rich again. when i take the oath of office next year, i will restore law and order to our country. nobody knows the system better

than me. which is why i alone can fix it. >> i alone can fix it. empowering the office. empowering the federal government. it is the small government gop dig. >> i do not believe it's dead. and i think that unfortunately in his beginning sentence when he said i humbly accept the nomination, it proves how donald trump failed to unite the party during that convention. and that was ideally the outcome. never trump would begin to die out, the conservatives would begin to fall in line and the pressure to fall in line has been mounting since ted cruz's campaign suspension. this was a prime opportunity not only to pay homage to former candidates and opponents but also to the founders of the movement, the founders of the party and he was not able to do that. >> i think that is taken out of

context when he says i alone can fix it. he means between him and hillary clinton, who is the candidate not beholden to the system? hillary clinton has time and time again chosen cronyism. look at the guy she appointed to securities as secretary of state. he was a security lawyer and knew about security in that regard but nothing about nukes and bombs. he's the only candidate who bernie sanders supporters can say is not part of the -- >> when i go back to read reagan's inaugural, it was about empowering the people. we give the federal government all its power. donald trump in his acceptance speech said i can do it. put me there and i can fix your problems. with that preface, when you were here last, you weren't enthusiastic about it or endorsing. after the convention, have you changed your mind? are you enthusiastically supporting donald trump? >> i'm enthusiastically wanting a change in washington like

everyone else. when you look at ronald reagan's statement when he said government is the problem, why send someone back to washington like the clintons who spent 75% of their time getting a payroll check as a government employee? >> but this is an anybody but trump argument. are you supporting donald trump? >> i have many reasons not to support hillary clinton and hillary clinton is the worst possible option for freedom in this country, people who believe in free markets. >> tim kaine, does he change the dynamics of the race? >> i think he significantly changes the dynamic. i think he's a safe pick for hillary clinton but the same thing about mike pence for trump. conservative republicans were not always two separate browns. no new political dialogue we talk about them separately. he's laughable if they are suggesting donald trump can carry this nomination without conservatives. i would like to see him rally the base, speak to the constitution, seem to individual liberty, throw out the talk of

imminent eminent domain. there's a reason why his son had so much more applause because he spoke of republican principles. he's showing he knows that he needs to by continuing to go after ted cruz long after he's dropped out. >> we have to wrap it there. but it's safe to say you have not decided to vote for him? >> i will not be voting for donald trump. >> i will be voting for republican nominee donald j. trump. >> always good to have you here. that does it for us here. see you at 10:00 for an hour of "newsroom." now we'll hand you over to one michael smerconish. stay close. for ult and kid in all of us. ♪ kellogg's frosted mini-wheats® feed your inner kidult
