a deadly explosion rips through a wedding celebration in southern turkey. the latest, ahead. plus, ryan lochte, apologizing to the people of bra si, blaming himself for confusion and outrage after an altercation at a rio gas station. also ahead, in brazil, they are celebrating after their country's win. it's first football gold. u.s. presidential nominee, donald trump seems to be struggling with the demographic republicans usually win. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta welcome. to the viewers in the united

states and around the world, i'm george howell. cnn news room starts right now. an explosion at a wedding celebration killed at least 30 people saturday night. all this happening in southern turkey. that celebration, taking place in a street that is commonly not uncommon to see that during the summer months there. nearly 100 people wounded. the president said isis is likely behind the attack. no one officially claimed responsibility. let's get the latest from journalist andrew fink el. >> we understand the president is pointing to isis, though, no official confirmation. can you give us context as to why the president believes isis is behind this? >> reporter: well, it is unusual for the authorities to come out and point the finger of blame.

there are various reasons why isis may be be hind the attack. one thr one, this is in the south of turkey, near the syrian border. it's a city that is swollen with refugees. it is a city vulnerable and listening to ea vents from the other side of the border thchlt seems to have targeted a kurdish family. it appears to have been an attempt to inflame ethnic conflict. they attacked a kurdish neighborhood on the syrian border. isis is fighting a losing battle with kurdish forces trying to seal the border with turkey. that border is very necessary for isis. in many ways, this may be a

revenge attack, an attempt to take back the tensioned in turkey. >> the backdrop of this, of course, you look back to the failed coup attempt in turkey and the different terrorist attacks throughout the nation. when you talk about this attack, at a wedding celebration, stoking sectarian violence, how does that impact the nation like turkey at this point in its history? >> reporter: turkey is very tense for the reasons you stated. just about a month ago, there was an attempted coup here. the government is grappling with who are the people responsible for the coup. th there's a state of emergency in turkey, journalists are being detained, universities shut down, academic staff dismissed. a purge of army in the civil service. some are saying, who is watching the story?

why wasn't turkey better alerted to this potential attack. the answer is the intention is elsewhere. this will add to those tensions, george. >> in this attack, a wedding celebration, and the family, some connection to kurdish political groups, yes? >> reporter: that seems to be right. there's been a great show of national unity following a failed coup attempt. the people that were deliberately excluded was a kurdish nationalist leading party. the people's democratic party and so they have been excluded from this basically general sense of show of unity within turkey. of course, it apparently was one of its members who was the family that was the victim of this attack. the party leaders are rushing to the scene for some sort of investigation. so, they, too, appealed for

calm. there's an attempt to drive a wedge between the population and the rest of the country. >> to recap the news for the u.s. and around the world, this explosion happened at a wedding celebration in turkey. they killed at least 30 people, at least 100 wounded. andrew finkel on the phone for us. thank you for your reporting. we'll stay in touch. one last day of competition to go before the summer olympics in rio de janeiro draw to a close. saturday, we saw more top athletes get the gold. a sweeping for the mens and women's relay. they took the gold in the 4 x 400 race thachlt is brutal. winning the soccer, believe it or not this makes the first olympic gold for the powerhouse

brazil in this sport. the entire country is celebra celebrating. we heard directly from the excited fans. >> reporter: these brazilian football fans are ecstatic. you can only imagine what it means to them to be olympic champions. it's an historic achievement in itself, but to beat germany in the final, on penalties, that's special. that's redemption. two years ago, germany got them by seven goals to one. it was humiliating, embarrassing, devastating. now, we take a look. how does it feel to see brazil be olympic champions? >> great. brazil is -- it's great.

i have no words to talk about it. >> amazing. as they were screaming, the champion is back. >> the only we don't have is the gold medal. already, we have the silver but the gold never. our country against germany is perfect. >> reporter: how will the people of rio celebrate? >> a party, of course. you are invited. >> reporter: this might go some way to making up for it. the five-time world champions are finally olympic champions, too. they did it at home in their iconic stadium. the games are drawing to a close and the biggest cheer has been reserved for the home team. don riddell from rio. >> let's go to amanda davis live from rio de janeiro. let's talk about brazil beating germany on penalty kicks. certainly revenge from the world

cup. i think don described it well. back then, it was humiliating, devastating and embarrassing. now, brazil got the upper hand. >> reporter: george, i was lucky enough to be here two years ago, one of the most stunning, incredible nights of football i have ever been part of. then i was lucky enough to be there again last night. i have seen firsthand how both of these games have affected the people here in brazil. despite the fact the brazil coach in the run up to this had been trying to play down the talk of revenge, there is no doubt that for all those 80,000 fans packed in last night, the people of brazil, this is very much how they saw it. the atmosphere was absolutely incredible. you could not have packed another single person into that stadium. i have never e seen a media box

as packed as that was. the cheers from the crowds. the absolute nervous silence during those penalty kicks. the nail biting gasps. when they stepped up and saw the penalty save, you have to feel for him. there was only a handful of german fans. the script couldn't have been written better. the baone who missed out from injury two years ago, he was able to step up as captain of brazil, convert the penalty and incredible, incredible scenes of celebration. this with everything brazil achieved at the olympic games, this is the medal they wanted. this is a religion, isn't it, football here in brazil.

the sixth gold medal of the games, but you suspect a whole lot more special than the rest. it's not just revenge but for many people, this is something positive out of brazil hosting an olympics that perhaps many didn't want to see here. george? >> what a wonderful thing for the nation hosting the olympics to have this moment, especially in football. amanda, let's look ahead to the final day of competition. what are some of the big events to look forward to? >> reporter: i can't believe it's nearly over. day 16 has come around so quickly. so much has happened. we are on the final day of competition as its traditional, we have the men's marathon, one of the final events of the olympic games. brazil hoping for another gold medal there. men's volleyball are taking on an italians.

a repeat of the beach volleyball which brazil won gold in. they are hoping to repeat the success there. perhaps the event with the biggest names of today is the men's basketball final. team usa looking to extend their unbeaten run. they haven't been as dominant as we have seen some u.s. basketball teams at the olympic games in the past. it's not going to be easy for thumb, up against the serbians who ran them away when they met in the group stages. certainly, certainly high hopes for team usa in repeating that success. then, of course, we have the closing ceremony, the climax of what has been an incredible three weeks here, george. so many secrets around the closing ceremony. we know that it's going to be a celebration of what's best in brazil. that's how it is being sold. we know there's going to be a lot of samba dancing.

a journey through generations. lots of volunteers and dancers. again, the question that we started the olympics with, will they be involved? there was a suggestion we might see him here. again, we just don't know. >> really has been great getting the coverage from you, from christina, you feel the energy and excitement from you guys getting to witness history firsthand. amanda davis, thank you for being with us. we'll be in touch on this final day of competition. the controversy involving a u.s. swimmer, ryan lochte. >> i am sorry. >> he apologized on brazilian tv to the people of brazil. he says he acted immaturely after an altercation that brought international reaction and outrage. brazilian reporters say lochte

vandalized the gas station and made up the story about being robbed at gunpoint. he told matt lauer that the whole ordeal was his fought. he admitted he overexaggerated his story. >> you told me on the phone, ryan, you said we are victims here. we are victims. we are happy that we are safe. the police press conference they said not victims, they are vandals. how do you feel about that? >> it's how you want -- how you want to make it look like. whether you call it a robbery, whether you call it extortion or us paying just for the damages. like, we don't know. all we know is there was a gun pointed in our direction and we were demanded to give money. >> gunnar, in his statement said someone who spoke english walked over and offered to help

translate this altercation. he made it clear the security guard was telling the four of you, you need to pay for that stuff, that damage before you can leave here or i'm going to call the police. you understood that at that time, didn't you? >> yeah, we had to give the money. >> at this point, you are striking a deal. you are striking a deal for what damage you caused so he doesn't call the police and this doesn't become a bigger incident. isn't that fair? >> we just wanted to get out of there. we were held, i mean, there was a gun pointed in our direction. we were all frightened. we wanted to get out as quick as possible. the only way we knew is this guy saying we have to give money. we gave money and got out. >> what i'm getting at is the first version is about the mean streets of rio. >> yeah. >> the version we are hearing now is much more about a negotiated settlement to cover

up dumb behavior. >> that's why i'm taking full responsibility for it. i over exaggerated that story. if i had never done that, we wouldn't be in this mess. those guys would never be in rio or -- nothing of -- none of this would have happened. it was my immature behavior. >> the evolving story there. ryan lochte speaking to nbcs matt lauer. they will review the incident for possible disciplinary actions. for the latest on this story and all things olympic on this final day of competition. go to our website, cnn.com/olympics and you can find it there. angling to reach out to minority groups. donald trump met with hispanic supporters over the weekend. more on the poll numbers that

show how most of the communities feel about this presidential candidate. trump also met with the fbi for a government intelligence briefing. >> on the one hand, a candidate who says what he thinks without a filter and someone else who the fbi called out for information. >> why donald trump doesn't trust u.s. intelligence so much.

donald trump and the republican national committee met with the national hispanic advisory council on saturdays. the republican presidential candidate is struggling to win over minority voters, including hispanics. he alienated many with his comments about undocumented immigrants. trump is trailing hillary clinton by 46 points among latino voters. he's pushing harder for african-american voters saying the republican party must do better in its outreach to that community. listen. >> i have asked the

african-american community to honor me with their vote. i fully recognize the outreach to the african-american community is in an area where the republican party must do better. and it will do better. the gop is the party of abraham lincoln. and i want our party to be the home of the african-american voter once again. >> while trump is trying to appeal to african-american voters and other minority groups, he is struggling with the demographic that republicans traditionally win, it's white, college educated voters. john king has more on that. >> make some magic.

this is 2012. four-point win nationally in the popular vote for president obama, but a thumping over mitt romney in the electoral college. if you are donald trump, you need to change blue states red and the dynamics of the election. one thing you cannot do is underperform romney with key constituencies. one of the big changes in the campaign, a reason trump is in a ditch, if you look at this constituency here, this is election day 2012. white, college grads, romney with a 14-point lead over barack obama. republicans always win the white vote. he had a lead over white college grads. you find a lot in the key suburbs, the swing states. big edge for romney, one thing that makes it interesting and trump's challenge greater, hillary clinton lead. this is the cnn/orc poll.

hillary clinton will a lead over white college grads. this is one of the reasons hillary clinton is winning in many of the big swing states because of the same dynamic. this is the state of north carolina. romney won north carolina in 2012. it wauz big deal when obama won in 2008. romney got it back in 2012 by winning 60/40, a 19-point lead in the college grads. they are big in the raleigh and charlotte suburbs. very important to win and clinton with a lead right now. a seven-point lead, romney won by 60/40. the democrat has a lead now among the constituency. again, you cannot win north carolina if you are getting crushed in this electorate. that was north carolina. a state he must win. it's similar in a state like virginia, a state donald trump

might have to win. tim kaine, the running mate is from there. she has lead in north carolina. a comfortable lead in colorado. what do these states have in common? a very important constituency, college educated whites. it's growing. a republican constituency in 2012, it has been a republican constituency traditionally. it's leading clinton's way right now. if trump can't change that, hillary clinton will win the election. >> john king at the magic wall. thank you. donald trump is not only behind clinton in the polls but also the search for money to run his campaign. this weekend, hillary clinton is in massachusetts attending private fund-raisers there. her campaign reported saturday, she has $58 million in cash on hand to donald trump's $38 million. in addition, a top political

action committee, a superpac backing clinton has 40 milli$40 to spend. together, they have spent $300 million so far with two and a half months to go until election day. each election cycle, u.s. presidential candidates are given government intelligence briefings, a practice that goes back decades. this week, trump was the first in the cycle to be briefed. what kind of intelligence is shared with the candidates? cnn pentagon correspond barbara starr look sbos into that for u. >> reporter: it's the trump tower version of a potential white house cabinet meeting. the key optic, donald trump in the same position as a president. surrounded by national security heavyweights, including former new york mayor, rudy giuliani and next to trump, retired lieutenant governor, michael

flynn, a key adviser. peter king answering the criticism that trump has no foreign policy experience. >> he has as much as barack obama had in 2008. >> reporter: soon after, another chance to appear presidential. trump headed to the fbi's new york office for his long plan, classified intelligence briefing from the obama administration. flynn, a decades long intelligence officer adamantly anti-obama was also there. before hearing the classified information, trump was asked if he trusts u.s. intelligence. >> not so much from the people that have been doing it for our country. look what's happened over the last ten years and over the years. it's been catastrophic. >> reporter: the plan to brief presidential candidates isn't new. this year, it is different, says former cia officer and briefer,

david. >> on one hand, you have a candidate who seems to say what he thinks rk without a filter. on the other hand, somebody the fbi called out for being careless with fbi information. we have never had a situation like this before. >> reporter: it included threats on isis. the so-called crown jewels of intelligence. >> donald trump will present a challenge to a briefer, but a challenge most briefers back in the day would have relished. a chance to get the message through to somebody who appears to take information differently than many other people. >> that was pentagon correspondent barbara starr reporting for us. no word, yet, on when hillary clinton will receive her first briefing. pushing a zero tolerance policy for drugs in the philippin philippines. >> they go door-to-door inviting suspected drug users and dealers

to voluntarily surrender themselves to the authorities. so far, we haven't seen anything turn down the invitation. >> ivan watson all over this story. why critics say the police have become judge, jury and executioner. we are live in atlanta. you are watching cnn news room. squuuuack, let's feed him let's feto the sharks!sharks! yay! and take all of his gold! and take all of his gold! ya! and hide it from the crew! ya...? squuuuack, they're all morons anyway! i never said that. they all smell bad too. no! you all smell wonderful! i smell bad! if you're a parrot, you repeat things.

it's what you do. if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do. squuuuack, it's what you do.

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. you are watching cnn news room. it is good to have you with us. i'm george howell with the headlines. this hour, a terror attack at a wedding celebration in southern

turkey. the death toll has risen to 50 people dead according to local officials. dozens of others are wounded there. this explosion happened near the syrian border. turkey's president says he believes isis is likely behind the attack. no one claimed official responsibility. u.s. swimmer, ryan lochte, admitting to matt lauer that he over exaggerating the story about him and his teammates being robbed at gunpoint. the ioc and u.s. swimming will review it for disciplinary actions. boxing fans have reason to celebrate after two back-to-back golds. ramirez won the men's ban tom weight final ond lopez took middle weight. cuba has 11 golds in rio. in afghanistan, an official says security forces have retaken a

district from the taliban. earlier on saturday, militants there briefly took over the district near the key city of dunduz. it was a major victory for that group. we have a sad story to update you on that has drawn enormous attention from around the world. many people have seen the image of this little boy. he's a 5-year-old syrian child pulled from the rubble of an air strike in aleppo. we now know his older brother has died. cnn has more on the family's heart breaking story. >> according to a local official from aleppo, his 10-year-old brother died at 9:00 a.m. local time on saturday in aleppo. he says he died of wounds that were sustained as a result of the air strike on wednesday. for the past three days, he's

been in critical condition. the mother of the boys remains in critical condition. the family, according to this official, remains in aleppo where the humanitarian situation, the disaster continues to unfold with the escalating violence we have been seeing according to activists he was not the only child who died on saturday. according to activists, there was another air strike in the western aleppo countryside. they say four children were also killed in this air strike. it's another tragic reminder of what we hear from so many syrians and activists in the past couple days saying there are thousands of others like this, so many tragic stories, but we don't get to see them all. aide workers and activists were hoping this tragic story, this image would refocus the world's

attention on the brutal conflict and the situation in the besieged area of aleppo where, for weeks now, aid has not reached the areas. we have heard it from the united nations, asking and calling for a cease-fire to bring in much needed aid in these areas. we have heard world towers condemning the violence and the russians saying they are willing to have a 48-hour cease-fire and call for, you know, an end to the violence. president bush lickly and officially, we haven't seen any movement, yet, to implement such a cease-fire. now, this is something that will happen essentially or have to be brokered by the united states and russia as we have seen in the past. until that happens, this unimaginable buffering continues in aleppo. a few days ago, we heard from the president of the international committee of the red cross describing the

situation in aleppo. it's one of the most devastating conflicts of modern time. really, with no end in sight at this point. >> no end in sight. syrians fleeing the war are faced with other dangers as well and other tragedies. the bodies of two young girls and three adult who is drown in the mediterranean arrived in sicily aboard a boat. one of the girls, just eight months old, the other 5 years old. a boy who was 5 also drown. that body has not been discovered. now, to yemen's civil war. tens of thousands of people came out saturday for the houthi led council. they vowed to form a new government. houthi rebels had been fighting the internationally recognized government for control. the group, doctors without

particular fire. no kidding, we are talking 1500 individuals, at least firefighters, 250 fire engines battling the braise and 14 chinook helicopters as well. they have done an incredible job battling this massive, massive blaze which has burned over 37,000 acre sos far. this is good news. we are 73% containment and improving from here. at one point, this particular blue cut fire was explosive. it's a term we use to discuss very rapidly expanding wildfire. at one point, it was burning the equivalent of 500 football fields per hour, a significant growth in this fire. that's because they are tinderbox conditions across this part of southern california. i want to show you something, though, comparing last year to this year, over from the beginning of the year to the current date, we are seeing a

significant reduction in forest fires. we are right in the middle of this season. we anticipate forest fires to continue over the western u.s. a quick update on louisiana flooding. very isolated showers and storms today. maybe an opportunity for the floodwater to recede. look to the west. flash flood warnings for san antonio and south of the austin region. george, you know this area very well. flooding is a major concern for texas, to say the least. the frontal boundary will bring more rain. >> louisiana already doing the best. people trying to recover from the rain they got. >> it's been a rough ten days for them. >> thank you so much. still ahead, we go to the philippines, a look at the crackdown in drugs in that country. why the president's policies have gone too far. boost water gel.

turn down the invitation. police lead suspects back to town hall. here, urine tests, fingerprints and mug shots look like procedures for an arrest until the new arrivals are instructed to take this oath. >> surrender to the police and government authorities that i am an illegal drug -- >> reporter: more than half a million filipinos have turned themselves in this way in seven weeks says it brand yu police chief. with no evidence, arrest warrants or trial, many of them will end up on a watch list. >> we have zero tolerance for drugs. we want to have a drugless society. >> reporter: is that realistic? >> no.

it can not be achieved. >> reporter: the largest drug rehabilitation center is crowded and overwhelmed says the doctor. he's seen a sudden surge in new patients. 30 new patients a day. why are they coming? >> most because of fear. >> reporter: fear? >> what's going on outside. the government's actions, the pnp. the police, the crackdown has made them fear they will be incarcerated or killed. >> reporter: since the philippine's president launched the war on drugs, they have killed at least 659 people across the country. are the police being ordered to kill suspected drug dealers? >> we have to kill them if they endanger our lives.

this hour of cnn news room. i'm george howell. i'll be back after the break with another hour of news from around the world. you are watching cnn, the world's news leader.

chaos and tragedy at a wedding in southern turkey. dozens of people are killed after a blast rips through a celebration. the government, pointing the finger toward isis. ryan lochte, breaking his silence. what he's now saying about the gas station incident in rio dde janei janeiro. plus this. the host nation gets to boast. brazil takes its first olympic gold in football.

soccer. after taking down germany. live from cnn headquarters in atlanta, welcome. to our viewers here in the united states and around the world, i'm george howl. cnn newsroom starts right now. 5:01 on the u.s. east coast. terror strikes a wedding celebration in southern turkey, the death toll now risen to 50 people dead, dozens of others wounded. this happened saturday night in a city near the syrian border in g g gaziantep. >> translator: the attack was carried out like an atrocity. we want to end these massacres. we are in pain, especially the women and children. >> let's get the latest from

journalist andrew finkel on the line. the president of turkey is pointing to isis. what indication are authorities getting for the president believing that isis is behind this? >> reporter: well, they were very prompt in identifying isis as the source of this attack. of course, it was an attack against a kurdish family, a kurdish neighborhood in the city of gaziantep. isis is the most likely suspect in that. apparently the authorities are found a suicide vest and have probably identified the attacker. isis' motive for wanting to carry out this incredible atrocity is, in a sense, that they feel themselves to be on the receiving end of a successful kurdish attempt on the syrian side of the border to work away, to prevent them from consolidating their gains.

ois is being driven away from the syrian side of the border. this may very well be a revenge attack for that as well as an attempt to stoke sectarian violence within turkey itself, george. >> let's talk more about that, stoking sectarian violence, given the backdrop of turkey, as we know it today. a failed coup attempt, a nation that has seen several terror attacks. so, when it comes to attacks like this, very personal attacks, quite frankly, at a wedding celebration in the streets. how does that affect and impact that nation? >> well, of course, as you say, this is a very tense time in turkey. in any case, there was a failed coup attempt. not just a month ago. and as a result of that, turkey is now under a state of emergency. and the government has been very anxious to show that support is unified, that there's all-party

support against the coup and in favor of turkey returning to some sort of normalcy. it has been supporting the kurdish nationalist party from these shows of unity. of course, apparently one of the members of that party was the family which this attack took place. so, clearly, this was a clever attempt by isis to drive a wedge between the kurds in turkey and the rest of the country, george. >> journalist andrew finkel on the line, with us live in istanbul, turkey. again, the death toll at 50 and many, many more wounded. andrew, thi thank you. we'll stay in touch to continue following this story. this story just in to cnn. ten people are dead after two suicide car bombs hit a government building in central somalia in the town of galkayo. after exchanging fire with security forces, the attack

target administrative offices but it's not clear that the point who is responsible. in afghanistan, a government official says security forces have retaken a strategic district, kunduz, from the taliban. the taliban temporarily seized that city last year in what was a major victory for that group. fair to say that brazil is finding its best reason yet to celebrate the olympic spirit. look at this. know why? fans there are celebrating a gold medal in their own national sport. brazil's footballers, their soccer team, beat germany for the men's title. the same team that embarrassed them in the world cup two years ago. despite five world championships, this is brazil's

first-ever olympic gold in football. for more on the games and a look ahead at the final day of competition, amanda davis joins us live in rio. good day to you. we have to talk about this. the host nation, beating germany in their own country. >> reporter: george, the celebrations are still been going on here in rio. it's just gone 6:00 am here and there's a lot of people who still haven't been to bed. they've been trying to play down talk of revenge officially, anyway, of course, after that humiliating dreadful defeat in the semi final of the world cup two years ago. there's no doubt of the feeling at the maracana last night that it was revenge and more than that because of three olympic final defeats before this point. this is the one, of all the investments, of everything that brazil has been through in the

last few years, to get to this point of hosting the games, this was the gold medal they really, really wanted to win. and it was such a tense, tight affair. the atmosphere was incredible. usain bolt decided it was a big enough occasion that he turned up to watch from the stands. neymar celebrated with the lightning bolt. but then when it went to penalties, oh, my goodness, the questions being asked, he didn't envy the german players stepping up, you have to say. there was maybe a handful of german fans inside that stadium. there weren't many people supporting germany at all. nils, you had to feel for him, had his penalty saved and the script was written really, wasn't it, for 24-year-old neymar, brazil's captain who had been forced to miss that semi

final so dramatically through the world cup. he was able to step up to convert the winning penalty. as he puts it, he has fulfilled his dream. but not just his dream, george. that of a whole host of people here in rio and across brazil, particularly in this games that there's been such controversy about them hosting. a really, really special evening, one i will certainly remember for a long time to come. there was a lot of dramatic action at the olympic stadium. cementing his place as perhaps the greatest distance runner of all time, successfully defending the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters crown. he did admit it hurt in the 5,000 meters last night, a few days after that 10,000 meter gold medal winning run. they went fast, ethiopians, to break him but mo farah held

firm. very successful night for team usa. they are leading the way in the medals after victory in both the men's and women's 4 by 1 h00. >> it's exciting -- it's got to be for you, on that side in rio. on this side just to watch the games and all these amazing stories by these athletes, so inspiring. amanda, looking forward at the last day of competition, what events should we look forward to? >> reporter: george, it's making me sad. actually, rio is sad as well this morning. it is really wet and really windy and maybe realizing that it's all about to come to an end. day 16. there are a few events still to look forward to. men's marathon traditionally is one of the last events at the games. brazil are hoping for another gold. it's been their most successful olympics ever with that victory

last night. but the men's volleyball team will be looking to win their first gold for brazil since athens in 2004, up against italy. a repeat of the beach volleyball final, actually, which brazil did emerge victorious from. team usa, not as convincing as you might would have expected but looking to extend that unbeaten run. serbia will give them a tough task. it was a tight match when they squared off in the opening rounds and then, of course, the climax is that closing ceremony later this evening. so much secrets. secret always surrounds the closing ceremony. they want to keep the surprise going, don't they? it will be the celebration of the best of brazil. that's the phrase being used. we'll see a lot of samba through the generations, passing through the generations, we understand.

we know simone biles, superstar of team usa, has been given the honor of carrying the flag for her. and then that traditional eight minutes of tokyo 2020. their chance to tell us what we have to look forward to. because the countdown for the next olympics is already on, george. >> already on. but so sad to see these rio games coming to a conclusion. amanda davies, i'm sure it's been incredible out there. thank you so much for the reporting. as these games draw to a close, the u.s. is outpacing the field, american team with with a whopping 116 medals and 48 golds. great britain and china separated by just one gold and russia took over fourth place saturday narrowly passing germany. now on to the u.s. olympic swimmer ryan lochte, admitting that, he quote, over exaggerated

his story about an altercation at a rio gas station. authorities say he vandalized that gas station and made up the story about being robbed at gun point. he spoke about the scandal in his first television interview since he apologized on social media. the olympian told nbc's matt lauer the whole ordeal was his fault. >> what i'm trying to get at is the first version of the story you told, ryan, was much more about the mean streets of rio. >> yeah. >> and the version we're hearing now is much more about a negotiated settlement. >> uh-huh. >> to cover up some dumb behavior. >> and that's why i'm taking full responsibility for it, is because i over exaggerated that story. and if i had never done that, we wouldn't be in this mess. those guys would never be in rio or were in rio. none of this would have happened and it was my immature behavior.

>> ryan lochte there. both the international olympic committee and usa swimming will review the incident for possible disciplinary actions. you're watching "cnn newsroom." we'll continue to bring you all the updates on cnn.com and still ahead, reduced to ashes. fire destroys a legendary california diner. details ahead here on "newsroom." clarence event. looks right to me. shouldn't it be clear- clearly... it is time to get a great deal and a reward card on this turbocharged jetta. gotta make room for the 2017 models. it is a clarence event. why is that so hard for people to understand? it seems clar to me. clear to me. ready for a test drive? whatever you want to call it, don't miss the volkswagen model year end event. hurry in for a $1,000 volkswagen reward card and 0% apr on a new 2016 jetta. and grease in just a minute on dirt and grime mr. clean will clean your whole house

now current vice presidential candidate mike pence and has challenged a hillary clinton presidency for more than a decade. >> the high water mark was in 1998 at 20%. that was the year that her husband used her like a doormat. he cheat ed on her, humiliated her, which suggests to me that -- >> kellyanne? >> i admire her because i feel sorry for her. >> even though conway may not have backed the trump candidacy. >> it's time for a change. >> saying in an interview, quote, although americans love to pretend they have this great love affair with change and choice and evolution, they order the same thing at mcdonald's every single night. they really don't like change. they like consistency. they adhere to certainty. >> we're going to make sure donald trump is comfortable about being in his own skin, that he doesn't lose that authenticity. >> for trump that means winning
