this is cnn breaking news. we're following break agnews on two separate investigations. first saturday night's bombing in new york city. >> george, thank you for being with us. the fbi says it made a traffic stop with police on sunday of a vehicle of interest in that case. it happened on a bridge. as of now, we're told no one has been arrested or charged and that the investigation is ongoing. there may be another clue, as well to tell you about. investigators telling cnn that a man was seen in surveillance video at the site of the explosion. and near where police found this, a pressure cooker that was

discovered just four blocks away. it was rigged with what you see there, wires, duct tape and appears to have a cell phone attached but did not explode. we're also following a separate development in new jersey. police detonated a suspicious device found in a wastebasket in elizabeth, new jersey, about 30 minutes outside of manhattan. the city's mayor says as many as five devices in all were discovered in a backpack and says the men who found it saw wires and a pipe and contacted authorities. the fbi and state police are investigating. the devices were found near a rail line, train service has been impacted. deborah feyerick is tracking developments in new york for us. >> first let's go to cnn's rachel crane live in elizabeth is, new jersey with details on the devices found there. rachel? >> reporter: well, george, the local authorities, the fbi and the bomb squad responding to that backpack, which has in it the mayor tells us, up to five

devices. now, as you pointed out, one of those devices was accidentally detonated when a robot was trying to cut one of the wires. take a listen to what the mayor had to say. >> the robots that were going in to disarm it cut a wire and it exploded. i don't know the technological aspect of that. i know there are other devices. i don't know what they're made of, but they're going to have to be removed and all of the fragments from the other piece will have to try to be picked up so the fbi can investigate this fully. >> reporter: now, george, natalie, i just happened to be on the phone with the mayor at the time when that device was accidentally detonated. i could hear the boom through the phone. now, the mayor also went on to tell us there was no timer or cell phone that was connected to these devices. now, let me back up for you and

tell you how we became -- how they stumbled upon this suspicious package. two men saw a backpack in a trash can. they took out the backpack, looked inside thinking they would stumble upon something valuable. instead they saw wires and a pipe. they dropped the backpack, went around the corner to a local police station. the police responded. that's when they called in the fbi and the bomb squad. the surrounding area has been secured. the streets closed off. they also did a sweep around the area and didn't find anything. this trash can located very close to the train station here in elizabeth also very close to a local pub. the mayor tells us there is surveillance cameras there that should have some footage on them that would be valuable to the authorities. now, the train service has been suspended right now between newark liberty national airport and elizabeth, new jersey. that, of course, being on the northeast corridor where 750,000 people travel every single day.

unclear when service will be restored. as the mayor pointed out to me though, this is a perfect case of when you see something, say something. those two individuals going to local authorities, that's what helps this is situation get under control and nobody was injured. george and natalie? >> rachel, thank you for staying with that story there. i guess people will be waking up commuters to find out whether or not they have a way to get to their jobs via the train. thank you, rachel crane for us there. let's transition into new york. the investigation there. cnn's deborah feyericking is following developments in our new york bureau. debra, as far as we know there was a traffic stop that happened on a bridge. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: at about 8:45 sunday evening, this was a vehicle of interest. that's how the fbi described. but they also say that no one has been charged with any crime. obviously, a lot of questions. how did this vehicle become a

vehicle of interest? investigators right now following a lot of threads, a lot of really strong clues that they developed over the course of the last 24 hours. we can tell you sources now tell cnn law enforcement has surveillance video of the man they believe was near both the dumpster but also the second location. now, the man was rolling a black duffel bag. he is seen at the dumpster on west 23rd street. he then makes his way north up to 27th street, four blocks, leaves the duffel bag and then walks away. two men subsequently come up, open the duffel bag, take out the device, and walk away with the duffel bag. it's unclear what connection they have to this particular incident whether they just wanted to take the duffel bag, but 40 minutes elapses from the time that man is identified on the surveillance video to the time the bomb detonates.

and investigators did find a cell phone on the device that did not detonate. that is a crucial piece of evidence they're looking at very closely to see whether any calls were made into that phone because that could lead them to identify who may have been in that area and what number they may have been calling from, a source earlier telling me that the fact that there's a cell phone involved could suggest that it was used as a detonator to explode the device, and the call could have been made from anywhere. now police officers did find that second device. they were doing a sweep of the area. once the first bomb exploded. and that's when had he found that. the new york bomb squad was able today to render the device safe. that means they were able to send it down to the fbi lab in quantico for a more thorough analysis. but the two big questions right now, who did this, why did they do this, and they're looking at multiple connections to multiple incidents that seem to be

occurring really in this now 36-hour span, but keep in mind, dollars the united nations general assembly that's going to be in new york city this week. a lot of world leaders are coming to town. security was already tight. it's going to be even tighter as the fbi, the nypd, atf, all of them work very closely together in order to try to find out exactly what is going on here. >> absolutely, some very busy times there. we want to say the good news is the people that were wounded are now all out of the hospital and doing okay. that's the one good thing we have that very much grateful for that. thank you, deborah in new york. >> all of these developments come after another incident in new jersey on saturday. this was an explosion in a trash can. it happened in seaside park near a marine corps charity race. >> authorities found three devices similar to pipe bombs all wired together. no one was injured in that blast. and as of now, investigators are not linking it to what happened

in new york. and just before saturday's explosion happened in new york city it, stabbings at a shopping mall in st. cloud, minnesota wounded at least nine people, one critically there. the fbi is investigating what happened as a potential act of terror, one witness who, would at the mall described what she saw. >> all of a sudden, chaos just broke out. there was a bunch of people running into the j.c. penny mall entrance and they were just screaming that someone was going around the mall stabbing people and that there was blood everywhere. and it was just honestly a really scary experience. i dropped everything in my hands and booked back to my co-worker to notify her what was going on. i ran out a different exit out of our j.c. penny's which led streit to the parking lot and kind of jumped in my car and

sped off as fast as i could. >> police say the attacker appears to have acted alone. the city's mayor praised the off duty police officer who shot and killed the suspect. >> he clearly prevented additional injuries. and potentially loss of life. his heroic actions are exemplary having witnessed what he did as the suspect was lunging at him with the knife. not only did he fire, the suspect went down. he came back up. on three different occasions. >> officials say there is nothing clear connection for all of the attacks that we've seen on u.s. soil since saturday, but the timing, that is raising a lot of questions about a possible motive. >> the international security director for the asia-pacific foundation, a frequent guest of ours to help us figure out these complex situations and these

threats. he joins us live via skype from london. thank you so much for joining us. what do you make about the timing of this? >> well, it's worth remembering that these incidents have come soon after the 15-year anniversary of 9/11. there was concern and fear that that anniversary could coincide with attacks, but equally, we know the terrorists themselves would be aware that security would have been elevated during that period, perhaps they waited to do something afterwards. the question i guess remains, was there is an act of international terrorism, lone wolf terrorism, domestic terrorism. it is an act of terrorism ultimately. the intention was to kill, maim and injury as many people as possible. we're very fortunate that there were no fatalities in these. >> sajjan, you talked about the word terrorism. let's get into the semantics of that word because we know the governor of new york is calling it terrorism. the city of new york as the

investigation continues is not classifying this as terrorism per se. obviously, they have information that they're using, and they're looking into the case. they have reason for doing that, but from what you read into it, can you just kind of give our viewers an understanding as to why there may seem to be some difference between, you know, why some would say terrorism, why others may not at this point. >> george, in many ways, these are differences without a clear distinction because if you look at the devices in new york, for example, that the authorities discovered, these were pressure cookers with nails. they had time devices. this was designed to go off and kill and maim people and the second device may have also been timed in a way that it would hit people running in a specific direction. this is something that we've seen in the past with terrorism. some are drawing comparisons with the dwi that were used at the boston marathon bombing a

few years ago. this is something i'm afraid that we're seeing now far too often, whether it is directed by a large transnational terrorist group or an individual that is acting on his own, we are seeing more incidents and sometimes they lack the skill and ingenuity to be able to pull off a successful attack. that is fortunate. it's going to ultimately come down to the investigation by the nypd, the joint terrorism task force in new york perhaps using us cctv to see who the suspect or suspects were. we will find out sooner rather than later. i don't believe that this remain unclear. >> yes, they have a lot of different leads and they're probably putting all the pieces of the puzzle together. so yes, somebody is behind this. we don't know who, but we have been talking, sajjan, for the past few weeks that the isis story as they lose territory in iraq and syria, they have been

encouraging these lone wolf attacks elsewhere. so that is something regardless of who's behind this, that is something to follow. and also, just recently, a drone strike killed the head of propaganda for isis, as well. >> that individual that you mentioned al adnani was a very significant member of isis. he wasn't just in charge of propaganda but head of the external operations. whenever he issued a message it tended to spur on lone wolf attacks around the world. in his death there has been concern there could be reprisal attacks globally. as isis loses territory in iraq and syria, you can use the analogy of a coronered rat. unfortunately, what we're seeing is in many ways the new normal where these incidents will keep

happening, the authorities will keep having to disrupt them. sometimes luck will be required that the device isn't able to actually kill and hurt people and unfortunately, timing will also be significant too as was mentioned earlier that these incidents coincide with the u.n. general assembly meeting. if the attack can't kill people, it is designed to create disruption. regardless of what the ideological motivation is. >> live for us, giving insight into this situation. so many different situations to talk about. but important to point out, sajjan, that no international terror group has labeled any responsibility any claims to what we've seen in new york, in new jersey. >> still a mystery for sure. >> absolutely. investigators staying on it. thank you. let's turn to other stories we're following around the world. air strikes hit the city of aleppo for the first time since the syrian cease-fire brokered

by the u.s. and russia began last monday. it's not clear yet who is behind sunday's attack on rebel-held areas. officials say at least one person was killed. >> the truce was already at risk after a coalition air strike killed or wounded dozens of syrian troops. we're seeing them here in syria. u.s. forces say they thought they were hitting isis fighters but russia now accuses the u.s. because of this of defending isis. and failing to meet its obligations under the cease-fire. the u.s. secretary of state told cnn the other side, russia, is undermining the truce. so it's back and forth. >> so the seven-day syrian cease-fire expired about ten hours ago. and there's been no announcement of an extension so far. cnn's fred pleitgen is live in damascus this hour following the situation. fred, what is the sense on ground there now that this cease-fire has expired? there's so many people who are

just hoping for peace. >> reporter: yeah, they certainly are, george. i would say that the cease-fire certainly was very fragile to begin with, and we saw those breaches increase over the past couple of days. i was in aleppo just yesterday and you could really feel how there was anup tick in violence there. you could see there were more artillery strikes, back and forth shooting going on and air strikes we heard, as well. never the leads, the people on the ground are hoping that by some miracleka, the cease-fire could hold. we were actually in one neighborhood where people were already beginning to pick up pieces. here's what we saw. driving through a battered city, the cease-fire is barely holding in aleppo. breaches becoming more frequent. still, the residents are cleaning up. even the youngest. ali is 12 years old.

he and his siblings among the many displaced now finding shelter in a bombed out hospital. >> translator: we have 0 keep working until we totally clear this room and the room next door, he says, because this is going to be our new home. >> reporter: as calm prevails, at least most of the time, the syrian government is moving an increasing number of displaced people into the bombed out ruins of former frontline districts. these families forced to move several times. the baby abdul malik born in a tent. we lost three homes, his grandmother says, every one got destroyed. now we're displaced. if we had the money, we would flee. despite the fact that the cease-fire is very fragile, the people here aren't wasting any time getting to work picking p the pieces hoping against all odds, a truce may hold. and while few are optimistic

about the chances, some say even the current tenuous cease-fire is a blessing. the cease-fire is good so far, he says. i've been here a few days and situation is better. we can hear some shelling but it's much less than before. as the warring factions and their backers struggle to keep the truce alive, aleppo's people like 12-year-old ali hope the hard work they're putting in will not be wasted again. and while those people are hoping that cease-fire might last, there are a lot of things that seem to be working against the cease-fire. on the one hand, you had the air strikes that took place in aleppo. you also had that coalition air strike on those syrian troops that happened over the weekend. but one of the main things that seems to be undermining it the truce and the calm is the fact that aid deliveries aren't getting through especially to

the districts in eastern aleppo where the u.n. says its trucks are still stranded at the border awaiting permission from the syrian government to move and the various rebel factions in the territory leading up to aleppo, as well and very importantly, also safety guarantees for its people on the groundswell, george. >> in fact, that was one of the main aims of this cease-fire to get that aid into the people who need it most. fred pleitgen live for us in damascus. we'll stay in touch with you. this is "cnn newsroom." still ahead, a deadly attack at an army base in the disputed kashmir region. >> it has triggered tensions between india and pakistan. we'll have a live report when we come back.

we're following breaking news on two separate investigations in the northeast. first saturday night's bombing in new york city. the fbi says it made a traffic stop with police on sunday. of course, that's video there just after the explosion. but that traffic stop was the vehicle that they have -- they were looking at for interest in the case. we don't know much about it.

we're told no one has been arrested or charges and this investigation on going. there may be another clue, as well to tell you about. investigators telling cnn that a man was seen in surveillance video at the site of that explosion and near where police found this. there's a pressure cooker that was discovered four blocks away. the pressure cooker rig iged with wires, duct tape what appear to be a cell phone but it did not explode. also following a separate development in new jersey. police there detonating a suspicious device discovered in a wastebasket in elizabeth, new jerseyence. >> bypassers by that were just on alert. the city's mayor says as many as five devices in all were discovered in a backpack. and he says the men who saw it saw wires and a pipe and contacted authorities. the fbi, state police are still there investigating and the devices were found near a rail line and train service in that area has been affected. we don't know for how long. >> we'll stay on top of this,

the situation in new jersey. also the, you know, the track stop made in new york. a lot happening this night. also other news we're following around the world, tensions rashting back up between india and pakistan after an 17 soldiers were killed when militants attack add army base in indian administered kashmir on sunday. >> so many flash point areas and now sadly another one. four militants also died in a gun battle near the india-pakistan border in this disputed region. this was one of the deadliest strikes on security forces in this area in the past three decades. >> let's go live to new delhi. ravi agrawal join us with more on the attack. good to have you with us. can you explain first of all the significance and what you're hearing from indian ministers about this? >> george, this is a very significant attack for india because kashmir or this part of

kashmir has been fairly quiet for a while. on sunday, early in the morning, four militants attacked an army base in the town of uri. uri is right by the line of control which sa a line that divides kashmir into indian administered and pakistani administered kashmir. the town has been fairly peaceful over the last decade. this sort of burst that bubble that we've seen for the last few years. 17 indian military men were killed in this attack. seven more in critical condition even now. the militants were carrying ak-47s and hand grenades. you can see the smoke pluming over the entire town. so a very significant attack that india is taking very, very seriously. new delhi wasted no time responding to that attack. india's home minister said that pakistan is likely responsible. he called it a terrorist state that needs to be dealt with as such.

and that came after an indian army official said that he claimed to have found what he called, quote unquote, pakistani markings on the gear of some of the militants who were killed. serious accusations from the indian side that maybe pakistan is responsible for the attack. pakistan of course, completely denies this. it's calling those allegations baseless and irresponsible. >> vavi agrawal, thank you for the reporting. this is "cnn newsroom." we'll be right back after the break.

here in the united states and around the world, you're watching "cnn newsroom."

i'm george howell. >> i'm natalee allen. our top stories this hour, warplanes hit rebel targets in aleppo, syria, killing at least one person. activists say they are the first air strike in aleppo since the cease-fire began last monday. it's not clear who is responsible for those strikes. the fbi says that it is investigating saturday night's stabbing in st. cloud, minnesota. as a potential act of terror. a lone attacker wounded 19 people at a shopping mall. he was shot and killed by an off-duty police officer. agents and police made a traffic stop sunday night in the new york bombing investigation. no one has been arrested or charged as of now, but they did have reasons to stop and make some questions to the people in that suv. also, investigators say they're looking for a man seen in surveillance video at the site of saturday's explosion and near where police found this pressure cooker four blocks away. and now a separate investigation to tell you about.

this one in elizabeth, new jersey. that city's mayor says as many as five suspicious devices were found inside of a backpack. cnn correspondent rachel crane is live in elizabeth, new jersey, with the very latest in this investigation. rachel, what more do you know? >> reporter: well, george, the fbi and local authorities and the bomb squad responding to that backpack that the mayor says could have up to five devices on it. now, one of those devices was unintentionally detonated when the bomb squad as using a robot and that robot cut one of the wires. take a listen to what the mayor had to say. >> the robots that were going in to disarm it cut a wire and it exploded. i don't know the technological aspect of that. i know there are other devices. i don't know what they're made up of. but they'll have to be removed and all of the fragments from the other piece have try to be picked up so the fbi can

investigate this fully. >> reporter: now, natalie and george, the mayor told us that those devices did not have a timer or a cell phone connected to them. i happened to be on the phone with the mayor at the time of that detonation and i could actually hear the boom through the phone. now, the mayor just told thaws those devices are still on the premises, that the bomb squad is working on encasing them and that they will ultimately go to quantico where the fbi will continue this investigation. now, this all began, this evening when two gentlemen saw a backpack in a trash can. they thought there could be something valuable in that trash can. that's when they opened and saw what they said was a pipe and several wires. they left the backpack, went around to the corner to the police station. that's when they told the police. the police responded. they confirmed what those two gentlemen had said. they called in the fbi and the bomb squad.

now, this area around us has been secured. the fbi, the bottom squad, local authorities did a sweep to make sure that there were no other suspicious packages. and in fact, there were none. now this trash can very close to the train station here in elizabeth, new jersey. also very close to a local pub that the mayor tells us does have surveillance cameras at. now, train transportation on the new jersey, on the northeast corridor rather that has been suspended for the moment between newark, liberty international airport and elizabeth, new jersey. of course, we're approaching the morning commute monday morning and 750,000 people ride the northeast corridor every single day. unclear when it will be restored. now, this is the second bomb or the second device rather that has been detonated in the state of new jersey in less than 48 hours. but it's important to point out that no connection has yet been

made between these two instances. george and natalie? >> very important point to point out, as you rightly suggest here from investigators. no connection to what happened there in new jersey with the investigation that's still on going in new york. rachel crane live for us in elizabeth. thank you so much for the reporting. we'll stay in touch with you, as well. >> we are broadcasting in the u.s. and all around the world. we want to take you around the world right now. one of the busiest tropical seasons in japan is getting busy. yet another typhoon is headed for the region. our meteorologist has been a busy man with a lot to watch. a lot of things circling around the globe. >> good seeing you. this has been a trend that's followed for so many weeks in a row going back the last five to six weeks. a category 3 typhoon approaching your country this is what you hope for as far as diminishing

quickly. the reason natalee said this has been such an active season, since the 5th of august, this would be the sixth storm that has made landfall across japan. it copies one after another across the region. damage done in recent days. we know the soil is also fully saturated, as well. the storm itself is on the move. unfortunately, we're still in the peak of the tropical activity across this portion of the world from september into october, you would still see several typhoons around the western pacific every month. we still have climate toe logically speak another five to six scattered around the region. here's the track as far as the initial estimation. it kind of parallels the coast of japan. if your plans take you out toward tokyo, the forecast tells the tale. lower 20s around the mid-70s fahrenheit. notice rain almost every single day. at least each of the next four to five days across the region

of japan with the disturbance. we're watching what's happening with this tropical storm. taking a track parallel to the baja, california. it moves over land in the northern tier of california. it would bring rainfall towards southern california and arizona on the final day of summer on wednesday. something worth noting across that region. still getting a lost rainfall in the last couple days of summer, the delmarva region toward new york city, between 7:00 and 10:00 in the morning, heavy rainfall, would its way across the region. the region underneath moderate to severe drought in spots. notice the temperature trend, the mid-70s with all the clouds today. mid 80s come back in the forecast going in from tuesday into wednesday for parts of the northeast. natalie and george, we get one last breath of summer. some people are tired of it. summer like heat for a least a couple more days.

>> we keep hitting heat records. 84 in new york, kind of odd. thank you. of course, we've been talking about the u.n. general assembly. they'll be attacking the migrant and refugee problem. coming up, we'll look at people caught in a no-man's land. >> a look at syria's so-called ghost refugees. "yeah mom, the new kitchen's great. hey! if you want somethig to cook faster, you just double the heat--right?" "no reason." "hey mom, for laundry, the maximum load is just a suggestion--right?"

welcome back to cnn newsroom. updating breaking news this hour, first the latest on saturday night's bomb ing innew york city. the fbi and police made a traffic stop sunday night. they pulled over a vehicle of interest in the case. it happened on a bridge, we're told. one person -- no one's been charged or arrested in the case. the investigation still on going. >> also investigators now looking for a man they have seen in surveillance video at the site of the explosion and near where police found this pressure cooker four blocks away as ereported. it was rigged with wires,

duckett tape and what happened to be a cell phone but did not explode. we're following a separate development in elizabeth, new jersey. the city's mayor there says as many as five suspicious devices were found in a backpack sunday night inside a wastebasket. >> also, want to show you this. we just got new video in showing a police robot detonating one of those devices. we're hearing now that other, the four others are being transferred in protective cases for more investigation. the devices were found near a rail line and the train service we understand has been affected in that area. we all know this is going to be a busy week in new york. the u.n. general assembly begins, one of the biggest diplomat plomatic events in the world right there in manhattan. this year's assembly will also feature the u.n.'s first ever summit on the migrant and refugee crisis. the more than 75,000 syrian

refugees stranded between jordan and syria are a big part of the crisis. we probably don't talk about them enough. we got a rare look at the conditions they're living in and she joins us now from amen, jordan. hello. >> hi, natalee. we've reported extensively from this region about syrian refugees living in camps, syrian refugees urban refugees living in cities and towns. but these tens of thousands of syrian refrgs are living in the middle of nowhere in a place that according to aid agencies is not a refugee camp. they fled their homes in search of safety but this is where their journey ended in makeshift graveyard in no-man's land between jordan and syria. dozens are said to be buried here. this desert known as the berm is where more than 75,000,000 syrian refugees have been stranded for months surviving almost on nothing. they can't go back. they can't come forward into

jordan and threw are not really even permitted to exist where they are. so they're sort of being insidiously phased out of existence like ghosts. they're not seen and they're not recognized by any entity. >> reporter: as jordan tightened its boarder with syria late last year allowing only small numbers of refugees across, the population at the berm grew. in june access for aid agencies became impossible after a suicide attack by isis or jordan yan border gauld killed at least six troops, the kingdom declared it a closed military zone. >> there's been one food drop since the bombing and that ran out on the 2nd of september. so there's no meaningful sanitation there. there's no protection. there's no access to health care. >> reporter: the world food program had to use a crane to make that single food drop into the berm in early august.

our request to visit the area were denied by the jordanian military citing security concerns but through syrian activists and cell phone footage film ford cnn we got a glimpse into the dire living conditions. in the scorching desert heat and makeshift tents, they've been receiving limited amounts of water. there have been reports of newborn deaths, deaths from a hepatitis outbreak and cases of severe dehydration. this mother says she's been in the berm for about a year. her baby girl has no milk, no food, just a little bit of boiled rice. this man says his 4-month-old son is buried here. he needed medicine and oxygen but there's no hospitals, he says. this old woman says i have no, no one. i'm hungry and thirsty. help me. with no access, aid agencies say it's hard to assess the true scale of human suffering at the berm. jordan which is hosting more than a million syrians says the nation's security is its top priority and says the area is

becoming an isis enclave. in a statement to cnn, the government says we're in continuous discussion with aid agencies regarding this issue and we continue to emphasize jordan's legitimate security concerns and the best way aid can be delivered. this is an international problem, not jordan's problem. for now, they use what they can to prepare for a harsh winter ahead as they wait for the world to decide on their fate. natalie, in the miserable living conditions in the berm haven't stopped the flow of syrians leaving their homes. according to satellite imagery recently 0 obtained by amnesty international, they say that there has been a steady increase in the population at the berm. aid agencies are describing the situation as an emergency and they say that the world needs to act now. >> yes, that's a line we've heard a lot in this horrible, horrible on going crisis. we certainly hope someone will

because i cannot imagine being called a ghost refugee. how horrible. jumana, thanks so much. you're watching "cnn newsroom." we'll be right back after the break. right. in. your. stomach! watch this!... >>yikes, that ice cream was messing with you, wasn't it? try lactaid, it's real ice cream, without that annoying lactose. lactaid. it's the milk that doesn't mess with you.

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." a fantasy drama sets a new record and a true crime mini series dominated the 68th emmy awards. "game of thrones" won for outstanding drama with a total of 38 wins since it began airing. the show broke a 12-year record for the most wins by a series. >> i'm such a loser. i've never watched it. got to get with the program. and the people versus o.j. simpson" received nine emmys including wins for best limited series, writing and three stars. early in the evening, host jimmy kimmel joked about a rules change with the emmys. >> we're going to do things a little bit differently this year. this year for the first time ever, you must be present to win. if we call your name and you are not here to accept, the emmy goes to the next name on the

list. it's called the maggie smith rule. and this, if you don't know maggie smith, she has been nominated for the emmy nine times, won three times. how many times do you think she's shown up to get the emmy? no times. this year, she had a sunday ceramics class she couldn't get out of. >> and the emmy goes to maggie smith, "downton abbey." >> maggie couldn't be here tonight so accepting the award on -- >> no, no, no, no, no. we're not mailing this to her. maggie, if you want this, it will be in the lost and found. >> to break it down for us, let's bringing in kim serafin, the senior editor of in touch weekly and joins from us los angeles. it's always a pleasure to have you with us. let's talk about who the big winners were and who was expected to take home the most trophies. >> yeah, with the emmys, what happens every year, there seems to be a lot of repeat winners

deservedly. but they seem to repeat and win again and again. i think everyone expected, for example, "game of thrones" to win for best drama series. it definitely deserved to win, one of the most talked about shows with a very passionate fan base. this was a very good win for best drama and "veep" won for best comedy year. this is another show they had a really, really good year, a really good season. i think in a political year, i think people expected "veep" would win again. at least it's not "modern family" winning for i think five years in a row. "veep" could become the show that wins over and over again. juliette louis-dreyfus won for "veep" again but she had a fak year. and jeffrey tam bore won for "transparent" again. so much so people expected him to win, jimmy kimmel gave him his award before they even starred passing out awards, he

gave him his award because everyone assumed he would probably win and he did. >> you would think with all of the political headlines that we're covering here that people would get enough with politics but yeah, "veep" doing pretty well. people like those political shows especially that's what people are talking about. there were also some surprises and new faces. what do you know about those? >> yeah, it was fleiss to see a few newcomers win is always great. rami malik won for "mr. robot." people expected him to win because he's gotten so much attention. everyone assumed he would win and you don't have jon hamm anymore who people were always talking about so a lot of perennial winners weren't there. he won deservedly for mr. robot. tatiana won for orphan black. for so many years, she was never even nominated. people would say where is tatiana masani. she plays clones.

she's got a really, really tough job. this made sense she finally won and it was nice to see two new faces. although her name was kind of mispro nounsds when she won. hopefully now people will become more familiar with her. >> what about the nomination of tracee ellis ross. >> that would have been great to see her win. "black-ish" is such a popular show. the show was nominated. it would have been great to see it nominated. even jimmy kimmel made a comment about the diversity in the emmy nominations as opposed to what people talks about with the oscars so whitish. you really do see a lot of diversity with the emmys. a lot of tv shows reflect real life. so hopefully, tracee ellis ross will have a chance to win. blackish is on the air for a long time. people would have liked to see it win this time around. its time will be coming for sure. >> kim serafin senior editor from "intouch weekly," thank you
