1:01 am
donald trump says he has no regrets about his outburst on twitter against a former miss universe at 3:00 in the morning on friday. he lashed out at ex-beauty queen alicia machado accusing her of having a sex tape and a sordid past, as well. you can bet that hillary clinton had something to say about this. more now from jim acosta. why did you go on the late night tweet storm? >> reporter: when it comes to his battle with former miss universe alicia machado, donald trump is no mr. congeniality. his response to her claim trump called her "miss piggy" for gaining weight, the gop nominee lashed out in bombastic tweets in the middle of the night. did crooked hillary help disgusting check out sex tape and past aleacha m. become a citizen to use her in the debate? and using alicia m. in the debate is a paragon of virtue. just shows that crooked hillary suffers from bad judgment. hillary was set up by a son --
1:02 am
by a con. the trump chain says it's just firing back. >> i don't know miss machado, but she's not a very credible witness. >> reporter: machado insists her past is nottel are ve el artelt relevant admitting -- >> everybody has a past. i'm not -- a thin girl, but that is not a point now. >> reporter: in a statement, she says trump's latest attacks are cheap lies with bad intentions adding, "trump insists on demoralizing minorities and people of certain religions through his hateful campaign. this is one of his most frightful characteristics." trump is also ripping into the clintons with not so-so-subtle references to their past marital problems. >> the clintons are the sordid past. we will be the very bright and clean future. >> reporter: raising questions of hypocrisy for trump who's on his third marriage and has had
1:03 am
his own issues with adultery. >> you're not worried about your past history? >> not at all. i have a very good history. >> reporter: trump is also attacking the media, blasting reports that he was furious at aides for spilling the beans on his debate preparations, tweeting, "remember, don't believe sources said by the very dishonest media. if they don't name the sources, the sources don't exist." >> that was jim acosta. the question, is it really acceptable for a presidential candidate to fire off a tweet storm at 3:00 in the morning about a sex tape among other things? anderson cooper spoke a short time ago with commentators jeffrey lord and anna navarro and asked them that very question. >> is this presidential -- would you want a president of the united states to be up at 4:00 a.m. encouraging people to go look for a sex tape? >> yeah. if it's worth looking for, anderson. look, anderson, seriously, seriously, i want -- >> i don't know what that means.
1:04 am
>> i want to make this a serious point -- >> it is a serious point. would you want the president of the united states up at 4:00 a.m. telling people, americans, to go -- kids, whoever's on the twitter feed? yes -- >> anderson, let me answer. what i'm trying to communicate to you is that there are a lot of americans out there who think that all of this presidential stuff and all of these kind of conventions that we have are horse hockey. that they're held by arrogant people, conventional people who have disdain for the average guy. and he is reaching out to them through twitter and, yes, what we consider and what i would certainly consider to be unconventional methods. >> and let me rescue my friend jeffrey. you know, he has grown on me, like poisonous mushrooms. but he has grown on me. look, jeff, at some point, you are a sane man. i mean, you have a pathological, clinical need to mention ronald reagan in every sentence, but you are a good, decent human being. it is time that surrogates for trump stop the insanity and let
1:05 am
this man know that it is unjustifiable. it is inexplicableable. it is illogical. it is immature. it is unpresidential. it is unseemly. it is disgusting, and it is gross for someone five weeks away from an election day for president of the united states, leader of the free world, to be tweeting at 4:00 a.m. in the morning about a sex tape. for the love of god, jeffrey, you know better than this! stop justifying the unjustifiable! >> anna navarra getting heated there. let's talk about this in terms of polls, how this translates in terms of polls. a new national poll shows that after tuesday's debates, clinton actually ended up gaining some ground on trump. want to show the numbers. up on the screen. clinton, you see, at the lead. in the lead, rather, with 43% nationwide. trump slightly behind at 40%, according to a fox news poll. it's such a small bump. basically just two points. what we're looking at is pretty much a virtual tie because it is
1:06 am
within the margin of error. when you look at battleground states, clinton has more of a reason to smile. in michigan, she's up by seven points. 42%. he's at 35%. in new hampshire, another state that could go either way in november, she's also ahead by the same amount. and in all-important florida, the race has narrowed to just four points. by the way, florida is crucial in the election in the united states because it has chosen the eventual winner in the last five elections. to middle east now because fighting in the city of aleppo, syria, is instensifying. the u.s. says as many as 10,000 syrian led ground troops are gathering around aleppo, preparing for a major assault against rebels who are holding part of the city, part of aleppo. and the real tragedy is cost lives with the number of
1:07 am
civilians caught in the middle of all of the fighting. this video i want to show really shows the humanitarian toll. this is a heartbreaking video of a man being rescued from the rubble after an attack. reports say that at least 12 people died on friday after warplanes targeted a residential neighborhood. nick paton walsh has a closer look at the city on the brink of collapse. >> reporter: the possibility of as many as 10,000 syrian-led fighters or troops near the rebel-held part of eastern aleppo. that is one -- one of potentially dark days ahead. already under an effective form of siege that's lapsed at time now is depriving them of food but now water, as well. 300,000 by some suggestions civilians trapped in the area. they've faced bombardment for years, but nothing like what they've seen in the past weeks or days.
1:08 am
the u.n. suggesting that 96 children have been killed by that bombardment in just the last week. 223 injured. hard to fathom numbers like that. they come at you so often during the civil war. perhaps easier to understand what one aid worker said, my nerves are fraught. he's seen three bombs land near him, body parts everywhere, and how the people had no hope of everyone to come to their assistance apart from god. that's the desperation we're seeing. those clashes in that area suggesting an offensive that may be launched by troops in the forthcoming days or weeks, in the central area where we also heard this day that a barrel bomb landed, killing seven people there, as well, including children. a dark episode, indeed. that area of aleppo has held out for years against regime forces, and now it faces perhaps more strategic and significant collapse. that of u.s. policy at this
1:09 am
time. john kerry, the u.s. secretary of state, has been so key that he believes a diplomatic solution working alongside his russian counterpart sergei lavrov may stem thevance. john kerry himself said frankly it's his only choice. it's clear that the white house doesn't want to put military resources into a conflict that could see them clash openly against russian resources on the ground there. but the question now is, what really has moscow been planning for the past couple of weeks. the volume of resources now potentially available for this assault against aleppo, if it does happen. there are many suggestions it may be underway, would take weeks to get interest play. and those same weeks should have been spent, have been spent by moscow and damascus talking potentially diplomacy and peace with its washington counterparts. that's fallen apart now. we're seeing one of the darkest episodes of violence that have hit syria in this already nightmarish civil war. the u.s. talking about sanctions
1:10 am
maybe against russia, the possibility of better armaments being supplied by syrian rebels, by their gulf allies that might target russian and syrian aircraft. a lot of talk here at this point. the u.s. is not going to commit ground troops here or potentially stop what many are already considering a war crime, the targeting of hospitals there, as well. yes, this can be documented, this can be observed. it is unlikely there will be an effective military response to stop it certainly from outsiders. this looming now potentially one of the darkest moments we've seen yet in syria's civil war. nick paton walsh, cnn, beirut. >> you heard nick paton walsh saying this is potentially one of the darkest moments in syria's civil war so far. the u.n. says it's going to carry out an independent investigation into how its humanitarian relief trucks were actually attacked. we only have a few details about what happened. basically the convoy was near aleppo and preparing to deliver aid to people who desperately
1:11 am
needed food, medicine, blankets, and instead those supplies were completely destroyed, and at least 18 people were killed including the head of syrian arab red crescent in the area. the blame game continues with the u.s. pointing the finger at russian warplanes. moscow has been repeatedly denying it. a major hurricane appears to be headed for jamaica. hurricane matthew has gained strength quickly. it's been upgraded from a tropical storm to a category five hurricane. category five hurricanes are pretty rare. the u.s. national weather service says it's the strongest hurricane in the atlantic since 2007. it has sustained winds of up to 260 kilometers per hour. for our american friends, that's 160 miles per hour. it's not just jamaica in its path, it could threaten other islands. cuba, for example, haiti, and the bahamas. let's get the latest on the storm track. meteorologist derek van dam is
1:12 am
joining us. one thing that i found interesting about the storm is how quickly it was upgraded. one minute it was a tropical storm. the next minute, it was a hurricane five which is very serious. >> only two storms in the atlantic basin have actually intensified quicker than what matthew -- hurricane matthew has done so far. it intensified and strengthened 80 miles per hour in 24 hours. that is unbelievable -- >> dread. >> unfortunately, it's claimed its first victim. this coming out of colombia. you'll see what they are dealing with in south america of all places. the storm is so far reaching that we're starting to see the outer rain bands impact venezuela and colombia, and unfortunately a man was lost in a flooded river and stream. you see some of the individuals trying to board up and save their homes from the strong winds. they're not even getting the
1:13 am
brunt of the storm which is about 100 miles to the north of the region in northern colombia. look at the satellite. current sustained winds, 160 mile-per-ho miles per hour, gusts of 190 miles per hour. we have a defined eye wall at the moment. there's the latest watches and warnings. tropical storm warnings for northern colombia. we have hurricane warnings for all of jamaica. tropical storm watches for western haiti. we've summarized some of the most incredible, astounding stats just to summarize what is happening with matthew. this is ending a near nine-year drought of category five hurricanes in the atlantic basin. this is unprecedented. an extremely long time since we had this large and strong of a storm. this is the lowest latitude
1:14 am
storm that a category five has developed on record. as i mentioned to zain earlier, only two atlantic storms have intensified quicker than this storm. that gives you perspective. have you wondered what the inside of the eye wall looks like of a hurricane? there it is. from the national hurricane center, that is noaa's hurricane hunters that go into the eye of the storm to fetch crucial data. final preparations for a landfalling category five or strong category-four hurricane should be done or wrapping up in jamaica. that storm will impact the region by monday night into early tuesday morning. where it goes from there, that is anyone's guess. we have a lot of computer models that we're monitoring. we know that cuba will be impacted. the bahamas. but look as we go forward. you see the east coast of the united states, that is going to have to pay close attention to this because it has the potential to impact the
1:15 am
carolinas, perhaps into cape hatteras. perhaps into the new england coast. time will tell. >> we shall see. >> we shall see. >> florida is potentially in the path? >> florida is in the cone of uncertainty. they need to keep their guard up. but it is looking more and more likely that it will stay east of florida. >> okay. right now, jamaica is really the main concern. thank you very much. appreciate that. the controversial president of the philippines, duterte, has compared himself to adolph hitler. hear him after the break. forever, do you?"t to rl "credit karma huh?" "yeah, it's free." "credit karma. give youself some credit."
1:19 am
welcome back, everybody. there are rises tensions now between pakistan and india. both countries are blaming each other for the recent clashes in the disputed region of kashmir. both countries have laid claim to kashmir for several decades. they've even gone to war over it, and it's been a major source of contention for nearly 70 years. in fact, an indian official says there are two separate shootings between troops on saturday, and no one was killed. india has evacuated more than 10,000 from border villages. pope francis has wrapped up an outdoor mass in georgia a
1:20 am
short time ago. he led a service with about 3,000 people at a football stadium. a fairly small crowd, in fact, by pope francis' standards. vatican correspondent delia gallagher is following the pope on his travels and explains the reason for the fairly small turnout. >> reporter: this is a primarily orthodox christian country. and there's only about 110,000 catholics total. so this is one of the smaller masses i've been to. this is a country which pope francis wanted to visit for a couple of reasons. one because we know he's the pope of the periphery. he likes to go out even where there are small catholic communities and maybe especially where there's small catholic majorities to give them support. but also to meet with the orthodox christians. the orthodox christians have been in a schism with the catholic church for centuries. it's something the vatican and popes even before pope francis
1:21 am
have always tried to heal. part of the way they do that is by visiting the countries. and the pope yesterday met with the orthodox patriarch of georgia. the other reason pope francis comes here is because georgia is a country also dealing with military conflict over two disputed territories with russia. the pope's message here in georgia is one of peace. >> you heard delia say that his message in georgia is one of peace. in terms of the small crowds, pope francis might actually have a similar experience when he visits azerbaijan on sunday because it is a predominantly muslim country with only a few hundred catholics. the controversial president of the philippines, rodrigo duterte, has campaigned himself to adolph hitler. seriously, to adolph hitler. jewish groups are demanding an apology. our senior international correspondent, ivan watson, has
1:22 am
more. >> reporter: in his first few months in office, the president of the philippines has been no stranger to controversy. his latest comments may be his most inflammatory yet. the tough-talking rodrigo duterte is comparing himself to adolph hitler. duterte suggested he'd like to kill millions of drug addicts just as hitler massacred six million jews during the holocaust. >> hitler massacred three million jews. there is three million drug aaddicts, there are. i'd be happy to slaughter them. at least if germany had hitler, the philippines would have -- you know, my victims, i would like to be all criminals to finish the problem of my country and save the next generation
1:23 am
from partition. >> reporter: his anti-drug crackdown has been brutal and bloody. since he took office in june, police say they have killed more than 1,000 suspects, all purportedly in self-defense. there's also been a surge of vigilante murders with killers leaving dozens of victims dead on the streets next to signs accusing them of being drug pushers. this is being called cardboard justice. in his first months in office, duterte has cursed barack obama and made controversial remarks about the u.s. ambassador to the philippines, and he also announced an end to future joint military exercises. that's raising questions about the future of the long-standing alliance between the u.s. and the philippines. >> that was our ivan watson reporting for us. israel has offered its final good-byes to its former leader, shimon peres. dozens joined his family for his funeral friday in jerusalem.
1:24 am
peres died wednesday morning at the age of 93. he led israel as both prime minister and president, spending much of his life working toward peace. here's nic robertson with more. ♪ >> reporter: a somber, solemn farewell. the last of israel's founding fathers laid to rest. eulogies to his life. >> he started off as israel's brightest student, became its best teacher, and ended up its biggest dreamer. >> reporter: president obama reminding all peres' biggest dream never fulfilled. >> we won them all, he said of israel's wars. we did not win the greatest victory that we aspired to -- release from the need to win victories. >> reporter: among the dozens of international dignitaries,
1:25 am
president, prime ministers past and present. notable in their absence, arab leaders. reflecting perhaps peres' more hawkish roots, decades ago, supporting israeli settlers. regardless, palestinian authority president abbas came. his first visit to jerusalem since 2010. the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, shaking his hand. from obama, the palestinian leader getting a very warm greeting, handshake and a hug. stark contrast to the frosty body language between the u.s. president and netanyahu. so much apparent symbolism this day, britain's prince charles sporting a black and white checked silk handkerchief in his breast pocket, to the world resembling a palestinian calf ir. despite the appearance of international discomfort with the lack of peace process here,
1:26 am
clear cajoling of today's crowd. >> so now this work is in the hand of israel's next generation. >> reporter: clinton pointedly spelling out how peres found his path to peace. how today's leaders might do the same. >> it's easy to say things like this at a memorial service. it's hard to do. first he had to master his own dome demons. forgive himself for his own mistakes, and get over his own disappointments. >> reporter: words of hope for a family in grief, for a nation at a crossroads. nic robertson, cnn, jerusalem. and there was a lighthearted moment i want to show that took place after the funeral. president obama was ready to go, but one air force passenger who was traveling with him, bill clinton, was not.
1:27 am
so mr. obama hurried him along. take a look at this. >> let's go! let's go! >> that is literally president obama getting off the plane to hurry former president bill clinton on to the plane. so clinton, climbing up the stairs, was greeting people at the airport to see him off. and clinton is the, of course, known for being somewhat of a people person. he eventually went up the stairs, though, and the two hugged it out and boarded the plane. president obama being hands on there. donald trump goes on the attack against a former miss universe, but it's not clear if any of the fallout will hurt him or his closest advisers.
1:31 am
welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom." i'm zain asher. let's get you caught up on headlines at this hour. a nasty storm is headed to the caribbean as i speak. hurricane matthew has been upgraded to a category-five hurricane. the u.s. national hurricane center says it has sustained winds of up to 260 kilometers per hour which is roughly 160 miles per hour. right now it threatens jamaica, cuba, haiti, and the bahamas. in aleppo, syria, we're learning the fighting is likely to escalate even further. the u.s. estimates 10,000 syrian troops are getting ready for a new assault against rebels who are holding the city. this comes as some 270,000 people remain trapped in aleppo
1:32 am
with dwindling supplies. and plenty president duterte is facing international condemnation once again because on friday he appeared to have likened himself to adolph hitler. mr. duterte says he would be happy to slaughter millions of drug addicts in his country just like hitler killed millions of jews. we turn to the race for the white house. hillary clinton says that trump's most recent twitter rant at 3:00 in the morning proves that he's unfit to be president. she's been hitting battleground states telling the crowds that trump's behavior is quite simply not presidential. here's our briana keilar with more. >> reporter: hillary clinton taupting donald trump after -- taunting donald trump after he went on an early morning tirade against former miss universe
1:33 am
alicia machado. >> who gets up at 3:00 in the morning to engage in a twitter attack against a former miss universe? why does he do things like that? [ cheers ] i mean, his latest twitter meltdown is unhinged even for him. >> reporter: clinton is campaigning today in florida, home to 29 electoral votes. >> there have 39 days between now and november 8th. just 39 days left in the most important election in our lifetimes. [ applause ] we have to make every single day count. >> reporter: the race there has been tight, but clinton's debate performance is giving her a bump in polls. she's leading trump in florida by four points, largely due to her advantage in the decisive i-4 corridor, the counties between tampa to north of orlando. clinton is also ahead by seven
1:34 am
points in both michigan and new hampshire. in nevada, she's up six. clinton hopes the next debate in a little over a week will be a one-two punch, even as donald trump and his surrogates bring up bill clinton's infidelities. >> it's fair game to think about how hillary clinton treated those women after the fact. >> reporter: clinton is not responding. >> no. he can say whatever he wants to say, as we well know. >> reporter: she's still focusing on this -- >> i alone can fix it. >> reporter: run of trump's key convention themes. >> i alone can fix it. [ boos ] i alone? we've learned that that's his way. one person getting supreme power and exercising it ruthlessly. that's why he admires dictators like vladimir putin so much. [ applause ] >> reporter: looking at the new polls coming out of battleground states, hillary clinton is hoping to build on this bump
1:35 am
with some help from the star power of her surrogates. bernie sanders, we know, is going to be in michigan soon campaigning for hillary clinton. he was just in new hampshire with her this last week. and elizabeth warren is heading to nevada next week. briana keilar, cnn, washington. . ju just when you thought the u.s. presidential campaign couldn't get any more predictable, it did. nothing shocks me anymore. less than 24 hours after trump's twitter raid against a former miss universe, buzzfeed found this clip from a "playboy" adult video made 16 years ago. and if you look closely, you see trump here briefly welcoming "playboy" playmates to new york. he pours a bottle of champagne on a "playboy" limo. cnn has asked for comment from the trump campaign. a clinton campaign spokesperson told reporters, "there's been a lot of talk about sex tapes today, and in a strange turn of events, only one adult film has
1:36 am
emerged. its star is donald j. trump." trump backer and former speaker of the house newt gingrich has advice for the white house hopeful. he says when it comes to twitter, quite simply, just say no. >> i think what trump's got to understand, he's either got to sing "it's gota be me" or sing a new song, "i gotta be president." they're not the same song. he's got to become much more disciplined. for a while, i thought he turned a corner. this last week i think has been, frankly, a lost week, a week which has hurt him, which has shaken his own supporters. and you can't tweet 359:in the morning. >> nobody knows if the fallout from trump's twitter attack is going to hurt him eventually, beginning of november. people are using this incident to take another look at what he said about women in the past. and kyung lah reports trump is not the only one in the spotlight.
1:37 am
i do cherish women. i love women! >> reporter: trump's critics question if that is really true. it's not only trump who is facing scrutiny. some of his closest advisers are, as well. >> we need to have a fight in the republican party for the soul of the conservative group -- >> i agree with you. >> reporter: campaign ceo steve bannon, in 1996, he faced misdemeanor domestic violence charges. his ex-wife in the santa monica, california, police report alleging he grabbed her. an incident that the officer said left red marks on her left wrist and right side of her neck. the charges were dropped. this is a fox news alert -- >> reporter: the man behind fox news, roger ailes, is an unofficial trump whisperer, though trump won't officially acknowledge his role. multiple women accused ailes of sexual harassment, most prominently anchor gretchen carlson who received a $20

million settlement from fox. >> you're not supposed to gain 0 pounds during the year that you are miss universe. >> reporter: that's former house speaker newt gingrich defending comments about alicia machado's weight gain after she won the crown. gingrich is now a trump adviser. he and trump have both been married three times, both accused of infidelity. in 2012, gingrich's second wife recalled this about her former husband to abc news -- >> he was asking to have an open marriage. and i refused. >> reporter: then there's rudy giuliani. former new york mayor and trump backer. after monday's debate, giuliani spoke to reporters bringing up bill clinton's affair, criticizing not just him but hillary clinton. >> she attacked monica lewinsky. after being married to bill clinton for 20 years, if you didn't know the moment monica lewinsky said that bill clinton violated her that she was telling the truth, you're too stupid to be president. >> reporter: giuliani should be able to refer to marital strife. married three times, he announced his separation to a

second wife at a press conference before telling her. his divorce and affair playing out publicly on new york tabloid front pages. trump's closest advisers are not all male. his campaign manager is a woman. kellyanne conway. and another person who has his ear is also a woman, his daughter, ivanka. kyung lah, cnn, los angeles. we want to turn to other stories that we're following. on thursday we told you about a deadly train crash in new jersey. now we're learning that investigators have recovered a potentially key piece of evidence from that crash. it is one of two event recorders which are similar to black boxes on trains -- planes. cams it came from the locomotive in the back of the train and could tell us how fast the train was traveling. one person was killed, and over 100 others injured when the train slammed into the hoboken terminal on thursday. witnesses say the train did not slow down before the crash.
1:40 am
protesters gathered in el cajon, california, friday night after police released video of the fatal shooting of an unarmed black man. want to warn you that the footage that is coming up is graphic. police shot and killed alfred alango thursday when he pointed an ecigarette at them. the incident was captured on cell phones and surveillance video, as well. if you look closely at the video, he can be seen standing against the white truck on the right side of the screen. one officer approaches head on, and another then comes into frame from the right. the police chief says that orlango rapidly drew an object as officers approached. he points it at the officers. one of whom shoots him four times. four times. both officers are on administrative leave. an iraqi housewife has been fighting isis and for years before that al qaeda. she said she's lost loved ones
1:41 am
in the fighting and head sworn revenge on the terrorists. some of the images in this report are graphic. >> reporter: rahadem counts all the times her house has been blown up. 2006, 2009, 2007, three cars in 2013 and 2014, she says. describing herself as a housewife, she took up arms and leads men into battle against isis and al qaeda before that. six times, they tried to assassinate me, she says. i have shrapnel in my head, my legs. my ribs were broken. all that didn't stop me from fighting. her first and second husbands were killed in action. and isis killed her father and
1:42 am
three brothers. this justifies, she says, the following -- "i fought them," she tells me," i beheaded them. i cooked their heads. i burned their bodies." grisly photos from her facebook page bear out her words. her men show me the machete they say she used. this general heads combat operations in the province. this is his explanation -- "she lost her brothers and husbands as martyrs, so out of revenge, she formed her own force." last week, she and her men took part in the battle to drive isis out of her native home. all isis left behind was booby traps and a few dead bodies. many of the residents stayed put or joined the fighting.
1:43 am
these boys recount the travails of life under isis. "there was no food, no school, nothing," says one. "they ruined us." "if we lose iraq again," she says, "we'll lose it forever." in ways both tangible and intangible, this ravaged land has already lost itself. ben wedeman, cnn, northern iraq. got to squeeze in a quick break on "cnn newsroom." when we come back, germany's biggest bank is taking investors on a wild ride. next, how deutsche bank's ceo is trying to calm fears while facing billions in fines. plus, van gogh and the mob. how two stolen paintings were recovered 14 years after the heist.
1:47 am
welcome back. the state of illinois is pulling billions of dollars from wells fargo bank over its fake account scandal. just like california did on wednesday. the state treasurer is expected to announce details on monday. wells fargo employees opened millions of unauthorized bank accounts to boost sales. the company is also dealing with suspicions that it retaliated against whistle blowers, underpaid employees, and mistreated active military members, as well. and deutsche bank investors might be breathing a small sigh of relief. shares plummeted but rebounded after the ceo said that worries over the bank's financial health were overstate. he says market forces are trying to weaken the bank. cnn "money's" claire sebastian
1:48 am
has more. >> reporter: wells fargo's ceo says that market forces weakened them, but these aren't the only forces at play. low interest rates due to a continually sluggish economy in europe, that is eating into the profits the bank can make on its loans. secondly, tighter regulations. there's been new rules on investment banking since 2008. and that's the biggest part of deutsche bank's business. that has also eaten into its profits. and legal punishments. we're not just talking about the latest penalty from the justice department for selling mortgage-backed securities, deutsche bank has spent years paying for sins of its past from rigging to violating u.s. sanctions. you can't just blame outside forces. a key issue is capital. all banks have had to increase their capital buffer since the financial crisis. many believe deutsche bank has been too slow. it's been setting off parts of the business. the worry is all of the other forces out there will not be enough to counteract that. and let's move on.
1:49 am
this matters for one key reason. deutsche bank is huge. has $2 trillion in assets. that's well over half the size of the german economy. it's not just about the size of the bank. deutsche bank is one of the most interconnected banks in the world. as this diagram shows from the imf, it has dealings with pretty much all of the world's biggest banks. mainly through billions in derivative contracts. if the bank fails, all of these other banks could lose out. the bottom line for many, it's too big and too interconnected to fail. claire sebastian, cnn money, new york. one of the biggest art crimes in recent years has now been solved. police now have their hands on two stolen paintings by vincent van gogh. crooks nabbed them from the van gogh museum in amsterdam back in 2002 in a hugely publicized heist back then. officials found the paintings while raiding a group linked to
1:50 am
