2:00 am
one of the biggest mefrjers in history, at&t agrees to buy time warner. a record deal. details on what that deal could mean. u.s. secretary of defense, ash carter has just arrived in iraq as peshmerga fighters get one step closer to liberating mosul from isis. that's right. they finally did it. the chicago cubs headed to the world series for the first time since 1945. from cnn, world headquarters in atlanta, for our viewers here in
2:01 am
the united states and around the world. i'm george howell. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. 5:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. a massive media merger is one step closer to becoming reality. the wireless provider at&t has reached a deal to buy time warner, also the parent company of cnn. next up to government regulators to sign off on that $85 billion merger. if approved, at&t would control entertainment leaders like hbo and warner brothers pictures. our senior media correspondent brian stelter has more. >> this is shaping up to be one of the biggest media deals in history. also the biggest merger of any kind in the u.s. at&t, as it stands today, is a wireless company, one of the biggest wireless companies in the united states, providing phone and internet service to tens of millions of homes.
2:02 am
it's also a satellite tv distribut distributor. it has the directv satellite network. what at&t doesn't have is content, programming, entertainment and that's what it's trying to gain through time warner. you think about what it has, cnn, this channel and a number of other valuable entertainment assets, like hbo, the warner brothers movie studio and cable channels like tnt and tbs and the cartoon network. at&t is buying all of those up at a cost of $85 billion. that's almost three times as large as the comcast/nbc merger about five years ago. in that case, government regulators spent more than a year reviewing the deal because comcast, the big cable provider reaches tens of millions of homes and owned valuable cable channels. ultimately, that was approved with conditions by regulators in washington. the experts i've spoken with expect a similar outcome here. this deal will take over a year to be reviewed in washington and
2:03 am
will eventually be approved with conditions. in the meantime, time warner ceo jeff buick as will remain in charge. he spoke with him briefly. he said this is positive for customers, it's about making sure they can receive content, news and entertainment in a variety of new ways. the reality is that's how the media world is changing whether or not this deal happens. you can see it every day in the way you and i interact with media. you may be watching in on a cell phone or texting or e-mailing while it's happening. the future of media is mobile centric. that's what this deal recognizes and represents. it's not just owning the cellular data networks, it's important to own the programming as well. it's seeking more influence, more power over the future of media. back to you. >> brian stelter, thank you. the time warner deal, time warner hoping that this deal is not a repeat of its failed aol merger more than 15 years ago. that's considered one of the
2:04 am
worst mergers of all-time. the u.s. republican presidential candidate donald trump had this to say about the at&t/time warner possible deal. >> as an example of the power structure i'm fighting, at&t is buying time warner and thus cnn, a deal we will not approve in my administration because it's too much concentration of power in the hands of two -- additionally, comcast's purchase of nbc concentrates far too much power in one massive entity that is trying to tell the voters what to think and what to do. deals like this destroy democracy. and we'll look at breaking that deal up and other deals like that. >> trump's opponent hillary clinton has not yet publicly reacted to this deal. we'll have more, of course, on the presidential candidates an the race for the white house a
2:05 am
little later this hour. now to the fight against isis peshmerga forces are launching a new oaf offensive to the northeast of mosul, iraq. the kurdish general commander says it is part of the campaign to clear isis from the province. in the meantime, the governor of kirkuk says 60 isis fighters have been killed since friday after the terror group raided that city. he said the situation there is now stable. the u.s. defense secretary, ash carter, arrived erbil. >> i'm encouraged by what i see so far. it is proceeding according to our plan. we've got tough fighting ahead
2:06 am
and the u.s. will continue to play its part. >> let's get the latest live from iraq. cnn's michael holmes is on the ground following developments near mosul. michael, it is good to have you with us this hour. let's start with the very latest from the frontlines. what more can you tell us about the peshmerga push into mosul? >> reporter: there have been movement on a number of fronts around mosul. to the southeast, the predominantly christian town, there's an offensive under way there. to the north of mosul, a town that's being attacked by peshmerga fighters as well. that's only ten kilometers outside of mosul. that would be the closest that any forces have gotten to that city. we're not far from a town that has been subject of an assault that began in the early hours of this morning, around 6:30 a.m. local peshmerga forces moving in
2:07 am
on multiple fronts to try to take that town. we were watching it being pounded by artillery and rocket fire and air strikes as well. a couple of huge bombs landing on that town. sort of softening up. this is all part of trying to encircle mosul. that's been the plan all along. eventually into the city itself. which still could be some time away, george. >> when we talk about strangling that city and entering mosul but also entering the smaller towns surrounding it, there is still a great deal of danger on the ground, danger with booby traps left behind. you spent some time on the ground seeing that firsthand. >> reporter: yes. a major, major problem. when isis leaves and they're forced out, they tend to leave behind dangerous munitions and they rig them to kill people, kill soldiers for civilians.
2:08 am
we spent time with a group of incredibly brave peshmerga men who have precious little equipment to do the job, but they're trying to diffuse the devices every day. >> peshmerga captain comes face to face with death every day. here showing us the fruits of his labor. he says he has removed hundreds and thousands of ieds like these. i do it for humanity, he tells us. >> the people who plant these things are dangerous for my people, for the world. it's my decision to help save a life. as kurdish and iraqi forces get ever closer to mosul, isis has been leaving behind the weapons to kill and maim even once they've gone. brigadier general masseur i heads the special forces. he said he loses more fighters to i.e.d.s than on the battle feed.
2:09 am
30% of the casualties, men working to diffuse and remove the explosives. we liberate a village and they're everywhere he says. people come back to their homes and open up and it blows up. the mining teams have rudimentary equipment, a metal detector if they're lucky. the operator of this one lost fingers to a booby trap. usually the tools are -- their faces are inches from the explosives. no body armor. we need training but it's not enough he tells us. we need more equipment, new equipment to find the ieds and destroy them. >> he was killed by -- >> the captain has lost many friends who do the same job as he. shows us a photo of one who died a few days ago trying to diffuse one of a wide variety of devices. >> this is just an example of one of the devices, if you like.
2:10 am
this is c-4. high explosive. it's full of ball bearings. before he was able to detonate it, you can imagine the explosion and the damage that would have been done if it was going off. >> the captain diffused that bomb himself as well as countless booby traps. here a pressure device that's set off by a vehicle driving over it. it's the danger from booby traps that means the civilians can't go home to their villages yet. each now that isis is gone. all they can do is collect a few things and leave again. >> one man tells me we can't live there, no water, no electricity, damage everywhere and explosives as well. so the captain and his men will continue their mission to make those villages safe for pop like him to return to.
2:11 am
>> reporter: so how many of these devices are along the roads and in the villages around northern iraq? the answer, george, is countless. they just don't know. we spoke to a peshmerga commander who said his man had been clearing one village for the last three months and still weren't done. one thing that's certain, the clearing of the roads and the clearing of the towns and villages of the murderous devices is going to take a lot longer than the campaign for mosul. >> certainly a great deal of danger on the ground. what i tell you, we appreciates your reporting, please know that we mean it. to you and ben wedeman and correspondents on the ground bringing us the news from a very dangerous part of the world as the events continue. thank you for the reporting. s.w.a.t. teams in haiti are on the hunt for inmates roaming free after breaking out of prison. haiti national police tell cnn that the prisoners escaped after starting a riot.
2:12 am
one guard was killed. about a dozen inmates had been found and captured. authorities are urging people in the area to be cautious and to cooperate with police. a former guantanamo bay inmate who has been on a hunger strike to demand relocation is leaving you are guy. the syrian man who received an offer to go to another country. it's not clear which country, though, is taking him. he has been on a hunger strike for 68 days demanding uruguay allow him to leave to be closer to his wife and children. he's now suspending his hunger strike and will start eating under a doctor's supervision. this is "cnn newsroom" and still ahead, donald trump lays out his plans for his presidency if he wins in november. he's calling for the healing of a divided nation. but he's also promising to sue all the women who accused him of sexual misconduct. plus, that's right.

2:16 am
first 100 days in office if he is elected as president of the united states. the republican nominee held a rally in gettysburg, pennsylvania on saturday. it was the site of a famous address for abraham lincoln. he urged voters to follow president lincoln's example and heal visions within the united states. policy issues from immigration and reforming -- he also slammed democratic rival hillary clinton and threatened to sue every woman who has accused him of sexual misconduct. >> every woman when they came forward to hurt my campaign, total fabrication. it never happened, never. all of these liars will be sued after the election. >> hillary clinton was also rallying voters in pennsylvania on saturday.
2:17 am
the democratic presidential candidate made a number of campaign stops with her running mate tim kaine in that battleground state. she told reporters that she is done with responding to trump's accusations and is focused on winning over voters. even though clinton is going to focus on her own campaign and not trump's, she did speak out about his threat to sue the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct. cnn's brianna keilar has that story for us. >> hillary clinton picking up the pace of her campaign schedule with a packed weekend through battleground states. something we don't normally see. here in the all-important state of pennsylvania, 'emphasizing te keystone state, a state they know she's going to win and confident she's going to win. then tack on pennsylvania and they're on the precipice of 270 electoral votes, that all important number. hillary clinton also today
2:18 am
benefiting from donald trump's donald trump stepping on his own message as he tries to give his closing argument. that he plans to sue the women who accused him of kissing or groping them after the election. hillary clinton responding. >> today we're making our closing argument, we're talking about what's at stake in the election, we're drawing contrast. but we're giving people something to vote for, not just against. and i saw where our opponent, donald trump, went to gettysburg, one of the most extraordinary places in american history and basically said, if he's president, he'll spend his time suing women who have made charges against him based on his behavior. >> if hillary clinton blankets battleground states, she has some help this week from a task of high-profile surrogates. her husband, bill clinton, heading for the florida
2:19 am
panhandle tomorrow. chelsea clinton is going to be tuesday in wisconsin and vice president joe biden heading at the beginning of the week to ohio where polls have tightened up a little bit and hillary clinton is hoping to squeak out a win against donald trump. brianna keilar, cnn, pittsburgh. brianna, thank you. clinton is hoping for the first time since 1996, since the olympic games in georgia, that this state atlanta, georgia where cnn is located, a democrat will win. trump is shown leading clinton among likely voters. here's the report. >> what has been traditionally a red state may potentially change to purple in the 2016 election. there's a number of reasons why. one is that newly arrived residents are democratic voters. another reason has to do with the gop candidate, donald trump.
2:20 am
many of the republicans we've spoken to are having a hard time to get behind the candidate. you're about to meet one of them. >> it's friday at this man's household. the sun hasn't come up and they're already talking about their future. >> do you want to try this avocado. >> he and his wife moved from virginia to georgia about two years ago. this will be their first presidential election as state residents. it's people like them who are changing the historically red state purple. >> everybody is looking at him -- >> he's a conservative. he didn't vote for president barack obama in 2008 or in 2012. nor does he really support democratic candidate hillary clinton. but he says, he's voting for her anyway. >> if it wasn't for the candidate running now, i probably would have voted for that other candidate rather than clinton. >> more than likely. >> what is it about her that's hard for you to totally accept? >> the e-mails, the benghazi stuff. being a military guy, the
2:21 am
e-mail, the security and all that, this is like just direct breaches and direct violations what the simple things they teach you in the military as an enlisted guy. >> it's good. >> they're a house divided. while husband usually votes republican and realize on his christian values, he can't bear to vote for trump, especially after what he said about latinos. his wife key shah has always voted democrat. her vote is guided by what she wants the future to look like for her 5-year-old son, solomon. >> i'm very concerned about him and the future. a minority, male that's something that's just always on my mind. >> solomon might not yet understand the importance of his parents or the effect their votes could have in georgia. but he knows this much. >> which color are you voting for? >> blue. >> the family says they're
2:22 am
complicated. she thinks she's the conservative in the family though she votes democratic and her husband traditionally votes along republican lines. one thing that's certain, there's nothing that donald trump can say at this point to change their minds about him. >> nick valencia reporting. let's bring in eugene scott live via skype. let's talk about what trump laid out for the first 100 days. he talked about term limits and renegotiating nafta. he also took the opportunity and made the point to say that he would sue the women who have accused him of sexual misconduct. the optics there. >> the optics there were problematic for many of the women who have come out against trump some of them taking to twitter saying they hope other women with negative experiences with the presidential candidate are not deterred from sharing their story by this situation. if there's any consolation to
2:23 am
these women, donald trump has a history of threatening lawsuits that he doesn't follow-up on. most recently against "the new york times." this does not make coming out easier which is what many of the supporters say. >> in that important policy speech, again, that happened at gettysbu gettysburg, very significant site in the united states. trump also leaned into this argument that somehow the system is rigged against him. the democrats are reading that argument a different way. i'd like to play two sound bites here. we'll listen and talk about them on the other side. first from donald trump, then from tim kaine. let's listen. >> the system is rigged. you know it, i know it. the politicians know it. the media people know it. they all know it. >> you know, he's losing and he knows it. he's not a guy who would ever accept responsibility and say, i lost an election because i ran the most divisive campaign in american history.
2:24 am
he's not going to accept responsibility. so it's got to be somebody else's fault, just like when the apprentice didn't win an emmy award one year. he said it was clearly rigged. this guy can't take responsibility for anything. >> so what is the trump strategy there? is it the idea of energizing his base to get as many voters together, just energized and ready to go vote on november 8th, or is donald trump setting up the possibility that he could lose this election? >> well, it's a little bit of both. many donald trump supporters, especially some of those who were there from day one, latched on to his campaign because of a belief that a larger system left them out and there was no support for them. so the idea that something bigger has been rigged is not really a new concept with the donald trump campaign. it's just one he's talking about a lot more. part that of is because he is not a politician. he doesn't have a governor's mansion or the u.s. senate to
2:25 am
return to after all of this ends in the event that he loses. what he has been banking on is building a movement that will continue to pick at the political establishment with the hopes of creating change. >> as for his rival, the democrat hillary clinton, there's been no new information on the hacked e-mails that have been so problematic for clinton. but it seems that the trump campaign continues to take the headlines obviously with this 100-day speech. let's talk about how it's playing out on the map right now. if we could take a look at the snapshot of where things stand at this moment. you see these states that are in yellow for our viewers around the world and quite frankly, those states that are yellow, they could be purpose am. what's happening there is that the states are very close. a lot closer than republicans would expect or states that typically stay in the red column. eugene, the question to you, what is the trump campaign doing to keep those states red and how is the clinton campaign trying
2:26 am
to seize on that and turn them blue? >> part of the -- from day one, to sign up first-time voters. people historically disengaged from the political process with the hopes that they would vote and vote for donald trump. many of those people are in those red states. i have reported from those red states. particularly, two of them, charlotte and phoenix are cities in those states that are not as red as the rest of the state. hillary clinton is banking on turnout in the more urban areas to take her across the victory line. >> eugene scott live for us in washington. we appreciate the insight today. thank you. got to talk about the chicago cubs. they're headed to the world series. they beat the los angeles dodgers to win the national league pennant on saturday night. the cubs will face the american league champions, the cleveland indians. game one is tuesday night in cleveland. cub fans were out on the streets
2:27 am
in chicago celebrating in full style. they have not been in the world series since 1945. the last time they won it was 1908. still ahead here on newsroom, after almost five years, somali pirates have freed more than 2 dozen men they took hostage. we'll continue to follow that story for us. live from atlanta and across the united states and around the world this hour, you're watching "cnn newsroom."
2:28 am
2:29 am
2:30 am
welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom." good to have you with us. i'm george howell with the
2:31 am
headlines we're following this hour. giving a major policy speech at gettysburg, pennsylvania, donald trump also made a point to vow that he plans to sue every woman who accused him of sexual misconduct. the republican presidential nominee made that remark at that speech that he's calling the women, all of them, liars. an 11th woman came forward saturday accusing mr. trump of kissing and hugging her in 2006 without permission. at&t agreed to buy time warner, the parent company of cnn. the mefrjer would help the wireless provider to expand. government regulators are working to approve that deal. it would turn at&t into a massive media powerhouse. in haiti, authorities are on the hunt for nearly 200 inmates who broke out of prison outside of port-au-prince. one guard was killed when an armed individual -- armed individuals led an up rising
2:32 am
before the prisoners escaped. a dozen inmates have been captured so far. in eastern aleppo, mortar fire brought an end to the brief pause in attacks on that besieged syrian city. a russian declared cease-fire ended saturday night. a group says it doesn't know who escaped aleppo during that three-day cease-fire. the battle to retake mosul, the u.s. defense secretary ash carter, is meeting with kurdish officials in erbil iraq. carter is encouraged by the process in making the fight against isis, peshmerga forces are launching a new offensive on yet another town to the northeast of mosul. in the meantime, the governor of kirkuk says 60 isis fighters have been killed since friday. after the terror launched an offensive on that city, he says that situation there now is
2:33 am
stable. millions of people fled their homes in iraq and syria when isis moved in and that includes thousands of christians who now live in neighboring jordan. here's the report for us. >> most of those gathered here at st. mary's church in east amman gave up everything for their faith when isis took over their city two years ago, christians were given two choices. leave or be killed. some ended up in neighboring jordan with only the clothes on their backs. they sing our father who art in heaven in the language of jesus christ. the father has dedicated the past two years to helping refugees. the church has provided families with shelter, food and support. the father says even if mosul's liberate. the refugees will not go back. >> the christians are very tired
2:34 am
to be prosecuted and -- persecuted and from place to place already. they've lost their hope to go back. >> since the u.s.-led invasion in 2003, the christian community once estimated at more than a million has forced most to flee. under isis' reign of terror, churches were vandalized and destroyed. the group boasted about it intends to wipe christianity from the land where it existed for centuries. >> but for me, as a priest, i don't have any -- i am not a fighter. because for the christian, for the believers, wherever they go, this is their holy land. >> two years ago we met this family who found sanctuary at st. mary's. this one room is all her family of five have to call home.
2:35 am
just mentioning iraq and the life she once had in mosul is still too painful for ann. >> translator: when we left, it was all over for us. when we left, we lost our homes, our memories. everything was gone. i don't think we'll ever go back. it's too hard. i don't want my children to live the same experience. we paid the price. i don't want to go back and in a few years the same thing will happen. it's constant in iraq. the family has been granted asylum and will be leaving soon to australia. but it's bittersweet feelings. their ten-month-old son was born a refugee. she doesn't believe he will ever see mosul. >> translator: we will always remind him of his country, she says. we will tell him how we were forced out and we never thought we would leave our land. they forced us out of mosul. ann prays every day for her
2:36 am
family and for the country she once called home. cnn, amman. thank you for that report. 26 men from asia are headed back to their families after spending almost five years as hostages. somali pirates released the men saturday. their fishing boat was hijacked in 2012 in the indian oceans. the group oceans beyond piracy says one of the men died during the attack and two others died while being held. the men are said to be malnourished but in reasonable condition. several thousand protesters took over the main highway in caracas, venezuela, saturday. they were angry that nicholas ma dura was stopped. they suspended the referendum after cases of fraud were found during the signature-gathering process. the opposition led national assembly will hold a special session on sunday. at least seven people have died in mudslides and heavy rain
2:37 am
in honduras. cnn's meteorologist derek van dam is at the world weather center with the latest. derek? >> george, relentless rainfall and dangerous conditions lead to the scenes that you see behind me here. you can see the search and rescue operations by some of the community members in this small village outside, about 150 kilometers outside of the capital of honduras. unfortunately, seven people died within this landslide and there are still three people missing. father and his two children. terrible tragedy to say the least. talking about the weather scenario that has led up to this tragedy is just the incessant rain that continues to batter central america. you can see a general flow continues to bring precipitation on shore across this area. remember, mountainous terrain, you get the heavy rainfall, eventually that soaks into the soil. gravity eventually wins. we get the subsequent landslides
2:38 am
and mudslides. there is additional threat for mudslides going forward. on some of the computer models, some of the predicted rainfall totals, from 50 to 150 millimeters of rain the next two days. that could spell disaster for an area already hit hard by these mudslides recently. i want to switch gears quickly and talk about something in the united states that may put a smile on your face if you're a skier or snowboarder. in new england, an area of low pressure is bringing significantly colder weather. in fact, the coldest we've experienced across the northeast in six months. what's that? on the radar behind me, that shaded in white? that's right. snowflakes in vermont and new hampshire. killington and brighton getting in on the action. further to the south, you can see boston still in the liquid variety in terms of their precipitation. nonetheless, it's cooled down significantly for you. there's a snowfall totals going
2:39 am
forward through the rest of the day today. up to a half foot of snow in the higher elevations maybe. unfortunately, it's not going to be enough to end the long-standing drought taking place across the northeast at the moment. that continues across the southeast and the well-advertised drought that continues across the western united states. what's interesting to note is the effect it's having on pumpkins. did you know that it takes one inch per week to actually grow some of the larger pumpkins. you can imagine how much water that requires. farmers are having to shell out more money just to keep up with the drought and just so they can keep up with the pumpkins and the demand that's out there as we head about a week before, well, what is it, halloween, george, right? >> that is a scary story for halloween. for the trick-or-treaters there. we talked the other day about the fact that, you talk about the snow in the northeast but then in the southwest and parts of the south through the atlanta area, where it will be warmer
2:40 am
during the winter, right? >> that's right. we're going into ayala nina weather pattern. the sharp divide between the warmer temperatures in the south and the cooler weather across the upper midwest. it looks like it will stand true. it's coming. >> you and i like to ski. we're going to have to head to the northeast. >> farther and farther northeast. >> derek van dam, thank you so much. >> you're welcome. another woman has accused donald trump of sexual misconduct. we'll hear from her, next. plus, how oscar winning actor leonardo dicaprio is hoping to make political waves with a new environmental documentary. stay with us. hashtag "stuffy nose." hashtag "no sleep." i got it. hashtag "mouthbreather." yep. we've got a mouthbreather. well, just put on a breathe right strip and ... pow! it instantly opens your nose up to 38% more than cold medicine alone.

2:44 am
an 11th woman has come forward accusing donald trump of sexual misconduct. jessica drake held a news conference with her attorney gloria allred on saturday and showed this picture you see here of herself with donald trump. she says mr. trump invited her to his hotel suite back in 2006 and she says he hugged and kissed her without her permission. >> i am not looking for monetary compensation. i do not need additional fame or the type of attention that this is sure to bring. i understand that i may be called a liar or an opportunist. but i will risk that in order to stand in solidarity with women who share similar accounts that span many, many years. >> in response, trump's campaign
2:45 am
released this statement that reads in quotes -- this story is totally false and ridiculous. the picture is one of thousands taken out of respect for people asking to have pictures taken with mr. trump. mr. trump does not know this person, does not remember this person and would have no interest in ever knowing her. as election day gets closer, trump and hillary clinton are trying to rally the hispanic vote in the united states. voters in arizona shared their views with the nominees with randi kaye. >> how many of you are voting forever donald trump? two. how many of you are voting for hillary clinton? three. >> in phoenix, this group of latino voters at arizona state university is split on who they want to be president. despite trump's hard line on immigration and comments about the latino community, some are supporting him because of his business background. >> why do you think he would create jobs for the latino --
2:46 am
