1:01 am
4:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. good day to you. in jim bob way, thousands of people are marching in the capital city, people calling for the resignation of president robert mugabe of this after an apparent military coup on wednesday. the military says it backs the anti-mugabe march as long as it's peaceful. on friday, the u.s. secretary said he was mon orring that situation and called it an opportunity for zimbabwe. take a listen. >> i know all of us are following very closely the events in zimbabwe. they're a concern to each of you and they're a concern to us, as well. we all should work together in
1:02 am
accordance with their constitution. zimbabwe has an opportunity to set itself on a new path, one that must include democratic elections and respect for human rights. ultimately, the people of zimbabwe must choose their government and our conversations today we have an opportunity to discuss concrete ways that we could help them through this transition. >> and the people of zimbabwe rallying in the streets. following the story in the nation's capital this hour. farai, first of all, this rally, described as a solidarity march, tell us more about the significance. what's happening? >> it is atmosphere in the air on this saturday morning. feels like history in the making. those crowds you see, they are made up of all kinds of people, white, yellow, black
1:03 am
zimbabweans. even though the march was officially called by the war veterans, the veterans of the war that used to support robert mugabe. everyone from children to mothers and grandmothers are all heading out there to try and show us -- >> we just like farai there, live following what we're seeing right now in zimbabwe. if we can show these images between to get a sense of what's happening on the streets again, people coming together, people told that they can rally, as long as it remains people, again, many coming together, supporting seeing this president step down. so, fwep, may be able to bring farai back later in the show, but again, that's what's happening in jim bob way and we'll continue to mop tore. the u.s. president donald trump has sus spndzed a controversial decision allowing american game
1:04 am
hunters to bring elephant parts back into the united states in zimbabwe from zambia. he tweeted put big game trophy decision on hold until such time as i review all conservation facts. under study for years. will update soon with secretary zinke. thank you. they found zimbabwe and zambia have met strict conservation standards. critics say it would increase poaching. now, on to allegations in the united states of sexual conduct against politicians. the white house brushing off my similarity between the u.s. president donald trump and sneer al franken. despite more than a dozen accusations against himself, mr.
1:05 am
trump has been mostly quiet, the president has, on numerous allegations against a member of his own party. alabama republican roy moore who is running to fill a vacant u.s. senate seat. we get more now from cnn's ryan nobles. >> the president decided to weigh in on the allegations against neither al franken less than 12 hours after they came to light. and it almost automatically opened the white house up to criticism on two fronts. first, the alabama senate race and the sexual impropriety allegations against the republican candidate, roy moore. and then there's the president's own accusations against himself, something that came on to light during the campaign. at least 12 different women accusing the president of different forms of sexual im propriorty. today, during the white house press briefing, sarah sanders says there's a big difference between accusations against the president and against the
1:06 am
president. >> senator franken has admitted wrongdoing and the president haven't. i think that's a big distinction. >> the american people had their say and donald trump won. as the to roy moore, this is something that the president has attempted to stay pretty far away from. he talked about it briefly during his trip to asia, said he didn't know enough about the topic and would look into it more once he got back to washington. but he has yet to talk to roy moore and the accusations. he has yet to say whether or not the white house, the president or even she believes accusers. she was pressed on that by sara murray today and this is how she responded. >> can you tell us whether the president believes these women making allegations against roy moore and would he try to intervene in this electoral process in alabama? >> the president certainly finds the allegations extremely troubling, as i stated yesterday, and he feels like it's up to the governor and the people in the state of alabama
1:07 am
to make a determination on whether or not they would delay that election or whether or not they support and vote for roy moore. >> and another important point raised there, sanders opening the door to the possibility that k kay ivy, the governor of alabama, could change the date of the special election involving roy moore. this is something we know, was raised as a possibility from mitch mcconnell and discussing possible options as the to how to deal with the alabama race. ivy has said in the past that she has no intention of moving that date which is set for december 12th. >> thank you for the reporting. earlier, we had farai live in jim bob way. now let's go back there live. thousands of people are coming together, again, people marching, calling for the resignation of robert mugabe. we see the crowds there. explain the significance of what's happening this day.
1:08 am
>> it's hard to overstate the significance. i'm here with thousands of people. if you look behind me on the street, these are people from all walks of life in jim bob way. they are coming from the opposition, they are coming from the ruling party, they are coming from the war veterans. two weeks ago, all of these people had come out, they might have been arrested. but now they are here, charging and screaming and supporting the overthrow of the apparent could, but not a coup of robert mugabe. just take a look at this. they're shouting free tom, freedom. tomorrow is another take, but today is a day of celebration. robert mugabe, the 93-year-old
1:09 am
leader of this country is under house arrest and he's being poresed by the military and others to leave office, to get out of town. this is a historic moment in zimbabwe. we were here a year ago and people were running away from teargas and remember either bullets. now they're out here peacefully asking the leader to leave robert mugabe is politics. it looks like the tides have turned right now. >> david mackenzy in the streets there of harare. we continue to monitor what is happening behind you. thousands of people, many people who knew no one other than
1:10 am
robert mugabe as that nation's president. again, as you mentioned, he's been president for many decades there. talk to us about that. this rally that we're seeing, it's being allowed to happen, as you point out, and it has support as long as it remains peaceful. >> that's right. there's something extraordinary like this. you can't see it in camera, but all around town, there are military vehicles keeping the peace here. you don't see police mir on the streets and i can bet you the people here behind me will say, you know what? the police sometimes are -- in downtown. the situation is peaceful, the people are holding zimbabwean flax. they say the mu bat bay must go.
1:11 am
grandfather the bob needs to leave office that sign says. you see a multi racial crowd out here. you can't stress how significance this is. you have war veterans, members of the ruling party, open sis members. they've all come out today with a unified voice. and if you step back a bit, the point of this, i think, is to apply pressure on the president. he's holed up in statehouse, several members of his party have been detained. but if he look at the streets, the at moss peer is to get out of town, president mugabe. that is what i'm hearing from everything, every certainly person that i'm talking to here. >> davis mackenzy following this
1:12 am
situation that is playing out. thousands of people coming together, demanding the resignation of that nation's president. and davis, does he have any recourse here? as we're seeing, again, a very clear message being delivers from the people. >> well, you have the symbolism out on the streets. that's a power frl message and the president has to be seeing this because said media has been taking over by the military. these protests are front and center now and so the president will see the message. he tries to push back towards the military, but the military says they are going to negotiate. we had a source inside those meetings who said that the deals was almost done 24 hours ago, but that deal fell lieu. but the president has to know,
1:13 am
he himself is the one who mastered the art of pressure, go ergz and violence over his long regime. this on some level is a chakted move by the military to let the people protest, to join in, to give this on some level a feeling of of a popular uprighting against the president. but, you know, it won't be over until the president leaves or officially resigns. but the momentum is building against him. >> over 37 years of holding power, he has been able to maintain power through perhaps negotiation. you see negotiation is happening. is there a sense that mr. mugabe could in some form or fashion hold on to power despite what
1:14 am
we're seeing right now on the streets? >> i think the sense is his support has slipped away and he's the paper president right now, not the president in charge. as i said, you can never say never. over the years of his rule, mugabe has side lined allies. that is part of the problem here for him because he isn't is put in a succession plan. he fired the vice president and the and that wasn't acceptable and that up to this point it seems they carefully oshg excavated this plan to take over first the power on the street of the military b, sideline the
1:15 am
security services and this in a way rally the people and the people themselves are sick and tired of war, of robert mugabe. so you said this ground swell of people coming out today in the masses, in the capital, calling for president mugabe to step down. >> our david mackenzy in the middle of it all. what you are seeing is this image of thousands of people. people demanding the resignation of robert mugabe. we have to wait to see what happens next. we understand there are people coming together for a rally that otherwise would not be allowed to.happen but is being allowed to happen so long as it remains peaceful. we will continue to monitor what is happening there and, of course, bring you live events as they happen.
1:16 am
now to the latest twist in the probe of russian meddling in the u.s. election. a crucial part of the congressional testimony of white house senior adviser jared kushner is now being called into question. it involves his remarks on wikileaks. we get more now from cellular phone's etch perez on this story. >> jared kushner told congressional investigators that he didn't communicate with wikileaks and didn't recall anyone in the trump campaign who did. but we now hour from disclosures this week that donald trump sent an e-mail the to kushner and others in the campaign to pass on information that he learned from wikileaks and he then forwarded that information to hope hicks and then president trump and then the communications trekter at the white house. this revolution turns up pressure for kushner to go back to capitol hill and explain
1:17 am
himself. there was a public letter sent to kushner's lawyer saying he failed to turn over information that they knew existed. the wikileaks question is a gotcha question. in over six hours of voluntary testimony, mr. kushner answered all questions put to him and demonstrated that there had been no collusion between the campaign and russia. also says that the senate judiciary committee should ask other congressional committees for the transcripts of their kushner interviews and that they should ask the white house for other documents. evan paris, cnn, washington. >> evan, thank for the reporting. you're watching "cnn newsroom." still ahead, lebanon's former prime minister is on the move. what's next and why he's

1:22 am
it's the third time in the last month that russia has used its vee to power to derail the joint investigative mechanism. russia claim the probe is bias. >> russia's veto, its second in 24 hours, shows us that russia has no interest in finding common ground with the rest of this council to save the j.i.n. russia will not agree to my mechanism that might shine a spotlight on the use of chemical weapons by its allies, the syrian regime. it's a simple and shameful as that. >> this third veto in a month clearly exposes russia's determination to protect their syrian ally, whatever the harm that causes. to the ban on the use of chemical weapons, to the wider
1:23 am
international system of rules, to russia's own reputation. >> the u.s. and the uk blasting the russian veto in that situation. now, moving on to the lebny prime minister, hariri has arrived in pariser for talks. he abruptly announced his resignation. the prime minister will return to lep non-wednesday and attend independence day celebrations. a lot to talk about here. ben, always a pleasure to have you. let's talk about this. we'll get to the latest, of course. he's in france right now, but we know that hariri will be in lebanon on wednesday. is there an expectation that that will happen, that he will officially resign?
1:24 am
>> well, he has hinted that that is one of his options. but at the same time, he gave to future tv from riyadh, he hinted that he might, in fact, withdraw his resignation. really, honestly at this point, george, nobody has any idea. we just saw this tweet from the lebanese president, michael oun who says he was contacted by telephone and that is a bit of clarity in a situation where everything is a bit fog by. according to reports i just saw a second ago, in addition to contacting the president, he contacted the shia speaker of the lebanese parliament. he contacted another who is the
1:25 am
head of the progressive socialist party. so it does appear that he's making a lot of phone calls. the worry was as long as he was in saudi arabia, he was not a free man. he said, however, when he was on his way the to paris, that those beliefs that he was a hostage are a lie, but once he's out of saudi arabia, he's becoming much more active on his telephone. gormg. >> talk to us about what we know of his time in france. what all will be be discussing? who all will he see and meet? >> well, in the coming hours, we know he will be meeting with emmanuel macron, the french president. afterthat, he will be at his residence in paris.
1:26 am
he would be holding meetings with his aides, with his political allies. but we do have clarity to the extent that you can get clarity on this story, george, that he will somehow be back in lebanon next week. we have to take all of of of this with a grain of salt. honestly, we just have to -- i hate to use that cliche -- wait and see, george, because this story has so many twists and turns, one can get a sore neck. >> and you are not a man for cliches, for sure. but yeah, wait and see seems to be the proper term here. ben, thank you for the reporting today. your watching "cnn newsroom." still ahead, a cnn sclus issiex.
1:27 am
>> the numbers roll in, these men are sold for $400 apiece. you are watching an auction of human beings. >> cnn journalists risk their lives to document the human rights atrocity in libya. now the authorities are responding. stay with us.
1:28 am
1:29 am
1:30 am
welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom."
1:31 am
it is good to have you with us. i'm george howell with the headlines we're following for you. this hour, in jim bob way thousands of people are marching calling on the president mugabe to resign. the armed forces placed mr. mugabe under house arrest on wednesday in an apparent coup. the white house is brushing off any comparison between the u.s. senator al franken and president donald trump regarding allegations of sexual misconduct. the president secretary told reporters the distinction is, quote, senator franken has admitted wrongdoing. the president hasn't. north korea says talks with the chinese envoy focused on the need for friendly relations. the envoy met with high level north korean officials to relay developments from the recent communist party congress. no word yet on whether the north korean leader, kim jong un, will meet.
1:32 am
♪ authorities in libya say they are investigating kiss turning instances of migrants sold as slaves. as a result of our cnn exclusive reporting, you're about to see officials in tripoli were prompted to act. the migrants reached libya after harrowing journeys from other afric african countries. though those who do make the it to europe, they're often too terrified to go on record about the ordeal. for the last year, cnn has been working to bring these stories to light. a cnn team comprising raja and alex traveled to libya to witness the inhumanity themselves. they got access to a migrant slave auction where men were sold like commodities.
1:33 am
>> a man addressing an unseen crowd. big, strong boys for farm work, he says. 400. 700. 700. 800. the numbers roll in. these men are sold for 1200 libyan pounds, $400 apiece. you are watching an auction of human beings. another man claiming to be a buyer. off camera, someone asks, what happened to the ones from niger? sold off, he's told. cnn was sent this footage by a contact. after months of working, we were able to verify the authenticity of what you see here.
1:34 am
we decided to travel to libya the to try and see for ourselves. we're now in tripoli and we're starting to get a little bit more of saens of how this all works. our contacts are telling us that there are one to two of these auctions every month and there is one happening in the next few hours. so we're going to head out of town and see if we can get some sort of access to it. for the safety of our contacts, we have agreed not to divulge the location of this auction, but the town we're driving to isn't the only one. night falls. we travel through nondescribes suburban neighborhoods pretending to look for a missing person. eventually, we.stop outside a house like any other. adjust our secret cameras. and wait.
1:35 am
finally, it's time to move. we're ushered into one of two auctions happening on this same night. crouched at the back of the yard, a flood light obscuring much of the scene. one by one, men are brought out as the bidding begins. 400. 500. 550. 600. 650. 700. very quickly, it's over. we ask if we can speak to the man, the auctioneer seen here. refuses. we ask again if we can speak to them. we can help them.
1:36 am
no, he says. the auction is over with. and we're asked to leave. that was over very quickly. we walked in and as soon as we walked in the men started covering their faces. but they clearly wanted to the finish what they were doing and they kept bringing out what they kept referring to in arabic as the merchandise. all in all, they admitted to us there were 12 nigerians that were sold in front of us. and i honestly don't know what to say. that was probably one of the most unbelievable things i've ever seen. >> take us to italy. take us to our various countries. >> these men are migrants with dreams of being smuggled to
1:37 am
europe by c this n. they come in the thousands prosecute niger, mali, nigeria, ghana. it's hard to believe that these are the lucky ones, rescued from warehouses like the one in which we.witnessed, the auction. they're sold if those warehouses become overcrowded or if they run out of money to pay their smugglers. of these rescued men, so many here say they were held against their will. it doesn't take us long to find victory. we know that some people are being sold. >> yes. >> some people are being told. is this something you've heard about? >> sure. i was sold.
1:38 am
>> what happened? >> on my way here, i was sold. pu look at most of the people here, if you check their bodies, you see the marks. they're beaten. most of them lost their lives there. i was there, the person who came for me, gave them the money. then they took me home. so the money wasn't even much. >> they took people to work by force. even where we were at the seaside pork. when you are doing their work, they will beating you. this is the supervisor here.
1:39 am
his job is to look after them until they are deported. he says every day brings fresh heartbreak. >> i'm suffering for them. i am suffering for them. what they have seen here daily, believe me, make me feel pain for them. they come with stories. people were abusing them, stole their money. >> have you heard about people being auctioned off, about migrants being sold? >> honestly, we hear the rumors, but there is nothing in obvious in front of us. we don't have evidence. >> but we now do. cnn has delivered this evidence to the libyan authorities who have prom dollars to launch an investigation so that scenes like this are returned to the past. nima elbaira, cnn, libya. >> nima, thank you for the reporting. in addition to alerting the libyan authorities about about what we uncovered, cnn has passed our evidence on to the

1:43 am
returning now to the allegations of sexual misconduct against politicians here in the united states. despite more than a dozen accusations against the u.s. president himself, donald trump criticized smee criticized senator al franken, yet the president has been relatively quiet on roy moore who is running to fill a vacant u.s. senate seat. let's now bring in john thomas joining us from los angeles. john, always a pleasure to have you here on the show. we've heard from the white house press secretary this statement that senator al franken admitted to wrongdoing, president trump did not.
1:44 am
is this the white house side stepping the issue using franken to do so? >> the president certainly lives in a glass house on this issue, month doubt about it. but i do think there are a few dinnerses between donald trump's allegations and what we're seeing with franken. and the main one is that voters had an opportunity to make a decision on whether they wanted donald trump to be in office or not. and though full well knew about the "access hollywood" tape. we lived with it pore weeks. in franken's case, voters were privy to the information when they elected him. there is no doubt the president is trying to score a political shot here, but i think the circumstances are different because the voters had the opportunity in one case and not
1:45 am
in the other. >> does this come down to choosing party over morality? >> it's a great point you make, george, but in alabama, and i've won a bunch of senate races in alabama. i know that area very well. and one thing i know is that party is such a -- people are so strongly tethered to their party. much of it has to do with being pro life or pro choice. and i can't even believe we're saying this, george, but to many voters in alabama, they would rather have somebody who is pro life and a pedophile, allegedly, than somebody who is pro lgbt and pro choice. that's what this comes down to. but, again, it looks like what we're seeing in polling in the
1:46 am
last couple of days is that while moore certainly has his dyed in the wool supporters who literally would support him no matter what, it does look like he's dramatically under water, even looszing to a democrat, and that's something something, george, in a state like alabama that's as red as it is. >> there are many people in the state of alabama who will support judge moore no matter what. we did also hear from mr. moore's wife. >> so to the people of alabama, thank you for being smarter than they think you are. they will call you names. they will say all manner of evil against you. and i would say consider the source. so let me set the record straight. even after all the attacks against me, against my family, against the foundation and now against my husband, he will not step down.
1:47 am
he will not stop fighting for the people of alabama. in his words, and i quote, i will mott stop until they lay me in that box in the ground. >> kayla moore saying her husband will not step down, saying to consider the source, to dismiss the allegations against judge moore and to vote for moore. >> i've got to be honest, look, i'm a republican strategist. it's the team i play for. but in this case, it pains me to watch that because i know what they're doing. i understand the tactic. they're trying to make this about the liberal media, about the washington insiders not liking judge moore and there's some conspiracy here. and i have to tell you, when this story first broke, george,
1:48 am
i raised an eyebrow looking at timing, 30 days before an election, this had never come out before. but as more and more women came out, as you found out that this guy was on a watch list for a local mall, and i heard a radio interview he did with sean hahnty a day or so after this broke. and sean gave him every opportunity to categorically deny that he didn't touch these women and he dodged and he danced and he parsed his words. >> if judge moore does win, where does this leave the party along with the president of the united states who dismisses the allegations against him with a blanket statement that all of his accusers are liars? >> well, the republican party will have a brand crisis if judge moore gets elected. there is no doubt about it. mitch mcconnell made et clear. they can do that. i can see that, that will happen on day one.
1:49 am
if the republicans don't oust roy moore, this will haunt the republicans, mott just as a brand challenge, but it could cost them the majorities in the senate and the house as we go into the midterm elections. >> john thomas, we appreciate your insight on this today. thank you. >> thank you. and the former u.s. president bill clinton's past transition depressions are being scrutinized. some say he should have resigned as president over his affair with intern monica lewinski 20 years ago. here is how hillary clinton, his wife, reacted. >> this was a painful time not only in our marriage, but in our country,s as i've written about. but it was investigated fully. it was addressed at the time. he was held accountable. that is very different than what people seem to be remembering from that period because you can go back and look at the history.
1:50 am
>> bill clinton was impeached over the scandal, but was acquitted by the senate and completed his term of office. still ahead, a police officer uses his talent to catch criminals and provide closure for the families of fallen heros. stay with us. t-mobile family plans now come with netflix included. that's huge. that's right. t-mobile's got your netflix subscription covered... ...when you get a family plan with two or more lines.

in the u.s. state of pennsylvania, one police officer is going beyond the call of duty. he's using his artistic talent to capture the bravery of fallen heros. >> reporter: there's a crammed space in the basement of philadelphia's police department. it's where officer johnny castro stays busy with one of the oldest forms of crime solving, forensic art. >> i've always been good at drawing. my dad taught me a lot with portrait work. >> the job of this retired military police officer is to draw what a witness can recall. he then comes up with the sketch of a suspect. castro says when there's no evidence or photographic clues in a case, his penis and paper
1:55 am
are a resort. but a year and a half ago, this patrolman took on a new and somber duty, sketching the faces of the fallen. he captures an officer's bravery. >> a canine officer from louisiana, a police officer from europe. >> he likes to include honors that some officers didn't even get a chance to wear. >> he was posthumous thely promoted to sergeant. so he never had any photos as a sergeant. so i did him in a sergeant's uniform. >> that kind of attention to detail can go a long way for loved ones of an officer. >> the main thing i'm concerned about is just making sure i'm drawing this person the way people that knew him remember him. >> his 104th sketch goes to joel davis's family, the new york state trooper killed in the line of duty in the july. >> i want the to make sure that if his son or daughter sees it,
1:56 am
they're seeing their appear. >> after trooper davis' portraits have been trimmed, signed and shipped, a calm will be added to the wall of heros that's castro's personal memorial that continues to fwroe. >> even when i stop working on one, you'll get the notification that another was killed somewhere else. >> the biggest challenge for castro is keeping up, sketching two or three officers a week. >> unfortunately, it's -- there's always going to be an officer to do. >> that's the sad reality. castro will always have an inspiration for his next piece. >> cnn's polo sand on oval reporting for us, thank you. another hours of "newsroom" is on deck after the break. stay with us.
