the world are mourning the man who exemplified the word "maverick." u.s. senator john mccain died saturday at the age of 81 after a battle with brain cancer. >> mccain will be honored three times this week. first in his home state of florida -- in arizona, i should say. then at the u.s. capitol in washington. and eventually laid to rest at the u.s. naval academy in maryland. cnn's phil mattingly has more. >> he was irascible. he was combative. he was funny as all get out when you talk to someone who's dealt with him the last couple of years. but more importantly more than anything else he was an icon of some sort. he was a legend in the united states senate. he was somebody who was just a few hundred thousand votes away from being president of the united states. and he was known around the world, someone who would regularly travel tens of thousands of miles to push his ideals, his representation of what he thought the united states of america could be. he's john mccain. he passed away on saturday at the age of 81, and he leaves a

legacy that's certainly unmatched by any current senator, and he leaves a long trail of statements both funny, sad, remorseful that there's not more time left. just take a listen to what senator jeff flake, the junior senator for arizona, had to say. >> it's tough to have a voice like that silenced. but this voice for civility, to put, you know, the country above your party, these are things that he taught for years and never more important than the last year. >> reporter: that's probably one of the most important things you're picking up in the wake of senator mccain's death, is his colleagues, both democrat and republican, recognizing what his voice meant, particularly in such a volatile time for the country, such a volatile time both domestically and internationally. he was a voice where you always knew where he was going to stand. and perhaps unlike most politicians when mccain realized that perhaps he had erred he corrected those errors. and he was willing to do so in a way that very rarely do you see politicians in this day and age.

it's part of what made him who he was. somebody who was always looking for the fight, always wanted to be in the fight. probably didn't need to fight as much as he did when you talk to some aides and some of his colleagues. and yet was always there on the senate floor with his colleagues, helping people both domestically and akrcross the world. certainly a voice that will be missed. he will lie in state in the state capitol of arizona. there will be a service there. he'll then come to washington and lie in state at the rotunda in the u.s. capitol. then he'll go to annapolis at his beloved u.s. naval academy, have a private service there and then he will be buried on those grounds. certainly an end to a legacy that's unmatched in this day and age and a career of a senator that will most certainly be missed inside that chamber. phil mattingly, cnn, washington. >> remembering the life and legacy of senator john mccain. steven erlanger joins us now, steven the cheep diplomatic correspondent in europe for the "new york times" joining us this hour from brussels, belgium. always a pleasure to have you. first, as a politician he took

positions that some people liked, others didn't. but it seems that everyone agrees about the character of this man. what stands out to you about john mccain? >> well, first of all, he was a man of the west but he was also from a deeply establishment family. his father was an admiral. his grandfather was an admiral. the navy has a ship called the "john s. mccain" which now has all three of them attached to it. he was a conservative republican but a republican of the kind that i think is disappearing. he was a republican that cared about america's role in the world, that was very antagonistic toward russian expansionism, was a big supporter of nato. some people think the new nato building should be named after him. he believed america had a role in the world in spreading

democracy, in standing up for its values, in being the head of a multilateral order. he traveled a lot to different parts of the world more than most senators now do. he was a constant at key european and trans-atlantic conferences. he spoke out for a kind of eisenhower republicanism that was in sharp contrast to president trump. one of the reasons so many people are talking in the way senator flake talks about mccain is simply in contrast to president trump, who believes or seems to believe in really none of those things that i've just listed. >> you mention mr. flake but there have been so many other people who've spoken about senator mccain, people who of course as you point out praise his bipartisanship, credit his

courage as a vietnam vet, as a p.o.w. who was captured, offered early release, steven, but refuse td until his fellow prisoners could also be released. he stayed longer, enduring more torture. where does john mccain fit in the books of american history? >> well, i hope he's not the conclusion of a chapter. this is what worries me. i hope people will pick up the things he believed in and carry them forward. everyone's personality's different. i mean, i think it's ironic that he and senator edward kennedy both died of the same disease, maybe nine years apart, because ted kennedy too was a senator whose reputation and importance was grander than his senate seat. i mean, senator kennedy also believed in bipartisanship. he also tried to become

president rather badly but was a very good senator, and this kind of bipartisanship -- remember the mccain-feingold bill which was about campaign financing reform. this was reaching across the aisle to a very liberal democrat to try to get something done. mccain has made mistakes, that's for sure, but he also spoke of the nation. just in his funeral to which donald trump will not go, but mccain has asked both presidents who he lost to, president obama and president bush, to speak at his funeral. even in death he's trying to reach out in a bipartisan way to a nation that as we know is very divided politically and with a president who is very partisan and his whole base lives on

division. mccain was not a man who lived on division. you can argue about principles but what he believed in was an america bigger than political parties and bigger than himself. and that's the hope i think many people have will be carried forward. >> steven erlanger live for us in brussels, belgium. steven, thank you for your time. >> thanks, george. well, once again a mass shooting in the united states has brought heartache to the state of florida. this was at a video game tournament in jacksonville. at least two people were killed when a young man opened fire and then killed himself. police have identified him as a 24-year-old from baltimore. >> his motive at this point not clear, but we do know he was competing in a tournament which was being livestreamed online. we're about to show you video of one of the games going on when the shooting started. we do warn you, you may find the

video disturbing because you can hear the gunshots and at least one person reacting to being shot. we'll play it now. >> got a lot of good games going on. >> it's going to be hard to get them on stream. it's a lot. >> it's not a tough out today -- excuse me, not an easy out. [ gunshots ] [ scream ] >> ow! oh, [ bleep ]! what are you shooting with? oh! >> wow, it is just shocking to hear that audio. >> it's chilling. >> cnn has learned that two handguns were found at the scene and one of them was used in the shooting. >> but we still don't know how the suspect obtained the weapon. florida governor rick scott says it's time to get to the root of the problem with these mass

shootings. >> something's got to change. what is causing these young men not to value life? whether it's their own life or somebody else's life. there's something wrong. whether it's parents or grandparents. whether it's their schools. whether it's their churches and their synagogues. whether it's elected officials. you know, there's something that's changed in our society that young men don't value life like they used to. >> well, investigators have searched the suspect's family home in baltimore. >> a neighbor says he rarely saw the man. cnn's polo sandoval has more details. >> reporter: well, police in jacksonville, florida confirm that the suspect behind the nation's latest mass shooting is a 24-year-old man from baltimore, maryland. police confirming his identity. david katz is among the three people dead at the scene. katz allegedly opened fire at a video game competition sunday afternoon inside that jacksonville restaurant. police also believe katz was a

participant at this video game tournament though they have not confirmed a motive, only saying he used a handgun in the shooting. investigators say katz shot and killed two people. nine others were also shot and are recovering from their injuries. police now asking the community for any video. they're already going over that footage that already has been circulating online that shows the seconds before those shots rang out, offering a picture inside that game bar. investigators also conduct a search of the suspect's vehicle as they try to piece together a motive in this case. polo sandoval, cnn, new york. joining me now to talk more about this disturbing story is john matthews. he is a former dallas police officer and the author of mass shootings "six steps to survival." thank you very much for being with us. >> good to be here. >> the details of course are chilling. 24-year-old david katz of baltimore shot and killed two people, wounded nine others,

then turned the gun on himself and took his own life. we don't know the motive just yet, but how does something like this happen and what security measures needed to be in place at this tournament to try to prevent a shooting like this? >> well, i can tell you any public gath krerg we need to put security measures in place that are going to mitigate the chances of a shooting like this happening. we've got to as the public enters check them just like we check them at athletic events and high-profile public facilities. anytime we've got the public getting together we've got to check people, check their bags, and make sure they're not bringing a weapon in. in this instance we had a video game conference going on and the shooter obviously knew about that. i've watched many of these videos, and the thing that disturbs me the moemt most is you watch the videos and these young people kept playing the games. they heard the shots, they saw the shooting occurring, and they were playing the games. they were so focused, so intent.

and so this shooter really had a run at the whole place. >> yeah, i don't think any of these video gamers had any idea what was actually taking place. your book, though, is about how to survive a shooting like this. what should people do when they're taken by surprise by an incident like this? a lot of the time not even realizing that a shooting is taking place. >> well, the first step is you've got to be situationally aware. you've got to be aware of your surroundings. that was the sad thing about today-s these kids were focused on qualifying for this tournament. they were focused on the game. and you could hear the gunshots and see the games they were still playing. so you've got to be aware of your surroundings. the first and best thing you can do is exit the area, get away from the gunman as fast as you can in a safe manner. that usually means going out not the primary exit but going out some secondary exit away from the gunman. if you can't exit, the best thing to do is to find cover.

anything that will stop bullets. that's what you're looking for. it might be video game machines. it might be furniture. soda machines. anything that will stop bullets. if you can't find cover, find concealment. concealment is anything that will hide you. if you can stay out of that shooter's line of sight, your chances for surviving an incident like this go up greatly. >> now, you did touch on this when we talked about security, but what does america need to do to stop these mass shootings and when will the politicians think enough is enough? what will it take? >> well, i can't speak for the politicians. we've had these incidents for the last 30, 40 years. they need to get it together in washington and figure out what they're going to do on a national level. but we as the citizens, we've got to be prepared. we've got to be trained. we've got to know how to respond. and we've got to beef up security at all of these events, whether it's an outdoor concert or a video game tournament or

anywhere that large numbers of the public are getting together. we've got to make security a priority for all americans. >> it sounds like you don't think anything is going to be done about this, that we basically have to surrender to this, this is our new normal and we have to find a way to protect ourselves in any given public situation. is that really what you're saying here? >> well, i'm not saying that we give up. i'm not saying that we surrender. i'm saying is that while the politicians hashed out the larger issues of mental health, of social problems, of civic problems that are the underlying causes of these mass shootings we as citizens have got to be prepared. we don't want to end up as victims. and so as they work out those huge issues that are the underlying causes we've got to know how to plan, we've got to know how to prepare and we've got to know how to respond. and as a parent i reach out to all the moms and dads out there and say speak with your kids, let them know when you go in

public you may be in an incident and you must be able to react and respond accordingly so that everyone gets out alive. >> john matthews, thank you so much for talking with us. we do appreciate it. >> thank you, rosemary. still ahead, the pope. he has been in ireland over the weekend, but there is another controversy around him. an archbishop claims pope francis ignored allegations of abuse by a cardinal for years. he's calling on the head of the roman catholic church to step down. how pope francis is responding as "newsroom" pushes ahead. ♪

[ding] welcome back to "newsroom." we've been following pope francis over the weekend in ireland. the pope offered a plea for forgiveness and an apology for decades of abuse by the roman catholic church that went unchecked. pope francis wrapped up a whirlwind weekend trip to ireland with a sunday mass attended by thousands in dublin's phoenix park. >> he told the crowd the church failed to provide abuse survivors with compassion or to look for justice or truth, and he asked for forgiveness. but even as he spoke he's facing

claims by a former top vatican official that he ignored abuse allegations for years and should resign. more now from cnn's delia gallagher. >> reporter: at the end of his two-day trip to ireland, a trip in which sex abuse and the church's response to it was one of the main topics of pope francis's speeches, the pope himself on the papal plane with journalists returning to rome fielded questions including one about allegations made by his former ambassador to washington, d.c., archbishop viganeau, that pope francis knew about allegations of abuse of seminarians on the part of former cardinal mccarrick. pope francis says he has read the 11-page statement from archbishop viganeau which implicates pope francis and a number of other catholic church hierarchy officials and the pope responded in this way. he said, "read the statement

carefully and make your own judgment. i will not say a single word on this. i believe the statement speaks for itself. when some time passes and you have drawn your conclusions, i may speak." so pope francis essentially saying he's not going to engage with the accusations of his former ambassador to washington. one of the other questions that was raised over the weekend in ireland on the part of abuse survivors and others was a question of an action plan at the vatican. we heard that they didn't want to just hear words, they wanted to see action. pope francis was not directly asked about an action plan by journalists on board the papal plane, but he was asked about how he intends to hold bishops accountable for cover-up and the pope explained that although the bishops tribunal, which had originally been planned, did not come to fruition there is an

office to judge bishops. the pope says it is a separate office from the one which judges, priests accused of sex abuse. and francis said that the reason for it, the separate office, is because it wasn't practical, he says, for different reasons such as the culture of bishops. not entirely clear what the pope is referring to there, but what is clear an this press conference and weekend in ireland is that although pope francis has dismissed the accusations made against him on the part of his former vatican ambassador to the united states there are still some outstanding questions for pope francis and the vatican on transparency for bishops being held accountable for sex abuse and for the general response and action plan that people have been calling for from the vatican. delia gallagher, cnn, rome.

>> well, pope francis is speak out about what he would tell a parent who has a child who is gay. this is what he told reporters on the plane back to italy from ireland sunday. >> translator: what would i say to a father who sees that his son or daughter has that tendency? i would say first to pray. don't condemn. dialogue. understand. make space for them to express themselves. but i'll never say that silence is a remedy. to ignore a son or daughter with homosexual tendencies is a lack of paternity and maternity. >> and the pope added whatever they do parents should not disown their children. he says because everyone has a right to family. well, a british iranian woman, neza investment ne zagadi radcliff is back in prison in tehran after a three-day release when she was able to see her young daughter. >> she has been in prison since april of 2016 accused of working

with others to overthrow the regime. she denies those charges. our nic robertson has the report. >> reporter: it really has been a day of ups and downs for nazanin. her family says i about the end of the day she's been left shifrgs, shaking, crying. just a couple of days ago her husband was here at cnn, richard radcliff, and he told us then that they really hoped and believed they were having positive signs that iranian officials had invested some of their own political capital in this furlough for his wife and that this furlough would be extended. but he did say when talking to hala gorani his concerned for his wife if that didn't come to pass. this is how he explained it. >> what state of mind is your wife in, though? how hopeful is she? >> she's been up and down. i spoke to her yesterday and we didn't know any of this and she was in a very miserable way. i mean, i think obviously we haven't had any news that it's

going to be extended then she won't be looking forward to going back at all. it's been a long hard journeyy for all of us. and with that come real sxupz downs and the potential for panic and so on. >> reporter: and the family have described now what's been a very harrowing day for nazanin. in the morning called in to the prosecutor's office. a prosecutor there. and she was there with her lawyer. the prosecutor told them both that all that was required was a signature on her form to extend her furlough. but he didn't have it yet. but it was okay for her to go back to her house, that she didn't need to go to jail to wait for it. she's on her way back to her family, to her mother, to her daughter at her father's house she gets another phone call we're told by the family, this time from the people she's been dealing with iranian officials saying she has lived up to the terms of her furlough, she hasn't tried leave the country, hasn't contact -- hasn't gone to a foreign embassy and hasn't done interviews with journalists. so she's lived up to her part of the deal. they say therefore her furlough

will be extended, no need to go to jail. barely did she get home than she gets another phone call, this time telling her to go back to the prosecutor's office again. the prosecutor now tells her that she will have to go to jail for just a few days to wait for those signatures. and at that point she decides it's better to do that than go home and be pulled out of her daughter's arms in the middle of the night. that's her fear. but of course she's very distraught, shivering, shaking, crying. this thing in the tale here as well, the family say they've contacted the british embassy in tehran, the british embassy according to the family say that they've been told by iran's foreign ministry that iran's judiciary hasn't extended her furlough and there's no mention of a signature to get her back out of jail. so of course all of this very concerning for her family and a very trying, traumtic and bad day for nazanin herself. nic robertson, cnn, london. >> terrifying situation for that family. >> it is. >> we'll take a very short

break. but remembering a maverick. we will look at how the extraordinary life and legacy of u.s. senator john mccain is being remembered on the world stage. >> another story we're following. hundreds of thousands of rohingya were forced to escape violence in myanmar. one year on we report on their struggles in bangladesh. stay with us. this is not a bed. it's a revolution in sleep. the new sleep number 360 smart bed is on sale now, from $899, during sleep number's 'biggest sale of the year'. it senses your movement, and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. it even helps with this. so you wake up ready to put your pedal to the metal. and now, all beds are on sale. save 50% on the new sleep number 360 limited edition smart bed. plus 24-month financing on all beds. only for a limited time. sleep number. proven, quality sleep.

locations. mccain died saturday after a long battle with brain cancer. he will be honored in his home state of arizona, then at the u.s. capitol in washington, then laid to rest at the u.s. naval academy in maryland. in the u.s. state of florida two people were killed there, this when a man opened fire at a video game tournament in jacksonville, florida on sunday. nine other people were taken to hospital with gunshot wounds. the suspect identified as a 24-year-old from baltimore, maryland used a handgun, then killed himself. the motive of this shooting still unclear. pope francis says for now he will not say a single word bay letter claiming he knew about sexual abuse allegations against a cardinal for years and chose to do nothing. an archbishop made the accusation in an 11-page letter and is calling for the pope to resign. on his way back to rome from ireland pope francis told

reporters the letter speaks for itself and said people should make their own judgment. across the united states people are remembering the life, the legacy of senator john mccain. tributes are pouring in and we're hearing from people closest to him sharing their stories and what he meant to them. >> yeah. mccain was the senior senator from the state of arizona, having served for six terms. the junior senator from the state, jeff flake, spoke to cnn about his colleague. >> i've had john mccain my entire life. i haven't known washington or politics without him. so he's left an indelible mark. just putting the good of the country above your own self-interest. i think that was his mantra. whether that's his approach to the current administration or his approach in general i think that's something i've certainly learned from him and we could all learn from these days, and

seeing the good in your opponents. the fact that george w. bush will be speaking at his funeral, or he was asked to, the person that defeated him. also barack obama. that says all that we need to know about john mccain. that his opponents love, admire, and respect him. that's something that we could all strive for. >> jeff flake there. and making a name on the world stage is a rare thing for a u.s. senator but not for john mccain. let's bring in ivan watson for a look at senator mccain's legacy around the globe. good to see you, ivan. john mccain was not only viewed as a hero here in the united states but also across the globe. what has been the reaction so far to his passing? >> well, there have been plenty of current heads of state and former heads of state who have lauded him, publicly expressed condolences about him. and some of them calling him,

you know, a model for democracy and an international statesman and lawmaker. we've been looking closely at vietnam, which is one country that was kind of a crucible for john mccain as an international figure because that is where he was shot down while piloting a bombing mission in 1967, where he then famously spent more than five years as a prisoner of war, subjected to by his own account torture on multiple occasions. his arms were broken multiple times. he couldn't raise them over his shoulder till his final days. and in discussions about his bipartisanship when it comes to american domestic politics, that extended to relations with vietnam, a country that had imprisoned him, the north vietnamese, in the decades after he was released john mccain made many trips back to vietnam, back to the infamous hanoi hotel, the

facility where he was incarcerated. he lobbied for removing a u.s. embargo against vietnam for re-establishing diplomatic relations with vietnam and said that the ill will of the horrific war between the u.s. and vietnam should be put behind them and they should work together to get closer relations. so the u.s. embassy in vietnam is opening a book of condolences for several days for people to be able to sign it. there's a monument actually by the lake where he splashed down in 1967 and was captured with mccain's name on it. we've seen some american ex-pats laying flowers at that location, and it's been a top story on vietnamese news sites and portals. rosemary? >> right. and john mccain was a fierce critic of russia and its leader, president putin. will we see anyone fill that void and dare to stand up to moscow in the same way? >> hard to say. i mean, certainly leading

figures in moscow are not being very complimentary of john mccain upon word of his passing. you've got a number of russian lawmakers who've come out and said he was basically stuck in a cold war mentality. russian state tv saying that he was a symbol of russophobia because he championed, for example, ukraine when a pro-russian leader there was toppled and in the conflict in eastern ukraine against russian-backed separatists he championed georgia, which tussled and fought a war against russia. and he challenged the president from his own party, donald trump, when president trump in an interview was asked, hey, is vladimir putin a killer? he said hey, the u.s., do you think we're so innocent? well, mccain went on the senate floor. he highlighted russian dissidents who had allegedly

been attacked, assassinated for their criticism of the kremlin, and staked out this very harsh criticism of president putin. take a listen. >> putin is a killer, and he's a killer. i repeat, there is no moral equivalent between that butcher and thug and kgb colonel and the united states of america. and to allege some kind of moral krif equivalence between the two is either terribly misinformed or incredibly biased. neither, neither can be accurate in any way. >> and rosemary, he had such harsh words for president trump after that famous helsinki press conference that he held with president putin. mccain called that press conference a "tragic mistake." >> many thanks to our ivan watson. with global reaction to the passing of john mccain. we'll take a very short break. we'll be back in just a moment.

hundreds of thousands of rohingya people have been forced to escape to bangladesh. >> in addition to reports of murder and torture, aid organizations say there were widespread cases of women and girls raped by myanmar security forces as they fled the country. all claims myanmar's military denies. well, some of these women are now talking publicly about their painful stories. our alexandra field has that report. ♪ >> reporter: in these vast refugee camps in bangladesh many women and girls harbor a painful secret.

they are survivors of what the u.n. calls widespread sexual violence against rohingya. allegedly carried out by the military in myanmar last year. rape was "a calculated tool to force them from their homes." claims the government denies. more than nine months on a number of babies have been born as the result of rape. little yasmin was delivered in june. her mother meher says she was raped by soldiers who set fire to her village in september. >> translator: they demanded to rape me in exchange for sparing my children's life. i agreed to them. >> reporter: filled with shame, meher tried to keep what happened from her husband. >> translator: i told my children not to tell their father about the incident, but they did anyway. because of that my husband wanted a divorce. but he couldn't leave me as i had no parents.

>> reporter: women who survive rape in this community risk being shunned even by their families. for meher the baby would be a painful reminder of the horrors left behind. >> translator: i tried a lot to abort this child but abortion was not possible. i went to the nurse and took pills for abortion, but they didn't work as they were supposed to. >> reporter: around 60 babies are born to rohingya women in refugee camps in bangladesh each day according to unicef. the number of pregnancies resulting from rape is unknown. >> some i'm told are hiding their pregnancies, but i'm also told that many are simply having deliveries in their home, in their camp, unattended or sometimes with local mid-wives. >> reporter: meher gave birth alone in this small bamboo shack. she and her husband have now forged a bond with their new

child in these most difficult of circumstances. >> translator: yes, i love her. my husband also loves her now, though he couldn't accept her at first. he adores the baby when she smiles and plays. >> reporter: but there is a stigma these children could face when they grow up. >> biggest concern of babies left behind is they could grow up with a stigma or a label attached to them which is a lasting legacy for these babies. >> reporter: for yasmin this could be one of the many challenges she'll face in the years ago as she learns to call this refugee camp home. alexandra field, cnn. well, cnn asked myanmar's government for a response to this story. here's what a spokesperson said. "there is no evidence that myanmar soldiers committed any human rights violations in their response to the arsa terrorist attacks on 2017. we have recently formed a new independent commission which

will investigate alleged rights abuses in rakhine state including rape. we will treat any case in accordance with the rule of law." >> let's now bring in the president and ceo of unicef usa, carol stern joining this hour from new york. carol, thank you again for being with us. we just heard the stories of so many children born of rape, the trauma, the strug of of these families trying to find a path forward amid so much uncertainty. if you would, tell us about what you saw. what struck you from your most recent trip to these refugee camps? >> i think every time i take a trip i'm always, you know, prepping myself and reading the numbers, and then you get there and those numbers suddenly become people. and i was struck by several things inside the camp. it's a temporary place for people to live. so the structures are all built out of bamboo, and i know having just come off the monsoon season and as we were approaching the

cyclone season i was really struck by boy, i hope these people will be safe. i spent some time with some women, and i heard their stories, and one woman in particular just, you know, george, she so brought it home for me. she said she returned to her village to find it on fire and people just running everywhere and gunshots flying and her sister was killed and then she grabbed her children and her husband and they ran into the woods and they hid in the woods for three weeks. and then they started to walk from myanmar to bangladesh and it took seven days to get to bangladesh. and she's telling me this story. and you know, it was very heart-wrenching but i was really kind of stoic as she was telling me. and so was she. but then she said on the fifth day my baby died, my baby never got to bangladesh. and she said i had to bury my baby on the side of a road and they don't even know where that road is and i will probably

never be able to go back there again. the floodgates opened. it was the most -- as a mom that was the most horrific thought to me. and every woman that i met, every child that i talked, to every time i said, well, what do you need? how can we help? what do you want? they all said the same thing. they didn't say what i usually hear, i need food, i need clean water, i need medicine. every one of them i heard i need an identity, i need to belong somewhere, i need a home, get me my identity. and then i need justice. i want justice for what has happened to us. and most importantly the gift you can give us is education. that's what i kept hearing. >> caryl, many of these stories simply heartbreaking. and we've heard so many stories of families just trying to figure out a path forward, trying to think about the future. obviously a big part for unicef is to help provide some structure. the basic needs of course. but education as you point out, and your organization is und

sounding the alarm about preventing a lost generation. tell us more about that. >> you know, if we don't give children a future, more children are on the move right now than in any time. and if we don't give them a future we will lose an entire generation. and that means giving them education. it does mean sheltering them, feeding them, clothing them. but as the grown-ups in this world these are children. and we do have to ensure they have a future. so unicef has set up over 100 -- what are called child-friendly spaces. that's where we start. where kids can just be a kid. they can play. they can sing. they can dance. i was really struck. you're in the cam. and you're with these kids in a child-friendly center, and all of a sudden you forget you're in the middle of a refugee camp because there's lots of giggles and lots of singing. but we've also set up over 600 learning centers. places where children are learning to read, they're learning to write, they're learning arithmetic. we must make sure that children learn to critically think, that

they have access to information, and that they're ready to take on the world when they hopefully get out of this camp. >> to that point, though, you mentioned earlier many of the families, many of the people there, these refugee camps are simply looking for a sense of identity in providing education. does that help at least to start with children, finding their paths forward? >> absolutely. how we feel about ourselves is usually defined by our knowledge base. so giving children an education, giving them something to be proud of, equipping them with skills, reminding the world that these are children, they're not rohingyan children, they're children. they're not refugees, they're children. and as grown-ups we should want for them what we want for the children we give birth to ourselves. >> caryl stern with unicef usa. carol, thank you so much for your time. >> thank you. remembering john mccain. the late senator was a

passionate patriot. >> but he also had a very sharp sense of humor. we'll take a look back. the funny side of john mccain. stay with us. to most people, i look like... ...most people. but on the inside, i feel chronic, widespread pain. fibromyalgia may be invisible to others, but my pain is real. fibromyalgia is thought to be caused by overactive nerves. lyrica is believed to calm these nerves. i'm glad my doctor prescribed lyrica. for some, lyrica delivers effective relief from fibromyalgia pain... ...and improves function. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions, suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worse depression, unusual changes in mood or behavior, swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. common side effects: dizziness, sleepiness, weight gain, swelling of hands, legs, and feet. don't drink alcohol while taking lyrica. don't drive or use machinery until you know how lyrica affects you. those who have had a drug or alcohol problem may be more likely to misuse lyrica.

well, colleagues are remembering john mccain not only for his statesmanship but for his humor as well. >> we understand he had quite a sense of humor. even those on the receiving end are saluting the late senator's sharp wit. >> he used to introduce me by saying this is adam schifrks he's a good guy who gets things right about zero percent of the time. even lindsey graham, who he loved more than anyone in the congress, he used to introduce by saying this is lindsey graham, everyone knows lindsey, few people like him. that was the kind of way john would introduce you. and you know, it was just an honor to be in his presence and to watch the kind of respect world leaders had for him, to watch the way he struck up such an easy relationship demeanor with others. it was a treat to be around him. >> and whether it was on a late-night chat show or political symposium, mccain

could be counted on to find something to laugh about. oftentimes it was about himself. >> yeah. here's a quick sample of him at his humorous best. >> how does it make you feel knowing that voters may reject you because they feel you're too old to be president? >> there's a statute of limitations on sarah palin questions. >> and by the way, thanks for keeping mentioning about me losing. i appreciate that. i have this line. after i lost i slept like a baby. sleep two hours, wake up and cry. sleep two hours. >> being a friend and colleague of barack, i just called him that one. he doesn't mind at all. in fact, he even has a pet name for me. george bush. >> any advice for donald trump? >> i gave up on that some time
