things. the champions you saw tonight are a fraction of the folks out there improving the lives of others. in big ways and small wayways, maybe you can be a champion for change too. i am victor blackwell. >> thank you for watching. ♪ all of our viewers here, i am robyn curnow. coming up of the show, the end of an era in germany. voters are choosing angela me merkel's run. and afghanistan, taliban crates a shocking display of what they say is an effort to deter crimes. four alleged kidnappers and hung and on full display across the country's largest city.

>> we do begin with breaking news. emergency crews are on the scene of a passenger train derailment, near the u.s. canadian border. the amtrak train was traveling from chicago west ward to seattle as you can see here and about 4:00 p.m. mountain time, it goes off the track. investigators from the national transportation safety board are en route to the scene. images showing multiple train cars on this side with rescue personnel at work. you can see standing near by. authorities say three people were killed and a number of others injured. according to amtrak, there were

more than 140 passengers and 16 crews on board at the time of this derailment. a passenger on that train derailed. she joins me now. tell us which car you were in and what happened? >> i was in the second sleeper car on the train. and, we had actually gone back to our rooms, i was asleep when the train derailed. i woke to it derailing. i would describe the experience as kind of extreme turbulent on an airplane but louder.

there was kind of a lot of smoke smell and it was the first thought i had when i woke up was oh my god, we are derailing? and immediately i was like that's crazy. we are not derailing and it was probably 10 or 15 seconds of rocking back and forth and tons of noise and we came to a stop and really it was, we didn't know what was going on and for a couple of minutes it was silent and there was not really any instructions so we stayed in our room. they came around and kind of, we are trying to figure out what was going on and i would say the train probably derailed around 4:15. within ten minutes after that. we evacuated our cars. we were off the train and it was not until we got off the train that we knew the extent of it. we kind of thought maybe the car behind us had like slightly come off or something like that but

it ended up being much worse and a lot more jarring to see when we got off the train. >> and just for our audience, the images we are playing some of them were photographs you took. just talk us through. you got off the train and this is the photographs that you took. explain to us what we were seeing. >> we saw just our train, the first four or five cars and the one behind ours is slightly off and the one behind that was kind of in between two sets of railroad tracks and the one behind that one had completely tipped over and fallen over. that was the most shocking part, like immediate shock. we didn't know that significant had happened. when we came around, ambulances says we are blocking our view

further on but by the time we cross, there were three cars that were completely tipped over and yeah, that was completely jarring and then from then on it was a lot of chaos. the reaction from passengers was definitely mixed. there were like a wide range of ages and stuff. >> you are all talking to each other. there were fatalities and confusion. was anybody trying to find each other? give us a sense of what you were saying to each other. >> it was chaotic. to be honest when we got off and obviously the image of it, you knew there was going to be injuries but we didn't like visually see any for ourselves but there were people very concerned about their loved ones and some people had passengers

in coach while they were in sleeper cars. overall, the mood was very disconnected and i think a lot of people trying to process what happened and not really understanding and peeshlespecia people were in cars that were tipped over and they're coming out of it and not knowing what to think and how to process. >> just kind of confused by the experience and probably in shock. >> totally. >> meghan, i appreciate you joining us here on cnn. you had quite a day. you deserve some rest. thank you very much for sharing your story. >> absolutely. thank you for having me. >> ♪ to germany now where it's 9:00 in the morning and a new

era. voting is underway determining angela merkel's 16 years in office. it had major implication force the future of germany and europe broadly. since becoming chancellor in november of 2005. mrs. merkel is one of the most powerful women in the world. she's the de facto leader of the eu and a symbol of stability across the continent. it's unclear who's likely to fill her shoes with polls showing the race is just too close to call. let's go straight to fred standing by in berlin. too close to call, what's happening right now where you are? >> reporter: hi there, good morning. i have been at three polling stations this morning. you can see the one that's right behind me still a little quiet here. that's deceiving because we are right next to the route of the berlin marathon which is happening here in berlin as well and does not make it easy for people to go to polling stations like this one. i was in two other polling

stations, it's pretty full at those polling stations and i think one of the reasons in some of these polling stations, you have seen a lot of people show up because this race is so close and so different. for r the first time in 16 year the next chancellor is not angela merkel. you are not going to fhave a blow-out victory. this race is too close to call. he was down in the poll and right now looks as though things are too close to call at this point in time. it's going to be a difficult one fo for angela merkel to come in power. he was out on a campaign event yesterday as well.

dow see when you speak to the social democrats. they have no try and essentially making it across finish line in first place. one of the things we have been talking about is the environment and climate and that forced one of the reasons why we expect the green party to have a strong showing today. it looked as though for a while the candidate could become chancellor. she's dropped behind a little bit but still a strong showing for r the green party again. an exciting day happening today. >> it's exciting and it's about quantifying germany's past the last 16 years and pfiguring out who'll fill mrs. merkel's shoes which is not an easy path. who's out there and who can

basically fill her? >> well, that's one of the big things voters here are going to decide. one of the things candidate trying to do is he's trying to portray himself as what americans would call presidential and what the germans would call true chancellor. he puts himself forward as the next person who can fill angela merkel's shoes. whether or not if he does make it, it will be viewed, it's up for debate. he's someone who's been in politics for a long time but not loud on the international stage. you are also correct, robyn to say this is a actpivotal time f this country. however, people do realize that reforms are needed especially towards a green economy. social reforms as well and of

course what is germany's role going to be on the international stage going forward. that's also something that's going to be a key question for the next chancellor in office after the big era of angela merkel comes to a close after the new government is formed. >> good to see you, you will have a busy day. thank you so much, we'll check in with you. i want to go straight to the editor and chief of the german newspapers and also a busy day for you. fascinating time for germany. as i was saying to my colleague, this is about quantifying merkel's leadership. what is the big take away as people are trying to ponder the future. is it very much looking back the last 16 years as well. >> the big take away is after a solid era of angela merkel's election victory.

this is a completely different race and it's a completely fragmented landscape. just to give you an example, when angela merkel became chancellor, she won with 38% of the polls. you would lose an election with 37%. today the next chancellor who ever that may be will win with something like roughly 23% or 25%. for the first time in german history, there are a fourth of the country will have voted, this time is only a fourth. that's because there are so many topics that actually divides germany. there is the debate between climate and jobs in the germans current industry. and there was a devastate flood here in germany that was handled badly from the government. it turned people away. there is immigration and so many topics that over the past years that angela merkel always p

portrayed under her leadership as a uniting leadership that have driven german apart from each other. that's what you will see with probably six parties making it into parliament in a fragmented party landscape. >> who do you think will be a next chancellor? >> i am a betting man. well, while the polls are very close. it's too close to call. we have to say that all polls had elite for the social democrats. that was basically his campaign and i think i would put my money on him.

>> what about germany's role in europe and in the world? in the last 16 years germany have gone to this economic power house and to mrs. merkel bashing of liberals' ideas. what does it mean about the way germany is going to fit into this shifting and divided europe and divided world? >> well, we have gone from europe to power house economically. if you look at foreign policy, germany is basically still absent without leave. and angela merkel has refused to position germany in a way that would match our economic strengths. she has never been a true leader when it came to the big foreign policy debate. interestingly we had the debates over the past week i have seen, you would know from an american

presidential race and foreign policy questions were completely - it felt that all the candidates were quite comfo comfortable. there was not really one over the past years. >> that's fascinating. you talk about germans divided over the issues. these are real hot button issues. what's the turn out like? how invigorated and connected are germans to actually to go out and vote. that tells you the enthusiasm labels tell you a lot as well. >> i think we have been living for the past two years of the most politicized, i have ever experienced in covering politics. that of course was not because

of coronavirus but different covid policies. people are passionate about that. time becomes politicalized and covid sonon top of that. a record turn out for this election roughly around 75% and interestingly it will be a huge male ballot turnout. that makes it unpredictable and impossible to predict and call this race. mail-in ballot was more or less a thing for the elderly. people would not be able to go to the polling station chlgt now this kind of shifted. it used to be a thing for the conservatives. it has shifted to the center left where people are concerned ab about. that's the main factor that makes it so difficult to protect the results. >> great.

we'll speak to you again. it's certainly fascinating and implications not just for germans but europe and sort of shifting alliances. always good to see you and get your analysis live there in barl be berlin. >> thank you, robyn. >> reporter: . congress and the white house is coming down to a wire. we have that story also. two canadians returning home after three years in chinese prisons. we talk about both of these stories which happens concurrently. what was that? judy? d-con. mice love it to death. are you one of the millions of americans who experience occasional bloating, gas or abdominal discomfort?

u.s. lawmakers only have a few days to pass critical legislation worth trillions of dollars. the tough priority is to avoid the government to shutdown on friday when federal agency runs out of money. nancy pelosi wants a house vote on monday on the $1.2 trillion

infrastructure bill that has passed the senate. a much larger $3.5 trillion spending bill back by progressives is facing some oppositions from joe manchin and kirsten sinema. that bill was passed on saturday. p progress sives are resisting making any further cuts. the political stakes are high for the white house as it tries to get this key legislation passed in congress the next few days. we get more now. >> reporter: president biden is spending the weekend at camp david as his legislative agenda is entering a make or break week. nancy pelosi told her colleagues, he wants to see the

3 $3.5 trillion economic agenda reaching the house ofloor this week. president biden spoke with nancy pelosi and chuck schumer before leaving the white house on friday where they talked about the future and weighed forward on both of those measures. the president is learning a bit more of what the moderates are hoping to see with the larger package. some opposed of the $3.5 trillion figure. the president is expected to return to the white house on sunday. he could possibly hold other meetings with lawmakers heading into the beginning of the week as well as maybing e making pho. cnn, the white house. natasha is joining us now. good to see you. you heard there the president needs to get this across the finish line. do you think they will?

>> i think they have to. i don't think they have a choice. they'll get punished in the midterms if they don't do anything. this is really different from the 2010 midterms where the democrats did pass the affordable care act, obamacare and they were punished. that was because that act had a lot more controversies around it. these bills are popular with the majority of americans of any of the surveys taken on this. i think what biden has been trying to do is bridge the gap between progress sives and the moderates to try to ensure they can get both bills passed. the danger is in the house. if there are three democrats in the house that don't support infrastructure package then it's not going to pass. republicans have been instructed to not support it even if it was a bipartisan bill. so it's really make a break.

i think the stakes are so high, i think it will go through. >> the story here is about this division within democrats, is it? >> yes, this is something that biden has had difficulty contending with. he's been using to make deals through long-term relationships where there is been a lot of trust building and that's how he's been able to make things happen in his long experience in the senate. >> you have a lot of new congress people who don't have these long-term relationships. you you have progressive caucus which has 96% members. they want to fight for a much bigger change in the u.s. they don't want these water down policies to continue and they feel like if they don't stand up for this and nothing is going to happen. >> sorry, in trying to flexible

on that. perhaps, they are creating no movement. >> right. that's the issue because the $3 $3.5 trillion, social safety net package will not pass unless there are some changes that are made. joe manchin, the democrats from west virginia have made it clear that they are not going to support the package in its form. >> now, that's just the reality. and though this water down version may really makes some of the progressives upset. the bill. there are some room for a compromise here. >> they can decide to restrict the eligibility for some of these social care packages. they can decide to limit the amount of years that they funded. >> and also they'll have discussions of how much they're going to tax people in order to get this bill passed. >> there are some room for

negotiations but it won't pass in its current form. >> for president biden though, this is huge. this is about his domestic agenda and about what he sees the future of america. >> right, this is his big agenda. this was tr biggest spending packet since world war ii. also, in order to fight climate change and bring people out of poverty is through a huge ambitious spending program. >> it's not going to happen and if one of these bills or both of these bills are not able to get through congress and so he knows it's important. that's why he's been holding long meetings with progressives and moderates to find a common ground on this. if it does not work, they'll get punished in the midterm.

as biden's popularity rate dips, it's below 50%. he's struggling at the moment. >> that does impact some of these other races. >> natasha and, thank you for your analysis. appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. chancellor merkel is stepping down. plus, the taliban put bodies on alleged criminal at display and move that hooks more like the taliban. >> they recently claimed today. that story is coming up. adding lysol laundry sanitizer kills 9999 %. lysol, whahat is takes to prote.

germans are heading to the polls right now. chancellor merkel is stepping down after nearly 16 years in power. the democratic union is hoping to stay in control. polling shows the race is too close to call. environmental concerns and economic worries have emerged as key issues. fred is in berlin. the climate is a pivotal issue, is it? >> yes, certainly is. that was one of the big criticisms of angela merkel of the past 16 years she has been in office. that's twofold if you look at it.

on the one hand is climate policies. but then it's also economic reform that would lead into that to turn one of the biggest s economies in the world into a green economy. germany has relied on automobile is there any and steel industry. it's difficult for the germans to pivot to something new. never the less, german voters understand something needs to be done and they want actions to happen very fast, here is what we learn. >> reporter: it was a moment of deadly issues for germany. flash flooding killing dozens and destroyed the entire town. the environment became german's most important concerns. >> we see now a steady rise

after the floods now where we are back to more than 50%. >> reporter: an issue that can make and break political campaign. christian democratic candidate drops in the polls while he was caught laughing on camera while the german spoke with victims. >> the green party topped the poll for a while and it sets strong showing for its strong environmental agenda. >> for the children and those of you who are 17, it makes a massive different who gets to be in this country for the future. >> reporter: the environment had not suddenly become the topic for the germans. germany long debated how to maintain the economy without

destroying the economy. >> the time to act is now. 250 years of economic industry. we change this in 25 years. this is really a big process. >> climate activists have become more vocal in recent years to tackle manmade climate change. calling for an end to diesel and gasoline powered cars and polluting industry. >> for our climate policies, we want to invest in in novnovatio. in the 16 years that merkel

governed germany, the company ditching nuclear energy and attempting to move towards p renewables. merkel acknowledged not a lot have been done to fight climate change. >> her biggest fraud is knowing all about the climate crisis and not doing anything and what has to be done? >> reporter: that task is left to merkel's successor as the germans public is making clear it wants action on climate change without delay. >> reporter: you can see robyn, all the candidates are keyed in on that, environmental agenda and all of them putting on their own things in case they go into the government, there are different ways to try to do that. you have the green party putting through a force full reform and you have the christian democrats. it's clear in this country that

reforms are badly needed. if look at both the environment, the last time germany has had a major economic and social reform was really before angela merkel took office. that led to some of the prosperity in this country. you can feel when you speak to people here at rallies and at polling stations and we have this morning as well and you can see that they certainly do understand this is a country that does need to change in certain ways to try to maintain that prosperity that has been so large for the country over the past year that angela and merkel been in office. >> that's political praguematicm there. >> be sure to stick with cnn as we continue. it's a story that we'll follow throughout the coming hours

here. the next hour we'll take a look at the legacy of angela merkel is leaving behind as she prepares to step down. fred mentions quite a bit of it and somehow she went from unknown and she's the longest serving chancellor and the most powerful woman in the world. i want to turn to afghanistan, a shocking images showing disturbing length. the video you are about to see is graphic and difficult to watch. crowds gathered after the taliban killed four alleged kidnappers and hung their bodies on display in different locations around the city. the men were accused of kidnapping and later freed by the taliban. >> these images are awful and they certainly give us a sense and afghans a sense of who their

new leaders really are. >> it really does harkens back the years where taliban were pr previously in control of afghanistan. execution and public stoning of women. they were happening of crowds gathering to watch that sends a chilling message throughout those who witnessed it and those who heard about it. in this case, particular those four men were killed as the taliban was carrying out an operation to try to free the merchants and his son. here is what the deputy governor had to say. >> around 12:45, the kidnappers were confronted. they clashed with our security

forces which resulted in one taliban being wounded and four kidnappers being killed. >> thank god, the businessman were rescued and handed to their family safe and sound. >> certainly to send a message to anyone else who may be thinking about carrying out a similar crime. the bodies of those four kidnappers were then hung in different locations in the city. this comes a month after something else slightly similar took place in another area. the city known as as mazai, there were four alleged kidnappers who were kidnapping children. they were killed and bodies were dumped in a public square again, again, sending a chilling message and also perhaps a warning to the population about how the taliban maybe aiming to govern afghanistan.

>> with that in mind, what's the situation right now on the ground? >> what's the humanitarian accolade? >> very difficult vand very dir. organizations on the ground who are trying to carry out their program but our by and large are unable to do so. you really hear the frustration and decesperation of their voic. they do know millions of people are in desperate need of aid and children are on the brink of starvation. and yet they are unable to service the population for a number of different reasons and ranging from trying to navigate and afghanistan and the landscape under the taliban trying to figure out what the rules and regulations are to the plethora of challenges and getting aid into the country, yes, money had been pledged but not trail plated into actual

food, medical supplies arriving in afghanistan and into the hands of those who need them. when we talk about humanitarian assistance, it goes beyond food or water and baby milk. it's things like getting mobile clinks and up and moving. a lot of populations were being serviced by these organizations. they rely on these mobile clinics for anything from basic care to children to women e's needs and any number of the population desperately need. i was speaking to one of the leading aide organizations on the ground. the person i was speaking to is saying they want to maintain a low profile because they are not sure what the rules are at this stage but while all of this was being figured out and meeting

was happening. people and children were at risk of dying and starving. >> paula damon. live in istanbul. two canadians are back at home. you can see them landing. this is images of them. what you see them here flew onto tor toronto. cnn's huawei was taking down in china which she received a red carpet reception. >> reporter: as an ordinary chinese citizens who have suffered the price of being stranded overseas for 23 years. the mother land and the people.
