[ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. [ bleep ]. >> wow. >> disturbing. >> terrifying to see just what they went through there. at this point we understand none of the injuries are life threatening. several people taken to hospital with broken bones. we'll bring you any new developments as we learn more information. >> certainly. just happened a few hours ago. >>> other stories that we're following. 2,000 people have left the migrant caravan that was headed for the u.s. they're now back in honduras. that according to the honduran foreign ministry. the country's president is promising to offer jobs, aide, assistance to those who came back. >> but there are still hundreds of men, women, children, people continuing their very desperate journey north. take a look at the scene on the bridge. that on the border of guatemala and mexico on saturday. at least 640 people crossed the border and registered for asylum. still, many more are trying to get through. keep in mind, the u.s. president has threatened to cut aide and to send u.s. troops to the u.s. border with mexico if mexico fails to stop the surge of mieg glands. >> you can see there on the bridge the gate that was up trying to stop them. they were stuck on that bridge. patrick ottman is there on the bridge. here he is. >> reporter: some crossed into mexico from guatemala by boat. others waited or swam just barely. the thousands of migrants, mostly hondurans, said they were fleeing poverty and violence. many looking to reunite with loved ones. brian came across on a boat a week after being deported where he had lived for most of his life and left behind a wife and daughter y. do you need to bet back? >> my daughter. that's the first thing. i didn't be have my dad when i was a kid at all and i don't want the same for her. >> on friday they stopped the caravan of immigrants dead in their tracks. the bridge became a holding cell, one without bathrooms, water, or mercy from the brutal sun where the crush of migrants waiting to see if they could pass. finally this woman with her three children couldn't take it anymore. the truth is, we're all going to jump in the river, she says, and keep going forward. mexican police watched as the migrants took to the river, but this time didn't try to stop them. so this is what desperation has driven people to. they were not able to cross the bridge so now they've come across on rafts, heavily loaded, some of them with small kids carrying all they have on their back and now they're going to get off here finally on the mexican side and continue the journey north. >> maria fled the violence years ago. she's come to the river to see if he crosses here. he was in a caravan and his phone died days ago. i'm worried because he told me to wait for him by the river, she says. until he comes, i will stay here. after a week traveling many migrants are out of money and hope is fading, but they say they have no chase but to continue on. >> we will continue to follow that story of course. >> absolutely. >>> the u.s. president, his story ahead. his curious relationship with the media likes some, doesn't like others, but when he calls, obviously there are stories that we follow. we will of course tell you this trump media blitz that's happening. stay with us. to breathe. so, to breathe better, i go with anoro. ♪go your own way copd tries to say, "go this way." i say, "i'll go my own way, with anoro." ♪go your own way once-daily anoro contains two medicines called bronchodilators that work together to significantly improve lung function all day and all night. anoro is not for asthma. it contains a type of medicine that increases risk of death in people with asthma. the risk is unknown in copd. anoro won't replace rescue inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than once a day. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, glaucoma, prostate, bladder or urinary problems. these may worsen with anoro. call your doctor if you have worsened breathing, chest pain, mouth or tongue swelling, problems urinating, vision changes or eye pain while taking anoro. ask your doctor about anoro. ♪go your own way see if you're eligible pay no more than $10 a month. see if you're eligible ♪ ♪ daddy, mommy's on the phone! hi! how are you guys?

you mentioned that we're getting used to this. well, if you're just used to, oh, it's just the u.s. president calling the news media fake news, calling them out in front of a rally and his supporters love it, what danger is there in that, the dismissal of journalism and the job of journalism. >> sure. let's not forget the fact that he's called the press the enemy of the state. i think there is danger in that because it encourages and condones violence against journalists, attacks on journalists. i think all of us who write with our names on our articles are familiar with comebacks from the submerged 20% of readers who want to use this, they use the president's terminology against us. it doesn't keep us from doing our jobs, but i think what's particularly germ main in the jamal khashoggi case is that it seemed very likely that trump's approach to all these issues encouraged the saudis to think they could get away with this in the most outrageous sort of attack. this was a murder. let's not just say it was the death of jamal khashoggi, he was murdered and the turks certainly haven't been that shy in talking about that. so i think that's a real danger. people who follow trump, that includes the saudi regime, think that he's encouraging this or at least that he's willing to condone it. and we certainly saw that in the speech he gave about greg jadforde, who assaulted a reporter and in fact is a criminal. he was convicted. he pleaded guilty to criminal assault and yet here's trump praising him not for anything he's done in congress but for violence. so, yeah, i think there's a danger in that people will think that they've got the green light to do things like this. >> let's talk about something else that has broken, michael, in the past 24 hours. we learned that the justice department was charging a woman for information warfare. she was charged with conspiracy with the u.s. and trying to get people to use social media prior to the mid term elections. it seems russians are still trying to infiltrate the american democratic system. what advice would you give people in trying to sort truth from fiction and from manipulation when there are m i myriad of voices on social media? >> that's a good question. people have learned how to read, how to understand the sources that they get information from. they learn how to read their newspapers. they know where their newspapers are coming from, they know where their radio commentators are coming from. i think the degree to which this is focused in social media is a new phenomenon and it's taken the public longer to separate the wheat from the chaffe, fact from fiction. i think people are learning that more and more and i think really this is going to be a problem for social media platforms like facebook and twitter because their credibility is at stake. we have certain certainly in terms of facebook that they've been very, very slow and very poor at managing that aspect of their business. it's not going to be good for them. i think that on the fringe people may be swayed by the sort of information that russian bots are purveying. i think, once again, this is another case in which president trump is condoning it, is giving the green light to russians interfering in our elections so they are going to continue to try to do it, and that's certainly a danger. i don't know how this is going to all play out. i don't think anybody does. >> no. >> i think over time people will learn not to trust what they read on social media. >> thank you. we appreciate your insights so much. michael hiltzik, thank you for the work you do and carry on. thanks. >> thank you. >>> next story about tons of plastic littering the ocean. one group thinks it has an invention that would change a lot. the new capital one savor card. earn 4% cash back on dining and 4% on entertainment. now when you go out, you cash in. what's in your wallet?

>> one sea turtle. >> look at all of that plastic. >> reporter: our oceans are teaming with plastic but an audacious new plan to clean them up is just getting started. there are approximately 150 million tons of plastic in the world's oceans, and a recent u.k. report predicts that number will triple in the next decade. pieces of plastic can kill sea life, threaten fishing and negatively affect our health when they end up in food. >> that plastic will be there in one year, ten years, probably going to still be there in 100 years. only if we go out there and clean it up this amount of plastic is going to go down. >> reporter: one young dutch inventor and his team have their sights set on solving the plastic problem. how? meet wilson, aka system 1. it's an almost 2,000 foot long floating pipe with a net happening below, no motors, no anchor, no crew. >> if you look around the world there's plastic on the beaches. the wind is propelling the system through the area such that the open end of the u is going forward. >> catcher's mitt for ocean plastic. >> exactly. every couple of months there is a boat coming, like a garbage truck in the ocean, that takes the plastics back on to shore. >> it's a seemingly simple solution to a complicated problem. >> reporter: are these the tubes that we see out there? >> yeah. so we have the floater at the top. that keeps it afloat but prevents plastic from going over it while we have the screen underneath it that prevents plastic from going under it. we don't have anything that can entangle marine life. all the plastic remains. you have a ton of support and there are critics who say you guys are skimming the surface of this problem and you're not dealing with micro plastics. >> 92% of the plastic are not micro plastic. >> it's not micro plastics yet. >> right. it's kinds of a ticking time bomb. the sooner we get that out the better. >> reporter: on september 8th they towed the system out of the san francisco bay. they billed it as the largest cleanup in history. that's because they're starting with the great pacific garbage patch, a floating mass of trash, more than twice the size of texas. >> people do care. they want this problem solved which makes me hopeful that if we get this working we can get it to scale. >> reporter: he says the first haul is expected to come back in months. the group plans to make consumer products from the patch. >> we've made this from the great pacific garbage patch. >> reporter: but the ultimate goal, to clean up 90% of ocean plastic by 2040. >> there's no way to clean it up, the best way to deal with it is not to make it worse. >> an ambitious project to be sure. meantime, of course, the big issue is if we're still putting more plastic in the ocean. >> right. >> if consumers are using it, it's just going to keep compounding. >> people have to make that decision just not to use it, straws, things like that. stop using it altogether. >> stop drinking water in plastic bottles is a big one. >> yeah. sure. >>> well, the invictus games, they're off to a spectacular start in australia. the opening ceremonies held at the opera house in sydney. the guest of honor, prince harry, led the festivities. he created them in 2014 for wounded military veterans. >> he created it and is still going strong being very hands on with 500 service members from 18 countries taking part as the duke of sussex and his pregnant wife meghan looked on. they are on their first royal tour abroad. they earlier attended a reception inside the opera house. the duchess skipped another event saying that she was tired. one can understand. she's on a world tour and she is newly pregnant. we'll all continue to follow along on their journey. thanks for watching cnn "newsroom." i'm natalie allen. >> i'm george howell. for viewers in the u.s., "new day" is next. around the world "world sail" is up. robicsnear this b goat yoga at this mountain resort?
