Reporter the pentagon announcing that Muhsin Al Fadhli was killed by a u. S. Drone strike on july 8th while he was riding in a vehicle west of aleppo. This had been somebody the u. S. Had been looking for a very long time. The Khorasan Group said to be having the aspiration, the desire to launch external attacks against the United States al fadhli a long time operative of khorasan. It is said that he is one of the few al qaeda operatives who had advance word of the 9 11 attacks and in 2002 he was involved in terrorist attack planning against u. S. Marines in kuwait and a french cargo ship. This is someone that they were looking for. What is most intriguing, this is what the pentagon calls a targeted strike. They knew when day launched that missile off a drone over Northern Syria that he was in the vehicle at the time. It says a lot, perhaps about the u. S. Ability to conduct Reconnaissance Missions in that area where it has no troops on the ground. Barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon.

Reporter both men appeared in front of the westminsters Magistrates Court on tuesday and both have been identified. One man is 22yearold Shazib Ahmed Khan and the other is his nephew nephew junead khan. When the charges were read out, some details were also given as to how this plot was apparently supposed to unfold. The talk was a hit and run style attack or a car accident style attack where apparently mr. Khan wanted to hit a u. S. Service member with the car and kill him using a knife. Allegedly there was also a talk of using a suicide vest as well and also he was apparently talking about killing a British Service member but he preferred to kill americans. No further details were given at this point in time. The two men were arrested on july 14th. This happened in the northern to the north of london in luton. There was a third man arrested with them but he has been released from custody without any charges against him. The two men will remain in custody until their trial starts.

Service members last week. He had been searching about martyrdom as recently as two days before the attack. And abdulazeez agreed with the teachings of anwar al awlaki. On tuesday pope francis had strong words for the more than 60 mayors who attended the event, particularly on Human Trafficking. The United Nations really needs to take a very strong position on this issue, particularly the trafficking of human beings that are caused by this environmental situation and the exploitation of people. Lets bring in our vatican correspondent Delia Gallagher joining us this morning from rome. Great to see you. We heard the pope speaking about Human Trafficking and said that the decisions to combat Climate Change should be on our collective conscious. What else was said . Reporter yesterday was a chance for the mayors to speak. They had ten minutes each to talk about whats happening in their cities to discuss the laws they enacted with regard to Climate Change and with regard to Human Trafficking and share some of their stories with one another. We heard from the mayor of madrid who said its not enough to enact laws and they have to set a good example. So a lot of stories were shared yesterday and of course they had an opportunity to meet the pope. He said a few words to them. Let take a look at what he had to say. Mayors and governors from around the world applaud pope francis as he signs a declaration calling for bold action on modern slavery. Part of a twoday vatican summit on Climate Change and Human Trafficking. A conference paper explains that quote, Global Warming is one of the causes of poverty and forced my graduation, therefore pope francis sees the two issues as interconnected emergencies. Translator its not a green encyclical its a social encyclical. Because in the social life of people we the not creation is not well cared for is the disproportionate growth of cities. Its a global phenomenon. Its as if the heads, the big cities get bigger but always with rings of more poverty and misery. Romes mayor faced the issue of human traffic head on. Translator slavery still exists. It assumes many forms and affects people of every age, sex and background. Reporter pope francis expressed the hope that the United Nations would take a strong position on trafficking and says he has great hope on the summit in paris in december hoping that a basic fundamental agreement is reached. And one of the other things that the pope says that is that the holy see can give speeches but you are on the ground able to reach out to those most marginalized. This is the second day of the conference. Its set to get underway shortly. What should we expect . Reporter today, they are focusing on the Sustainable Development goals that are going to be discussed at a summit at the u. N. In september. The pope will be addressing that summit. This is something that the vatican has been focused on. It has to do with eradicating poverty and fair jobs and Climate Change. All of those topics are going to be involved in the symposium today at the vatican. All right, Delia Gallagher live for us in rome. Thanks. Our freedom project highlights the fight against slavery and Human Trafficking. We want to show you a clip from the documentary where Jada Pinkett Smith introduces us to rachel a sex trafficking survivors who explains that sometimes the strip clubs in the u. S. Are fronts for brothels. For me being a woman means being educated and being able to stand on your own. And young people now feel that to be an independent woman and getting the lifestyle you want you get on that stripper pole. I dont remember a time in my life where i didnt know what sex was. Reporter rachels journey into the life started very early. I do think that it does go back to being abused young at a young age. And at the age of 7 i was introduced to pornography. Reporter like thousands of children each year, rachel was sexually abused and didnt get the help she needed. Im from a small town in georgia. As the years passed i continued a destructive lifestyle that everybody i nored. She is rebellious and has problems. Reporter her destructive lifestyle soon landed her in a strip club. For me it took about a year and i started being exploited by the club management. I was told you can make more money this way. Reporter this way meant giving the men much more than a lap dance. The club that i worked at i would tell everybody its a modern day brothel. You come in and they would say, oh i want an africanamerican girl. I want a small girl. I want a girl who looks underage.

A gay couple is battling to take their daughter home to the u. S. After she was born in thailand as a surrogate. The couple is living in hiding with their two children in bangkok hoping that the courts will rule in their favorite. A huge smile from baby carmen 6monthold unwittingly in the center of the world of thai surrogacy. Under the law he needs the approval of the surrogate mother who gave birth to her using an egg donor. I have no legal rights over carmen. And the woman who gives birth has all legal rights and we have been terrified from day one that she, the Police Social Services would try to take carmen from us. Lake and his husband believe that the surrogate decided to keep the baby because she found out they were gay. The woman denies that, saying she only cares about carmens safety. Translator i miss her every day. You see how cruel the world is today and i just dont know what they are going to the with my baby. Reporter she says she never agreed to give the baby to lake and filed complaints with the thai police and the u. S. Embassy. I will fight to tend in the court. Reporter lake says that the surrogate signed paperwork at the hospital and only changed her mind when he went to get a passport for the baby. After a series of scandals the Thai Military has outlawed surrogates for foreigners. In one case Police Suspect one 25yearold japanese man of fathering 25 children through surrogacy. Far from their homes and their jobs lake and their husband are forced to raise money online. Their main hope is that the surrogacy law does not take effect until july. But it defines parents as a husband and wife. We are pretty confident that the courts are what they are going to do is take the best interests of carmen into account. In our mind there is not a possibility that we can lose carmen. I mean shes our daughter. And our daughter belongs with us. Reporter they are determined to stay in thailand until they can leave with carmen. No matter how long it takes. A happy child there and a very complicated issue in thailand. They are there for the long haul to see this through. Keep our eyes on. That. Dash cam video shows a tense confrontation between a state trooper and a driver in texas. But it is also raising more questions. Plus more fireworks from republican president ial front runner donald trump. You know it.

Authorities took it away after he was arrested in 2011. He is a vocal critic on the states stance on human rights. Feel like we have been saying this each day this week but donald trump is turning heads again in his latest feud this time with u. S. Republican president ial candidate lindsay graham. In a rally in grahams home state South Carolina on tuesday with millions of people watching on National Television trump gave out the senators private phone number the one that no one is supposed to have. And thats not the only spat he is caught up in at the moment. Dana bash has the story. Reporter donald trump unbowed by a barrage of criticism. They say they didnt like the way that you know im a little loud. Im a little too strong. They dont like it. Reporter the reality tv star with a flair for drama took president ial politics to another area. And i see your senator what a stiff. Reporter responding to fellow republican president ial candidate Lindsey Graham saying this to cnn. He is becoming a jackass. And he calls me a jackass. Reporter standing in South Carolina trump retaliated by read eight loud the senators personal cell phone number. I found the card. I wrote the number down. Lets try it. Reporter we asked why. Why did you read Lindsey Grahams cell phone number . So people can call him so he can get something done. Reporter graham unable to be reached by cell responded through his Campaign Manager saying that trump is showing that he is ill prepared to be commander in chief. All this amid a back and forth with iowas largest newspaper whose Editorial Board called for him to pull the plug on his bloviating side show and trump shot back by the newspapers sagging sales. He seems to be buoyed by the personal warfare and crowds like this. All told the main auditorium and the overflow room. Many in this Retirement Community waited for hours to get in. He has a set of balls. He is a doer. Hes terrific. He tells the truth. Reporter not everyone is a supporter. He scares me. But you are still here . Hes a celebrity. Reporter despite causing so much controversy about john mccains war service some veterans here came to hear him. He just disappointed me. I w offended. But i was disappointed. Reporter its not a deal breaker . No not yet. Reporter why is that . Too far to go. The man has tremendous background. He obviously has a great ability to delegate. He can make a decision on the spot. But it also gets him in trouble. Reporter as for graham he did try to make light of trumps cell phone stunt by saying in a tweet, probably getting a new phone, iphone or android. That would be an upgrade for graham who only communicates by phone. He doesnt text or email and currently has a flip phone. Dana bash cnn, South Carolina. We want to look at where trump stands on key issues. On immigration he said he would build a wall. On isis he says he will bomb the oil fields that feed cash to isis. On jobs he said he would bring jobs back from china and several other countries and promised to repeal and replace obamacare and end the common Core Educational standards. Ron brownstein joins me now. So much to talk about. But we thought at this point in time lets look at what seems to be the republicans worst nightmare, what a Trump America would look like. We talked about the policies there, is that in keeping with some of what americans want to hear on some of these issues right now . There is a part of the Republican Base that does want to hear it. Two caveats at the start is we are unlikely to experience a donald Trump America. Most americans have said they will not consider him for president and i think the clearest impact of the controversies is to narrow his potential base of support and put a ceiling on. That second you know, in the time hes been commenting on Public Affairs over the course of his Business Career he has taken both positions on every major issue. Its hard to know where his center of gravity is. But having said that he has evolved in this race into a fairly conventional very conservative republican. He is pretty much up and down the line with conservative views, expressed in more vitriolic terms but he is articulating the preferences on immigration, skepticism of trade, opposition to obamacare that animate the most ideologically cutting edge of the Republican Base. For everyone though, who doesnt want to take donald trump seriously, can it be argued that in fact he is moving the Republican Party exactly where he wants them . That through all this name calling at the same time he is moving policy issues to where he wants them even if he doesnt become the republican candidate or become president . I think thats a really good point. You know, whats happening what donald trump is doing is energizing and coalescing an existing strain in the Republican Party. The Party Divides between a College Educated white collar managerial side that is looking for someone to cut taxes, cut regulation cut spend bug not necessarily to usher in a revolution. The other half of the party is more blue collar, evangelical, tea party, rural. It isdy affected from many of the things happening in American Life from the demographic change and the cultural change. They want someone to go to washington not so much to manage it but to throw rocks through the window. And trump is energizing that portion of the party. In the end this you is unlikely to be the nominee but he is creating a dynamic where the party is going to have to respond more to those sentiments than it anticipated when the campaign began. That is a challenge in the general election. Ron, well continue to talk about this. Appreciate it. Thank you. Lets talk about barack obama. He is showing off his skills as comedian in chief on the daily show. People look forward to his appearances on this show. Mr. Obama had a little fun at the expense of donald trump. Im sure the republicans are enjoying mr. Trumps dominance anything that makes them look less crazy. Mr. Obama struck a more serious tone when he talked about the nuclear deal with iran. He is trying to convince members of congress to support that agreement. This is an adversary. They are antiamerican, antisemitic. They support hezbollah. Sounds like a good partner for peace. Probably as has been said frequently you dont make peace with your friends. Mr. Obama joked he issued an executive order to keep jon stewart from leaving the daily show. And hopefully it will be just as enjoyable and funny as all these years with mr. Stewart. Apple posts a record quarter. 50 billion in revenue but investors were buying it. Coming up we explain the reason behind the slip in the shares. A traffic stop in texas escalates into a heated showdown. The woman at the center of this is dead. We get a look at the dash cam video for the first time. Im going the yank you out of here. You going to yank me out of my car . Okay. All right. Lets do this. Were going to. Yeah. Welcome back. Im glad you joined us here youre watching cnn newsroom. Im paula newton. Im errol barnett. Its your last half hour of the day with the two of hour. Chinese artist and activist ai weiwei has his passport back. Authorities took his passport away after he was arrested in 2011. He is a vocal critic on beijings stance on democracy and human rights. The u. S. Says that it has killed a veteran terror leader in syria. It says they killed Muhsin Al Fadhli on july 8th. He was the leader of the Khorasan Group an offshoot of al qaeda. The vatican is holding a summit on Climate Change and modern day slavery. The pope said that the issues are connected and called on the u. N. To take action against Human Trafficking. In texas, the arrest video of a woman who later died in Police Custody is raising a lot of questions. Normally the videos are supposed to shed light on what happened. Not happened here. There are irregularities in it. Some say it appears to have been edited. The video shows a tense confrontation between the state trooper and the driver sandra bland. She died three days later in jail. The police say she committed suicide and her family disagrees. Reporter we were able to get access to Sandra Blands cell number 95 and see where Authorities Say she hanged herself inside that cell. They havent touched much of it. You got a sense of what she was dealing with in those three days leading to her death. Im giving you a lawful order. Reporter we are seeing Police Dash Cam video of Sandra Blands arrest. You are going to yank me out of my car reporter pulled over for failing to use her turn signal you can hear the tense confrontation. We have procedures in place and he did not comply with those procedures. One of them is letting the individual know in terms of what actions is going to be taken. Reporter but what the video doesnt show is a struggle that was captured by a witness with a cell phone which shows bland pinned to the ground and screaming shes a victim of excessive force. Bland was arrested in brought here to the Waller County jail. Three days later she was found dead hanging in her cell. Surveillance video shows no one walk down the hall to enter or leave her cell before she was found dead. This is cell 95. The food is still sitting here. The bed is still in the same arrangement it was left in. But there is a lot of attention being paid to this trash liner. This is what is believed that was used to string up here and for sandra bland to hang herself. There were four female inmates three and a half feet across from her. They gave statements. Nobody did anything to her. Right. And you know and based on that there absolutely a tragic incident here of her committing suicide. Reporter but state officials and the fbi are investigating the case and the District Attorney is treating her death as a Murder Investigation and blands family says the 28yearold would not have taken her own life. Seven days later, i still dont know what happened to my baby sister. Reporter this remains a very active and involved investigation. You can split this into two separate incidents, what happened at that traffic stop and what happened at that cell. A lot of people are calling for the d. O. J. Investigation, the fbi and Texas Rangers are investigating to see what happened here but this is far from being over. Ryan young, cnn, prairie view, texas. We have posted some of the Police Dash Cam video from the arrest on our website. You can watch it at cnn. Com. In washington republican members of congress will get a briefing today on the iran nuclear deal. U. S. Secretary of state john kerry will lead the delegation.

Three Party Lawmakers were sacked in a Cabinet Reshuffle after voting against the first package reform. It was the opposition that helped the Prime Minister to get the reforms through. Lets Talk Technology now. Shares in the tech giant apple took a dive fallerman than 6 3 4 in afterhours trading even though reporting 49. 6 billion in revenue. They are epic numbers. Apple sold 47. 5 iphones. The company didnt reveal any sales data for its heavily promoted apple watch. And now a Senior Writer for cnet news joins us via webcam from san francisco. With revenue of 49 to 51 billion why are some on wall street down beat on the numbers . Its what any other company would die for. Yeah for apple it just wasnt the blowout that everybody has really come to expect. Ever since they launched the iphone 6 they have just been reporting these crazy quarters. Tons of demand for their new phones. This time they didnt sell as many iphones as everybody was expecting and their forecast for the Current Quarter was weaker than what analysts are looking for. Lets get into the why there. It was 47. 5 million phones sold in the recent quarter. Thats a 35 jump from last year. Apparently people are spending more per device on these apple iphones than before. But just explain why that enthusiasm is expected to top out now. So this quarter is always apples weakest. Its kind of in between the dads and grads season and the back to school season. And the biggest thing that hurts this quarter every time is that people know theres a new iphone thats going to be coming in september. If you are looking to buy a new phone it doesnt make a ton of sense to go out right now and purchase a new iphone. Even if you want the iphone 6, in september it will be cheaper with the new one coming out. That is something that has always really hurt apple. Their predictable has worked against them. The hope was this time that china and some of the other markets would kind of lessen that difference a little bit. But you know it just wasnt quite as good as what wall street was expecting. Joining us from san francisco, thanks for your time today. Thanks a lot. Britains royal family is celebrating a birthday today.

Now heavy rain and flash flooding has hit northern iran since sunday. Ivan cabrera is here with more. I was looking over your shoulder as you do Pay Attention more than some folks. I didnt like what i was seeing. Most of the weather internationally is going to be the stuff that is not going to be good here. But we had Tour De France last time and now we get to serious weather in iran. Look at this. I mean it just doesnt get worse than that. Homes into the river there. The topography has a lot to do with this. This is northeast of tehran. We had seen upwards of 120 millimeters of rainfall in the last few days. You can see the setup in the valley. And you have the river running through it with all that water funneling in has nowhere to go. And we had problems along the riverside. Scattered showers in the next few days. Not the torrential downpours of the last few days. And it shouldnt be raining that hard. We had a weather system move through. And further east this is torrential rain. You were talking about the tallies getting up to half a meter of water. 17 inches here. Japan getting in on rain as well. And china it has been raining prolifically over the last several months. 100 to 400 mill meters in the last couple days. For japan there is a tropical connection. This is typhoon halola. 140 kilometer winds. By the time it gets to japan it will have weaker winds. I think we will have issues with the wind but it will be mainly a rain event by the time it gets to the weekend. Thanks very much. Voters went to the polls tuesday in burundi.

The photographer photographed Princess Charlotte following her christening. Max foster joins us from london. Im worried about that brooding cooing from you. Its motherly. Your husband needs to know about this. I have two children. Max has three. And for that reason he thinks im always in this competition. You are trying to yeah lets move on to the royal baby, okay . Max, im going to blush. This baby is adorable. Yes, i am brooding. But, the point here is that this is just a picture and there are more pictures released. In terms of them is it a bit of an outing for this kid in the sense that we have seen more of the royal family and they are making an effort to get out there a little more. The pictures are amazing. They are realizing the power of prince george. He has a charisma that works on camera. They have this media strategy which is effectively to put out their own pictures that they take and organize. They own the copy right and put them out on their social media streams first. The first time we saw it on their twitter and instagram accounts. In the past they give it to us first and we put it out there. While it feels as if they are putting more images out there and giving more access i think actually theyre not. These are pictures that were taken around Princess Charlottes christening and have been delayed in release to now. And it feels like we are closer to them because they are speaking to the royal fans. Its an interesting strategy that does seem to be working. But they are help bud the charisma that their little guys got. The strategy, release the images give the media and paula what she wants so the family can live privately and not deal with what was dealt with years ago. Reporter fundamentally today is prince georges birthday and they are spending it privately. They havent told us where they are spending it privately. But there is an awareness that there is an interest. They saved this photo from the christening in a wellthought out process so they could sit right now. It does give the media something to show and to illustrate the birthday with. But were not getting anything new here. But i think as long as the public gets regular updates on how their future king is doing theyre probably going to be satisfied. We know what happens on a second birthday you get the kid wound up and give them cake and there is a tantrum. It is probably best hidden. This is the most wellbehaved moment right there. Look how angelic he looks. Max, thank you so much. That is great. Go for it. Errol is not enthused about the baby picture. Kids dont thrill me yet. Youre watching cnn newsroom. Im paula newton.
