[03:00:00] (COMMERCIAL BREAK)

ROSEMARY CHURCH, CNN ANCHOR: Ministers from the U.K., France, and Germany meet at the Euro tunnel this hour hoping to find a solution to the migrant crisis there.

Plus, CNN gives you a rare look at what life is like in prison for Oscar Pistorius.

And Donald Trump targets Hillary Clinton along with an amendment to the U.S. constitution in a sit down interview with CNN.

Hello and welcome to our viewers here in the United States and viewers all around the world. I'm Rosemary Church. This is "CNN Newsroom."

And we begin with the migrant crisis that deepens by the day. Within the hour a number of European officials will meet to take action. French, British, and German government ministers first will head to the channel tunnel in Calais and later they will discuss the fight against human smuggling.

For more on this, we turn now to Ian Lee. He is live in London. So Ian, what are some of the solutions that might come out of these meetings, do you think?

IAN LEE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: What we're hearing from officials is that they're going to have this joint command and control center to help with security on the French side of the crossing over into the U.K. There's going to be extra police. There's going to be extra fencing. One thing, though that they're going to go after are smugglers. They are trying to dismantle the networks that are bringing the migrants and refugees to that area in France, Calais and try to prevent them getting there initially but they also are going to beef up the security around the entrance to the tunnels - the tunnels that leads to the U.K. Things being mentioned are, again, extra fences, extra police officers. They're going to have flood lights, infrared cameras, all to stop people from trying to cross over into the U.K. Extra policing as well. They're going to be going over to the area that is called the jungle where about 3,000 migrants are being camping out right now. And every night we see them try to make this very dangerous crossing into the U.K.

Rosemary? CHURCH: And Ian, what about trying to get to the core of the problem,

why so many of these people are trying to get through and across into the tunnel?

LEE: Well, that ultimately, it would be the goal. But it is incredibly difficult. These people are coming from all over the world. You have them coming from Iran, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Syria. These people are coming from Wartorn countries looking for a better life talking to the people in the camp.

We are hearing stories of really, horror of escaping bombs and conflict and so these people - for them to stop coming to really stem this tide of migrants you have to get to the root cause of the problem and that is these conflicts and problems in their home countries and countries of origin which is just is a very difficult task.

So right now these ministers are going to be meeting trying to confront this initial problem. Obviously this is resolving the conflicts back home are something that diplomats would love to do but it is going to take time.

CHURCH: It is certainly a challenging situation. Ian Lee reporting there live from London. Many thanks to you.

Hundreds more migrants are arriving in the poor city of Calais in Greece, they are coming from the Island of Kos which is struggling to deal with the influx of refugees. Almost 21,000 migrants arrived in Greece just last week alone.

CNN Senior International Correspondent Arwa Damon went to the Turkish coast where many migrants begin their journey to get into Europe and here's her report on their often dangerous trip.

ARWA DAMON, CNN CORRESPONDENT: A rubber dinghy packed with migrants takes on the Turkish coast guard. Ignoring the coast guard's horn, glaring spotlights and orders to return to shore, then lost from view. Just before dawn we are on the same waters. That's the boat that we were filming.

[03:05:00] The Turkish coast guard asked our captain for help towing the migrants to shore. They are Syrian shouting that they don't have a motor anymore and want to return to dry land. Help us, help us, the men cry out as our captain tosses a rope. The coast guard had chased them for two hours and finally, the migrants say, threatened to sink their boat if they did not drop their motor. Then the coast guard towed the dinghy as close to shore as their ship would allow. 60 migrants crammed together clutching their life vests and inner tubes their faces telling of tragedy and dejection but also the relief of still being alive when so many have perished.

On shore, most disappear into waiting taxis. One young man bitterly says if death wasn't chasing us, we would not be trying this. All night they had been aiming for the twinkling lights of the Greek Island of Kos in the distance, their gateway to Europe. Now a dream left for another day.

Arwa Damon, CNN, Turkey.

CHURCH: A spokesman for Thailand's military hunter says the deadly Bangkok bombing is unlikely to be linked to international terrorism. That's after the tie police chief announced at least 10 people were involved in Monday's attack and that it had been planned for at least a month. I asked CNN's Saima Mohsin how police came to the new number.

SAIMA MOHSIN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: To be honest Rosemary, I'm not really sure how they know it. The information coming from the police has been sketchy. We are working incredibly a lot - a lot of updates Wednesday late evening, so last night for us here, coming from the police directly to myself and the team here. But we don't know beyond that how they believe that there are more than 10 people involved. I guess they're trying to figure out how someone could plan some - this kind of sophisticated bomb, how they could have made it, how they could have decided where to put it. And that's why they're deciding it's more than one person.

I'll tell you what they told me directly. Now, they believe that the man in the yellow t-shirt was not operating alone. He has two accomplices at least inside the shrine at the time. If we show you around there, and there is a barrier there, that's where the bomb went off. Now that man in the yellow t-shirt planted the bomb there.

And in front of him, Rosemary, clearly on CCTV footage there are two men who stand up right in front of him. One wearing a red t-shirt and one wearing a white t-shirt. Now, police tell me, the police spokesman told me himself that he believes they are two accomplices who were there with him deciding where to plant it and standing around him to protect him and hide him while he was planting that bomb.

CHURCH: Saima Mohsin there. And the Thai government is offering almost $14,000 to the families of those killed in the bombing. 20 people were killed and more 120 were wounded.

I wanted to turn to Egypt now where a powerful car bomb has rocked a northern suburb of Cairo. Witnesses across several neighborhoods in Egypt's capital city say they heard that explosion. Some were actually jolted awake by it. The blast happened near a national security building and a courthouse. The Egyptian interior ministry officials say the driver parked the car in front of the building and was picked up by someone on a motorcycle and fled the scene. The nation's health ministry says 29 people were wounded in that blast.

There is a beefed up police presence in St. Louis, Missouri after a fatal police shooting triggered renewed unrest.

Police fired smoke and tear gas at protesters to disperse them. Nine people were arrested. Demonstrators have gathered where police shot and killed an African-American suspect earlier. Police say the 18- year-old pointed a gun at officers when day arrived with a search warrant. An investigation into the shooting is underway. The police chief says the demonstrations began peacefully.

SAM DOTSON, ST. LOUIS POLICE CHIEF: We cleared the interaction as I've said, and that was done peacefully. Officers in regular uniform without shields, without sticks went into the area. We made a couple of arrests at that point and peace was restored. Officers left the area. And as soon as we left the group came back into the intersection and began to march. It wasn't until later in the evening when they marched through the center west and along Kings highway and took over the intersection. That's when glass bottles and bricks were being thrown at the officers and they had to block them with the shields that they had.

CHURCH: The police chief says a car was set on fire and some businesses were broken into. This image shows police and firefighters at a burning building.

[03:10:00] All right, to South Africa now where the justice minister has ordered a review of the pending parole of Oscar Pistorius. The disgraced Olympic athlete now likely won't be released from prison into house arrest on Friday as had been widely expected.

Pistorius has served 10 months for culpable homicide in the killing of his model girlfriend Reeva Steenkamp. And for the very latest now we turn to David McKenzie. He joins me from Johannesburg in South Africa.

So interesting turn of events David, explain to us why they've reviewed this and also, we understand, there's an inside look at life for Oscar Pistorius in prison.

DAVID MCKENZIE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Rosemary, I think it's even more dramatic than interesting turn of events, it's a major turnaround at the 11th hour that the justice and correctional services minister here in South Africa effectively - put the brakes on this release of Oscar Pistorius into effectively house arrest.

So now, we don't know exactly when he will be released if he will be released. The minister said that he's going to put it back to the parole board. He said he was petitioned by a women's group saying it was bad form to release Oscar Pistorius during women's month here in South Africa. And so, we don't know when he will be released, if he will be released but he will spend more time in prison and we are getting a rare look into what that time in prison is like.

An unlikely soccer match-up of Oscar Pistorius and a Czech mob boss. They shared a prison wing for a time. This cell phone footage a rare look inside Pistorius's 10 months locked away until now.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He said it feels unbelievable.

MCKENZIE: Their job is to listen to prisoner concerns. They talked to more than 40 a day. One of their assigned inmates, Oscar Pistorius.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The first time I went to see him he is...

MCKENZIE: Just a few days ago they went behind the prison walls to meet with Pistorius for the final time. They say his demeanor has changed. UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Now we can sit down and discuss and laugh at the

same time.

MCKENZIE: Their manager at the independent judicial inspectorate sees hundreds of recent prisoners complaints each day and he saw more than a few from Pistorius.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He complained he needed a bath. He wanted a bath. And correctional services supplied him with a bath because he couldn't shower. And he complained about his bed and they replaced his bed for him.

MCKENZIE: A world-class athlete, Pistorius complained about gym equipment too. It was installed. While most prisoners complain about the food it's rarely because of fear.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Oscar was worried the food in the prison might be poisoned.

MCKENZIE: So Pistorius would only buy food from the prison store, he says. In this overcrowded prison, 50 inmates often squeeze into a single cell, sharing one toilet and a basin.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: They are always fighting for food, for bath.

MCKENZIE: But Pistorius had his own cell for his safety. Because high profile prisoners have been attacked here before.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: If you are high profile inmate people will take advantage of the situation.

MCKENZIE: They will target you?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: They will target you, that's correct.

MCKENZIE: Taking every precaution to keep South Africa's disgraced icon safe.

Well, certainly, Rosemary, there is a sense in that piece that he got preferential treatment we asked them if this is the case. And they say it's complicated. As a disabled, high profile prisoner he needed to be separated. But they did say when he made those complaints, his questions were answered and they were put in there very quickly, indeed compared to the general prison population.

CHURCH: And, David, give us an idea on how - what the reaction has been so far there in South Africa.

MCKENZIE: The reaction to the fact he won't be leaving prison has been mixed. There has been a lot of support of the minister delaying this parole because many people, including women's groups felt for someone to get 10 months in prison for killing their girlfriend is certainly too little of a time. That also, of course, includes Reeva Steenkamp's parents who complained when the parole board decision back in June. [03:15:00] But there are others, including legal experts who say what

the parole board did is within the law in South Africa and they see this political interference by a cabinet-level minister.

Rosemary?

CHURCH: All right. Many thanks to David McKenzie reporting there live from Johannesburg in South Africa.

Well next here on "CNN Newsroom" why Donald Trump thinks Hillary Clinton's e-mail controversy could be devastating to her run for U.S. president.

DONALD TRUMP, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: Look, it's either criminal or incompetent, it's just one or the other. It's gross incompetence or criminal and neither is acceptable to be president.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

CHURCH: Welcome back, everyone. Now to the hotly contested political race for U.S. president. The top two republican presidential contenders threw jabs at each other as they hosted dueling town hall meetings in New Hampshire on Wednesday. Donald Trump and Jeb Bush's events were held at the same time and not very far apart. Here are some of those verbal jabs.

JEB BUSH, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: What people are going to vote for is a proven conservative leaders that's done it, not talked about it but done it. I have a proven conservative record - consistent proven conservative record.

[03:20:00] When no was watching, Mr. Trump doesn't have a proven conservative record. He was a democrat longer in the last decade than he was a Republican. He has given more money to democrats than he's given to Republicans.

TRUMP: And you know right down the road, thank you, right down the road we have Jeb. Very small crowd. You know what's happening to Jeb's crowd as you know right down the street? They're sleeping. They're sleeping now.

CHURCH: Ouch. Well, CNN's Chris Cuomo interviewed Donald Trump before his town hall meeting in New Hampshire. the republican billionaire says democratic front runner Hillary Clinton's campaign is in big trouble. Take a listen.

TRUMP: I think Hillary is going to have a hard time being in the election based on the e-mails, the servers and maybe the speeches. I think it's going to be a hard thing for her to overcome.

CHRIS CUOMO, CNN ANCHOR: You think it's going to hurt her a long time?

TRUMP: I think it's devastating. I think her bigger problem is the criminal problem. CUOMO: You really think this could be a criminal situation for

Hillary Clinton? There is no reference of that from the investigators right now.

TRUMP: I don't think I'm the only one. I think the FBI's involved they only do criminal. I don't think I'm the only one and maybe it's someone on our staff. But, look, it's either criminal or incompetent, just one or the other. It's gross incompetence or criminal and neither is acceptable to be president.

CHURCH: I'm joined now by Jeffrey Lord, political commentator and former Reagan White House political director. Thank you Sir for talking with us.

JEFFREY LORD, POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Rosemary, nice to be here.

CHURCH: Absolutely. Now, just before we came to you of course we heard what Donald Trump thinks of Hillary Clinton. He thinks she is in big trouble. Do you agree with him? Could it signal the end of her this e-mail saga?

LORD: Well, I do, you know, here is her problem. She got two problems. One is whatever the potential legal problem would be and the former attorney general of the United States and a federal judge has written in the "Wall Street Journal" about this in a legal sense which are certainly of a concern.

Secondly she's got the political problem. I have a column tomorrow in "The American Spectator" it recalls a column in January of 1996 in which the "New York Times" columnist called Hillary Clinton a quote, unquote, congenital liar. He went through chapter and verse on. This my point to you on this is she has this persona. Every candidate has this persona. Hers has evolved that she has trouble telling the truth on different issues. And unfortunately this plays right into that sort of persona. So I think she's got a potential legal problem here if I listen to the legal experts correctly and a serious political problem.

CHURCH: All right. Let's go back to Donald Trump and his views on the issue of immigration. The most controversial suggestion he has made is that babies born in the U.S. will not become citizens automatically if he becomes president. We want to take a quick listen to what he had to say.

LORD: OK.

TRUMP: You have people on the border and in one day they walk over have a baby and all of a sudden we're supposed to...

CUOMO: So the citizenship for those babies you would revoke it now and retroactively?

TRUMP: Number one, the 14th Amendment is questionable as to whether that baby is a citizen.

CUOMO: The court has said it reads that this is a minority legal opinion you are talking about.

TRUMP: There are many people that totally feel that...

CUOMO: They want it that way.

TRUMP: Amending is too big a deal. It would be two terms. I would be on my eighth year assuming everything went smoothly. To amend the constitution.

CUOMO: Takes a long time especially on a very divisive issue.

TRUMP: But I believe you can win it legally.

CHURCH: So, sir, what do you say to this? Will it be possible to make a change like this?

LORD: Yes, it will, there is disagreement on the 14th Amendment. There is a clause in there about jurisdiction which constitutional experts say could in fact make what Mr. Trump is suggesting possible. It's very interesting that the 14th Amendment did not give citizenship to native Americans or Indians as we say in America. That was not done until an act of congress in 1923.

[03:25:00] And of course, if congress can make you a citizen, congress can also unmake you a citizen. So this is an argument that that is going to proceed. But already what Donald Trump has been saying has been getting support from constitutional experts here in this country.

CHURCH: Jeffrey Lord thank you for joining us and sharing your analysis with us, we appreciate it.

LORD: Thanks, Rosemary.

CHURCH: Our international viewers can watch CNN's full interview with Donald Trump when we air it again in a few hours from now. Watch it starting at noon in London right here on CNN.

A new CNN/ORC poll shows that Hillary Clinton has a lead over Donald Trump but it is shrinking dramatically. Jeff Zeleny has details from Washington.

HILLARY CLINTON, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: It's all entertainment. I think he's having the time of his life. You know, being up on that stage.

JEFF ZELENY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Hillary Clinton and other democrats have been all smiles at Donald Trump and his influence on the presidential race. But look who is smiling now. Donald Trump is not only leading the Republican field, he is within striking distance of Clinton in our new CNN/ORC poll.

CLINTON: We have turned over the server.

TRUMP: Someone has a problem and it's Hillary.

ZELENY: In a head to head match up, she now leads Trump by six points. In June she had a 24-point advantage. In July, 16 points. Is but Clinton can't get ahead of herself. She has a democratic primary fight on her hands. She wins support from 47 percent of democrats, falling below 50% for the first time and leads Bernie Sanders by 18 points. But since July, Clinton has fallen nine and Sanders climbed 10.

BERNIE SANDERS, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I think it is fair to say that there is a lot of excitement in the Bernie Sanders campaign right now.

ZELENY: One other warning sign for Clinton, her unfavorable ratings are at a 14-year high with only 40 percent with a positive view of her. She has been unable to shake the controversy over the decision to use a private e-mail server as Secretary of State.

CLINTON: My personal e-mails are my personal business.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Did you wipe the server?

CLINTON: With a cloth or something?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I don't know how it works.

CLINTON: I don't know how it works at all.

ZELENY: Her frustration showing through Tuesday in Nevada.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Nobody talks to me about it other than you guys.

ZELENY: Yet for all the questions, Clinton is still in a position of strength. When tested against her potential G.O.P. rivals, she wins beating Jeb Bush by nine points and Carly Fiorina by 10. She is still in a stronger position than any of her rivals. But a majority of democrats, 53 percent, say they want vice president Joe Biden to get into the race. We'll find out next month if he will. Jeff Zeleny, CNN, Washington.

CHURCH: And coming up next here on "CNN Newsroom," adulteress exposed. Hackers reveal the identities of millions of married people using the dating website, Ashley Madison.

And a restaurant spokesman is facing the loss of his freedom. Ahead the child pornography plea deal he's entering. We're back in a moment.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[03:30:00]

CHURCH: Warm welcome back to you all. You're watching "CNN Newsroom." I'm Rosemary Church. It is time to check the headlines this hour. A cruise ship has just brought hundreds more migrants to a port city in Greece this comes as European government officials prepare to meet to tackle the growing human smuggling problem. At least 160,000 migrants have landed in Greece since January. A spokesman for The Hunter in Thailand says Monday's bombing in

Bangkok is unlikely to be linked to international terrorism. That is after Thailand's police chief said at least 10 people must have been involved in the attack and it was probably planned for at least a month. 20 people were killed and at least 120 were wounded in Monday's bombing.

Archbishop Des Mont Tutu remains in a South African hospital for two weeks of intensive antibiotic treatment. The 83-year old was admitted Monday for an undisclosed inflammation. The Nobel Peace Prize Laureate also had a persistent infection recently and he has battled prostate cancer for years.

The extreme heat and unusually dry weather across parts of Europe this summer are leading to major problems for some people. And we have our meteorologist Pedram Javaheri here to explain why, what the situation is and how it's looking ahead.

PEDRAM JAVAHERI, METEOROLOGIST: You know, just in the past couple of months we have seen very little rainfall across in Europe, kind of akin to what is happening in parts of the western U.S. But he's looking at some of the observations made in the last 50 to 60 days. One to two storms have brought in good rainfall across Europe. So now, we know the farmers are taking a hit of several billions of dollars in losses when it comes to the wheat output, the apple output, the asparagus, some of the main products and vegetables across this region that are being severely impacted.

So severe drought, a big-time issue for a lot of people. I want to show you a video coming out of Poland. That is the Vistula River that's Warsaw. This is the longest river in Poland. You're looking at the lowest water level in over 120 years across this river. In fact, it is so low that officials have been able to take out over 100,000 cubic meters of trash out of this particular river. So it kinds of show you the situation they are dealing across this area. We'll put the maps in motion. Because a massive area of high pressure has been in place over this region and with the high pressure in place, very dry conditions and persistent.

So again, the drought situation is very costly, in some cases akin to what's happening in California as far as the amount of losses that we're seeing. Looking March 2015, the droughts in the severe to moderate scale. And going to a month of May, you see it picks up in intensity. Severe to extreme. July, now we're talking extreme to exceptional. And large scale exceptional drought in place for August of 2016. So this is becoming a major issue especially for crop output in much of Germany.

[03:35:00] Farmers had only harvested about 46 million tons, that is more than 10 percent less than what they did last year since they have 30 percent less reduction in wheat harvest from 2014 down in Bavaria. And serious concerns over feed for the cattle and livestock as well as far as the feed available for them. But we know what's happening across the western U. S. I just want to show you brand new satellite imagery this is from the July 2000 - the year 2000 where you see the water levels and look at Lake Mead, Las Vegas in the corner of your screen. But look around the edges of Lake Mead because I fast forward to July 2015. A significant reduction in the water level. This is a big-time concern. We are seeing it in a long-term pattern when it comes to drought in the southwestern U.S.

To leave you with this, how about a twin typhoons to tell you about. One named Goni and the other one Atsani which is actually a super typhoon meaning category 4 equivalent or stronger. The concerns with these storms are going to the areas around Taiwan, yet again, Rosemary it was about 10 days ago, we had a typhoon took out about 4 million people from power supply across Taiwan. One of the largest large scale blackouts they've seen in the country associated with weather. This storm comes in a very fragile area yet again, several watching that for impact. Sometime from Saturday into Sunday for Eastern Taiwan.

CHURCH: Yes. I mean, that's the thing. When you look at Taiwan, so vulnerable and had to put up with so much and here it is again.

JAVAHERI: Here is it again, twice if two weeks. Yes.

CHURCH: Yes. Exactly. Thanks so much, appreciate it.

JAVAHERI: Thank you.

CHURCH: Germany's parliament approved a third bailout for Greece on Wednesday saying the country deserves a new start. The move brings Greece one step closer to making a more than $3.5 billion debt repayment to the European central bank by today's deadline. Numerous German lawmakers still object to giving Greece more money. Greece's Prime Minister, Alexis Tsipras has vowed to stick to very strict anti- austerity measures as a part of the bailout.

Greece may have clinched a deal but lost a lot of control to creditors. So who is pulling all the strings? CNN's Isa Soares reports.

ISA SOARES, CNN CORRESPONENT: Greece and the Eurozone, two sides by the political and economic spotlight taking center stage was a bitter row over tax hikes, pensions and black holes in balance sheets. But now Greece and its creditors are putting on a show of unity. Money is being exchanged, reforms are being accepted.

But as the curtain falls on the negotiations behind the scenes is where the real drama is playing out. Greece is facing unprecedented control from its creditors and it seems that Mr. Tsipras here is no longer dancing to his own tune.

The country must now adhere to very strict rules. Some Greeks may find some of these controls aimed at opening up markets half-baked like the one on bakeries. Before bread could only be sold in bakeries and made to one of two standard weights. Now Greek bakers are told to rise to a new challenge, dropping the standardizations and allowing the bread to be sold in more outlets such as supermarkets.

If that was hard to swallow, so is this, in Greece, milk could only sit on the shelves for five days, that's going against Eu's legislation of 10 days. All this makes importing milk difficult. So dairy products are about 34 percent more expensive. Now Greece will have to adhere to Eu rules which gives citizens access to a wider variety of cheaper dairy products. Pharmacies too will have to adapt. Until now they could only be owned by a licensed pharmacist could take a number of places to get prescription medication. The theory is by getting rid of the ownership restrictions it will open up the sector to a wider range of providers.

Then there's the metro shopping. With a few exceptions all shops in Greece are closed on a Sunday which Europe wants to change. Critics say the regulations are tougher than the ones in places like in Germany or Italy, where most shops are allowed to be closed on a Sunday. Greece may find some of these individual reforms small and some may say petty. But if they want the troika to lend the money they have to accept the creditors are now in control.

Isa Soares, CNN, London.

CHURCH: Still to come here on CNN Newsroom, the secret is out on millions of cheaters as hackers post personal data stolen from a website where married people to go to cheat on their spouses. We're back with that and more in just a moment.

[03:40:00] (COMMERCIAL BREAK)

CHURCH: There are new images coming in of the unrest between demonstrators and police in St. Louis. The police chief there says demonstrators have thrown rocks and bottles at police during a protest of a fatal police shooting and a police shot and killed an 18-year-old African-American suspect they say had pointed a gun at officers arriving with a search warrant. Protesters gathered at the scene at first peacefully but police say the crowd refused to disperse. And that is when police fired smoke and tear gas. Nine people were arrested.

Time's up. That's the message from hackers who have followed through on their threat to release a whole lot of data from a cheater's dating website, Ashley Madison. They claimed to have posted the names of more than 30 million users on the dark web along with their credit card numbers, e-mail, and physical addresses. Searchable databases have now made their way to main stream websites. Our Laurie Segall did some digging.

LAURIE SEGALL, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Ashley Madison is a site devoted to maybe it's called the wandering eye. Anyone who potentially is thinking of having an affair can go on the site sign up and find someone else who is interested. This site that is very controversial but at the end of the day it has millions of users. So a lot of people are interested. About a month ago, hackers threatened to release lots of personal information. They say they were able to breach the servers and get user data and they gave a warning. They said, if you don't shut down the site we are going to post all of this data. The hackers made good on the promise and decided to do a huge data damp, we're talking 10 Gigabyte on the dark web. 33 million accounts, 36 million email addresses. So we're sorting to the data, we saw 15,000 .gov, .military e-mails. [00:45:00] You got to think this with a lot of people make up their e-

mail addresses when they sign up for the site because obviously it's a sensitive side. It's what they can't make up is payment information that reveals very, very telling things like your home address and phone number. They were also able to get a bit of internal data from the company, bank account information, internal memos.

One researcher said that hackers owned the server. They did a ton of damage. Who is behind this? We don't know a lot about the group claiming to take credit, the impact group. They said people doing this are immoral and need to learn and Ashley Madison promises to keep their data safe. And Ashley Madison is not doing that. So they put out a manifesto said find yourself in here and make amends. What's next for Ashley Madison? Right now, the company is doing damage control and trying to find the people behind this hack. They haven't been able to do that.

Representatives from Ashley Madison have said whether or not you believe in what we do, in what we stand, of course, hacking is a criminal act and this is personal information that has been put out there on the web ripe for identity threat and if you are at home there might be people trying to Google and see if their significant other is on this site. When we look at the site they claim to have 40 million users. That's a lot of users of a site devote to infidelity.

CHURCH: As you can imagine is, unnerved a lot of people.

Well, a U.S. man's ability to lose weight by eating low-fat sandwiches brought him national attention and a lucrative job in ads for the subway restaurant chain. But Randi Kaye reports it all came to an abrupt end when allegations involving child pornography surfaced.

RANDI KAYE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Jared Fogle moments after agreeing to plead guilty to child pornography charges.

JISH MIKLER, U.S. ATTORNEY: Jared Fogle has been charged and has admitted to participating in a five-year criminal scheme to exploit children.

KAYE: Children as young as six years old. 14 victims in all beginning around 2010, authorities say Fogle traveled to New York City to pay minors for sex. The feds say he paid a 17-year-old girl to have sex with him at the Plaza Hotel and offered her a finder's fee to find him another young girl stating the younger the girl the better. The indictment says Fogle convinced that same girl to send three nude images of herself to his e-mail account. Later paying her again to have sex at the Ritz in Manhattan. Authorities say the girl had also told them she had had sex with Fogle three times when she was just 16.

MIKLER: This is about using wealth, status and secrecy to illegally exploit children.

KAYE: Investigator began taking a closer look at Fogle when Russell Taylor, the executive director of the Jared Foundation was arrested two months ago on federal child porn charges. Authorities say Fogle received images and videos from Taylor of partially clothed minors engaging in sexually explicit conduct.

Investigating this case was no small task, it included search warrants for 16 Smartphones, five tablets, six laptops, six hard drives, five cameras including hidden cameras, flash drives, 10 memory cards, 46 CDs and 22 DVDs. Investigators looked at nearly a 160,000 text messages, more than 47,000 images and more than 3,300 videos.

As part of his plea deal Fogle will go to prison for anywhere from 5 to 12.5 years and he has also promised to pay restitution $100,000 to each victim to cover counseling.

MIKLER: He knows the restitution can't undo the damage he has done but he will do all in his power to try to make it right.

KAYE: A stunning fall for someone the world came to love as the subway guy. Before subway, Fogle was an overweight college student.

JARED FOGLE: The straw that broke the camel's back was getting on the scale and seeing that I weighed 425 pounds.

KAYE: Jared, dropped weight finding subway's low-fat menu. A friend wrote about Jared's diet in the campus newspaper, then "Men's Health" magazine picked up the story. Jared got the call from subway after that and by 2000 he was the face of the campaign.

ANNOUNCER: This is Jared. He weighed 425 pounds. Inspired by Subway's low fat sandwiches...

KAYE: Jared claimed to have lost 245 pounds in one year.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: What was your waist?

FOGLE: 60 inches.

KAYE: Jared Fogle made millions as the Subway guy. Money he will now use to defend himself and pay his victims. Randy Kaye, CNN, New York.

CHURCH: Next here on "CNN Newsroom," the race for the White House and a deep friendship. Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton find themselves on competing sides. Back with that in just a moment.

[03:50:00] (COMMERCIAL BREAK)

CHURCH: Welcome back. Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton are waging a war of words against each other in their bid to win the White House. But despite the political rivalry, their daughters, Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump remain friends at least for now. CNN's Sunlen Serfaty takes a look at their friendship.

DONALD TRUMP, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: It's pathetic that Hillary Clinton just blamed me for the horrendous attack that took place in South Carolina.

SUNLEN SERFATY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: As their parents sling insults at each other on the campaign trail.

HILALRY CLINTON, DEMOCRATICE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I have just one word for Mr. Trump, Bastard, enough.

SERFATY: Ivanka Trump and Chelsea Clinton's long standing friendship is about to be put to the test. It's a test their parents have failed. After once being close friends themselves, Hillary Clinton attending Donald Trump's wedding. Trump making donations in the past to the Clintons and their foundations, they are now rivals, not holding anything back.

CLINTON: I think the guy went way overboard. Offensive, outrageous, pick your adjective.

TRUMP: She is the worst Secretary of State in the history of our country.

[03:55:00] SERFATY: But Ivanka and Chelsea have a private relationship one that has grown more intimate over the years. The two women both in their 30s, new moms and living in Manhattan, finding bonds in their similarities. Their unconventional upbringing in the spotlight. Their career paths from high-profile TV gigs to big roles now in their respective family businesses and their family ties both marrying a man of the Jewish faith. Ivanka converting with marriage. On social media, they both seemed to be president of the other's fan club.

Effusive in their praise on Facebook and tweeting out compliment. Ivanka quoting Chelsea from a tweet with a hash tag, "Wise Words". Chelsea telling "Vogue" magazine saying there is nothing skin deep about Ivanka, saying she is always aware of everyone around her. Quote, it's an awareness that in some ways reminds me of my dad in his ability to increase the joy of the room. But their biggest connection could also become their friendship's kryptonite. Both are fiercely loyal to their family and big boosters of each of their parents' presidential bids.

IVANKA TRUMP, DONALD TRUMP'S DAUGHTER: I can tell you, that there is no better person than my father to have in your corner when you're facing tough opponents or making had decisions. He is battle tested.

SERFATY: A battle that could not become a rivalry for this Trump and Clinton two.

CHURCH: Watch that space. You are watching "CNN Newsroom." I'm Rosemary Church. Do stay with us. "Early Start" is next for our viewers in the United States and for the rest of you another edition of "CNN Newsroom" begins after the break. Have a great day.
