[04:00:12] ISA SOARES, CNN ANCHOR: Newly released videos shows the dramatic lead up to a police shooting in the U.S. and fuels a fourth straight night of protests. An ongoing man hunt in the United States after a man opens fire at a shopping mall. And Russia and the U.S agree, there is no military solution for Syria. So, why they're at odds over what to do now?

Hello and a very warm welcome to our viewers rise around the world, I am Isa Soares and you are watching CNN NEWSROOM.

It was another night of calm protests in Charlotte, North Carolina, after police shot and killed an African-American man. A curfew went into effect about four hours ago, and protesters eventually left the streets. Demonstrators also marched in solidarity in Atlanta, Georgia, a few hours away. They want police to release the video showing Keith Lamont Scott's death. Meanwhile, his family released a cell phone recording up. Brian Todd has more.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

BRIAN TODD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The graphic cellphone video which untold today had not been shown to the police or the public shows parts of the confrontation between Keith Scott and Charlotte police.

RAKEYIA SCOTT, KEITH SCOTT'S WIFE: Don't shoot him. He didn't do anything.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Drop the gun! Drop the gun!

SCOTT: He doesn't have a gun.

TODD: Scott's wife begins recording police before her husband is shot. Throughout, she can be heard imploring police not to fire.

SCOTT: Don't shoot him.

TODD: She tells officers her husband suffers from a traumatic brain injury or TBI and may be confuse.

SCOTT: He has a TBI. TODD: The shouting between the officers and Scoot's wife is laced with profanity as officers repeatedly tell her husband to exit his white vehicle ordering him to drop a gun.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Drop the gun.

SCOTT: Keith, don't do it.

TODD: Scott's wife also begs him to get out.

SCOTT: Keith, get out of the car.

TODD: Scott can be seen getting out of the car. Then officers open fire.

SCOTT: Did you shoot him?

TODD: The video only offers a limited view of what happened and no explanation why.

SCOTT: He didn't do nothing to them.

TODD: Officers wearing bullet proof vests can be seen shielding themselves behind other cars. But (inaudible) for Scott's family saved the video and at least two videos from police cameras which have not been released do not show Scott threatening the officers.

JUTSIN BAMBERG, ATTORNEY OF SCOTT'S FAMILY: He steps out of his vehicle, doesn't appear to be acting aggressive whatsoever, he's not making any quick moves, moving slowly, you know, he doesn't appear to be arguing or yelling at law enforcement. His hands are down by his side.

TODD: Several frames of the video do appear to show Scott exiting the vehicle, but it's not clear if he moves toward police. Also unclear from the video whether there is anything in his hands. Police say they found a gun at the scene. This photo appears to show a gun lying on the ground. But Scott's family and some witnesses dispute that. They said Scott was not armed. Charlotte's police chief says he believes Scott was holding a gun based on evidence and witness statements, but has said the police dash cam video which has refuse to release. It's not clear enough to show it.

KERR PUTNEY, CHIEF POLICE Chief: I don't have any visual definitive evidence that I can show and I can see him actually holding and pointing a gun at an officer. The issue, though, what I've seen is, I'm not able to see the correct angle to see a weapon in his hand in the first place.

TODD: Family lawyers who have viewed the tapes say they also see no evidence of a weapon or of Scott raising a gun to police. A source close to the investigation tells CNN a gun found at the scene was loaded and had Keith Scott's blood, DNA, and fingerprints on it. But, it's not clear if that evidence shows Scott was actually holding the gun at the moment he was shot.

Brian Todd, CNN, Charlotte.

SOARES: Well, earlier, my colleague Natalie Allen spoke with Areva Martin about this case. She's an attorney and legal affairs commentator. Take a listen to how she sees it unraveling.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

AREVA MARTIN, CIVIL RIGHTS ATTORNEY: I think we learned a great deal about Mr. Scott from watching and listening to the videotape from his wife. We heard for the first time that he may suffer from a traumatic brain injury and that apparently he takes medication.

Those are two really important details in this case that before now had not been released. They raise, for me, the question of whether Mr. Scott had some kind of mental health issues or other neurological issues that may have made it difficult and possibly even impossible for him to even understand what was happening with the encounter he had, the deadly encounter he had with the police.

[04:05:00] NATALIE ALLEN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Right. Because, the chief of the police there in Charlotte has said that when he saw the police video that Mr. Scott looked confused and, to quote the chief, he said that the video of -- the police video does not give me absolute definitive video evidence that will confirm that a person is pointing a gun. There's just so much that we don't know about this situation.

MARTIN: Well, it's good that you point out the chief's statement with respect to the police's video because in the wife's video we also hear her say anywhere from three to five times, he doesn't have a gun, he doesn't have a weapon. So, you have the chief of police stating that there was a gun found at the scene that they are attributing to Mr. Scott.

But, you hear his wife on this videotape saying to the police he doesn't have a gun. He's not harmful. He's not going to do anything. So, we're getting two very conflicting stories about what was happening at the time that Mr. Scott was shot by the police.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SOARES: Areva Martin there. Well, elsewhere in the United States, police in the state of Washington are looking for an armed man who killed four women and wounded one man. It happened in Burlington about an hour north of Seattle on Friday night. Here's a picture you're looking at of the man police are currently looking for. They say he opened fire in a department store with a rifle. Witnesses say it was a scary scene as mall employees evacuated everyone. Take a listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ARMANDO PATINO, WITNESS: The most chaotic I've seen in a while and the most chaotic that to me that's ever been here. You know, I wouldn't think this would even happen here. So I'm shocked.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SOARES: Well, we've been told the FBI is helping in the shooting investigation.

When we going to turn our attention to Syria because nightmare is intensifying in Aleppo in Syria. New air strikes there killed more than 120 people on Friday. The air raids are so intense in fact, the activists are describing them as unprecedented and the Syrian government is launching new military operations against rebels.

Residents desperately need food and aid. They've been waiting for it for months now. Whatever was left of the cease-fire has -- I think is fair to say, completely collapse. Well, the U.S and Russia are blaming each other for the collapse of the cease-fire. The U.S. says the ball is in Russia's court to show it really wants a peaceful solution. The Russian foreign minister said there's no military solution he says to the pump lets. But, he said the U.S needs to do more to control the rebels. Take a listen.

(BEGIN VEDIO CLIP)

SERGEY LAZAREV, RUSSIAN FOREIGN MINISTER: Seven day, three days would be senseless because I gave you examples of what was going on after 12th of September when the document was enforced. Three hundred fifty attacks by the opposition close to Nusra against government troops and against leading quarters.

People get killed from the Syrian army, from the Syrian population, and an absolute inability of the American-led coalition to deliver on the pulling back from Castello Road where the government stop in doing action, and they just refused.

So, we want to see any sign which would prove that the coalition has influence on those who are on the ground facing the government.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SOARES: Sergey Lazarev there. Now, of course, we're getting new reports of new air strikes hitting in Aleppo. CNN, Senior International Correspondent Ben Wedeman joins us live from Baghdad in Iraq.

And Ben, let's start off (ph) with these air strikes we just reported on. What more can you tell us about them? I mean, how ferocious were they in comparison to what we've been seeing the last 24 hours or so?

BEN WEDEMAN, SENIOR CNN INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: They continue unabated. We just got off the phone with an activist in Aleppo who says that since yesterday, there have been more than 200 air strikes. They describe a level of bombing that they have never seen before, since the outbreak of the Syrian uprising in March of 2011.

They say that because many of bombing overnight, they were unable to reach some of the areas that were hit. They fear that many people, dozens perhaps, may still be caught under the rubble.

And, of course, one picture has emerged, and we have to warn our viewers that this image is disturbing, of a man and his son who were found crushed under the rubble. They were killed in an air strike in Pathergy, a neighborhood of eastern Aleppo that's under control of the opposition.

That air strike happened at 5:00 a.m. Now, this man, who you can see quite clearly in his picture, and one of his sons and another son were killed in the air strike. Fortunately, the mother and their daughter were in another room. They were injured, but now they're in a hospital.

[04:10:02] But, this is very much indicative of what's going on in Aleppo. This is, it appears, by and large in discriminant air strike on areas that are occupied by civilians.

This is an Eastern Aleppo where about 250,000 people live. And of course, now we've heard from UNICEF that the water supply in Aleppo on both sides of the city, the eastern area under occupation control as well as the rest of the city under government control is now without water.

Overnight, the Bab al-Nayrab pumping station was hit in an air strike. Of course, when we talk about air strikes it's not clear whether they were Russian or Syrian government, but it's one of the two. That pumping station was knocked out and as a result in revenge, the opposition switched off the other pumping station which they control that provides water to the rest of the city. And UNICEF is very worried that in the absence of running water, people are going to start drinking out of wells that have contaminated water.

So, on top of a shortage of medicine and food, now there's a shortage of clean water as well. It's absolutely medieval, the situation in Aleppo right now.

SOARES: Yes. The picture you are painting, it is absolutely medieval. It's a city near breaking point and people really clearly living on the edge, Ben. As you're saying, no food and now reports you're saying of no water either. Let's focus on the politics of this because this is why the situation is where is at.

With both sides, as we heard there from Lavrov, pretty much blaming each other and with the assaults on the ground as you clearly pointed escalating, do you think it's best to say then there's little hope now of any diplomatic progress?

WEDEMAN: It certainly appears that diplomacy has utterly evaporated in this situation. You had the Syrian government announcing they were going to launch a comprehensive assault, offensive against Aleppo. Now, are they going to try to retake the eastern part of the city? It will be a blood bath. And what we've seen is that the Syrian government, the regime of Bashar al-Assad has no intention of extending an olive branch to the opposition. All it seems to be doing is bombing the opposition and the civilians who live in those areas into oblivion. I've been to Syria, I've been to Aleppo. And often time what you see has been spray painted on the walls by regime troops says, "Assad or we burn the country". In other words, you accept Assad or we will obliterate you. And that appears to be what is going on.

Now, the Russians complain that the Americans are unable to separate the opposition they consider moderate from the extremists. The Americans accuse the Russians of being unable to control Syrian government forces. But at the end of the day, the result is the same. You have an unprecedented number of people dying in Aleppo. The death toll from this horrendous war is approaching half a million at this point. Millions of people have been driven from their homes into exile and the diplomats have been utterly incapable of bringing this conflict even near to a resolution. Isa?

SOARES: Ben Wedeman there for us putting the conflict into perspective with some devastating consequences there. That conflict that we just heard that from Ben. Ben, appreciate it. Thanks very much, very good to see you.

Now, U.S. President Barack Obama issued what maybe his final veto on Friday. Why it could be also his most controversial. That's next. Plus, North Korea shifting blame for its nuke ambitions to the west, while pointing two fingers. Those stories just ahead right here on CNN NEWSROOM.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[04:15:25] RICHARD QUEST, CNN ANCHOR AND CORRESPONDENT: I'm Richard Quest and here is the top business headline.

Twitter stocks soared more than 20 percent on Friday, the reports that the social media platform is considering selling itself. Alphabet which owns Google and the company Salesforce are mentioned as potential suitors. Verizon distance itself from the rumors, dismissing the most in there words is entirely false.

The Dow was off 131 points on Friday. It snapped a three-day winning streak. Facebook and Apple were big losers. Wall Street inked up a small gain in the week. Thanks to the Federal Reserve and it was up around three-quarters of 1 percent.

Oil prices fell on Friday on worries that the world's largest exporters won't take steps to ease the supply glut. There's been a little progress on the preliminary agreement between Saudi Arabia and Iran ahead of main talks aimed at freezing production next week.

And yahoo's potential merger with Verizon is in the spotlight after Yahoo set at least 500 million user accounts have been hacked. Verizon is now saying it learned about it two days before the breach was disclosed publicly. The two companies have agreed to a $4.8 billion tie-up in late July until it's expected to close in the first half of next year.

You are up to date with the news headlines and the business of the day. I'm Richard quest in New York. (COMMERCIAL BREAK)

SOARES: Welcome back to CNN NEWSROOM. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump have canceled their plans for a separate visit to Charlotte, North Carolina, after an appeal by the city's mayor.

Charlotte has been rocked this week by unrest, about the police, they shot and killed a black man. On Friday Charlotte's Mayor said the city simply isn't ready to host the politicians.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

MAYOR JENNIFER ROBERTS, CHARLOTTE NORTH CAROLINA: At this point, we do have very stretched resources for security. And they are working around the clock. If there would be a way to delay those visits in terms of giving us a chance to hear our city, you know, back to order and back to more of a state in normalcy. That would probably be ideal.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SOARES: Meanwhile, both Clinton and Trump are gearing up to square off in Monday's debate. Ahead of that, sources tells CNN both candidates will meet separately with Israel's prime minister on Sunday, upon meetings with Benjamin Netanyahu on New York were arranged in the last 24 hours. No word yet though on what the presidential candidates will discuss with Israel's leader.

Meantime, there's a stunning reversal in the race for the White House. Ted Cruz says he will vote for Donald Trump in November. The Republican candidate says he's greatly honored by the endorsement, those are his words, from the Texas senator. He was being one of Trump's fiercest critics, if you remember. Jeff Zeleny has a story.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JEFF ZELENY, CNN SENIOR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT: Tonight, Ted Cruz is throwing his support behind Donald Trump, a remarkable retreat, after snubbing the Republican nominee for months.

SEN. TED CRUZ, (R) TEXAS: I am not in the habit of supporting people who attack my wife and attack my father.

ZELENY: Booed for standing his conservative ground at the Republican Convention.

CRUZ: You vote your conscience ...

ZELENY: Cruz is now falling in line, a decision politically beneficial to both men as Trump still tries to unify Republicans.

In a statement Cruz is saying, "If you don't want to see a Hillary Clinton presidency, I encourage you to vote for him". It comes as Trump and Clinton prepare to take their long-distance attacks to close range Monday night at their first debate.

[04:20:03] Tonight, race relations and policing in the wake of the shootings in Tulsa and Charlotte are also weighing heavy.

DONALD TRUMP, (R) PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE: Our African American communities are absolutely in the worst shape that they've ever been in before ever, ever, ever.

ZELENY: Trump's words, historically inaccurate, now ridiculed by President Obama.

PRES. BARACK OBAMA, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: I think even most eight year olds will tell you, that whole slavery thing wasn't very good for black people.

ZELENY: The Clinton campaign is going after Trump with this new ad.

TRUMP: I'd look her right on that fat ugly face of hers. She's a slob.

ZELENY: Featuring young women over a sound track of Trump's old words.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Will you treat women with respect?

TRUMP: I can't say that either.

ZELENY: The gamesmanship for the first debate is already well underway. Clinton is giving one of her front row seats to billionaire Mark Cuban who spent months trolling Trump.

Campaign Spokesman Brian Fallon taking to Twitter, "If you have ever seen Mark Cuban court side at Mav's game, you know, he'll be fired up." Trump is keeping his cards far closer to the best. But CNN has learned he's watching old debate videos of Clinton and trying to lower expectations.

TRUMP: Where is Hillary today? Well, they say she's been practicing for the debate. Some people think she's sleeping.

ZELENY: Hoping to reassure conservatives, Trump releasing another list of potential Supreme Court nominees today, including Senator Mike Lee of Utah. Cruz said this move made him more comfortable supporting Trump.

Three days before the biggest moment of the presidential race, aides to Clinton tell CNN she's actually preparing for two Trumps, disciplined and free-wheeling. She's also been studying Trump's positions and watching some of his primary debates. Looking for any moments where rivals like Cruz once got under his skin.

CRUZ: Donald, you can back ...

TRUMP: I'm not up here to relax. Go ahead, I'm relaxed.

CRUZ: You're the basket case.

ZELENY: Democrats close to Clinton say they're urging her to have more moments of levity than lecture. Like this from her Philadelphia convention speech.

HILLARY CLINTON, (D) PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE: Donald Trump says and this is a quote, "I know more about ISIS than the generals do." No, Donald, you don't.

ZELENY: For his part, Trump intends to keep alive questions about Clinton's e-mail server.

TRUMP: Don't forget the 33,000 e-mails she's already deleted. It's criminality. Everybody knows it.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SOARES: Well, after a year and a half of campaigning, the race for the White House has its most important moment to date. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will square off in the first presidential debate. They're already prepping as you heard there in that report.

CNN, of course, has round the clock coverage with the best political team in television and reaction from right around the world. Our own Kate Bolduan will host "State of the Race" live from Hofstra University in New York, just hours before the candidates step into the ring there together for the first time. It all starts Monday right here on CNN. Be sure not to miss that.

U.S. President Barack Obama is facing backlash after a controversial veto. He vetoed the Justice Against Sponsors Of Terrorism Act or JASTA on Friday. The bill would let families and survivors of the 9/11 attacks sue Saudi Arabia for its alleged role in funding the oppression. Obama says the bill poses a threat to national security, though he expressed sympathy for the families.

Victims responded with the following statement I'm about to read. "We are outraged and dismayed at the president's veto of JASTA and the unconvincing and unsupportable reasons that he offers as explanation. No matter how much the Saudi lobbying and propaganda machine may argue otherwise, JASTA is a narrowly drawn statute that restores longstanding legal principles that have enjoyed bipartisan support for decades. It will deter the terrorism and hold accountable those nations that support and fund it."

North Korea is deflecting blame for the progress of its nuclear program even though most of the world is condemning it. Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho told the U.N. on Friday, his country had no choice but to go nuclear due to American aggression. He warned the U.S. of "tremendous consequences beyond imagination if it continues if it continues."

Meanwhile, South Korea says it's prepared to assassinate North Korean leader Kim Jong-un if it senses an urgent threat. Our Paula Hancocks has the story for you.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

PAULA HANCOCKS, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The fact that that is a South Korean assassination plan against the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has not actually surprised many, at least hear in Seoul. What is most surprising is the fact that the Defense Minister Han Min-goo has been quite so candid about it.

Now, this happened back on Wednesday. It was a meeting within parliament and the defense minister was asked by a lawmaker, "Are you creating a special forcing unit to eliminate Kim Jong-un", a very blunt question.

His answer was equally blunt.

[04:24:59] He said, "Yes, we do have such a plan." Also went onto talk about the precision missile capabilities which would target the enemy's facilities and take out the leadership. Now, if this is they are feeling particularly threatened by North Korea's nuclear weapons.

Now, we've really seen a quite change in the past couple of weeks since September 9th in that fifth nuclear test by North Korea where they claimed to have tested a nuclear warhead. Within hours of that test, we heard from the South Korean Joints Chiefs of Staff that they had a plan. There was a plan if necessary in a time of war to take out the leadership.

Now, of course, we're hearing these quotes from the defense minister this week. So is North Korea, and they are not happy about what they're hearing about these threats to their leadership.

We've heard from the state-run media KCNA, they are quoting a spokesperson from the KPA, from the North Korean Military saying that they are going to wipe out Seoul and reduce it to rubble.

Now, this isn't the first time that they've said that kind of thing and threatened Seoul in that way. But they've also said that they're going to wipe Guam off the map. Now, the reason for this, they've threatened Washington, New York, other U.S. states before, but they're threatening Guam because over the past couple weeks, there has been two separate fly overs from U.S. bombers, B-1B bombers that are based in Guam, and just last week, there were bombers which actually flew close to the DMZ, the demilitarized zone between North and South Korea.

A U.S. military source telling me that that is the closest this kind of bomber has ever got to North Korea. So North Korea is not happy by what it is saying. Of course South Korea is now looking to see whether or not it is just a verbal reaction there they're going to see from North Korea. They've already said that they believe North Korea is ready for nuclear test number six.

Paula Hancocks, CNN, Seoul.

SOARES: And coming up, a man who went to protest the death of Keith Lamont Scott in Charlotte is now being remembered by his own family after he was fatally shot during the march. Plus, Colombia is getting closer to officially ending the longest running arm conflict in Latin America. Why a guerilla commander now says, the war is over. We'll bring you both of those stories right here on CNN NEWSROOM.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[04:30:39] SOARES: Welcome back to our viewers around the world. You are watching CNN NEWSROOM. I'm Isa Soares, let me bring you up to date with the main news headlines we are coming through this hour.

Authorities are looking for this man in U.S state of Washington. They say he is armed after opening fire in a shopping mall in Burlington killing four women and wounding a man. Burlington is about an hour north of Seattle. Law enforcement is asking people in the area to stay inside.

A surprising move in the race for the White House, Republican Ted Cruz has endorsed his former rival Donald Trump, the two made headlines during primary season for often nasty personal attacks. Now, Trump says he's honored by the senator's endorsement.

We are getting reports of more intense air strikes hitting Aleppo, Syria, on Saturday. After this day, air strikes on Friday killed more than 120 people.

A water pumping station in Aleppo was destroyed on Thursday. UNICEF is concerned about the lack of clean water. The cease-fire has collapsed as you know and the Syrian government has launched new military operations.

North Korea is blaming the U.S for its nuclear program. The country's foreign minister told the U.N. General Assembly that it had no choice but to go nuclear to defend itself from American aggression. Meanwhile, South Korea says it has elite troops on stand by to assassinate the North Korean leader if the threat of nuclear strike is impending.

Charlotte, North Carolina, is bracing for more protests after police killed an African-American man. Demonstrators want the public to release a video showing Keith Lamont Scott's shooting on Tuesday.

Death March for four nights now. Police claim Scott threatened them with a gun. Sources tell us officers recovered a gun at the scene with his fingerprints and DNA. On Friday, Scott widow shed cellphone videos.

The family's attorneys said the video. They released the video because the police wouldn't. It isn't clear from this recording however if Scott was threatening officers. Randi Kaye takes a look at other times officials release police all surveillance video and how it impacted those cases were. Take a look.

RANDI KAYE, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Chicago, Illinois, October 2014. Teenager Laquan McDonald is shot and killed by police officer Jason Vandyke. McDonald was shot 16 times. The officer claimed McDonald had a knife and refused to drop it.

He said McDonald advanced toward him, so he fired. Even after firing 16 shots, the officer said McDonald tried to get up. MAYOR RAHM EMANUEL, (D) CHICAGO: We will continue to take the necessary steps to build trust between the police and the residents and communities they serve.

KAYE: That maybe easier said than done since the video of this shooting released more than a year after the shooting death tells a very different story than the officer's account. It was only released after enormous public pressure and a judge's court order.

Dash cam video shows the victim with a knife, but walking away from police. Before he shot, despite what the officer said happened, McDonald never faces Vandyke. In the video, the officer fires more than a dozen times after McDonald was already limp on the ground. The officer was charged with first-degree murder and is awaiting trial. Still, the city erupted in protests.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: 16 shots.

KAYE: Ferguson, Missouri, August 2014, Michael Brown is shot and killed by a white Ferguson police officer. After a scuffle at the police car, the officer said Brown charged him. But, eye-witnesses disputed that. Violent protests broke out.

Minutes before Brown was shot dead, police say he stole cigarettes from a convenience store. Ferguson's police chief released video of that robbery, and then made this stunning comment.

THOMAS JACKSON, FERGUSON POLICE CHIEF: The initial contact between the officer and Mr. Brown was not related to the robbery. They were walking down the middle of the street blocking traffic. That was it.

KAYE: That just fueled the anger. Protesters blamed police for releasing the video, only to make Michael Brown look like a criminal, especially when the officer may not have even been aware of the robbery. In the end, a grand jury chose not to indict Officer Darren Wilson.

[04:35:01] And now this, Tulsa, Oklahoma, just last week.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He got his hand up there for now.

Terrence Crutcher, an unarmed black man with his hands in the air.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This guy is still walking, following commands.

KAYE: Suddenly shot and killed by police. Officer Betty Shelby said the victim reached inside his car window for what she feared was a gun.

Authorities released video from a police chopper and cruiser dash cams. The video shows Crutcher walking away with his hands up. But, because of the angle, it's impossible to see if he reached in his car or the moment he was shot.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Which way are they facing?

KAYE: The man's family says his window was rolled up.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Shots fired.

KAYE: The officer has now been charged with manslaughter. Police say they released the video to help keep the peace.

CHUCK JORDAN, TULSA POLICE CHIEF: We will not cover anything up. That's not in our DNA.

KAYE: They are hoping transparency with the community pays off. Randi Kaye, CNN, New York.

SOARES: Well, police in Charlotte say they've made their arrest in the shooting death of a protester. The shooting happened during the height of this unrest on Wednesday.

Authorities say Rayquan Borum shot Justin Carr near downtown hotel. Carr was taken to hospital where he died on Thursday. CNN's Anderson Cooper talked to Carr's mother and brother on Friday night. They say the 26-year-old just wanted to march just like his grandmother did during the civil rights era.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

KENNETH JOHNSTON, BROTHER OF MAN SHOT IN PROTEST: He was a walking platform on a number of different things regardless of the situation that took place here in Charlotte, the great city of Charlotte, in which we're all raised. Justin never had any problem speaking out about any particular situation, cause, or anything that was near and dear to his heart.

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR: I understand that Justin was on his way to work on Wednesday evening when he stopped by the protest. Did you know that he was there?

VIVIAN CARR, MOTHER OF MAN SHOT AT PROTEST: Yes. He called me at work and he asked me was I coming down. He wanted me to come down with him, but I told him I was still working late. And he'd stopped by to the protest.

You know, I told him that I didn't think it was a good idea because it was getting dangerous. He told me it was fine. You know he why he was doing. He said, "There's nothing going on right now, ma, you know, I'm fine".

And he was like, "I just want to come down here and, you know, and help out and be a part of the protest". You know, he say, you know, his grandmother always told him about the story when she marched for Martin Luther King. So, he was like he wanted to tell his granny that he was part of marching too, be a legend too, like she was.

And that's what really tore her up, you know hearing about -- he went down to make a stand, too, but he didn't make it out. I just want everybody to know my son was a good kid. COOPER: The strength that you're showing, I mean, being able to even

talk about him in the midst of your grief, it's just extraordinary.

V. CARR: Yes. I know that he died for a cause.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SOARES: Also told that Justin Carr was an organ donor and that his heart, lungs and liver are saving lives in Ohio and Charlotte right now.

Meanwhile, the state in Oklahoma, the sister of a man killed by police officers says her brother was a good man. He wants to become a better person. CNN spoke to Tiffany Crutcher after the arrest of the officer who shot her twin Terence. Here is our Sara Sidner.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SARA SIDNER, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The attorney for Officer Shelby says she has been receiving death threats and that she has left jail. Though, he would not speak to us nor would she would on camera. However, the family for Terence Crutcher did.

An officer turned suspect in Tulsa. Officer Betty Shelby turned herself into authorities. She was booked and bonded out. The district attorney is charging her with first-degree manslaughter, a charge that means a minimum of four years in prison, a maximum of life in prison if a jury convicts.

Shelby's attorney told CNN by phone that, D.A.'s decision to charge her was a rush to judgment. But, the family of Terence Crutcher, a father of four seen here in this police helicopter video. He is it much differently.

Is this a rush to judgment as he says?

TIFFANY CRUTCHER, TWIN SISTER: Well, if it was turned around and if it was you or I or anybody else that would have shot a police officer, then it would have been a rush to judgment. Get him, we need to get him. Throw away the key. But because it's an average Joe, my brother, you know, "a bad dude", oh, there's a rush to judgment. He shouldn't have been shot down, it's not a rush to judgment at all.

SIDNER: The reference to bad dude from someone in a police helicopter on the day of the shooting.

[04:40:00] UNIDENTIFIED MALE: That looks like a bad dude.

SIDNER: Officer Shelby's attorney says his client didn't hear that comment. But, fear for her life.

SCOTT WOOD, OFFICER BETTY SHELBY'S ATTORNEY: Based on her past experience in training, this person posed an immediate threat of harm to him or to her, and everyone present. And he -- she thought if she didn't take action right then, everyone would be in peril of serious bodily harm or death. SIDNER: Officer Shelby's attorney said she thought Crutcher was

reaching into his vehicle while refusing to comply with her orders to get on the ground. But Crutcher's attorney says he couldn't have reached into the vehicle because the window was closed. The district attorney's lead investigator said Shelby had already cleared that vehicle without finding a weapon. Court papers say she approached the vehicle and cleared the driver's side front and proceeded toward the passenger side of the vehicle, and Crutcher's sister, now telling CNN something that has not been revealed publicly before.

CRUTCHER: We clearly saw how slowly he was moving, and people don't know this about my brother. My brother was disabled. My brother had a prosthetic eye. My brother had hearing loss. You know, we had to ask him as "Terence, Terence over and over because he can't hear.

SIDNER: Bad eye sight, poor hearing and Crutcher says he was simply doing what he was taught to do by his father, attempting to put his hands on the car and wait for police. Instead, he was killed. He had just left school.

He wanted to make us proud. He wanted to do something bigger. He wanted to grow. He wanted to become a better person. He wanted to be better. And he didn't want if he didn't ask for this. And so that's what I think about. Sorry. I'm going to miss him.

SIDNER: But they say they are happy to see that the wheels of justice are in motion. Sara Sidner, Tulsa, Oklahoma.

The rebels will now start work on transforming the group into a political party, about a quarter of a million people have died in over half century of fighting there.

Officials in Puerto Rico are struggling to restore power to remaining customers after a fire at an entity plant when they switched off the lights for 1.5 million homes and businesses. It forced schools to close, caused traffic, chaos and sent shoppers searching for generators. Some blame what they describe as an outdated power grid and an electrical utility that is really debt ridden.

Now, a royal visit, the duke and duchess of Cambridge are about to start a Canadian tour. But the real show stopper story stop could be the little one they're bringing along. We'll bring you that story just ahead.

[04:46:24] SOARES: Hundreds have been evacuated in parts of New South Wales, Australian's flooding strikes the region. Meteorologist Derek Van Dam at the World Weather Center with more and, Derek, I believe this is being called the once in a generation flood. How bad it's expected to be?

DEREK VAN DAM, AMS METEOROLOGIST: Good day, Isa. It certainly has been a rough 24 hours across the west central sections of New South Wales. Unfortunately, it's not the rain that they've already seen that's created such problems, but it's the rain that's actually in the forecast that will actually bring more concerns to the region.

First, I want to show you the video coming out of the area, just to give you a perspective on what people are dealing with. And to put this into consideration for you at home, they typically harvest their crops in the months of late October and into early November, but many of those crops have been washed away. So we're really impacting a lot of the farmers there.

There have been hundreds, if not thousands of cattle that have had to be moved to higher ground. And, again, the agricultural being impacted within this region. Rivers have burst their banks flooding areas. In fact, the Lachlan River has actually reached a peak of 11.86 meters causing major flooding which you're looking at right now on your TV screen.

So let's get to the details. And you can see on our satellite loop behind me, this is the cold front moving through the region as we speak. But there is yet another cold front that's going to bring a chance of a precipitation at least through Sunday. Remember, it is late in the evening on Saturday across this region. And then behind it, so we get a cold snap of air that will impact that region as well.

You can see the current radar, showers and thunderstorms moving through the Adelaide region. There's more wet weather for Melbourne and into the Canberra and Sydney region as well. This is our future cast as they take our precipitation forward, a few different areas of precipitation that we'll continue to monitor. It's not out of the realm around of possibilities that we may pick up another 50 to perhaps 100 millimeters of rain before it's all said and done by the first parts of next week. But that doesn't mean the rivers will start to recede very quickly. And you can see the wet forecasts going forward for Sydney.

Another part of the world that is seeing excessive flooding is Indonesia, specifically into West Java. You're looking at images coming out of the suburbs of Jakarta, Indonesia's capital. And you can see the active satellite loop that continues to impact this region, what's interesting in this is that this is typically the driest time of the year. We don't get an up tick in rainfall until really November and into December and January months.

But that's not the case this year. Certainly been a wet season for this region. Flash flooding continues across central Indonesia. Isa?

SOARES: Derek Van Dam there for all. Thanks very much Derek, very good to see you.

Now, the duke and duchess of Cambridge are about to begin an eight-day tour of Western Canada. The star of the show could well be Princess Charlotte of course. The one year old will be making her debut on the international state. Her older brother Prince George will also be there.

Price William and Catherine first visited Canada if you remember about five years ago as newly weds. They have a jammed schedule, 30 events in the British Columbia and the Newcon territory, including a visit to the world's largest temperate rain forest and a meeting with Syrian refugees at Canada as welcome.

And someone has hacked Pippa Middleton's iCloud account. The British press association said, "At least 3,000 images were stolen." That includes pictures of Middleton's sister, the Duchess of Cambridge and her children. Now, according to Britain's Sun and Daily Mail newspapers, a seller called Crafty Cockney offered to sell the photos for a minimum of $65,000. We'll keep on top of that story for you.

JANE SMITH, JOHN SMITH'S WIFE: Still alive, baby?

JEANNE MOOS, NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: They're still alive, just not together. Listen to how audiences are taking the news.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Angelina and Brad are breaking up.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah.

MOOS: Even Brad's buddy George Clooney was surprised.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: ... on Angelina and your friend Brad -- they're divorcing.

GEORGE CLOONEY, AMERICAN ACTOR: I didn't know that.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She files.

CLOONEY: Wow. I feel very sorry. That's a sad story.

[04:55:01] MOOS: But not everyone was sad. Fans of Brad's ex-wife, Jennifer Anniston, created #justiceforjen. There were gifs of her smiling, gifs of her smirking.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is just ridiculous.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It seems like a whole other level.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Yeah.

MOOS: In London, Madame Tussauds' wax museum actually split up their wax figures, moving them apart. At a live performance, Adele dedicated her show, two hours of misery to Brangelina, calling it the end of an era.

ADELE, SINGER: It's time to say goodbye.

MOOS: In their last movie together, just last year, they played a couple melting down. Angelina joked.

ANGELINA JOLIE PITT, BRAD PITT'S WIFE: This is what ten years of marriage will do to you.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Come on. Let's do it.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Stop.

MOOS: But she said this wasn't them.

JOLIE: It's because we're actually very, very stable.

MOOS: That shattered image of stability had folks tweeting love is dead.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: What about love? Can love ever survive?

MOOS: There was even a love is dead poll offering only one option. An optimist tweeted, as long as the Obamas stay together, love is still real. Someone else joked, last power couple remaining is Mr. Salt and Mrs. Pepper.

With Angelina citing irreconcilable differences, we may never again hear the paparazzi yell this.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Guys, nice photo. Together please.

MOOS: Jeanne Moos, CNN ...

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You guys look awesome tonight, man.
