ZAIN ASHER, CNN ANCHOR: Donald Trump says he has zero regrets over a Twitter tirade he launched Friday at 3 o'clock in the morning.

And Hurricane Matthew is threatening the Caribbean, along with several island nations there. We'll have the latest from CNN Weather Center.

Plus, fighting between Pakistan and India is getting worse, with thousands of people being moved from harm's way.

Hello and welcome to our viewers in the United States and all around the world. I'm Zain Asher. This is CNN NEWSROOM.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

ASHER: All right. We begin with politics. Donald Trump says he has no regrets about his outburst on Twitter against a former Miss Universe at 3 o'clock in the morning on Friday. He lashed out at ex- beauty queen, Alicia Machado, accusing her of having a sex tape and a sordid past as well. And you can bet that Hillary Clinton had something to say about this. More now from our Jim Acosta.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Mr. Trump, why did you go on the late-night tweet storm last night?

ACOSTA (voice-over): When it comes to his battle with former Miss Universe Alicia Machado, Donald Trump is no Mr. Congeniality. In response to Machado's claim Trump called her "Miss Piggy" for gaining weight, the GOP nominee lashed out at the pageant winner in a series of bombastic tweets in the middle of the night.

"Did Crooked Hillary help disgusting (check out sex tape and past) Alicia M become a U.S. citizen so she could use her in the debate?"

And this: "Using Alicia M in the debate as a paragon of virtue just shows that Crooked Hillary suffers from bad judgment! Hillary was set up by a con."

The Trump campaign, which offers no proof Machado ever even appeared in a sex tape but says it's just firing back.

JACK KINGSTON, SENIOR ADVISER, DONALD TRUMP CAMPAIGN: I don't know Ms. Machado, but I've seen many of the interviews with her. She's not a very credible witness, you might say.

ACOSTA: Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta jumped into the fray, poking at Trump on Twitter: "I'm almost Trump's age so get the urge to get up in the middle of the night. But important safety tip: Don't reach for your phone."

Machado insists her past is not relevant, admitting to CNN...

ALICIA MACHADO, FORMER MISS UNIVERSITY: Everybody has a past and I'm no -- a saint girl, but that is not the point now.

ACOSTA: In a statement, she says Trump's latest attacks are cheap lies with bad intentions, adding Trump "insists on demoralizing women, minorities and people of certain religions through his hateful campaign. This is one of his most frightful characteristics."

Trump is also ripping into the Clintons, with not-so-subtle references to their past marital problems.

DONALD TRUMP (R), PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE: The Clintons are the sordid past. We will be the very bright and clean future.

ACOSTA: Raising questions of hypocrisy for Trump, who's on his third marriage.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You're not worried about your past history at all?

TRUMP: No, not at all. I have a very good history.

ACOSTA: Trump is also attacking the media, blasting reports that he was furious at aides for spilling the beans on his debate preparations, tweeting, "Remember, don't believe 'sources said' by the very dishonest media. If they don't name the sources, the sources don't exist."

(END VIDEOTAPE)

ALLEN: That was our Jim Acosta reporting there.

So the question is, is it really acceptable for a presidential candidate to fire off a tweet storm at 3 o'clock in the morning about a sex tape, among other things?

Anderson Cooper spoke a short time ago with political commentators Jeffrey Lord and Ana Navarro and he asked them that very question.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN HOST: Is this presidential behavior?

Would you want the president of the United States to be up at 4:00 am , encouraging people to go look for a sex tape? (LAUGHTER)

JEFFREY LORD, CNN POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: Yes, if it's worth looking for Anderson. Look, Anderson, seriously, seriously --

(CROSSTALK)

COOPER: I don't even know what that means.

LORD: I want to make this as a serious point.

COOPER: It is a serious point.

Would you want the President of the United States up at 4:00 am, telling Americans to -- kids, whoever is on his -- OK, yes.

LORD: Let me answer. What I'm trying to communicate to you is that there are a lot of Americans out there, who think that all of this presidential stuff and all of these kind of conventions that we have are horse hockey, that they're held by arrogant people, conventional people, who have disdain for the average guy.

And he is reaching out to them through Twitter in, yes, what we consider and what I would certainly consider to be unconventional methods.

ANA NAVARRO, CNN COMMENTATOR: And let me rescue my friend, Jeffrey. You know, he has grown on me like poisonous mushrooms. But he has grown on me.

Look, Jeff, at some point -- you know, you are a sane man. I mean, you do have a pathological, clinical need to mention Ronald Reagan in every sentence. But you are a good, decent human being. It is time that surrogates for Trump stop the insanity and let this man know that it is unjustifiable, it is inexplicable, it is illogical, it is irrational, it is immature --

[04:05:00]

NAVARRO: -- it is unpresidential, it is unseemly, it is disgusting and it is gross, for somebody who is five weeks away from an Election Day for President of the United States, leader of the free world, to be tweeting at 4:00 am in the morning about a sex tape.

For the love of God, Jeffrey, you know better than this. Stop justifying the unjustifiable.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ASHER: Ana Navarro getting heated there. So let's talk about what all this means in terms of polls, how this translates in terms of polls. We have a new national poll that shows that, after Tuesday's debate, Clinton actually ended up gaining some ground on Trump.

Want to show you the numbers. Let's pull them up on the screen. Clinton, you see there, she's at the lead -- in the lead, rather -- with 43 percent nationwide. Trump is slightly behind at 40 percent. This is according to a FOX News poll. But it's such a small (INAUDIBLE), basically just 2 points. So what we're looking at is pretty much a virtual tie because it is within the margin of error.

When you look at a few battleground states, though, Clinton has more of a reason to smile. So in Michigan, she's up by 7 points; she's up 42 percent. He's at 35 percent. In New Hampshire, which is another state that could pretty much go either way in November, she's also ahead by the same amount.

And in all-important Florida, the race has narrowed to just 4 points there. By the way, Florida is crucial in the election in the United States because it has chosen the eventual winner in the last five elections.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

ASHER: All right. I want to take you to the Middle East now because fighting in the city of Aleppo, Syria, is intensifying. The U.S. says that as many as 10,000 Syrian-led ground troops are gathering around Aleppo, preparing for a major assault against rebels while holding part of the city, part of Aleppo.

And the real tragedy in all of this, of course, lies with the number of civilians who have been caught in the middle of all of this fighting. This video I want to show you here really shows the humanitarian toll of this war. What you're looking at right here is just a heartbreaking video of a man being rescued from the rubble after attack.

Reports say that at least 12 people died on Friday after warplanes targeted a residential neighborhood. Our Nick Paton Walsh has a closer look at the city that is on the brink of collapse.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

NICK PATON WALSH, CNN SR. INTL. CORRESPONDENT: With the possibility of as many 10,000 Syrian-led fighters or troops near the rebel-held part of Eastern Aleppo, that is one U.S. estimate, there are potentially very dark days ahead for that area.

Already under a pretty effective form of siege that's lapsed at times but now seems to be depriving them of food but also intermittently of water as well; 300,000, by some suggestions, civilians trapped in that area.

They have faced bombardment for years but nothing like what they've seen in the past weeks or days. The U.N. suggesting that 96 children have been by that bombardment in just the last week, 223 injured, hard really to fathom numbers like that. They come at you so often during a civil war.

Perhaps easier to understand what one aid worker we spoke to said, "My nerves are fraught. I simply can't talk about this anymore."

He described how he has seen three rockets land just recently near him, body parts everywhere and how the people there had no hope in anyone to come to their assistance now apart from God.

That's the kind of desperation we're seeing in this area. Those clashes in that area suggesting an offensive that may be launched by those troops in the forthcoming days or weeks in the central area, first in Al-Bashir (ph), where we also heard this day that a barrel bomb landed, killing seven people there as well, including children.

It is a dark episode, indeed. That area of Aleppo has held out for years against regime forces and now it faces, perhaps, a more strategic and significant collapse, that of U.S. policy at this time.

John Kerry, the U.S. secretary of state, has been so keen that he believes that a diplomatic solution, working alongside his Russian counterpart, Sergey Lavrov, nay possibly ease the violence here. There'd be some U.S. officials who've cynically pointed out they don't trust the Russians here at all.

Even John Kerry himself has said, frankly, it's his only choice. It's clear that the White House doesn't want to put military resources into a conflict that could be seen to clash openly against Russian resources on the ground there.

But the question now is what really has Moscow been planning for the past couple of weeks?

The volume of resources now potentially available for this assault against Aleppo, if it does happen -- and there are many suggestions that it may be underway -- will take weeks to get into play.

And those same weeks should have been spent, have been spent by Moscow and Damascus talking, potentially, diplomacy and peace with its Washington counterpart. That has fallen apart now.

We're now seeing one of the darkest episodes of violence that have hit Syria in this already nightmarish civil war. The U.S. talking about sanctions, maybe, against Russia; the possibility of better armaments being supplied by Syrian rebels, by their Gulf allies, that might be able to target Russian and Syrian aircraft.

[04:10:00]

WALSH: A lot of talk here at this point. But the broader recognition, the U.S. is not going to commit ground troops here or potentially stop what many are already considering a war crime, the targeting of hospitals there as well.

Yes, this can be documented. This can be observed but it's unlikely there'll be an effective military response to stop it, certainly from outsiders, this looming now as potentially one of the darkest moments we have seen yet in Syria's civil war -- Nick Paton Walsh, CNN, Beirut.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

ASHER: So you heard Nick Paton Walsh saying that this is potentially one of the darkest moments we've seen in Syria's civil war so far. The U.N. actually says it's going to carry out an independent investigation into how its humanitarian relief trucks were actually attacked.

We only have a few details about what happened a few weeks ago but basically the convoy was near Aleppo, and it was preparing to deliver aid to people who desperately needed food, medicine, blankets and, instead, those supplies were completely destroyed and at least 18 people were killed, including the head of Syrian Arab Red Crescent in the area.

The blame game continues though, with the U.S. pointing the finger at Russian warplanes. Moscow has been repeatedly denying it.

A major hurricane appears to be headed for Jamaica. Hurricane Matthew has gained strength pretty quickly, I would say. It's been upgraded from a tropical storm to a category 5 hurricane. Category 5 hurricanes, by the way, are pretty rare.

The U.S. National Weather Service says it's the strongest hurricane in the Atlantic since 2007. It has sustained winds of up to 260 kilometers per hour.

For our American friends, that's 160 miles per hour. And it's not just Jamaica that it's in its path. It could also threaten other islands. Cuba, for example, Haiti and the Bahamas. Let's get the latest on the storm track.

(WEATHER REPORT)

[04:15:00]

DEREK VAN DAM, AMS METEOROLOGIST: Florida is in the cone of uncertainty, so they need to keep their guard up. But it is looking more and more likely that it will stay east of Florida.

ALLEN: OK. So right now, Jamaica --

(CROSSTALK)

VAN DAM: Cuba and Haiti.

ASHER: All right, Derek Van Dam, thank you so much. Appreciate that.

The controversial president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, has compared himself, yes, to Adolf Hitler. You'll hear Mr. Duterte explain why after the break.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

ASHER: Welcome back, everybody.

There are rising tensions right now between Pakistan and India. Both countries are blaming each other for the recent clashes in the disputed region of Kashmir. Both countries have laid claim to Kashmir for several decades. They've even gone to war over it. And it's been a major source of contention for nearly 70 years.

In fact, an Indian official says there were two separate shootings between troops on Saturday and that no one was killed. India has evacuated more than 10,000 people from border villages.

Pope Francis has wrapped up an outdoor mass in Georgia a short time ago. He led a service with about 3,000 people at a football stadium, a fairly small crowd, in fact, by Pope Francis' standards.

[04:20:00]

ASHER: Vatican correspondent Delia Gallagher is following the pope on his travels and she explains the reason for the fairly small turnout.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DELIA GALLAGHER, CNN VATICAN CORRESPONDENT: This is a primarily orthodox Christian country and there's only about 110,000 Catholics total. So this is one of the smaller papal masses I've ever been to.

This is a country that Pope Francis wanted to visit for a couple of reasons, one, because they know he's the pope of the periphery. He likes to go out even where there are small Catholic communities and maybe especially where there's small Catholic minorities to give them support but also to meet with the orthodox Christians.

You know, the orthodox Christians have been in a schism in the dispute with the Catholic Church for centuries now and it's something that the Vatican and many popes even before Pope Francis have always tried to heal.

And part of the way they do that is by visiting these countries. And the pope yesterday met with the orthodox patriarch of Georgia, Ilya II. The other reason Pope Francis comes here is because Georgia is a country which is also dealing with military conflict over two disputed territories with Russia.

So the pope's message here in Georgia is one of peace.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ASHER: So you heard Delia there say that his message in Georgia is one of peace and in terms of the small crowds, Pope Francis might actually have a similar experience when he visits Azerbaijan on Sunday because it is a predominantly Muslim country with only a few hundred Catholics.

The controversial president of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, has compared himself to Adolf Hitler. Seriously, to Adolf Hitler. Jewish groups are now demanding an apology. Our senior international correspondent Ivan Watson has more.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) IVAN WATSON, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: In his first few months in office, the president of the Philippines has been no stranger to controversy. But his latest comments may be his most inflammatory yet.

The tough-talking Rodrigo Duterte is now comparing himself to Adolf Hitler. Duterte suggested he'd like to kill millions of drug addicts just as Hitler massacred 6 million Jews during the Holocaust.

RODRIGO DUTERTE, PRESIDENT-ELECT, THE PHILIPPINES: Hitler massacred 3 million Jews. Now there is 3 million, what is it, 3 million drug addicts, there are. I'd be happy to slaughter them.

At least if Germany had Hitler, the Philippines, whatever, you know, maybe it was -- would like to be all criminals to finish the problem of my country and save the next generation from it.

WATSON (voice-over): Duterte's anti-drug crackdown has been brutal and bloody. Since he took office in June, police say they have killed more than 1,000 suspects, all purportedly in self-defense.

There's also been a surge of vigilante murders with killers leaving dozens of victims dead on the streets, next to signs accusing them of being drug pushers. This is being called "cardboard justice."

In his first months in office, Duterte has cursed Barack Obama and made controversial remarks about the U.S. ambassador to the Philippines and he also announced an end to future joint military exercises. That's raising questions about the future of the long- standing alliance between the U.S. and the Philippines.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

ASHER: That was our Ivan Watson reporting for us.

Israel has offered its final goodbyes to its former leader, Shimon Peres. Dozens of dignitaries joined Peres' family for his funeral Friday in Jerusalem. Peres died Wednesday morning at the age of 93. He led Israel as both prime minister and president, spending much of his life working towards peace. Here's our Nic Robertson with more.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

(MUSIC PLAYING)

NIC ROBERTSON, CNN INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC EDITOR (voice-over): A somber, solemn farewell, the last of Israel's founding fathers laid to rest, eulogists lionizing his life.

BILL CLINTON: He started off life as Israel's brightest student, became its best teacher and ended up its biggest dreamer.

ROBERTSON (voice-over): President Obama reminding all, Peres' biggest dream never fulfilled.

BARACK OBAMA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: "We won them all," he said of Israel's wars.

"But we did not win the greatest victory that we aspire to, release from the need to win victories."

ROBERTSON (voice-over): Among the dozens of international dignitaries, presidents, prime ministers past and present; notable in their absence, though, Arab leaders, reflecting perhaps Peres' more hawkish roots, decades ago supporting --

[04:25:00]

ROBERTSON (voice-over): -- Israeli settlers.

Regardless, Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas came, his first visit to Jerusalem since 2010; the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, shaking his hand.

From Obama, the Palestinian leader getting a very warm greeting, handshake and a hug.

Stark contrast to the frosty body language between the U.S. president and Netanyahu.

So much apparent symbolism this day: Britain's Prince Charles sporting a black-and-white check silk handkerchief in his breast pocket, to all the world resembling a Palestinian keffiyeh.

Aside the appearance of less than subtle hints of international discomfort with the lack of peace process here, clear cajoling of today's crowd.

OBAMA: And so now this work is in the hand of Israel's next generation.

ROBERTSON (voice-over): Clinton pointedly spelling out how Peres found his path to peace, how today's leaders might do the same.

BILL CLINTON: It's easy to say things like this at a memorial service. It's hard to do. First, he had to master his own demons, forgive himself for his own mistakes and get over his own disappointments.

ROBERTSON (voice-over): Words of hope for a family in grief, for a nation at a crossroads -- Nic Robertson, CNN, Jerusalem.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

ASHER: And there was a light-hearted moment, I want to show you, that took place after the funeral. President Obama was ready to go but one Air Force passenger who was traveling with him, Bill Clinton, was not.

So Mr. Obama hurried him along. Take a look at this.

That is literally President Obama getting off the plane to hurry former president Bill Clinton onto the plane. So, Clinton, who's climbing up the stairs there, he was actually

greeting people who were at the airport to see him off. And Clinton is, of course, known for being somewhat of a people person. He eventually went up the stairs, though. And the two men hugged it out and boarded the plane, President Obama being sort of very hands-on there.

Donald Trump goes on the attack against a former Miss Universe. But it's not clear if any of the fallout will hurt him or his closest advisers. We'll take a look at that coming up after the break.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[04:30:00]

(MUSIC PLAYING)

ZAIN ASHER, CNN ANCHOR: Welcome back to our viewers here in the United States and all around the world. You're watching CNN NEWSROOM. Let's get you caught up on your headlines at this hour.

(HEADLINES)

ASHER: All right. We turn now to the race for the White House. Hillary Clinton says that Trump's most recent Twitter rant at 3 o'clock in the morning proves that he's unfit to be president. She's been hitting battleground states, telling the crowds that Trump's behavior is, quite simply, not presidential. Here's our Brianna Keilar with more.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN SR. WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Hillary Clinton taunting Donald Trump after he went on an early morning Twitter tirade about former Miss Universe Alicia Machado.

CLINTON: I mean really, who gets up at 3 a.m. in the morning to engage in a Twitter attack against a former Miss Universe? Why does he do things like that?

I mean, his latest Twitter meltdown is unhinged, even for him.

KEILAR: Clinton is campaigning today in Florida, home to 29 electoral votes.

CLINTON: There are 39 days between now and November 8. Just 39 days left in the most important election in our lifetimes. We have to make every single day count.

KEILAR: The race there has been tight, but Clinton's debate performance is giving her a bump in the polls leading Trump in Florida by four points largely due to her advantage in the decisive I-4 corridor between Tampa and north Orlando. She's ahead by seven points in Michigan and New Hampshire. In Nevada, she's up six.

Clinton hopes the next debate, in a little over a week, will be a 1-2 punch, even as Donald Trump and his surrogates bring up Bill Clinton's infidelities.

KELLYANNE CONWAY, TRUMP CAMPAIGN MANAGER: It's fair game to think about how Hillary Clinton treated those women after the fact.

KEILAR: Clinton is not responding.

CLINTON: Look, he can say whatever he wants to say, as we well know.

KEILAR And she's still focusing on this.

TRUMP: I alone can fix it.

KEILAR: One of Donald Trump's key convention themes.

CLINTON: "I alone can fix it."

I alone?

Well, we've learned that that's his way. One person getting supreme power and exercising it ruthlessly. That's why he admires dictators like Vladimir Putin so much.

KEILAR: Looking at these new polls coming out of battleground states, Hillary Clinton is hoping to build on this bump with some help from the star power of her surrogates. Bernie Sanders, we know, is going to be in Michigan soon, campaigning for Hillary Clinton. He was just in New Hampshire with her --

[04:35:00]

KEILAR: -- this last week. And Elizabeth Warren is heading to Nevada next week -- Brianna Keilar, CNN, Washington.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

ASHER: So just when you thought that the U.S. presidential campaign could not get any more unpredictable, it did.

Nothing shocks me anymore.

Less than a day after Trump's Twitter tirade against a former Miss Universe, and he accused her of being a sex tape, the website BuzzFeed found this clip from a Playboy adult video made 16 years ago.

And if you look closely, you see Trump here briefly welcoming Playboy playmates to New York. He pours a bottle of champagne on a Playboy limo.

CNN has asked for a comment from the Trump campaign. A Clinton campaign spokesperson told reporters, quote, "There's been a lot of talk about sex tapes today. And in a strange turn of events, only one adult film has emerged and its star is Donald J. Trump."

Trump backer and former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich, has some advice for the White House hopeful.

He said "When it comes to Twitter, quite simply, just say no."

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

NEWT GINGRICH, FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER: I think what Trump's got to understand is he's either got to say I've got to be me or he's got to learn a new song, I've got to be president. They're not the same song. He's got to become much more disciplined.

For a while there, I thought he had really turned a corner. This last week, I think, has been, frankly, a lost week, a week which has hurt him, which has shaken his own supporters. And you know, you can't tweet at 3 o'clock in the morning.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ASHER: And nobody knows if the fallout from Trump's Twitter attack is going to hurt him, eventually, beginning of November. But people are using this incident to sort of take another look at what he said about women in the past. And Kyung Lah reports Trump is not the only one in the spotlight.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

DONALD TRUMP, REPUBLICAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: I do cherish women. I love women.

KYUNG LAH, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Trump's critics question if that is really true. But it's not only Trump who is facing scrutiny. Some of his closest advisers are as well.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We need to have a fight in the Republican Party for the soul of the conservative --

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I agree with you.

LAH (voice-over): Campaign CEO Steve Bannet (ph) in 1996, he faced misdemeanor domestic violence charges. His ex-wife, in the Santa Monica, California, police report alleging he grabbed her, an incident that the officer says left red marks on her left wrist and the right side of her neck. Those charges were dropped.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (voice-over): This is a FOX News alert. I'm --

LAH (voice-over): The man behind FOX News, Roger Ailes, is now an unofficial Trump campaign whisperer, although Trump won't officially acknowledge his role. FOX News ousted Ailes after multiple women accused him of sexual harassment; most prominently, anchor Gretchen Carlson, who received a $20 million settlement from FOX.

NEWT GINGRICH, FORMER HOUSE SPEAKER (from captions): You're not supposed to gain 60 pounds during the year that you're Miss Universe. (INAUDIBLE).

LAH (voice-over): That's former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, speaking this week, defending Trump's comments about Alicia Machado's weight gain after she won the crown. Gingrich is now a Trump adviser. He and Trump have both been married three times, both accused of infidelity.

In 2012, Gingrich's second wife recalled this about her former husband to ABC News.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, he was asking to have an open marriage and I refused.

LAH (voice-over): Then there's Rudy Giuliani, former New York City mayor and Trump backer. After Monday's debate, Giuliani spoke to reporters, bringing up Bill Clinton's affair, criticizing not just him but Hillary Clinton.

RUDY GIULIANI, FORMER MAYOR OF NYC: She attacked Monica Lewinsky. And after being married to Bill Clinton for 20 years, if you didn't know the moment Monica Lewinsky said that Bill Clinton violated her, she was telling the truth, then you're too stupid to be president.

LAH (voice-over): But Giuliani should be able to relate to marital strife. Married three times, he announced a separation to his second wife at a press conference before telling her, his divorce and affair playing out publicly on New York tabloid front pages.

LAH: Trump's closest advisers are not all male. His campaign manager is a woman, Kellyanne Conway. And another person who has his ear is also a woman, his daughter, Ivanka -- Kyung Lah, CNN, Los Angeles.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

ASHER: I want to turn now to some other stories we are following.

On Thursday, we told you about a deadly train crash in New Jersey. Now we're learning that investigators have recovered a potentially key piece of evidence from that crash. It is one of two event recorders, which are pretty similar to black boxes on trains -- planes.

It came from the locomotive in the back of the train and could tell us how fast the train was traveling.

One person was killed and over 100 others were injured when the train slammed into the Hoboken terminal on Thursday. Witnesses say the train did not slow down before the crash.

Protesters gathered in El Cajon, California, Friday night after police released video of the fatal shooting of an unarmed --

[04:40:00]

ASHER: -- black man. The footage that is coming up is graphic.

Police shot and killed the man Alfred Olango (ph) Tuesday when he pointed an e-cigarette at them. The incident was captured on cellphone and surveillance video as well. So if you look closely at this video, Olango (ph) can be seen standing

against the white truck on the right side of your screen. One officer approaches head-on and another then comes into frame from the right.

The police chief says that Olango (ph) rapidly drew an object as officers approached. He points it at the officers, one of whom shoots him four times -- four times. Both officers are now on administrative leave.

An Iraqi housewife has been fighting ISIS and, before, that Al Qaeda, for years. She says she lost loved ones in the fighting and has sworn revenge on the terrorists. Our Ben Wedeman has her story. And a warning again, some of the images in this report are graphic.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

WAHIDA MUHAMMAD, HOUSEWIFE: (Speaking foreign language).

BEN WEDEMAN, CNN SR. INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Wahida Muhammad (ph) counts all the times her house has been blown up: 2006, 2009, 2010, three cars in 2013 and 2014, she says.

Describing herself as a housewife, Wahida, better known as Um Hanadi (ph), took up arms and leads men into battle against ISIS and Al Qaeda before that.

"Six times they tried to assassinate me," she says.

"I have shrapnel in my head and legs. My ribs were broken. But all that didn't stop me from fighting."

Her first and second husbands were killed in action. And ISIS killed her father and three brothers.

"This justifies," she says, "the following, I fought them," she tells me, referring to ISIS.

"I beheaded them. I cooked their heads. I burned their bodies."

Grisly photos from her Facebook page bear out her words. Her men showed me the machete they say they use.

General Jemaah Anned (ph) heads combat operations in Saladin province. This is his explanation.

"She lost her brothers and husbands as martyrs," he says, "so out of revenge she formed her own force."

Last week Um Hanadi (ph) and her men took part in the battle to drive ISIS out of her native Shirqat (ph). All ISIS left behind was booby traps and a few dead bodies. Many of the residents stayed put or, like Um Hanadi (ph), joined the fighting.

These boys recount the travails of life under ISIS.

"There was no food, no school, nothing," says one. "They ruined us."

"If we lose Iraq again," says Um Hanadi (ph), we'll lose it forever.

In ways both tangible and intangible, this ravaged land has already lost itself -- Ben Wedeman, CNN, Shirqat (ph), Northern Iraq.

ASHER: Got to squeeze in a quick break here on CNN NEWSROOM. When we come back, Germany's biggest bank is taking investors on a wild ride. Up next, how Deutsche Bank's CEO is trying to calm fears while facing billions in fines.

Plus: van Gogh and the mob. How investigators brought two of the artist's stolen paintings back 14 years after the heist. That's next.

ASHER: Welcome back, everybody.

The state of Illinois is pulling billions of dollars from Wells Fargo bank over its state account scandal, just like California did on Wednesday. The state treasurer is expected to announce details on Monday.

Wells Fargo employees opened millions of unauthorized bank accounts in order to boost sales. The company is also dealing with suspicions that it retaliated against whistleblowers, underpaid employees and mistreated active military members as well.

And Deutsche Bank investors might be breathing a small sigh of relief after a wild trading session on Friday. Shares plummeted then actually ended up rebounding after the CEO said that worries over the bank's financial health were overstated. He says market forces are trying to weaken the bank. CNNMoney's Clare Sebastian has more.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

CLARE SEBASTIAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Deutsche Bank CEO says forces in the market are the cause of the bank's troubles and that's true to an extent. But those aren't the only forces at play here. Let's take a look. Low interest rates due to a continually sluggish economy in Europe and that is eating into the profits the bank can make on its loans.

Secondly, tighter regulations, there have been new rules on investment banking since 2008 and that is the biggest part of Deutsche Bank's business. That has also eaten into its profits. Then we have legal punishment -- we're not just talking about the latest penalty from the Justice Department here for selling mortgage- backed securities; Deutsche Bank has spent years paying for the sins of its past, from LIBOR rigging to violating U.S. sanctions.

And you can't just blame outside forces here. A key issue is capital. All banks have had to increase their capital buffer since the financial crisis. And many believe Deutsche Bank has simply been too slow. It has been cutting jobs and selling off parts of the business.

But the worry is all of these other forces out there will not be enough to counteract that. And there -- let's move on because this matters for one key reason.

And Deutsche Bank is huge. It has $2 trillion in assets. That is well over half the size of the German economy. And it's not just about the size of the bank. Deutsche Bank is one of the most interconnected banks in the world, as this diagram shows from the IMF.

It has dealings with pretty much all of the world's biggest banks, mainly through billions of dollars in derivative contracts. If the bank fails, then all of these other banks could lose out. The bottom line for many: it's simply too big and too interconnected to fail -- Clare Sebastian, CNNMoney, New York.

ASHER: One of the biggest art crimes in recent years has now been solved. Police now have their hands on two stolen paintings by Vincent van Gogh. Crooks actually nabbed them from the van Gogh museum in Amsterdam back in 2002 in a hugely publicized heist back them.

Officials found the paintings while raiding a group linked to the Italian mafia.

The paintings date back to the late 1880s. The New York museum says that they have great historical significance beyond just their price tag of roughly $30 million.

ASHER: However, The Netherlands has to wait for the criminal trial before they end up getting the paintings back.

ASHER: Emojis and texting have become a second language for many teenagers. But one hijab-wearing teen in Berlin noticed that something was missing: there weren't any emojis that looked like her. That could be changing soon. Our Atika Shubert explains.

RAYOUF AL HUMEDHI, EMOJI CREATOR: My name's Rayouf Al Humedhi. I'm 15 years old. I moved to Berlin five years ago. And I'm from Saudi Arabia.

ATIKA SHUBERT, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Is this where you were when you had the idea?

AL HUMEDHI: Yes. It's like everything that I do is in this room. Like honestly because it's just so much better being in your room.

My friends and I were creating a group chat on WhatsApp and we decided to name the group chat name "Emojis of Ourselves." And I obviously had no emoji to represent me, which is what got me thinking. I started questioning why there --

[04:55:00]

AL HUMEDHI: -- isn't one to represent me.

So I just created a proposal -- it was a week before school started. You have nothing to lose. And I just wanted to ask for an emoji, simple as that. I really had no initial idea in my mind of how it was supposed to look like. I just wanted it to have -- to be available in different skin tones because, you know, it's not just a brown skin color. Millions of women from different races do wear it.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hello.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Hi.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: How are you?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: How are you?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Good, thank you.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think it's because, you know, we're visual people. So communicating just through text, it's kind of hard to get across your emotion. So having little images, even though they are so small, is actually really helpful when you are trying to communicate what you are feeling and thinking.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Do you have a favorite?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, definitely the hijab emojis.

(LAUGHTER)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Thank you.

AL HUMEDHI: Everybody uses them. My dad uses them, my mom. Like no matter what age you are, phones and digitalization have really encroached our lives in every possible aspect.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: My dad told me (INAUDIBLE).

But on the bottom he saw (INAUDIBLE).

(LAUGHTER)

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (INAUDIBLE).

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: And not only that, they called her Berlinen (ph).

(CROSSTALK)

AL HUMEDHI: It obviously won't change the world. And no one will like, say, go headscarves, yay. You know? It's not going to do that.

But it's like I said before indirectly promote tolerance because once people realize that like women wearing headscarves are not just people on the news.

And once they begin to show up on our phones, that will establish that notion that we are normal people carrying out daily routines just like you.

I did that because I wanted to be represented, as simple as that. I just wanted an emoji of me.

ASHER: All right. Thank you so much for joining us. I'm Zain Asher. I'll be back after the break with another hour of news from all around the world. Don't go away.
