Turkey's Failed Coup Anniversary; Mayweather versus McGregor.
ALLEN: Welcome back. The Pentagon confirms a U.S. raid killed the leader of ISIS' Afghanistan affiliate Tuesday. A drone strike hit ISIS Khorasan headquarters in Kunar province to the east of Kabul. U.S. commanders had promised to drive the terror group out of the country by the end of this year. Two German women were killed in a knife attack Friday on a beach in Egypt on the country's Red Sea coast. Four other tourists were wounded. Investigators believe the assailant swam from a public beach to a beach resort area and attacked six women who were there. Turkey is marking a major anniversary. It has been one year since a failed coup attempt to topple Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. A state of emergency is still in effect and so is a government crackdown. There are reports that more than 7,000 police, academics and civil servants have just been dismissed. Here is what Mr. Erdogan said about the purge.</s>RECEP TAYYIP ERDOGAN, PRESIDENT OF TURKEY (through translator): They are asking how many people are dismissed from work, how their needs will be met from now on. Let them work in the private sector. Why should we care? Will we think about them? Let them work in the private sector. Will the state look after them? The state looked after them and they betrayed the state.</s>ALLEN: Events to mark the anniversary are planned for the coming hours. A national unity march is set for later in Istanbul, despite the country's political division. CNN's Gul Tuysuz has this report on a mother who defied soldiers during the coup.</s>GUL TUYSUZ, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Few people knew Sophia Bayat (ph) before this moment. She led a seemingly quiet and simple life. But this conservative mother of two surprised even herself. During the coup attempt last year when she stood up to tanks and soldiers, she said she made a split-second decision that night when she turned on the TV, that she would go out to confront the soldiers trying to topple the government of Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. She says, as a woman, she thought she might be able to stop the soldiers and appeal to their conscience. "But they only had anger and violence in return," she tells us. She says when she wouldn't leave, they threatened to shoot her. "I told them I wasn't afraid of them," she says. "They roughed me up but I kept saying, 'I am not afraid,' and that they could shoot me if they wanted to." When soldiers begin firing on the crowd, Bayat (ph) says she was shot in the leg while trying to carry away the wounded. A strong supporter of Turkey's president, Bayat (ph) is glad to see those who she believes are responsible for the coup behind bars. And while many in Turkey are united behind Turkey's president, for others, the post-coup Turkey has become an intolerably oppressive place.</s>TUYSUZ: Since the coup attempt, the government has declared a state of emergency. More than 100,000 people have been detained or arrested. Tens of thousands of workers, including civil servants, teachers and journalists have been dismissed from their jobs. Critics of the government say that the post-coup crackdown has turned into a cleansing of all voices of dissent, with both the coup and the crackdown leaving scars on an already fractured nation -- Gul Tuysuz, CNN, Istanbul.</s>ALLEN: The body of Liu Xiaobo has been cremated at a private ceremony in China. The Chinese Nobel Peace Prize winner died Thursday from multiple organ failure after having cancer. He had been serving an 11-year sentence for what China ruled was inciting subversion of state power. And although he was allowed to go to hospital, he remained in custody. The human rights proponent was 61. His case was condemned internationally. In Hong Kong, hundreds of people protested against the high court's decision to disqualify four lawmakers from their post for failing to take their oaths properly. Protesters worry the court's decision gives Beijing's pro-government allies more power, violating the governing principle of one country, two systems. Breaking news from Tehran, where Iranian media is reporting that police have shot and killed --</s>ALLEN: -- a subway attacker. Three people were reportedly injured. We'll bring you more information on this as it becomes available. Well, dramatic video out of Southern China as a dashcam captures a landslide that buried cars. And Derek Van Dam is here. Is this the area where so many people have been evacuated?</s>DEREK VAN DAM, AMS METEOROLOGIST: Yes, it continues and it is in the southern sections of China. This landslide was triggered by extremely heavy rainfall in a short period of time. Check out this heart-stopping moment. We've got the footage here to show you. Several vehicles, including a truck, being violently swept away by the force of this mud flow. Look at the replay here again. You see how much force is behind it. Eight vehicles in total were caught in the landslide; 16 drivers and passengers affected. One was actually left trapped inside his car, Natalie, but the rest managed to escape through the windows of their vehicles. Firefighters were sent to the scene and rescued the trapped man immediately.</s>ALLEN: Depending on whom you ask, it is either the biggest boxing match in years or a total farce. Whatever you think of the fight, Floyd Mayweather versus Conor McGregor has at least one thing going for it: a borderline dangerous dose of swagger. Our Nick Glass is following their promotional roadshow.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Here they are, ladies and gentlemen!</s>NICK GLASS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): They've been jabbering away like parrots all week. A face-off is what they like to call it. And after four different venues, began to seem a little bit repetitious though, sartorially, they did ring the changes a bit. Mayweather, on the left, got higher heels so he could face off with McGregor eye-to-eye and they traded racial and sexual insults and just a few profanities.</s>FLOYD MAYWEATHER, BOXER: I don't give a</s>CONOR MCGREGOR, MIXED MARTIAL ARTIST AND BOXER: He's in a</s>GLASS (voice-over): Some of the time you couldn't hear what they were saying precisely, which is probably as well. This is sport as show biz, fighters strutting their stuff, choreographed, if not scripted. Conor McGregor swaggered through it all in his own sort of simian way or was introduced first. He's never boxed professionally in his life but he knows how to promote himself.</s>MCGREGOR: How's this suit look?</s>MCGREGOR: It says</s>GLASS (voice-over): For his first appearance he wore a bespoke suit with a two-word expletive beginning with F and ending with you sewn down the pinstripe.</s>STEPHEN ESPINOZA, EVP, SHOWTIME SPORTS: This event is sort of like a summer blockbuster movie. This is "Transformers," you know. It is fun, it is -- you know, it is mass market.</s>GLASS: But is it sport? Well, I think, you know, when we get into the ring, I think there will be no doubt. Simply, this is all about the Benjamins, as they say, mainly the money. McGregor seemed like the kid who just won a Willie Wonka golden ticket.</s>MCGREGOR: That's what I like! All y'all doing is putting money in my account. Baby, we did it!</s>GLASS: Do you enjoy the promotional round?</s>MAYWEATHER: It's grueling. It's rough. Different countries, different cities. It is rough but --</s>GLASS: Tougher than the fight?</s>MAYWEATHER: No, no.</s>GLASS: More competitive than the fight?</s>MAYWEATHER: No, no.</s>GLASS: More interesting than the fight?</s>MAYWEATHER: But this is what I signed up for.</s>GLASS (voice-over): The bookmakers and most boxing experts make Mayweather a heavy odds-on favorite. The fight is entirely on his terms. In a boxing ring, using 10-ounce boxing gloves rather than the four-ounce more concussive martial arts gloves that McGregor usually fights with.</s>GLASS: Isn't this fight a foregone conclusion?</s>GARETH DAVIES, "DAILY TELEGRAPH": On paper, Floyd Mayweather is an alarming favorite. This is one of the greatest mismatches in a big fight we will ever see. Yet, there's this X factor about this Irishman. He's got something about him, where he seems to make the impossible possible.</s>MAYWEATHER: I'm 40 but I look 20.</s>MCGREGOR: And you act 10.</s>MAYWEATHER: Yes.</s>GLASS (voice-over): If nothing else, McGregor was the clear winner of this week's promotional circus, verbally quicker, wittier and brimming with self-belief. Both men are expecting to make fortunes out of the fight. Mayweather is talking a nice round $300 million for himself.</s>DAVIES: David fought Goliath, remember, all of those many centuries ago and that would have been on Pay-Per-View as well and would have done big numbers.</s>GLASS (voice-over): -- Nick Glass, CNN, on the road with Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor.</s>ALLEN: Well, please allow us a little self-promotion, just a little smidge of it. On Monday in a CNN exclusive, the Duchess of Cornwall: we'll show you the different sides of Camilla, known as the friendliest member of the royal family and she has a cordial relationship with the news media. In a rare interview, she talks with CNN's Max Foster about how she is helping victims of domestic violence.</s>CAMILLA, DUCHESS OF CORNWALL: I think we can talk. It was such a taboo subject. But I think we can talk about it now. And if I can talk about it and bang the drum a bit, so can a lot of other people. So that's what I'm trying to do to help.</s>ALLEN: Often seen but rarely heard, more of our chat with the Duchess of Cornwall, as we follow her only on CNN. Finally, people can get into all sorts of trouble trying to take that perfect selfie like this woman in Los Angeles. She accidentally leaned against a row of art displays -- and watch what happens. The art tumbles like dominoes, causing about $200,000 in damage. And don't even know if she got to post her selfie. That's CNN NEWSROOM. I'm right back with the headlines.
