[02:00:41] NATALIE ALLEN, CNN ANCHOR: It's all ahead here this hour on CNN NEWSROOM.

Welcome to our viewers around the world. I'm Natalie Allen.

Our top story, the father of a Japanese boy, missing for nearly a week, is apologizing, for trying to teach him a lesson that went very wrong. Japanese officials say the 7-year-old was found by Japan's self-defense forces on a military exercise field. Officials say he had no notable injuries. His parents said they left him on the side of a mountain road as punishment for throwing stones as people and passing cars.

For more on this story, we're joined now by Journalist Mike Fern in Tokyo.

Hello to you, Mike. How is this little boy doing right now?

MIKE FERN, TOKYO JOURNALIST: Well, he is in hospital and the doctors there say he's dehydrated, also slightly malnourished. He's got scratches on his arms and legs. But they say, given the ordeal he's been through, he's in surprisingly good condition.

We know that he walked for at least six kilometers on Saturday evening on mountain tracks to get to this self-defense force training camp. He found one of the huts was unlocked. He went inside and slept between two mattresses to keep warm and drank water from a tap outside. But he didn't apparently have anything to eat.

When he was found by three members of the SDF this morning, who confirmed his name, he said, "I'm very hungry." So they gave him some rice balls to eat and some water to drink -- Natalie?

ALLEN: It's amazing he went without food for that long. There's been a statement from the family. What did they have to say about this? And has the family been reunited?

FERN: Yeah, the father and the mother and his elder sister met him in the hospital, and apparently he was pleased to see them. Later, there was a conference by Tanoka, who is the father. He was in tears. He had his head bowed. He said that he told his son, he was very, very sorry. And he said the boy nodded in response. He said he wanted to teach him a lesson for throwing stones, but he realizes he went too far. And now he wants to show his son love and to watch him growing up.

He also apologized to the school that the boy goes to, and to the rescuers for the inconvenience that he caused. But there are reports that police may charge the parents with neglect for leaving the boy by the roadside in the mountains -- Natalie?

ALLEN: Overall, a happy ending that he's alive and well.

Mike Fern, in Tokyo. Thank you very much, Mike.

A fight over foreign policy is breaking out between the U.S. presidential front-runners. Democrat Hillary Clinton says her Republican rival, Donald Trump, would make the world a more dangerous place and he's not fit for the White House. Her scathing remarks came during a speech to 250 invited guests in San Diego, California, on Thursday.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

HILLARY CLINTON, (D), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE & FORMER SECRETARY OF STATE: Thank you, San Diego. Donald Trump's ideas aren't just different. They are dangerously incoherent. They're not even really ideas, just a series of bizarre rants, personal feuds, and outright lies.

(APPLAUSE)

CLINTON: He is not just unprepared. He is temperamentally unfit to hold an office that requires knowledge, stability, and immense responsibility.

(APPLAUSE)

CLINTON: This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes, because it's not hard to imagine Donald Trump leading us into a war just because somebody got under his very thin skin.

(CHEERING)

ALLEN: Heather Connelly is a senior vice president at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. She's also a former U.S. Deputy assistant secretary of state under Colin Powell.

I asked her what she thought of Clinton's speech.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) [02:05:11] HEATHER CONLEY, SENIOR VICE PRESIDENT, CENTER FOR STRATEGIC & INTERNATIONAL STUDIES & FORMER U.S. DEPUTY ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF STATE: Secretary Clinton gave a very powerful speech and a real indictment about Donald Trump's contradiction of foreign policy. He is so difficult to analyze, because we go from one issue to another, really contradicting decades of U.S. foreign and security policy. It was an important statement. I think many Republicans could have given this same speech, to say that we have to stand with our allies. We cannot support cutting deals with the likes of Russian President Vladimir Putin. And we have to lead. We can't hide behind walls. So I think she gave a very powerful statement today.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ALLEN: Donald Trump got his chance to respond in San Jose, California, but his comments may have been overshadowed by another violent scene outside the venue. Anti-Trump protesters clashed with his supporters, throwing eggs, jumping on cars, setting a U.S. flag on fire. As for Clinton, Trump says she should be in jail over her e- mail scandal and HE called her foreign policy speech a hit job.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DONALD TRUMP, (R), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE & CEO, TRUMP ORGANIZATION: Pathetic. It was pathetic.

(BOOING)

TRUMP: It was so sad to watch.

And you know, she's up there and supposed to be a foreign policy speech. It was a political speech. Had nothing to do with foreign policy. She made a political speech tonight, folks, and it was a pretty pathetic deal.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ALLEN: Before Clinton's foreign policy speech, Trump was launching a major counteroffensive in California. He was making the case that the former secretary of state will be weak on the world stage. This comes as he picked up a key ally.

Here's senior White House correspondent, Jim Acosta.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

JIM ACOSTA, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): For Donald Trump, it's a huge relief. House Speaker Paul Ryan is setting aside concerns he voiced only weeks ago --

REP. PAUL RYAN, (R-WI), SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE: I'm just not ready to do that at this point.

ACOSTA: -- and is getting behind the presumptive GOP nominee. Writing in an op-ed in his hometown paper, "I'll be voting for him this fall. It's no secret that he and I have our differences, but the reality is, on the issues that make up our agenda, we have more common ground than disagreement."

ANNOUNCER: Donald J. Trump!

ACOSTA: Ryan's support comes as Trump is locked in a battle with Hillary Clinton over who would make the best commander-in-chief. Trump insists he has the look of a winner.

TRUMP: They talk about me, actually, a lot of people think I look extremely presidential, if you want to know the truth.

(CHEERING)

TRUMP: But do you really believe that Hillary is presidential? This is not presidential material.

ACOSTA: Before Clinton's attack on Trump's foreign policy --

CLINTON: This is not someone who should ever have the nuclear codes.

ACOSTA: -- the real estate tycoon was on the attack, "With all the Crooked Hillary Clinton's foreign policy experience, Trump tweeted, "she has made so many mistakes, I mean, real monsters."

Campaigning in California, Trump accused Clinton of lying about some of his foreign policy proposals.

TRUMP: They sent me a copy of the speech, and it was such lies about my foreign policy that -- they said I want Japan to nuke. I want Japan to get nuclear weapons. Give me a break.

ACOSTA: But hold on, Trump did float that idea to Anderson Cooper earlier this year.

ANDERSON COOPER, CNN ANCHOR, A.C. 360: It's been a U.S. policy for decades to prevent Japan from getting nuclear weapons.

TRUMP: That's been policy. Maybe it's going to have to be time to change.

ACOSTA: Trump always used this ad from 2008 used against then-Senator Barack Obama in 2008.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

ANNOUNCER: It's 3:00 a.m. and your children are safe and asleep.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ACOSTA: And alleged she was sleeping during the deadly attack in Libya on the U.S. compound in Benghazi. Even though, in her testimony before Congress last year, she said she, quote, "Did not sleep all night."

TRUMP: She ends up with Benghazi. Remember the famous phone call, at 3:00 in the morning, she'll answer the call. Guess what? She was sleeping. She was sleeping like a baby. Don't wake me up. ACOSTA: Trump is also teeing off on the decision by pro golf

officials to move a major tournament from his club in Florida to Mexico. That won't happen again, Trump claimed, if he wins the White House.

TRUMP: This stuff is all going to stop. Everybody's moving to Mexico.

ACOSTA: Former Secretary of State James Baker who recently met with Trump told "The Financial Times," "Isolationism and protectionism won't work. Don't talk no trade deals, make a better deal. Don't talk about making Japan and South Korea nuclear powers."

TRUMP: And these are all people that are hand-picked by me.

[02:09:51] ACOSTA: But he has plans to re-open Trump University despite two suits brought by former students and a suit filed by New York State attorney general, Trump now says, "After the litigation is disposed of and the case is won," Trump tweeted, "I have instructed my execs to open Trump U. So much interest in it. I will be pres."

(END VIDEOTAPE)

ALLEN: I spoke earlier with Ron Meyer, the editor of the conservative "Red Alert Politics" about Trump's latest endorsement and a big concern among leading Republicans.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

RON MEYER, EDITOR, RED ALERT POLITICS: I think Paul Ryan is where a lot of conservatives are, where a lot of our readers are, where we're waiting to be convinced by Donald Trump. And Paul Ryan felt convinced.

We know who the choices are now. It's Donald Trump, Gary Johnson, the Libertarian candidate, and Hillary Clinton. Gary Johnson is just as liberal on foreign policy and a whole host of issues as Hillary Clinton or worse. And so there isn't really a good alternative for Republicans to turn to, as far as a third-party candidate. There's been rumors going around, but you have to remember, to be in all 50 states, you'd have already had to file as a third-party candidate. So Paul Ryan is looking at his options.

Ultimately, that's what elections are, the unfortunate reality. A lot of us in the conservative movement aren't wild about voting for Donald Trump, but it's getting to the point of, well, do you just not check a box, or what do you do, especially when you have Hillary Clinton making speeches like that. It makes me really uncertain if I want to help Hillary Clinton by not voting for the Republican when she's out there making speeches like this, basically, doubling down on George W. Bush's failed foreign policy, saying that she'll create more unease in the Middle East, more unease overseas by pushing U.S. involvement in places where we haven't seen success.

ALLEN: Finally, Senate majority leader, Mitch McConnell, said he's worried Trump will ruin the GOP's relationship with Hispanics beyond repair. He referenced Barry Goldwater, who alienated black voters in the '60s. Here's what he told CNN's Jake Tapper. Listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

SEN. MITCH MCCONNELL, (R-KY), SENATOR MAJORITY LEADER: I think that the attacks that he's routinely engaged in, for example, going after Susana Martinez, the Republican governor of New Mexico, the chairman of the Republican Governors Association, that was a big mistake.

What he ought to be doing now is unify the party. And I think attacking people once you have won, is a time, if you can, to be gracious and try to bring the party together. So I don't agree with everything Trump says or does. But I do know that we now have a choice, a choice between two very unpopular candidates.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ALLEN: Well, Trump doesn't seem all that concerned with alienating Latinos. Are you? Should the rest of the party be concerned?

MEYERS: Well, yeah, I think we should be concerned, especially with Millennials. A lot of Millennials, if you look at that population, there's more Hispanic Millennials than the rest of the demographics. So it's definitely an issue, a future issue. The future of the country is going to be Millennials, a more diverse group of voters. So really we shouldn't be talking about ethnicities, especially with him criticizing a judge potentially for being Hispanic, and that's why he shouldn't rule on the Trump University case, comments like that and his comments against Susana Martinez aren't going to help his case and the conservative movement. And frankly, it's what a lot of us were warning during the campaign, is that we can't just think of Donald Trump's candidacy as Donald Trump's candidacy. He's the representative of the Republican Party. Is this really who we want out there? Unfortunately, we're stuck in this position. That's why I think it's important for the leaders out there, Mitch McConnell, Paul Ryan, publications like ours, to go out there and say, this isn't who Republicans are.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

ALLEN: Ron Meyer there for us.

Coming up, two U.S. military jets crash on Thursday in two different incidents. We'll have the status of the pilots when we come back.

(SPORTS REPORT)

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

(HEADLINES)

[02:19:07] ALLEN: The U.S. State Department is now admitting it edited out footage concerning secret talks between the U.S. and Iran before posting it online. The press briefing in question was from 2013. State Department officials routinely post the briefings, which happen almost every day. A reporter realized the omission while researching a story. The deleted video involves his question about a previous denial that talks about a nuclear deal were taking place.

Elise Labott explains it from here.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

ELISE LABOTT, CNN GLOBAL AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): This was certainly an instance where the State Department didn't say, I can't talk to you about any questions that you have about Iran talks. They said there were no talks. So that's lie number one.

Then, when they found that there were talks, they admitted that they lied. Then they lied about what happened with the glitch.

And then when John Kirby, to his credit, actually did an investigation, not a very thorough one, I might add, but did an investigation, and found that someone at the State Department called and asked for that video to be edited out, which is really outrageous. And so that's lie number three.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

[02:20:26] ALLEN: Elise Labott there with that story.

Well, for the first time in Olympic history, a team made up entirely of refugees is going to compete. A short list of 43 athletes has been compiled, and in the coming hours, the IOC will name the official refugee team for the games in Rio.

Shasta Darlington introduces us to some candidates.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

SHASTA DARLINGTON, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Papoula Missinga (ph) has reined in his brutal tactics, aiming for gold as part of the new refugee team, training in his adopted home, Brazil.

PAPOULA MISSINGA (ph), REFUGEE OLYMPIC ATHLETE HOPEFUL (through translation): My fight in the Olympics would be for all of the refugees, to give them faith in their dreams.

DARLINGTON: But it was a violent road that started in the Democratic republic of Congo. During the five-year conflict that ended in 2003, more than five million people were killed, and millions more left homeless.

Missinga (ph) was separated from his family during the war and, to this day, doesn't know if they survived.

He said he was mistreated when he lost matches. His coach says the experience made him aggressive.

"In Congo, they always had to win or they were punished in a cage," he says.

He came to Rio in 2013 to compete in the world judo championship and he stayed and requested asylum, a decision he doesn't regret, although he faces unexpected challenges.

"I thought I'd make a better life here and forget what was going on in my village," he says. "But here, shots are fired every day."

We visit Missinga (ph) in the working class neighborhood where he now lives with his Brazilian wife and toddler son.

(on camera): This is where he gets the bus every day to go to training, three different buses, two and a half hours. He doesn't get home until around 11:30 at night.

(voice-over): He shows us the hair salon where he slept on the floor where he first arrived, until he met Fabiana (ph). She says the Olympics are about much more than competing for a medal.

"He needs this, because it could help him find his siblings," she says. "He hasn't seen them since he was a kid."

Missinga (ph) says he wants to bring them to his new home, to Brazil.

ALLEN: Iraqi forces are fighting for Fallujah. Up next, how close they could be from taking back this major city from ISIS.

Plus, France is dealing with a natural disaster now. The latest on flooding in Paris and the impact on tourists and residents throughout the area. We'll have a live report coming up.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[02:27:49] ALLEN: And welcome back. You're watching CNN NEWSROOM. I'm Natalie Allen.

Let's update you on our top stories.

(HEADLINES)

ALLEN: Iraqi security forces appear ready to storm Fallujah soon and take it from ISIS. But a big concern is the number of civilians the terrorists might be using as human shields.

CNN's senior international correspondent, Ben Wedeman, is live in Baghdad right now.

Any word on when Iraqi government forces will move in and what they're trying to do to avoid hurting or impacting civilians that are trapped in Fallujah, Ben?

BEN WEDEMAN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, Natalie, what we've seen in the last, almost two weeks since this offensive began, is that the Iraqi military and associated groups have been trying to clear the countryside around Fallujah. Fallujah is a fairly large city. Under normal times, it had a population of about 300,000. Yesterday, the Iraqi army announced they had been able to cut the last route into Fallujah. That is the town leading from Fallujah to Sackulawea (ph) in the northwestern area around the city. So now the city is completely surrounded. They're quite close to the edges of the town.

[02:30:00:] For instance, in one area, they're just 400 meters from the neighborhood of Shu Hadel (ph), which is in the southwest of the city. But they've been hesitant to go inside, because we know there are hundreds of ISIS fighters who have dug trenches and tunnels around the city. They've been in control of Fallujah since January 2014. Just the other day, when the Iraqi army tried to enter the city from the south, there was an ISIS counterattack that went on for four hours. Now yesterday there were reports that the offensive had been halted, in part, because of concern about the approximately 50,000 civilians still inside the city, but those reports were denied by, among others, Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al Abadi who said the offensive was ongoing and still on schedule. But as yet, they have not actually entered the city itself. And it's difficult to say at this point when exactly that's going to happen -- Natalie?

ALLEN: And, Ben, what do we know about Fallujah itself, what the city has endured under ISIS control?

WEDEMAN: Well, certainly in the initial period when ISIS took over, it actually was fairly calm and peaceful. Although obviously the restrictions imposed by ISIS upon people and simply the way they live their ordinary lives were quite difficult. But since September of last year, there's been a concentration of Iraqi forces, not completely surrounding the city, but around the city, and therefore it's been basically since then was the last time any sort of relief supplies were able to reach the inhabitants. There's an extreme shortage of food. Relief agencies say that many people are simply subsisting on old dates from the date groves around the city. There's a very severe shortage of medicine. There is food inside the city. It's very expensive. And much of it is being hoarded by ISIS itself. So the few people who have been able to get out tell stories of starvation, of mal nutrition, and of course horrific conditions in the hospitals -- Natalie?

ALLEN: And finally, Ben, if Iraq gets Fallujah back from ISIS, what would this victory mean overall to the fight to knock down ISIS in the region?

WEDEMAN: Well, symbolically, it would be extremely important, since it was the first city that is took control of. In practical terms, for instance, many of the car bombs that have plagued Baghdad in recent months, for instance, just a few weeks ago, there was a spate of car bombs which left around 200 people dead. On Monday, there were three car bombs in Baghdad, killing 22 people. Iraqi intelligence believes many of those car bombs and the suicide bombers are coming from -- or were coming from Fallujah. So to gain control of the city would perhaps stop this wave of attacks that's been happening. And beyond that, it's important to keep in mind that Fallujah is on the main road route from Baghdad to Jordan. And since Fallujah was taken over by ISIS in January 2014, that road has been either restricted in terms of traffic, or cut off altogether. So to restore that route -- land route between Jordan and Baghdad would be good for Baghdad, and also good for Jordan as well.

So you have a variety of implications, quite positive, if the Iraqi army is able to crush is once and for all in Fallujah -- Natalie?

ALLEN: Thank you very much. Our man, Ben Wedeman in Baghdad for us on the fight to get Fallujah back. Thanks, Ben.

Fighting and fleeing ISIS is all too real for one Yazidi family. A child only 6 years old, forced to build bombs for the terror group. Unlike so many others, she and her family escaped.

Arwa Damon has their story from northern Iraq.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

(CROSSTALK)

ARWA DAMON, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Ashia twirls the end of her braid as we try to talk to her. Under ISIS captivity, the emir had ordered her to assemble bombs.

Her mother, Delleen (ph), cradling her youngest, says she barely speaks and is now afraid of strangers.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (through translation): The work to make the bombs was at the basement of the building we were in. It took my daughter from 5:00 p.m. until 1:00 a.m.

DAMON: Aisha was only 6 years old at the time. ISIS threatened to kill her if she refused to obey their orders.

Ashia finally speaks.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (through translation): We were in a place and they would dress us in all black. There was material and sugar and powder. And we would weight them on a scale and heat them and pack the artillery.

[02:35:07] DAMON: An ISIS militant would then place the wires to complete the bomb.

The family was among the thousands of Yazidis captured by ISIS. The last time Delleen (ph) says she saw her husband, his arms were in the air and he was being marched away.

Delleen (ph) was sold and raped regularly. She did not resist. The children's lives were at stake. But she also knew that she had to escape before Ashia turned of age,

where ISIS would consider her suitable for marriage. Finally, their captor left for an operation, giving Delleen (ph) the chance to call a relative, who was already smuggling captive Yazidis out of ISIS territory.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (through translation): I begged him to hurry up and get us before they would take my daughter.

DAMON: She tells us she can only hope that one day perhaps Ashia will forget she was an ISIS slave and will know what it is to be happy.

As for her, it's too late.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE (through translation): My husband is always on my mind. I'm always aware that he's not with me. So I cannot forget what we went through.

DAMON: Arwa Damon, CNN, Dohuk, northern Iraq.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

ALLEN: Tune in Friday for Arwa's reports on Iraq, investigating is atrocities and the suffering of Yazidi women under is rule like the story you just heard. "ISIS in Iraq" airs Friday at 4:30 in the afternoon in London.

The rush is on right now to save priceless works of art from flooding. Rising waters are moving closer to the Louvre in Paris.

CNN's international correspondent, Jim Bittermann, is live there.

This must be historical flooding for the city, and has the Louvre ever been in a position like this, Jim?

JIM BITTERMANN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, it has, actually, Natalie. There have been times in the past when they had to evacuate the works of art, especially in the basement. In fact, we're watching the water levels rise right now. The water's at about almost 20 feet over their normal levels. And that's almost equal to the flood of 1982, which a lot of people remember here, including myself. And it could reach that high later on today. They're waiting to see, they think around midday the levels will be that high.

At the Louvre, they've shut it down, so the staff can be pressed into service moving works of art from the basement. They're legendary because of the storage capacity they have. They're works of art people don't usually see. They're going to be moving the ones in the basement and priceless works of art down there, as well as across the river at the former train station, which was converted into a museum, and there as well, they're worried about the things stored in the basement. And the museum has been closed and the staff working today to bring things to upper floors -- Natalie?

ALLEN: That's got to be quite an undertaking, especially under these conditions as well. Also as far as the city as a whole, Jim, we've been seeing photographs and social media of the Seine River waters extreme high. How high are they, and what kind of threat does the river pose?

BITTERMANN: Well, in fact, it's pretty much of a threat right now. A lot of people who live along the seine in the House boats are really concerned, especially about the debris in the river. There's a lot of floating trees and debris from houses and things like that. We saw refrigerators there yesterday and all kinds of things floating down the river. So they're worried about that. They're worried about finding perhaps as the environmental minister said here just a few minutes ago, they're worried about finding perhaps some people who did not get out in time, who as the flood waters recede here, already it's known that two people have died because of the flood, including a horseman yesterday, a 74-year-old rider, whose horse was swept away. The horse managed to survive, but he did not.

And there's a great deal of concern about the damage this is all causing. The pedestrian areas along the seine, which are on both banks, in fact, this is the time of year when they would be normally filling up the restaurants and cafes along the river, and in fact, they've been pretty much wiped out by this. A lot of the kitchen equipment has been damaged to the extent it will have to be replaced. So there's going to be a good deal of damage right here in Paris.

I should just say this morning, one of the things that's happened, they've shut down one of the main commuter train lines, the RERC, which carries about a half million people per day in and out of Paris. It's been shut down because the waters have flooded the rail tracks in the Paris area.

So it's a complicated picture this morning, and also a lot of traffic on the roads because the people can't use the trains and some of the metro stations have been closed down. They've been taking cars and that caused gigantic traffic jams as we've seen this morning -- Natalie?

[02:40:15] ALLEN: Enduring quite a lot. And it's not just Paris we know, but surrounding regions as well.

We thank you. Jim Bittermann, with the latest on the flooding in Paris. Thanks, Jim.

Prince, killed by an accidental overdose of a powerful painkiller. Next here, details on his toxicology report and why the drug can be so deadly.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

ALLEN: Welcome back. Exactly six weeks after Prince died at his home, the medical examiner has finally revealed how the music legend died. But this case is far from over.

Here's Sara Sidner.

SARA SIDNER, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): What killed Prince is no longer a mystery. It is spelled out in black and white from the Midwest medical examiner's report. It gives us both the cause and manner of death, which is what the law requires, nothing more than that.

The manner of death was an accident. They said that Prince self- administered Fentanyl and that he died from Fentanyl toxicity. Fentanyl is the strongest opioid painkiller on the market, 50 to 100 times stronger than morphine and 25 to 50 times stronger than heroin, so we're talking about a real potent painkiller.

What we don't yet know is how Prince got it. Was he prescribed Fentanyl by a doctor, or did he get it some other way? And that is what law enforcement will be still looking into, because there's still an investigation going on into why Prince died and how he was able to get a hold of some of these medications.

[02:45:13] If they turn out not to be legal, then this will change into a criminal investigation. We know that the law enforcement officials and law enforcement have been talking to the people around Prince. They've also been talking to the doctors. And we know that he saw a doctor the day before he died and a couple weeks prior to that.

So there are still a lot of unanswered questions, but we do finally know the answer to one of the big, burning questions, why Prince died and what killed him. And it's very clear in the report that it was Fentanyl toxicity that took the megastar's life.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

ALLEN: Sara Sidner reporting.

The medical examiner does not have any plans to release Prince's full autopsy and toxicology report.

The gunman in a murder-suicide on the UCLA campus may have led police to another victim. Authorities say they found what's been described as a kill list in Mainak Sarkar's Minnesota home. And a woman whose name appeared on that list was found shot dead. She's believed to be the gunman's wife.

We get more now from CNN's Kyung Lah.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

KYUNG LAH, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): The murder-suicide, the chaos on the UCLA campus, appears now, say, police, to have been a planned hit. Gunman Mainak Sarkar, writing a kill list, then carrying it out.

CHARLIE BECK, CHIEF, LOS ANGELES POLICE DEPARTMENT: He went there to kill two faculty from UCLA. He was only able to locate one.

LAH: Police say Mainak Sarkar, a 2013 mechanical engineering PhD graduate, recently drove 2,000 miles from St. Paul, Minnesota, to Los Angeles. Sarkar found one person on his list, 39-year-old William Klug, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering. But a second UCLA professor on the kill list happened to be off campus yesterday. Sarkar went to Klug's fourth floor office, murdering his former professor, and then turning the gun on himself.

BECK: Sarkar was heavily armed with two semi-automatic pistols, multiple magazines of ammunition and multiple loose rounds of ammunition. He was certain prepared to gauge multiple victims.

LAH: When police moved into Professor Klug's office, they also found a cryptic note in Sarkar's backpack, asking someone to check on his cat. Inside his home in Minnesota, police found more ammunition and his kill list, naming the two UCLA professors and a third name, a woman living in nearby Brooklyn Park, Minnesota.

BECK: They did locate an adult female who was found deceased from apparent gunshot wound. We believe, at this point, that she was deceased prior to the UCLA shooting.

LAH: CNN affiliate, WCCO, says the woman killed was Ashley Hasti (ph). County records show she married Sarkar in 2011. On Hasti's (ph) Facebook page, she posted two photos of Sarkar. And under an album called "Last Days in L.A.", photos posted of UCLA's Engineering IV, the building where Sarkar murdered Professor Klug, a husband and further of two young children.

UNIDENTIFIED FRIEND OF WILLIAM KLUG: It's hard to even fathom it, to have your son grow up without a dad. It's rough.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

ALLEN: Kyung Lah reporting for us.

That last speaker was a friend of William Klug, the professor murdered at UCLA.

His widow has also released a statement through the university, thanking people for all of their support. She added she will miss her husband every day for the rest of her life.

[02:52:40] ALLEN: We are less than three weeks away from Britain's critical decision on whether to remain in the E.U. The agriculture industry could have a lot to lose if U.K. voters choose to leave. The farmers in the south of England are still tempted by the idea of independence.

As Nina dos Santos found out.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE) NINA DOS SANTOS, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): At this agricultural market, barbs about Brussels are traded almost as often as the live stock.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The farmers I've spoken to have said to me they don't like Brussels. It's like being back at school with the headmaster telling you, you cannot do this, and you cannot do that. Why not have it much simpler and just let farmers run the farms?

DOS SANTOS: Despite providing farmers with vital funds to rear animals like these, many feel penned in to the E.U. and are being flocking to the leave camp even if it will cost them dear.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The Brexit topic comes up regularly. I think farmers are fed up with being told by Europe what they have to do.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I've been thinking long and hard about Brexit. At the moment, I'm swaying towards the exit vote.

DOS SANTOS: Farmers have had a love-hate relationship with the E.U. for more than half a century since it introduced a system of subsidies which has been blamed for distorting the market, creating food gluts and swallowing up 39 percent of the budget for a sector that makes up less than 2 percent of its GDP.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Make sure there's food on the plate and make sure nobody went hung rye. We are now in 2016 and farmers think that the agricultural policy, the reform itself, has outrun itself.

DOS SANTOS: But turning its back on Brussels could ring in some rough times for Britain.

AUCTIONEER: (SPEAKING RAPIDLY)

DOS SANTOS: On the line, more than $3 billion its farmers get from the E.U. each year and free access to a market that took in over $13 billion worth of British produce in 2015.

(on camera): Here in the U.K., agriculture is steeped in tradition. Many of the people behind me are third or fourth generation farmers. And whilst they come here today to buy or sell cattle, pretty soon, they'll be taking a much bigger decision, whether to take a financial leap into the unknown.

(voice-over): In or out, whichever way the vote goes, debating its future in such a public arena could leave Britain branded the black sheep of Europe, and for most of these farmers, they're just fine with that.

[02:55:15] ALLEN: Nina dos Santos reporting for us there.

Well, a love letter written by John F. Kennedy to his mistress is on the auction block. The note, written by the former U.S. President, back in 1963, never made it to the intended recipient, who is believed to be Mary Meyer, the wife of a CIA agent, and died a year after the letter was written. The value of it, estimated at $30,000.

ALLEN: Not afraid of the "Terminator." The action movie star was on safari in South Africa when the elephant wandered up and eventually charged. After the very close encounter, Schwarzenegger said he's absolutely in awe of these beautiful, strong animals, even though some of us had to change our pants after this, he said.

SCHWARZENEGGER: Oh, he's going to charge us.

ALLEN: That's it for this hour. I'll be right back with more news. Stay with us.
