11:00 pm
hello, everyone. welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm amara walker in los angeles where it is 11:00 in the evening. >> i'm max foster outside the british parliament in london, where it's 7:00 on tuesday morning. and after a clam us to first few days, the markets have slowed. hopes of a recovery were quickly dashed as u.s. and european
11:01 pm
markets fell even further on monday. the pound really being hit hard, hitting its lowest level against the dollar in more than 30 years. here in london, labor party mps are set to hold a no-confidence vote over jeremy corbyn. a majority of his shadow cabinet has resigned, questioning his leadership. and david cameron is traveling to brussels for what's likely to be his last european council summit as prime minister. summit as prime minister. he says it won't be him but his r replacement who starts the formal brexit process. cameron spoke about the vote that led to his resignation. >> the british people have voted to leave the european union. it was not the result i wanted, nor the outcome that i believe is best for the country i love, but there can be no doubt about the result. of course i don't take back what i said about the richbss. it is going to be difficult. we've already seen that there are going to be adjustments
11:02 pm
within our economy, complex, constitutional issues and challenging new negotiations to undertake with europe. >> cnn's nic robertson joins us now for the latest. and i'm imagining this horribly awkward moment when david cameron goes into the room with other leaders who are pretty fed up with the uk. >> reporter: he's going to have a lot of explaining to do. and that's his intention, to explain over dinner this evening why he thinks the british people voted the way that they did, what it means for britain, what he thinks it means for other european leaders. you know, he'll talk about the issues that brought british people to this leave vote. immigration being one of them. these are things that david ck m cameron will say, will resonate with some european leaders, but
11:03 pm
what doesn't resonate with any of the european leaders is any kind of intrans-jens on britain's part to trigger article 50 and begin this negotiation to leave the european union. and what we heard yesterday from the french president, francois hollande, whatever it has to do, choose a new prime minister, get that prime minister to get support of his party, all the people, and figure out which way think want to go and what type of relationship they want to have with the european union in the future, the concern is that any prevarication, any delays brings instability. this is what francois hollande said. >> translator: because nothing is more uncertain than insert tooud. it generates financial behavior
11:04 pm
which can also be irrational, if the uk who has already had this experience, and it is painful, both on the political and financial side. >> reporter: and of course on political fronts, he has elections next year. france also has a euro skeptic tendency, a national right and left wing as well that raises questions regularly about the european union and france's involvement in it. so there are political prices for other leaders, potentially, if britain doesn't move along. so that's the imperative, that's what it's going to face, embarrassing maybe, but it's all real politic here, max. >> yeah. in terms of, obviously, you're talking about intrans-jens that the europeans don't want, but david cameron, he's a lame duck, effectively. he can't speak to who's going to come after him, but he also knows boris johnson, who's a
11:05 pm
front runner, doesn't want to invoke that article 50 anytime soon. there's no indication from never the leaders that they want to invoke it. so inevitably, you have the europeans who won't talk about pre-negotiations with a british prime minister probably, who isn't going to invoke the article. >> reporter: yeah, david cameron is not going to be able to come in here and have conversation on the sides of meetings, i would like to have this sort of trade relationship with germany, with another country, i'd like to see immigration change this way. this sort of cherry picking, this sort of trying to do side deals and bits and pieces, absolutely not going to fly at all. this leaves this prevarication. the real concern is look, amongst european leaders, there's a concern that britain, there's never really been a fully-paid-up member, stayed
11:06 pm
outside the schengen passport zone, kept the pound sterling. britain is somehow not going to follow through on the democratic will of its people that have been expressed in this referendum, that britain is somehow going to prevaricate and even just let slide treatise, the sort of action that, letting treatise slide, that would be a cause for going to war. so there are serious concerns here. that's not on the table here of course. that's not what we're talking about. but the notion of not following through and doing what the electorate have said and doing what you said you're going to do, that's a concern. and that's something the european leaders here want to see confirmed is not an option for the british. >> nic, thank you. you've heard us talking about it. britain's exit from the european union hinges on one piece of the
11:07 pm
legislation, that's article 50 of the lisbon treaty. david cameron says he won't invoke it and any new legislation needs to happen under the new prime minister. >> reporter: nothing will change until it invokes article 50. and only the uk can press that trigger. once pressed, a two-year count down actually begins. the european council will appoint the negotiators, and then negotiations begin. the workout of the uk's exit and future relationships during that negotiation. and then the final deal is put to the parliament, and it goes back to the council for an agreement. the uk's excluded, of course, when the council is considering that particular deal. all in all, one of the biggest, single most important aspects,
11:08 pm
the negotiation of access to the single market. the freedom of movement question. the aviation market. and the eu presidency. when you look at it all and you put it together in this two-year time frame, approving the deal shows there's plenty of room for scatter in the works. the deal must pass the european parliament. it must get an ec double majority with qualified majority voting in the council of ministers. 72% of the remaining countries, that's 20 in total, representing 65% of the population. the uk parliament may also need to approve it, as indeed, and think about the clock ticking, as indeed, may 27 states have to approve treaty changes or various policy differences.
11:09 pm
so what happens if, as the time moves on, there's no agreement within two years? well, then the treaties simply no longer apply to the united kingdom, that is unless there's unanimous agreement for an extension. >> richard quest there with the analysis of article 50, which very few of us knew about before all of this began. now we all seem to be talking about it a lot of the time, including traders. let's see what the markets are doing, because the asian markets are ep open. andrew stevens joins us from hong kong with more on the current numbers. >> reporter: thanks, max. it's yeah, it's been a pretty quiet day, as was yesterday. there is a drift lower for most of the markets at the poemt moment, the exception being japan. the nikkei is up just a
11:10 pm
fraction, the yen has been seen as a safe haven and strengthening, has topped out. so that's helping the nikkei somewhat. but not much at you see there, otherwise, hong kong is leading. only down about .3. so it's indirectly involved in this, in this massive global selloff that we've seen, $3 trillion of value wiped off stocks globally up until the start of today's voting since that brexit vote was established. but all that, 3.7 trillion of the losses have come from the developed economies, from wall straight, fr street, from the european markets, less than $180 million, it's a substantial amount. they are following the general trend, they're not having nearly the same impact as they are closer to the actual, to the epicenter, if you like it, of the brexit vote.
11:11 pm
>> andrew, i have to say a lot of people here discussing what long-term impact this will have. we will talk to but that later on, because people are talking about ending future investments in the uk, until some sort of clarity's brought to this situation. but i want to cross now to ingeborg, a german member of the german parliament and will be involved with the divorce negotiations when they happen. how does britain extricate itself from the european union. if i can just ask you, do you think there should be any talks before the formal process begins? so that british politicians have a sense of where those negotiations might go once the clock starts ticking as richard puts it? >> i don't think so. that would be any talks before. for the moment we only know from the press what happened in the uk. we are awaiting that great
11:12 pm
britain triggers article 50 of the european union treaty, and it's amazing to see that they delay that. it is ununderstandable for me that there were no post brexit plans. it is amazing that all those people who fought for brexit are now refusing to even take responsibility for the causes and consequences. they leave the people alone, and they leave all those people alone. they lied to during the whole campaign. it is very sad for us to see how responsibility, how they deal with the high responsibility they have for this result. >> british politicians who were on the leave side of things say that they are trying to get the best deal for the uk, and they are only going to invoke that article 50 once that they know that the negotiations are on a good track already. so they want those informal negotiations. but do you think the european leaders will consider any sort of informal negotiations before
11:13 pm
article 50 is invoked? >> i don't think so. ta there will be no informal negotiations, because these informal negotiations, what would they mean? now out is out, and that means britain has to tell us how they conceive future relationship to the european union, even if they join norway and switzerland, the free trade arrangements around the european union, even then there are a lot of european rules they have to follow. it is not a cherry picking issue. they cannot choose whatever they would like to give their rules for every model. they would choose, but it's up to them to choose now. that's why it's not so -- [ talking simultaneously ] this is amazing point for us. >> you're talking about deadlock. >> no, there's, no.
11:14 pm
the referendum was on a reform package, mr. cameron negotiated in february. this reform package is now void. it's over. it is not, it is not now the moment for trying to renegotiate this reform package. it's obvious that the referendum was done on the basis of article 50 of the european union. you can leave the union only since 2009, since the last treaty changes. and now telling us that they want to have another model, which is not inside the treaty, this is not legal, and this will not be possible for the other european union countries. we cannot, we can now at this stage can do nothing for great britain, apart from choosing article 50 and starting negotiations to go out. if they want to remain in, i think it's up to them. but if they want to go out, then they need to trigger article 50. there's no other procedure. all other steps would be
11:15 pm
illegal, that's why in my view, the european council is not free to change or even to renegotiate whatsoever. and i would like to remind that european union parliament needs to agree on everything what is, what is done there and european parliament would never agree on other negotiations not forcing the treaty. >> ingeborg grassle, thank you very much indeed. it's very difficult to see where we're going to move from here. >> we're going to take a short break. when we come back, hillary clinton hitting the campaign trail with a potential running mate, and the democratic duo not holding back on their attacks on donald trump. also iceland is celebrating historic victory for their football team. we'll break down a sport upset that no one saw coming. that's ahead. ♪

11:20 pm
upsets in euro 2016 history. a result so shocking that it prompted england's manager to resign. that's overshadowed by the sheer disbelief from icelandic fans. >> it's unreal. >> you know, the vikings are back. it's the age of the vikings. >> small nations men at that time is the best mentality of the world. >> cnn's "world sport's" christina mcfarland joins us. it's an incredible story. a tiny country, 330,000 people. the coach is a part-time dentist, is that right? dentist? and england's one of the best teams in the world. just explain this one to us, christina. >> i now, max, at any time is disappointing and devastating. a shambollic performance,2-1 loss to iceland last night will
11:21 pm
go down as the worse moment in england's football history, and not just because iceland are minut minnows. they were ruthless, organized, they were everything, but england was not that last night. you mentioned the population of just 330,000, max, iceland have more volcanos than they do professional footballers. that is the situation enland finds themselves in. and roy hodgson was on a salary of $4.6 million a year. when you compare that to the ice land manager who as you say is a part-time dentist, that shows the disparity of these two teams. the farthest they had ever gotten previous to last night in an international competition was the quarter finals of the handball competition at the london 2012 games. now they're up against france in
11:22 pm
the quarter finals. >> more volcanos than professional footballer the. we'll turn to u.s. politics now. and donald trump is backtracking on his most controversial proposal. the proposed gop nominee is altering his proposed ban on muslims, he will now apply to a ban to countries with known terrorism links and not specifically to muslims. trump is scheduled to give a major speech on the economy tuesday. one of donald trump's loudest critics is now on the campaign australia with trump's rival, hillary clinton. elizabeth warren is making a strong case as a possible vp pick for clinton, and she unleashed a blistering attack against trump on monday. ♪ this is my fight song
11:23 pm
>> reporter: hillary clinton and elizabeth warren on the same stage on the same side. warren withheld her endorsement for more than a year. so they lingered today for nearly two minutes. >> whoa! >> reporter: soaking up the adoration from democrats in cincinnati. >> thank you! i'm here today because i'm with her. yes, her! [cheers and applause] >> reporter: and then she got down to business. >> she knows what it takes to beat a thin-skinned bully, who is driven by greed and hate. >> reporter: for weeks, warren has been needling trump, which clinton has enjoyed from afar. she beamed today at close range. >> i must say i do just love to see how she gets under donald trump's thin skin. >> reporter: and trump just may have been watching, sending this tweet just before they took stage, crooked hillary is wheeling out one of the least
11:24 pm
productive senators in the u.s. senate, goofy elizabeth warren. >> donald trump says he'll make america great again. it's right there, no. it's stamped on the front of his goofy hat. you want to see goofy? look at him in that hat. >> reporter: the warren/clinton show, part pep rally, part audition made clear the hatchet is buried between the two democrats, at least publicly. >> you just saw why she is considered so terrific, so formidable, because she tells it like it is. >> reporter: on stage today, warren said clinton won't back down. >> she gets up and keeps right on fighting for the people who need her most. >> reporter: but she suggested in interviews and her 2004 book that clinton caved on a bankruptcy bill in the senate, writing, it seems that hillary clinton could not afford such a principled position. >> she has taken money from the
11:25 pm
groups, and more to the point, she worries about them as a constituency. >> reporter: those concerns went unspoken today, with one hug after another. but if clinton would tap warren as her running mate, they would surely return. for now, they share a common objective, stopping trump. >> donald trump proves every day, he's not in it for the american people. he's in it only for himself. and elizabeth reminds us of that every chance she gets. >> hello. >> reporter: and clinton even struck a populace tone, sounding familiar strains to bernie sanders and warren. >> i got into in race because i wanted to even the odds for people who have the odds stacked against them, and this is not a time for half measures. we've got to go big, and we've got to go bold. >> reporter: the scorn for donald trump was sharp and stanned. it's one thing that joins hillary clinton and elizabeth warren, but it's important to know that she's not the only

democrat being considered. tim kaine also being considered as are other democrats. but we're about one month away before hillary clinton decides who her running mate will be. jeff zeleny, cnn, cincinnati. all right, when we come back, the uk may have voted to leave the european union, but it's not a done deal until the british government pulls the trigger. we'll have the details, next. calling all go-getters. all providers. all self-motivated self-starters. drive with uber and put a dollar sign in front of your odometer. like this guy. technically i'm a cook. sign up here. drive a few hours a day. make $300 a week. actually it's a little bit more than that. that's extra buy-you-stuff money. or buy-them-stuff money. calling all early risers, nine-to-fivers and night owls. with uber-a little drive goes a long way. start earning this week. go to uber.com/drivenow

merkle, francois hollande and other leaders. the uncertainty surrounding britain's anticipated exit from the eu is still rattling investors worldwide. in asia, it's not nearly as bad as the last couple of days. and the british pound has been hammered. falling to a 31-year low. and standard & poors has downgraded the uk's aaa credit rating, even though osborne insists they are strong. >> you've got one party trying to find new leader and one major party trying to get rid of their leader. the conservative party have got to find a successor to david cameron as party leader who will automatically become prime minister. interesting poll today which says that theresa may, the home secretary, trusted pair of hands, who's been pretty low-key
11:31 pm
through the referendum campaign is now the favorite, according to one opinion poll, of course, opinion polls got the referendum wrong. but interesting turn around, really. back in april, boris johnson, in many ways the party favorite, led theresa may 36-14. now she leads him 34-21. >> how does a remainor possibly replace david cameron in the place of boris johnson? >> i think because theresa may was always a bit of a leaver by instinct, but was playing loyal with her government colleagues, and, you know, has always played it on a practical basis. she didn't, she didn't really show her face much in the campaign, so she's not identified with the remain campaign in the way some others are. >> hard-line on immigration as well, she's talking about border controls. >> she always has been. and i think the key question is,
11:32 pm
okay, boris johnson wins the crowds. he's a good performer. he's got a sense of humor, but people may say hang on a minute. he switched sides on this issue, and maybe the country is in such a state we don't want a joker. however good he might be at charming the voters, maybe we want a safe pair of hands, maybe theresa may could become our angela merkle. >> jeremy hunt, cabinet minister as well, he's very close to announcing himself. he's got all that language, where he's saying, yeah, ail consider it. also saying he would consider a second referendum. so that's going to be his ti ticket. but it could come in the form of an election. ? we've nav >> we've not had a referendum on the terms of out. he's saying whatever deal ought to be done should be put to the
11:33 pm
people or in a party manifesto in a party whose leader would have negotiated it. >> talking about the current prime minister, he's in the eu with a meeting with his counterparts. could blame him for this, because he started off the whole referendum process. people saying he shouldn't have done that at all. but he's got to be constructive in some way. >> he's got to try and prepare the way for his successor. but if i can persuade the other european union leaders to have a little bit of an informal discussion about the kind of shape a deal might take, that is going to help his successor in terms of the brexit team who are going to put together britain's negotiating bid. >> it's illegal to have these pre-negotiations or informal negotiations or whatever. they're going to fight it tooth and nail, aren't they? >> talk over the dinner table has always gone on in politics
11:34 pm
and always will. however legal or illegal it might be, max. >> it's interesting, isn't it? they do have conversations anyway, so these things are going to come up. but we come back to this article 50, don't we, and whether or not it will be invoked. and so many people, you know, for the further right of the spectrum suggesting yesterday that the article is irrelevant now. but europeans, the way they look at it, germany and france, you know, they have rules, you have to stick by them. and this is the only path exiting the european union. >> article 50 is what you have to trigger in order to begin the negotiation process. but the difficulty is, the moment you trigger it, you're on a two-year time limit. and you could reach the end of the two years, no deal reached and just be thrown out anyway. >> okay. that's the story from the conservative side. we've also got the defiant leader of the labor party saying he'll fight on in his job. and if there is a longer
11:35 pm
election, he's going to stand in it. coming up, the political upheaval after the brexit vote. that's why at cancer treatment centers of america every patient gets their own care manager to coordinate every aspect of their care. the care manager is making sure everything is flowing well so the patient can continue to get their treatment. we are the link between the patient and the doctor. the care manager coordinates all of the patient's appointments, scans, chemotherapy... we can do paperwork or contact their employers or set them up with home health. that's what brings most people into nursing; you get to connect with people. that's what i love about being a care manager. meet the care managers at ctca. my name is collette... lindsey jodi stacy our nurse care managers are with you every step of the way so you can focus on your fight. cancer is a long journey and i want to do everything in my power to take the stress off of your shoulders so you can enjoy your life at home.

11:39 pm
lukewarm campaign in favor of staying in the uk and should suffer the consequences. he's vowing to light tfight the leadership challenge, and he has some support. >> let me make it clear, if there is another leadership election, jeremy corps bip will be standing again. >> he was elected last year backed by the unions. for more on the vacuum, i'm joined by my guest from kings college, london. the mirror, a huge supporter of labor and of corbyn. >> the yes question is, is he g to start losing the grass rooting. the parliamentary party never
11:40 pm
wanted him. he had massive support -- >> what you're saying is the grassroots had more power in voting and he opened up the %-p from members in the labor campaign. and the polling to date has shown that he's continued to sustain that support even though he hasn't necessarily performed in the country at large. >> a lot of the supporters are young, pro european and pretty fed up with him for not championing their message. >> that may be the case. there may be some disillusionment. there may be some evidence at branch membership level whether some people are questioning whether he's the right person, but as yet, we haven't tested whether he's losing the membership at harm. >> is he doing the best for the labor party? in principle, he's saying the labor party is much bigger than the parliament tear yans here.
11:41 pm
>> he's going to go to the polls. even if he wins again, he's going to be leaving a parliamentary party that doesn't support him at all. they're the most powerful members of the labor party. >> in is the problem for labor. it has three different -- >> they're right behind him. >> the trade and the parliame parliamentary party. if you can't get them around a single leader, you've got a problem, and that's why the party has such a big problem, because the divergence between the mps of the parliament and the others. >> how quickly can this be cleaned up? >> from the view of the parliamentary party, the outcome would be that jeremy corbyn would resign. >> which he's probably not going to do. so you could get a very messy contest. >> a vote of no confidence snonts. >> yes, a vote of no confidence.
11:42 pm
he says he would run if there's a leadership challenge. he's not just going to go away. from there you could get a very messy leadership contest, but you could end up with corbyn winning again. >> and that's why it has to be a very brave person going up against jeremy corbyn. >> yes, did has to be a very brave person. and if they don't win, if the parm lamentry party is still stuck with a leader they're not happy with, it's not clear then. >> it's not, this is a political crisis, facing the country, and we're about to go into an economic crisis, if you believe most of the economists, actually. it's not a good time to have a weak opposition. >> normally, right now, given the position government's in, you'd expect an opposition to be in a very strong position and for them to be welcoming the idea of an early general election. in fact, it seems it's the government that's going to want an early election, once they
11:43 pm
install a new prime minister and the opposition won't want it, so it's an unusual situation to be in. >> talk about his deputy as well. he was someone voted in. he has that support. he could step in. where's his standing? >> what's interesting is, like the leader, tom watson, he's got his own mandate, perhaps the most powerful a mandate as jeremy corbyn. and he repeatedly refers to this mandate. but watson's also got a mandate, and he may at some point be able to deploy that mandate in some kind of way, and perhaps step in as an interim leader, whether the party will want him either is another question. >> had some funny comments, i say funny, because they won't happen, but talk of nicolas sturgeon coming in and being prime minister of edge langland scotland. >> the mp, the only people who
11:44 pm
have a plan to respond to this referendum. unfortunately, her plan involves leaving the country. >> thank you very much indeed for that. it's horribly complicated. scotland is trying to figure out a way to stay in the european union. they're set to make some kind of announcement in the coming hours. david mckinzie joins us now from scotland. going back to that question of independence. >> reporter: that's right, and i think that before that question is even answered, the first thing that you'll probably see from nicola sturgeon is trying to reach across the aisle and convince the conservatives in the parliament to try and back her on all aspects of trying to stay in the european union. that's probably an easier prospect, because of the mandate they've been given by the scottish people more than 60% of them voting to stay in the eu. that will be her primary goal,
11:45 pm
to try and get that cross parliament backing to push by any means necessary to stay in the eu. then the question is, can she get backing, potentially, for an independent vote that might be slightly harder prospect for conservatives, but that's kind of the option they may be going for. but in the last few days, you've heard less noises about a timeline on that vote and more trying to stay in the eu, max?f >> what are scots saying about this? has there been any commentary in the papers that scots are behind her? or is this just the scottish national party trying to build on the momentum that they've got here? >> reporter: well, there's politics at play, of course, like all of this, politics is always a local issue. but here in scotland, talking to the people on the street and in
11:46 pm
unscientific online polls, there does seem to be a great deal of admiration of support for nicola sturgeon trying to stay in the eu, and that's backed up by the referendum results here, but there's also a sense that she had a plan, like your previous gist sai guest said, there is a sense that the scottish national party or maybe scotland parliament in general was prepared for this eventuality. and they're trying to unify, compared to the chaos that you see in westminster, to put a united front to europe, directly, looking east ward, not southward, to try to stay in the union, it's a long, legal, and diplomatic process to do that with no clear answers, but they certainly, in parliament today, are going to try to show some unity, i think, to stay in the union. >> okay, david mckinzie, in edinborough, a glorious castle

the hospital for or in a clinic for. you should have the ultimate safety standards. we're not a third-world country. but the supreme court leftists apparently don't understand that. >> reporter: the law's opponent would have closed all but a handful of clinics in text ex-. in the majority opinion justice stephen breyer wrote "the justice law provides few if any health benefits for women, poses a substantial obstacle to women seeking abortions and constitutes an undue burden on their constitutional right to do so." >> women across america have had their constitutional rights v d vindicated. >> reporter: in a bitter dissenting opinion justice clarence thomas wrote "the court has simultaneously frafrmd judicially created rights like the right to abortion into preferred constitutional rights while disfavoring many of the rights actually enumerated in the constitution." >> we were really disappointed. the five justices did let down's. but property life generation is coming back stronger than ever. >> reporter: i'm mary maloney
11:53 pm
reporting. >> the supreme court also threw out the conviction of former virginia governor bob mcdonnell. he was found guilty of corruption in 2014 for taking gifts, money and loans in exchange for official acts. the court said while mcdonnell's actions were distasteful they did not amount to official acts. the unanimous decision leaves open the possibility for a retrial. there's progress in the egyptair crash investigation. egypt says french investigators have fixed the damaged electronic board on the plane's flight data recorder. repairs on the cockpit voice recorder could be wrapped up within hours as well. it's hoped the black boxes will help answer what caused flight 804 to crash into the mediterranean sea last month, killing all 66 people on board. a new set of explosions hit a mainly christian area of northern lebanon late monday near the country's border with syria. lebanon's national news agency says at least 13 people were wounded. it happened just hours after a series of suicide attacks struck the same area monday morning

killing six people and wounding 19. officials urged residents to avoid any gatherings in the area. sources say volkswagen is set to announce a record $15 billion settlement in its emissions scandal. the german altomaker admitted to selling about 11 million cars with software designed to cheat emissions tests. the settlement would cover consumer claims and fines. a federal court still has to approve the deal. the company faces additional civil and criminal investigations. the governor of rio de janeiro warns the upcoming olympics games could be a big failure. he's telling o globo daily newspaper the state is still waiting for an $850 million bailout from the federal government. he says without the money police patrols are likely to stop. he also says the subway line connecting rio with venues outside the city is still weeks away from completion. and police in brazil

hello and welcome to our viewers who are in the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church at cnn world headquarters in atlanta, where it is 3:00 in the morning. >> i'm factimax foster outside british parliament in london, where it's 8:00 in the morning. now, the british prime minister david cameron is heading to brussels to meet with eu leaders for the first time since the brexit vote. he says he won't be handing -- or handling the actual process of leaving. that task will go to his successor who's now expected to be in place by september. back in london the opposition labour party continues town ralph under the leader jeremy
12:01 am
corbyn. resignations from corbin's shadow cabinet are up to 19 now. the markets haven't rebounded as hoped either. ratings agency standard & poor's downgraded the uk's credit rating two notches on monday. the market volatility as well, most of the asian markets are closed and they spent much of the trading day down following the declines in europe and in the u.s. on wall street the dow slumped 261 points to its lowest level in more than three months. the dow has plunged nearly 900 points in just two days. the european markets opened just a few moments ago. we're going to bring you those numbers as they settle down. they come in to us. we're obviously watching that very closely indeed. let's just confirm those dmubz before we bring them to you because i think literally we're one minute in. more figures from yesterday. but we'll confirm that. nina, what are you hearing there in terms of those opening numbers? >> yeah. thanks so much, max.
12:02 am
with the, what we're seeing is the european markets opening up to the tune of about 1 1/2% to 1%. especially for the ftse 100 which has so much to go to recover the losses we saw over the last few days. remember that $3 trillion has now been wiped off the value of global markets. in just two sessions friday after that shock decision from the uk to vote in favor of a brexit, monday wasn't much better because even though the markets looked as though they were swayed slightly by the chancellor george osborne's assurance that the european economy is strong, they still sank like a stone. some of the heaviest losses written curd not so much on the ftse 100, max, but on what's called the ftse 250. this is the index listed here in london of shares in small to medium size companies. and the real fear here is that they're not diversified enough in terms of where they get their sales from outside of the uk to try and buffer a potential recession that's taking place
12:03 am
according to the economists here by the end of this year. now, there is a bit of a bright note here. the pound falling by about 11% over the last two sessions. it has managed to recover. and i should also point out that the noted economist rabbini famous for making a number of predictions about recessions, one of them transpired to be true famously in 2008 when we saw the credit crunch. he said don't worry, the world is not going to face a recession because of this. maybe the uk will, but it may be mitigated in terms of other economies and the fallout they'll see. should point out this is a sign of how turbulent it is. both the federal reserve chair janet yellen and also the bank of england governor mark colony have decided to cancel a planned speech that was set to take place at the ecb's big getaway. normally has an off site at port gal this time of year but they both decided to cancel because the markets are listening on tenterhooks to everything that they say these days.
12:04 am
>> john defterios is listening to global reaction. we're really getting a sense for how this is affecting the rest of the world and how britaining being affected by the rest of the world because it seems as though what we heard from china earlier saying they're not going to consider more investments in the uk until they know what's going on, i'm sure it's the same in relation to your region as well. >> it is, max. in fact, the markets have stabilized because of the stimulus messages coming from south korea, some of the words we're hearing from japan and china. we saw over the weekend the saudi arabian central bank saying it was diversifying out of both pound and euro assets going forward to balance its portfolio. i think the story can be told of uncertainty through two figures alone, and that is the fall of the british pound, which has stabilized in early trading but we have the same situation yesterday. and the price of gold which has surged over the last six months.
12:05 am
but really a wake-up call for emerging market investors today as you look at the downgrade from aaa to aa by s&p knowing the uncertainty lies particularly with the government right now. let's be clear. there is no prime minister in place, and the opposition party is imploding. to put this into perspective, the uk has always been a rock for emerging market investors. no less the middle east investors because of transparency, because of reliability. as a property investment, investment into bonds as well. that has shaken badly, really badly, max, over the last three or four days of trading now and having the weekend to think about it. so let's take a look at the price of gold. again, it has stabilized around $1,330 an ounce. it's come off its recent highs but if you look back over the last six months it has surged 25% or 3we9er than $300 an ounce. it's down half a percent now at $1,316 an ounce.
12:06 am
that's because of the stimulus measure that's we talked about. now, people have been looking for safe havens. there's been one if you look at the mining stocks, newmont mining has surged 100% in the last six months of trading because of that. but on the opposite end of the spectrum we had eight stocks suspended in uk trading. four of those were property stocks because of what i've been talking about. will foreign investors still want to come to the uk going forward? there's been 50 new developments in central london alone. about 10% of those are owned by middle east investors by themselves. another huge question mark going forward. we've seen the rising tide of nationalism in the country. will middle east investors be welcome going forward in the future? huge question mark. in 2015, 20%, get this, 20% of the buy to let properties in central london were purchased by middle east investors alone. and a final point here. i know there's a big eu summit that nina was talking about. let's go back to the troika
12:07 am
meeting with merkel, hollande and murphy that was taking place yesterday. we saw francois hollande say, quote unquote, europe is europe, europe is strong. if you looked at that picture, you could say, yes, germany is strong but france is not strong right now and italy is in a financial crisis and they're having to funnel money into the banking system. we have a bear market in spanish and italian stocks. 17% drops in the last month alone. so big question marks. how strong is the core of europe. and that's what investors are asking today as they go for that eu simm mitt, max. >> we're going to speak to nick in a moment. i just want to bring up those european numbers, john because they were settling as we were trying to come to them earlier and we want to get a sense of what they're looking at now. and actually, they looked -- just a quick word, john. this is pretty extraordinary. we're seven minutes into the open of trade and the european markets are flying. up more than 2% in london and near that in the rest of europe. can you just put that into
12:08 am
context for us? >> absolutely, max. we've had a complete washing out over the last three days and we had this spiral yesterday. we had asian markets were down, europe opened lower, the united states went even lower than that and there was a perpetual cycle. then we had the downgrade. but we've had a massive sell-off since friday and that vote taking place. the pound corrected 12%. it has stabilized as well. but i think the markets are rallying this morning because what i was talking about in the top of my comments there, we're hearing stimulus packages coming out of asia, one announced already from south korea, suggestions that the japanese budget will expand as well, and we could see interest rate action coming forward from the european central bank and more stimulus coming as well. another point to raise here, because of the crisis in the uk right now, max, we're forgoing any interest rate rises. at least that's the forecast from the federal reserve. we were look at higher interest rates of course but at this
12:09 am
stage because of what's happening in the uk and europe that will be held off for now. >> okay. fascinating. john, look at those figsz. 2% up today. who would have thought? nic robertson is in brussels. david cameron is going to turn up there trying to explain what happened in the uk to european leaders who basically want a swift decision on britain leaving the european union. and david cameron's not going to be able to give them that, is he? >> he isn't. we were talking earlier, max, about the difficulty of david cameron walking into the european union to face all those leaders after causing so much market upset, so much turmoil, so much political concern, all of that goes on. that's what francois hollande was talking about yesterday as well. as long as europe is dithering on deciding precisely when and how it's going to exit the european union, then the political -- that -- there is a
12:10 am
potential for political instability in europe to ensue from that financial instability. but perhaps one of the most interesting meetings for david cameron today will be when he goes in to meet with the president of the european -- with the european commission. jean-claude juncker. this is a man that only a year or so ago, david cameron quite vociferously opposing to take up that leadership position. that's a motorcycle convoy as police moat sooik sxlz their sirens -- of course we have all these 27 plus one, david cameron, european leaders arriving here today. i think we're going to hear a lot of police motorcycles whistling back and forwards outside the european parliament buildings. but the point being that david cameron's time here in brussels today is not going to be a particularly easy one. potentially embarrassing when he goes in to meet the european commission president jean-claude juncker, whose presidency he so
12:11 am
outspokenly didn't support a year ago. what we expect him to do is to explain to the european leaders why the vote in britain went the way it did and that will potentially lay some of the groundwork for the next prime minister to come along and shape what the new relationship with europe. but he will be pointing out some relationships that are pertinent to other european leaders and that will certainly resonate with some of them. issues they face with their electorate and their countries, max. >> okay, nic. with you throughout the day. it must be said between david cameron and the other european leaders. we're also getting reports from the uk suggesting that racial abuse has been on the rise since the votes to leave the eu last week. police are investigating several incidents including some in the polish community. our diana mag nay has more. >> reporter: to find the polish
12:12 am
community in london head down to the boroughs of hammersmith and eagle in the west. there's a long history of polish immigration here. the polish center the heart of a well integrated community. which is why an activity vandalism at the weekend has come as such a shock. you can see the trace of the yellow point in which this slogan was daubd across the front of the polish community center and they stretch all the way down across this facade right up to the polish eagle at the end. i'm not going to tell you what was said but you can glean it was "go home" but in slightly less savory language. the graffiti's gone now, the hate replaced with flowers and messages of support. for joanna who runs the center, she says this isn't a one-off. >> we have had reports, and we're seeing pictures of notes being pushed through people's doors describing them as vermin,
12:13 am
scum, and verbal abuse. >> reporter: we meet mariana coli, who moved here from finland when she was 18. on saturday she experience what'd she felt was the first racist incident of her 16 years in the uk. >> i was walking on high street. i was talking to a friend of mine, speaking in english. and a chap from just behind me a few feet away shouted "i like your accent" in a very loud voice. and i did feel it was a bit threatening. it wasn't a sort of -- it very clearly wasn't intended as a compliment. >> so it was almost sarcastic like i like your accent. >> that's what it sounded like to me, yes. he was saying i see you, i've noticed you are foreign and i would like to tell you you're foreign. >> reporter: london's metropoll-ton police say they've seen a 57% increase in reporting to their stop hate crime website. a facebook group says -- calling
12:14 am
itself worrying signs had logged 1,000 incidents since it was set up on saturday. go home with the response i am home one of the least offensive of the postings here. one polish girl we followed up with e-mailing to say she'd had full-on excrement through the letter box and was planning on leaving the uk if it didn't stop. britain's prime minister david cameron raised the issue in parliament. >> i spoke to the polish prime minister this afternoon to say how concerned i was about the terrible attacks that had taken place and to reassure we're doing everything we could to protect polish citizens in our country. >> reporter: but the prime minister's promises may ring hollow to european ears right now. more the messages of support at a grassroots level that will reassure britain's european communities they're still welcome in a country they call
12:15 am
home. diana magnay, cnn, london. >> cnn political contributor robin oakley joins me now here in london. this is one of the issues that the country's having to digest whilst there's this political vacuum. the problem is you haven't got leaders coming out and speaking to the nation because we haven't -- no one seems to have a mandate to be in charge right now. first of all, let's just talk about david cameron. he's there in europe but he's a lame duck prime minister, isn't he? he can't speak on behalf of the country. we're waiting to hear who's going to replace him. who are we looking at right now? >> the key figures in this are boris johnson, who was a key figure in the leave campaign, in the referendum, and teresa may, the home secretary. the interesting thing is we can't give too much credence to opinion polls but there's one in the "times" today which puts teresa may on 34 points ahead of boris johnson at 21 points among conservative supporters. that may be because whether the conservatives have enjoyed boris johnson as a character and feel he's a vote winner, he won the
12:16 am
london mayor's job and he's been a key figure in the referendum, he's a bit of a joker and some people feel they can't take him seriously. maybe the feeling is things are so bad now that they want a safer pair of hands. teresa may not deeply engaged in the campaign. a leaver by instinct but a remainer out of loyalty to the government could keep both sides of the conservative party happy. >> other possible contenders suggesting a second referendum is the solution as well. but on the labour side i know you've got a paper here which really tells the story of jeremy corbyn. >> absolutely. >> daily mirror, big supporter of labour. want him to go. >> one big supporter. 44 resignations from his shadow team of ministers to be. he's lost the confidence completely of the parliamentary party. but of course he's still got the support of we think most of the activists in the country. vote of no confidence in him today. we'll hear the result of that about 4:00.
12:17 am
it's not binding. then the question is does jeremy corbyn take that message and step down or does he say i fight on and rely on the support of people in the country, the activists in the labour party, if they return him? and of course it's difficult for the others in finding a unity candidate against him to run a leadership candidate against him. the labour party could be split for many years to come. >> thank you very much, robin. many young people here in britain say they're horrified by the vote to leave the european union. so why did so many of them not even show up at the polls? i'll talk with a counselor who was working with get young britons more involved politically. uh, ya. try credit karma. it's free. eyy. that's pretty different. totally. check out credit karma today. credit karma. give yourself some credit. parts a and b and want more coverage, guess what? you could apply for a medicare supplement insurance

12:21 am
in seconds. and because it's so delicious, you'll drink 43% more water every day. sodastream®. love your water. let's try to make sense of this for you. the european markets this hour as they open, 2% up. actually, you've got the paris cac up 2 1/4%. it's quite an extraordinary story. an absolute roller coaster for investors across europe this week. we saw the markets sinking severely on friday, sinking yesterday. but today they're up. we'll try to make sense of that for you throughout the day. it's really difficult for anyone to make sense of what's going on following the brexit vote. many young people are the ones who say they'll have to live with the consequences longs term. not the short-term figures. and they're not happy about it either. pollsters if you believe them say people under the age of 30
12:22 am
voted overwhelmingly to remain in the eu in thursday's referendum whilst those over the age of 65 voted to leave by a wide margin. that sparked anger on social media from some young people and older generations. one twitter user called the vote "a referendum nobody called for decided by a generation whose future it won't affect." he added "fantastic." many shared this quote from the comments section of the "financial times" website. "the younger generation has lost the right to live and work in 27 other countries. we will never know the full extent of the lost opportunities, friendships, marriages, and experiences we will be denied." but amidst the anger amongst young people here in the uk there's also this polling data saying that younger britons voted in much smaller numbers than older people and areas with the highest youth populations had the lowest turnout. bernita maddow is here with me. former conservative councilor who's trying to get young people more involved in politics. we should say you're a
12:23 am
conservative so people know where you're coming from. there's a lot of -- let me put this to you. a lot of people winging and moaning about the result but they're partly to blame thaws they didn't come out to vote. >> i think the turnout figure of 36% among people of my age group is quite disappointing. although it's good to see how engaged they've become since the referendum results have been announced, i think this is a lesson to us as a generation that we really need to engage in order to have our voices heard. >> but you tried that. people like you working really hard on the campaigns and yet they didn't come out. what are they telling you now? are they regretting they didn't come out? or were they just apathetic? >> i think there is a sense of regret for sure and i think where there is an app tooilt to engage in the future there are things like leadership elections and possibly elections to come in the coming years where people my age will actually make sure they are registered for, whether they are at university in another town, they'll make that time to make sure they can have their voice heard. >> do they feel as this their
12:24 am
voice wasn't going to be heard, there's no point, or did they disengage with the whole argument? ? there's a legacy issue with people my age. i'm 25 and my first general election when he i was 19 years old, lots of people in my generation voted for the liberal democrats, which thereafter perhaps betrayed them quite substantially. there is a legacy issue. people have become apathetic because they don't think necessarily they're being heard. but now we can see these decisions are so important and they can't afford to let older people and older generations who won't feel the consequences make them on our behalf. >> and this is part of a much broader context, isn't it? this is all in the context of house prices now unaffordable, that the country's in a lot of debt, that people are in a lot of debt. debt levels are she high. so your generation feels that the older generation has completely handed over a poison chalice. and this is just part of that. >> there is a big emotional
12:25 am
response from people in my generation. i've had friends contact me saying they've been in taerears. my sister when she found out about the result came in crying because she wants to study at rasmus. she wants to work for the european space agency and we don't know whether these funts are going to be available for us anymore. >> and they don't necessarily recognize national borders, have the same sense of nationalism. they're more internationalists. >> we are very much globalist in approach. we do find hopping on the eurostar to france so easy. and that is now a barrier which we didn't have to face in our lifetimes. >> is there a sense of anti-capitalism as well slipping through, do you think? >> perhaps 99 my friendship group. >> because you're conservative. but broadly. as you move on in your political career, do you think you're going to be challenged more by anti-capitalism groups? >> i think there will be loads of challenges for the younger generation. i don't think it's as easy to say as people are anti-capitalist or the 4,000
12:26 am
people who turned out to rally for -- >> you're attuned to the vibe. >> i don't see that in my friendship group. people want to buy houses. people are emotional because they may not be able to buy a home in london where they want to live where they have these job opportunities. i don't find that at all. but i do think that people are generally uncertain about jobs because things are such in flux right now and it's something we need to steady and i know that given the leadership election going on in my party very soon we'll have -- >> who are you supporting? >> i've not decided yet. >> thank you very much indeed. quick programming note for you. christiane amanpour will be interviewing the italian prime minister matteo renzi live in the next hour for you. a very big interview going into the summit meeting today. we'll be back in a moment.
12:30 am
welcome back to our viewers who are in the united states and all around the world. you are watching "cnn newsroom." i'm rosemary church at cnn world headquarters in atlanta. >> i'm max foster live in london just outside parliament. have a look at these european markets. they're showing some signs of life after the brexit vote, opening some quite big gains, more than 2%, 2 1/2% now in paris. i sort of chuckle because it's so baffling for investors right now. and in the hours ahead the british prime minister david cameron will try to provide some clarity as he comes face to face with the eu leaders for the first time since that uk vote to leaving the european union. he'll alive in brussels in about
12:31 am
three hours where he'll meet first of all with the european commission president jean-claude juncker. later he'll attend a working dinner with other eu leaders including german chancellor angela merkel, french president francois hollande and italian prime minister matteo renzi. we are covering this from all angl angles. my colleague jim bittermann is in paris. atika shubert is in berlin. jim, this new access. you have france, germany, and the uk before. now you've got france, germany, and italy. but how is france going into these negotiations or this summit -- i shouldn't say negotiations at this point. this summit today. >> well, the french would like to see negotiations, max. that's in fact what hollande has been pressing for. and let me just say, let me read you a paragraph at the end of that meeting yesterday between renzi and hollande, he said we must show responsibility at this moment even if it's also sad. responsibility means not wasting
12:32 am
time to deal with the departure of the united kingdom and not wasting time either on the question of stimulus we must give to the european 27. already discounting britain as part of the 28-member european union. francois hollande would like to see things move along quickly. we're expected to see the european parliament over in strasbourg hammer that point home today. they've got a law, a non-binding resolution that they're going to adopt apparently that's going to put pressure on britain to make a decision quickly. it's what a lot of people have been saying. one further note, max. that is there's been a lot of talk about the brexit, the possibility that there be a contagion effect with the british leaving the european union, that the french would like to do that too. but an opinion poll that's out this morning seems to indicate that the french would be of the opinion not to leave the european union by a score of 53-31. that opinion way poll taken for the frach senate. it basically shows that there's
12:33 am
still 16% of the french would be undecided on that question, max. >> in terms of how francois hollande handles the uk from here. certainly here in london. those that are likely to have a senior position in the next government want to have some informal negotiations before the formal ones start. i heard from a german m.e.p. earlier that they would regard that as illegal. there's only one mechanism for britain to leave the european union. that's the formal negotiations, which britain has to start. but they don't want to start it before they're ready. how's france going to handle that? do they just go into some sort of deadlock before they go into that formal process? >> i think that's exactly what we're looking at. a deadlock. and there's been a number of critics here about this idea -- over the idea that britain would let things ahang until the 2nd of september or whatever, they can come up with a new prime
12:34 am
minister. that's when david cameron says it's a new prime minister's job to trigger the article 50 and get the ball rolling. and i think the french would be of a mind along with germany that you can't do anything until there's a formal request by the british government to leave the european union. it just makes sense. any kind of prenegotiations wouldn't make any sense. the french are very frustrated with this situation which is going to drag out overt summer months apparently now. >> okay, jim. german chancellor angela merkel. she does not want to enter into talks until the uk formally starts the exit process from the eu either. for more on that let's go to atika shubert from berlin. you've got this unilateral position really on the part of the french and the germans. they're not going to go into informality talks. that pretty much says it to london, doesn't it? unless london starts that process, there's deadlock.
12:35 am
>> absolutely. germany, france, italy all closing ranks here and saying until they get the invocation of article 50 there will be no informal talks at all. which is exactly what many brexit supporters did not want to hear. but merkel's giving a little bit more leeway. she's not calling for article 50 to be invoekt immediately. she said she understands that the uk doesn't need some time. but at the same time she said this can't be a neverending story. that's what she said yesterday in the press conference. but it's very clear that the message from the eu, from germany and france especially, the two heavyweights here in the eu, is take your time thinking about this but don't call us, we'll call you. and that put the uk certainly into a very difficult negotiating position. >> and really what's the point in today's meeting, atika? what can david cameron, who's on the way out, really do to help
12:36 am
with the european view? because he doesn't represent the next government and he's actually lost the -- lost his campaign, didn't he? so what more can he do for chancellor merkel, for example? >> well, there's not a lot. in this case the uk really has lost awful its levers that it could push to negotiate. what we're going to be hearing today in parliament is -- in german parliament is chancellor merkel laying out her plan and strategy for the uk leaving the eu. after that she's going to fly off to belgium and these going to hear in brussels what cameron has to say. but you're right. there's not a lot he can do at this point. even the uk's commissioner in the eu has resigned. so if they've even lost their voice on the commission. so he's looking at a very awkward and dire situation there. one of the few friendly faces
12:37 am
will actually be germany's chancellor. because she has said take your time on this but think long and hard because once the article 50 is invoked there's no going back. >> okay. atika, thank you very much indeed. lots of developments in europe. another unforeseen consequence of the brexit the eu could lose exit as one of its official languages. once the uk leaves the bloc and the language loses its sponsor. >> every country has the right to one official language and the irish have notified gaelic, which is irish, and the maltese have notified maltese. so you have only uk notifying the english. if we don't have uk, we don't have english. >> well, english is one of the three working languages of the eu. it could remain a working language even if it were no longer an official one but that would require agreement by all member states, just showing the
12:38 am
process that has to unfold from here. capping several rough days, england gets another shock, meanwhile. their football team suffered a devastating upset against iceland at euro 2016, some saying it's the worst loss ever. england's population is more than 160 times larger than iceland's. but all that mattered on monday was the final score, and that was 2-1. that stunning result led to england's manager resigning. his counterpart over there on the icelandic side, we understand, is a part-time dentist. cnn world sport's christina macfarlane is following this. we're going to put our personal allegiances aside and we're going to champion iceland's incredible performance last night. but what was the football like in did they deserve it? >> they absolutely did deserve it, max. and not to want to overshadow -- let's not want to overshadow that performance because they
12:39 am
really took the game to england yesterday and the reason this is such a big shock is not just the fact that they -- they completely outplayed this england side yesterday. they were ruthless. they were organized. they were everything. they displayed incredible teamwork. they were everything that england were not. and now england out of europe for the second time in a week of course. and as you say, it will go down as one of the worst moments in england's football history. in fact, worse even than the loss back in 1950 at the world cup where they lost 1-0 to the usa. and as you say, iceland, such a tiny nation. only 330,000 people. they have more volcanoes in fact than they do professional footballers. the manager of england roy hodgson, just to show the discrepancy, was earning $4.6 million. the manager of iceland of course is a part-time dentist. four years ago they were ranked 133 in the world.
12:40 am
well, look at them now. they're into the quarterfinals of the european championship against france. and i have to say iceland now fancy their chances. >> how can england sort this one out? >> well, yesterday as we saw straight after the end of the match, roy hodgson came out and he resigned. so they will now need to regroup. the postmortem begins. they'll need to look for a new manager. but big questions being asked as to why they keep failing on such an international scale. they've never won a knockout game abroad outside of the european championships. and they haven't won outside a group stage of a championship, a major championship, since 2006. and these are players who come from the most -- supposedly the greatest and the most lucrative league in the world. the english premier league. harry kane was the leading goal corer of that league last year.
12:41 am
he hasn't scored a single goal in the european championship so far. wayne rooney is the all-time leading english goal scorer. he was incredibly sloppy yesterday. and of course this is a huge disappointment for the fans because just two years ago they went out of the group stages of the world cup. and this was meant to be the team who revitalized england's chances. instead we've all been left incredibly depressed and deflated today. max. >> oh, well. good on iceland anyway. thank you very much, christina. scotland is pushing to stay in the european union. and the first minister's laying out several options for the country today. we're going to get you the details next on "cnn newsroom."

parliament in the coming hours. she's suggested the parliament could block brexit legislation. cnn's david mckenzie joins us now from edinburgh in scotland. that's a big step to take, isn't it? but today's going to be the first sense of what the wider scottish or edinburgh parliament thinks about this. we've only really heard from nicola sturgeon so far. >> reporter: well, that's right. and the scottish national party, max, has most of the seats but not a clear majority in the scottish national parliament. so they'll be looking to reach across the aisle and try to get some union fkation to stay in the european union. i think that's the first step for nicola sturgeon, to try to show a united front in sharp contrast to the chaos in westminster that's seeing shadow ministers resign left, right, and center. they want to really show that they want to show the mandate of the people in scotland who voted
12:46 am
to stay within the union. and several times the first minister has said that that -- the prospect of being pulled out of the union is undemocratic. we'll see an emergency statement from sturgeon in the parliament and some debate most likely. the next step may be to call for an independent referendum. but to kind of reach across to conservatives particularly, they may want to sort of dial that down a little bit initially but really it's to show a contrast with westminster and to try to stay in europe. max? >> what do the wider scottish public think of all, this dor they just think it's high politics and they've lost touch with it? >> reporter: no, you know, it's interesting because there's a sense of pride, at least here in edinburgh, we've gotten from people, and that doesn't represent of course wider scotland, but when you add up both the levels of people who
12:47 am
voted to stay in the eu and also the kind of informal polls that have been held in the last few days there does seem to be an admiration of nicola sturgeon's planning. that friday morning when a lot of the country was -- political class in the country was thrown into chaos, there was a sense that she had a plan. and that certainly can't be said for politicians in westminster. so there is a sense that they on some level know what they're doing but the legal and diplomatic ramifications of trying to stay in the eu is very unclear. so we'll get a sense of that today. >> she certainly stood out as a leader, hasn't, she in the last couple of days.

hello, everyone. i'm rosemary church. we will get back to max foster and our brexit coverage in just a moment. but first a check of some other stories we're following. in cnn's latest poll of polls hillary clinton leads donald trump in the race for the white house. the presumptive democratic nominee is at 48%, with trump
12:52 am
trailing seven points behind. the survey reflects the most recent national polling among registered u.s. voters. as his poll numbers slip, donald trump is backtracking on one of his most controversial proposals. the presumptive republican nominee is altering his plan to ban muslim immigrants from entering the united states. sunlen serfaty has the latest. >> reporter: donald trump's abandonment of his complete muslim ban isn't the only example of the presumptive nominee softening his position. he's also reining in his tough talk on immigration, no longer featuring his call to deport undocumented immigrants in his stump speech. >> we want people coming into our country, but they have to come in legally. >> reporter: but one area where trump is not dialing his back, his criticism of political opponents. the presumptive gop nominee today blasting elizabeth warren after the progressive firebrand
12:53 am
attacked him during an appearance with hillary clinton. >> that's who donald trump is. the guy who wants it all for himself. and watch out. because he will crush you into the dirt to get whatever he wants. >> reporter: trump responding that warren is a racist and once again referring to warren by his favorite nickname for the massachusetts senator, pocahontas, telling nbc news, "she used the fact she was native american to advance her career. elizabeth war zren is a total fraud." trump's attempt at making some recalibrations coming just one week after the firing of his campaign manager corey lewandowski. and with his campaign facing serious headwinds. new polls show hillary clinton with a clear lead in national polls and reveal real warning signs for trump beneath the surface. while both candidates have high unfavorable ratings, more voters see trump in a negative light.
12:54 am
and a hefty 2/3 of voters see him as unqualified to be president. an assessment that even senate majority leader mitch mcconnell tried to dodge. >> he's made a number of mistakes over the last few weeks. i think they're beginning to right the ship. >> reporter: refusing to say whether he believes that trump is qualified to be president. >> it will be up to the american people to decide. the u.s. supreme court has made its most significant decision on abortion in the past two decades. the ruling could have a major impact on efforts to limit access to clinics that perform abortions. mary maloney has the story. >> reporter: cheers and hugs outside the highest court in the land after the supreme court struck down a texas law restricting access to abortion. >> after years of fighting heartless anti-choice politicians who would seemingly stop at nothing to put abortion out of reach, i want everybody to understand, you don't mess with texas women.
12:55 am
>> reporter: the law required abortion clinics to upgrade their facilities to hospital-like standards. and mandated clinic doctors have admitting privileges at nearby hospitals. supporters of the law argued it raised the level of care for women. >> even when having an abortion. it doesn't matter what you're in the hospital for or in a clinic for. you should have the ultimate safety standards. we're not a third world country. but the supreme court leftists apparently don't understand that. >> reporter: the law's opponents say it would have closed all but a handful of clinics in texas. in the majority opinion justice stephen breyer wrote "the law provides few if any health benefits for women, poses a substantial on stack toll women seeking abortions and constant tooul constitutes an undue burden on their constitutional right to do so." >> women across america have this h. their constitutional rights vindicated. >> reporter: by yiter dissenting opinion justice clarence thomas wro
12:56 am
wrote, "the court has simultaneously transformed judicially created rights like the right to abortion into preferred constitutional rights while disfavoring many of the rights actually enumerated in the constitution." >> we were really disappointed. the five justices let us down. we did face a loss. but the pro-life generation is coming back stronger than ever. >> reporter: i'm mary maloney reporting. sources say volkswagen is set to announce a record $15 billion settlement in its emissions scandal. the german automaker admitted to selling about 11 million cars with software designed to cheat emissions tests. the settlement would cover consumer claims and fines. a federal court still has to approve the deal. the company faces additional civil and criminal investigations.

egypt says french investigators have fixed the flight data recorder from egyptair flight 804. repairs on the cockpit voice recorder could wrap up within hours. the black boxes could show what caused the plane to crash into the mediterranean last month, killing 66 people. and we'll be right back with more of our coverage of the brexit with our max foster in london. i'm rosemary church in atlanta. you're watching cnn.
