11:00 pm
kwlas appalachia, with all its issues front and center, once you sit and look around, you see what people here see, a region that's one of the most beautiful areas of the country. people looking to be a part of this nation. and not forgotten because of it. . it's the grand old divide. republican senators asking the party's leadership to delay the vote on the buiill to replace obamacare. >> in columbia, at least six people died. a packed ferry sank. we will have a live report from that region. >> an interview with a former jihadi who fought for isis in asia. hello and welcome to our viewers joining us from all around the world. i'm rosemary church from cnn world headquarters in atlanta.
11:01 pm
>> and i'm george howell. cnn starts right now. around the world within fair to say it is a crucial week for health care in the united states. on the line, insurance coverage for millions of americans. president of the united states, donald trump, is hoping to make good on a major campaign promise to repeal and replace the affordable care act, dubbed obamacare. republican leaders are aiming to hold a vote on the new health care legislation this week but the senate bill in its current form does not appear to have enough votes to pass. >> so if president trump is working the phones, he is trying to convince reluctant senators to change their minds. listen to how the trump administration is defending the senate plan. >> the plan that we have would put in place would not allow individuals to fall through the cracks. we would not pull the rug out from under anybody. we would not have individuals lose coverage that they want for themselves and for their family.
11:02 pm
we want to make certain that health care is available to all-americans. >> as early as monday, the congressional budget office is expected to give its analysis of how many people will lose colorado coverage under the new plan. our athena jones has more. >> hi there, shaping up to be another monumental week. the ef to the repeal and replace obamacare with mitch mon ccconn determined to hold a vote on the repeal bill this week. the problem is that at least right now there are are not republican senators who had expressed opposition to this bill to effectively kill it. several others have expressed concerns about the bill. conservatives feel it does not go far enough to undue obamacare. meanwhile, more moderate senators feel it might leave the most needy americans behind. senator susan collins, republican of maine is particularly concerned about the cuts to medicaid proposed in
11:03 pm
this bill. but the white house is arguing that changes to that program should not be viewed as cuts. watch what kellyanne conway had to say about this on abc's this week. >> it is certainly going to be very difficult for my part i'm very concerned about the cost of insurance for older people with serious chronic illnesses. and the impact of the medicaid cuts on our state governments. most vulnerable people in our society. and health care providers such as our rural hospitals and nursing homes, most of whom are very dependent on the medicaid program. >> these are not cuts to medicaid. this slows the rate for the future and allows governors more flexibility with medicaid dollars. because they are closest to the people in need. medicaid is imperative. its founding was meant it help the poor, sick, needy. the disabled.
11:04 pm
children. some elderly. women. particularly pregnant women. we are trying to get medicaid back to its original -- >> there you heard conway arguing that stopping the expanse of medicaid, which was allowed under obamacare, and then putting a cap on the amount of money states will get for the program in the future, is not the same thing as cutting it. of course senator collins and several other moderate gop senators and governors disagree. i should also mention that congressional budget office which scored an earlier version of the bill, house version, which had similar changes to medicaid found that it would amount to more than $800 billion in cuts. now we do expect we could get the cvo's score of the latest version of the bill as soon as tomorrow. as soon as monday. that will good a long way to letting senators know what the cost of the bill will be. what its impact will be and how it will affect the american
11:05 pm
public. how many people stand to potentially lose insurance coverage. president trump has been hitting the phones. he has folk spoken with senators cruz and paul to try to win them, get this bill across the finish line. but senate whip john cornen acknowledged that it'll be close. there is a lot to watch out for this week. back to you. >> thanks so much for that. meantime, the president is trying to shift the focus of the ongoing investigation of russian interference in last year's election. >> mr. trump pointing the finger now at former challenger at u.s. election and the man who held the job before him. as cnn's ryan nobles reports for us. >> president trump spent a lot of time during the campaign and after his election attempting to down play russia's role intervening in the election. now after this report in the washington post that details obama administration's response to the intelligence community's
11:06 pm
assessment, he seems willing to admit russia's efforts as long as he can blaine president obama for not doing enough. former obama administration officials argue that the then president figured out about the problem too late to figure about the impact of rush why's efforts. he was concerned about intervening too much would have a dramatic political ram if ication. perhaps giving the impression that he was working to help hillary clinton's campaign. but conceding in the post report that they could have done more, and on the state of the union adam schiff, ranking member on the intelligence committee, agreed. >> the american people needed to know and i didn't think it was enough to tell them after the election but rather given the seriousness of this, i think the administration needs to call out russia earlier. needed to act to deter and punish russia earlier and i think that was a very serious mistake. >> schiff did go on to say that even though obama could have and maybe should have done more, that doesn't change the fact that candidate trump was part of
11:07 pm
the problem. egging wikileaks and even russia on telling them in speeches to reveal more about hack dnc e-mails and e-mails from hillary clinton eprivate server. now it seems as trump is using the inaction to deflect from his campaign's possible collusion with russia, which he has denied. how yesterday morning trump tweeting quote hillary clinton colluded with the democratic party in order to beat crazy bernie sanders. is she allowed collude? unfair to bernie. the democratic national committee showed some favoring clinton's campaign during the primary season. this is at a time when robert mueller continues his investigation and at least three different congressional committee continue their probe into russia's role in the 2016 election. ryan noble, cnn, washington.
11:08 pm
>> thank for the report. a meeting monday for the president set to meet with the prime minister of india. those talks could be strained over several issues. here is why. the president wants it reduce the trade deficit and currently a $24 billion trade imbalance with india. >> mr. trump has been critical of the h-1b work visa. about 70% go to tech workers from india. and now that the u.s. has withdrawn from the paris climate agreement, india is looking to take a leadership role on global warming issues. >> big meeting ahead monday. a lot to talk about. let's bring in nicole kumar from "time" magazine in new delhi. first, let's break these issues town. first one, work visas. specifically h-1b, which for indians, top ben nish arearies in the united states for tech areas, but the program replaces americanes with cheap foreign
11:09 pm
workers, they say. >> there is divide over this issue. and india wants, india wants -- for india tech companies that program is very important. because the u.s. mark set very important for them. president trump, as you say, it makes it very nervous. it is part aftof a larger issue. when he meets mr. trump, he will try to -- how do you convince the u.s. administration that this is in america's interest. you have president trump articulating the america first mantra. and how do you make that work together? so mr. modi will say the rise benefits america. that strengthens them. indian tech workers when they come to the u.s., that benefits
11:10 pm
the u.s. economy. it is a very important issue. very important issue. >> but again the question comes down to can the slogan make america great again and made in india, can those two slogans be squared together in. >> absolutely. squaring this is the purpose of this trip or trying to square them. as you said, they have spoken on the food, but prime minister modi hasn't met president trump yet. this is the first face-to-face meeting between the two of them. you will notice this is a much shorter trip than his last trips to the u.s. when he came to new york as well and he had this massive rally within the community of madison square garden. there was a joint address with a joint session of congress on one of his subsequent trips. they are focussing very much and trying to work out what trump administration wants to do with what has become an increasingly important bilateral relationship over the last few decades and one which india, one which india
11:11 pm
seeks continuity. they want continuity from the bush years, obama years. they will try and get continuity. >> we appreciate your time today. thank you. >> we are back to the health care debate in the united states. and while senators consider the republican bill coverage for billions of americans is on the line. ethan is one of them. he was born with a rare genetic disorder and which some organs form on the wrong side of the body. his mother tweeted her son's latest hospital bill and it went viral. she wrote, and i'm quoting here, it seems fitting that with the trump care debate raging i got this bill in the mail today from ethan's most recent open heart surgery. she says without insurance they would owe about $231,000. for about two weeks in hospital. the senate bill could allow
11:12 pm
insurers to cover fewer services for people with preexisting conditions like allison's son who is now three years old. and she is begging lawmakers to consider the fate of c like ethan. >> how can anyone look a 2-year-old child in the face and say, you're not worth it. but what they are doing with the bills, what they are doing with the lifetime cap is say you have used up enough resources. i'm sorry you were born sick. i'm sorry your mother chose life for you and you were born sick. but now that life is not worth saving any more. you can't be -- you can't call yourself pro life if you're not willing to be part of a system that protects the most vulnerable. protects life from birth to death. >> that was elson speaking to cnn's new day earlier. one of the most talked about provision nets senate health bill, defunding of planned parenthood for one year.
11:13 pm
that could be a sticking point for at least two senators, susan collins from maine, and lisa mccould you ski from alaska. they say they will introduce an amendment to take that out. >> cnn's medical koercorrespond liz y elizabeth cohen looks at how a cut could impact one mother in the state of california. after suffering three mi miscarriages, they were killed when they became pregnant with daughter, bailey. >> we wanted to make sure this pregnancy was going to stick and be healthy. in toward do thorder to do that mexico we went. >> that's right. off to mexico. that's because the gonzalez's live in el centro california, in a medically underserved area. ariana has health insurance through her job as a high school
11:14 pm
teacher. but there are simply not enough doctors to go around so she would have to wait six weeks to see her obstetrician. that's when she was happy when a clinic opened in her town to fill the void. now she is worried all over the again. >> ayes 217, nays 213. >> because the american health care act passed recently by the health of representatives defunds planned parenthood. the new senate proposal would do the same. that could force her clinic to close. the clinic where she gets birth control and gynecological care. if it closed, she would be right back where she started. >> if your clinic closes down, you would leave your country. >> yes. >> to go get care. >> yes. i know people might be thinking, that's a little bit drastic. and it is. >> she doesn't want it leave her country to see a doctor and face this long line at the border. but right here over the border in mexico, there are plenty of doctors ready and waiting it see americans. republicans say ariana shouldn't worry. she will have ready access to
11:15 pm
care in the united states. because while the health care bill takes money away from planned arnt parenthood it provides $221 million to beef up centers like this in her town that don't provide abortions. >> for every planet parenthood there are 20 community health centers that are vastly bigger in network, and there are so many more of them and they provide these services without all of the controversy surrounding this issue. >> many say community health clinics can't fill the void left by planned parenthood closures that they don't have the capacity. now ariana has a message for senators before they vote to defund planned parenthood. >> if their doors are shut, you will drive your own constituents to an entirely different country in search of health care. that's not america. >> she said she hopes and prays that senators won't send her away from her own country to see a doctor. >> i think it's shameful and i think they should be
11:16 pm
embarrassed. >> elizabeth cohen, cnn, el centro, california. >> a huge issue in the united states at front and center. we will take a very short break here. but still to come, six people died and more than 30 others are missing after a packed tourist boat sanked in a reservoir. we will have the latest from colombia. >> plus, wildfires. raging across southern spain forcing hundreds of people out of their homes and now a popular national park is being threatened by the flames. stay with us. you're watching "cnn newsroom." at whole foods market, we believe in food that's naturally beautiful and fresh. delicious and powerful, and full of nutrients. so there are no artificial colors... no artificial flavors... no artificial preservatives... and no artificial sweeteners... ...in any of the food we sell. we believe that the food we eat

11:25 pm
working with. any time have you 20, 30 degree slope, and a lot of that water will want to funnel down stream. but that weight that weighs down on the isle, with heavy rain fall allows these landslide situations that he were expecting and we have seen across parts of china over the last several days. you look at some images, heavy machinery in place. we know upstream where we had the last light take place, about two kilometer area blocked by the debris there that's been jammed up. any time you have this scenario that begins in other issue upstream where you have mud slides in place. a lot of the debris that again, dams across the region. the river itself bursts its bank and communities are dealing with something even just the severe as what you saw down stream with the landslide itself. that something we are watching across the region. notice showers again south of the area of concern and you will notice that will want to migrate north. in the next couple days, light
11:26 pm
to moderate showers here, with temps into the lower 30s. 9 degrees fahrenheit. hot and muggy across the region. but the before and after perspective shows you the significance of what occurred there with the community buried and again this sort after landscape here with a lot of rain fall in recent days. earthquake in 2008 that registered at 8.0 which would be equivalent of 15 million tons of tnt. that's the amount of shaking involved in this region and also believed to have played a role and destablizing of the land as well. >> thank you for keeping a close eye on that. appreciate it. >> thank you. >> the death toll from an oil tanker explosion in eastern pakistan has risen to 153 people. the blast happened sunday morning in the town of bahawalpur. >> dozens of people were injury

11:35 pm
interview sunday on fox news. >> well i just heard today for the first time that obama knew about russia a long time before the election and he did nothing about it but nobody wants to talk about that. the cia gave him information on russia a long time before they even, you know, before the election. and i hardly see it. it is an amazing thing. to me, you know, in other words the question is, if he had the information, why didn't he do something about it? he should have done something about it. but you don't read that. it's quite sad. >> for more on this and contributor and former moscow chief jill dougherty joins us from moscow. jill, trump acknowledged that russia did interfere in the 2016 presidential election but is now trying to blame predecessor barack obama for kremlin interference. is that likely to get any traction and change the focus of this store wrib do y
11:36 pm
this story, do you think? >> i think among the people who support them probably with take his view. his view is rather simple. if you analyze it. what he is saying is, obama knew, he didn't do anything about it. but actually, the truth is much more complicated. obama knew but these things were incremental. in the beginning, the whole picture wasn't really clear. the scope of this operation. then the information about the complicit of president putin. then what you know about it. the debate is, did he do enough? he steps by sanctions. and also interestingly in that washington post report they talk about the cyber implants in essence kind of cyber weapons that were to be, according to a plan that obama approved, inserted into the infrastructure

of the network of russia, to be used bay president if they wanted to get back at russia at some other time. and i think that's an interesting point. now shifting focus to right now, will president trump decide to use that to continue that program and potentially use it as a threat? you have both men, putin and trump about to meet, we think, unless something happens. but back to meet at the g20 in germany, and just a couple of weeks. it it's july 7-8. and we don't know if they will meet or talk about any of this. >> it'll be interesting to see what happens there. how is all of this playing out across russia right now? >> when we talk with russian
11:38 pm
officials there is a certain sense of frustration. they feel that they have been inundated with questions for months and months and months. they claim as putin said many times, we didn't do anything. they claim the united states interfered in russia. what they are doing is they are not engaging in substance of this debate or the reporting. what they are saying is you do it and so and we do not. that's essentially what they are doing. and meanwhile there's a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes. you do have preparation for this -- the g20 meeting. you have issues of nuclear agreements that are now out there like in the u.s. congress trying to, for some people, supporting pulling out of one agreement. inf treaty. there's a lot on the table and a lot not being done quite honestly between the two countries that need to be done.
