that mush sha meddled in last year's election. >> he denied such involvement. >> not a single fact has been presented. >> i think it's going very well. look forward to a lot of very positive things happening. >> he used the language that this concerns the american people. he never said as far as we know that this concerns him. what's troublesome is that it does not appear that it's his concern. >> the sidelines of the g20 summit. >> melania trump was on lockdown as protests raged outside her
3:01 am
hotel. by dinner time the trumps emerged. the first lady's companion was none other than vladimir putin. this is "new day" weekend. >> well, good morning to you. a critical moment for president trump on the world stage. the president will meet with chinese president jinping hoping to use the company's leverage to stop north korea's ballistic missile program. tensions are rising near china. >> and a new trade deal with the uk very, very quickly, he says but as the president tries to talk trade he cannot escape the questions about russia's interference in the 2016 election. >> i'd like to thank you for being with us.
3:02 am
we've had tremendous talks. there's no country that could possibly be closer than our countries. and i just want to say thank you very much. we are working on a trade deal which is a very, very big deal, great for both countries and i think we'll have that done very, very quickly. we have all of our trade people, we have all of the trade people, rex and i had a tremendous meeting yesterday with president putin and we've had really great meetings with a lot of people. we're having a lot today, but prime minister may and i have developed a very special relationship and i think trade will be a very big factor between our two countries so i want to thank you very much. >> mr. president, did the russians lie about your meetings yesterday? >> thank you.
3:03 am
>> i will be going to london, yes. >> reporter: when will you be going sir? >> we'll work that out. >> that question you heard there on the heels of another, he said the president has found himself in russia's foreign minister telling journalists that the president accepted mr. putin word that the kremlin was not involved in the 2016 election. a senior trump administration official immediately denied that claim. we have a team of reporters and political analysts around the globe standing by. let's begin with our senior white house correspondent jim accosta. tell us more about how the administration is responding. >> reporter: that's right. as a matter of fact, we did hear from a senior administration official who said that no, the president did not accept vladimir putin's claim of noninterference in last year's election but it is one of the big questions coming out of this
3:04 am
historic meeting here at the g20. >> president putin and i have been discussing various things and i think it's going very well. >> just after the cameras were kicked out of the room president trump reportedly did as many of his critics saw as unthinkable. >> translator: i'm delighted to meet you personally. >> he confronted on u.s. concerns that russia meddled on last year's election. during a meeting that ran much longer than expected, tillerson said the president raised the issue repeatedly. >> the president pressed president putin on more than one occasion involving russian involvement. president putin denied such involvement as i think he has in the past. >> reporter: briefing reporters offcamera the two leaders never came to an agreement on the issue of interference. >> what the two presidents i think rightly focused on is how do we move forward? how do we move forward from here? because it's not clear to me that we will ever come to some
3:05 am
agreed upon resolution of that question between the two nations, so the question is what do we do now? >> reporter: but that's not exactly how the russians described it. speaking to reporters on camera the prime minister said the president accepted putin's denial. >> translator: president trump said he heard putin's very clear statements that this is not true and that the russian government did not interfere in the elections and that he accepts these statements. that's all. lavrov said putin is waiting on proof of the meddling. >> translator: not a single fact has been presented and this is something that has been acknowledged by the people in congress. >> reporter: a senior administration official told cnn president trump did not accept putin's denial. still the president's decision to press him on interference is a significant shift. just a day ago the president continued to doubt the meddling.
3:06 am
>> i think it was russia and i think it could have been other people in other countries. could have been a lot of people interfered. >> reporter: mr. trump continued to blame others, slamming former clinton campaign chair tweeting everyone here is talking about how john podesta refused to give the server to the fbi and the cia. podesta who had no ability to turn over to investigators responded get a grip, man. the russians committed a crime when they stole my e-mails to help get you elected president. there was some harmony in the meeting. >> there was a very clear positive chemistry between the two. >> reporter: both leaders worked to deescalate hostilities in syria. that may not be enough for european leaders like angela merkel who appeared to flash an eye roll during her own meeting with putin.
3:07 am
the president spared any diplomatic niceties when he was asked whether he still expects mexico to pay for a wall on the border. absolutely, he said. >> now, one of the other big questions that need to be resolved coming out of this g20 summit is just what the president thinks about these conversations about russian meddling and last year's election. the secretary of state rex tillerson said the president was essentially passing on the concerns of the american people, expressing some of his frustrations according to the russian foreign minister lavrov, that does not tell us whether russia definitively meddled in the election. as you noted in that spray that bilateral spray with the british prime minister may, he did not answer that question whether the russians lied. there will be some other opportunities for the president
3:08 am
to be asked this question. he's going to be sitting down with japanese prime minister abe and north korea will certainly be on the agenda as the president holds these meetings. he'll be wrapping that up heading back to washington within the next 24 hours. back to you. >> all right. thanks so much. what's noticeable here is the kremlin having an entirely different view of their meeting with president trump than the u.s. did. let's go to cnn senior international correspondent ivan watson. what is the narrative you're hearing there in moscow? >> reporter: first of all russian officials seem delighted with this meeting saying you've got a top leader here in moscow saying it was a break through. you've got media reporting that the bilateral meeting has overshadowed the entire g20 summit. then we have these divergent accounts of the actual one on
3:09 am
one face to face meeting with the russian top diplomat coming out and basically putting words in president trump's mouth saying for example as we just heard from jim that president trump accepted putin's denials of any meddling in the november 2016 presidential election and going one step further and claiming that president trump said certain groups in the u.s. are trying to fan to inflame the topic of russian interference in the u.s. elections ostensibly for domestic political gain and as we heard from jim, then you had to have a white house official speaking unnamed denying that version of accounts. there are other areas where the two sides did agree on setting up a local cease fire in south western syria in that awful civil war. other areas where they disagree, namely north korea. the russian position is that
3:10 am
north korea did not fire an intercontinental ballistic missile, they insist it was a medium range ballistic missile despite claims to the contrary by both north korea and the u.s. military. >> all right. ivan watson, appreciate the update. thank you. >> let's bring in cnn political commentator and kellyanne the ed door at the weekly standard. >> let's start with this discrepancy. you have president trump who has late as thursday on salutely could not say they meddled in the election and then on the other side lavrov who is said to be flatout lying about the u.s. denial into the meddling of the election and does one have more credibility on this than the other? >> the discrepancy is the result among other things about having
3:11 am
an american administration that has consistently not been clear about what they think happened. so you know, if -- if lavrov says well, the president said that he thinks that, you know, it's unclear what the source of the meddling was or whether it was really the russians that is consistent with what the president said even the day before. to make things a little bit more difficult from the point of view of the credibility of the trump administrati administration's version of the facts is that ridiculous tweet about john podesta. everyone here is talking about it. who does he mean by everyone? it's safe to say that most of the foreign diplomats have no idea who john podesta was or what that relatively narrow point from the 2016 election which is almost a year ago now, what significance it might have been on this very critical question. so i think the trump administration just by being unclear, by having that nonsense tweet and by failing to actually have a straightforward on camera briefing with reporters right
3:12 am
after the meeting sort of did themselves no favor. >> so let me come to you on this new cease fire that was announced. this is not the first cease fire that would have been brokered between the u.s. and russia. there was one that was announced about ten months ago that lasted three days. what's the significance of this one? put it into context. >> reporter: exactly. you know, as soon as i heard big news out of the trump putin meeting, there is a syrian cease fire agreement i thought, well, how long is this one going to last? the last one, three days, and you know, i remember john kerry at the time trumpeting that cease fire agreement and it did not last. and this is one of the big ing thises that came out of the u.s. meeting with putin is we got a cease fire agreement. i don't expect it to last and let's face it. one of the reasons the syrian war has continued is because of russian's involvement. you know, we have a pretty good
3:13 am
idea that the russians have been involved in some pretty nasty things in syria. they have helped bomb civilians it looks like and i wonder, did president trump bring that up with vladimir putin? >> speaking of this new cooperation, lavrov and tillerson announced this bilateral working group on many things, one of them being cyber security. i want you to look at what we heard from adam schiff who's ranking democrat on house intelligence. he said it technically adopts the fiction that the russians are a constructive partner on the subject instead of the worse actor on the world stage. your reaction to this new working group. >> yeah, that -- that's well put. i mean, what i was thinking was it was a working group made up of say the cops and the burglars who investigate crime, to investigate theft would be an odd sort of formation. in this case what has consistently been missing in the whole conversation has been does
3:14 am
the united states in the form of the trump administration acknowledge that the crime even happened? and everything that they've said is we'll have to agree to disagree on the basic facts although the u.s. intelligence agencies, the relevant agencies have been crystal clear repeatedly and publicly. once you decide that you're going to, you know, sort of shuffle this off to a committee and work with the very perpetrators of this important sort of destructive act, it's a way of really trying to bury the entire issue which is not going to stop the investigation. so it means that the congressional investigations, it means that the special council that's looking into this is going to have to be the place where this gets resolved, not in this new committee. >> so just a few moments ago president trump announced $50 million pledge to a world bank initiative to offer financing to women entrepreneurs around the world. i want you to listen to what the president said just a few months ago in april.
3:15 am
>> we enriched foreign countries at the expense of our own country, the great united states of america. but those days are over. i'm not and i don't want to be the president of the world. i'm the president of the united states. and from now on, it's going to be america first. >> so agree with the investment or do not? we'll put that aside. is there a discrepancy here between this $50 million pledge and the president who said i'm not the president of paris, i'm not here to represent paris, i'm here to represent pittsburgh, america first. >> definitely. it is -- you know, we have to mention of course that this fund was the brain child of ivanka trump, the president's daughter, and we've gotten so many mixed signals out of this white house and we've heard the president's daughter is saying that, you know, basically implying that she's a moderate, she's trying to moderate her father and he's
3:16 am
kind of going along with it when it suits him. to me what's incredible is what an opportunity president trump had at this g20 summit and his meeting with vladimir putin to finally, you know, answer some of his critics who have been -- i mean, this russian stuff has been dogging him since the beginning, since he was elected and imagine if he had had a strong on camera statement to vladimir putin saying, listen, we know you did this, it's not acceptable. he would have silenced his critics. what an incredible opportunity and instead we are hearing the kind of double talk on, you know, just about every issue that he's discussed at this meeting. >> it's important to point out that we've heard secretary tillerson's account of what the president said. we have not heard the president say anything about russia meddling since thursday when he said it could have been russia, it could have been other countries as well. thanks so much. >> thank you. there's a new cnn documentary exploring the question, did russian president vladimir putin use his power to

did you hear, "talk more and disappoint me"? ♪ do do do do ♪ skiddly do do ♪ camping with the family ♪ [ flame whooshes ] the united states military is sending a message to north korea after its latest missile test. two u.s. bombers flew around the peninsula overnight as part of a ten hour military drill with south korean and japanese military forces.
3:22 am
it was a warning that the u.s. and its allies are ready to unleash the full lethal capability of their air forces. the u.s. also plans to test its missile defense system. it's also known as thad. this is going to happen inthe next few days. defense officials tell cnn the test is not a direct response to north korea's latest test although the system is designed to defend against missile threats. shorter distance than the icbm but still this can be taken in that context. >> these drills come as the president plans to meet with the chinese president later on this morning. rex tillerson says the u.s. is still hoping china can help solve the situation in north korea. president trump contends he's ready to go it alone if he has to. can the allies find some common ground here? here's andrew stevens. >> a man that i've gotten to like and respect -- >> reporter: it was hailed as a budding bromance.
3:23 am
all smiles as jinping and trump met in april. a key issue for the two leaders, north korea. trump famously said he'd listen to xi explain chinese history to him for ten minutes and it made him realize it's not what you would think. but in the months since, trump's had a lesson in real politics. this week's missile test showing that north korea, the u.s. and china are still miles apart. >> the issue is north korea is quickly becoming a major barrier in the relationship between washington and beijing. both countries see north korea as a major headache. they both want to resolve it very ernestly, but the issue is they are not on the same page about how to most effectively deal with north korea. >> reporter: trump appears to believe that china is still the key to controlling north korea
3:24 am
judging from his tweets on china over the past few days. china is north korea's closest and main trading partner and trump wants china to apply more economic pressure on kim jong-un. china says it had implemented un sanctions including blocking coal exports from north korea which cuts off a key source of hard currency for the regime. the u.s. says that's not enough and the bromance has been turning sour. prt xi this week complaining of negative factors which are complicating the u.s./china relationship. china is dismayed with a weapons dole with taiwan and the u.s. navy sailing through disputed waters in the south china sea claimed by china as its own. >> we're almost at the end of a honeymo honeymoon. they're doing things that are now getting under china's skin. so it's a combined sort of now
3:25 am
we like you, but on the other hand, now we're going to press you. and as if to say we can manipulate china into behaving the way we want to. i don't think that works too well. >> that is not the way to play china. >> i don't think so. i don't think china especially now jinping has to look strong, has to look consistent, has to be the man of stability. he's not going to do something that is at trump's bidding. >> reporter: china is also clear that it does not want regime change in north korea. >> the dilemma is as follows. in order for economic sanction to be able to force north korea todenuclearize, it has to directly threaten the economic system and therefore threaten the stability of the regime. >> reporter: cnn, hong kong. well, more than 200 police officers have been injured in a second day of violent protests
3:26 am
outside the g20 summit in hamburg. >> this comes after thousands of protesters set fires there in the string. they looted, attacked police with rockets and bottles. police in turn fired water cannons and this all went into the crowds here. they've even called in reenforcement from across the country to help. senior international correspondent in hamburg with more. just about noon there, a little after noon where you are. how are things now? >> reporter: well, things so far are a very festive atmosphere. we saw cars burning last night, a number of people injured but today is a very different atmosphere. this is the solidarity without borders march and there are thousands of people taking to the streets. this will be by far the biggest protest. i'm going to ask my cameraman to lift up his camera so you can see the crowds, how far back they stretch and it's a mix of people here. anti capitalist groups.
3:27 am
we have environmental activists. also kurdish nationalists all marching along here today and it's not the only protest. there is also another protest marching through the city so there will be a lot of people on the street and a lot of riot police as well. thousands of police are out here to try and keep it calm, hopefully that stays the case. so far we don't see any of those protesters that have triggered some of the violence in other demonstrations and so the hope is this festive atmosphere will keep on for the rest of the day. >> all right. thanks so much. all right. protesters we told you angry about health care. we've talked about this weekend as the senate will go back to session in just two days. will this bill move forward? we're hearing that mitch mcconnell says he may have to work with democrats.

3:33 am
countries so i want to thank you very much. >> so you heard the questions being shouted. that meeting came a day after the head liner that the president's more than two hour discussion with russian president vladimir putin and both sides have their own versions of what happened. and there is another high stakes meeting looming later this morning. president trump sitting down with chinese president xi jinping before returning to washington, most likely talking trade there as well as north korea, but he'll be leaving protests behind in hamburg. take a look at the pictures we're getting in here of what's been happening, some of which have turned violent. more than 200 officers in fact, have been injured and i want to share with you, some of the pictures we're just getting in from the happenings there in hamburg this morning. moments ago president trump meeting with his indonesian counterpart and we have another
3:34 am
meeting here, i believe with -- well, we do know that president putin did meet also earlier this morning with turkish president. and here's the thing we're talking about what's happened in the last 24 hours. there are two very different r narratives coming out of what happened in the meeting behind closed doors with president trump and president putin. what russia is saying is very different than the u.s. is saying in terms of the takeaway. >> let's go to nick robertson and again, you know, we're hearing from president trump who really has never been committed to that russian interference in the election and from lavrov who the u.s. intelligence community says is defending the underlying lie that russia was involved. >> reporter: yeah, and there was an opportunity to ask love v lavrov questions again today and he was asked about the
3:35 am
difference of interpretation of what came out of that meeting, and he said -- well, the question was clear to him who to trust, you or the americans? and he said trust lavrov, i don't work for tillerson, but ill fell to the white house to answer a question late last night why was it that the kremlin and secretary of state rex tillerson had two different accounts of what happened in that meeting. we were told that president trump put to president putin concerns of americans, not his own concerns but concerns of americans of the meddling in the elections, and that the secretary tillerson said there was an impasse over there. they weren't going to relitigate the past and president trump decided to move on because he was getting on well with president putin and they just saw it better to work on the future rather than to go over that issue. you know, putin told trump we're
3:36 am
told by secretary tillerson that he wasn't involved and that russia wasn't involved in the meddling in the u.s. elections. the russian interpretation of that was that that statement was accepted by president trump and the white house has said no, that wasn't correct. it wasn't accepted by president trump, so a clear difference of explanation there and therefore, you know, many people are left wondering what really went on in there and that's why all the questions are being shouted out to president trump at the end of the meeting there he had with the british prime minister teresa may which is something we've become familiar with because there was no white house press briefing on camera. after wards tillerson on audio taking journalists' questions and answering. but that's why all the many shouted questions to president trump this morning. >> so appreciate the update. thank you. mitch mcconnell's suggestion about holding bipartisan talks
3:37 am
on a new health care bill comes as a bit of a surprise to the white house. officials tell cnn some in the white house were caught offguard by his comments earlier this week. right now lawmakers are in recess, but some are facing their constituents back home. the majority leader told kentuckyians, if republicans cannot do it on their own, some other kind of action must occur. in the meantime want to take you to ohio here. several demonstrators, some of them disability activists were arrested at republican senator rob portman's office. they've been protesting against the gop health care bill since thursday. officers dragged away people who blocked the building's doors there and house speaker paul ryan back in his home state telling residents he expects senators to resume working on passing a new health care bill as soon as possible. >> let's have a system that stabilizes the health care marketplace, let people buy what they want to buy, give people an advance refundable tax credit to go buy health insurance.
3:38 am
>> lawmakers are returning to capitol hill next week. >> the stock market got a little jump from the latest jobs report. closed higher yesterday with the news that 222 jobs were added in june. unemployment did tick up slightly, but cnn chief business correspondent christine romans breaks the numbers down for us. >> companies were hiring at a pretty brisk pace at the end of the spring and into the early summer. you can see in june 222,000 net new jobs created and the revised higher from the government forecasts so this shows a robust clip of job creation. when you look at the unemployment rate it's still near the lowest since 2001. it ticked up just a little bit to 4.4%. that number is still historically low and the reason why it ticked up is because some 350,000 people even a little more than that came off the sidelines and started looking for work.
3:39 am
so an increase in the unemployment rate for the right reason, because people feel 'em boldened by what they're hearing from friends and family, what they're seeing on the news about the job market and they're ready to go and find a job again. it was pretty broad based. another thousand jobs created in manufacturing. you've seen a little bit of renewed activity in the manufacturing sector because of a weak dollar and good global growth. the food and bar, bar and restaurant jobs another 29,000 of those. that's maybe a sign that, you know, consumers are spending and companies have to hire people to wait on them and serve them and business and information services, these tend to be higher paid office jobs, some of these are technology, consulting jobs, these jobs a good job creation there and in health care we saw very good job creation in health care. that is something that has been a year's long trend overall. where does this stack up in the promise to create 25 million jobs over the next ten years? if you could do this every
3:40 am
single month you'd get there. how does it stack up to what we've seen in past years? it's a continuation really of a strong growth over the past few years and you can see here 863,000 jobs created in the u.s. from february to june, just a little bit shy of the strong jobs creation we've seen the two prior years. >> all right. thanks so much. let's turn now to a major milestone in the fight against isis in syria. an exclusive look inside isis' capital now surrounded by u.s. and rebel forces. >> reporter: we are now inside the old city walls of raqqa, the capital of isis, self-declared in the territory in which they will make their final stand in syria and really the middle east. it's about moving forward, not back. it's looking up, not down. it's being in motion. in body, in spirit, in the now.
