part of london's famed camden

market goes up in flames. >> from world headquarters here in atlanta, we want to welcome our viewers from the united states and all warned the world. i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen and you're watching "cnn newsroom." >> thank you again for joining us. we begin with breaking news. new york times reporting that the president's son, donald trump jr, met with the russian lawyer after being promised damaging information on hillary clinton. the times says the meeting took place on june 9th of last year. that was two weeks after donald trump clenched the republican presidential nomination. this is the first public indication that at least some in the trump campaign were willing to accept russian help. >> donald trump jr provide cnn with the following statement. quote -- i was asked to have a meeting by an acquaintance i knew from the 2013 miss universe pageant with an individual who i was told might have information

helpful to the campaign. i was not told her name prior to the meeting. i asked jared and paul to attend but told them nothing of the substance. we add meeting in june of 2016. after please an tries were ex changed the woman stated that she had information that individuals won nekted to russia were funding the democratic national committee's and supporting miss clinton. her statements were vague and ambiguous and made no sense. no details or supporting information was provided or even offered. it quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information. she then changed subjects and gaen discussing the adoption of russian children and mentioned the maginitsky act. it became clear to me that this was the true agenda all along and that claims of potentially

helpful information were a pretext for the meet pg. i interrupted and advised her that my father was not an elected official but rather a private sit even and that her comments and concerned were better addressed if and when he held public office. the meeting lasted approximately 20 to 30 minutes. as it ended my acquaintance apologized for taking up our time. that was the end of it and there was no further contacted or follow-up of any kind. >> she told the paper that nothing about the u.s. presidential campaign was discussed in that meeting. we get more now from cnn's elise labity. >> the attorney, was talking about an adoption ban put in place years ago as retaliation for american law passed in 2012. that law is known as the

magnitsky act. and she has also sought repeal of that legislation and that is what she wanted to talk about. now trump jr said he quickly ended the meeting that point. saying that the issue would be better addressed if his father won the election. but trump jr never reported the meeting. but it does seem to be early indications that sush rans weus were seeking out members of the trump campaign. we have not been able to reach her but she did tell the "new york times" she was not asking on behalf of the russian government. she said she never discussed matters with any government representatives but again she is known as someone who had worked to try and repeal this u.s. legislation damaging to russian officials. and sh could be of interest to special counsel robert mueller whose investigation is looking into contacts between russia,

trump campaign and allegations of collusion which president trump has denied. >> elise labott there with details. as elise mentioned, robert mueller and congressional committees are looking into whether the trump campaign had contactes with russia. michael talked with cnn about the latest revelations. >> this is possibly a piece of a puzzle that's now been put together which is information seized illegally from the dnc. a cutout and yet these bridge of spies to see whether or not this is a cutout on behalf of the government of the sof yviet uni of russia, or not. it seems like it was. can you kushner at the meeting, at the behest of trump jr. he is the link for the campaign. next thing we knee there is wikileaks leak. those to me are not as easily

tld as coincidences. i that i is something that mueller will look at carefully. in legal terms, when have you a circumstantial case, which is what this is, where people say different things and you have to evaluate the credibility of witnesses to make determinations as to who is truthful and who's not, these evolving stories, this drip, drip, drip of the truth just doesn't seem to be in any way helpful to their legal position which will be down the line evaluated by mueller. >> all of this comes on the heels of that face-to-face meeting between the u.s. president donald trump and the russian president vladimir putin and during the conversation, mr. trump brought up russia's meddling in the u.s. election. here's how he explains it in a tweet. quote, i strongly pressed president putin twice about russian meddling in our election. he vehemently denied it. i've already given my opinion, he says. white house chief of staff

writes, he said that russia dbe russia meddled. >> he said they did meddle in the election. and says, can which drives the media crazy, but it is an absolute fact, is that others may have as well. that's true. china has. north korea has. they have consistently over many, many years. so yes, he believes that russia probably committed all of these acts that we've been told of. but he also believes that other countries also participated -- >> it did take days to get that final definitive answer from the u.s. officials but some republicans don't necessarily buy it. here is how one top senator explained the situation. >> when it comes to russia, he's got a blind spot. and to forgive and forget when it comes to putin regarding

cyberattacks is to empower putin. that's exactly what he's doing. >> mr. trump also tweeted about his meeting with putin. we negotiated a cease-fire, he wrote, in parts of syria, which will save lives. now it's time to move forward and work constructively with russia, exclamation park. putin and i discussed forming an impen trabl cybersecurity un soit that election hacking and many other negative things will be guarded. >> i'm sure that vladimir putin could be of enormous assistance in that effort since he is doing the hacking. i mean, it's -- >> we might as well just mail our ballot boxes to moscow. i don't think that's an answer at all. >> the u.s. president himself is now backing away from that idea a short time ago. he tweeted that the fact that

putin and i discussed a cybersecurity unit doesn't mean i think can happen. it can't. but a cease-fire can and did. >> all right. let's get perspective on all of this. change u chance is live in the russian capital this hour with us. matthew, what can you tell bus this latest reporting from the "new york times" regarding donald trump jr? >> well, i mean, so far there's been no reaction to that. but i can tell you when there is reaction, we are expecting a call with the kremlin which is held daily with the reporters in russia. and we will put these issues to it as will others in the capital. i expect their reaction will be the same as it's been when they've been asked about the allegations of collusion and interference in the u.s. election if the past which is to categorically deny it. look, we have reached out to the lawyer involved. and we have been in contact with her but she refused to give us a a statement so far.

we are hoping that will change. we will have a bit more clarity. but in terms of what reaction is generally in the media amongst lawmakers here perhaps, this story hasn't filtered through to them yet. we expect it'll pick up traction throughout the course of the day. >> we also reported the fact that russia and the united states do due to the presidents propose the idea of working together on cybersecurity unit to focus on guarding against cyber threats. like meddling in elections of other countries. but now the u.s. president walking that back a bit on his latest tweet. reaction to that, there? this was major game, matthew, pr t from the presidents for the g20. >> right. loo, there a very successful from both the president's point of view and certainly from the russian point of view. very successful first face-to-face meeting. expectations on the russian side

were really low. because of the state of u.s. russia relations. saying at the state media here. and views of the kremlin say look we even get the chance to plan a second meeting with president trump. that will be regarded by the kremlin as success. they address core issues at the heart of the very difficult u.s./russian relationship. went of them was cybersecurity. you're right, president trump said they discussed forming this group, this unit, to what was it, impen trabl unit so hacking and other things will be safe. and look, just because we discussed it, doesn't mean it'll happen. in fact, it can't. he back tracked. the russian foreign minister said it is important that the united states and russia talk together, coordinate issues of

hacking in all its forms. of counter tris terrorism and o things like that, for organized crime. russians are keen with working with the united states. they emphasize areas of cooperation to perhaps distract from the areas where they are in conflict. >> matthew chance live for us in moscow. thank you for the report. >> litsd's talk more about what president is saying about russia. scott lucas joins me now via skype. he is founder and editor of ea world view. scott with be thanks for being with us. i know you were seeing those tweets and reading those tweets from president trump about his meetings with russia and now that he, you know, having to walk back that cybersecurity plan, it is still just seems he is just wanting to cheer on russia in some sense.

>> let's cut to the chase with two points and two questions. point one, donald trump was ready to ally with the the leader after country, russia, who ordered, reportedly, wide scale interference in the 2016 u.s. election. two, donald trump was ready to make that alliance while at the same time denouncing u.s. intelligence agencies saying they are unreliable, saying there is no firm evidence. and he said, no firm evidence, of russian interference in that election. now, the questions, one, does donald trump really consider vladimir putin to be more reliable than u.s. agencies? or in some way does trump fear that either he or one of his associates have been compromised by the russians. and two, what damage does it do to u.s. foreign policy to alliances that have been forged for more than 70 years with other countries and to the image of america in the eyes of the

world? >> right. because we know that during the summit, the united states was kind of sidelined. europe doesn't see the united states as a solid ally that it has before. and it seemed like all of the attention was on the putin/trump meeting but at the same time, president trump's protectionism for the united states put him in a very different place at the summit. >> i think that's a great point. for many people, over the weekend, the trump/putin meeting dominated the headlines. in some ways suck the oxygen out of the really big developments. let's call it the g19, discussing climb aate change, refugees, responding to crises such as islamic state, such as north korea. trump in his sense was sidelined because putin and declarations. the united states would pursue

protectionist trade policies and that priority would be russia say for for example nato or coordinated approach to migration. immigration question. and these refugees that many countries are confronting. so there's a very vivid shot where donald trump is sitting at a table. alone. no one around limb. and all the other leaders are discussing what is going on. i think that's prep accidentive. representative. >> yes. and wonder if it will come back it hurt the united states. the wish he wants it make america great. but being sidelined. whaen do you s and what do you see moving in from the void? i guess china would be one. >> china is trying to remove diplomatic relationships. i'm particularly interested in what european leaders do. they don't think they could set the unit aside.

it is too important despite donald trump. i think at the same type angela merkel of germ, macron of france, are looking at the fact europe can no longer wait for washington. they have to take the lead for climate change. sthe ha they have to take the lead on security. say brazil, closer to u.s., mexico, look for example and say south africa, or major country like indonesia, all of those countries are reassessing what they are doing. because the coalition of a u.s.-led world, that we have had since 1945, is crumbling is is something of the past. >> scott lucas, thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> the key city of mosul is liberated from isis. this after three years of militants there. what lies ahead to prevent future conflict. >> a fire at an iconic market near central london weeks after

a deadly fire. we will tell you what we know about what whhappened. at the po. they have businesses to run. they have passions to pursue. how do they avoid trips to the post office? stamps.com mail letters, ship packages, all the services of the post office right on your computer. get a 4 week trial, plus $100 in extras including postage and a digital scale. go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again.

iraq is declaring that the key city of mosul is liberated from isil. you see soldiers and civilians celebrating on the streets. >> they deserve it. they lost so many men. the fighting continued in small parts of western mosul. now of course the daunting task of how do you rebuild all of that right there. working the story for us live, the question for you is, where do they begin? they've been thinking how do we do this once ice ssis is out an bring mosul back together. >> that is what one would hope. it is unclear really if there is a proper post battle plan. you know, this victory is quite

significant for iraq right now and you are seeing people celebrating this. there's no doubt there is a b j major blow to isis but the tough task is still ahead. they need to make sure they are able to stabilize and secure mosul as well as other parts of the country that are recaptured from isis. they need to rebuild those areas that have been devastated. those predominantly sunni areas, that have seen some of the worst fighting over the past year or so. they need to rebuild those areas so people, hundreds of thousands who have did not displaced from their homes have something to go back to to try and rebuild their shattered lives. now perhaps the most daunting of all of the tasks ahead for iraqi government and especially for prime minister is to try and rebuild trust between the different component of iraq's community and to make sure that sunni population feels that things have changed.

that this is a new iraq. that their grievances will be addressed. same thing that led to the emergence of ices when it exploits those division fles iraq that needs to be a addressed. it is critical for iraq to work on a real and true national rock r reconciliation that hasn't happened in iraq since 2003. you are seeing, natalie, the end of isis in mosul. but that does not mean the end of isis in iraq. >> right, let's talk about that. where are the other pockets and how significant are they? >> well, if you look at northern iraq, there is still some towns, cities, under the control of isis. mosul is the most significant of recapturing and a major victory for them. it is iraq esecond large st cit.

you still have places closer to the syrian border but in the western anbar province there, isis still controls some territory. we have seen them in that part of the country launching quite frequently, targeting iraqi security forces in that part of the country. perhaps an indication of the capabilities they still possess. ability to carry out these sort of attacks. this is something that is raising concern amongst so many iraqis that while isis is losing ground, losing territory, it might be reverting back it groups as an insurgent group that may carry out attacks and is still fresh in the mind of iraqis especially in cities like the capital of baghdad that has seen some of the most devastating terrorist attacks over the past few years and that will remain a concern for so many people as isis is ush

pushed out more and more territory in iraq. natalie? >> hopefully the mosul deal will have them somewhat demoralized. hopefully. thank you so much. >> another overnight fire to tell but in london. firefighters are battling massive flames in camden market. this is their second major fire in weeks. >> another fire killed about 80 people. this isn't the only major fire at this market. >> emergency calls started coming in around midnight local time. this was visible around a wide area. images posted to social media show how dramatic it looks on the night time london skyline. the authorities responded with some force around 70 firefighters, 10 fire engines, battling the fire for hours before declaring it was out and

then working through the morning. there was no risk the fire could take hold once again. no reported injuries as a result of this fire. camden mark the is without doubt one of london's best known market areas. so very busy during the day. but at that time of the night, there would have been very few people around. the human cost here will be in the businesses and lively hoods affected as a result of the damage that has been caught. there was another large fire, bigger than this, this same area in 2008. it took many months for the businesses in this area to recover from the fire on that owe location. it is too early to know what cause of the fire was. phil black, krp, london. >> and good news, just no one injured but again big overnight fire. still ahead on newsroom, one of the u.s. president's most prominent campaign promises, to repeal an replace obamacare.

but john mccain says the republican health care bill probably won't make it. we'll explain why. >> your days of marching in protest end with rally against turkey's president. just ahead, what president erdogan was doing during the demonstration. >> and putting this broadcast on the air for our viewers in the united states and around the world. this is "cnn newsroom." show me winter in july.

epic battles. ferocious families. dangerous dragons. experience game of thrones and all the rest of hbo for free from july 10th through the 16th with xfinity on demand. from action, to comedy, to drama. this summer hbo and xfinity have you covered. and catch the game of thrones season 7 premiere on july 16th. winter is coming to xfinity. welcome back to our viewers here in the u.s. and around the world p.m. i'm natalie allen. >> i'm george howell. this hour, in iraq, officials declaring mosul has been liberated from isis after three

years from the militant's rule. the extremely group still holds other territory in that nation. now the task kwins begins of rebuilding. >> a cease-fire in southwestern syria brokered by the u.s., russia and jordan appears to be holding after going into effect. so far there are no reports of any serious violations. u.s. and russia say they will ensure all groups are complying with the agreement but have not said how they will monitor it. >> in the nag of vnation of venezuela, a celebration rally was told sunday in caracas. >> the "new york times" is reporting that donald trump jr, son of the u.s. president met with the russian lawyer after being promised damaging information on hillary clinton.

the times says president trump's son-in-law and senior adviser jared kushner and then campaign chairman, paul manafort, were all at the meeting. >> this took place two weeks after donald trump clefrmnched republican nomination. he said the statements by the woman at the meeting were vague, ambiguous and made no sense. >> reports of president donald trump is fashion fallout over his meeting with the russian president at the g20 summit. >> i don't think we know the legal significance of this. and that's what investigations are all about. we will have to wait and see. but this does have political significance. first of all, it's one more example of the double talk that

has come out of the trump team. so con continues to plague them and the presidency because they don't play straight with the facts. just yesterday donald trump jr put out a statement that basically said i met with this person because it was a meeting about a adoption of russian children. it said nothing about hillary clinton or the -- and today they are forced to come clean with a different statement. but you know, why didn't they tell us the truth it start with. and it happens again and again. the president coming out of his g20 meeting in europe. at first it looked like a successful meeting with putin. but now it is enveloped in controversy because we don't get the straight story about what was said and what the president believes. i think that fuels the political suspicious that is i lul nating the trump team again and again. and beyond that, i want it make the point, this is extremely

abnormal for a campaign to have as many contacts with any foreign nation but especially with the russians. this is not the way campaigns work. they are basically internal affairs. if somebody comes in and tells your campaign manager we have a someone that may have hot stuff on hillary, you're damn careful before you sit down with that person because you don't know what you're getting into. and you normally bring in the lower level and not the top guns of the campaign. >> so another issue that has nothing to do with russia on the president's plate is one of his signature campaign promises, repeal or replace obamacare, now on the line. >> members of his own party don't sound too optimistic. john mccain said the senate health care bill is likely dead. our tom foreman breaks down what's next. >> congressional republicans

have been waiting for years for their opportunity to overturn obamacare. and now with it sitting right in front of them, they just can't figure out how to get it done. from the republican controlled senate, stunning change of direction. majority leader mitch mccon al saying he will work with democrats to prop up obamacare if his own party can't pass an alternative plan. >> premiums are going up. co-payments are going up, deductibles are going up. we have to solve the current crisis. repealing and delaying the replacement doesn't work. >> tonight i'm also calling on this congress to repeal and replace obamacare. >> cnn has learned the white house has caught off guard by mcconnell's comments coming less than a week after the president's own surprise move. when he tweeted if republican senators are unable to pass what they are working on now, they should immediately repeal and

replace at a later date. but that gained no traction even as republican bill has continued spinning its wheels. some senators in their home districts for the july fourth recess face tough questions from constituents. >> i'm still in the no unless the bill is dramatically changed. >> so bipartisan support limited as it may be is swirling around mcconnell's idea. >> senator mcconnell is correct in that reneed to make sure that individual market is a stronger market than it is today. >> i believe what mitch mcconnell said is the right path to take. >> even amid furious push back. heritage action for america saying such a deal with democrats would be catastrophic for the republican party. and on it goes. with various republicans offering their own solutions about how to end the impasse, unite the party, and somehow turn the turmoil into triumph. >> i think we got to get the job

done but we got to do it right. results matter. it is not just passing a bill whose title is repeal obamacare. we actually have to do something that fixes the problem. >> watching the republicans turn them self into knots trying to figure out the riddle was a rule of holiday recess for traditional democrats. although it was less like independence day and more like christmas in july. >> tom foreman reporting. hundreds of thousands in turkey rallied against the president of that nation. they walked 250 miles or some 400 kilometersor 3 1/2 weeks. >> walking and protesting president erdogan's crack down after the coup last year. >> before heading it u to turke

tillerson met in ukraine. >> tillerson promised the u.s. won't lift sanctions against moscow until it returns control of crimea to kiev. >> it is necessary for russia to take the first steps to december escalate the situation in the east part of ukraine, in particular by respecting the cease-fire, by pulling back the heavy weapons and allowing the osc observers to carry out their responsibilities. >> u.s. secretary of state there rex tillerson. still ahead on newsroom, extreme weather conditions. the very latest on the heat and fires plaguing the u.s. state of california. >> also ahead, here for 20 years, j.k. rowling's been bringing magic to children everywhere. she sat down exclusively with our christiane amanpour to discuss how she is helping kids now. if you have medicare

the story we're following in the u.s. state of ohio. one woman is dead after a shooting at a gender reveal party. police say that eight people, including young children, they suffered nonlife threatening injuries. >> they were all at a home near cincinnati it learn the gender after pregnant woman's expected child. one of those fun parties that everyone is doing now. when all of a sudden the suspects came in. they ran away after a few minutes of gunfire. police aren't saying who they fatally shot. don't know if it was the pregnant woman. they say there is still much they don't know at this point. about what caused it. >> i would like nothing more than in my position to stand up here and tell the kpcommunity ty have nothing to worry about but i won't make statements in order just to make people feel better. we don't know who did this or or

why. >> residents of british columbia has been forced to evacuate due to wildfires. 224 acres are under wildfire are a under an active state of emergency. the whittier fire burned more than 3100 hectors, that's more than 7600 acres in isn'tsanta ba county. at least 2,000 people there have been evacuated. >> an even bigger fire, the alamo fire destroyed 25,000 acres and is only 10% contained. california's governor now declared a state of emergency in the northern part of the state because of the wall fire. it started friday and leaped to more than half its present size by sunday morning. 4,000 people have been forced from their homes and dogs as well. >> in the thick of it, guys. >> yes, we are are.

>> all that rain, all that flooding from the sierra nevada snow. >> very quickly changed for the worse. this is fire weather season. when we look at what is happening outside california, in some spots after seeing run every other day in january and february, they have not seen rain for two months. you can imagine it just shut off. across much of the western united states, gusty winds don't help. when you want rain fall, you can't have just a little. half an inch is enough to stop the spread. you look up to two inches is what you need to extinguish a flame. that is not in the forecast. tell that to this weather map condition here with 50 large active wildfires across the western half of the united states. all confined west of say montana

down towards wyoming and state of california. natalie is a fan of climate science. you look at the large wildfires in 1980s and compare to 1990s, this is average per year. and you work in 2012, latest numbers with we have, shows you with the spike there in how many wildfires we typically see, considered large across the united states. elevated risk in place and 90% are human induced. the 20% is due to lightning trike and 10% is wildfires. just that 10% alone need lightning strikes themselves. consuming about nine times the amount of land when ignited by lightning versus ignited by humans. the erratic controlled nation of lightning strikes makes it difficult to contain and we have gusty wind associated with them and thunder storms at this hour

south of flagstaff approaching phoen phoenix metro area which has been rained for over two months across phoenix. fresno, tucson, cedar city, going on 50 to 60 days since last seen rain fall. as i said at the beginning of this weather segment, some areas saw descent rain fall in the middle of the year and so the dry season really means the dry season even in a wet year. >> all right. thank you. >> thank you. >> children have been under the spell of j.k. rowling harry potter series for 20 years now. now she is using her success to help kids in another way. >> yes. she is spining a spotlight on child institutionalization if her charity, lumis. she sat down with christiane amanpour with this. >> our goal is to end childhood

institutionalization by 2050. >> all over the world? >> all over the world. global. >> how many kids are we talking about? >> we estimate 8 mill bion but that might be a low guess. we know 1 million disappear every year. >> why lumas? >> it is a spell in harry potter. >> so harry potter was an orphan. so it is obvious you're doing it, isn't it? >> not obvious at first. to be candid, my personal worst fear, is powerlessness and small spaces. i think just the idea that these children were being kept, penned like this, was horrific to me. although i didn't think that is like harry and his cupboard, i suppose, why did i put harry in the cupboard because this is my fear of being trapped and just pow powerless to get out of that
