i just treat them like human beings. >> people go do the indian accent. you can't. you have to physically become the indian accent. like, i'm talking to you like this, but if i had to change, suddenly my body has changed. my hands, eyes, everything is different. >> we have to morph. and that's really what it's about. you know? donald trump's approval rating hits a new low as questions continue to mount about his campaign's dealings with russia. plus -- >> don't kid yourself. they saw the videos, girls, mothers. some married into isis who knew what they were about, but still came. now jailed in a refugee camp, stuck in limbo, as isis collapses, trying to go home. >> telling us the story of women looking for love, now in detention. isis brides in their own words as the terror group begins to fall in key areas they occupy.

>> she is often seen in public, but rarely heard. prince charles's wife, camilla, speaks to cnn just ahead of her 70th birthday. >> welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm george howell. >> i'm rosemary church. this is "cnn newsroom." it starts right now. u.s. president trump reaches a big milestone this week marking six months in office. >> but allegations of russian meddling in last year's election continue to overshadow his administration. take a look at this new washington post abc news poll. if you listen to this, majority of americans say they believe that russia tried to inflew enthe race the president's popularis also plummeted in that poll. he has the worst approval of any u.s. president in about 70 years. 42% of americans did approve of

the job. that is now at 36%. his disapproval rating, 58%. >> president trump defend himself saying it is not that bad. he also defended his son's meeting with a russian lawyer. saying hillary clinton can illegally get debate question answers leak 33,000 e-mails but his son is scorned by the fake news media. the president's attorney said sunday there was nothing illegal about donald trump jr.'s meeting with the russian lawyer. and he suggested the secret service vetted it. >> everybody that's looking backwards and saying, whatta shoulda coulda and donald trump said he would have done things differently. but to go back a year later and say this is what should have happened when the meeting was 20 minutes and a series of meetings that took place for day answers day answers months, i don't think that's fair to donald

trump jr., to jared kushner or manafort for that matter, because no one was in a situation of that kind of campaigning in the middle after presidential election. there's a lot of meetings and a lot of discussions about opposition research on all sides. republicaning with democratic and eindependent. >> you said no law was broken. but do you take what the president said about the fbi whaen should have happened there. a situation where you have representatives after foreign government offering assistance to in an election that what should have happened is that fbi should have been notified? >> i wonder why the secret service, if this was nefarious, why did the secret service let the people in? the president had security at the time. >> the secret service pushed back saying the agency would not have screened the people at that meeting, that's because it was not protecting mr. trump's son at that time. >> president trump's attorney

defends the russian lawyer meeting a majority of americans polled saying it was inappropriate. >> now top republican as well as top democratic lawmakers want answers. cnn has this report for us. >> reporter: we are hearing reaction from the american people for the first time since the story broke about a meeting between donald trump jr. and a pair of russian, one a lobbyist and another tern attorney. promising information about hillary clinton from the russian government. the abc poll shows 63% disapprove of the meeting saying it was inappropriate to have that meeting last june. this is not going to go away soon. you just mentioned the president's historically low approval rating. as we learn more details about this russia investigation it is likely to continue to hamper the administration. we haven't heard the end-russia

story yet. just today two senators on both sides of the aisle were on state of the union with jake tapper saying they want donald trump jr. before the senate intelligence committee to testify under oath about what happened in that meeting and why he took it in the first place. listen. >> i would like to hear from all of these individuals whether we will be able to get the russian nationals to come over and testify is an open question. but those people that our committee has jurisdiction over, the americans, i sure as heck want to talk to all of them. >> we need to get to the bottom of this. but loonly way we will do it iso talk to donald trump jr., and i give credit, but to everyone at that meeting and involved in setting up that meeting. that may be difficult in the case of the russian nationals but we certainly ought to try. we should also ask for all documents, and not just e-mails that have been released, but all

of the documents that are related to any context that the president trump's campaign had with the russian government or its them sayrerys. >> as perhaps some of the others in that meeting, it is not exactly clear, both senators say that there are still many documents to gather beforehand, that they can host these three individuals in front of the senate intelligence committee. for his part, the president is spending the rest of the weekend here in new jersey before heading back to washington, d.c. tonight. still with this cloud of the russian investigation hanging over the white house. >> joining me now to talk more about this is cnn political commentator and conservative ben furgason. thanks so much for being with us. >> good to be with you. >> i do want it start with the secret service pushing back on president trump's lawyer said, on why he allowed donald trump jr. to meet with a russian

lawyer, russian lobbyist and of course the top members of the trump campaign last summer. if there was anything nefarious, he said, in that meeting, surely they would have picked it up. but it turns out that jum trump junior didn't have secret service protection at that particular time. he wasn't in their charge. what's your reaction to that? >> i think the point that he was trying to make is that if this meeting was such a bad idea then why didn't someone flag it? for example, why did the lawyer get clearance that actually came under the obama administration to have a visa wavered or patrol wavered to get into the country after being denied the first time. obviously we found out from the secret service that the only person under protection at that point in the campaign was actually donald trump. not his son. but they did say that anyone that came into the meeting or into the building to meet with them did go through metal deo t

detectors and make sure they didn't have weapons on them. i get the point they are trying to make. maybe check to see if the secret service did look at meetings. but the whole campaign was heavily guarded. i don't think it was any malice or trying to misrepresent or unfair intent with that answer. >> all right. i do want to, you know, talk to you about why donald trump jr.'s account of the 2016 meeting keeps changing. >> yeah. >> because that's confusing, isn't it? why not reveal everything? and then you don't start having these sorts of problems. >> look, i've always said this. it is really hard, if you've ever worked on a campaign. i have worked on presidential campaigns. there's a lot of people that i've met with that i don't remember. when you -- after you win the nomination, you are that high up in the campaign structure, as he was, there's a lot of details you will forget because your days are 13, 14, 5, 16, 17-hour days. you are meeting with people you have never met or heard of

before or knew existed before because you are new to politics and you won the nomination. i think hindsight is 20/20. donald trump j donald trump j neer needs to si down with people who can jog his memory and move forward. a lot of people -- look, campaigns are hectic and exhausting. there are reasons that candidates have a body man that look at him and say you're in erie, pennsylvania or paducah, kentucky because you don't know where you are many days. that's part of the fog of a campaign and exhaustion of a campaign. >> all right. do want to move to the president's approval rating now. appears it dropped as low as 36%. according to the abc and washington post poll. which has to be said, is a reliable poll. even though the president said it isn't. he is trying to give it a ps spin. rounding up to 40%. that's an great approval rating at this juncture, is it?

>> no, it's not. but i also think there has been so much press that's been on this russian topic month after month after month. the press they is have receive owed not an issue like this, to be above 40%, i'm not concerned about it. if i was around the president, the white house as one of his senior advisers, i wouldn't pay allot of attention to it right now. you have several -- over year, even to mid term election answers you have what, three years basically until you run for reelection. get some things on the board, obamacare repeal replace is a good plate to start. i think this will be a nonissue four, five months from now. >> you mentioned the health bill issue. this so problem for administration. >> yeah, but this pause or deferment for another week has nothing to do with the bill and

everything to do with the fact that you will always have a very close and tight vote. republicans have a very slim margin in the senate. some republicans like susan collins, flip a coin if they are on your team or not, when you go to any vote. >> they've had seven years. they've had seven years to come up with an alternative. >> those that ran for election ran on repealing obamacare. it has been a complicated thing to undo. it has been a around for a very long time. you have disagreements on things. i think after john mccain comes back, he had an emergency surgery. they postpone until he comes back. i believe, based on people i talked to on capitol hill, they will have the votes to get this thing done. >> how can you be sure of that? numbers don't look great at this point. >> look, everyone will say the numbers don't look great. they never look great when have you a slim majority. they are tight. you can only lose a couple of people. but the same was to be said in

the house side as well. and they got it kun. republican senators realize they were sent to washington to repeal and replace obamacare. if they don't, it'll be hard for them to come back to their constituents and say send me back to washington again because i did what i said i would dot first time. it is a tight vote. i think this time they realize after pausing the first time that they are going to, you know, get it done. and i think they will. >> ben furgason, always good to talk with you. thanks for your perspective on this. appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> with clouds of the russian investigation swirling above them, it is still a critical week for the white house and future of the new health care bill in the u.s. that revised republican plan is running into a series of unexpected delays. mitch mcconnell pushed back a vote on the bill scheduled for this week. so that senator john mccain can recover from surgery from a blood clot. the delay will also give

mcconnell extra time to find the needed votes to pass that plan. >> cnn has also learned the congressional budget office will not release a much-anticipated score on the bill monday. it is now unclear when the cbo score will be released. republican lawmakers show how deep the divisions are over this new bill. >> this bill actually, i think, has gotten much better as a result of the discussions we've had amongst ourselves. there are other choices rather than obamacare. >> there are 8 to 10 republican senators who have serious concerns about this bill. so at end of the day, i don't know whether we will pass. >> we promised voters for four elections. they elected us to repeal obamacare and now we will keep most taxes, keeb regs, keep subsidy answers create a giant

bailout superfund for insurance companies. i just don't see it. >> 50 of 52 republican senators would need to vote yes for any senate health care bill to pass. >> and iran sentenced an american citizen to ten years in prison. the graduate student was con victimed of spying under the cover of research. u.s. state department accused teheran of making up charges to detain americans. >> this comes as the deadline looms for the trump administration to recertify the iran nuclear deal. on monday, u.s. officials meet to tell congress whether iran is complying with the agreement and whether the country should continue to get relief from sanctions. >> on to venezuela now. opposition there is claiming victory and a symbolic and unofficial referendum on that nation's president. >> opposition leaders say about 9 wil 98% of those who voted rejected the plans to rewrite the

constitution. earlier we spoke with journalist from caracas. >> venezuelans voted today. 6.5 million inside venezuela and about 700,000 venezuelans abroad. that's a huge turnout for opposition who is claiming victory in these nonbinding referendum against the proposals for a constitution of president maduro. so part day has gone on quite peacefully and quietly. of the seats have been able to record the votes in a rather way and in a small incident, one person was killed by clashes between two different main parties. government and opposition. but again, after more than three

months of social unrest and more than 90 people who have been here so far in venezuela, people are still taking the streets and today we have learned that about. .2 milli . /* 7.2 million of them were able to vote for a new constitution by nicholas modura. >> that report from stefa stefano pozzebon. thank you. and banning the former president of mexico, vicente fox, from ever coming back to venezuela. fox and other presidents from latin-america were there supporting that referendum. this is "cnn newsroom." ahead, we hear from some of the isis wives of raqqa. why they say they married members of the terror group, ahead. plus -- >> i think we can talk, it wasn't the subject. and i think we can talk, or i can talk about it, and bang the

camilla is the friendliest member of the royal family, if you speak to the members of the press pack that follow her. noticing this photo, she hit the dance floor with one of the photographers. >> i was so delighted to meet her. and i thought, what a gentle delightful woman she is, actually. >> thank you very much to my dance partners. i wasn't expecting it. i would have put on my dancing shoes, had i known. >> then we're off to a very different engagement. >> they had no idea -- >> a shelter for victims of domestic violence. >> just over two years now since my two sons were taken by the father with the fire and barricaded them in. all i could do was hold them as they died and it is every

i went to visit another charity, save lives, where again i sat around listening to some very brave ladies tell their stories. and i think everybody there was mov moved to tears. i thought as i came out, i thought, you know, i just wish there was something i could do to help. >> and able to coordinate groups, bring publicity? >> that's what i've tried do is to bring everybody together to coordinate and to get them talking so they come up with the ideas. we could talk, it wasn't a subject and we can talk about it now, i can talk about it and bang the drum a bit. so can other people. that's what i'm trying to do. but again, it seems wonderful people that do the hard work and my goodness me, these are an incredible lot of ladies.

you heard the ladies talking today telling their stories. have you to be very brave to stand up and tell and talk about all those terrible things that have happened to you. i can only hope that some day we can make it better. >> thank you for speaking. >> thank you. >> this, we think, is the longest she has ever spoken on camera. it is an issue she cares deeply about. we've been allowed into the convey and we are head together duchess's engagement in a matter of hours. she's visiting a row of independent shops. a bite of chocolate, quite possibly not that easy to enjoy in front of cameras. and brush with public. visit unannounced for security reasons and came as quite a surprise. >> ladies were like, oh, she is coming. and she was in the charity shop.

wow, she is amazing. she is one-of-a-kind. really, really good. >> there's no doubt the british public has warmed to camilla in the 12 years since she's been married to prince charles. each engagement bringing her closer to the public and connecting her with them. this day is not done just yet though. she is off to london for another engagement. max foster, cnn, bristol, england. >> royal commentator, richard fits williams, joins us now to talk more about this. richard, good to talk with you as always. as we saw in camilla's exclusive chat there with cnn's max foster, she is now loved and adored by the british public. but that wasn't always the case. she took the place of the much beloved princess diana and during the course of her 12-year marriage to prince charles worked hard to gain public support. what do you think turned it around for her? >> i think we have just seen a very insightful interview by max

and that's given viewers an idea of precisely what has turned it around. a certain amount of humor, experience, dedication and the fact that she's got a great deal of charm. she perseveres. there are certain causes she has taken up. you mentioned the troubled background of course which the whole world knows about. the facts are that within 12 years she has taken up the cause of osteoporosis which is very close to her heart. but issues such as rape and domestic violence. these are tough issues, as she was saying. and she has managed to help people. she goes about her duties. and she does over 200 royal engagements each year, and she does it in way that seems to endeer her to both journalists covering the various

engagements, but also to people as a whole. it isn't just that they've grown accustom to her face, it's that they realize she's made the prince of wales extremely happy in dark periods of his life. and also she is a benefit to the royal family as a whole. >> and richard, the release of the new double portrait, of the prince of wales and duchess of cornwall marks camilla's 70th birthday. some historians an media outlets around the world said it might be time to consider calling her princess of wales. when would she be given princess diane yeah title and does she want it? >> i suspect she doesn't want it. we commemorate 20 years since tragic death of princess of wales, diana's legacy, is unique to her. the whole point of so much of what the duchess of cornwall has

done. not been in any sense whatsoever to rival the princess of wales, diana's legacy is her own. if she built up, i suspect, a very, very strong bank of affection amongst the public, the fact are that today her 70th birthday, we have seen that portrait, he is a great flatterer. but there is a great deal to flatter. and what is also significant is several of the analysis of the duchess, they show how at different times during the nightmare, his marriage to diana and the period when she died so tragically. camilla has been nonnegotiable, which is the prince of wales's phrase, but her strength in stay to use another well worn phrase. she has been indispensable to him. but she made him happy.

she also got a wonderful chemistry with the prince. she does dislike flying. she dislikes heat and so forth. things are arranged so she is able to speak when many are winding down. she is doing the reverse and helping a great deal of people. she wouldn't want to be called princess of wales. one day she is called when the prince of wales ascends the thrown, the official line is princess consort, most believe she will be queen consort. >> that is the key, isn't it? richard fitzwilliams, thank you so much. >> now from royalty to time lords. that's right. next dr. who is a woman. actress jody wlit ker hitaker i history by becoming the first woman to become the time-traveling dr. who. bbc made the highly-anticipated announcement following the

. welcome back to "cnn newsroom." al jazeera news network is at the center of a diplomatic crisis. it's qatar and its neighboring gulf nations. >> demanding qatar shut down the

network. >> from airing the first interview with osama bin laden after 9/11 -- to introducing heated political debate showes to the arab world. al jazeera network has become a force. at its new multimillion dollar headquarters, it might seem like business as usual. but the qatar-funded news network is at the heart of the gulf and the flock demanding its closure. with the network for 20 years, for the past three he has run the arabic news channel. he believes al jazeera changed the landscape of a region once dominated by state-run tv channels. critics accusing them of being

hate speech and sectarian excitement. >> one of al jazeera's qualities is that it expressed the alternative opinion. before al jazeera it was only the opinion of governments. they do not want the other opinion. whatever that opposition is. >> it was the network's coverage of the 2011 arab spring that made it a thorn in the side. it was seen as more sympathetic to the views of the brotherhood in places like egypt, now banned in several arab states. >> this is certain pli a platform for qatar's political allies. the brotherhood is one such ally and muslim brotherhood seen in particular as the country's big political enemy. >> rejecting the criticism, he says they treat the muslim brotherhood like any other political entity in the arab world.

>> translator: it was believed that al jazeera because of its coverage of the arab spring and tunisia, libya, by what happened in broadcasting, it encouraged people to evolve. did al jazeera create the arab spring or document it? this is a question or history. >> he says the demand it shut down al jazeera is quote out of the question. the call to shutter the network does not distinguish between its various services. including al jazeera english which analysts say is a different channel more focused on global affairs. no one knows how this crisis will end but many feel that demands to silence immediate media organization set a dangerous precedent in a region where freedom of the press is still heavily restricted. cnn, doha. >> we will take a very short break here. still to come, flooding in the u.s. state of arizona.
