on this entire nation and has to be affirmed. ♪ reince priebus is out, white house chief of staff gets bounced from the trump administration. readying his bill. president trump will sign a bill that puts new sanctions on russia. also ahead this hour -- >> pyongyang's threat, north korea says its latest missile can strike the u.s. coast mainland. 5:00 a.m. welcoming all the viewers here and around the world. i'm george howell.

here in atlanta. and i'm hanna vaughan jones here in london. thanks for joining us. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. we begin this hour with a big shake-up ♪ white house that caps a tumultuous week for the trump administration. donald trump has a new chief of staff. he tabs general john kelly to take over the job that means, that reince priebus is out after 190 days in the west wing. one of the shortest tenures ever for that position. cnn's jeff zeleny is at the white house with more. >> reporter: president trump making one of the biggest shake-ups of this administration so far, six months in. announcing a new chief of staff. accepting the resignation of chief of staff reince priebus and said he will name general john kelly, he will start as the new chief of staff here at the white house.

it is a sign that the president is he needs a new direction going forward. a new leadership going forward. this comes at the end of a tumultuous week, a week after the new communications director anthony scaramucci was appointed had a very public and remarkably vulgar sfud with rinse preeb burkes the chief of staff. all of that coming to an end. reince priebus saying he's going to resign but knows that the president needs a new direction but now appointing general john kelly chief of staff gives many advisers and supporters of the president hopes is a new direction, new discipline on the white house as it tries to move its agenda forward. this week saw a collapse of the republican health care bill. it saw a public feud with the attorney general. it saw a rift with the decision about essentially banning transgender service members from serving in the military. so, this is a moment for a reset for this president. general john kelly, a four-star

general who has a decorated service record, he starts here on monday. reince priebus will start taking a vacation. jeff zeleny, cnn, the white house. >> jeff, thanks for the reporting priebus gave his first interview to my colleague wolf blitzer. wolf asked priebus to respond about ugly comments made about him, some comments that i can't even say on television made by incoming communications director anthony scaramucci. >> what was the impact of the new communications director anthony scaramucci, you saw the "new yorker magazine"ly called you a paranoid schizophrenic, he said that reince priebus would resign soon and he expected priebus to launch a campaign

against him. what was your reaction when you saw that? >> no reaction, because i'm not going to respond to it. i'm not going to get into the mud on all sorts of things. look, the president and i had an understand, we talked about this many times and we ultimately decided that yesterday was a good day. and that we would work together. and i think that general kelly is a great pick. so, i'm not going to get into the weeds on that. i support what the president did. and obviously, i think it's a good thing for the white house. >> priebus was noticeably absent from the white house photo this friday. that photo shows the president on the phone in the white house treaty room. a number of senior advisers were also present there including national security adviser h.r. mcmaster. normally, priebus would have been near there as well. with us to talk more about these developments is the professor of international politics in the city of london. good to have you this hour in

our london bureau. the "new york post" chaired what we're seeing. so many people leaving the white house impaired it to a reality show. i want to you get a look at this, you get a sense of "survivor," that's the comparison being made. but let's take a look at specifically what has been the revolving door of this white house. people who were either hired and then fired. or hired and resigned. there's an image we have here to show our viewers how many people have come and gone from our white house. you get a sense of what's happened. what will the latest departure mean for president trump and his administration? >> well, if just suggests that the character of theed administration is becoming better and better known. and it appears to be that president trump is continuing to govern much in the way his election campaign was run. that is to say, it jumps from one crisis to another. it leads to sackings of key individuals.

the appointment of new individuals. but as we know, in the campaign, it actually worked, he won the election. and i wonder whether or not president trump has fully comprehended the distinction between running a campaign for office and actually governing itself. and it seems to be that he is the central individual, the central person in the entire administration, and he decides when anybody cummings and goes. and he appears to be building up something along the line of a personality cult, and i think he demands personal loyalty from everyone that is appointed and works around him. and i'm afraid that the issue is, that many of the people that he's appointed actually have very successful careers in other areas of life, and they're not used to being treated in that kind of way. they're actually sworn to uphold the constitution and the bill of rights and not all necessarily personality loyalty to a particular individual. >> history is always the judge,

inde inderjeet. let's take a look at a defense that clearly has holes in it. let's look. >> the collusion story is a joke. i don't think -- i honestly don't believe there's a lot of people out there that actually believe that campaign people are sitting on telephones and having meetings and passing secret messages trying to figure out how to mess around with the election. it's ridiculous. but yet, if you look at headlines, over the last six months, you would think that that's the only thing happening in the world. >> history is a very precise judge here. so, these officials who take on this role to defend the president, be he right or wrong, only later to have their credibility damaged there and then to be shown the door. what does it say about the president's ability to recruit for these important positions? >> i think it's going to be more

and more difficult to recruit people of integrity into an office. one of the key issues is, when you have people in office in the federal executive, such as, you know, sort of chief of staff of the white house or whatever, the key issue is, those people have very strong ideas about how things ought to be. but president trump basically undermines without consultation, and he carries out policy. so, general mattis was probably not consulted. even ivanka trump was undermined in the paris climate accord. so, what we have is an individual who basically is running a personal government. and i think that is a very dangerous thing, because, if you like, what does this say about the american political system, to those who are not involved within it. those who are actually at the receiving end of it. that is the domestic population

and electorate and the rest of the world. and the standing of the united states government, both at home and abroad is very, very low. and it's probably at the lowest point for many decades. and i think president trump is largely responsible for that. his style is not suited to governing. he has actually no legislative accomplishments after six months to his name. pretty much everything he's touched is collapsing around him. and the different groups that are around his administration, some of them are actually quite pleased. i think mike pence will be smiling. i think he's done very well. i think wall street or parts of it are doing quite well. the deregulation of big corporations the fact that you've violated labor or regulations, i think they're doing quite well. but i think as far as the electorate are concerned they're getting a psychological weight that's nationally based and think there's a strong white man in the white house and we're doing very well and he's sucking

into the establishment but actually i think when they count the pounds and pence in their pockets from the friends they have that's not going to matter very much. that's going to undermine. >> with john kelly in the spot, given his military background, do you expect him to bring a new level of stablgt to the white house? >> it's very difficult to say that because there are many people with military backgrounds which are close and appointed to this white house. general mattis, you look to find a sterling military record, well, there you have it. general mcmaster, a person who criticize the joint chiefs of staffs about the way they ran the vietnam war. he's been undermined and sidelined. he wasn't even involved at the meeting at the g20 that president trump had. i don't think anybody stands a

chance in which the way president trump runs the white house. he demands personal limit. he doesn't have any respect for rule of law. he doesn't think the rule of law applies to his presidency or himself. i think that's one of the problems he has with rocket mueller, the special council. they're investigating his behavior, his finances, his possible other irregularities, that is getting very close. that's partly why the reason why attorney general jeff sessions has been so deeply undermined this week. he wants him to resign. i don't think sessions is going to go without being sacked. that's going to deepen the crisis even more. one wonders how deep this crisis will get before the republican party in the senate actually does something serious. and actually repudiates this president and says that he does not stand for the united states or the republican party or republicans in general, let alone the democratic party and what it stands for. >> live in london, thank you for

the insight. >> thank you very much. well, away from u.s. domestic policy and on to foreign policy now, president trump plans to sign a bill that slaps new sanctions on russia. the white house says mr. trump negotiated parts of the document and he approves the final version, although it's not clear when he will put his signature to it. congress have overwhelmingly adopted the bill which also limits donald trump's ability to ease penalties by moscow itself. earlier on friday, russia ghands the united states cut the number of diplomats it has in moscow and seized u.s. property in the russian capital. the ambassador protested the russian news. let's go live to fred sebastian in washington. there have been so many talks about improved relations between moscow and washington. this is the final nail at in the coffin, at least publicly?

>> well, hannah, the russian prime minister stands to lateralize relations. don't forget, one of the reasons we saw so much support in russia for that candidate and then president trump was that he made so many comments during the campaign about the potential lifting or reacting to sanctions. now, we've seen the complete reversal of those hopes. it's not just of the fact of new sanctions, but the fact that this new bill essentially ties the president's hand and makes it extremely difficult to lift old sanctions. that's why i think we saw russia acting before the president has actually signed the bill. it's seven months before we took a step like this. don't dpor goat, the obama add strar approved such a notion. expelling diplomats. seven months on, russia finally

ran out of patience. the kremlin said whatever changes the president was to make to the bill, it wouldn't change the sense of the matter. but i think it still has to be noted, hannah, they are not laying this on russia itself. they're talk about russiaophobic forces in the white house. but they are not rolling back interests that could affect american interests. >> you touched on it a little bit, but i wonder how harsh the quick response from the kremlin has actually been, the seizure of property and cutting of diplomats. is that a particularly new kind of response from the kremlin? >> well, they say, no, they say this is perfectly adequate response. this is a mirror response to what the u.s. did back in december. and that no one should interpret this as harsh or severe. but as i said, they're not ruling out further measures in the future. and these could be something of

an unknown, in the past, when russia has retaliated against sanctions either from the u.s. or from the eu, it hasn't always been in this kind of mirror form. you know, we'll expel the same number of zmro mats that you expelled. they've done what they called an asymmetrical retaliation, you remember in 2012, after the magnitsky act, russians two weeks later banned american adoptions of russian children. so, you see the retaliation is not always in an expected form. we know what form they would take if they do this in retaliation this time. but certainly in the past, we have seen measures taken that were not especially expected. >> clare sebastian, thank you. still ahead in the "newsroom," the latest on korea's missile test. we'll have the latest from china

and japan. protect business, from the largest financial markets to the smallest transactions, by sensing cyber-attacks in near real time and automatically deploying countermeasures. keeping the world of business connected and protected. that's the power of and. ykeep you sidelined.ng that's why you drink ensure.

north korea claims it is making good on its threat to build a missile that can strike the united states. it says this missile tested on friday can hilt the whole u.s. mainland and should be considered a grave warning it's the u.s. confirmed it was indeed a intercontinental ballistic missile, the second ever launch by pyongyang. just hours later, the u.s.

staged a show of force with south korea. u.s. president of the united states donald trump also center a message to pyongyang saying, quote, by threating the world these weapons and tests further isolate north korea, weaken its economy, and deprive its people. the united states will take all the necessary steps to ensure the security of the homeland and protect our region. let's get to tokyo monitoring developments and will ripley live in beijing for us. will, there's a huge amount of pressure for now, for beijing to do anything, to try to restrain north korea. you know north korea well, you've spent a lot of time there. what would it take to change kim's course? >> well, there's been a lot of pressure on beijing for the last 20 years. certainly, since the first nuclear test in the mid-2000s to try to solve the north korea irk and it hasn't worked.

there have been five nuclear tests and dozens the missile tests under kim jong-un, 84 if our counts are accurate. compared to 15 and 16 for his father and grandmothefather respective live. sanctions haven't worked doing trade with china and to a large extent russia. and what china would have to do to cripple the north korean regime if that would even work and north koreans told me as recently as last month it wouldn't, but china would have to stop all of the flow of oil on the pipeline, and take sanctions so severe it would have a destabilizing effect on the country. a country, by the way, has gone through famine and has kept its grip on power. what china is saying while they do condemn north korea's actions i think the united states and japan claire the blame here.

bringing in components of the thaad competence system. there was that live fire drill conducted by south korea and the u.s. all of those, china considers provocative destabilizing behavior. so, they apparently seem unwilling to take any further measures. they continue to trade billions of dollars continue to flow into pyongyang from right here in china. and at this point, there just doesn't seem to be a clear solution. >> okay. let's find out about another regional state now. carrie in tokyo for us. this splashed down near japan. there are concerns that recent overtures from the likes of south korea to north korea, with some sort of dialogue, that that has fallen on deaf ears and that japan particularly needs to boost its own defenses? >> well, hannah, i think people are a lot more startled with the latest incident involves the missile launches than they have

in the past. they've gone through missile actions and threats in between. primarily, the japanese people woke up to the news while they were sleeping and landed off the host of the northern island of hokkaido. and the fact that the missile was launched on the day the japan prime minister resigned due to a scandal. and there's only interim defense minister at hat. he's wear two hats now, he's also the foreign minister. he was commoned to the prime minister's residence in the middle of the night, the prime minister shinzo abe saying there's no alternative but to increase the pressure because of what he calls this new level of threat. here's what he had to say. >> translator: as long as north korea continues these protect vocations, the u.s., south korea, china and the whole international community must

closely kwoop acooperate and ap pressure. >> people i speak to today say they're a lot more concerned today than they have been in the past particularly because the political situation is in flux. and the prime minister is getting ready to reshuffle his cabinets. so for the next couple of days there will be no permanent defense minister on deck. so i think there's going to be a lot more scrutiny on the prime minister as to whether or not he can put on a competent set of hands to manage the situation at this very precarious time. just to give you a sense of the mood here, there's a civic portal site, a website, that over the last couple of months has detailed fairly detailed steps of what a citizen should do in the case of an attack. for example, get in a strong building, cover your mouth, so on, so forth. at the start of this year, around march, there were only 450,000 hits on that per month.

but lately, 450,000 people have been accessing that site per day. although people are calm here in japan, they're growing increasingly wary and watching who the prime minister picks as his permanent defense minister in tokyo. >> my thanks to you both. we'll talk more about this with jasper kim, the director for the center for conflict management at ul university. and also in south korea. it's good to have you this hour. to, this latest video, i want to start with that, showcasing this missile launched. it's highly produced, it's quickly turned around. what do you make of what you see? >> well, i think it's something completely different, george. it's a new normal, specifically a new nuclear normal with northeast asia and the korean

peninsula. we haven't seen north korea be so transparent and releasing all of these images plus the state-run announcement. and with these images, what's interesting is it not only projects success, it also shows images of failure. and what i think it's trying to project is an say are of song then thisty. people might say it's korean propaganda but it's time to dispel that notion and add a little legitimacy to the regime. >> taking a closer look at that missile. we're looking at the nation's leader as he oversaw the launch. but, again, russia saying this is not an intercontinental ballistic missile, the united states saying otherwise. do you see this missile understanding the technological advances that north koreans have made so far -- what do you take from it? >> well, what i take away is not just one data minutpoint. i think what should be concerned with the arc, the protection of

these successes and failures. think of it as silicon valley. what its mission is, its product, if you will is an icbm. and nuclear technology to put everyone on alert. and that's exactly what it's done. what technology occurs today or tomorrow, i think the issue is clear, it's going to happen sooner than later. and i think the question then is, not if north korea has nuclear weapon technology that can hit the u.s. but assume it does, now what? >> united states making it clear that military options are on the table, certainly, but diplomatic efforts are at the forefront of the efforts at this point. sanctions, the sanctions matter, at this point. because what we see there is a nation continues to develop, despite the fact that these sanctions have existed for many years now. >> well, george, one could argue that, in fact, sanctions might even propel more missile launches. more missile tests. it just gives more legitimacy

among kim jong-un's people that it is a country that has been persecuted by the international community. now, we know that's not true but dprk can spin that as such. and something that i've argued for months, i wrote it in the forbes op-ed, we really need direct diplomacy with the highest levels of the dprk. obviously sanctions aren't going to work. we've done rounds and rounds of that and the alternative is outright war but what will we want to do is talk but for some reason that's been absent. >> jasper kim in seoul, korea via skype. thank you for the time here. still ahead here on "cnn newsroom" -- it wasn't only republicans who voted for donald trump in november's election. some democrats did as well. cnn speaks to a family in ohio who cast their ballots in ohio

no. alright, see you down there. mmm, fine. okay, what do we got? okay, watch this. do the thing we talked about. what do we say? it's going to be great. watch. remember what we were just saying?

press secretary just last week. >> the white house said president trump intends to sign a russia sanctions bill. and it would limit the president's ability to ease those sanctions independently. and the white house said the white house drafted the bill, negotiated elements of the bill and approved the fine version, according to the white house. meanwhile, president trump is condemning the latest missile launch from north korea. the u.s. says it was the second intercontinental ballistic missile pyongyang had tested this month. south korea believes this missile was more advanced than the previous one. well in response, the u.s. and south korea conducted a military exercise as a show of force. >> it has been a brutal week for the trump administration, fair to say. the republican effort to repeal and replace obamacare, well, that collapsed in the u.s. senate. and a feud that erupted between president trump's new communications director and his now ousted chief of staff, that has certainly gotten a lot of

attention. but here's the question -- is any of this swaying voters, including a family of democrats who mostly cast their ballots for mr. trump last year. cnn's gary tuchman went in to find out. >> reporter: scott seitz is a grandfather. a steelworker. a democratic councilman in the village of mcdonald, ohio. and a donald trump voter. the first time this husband and father of three ever voted for a republican for president. >> there is individuals in this village that looked down on me. family members as well. but i have to think about these individuals in this room and put food on the table. and i think he had a better chance of providing a job in the future for us. >> reporter: seitz had to start a gutter cleaning business after so many steel jobs lost this part of the rust belt, but shortly after the new president took off, he got a job at a plant that makes titanium for

the f-35 fighter jet. he worked seven days a work and loves it. and says this about president trump. >> he helped negotiate that f-35 jet. there was a mass hiring over there. for me, personally, it's a very good job. >> reporter: it's debatable how it works but this family gives him credit. >> who do you vote for this election day? >> donald trump. >> donald trump. i voted for trump as well. >> reporter: but then the wife who appreciates the business credentials, and did not vote for him or hillary clinton. and would still not vote for either of them today. >> i don't like how he just throws things out. sometimes, he says things and i think he's like acting like a fifth grader. >> reporter: when the seitz family sat down with van jones before the president took office, they talked about why they couldn't vote for clinton.

>> hillary, we couldn't trust her, anybody who deletes 30,000 e-mail it was days after subpoenaed. >> reporter: and to date? >> oh, there's things about donald trump i do not trust. he spoke to me about jobs and that overruled everything. >> reporter: but they say they could have forgiven hillary clinton for what they believed were her ethical lapses. >> if she would have came through here and not completely disregarded us, she would have had all of our votes. we switched on her because she came through here and said nothing that was going to help us put food on the table. we were only looking for hope. >> reporter: and ultimately, that's why scott seitz said he voted for donald trump. >> you don't sit around and wait for things to happen. you go out and you clean gutter

s -- you make ends meet. you do all that you can. >> reporter: it's families like this that helped put donald trump in the white house for four years. and if he delivers on his economic promises could keep him there for eight. gary tuchman, cnn. mcdonald's, ohio. >> great reporting there from gary tuchman. well, donald trump flew to new york on friday to talk tough on crime especially the crackdown on violent gangs. the remarks before uniformed officers went farther, appearing to endorse police brutality. >> when you see these thugs thrown in the back of a paddy wag wagon, you just see them thrown in rough, i say, please don't be too nice. like when you guys put somebody in the car, you're protecting their head, you know, you put their hand.

don't hit their head, and they just killed somebody, and you hold their head, i say, you can take the hand away, okay. >> well, the president's words were troubling enough that the cheering raised even more alarm. that suffolk county police department issued this statement. the suffolk county police department has strict rules and procedures redding to the handling of prisoners and violations of those rules and procedures are taken extremely seriously. as a department, we do not and will not tolerate roughing up prisoners. >> in a nation where you are, innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. still ahead here in the "newsroom," some demonstrators in venezuela ignore the bans. oy middlemen and supermarkets, we can invest in the things that matter most: making farmland healthier.

welcome back to "newsroom." the venezuelan government ban on protests seem to prevent large-scale demonstrations from erupting on friday. but smaller clashes did erupt anyway. there in caracas, protesters blocked streets ahead of sunday's controversial election. the opposition fears that the president of the nation nicolas maduro is trying to create a dikts tartship in a vote from the new assembly. >> reporter: this is a system bolick area for the opposition of the government. just yesterday, they banned protests and what you can still see that they have blocked the road. these men, these young men have signs that say president maduro, they call him the worst president and also call him corrupt. this is something that you'll see in different parts of the city.

and let me show you the support that the opposition has. you can see the venezuelan flag. and you can see people of all ages. an as we have talked to people in this area, they have told us this is about freedom. this is about basic human rights. because they believe on sunday the election for a new assembly that can rewrite the constitution, is something that violates their rights here in venezuela. the government has already announced that is it will be deploying 378,000 troops to ensure securities here in venezuela. but if this is an indication of what the people of venezuela will do in listening to the government, well, that means there's a lot of uncertainty for this weekend. leila santiago, cnn, caracas, venezuela. >> venezuela's opposition groups are receiving support from neighboring colombia. the president said on friday that his country won't recognize

the election results. the relationship between the country's governments has been strained now for years. >> translator: i did not agree, as the international community did not agree either. with the call to this constituent assembly this coming sunday. this constituent assembly has an illegitimate origin, and because of that, we cannot recognize its result either. though, we will continue to insist on a peaceful solution in a fast and democratic way, for this nation we love so much. and i want to express once again my solidarity with the venezuelan people. we'll soon emerge from this darkness. >> the colombian president there. colombia said it will extend the visas on venezuelans who overstayed their visit. reports say more than 150,000 people are affected. and their visas can be renewed for up to two years.

some of them crossed the borders have temporarily fleed venezuelan's humanitarian crisis. others have been trying to restart their lives in colombia. venezuelans, though, with a criminal history are not eligible for those visas. moving on to taiwan, that nation bracing for a typhoon that's expected to hit in the next 12 hours, about that much time. but here's the thing, there's another storm right behind that one. meteorologist allison chinchar is here with details. >> that's right, george. unfortunately, as the first system comes through bringing a bunch of rain, we're not going to have much time before the next one arrives. this is typhoon nesat. and tropical depression 12. they both have an eerily similar tract. and in the northern islands in the philippines, again, numerous locations reporting over 200

millimeters of rain. again, this just being in the last 36 hours. when we look at the current typhoon in its track, here we can see, very close to taiwan now. we're even starting to see some of the outer bands begin to impact the east coast of china, bringing heavy and heavier rain. this down here, that is the tropical depression we've been talking about. you've got two different storms. notice the track, the typhoon crosses over taiwan and into china. within the next 36 hours. the second storm, the depression now being named into a tropical storm, this one taking a similar track over taiwan and into eastern china. the forecast rainfall when you combine the two storms it's incredibly impressive. we're talking wide spots of over 100 millimeters and some spots could trigger flooding. and another area where we're monitoring flooding, is the eastern portion of the united

states, flash flood warnings because of how much rain has fallen. and it's incredible. again, some of the airports around this region recorded impressive numbers from yesterday alone. the cincinnati airport picking up 50 millimeters of rain. baltimore's airport, 65 millimeters. and washington national airport in washington, d.c., 84 inches of rain. that will ramp up bringing more moisture in so a lot of these locations are going to have trailing, meaning rain keeps coming over the same spots over and over again. and that's what's going to add for a lot of rainfall. unfortunately, george, we already know swift water rescues that have taken place in four states and that's having through the day. >> thank you so much. the british baby whose medical treatment became an internationally publicized battle has died.
