at any time in history. but for mississippi, the past is right there to see. still present. and coming to terms with it is not an abstract discussion, but the daily business of life. world leaders meet at the united nations this week for the first time with donald trump as u.s. host. but north korea will likely top the attention. plus, hurricane maria churning for the caribbean. and there are fears it could follow the path of hurricane irma. and impressive night for women at the emmy awards, as julia louis-dreyfus and others make television history. >> a fun night, for sure. >> we'll have that. welcome to our viewers here in the u.s. and around the world. >> i'm natalie allen. >> and i'm george howell.

from our headquarters in atlanta, "newsroom" starts right now. around the world, good day to you. 2:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. and a very important week set in new york, with world leaders coming together for the united nations general assembly session. one topic that will be front and center, the threat of nuclear provocation for north korea. the u.s. president, donald trump, arrived in new york sunday. this will be his first appearance, his first saturdaddo that body and what will he say on the big stage? >> he's been critical of international organizations in the past, he can expected to push for backing and pressuring pyongyang to tstop its weapon program. as athena jones reports, world leaders will be paying close attention to mr. trump's policy message. >> reporter: this is a huge week

for president trump. we're talking about 193 member nations takingassembly. and a lot of the world leaders will be eager to take the measure of president trump. and eager to hear the message he has on tuesday, when he's set to address the general attemptibly, especially given the fact that candidate trump was a skeptic of the united nations. we heard him say the u.n. is not a friend of democracy. not a friend of freedom. and not a friend even to the united states. it's not clear how much he might temper his criticism of the united nations in his speech on tuesday. we got a preview of the speech he will deliver, from his national security, h.r. mcmaster, on sunday. >> he thinks the speech a tremendous opportunity to reach so many world leaders at the

same time and to emphasize three themes. first to protect the american people. the second is to promote american prosperity. and the third is to help promote accountability and sovereignty. dwr you heard mcmaster say this will be an opportunity for the president. it is also going to be an opportunity for the leaders to hear how the president is going to promote his america-first agenda. and what is a meeting of a global organization geared towards solving global challenges together. the president will have a series of meetings and events he'll be hosting, during which he will be discussing a long list of ajen to items. isis, venezuela. another important meeting at the end of the week, is a lunch with leaders of south korea, and japan. north korea and its provocations

will be high on that lunch. athena jones, somerset, new jersey. joining us from los angeles, michael. thank you so much for joining us to talk about this. we heard athena lay it out. this is a big week for the u.s. president. how will he sound? will he work with the u.n.? will he be scripted? or will he be donald trump being donald trump? >> he will be scripted. this is abopportunity to move the neatedle and change the ton. will he be big or small in will he be going offscript and making his asides that sometimes get him into trouble? or will he stick with the skr t

script? he has a big opportunity to make a bold move on north korea. he will address the north koreas who will be sitting in the front row and he can make a bold challenge to the north. i invite you to two-on-one discussions. or this is how we can develop a formula. or this a concrete offer we both can have. it gives the knot korenot north opportunity to move back. and it also puts them on the defensive. if president trump gives them a legitimate offer and they say no, that strengthens the u.s. position in opposition to the north. >> it's a chance to reach out to countries or allies on this important issue and other issues, of course, on the table, as well, and show his heft, if

you will. >> he goes into this speech with friends and foes that think critical of him. he can move his mettle, if he can stick to the speech, be teleprompter trump, and not do his offside messages that result in open mouth insert foot. it's a test of the president. the stakes are high for him. >> absolutely. we have to mention something he tweeted out this weekend. he shared a gif that someone else created of him swinging a golf ball and hitting hillary clinton in the back. it's tacky and mean-spirited and coming right before this important week with all of the issues that matter for the world for our safety and our security to do something like this, it undermines the job he has to do, doesn't it? in a way? >> that's why we're always on

pins and needles with president trump. is it trump being being and presidential or small and petty? the golf video he sent around was childish. it was unnecessary. it was something a 14-year-old boy does. why kick her when she's down? you won the election? le leave her alone. can he exist? does he have an instinctive desire to be small, to be petty, to go on the attack? if that's the trump that shows up on tuesday, the united states will be undermined. >>let's talk about obamacare for a minute. the republicans aren't done trying for a repeal. they have one more channels of a party line vote. and also, the congressional

policies. what's your reaction to these two developments? >> we've been down this road before. we've been down it a few times. in a way the proposal is a la - last-ditch efforts by republicans. they have about 17 days. at that point, some procedural powers they have, without the democratic ability to filibuster will expire. the president has says he backs the proposal. but his response has not been reassuring to the flbs the senate. there's a bipartisan ail ternty. that's why lamar alexander and patty murray that republicans have not warmed up to. think about the president allowing or giving a nudge to obamacare going off the cliff. think about how many americans will be hurt. think of how much confusion for

america or the markets. it's a bad idea any way you cut it. either you let obamacare stay and prop it up, or you will have nothing but horror stories. >> michael genovese, thank you so much for your analysis. authorities are making progress in the london bombing. >> the investigation is not over. but officials say there is no longer an eminent thought of another attack. they have lowered the u.k.'s international terror threat level from critical to severe. >> nina de santos has been live on this for us from london. do they have a better idea of how many people may have been involved in this plot? >> well, it would indicate, considering as they have

downgraded that threat level to severe, that they may have all of the individuals in their sights, they believe here. and this may not have been a wider plotting network, if you like, planning to carry out other attacks or a more deadly attack furtherer down the line. and they arrested an 18-year-old man in the early hours of saturday morning in dover. we have to find out if that individual was trying to leave the united kingdom. that's a major gateway toward the european kacontinent. on saturday, they arrested another 21-year-old man. those two vings are being questioned under the terrorism act at the south london police station. police officers will have time and be able to apply for extra time to question them further and keep them in detention such is the seriousness they've been

arrested under. the level has come down one notch. despite that the metropolitan police and the home secretary saying they are going to leave a heavy police presence on this busy monday morning commuter rush hour. rush hour is just getting going, george. a lot of people seeing the scenes on the friday morning rush hour, they will be more nervous of taking the london underground, which is so crucial to the life of the capital. over the weekend, we saw the commission of the metropolitan police have a walk around with a number of her colleagues, joining members of the public, keep calm and carry on with your daily lives. george? >> nina dos santos on this investigation. thank you for the reporting. the storm-battered caribbean is bracing for another one. hurricane maria. find out where maria may be

good news for some florida residents, more than a week after fleeing florida irma,

residents of florida's lower cease are allowed to go home. governor rick scott said crews have fixed 90% of power to residents. >> they are worried about what would happen if people returned to no running water or power there. they estimate a quarter of the houses of the keys were destroyed. even as people recover from irma, there's hurricane coming in the caribbean. this is news a lot of people don't want to hear. you have to get it out there. pedr pedram javaheri have new storms going on. >> there's a lot going on. maria on the leeward islands, and jose. lee back to the ost of it. lee, not a major player. we didn't expect it to strengthen or become a threat to land. that trek of irma, that took across the leeward islands north of puerto rico, that's where we had george and north of the

dominican republic, that's a track we saw last week. look at with what is now maria, we expect this to strengthen, going from a 1 to a category 3. that would be a major hurricane. and it parallels that track of irma. right through puerto rico, to turks and caicos, where we know the category 5 was made with irma. a category 3 could come in again. at this point, doesn't look organized or strong. this is where we saw irma from a cat 1 to a cat 3 overnight. this is what the national hurricane center expects, a very warm body of water. inside the next three days, we're talking 15, 20, some areas of rainfall. it's more water than what irma had to offer. irma was predominantly a wind event. this could be wind and rain. high concentration take it to puerto rico. make that right turn into the

turks and caicos. a northerly would be towards the minnesota. your way into an ttigua and barbuda. irma had a northerly track. this takes a southerly track. as we go from tuesday night into wednesday, a category 4 landfall potentially across eastern puerto rico, with the storm system and it skirts the island of hispaniola. if this makes landfall across that area, it could weaken the storm. at this point, the national hurricane center believes this could be a category 4, down to a category 3, as it goes through turks and caicos. and want to show you how this plays out. beyond that, the american and the yurm european model, the

european, that a fantastic job as far as its location was forecasting, with the right turn from cuba towards southern florida. right now, they make that right turn and keep it off the eastern united states. it's seven days out before we get to that point. a lot can change. that's uncomfortly with close for what will be a significant storm. there's a lot of people in the path of the storm system, guys. >> on-deck, puerto rico. they do feel, many people i spoke with, feel they dodged a bullet. they felt the intensity of the storm but could have been much worse. now, they have storm coming that way. pedram, thank you. in anguilla, a radio deejay known for spinning hit, was a lifeline during that storm. >> that's right. 11 days after hurricane irma. and you have it on 103.3.

>> reporter: before hurricane irma, deejay jamie patterson was to play music and keep up an upbeat banter. >>a anit went from me to gettin the party started to you're the guy with this job now. >> reporter: it changed his life. since his workers have switched from deejays to lifelines. >> you don't need to go in the line or the cues to get gas if your tank is on half. there's no gas shortage. >> reporter: this island was battered by irma. and the days that followed were brutal. no power damaged inf e e e ed i. the mosque has been destroy.

staying off air was not an option. so, they knew what they had a job to do. >> we need to get back up. >> reporter: one mass later, 103.3 cool f.m. was back on-care. listeners take advantage of the barbershop, listening to the radio on generator power. >> reporter: people turn to the deejays for information an comfort here and on other islands. how important was the radio station when the hurricane had gone through? >> it was very important to get information around. to know what is happening is st very vital to our community. >> reporter: vital to communities throughout the region, through irma.

now, another storm is headed their way. >> i've been in entertainment for almost 15 years. i never saw myself as a reporter or someone people would be looking to for motivation and information. of that nature, of course. it's usually, when is the next party? stuff like that. being called for this is crazy. >> reporter: when not on the radio, he deejays at clubs on this and other islands. clubs that are closed for repairs or in some cases no longer exist. like so many of his neighbors, his job and his life has changed dramatically. but not his sense of humor. >> it has me here, you know, in a state of flux because i'm out of one of my primary incomes. so, i'm here trying to figure out what my next move is. maybe i'll get into journalism and take your job. >> reporter: michael holmes, cnn, anguilla. >> i'll switch. i'll go deejay on anguilla.

>> cool music on an island. that sounds like a fun gig, yeah. we're learning new information about the united states that is considering shutting down its embassy in havana, cuba. relations have been stained after an accuoustic attack. >> u.s. officials are looking at who is responsible. patrick ofman has more for us from havana. >> reporter: it is an extremely strange story that the united states is taking seriously. rex tillerson threatened to shut down the u.s. embassy in havana, if there isn't clarification on who is carrying out awe custic attacks. certainly, it is an escalation

of the worsening relations between havana and the united states. they think there are attacks that caused physical harm to them, everything from nausea, to headaches, to concussion-like symptoms. the kubelen government has denied any role in these attacks. has allowed the fbi to come to investigate. it's uncertain who is carrying out these alleged attacks and why. but u.s. officials claims they don't believe that cuba knows as little as they are saying. to happen in havana, under the eyes of the cuban government, is very unlikely. they are pressing havana for answers. while the cuban government would like the story to go away, that seems unlikely. the united states wants to know who is behind the attacks and why.

patrick oppmann. countries were lying down in the street, protesting police brutality. >> the decision that found the former police officer not guilty of murder. he was acquitted in the shooting death of anthony lamar smith, an african-american man, killed in 2011. cnn's ryan young takes a look at the protests that played out late sunday night. >> reporter: the cleanup has started here in st. louis, after another night of unrest. someone tried to break the window here. as you walk down, you can see another glass that was shott esd here. we saw someone trying to pick up a large object and throw them into the window. you see the flower pots they turned over. police officers are trying to

chase down some of the suspects. we know they made a few arrests. right now,everyone is on-edge about what is going on, what they see in the streets. this is after a day of peaceful protests, where we saw people marching for miles and miles, with no issue. all of a sudden, late at night this, is what happens. a small group will start running through the city and creating issues. you see the officers right here, as they are doing their patrol. this is what they're doing at night. they're trying to make sure that the pockets of people that won't go home can't cause trouble. you see someone is putting boards up against a window. that's the back of a hotel. somebody were inside that bar area when something was thrown through the window. people are hoping these protests stop soon. a slo stronger force from the police than before. also to tell you about a story right here in atlanta, georgia.

investigators are looking into a fatal shooting of a georgia tech college student by campus police. this confrontation was captured saturday night. officers have their guns drawn as scout schultz walks towards them. >> police shot the 21-year-old who later died at a hospital. schultz was a fourth-year computing student. and grew up in a an atlanta subu suburb. the nation's military is ready to respond to seoul. a look at the impressive defense system, next. can i get some help. watch his head. ♪ i'm so happy. ♪

attacked with acid at a train station in marseille, france. police say the attacker was a mentally unstable woman. there's no indication the attack was terror-related. the united states and south korea are promising to take a harder stance against north korea, after recent missile tests and launches. the u.s. president donald trump spoke with the south korean president by phone over the weekend. >> he agreed that washington and seoul need to work more closely moving forward. the national security adviser says north korea has only one option, get rid of his nuclear weapons. >> he has to give up his nuclear weapons. the president said he is not tolerating this regime threatening our citizens with a nuclear weapon. >> are you saying if he doesn't give up the nuclear weapons, the president will strike? >> he's been very clear about that. all options are on the table. >> that would be a serious

option to look at. ian lee joins me, live, from seoul, south korea. this will be an interesting week, ian. you have south korea and united states pledging to work more closely. but what more can they accomplish when it comes to north korea? >> well, that's going to be the topic of discussion when they meet later this week at the u.n. general assembly. you have donald trump who is going to be meeting with the south korean president as well as the japanese prime minister, discussing what measures they can take in the diplomatic realm. on the military realm, we're hearing today there's another south korean/u.s. military exercise that involves four f-35s, as well as two b-1 bombers. it's that preparedness that is crucial. i met with some soldiers who are preparing for what could be preparing for a war. they say while they hope it

doesn't happen, they'll be ready if it breaks out. a war in korea could start like this. volley after volley of north korean artillery raining down on seoul. shows of weapons are pointed at the south korean capital, home of 10 million people. defending it is priority number one for her generals and politicians. the u.s. army granted cnn exclusive access to the 6th battalion 37th field artillery. the workhorse, the alpha 1, also known as steel rain. i get a tour of the multiple launch rocket system. >> it's about being able to provide support fires in a timely manner and being precise at the same time. >> reporter: the mrms can fire

member. >> translator: we can analyze the trajectory and calculate the point of origin. that is related to our artillery to destroy the target. >> reporter: the committee member worries that the shells could carry a deadly passenger. >> translator: what's scarier is that north korea is storing about 5,000 tons of chemical wes. they are also thought to have biological weapons like anthrax. long-range artillery can be used as a delivery weapon for these weapons of mass destruction. >> reporter: kim says it's up to hsu and his troops to deliver a counterpunch. failure can turn seoul into what officials describe as a sea of fire.

natalie, at the unga, it's likely we'll hear this freeze-freeze proposal again, which has been brought up by russia and china, where north korea will freeze its missile and weapons programs, and the south and yates will freeze their military exercises. while speaking with the troops, they said when it comes to readiness, these exercises are crucial. natalie? >> ian lee for us in seoul. thank you. wall-to-wall human suffering. that's how one aide worker describes a humanitarian crisis. we take you inside a refugee camp where many people are desperate for food and desperate for water.

>> thanks for being with us. >> was there a theme to the programs that dominated. there was a theme to the acceptance speeches going political during this one. >> yeah. i think that was somewhat inevitable given that politics is on everybody's mind. it's what everybody talks about around the watercooler in the workplace. it's only natural that hollywood and the actors and tv creators would do the same thing. in terms of a big theme, if you look at the shows that won big tonight, "big little lies" and "handsmaid tale" tackle gender issues in a political climate when people think that women's rights are up for discussion. >> you talk about politics. and the united states, clearly a very polarized society right now. some people see one thing. others see another. sean spicer, on stage, the

former press secretary. let's find out how that played out. some people might have thought that was incredibly funny. especially, playing out that role from "saturday night live." others kr s criticized his appe and said it normalized sean spicer and normalized the trump white house. >> that's a good way to distill it. the shock you saw on the faces of the celebrities in the audience. it was equal parts, ha, ha, is this happening? and the fact that sean spicer is coming out and kind of making a joke about the fact that he used to wildly exaggerate things, he was quite seriously about, when he was in that position at the white house. yes, joking about inauguration crowd sizes is purely trivial. the fact he's saying, ha, ha, i made stuff up in that job, when he there was serious stuff he

was talking about. that could rub people the wrong way. >> there were journalists that were asking questions for the american people. to hear that he exaggerated -- >> the fact he acknowledged that on stage. oh, you are telling us this was a joke. >> melissa mccarthy played sean spicer almost to a tee. alec baldwin won for his portrayal of trump. did he accept it as himself or as president trump? >> the biggest -- he mentioned that he and his wife didn't have a child this here. and basically, playing the orange man was a big turn-off for her. that's the kind of thing that will absolutely drive the president crazy. so, it was clever. i think alec has spent enough time channeling donald trump that he knows what will bother

him. >> natalie mentioned this a minute ago. let's talk about lena waif. the first african-american woman to win outstanding writer for a comedy series. >> that's a huge milestone. i think she had a warm reception, you know, when she took the stage. people gave her a great ovation. and that episode was great memorable and critically acclaimed. if you haven't seen it, it's semiautobiographical. it's about her own experience of coming out to her family. this was, she was not only honored, but her story, theed idea of a lesbian woman of color. that story was honored. there were other milestones. the first asian man to win an emmy. you know. 39th edition. >> that's pretty cool. >> how did original series on netflix fare to traditional tv shows? >> well, you know, i think

that -- netflix specifically -- it did all right. they had "the crown" and a lot of nominations for "stranger things." they went home empty.
