because in a world that's changing faster and faster, it's all about going to where the opportunities are. and with china on the rise, it's more important than ever to understand where she comes from president trump started a new feud and re-ignited another one this weekend. first a war of words on twitter with a prominent republican senator, then went vice president pence walked out of an nfl game of some players taking a knee, trump tweeted it was his idea. plus large crowds of protesters on the streets rallying against separation of catalonia from spain. welcome to viewers here in the united states and all around the world i'm rosemary church. this is "cnn newsroom."

a republican senator is blasting u.s. president donald trump after a day-long twitter feud. during an interview with "the new york times," senator bob corker said the president's reckless threats could put the u.s. on the path to world war iii. he also slammed mr. trump for treating his office like a reality show and said he concerns me. he would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation. this spat comes as the white house sets some aggressive conditions for any deal to protect young undocumented immigrants in legal limbo. the administration's request to congress include funding for the president's border wall and counts to legal immigration. and vice president mike pence also made headlines this weekend for joining president trump's attack on protesting nfl players. cnn's ryan nobles has the details.

>> reporter: the white house wading into a number of controversies this weekend. one involving the nfl yet again, and another one involving a republican senator. first on the nfl. for the fourth week in a row, both the president and vice president voicing their displeasure with nfl players kneeling during the national anthem to protest racial injustice and inequality. the vice president was actually at an nfl football game, his hometown indianapolis colts. he tweeted a picture of him standing during the national anthem. but when he noticed some san francisco 49ers were not standing, he left the game. he let out series of tweets explaining the reasoning why. not much long after that the president took credit saying i asked vp pence to leave the stadium if any players kneeled disrespecting our country. i'm proud of him and second lady karen. >> my honest reaction, does

anybody know the last time he has been to a football game? okay, with that being said, he tweeted out a 3-year-old photo. with the information that i have, last time he's been to a game was three years ago. this is like a pr stunt to me. he knew our team had the most twitter protests. he knew that we were probably going do it again. so it looks like man with power comes to the game, tweets a couple of things out and leaves the game with an attempt to thwart our efforts. it's really disheartening. everybody i was raised on was to be the best person i could be to help people that need help. and the vice president of the united states is trying to confuse the message that we're trying to put out there. >> and the president was busy on twitter, criticizing a member of his own party, tennessee senator bob corker who is not seeking reelection. the president suggesting that corker had come to him begging

for his endorsement. when the president told him no, he decided not to run again. corker's been critical of the president this week, suggesting that his closest administration officials like secretary of state rex tillerson and defense secretary james mattis are the only thing keeping the country from chaos. corker's office rejects this version of events from the white house. quote, the president called senator corker on monday afternoon and asked him to reconsider his decision to not seek reelection and reaffirm that he would have endorsed him, as he has said many times before. even though corker is not seeking reelection, he will with in the senate until the end of 2018. and the president needs as many republican votes as he can if he wants to pass big ticket items like tax reform, and if they attempt another run at health care reform. ryan nobles, cnn at the white house. steven erlanger joins us now from belgium's capital city brussels. he is the chief diplomatic

correspondent for "the new york times." thank you so much for being with us. >> good morning, rosemary. >> let's start with this war of words between president trump and senator corker. mr. trump attacking the senator. bob corker firing back. and among other things, calling the white house an adult day-care center. what do you make of this exchange, and what are americans supposed to be making of this? >> well, i think trump is at war with his own party. it's not his natural party. the republicans have been intimidated by his campaign. they were surprised by it. they're worried about the strength of feeling from his base. but senator corker obviously doesn't care. he is not running again. and obviously trump needs republicans. and don't forget tennessee has had al gore as its senator in the past. republicans lose one more senate seat, they're in deep trouble. i don't really understand the

point of the fight except trump likes to fight and corker clearly struck back. basically, he called the president a liar. he said he tweets things that he knows are not true. and i don't know why he does it and he called into question from a very senior republican who knows a lot about foreign policy, he asks really about whether trump was capable of being president, whether he had the temperament to be president. i think the republicans will take it pretty seriously and obviously people who don't like trump will say hooray, and people who do like trump will think corker is a terrible person, as usual. >> right. of course the other big issue from over the weekend was vice president pence leaving the football game between the indianapolis colts and the san francisco 49ers after a some players knelt during the national anthem. president trump admitted he told mr. pence to do that, to leave.

and we also heard san francisco player, one of them at least calling that a pr stunt. that what it was? >> yes. it clearly was a pr stunt. he knew directly there to do it and then left. the press corp. with him was told to stay in the press van because there might be an early departure. think of the money it cost to protect the vice president in a stadium, a live stadium just for what appears to be a pr stunt. that's one of the questions one might be asking. i mean, yes, it's true, trump has made a big issue of these protests in nfl, and pence is a loyal vice president. that's fine. pence was from indianapolis. so fine. but this is a kind of egregious use of the secret service, it seems to me, for something meant to be on tv, meant to be on twitter, meant again to energize

a trump base that is a little nervous about the way things are going in the country. >> steven erlanger, thank you so much for joining us with your analysis, joining us there from brussels. many thanks. meanwhile, president trump is lashing out against critics who say he hasn't done enough to help puerto rico after hurricane maria devastated the island. on sunday night he tweeted this. nobody could have done what i've done for puerto rico with so little appreciation, so much work. he also shared an apparent defense department video starting with the words "what the fake news media will not show you in puerto rico." but our leyla santiago is on the ground, speaking to some of the island's most vulnerable people. hospitals are still without power. patients are still without medicine. here is what she is hearing from those people. >> still a strong sense of desperation. hospitals telling us that they

are operating on a day by day basis. they are still two and a half weeks after the storm finding it difficult to get their hands on what they need -- water, diesel, for those generators. as a matter of fact, when we visited one hospital, we noticed fema stopped by, but only to assess their needs. the only delivery we saw was diesel. and it was a delivery the hospital scheduled and paid for. workers told me it was going to last them just a day and a half. as a matter of fact, earlier this week, patients had to be evacuated to the u.s. navy ship comfort because of a generator failure. and the doctor of one of those patients told me the person was connected to a ventilator. that's why it was so important to get more help. do you think you'll get that help? >> we hope so. >> do you need the help? >> yes. >> and because hospitals are struggling, many who are already

sick, already vulnerable, are trying to get off the island. i met an 8-year-old boy named diego. and he has rare disorder. his mother has really been struggling to find the medications that he needs to stay alive. and thankfully, through the help of some private donor, the family was able to get on a charter flight to get to florida and get more help. not everyone as lucky. leyla santiago, cnn, san juan, puerto rico. well, residents along the u.s. gulf coast are breathing a sigh of relief after hurricane nate spared the region from the catastrophic damage we've seen in the caribbean from earlier storms. hurricane nate made landfall in the u.s. overnight sunday. and though it wasn't nearly as powerful as irma and maria, it did knock out electricity to tens of thousands of homes in three states and caused storm surges and flooding in some areas. now before the approach, the

nate was a tropical storm that pummelled central america with heavy rains bringing landslides and flash floods. at least 28 people died. nate is now a tropical depression. let's get the latest on what's left of the storm. meteorologist karen maginnis joins us now with that. so karen, what is left of it? and where is this headed? >> very little left of it. but it will still have its impact. but nothing like we saw just 24 hours ago. this is a view of what happened at the hard rock cafe in their parking garage. it has waves with it. now once nate made landfall as a category 1 hurricane, it quickly lost a lot of its intensity. but there you see the storm surge inundated. some of the low-lying areas. and we are also looking at it, having an impact as far as wind is concerned as well. still tens of thousands of people reportedly without power all along the gulf coast region be. now some of the higher wind

gusts being reported right around the central appalachia. still nothing like we were seeing 24 hours ago. certainly not at hurricane intensity. so much so that the national hurricane center is not issuing any more advisories regarding nate. as i mentioned just about over the central appalachias, this is what we're seeing and expecting some of the highest wind gusts perhaps on the order of 75, faubel 100 kilometers per hour. but those would be extraordinary if we saw that, considering that nate is not even packing winds even that close. so over the next 12 to 24 hours we are watching nate, the remnants of it, catch up with a frontal system this weekend across the eastern seaboard. so if this is going to enhance the amount of moisture that we see across the region, here is the track of nate. it has a long history. and it wasn't until just before landfall, as nate was out over the very warm waters of the gulf of mexico that we saw it reach its hurricane intensity, and

there was some speculation that it in fact could make it to category 2 intensity. it never did. we're thankful for that, but still very impressive satellite imagery as it did make landfall, two landfalls across extreme southeastern louisiana and then near biloxi, mississippi. and already, rosemary, we've seen 17 reports of tornadoes. not something we've necessarily talked about with other hurricanes. >> unbelievable, karen maginnis, thank you so much for that. we appreciate it. we'll talk to you next hour. just three days after a bombshell report by "the new york times" that alleged decades of sexual harassment against employees, a powerful hollywood muggile is kicked out by the company he cofounded. our brian stelter has more. >> reporter: harvey weinstein fired from the weinstein company. it's a headline that was hard to imagine a week ago. but in the wake of a "new york times" investigation into a pattern of improper behavior in

his past, the weinstein company board decided on sunday to terminate harvey weinstein's contract. now here is part of the statement from the board directors, which includes harvey's brother bob. the company said, quote, in light of new information about misconduct by harvey weinstein that has emerged in the past few days, the directors of the company have informed him that his employment is terminated effective immediately. that announcement coming sunday evening after a weekend when this crisis deepened for the weinstein company. for a moment, let's go back to thursday. that's when "the new york times" published its investigation into weinstein. it found a pattern of behavior involving actresses, assistants, and models spanning decades. now this kind of harassment alleged in the time story had been whispered about in hollywood for years. but it had not been made public. it had not been reported on in this way before. some say that's because weinstein had so much power, he was able to keep people quiet and was able to quash

unflattering news stories. now when "the times" story came out on thursday, weinstein denied some of the claims, but acknowledged he had behaved improperly in some cases. he also said he was sorry for causing people pain, and said whoa seek professional help. on friday, the weinstein company board said we support his decision to take a leave of absence. with know he has some things to work through. but back then the board kept the door open for him to possibly return in the future. on sunday, that door slammed closed. what happened in between friday and sunday, well, there is a couple things that happened. number one, a couple of weinstein's advisers quit so they wouldn't work for him anymore. and number two, there were more investigations by more news outlets happening. the weinstein company aware that there could be more allegations from more women coming in public pretty soon. so the weinstein company now breaking from its co-founder there is no immediate comment from harvey weinstein. we'll see how many in hollywood choose to support him or criticize him or stay silent

about this embarrassing scandal. brian stelter, cnn, new york. >> thanks, brian. we'll take a short break here. but still to come on "cnn newsroom," some called him the man who wants to break up spain. others say he is a devoted defender of independence for cat lance. we'll look at the baker's son turned politician at the center of the crisis gripping spain. we're back in a moment. n with the pole, and i had to make a claim and all that? is that whole thing still dragging on? no, i took some pics with the app and... filed a claim, but... you know how they send you money to cover repairs and... they took forever to pay you, right? no, i got paid right away, but... at the very end of it all, my agent... wouldn't even call you back, right? no, she called to see if i was happy. but if i wasn't happy with my claim experience for any reason, they'd give me my money back, no questions asked. can you believe that? no. the claim satisfaction guarantee, only from allstate. switching to allstate is worth it. only from allstate. ...there's something you to smay be missing.

for unity in spain, and could this perhaps have an impact on what happens on tuesday? >> well, good morning to you, rose it is. we haven't heard from either leaders. when it comes to those rallies over the weekend. there really was show of force. so many people calling it silent majority of those who we haven't heard from for a week now coming out. on saturday, you saw people dressed in white, asking for peace. many on both days calling for dialogue. people had placards that said let's talk. we also heard very loud voice, people m people were draped in spanish flags saying we need to call for unity. we are catalans and we are spanish. but at the same time, rosie, we heard many people saying catalan presence does not represent us all. so you're at the point now people are getting somewhat frustrated that leaders are dithering on their positions.

a political standoff is still going into its second week. whether that adds another pressure on either to drop the declaration of independence or the prime minister to drop any other form of dialogue, that is going to be a critical week. but clearly, voices have been heard here in spain, rosie. >> and isa, as you point out, there is still this political standoff. but is it possible to quantify how many catalans support and how many reject independence for catalonia? >> it's really hard to tell in all honesty. if we just go with what we saw yesterday we had different numbers of those. if we go with the referendum, those who turned out on october 1, you know about roughly 42% came out to support a call for independence. so we know that's not an overall majority of the more than 5 million people who live in catalonia. so it is very much split. and that is what we have been

seeing throughout catalonia. we know over the weekend many people came from all parts of spain to call for unity. but of course we cannot forget that many, many catalans here, the majority in fact do not want independence. so it's going to be a critical week. principally because on tuesday we expect him to really go to parliament to talk what he calls the current political situation. it's being interpreted as a way for him self-invisiting the constitutional court's decision last week not to announce, declare independence on monday. so we shall see what his game plan. but already calls for calls on the table. >> joining us live from barcelona where it is nearly 8:30 in the morning, thanks as always. well, the catalonia crisis is shining a spotlight on the man who is at the forefront of the driver for independence from span. erin mclaughlin takes a closer

look at the son of a village baker who was stripped from relative obscurity into the heart of the separatist movement. >> translator: i want to address the king directly in language i know he understands and speaks. >> the freedom fighter, the defender of the catalan voice or the disloyal nationalist risking it all to break up spain. it's all depends on how you view the crisis that spilled on to the streets of barcelona. those who know the 54-year-old best say one thing is certain about catalan president carles puigdemo puigdemont. he has always believed in independence. >> carles puigdemont has independence as his core. this is not something he emphasized. it's something he knows very well. it's a part of who he is. >> part who have he is a reflection of where he was born. a remote catalan village about an hour and a half outside

barcelona. a mayor has always been a stronghold for independence. a village so tiny, we bumped into his cousin in the main square. he tells us what it means to be catalan. >> it's really hard to express that in words. because we're different from spanish people. we respect them. but we have a lot of traditions, a lot of culture. and that's why we feel so proud. >> and you think that carles puigdemont reflects that? >> yeah. >> not far away, his family's bakery known for mouthwatering paste industries and sweets. the family still lives above their bake rich. his friends tell me he was loyal and intelligent and outward looking. at 18 he moved to the nearby town of gerona where he was a journalist and businessman. he eventually became the mayor and then catalan president. antony has known him for over 30 years. he says puigdemont is an unusual

politician. >> translator: he doesn't have any problem to sacrifice, to risk his own political biography, because he doesn't have political ambition. what he has is national ambition. >> reporter: he insists his national ambition stops at bloodshed and economic hardship. he believes puigdemont will try to de-escalate the situation. >> translator: it's an open wound, and we need to get the inflammation down. and i know puigdemont will try to treat the wound with anti-inflammatorie anti-inflammatories. >> reporter: even if that means giving up independence? >> to the declaration, yes. to the long-term project, no. but to the declaration, yes. for now. >> reporter: sunset over gerona, not far from where puigdemont lives with his wife and children. it looks serene. but things here are tense. local police moved us on. the man they're here to protect is vulnerable. in a matter of day, he could

declare this land independent, and no one knows what might happen next. erin mclaughlin, cnn, gerona. and we'll take another break here. but still to come, turkish forces are trying to push out an al qaeda splitter group in northern syria. the latest on that operation just ahead. plus the reason this man opened fire on a festival crowd last week in las vegas is still a mystery. how his high stakes gambling habit could be involved. that's still to come. t-mobile's unlimited now includes netflix on us. that's right. netflix on us. get 4 unlimited lines for just $40 bucks each. taxes and fees included. and now netflix included. so go ahead. binge on us. another reason why t-mobile is america's best unlimited network.

a very warm welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm rosemary church. it's time now to update you on the main stories we've been following this hour. the trump white house is asking congress for hard line immigration concessions. the wish list could prevent congress from protecting undocumented young immigrants brought to the u.s. as children. among other things, the trump administration is asking for money for the border wall and cuts to legal immigration. embattled hollywood mogul harvey weinstein is out, fired from his namesake film production company. the board of directors announced the decision three days after a bombshell article in "the new york times" describing sexual harassment allegations from several women that spanned decades. catalonia's regional president is set to address his parliament tuesday as the crisis over catalonia's push for independence from spain grows. hundreds of thousands of catalans rallied in barcelona sunday, calling for spain to

remain united. the british prime minister is urging the european union to be flexible during brexit negotiations. european officials say they first have to agree on the terms of the brexit divorce. but theresa may wants to start discussing the future relationship after the uk leaves the union. she will tell british lawmakers on monday the ball is in the eu's court. meanwhile, scotland's first minister nicholas sturgeon tells the bbc brexit talks are chaotic and incomplete because the prime minister is weak. and nina dos santos has more now on the british political crisis. >> our economy is back on track. excuse me. >> reporter: a sputtering performance as british prime minister at the conservative party conference is viewed by many as a symptom of a deeper malaise, a crisis of confidence in the british government,

triggered by a disastrous election which cost the conservative party its majority and left some to suggest theresa may is in office, but not in power. now word that 30 of her own mps would back a call for her to stand down. that call coming from the former co-chairman of the conservative party. the public face of this rebellion. 48 mps are needed to trigger her removal. theresa may moved to steady the ship. >> what i think is necessary for the country now, what the country needs is calm leadership. that's exactly what i'm providing. and i'm providing that with the full support of my cabinet. thank you. >> reporter: but this call for calm, like the falling letter behind her conference backdrop as she delivered her speech is not a good look for the prime minister. and the timing is terrible. with brexit negotiations set to continue on monday, the prime minister's weakness cannot have escaped the notice of eu negotiators, all of the markets

with the pound having its worst week in a year. the prime minister had hoped that a mea culpa over her decision to call a snap election would have turned the tide on her fortunes. but to no avail. >> i hold my hands up for that. take responsibility. i led the campaign, and i am sorry. >> reporter: there is one saving grace for theresa may. that's the fact that faced with resurgent labor and opposition, her party will do all it can to avoid triggering a general election. so until its members can fix on a suitable successor, it's likely she may limp on a little while longer. nina dos santos, cnn, at westminster in london. washington and ankara are locked in a diplomatic dispute. on sunday, turkey's embassy in washington announced it was suspending visa services for americans at its u.s. facilities. that came after u.s. diplomatic facilities in turkey suspended their routine visa services. this tit for tat row was spotted

when a u.s. consulate employee was arrested in istanbul over alleged links to the man turkey blames for last year's coup attempt. turkey's president says a military operation in northern syria is a national security issue for his country. the operation under way is aimed at establishing a de-escalation zone. president erdogan said turkey's border provinces are under threat. meanwhile, a deadly air strike hit a city in idlib providence on sunday. they found a man and a child under the rubble. the strike was said to be carried out by the syrian regime. joining me now is cnn producer from istanbul. so what is the latest information that you have on this turkish operation in northern syria? >> reporter: rosemary we know that turkish tanks are lined up

on the border with syria, and heavy machinery is there. opening up parts of the border gate for an operation and we know there are fsa units on the turkish border down of reyhanli waiting to go in for the start of the operation. and what is going to be really difficult sheer that this is one of the de-escalation zones that russia, iran and turkey agreed to turing the talks in the kazakh capital. this is one of four de-escalation zones that is supposed to be established in syria to allow for civilians to have a little bit more of a safety living in these zones. but the idlib province de-escalation zone is expected to be one of the hardest de-escalation zones to create because of the presence of a

group better known by their former name, the nusra front. they were al qaeda affiliates in syria. and over the last couple of months, they have really gained control over very large swaths of id lick province. so they will be a complicating factor in this. >> so it's going to be a very difficult operation. what are you learning about this operation that was apparently carried out by syrian forces? >> well, the syrian regime backed by russia and iran have been carrying out attacks or air strikes in idlib province. september has in fact been one of the most civilian -- in terms of the civilian death count, has been one of the most deadly months in the syrian conflict. and really, over the last couple of months, as the group formally known as the nusra front has been gaining more and more territory in idlib province, there has been an increase in

the number of air strikes that have been carried out by the russian and iranian backed syrian regime forces. so -- this de-escalation zone and this operation is meant to go in there and stop these kinds of air strikes from taking place so that civilians can live there with a modicum of security and stability, rosemary. >> many thanks for that live report joining us live from istanbul where it is nearly $9.40 in the morning. well, in las vegas, nevada, authorities are trying to piece together why a retired accountant with no criminal record accumulated such an arsenal of weapons and opened fire on a crowd. so far they know he had a gambling habit. cnn's sara sidner looks into his world of high stakes betting. >> reporter: authorities say killer stephen paddock was doing what he normally did in vegas before his massacre began.

>> we are aware he was gambling. >> reporter: a retiree, he was living off real estate investments and had long been betting big money at casinos. >> he was a big fish at the atlantis in reno. >> reporter: eric paddock, stephen's brother witnessed just how big of a gambler stephen was when they visited the atlantis casino resort and spa in reno. >> it's in the record. my family, he brought us to vegas or reno and we took over the whole top floor of the atlantis hotel. this is how he was. this is the kind of gambler he was. >> reporter: but he has also been spotted at high roller events in las vegas according to vegas insider anthony curtis. >> how much do you have to spend nobody that category? >> it's interesting. the high roller strata is different for different places. but when you're talking about the sort of places that paddock played, you've got to be a really, really big better. he was playing 25 denomination

video poker. so he was betting $125 a hand. playing at a 800 to a thousand hands an hour. he was running $100,000 through the machine every hour. >> reporter: paddock's game of choice, video poker. what kind of player do have to be if you're using video poker as your way to win big. >> it's a subset of the slots but it's a thinking man's game. instead of pulling handles, you have to make decisions. video poker is for people who want to think and change the odds in their direction using their head. >> reporter: so meticulous, well-informed, intelligent, mathematical? >> yes. >> reporter: curtis says video poker is a game that would be attracted to loners. and paddock was not known to socialize with other high rollers, though they recognized his picture. but paddock certainly managed close relationships with at least one person, his girlfriend, marilu danley who worked at atlantis as a high stakes hostess.

>> he loved her. >> reporter: he bought her a ticket home to the philippines and even wire herd $100,000 some time before the shooting. according to her statement read by her attorney. >> while there, he wired me money. what she said was for me to buy a house for me and my family. i was grateful. but honestly, i was worried that first, the unexpected trip and then the money was a way of breaking up with me. >> reporter: he was clearly planning something much more sinister, a shooting, she says, she knew nothing about. [ gunshots ] in the end, he killed more than 50 people and himself. but authorities now say it appears he initially planned to survive and escape. still, with all the authorities now know about paddock, the details do not answer one important question. why did he do it. remains a mystery.

we'll take a break right here. when we come back, the north korean nuclear threat is very real for the neighbors of the unpredictable regime. next, we take you to a chinese city where the latest nuclear tests by pyongyang was felt as an earthquake. we're back in a moment. te. or make me feel like i'm not really "there." talk to your doctor, and call 844-234-2424.

china. they felt the underground blast as a frightening earthquake, and now they fear what their unpredictable neighbor could do next. our matt rivers has more. >> reporter: the nuclear test on september 3rd was north korea's largest to date. they triggered an earthquake and international reaction was swift the u.n. security council passed new sanctions. donald trump threatened to completely destroy north korea and kim jong un warned his next test would be over the pacific ocean. but at the exact moment of the latest test the people in the city of yanji didn't know about the blast or the fallout that follow. all they knew is the earth was shaking. >> what? is this an earthquake in my apartment? >> hundreds of thousands of people felt the physical repercussions without knowing what it was. many rushed outside to safety.

this is where you were when the earthquake happened? thinking man, a butcher, was asleep in his bed. so were you scared? >> translator: all of the sudden, everything ban shaking back and forth. so i ran outside. and everyone was saying it was an earthquake. i had no idea what was going on. >> reporter: an entire city thinking the same thing, though collectively, about to connect the nuclear dots. >> translator: everybody came in and said it was an earthquake. a bit later we realized it was from the north koreans. >> reporter: this woman runs a restaurant in town where conversations have lately focused on kim jong un's nuclear program and what it could mean for them. >> translator: i'm worried about the radiation. it could really hurt us. >> reporter: concerns over radiation escaping from the test site have increased with each explosion. some experts have suggested that the mountain at the site could even collapse, spewing deadly radiation into the air and quickly across the chinese border. china says it has not detected anything of the sort, and that

its military keeps a vigilant watch over air quality levels. but new yanji, for some parents it's of little comfort. >> translator: i have a 4-year-old daughter. these tests could make buildings collapse. there could be radiation. i'd i'd like to move to beijing or shanghai, but i don't have the money. >> reporter: it's fair the say people are more nervous about the constant nuclear activity going on not that far away from here. but threw is also this kind of pervasive sense that there is not much we can to be it. we still have to pay the bills and take the kids to school, so life goes on, right? so the restaurants are still open. there is still outdoor recess, and new buildings are going up, even if they might be shaken by another nuclear test soon. a concerted effort to look past a problem that's becoming increasingly hard to ignore. matt rivers, cnn, yanji, china. we'll take a short break. but coming up, young undocumented immigrants who started businesses in the united

as we discussed earlier,

thousands of undocumented young immigrants in the u.s. are in legal limbo. their future depends on whether congress keeps protecting them under the daca program. but the trump white house is now asking lawmakers for aggressive immigration concessions, including money for the border wall. cnn spoke with two young immigrants who fear losing the businesses they started. >> we're not taking jobs. we're just competing for them. >> you ucan have my job if you can do it. >> reporter: mustafa and daniela, here in the u.s. through no fault of their own. >> our backgrounds set us up to kind involve that fight in us. >> the business needs me to help it bring through, to help it bring diversity. >> reporter: brought to the u.s. illegally by their parents. >> we want to be able to pour it back into our families, pour it back into our communities. >> if you can't do my job, then what job am i stealing from you?

>> reporter: now as the fate of daca hangs in the balance, their futures do too. >> i was about 9 years old when my parents decided to come to america. and we get on the plane. and all i remember is me saying thank you to the hostess. that's all i know in english. we came here to this apartment. and i remember my mother sitting us down and we're not going back. >> i was born in egypt. and we migrated to the states when was 7 years old. we came here really to pursue the american dream. >> reporter: research says more than 5% of daca recipients have started their own businesses. that's almost double the overall u.s. rate. >> today ''s event is for sophia going gara. >> mustafa started an event staffing company that employees nearly 30 people. what do you say to the people that say that you, as someone here with daca are taking americans' jobs?

>> i grew up playing baseball. and baseball for whatever you wanted, you were given a shot to earn what you want. the best man wins. so it's not that we're taking any jobs. we're competing. we're creating jobs in the process. >> reporter: daniela works a 9 to 5 and has started her own business on the side. it's called innovative lab designs and lets students who can't make it to classes at school take them online. >> students will buy the kits and take physics lab at home. >> we don't know if daniela is going to be here in two years. what would it mean if she had to one day sflooef. >> if you look around the country, another two year schools, four-year schools, they're not doing, this probably because they don't have a danielle. >> the relationship with my father has been very special to me. one day he had a massive heart attack and passed away. >> do you think that a lot of why you're pursuing the american dream is for him?

>> yeah. and my mom. i guess through this business i was able to retire, you can say. i don't do things for me. it's not so much for myself. my ideal is to bring it back or the my family, bring it back for my community. >> part of me says yeah, i want to stay here. but then another part of me is how can we go back living to the shadows when we had a taste of what it is to be in the light? >> and thank you so much for your company this hour on "cnn newsroom." i'm rosemary church. for those in the u.s., "early start" is next. for everyone else, i'll be right back with another hour of news. please stick around. bristle brush forvy a feathery-soft lash experience. voluptuous volume. intense length. take your lashes to paradise. new lash paradise mascara. from l'oreal paris.
