2:00 am
trump hits the ground swinging on his asia tour, golfing. japanese prime minister. live report from tokyo ahead this hour. the saudi crown prince consolidates power and several senior figures in the kingdom are attained in an anti-corruption crackdown. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. 5:00 a.m. on the u.s. east
2:01 am
coast. the u.s. president is in japan. the first leg of his marathon trip throughout asia. mr. trump met with that nation's prime minister shinzo abe. they played a round of golf. before that, the american president spoke to troops at an air base and laid out what he believes he wants to accomplish regarding trade. >> the next ten days, we travel to south korea, china, vietnam, and the philippines. we will seek new opportunities for cooperation in commercial and we will partner with friends and allies to pursue a free and open indo-pacific renal. we will seek free, fair, and reciprocal trade. but this future is only within our grasp because of you.
2:02 am
>> the nuclear threat frnorth korea is the other big issue on mr. trump's agenda. he didn't mention that country by name nor its leader about the target of his message was quite clear. >> tho one, no one, no dictator regime, no nation, shall ever underestimate american resolve. every once in a while in the past, they underestimated us. it was not pleasant for them, was it? it was not pleasant. we will never yield, never waiver, and never falter in defense of our people, our freedom, and our great american flag. >> kicking off the trip was tough talk there.
2:03 am
let's bring in cnn's alex aned dre a field. again, talking about the fact, no regime, no dictator should underestimate the you understand when it comes to their resolve. really what he focused on in his physician public message of this trip is talk about the strengths of the alliance between the united states and japan. the first address was to a mixed audience of troops from both the united states and japan and this first stop on this five-stop tour brings him face-to-face with perhaps his closest ally in the region as he is working to confront perhaps the most critical issue his administration will take on, the issue of north korea. he started his trip here with the prime minister abe and two playing golf together and enjoying lunch together and move on to a steak dinner in tokyo with both of their wives in attendance.
2:04 am
on tomorrow's agenda, more formal bilateral talks but the one that is the largest is north korea and president trump finds a close albuquerqly in prime mi abe. the two have been in lock step as they have bone reiterated repeatedly where we have seen the north korean threat continue to mount as they continue to work to target the united states. both abe and trump have talked about the importance of expanding japan's military ability to protect and defend this country as they feel that threat from north korea inching ever closer. don't forget, we have seen two missiles fly over that florn japanese island in just the last few months. these are two leaders who have continued to stay in close contact as we have seen a series of provocation s from north korea and they have spoken on the time some 16 times since president trump has taken office
2:05 am
and the prime minister has visited president trump twice so fitting that president trump started his visit here he will have a warm reception from japan's leader and from here noor to south korea and vine china taking on the issue of north korea. we know that the president sees china as being key to countering the threat from north korea. he has been disparaging at times of the leads-of-. china's failure to exert morse of its economic leverage in the regime but they have seen increased efforts from china to uphold some of the sanctions remted leveled against north korea. this is a critical trip and all eyes president trump's leaders and all it starting here in tokyo. >> alexandria field, thank you for that reporting. a moment she showcased their romance. mr. trump landed, mr. abe
2:06 am
surprised him with customized baseball hearts. white caps have gold lettering that say donald and shinzo make alliance even greater. this is mr. trump's well-known slogan make america great again. the two leaders signed hats before hitting the greens for golf. the u.s. president now in japan. let's take a look at the other stops that will be part of what is the longest u.s. presidential trip to asia since 1992. mr. trump heads next to south korea and scheduled to have bilateral and expanded meetings before going to china. he will tour the forbidden city with the prime minister and then heads to vietnam for the apec summit events and a final stop in that mill anila with east su
2:07 am
meetings. mike is with the u.s. china institute of the university of southern california and also the author of "meltdown the inside story of the north korean nuclear crisis." and mike spent many years as an international correspondent for cnn. always plenty to have you with us, mike. let's talk about the relationship between is two lers. what is it that binds them and connect them beyond the obvious connection of north korea? >> reporter: i think the north korea issue is very important. for shinzo abe, he made it clear whatever donald trump's idiosyncrasy. he isware of little touches like designing the hats saying make the alliance greater that say reinforce the personal sense of
2:08 am
warmth and the importance to japan of the u.s. alliance. for abe, one of his central goals is try to build up the japanese military. japan has a pacifist execution and that is estrange japan and new climates about the threat from north korea continue to mount, abe has found useful support from trump and in his effort to try to bolster japan's military capabilities. but i think just more broadly, a sense on the japanese side that they need to cultivate the american president to make sure the alliance stays strong. don't forget. president trump made during the campaign critical comments about the alliances about japan and south korea and that generated some unease among allies in those two capitals. >> you point out it's important for japan. they see the need to create this relationship but, again, what is the net positive here? what is it that japan gets from
2:09 am
this closer relationship with the united states? >> fundamentally, it's security. the security relationship between japan and the united states which dates to the years just after world war ii has really allowed japan, without a strong military presence, backing away from the military aggression that was so -- helped trigger the conflict in asia in world war ii to become an enormously successful and enormous enormous enormously prosperus china. so for the japanese who have a robust trade relationship with china but a very uneasy political one with disputes over islands that both sides claim in the waters between them and with japan worrying about them, more muscular chinese approach to international affairs, cementing that alliance with the u.s. is
2:10 am
important, as is the importance of the alliance with worries about north korea which continue to grow. >> you touch on trade there. the president has made very clear his frustration regarding trade deals throughout that region and to the contrary, his desire to garner deeper support on north korea. so there have been mixed messages that many leaders are looking for clarity. you get a sense they will get that clarity in this trip? >> well, it's hard to know. there certainly have been mixed signals from the administration from trump's rhetoric to north korea to secretary straight tillerson talking about negotiations. the trade is a complicated one. you would think with the threat from north korea paramount thinking that cementing u.s. alliances in the region would be crucial and certainly what the president is doing with shinzo abe in japan is an important step in that direction.
2:11 am
in south korea, which is his next stop, it's a much more complex situation, not only because the south korean president has long favored dialogue and negotiation and engagement with north korea but also because even as president trump was trying to take a tougher line towards north korea, he was also questioning the u.s./south korea trade relationship and the free trade agreement that the two countries have. that is really an essential linchpin of the relationship and there are many in south korea who worry about the fact that the trade relationship is being called into question by an american president just when he ought to be further cementing the closest st allianof the all counter the north korean threat. >> mike chinoy, thank you for your perspective. president trump said he is likely to meet with the russian president vladimir putin during his trip and probably to take place at the apex summit in
2:12 am
vietnam. this comes as the investigation into russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election continues to heat up in washington. jim acosta has more on the impact of this trump/putin meeting that could take place. >> reporter: when you see trump and putin come face-to-face that image is going to reverberate around the world because, obviously, these are two men who, you know, you don't hear president trump talking about vladimir putin a great deal and one of the things -- one of the criticisms of president trump has come up time and again is that he just doesn't criticize vladimir putin very much and that has always been treated as a curiosity ever since donald trump was a candidate for president and now that he's been in office. and because of the russian investigation that is ramping up back in washington, this issue of russia is hanging over this president through this trip and just to see the two leaders together, i think, is going to make a great deal of news and
2:13 am
just be fascinating to watch because of that undercurrent that is really just a part of this administration day in and day out. >> jim acosta following the president in tokyo. a senior white house official says that north korea will be the main topic of discussion with a trump/putin meeting. it could be another step. the king of saudi arabia has started a crackdown on corruption starting at the talk. details ahead. this hour, the relative stability of lebanon. it is at risk. pointing the fingers at iran and saudi arabia, ahead. as cnn pushes on. have gum probl, and could be on the journey to much worse. try parodontax toothpaste. it's clinically proven to remove plaque, the main cause of bleeding gums. for healthy gums and strong teeth. leave bleeding gums behind with parodontax toothpaste.
2:14 am
2:15 am
2:16 am
crackdown on corruption on his government. it's part of a new anti-corruption committee headed by the crown prince. this move is said to consolidate security powers for the prince who is also saudi arabia's defense minister. now let's bring in our emerging markets editor. john has covered kauthis story many years. john, is this mainly about corruption or as we pointed out,
2:17 am
more about consolidating power? >> i think it's a mixture of both, george. first and foremost, many are asking why do we care about this? we have to remind ours that saudi arabia is a close ally of this white house and in particular president trump who came in and signed multiple contracts worth over 100 billion in defense and 300 billion the next ten years. saudi arabia is fight ago proxy war over yemen right now and the number one exporter of oil and $60 a barrel internationally. the prince wants to tackle corruption and consolidate power. this is quite sweeping. we have 11 princes on the docket being investigationed and a number of foreign ministers of the cabinet and a slew of international business people, some known as well as such as prince talib. we are waiting for confirmation of all this. the crown prince in may came
2:18 am
into power, he signaled back then that he wants to tackle corruption and he did not mince his words. take a listen. >> translator: i assure you that no one involved in a corruption case will be spared, no matter if he is a prince or a minister with enough evidence anyone will be held accountable. >> once again, the crown prince mentioned another prince in talou affiliated with the bin laden group. one was known well known in the washington community in the world bank and being signaled, as well as other billionaires, part of the saudi community well-known outside the middle east. this is raising a number of eyebrows on the weekend he announced the anti-corruption campaign. he came down like a hammer with well-known names, particularly from the former king abdullah who passed in 2015.
2:19 am
hence to your point, george, the consolidation of power. >> stay with us, john. we are following new developments on the ongoing conflict of saudi arabia and houthi rebels. they say they shot down a missile aimed at the airport in riyadh. we understand no one injured but the debris was found near the airport and the missile fired by the houthis who have attacked saudi arabia in the past. first time that a heavily populated area was targeted. saudi arabia then retaliated with an air strike in another area. in this continuing conflict, john, a sense that saudi arabia could be targeted with a little more sophistication, that these major population centers are at greater risk from the houthis? >> george, yeah, a bold move targeting the capital of riyadh. a population of better than 5 million poem aeople and interced by a patriot missile and no real
2:20 am
damage but debris was near the airport which i flew into last week. definitely a number of alarms. they suggest they have been doing investigates on the whereabouts of the influence of iran on the missile technology in yemen. they back the houthis there and they took credit for the tack and say it was intercepted after all. the crown prince in his consolidation of power, when he came in, george, he said he is not going to back down on yemen. they see it as a line in the sand to limit iran's influence. lebanon, syria, iraq as well and try in the prime minister of the administration who said he is getting squeezed by saudi arabia and iran right now. >> john, thank you very much for the reporting there. speaking of lebanon.
2:21 am
the prime minister has resigned saying he fears for his own life. he is lebanon. iran support hezbollah. ian lee is following this story live in jerusalem this hour. what has been the israeli reaction the fact the lebanese prime minister has resigned? >> reporter: george, israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu wasted no time releasing a statement about this saying the resignation of the prime minister is a wake-up call to the international community to take action against the iran aggression and that that is trying to turn syria into a second lebanon. this endangers israeli, the entire middle east, the international community needs to unite and confront this
2:22 am
aggression. these are words we have heard from the israeli prime minister before. he sees iran as their chief rival in the region and he has expressed concern as iran has expanded its influence into iraq, into syria. as you also have lebanon where hezbollah is one of the largest militant groups in the region, one of the most competent and also has very close connections with iran and that is a main concern for israelis. i've spoken with generals here and they say it's not a matter of if, but when there is a next conflict between israeli and hezbollah. hezbollah gaining very valuable experience in the battle in syria. but iran has also said that this is all a farce orchestrated by the united states and saudi arabia to bring instability inside lebanon and that is something that, of course, the lebanese are very concerned about but as well as generals and officials here in israeli.
2:23 am
george? >> ian lee following the story live in jerusalem, thank you for the reporting today. earlier, i spoke with a chair of contemporary and i asked about the lebanese prime minister and the greater complications about the power rivalries. the former prime minister in lebanon and proxy in lebanon he could no longer lead, what do you make of this? >> well, i mean, i think, george, now lebanon is in the eye of the storm. the resignation of the prime minister hari is a political earthquake. keep in mind that hari played a role in the formation of government at the end of 2016. lebanon was not without a government two years before he came to lebanon and reached
2:24 am
basically conciliation with the other political rivals in lebanon. he is a modern political nationalist. he basically might take on -- my take on it he has reached the end of his patience. the political costs throughout hariri outwaited any benz of staying in the government and why he resigned. the political situation and the social situation in lebanon now is extremely, extremely serious. >> with yemen launching a missile into saudi arabia, is there a concern now that saudi arabia could be targeted with greater precision now? >> what we have witnessed, george, in the past a few weeks is that the houthi movement that controls the government in yemen, has been firing more and
2:25 am
more missiles on saudi arabia. this is the first ballistic missiles that almost reached the capital of saudi. almost 600 kilometers. yes, there is a major escalation and this will have tremendous implications on the situation in yemen itself because saudi arabia now feels extremely the urge to retaliate against the houthi movement that controls the government in sanaa. >> what we are seeing is the proxy war between saudi arabia and iran heat up essentially. >> i think you're absolutely correct. we are seeing now the reverberations of strategic throughout the middle east, in syria, iraq, lebanon. what saudi arabia is trying to do, george, is to counterbalance the spread of iranian influence in the region. saudi arabia has become more muscular. it has become more active.
2:26 am
it's leading from the front as opposed from the behind. whether you're talking about lebanon or iraq or yemen. my take on it is the next few months are going to be extremely dangerous through the region because the geo strategic rival are intensifying and what has happened in lebanon in the past 48 hours tells me that we are going to see more tensions, not only in syria and iraq, but even in lebanon and other places as well. i mean, i think the end of isis, the so-called islamic state does not really mean the end of geo strategic struggles. on the contrary the dismantling of the so-called caliphate will intensify the struggles between the pro iran camp and led by iran, syria, lebanon and saudi arabia and allies in the region including the united states. >> a conversation i had with him the past hour. still ahead, tuesday saw the

2:30 am
welcome back to our viewers in the united states and all arpeds the woraround the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom." i'm george howell. the u.s. president donald trump in japan on the first stop after nearly two week long tour of asia. soon after his arrival, he went to a country club near tokyo to play golf with the japanese prime minister. president trump next travels to south korea. saudi arabia says that it
2:31 am
has intercepted a missile aimed at the capital city of riyadh. they blame houthi rebels in yemen for saturday's attack who says did not injure anyone there. in response saudi arabia launched an air strike on sanaa, yemen's capital. a committee cost several top ministers their jobs in saudi arabia. cnn has also learned multiple princes, ministers, and foreign ministers have been detained. the crown prince is headed up that committee, which is said to consolidate his security powers. he is also saudi arabia's defense minister. lebanon is facing a political vacuum after the c country's prime minister resigned. hariri fears for his life and blames iran. the saudi arabia backs hariri and which supports hezbollah. israeli called his resignation a, quote, a wake-up call to the
2:32 am
international community about iran. isis claims the suspect in the deadly attack in new york city tuesday was carried out bay soldier of the caliphate and we are learning much more now about the 29-year-old who authorities say drove a pickup truck on a one-mile killing spree. cnn's brian todd explains how the lone wolf terror suspect may have become radicalized. >> reporter: before he slaughtered eight people and got out of his rented truck yelling allaha akbar, saipov was not on any terror list or the suspect of any fbi occasions but she say he was likely connected to individuals who were the subjects of investigations and they offer another clue. >> he was associated with isis and he was radicalized domestically. >> reporter: they say saipov has lived in ohio, florida, and
2:33 am
paterson, new jersey. they don't know when he was radicalized in the united states. what is your best take on when he was radicalized? >> online and offline radical sayings and they hang out with people who embrace isis views. many cases, people radicalized because they have some personal issues, whether it could be family problems or, you know, job problems. >> reporter: this expert says the process of becoming radicalized means spending a lot of time online. >> now it's apps. very easy to download on your phone. most encrypted and you can get all sorts of information. you can interact with other people and you can run commitment to isis and get operational instructions. >> reporter: official believe saipov had close familiarity with operational instructions. >> he appears to have followed, almost exactly to a tee, the
2:34 am
instructions that isis has put out in its social media channels before with instructions to their followers on how to carry out such an attack. >> reporter: one of the most popular instruction manuals saipov might have read online? this one in the isis magazine last year. it discusses how to use rental trucks to attack crowds and inflict maximum casualties. . quote, vehicles are like knives, it said, and urges attackers to alliance of their terror group and an example of such would be writing on dozens of sheets of paper the islamic state will remain. very similar to a note officials say saipov left in his vehicle. >> the gist of the note was that the islamic state would endure forever. >> reporter: for isis, experts say lone wolves offer an easier way to strike at soft targets without the planning and skill used in attacks like paris. >> it doesn't have multiple pieces. you're not dealing with multiple cells or people that you have to coordinate with. you have to make sure that your
2:35 am
target is one that is p penetrable. >> reporter: it requires police and intelligence services to get into communities, to establish networks of families and neighborhood leaders to watch for signs of young people becoming radicalized and get to them before they are. but most law enforcement agencies, experts say, simply don't have the resources to move that far into communities. brian todd, cnn, washington. despite tuesday's terror attack, thousands of runners will face in the famous new york city marathon. that happens this day, of course, as planned. the city, though, is taking significant steps to boost its security. police are sending out helicopter patrols, snipers, and bomb sniffing dogs. they will also line the streets with blocking trucks to protect against vehicle attacks. in the next few hours, more than 50,000 runners will take to the streets in new york, but
2:36 am
will it be damp? our meteorologist ivan cabrera has the weather forecast there. >> yes, i think it will, george. there it will be drizzling and raw day with overcast skies but no records and good thing when you're running over 22 miles. 79 was the warmest we could find in 1979 and coldest was 1995. and wettest was 1997. it hasn't been particularly heavy but moderate showers. i think the heaviest of the rain offshore and beginning to happen as we have been talking about. on and off spotty showers through the early part of the day and if you get there early enough, certainly there will be a few light showers left over and then just more of a drizzly kind of day. i don't think the weather is the kind where it's impacting the race, right? just be more of a nuisance for folks to be outside with temps
2:37 am
in the 50s and some light rain early on and then a little bit of drizzle. winds from the east bringing in that moisture 5 to 10 miles an hour so an issue. well future forecast show rain through the north and further east. right downtown new york, i think, we are going to be just fine as the runners make it through towards central park by the time we get into -- depending on your level, right? the elite runners get there a little after 11:00 and dry at that point and temperatures will be approaching, if not touching, 60 degrees and then by 12:00, right around 60 and make it to the lower 60s for highs to date. update you on a fi foon getting numbers and dozens of folks still missing here in vietnam as a result of the one of the strongest. in fact, this was the strongest to hit vietnam since 2001. this had 165 kilometer winds and a little over a hundred miles per hour so the equivalent of a
2:38 am
category two hurricane in the atlantic. i'm showing you that not just to recap and let you know what is going on, but the draining is not over. the typhoon, itself, has vaporized here but we are getting onshore flow that is to areas that have picked up a lot of rain in the last couple of days so this is a flooding event. there you see da nang along the coast. another tropical cyclone is developing in thailand and this will be spinning its whoeels an stuck there the next few days and bringing heavy rainfall to the region. as we begin to wrap up the atlantic hurricane season in this part of the world, still sees plenty of activity right through the end of the year. >> ivan cabrera, thank you. in that part of the wolfrld in south korea, trump is not going to the dmz during this
2:39 am
trip, demilitarized zone. it happens almost every day. it's even possible for civilians to enter that country on a tour of the dmz or what is called the joint security area. and it does require an escort by u.s. troops. the question now -- what is it like to be face-to-face and eye-to-eye with north korean soldiers? my colleague brooke baldwin has this report. ♪ >> i visit north korea almost every day. >> reporter: is that crazy? >> a little crazy. >> reporter: say that again. you visit north korea? >> almost every day. >> reporter: almost every day? >> yes, ma'am. >> can you guys hear me now? right now we are heading to checkpoint three. the same rules apply. >> reporter: how do you explain to americans back in the states what you do day-to-day? >> i provide security for people that would like to come toward the dmz. i'm first class robertson.
2:40 am
before we get started i'll ask awe couple of questions. is anybody under the influence of drugs or alcohol at this time? no? does anyone foal like defecting towards north korea today? no? okay, cool. >> reporter: where do you live? where are we? >> the jsa is a joint security area. so, right now, i'm only about two kilometers away from north korea. i can hear propaganda music they play almost every night. can everyone hear me? welcome. all of the blue buildings belong to the united nations command and silver and gray along to kpa or north korea. if you would follow me please. >> reporter: this is when you walk over the line to north korea. >> the three microphones you see on the table are recorded and monitored 24 hours a day and they serve as an official military demarcation line inside of this building so those of you standing on my left are now
2:41 am
standing in communist north korea and on the right are safe with me in the republic of korea. >> reporter: what does it feel to stand in north korea, you guys? >> the same. >> reporter: feels the same. why did you want to join the army on veterans day? >> we do a parade in my hometown and the first time i went to the parade and seeing the guys walk the road in my town i had a lot of respect for them for the sacrifices they gave up. >> reporter: you are 19. >> yes, ma'am. >> reporter: prior to coming to south korea, had you ever left the country? >> no, ma'am. i've only been to maybe 13 states inside the united states but never been outside of the country. >> reporter: do you sometimes get homesick? >> i think everyone here would get a little homesick, but everyone here we are so close to each other so everyone here is willing to help out each other in a hard time. >> ready? >> i'm ready. >> there you go.
2:42 am
>> reporter: so it's friday night and you hit the gym. i mean, do you of think about what your friends back home would be doing on a friday night versus where we are sitting right now? >> i'm pretty confident my friends would still be going to the gym. i got to hang out with guys who lift all the time. >> reporter: what were you thinking when you're almost nose-to-nose with a north korean soldier? >> i had more played up in my head than i met them. >> reporter: really? >> in my head there were these warriors. >> reporter: and then when you saw them? >> when i saw them, all right, not what i had in mind but 5'2", a hundred pounds top. i'm like, okay. you guys are the ones because of the boogie man, right? nice to meet you. i am three times your size! so. >> reporter: do you feel like the tensions have increased between the sides? >> we always maintain a readiness here so it doesn't feel any different when tensions do rise or when they fall.
2:43 am
we are always ready in case something were to happen. >> reporter: what is your message to americans back home who are worried about americans like you so close to north korea? >> i would say to just pray for us, really. pray for the best, that no altercation will happen and hopefully, that something good will come out of this. checking back on the u.s. president's first stop in asia. mr. trump and the as soon as possible prime minister joined their wives for dinner and the president spoke with reporters. let's listen.
2:44 am
>> thank you very much for being here. we are in the midst of having discussions on many subjects, including north korea and trade, and other things. and we are doing very well. we are doing very well. the relationship is really extraordinary. we like each other. wen our countries like each other. and i don't think we have ever been closer to japan than we are right now. so it's a great honor. believe me. it's a great honor. we are going to have dinner tonight where i think we will insult everybody by continuing to talk about trade. but the time is a little bit limited. and then tomorrow is a very busy day. so thank you all for being here. we appreciate it. okay? thank you. thank you very much. >> the longest u.s. presidential trip to asia since 1992. mr. trump heading next to south
