the u.s. president says believes u.s. intelligence agencies but will stop short of pointing the finger at president putin over russian meddling of the plus protests in manila, as president trump arrives for the asean summit.

what we might see when we see the controversial leader, rodrigo duterte. plieflive from cnn headquar in atlanta, we want to welcome our viewers in the unit and arou around the world. all eyes on the philippines. because u.s. president donald trump has arrived in manila. while there, he will attend summits with southeast asian and east asian leaders and meet with philippine president rodrigo duterte. >> some headlines made earlier from hanoi, mr. trump says he wants to move on, rather, with talks from the russian election meddling. wants to move on from that. only hours before he had called

intelligence official ths politl hacks. he was asked if he believes the russian president vladimir putin was responsible and he had this to say. >> i believe that he feels that he and russia did not meddle in the election. as to whether i believe it or not, i'm with our agencies, especially as currently constituted with their leadership. i believe in our intel agencies, our intelligence agencies. i've worked with them very strongly. i want to be able, because i think it's very important to get along with russia. to get along with china. to get along with vietnam. to get along with lots of countries, because we have a lot of things we have to solve. and frankly, russia and china, in particular, can help us with the north korea problem, which is one of our truly great problems. so i'm not looking to stand and start arguing with somebody when there's reporters all around and cameras recording and seeing our conversation. i think it's very obvious to everybody, i believe that

president putin really feels, and he feels strongly, that he did not meddle in our election. what he believes is what he believes. what i believe is that we have to get to work. and i think everybody understood this, that heard the answer. we have to get to work to solve syria, to solve north korea, to solve ukraine, to solve terrorism. and, you know, people don't realize, russia's been very, very heavily sanctioned. they were sanctioned at a very high level. and that took place very recently. it's now time to get back to healing a world that is shattered and broken. those are very important things. and i feel that having russia in a friendly posture as opposed to always fighting with them is an asset to the world and an asset to our country, not a liability. >> a lot to cover here, and our cnn correspondents are on all angles of this presidential

visit. jeff zeleny live in hanoi, vietnam. our senior international correspondent, fred pleitgen. >> let's begin with jeff zeleny. we heard those comments, jeff, from president trump when he was speaking before reporters in hanoi. it's interesting that that trip, when he kind of met with the russian president that he made another strange connection, kind of aligning himself with vladimir putin, and then kind of stepping back from that. what was that about? >> reporter: natalie, there's no question that president trump would hike like to move on from questions of russian meddling in the 2016 election. he does indeed want to work with vladimir putin on north korea, first and foremost, in trying to resolve some type of diplomacy in syria.

but the reality is how president trump and the white house have chosen to handle the whole concept and idea of russian meddling in the election has hampered him from doing that. he has never unequivocally said that he believes there was russian middling in the 2016 election. he has gone a little step, he inched closer to that today by saying he actually agrees with his intelligence officials whose agencies have said there was russian meddling, but then he says, you know, that president putin believes what he believes. so the issue here is that president trump has been a bit hamstrung by his own doing on this. because from the very beginning of this year he has not wanted to accept the idea that there was meddling in the election, because he believes that would help invalidate the fact that he became president and beat hillary clinton a year ago. the reality is many republicans in washington and his own administration included wish he would have taken a harder line on that to set it off the table

so he could go forward with this. but again, a bit of a muddled response from the president on this russian meddling which still hangs over him wherever he goes and certainly his administration back in washington. >> so this trip, a very long trip, has got him away from washington, looking for things to take back to the u.s. big picture, what has he gained? he has asked for better trade deals that favor america first and at the same time demanding a united front from the region on north korea. how has that been viewed? >> reporter: look, i think he has made his case as he has traveled across this journey for more than a week now. he has certainly measured his tone generally on north korea. he's tried to enlist the help if from china and other partners in the region against confronting north korea. he's strengthened his relationship with leaders in this area, no question, but at the end of the day, what he has gotten out of it, i'm not sure we know the answer to that yet. in many respects he's been

flattered along the way. world leaders here are taking cues from other world leaders and are definitely warming him up and flattering him. we saw that in china more than anything else. but we do not know if there will be any tangible evidence or, you know, outtake from this. the reality here, this america-first agenda is leaving the u.s. behind in issues of trade and other areas here, so we cannot yet call this visit a success, because we'll see if anything comes beyond the pictures and pomp and pageantry. >> he's on his final stop right there. >> let's now bring in fred pleitgen, following the story from moscow. russia looking on at what's happening here. president trump saying that he wants to move on from the questions of russian meddling and as jeff just described it, giving a muddled response on that to say the least. but trying to pivot, saying that he is in a better position to make that happen. i want you to listen to mr.

trump, something that he said on this, and we can talk about it here on the other side. >> hillary clinton had the reset button. she wanted to get back together with russia. she even spelled "reset" wrong. that's how it started. and then it got worse. president obama wanted to get along with russia, but the chemistry wasn't there. getting along with other nations is a good thing. not a bad thing. believe me. it's a good thing. not a bad thing. >> okay, but the reality, fred, here in the united states, there are investigations ongoing, digging into questions about whether there was collusion, whether there was any meddling in the 2016 u.s. election. so, from the russian point of view, given this president's statement just a moment ago, saying that he's the person to help make for better relations, is there a sense that there is a chance for that to happen? >> reporter: well, i certainly think that the russians, george, are grasping onto a chance

whether it's there or not. listening to that sound bite we had earl grier from president tp talking about president putin and whether he believed intelligence or not. that is music to the russians' ears. they're saying there was no formal meeting between president trump and president putin. however, the informal meeting made up for that. they point to syria as major progress and a sign that these leaders do see eye to eye on certain questions. then you have that question, whether president trump believes his intelligence services or the president on russia on whether or not there was russian meddling in the u.s. election. i want to read you from the task news service. when asked a statement, trump says though he relies on intelligence services, he considers it necessary to get along with russia and china. so the bottom line here, russian

media, russian politicians are saying the president, the u.s. president clearly wants better relations with russia. they say they're ready for it. they say they're ready for it as well. they obviously feel there are a lot of forces in washington that are trying to impede all of that. they certainly are grasping onto this and some of the things they've heard at the apec summit and in hanoi, and the russians have been very, very active in social media and the media this sunday morning near moscow. it's something they wanted to hear and something they believe there is a possible chance maybe not to overcome the problems that are there fwou make sobut inroads forward. and as we mentioned, the president has just arrived in the philippines. his plane touched down about ten minutes ago. matt rivers is here to cover that part of the story. and big question is, how does the u.s. president approach the strong man leader of the

philippines who has been condemned for his human rights practices? >> reporter: yeah, this is certainly going to be the meeting that attracts the most attention during president trump's time in manila. we're aof course talking about h his meeting with president duterte. in large part about his war on drugs. in the last year or so, the duterte administration has waged a merciless wash againr against. filipino drugs are well overcrowded by people who have been put in jail. and there have been extra-judicial killings, and human rights groups around the world have condemned the duterte strigs fo administration for those extra judicial killings, and it's lost

thousands and thousands of lives. in terms of how the trump administration deals with the duterte administration, donald trump does plan to bring up the human rights issue. but on the flip side, we're hearing that both menn enjoy a warm rapport. president duterte has said that president trump has praised him for his fight against drugs. so the big concern here for human rights groups is that if the president of the united states does not strongly condemn or even bring up this issue with the president of the philippines, then that in essence gives the president of the philippines a pass to continue to do what he's doing. we know the president of the philippines is extremely sensitive to people bringing up this controversy, criticizing him, so will president trump do that? the white house says he will. but how strongly he will do that and take on the duterte administration remains to be seen. >> and what will the due tetert

administration's response be? of all the countries mr. trump visited, the one getting all the attention is the one i did not visit, north korea. president trump traded insults with kim jong un. tweeting why would kim jong un insult me by calling me old when i would never call him short and fat. he adds, i try so hard to be his friend. maybe that will happen. mr. trump elaborated on that a bit while in vietnam. >> strange things happen in life. that might be a strange thing to happen. but it's certainly a possibility. if that did happen, it would be a good thing for, i can tell you, for north korea. but it would also be good for lots of other places, and it would be good for the world. so certainly, it is something that could happen. i don't know that it will, but it would be very, very nice if it did. >> president trump called on all nations to stop doing business with north korea.

he also reiterated that the u.s. wants a peaceful end to the tension with north korea. >> all responsible nations must act now to ensure that north korea's rogue regime stops threatening the world with unthinkable loss of life. safety and security are goals that should unite all civilized nations. we want progress. not provocation, i mean, we, we have been provoked. the world has been provoked. we don't want that. we want stability. not chaos. and we want peace, not war. >> the president had a lot to say during this trip, the longest presidential visit since the 1990s to this region, and it's put him in front of many world leaders in that part of the world. going forward now, the question, will this improve mr. trump's standing within the region. let's bring in daniel pinkston from troy university, live via

skype in seoul, south korea. good to have you with us at this hour. first a broad view here. the u.s. president focussed on resetting the stage with these nations, resetting it with bilateral trade agreements, seek being greater support regarding north korea. on these fronts, has the president had success? >> well, i'll tackle the north korea question first. in northeast asia, the constraints that are operating on all actors, they're very robust. no one can change the status quo unilaterally. everyone is constrained, although everyone is dissatisfied. everyone's unhappy with north korean behavior. so that's going to continue, regardless of what president trump says. on the trade issue, the bilateral approach the president is pursuing, i think is wrongheaded and ill-conceived. it's something that might have worked in the 1970s or 1980s.

35 years ago most countries in the region, their greatest trade partner was the united states. but now that has changed. most of their trade and investment is with china. and in fact most of their trade is embedded in supply chains. so they need that multi-lateral agreement, they don't need the u.s. so i think that's a failed approach. >> one place where some of the nations do rely on the united states is to be a counterweight against china. one of those nations, vietnam, for sure, with regards to the south dchina sea, and we heard n instance where president trump offered to help in a way. let's listen. we can talk about it on the other side. >> south china sea, we're looking at, we're looking at together. please let me know. we've had a dispute quite a while with china. if i can help if any way. i'm a very good mediator and arbitrator. i have done plenty of it from both sides, so if i can help

you, let me know. >> and that is part of his style. he is a president who will pat himself on the back with his abilities, especially as a businessman. he says he's a good mediator, able to help with this. the way that it was offered and the offer itself, what are your thoughts? >> oh, it's difficult to react. i see as gaslighting and incoherent blather. there is a process for settling international maritime disputes. there's the law of the sea, there's a process for that. it's not set by the head of state of one country. the best approach would be for the united states is that tsena ratify the clause and have a seat in the u.n. to demarcate and delineate lines in the sea that are contested so there's a process for doing that. you know, trump saying he's going to do this. i'm kind of speechless,

actually. >> let me ask you though, from the perspective of many voters in the u.s. who elected donald trump to do just that, to take a different approach, which we've seen and now seen president trump make an offer that did seem out of the norms for what we've seen from predecessors. do you get a sense that this could be something that would be a welcome or open to world leaders? or is this something as you point out is just out of the norm? >> well, it's difficult for me to make sense of his statements regarding international affairs and foreign policy. the only way i can make sense of it is that it's directed at his domestic audience and supporters, an uninformed audience. those at the international level hear this and it's obvious that his lack of expertise and knowledge in international affairs, it's glaringly obvious, and it makes the president and the united states look very

weak. >> daniel pinkston, thanks, live four us for us in seoul, south korea. still ahead, the republican candidate for an empty u.s. senate seat is confronted by serious allegations of sexual misconduct from decades ago. we'll discuss how that might affect roy moore's chances. stay with us. a soft wavy bristle brush for a feathery-soft lash experience. voluptuous volume. intense length. take your lashes to paradise. new lash paradise mascara. from l'oreal paris.

the church where a man carried out the deadliest mass shooting ever in texas will reopen as a memorial on sunday. the first baptist church of sutherland springs is helping volunteers and zifirst responde. 25 people and an unborn child were shot to death a week ago. >> go tin the meantime, the ex- of the suspected shooter says he constantly threatened her and she lived in fear. devin kelley obtained weapons legally. it is a sad reality in the united states, but many people go to places of worship fearing that they could hsalso become targets of another mass shooting. >> worshippers are taking it upon themselves to protect their churches. >> so you put it in there one time. >> reporter: will chadwick is training me.

like he has hundreds of others. >> you need to embrace the advantage of be being better than the bad guy. >> reporter: so are you carrying a gunnen on sundays? >> absolutely. pastor brian olch is a gatekeeper. >> we have a responsibility to every single member that walk noose a safe haven, that walks into a place of worship and wanting a place of peace to provide the protection. >> reporter: will and his dad chuck created the gatekeeper program more than a decade ago just outside dallas. >> it was so hard in those early years to get somebody to spend $20 on a subscription to our website. now we have thousands and thousands of churches that are part of our national organization. >> reporter: and in the last week, following the deadliest shooting in a u.s. house of

worship, their phone has been ringing off the hook. from new york to hawaii, churches call, wanting to learn how to protect themselves. >> we take people who have absolutely no experience, and we pride ourselves on really being able to hone these skills. >> reporter: in a six-day course, they say volunteers are taught defensive tactics modeled around professional security and law enforcement standards but tailored to challenges a church ministry could face, like thousand act with an unruly parishioner, and how to use a gun against an active shooter. >> being able to place your mind in there and see how you're going to react is important. >> reporter: there's a psychological evaluation and background check too. pastor olch like many other gatekeepers didn't have any prior security training. seven years ago, his church discussed hiring a private security company. but they needed more. ? wh >> when you look at the outside

private security sector, they have dynamic resources, but they don't know your congregation, the heartbeat of the ministry. but when you look at bringing your volunteers, they know your campus, your community, your members. they can identify things that don't hook rig don't look right. >> reporter: how do you believe the events at the first baptist church could have been different? >> when i observed it, i thought, i sure wish they had a gatekeeper. >> reporter: dallas, texas, cnn. the alabama republican running for senate has hit a major road broolock. >> on saturday, judge roy moore spoke about the allegation against him. >> the "washington post" established or published, rather, yet another attack on my character and reputation. in a desperate attempt to stop

my political campaign for the united states senate. these attacks involve a minor, and they are completely false and untrue. my opponent is 11 points behind. that came out just days before this article came out. they're desperate. this article is a prime example of fake news. we do not intend to let the democrats or the established republicans or anybody else behind this story stop this campaign. >> smear campaign our not? o or was it women finally saying what they know about this snan we'll have the developments coming up right after this.

and welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom." i'm natalie allen. >> and i'm george howell. u.s. president donald trump is in manila, the philippine capital, and it is the fifth and final stop of his asian tour. earl ye earlier in hanoi, he spoke out about the russian meddling in the u.s. election in 2016. mr. trump clarified his remarks and said he believes russian president vladimir putin is sincere in his denials. listen. >> i believe that he feels that he and russia did not meddle in the election. as to whether i believe it or not, i'm with our agencies, especially as currently

constituted with our leadership. i believe in our intel agencies, our intelligence agencies. i've worked with them very strongly. there weren't 17 as was previously reported. there were actually four. but they were saying there were 17. there were actually four. but as currently led by fine people, i believe very much in our intelligence agencies. >> after trading insults on twitter, president trump spoke out on north korea while in vietnam. mr. trump said a relationship with north korea's leader, kim jong un, would be a positive thing. however, he said the north's provocations stand in the way of that happening. >> we want progress. not provocation. i mean, we, we have been provoked. the world has been provoked. we don't want that. we want stability. not chaos. and we want peace, not war. >> in iraq, a number of mass

graves have been discovered in kirkuk province. they contain the remains of at least 400 civilians executed by isis. the governor of kirkuk is calling on iraqi government and the u.n. commission on human rights to conduct dna tests to identify the victims. here in the united states, the senate candidate, roy moore of alabama is slamming allegation of misconduct against him almost 40 years ago. he calls it a desperate attempt to stop the campaign. >> but at least one of moore's former colleagues says it was k common knowledge back then that he dated high school girls. we get the latest from alex marquardt in alabama. >> reporter: roy moore has come out swinging in his first set of public r public remarks since the allegation, saying they were completely untrue, there was never any type of sexual

misconduct. he says it is unbelievable that they are coming out weeks before this special election and almost 40 years after the fact. >> i've been investigated more than almost any person in this country. to think that grown women would wait 40 years to come right before an election to bring charges is absolutely unbelievable. >> reporter: why now? that is the refrain, the question that we keep hearing from the candidate, the campaign, and his many supporters. is this part of a smear campaign by these women just a few weeks before the election? is it being backed up by democrats? establishment republicans? they don't know, but they see a conspiracy theory here. they say they don't see any proof. and until then they want him to stay in the race and they believe he can win. we've been digging more into his past, people who knew judge roy moore, specifically one woman, theresa jones who worked

alongside moore when he was a young assistant deputy attorney. she says it was common knowledge that he dated high school girls. everyone we knew thought it was weird. we wondered why someone his age would hang out at high school football games and at the mall and you really wouldn't say anything to someone hilike that. if they come forward it could cause a huge problem for the moore campaign >> for analysis, we're joined by the author of "despot accomplished." let's first start with this judge. judge moore goes back decades in controversial rulings, as a judge on gays, for example, he has said that their lifestyle is criminal, and he's implied that gay people are child predators, and now he's accused of being a

child predator and has no plans to quit in his pursuit to be a u.s. senator. how might this end? >> well, roy moore is unfit to be senator. that's clear. it was clear before the allegations came out as well. he called the criminalized homosexuality. and talked about how muslims should not be allowed to serve in congress, which is antithetical to what the country is founded on. this is a huge disaster for the republican party. it shows the rot at the core of the party. and if he loses, it means that the democrats pick up a seat in a place that should be a safe seat for republicans. if he wins it could signal a much more aggressive backlash against republicans in the midterm elections. >> alabama is the most conservative state in the country. democrats don't find victory there. but is moore's thumbing his nose

at washington here another sign of the erosion of powerful washington-based inch -- institutions? >> the idea that people don't believe newspaper reports and trust their instincts or who they like based on partisan affiliation is damaging. it's called motivated reasoning where you fit the facts to fit your narrative. in this situation, it's a well-sourced credible report by several women coming forward, so i think in this instance, it's clear that he already was unfit. he is even more unfit after these allegation, and i hope that the voters of alabama will not make this a part isan issue but about principles and reject moore at the ballot box. >> if moore does get in and alabama is very conservative, he may still wenin.

many have indicated they don't want him to serve in the senate. >> well, there's two layers to this. one is the immediate political cost. there's going to be a much harder push for tax reform, tax cuts if you have a 51/49 margin. beyond that, this is just a stunning turn of events of an awful week for the republican party. on tuesday, there was a mass repudiation of trumpism at the ballot box. then we had a story about trump's former national security advi adviser being investigated for a plot to kidnap somebody. trump's recipient of the tweets calling him big and fat. and now roy moore. so trump's destruction of the republican party is ongoing, and this is just an absolutely

disastrous week for them on all fronts. >> we'll wait and follow the developments there in alabama. thank you for joining us. >> thanks for having me. they didn't know their adult children, addicted to opioids were still alive until they saw a report here on cnn about them. next, what a father is doing till his daughter gets help. every morning, i thought i had to make a choice. do i use a toothpaste that whitens my teeth or one... ...that's good for my teeth? now i don't have to choose!

is now living on the streets with her refusing to leave until she gets help. >> i woke up to my dog licking my face. and i saw my dad, and i said what are you doing? i said i'm not leaving until you go to the hospital or get help. >> reporter: is your daughter breaking your heart? >> of course she is. >> i check on him a hundred times during the night. and seeing him. >> reporter: you're checking on him, but you're the one who really needs the help. >> that's how i am. i always take care of other people. >> she wants to help others before she'll felle help herself. >> reporter: as paul tries to convince his daughter to leave the streets and seek treatment, billy's mother walks out of the house with some of her son's sentimental belongings for a special delivery. billy has decided to get treatment. some of billy's friends who saw

our original story convinced him to enter this facility in fall river, massachusetts. she's making this delivery hoping this time treatment for billy works. she had talked to him on the phone for the first time in many months the night before. >> reporter: what did you say to billy when you called? >> i told him that i loved him and he said i know. and he said i love you too. >> reporter: how did that make you feel? >> like i was dancing on top of the moon. >> reporter: meanwhile, megan remained on the street, among the dozens of other heroin addicts. she loves her father and wants him not to worry anymore. but. can you go into treatment? >> i want to go. >> reporter: why don't you go? >> one moment i really want it, and the next, i'm like, i'll go later. i'm procrastinator. >> reporter: we said good-bye to megan as she, her dad and her

quality in delhi fell to hazardous levels. and right behind me is the presidential palace. more than 300 rooms. you can barely see anything. it's not just what you can and can't see. you can taste the filth hanging in the air. it makes you feel ill. just ask this traffic cop who's been on duty all week, working 12-hour days in the pollution. it makes our eyes burn, and it's difficult to breathe, he says. the smog comes every year when the temperature drops, wind speeds fall, and a mix of drain ru drain -- dangerous pollutants fill the air. this street worker, for him, the pollution means watery eyes but a way to make more money. me and my friends, we used to sell balloons, he says, but the pollution is so bad that we switched to selling masks. two days ago we got 1,000

pieces. we've already sold 700. but it's not easy. he works at one of the most polluted traffic junctions in the city. by the time i get home, he says, everything smells of smoke. believe it or not, this isn't the worst it's been this week. at one point, it was almost 40 times what the world health organization deemed safe. now i'm at a busy market in the center of town. and i have a portable meter with me that tells me how bad the air really is. blue is good. purple is hazardous. and look, we're still at hazardous. cnn, new delhi. >> wow. how about that? they were selling balloons, now they're selling masks. despite the smog, india on the whole is on track to meet the goals of the paris climate change agreement, that according to a recent carbon emissions

report. >> this comes as al gore attends u.n. talks on climate change in germany. u.s. president trump said the united states will withdraw from the paris accord, but gore says american businesses remain committed to that agreement. >> the leading experts in the united states are telling us that the u.s. is on track to meet and exceed the paris commitments regardless of what tweets or statements come from the white house. partly because all of these companies -- here are 110 companies that have announced a commitment to 100% renewable energy. >> now that syria has pledged to sign the peace agreement, the u.s. will be the only country not to. all right, let's talk about the dangerous smog in new delhi. our meteorologist derek van dam

is here. the situation seems to be getting worse. >> yeah, it has. within the last 24 hours. there is this index we keep referring to, called aqi. we were reporting yesterday on numbers in the 5 hundreds. now it's jumped to 700. it's off the charts hazardous. how do you quantify that? you can siee visually what they're dealing w aith and the ozone near the surface level. smog contains this mixture of emissions and pollutants that exacerbates respiratory problem, coughing and throat and chest irritation. if you're an asthmatic, you know, you've been to a busy metropolitan city and you've felt the effects of pollution. i can speak on my own behalf, be being an asthmatic myself and going to new delhi, los angeles,

and that thick haze, you can only spend so much time outside before you start to wheeze. think about the environmental damage that smog and air pollutants does, altering the balance of nutrients in our ecosystems, damage being the agriculture and the aesthetic damage. we showed the video a moment ago, showing how some of these landmarks that we go to these cities to see, particularly, obstructed by the smog and pollutants. who wants to go and see that, right? let's break it down. talk about the composition of these particles that are polluting the air so badly. there are about 2.5 microns in diameter, very, very small. and that is why these particles can get stuck within your lungs. that is why it's so hazardous to people were respiratory problems, children or the elderly. here's the aqi index air quality index for new delhi. 709. that is beyond the index values. that's way beyond hazardous and

very unhealthy. it's other locations also reporting hazardous, hazardous breathing conditions at the moment according to the aqi index. just a quick update across the united states. cold snap of air continues this morning. yeah, you're waking up in new york with more record temperatures. they had broken two morning record lows in a row. everyone feeling it from chicago to detroit all the way to the big apple. chances of snowflakes today, and it is only mid november. >> thanks. >> thank you for watching "cnn newsroom." for viewers in the united states, "new day" is next. for others, erin burr ninett. >> see you later. what started as a passion...
