talk about the death and destruction caused by people who shouldn't be here. people who will continuously get into trouble and do bad things. >> the u.s. president flips the script, talking about americans who have been killed by undocumented immigrants, still remaining silent on the fate of thousands of immigrant children. plus, cnn gets exclusive access inside one immigrant housing center that has been sheltering some of those children who have been separated from their parents. and ahead, neymar skoer a ae first world cup, the final whistle. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, we want to welcome viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell. "cnn newsroom" starts right now.
2:01 am
5:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. the trump administration says 500 families who crossed the u.s.-mexico border have been reunited. thousands of others are in facilities around the country. in many cases, their parents still have no idea where they are. on friday, two days after saying he didn't like the sight or feeling of families being separated and after issuing an executive order to stop it, mr. trump tweeted this, quote, "we cannot allow our country to be overrun by illegal immigrants as the democrats tell their phony stories of sadness and grief." you will remember the president's words about migrants crossing the southern border when he announced his campaign for the office, grossly overgeneralizing he said this, quote, they're bringing drugs,
2:02 am
they're bringing crime, they're rapists. on friday, he returned to that theme against the backdrop of his zero-tolerance policy and family separations as our boris sanchez reports for you. >> reporter: president trump met with people who have lost loved ones at the hands of undocumented immigrants as the white house tries to shift the focus of the immigration debate away from thousands of immigrant children separated from their parents. >> these are the american citizens permanently separated from their loved ones. the word "permanently" being the word that you have to think about, permanently. because they were killed by criminal aliens -- >> reporter: trump used the occasion yet again to blame opponents -- >> why is the condemnation of the democrats, sanctuary cities that release violent criminals into our communities and protect them? >> reporter: building off a familiar refrain dating back to first day of his campaign, trump
2:03 am
suggesting immigrants entering the united states are more dangerous than u.s. citizens. >> i always hear, oh, no, the population's safer than the people that live in the country. you've heard that, right? hear so much and say, is that possible? the answer is it's not true. >> reporter: the border patrol president saying the broad description doesn't match reality. >> he makes it sound like almost all of the people coming in are killers, rapists, or drug dealers. >> if he's purposely trying to do that, that's not true. the vast majority of the victims that we encounter are very polite, respectful individuals. it's about 20% that we deal with that have records. >> reporter: republicans are still uncertain as to what's next. >> what i would like is for the president to have the same message -- the message that when he talked to us behind closed
2:04 am
doors versus the message in terms of talking to the american people. >> reporter: after saying there was no way he would sign an executive order ending family separations -- >> you can't do it through executive order -- >> reporter: wednesday he did that and told congress to follow suit. >> we're also wanting to go through congress. we will be going through congress. we're working on a much more comprehensive bill. >> reporter: trump appeared to dismiss the idea altogether tweeting, quote, republicans should stop wasting their time on immigration. leaving some house republicans who have been working for weeks on a compromise immigration bill deflated. >> game over. it takes the wind out of sails in what might have been a fairly productive week in terms of looking for a compromise without the president being out front or having legislators' backs. there's no way they would take the risks inherent in a major reform bill. >> reporter: though president trump has long bashed democrats, claiming they are politicizing the issue of immigration, if you look closely at that tweet we
2:05 am
mentioned, the second half of it reads as a call to action to his supporters to head to the polls in november and vote for a red wave to head into congress over the issue of immigration. boris sanchez, cnn, at the white hous house. chief diplomatic correspondent in europe for "the new york times" live via skype with us from brussels. always a pleasure to have you on the show. let's talk about the president focusing it the terrible stories, the loss of these angel families. using it, however, to change the narrative from the painful images, the sounds, and stories we've all heard of children being separated. does this approach gain traction? >> well, i'll tell you, george, this is a very depressing set of stories. it's depressing on every side. the president is clearly sees this issue as a vote winner. it's all about taking back
2:06 am
control of a border. the fact is the number of migrants coming to the united states has been falling, fallinfal fallifalling -- falling regularly. it's fallen under mr. trump. most of the people who come war not criminals, and the united states's population is aging. >> the president tweeted telling republicans to stop wasting time on the immigration issue until after the november midterms. is he being overly optimistic that he can manage the burgeoning tide of the story between now and then? >> i think he feels that his voters like what he's saying as exaggerated as it is, and like what he's doing although he's doing less than he says, and they like the cruelty expressed on the border. they think this is what trump was elected to do. i think he wants the republicans to leave it alone because he's
2:07 am
afraid it will be watered down as an issue before the midterm. this is something i think, you know, along with raising tariffs and things like that, where mr. trump believes he's speaking to his base, which wants american interests first, which feels the country's being overrun, which it isn't, and is nervous about jobs and identity. mr. trump, it's all about votes, not about policy. >> finally, sit back for a moment on a tale two of narratives, listen the echo chamber, selling of the president's message by fox news, not their journalists. with respect i separate them from that. but let's listen to this -- >> more kids are being separated from their parents. and temporarily housed in what
2:08 am
are essentially summer camps. >> they will suppress the good news on the economy, promote chdren in cages -- >> no matter what they tell you, this is not about helping children. their goal is to change your country forever. >> like it or not, these aren't ours kids, show compassion. it's not like he's doing there to the people of idaho or texas. these are people from another country. >> i spoke to african-americans who say, gosh, the conditions at the detention centers are better than some the projects i grew up in. >> not sure which african-americans she spoke with. not all of us grew up in a project. it does seem clear to me that these are cages in these detention centers, these are not summer camps. the host who suggested these are not our kids later tried to apologize, but the question to you here, the echo chamber, the two narratives, is it finding it hard to sell this mention? >> we are very, very divided as
2:09 am
a country. we are a very emotional country. somehow our politics have become ugly in their language and lack of humanity. you know, i'm not commenting on fox. these are people with their opinions. they have every right to have their opinions. but they -- they show a kind of lack of basic human decency that personally i think some people include something republicans find little hard to swallow. >> we appreciate your time and perspective. thank you. >> thanks. important to point out, this policy of separating children from their families, it has been happening for decades, well before president trump. but rapidly accelerated under his zero-tolerance policy. the u.s. government estimates it now holds nearly 12,000 immigrant minors. those children are often moved without notice among more than
2:10 am
100 youth detention centers across 17 different states. these facilities are contracted with the u.s. office of refugee resettlement which is responsible for the children's whereabouts and their welfare. disturbing allegations, though, of abuse have been filtering out of some of the detention centers. they include unsanitary conditions, invasive monitoring of phone and mail, and unair conditioned rooms in the summer and forcibly giving the children powerful mood-altering drugs, often described as vitamins. one civil rights attorney says the conditions the children must endure is appalling. >> the care they shift is shocking. what we have witnessed shocks my conscience. and i have to repeatedly remind myself that this is actually happening in our country. >> one of the many facilities
2:11 am
taking in these migrant children is in bristow, virginia. not far from washington. our brian todd was given an exclusive access to it. >> reporter: typically three boys to a room? a room for three immigrant boys who had a harrowing journey. 46 boys live in this 18-bedroom house. many have to be taught some of the most basic life skills. >> they do it all. they know how to wash clothes, do laundry. >> reporter: this is part of a 200-plus-acre campus operated by a nonprofit called youth for tomorrow. it's in bristow, virginia, about 30 miles outside washington. it was founded by former washington redskins coach joe gibbs in 1986. and one of its primary roles is to house unaccompanied immigrant minors. today it's also sheltering children separated from their parents at the border because of president trump's zero-tolerance policy. many arrive here in an extremely fragile emotional state. >> they have been physically
2:12 am
beaten, many of the girls have been sex trafficked and sexually abused, sexually exploited. many of the boys have been threatened with their lives if they don't sell drugs. >> reporter: cnn got exclusive access inside the facility. due to federal law, we were not allowed to film any children or even to talk to them off camera. officials here say that if images. these children are shown to the public, they could be targeted by gangs or human traffickers. most of the more than 100 immigrant children here are between 10 and 17 years old, all ahn uaccompanied. there are inhadnfants here -- >> two teen girls come, they will be able to help. we are keeping the room for two of them. >> reporter: cnn reported extensively on abuse, neglect, and poor conditions in detention snil
2:13 am
facilities faced by children in the current wave of migration. officials at this group home want to show another side of that story, a place that takes pride in caring for the most vulnerable and traumatized of the recent immigrants. georgia senator tim kaine was coming out of the facility as we entered. >> this is a high-quality program. >> these are all girls homes for domestic and immigrant children. >> reporter: there are ten spacious complexes, a library, soccer field and gym. the immigrant children are housed and schooled here but are kept separate from american children. the american children are troubled. many have criminal backgrounds and behavioral problems. the work here for staff members is challenging, tough, and emotionally exhausting. all channelled toward one goal -- >> our goal with every immigrant child is to reunite them with family in america. we are parents to those children until they are reunited with someone in the family.
2:14 am
>> reporter: advocates for the children and political leaders have said it will be extremely difficult to reunite separated children with their families. some have said that some of the children will never be reunited. officials here say they have a 99% success rate in reuniting the immigrant children here with some members of their families in the united states. brian todd, cnn, bristow, virginia. >> thank you for that report. still ahead, the european union has retaliated hard against american tariffs on steel and aluminum. and now president trump is hitting back. plus, turkish voters prepare for a crucial election. what's at stake as they choose a president. let's get started. show of hands. who wants customizable options chains? ones that make it fast and easy to analyze and take action? how about some of the lowest options fees? are you raising your hand? good then it's time for power e*trade the platform, price and service that gives you the edge you need. alright one quick game of rock, paper, scissors.

2:17 am
president trump is doubling down on his trade fight with europe. friday he threatened to impose steep tariffs on european products. we have more from claire sebastian. >> reporter: it was a at this time tit for tat playing out in realtime and in public. first eu tariffs on $3.2 billion worth of u.s. goods came into force friday. that was widely expected and telegraphed. peanut butter, bourbon, denim, motorcycles, american products from politically critical states designed to hit the u.s. where it hurts. now the eu was retaliating for the trump administration's tariffs on steel and aluminum.
2:18 am
the trump administration, though, doesn't see is that way. within hours, president trump had tweeted this -- based on the tariffs and barriers on the u.s. and contracts with the european union, if these tariffs and barriers are not soon broken down and removed, we will be placing a 20% tariff on all of their cars coming into the u.s. build them here. it's not the first time the trump administration has dangled the prospect of car tariffs. back in may they opened an investigation into weather pregnant -- into whether it threatened the u.s. european carmakers already being hit from all sides. daimler, maker of mercedes-benz, warned this week its profits would be hit by the u.s.-china tariffs. this could come back to bite the u.s. economy. european carmakers already manufacture many of their vehicles in the u.s. if their profits get hit, so will u.s. jobs. and a 20% tariff means the u.s.
2:19 am
consumer could be paying thousands of dollars more for a european car. however you look at it, this escalation is intensifying, and we could all end up paying the price, cnn money, new york. >> thank you. turkey is preparing for sunday's landmark elections when voters go to the polls to elect both a president and a new parliament. the president there, erdogan, is hoping secure another victory to usher in a new system of government, one that scraps the prime minister role and gives the president sweeping new powers. we spoke to some of mr. erdogan's die hard supporters. listen. translator: there is freedom in this country, there is services, peace, stability. roads, airports, and hospitals. this is a public health together with his people. therefore, i wish him all the success. >> translator: we use our head scarves, we go to mosques freely to use koran in courses. religious schools are free. we live in our religion islam
2:20 am
freely. what else can you do? i think economy is doing fine, and erdogan brought us good services. >> there's only one person expected to win turkey's presidential elections, and that's the man standing behind me. the issue for him is can he avoid a runoff, and can he save face by holding on to power within turkey's parliamentary elections. >> and sam kiley joining us live from istanbul, turkey. an opposition real underway. what is the mood, and what are the issues rallying people together? roy i think the main issue is the -- to roll back the concentration of powers that mr. erdogan has through winning in a referendum last year and through this election. will he consolidate almost all the executive power in his own
2:21 am
hands? there's an -- a secular heir, the founder, he has said that in 48 hours if he gets elected, he will repeal the state of emergency that exists in turkey following the attempted coup two years ago and continue to control the -- allow greater concentration in the parliament. i think i lost my feed to you in my ear. i'll also reflect on erdogan. he is a character who, however you cut it, is big in turkey. he could win 51% of the first round of elections, and that would guarantee his incumbency. if he doesn't and he's forced into a runoff, things get a lot
2:22 am
tougher particularly as there is participation that he may lose ground in turkey's parliament. a lot of this might well turn on how the kurdish community votes. many are secular kurds that are for the opposition. a lot depends on the ckurdish party. >> live again in istanbul, turkey, where we look ahead to the election. we will stay in touch. thank you. floodwaters have started to repeat in parts of northeastern india. this after torrential rains devastated the area in the last few days. take a look at these images. you get a sense of what's happening. nearly two dozen deaths being blamed for the floods. more than 1,500 villages have been swamped. flooding is an annual problem during monsoon season in south

2:31 am
relatives killed by undocumented immigrants and suggested the immigrant population is somehow more dangerous than u.s. citizens. the president tried to compare those families with what's happening on the border. >> these are the american citizens permanently separated from their loved ones. the word "permanently" being the word that you have to think about. permanently, they're not separated for a day or two, they are permanently separated because they were killed by criminal aliens. >> mr. trump returned to his familiar themes, attack the media and attacking democrats. he wrote on twitter, "we can not allow our country to be overrun by illegal immigrants as the democrats tell their phony stories of sadness and grief." those stories caused the president to issue an executive order to stop those separations, and they've been documented by

particular. the smaller "sea fox" and much larger search and rescue vessel the "lifeline." both are run by german aid organizations. both are also dutch flagged vessels. the "sea fox" doesn't have asylum seekers board, but the "lifeline" had 200 asyl asylum seekers. the "lifeline" received a discretion signal and went to the location. they were told to allow the libyan coast guard to do that. they did not do that, it picked up the asylum seekers believing it to be the quickest option. that's when a political game of hot potato ensued. italy said it didn't want to open ports, insisting the "lifeline" go to malta. following that it said it was a dutch problem because the vessels were dutch flagged.
2:46 am
the netherlands said it wasn't its responsibility because the ships had been improperly registered, that they were not registered as commercial vessels. it appears that italy's transport minister said the "lifeline" will be allowed to dock in italy, and the asylum seekers can come ashore. however, the ship will be impounded, and the crew will be detained for human trafficking. the "sea fox" on the other hand, has decided to dock in malta as a precaution. it done want to see its crew detained. it has suspended its operations temporarily. as for the "lifeline," it remains at sea. it's not clear at this point what will happen to its crew and the asylum seekers board. cnn, berlin. ahead here on "cnn newsroom" -- ♪ excitement at the world cup. brazil gets something to sing

[ cheers ] it is a sea of excitement. these brazilian fans taking to the streets of moscow friday, celebrating their team's dominant win over costa rica. the team got a powerful two-nil win versus costa rica in st. petersburg. neymar followed up with his own goal in the 90th minute. judiciary with the early lead with this goal. the swiss fought back. they came from behind to win 2-1. the latest, "world sports" amanda davies with a look at what's ahead with the games. switzerland beat serbia yesterday, but there was more than meets the eye that deals with history and politics. tell us more. >> reporter: yeah, absolutely.
2:52 am
who says that football and politics don't mix? we saw both absolutely collide on the pitch last night. we know that switzerland is a team that is made up with a number of players from different ethnic origins. their two goal scorers both of kosovan origin. two players who proudly talk about their history, heritage. shakiri actually has a flag of kosovo on the back of one of his boots. the flag of switzerland on other of his boots. there was a lot of history between serbia and kosovo. kosovo, ethnically albanian territory, that was involved in a war for independence against largely serb troops in the 1990s. kosovo did declare its independence in 2008. serbia still hasn't recognized
2:53 am
that. so we saw the great emotion from the goal scorers, both crossing their hands and putting together an eagle motion which is the eagle from the flag of albania. very much making rests to their ethnic roots. it's something that fifa and football's governing body doesn't accept. they don't like political statements in the football arena. we expect them to investigate but haven't heard official from them as things stand. certainly a result not only for switzerland but beyond, as well, last night, george. >> all right. of course a lot of excitement about what is going to take place behind you there at the stadium. a lot of excitement around belgium and tunisia. belgium not as good as expected. could their luck change in russia? >> reporter: yeah, george, fans are flocking. still a couple of hours until
2:54 am
kickoff. we've got the red, yellow, and black-clad belgian fans here in their numbers. this is a team that i feel lightning i have talked about year on year, time in, time out. they're great quality but they haven't managed to pull it off and do what was expected at the major tournaments in years gone by. i actually went inside the stadium yesterday and saw the belgian boss, roberto martinez, and saw the team train. it's something they're well aware of. although the roster is like something from a fantasy football team, when it dmos playing as -- when it comes to playing as a team, they don't gel together. martin said he sees that as his job, to maximumiize their skills a team. it was widely viewed that they didn't fulfill their potential. they were disjointed in the first half there.
2:55 am
hoping to maybe rectify that this afternoon against tunisia. a team we know are very good defensively. they pass the ball quickly. they had disappointment and a late defeat to england last time out. belgium will be hoping that they record their second win in two will give them one foot in the knockout stages. >> and i've got a minute left. . but a huge game surely for the defending champions, germany. is there a real possibility they could be out of the tournament? >> reporter: yeah. after that massive defeat. mexico in the opening game, they head into the game against sweden knowing that they need to avoid defeat to keep their tournament hopes alive. interestingly, the german boss, although he said he's aware that his side are now massively under pressure in this game against sweden, he said he's not going to change anything tactically from the opening defeat. he just expects his fliers step up and do better than they did
2:56 am
in their opening game. it won't be easy against sweden. sweden very good defensively. they don't concede many. but equally they don't score goals. germany on the whole step up when it matters. they wil digging deep, trying to refined the form that led them to world cup victory four years ago. and also they'll be drawing on their experiences, their success here in russia just a year ago at the confederation's cup. they produced three dominant victories at the stadium in so muchy where this evening's game is taking place. >> thank you very much. we'll look ahead to see what happens. thank you. and thank you for being with us for this hour of "cnn newsroom." i'm george howell in atlanta. for viewers in the united states, "new day" is ahead. for viewers around the world, "amanpour" is next. thank you for watching cnn, the world's news leader.
