the homicide unit to write a book. he and ed burns got towing and said what if we tell the let's of the men city and the futility of the war on drugs through the eyes of cops. of drug dealers. >> i got the best product. >> of teachers, or politicians, just make the entire city into the character, itself. >> you follow drugs, you get drug addicts and dealers. >> it's low oxygen levels that now pose as great a threat as the moon soon deluge. >> you want to pull the trigger until they know it's their only option. >> if we have no other option, we should take them out like

diving. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> good morning, everyone, i'm diane gallagher. >> i'm victor blackwell. good morning. >> we start with breaking news out of thailand. a rescue effort to evacuate the soccer team deep inside of a cave could start toon. >> so rescue teams are racing against the weather right now. you see the radar already starting. to make matters worse, action jen levels where the 12 boys and their coach are dangerously stuck, they are dangerously low. david, tell us what's happening around you now. >> reporter: good morning, yes, there is a real sense of urgency. those rains could be coming soon and they could be sustained. if that happens, all of the water they have been pumping out to try to keep these 12 boys and their coach safe under ground,

well that could all come to not if the water comes in they told us they could begin this extraction. they don't know exactly when, all sides point to them to try to bring them out through the narrow tunnels. many of them can't swim. it will be harrowing and dangerous the parents hope they will come out alive, just like the rest of the world. >> joining us on the phone, he returned from the cave site yesterday. he is continuing to work with the rescue operation. thank you so much for joining us. talk to us about the work that you have been doing there at the cave part of this mission. >> thank you.

i was not on site. >> okay. you were not on site is right. talk to us then a bit about the rescue operation, if you can. what is happening there? >> reporter: what is happening right now is those kids have been trapped for two weeks now in a narrow shelf inside that cave. they have been bound, but two weeks is a long time now with no sunlight. the lack of food. >> that has been taken care of. >> that has been found. they maybe took care, they have medics with them. the navy seals are training them so in case they get a green

light to have extraction, to let them benefit. >> thank you much for being with us. what are the things you got these 12 boys and their coach, very narrow paths. are they going to bring them out individually? are there 13 trips into and out of this cave? is there a caravan or sorts? is there a description of how many they bring out at a time? >> one thing we do know, based on the rescues, it must be said they've never attempted a rescue like this before. they will have to bring each boy out from the inner most cavern individually through the narrow caves. it's hard to contemplate. but the reason is if any of the boys panic or it goes wrong or there is a lock down in that very tight space, if there are a whole lot of boys in that

channel at once, it could be catastrophic. so someone will have to be the first brave young boy to go first with those divers, it's an extraordinary effort. they shared with us they are joined by an american specialist, british, chinese and australian all working together in this real attempt to get these boys out alive. >> real quick. before we let you go. i know it's starting to become nightfall there. does that impact this? >> reporter: no, it doesn't impact this. yogi they have been blacked out. very limited light as they bring that in there. because it's deep within the cavern. about a mile into the mountain behind me. i've seen them take these glow sticks that you crack and can last up to eight hours.

they will most likely place that along this narrow route. even if the visibility is near zero, it will give some possibly psychological reassurance to the boys if they get a sense in front of them maybe there is an exit because you can't -- it's hard to imagine the sheer terror that will be going through their mind as they pull out day or night, it will still be black as night for those buys. >> give us a sense of the atmosphere there now, the feeling amongst the people who have gathered around this cave, now that we are hearing from this official, that the extraction may happen soon? >> reporter: well, you might see behind me, you know, there are thai heavy officials, balances or in this area, a bunch of balances waiting for the possible moment when the boys are brought out. it's definitely a much more

tense area. they have been getting ready. you mustn't forgive the messages the boys have been able to get out to their parents. one nicknamed tung, he wrote on a notebook. he wants to get out and have fried chicken. here's his father who we spoke to a little earlier. >> i felt better as my son said he was fine and strong. it felt worried that he would be exhausted, tired. i fell better but i don't know whether he is tired or not. i just want to give him what helps. when he comes, we will go towing. before that he and his aunt

agreed to have fried chicken. >> reporter: his mum wrote a letter back we hope he has read at this point. shy said i will be there at the entrance when you come out. >> david mackenzie for us there, outside this cave. thank you so much. we'll check back in with you soon. right now search crews, they are trying to find an alternative to making the boys swim out by that cave. they are being drilled into the mountainside. this is an effort to reach the boys from above. >> reporter: from high above on an ad jace exhibit mountain, the geography is striking. that's what the thais call bear cliff mountain and the great waive in ki the boys are trapped are down there.

tea are often characterized by chimneys and carens below it's up there they are focused on search teams for a possible way in. if these search teams can identify an opening, we could preclude a ricky drive, they have to find one soon. say caves breathe. in the suffocating heat, you can feel them from below. they are checking edible birds nests in thailand. heredescending 300 meters. they ascertained they weren't far above the chambers where the boys are trapped. this criminal my didn't go all the way. the hope is maybe others. that's all they got, hope, hope

the rain will hope. hope they will finds a criminal my and hope the 12 little exhausted adventurers below won't have to do that desperate dive. >> alisyn chinchar is watching the weather, of course how much rain is in the forecast how soon? >> it's a two fold. how long is that rain going to la last? it hasn't rained from july 2nd to july 6th. this is good it's allowed it to recede. all the reds and oranges, that's the moisture. it's returning. with it are the rain chances, it's mainly saturday night

there. a 50% chance of rain. not only do the rain chances increase, so does the total amount of rain widespread amounts. talking four-to-six inches of rain in some spots keep in minds on top of what they've already had. we talk about the long-term effects. we are just getting into the peak rainy season. for this location, it's july and august. this won't be something they can wait a week or two, in reality the rainy season doesn't ends until the end of october. >> coming up, a shift in strategy on president trump's russia probe. how they may be planning to fight back ago ens the mueller team. >> plus they are asking for more time, as the deadline nears.

we'll have a live update in texas. preparations under way in puerto rico as the hurricane battle continues on its path through the caribbean, coming up, how the storm could impact the island that is still recovering from last year's storm. i love you, basement guest bathroom.

president is spending the weekend. tell us more about this new strategy from the president's attorneys. >> well, president trump is sending yet another small he will not cooperate with robert mueller, they are reporting trump's legal team made this demands yesterday, saying in exchange for president trump's interview request, they must prove they've uncovered the crime and it is ness for the probe. rudy guiliani told the "time's" if they cancom to us and show us the basis and that it's legitimate and that they have uncovered something, we can go from there and assess the strategy. it's important to note that all the way pack in january, trump told reporters he would be eager

to sit down with versions. so these new pre conditions certainly mark a shift in some legal tactics, perhaps setting the president up to approach the investigation in private as aggressively as he's approached it in public, of course, setting new standards for mueller to meet is at other by demands from trump and his allies, the special counsel wrap up the investigation as quickly as possible. >> sarah westwood in new jersey, thank you very much. we are learning about a trump campaign questions to paul manafort's trial. >> they say a banker helped them get $16 million in loans while he was trying to get a role in the campaign. they say they plan to show the loans were approved, meanwhile, weeks before the child is set to start, manafort's lawyers are asking to move the trial and the

start date. joining me now to talk about this, senior political analyst and for the hymn, amy barnes, well woman back. >> thank you. >> so you believe, oh, let me say this co-author of "shattered" inside hillary clinton's campaign. cannot forget the book plug. you believe this is a credibility play? this is to try to chip away at the credibility of the mueller probe, if case there is something that comes out, whether it's an indictment or faming the president as a co-conspirator to try to convince the country, the president's supporters that it's as he calls it a witch hunt? >> you are seeing a complete shift in strategy, the president earlier wanted to initially cooperate with this investigation and now you are seeing rudy guiliani saying, wait, not so fast. he will not cooperate until these conditions are made. i think it's pretty obvious what they are trying to do is delay, delay, delay here.

they want to sway public penalties. they feel it's working for them, by the way. they see shifts in public opinions, in polls, backing them up, people are getting tired of the mueller investigation, people want to move on from it. so the more they can delay the better off. by the way the mid-terms are coming up. they don't want this to impact mid-term elections, which they feel is very trushl right now for the republican party. >> rudy guiliani says, i'll admit, it's the first time i read it, the attorneys will write their own report, their own summary of the case. are they going through as the special prosecutors are, interviewing all of these witnesses, creating another narrative? is there going to be a single sheet that says no collusion? they will release that? this is a substantial promise? >> i don't think they will interview everyone the mueller team are interviewing. i think they are trying to

counter everything they will do. you saw objectivity being the key word in what rudy guiliani said. he is trying to demonstrate they are not being active. the mueller team is out to get them, donald trump is right when he says witch hunt every time. so this is something they will continue to press and say in the weeks and months to come. >> let's turn to this reporting on manafort and this unnamed banker, who had advisory roles, the company was not involved with the administration, helped them get the $16 million in loans. what is the significance for a white house that says anything that manafort is charged with happened years before he was involved with the campaign, has nothing to do with trump or any of trump's associated? >> i think it sets them back a little bit. obviously, they want to continue to say, no, this is all foreign interest. this has nothing to do with us. but, once again, here we are.

there are ties to the trump campaign. so they can no longer say, you know, there is nothing to see here, this is a witch hunt. because they can, there are ties now and mueller is trying to prove there is a connection here. that's what they're trying to do. >> detail for us the case the attorneys are making in this virginia trial to guess it moved out of the d.c. suburbs and southwest to roanoke about 200 miles away? >> they see that hillary clinton voters will, you know, come out and make this a very biased kind of case and that they'll have an penalties on this, they feel the d.c. area is obviously not the place to do that, that arlington that area, alexandria, very much in favor of the democratic party. so they're trying to move it to roanoke, which they think is a more even keel kind of place for republican voters. it was kind of 50-50 over there

in the 2016 elections. >> the president did far better in the southwest part of the state than in the d.c. suburbs, amy barns, thanks so much. >> thank you. alrea all right. still to come a deadline approach the government is asking for more time to reunite migrant families they separate. we have a liveup date from the detention center in a few moments. >> two places not on the itinerary of the president's trip to the uk. coming up a live report on the president's trip to the uk.

welcome back. i'm diane gallagher. >> i'm victor blackwell. the trump administration is facing several court orders to reunite migrant children with their families. they were supposed to make sure every parent should have a way to contact that child. they say their clients have not spoken to the krield at all. >> the government has until tuesday to make sure every child is reunited with their family. every family must be reunited. so as the deadlines get closer, u.s. officials are asking the

court for more time to comply. >> all of this confusion and uncertainty is adding to the anxiety. miguel, this is where a guatemalan mother is expected to arrive to demand her child back? >> reporter: we are starting to see this happening, parents are trying to get out under a normalized process. she got out of a detention center in texas about 48 hours ago. she says she knows her son is here and she wants him back. she had no indication of what the process was when she got out. dhs was holding her. she gets out. they say you have family in

florida. go there. she says i'm not leaving the state of texas until i have my kid back. i know where he s. i want him back. she had no idea how to do this. she hooked up the local groups. they got in touch with dhs. it's 32 pages long. it's essentially a security background check and it is almost impossible for someone who just got out of detention to figure out you or i could have trouble doing it. she knows he is here on the under 5, the government asked the judge to provide a list of all 101 kids under the age of 5

in hhs. they want to know where their parents are. >> that is the part that the government is. some are detained. some have been deported. some set out, set free because they're on bond. the aclu said if you can get us that list, we'll help find the parents the government can do it the phone calls that were supposed to happen yesterday. we have heard it is an imperfect system. even those that had one or two phone calls since they were deta detained, they're five, seven minutes long the parents are crying the kids are crying, it's almost impossible to communicate. >> 32 pages to try to get your child back. miguel marquez outside that

center there in brownsville. president trump will be at the nato summit next week. nato allies are unhappy with the way the president has been going after them with military spending. we will explain. >> plus, look at this, people packing stores. this is in puerto rico. they're stocking up with supplies because hurricane beryl is tracking now through the caribbean, coming up, when this storm could impact this island.

. >> president trump heads to brussels next week for the nato sum. he plans to talk to world leaders about one of his pet peeves, not spending enough on

their defense while the u.s. puts as he says most of the bill. candidate trump described countries as free loaders, owing back payments to nato, threatening to shift u.s. military presence, unless they increase defense spending. but let's take a look at how nato works? what is nato? the north atlantic treaty company is committed to defending one another, founded in 1949, the start of the cold war, focused on fighting off then soviet aggressions. the expansion, communism across europe. nato characterizes it to encourage european political integration. the u.s. was the leading founding member here. nato gave them a foot hold, today there are 29 member countries.

for the large part a security of nato article 5 guarantees an attack on any member of nato is an attack on all members and all members are bounds to respond or assist the attack. article 5 has been invoked once in the history of nato. it was in the u.s. in the days and weeks after 9/11. so why would those four countries want to join nato now? for the same reasons the organization was founded, common defense now against russian aggression. putin has been expanding russian influence in the balkans. okay, you know about russia's annexation is of crimea in ukraine. this organization was expressty formed against russia, president trump is warning to putin, hostility, understandably worries some of its members. so let's talk now with general wesley clark, supreme allied

commander and contributor for the united states armed forces magazine, gem, welcome back to "new day." . >> it seems like a basic question. this is the level with which the president is attacking nato. i want you to listen to him at a rally this week in mount. >> i says, angela, i can't guarantee it, but we're protecting you. it means a lot more to you than protecting us, because i don't know how much protection we get by protecting you. >> the central question here, what does the u.s. get out of nato? >> first of all, we get protection from the understanding, our economic zone and values. the united states brought two world wars in the 20th century to make sure powers could

dominate europe. europe is the group of nations closest to us in terms of value and interests. they are great trading partners, friends and support for u.s. actions and interests world wide. so they are indispensable allies of the united states. while we have provided the preponderance of military power, it's their terrain we would be fighting on the any conflict were to breakout? >> the president has often framed his dissatisfaction with nato in economic argument. he pairs trade deficits with these countries, defense spending. in the same sentence often. is that the appropriate or proper flaraming of the benefit to the u.s. from nato? >> it's not appropriate.

because the security relationship with nato is the bedrock of all the dwik development that's taken -- all the development that's taken place in the occupation. it's the freedom of these countries and their ability to organize and follow democrat ic procedures and work against extraordinary growth. they know it would mean domination by putin and let's indicate cleptocracy. it's heavy-led state exportion and corruption. the benefits run by the former soviet, now russian intelligence service in russia. let's move past brussels and down to helsinki, where this

meeting is coming up between president putin and trump, they will reportedly meet one on one, just the two of them in a room. i want you to listen to what the president said. this was soon after the summit in singapore, about how the president would engage putin, just if they were signature over dinner, how he hit the main topics that the u.s. is concerned about. here's the president. >> i can say can you do me a favor? will you get out of syria? will you do me a favor? will you get out of the ukraine? get out of the ukraine? >> now, first the president is suggesting it's just personal relationship and that would be the best way man-to-man to sit down. >> that would require put on the abandon his life long cream of putting russia towing. abandon the way the president framed it. do i have it right or wrong? >> you are absolutely right.

it's not realistic. this is -- i don't want to characterize it in any particular way than talk of someone who doesn't understand how the world works. this is not a matter of hey, i got a good relationship with so and zo. that's not what this is about. countries and systems have long-term interests. putin represents those interests. they represent a whole group of people that want to restore russia's border secure if not occupy dominating its neighbors. it's not a matter of trump and putin having a conversation him more than this there is a deeper issue. our european allies know what's going on, they know putin helped president trump in the election or attempted to. they know that trump has been much more comfortable dealing

with auto kratz than our traditional allies like france and germany. so they see this as a threat to security from the occupation. it's not always said in the room. it's a sense there is a private me, that sews concern and confusion and allies in europe. >> we know the president likes to come out having gotten something, that there is a deal of some sort. what is idealistic? >> i think it would be really great if putin said, let's go back, reenforce this intermediate forces treaty. don't you develop any. we'll get rid of our nuclear

weapons, that would be great. i think they talk about iran and syria and it's not realistic to think that russia will enable iran or push iran out of syria. so i think what will probably happen, the president will say he had a good talk, putin agreed to get iran out of syria. but it is unlikely there are concrete measures that will come out of this summit that will show actually that iran will leave syria. i don't think that's something russia wants. i think this is about hand holding. we still don't know whether really there is compromise held by putin as the dossier suggested. a lot of people around the world are behind of holding their breath for the outcome of the mueller investigation. >> what do you make of these two

men meekt one on one alone with no official record, no secretaries or ministers in the room with them. >> you know, it's a break in precedent. it doesn't increase the confidence in president trump's leadership, either in the united states or abroad. it might be done i suppose to appease president putin. maybe president trump puting the best interpretation somehow believe if he and putin have these reasons, all of the misunderstandings since 1921 and 1919 and the soviets take over between russia and the rest of the world. maybe that can be put aside, it won't be. the best can you make it's

niavete. at worst there is something going on. >> thank you. president trump visit to the united kingdom may not be a symbol of past visits. coming up, his planned meeting with the queen.

6r7b89 next week, president trump will make his first visit to the uk, it does not include the pomp and circumstance of the full state visit. >> cnn joins us. it doesn't include the sites you would expect to see him there for. >> reporter: president trump is doing his best to avoid london. he is flying in going straight

to a dinner with business leaders and a private business on the country side. from there on friday evening for a golfing weekend privately in scotland. he's going to avoid all the big sites in london. he will be also avoiding the huge protest that the plan looks as if 100,000 people will be out in the streets protesting. president trump will not stay at all. >> a lot of protesters, one big baby. >> yes, they have had a permit for a giant hot air balloon that looks like a giant trump baby to fly over london. it will be a big day. we have a lot of things in here. most of them simply don't notice them. this one people are coming from all over the country. people outside join in these huge protests, obviously, the government are trying to

separate president trump from these huge protests and make you visibly see them. >> the green is no stronger to dealing with controversial figures, though, heads of state. is there an approach how she will approach this, meeting with president trump? >> the queen has met all 11 presidents apart from lyndon johnson. she's met them all. she get on very well with them all. this is a very short visit. because there is no basket. it's a small team visit. we won't see william and kate there. you won't see howie and megan there. it may be the queen and the duke of edinburgh, maybe not. she has met many people who are very unsavory, president mcgarvey, for example. certainly, perhaps the most controversial and it will

probably be one of her last visits with an american president. she is, of course, coming towards 100. >> i see. kate, i am going to ask you this question meghan markle, has she adopted a british accent? there are people that think she has? >> all over twitter, how she got her british accent. it's not british yet. it's not. it is on the way. i think she is slowing down her language, enunciateing more as royals try to do so people can understand them. >> this is what people listen for themselves, let them see what they think yeah, kate, to be honest, i

don't hear that much. he's the one that really wants this play here. i think he seems to hear it. you say you don't hear it. >> what i hear is how a lot of americans or canadians speak here. they have lost the more pronounced accent. she still sounds very american to me. also, she is not quite british. she is very warm, very friendly very opened. >> thank you so much. >> thank you. >> we'll be back in a minute.

recent images we want to show you just in from cnn from the thai royal navy. these are rescue teams entering today. >> this time, navy seal divers are racing the weather, rains are coming soon, a navy superficiofficial said they could start soon. we are back at 10:00 a.m. eastern for "newsroom." >> cnn live starts now. [ music playing [ music playing ] >> i'm in philadelphia, we welcome our creweviewers around around the world. president trump will make a decision on his
