i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. "newsroom" starts right now. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >> at 5:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast we start with the breaking news. you've seen countless times these people running into dangerous situations risking their lives, digging through rubble to save civilians in the syrian conflict. now we know that israel and jordan have come to the rescue of the white helmets. >> this group of 800 syrian civilians, including members of the volunteer rescue group have been evacuated now, we are told, to jordan. israel says its military completed this effort at the request of the u.s. and european countries. >> let's get the latest live in jerusalem. oren lieberman on the story this hour. and oren, these civilians in the white helmets are now safely out of syria. are we hearing any news, any

reaction to this breaking news we're following? >> reporter: we absolutely are. and as you said there are was an international effort to arrange this operation. an incredibly sensitive operation as is anything between israel and syria, humanitarian or otherwise. the canadian foreign ministry put out a release thanking everyone for the rescue efforts, thankful that the white helmets have h been rescued from a perilous situation. and now we're seeing the uk foreign secretary put out a statement on social media. he called it fantastic news and said the white helmets are the bravest of the brave. that gives you an idea of how important this operation was not only to the white helmets themselves, to those civilians who were brought out from syria, to israel, to jordan but to the international community. it's been the white helmets, their videos, their efforts, i their outreach that has shown the world what was happening in the syrian civil war. the white helmets have been at work for a number of years now through the course of the civil war. they say they are some 4,000 strong in syria and have saved

more than 100,000 lives. that gives you an idea of how important they are. this rescue effort going out throughout the night, 800 as you mentioned civilians, a number of them white helmets taken from israel to jordan, that's where they are now, where they'll be for a few months before they're transferred to western countries like england, france, and canada where they will have finally now some safe haven. >> it's still a developing story, do we have any sense of understanding the timing of this? why now? >> reporter: well, the area they were in, this is southern syria, is one of the last areas in that region that the syrian regime hasn't taken over. but the syrian regime with the help of the russians was closing in on them, meaning the white helmets who are civilian volunteer rescue workers were in essentially a dangerous situation and needed to get out for their own safety. remember, the syrians and the russians both consider the white helmets terrorists organizations even though that designation is rejected entirely by the vast

majority of the international community. but it's because the syrians and the russians were closing in that they needed a way out. we know from washington and diplomats there that there has been an international effort over the last few days to put together some sort of operation. we have now seen overnight the fruition of those efforts as they were evacuated into israel and then into jordan and then those western countries have that watched the white helmets, helped them, funded them, will now take them in for their own safety. >> also interesting to point out civilians taken to several other countries. the united states not among those listed, though part of this effort requesting that they be, you know, evacuated from syria. we'll continue to follow it. thank you for your reporting today. the next story about a man who sparked a gun battle and a standoff with police, he is in police custody that the hour in los angeles. >> a suspect held dozens of people hostage inside a los

angeles grocery store, a trader joe's before finally giving up. according to police rare 28-year-old gunman shot his grandmother and another woman for leading police on a chase and it ended at a trader joe's. he ran inside. a gunfight began and this woman, a long-time trader joe's employee, was killed in the crossfire. the gunman was also hit. >> i regret to inform you that there is one fatality that occurred inside of a woman. we will have details forthcoming but of course family notification and trying to figure out more details. we don't have anything more than that. but she was pulled out by the police department from the store, fire department was able to take her, treat her on-site but she was pronounced here on-site. >> now in total six people are

in the hospital at this point and at last check they were in fair condition with no life-threatening injuries. we're also hearing stories of bravery from inside that store. employees and customers, they barricaded themselves inside and some found ways to escape. >> as you see right there, someone climbing out a window and getting help by the police. here's one employee talking with our reporter miguel marquez about that. >> i wasn't sure if i had a viable exit on the ground floor so i proceed upstairs where we have an upstairs storage space. i moved through the storage space to a back kind of a break room that we have we wherewe have an emergency ladder. grabbed the emergency ladder, proceeded even further back to a back storage area. i grabbed a couple of my coworkers, brought them back as well. i barricaded the hallway as best i could, grabbed a weapon, and put the ladder out the window. >> wow. you know, earlier we also heard

from devon fields who arrived at the trader joe's as the same time the gunman got there. listen. >> i was arriving at the trader joe's walking into the parking lot from up the street when a bunch of -- about five cop cars drove past me up the street in pursuit of someone that i did see. and i heard some pops and some gunfire and then the gunman's car came from behind me and looked like it had damage to the front bumper, was hanging about halfway off and he was trying to turn but the traffic kind of kept him from going anywhere, did really have anywhere to go, so he crashed his car into that pole and jumped out of his car and he had a pistol in his hand and just started opening fire on the police behind him. at which point i dove behind a small retaining wall at the edge of the parking lot. he was maybe ten, 15 yards from

me. i laid down there with my back against the wall when three lapd officers came, ran up and knelt behind the wall right next to me and opened fire on the gunman. then he returned fire on them so they got down on the ground to protect themselves. >> and as far as you saw -- sorry, keep going. >> at that point i think had he gone inside the store and after he was inside the store for a little while they had me crawl away from the scene and then run away around the corner. >> again, you just hear these harrowing stories, people who are very brave, just doing what they could. >> it's a saturday and you're in a zroshry stogrocery store and happened. several people still in the hospital. we'll continue to follow that. now we'll turn to the u.s. president, donald trump, he's in bedminster, new jersey, this weekend at one of his r resorts

but he went on twitter to blast the russia investigation yet again. >> this as the white house remains tight lipped about what happened at this sum bhit vladimir putin. we learned from russia that the u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo spoke by phone with the russian foreign minister sergey lavrov on saturday. they discussed normalizing relations, also discussed north korea and syria. >> this is a picture of them shaking hands when they were at helsinki. they also arrested this woman, mariia butina. lavrov said the charges are fabricated and that she should be released. >> as far the u.s. president on twitter, most of his anger was aimed at a very familiar topic. >> and a former opponent also voiced her opinion, i think you know who that is. ryan nobles is traveling with the president. >> reporter: president is spending the weekend at his golf course in bedminster, new jersey, and his twitter feed was

busy on saturday. he specifically took the opportunity to suggest that the investigation into his campaign's potential ties to the russian government during the 2016 election could end up having an effect in the election in 2018. the president tweeting, quote, no collusion, no obstruction, but that doesn't matter because the 13 angry democrats were only after republicans in totally protecting democrats want this witch-hunt to drag out to the november election. republicans better get smart fast and expose what they're doing. now, the president's tweet storm comes against the backdrop of increasing criticism for his decision to have this summit with president vladimir putin of russia in helsinki and subsequently his decision to invite president putin to washington sometime this fall. there's been a lot of fall about the reaction from the director of national intelligence dan coats who was at a security summit in aspen. he learned of the president's invitation during an interview with nbc and coats seemed to be a little bit shocked.

he attempted to clear the record on saturday night. he put out a statement that said, quote, some press coverage hads mischaracterized my intentions in responding to breaking news presented to me during a live interview. my admittedly awkward response was in no way meant to be disrespectful or to criticize the actions of the president. i, you the entire intel community are committed to providing the best possible intelligence to inform and support president trump's ongoing efforts to prevent russian meddling in our upcoming election trors build strong relationships internationally in order to maintain peace, denuke rise dangerous regimes and protect our allies. you'll notice he makes no mention of whether he thinks it's a good idea to invite president putin to washington sometime this fall. but there's one person who thinks that the president's interactions with russia have not been going very well, and that's i had former opponent hillary clinton. she had some harsh criticism for president trump during a festival or saturday. take a listen. >> the great mystery is why the

president has not spoken up for our country. and we saw that most clearly in this recent meeting with putin. we don't know what was said in the room where just of the two of them -- >> and there's no doubt that we've grown a bit accustomed to president trump and hillary clinton trading barbs long after the 2016 election has been decided. but it's worth pointing out this is really out of the norm. usually after an election like this the two sides go to their respective corners and are respectful of the jobs that they have to do after the fact. that's certainly not case this time around and just one other example of how the trump administration is unlike any presidency we've ever seen. ryan nobles, cnn, new jersey. >> thank you. the president started his saturday by slamming his former personal attorney michael cohen. he tweeted this. quote. inconceivable that the government would break into a lawyer's office early in the morning almost unheard of, he

says, even more inconceivable that a lawyer would tape a client. totally unheard of and perhaps illegal. end quote. >> cohen had recorded a conversation with mr. trump two months before the election talking about former playboy model karen mcdoogle. she alleges she had a month-long affair with donald trump around the time his wife gave birth to their son barron. trump denies the affair and in the tape cohen and trump discuss buying the rights to mcdoogle's story. >> davis abced the tweet with his own. obviously there's an ongoing investigation and we are sensitive to that but suffice it to say when the recording is heard it will not hurt michael cohen. any attempt to spin cannot change it what is on the tape. for the first time in fbi history, the agency has made public it's highly classified application for a fisa warrant,

this arizona a result of the freedom of information act, the news media forced this to happen. fisa standing for foreign intelligence surveillance act. and the warrant allows the fbi to conduct surveillance on a suspect. in this case it was this man, former trump campaign adviser carter page. >> the warrant states that the fbi believes page has been the subject of targeted recruitment by the russian government. goes on to say the fbi believes that page has been collaborating and conspiring with the russian government. >> earlier this year, the 400-page warrant became a political hot potato in congress. some republicans alleged it showed the russian investigation was bias the against president trump. because the warrant relied on the steele dossier which was funded by mr. trump's political enemies. >> democrats say the warrant showed the fbi had a legitimate concern about the people in the trump campaign which predated steele's dossier.

we'll talk more about this with scott lucas. scott a proffer of politics at the birmingham and also the founder and edit drt of eau world. a pleasure to have you talk about all of this. let's start with that heavily redacted report that's been released. republicans have always argued that law enforcement improperly obtained the warrant to monitor carter pabling. does any of that information from what you've seen, in your view, support or undermine that argument? >> no. it absolutely puts the republican attempt specifically the trump camp's attempt to smear the fbi investigation as being political and based only on a dodgy dossier puts that to rest. it is clear from this document, even about 80% is redacted, that the investigation of carter page began in 2013, three years before the presidential campaign. it is clear that it is based on contacts he had with russian operatives in the u.s. if the is clear that the fbi had multiple

sources, many sources and was not relying only on the steele dossier. that dossier on trump/russia links that had been collected by former british intelligence operative. it is also clear from the renewal of the warrant to carry out surveillance on three occasions that the fbi saw an ongoing concern based on multiple sources over page. and here's the most important thing. kwe keep your eyes on this. document says that it is not only carter page with whom the russians may have been coordinating in 60 or suspected of coordinating, but also other officials in the trump campaign. those officials are unnamed, but it shows that the fbi, all though the surveillance was only on page, had concerns about others who were around him. >> also want to get your thoughts and perspective on the cohen factor. let's talk about the president's former attorney who appears to have flipped, appeared that he will cooperate with

investigators. and as we continue to learn more details about their relationship, how big of a problem could the coen facthen be for the president? >> how sbig a mountain? we have the revelation that donald trump spo michael cohen spoke to donald trump about a payoff. in part, that was released possibly about the trump camp to deflect from the disaster with the helsinki summit with vladimir putin. but of course if the trump camp was basically agreeing to this tape being released hoping they can limit the damage, it only feeds the wider story. and that is if michael cohen is cooperating with special counsel robert mueller about the payoffs to women like karen mcdoogle, like stormy daniels, how much more is he cooperating about? how much more is he saying about the trump organization or about the trump campaign, including the link to the russians?

the -- trump doesn't know that. he doesn't know how much cohen is saying and that's why you got that angry tweet yesterday that turned on cohen and the fbi. notice the line at the end. called on republicans to halt the investigation before november's elections. >> i want to talk about the lead-up to november's elections. following that controversial summit in helsinki, the u.s. president we see him doubling down now, again, looking to invite president putin for another summit. an since then we also note the top diplomats between two countries have spoken working to normalize relations. all of this, of course, leading up to the fall right around the midterm, scott. what impact do you think that might have on the president? on trump voters? and what could be a very interesting november? >> let's talk about the game from trump's side. that is present donald trump as this world leader alongside vladimir putin. he's the man you support when

you vote for republicans. in part, it's about trump's ego. but let's talk about it from the russian side. the russians have complete control over what happened in that summit. because it was a one on one meeting, no other american officials, the russians can say whatever they want to about it, that donald trump accepts their line on the annexation of cry mia, taking it from ukraine, that they have formed joint committees from military cooperation with the united states, and now going farther that russia's line on the middle east is one that the united states accepts. and there is no pushback you can make against that because the only person who knows what was stowed vladimir putin on monday is donald trump. >> scott lucas with perspective and what appears to be a small cat there waving at us in the background. thank you so much for your time. we'll stay in touch with you. >> thank you. one woman lost nine family members in that missouri boat tragedy. now she's giving an emotional

interview about how she will carry on next. plus, environmental activists trying to bring attention to this. massive plastic all in the ocean. what do harvard graduates know about cognitive performance? as you'd probably guess, a lot. that's why a new brain health supplement called forebrain from the harvard-educated experts at force factor is flying off the shelves at gnc. forebrain's key ingredients have been clinically shown to help enhance sharpness and clarity, improve memory, and promote learning ability. and now every man and woman in america can claim a complimentary bottle. just use your smartphone to text the keyword on the screen to 20-20-20. scientific research on cognigrape, a sicilian red wine extract in forebrain's memorysafe blend, suggests not only sharper recall, but also improved executive function

welcome back. missouri investigators are working to piece together the last moments of that tour boat that sank during a thunderstorm thursday, 17 people drowned in

that tragedy. >> survivors now left dealing with the emotional wreckage as they wait for answers. one woman, tia coleman lost nine family members including her husband and three young children. she told reporters how she made it out of the water. >> i saw it there was a great big boat out there, like a river boat. and they were -- oh my god, they were jumping in saving people. they were throwing life rafts out to everybody. but i couldn't reach it. i couldn't get there in time. and so somehow i managed to get to the boat. these beautiful people, angels, i don't know who they were, they pulled me up. and when they pulled me up from the boat, i did see any of my family. but i believe i survived by god and by good samaritans. >> we're all feeling her pain. she's so eloquent in her grief. tia says she's not sure if she's happy to be alive without her

family and she's struggling to face her next really big challenge going home to a house that's empty. >> going home i already know is going to be completely, completely difficult. i don't know how i'm going to do it. since i've had a home, it's always been filled. it's always been filled with little feet and laughter. and my husband. i don't know how i'm going to do it. >> well, here's what we know. a team from the national transportation safety board says it could take up to a year to complete this investigation. but divers found a recording device that has video and possibly audio that could show them what happened. missouri's attorney general explains exactly what they're looking for.

listen. >> this investigation's in its early stages. there are actually two parallel investigations going on. the ntsb is conducting an investigation into the sinking of the vessel and the circumstances surrounding that immediate event. missouri state highway patrol is conducting a broader investigation into the circumstances that led to this tragedy before hand and whether or not this should be treated as a crime scene. >> again, we know that it went down during a storm. we're going to turn now to northern vietnam. speaking of storms, rescuers there working to rescue and relocate hundreds of people after a typhoon triggered severe flooding and landslides. >> 21 people have been killed and the search for people still missing is under way. we have eric van dam following the weather across the continent. >> it stretches vietnam to parts of china and lots to cover. let's get to the video from vietnam to show you what the

tropical storm has done. you're looking at swollen rivers, flooded streets, damaged house there's, torrents of water going through avillages. check this out in the is the tropical storm. 65 kilometer sustained winds. you see it churning across the south china sea. it's not the wind that's the major factor it's the heavy rain. here's the totals as of about five minutes ago, just over 265 millimeters of rain in northern sections of vietnam leading to scenes just like this. this is very mountain koous tern so is doesn't take much to create landslides and mudslides. we have five separate areas across the pacific ocean that are all being advise and treat dollars as tropical systems.

we have one making landfall just along the coast of shanghai. northeastern china, the largest city, feeling the effect of a tropical storm creating heavy wind and bringing gusty winds in excess of 80 to 90 miles per hour potentially impacting beijing as we head into next week. on top of that we had flooding two weeks ago in japan but now we're recovering under immense heat. tokyo remains very, very, hot. the heat indexes remain in the 40s. here's a look at some of the video of how people are dealing with the heat using whatever they can, including umbrellas to shade themselves from the intense sun. >> all right. thank you. we know it's all across asia they're dealing with this. >> it's been difficult two weeks. >> okay, thanks. >> thank you, derek. next here, plastic waste is suffocating the world's oceans and threatening wildlife. this video from the dominican

civilians being pulled from the conflict because it's getting worse where they are. israel says its military completed the effort at the kwf the u.s. and european countries. >> a gunman is in custody after a gunfight with police and holding hostages. all of this inside of a grocery store in los angeles. you see video of what happened there, the gunman fled police after shooting his grandmother and another woman. police exchanged gunfire as he ran into the store. one employee was killed in that exchange. in missouri, investigators say they have video from a camera aboard the tour boat that safr sank on a missouri lake on thursday. they think there's also audio. 17 people drowned when the boat capsized in the storm. investigators want to know why the boat changed its route that day. we now know that top diplomats from the united states and russia spoke by phone on saturday. this because the russian foreign ministry, not the united states,

but the russian foreign ministry says sergey lavrov and mike pompeo discussed the aim of normalizing relations and lavrov objected to the u.s. arrest a russian citizen on what he called fabricated charges. >> as far as what was discussed between vladimir putin and donald trump, what we know about the helsinki summit is coming mainly from the kremlin, not the white house. let's bring in matthew chance live in moscow. matthew, the fact that the u.s. president is allowing russia to own the narrative regarding the summit is somewhat bewildering. russia has the diplomatic ball in its court it seems right now as far as what it can say about what happened there. >> reporter: yeah, it is highly unusual, you're right. normally you get readouts from both sides as to what was discussesed if the to be clear, the russians haven't come out and said in these behind closed door talks that we had in helsinki here's what we discussed item one, two, three, four are et cetera. but what we have seen from

various russia officials including from the foreign ministry and defense minute tris say bleak references to the topics and the various agreements that were discussed between the two presidents. for instance, the russian ministry defense has talked about talks that began in helsinki and international security and the renewal of the stark treaty. they've talked about a joint u.s./russian proposal to return refugees in syria to the conflict zone there and to reconstruct the country after the years of warfare that have taken place in that place. there's also word from the russian foreign ministry, the russian ambassador to the united states here in moscow for a short visit said that concrete proposal were discussed between trump and putin about ukraine. media reports have elaborated on that further stlag was a discussion of the possibility of a referendum being held in eastern ukraine to decide the future of that war-torn region. so all of that coming from the russian side and very little

information astonishingly coming from the white house or the american side at this point. >> all right. matthew chance following it for us from moscow. thank you, matthew. now to the u.s. state of texas. a story that we're following there, police released a sketch of a man suspected of shooting and killing a well-known cardiologist. you see the sketch right there. victim on his bicycle when it happened. again, this in houston, texas. they're hoping surveillance cameras and witnesses can help lead to an identification. it's a bizarre story had the his patients included former president g.eorge h.w. bush. they say he was gunned down on his bicycle by a attorney also on a bicycle. . they do not know if the attack was random. we'll continue to follow it. we're getting shocking iminch has of something many people feel is out of sight out

of mind, but this is really happening. plastics that we throw away every day, the straws, baht bottles, the bags, they'll come back and haunt in a big way. >> this is a beach in the cominute can republic. that's the ocean but you can't see the water. right now tons of plastic waste are washing up on the shore quicker than volunteers be able to haul it away. that's just one beach. >> at least 8 million tons of plastic goes into our oceans every year. this according to word economic forum. and that's like dumping the contents of one garbage truck into the ocean every minute. the united nations predicts that by 2050 there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. >> we've been saying this for years, but the plastic keeps coming. much of it collecting in garbage patches like what you see here, huge islands of plastic underneath the ocean, being swept along in the ocean currents. they're about 80,000 tons of plastic in our oceans.

>> one organization in particular is among those trying to solve the growing plastics problem. right now they're focusing on the waves of garbage washing up in the dominican republic. parley for the oceans is on-site right now and they say they're working with local military and government officials to try to clean up the waste there. that group's leader explains what is so important, why trying to tackle it now is important beach by beach. >> he says that the past we've sent postcards with magical beaches and palm trees, or now it's waves of plastic trash unless we all act now future generations won't even believe the postcard scenes ever existed the we're calling for a material revolution, plastic has to go. and surreal is the founder of parley for the osh shans. he joins me from new york talk about this. we know that you have people down there working on this problem. the video is staggering and it just kind of gives a snapshot to this great mess that we're

creating, doesn't it? >> oh, yeah. it is really a plastic emergency. what sure seeing in dominica republic on this beach close to santa domingo is unfortunately the new normal. this happens everywhere in the world, especially in places that we call paradise, really. >> right. and how difficult is it to try to bring that up? >> i think for a long time the topic got totally neglected. people felt, oh, we recycle, everything is under control, this is a standard we can trust. but now people realize and not only regular people like us, but also like politicians and big brands, they realize that plastic is a design failure and it will not just go away. this material itself is simply due to redesign, you have to let it go. >> but it's not happening. yes, one viral video of a turtle

with a straw completely up its naval cavity has companies like mcdonald's and starbucks doing away with plastic straws. but yet every day most of the things you buy are wrapped in plastic. how many people drink water out of plastic bottles? the soda companies are still pumping out massive amounts of drinks in plastic bottles. you've got stop it at the source because this is -- this is the result of recycling, not exactly. >> i think we have to -- we campaign six years and this turtle with the straw in the nose, that's an old video. i think now is the moment, now is the moment, the climate of change. and i think the companies only move and i know the companies only move because there's pressure from their own clients. and that is what we are responsible for. we are all about creating this moment where people understand that an old technology like plastic needs to go. and also we have to face the stuff that is already out there. and it will take a moment.

it will take some while to reinvent plastic and in that time, we simply have to stop making more of it. and therefore, we came up with that idea we call it ocean plastic, to use that trash that got lost that's out there, that has no value and make products from it and use these products to fund the movement, fund the innovation, and fund also the education. because everything starts in our head, starts up here. >> absolutely. and is the onus on consumers to refuse to buy products or to think about their using one bit of plastic and then tossing it in the trash or should the companies take the responsibility first? which is first? >> i think the point is too long companies have pushed the responsibility on to the consumer and have called them litter bugs. and the truth is, plast sick a problem even if you discard it in the right way. a very small amount gets even
