12:00 am
just months after a historic meeting the leaders of north and south korea are set to meet again. the details just ahead from
12:01 am
seoul. plus hours before they made headlines as victims of devastating attack they were just schoolboys in a bus in yemen. cnn has new video of their final moments. and turkey's president fires back at the united states as his country's economy buckles under u.s. sanctions. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell. >> and i'm rosemary church. good to have you with us on "cnn newsroom." the leaders of south and north korea have agreed to hold a summit next month in pyeongyang. and the meeting could be crucial in reviving negotiations with the north. >> keep in mind this would be the third time this year of a meeting between man jay in and the north korean leader kim
12:02 am
jong-un. following this story cnn's paula hancock live in seoul, south korea. this third meeting reading between the lines what does this mean for relations between these two nations? >> reporter: well, george, this is something that we have been expecting. we were really just waiting for a date. the south korean president moon jae-in saying after that very first summit with the north korean leader kim jong-un that he would be going to peeyeongya in the autumn and he would be carrying that summit. the second summit came as surprise to most people in that it didn't appear to be planned in advance, at least there was no public planning of it. what we're seeing here is significant meeting because this would be the first time a south korean leader has gone to pyeongyang to meet with a north korean leader in more than a decade. the last time there was this kind of inter-korean summit in
12:03 am
the north korean capital was 2007. so certainly what we're hearing today, this was the result of high level talks between north and south korea at the dmz, at the truce village. it was the unification minister from the south korean side, the north korean counterpart as well that sat down with discussed this saying that it was important that the two koreas work very closely together and make sure that they are working towards this declaration, the declaration they signed after that first meeting in april. certainly from the south korean point of view it seems that relations are still warming, there is progress being made. >> this comes at a time when relations between the united states and north korea seem strained with those talks of denuclearization. how does this play into possible strategy from north korea to grow closer to south korea but build a wedge between south korea and the u.s.? >> reporter: we certainly see
12:04 am
and have heard from north korea in recent weeks being very critical of washington, saying they should be lifting sanctions against north korea, that north korea itself has been making a lot of concessions by closing down or dismantling an engine test site and also giving back some remains from the korean war which could well be u.s. service members. so certainly from north korea's point of view they don't believe that washington is doing enough. from the u.s. point of view we're hearing many officials even the secretary of state mike pompeo saying that the nuclear and missile program is intact in north korea, that they're not seeing any indication of any steps towards denuclearization, but north korea has insisted it would like a step by step process. if it gives a concession it would like some of the sanctions against it to be lifted. and that's something washington has said they don't want to do, they want denuclearization before they even consider
12:05 am
lifting these sanctions. so we're certainly seeing some conflict between washington and pyeongyang. and as we have seen in the past with that second summit as well between north and south korea north korea does appear to turn towards the south more when things are not going well with washington after the u.s. president donald trump suggest the singapore summit was off, it was just a matter of days before the north and south korean leaders met once again to try and put that back on track. so certainly there is a case to be made that north korea is pushing closer to south korea at the same time as they are criticizing washington. george? >> the headline this day, the north and south korean leader set to meet in pyeongyang next month. paula hancocks live for us in seoul, south korea. thank you for the report. cnn has obtained cellphone footage showing the final moments of a group of schoolboys in yemen before many of them were killed in an air strike by the u.s. backed saudi led coalition. it was filmed by one of the
12:06 am
students. it shows the classmates jostling and yelling during roll call on the bus and playing chase with friends. >> this trip was reward for the religious school's graduating summer class. their teacher told cnn the boys had been sleepless with excitement for days, but less than an hour after the video ends osoma and many of his friends, children, they were killed. some of the scenes in this report, they're graphic, they're distressing but they reflect the reality of what's happening. take a look. >> reporter: they're taking roll call. they probably needn't bother. this is day we're told the students had been excitingly awaiting for weeks. the little boy filming swings the camera around to capture all his friends. they're due to graduate today
12:07 am
after two months of school. first up is a shrine. it may not seem like a fun day out but in a city ravaged by war this cemetery is one of the few remaining green spaces. the children scatter in a game of chase. less than an hour later most of the children you see in this video were dead. osoma's film was found in the wreckage of the bus and with it the children's last moments. cnn obtained the footage from local houthi officials. this attack on a school bus carrying children of the u.s. backed saudi led ocoaliticoalit yemen has drawn condemnation. they allege the attack was a legitimate target, recruiters of
12:08 am
child soldiers. still the coalition is investigating and says it is fighting to reinstate yemen's legitimate president after his overthrow by the iranian backed houthi militias. three years unknown and the devastation in yemen continues. the surviving children struggle to piece together what happened. the scope of the tragedy still too difficult to absorb. this is medic, the first at the scene.
12:09 am
many of the bodies found after the attack are so muteulatilatet the process of identifying them has been drawn out and torturous. while the men busy themselves digging little graves waiting to be filled one by one. you can hear the joy in osoma's voice. ali, mohamed, he calls out chasing behind them, wait. let's take a picture and the camera goes dead. cnn, london. >> it is the terribly disturbing reality of what's happening in that nation. >> that's right. we're also hearing from the u.s. defense secretary james mattis. he's come out in support of an
12:10 am
investigation into the air strikes. listen. >> i have dispatched a three-star general into riyadh to look into what happened here and if there is anything we can do to preclude this in the future even while we support state department's call for an investigation. >> and mattis added the u.s. is concerned about the humanitarian crisis in yemen and supports a u.n. brokered negotiation. the saudi led coalition said it launched the air strikes on missile launchers and it was, quote, a legitimate military operation. it accused the houthi rebels of using children as human shields. all right, switching gears now here in the united states, they were outnumbered. in the u.s. capitol, a loud message from thousands of people that america is no place for white nationalism, bigotry or racism. here's the scene in washington, d.c. dozens of anti-hate groups, they came together near the white house on sunday
12:11 am
drowning out a white nationalist rally that was called unite it right two. it was to be held on the first anniversary of the racist riots in charlottesville, virginia, that turned deadly. >> on sunday the white nationals made a lackluster appearance in washington. only about two dozen showed up. and they were easily shouted down by anti-hate groups as cnn's brian todd reports. >> reporter: this was a day of passion and high energy here in washington, and just about all of it was on the side of the anti-racist protesters who vastly outnumbered the white supremacist protesters. there were several thousand anti-racist, anti-fascist demonstrators from a coalition of about 30 different groups from black lives matter to antifa to other groups opposing the white supremacist message. the white supremacists maybe had only a couple dozen people if
12:12 am
that many and their message was drowned out. this was a bit of a flare up towards the end of the day here where a few counterprotesters who may have been white supremacists, we don't know showed up with a flag and were countered by these people here. there was a flare up. there was a bit of jostling, screaming at them. they quickly took refuge behind a line of police, and that was what led to this confrontation here over my shoulder. so some of these protesters are now leaving and moving this way after police have basically cordoned off this area and gotten a few of those counterprotesters out to safety. while you can say most of the protests were peaceful and dispersed early in the day as anticipated, some of the anger has not dissipated. so some of these people are still hanging around, and what we can say carried the day are the security measures police have put up. right here and elsewhere in
12:13 am
lafayette park over here, the counter racist protesters, the anti-racist protesters were not allowed to get really within about 100 yards of where the white supremacist protesters were. the police cognizant of that, but that really didn't happen in any large measure. and what did happen was the white supremacists were so severely drowned out by the counterprotesters that they left, they didn't finish their speaking program. a reality tv star and one time white house aide is now stepping up attacks on her former boss. omarosa manigault-newman is promoting her new and mostly unverifiable book recounting her time in the white house. >> and now she's releasing what she says is a secret recording of white house chief of staff john kelly firing her. she says the recording was made in the situation room, which is supposed to be one of the most security places on earth. here's a portion of that
12:14 am
recording. >> can i ask you a couple of questions? is the president aware -- >> let's not go down this road. this is nonnegotiable discussion. >> i've never had a chance to talk to you. this is my departure. i'd at least like an opportunity to understand. >> we can talk another time. this has to do with some pretty serious integrity violations. everyone on the staff works for me not the president. >> the white house says the recording shows a disregard for national security. but omarosa told nbc news she did it to protect herself. >> as you'll see in unhinged i protected myself. the president lies to the american people, sarah huckabee stands in front of the american people and lies every single day. otherwise you'll look back and
12:15 am
you'll see 17 knives in your back. >> we're also hearing from the president's attorney speaking out on another person who's on the out with donald trump, that would be james comey. >> rudy giuliani telling cnn the president never asked the fbi director to drop the investigation into mr. trump then national security advisor michael flynn. cnn's boris sanchez has more now on giuliani's reversal. >> reporter: rudy giuliani is trying to make the case this is not a contradiction but rather a misunderstanding. back in july when he spoke to abc news he said that the president asked james comey to cut a break for michael flynn, to take it easy on him. something he says he was asked to do many times as a prosecutor. he also suggests that james comey should not have taken that as a direction from president trump. that's why he makes the argument that the president did not attempt to obstruct justice. i want you to listen now to exactly what rudy giuliani said during that abc news interview
12:16 am
just a few weeks ago. here it is. >> how is he a good witness for the president if he's saying the president was asking him or directing him in his words to let the michael flynn investigation go? >> he didn't direct him to do that. >> rudy giuliani here saying this is simply a miscommunication. he apologized for the confusion that was created by what he says was the use of a device in legal argument, which he says was arguing in the alternative to try to prove a point. he suggested this is not a contradiction and the president never had a conversation with the former fbi director about michael flynn. now the president's legal team is continuing to make the case that the president should not testify before special counsel robert mueller. they say that robert mueller is trying to set a perjury trap for the president by asking him questions about a conversation he had with james comey and specifically why the president ultimately fired the fbi director. the white house is also responding to another explosive
12:17 am
story. that of omarosa manigault-newman and her release of this secret recording shat she made of chief of staff john kelly as he was dismissing her in the situation room at the white house, which is supposed to be a secure area where recording devices should not be allowed. the white house, sarah sanders putting out this statement writing, quote, the very idea that a staff member would sneak a recording device into the white house situation room shows a blatant disregard for our national security. and then to brag about it on national television further proves the lack of character and integrity of this disgruntled former white house employee. not even using omarosa's name in the statement. there's still a lot of aspects yet unanswered by the white house. namely why the chief of staff felt it was necessary to take omarosa into the situation room to fire her, and what he was talking about in that recording regarding omarosa's integrity
12:18 am
infractions or possibly serious legal issues and his reasoning behind her wanting to have a so-called friendly exit from the white house. again, i've asked the white house press team. they have not responded. cnn, traveling with the president near bedminster, new jersey. >> all right, so let's get some perspective by the situation. we're joined by leslie, head at the world institute of international affairs. good to have you on the show. >> thank you. >> let's start with this, apparent contradiction from the president's lawyer, rudy giuliani, who has changed his story and now says mr. trump never told former fbi director james comey to ease up on michael flynn last year. this despite a television interview in july. he says this is misunderstanding not a contradiction. what is going on here? >> well, it certainly seems those efforts by rudy giuliani
12:19 am
to backtrack to cover up to reconstruct what it is that the president might say should he actually speak directly with mueller. and so it's certainly concerning. it raises a lot of questions, but i think we've seen a lot of contradictions and a lot of backtracking. and of course comey has said there was a comment from the president hat perhaps he could ease up on flynn. so there's a lot of questions raised by this, but i think at this point the public perception -- the public reaction will certainly be one which is simply a lack of surprise. >> yeah, indeed. i do want to turn now to the other story that has the attention of the white house, the release of a tell-all back by former trump aide omarosa manigault-newman, and of course the rehelease of a recording of her firing by chief of staff john kelly. omarosa has some credibility issues, of course. so what impact might her book have and what might the
12:20 am
ramification be of her recording a conversation in the situation room? >> first of all, there's a question of whether or not the recording will alter the impact that her book has. and suspect once again not. we've seen things coming out of this white house which are unethical, which are different from what we've seen in other white houses. so i think once again if you look at the public reaction there will be a lack of surprise. it also isn't the first time we're going to see a book come out that tells a lot about this white house, about this president. go back to michael wolf, "fire and fury." and in the short-term there's a big reaction, and then it seems to sort of fade into oblivion almost as the frez has tonpresi continued to deflect. certainly it's things that come out that affect the credibility. but this is again going to be another instance where i think there's a lot of questions raised but some of them unverifiable and there will be a broader question what her
12:21 am
credibility is. >> yeah, and of course we'll see if more tapes are released. another big issue sunday was the white supremacist rally in washington, d.c. that ended up being much smaller than anyone expected. why do you think so few people turned up compared to last year in charlottesville, virginia? >> what might that signal to you? >> well, i think this is actually one of the positive stories coming out of the united states right now, which is there's been a backlash against the hate, against white nationalism as a result in part of charlottesville and of a racial politics that many people see as being stoked by this president, frankly. and so i think that, you know, that turn out was surprisingly low. a lot of people anticipated it would be much higher, but there was a sense there would be push back, there would be people on the streets saying no in effect to white nationalism. and i suspect that those who considered turning out thought
12:22 am
twice. remember the percentage of support, those americans that actively support white nationalism is actually quite low. and so what happened in charlottesville i think has generated a lot of contestation and push back against those white nationalists. so i think yesterday was actually a very positive story for america. ? we've got that message loud and clear i think, right? leslie, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate it. >> thank you. and "cnn newsroom" pushes ahead. turkey's lira takes another dive in early trading. but the financial minister of that nation says he has a plan to restore confidence. what do harvard graduates

12:25 am
12:26 am
welcome back, everyone. the turkish lira hit a new record low in early trading monday after last week's free fall. turkey's finance minister says he was launching an economic action plan to calm the markets. >> the president erdogan claimed the u.s. had given turkey a dead lain to release an american pastor or to face new sanctions. he blames the lira's plunge on
12:27 am
economic attacks on ankara. >> on friday president trump announced he was doubling tariffs on steel and aluminum imports from turkey. >> arwa, president erdogan is urging people to do their part, to protect the lira in sort of a populous appeal to defend that nation. how is the message being received? >> reporter: with a lot of trepidation and anxiety as you can imagine, george. no one wants to see their country's economy take this kind of a plunge. and we're really not seeing much of a response to the president's plea at this stage. he had said in a very sort of nationalistic, as you mentioned there, statement urging people to go out and convert their dollars, their golds into turkish lira, that happening late last week. but at the same time we have also been hearing of a variety of other statements coming out from the government right now perhaps as you were saying an
12:28 am
attempt to further calm the markets down. there have been all sorts of rumors going around as you can imagine that perhaps the government was going to be seizing or freezing people's bank accounts, forcibly trying to convert their dollars and their foreign currencies into lira. that is not going to be happening. that is according to turkey's finance and treasury minister. also the president's son-in-law who said in a series of tweets trying to reassure people that they would not be seizing deposited money in banks, and not be forcibly converting u.s. dollars to lira in the accounts. and that they would be applying this action plan, the overarching broad strokes of it are that it mandates budgetary discipline and includes measures to increase technological production, boost exports and try to boost the country's deficit. even though, yes, we have been hearing from the turkish president, other officials really trying to place the bulk of the blame on this, on the massive spat going on between
12:29 am
turkey and the united states, the turkish lira prior to all of this was already on shaky ground by and large because the turkish president has been refusing to do what the markets have been urging him to do and that is increase interest rates. so turks right now waking up to a very uncertain economic future. perhaps also sensing that despite the government's own shortcomings this is as the president said some sort of economic warfare that is being waged on their government, on their country and on they themselves. because at the end of the day they are the ones that are going to be suffering the most. and you can just really begin to think about the kinds of conversations that are happening amongst this country's citizens at this stage and just how concerned they are for their country and for their own future. >> all right, cnn's arwa daymond live with reporting in istanbul, turkey. thank you for your time today. and we'll take a short break here. but still to come the family of

12:34 am
they didn't stay long. only about two dozen turned out for the unite the right rally. they were met by huge crowds of counter protesters who chanted nazis go home. a year ago a unite the right rally turned violent and deadly in charlottesville, virginia. former white house aide omarosa manigault-newman is releasing what he claims is a secret recording of the white house chief of staff john kelly firing her in the situation room. white house press secretary sarah sanders says the recording shows a blatant disregard for national security from a d disgruntled former white house employee. the jordanian government says five people were arrested. saturday's raid followed an attack late friday on an arts festival in another jordanian town. one security officer died and six others were wounded in that attack. in the u.s. state of washington investigators there are trying to understand how an airline employee was able to
12:35 am
steal a passenger plane. his name richard russell. he took an empty plane on friday. >> he flew it for about an hour before the plane went down and russell died in that crash. investigators have now found the flight data recorder and they're hoping it will provide some answers. our kyung lah has the latest. >> reporter: the mtsb says the flight data recorder is on its way to washington, d.c. for analysis. they hope to begin that some time this week. it was recovered over the weekend by investigators. tay say very little is left of the plane, but the data recorder is intact. the investigation shifting now to 29-year-old richard russell. he is the man, the horizon air employee who worked there for 3 1/2 years, a ground service employee. he stole the plane, flew it in the sky for an hour here, many
12:36 am
people recording this. seeing the stunts that he took in the plane before crashing it into a remote island. he had security clearance. to hear his voice on these recordings say the people who know him is heart breaking. >> i've got a lot of people who care about me, and it's going to disappointment them to hear that i did this. i would like to apologize to each and every one of them. just a broken guy got a few screws loose, i guess. never really knew it until now. >> bebo was a pawarm compassione
12:37 am
man. as the voice recordings show his intent was not to warm anyone. >> before that family gave a statement to the press they held hands, they prayed, they said their faith in god is the only thing helping them get through this. kyung lah, cnn. there are reports of sporadic clashes in the city of ghazni, afghanistan. on the mainland connecting kabul with the country's south. >> officials say more than 100 people have been killed since fighting tweens the forces and government forces began. a spokesman says afghan forces are in control of government centers. american planes conducted five air strikes saturday and four more on sunday. women and children are among the dead in an explosion in a rebel held syrian town near the
12:38 am
turkish border. a syrian volunteer force says at least 36 people are dead and dozens more are wounded. the group says the explosion went off in a building that had been housing ammunition. >> volunteers rescued ten people from all the rubble that you see there. idlib province is the last strip of territory still held by rebels opposed to the president bashar al assad. we're getting word of a deadly fire in a taipei hospital. >> 244 firefighters fought to put out the flames. the fire broke out on the hospital's seventh floor before dawn on monday. the cause is under investigation. well, crews are making progress against one of the massive wildfires raging in southern california, the so-called holy fire was only 10% contained on friday. but that jumped to 51% as of
12:39 am
sunday evening. >> at least 21,000 people were forced to evacuate, though, many have now been allowed to return to their homes. one man is in custody. he's accused of starting this fire and sending threatening messages to a fire chief saying a place is going to burn. meteorologist ivan cabrera is here to tell us more about what's happening in that state. the weather is critical to helping firefighters fight it. >> 10% to 51%, that's a huge improvement. and the weather hasn't improved all that much, just a little bit but maybe enough for fire fighting efforts here to get the upper hand. incredible fire staging here in order to protect these homes. here's the fire that was set. 51% containment. still growing a little bit, but
12:40 am
once you get over that 50% threshold, that's good showing you weather conditions aren't going to get all that much worse. we still have 13,000 firefighters spanned across the state of california fighting these fires. and so far we've burnt 650,000 acres of land in california since we started this fire season. already some temperatures as i mentioned really not going to improve all that much. 90s, those down winds that can accelerate and get very fast quickly down a mountain side. here's the holy fire. what we did have over the weekend the marine layer got a little closer and some man soonal moisture coming in and that allowed at least not for rain but relative humidity values to go up. with overnight lows in the 60s. what we need is some rainfall. not enough right over the fire.
12:41 am
switching over as i head over to the other hemisphere here, monsoonal moisture. i'll leave you with this because there have been impressive totals coming out of the philippines. look at this we're back to metrics now, but 678 millimeters of rainfall falling in one part of the philippines. that is over 27 inches of rainfall. that is just incredible. in two days that happened. but despite the flooding i guess some things have to go on i suppose. >> and our next story actually relates to that weather. ivan cabrera, thank you so very much. so the wedding that simply would not be canceled. monsoon floods could not deter one determined bride, here she is in the fiphilippines. >> the couple moved ahead with their plans despite the high-water reaching into the church. some call it the wedding of the year. congratulations to them. >> a very determined bride. all right, let's take a very

12:44 am
is part of a bigger picture. that bigger picture is statewide mutual aid. california years ago realized the need to work together. teamwork is important to protect the community, but we have to do it the right way. we have a working knowledge and we can reduce the impacts of a small disaster, but we need the help of experts. pg&e is an integral part of our emergency response team. they are the industry expert with utilities. whether it is a gas leak or a wire down, just having someone there that deals with this every day is pretty comforting. we each bring something to the table that is unique and that is a specialty. with all of us working together we can keep all these emergencies small. and the fact that we can bring it together and effectively work together is pretty special. they bring their knowledge, their tools and equipment and the proficiency to get the job done. and the whole time i have been in the fire service, pg&e's been there, too. whatever we need whenever we need it. i do count on pg&e to keep our firefighters safe.
12:45 am
that's why we ask for their help. all right, today if you've been following golfer brooks koepka he's on a major role, winning the 100th pga championship. ko koepka led wire to wire sunday with a final score of 16 under par. >> what makes it even more impressive is tiger woods was hot on his trail. he shot a final round 64 and finished in second shy of what would have been his 15th major title. but it wasn't. cnn's patrick snell sat down with brooks koepka to talk about
12:46 am
his big win. >> brooks, many congratulations. i'd like to read out some famous names to you. tiger woods, mickelson, bill hogan. what does it mean to add brooks koepka to the elite list as the only man to win the u.s. open and pga championship? >> growing up as a kid you couldn't imagine adding your name to that list and doing that is incredible. to look back where i was two months ago, four months ago is incredible. >> you mentioned a difficult start to the year, the frustration, the wrist injury, not being able to compete in any of that. if you look back at that and i said to you you were going to win not just one major but two majors in this season, what would you have said? >> probably would have laughed.
12:47 am
