been unthinkable as the decade began. a top white house lawyer now said to be a key witness in robert mueller's russia's investigation. we'll have that story for you ahead. plus, families divided long ago by the korean war prepare for emotional reunions in north korea. also ahead this hour, the pope addressing the sex crisis spanning several countries. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta. we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm george howell. cnn "newsroom" starts right now.

at 4:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast, new insight into the russia investigation here in the u.s. we now know that a key white house official is said to be cooperate k cooperating extensive will with the special counsel robert mueller. reportedly he's been cooperating for the last nine months. mcgahn has talked to investigators for no less than 30 hours. he says to have given them information they wouldn't otherwise have. the u.s. president insists he let mcgahn do it. now, to what extense he's cooperated is just now being revealed publicly. our ryan nobles is traveling with president trump and picks it up from here. >> reporter: president trump is reacting to the news that don mcgan, the white house counsel has sat down with a series of interviews with the special counsel robert mueller saying that it was his idea, that he had no problem with mcgahn doing so because he has nothing to

hide. "the new york times" reporting that mcgahn spent more than 30 hours with the special counsel revealing everything he knows about president trump's role in their investigation and perhaps his attempts to obstruct justice as they try to find out information as to whether or not the president's campaign was clueding with russia during the 2016 campaign. and make so mistake, there's a lot that don mcgahn knows about the last year of the administration, he was there during the lead-up of the firing of fbi director james comey, knows all about the president's comments and actions. he also knows about the president's obsession with putting loyalists in charge of the probe, and he also knows about the president's thought process as it relates to perhaps firing the special counsel robert mueller. there was even a shoaldown between mcgahn and the president where he warned the president if he took that action of firing robert mueller that he was going to step down. now, don mcgan's attorney william burke he put out a statement saying, quote, president trump through counsel declined assert any privilege

over mcgahn's testimony, so mr. mcgan answered the special counsel's team's questions fulsomely and honestly as any investigator must. and the president's lawyer rudy giuliani also responding to this news saying that mcgbegcmcgahn t because he had nothing to hide. moth boj teams trying to spin this to the benefit of the public relations plan. but this story tells us more than anything that as much as the information has come out about the robert mueller probe, there's still so much that we don't know about what robert mueller has uncovered. ryan nobles, cnn, berkeley heights, new jersey. let's bring in cnn analyst and attorney areva martin joining via skype. thank you so much for your time. the u.s. president has chimed in

on twitter saying that he, quote, allowed white house counsel don mcgahn and all other requested members of the staff to fully cooperate with the special counsel. adding, in addition we readily gave over 1 million pages of documents, most transnarnt history, no collusion, no obstruction. witch-hunt the president says. at face value what do you make of this claim of full cooperation? >> one thing we know, george have that the president's previous personal legal team were very much in favor of the president cooperating with the special counsel's investigation. their thought was if the president cooperated that the special counsel could wrap the investigation up rather quickly. we see that hasn't happened. the president has changed lawyers, as it relates to his personal attorneys. he brought on mr. rudy giuliani to lead up his personal legal team. and we see giuliani has a very different approach to the special counsel and the

investigation. and his approach has been to really play cat and mouse with the investigators as it relates to cooperating, particularly when it comes to the president actually sitting down and being interviewed by the special counsel. we've heard him say repeatedly on cable news that the president wants to sit down, that he plans to sit down, but yet there doesn't seem to be any real intention by giuliani and the new team's approach to cooperating with the special counsel. >> to your point, the president describes this as full cooperation, but there is also a suggestion coming from the "new york times" report that this was somehow a enough to set mcgahn up as the fall guy for the president. mr. trump's attorney, as you also mentioned, rudy giuliani, he spoke about it on a conservative opinion show. let's listen to that. >> i think the best -- the best analysis would be that the mueller team is panicking. they know they don't have a

case. there was no collusion. there was no obstruction. they can't prove it and they are trying to get the president to testify. and they're hoping that if they put out a story like this in which they suggest that mcgahn is cooperating against them but don't say it, they don't say that, that he'll want to come in and explain himself. now, the president wants to testify. the president wants to be open and transparent, otherwise he wouldn't have enraged 30 witnesses including mcgahn to testify. >> rudy giuliani there giving his take on things. is that rudy giuliani's spin or how do you see it, areva? does it seem like mczban cooperating for the president or against him? >> well, you know, george, rudy giuliani just made some really bizarre statements in those comments. he said the special counsel is panicking. we have absolutely no evidence of panic on the part of the special counsel. if anything, the special counsel

has been so incredibly quiet, we don't know what his team is doing. we know that he hasn't wrapped up this investigation. we know that there's been some communication with the trump team about trump coming in and sitting down for an interview. and that's about all that we do know. so i don't know where he's getting this information from, one that they're panicking. were to, there evidence that this story was leaked by the special counsel and that it was leaked somehow to encourage mcgahn to come back in and testify. mcgahn has already sat down with the special counsel for almost 30 hours and has been open and honor northwest his testimo honest in his testimony. as to giuliani's comments, i would say they're more spin, unreliable, and unsubstantiated. >> areva martin joining us from los angeles. we appreciate your time.

thank you. >> thank you, george. now to the korean peninsula, a select number of south koreans are preparing for what will likely be a very emotional next few days. 89 people are preparing to cross into north korea monday for a brief reunion they've been separated from. thousands were separated by the korean war and haven't seen their relatives in nearly 40 years. we're following this story in south korea, and paula, i know you've been speaking with people about these rare and delicate next few days ahead. what more are you hearing? >> reporter: well, george, you have 89 families inside the hotel behind me at this point. they're having orientation, which is really talking them through what to expect over the next few days because, as you say, it's going to be an incredibly emotional time. these are family members that many of them didn't even know about whether they were dead or alive. but since the korean war back in

the 1950s they have applied to be part of these reunions, 67,000 people were hoping to be part of this around here and now you have 89 who will be going first thing monday morning crossing the border in north korea and meeting with their family members for the first time in decades. it is just a fraction of the people who want to go to be reunited with their family members. and a tragic example of just how time is running out, four people had to drop out the last few days because of deteriorating health. most people are 80 and above, more than 20% of them in their 90s. so there really is this desperate need to have a number of these reun glons quiions in session. they said they're trying to push more of these reunions to make sure that as many people as possible can be reunified with

their loved ones. these are the lucky ones, they will be going to north korea, but it's bitter sweet as well. it's just for three days. it's highly choreographed. there's certain hours each day they'll be allowed to sit down with their family member and at the end of it they'll have to get on the buses, come back over the border knowing that that is likely the last time they'll see their loved one. >> you said that could be the last time they see them. to contemplate what that will mean for those who will get go in north korea, to have that limited amount of time they've been able to see these other people they've been separated from, and then that's it. >> reporter: that's right. that's the cruel aspect of this, that even though they'll be reunited, then that is it. we're hearing from the head of the red cross that he doesn't want that to be the end of it. he wants there to be a continuation, a follow-up. he wants there to be

communication between families. and that's a work in progress. but it's up to north korea whether or not they want this to happen. these reunions only do happen when there are good relations between north and south korea. there hasn't been one for three years. but certainly with this inter-korean cooperation we're seeing at the moment with the summit, with the singapore summit between the u.s. leader and person that leader, there's hope that there could be more of these reunions in the future. there is that case, that it's a race against time in the is in the 1950s that many of these families were torn apart by the korean war. so the family members that want to be reunite reasonable doubt elderly. there were more than 130,000 people originally who wanted to be part of these reunions, who registered, but more than half of them have since passed away. george. >> reporter:? >> and you'll be bringing us

these stories live later on. now southern india, thousands of people there stranded or trapped, their flooded homes, many waiting on rooftops for any help they can get. it's the worst flooding to hit the southern state in nearly a century. in this video you see soldiers who have been dropping packages from helicopters. it's an uphill battle. many trapped are running out of food, drinking water, and medicine. 345 people have died since the monsoon season started in may. and there's this. the added dang, he. thetor cent e rent chal rain has triggered landslides. hundreds of thousands of people are staying in shelleders. derek is here to tell us about the weather situation. weather is key and plays into what happens next. >> there are 14 districts in this state, and 13 of them have been described as nearly fully submerged, over 16,000 kilometers of roadways have also been flooded. this is incredible,

unprecedented here, worst flooding in nearly a century. people anxiously awaiting to be rescued, but the problem is that communities have been cut off completely by floodwaters. the only way to access people sometimes is by plucking them from the rooftop, helicopter, via boats. this is a compelling image from the indian navy showing this individual being hoifsted from the second story of their home. rainfall totals have been dramatic. we have received well over our monthly average for august in just five days alone for some of the city locations across the western-facing shoreline. now, according to the meteorological information that we look at here at cnn weather, we expect the heaviest of rainfall to start to move away from southwestern india so maybe

we'll get a respite of that strong rain. we do have alerts in effect for some of the affected areas. and that changes to green and that's good news. that's what we want to see. this is the computer model. you can notice how the heaviest rainfall starts to focus north towards kochi as we head towards mumbai. that's where we'll see the heaviest rainfall. maybe we'll get a break from that excessive rain, really the rainfall totals just north of kochi could peak at 150 millimeters where was close to the krara la state would be two days. we'll take less rain in this forecast because that's what we want to know. southwest monsoon strararts to retract in october and november

december. the country as a whole is below the rainfall total. there alone on friday you get this, 82,000 high water rescues that took place just on friday alone. so that really puts it into perfect e inspective. >> wow, derek. we'll have to keep in touch with you because those rescues will certainly continue. >> as long as the rain does. >> thank you. more than a dozen fans of of the singing group "back street boys" and "98 degrees". they were injured in oklahoma this after a powerful storm tore through a venue. staff started getting fans to safety after lightning was spotted nearby, but not everyone listened. witnesses say heavy rains of 100 kilometers or about 75 miles per hour, they knocked over structures by the entrance threatening hundreds of people waiting in line. at least 14 people were taken

kerala kera . welcome back to cnn "newsroom," i'm george howell. as yet another clergy abuse scandal rocks the united states, the drum beat for accountability is getting louder. the one man who could make that happen, the pope. and in the next hour and a half, pope francis is set to deliver his sunday prayer. we go live to rome shortly to see that prayer, to follow it in a moment, but first our rosa flores has a look at how this crisis has unfolded. >> the word god makes me think of him and i just -- >> reporter: the voices of victims still demanding justice. while the bombshell grand jury report revealed more than 1,000

children were victimized by more than 300 predator priests, and the bishops who hid their crimes over 70 years. the statute of limitations for prosecution has run out for all but two priests. >> the grand jury has issued its report of findings. >> reporter: pennsylvania bishops have released statements expressing their sadness for the victims, but that is not enough for terry mckeirnan. >> reporter: the founder of accountability.org. an organization that's akusds thousands of priests, a database that's about to grow significantly. take the dioceses of pittsburgh. the investigation revealed that it sheltered 99 predator priests, more than double the amount previously known to him. from 1988 to 2006, that dioceses was led by bishop don eled whirl, now a high profile cardinal in d.c. >> world's legacy in pittsburgh

is more complicated than we thought. away was before hand thought of as one of the good guys. >> reporter: the grand jury report credits whirl for standing up to the vatican in some cases of abuse, but also suggests he guided at least one accused priest back into service. cardinal whirl defended himself by saying his dieio cease worked to exceed the conference of bishops and reporting requirements of pennsylvania law, but those are laws that critics say the catholic church is working overtime to influence in its favor. take bishop ronald gainer from harrisburg, he's one of the bishops expressing sorrow for the vigts of his dioceses. he's head the pennsylvania catholic conference, a group that aggressively lobbies against reforming the statute of limit tagtss. >> the catholic conference has been tenacious in opposing this, and of course they have allies in the pennsylvania legislature.

>> reporter: the group released a statement saying it was devastated and outraged by the revelations and that the time to discuss legislation will come later. pennsylvania's attorney general also pointing the finger at the church in a letter to pope francis last month saying he believed that two unnamed catholic church leaders tried, quote, silence the victims and avoid accountability. he says pope francis, the one man with the power to hold everyone involved accountable, has not yet responded. >> transparency and accountability are the only thing that's going to save this church. >> reporter: rosa flores, cnn, miami. as i mentioned, pope francis is set to give that sunday prayer in saint peters square in the next hour and a hfl. and following that, barbie is live in rome. good to have you this day. the pope has spoken out in recent days about the genoa bridge collapse, the lives lost there. the question now will he address in sexual abuse scandal himself

this day and directly? >> reporter: that say big question, but i don't think there's any expectation that the pope is going to mention this today in his sunday prayer. usually he speaks to those people gathered in saint peters square who gather on sunday morning who want to see him. and the vatican has issued a statement. 48 hours after it came out and some people say that was too long and they used long wage that we haven't talked about before. they talked about criminal, accountability and civil law and civil laws. it's going to depend on whether or not the vatican follows up that statement with some action. if they demand the resignation of some of these compolice it bishops or open up some of their secret archives. those are the things that the victims want but we don't know if the pope feels obligated to address any of that today, george. >> the people who come together in the square are people who will be clambering for and will want some sort of a response

given what's happened. >> reporter: well, we're not aware that any of those survivor groups are planning to be in saint peters square today. usually on a beautiful sunday morning like this in rome you've got tourists who wanted a selfie, trying to get the pope in their selfie. they're out there to see the pope. it's one of those rare opportunities to get a glimpse of him and those people are generally devout or tourists. and we're not expecting that the survivors will be gathering there today. >> barbie, thank you. the suspect in tuesday's vehicle attack outside the british parliament is set to appear in court on monday. prosecutors have charged the suspect with two counts of attempted murder. according to police, he drove his car into a group of pedestrians and police officers before ramming it into barriers. police are treating the incident as terrorism. still ahead this hour, he may be the ultimate inside man. now the white house counsel is a

key witness cooperating witness, in the russia probe. and what a report that don mcgahn feared that he was being set up by the president. we'll look into it. plus, he brought the u.n. into the 21st century earning praise and criticism along the way. we look back at the impact, the legacy and life of kofi annan. live ahead on cnn "newsroom" from atlanta this hour. stay with us.

lines we're following for you. 89 south koreans are coming together near the country's border for a rare opportunity to reunite, at least for a little while, with their family members in north korea. the government-run reunions start on monday. the country s' leaders agree the meetings will take place in april. thousands of people in india are trapped in the worst flooding in history in the southern state of kerala. rescue crews are trying to reach some areas for those trapped are running out of food and water. we're getting new images from indonesia where a 6.3 earthquake has hit the island of lum bah. there was no tsunami morning and no reports of casualties, more casualties. so far this is the same island that was hit by another either quake that killed 436 people two weeks ago.

the white house counsel don mcgahn has cooperated extensively with the russia probe and the special counsel. they say he's been interviewed some 30 hours over the past nine months. the white house says it it wanted him to coprapt. mcgahn said he also feared he was being set up to take the fall if wrongdoing was being found. let's talk more with scott lucas, scott a professor of international politics at the university of birmingham, live this hour via skype from birmingham, england. always a pleasure to have you on the show. the president is flaming this as a clear example of full cooperation. he says no collusion, no obstruction, he calls it a witch-hunt. how do you see it? >> he would say that. it's a case of closing the barn door after the story had bolted because "the new york times" had already splashed on its front page that white house lawyer don mcgahn is cooperating with

special counsel robert mueller is and being forthcoming apparently in some of what he's saying and donald trump belatedly tried to say, oh, i authorized this because there's nothing to see here because don mcgahn would only say that i'm completely innocent. well, the problem is we don't know that. in fact, the big story this morning is what exactly has mcgahn told robert mueller? has he said that donald trump was within his legal authority when he fired james comey, the fbi director? when he asked for a halt to the investigation into michael flynn, the national security advise center or when he asked attorney general jeff sessions to take over the investigation again or even when he tried to fire robert mule center is mcgahn saying all of that is legal or is he raising the possibility that this may constitute obstruction of justice? that's the hanging question this morning. we don't know. only robert mueller's team knows what was said in those 30 hours. but donald trump is not at ease with this story. >> you touched on this, the

suggestion coming from the "new york times" report that mcgahn was somehow worried about being set up by the president as the fall guy. >> oh, i think that's quite clear what's happened here. i mean, sources who, and quite clearly thisser to story is ba sources close to mcgahn, sources have told "the new york times" that you have the 1973 precedent during watergate where richard nixon's team through the white house counsel john dean through him under the bus. he pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice. they hoped that would end watergate, of course it didn't. but mcgahn's people are looking at that saying is it possible for donald trump who is not known for loyalty to his subordinates could turn on mcgahn and say i got bad advice, i didn't know i was obstruction s justice, it was my lawyer's fault. this is a way to block off the possibility that he's the fall guy. >> i want to pose this question to you. do you see any similarities between don mcgahn, his role as

counsel to the white house, and the man who served as counsel for the former president richard nixon, john dean? you'll remember dean flipped on the former president and even spent time in prison, but is credited for exposing the watergate scandal. do you see similarities here? >> i think it's a stretch to say that don mcgahn is just like john dean. they're very different personalities and people. what's similar here is the situations. and that is in watergate, remember we had an investigation which took place not only a few months, took place over two years. and that investigation gradually as it got closer and closer to the president meant that you had to put aides up on the frontline and hope they would be the sacrifices to stop it. john dean was that sacrifice in '73, it did not work. now if mcgahn to be the sacrifice will it work this time? i doubt it. just as richard nixon in the end

only had a couple of loyalists around him, donald trump is not loyal to anybody. anyone is expendable except maybe his own family and i'm not even sure that they're safe at this point. >> scott lucas, wow, with the perspective live for us in birmingham, england. thank you for your timed it. we're getting new insight into the lives of kellyanne and george conway. kellyanne who serveds as counselor to president trump and her husband and attorney george conway appear to be living in a divided house of sorts. george says he now regrets ever introducing her to donald trump and as one of the president's biggest crit siks he's gro-- cr he's grown a sizeable twitter following. we have the reporter who first wrote that profile of the couple's complicated political life. >> as power couples go, kellyanne conway and her husband george have something of a short circuit. both are conservative but while

she's the president's fiercest defender. >> there is no den she will not go into. >> he ask a sharp trump critic. now "the washington post" has scored a rare behind the scenes look at their split-level homelife. >> she told me that she rolls her eyes at the tweets and certainly her life would be easier if he wasn't criticizing her boss. >> reporter: criticize something north conway routinely savage dollars the businessman turned politician just this week tweeting what if a ceo routinely made false and misleading statements about himself, the company, and results and publicly attacked business partners, employees, and kowtow to a dangerous competitor? when the president called ohio governor john kasich unpopular, conway posted a poll showing buckeyes think much less of trump. he has had clashes with his political foes and the press over his fallen allies and his lies. they told dana bash last spring.

>> he writes a lot of things that are supportive and a lot of things about philadelphia sports too. >> but to the washington post she said it's disrespectful, a violation of decency certainly if not marital vows. the post said she quickly tried to have her own words attributed to a person familiar with their relationship. >> so she said that and she kinda tried to weise will her way out of it, but i just printed it. >> reporter: her husband, a lawyer, introduced her to trump and now says he regrets it. he was once reportedly considered for an administration job but now seems glad it never happened. she suggests questions about their marriage are sexist. >> i would ask you that if you were a man. >> no you wouldn't. >> and george, he disagrees with his wife about the cause of any friction, too. her problem is with her boss, not me. >> tom forman reporting there.

indicator day and some accuse him of not doing enough to help with the genocide in rwanda. later in his second term he got linked negatively in the oil for food scandal because his son worked for a company which won a lucrative contact california, adding in 2001 did win the nobel peace prize as did the organization. annan was widely praised for his humanity, his touch with people, and even opponents felt when he walked into a room that he might be able to solve this problem where no one else had. kofi annan will be remembered as one of the most successful united nation's secretary generals in history. >> thank you. past leaders are sending messages of condolence. the former president george bush writes this, kofi was a gentle man and tireless leader of the united nations. his voice of experience will be missed around the world. and the president of annan's native ghana issued a statement

saying this. kofi annan was the first from subsaharan africa to occupy this position. he brought considerable renown to our country by this position and throughout his conduct and comportment in the global arena. kofi annan died at the age of 80 years old. he is survived by his wife and his three children. funeral arrangements have not yet been announced or set. grief, anger, and blame in northern italy as families bury their loved ones who died in the genoa bridge collapse. funerals and the calls for justice ahead. also children forced to fight in the columbia's civil war are learning what it's like to live without conflict. cnn's freedom project goes to a place that's helped to fill the void with education, health, safety, and with play. stay with us.
