e.com/safety. the u.s. president doubles down. donald trump once again insulting a top military leader. when dares to criticize him. this time it's the retired admiral who master minded the raid that captured sam bane laden. experts warning the it may bring a new set of danger. and a young girl sold on facebook. we'll tell you at the online auction for a child bribe. >> welcome our viewers from the united states and around the world. live from london. this is cnn "newsroom."

donald trump says he loves the u.s. military. but managed to find himself in the cross mares after a misfire. directed at the armed forces. this time he's gone after the architect that killed osama bin laden. >> commander in chief trump, verbally assaulting retired four star admiral mcraven. who led the dangerous mission. >> he's a hillary clinton backer. and obama backer. and frankly. >> he was a navy seal. >> wouldn't it have been nice to get him sooner than that. >> conditioned commanding covert operations arntd the world. including seal team 6. and including troops who helped capture saddam hussein and captain phillips from pirates.

he's not backing down. telling cnn i sand by my comment. that the president attack on the media is the greatest threat to the democracy in my lifetime. trump then doubling down. tweeting. of course we should have captured bin laden long before we did. trump furious about an august op-ed in which mcraven defended former cia director john brennan. after he revoked his security clearance. saying i would consider it an honor if you revoke any clearance as well. defending saying he always put the military first. another four star special operation commander fired by president obama. defended mcraven against trump. >> the president is wrong. >> and raised the issue why the president didn't visit arlington

cemetery this past veterans day. >> if you really don't care. it would be a dishonest no pretend you do. >> reporter: the president says in the future he will go. >> in retro spect i should have. i did last year. and i will every year. >> reporter: his insults to military heros go back to the 2016 presidential campaign. attacking john mccain. who spent five years as a pow. in north vietnam. >> he's not a war hero. he was captured. i like people that weren't captured. >> as a candidate criticizing gold star parents. >> you have sacrificed nothing. and no one. >> especially a mother whose son was killed in iraq. >> look at his wife. she was standing there she had nothing to say. probably not allowed. you tell me. >> professor of international

politics. in the seat. thank you for coming. what was your reaction first of all to the reaction you had from donald trump most recently in relation to a very royal respected member of the military? >> president trump classically does this. trying to divert attention from the story. mcraven saying in the article that president trump is attacked press freedom. attacking democratic rights broadly and has damaged america's international reputation. and that is what president trump wants to move away from. by labeling him as a democratic and not a military person. and thereby dismergeing the record by raising bin laden death for example. >> which is the strategy he used throughout his campaign and presidency. if you're not with me you're against me. also this idea of distraction. >> absolutely. the strategy is something he's

skilled at and gets the conversation shifted around away from the original question. which is he is a authoritarian. almost a president beyond and above everything. he's not even loyal to the republican party. which has been behind him for much of the time. >> many people argue smart as well. the way he manages to control the agenda. >> he knows how to shift the narrative. on the other hand in the end i think he's trying to suggest that party identification is the most important thing about this. and even there i think he could be on more thinner ice. as we approach 2020. because a lot of people are getting including republicans are getting more and more weary. by his attacks on key institutions like the military. >> the military obviously held dear to republicans and democrats of course. particularly republicans in politics traditionally. do you think he crossed a line by attacking members of the

military? well regarded ones like this gentleman. >> his main is he's loyal to nothing. he's loyal to no one. except to himself and flattering his base. he will come out fighting against anyone who raises a voice it him. and as a result of that the military is generally speaking the most highly regarded institution in the united states. for obvious reasons. and i think at a certain point we don't know when it will be, that sort of patience with him among republicans will wear thin. his base which is the principle object. has been withering away. the last congressional elections, it could be the democrats got 232 seats in the house. that means they won something like 39 seats. and i think people estimate if you win between 30 and 50 you have had a good run. >> you're not reflecting the success the republicans had in the senate. >> it's true. he held on.

on the other hand that was probably likely to happen. because there were more democratic seats which are up opposed to republican ones. in 2020, the situation will be different. >> you have suggested that perhaps donald trump was on point with the national mood with the last election and could be moving away from it. what's that based on? >> some extent if you like the personality of the president, which challenged the entire establish political system up to 2016 as responsible for a deep crisis of a broken america of a c catastrophe. he captured that mood in a big way. the people were upset with the democrat and republican parties. looking for big solutions they were looking for a kind of big shift in american society. which would enable people to achieve the american dream. and deprived of by big powerful institutions like wall street and so on.

he hasn't revived that at all. the level of credibility and le jet ma si of the american political system haven't been restored by trump. his base loves him. but even his base or elements are hemorrhaging away sfwl one of his great attack points was it comes down to the democrat line. he would attack clinton on her use of private e-mail. for public work. he would use that. to call her a criminal. what do you make of the latest revelation that his daughter has been using her private e-mail account for public work. >> yes. one of the key things about president trump and the whole administration is that there's a sense which the trump family now owns the american government. and to some extent that feeds into therefore a blurring of the lines between the trump organization and the american system of government. itself. in doing raising that issue now

with the ivanka trump for example and talking about clintons e-mails. private e-mail server. effectively what you raise is the idea among the establishment politics that there is a blurring of the line. whether an american president is elected they bring in several thousands of their best friends into the government and take control of the government. that's not new. under president trump. the clinton has been doing that for a while too. but i think this shows there's an under lying contradiction here. he does raise the issue that there's more to it than just the trump personality trump family here. there is a kind of history and past. of a big american families taking control. >> professor. thank you very much. >> the white house is backing down from a legal fight to restore the press pass of jim acosta. this came hours of cnn asked for

another emergency court hearing because the administration had threatened to revoke the pass. also on monday the white house detailed new rules for reporters at presidential press conferences. journalists allowed one question and only the president or aids can decide if follow ups will be permitted. >> judge blocked president trump order that bans asylum applications from anyone who entered the u.s. ill leely. to stop large numbers of immigrants from the so called caravan from crossing the border. thousands are now waiting at the border in tijuana. mexico. while the u.s. border patrol closed their port of entry in san diego. california. the judge restraining order will remain in effect until december 19. parts of fire scorched california facing threat now. possible flooding and mud slides from heavy rain forecast for later this week. at least 82 people have died from the wild fire in northern and southern california.

the search for remains is unlike any in california history. >> this is the largest search and rescue operation in california ever. 500 volunteers from all over california. and that's just unprecedented. >> reporter: the number of people unaccounted for is down from 1,200. to under 1,000. authorities are trying to witle down the list. as survivors are found. >> this is till raw data. my objective of finding progress or moving forward. even though the numbers in many cases seem quite daunting. >> those displace nd camping and area parking lots are spreading out to shelters ahead of rain. >> we are having rain come in unfortunately. >> reporter: four to six inches desperately needed before the fire. that fear will cause mud slides and debris flow. >> it will diminish a lot of flames that are taking place.

however, it's not pose a hasrd to the firefighters because they're back there in dirt roads. dirt trails. trying to fight the fire. it will turn into mud. which will be another hazard. >> still out of the devastation. more rescue stories. a bus driver a few months on the job shuttled two teachers and 22 elementary school children to safety. and rescued a third teacher along the way. a five hour odd see through flame. >> there was smoke everywhere. and people trying to get out. >> it was time to go. it's much worse than we have ever seen. let's get the kids that are here and get them out. >> reporter: cal fire estimates 80 to 90% of the homes destroyed in paradise, california. the bus driver the fourth grader. one of the teachers. all lost their homes.

>> more on the weather conditions in california. >> we continue to see better containment. we heard it's not completely out. 65%. so we're doing better. we need rainfall that would be great if it came as far as any light rain. that would be great. it won't come that way. we'll talk about that specifically. 61,000 burned. the worst most destructive fire in california. and as you have been mentioning the worst air quality. this believe is or not level four is an improvement to where we were. we had level five which takes us to very unhealthy as far as the air quality last week. one of the worst san francisco folks have seen. this is what i was eluding to. the rain coming in won't be light. it will be heavy. and it is going to be falling on the scar landscape. into friday.

another batch of heavy rain moving in. this may continue heading into early next week. it's not unusual to get into the wet patterns in california. we're in the season. what is unusual is such a destructive so late in the season. that has been more and more through the last several decades. 126 millimeters of rainfall. that is not good. if that happens, we have a good idea it will. as far as the heavy rain. we could be looking at quite an event here as far as mud slides. because of the 60 plus thousand that burned here. flood watches in effect and folks are bracing for water that is going to fall on this. no vegetation. where will the water go? because of the topography. it will fall into the valley. the burn scars are going to be there. and of course because of the recent fire we have more so we had this last year and lost a lot of people as a result. this is a big threat. it comes when yo talk about

heavy rainfall on top of what we have had. which has been the a lot of landscape completely gone. paradise, california erased. forecast. rain continues wednesday and these will come again in significant bursts of rainfall. on friday we'll have another one as well. turning rainy and windy. in california. adding the mud slides threat. on top of what we have. >> thank you. to find out how you can help the victims of the wild fires, head to our web site. a list of vetted charities helping those in the most need. facebook is facing yet another controversy after a child bride is reportedly sold off by her family on the social net work. groups are demanding an information and action. a police officer killed in a hospital shooting in chicago.

aware the government at the moment is propped up by the democratic union. so theresa may lost her majority at the last election in 2017, in order to function as a government she struck a confidence and supply deal with the dup. she relies on the to get any kind of business. through government. that's essential votes like the most fundamental things such as budget. last night because the dup aren't happy with how the prime minister is handling brexit and specifically the matters relating to northern ireland in her brexit plan. they actually ab stained and voted with the ob opposition. it shows this confidence in supplier arrangement the way the british government is currently functioning it falling apart at the seams. and the dup said they're not in the mood to play ball. if the prime minister won't do the same and respect the integrity of the united king doll. they feel they're treated

differently in the draft brexit deal. now the next thing that's important is as you mention the prime minister new cabinet with fresh faces and familiar faces. meeting for the first time behind me. the cabinet is supposed to make sure brexit is executed in the way the prime minister wants it to. it's still rif with division. even though she had a brexit secretary. he's considered to be not particularly influential character in the negotiations. he will be focusing on no keel planning and domestic preparation for brexit. she still has to manage the divisions. over the weekend her chief and cabinet met to discuss how to change the draft deal. this is a critical week. she's trying to final lu get the rubber stamp on the draft brexit text. which has taken so long to negotiate. a lot at stake. the way -- go ahead.

>> the specific parts of the deal. they want to change is about the northern island backstop, right? >> yes. so most of the issues that brexit and the dup have with theresa may draft brexit deal revolve around the issue to avoid a hard border in ireland. in the current form the entire uk stays in a custom union until another solution is found. or extension of the transition period. something which brexit doesn't want to see happen. in the draft brexit text which the prime minister presented to the cabinet it said the transition could be extended to 20 xx. seeing that would strike fear into the heart of brexit tiers. worried that brexit will keep being delayed. it is an issue of how to avoid the hard border in northern ireland. which is the main sticking point. not just for the prime minister brexit plan but for the

functioning of her government. >> long day ahead for the prime minister. thank you very much. u.s. president trump comments about prevents forest fires sparked a social media circus. postings of plans to rake america great again. how that is supposed to work. just ahead. big toe of that sexy italian boot! so this holiday season it's ancestrydna per tutti! order your kit now at ancestry.com
