>> and battles sometimes make great friendships so it's really terrific. this is "new day weekend" with victor blackwell and christi paul. >> good sunday morning to you. president trump is back in the united states as america mourns the loss of former president. we've got live pictures here of air force one. this is at joint base andrews in maryland. good morning to you. thanks for being with us. >> i'm christi paul. we are so glad to have your company here. president trump, as you can see there, getting ready to deplane with word of a possible cease-fire with china. $200 billion in tariffs on chinese goods are on hold now after president trump met with chinese president xi jinping. meanwhile, preparations are

underway to honor the life and legacy of former president george h.w. bush. a memorial service tomorrow begins a week of ceremonies that will recognize america's 41st president. let's start with the announcement from the white house. president trump has agreed to delay imposing billions of dollars of tariffs on chinese made goods. >> the decision is one of several break throughs following the president's meeting with china's president. cnn's sarah westwood joining us now. sarah, what else have you learned? good morning. >> good morning, victor and christi. after the 2 1/2 hour dinner in buenos aires, they say they've had a break through in the contentious trade talks. effectively they've agreed to a delay in the escalation of the trade war. the president will keep the 10% tear rfs on $200 billion worth of chie neegs goods. he won't increase them to what

he said he was going to do on the first of january. that will give them a little bit more than a month to negotiate and in exchange china is saying it will increase significantly its purchase of american agricultural and industrial products. the president saying if this deal with china were to go through, it would be one of the largest deals ever struck in the history of this country. that's something he told reporters aboard air force one but it's yet to be seen if he can achieve the kind of concrete progress that would lead to the elimination of tariffs as they've been wanting and getting other kind of concessions. it was intellectual property theft. meanwhile, the president also tauted a potential breakthrough in the relationship with north korea. he said in january or february he could sit down with north korean leader kim jong-un.

he could expect him to come to the united states and he told reporters aboard air force one the united states is considering three different sites for the second summit with the north korean leader. no word as to where that will be. january or february, that's coming up soon. the president potentially setting himself up for yet another sitdown with the north korean leader. >> sarah westwood, thank you so much. live pictures of air force one at joint base andrews. the president making a lot of news on his flight back from argentina as sarah discussed talking about this pause at least in tariffs with china. also the summit that could happen in the next few weeks, we're into december. potentially as has been suggested by congressional leadership, a stopgap to get beyond the state funeral for george h.w. bush before they get to a funding partial shutdown.

>> one of the other things making news in the last 24 hours has to do with russia and president vladimir putin sticking to his decision on the ongoing conflict with the ukraine. president putin told reporters, quote, he has his position on that, i have mine. this coming days after russia captured three ukrainian ships and 2 dozen sailors. matthew chance following the latest from moscow. matthew, what is being made of president putin's comments there? >> reporter: hey, christi. i think there was some disappointment discussed by the kremlin that this meeting that they had been planning so hard for at the sidelines of the g20 never took place. they were expecting a two-hour

head-to-head meeting and they only learned in the same manner that we all did, when president trump tweeted from air force one when he was en route to ban niece aries. saying they canceled that meeting because of the fact that russia still held 24 ukrainian sailors custody and three naval bases after they intercepted them on this narrow strip of water between the russian main land and the crimean peninsula. in the incident that took place on the high seas a week ago today, in fact. this was the reason why president trump said he canceled that long planned meeting. president putin in a press conference saying that he had answered president trump's questions on that issue but really failed to change his mind on that. so it seems that they agreed to disagree on that issue. but the kremlin still holding out the possibility there will be a meeting face to face, a

proper sitdown meeting in the not too distant future. basically saying, look. there were so many important issues that russia and the united states have to talk about. we have to sit down and arrange a talk. if we do don't, there will be tensions, more in the world. back to you. >> matthew chance, appreciate the heads up so much. >> staying on the u.s. and russia. james mattis said russia tried to medal in the u.s. mid term elections. >> he tried again to muck around in our elections this last month and we are seeing a continued effort along those lines. >> mattis says it has no doubt worsened the relationship between the two countries. earlier president trump canceled a meeting, as we said, with putin. on saturday secretary of state mike pompeo said iran tested a medium range ballistic missile.

that violates a united nations resolution known as the iran nuclear deal. they say it did not pose a direct threat to the u.s. pompeo's statement says the missile iran tested had the capability of carrying multiple warheads. he said the missile tests do not violate any security council resolutions. >> want to talk about something victor had mentioned as well. the government shutdown deadline is this friday. lawmakers are hoping to postpone it until after the funeral. they're planning on a one week long stopgap spending measure that would tie government agent sits over until that time. they're waiting for the white house to agree with that. he couldn't say much before his passing but he did have the strength to say one last thing to his son. we have more on those moments coming up.

>> reporter: we've learned a lot about the final days and the final moments of former president bush's life. we've been told that in his final hours he was surrounded by his family, his son neil bush, his grandson and his best friend james baker. we've been told his final words were actually over the phone. there was a speaker phone in the room and he was speaking to his son, former president george w. bush who we call 43 and his son said to him, dad, you've been a wonderful father, and president bush senior responded, i love you, too. and those were his final words before he passed. the story is also very poignant because there is endless fascination about the relationship between these two men. each one of them used to say to

me, jamie, don't ask about our relationship. we're not into psycho babble, but the fact of the matter is, they were very close and we recently spoke to former president george w. bush about their relationship. >> give me some words to describe your father. >> humble. driven. competitive. willing to listen to the other person. great listener. thoughtful and a person who cared deeply about others who hurt. one of the more very dramatic moments for me came on september 14th at the national cathedral. very fearful of bursting out in tears. the country didn't need to see a weeping president. i felt his hand reach across

laura and grab my arm. a small gesture but it meant a lot to me. it was a very sweet moment of fairly love. >> we know that president george w bush will be the ul low gist. that same place in the national cathedral. the bush men are known to be emotional, that they cry easily and no question when he is memorializing and celebrating his father's life on wednesday it's going to be a very emotional speech. jamie gangel, cnn, washington, d.c. >> jamie, thank you so much. it's been 12 years since the last presidential funeral in the united states. let's bring in presidential historian tim nocktali who is t with the president nixon

library. just a couple of months ago we saw similar services for senator john mccain. what will you expect over the next several days, the style, the tone of the tribute? >> well, first of all, the ceremonies for a president involve a state funeral for the most part. that was not the case for richard nixon, but that had a lot to do with his unique history, but that means that it's a funeral for a former commander in chief, a former president of the united states. there are rituals with the passing and the final ceremony for a commander in chief, that's why we will have a day of mourning. the flags will be at half mass for 30 days. so part of the protocol is a protocol established for all commanders in chief. and, by the way, mrs. bush, whom

i had the honor to meet with president bush three years ago, she told me that planning for president bush's funeral started when they were in the white house. >> wow. >> that the tradition set by jackie kennedy, actually, the tradition is that the first family begins funeral preparations when they're in the white house lest, you know, some unfortunate incident should occur, so the bushes have been thinking about this final good-bye for over 20 years. >> so, tim -- >> yes. >> -- i wanted to ask you about that, because we saw with senator john mccain, we know that it's different, he had quite a hand in crafting his memorial. do we know or do you expect that president bush has some requests for this? >> i don't have -- well, i --

well, i know from mrs. bush, obviously they selected the eulogists. she said to me -- i didn't know her well, i had a remarkable day in kennebuncport. one of our problems is our eulogists keep dying because they've selected a group of people to speak on behalf of and for the president. they made those choices 20 years ago. the family's very, very involved. the fact george herbert walker bush would have been very involved in selecting who would speak about him and for him next week. >> let's talk about this current president. he was not in attendance at barbara bush's funeral, was not at senator mccain's funeral but the white house has said this

will be the first time president trump has been with president obama, with secretary clinton, form j former president clinton, and the first time they've conversed since the inauguration. anything other than boilerplate conversations even given the context of the vitt tree ol over the last year and a half? >> well, i hope the focus of these events will be the life and service of george herbert walker bush and if the focus remains where it should be, then the incumbent president, president trump, should be civil, shake hands, should do what the leader of the united states should do at the national service for a former commander

in chief. there are a lot of rituals. this will be a state funeral. it would have been an absolute insult to the flag if george -- if donald trump had not been there. it's a requirement. it was not a requirement for the president of the united states to be at the funeral of a former first lady. it was not a requirement of the president to be at the funeral of the state funeral for the former commander in chief. donald trump absolutely has to be there, but one would hope that donald trump would remember that the focus is on a past president, not on himself. >> tim, always good to have you. >> thank you both. >> thank you. former president george h.w. bush's joint chief of staff chairman general colin powell and his secretary of state, james baker, as we just said, also his best friend.

for joining us. >> wolf, it's great to be with you. >> let's talk about the late george h.w. bush. how do you see his legacy? >> remarkable american legacy. they don't make them like that very often. i had a chance to get to know him when i was a member of congress and then i held a job he held. i remember talking to him to be the cia director and he said, you'll be great. you'll be awesome. in fact, it was the second best job i ever had. he loved that group of people, that talented espionage agency the most. >> i want to extend my heartfelt sympathies to the family today. >> what can he learn about the life he led? >> it was a true life of service. he was committed to his faith. he was willing to work hard. maybe those would be the three words. if you work at it, keep your faith and you have this commitment to serve, good things can happen. not only to him.

he had a remarkable life but you'll do good work for your fellow man as well. president bush certainly did that. >> he was an amazing man. >> truly amazing. >> i find myself blessed to interview him. i know if he were here he would want to get to substantive issues so in his memory let's talk about the major issues facing the u.s. right now. saudi arabia. do you believe the saudi explanation that the crown prince, mohamed bin salman, did not know about the merd did your of jamal khashoggi. president in this administration sanctions 17 neem we to -- we continue to hold those responsible, accountable. we've been very clear about that

since literally the very beginning. we also, wolf, this is very important, are doing everything we can to make sure we get it right for america. that we keep the strategic relationship with the kingdom of saudi arabia and protect the american people. those two things can be done and we've done it very effectively. >> you have said and you're a former cia director, you said there's no direct reporting connecting the crown prince to order the murder of jamal khashoggi. can you confidently tell his four children that he was not involved in that order? >> obviously sitting in an unclassified setting, here's what i can say. i have read every piece of intelligence that is in the possession of the united states government and when it is done, when you complete that analysis, there's no direct evidence linking him to the murder of jamal khashoggi. that is an accurate statement. it is an important statement and it is the statement that we are making publicly today. >> did the cia conclude with

high confidence that he was involved? >> i can't comment on intelligence matters, cia conclusions. i didn't do it when i was director and i can't do it now. >> you've seen all of the reports in the media. >> i've seen lots of reports in the media, wolf, they often are untrue. >> bottom line is that the u.s. is going to maintain the same relationships now irrespective of what may have happened? >> today we're working with them in afghanistan and he killed hundreds of americans. they are a relationship that has mattered for 70 years across republican and democrat particulars relationship. we're abling to keep this. they're continuing u.s. support for the saudi operation in

yemen. even lindsey graham voted against your position. 14 republican senators voted against you the other day in the senate. >> secretary mattis and i and the president have made very clear, we're working to end the hostilities in yemen, the humanitarian crisis there is epic proportions. millions of people at or near starvati starvation. this administration has pull the billions into stopping this. the iranians, wolf, have put zero dollars in to stopping the humanitarian crisis. we are determined to fix the problem while ensuring that we don't end up with a hezbollah organization on the southern edge of saudi arabia. >> u.s. military support for the saudis will continue? >> the program we're involved in today we intend to continue. >> let's talk about russia, another critical issue. why did the president decide to cancel what was supposed to be a two-hour sfas-to-face meeting

with the president? >> i can actually answer that. i was there. he canceled it because the russians behaved in a way that was deeply inconsistent with international law and is outrageous. to have held the ukrainians that they took in the strait needs to be changed. the president wanted to send a clear, unambiguous message that we find that unacceptable so he canceled the meeting. >> the russians have done other awful things and -- >> this happened hours, days before the series. >> wouldn't it be a good time -- >> hours and days before and the president made the decision that the right thing to do was tell the russians, return the sailors, return the ukrainian equipment. it's theirs. 9 people need to be returned to his families that act. >> and it had nothing to do with the announcement that came an hour before air foorts one, and

all of the new details about the trump tower in moscow. >> ludicrous. i was involved in the decision. >> you were aboard air force one. >> i was aboard air force one. >> nobody discussed michael cohen. >> this is what people need to understand about washington, d.c., it was made up. we considered the opportunity to speak with him. we considered the message we would send. president trump made the decision this was the right approach based on the activity that had taken place in the lead up to the g20 summit. >> so is there going to be an opportunity down the road for the president to meet with putin? >> the president's made clear the conditions for that meeting. >> what are the conditions? >> we want the sailors returned, the ships returned. >> once the russians do that, there will be a summit? >> the president wants to meet and have a conversation wgs

president putin. he's trying to find a way to move forward with russia and now this jumped in the middle of a time where they could have had a discussion where we might make some progress. we regret that. the russians caused this to be canceled. >> when is the president going to meet again with the north korean leader? >> i don't know. i hope it will happen soon. we're working hard at it. i think it will happen shortly after the first of the year but i don't have any additional information to share with you this morning, wolf. >> what's the problem right now with the north koreans? >> the progress we've made is good. >> no, what's the problem? >> the progress we've made is good. we're not having missiles launched. there are no nuclear step. maybe the process of meetings. we're meeting with partners, south koreans, japanese, these

are global sanctions put in place by the united nations security council which denied them the capacity. when they got to a point they became difficult and let them be here and we're working hard at it. >> a final question on mexico. looks like u.s./mexican relations are improving. you're off to mexico for the inauguration of the new president. president trump signed together with the leaders of mexico and canada, u.s., mexico, canada, new trade agreement, but there's still a lot of tension along the border and there's a lot of uproar about whether or not the u.s. should go ahead and build a new wall, spend all of that money. whatever happened to the president's commitment that mexico would pay for the wall? >> the wall is going to get

built. i have developed a good relationship with the incoming counterpart in mexico. he'll travel to washington on his second day in office and we're going to continue to develop this relationship. it's not just focused on the migration issues that draw all the headlines. there are many economic issues between our two countries and other commercial -- we have trans national criminal organizations that we work on together. it's a broad set of relationships. we're going to work with those, too. those are important conversations. >> mexico paying for the wall? >> we're going to get the wall built, wolf. >> will mexico pay for it? >> wolf, we're going to get the wall built. >> i'll leave it at that. >> thank you so much. >> you have a busy day. >> thank you, wolf. have a great day.

38 minutes past the hour right now. one of the most complex and remarkable relationships in president george h.w. bush's life was with president bill clinton. i mean, they had obviously political differences, but they developed this strong bond once they left the -- they had both left the white house. >> president clinton wrote an op ed on saturday calling the relationship with the man he succeeded one of the greatest gifts of his life. suzanne malveaux has more. >> reporter: president bush calls president clinton his brother from another mother because of their close relationship. it was a bitter fight in 1992 and essentially it was bush sr. who called president clinton at the time during that race a

bozo. it was also his son later who would publicly criticize clinton saying that he would usher in a new era into the white house, one with integrity. that being a reference to bill clinton's scandal and impeachment that actually had haunted him and so they were very critical of him. but then something happened. something changed. and that was george w. bush's victory in 2000, that con voe ver -- controversial victory. they had a 90-minute lunch. they both ate a bit of humble pie and buried the hatchett and it grew from there. one of the key things is he asked and tasked both president clinton and his father to try to come up with in february 2005, a relief effort for the tsunami that hit southeast arab that, a

massive effort and whether or not they would be able to raise money. they raised millions and millions of dollars shortly after his first term. and then months later is when katrina hit. that was in late august and again he tasked his father and president clinton to try to raise private donations to try to help out in that relief effort. at the time he was undergoing a great deal of criticism for his administration's slow response to hurricane katrina. those two presidents sat down with me at the white house at the time and defended his administration. >> there are some people who say they have been living like animals, no food, no water, no power. and they are the ones who are saying, where are the buses? where are the planes? why did it take three days to see a real federal response here? mr. bush, you -- whether it's fair or not -- have gone through

some criticism about the handling of hurricane andrew. do you believe this was warranted? >> yes, i do. i don't think they should be as upset but i can understand why they are. the administration is doing the right thing and they have acted in a timely fashion. i understand people being critical. that happens all the time. and i understand some people wanting to make, you know, little difficulty criticizing the president and the team, but i don't want to sit here and not defend the administration which in my view has taken all the right steps and they're facing problems that nobody could for see, breaking of the levies, the whole dome thing over new orleans coming apart. people couldn't for see that. >> i think that's important to point out because when you say, well, they should have done this, that or the other thing

first, you can look at that problem in isolation and you can say that, but look at all the other things they had to deal with. i'm telling you, nobody thought this was going to happen like this. what happened here is they escaped -- new orleans escaped katrina but it ran all the way ter up the mississippi river whmpt it started running out, they had problems they had ever seen. there's a confident effort underway. i don't think it's that way. >> president clinton said it was one of the greatest gifts to work with president george h.w. bush. they would play golf to raise money for charities and most recently what we saw is a tweet from president bush visit from clinton in june of this year when he had his own book tour.

the two of them smiling, laughing, joking of course wearing his colorful socks, as he has been known to do. this one president clinton on his socks, introducing him to his service dog sully. the two of them close to the very end. a very rare, rare example of bipartisan and simply meeting and developing a friendship that turned into love. suzanne malveaux, cnn, houston, texas. so it's december. we're not usually talking about tornadoes in december, but this weekend we are because nearly two dozen of them, look at this, hit illinois and there is a fear this morning that there are people who could be trapped inside partially collapsed homes. we have details next. place as clean as i would like 'cuz i'm way too busy. who's got the time to chase around down dirt, dust and hair? so now, i use heavy duty swiffer sweeper and dusters.

tornadoes that hit central and western illinois yesterday. >> the small town of taylorville is said to be one of the hardest hit. more than 100 homes damaged. look at what these people are dealing with as we head into the christmas holiday, too. emergency crews say a number of people were trapped inside partially collapsed buildings. we know first responders have been going door to door looking for anyone who can be stuck or injured. we hope that if you have people there you've heard from them already and that you know they're okay. if not, be sure that the emergency services there are working to find people. >> for sure. let's go now to cnn meteorologist allison chinchar for the hurricane outbreak. how rare is this? >> this is pretty rare. you think of tornadoes in march, april, may, but even the midwest can get some tornadoes in the fall, say around october, november, but not december. typically in illinois you think of snow in december, not tornadoes. we've had the perfect setup.

you had that cold air coming from the north and a lot of the warm air from the southeast. a lot of those cities are 15 degrees above average. this was really where the focus went. over 20 reported yesterday not to mention the wind and hail reports that came in knocking power lines and tree limbs down. severe weather threat for today. most of it is rain transitioning into snow. the focus is going to be in the south. we have a tornado watch in effect right now until 11:00 this morning. look at all of that lightning with that intense line of thunderstorms as well. we have a severe thunderstorm warning around alabama. that's for the next ten minutes or so. this is where the focus for severe weather is going to be for the day today. cities like columbia, augusta, even places like savannah and wilmington will have the threat for tornadoes, damaging winds as well as hail. a lot of very small cells may

wind up firing up many of them. that's where the intensity of the storm may be. we already have strong storms out there already this morning. the other concern is flooding. a lot of these areas have been dealing with rain the last couple of days, victor and christi. some of these areas have picked up four to six inches of rain and they're going to get more on top of it. >> allison chinchar, thanks for watching it for us. there's new fallout over this tough to watch video that shows star nfl running back kareem hunt appearing to shove and kick a young woman. the kansas city chiefs now have cut him from the team and hunt's talking about it. plaque psoriasis can be relentless. tremfya® is for adults with moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. with tremfya®, you can get clearer. and stay clearer. in fact, most patients who saw 90% clearer skin at 28 weeks stayed clearer through 48 weeks. tremfya® works better than humira® at providing clearer skin, and more patients were symptom free with tremfya®.

star nfl running back kareem hunt no longer with the kansas city chiefs this morning. the team released him after a video surfaced, it's pretty tough to watch. >> yeah. the video appears to show hunt shoving and kicking a woman. now the nfl and law enforcement are investigating. we have more now from cnn's paulo sandoval. >> reporter: the latest nfl controversy centering on what really happened in february when kareem hunt in just his second year with the league allegedly assaulted a 19-year-old woman at a hotel in cleveland. >> i was assaulted and i think his name is kareem. >> reporter: first obtained by tmz, it's a conversation in a hotel hallway and quickly escalates into a shoving match between kareem and the woman. the woman is seen falling to the ground more than once.

>> there are two women that have bruises and cuts all over them. >> reporter: hunt is also seen allegedly kicking her while she's on the ground. hunt also seen on this cleveland police body cam footage now without a shirt on being questioned by police. no charges are filed according to nfl.com. during the off season hunt was asked about what lessons he learned from the february night? >> i've learned from it and focused ond football. >> reporter: when pressed by reporters he wouldn't elaborate on it. >> going to keep thinking about football and go out there and do my job. >> reporter: on the same day kansas city chief ceo, clark hunt, who had previously said he wanted a roster full of guys with, quote, high character, was asked if he had any concerns about the second year player. >> kareem is a young man, second year in the league. obviously had a very big year on the field last year. i'm sure he learned some lessons this off season and hopefully won't be in those kind of

situations in the future. >> reporter: after the video surfaced the nfl announcing kareem hunt was placed on the commissioner exempt list meaning he can't practice, play or attend games. the chiefs releasing him and this statement which in part referenced conversations between the player and his team earlier this year. kareem was not truthful in those discussions. the video released today confirms that fact. we are releasing kareem immediately. the team also acknowledging in its new statement that the nfl, along with law enforcement, began separate investigations about the february incident shortly after it happened. kareem hunt telling espn i want to apologize for my actions. i deeply regret what i did. i hope to move on from this. a potential black eye on this where they mishandled ray rice who was seen on tape assaulting his ex-wife in an atlantic city

hotel. it took them five months to suspend him. charges against rice were dropped after he completed a pre-trial intervention program but he hasn't returned to the nfl. rice incident forcing the nfl to make major changes in how it handled domestic assault. the nfl claiming at the time it hadn't seen a critical piece of evidence which showed rice dragging his then fiance out of the elevator. the league hired robert mueller whose report ultimately supported the nfl on this measure. now more questions for the nfl which has known about this latest incident for nearly a year. >> thank you to cnn's paulo sandoval for the report. one of the things that george h.w. bush is remembered for is his demeanor, cool and

calm, but the former u.s. president also had a lighter side, and he was not afraid to laugh at himself. >> so last night on "saturday night live" they paid tribute to the former president and tribute to his sense of humor. >> president bush was famously a warm and gracious man who always understood the power in being able to laugh at your self. >> thousand points of lights still operating coming in from all those areas. not gada do it. not gada. >> george bush here. i'm watching you do your impression of me and i've got to say, it's nothing like me. bears no resemblance. it's bad. it's bad. >> well, i'm sorry, mr. president. i think it's a farm press. >> don't see it. >> you don't? >> it's totally exaggerated. it's not me. those crazy hand gestures. the pointing thing. i don't do them.

also, not gada, never said it. in all of my years of government service i never once said nagada. >> comedian he released a statement about the former president saying this. quote. it was an honor and privilege to snow and spend time with george h.w. bush more than 25 years. when i think of those times what i remember most is how hard we would laugh. i will miss my friend. the 41st president of the united states, george h.w. bush has died. >> i, george herbert walker bush, do solemnly swear. we are the measures and the peace and freedom and the rule of law. i love being president. i'm working at trying to help people and do
