the u.s. and mexico reached a deal. trump tariffs on mexico on hold for now. the u.s. president escalates his feud with house speaker nancy pelosi, calling her a disgrace to herself and her family. we'll get in to that. also this hour -- >> the people of fairborn could be britain's first climate change refugees. >> a stark warning for one
1:01 am
smallville think on tsmall v smallvil smallvillea smallvil smallvilleage on the welsh coast. and why oceans matter to our existence. welcome to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. i'm natalie allen. >> and i'm george howell. "newsroom" starts right now. 4:00:00 on the u.s. east coast.. >> mr. trump announced in a tweet that negotiator tos reached a deal to avoid duty on all products imported from mexico. he said the tariffs set to go into effect monday had been indefinitely suspended. >> so on the deal, here are the highlights. mexico says that it will take unprecedented steps to curb illegal migration. it will deploy its national guard focusing in on the border with guatemala, and it will also take action to dismantle human trafficking networks and asylum see, entering the united states
1:02 am
will be sent back to mexico to wait while their asylum claims are processed. both countries say that they will work to build more prosperous and secure central america to address the root cause of migration. >> in a statement secretary of state mike pompeo says that the u.s. looks forward to working with mexico on its commitments. negotiations between high level u.s. and mexican officials began we and friday's session lasted much longer than expected. >> michelle company zinkocompak report. >> reporter: 12 long hours inside the state department and this ended up being a real negotiation, a real give and take between the u.s. and mexico, not just the trump administration telling mexico you need to do x, x and x or else if the trifts ariffs on mo against all mexican goods on monday. both sides had to give up something. what the u.s. got was a commitment from mexico for
1:03 am
better border enforcement and doing more to break up its elaborate trafficking networks. that though will take some time. that is not something that you see results on overnight. although the better border enforcement with mexican national guard might drop the numbers somewhat of people crossing the border. what the u.s. didn't get is what it really wanted on the asylum issue. it wanted mexico to degree to be declared legally what is known as a third safe country so that people passing through looking for slooicasylum ultimately in united states would first have to apply for asylum in mexico. and then the u.s. could deport people who didn't get asylum in the u.s. easily back to mexico. mexico did not go for that. what the u.s. did get was for mexico to say, okay, we'll take back the people who make to the u.s. and are going through the
1:04 am
asylum process, we'll take care of those people in mexico while they wait the process out. so the u.s. didn't fully get what it wanted on asylum, but it did get something. what the u.s. will have to give up though is that it agreed to speed up the asylum aprocess an to contribute more to development program, development assist tabs, not just in central, but in southern mexico. that is something that the trump administration recently cut off. but mexico insisted that the u.s. contribute to the root causes, the poverty and the violence, which is why people are trying to get to the united states in the fist place. so that is it. case closed. each side gave up something and got something. so no tariffs on mexico for now.
1:05 am
>> james boyce is a professor at richmond american international university in london. good to have you with us. >> good morning, george. >> james, what is your read on this? because there is definitely a give and take here as michelle just pointed out. the united states wanted everyone traveling through mexico to claim asylum there first before being able to claim asylum in the u.s. that is not what they got. instead the u.s. has agreed to expand its program to return migrants to mexico. so the u.s. didn't get what it wanted, but both sides did move here. >> indeed. and frankly, that is what you would expect in any international negotiation, isn't it, quite frankly, that both sides would come to a negotiating table with their own aspirations and come away with a little bit of what both sides want without one side dominating completely.
1:06 am
so i think both mexico and the united states have got much to be happy with here. it is not an ideal solution, and this isn't going to end the migration flows coming this to mexico and then further on into the united states. but clearly i think this gives both sides something to cling on to to claim some degree of victory you including the president. >> and to push forward on your point, mexico certainly under pressure to show results. that nation will put forward an enforcement surge is what they are calling it, putting more national guard troop on the southern border. both sides agree if there is no difference, the two will continue talks over the next 9d 0 d 90 days and further action may be necessary. so is this more of a bandage on a much bigger problem? >> yeah, i don't think there is any doubt about that. this hasn't solved the problem of migration flows through central america and the impact that has as many of them make their way into the united states without paperwork.
1:07 am
but very, very clearly this is something which in the short term is enabling both sides to claim some degree of success. one of the great challenges of course is the threats to impose these tariffs and to impose harsher restrictions upon travel through mexico into the united states has arguably caused a spike in those numbers. the arrests in may were at a 12 year high quite frankly. and you have to ask whether that was in part because of an attempt to get this before these harsher penalties were introduced. there were also reports that businesses were desperately trying to get their goods and services across the mexican border at the back end of last week out of fear of these tariffs. so donald trump's efforts to talk about a tariff war and imposing this increasing imposition of penalties upon mexico has clearly had an affect and clearly something that i think that he is quiching in his back pocket that he can pull out
1:08 am
again if indeed the negotiations don't go anywhere. >> a little more on that point. the pressure from republicans. the pressure from business leaders. do you think that that made a difference here with this president over tariffs? the president maybe agreeing to settle here on this agreement now rather than implementing tariffs and then hoping for a better deal? >> i think the difficulty was that as soon as tariffs had actually been introduced, they could only really have been withdrawn once you could start seeing some tangible benefit from that. and that was always going to be quite difficult. especially because the main people who were going to be hit in the short to medium tell were likely to be the american public as they saw an increase in the cost of everything that was imported from mexico. there is no doubt that business leaders, republicans, democrats, all seemed to be opposed to this idea of the imposition of tariffs. and when you consider just how close we are now getting to the 2020 election campaign, the very last thing that donald trump
1:09 am
wants quite frankly is the cost of everything in the united states going up and that having an adverse effect on the economy which of course is his strong card i think moving in to his re-election campaign. >> and democrats watching that very closely. they are reacting of course to this deal. here is what chuck schumer had to say about it. you can sense the sarcasm here. he says real donald trump announced that he has cut a deal to greatly reduce or eliminate illegal immigration coming from mexico and in on the united states. how that the problem is solved, i'm sure we won't be hearing any more about it in the future. so that from democrats there. look, does this allow the president to say that he accomplished his goal on immigration should the flow of migrants dramatically drop and if so, what does that mean for him in 2020? >> what makes you think that chuck schumer is not being sincere there, gonl george?
1:10 am
>> i think donald trump does have a record of announcing deals and making it sound like the problem has gone away. he did it similar with regard to irs isis in the middle east. if however there is a reduction in migration flows in to the united states, that is something that donald trump can point to. but let's not forget that stemming migration flow there is to the united states from mexico is something that democrats and republicans agree upon and there is a lot of footage advocacy of senator schumer saying very similar things in past years to donald trump. i think where they disagree is programs t perhaps the methods. but this should be a bipartisan issue and would be in the best interests of democrat and republican leaders to come together to find a way to address the problem once and for all. >> i just have to say though, you could sense the sarcasm
1:11 am
coming from that tweet. that one in particular. james boys, we appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you. the u.s. customs and border protection reported more arrests of migrants at the border in may than at any other time in the last 13 years. >> gary tuchman shows us what that means on the ground. >> reporter: what we witnessed and what you are about to see was chaotic, depressing, emotional and sad. we spent part of the afternoon with agents with u.s. border patrol in a van with them as they patrolled the border they're el paso, texas. and what we saw in a 60 minute span was them apprehend eight different family units, 25 people, most of them children, every five or ten minutes people were coming out of the rio grande. first person was emaciated, 25 years old with a 6-year-old son and 9 month old baby, they were all hungry, thirsty, and they were all sick. she said that she was very poor. and she had to come from
1:12 am
guatemala because she had no money left and no means. she had heard that people had gotten to the united states as long as they brought children with them. she was apprehended. we also met sandy, she didn't come with any children, she is 8 1/2 months pregnant and she came from honedurashonduras, tas and trains and walking to get to the united states. she said her husband and brother were killed by gang members that she had to leave and come here. and then we met a man who brought two sons. of a he was apprehended, he started crying. tears of happiness, he says, that he made it with his son. he is very happy. they are crying out of happiness when they realized that they were no longer on this journey. something very notable, the reon gra rio grande separates texas from
1:13 am
mexico. it is relatively dry and people can walk across it. and then they saw this huge 18-foot fence which is about 1,000 feet north of the river. all of them thought they had to figure out a way to get over the fence, the border patrol said no, you are already in the united states. so this fence does nothing to stop people from entering the lankd of the united stat land of the united states. the border patrol are very professional, they are very consider cat and thate and they job being ambassadors to these people. gary tuchman, cnn, el paso, texas. the u.s. and russia are being a accusing one another of reckless military behavior after two of hatheir warships almost collided in the pacific. >> take a look at this video. the u.s. navy released the video of the encounter. it says russia's destroy erma an unsafe maneuver that forced the u.s. ship to abruptly reverse its begins to avoid a collision.
1:14 am
>> but russia disputes that saying the united states is the one that instigates this. what they do agree on, the two investigation se vessels came within 130 feet of each other. >> and this is not the first time the two militaries have had a close call this week. >> barbara starr reports that these types of encounters are becoming increasingly common. >> reporter: u.s. sailors kept the camera running as they recorded a russian destroyer nearly colliding with their ship. in the traumatic encounter, the russian warship moves to within 50 to 100 feet of their cruiser. a u.s. aircraft overhead documents the russian wake of their ship making a sudden high speed turn coming up alongside the u.s. warship. all of this taking place in the philippine sea in international waters. ask acting defense secretary patrick shanahan says the u.s. will
1:15 am
protest to moscow. >> we'll have military to military conversations with the russians and of course to me safety is what is important. it will not deter us from conducting our operations. >> reporter: a collision was narrowly avoided when the american commander ordered the ship into full reverse at high speed. >> that is a very aggressive engine maneuver to conduct. to reverse the direction of those propellers to try to get the some into stop or to slow down as quickly as possible, to 10,000 ton cruiser, it won't stop on a dime. >> reporter: despite the severity of the episode, russian sailors are captured sun bathing on the deck of their ship. the russian state run news agency claim the u.s. instigating the encounter. tuesday a russian fighter yet flew right in front of a navy patrol aircraft over the
1:16 am
mediterranean sea. addre and last month, they intercepted russian aircraft off the coast of alaska. >> they are trying to challenge the united states at every particular point that they feel that they can get away with it. >> reporter: navy officials say the russians have been shadowing the americans at a safe distance for this time. and that convinces them that the russians knew exactly what they were doing. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. president trump is back in the united states and he has plenty to say about his democratic opponents in congress. a report from capitol hill is ahead for you. also, put people on the moon? been there, done that. where president trump now wants the u.s. to go. we'll have that coming up too.

1:21 am
>> and so he had insults. manu raju has this. >> reporter: president trump continuing the assault on nancy pelosi. the graves of u.s. soldiers behind him on the somber 75th an verse rich t anniversary of the d-day invasion, calling pelosi a disgrace to herself and her family. >> i think she is a disx-rays. i don't think that she is a talented person. she is a nasty, vindictive portable person. i call her nervous nancy. she is a disaster. >> reporter: trump responding to pelosi's private comments in the capitol where she said she doesn't want to see trump impeached, she wants him in prison. >> she made a statement horrible vicio vicious -- >> while you were overseas. >> while you wereoff seas. >> reporter: but pelosi actually avoided criticizing the
1:22 am
president publicly. behind the scenes, the debate over whether to impeach the president has taken a new turn. cnn has learned jerry nadler is pressing pelosi to open up an impeachment inquiry arguing that it would bolster the democrats' battles with the trump administration in course. in the same meeting where pelosi said she wanted trump in prison, nadler said an impeachment inquiry would let hit committs play the main role in the investigation and freeing up other panels to push forward on legislation instead. but sources say that he met resistance from pelosi and also adam schiff. the divide evident this week when nadler would notelosi are page over mounting an inquiry. >> when this decision is made, it will be made not by one individual. >> reporter: nadler is feeling growing pressure from members of his own committee and from 2020 candidates and in white house
1:23 am
defiance of their subpoena. >> it is an intolerable situation. >> i do believe that the judiciary committee and the house should go forward with impeachment inquiry. >> reporter: and the house will take its first real step to try to enforce subpoenas that have as to far not been complied with. the house will authorize the house judiciary committee to go to court to enforce the subpoena to bill barr to turn over the unredacted mueller report and also for don mcgahn to turn over records that they have not complied with. that same resolution that will be approved by the full house will authorize all committees to go to court directly by passing the full house in order to pursue any subpoenas that have not been complied with by this administration, democrats say this is necessary. republicans say it is overreach and it could lead for more court
1:24 am
fights. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. president trump has also been thinking about the united states' role in space. >> he has been beefing up the space agency's budget, bullpen now he is changing his mind about its goals. brian stelzer explains now it is on to mars. >> reporter: yeah, this is a bit of a flip-flop from president trump from it makes space geeks very happy. they want to see america or some other country land on mars and that is what trump is now emphasizing. in a tweet on friday, he is saying for all the money we are spending, nasa should not be talking about going to the moon. we did that 50 years ago. they should be focused on the much bigger things including mars of which the moon is a part, defense and science. a little confusing there. trump saying the moon is part of mars. i think what he means is that there has been a lot of talk within nasa and among outside researchers about returning to the moon and using that as a staging area pre-effort on
1:25 am
the way to mars. that is a popular view among experts. but i spoke with an apollo astronaut who disagrees. he says the goal should be mars, that shoosh the fuld be the foc. do you think realistic when i talks about his vision? >> no, i think his vision is going back to the moon. i don't think that he is too much aware of mars. maybe he doesn't understand that there is a planet mars. >> reporter: quite a jab there from a former astronaut toward president trump. but now trump is talking more about mars. in this new tweet, he is it emphasizing that is where he wants to see nasa focusing. the question of course as it often is with president trump, whether his tweets carry the weight and impact of impact policy or whether it was just
1:26 am
his opinion. we'll see if there are any changes as a result of the new statement saying he wants to focus on mars, not the moon. brian stelter, cnn, new york. the u.s. and mexico reach a deal, but is the plan workable and is the agreement legal? we talk with an immigration lawyer. and a little later, france makes a statement on pitch in the opening match of the women's world cup. we have the highlights for you. t congestion? or suffer excess mucus? try mucinex 12 hour. the bio layer tablet immediately releases to thin and loosen excess mucus. and lasts for 12 hours. mucinex 12 hour. just between us, you know what's better than mopping? anything! at the end of a long day,

1:30 am
on the tariffs on mexican products will not begin on monday as had been planned. mexico agreed to take, quote, be unprecedented steps to curb illegal migration. the u.s. and russia are playing the blame game after two warships almost collided in the pacific. each side accusing the other of making reckless and dangerous maneuvers in the incident on friday. the vessels came within 100 feet or 30 meters of one another. queen elizabeth turned 93 in april, but her official birthday celebration starts in a few hours in london. a highlight is the traditional military parade called trooping the color. the duchess of sussex will attend, the first public appearance since she gave birth. turning now to the u.s. tariffs on mexico that have been put on hold now after a deal on migration has been reached. mexico is to take unprecedented
1:31 am
steps to increase enforcement to curb migration. >> that's right, this deal comes during a surge of migrants crossing in to the united states. officials say it puts a major strain on resources. last month alone, more than 130,000 migrants arrived in the united states you through the south. u.s. customs and border protection says that is a 32% increase from the previous month and the hayeighest monthly totan more than a decade. >> holly cooper is the co-director of the immigration law clinic at the university of california in davis. holly, thanks so much for being with us. >> thank you, natalie. >> first of all, the u.s. wanted mexico to hear the asylum claims in mexico. instead they will still be heard in the u.s. but people will have to wait in mexico. is that reasonable compromise? is it workable? >> it is not. currently what we're seeing is waiting times upward of november. so essentially with an immigrant
1:32 am
who asks for political asylum, is forced to wait in a halfway house in mexico and it is very difficult as you can imagine to cross the border even just to find a lawyer that is willing to meet with individuals in mexico, prepare their case in mexico, and then come back to the united states where their office is located. so there is a lot of notice issues, a lot of immigrants are saying they are not getting notice of the hearings. the next court date for individuals recently appre-henlded will be in november. so you are talking about stwra ordina extra obstacles that we're seeing. >> so if that were to be worked out, would it be legal to have same-s mexico step in and work on this? >> there are two issues. mooeks compa mexico has its own slooichasyl
1:33 am
procedures. and they are very deefficient, ve deficient. very small numbers win asylum in mexico. they are completely understaffed. very few asylum officers in mexico. and the grant rates are also very low. and most individuals are coming through mexico to get to the united states to apply for asylum rather than apply in mexico. >> so that is one area. the other area, another front, is stopping people in the first place from getting on to the u.s. so mexico is sending troops to its southern border to try to curtail the massive migrant flow we're seeing from central america. is this a tenable solution? >> we don't believe it is. part of what is at issue is most immigrants when they are migrating from central america to the united states consider mexico to be one of the most dangerous parts of the journey. part of the reason for that is the mexican government itself. oftentimes immigrants have told me stories,less stories
1:34 am
about how they are being robbed, they are held for long periods of timing, they are not given the option to even apply for political asylum and they are sum mary errily dayo sum mary d. we believe people should have the right under international law to seek asylum here in the united states. >> so we see mexico bending to the president saying you have to do something, but what i hear you saying is an effort to engage mexico in this unbelievable situation, that mexico very likely will not be a viable partner here. >> they have long been a partner of the united states immigration policy. it is just that they will
1:35 am
ratchet up that cooperation here. we don't believe that they are a viable partner in part because of their enormous history of human rights abuse against migrants passing through mexico. >> so we're seeing the biggest number of asylum seekers in more than a decade. in the past the u.s. has sent aid to the countries in central america where these people are fleeing to try to help these countries stabilize and stem violence. what is happening that families are now coming by the thousands? it is a problem at the border. they are overwhelmed. and mexico is trying to help emil emilor rate this, but what is happening that they are still come something. >> in mguatemala, there is enormous food shortages. there is a real lack of infrastructure to stemt t the g
1:36 am
violence. in honduras, guatemala, el salvador, as well, we are seeing enormousnumbers of indigenous migrants. so a lot of people are seeking just, you know, protection from their lives. in addition just seeking the dignity of having access to food. >> immigration law expert holly cooper, we appreciate your insights and your expertise. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. sdil ahetill ahead, a warni world oceans day. people in a welsh coastal village are being told they should get toward lose their homes to the sea. >> climate change is here. you saw something for the future. and next we will also speak with the head of oceans for graen pea green peace about what we all stand to lose as climate change makes the oceans rise. stay with us.

america's top diplomat is again down playing climate change. >> despite the evidence from scientists, despite the stronger storms, despite the melting glaciers, mike pompeo is calling it a long standing trend. here is what he told the washington "times." quote, the climate has been changing a long time. there are always changes that take place. >> but he says people can just adapt, quote, societies we organize, we move to different place, we develop technology and innovation. >> this is a month after pompeo suggested melting sea ice is opening new opportunities for trade and travel. but in a small village in wales, climate is turning the ocean into an existential threat. >> and the people are facing a tragic truth, that their village could be under water in a generation. phil black went to meet the v t
1:41 am
villagers to see how they are preparing. are. >> reporter: in this corner of north wales, green and misty mountains slope dramatically toward the sea. theville and of fairborn grew here on a flat stretch where the earth is low and wet. so low much of it lies only just above sea level. for 100 or so year, this village has existed, people here have been fighting to hold back the sea. now even conservative sea level rise predictions suggest that battle will inevitably be lost, perhaps in the coming decades. the people of fairborn could be britain's first climate change refugees. from the aired you see the village hunkered down. hiding behind a bank of stone. when the sea gets angry, that largely natural barrier is all that protects people and their homes. >> sea level rise is the energy
1:42 am
hitting the bank, it becomes greater. >> reporter: hugh williams an engineer says that all available evidence indicates that the barrier will eventually fail. >> sea level rise will be of such a magnitude that you cannot build your way out of it. climate change is here. you saw something for the future. >> reporter: local authorities have reached an uncomfortable conclusion -- all of this, home, shop, infrastructure, the community of around 1,000 people, will one day be gone. claimed by the sea. >> what we're doing now is planning for what we feel is realistically going to happen. >> reporter: lisa has the job of preparing fairborn and its people for what she descries as the decommissioning. she is working through a rough time frame from around 2045, welsh authorities believe that it won't be possible to maintain sufficient sea defenses and soon after it will be too dangerous for people to stay. the estimates are based on data
1:43 am
from local tidal gauges and the work of the u.n.'s climate change panel. they acknowledge that it could all happen later or as some scientists predict much sooner. >> telling people as early on as we can, we are giving them the opportunity to plan, we are allowing them to still have choice in what they want to do to a large degree. >> reporter: not everyone here appreciates the well intended advanced warning. because property prices have been hit hard. mortgages almost impossible to get. >> to turn around now and say we're going to destroy your village in 2045 or 2050 is wrong. >> reporter: stewart runs the local camping ground and believes that the estimates are imprecise andish responsible given the impact on people's lives. >> that is a long term problem, so they have to start thinking about it now, don't they? >> doto a degree, but if all yo information is based on supposition or theory --
1:44 am
>> or science. >> or science. but science has to depend on fablgss. a facts. and if the facts aren't there, they come up with supposition and saying we believe. >> reporter: on the front line, we meet phillip hill. >> it will be sometime. global warming will happen. >> reporter: he and his family bought a sea front home from where he scan't see the sea. he feels the rising water is a distant threat. >> if we have to move, we do. but at the moment, i'd rather enjoy this lovely place. >> and it is a law enforcemently place. >> yeah. >> reporter: fairborn is engaged in a difficult conversation with many awkward questions. what will happen to these people, where will they go, who pays for on it all? the scientific consensus says this community will not be alone in confronting these imminent consequences of climate change. phil black, cnn, fairbourne,
1:45 am
whales. and will mccallum is joining us. thank you so much for joining us on this oceans day. we saw phil's story there. how many other -- and we can see the complexities and the questions that people still have. how many other fairbournes could there be as we see oceans rise? >> as we see oceans rise by potentially a meter, two meters by the end the century, thousands of coastal communities will be affected rktsd more t,m billion depend on fish as their protein and on the ocean as their livelihood. so it is a sobering affair after we've had climate change report and bio diversity report. we know that we have to do something about it. frankly, thousands of -- sorry, go ahead. >> i was going to ask you, green peace recently titled a story
1:46 am
with what if we treat the oceans like they matter, pointing out that they provide half of our oxygen and food for a billion people, not to mention the trash and plastic that we are putting in our oceans killing sea mammals. so why don't we treat our oceans like they matter? >> it is a very good question and i think a lot of it has been lack of understanding and what shows us is that the science is now there. the jury is no longer out. we do know human activities are really causing these problems out to sea. but as the scientists caught up with teaching us about the problems, it is also telling us about the solutions and there is a lot that we can do about it. so this week thousands of people have been gathering in capitals around the world from bank congress to argentina to indonesia asking politic shans to politicians to treat the oceans like they made and they could protect more than a third of our oceans. we know that in order to mitigate against these threats,
1:47 am
in order to help stop the worst effects of climate change, we have to be looking at putting huge areas of the ocean off-limits to huge activity to let wildlife recover and let the oceans do what they do best which is soak up the carbon that we put into the atmosphere. >> we know that green peace wants to create sanctuaries to protect critical areas. talk more about that and who or what is standing in the way. >> so sanctuaries would be any area of ocean where humans aren't allowed to continue to extracts the resources. so science is very clear. when you stop taking stuff out of the ocean, it is actually amazing the recovering. it has fantastic rebound. and so by doing that, you know, scientists estimate at least a third of the world's oceans need to be put off-limits by 2030 if we want to stop the worst of climate change, if we want to make sure people have food, and if we want to make sure that our children have the same kind of healthy oceans that we have
