it's me. me, me, me. yuck, that's gross. you got to get that under control. [ dogs howling ] seriously? embrace the mischief. say "get pets tickets" into your x1 voice remote to see it in theaters. the u.s. and mexico make a deal on immigration and border policy and president trump calls off his threat to impose tariffs. plus, take a look at this near collision between u.s. and russian navy warships. experts say this is no accident. also this hour, queen elizabeth celebrating her official birthday, we're outside live of buckingham palace.

welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell. >> thanks for being with us. i'm natalie allen, "newsroom" starts right now. after pushback from many in his own party and warnings about the effect on the u.s. economy, president trump's throat impose tariffs on mexico is over for now. >> that's right. mr. trump announced in a tweet that negotiators reached a deal to avoid a duty on all products from mexico. he said the tariffs set to go into effect on monday, those tariffs have been suspended. >> mexico said they will take unprecedented steps to curb illegal migration. they will usual their national guard on guatemala. and it there will also take action to disassemble human

trafficking networks. >> and both countries say they will work to build a more prosperous and secure central america to address the root cause of migration. >> nn's rafael romo has more details on the agreement. >> under the agreement, mexico will be taking what the u.s. state department called unprecedented steps, beginning with enforcement of its own immigration laws representing what could become a drastic break with the recent past. the mexican secretary said its country will significantly increase its efforts to apply the law, with efforts to reducing what he called irmigration. it means that mexico as reported will deploy 600 members of national guard to its border to guatemala for immigration and enforcement. also under the agreement, mexico

will become a waiting room of sorts. asylum seekers crossing into the united states will immediately be sent to mexico where they'll wait for their cases to be adjudicated. the setting said he was satisfied with the results of the negotiations. >> i think it's a fair balance because they have more drastic measures proposed at the start. and we reached some middle point. for instance, they accept the support the program that mexico proposes in central america. >> earlier the mexican president had said in los cabos, mexico, that they didn't want confrontation. and also being friends with the american people. i'm rafael romo, cnn, atlanta. >> let's go to james boyes, a political analyst, good to have you this morning, james. >> good morning, george.

>> a week ago, president trump used the threat of tariffs on immigration. both sides have moved on the ir. the question here, did his threat of tariffs work in or view? >> well, it's interesting, isn't it, because just a few days ago, donald trump was suggesting that there hadn't been enough movement with regard to these negotiations which were taking place while he was over here in london. and that the tariffs would be produced on schedule on monday. now, here we are, that threat has apparently been withdrawn. so, i think from the white house point of view, they will say that this was a stick that was used to basically beat some concessions out of mexico. you heard there in the package, the mexican side of things seem to be quite pleased with the reciprocal nature of this relationship. as with all negotiations, what you want of both sides coming out claiming some kind of victory. and that seems to be where they are at the moment, i think. >> this is as you know a

president who takes very transactional approach to geopolitics, an unconventional approach to tariffs. but if it can be argued that tariffs worked here, do you think we'll see the use of tariffs again on other problems, geopolitical problems that the president wants to take on? >> i think we already are. tariffs have been used with regard to negotiations with china, with the european union. this is clearly a tactic that president trump feels is effective. he believes he'll see effects with. we'll have to wait and see, most economists will tell you that tariffs imposed on both sides are bad and, quite frankly, can lead to other problems. and with those issues, is the fact that the last couple of weeks we've seen surges of individuals trying to make it into the united states attempt to get across the border before the imposition of harsher

restrictions. we saw in may, for example, a 12-year high in arrests. the idea that mexican organizations and american goods and company mismexico are desperate to try to get their stocks across the mexican border ahead of the imposition of these tariffs. there's no doubt from the white house point of view they see a victory here. but it's also important to note, i think, they're saying we're going to withhold the imposition of these tariffs and see what happens. so the proof, i think, will be in the pudding, to see where are there is any reduction in migration inflows coming through the mexico border. >> a deal has been reached, democrats here in the u.s., they are reacting, of course. here's what the senator minority leader chuck schumer had to say. this is a historic night. trump has announced a deal to greatly reduce or eliminate illegal immigration coming from

mexico into the united states. he goes on to say, now that the problem is solved, i'm sure we won't be hearing any more about it in the future. the president on the hook with democrats. he struck a deal. is it solved? we'll have to see if he thinks it's solved here, but that's going to be important for him politically, isn't it? come 2020? >> well, he was facetious in that tweet and playing trump in his own game. but that's politics in the age of trump. don't forget, donald trump campaigned as a candidate for president promising to build the wall and address the immigration situation and the migration inflows across the american southern border. if he achieves that, that will be the result. this should be a bipartisan issue and we've seen democrats present ideas how to address this situation.

nothing successfully coming together in a bipartisan fashion. maybe that's wishful thinking and moving to an election season as we are in the u.s. right now, very clearly, i think what the white house will be doing is looking to the agreement and trying to tout the success of demonstration of how president trump brings his business acumen to its national relations, to try to find a way of over insurmountable odds. whether that holds is going to be debatdebatable. but the last thing this white house wanted was imposition of tariffs moving into the election. >> clearly, neither side got what they wanted, right? the u.s. wanting everyone to travel through before claiming asylum. that's not what they got, instead, the u.s. got mexico to expand their terms. again, the u.s. didn't get exactly what it wanted but both

sides did move here. >> absolutely. again, that's what you'd expect in any international negotiation. to be fair, you know, donald trump has been in london the last week. and we've been covering that heavily here. many people have been talking about a potential trade deal with great britain. and fears that a behemoth united states would come in and swoop and get whatever it wants. quite frankly, i think we've seen in the last 24 hours as you rightly remark there that the united states does not get what it wants all the time. and in any negotiation, any sovereign country dealing with the united states have its own national interests at stake. and mexico has its own position there. quite clearly i think what the white house has done is strike a deal that it can claim some degree of victory from, as well as mexico. but it's important to remember that policy you that refer to, that remaining mexico issue of returning migrants back to mexico to be processed effectively is being heavily challenged in the courts at this point. so, we'll have to wait and see how effective that element of

this deal is going to be in the short to medium term. >> james boys, we appreciate your time and perspective, thank you. >> thank you. well, the president returned from europe friday not to a warm welcome from democrats. he returned to growing calls for impeachment inquiry. >> mr. trump's response, name calling and insults. and at the top of his list, a democratic lawmaker who has become his nemesis, our manu ragu has more. >> reporter: president trump continued the assault he launched on house speaker nancy pelosi. with the graves of u.s. soldiers behind him on the 75th anniversary of the d-day invasion. calling pelosi a disgrace to herself and her family. >> i think he's a disgrace. i actually don't think he's a talented person. she's a nasty, vindictive horrible person. >> reporter: the insults did not stop there. >> nancy pelosi is a disaster, okay?

she's a disaster. >> reporter: trump responding to pelosi's private comments in a meeting in the capitol. where according to politico, she doesn't want to see trump impeached, she wants him in prison. >> she made the statement. >> while you're overseas? >> while i'm overseas. >> reporter: while in normandy, she actually avoided criticizing the president publicly. behind the scenes, the debate on whether to impeach the president has taken a new turn. cnn has learned house chairman jerry nadler is pressing pelosi to open up an impeachment inquiry. in the same meeting saying she wanted trump in prison, nadler said an impeachment committee would let them play a role in investigating the president's conduct, freeing up other house panels to push forward on legislation instead.

but sources said he met resistance from pelosi and adam schiff. nadler would not say if he and pelosi are on the same page over mounting an inquiry. >> when that decision has to be made, it will be made by not any one individual. >> reporter: nadler is feeling growing pressure from members of his own committee. and from 2020 candidates. and in white house defiance of their subpoena. >> there's a growing sentiment that it's an intolerable situation. >> and i do believe that the judiciary committee and the house should go forward with an impeachment inquiry. >> in the coming week, the house will take its first real step to try tone force a subpoena that have so far not been complied with. the house will article the committee to go forward with the issue with bill barr, the attorney general, to turn over the unredacted mueller report and evidence to that committee. and also don mcgahn, the former

white house counsel has not complied with the subpoena. that same resolution approved by the full horse will authorize all committees to go to court directly, bypassing the full house with any subpoenas that will not been complied with. democrats say it's necessary. republicans say it's overreach. but could lead to even more court fights than we've seen so far. >> the world's finance leaders are meeting right now in southern japan next here. we'll tell you about the issues they're discussing that could affect you. plus, farmers in the united states. first tariffs now floods. you'll hear what one struggling farmer has to say about this. stay with us. and cocoa butter known to soften as a whole blend, it nourishes for 24-hour frizz control blended makes us better. whole blends. by garnier, naturally!

in recent memory. and this is because of the one meeting that everyone is waiting for. that is happening tomorrow and sunday, between the u.s. treasury secretary steven mnuchin and his counterpart at the peoples bank of china. the two countries, u.s. and china, have not faced off in a month. a month ago, the talks broke down. the tariffs went into effect, china retaliated and the u.s. is threating more. this is a meeting that everyone wants to hear about. but at the same time, this is a quandary for the g20. as the name suggest, it's a group of 20 countries, it's supposed to be a multilateral efforts. it's not just about the u.s. and china. it's not a forum for bilateral discussion. but at the end of the day, this is the risk that everyone is talking about. will they be able to avert further escalation to create war. and everyone is saying the risks

are increasing for economic growth globally. very interesting timie timingwi that as the financial ministers and 20 banks were about to sit down, the u.s. dropped the tariffs on mexico. and the chair of this meeting japan has said they welcome this move. although on the surface they say that this itself is not the entire point of the meeting, we all know in reality, i think that is going to be precisely the point. and people are growing a little bit nervous as to whether or not they can provide a united front. when they issue the communique on sunday. natalie. >> what are the other issues, we know that they're discussing major, major corporations and how they're dealt with? >> that's right. i think taxation is going to be a big issue as well. there was a panel today on that very issue. we're talking about taxation loopholes. the countries like france and britain have been very vocal about.

and companies like google, facebook, using countries like ireland and luxembourg that have very low taxation rates are trying to pay as few taxes as possible. i think there's growing consensus within the g20 that they need to close some of these loopholes and they're trying to put together some sort of concensus regarding that. the u.s. has said that may put unfair biases on american companies because the names that keep popping you up are ones like google and facebook. i don't think there will be a final blueprint on how to address this taxation issue, but you're right, this is one of the issues surrounding this meeting. >> thank you so much. of those impacted the most by the trade war between united states and china, american farmers. their incomes have been slashed dramatically, with china pulling back from buying u.s. products like soybeans.

>> now some farmers have been hit with a double whammy, catastrophic flooding. president trump approving $19 billion in disaster aid but for some, it's too late. cnn's dan simon is in the state of missouri. >> where are we this exact moment? >> we're directly over my field. >> reporter: adam jones is a fourth generation family farmer. his fields which would normally be sprouting corn and soybeans have turned into lakes. >> it's pretty amazing to think that you might be in a tractor today, you're in a boat? >> yeah, and we're in four feet of water, so halfway up in the middle of the tractor. yeah, it's pretty surreal. >> reporter: and the latest round of flooding, jones says, has diminished any hope of a viable product for hundreds of farmers, many of whom has been realing from president trump's tariffs from china.

jones said that tariffs have already cut into his bottom line, with china slashing its purchase of american soybeans. though farmers have been promised government assistance, he doesn't know how much he might receive, and the notion of a bailout wears on his pride. >> farmers don't want a bailout, we don't want government money, we just want a free market. most farmers are supporting president trump but i think it's wearing out. flooding is more difficult. tariffs might be more frustrating because somebody has control of the tariffs. >> reporter: for now, his immediate concern is trying to save the house built by this grand parents. these palms and a homemade flood wall have mainly kept it dry. he said the water won't fully recede until july. too late, he says for any planting. >> you don't get your food from the grocery store. you can get it at the grocery store, but we're out here

working our tails off growing it for you. >> reporter: he said most farmers wouldn't have it any other way. >> farming is a passion. we don't farm for money. it's what i love. dad did it my grandfather did it right here on this land. fourth generation on this farm. i take pride in that. i just have a passion for agriculture. unfortunately. >> reporter: dan simon, cnn, old monroe, missouri. the month of may was one of the wettest months we've seen in the united states taking a toll on farmers and the land. >> that's right, on this world's oceans day. we have the oceans threatened by change and plastic conclusion. our derek van dam explains. >> if you're anything like me, you love the oceans, you associate it with a pleasant memory or family vacation. you might believe that the ocean

deserves its own day. in fact, saturday, june 8th is the day. 320 million metric tons of plastic are produced each year. and a disturbing amount of that ends up in our oceans and our seas. we're talking about single use plastic, shopping bags, toothbrushes, water bottles. 5 trillion pieces found in our oceans. 8 million metric tons of plastic season in oceans. some you see, some you can't. those are money as micro plastics. we'll talk about why that's concerning in one second. there are oceans currents that ultimately catch our last tib. you may have heard of the great pacific garbage patch. it's 3 1/2 times the size of spain. and circumstance cue lating across the ocean. there are other gyres

circulating not only the pacifics. why is this concerning? well, plastics degrade. they may not be seen physically with our own eyes, but they are definitely harmful. the plastic is consumed by fish and ultimately gets into our food chain. it's not all doom and gloom. what can you and i do to help future generations? well, we need to reduce single use plastics from bottles, bags, straws, packaging and utensils. back to you. >> toothbrush -- you name it. so much plastic, a problem. the u.s. and mexico reach a deal on migration. but there are questions about the specifics and if the agreement on asylum is even legal. we'll talk about it. a close call in the pacific. as warships from russia and united states narrowly avoid a crash. how did it happen? ♪

all right, welcome back to viewers here in the united states and around the world, you're watching "cnn newsroom" live from atl, i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. here are our headlines. queen elizabeth turned 93 in april. but her official birthday celebration is about to begin in london. the highlight is the traditional military parade calling trouping the color. the duchess of sussex, meghan markle, will attend. her first public appearance since giving birth to archie. in japan, the g20 finance ministers are coming together to decide how to modernize the system. and tax systems that let

companies like google and facebook cut their tax bills. trade wars are general also on the agenda. tariffs from mexican products will not begin on monday as planned. mexico has agreed to take unprecedented steps, it says, to curb illegal migration. u.s. customs and border protection reported more arrests of migrants at the border in the month of may than any other time in the last 13 years. >> cnn's gary tuchman is on the border. >> reporter: what we witnessed and what we're about to see was chaotic, depressing, emotional and sad. we spent part of the afternoon with agents from u.s. border patrol in a van with them as they patrolled the border near el paso, texas. 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 will coming out of the rio grande. the first person we saw was

juana, he was emaciated, with a 6-year-old girl and baby on her back. they were hungry and sick. she said she was very poor, she had to come from guatemala because she had no money. she had heard people were allowed in the states as long as they brought children. sandy from honduras, is about to have a child. 8 1/2 months' pregnant. came from honduras. she says her husband and brother were killed by gang mermbers. she had to leave. then we met a man and two sons. after apprehended by border patrol, he started crying. tears of happiness that he made it with his son. with his son. he's very happy. and we saw that many of the people, cry out of sense of relief. cry out of happiness when she arrived here and they realize

they're no longer on this journey. something very notable, the ryo grand is what separates texas from mexico. here, it's relatively dry, people are able to walk across it on rafts. they saw this huge fence 1,000 feet north of the river. all of them said they had to figure out a way to get over the benefits. the border patrol said no, you're already over the border. they were greatly relieved. this fence does nothing to stop them from entering the land in the united states. the border patrol agents we worked with are very professional. they're very considerate and becames ambassadors of this country. >> joining me now to discuss this is holly cooper, she's the co-director of the immigration law clinic at the university of california in davis. holly, thank you for being with us. >> thank you, natalie. >> first of all, mexico wanted

the u.s. to hear the asylum claims in mexico. instead, they'll be heard in the u.s., but people will have to wait in mexico. is that a reasonable compromise? is it workable? >> it's not. we're seeing waiting times up to november. essentially for an immigrant asked for political asylum is forced to wait in a shelter or halfway house in mexico. it's very difficult, as you can imagine, to cross the border. and even to find a lawyer that's willing to go meet with individuals in mexico. prepare their case in mexico and come back to the united states where their office is located. so there's a lot of notice issues. a lot of immigrants are saying they're not getting notice of the hearings. the next court date for individuals recently apprehended is going to be november. you're hearing about extraordinary obstacles that we're seeing with this program. >> well if that were to be worked out, as far as immigration law goes, would it be legal to have mexico step in

and work on this in that way? >> so, i mean, there's two issues. mexico has its own asylum procedures. and the u.s. has its procedures where many individuals are being required to wait in mexico. mexican asylum procedures however are very, very deficient. very small numbers actually win asylum in mexico. they're completely understaffed. there's very few asylum officers in mexico. and the grant rates are also extremely 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's one area. the other area, another front, is topping people in the first place from getting to the u.s., so mexico is sending troops to its southern border to try and curtail the massive migrant flow we're seeing from central america. is this a tenable solution? >> we don't believe it is.

i meaner part of what's at issue is most immigrants when they're 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, countless stories about how they're robbed by immigration authorities. held in cells for long periods of time. they're not given the option to even apply for political asylum and they're summarily deported. there are many reasons they want to use it because they can bypass many of the legal constitution as that we have in this country. we don't believe that it's a tenable solution and we believe that people should have a right under international law to seek asylum here in the united states. >> we see mexico bending to president trump saying you've got to do something. you've got to cooperate with us.

what i hear you saying is an effort to engage mexico, and this unbelievable situation that mexico very likely will not be a viable partner here. >> they've long been a partner of the united states immigration policy. it's just that they're going to ratchet up that cooperation here. and we don't believe that they're a viable partner, in part because of their human rights against migrants passing through mexico. >> so, we're seeing the biggest number of asylum seekers in more than a decade. in the past, the united states has sent aid to the countries in central america where these people are fleeing to help these countries stabilize and stem violence. what is happening that families are now coming by the thousands? it's -- it's a problem at the border. they're overwhelmed. you know, mexico is trying to help ameliorate this. but what is happening back in

these countries that they're still coming? >> it really depends on the country. in guatemala, as you probably read, there's enormous food shortages. there's a real lack of infrastructure in these countries to stem the gang violence. in honduras, in guatemala in particular and el salvador, we're seeing enormous numbers of migrants. not only migrants but an enormous number of indigenous migrants. a lot of people are seeking protection for their lives. in addition, just the dignity of having access to food. >> immigration law expert holly cooper, we appreciate your insight and your expertise. thank you for joining us. >> thank you. united states and russia are pointing the fingers at one another after two of their warships almost collided in the pacific. >> it was a close call, each side now accusing the other of

making reckless maneuvers in the encounter. here's cnn's alex marquardt. >> reporter: a brazen challenge, this coming whinle ing within 1. regarding the latest deadly provocation by the russian military. the incident taking place in the international waters in the philippines sea, just south of the japanese island of okinawa. it came as to the cruiser as a helicopter was trying to land a helicopter on its deck. >> you have to be on say set course and set speed so the winds across the deck are safe for the helicopter to land. >> reporter: boxed in, the captain performs an emergency maneuver called an you engines back full. >>le you're basically throwing that ship in reverse moving forward at 15 to 18 miles an hour, would be my guess. it's 10,000 tons of metal being moved through the water. it's not going to stop quickly.

and as the ship reacts to that order, the whole ship is going to shudder. >> reporter: while the russians blame the u.s. for the incident, this photo from above contradicts that. who says that the weight curbing behind the russian ship on the left could only be created from a steep turn at high speed. agenting defense secretary patrick shanahan said he will protest the act to moscow. >> unsafe, unprofessional act, certainly put our men and women at risk. >> reporter: the ships so close together that russian sailors could even be seen upon board appearing to be sunbathing on the back of the ship, despite the severity of the encounter. the incident coming as russian president vladimir putin hosts the chinese president xi jinping. the two enjoying a more leisurely bodleisure ly boat ride. >> you're looking at the kinds

of things they can do in concert with the chinese to challenge the u.s. and if it means helping the chinese out in the pacific, they will do so. >> reporter: the near collision coming after two other tense interactions with the russian military. just days ago, the u.s. accused russia of intercepting a u.s. aircraft three times in international airspace over the mediterranean sea. last month, the u.s. intercepted russian bombers and fighters jets in international airspace off the coast of alaska. the u.s. ship had spotted the russian destroyer in the area but it kept its distance until this incident. now under international maritime law ships are supposed to give each other much wider berth, around 1,000 yards and not to interfere with a navy operation conducting man useuvers as this was. still ahead, in london, it's all about the 93rd birthday celebration of queen elizabeth.

more than 260 years. our producer is live outside of buckingham palace. salma, certainly, all eyes will be on the queen? >> reporter: that's absolutely right, george. we're just moments away, we're hearing today that the queen in royal procession is about to get out of buckingham palace. you can take a look behind me what's happening at buckingham palace. this is what starts the parade. her birthday is actually in april. but for some 260 years now, the country has commemorated the monarch, celebrated the monarch with this parade, the trooping the colour parade, and what we're going to see is the start of it. the queen, members of the royal family will come out by carriage. they will, of course, be followed by the household cavalry. that's seven regiments in the household cavalry.
