nights and weekends. today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'd rather not. u.s. president donald trump boasts about his latest border deal with mexico, but a "new york times" report says the terms were agreed on months ago. plus, take a look at these images from hong kong. thousands demonstrating against a controversial extradition bill. the clock ticks for conservative party members to deliver their pick for the uk's next prime minister. we're live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta and want to welcome our viewers around the world. i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. thanks again for joining us.
2:01 am
5:00 a.m. in atlanta, georgia. we begin with the fanfare and fallout in the wake of mexico and the u.s. making a deal on migration. >> president trump is cheering the agreement. he's tweeting mexico will try very hard, and if they do that, this will be a very successful agreement for both the united states and mexico. >> but democrats on capitol hill are not excited. house speaker nancy pelosi says the president undermined america's leadership role by recklessly threatening tariffs on friends. >> mexico's president celebrated the agreement in tijuana. obrador told the crowd politics had won over confrontation. our paula newton reports that event was planned as one thing but quickly became another. >> reporter: here in taiwan athis was to be a unity rally, a protest rally to show american strength when faced with those tariffs from the trump administration. don't need it any longer.
2:02 am
they've turned this into a celebration rally and president lopez obrador suggesting mexico got a good deal out of this. he says he was on the phone with president trump. he says, no, in fact, they did not give in to the most drastic demands of the u.s. administration. take a listen. >> translator: as the head and representative of the mexican state, i cannot allow anyone to go against the economy and unworthy of our government and humiliating to our nation. yesterday the politics of confrontation were imposed, and i must recognize that there was willingness to seek a negotiated goit the conflict on behalf of donald trump. >> reporter: beyond the words and details with this new deal, the migrants are trying to figure out what it means for
2:03 am
them. many are terrified about the fact they'll never reach their ultimate goal of getting to the united states. you can really see the frustration on their face and feel the grief with which they are now confronting their future. >> translator: in the end, in my neighborhood, the gangs harassed me. but if i didn't get on their side, i would have to leave or they would kill me and my daughter. >> translator: there are people that might say i won't go, putting yourself in a situation in a country that is not our own. where sometimes we don't have money, no support because sometimes that happens on the trek. so some might prefer to stay. others might preforerisk what comes. >> reporter: for now mexico still taking this as a win and understanding that they averted economic disaster without those tariffs being imposed on monday and without those escalating tafrts ov tariffs over their heads. the trump administration and mexican government say they'll be looking very carefully to figure out how their new deal is
2:04 am
implemented over the next 90 days. paula newton, cnn, tijuana, mexico. a couple key points to go over. mexico agreed to deploy national guard troops to its border with guatemala and take decisive action against human muggling organizations. >> also migrants caught crossing into the u.s. will be rapidly returned to mexico to wait for the ruling on their asylum claims. mexico also says it will offer jobs, health care and education to those people. in exchange, the u.s. agrees to speed up the asylum process. that deal came about after president trump threatened tariffs on every product imported into the u.s. from mexico leading to days of intense negotiations in washington. leading to the president touting the agreement on twitter. >> now there is new reporting that parts of the deal aren't new at all. in fact, they were hammered out many months ago.
2:05 am
our boris sanchez has the reporting here from the white house. >> reporter: reporting in "the new york times" indicates that certain seekkey aspects of thise agreed to months before the president brought up the threat of tariffs against one of the united states' largest trading partners. a key portion of this agreement involves the mobilization, the expanded deployment of mexican national guard troops across mexico with a focus on the southern border trying to prevent migrants from honduras and el salvador from crossing through mexico with the aim of crossing into the border with the united states. that agreement was brokered in march by former dhs secretary kirstjen nielsen. another portion of this agreement involves a program in which mexico would host undocumented immigrants who entered the united states illegally requesting asylum, offering them education and job opportunities. that program was apparently
2:06 am
brokered in december, according to "the new york times." this agreement suggests that it would be expanded, though details on how it would be expanded are still ambiguous. we should point out the president is treating this as a victory, even though the times writes it's unclear whether the president knew these agreements were already in place or whether this was a face-saving measure by the president in light of the fact that tariffs were set to take hold on monday. the white house has declined to comment on this story but the president has been celebrating this agreement on twitter and his campaign has been trying to fund-raise off it. they sent a mass text requesting funds from supporters and citing the president's best seller, "the art of the deal." boris sanchez, cnn, at the white house. the democrats looking ahead at the 2020 presidential nomination just around the corner. iowa is the place to be this weekend.
2:07 am
19 of the 23 declared candidates are expected to be in iowa hoping to convince voters there ahead of the nation's first caucuses in february. >> it's always iowa's moment in the sun. >> it is. >> notably absent front-runner joe biden. he's attending his granddaughter's high school graduation but he'll be campaigning in iowa next tuesday, the same day president trump holds a fund-raiser there. >> and at this early stage in everything, a new poll shows that joe biden is the clear favorite among likely caucusgoers in iowa at 24%. bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, pete buttigieg and kamala harris round out the top five. the other 18 candidates polling at 2% or less. the first democratic debate is less than three weeks away. this weekend's campaigning also coincides with pride fest in the capital des moines. >> that's where our laieyla santiago has this report from
2:08 am
des moines. >> reporter: it's pride and politics. as many of the candidates make their way here not only for the pride fest but also for a big dinner on sunday night. that is the hall of fame dinner. and we expect about 19 of the 23 candidates to be there, to not only show strength in their campaigns but also make themselves stand out. now in this crowd here at the pride fest, a lot of the voters are looking for someone who is going to talk about abortion, the rights of lgbt. but i've also heard voters tell me they want to know about the jobs, economy and health care. and candidates are taking note. we've heard some of them take aim at president trump. we've also heard many of them talk about marriage equality. they each had ten minutes to sort of make their pitch to voters at a candidate forum to do so. and so, really, the focus for many of these candidates is iowa this weekend. that very first caucus state that really carries a lot of
2:09 am
weight for that first vote. but take note of the time here. we're just weeks before a lot of these candidates get on a very big stage and that will be for the very first debate for the candidates. leyla santiago, des moines, iowa. let's talk about it all now with scott lukeas. a professor of international politics at the university of birmingham. also the founder and editor of ea world view from birmingham, england. >> fine morning to you, george. >> the former vice president joe biden the favorite ahead of others in that state's caucuses set for february. bernie sanders, elizabeth warren, pete buttigieg, kamala harris, all rounding out the top five. but while biden is out front now, his advantage is smaller than seen in recent national polling. >> i think that's no surprise, george because when joe biden
2:10 am
announced, like bernie sanders, they were the two that had the most name recognition amongst the democrats. inevitably, they were the ones who had the base supporters to put them out in front in polling. as people learn more about other candidates they may switch and you'd name three others. elizabeth warren, kamala harris, pete buttigieg. others may emerge. and joe biden, some of the luster has worn off already. you have a lead. you have to keep on holding it. for example, in recent days with his switch on abortion, that gets headlines which aren't as positive. these are preliminary skirmishes i need to emphasize. we have a snapshot, but it's really going to be in those first debates in june and july we see things start to sift out. beyond those five, for the other 18 candidates, they really have to make an impression in those debates and get up around beyond 1% or 2% support if they'll last the course even to the first caucus next january. >> right, right.
2:11 am
we talk about bernie sanders pushing for impeachment proceedings. many of these candidates are pushing for that. that really speaks to what democrats in the house are dealing with. this double-edged sword as to whether to pursue an impeachment inquiry against president trump or to be more strategic to hold off for now and rely on the various investigations around him should he lose come 2020. there's a good article that's been published in "the washington post" that explains this dilemma among democrats asking, how will they explain this moment to their grandkids? because there seems to be backlash really either way. >> well, i am wondering how to explain any of the trump era to our grandkids, but there's a middle ground here and i think democrats know even if they impeach trump that the republicans in the senate will block any conviction so the question is really the pace to any proceedings and that turns upon the hearings. the house committees would like
2:12 am
to have hearings to get close our what happened in 2016 but also because it keeps pressure on trump. i think all democrats will go around that. then if the white house continues to try to block the hearings, if they defy subpoenas, if they defy contempt of court, congress charges, then you see the incentive to move towards impeachment as like a last resort to get something done about this election interference and donald trump's possible obstruction of justice. >> i'd like your thoughts on this deal announced between the united states and mexico. president trump's threats of tariffs stole the headlines over the past couple of weeks, but new reporting shows that parts of this deal were hammered out many months ago behind the scenes. so it raises a question here. did the president accept this deal to save face and avoid the political fallout from these punishing tariffs? >> i hate to brag, george, but last week a colleague and i said this is how it's going to play out. a few days of tension, then
2:13 am
mexico will make a limited announcement, for example, expanding its holding of migrants who await asylum and donald trump will declare victory. here we are. let me be honest. this was either a fit of temper by donald trump or it was a pr stunt. up until the 2020 re-election effort, donald trump and his advisers will keep focusing on the anti-immigration theme. this was the latest. here's the man who can get you the art of the deal, even though the deal was made a few months ago. the problem for trump on this one, he's been called out now. what if the mexicans not only say we already agreed but if they throw it back and say, look, you are the one who is weak, does that benefit donald trump's effort? i think in the next few days, watch for this, george. donald trump will be on twitter again angry with the mexicans and we'll go into another manufactured crisis. >> scott lucas with perspective for us, thank you. massive protests are rocking hong kong right now.
2:14 am
this could be the city's biggest in years. we'll have a live report on what's driving the outrage which is aimed at china. plus, the united states and china, they finally have spoken to one another after weeks of silence in their escalating trade war. still ahead -- details about that meeting. how it might open up new negotiations. achoo! ...do your sneezes turn heads? try zyrtec... ...it starts working hard at hour one... and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. zyrtec muddle no more.

so switch now. for people with hearing loss, visit sprintrelay.com shaving has been difficult for me. i have very sensitive skin, and i get ingrowing hairs. so it's a daunting task. oh i love it. it's a great razor. it has that 'fence' in the middle. it gives a nice smooth shave. just stopping that irritation... that burn that i get is really life changing. live video from hong kong
2:17 am
showing massive protests under way. these crowds coming in to join the march. >> thousands of people have taken to the streets there. they're making their voices heard, rallying against a controversial extradition bill. the reasons for the outrage around this bill could let suspects be sent back to mainland china. critics fear that's a power grab by beijing designed to help crack down on people who disagree with the government, disdents there. supporters insist it's about law and order. they say it stops hong kong from being a criminal safe haven. this has revealed some deep divisions in hong kong. and not just on the streets. >> tensions over the bill have been bubbling for months. literal clashes broke out at the city's legislature last month. it also led to protests before. this was the scene in april.
2:18 am
organizers claimed more than 100,000 people turned out. police say the figure was closer to 20,000. let's go to our kristi lu stout live in hong kong, there among the crowds. we get this issue has angered so many. tell us the mood there on the streets. >> the mood here is one of anger and determination. and all afternoon, we've been here in hong kong's victoria park monitoring tens of thousands filter into the park, gather here and join the greater march against the extradition bill. this is the largest political protest i've seen here in hong kong since the 2014 pro-democracy movement. i must also add the temperatures here are over 30 degrees celsius. that's hot. especially with the levels of humidity here. that's not stopped the elderly, the senior citizens, the families with young children and infants who feel so opposed to this legislation. that's why they're here. the hong kong government says
2:19 am
the extradition bill which would allow the extradition of fugitives into mainland china is necessary to cover a legal loophold. a cite a woman murdered by her boyfriend while on vacation in taiwan and hong kong's inability to extradite him to taiwan but the protesters here. you can hear the roar of the protesters around causeway bay, this major commercial district near hong kong. they are firmly opposed to this bill. they say if it is passed, it would be abused and lead to the extradition of critics of beijing, including dissidents, human rights lawyers, and there would be no guarantee of a fair trial once they're extradited into china. i spoke to protesters for their views on why they're here. do you feel this protest will make a difference? >> no. absolutely not. >> then why do it? >> just at least you fight for it. at least like you didn't give up
2:20 am
anything. you fight for it. fight until the end. that's what i could say. >> the law in china and hong kong are so different. different standards. if they like happen, then what i can't imagine like what happens to like the political -- the activists or whatever. they will like just send to -- back to china just for whatever reason. >> there are some issues like if china hates some people in hong kong, they may be sent to china because of this policy. >> i don't think that really targeting real criminal, but -- >> who are they targeting? >> maybe some political leaders. like they are -- they may use other reasons to arrest them. >> after meeting here at hong kong's victoria park, the protesters will take a two-hour walk to the hong kong legislative counsel. the city government here in hong kong, there's a critical meeting
2:21 am
later this week when hong kong lawmakers review the highly controversial extradition bill. many here are hoping that this protest action will somehow sway their minds, encourage them to withdraw the bill. back to you. >> like you said, that one person said he doesn't think the protests will do anything, but protest he must. you mentioned the umbrella protest and this is the biggest since then. those protests, people would not leave the streets. they blocked streets, stopped commerce. how long do you think this could go on? >> yeah, i want to add that we still haven't gotten official crowd numbers from the organizers or hong kong police but what i've seen, this is the largest political protest i've seen since then. this is planned to be a one day action. a march from this park to the legislative council. after our position here when we report to you live, we'll be
2:22 am
moving over there to get a sense of the situation there. but it's really hard to imagine what will happen as a result of this protest. that said, opposition is widespread. it's not just the ordinary people of hong kong who voiced their opposition to the bill but also the greater business community, even the american chamber of commerce. also the u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo who said he's expressed concerns about the extradition bill and fears it will undermine the rule of law in hong kong. tension is building but the opposition is widespread in regards to this piece of legislation. back to you. >> and will it resonate with leaders? we'll wait and see on that one. kristi lu stout, we can get a sense from your reporting the loudness of this rally. thank you. speaking of china, for the first time since trade talks broke down last month between that nation and the united states, the two are talking again. >> u.s. treasury secretary steve mnuchin has held a private
2:23 am
meeting with china's central bank governor on the final day of the g20 finance ministers summit in japan. mnuchin tweeting their meeting was, quote, constructive and candid. >> gleets lilet's go live to to our journalist is following this story. this is the first meeting between these two sides since the talks essentially broke down. any new lines about the spirit of the meeting? >> well, the final communique, the statement, has just been released as the g20 meeting closed. and it's obvious from the statement that the trade dispute going on between u.s. and china loomed large over this meeting. in the statement itself, the g20 ministers described it like this. they said, quote, trade and geopolitical tensions have intensified. so this word intensified really characterizes and sums up the mood at the g20 in fukuoka here
2:24 am
in japan over the last two days. they don't specifically mention china and the u.s. this is a multilateral forum. but, clearly, this is the dispute looming large over the meeting and one that finance ministers and central bankers said threatens to push the global economy potentially push it into a slightly weaker growth phase. just getting back to the meeting between the u.s. and china, between mnuchin and his counterpart at the pboc. he says it's constructive. he says it was candid. this was a tweet he issued right after the meeting ended but not constructive enough to give us any details as to what happened during this meeting. people now will be waiting for a potential meeting between u.s. president donald trump and chinese president xi which could be held at the g20 leaders meeting to be held in osaka at the end of the month. china has not confirmed this meeting will take place.
2:25 am
remember, there's the spector of possibly more tariffs being slapped on if no deal is reached. one thing is clear from the g20 meeting. it was very difficult for the leaders to put on a united front. at a time when most of the members of the g20 are looking for a multinational approach, but one big country, the u.s. in particular, his insisted all along during this administration that they prefer a bilateral approach. >> that's a clashing of different approaches for sure. a significant g20. thank you. next here, an exclusive cnn report looks at conditions some migrants face once they make it to the united states. plus -- havoc on the streets of washington after loud noises at a parade are mistaken for gupshots. do cleansers leave your skin feeling like this?

2:29 am
even on nights and weekends. today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'd rather not. a warm welcome back to our viewers here in the united states watching this hour and all around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom" live from atlanta. i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. protesters in albania are calling for early elections and demanding the country's president resign. thousands marched in the albanian capital denouncing corruption in the government. police used watercannon and tear gas to break up the crowd. >> in sudan a group is calling for civil disobedience against the military government. they attacked protesters last week. those protesters who were demanding civilian rule. a doctor's group says more than
2:30 am
100 people were killed. almost 18,000 venezuelans crossed into neighboring colombia saturday just to buy food and medicine. this happened after the embattled venezuelan president maduro partially reopened the border. he had closed the crossing in february to prevent his political opponents from bringing in aid. the president of mexico andres manuel lopez obrador spoke with donald trump by phone after friday's agreement on migration was reached. thee he stressed the need for dialogue. many parts of this deal were hammered out months ago. let's look at a couple of numbers to put the immigration issue into perspective for you. >> as you can see, the number of border apprehensions has been continuously on the rise since early 2017 and spiked this year to more than 130,000
2:31 am
apprehensions in may. >> and here the overwhelming number of apprehensions this year are actually families far outnumbering single adults and unaccompanied children. >> we're learning more about the conditions many of these undocumented migrants face after they're detained in the u.s. >> an internal report from homeland security says some facilities were found to have egregious violations during any inspection last year. our jessica snyder reports the inspector general noted the people being held were not prisoners and detention was not meant to be punitive. >> reporter: improperly packaged meat and braided bed sheets referred to as nooses potentially used for suicides. these are some of the immediate risks and egregious violations found at multiple i.c.e.
2:32 am
detention centers. the worst in new jersey and california. the inspector general's investigation began after a tip about terrible conditions on its hot line. the ig made unannounced visits to four facilities in california, louisiana, new jersey and colorado. immigration and customs enforcement responded to the violations and said in an addendum it's completed corrective actions to address identified issues. i.c.e. even attached pictures of improved bathroom and shower conditions at its california location. but the conditions were dangerous and unsanitary for the nearly 5,000 detainees held in total at the four facilities. the ig stressing all i.c.e. detainees are held in civil, not criminal custody which is not supposed to be punitive. nevertheless, the inspector general found detainees at the new jersey and colorado facilities essentially trapped inside. detainees were not allowed proper access to outdoor recreation and forced to make due with the recreation yard that had a partial covered roof
2:33 am
or mesh cages on the glass enclosures. they also found the food handling so bad at the new jersey detention center the kitchen manager was replaced during the inspection. they saw open packages of raw chicken leaking blood, slimy, foul-smelling lunch meat and moldy bread. the problems could get worse given the record number of migrants in custody. i.c.e.'s new acting director said monday there are currently around 52,000 single adults in i.c.e. custody. that's an all-time high and exceeds funding lefrls yet again. and the numbers across immigration facilities are expected to grow as more and more migrants cross the border. last month more than 144,000 migrants were apprehended or encountered at the southern border. the highest monthly total in 13 years. these violations were found over a seven-month period. i.c.e. has reported many fixes to the inspector general. but the ig is still insisting on even more documentation that confirms that follow-up
2:34 am
inspections and other corrective actions have been completed. but since these facilities are at risk of getting overwhelmed with that recent influx of migrants, it's possible these problems could flare up again. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. in washington, several people were injured at a pride parade on saturday after reports of gunfire sent the crowd running in panic. >> despite the commotion, it turns out no shots had been fired. police did recover a gun and they arrested one man. now they are trying to figure out where the loud noises came from. >> our officers responded to a report of a man with a gun in a park. as the officers were going to that scene, there was a crowd of people running away from it. some of the individuals said there was a man with a gun and someone had fired shots. officers arrived at the location of -- where the individual was located. at that point, they stopped the individual and they recovered a
2:35 am
gun close by. there was no evidence at all that any shots were fired during the course of this investigation. >> meantime, many people were just terrified on the streets of washington. here's the reporting of cnn affiliate wjla that witnessed the panic. >> what's happening? >> get in here. get in here now! >> it's chaos. >> what happened? >> someone has a gun. >> just all of a sudden you heard these three or four very loud pops and i mean loud. and they sounded like they were coming from almost where we're standing right now and you just heard people scream and they just started booking it. >> his mom was trying to pick him up off the ground as people are stepping on him. and like she can't get him because people are really stepping on this little boy. >> one of the cops said there
2:36 am
was an active shooter and they started moving quickly. and then half second later is when that loud boom happened and so that's when everybody -- when you guys were running, that's when everybody took off like crazy. >> people hear one thing. sounds like gunshots. we all react. >> that's the thing. you hear something and you react. obviously, police there in washington encouraged witnesses to come forward with any information that they could. >> the bottom line is we have mass shootings in this country every day and people are terrified when they are in a crowd that something could be happening. that, too, was at play. the official home of britain's prime minister needs a new resident and the race to fill the job at 10 downing street beginning in earnest this week. we'll have that coming up. she's doing it again. no cover up spray here... it's the irresistibly fresh scent of febreze air effects. cheaper aerosols can cover up odors, burying the smell in a flowery fog. switch to febreze air effects!

the race for britain's next prime minister is on. friday was theresa may's last day as conservative party leader. she'll stay on until the party chooses a new one, but the selection process to replace her begins this week, and the tories have until the end of july to make a decision. it seems the contest is already full of drama. >> that starts with apparent front-runner and former foreign secretary boris johnson speaking to the sunday times, he said he'd refuse to pay the brexit settlement to the eu unless it gives brexit a good deal. michael gove is also being branded a hypocrite after he admitted to using illegal drugs decades ago. let's get more about it from abdel aziz in london. you're covering the queen's
2:41 am
birthday and now back to brexit. sorry about that. but certainly this search shows that britain is in the throes of the complexity that is brexit. >> that's right, natalie. we had our moment of sun and fun and now it's all over and back to the political drama which is absolutely the last thing anybody wants. 11 contenders. the mud slinging has already begun. the tory leadership contests are notoriously acrimonious. and there are some candidates on the sunday talk programs already trying to lay out their pitches, criticize their competition in this very crowded field. in the next few weeks we'll see those 11 people whittled down to just two. this is where the concern comes in. this is a contest that's meant to cater to a very small subset of british society. out of 65 million people, there are only some 120,000 conservative party members. and those are the ones that will be voting on those two
2:42 am
candidates. and let's go through the stats of these 120,000 people. they are over 70% male. over half of them are over the age of 55. it's an estimated 97% of conservative party members are white. so you're talking about an older, white, male population. a very small group. and that is who these candidates are speaking to. and that is who is going to determine the future of brexit. so the worry is this is going to push the argument further to the right, towards a more hard-line approach and the last thing anybody in this country wants to see is more political drama, more turmoil. the most common phrase you hear on the streets is, can't they just get on with it? >> i know. actually we'll see older, white male population. so you have held up the newspapers before for us on days when there have been some pivotal decisions. what is the feeling among the voters, the people about the
2:43 am
process and where it's stuck and where it's headed? >> there is definite voter fatigue here. and i think it's the uncertainty that really concerns everyone because as we said, we have these 11 members over the next several weeks we'll see these series of secret ballots that's going to whittle them down to two people. everyone is making their arguments on tv, in the papers. boris johnson saying he won't pay the brexit bill. winning over a key competition from ireland and pushing his agenda towards education. everyone is laying out their pitches but the concern is that deadline, october 31st. that means when that new prime minister is in place, at the end of july because this is when this will be all over, they are going to have just three months to solve the crisis that theresa may couldn't solve in three years. >> right. they may -- you think maybe come halloween, some people will miss
2:44 am
