the u.s. president donald trump scraps a military strike on iran minutes before it was meant to happen. saying he doesn't want to go to war. plus, millions of undocumented immigrants are unthreat of deportation, as the trump administration prepares to ramp up raids across several u.s. cities. also ahead this hour, nearly 50 years after humans first stepped foot on the moon, nasa

is planning to go back, this time, with a woman leading the way. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell, "cnn newsroom" starts now. we're learning more about the u.s. president's decision to call off a u.s. military strike against iran. on twitter, on friday morning, the president pointed to the shootdown of a u.s. drone, saying the united states was cocked and loaded to strike three iranian missile sites in retaliation. then backed off when he learned that 150 iranians might be killed. iran said that drone was in iranian airspace when it was shot down. united states says, no, it was in international airspace. we get more from abby philip who has this report from the white house.

>> reporter: president trump offering candid details into u.s. war strategy and his own personal thinking after he was minutes away of a military strike against iran. >> we had something going. subject to my approval. >> reporter: president trump warning that a strike would be too high. >> they shut down an unmanned drone, plane, whatever you want to call it, and here we are sitting with 150 dead people that would have taken place probably within a half hour after i said go ahead. and i didn't like it. i didn't think it was proportionate. >> reporter: after days of hinting he was not inclined to use military force against iran, trump came to the brink only to make a sudden u-turn. >> and things would have happened to the point where you wouldn't turn back, or couldn't turn back. they came and said, sir, we're ready to go. we'd like a decision. >> reporter: behind the screens, cnn learned top aides including

secretary of state mike pompeo and national security adviser john bolton all argued military action was not necessary. iran not backing down, warning the administration to back off claiming not to target a second plane flying in the vicinity of the drone, this one with american personnel on board. and as tensions with iran threaten to bubble over, some of the president's critics say the administration is to blame for pulling out of the iran deal in the first place. >> if we cause other nations to once again impose sanctions on iran then we couldn't be at all surprised that iran is going to go back on the deal. >> reporter: trump firing back tweeting obama made a desperate and terrible deal with iran. adding that obama gave them a free pasz to nuclear wells and soon, instead of saying thank you, iran yelled death to america. i terminated the deal which was not even ratified by congress

and imposed strong sanctions. they are a much weakened nation today than at the beginning of my presidency when they were causing problems throughout the middle east. now, they are bust. trump's promise to evade foreign wars. >> his instincts are no foreign engagements. it's much easier to start one of these fights than it is to end him. >> reporter: sources say some on capitol hill advised him against being drug into war. but others think it's naive to come back to the negotiating table. >> if iran can demonstrate to the world that it can somehow take advantage of the united states and able to attack one of our drones, without any consequence or without any consequence being we now ask to speak to them i think is very dangerous. >> reporter: trump's department

still lacks senior leadership. >> i think the problem is not to commend him or not but to take a look at the chaos that exists within this administration. take a look at the fact that the entire leadership that the department of defense is turning over. >> reporter: sources say trump is expecting to name mark esper as defense secretary. just days after his initial choice patrick shanahan decided to withdraw. sources tell cnn that president trump is moving away from a military focus and moak coverage more on sanctions which the administration thinks is working putting pressure on iran. but the president tells nbc news it's not going down that route and would cause obliteration like iran has never seen before. the tough talk is back for now. but president trump reiterated he wanted to bring iran back to the negotiating table. abby philip, cnn, the white house. for the pentagon, it's one

of the most important responsibilities to lay out the plans for attacks like these, and the risks of a military strike. in this case, one of the biggest dangers was the unknown. how would iran react to it? our barbara starr report from the pentagon. >> with president trump calling off strikes against iran and refocusing his attention on the possibility of additional economic sanctions, the pentagon is candidly taking a bit of a deep breath. there had not been overwhelming enthusiasm for those strikes against iran, because one of the enduring questions that military leaders had here was what would iranian reaction be to a u.s. strike. they were very clear in their minds, that they simply could not predict how iran might react if the u.s. was to engage in military activity. the plan had been to strike three missile sites along the coastline. there were u.s. aircraft, u.s.

warships at the ready when the president called the mission off. now, those aircraft, those ships, are likely to stay in the region. tensions still remain very high. and what pentagon are telling us, they are going to keep those ships and aircraft there, at a very high state of readiness, if they are needed. if iran were to engage in additional provocations, more tanker attacks or something like that, shooting down another drone, that the pentagon may have to go back to the president and ask him what he wants to do next. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. and cnn is live in the region this hour, our sam kiley joins us from united arab emirates. and sam, i'm sure the nations there throughout that region breathing a sigh of relief. >> reporter: yes, breathing a sigh of relief. and now a sharp intake of breath, i think, george, because the iranian parliament speaker

has just said that par meantarians will be called to the assembly until stin tehran they described the provocation by this drone. what is important here, george, is the role of united arab emirates providing the air base by which that drone is believed to have table off. that would cause a little here in the emirates. it's not the first time that there have been suggestions from tehran, that they are backing the wrong side, that they are too closely enveloped in the whole american region in this rege. but nonetheless, given the context of what looked like potential for american retaliation, shedding blood which could have led to rapid escalation to some kind of

conflict here in the gulf of oman, the straight of hormuz, the persian gulf, the arabian gulf, think that the emiratis will be concerned what will come out of that parliamentary debate. the real power, of course, rests with the supreme leader in that country, ayatollah khamenei. and the military power is invested very strongly in the revolutionary forces. in that context, i think the emiratis may be a little more relaxed. but it is a symptom of how relatively small changes and gestures could have ripple effects that are profound. at the same time, the saudis remain in lockstep with the united states, over their continued pressure that's being brought on iran. george. >> all right. sam kiley with reporting, sam, thank you. let's get perspective now with

amy pope. amy under former president barack obama but now an associate with chatham house. joining us at this hour. glad to have you. >> thank you. >> so, from a big picture perspective, you have a u.s. president who seemed to be actually painted into a corner to act on this strike and risk war. or not to act, and signal to adversaries that the u.s. will blink. what do you make of this suggestion that president trump took this approach to effectively have it both ways and come off a hero for calling it off? >> it's hard to see these actions as heroic. what they've done is they've escalated tension with iran, but without any discernible end in sight. it's not clear what the bottom line strategy is here. and the fact is, the president triggered the action and then pulled off. that suggests chaos, that

suggests confusion, that does not present a situation where americans are safer but it does point a breakdown of bureaucratics in the white house. tell appears that john bolten is consistently at odds with the president. time and time again he's out there advocating a course of action that the president backs away from, and that's a real problem. we don't have a secretary of defense. we have the president publicly undermining other officials. it's just chaos within the white house. that's bad for the u.s. in general in terms of its strategic goals. >> curious to get your reasons why the strike was called off. president trump was told 150 lives would be lost just a short time before the strike would take place. again, only after he asked about that. several analysts have pointed out they've indicated it's hard to believe the president wasn't briefed about that critical information before the strike, well before the strike.

what are your thoughts? >> it's just not credible to suggest that he didn't have that information. if he didn't have that information, it's because he willfully chose not to get that information. but that is the standard kind of information that his advisers would have provided in a briefing, because they decided to move forward with this plan. so, it's not clear, was he not listening, was he not in the room, was there considerable planning going on without him? all of those are not great scenarios in terms of his leadership and his critical thinking. but more likely, this is part of the theater that we see consistently from this president. he sees governing as political theater. and he paints it in a way that doesn't really fit with the way the government works. and he does so, i think, to make himself look like a more decisive actor. >> play it forward, amy, to get

a sense of what would a war with iran look like? >> this is clearly not a good outcome. congress has been clear with the president and with the public that they would not support these actions. the american public is not looking to get into a war with iran. i mean, this is not where the united states wants to be -- it's not consistent with the president's policy to the extent there is any foreign policy to date. it's not an easy resolution. so, why we would consider getting into a protracted conflict with iran beyond me. and i don't think that's where the american people are, and i think that would be a very damaging move for this president to take. >> but, again, iran, its proxies, how would it play out? iran does have quite a deal of ability in that region, doesn't it? >> it does, it has tremendous influence in the region. then, again, we're looking at beyond the region itself. what is the impact on russia. you look at where china.

china has been progressively making inroads across the world, globally extending its power. it has significant infrastructure initiatives where it is building roads and infrastructure across the world. and all this time, the united states is being distracted by something with iran. so, i think it's dangerous in terms of the actual impact, in terms of the conflict with iran. but more importantly, it's dangerous because of the channel that it opens for china to cement its influence around the world. >> also, to get a sense of what this would mean, so the president doing this 180 on this strike, what message does it send to iran? what message does it send to other adversaries around the world? >> it sends a message that when you cannot trust his advisers, that they are not speaking for him, that they do not know that he's thinking, and that they cannot be relied upon to telegraph his actions.

and that's problematic, because that means that the kind of diplomacy we would normally expect to go on between countries before you get to the brink of a disaster has been undermined. secondly, it signatures this president is not someone whose word can be counted on. now, clearly, that's been evidenced throughout the last 2 1/2 years so that should not be null news ew news to them. how you can enter into a association with someone you fundamentally cannot trust to get the deal done. i think that's the problem, the president has said he's looking for a new deal with iran. if i'm sitting in the parliament and i'm listening to the hard-liners, there's no way this government is prepared to enter into a negotiation with the united states. i think that's going to be true with north korea, and i think across the world, we're undermining our foreign capability, our leadership and our ability to bring allies along with us as we try to

negotiate deals. >> amy pope, thank you for your time. >> thank you. now, iran insists that its airspace is safe. but the shooting down of the u.s. drone has created a real nightmare for air travel over the middle east. united emirates has ordered their airlines to avoid operating in that area. the american aviation administration has banned flights in part of the persian gulf and gulf of oman. united airlines announced it is cancelling flights from newark to india until september. other airlines, several of them avoiding that area as well as you see here on a list. immigration officers plan to swarm ten u.s. cities this weekend. we'll tell you what they're looking for and why they won't find much help when they get there from those cities. also, some of the central american migrants who put their lives on the line for a better

enforcement called i.c.e., will sweep through ten cities. their mission is to round up people under court toward leave the country. in all, about 2,000 people will be affected. the mayor of houston saying this, the city does not try to do i.c.e.'s job, nor does it intend to impede i.c.e., and we are will continue to be a city that builds relationship not walls. and the department personnel are reminded that the department does not participate or assist in any enforcement actions involving immigration status violations that are civil in nature. meredith wood taking a look at those raids. >> reporter: people will be removed as fast as they come in. president trump sending out a warning on twitter hinting something big was about to go down involving undocumented

immigrants in the u.s. now a senior immigration official that i.c.e., immigrations and customs enforcement is set to launch raids in ten u.s. cities this sunday. targeting about 2,000 people. mark morgan told reporters, quote, if you're here illegally, then you should be removed and in this case that included families. democratic leaders are responding calling the raid plans shameful, a re-election stunt and a despicable act of racism. so texas' governor is now deploying an additional 1,000 texas national guardsmen. >> the personnel at the border is overwhelmed. they need more assistance. congress is not providing the funding for the assistance, while we wait, texas is stepping up and helping out.

>> reporter: i'm meredith wood reporting. >> in the meantime, migrants who come to the united states are reportedly being held in filthy conditions. a group of doctors and lawyers visited border facilities, they didn't get to inspect the facilities but interviewed children there, children who told them horror stories of people being sick, not having access to soap and showers. in some cases preteens reportedly taking care of toddlers. at a hearing, a justice department lawyer was asked about those conditions. >> it's within everybody's common understanding if you don't have a toothbrush, if you don't have soap, if you don't have a blanket, it's not safe and sanitary, wouldn't everybody agree to that? do you agree to that? >> well, i think there's fair reason to find that those things may be part of -- >> not may be. are a part. >> in a statement, u.s. customs

and border protection says that its holding facilities are not designed to hold vulnerable populations and it urgently needs additional funding. it goes on to say allegations are taken seriously. to try to slow the migrants moving north, mexico and el salvadorlaunched a new program. our michael holmes traveled to the mexico/guatemala border to show us what life is like for those trying to make that dangerous trip. >> reporter: mexican troops patrol the border with guatemala to intercept migrants as donald trump promises mass deportations from the u.s. and here in the town of c tapachula, the entire families

country is. i never thought my country would be this way. i cry because of the situation living here. >> reporter: we meant three generations of the gonzalez trejo family from honduras, the youngest 5 years old, all sleeping on the streets amid heat and downpours for a week. their hearing, a month away. >> translator: if we could go to the united states that would be good. but i don't know if they would give us the visa or continue or not. >> reporter: her husband was murdered by the gangs. when her son-in-law refused to pay those same gangs, they drove shots into the bus they were living in. we left our country not because he wanted, he said, because the situation is critical, extortion, gangs, any moment there's death. so, we fled. and this was the final straw. a note on the family's front

welcome back to our viewers in the united states and around the world, you're watching "cnn newsroom." i'm george howell with the headlines we're following for you at this hour. spain's supreme court has found five men known as the wolfpack guilty of gang rape. the decision following long-running protests over their original lighter convictions. each of them has been sentenced to 15 years in prison for raping an 18-year-old victim. during the running of the bulls festival in pamplona three years

ago. the decision reverses a decision that found the men guilty. in hong kong, a bill to keep emergency workers from responding. in the coming hours, the finalist for uk prime minister are set to take part in the first of many campaign events across the united kingdom. boris johnson and jeremy hunt will address fellow tories in the city of birmingham, as they try to get votes there. the winner is expected to be announced in late july. the u.s. president donald trump says he's not looking for war with iran. but war, if it comes down to it it will, quote be obliteration like never seen before. the shootdown of a u.s. drone is just the latest in an escalating set of tensions in that region.

on june 13th, two oil tankers were attacked in the gulf of oman. the u.s. blamed iran. iran denied any involvement. then on wednesday, a facility in basra, iraq, used by numerous -- a number of oil companies including exxon, came under rocket attack. there is the fourth time in a week that rockets have struck near u.s. installations. there is no immediate claim of responsibility. but iranian-backed security sources are pointing to it. and this is the debris from the aircraft you see there. on capitol hill, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle breathed a sigh of relief when president trump changed his mind about attacking iran. house speaker nancy pelosi said she was not given a heads-up but

ultimately pleased that the preside president's reversal. >> how do we engage our allies, how do we take action in which not to inflame the situation. de-escalate. de-escalate, de-escalate. take a deep breath and de-escalate. >> he has a long-term game plan here, are but it doesn't mean you have to act within a few hours. what the president is trying to do is achieve something very large. they are well prepared. they're composed with what they're going to do. it's going to be measured. but it's all within the basis of getting the ultimate goal that iran can never achieve a nuclear weapon. >> in the meantime, lawmakers are reportedly trying to amend legislation which would state that mr. trump can't engage in host tot hostilities without approval.

>> leslie is the head of the americas group and chatham house in london. great to have you with us. we know that secretary of state mike pompeo, the president's snfr national security adviser and vice president pence, by calling it off does it seem in line with president trump the way he operates or different in your view? >> it's certainly in mind with that, but from what we can tell about careful consideration about all angles of what this might lead to unintended and intended consequences. the decision albeit, reminds me of a right one but from the president's decision to walk back from this response, this military response, but in an unredictable way. and one that doesn't give the sort of confidence that we need

or expect from the leader of the united states. >> can congress basically restrict the president from taking action in a situation like this which is something it seems some legislators are interested in doing? >> yeah. i think there is, of course, an ongoing battle between this president and this white house, over who will have the authority over use of force. now, very immediate response it would be difficult for congress to exercise that authority. but if there was going to be sustained use of military force, it's absolutely vital that congress be brought in. and of course, one thing that this is triggering quite apart from the most immediate problem, apart from what will happen with that deal and how will the u.s. exercise constraint and walk back from a very dangerous situation. there is this very broad institutional question over how

much the president will be able to use oversight. and it's very encouraging to see support from both sides of the aisle in reinstating congress' very fundamental role. >> what do you make of president trump saying he was told about 150 lives would be lost had he gone through with the strike, just a short time before it was to be carried out? you heard several analysts suggest it seems like this kind of information would have been provided well before the 11th hour of such an attack. >> well, of course, we don't fully know when he does receive that information. but it's an appropriate justification for him to use to explain what would have been a very difficult thing for this president to do, which is to walk back from an action that would have made him look very strong, very presidential. and responsive. so, to use that humanitarian justification, it's not only a good one, right? it's the right one. but it's also one that i think

helps the president to back down in a very difficult situation where there's a lot of military provocation. you know, the situation is one that, of course, the root cause of the problem was the united states' decision to withdraw from the iranian nuclear deal, a deal that iran has been in compliance with. but given where we are now, both sides, this president and iran, need some sort of safe -- some sort of justification that they can use to explain to their people why they are going to de-escalate. >> president trump has signalled, leslie, that he's open to dialogue with iran. do you think that an appetite to engage with iran, or the plan to keep up the pressure on president trump and effectively wait him out? >> well, remember, yes, talks are very important. but they've got to come with a

carrot. right now, iran is in a very difficult position, the sanctions are biting. and europe has tried tremendously hard to devise some alternative so there can be exchange which we haven't seen so far. what we have seen is iran pushing back on europe, pushing back on the united states, and talks without anything on the table that will alleviate very difficult pressure on iran right now are not palatable, and very difficult to sell. in in fact that the iranians have gained the upper hand with respect to this deal. >> leslie vinjamuri, we appreciate your time as always. thank you. >> thank you. still ahead, the moon son ra monsoon rain is finally falling in india.

today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'd rather not. in southern india, a major water shortage has led to a great deal of desperation there. reservoirs have nearly run dry. businesses have been closed and now in one town, hundreds were arrested at a protest. the good news here, the monsoon rain has finally started to fall, but the long-term outlook, not looking so good. our meteorologist derek van dam is here to tell us about it. all of this climate change crisis, playing out in india, it's happening right before our eyes. >> yeah. the story of mankind versus nature playing not front of us. population increases, that puts pressure on water infrastructure. you get that with the lack of appropriate rainfall. several monsoon seasons of

below-average rain. and the result is water shortages. drying up of reservoirs just like what you're seeing. a satellite image time lapse from last year compared to recently, a couple days ago in chennai, india, you can see that reservoir drying up before your eyes. there's the result, the near bone dry reservoir. the impact of water quality here. here's the reason why. why do we have this water source in chennai and other regions. if you recall what happened in south africa a couple years ago, we get an increase in population that puts a strain on infrastructure. people dig deeper to receive the water that is called our underwater, groundwater table. it's depleting on average from the years 2002 to 2016 to 10 to 25 millimeters. that's up to an inch a year.

that means that people need to dig deeper to get their water. and eventually that water does run out and it impacts the water quality for the 1.3 billion residents that call india home. which by the way, is projected to go over to 1.5 billion people in 2030. you see the structure that needs to be improved to accommodate that huge englandemand. in 2020, 21 cities could run out of water. and in 2030, 40% of the country's population won't have access to drinking water. we're coming off several seasons of below-average rainfall for india as a whole. that had serious implications if you can imagine. it's been a slow start. in fact, we're 40% below where we should be for rainfall totals across the entire continent. there is good news. things are changing. we have had rainfall in china

kne chennai. this is signaling the monsoon arrival. it did start on the 8th of june but the heaviest rainfall ramps up in the next weeks and months. unfortunately, the next thing we have to focus on is the potential for flooding. so as water drys out in parts of india, anger is overflowing in the state of oregon, and it's all to do with the climate crisis there. republican lawmakers are so disenchanted with the legislature, they've fled. and taken action to round them up. our sara sidner has this. >> reporter: politics have gotten so ugly in oregon, the democratic governor has now ordered troopers to track down republican state lawmakers. >> they are rogue, they need to get back and do their jobs. >> reporter: it all came to a

head with a warning from the governor saying she'd contacted state police after republican senators said they would walk out of the legislature to block a vote on a climate change bill aimed at lowers greenhouse emissions. >> if any of you are offended, that's fine. >> reporter: one responded with a threat of his own. >> this is what i told the superintendent, send bachelors and come politically armed. >> reporter: thursday, all republicans made good on the promise to walk out. attacking the senate president before leaving. >> we're at the 11th hour, if you don't think these boots are for walking, you're flat wrong, mr. president. you send the state police to get me, hell is coming through as well. >> reporter: she ordered the state police to bring them back to work. it is an extraordinary move, would you agree? >> absolutely. but i would also argue that the challenges that we face as a state and a nation around

tackling climate change also require extraordinary circumstances. >> reporter: the wife of one of the republican senators told cnn the senators went out of state to idaho. >> this is an embarrassment to the state of oregon. >> reporter: the underlying reason for the standoff, democrats have a simple majority which means they can pass legislation without a vote from a single republican. but in order to do any of the people's business, they need at least two republican senators to be in attendance for a quorum. state police say they will politely ask senators to return and accompany them. but if they can't find two senators, they would need permission from their superintendent to use handcuffs. if they're unable to convince a couple of the republican senators to come back to the capitol, then all of the people's work will eventually end. but the governor doesn't want to see that happen so she's planning on calling a special

here's the question, how much would you pay for some out of this world souvenirs? several art fa tacts from the first moon landing in 1969, they were auctions off this week. like an american flag flown on the apollo 11 mission. it went for more than $27,000. there was also a roll of film with dozens of images on the moon. $11,000 for that. and a logbook signed by three astronauts, $82,000. that mission considered one of the greatest achievement ever. our rachel crane reports the agency's report to return to the moon in five year would use rocket capsules but could inspire the same passions. >> reporter: nearly 50 years

after humans first set foot on the moon. >> that's one small step for man. >> reporter: -- nasa is planning to go back, this time to stay. >> we're going to prove how to live and work on another world. and take all of that knowledge to mars. that's the goal. >> reporter: dubbed artemis for apollo's twin sister, nasa plans to send a woman this time. the agency planned a lunar landing for 2028, but in march, the trump administration moved it up by four year. were you blind sided by the new time line? >> not at all. we have opportunity to do this. a lot of things have to go right. i'm not saying there's no risk here but it can be done. it's good for our country. it's got nasa moving in a very serious way. >> reporter: nasa has already spent years working on a rocket and crew capsule. once on the orbit, astronauts

will be docked in the space station. rockets will carry astronauts back and forth to the moon. there's still a lot to work out but the biggest obstacle is probably not technology. that's the thing, if it's not rocket science that's the hard part. it's political science convincing politicians that they need to fund this adequately. whatever you think it might cost it probably going to actually be more. >> reporter: nasa estimates total costs hit $30 billion over five years. so far, the white house has only asked for an additional $1.6 billion but it wants that money to come from the federal pell grant program. >> i think that source of funding is a nonstarter for a lot of people. quite frankly, i was scratching my head as many pore people, if we're going back to the moon, mars and beyond, we're going to need more rocket scientists, not fewer. >> what do you think it's going to take to get that bipartisan

support and get the american people jazzed about going to the moon? >> there's not partisanship in congress when it comes to exploration. you walk around this agency, you talk to scientists and engineers, they could tell you exactly where they were when neil armstrong and buzz aldrin walked on the moon in 1969. i'm the first nasa administrator that was not alive. i don't have that memory. i'll tell you what i do remember. i remember where i was in fifth grade, miss powers class, when "challenger" exploded. the whole world was watching. christa mcauliffe, a teacher, went into outer space. sorry i'm getting emotional here. i want to be clear, shuttles, amazing program. international space station, amazing program. but i don't know remember where i was on each one of those launches. i remember where i was that day.

we need to do stunning achievements to inspire the next generation. >> reporter: 50 years ago, the apollo 11 mission changed the world. now, the artemis program could inspire a whole new generation. racial crane, cnn, new york. and we end this hour with a story that could be a ferry tail. in the state of montana. authorities there were surprised about when they answered a call about a furry home intruder that caused minor damage. you see inside, they found a young black bear lying on a closet shelf, napping apparently. that shelf was neither too soft or too hard. but just right. authorities sedated the animal and removed it from the home. thank you for watching this hour of "cnn newsroom." i'm george howell at the cnn center in atlanta. for our viewers in the united states, "new day" is next. for our viewers around the world, a cnn special report is ahead "woman of mystery: melania
