the u.s. president donald trump ends this g20 trip after answering questions on a variety of topics. russia, china, trade talks and possibly meeting with kim jong-un. for more than an hour. plus, the former u.s. vice president joe biden playing cleanup, this after being blasted by senator kamala harris for his stance on desegregating buses. plus this -- >> usa! usa! usa! >> cheers and chants for team usa as they move on to the women's world cup semifinals. we are live from cnn, world headquarters in atlanta. and we want to welcome our

viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm george howell. the "cnn newsroom" starts right now. handshakes are done. the meetings are over. the g20 summit has now ended and the u.s. president donald trump is on his way to seoul, south korea, mr. trump held a wide-ranging, hour-plus long news conference, just a short time ago. he mitt on many different topics, on russia, after jokingly telling russian president vladimir putin not to meddle in u.s. elections and telling a russian reporter that putin is a terrific person and he again brought up putin's denials. >> we talked about it. we talked about it, you know, we talked about it before. you know, he denies it totally, how many times can you get somebody to deny something. but he has in the past denied it. he's denied it also publicly.

but we talked about it. we talked about a lot of other things. >> he also spoke on china and trade. a possible breakthrough in the meeting between president jump and the chinese president xi jinping, it was the first meeting between tensions between the two countries really racheted up and trade talks broke down. now president trump says talks will continue. listen. >> we will be continuing to negotiate. and i promise that for at least the time being we're not going to be lifting tariffs on china. we won't be adding an additional, you know, tremendous amount of -- by way of, i guess, $350 billion left, which could be taxed, or could be tariffed. and we're not doing that. we're going to work with china on where we left off. to see if we can make a deal. >> and then he spoke also on

saudi arabia. earlier in the day, president trump ignored a question about crown pins mohammed bin salman who has been accused of ordering the brutal killing and murder and dismembering of the "washington post" journalist jamal khashoggi. in a news conference, mr. trump was asked that question again, and despite what his own intelligence community says, the president defended the crown prince's possible role. >> there's a lot of things happening, at the same time, i will also say -- and nobody said -- nobody so far has pointed directly a finger at the future king of saudi arabia. there are large numbers of people being prosecuted. he's very angry about it. he's very unhappy about it. and i did mention it to him very strongly. and he answered very strongly. but they're prosecuting large numbers of people. that was a bad event. >> a lot of topics were discussed, and, of course, we have the best people to cover

it. our international diplomatic correspondent nic robertson and matt rivers both in osaka at this time. live for you, matt, let's start with you and the news of trade talks continuing. certainly this will be welcomed news to the markets. >> reporter: yeah, without question, although it remains to be seen exactly what was achieved between president xi and president trump when they met in terms of what does this mean for substantive progress down the road. because, frankly, george, we have been here before. i was at the last g20 in buenos aires, last december, which was the last time that president xi and president trump met in the same place. and they discussed the trade deal, which at that point, the negotiations were dead in the water. and at that point, both leaders said, you know what, let's get negotiations back on track. they went pretty well for a couple months. then they derailed again at which point both countries said well, let's leave it up to the leaders again. they're going to meet here in

osaka. they did. and theyal agreed agreed to re negotiations. just like last time, president trump said he's not raising tariffs. and it remains to be seen exactly how this changes anything, other than just kicking the can down the road in these negotiations. certainly if you're not in favor of trade war escalation, this is a better outcome than, let's say, both leaders choosing not to meet or this meeting not going well. they met for well over an hour. president trump said he thinks the event went very well. chinese state media reiterated a similar message. but in terms of coming up with a breakthrough in the trade war it didn't happen. and given that the sides are so far apart on so many issues, okay, they're going back to the negotiating table. but what happens when they get there, george. but still didn't make the trade war any worse.

>> all right. matt rivers on the trade tension that at least seem to be opening up with the trade talks. nic robertson with us as well. nic, i'd like to get your thoughts on what the president had to say with regards to russian election meddling. again, had was asked by a reporter if he is going to speak to president putin about it. president trump saying, i did say it, quote, i said the words. again, it wasn't forceful. some were questioning whether he was even serious about it. >> reporter: you know, i think that's why president trump was asked the question in a press conference because everyone that witnessed either standing on the room or saw it on tv or online who saw president trump turn across to president putin as they were sitting there before their bilateral meeting, say to him, don't meddle in the elections, please. don't meddle in the elections. they were both smiling. i don't think many people took that seriously. that's why the question came up.

to the point did you ask him again, did you ask him for forcefully. president trump said, yes, he did ask him behind closed doors. president trump questions his own national security services about in the first place, russia's meddling in the 2016 elections. what we saw president trump do again here say, essentially how many times can i ask president putin this question because he denies meddling. this is a sensitive time. he himself has kicked off his own election campaign. and russia saying it's poised or getting ready or may already be beginning to meddle in the upcoming elections. but president trump doesn't want to be forceful on president putin on this issue. and that's why it came up. so, again, i think it leaves that feeling for a lot of people what does president trump want from president putin. what does president putin want

from president trump. they both talked about having a relationship in more trade. it was such an issue, with british prime minister theresa may who got into a conversation with putin telling him trying to murder spies namely britain or meddling in other country's affairs simply is no way to conduct business. and you cannot normalize relationships with countries under that set of circumstances. so the british prime minister took a tough line, but president trump not. that's a comparison everyone can see. >> nic robertson, matt rivers, thank you both for reporting live in osaka. we'll stay in touch. just a few hours ago, mr. trump tweeted what north korea calling an interesting suggestion to meet kim jong-un at the dmz, will trump said, just to shake his hand. that also came up in a news conference.

>> if you do meet kim jong-un at the dmz tomorrow, would you step across the border into north korea? >> sure, i would. i would feel very comfortable doing that. i would have no problem. >> let's talk more about that with michael breen. mike is a columnist joining us from south korea. are you able to hear us there, michael? >> yes. >> michael, you have connection with us? you hear us? >> yes, i can hear you. >> excellent. i wanted to get your thoughts here of president trump saying he would be open to shaking the hand of the north korean leader there at the dmz. how significant and how important is that, given where relationing are now between north korea and the united states? >> well, i think it's significant in terms of the relations between the u.s. and north korea. because if you recall that four

months ago, the last summit, second summit between the two leaders collapsed. so this would signal that we're on the way, you know, we're sort of recovered. we've picked ourselves up again and the process is under way again. but i think the symbolism or the visuals of it will be tremendous. you know, over the years, american presidents have gone up to the dmz. it's sort of a bleak, desolate place. i think bill clinton called it the scariest place in the world. ronald reagan went up there and had a choir of korean children singing to him. it's sort of a photo op place. but never has an american leader been up there and been met by a north korean. if i believe, even the north korean guards sort of melt into

the back ground. it's become significant. but also it probably visually will be used for a long time, if this relationship keeps improving. >> optics, you say, would be historic for a u.s. president to be there at the dmz to meet with the north korean leader. and if invited into north korea, to step across the border, again, could be interesting, historic. the optics certainly powerful, as you point out. but the greater question is what's the value? where relations stand now, you get a sense that there is concrete evidence that, you know, the goals that the united states wants to see met there in north korea, that those goals are being met. >> not right now. i think -- you know, we're hoping. one thing to give credit where it's due. i mean president trump has done something that no other american

leader has done, which is been willing to talk to the north koreans directly. so, we've got that far. what we don't know, we still don't know hare the north koreas playing him. let's blow hot and cold, until his term is up. either a year or so, five years from now. or in fact, are they serious about deneutralizing. we don't know the answer to that yet. >> michael, we appreciate your time and perspective today. thank you. still ahead, joe biden wastes no time defending his civil rights record. >> i want to be absolutely clear about my record and position. on racial justice including bussing. still ahead, you will hear the heated exchange that prompted the democratic presidential candidate to speak out.

(laughs) the serta icomfort hybrid mattress. not just sorta comfortable, serta comfortable. the former u.s. vice president joe biden is defending his civil rights record, after it was called into question at the first democratic presidential debate. senator kamala harris said that biden boasted about working with senators who supported segregation, even though he disagreed with him.

and she accused biden of being against busing children to white schools. biden came out swinging after being slammed at that debate. >> before i start, i'd like to say something about the debate we had last night. >> reporter: joe biden is playing cleanup, after a rocky first debate, raised questions about whether he deserves to be the front-runner in the democratic presidential race. >> i heard and i listened to and i respect senator harris. but, you know, we all know that 30 seconds to 60 seconds on a campaign debate exchange can't do justice to a lifetime commitment to civil rights. >> reporter: in a previously scheduled appearance at jesse jack'sson rainbow push coalition in chicago, the former vice president trying to turn the page, over this extraordinary moment with senator kamala harris thursday night in miami. >> is there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate into public schools and she was

bussed to school every day. and that little girl was me. do you agree today that you were wrong to oppose bussing in america? do you agree? >> i did not oppose bussing in america. what i opposed is bussing ordered by the department of education. >> reporter: it was a performance even many admirers described as rusty. one ally telling cnn, he knows he has to do better, after waking up to brutal headlines and tough critiques, biden is trying to seize command over his long record which he struggled to do on the debate stage. >> i want to be absolutely clear about my position on racial justice and busing. i never opposed busing. >> reporter: >> reporter: but the issue wasn't fell busing. the one way to ensure that you set the civil rights movement in america further back is to continue to push busing because

it's a bankrupt policy. >> reporter: in the 2020 campaign, the controversy isn't really about busing. but instead, a conversation about democrats and whether biden fits the moment as the party shifts to the left. the post debate spotlight would have shined even brighter for harris if she wasn't still trying to clean up a mess of her. >> who here would abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan? >> reporter: she and senator bernie sanders were the only candidates to raise their hands. she now says she misunderstood the question, insisting she was talking about her personal plan, those those for millions of americans. it's an issue she repeated struggled to make clear since this town hall in january. >> let's eliminate all of that. let's move on. >> so at the end of the democratic debates after four hours of debating, 20 candidates on stage, one thing is clear,

there's no longer a clear front-runner. joe biden is a front-runner certainly in name only. he's a fragile front-runner. senator harris advanced many of the things she tried to do. she has a moment now to introduce herself to more people. we'll see what she does with it. but going forward, this race is wide open but one thing is clear, joe biden must prove he has a command of this race before the next debate in july. jeff zeleny, cnn, washington. >> jeff, thank you. and the u.s. president while in japan, he apparently saw a bit of the democratic debates. he may have been watching there in japan. he said the clash between two of his potential democratic rivals was given too much attention, listen. >> i thought she was given too much credit. he didn't do well, certainly. and maybe the facts weren't necessarily on his side. i think she was given too much credit for what she did. wasn't that outstanding.

and i think probably he was hit harder than he should have been hit, biden. i think he was hit actually harder. >> the president during that news conference when asked about busing, mr. trump described busing as, quote, the primary method of getting people to schools. he did not answer the question about busing that took place decades ago. president trump has been dealt a local blow on his efforts to add a border wall between u.s. and mexico. a federal judge has blocked of the use of $2.5 billion for the barrier. that decision now will prevent mr. trump from carrying through with construction in parts of california and mexico. he declared a national emergency back in february to use for the wall. democratic candidates are keeping up the pressure on president trump to address the view of immigration. a few of them visited a facility for unaccompanied children in

florida but they weren't able to get inside that facility. one of the president's critics and presidential candidate told cnn's don lemon what he was able to see. >> well, there's a spot where activists have set up ladders so you can look across the road, beyond the fence, to tents where outside of those tents in a single file line, migrant teenagers were held at homestead walk from tent to tent, during their day. and what was so powerful to me was that they're wearing these orange baseball caps that are the color of a prison uniform. and we were waving to them. you know, the activists said they can hear, if you shout. so, we were yelling supportive messages to them. but i've said a lot now that we need to end these private prison

facilities, detention facilities like homestead. and we need to end family detention. and don, this is why i was so adamant the other day about repealing the law that allows the trump administration to separate migrant parents from their little children. section 1325 of the immigration nationality act. and i was so happy last night, in the second debate, that they asked this question who on stage supports repealing that act, as i proposed. and by my count, nine out of ten candidates last night said they would support that. that is a step in the right direction. we can maintenanain border secu but treat this as a civil offense instead of a criminal. we should be doing something like investing and partnering with honduras and guatemala and el salvador, on a plan that people can find safety at home,

instead of having to come to the united states. that would actually be a much smarter, more effective way to deal with this issue. and the president should have started doing that the minute he took office because he knew this was an issue of a lot of people coming over. he's wasted 2 1/2 years. he has failed on this issue. the other thing that amazes me, don, is that you remember several months ago, the president suddenly out of nowhere found $1 billion from other parts of the budget to dedicate for this wall that he wants to build. but a few days ago, it was reported that they're saying they can't pay for soap and tooth brushes for a whole bunch of children that are at detention facilities. it makes no sense. this is sort of the bankrupt administration we have. the detention of miegrants s not only thing causing controversy. those face legal limbo and even

hunger. >> reporter: 6:00 a.m. in the mexican border town, jazmine ramirez vasquez and her co-workers begin their day in their sandwich shop. not working for profit, but to help feed the dozens of miegrans here, sometimes for months. now, the operation here is funded by private donors in the u.s. but the people who work here do it for free. they even have a shower for migrants in the back. they say they're paying it forward, doing it for god. >> translator: to see people desperate, hungry. if i had more to give, i would. >> reporter: also working here, brian, a former nicaraguan policeman who said he fled after threats to his life. now sleeping on a park bench at night, volunteering to help feed

fellow migrants by day, as he waits for immigration. >> translator: my mother taught me values and principles, you must always hem those in need. i help whoever i can. and they help me. it's a miracle i made it this far. >> reporter: around 8:00 a.m., yasmin and brian walk to where others wait at the crossings, five minutes away. families know yasmin is coming. >> translator: they're happy. they're happy when they see me with the cart. they get in line, children first, women and men. >> appreciate what they're doing. there's somebody up there thinking about us. >> translator: there's so many people that don't have money here. waiting for two to three months and they don't have money to eat. so this is a big help. >> reporter: elsewhere in mexico, the government crackdown continues in the wake of the

trump administration's tariffs threat. more than 450 central americans detained in veracruz. mostly guatemala. also nearly 180 migrants found in a trailer on thursday. back here, the sandwiches are gone for another day. the migrants grateful for locals who care. >> translator: it breaks my heart to see them suffering. i wouldn't want my children, my family to go through this. it's really sad. >> reporter: and so tomorrow, yasmin and her team will be back feeding those who wait for their number to be called. michael holmes, cnn, matamoros, mexico. still ahead, europe is suffering from a major heat waves. many suffering from record-breaking temperatures.

en route right now. a heat wave gripping much of europe, it continues over the weekend. record temperatures across europe. spain saw 41.2 degrees. and france topped out also with high temperatures, record-breaking temperatures in that country. the seattle times reports the u.s. justice department is expanding its investigation into boeing. to include the dreamliner, 787, as well as the 787 max fleet suggesting it look into the dreamliner production plant. the u.s. president will arrive in south korea shortly and some demonstrators rallying against his visit and also some in support of his visit where he meet with the south korean president moon jae-in. and mr. trump has extended an invitation with kim jong-un to meet up with him at the dmz.

our paula hancocks joins us at this hour. tell us more what you're seeing at this hour, paula? >> reporter: well, george, the numbers are fairly small at this point. there's an anti-trump protest going on around the corner. there may be up to 500 protesters there. also there are a fair number of pro-trump ralliers. certainly, he's fairly popular in this country, the conservatives like him because he's a republican president. even the progressives like him, but he is engaging with north korea, and that's what many of them want. so there is actually a fair bit of support for him. he will be coming here shortly. we know he's heading to seoul. he'll be having a dinner with the south korean president moon jae-in this evening before commitments tomorrow, sunday. of course, what has overshadowed everything about this trip to seoul is the fact that he has

said he will go to the dmz. and he is going to invite kim jong-un to come to the border as well and have a handshake with him. >> kim jong-un was very receptive, he responded. so, we'll see. because tomorrow, we're going to the dmz. i said i'while i'm there, i'll shake his hand. we get along. >> reporter: now, it appeared to be a spontaneous invitation. we don't know whether or not for sure it was. we did have an extremely fast response with north korea with the state-run kpna, far quicker than i've seen in the years i've been here. seeing that it is a very interesting suggestion, that they would like a more official invitation, with north korea and its protocol is not quite as fast and loose as the u.s. president. at this point, we've heard from the u.s. president, they may or

may not be meeting at the dmz, george. >> and if it does happen, paula, if indeed president trump is invited to cross over the line there, cross into north korea, how significant and how historic would that be? >> reporter: it would be incredibly historic. he would be the first sitting u.s. president to go into north korea. now, this area potentially where he would be, the joint security area, there is a military demarcation line within that area. the truce village of haminjad. it's the area where we saw president trump and kim jong-un stepping over the north korean side of the dmz. if president trump were to do that, he would be the first. he was asked about this in the press conference. he said would you cross the border if this opportunity arose. he said, sure, i feel very comfortable doing that. i have no problem with it. now, of course, it would be an incredible photo opportunity to

have that as going down in history. what it would achieve when it comes to denuclearization is another matter. none really has changed since the hanoi summit in february. very surprising for north korea, humiliating for north korea. when it comes for actual platform grand, very little has changed. >> that really is the final question that i wanted to pose to you. you know, we've certainly seen many letters between the two. we have the possibility of more optics. but at the end of the day, paula, is there a sense is that there is progress being made when it comes to the complete verifiable, irreversible denuclearization of the korean peninsula? >> reporter: well, it's interesting, george, just a couple days ago, we had from the foreign ministry published in media slamming the u.s., slamming trump administration officials being very careful, of course, not to slam the u.s. president himself. but slamming secretary of state

mike pompeo talking about reports that have come out recently saying that north korea is still one of the worst human rights abusers in the word. calling those reports of the officials who spoke about it, namely, pompeo, vicious, slander, hostility from the united states. so on the one hand, you are seeing this increasing hospitality between the two leaders themselves. you're not seeing that when it comes to the two countries. >> paula hancocks, standing by, as the u.s. president is en route to seoul, south korea, from osaka, japan. paula, thank you. the united states air force has sent some of its top of the line f-22 stealth fighter to qatar. it's the first buildup in the region since tensions with iran have escalated. it comes about a week after iran shot down a drone over the strait of hormuz. they're not saying how much are in qatar, but they're defending

many others were arrested. around 400 protesters, mostly students participated in it. part of a group wanting action on climate change. and across europe, nations are experiencing a miserable heat wave. there have been record-breaking temperatures that includes france where they've seen the highest ever temperature. it was a sweltering 114 degrees fahrenheit. that is 49.9 degrees celsius. a cnn producer is live in paris with more on what's happening there. sascia, we see people there and about, with people trying to cope with the heat? i don't know if we have her. but again, we see what's happening behind her there, sascia van dorin is there. 114 degrees, in fact,

record-breaking temperatures. and at this point, no relief in sight. let's bring in our meteorologist derek van dam to tell us more about what's happening. >> you know, the extreme heat is surely astounding but it's also consistent with the climate change crisis that the planet is facing at the moment. when we talk about breaking all-time national temperatures for france, this is incredible. what i found particularly astounding about this is that there were 13 weather-reporting stations that top that national record, just in one day alone. that not only solidified it in the record books it really kind of nailed home the topic, right? we're going to talk about a wide range of what's taking place here. i want to quickly highlight what happened with the ippc. what they believe is the future of climate change. and also the frequency and stewart of heat waves. that will continue to increase across the european continent. extreme heat, wildfires, of

course, the temperature goes up. the pollution in some of the major cities like paris, for instance, continues to go up as well. so air quality say big, big issue. so, this week, this has been a major topic for us. we know that germany, the czech republic and poland set all-time june record temperatures. in france, just yesterday, they set an all-time national temperature. this is the warmest that france ever has gotten. it's an incredible amount of heat here that's built up. and madrid, they had a warmest june day record temperature set two days ago. that was only held for about 24 hours because they beat it again yesterday. and they're going to flirt with the warmest day ever today. incredible, right? what is taking place here? it's all about this ridge of high pressure how we've got a nice amplified jet stream that's taking heat from the saharan desert in north africa, transferring northward and allowing for the iberian peninsula to scorch. it takes two days for the body

to adjust to extreme heat. it takes two full weeks for the body to climatize to a heat wave. that is what's taking place. unfortunately, for the women at the world cup gain, north of france, italy versus netherlands, they only get a mere 20 seconds for what is called cooling breaks. unfortunately, fifa denied netherlands their bid to change it from this afternoon to later this evening so they could have cooler temperatures but that is not the case today. wow, what an incredible amount of heat building up across europe. >> let's take a look at that. let's go back to our producer in the french capital. i know it's got to be warm there. people out and about trying to beat the heat. tell us how they're doing it. >> reporter: it is getting hotter and hotter, george. and as it does, people are taking to the refreshing

fountain behind me, dipping their legs in, swimming around, doing anything they can to keep cool. we did just hear from france's national weather forecaster. saying it does not expect france to exceed the record breaking temperature. that is not going to be exceeded today. the french government is trying to minimize casualties as much as possible. having said that the french prime minister said that he said casualties are inevitable. now, some of the measures that they've implemented include closing 4,000 schools yesterday. they have push ed nationality t next week. and just here in paris, over 60% of cars registered in the region have been banned from the road. and that is in a bid to fight air pollution that is being made worse by the hot temperatures,

george. >> saskya, of course, no relief in sight across europe. we'll stay in touch with you as people continue to deal with the miserable heat wave. paris may be experiences record-breaking temperatures but the heat failed to dampen the mood at the u.s. women's world cup. all eyes were on the game's top scorer. >> reporter: megan rapinoe has written the headlines pretty much. it could almost be written in the stars, she would be the one making the difference. two goals on the night. her fifth in two games to book her side, a place in the semifinals. she'd been adamant, the virtual sparring with u.s. president trump was not going to detract, through the team's quest to end a record extending fourth women's world cup. and to underline the points, it took her just five minutes to

find the back of the net and give the usa an important early lead over the host to see the defending champions really tamp their authority on the pretenders to their crown. >> we would like to play a little nicer today but we're moving on to the semis. into the medal rounds. i think we have england, right? the next game. we'll enjoy this for sure. it was so special to be able to beat the host nation in france. you can't ask for anything more than this. >> reporter: this was a proper world cup atmosphere. an atmosphere that wouldn't have been out of place at the men's tournament in russia 12 months ago where the fans were so celebrated. with all of the hope, expectation and roaring support, the french just couldn't find a way through. and in turn, find their hearts broken for the fifth time in five major tournaments at this, the quarterfinal stage. this will, you suspect, hurt the most right here on home soil. for the u.s. and rapinoe, the

journey continues. they'll face england in lyon on tuesday. >> amanda, thank you. we're analyzing the second debate between the u.s. presidential candidates and it gives us, you could say, pointed look at some of the candidates' bad habits. we'll explain what we mean, right after the break. stay with us. stop struggling to clean tough messes with sprays. try new clean freak! it has three times the cleaning power to dissolve kitchen grease on contact. it works great on bathtubs. and even stainless steel. try new clean freak from mr. clean.

we're looking at the room that gave witness to some of humanities greatest achievements. this is nasa's mission control center, the command post that oversaw historic space missions. over the years, time has taken toll on this facility, of course. but now, it has been restored to its former glory, just in time for the 50th anniversary of the apollo 11 spaceflight. it's supposed to look exactly as it did on july 20th, 1969. that's the day when man first landed on the moon. the modern day pride movement was solidified by the

stonewall riots which began 50 years ago to the day on friday. in 1969, police raided a popular gay bar in manhattan, at the time there were no laws protecting gay people with rights. and police were determined to shut do that you know. that spawned riots for several weeks. haunted the legacy of riots and pushing for legislation of the lgbt rights. that push continues today. the democrats hoping to become the next u.s. president covered a wide range of issues during the second debate sparring with each and trying to gain trust and support from voters. but it wasn't so much what was said but was what waved around that got attention. our jeanne moos has this. >> reporter: who knew a candidates's arms could get such a workout in a presidential debate. all of that pointing, waving and pumping. then the strenuous starts.

hand. did you raise your hand? okay, you did? sorry, sorry. >> if i had the right answer, i did. >> reporter: there it was again. >> without documentatiodocument. >> reporter: the waving finger. >> i don't know if you raised your hand -- >> reporter: some compared joe on whether or not to world the world series or "one flew over the cuckoo's nest." camera harris took back her vote. there were lethal arms on stage. joe flinching at bernie's flailing arm became a gift. but if he wants to get to pennsylvania avenue, maybe joe should listen to sesame street. ♪ >> reporter: or at least your finger, jeanne moos, cnn. ♪ ♪ raise it up raise it up ♪ ♪ just ledding you know the
