today? >> it's incredible. as a lawful of police, tacktieses and a place has fanned out across the city of hong kong. i'm in causeway bay. this is one of the most famous shopping directions in hong kong. this intersection that i'm standing with, is usually one of the biggest of all-song. i talked to a protest leader. i said, when the march starts, where are they going? she had no idea. this is the idea of the leader less movement in hong kong. it's become spontaneous. and some protesters are fanning out to a direction where the chinese labor office is.

we're keeping tabs on that issue here. what we do see is a number of protesters dressed in black. some are wearing hard hats. many are wearing masks. we've seen them erect barricades. they're looking for cryptic messages. what's galvanized is the latest in the response. cnn was in the far north of the city. aun unlawful march. and the police, in a very forceful clearance operation. using pepper spray and teargas. many were able to see glad on the high schoolle floor. 20 people were hospitalized. four of the police officers were

injured as the result. i spoke to a pro democracy activist. this was when it was a march valley, in central. let's listen to how that has gav gavelized the movement. >> i would characterize the protest. the bill exists and not determine nated. just how, being the puppet of beijing, we knew now is not only related. now, is the summer of this conte conte content. >> joshua wong calling this the summer of dis content. you see the protesters behind him, wielding their umbrellas. not necessarily because of the

rainfall, but to shield the activities that is happening underneath the umbrellas. it feels like the events have happened this weekend. the unlawful protests, that have broken out, and represents a new front in the long summer of protests here in hong kong. the protesters asked for permission. permission would be granted. residents would be aware of the areas they should avoid. this could break out at any corner of hong kong. >> we'll stay in close contact. we hope it remains peaceful after yesterday. protests in russia, as well. police tried to keep the protesters from reaching city recall. this is after a number of

opposition and independent candidates are barred from elections. >> the clashes several several people blod died. here in the united states, the outrage is raw, after the u.s. president insults an mental city and its african-american comment, elijah comincomings. where no person would want to live. more from boris sanchez at the white house. >> reporter: it appears that trump was set off from the elijah coummins and how it

happened. he was not happy with the way he grilled officials. and the president watching fox news. in an hour before the tweets were sent out, they did a segment on the particulbaltimor. that's where you get the president's line of attack. forget questions about decor or race baiting, there's the fact in a the tweets are misinformed. elijah cummins delicate in the country is inaccurate. jack young had this to weigh in.

>> go out and see in the districts. and we're still working to rebuild some of the areas for him to say that as the seventh krojsal district. that's not -- we're degrading new york city. no one. i will be defending baltimore city, the city where i true out. >> the president tweeting this out. elijah cummins trying to spend for people for oversight. take a look. and he hash tags it blacks for trump 2020. he will be some help courting the african-american vote.

he got 8% during the 2016 electi election. many democrats are furious remarks, trying to push back hard on think vision and social media. thankman summons wrote this one. every day i travel to my morning. it is my moral duty, he says, to swat for nine politicians. >> if president trump decided too step not in any west-baltimore, he would see hardworking americans, who wake up anywhere best and try to go to work and own small

businesses, who are the bedrock of what we see in country. for him to disparage and assault. the city of boston is unacceptable. le. >> nancy provided baltimore as a champion in civil rights. democratic senator and presidential candidate, elizabeth warren, went even further. >> jmp, is a racist who makes ever more outdangerous, racist remarks. to be attacked by a president? it is beyond insults.

>> he brings shame to himself and the office. here's "the baltimore sun," swumming it up, better to be rats than have to heat them. >> for people thal grew up in baltimore, those people invested to use over and over again, seemingly reserved, only for people attacks the center. victor blackwell delivered the facts on his home down, again. >> reporter: this morning, the president attacked another member of congress on twitter. this time, it's elijah cummings. he wrote this -- summings convict is a disgusting, rat

baltimored mess. no human being would want to live there. infe infested. that's usually referred to references to the rodents and incircuits. we've seen lawmakers for two weeks before. you see the pattern here? why don't they go back to the crime- crime- crime-inquested places. three of them were born. invested. january 2017, congressm maman j lewis, spent more time in fixing his district. not to mention, crime invested. president trump has tweeted 43,000 times. he's insulted people, it's about

black and brown people. september 2014, why are we sending ill-trained soldiers to bring them back to africa. bring the plane to the u.s. obama is so stupid. infested, he says. so many people are crime-infested and bleeding concept. the president says about cummins, district. that no human would want to live there. you know who did, mr. president, i did. from the day i was brought home from the hospital, to the day i left college. and a lot of people still do. there are challenges.

all right. the next round of democratic candidate debates will be tuesday and wednesday in detroit, hosted by cnn. it is a crowded field. 20 people competing for air time and public recognition. for joe biden, it's time for him to alert himself. others will be looking to articulate their vision and to build name recognition. elizabeth warrings is covering him. >> amanda buck is covering he's campaigns in he brought a beauty

to detroit. >> reporter: elizabeth warren hit the complain trial on saturday. she is enjoying a burst of momentum. just logged 1 million donations for her fund-raising. she remains in the top tier of the momentum. can she build on it? she will be on stage with bernie sanders. the two of them side-by-side. both competing for many of the same voters. the question is how warren is going to handle this. some of the other candidates, joe biden, has been sounding aggre aggressive. joe biden will be on stage with kamala harris and booker.

she is going to get out there and tell her message. talk about what she believes are in for tonight. we can expect a more even less essential wous inting into this emotion. >> she responded to the district had to say about baltimore in a tweet. >> donald trump is a racist who makes ever more outrageous, racist remarks. it is insulting, for congressmen and people he represents.

elijah cummings is a good man, through and through. and he fights for what is justice in this country. to be attacked by a president, issuing racist tweets. it is beyond consulting, it is disgusting. >> that's some of the longest language we have heard from president trump. she's been posting on her own message, what she thinks is in the democratic preview. perhaps a shift or a preview of what's about to come from warren. let's look ahead at the debates coming up. good to have you. >> very nice to be here.

>> two days and a lot of democrats will be on stage, fighting for the spotlight. does it benefit for the candidates candidates or among the contenders that are trying to break out. >> it's interest of those things. we have 20 candidates. five in a pack on their own. really, four now. and you have a number of candidates, where it's almost a do or die throws of the impact. they will have to fight it out, o'rourke, booker and the leading others. if there's a fundamental dwoid -- it tells you a lot about the democratic party,

which is what it's an identity politics, first, an economic class and equality agenda. >> eat's talking about joe bide nl. isn't nowhere nice guy. isn't that what voters like him? how do you see that balance into the energy. >> i think joseph biden has a long part of that history, is that he pends to make gaffes in public. he brought up -- collaborated with senators. the thing about the former vice president is he is steeped into

the masclnt administration. looking like a statesman and able to take on capitol hill others because they effectively are attacking core parts of his agenda. mr. biden saying he supports the president is evolving, as he heads into election cycle. biden and camera harris will taken issue with cory booker and control justice reform and race. is this the winning strategy to focus on the president's president. >> i think it's difficult for

joseph biten to do that. even the statement of relies it lends to rejections in the policy and the electorate. the electorate is much more official on material issues, economic equalities and standards of living and the future. >> i think that plays into president trump's hand a great deal. unless it's a vision over and above, let's talk about minimum wage and health care and so on. i think it will be hard for any of the candidates.

here's the reports of the election attacks. >> the republican vote in the

house, is not going through to the senate, through unanimous consent. >> the senate intelligence committee related its report, detailing russian efforts to hack election infrastructure in the united states, in 2016. much of it is redacted. but here's some of what that 67-page document says. it says, the russians engaged in extensive activity from 2014 and 2017, and targeted all 50 u.s. states. in reports they deployed between u.s. and state authorities. it found no evidence that votes were changed for machines were manipulated. let's talk about this with an internet kurt fousecurity ext and founder in security cares. the russia government began

inf infrastructure. they targeted 50 states. what hack hicks did the russians lose in the election. and what might they be doing now? >> there's tactics that are identified by our reports. some of them is trying to make it to the border. specifically, the report actually pointed out that the vote itself, was never as far as they are aware. and those are the key words. as far as they are aware, was never accessed. with us and more is going to come out on this, they use other channels to affect perception. they tested different systems out. they were scamming and trying to get in. and 18, possibly 21 states.

>> when you say voter registration systems, what's the goal? >> i would figure out, these people are republicans and these people are democrats. i know them by individuals and i know how to target them by candidates that are running. this isn't a one-off and you get in and you change something and you get out. this is something you have to do overtime because it affects somebody's belief in somebody. i see this in one step in a longer term plan, to push messages to certain individuals. a certain kind and a different message to certain individuals, who may be on the "r" or the "d" side. >> this is ongoing.

he warned leaders on capitol hill this is a threat to american democracy and it is ongoing. let's listen to him right here. >> did you think this was a single attempt to get involved in our election? or do you find evidence that they will do this again? >> they're doing this as we sit here. and they expect to do it during the next campaign. >> stthat was a warning. and despite that war making, the republican lawmakers defeated a referendum. mitch mcconnell #moscowmitch. how important is that this country come together. >> this cannot be an issue where

the rs are one side and the "d"s are on the other. it's a federal state whose territory it is. the question of what should be done about it, we should be acting on this now. it's not just the russians. director mueller said, it's happening as we speak. but the russians, iranians, against the united states and against one agenda. we need to be stepping up quickly, rather than waiting another four or two years. we knew about 2014 earlier. that's why it's surprising for the intel committee to come up with one of five reports. >> right. there has to be outrage to the point they come together in

washington. and do we have the technology or the intelligence to get ahead of russia and others? >> let me say, we have had the technology to respond for these things, for years. they're using invulnerabilities. that's easy to stop if you are paying attention and updating your systems. using the latest aenraent virusd physical soft more right now. there's more of what should have been doing to make this easier years ago. this is a new fact of the matter is. we need to get the folks on the capitol hill, the folks in

washington to get together and say, we aren't going to say, let's do it next time. we'll say, let's do it yesterday. truly get together and burn the midnight oil, as they say, and make something happen here. >> we hope they do. we appreciate your expertise. >> thanks, natalie. >> it's chilling isn't it? in the state of georgia, election officials have been accused of throwing away evidence to show thele machines are outdated and vulnerable to hacking. georgia's secretary of state refuted to the actions and reported no machines were manipulated and no votes are changed. in austria, the future of the iran nuclear deals will be

terror. >> reporter: less than a year later, the islamic revolutionary board, a campaign of organization pressure intensifies. >> neighbor doing bill jins is worth your time. >> reporter: letening sanctions on any nation that buys their oil. in may, the u.s. sends a strike group, bombers and middles to the es these unprovoked attacks, are a clear threat to security. >> the u.s. blames iran, for two oil tankers attacked near the strait of hormuz. a week later, iran shoots down a navy drone they say was in its

territory. but the u.s. says it was their air space. we had no intention but to fight with any countries. but we are ready for war. >> reporter: the next morning, the military is strength of almost opening. >> i didn't like the unmeal of them to shoot down the unmanned throne. i didn't like that. iran's foreign minister says that iran is taking the stockpiles of low-grade uranium. mentions are rising between

ariran and the u.k. british marines help the boxes. >> took an iranian drone. >> reporter: it announced destroying the drone. calling the claim cues is dmigsal. m commissional. another confrontation in that key waterway. only an onian is forcing the moment to change course. it wbritish insinced.
