angle so that it's wide enough to see everybody but not so wide that the picture is distorted. >> perhaps there's hope for you after all. the u.s. president in france at the g7 meeting, meeting with boris johnson and others, and different takes on the u.s. trade wars with johnson. cnn is live in france with the latest for you. and lightning strikes a tree at the pga tournament, injuring people getting shelter under that tree. and hong kong's dangerous deadlock. pro-democracy protesters spend another weekend in the streets and pro-police protesters doing the same. live from cnn headquarters in atlanta, we want to welcome our viewers here, from around the
1:01 am
united states and the world, i'm george howell. cnn newsroom starts snow. it's 4:00 a.m. here on the u.s. east coast. and we start with the g7 summit in southern france. that's where official meetings are now getting under way. the u.s. president, just a short time ago, the leaders there will discuss many issues over the coming hours, including global trade and international security. president trump has called for a session specifically to talk about the u.s. economy. earlier, the leaders of the u.s. and u.k. spoke on the sidelines of that summit. their first face-to-face meeting since boris took over. president trump called the british leader the right man to lead the u.k. out of the european union. mr. trump denied he was being pressured by other g7 leaders to back off his escalating trade
1:02 am
war with china, despite concern it could lead to a global recession. listen. >> are your allies pressuring you to give up the trade war with china? >> no. not at all. i haven't heard anything. they respect the trade war. it has to happen. i can only speak to the united states. but from the standpoint of the united states, what they've done is outrageous. and presidents and administrations allowed them to take hundreds of billions of dollars out every year and putting it into china. the answer is, nobody is telling me that. nobody will tell me that. >> let's go live to the summit, where nic robertson is live. president trump met with his british counterpart. tell us more about the nature of those discussions.
1:03 am
>> reporter: interesting, for sure. theresa may had held the country back in the past from leaving the european union. this is what boris johnson wanted. he got and wanted what president trump was talking about a good trade deal with the united states. but it was interesting to see how boris johns soson interacte with the u.s. president. and the clip you just played, that no one questioned him so far about the escalating trade war with china. boris johnson interjected at that point, to register a sheep-like note, that we don't want an escalating trade war. we would rather have peace. johnson, in a way, at points, validating the president, saying the president did a good job on
1:04 am
the u.s. economy. but he also seemed to contradict the president. you would see that although donald trump likes boris johnson and this was the meeting he was looking forward to, perhaps boris johnson maybe recalibra recalibrating how he handles the u.s. but this is what they had to say on the issue of trade. >> our country is doing really well. we have horrible trade deals and i'm straight thing thening them. >> i congratulate the president. it's great to see that. to register the sheep-like view on the trade war.
1:05 am
>> we think, on the hole, where the u.k. has profited massively in the last 200 years from free trade. and that's what we want to see. we're looking to see that. >> reporter: on the whole there, boris johnson, i think, will be able to walk away from that feeling. at least for him right now, in the u.k., with a possibility of a general election coming up, wanting to show the european union he has a good relationship with president trump and the united states. he will have liked what he got out of that. he is being isolated here at the g7. let's watch this relationship closely, i think. >> nic, as well as speaking about trade issues and the economy, as we're seeing here, much of the discussion was around climate issues and things of that nature. >> climate is going to come up.
1:06 am
that's part of one of the important topics for the host here. president macron of france, a topic he wants to see discussed that president trump feels is something that isolates him. and macron also wanted to discuss inequalities. social economic but gender inequalities. this is an issue that president trump said to his aides that he feels is a distraction and not a central part of what a g7 is or is important to him, which is the economy. and president trump wants to have the opportunity to speak about how well his handling the u.s. economy and that any war with china is a temporary pay for a long-term game. on the issue of climate change, that would be one of the reasons that president macron said, there's not going to be a joint
1:07 am
communique because there's been a stumbling blocking to get a communique out that everyone can agree with because president trump objects to strong language about climate change. it doesn't seem that president macron will get what he wants, other than to have the issue on the table and have it discussed. but it probably won't move what the world should do together on the climate issue. it's not going to move that forward. >> nic robertson, live for us. nic, thank you very much. let's put it in perspective with scott lucas. the founder and editor of "e.a. world view." zbll good to be with you. >> his thoughts on trade than the u.s. president there. johnson needs the u.s. president, his support, for a
1:08 am
trade deal with the united states. who has more leverage in that relationship? >> the u.s. has the leverage, first of all, because the trade deal is mythical. you cannot get a trade deal even under the best circumstances, within two to four years. the idea there's going to be a u.s./british trade deal, not going to happen. but johnson has to maintain the illusion. the problem for johnson, that makes it look like he's in the americans' pocket, and begging for a deal. for example, only a couple weeks ago, john bolton came to london and said, you want the deal, you need to support us against iran and china. you need to back off issues like climate change. johnson tried to put distance between him and trump. saying maybe the trade wars
1:09 am
aren't a good thing. but donald trump may take offense at that. does trump give full support to johnson? or does he have a dig against him on twitter? >> in the meeting, president trump has mentioned he wants to invite russia. keep in mind there's a possible trade war in the u.s. why is that what we've seen before. >> he likes vladimir putin. that's as simple as that. whether or not it's because of russia's interference in the 2016 election, or his personal affinity for putin as the strong, tough leader. the fact is, often, in contradiction to u.s. agencies, trump wants to bring russia in, including into the g8. he's amplifying that the g7 is no longer the g7, but the g6
1:10 am
plus one. the european leaders and japan will not support bringing russia back in, given the annexation of crimea and given the russian foreign policy and cyber war fa warfare. how does he push this? >> the president's aides were reportedly angry that the summit focused so highly on issues like climate change, they say, without touching on economic issues. that's why we're seeing the president getting what he wants here, time to speak about the u.s. economy. what is your take on why it is so important for president trump at a time when the world is concerned about a possible global recession, to talk about u.s. economy issues. >> it's not just reportedly. administration officials were trashing the french because the french were daring to say, let's talk about climate change and
1:11 am
talk about trade wars and talk about health and jengender issu. donald trump wanted a special session to talk about how great the u.s. economy has been. why do they want that? in the past two weeks, there's been signals of a u.s. economic downturn. the bond markets, consumer confidence at its lowest point. the stock market having the most serious loss of 2019, and economic indicators that it's a low point since 2016. if they get a boost this weekends, all is well, folks. no problems. we're running for election in 2020, maybe that would give them a boost, despite the bad news. the problem is, france isn't playing along. >> there's a lot of talk coming from the administration, saying nothing to see here. but the numbers are saying other things. and the people who follow those numbers will watch and wait to
1:12 am
see how it plays out. scott lucas, live for us. thank you. >> thank you. now, to tell you about a new round of israeli air strikes, striking the syrian capital on saturday. israel's military say they targeted shia militia and iranian forces near damascus. it was, what israel called, an attack of killer drones. sam kiley is live in jerusalem. what's the reaction from syria, given the action taken by israel? >> so far, interestingly, neither the syrian nor the iranians have reacted, not yet publicly. these strikes only occurred just around 11:00 p.m. local time last night. but syrian local news there reported them alive, as they went in. the syrians on tv, that they
1:13 am
downed some of the missiles. and unusually, too, the israelis singled out the kurds force of iran, as well as shiite militia, as being the main target. as you say, the killer drones, that's their term for what they say are a hitherto unseen form of weapon for its being used in real-time. there was a clear and present damage, even though as far as the israelis were concerned, they were monitoring what they said was an aggressive session, in the north of israel, for a period prior to the air strikes.
1:14 am
there's something of a political bounce for the fortunes of benjamin netanyahu, coming up on elections. and there was a backdrop of hints from israel, they might have been behind previous air strikes against iranian-backed targets inside iraq, in what would have been a significant escalati escalation. last night, benjamin netanyahu repeated his statement that iranian forces anywhere in the world could not feel safe. the last time he said that, whether or not israel were in attacks with iraq. we have increasing, more focused targeting on iranian targets perceived to be a threat against
1:15 am
israel, george. >> this is one to watch, for sure. sam kiley, thank you for the reporting. the russian navy is flexing its military muscle. two submarines test-fired ballistic missiles on saturday in the arctic ocean. moscow reports the tests were a success. two weeks ago, there was a different story. that's when five nuclear specialists were killed in a blast. there's been speciulation they were working on a design. kim jong-un witnessed the launch. released these images of the dictator supersizing te insuper. they will come up with tactical weapons for, quote, hostile forces. saturday's best was pyongyang's latest short-range missile
1:16 am

1:20 am
welcome back to cnn newsroom. i'm george howell. in hong kong, we're following events there. two, different rallies under way this hour. on one side, protesters who demand more democratic liberty. on the other side, police family rememb members who want more respect shown to the force. in is one day after clashes broke out between authorities and democracy protesters. let's turn to our correspondents covering these events. our kristi lu stout. we see people behind you. what's the tone and the message? >> reporter: george, we've been following this rally that's turned into a march, comprising of family members of the hong
1:21 am
kong police. they are not here to defend the tactics of the hong kong police. if you could distill the message into two parts, they want to return the police to represent the people of hong kong and they want political stab aal stabili 12 weeks of turmoil here. these members are saying enough is enough. they have a list of demands that were put into a petition. among those demands were with protesters. they want an inquiry into the protests. they want a political solution, to 12 weeks of nonstop political marches, protests and clashes between police and protesters, as we saw play out in eastern calhoun where teargas was fired into a group of violent protester there's. they have delivered a petition to carrie lam.
1:22 am
even those these are family members of the police, they are not taking the sides for the police or anti-police. they want to see a return to stability and a return to peace. we heard from certain family members of police officers who shared their stories. one woman said she wanted police officers to remember why they joined the police force to begin with. if protesters break the law, they should be arrested. and she added she wants to see the end of the police being treated as an enemy of the people. as their slogan said, they want the police to be returned to hong kong. >> the message that you're sharing from the people there, seems to be in line with what we heard from carrie lam, who said, everyone's tired at this point.
1:23 am
>> that's right. but the ball is in their court to come up with a political solution. we know on monday, she held a press conference saying that she wanted to set up a platform for talks to talk to stake holders. it's difficult to see how that's going to work when the overall protesters are vast and leaderless. whether they're the political establishment or business establishment, they want her to grant two of the five demands of the greatest protest movement, setting up a condition to inquiry and withdrawal the extradition bill that sparked off the summer of protests, when it started so many months ago in june. >> kristi lu stout live for us in hong kong. let's bring in andrew stevens at a pro-democracy rally. if you could tell us what is happening behind you. the crowd size and the sentiment
1:24 am
of people there for a 12th-straight weekend. >> it's a testament to the commitment of these demonstrators. it's a miserable day in hong kong. the rain has continued. this is a small section of what i would estimate to be tens of thousands of protesters. they're making their way down from a gathering point, about 20, 30 minutes away, on their way to a park, where they plan to stay and continue to push their demands for pro-democracy. the five demands of the protests. what is interesting is another sunday, another big rally in adverse conditions. the commitment is very, very clear. there's families here, small children walking with the protesters. there's many people of all walks in society. they are here to offer their support and their commitment to
1:25 am
getting the government to listen to them. they continued to say the government is just not listening to them. we will say, we've seen the fences that are keeping the rallies on the road and are being ripped up and tying into triangles that they will use as barricades against the police. this is one of the circumstances that tends to build for confrontation. the barriers are set up. a lot of the more violent pars parts of the protesters, start goading the police. police respond with teargas. at this stage, it's peaceful and determined. >> andrew stevens, live for us. along with kristi lu stout, we will monitor events in hong kong. still ahead, there's a
1:26 am
chilling sign of the times. a u.s. high school renovated to defend against mass shootings. we'll have details on this multimillion-dollar project taking place. bestruggle. there's an easier way. try mr. clean magic eraser. just wet, squeeze and erase tough messes like bathtub soap scum and caked-on grease from oven doors. now mr. clean magic eraser comes in disposable sheets. they're perfect for icky messes on stovetops, in microwaves, and all over the house. for an amazing clean, try mr. clean magic eraser, and now, new mr. clean magic eraser sheets.

1:30 am
the u.k. out of the european union. israel has launched air strikes on, quote, killer drones. they say hostile targets were intercepted in the skies above damascus. in hong kong, pro-democracy supporters of the police holding different rallies in the city. this comes one day after authorities clashed with the democracy movement. the leaders there, ending a week of relative calm. an 8-year-old girl has become one of the latest victims of gun violence in the united states. she was shot and killed at a high school event. authorities were clearing crudcs
1:31 am
in the area. a few hours later, another alarming scene in the same city. the video shows hundreds of people running from a separate high school event. there were reports of shots fired. in the united states, active shooter drills and bulletproof backpacks are becoming more and more common. now, one school has renovated its campus to make it harder for potential shooters to carry out attacks. baer bear in mind, i learned this is the school that our senior producer attended many years ago. that is how close to home things are in the united states. here's terry's school. it has security features, such as hidden corners s ts to hide. the architect usually makes prisons. he wanted to strike a balance between security and a welcoming
1:32 am
presence. jacob barrant, has a look at reaction from the community. >> reporter: beth green's two children have goals. >> sometimes it's a nurse. sometimes it's a police officer. >> reporter: when hanna and ethan get to high school in a few years, their momma is happy to know they will be at a state-of-the-art school when it comes to safety. >> they are doing everything they can to protect students, the staff, everybody in the district. >> reporter: the fruitport high school will feature curved hallways and impact-resistance film on all windows. it will have winged entranceways and hallways. and all of the doors in the entire school district will be able to be locked with one push of a button. >> these safety measures, it's sad they have to do it. i'm thankful they are doing it. i have two kids there. it's exciting to see what
1:33 am
they're doing with the high school. >> reporter: the superintendent has received criticism for openly distributing the measures. he wants the parents to understand the great lengths the district has gone through to keep staff and students safe and secure. >> it's good for the me to know they are thinking ahead. >> reporter: so, parents like green don't face the unimaginable. >> i know there's that possibility. >> schools designed with prisons in mind. the renovations of that school expected to be done in 2021. the national rifle association has a lot of influence in washington. however, a recent upheaval at the gun rights organization may change that. our tom foreman has a look at the turmoil at the nra.
1:34 am
>> we are done with your agenda to undermind voters' will and liberty in america. >> reporter: the nra channel is gone. so is a top nra lawyer. the nonprofit second in command is out. and the raging turmoil of this summer may not be over, as chief executive wayne lapierre appears to be conducting a purge of all opponents in his group. >> the second amendment is not the government. it's your individual right. that's what it's all about. >> reporter: "the new york times" says the fight is about lawyers, guns and money. earlier this year, nra president oliver north laced a salvo on lapierre. the wj w"the wall street journaa plan was floated to buy him a mansion. the nra says the expenses were
1:35 am
all valid. but lapierre accused north on cashing in on an nra deal with a advertising deal. there's been denials all around, and inquiry into the group's tax-exempt status. >> wayne lapierre has taken members' money to live the life of a king. wayne lapierre is an odious little grifter and it's time for him to go. >> reporter: as some high-profile mass shootings have spurred gun control advocates, lapierre has rallied his base of support. when president trump was talking about background checks for purchases, lapierre called him and the message changed. >> it's not the gun that pulls the trigger. it's the person that pulls the trigger. lapierre knows the state of the
1:36 am
group's finances. he has deep ties to the 76-board of directors, even as six has resigned amid the controversy. >> wayne lapierre was in a position to protect himself. anybody that got in his way is now gone. >> reporter: the nra is characterizing much of this as a smear campaign against the group and its leaders saying wayne lapierre chose a difficult but principled path, while others went for greed, laws and betrayal. here in atlanta, six people were injured at the pga tour championship, one of golf's premier events. look at what happened here. lightning struck this tree. people were underneath that tree, seeking shelter. the video captures one of two lightning strikes at the event.
1:37 am
patrick snell has the story. >> reporter: saturday, proving to be a day of huge concern for tournament organizers and spectators on the course here, when six people were injure d following a lightning strike close to the 16 hole, at a fan engagement zone. initial reports indicating they're not appearing to be life-threatening. this is after organizers decided to suspend play for the second-consecutive day, due to the weather. after what transpired it would be a decision taken to stop play for the entire day. and now, a golfers will return to finish off the third round at 8:00 on sunday morning, with spectators allowed back on the course at 7:00 a.m. sunday morning. 2019 has been a significant year

xfinity. the future of awesome. fires continue to burn in the amazon rain forest. but help may be on the way. brazil's president says he's sending in more than 43,000 troops to help fight the fires. he plame blames the fires on wa weather. his critics say he is at least partly to blame for calling for the amazon to be developed,
1:42 am
leading for form efarmers to ses to clear land. nick paton walsh has this story from inside brazil. >> reporter: the view down this tributary of the amazon should be clear. but the smoke from the fires has masked much of it all day. you can smell it in the air here. this town knows fully well the disaster unfolding. further down the highway that drives into the heart of the amazon, we drove in there ourselves. the police said to us that the fires surge at night because they are started by those who seek to get rid of the forest canopy and use the deforested land for agriculture. many of the fires are started deliberately. the president has provided a climate where that's permissi e permissible. he said the amazon is a resource that should be used by the people to enrich them and echoed that in a speech on friday,
1:43 am
where he saturdayed international criticism of his stance on the amazon. he tried to suggest that the fires were part of the burn here. we're seeing the military heading up here. 43,000 were supposed to go to the amazon, in general. and we saw the cargo planes here, probably part of the broader effort. there's no doubt of the science that is 85% more fires than burning last year. an area, equivalent to 1 1/2 football pitches is being deforested. and there's a number of fires. there's an enormous task here and the brazilian army doesn't have the capability to deal with it fast. many hoping for ranls. will that curb the effort or curb the spread of the fire?
1:44 am
unclear. and the broader question, too, where does brazil stand? france says it's lying. the united kingdom says more must be done to save the rain forrest. a lot of pressure on brazil. but really, this is a global challenge. the lungs of the earth at stake. now, to tell you about a tropical storm that's threatening the caribbean. derek van dam is here. derek? >> the storm has its eyes set on puerto rico, as well. that's alarming. not only the leeward and the westward its, an area of puerto rico is also under threat. at least in the five-day path of the storm. we'll get to the details in a second. what has started off as a quiet atlantic hurricane season has shifted gears and things are ramping up across the entire basin. from west africa into the
1:45 am
caribbean. a few areas we're watching and on par with what we expect to see. we're reaching the peak of the atlantic hurricane season, that is about september 13th. that's when we see the most activity across the atlantic basin. there's two areas that we're watching, one off of the southeast coast of the united states. 80% probability of development. that storm, likely to be fish food. tropical storm dorian, just formed. waiting for the 5:00 a.m. eastern standard time. not just quite here yet. satellites showing this circulation pattern, a disorganized area of showers and thunderstorms. you can see what's in its wings. the leeward and winward islands. martinique, dominica. and there's puerto rico. if you see the path, you see how
1:46 am
that extends through the islands. it's expected to strengthen as it does so. into the wednesday time frame, we expect the potential impacts from the storm to reach puerto rico. we don't know what it's going to look like at that stage. the potential of a stronger storm. something we need to monitor closely. there's a lot of deterrents working against the storm, including upper-level wind sh r shear. the topography is going to rip apart the storm, as well. for it to redevelop as it reenters the golf of mexico, that means the united states will have to be on standby, as well. the storm off of the southeast coast, all of our computer models keep it offshore. it will kick up the surf. be careful on the beaches. >> all right, thank you.
1:47 am
still ahead here on "newsroom." joe biden took his campaign to new hampshire this weekend. what he says about voters who worry he's too old to be president. that story ahead for you. plus, you think a presidential hopeful would be glad to start a speech on a high note. but why bill deblass j blasio s like he breathed in helium. squeaked by on that one.

1:51 am
joe biden is campaigning in new hampshire. it's a small but key state, as biden looks to cement his status as democratic front-runner. arlette saenz has more from the granite state. >> reporter: joe biden made a two-day swing to new hampshire. one thing biden has repeatedly focused on over the last week, is the notion of electability. in new hampshire, biden said, it's not just defeating president trump, but sparking a
1:52 am
movement. listen to what he says. >> we can't just be a campaign about beating president donald trump. he has the darkest forces that have run through this nation's history. a simple campaign is not enough to beat him. it has to be a movement. a movement grounded on the valleys and ideals that define us as a nation. >> reporter: biden was asked about concern from some voters ant his age. he said in the past his age is a legitimate issue. and listen to what he said on saturday. >> mr. vice president, every voter i talk to that comes to your events is concerned about your age. what do you say? >> i say if it's a concern, don't vote for me. >> they ask if you have lost a step. >> what do you think? >> it's not my view.
1:53 am
>> reporter: after this, biden is handing to carolina next week. democrats hoping to secure the presidential nomination of their party won't be able to debate on a single issue. the party's committee won't do single-issue debates including on climate change. bill de blasio is hoping for a shot at the nomination, as well. like all dedicated candidates he never misses an opportunity to address his voters. when he appear by video to a group in iowa, it didn't go as planned. ♪ we're the chipmunks >> reporter: and what the do they have in common with bill e

1:55 am
ended his presentation. the emcee responded -- >> okay. that was a little bit different. >> reporter: there were other issues. joe biden's mic was turned off at one point. and the emcee had to blow and tap, tap and blow. organizers apologized and gave de blasio a second chance to speak. de blasio later joked, a canceled flight can't stop me from auditioning for alvin and the chipmunks. oh, we're talking about it. >> my message comes down to three words, working people first. >> reporter: correction, working audio first, or your campaign will be headed -- >> to munchkinland. >> reporter: jeanne moos, cnn, new york. finally this hour, do you remember that classic movie "the
1:56 am
wizard of oz"? august 25th, marks the 80th anniversary of its release. and google is celebrating a magical way. if you search for "the wizard of oz," the results will look normal. but click on dorothy's slippers and it spins you back in time. a quick flick of the tornado icah icon takes you back to the present. thank you so much for being with us for cnn newsroom. i'm george howell at the cnn center in atlanta. the news continues after the break. stay with us.
