the u.s. president meets with his british counterpart. the two talk opportunities of a big trade deal after brexit. we have a live report from the g7 in southern france. protesters are out on the streets in hong kong. a 12th-straight week of demonstrations. also ahead this hour, lightning strikes on a tree at the pga tournament injuring several people. we'll hear from one of the victims. we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. 5:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. and we start with the g7 in southern france. the u.s. president donald trump

made with his counterpart, boris johnson. mr. trump praised him as the right man to help the u.k. exit the e.u. by tend of october. the president predicted that the two would work out a trade deal when brexit is complete. and boris johnson heard the american leader say this about him. >> do you have any advice from boris johnson on brexit? >> he needs no advice. he's the right man of the job. didn't make your predecessor happy but he's the right man for the job. >> your on-message there. i'm very grateful. i know there will be some tough talks ahead. there's a huge opportunity for the u.k. to penetrate the american market. >> the g7 leaders have been holding official working sessions on several important

global issues. the u.s. president insisted on a special session to talk about the american economy specifically. the president denied that any of his peers are pressuring him to tone down his trade war with china, despite deepening concerns it could trigger a xwloe global recession. nic robertson is covering it all from france. we expect the president and shinzo abe to meet this hour. let's talk about the meeting between mr. trump and boris johnson. what was the nature of that discussion? >> it set the scene that boris johnson wants, that is a positive one, that he can get a good trade deal with a friendly partner in the white house. it's a message that he wants to

send to the european union, as well. that was what boris johnson wanted. he interjected a lot. you heard him just before, when president trump was praising him, thanking president trump. and saying that president trump was on message. it is a tight race for boris johnson. there is no doubt about it. if president trump is too effusive about him, that will count for boris johnson back home. and this particular president, it would not be looked upon favorably. but perhaps boris johnson may be overstepping the line in president trump's eyes. we have yet to find out about that. when president trump was asked that question, having not faced any criticism from any of the other leaders here, about his trade war with china. president trump's answer is here. and you hear boris johnson

saying, actually, there was. >> our country is doing really well. we have horrible trade deals. i'm straight thiening them out. the biggest one is china. >> i congratulate the president on everything the american economy is achieving. but in a sheep-like view on our trade war on the whole. >> we think that on the whole, where the u.k. has profited massively in the last 200 years from free trade. that's what we want to see. we're working to see that. >> reporter: caution from johnson, saying a sheep-like no note. this is a new relationship.

and president trump will be sitting down for a bilateral meeting with shinzo abe there. the u.s. wants more to the agriculture market in japan. and abe, from his point of view, doesn't want to see any increased tariffs on the japanese automotive industry from the united states. that will be a point of discussion for them. >> one thing that is the important, as the u.k. turns to the united states for trade, there are critics that say it leaves the u.k. beholden to the united states in that arrangement. >> it's not just on trade. boris johnson needs this good, strong relationship with president trump to be able to hold up the potential of a strong trade deal, domestically, politically, because he may have elections to the european union. it's a strong negotiating tactic for him. what is the price of that?

there is pressure, the u.s. national security adviser, john bolton, was pressuring britain to back the united states and its stance on iran. that would include potentially pulling out of the jcpoa, the nuclear deal that britain is still a part of, even though the united states has withdrawn from it. and pressure on britain, as well, not to buy from huawei. the prime minister indicated that britain was prepared to do that. early indications from johnson's government are, they will back the u.s., at least in the straits of hormuz near iran and is reconsidering itself position on huawei. it exposes britain to taking sides, in the emerging china versus u.s. economic cold war that's emerging in the world. >> nic robertson live for us. thank you. we'll keep in touch.

as with any meeting of world leaders, protesters turned out in force. look at the live pictures from near the g7 summit. protesters are demanding action, from globalization to the environment and economic policy. police have yet to release figures on how many protesters were arrested on sunday. cnn european affairs commentator dominick thomas is with us to put all of this in perspective. dominick joining from berlin. boris johnson, the new role he has, he got to speak with the u.s. president and his thoughts on the trade wars at odds with mr. trump's. but they seem to mange good at the table together. who has more leverage in this relationship? >> it's clear and unambiguous

that the united states, and donald trump, has more leverage, as the united kingdom extricates itself from the european union, if it does achieve brexit. it stands in a much weaker negotiating position on the global stage that we see this year. the obvious reference would be china. one can only imagine what wiit would be like when it deals with a smaller political power than in the united kingdom. we see leaders at the g7, on the global international stage, under scrutiny. each of these leaders is thinking about their constituencies back at home. and that's especially the case for boris johnson, new prime minister, with the general election coming at some point in the near future. and every gesture is

choreographed with that goal in mind. >> another thing that came out of this meeting with boris johnson. president trump backing off the threat on sundays, after insisting he can use his executive power to prevent american firms from doing business in china. trump saying, quote, i have no plan. we're getting along very well with china. we're talking. keep in mind, a tweet mr. trump labeled an enemy. what do you make of the 180? >> at the g7, he laz to play things differently. and the g7 configuration has changed and he has more sympathizers around the table, such as boris johnson, the japanese prime minister, and the italian prime minister.

they rurnd scrutiny, under the lens of the global audience. there's tremendous concern about the stability of the global economy at this point. this plays into the brexit issue. but it also plays into the absolute agenda that's been set by macron, which is to think about global inequality and the role and the responsibility of these economic leading nations to address some of these questions. and president macron has structured the g7 meeting around these particular issues. therefore, of course, trade wars, conflict and so on are tremendous concern to these leaders. >> the other question, whether words matter more or whether numbers and facts matter more. we know the u.s. president wanted more time to speak about the u.s. economy, how it's doing. the backdrop, of course, concerns and jitters about a possible global recession. the question here, as the president takes the world stage and talks about the american economy, does that make a difference here, as we're seeing these indicators that suggest

there could be trouble a-brewing. >> i think there is trouble a-brewing and the leaders are aware of that. from the german situation, where chancellor merkel is under scrutiny for this. emmanuel macron has come out of a complicated 18-month period, with all sorts of issues to do with inequality in society. these will shape the italian elections and so on. what we're used to seeing is a concerted discussion and consensus around the g7 leaders. and today, there are deep divisions with them, on everything from russia to iran to climate and so on. and so, the question of global security and global economic security is, of course, extremely important here. president trump has, in so many ways, disrupted this global order and particularly through his focus on prioritizing the interest of the united states and on bilateral deals, the kind

of deals that boris johnson talked about, rather than greater multilateral action and coordination. >> mr. trump indicated he would like to invite russia to next year's g7. keep in mind the possible arms race between these two nations. what's your read on mr. trump's approach to russia? >> this is a complicated one, and divisive one at the g7. yes, there is concerted work around iran, syria and so on and so forth. let's take the united kingdom position for boris johnson. we think back to the controversies in recent years, that the british public's perception of the russian federation and putin is negative. the european union has complex and relationship with russia. the question of ukraine and the reasons why russia has been suspended from what was the g8 remain important issues on the

agenda. the major question when it comes to europe, is that president trump, systemically through his attacks on nato and the european union, have been seeking to weaken that bond. and the european downon, the 27 of them, are united in seeing russia as a potential foe anded a adversary. a weaker europe is a benefit to his america-first agenda. this is something there is little consensus at the g7 when it comes to trump and the other members of this group. >> dominick thomas with perspective live for us in berl berlin. protesters back on the streets of hong kong, 24 hours after clashes broke out there. live at the scene ahead for you. and these pictures tell a

frightening story. huge areas of the amazon rain forest purn burning out of control. is that the whole story? we'll get the wider view from derek van dam. fe is... pretty comfortable. rick blomquist thought he had comfort all figured out. but then, he laid on a serta and realized his life was only just sorta comfortable. i've been living a lie.

liberty. and on the other side, supporters of the police. this comes one day after clashes between authorities and protesters. andrew stevens at the pro-democracy protest. kr kristie lu stout. >> a lot of people taking part in this. what's the scene now? >> we haven't seen estimates of the crowd here. but the team here is estimating in the tens of thousands. and the protesters have come to the end point, which is actually past the official end point, the area which the police have given approval for them to gather together. the protesters move to somewhere else, that makes this an illegal gathering now. they should not be where they are gathering.

this protest is taking on an ominous tone. the police sending out a note on facebook saying they will begin disbursal operations soon. not an exact time but soon. we're just outside, george. want to show you what's happening. the protesters are erecting what you can describe as flimsy barriers. they think the disbursal operations will start from this area. they're putting up small obstacles, to be honest. they have paving bricks on the ground here, stretching along here. a few bolts. things which the police regularly clear, within a minute or whatever. that's the frame that the protesters are preparing for police action. and they're saying they're going to stay here. as we said, we've seen tens of thousands of protesters coming

out. many, the majority of those, are families that have no interest in getting involved in confrontations with the police. what will happen over the next hour or so, is many of these will filter back home. they will have made their point, and have done their march and will appear. what is likely to happen, is we'll see the crowd splintering out. we are getting reports that one group of protesters is marching towards the local police station here. and that was, if you remember yesterday, the local police station in a different district of hong kong, that became the focal point for teargas disbersal operations by the police. protesters are heading toward the police stations here in what is likely to be another confrontation. you can't quite hear it. but i can hear the chants of the people inside the park area, where they're gathering. and you can see, there's plenty of umbrellas. there's people moving towards this area. as i say, it's becoming more ominous and the police are

saying that it is time to move or face consequences. >> andrew pointing out, it is becoming an illegal protest and illegal gathering. we'll come back to you, andrew. let's bring in kristie lu stout at a different protest. this is for families who are frustrated. and we recently heard from the chief executive, carrie lam, who said, people are tired at this point. >> yeah. including the people that took part in this rally. at its peak, 400 people took part. it was organized by the police force. they were not here. they did not march to defend police tactics. rather, after 12 weeks of protests and violent clashes, enough is enough. they were bearing banners and science, returning the police to the people. they want the hong kong police to represent the needs and the safety priorment requirements o

kong people. they wanted a political resolution for the ongoing crisis here. they have demands, among them, to set up an independent inquiry. and a political resolution to the crisis. they put those demands into the form of a petition letter and was delivered in person to two places. one, the hong kong police headquarters. a representative came out and received the letter, much to the applause of those taking part. and another one they sent to carrie lam. no representative was there to receive the letter, it was tossed across the security fence. >> kristie lu stout, thank you for the report. we'll continue to stay in touch with you both. the french president, emmanuel macron, who is hosting the g7 summit this year, says he wants the amazon rain forest, the fires there, on the agenda. keeping in mind, the fires are

burning in brazil at the worst levels since 2013. some of the countries attending the summit, support blocking a trade deal between the european union and brazil until the country takes action on it. >> bio diversity, habitat lost, the scenes we're seeing from the amazon, this is being repeated around the world, in a lot of species and habitats. we need to talk about that. we need to escalate at the g7, the tragedy of what humanity is inflicting on the natural world. >> brazil's president says he is sendsing in 43,000 troops to get the fires under control. he blames the fires on warm earp weather. he is calling for the amazon to beleading farmers to set fires to clear the land.

bolivia is using a plane to drop water on the fire there's. the government is trying to figure out how to help those affected by the fires. nick paton walsh has this report. >> 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 land, the deforested land for agriculture. many of the fires are started deliberately. the president has provided a climate where that's 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, where he addressed 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. but it is a mammoth job here. there's no doubt of the signs 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 are hoping for heavy rains during the week. they may get lighter ones starting tuesday.

will that curb the effort or curb the spread of the fire? unclear. and the broader question, too, now, internationally, 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. nick paton walsh, cnn, brazil. >> nick, thank you very much. now, to tell you about a tropical storm that's formed in the atlantic, has puerto rico in its forecast path. our meteorologist derek van dam is here. >> right. all eyes are on that area. in the more near-term, we have barbados that's been issued a tropical storm watch ahead of dorian, the new tropical storm. that's the name and the path has puerto rico in its five-day

forecast track. we'll get you the details in a moment. what started as a quiet atlantic hurricane season has gifted gears. we're ramping things up dramatically with several areas of interest to talk about, and the future prospects of more african waves that could potentially cause some trouble in the medium to long term. you can see, this is the trend, as we go to the peak of hurricane season, which is around september 13th. we talk about a disturbance off of the florida coast. that has an 80% chance of development over the next five days. that will be fish food. it's likely to kick off high surf in the carolinas. but tropical storm dorian, east of the leadward islands. barbados has a tropical storm watch. 40 miles per hour sustained

winds. you can see thing ativety and the problem associated with the storm. it will strengthen the last two days. it makes landfall along the leeward islands. and the potential for this to intensify to a low-end category 1 hurricane. we're going to monitor this closely. you can see puerto rico within that path of uncertainty. the cone of uncertainty. there's a lot of obstacles to get over, dry air, that could cause a storm to weaken. we have to monitor it. whether it goes from there, maybe the gulf of mexico and maybe it intensifies and hab it brings us a troublemaker as we head into the second half of next week. >> thank you. still ahead here on "newsroom," israel says it's attacking iran-linked targets inside syria. the prime minister is hinting about possible afacts in iraq. we have a live report of all

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. you're watching cnn newsroom, drive from atlanta. i'm george howell with the headlines we're following for you this hour. the u.s. president says he and his british counterpart got a chance to chat. and he is the right man to lead the u.k. out of the europe onunion. the president predicted a trade deal between the u.s. and u.k. could happen soon after brexit is complete. following events in hong

kong where pro-democracy activists and relatives of police held separate rallies. it comes one dayauthority ended a week of calm. this is the 12th week of demonstrations. the president of brazil says he's sending in military personnel to fight those fires burning in the amazon. the fires are at their worst level since 2013. the president's critic say he is easing environmental rules. and that's part of the reason that it's happening. israel has launched more air strikes in syria, against what it says are iranian and shia militia. they averted a, quote, large-scale attack of killer drones. syria state media says the air defenses repelled a rocket attack. there's reports of possible israeli activity in lebanon. lebanese state media says an

enemy drone crashed hours ago in the southern beirut suburbs. cnn's sam kiley is following all of this. sam, what more can you tell us? >> well, george, just on that attack in -- alleged attack in beirut, israel, the israeli foreign minister saying there's no connection between what may have happened there and the attack that happened overnight inside syria, which the israelis are anxious to claim responsibility for. in beirut, they -- hezbollah has alleged that two israeli drones came down in the southern suburbs in the area controlled by hezbollah. one doing some damage, quite close to hezbollah's media offices. but there's been no comment at all from the israelis on that. overnight, they say they most certainly did attack iranian targets and targets of an

iranian-backed militia, according to defense forces were right on the brink of launching what they call severe attacks on northern israel, using what the israelis call killer drones, drones that play themselves are are flown on to target by pilots on the ground elsewhere. they're saying this was a variant of a drone that's never yet been used against israel. there have been attempted drone attacks, one in the past. it was flying south over the river jordan. in this case, the israelis, very, very quick, indeed, to acknowledge they carried out the operation. benjamin netanyahu, quoting hebrew scriptures, saying if the man rises to tell you, kill him first. and repeating the hint that israel is prepared to attack

iranian forces anywhere in the world, if they letten israel. that's a repeat there's been at least three that have not not acknowledged by any third state. the allegation coming out of iraq, it was israel targeting iran inside iraq. this occasion in syria, it was the first time israelis have come out so quick and a long time to acknowledge. and they attacked iranian targets, george. >> sam, we'll keep in touch. the russian navy is flexing its military muscle and wants the world to know about it. officials say two submarines test-fired ballistic missiles 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. we're taking live images right now of the president and shinzo abe here. as they start speaking, we'll listen in. but the two leaders will be discussing a range of issue. defense against north korea. japan relies on the united states for that. let's see if the leaders are answering questions. >> -- a relationship of trust more so than ever, and can be stated how the japanese/u.s. relations are in general.

>> i am ready to work with donald. as to bring this year's g7 summit to a successful conclusion. >> translator: on this occasion, i look forward to discussing with you, specific ways to deepen our alliance between the two countries and the regional situations, including north korea, and iran.

we look forward to discussing bilateral trade and i hope to have a very productive discussion with you. >> thank you. great golfer, who we had a lot of fun. and shinzo is a good golfer. we have a lot of fun playing golf together. we played with ernie els here. sl shinzo reciprocated with mats matsuyama. he is a great young man. he's a great golfer. and congratulate him for me. okay. >> mr. president, do you have a trade deal with japan? >> we're working on one and we're close. can you give us a status report?

>> hopefully as a result of this meeting, we'll come to an agreement. >> it's a major deal with japan. if it gets done, we'll know by the end of this meeting. >> mr. president, did you sign off on a statement to iran, a message to iran, that president macron says he's going to deliver on behalf of all of the g7 countries? >> i haven't discussed it. >> do you support president macron's outrage to iranian authorities? >> i also support president abe because he is speaking to iran and they have a good relationship. iran is not the same country as it was 2 1/2 years ago. we will begin our outreach.

>> will you tell me what you spoke about at dinner? >> you can tell me. there's a lot of inaccurate reporting. we had a good dinner last night. i had a fantastic lunch, with the president of france yesterday. the best -- i told them, an hour and a half. many of you thought -- i think it was the best hour and a half i've ever spent with him. president macron. it was a perfect period of time. and i picked up stories like it was the opposite. it doesn't matter. it was false reporting. we had a very, very good lunch and dinner last night. everybody was at the dinner. we discussed iran and trade and china and many things. it was a very, very good day. >> do you feel other members of

the g7 would encourage russia to join like you are? >> we have a number of people that would like to see russia back. i think it would be advantageous to many things in the world. i think it will be a positive. it is something that we're discussing. i don't know if we can make a discussion one way or the another. but we had a discussion as to wlorpt we want to invite them back. i think it's sarongou ee's adva. other people agree with me and some people don't necessarily agree. >> how are you expecting to overcome the differences? >> can you say who agrees with you on inviting russia back? >> i could. but i don't think it's necessary. some people i was surprised. a couple of them. i didn't think we had a good

relationship. it was good enough to say, yes, we'd like to have them back. it's ongoing discussion. no decision. we didn't do a vote or anything. >> are you concerned about north korea conducting more tests? >> i'm not happy about it. we speak. i received a very nice letter from him last week. he was upset. >> we were just listening to the u.s. president donald trump speaking with reporters in his -- after his discussion with the japanese prime minister shinzo abe. the two decision cussed a range of issues and that a possible trade deal between the united states and japan could, quote, be very close. and could happen at this meeting. as the president might typically

say, a wait and see on that. let's bring in our international editor, nic robertson. nic is following this live for us. it was interesting to hear the u.s. president speaking a moment ago. the last thing he was talking about was russia, saying he would like to see russia return to the g7, when pressed by the reporter, which other leaders support you on that? the president wouldn't name names. also said, nic, maybe we leave it as it is. >> reporter: that was interesting. that was president trump seeming to express that the six plus one he is outnumber. we know the european council president said no. macron doesn't believe that russia should be allowed back in because of the inannexation of crimea. the president faces a broad

pushback. but that's typical of president trump to play down the differences and the problems he may face. he seemed to accept it that he's not going to get his way on russia, as well. and iran, as well. iran is an important issue for the french president. he wanted the support of president trump to try to get dialogue moving with the iran n iranians. the president saying there's discussion behein the scene about macron having a letter signed by everyone at the g7. the president said he's not signed the letter there. we're getting to hear some of the behind-the-scenes details. a lot more to learn. >> nick roobtson f robertson, f

witnessed or suspected epstein in any behavior. >> reporter: that's the first time we've heard from prince andrew on this matter. he has for the first time admitted to a friendship with jeffrey epstein. the big question remains, why was prince andrew still having a friendship with a convicted pedophile after his conviction in 2008? jeffrey epstein convicted for procuring an underaged girl for prostitution. he served 18 months for that criminal offense. there's been many reports here and video footage in the british press, showing him at the residence in 2010. they are looking for him to address and look for answers. this is the first time we heard from the prince. he admits to a mistake with regard to that. to clarify what you said
