talks are off. the u.s. president cancels a secret meeting with the taliban on u.s. soil. we'll have details on that for you ahead. plus, a big blow to the british prime minister. an important ally amber rudd quits the uk cabinet, saying she can't support boris johnson's political vandalism. >> also this hour, so many are facing loss after devastation from hurricane dorian. but some families are fortunate to celebrate reunions.

we'll hear from some of those survivors. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm george howell. cnn "newsroom" starts now. 5:01 on the u.s. east coast. good to have you with us this day. we start with the devastation in the bahamas. officials are ramping up recovery efforts in the aftermath of the deadly hurricane dorian. on the ground the destruction is you could say just overwhelming. homes have been destroyed. entire streets are gone. debris is everywhere. 43 people have died. that number is expected to rise dramatically. and in one of the hardest hit areas, crews set up a makeshift mortuary. a cnn team saw at least two bodies in that area. morticians say they are trying

to recover more. thousands of people who lost everything are trying to escape, scrambling to do whatever they can. paula newton is in one hard-hit area, abaco islands there, which is doing its best to recover. >> reporter: this is an area of marsh harbour that we have spoken about many times. that's because, as you can see, it took the brunt of hurricane dori dorian. you can only imagine the terror of people who were living here. they don't have an estimate as to how many people were here or how many people managed to get out alive. but look at this. family belongings strewn everywhere. it is impossible to make out where the homes were and where they stood. the issue is that they do not know if victims are still buried somewhere under all of this debris. we spoke with morticians who have been hired by the bahamian deposit to come here. also a k-9 team from the

government looking for bodies. they told me this is a difficult job and that it will be very, very tough to search this entire area thoroughly. and that will still take a i few more days. that might be another reason why we don't yet have an official death toll. the deposit admits, look, the death toll will rise and rise sharply. we just don't have an estimate yet. a lot of them were haitian migrants. those who did make it out alive are afraid to go to nassau. some are here illegally, and they are afraid of being deport back to haiti. the government says they should not fear that. but of course getting information out has been very difficult. it will take a very long time to even clear this area so it even safe to walk through more. the challenge ahead and being

very blunt about what it will take to even find the victims and then identify them. paula newton, cnn, in marsh harbour, abaco islands. paula, thank you. the united states said it evacuated 1,400 people from the bahamas so far. a cruise ship took them to a port in florida saturday. the passengers included more than 500 americans and 800 bahamians. one woman told cnn she's worried because she can't reach her sister. >> i've been calling the phone but i am not getting any answer. i am really worried about her. i need to get her over here or on the island of bimini. i desperately need to hear if she is okay. and i need to get her out of there because she had a stroke two years ago and she cannot do anything for herself. >> all right. if anyone knows anything about that of course do reach out of

course. cnn's rosa flores was at the port when the ship arrived and has this for you. >> reporter: the port of palm beach turned into a reunification saturday as evacuees reunited with family and the friends. they embraced, they hugged. they shed tears here where i'm standing as the evacuees disembarked from this humanitarian ship. we asked many of them if they would like to share their stories. most of them said no. but they really didn't have to tell us their story. we could tell and we could feel the pain just by looking into their bloodshot eyes. some people did share their stories like pat aller, who strikes the horrors of the hurricane. she said she lived there alone and at the height of the storm she had to use the walls to get

around because it was so dark. and then there is mrs. seymour. she and her husband to to use ropes, nails and hangers they had around the house to cinch down their roof to make sure it didn't fly away. >> it was very intense. you couldn't sleep. i prayed a lot. and i started to calm the storm. you can see the outside, your roof is just lifting and lifting. it was really, really dramatic. and i don't want to go through that ever again. ceva seymour and others i talked to today said their hearts and minds of the people that were left behind. one woman here was looking for her sister and has not heard from her since monday. so as the search and rescue efforts continue in the bahamas, so does the pain of the people

who not only are still there but made it to dry ground. rosa flores, cnn, palm beach county, florida. still packing winds of 100 miles or 155 kilometers per hour, dorian slammed into eastern canada saturday. you see it in full bloom there on the radar. half a million customers in the canadian maritimes are without power. 150 residents in nova skoerb that h nova coach that had to be taken to shelters. this construction crane toppled by dorian. the united states marks 18 years since those terrible 9/11 attacks this week 37 and peace talks with the taliban have hit another roadblock. u.s. president donald trump said he is scrapping a secret meeting with the taliban leaders at camp david. it's a response to a bombing in

kabul, that bombing that killed a u.s. soldier on thursday. the taliban claimed responsibility for the attack. that's despite peace negotiations and signs the u.s. was ready to withdraw some troops. mr. trump says that he was also meeting separately with the afghan president ghani, a source says he wanted to set up a meeting with ghani and another founding taliban member. a terrorism expert at the asia-pacific joining us live from london. good to have you with us. >> good to be with you, george. >> so, look, there's walt to unpack here. in mentioned the optics around 9/11. i mentioned the optics around 9/11, inviting a senior member to the taliban during such a sensitive week. we can talk about the optics in a moment.

the me here. >> well, the president may have felt that and that could have been based on basis with his consultant to the taliban. khalilzad had been negotiating for months. but no one else felt a viable deal was actually possible. they have been skeptical. they had been kept out of the talks. the president trump's own military advisers were also saying that this is perhaps too premature, too much ground is being conceded to the taliban. and senator lindsey graham, a close adviser to president trump, has been quite vocal about his concerns about this potential deal. because the taliban were not conceding on any ground. and it was very worrying they potentially were going to maintain their ties with terrorist groups like al qaeda, and that was also sending out alarm bells across the world. >> you pointed out the taliban not giving any ground here. it is important to underscore

the taliban and afghan government are still not willing to meet face-to-face. they won't meet and talk. so what would talks like this accomplish? >> well, the afghan government has been willing to talk to the taliban. it is the taliban themselves who refused to negotiate with the kabul government. therein lies the problem. the taliban has not changed since 9/11. they remain ardent in their ideological beliefs. this is still a group that believes women are inferior, that they should only be confined to the homes. this is a group that has been openly active in cultivating poppies for opium production. so they are involved in narcotics. and they retain very strong ties with terrorist groups. and the other important thing, george, is the taliban is not a single monolithic group. there are various taliban factions. the trump administration was negotiating with a faction that is controlled by the pakistani military. and they are also the weakest

taliban faction. they don't speak to the other ones. if they were willing to negotiate, the other factions certainly weren't. >> by speaking with the taliban, politically speaking here, the u.s. president inviting them to the united states, does it risk relegitimizing that group? as we have seen the president do before, reach out to the north korean leader, essentially bringing the taliban into the fold? >> it's one thing negotiating with president kim jong-un of north korea. he's a head of state. >> not president kim jong-un but certainly the dictator kim jong-un. >> well, right. he is the official representative of north korea. whereas the taliban have no official recognition in afghanistan. they are not represented by anybody inside afghanistan itself.

and what is so disturbing about this is the fact that the taliban harbored al qaeda. they refused to give up osama bin laden after 9/11, which removed the taliban with operation enduring freedom, which removed the taliban from power. and to this day they retain the ties with al qaeda. and to bring them to camp david, to give them legitimacy has rightly shocked people across the u.s., not just the democrats but republicans too. just a few days before 9/11, it sends out a bad message. it is important to find out who in the trump administration pushed for this invitation to camp david. because they obviously had no sensitivities to what transpired on september 11, 2001. no one with better expert analysis. thank you for your time. we'll keep in touch with you. >> still ahead, a new urgency at the white house. the u.s. president may be talking up the economy.

but we'll tell you what sources are saying in private. that story ahead for you. plus the 2020 candidates are pounding the political pavement in the state of new hampshire this weekend. we'll explain why they're there as cnn "newsroom" continues worldwide. thanks, captain obvious. don't hate-like their trip, book yours with hotels.com and get rewarded basically everywhere. hotels.com. be there. do that. get rewarded. here's another cleaning tip from mr. clean. cleaning tough bathroom and kitchen messes with sprays and wipes can be a struggle.

presidential candidate since bill clinton in the '90s has used, it's the economy, stupid. well, that phrase is still big news if you want to call the white house home. the u.s. president donald trump gets that. but even as he continues to publicly tout the strength of the u.s. economy, sources tell cnn he is privately concerned about his strongest political asset. our sarah westwood has this report from the white house. >> reporter: president trump has been pushing aides to come up with plans to mitigate the effects of a potential economic downturn. amid his own private concerns about economic growth. plans have included new tax cuts, indexing capital gains, and renewed push on capitol hill to pass his renegotiated version of nafta, usmca which stalled in the house for months. the president and his advisers know that trump's fate is tied closely to that of the economy. they know it's his number one selling point heading into 2020. president trump this weekend is

continue to go project confidence about the economy after a jobs report on friday that fell a little short of expectations. and trump is showing no signs of slowing down on one thing that economists agree is causing a lot of uncertainty in the u.s. economy and in the markets. that's the president's trade war with china. this week he said that he believes his trade negotiations with china are just simply the right thing to do, showing no signs of taking his foot off the gas pedal. take a listen. . >> i wanted to do nothing with stock, our stock market would be 10,000 points higher than it is right now. but somebody had to do 24. to me this is much more important than the economy. somebody had to do this. we had to do it with china. had to be done. >> reporter: now, white house aides who impose the tariffs, they are gone from the president's team. and sources tell cnn that the president has even raised the prospect of imposing even more tariffs on china to try to force its hand and get a deal that for

now seems out of grasp. sarah westwood, cnn, the white house. >> let's put all of this into focus with amy pope at chatham house, a think tank in the uk joining us live in our london bureau. good to have you with us. >> good morning. >> the u.s. president continues to sigh the economy is strong. this is important to donald trump, despite indicators we have seen in recent months, well, a hint of trouble that could be coming. he also continues to press ahead with the trade war with china. does holding the line here help him come 2020 or put the economy in jeopardy effectively putting his candidacy in jeopardy? >> well, he's really put himself into a bad place. he has backed himself into a corner. and he basically has to choose now between appearing to be weak in terms of negotiating with china, or protecting the american economy. it doesn't look like he can have it both ways. as we all know, when it comes to an election, the incumbent is

most like there i to win if the economy is strong. now the signs are suggesting that the economy is slowing. but the bottom line is consumers aren't feeling it yet. i think that will be a key issue. if at christmastime it is more expensive to buy presents, he will have to seriously reconsider his approach. >> there is an election around the corner. he will need the economy to be in good shape. the president of china, however, doesn't have the same pressures. in fact, after that nation removed term limits, president xi can remain president for life. so who has the leverage? does china play the long game and wait him out? >> i think that's right. china showed consistently plays the long game. this president does not do that. that's what is most dangerous about the position we're in. it's not clear that his advisers are of one mind. we hear the president flipping

back and forth regularly. is there a trade war, isn't there a trade war, are they going to come to a deal. all of that is very difficult for the markets, very difficult for business. it's putting the american economy in a very precarious position. and the question is, how long can he do that? china obviously doesn't have the same pressures. and that means that the u.s. is operating from a weaker point of view. so that should signal an alarm for all americans. >> president trump is leaning in on this considering whether to have more tariffs on china. so given the signs that we are seeing, reading the tea leaves, it's hard to see any positive signs that a deal might be in sight. >> i'm not seeing any. at the same time, we're seeing the president start to deflect blame as he often does. he is tweeting about the fed chairman. he is suggesting that's where the problem is really. and, you know, this is sort of typical of the president. rather than taking responsibility for what he can

do, rather than having a strategy, rather than moving forward with solid voice, he shoots from the hip and he tweets and he hopes that it all sort of lands in his the right way. when it doesn't, he deflects plame. this is not a good position to be in, china is playing a more longer, strategic game here. >> as democrats look at what is happening here given the trade war, do you see if a democratic candidate gets the oval office, a change in position here? or do they continue pushing the trade war that the u.s. president has engaged in? >> i think the democrats need to be careful here. there's no question that china was not playing by the rules. and there's no question that we need to keep our eye on china and hold them to account. but the answer can't be just that you tweet and you fought back and forth, right? so there needs to be a considered strategic analysis of what will work and not work. and that's what's missing. it's not that china is not a

problem. it is a problem. it's a serious issue for both american national security and for the economy. but that's what it takes considered and thoughtful analysis, not just moving forward without a real plan. >> amy pope with perspective, appreciate you for your time in our london bureau. thank you, amy. >> pleasure. thank you. >> five months from now, the state of new hampshire will hold the first democratic primary ahead of the 2020 election. that primary not only gives the winner bragging rights but serves as a huge springboard to the primaries that will follow. that is why 19 u.s. democratic presidential candidates are in new hampshire this weekend. they're speaking to the state's party convention. it is critical for the presidential hopefuls to win supporters there now. our abby phillip is following the highs and the lows there. >> reporter: here in new hampshire, nearly all the democratic candidates appeared to the stage behind me making

their case to the democratic party's most faithful, thatter they are the ones most equipped to take on donald trump. unexpectedly, a drama unfolded here as tim ryan, the congressman from ohio, had to defend his comments about former vice president joe biden. ryan told bloomberg reporter he believed biden was declining and did not have the energy to take on donald trump when asked about this by reporters, ryan doubled down. >> well, i made the statement. there was a comment that i made. and, you know, i'm not backtracking from it. it is a concern we're hearing from a lot of people in the country. i'm just saying that there's -- it's unclear sometimes when he is articulating positions. there's a lack of clarity. and i will leave it at that. . >> he is not the only democratic candidate trying to capture the attention of these all-important new hampshire voters. certainly other candidates are

in the single digits, trying to break into the top tier. they were testing out new lines, testing the power of their message and showing off their organization, their ability to get volunteers fired up and in these seats here in the stadium. all of this is leading up to this next democratic debate this week in houston, texas, where 10 of the candidates are all going to be on the same stage trying to make the case that they are the ones who can beat donald trump. abby phillip, cnn, manchester, new hampshire. abby, thank you. from politics now to if you follow tennis, this was a stunning upset at the u.s. open women's final. 19-year-old bianca andreescu defeated serena williams. the young canadian captured her first grand slam trophy in straight sets and denying serena williams a 24th title. the first canadian to win a grand slam title.

>> this isn't the only time i visualized playing in the finals actually against serena williams. it's so crazy, man. i've been -- sorry. i've been dreaming of this moment for the longest time. >> this was actually a rematch. andreescu defeated williams last month when williams withdrew with an injury from their finals match. still ahead here on cnn "newsroom", a prominent member of his cabinet has quit and she is not mincing words with her disgust. a live report from the united kingdom, london, up next for you.

thursday. one u.s. soldier and several other people were killed there. the aftermath of hurricane dori dorian, not a hurricane any more, but half a million customers in the canadian maritimes are without power after dorian slammed into nova scotia saturday. it is tracking winds of 155 kilometers an hour, 100 miles per hour. 150 residents in nova scotia had to be evacuated to shelters. >> a powerful typhoon is taking aim at eastern japan. it is headed toward tokyo right now with winds equal to a category 3 hurricane. heavy winds and rain could cause flooding and storm surge in that area. we will continue to follow it for you. and in hong kong, thousands of protesters are marching to the city's ugs consulate. some are holding american flags and asking the u.s. government to, quote, liberate them from beijing. this the 14th straight weekend of protests.

now to the united kingdom and british prime minister boris johnson facing a tough week ahead after another brexit blow to his government. one of the more high-profile secretaries in the british government, amber rudd who you see here, abruptly resigned from the cabinet on saturday. she said she no longer believed he was committed to a brexit agreement with the eu and she was angry he purged 21 members of parliament from the conservative party when they voted against a no-deal brexit. >> no, i'm actually not leaving the conservative party. i am surrendering the whip alongside my colleagues, the 21 others, in order to stand with them. i don't think -- i know i couldn't carry on in the conservative party at such a high level and see 21 of my colleagues who are good, moderate people who also want to deal, excluded from it. i needed to move and stand by them. >> cnn's salma abdelaziz.

it may be forced by law to do something he has sworn to death he won't do, to carry out brexit at any cost including a no-deal brexit. that may be a no go for bojo. walk us through if you could. >> reporter: that's right, george. absolute terrible first week in parliament for the prime minister. he lost a series of votes. he lost his bid to call for snap elections that he was desperate to have happen. he lost his majority when an mp defected. his own brother resigned saying he was torn between family interests and national loyalty. and the nail in the coffin was this law that's set to go into effect on monday. it would legally require him to get a new deal by october 19th. and if not, he has to go back to the eu and ask for a three-month extension. if the eu agrees, that would put the new brexit deadline of january of next year.

now, boris johnson said he will absolutely not do this. he said he would rather die in a ditch than ask for an extension. but the reality is there are very few options for him at this time. he can't -- he can try to resign, but that is something he said he's not willing to do. he could go for something called the nuclear option, to call a no confidence motion on his own government in the hopes that that would trigger an election. but that's also a very, very risky move. or he could, as he has indicated, possibly violate the law, refuse to abide by the legislation and not ask for that extension. but if he does that, then the prime minister could be in court, george. >> and what would that mean? if the prime minister is in court, if effectively he decides to break the law, again, to your point, he said he would rather be dead in a ditch. that's his quote, than to ask for another delay.

>> reporter: well, this is what has the entire country really holding its breath until tomorrow when parliament of course convenes and that law is set to go into effect. but the question is now what is prime minister johnson's strategy? over these past few weeks, the main staking point has been prime minister boris johnson sees the strategy with the eu as no deal has to be on the table. he has to run down the clock, otherwise he won't get negotiations, won't get a new agreement. parliament clearly disagreed with that. they said no deal is simply not a risk we are willing to take. that is now legally something he cannot do. what are his other options? they are limited by the fact that he has called for parliament to be suspended for five weeks. that's supposed to take place next week. so he has a matter of just a few days to try to pursue a general election, something that will be turned down monday. maybe find a legal loophole. it would still require a

majority in parliament or to break the law. >> it is something to see the mother of parliaments, and all of this play out. i imagine frustrating for people there. we will keep an eye on you, your reporting and our teams in london as we see how the brexit ball bounces this week. salma, thank you. the biggest issue is the border between the northern ireland and republic of ireland. right now dairy farmers ship milk across the borders without any problem. but the farmers are concerned that a no-deal brexit will ruin them. our international diplomatic reporter nic robertson explains. >> reporter: from sea over mountains, more than 300 miles along rivers splicing through towns. the border between northern ireland and its southern neighbor, repuck lick of ireland, cuts with precision in

a drunk sense of direction. it is an historic scar, and more recently a similar poll of peace. it is fast becoming the badlands of brexit where real lives are colliding with better eu/uk negotiations. and one of northern ireland's biggest industries, agriculture, collateral damage. >> it is uncertain what is going to happen. >> reporter: andrew little is 26. milked his first cow when he was 10. inherited the tiny form gnat far from the border from his father. has grown it to 100 cows, scrapes a living selling milk south of the border. a no-deal brexit and the crossborder tariffs that would follow, would crush him. . >> i couldn't sustain us. >> you would be out of business? >> oh, no problem. >> you would have to shut down the business?

>> and everybody will be in the same boat. >> right now the border between the northern ireland and republic of ireland is invisible. no customs, no patrols. the road is wide open. little more for most people than a line on the map. you after brexit, all that could change, meaning the simple act of passing freshly produced cow's milk from one hand to the other, over the border, could become a whole lot more complicated. but even before brexit happens, it's having an insiduous impact. prices are down 15% lower than last year. much of that over brexit uncertainty, according to the market's owner. >> don't know when it's going to happen, if it's going to happen.

and if it does happen, you don't know what the effect is going to be. >> if prices did more, some here could go under before brexit even happens. >> prices are down, we go out of business. simple as that. >> each day erodes the economy. from here the fix seems so near. >> what we need, free movement between the north and south. >> reporter: yet here at the border, the same fix seems so far away, 72 million vehicles cross each year. and as yet london and brussels can't agree on how to handle even one of them. nic robertson, cnn, on the border of northern ireland and the republic of ireland. nic, thank you. still ahead, a warning from officials to e-cigarette users. vaping may be hazardous to your

federal health officials in the united states are raising new concerns over vaping. they say 450 possible cases of severe lung disease and five deaths might be used to electronic smoking devices. health officials are zeroing in on a chemical that could be making those who vape very sick. chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta has this for you. >> these numbers are hard to

believe. they keep going up. the number of people hospitalized in a number of states. it is interesting when you talk about the typical patient oftentimes they are young, healthy but sick. gi symptoms, fever, headache, weight loss. so many people getting hospitalized because of this. it is an ongoing medical investigation. at first you had all of these people getting ill. what do they have in common? they all seem to have vaped. now within the vape, what is it about the vaping? is it something in particular that can be causing a problem. the state of new york, they have been zeroing in on vitamin e aceta acetate. vitamin e. you can take it by mouth as a supplement. people often rub it on their skin. usually fine. if you vaporize it, absorb it into your lungs and they

recongeal back into some sort of oil, could that be causing the problem? they don't know for sure. but that's what the investigators are starting to focus on. so far the vitamin e substance has been found only in thc or cannabis-containing vapes, not nicotine. therein lies another include. the cdc, centers for disease control, had this to say as well, until a definitive cause is known, people should consider not using ecigarettes. it's a pretty extraordinary statement to say, hey, look, we don't know for sure what's going on. people are getting sick. it is likely associated with the vaping. for the time being, maybe it's best to simply not use these devices. as we get more information, we'll certainly bring it to you. gennett works in family emergency medicine. good to have you. >> good morning.

thank you for having me. >> let's start about what our own j. sanjay gupta explained how vitamin e is a concern to vaping. people think often it is good for you. sit a different case here, right? >> sure. so, you know, we can put it on our skin. it's found in moisturizers. you can even ingest it. swallow it into the stomach as a supplement. but it is different when we inhale it. that could potentially be causing damage on our lungs. we can drink water. we can swing in water. if you inhale water, you can drown. it is harmful to your lungs. you can go into respiratory distress. that's one of the chemicals found to possibly be linked to the severe respiratory distress we are seeing in these very, very young people. i kphebd the governor of michigan for banning chemical

flavoring. this has been found and linked to cause severe lung damage. >> the effects on teenagers are different than the effects on adults, right? >> correct. absolutely correct. the lungs and the brain and the organs of children and teenagers are still forming, still developing up until age 20, 21. what's happening, for example, vanilla flavoring, cinnamon flavoring, some of the worst flavors because of the harsh chemicals used to create the artificial flavors they literally cause cell damage and cell death and kill bronchial cells. >> wow. >> that is potentially what is causing them to have cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, fatigue, sudden gasping of air. it is putting them in hospitals on ventilators in the icu. fortunately, many are surviving.

damaged several buildings in north korea. and there's another typhoon to tell you about, this one taking aim at eastern japan, headed right toward tokyo. ivan cabrera is here. >> george, they will usually sideswipe tokyo. but this will go over the bay. we have been covering twin typhoons, along with dorian. this was over the weekend. ling ling west of korea, making landfall across north korea as a significant, equivalent category 2-3. by the way, i will put this in motion. it dissipates. but look here. this one does not. this one is going to be the story the next few days across japan and really worldwide. this is a significant event i think for what will be tokyo and areas surrounding it. so this is overnight was

130-mile-per-hour winds. that's a category 4 hurricane in the atlantic. down to 125. splitting hairs here. but it is down the a cat 3, if we can say down. there it is with a well-defined eye as it continues to make a beeline for tokyo. again, this is not next week. this is today, sunday night into monday for them here in tokyo. 12 hours, 105-mile-per-hour winds. and then it races onto the northeast rather quickly. before the next 12 to 18 hours, i think it will be quite something, an event here for tokyo. watch the storms it continues to move in the peninsula, go further either and right over tokyo. watch the winds here. generally 100 to 107 to 110-mile-per-hour wind gusts. that would be equivalent to 170 kilometers per hour. a huge deal here. you see the bays here. that is vulnerable for flooding. storm surge possible there as well. and of course torrential downpours as the rain will
