the political backlash over the trump's administration's plan letting with the taliban at camp david. aid groups are getting a sense of the devastation across parts of the bahamas, as they work to help tens of thousands of people, left homeless by hurricane dorian. the ongoing efforts to rescue four crew members, from a capsized cargo ship off of the state of georgia. welcome to our viewers around the world. i'm george howell. >> i'm rosemary church. at cnn headquarters here in atlanta, "cnn newsroom" starts

right now. first, breaking news we're following. if you plan to fly british airways, check your flight status. >> the airline says it has canceled almost all of its flights, as pilots begin a 48-hour strike. b.a. says the biggest impact will be felt at the heathrow hub. the british pilots association is asking that more be shared with the pilots. you can stay with cnn with more on this. we'll keep you updated. afghan peace talks are on hold. but the u.s. and the taliban

indicate they are willing to keep working. mike pompeo says, the militant group will have to meet conditions before talks resume, including reducing violence and meeting with afghan leaders. >> this comes after a secret meeting the president said he was planning at camp david. boris sanchez reports the president was pushing hard to fill full a campaign promise. to finalize a deal that would end america's longest war, was made about a week ago. sources indicate that president trump had become frustrated that peace talks were not moving along faster. he was putting pressure on aides to withdraw troops from afghanistan, something he promised during the 2016 campaign. a promise he's intent on fulfilling, going into 2020. sources indicate that trump told

ai aides he would have a more positive talk himself. and speaking with him directly, that meeting scrapped following thursday's bombing in afghanistan. there's hope that a deal will get done. mike pam pe pompeo" was on "sta the union." here's what he said. >> we want to put pressure on all of the powers. isis in afghanistan, as well. president trump will always protect americans and the american interests. one of the days is do is to take down the violence levels in afghanist afghanistan. we have challenges not just in afghanistan. we need to make sure we have the right force postures, each and every place. >> reporter: we should point out there's some skeptics who do not

believe the taliban will hold up their end of the deal. adam kinzinger. the taliban leaders never asked the united states. in a statement, they said that ending the peace talks would only harm americans. >> boris, thank you. critics of a u.s./taliban peace deal, they say it would offer the taliban too many concessions, while giving the u.s. too little in return. >> cnn traveled to taliban-controlled territory and spent 30 hours with the militant group. and here's part of clarissa ward's report. >> reporter: we start out by

asking about the taliban's brutal tactics and the concern that they could offer safe haven to terrorists. are there efforts being made to stop killing civilians? >> translator: those responsible for civilian casualties came with the aircraft, artillery and weaponry. >> reporter: the taliban is responsible for thousands of civilian deaths in the last few years alone. what's going on with the suicide bombings at polling stations? >> translator: we deny this. this accusation is not acceptable to us. >> reporter: there's small signs that the taliban is moving with the times. >> translator: i listen to the

radio, and facebook and other media. >> reporter: you're on facebook? >> translator: yes. >> reporter: if somebody is found guilty of stealing, you cut off their hand? >> translator: yes, we implement the sheria. >> reporter: if someone is found guilty of adultery, you stone them to death. >> translator: yes. >> reporter: the military commander for the district arrives and a dispute breaks out about us. they should have brought a man, one of them says. >> reporter: the issue is right now, they don't want us to walk outside because i'm a woman. they think it's inappropriate. we agree to follow the men at a distance, something i've never had to do in my career.

do you want to see peace between the taliban and america? >> translator: it would be better if the question was put to the spokesperson of the united emirate. >> reporter: do you feel like the taliban is winning the war? >> translator: god willing, we are hopeful. we are supported by god. >> the taliban now control more territory than at any time since the u.s. invaded afghanistan almost 18 years ago. for more on the suspended talks, nathan hodge joins us from moscow. bring us up to date on this situation. >> for the past several months, president trump's special envoy to afghanistan has been conducting talks with the taliban representatives in qatar.

they had a question of what a broader peace deal would look like. this is a withdrawal agreement. and this would have been announced and would have been hashed out at camp david. so, certainly, there's been a lot of consternation in the afghan capital and the afghan government, about what this peace deal would actually mean. the afghan government was sidelined from the talks in doha. there's a lot of concern about what this will be moving forward. here's what saadiq sadiki, the spokesman of the president of afghanistan had to say.

>> we strongly believe in a process that can be led and owned by the afghan government and afghan people, and that will lead us to a dignified peace, a we would doubt the process but raise concerns about that process. like, the people have done that. >> so, rosemary this, is a violence that's been going on for four decades inside of afghanistan. and the peace talks between the representatives of the taliban and the u.s. government, are one part of carving out or finding a path forward to a broader peace settlement that could end the violence in afghanistan. but that, still, seems elusive, especially after president trump put the camp david talks on hold. many questions remain about what the path forward will be, in the

coming days and weeks. and whether or not those parties can return to the table. rosemary? >> nathan hodge, thanks for the details on that. appreciate it. turning to the bahamas now. the death toll continues to rise there. >> officials say 45 people are now dead. with hundreds still missing, they expect that number to rise dramatically. >> they are searching for survivors that may be trapped under debris. it is slow going, getting through so much devastation there. in the worst-hit areas, relief teams are delivering aid to about 70,000 people who are left homeless. >> i had a chance to tour the damage in abaco. what i was struck by, the focused nature of the devastation. there's parts of abaco and the bahamas that don't show a great

deal of damage. and there's clusters and communities that were devastated. that's how great the suffering and the devastation is. >> wow. >> and cnn's paula newton is in the bahamas. she has more on the relief effort. >> reporter: we knew the numbers would be staggering. 70,000 people homeless in the bahamas. that's a full quarter of the population. how do you deal with in? we're in nassau with a lot of the aid prepositioned. it's more than food and shelter. it could be people needing these things for months, perhaps years. some of the infrastructure has been taken to nothing. at issue is the death toll. the government has warned us it will rise dramatically. we've seen the temporary

morgues, and the search and recovery teams, that will have to look through areas through that devastation. loved ones saw their family members swept away, worry that their family members will never be found. there's the issue of identifying people. the bahamian government is blunt that this will take some time. paula newton, cnn. the u.s. coast guard is trying to rescue four south koreans on a cargo ship. the cargo ship caught fire off the coast of georgia on sunday. 20 other crew members, including other south korean and filipino nationals. >> this footage shows some of them being lifted to safety by a coast guard helicopter crew. here's more from the rescue effort. >> we're communicating via

personal radio. >> any injuries? >> the port authority just called. there's 22 souls on board. >> and 4,000 cars were packed inside that ship, bound for the u.s. state of maryland before it capsized. the vessel has not released pollutants so far. but crews are to respond if needed. the cause of this remains under investigation. with the deadline looming and no deal in the e.u. in sight, we'll see what's next. or and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half.

welcome back, everyone. boris johnson is leading with ireland's leader on monday. and they are set to discuss whether they can make a breakthrough on the irish backstop issue, that might form the basis of a brexit deal. >> and that's not all. britain's parliament is having a busy day on monday. the new law enacting a no-deal brexit is set to take effect. and the prime minister's team is trying to push through a vote on

a snap election. but his opponents have vowed to quash it. let's get the latest. anna stewart is live in london. the prime minister's own brother has resigned over this. amber ruud has resigned, as well. it looks to be a tough week ahead for boris johnson. >> reporter: amber rudd resigned. she had some strong comments. she said it was an assault on decency. another resignation and another defeat. the no-deal brexit, that becomes law. not a great day for the prime minister. he's in dublin, speaking with his counterpart today. the government is going to try to get a vote through. they need a two-thirds majority. it does not look like they can get it, george. >> all right. the other question here, as far

as labor is concerned, what is the outlook there? >> reporter: this is the question we want to know the answer to, is when will the general election be? there will be one. all sides owant one. but labor said they don't want to hold an election, before he's been forced to go to the e.u. and ask for that extension of brexit from the e.u. something the prime minister says he will not do, because he can be banned or find a workaround, perhaps. labor's take on it has been, they want a general election. but they want to see the prime minister, extension first. and then, agree to an election. that will be much nearer this brexit deadline, that could be avoided if they are successful with the blocking of the brexit. it might not be successful if boris johnson found a workaround, whatever that may be. >> anna, one other question. the british prime minister could consider the nuclear option,

calling a vote of no confidence in himself? >> yes. >> led's add to the confusion. parliament is sitting today. and it will get suspended between now and thursday. today is that vote on the snap election that needs a two-thirds majority. there's two other options if parliament is still sitting. one, a one-line bill from the government that will say, we'll have an election on a specific date. that would need a simple majori majority. or as you mentioned, a no-confidence motion on the government itself. it would have to say it has no confidence in itself. they would have to vote to say they do have confidence in the government. welcome to upside-down world. >> outside the u.k., it's interesting to watch the mother of all parliaments and the government head-to-head here. anna stewart for us. thank you. we go to japan.

and the cabinet there could be in for a shakeup. the foreign minister is poised to become the country's new defense minister. this could come at a time when tokyo finds itself at odds with south korea, over wartime issues impacting trade. it is also looking to strengthen its role when it comes to security issues, especially with north korea. and kristie lu stout joins us from hong kong with more. good to see you. what all did the foreign minister have to say about this and the significance of the timing? >> and the significance of the relationship between japan and south korea and how fraught it has become. these two allies in asia, locked in a trade and diplomatic dispute. it has been brewing since last october. that's when south korea's supreme court ruled that korean victims of forced labor could sue japanese companies.

japan decided to remove south korea from preferred trading partners. and in august, south korea withdrew from an intelligence sharing pact. >> i think it's for the people to exchange when the government is having problems. the visitors to japan, the number is going down. but we hope to keep this strong people-to-people exchange. >> it's difficult when you have points of tension, for example. you have organizers of japan's 2020 olympic games. saying they will not ban the rising sun flag. this is a flag that stirs up negative emotions among people in south korea. would you ask the olympic organizing committee to reconsider that?

>> no. >> it's the official flag for the maritime self-defense force. it's widely recognized. and many places, like the state of arizona, in the united states, or the country, like north macadonia use similar flags. there's people in south korea who try to make anti-japan sentiment. but the flag itself is a widely recognized flag. there's nothing wrong with it. >> do you think nationalism will get in the way of any solution here? >> the important thing is, there's a healthy nationalism. but there's those that want too exploit nationalism for other purpose. bilateral relationship between

japan and south korea is important. not just about the security or the business. so, i think it's our job as a politician to create a bridge between south korea and japan, even though if there is unhealthy nationalism. i think we need to overcome that. >> we know prime minister shinzo abe. he will soon reshuffle his cabinet and there's word that you may become the next defense minister. having you in a role, would it repair relations between japan and south korea? >> i have not heard about anything. i cannot answer that. the bilateral relationship has been high on my agenda. whatever i will be doing, i will

be working hard to create better relationship between japan and south korea. >> i asked the japanese foreign minister what that means for north korea. he said, when north korea test-fires a missile, something they've been doing a lot now, the intelligence can only be shared by the united states. he said they need to restore shared intelligence at agreement and act together. rosemary. >> how much appetite is there for dialogue on either side? >> there seemed to be an opening in august, a little over a month ago, when moon jae-in gave a speech. he offered a conciliatory tone, with openness to dialogue. he said, if japan would be in cooperation, we would join hands. i posed that to the japanese minister and he said, it's not about dialogue, but this verdict. the verdict made in october of last year.

it ruled that japanese companies that used koreans during world war ii, were obliged to pay composition. no dialogue until they handle that. rafael nadal is the u.s. open singles champion. he faced off in an epic five-out match. it was an emotional fight between the tennis stars, with nidal collapsing on the court. >> he is thrilled about that. the victory gives nadal his 19th grand slam title. he trails only roger federer's majors. for our international viewers, thank you for your company.

early monday, from the west coast to the east. you're watching "cnn newsroom." i'm george howell. >> i'm rosemary church. british airways has canceled almost all of its flights. b.a. says the biggest impact will be felt at its heathrow hub. but flights worldwide will be affected. the british pilots association is calling on the airline to share more of its profits with its pilots.

p.a. has countered that a pay increase that was offered was fair. we are following the devastation of the bahamas. we know the death toll has climbed. 45 people have lost their lives. that number could rise over the weeks and months to come. hundreds of people are still missing. 70,000 people in the hardest -ht areas are now homeless. rescue crews are searching for four south koreans onboard a cargo ship that overturned off the coast of georgia on sunday. 20 other crew members, including south koreans and philippifilip nationals have been rescued. the peace deal that fell apart. the u.s. secretary of state says the u.s. wants a peace deal with the taliban. but the talks won't move ahead until they reduce the violence. trump said he canceled a secret meeting at camp david in the u.s., after the militants took

credit for a bombing that killed a u.s. soldier. jessica levinson joins me, now, from los angeles. always great to have you with us. >> good to be with you. >> president trump just canceled a secret meeting at camp david with taliban leaders after they claim eed responsibility for a bombing that killed a u.s. soldier. many republicans are asking why taliban leaders were ever scheduled to meet on u.s. soil, just days before the 9/11 anniversary, especially when they reiterated their support for the 9/11 attack on this country. what was the president thinking? >> the president was thinking he is a master dealmaker. i think he was thinking he could draw down troops.

he could talk to the taliban and reduce their violent attacks that they ramped up recently. and he could announce, i made this huge deal on the world stage. now, of course, as he said in the trajection, the optics of this, we're coming up on the anniversary of 9/11. that you would invite members of the taliban that members of this administration have called the terrorist taliban to camp david, i think it's done something that president trump really hasn't been able to do for much of his presidency, which is unite both republicans and democrats in their criticism of this decision. >> it has many scratching their heads for sure. and, of course, with congress poised to reconvene after their august break, what progress, if

any, will likely be made on gun control legislation, particularly in the wake of multiple deadly mass shootings in this country? >> yeah, i mean, i think that the real answer is no progress. this time for the first time when i started my semester, we talked about the fact with my undergraduate students that people are advertising backpacks that are bullet-proof backpacks. we talk about what type of country we are living in now. and i think the response is that the people -- our behavior is changing. we're sending kindergartners coming home from school talking about shelter in place drills. we're sending middle schoolers who are talking about lockdown drills. and yet our representatives really -- i think it's almost guaranteed will not act on this issue. mitch mcconnell has been very clear that he will take president trump's lead on this issue.

i think president trump has shown absolutely no appetite, although he has waffled at times, but for tight gun control, i think this will continue to be an issue in the 2020 election, and i think it is one much those issues that could really motivate voters because it hits a lot of people where it matters. it hits them at home. it affects their daily lives. >> all this when the majority of americans want to see some sort of progress on gun control legislation. and also want to ask you this because with the house judiciary committee preparing to vote to define a trump impeachment inquiry, some democrats feel such a move will only embolden the president politically while liberal democrats say it has to be done, it has to be done now. where is this all going and where will it likely land, do you think? >> yeah, i think that both are true.

so i think that critics of president trump will say we absolutely need to go forward with impeachment. this is our job. this is our constitutional duty. robert mueller wrote us a, basically a letter saying, congress, i don't have a role here. i just have an investigatory role. it's up to you. i think that supporters of president trump will say, i cannot believe democrats can't just go to work for the american people. they keep beating this dead horse. and why are they such sore losers? where is it going? i think we really have to look to the leader of the house, nancy pelosi, very careful about wanting to start and initiate impeachment proceedings. she's going to have a's talk with the caucus to see who is vulnerable in 2020. i think this will largely not be a moral calculation, but it will be a political calculation to determine whether or not it is palpable to go forward. >> we'll see where that goes. i did want to quickly ask you, former south carolina governor mark sanford has announced he plans to challenge president trump for the republican nomination next year along with two other republicans. but given mr. trump enjoys,

what, about 90% approval rating within his own party, what's the point of doing this? and what impact might it have? >> i think the impact is very little. i feel like this has been the answer that i've had to all your questions, which is nothing is going to happen. i think it's largely true. mark sanford is not a strong candidate. he's not a strong candidate against this president who as you said enjoys large support in the republican party. this challenge is going nowhere. i think largely it is either just a vanity exercise or it's for people who want to set up a run for 2024. but if you look at the primary states, if you look at how energized the republican voters are, i don't think this is going anywhere. >> all right, jessica levinson, always a pleasure to chat with you. many thanks. >> thank you. one of the president's big campaign promises was to make mexico pay for a border wall along the southern u.s. border. >> we are going to build a great

border wall. and who's going to pay for the wall? who is going to pay for the wall? who? >> but despite that promise, he made so many times as a candidate, mexico still isn't paying for the wall. instead, the pentagon is diverting about $3.6 million in military construction funds to build that call. and it's sparking bipartisan anger from lawmakers and others. cnn's alex marquardt has more. >> reporter: the trump administrations have named four military projects here, who is almost $80 million in funding will be diverted to pay for the border wall. >> all of the projects are being

lost for a wall that makes no sense and everybody knows it. >> reporter: bobby scott has represented the district for almost three decades and says president trump's decision is costing his constituents jobs. >> it means that the jobs that could have come to the area would have come to the area. we're have economic impact that we're going to lose for a wall that is not needed. >> reporter: in all, $3.6 billion in military funds are being taken to help pay for the wall. 127 projects, at home and abroad, whose budgets are being gutted. in virginia, the four that are moving $77 million in funding are, a naval ship facility, two warehouse projects and a cyber operations facility. in a place with such a historic

and important military heritage, where 40% of the economy is tied to military funding, that hurts. >> our community is built on very wealthy population. there's a sense of disappointment. >> reporter: bruce retired last year, now, at langley air force base that's being stripped. at a time when cyber i tacks are one of the greatest threats to national security, along with others that will be ignored. >> i know firsthand having spoke to the commanders on the bases where this impact is going to happen, it will affect our mission. >> not just those priorities of the nation, but those serving

it. >> it's your husband, your wife, who is going on a deployment. and you don't want to think the ship was maintained properly. it hits home when everyone is so tied to the military. >> reporter: the pentagon is pushing back on the idea that the projects have been defunding. they will get their funding back at a later date. but this money had been appropriated by congress for these projects. now, to get the projects refunded, the money needs to be reapproved by congress, which is far from certain. alex marquardt, cnn, washington. still to come, a controversial layover by u.s. service members is raising ee i ethics questions. how the air force is responding after crew members booked to stay at a trump resort.

♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪

welcome back. the united states air force has ordered a review of its international travel accommodations after crew members were criticized for staying at a trump golf resort. this happened in scotland. >> and it happened during a refueling stop in march. the incident has raised ethics questions. but the air force says the stop was not unusual. nic robertson has more. >> reporter: one instance back in march earlier this year. the seven air crew were refueling in scotland on the way to the mission in kuwait, was not unusual. the service members were having their tickets booked through the defense department ticketing agency. there was nothing untoward. they were below the threshold of

the per diem levels. they were staying at a hotel approximate to the air force itself. further investigation has revealed that since president trump came to office, since october 2017, there's been a noticeable increase in the number of refueling stops at a relatively small airfield in scotland, one not doing well commercially. 629 refueling missions there since october 2017. not clear how large each air crew was on that mission. but taken in totality, that number could be in the thousands. $11 million spent on fuel at pr prestwick. that raises questions of appropriate spending across the

board, at the airfield or at the turnbury golf resort on the coast of scotland. benjamin netanyahu shares a particular disdain with the media. >> but he is now accusing journalists of trim. lauren lieberman explains. trump has made attacking the media a central theme of his candidacy. now, his friend, benjamin netanyahu, facing a tough re-election bid. he has gone to facebook lives to rail against what he calls a secret quartet of media owners,

set to tilt the upcoming election. >> translator: the media court-martials us. they lie and cheat. when we give our reaction, they say, this is terrible. this is awful. this is incitement. >> reporter: hezbollah militants fired missiles. netanyahu said it was the media planning a terror attack. >> you're carrying out a keterr attack. we know it's a bluff. >> reporter: netanyahu and his likud party declined to comment in cnn. >> to call a journalist a terrorist, that's the worst monitor you can attach to anyone.

to declare they are trying to undermine democracy is a new stage. >> reporter: he has a security team for his own safety. he says he has received threats. but netanyahu, in another echo of trump's language called them fake security guards. as netanyahu faces charges of bribery, he is accused the media of carrying out a witch hunt to unseat him. >> he truly believes he is being persecu persecuted, victimized, by a vast left wing cabal run by the media. and it's worrying if he is living in such a delusional state. >> reporter: he is also warning his base of election proud. he warns it's happening. netanyahu's rival, former chief

of staff, bennie gones is trying to lay the groundwork for an important process, he says. - in the last year, there were three victims

welcome back. we continue to cover the devastation in the bahamas. people will take all of the help they can get. there's so much work to be done there. >> there's been stories of survival and heroism. including this one, employees at an animal shelter who risked their oeb liwn lives to save hus of dogs and cats. >> reporter: this is the face of a lucky dog. one of the survivors of the hell unleashed by hurricane dorian as it battered the bahamas. >> about 300 animals are here at the moment. >> reporter: felisha is the shelter supervisor, who along with five leagcolleagues, tried keep save 300 dogs and cats. >> the government-run shelters will not allow pets. >> reporter: elizabeth barrows,

trusted this building. >> since we didn't flood in the other storms, we felt like we might get some water. but we had no idea we would get the flood that we did. >> but the water from the storm surged unexpectedly, threatening the lives of the animals. and despite the danger to themselves, the workers desperately tried to save the dogs by keeping the crates above the rising waters. >> water was this high when we were doing this. >> with the water chest-high, they sought shelter. >> everything would be safe to try to put and leave it in the manhole because the water started to come up so high. >> reporter: the manhole is the access to the attic. they had no stairs and had to pull each other up. >> the dogs were howling and crying. we experienced all of that until they were not crying anymore. >> reporter: that silence

represented the death of 220 dogs and 50 cats. >> i felt devastated. we couldn't have predicted this. i feel so bad for the people who entrusted their animals to us and ultimately we couldn't protect them. >> reporter: dorian destroyed the medical equipment, food and vehicles. despite the near-death experience, felisha says, he doesn't regret risking her life. >> we care about the animals just like we care about themselves. >> it is an important angle to consider there. what do you think about so many people that went through the storm, the amount of debris there. and the rescue crews are going through the rubble looking for survivors. >> so missing at this point. >> right.

>> if you would like to help, you can go to cnn.com for information on how to help the people there. >> thank you for joining us. i'm rosemary church. >> i'm george howell. the news continues here on cnn.

if you're going to negotiate peace, you often have to deal with pretty bad actors. >> is there any way out of america's longest war? the president knickses secret talks in the u.s. with the taliban. congress is back today. a full agenda with guns, the border and trade. but house democrats are keeping their focus on impeachment.
