headquarters in atlanta, we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. "newsroom" starts right now. ♪ thank you for joining us. 5:00 a.m. in atlanta, georgia. we appreciate it. we begin with the white house and the impeachment inquiry. the ukraine scandal now engulfing the trump white house and it's moving rapidly on multiple fronts. here are the latest developments. house democrats have subpoenaed the white house to turn over documents and other records related to ukraine, after the administration ignored a request to do so voluntarily. >> and the vice president of the united states, mike pence, he's in the mix now. his meetings in poland with ukraine's new leader have prompted a request for

documents. >> u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo missed a friday deadline to provide lawmakers with ukraine documents and records. the house foreign affairs committee says it is hopeful that information will be handed over soon. >> and then there's this from the "the new york times." the "times" reporting a second possible whistle-blower is considering filing a formal complaint against the president. the "times" says this person is an intelligence official with first hand knowledge of some key events regarding the white house and ukraine. all of this comes as activity on the heels of an explosive congressional testimony from the former u.s. special envoy to ukraine, kurt volker. >> yeah, the most damaging information are text messages. cnn schneider has more. >> reporter: detailing rudy giuliani influence on president trump's perception of ukraine, as he tried to convince the

president that ukraine's new government was serious about stopping corruption. volker revealed that he met in late may with president trump, who insisted ukraine was a corrupt country full of terrible people. the president said, they tried to take me down. the president referring to a theory that it was ukraine, not russia, that interfered in the 2016 election. that has been debunked. volker also released pages of text that show how the trump administration with the help of rudy giuliani was determined to push ukraine to investigate joe biden and his son, as well as that debunked theory. on july 25th, the day of trump's phone call with ukrainian president zelenskzelensky, volk texted zelensky's aide, heard from the white house, assuming president z convinces trump he will investigate to get to the bottom of what happened. but volker insists he never took

to a message saying he would investigate joe biden saying the suggest that he would have influenced his duties as vice president simply has no credibility to me. but volker's involvement is clear from this text to early august with rudy giuliani. hi, mr. mayor, he-h a good chat with yermak last night. he was pleased with your phone cal call. that statement was never released. on august 30th, the top american diplomat in ukraine william taylor tells volker that the president has cancelled his trip to ukraine. the next day, taylor texts gordon sonland, a prominent donor and ambassador.

are we now saying that security assistance and white house meeting are conditioned on investigations? his response, call me. as i said on the phone i think it's crazy to withhold security assistance for help with a political campaign. sondland texts back, i believe you're incorrect about president trump's intentions. the president has been crystal clear no quid pro quos of any kind. volker also said in his opening state that he did become aware that foreign aid to ukraine was being held up at the same time he was connecting ukrainian aides with rudy giuliani. but volker said he did not perceive those two issues to be linked in any way. jessica schneider, cnn, washington. meantime, president trump is trying out a new defense strategy to counter the mounting evidence. >> that defense, he says it's more about corruption. he says it's not about politics. our jim acosta has this. >> reporter: with mounting evidence, he solicited foreign

interference in the 2020 election president trump is changing his story, insisting he's now more interested in rooting out corruption than investigating former vice president joe biden. >> i don't care about biden's campaign. but i do care about corruption. his campaign, that's up to him. politics, that's up to them. i don't care about politics. so, we are looking at corruption, we're not looking at politics. we're looking at corruption. >> reporter: but that's not how the president laid it out the day before when he directly called on ukraine and china to dig up some biden family dirt. >> it's a very simple answer. they should investigate the bidens. by the way, likewise, china should start an investigation into the bidens. because what happened in china is just about as what happened with ukraine. >> reporter: now, the president is claiming he never thought biden would win the democratic nomination. >> i think it would be an easy opponent. but i never thought biden was

going to win. i don't care about politics. but i do care about corruption. >> reporter: and mr. trump could not answer whether he was seeking corruption probes in foreign countries that don't include democratic candidates. >> -- any corruption investigation that don't involve your political opponents? >> you know, we would have to look. >> reporter: so far at least one republican is not buying as utah's senator mitt romney tweeted by all appearances the president's brazen and unprecedented appeal to china and to ukraine to investigate joe biden is wrong and pawling. and saying mr. trump is just patrolling the media. >> that's a request needling the press knowing you guys are going to get outpaged at it. he's pretty good at getting everybody fired up. he's been doing that for a while. the media responded right on task. >> reporter: that may explain why the president is confident

the republican-controlled senate will hole its ground and keep mr. trump in office. if house democrats vote to geec impeach. >> they have no choice. the republicans have been very unified. >> reporter: but the impeachment inquiry has found its way to town halls, iowa's joni ernst got an earful. >> where is the line? when are you guys going to say enough? >> good question, so -- >> reporter: the president is also not answering whether he had violated the law. the chair of the federal election commission says the law is clear, it's illegal for any person to sift, accept or %-pn with an election. >> i got a call the other night from pastors, the biggest pa eg

pastors. evangelical. they said we have never seen our religion or any religion electrified. >> reporter: the president is describing it in almost biblical terms. >> asia is doing poorly to put it mildly. >> and the president is firing off a letter saying the white house won't cooperate until the house democrats hold a vote on the impeachment inquiry. a source tells us that letter may come out on monday. jim acosta, cnn, the white house. >> jim, thank you. a handful of the president's strongest supporters in congress have offered vague or little defense. >> overall, their silence is astounding. cnn reached out to more than 80 congressional republicans for comment. very few responded. as jim acosta just reported, senator mitt romney is one of the rare voices on capitol hill expressing disapproval. let's talk more about these

developments with inderjeet parmar. good to see you. >> good to see you, too. >> what do you make of the president changing his story about why he reached out to biden, now he's saying it's all about corruption and not getting political dirt? >> i think it's interesting. he's getting on new turf. if the democrats are focused on national security where it's just clear from the clip that you just showed and other evidence that there is a lot of question for him to answer and his administration to answer, i think he wants to shift the ground on to corruption. and i think he's doing that because, "a," it takes the pressure away from the national security focus. but it also broadens, the possible inquiries to include possible actions by joseph bind and his son, which i understand the ukrainian prosecutor now is reopening some old cases.

so, it's national security versus corruption. and i think he wants to plant his flag in that area, to draw attention away and broaden to say everybody is doing the kind of thing that i've been looking at doing. >> meanwhile, the white house is looking at never turn in the inquiry. the house democrats have subpoenaed the white house for documents. the vice president is involved now. how is it playing out on the word stag world stage? >> well, it's very difficult for me to speak about the whole world stage. what i can say, seems to me with the incident that has emerged with the second whistle-blower in the wings and what came out of the of kurt volker's testimony and the texts, that there appears to be a very strong case. that not only includes the president and the white house, but also the vice president, the state department and so on. so it appears to be broadening

out to a large blast against the entire administration. and i think that is further undermining the authority of the united states. before, if you like, you could argue that there was very little actual strong evidence of russian interference in the previous election. here, this appears to be very much more credible evidence which the white house itself has basically released. and it is very, very difficult for them to argue against it. that's why the gop people that you have reached out have been been very reluctant to call you back because they're watching and waiting. they've seen the polling fillings shift towards impeachment inquiries, shift towards possible impeachment authority itself. and the president's approvals and disapprovals becoming much more problematic. i think for the united states, outside of the authority of the president and the gop is much

lower. but i will say this is going to go a bit broader than as well, because as i understand it the trump administration announced $39 billion of arms sales to ukraine in the near future. as well as what i was talking about the prosecutor reopening some old corruption dacases in e ukraine. it looks like it's going to take a lot of people down with it. >> it's widely believed that inviting china to investigate, the president is attacking the sovereignty of the united states. are the democrats, in your opinion, doing an ample job of pointing out of the gravity of the president's behavior? >> well, as i said, their focus appears to be very much intelligence, national security related and the initial whistle-blower is said to have contacted the intelligence committee staff or chair for guidance before even contacting the inspector general. that means that they are -- they're planting their flag on the gnash security intelligence

question and so on. and i can see the grounds for that. the president is demanding that they hold a house floor vote. the republicans are -- sorry, the democrats are reluctant to do that because of the 40 or so freshmen congressmen elected in midterms, something like 41 are in districts that trump won in 2016. so they're watching which way their constituents are going. are they doing a good job? up to now, they're worried too. they may broaden out. but i would say one of the big problems is they're not pursuing inquiry as before. the taxes as well as, you know, kind of going around congress, declaring national emergencies and so on, in that direction. but i can see why they would focus on the areas that they are. >> all right, well, of course, this came about because of the president's interest in investigating joe biden. let's listen to the democratic

presidential candidate what he has said recently about president trump. >> all this talk of the president about corruption comes from the most corrupt president we've had in modern history. he's the definition of corruption. he's indicted himself by his own statements. this is not about me. it's not about my son. he talks about how we should handle whistle-blowers. he talks about there will be a civil war. this is the guy that's unhinged. he is unhinged. >> biden there, he's not slack in giving his opinions on president trump. the question is, why is president trump so concerned about biden? >> well, i wouldn't disagree with anything that joe biden just said in the clip that you've shown. president trump is worried about joe biden, precisely at the time where joe biden's numbers are actually declining. joe biden is the gop's idea of

the actual candidate to oppose president trump in the 2020 election. he clearly wants to undermine him like he did with hillary clinton and the emails and so on. and i can see political party reasons. but you can't use the office of the presidency to fight against a political opponent. that's an abuse of power. it's basically an impeachable offense. the problem is that president trump has now opened himself up to, he is no victim. he is what candidate biden said, he is very corrupt. we know that. the number of investigations of this president is probably is unparalleled in american history. and he is no victim here. what he's seeking to do is to try to cast a light on somebody else to undermine them in order to overcome the oppositions. i can see why he's doing it. but the problem is, he's violating and abusing his power as president to do it. he's no victim. even if other people are guilty of some of the kind of things

he's been accused of as well. >> we appreciate your insight. thank you for joining us, inderjeet parmar from london, thank you. we have, as we have been for many weekends now following the situation in hong kong. a chief executive there says the ban on coverage -- the ban on face coverings should help curb the violence but so far, it's only caused more demonstrations. more on that ahead. also ahead here, protests in iraq take another violent turn. the government promising action, but will it be enough? we'll take you live to baghdad for the latest. i use the color that protects as it colors. excellence haircolor from l'oreal with pro-keratine complex. rich, radiant color and it cares for my hair. no color protects or covers grays better. so much care in one little box.

protesters just wrapped up a march in hong kong, but they are still on the streets, many wearing masks, as you can see, defying the government's new band on face coverings. >> this is 5:20 p.m. in hong kong. they're out attacking subway stations and setting fires but the city's chief executive says that's why the ban is justified. let's go live to our paula hancocks live. paula, the new ban is neck. what's the difference that you've seen so far? >> reporter: well, george, the main difference we're seeing here in hong kong is the fact

that many shops are shut. 7-eleven has just shut all of its branches across hong kong from 5:00 p.m. there are many big department stores that have shut their doors. the subway is completely shut as well. from saturday morning, the sunwsu subways, many were damaged since friday night. we did see the stations that had fires set outside. we saw some of the banks, bank of china, china construction bank had damage to their atms as well. we've been seeing a cleanup operation. one of the interesting things you've seen, there have been some kids outside of food shops, there have been many that don't have enough on the shelves. this is certainly not a city functioning normally at this point. just up to about an hour and a half ago there was a rally of several hundred, potentially thousands of protesters, many

wearing masks. they want to make the point that they disagree fundamentally with the law that the executive has brought in. caught carrie lam has given a speech saying the scary riots, as she calls them friday night thats were there was a need for the emergency law to be put in place. >> paula hancocks, thank you. we're also following developments in iraq. the violent protests have been playing out there. it's claimed the lives of 93 people. 3900 people have been injured there. >> and the government appears to be ease something emergency measures. the prime minister has lifted a curfew in baghdad which was imposed after the demonstrations broke out. he's also creating a new committee to address grievances. cnn's arwa damon has been covering the unrest in baghdad. she's joining us live. the question, arwa, will the small steps by the government make a difference?

>> reporter: you know, it's really tough to tell, natalie, because these are countrywide protests and they don't have a leader. and keep in mind it's not the first time iraqis have taken to the streets making demands. better services and more employment opportunity. these have been issues that they've been desperate for for decades now. just imagine the youth here, youth unemployment is extremely high. people go, they get a higher education, they're unable to find work opportunities. and everyone is very well aware of the fact that this is a country that sits on one of the largest oil reserves. they know that the company makes billions of dollars on oil revenue every single month. and while the government can't explain where that money has gone and why there's been so little trickledown effect, it really defies logic even how

much wealth this country has, they're struggling with electricity cuts and the unemployment. and they know it boils down to corruption. yes, the government has lifted the curfews but the internet is cut in many areas. the curfew fueled people's anger because it restricted their movement. it created panic. people began stockpiling food and water in their homes. and it also affected businesses which can really ill-afford it at this stage. the government is saying they will be forming an independent committee. there is going to be an emergency meeting in parliament today although some key political parties have been saying they would be boycotting it. we also heard from one of the country's leading shia clerics to be quite anti-american, he was saying that he believes the government should be disbanded and early elections should be held.

there's still a lot of uncertainty. there's still a lot of fear and we're expecting perhaps there may be more demonstration towards the evening as seems to be the trend. and with the numbers of the death toll now coming to light, that also is fuelling people's anger and frustration, natalie. >> right, if those protests happen. hopefully, the government will adhere to its promise to not fire on these people. arwa damon for us in baghdad. thank you for your reporting, arwa. in the united states kingdom prince harry and his wife the duchess of sussex are again taking on the british tabloids. >> just stays that meghan markle filed suit over a letter that was published. she he's now suing two newspapers accusing them of tapping into his phone. cnn's anna stewart has more. >> reporter: since meghan the duchess launched legal

proceedings for alleging publishing a private message of her father. buckingham palace said it regards the illegal messages. the parent company of the sun have confirmed they've received a claim. the publisher said it's aware of the legal proceedings but they haven't yet received official notification. both papers decline to comment on the allegations at this time. the big question is when did this alleged voice mail interception take place? did it take place to the hacking scandal of 2005 and 2006, that was the hacking of royal and celebrity phones. and engulfed those newspapers and now the defunct news the world. the scandal results in numerous lawsuits, jail time for some journalists. and prince harry's decision to sue tabloid papers comes days

after his wife's and after the extraordinary and emotional statement on the tabloid press emergency he criticized the double standard of a specific press pass that gave positive coverage of their recent trip in africa and his wife. he said they vilified her for the last nine months. it sounds like a real shot of a british media. the scandal rocking the trump white house isn't going away soon. we will go live to both beijing and kiev, to get the reaction there to what's happening in washington. plus, the u.s. president fires off another round of unfounded accusations about joe biden and his son hunter. now observers are taking a closer look at the trump children.

for viewers watching on cnn usa, welcome, good morning. to our viewers around the world, thank you for watching "newsroom." i'm george howell. >> i'm natalie allen. protesters in hong kong are defying the government's new ban on face covering. hundreds marched to the streets many wearing masks. hundreds of shops and the subway remain closed. the city's chief executive says the measure is justified because of the violence of friday protesters that set fires in the streets and attacked train stations and stores. in iraq, violent protests there that claimed the lives of 93 people so far. more than 133900 others have be injured since the protests started tuesday. the prime minister of the station has announced a new committee to address protesters' demands and concerns. and he lifted a curfew imposed

on the capital city of baghdad. >> the white house has been subpoenaed for documents relating to ukraine. a request for documents was also made to vice president mike pence. meantime, "the new york times" is reporting a second whistle-blower may come forward with firsthand knowledge of the events related to ukraine. the former u.s. diplomat to ukraine kurt volker told congress that rudy giuliani gave president trump dubious information about ukraine, leaving mr. trump to believe ukraine was full of, quote, terrible people who tried to, quote, take him down, in the 2016 election. the white house scandal over ukraine exploded his week with president trump publicly stating that china should investigate joe biden, his democratic rival. and it was a surreal moment in u.s. history. >> it's a safe bet that political leaders in china and ukraine were caught off guard by mr. trump's statements. ukraine did announce, that it

would audit it would review some of the past investigations, but that is a far cry from digging up dirt on biden and his son. sam kiley is following the story for us. sam is in ukraine, the capital city of kiev. we now know that ukraine will audit its cases overseen by its predecessors. is that bowing to pressure as critics are seeing this? and what's the view in that country? >> reporter: well, the view in ukraine, and very much the view of the prosecutor general this is not the result of american pressure, but as a result of ukraine's new regime, new presidency, to clean out the corrupt processes of the previous prosecutors general, both of whom were sources used by rudy giuliani to put together a dossier of so far completely unsubstantiated theorys that

make all kinds of allegations against hunter and joe biden. so the government was responding 35 hours or so after it came to public with donald trump to investigate the bidens. what he said there would be a broad investigation of a number of corruption cases including the investigations and activities of the man who owns the company upon which hunter biden sat on the board. that is as far as it goes. very, very reluctant to use the term "biden" in the press conference. i think that is also reflected in the text changes that we saw published over the last 24 hours or so, in which american officials negotiating with ukrainian officials about a white house visit for the president of the ukraine, trying to get the word "biden" shoehorned into a public statement ukrainians, that visit pushed back it never went

ahead, george. >> sam, thank you. it's not just president trump under screwutiny, his children are also in the forefront. >> our sara murray has this from washington. >> what i saw biden do with his son, he is pillaging these countries and he's hurting us. >> reporter: president trump firing off another round of unfounded accusations that joe biden used his position as vice president to protect and enrich his son hunter biden. >> we are looking for corruption. when you look at what biden and his son did, what you look at other people, what they've done, and i believe there was tremendous corruption with biden. >> reporter: but ethics experts say trump is the one with the conflict. >> donald trump is profiting off his presidency. >> reporter: trump's children, made international deals on his behalf and serve in his administration. unlike biden, trump stands to

benefit financially with their work. >> my two sons who are right here don and eric are going to be running the company. they are going to be running it in a very professional manner. they're not going to discuss it with me. >> reporter: trump promised no foreign deals. but that hasn't stopped his family from continuing business overseas. because trump never divested from his company he stands to profit. trump's most recent financial disclosure shows he holds more than $430 million in assets. >> the two sons, when they go around the world cutting deals, aren't cutting those deals on their own behalf, they're cutting those deals for their father. >> reporter: trump's meeting with the indian prime minister was mutual beneficial. >> from ceo to commander in chief, the president of the united states of america mr. donald trump. >> reporter: india is looking to

reduce trade tensions with the u.s. and trump was angling for a boost with indian american voters. >> every day, indian americans help write the story. >> reporter: there's another compelling reason for the two men to stay in good terms. >> what's the state of construction? >> honestly, great. >> reporter: the trumps have plowed ahead with deals in india, indonesia, you're gurugu the philippines. and speaking with aaron burnett, the trump family business. >> maybe these are people that really want to buy nice condos or maybe they're people that want to influence the president. >> reporter: the trump organization donated nearly $200,000 to the u.s. treasury last year. the company says that represents all of its profits from foreign governments but the numbers are

nearly impossible to verify. the trump family dismisses it as a nonissue. >> somebody bought a cheeseburger at the trump hotel, it's asinine. >> reporter: jared kushner and ivanka trump's roles in the white house opened up another potential for foreign influence. the timing for ivanka trump branded products, the timing for trade talks raised eyebrows. and officials in at least four countries talked about ways to manipulate kushner. the president's sons have insisted their dad isn't swayed by business deals but the elder trump jumps at every chance to tout his properties on the world stage. even naming it trump national doral. >> it's a great place.

it's got tremendous achage. people really like it. plus it has building that have 50 or 60 and each delegation can have its own building. >> we asked the trump organization if they wanted to shed any light on any potential conflicts between president trump and the children they did not respond to our request. a second day of working level talks between the u.s. and north korea is due to take place in the swedish capital. the meeting in stockholm is the first formal face-to-face contact between the two countries since donald trump and kim jong-un met in union at the korean dmz. >> that's when they view vowed reinstate negotiations.

democratic presidential candidate bernie sanders says he hopes to be back on the campaign trail soon. >> this despite doctors confirming he had a heart attack earlier this week. our ryan nobles reports. >> reporter: vermont senator

bernie sanders, the candidate for president, left a las vegas hospital on friday afternoon after spending 2 1/2 days there being treated for a heart attack. sanders with his wife by his side waved to a crowd of people. sanders was at that hospital after experiencing chest pains on tuesday night, during an even in las vegas. two the doctors put out a statement that described his hospital stay as uneventful. they say he had, quote, good expected progress. they had said that he had two stents placed. and also diagnoseded a myocardial infarction which is a clinical term for a heart attack. sanders is going to take time off the campaign trail but he's promised he will return in time for the cnn debate which takes place on october 15th. inside the campaign, i've been told there's no deliberation as to whether or not he'd continue his run for president. sanders who felt immediately

better after the procedure to have the stents put in, said he was ready to get back on the trail. while sanders feels better and his doctors have said his prognosis is good, this will no doubt be an issue for him going forward. his age, we just heard 78, has long been a knock on his campaign. and now with the specter of a recent heart attack added to the mix. it's going to make it difficult that he's up for the job. and at this point, after a short break he seems prepared to pick up right where he left off. ryan nobles, cnn, washington. >> ryan, thank you. some vape store owners here in the united states are striking back at a ban on vaping products. >> last month, new york became the first state to ban the sale of flavored e-cigarettes. then the massachusetts governor declared a public health in which to ban the products. >> and now some store owners have filed a suit. they say the ban will kill their business and turn customers

towards more dangerous alternatives. our clare sebastian picks up this story. >> protect yourself. >> it's in crisis mood, the owner is facing a state wide pand ban on flavored products. the ban she said affects 90% of her sales. what is life like right now? >> well, we made $86 yesterday. so, the employees get paid more than that per day which means that we will be bankrupt probably in a couple of weeks. >> reporter: with a sudden rise in vaping related illnesses and deaths and widespread teen usage, new york along with a growing number of other u.s. states are taking emergency measures, trying to ban some or all vaping products. >> this is a frightening public health phenomenon. >> reporter: the u.s. centers

for disease control says the liquid cartridges containing cannabis some of which came from an illegal source played a role. still, it's considered to pull all off the market nationwide. manufacturers have until next year to get each approved for market. >> it isn't certain what the regulations are going to be. it isn't certain if the flavored products come off the market if they'll be permitted back once the application process is completed. in a year or more's time, at the moment, it's roughly two-thirds of what juul is selling. they're the market leader. >> reporter: juul is navigating the new regulation. the tobacco company which has a 35% stake in juul has lost in the upside. >> and the customers come in and they hug you and they cry. and they say what am i going to do? what will i do?
