at standing rock, they're not fighting for their water. they're fighting for all of our water. now it's our turn to finally fight for them. the u.s. president about-face. a deck hraration about next year's g7 sum submit. mixed messages. tear gas and demonstrators in the streets as hong kong enters its 20th week of protests. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm george howell.

the cnn "newsroom" starts right now. ♪ an early 4:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. thank you for being with us this day. we start with the u.s. president in a rare instance of mr. trump reversing course due to outside pressure. it happens to do with where the g7 summit will or won't be held. jeremy diamond explains. >> reporter: president trump will not host next year's g7 at his resort near miami, florida after all. in the face of blistering criticism from democrats, as well as some republicans, the president reversed course. in a tweet late saturday night, the president acknowledged the

criticism tweeting while he thought he was, "doing something very good for our country, democrats and the media, quote, went crazy. the president tweeting, therefore based on both media and democrat crazed and irrational hostility, we will no longer consider doral, miami, as the host site for the g7 in 2020. we will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of camp david, immediately. thank you. it all came after the president was accused of once again prompting from his presidency. what went unsaid in the president's tweet was the criticism he faced for members of his own party as well who at a minimum worried about the appearance of impropriety, of a president posting a forum at his own personal property. mick mulvaney defend the choice

and that government officials had concluded that the doral property, which was owned by the president, was somehow the best option in the entire country. and while camp david was a miserable place to host the g7 it was on the table. jeremy, thank you. put it in perspective. thomas gift, a lecturer at university college london live in hour. good to have you with us. >> good morning, george. >> usually we see donald trump doubling down on issues. there's also the triple down trump. rarely do we see an about-face. apparently that is the case when it comes to hosting the g7. this is not the first time that has been raised about how the president might profit in his

time in office. clearly the optics were just too much in this case. >> i certainly agree with you. one interpretation of this decision is that it was such a clear and egregious violation of the emoluments clause that white house counsel told donald trump you have no other option but to change course. this does raise kind of a broader point, which is that a defining characteristic of the trump administration since day one is that it hasn't even tried to conceal the abuses of power and acts of wrongdoing under mounds of excuses and justifications and political double talk. it is pretty much all "out in the open". i think where the challenge is this kind of behavior has been normalized to the extent that nothing sticks. so it becomes very difficult for critics to actually make cogent arguments against ones like we just saw. president trump is blaming this on democratic aoe rarblt.

there is nothing irrational about this. it is coming also from republicans, not just democrats. >> we are learning more about the shadow diplomacy that officials say was in full effect centered around the president's personal toerattorney, rudy giuliani. there are two leanings, one, those who support the president saying giuliani did nothing wrong and credit eubgs saying this is a clear example of quid pro quo. we have reached an aspect where the investigation is moving forward. what will make people reconsi r reconsider? >> well, that's a great point, george. there are certainly mountains of evidence now that there was a quid pro quo over the dealings in ukraine. the problem is public opinion is so solidified across democrats

and republicans that it is somewhat difficult to see trump or the democrats moving the needle very much. people supportive of trump or they are critical of trump. so the real question i think is for democrats and how are they going -- republicans and how are they going to teal with this in congress. i think i them ma for them is they have been in tacitly endorsing these acts of wrongdoing since almost day one of the administration. so it becomes difficult for them to lay down the hammer and say this is problematic. because if they do, then essentially they would be conceding they have been enabling this kind of behavior almost since the very beginning. . >> i want to talk more about that slippery slope for republicans. very few have criticized president trump in recent weeks. given his decision on syria, the cracks appear to be showing more and more. some republicans as a whole remain resistant to the idea of

impeachment. this president, despite the fact that polls show the majority of americans support impeachment, he still receives the support of republicans. is there a growing political will within the party to possibly turn coat on mr. trump? >> you're right. donald trump is fighting bars on two fronts politically. with democrats and the house of representatives over impeachment. and also with republicans, particularly in the senate, overseer ya. that was a very unpopular decision. and we have seen a lot of backlash from leading republican congressmen over that choice. i do have to say, george, that i really do think republicans are going to solidify behind trump. some of them might come out and be critical. but at the end of the day, it is very unlikely they are actually going to come out in favor of impeachment. a lot of this is just the politics of it. they are from districts where

there is quite a bit of support from donald trump still. they are afraid of political retribution and reprisal if they decide to support impeachment. regrettably this isn't exactly profiles in courage for a lot of republican congressmen, but i think that's where we are at this moment. >> toms gift, we appreciate your time. thank you so much. >> thank you, george. now, to the issue of brexit. the european union said it will need a few days to determine if the uk will ask for an extension or not ask for an extension. one was boiler plate language asking for a three-month extension, along with a cover letter to fulfill the legal requirement. mr. johnson followed that with another letter asking the eu to turn town the request, and that could land him in a great deal of hot water in the courts. following the story, ana stewart

in our london bureau as well. ana, the prime minister sent a letter to the eu, some point out without his signature. and another letter contradicting the first. it is leaving a lot of people, the eu included, asking what's the strategy here? >> reporter: you have letter number one. this is ask for an extension. the cover letter from the british ambassador to the eu, that went with it. then we have the letter that is signed by the prime minister. this is the controversial one. i will bring you to the bit. while it is open to the european council to accede to the request mandated, i have made clear since becoming prime minister, my view, and the government's position, that a further

extension would damage the interests of the uk and eu partners, and the relationship between us. so the eu should think carefully about granting an extension. perhaps they shouldn't. two points here. i could fill your whole show with brexit, george. first of all, the extension itself, the eu doesn't have to respond immediately. frankly, the real deadline is october 31st. so the prime minister could still have a window. the eu may grant him a window to still get his deal through before making a decision. the second point i will make, did the prime minister comply with the law. he was required to send a letter requesting an extension to the eu. he did just that. however, some people will say he is trying to frustrate that process by sending that other letter. and there is a court that will be sitting tomorrow in scotland that will be considering just that. george? >> ana stewart, i think you could indeed fill the whole show

with brexit. i wouldn't be surprised. there's so much to talk about. thanks so much. we'll stay in touch with you on it. some protesters directed their concern on parliament. they departed westminster. you see several. gove and leadsom getting an earful here. >> the latest sign that a u.s.-brokered cease-fire could be collapsed. the turks blame the kurds for breaking the deal. the kurds blame the turks. at least one u.s. official said turkish-backed forces are responsible. but the u.s. defense secretary says the pause in fighting generally seems to be holding. mark esper also says the

withdrawal of 1,000 u.s. troops will take weeks, not days. many will be moved to iraq. let's bring in jomana. >> reporter: they said for the most part these have been holding. we have had cease-fires come and go. they are fragile. we are on the border. the town in the background behind us is where some of the most intense clashes were taking place. and since that cease-fire came into effect, or the pause in fighting as turkey describes it, the guns haven't really fallen silent. you still hear the burst of gunfire tprofpfrom time to time

shelling. it is difficult to tell what is going on on the ground and who is responsible for any of these violations. and as you mentioned, both sides are accusing each other of breaching the cease-fire. turkey, for its part, said they have recorded 20 violations, as they describe it, by the syrian kurdish fighters. today announcing one turkish soldier killed and another one wounded. they were conducting surveillance control when they came under attack. and they say they responded. because under that agreement, too, there is room for self-defense. it allows both sides to do so. and that's also another problem when you have these vaguely worded tkpraeplts. they have been calling on the united states saying they need to push turkey to abide by the agreement. yes, one of the man parts of

this agreement is a pause in fighting. yes, to preserve human life. but what turkey wants out of this by the end of those five days, 120 hours, is for all these syrian kurdish fighters to withdraw from the areas of its designated safe zone. and so far we have not really seen any significant signs of such a withdraw taking place, which raises questions about what happens when that deadline expires. president errdogan has made it clear that after the hours expire, they are ready to resume the operation, and it will be even more aggressive than before. >> jomana, thank you so much. as we have done for 20 weeks, look at what's happening on the streets of hong kong. protesters on the move. this is a live look at the streets of hong kong. they are using teargas and water

cannons on demonstrators. we'll have a live report ahead. with oxi boost and febreze odor remover. gain flings. seriously good scent. and i...was...shocked. right away, called my mom, called my sisters. i'm from cameroon, congo, and...the bantu people. i had ivory coast, and ghana...togo. i was grateful... i just felt more connected... to who i am. greater details. richer stories. and now with health insights. get your dna kit at ancestry.com.

we're taking you live to hong kong right now. these images of the crowds, the

protesters, the 20th straight weekend we have seen them play out. this, an unauthorized rally, that has already sparked challenges. they have used tear gas, water cannon as well with blue dye to identify protesters who were there. earlier we saw some demonstrators vandalize a subway station and set up barricades outside another. we have crews on the scene and we will bring you a live report later this hour. this is lebanon. take a look. thousands of demonstrators want the current government to resign over the economic crisis. the finance minister declared no new taxes will be imposed on citizens overnight. four resigned from the government. ben wedeman "on the story" live

in beirut. the coalition government of national unity representing various political religious groups in the country. how is that holding up now against the pressure from the protesters? >> reporter: well, it's not holding up at all, george. you have seen the four ministers with the lebanese forces resigning from the government overnight. you saw the finance minister canceling all new taxes. clearly this government is under severe pressure from the streets. and what we're seeing in the streets is this old confessional sectarian system of government which came into effect in 1943. it's called the national pact. whereby, for instance, the preside speaker of parliament is shia muslim. it is falling apart. because what we are seeing in

the streets of not just beirut but many lebanese cities is that people from all across the sectarian spectrum are coming together. you don't see any political flags here in the demonstrations. they are all only lebanese flags. and people have come to the conclusion that this whole sectarian system of government is designed to divide them. and i think the unity that we're seeing here is sending a very clear message to the current rulers of lebanon and, in a sense, the entire elite, the 1% who have enriched themselves the last eight years. so they have sent a very clear message to the leaders of lebanon that they're not going to take it any more. george? >> the pressure on the government of course to push forward austerity measures at the same time. people, as you say, saying they

won't put up to it. we see the protests playing out live behind you. ben wedeman live, thank you. ana coren is on the streets. ana, we have seen your signal the last few minutes. tell us what you are seeing there. >> reporter: well, george, we are here in hong kong. this has been a flashpoint really the last four months. as you can see here, this is the front line of the protests. and they have set up this barricade. we were with the riot police, which are about 500 yards up the road. they got out of their advance after firing multiple rounds of tear gas. they have taken position 500 meters from where we are standing. the protesters have sort of moved their front line back and are now just waiting, george. this is of course the 20th

consecutive weekend of protests here in hong kong. this began as a peaceful march, unlawful march, unauthorized march. the civil human rights front, the group that organized the 2 million people march back in june, applied for a permit. it was rejected by the police, rejected by the courts. tens of thousands, if not 100,000 plus people came out for the march. and now thousands, tens of thousands of the hard aligned protesters have now come to where we are. pet patrol bombs have been thrown. multiple rounds of tear gas have been fired. it seems they have the numbers to take on police, which is what they were doing. we were out with protesters last weekend. they said there weren't enough of them to take on the police. so they went home after smashing

up shops. today they have the numbers. they know they have the numbers. they can create these road blocks basically egg on the police to take them on. petrol bombs have been thrown. we play this game of cat and mouse. i have seen so many protesters with sledgehammers, metal poles. these are your hardline, frontline protesters looking for a fight. and these people are angry. here they have gone into the bank of china. and no doubt -- yeah. they're on the inside the bank of china. you can hear the alarm going off. but the riot police are 500 meters in that direction. i will show you. there are hundreds, if not thousands of protesters, dressed

in black with their gas masks, helmets, going ggles. they have an umbrella, metal pole, sledgehammer. so we are four months in, george. and it is not letting up. >> anna coren, to give our viewers some perspective on this, again, 20 weeks on. just reminding them this seems to be an existential moment, these 20 weeks, for people there to declare that they are standing up for the rights that they expect under the one country two systems. keeping in mind that system simply at some point becomes china. >> reporter: well, that is what people are fighting against, george. many people say this is hong kong. hong kong is a special administration region of china. for these kids, many of them in

their 20s. we have met 15-year-olds, 14-year-olds. they said we don't want to be part of china. we would rather die than be a part of china. that is how extreme the views are amongst the young people are. they have enjoyed the civil liberties of living under the british colonial rule t. they have had civil liberties, freedom of speech. they have been allowed to gather n streets. protests have been a huge part of hong kong society. now, these are outlawed pause of the violence and the vandalism. whenever there's movement, george, you know the police are coming.

and the police have been accused of using excessive force, of of brutality. they want an independent inquiry into police brutality. they want the police force disbanded. on top of that, many of these protesters don't want to be a part of china. and we have heard from from carrie lam that universal sufferage is out of the question. that is never going to happen. a petrol bomb has just been lit. that is the smoke. these protesters are waiting for the riot police to charge, and they will charge. they will clear this road. one of the busiest roads here in hong kong. now it's just been claimed by protesters. this began with the extradition bill.

protesters fighting the extradition bill. that will formally be withdrawn. as we know, it has morphed into so much more. this is about fighting for freedom, for hong kong's future, for the democracy they have enjoyed which is not enjoyed on mainland china, george. >> anna coren in the middle of it all. for viewers watching this, when protesters move, it means police are pushing on. anna has to look back to make sure she and her team are safe. again, bringing us the news and the events happening on the streets in hong kong. we thank you and your team for it. still ahead, democratic candidate for president in the u.s. bernie sanders is feeling the love. a rock star's welcome. it came with a big endorsement too. stand by.

introducing a razor that works differently. the gillette skinguard. designed with a guard between the blades that helps protect skin. it guards against razor burn on the neck and irritation on the face. get the shave you've been waiting for. gillette skinguard.

welcome back to viewers here in the united states and all around the world. you're watching cnn "newsroom". we are live from atlanta, georgia with your headlines this hour. following the events on the streets in hong kong this hour, protesters there filled those streets in one of the city's busiest tourist districts. some demonstrators there in an unauthorized protest. they built barricades in the streets. protesters also demanding investigations into police violence during earlier protests. these images live right now with anna coren on the streets now. she said when the protesters

move, it means police are pushing in. we see people moving right now as these protests continue. we'll continue to follow it for you. u.s. president donald trump reversing course and says he won't host the next g7 summit at his trump doral resort in florida. donald trump blames the media and democrats for the u turn. the white house was accused of possibly violating ethics rules for its original decision to hold the summit there, despite president trump insisting he would not make money at his personal, private resort there. a cease-fire generally seems to be hold anything northern syria. the turks and kurds say otherwise and blame each other for violating it. turkey says one of its soldiers was killed in a kurdish attack. one u.s. official says turkey-backed forces broke that deal. the eu says it will take several days now on how to

respond to the confusing request for a brexit extension. the formal request was simply an unsigned photocopy of the language mandated by law. the prime minister followed up with a signed letter asking the eu to turn down the request. so two contradictory letters. america's choice 2020. back here stateside, bernie sanders is back on the campaign trail after receiving a major endorsement. take a look at new york there. thousands of people packed in to see the 78-year-old senator who was treated recently for a heart attack. the democrat running for president officially received the support of a popular and progressive new york congresswoman. alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> reporter: it has been more than two and a half weeks since bernie sanders last held a campaign rally.

so he wanted to make his return to the campaign trail a big deal. and he did so by bringing in one of the biggest stars in democratic party politics. bernie sanders wanted to make one thing very clear. >> to put it bluntly, i am back! >> reporter: sanders, a little more than two weeks after suffering a heart attack, returned to the campaign trail in dramatic fashion,ing paing a park in queens with a level of energy and enthusiasm designed to show that despite the health scare, he isn't going anywhere. >> i am happy to report for you that i am more than ready to assume the office of president of the united states. >> reporter: adding reinforcement to this new stage of his campaign -- >> holy cow! >> reporter: progressive rising star alexandria ocasio-cortez. she formally endorsed sanders and said it is the sanders brand

of politics that will beat donald trump. >> no one wanted to question the system. and in 2016 he fundamentally changed politics in america. >> reporter: prior to his heart attack, the sanders campaign was stuck in neutral, struggling to keep up with front-runners elizabeth warren and joe biden. but for lower tier candidates unable to muster double digit support. his heart attack threatened new questions about his age and fitness for office. but his supporters, crowded shoulder to shoulder in queens, said he's not worried about it. >> he's okay. that's the last thing i'm thinking about. he will be around another 30 years. >> reporter: sanders is looking to solidify support from the progressive left. he also picked up the support of ilhan omar. and rashida tlaib.

>> i'm in the united states congress now. and that's a long, long way from being a sexually harassed waitress in downtown manhattan one year ago. however, in this new, historic freshman congressional class, an overwhelming amount of them now reject corporate pac money. that's thanks to bernie. >> reporter: a force that brings with it energy to help draw what his campaign said was the biggest crowd so far and inspired supporters like peter. . >> it seems aoc saw him almost on his death bed and still thought he was the best candidate for president. >> reporter: and he made a promise to supporters, he is in this race to win.

>> there is no doubt in my mind that not only will we win this election but together we will transform this country. thank you all very much. >> reporter: sanders hopes to keep the momentum going with this reinvigorated campaign by taking it to iowa. they will be in the state later this week. their caucus a little more than 100 days away. and also has a pretty big war chest to help spread his message. $30 million cash on hand. ryan nobles, cnn, queens, new york. now live to the streets of hong kong. a fire burning in the middle of the street. this bonfire, we understand, people have been throwing wood into the fire to ensure that it continues to burn there. we have seen these events play out now for 20 weeks straight. our anna coren is in the middle of all of that. we spoke with her a short time ago. again, the protesters move throughout the city.

right now one of the busiest tourist districts of hong kong making their voices heard. they were sparked by the extradition bill. it was withdrawn. it would have given mainland china the ability to extradite people from hong kong. that set off protests as we have seen play out on the streets right now. let's look at this. people are crossing over the barricade there. anna mentioned when protesters are on the move, it typically means police are following close behind. we'll continue to monitor this and other parts of hong kong. in bolivia, that nation holding its own presidential election. voters in the south american country will be heading to the polls in the coming hours. the current president, eva morales, hopes to be re-elected. the former farmer has been meeting supporters.

he swept into powerback in 2006 alleging to bolster the marginalized indigenous groups. could pictures of kim jong-un on a white horse mean north korea is planning something big. it is a matter of reading between the tea leaves. we will look at those possibilities as "newsroom" continues. it's the sleep number 360 smart bed. can it help me fall asleep faster? yes, by gently warming your feet. can it help keep me asleep? absolutely, it intelligently senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you effortlessly comfortable. will it help me raise my game? yup! so, you can really promise better sleep? not promise, prove. so i can be my best for these guys? yes, and those guys. sleep number. this is not a bed it's proven quality sleep. from $999.

welcome back to cnn "newsroom". i'm george howell. recent photos of the north korean leader kim jong-un have experts wondering is the country planning something, a major event? this picture, there it is, loaded with a great deal of symbolism. kim jong-un riding a majestic white horse on a mountain many consider sacred. brian todd looks into it. >> reporter: there is nothing for kim jong-un like a ride on a

white stallion as a means of inspiring his people. this time the north koreans made such an event out of it they pulled their legendary state tv anchor out of semi retirement to give her signature breathless narration. pyongyang's state-run news agency released several photos of kim riding a white house on mount pectu. they called it a great event of weighty importance. >> it is clear they are in full propaganda. >> reporter: for north koreans few places are as sacred. it is the birth place about 4,000 years ago of the mythical founder of the kingdom of korea. >> kim jong-un derives his legitimacy as the leader from this myth al blood line they call it. this idea that the kims have descended from mythical mount

pectu in north korea and therefore they have been divinely chosen to be the leaders. >> i think a good way to think about it is like camp david. it's a place where the north korean leader would go to reflect and ponder important moves. >> reporter: kim ascended mount pectu near the timing of his test firing of the ent intercontinental ballistic missile. he went there just before giving a chilling order which consolidated his power. >> the most famous instance of kim jong-un is when it was about two weeks before they executed the take 2013. >> reporter: his powerful uncle, who he accused of treason and had executed with an anti-aircraft gun. he pulled a page out of the putin playbook. the two strong men held a summit

this spring. it is unknown if he coached kim on horseback propaganda. >> most likely scenario is they will resume missile or nuclear tests because they are unhappy with the u.s.'s unwillingness to accept their demands. the most recent working level talks fell apart. >> reporter: analysts say the visit could also be a sign that kim may be getting ready to make a deal with president trump and the clock could be ticking for that. north korea previously gave an ultimatum that progress on nuclear talks has to be made by year's end. and trump is gearing up for a contentious re-election campaign, where he is under more pressure than ever for a foreign policy victory. brian todd, cnn, washington. putin on a horse. kim jong-un on a horse. meteorologist eric van dam. what have you got? >> i left my horse at home. figure cnn weather didn't need

that grand of an entrance. >> well, i think you're good enough. >> i'll take that. our topic today, we are monitoring the remnants of what was a tropical storm. it was responsible for spawning two tornados, one in georgia, one in the florida panhandle. so all of this going down within the past 24 hours. it is no longer a tropical storm. it is racing across the southeast. look at the remnants of what was tropical storm nestor. you can see the sharp drop in the statistical number of hurricanes and tropical storms as we work to the end of october, early parts of november. by the way, the official end of the were hurricane season november 30th. this tropical storm did impact the florida panhandle. brought over 7 inches in a few locations. baskin, 7.77 inches of rainfall. now, that says something.

the rain shield is moving out of georgia and through the carolinas, as well as the mid atlantic. this is going to cause travel concerns today the. good thing it has weakened. i-95 is getting pounded with heavy rainfall. a popular corridor. lots of shipping taking place, trucking and vehicle activity. the latest computer models indicating heavier rainfall moving into new york city, long island area. still yet to determine whether or not that is going to take place. we are monitoring the rain band moving across the mid atlantic and into new england. this was much needed precipitation across the deep south. we have been in extreme drought the past 24 hours. on the other side of the system, we are talking about the potential of severe storms today. heads-up in dallas, little rock, texas, oklahoma city, into springfield. we have the potential for tornados and large hail and damaging winds. this, by the way, has been upgraded to moderate risk from the storm prediction center. we have the tug-of-war between

seasons. we have cold autumn-like weather to the west and milder conditions to the east. that collision causes our chance of severe storms. >> there it is. eric van dam, thank you so much. coming up, world cup rugby finals are ahead from tokyo. wales takes on france.

>> we're taking you back to the streets of hong kong this hour. this image live at 4:52 p.m. there. protesters filling the streets. this is the 20th straight weekend that we have seen these protests. let's go live to our anna coren who is in the middle of all of this. anna, what are you seeing? >> reporter: the water cannon is just behind us. they have run through the barricades. police just issued a warning to protesters saying this is an unlawful assembly.

now the black flag is going up saying tear gas is about to be fired. as you can see police standing there ready to fire. a petrol bomb went off very close to where we have been standing. about 200 meters behind us. sorry. we have to leave. the protesters set up another barricade, george. it is a multipronged attack. this is a clearance operation. they want people out of here. it is unlawful assembly. they can arrest people. everybody here is wearing a face

mask. it's been a couple hours since the peaceful demonstration,s the peaceful walk. there are thousands of them here today. they have started to set up barricades, smash up windows. fire bombs. that's what we are witnessing as the street battles and protests. it's interesting, george, last weekend we were covering, we were following at one of the hard line protesters smashing up shops. and there weren't enough of them to take on police. today obviously is a very different situation. there are thousands of them.

and they have been having these ongoing battles with police now. >> not sure if we still have you there, anna. you may have lost signal. we will give you a second to return if you can. you are seeing these images in hong kong. that fire you see there, that's where a fire was set by presumably by protesters. let's bring anna back in the last few seconds of our show. anna, again, the context here is king. this happening in a major tourist district. >> reporter: yeah. this is normally an extremely busy shopping district. this has been hong kong the last four months.

there is no business. these protests are hurting the economy, there is no denying that. hospitality, restaurants, hotels. the airlines are suffering. business is suffering. as far as the protesters are concerned, the attitude is -- these are the raptors, the special forces. they have identified protesters in the distance. they are going to try to arrest as many people as they can. the count is almost at 20,000. it may have surpassed that by now. so many people, so many young people, george, have been arrested.

arrested for unlawful assembly. if they are convicted, george, that will carry a sentence of 20 years. >> all right. that is our anna coren in the middle of all of this. again, protesters speaking up, making their voices heard. our anna coren and her team doing the work of journalism, taking us to the streets as our correspondents do in the middle east and around the world. stand by for more news after the break. you're watching cnn.
