>> do you want to see them? >> no, not really. i'm positive. hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. it is 7:00 a.m. in london, 9:00 a.m. in northern syria, from atlanta headquarters, i'm rosemary church with your next two hours of cnn newsroom. let's get started. the largest u.s. troop withdrawal from syria to date gets underway, despite the concerns that negotiated cease-fire in the region is not holding. the british prime minister is pushing for a new vote on his brexit deal after yet another stunning setback in parliament over the weekend. plus, the white house chief

of staff's attempt at damage control after making a major admission about the ukraine scandal at the heart of the impeachment inquiry. ♪ ♪ good to have you with us. so, time is running out for former u.s. allies, the kurdish-led syrian forces. a brokered cease-fire expires tuesday and turkey says it's ready to relaunch its offensive unless kurdish fighters pull back from a so-called safe zone. and you can see that area shaded in green right here on the map. the kurds say they have evacuated the border town of ras alain. they also say turkish-backed forces have blocked their path. none of this, though, seems to

be phasing u.s. president donald trump. he is moving ahead with plans to keep pulling u.s. troops from the region. this exclusive footage shows hundreds of vehicles gathering for a convoy. the u.s. defense secretary discussed the cease-fire saturday. >> i think overall the cease-fire generally seems to be holding. we see a stabilization of the lines, if you will, on the ground. and we do get reports of intermittent fires, this and that. that doesn't surprise me necessarily, but that's what we're, that's what we're picking up. that's what we're seeing so far. >> another concern, turkey plans to settle non-kurdish refugees in the safe zone. the kurds say that amounts to ethnic cleansing. cnn has more now from the turkish/syrian border. >> reporter: both sides continue to accuse each other of not abiding by that cease-fire agreement. turkey's ministry of defense on sunday says that they have

recorded more than 20 violations of that agreement. they say that one of their patrols near the town came under attack and at least one turkish soldier was killed in that attack. on the other hand, the syrian kurdish fighters are also accusing turkey of not abiding by that agreement. while there have been some incidents that have taken place since the agreement went into effect, it does seem that for the most part, it is holding, and that is according to the u.s. secretary of defense mark esper. now, it's important to remember why this pause in fighting is taking place. that is because turkey wants all the syrian kurdish fighters to evacuate, to withdraw from the different areas that are part of its designated safe zone. and the deadline for that is on tuesday evening. that is when the pause in fighting could come to an end on

tuesday night if they do not leave all these areas. we've heard the warnings from president erdogan repeating that again on sunday, saying that they are ready to resume this offensive unless all these fighters withdraw from the different areas of the safe zone. on sunday we saw a convoy, according to the turkish ministry of defense. they say that a convoy of more than 80 vehicles left the town, the border town where much of the operation was focused. according to the syrian kurdish fighters, the syrian democratic forces, they say that all their fighters withdrew. they left that town. while this might be the beginning of that withdrawal of the syrian kurdish fighters turkey wants to see, that is probably not going to be enough. turkish officials have made it clear. they want them to hand over their heavy weapons and leave the entire safe zone area.

and turkish officials are saying the clock is ticking. jomana caratachea, cnn, on the turkish/syrian border. >> retired colonel cederic leighton joins us. good to have you with us. >> it's great to be with you again. >> the u.s. secretary is insisting turkey and the syrian kurdish forces generally seems to be holding, his words there, despite reports of more than 20 violations. how can they say the cease-fire or pause, whatever you want to call it, is holding if violations are committed? >> well, it's all in the eye of the beholder. so in these situations, i think, rosemary, what you're looking at is the relative peace compared to what you had before, just as the turks made their incursion into northeastern syria. generally speaking, i would say that, you know, with 20

violations, that's a bit 20 too many, and i wouldn't say that the cease-fire is holding in the strictest sense of the word. but it's also true that in this case, at least, the fighting has not gone on to its fullest possible extent. so in that sense it's -- you're kind of splitting hairs, but in this case we're looking at a tenuous cease-fire or cessation of hostilities that's going on right now in northern syria. >> all right. and, of course, turkey wants all the kurdish fighters to withdraw from their designated safe zone by tuesday night. and if they don't do that, then the cease-fire, according to turkey, will come to an abrupt end. that withdrawal has begun apparently. would you expect it to be completed by that tuesday evening deadline? do you think we'll see that? >> i'm not sure that we will. i think the kurds may not be as willing to withdraw from all of their positions, but they seem

to have some pretty strict discipline when it comes to following the directions of their leadership. and as painful as it is for them to vacate their positions, most of the forces right now seem to be doing that. and if that's the case, it could happen by tuesday we actually do see major compliance on the part of the kurdish forces with the terms of the cease-fire, but it would surprise me if it were complete compliance. >> and after raising the ire of both republicans and democrats by withdrawing u.s. troops from northern syria and making way for turkey's military to move in, we now hear that those same troops will not actually be heading home after all as president trump had promised. instead, will be going to western iraq to perform isis counter missions. what do you make of that apparent change of plan? >> i'm not really sure it was a change of plan. so what i think we're seeing here, rosemary, is a

redeployment of forces within the theater. this redeployment of forces was never intended to be a leaving of the middle east, an exit from this area. and in spite of the president's rhetoric, what you're seeing is a tactical redeployment where those forces could potentially be used in a continuation of the fight against isis. some will say that is actually a way to propagate and move forward with the mission against isis. but it's also a more difficult place to do that mission from to conduct those operations from, and that's going to make it a little bit more challenging for the u.s. forces. >> right. of course, one of president trump's greatest supporters, senator lindsey graham has been critical of the president's decision to withdraw u.s. troops from northern syria. but now senator graham is saying, well, that was just a yellow light, not a green light for turkey to move in. why does he appear to be backing

down on his criticism, or at least back pedaling here? >> well, it does seem as if senator graham is trying to have it both ways. you know, on the one hand he wants to be critical because historically he's been one of the key proponents along with the late senator john mccain of u.s. presence in syria. in this particular case, that is, of course, antithetical to what president trump just did. and we see him trying to, in essence, split the difference between the legacy he had with senator mccain and his need to, i think, support president trump. so that becomes one of those politically difficult maneuvers that he's conducting right now. whether it's a yellow light or a green light, i would say, you know, the turkish car is still speeding through the intersection and that's what we're seeing now. >> indeed. cedric leighton, thanks for breaking this down and bringing

your military analysis to the table here. we appreciate it. >> absolutely, rosemary. thanks so much for having me. >> well, after setback saturday, could today possibly be meaningful monday for boris johnson? the british prime minister wants a new vote on his brexit deal, a so-called meaningful vote in the coming hours. his government says it has the backing of the 320 m.p.s needed to get the deal over the line. despite losing a key vote on saturday. however, the decision on whether to have a vote lies with speaker of the house john boko, and some note that it would break with parliamentary convention to have the same question be put before lawmakers twice in the same session. after saturday's defeat in parliament, mr. johnson sent separate contradictory letters to the european union. anna stewart has the details from london. >> reporter: boris johnson did send a letter to the e.u.

requesting a brexit extension to january 31st, albeit begrudgingly. he didn't sign the letter and the prime minister sent an additional one which he did sign, making clear he does not want to delay, saying it would be corrosive. it's provoked anger from the opposition. >> he may well be in contempt of parliament. he's clearly trying to undermine the first letter and not signing the letter, he's behaving a bit like a spoiled brat. parliament made a decision, he should abide by it. the idea that you sent another letter contradicting the first, it flies in the face of what parliament and the courts decided. >> reporter: on monday a court in scotland will consider whether the prime minister has broken the law. meanwhile e.u. leaders will decide whether to grant the extension and the prime minister will continue with his efforts to get his new brexit deal voted on in parliament. in a so-called meaningful vote. that's the vote that his predecessor theresa may lost three times. now boris johnson needs 320 m.p.s to back his deal.

given he doesn't have a majority in parliament, it looks too close to call whether he can reach that threshold. the government has tabled this vote for monday, but it will only go ahead if the speaker of the house allows it. he has been accused of favoring the remain side throughout the brexit saga, although he maintains he's always acted as an impartial referee. anna stewart, cnn, london. >> well, steven urlanger is the chief diplomatic correspondent in london for "the new york times." he's in brussels and joins us live. nice to see you again. >> nice to see you, rosemary. >> after prime minister boris johnson lost that key vote saturday, he is now pushing for another vote monday on his brexit deal. how likely is it, though, the speaker will allow that to happen? >> he is very hard to read. when he says he's not really in favor of remain, i'm not sure most people really believe that. i think at some point he's got

to let a vote go on. whether that happens monday or later this week, i mean, there has to be a vote. you can't stop parliament from actually voting. it looks as if boris johnson may have the votes he needs. and if he does, then he's likely to have enough votes to beat off amendments. but this parliament is so divided, and the opposition to johnson's, you know, latest version of the theresa may plan is so divided strategically that you could just end up with the usual mess, and that's what frustrates everyone. boris johnson is depending on people being sick of this and wanting to at least get past the withdrawal agreement stage. >> so what are the possible scenarios here going forward? >> well, one is john burko

doesn't let the vote go on. then you could see some kind of call for a general election which the opposition labor party doesn't want to provide. you could let him go ahead and boris johnson could lose the vote. you could let him go ahead and the opposition creates amendments attaching, for example, a second referendum to parliament's agreement. or you could, you know, just come to this place where we need another extension to kind of figure out. maybe there will be a general election, maybe there won't. we don't really know. this is the magic of parliamentary democracy right now. >> it's also deja vu, isn't it? prime minister johnson still insisting the u.k. will leave the e.u. in about ten days. how is that possible, though? is it even legal? and where does that leave those two strangely contradictory letters mr. johnson sent to the

e.u. on a brexit extension? >> well, i think it is possible in the sense that if he gets the main vote passed, then there may not be time for the supplementary legislation, and that could require a very short extension. maybe a week or so. the european parliament also has to vote for this plan, but i think that's not likely to be a big problem. and the e.u. for the moment is being silent on what it takes as a legal request for an extension under the ben act, but they don't have to do anything till, you know, after the votes in parliament or even till october 30th. so right now the drama is in the parliament. it's not in brussels. >> and we are all excited to see what unfolds monday. watching very closely. steven urlanger, many thanks as

always. >> thanks, rosemary. >> well, mick mulvaney's ukraine comments have landed him in hot water. could this be the end of the road for president trump's acting white house chief of staff? we will discuss. that's next. the new $3 little john from jimmy john's is just like our original sandwiches...only littler...so we bought a little ad...on lil jon. little johns, yeah! $3, what?! come on! let's hide in the attic. no. in the basement. why can't we just get in the running car? are you crazy? let's hide behind the chainsaws. smart. yeah. ok. if you're in a horror movie, you make poor decisions. it's what you do. this was a good idea. shhhh. i'm being quiet. you're breathing on me! if you want to save fifteen percent or more on car insurance, you switch to geico. it's what you do.

welcome back, everyone. well, u.s. defense secretary mark esper was in afghanistan this weekend. so was one of president trump's chief opponents. house speaker nancy pelosi's office said she's wrapped up an unannounced trip to the country. she met with esper and top afghan officials. pelosi also visited jordan on saturday. she led a congressional delegation and met with king abdullah, middle east policy and syria topped the agenda. the impeachment inquiry of u.s. president donald trump rolls on this week. several top diplomats are expected to testify before congress, and that includes bill taylor. he is the top u.s. diplomat in ukraine who raised concerns about the freezing of u.s. aid to ukraine. meanwhile, the president's acting chief of staff mick

mulvaney was under fire for his now infamous quid pro quo comments. cnn's white house reporter jeremy diamond has the details. >> reporter: white house chief of staff mick mulvaney continuing to play clean-up over the weekend appearing on a sunday news program to insist once again that he did not admit to the quid pro quo that he admitted to just days earlier. mick mulvaney in that thursday briefing at the white house conceded that white house security aide to ukraine was, in part, frozen over president donald trump's interests in ukraine investigating these debunked conspiracy theories related to the democratic national committee and one of their servers that was hacked during the 2016 election. but mulvaney on sunday insisting that he did no such thing. >> you again said just a few seconds ago that i said there was a quid pro quo. never used that language. there is not a quid pro quo. >> you were asked about jonathan carl, you described a quid pro quo. you said that happens all the

time. >> again, reporters will use their language all the time. my language never said quid pro quo. let's get to the heart of the matter, a list of the three things. what was i take talking about? things that it was legitimate for the president to do. >> reporter: it amounts to saying he did not say those words quid pro quo, even as he continued to once again acknowledge that the president's interests in that democratic investigation in ukraine was part of the reason for freezing that security aid. but mulvaney's performance on sunday didn't necessarily calm any nerves at the white house. a source familiar with the president's thinking telling me on sunday that the president is growing increasingly frustrated with his white house chief of staff. now the president, of course, frequently grows frustrated and these aides find themselves on shaky ground. that doesn't mean mulvaney's exit is imminent. cnn, the white house. >> a professor at the university

of essex. >> thanks for having me. >> a pretty tough week ahead for the president with both the u.s. troop withdrawal in northern syria and the impeachment inquiry taking a toll on his leadership. how damaging from both issues been for him so far and how much support is he losing within his own party? >> well, they've been terrible. and we've seen what's happened with the way the republicans have responded, hasn't been particularly good for trump. so regarding the impeachment inquiry, what's very telling is that it's not that republicans have said anything. they haven't said anything, and that's the issue. normally they come to his defense. normally mitch mcconnell is vociferously defending him. and instead he hasn't said anything at all. and then when it comes to the issue with syria, we've seen key republicans, including mitch mcconnell who put out an op-ed piece in the washington post. you also have mitt romney who has spoken out against this and

lindsey graham. key republicans in the senate have made it very clear, in addition to other republicans in the house, that his decision to pull out of syria is going to be catastrophic. so that, in addition to the fact that all the republicans are completely silent on the impeachment process, or at best, just saying the process is wrong and not being able to come to his defense isn't particularly good for trump. >> and as we just showed in our report, the president's acting chief of staff mick mulvaney who admitted last week there was a quid pro quo involving ukraine's military funds. he has since denied saying that and has been in damage control ever since. but we understand the president is losing patience with him. can mulvaney survive this? and what are the optics if he's fired? >> i don't think he can survive this because i think he was already on thin ice beforehand. there were reports that jared kushner before the impeachment

process started, wasn't a fan of mick mulvaney. now he's had this huge gaff where he admitted there was a quid pro quo and then tried to backtrack. i think the issue is that for anybody that works for trump, they are under tremendous stress at the moment and there isn't a concerted strategy or effort or team working on the impeachment process in how to defend it. instead, they are being directed by trump to say there was no quid pro quo when they're going to be asked a barrage of questions by reporters, very tough pointed questions, that are really hard to dance around when they only have this one defense. and i don't think that mick mulvaney can last much longer in this environment. temporarily trump said maybe he's going to be here a little longer because he has some confidence in him. but that performance was absolutely terrible and very damaging for the president. >> yeah, and another issue dogging the president, despite backing down on his plans to

host the g7 at his florida resort, he could still face a vote from the democrats condemning him for making that suggestion in the first place. how critical is that? >> well, he's not supposed to be able to use his presidential power and benefit from it by violating the emoluments clause and basically hosting the huge event at his golf course, which wasn't doing particularly well financially, and which they cannot prove that they went through the proper channels to investigate and ensure that there were all kinds of other options on the table, and that they then decided, no, we have to go with this doral trump golf course. they can't prove that. it looked really bad. it was very brazen because it's been going on on the heels of all these impeachment inquiries, on the fact that he made this unilateral decision to pull out of syria. and this is just another piece of the puzzle for the democrats. and so though i don't think this

is going to be the last thing we hear about, it's just one of many examples of corrupt activities of the president. >> all right. natasha lynn stead, thank you very much for joining us and sharing your analysis. appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. >> well, canada has a reputation for being a polite country, but the campaign rhetoric in the general election has been anything but polite. the challenge to prime minister justin trudeau. that's ahead. my insurance rates are probably gonna double. but dad, you've got allstate. with accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident. smart kid. indeed. are you in good hands?

welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and, of course, all around the world. you are watching "cnn newsroom" and i'm rosemary church. we want to check the headlines this hour. almost 500 troops are on the move in syria. this exclusive footage shows vehicles gathering for convoy. u.s. secretary mark esper says a withdrawal of forces will take weeks. the news comes as a u.s.-brokered cease-fire set to expire tuesday between turkey and kurdish fighters. british prime minister boris johnson wants a new vote monday on his brexit deal. his government hopes to hold a so-called meaningful vote in the coming hours. it now says it has the backing of the 320 m.p.s needed to get the deal over the line, even though it lost a key vote on saturday. chile's government says at least ten people have been killed during protests in the

capital city santiago. demonstrations over rising transportation costs turned violent over the last week. chile's senate is expected to hold a special session monday to suspend the transit fare price hike that started the unrest. well, in just a few hours from now, canadians cast their vote in a general election that is too close to call. prime minister justin trudeau is in a dead heat with conservative challenger andrew sheer. polls indicate neither will win enough seats to form a majority government. paula newton takes a look at the campaign that's been anything but predictable. >> reporter: for justin trudeau, this is new political ground. shaky ground where he now needs to tip toe around his own tainted image. >> this election isn't about me. this election is about you. >> reporter: these are the images that had jaws dropping around the world.

>> i'm disappointed in myself and apologizing to canadians. >> reporter: trudeau wore black face on at least three occasions decades ago and admitted he couldn't remember how many times he'd done it. all the more surprising that in his hometown of montreal where they take their food and their politics seriously, the forgiveness came almost as quickly as their leader's contrition. you don't believe he's a racist? >> no, i don't. i think being able to stand up in front of your country saying that this was a past time, that you're ashamed of what you've done. >> reporter: the fact is just outside of the trudeau strong hold, the island of montreal, you don't have to go far, just over to the other shore, and you can already hear the skepticism. >> i believe the party needs another leader, another face. we are not represented well internationally. >> reporter: so where do those opinions leave voters this time around? dead locked. polls are proving little better than a coin toss in predicting if trudeau or his conservative

challenger andrew sheer will be canada's next prime minister. but if he wins, trudeau is now a diminished politician, both at home and abroad. >> we are looking silly. >> reporter: vera weissmann, a newspaper editor has known trudeau for years although they don't see eye to eye politically any more. he repeats trudeau is no racist. the optics of him humiliating himself on a trip to india last year, a scandal within his own cabinet, and then the black face incident is more than many canadians can bear. >> everywhere i go, people are talk about the fact we look like the silly country. and that's a hidden issue. it hasn't been polled on, not to any great degree, but it's in people's heads. >> reporter: and yet sheer, both fiscally and socially conservative has been unable to capitalize on any of that sentiment. democrat leader jag meet singh has done marginally better

propping up a trudeau government even if sheer wins the vote. >> buckle up. it's possible for the loser to be the winner and the winner to be the loser in canadian election. >> reporter: no wonder many voters are turned off. >> for many people i imagine it's going to be a choice between the best of the worst. in eye way. >> reporter: in some ways trudeau has helped make this campaign something many canadians have in no way enjoyed, but instead endured. cnn, montreal. >> for the first time prince harry is acknowledging tensions with his brother. talk of a rift has been in the tabloids for months, especially around the time harry and his wife meghan moved out of kensington palace in may. harry was asked about it during an interview with i-tv during the couple's trip to africa. >> there's been a lot of talk in the press about rifts with your brother. how much of that is true?

>> part of this role and part of this job and this family being under the pressure that it's under, inevitably stuff happens. but we're brothers. we'll always be brothers. and we're certainly on different paths at the moment, but i will always be there for him and i know he'll always be there for me. we don't see each other as much as we used to because we're so busy. but i love him dearally. the majority of the stuff is created out of nothing. as i said, as brothers, you have good days, you have bad days. >> separately, a source says harry and meghan will take a break from official royal duties toward the end of the year after they complete their current engagements. they will divide their time between the united states and the united kingdom. u.s. federal prosecutors are expected to file new charges in the college admissions scandal.

law enforcement officials tell cnn some defendants who pleaded not guilty could face additional bribery and fraud charges. the scheme reportedly involved at least 50 people. among them celebrities, wealthy parents, and college executives. prosecutors say they made illegal payments in order to get students into prestigious universities. ten people have been sentenced so far. actress felicity huffman is in the middle of a two-week sentence for her role in the college admission scandal. the actress was spotted wearing a green jumpsuit at the california prison where she's serving time. cnn's alexandra field has more. >> reporter: actress felicity huffman, now federal inmate number 77806-112 reported this week to prison in dublin, california. a low-security lock up once dubbed by forbes magazine in 2009 as one of america's ten

cushyest prisons. it's far from the hollywood star's hollywood hills home, but close enough for her husband actor william h. macy to visit. 35 miles outside of san francisco, dublin has more than 1200 female inmates. like the rest of the prison population, huffman will wear a khaki uniform and wake up by 5 in the morning. she can buy some personal items and food at the commissary, and there is a wellness program that includes arts and crafts and team sports. the small screen star who shot the famously desperate housewife isn't the prison's first famous inmate. patty hearst was sent there in the '70s. in the '90s, the so-called hollywood maddie did time in dublin. she later described the low-security prison as anything but easy. >> a you're in a's very anti-social environment. it's very hostile. there are times when i felt like, oh, my god, i'm going to have to go to the weight pile and kill this girl and i'll be stuck here the rest of my life.

there are some scary situations. >> reporter: huffman's sentence just 14 days was handed down in a boston courtroom last month. the actress pleaded guilty in may to paying $15,000 to inflate her daughter's s.a.t. scores. in a letter to the court she wrote, in my desperation to be a good mother, i talked myself into believing that all i was doing was giving my daughter a fair shot. i see the irony in that statement now because what i've done is the opposite of fair. i have broken the law, deceived the educational community, betrayed my daughter and failed my family. huffman is one of more than 30 mostly high-profile parents facing charges in the nation's largest college admissions scandal. operation varsity blues. many have already been sentenced. others are still fighting the charges, including actress lori loughlin who could face as much as 40 years behind bars. alexandra fields, cnn, new york. >> we'll take a short break here. still to come, lebanon's

welcome back, everyone. hong kong pro democracy activists are planning a sit-in later monday. it is marking three months since a violent mob attacked protesters inside the u.n. long train station injuring dozens of people. it's the 20th week of protests. up to two weeks of relative peace, we saw some street battles in one of the city's busiest tourist districts sunday. mass groups set bonfires, vandalized buildings and threw molotov cocktails. police responded with tear gas and water cannon. lebanon's government has agreed on reforms in an effort to put an end to days of massive street protests.

the mood is beginning to change in the country, but lebanese people of all ages, backgrounds and religions promised to keep fighting. ben wideman has our report. >> reporter: it's the drum beat of revolution. banging in beruit, and across lebanon. for the fourth straight day, the protests continued. each day bigger than the day before. the atmosphere is jubilant. but the underlying grievances are real. anger over a faltering economy, officials corruption, and barely functioning basic services. 5-year-old youssef suffers from a hereditary disease. his father, an ex-soldier, can't find work and can't afford yusef's treatment. they tried to leave the country by boat with syrian refugees to

turkey. we paid 8,000 euros, says ibrahim. we sold our car, motorbike, hoping we would find something better outside. the boat sank. they barely survived. we almost drowned when he was 8 months old, ibrahim says. we risked his life to escape this disgusting country. sectarian, theft and looting. beyond the specifics of the economy, there is deep resentment toward lebanon's political and business elite, often the same. >> they have been making a lot of money since here. >> they blame dumb people. they are stealing and stealing. in the end people say no. >> reporter: the fabric of lebanon appears one. the protesters united in anger and outrage at a political system that for nearly 80 years

used sectarian divisions to pull it apart. the pressure from the street is mounting. and in just days the results. repeatedly the government here has retreated. it scrapped the what's app tax. it promised no more taxes on ordinary citizens and it's dropped the idea of an austerity budget. none of those steps, however, has had much impact on these protests. as the sun sets over beruit, the streets remain full. this long suffering country has seen flashes of hope. ben wideman, cnn, beruit. >> well, south korean teens are attached to their technology. but the government thinks it's a habit they need to break. the plan to help smartphone addicts. that's ahead. ninja foodi pressure cooker, the best of pressure cooking and air frying now in one pot, and with tendercrisp technology, you can cook foods that are crispy on the outside
