secretary of state antony blinken is in china today for a high-stakes visit, holding talk with the country's top diplomas as well as chinese president xi jinping what the two sides are saying about the critical meetings. at least eight people dead in a spring of mass shootings over just two days. new information on the victims and the suspects. and people in mississippi cleaning up after storms slammed the state. take a look, this brand-new drone video this morning showing a path of destruction and the threat is not over, tens of millions of americans at risk of severe weather today. we are following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn "news central." ♪ after high stakes talks in
6:02 am
beijing where do tensions between two global super powers go from here. u.s. blinken calls his conversations candid and constructive. >> i came to beijing to strengthen high level challenging communication, to make clear our positions and intentions in areas of disagreement and to explore areas where we might work together on our interests align on shared transnational challenges and we did all of that. >> as for president xi, he called the roughly 30-minute meeting very good, adding the two sides, quote, made progress and reached agreements on some specific issues. a major question now, which ones? here are the key points of tension, taiwan, spying, the war in ukraine and restrictions that the u.s. has placed on the sale of semi-conducting chims. let's start with taiwan. right now the island is a
6:03 am
self-ruling democracy but beijing claims it's their territory. the u.s. has vowed to stand with taiwan, a key trading partner, if china ever invaded. another flash point, spying and surveillance. blinken's trip was delayed four months after the take down of this chinese spy balloon. remember this? it was caught flying across the u.s. then there's beijing's close ties with moscow and the question of whether china would provide lethal aid in russia's war in ukraine. and finally, beijing's anger over u.s. efforts to limit the sale of semiconductor chips, chips that are a technology that's in everything from smartphones to cars. china's growing dominance in that industry a major concern of the biden administration. cnn national security correspondent kylie atwood live for us in beijing. kylie, a lot of issues as we just laid out there. what are the key headlines coming out of these talks? >> reporter: well, listen, one of the things that the secretary of state set out here in beijing
6:04 am
to accomplish was reestablishing setting up military to military channels of communication. essentially lines of communication that could be used in the case of a crisis between the two countries. that's given the fact that there have been two recent military incidents between the u.s. and china, just in recent weeks, in the south china sea, in the air, and by the sea as well, but that is not an area where he is headed back to washington with a victory. he said the chinese didn't agree to set up those channels. listen to what he told me earlier today at the press conference. >> this is also something that i raised repeatedly during this trip. i think it's absolutely vital that we have these kind of communications, military to military. that imperative, i think, was only underscored by recent incidents that we saw in the air and on the seas.
6:05 am
at this moment china has not agreed to move forward with that. i think that's an issue that we have to keep working on. it is very important that we restore those channels. >> reporter: now, we also know one of the issues that you mentioned out of the gates there was taiwan. one of the readouts from a meeting that the secretary had here made clear that chinese officials made demands when it comes to taiwan. they said that is the area that presents the most pronounced risk to u.s.-china relations. the secretary of state said at the press conference that he made clear that the u.s. has concerns about china's provocative actions when it comes to taiwan, and the united states doesn't right now support taiwan's independence, but they don't support either side taking unilateral actions that could upend the status quo currently. now, there was progress forward
6:06 am
movement on another topic and that's an issue of synthetic opioids which is a major killer of americans back home. fentanyl, the precursor chemicals largely come from china. secretary of state said that the two sides agreed to stand up a working level meeting on this, a group that can actually address this issue to stem that flow of those chemicals into the united states, and on ukraine they also addressed the war in ukraine, the secretary said that chinese officials once again said that they are not going to be sending lethal aid to russia to be used in that war, but they're still watching chinese companies incredibly closely. >> kylie atwood, thank you. it sounds like still quiet room to go on certain issues but progress made on others. john? >> with us now cnn political and national security analyst david sanger. david, secretary of state said he accomplished what he set out to do. how much of that was just being in the room with xi jinping? >> oh, i think a lot of it was, john, and the fact that xi
6:07 am
jinping saw him was a good sign that the president of china doesn't always see a visiting secretary of state, this obviously a somewhat difference in status there, and so that was an indication that, in fact, xi jinping did want to put a floor on the relationship. i think as kylie described there, and as we heard from secretary blinken during the press conference, it was sort of a mixed score card. the fact that they agreed to work together on a couple of issues that they did not specify is good. the fact that they couldn't get something as basic together as communications during a military crisis or another spy balloon incident, that's bad, because that's how accidents happen. and the big fear, john, is that these two powers as their relationship has been spiraling downward get into some kind of accident in the air, in the sea
6:08 am
that triggers a real crisis. >> you used an interesting phrase there that i want to highlight. xi jinping wanted to put a floor on the relationship, which by that i think you mean he didn't want it to get any worse between china and the united states. in terms of what got better, what got better for the united states over the last several hours? >> i think the main thing that got better is that we actually have communications. the last time that secretary blinken saw the number one foreign policy official was in munich back in february, and i remember seeing secretary blinken the next morning, and he described how he had basically sought an apology from the united states for shooting down the chinese spy balloon over american territory. well, that's not a great start. he did better this time, though it was interesting that in the statement that the chinese
6:09 am
issued they said let's say void hyping the china threat theory. so, in other words, they're pretty unhappy with this sensibility in the u.s., which is probably likely to get worse as we get closer to the presidential election, that china is a looming threat. >> david, i think there are two other governments that were watching this meeting very closely, one in ukraine, one in taiwan. what did each of those governments think about what we saw here? >> well, i think -- i'd say there were three, the last one would be one in russia because the most notable thing in the past year and a half has been the coming together of china and russia as partners, not necessarily full allies, and that is intensified as the ukraine war has gone on and that's what's got the ukrainians
6:10 am
most concerned and led to those warnings from the u.s. to china about the possibility of supplying russia with arms that they could use against ukraine. i'm sure the ukrainians were quite happy to hear a new assurance from president xi that they are not going to supply arms to russia. they are supplying -- or their companies are supplying technology that is helping russia build arms. if you are taiwan, i'm not sure much moved on the needle here. and this is the really big question, john, because we know that xi jinping has said he wants to solve the taiwan issue. that is, bring about reunification while he is still in office. he's 70, so let's say he's there for another decade, that's not a lot of time. >> what's next, david? >> well, what's next is seeing whether they can build on this and get some other cabinet
6:11 am
officials to china. the two that are named the most often are the commerce secretary, gina raimondo and the treasury secretary janet yellen, and the hope is that they are working in areas where china may see a real opportunity to reopen relations because china right now, john, is growing at 1% or 2%, not the 6% or 8% that they are accustomed so so they have a real interest in reigniting the economic relationship with the u.s. ultimately whether or not president xi comes to a big summit meeting of asian nations in san francisco, and that would be in the fall. >> we will be watching it very, very closely. david sanger, thank you so much. i think you make us understand it so much better this morning. appreciate it. rahel? well, a new video showing the catastrophic damage in mississippi this morning, this after a large tornado touched down in lowan, mississippi.
6:12 am
this drone video shows the large swath of damage through the small town, you can see homes ripped apart, roofs sent flying and trees left in sprinters. we have learned that one person was killed in the storm, nearly two dozen more injured and the threat not over yet. more tornadoes could develop today across the southeast so let's bring this our meteorologist derek van dam in the weather center. derek, in terms of what you're watching, what states are most at risk now? >> good morning, rahel. we have florida panhandle and southern mississippi, alabama, as well as central and southern georgia with the potential for severe weather, including tornadoes today. now, it's not as distinct or as widespread as what we experienced over the weekend, but as we have learned it only takes one tornado to hit a populated area to create the damage that you've seen in mississippi, also perrytown, texas, over the weekend as well. this is an updated probability map from the storm prediction
6:13 am
center, this came out literally moments ago, i was working with my producer to update this map. you see that shading of yellow, this is the probability of a tornado today, that encompasses southern alabama, mississippi and the extreme western sections of the florida panhandle, so mobile, alabama, for instance, you have a 5% probability of tornadoes anywhere around a given point that you select within that area. that's because we still have these outflow boundaries from thunderstorms ongoing across the south. a few stronger thunderstorms impacting the tallahassee region. this coming into the cnn weather late center, severe thunderstorm warning for tallahassee so prepare for the potential for 60 mile per hour winds and greater as the storm system continues. rahel? >> let's talk about some of the triple digit heat expected in parts of texas and how complicating or the stress that that then puts on the power grid. >> yeah, that is really going to put it to the test today. and that is because the triple digit heat that continued through this weekend will last right through the workweek this
6:14 am
week. so monday to friday we are anticipating over 60 record highs in the state of texas alone. now, you factor in the humidity, that's when it gets extremely uncomfortable and that's when people are going to start cranking up their air conditioners to maximum. wait until you see these feel like temperatures. in terms of actual temperatures we're 10 to 15 degrees above average. when you factor in the humidity we have the heat indices value, corp. can you say christy 115 degrees. that is what we feel like when we step outside on our exposed skin and that is why we will be testing the energy grid across the deep south. >> a lot to watch there. derek van dam, thank you. john? strong words from donald trump's former defense secretary mark heesper warning about a second trump term. a state trooper is dead, another injured when a suspect takes them on a two-hour

while watching the game. who's winning? we are, my friend. we are. welcome back. two former top cabinet officials of donald trump sounding the alarm over his bid to return to the white house. former attorney general bill barr says that the federal indictment over trump's handling of classified documents show that the former president will always put his own ego ahead of the country's interests and former defense secretary mark esper says he believes trump put the nation's military secrets and safety at risk if the allegations against him are proven. listen to what esper told cnn's jake tapper. >> based on your experiences working with the trump and the actions alleged in the indictment do you think trump can be trusted with the nation's secrets ever again? >> well, based on his actions,
6:20 am
again, if proven true, under the indictment by the special counsel, no. i mean, it's just irresponsible action that places our service members at risk, places our nation's security at risk. >> cnn's alayna treene joins us in washington. pretty striking comments. what do you make of them? >> reporter: very very striking. these are some of the starkest comments that we have heard not just from these former trump administration officials but republicans in general regarding the federal charges that the former president is facing and both mark esper his former defense secretary and his former attorney general bill barr are saying that if he is convicted in this case and the charges against him are proven to be true, that donald trump should not be president again. and i think what mark esper said is really a dire warning if donald trump is reelected for a second term and is back in the white house. he said that what donald trump did was irresponsible and it put the lives of service members at risk.
6:21 am
as you said, rahel, we also have heard some very strong criticism from former attorney general bill barr. he's repeatedly gone on the airwaves to talk about these charges and the seriousness of them and he said that the charges are damning and that donald trump is not a victim in this. let's listen to what he told cbs news yesterday. >> would he put the country at risk if he was in the white house again? >> he will always put his own interest and gratifying his own ego ahead of everything else including the country's interests. there is no question about it. there is a perfect example of this. he is like a defiant 9-year-old kid always pushing the glass toward the edge of the table defying his parents to stop him from doing t it's a means of self-exertion and exerting his dominance over other people and he is a very petty individual who is always put his interests ahead of the country's. his personal gratification of his, you know, of his ego. >> reporter: now, rahel, i think it's important to note that bill barr and mark esper were not just former trump administration
6:22 am
officials, they were cabinet-level secretaries and attorney general. i think that, you know, they also had access to some of the most highly sensitive materials that donald trump had when in office, and both of them had said that the documents that were in his possession were very classified and should have been in the hands of the national archives, should have not been taken with him to mar-a-lago. >> things getting very personal. fascinating to her ag barr call him petty. has donald trump's team reacting or responded to any of this? >> reporter: obviously donald trump's team is arguing something very different. i was in bedminster when he returned from his arraignment in miami last tuesday and spoke to a crowd of supporters at his golf club in new jersey and he said that he believed -- donald trump said he believed he was entitled to taking these documents with him and that others were not prosecuted for doing the same thing. of course, prosecutors in this case are arguing that the materials in his possession were some of the most classified
6:23 am
documents and that his unwillingness to turn them over amounts to obstruction, but i think what's really striking about this is republicans in congress as well as some of donald trump's 2024 presidential rivals are kind of leaning into what donald trump is saying and the excuses he's making for having these materials whereas mark esper and bill barr are not. i think that's why it's very interesting to hear where they differ on this from the rest of the republican party, rahel. >> alayna treene, thank you. john, if i remember correctly ag barr also said in the interview with "face the nation" that the whole legal theory that he is claiming that he could take anything is absurd. >> kind of like william barr unplugged on a sunday morning. >>est that one way to put it. a spring of mass shootings across the country n st. louis a 17-year-old was shot and killed during a party, nine other teenagers were hurt. police say one girl suffered serious spinal injuries after being trampled running from the scene. authorities say they recovered multiple weapons, including an

ar-15-style rifle and a handgun. a 17-year-old suspect is in custody. and in washington state two people were killed in a mass shooting on campgrounds near the beyond wonderland electronic dance music festival. the suspected gunman shot randomly into a crowd as he ran from the scene. officers tracked him down and arrested him. just outside chicago a juneteenth celebration took a deadly turn after police say an unknown number of suspects fired multiple rounds into the crowd. one person was killed at least 22 others were hurt. cnn's adrienne broaddus joins us from willow brook, illinois. what do they know about who did this, the victims? what are you learning this morning? >> reporter: no arrests have been made, john, and we're told multiple suspects likely fired into the crowd that was gathered in this parking lot behind me. if you look over my shoulder you will notice the entrance leading
6:25 am
to the parking lot is still blocked and police are on scene, but in that parking lot there are red solo cups, there's also a grill. i spoke with the woman who was walking along the street, she was here this weekend and she says it was a juneteenth celebration. that's what a spokesperson with the dupage county sheriff's department also shared with us, even saying deputies were on site monitoring the party. but they were deployed to another call, but returned immediately when they heard the shots fired. as you mentioned, john, 22 people were shot. one person was killed. here is how witnesses described the scene. >> out of nowhere there was like a major gun fight for like 30 seconds, i'd say 60 plus, you know, rounds and you could tell it was like two different, you know, groups of people shooting at each other. >> everybody started running. there was a man, he fell on top of me, he had a gunshot wound in his leg.
6:26 am
it was -- it was like something you wouldn't imagine. >> reporter: again, no arrests have been made and investigators are still trying to determine what led to that shooting. john? >> all right. adrienne broaddus, if we hear from officials today please keep us posted. rahel? on our radar this morning a pennsylvania state trooper has died after a shootout with a gunman. a second trooper is in the hospital fighting for his life. officials say that the suspect first shot at police vehicles parked outside a police barracks on saturday before fleeing in his truck. officers chased him and exchanged gunfire at multiple locations. the gunman was eventually shot and killed. 21-year-old eva liu a recent graduate of the university of illinois urbana champagne has been identified as the american tourist who a died in germany after she was assaulted and pushed into a ravine.

6:32 am
in ukraine both sides are claiming some success as fierce fighting rages on multiple fronts. president zelenskyy says the most intense fighting is happening in the south and the east with his troops repelling, he says, russian attacks. a russian-backed official in the zaporizhzhia region claims that ukraine has taken back at least one village in that area, but russia's ministry of defense denies that saying it has kept the ukrainian troops at bay. cnn's ben wedeman is live in the city of zaporizhzhia with the very latest. ben, you are not far from where
6:33 am
we are told some of the fiercest fighting is taking place. what is the latest? >> reporter: we're just about an hour away from the town which is the largest town so far taken by the ukrainians in this counteroffensive. now, there have been these claims and counterclaims about who controls the town, but i think at this point it's fairly clear by statements coming out of the ukrainian defense ministry that it is now in ukrainian hands. now, just to put this in perspective, john, within the last week and a half or so since this counteroffensive began the ukrainians say they've managed to liberate eight settlements or about 44 square miles. however, if you go back to last september when they launched an offensive in the kharkiv region, in about the same amount of time they were able to liberate 4,600 square miles. so clearly this offensive is
6:34 am
getting off to a slow start, it's not clear if they're still involved in probing operations. it does appear that the ukrainians have yet to commit the bulk of their forces to the offensive, but what we've seen, for instance, is that the russians are putting up a fairly solid defense. now, what we saw over the weekend was the use by the russians of a somewhat new tactic, they loaded up a t-54 tank with as many as 5 tons of explosives. it appears that they perhaps put a brick on the accelerator and just pointed it at the ukrainian lines. now, about 300 yards from those lines it hit a mine and shortly afterwards it exploded. the blast, as you can probably see from this video, was massive. now, it's not clear if the russians were able to exploit this and actually break through the ukrainian lines, but it does
6:35 am
appear that this is a new tactic being used by the russians, fairly crude in the grand scheme of things, but one that certainly is if nothing else quite dramatic. john? >> you can see it as ingenious or you could see it as a sign of weakness if the russians have to resort to us using expensive equipment like tanks on kamikaze missions. ben wedeman, keep us posted. rahel? john, authorities in kansas trying to find out who sent dozens of suspicious letters containing a white powder. right now about 100 letters have been discovered, each sent to several state lawmakers and other public officials. so far that powder has tested negative for common biological agents, this according to the kansas bureau of investigations. two state representatives have shared the letters, both were signed your secret conspirer. cnn's rosa flores joins us now. you talked to one of the lawmakers who actually received one of these letters. what did he tell you?
6:36 am
>> reporter: you know, i spoke to representative stephen owens out of cast as he says that this experience was terrifying. he says that this act was intentional and that it targeted republicans. look, he says that the return address on the envelope was -- appeared to be from a constituent. that's the reason why he opened this letter so freely. really not thinking much of it. now, he says that all of the recipients of these letters have so far been republicans. he shared a copy of this letter with cnn and he pointed to two specific sentences, he says -- he says that these two sentences could be meaningful. it says, quote, to honor your recent accomplishments, it's important not to choke on your ambitions. now, owens says that this cryptic message could be a reference to the overwhelming majority of republicans in the kansas house and senate, which
6:37 am
overrode nine vetoes by the democratic governor. now, at least two of these were very controversial, one of them defined a man and a woman, and the other stated that -- that biological-born males could not participate in girls sports. now, authorities are not saying that this is the motive here, but owens is not the only lawmaker who feels that he has been targeted. take a listen. >> there is some message, the message is somewhat unclear, but it was intended to be threatening. everybody has to be concerned. everyone has to take this and any subsequent threats like this very seriously. >> >>. >> reporter: kansas authorities say that they have tested some of these 100 letters that went out to officials all across that state and they say that the powder tested negative for
6:38 am
common biological agents. now, it's important to note, rahel, that no one has been injured, no one has been arrested and that this investigation is ongoing. >> important context. rosa flores live in houston. thank you. john? kremlin opposition leader alexei navalny in court in russia for a new trial on extremism charges. he could face decades more in prison. a heartbreaking moment for one red sox fan after his brother threw a foul ball back into the field. see how the team put a smile back on his face. one way was the red sox swept the yankees, dominated them in a weekend series. it was embarrassing to be a yankee fan. that boy certainly smiling soon after this. back when i had a working circulatatory system,

this morning kremlin opposition leader alexei navalny is back in a russian court. he faces extremism charges that his team says could extend his nine-year prison sentence by 30 years. the judge in the case has denied a request from the defense team to recuse himself, although it's not clear on what grounds they asked for the recusal. the team has complained about the format of the hearing including poor audio quality on the court's live stream. days after being released from the hospital pope francis leading sunday prayers at st. peter's square before thousands. he thanked followers for their prayers during his ordeal. the vatican says the pontiff will keep a light schedule he continues to recover from surgery. he is expected to meet with the leaders of cuba and brazil this week. and a ceasefire in sudan appears to be holding for a second day as intense fighting in the country's capital of khartoum has subsided at least
6:44 am
for now. the truce brokered by the u.s. and saudi arabia came after at least 17 people were killed including five children. this is after an air strike on a residential area in the city. we are in south sudan where a humanitarian crisis expected to get worse as hundreds of thousands flee the fighting in khartoum. >> reporter: this is africa's largest refugee crisis and you can see the conditions here for yourself. the people here are being largely ignored by the world. aid agencies are doing what they can, but it is simply not enough. south sudan is one of the poorest countries in the world, they barely have enough to feed and shelter their own returnees and they're also being asked now to absorb fleeing sudanese and other foreign nationals with limited support from the outside world. it is almost impossible.
6:45 am
with rainy season starting what you see here, it's only going to get worse. so many of those speaking to us say that they feel a sense of humiliation, that the message that they're receiving from the world, from the international community, is that they are not worthy of support. until aid arrives here in meaningful quantities, it's hard to argue with that. rank, south sudan. new this morning palestinian officials say the death toll has risen to five in a west bank city where israeli forces carried out a raid this morning. israeli officials say seven of their soldiers were injured and others waited hours to be evacuated. cnn's hadas gold is live in jerusalem. this was a chaotic night and morning. what's the latest? >> reporter: john, this was supposed to be an arrest operation to arrest two wanted suspects in an escalated into something much bigger that
6:46 am
lasted 11 hours and only wrapped up in the last hour or so. now, this took place in the occupied west bank, this has already been a hot spot for activity and regular israeli military raids, but what happened today was different, not only because of how long it was, but because of the fierce gun battle, but also the use of new levels of weaponry from both the militants and the israeli military. now, we'll start with the militants. an ied detonated under an israeli military panther command vehicle essentially taking out its underside, we're seeing dramatic videos where you see the moment what looks like to be some sort of pile or something on the side of the road blows up as this vehicle goes by. we do know that's where some of the seven israeli injuries are coming from, but also from the israelis for the first time since really the second anti-fad da from the early 2000s the israel ease used a military
6:47 am
helicopter to fire while several vehicles were rendered inoperable because of the ieds. the military say they fired on open areas to provide cover for their soldiers, but to see the site of an apache helicopter over what is a very dense urban area while these gun fights are going on, that goes to show you the level of escalation that this is reached. five palestinians were killed, at least 90 others were injured. we have the seven israeli forces injured. we know at least two of the palestinians killed have been claimed by the islamic jihad military group. at least one of the other killed was a 15-year-old boy. among the injured was a girl injured critically and a freelance photojournalist injured while he was covering what was happening, from the videos we're seeing he is clearly wearing a press vest and helmet. this goes to show you the alarming level of escalation and violence and especially the weaponry, the ied the israeli
6:48 am
military say that's something new and alarming for them. to see, again, an apache helicopter over such a dense city, that is very alarming as well. >> you are so right to raise this. we haven't seen images like this from this area in decades and it comes on the heels of an announcement from israeli officials of the construction of new settlement units, hadas. tell us about that. >> reporter: yeah, settlements in the occupied west bank, which are mostly considered illegal by most international communities, and it is something that the u.s. and israel have often come at loggerheads over. keep in mind that there are settler leaders in positions of power in this right wing israeli government. if benjamin netanyahu wants to say as prime minister something has to be given to them. 4,500 new settlement units were approved, the u.s. says that they are deeply troubled by this development. awkward timing, though, because the assistant secretary who is in charge of the middle east is arriving today for talks with the israelis. john? >> all right.

melekhovamelekhova. welcome back. now to a stunning victory at this year's u.s. open. wyndham clark captured first championship over rory mcilroy, and while the victory came on father's day, he dedicated the win to his mother, and it was clearly a special victory for wyndham, coy wire? >> yes, it was his mom lisa who first put a club in his hand, and she gave him a message that
6:54 am
he never forgot, win big. he sank a 40-foot putt to win by a birdie. that put all of the pressure on the 29-year-old from denver as people rushed to the 18th hole to see if he could maintain the one-stroke lead. wyndham clark needed a two putt to win, and he got the first pga win last month and he had never finished better than 76th, but now he is a major champion to win at 10 under and win his very first u.s. open. patrick snell caught up with him right after the win. >> it was like, wow i really feel my mom's presence this week more than any other week. and then as i was playing rounds and stuff started to go my way, it really reminded me of her, and there was multiple time when i was out there on the golf course that i thought of my mom.
6:55 am
so it is just really a special week and a lot of this is in memory of my mom. i have always thought of myself as a star and i have always dreamt of being one and to finally be at a point to be at the point of being at their level is a dream come true. >> and rahel, wyndham clark thought of giving up golf for good when his mom passed away and he didn't give up. and he went 125 pga starts without a win until last month, and he didn't give up and now he is rolling. >> it is incredible to see what he did, and what happened when he wins. and switching the gears, i know that you are a father, coy, and i hope that you had a good father's day, but a lot of people can relate to this story at the boston red sox game, and fill us in. >> sometimes as a parent, you can give the kids a big ol' hug

when drama unfolds, and this is what happened for the mulligan family. the red sox hosting yankees, and a fan nicely gives the ball that he caught as foul to young charlie. but the young fellow throws it back on the the field, rahel. and big brother jack is livid. dad puts on the cape and tries to do the best on father's day to make it right, and all parents can relate to this, the child writhing in the pain of a poorly made decision, and dad explained what happened when mom got back and he needed drinks, and then the team thankfully brought some jerseys and turned the frowns upside down. >> all right. coy wire, i thought that we had a sound bite, and so much more that i thought that we would get, but i think that the pictures tell it all. >> and then what happened? and then what happened, rahel,
6:57 am
the red sox won that game, and then they won another game yesterday. >> so you are feeling pretty good. >> there is a phrase for that in baseball and it is called sweeping the yankees, and it is the red sox sweeping yankees. and so that kid was absolutely smiling by the tend of the day and everyone was feeling good. and so progress was made, and that is how the u.s. is describing feeling in the u.s. of china's xi jinping and mending relations. boris johnson smiling and drinking and in the midst of the pandemic, and now his aides are taking a closer look.
