>> u.s. and china agreeing to start trade talks, president trump will hold off for now on imposing new tariffs on chinese import, saying he's willing to meet north korean leader kim jong un at dmz and even step over borderline into north korea, hello, everyone, welcome to brand new hour of america's news headquarters, i'm eric sean. arthel: i'm arthel neville, he's raising the stakes for a scheduled visit to dmz inviting north korean leader kim jong un to meet him there and shake his hand. north korea has not yet agreed to it but called the suggestion

interesting. kevin corke is interested and live in seoul, south korea with more, hey, kevin. >> let my say it this way the world is waiting and wondering will he meet with the president at the dmz, we do know this, we don't know if reclusive leader of kingdom of north korea will meet with the president, but we can only say this, very interesting day one way or the another. the president talked about this idea to north side and then to south side, interesting idea if it happens, makes his way here with south korea's president moon jae-in but also trip to dmz, now the president's trip to dmz will come affairly eventful g20 summit in japan where he was

asked if in fact, he would be willing to meet with chairman kim. >> we won't call it a summit, we will call it a handshake, i think he would like to do it, i don't mind doing it at all. i'm literally visiting the dmz. >> if you do meet kim jong un, would you step across the border into north korean? >> yeah, i would be comfortable doing that. >> the president speaking to our colleague john roberts in that exchange also at the summit the president spent great deal of time speaking with chinese xi jinping and the u.s. hopeful that they can get the trade talks moving again and very good news according to u.s. officials there was progress made during g20 but there was interesting question near the end of the president's news conference, arthel, he was asked if he thought china was a friend or a

foe. >> i think we will be strategic partners, i think we can help each other, in the end -- if the right deal is structured, we can be great for each other. if china would open up, tremendous market in the world and right now china is not open to the united states and we are open to china, that shouldn't have been allowed to happen. >> as you know the president is really dollar focused and in a real important nod to u.s. businesses particularly those in california, the president announced that the government will allow u.s. manufacturers to sell vital products to huawei and maybe exactly what the two sides need to keep talks moving, huwaei telecom from china which has been on u.s. blacklist. we have received the schedule for the day and so far it says, yes, the president will make his way over the dmz, does not tell us if he will in fact, meet with

the leader of north korea, kim jong un, not a big surprise that they wouldn't spell it out, one way or the other we will find out if it will take place, i will be here with you. arthel: we will be waiting for your report on that one, kevin corke. eric: the president's meeting with russian vladimir putin, our president this morning defending remark about med until upcoming presidential election, other issues discussed including how the move forward with relations with moscow. >> the end of robert mueller's investigation brings brand-new opportunity for trump national security team to reset relations with russia and to focus on some policy issues that need urgent attention, first up on the agenda arm's roll, the white

house summary of president trump's meeting with putin yesterday indicated they talked about one of the president's primary goal creating 3-way arm's control agreement with russia, china and the united states. tweeted in february of 2021. agreement that advisers have derived at too soft with russia, reporters did manage to get it in. [inaudible] >> senior officials finding safely in rear-view mirror, want to get to bread and butter issues that has dominated for years, over the coming months they say to expect more focus on nuclear capabilities as well as

on iran, the civil war in syria, russia's ongoing occupation of ukraine and the maduro regime in venezuela. most american presidents begin their administrations with sincere intentions to improve the u.s. relationship with russia, president clinton, bush and obama all made opening bids that ultimately fail today reduce lasting reconciliation but now more than 2 years into the trump presidency, trump's national security team thinks they'll finally get their bite at the russia apple. we are ache. eric: all right, gillian, thanks so much. arthel. arthel: president trump trying to appeal federal judge's ruling yesterday barring his administration from tapping $2.5 billion in military funding to help build that wall along the southern border, kristina coleman live with more, hi, kristina. >> hi, arthel, judge in oakland ruled in favor of california attorney general javier becerra

who led coalition of attorneys general, becerra tweeted yesterday, stopped illegal money grab to divert 2.5 billion of unauthorized billion for project as we showed all we have succeeded in building constitutional crisis threatening harm to california, the money would have funded building sections of his wall in california, arizona and new mexico, that construction could have started as early as this monday, today at press conference at the end of g20 summit the president called the judge's decision on the wall disgrace, he plans to appeal the ruling and said it shouldn't have been made in the first place, also trump delayed deportation raids that were set to start last weekend in hopes democrats can reach bipartisan immigration deal. as of now they will proceed with the raids, congress passed humanitarian aid bill yesterday but the president says it doesn't address asylum reform

like he wants. >> i think she was given too much credit for what she did, wasn't that outstanding and i think probably he was hit harder than he should have been hit, but i thought he was hit actually harder. >> president trump says those raids will start some time after the july 4th holiday, said to target about 2,000 families in 10 different u.s. cities including right here in los angeles, san francisco and chicago. arthel. arthel: okay, kristina coleman, thank you. eric. eric: questions of utah after university of utah student found dead, not yet clear how the suspect and the victim knew each other, matt finn live in salt lake city with the horrific case, matt. >> this is the suspect's home that they recovered some of

mckenzie lewis belongs and even some of her flesh from the property, neighbors say that in the days after mckenzie went missing, the suspect was lighting fires and the fires created a stench that hit them in the face, detectives have wrapped up the property and salt lake city police department tells fox news that since murder suspect's arrest the apartment has submitted more evidence from this property to crime lab but now family, friends and neighbors are left with trying to process the unfathomable act. >> no one saw this coming from this guy and i felt very betrayed and blindsided by him and his behavior, his actions. >> we now know the murder suspect was previously accused

of rape but the adult female did not pursue charges and also contractor in utah telling fox news that the murder suspect recently asked him to build a sound-proof room with hidden room in basement. contractor said he was weirded out and said, no, expected to be charged with aggravated murder and aggravated and first appearance in court sometime early next week and so far mother and father of mckenzie lewis have not spoken out, you can only imagine what they are going through, it's not clear why mckenzie met up with this murder suspect but police say cell phone records do indicate they were communicating and they both ended up meeting at a park, not far from here at 3:00 o'clock in the morning last monday. eric. eric: just oh -- so tragic. how will that play out in the campaign trail, we will take a

[inaudible]

>> eric: president trump receiving criticism for appearing to take light hearted tone during the discussion with vladimir putin when they brought up election meddling with russia, that at the g20 summit in japan. today the president says the russian leader continues to deny that russia interfered with our election despite the findings of the redacted mueller report, cia and other intelligence agencies. >> we talked about it, you know we talked about it before, you know he denies it tolely by the way, how many times can you get somebody to deny something, he has in the past denied it. he's denied it also publicly, but we talked about it, we talked about a lot of other things. eric: let's bring in judy miller, adjunct policy research and pulitzer-prize winning journalist and author and fox news contributor, what do you make president trump seemingly

believing vladimir putin that russia did interfere in our elections. >> you put finger on major problem that we have seen with our own eyes at the g20 meeting, you're talking about an american president who choses to believe vladimir putin, authoritarian killer, over findings of the american intelligence community and makes light of robert mueller's key conference and robert mueller reminded the people of what that was, systematic and serious meddling in the last presidential election and every indication according to american intelligence that vladimir putin

intend to do the same thing in 2020, so for the president to joke and to make light of it and to say, oh, he denies it and we've talked about it is just the latest outrage from this president who is supposed to be contending with a lot of russian outrages, let's just remember vladimir putin was barred from this meeting in 2014 because of his country's and invasion of the ukraine, so the fact that not only he's in the room today but the president, our president feels that it's all right or appropriate to joke about the mueller commission findings and to denigrate reporters as fake news and to commiserate with vladimir putin over the problems that we, reporters, pose in fake news is really, really unacceptable. eric: how about those who would say, he has to get along with putin, president obama didn't

really do enough to stop interference, in fact, president obama walked up on the side and very informally told the president putin to knock it off but that isn't much more of a response from the president gave. >> i think that president obama clearly did not act quickly enough or harshly enough once he was presented with the intelligence that indicated the extent of the breath of russian meddling, but president obama is no longer president, people who voted for trump expect him, expect him to challenge the president of russia on meddling in our elections, if he does not, how can vladimir putin take donald trump seriously when he raises the issues that he says they talked about which is arm's control, and ukraine, the other issues for which russia is

responsible, by the way, the invasion of ukraine, the assistance to great many of america's foes and rivals, there is a lot of ground to cover the way to do is not yuck, yuck at meeting with vladimir putin and undermine american intelligence, i just think that most foreign policy analyst, be they republicans or democrats are really unhappy and frankly appalled by this kind of behavior. >> and what does this do in putin's mind in dealing with very important issues that you just brought up, russian interference in ukraine, russian interference in the elections, syria, seated russia and tehran as well as other issues because russia is not just a rival but a hard-line adversary? >> absolutely, it is virtually an invitation to vladimir putin to continue conduct and activity that led to the mueller report

and that really united republicans and democrats for a brief minute in an effort to find out the extent of that and what happened and whether or not it affected the outcome of our election. the technological ability to meddle is getting better, better by the day and if we don't do something about it as a nation, how can we even imagine that our future elections are going to be free and fair and really reflect the will of the american people? this goes to the heart of the democracy and that is not something that an american president should be joking about at any meeting overseas. >> finally, copy of constitution, amendment number 1, says congress shall make respecting establishment of religion, free exercise therefore or freedom of speech or of the press, you served 85

days in jail, many woman have died for this constitution, you served your time on principle of the free exercise of journalism in this country, one minute, your thoughts on what the president did? >> i think that that was particularly painful for me and for other journalists who have paid a much, much higher price than i did for trying to do what we are supposed to be doing, eric, this is let the american people and their publics know what their government and powerful corporations and entities are doing that they don't want the american people or other people who live in free democracies to know about, that's our mission and to denigrate us and, yes, we make mistakes but to denigrate us as fake news and portrayers of fake stories with a russian president who has killed people and has reporters in jails is yet another outrage. i mean, i do not understand what

happens when the president goes overseas, we expect him, he can criticize us at home but at least overseas he should stand up for american values and as you pointed out in the american constitution, free press is one of those american values and american guaranties. eric: judy miller, as always, thank you. arthel. arthel: a judge blocking construction to have border wall, a decision that is set for another appeal, panel will be next to discuss the situation at the border. now that you know the truth...

eric: democratic candidates back on campaign trail following this week's debates, senators elizabeth warren and klobuchar addressing rainbow push coalition, that's in chicago, senator bernie sanders is marching with supporters at pride parade in new hampshire, mark meredith following where they are and what they are doing over this weekend, he's in washington, hi, mark.

>> hey, there, eric, a lot going on because 2020 candidates out on campaign trail looking to gain momentum after this week's debate, california senator kamala harris raised $2 million after debate, harris received a lot of attention after criticizing front runner former vice president joe biden about past use on desegregation by busing, here is what harris said thursday night. >> you also worked with them to oppose busing and, you know, there was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public school and she was bussed to school every day and that little girl was me. >> but after the comments some people online began talking harris with race and citizenship, fellow democrat elizabeth warren came to harris' defense online from elizabeth w.

attacks on harris are racist and ugly. it's within power and obligation of tech companies to stop the vile lies dead in the tracks. we are also watching former vice president joe biden out on trail, he just racked up fundraiser in california, he's got another one tonight in seattle, the candidate trailing biden in second place is vermont senator bernie sanders, he's been out in new hampshire, our cameras were there as sanders marched at gay pride parade as 3 other democratic hopefuls were in chicago speaking to rainbow push coalition, among those, elizabeth warren who discontinued her plan to eliminate income inequality, here is what she had to say. >> i have proposed a two-cent wealth tax on the richest fortunes in this country. two cents. [applause] >> everything over $50,000,000.02, we can provide universal child care for every one of our babies age 0 to 6.

wewe are waiting for the latest polls to make sure debate shifted momentum, debate, eric, next one in michigan at the end of july. eric: a lot of people would be watching like to last one. arthel. arthel: >> if we had walls up, the father and beautiful daughter that drowned, the rio grande is very calm, moments where it's calm and can become violent, if they thought it was hard to get in, they wouldn't be coming out, so many lives would be saved. >> legal setback after federal judge bans parts of the wall with $2.5 billion in military funding, president trump vow to go immediately appeal the ruling and renewing his threat to conduct ice raids in major

cities, let's bring in panel, an vogal and scott, former dc democratic party chair, good to see both of you. >> good afternoon. >> what is the judge saying with this decision and do you consider this a setback? >> so, what the judge is focusing on is balance between congressional authority between spending and the executive branch ability to direct the spending. the judge is right that that least congress does generally speaking have the power of the purse, the issue is once they decide how much money is going to be spent they don't actually have absolute control of how the executive spends that. i think that appeal would ultimately be successful. the executive branch has wide

authority, congress, the importance feature congress has the ability to say explicitly you shall not spend money for whatever purpose they want, they could explicit explicitly that the president cannot spend money on wall construction, they have not said that and ultimately i will feel confident that the judge's decision will be reversed. arthel: how do you see it? >> he's absolutely right about congress. has absolute authority to tell the president how to spend money through the budget. what happens here is another element to this, the president knows he can't reprogram money for military pay and training which is what he's trying to do and completely put that in another bucket and say i'm going build the wall because it's a national emergency, the court also looked at whether this national emergency that the doj argued for, whether it was a real emergency or not and -- and the court ultimately ruled that

congress has got -- you can't go against congress, how they told you to spend the money but if you do, you want to say it's a national emergency, you to prove that it's a a national emergency and so many of us know that over 2 years of saying it's an emergency of doing nothing including announcing that it was going to be -- he was going to use emergency funds to do this and he could have waited, that argument lies in the face of own statement, including during campaign and this federal judge sided that in the opinion, that's going to go to the ninth circuit, the ninth circuit has been no friends to donald trump and we have to continue to look at it. >> what was missing in the argument presented by the trump administration, rewrite your paper and give you passing grade. >> they did not give him enough to proof or convince him rather that this was a real emergency and that that trump congress'

ability to tell you you can't reprogram money, you can reprogram money within a certain segment of spending but you cannot completely reprogram money, say it's an emergency, i will shift it to a wall, a building project when this money was designated for military pay and training, that's nonsensical in and of itself. you will take $2.5 billion and take it away for military pay and take it away from training of our young men and women who are defending the constitution all over this world so you can build a wall that -- that many know and feel and experts say isn't going to stop immigration illegal immigration because they're not coming here just to get by over a wall, they are coming here for the american dream and they are escaping poverty and war savage countries of theirs and he's got military on the border, he's got extra ice folks there and they are still coming, he's got negative

rhetoric, that's not what's sending them to america, sending them to america is escaping their home, we need to work with those south american countries to make them stronger to deincentivize these people from trying to leave and come to america illegally. arthel: alex, do you want to respond in all of that? >> a couple of things, on the issue of whether or not there's an emergency the fact that the president may have talked about this issue going back to his campaign doesn't make it any less of an emergency, legally speaking the president has very wide authority, i feel confident that they will see it in terms of declaring what is and what is not an emergency, on the political side, the truth is numerous people including the obama administration has now said this is an emergency, the president is likely to be on really solid ground there and once you get to that then you're joust focusing on the reprogramming question, it's interesting, we have seen this a number of times in the various

court challenges, immigration, on the so-called muslim ban, the immigration does something and goes to court and tends to wind up in ninth circuit and then the administration comes back and correct defects and whether it's another circuit, supreme court or even back to ninth circuit ultimately prevails and i think that's what you're likely to see happen here. >> here is one thing that you can't get around, alex -- arthel: i'm sorry, scott, i'm hitting a hard break here. >> okay. okay. arthel: i know that you have a lot to say. >> i will tell alex in green room. arthel: thank you so much. >> thank you. arthel: president trump planning to visit the dmz and inviting kim jong un to join him, so will there be a meeting and if so will that help negotiations of nuclear program?

>> might happen tomorrow, i don't know that it will but it could happen, i think he would like to do it, i don't mind doing it at all. i'm will the rally visiting the dmz. eric: president trump making offer to meet kim jong un at demilitarized zone tomorrow. dmz with narrow strip of land between north and south korea, if the two leaders do meet, waiting for kim's final decision, won't be a summit, more of a hello and handshake type, would that be appropriate, security expert for mit security's program. what do you make of schit-chat, -- chit-chat, what do you think this would really accomplish? >> on the one hand it doesn't change fundamentals, we are at a standstill, we have been on standstill since failed summit

in hanoi. no real progress. you can say that reflect differences in the countries' interests, bargaining positions, that meeting won't change any of that but i will say, eric, some folks who thought those kim empty handed on the long train ride back to hanoi lost faith, if that's the case, perhaps the president reaching out to him, inviting him to meet and actually -- this is the thing to watch for going forward, if this thing happens to see if president trump does what president moon did in dramatic moment when he stepped across dmz into north korean territory, will mr. trump do that, well, you know, maybe that doesn't change the fundamentals but that may give kim or excuse to start up again so might help jump-start negotiations, i assume that's what this is about. it's a bit of theater intended to get things moving again.

>> what would it mean if the president of the united states took the leap, small step for one president but giant leap, maybe for the negotiations when we are still typically at war and korean conflict with so many american men and women, when would they step over the line? >> well, it wouldn't be the first time a president visited and i put that parenthesis, i think it's going to be, you know, it's going to be inclined to do that. critics will come and say, that's not the way diplomacy works, we don't give up presidential visits for free, there's got to be progress here and tangibles and then the president would historically speaking, president would make a trip to country that's been adversary, will that matter in the end, i don't -- i think a

year from now, 2 years from now no one will remember. >> part of the way he operates he flips everything around and it could give kim jong un an opening perhaps to say, okay, let's now since we had this in terms of saving face which is so important in the culture, opening u.s., but let me bring something else up and that's the group of senators who suggested this past week pas the otto warm bier act, the tough act that really goes after the banks and it is bipartisan, pat toomey, let me get that there, gives companies a choice, you do business with the united states or north korea but not both, kim jong un's pursuit of nuclear weapons poses threat to the united states and/or allies in asia, few good options that affect change, one is to apply crippling economic sanctions but leave regime with no alternative

but abandon nuclear ambitions, the brink act represents flog this effort here is senator chris saying we have to get tougher, not nicer with north korea. >> senator toomey and i and colleagues on bipartisan basis believe we need to keep on maxing economic pressure if we want to keep kim jong un's attention and achieve our goal and right now the sanction regime is like a sip, has lots of holes in it and until we plug holes we will not achieve goal of maximum pressure. >> is this like good cop, bad cop, the president wants to shake his hand and in capitol hill they are saying no in. >> might be functionally as a result of good cop and bad cop, i don't think by intention, i certainly don't think the president -- you know, there's a lot of sanctions on north korea right now, there's been for a long time and there's always new

sanctions and for the most part they find ways to beat the sanctions, it's a game. i did a long study on this with my colleague john at harvard, sort of a mouse game. eric: what did you find? >> but i don't think at the end of the day, the president is going make -- going to give sanctions relief or not, mostly on the issue of progress on the nuclear issue, that's going to be the driver but i applaud the congress to keeping spotlight on human rights and otto warmbier strategy. i think that's valuable and sort of make sanction's decisions based on negotiations with chairman kim. eric: quickly, finally, how do you think this could eventually be resolved, do you think kim will ever give up nuclear weapons, do you think they'll ever be any light at the end of this continuing dark tunnel? >> well, i think people are

skeptical about that and they doubt it, some people say it will never happen, as we know, i never say never on north korea, he's the leader, the leader changes his mind and things could be different, it could be a new leader, he can die, what you want to do is keep pressing the possibility and in doing so maybe one day you'll get success but even if you don't get success today, there are other advantages, it reduces the risk of war, helps manage the situation, you know, no nuclear missile tests right now, so i think you keep pressing that and rather than giving in to skepticism, you make them -- you sort of force them to respond to you and say, okay, here are proposals if you're serious, you need to respond to proposals and you test their willingness, i think that's the way you do it. eric: there has been progress on nuclear issue some or none on human rights, we will continue that as always, thanks, jim. >> thanks, eric, good to see you. eric: arthel.

areas on high alert, across the country some parts, stores have been closed and people are asked to take special care of elderly in the country, other countries across europe as well suffering unusually high temperatures, in spain much of the country on high alert, several areas considered to be high risk and in italy the demand for electricity is causing power problems, high demand of electricity, also here in uk, the hottest day of the year so far with forecasters say warmest day in 40 years, record here but not quite as warm as france, the people have been out enjoying the weather a little bit in beaches and parks, temperatures are set to drop a little from tomorrow say forecasters but they are warning that the heat wave is not over yet and those

weather experts are blaming climate change for the record temperatures and they are warning there could be more to come predicting that 2019 may be one of the hottest years in around the globe, back to you. eric: christopher joins us now with the forecast on this side of the pond, hi, christopher. >> hey, there, we are talking about the heat for sure in and around the east coast and back to the west, you can see the cues of orange and west, continues to build over the next couple of days as you can see here, bubble of air that's continuing to heat up and there's more where that came from because of that ridge of high pressure across center part of the country, we have advisories popping up across the midsection, iowa, back towards nebraska, including sioux falls, heat watches, excessive heat and you really need to drink plenty of fluids and keep in mind being

know his sacrifice. luis alvarez spent three months at ground zero searching for survivors and remains after the terror attacks. he was diagnosed with cancer linked to toxins he breathed in. he was a detective, marine and father of three boys. he was 53. his family said he was at peace, proud of his fight for the 9/11 victims compensation fund which was running out of money and cutting benefits with 19,000 claims still pending. he told fox news he didn't hesitate when the call came in 18 years and ago knew he would leave his children fatherless when the final curtain came but he needed to fight one more time before he could go in peace. >> i should not be here with you. but you made me come. you made me come because i will not stand by and watch as my friends with cancer from 9/11, like me, are valued less than

anyone else because of when they get sick, they die. >> reporter: alvarez may get his dying wish after all. the bill to reauthorize the fund has 45 co-sponsors and shut pass. after his testimony, alvarez gave his police badge to mitch mcconnell who agreed to vote on the bill this summer. politicians and first responders are vowing to never forget his legacy, saying he fought fearlessly for the lives of brothers and sisters who answered the call in the city's darkest hour. the entire city mourns his loss, his fight is ours to finish. more than 50,000 people have gotten sick from the toxins at the world trade center. funeral arrangements will be a announced later this week. eric: god bless, detective alvarez and all of his 9/11 colleagues and glad that congress will be doing

something. thank you. we start a new hour with president trump extending a bold invitation to north korean leader kim jong un as the president has arrived in south korea to meet with president moon there. all of this of course coming as the u.s. and chin agreed to reon trade talks, likely to be welcomed big-time by wall street on monday morning. welcome to a brand-new hour of america's news headquartersism eric shawn. arthel: i'm arthel neville, a pivotal point as the g-20 with both sides backing off any new tariffs while trade negotiations continue. president trump touting his meeting with chinese president xi as, quote, better than expected. the focus now shifts to north korea as the world waits to see if kim jong un will accept the president's offer to meet him at the demilitaryized zone.

>> kim jong un was very receptive. he responded and so we'll see. because tomorrow we're going to the dmz. i said while i'm there, i'll shake his hand. we get along. there's been no nuclear tests. there's been no long range ballistic tests, gave us back our hostages which was great and a lot of good things are happening over there. arthel: white house correspondent kevin cork is live in seoul, south korea with the latest on this story. kevin. >> reporter: good to be with you. it's not known whether or not kim jong un will make his betweehisbetween the dmz to meeo president. the prospect of him going to the dmz overshadowed what happened in asia, not just the g-20 but certainly the president's visit here to seoul. still, there is plenty of work to be done and a lot to be decided as to whether or not he decides he wants to take the president up on his offer.

now, if the president does make it to the dmz, he'll be the latest in a long line of american leaders who have done as much, including presidenting reagan and clinton and bush 43 and obama. bush 41 went there while he was vice president. >> it's going to be very interesting. >> [ indiscernible ] >> we're going to see. they're working things out right now. thank you for being here. >> [ indiscernible ] >> we have, yes. >> reporter: going to be very interesting, so says president trump. meanwhile, over the g-20 that i mentioned a moment ago which happened in osaka, japan, the president's visit as you can imagine centered on trade and how soon might the u.s. and china work out their trade differences. and while the president professed progress had been made, he also admitted that he was weary of beijing's previous

trade talk tactics. >> sure, that could happen. but we're holding on tariffs and they're going to buy farm product, so you he know, -- but that could happen. this doesn't mean there's going to be a deal but they would like to make a deal, i can tell you that. and if we could make a deal, it would be very historic event. >> reporter: president was asked if he was concerned that the chinese might goat the edge of the deal and back off. meanwhile, also at the summit we learned that the president said that he not only would not increase tariffs on china, at least for now, as long as the negotiations are making progress, he said that telecom giant huawei would be able to still pick up material from u.s. manufacturers. that's not playing so well on capitol hill including a major player from the president's very own party, marco rubio tweeting this not long ago, if president trump has bargained away the

recent restrictions on huawei, we'll have to get those restrictions put back in place through legislation. he ends the tweet by saying this. and it will pass with a large veto-proof majority. strong words there from marco rubio. okay. so what happens next? we're still hopeful that we'll find out before it all happens if kim jong un will in fact meet the president over at the dmz. right now we don't know. we're watching our phones and watching anxiously as we look forward to what could be a historic meeting. i'll be here for you. for now, back to you. arthel: we'll probably see you later on at some point in this day, our day, your night. we'll have special overnight coverage of the president's trip to the dmz and potential meeting with kim jong un. jon scott will be live starting at midnight eastern right here on the fox news channel. eric: and another significant meeting for the president at the g-20 summit, came when he sat down with russian president vladimir putin.

the two leaders discussed a number of issues including arms control as the trump administration tries to jump-start u.s. slas/russia rels following the conclusion of the mueller report. gillian turner has more from washington. >> reporter: administration officials tell fox news the end of robert mueller's russia investigation brings a brand-new opportunity for the trump national security team to reset relations with russia and to focus on some policy issues that need urgent attention. first up on the agenda, arms control. the white house summary of president trump's meeting with putin yesterday indicated that talked about one of the president's primary goals, creating three-way arms control agreement with russia, china, and the united states. such a three-way deal would replace president obama's new start treaty, slated to expire in february of 2021. an agreement that john bolton and other advisors have long derided as too soft on russia, something not on the white house

readout of the meeting with putin, election interference. reporters did manage to get it in. >> mr. president -- [ indiscernible ] >> reporter: senior officials insist that now with the russia investigation findings safely in the rear view mirror, the national security team wants to get back to the bread and butter issues that come late inned u.s./russia relationship for years. over the coming months, they say to expect more foes cuss on nuclear capability as well as on iran, the civil war in syria, russia's ongoing occupation of ukraine, and the maduro regime in venezuela. most american presidents begin their administrations with sincere intentions to improve the u.s. relationship with russia. presidents clinton, bush and obama made opening bids that failed to produce lasting reconciliation. now trump's national security

team thinks they'll finally get their bite at the russia apple. eric. eric: gillian, thanks so much. arthel: no rest for democrats running for the oval office. today, several candidates are back out on the campaign trail, following the first democratic debates of the 2020 presidential season. senators amy klobuchar, elizabeth warren and bernie sanders and other white house hopefuls looking to build upon their performances in miami. mark meredith is live from washington with more. mark. >> reporter: hey, there, arthel. the first debates are behind us. now we're waiting to see if and how the polls may have changed after voters heard from the candidates directly. today, several of the presidential hopefuls are back on the stump, senators amy klobuchar and elizabeth warren along with tulsey gab earth were speaking at the rainbow coalition forum. >> this is why i'm running for

president, to end the new cold war and arms race, make sure our precious resources, your taxpayer dollars, are going back into investing and serving your needs. >> reporter: former vice president joe biden spoke at the same event in chicago on friday. it was there biden defended his stance on civil rights. he repeatedly mentioned his close relationship with president obama, trying to show voters a consistent contrast ft trump. >> our children are watching. barack was the president, our kids not only could but did look up to. look, what presidents say matters. >> reporter: california senator kamala harris says thursday's debate brought in new supporters to her campaign, her campaign says it raised over $2 million in the 24 hours following thursday's event. the campaign says the majority of those donors were first time

contributors. harris will be marching in a gay pride parade in san francisco on sunday. former hud secretary julio castro is celebrating after his first debate performance. he was speaking to supporters last night in austin. he said the debate gave the chance to introduce himself to a national audience. >> i showed that i can go in there and make my case and when i'm challenged, i can hold my own. that's what we're going to have to do and more if we're going to beat donald trump. >> reporter: while this may be a week for a break for many americans, thanks to the 4th of july, we know several candidates plan to remain on the trail. joe biden has multiple stops scheduled in iowa for the fourth. never a dull moment this time of year. arthel: ain't that the truth, mark meredith. thank you. eric: we have a fox news alert. new developments in the horrifying killing of university of utah student mackenzie lueck. police arrested 31-year-old ayoola ajayi in her kidnapping and murder.

they say a search of the suspect's house did uncover evidence that links him to the victim. matt finn is live in salt lake with the latest on this investigation. matt. >> reporter: eric, investigators spent at least two days at this property of the murder suspect, removing all types of evidence. even doing digs in the backyard and unfortunately they say they found some burned belongings of mackenzie lueck and also her flesh. and today the salt lake city police department tells us that since the murder suspect's arrest yesterday, the department has submitted even more evidence to the crime lab and we talked to some neighbors here who initially questioned if this suspect was capable of such a heinous murder and now they tell us they're stunned. >> honestly, i don't know, because the shock hasn't completely settled in yet about what happened so close to my home, in our community. it's unsettling. no one ever saw this coming from

this guy. and i felt very -- the murder suspect ayoola ajayi was also accused of rape about five years ago here in utah but the adult female did not pursue charges according to police. the murder suspect denied ever seeing a picture or an online profile of mackenzie lueck but police say they found pictures in his phone and both of their phone records indicate that they ended up at a park not far from the house at about 3:00 a.m. last monday. the murder suspect expected to be charged with aggravated murder, desecration of a human body and also aggravated kidnapping and that aggravated kidnapping charge is interesting because it likely indicates that the murder suspect used some type of weapon and was holding mackenzie lueck against her will at some point. eric. eric: she arrived at the salt lake airport following a funeral of a grand parent and texted her

mother she was safe and home and apparently went off to meet this man at 3:00 in the morning at that park. just heart-breaking. matt, thank you. arthel: another immigration setback in federal court for president trump, this as congress passes a spending bill to help address the humanitarian crisis at our southern border. ♪ ♪

arthel: a setback for president trump's efforts to fund a wall along the southern border, a federal judge in california blocking the administration from using $2.5 billion in military funding to build segments of the wall. the president saying today that he plans to appeal the ruling. christina coleman is here, she's joining us live from our los angeles bureau with all the details. hi, christina. >> reporter: hi, arthel. today president trump called the judge's ruling a disgrace. he also said he's going to proceed with a controversial deportation raids that got a lot of back dislash from democrats. a judge ruled in favor of california's attorney general who led a coalition of owners generaattorneysgeneral that clag

was unlawful. as we showed, all they succeeded in building was a constitutional crisis, threatening immediate harm to california. congress passed a $4.6 billion humanitarian aid bill thursday. the head of the department of homeland security says the funding will be put to good use. >> we intend to move very quickly to apply this funding to support our teams managing the crisis on the border and enhancing conditions for families and children while expediting the transfer of unaccompanied children to facilities at health and human services. >> reporter: president trump says it doesn't address asylum reform. trump delayed the deportation raids that were set to start this weekend in hopes that democrats could reach a bipartisan immigration deal. now he says the raids will still happen. >> we will be removing large

numbers of people. people have to understand, yes, the laws are -- >> in a week. >> yes, starting in a week, of after -- sometime after july 4th. >> reporter: as for the deportation raids, here in los angeles, the democratic mayor already said that lapd won't play any role in them. los angeles is of course a so-called sanctuary city. arthel: thanks for the update. eric: this comes as congress passed a $4.6 billion emergency spending bill to try to address the crisis at the southern border that happening this week. this comes after democratic house leaders try to continue their efforts to amend the legislation, some of them wanted to t get more restrictions and oversight provisions. the measure which the president is expected to sign will pump billions of dollars into the budget to several agencies that have been overwhelmed by the influx of central american

migrants we've been seeing at the border. will it help? john fritzy join us, white house correspondent for usa today. will the bill alleviate the suffering and harsh conditions that we've been witnessing in those centers and also, importantly, potentially help stop the influx. >> i think the white house certainly hopes it will help with the humanitarian issue on the border. i don't know that this amount of money is going to stop all of the problems that the administration has. i would just say, i'm glad we're talking about this. i think with all of the news happening this week, with the president in japan for the g-20 and the democratic debate over two nights that this story got lost in the mix. but i would argue that of these various stories, this may be the most important one to watch, particularly as congress heads toward a deadline this fall to fund the government. this dynamic of sort of rift between moderates and liberals in the democratic party will be hugely important to watch. this is also welcome to the

majority moment for nancy pelosi, right. this is the same sort of issue that speaker john boehner and paul ryan dealt with in their caucus, now it's on nancy pelosi's plate. eric: it really was a bitter split. tell us more about that. the progressives and those more on the left, they were really mad about this deal. they're against it and they said they're going to continue to try to fight against it. >> that's right. i think aside from the significance of the crisis at the border and aside from whether or not this money will help alleviate some of the humanitarian issues at the border, this is significant because it really sort of represents a split within the party between those who want to work with trump on certain issues and those who don't want to work with him at all, i think. and that's sort of a fight for the soul of the democratic party right now. i think there were progressive democrats that wanted to see more protection. they would argue more protection for children and families in

some of these facilities. there have been numerous reports about conditions at these facilities, obviously there was this terrible photo of oscar martinez and his daughter which came in the middle of this debate. i think you had progressives looking at this and thinking it would be an opportunity to get some more protections for these families. i also think you had moderates who felt like, look, they had to get something done, particularly before they pulled out of town for the july 4th recess. eric: here's what the bill calls for, $1.3 billion for the facilities, $1.2 billion to address the issue with the children, what's going on with the children there, including improving medical care, hygiene for example, we heard about them not being able to brush their teeth and other horrendous stories. let me show what you the wall street journal editorial has about all this. house progressives took this noncontroversial bill hostage, a sensible political culture would move to fix the main cause of the border chaos, the pro verse

asylum incentive encouraging people to risk life and limb to enter the u.s., given how democrats were reluctant to address even the humanitarian problems, there's little cause for optimism. do you see any possibility that there could be a shift and a change in the asylum laws the president has been requesting? >> i think it's probably unlikely. i do think there's been an interesting dynamic playing out during this discussion over this legislation and that is that president trump and speaker pelosi have been talking. there have been several conversations that both sides have reported on. you may have noticed that president trump this morning said he had another conversation with speaker pelosi about the usmca, the trade deal that the white house desperately wants congress to pass. we had vice president mike pence on the hill negotiating some of these points. that's a very different dynamic than what we saw earlier in the year during the government shutdown and in the immediate aftermath of the shutdown, when

the president and pelosi weren't talking to each other at all. so these two are clearly rivals and you i don't know that it's going to lead to some sort of big breakthrough on immigration. for right now, there does appear to be interest to keep a conversation going. eric: that would give us cause for optimism that something in washington can be done. john fritzy at usa today, thanks for being with us this afternoon. the u.s. and china heading back to the bargaining table on trade. president trump suggests that he will lift a part of that ban on that chinese tech company, huawei, while some lawmakers, though, are warning against the move. hey, who are you? oh, hey jeff, i'm a car thief... what?! i'm here to steal your car because, well, that's my job. what? what?? what?!

giant. this after mr. trump met with chinese president xi at the g-20 summit and the two nations agreed to restart stalled trade talks. >> what we've done in silicon valley is incredible, actually and nobody's been able to compete with it and i've agreed and pretty easily i've agreed to allow them to continue to sell that product, so american companies will continue. and they were having a problem, the companies were not exactly happy that they couldn't sell because they had nothing to do with whatever it was potentially happening with respect to huawei. arthel: dr. rebecca grant is here, a national security and military analyst, international relations expert. dr. grant great to have you here. >> hi. arthel: i want to start with the president's decision to hold off on new tariffs on china. was this the right move? >> well, i think this was a tactical move, arthel, it's very similar to what we saw happen in

december after the last g-20 summit. he goes to the g-20, gets in a generous spirit, met with xi and decided to hold off on increasing the tariffs. that still leaves a number of tariffs in place. so he's done this as a tactical move to help get started on talks towards that bigger chinese trade deal that both he and xi are looking for. arthel: right. but there are reports that xi said no more talks unless you lift some of those restrictions on huawei. so i ask you, does president trump still have the stronger hand or is his hand weaker and will china keep playing a game and changing the game and banking on, perhaps, president trump not getting re-elected? >> well, this is just the beginning with huawei and president trump kind of made a canny move back in may when he restricted u.s. companies from selling things like microchips into the huawei supply chain. so all that he's done right now,

i understand, is to let companies like micron and intel and others in silicon valley go ahead and resume sales of micro chills. that still leaves all the congressional law that bans huawei from national security products, that's all still in place. so trump kind of got himself in this place where he could back down just a little teeney bit and meet xi's demand in a very narrow category. so i think right now, just a very tactical move on his part. arthel: so is huawei still a national security threat? >> yes. huawei is a huge national security problem. secretary pompeo says that huawei is an instrument of the chinese government. now, huawei denies it. they're a huge company. the fact is, arthel, they are owned by a holding company that is owned by a trade union, which is completely subject to the chinese communist party. so there are two problems. one is holes in their software

and firmware. the other is the possibility that huawei could be implanting devices into all the many products it sells around the world. that's why we have a ban on using huawei products in our national security apparatus and many of our allies have that same ban. they are definitely an enormous risk going forward. arthel: you still say, dr. grant, this is a strategic move on the part of the president. what does the president gain in return for scaling back restrictions on huawei? >> yeah, i mean, it's a good question. i think we're going to see a lot of blow by blow and going forward, hard to say where this will end up. right now, what he's gained coming out of the g-20 is getting china back to the table. remember, there was that blow-up several weeks ago. they had a lot of larger issues that don't involve huawei but involve a number of u.s. and chinese products. trump is looking for that deal. china had not been willing to negotiate apparently now having taken off just a little sliver of restrictions on huawei,

looked like they're back at the table. we'll have to see if that's the case. but that's what president trump is telling us right now, they're coming back to the table to continue with the larger set of trade talks. arthel: let me get, dr. grant, your overview of the current status of the trade war with china and the trump administration's ability to effectively put a cap on china's co-opting of america's technology, innovations, not to mention their manipulation of currency. >> you're right, arthel. it really was the co-opting innovations, all this started for national security reasons because of china's cyber theft of u.s. intellectual property. and i think overall this trade war has made washington realize that the role of china has to change. china has to agree to play by some of the rules in order to be part of this global system. as to the specifics of it, i think it's having a good effect. i think we're seeing china willing to try to negotiate more. there's a lot they have to

change but at this point in time, i think trump picked the right moment to pursue this and to try to get a better balance going forward. we have to have a strong economy to have a strong defense and there's no question that china is posing a threat to all of that. arthel: i want to read a quote from the new york times. it says quote, most economists estimate china will overtake the united states as the largest economy in 10 to 15 years and some senior officials in washington now view china as a rival where the communist party aims to subjugate citizens and take place in artificial intelligence technology and i close with this question to you. can president trump win the trade war with china? >> i think he can. and the surveillance and the ai, you know, huawei is in the middle of all that question. so can he win this war? yeah, i think he can. now, china's economy is slowing

a little bit. right now, our economy goes at about 19 to $20 trillion a year, theirs at about $12 trillion. we are ahead for now. president trump wants to keep the u.s. economy growing faster than china and wants to see china submit more to the rule of law and become a good global trade partner. they aren't right now. arthel: we'll leave it there. dr. rebecca grant, thank you. >> thank you. eric: back at home, there was a stunning confession on the witness stand during a trial of a navy seal accused of murder. a witness saying he's the one that killed an isis prisoner in their custody, not the president. does that mean the case is closed? our legal panel and their analysis, next. the decision was made -- we were making a move. we had to.

accompanied by jon stewart, urging lawmakers to extend funding for the 9/11 victims compensation fund. jackie heinrich joins us with more on this new york and american hero. hi, jackie. >> reporter: hi, eric. luis alvarez spent his dying days pleading before congress so 9/11 first responders could have health benefits. one day before his 69 round of chemo he went to capitol hill. a week later, his organs began shutting down and he passed away this morning. luis alvarez spent three months at ground zero, searching for survivors and remains after the 9/11 terror attacks. 16 years later, he was diagnosed with cancer linked to toxin hes breathed in. he was an nypd detective, a marine and father of three buys. he was 53 years old. his family said he was at peace, proud of his fight for the 9/11 victims compensation fund which is running out of money and cutting benefits with more than 19,000 claims still pending.

he told fox news he didn't hesitate when the call came in 1 years ago and knew he leave his children fatherless when the knee fall curtain came but he needed to fight for fellow first responders before he could go in peace. >> my job as an nypd detective to respond to emergencies, so no hesitation. i did what every other fdny, nypd, ems worker, everybody, i'm nobody special. i did what all the other guys did. and now we're paying the price for it. >> reporter: after his testimony, alvarez gave his nypd badge to mitch mcconnell to agreed to vote on the legislation later this summer. it's been a drawn out battle to get the bill approved with some critics saying it's a new york issue, not a national one. the bill should now pass with 45 co-sponsors. more than 50,000 people have

grown ill from the toxins at the world trade center. first responders and politicians are vowing to never forget, nypd chief of detectives said alvarez exemplified the motto, faithful until death. funeral arrangements will be announced this week. eric: god bless detective alvarez and all of the 9/11 first responders. we will never forget and will never forgive. thank you. arthel: the trial of a decorated navy seal taking a dramatic turn after a witness testified that he, not the defendant, is the one who killed the teenage isis fighter in their custody in iraq in 2017. a navy seal medic making the stunning confession under oath on the stand. that witness now has been notified that he could be facing perjury charge as this is, quote, directly contrary to previous official statements he made. where does the case go from

here. chris is former assistant attorney general in new york state and michael j moore is a former attorney and partner. can the medic's legal team put together a good defense? >> well, they can put together a defense. apparently what happened was he was given a grant of immunity for his testimony. the things that he said they implicate him in the murder, they may have shielded him from. what they can't do is shield him from telling lies which is a breach of the agreement. being punished for those lies. they'll look back at statements he's made, hopefully there's been a good proffer taken by the prosecutor in the case to lock him down to his owner statement, look to see if he's given statements to federal law enforcement agents and perhaps used that in a charge itself. so there are things they have done, that have protected him. i think they protected him fairly well from the ultimate sin but when you look back at

the perjury charge, i think he's like throw have his day in court. arthel: chris, what is the next move for the navy seal's legal team to make sure the charges stick for the medic and to exonerate the navy seal? >> well, i think the next step for the navy seal is clearly what they're going to toys talk about how this creates doubt in the mind of the jurors that it wasn't gallagher that committed any murder, it was scott. or in any case, it certainly wasn't gallagher. that's going to be his argument. i think it's going to be hard even on the perjury count. according to mr. scott, he said that he's never told anybody in the government that he didn't -- that he didn't kill the prisoner. so if that's the case, they're going to have a very hard time proving perjury and as far as the overall case, this has been a very difficult case for the navy from the beginning to try to demonstrate that there was

murder and now that you have another guy standing up, sitting on the witness chair, saying that he did it, i don't know how that does not create doubt in the jurors' mints. arthel: michael, how possible is it to end up with this legal shocker in the first place? >> well, it's not unusual to have witnesses change their story. that's what good lawyers deal with in courtrooms across the country every day. if you think about it, this is nothing really much different than having a drug case where or gang case, maybe an organized crime case where somebody takes the charge for the boss or takes the hit for the gang leader. these things happen all the time. and you've got essentially sort of a secret society in the military group there, where they don't talk against each other. so i think probably you could expect a that there may have been some wishy washiness with the testimony. my belief is, i have to believe this because i think you've got

good prosecutors in the navy, and that is surely they've taken a proffer, they've got a statement that they made and they didn't put him on the stand without -- and didn't not he question him about it, but didn't dig into the facts of the case without knowing something about what he's going to say. somewhere there's a statement about gallagher being responsible for the killing. we'll see. that's why you have different versions, different witnesses, on a journey to seek the truth. they've got witnesses saying they saw gallagher stabbing him in the death. it's up to the jury, whether or not they can deal with the conflict in the testimony, the conflict between the two witnesses and they'll decide which one is credible. arthel: if this medic ends up convicted for war crimes, what's the potential punishment? >> whoever did it, someone's convicted, if it's gallagher he faces up to the rest of his life in prison. but again, as you said, arthel, in the introduction to this segment, this is a dramatic case. it's like something you see out

of the movies. i agree with michael, that but for the fact that these are navy seals and isis, it's the same legal issues that you would find in a drug case. but they aren't the same underlying facts. so if someone's convicted of murder, they could spend the rest of their lives in jail but that is at this point going to be an uphill battle for the navy prosecutors. arthel: and then michael, quickly, if this medic ends up convicted no for war crimes, whs the impact on the psyche of fellow military medics? >> i don't know that had they ought to attribute what they did to the medics or think they all feel this way. what we ought to say, if he's convicted and has done wrong, the medic has done wrong by liker it ought to tell people not to lie in court, not to change the story a and not to take the heat for somebody else, just tell the truth. that's what we tell witnesses and judges tell witnesses in front of juries every day in america. arthel: we have to leave it there. nice to talk to both of you. eric: on this summer saturday,

it's feeling hot, hot, hot in several states. it's feeling hot, hot, hot. arthel: much better. eric: will we get relief soon? the weekend forecast, coming up. my experience with usaa has been excellent. they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's we're the hayles, and we're usaa members for life. ♪ get your usaa auto insurance quote today.
