as today's g-20 meetings get underway, protesters are out in force. yesterday was a warmup, certain to be a ruckus friday. only thing hotter than protests are the temperature in the room when trump and putin meet for an agenda driven face-to-face. wildfires in 11 states from california, cattle seeking refuge to flames in colorado where mandatory evacuations have been ordered. reports that foreign hackers incoming russia are targeting the u.s. electrical grid, incoming power plants. katy perry needs your help."

early today" starts right now. high stakes, one-on-one, hours away from president trump's first face-to-face meeting with president trump after reports both men have shook hands and met this morning. the political world is watching for clues on what either leader says in g-20 summit in germany. this comes one day after president trump sent this mixed message to moscow. >> i think it was russia. i think it could have been other people in other countries. >> we urge russia to cease its destabilizing activities in ukraine and elsewhere and support for hostile regimes. >> the meeting pits trump, the showman, against putin, shrewd leader with the ultimate poker face taking place on the sidelines of the g-20 summit, amid of what's certain to be a date of violent clashes. thousands of organized

disruptions e represented throughout the day and night. we were there on scene. >> there, you can see, one of those smoke bombs that has gone off in the middle of the crowd now. now, further back, the german riot police are lined up, moving into this antig-20 protest. we're right in the center of it. they are clearly determined, the german authorities to prevent these protesters from staying here. >> this is the scene this morning as protests already get underway there, and while the violent images you see there are new, g-20 protests, themselves, are not. massive demonstrations are waged in city after city going back decades. the protest in seattle was the largest political protests in recent history. this morning, it is mr. trump and putin holding the the

world's attention in what's sure to be the most consequential meeting on trump's 169th day of his presidency. we have the trump-pew tip meeting, and we are covering the protests already underway. we begin with jay. jay, good morning to you. what can we expect from mr. trump and putin? >> reporter: hey, francis, good morning. well, the white house not tipping its hand at all, not discussing anything that could be on the agenda when the leaders meet in two hours. some of what is discussed you'd believe is north korea, ukraine, and, of course, the war on terror. many back home, including democratic congress members, who are demanding that the president confront president putin about russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. we have been told that the two briefly spoke this morning and shook hands ahead of this

meeting, historic meeting here in hamburg, again, in just about two and a half hours. president pleaded this morning saying he looks forward to meeting with all of the leaders here, including russian president putin. he's also said that he will, quoting here, represent our country well and fight for its interests. a part of the meeting today will include russian foreign minister and, of course, secretary of state rex tillerson will be in the room along with translaters. will we ever find out what went on in there? likely not the case, but, again, this is something everyone has been looking forwards for months now. >> thank you for the update. now an update on the situation on the ground. protesting impacting the summit at all? >> reporter: well, sporadic conflict between police and

protesters. behind me, the police are trying to remove protesters sitting in the street blocking the path of a police convoy there, and, then, across this side, there's a line, again, of fairly relaxed riot police. you hear the sirens in the background because protesters are deploying guerrilla tactics to move this way, to try to get to the conference center, which is here where the leaders of the g- g-20 are meeting. we expect more squirmishes throughout the day as we saw yesterday. you see the fairly tense at times, yesterday, police said 111 police officers were injured. protesters say dozens were injured. protests less organized, but they do seem to have tactics. that is to seem to their way through here and get to places where meetings are hold. they are targeting the police where we think president trump

is staying. there are reports that windows have been smash at the hotel where president putin is staying. francis? >> moments of calm with other moments of more tension ebbing and flowing. thank you. the united states is working on a diplomatic solution to north korea's first intercontinental ballistic missile test. they called it a clear military escalation, but james mattis says that does not bring the two countries closer to war. >> i do not believe this capability in itself bringing us closer to war because the president's been very clear, the secretary of state's been very clear we're laid p wien with diplomatic and economic efforts. >> president trump tweeted he had a great meeting with the leaders of japan and south korea, and a photo shoot with president xi. fbi investigates an incident on a delta airlines flight where a crew member was allegedly
