russian president vladimir putin. >> there was a very clear positive chemistry between the two. maggie: he says the president pushed putin right away on russian meddling in last year's u.s. presidential election. >> the president pressed president putin on more than one occasion involving russian involvement. president putin denied such involvement. maggie: the russian foreign minister said president trump accepted the denial but a senior administration official says that is not the case. in any event, the two countries must now move forward. >> it's not clear to me that we will ever come to some agreed upon resolution of that question between the two nations. so the question is what do we do now? maggie: during the meeting, russia and the u.s. agreed on a cease-fire in southwest syria and discussed what to do about ukraine. in meetings with other world leaders at the summit, president trump says he still wants mexico to pay for the wall and d

change with german chancellor angela merkel. she called his view on the topic unfortunate. meanwhile, outside, thousands of protesterrers flood the streets. many violently clashing with authorities. more than 20,000 police have been brought in from across germany. at one point today the protests became so large and no violent that first lady melania trump was trapped in her hotel and had to miss an event over safety concerns. in northwest, maggie rulli, abc7 news. alison: she mentioned the protests. they are surrounding the g20 meetings today in hamburg, germany. more fires set there. in the street, the police are out in riot gear and they are all clashing again. before the scene, the water cannons were brought back out. so they did this, obviously, to try to prevent further disruption. the high-stakes meeting continue there. so they lined the streets, walli

>> yes. still trying to get insurance cards for myself and my child. it's not easy. brad: she called it a royal pain in the neck. she still doesn't have insurance cards for her family. so when we come back at 5:00, we will look at just how it is that this guy has been able to get in and out of facilities that we generally consider to be secure. in rockville, brad bell, abc7 news. alison: all right, brad. thank you. in charles county now, outrage, concern and disbelief. all running through the minds of parents after an hiv positive school aide was charged with sexually assaulting boys at a middle school. carlos bell may have assaulted more than seven boys. and police fear there could be more victims. now the community is calling for the school board to make changes in the wake of the disturbing allegations. >> could you imagine the thoughts that are going through some of the parents' minds? i talk to a few
