that's tremendous news. >> nikki: yeah. my hands are still a little bit stiff, but that will start to fade. i am just so happy that the concert and all the stress that went with it is over. thanks again for getting me out of there. i couldn't have stood another seco

ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley, says time is short. action is required and the world is on notice that more needs to be done terrain in kim jong-un. it appears the vast majority of the security council agrees. the question is, will it make a difference? >> the secretary-general strongly condemns the launch of a ballistic missile of intercontinental range conducted by the dprk. this action is yet another reason violation of the security council resolutions and constitutes a dangerous escalation of the situation. >> outrage and warnings but no new sanctions yet from the united nations security council. meeting in an emergency session over north korea's launch of an intercontinental ballistic mission. the u.n. has passed 15 resolutions and 11 years, making north korea among the most sanctioned country in the world. condemnation has so far done nothing to stop the regime of kim jong-un from testing missiles. in pyongyang, the dictator celebrated the launch, urging scientists to keep sending big and small gift packages to the yankees, sugge

during the meeting the american ambassador to the un, nikki haley said that north korea's missile testof conflict over the world. 0ur correspondent nada tawfik is at the un, and has been telling me about the divisions in the security council over how to deal with pyongyang. what we saw today was the united states really being joined by many of the western nations and japan and calling for tougher pressure on north korea. nikki haley said the window of a diplomatic solution was closing, and the united nations needed to use —— the us needed to use military options to defend themselves and its allies. that was on the table. she went on to say that other measures could include the us stopping trade with those who do business with north korea, and that the us would be looking to a resolution in the coming days to impose new sanctions. 0n the other side, you had russia and china, who, first off, were very critical of the united states talking about the military option. they said that was unacceptable. russia and china have a joint initiative. they basically wa nt a joint initiative. they bas

nikki haley said the window of a diplomatic solution was quickly and if the us needed to use militaryhemselves and its allies, that was on the table. she went on to say that other measures could include the us stopping trade with those who do business with north korea, in violation of un resolutions, and, key, that the us would be looking to a resolution in the coming days to impose new sanctions. 0n the other side, you had russia and china, who, first off, are, you know — were very critical of the united states talking about the military option. they said that was unacceptable. and russia and china have a joint initiative. they basically want the world powers to start speaking to north korea, to have a suspension of north korea's nuclear programme, in exchange for the us and south korea suspending theirjoint military exercises. so the russian and chinese think that is the route to go. they say sanctions have not been working, so they are not on board with further sanctions. nada, it seems like the stakes are much higher this time around? absolutely. the security council has tried for

>> chris, i would not put nikki haley and chris christie in the same position at all. it was uncharacteristic of how she has conducted herself since she was put in this position. >> do you think it was a joke? >> i don't even want to assess what she was trying to do. i think she probably misstepped frankly. with chris christie, he did what he did deliberately. this is classic chris christie. i think a lot of the coverage of this has been overblown. he did this, he's done a lot of things like this throughout his tenure as new jersey governor. he is coming up on the end of his term. this is his last hoorah. he will probably still be a public figure and i'm sure donald trump will appreciate what he's done here. >> ashley parker, what do you make of this? particularly in the place we are now. it seems like everything we thought we know about how politics can and should be conducted has gone out the window. >> i think erin is right. in governor christie has done a lot of this stuff before and early on in different moments and when his approval ratings were higher. people lo

nikki haley demands action and says the u.s. will use military force if necessary. >>> face to face, president trump arrives in europe ahead of his upcoming first meeting with russian president vladimir putin. but the cloud of russian election meddling is straining relations along with the wars in ukraine and syria. will the president stand up to putin? >>> pulling back, president trump renews threats to retreat from existing trade deals that he says do not benefit the u.s. now china and mexico are talking about a trade deal of their own as germany's leader criticizes trump's trade policies. will he be isolated at the g20 summit? >>> and states of defiance, opposition to the president's voter fraud commission is growing with more states rejecting requests for voter information. and tonight there is more backlash, a lawsuit in federal court. >>> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. wolf blitzer is off. i'm jim sciutto, and you're in the situation room. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news.

let's talk to ambassador nikki haley. there were conflicting reports about what happened inside president trump's much-anticipated meeting with president vladimir putin. sergey lavrov said trump heard and accepts putin's statements that russia did not meddle in the u.s. election. is that true? >> we got two very important leaders together and said okay, it's time for them to meet. this was long time coming. what we know is that when president trump meets with a leader, things do start to move. from my standpoint and a lot of the administration, it was important. what he did was bring up right away the election meddling and he did that for a reason. one, he wanted him to basically look him in the eye, let him know that, yes, we know you meddle in d in our elections. we know you did it and cut it out. i think president putin did exactly what we thought he would do, which is deny it. it is what it is. they're always going to have two different stories on this they're going to have two different stances on this at the end of

ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley. when we spoke with her yesterday, we asked her if president trump accepted russian president putin's assurances that he didn't meddle in the u.s. election. >> i think we need to be realistic about what happened. you had two men walk into the room. you had two men who knew the exact same thing, which is russia did meddle in the elections. i think president trump wanted to make sure that president putin was aware that he was acknowledging it, that he knew it. i think president putin did what we all expected him to do, which was deny it. and i think that is what it is. president trump still knows that they meddled. president putin knows that they meddled, but he's never going to admitted to it and that's all that happened. >> dickerson: given that the president knows the russians meddled, what consequences will they face as a result of that action? >> i think you're going to have to ask the president. that's one of the first things, confronting them, letting them know we know this happen

then she called her daughter nikki. >> she goes, i can't find your dad. know where your dad is. i'm turning around. >> reporter: frances started to make her way back down the highway. she spoke to connie again. >> my sister tells me, i found him. >> reporter: connie had jumped in her own car and soon came upon bill and his bike by the side of the road. he'd crashed and was in bad shape. police were already at the scene when frances arrived. >> and then as i'm running to him, an officer grabs me. and i yank him. i heard somebody yell, that's his wife. leave her alone. and i get down to where he's at. and he's alive. >> reporter: do you say anything to him? >> i was just in shock. and he kept telling me, i can't breathe, vieja. and i told him calm down, dad. calm down. >> reporter: bill had internal injuries. whatever happened, the wreck was so severe it even knocked his boots off. >> sierra 4, here comes your bird. >> reporter: they took him away in the helicopter. >> they got a gurney. and he grabbed my arm. and he goes, vieja, come with me. i go, i'm com

we know nikki haley met with the security council that emergency meeting. what's come out of that?s the latest and what moves should the u.s. be making here >> i think it's a tricky situation. we don't want start the world's first nuclear war by any sense be the clear that trump and his administration are taking a harder line against north korea after the recent nuclear missile launch. top american general in south carolina said today that self restraint is the only thing holding the u.s. and south korea back from going war with north korea and i think this shows they're seriously considering options if north korea doesn't stop and listen to the un sanctions >> during they say administration, the president made an issue of china on the campaign trail but the relations between the u.s. and china seem to have coalesced a bit. how much is china's cooperation weighing into whatever move the president makes next? >> it's interesting, because back in september before he was even president, he said during an interview with cnbc he would use economic leverage over china to sort of coerce t

nikki picked up some lime-a-rita's and that's when we knew it was going to be one of those nights. we started hanging a disco ball but then the ball reminded ava now we have two disco balls. lime-a-rita. make it a margarita moment. lime-a-rita. ♪ [crunch] ♪ yeah! ♪ [slap] [slap] [punch] [crunch]

nikki haley saying that, we do not trust russia, and so nothing's changed in terms of our relationship. there are the russians, sergey lavrov, suggesting that donald trump has accepted putin's claim there was no russian involvement in the election and then thirdly and finally, the president's view. ambiguous and shifts from day to day. one day, as in polpoland, russi definitely hacked, next day, he wants to work with the russians or cyber security. the most strange to understand is the president's, but it makes a bit more sense if you root it in the context of domestic politics. i suspect the reason why donald trump will not come out with a clear line either way with russia is because he's aware of the controversy back home. if the president were sow accept totally and unambiguously that russia interfered with the election, the implication is that russia interfered with the election to help him. and he cannot accept that. not only because that would be politically damaging for him but i suspect also psychologically cannot accept that that is true. so what he's desperate to do is draw a

russian hacking and russian interference even though there was none but people kept saying it were nikki haley is there telling her read this no matter what happens read this and say this above the scorpion read it i'll read it it says no no matter what happens no matter what iran is doing i don't want to what the u.n. in the are you say nikki haley is not going to to veer from her script that's what it seems like to many the observer. a new one point four billion dollar arms deal sealed by president trump with taiwan has sparked fieri and china which argues that the move to contradict earlier pledges by the trump administration. about you that taiwan is an inseparable part of china we firmly oppose the export of arms to taiwan and we stress that nobody can weaken or determination to uphold the territorial integrity and sovereignty and we oppose any external interference in the domestic affairs we urge the u.s. to abide by its commitment to the one china principle and to stop to taiwan and military contacts in order to avoid further damage to our relations and enable corp in other fields

ambassador to nikki haley. clearly they were directed at china not only was this arebuke of north korea, it is a warning of countries that are doing business with north korea, especially china. saying, yeah, these countries also think they're going to be doing business with the u.s., and as she put it, that is not going to happen. we've seen the u.s. critical of

ambassador nikki haley warned that military action is on the table as a result to aggression from north korea. what happens next? we have an expert on that country and a biographer of kim jong-il. we have the founder of geopolitical futures. they both join us now. first you, michael. as an expert in north korea, what is the point of this exercise. the kim regime obviously thinks it has some strategic purpose. what would that be. >> when you're trying to analyze north korea, trying to read a book upside down in a mirror underwater. you have to read backwards. but i realized is this. north korea has always asserted their right under their sovereignty, just like the u.s., to engage in shipment and sales of weapons. what we are seeing, in my opinion, incidentally or by

ambassador nikki haley is sure to be asked about all of this on "state of the union." that interview airing tomorrow at 9:00 eastern on cnn. we'll be right back. at panera, a salad is so much more than one thing. more than one flavor, or texture, or color. a good clean salad is so much more than green. and with panera catering, more for your event. panera. food as it should be. >>> a key meeting between president trump and chinese president chi jixi jinping took earlier today. they discussed trade to north korea. the two countries are not on the same page on how to resolve the threat. here now cnn's andrew stevens. >> a man i've gotten to like and respect. >> reporter: it was hailed as a budding bromance, all smiles as chinese president xi jinping and donald trump met at trump's mar-a-lago resort in april. a key issue for the two leaders, north korea. trump famously said he'd listen to xi explain chinese-korean history for ten minutes and made him realize, quote, it's not what you think. but in the months since, trump's had a lesson in real politics. this week's missil

how could you not -- >> jack: i left the party early with nikki.ed. >> nikki: well, i'm so glad you could come over today. we can catch up. >> victoria: yeah, you can tell me about all of the time you've been spending with jack lately. >> nikki: okay, i guess your brother told you that i spent the night at the abbott cabin. >> victoria: what? no. abby told me that she walked in on you two kissing.

so nikki haley said that the kind of clear and sharp. military escalation from north korea meant a diplomatic possibility was really. closing in on site and so she said that the united states would use military force if necessary to protect its allies. she said the us would cut off trade with those who do business with north korea in violation of un u. s. resolution un resolutions. up but on the other side you had the russian and chinese who said for example russia said it any further sanctions would be unacceptable. out they wouldn't work to reach a solution and the chinese ambassador. said that really the proposal they have with russia is to kind of suspend north korea's. buildup of its arsenal in exchange for the u. s. in north and and south korea stopping it joint military exercises and he thought that would be the best way forward. cemented the u. s. is talking about yet more sanctions against north korea off to say many years of sanctions which don't seem to have stopped north korea and its missile program. what is that that hasn't

that is very new and that i had never heard before after covering the yuan for about 15 years, is nikkisten, if you do trade with north korea, we will not trade with you. that is a clear message to china but also any other country that if the u.s. detects economic business lease -- links with north korea, she is basically throwing down the gauntlet and saying listen, we are willing to sacrifice a trade relationship with you if you trade with north korea. the question with china, u.s. and chinese economies are interdependent that if the u.s. carries out the threat with a country like china, we can expect to see massive economic pressure and an impact on the economy. >> that is why we wonder whether the threat is credible. we see pressure points that say they can impose us on china. that, nikkiine with did say that they would come up with a further resolution. also -- you have got russia there and china, classic veto vote. what is the likelihood that once again, we see a firmer veto vote here? board,china to get on you would need to see north korea conducted another nuclear test. this is

secretary nikki haley facing backlash for this tweet.ames north korea for forcing her to work on the fourth of july. from nikki haley to chris christie, members of congress, do they have a legitimate beef or are taxpayers just not getting their money's worth? we'll take a look at this issue when we come back. no, please, please, oh! ♪ (shrieks in terror) (heavy breathing and snorting) no, no. the running of the bulldogs? surprising. what's not surprising? how much money aleia saved by switching to geico. fifteen minutes could save you fifteen percent or more.

nikki haley is talking right now the u.s. ambassador just after china let's listen. it showed that north korea does not want to be part of a peaceful world. they had cast a dark shadow of conflict on all nations that strive for peace. yesterday that came from the same vicious dictator unresponsive in in a coma. the true nature of the regime was painfully brought home with the images. as they transported them from a prison he should never be in. he is but one person at of millions who have been killed, tortured, or deprived of their human rights by the north korean regime. two americans the death of one innocent person can be as powerful as the death of millions. all men and women are created in god's image to head depravity towards one is the sure sign to do much more harm. the nature of that is clear. only in the scale of the damage it does could become different. that's what yesterday's escalation is so alarming. if north korea well treat an innocent young student the way it treated him we should not be surprised if it acts barbaric late on a larger scale. they do

nikki haley understands you have to be clear and direct.he may get a call from the white house but they should probably be listening to her more than the other way around. >> julian, the narrative we heard from secretary tillerson was that the president pressed vladimir putin on election meddling. if he accepted the denial, how firm could that press have been? >> well, if he did accept the denial or he didn't follow through on what happens next, then will there be continued sanctions for the russian interference? then he didn't really press them. he just talked about it and he almost did his duty to try to get some of the pressure off. that is not really pressure. you know? there has been much effort to actually create pressure on the russians. not simply for what happened, but to make sure there isn't more intervention in 2018 and 2020. the pressure is not simply saying something to the russian leadership but imposing sanctions or taking other measure. look. when president trump wants to be clear and his attacks on the media and his attack

nikki haley requested a meeting to discuss north korea after u.s. intelligence confirmed north korea fired a first interest continental ballistic missile it landed in sea of japan and similar launch could strike alaska. signals a significant development in north korea push to nuclear capability. >> president trump leads for g 20 summit and will nrand poland capital the president want him to take a hard line with vladimir putin. it comes amid allegations of influencing the election. the white house won't say whether he plans to discuss the election hacking with putin. >> oregon is first state in nation to issue gender neutral driver's licenses, residents can choose to mark with an x instead of male oar d.c. issued similar licenses and/or or is first state to do so. >> third time, could it be the charm. space x will try a launch from the kennedy space center for the third time this week. liftoff is set for 7:35 this week. they had to ditch the liftoff with ten second to go due to a computer glitch due to sunday's failed launch. >> good morning. we're

ambassador nikki haley has put north korea and bourgeoning crisis there from consensus at this summit. president trump will meet with fortunate of china and you expect some tough words between two of them. nikki haley suggesting that china ought to impose stronger economic sanctions against north korea which the north korea's closest ally. otherwise she suggest the u.s. reserve the right to take military action. of course president trump will also meet as peter alexander mentioned with president putin. that meeting will be closely watched for the optics and what will have to say in particular. will he raise the question of russian interference in the elections. thousands of protesters will be here. those protests have turned violent. the question is whether that will be the backdrop. >> a lot of diplomatic testing. >>> the u.s. is responding to north korea's test launch of a intercontinental ballistic missile which could potentially reach the united states. defense secretary james mattis spoke with his japanese counter part underscoring an iron clad commitment to japan. the u.s. launc

nikki haley said this earlier today. >> the world is on notice.t together, we can still prevent a catastrophe, and we can rid the world of a grave threat. if we fail to act in this way, there will be a different response. >> but the russian deputy ambassador to the united nations is disputing whether the test was, in fact, an icbm, matthew. how could this complicate that meeting? >> look, don. the simple fact is as it has been stated headline after headline, this is the problem from hell. the united nations security council has imposed sanctions, multiple resolutions and it hasn't solved the problem. china and russia have been part of that conversation. we have a forceful ambassador, but it won't change the basic interest that dictate russia and china's position. i want to comment on two things putin brings to the table. you asked earlier to add to jill's point, putin has been late to every meeting with every world leader that he has ever held. now that is so much of a pattern. he has been late with the pope. he was late to president obama, intent
