let's get the latest from the bbc‘s suzanne kianpour in washington. what are you hearing? is this likely to go? their's been a lot of unrest and violence in venezuela as of late. this is effectively mr trump's shot across the bow at nicolas maduro. he is playing the business card, which he knows well. it is sort of a classic donald trump statement, calling him a bad leader, saying that he dreams of becoming a dictator. in whale, the state department response has been that this was a statement by the venezuelan people as support of free and fair elections. we don't exactly know what it means yet, but the venezuelan economy is crumbling. timidly, this threat will not fall on deaf ears. we should also bring people up to date on this, senior russian officials suggesting the talks in washington are close to resolving the issue of russian diplomats having been accused of interfering in the election. they have accused the americans of stealing their property. senior russian officials are suggesting talks in washington are close to resolving the row over two diplomatic compounds —

. >> suzanne: good morning washington.we want to get a check of your top stories. staying on top of breaking news out of prince georges county. the northbound lanes of indianhead highway are back open after a violent crash that killed two people at palmer road. southbound remains close. please tell us two cars collided around 2:30 am. both drivers died. crews says it could take hours to open the roadway. >>> president trump inquiring about pardons into the russian investigation. he asked about the ability to pardon family members and eight and even himself. they have -- the president has accused us of being a countless patients. countless ailments. they have -- the president has accused us of being a countless hours. and guess what? you can handle it all. be a leader in your field with a bsn from strayer university. a nursing program created by and for nurses. let's get it, nurses. >>> today will be another sizzling day with highs in the upper 90s across the area in the heat index temperat

suzanne malveaux, thanks so much. as for north korea, it is celebrating the missile launch this morning, that quote from kim jong-un we told you about, he calls it a, quote, basket of gifts for americans. david mckenzie live in seoul with more. >> reporter: that's right, john and poppy. you had that pretty crude language coming from state media in north korea. let's look at that video of that missile launch. they're calling it a successful launch, that it's an intercontinental ballistic missile, which they say they can put large nuclear warheads on top of and that it could reach in their words the continental u.s. and so, again, this progression of this missile program is rapidly increasing, at least many the last few months, these multiple tests of missiles, anticipation perhaps that there is a nuclear test coming up in north korea and putting into disarray all diplomatic means it seems are trying to solve the crisis on the korean peninsula. coming into the office this evening, it was striking again to see seoul just

suzanne malveaux, thank you very much. the kremlin is reacting saying it doesn't know anything about this 2016 meeting between donald trump's son and a russian lawyer. the kremlin says they don't know who the lawyer is at all really. matthew chance is live ins who cow with more. matthew? >> reporter: john, poppy, hi. that's right. the kremlin is trying to put as much distance as they can between these new allegations of collusion on the part of russian surrogates and the trump candidate and trump team, saying they had no idea who this russian lawyer was. she has represented government businesses in the past and has strong links with government officials in this country, at least government appointees in this country. and she's also been prominent in trying to do two things. first of all, overturn the ban on u.s. adoptions of russian children and, secondly, trying to repeal the magnitsky act. that may have been some of the questions we need to ask. was she going to meet the trump candidate team to advocate the lifting of th

suzanne malveaux is on capitol hill. suzanne, he is saying go for it again? >> reporter: is he, poppy. and people looking at those tweets saying of course they're not quitters but are trying to be realistic about this. we've seen the president time and time again put pressure on members of congress with this repeal and replace of obamacare. if obamacare is hurting people, and it is, why shouldn't it hurt the insurance companies and why should congress not be paying what the public pays? this, a series of tweets essentially saying the government is going to stop what he calls bailouts for insurance companies and bailouts for members of congress. most members of congress receive their health insurance through the d.c. exchange, which is subsidized, in part, by obamacare. but the president is saying that he is going to essentially implode obamacare or try to undercut obamacare. two stidecisions he's talking about, whether the government will continue to help subsidize and help contribute with insurance companies some amount of money to help them with the low-inc

and our senior national correspondent suzanne malveaux joins us from capitol hill..j., as someone who tracks these numbers, a senior aide closely involved in the process told manu raju the chance this bill passes, better than 1%, not yet in the 2% column. ouch. >> yeah, that's pretty specific, too. poppy, the theme of this week really is part two, let's try this again. mitch mcconnell tried to bring this billup for a vote before the july 4th recess. the votes were simply not there. he's going to try this again. actually in very much the same way he tried two weeks ago. i'm going to walk you through some of the timeline that we expect the next couple of days offering first this big caveat that, obviously, a lot of things are still fluid. nothing is really set in stone. this is according to sources who have been in touch with leadership. what they expect to see. obviously the lunches today, a very important. we expect leadership to perhaps shed some light into some of the revisions they expect to make to this bill. that will allow leadership to get a sense of whether,

and putin at the g20 summit, so suzanne, the kremlin said it first out loud, then the security council confirmed it. what about the white house? >> actually the white house has confirmed it now. president trump was just arriving at the trump national golf course in sterling, virginia, just moments ago, not far from the white house, but the white house has confirmed this meeting will take place on friday afternoon. this is important, and it is significant for a couple of reasons. first of all, symbolically it gives this meeting more heft, more weight of greater import. it serves both leaders potentially well, giving president trump an opportunity to be seen side by side, face to face, get to see the body language of these two, and to convey a message, if you will, that trump is beyond the investigations regarding the russia interference with the 2016 election with the investigations as to whether or not trump officials, campaign s. vladimir putin could also potentially get something out of this, looking as if he's in control having the intelligence community concluded that russia, in fa

suzanne kennedy... what are you working on for 5 o-clock? massive flames at a d-c home. we're live on the scene right now, as crews put out hot spots. plus: health care collapse. the gop bill, stopped in it's tracks. what delivered the a fatal blow - and whats next. and take a look at this video out of baltimore strong storms - triggering flash floods - and stormwatch seven says there's more to come... good morning washington.

we have this all covered beginning with suzanne malveaux live at the white house. on this morning. >> good morning, john, that's right. president trump is going to be at bed minister for much of the day, returning to the white house late this evening or so. he'll be hosting military families for the july fourth festivities tomorrow. the president is spending much of the holiday weekend, however, using the bully pul

our suzanne malveaux is on capitol hill. are we getting any indication about whether or not trump junior and paul manafort will say by the end of the day, yes, we're coming before your committee, or are they going to wait for a subpoena? >> reporter: we know they have invitations, they've received those invitations, we don't know whether or not they're going to accept them. but we know it's deadline day. the senate judiciary committee very much set on getting a response by the end of the day. so they still have some time here, poppy. we heard from dianne feinstein, senator ranking democrat on the committee who says that they did get the clearance from special counsel bob mueller that they would be able to testify publicly if that is something that they are willing to do, that that would not be a conflict with his investigation. and senator chuck grassley, the chairman, making it very clear time and time again that, yes, he is willing to use subpoena power to try to force them to go before that committee. both of them saying

cnn's suzanne malveaux live on capitol hill for us. suzanne. >> reporter: good morning, john. well, they can only afford to lose -- if it's three votes, it is dead. and it's about three hours or so before we get this latest version, already two republicans have said they don't like it. conservative senator rand paul says it does not do enough to repeal obamacare because of taxes, subsidies and regulations that stay intact. also moderate senator susan collins says it goes too far because of those medicaid cuts. we are going to see vice president pence back here at the white house -- rather on capitol hill making a cameo appearance to try to convince those senators and others to get it over the top. in the meantime you've got president trump who is six time zones away, some lawmakers prefer that, that he has been hands off on the latest round of negotiations, but he is now speaking out and issuing this warning. >> i am sitting in the oval office with a pen in hand waiting for our senators to give it to me. >> what if they don't? >> well, i don't even want to talk about it becaus

>> all right, suzanne, thank you very much. if the president were willing to unleash on the boy scouts, you could imagine what he's doing on twitter this morning. he is intensifying attacks on his own attorney general, jeff sessions. remember, one of the first people to step up and support the president. he talked to those boy scouts about loyalty. no loyalty for jeff sessions. he called him beleaguered and he is accurate, the president, because he's the one beleague you aring jeff sessions causing him a lot of trouble. "the washington post" is reporting the president is weighing his options to replace sessions. cnn's senior washington correspondent joe johns live at the white house with more. i'm sure there would be a long line for that job. >> reporter: certainly seems like it, although it could be a challenge once you get it, quite frankly. look, the attorney general we're told was here at the white house yesterday meeting with the white house counsel, but we're also told he and the president did not meet and have not spoken
