how much is angela merkel like her one-time mentor?> tell us more about the relationship between them. very different people. catholic from the west of germany and deeply ofedded in the tradition capitalism and europe. east, a woman from the from a protestant and by the way communist background, who has no emotional relationship to anything helmut kohl stood for. they are very different people and you saw it in the way angela merkel has handled europe -- badly, in my opinion. she is a nationalist. a protestant nationalist from prussia whereas he was a european. imagine twordly more different types of people. >> tell us a little bit about because the key moment in their relationship was the party donation scandal in 1999. tell us about her intervention and that crisis and whether that intervention was courage or opportunism? >> it was both. timepenly said it at the that we should not be afraid to clear this whole thing up. that is what she did. she was the secretary-general of the cdu at the time and she distanced the party from helmut

it is a much more difficult relationship between angela merkel and president trump than angela merkelt obama before, because they had close relationships. an interesting meeting kicking off in a couple minutes. >> wait for that. fred, do you know if there will be cameras? make comments after their meeting or any idea how this will unfold? >> reporter: certainly pictures of the meeting. not clear whether or not there will be any statements afterwards or sequestering. already seen the president give a speech in poland. unclear whether or not the white house might want that to be the message of today. especially things said about nato. we'll wait and see. certainly going to be interesting. of course, there are going to be pictures of that meeting. >> fred pleitgen, thanks so much. >>> we'll bring you that meeting in a moment between angela merkel and president trump. at least what we're able to share. >>> and steve scalise, the republican seriously injured after the shooting at a baseball practice. we'll tell you about his new setback. stay with cnn. at crowne plaza we know business trav

he has a key meeting with angela merkel in just a few hours. here to discuss what we've seen so far today, and it's been an awful lot, david rhodes, online news director for new yorker, tom pickering, former ambassador to russia. ambassador, i want to start with you. not only for the first and clearest time really did we hear from president trump a call for russia to stop what he called its destabilizing activities. but whereas in europe before he failed to stand behind article 5 of nato, which calls for collective security. today he said that statement loudly and clearly. let's listen to what he said. >> i would point out that the united states has demonstrated not merely with words but with its actions that we stand firmly behind article 5, the mutual defense commitment. >> all right. that statement was something that nato allies in europe had been waiting to hear, ambassador. how significant was it he said today in warsaw, a new nato country poland that borders russia? >> john, it's very significant. it reminds me of a statement that winston

lots of intriguing head—to—head meetings, trump and angela merkel, donald trump and angela merkel, donald, donald trump and vladimir putin, which will you looking for to the most? donald trump and vladimir putin. in the united states now i think there is such importance at seeing how they will act with each other, and what the canister will be between the two of them. that's what i'm most excited about. good to see both of you. thank you very much. you're not going anywhere. if you have questions about the 620 send them my way. you can see questions about the 620 send them my way. you can see our questions about the 620 send them my way. you can see our e—mail on the screen, and the hashtag. we will do oui’ screen, and the hashtag. we will do our best answer your questions. i mentioned the protest. we will tend to those in detail in a few minutes and bring you right up to date off what has happened on the streets and why these protesters are turning out to object to donald trump at this whole summit. we will try to understand why. central london has been rocked by series of terrorist atta

again, a point he'll share with angela merkel where he's on a different page and angela merkel has taken to the newspapers criticizing what his crew of globalizati view of globalization. rich get richer. >> nic robertson, we'll keep in touch. president trump on his way to the merkel meeting. the president's fist g-20 economic summit and second visit to europe viewing him with considerable skepticism. he may have eased concerns with this. a public rebuke of vladimir putin's russia. >> the west is also confronted by the powers that seek to test our will, undermine our confidence and challenge our interests. to meet new forms of agrgressio including propaganda, financial crimes and cyber warfare, we urge russia to cease its destabilizing activities in ukraine and elsewhere and support for hostile regimes including syria and iran. >> but in the very next section of the speech, the president also publicly aired grievances with the european union. >> the steady creep of government bureaucracy that drains the vitality and wealth of the people. the west became great not because of paperwork and

he and angela merkel have a right for a bilateral meeting.nny hill. a lot of demonstrators, one banner said welcome to hell, what sort of reception is president trump in particular are going to get? an angry onei particular are going to get? an angry one i think in short. there are no tens of thousands of protesters in hamburg. this summit i think is striking because of the number of people who have come here to demonstrate and i think a lot of the anger is aimed at donald trump and his stands in particular on climate change. you mentioned welcome to hell, that's a demonstrationjust down welcome to hell, that's a demonstration just down the street behind me. a good few thousand people in the square but it all passing off perhaps what the name might suggest very peacefully. having said that the police here are taking no chances, there are hundreds of officers in riot gear clutching their helmets. it's largely because police have told us they are concerned about what they say is a core of up to 8000 extremists who they believe to be largely arm

so, time with angela merkel today.a dinner this evening and the president will have what many people will be watching very closely tomorrow, his first face-to-face meeting with vladimir putin. and that, of course, could set a real tone for how the president can deal with vladimir putin in areas where there is some commonality, whether it comes to syria or trying to deal with north korea. but there are so many questions about how the president will handle himself in that moment, especially when just today we heard through the questioning of our colleague, hallie jackson, when we were asking about russian interference in the 2016 election, the president saying, yes, he believes it was russia but other countries as well. there is so much riding on this. high stakes for president trump. also for the german chancellor, angela merkel, who has really emerged in the minds of many in the west as perhaps a very strong counterpoint to donald trump at a time when issues related to migration, climate change, trade. these are can co

angela merkel seems to be the feeling that we have is angela merkel wants to change that and give this gathering leadership and an agenda. that's ambitious. is she going to succeed? dagmar: she is going to o succe, except dononald trump. it just depends on his mood if anything comes out of it or not. it has nothing to do with any basis of discussion. that of course makes it a wild card which cannot be calculated at all. that makes it very difficult and actually i would not wish the nigerian president who is not governing now because his vice president had to take over, to sit at the same table with donald trump and arguing with issues about africa which he never even knew exactly where it is. this is a leader which really makes it difficult to make discussions work. but with the others, it is possible. with the others, there is a dialogue ongoing and of course with parts of the society in the u.s., the dialogue is ongoing too. the point is that the g-20 summits are a culmination point in which civil society, science and business, whatever have, a dialogue ongoing in 20 major countries

attempts to help angela merkel have a successful g20 7 does attempts to help angela merkel have a successfule narrowed the gap that has been created by the discord of his first trip to europe? the tone of the meeting with vladimir putin, it is important these two leaders meet but they are president trump will be fighting his instincts. he talks about having good meetings, good chemistry, but he has to avoid the same path that his predecessors experienced with high hopes of recirculation is only to have dashed expectations going forward. behind the scenes what is most important is the meeting he might have with the chinese president. will he lean into the president. will he lean into the president regarding north korea because any solution in that situation has to involve china? as the president wiki before he came to europe in the backdrop of expanding trade between china and north korea, is north korea... is china going to do anything meaningful to try to impose economic costs on this recalls the gym leader? a lot to chew over. you talk about president trump resitting expectations but he ha

angela merkel, germany and the eu share some of those concerns. coup in turkey last year have created tensions between turkey and the eu. but everything you see on a particular relationship needs to be seen particular relationship needs to be seenin particular relationship needs to be seen in the context of the fact that turkey has taken in a vast number of syrian refugees. few dues that the eu does not want to travel into its territory. as such, that creates difficulties with the eu. it doesn't have leveraging might do because it knows turkey is carrying a huge weight in allowing well over1 million syrian refugees to live on turkish land. that's little too angela merkel reflecting on these issues and little bit earlier.|j would say that turkey and president erdogan this showed a lot of commitments. they were very much engaged on the agenda and gave his contribution. we also pay tribute to turkey's, to what he did as regards the refugees. and also pointing to the refugees. and also pointing to the migration agenda today. but we also clearly pointe

angela: 11:14 a.m. really think it is important that before we dive into some other pieces of this, we hear the term mass incarceration and criminal justice reform so often and i think that we throw them out so much that people lose the compassion about the issues. so i really want to take a moment to set the stage. marilyn, i want to start with you. on what massive incarceration is and why we should care. so just both the definition, how we define it how it impacts us wend why we should care, why should be utilizing our energy to throw ourselves in and get of all. i'd love for you to use example. marilyn: when we talk about mass incarceration we need to think about for a very long time the criminal justice system has had a disproportionate impact on communities of color. we've criminalized our communities in ways in which nonviolent offenders have resulted in a disproportionate impact of individuals, african-americans been ing incarcerated. when we talk about reforming that, it is a matter of trying to

that's the german chancellor, angela merkel. was there a completely different atmosphere during that meeting? reporter: i would say there was less anticipation because by now we know what to expect when emmanuel macron and angela merkel show up in public together, a very strong show of unity, that's what they've been doing in the last weeks and so that continued in paris. the german chancellor said she could imagine, for example, a euro finance minister, something emmanuel macron has been asking for before. she was more or less reluctant in the past. she said they would do research together to introduce the next generation of euro fighter jets. that's also something new because the germans were reluctant to do that, the french as well. you are trying to beef -- they're tryg to beef up their cooperation. during the whole time of the fronts while the presidency,, so macron's predecessor. brent: if you're looking at today's events through the eyes of the french president, was today a day of big successes for president macron? repor

what are we hearing from angela merkel? >> angela merkel is the host here, and she does the sort of final big wrap-up. to jim's point about president trump not speaking, president putin able to define his message, to a degree, angela merkel was able to put a cap on everything that was agreed and disagreed here. the very important and big-ticket items here, trade there was a huge concern going into this. a difference over the u.s. position, and the other juntcy members' positions on trade. president trump said free trade is okay, but it must be fair trade. angela merkel, the big-ticket item on trade said there's an agreement that keeps markets open, fights protectionism, so that's very much if you will taking a position that's against a position where president trump has really been. some language in there that will make president trump feel a little better. it says that they agree to fight unfair trade. again president trump has said free trade, yes, but it must be fair trade this is a win for the other members of the g20.

angela merkel of course there as well. she is seeing an increasing growth of violence, frankly, in germany in recent months as she struggles with germany struggles with the on set of all of these refugees and migrants that have flooded the community there. for more on what to expect with the big meeting tomorrow and what we should anticipate from these protests where s.w.a.t. teams have now been mobilized to deal with these g20 protesters and water canons have been employed by the police. i want toking to ford o'connell executive and residence capri. thanks, guys, for being here. >> thank you. >> always. trish: ford, over to you as i said these are anticapitalists, antiglobalists, they have an agenda, they want to be heard, and, governor huckabee was saying, look, this is the same crowd. they show up everywhere with the same agenda. is that true or is this somewhat different? >> well, they do show up everywhere, but understand the position that you're in. particularly germany when you talked about the one million migrants

angela?gela: we wanted today to be terrific tuesday on the roadways and it is that way for folks through fairfax county on the capital beltway. we are in the green from the springfield mixing bowl all the way back to 66, the dulles toll road come all the way back to the american legion bridge. cross your fingers. it is not going to last. it is a good time to get out on that stretch of 95 and 495. let's go to the live pictures right now. this is 395 northbound from the springfield mixing bowl. we are not finding any accident activity. volume-related delays up for the landmark area in toward pentagon city and the 14th street ridge. you were going to see this major gridlock. we are not seeing heavy gridlock on 295. for folks and clinton two accidents. you can see delays getting better on 301 through brandywine. we are going to send it like to john gonzalez in laytonsville, where we had some earlier troubles. i understand we are now open on woodfield road, john. john: that's right, angela. this t

angela merkel force or —— angela merkel for sure. emmanuel macron is under pressure as well.d being lonely, i'm not sure whether that is his favoured position so pressure for him, too. thank you for helping us, we appreciated. one more question, jack says, no, matthew says what about the free trade deal between the eu and japan, where does the uk fit into that because brexit? any deal cut by the eu at the moment affects the uk because the uk is in the eu but when the brexit happens, and the uk leads, it will then have two set about cutting its own deals because anything the european union has initiated will not apply to the uk. thank you for all of your questions. it has been a hugely busy day here in hamburg and the summit has not even formally begun. that will happen around atm tomorrow when the leaders make their formal arrival. you will see full coverage of that from bbc news and i will be with you throughout the day. goodbye. we will see how the week will unfold and push it further into next week to see what is in store. thursday had 20 of whether in—store, 32 celsius at

today we are looking at angela merkel as she hosts the g-20 summit in hamburg. 62-year-old angela merkel it does not use twitter, but since she became chancellor in 2005, every event that has shaken europe has made her it's de facto leader ever more. step-by-step solving problems, whether it is sanctions following the invasion of crimea on russia, to economics, but now facing challenges like brexit and the rise of populist parties. then there is donald trump. on hiseeting with him first trip to the continent, the nation turning to isolationism and protectionism, she says it is a serious mistake. after the election of the new french president, merkel turk quickly turn to him to work on the european union. seeking a fourth term, angela merkel interparty have bounced back and polls despite some hits last year over the influx of asylum-seekers to germany among other things. in her favorite are the strong economy and a budget surplus. there is background. in 1999, she was elected chairwoman of her party and her chance came in 2005 when the chancellor called early elections. she squeaked throu

angela merkel said climate change was going to be the priority. but on that issue, she said there has been no compromise. she said the communique, the document released by the 620 will have one section reflecting the american opinion and another section reflecting the other 19. let's listen to a little of what the 6erman listen to a little of what the german chancellor said on that issue. translation: want crucial issue was climate energy and what came out of this meeting was, what i already said at the beginning of this meeting, where ever there is no consensus that can be achieved, disagreement has to be made clear. you are familiar with the american position, you know unfortunately, andi position, you know unfortunately, and i deplore this, the united states of america left the climate agreement, or announced their intention of doing this. what now becomes clear in this declaration is the dissenting view of the united states, but i am gratified to note on the other 19 member state of the 620's said the paris agreement is irreversible, that we f

angela merkel is called the queen of summits how is she doing so far? >> well actually surprisingly well, i have to say. she was in door to door meetings yesterday, all afternoon meetings apparently trying to find a compromise among the g20 on trade and climate she wants to have a compromise she wants that summit to be a success as she wants to be seen again as the world leader, as a safe pair of hands also domestically what can the compromise be? it will be a watered down approach on climate and also on trade. on trade it most likely will mirror the achievements from the g7 in italy, where they were having some sort of commitment to free trade and anti-protectionist measures. on climate the draft communique, which is circled here in hamburg, it will include the u.s. pulling out of the paris climate agreement but that the u.s. is still committed to fight emissions on a global level. also to spur economic growth and energy security. so you see there will be some sort of compromise whether we'll see any unanimous communique as soon as tomorrow nobody know

first on tap, meeting with angela merkel. this bilateral meeting, official bilateral meeting with the russian leader, vladimir putin. talk to me about the significance of that, it's been elevated to something more than a meeting in the hallway to this official one-on-one. >> well, presumably, there is something specifically they want to talk about. they could have arranged this as kind of a brush by in a hallway and the two men, you know, chat and say hi. that would be very unpredictable. so, obviously, the president's advisers had the idea and probably president trump, himself, had the idea they wanted to sit down. there would be other people in the room. there will be interpreters. it's not that long. it's supposed to be about a half an hour, unless vladimir putin is late, which is always a factor, because president putin always is late. we have to see how much time they end up with. but, you know, what do they want to talk about? well, obviously, there are things, they want to have deliverables. usually, behind the scenes,

we can tell you that he met with german chancellor angela merkel.s in public, none of the obvious awkwardness that we saw the last time. later this hour the president scheduled to meet with the leaders of japan and south korea to talk among other things north korea. then there's tomorrow's headline event. the first face-to-face meeting between president trump and russia's president vladimir putin. we have reports and analysis on all of that, plus what the president said about russia, president obama, and the 2016 elections earlier today. but let's start with those protests. keir simmons on the grown. you can see on the right side of your screen walking with the protesters. we'll go to norah o'donnell in just a moment. keir, what are you

angela merkel is the chairwoman movebe anxious to try to the talks to areas of common ground. what kindd --julie: of statement do we get out of g-20? where can they get the win-win from is angela merkel suggested? i think your face says it all. i want to ask about the underlying politics for many of the countries. china is heading into committee meetings. we have the abe results in tokyo, painful for president abe coming up to the general elections. everyone has their own political pressure points coming into this meeting which also plays into their positioning as we approach it. >> i think if you look at the g-20 statements we will get at the end, it probably will be one of the blander statements we have seen in recent diplomacy. we have the unprecedented g-7 statement where the u.s. stood outside and was a part from the consensus of the rest of the group on climate change. there are areas like fighting terrorism where you can get common ground. there is recognition from the powerful leaders that the age of austerity has probably come to an end and more needs to be done to as

suddenly angela has emerged.ting what we used to call the west, you're looking at her. >> richard david writes in the washington post that trump has the most to win or lose from this g-20 summit. trump's erratic tweets, public statements make it hard to predict his diplomatic strategy. trump thinks he gains leverage by making others uncertain. but the zigzags represent genuine uncertainly within this contentious white house. this president may be a deal maker, but he's not a strategist. in its presummit planning the white house has seemed to be preparing for two broad moves, a new joint effort with russia to stabilize syria, and a threat backed campaign to russia north korea to suspend missile and nuclear tests. both are worthy goals but each will require a diplomatic finesse that trump in his first six months in office has rarely shown. has he ever shown? >> and as we're looking at the pictures, we've seen donald trump being counseled by the treasury secretary and christine lagarde, part of this remarkable group

no love lost between donald trump and angela merkel. fashion very much as a globalist in benefits or country. her country from the global trade perspective enjoys a trade surplus with many of its partners. in fact with the united states to the tune of about $65 billion. president trump understands that dynamic that globalism has such a good part of our country behind and i think he wants to change that. as part of the paris climate accord that was a swipe at angela merkel, certainly a swipe at macron. it hurts american business and he will do what he needs to do. >> thank you is standing by as they monitor president trump's visit to poland. thank you. we also have some breaking news this morning here at home we want to bring to you representative steve scalise is back in intensive care at a washington hospital after contracting an infection from a gunshot wound last month. his condition has been downgraded to serious from fair. scully said for others hurt when a gunman opened fire at a gop baseball is in virginia. u.s. capitol police ki

angela merkel invited his daughter ivanka trump to an important women's forum. she sat next to christine legarde. it was a significant invite for merkel to invite ivanka here to get the ball rolling. it provided a significant role for merkel. ivanka trump can draw support from donald trump and show progress is being made. substantial progress. we heard christine legarde showing the support for women which is hugely important in the emerging markets and developing world. it shows this can help the role of women and help as president trump said to bring peace and stability as well. one of the other speakers talked about the value of the money that is contributed. $50 million by the u.s. other funds from saudi arabia, united arab emirates. one speaker said for about $1,000, you can educate a woman to take an entrepreneurial role. they have 300,000 women they would like to do that. this money is important. they need to build on it and put more money into it. one key thing and this was amplified by president kim and christine le garde. through the digital environment

angela merkel today laid the ground for a final declaration.mally one wants to have one with a few teeth, in other words with a clear step for the various member states to take going for it. in this case, he laid the groundwork for a final communication that may not be a consensus document. which may confirm that 19 members of the g 20 a firm that' -- g20 affirm that accord. climate change is a high priority for her. she wants a reference to a robust fight against global warming and for that reason i think the guides and advisers who accompany the heads of states, they're are going to have their work cut out for them. i don't think they will be seeing their pillows at alll. >> thank you for that. with nighttime closing in, tensions remain high on the streets of hamburg. there have been violent clashes between police and anti-g 20 different traders across the -- anti-g 20 demonstrators across the city today. one incident, a warning shot fired by a police officer as he was being attacked by a group of people. several buildings have been damaged.

we're waiting to hear the fruits of the meeting from angela merkel and president trump. any word if it's broken up and what they discussed? >> reporter: yeah. we're not sure whether it's broken up yet, john. we do know he's been in that meeting, i would say for almost an hour now. certainly it will be interesting to see what he's going to say or what both, or either, are going to say anything. the other thing going on and where actually i am now is at the main anti-g-20 demonstration which is now marching towards the very venue where we believe that meeting is taking place. you're absolutely right. a lot less of a warm welcome that he's receiving here than in poland. in fact, say around 10,000 protestors now that are on the move there. they obviously have a lot of issues with some of the policies of the trump administration and angela merkel did as well. she was also highly critical in newspaper articles in the run-up to this meeting taking place today saying that the two did not see eye-to-eye. especially on trade. but i migration and of course the environment. interest

angela: on the roads, we are heating up. are sluggish at this hour. i want to get you started with a look at what is happening on interstate 95. we are actually on 66. this is where we have cleared a couple of accidents. we are still with that crash, however. ramp restrictions as you merge in with 66 eastbound. you are going to see some break lights from the earlier accident activity. this is the big picture map. we are starting to fill in with a little bit of color, especially coming from the east side. your speeds are as low as 14 miles per hour. that is the latest from traffic watch. larry: this morning, president trump's travel been causing heart ache in prince george's county. the story of an adoption stopped in its tracks. first, tragedy out west. the deva veronica: take a look at this. in arizona, search operations continuing after deadly flash floods turned deadly over the weekend. missing and the weather threat is still up for that area. elizabeth hur is following the very latest. >> with crews in the air and search dogs on the ground, rescue

angela merkel there. was one of the few leaders to leave hamburg without holding a press conference. here he is boarding air force one back to washington. what is emerging is what happened during meetings he had with world leaders — including the chinese president. the chinese state news agency says xijingping called for more peace—making efforts on the korean peninsula. the other much talked about meeting — was of course — between donald trump and vladimir putin. here's what the russian president made of that meeting translation: the president of the usa posed the question, we discussed the question and it was not one question, it was many. he devoted a lot of time to it. our position is well known and i laid it out. there is no basis to save russia interfered in the us elections. what is important is that there should be no room for doubt on such things in future. i said this at the last g20 session. it is directly linked to cyberspace and the internet. we agreed with the president of the us that we cre

we can tell you that he met with german chancellor angela merkel. they shook hands in public, none of the obvious awkwardness that we saw the last time. later this hour the president scheduled to meet with the leaders of japan and south korea to talk among other things north korea. then there's tomorrow's headline event. the first face-to-face meeting between president trump and russia's president vladimir putin. we have reports and analysis on all of that, plus what the president said about russia, president obama, and the 2016 elections earlier today. but let's start with those protests. keir simmons on the grown. you can see on the right side of your screen walking with the protesters. we'll go to norah o'donnell in just a moment. keir, what are you seeing there? >> reporter: craig, we are now standing in front of the hardcore protesters, if you like, many of them covering their faces. they're all wearing black as you can see. i want to try to read what this -- g-20 welcome, i think this banner says. i don't think that's the idea, though, from th

. >>> president trump days away from crucial meetings from russian president vladimir putin and angelal at the g 20 summit in germany >> this is one of our top talkers tonight at 6:30, you're invited as always to join us. president trump is in poll land, he is expected to sit down with vladimir putin the white house isn't saying a lot about this meeting but a top russian advisor said the men will discuss the conflicts in syria and ukraine. there is no confirmation from the white house if they will talk about russia's interference in last year's u.s. presidential election >> joining to his talk about the trip and more is niles stand itch and michael star hopkins, let's start with you niles, these summits are no big deal, are we -- do we have too much going on when we say are they going to talk about the election or what >> i think that would be the big question here in the u.s. clear's, there are a lilt of allegations in the general atmosphere about that. i think president trump would frankly rick looking weak if he did not raise the issue at all. but as shawn pointed out a there's no c

merkel to release in the next hour or angela merkel to release in the next hourorso, it angela merkelase in the next hour or so, it appears she has had to broaden the terms of the statement a long way. on trade, we understand that the support for fire prevention but also for a country's right to protect itself. 0n climate change, there will be an acknowledgement that america has pulled out of the paris climate change but a commitment from all the other countries to implementing it so other countries to implementing it so this is a very broad church or a fudge if you are more critical of the 620 process. this report from oui’ the 620 process. this report from our correspondent. theresa may was hoping for warm words and donald trump had plenty. years keen to surely is open to free trade with the major ally. when it came to encouraging language, the president was clearly feeling generous. i'd like to thank trade minister theresa may for being with us. minister theresa may for being with us. we've had tremendous talks. there is no country that could possibly be closer as allies and i just

we had angela merkel.nd it's getting intense, rather everybody has to know this, europe must do more. europe must demonstrate that it believes in its future by investing its money to secure their future. neil: all right, the last time president trump was saying in first european trip european leaders were chuckling here that very few of them pay minimum of 2% and sure enough, at least half of dozen additional countries have managed to pony up that dose since he last said that, so something must be working. jim mattis saying at the pentagon that he does not look at this latest north korean icbm launch as bringing us closer to war in and of itself. the read on all page developments with former u.s. spokesperson rick and former deputy assistant to president bush blake berman -- i will get it right. i apologize for that, brad. it's been one of those days. >> i've never been so insulted. neil: i cannot blame you. one of the things that i look at when i get the response, they want to detensefy situation with nor

does he care that teresa may, like angela merkel doesn't like the travel ban, pokes him on immigrationrtainly not. this is also an administration that has spent a lot of time trying to build these personal relationsh relationships. they host it seems like a global leader a week at the white house, he's taken them down to mar-a-lago to kind of wine and dine them and bring them in. but the fact is that he fundamentally disagrees on so many issues with these various european leaders and you can just agree on the issues, it doesn't matter what you say about each other. >> having european leaderin ins sort of good for his base, sort of the nationalist wing of his base. >> the america first, pro brexit trump voter without a doubt. >> the other thing here is at the g-20, you have a different set of leaders and you do for nato, as he does with his first european trip. he has a more global aspect to his meeting, so he may turn to others that he may have more alliances with with the nato allies, but still, there's not a world leader on the stage that you can really point to as being chummy with

let's get on angela merkel. she does not like president trump's winners and losers pro. angela merkel said it is a tremendous mistake to think answers can be solved by isolationism and protectionism. we expect clashes over climate change including the paris climate treaty. what are your thoughts against merkel and trump? >> president trump landed in poland moments ago, it's late at night there. i'm convinced it will take half a baby aspirin for the president to sleep worried about what angela merkel said him. i think he's more just frustrated that she continues to have open borders in germany. it's proved to be disastrous. i think he understands that the paris climate deal was disastrous for the united states, and he's not going to sit around be and pushed around by angela merkel or anybody in the european union. so i really honestly think that if angela merkel believes she's going to intimidate donald trump and changing his behavior, she clearly doesn't know the man very well. liz: paramount for the president will be the defiant north korea, the regime launching first s

8 with angela merkel.nt obama was going to fade away like president bush? >> look, with all due respect to president trump, i think the last thing on his mind on president obama's mind is trying to shadow president trump right now. look, he is obviously got engagements, speaking engagements and whatnot across the globe. but i think the last thing on his mind rights now is trying to make sure that he is following donald trump. brian: he seems to though. right after the meeting with the south korean leader. having a sit down with him. i think it could be because president obama seems to have more international popularity. could be trying to swamp him. but i'm going to switch it over to you, jim. in the big picture. this question was asked of terry mcauliff who many people believe is going to be running for president. who is the leader of the democratic party? how would you answer that? >> well, as you say, the more time president obama spends out on the campaign -- out on making public apances or his various

already there, he has been meeting angela merkel. prime minister taking her time to get off that plane but the red carpet waiting for her and elsewhere in hamburg this evening we have been seeing demonstrations. these are live pictures of riot police with their white helmets and early on were charging some of the protesters. many of these protesters anti—capitalist protesters. welcome to hell was the name of one of the demonstrations. the police broke up a demonstration we were hearing early on because some of the protesters were wearing black bala clavas protesters were wearing black balaclavas and masks and disguises, which they're not allowed to do, so have been some clashes, water cannon fire, pepper spray fired as well. now it's time for meet the author. migration, human dislocation is one of the dominating political themes of our day. and it is the springboard for neel mukherjee in his new novel, a state of freedom. set in india, which portrays five different, but sometimes interlocking, lives that are in flux, on the move, loo

merkel, depending one being angela merkel, depending on your point of view, they were saying previouslyd not be at the front of the q and now we are doing business very quickly. he is signalling he wants it to be very fast. and for her there is a relationship that is not of the stature of the one with ronald reagan, but there seems to be a general warmth, although i don't see anything warm in theresa may or donald trump can't do that, but you are right. barack obama said we would be at the back of the q, are right. barack obama said we would be at the back of the 0, but whether this is translated into action, and we have still got brexit to deal with. we do not even have a vague outline of what kind of trade deal we are talking about. but the daily telegraph is quite optimistic and says because of this theresa may will be able to stave off any backbench rebellion in her cabinet thatis backbench rebellion in her cabinet that is coming her way. we will come to that in a moment. meanwhile, in the daily telegraph, us plans for armed officers in uk airports which could add to the cost of far

>> angela merkel and germany are hosting this summit. they have the presidency of the g-20 this year. the chancellor has stated that she will champion germany and europe's goals first and foremost as far as what is on the agenda. anti-terror is a huge part of that considering the attacks we saw in berlin over christmas, in france, in belgium and and england over the last couple of months. that will be an important topic. as far as sure that the official meetings go and the communique driven by the german presidency of g-20. vonnie: and on a completely separate topic, given how much we are concentrating on foreign affairs and international diplomacy, is washington completely dead? has everyone gone back to their constituencies to deal with what they might at home? >> all the action is in hamburg. it is raining here in washington. wes like the first slow day have had an along time. but senator ted cruz is putting forth some new proposals the have submitted. republicans are hopeful that they could potentially reach a deal next week. fbi dir
