people were wondering why is cnn hiring this chef and author, but it was because the cnn executives decidedst breaking news and headlines and start to bring in documentaries and cultural programming and new ways to tell stories. >> i would describe heistmyself lucky cook who gets to tell stories. not a journalist. not a chef anymore. like to flatter myself by saying ooip an essayist, but i'm a story teller. >> this was a risk for cnn and it was a risk for anthony. ♪ myanmar, after 50 years of nightmar somethi unexpected is happening here and it's pretty incredible. not too long ago, even filming here with a western film crew would have been unthinkable. in 2007 a japanese journalist was shot point-blank and killed filming a demonstration. >> i haven't be there to official myanmar. what's that like? >> i've been a lot of places 20 years after the soviet left and people still shy away from the camera. they still don't want to talk to you. they see a camera and they close up at the approach of an outsider here. >> myanmar, about a year ago -- you tossed in jail for consorting with foreigners.

dana bash, cnn's chris cillizza and cnn political commentator mark lamont hill. where the president left off, he wants professional football players he's been attacking and saying some should be thrown out of the country to suggest who he should pardon. what do you make of this? >> solid logic there. even if we were to ignore the fact that muhammad ali doesn't need a pardon, he was castigated for protesting, for resisting, for using his athletic position. it is ironic he wants to pardon muhammad ali, however erroneous the logic is, at the same time he wants to beat up on football players for doing the same thing. he's mischaracterizing the nfl players point. their point isn't that some people are being unfairly treated by the system, it is not about individual acts of mistreatment, it is about structural inequality, also about state violence, people being killed by law enforcement. so you can't pardon someone who is dead. you can't break out the ouija board and fix it. you need structural readjustment and have a change of laws. and that can't happen by -- >> i th

. >> we're covering every angle of this story like only cnn can. boris sanchez is at the white house with what the trump administration is saying. we're starting on the border with paolo sandoval and diane gallagh gallagher. dozens of members of congress are visiting the facilities around you right now. tell us what you're expecting, what they're expecting to see. >> victor, they are on the ground already. this is the latest wave of legislators who have travelled to what is one of the busiest sectors in the country when it comes to the apprehensions of people crossing the border illegally. lawmakers you may see in the southernmost tip of texas as we've heard from border offic l officials they lead the way in apprehensions across the country in this particular region and also prosecutors as we've heard yesterday. 262% increase in prosecution of these illegal entry cases, misdemeanor cases that we didn't often see, because of zero tolerance. that mean those courtrooms, we're seeing bigger numbers there and at the border patrol facilities where they g

we're live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta. we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm george howell. the "cnn newsroom" starts right now. >>> at 5:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast, we start with the separation of children from their families on the u.s. border with mexico. it is happening. critics call it inhumane and unconscionable. but the white house says it's not their fault, but the facts show 2,000 children have been separated from their parents. that is just from mid-april through may. this according to the department of homeland security. the increase in family separations is the result of the trump administration's zero tolerance policy. that policy where adults face criminal charges for entering the united states illegally. president trump falsely blamed the democrats. let's listen. >> the democrats gave us the laws. now i want the laws to be beautiful, humane, but strong. i don't want bad people coming in. i don't want drugs coming in. and we can solve that problem in one meetin

brian todd, cnn, washington. >> joining me now, scott jennings, cnn political commentator and specialto george w. bush and d.c. democratic chairman and scott and scott. scott boldin, may i use your first name so we're not confused on who we're talking to? >> you mean my first name alan? >> my mother will love you for the next 6 1/2 minutes. >> terrific. you're alan for the next 6 1/2 minutes. scott, let me start with you. one on one in the oval office with the president, have they earned it? >> i don't think they've done enough to get relief from the sanctions. i think both sides are inching towards a meeting that is absolutely necessary if you want to have a denuclearized peninsula. if they don't talk and don't meet, we'll have the status quo, which is not acceptable to the american people and frankly shouldn't be acceptable to the rest of the world. i do think they have to do certain meetings like this to get ready for a summit. i want to see this succeed. i'm dubious that the north koreans will ever denuclearize. obviously their mission is to get sanctions relief while giving up as

joining me is brian karam, a cnn political analyst. olivia nuzzi and doug hyatt and a cnn political commentator. how did we end up here? >> that's a good question. i will tell you, it didn't start with the trump administration. it began probably 30, 40 years ago when i first started covering the border. this has been an issue that has been buried by both sides, the democrats and republicans. it has been glossed over. it came full force because of the steps that donald trump took. that is because they have the mistaken belief that this will act as a deterrent, separating parents and childrens will deter those who have nothing and who have already lost everything. you take a look at the situations that you showed just a few seconds ago with the video showing where these people are being housed and point of fact, and it's cruel to say this, but those are better living conditions than what they come from. anything you say about deterring immigration by doing this is just flat i wrong. the president has made the decision to do it. he has li

let's bring in cnn's matthew chance live in moscow. matthew, this is the continuation of president putin welcoming world leaders as the world cup is in russia. >> reporter: this is the russian world cup diplomacy. russia has been considered isolated because of the sanctions placed on it by the united states and european union and others by actions in ukraine and syrian conflict. the tournament which bught in nations from all over the world is providing cover and excuse for the top world leaders to come and have high-level contacts with the counterparts. that is what president moon is doing right now. they have serious things to discuss. not least the situation on the korean peninsula. russia is a player in that situation because it has diplomatic relations with pongyang and it has a good relationship with south korea as well. it has been pushing itself forward as an important player whose interests should be considered if there is a settlement on the korean peninsula. and trade relationship that russia wants to discuss. they want to bu

we explore this issue on cnn this sunday.ns behind the staggering rates of incarceration in the united states. and ryan young has a preview. >> you first get in cars rated, you remember this number the rest of your life. for the rest of your life. why? because it follows you. >> each of the three former inmates spent decades in and out of prison and jail. they currently live in a chicago transition home where they find a job and place to live as they re-enter society. avoiding returning to jameil is full-time job. >> you have to walk around with these papers for the next 10 or 13 years. i say why? and the word she used are these are your traveling papers. we know what traveling papers are, where it originated from. i said i'm not a slave. >> the united states incars rates more citizens, more than 2 million are locked up. former inmates face a parole system that puts them in jail for violations other citizens would never be arrested for. many face large fees from time spent in jail, fees they struggle to pay off. the cnn film

joining us now, cnn's ryan nobles, also cnn's senior international correspondent ivan watson in singapore. ryan, that's the president's side of how this g7 summit went. great meetings. everyone understands. not quite the same view, though, from the other leaders there. >> you know, ana, i spent the last hour watching all the press conferences from these foreign leaders at the end of the g7 summit and it's interesting to get their perspective on how things went. they're very careful to not be overtly critical of president trump, and they really made an attempt to try to convince reporters that's there was broad agreement on a number of big issues, but when reporters pressed them on these big divides between president trump and some of these other countries, they were hard-pressed to come up with any examples of where these barriers have been broken down, specifically on that issue of tariffs and trade. take a listen to what the country of the -- the host country prime minister justin trudeau had to say about his meetings with president trump. take a listen. >> it would be with regret but i

>>> this is cnn breaking news. >> you are in the cnn newsroom, i'm ana cabrera in new york. we have breaking news right now in south texas. shouting, chaos, anger. protesters putting their own bodies in front of a bus at a migrant detention center. this is right along the border. listen to this. >> shame on you! shame on you! shame on you! shame on you! >> this crowd face-to-face with border patrol agents in mcallen, texas, as a bus loaded with children we've learned was attempting to leave the property. let's go right to the scene. cnn's polo sandoval is there with us. polo, who was on that bus? do we know where it was going? >> we don't. the chaos has come to a close now after a relatively tense moment a little while ago, these members of a civil rights group, members from all over the state came here to mcallen, texas, close to the border to stage a protest and demonstration outside a border patrol facility when one of these white unmarked buses that we know are used to transport some of these undocumented people pulled out of the facility and that's when the protest spil

cnn tom foreman joins me now from annapolis. and tom, you have new reporting about the suspect. what could you tell us? >> reporter: we know that four years ago, he was fired from a job as a subcontractor to the bureau of labor statistics, the federal bureau. and they cited at the time security -- suitable concerns, security suitable concerns and he sued them but it is not clear what that is about but what is clear is that this is a very troubled man. >> the fellow was there to kill as many people as he could. >> reporter: the attack was planned and the newspaper a specif specific target and the weapon a pump action shotgun and that is what police said as the suspect jared ramos was denied bail on five counts of first murder. president trump weighed in too. >> journalists like all americans should be free from the fear of being violently attacked while doing their job. >> the glass shattered and i turned around -- >> but amid the horror, police and folks at the paper are sharing stories of that 38-year-old man's apparently simmering rage and years of warning signs. >> he was goi

a right wing bias. >> i'm a fan of cnn. let me just go on the record here i'm biased towards cnn. i don't even mention their name. >> smart move, my friend, smart move. don't bite the hand that feeds you. >> i also think there is some salacious -- we're talking about the tweets, don. and there is a salacious thing happening in the media. anit is what it is. but having said all of that, the press has a very important function, and this is to alert the american public and to hold powerful people accountable. and you know the first thing. you all of the sudden talk about they're going to come in and take our guns. well, that's the second thing they're going to do. the first thing you do when you're dictator in an authoritarian regime, the first you do is take over the press. >> you just said what i said. >> yeah. so this is part of the american fabric. >> this is all about the rule of law. this is a president who, has disdain, and the mueller investigation has kept him continually enraged. he conflates the press with the mueller investigation because he knows that both a free press a

cnn broke the story. they issued a statement saying in part, quote, his talents never ceased to amaze us and we will miss him very much. our thoughts and prayers are with his daughter and family at this incredibly difficult time. bourdain won nearly every award in the industry. the smithsonian once called him, quote, the original rock star of the culinary world. he wrote a best-selling book as well that really launched his career in this travel business and tv, just to many accolades. he will certainly be missed. >> thinking of his 11-year-old daughter as well this morning. >>> we want to remind you, as part of abc 7's take action campaign, we have a list of local resources including how you can get help with mental health issues. go to abc7news.com/takeaction. we're also tweeting and putting our facebook pages, the numbers for the suicide prevention hotline that's available 24 hours a day if you or someone you know may be in danger of self-harm. >>> going to move on now and talk about new details we're l

. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >>> you are live in the "cnn newsroom." i'm ana cabrera in new york. president trump through his lawyers arguing there's no way he obstructed justice. one of the reasons, in short, because he is the president, period. "the new york times" obtained this confidential letter written by the president's legal team and hand delivered to special counsel robert mueller's office back in january. it is 20 pages long. it makes quite a few claims, among them that the president can't possibly obstruct the russia investigation because he is in charge of it, and everyone involved with it. here is what trump's legal team says about that. quote, it remains our position that the president's actions here by virtue of his position as the chief law enforcement officer could neither constitutionally nor legally constitute obstruction because that would amount to him obstructing himself, and that he could if he wished terminate the inquiry or even exercise his power to pardon if he so desired. the letter also acknowledges that trump did in fact d
