what should we expect there today, elise?orter: dave, you can see behind me the event is getting set up. speakers are starting to get ready and the music is already starting to play. very high level delegation here from the u.s. dozens of congress members and business men in addition to the head of the delegation. deputy secretary john sullivan and steve mnuchin and jared kushner, the president's son-in-law, he is set to reveal the peace plan in the coming weeks. and ivanka trump. let's see if you can hear me over the music. she tweeted thank you, prime minister netanyahu and mrs. netanyahu. i'm honored to join you in the u.s. delegation in come memorand -- in celebrating the embassy and celebrating the friendship between our two countries. president trump will have a videotape to address the crowd and prime minister netanyahu will address the crowd. he will obviously call on other nations to move their embassy to jerusalem. there was a controversial speaker set to address the crowd. the southern baptist pastor robert jeffres

elise labott at the new embassy. thank you. mitt romney, a critic of the president, says jeffers says you cannot be saved by being a jew. he says the same about islam. such a religious bigot should not give the prayer that opens the united states embassy in jerusalem. romney says of robert jeffress. >>> and protests on the gaza border. israeli defense forces tweeting out a video warning hamas may attempt to breach security and carry out a massacre. more than 100,000 palestinians are expected to demonstrate. we have ian lee in gaza. 100,000. you are seeing people burn tires to hide location from snipers. what else is happening? >> reporter: christine, just a while ago before we came to air, a drone had flown right behind me and dropped tear gas into the crowd and into this area. scattering the people. this is already gearing up to be a very tense morning. you see the black smoke from the burning tires behind me. we have seen tear gas. we have seen ambulances ferrying the injured to hospital. we have seen thousands of people comi

elise jordan, former aide in the george w. bush white house and state department and rick steng l former under secretary of state former diplomacy and former managing editor for time magazine. let me start with you and ask you, having worked -- actually all three of us having worked at the highest levels of a west wing to see the kinds of people that used to be really granted a lot of deference when they walked into the west wing for a meeting with the president sounds alarms. to see people like michael hayden, people who had famously low profiles in government, now can't sound the alarms loudly enough about what they're seeing from this president. >> i remember going home from the west wing and thinking to myself, i sleep better because of people like lisa monaco, john brennan, every single day protecting the country, didn't matter whether it was george bush, barack obama, these people were patriots trying to do a good job. you look at the incredible attacks on all the branches, judiciary, intelligence services, if barack oba

elise was just alluding to it. it's been a big week, if you are here in iran as well. the u.s.ulling out of that agreement, and the altercation that happen eed on syrian territory. one thing to be pictured there, reading "fire and fury" but the supreme leader said that president trump's corpse would be fodder for worms while the islamic republic of iran would still stand. fiery language. while iranians have not yet said that they were part of that altercation that took place in syria with those two sides firing rockets at each other, those two issues seem to be seriously intertwined for the iranians. iranian commander, the general, who was saying that israel's security would be at peril with the u.s. pulling out of the nuclear agreement, i want to read part of the statement that he said. treatment of the nuclear deal by trump will fail to produce result resul results desired by. zionists, meaning the israelis, would rather speed up annihilation of the usurper regime. the foreign minister of iran will go around to russia, china, european countries to see if they can find some wa

elise, what are you hearing from the u.s. state department in terms of whether there is real optimism to potentially get this summit back on track? >> fred, i think that there is a real willingness and a desire and an expectation that this summit will get back on track eventually. i'm not sure if anybody thinks except for president trump that june 12th is really still a good idea, because the same problems remain, that the u.s. doesn't at this point have super clarity about what the agenda would be. obviously kim jong-un meeting with president moon of south korea and the statement that the north koreans put out show the desire and willingness, but i'm not sure if the u.s. really knows that the commitment to denuclearize, to put all the things that the u.s. needs to see on the table. that in the end is really why president trump canceled the summit in the first place. not really because of the rhetoric but because there wasn't that clarity about seriousness of purpose on the north korean side. >> and so what are the indicators

and it should be opposed. >> elise, let me ask you to pick up on steve's theme. you've got a situation now where cabinet secretaries when they're on capitol hill and under oath have a hard time towing the line. this was pompeo earlier today. let's watch. >> do you believe there is a criminal deep state at the state department? >> i don't -- i haven't seen comments from the president. i don't believe there is a deep state at the state department. >> thank you. you formerly served as cia director. do you believe your colleagues of the cia are part of the criminal deep state? >> you know, this term deep state has been thrown around. i'll say this. the employees that worked for me at the cia nearly uniformly were aimed at achieving the president's objectives and america's objectives. >> it hasn't been thrown around, it was tweeted by the president in the last 48 hours. >> this exchange yesterday made me smile a little bit because the idea that the state department, perhaps the most risk averse of all of our cabinets -- and i worked there and i know this firsthand. th

let me go straight to our global affairs analyst and correspond elise labott. if you could just read us the entirety of this letter. >> the letter is stunning, not just because of the news it contained, but the way it is written to kim jong-un from president trump. it is addressed to his excellency kim jong-un, chairman of the democratic people's republic of north korea. it goes, dear mr. chairman, we greatly appreciate your time, patience and effort with respect to our recent negotiations and discussions relative to a summit long sought by both parties, which was scheduled to take place on june 12th in singapore. we were informed the meeting was requested by north korea, but that to us is totally irrelevant. i looked very much forward to being there with you. based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement, i feel it is inappropriate at this time to have this long planned meeting. therefore, please let this letter serve to represent that the singapore summit for the good of both parties but to the detriment of the world

defending champion simona halep is through to the last 16 of the madrid open after victory over belgium's eliseertens. hello and welcome to the programme where we start with the news that paris saint germain have won the coupe de france for a fourth successive year after a 2—0 victory over third tier les herbiers. the result didn't provide the fairytale that many were hoping for as a goalfrom giovani lo selso in the first half was added to by an edinson cavani penalty 16 minutes from the end with the parisians continuing their bid to seal a domestic treble for outgoing coach unai emery. a record 12th title in this tournament also means psg have not lost in 42 domestic cup games with just the league required to make it a clean sweep of this years competitions in france with both captains holding the trophy aloft together in a nice touch. southampton have all but sealed their place in the premier league after manolo gabiadini came off the bench to hit the winner at swansea city. the result means west bromwhich albion‘s fate is sealed and they'lljoin stoke city in english football's second tier ne

elise, fast forward for us. let's say these two men agree on the contours or the framework of what this is going to be. is president trump constrained by that once he gets there? because, remember, this is the i, and i alone, president. >> i think is donald trump contaco constrained by agreement? i would say that's the least. his other advisers who are opposed to these talks with north korea, i think those are really the road mines. you look at what tripped up the process last week. it was really john bolton's comments followed up by mike pence's, comparing the libya model which, you know, might have been okay in 2003 but by the end of it didn't end gadhaf. if they decide they're going against mike pompeo's effort, that's not good for any potential agreement. >> trump is speaking. >> we're going to have a little fun today. thank you very much. [ inaudible question ] i don't know. i don't know. if you know, steve, let me know, okay? i think it will be very positive. i think it will be very positive. meetings have

elise gordon. elise, every other country in the agreement including russia and china.g they want to save the deal. what does that mean? meaning russia having more diplomatic ties more so than we do. >> you got the attention of the united states. would we punish countries that still trade with iran? that's going to put us in a perilous position with our allies. i would point out or mark contrast with how quickly the trump administration proposes reinstating sanctions with iran, and but with russia, but hey, that's our foreign policy these days. >> john president obama writes in a democracy, there will be always be changes in policies and priorities from one administration to the next. but the consistent flouting of agreements that our country is a party to risks eroding america's credibility and puts us at odds." >> unusual for a predecessor to be as straightforward and blunt. extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. i think george bush gave a speech about not building walls. >> do you agree with the sentiment? >> oh, absolutely. elections have consequences.

be checking in with you through the day at the elise a presidential palace. with me on the set is robert parsons. talk to us a bit more about the role of france in all of this. why hasn't stepped to the forefront in this particular conflict in libya? what does it need to make happen for things to change there? robert: it is a good question. many said there was no need for france to get involved at this stage. weretalians in particular concerned last year when france intoed the rival leaders this meeting in paris today, to come to paris to go head-to-head to talk about where things should move forward. plus, there was an already existing u.n. roadmap. france would argue that something needs to be done to push things forward to be not just unity in the country, but also solidarity from the regional power. what the conference in paris today has done is bring all those elements together. the big powers like turkey, russia, the european union, italy, african states, the north -- they haveypt all been brought together. from the many factions area of western libya w

let's go to elise lavin, global correspondent.lise, what are you hearing about the security preparations ahead of tomorrow's opening? >> reporter: well, fred, it's not just security here in jerusalem, and for now the roads leading to that embassy in the district of jerusalem has been blocked off. they've been planting israeli and american flags, and some residents in the area have told me the whole area has been closed off for some time today. but in addition, as you mentioned at the gaza border, a lot of concern about protesters breaking through the walls between gaza and israel, and so israeli forces have doubled their amount of forces down there. obviously tomorrow a very important day, not just for the u.s. and israel, but in terms of the larger regional tensions, a lot of tension right now not just with the palestinians but iran. you have the palestinian day of rage in protest of this move on tuesday, and then you also have the start of rahmadan, so something they've been preparing for. >> there have long been hope for settle

elise?> reporter: the streets of jerusalem have been blocked off around the embassy while flags are planted, both israeli and american. you can see president trump signs, make america great again, make israel great again. so certainly a lot of attention being paid to this ceremony tomorrow. in addition to ivanka trump, jared kushner, deputy secretary of state john sullivan will be leading the delegation. there will also be a very controversial prayer given by the pastor robert jefrus, who is a pastor from dallas. very controversial remarks in the past against muslims, against gays. he will be speaking, giving the prayer before the ceremony, and he says he will be talking about president trump in terms of his support for israel and the israelites. while he's not jewish, certainly that connection by evangelicals to israel. >> elise, thank you so much. so all of this happening as the volatile region is escalating closer to a boiling point. now let's check in with ian lee live from gaza. tell us

elise, thank you very much. joining us now, cnn national security analyst, let's talk about the now as we're watching mike pompeo facing these questions and bipartisan tough questions because both parties want to know what's going on with north korea and the secretary of state saying hey, we're moving forward, we continue to be negotiating hear and give us a sense of what's happening behind the scenes here. >> he talked about the kinds of things that he spoke about with kim jong-un and that sounds like a negotiation to me. we laid out our opening salvo, complete and verifiable denuclearization. kim laid out his demands of peace treaty and security guarantees and economic concessions and that's what negotiation is, and the back and forth. the problem is that we have the somewhat arbitrary june 12th deadline coming up and so the clock is ticking and so my hope would have been that we would have given ourselves the space to let negotiators like mike pompeo and others do the work. >> here's the problem, is the presi

speaking on what elise just mentioned, we have breaking news. the palestinian ministry of health saying 16 people are dead as large scale protests break out on the gaza border amid the u.s. embassy avenues move to jerusalem. we have more on the breaking details. ian? >> reporter: let me just show you kind of behind me what is going on right now. you can probably see this thick, black smoke. this has been occurring all day. it is tbscurehe sights of israeli snipers. but also you have these crowds of people, thousands of people here at this camp. this is just one of many up and down the border. we have also seen drones dropping tear gas. it sounds like gunfire shooting up at the drones from the camp. also kites lit on fire. then they are let go and they fly across the border. and we see at least a number of fires that have been started from these fire kites. it is really a chaotic day. at least 16 people have been killed. hundreds of people have been injured. just a little while ago, erica, we heard what sounded like tank fire south of our positio

and to elise's point, this was set up by donald trump because he thought in his arrogance that he coulding nobody else had ever done before, which was bypass all the groundwork that needs to be laid when you're talking about particularly the denuclearization of an entire country, just bypass it because you have a relationship with somebody that you can maybe work things out, and i think he's kind of realizing that the groundwork needs to be done first, and it just wasn't. >> we're getting more information even as we speak. so stick around. we have more to discuss. we're also following other breaking news right now. >>> the u.s. justice department holding not one, but two, highly classified briefings after the president's furious and unproven claims that the fbi planted a spy in his presidential campaign. we'll help put the swirs thecon theories to rest or not. ...plusn relieving strength of aleve. i'm back. aleve pm for a better am. our because of smoking.ital. but we still had to have a cigarette. had to. but then, we were like. what are we doing? the nicodermcq patch helps prevent you

. >> our global affairs correspondent elise labott joins us. this is a big day.'re at the state department and the president is about to head there in just a few moments. morale, no question, needs to be lifted at the state department. what is expected to be different? what are you hearing from people within the department about pompeo now at the helm? >> well, guys, i already think yesterday secretary pompeo went a long way to acknowledging that there is a low morale problem and he'll improve it with the first official act yesterday was to lift this hiring freeze on family members overseas of american diplomats. it sounds like something very small, but it was something that secretary tillerson put a freeze on, and it was something very important to diplomats overseas. already people are saying he's saying the right things and he has the ear of the president. those close to the secretary told me that the idea of president trump coming here and swearing in secretary pompeo officially today was a joint decision for the president to come and show the support for the

cnn global affairs correspondent elise lavit. a former ambassador who served as a point person for korea. and senior military analyst retired general mark hurtley. elise, it's extraordinary to see north korea give ground like this, isn't it? >> we don't know how much ground they actually gave. they gave a statement, as president trump said. it was a very nice statement saying they'd like the summit to be on. but i think the original reasons that president trump had to cancel this summit, and i don't think it was about the rhetoric, about vice president pence or anything like that. i think it was more a lack of understanding or clarity about what north korea was really willing to discuss and put on the table in terms of this denuclearization and giving up its mcnamee. i'm not sure they necessarily gave them that. until there are more full discussions, i think the same reasons apply. i'm not sure if the summit will be any more success if it happens than it would have before. >> ambassador, you've been at the negotiating table with

now to cnn global affairs correspondent elise labbot in jerusalem. the new embassy set to open on monday. could the region be at its breaking point? also tying in with that kind of opening of an embassy? >> well, then you also have the beginning of ramadan starting early this week, and nachba day for the palestinians, the day following. there's been a lot of tensions in gaza on friday after friday prayers. several hundred injured as rioters were against that border wall with israel. one was shot dead. that brings the total to 50 in recent weeks. so there's been a lot of, you know, escalation of tensions. i think it's all coming to a head around the same time. so certainly there is a concern on monday with the controversial opening of the embassy, that there will be more protesters trying to breach that wall against the gaza/israel crossing. and then you also have the iran deal and the escalations with -- between israel and the iranians. i think israel really see also right now this opportunity to go against iran. this is the first time in recent hist

elise labbot is a cnn global affairs correspondent. julian zelizer is a cnn political analyst and historian at princeton university. good to see you both. two days ago, the summit looked dead in the water, kaput, finished, especially with the letter coming from the white house. even though he said he would be open to something along the lines. now that the north and south korean, the leaders have met, how hopeful does that make the entire scenario? >> i think it shows that the north koreans are serious about meeting. they were obviously scrambling after president trump sent the letter. seems like an attempt by president trump to kind of gain control of the situation because the north koreans weren't answering the calls of secretary of state mike pompeo and his team to set up the summit. we talked about the rhetoric that caused president trump to cancel the summit. i think it was less about the rhetoric itself and more about the concern that the -- that north korea was not serious. i think the fact that kim jong-un is meeting with presi

let me bring in elise labott and chris cillizza. what are you hearing there?ngs came out at me, number one, the amount of cabinet members that were there and the fact that the president came, so much different than secretary tillerson and the president really wanting to show that mike pompeo is his man, and the fact that he learned a little bit and i've never heard the president speak this way about the state department in coming there and talking to the employees, he might have learned about what he said are extraordinary diplomat, too. mike pompeo spoke the president's language. he said he'll defend america and he'll gain the respect of allies overseas. he made clear that the president can trust that he will execute his foreign policy and mike pompeo talking to what he called his team in his first e-mail to the state department, he called them a team and he signed it as mike and he said i need all of you, mr. president, i have confidence in my team, and i do think after the year and a half of secretary tillerson, low morale, i do think the president with sec

and with us elise jordan, a former aide in the bush white house and state department. sam stein, politics editor for "the daily beast." and steve schmidt. peter baker, let me start with you. you and your colleagues have been on this all day ahead of the announcement. the last story i read on this, you've included the joint statement from president macron of france, prime minister theresa may of britain and angela merkel of germany urging iran to continue to meet its own obligations under the deal despite the america withdrawal. you quote them, we encourage iran to show restraint in response to the decision by the u.s. it sounds like we have a real policy dispute and split now with some of our closest allies. thanch >> we have a big schism with the biggest allies we have in europe on one of the most important issues to them and the united states. they're saying that they're still in this deal just because president trump has gotten out and they want to find a way to salvage it with iran. despite the statement, it's going to be hard for europe to do. american sanctions w

elise labott joins us with the latest. elise, you were at the opening ceremony today. what can you tell us? . >> reporter: well, anderson, i think you can call it a love fest would not be an overestimation. it's impossible to overestimate how popular president trump is with this move to move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem. driving up even to the embassy, there are all these signs that say president trump will make israel great again, trump is a friend of israel. and i think that the israelis feel that after years of president obama that there is a u.s. president that does have their back, that you just saw last week, he pulled out of the iran deal and cited evidence from prime minister netanyahu. that was really the theme of today, all of the speakers praising president trump. eve everyone in his administration who was named whether they were there or not. john bolton, nikki haley, mike pence, mike pompeo. everyone got a standing ovation, but it was really jared kushner who was the keynote speaker that got the kind of loudest applause and, of course, he was, you know, p

elise just read the letter, laid out all of this. he addressed kim as chairman kim.he letter by saying we greatly appreciate your time and patience but said after north korea threatened a nuclear showdown with the united states, called the vice president a political dummy, president trump says this is off. what is your top line on this? >> yeah, it is sort of like a nuclear dear john letter, right? it starts with some politeness, but the bottom line is remarkable. and what does it show you? it shows you the relationship between the u.s. and north korea does not turn on a dime. the president has suggested that, going from the rhetoric at the u.n. general assembly last septemb september, little rocket man, and then turning just in the last couple of weeks to calling him honorable. this dictator honorable in his discussions about the summit. claimi ining north korea was go to give up its weapons when that assessment was doubted he used nuclear weapons as a means to his survival and then you had a return from the north korean side to the rhetoric we were more used to, vo

elise, what does this mean?eally means is that they're worried about the upcoming elections and they're trying to throw a bone to their extreme base but it's a terrible miscalculation. the majority of this country supports access to abortion, supports planned parenthood and other providers, and our side is really fired up and they're hemorrhaging women voters from their party. so i think it's a tragic miscalculation and it's going to tragically hurt women in the process. >> wendy, part of what is clearly on the table with donald trump here is a transactional or negotiated approach to this. we showed the clips that were all over the place. i want to play for you cecile richards describing her dealings with the trump administration while she was head of very relevantly planned parenthood. take a listen. >> what jared kushner said to me is if i can get a headline that says planned parenthood discontinues abortion services, i can probably guarantee your funding. i said we will never do that. >> wendy, what does that

what do you make of that, elise? >> it all stems from the top, chris.his is a president who has shown himself repeatedly to have an unparalleled ability to just unleash casual cruelty. you look at all of the numerous incidents targeting a gold star family, attacking a woman, a war widow whose husband had just died. there is no limit. and so, of course, it's unsurprising that this is the way that white house staffers behave when donald trump is so consistently cruel himself. >> malcolm, what is it? just tough guy talk? do you think it was done in some context we're missing? because on the surface it, sounds awful. what do you think it meant? why would you say something like that? is it like, does it show that you're just purposefully, publicly callous and you want to seem that way? i don't get it. >> this isn't tough guy talk, okay? for every member of the armed forces who has ever served understands the sacrifice that our prisoners of war have endured and have gone through. what we have here and as you said, it's a fish that's rotting from the top. this

cnn's elise lavin is live at the embassy. elise, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, eric kafp erica. the mood inside is really jubilant. this is a long day that has been long coming. and as prime minister netanyahu said, it is an emotional day. the closest ally would be recognizing jerusalem as their capital. it is a crushing blow to palestinians who see this as a terrible sign of disrespect from the u.s. and they will be out todayen masse making frustrations felt. >> today we finally acknowledged the obvious, that jerusalem is israel's capital. >> the trump administration of ending decades of established american policy officially moving the u.s. embassy in israel from tel aviv to jerusalem. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu praising the move while kicking off a gala attended by ivanka trump, jared kushner, and steve mnuchin. >> thank you for your bold decision. thank you for make the alliance between israel and the united states stronger than ever. >> reporter: the israeli people also celebrating the occasion.

. >> cnn global affairs correspondent elise laffit is covering this from jerusalem. jerusalem should show more restraint, the white house responded hamas should bear responsibility for the entire situation. there's a perception that this is the u.s. picking a side. >> reporter: well, yeah, of course they picked a side, brian brianna. usually in previous years, you would caveat that israel has a right to defend itself but we urge restraint on both sides. you're not even hearing that caveat use restraint. you're hearing it from the other sides. those can i countountries are s hamas is responsible, they are insta ga instigating it but israel has to use restraint and calibrate how they're responding. i think you're going to see this administration pay more attention to gaza as jared kushner and greenblatt roll out their peace deal. you would think the administration would start to show a little bit more understanding for what's going on there. i think that if president trump can talk to kim jong un, i think there are going to be a lot of people wondering why he can't tal

elise, let's begin with you.w embassy in jerusalem set to open on monday prove to be an explosive situation in an already combustible region? >> reporter: i mean, fred, i think there is a concern that that could happen. you know, this is coming on the heels of a lot of conflict as you said in the region, the trade of unprecedented gun -- rocket fire between iran and israel retaliating. and then you have the embassy. you have the start of ramadan also early this week, and the day after the embassy opening. a lot of this toxic mix of tension, really, at this time. i think the israelis are certainly ready for a lot of protests from the gaza strip. there's a lot of concern that thousands of protesters could breach the wall between israel and gaza. already the israelis have closed a crossing which is where a lot of goods go across because riders on friday had really threw a lot of pipe bombs and really tried to cause a lot of chaos. certainly there's a lot of concern about the situation in gaza, and then you have the

elise, first to you. there is still real mystery about what happened in cuba, but pompeo seems to suggest that this is very similar. what are you hearing? >> well, kate, he seems to suggest that the kind of pressure of sounds and these symptoms which when we talk about a mild, traumatic brain injury we're talking about symptoms like a concussion, nausea, dizziness, loss of balance and those are symptoms that are consistent with china. they still don't know what happened in cuba and what's interesting is the government -- the administration was very clear at the time in accusing the cuban government. >> right. >> you didn't hear secretary pompeo say anything about whether the chinese government would be involved and praising the chinese government for cooperation. so the secretary is waiting for a panel and what they call an accountability review board from the independent panel that was set up by the state department to find out what went on in cuba. he should be getting that in the next week or so and su

cnn global affairs correspondent elise labott is standing by with more details on this. let's begin with kaitlan collin at the white house. what are you hearing? >> we're learning a lot more about the backdrop behind the decision to cancel what could have been a very historic summit in singapore between president trump and kim jong-un. i am told by people inside the white house that the final decision to pull out of this summit was made by president trump this morning after he spent the morning on the phone with the secretary of state mike pompeo, his national security adviser john bolton, and the vice president mike pence, among other several -- several other national security aides that the president was speaking with. this decision comes after that very fiery and aggressive statement from a north korean senior official that called pence a political dummy for comparing what could happen in north korea to what happened in libya. but i'm told that the final straw was that sentence at the end of the north koreans statement that threatened nuclear war essentially saying, q

elise jordan, former advisor to senator rand paul's campaign.he's also an msnbc political analyst. obviously the relationship between rex tillerson and donald trump was not a good one. we know from the way that he was fired through twitter. we know from the way john kelly first alerted it to him and all those sordid details about that. we also know that rex tillerson according to our reporting called the president a moron after talk of nuclear warheads and nuclear capabilities. for him to come out and make this commencement address and bring some of it public, why do you think he would do that? >> i think that for rex tillerson the level of truth that the trump administration and the president himself presents to the american public was always problematic. you look at how when he reportedly said the moron comments, which a [ bleep ]ing moron in front of it, actually, he never denied it. he didn't dig down into it but he didn't outright deny it. you look at other trump surrogates such as dina powell and h.r. mcmaster. they would deny things on be
