in the meantime with us to share their reporting and their insights, cnn's nia-malika henderson, rachel bade and julie pace. i want to start with china, obviously, pause we were all paying attention over the weekend because we have no lives. but this is also very, very important. we've seen kind of the topsy-turvy go-around. i want to play what president trump said about chinese president xi jinping. take a listen. >> frankly, i think that china cannot -- i don't know, maybe they can, maybe they can't. i don't think they can do that. i think they're very smart. and i think president xi is a great leader who happens to be a brilliant man and he can't lose 3 million jobs in a very short period of time and that's going to be magnified many times over and it's going to break down the chinese centimeter of trade -- system of trade and he can't do that. >> there's two pieces of that sounding. i want to start with how he's referring to president xi which on friday he tagged him with the idea of an enemy and now he's a brilliant man. we go back and forth. this is a cycle we've repeated so many

and malika henderson. you're all important in my book, but scott and i'm not being hyperbolic, you wrote an op-ed and when i read it, and i read it in bed, i sat up straight. why because i know that what you say mitch mcconnell hears and sometimes, sometimes mitch mcconnell speaks. so scott, what you wrote last night is you cannot legislate the crazy and evil out of humanity, but you can damn sure let the american people know that political leaders of goodwill exist in our polarizing world and they will set all of this scar tissue aside to reassure a nation asking itself what is wrong with us. and then you wrote you would be in favor of universal background checks of some kind and perhaps a ban on high capacity magazines like the hundred round drums used in the shootings in dayton. my question to you is do you see movement now? can i read what you wrote last night as movement in this discussion? will republicans and the majority leader perhaps be willing to pass legislation on universal background checks a

let's speak now to jackie kucinich and cnn senior political reporter nia-malika henderson.e president will hand in a few moments. this is a community reeling. i've heard it from so many people. you heard it a moment ago. that was a republican state senator issuing a challenge to the president to do something now on gun control. nia, as these communities prepare for this visit, demanding action, do you see this president as one who's going to deliver action? >> i think in many ways, folks want the president to deliver on two things. one is gun control and the other is white supremacy. the other has to do with his own rhetoric. it was really interesting to see that state senator there. she didn't really want to talk about the white supremacy part of it, right. she really wanted to focus on gun control. it's going to be interesting to see if that's a move that other republicans try to make. as good as it is, that there could be movement on gun control, there is this other problem with white supremacy, which we saw in el paso, saw obviously with cory booker there speaking from

malika, you were listening to that.g is the president has a doubtful track record, to say the least, about his handling of the truth. he speaks mistruth all the time. what do you see in his comments? do you see a falling market and say i've got to share positive news? >> i think that's probably right. if you noticed on friday, you saw that big dip in the market and he sort of waited until after the markets closed to announce tariffs and then he had the kind of walk back where he was like, i regret it. another walkback, which was i don't regret it, i wish there were higher tariffs. he seems to have made up this story going into the markets this morning saying there were high level talks. no evidence of that. so yeah, i definitely think he has an eye towards the market and always has. the strength of the market, he has seen as his strength as the president. he's gone before audiences and said, how is your 401(k) doing to many audiences, so that has been the world in which he's viewed his own success. obviously when it tak

. >> nia-malika henderson, you heard senator cory booker's words there, responding directly to the presidentnificance today. >> powerful words from cory booker there. obviously down in charleston, the site of another racist inspired killing. i think he gets at how deeply felt this is for americans, particular for black and brown americans. the idea that you have a president who has targeted people who are black and brown over and over and over again as if to say those folks aren't part of the fabric of american history. i think you have a lot of americans who are going around afraid, afraid of what might happen next because of the rhetoric that comes from the highest office in the land, as cory booker said. and he's a critic. i'm sure the president will dismiss him, but listen, the president should certainly listen to americans who are afraid because of his rhetoric and what his rhetoric might inspire. >> and because of the facts, the data, what it shows. brian stelter mentioned before about how the president was muddying the waters by talking about all kinds of supremacies. let's look at th

. >> malika, we're waiting for the president to step up to the podium at an important summit with u.s. allies. what should we expect the president to say on these issues and do we listen to his answers and grant them a grain of truth? >> you know, maybe for the ten minutes as he's speaking and the ten minutes after. but the president has a way of reversing course. his aides have a way of reversing course as well. and kind of elaborating or undermining what he says. and that's what we've seen throughout the last few days in the run-up to this with going to the g7 and the idea that somehow he was going to order companies to think about ways of pulling out of china and then he said, oh, well, there's really no plan to do that ooep though he said he could do that. so i expect we'll probably get more of that. it has been interesting, though, to see him try to at times, particularly with emmanuel macron, suggest that they're kind of on the same page. he said out of their early lunch meeting that it was the best hour and a half that he ever had with emmanuel macron, which is saying a lot. be

moody analytic mark zandy and nia malika henderson. what are you hearing, april? is the economy causing the president's ee rot rattic behavior. >> yes, yes, and yes. this president has been touting a great economy and that is the cornerstone since i guess since the gipg of his administration for people to feel that he should win re-election, that he is firmly planted for the american public and working for them. but indicators, not traditional indicators are saying something different. he is having a hard time trying to marry the great economy with what it looks like for the american public, particularly the grass roots. and you know, i heard from member of congress when they come back september 9th they were dealing with the issue of the economy. something the president doesn't want to deal with especially as they highlight the fact that there is a deficit that is expected to be a trillion dollars by the end of the fiscal year. also the fact that they want to find ways to pay for things now pan reduce the tax credit. and other things and deal with trade. particul

she was a 14—year—old girl, and she has now been named by essex police, who say that her name was malikad and the service sector stalled. the figures were worse than economists had expected, and follow a strong start to the year, when businesses were stockpiling in anticipation of brexit. here's our economics correspondent, andy verity. this food packaging company in leicester grew rapidly until this year, and was looking to open a second site, stepping up its turnover from £25 million to £45 million. it piled up stock ahead of the march brexit deadline, diverting funds from its new site. then in the second quarter, orders dropped off, and it had to refinance to keep its expansion plans on track. political uncertainty isn't helping. it's all about the cloudy sky again. we went through this pre—march, and now between march and october, we have had a lot of unstable uncertainty, and the cloudy sky is upon us again. we can't move forward, we can't move back. we are static, we are stuck in a rut. that's where we are. most economists were expecting a weak performance in the second quarter of

malika died just hours after being rescued, haider died in hospital on saturday.e he definitely can swim. the pair's uncle says he first knew that something was wrong was when his wife asked him to go and look for the four teenagers who had gone missing from the group and has said that by the time he got there it as too late. a p pa re ntly apparently the lifeguards, by that time they got them out, it was too late because we had three children who had drowned. one of them was one of my cousins. thank god she survived and the other two, my niece and nephew, they are responding. in terms of the police and the ambulance and the air ambulance they we re ambulance and the air ambulance they were there in six to seven minutes. it seems close, but to get to some places, the strength of the water, it takes time to get to them. by the timei it takes time to get to them. by the time i got to them, there were a lot of people around them trying to help, doing everything they could do to get them back. but unfortunately they couldn't. in a moment we'll have the latest business
