Korea conducted this year this is the most concern to the u. S. If what the north says it true, it would mean a north korean weapon could potentially reach the mainland. Cnns ryan brown following the latest developments from the pentagon. So ryan, what more can you tell us about this meeting, and the options that are being weighed . Hi pam. Yes this meeting is being conducted for several reasons. One is to assess whether or not this actually was an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile. Pacific command which oversees u. S. Military forces in the region initially labeled it an intermediate range missile but north korea is making this claim its an icbm which is potentially capable of reaching the mainland United States. This is the first thing the pentagon want to do, assess, look at the data from the missile to determine whether or not north korea has this improved capability but again, if that is the case there is a series of options that could be under consideration, diplomatic sanctions option, attempting to get countries to sanction more forces strongly. Also military, boosting the u. S. Military presence in the region with more ships or troops, in an effort to kind of allay the concerns of the u. S. Allies, japan and south korea. All of these things potentially under consideration, given that the u. S. Is still trying to determine exactly what north korea fired yesterday. And as you point out, they havent reached a conclusion yet, basically looking at the intelligence, north korea has said it did launch this Intercontinental Ballistic Missile, but the big question is, when Something Like this happens, and the fact that this is of such big concern, how close could the North Koreans be toward actually landing a missile on the u. S. Mainland. This missile fired yesterday flew longer than any test north korea conducted about 37 minutes according to pacific command. The severe monitoring youre seeing this increased skill set being developed within the north Korean Missile regime, but again this is something that its very hard to make a determination whether or not theyll have that actual capability to reach the United States. Its something that the United States plans for, they conduct mice Missile Defense system tests in kind of planning for this threat, worst case scenario. Again, it will be very hard to determine whether or not north korea has reached that threshold. Ryan brown thank you for bringing us the latest. All this is happening as mr. Trump prepares for an enormous test at the g20 summit in jeremy. Cnn learning enrussian president Vladimir Putin will have a full fledged sitdown meeting the first time the two president s meet face to face. Michelle kozinski is following all of this from the state department. Lets talk about north korea first. The president leaning hard on china to resolve this. He has been. There have been a lot of meetings between the two sides over the past few months. Serious meetings where theyre trying to find this cooperation and Common Ground to try to counter north korea, but when we hear from the president , its often in these tweets that sometimes sure sounds like theyre counterproductive saying that this time perhaps china will do something, it was just a few weeks ago he was saying what china was doing wasnt working, so this isnt exactly helpful to the process but he does have a point there. C china has been slow to do the kind of action that the United States and others would like it to do to add more pressure on to north korea. It hasnt changed north koreas behavior obviously. So this is again something that theyre going to have to sit down and talk about at the g20 meeting. And of course, as all of this is going on, putin weighed in on the korean, north korean crisis with the chinese president today. If you look at the statements released it seems like the two leaders were trying to box the u. S. And President Trump out. Theyre talking about cooperation that they will do on this, and talking about tie l dialogue. It wasnt that long ago that they were talking about the military options still being on the table. Thats always going to be the case. For the u. S. To be talking about it so openly and saying if china doesnt do anything, the u. S. Is willing to go it alone, well, now you have this dynamic between russia and china. China not exactly pleased at the u. S. s rhetoric and its approach over the last few months so you have china and russia saying theyre going to work on this problem that does put the United States in a bit of an odd position to try to be the leader on this, and thats one of the many challenges that President Trump and his team are going to face moving forward on this, because it really hasnt had the solution. All right, michelle kozinski, thank you so much for bringing us the latest from the state department. Joining me to discuss this, bob baer, former cia operative, also with us cnn military and diplomatic analyst and former state Department Spokesman retired rear admiral john kirby. Bob, i want to start with you. Lets start with the surprise meeting by the Trump Administration. What are some of the options that are being weighed right now, as we heard, the u. S. Has said look, we will go this alone if need be. So how would that happen . What are they considering . Well, it would have to be a military action of some sort, or blockading north korea, which is sort of for me difficult to believe theyd go that far alone without chinese help. The North Koreans are capable of marching south. We have troops there. They would be in seoul, in no time at all. So theres been a lot of reasons weve not used true military, you know, power against north korea, and also because north korea is so unpredictable. The chinese have a very difficult time corraling them. Theyve tried, the North Koreans detest the chinese. This is a tlem ma for the administration. If this was an icbm, the North Koreans are making enormous progress and they will be able to hit the mainland in a couple of years. Whether they get a miniaturized nuke and put it on the end of an icbm is another question. I dont know the answer to that. John kirby, what do you make of trumps response on twitter asking if kim jongun has anything better to do with his life, especially considering the seriousness of this potential test. I think it shows a fundamental misunderstanding of what kims priorities and his goals are. Look, he has been racing towards developing this kind of a capability and potentially the chance to nuclearize an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile so that he has the ultimate barring anyone chip in any process of negotiation going forward. Number two, to preserve the safety and the security of his regime. When the president says he doesnt have anything to do, this is his life and exactly what hes trying to do to preserve the regimes survival and give him the ultimate bargaining chip at whatever negotiating table might be reached someday. Its clear kim jongun has been testing trump, bob. He has launched more tests than his father and grandfather. What is his qualify dns level in your view to pull off more of these dramatic tests . First of all the regime is looking forty own survival and looking at washington a weak president. Twitter is not going to deter kim jongun. Its just not. This president to them doesnt look serious. He looks vulnerable. They will continue to press and it looks to them that theyre going to get their way. The president has been blustering and threatening, and they have not backed down. I know the North Koreans. They are a tough bunch of people, and its going to take a lot more to get them to get rid of these icbms and stop developing nuclear weapons. John, we know russia and china, the leaders of the two countries met, and if you read their statements, they are clearly trying to box the u. S. Out when it comes to the response to north korea. That seems like a big development. I read the statement just before coming on. Its curious in so many ways not the least of which is that they seem to be trying to take this mature high road when it comes to Diplomatic Solutions to the north korea challenge, which is an odd for them to both say they want to do when a, china had enumb rabble opportunities to put influence on pyongyang in a destructive way and decided not to. Why . They dont want to see a reunified korea thats friendly to the west so theyre hedging a stable but potent north korea kind of keeps the west at bay, and russia are doing this because its opportunism. They see a chance, bob is right, to poke the United States here, a country they see is divided and sort of diminishing in its influence and theyre jumping on the band wagon. The other thing the statement does is gives parity to the dprk. They talk about the regards need to be considered. No, they dont. Not in this case. They shouldnt be considered at parody level as an equal. Thats what kim wants and why hes racing towards this capability and then the third thing is they talk about freezing u. S. And south korean exercises and of course the thaad deployment. Again, this would be a huge concession to the north. It would give kim exactly what he wants and would only further destabilize the peninsula. Look, we have a Treaty Alliance with south korea. We have actual security obligations we have to meet. Thaad is a defensive system, poses no threat, offensive threat to anybody and these exercises that we do with the south are critically important to keeping those skills and deterrence capabilities up. The g20 summit is this week, bob. President trump will have a formal meeting with russian president Vladimir Putin. What does he need to do amidst the concern here to sort of flex his diplomatic muscles . Well, he has to come to an agreement behind closed doors. We just did an arms deal with taiwan which has annoyed the chinese to no end. Our policy on russia is unclear. The senate vote in tightening up sanctions, all these questions are part of the horse trading thats going to go on here and the president has to realize theres long established interests with these countries and we simply cannot flaunt those standards and agreements and understandings and not have and have them ask them to help, with the chinese, they are absolutely crucial to getting this up because a lot of the parts for the icbms are coming from china itself, and in order to close that down, were going to have to give the chinese something. Im not sure what that is, but an arms deal with taiwan is not going to help. All right, bob baer, rear admiral john kirby thank you. Coming up, dozens of states expressing concern over President Trumps Voter Fraud Commission, and its request for personal information on millions of voters. This as democrats get behind a bill that would lay the groundwork to remove the president if hes deemed mentally unfit to serve. Plus the budget is signed, the beaches are open.

A majority of states wont be sending your voter information to a White House Panel on voter fraud. Secretaries of states who are democrats and republicans for more than 40 states and the District Of Columbia are expressing concerns and pushing back on the request from the Advisory Commission on Election Integrity with some states flat out refusing overright to provide any information. Among other things the Commission Asks for names, addresses, party affiliation, felony convictions and whether the voters lived overseas. Many states say it legally cannot provide all of this information. Others express concern about how the information might be used. Joining me now more is cnn White House Reporter jeremy diamond. As i look through the list and read the cnn article about this, what struck me even some red states are pushing back against this request. Reporter thats right. Weve seen some fiery pushback from some of the secretaries of state from some of these republican states, including from particularly fiery response from the secretary of state of mississippi my reply would be they can go jump in the gulf of mexico and mississippi is a great state to launch from. Criticism from democrats, governor mcauliffe i have no intention of honoring this request. This entire commission is based on specious and false notion there was widespread voter fraud last november. The white house is pushing back on a lot of this criticism from republicans and democrats. The president on saturday took to his favorite medium of course, to twitter, to say numerous states are refusing to give information to the very distinguished voter fraud panel. What are they trying to hide . I just spoke a little bit ago with the Vice President s spokesman mark lauder, chairing this commission. He points out what the commission is asking for, not asking for any private information. The letters that were sent to these states are largely the same and they list a number of pieces that this commission would like to get from some of these states. Thats where there seems to be a little bit of a disconnect between this Voter Fraud Commission and some of the states that are pushing back. Weve had some of the states pushing back and saying were not going to provide any private information. Were only going to provide publicly available information, and that in effect would be it appears complying with this request, but nonetheless, as you point out there has been a lot of criticism of this in part driving from the intentions of this commission, number of states pointing out that voter fraught is not as widespread as the president and some of the members of this committee have tried to portray. You remember of course the president soon after coming into office said he believes several Million People had voted illegally in the 2016 election. Right, and in the confusion you sum this up, jeremy, but some states are eagerly complying with this it seems and other states say its illegal to hand over this information. So how does that square . Yes, thats right. There seems to be two things happening here. One of them is concern from some of these states over states rights and not having the federal government involved in elections, which is supposed to be something ruled by the states, and then another part of this is the politics of it. Some of these states particularly the democratic states taking an opportunity to point out that this commission was set up on a flawed premise, the premise that the president believes millions of people voted illegally in the 2016 election, something for which of course there is no evidence at all and the white house has not put forth any evidence to that effect. Jeremy diamond, thank you so much. Joining me now to discuss cnn senior political commentator, former senator Rick Santorum and basil michael, executive director of the new york state Democratic Party. Great to see you both. Good morning. This effort seems over before it began. Does this hurt the president s credibility on these claims of voter fraud . No. I mean look the letter was very clear. Theyre asking for whatever information that can be provided publicly to the commission, so they can begin the process of looking through this data and determining the extent of voter fraud. The bottom line is the system, if you dont have a voter i. D. Law in your state, the law is pretty much an honor system. Were just trusting people that they are who they say they are and that theyre going to vote properly or not vote more than once or not vote for other people. Thats not a way to conduct an election, and what the president is saying is when you have a system that is basically an honor system, theres a penchant, a potential for fraud and we want to examine it to the extent we can whether fraud was committed. What about senator chris cobach overseeing this, his own state of kansas pushing back, the guy who was in charge of this. I dont understand what the pushback is. The letter says as your reporter just reported, please give us all the information you can thats permissible thats public. Theyre not asking for any private information. If this information is available in a public forum in your state please provide it to us. If its not then dont we. I dont see the rub. Basil, you run the Democratic Party in new york. Right. Whats the problem here if as the senator says theyre asking for publicly available information . Whats not legal about that . Part of the problem is this question of intent, because its not that the president has just said at this very moment that there may be issues of fraud. He is actually made that claim throughout his entire campaign, and against evidence to the contrary. And so there is a concern and our governor has said that we will not comply with this, because it does seem intrusive and the fact is that there were reports of voter intimidation last year. So if the president and the white house cant come up with a better reason for why they need this information, i think its incumbent upon secretaries of state governors, Political Parties and again, this is bipartisan. This is not just a democratic issue, that the administration has to come up with a better reason for why they need this information, and we have to tell our voters in our state why were handing over this information to the federal government. If youre a democrat because there are concerns about vulnerable populations, yes, i think this voter intimidation does carry a tremendous amount of weight, but if youre in a red state, youre going to be concerned about states rights and the federal governments intervention here. So i think theres a lot that the Trump Administration has yet to discuss with the public about why this is actually necessary. Because so far, senator, the president has only tweeted without any proof to back it up this claim that millions of people voted illegally. So what is your response to basil that the white house needs to put forward evidence to back these claims of widespread voter fraud before states hand over the information . I would say this. Its been very, very difficult as weve seen to prove voter fraud because well, lets just use an example, say for example in the city of philadelphia, which was my home state. We do know that on election day theres money put out on the street on election day to enencourage people to vote. Say someone went and they got a list of people who were lets say deceased or people that had mood and organize something to have some folks claim they were that person and vote. How would you catch them . Unless you were actually there and you caught them in the act, how would you catch them . You wouldnt know who came in. The people at the poll wouldnt know. Its impossible to catch voter fraud unless you catch it at the moment its occurring. And thats not happening. There was a study done by, in new york by the new york bureau of investigation, they went in and had 63 people go out and actually try to vote in an election, and 61 of the 63 fraudulently voting for dead people, people who moved, and 61 of the 63 people were able to vote. One of them was caught only because the person who showed up was the son and tried to vote was trying to vote for the son of the person that was checking them in, otherwise everyone was able to vote. Thats the problem with an honor system. You cant, its almost impossible to prove fraud but its very easy to commit. Its impossible to prove it in part because it doesnt exist in this notion that Political Parties are throwing money there have been in some cases, not widespread. Very, very few and significantly not significant actually in statistically not significant in a lot of these studies, so having said that, look, i think when you are looking at, as the senators talked about individual states and their voting laws, even the Supreme Court has stepped in and said you know what . Particularly states like north carolina, your laws are too restrictive. The movement isnt toward more restricti restrictions, its toward fewer restrictions to allow more participation. This idea the parties are engaged in throwing money on the street and getting voter rolls of dead voters just doesnt exist. While i have both of you gentlemen here with me, basil, about two dozen democrats are backing this bill aimed at evaluating president S Mental Health and ousting him if hes unfit to serve. Constitutional scholars have come out and said that this is completely unrealistic, it is premature at this point. What is the point of this . I saw that story. Im not sure what the point of it is. Ill just tell you this quickly, i was at a rally in queens, new york, on saturday, about 400 people came out on a morning on a holiday weekend, deputy chair eth ellison was there and spoke, i spoke. Those are the folks that care about policy and what the Democratic Party will do about being an economic and social justice organization. Thats what i think most voters care about and what the party needs to focus on. If these individuals want to take up this as an issue, there perhaps is a philosophical or legal sort of scholarly investigation into whether or not this is useful, but the truth of the matter is the voters arent looking at that right now and i want us to be more focused on that. Right, so senator, are the democrats playing right into President Trumps hands in your view . I think this is overplaying their hand and dangerous. Dangerous talk, period, and as basil pointed out look, the problem here is the Democratic Party in their fixation on beating up on donald trump is ignoring the problems of ordinary americans. The headlines in the paper today are how increasing number of states that dont have insurance carriers to offer insurance in the individual market anymore. This is the problem thats confronting america. We should be focused on trying to get a Health Care Bill passed that actually can repeal and replace obamacare with something that will work for more americans. Thats what donald trump and the republicans are going to focus on here in the next few weeks and i really believe particularly if they listen to our nations governors that they can get this done. All right, senator Rick Santorum, basil michael thank you both. Coming up, a hospital offering to take in a terminally ill child at the center of a legal dispute.

A child nas gathered global attention and captured the hearts of pope francis and President Trump. The popes Pediatric Hospital offered to take in an 11monthold charlie guard in an effort to shut a London Hospital from shutting off his life support. Court of human rights ruled it would not intervene of the decision of the hospital to end life support for the baby who has a rare genetic disease. President trump also weighed in, tweeting if we can help Little Charlie guaard per our friends e uk and the pope wed be delighted to do so. Diana, the president of the hospital released a statement. What did she say . Reporter she did. She says we know that this say desperate case and apparently there is no effective therapy. We are close to his parents with our prayers and if they wish so we are ready to welcome their child in the struck tufr for the time he has left to live. Charl Charl Charlie gards case through the high court, court of appeal and Supreme Court, his parents pushing for treatment in the u. S. , an experimental form of treatment and the courts and European Court of human rights have all ruled it is in charlies best interests not to have that experimental treatment, because it wont necessarily improve his quality of life, and that he should be allowed to die with dignity. So really these last ditch efforts coming from for example the vatican hospital, President Trump, also offering to do what he could. You do wonder whether they really amount to anything, given the fact that at the very highest levels, there is now no legal recourse. You can be sure, pam, however harsh is t sounds the hospital treats very ill patients all the time. They will put in place a proper end of life plan that the parents can bear to make the withdrawal of treatment in charlies case as humane as it possibly can be, where it is in charlies interests, first and foremost that the process goes, but also bringing the family along, too. Really your heart goes tout to that family. Diana magnate, thank you. The Trump Administration holding an emergency meeting on options for north korea after kim jongun launches a new missile.

President Trumps NationalSecurity Team is holding an emergency meeting today to discuss north korea. Cnn has learned Security Military and diplomatic officials will discuss what options are available if its confirmed that north korea did in fact conduct an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile test. If that is confirmed an official tells cnn the goal would be for President Trump to approve a measured response. Joining me is charles cupchin, former senior director for Senior Affairs for the White House Council under president clinton and also with the council of foreign relations. The first question is, this is yet another test, the 11th test from north korea since President Trump took office. How significant is this . Its particularly significant if as north korea has suggested this say missile with a new change, an icbm which could lit alaska, if not the continental United States. We dont know if thats the case. One of the reasons the nsc is meeting today so to look at the data and figure out whether this say new range. If so, what steps should we take . Its not an emergency in the sense that north korea doesnt have the ability even if they have the range to put a Nuclear War Head on the missile or reentry vehicle that wont burn up but this would be crossing a new threshold and perhaps the Administration May want to take new steps such as increasing force levels, sending a shot across the bow to pyongyang that its not going to accept this new step forward. In that sense clearly north korea is not going to stop its efforts to creating that Nuclear Warhead and this emergency meeting today happening on this holiday considering options to respond to this potential test that the u. S. Is trying to confirm. Take us inside that meeting, what would the options be that the u. S. Is weighing right now . Well, i think in the short term, they would really be about a symbolic increase in force levels, to do something to send a signal to north korea that the United States is responding forcefully, and the meeting itself to some extent sends that signal because the North Koreans know this is july 4th. Everything else being equal, the people in the situation room would rather be with their families. Theres one other conversation i think is taking place in the sit. Syst room what should presi trump say at the g20 to mr. Putin, to xi inpipg, what steps can the great powers collectively take to tighten the noose around north korea . No question they are discussing the talking points, the steps that trump can take, when he sees these foreign leaders at the end of the week. That leads me to my next question because the leaders of china and russia met and if you look at their statement that they released today in response to north koreas potential test, they basically are boxing out the u. S. And President Trump, basically theyre saying they want to do this together. What do you make of that . This triangle . Russia and china have always used Third Party Issues like north korea to try to form a united front against the United States, putin in particular is interested in pushing back against the u. S. , despite trumps initial desire to forge a better relationship with him. I dont think that theres a whole lot of there there. China and russia are not coming together to form a flu alliance against the United States but i think they have leverage over north korea and thats why its so important for trump to impress upon both of those powers that they need to step up to the plate and tighten the pressure on pyongyang, otherwise as trump said to xi jinping yesterday on the phone the u. S. May be pressed to act unilate l unilaterally. Charles kupchan thank you for breaking it down for us.

I want to bring in cnns diane gallagher, she joins me from the mall. Diane . Reporter hey pam. Right now not too many people out on the mall. Couple taking pictures of the monument but most lining the streets of washington for the parade, which gabegan a couple minutes ago. Security is rather tight this year specifically. Ten different checkpoints around the mall for the different events out in this area. Capital police and park Police Taking into consideration some of those soft target vehicle attacks that have been occurring across the globe over the past year. They wouldnt go into detail on the differences but weve noticed some changes specifically additional fencing thats been put around in this area. Anyone who wants to see the capitol fourth concert starting around 8 00 or the fireworks, which roughly half a Million People show up to see, have to go through one of ten security checkpoints. They cant bring in coolers. Theyre going to search every single bag. They want everyone to have a good time. This is a major destination for fourth of july festivities for people across the world, but they want to make sure that there is an element of height heightened safety. Because of those checkpoints, people have to expect long lines to enclose the security checkpoints right before the fireworks to make sure people can get in. I can tell you even though there arent too many people out on the mall right now, plenty of officers Walking Around and checking the situation out. It will be full later today. Thats for sure. Diane gallagher thank you so much. Public beaches in new jersey are back open today, just in time for the holiday. Governor Chris Christie ordering all state beaches and parks to reopen this morning, after an 11th hour budget deal was reached ending a government shutdown. Governor christies reputation is sure getting tarnished after pictures showed him and his family relaxing an a beach he ordered closed to the public. The governor is defending his actions and slamming the medias reaction. Sitting there with a baseball hat and shorts and a tshirt, talking to my wife. If they had flown the plane over that beach and i was sitting next to a 25yearold blond in that beach chair next to me thats a story. Joining me kaitlin hughey burns from real clear politics. Nice to have you on. Hi, happy fourth. Thank you, same to you. What has happened to Chris Christies career . I mean, there was a time republicans were begging him to run for president , just a few years ago. And now this, his Approval Ratings at an alltime low. Whats going on here . Its been remarkable actually to watch Chris Christies kind of fall from political grace, just over the past two years, as you mentioned, he was a president ial candidate and was known for his kind of huff talking style. He was kind of the donald trump in terms of rhetoric before donald trump, and i remember covering him at various stops throughout the campaign, particularly in new hampshire, and he was lauded for that telling it like it is style. He is now facing a 15 Approval Rating in the state of new jersey which is also pretty stunning considering that he was once a model for republicans for winning blue states like new jersey and by the margins that he did, and were talking about Chris Christie on the beach, remember just a few years ago he was known for really taking the lead as it pertained to hurricane sandy. He was under criticism for embracing then president obama on those beaches, but that was reflective of his style then which was to get things done. Now it looks like he just isnt really caring much about what the public thinks about this controversy. And as you pointed out hes sort of been considered the trump before trump. So why did the brash and blunt style work for trump but not for christie now . Right, thats a great question and i think several candidates in the Republican Party were asking themselves the same question. You know, christie really resonated with people on a personal and on an emotional level talking about, you know, the opiate crisis for example and other things. But then he went and endorsed donald trump, after he left, after Chris Christie left the race. That was seen by many republicans at the time as kind of a turn against the party. Chris christie was steeped in the Republican Party, and then embraced this kind of outsider who was in many ways running against the very establishment that he had, Chris Christie, had kind of represented in some ways. So certainly a fall from grace, and now its interesting to see that the person, the woman that wants to replace Chris Christie after this term is also being very critical of him and shes a republican. While i have you here, kaitlyn, i want to turn to the putin trump meeting. Both sides will spin this, of course, but what are you looking for after this formal sitdown between the two leaders . The news certainly today is that this will be a oneonone meeting more programmed than we anticipated. Not just a side conversation. Of course, a lot of people in the u. S. Will be looking to see whether he does bring up election meddling. The russians meddling in the election. That is top of mind here as far as the investigations in the u. S. Are concerned, but the white house is talking about really talking tough on syria. Well see if that happens. And, also, news today involving north korea and china and russia. And well see what comes of that. I think people here are looking to see what kind of posture donald trump takes to the takes to Vladimir Putin in their first oneonone meetings if there are successful talks on those two issues, perhaps that might overshadow concerns about election meddling but there is concerns here that the president has not acknowledged to the extent republicans have the extent of russian meddles in the election and the president has been criticized here at home in a bipartisan way for not taking this as seriously, because we know according to testimony and hearings and such that they are continuing to do it in other countries and they are perhaps people are anticipating theyll do it again in 2018 and 2020. Yep. That is the expectation. Thank you. Thank you, pam. Well, an eerie photo taken during a vigil for a missing college student.

Well, iraqi forces are locked in an intense battle with isis fighting to reclaim the final blocks of mosul. Paton wae front lines, facing immense danger at every turn. Reporter from here to the river is all isis has left of mosul, and this is the story of how it fell. On the streets, around the mosque, they once held sacred and then destroyed. [ explosion ] brazilian photographer gabriel chain is on foot with Iraqi Special forces. Every foot fall to hit a boobytrap. An eerie silence, holes in just about everything. Endless soot. [ gunfire ] street empty and each human they meet is either desperate to escape or the enemy. In the alleyways, two men approach them. [ explosion ] one is carrying a bomb. They rush in to help the wounded. [ speaking in Foreign Language ] [ explosion ] ah reporter the second man carrying a much larger device. Gabriel struggles to breathe. The dust also means they cant see if there are any other bombers, or whether the three dead and dozen colleagues lie dead. The advance continues up to and around the mosque. And civilians, human shields for weeks, stoop on the gunfire, or are even oblivious to it. Some never leave the underground. Loud, constant blasts in the darkness. [ speaking in Foreign Language ] unable to walk, the first man feigns ignorance but soon admits isis is on the roof and has mined the entire street. The interrogator tells his team the man is himself isis. For the past week the desperate rush for life continued. The u. N. Estimated 150,000 people were trapped here, but in the end, nobody had any idea. Or how many lie left behind them in the rubble. Water, water im dying she screams. Her lips white. In crippling heat and panic, pray, you never know firsts like this. Or what it is like to carry offfamily out lifeless on a cart. This is his mother. [ speaking in Foreign Language ] for gods sake, help me carry him, she cries. They try running to the closest point in the narrow street a vehicle can reach. Stop the blood loss, they plead. Its unclear if the boy survived. Even when this tract of dust is cleared of isis, the killing in iraqs fractured society wont stop. And her private hell of memories wont suddenly be washed away. Nick paton walsh, cnn, mosul. Hmm. Thank you to Nick Paton Walsh for telling that important story. So will isis come up during the president s meeting this week with president putin .
