Hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the United States and of course all around the world. Im Rosemary Church and this is cnn newsroom. Well, we are still seven months away from the first in the nation iowa caucuses, but we may be seeing a major shift in the field of democrats hoping to win back the white house. A new cnn poll shows joe biden still in the lead with 22 , but thats down ten points since may. Senator Kamala Harris, who may say who many say was the clear winner in last weeks debates is now in second place at 17 . Elizabeth warren also gaining ground at 15 . Bernie sanders falls to 14 . Well, as harris and warren rise in the polls, peter buttigieg, the mayor of south bend, indiana, has brought in quite a haul of donations. Cnns Phil Mattingly reports. Reporter south bend, indiana mayor Pete Buttigieg today laid down a major marker. The 24. 8 million variety cementing himself in the top tier of the crowded democratic president ial primary field when it comes to campaign cash. The headsnapping Second Quarter haul more than triple what he raised a quarter prior from nearly 300,000 individual donors with nearly 23 million in cash on hand. Obviously were very pleased with how the debate went. I think it was a chance to explain what were about and why im running to some people who have never tuned in before. Reporter buttigiegs first out of the gate number now becomes the barometer for other top tier candidates. Today joe bidens campaign sent an email to supporters saying they blew our fundraising goal out of the water. Bidens team did not release a specific dollar amount yet. Senator Kamala Harris spotlighting her debate performance. There was a little girl in california who was part of the second class to integrate her public schools. And she was bussed to school every day. And that little girl was me. Reporter harris keying on this explosive moment to raise more than 2 million in just the 24 hours after the exchange, according to her campaign. Harris also adding two new endorsements to her portfolio, representatives bobby rush and frederica wilson, two members of the crucial congressional black caucus, announced their support monday all as harris received unified support from her democratic challengers on the issue of race. Specifically this tweet from donald trump jr. , the president s son, that seized on a lie perpetrated on social media that harris jamaican and indian descent meant she was not black. Trump junior deleted the tweet but not before candidates like senator Bernie Sanders levelled this harsh charge. Donald trump jr. Is a racist, too. Shocker. And a spokeswoman for the Harris Campaign equated donald trump jr. s tweet to his fathers birtherism attacks against president barack obama. Saying it didnt work then and wont work now. As for don jr. , a spokesperson said he was genuinely asking the question whether or not Kamala Harris was of half indian descent. He didnt know the answer to that. Once he realized, the spokesman said, his intent was misconstrued, he immediately deleted the tweet. Phil mattingly, cnn, washington. So lets take a closer look at all of this with political analyst michael jen veez. He is the president of the Global Policy institute at loyo Loyola Marymount university. Thanks for joining us. My pleasure. So lets start by taking a closer look at that new cnn poll taken after last weeks two democratic debates, showing joe bidens support plummeting ten Percentage Points since may to 22 . Kamala harris and Elizabeth Warren both doubled their support, shooting up to 17 and 15 respectively. And Bernie Sanders dipped four points to 14 . Of course its early days yet, but what do you make of those numbers . Well, Political Science Research Tells Us a few things that are very clear. One, in a primary election, debates matter a great deal because in the general its two warring tribes and there is very little migration from one party to the other, but within the primary system, its a family fight. In a family fight, you know, sometimes its uncle joe you who agree with. Sometimes its aunt elizabeth. Thats what were seeing here. Theres a lot more fluidity and change within the primary votes in the debates. And we saw after these two debates. We saw a lot of changes. We saw some people rise, some people fall and some people just didnt make any dent at all. Yeah, thats true. A very different picture emerges when we look at poll numbers for who has the best chance of beating President Trump among democratic voters. Joe biden, hes way out in front there. Look, 43 . Sanders at 13 and both harris and warren on 12 . How do you make sense of those numbers . Well, biden started out as the frontrunner, and as the frontrunner all the guns were pointed at him. So he got shot at a lot. He got wounded a few times and he stumbled. However, the thing to remember in his favor is that hes still, as the numbers suggest, the person the democrats think is best suited to take on donald trump. Thats going to go a long way as we get further into the process because right now its just its a little bit of a beauty contest. Its a little bit about policy and its a little bit about personality. As you get further along, it becomes about policy and who cnb beat donald trump. And there as long as joe biden can hang on, he might be the guy that can hang on to the end. Right. Thats what its all about for the democrats, who can beat President Trump in the end, right . And of course the other poll numbers of interest show that the africanamerican vote is Still Critical to bidens support. Despite the back and forth between biden and harris last week during their debate. Biden still has the most support from africanamerican voters. You see there, 36 compared to harris 24 . And Pete Buttigieg has zero support. What do those numbers indicate . Well, its no surprise with buttigieg because hes had a lot of trouble in south bend relating to the Africanamerican Community and some violence by members of the police force. In terms of biden, its not a surprise that he has widespread support from africanamericans because hes been at this game for a long, long time. He has been a strong supporter of the Africanamerican Community. And that is why it was a surprise to many when senator Kamala Harris did such damage to him on the question of race. He did not respond well. He has a case to make for himself and he didnt make it very well. Harris, a career prosecutor, made the case against him, and biden stumbled. So biden is relying on the third primary in South Carolina because thats going to be where his support with africanamericans could take him over the top. Yeah, of course it was harris performance at that debate, too, which really gave her all of that boost for support for her. And of course despite having low poll numbers, Pete Buttigieg is making huge gains when it comes to campaign fundraising. How do you explain that discrepancy . In the First Quarter he was able to get about 7. 1 million. In the Second Quarter, 24. 8 million. Plus he expanded his donor base by over 294,000 large and small donors. How do you explain it . He has a message. He has a story to tell. And while the numbers havent changed much in the last three or four months, people are some people who are in, especially the gay community, like his message, like him and are starting to come out as donors. Plus hes broadened his appeal to a wider range of democrats. Which he had to do. The problem is, of course, as we mentioned before, africanamericans are really cold to him right now, and so that would be a stumbling block if he lasts through the middle of the primary season. Right. And lets not forget Elizabeth Warren because shes the one thats coming up with all the policy ideas. And she did very well in these polls. This latest poll, at least. But is it about the numbers or about the rise and fall of these candidates . Well, youre going to see more fluctuation and thats the nature of the beast. But i think warren did very well because she and Bernie Sanders are going after the same voters. And i thought bernie didnt help himself very much because he seemed like he was just reading from old campaign brochures, whereas Elizabeth Warren is so up to date on the issues. Knows what the policies are and is able to articulate them very, very carefully and very clearly. And so she really helped herself because she sounds like someone who is one of those i can get the job done kind of people. I know whats going on. I know,000 deal with this. Whereas sanders was doing platitudes mostly. So if the both of them are after one chunk of the democratic vote, the left wing, if warren can continue this way, she can knock bernie out and then she becomes one of the top two or three candidates, and can last until the very end. Interesting. Well watch to see how this race continues. Michael, always great to chat with you. Thank you so much. Thank you. Well, the president of Hong Kongs Legislative Council calls its home a big crime scene. This after violent protesters spent hours forcing their way in to the building monday. Then when they did they ransacked the main chamber. Now shattered glass, police tape and graffiti tell the story of the violent uprising. Hong kongs chief executive condemned the violence. Nothing is more important than the rule of law in hong kong. So i hope the community at large will agree with us that with these violent acts that we have seen, it is right for us to condemn it and hope society will return to normal as soon as possible. Cnns hala gorani takes a look at how the events unfolded. Reporter the moment of confrontation. Hong kong police lobbed tear gas into the umbrellawielding crowd. The last stand from protesters who spent the day storming the Legislative Council. Riot police herding crowds through the streets finally moving in to quash the demonstration after hours where the protesters seemed in control earlier these astonishing scenes inside the hong kong legislative chamber. Protesters seizing the very room where lawmakers usually sit. Their message [ speaking Foreign Language ] reporter rereelease the righteous. Hold police responsible. Take back universal suffrage. They left a path of destruction, sprayed slogans on the walls and defaced the citys code of arms. This was the moment when they smashed through the glass of the council building. After hours of using trollies, barricades and metal poles shielded by umbrellas, the symbol of resistance to chinese domination. Cnn was on the scene. Just over my shoulder here you can probably hear what sounds like a battering ram. It is a battering ram of sorts. It is one of those barricades youve just saw being used to try to batter into this government building. Reporter once through the first layer of the building, protesters tore down metal fencing. With the buildings security fully breached, the floodgates were opened. The protesters looked wellprepared with gloves, masks and helmets. But one told cnn we dont have a plan. We just want to say something. July 1st is often a day for protest in hong kong. Marking the anniversary of its handover to china in 1997. While official celebrations were held complete with the Chinese National anthem, protesters raised their own black flag of rebellion outside the government building. The embattled hong kong chief executive responded during the ceremony, promising to change her style of governance. [ speaking Foreign Language ] translator i will learn the lesson and ensure that the governments future work will be closer and more responsive to the aspirations, sentiments and opinions of the community. Reporter but so far that has n not quelled calls for her resignation. While the Breakaway Group was violently smashing into the government headquarters, a much larger and peaceful march unfolded throughout the city. These latest demonstrations come after weeks of unrest triggered by a proposed new bill that would allow extradition to china. Although the government has suspended the bill for now, many in hong kong say they will continue to protest until the creep of chinese influence into their lives is halted. Cnns haurg hala gorani reporti reporting there. For more live on the scene lets go to anna coren. No protesters on the streets today, but what are their plans Going Forward given that hong kongs chief executive is now saying the extradition bill that triggered these protests is effectively dead . Reporter for sure. It is dead. They want to hear her say withdraw. Thats what these protesters want. And they feel, rosemary, that they that she, carrie lam, the citys chief executive, has not been listening despite the 1 Million People who took to the streets on the 9th of june, the 2 Million People who took to the streets a week later. They still felt she wasnt listening to their demands. Giving these people the guarantee that they are looking for. They say this why they have taken the extreme action that they have, and that is, you know, effectively trashing the Legislative Council building here in hong kong. I mean, what we witnessed yesterday afternoon into the evening was absolutely extraordinary. To think that this could happen in hong kong, a major, you know, Financial International hub, whilst the police stood by and allowed the protesters to behave this way, to run amok, it really leads many to ask questions as to why they did this. But the protesters say they were desperate. They feel despair as to the future of hong kong. That this is what they are fighting for and that by coming here, storming legco, creating the damage, the chaos that they did, that this is to get the attention of the government. This is their last resort. Obviously, carrie lam she came out, she condemned the violence. As has beijing. We heard from the Central Government earlier saying they strongly condemned these extremist acts. They also said that this is an undisguised challenge to the one country two systems policy. And here, you know, rosemary, i was speaking to Fernando Chung a little earlier, a prodemocracy legislator, and he said there is just a real sense of despair. People are clearly divided. There is the peaceful element to the protests, and we should remember that 550,000 people turned out to march peacefully yesterday. Thats according to the organizers of that march. But there is a core element, a small element of protesters who feel they need to act with force to get their message across. And he said that small group, that it is growing. There is a Clear Division within these protesters as to how to move forward, but he was telling me, rosemary, that the feeling is they need to retreat for awhile. Everyone is feeling rather solemn about yesterdays actions, that obviously nobody condones the violence that tock place but that these young protesters are deeply troubled, deeply concerned about the future of hong kong. And that is why they are fighting. All right. Our anna coren bringing us the very latest there out the front of that legislative building that was stormed 24 hours ago. Many thanks to you.

Customs and Border Protection officials can now add a Public Relations bombshell to the humanitarian crisis theyre dealing with at the southern border. The investigative reporting group, propublica, discovered a secret Facebook Group where it says agents posted sexist memes and joke about migrant deaths. That came as u. S. Lawmakers toured detention facilities in texas. Nick valencia has the details. Reporter members of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus toured three Border Patrol facilities along the southern border today, but it was at this station here in clint, texas where on a recent trip independent monitors called conditions unconscionable. The congressional delegation spent about an hour. When they emerged, some of the members were clearly emotional. It was chairman Joaquin Castro who said migrants are being held in dehumanizing conditions. Another member went on to say the country is in a very dark place. It was representative Ayanna Presley who perhaps gave the most impassioned speech. This is bigger than a funding debate or any speeches we give on the floor of the house of representatives, this is about the preservation of our humanity, and this is about seeing every Single Person there as a member of your own family. Reporter the visit comes on the same day that an Investigative Team with propublica reported on a closed Facebook Group said to comprised of nearly 9500 current and former Border Patrol agents.

Well, iran insists it has not violated the 2015 Nuclear Agreement even though its stockpiles of enricher lowgrade uranium now exceed the limits set by the deal. Irans foreign minister argues his nation has a right to go over the 300 kilogram limit since washington withdrew from the pact last year. He also warns that iran could cross another threshold. Translator our next step will be enriching uranium beyond the 6. 7 under the deal. Europeans have failed to protect irans interests under the deal. Translator well, the iran Nuclear Agreement may be in jeopardy, but the u. S. Is reportedly considering another nuclear deal, this time with north korea. The New York Times reports under that agreement the u. S. Would accept the hermit kingdom as a Nuclear Power if the country freeze its weapon program. Cnns Kaitlan Collins has more. Reporter President Trump back in washington today after taking historic first steps into north korea. His impromptu sitdown with kim jongun has reignited talks with the hermit kingdom but now there are questions about what those talks will look like. We just had a very, very good meeting with chairman kim. Reporter the New York Times reports the u. S. May settle for a Nuclear Freeze, instead of denuclearization, a concept the times says would mean accepting the north as a Nuclear Power. Its a far cry from the president s demands that kim surrender his arsenal. This is complete complete denuclearization of north korea, and it will be verified. Reporter Trumps National security adviser john bolton said neither the National Security Council Staff nor i have discussed or heard of any desire to settle for a Nuclear Freeze. This was a reprehensible attempt by someone to box in the president. But it could be an attempt to box out bolton, who was noticeably absent from the president s trip to the dmz because a u. S. Official said he was on a flight to mongolia. Bolton may have been missing in action but the president s daughter and Senior Adviser wasnt. Ivanka trump is facing new criticism over the outsized Foreign Policy role she played in asia. She summarized trumps meetings with world leaders, a job typically reserved for National Security staff. The Prime Minister, modi, and Prime Minister abe just concluded a meeting with the president. Reporter ivanka trump even crossed into north korea from behind closed doors. While trumps chief of staff waited outside. An experience she called surreal. Back in washington, the president is facing scrutiny of his own after warmly embracing multiple authoritarian leaders while in asia. We met and we liked each other from day one. And that was very important. Reporter he lavished praise on the Saudi Crown Prince who the cia recently concluded authorized the brutal murder of journalist jamal khashoggi. Theyve been a terrific ally. Reporter and he touted his relationship with vladimir putin. After joking about russian interference in the 2016 election. I get along with president putin. I get along with mohammad from saudi arabia. Well, joining me now is david rohde. He is a cnn Global Affairs analyst and the executive editor of the new yorker website. Always great to have you on the show. Thank you. So lets start with the your impression of what was achieved by President Trump at his historic meeting at the Demilitarized Zone with north koreas kim jongun. Nothing more than a photo opportunity or was it a meeting that could possibly result in some level of denuclearization, do you think . I think it maintains the status quo. North koreas not, you know, engaging in Intercontinental Ballistic Missile tests. It hasnt had another nuclear test. So, you know, thats thats a positive thing. But i dont see what the United States and the kind of International Community got out of the meeting. Theres really still no progress on this core issue of north korea denuclearizing. And what did you make of the New York Times report that suggested President Trump may go for a Nuclear Freeze as a next step with north korea rather than complete denuclearization, as he has called for in the past. His National Security adviser dismisses notion, but, of course, he was in mongolia. I think its if that does happen, if there is an agreement where that freezes the north Korean Nuclear program in place, thats a tremendous victory for kim jongun. Thats a recognition that north korea has Nuclear Weapons, that north korea will keep Nuclear Weapons and its a step backwards from, you know, the last several american administrations. Look, President Trump is taking many risks here. He should be credited for that. But hes not yet, you know, outperformed any former american president in terms of north korea. He promised to outdo them. He promised to, you know, force north korea to give up its Nuclear Weapons. Thats not happening, and i think there is a chance they will agree to this, that they will essentially there will be a freeze and, again, that will essentially be a huge victory for north korea. Why do you think they would be looking at that as a possible option . I think its, you know, its there is an election coming up in the United States and, you know, the president wants credit for a Foreign Policy success. He doesnt really have one. You know, this middle east peace plan hes mentioned hasnt gone anywhere. Tensions are rising with iran. As you saw at the g20 summit, he continues to sort of attack, you know, longstanding american allies, so, you know, this will give him a chance to claim success, but, again, this is a step backwards from where the last several american president s have been. Right. And you mentioned iran. Where does all of this leave efforts to negotiate with iran now that we learn tehrans uranium stockpiles have exceeded the limit allowed under the 2015 nuclear deal, the accord trump abandoned last year. Yeah, its the latest, you know, very provocative move by iran, by hardliners there. I think its a negative step. I mean, theyre now in violation of the 2015 agreement. Yes, you know, President Trump pulled out of that agreement, but theres an effort to sort of provoke trump, it seems, from, you know, mining the tankers in the gulf to shooting down the american drone to now begin enriching again. I think this is an effort by the iranians to pressure europe to aid them more, to help them deal with the new american sanctions, but broadly speaking, again, you know, whether its, you know, great photoops on the dmz and between north and south korea or, you know, tough talk against iran, a lot of saber rattling, none of these strategies and, look, i hope President Trump succeeds, but none of these diplomatic strategies have produced any kind of diplomatic breakthrough anywhere. All right. Its worth mentioning, you know, we all watched the u. S. President meet kim jongun at the dmz and other dictators at the g20, vladimir putin, the Saudi Crown Prince, china and turkeys president s. What are the optics of those sorts of meetings with a u. S. President . Look, i think theyre a sign and im biased as a journalist, but there a sign you can repress the free press. If youre mbs you can, you know, kill a Washington Post columnist. If youre president erdogan of turkey, you can jail dozens of journalists. Weve seen this over and over again where the president , you know, seems more comfortable with autocrats and, you know, jokes ago interference in the u. S. Election and jokes about the press with russian president vladimir putin. So its a reversal in the traditional american role. Its very troubling. I mean, again, as i journalia j its really disturbing. These are values i think he should be defending, not values he should be mocking. David rohde, always good to have you on the show. Thank you. Thank you. Well, thursday is the fourth of july and President Trump is getting what he wants for america americas independence day, military tanks in washington. Officials say a small number of Armored Vehicles will be on the National Mall but they wont parade down pennsylvania avenue. That is due to a need to protect roads and bridges.

Well, the white house is pushing back against criticism of first daughter and president ial adviser ivanka trump. She seemed to be front and center during some key moments at the g20 summit and her fathers visit to north korea. Cnns sara murray has our report. Reporter as ivanka trump tried to jump in to conversation with world leaders, including the canadian Prime Minister, the french president and the british Prime Minister, she created a viral moment.

Thank you, Prime Minister abe, for hosting the g20 summit in the vibrant city of osaka, and thank you for your steadfast commitment to womens economic empowerment. Reporter the 37yearold, whose official title is adviser to the president , left some National Security officials bristling, suggesting she was stepping into a role more commonly occupied by diplomats. A lot of really positive things are happening. Reporter and the president held an impromptu meeting at the korean border with kim jongun. Ivanka stood nearby. She shook the north korean dictators hand and later told a reporter the whole thing was surreal. In a photoop with the u. S. Delegation and their south korean counterparts, secretary of state mike pompeo shuffled behind the group looking for an opening as ivanka and her husband, jared kushner, beamed in the foreground. When she spotted pompeo, ivanka stepped to the side. Tonight democrats are sounding the alarm about a Foreign Policy neofight taking center stage. Congresswoman alexandria ocasiocortez tweeting, it may be shocking to some, but being someones daughter actually isnt a career qualification. It hurts our diplomatic standing when the president phones it in and the world moves on. But the president seemed thrilled to have ivanka take top billing alongside pompeo. Has anyone ever heard of ivanka . All right. Come up, ivanka. Come on. Shes going to steal the show. Shell steal the show. What a beautiful couple mike, beauty and the beat. Reporter ivanka also took to the spotlight in a video posted by the white house, offering a readout of the president s trilateral meetings with india and japan.

Reporter while ivanka has little formal diplomatic experience she does have experience doing business abroad, including in india, one of the Trump Organizations top markets. Now ivanka trump is formally on leave from the Trump Organization while she works in her fathers white house.

A Solar Eclipse like this one is when the earth, moon and sun all line up, and the moon blocks the suns entire surface. So which areas will be in the eclipse and will weather conditions cooperate . Lets find out as we go to our meteorologist ana cabrera at the International Weather center. So what do you think . Good to see you. If youre watching this from the United States, you better get on your plane soon to south america, this is only place thats going to see it. First, lets talk about a Solar Eclipse, if youve never been one, spectacular stuff. A couple of years ago in atlanta or just to the north. We have to have a new moon. That is the moon is between the sun and the earth. That doesnt happen every new moon thats because the orbits a bit different, right . When . About two times a year when the geometry is just right you get the moons shadow cast upon the earth. You want to be in the inner shadow. The outer shadow is going to give you a partial eclipse. Thats not the fun part. We have totality, july 2nd, where . South america. Lets talk about the very narrow path of totality. 99 aint gonna cut it.
