G7 summit in france, one he thinks might be a waste of time. Brazils military is being deployed to fight the blazes that are burning up parts of the amazon. Welcome to our viewers here in the United States and around the world. Live from the cnn center in atlanta, it is great to have you with us. The u. S. President is flying over the atlantic on his way to the g7 summit in Southern France which gets underway in the coming hours. Sources say President Trump is not a fan of the International Forum considering it a waste of time, but he is going. The trade dispute blew up more on friday President Trump announced he is raising tariffs on imports and china with another round of tit for tat. The dow plunged more than 700 points during the day closing down 623. Before leaving the white house the president said he was simply cleaning up the mess left by previous administrations. China has been hurting our country for 30 years with the money they have been taking out. Other president s should have done something about it and should have done something about it a long time ago. Clinton, bush, obama. They should have done something about it. I am doing it. I have no choice. We are not going to lose close to a trillion dollars a year. They understand we are not going to do it. This is more important than anything else right now just about that we are working on. Steven is covering the trade war from beijing. Steven, lets start with you. It looks like china really got trumps attention this time. That is right, cyril and Chinese State media stayed largely quiet over trumps latest proposed tariff hikes. The counter tariffs were not a surprise given how they have been saying for weeks they would retaliate against mr. Trumps proposed tariffs on 300 billion of chinese goods and said they had to defend chinas economic and national interests. But the swiftness of trumps announcement may have caught beijing officials offguard. When they do respond they will reiterate their longstanding position that they dont want a trade war but are not afraid of fighting it and how the economic relationship between the two countries is essentially mutually beneficial only if the two sides can sit down and talk with sinceritsincerity. But the latest back and forth will cast huge doubts over the next trade talks. It is supposed to take place in washington in september. One of the chinese preconditions is the immediate removal of all existing u. S. Tariffs. The latest announcements from more elusive. Ll make it all the let me head over to Nick Robinson in Southern France where the u. S. President is headed. Trump hasnt done well in previous g7s with the same group of people that will be there today. Who you is this one shaping up . Yeah. Cyril, you are right. The president is arriving here in a not so happy mood as you said before. He told aides he does not feel the g7 is worthwhile and does not feel like he gets enough time and opportunity to out to just how well u. S. Trade is doing around the world and how well he is handling the u. S. Economy. That is the contrary view here. The trade war with china is ramping up. That is exactly, exactly the scenario the leaders that President Trump will meet with here from japan, italy, germany, france and britain will be concerned. Canada of course as well. They will be concerned about it escalating the trade war. President trump when he comes in can be feisty and he certainly seems to be headed towards a confrontation with the french president. Why, specifically, because President Trump is concerned about the so called digital tax france is pushing ahead with. Europe is undecided how to tax the big u. S. Corporations, you know, googles, amazons, et cetera. How to tax them. France however is pushing ahead with taxation law on this. Italy and britain are considering the same. Germany hasnt made up its mind. President trump has a clear message. You hit the power houses of the u. S. Economy. The digital companies. You hit them with taxes that you say is unfair and we will respond. This is what he said he will do. I dont want france going out and taxing our companies. Very unfair. If they do that we will be taxing their wine or doing something else. Taxing their wine like they have never seen before. I dont like it. That is for us to tax them, not for france to tax them. Other than that i have a very Good Relationship as you know i think we will have a very good couple of days. All of that in the flesh is arriving in the shape of President Trump in a long time emanuel macron, the french president. The fires in brazil and iran will be among the topics as well. I just wonder to put it bluntly if there is a point to the meeting. You have the most powerful country in the group, the u. S. That does not like multilateralism and does not want to play ball and has totally different policy priorities. President trump values the bilateral meetings. It is an opportunity for the leaders to get together. We are expecting a smaller, more informal meeting between france, the uk and germany ahead of President Trumps involvement. They can talk amongst themselves about how they can come together to tackle President Trump on the key issues, the trade war with china being one of them. There is an opportunity there. In the days where you had one you could hold a country for what it signed up to, but we are not going to have that here this time. It will be an opportunity. Remember, the old days of International Diplomacy where you did not know what leaders would say to each other behind closeddoors. We dont know what president macron or merkel will say behind closeddoors but they will put their points of view forward and have them heard face to face and see a response but also collectively. Perhaps the g7 is like a six plus one. The trade, taxation and the climate issues. It is a chance for the others to gang up thats the wrong word. But voice very real and deeply held concerns. You say gang up, reminds me of the picture at the last g7. All of the World Leaders with arms crossed surrounding donald trump. Frowns on their faces. I want to talk more about this with natasha who teaches government in england. There is another thing we have not mentioned. It is pretty crazy that today, on friday, trump wondered who his biggest enemy was. For him it was a toss up between the chinese president xi or his own fed chairman jay powell. I am sort of speechless hearing the things he says. He seems not to know who his real enemies are and who he should be aligning with. We have seen it happen before. He has sided with dictators over his western european allies, over canada and this is another example of this. He seems to be attacking powell because he thinks that powell is responsible for economic policies that will lead the u. S. Into a recession. He is downplaying that it could happen. He is trying to place blame on powell for this. Natasha, i amnot surethat you heard this. Just before he took off from france President Trump was asked about the tweet and whether he wanted to see powell gone. The chairman of the fed is supposed to be independent and immune from pressure by the president. This is what donald trump said. I am not happy with jay powell. I dont think he is doinga i good job at all. I dont think he is much of a chess player. I got him, so, thats what i have. Do i want him to resign . If he did i would not stop him. I wanted to play that for you. I didnt know if you heard that. No, but it does not surprise me. He has been more and more recently attacking powell. Again it is all part of the plan to place blame on someone. I never heard of a president attacking the chairman of the Federal Reserve like this before. This is really unprecedented. You know, it is what he has to do in order to divert attention from some of his policies and getting back to the issue with china. Economists are claiming that a major cause of what is go to lead to a Global Economic recession and definitely a recession in the u. S. Is the trade war he initiated with china. It does not have an end game. You dont know what he will do. He seems to respond more with his gut than based on evidence and we see a quick and swift responses with these tariffs against china that will lead to more disarray in the stock market. We are seeing though he wants to place blame on others, some of his policies have been driving us towards economic downturn. Yeah. There may be another one to add to the list. You talked about how some of it is improvised. We know some of it is improvised. One of the things donald trump tweeted i order u. S. Companies to look for an alternative to china. That is striking. That raises the question does he have authority. Does the u. S. President have authorities to tell u. S. Companies where they should go. He said he absolutely has the authority to Tell Companies where they should be looking for business. But we are talking about the beacon of the free market economy involved in a trade war with china and it is the u. S. President telling companies what they should be doing. Again it is completely crazy he is doing this. He hasnt spontaneously Tell Companies you need to find an alternative to china. It does not just happen by snapping your fingers. It is unrealistic. The u. S. And the chinese economies are intertwined and embedded. They are each others biggest trading partners. Billions and billions of trade takes place. U. S. Companies are dependant on chinese products and vice versa. I think he does not understand how trade works and how many elements are involved. He is just spontaneously saying things that do not make sense. Natasha, thank you so much. Mr. Trumps argument to that, his answer would be the u. S. Economy is a bigger economy than the chinese and we are better equipped to win the trade war. That is the argument he has made since the beginning. Natasha, thank you for joining us.

Bolsonaro has authorized armed forces to fight the flames, but World Leaders want more action. Some leaders say they could block a trade deal between the European Union and the south american block that includes brazil. Bolsonaro sees it differently like the fires should not impact diplomacy. We are open to dialogue based on truth and an understanding of our sovereign tty. Forest fires exist all over the world and that cannot be the basis for possible international sanctions. Brazil continues to be, just as it is today a friendly country responsible in its protection of the amazon. Still president bolsonaro is criticized for his policies in the amazon encouraging businesses to develop the rain forest. Activists and Global Leaders alike are demanding action from brazils president as fires burn at an unprecedented rate he is under increasing pressure as his new government opens up the rain forest for business. Since taking office in january he acted on Campaign Promises to relax regulations in favor of restoring brazils economy and cut millions from the budget of brazils enforcement agency, loosening restrictions on mining, logging and farming and removing those that disapproved. In early august he lambasted satellite data showing surging reforestization calling them lies. The head of brazils Space Research institute was fired after defending the data showing it was 88 higher in june than the year before equating to an area larger than one and a half football fields destroyed every minute of every day and the reports led to an International Alarm bolsonaro brushed off. Take the money and reforest germany. In a rain forest, critical to those depending on their vast natural resources, groups in the amazon have rallied against bolsonaro saying should he be elected not one square centimeter of land would be designated for their reservations. With each passing day we see the destruction advance, deforestation, invasion and logging. We are sad because the forest is dying more every moment. We feel the climate changing. The world needs the forest. As attention turns to fires scorching the amazon at unprecedented rates bolsonaro calls it threatening to withdraw from the Paris Climate Accord should it be at stake. Brazil does not owe the world anything when it comes to environmental protection. Often called the lungs of the earth, the amazon supplies 20 of the worlds oxygen. As it burns the health of the amazon rain forest is critical to the health of the planet. For more information about how to support nonprofits supporting the amazon, go to cnn. Com impact. Yet again, north korea is apparently firing off missiles. The south Korean Military detected two projectiles launched early saturday morning. They flew towards the sea between the Korean Peninsula and japan. This is a regular occurrence. The seventh launch in the past few weeks. David, what do we know about the latest launch . Consistent with what we have seen out of north korea, there are several of the launches, shortrange Ballistic Missiles according to south koreas joints chiefs of staff. They had to come together and assess what the launch is all about. We know it happened early. Two rockets or missiles going up. The range is interesting here. These are 380 kilometers according to the joint chiefs. We are here in seoul, about 230. Certainly within range of the rockets. This is the fifth such launch since may. Alone and the ninth u. S. President donald trump is acknowledging it. He was asked about it. Take a listen. Kim jong un has been pretty straight with me. He likes testing missiles. But we never restricted shortrange missiles. We will see what happens. So the president said it several times, downplaying the fact these are shortrange missiles. The reality that launches of this type are still a violation of un security regulations and threatening neighbors like south korea, japan, tens of thousands of u. S. Troops. What we have seen in recent launches, enhanced capabilities coming from the north. Not just their way of protesting the u. S. south korean exercises that wrapped up this week. Publicly that is what they put across but also their way of sharpening their skills and nearly perfecting the ability to evade Defense Systems of the u. S. And of south korea. David, thank you.

The countries Environmental Agency is hiring hundreds of temporary firefighters to help as the president bolsonaro faces pressure to act from european leaders. North korea fires two more projectiles, shortrange Ballistic Missiles fired 15 minutes apart. They flew towards the waters between the Korean Peninsula and japan. The norths fifth launch this month alone. The u. S. china trade war escalated sharply on friday. The fallout, look at this. Back and forth immediately sparked a selloff on wall street with the dow dropping more than 600 points. Mr. Trump is on his way to the annual g7 summit held in france. He dislikes the forum and questions why he has to go. But it will give him a chance to meet with Boris Johnson and discuss bilateral trade after brexit. Britains new Prime Minister is also facing scrutiny on the international stage. With two months to go until they leave with or without a deal. He met with european leaders who he often disagrees like macron and merkel. This weekend mr. Johnson heads to the g7 and brings with him decades of animosity against the European Union. Anna stewart looks at the legacy of bad blood between the two. His stance on europe means that he is hated by some and adored by others. Boris johnsons rocky relationship with the eu began long before the term brexit was even coined. In the early 90s, johnson was posted to brussels for the british newspaper the telegraph where he developed a niche filing mocky stories about eu bureaucracy. Charles grant, a fellow brussels based journalist at the time new johnson well. He exaggerated hugely, sometimes invented stories. You became famous. Johnson dispatches advanced his career and grew to an antieu sentiment. I was chucking rocks over the garden where i heard an amazing crash from the greenhouse next door over in england. Everybody in brussels was having an amazing explosive effect. It gave me a rather weird sense of power. Not until 2016 johnson decided to stake his whole career on the issue of europe. When the brexit referendum he was called he did it about which sides to back. Perhaps calculating which would open the door to number 10, his long held dream. In the end he surprised many by coming out for vote leave and sent a stage in the campaign. Can we go forward to victory on june 23rd . Yes we can. He wrote two versions of the column that came out in his support for brexit. The published version which he say s there is only one way to get the change we want. Vote to leave the eu. The other. The unpublished version which he learns of an economic shock and the break up of the union should the eu leefr. Johnson picked the winning team. The uk has voted to leave the European Union. As Prime Minister europe is the biggest problem he has to face. He made a firm commitment. Brexit will happen on october 31st. He wants a revised deal to remove the irish backstop. Something brussels will not renegotiate. Boris is about facts. He is a cavalier. I think the trouble is when cavaliers meet round heads they have to fight and that is what is going to happen. Leaders in europe say they are willing to work with johnson but he makes promises he cant keep and he is about to drive britain off a cliff. Anna stewart, cnn, london. Dominic thomas joins us from london. This is a very important g7 for Boris Johnson. If brexit happens he and the uk will be on their own. Yes. He will find himself here on the frontlines trying to negotiate a very difficult relationship at this very tense g7 between President Donald Trump who he absolutely needs in terms of the optics of campaigning for a brexit to have the president talk about the importance of a trade deal but without going too far in defending that vision and brexit. The g7 is attended by the European Union. By the president of the council in the presence of two of the Major Players in the European Union, president macron and merkel. As he steps on to the world stage here for the first time. He will need powerful friend fist brexit happens. Will donald trump be his powerful friend . That is a difficult one cyril. Donald trumps intervention has caused so many problems and the opposition in the United Kingdom which has been unable to get around a remaining european position never came together over the threat of a no deal saying they would rather remain in the European Union rather than a no deal. Many have talked about a weakened britain in the face of donald trump because of the way that donald trump deals with the Bilateral Agreements and the potential of great britain, of the uk, becoming the 51st state of the United States. It is very difficult to see how much he can use and the benefits of talking about a trade deal without the process being contaminated by the negativity around donald trump. Donald trump made it clear he is looking out for number one and the United States. He does not want to be taken advantage of. He would rather be doing the taking advantage. If Boris Johnson has to nosht a trade deal with donald trump, sounds like donald trump wont be doing him any favors. It is on brexit happening and how long the transition period is and when the uk can begin the process. We see it with the g7 and the way than donald trump is arriving. Donald trump is emboldened by having someone at his side someone like Boris Johnson, the italian context. The deputy Prime Minister with his far right position close to those of donald trump. There is little agreement about anything at the g7. Not just disagreement on issues but radical differences with how they see the new world order working out. Donald trump is a powerful presence. He has so much more support globally than he had when he first went there three years ago. You can tell the impact of donald trump from last year until this year. Last year the other g7 countries were still hoping to get a communique and this year they are not even trying. President macron said there will be no communique because nobody reads them anyway. This will be the First Time Since 1975 they are not going to have a communique and the fact they are not going to attempt to have one is serious. It points to the chance of this organization that went from the g6 to the g7 to the g8 and they disagree on everything including whether or not russia should be introduced. Donald trump withdrew from the iran deal. There is an important issue of Climate Control which the president spoke out ahead of the g7 about how he wants to impose sanctions on the south American Trade Group and President Trump tweeted out there is a great trade deal to be struck with brazil. Not just a difference of position butti iddifference whe comes to thinking about the future of the democratic order. It will be interesting to see how the meeting unfolds and what pieces that we are left with of the puzzle. By the time they leave after this weekend. Dominic thomas, thank you very much for your analysis. We will speak again. Hong kong protesters are showing no signs of letting up. Hundreds are coming together for another weekend of rallies.

The british consulate worker is safe at home in hong kong after Chinese Police detained him for nearly two weeks. Simon chang was detained after violating a law including minor crimes but it was not clear why he was arrested in the first place. He was last season on august 8 as part of his job as a British Trade representative. Supporters demanded the uk do more to get chang released. This comes as hong kong enters its 12th straight week of protests. Parts of the citys subway system has been shut down in anticipation of a march, one of several rallies planned for the weekend. Andrew. Reporter thanks, cyril. The protesters are streaming past me for an hour or so. There are thousands and thousands of protesters here in an industrial part of hong kong. This protest specifically is about the roll out of hightech surveillance equipment which the protesters tell me raises real concerns about facial recognition and another state towards a police state. A state where there is a fear they can become more and more like beijing. They are marching to a park three or four kilometers from where i am standing. There has been some police. Not a Police Presence with riot equipment near the underground station. The underground closed it some of the trains around the area to avoid problems with people and police clashing in the underground. That opened the eye of the people here and it has been the target of real criticism in beijing as well. Beijing said they have been too soft on protesters. Protesters saying it has been unfair on them. This is becoming a familiar story how beijing is leaning more and more on corporations to try to help them contain the protesters. So far no evidence at all the protests are being contained. Clearly not. Evidently not. I remember yesterday looking at the newspaper with the hsbc ad, taking a stand against the protests, wanting them to end. Clearly people are not taking their cue from hsbc on this one.

Prosecutors say they are looking at allegation of Sexual Assault and rape against minors, some of whom are younger than 15 years old. As we know, he was arrested coming back from paris. He was on a flight. He was arrested in new jersey here in the u. S. , where he was met by federal authorities and taken into custody. Officials had been tracking him, waiting for him to come back in the u. S. He has a home there. The other significant thing here, is they can uncover, much like here in the u. S. , we know People Associated with Jeffrey Epstein during this time have been under investigation. We could see this investigation in france grow, not just in terms of Jeffrey Epstein. It could potentially implicate others. Epstein died by suicide in jail this month while awaiting trial for allegedly running a child sex trafficking ring. Influential financier david koch has died. They funded foundations, thinktanks, political groups, to push their free market, small government libertarian message. David kochs family did not announce the official cause of death.
