Market goes up in flames. From World Headquarters here in atlanta, we want to welcome our viewers from the United States and all warned the world. Im george howell. Im Natalie Allen and youre watching cnn newsroom. Thank you again for joining us. We begin with breaking news. New york times reporting that the president s son, Donald Trump Jr, met with the russian lawyer after being promised damaging information on Hillary Clinton. The times says the meeting took place on june 9th of last year. That was two weeks after donald trump clenched the republican president ial nomination. This is the first public indication that at least some in the Trump Campaign were willing to accept russian help. Donald trump jr provide cnn with the following statement. Quote i was asked to have a meeting by an acquaintance i knew from the 2013 Miss Universe pageant with an individual who i was told might have information helpful to the campaign. I was not told her name prior to the meeting. I asked jared and paul to attend but told them nothing of the substance. We add meeting in june of 2016. After please an tries were ex changed the woman stated that she had information that individuals won nekted to russia were funding the Democratic National committees and supporting miss clinton. Her statements were vague and ambiguous and made no sense. No details or supporting information was provided or even offered. It quickly became clear that she had no meaningful information. She then changed subjects and gaen discussing the adoption of russian children and mentioned the maginitsky act. It became clear to me that this was the true agenda all along and that claims of potentially helpful information were a pretext for the meet pg. I interrupted and advised her that my father was not an elected official but rather a private sit even and that her comments and concerned were better addressed if and when he held public office. The meeting lasted approximately 20 to 30 minutes. As it ended my acquaintance apologized for taking up our time. That was the end of it and there was no further contacted or followup of any kind. She told the paper that nothing about the u. S. President ial campaign was discussed in that meeting. We get more now from cnns elise labity. The attorney, was talking about an adoption ban put in place years ago as retaliation for american law passed in 2012. That law is known as the magnitsky act. And she has also sought repeal of that legislation and that is what she wanted to talk about. Now trump jr said he quickly ended the meeting that point. Saying that the issue would be better addressed if his father won the election. But trump jr never reported the meeting. But it does seem to be early indications that sush rans weus were seeking out members of the Trump Campaign. We have not been able to reach her but she did tell the New York Times she was not asking on behalf of the russian government. She said she never discussed matters with any government representatives but again she is known as someone who had worked to try and repeal this u. S. Legislation damaging to russian officials. And sh could be of interest to special Counsel Robert Mueller whose investigation is looking into contacts between russia, Trump Campaign and allegations of collusion which President Trump has denied. Elise labott there with details. As elise mentioned, Robert Mueller and congressional committees are looking into whether the Trump Campaign had contactes with russia. Michael talked with cnn about the latest revelations. This is possibly a piece of a puzzle thats now been put together which is information seized illegally from the dnc. A cutout and yet these bridge of spies to see whether or not this is a cutout on behalf of the government of the sof yviet uni of russia, or not. It seems like it was. Can you kushner at the meeting, at the behest of trump jr. He is the link for the campaign. Next thing we knee there is wikileaks leak. Those to me are not as easily tld as coincidences. I that i is something that mueller will look at carefully. In legal terms, when have you a circumstantial case, which is what this is, where people say Different Things and you have to evaluate the credibility of witnesses to make determinations as to who is truthful and whos not, these evolving stories, this drip, drip, drip of the truth just doesnt seem to be in any way helpful to their legal position which will be down the line evaluated by mueller. All of this comes on the heels of that facetoface meeting between the u. S. President donald trump and the russian president Vladimir Putin and during the conversation, mr. Trump brought up russias meddling in the u. S. Election. Heres how he explains it in a tweet. Quote, i strongly pressed president putin twice about russian meddling in our election. He vehemently denied it. Ive already given my opinion, he says. White house chief of staff writes, he said that russia dbe russia meddled. He said they did meddle in the election. And says, can which drives the media crazy, but it is an absolute fact, is that others may have as well. Thats true. China has. North korea has. They have consistently over many, many years. So yes, he believes that russia probably committed all of these acts that weve been told of. But he also believes that other countries also participated it did take days to get that final definitive answer from the u. S. Officials but some republicans dont necessarily buy it. Here is how one top senator explained the situation. When it comes to russia, hes got a blind spot. And to forgive and forget when it comes to putin regarding cyberattacks is to empower putin. Thats exactly what hes doing. Mr. Trump also tweeted about his meeting with putin. We negotiated a ceasefire, he wrote, in parts of syria, which will save lives. Now its time to move forward and work constructively with russia, exclamation park. Putin and i discussed forming an impen trabl cybersecurity un soit that Election Hacking and many other negative things will be guarded. Im sure that Vladimir Putin could be of enormous assistance in that effort since he is doing the hacking. I mean, its we might as well just mail our ballot boxes to moscow. I dont think thats an answer at all. The u. S. President himself is now backing away from that idea a short time ago. He tweeted that the fact that putin and i discussed a cybersecurity unit doesnt mean i think can happen. It cant. But a ceasefire can and did. All right. Lets get perspective on all of this. Change u chance is live in the russian capital this hour with us. Matthew, what can you tell bus this latest reporting from the New York Times regarding Donald Trump Jr . Well, i mean, so far theres been no reaction to that. But i can tell you when there is reaction, we are expecting a call with the kremlin which is held daily with the reporters in russia. And we will put these issues to it as will others in the capital. I expect their reaction will be the same as its been when theyve been asked about the allegations of collusion and interference in the u. S. Election if the past which is to categorically deny it. Look, we have reached out to the lawyer involved. And we have been in contact with her but she refused to give us a a statement so far. We are hoping that will change. We will have a bit more clarity. But in terms of what reaction is generally in the media amongst lawmakers here perhaps, this story hasnt filtered through to them yet. We expect itll pick up traction throughout the course of the day. We also reported the fact that russia and the United States do due to the president s propose the idea of working together on cybersecurity unit to focus on guarding against cyber threats. Like meddling in elections of other countries. But now the u. S. President walking that back a bit on his latest tweet. Reaction to that, there . This was major game, matthew, pr t from the president s for the g20. Right. Loo, there a very successful from both the president s point of view and certainly from the Russian Point of view. Very successful first facetoface meeting. Expectations on the russian side were really low. Because of the state of u. S. Russia relations. Saying at the state media here. And views of the kremlin say look we even get the chance to plan a second meeting with President Trump. That will be regarded by the kremlin as success. They address core issues at the heart of the very difficult u. S. russian relationship. Went of them was cybersecurity. Youre right, President Trump said they discussed forming this group, this unit, to what was it, impen trabl unit so hacking and other things will be safe. And look, just because we discussed it, doesnt mean itll happen. In fact, it cant. He back tracked. The Russian Foreign minister said it is important that the United States and russia talk together, coordinate issues of hacking in all its forms. Of counter tris terrorism and o things like that, for organized crime. Russians are keen with working with the United States. They emphasize areas of cooperation to perhaps distract from the areas where they are in conflict. Matthew chance live for us in moscow. Thank you for the report. Litsds talk more about what president is saying about russia. Scott lucas joins me now via skype. He is founder and editor of ea world view. Scott with be thanks for being with us. I know you were seeing those tweets and reading those tweets from President Trump about his meetings with russia and now that he, you know, having to walk back that cybersecurity plan, it is still just seems he is just wanting to cheer on russia in some sense. Lets cut to the chase with two points and two questions. Point one, donald trump was ready to ally with the the leader after country, russia, who ordered, reportedly, wide scale interference in the 2016 u. S. Election. Two, donald trump was ready to make that alliance while at the same time denouncing u. S. Intelligence agencies saying they are unreliable, saying there is no firm evidence. And he said, no firm evidence, of russian interference in that election. Now, the questions, one, does donald trump really consider Vladimir Putin to be more reliable than u. S. Agencies . Or in some way does trump fear that either he or one of his associates have been compromised by the russians. And two, what damage does it do to u. S. Foreign policy to alliances that have been forged for more than 70 years with other countries and to the image of america in the eyes of the world . Right. Because we know that during the summit, the United States was kind of sidelined. Europe doesnt see the United States as a solid ally that it has before. And it seemed like all of the attention was on the putin trump meeting but at the same time, President Trumps protectionism for the United States put him in a very different place at the summit. I think thats a great point. For many people, over the weekend, the trump Putin Meeting dominated the headlines. In some ways suck the oxygen out of the really big developments. Lets call it the g19, discussing climb aate change, refugees, responding to crises such as islamic state, such as north korea. Trump in his sense was sidelined because putin and declarations. The United States would pursue protectionist trade policies and that priority would be russia say for for example nato or coordinated approach to migration. Immigration question. And these refugees that many countries are confronting. So theres a very vivid shot where donald trump is sitting at a table. Alone. No one around limb. And all the other leaders are discussing what is going on. I think thats prep accidentive. Representative. Yes. And wonder if it will come back it hurt the United States. The wish he wants it make america great. But being sidelined. Whaen do you s and what do you see moving in from the void . I guess china would be one. China is trying to remove diplomatic relationships. Im particularly interested in what european leaders do. They dont think they could set the unit aside. It is too important despite donald trump. I think at the same type Angela Merkel of germ, macron of france, are looking at the fact europe can no longer wait for washington. They have to take the lead for climate change. Sthe ha they have to take the lead on security. Say brazil, closer to u. S. , mexico, look for example and say south africa, or major country like indonesia, all of those countries are reassessing what they are doing. Because the coalition of a u. S. Led world, that we have had since 1945, is crumbling is is something of the past. Scott lucas, thank you for joining us. Thank you. The key city of mosul is liberated from isis. This after three years of militants there. What lies ahead to prevent future conflict. A fire at an iconic market near Central London weeks after a deadly fire.

They lost so many men. The fighting continued in small parts of western mosul. Now of course the daunting task of how do you rebuild all of that right there. Working the story for us live, the question for you is, where do they begin . Theyve been thinking how do we do this once ice ssis is out an bring mosul back together. That is what one would hope. It is unclear really if there is a proper post battle plan. You know, this victory is quite significant for iraq right now and you are seeing people celebrating this. Theres no doubt there is a b j major blow to isis but the tough task is still ahead. They need to make sure they are able to stabilize and secure mosul as well as other parts of the country that are recaptured from isis. They need to rebuild those areas that have been devastated. Those predominantly sunni areas, that have seen some of the worst fighting over the past year or so. They need to rebuild those areas so people, hundreds of thousands who have did not displaced from their homes have something to go back to to try and rebuild their shattered lives. Now perhaps the most daunting of all of the tasks ahead for Iraqi Government and especially for Prime Minister is to try and rebuild trust between the different component of iraqs community and to make sure that sunni population feels that things have changed. That this is a new iraq. That their grievances will be addressed. Same thing that led to the emergence of ices when it exploits those division fles iraq that needs to be a addressed. It is critical for iraq to work on a real and True National rock r reconciliation that hasnt happened in iraq since 2003. You are seeing, natalie, the end of isis in mosul. But that does not mean the end of isis in iraq. Right, lets talk about that. Where are the other pockets and how significant are they . Well, if you look at northern iraq, there is still some towns, cities, under the control of isis. Mosul is the most significant of recapturing and a major victory for them. It is iraq esecond large st cit. You still have places closer to the Syrian Border but in the western Anbar Province there, isis still controls some territory. We have seen them in that part of the country launching quite frequently, targeting Iraqi Security forces in that part of the country. Perhaps an indication of the capabilities they still possess. Ability to carry out these sort of attacks. This is something that is raising concern amongst so many iraqis that while isis is losing ground, losing territory, it might be reverting back it groups as an Insurgent Group that may carry out attacks and is still fresh in the mind of iraqis especially in cities like the capital of baghdad that has seen some of the most devastating terrorist attacks over the past few years and that will remain a concern for so many people as isis is ush pushed out more and more territory in iraq. Natalie . Hopefully the mosul deal will have them somewhat demoralized. Hopefully. Thank you so much. Another overnight fire to tell but in london. Firefighters are battling massive flames in camden market. This is their second major fire in weeks. Another fire killed about 80 people. This isnt the only major fire at this market. Emergency calls started coming in around midnight local time. This was visible around a wide area. Images posted to social media show how dramatic it looks on the night time london skyline. The authorities responded with some force around 70 firefighters, 10 fire engines, battling the fire for hours before declaring it was out and then working through the morning. There was no risk the fire could take hold once again. No reported injuries as a result of this fire. Camden mark the is without doubt one of londons best known market areas. So very busy during the day. But at that time of the night, there would have been very few pe
