Injured now, more than 80 people arrested. Also, new details of the first facetoface meeting between trump and putin. It ran more than 90 minutes over schedule and began with mr. Trump raising concern over russian cyber meddling in his u. S. President ial campaign. Russias foreign minister said mr. Putin denied interference and mr. Trump accepted his word. That account is denied. We have exclusive cnn reporting tonight on the fight against isis. Our Nick Payton Walsh and his crew gained rare dangerous access inside the selfproclaimed capital of raqqa, syria. U. S. Backed forces are tightening their circle around the city tonight with terrorists, fighters struggling to hold onto their dwindling ground. Were covering all that and more this hour with our guests including British Defense secretary Michael Fallon and the top democrat on the Senate Foreign relations committee, the senator ben card on. Correspondents and specialists standing by. We begin with the wave of violence around the g20 summit. Cnns Senior International correspondent fred is in hamburg, germany. Frederick, were seeing new protests tonight. Still violent there, still dangerous on the streets of hamburg. Reporter yeah, jim, youre absolutely right. We have to move now, apparently the police are charging the protesters at the moment. Wait, wait, stop. Jim, we had to run a little bit there. Keep yourself safe. Reporter tear gas. Looks like the police fired some tear gas. We are now starting to feel as well. Were going to make a little move back, but this is whats been going on, jim. There have been skirmishes between protesters and Police Officers on the ground. There have been barricades that have been burning. Weve seen the police make a move forward, charge the crowd here. And thats what really caused us to make this move. Youre hearing bangz, flash bangs the police are moving as well. Protesters for their part have been attacking the police with bottles. Theyve been throwing rocks also. Its been a charged atmosphere. As you can see it is not showing signs of letting up. I have to say ive been reporting on this country for a very long time and its been a long halftime since ive seen Something Like this in a german city. Fred, it looks like its gotten much more dangerous just in the last hour there. The booms were hearing are flash booms, this is not gun fire . Reporter no, its not. The flash bangs being used are being used by the Police Obviously to drive people back. There are no gunshots here. Youre right, it has gotten a lot more dangerous, a lot more violent i would say in the past hour or so since the last time we spoke. Weve seen the police are making a move forward. Before that you had the protesters sort of setting barricades on fire, police keeping them back using the water canon trucks. Thats now changed. The police themselves are now moving forward, certainly trying to cord on the protesters if not trying to make it stop. Not showing any signs of doing that. There are many streets here in hamburg where this is still going on here, very close actually to where the g20 summit is taking place, jim. What are the protesters trying to accomplish here, and whats led to these more violent clashes just in the last hour . Reporter well, you know, obviously many of them are voicing their displeasure at the g20 being held here in the city. Many of them have a political agenda as well. They feel that, a lot of the folks are commenting their policies are not fair to ordinary people. Not just here in germany, but of course around europe as well. And what they want to do is they want to disrupt the g20 summit and weve already talked about it. Some of that, theyve been successful with some of that. For instance, disrupting the first lady, that she wasnt able to go to one of the appointments she was to go to organized by Angela Merkels husband. There have been other delegations that have had a harder time moving around hamburg. Its the general disruption i think these folks here want to achieve. Of course, they also want to make sure that the World Leaders that are assembled to hamburg, that they see whats going on here on the streets, that they certainly while they are in that bubble, that they still see whats going on and what they are doing here. First thing i want to say is if you have to move at any moment, fred, move. Your safety far more important than anything. Reporter sure. Is there a sense as youve been watching this over the last several hours that police are losing control of the protests . Reporter no yeah, i think that in certain areas its very difficult for them to come to grips with it. In the immediate area around the summit venue, they are certainly not losing control. Here in the streets, you know, you dont see many Police Officers right here inside the cordoning they have sort of formed around this neighborhood here. Certainly there is no Police Presence whatsoever. You could say theyve lost control here to a certain extent in some of the streets. Weve seen i also have to say, some looting going on of shops here in the area. Weve seen scaffolding that was damaged as well. Yeah, there certainly isnt a Police Presence where i am right now. I wouldnt say on the whole, though, theyre losing control of the situation in hamburg. I think they still are very much in control. However, it is proving very, very difficult for them. They had 20,000 Police Officers in and around here when all of this began. Theyve already decided to call for reinforcements. They have 46 water canon trucks they have been using extensively. The scenes were seeing tonight, we had the bon fire the last time we spoke. Were already seeing barricades. We have to move again. Sorry about that. Stay safe. Well be checking in with you throughout the hour. Again, youve been watching live pictures there of increasingly violent protests this in hamburg germany. Very close to where World Leaders, including President Trump, are meeting right now. Now lets delve into the much anticipated meeting between trump and putin at the g20 summit. Cnns senior Diplomatic Correspondent Michelle Kosinski has been working that story for us. Michelle, we are learning new details tonight about what exactly was discussed and how it was discussed between putin and trump. Reporter this is a very private meeting. So, the insight we have as to what happened comes from secretary of state Rex Tillerson who said that president s trump and putin had a quick connection and a positive chemistry. Trump seems to relish the element of surprise or doing the opposite of what the analysts or even some within his own administration think he will do. Tillerson today said that instead of avoiding the subject, trump opened the meeting by raising concerns over russias meddling in the u. S. Election. Appreciate it. President putin and i have been discussing various things and i think its going very well. Reporter the handshakes were public. The meeting, private. The briefing afterward, no cameras allowed. Secretary of state Rex Tillerson detailing how he says the first trumpputin facetoface meeting played out. The president opened the meeting with president putin by raising the concerns of the American People regarding russian interference in the 2016 election. They had a very robust and lengthy exchange on the subject. President putin denied such involvement. Reporter tillerson says trump pressed putin more than once on cyber meddling, but then moved on to avoid it being nearly an argument. Russian foreign minister had a different version of events. Translator President Trump said he heard putins very clear statements that this is not true, and that the russian government did not interfere in the elections, and that he accepts these statements. Reporter the white house responded saying there was no acceptance of the russian view. Really only trumpputin, their top diplomats and translators know exactly what happened. Was it brought up where he said some people in my country are exaggerating or pushing this narrative and, you know, we need to bring this to an end. Or was it i know for sure, despite what ive said to the press, that you were involved and this has to stop. Did he say there will be consequence . So, all of that detail is missing. We may never find out. Reporter on thursday in poland, President Trump would not say for certain if russia was responsible. A lot of people interfered. Reporter when tillerson was asked by reporters, though, whether trump was unequivocal that russia did meddle, he didnt answer. He called the meeting constructive, a good start. The two leaders, i would say, connected very quickly. There was a very clear positive chemistry between the two. I think, again and i think the positive thing i observed and ive had many, many meetings with president putin before is there was not a lot of relitigating of the past. Im delighted to meet you, mr. President. Reporter though the initial greetings for the cameras were somewhat stiff, tillerson told reporters there was so much to talk about, it was difficult to stop the two hour 15 minute meeting. After the first hour the first lady came into the room asking if they wanted to wrap up, but the discussion went on. Syria being the focus, they were able to announce today an agreement between russia and the United States on a cease fire in southwest syria starting sunday. And on the cyber issue, an agreement to discuss a framework and commitments to not interfere. Though clearly there remains a big gap in approach here. The real question is how do you deter him from acting in that way in the future. What are the punishments and the costs that President Trump would impose on russia to ensure they do not repeat that action in 2018 and 2020. And he did not do that. Reporter there were plenty of questions here. I mean, did the subject take up 30 seconds before they moved on, or 30 minutes. Remember, the u. S. Intelligence community believes it was not not just russia, but putin himself who ordered this intrusion into u. S. Democracy. This administration has not answered the question of what do you intend to do to punish russia, or to make sure that this does not happen again. The extent of what we heard today from secretary tillerson was that trump did bring up the fact that the senate at least has passed a bill to strengthen sanctions against russia, and he did that to show the seriousness of the issue. Jim . Cnns Michelle Kosinski at the state department, thanks very much. We continue watching the situation on the streets of hamburg where police are using tear gas, water canons to push back protesters who have been setting fires, looting buildings, injuring dozens of Police Officers. We are also following the disagreement tonight over key detail of todays meeting between President Trump and president putin, whether trump accepted putins denial that russia meddled in the 2016 election. Cnn senior White House Correspondent jim accosta has been covering that part of the story for us. Jim, you spoke to Administration Officials tonight who pushed back really against russias account that President Trump somehow accepted putins position. What more have you been learning . Reporter thats right, jim. A Senior Administration official told me the president did not accept Vladimir Putins claim of noninterference in the last election. That was after the Russian Foreign minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters he had in fact accepted putins denials. That is going to be a nagging question for this white house moving forward. There are questions by Clinton Campaign officials. The president needs to stay on camera. Secretary tillerson painted a different picture to reporters saying both sides could not come to an agreement at all on this issue of interference and said that the question moving forward is what do we do now. That is a huge question, jim. What do we do now . Both sides do not have any answers so that question today. As you know, cnn had been told by Administration Officials that the president was not initially planning or they didnt expect the president to bring up election meddling. Have Administration Officials explained a change of heart in this meeting . Reporter not yet, and it is a seemingly very big change of heart, jim. Just yesterday, as you know, the president insisting it wasnt clear that russia alone was meddling in last years election, adding other countries could have been involved. Contrast that with today and tillersons account the president brought this up right away. That is a sign that perhaps the president is listening to his critics. But keep in mind the president also, according to Rex Tillerson, was passing on what he described as the concerns of the American People. So, its not clear that the president was passing on his concerns and one has to assume based on what he said yesterday that he was not passing on his concerns, but the concerns of people back in washington. And also look to what happened earlier today. The president was still blaming others for the election meddling. He slammed Clinton Campaign chair john podesta for not turning over dnc servers to federal investigators. That, of course, is not something that podesta can do as he was running the Clinton Campaign, not the dnc. So, as of this morning the president was still deflecting on this issue. I think thats a pretty clear indication, jim, that the president has not had a change of heart on this issue but felt compelled politically to bring this up with putin in this meeting. If he had talked to putin two hours and not brought this up he would have big political problems heading back to washington, jim. Jim accosta, thanks very much. Lets get more from senator ben card in, the senior democrat on the Foreign Relations committee. Thanks for joining us this holiday week. Jim, its good to be with you. Thank you. As you know, just reminding our viewers, you and a handful of other Senate Democrats wrote a letter to President Trump ahead of this meeting actually urging him to raise russian hacking during the u. S. Election. We are told by secretary tillerson that he did. Are you satisfied that he led this meeting with it . Did he do what you had pushed him to do . Well, it was very important that this issue be raised. So, i am certainly pleased that it was the subject that was brought up during their meeting. Obviously we dont know the details of the conversation, but it was important for the president to make it clear that we know russia interfered in our elections, that if they continue this pattern, there is going to be additional sanctions that will be imposed and were not going to stand by and let russia interfere with our democratic system. That was the message i hope the president delivered in a very clear manner with mr. Putin. As you know just yesterday President Trump in his press conference undermined his intelligence agencys assessment it was russia who directed these election hacks, raising doubts, raising the possibility of others being involved even though u. S. Intelligence says it has seen no evidence of that. For viewers back home, for americans, how should they rectify the president s Public Comments yesterday, questioning whether russia was behind this and tillersons account today that the president raised the election meddling forcefully in his meeting with president putin . Its hard to understand why President Trump undermined the Intelligence Community with this statement yesterday or day before. Its very difficult to understand. Russia clearly interfered in our elections. Intelligence communities made that very clear. And yet the president raised doubt about that just a day ago. That makes no sense at all and didnt give him the strongest hand going into meeting with president putin. We hope that he clarified that and made it clear to president putin there was no doubt from our information that russia interfered, and we will not tolerate that. Sanctions have already been imposed, additional sanctions will be imposed if they continue this behavior. Thats the Important Message that he had to give to mr. Putin. I cannot explain why mr. Trump does certain things and undermines his own statements at times. Its difficult to understand. Youve been a strong proponent of stepping up, in fact, pressure on russia as a result of election meddling, the Senate Passed a new sanctions last month a rote of 982, obviously bipartisan. The house has its own bill but thats been delayed because the white house opposes some details in that legislation. Now there is talk that that issue has been resolved. From where you sit, are the senate and house going to be able to agree on a piece of legislation imposing new sanctions on russia for election interference . Well, i certainly hope so. Our bill passed 982. It was very bipartisan, a very strong bill. It speaks to the appropriate role for congress. We think it gives the president a much stronger hand in dealing with mr. Putin. It makes it clear these must be imposed if russia does these behaviors. So, i would hope the house would take it up very, very quickly when we return on monday and send it back to us and lets get this done. Lets get this on the president s desk. Do you have any concern if you get it on his desk the president will not sign it, will perhaps veto it . I think the president will sign it. The numbers i think in the house will be comparable to the numbers we had in the senate. This is a clear message that we dont tolerate this type of behavior. Its not just meddling in our elections, interfering with our elections. Its also what hes done in ukraine, georgia, mull dove a. Mr. Putin, its also his interference in syria. There will be a cease fire. We dont know the details. We dont know whether this is going to be real or not. It is important that we keep the pressure on russia. Its not just us. Our european allies are fully in support of what were doing. Russia needs to understand that theyre out of step with the international responsibilities. Lets talk about that cease fire because this was a hard concrete deliverable from this putintrump meeting here in a civil war thats raged on for half a dozen years. Its only a portion of the countrys southwestern steer i cant. But it is a cease fire in a bloody war. Is there reason for aoptimism this is a positive step forward . Well see what this holds. I thought it was important mr. Tillerson said president assad has no future in syria. I think that was an important statement to be made during the g20. What we need to do now is see whether we can in fact have a cease fire in place that leads to direct negotiations so that we can end the civil war and concentrate on our battle against isis. But we need a government in syria that represents all the communities and clearly president assad has no future in syria. Senator cardin, thanks very much for joining us. My pleasure. Good to be with you. Thank you. We again want to show you live pictures of the situation really alarming situation on the streets of hamburg, germany. Police and protesters clashing there, sometimes violently. Were going to have more on this and other stories right after this. A trip back to the dthe doctors office, mean just for a shot.

Increasingly violent protests at the g20 summit in hamburg, germany. Fires burning on the streets. City riot police using tear gas, water canons to disperse the crowds. Hundreds of people have been injured, many of them Police Officers. Dozens arrested. Also breaking, new details of the meeting between President Trump and russian president Vladimir Putin at the g20 summit. Mr. Trump did raise the issue of russian interference in the u. S. Election which mr. Putin once again denied. Russian Officials Say mr. Trump accepted that denial, but a senior trump Administration Official said thats simply not true. Joining us now for more is British Defense secretary Michael Fallon who met today with u. S. Defense secretary james mattis. And certainly much for you to discuss. If we can start on syria, because that arising out of this putintrump meeting. A limited cease fire in the country. In your view is this a substantive positive step . Its a cease fire agreement. Its not a cease fire itself. But it is to be welcomed. Any cease fire. That war has gone on so long. But previous cease fires have broken down in aleppo and russia has allowed the regime to go on bombing its own civilians so it does need to be inforced on the ground so we can get more humanitarian aid in some of those areas where its really badly needed. Its welcome but lets see it enforced. Do you trust russia as a partner ending the war will . Russia of course has backed the assad regime who has been the number one perpetrator of this civil war really against his own people. No, we dont trust russia. We cant deal with russia as a Business Partner any more after what it did in the ukraine and its been able to could have stopped this civil war in russia years ago now. Russia has huge influence over the regime. Could have stopped the killing, stopped the bombing and helped us work towards a political settlement in syria. Russia could have done that a long time ago, and still needs to help get the different parties in syria around the table to chart a better political settlement for that country. The u. K. Doesnt trust russia as pay partner in this. Is President Trump making a mistake to enter in such an agreement . You have to engage with russia. What we say is engage but beware. Russia cant be trusted on everything, but its important to talk to russia, to reduce tension with russia, to have dialogue there, and to keep persuading russia to use its influence for the good in those areas of the world where russia has strong influence. Now, syria is one of them. The last time President Trump went to europe, he rattled even americas closest allies by not mentioning nato article 5, americas commitment to nato article 5 mutual defense. At his speech yesterday in poland, he did. Are you satisfied, and after meeting with secretary mattis, do you have confidence in americas commitment to nato . Yes, im quite sure of americas continuing commitment to nato. The president made that very clear right after his inauguration when our Prime Minister visited washington. And it is good to hear yesterday, that specific commitment to article 5 whereby each country can come to the aid of anybody who is attacked. Look, we have a really strong relationship administration. I work with secretary mattis. We work right across the administration on improving nato, on modernizing natd owe and encouraging the other allies to reach that 2 target. Britain hits that 2 target. We think america is right to encourage the rest of europe to do so, too. Clearly speaking with mattis, the advance against isis in iraq and syria, top of the agenda, u. S. And the u. K. Of course partners there. You have really commendable progress in the last several weeks. Mosul effectively fallen. U. S. Forces now inside raqqa, the selfdeclared caliphate. Do you see isis losing its caliphate in the near term . Well, its certainly beginning to lose its cal i fate certainly in iraq. Some 4 Million People in both countries, iraq and syria have now been liberated from their rule. Mosul is the last city they held and they are almost out of mosul now. There is still some clearing up work to do and there is more work to do over in syria. But through air power and the Royal Air Force has been alongside the americans in the strikes that weve carried out, and through a lot of training and a lot of effort on the ground, you know, weve helped iraqi forces recover their own country and we need to do the same in syria. President trump the last time you met with senior russian officials in the white house, lavrov and the russian ambassador, rattled an ally by sharing classified information that he was not meant to. Is there any concern in the u. S. british intel of sharing relationship . Well, we share intelligence with you in the United States. You share intelligence with us. Its been a very, very close relationship. So, any weakening of that relationship, we would take extremely seriously. But im not going to comment more than that. Okay. Youre not going to express confidence in the state of that intelligence sharing . Certainly, we rely on the intelligence you share with us and vice versa. Not just important keeping tabs with what russia is up to. It is important in the battle against terrorism. The famous five is. Minister fallon, thanks very much for taking the time. Pleasure. The breaking news continues ahead. Well take you back live to streets in hamburg where Police Continue to clash outside the summit, plus an exclusive look inside the selfproclaimed isis capital of raqqa where u. S.

We are following multiple breaking stories including whats turned into running clashes between police and protesters just outside the g20 summit in hamburg, germany. Cnns Senior International correspondent frederick is right in the middle of there. Weve seen you running at times from police as they advance there. What are we seeing there now . Reporter yes, its become a little of a standoff, jim, what were seeing now. I can tell you the police front line is there. Theyre flashing their flashlights. Move a little closer now, there are still a lot of protesters who are out here. There are still a lot of clashes actually going on as well. Were right now at one of the sort of cordons police have set up where its a standoff situation right now. Of course as youve seen the last two hours that weve spoken, that can change pretty quickly and things start moving very quickly. Certainly i can say that it doesnt seem as though this is going to die down any time soon because there are still many, many people who are out here on the streets and the police certainly seem to be up for a very long night as well. They still have several choppers im hearing overhead right now. One of the other things that has also been happening is there has been some looting hereof some stoerds. There have been people who have been injured. Theres a lot of Police Officers who have been injured as well as these clashes have been going on. They have been using quite a bit of tear gas recently. Here in germany its a sign as a situation is escalating. Weve seen especially over yesterday and parts of today it was a lot of water canons being used, but now that theyve escalated theyre up to using tear gas. You can tell they are taking a harder line. Weve heard those flash bangs. Stay safe. Thanks very much. Now lets dig deeper into developments at the g20 summit the important meeting between trump and putin. John kirby, help our viewers understand and rectify the donald trump of yesterday at a press conference in foreign country questioning whether it was russia by itself or whether it was really much evidence it meddled in the election, and today who secretary tillerson says he forcefully delivered the message, no more meddling in our elections . Well, i hope that he actually has had a change of heart here. I hope that the staff was able to convince him that what the intelligence agencies all know and have said publicly, look, im just glad that he did it. I commend him for bringing it up. I commend him for doing it at the beginning of the meeting. If secretary tillersons account is accurate, i have no reason to doubt it, it is also commendable. Its interesting lavrov comes out with a completely different view. You can chalk that up to translation. Maybe they agreed to disagree. Ive been in plenty meet wgz Sergey Lavrov. Hes a very skilled diplomat. Its not unlike him to come out of a meeting with a completely different perspective and Say Something to cameras that did not comport with what we discussed. Even if you take secretary tillersons account at face value, the message is ambiguous. It is important and valuable the president brought it up, after suggesting he would not. On the other hand, secretary tillerson said we agree to disagree which kind of implies that you are giving equal weight to the unanimous conclusion of the entire Intelligence Community and the word of an autocrat who has also denied killing his opponents inside russia and outside of russia. Secondarily, when you say you want to look forward, thats kind of an interesting formulation as well because many people would argue the best way to prevent this Going Forward is not so much further conversation. Its consequences for what they have already done, which you are essentially putting off of the table. So, even at its face value, the version that secretary tillerson offered, i think, does not go to the point of truly drawing a line in the sand and saying, look, we believe that we know that you did this, and there are going to be consequence for what youve already done as the best way of preventing you from doing it in the future. Neither side, jeremy diamond, said there is a discussion of consequences which is interesting because donald trump this week has been attacking the Obama Administration for not being clear enough to russia during the election were not going to tolerate this. And this also raises the question of how can you go and try and make the case to Vladimir Putin, listen, i know you interfered in the elections, when just the day earlier you were publicly undermining the Intelligence Communitys conclusions. So, its very difficult for him, for the russians perhaps even to take the president seriously on this matter. And furthermore, as you pointed out, the president has yet to do anything additional as far as additional sanctions or any additional measures against putin for this election meddling. I think this comes down to the president s belief, at least, that election meddling, even if it whether it happened or didnt happen, isnt quite as important as some of the other problems that the u. S. Is facing, and that the u. S. Could tackle with russia. Whether its syria, whether its ukraine. Clearly this president has made a judgment that those issues are more important and hed rather set aside this election meddling and try and work with putin to relationship and tackle some new problems. Rebecca, we would be having, though, to give the president due credit, a different conversation now if the president had not raised election meddling. For most americans, the headline theyre going to read is the president raised election meddling. Thats what you asked him to do. Thats right. The white house set low expectations for this meeting. Their senior officials were telling reporters prior to the meeting, including cnn, that they were not planning on raising this issue with russia. Perhaps donald trump decided on his own on the spur of the moment to raise this issue. Perhaps it was something that was planned. Perhaps they were trying to set up by setting low expectations, certainly, they exceeded them in that regard. But i think the rest of the panel is absolutely right, that this still does not send an unequivocal strong message that the president rejects what russia did or even accepts what russia did. Anyone who has dealt with Vladimir Putin face to face said he responds to power and consequences, not words, not tweets. It is very pro forma at the end of the day, right . Its lets get it out of the way and we have an intractable disagreement. That formulation from the secretary of state has left me puzzled. What youre basically saying, we have a unanimous conclusion of our Intelligence Community that they did this. And we have a warning from the former fbi director that they intend to do it again. We have indications in europe that they are continuing to do it. And then you say we just had a disagreement about whether this happened . I mean that just seems like, as you say, almost a pro forma raising of it and not pushing and saying, we know this happened, we know you did it. You may deny it, we know you did it. Clearly it was a grudging addition to the agenda. Im glad he did it right at the top, but im sure this was not something that he really wanted to have to do. They really wanted to get to other issues. But to the excellent points about the future, look, you want to talk about the future of the bilateral relationship . Syria, ukraine, Even North Korea which all of a sudden russia cares about, it has to start with a challenging this election meddling issue, and to make clear that in 18 and 20 Going Forward, that were going to protect ourselves and our system and there are going to be consequences. Youre absolutely right about putin and kongs kweconsequence. Their history is they will go right up to the line until you slap them back. This was a concrete deliverable at this meeting. Its not the end of the syrian civil war, its a small portion of the country. A lot of sides have been trying for sometime to get a cease fire. I dont know if its going to stick, but there was something of a cease fire agreement that came out of this. How significant, john kirby . Well, its not insignificant. I think its great that theyve done this, but we have to keep it in perspective. A, weve seen these cease fire agreements in the past. I myself have been in the room when they were negotiated. They quickly fall apart because the russians idea of what is a terrorist and what is not a terrorist and who is in opposition and not in opposition dont comport with the rest of the coalition and the United States. So, lets take it for what it is and see where it goes. I think its good that they did it. It is in an area of syria which is closer to jordan which well explain why jordan is involved and will help monitor. Thats also good, but its not an area where a lot of the fighting is going on. Certainly it is not an area where isis is. So, again, i think it is a good start. I think we just call me a little skeptical. Were going to be focusing primarily on the trumpputin interaction. The geometry of this meeting is more complex. Its not the g20. Its not the president going into this leader as a leader of the unified west. What happens tomorrow in the final communique may be as interesting whether there is unanimity on climate and trade. We see the e. U. And japan having a trade agreement. There may be as Much Division between the u. S. And allies as we saw between u. S. And russia. That will be an important piece to watch, almost pro forma hand holding that you usually get at the end of these meetings. Jeremy, ron, john, rebecca, sounds like a bend.

Were learning new details tonight about stepped up russian spying inside the u. S. In the wake of moscows interference in the 2016 president ial election. Cnns Diane Gallagher has the latest. Diane, russian spying not new, but this increase in u. S. Russian espionage is. Reporter yes, which is a cause for concern in some in the Intelligence Community. Current and former officials telling cnn officials they say they noticed the uptick began after the election. As President Trump met face to face with pollutant, they are ramping up intelligence gathering inside the u. S. , with suspected russian Intelligence Officers continuing to enter the country under the guise of other business. In some cases they tried to gain employment at places with sensitive information. They are look fogger other ways to be able to attack the United States should they need to do so. And the most compelling way to do that is basically a cyberattack that would shut down significant american infrastructure. U. S. Officials say russians are feeling emboldened by the lack of significant retaliation for meddling in the 2016 election, from both the obama and trump administrations. Intelligence experts warned that america and its elections remain at risk, even after trump putin denied any interference. This is an assault on us, on our nation, our country. And regardless of party. And we need to get to the bottom of this and figure out what to do to prevent it in the future. For decades, russian intelligence gathering inside the u. S. Has been a constant threat. Before becoming a moscow media star, anna was caught on camera in the usa working undercover for the kremlin. In 2010 she was busted during an fbi probe into ten russian deep cover sleeper agents. Chapman and others were later exchanged in a spy swap with russia. Intelligence sources tell cnn they believe the russians have nearly 150 operatives here, quickly replenishing their ranks. Shuttering two compounds believed to contain sophisticated surveillance equipment. A u. S. Official says russians were seen removing equipment before going home. The compound is a major point of contention between russia and the u. S. U. S. Should not return them under any circumstances i can imagine the russians agreeing to. There ought to be a price to pay and this is a relatively small price to pay. Reporter the fbi and Homeland Security have issued new warnings about the potential of Cyber Attacks on operating systems of plants. This corporation was one of the companies targeted, according to a report in the New York Times. There is no indication in any of the intrusions the systems that control the actual plants have been infiltrated. A joint statement from the fbi and department of Homeland Security said in part there is no indication of a threat to public safety, as any potential impact appears to be limited to administrative and business networks. While the origins of the hackers are being investigated, people familiar with the investigation tell the New York Times the technique seen here mimic those of a russian Hacking Group from five years ago. Reporter now, according to the New York Times, the fbi joint report did not indicate whether the attacks were an attempt at espionage or the paper says part of a larger plan to cause destruction.

Now a cnn exclusive. A rare look inside a key isis stronghold now under siege by u. S. Backed forces. Cnns Senior Correspondent payton walsh is in Northern Syria tonight. Nick, you were the first journalist to get inside the old city of raqqa, the capital of the selfproclaimed islamic state. Describe what you saw. How dangerous is it for u. S. Backed forces . Reporter well, it is extraordinary at this point to see how that wall was broken through by Coalition Air strike a few days ago. If you are hearing music in the background, thats radio interference were getting. But since that hole was punched, frankly, the forces moving their way through, they pushed through about three or four hundred meters into that part of the old city itself. It is pretty intense fighting, but most of that occurs at night because during the daytime isis snipers hold those forces down. Now, we ourselves have heard where these forces have the big advantage, and thats coalition power. If you are near the city at night you hear endless planes flying around. As we currently understand from some of the maps weve seen, theres only oneandahalf miles between the west and the eastern flanks of isis. They havent got much territory left, about three miles in height as well. So theyre now in very dense urban terrain. Weve seen them move through the out skirts of raqqa. In the last three weeks about three or four kilometers. Isis, who are in their final stand here, they may possibly even crumble. But the real road, jim, is what happens to civilians trapped in their midst. Most isis Senior Leadership has already fled, is that your understanding . Reporter the thought is that those left in raqqa are about 2,500 die hard fighters. And that, yes, the majority of the isis leadership has fled down east towards other towns in the east of syria. That makes them a target. Well, theyre on the run as well. But potentially made them staying behind house they had months and weeks to prepare, but they are considered to be cannon fodder at some degree, too. But lets say again the big question people are asking is how many civilians are still in raq raqqa. We simply dont know. Its a lot less than mosul, though. It took eight or nine months to retake because there are so many people trapped. This may go faster. We dont know whats underground, too. Thats another fear, but still progress fast. Nick paton walsh, please stay safe. Thank you very much for watching tonight. Erin Burnett Outfront starts right now. Outfront next, he said he said.
