what is it the people of london are protesting regarding the trump policies or presence in london? >> i think this goes back to a lot of his perceived views on race and on women. it is the same sort of left wing view of his position on immigration. particularly toward muslims. as i was on my way here today, i saw people selling left-wing newspapers along the parade route. i think that is the type of people you will see. we have been promised a carnival. i think it will be colorful alongside the balloon which is a drag queen protest joining the main protest. also something called trumpets for trump. people playing brass instruments at discordant level. it should be colorful and perhaps not bitter. >> sunny summer day. brits getting creative. not unlike the baby brexit balloon. >> no diapers on this fellow. dan stewart from "time" magazine. thank you. >>> it was a very contentious day as embattled fbi agent peter strzok testified before congress. >> i don't appreciate what was originally said being changed. >> i don't give a damn, agent strzok. >> that was one of the more tame parts

there have been mass protests against trump taking place in london. president trump will visit oxfordshire, the birthplace of winston churchill for a black high dinner. he will visit buckinghamshire to theresa may's country estate. for the highly anticipated photo op with queen elizabeth ii he will be at windsor castle. flun of those will take place in london, but they are downplaying the fact saying that president trump is not trying to avoid confronting that's protests. brook. >> sarah westwood, thank you. >>> president trump meantime takes a not so vailed swipe against not just one, but two republican icons slamming george h.w. bush and senator john mccain, and in the same event praising vladimir putin. also hear from the mother who walked out to the e.p.a. -- he has resigned this week. let's get her reaction. , are you okay? even when i was there, i never knew when my symptoms would keep us apart. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira can help get, and keep uc under control when other medications haven't worked well enough. and i

and president trump is set to arrive here in london in less than two weeks. the mayor of the city has said londoners made it clear trump is not welcome. what do the protesters hope to accomplish? i'll ask one of the organizers. also, what in the world are 7500 oil barrels doing in the middle of a pristine park in central london? i'll tell you. but first, here's my take. in recent weeks, you will have heard or read about two seemingly unrelated issues. in new york, mayor bill de blasio has signalled his desire to scrap the highly competitive exams for eight new york public schools. in boston there were new revelations from a lawsuit against harvard university that alleges the university systemically discriminates against asian americans in its administrations process. these come from very different directions. but they represent an assault on one of the foundations of modern society. the meritocracy. they are meritocracy is now under siege. on the right many of donald trump supporters see it as a code word for an out of touch establishment that looks down on h

i'm in london where president trump will be heading here very so soon. in a news conference president trump declared victory over nato allies saying he got them to pay more. think of it, declaring victory over your allies, that's notable in and of itself and number two his claim he earned commitments for more defense spending. it's unclear whether that is true. french president emmanuel macron saying all that nato agreed to was what they put out in a communique overnight saying that what was in place to increase spending by 2024 is still in pla place. a loot going on here. kaitlan collins is still in belgium where the president just departed. kaitlin? >> john, the president making several stunning statements during that last-minute press conference. reporters were rushed into the room after the president sent nato essentially into an emergency session because of the president's comments about nato then he came out to reporters declaring victory saying nato changed a lot over the two days and that the countries involved in nato agreed to up their defense

we spoke to you when president trump was in london. we've talked a lot over the last couple of hours anticipating this meeting what president trump is tweeting that mostly blaming the bad relations on the united states. take us back a little bit. you've been covering u.s./russian presidents and relations for last several years. go back george w bush. >> there's an element of this meeting quite conventional in one sense. in the american presidents since george w. bush with the first really tore have to deal with vladimir putin have long wanted to have a warmer relationship with russia. they've tried. george w. bush looked into his soul. we had the reset from the obama white house. the reason for that is quite sound i think. vladimir putin's hold on power in russia depends on a story he can tell about the relationship with the west. the idea that he the west is out to get russia. only vladimir putin is strong enough to stand up to the west. warmer relations with america, to some extent are a threat to putin's hold on power. that said, an

. >>> there's breaking news out of london right now. just days before she meets with president trump, prime minister theresa may in real trouble as two of her cabinet officials resign, sending the government into turmoil. >>> plus, despite north korea's calling the united states gangster-like, the president says he's confident in kim jong-un. are the nuclear talks, though, are the nuclear talks, though, collapsing? are the nuclear talks, though, collapsing? does your business internet provider promise a lot? let's see who delivers more. comcast business gives you gig-speed in more places. the others don't. we offer up to 6 hours of 4g wireless network backup. everyone else, no way. we let calls from any of your devices come from your business number. them, not so much. we let you keep an eye on your business from anywhere. the others? nope! get internet on our gig-speed network and add voice and tv for $34.90 more per month. call or go on line today. . blah >>> there's breaking news coming into cnn. just days before president trump is s

. >>> president trump is in london after two days of scolding allies for not carrying their weight at the nato summit. he claimed victory after that even though we don't see any proof that anything is any different in a good way because of what he said. but let's get some perspective from someone who knows the president, spends a lot of time with him, and is a confidant and close adviser. he attended the black tie dinner tonight with president trump in the united kingdom, so let's get his take. christopher ruddy, ceo of newsmax, thank you so much for joining us. i know you didn't put that tuxedo on for me. good for you, being at such a big and momentous occasion with the prime minister and the president of the united states and many other somebodies. what was it like in the room? >> chris, i wear a tuxedo every time i go on cnn. you know that. >> demonstrably false. >> actually it was a state dinner, so i did dress up for the state dinner. it was a great night. i would describe it as a love fest between the president of the united states and the british prime minister in terms of thei

president trump has just landed, air force one on the tarmac in london fresh off the nato summit he considers "fantastic" and others, well, don't. in an unscheduled news conference after an unscheduled meeting of two days of public pressure and scolding, the president announced that everyone at nato agreed to substantially up their military spending though it's far from clear whether anyone agreed to spend more than they planned to or even spend it somer. as for a summer that one european diplomat described as beyond belief and german chancellor angela merkel called very intense, the president sees things differently. >> you can ask anybody at that meeting. they're really liking what happened other the last two days, there's a great, great spirit leaving that room. >> in the uk, the president says "they like me." though that claim, too, will very soon be tested and john berman is there in london waiting. john let's start with nato and get into what is ahead with him in the united kingdom. you put it that the president is declaring victory over our allies. what is your read on what played out

reporting from london. >>> just under six weeks since president trump declared north korea is no longer a nuclear threat. the president has been tweeting about how well talks with pyongyang are going, but u.s. official telling cnn that the president has privately fumed about the slow pace of the denuclearization. for the latest, let's bring in will ripley in hong kong. >> reporter: dave, the pace may get slower. this is a dose of reality for president trump about how north korea does business and how they negotiate. we have been saying for a long time the definition of denuclearization may be different between the white house and kim jong-un's house. we are seeing that play out now. the u.s. wants north korea to give up all nuclear weapons. they want full transparency and disclosure of the nuclear facilities done in a matter of months. i spoke with a north korean official who says the north koreans believe they have done enough. they have not conducted nuclear tests and they say they destroyed the nuclear test site. i went there. i don't know if the site was destroy destroyed. there wer

the protest is about trump. this behind me i am sure he'll wear some of it whether he'll care of what they have to say but it is really the message from london. how they feel about the u.s. president, wolf. >> nick peyton walsh on the scene for us. we'll standby with you. another important news that we are following today, of north korea. the meeting was to discuss repatriation of the u.s. soldiers. the north was a no show. let's bring in jim sciutto. it is a big deal, they scheduled a meeting and all of a sudden they did not show up. >> when mike pompeo went to pyongyang he was supposed to meet with kim jong-un and he did not show up. they're supposed to discuss the repatriation today of u.s. soldiers remain of the korean war which something the president claimed a couple of weeks ago to have achieved from these talks. again, still stumbling blocks here and the letter kim jong-un except to him and we should note six days ago, one, in this letter the word denuclearization was not mentioned once and no commitment

spent the afternoon at a belgian music school, listened to classical music, and in london went long bowing and looked at arts and crafts. perhaps never more than this european trip has the juxtaposition of president trump's fiery rhetoric -- >> germany is a captive of russia. >> reporter: -- and melania trump's activities differed so vastly. but this is what first ladies have done throughout history. as their husbands go through the murky waters of foreign politics, the first ladies engage in diplomacy. she talked to is school kids about her "be best" initiative with phillip may, who bought a new suit for the occasion. or quietly observing protocol for her first ever meeting with the queen of england. her husband awkwardly trying to do the same. melania trump is demonstrating her comfort on the world stage, able to sidestep the bombshells set by the president and practice a different kind of diplomacy. we will see melania trump in helsinki tomorrow, she's having tea with the first lady of finland. we'll feel her presence for the last leg of the trip. >> thank you, kate bennett. that

trump parades teresa may. what is your read with america's closest allie? >> i think that was what we called in the media a spectacular user, clearly criticizing one day and completely saying to her whatever you do on brexit is fun with us the interview with the "sun" was very, very embarrassing with the prime minister. she is juggling here. the u.s. president, himself, to come out and say she made that less likely is very difficult for her. i think downie street will have grave concerns, should we say with that counterpart with mr. trump's team and what we saw was a clear rowing back and praising teresa may, saying they will take it. she is well within her rights to do that. in that accepts, in the ends, but that was an unprecedented i think interview in the "sun" in terms of the u.s. president openly criticizing the british council. overall, she would have very much loved to have not had that interview, in the end, it was a bit of upset. >> i want to push forward with teresa may after pressure after a rough week dealing with the brexit. is the burden more

good to be with both of you by the way. >> i know he's over in london, even though he's no longer a trump function fair, over there striking a lot of the statement notes he struck during the presidential campaign, if we could hear what he said in some of those conferences and interviews -- >> let's play it first, here it is. >> i just think it's changing the culture, i think it's a very negative thing for europe. i think it's very negative. i think having -- germany and i have a great relationship with angela merkel, great relationship with germany. i think it's very much our germany and very much other parts of europe. i know it's politically not necessarily correct to say that but i'll say it, and i'll say it loud. and i think they better watch themselves because you are changing culture. >> not just refugees or undocumented immigrants but all immigrants changing the culture. >> he's not just talking about immigrants but immigrants in the way of europe and germany in particular, and about them changing the curl and what the country stands for in the way trump is clearly implying is nega

today, protests erupted in london over the visit. at one point, they worried they would have to pause the march because of the massive size. let's bring in nick peyton wall ch. is the special relationship between england and the u.s. falling apart? >> reporter: it will always be there, but, frankly, he's been on the ground merely 30 hours in london. during that time, he met the queen, experienced british pomp and ceremony. came to central london, insulted the prime minister and tried to apologize. where i'm standsiing in central london, tens of thousands of people were out to repudiate he was here. tens of thousands clogging the streets that would normally be sealed off to allow a sitting president to be wbrought throug. instead, marchers, some going as far as to physically attack a punching dummy to look like donald. it was just getting started. women, dressed as hand maids paired their white caps with white protest signs and anti-trump accept people. it's as close as anything resembling president trump would get to the seat of gove

told to expect small numbers relatively calm, nothing like we have what we have seen in scotland or london the last couple of days. the presidential palace that president trump will meet president putin is over my shoulder here. you're looking at it now. this palace is where the two will meet in about 24 hours' time. one-on-one first. putin and trump together, alone before they bring in other official and the root of concern for some analysts at the moment because they believe president trump would be much better served if he went in with a full level of advisers and officials to flank him to provide the support and the information for him to be able to confront president putin strongly with this evidence. these 12 indictments of these russian military intelligence agents who meddled in the u.s. elections, the national -- the secretary of homeland security says is an attack on american democracy and should not be allowed. >> interestingly, this morning, nic, one other meeting we need to talk about that we just learned about, macron. french's president macron is meeting with putin in a few

trump will be visiting the city. it's about 19 feet and mocks the twitter loving president as an infant with yellow hair and small hands holding a cellphone. of course we will see if the president tweets about the trump balloon there. thank you so much for being with us. for "cnn newsroom," i'm george howell at the cnn center in atlanta. for ow viewers here in the united states "early start" is next in new york. and for others the news continues with my my colleague max foster in london. it's time for the 'lowest prices of the season' on the only bed that adjusts on both sides to your ideal comfort your sleep number setting. and snoring? does your bed do that? don't miss the 4th of july specials, with the last chance for final closeout savings on the queen c2 mattress. now only $599, save $300. it's the lowest price ever. ends sunday. visit sleepnumber.com for a store near you. thanks for the ride-along, captain! i've never been in one of these before, even though geico has been- ohhh. ooh ohh here we go, here we go.
