Venezuela is in the middle of a deep financial crisis. The International Monetary fund said inflation will reach 1 million percent this year. Blackouts and shortages of basic items are common place. Cnn atlanta. What does this apparent attack tell us about the political and economic turmoil effecting venezuela . We posed that question to jennifer mccoy. A professor at Georgia State university and the coauthor of the Book International mediation in venezuela. Theres a great deal of unrest in venezuela and a lot of dissatisfaction apparently among military ranks. The government has been arresting and removing Military Personnel from the ranks
The latest news from around the world. Yet. There were funerals of those killed. The president elect said he welcomes the opposition taking their dispute to the courts here in zimbabwe but the growing cause in the region and continent for the opposition and leader to concede defeat. But so far, this dispute continues leaving this country in a potentially difficult limbo as it tries to move beyond years of economic stagnation. Sources close to the white house tell cnn that President Trump is worried his children will get called up in the Russia Investigation Lead by special counsel Robert Mueller. Mr. Trump is said to be especially concerned about his son don jr. Although the president s attorney denied that in a statement to cnn. Mueller has been looking into the meeting at trump tower that don jr. Held with a group of russians during the campaign. If don jr. Was lying when he told Con Depress Underoath that his father did not know about the meeting at the time, he could be charged with with a crime. The political clout of u. S. President trump is about to be tested. On tuesday, voters in ohio go to the polls for a special election. The president is using his star power to energize his supporters hoping it will be enough to send troy to congress. The district normally favors republicans but democratic challenger Danny Oconnor surged in the polls and is now statistically even. If he loses it could foreshadow aan electoral backlash in the Midterm Election which is are three months away. The president addressed that possibility with disdain and insults. Theyre talking about this blue wave. I dont think so. I dont think so. Maxine waters is leading the charge maxine. Shes a real beauty. Maxine. A seriously low iq person. Seriously. Maxine waters. Maxine waters, a democrat. Well, the president also addr s addressed election meddling but declined to single out russia. We have to stop it. We have to stop meddling. We have to stop everybody from attacking us. But there are a lot. Russia is there, chinas there. Were doing well with north korea but theyre probably there. We have to stop everybody. Lets talk more about it with the chief Diplomatic Correspondent from the new york times. He joins us from brussels. We appreciate you being with us. Lets begin there with the rally
in the state of ohio. This is the final special election. A congressional battle between a republican and democrat. The vote is tuesday prior to the midterms. How critical is this outcome for mr. Trump . Well, for us its critical. I think momentum is what were talking about. If the republicans lose this seat which is possible, it would indicate that mr. Trump has not only been energizing his base but has been energizing the opposition to him also because the Democratic Party is always arguing with itself. But the fact is there are a lot of people out there who will campaign and will vote against mr. Trump as well as his base that fights enthusiastically for him. He is someone that lives on division and creates division and it could be that in the
midterms his party is cursed by that kind of division. But we have to see. Yes. He continues to blast the media during his rally. Was the attack on the News Industry his war, if you will, on the media, do you think that could help him or hurt him in the november midterms . Some of these are like trumps greatest hits. The way he goes after Maxine Waters and Hillary Clinton, these are buttons that he presses that he knows excites his supporters and the media is a very good target for him. We are, you know, he likes to use us as i keep saying as puppets in his little show. I do think, you know, it has certainly helped us as a newspaper. Its helped you as a network with more viewers. Again, the country has become so polarized that people are much
they were three or four years ago. What worries me is i dont think he actually in his heart of hearts means it. Thats left to be said but enemies of the people, thats a dangerous phrase and im worried that hes going to get somebody killed. He is having fun and may not be thinking of the consequences. When his daughter was out this week does she think the media is the enemy of the state. She said no. Thats right. And then his press secretary, you know was dodging it. I dont think she thinks so but rather than say so which would have annoyed her boss. She said i speak for him and you know what his words are. And what he actually believes
inside himself, this is a man that has an outer person and inner person both arranged differently but they dont always agree with one another. Right. Lets talk about the investigation. Sources close to the white house tell cnn the president is growing concern that the Russia Investigation is getting close to his son don jr. , about that meeting at trump tower during the election with some russians and perhaps getting close to his soninlaw Jared Kushner and that may be what is behind his increasing public frenzied agitation over Robert Mueller. He continues to relent leslie attack the investigation. What do you think about that report about hill being concerned about his family. I think hes right to be concerned. I think hes right to be concerned. Donald trump junior is on the record in an email asking for more dirt on Hillary Clinton
from this meeting with russians. Thats why he took the meeting. And so this, you know, makes him vulnerable, particularly if he lied to congress about it. I dont think anyone is is going to get him for perjury particularly but he is an instrument that mueller is looking at trying to decide whether there was real conspiracy, collusion, between the Trump Campaign and russia because the Trump Campaign was clearly looking for dirt on Hillary Clinton and these socalled representatives of russia seem to be offering it. So thats what mueller is looking into and i think the president is right to be concerned that this investigation will touch his son. I also want to ask you, steven, why is there such a back and forth about whether mr. Trump will sit down with
muellers team. Well, his lawyers would like him not to. But President Trump as we know is full of selfconfidence. He believes he can get into a room with anyone, whether its kim jong un or its the president of iran or Vladimir Putin and win the day through his personal negotiating skill. So partly, i think he just, you know, wants a conversation with Robert Mueller because thats who trump is. But i think his lawyers will probably restrain him, maybe hell answer questions, written questions that theyll be able to vet but, you know, the president does, as we know, what he pretty much wants to do. He wanted to beat Vladimir Putin and his aids thought it would go away and he didnt so he met Vladimir Putin. If he really wants to do a face
to face interview with mueller thats what he wants to do but his lawyers will encourage him not to do that. We always appreciate your insight. Thanks for giving us the time. Thanks, natalie. Well, speaking of Vladimir Putin, how about this one, American Martial Arts Actor steven segal became a russian citizen a couple of years ago and now the kremlin is awarding him. Seagal has become a special representative to promote russia and u. S. Relations. He is a close friend of the russian president. A small Minority Group gathers.

Oren joins me from jerusalem. Was this expected or some what of a surprise . The druze anger has been building since the law was passed and its important to understand what theyre angry about. The druze, a minority numbering less than 150,000 werent angry about the fact that this makes israel the nation state of the people. They support that. Theyre angry that the law fails to mention equality or democracy or minority rights. Thats what they would like to see added here and its the lack of the word equality that leads them to say this law makes them feel like second class citizens. This protest had been planned. Benjamin netanyahu had been meeting to workout some sort of
compromise. It looked like he a historic compromise but that fell apart when the meetings between netanyahu and the druze fell apart angrily. That lead into this protest where you see Tens Of Thousands of people in the central square. Two flags there you see. One the israeli flag and the second that multicolored druze flag. They lead this protest but they werent the only speakers. In fact, the israeli mayor spoke and before this law was passed they were both jewish and democratic. All israel citizens are not treating he equally. That gets at the anger of this law. The question now is what happens next . Dru e leaders said there could be a special law passed but Israels Parliament isnt in session so any solution is on hold as anger over this law
builds. Well see if there was more protests planned but this was an he enormous one. Are they getting supports from others . They very much are. That protest was not only druze. Would have been more than half the druze population in israel. Others see it as discriminatory. It treats others as second class citizens. I mentioned the mayor of telaviv. He called for a solution to make them feel whole again. Acknowledge what they contributed and not only the druze, but other Israeli Citizens and there are a number of different groups there so they were all part of that anger over the law and well see what kind of fix some of the politicians can work around or does this anger continue to grow here. All right. Youll be watching it for us. As always, thank you. More than 700 firefighters are battling a forest fire in southern portugal. Two villages were evacuated when flames erupted saturday and ten water carrying aircraft were deployed. The peninsula has been experiencing near record high temperatures. An extreme heat wave is stifling much of europe bringing drought and fires. And Western Europe remains in the grip of the heat wave with more records being set. Were going to talk about hawaii as well. Something interesting going on there with Hurricane Hector but it was only a matter of time before portugal took fire here as a result of very dry conditions. Basically whats occurring in california on a much, much smaller scale and were hoping to avoid the calamity that was 2017 when we lost upwards of 100 people here as a result of the fires. So the government issued 700 plus Now Fire Personnel as natalie mentioned. 10 aircraft are dropping Fire Retardant on these fires here. 1,000 hectares have been burned as a result. The temperatures are not helping out. Its well into the 100s. Curtesy of this area of High Pressure which will begin to move and the dry air will go away. Well get into much cooler temperatures here. Youll be able to see what im talking about here. See the Cloud Cover North and west . Thats the milder air and rainfall from Northern Europe coming in but as you can see its still a ways away so tuesday and into wednesday before we can get into the noticeably cooler air. So for now, mid 40s. 113 degrees in portugal. This is where theyre fighting fires and dealing with these temperatures where they should be, well, they should be in The 20s And Lower 30s or 70s and 80 degrees. Temperatures similar to where they have been the last few days. This afternoon well continue to see this and one more day tomorrow before we begin to cool off. By the way, the rest of europe is doing okay thank you as far as the temperatures. Its not cool but its seasonal with temperatures in the 20s and the lower 30s but well get rid of extreme heat as that begins to push in and by the way as the cooler air ushers in from the atlanta it will bump the high east so the hot air not experienced across Central Europe will be on the way so here we go. Look at that. One more day in the 30s. 40s today. 30s tomorrow and then the rest of the week will be in the 20s and it will be the other way around across berlin where temperatures here will be in the 20s and will begin to climb into the 30s by later on this week. This is a cat 4 right now. Its 130 miles per hour. Get perspective here because otherwise where is this thing . Well its 1,300 miles away from
the big island of hawaii. This looks to be a mover here to the west for the next few days. Its not going to have Much Movement latitude wise north or south so its got to go in a westerly direction. Two things to watch with this forecast here. One the system will be weakening as it moves toward the west. So were going down categories as opposed to the other way around and also the cone is just to the south of the big island. The problem with that is forecast areas are huge natalie by the time we get into wednesday here. So it shifts a little bit to the north. We could be seeing direct impacts from hector. And by the way, the rainfall associated with it will also mix in with the volcano. Because thats where it is. That is also not going to be good. Well watch that closely and we have plenty of time to do so. They don deserve to have a double whammy. Thank you. Coming up here, sharp divisions
within the democrats. Factions within the party are arguing about how to pest handle novembers Midterm Elections. The different strategies. Coming up here on cnn newsroom.

Hawaiian officials are urging people to prepare Emergency Kits as Hurricane Hector gets closer. The storm is strengthening. Its now reached category 4 and is expected to hit hawaii on sunday. Sources tell cnn that u. S. President donald trump is worried his son don jr. Will get caught up in the Russia Investigation. If don jr. Lied to congress about what he knows, he could face criminal charges. The president s attorney Rudy Giuliani denies anyone at the white house is worried. In the u. S. The Midterm Elections are just three months away. Both democrats and republicans are struggling to find a winning strategy. The democrats are split. Should their Candidates Push for
impeachment of the president or favor a more moderate message . Miguel reports from new orleans where Many Democrats gathered this weekend. The yearly gathering. I think he is a threat to the United States and our people and our democracy. One star of the show, tom that spent millions urging the impeachment of donald j. Trump. Why Hasnt Congress started impeachment proceedings. All the Immigration Talk worries mainstream establishment democrats. Running a campaign by having an Impeachment Vote when we could have spending that time and energy revealing to the American People how corrupt this administration is. I dont think that thats a productive way to go right now. The fear, talking impeachment before the special counsels investigation is complete could turn off independents and moderates ahead of the midterms and beyond. Is there any concern that that fissure between the far left and the center is going to hurt candidates in november and possibly the president ial contenders in 2020 . I dont think we should be quite so clever about pollsters and i think that the political establishment in washington d. C. Should get back to much simpler questions which is are we telling the truth about the most important things in america . Are we standing up for the American People . Potential 2020 contenders making their way. Senators elizabeth warren, and pamela harris. Voting and supporting him for
governor is the right thing to do. And Alexandria Cortez that upset an establishment democrat in her primary and is stomping for progressives nationwide. We dont believe the way forward and the way to win for progressives and democrats is to go moderate. We want candidates that are bold that are visionary and speak to the people. Now mainstream and the Republican National committee called net roots a far Left Progressive movement thats become a key force in moving the Democratic Party further left. Do you think the Democratic Party has moved to the left or is this just more open these days . I do think its moving more and more left. I dont think progressivism or liberalism is a far out idea anymore. The elections are november 6th. North korea is pushing back against u. S. Diplomacy. U. S. Secretary of state mike pompeo shared a handshake with his north korean counter part in singapore but he now says washington is going back on its word to declare an end to the korean war and he criticized the u. S. For not moving to end sanctions. He said that was not what President Trump intended when he met with North Korean Kim jong un and promised good will measures including a moretorium on nuclear tests. A 7th day of large Student Protests unfolded saturday. Students are demanding safer roads and a crack down on unlicensed drivers and unregistered vehicles after a deadly incident a week ago. Traffic brought to a halt. Hundreds of cars set on fire and dozens of people injured. A Student Protest that began peacefully 7 days ago in the bangladeshi capital is spreading across the country triggered by the death of two teenagers run down by a speeding bus. We have been protesting on the roads for a few days with demands. Were demanding justice for those students killed by a bus and we want safe roads. It was a privately owned bus that plowed them them on sunday. The state run News Agency Reports that the driver had been arrested wednesday but Tens Of Thousands of students are demanding a crack down on Traffic Safety in a country where more than 4,000 people die in Road Accidents each year. One of the highest rates a cording to the world bank. Blocking intersections in bangladeshs largest city videos show school kids chanting for justice. Some simply hold up placards. One reading our Transport System equals serial killer. Others demanding to see the drivers certification. Unlicensed bus drivers are reportedly a common problem in bangladesh. Anger toward them became more heated as the protesting continued. I continue to stop our buses running as students a tacked and damaged our vehicles. We cannot go on the road. No vehicles could move. According to bangladeshs state run news agency the countrys Education Minister told protestors saturday that their demands were accepted and the government would be working to bring discipline to the countrys transportation but the outraged students show little sign of swapping. A city of more than 10 million. Cnn. 11 of the boys rescued in thailand from a dark flooded
cave last month are honoring the man that saved them and the one that died trying. The boys age 11 to 16 and their soccer coach participated in a traditional buddhist ceremony in memory of a former thai navy s. E. A. L. The boy spent nine days training. The 12th Rescue Boy is a christian and was not ordained. The ms13 gang has the attention of donald trump. He said they are animals and that they are a danger to the entire country of the United States. Well see how far their reach really goes coming up next in a special report. Part of his Law And Order platform. Mr. Trump zeroed in on this gang made up largely of immigrants from Central America. It is not the largest gang in the u. S. And it isnt just made up of undocumented immigrants. That said without a doubt, ms13 is extremely violent and it poses a serious threat. Cnn has our story. Her life was taken, stolen from her. Its not right. She had dreams, she had goals, she had a future. Just 16 years old. A talented athlete nicknamed the bullet. They named her the bullet because she was so quick. And sadly unable to escape the violence just outside her door. Kayla and her best friend savagely murdered just blocks from home september 13th, 2016. This is where it happened. She was found right here. Attacked with Baseball Bats and a Machete Investigators say. Victims of the gang better known as ms13. I miss her every second of the day. Ms13 is one of the most violent street gangs in the United States. Federal and local officials agreed. Designated a Transnational Criminal Organization with roots in Central America more than 30,000 members worldwide. Up to 10,000 in the u. S. And as many as 1,000 on Long Island Alo alone. We have about 500 identified members here. Out of that 500 we have 215 active. How do you identify who is active . Selfadmitting. Theyll be all tattooed up. They do the signs. When they get arrested, are you a Gang Affiliate . Yeah im ms13. Whats the mo . Kill, rape, control. Ruling by fear, victims are often young. Local Law Enforcement says the gang first came on their radar in 2010 but they started to see an up tick in Gang Violence in 2013. Thats when leaders of ms13 in el salvador made an effort to grow and establish new branches of the gang in different pockets of the u. S. Including the affluent suburbs of New York City and long island. Why new york is the question. And the answer is that in Suffolk County at least theres a large salvadorian population. Theres also a Record Number of Unaccompanied Minors coming to Suffolk County during that time. Since 2014 the u. S. Government placed more than 9,000 Unaccompanied Minors. Undocumented children and teenagers that crossed into the us. Without parents and guardian with sponsors in long island communities. Many dont speak english. They dont have money in their pocket. Their parents arent with them. Theyre seeking a sense of belonging and ms13 says we can provide that but if you tonight join the gang, this is what is going to happen to you and you know, what we know where your family lives. You wouldnt believe how bad these people are. These are people. These are animals. Is the Immigration Rhetoric that were hearing from the Current Administration in d. C. Helping or hurting your efforts . Certainly the administrations focus on ms13 is helpful. Both in terms of awareness, resources, and driving the mission. But i think it is also very clear that we need to be sending a message to the immigrant population. The immigrant Kmuncommunities T we stand with them. You dont feel like your
community is being used as a political pawn in anyway. As a Police Commissioner i stay out of politics. My job is to serve and protect all the people. It doesnt matter your political affiliation or color of your skin, it doesnt matter to me. Rodriguez says she is grateful for the support of the president and new yorks governor that recently allocated more than 18 million for Gang Violence intervention and Prevention Programs and she wants to be part of the solution to a safer community, whatever it takes to prevent another familys pain. I just want them to stop what theyre doing. Youre hurting Family Members, loved ones. And the end result, youre hu hurting yourself. Renee marsh has our exclusive report. A new personal tsa document cnn exclusively obtained shows the proposal to eliminate screening at more than 150 small to medium sized airports is just one of several cost saving measures the agency is discussing. A senior tsa employee tells cnn the agency is looking at cuts that could save more than 300 million in 2020. One cut reducing the number of air marshals. Eliminating screens at small airports, Staffing Cuts at Tsa Headquaters and changing to benefits are also being discussed. Tsa did not comment. A former official with the department of Homeland Security under obama is concerned. Ending security at certain airports and ending or flat lining the air Marshall Service are inconsistent. If youre going to decrease
security what you would want to do is increase the he presence of air marshals or other security features just in case. Cnn revealed the most controversial cut. Eliminating screening at small airports like this one in redding, california where Bryant Garrett is the manager. Since i dont want to take on the liability nor the cost and im quite certain the airlines dont want to take that on. So if tsa backs out theres a void and i dont know who would fill it. Air marshals are the last line of defense. Armed agents aboard planes to prevent hijackings. Critics questioned its effectiveness but the tsa defended the program as a deturrent. The big question that congress and the American Public is asking and would like
explained is whether theyre being considered because the threat and risk to aviation has changed or is this an indication that the agency is under extreme pressure to cut cost. An Vierenvironmental Story F you. The grieving process of a mother orca is taking her on an endless journey. How it mirrors the Endangered Species fight to survive. For hundreds of kilobymeters over ten days a mother orca cant let go carrying her Lifeless Calf through the waters of the pacific northwest. Mourning her babys death in the sad portrayal of the struggle for survival. This population has seen its numbers reduced dramatically over the years and its something that maybe theyre very aware of. Theyre losing Family Members and they havent had a successful calf in three years. Marine biologist spoke to cnn
by phone near where he and a team have been watching the mother known as j35 at a distance for days now. His team keeps an eye on her health and warns other boats away from her location trying to mitigate risk to the pod. After 17 months of gestation her calf was only alive for a matter of minutes before it died more than a week ago. Since then she has been arching her back pushing her dead offspring along the surface of the water with her forehead or finns or carrying it along by clutching its tail in her mouth. Whales and other animals know death as old age or a trauma related injury or being eaten by something. Maybe they dont understand these outside pressures and effects that are causing them to die. They dont understand it because its not their fault. Its this outside pressure, that is us, that is humans. They often suffer from malnutrition. Largely from man made contamination and overfishing of their main food source salmon as well as Noise Pollution from boating traffic. Sound is how they find food and communication. A recent recording from Washingtons Whale Museum captures the grieving mother using calls and whistles to talk with her pod. Likely foraging for much needed nourishment, fighting for their kind after the death of another calf. Experts say orcas have carried dead Family Members in the past but the length of time j35 has been pushing her Lifeless Calf is unprecedented. A sign she may be experiencing difficult and complex emotions not so unlike our own. Its just a heartbreaking story but i think that people can relate to these whales in a
multitude of ways and theyre now showing us that they have this extreme grief and strong ties to family and i think that people can see that. It pulls at your heart strings. So very sad. We want to update you on a story we told you about yesterday. After backlash, the museum in washington has dropped that shirt right there, the fake news tshirts it was selling in his gift shop. The organization said it was a mistake to carry the item. The museum is dedicated to journalism and the first amendment. Finally here, one man is adding some horsepower to his new ride sharing opposition. Check it out. He calls it amish, uber and it has four wheels, four lesson and good gas mileage. For 5 the driver will take you on horse and buggy to anywhere in michigan. Unlike uber you cant use a cell phone. Youll have to flag him down to let a ride. Ill be right back with another hour of cnn newsroom. Please stay with us. And kissed them all soundly. Lights out. Good night. Child, voiceover and put them to bed. Hunger is a story we can end. End it at feedingamerica. Org. Im a small business, but i have. Big dreams. And big plans. So how do i make the efforts of 8 employees. Feel like 50 . How can i share new plans virtually
