About 1 in 3 children taken from parents at the border. Some 700 remain in government custody as a Court Ordered deadline to reunite families expired. The group that brought the lawsuit, aclu, disagreeing over eligibility points. The hard work beginning. The government not offering a timeline to track down the parents deported or otherwise n unaccounted for. Here is tal kopan. Reporter the deadline has come and gone and we have new numbers on how many of those were reunited on time. The government last night gave us an update that roughly 1,400 of the families were eligible and reunited by thursday evening. They said another almost 400 of those children that they identified were released from health and Human Services custody. They did not specify if those were to a parent or some who went to families or friends in the country. That leaves about 700 children who were not reunited with a parent by the court deadline. That breaks down mostly with parents who are actually no longer in the country. Presumably deported. There are parents they say declined to be reunified and those with criminal or safety issues in the background process. We will have a hearing before the judge this afternoon. We will get to hear what the judge thinks if the deadline was met. The government says it fulfilled its obligations ins terms in terms of what it could do. The aclu says they did not meet the deadline. They argue many parents who were declared ineligible are eligible. The government created a situation where they could not be reunited on time.

President trump threatening quote large sanctions against turkey unless the nato ally releases a pastor under arrest. Turkey suspects Andew Brunson in the 2016 coup attempt. Now word that turkey did not follow through with an agreement. We have Jomana Karadsheh with more on the case from istanbul. Reporter christine, relationship with the United States and turkey has been strained for a few years now and the issue of pastor Andew Brunson has been one of the key issues at the heart of all of this and there were signs in recent weeks that relations may be improving. You see movement on several other fronts with the United States going ahead with the delivery of the f35 fighter jets despite congress objections to that. Also the pentagon and Turkey Military with a road map on northern syria. Another contentious issue. There were signs that Andew Brunson may be released. We also saw senator Lindsey Graham who visited this month saying he was optimistic with this after meeting with president erdogan as he was trying to resolve this. We know President Trump spoke to erdogan at the nato summit earlier this month. We are learning new details according to reports confirmed by israeli officials. A deal was agreed upon by the United States, turkey and israel which were involved with the release of Andew Brunson. President trump spoke to the israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on july 14th asking him to release a turkish woman detained by israel on terrorism charges. Accused of supporting or being a smuggler for hamas. The woman was deported to turkey the following day. On july 18th, the trial of Andew Brunson resumed here in turkey. While there was expectation to see him being released, he was not released. A few days later court released him from prison into house arrest. Something enraged u. S. Officials as turkey has backed down from its end of the bargain here. Extraordinary developments. One nato country threatening another with sanctions and backing president erdely ogan i corner. This doesnt go well for president erdogan. Jomana, we are learning about this because the United States stopped the readouts with the foreign leaders. We are not getting word from the u. S. Officials here with the deal with president erdogan. This is coming from israeli sources. Reporter that is indeed coming from israeli sources, christine. Reports earlier today israeli officials confirming this to our colleagues in jerusalem. You had several phone calls between President Trump and president erdogan. We only heard few lines about this from turkey officials without going into the details of what was discussed. You are not hearing it from the United States which is also quite worrying. Jomana karadsheh, thank you. Reporting from istanbul. So much for transparency in the biggest democracy in the world. That has been closing for some time. Ahead, denials were everywhere, but now Michael Cohen is ready to talk about donald trump who knew about the trump tower meeting with the russian lawyer during the campaign.

President trump threatening quote large sanctions against turkey unless the national owe ally releases a pastor under house arrest. Andew brunson involved in a 2016 coup attempt. Now word turkey did not follow through on a deal to set brunson free. Joining us from istanbul is Jomana Karadsheh. Jomana, good morning. A lot of attention on this as Vice President pence is stating be prepared for the consequences if not the return. Why the added focus on this now . Reporter well, you know, dave, the relations with the United States and turkey have been strained for a few years now and the imprisonment of pastor Andew Brunson was one of the key issues at the heart of all of this. The u. S. Officials have been pushing turkey for his release. Saying there were no credible charges against him and there were only some eyewitnesses who were secret used in court. In recent weeks, we have seen signs that perhaps the relationship with the two countries was on the road to improvement. Finally the United States delivered f35 fighter jets to turkey despite congress trying to block that deal. They also agreed on a road map on contentious issue in northern syr syria. Then you had a visit from senator Lindsey Graham who left turkey who was saying Andew Brunson would be released. Then the turkey president was trying to find a way out of all of this after he left. The details we are learning this morning according to reports confirmed by israeli officials is there was a deal for release of pastor brunson and it involved israel in a phone call with President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of israel on july 14th. The american president asked israel to release a turkey woman held on terrorism charges with links to hamas. Saying this would help in the release of brunson. Israel deported her to turkey a day later. Brunson was not released. It seems turkey did not fulfill its end of the deal. A couple of days after the Court Session on july 18th, he was moved to house arrest. Something that enraged u. S. Officials and released the barrage of threats of sanctioning a fellow nato country. Cornering president erdogan, he doesnt react well. Dave. Jomana karadsheh live for us this morning in istanbul. Lets get a check of cnn money.
