Welcome to our viewers here in the United States and all around the world. We are glad you are with us. Im Natalie Allen live in atlanta and cnn newsroom starts right now. We begin with disturbing information coming from a confidential new United States report. It says north korea has not stopped its nuclear and Missile Programs. The report also says pyongyang has been trying to sell weapons to a syrian arms trafficker, yemen Houthi Rebels, libya and sudan. This is an embarrassing blow for President Trump and those in his administration who were optimistic north korean leader
kim jongun would follow through on his pledge to denuclearize, our Paula Hancocks is live in seoul for us. Reporter a confidential United Nations report given friday night has shown the north korean government is evadeing sanctions with elicit shiptoship transfers. It is making transfers of Petroleum Products at sea as well as the sanctions put on its coal exports on march of last year. This is a panel within the u. N. Its made up of independent experts. They give their findings every six months to the Sanctions Committee talking about the progress or lack of with north korea. Certainly, this particular report is fairly damming, saying that there are, quote, increasingly sophisticated Evasion Techniques being used by north korea when it comes to these shiptoship transfers, that they are making sure its not easily recognizable, but these taempgs belong to north
The latest news from around the world. They say it is carrying on. We seen small developments, for example, the return of remains from the korean war to the United Nations command. Weve seen 38 north tracking Satellite Images from north korea suggesting that an Engine Test Site has started to dismantle, one kim jongun promised the president. This reported from a credible source as the United NationsInvestigation Panel is going to raise many questions. Paula hancocks, cnn, seoul. U. S. Secretary of state mike pompeo is at the afterivion mee. Cnn ivan watson is there too, reporting for us. Tell us about the reaction once it was learned about this new report . Reporter well, you know,
mike pompeo the secretary of state, he spoke to journalists in the morning here in singapore before cnn learned about this confidential u. N. Report. So he did not directly address that with reporters. He may do that in the hours to come. But in his comments, he did allude to some of the issues and, in fact, some pretty details in the report that he seemed to be alluding to. For example, the shiptoship transfer of petroleum, thats something that hes singled out. He said he raised with that Southeast Asian nations here, saying theyve got to he ep with trying to make sure that a United NationsSecurity Counsel resolution is blocking this, that they are enforced. So programs he knew about some of the details of this United Nations report he had interesting messages coming here to Singapore Less than twoKristen Davis is a longtime friend and associate of mine. I am the godfather to her twoyearold son. She knows nothing about Russian Collusion, wikileaks, i understand she appeared voluntari voluntarily. I am highly confident she will testify truthfully if called upon to do some davis once ran a high end Prostitution Ring and went to jail as a part of surrounding then new york governor eliot spitzer. The remorse i feel will always business with me. She has worked with stone over the years and in late 2016, she joined his payroll to help him with cleric am tax. Muellers team had been looking into possible contacts between stone and Wikileaks Julian assange. I followed assanges twitter feed, very aciduously. You can foreshadow what he is
doing. I am not involved with the collusion, conspiracy with the russians or anyone else. There is no evidence to the contrary. Reporter investigators have been probing his finances and personal life. People familiar with the situation say at least two witnesses were asked whether stone was actually the fwauts of davis son. Earlier this week, stone posted a photo of david and her child to instagram with this caption. Why do fbi agents dispatched by Robert Mueller keep asking a number of my former associates if i am this babys father . What does this have to do with the Russian Collusion and the 2016 election . Reporter another person was ordered to testify before the mueller grand jury. Yet another indication of how the special counsels team seems to be circling around roernl stone. Sarah murray, cnn, washington. Lets talk more about it with the chief Diplomatic Correspondent for the new york sometimes dig urhlinger. Lets begin right there, developmentings in the Mueller Investigation in the u. S. Now we have it turning to a woman that ran a Prostitution Ring and went to jail. She met with the special counsel. In the world of twists and turns in this investigation, how would you characterize this one . Well, it gets tawdrier and tawdrier, doesnt it . Its like the jaws of justice like being caught in a meat grinder. Obviously, mueller is trying to put pressure on stone. Thats the whole point. Much as hes tried to do with manafort and others. The way he did it with michael cohen. You get them on all kind of issues. Then you promise them unity if theyre willing to testify about what really interests you. But my guess is, that this whole episode, though, obviously, i dont know for sure, is aimed at
convincing stone to talk to mueller about his relationship with julian assange, because stone has obviously you reported him denying any collusion. He did have a wrp assange and there is a suspicion that there was some kind of go between the trump people and julian assange, whos wikileaks was the conduit for the stolen emails from the Democratic National committee. So thats my guess is where it is and where theyre heading. I dont think the activities of a Manhattan Madam are particularly relevant, except the way the to pressure roger stone. Stone, wikileaks, another example of all the tentacles dealing with this investigation him people wonder why its going on the so long. Well, threw go. All right, heres another angle the trial of former Trump Campaign manager paul manafort. They helped him cheat on his taxes. We learned he was in 1 million in debt in Clothing Spring alone from your paper when he volunteered to join the Trump Campaign. Whats the significance at trial we have learned so far, you think . Well, again, it feels leak theyre using issues that never really were dell with criminally in the past. Like lobbying for a foreign nation illegally without registering to get to manafort. Then because manafort isnt, Hasnt Testified For Mueller or mueller hasnt given in, theyve put him on trial for all kind of financial shenanigans. The interesting thing is why manafort went to work for trump . He clearly saw an avenue to get back to the washington Lobbyist Business in a big way, once his
deal with yanukovych in ukraine had kind of fallen apart. So thats why he had so much money troubles, let alone his own lets call it love for very expensive clothes. Well, lets ton to our Breaking News Story that we began with stephen. Lets talk about that new report. Russia is helping him do that and that north korea is building its nuclear program. What happened to the cam raldry the olympics, the meeting at the dmz and the meeting with the u. S. President. Has the world been duped by kim jongun here . Well, north korea has been very good at delaying and delaying. They have done this to everybody and certainly have done it to other administrations. Youve talked to christopher hill, im sure, about what happened when he tried to also negotiate. They did it with george bush. But this is a pattern i mean it
workers. It sounds at least reportedly that that continues with russia. The Missile Program is with the separate u. N. Sanctions but never a part of the american deal, not that we understand it. So there is a long way to go. With north korea, its four stems forward, five stems back. With a missile thrown in. Two a missile thrown in, thank you so much. Always appreciate your insight. Thanks, steven. Thanks. All right a federal judge slammed the u. S. Government for failing to reunite children with their parents after they were separated from them at the border in the first place. Well have the latest on that nightmare. Also my wife and dogs got attacked. They left. I stayed to do what had to be done. A mans battle to brave the California Wildfires in order to protect his home and his
neighbors animals. Cant be located. The government suggested 5d Vocation Groups help search for them. The American Civil Liberties union, the aclu says, its willing to help. If the governments left to their own devices, theyre not going to find the parent or do it quickly. We said we want these children back towing, if there is anyway we can help, we will. We have organized ngos all over the country and the world to help find these parents. All we are asking from the government is give us some information about these parents, so we can find them. Right now we have a name and a country. Some addresses here or there. We dont know if the addresses are accurate. But the aclu says the responsibility should not shift from the government the judge agreed. Because there are still 711 unaccompanied minors in government custody. Parents of more than 500 kids have been deported without them. And Officials Say 4 wipe the of those kids are in custody while 81 have been released to a sponsor. And if children dont get reunited with their parents, most end up with another Family Member or sponsor. Some go into the Foster Care System and they eventually be deported from the United States. Lets talk more about this with angeline chen. I know you have been at the border working on this issue some we have much to discuss here. I want to start with this. More than 500 children are still not reunited with their families. Why arent they . What is the holdup . Reporter we feel that the government is not providing the right information. They dont have the data on where the parents are, where the children are than just classifying the children as
unaccompanied minors. They, we feel that government is just not cooperating. Oh my goodness. So this is a systemish issue then. These are isolated pockets, right . This is a program that has no progra program . Thats right. Again, were not allowed to go into the children detention facilities. We havent seen what its like we heard accounts from children coming out. Its a serious problem. People are incarcerated. This is just not detained. This is like prison. What you said you heard from children, what kind of things are they saying . Twhaps to children who arent reunited . Reporter we have been Hearing Accounts of abuse, of you know not having enough food, being really really cold, not allowing siblings to hug each other. Oh my goodness. Yes, its been awful. What happens if these children dont have family here . They will most likely go into the federal Foster Care System. They will have to go in front of the of an Immigration Judge to represent themselves on asylum and if they dont have an attorney, they are doing this, themselves, even if they are 3yearsold. Thats insanity, isnt it . Now the government is proposing the aclu hand tell reunification. A judge just said thats unacceptable. That is demonstrative of this issue. You have been there. You are a part of a group of moms who are lawyers who have gone to the border to help with these cases. What challenges does that confusion bring to attorneys like new your group on these cases . Well, the judge demands a government to create a plan. We dont know what that will be. We dont know how sincere they will be in implementing a plan. What resources they will put into a plan the people in charge the, we dont know again if they will cooperate with the nonprofit. Its very challenging. So with no clear plan emerging, as you say, what you wnsd on the borders, like theyre incarcerated, are there social workers . You mentioned nonprofits. Are there social workers . Volunteers . Do people have access to try to i mel your rate this amellioraate this . Reporter people do not have assistance to families. At the border we were trying to accompany families to go to the Port Of Entry to illegally apply for asylum. That you were denied. They were made to be put on a wait list, which is illegal. So you know, we were waiting even sevenandahalf hours in front of the border in tijuana, trying to bring in an accompanied minor and they refused us. We waited for sevenandahalf hours. Why in the world were you refused . I dont think people can understand why has this got to be so differently, so hard, so just an uncooperative spirit . Can you make sense of it . I can make sense of it. Were the most powerful country in the world, customs and Border Patrol are saying dhie not have the capacity, that they are maximum capacity. They cant bring any more people in. There is a wait list the wait flis tijuana are a thousand people. There are a thousand people legally waiting to enter to
apply for asylum. They are staying in migrant shelters run by volunteers. Churches and opening their homes and putting bunk beds and beds so that these individuals and families can stay and be safe. Again, dont forget, these people are fleeing affliction, flee eight becausers, traffickers. Now they have to wait in tijuana with this list. After pretty much walking to the border a very long time. Well, we wish there was something more positive to come out of this but right now, there just isnt. But we appreciate your time and you share in your story, we hope you are back with us Again Angeline perhaps will you have more hopeful news that this nightmare is turning a corner somehow. Angeline chin, thank you so much for joining us. Thank you so much. In california, firefighters are battling 17 major fires, but
