At 5 01 on the u. S. East coast, we continue following the breaking news on the streets of hong kong. Protests continue to play out on the streets there. Welcome to viewers here in the United States and around the world. Im George Howell at cnn World Headquarters in atlanta. Again, these live images that you see in hong kong, these unauthorized rallies that have grown tense and hostile here in the last hour. Huge crowds of protesters are on the streets for the 20th straight weekend, some of them vandalizing shops and subway stations, even setting fires and putting up barricades in the streets. Police are responding with tear gas and water cannon. We are watching this. Our anna coren is in the middle of it all. We have spoken with her earlier. We may be able to bring her in. But, again, she told us last hour when the protesters start moving, thats when police are moving in. Anna coren live on this story. Anna, what are you seeing . Reporter well, george, we have now moved down to where the protesters are. Earlier when we spoke with you we were 200 meters away with the riot police. As you can see, they have set up a makeshift barricade. This is what they do. They have their umbrellas. No doubt they have their petrol bombs ready to throw at police. The water cannon is positioned about 200 we lost anna corens shot. Again, anna in the middle of all of this. This is a live picture. If we can bring anna back in, we will do so and bring you her recording on the ground. This is the 20th straight weekends we have seen these protests. People were upset over an extradition bill. It bill has been withdrawn. Again, that extradition bill would have allowed Mainland China the ability to extradite people from the streets of hong kong. It sparked concerns among them there that they were losing their Civil Liberties. People were on the streets speaking up and demanding Civil Liberties be protected. Again, keeping in mind it is i believe we may be able to bring anna coren abouting i en. We are not. Stateside, the u. S. President , after a late night, a series of tweets, we have a very rare instance of donald trump admitting he is bowing to outside pressure. Our Jeremy Diamond reports. Reporter President Trump will not host next years g7 at his resort near miami, florida after all. Just two days after he trotted out his chief of staff, the decision to host the global gathering of World Leaders a lot one of his own properties and in the face of blistering criticism from democrats, as well as some republicans, the president reversed course. In a tweet late saturday night, the president acknowledged the criticism tweeting while he thought he was, quote, doing something very good for our country, democrats and the media, quote, went crazy. The president tweeting, therefore, based on both media and democrat crazed and irrational hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National doral, miami, as the host for the g7 in 2020. We will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of camp david, immediately. Thank you. It was a rare reversal for the president. It all came after the president was accused of once again profit from his presidency. What went unsaid in the president s tweet was the criticism that he faced for members of his own party as well. Who at a minimum worried about the appearance of impropriety of a president hosting a major world forum at his own forprofit property. The president s reversal came after his chief of staff Mick Mulvaney defended the choice insisting government officials had concluded that the doral property, which is owned by the president was somehow the best option in the entire country. While mulvaney said during that briefing that camp david had previously been a quote miserable place to have the g7, the president on saturday night indicating it was back on the table. Jeremy diamond, cnn, the white house. And now live to our london bureau. Professor of International Politics at City University of london. Good to be with you good to be with you, george. We are seeing the u. S. President , a rare instance where he is reversing course. Usually we see donald trump double down. There is also a triple down. But rarely an aboutface. This is not the first time that questions have come up how mr. Trump might profit during his time in office. Again, this decision seems to have come under a great deal of pressure for him to reconsider. Well, exactly. And i think as the correspondent said, the pressure is coming from several sides. What we seem to be going through now is President Trump not getting the ringing endorsements from gop and the senate and the congress as much as he used to. He is getting a little bit more criticism. That is adding to the broader public worry about the way the president is handling his own presidency. Its interesting that in his tweet he still remains committed to the idea that what he was doing was good for america. And i think that goes to the core of the way in which he sees the american government, the white house and so on. Its a bit like an extension of a private government, the Trump Organization kind of government. And he still sees it as the right thing. But under the pressure which is mounting on a number of different fronts, he is now being forced to reverse course. We know the pressure is building because of the syria decision as well. As we follow the impeachment inquiry as it carries on, we are learning more about shadow diplomacy, that Officials Say was in full effect, centered around personal attorney Rudy Giuliani. As a journalist, i always want to look at these varying perspectives on this. Again, it seems one perspective, the supporters of the president who say Rudy Giuliani did nothing wrong, critics would say this is a clear example of a quid pro quo. Given all the evidence we have seen so far, have we reached a point where there is some aspect of this investigation that is Strong Enough to sway hardened opinions one way or the other . I think it is reaching that point. And its interesting, i was reading a university of maryland poll just released a day or two ago. And it what it shows is not only has there been very large movement right across the spectrum of politics towards an impeachment inquiry and possible impeachment, what it shows is that those voters from any party, any party at all who are paying very close attention to the facts of the telephone call and the facts of all the other inquiries which are going on have shifted position more than those who just follow it on the news. So those who have read the memo about the phone call and so on are beginning to pay more and more attention, including Republican Voters are more prone to a position which says this is a problem for the president and this could lead to a successful impeachment. So i think thats what we need to do. And i think in that regard what we have had up to now and coming in the next week or so as well is a lot of testimonies. But the president has withheld a very large number of documents. So i think theres two things. One is what do the documents say. The second is which outlets are people trusting to put forward a factual, if you like, as possible a picture of what the facts actually were. That is likely to shift depending on the contents of those particular documents themselves. That is a very interesting point. The other part of this, so looking at the president s own party, there are members in the gop, few of them, who will criticize President Trump. But we are seeing more and more of that happening. Tracks in the walls so to speak with Mitch Mcconnell speaking out in an oped about the president s decision in syria. The question here, do republicans start to voice their concerns more and more, or do they continue to compartmentalize any frustrations they have with their standard there . I think we have to see which way the wind police. It goes back to the point i just made. More and more people are paying closer and closer attention. As more facts come out, i think it will shift. Those speaking out feel Strong Enough to be able to voice their concerns, but there are other few. The other side is very few are coming out and saying President Trump is absolutely right, defending him. They are waiting to see which way the wind blows. The wind is blowing more and more strongly of the people questioning President Trump. Gop members will probably wait a while, i would think. They have another year or so until the elections. And i think theres no interest they have in coming out and voicing too many concerns. Even mitt romney and those criticizing President Trump, are still getting attacked from the right. Things are changing, but they will change very slowly. An interesting wind to follow there. Live in london with perspective. Thank you. Thank you. Also in the United Kingdom, the issue of brexit. European union saying it will need a few more days to figure out if the uk is asking for a brexit extension or not. What does it want . Thats the question. Boris johnson sent several be contradictory letters. One was boiler plate language asking for a threemonth extension, along with a cover letter saying it was set to fulfill the legal requirement. Then mr. Johnson followed with another letter asking the eu to turn down the request. And that could land him in hot water with the courts. Live in london as well is our anna stewart. Anna, it gets confusing. The Prime Minister sending one letter to the eu, some point out without his signature. The second contradicting the first. It leaves a lot of people saying, what . Reporter a lot of scratching of heads george. Yesterday was super saturday. Today confused sunday. This appears to comply with the law. It requires an extension until the end of january. Then we have this one. The previous letter is unsigned. This one is. This is much more stamm. It goes many photographs long. Having asked the extension the first letter, this letter says while it is open to European Council to receive the request mandated by parliament or to offer an alternative i have made clear since becoming Prime Minister, my view, and the deposits position, that a further extension would damage the interests of the uk and eu partners, and the relationship between us. There are so many Different Things we can talk about here. Firstly, the eu, it is within their hour to grant this extension. They dont have to do so immediately. It may be wise if they want Boris Johnson to get the deal and get it through to get the decision done. We are expecting that to happen either monday or tuesday this week. You also mentioned the courts. This is something im sure we will be coming back to. Tomorrow a court is sitting in scotland. The second one frustrates the perhaps and perhaps, this is a perhaps, it means he is not implying with the law after all. That is a big legal question. So plenty more happening in parliament. Probably plenty more happening in the courts. And probably plenty more protests as well coming up, george. Anna stewart with the story live in london. Well stay with us. Thank you. The ongoing stalemate energized calls now for a second referendum. That is exactly what attracted a big crowd of people to Central London on saturday. Take a look at the massive crowds that took over the streets there. Organizers believe up to 1 Million People were present. But for some conservative members of parliament, leaving westminster was like running a gauntlet. Gove and leadsom getting an earful here. We have more now on what the protesters say they want. Reporter this march started near hyde park, through Central London, past whitehall, in Parliament Square where members of parliament were meeting is and voting on what would happen in that extraordinary saturday sitting. Organizers think about a Million People came out to march. Now, the police have not confirmed the incomes. They dont give crowd estimates any more. But the streets of london were completely packed. Lots of kids, dogs, silly signs with serious messages. The people want a peoples vote, a second referendum. They want what would be a final say on brexit. Whether in or out, with a deal or without a deal, it is time to bring it up once again. The weather started out nicely. Then the rain came in. It did not deter the crowds that came to talk to hear what they had to say about brexit. They were airing on the large screams on air. Even if the brexit deal were to pass and the uk were to leave october 31st, the protesters say it would not be the end. They see this as just the beginning of a new campaign. They say their kids, their grandkids will continue to campaign through the United Kingdom to be part of the uk. Thank you. We have been following the demonstrations in lebanon. Protesters now get a break on taxes as cracks start to appear in the governing coalition. Cnn is live will in beirut as newsroom continues. Clean carpets and floors. Ep so i got this. Yep, this too.

The kurds blame the turks. At least one u. S. Official said turkishbacked forces are responsible. But the u. S. Defense secretary says the pause in fighting generally seems to be holding. Heres mark esper on saturday. Listen. I think overall it generally seems to be holding. We see a stabilization of the lines, if you will, on the ground. We do get reports of intermittent fires, this and that. It doesnt surprise me necessarily. Thats where we are picking up. Thats what we are seeing so far. Esper qualifying it saying the ceasefire appears to be holding. Jomana is on the border. It comes down to the question generally is this thing effective . Reporter well, see, george, this is the situation with the ceasefires in syria. Its very difficult to monitor, very difficult to enforce. We have seen that historically with ceasefires in that country. In this case specifically, you dont have a neutral force on the ground thats objecting it. You have the secretary of defense saying it is holding for the most part. We have heard this also from turkey. At the same time you have both sides accusing each other of violating the ceasefire. Now, to set the keep in the background behind us is a syrian town where a lot of the fighting during that offensive was focused. And that is where we have heard the reports coming from both sides of breaches in this ceasefire. Now, for the most part here we havent heard much today with, you know, some bursts of gunfire intermittently and some thuds here and there. But it seems overall, as we are hearing from people on the ground, as we are also hearing from the secretary of defense, it is holding. Its not at that point where you can see this ceasefire is collapsing. Turkey is accusing the kurdish fighters of breaching the ceasefire. They said they have a surveillance patrol that came under attack, killing one turkish soldier and wounding another one. The Syrian Democratic forces, that mostly Syrian Kurdish fighting force are calling on the United States to enforce the ceasefire. The ceasefire for the pause in the fighting, as turkey calls it, was to facilitate the withdrawal from the designated safe zone. Turkey says they have until tuesday evening based on the agreement with the United States to withdraw from these areas. Otherwise, take a listen to what president erdogan had to say would happen. Translator if it works, it works. If it doesnt, the minute 120 hours expire, we will continue from where we left and keep crushing the heads of the terrorists. Reporter so the message is very clear from the turkish government, george, saying tuesday evening, if the United States does not deliver on that agreement and the Syrian Kurdish fighters do not withdraw, their operation will resume at that point. Jomana will continue to stay on the story with you, jomana. Thank you. We continue to follow the protests across lebanon. Tens of thousands of people dem traiting they want the current government to resign over the countrys economic crisis. On saturday evening, the finance minister declared no new taxes would be imposed upon citizens. But overnight four ministers resigned
