Program ended. That was in 2011. The seven men and two women all have military experience and are seasoned veterans of space. They will fly in tap seouls developed by spacex and boeing, both companies are slated to launch their missions next year. Nasa ended the Shuttle Program after 135 missions. Since it ended, nasa is paying russia about 70 million per seat to carry astronauts to and from the International Space station. [ music playing [ music playing ] we continue to see a pervasive messaging campaign by russia to try to weaken and divide the united states. In helsinki, i had a great meeting with putin. As i have said consistently, russia attempted to enter fear with the last election. Now were being hindered by the election hoax. The president is taking Decisive Action to defend our
systems from meddling and interferen interference. Well, good morning to you, take a nice deep breath. That includes martin taking in a nice deep breath. Weekend number two, im christi paul. Im martin savidge. We are talking about Secretary Of State mike pompeo met North Koreans foreign minister. They discussed their plan to cooperate apparently on the denuclearization of north korea. Pompeo also tweet thad he had the opportunity to deliver President Trumps reply to kim jonguns letter. Despite the friendly hand shakes and the meetings they say they are in vials of international sanctions. Cnn International Correspondent is live from singapore, ivan watson, what are you hearing
from, its not a summit, its a casual gathering. Still an important setting, nonetheless . Reporter yeah. I mean, this was a gathering of the top diplomats from dozens of countries, martin, kristi. But you have pompeo coming here and i think were going to have a fireworks display here in singapore. You had pompeo coming and the north Korean Foreign minister, they didnt have a bilateral meeting scheduled. Butting is pompeo went out of his way to walk across a crowded room to shake hands, exchange a couple nice words with the north Korean Foreign minister and also make sure a letter from President Trump was handed off to him to then deliver to the north Korean Leader kim jongun. Its a little less than two months ago when trump and kim met her historically for the first time facetoface in singapore, but now pompeo had some tough words for the North Koreans. He was criticizing them, saying
they werent fulfilling kims commitment to disarming his nuclear arsenal, he was urging the other countries that had gathered for the meeting to continue to diplomatically and economically isolate north korea and he singled out russia, accusing russia of breaking the United NationsSanctions Regime around north korea. Take a listen. We have seen reports that russia is planning joint ventures with north korean firms and granting new work permits to guest workers. If these reports prove accurate, then we have every reason to believe they are, that would be in vials of u. N. Security counsel resolution 2375. I want to remind every nation that has supported these resolution, that this is a serious issue and something we will discuss with moscow. Reporter so its very
clearing, even after this sum two months ago, between trump and kim, this is a very complicated relationship between the u. S. And north korea. Martin, christi. No doubt, ivan. So what is north koreas reaction this morning . Reporter well, that was interesting. Because the north Korean Foreign minister, somebody from his delegation, they didnt give a press conference, they didnt talk to journalists, really. But they taped up, quite literally taped up a fivepage english printed statement in the press room where the gathering had taken place, while it had nice comments how the historic diplomatic overtures and openings have been. It had tough criticism, for example, accusing the u. S. Raising its voice louder to maintain the sanctions against the dprk and showing attitude to retreat even from declaring the end of war, a basic and primary step of peace on the korean
peninsula, also accusing the u. S. Of unilateral demands that deny distrust. He was calling for a quote simultaneous actions in fades stems, in whatever this process of denuclearization is going to be. So he also had some tough words for the u. S. And he eastern turned down a formal facetoface meeting with the south Korean Foreign minister who had asked for this when they were having their own kind of nice informal moment at a gala dinner last night. You know, ivan is the epitome of a capable and focused reporter. He never blinked during that during the thank you very much for clarifying that for us. He is smart enough to know we are going to think twharks are those explosions in the background . Ivan watson, always a pro. Well done. Meanwhile, President Trump is waking at his new jersey
resort preparing to do what he best and does well, thats speaking with his base. He is heading to ohio today, days before the state votes in a crucial special election there tuesdays race, key to republican efforts here to maintain control of the house. And a new poll shows why republicans have r so concerned about this a latest Monmouth University poll shows the candidates are neck and neck. That is a swing from over a month ago when the republican lead or the republican candidate are led by ten points. Also a new twist in a russia investigation to tell you ability. Sources say Robert Muellers team say the team interviewed the woman known as the Manhattan Madam. Heres sarah murray with a look at her possible connection to this whole collusion probe. Reporter Kristen Davis the woman known as the Manhattan Mad Arms Meade meeting with special
counsel mule ears team earlier this week. Investigators apparently interested into her ties with roger stone. She and stone have been close fend for a decade. They expressed interest in having davis testify in the garage prosecutors are trying to build a case against stone. Davis lawyers declined to comment. Stone tells cnn Kristen Davis the a longtime friend and associate of mine i am a god father to her twoyearold son. She knows nothingant wikileaks collaboration, clux, or anything which i thought was the subject of this probe. I understand she appeared voluntarily. I am highly confident she will testify truthfully, if called to do. So davis once ran a high end Prostitution Ring and went to jail surrounding then new york governor eliot spitzer. The remorse i feel will always be with me. She has worked with stone
over the years, in late 2016, she joined his payroll. Muellers team has been working out possible impacts twurth 2016 campaign. I follow assanges twitter sheet. I read every interview he gave. You can foreshadow in what hes doing. I am not involved in colusion or conspiracy with anyone else. Versions have been protect stones finance and his personal life. People familiar with the situation say at least two witnesses were asked whether stone was the father of davis son. Earlier this week, stone posted a photo of davis 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 russian collusion and the 2016
election. This week, another former of roger stone andrew miller, yet another indication of how the Special Counsel team seem to be circling around roger stone. Sarah murray, cnn, washington. This is certainly a Tawdry Development as a part of this investigation. Joining me to discuss, a former director at the nixon president ial library and michael moore, former u. S. Attorney for the middle district of georgia. Thank you both for joining us this morning. Tim, let me start with you. So interviewing a former new york madam, Whats Going On here . Where is that leading us . Im not sure where its leading us. But i suspect that this has to do, as mr. Stone has said, himself, this has to do with the special prosecutors interests
A morning newscast featuring breaking news and weather reports. The connection that tim just outlined for us . This is a salacious detail in the investigation. But there is nothing unusual about it. Its not unusual for a prosecutor to when they have a particular heir of interest or person or group of interests to work through contacts to sort of continue to interview their way through to investigate their way through the layers of individuals between them and that group of contact. In this case its people in the Trump Administration. Its a simple example is you may remember there was the blow pop commercial, talking how many licks does it get to the middle of the blow pop. Thats sort of what mueller is doing, working from the outside n. I think what the madam can tell us at the end of the day, what contacts maybe that roger stone had. She apparently was involved in email work, scheduling work. Were there contacts with Julian Assange . Was money transferred back and forth . You know, things leak that. Do you think she will know all of that . We got to the meat of the matter, which were records. And i guess you know michael, same question, how much trouble does it look like manafort is in . You know the reason for showing those things is greed the prosecutor is trying to put up everyday there was greed in the case and also show that manafort knew what was going on. I think the evidence coming this week has been damage against him. Most of what the government has been able do, the special prosecutors team, look, he knew about this. He was directing the book keerps and on what to do. Woo ill they are throwing off on gates, it was manafort in charge of it. Here are the fruits of his labors, his zechlgs thats the purpose of putting this out again. This is a paper case, whether or not he filed cases, whether or not he made income or certain disclosures. At the same, this says, look, the guy is getting this stuff. He knew what was going on. Let me bring in tim, i dont want to jump the gun. Say there is a conviction here, what damage does this do for the
okay. Thats what he said. He calls eight russian hoevenlths sorry we dont have that sound. A former Intelligence Officer is with us and author of the president s book of secrets. First and foremost as a former cia officer, let me ask you, if you were still in that position and this president said this after hearing from leaders, what do you do . I keep doing my job. Thats what you saw from all those officials brought to the white house to talk through what theyre doing about the russian interference and looking forward to future attacks. Theyre doing their jobs. The people i have no doubt are doing their jobs. Lets be honest, there is a real issue for the workers. On the one hand, have you the ateam of the National Security at the white house saying all the things that have been done and will be done to protect this country and all of that can be undone with the professional tweet. Not having the president on
going. Those are three words, mueller, manhattan mad dam doesnt fit. My experience tells me he does not go on wild goose chase, if he is talking to her and considering bringing her to the going, there is a good dam reason for it. Obviously, the other roger stone area you were talking about, that is likely, if she was handling papers or in touch with wikileaks, that is useful. Given the fact that Robert Mueller and the Special Counsel dropped indictments on officers involved in some of this activity. This is the kind of thing he probably knew about long ago, he is just looking for corroboration from someone else. It leads me to think there may be another reason. We have been surprised time and time again by the dimeles coming out of the Special Counsels office. You have to remember the Manhattan Madam admitted to
having Something Like 10,000 clients in and around new york city ten years ago. There were a lot of people in and around the Donald Trump Organization that were in and around new york city ten years ago and Many Russians flying in and out. Its quite possible We Dont Know What Mueller is asking her ability on top of the roernl stone connection. Is there a gaenl of what the u. S. Is doing to try to protect the integrity of the elections . Smr what we are seeing is all heads of the Law Enforcement bureaus coming out saying we are taking these stems. I think chris ray of the fbi announced they have a task force or a Working Group thats going after this. So theres actions being taken. We dont know all details, frankly, thats a good thing, because to the extent we know every detail of where theyre focusing their effortsed a not focusing their efforts. That gives our adversaries a road map as to where they can target their effort. So i hope some of this does stay
quiet. I also hope the president the next time he has all of his leading officials come out to a podium at the white house that he personally comes out to introduce them him then that gives the sense that they have a president ial stamp of approval instead of having Everybdy Wonder whether theyre on the same page as the president or not. Thank you so much for being with us. We appreciate your time. The future in question for hundreds of Migrant Children still in government facilities. Coming up, what Advocacy Groups say is slowing down the reunions of those childrens for filing them. Also the latest on the search this morning for a millsing University Of Iowa student.

Cnn has learned the Justice Department will be repealing the Trump Administration to reinstate the deferred action for Trials Program or as you know it daca. Thousands you remember have protested to keep the arab program going. It protects children from deportation. A judge in washington ruled friday it has to be fully restored. But in a statement, the justice
department said the Justice Department vindicates it in the future. A judge is expected to rule in favor of ending the program. A federal judge is slamming the organization saying the government is completely responsible for reuniting them with their parents here. So the remarks come as Advocacy Groups argue over who is responsible for tracking down their parents. Reporter the Trump Administration telling the aclu essentially we broke it, you fix it. In documents filed ahead of the hearing. They argued the aclu should use its quote considerable resources, networks of law firms, ngos, volunteers and others to find children the government separated from their children and deported without
them, suggesting the aclu required to share weekly updates about their Progress Locateing paints and whether those parents want to be reunited with their children, the government insisted handing over entire case files to the parent. Something the aclu says would help expedite the search. The government shifted the responsible to us, the ngos. Well do it because the government is not. What we need is information that the government may knownant. Any last known address. Something to help us. We are not going to give up. Its not a small pack. In a hearing this week, commander Jonathan White said the parents of more than 500 kids still here may have been deported. Some of those children have been released to sponsors or relatives. But 410 of the separated children with parents no longer in the country remain in government custody. Meanwhile, each week seems to
bring new allegations of the abuse for shelters of Migrant Children. Court records reveal a former Youth Care Worker is accused of molesting eight boys ages 15 to 17 staying at the mesa, Arizona Sheller where he worked between august 2015 and last year. He denies these allegations, on tuesday another man at a childrens shelter in phoenix was arrested on suspicion of molesting a 14yearold Migrant Girl Staying at the facility. Southwest does extensive work to prevent forms of abuse. When these rare situations occur, all staff adhere to our strict protocol. Lets bring in now cnn political commentator ben ferguson and cnn strategic iist maria cardona. Good morning to you both. Let me start with you, this suggestion i guess it was in
court dwoumt documents, so its stronger than that, that the aclu take over reuniting these parents that were se
