ryan young, cnn, st. louis. >> and as ryan mentioned, the case has many people comparing this police shooting to the death of michael brown in ferguson, missouri. during the trial, prosecutors accused stockily of planting a gun to justify the shooting. while the former police officer insisted he acted in self-defense. randi kaye has more on this case. >> you're watching the final moments of a man's life. it's december 2011 and motorists anthony lamar smith is being chased by st. louis police officer jason stockily and his partner. the officers suspected he had been involved in a drug deal. the officers would later say when they approach smith web jumped in his car and drove off, hitting the police cruiser and knocking officer stockily sideways. the officer fires several shots saying he feared for his life and the safety of others. the high speed chased tops 80 prp. during the pursuit, stockily is hearing saying, goent to kill this blank. don't you know it. it's difficult to hear on the dash cam video, but

cnn correspondents are all across puerto rico. leyla santiago has an emotional reunion with her family in corizol. but first, our dr. sanjay gupta reports on the difficulty hospitals face trying to get medicine and supplies. >> we don't have antibiotics to give the patients and we have no place to get them. >> i kept thinking to myself, how difficult can this be? if these life-saving supplies are on the island of puerto rico, what's standing in the way of that happening and can i make it happen myself? the first place i'm going to try are these "d" mat tents. disaster tents. this is what they were asking for. so we've been waiting about 45 minutes now outside the hhs tent. we know they have medications. what we heard is they have to run it up to lines of command, two chains of command, and then they get back to us. but, again, it's been 45 minutes. how are you doing? we're going to go and try somewhere else. we're trying to get to some of these medications because we went to some of the shelters -- you can get some here. >> is the

here's cnn's jeff zeleny. >>reporter: christine and dave, health and human services secretary even hotter water than this was earlier this week. a new revelation of more travel. this time foreign travel, spending some half a million dollars or so traveling to points across the world. le he was already on thin ice with the president. he agreed late thursday to reimburse the government for portions of his travel on private jets. he said he would send a check for some $52,000 for the price of his seat on some of these planes, but not the full cost of the aircraft. we caught up with tom price last night in washington to ask him about his job security. this is what he said. >> the check that you're writing, will that satisfy your bosses and taxpayers' questions? >> i think we've demonstrated good faith effort we've heard the concern and the criticism. and we look forward to the inspector general's report. >> do you plan to stay on the job? >> again, he said absolutely he would hold on to his job but that is not a d

live from cnn world headquarters in the cnn, welcome to our viewers here around the united states and the world. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. i'm george howell. it's 5:00 a.m. on the u.s. east coast. good day around the world. the terror alert in britain is at its highest level, critical. this, after an explosion on board the london tube friday morning. that threat level critical means another incident is not only possible, but it is expected. investigators are working to track down the suspect or suspects before any future attacks can happen. let's go live to london. cnn's nina doss santos follows this investigation. thankfully, no one was killed in this incident. that station has reopened there. but there are a lot of serious questions that investigators are looking into. >> reporter: that's right, george. well, we're less than 48 hours away from the start of the monday morning rush hour commute with people in places like this residential neighborhood will once again have to rely upon the transport network rushing through the doors of this station, perhaps at 8:00:20 in the morn

kaitlin collins, cnn. >> joining me is cnn political commentator john thomas. thanks for being with us. >> great to be here. >> let's talk about president trump at his alabama rally. he talked about a multitude of things and he certainly talked about health care, calling out john mccain for once again standing against this new health care bill that the republicans tried to push through. but john mccain has said in good conscience he can't do that, so what's your response? >> well, look, i understand president trump's frustration. i also understand republicans' frustration. this is obviously the second time that john mccain has put the final nail in the coffin on the repeal and replace. and it's frustrating because the republicans in congress and the senate know that this is a promise that they campaigned on, trump campaigned on, repealing and replacing, they have to deliver this to the american people. what enraged president trump and many of us, myself included as a member of the republican party, is that john mccain is trying to have it body ways. now he won'

cnn's dr. sanjay gupta found that situation unacceptable. >> we're kind of up here, because we don't have iv antibiotics to give to patients, and we have no place to get them. >> i keep thinking to myself how difficult could this be if the life-saving supplies are on the island of puerto rico, why aren't they getting there, what's standing in the way, and could i make it happen myself? >> first thing i'm going to try or the disaster management teams, hhs. this is the federal government. i was with the doctors yesterday, volunteering, this is what they were asking for. >> okay. >> okay. we've been waiting 45 minutes now outside of the hhs tent. we know they have medications. what we heard, they got to run it up two lines of command, two chains of command, then they get back to us. again, it's 45 minutes. how are you doing? we're trying to get some of these medications because we went to some of the shelters. >> you can get some here. >> are there medications here? >> yeah. we have the medication

let's discuss with cnn politics reporter chris cillizza, political analyst karoun demar engine and cnn commentator errol louis. chris, who is happy with the decision? the hash end daca exploding on twitter. you look at his immigration base. that's two people leading it, ann coulter saying technically i wanted him to end it seven months ago, now that we're a day away from courts taking it, i wish he had paused it. steve king saying ending daca can restore the rule of law but delaying it can end amnesty republican suicide. who likes this? >> honestly donald trump. it takes the ball which was very firmly in his court on this because of the attorneys general deadline for september 5th and puts it in congress's court. i know this is being read and understandably so given the threat to end the dreamers program in six months as donald trump ending it. i would say what donald trump is essentially doing is handing it to congress because he doesn't really want to end it. of all the things in this campaign and in his presidency, early days of his presidency, donald trump has been the most thought

let's go live now to cnn's martin savidge. who has traveled even further south and now, yes, you are in key west, what's going on there? >> well, key west was of course the place that everybody knows, and it certainly got the largest population that remained behind. it's been estimated maybe about 8,000 people stayed in the city. the good news is fortunately they did not have heavy damage here. they got serious problems, don't get me wrong, which is why you have this. this is a distribution point that the national guard has set up. it's for residents to drive up and they're basically handed two cases of water and i think they're also getting mres. and this has been supplying a lot of people with just that, food and water for a couple of days. however, there are signs that life is starting to get a little bit better and for that you just sort of swing and look in this direction. that's the puplix grocery store. you can see there are people lined up to get in. i'm not sure exactly whether it's a full stock shelf you're going to

cnn newsroom begins right now. just moments ago, british leaders, police, and intelligence chiefs wrapped up a security meeting on the london terror attack. we know an 18-year-old man is in custody in connection with the underground train blast, and uk police say this is a significant arrest. >> this morning security has been bumped up around the city, though, the subway station is open again, and the uk terror threat still at critical, the highest level, meaning another attack may be imminent. another thing that has increased, the number of people injured. this morning officials telling us 30 people were hurt after a homemade bomb went off on a train. isis is claiming responsibility for the blast, but police are downplaying that claim, saying there's no evidence of its involvement thus far. cnn senior international correspondent is live from london right outside the underground station where this blast took place. nema, i understand, are there raids going on there now? >> reporter: there are, christi. we just lear

cnn meteorologist allison chinchar in the cnn weather center. and i think one of the things, allison, you were talking about is really difficult here is the fact that it's so shallow. we're going to have allison in just a moment. i apologize, we're having an issue, we have a moment we're going to get allison back. but we do want to go to rosa flores because she's there in mexico city where crews are still trying, and you can see them there, to conduct those rescue efforts. they believe there are people under the rubble there. rosa, you felt the quake, is that right? >> reporter: you know, when that earthquake alarm went off just over an hour ago hearts started racing because it was the same alarm that residents here heard on tuesday when that 7.1 deadly earthquake happened. but the difference is that we're days later, rescue efforts are happening and there are people here whose family members are presumed trapped inside the rubble that you see behind me. so you can imagine the worry, the agony of these families. i want to get out of the way so y

officials there told cnn, told you, they're not ready for irma. and it's aftermath. >> reporter: point-blank, saying not only not ready for the storm, we're not ready for the aftermath of the storm. what does that mean? no provisions, water, they've tried to evacuate some people but are having a hard time either because they do not have well-stocked evacuation centers or people refuse to leave. let me tell you what's at rirveg here. more than 100,000 people in low lying areas, that's the storm itself which we continue to feel here, but also higher in the mountains. you're talking about the risk of mud slides and flooding, last year during hurricane matthew, you had entire families swept away from their homes, you know, very basic homes swept away into the sea and that is the fear here today. yes, officials being blunt, they were waiting for help from the government, as of yet, few hours ago, it had not arrived. jake, we are lucky here, we are getting the back end, not a direct hit. if there's any country that could use luck, it's haiti. they're pr

cnn's ian lee is in south korea's capital with the reaction. what's been interesting is the way donald trump has south korea in the midst of all that. how is that being received in seoul? >> yeah, he basically accused president moon of appeasement to north korea. and that derives from early in president moon's administration when he talked softer on north korea, diplomacy, dialogue, wanting to settle their differences that way. but he inherited a different government -- a different atmosphere, a different situation from his predecessor where you had north korea who is defind about their nuclear program. you have donald trump still talking tough. so, we've seen him go from -- president moon go from talking about dialogue to a show of -- a strong show of force. we saw that earlier today when south korea carried out military exercises. they tested ballistic missiles as well as air-to-surface missiles from their f-15s. they said that these tests, these exercises, where to demonstrate they could go after the region of north korea where their nuclear

cnn's ivan watson. >>reporter: the death toll did rise in part because the body of one female victim, an adult woman, unsighed so far, was found at another location. this was on sunday at a school that cnn reported on extensively, which collapsed. her body recovered there, bringing the death toll at that location, the school, to 19 school kids who were victims as well as seven adults. the authorities say that all the children that were there have been completely accounted for. there was a ceremony, a mass, at a church here in mexico city for some of those tragic child victims of that just horrible tragedy. the there is another one here at this location, six-story offic building, get out of the way so you can see the operations taking place here under a bit of a rainfall right now, before 4:00 a.m., where the rescue teams are digging through the rubble of a six-story office building that collapsed, and they say they believe they're more than 40 missing people inside. all throughout this area here, there

in my base, cnn, i've been drilled by cnn, i've been warned, hey, if you do something on your social media account, you're out of here. isn't it the same with her? >> well, obviously, they've reached a different agreement or she would have been let go. i think that they looked at the information. i think they sort of, i don't know, bowed to public pressure, or came out with a statement that was kind of wishy washy, and made it seem like they took her to task. but if you know jamele, she's strong, opinionated sa ed and well-versed on the topics she discusses. so, she's not the kind of person that goes away. i understand it wasn't dinner party conversations. but how far out were those comments that she made. president trump tweeted about mika brzezinski a very rude kind of text. but at the same time, or tweet, it just seems like to me, you know, you get your feelings hurt when someone calls you a name. but when you turn around and exhibit some very poor behavior, then it's okay. it's just all so childish at this point. and it makes absolutely no sense that we are talking about this two

"cnn tonight starts now." >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >>> breaking news. it is not good news for the white house. this is "cnn tonight." i am don lemon. it turns out that private plane problem was just the tip of the iceberg. we're learning tonight that health and human services secretary tom price took two long international flights to africa and asia on government planes. that's in addition to dozens of private flights when he could have flown commercial. price said today he'll cut a check to cover the costs of his seat on those private flights, but not the full cost of chartering the plane. that check in the amount of $51,887.31. perhaps he could have just rounded up? this whole thing couldn't have come at a worse time for the administration as president trump wages war on the nfl while more than 3 million americans in puerto rico are struggling to survive and desperate for help from their own government. the president got the message early on with the hurricanes irma and harvey. so why is his administration so tone deaf when it comes to puerto rico? an

cnn's miguel marquez has the latest. >>reporter: the video seconds long and speaks volumes what was happening inside. in the hallway, a woman sits on a gurney entirely naked. the person who shot the video said the same woman was clothed in a gown when she saw her on monday but had grown so uncomfortably hot on tuesday she stripped or all other clothing seeking relief from the heat. the woman who shot the video did not want to be on camera but wanted others to see the conditions. in the video, her 89-year-old parents, gabrielle geraldo, were hospitalized after being evacuated. libya has since been discharged. gabrielle remains in the hospital with a urinary tract infection his daughter says he got because he was dehydrated. the person who shot the video said thee was at the facility monday and the air-conditioning was off. the video was shot tuesday night hours before the evacuation. it shows her father who suffers with always hiezheimer's. the second floor window open and curtains lifted up to allow as much air as possib

cnn sarah murray joins me live at the white house. we mentioned the pentagon now sending a general to head up the relief effort, what does the white house say about that happening now instead of a week ago? >> well, jake, they're basically saying we heard this from tom bossert, the homeland security advisor that a general wasn't necessary eight days ago to martial. disaster relief efforts in that area. tom made a similar argument about this decision to waive the jones act and loosen the rules for shipping supplies to the island saying they're making this move now, but it wasn't necessary before that. there has been no acknowledgment from this white house that things are moving slowly, no acknowledgment that maybe protocols could have been been going more smoothing up until this point. they have been adamant that the federal government is doing everything it can, it's the severity of the storm as well as the state of the infrastructure in puerto rico that has made this such a difficult effort, but of course, jake, these assurances comi

"cnn tonight" starts now. >>> cnn exclusive. news on the russia investigation. and this is big. this is "cnn tonight." i'm don lemon. thanks for joining us. cnn has learned that government investigators wiretapped former campaign chair paul manafort under secret court orders before and after the election. what were they looking for, and what does it all mean for the mueller investigation? we are digging deep tonight. also "the new york times" reporting tonight that prosecutors told manafort they planned to indict him. that is as president trump makes his u.n. debut surrounded by world leaders who are already worried about the relationship between the u.s. and russia. so it's hard to imagine a worse time for two trump lawyers to be overheard in a popular d.c. steakhouse talking about the russia investigation and documents in a safe. overheard by a surprise "new york times" reporter. aren't lawyers supposed to keep you out of trouble? >>> plus hurricane maria getting stronger. the storm a category 5 with winds 165 miles an hour, making landfall at dominica tonight and taking aim a

cnn has every angle of this story covered. we have ian lee in seoul, south korea, athena jones outside the white house, and barbara starr at the pentagon with more on the possible military options. let's start with athena outside the white house. tell us about president trump's new economic threat. >> reporter: ana, i want to get to that and right away, but first, we just got a readout from the white house of the president's most recent call with japanese prime minister shinzo abe. i want to read to you from it a little bit. the two leaders condemn north korea's continued destabilizing and provocative actions and confirm the two countries' ironclad mutual defense commitments and pledge to continue close cooperation. that word "ironclad" is a word we heard from defense secretary jim mattis as well. the statement goes on to say, we affirm the commitment of the u.s. to defending our homeland, territories, and a lllies using the full range of capabilities at our disposal. the president has sent out several tweets today responding

gum brand. >>> just in to cnn. president trump's personal attorney michael cohen says he expects to appear before the senate intelligence committee this tuesday in the russia probe. joining us now over the phone, crime and justice reporter, two things that i want to know, why is michael cohen important and then one other detail, i notice in a reporting, we don't use the word testify, is he not going to be going under oath? >> that's right. let me take the last part of your question there and that is he's not expected to be there under oath to take an oath, however, you know, lying to congress is still a crime, so he has to be truthful because later on down the line anything he says if it turns out that he lied could potentially, you know, bring perjury charges. michael cohen has been sort of this interesting person to the president. he's a long time associate, long time friend, was involved in the campaign, spoke out, spoke to reporters, was on television, supporting the president and since that time a lot has hap

let's talk it over with cnn's brian staucher host of reliable sources and our cnn senior media correspondent. also with us keith reed now sports business analyst and jack kingston former republican congressman from georgia. you have long time defended this president for some of his controversial remarks. what does he have to gain by attacking the nfl, america's most powerful sports league and picking fights with people like nba steph curry? >> let me say this, i certainly can see both sides of this and i want to talk about the president's side. this is a culture war. this is about people who are nfl fans who actually do believe in god, country, family and, you know, spend $50 to see somebody punt, pass or kick and instead they get their political views mixed in to the game and the people aren't going there to see their political views particularly when they feel those views are unpatriotic. so i think it is a cultural war that the president is talking about. he's on safe ground because so many people are saying, colin kaepernick for example, i think made $14 million last year, which is more

we also have a team of cnn in the area. derek van dam is down there on miami beach dealing with the current situation. the news that we're all going to have to wait for the worst doesn't seem to mean too much, derek, when we're already getting hit with about what can be handled. >> chris, irma is here. we're on ocean drive in miami beach, and conditions here have deteriorated quickly with some of the strongers ban bands movi. look at the signs shaking so k quickly and violently. there's another sign over here that's already been knocked over. i've got to show you this because it's in a protected alley. if this gets picked up by the wind, you can imagine that's a projectile that's going to cause some serious damage. let me take you over here. we have palm trees that have already come down. we've had transformers that have been blowing left, right, and center. the electricity continues to flicker. it's also gone dark and light very quickly with the electricity coming in and out, and the winds have been very extreme. we've had

cnn's nick valencia is there. live from san juan. an economy, 11 years in recession, it is just the worst possible time for a once in a generation hurricane like this. >>reporter: they haven't seen this in nearly 100 years. the the the hurricane phillipe. certainly not many people remember that storm but this one they probably will. this category 4 hurricane that landed on puerto rico still causing communications problems. those that do have power -- they don't have access. those that have electricity are running or generators. the core of that hurricane has passed over but the outer bands continue to affect us. still getting rained on. lightning and thunder were heard in the distance about an hour ago and flooding is also a major issue. it w the gover that was very concerned about that after the storm, worry thad that would lead to potentially more debts. we saw first hand yesterday when we ventured out into the elements, roads were bock blocked. we tried to get out of san juan. if it wasn't for the flooding, it was the downed trees

that guy is hosting a show on cnn. pretty bizarre. shortly after the segment aired and we raised those questions we were contacted by pharmacy and political commentator jeffrey lord. he notices there's a distinct double standard at cnn, to put it mildly to what bell can get away with and the rules imposed on him when he worked at cnn. jeffrey joined us tonight to explain it. coming on. you saw that tape, what was the first thing you thought when you saw that? >> i was asked when the candidate donald trump was here in the area, i was in a holding room while he finished a television interview and i was asked by jared kushner if i would introduce him. i declined because i wasn't sure that that was a good idea -- a good thing to do in terms of cnn standing up there speaking to a rally and introducing a candidate. the next time he appeared here i went to the rally and told cnn ahead of time that i would be there and that i had been asked previously and it's conceivable i could be asked to introduce him now as president-elect of the unitedi

this is reporting tonight from cnn. the surveillance up through this year was reportedly because of his unusual contacts with suspected russia operatives in the russian attack on the election. investigators wiretapped him and including a time known to be talking to president donald trump earlier this year. if this reporting holding up, that means there could be tape of whatever paul manafort and donald trump talked and he was reportedly under surveillance. just monday night. we have also learned tonight that donald trump jr. and kellyanne con way turned down the secret service protection they've been enjoying for months. what does that mean? i have no idea. none at all. that does it for us tonight. we'll see you again tomorrow. now time for "the last word." good evening. >> seems like someone doesn't want the secret service following them around everywhere they go. i don't know. >> you know, i have to imagine that there's all sorts of innocent reasons why you would want more privacy than
