that conversation did drift to huntsman. trump and putin apparently did not discuss possible new names to replace huntsman. they just discussed the need to replace him, and this could be interpreted, victor, and christi as an effort for president trump to warm relations between putin and russia. the white house in the readout also said the two discussed a trade relationship between the u.s. and russia. >> sarah westwood, appreciate it, thank you. >>> beijing is watching, also sending out a warning. the antigovernment pro democracy march started a few hours ago while pro-police demonstrators held a competing rally. >> this is the 9th weekend of protests and you have seen that the tensions are running high, the unrest continuing there in hong kong. sometimes it gets down right scary. >> let's go live now to cnn's senior international correspondent ivan watson in hong kong. ivan, the sun is going down there, a little after 7:00 p.m. what are you seeing from the protesters? >> well, we see a large number of predominantly young p

. >>> usa ambassador to russia john huntsman is resigning after serving for two years. he left the utah governor's office in 2009 one former president obama tapped him as ambassador to china, then president trump named him as ambassador to russia. huntsman will serve through october 3, he did not say why his stepping down, but there is speculation he may run for utah governor once again. >>> a business with ties to stanford is one of three who won a breakthrough prize in fundamental cynics. daniel stanford at mit is seen on the right and he will share a $3 million award with two of his peers for their 1976 theory of super gravity. the 2020 laureates will be honored in a ceremony november 3 at nasa's hangar one in mountain view. >>> it's a staple at, but a new warning about the popular brown balls in a chemical that can lead to cancer. >> it makes me want to bring this space back to life. >> he sees aging basketball courts as a giant canvas. the artist trying to transform communities. >>> in the midst of mass shootings and ice raids, one bay area school district is prote

huntsman has been in the role since the beginning of trump's presidency. sources told cnn trump and vladimir putin did not discuss names for a potential replacement for huntsman, only that that schachange would need be named soon. they did not discuss the withdrawal from the intermediate range treaty or the impending u.s. sanctions on russia for the poisoning of an ex-spy in the uk. they did, victor, and christie discuss the vacancy in the ambassador to russia. >> sarah, thank you. >>> let's talk about more of all of this with aerial lewerrol le. director of intel. this is one of the most important jobs today. there was very little support for him in the intel community and even in republican circles, so with that said, how much confidence do people have in the white house vetting process? well, look, we've gotten a lot of bad news about the white house vetting process. some of it coming directly out of the mouth of the president himself where he, you know, talking with the members of the press, you d my vetting, i put a name out there and you do a good jo

so it will be interesting to see, i think, who replaces huntsman. there is talk about steven begin who is now the leading -- the leading the negotiations with north korea replacing huntsman which says something about how the talks with north korea are going and perhaps that is even less enjoyable than serving as the chief emissary to russia. >> low bar. quite a balancing act. sal. >> senator lindsey graham kicked up a storm in the week when he said republicans would take another stab at repealing obamacare if they win full control in 2020 and i want to throw water on this and i spoke to several senior republican aides who said it is unlikely to happen and one texted me back a laughing face emotion and other one said it is just lindsey being lindsey. they don't want this to be the conversation and they want to focus on medicare for all and they believe that is a good condition and they don't want a repeat of the a.p.a. >> and the emoji response. always enjoyable. >> beware of the eyes of bedminster. i was in a summer retreat but that hardly means a b

with the revival of sa group huntsman like i fix when i'm on by i can now hope that the special bond between the golden eagle and the kindest people will be kept alive for generations to come. in hong kong though any special bond that existed between the government and the people seems to be breaking every day as protests continue and for the 2nd day running for test has disrupted operations of the international or under the top of the airport again today the show of defiance follows an increase in the use of force by police that anti-government demonstrators have slammed as excessive. now hong kong's chief executive cadigan lamb is warning the city is on court a path nor a time if the estimated violence is not brought under control she faced fiasco pressuring at a stormy press conference are going to bear where she was grilled or the whole role in the crisis. this was all. oh. please we all love you all these legal nightmare all these all the way. and i continue on. with your feet feet thank you do you have the autonomy or not to withdraw the extradition question you have not answer

secondly, huntsman, the ambassador to the soviet union, just quit today. i'm sorry, resigned. he didn't quit. he stepped down. he's the ex-ambassador to singapore and china. look for his voice, look for him to be around a little bit more. also, look for what the democrats say about the china trade deal. that's going to let the chinese know who they have to cut a deal with. liz: we'll see. phil, i am seeing a headline here that oil prices are paring their losses in the after-market on the report that saudi arabia was considering options to halt the oil price drop. just the whiff that saudi arabia might maybe cut back on output just to try and stabilize these prices suddenly helped the oil market. >> it is. when saudi arabia talks about oil, the market always listens. it's kind of interesting because yesterday, oil prices actually sold off on a report that the energy minister of saudi arabia met with the u.s. energy secretary to discuss safety in the persian gulf and oil prices. maybe this is a sign that not only is saudi arabia concerned about falling oil prices but maybe the t

ambassador to roster, jon huntsman, turned in his resignation letter to president trump this morning. the sully tribune is working -- reporting that he is leaving the job october 3 and will return to utah to consider a run for governor. he added that he had told the president he originally agreed to serve two years in the position. c-span has live coverage of the 2020 presidential candidates at the iowa state fair, starting thursday at 1:45 with montana governor, steve bullock, followed by joe biden. we are live at 10:00 eastern -- julianan castro o'rourke.beto we will also be live with other candidates. watch the 2020 presidential candidates live at the iowa state fair, starting thursday on c-span. watch anytime online at onpan.org, or listen live the go using the free c-span radio app. president trump has declared that china is a currency manipulator. at this hudson institute forum on u.s. economic threats, panelists discuss the merits of creating a national economic defense center that could analyze and respond to threats to the u.s. economy.

jon huntsman when he was the ambassador, i said what is the communist party, china's goal? gdp has to stay above 9% because when it goes under 9% things start to unravel in china. well, obviously the gdp has taken a hit over the past several years and the trade war that donald trump has continued and will continue until he decides it's politically expedient for him to stop the trade war during the election here that trade war is actually putting a hurt on the chinese economy. it is probably hurting the chinese more than it is hurting most americans. >> yeah. i think in the larger picture that's exactly right. and the chinese are beginning to reconcile that. yes, they probably want to wait donald trump out on the upcoming presidential election but the pressures that they're beginning to see in places like hong kong re-emphasize the reality that their economy is a little bit on the bubble. it is not sustaining the level of growth and then you -- when you look at what hong kong means in many respects they like the idea of the benefits of capitalism to the communist system. in

if you ask the secondary question, would you choose him over another credible republican, like jon huntsman, nikki haley, mike pompeo, i could list people that could become the next president, people say yes because he's nuts. i do believe by speaking out and calling the emperor for what it is, very naked, i do think it's going to create a runway and human shield. i don't mind taking the blows from the left on msnbc. i don't mind taking the blows from romney mcdaniel who now all of a sudden it's a personality cult party as opposed to the republican party. ifr' got no problem with it. we have to bring those people out and i predict we will. >> a lot of people will be cynical about you. there will be cynicism about you changing your mind about trump. i have to ask you this question, there's an interview i'm looking at on a podcast, that you're going to form a super pac. i have to ask you this question. those of us who worked in politics know how super pacs work. will you get a percentage of what you're able to raise for that super pac? >> let's talk about that. you probably read about this no

formally, we have received notice that jon huntsman is resigning as ambassador to russia. he is resigning to return to utah for a possible run for governor there. so he is reportedly mulling over a new run. he is resigning. i want to get your response while this news comes in. >> well, i think the high thing that i would say, it has been very, very difficult thing in u. i am not sure that there is anything anybody could have done about it, given where we started with the elections in 2016 and how absolutely polarizing the russian issue has been, but i would say it's imperative that the congress and the president act fairly quickly to get somebody over to moscow who has the trust and authority of the president of the united states who can keep this relationship between the world's two greatest nuclear powers as stable as possible. >> sandra: all right, it is an important relationship indeed. he has spent formally that a resignation letter to the president as of this morning. he says he wants to reconnect with growing family and responsibilities back at home. john hannah, ap

at the same time, the president's special envoy, steve began is talked about to replace john huntsman as the ambassador to russia. i think the president is willing to do that. not only because he does know moscow, served there, speaks the russian language, undergraduate there. but the president really doesn't think he needs a team, doesn't need a strategy. it's all about him. and it's quite extraordinary because what he's basically saying over these missile tests is i'm only worried about these missiles if they can reach the united states. not if they can reach japan and south korea which they certainly can. and in that way, he's further dissing our allies and partners, vet peop the very people we need to find a solution to the north korea dilemma which is a very difficult one zbrch. >> this is your piece. what would push it to a tiananmen square in your estimation? >> you know, trying to define the intentions and decision making processes of the chinese political leadership is like staring into a black box. the expert consensus is they understand that the political costs, domesticall
