young child dangling from a fourth floor balcony. you can is see a my grant from mali scaling the balcony. he will now receive citizenship. he's already been offered a job by the paris fire brigade. i would say well worth it. he certainly earned it. thanks for joining us on this memorial day. "new day" starts right now. this is cnn breaking news. >> we want to welcome our viewers in the united states and around the world. it is monday, may 28th, 6:00 in new york. we remember our loved ones lost in service. dave briggs, good to have you here. >> good to be here. >> flash flooding has turned this maryland town's main street

into a raging river. cars are being swept up by this muddy water. this is ellicott city, maryland. nearly eight inches of rain fell in six hours. so the state's governor has dekhraurd a state of emergency for the area. it was just two years ago this history you can town sustained catastrophic damage from floods that left two people dead and cost millions in damages. another severe weather threat before the hurricane storm sets in. alberto gaining strength, expect to go dump heavy rainfall this memorial day. we have both weather stories covered for you, though. suzanne malveaux live on the phone from flood-ravaged ellicott city. good morning to you. what's the latest there? >> reporter: i know this area well. my parents live in ellicott city

but a much higher area. they experienced something similar two years ago in july. a police officer here is on site. we expect to get a briefing in perhaps an hour or so. they pushed us back, not allowing us to get too close to main street because they are still trying to assess the damage and danger just to have their own rescue crew get on main street. you can see by the footage that was taken by so many people, cars just sliding down the streets. s.o.s. flags outside. a wedding party, one of our producers ran into yesterday, they had to be evacuated. they said their vows.

they could not stay for the resepgdz. people were running trying to seek higher ground. as you can imagine, just heartbreaking. because many of these businesses -- as a matter of fact, they say 96 of these businesses were back and running back on main street. now they have to start all over. >> the video is incredible. it is incredible to have you there because you know this town so well. we will check back with you throughout the program. thank you so much. flooding a big concern in the southeast as alberto gains strength and heads to the coast. governors in three states declaring states of emergency ahead of land fall. jennifer, what's happening?

>> reporter: hurricane season hasn't begun yet. it doesn't start until june 1st. we have a storm making landfall today. maximum winds on of 65 miles per hour. that's right around the center. if you look behind me, you can see the surf. waves higher than normal. you can see this water line here where the sand gets a little bit darker. we have seen the water come up that high. we are planning on beach erosion, along with coastal flooding around the panhandle. this is a sloppy storm. so the effects and the impacts are far reaching throughout the panhandle, through alabama, georgia we could see flooding, and even south florida. this is pumping a lot of moisture into cuba, florida keys, south florida, all will be dealing with flooding still from alberto as well as inland locations. we can't ignore that.

places beyond the coast will have the flooding threat, as well as a tornado threat. anywhere from the right quadrant of the storm. wherever it makes landfall, that includes panama city, as well as the big bend of florida do need to be on the lookout throughout the day. we will be in pensacola throughout the morning to bring you the latest forecast. but we are planning on landfall sometime this afternoon. >> jennifer, thanks. we'll check back in just a bit. the on again, off again, now on again summit between president trump and kim jong-un. a u.s. delegation is in north korea trying to resurrect the meeting as we speak. mr. trump abruptly canceled it last week with that letter. will these leaders meet? two weeks from tomorrow, in fact. kaitlan collins live at the white house with the latest. what has changed? >> reporter: it has only been four days since the president

canceled this highly anticipated summit. he seems to have new found optimism that it could still take place june 12th. his aides are deeply skeptical of that timing. just to give a sense how deep the divide is between his president and his aides on the timing of this, one said it didn't exist. right now both the united states and north korea seem to be racing to resurrect this meeting even though there is only a little more than two weeks to go. the clearest sign that the canceled summit between president trump and kim jong-un may be back on. >> we're talking to them now. they very much want to do it. we'd like to do it. we'll see what happens. >> reporter: president trump confirming the meeting on twitter, praising north korea's brilliance poe continual to be a great financial nation noting, kim jong-un agrees with me on this. it will happen.

the u.s. delegation led by former south korean president sung kim after a surprise meeting saturday. president moon telling reporters that kim committed to a summit with trump and to complete denuclearization, a key prerequisite for talks. but lawmakers on capitol hill expressing skepticism. >> i remain convinced that he does not want to denuclearize. in fact, he will not denuclearize. but he wants to give off this perception that he is an open leader that is peaceful, reasonable. >> i think north koreans realize total denuclearization on their part is not in their national interest. that's how they see it. >> reporter: in a sign of uncertainty about the summit's future, president trump going after the "new york times" sunday for quoting a white house official who said holding the summit june 12th, as previously

planned, would be impossible due to timing restrictions. the president insisting the official doesn't exist and is a phony source. buff it happened during a formal briefing organized by the white house that dozens of reporters attended. the only reason the remark wasn't on the record is at the white house's insist answer. the comment was later confirmed in audio posted online. president trump also continuing to attack special counsel robert mueller's investigation lamenting that young and beautiful lives have been devastated and destroyed by the phony russia collusion witch-hunt. they went back home in tatters. it is unclear who the president is referring to. mr. trump's lawyer, rudy guiliani, acknowledging that the attempt to undermine mueller's investigation in the court of public opinion is part of their strategy. >> it is public opinion. eventually the decision will be

impeach, not impeach. members of congress, democrat and republican, will be informed a lot by their constituents. the jury, as it should be, is the american people. >> reporter: so giuliani saying while he thought mueller was legitima legitimate when he started, he no longer believes so now. the president made it multiple times on twitter over the weekend. all of that going on as the president today will go to arlington cemetery right outside washington for a wreath-laying ceremony in honor of memorial day. joining us is david sanger and cnn political analyst david drucker. david sanger, you've been reporting for weeks, months, years on this. so it seems like it is on again. tell us what's happening behind the scenes. >> well, it sure does seem like it is on again, or at least the president wants it to be. it almost makes you wonder why he wrote that letter to begin

with. because the day after he wrote the letter, he began discussing putting this back on perhaps for june 12th. and as you heard, got quite angry when we quoted an aide that would have given a briefing to 250 people that suggested that june 12th was just about impossible. so it does look like it's on. they have done two interesting things, alisyn. they sent sung kim, who dealt with the six-party talks with north korea during the bush administration, he is leading the team up into north korea about the spwaps of all of this. and hayden is deputy chief of staff who also worked for president bush. again, very experienced. going to singapore to is the up the logistics of the trip. that sure sounds like something is under way. >> david drucker, we will bring you in here. at the heart of all of this, what is denuclearization?

something that should have been defined before we even took this move. >> ultimately, i remain equipsed that he does not want to denuclearize. in fact, he will not denuclearize. but he will give off this perception that he is an open leader, peaceful, that he is reasonable. >> so, again, david drucker, isn't that something that should have been laid out before even agreeing to any summit. >> i think it would have been helpful to have the terms agreed to before the summit. but he agreed to the summit. it looks like he is committed to getting this back on track. the question we have to ask is the denuclearization by north korea the same is as the united states? it is highly unusual that the u.s. and north korea will ever line up on that means. one, kim wants to protect his regime. we have seen no real evidence that he is trying to liberalize his regime and open up his

regime. that means protection of the regime is job one for him. how does he do that without a nuclear arsenal? that way the gu logs are open to pressure. and that is the danger here, mr. kim ends up on a stage with the leader of the free world, which is what the president of the united states is. it legitimizes him and gives him stature that did not exist before this summit happened regardless of what happens with the summit. the other part is china. we rely so much on china to pressure north korea into capitulating, working with us on our terms. but china doesn't have any interest in helping the united states solve a problem and enhancing u.s. -- the stature of the united states and influence of the united states in the asia-pacific region. its long term goal is to supplant the u.s. as preimminent

power in that part of the world and other parts of the world. it becomes a highly dubious proposition for the u.s. to rely on china as such a key component in an effort to get north korea to stand down. >> what do you think of the fly in the ointment? do you think kim could ever agree to denuclearization as the u.s. sees it? >> the u.s. concept of this as they went into it, alisyn, was that the north koreans turn over all the nuclear weapons, dismantle all their infrastructure, do the same with the missile program and only again get relief. you are seeing the president and aides begin to walk back from that. they recognize this is probably going to have to be staged. or that we would ever know what everything was.

since our own intelligence agencies had estimates about the number of nuclear weapons that range from 20 to 60. it is going to be a difficult thing to actually work out a schedule for the denuclearization that both sides will agree toen trust and doing this in a country the size of north korea will be pretty much a nightmare. it doesn't mean it is impossible, but it would require the full cooperation of the north koreans for a sustained period of time, years. as you can tell from the on again, off again from the summit meeting, that the emotions and the divisions internally here and north korea run deep. >> so two weeks from tomorrow david drucker? too soon? >> i think it is theoretically too soon to choreograph an outcome that the acceptable to the united states. and the way we should look at this is what is acceptable to the united states so that it doesn't send a wrong message to

other rogue actors that you can blackmail the united states with a nuclear weapons program. now that the president is committed to the summit itself, i don't know that it's possible to get back on track. what people don't realize about these summits, leaders don't show up and have a conversation and see where it goes. you choreograph all the outcomes that you expect to happen. and especially in this case it's likely if it works or appears to possibly work be a multiround type of scenario. they meet once, again over a couple of days, break for a couple of months, go back at it. diplomats holding side meetings. they are highly choreographed so you know what the outcome is supposed to be. maybe somebody breaks off says, i'm through, i'm walking away. that's why we are questioning whether there is time to get this done. even if you didn't have the letter from a couple days ago canceling it.

it is such a difficult proposition. can they hold it and get it done the right way? i think that's the problem. >> david drucker, david sanger, thank you both very much. now, to this. rudy guiliani defending the president's criticism of the russia investigation and the latestest to undermine the special counsel's probe. we will discuss the strategy next. to grow more delicious coffee. which helps provide for win's family. all, for a smoother tasting cup of coffee. green mountain coffee roasters. can be a big bad problem that you could spread to. family members, including your grandchildren babies too young to be vaccinated against whooping cough are the most at risk for severe illness. but you can help prevent this. talk to your doctor today about getting vaccinated against whooping cough. because dangers don't just exist in fairytales.

president trump lashing out about the russia probe. >> you get the comey thing, which is a leak of a confidential memo, which is illegal for an fbi official to do. and that becomes the basis for a pointing mueller. i'm not saying mueller is illegitimate. i'm saying the basis on which he was appointed is illegitimate. >> sam, we'll start with you. the foundation of the investigation, illegitimate. true or false? >> i have to tell you i'm a little disturbed when rudy guiliani and vladimir putin have the same mission here. we have two guys fixated on undermining the credibility of the department of justice and the investigation. they seem to be playing from exactly the same playbook. and you have to wonder at what point is a responsible member of

the admin administration going to come forward, and just from an intelligence standpoint, say mr. president, your personal lawyer is going on television and making the exact points that putin wants us to and that is really hurting our country. >> he also made the point -- he just talked about his strategy and talked about why they're doing it. what he said was it is for the court of public opinion. if we can get the public to believe this and on our side, things get a lot easier. >> they are giving us the material. i couldn't do it if i didn't have the material. we're defending, to a large extent, remember, dana, we're defending here, it is for public opinion. because eventually the decision here is going to be impeach, not impeach. so our jury is the, as it should be, is the american people. >> as dave just said, shockingly

transparent. >> that's right. they are telling us exactly what they're doing, but that doesn't make it right. if i tell you i'm doing something wrong, points for candor. it still means i'm doing something wrong. i think what we see is people who are fighters. they don't like to be boxed in. if you look at the strategy we have seen, we'll just go out there and say we don't care about what happened legally. it will be the court of public opinion. if you f we look at the norms, the way they see the world. they look at things like separation of powers, checks and balances as unfair constraints rather than the system that we live under. the norms are the same way. they see them as barriers we have to hurdle. i think at the end of the day that's the strategy. >> but he's also right. it is about impeachment. >> it also sounds like propaganda a little bit. we're talking about a p.r. strategy. the president's personal lawyer

is going on television and literally spewing inaccuracies. we could spend an entire segment dissecting what he said. >> they are tearing down law enforcement, trying to destroy the department of justice for this p.r. campaign, in order to discredit investigators. >> should we fault him for being honest about their approach. >> this is a great new thing. we need more of this. >> stunningly transparent with stormy too. maybe we should applaud it. >> though that did get him into some trouble, or at least complicated situation. >> yeah. >> here's what president trump said about -- via twitter, about the toll that the russia investigation is taking on people's lives. who is going to give back the young and beautiful lives and others that have been -- the ugly and old, that have been

devastated and destroyed by the phony russia collusion witch-hunt? they journeyed down to washington, d.c. with stars in their eyes and want to go help our nation, they went back home in tatters. what is he talking about? >> i don't know. the people i don't feel bad for are papadopoulos, manafort, gates. this tweet quite simply is a disgrace. >> i would say if you look at the merits of this, he is right in the accepts that there are challenges whenever you enter an orbit where people are under investigation. the represent additional challenge, i have no sympathy for people who entered the orbit of these people who are now under indictment. the financial aspect is a little different. if you're come canning to work and now you have to proffer a defense, that costs money.

your former boss is a billionaire with buildings and a boeing. >> i'm sorry to be so literal, but who is it? >> he had stars in his eyes. >> george papadopoulos? i can't even understand this? >> it is hard to figure out. at the heart of all of this, it is evidence. here's what marco rubio said about actual evidence of this spy on the trump campaign. listen to what he said sunday. >> as far as what i have seen to date, it appears that there was an investigation not of the campaign but of certain individuals who have is a history that we should be suspicious of that predated presidential campaign of 2015, 2016. when they are in the orbit of a major political campaign in america, the fbi should look at people like that. >> okay. i was kidding about rudy's

honesty. that's the type of honesty you would probably applaud. >> certainly. we have bipartisan con senn tuesday there on this whole spygate issue. we had a briefing, unform, a few days ago on the hill. we have republicans and democrats come out and say that there is no there there. and mueller needs to continue his investigation, and we need to give him the space to do that. >> what marco rubio seems to be saying is they were trying to protect the trump campaign from people who may not have had their interests at heart like russian stooges basically. >> over the weekend on cnn, they said let's picture this as a bank that's been robbed. and the fbi comes in to figure out what happened. was there illegal activity? no innocent person at the bank -- president will say you're investigating me. no. we're looking for criminal activity. >> no bank president says you're

okay. listen to this story. the u.s. government has lost track of nearly 1,500 migrant children. all of them were placed in sponsor homes after crossing the border unaccompanied or being separated from their parents shortly after crossing. so outrage is growing with the federal government insisting it is not legally responsible for them. rosa flores is live with more. how does this work, rosa? >> reporter: well, alisyn, good morning. as you mentioned, this is garnering a lot of attention, especially after an announcement made by attorney general jeff sessions earlier this month saying anyone who crosses the border would be prosecuted. we know a lot of them are mothers with their children, will be prosecuted and separated from their children at some point during prosecution and the

children were end up in the custody of the united states. of course the problem and the question is how can the united states lose 1,500 children? this is not a situation isolated to the trump administration. the senate permanent subcommittee on investigations has been investigating this for 26 months. that goes back to the obama administration and issued a scathing report back in 2016 saying that the policies and procedures were just not adequate to keep these children safe. some of those children ending up in the hands of traffickers, according to reports by the subcommittee. and of course the members of the subcommittee very concerned about what the united states government is doing to make sure that these children are safe. take a listen. >> what is the number of children who have been separated from adults who say they are their parents and are seeking asylum at the border?

>> i don't know that offhand, so i don't want to misspeak. i will bring it back to you. >> do you have a germ idea? >> i do not want to speculate. >> do you know if any of those cases have resulted in trafficking charges? >> it's my understanding that they have, but i do not know the specific number, so i want to provide you accuracy. >> reporter: now, once hhs says that they give the child over to a sponsor. here's what they say happens. "he or she is in the custody of the u.s. government and hhs provides subsiftens ends at that point and the child becomes the responsibility of his or her parent, guard yap or sponsor. does the u.s. government have a moral responsibility to take care of these children? >> thank you for setting all of that up for us. let us discuss it with david

drucker and brian karem. 40,000 were separated from their parents. and the u.s. government tries to put them with another close blood relative. but sometimes can't and sends them with a vetted sponsor. but then loses track of them. what it sounds like is that the u.s. government is not equipped. they just don't have the manpower or apparatus to track what happens to these kids can. >> and they never have had, alisyn. you go back to when i was working the border in the '80s and the '90s, they didn't have the people then. and they don't have the people now. you can't keep track of them. there's no way of knowing. when they say vetted sponsor, what does vetted mean? when they say 1,500, that is a low end. your number is a scarier number to look at it.

what is the moral imperative on our government? at the end of the day, what does it say to us as we the people who allow this to happen? the reporter or in san antonio is right, this isn't just the administration, the current administration, this goes back to at least to obama. i would maintain it goes back to at least as far as when i worked down there, and that is 30 years of that kind of stuff >> so it is a bipartisan problem. but here's what the president tweeted about this subject. put pressure on the democrats to end the horrible law that separates children from their parents once they cross the border into the u.s. catch and release. here is jeff sessions laying out exact lu what the admin is station policy is on separating children. >> if you don't want your child to be separated, then don't bring them across the border

illegally. if you are smuggling a child, then we will prosecute you. and that child may be separated from you as required by law. >> it seems pretty crystal clear there, david drucker. >> yeah. look, i think there are a couple of things to understand here. one, we have the bureaucratic mismanagement in the federal government across administrations, republican and democrat. but here we have a sort of change in tone and policy from this administration that is clearly trying to use this as a deterrent. and in order to discourage illegal border crossings warning your child will be taken from you and you will be separated. and so i think that's the part that this administration has to grapple with. if it uses the policy as a deterrent and talk about it in this way. >> how is it going to ensure these children are secure that, they were where they are, and they can end up back with their parents this is the policy wants

to pursue. the president says he doesn't want to pursue the policy, he doesn't like the policy, and he is blaming democrats in congress. so try to solve this. there are talks in the house of representatives as they still struggle to try to deal with the daca issue. i'm curious to see if they will try to roll this issue into that. the problem is it is an election year. even if you can get something out of the house, to get it out of the senate when there is so much such a super charged political issue that can cut so many ways and have people hesitant to do anything is part of the problem and one of the reasons we have not been able to solve the illegal immigration reform in general going back to george w. bush through barack obama. >> you're never going to solve it that way. it won't work as a deterrent to separate families.

if you look at the socioeconomic issues that drive people to the border, they are desperate enough as it is. the threats are no worse than what they are already facing. and i would very much like jeff sessions and the president of the united states to have to live for a week under those socioeconomic situations and see what they would do. it is disingenuous for both to sit there and preach what they're preaching while people are suffering and we do nothing to help it. >> the other side of the issue, alisyn, is that the president ran on and was elected on about doing something on the immigration problem. however, whatever you think the problems are, and he has yet to use a significant portion of presidency to try to drive a legislative fix to this, which i find very interesting because it is central to his messaging and what he says he is concerned about when dealing with the future of the country. >> that's because it is complex and he wants a simple solution so he can preach to the base

that he has done something when they don't want to look at the can complexities of the issue. >> forget about it during an election year. thank you both for being here on memorial day. lebron james does it again, dave. let me tell you about sports. >> unbelievable, my friend. >> i'm going to find out in the "bleacher report" exactly what all of this means. >> you're going to be amazed. >> am any i? ways to lthe northern belly fat. percussion massage. not cool. freezing away fat cells with coolsculpting? now that's cool. coolsculpting safely freezes and removes fat cells. with little or no downtime. and no surgery. results and patient experience may vary. some rare side effects include temporary numbness, discomfort, and swelling. ask your doctor if coolsculpting is right for you. and visit coolsculpting.com today for your chance to win a free treatment. why is dark magic so spell-bindingly good? it's a bold blend of coffee with rich flavors of uganda, sumatra, colombia

for many people memorial day means picnics and barbecues. it officially kicks off summer. but the true meaning of course is to honor fall especially service members who gave their lives for this country. retired lieutenant general has a special way of remembering heroes who died under his command. he joins us now. germ, looking forward is the wrong word but i love this ritual, what do you do? >> alisyn, first of all, it's kind to have me on again. this has become our tradition on memorial day, to be sure. this year took a little bit of a different turn. as we talked about before, a few of us, four of us have a box that we made after our first

deploy thement in 2003 and four. we put photos of the soldiers we lost into that box. it was a little over 100. as we went back into combat several more times, we have added unfortunately more photos to that. right now my box has 253 cards with soldiers's pictures we lost in combat. it is my tradition to pick one a day during the year and look at them. the iraq and afghanistan veterans of america came up with an idea that had a go silent campaign. #gosilent. they looked at 3:00 this afternoon eastern time to just reflect for a minute. when i saw that campaign, i said i can't hold it to a minute. i took an hour a day and doing a minute per in the box. today i will do about an hour and 15 minutes. it's been fascinate to go see from a bigger perspective

reflecting back on the individuals that gave the ultimate sacrifice. >> let's talk about some of these. chief warrant officer donald clark and chief officer humphreys. >> they were two young pilots. you have the big sexy airplane like prince andrew flies, the apache. and you have the black hawks or the chinook. they provide scouting missions to the troops on the ground. these two young men, one with children, the other one single, were co-pilots on one of those aircraft up in the northern part of the area in 2008. they crashed after providing support to ground forces. two young guys were loved by federal aviators.

>> army sergeant first class miguel wilson. >> yeah. this guy was very interesting. when we were in northern iraq, as you know, the tigris river cuts through the middle of iraq. we were working both sides of the river. we were asking army guys to do things they had never done before, doing patrol boats along the banks because that's where the insurgents were hiding. one day one of his soldiers fell off the boat. he immediately jumped in after him. he was wearing all of his kit and it took him under. he died trying to save one of his own. specialist michelle whitmer. >> she was a military policewoman from all takes. i didn't know her. but from all of her friends, they say she was just fierce. a small young woman but really enjoyed being a military policewoman and loved what she

did. she was failed by a small arms attack on a base. >> army staff sergeant tyler picket. >> yeah. this is the more interesting one, alisyn. because i had a list of soldiers that i wanted to talk about this morning. last night i got a note from one of sergeant picket's troops. he said, hey, sir, you're going on again. please mention sergeant picket this time. we all loved him. his picture is kind of goofy. but if you knew him as his soldiers did, he was an amazing young man and great leader. very charismatic. all of his soldiers really admired this guy. he was unfortunately killed in an ied attack. you look at all these folks, alisyn, everybody is starting the summer and they should. they are having the barbecues and drinking beers and the margaritas. but the whole intent of memorial day is just to take a little bit of time to reflect about all these young men and women who

gave so much, gave their all. what's fascinating is bringing them out going to a memorial and see their names carved in stone. they stay forever young in these cards i have. they were 20 or 30 years old when they sacrificed their life. today they would have been in their mid-30s, sometimes early 40s. it is good to remember this is why we do the things we do. and we have to respect them. >> general, we applaud your ritual that you share with us. just taking a live look at arlington national cemetery. the president will be going there today. >> thank you, alisyn. have a great day. >> you too. thanks to our international viewers for
