Aired June 29, 2016 - 08:00   ET

THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT. THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED.

[08:00:01] ISA SOARES, CNN ANCHOR: I'm Isa Soares, live from outside the Houses of Parliament in London. You're watching CNN's coverage of two major stories this very hour. The terror attack in Turkey, as well as the fallout from UK's vote to exit the EU.

Here in UK, British Prime Minister David Cameron spend the last town in the House of Commons, these are questions from British MP's and then deliver the statement on his meeting with (inaudible) as it happened yesterday.

He insisted last says his Brexit vote to does not mean the UK is turning its back on Europe. It was message he conveyed on Tuesday in Brussels where EU leaders are holding a second day of talk.

CNN's International Diplomatic Editor, Nic Robertson joins me now from Brussels and Nic we heard that from David Cameron, not sure were you able to hear, he said the tone of the EU Summit yesterday was one of sadness and regret. We talked about shared values. Now that David Cameron is not Brussels and that European leaders talking about him behind his back, what can exactly come out to this meeting?

NIC ROBERTSON, CNN INTERNATIONAL DIPLOMATIC EDITOR: Yeah, one of the things David Cameron said about that dinner last night where he was with the other 27 European Union leaders, was that he wish the people of Britain could have been in that room to hear some of the things that were said about the great role that Britain has played within the European Union, but that water has flowed onto bridge that is clear. His regrets are clear, they're on the record but the 27 other leaders of European Union have just concluded a count elite a meeting of the leaders in the European Council.

The outcome of this, we haven't heard the detail of it but the headline is here, that they hope that Britain can continue to be a -- or can become a close partner third country if you will to the European Union. They're hoping that the relationship is going to be close in the future. But they are saying very, very clearly here that if Britain wants access to the single market then Britain has to accept the free movement of European Union citizens into Britain.

The battle lines here withdrawn, David Cameron last night explained to the European Union leaders why he believed that Britain heard voted to leave the European Union. Top of the list that was the issue of immigration and he said that would be an issue going forward that would have to be address. He believes Britain is better off close as closely involved with the European Union as possible that he wants Britain have access to that single market.

But he also said very clearly that the issue of the free movement of people from the European Union to Britain is an issue that will have to be dealt within the future an issue that were have to be dealt with by the next prime minister, but it does -- it does set out the terms of where the two parties stand on this. Britain on the one hand that wanting access to that single market but wanting to reduce the flow of European Union. Citizens to Britain and Europe on the other hand saying, no way, no can do, the two things come together. Isa?

SOARES: Nic Robertson for us there in Brussels.

Well Britain's prime minister is trying to reassure businesses the circumstances will not change until UK actually leaves the European Union. During question in a British Time just a short time ago, David Cameron did warn these times will be difficult and the economic times more so, back in Brussels off the meeting with EU leaders and Mr. Cameron had a message for the European Union but what drove the British vote to leave? Take a listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DAVID CAMERON, BRITISH PRIME MINISTER: That was a very great concern about the movement of people and immigration and I think that's coupled with the concern about the issues of sovereignty and ability to control these things. And I think, you know, we need to -- we need to about that, Europe needs to think about.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SOARES: Well, CNN's political contributor Robin Oakley who was listening to this prime minister questions so as long -- a long next to me and it was a lot -- there was a lot to get refrain (ph) those questions, we're talking about economy, trying reassuring investors as well as the question of sovereignty and the movement of people as Nic Robertson was talking there.

What stood out to you, what was in that the number message from him?

ROBIN OAKLEY, CNN POLITICAL CONTRIBUTOR: Well the number one message was that, he wants to see Britain have those closer relationship with Europe as it possibly can and his clearly very, very keen that Britain should remain in the single European market or have access to the single European market. But there we come up against the long gem because, you know, as we keep hearing Angela Merkel and other European Union leaders, as I give (inaudible).

If you want to have access to the single market, you've got to prevent the free movement of people and a big question is whether anybody is going to be able to find a way of smoothing things a little bit of the edges, to post that very big gap between the two sides as the negotiations begin.

But of course we wait sometime before the negotiations began, we got this new ministry being set up in Britain a new sort of Brexit team of all the talk civil servants being called together which David Cameron says we'll have only costs and analysis of all that possible alternatives laid out for whoever succeeds him as prime minister.

[08:05:11] And whoever it does succeed his as prime minister, that the next leader of the Conservative Party is going to have to come forward with some kind of vision of their own to persuade people to -- to persuade business, to persuade the markets that they see away through all of this and at the same, because immigration is such a big factor in the vote to leave, they're going to be -- they have to reassure the British people that they also see some way of are laying their fears about immigration.

So, that is the subject that's not going to go away, and instead it has there was a bizarre spectacle today, a prime minister who's virtually given a part who says all big decisions will be taken by his successor. Being challenge by a leader of the opposition, because been massively -- who has the massive vote of low confidence against him from his own parliamentary ...

SOARES: But it still defiant.

OAKLEY: Still defiant and of course his defiant -- but not just the personal reasons to cling onto a job, but this is the best opportunity, the left of the laid the party have had in decades to run things at the top of the party. They're not going to let go of that very easily.

SOARES: But he can't leave with 40 people supporting him, you look at him, it was very empty behind them and very quarries ire so.

OAKLEY: Irely quarries yes, yeah but this -- this new support for Jeremy Corbyn among or just -- there's just a small country and people supporting him among the parliamentary and peace of the laid of party, perhaps he still have a lot of support among the party activist. He got 60 percent of those party activists to vote for him back in September when he got the job and, you know, he was going to have longer to be tried out in the job, let say because of Brexit how much he didn't fight a good campaign.

So it's all come forward because many of this MP's feared there could be an early election ...

SOARES: And then win a strong candidate.

OAKLEY: They won a strong candidate, they don't believe he can't win them in election.

SOARES: And of course his got a support of the trade unions, we know that's going to be a rally here today in support of Jeremy Corbyn. Thank you very much Robin, we'll talk throughout the hour.

Now I want to have a quick look at European stocks and how they ferry so yes they we're rallying. Bank it seems to also doing very well big gain, is the biggest gain is in fact draw -- are helping to drive shares high. Look at that mark -- European market is up 2 percent, similar of numbers we saw yesterday at the Paris CAC was up 3 percent also yesterday, green arrow is right across the board. And in Asia seemed may finish also with very solid gains, financial markets across the world, seem to have settle then all, there investors will no doubt have many questions about what the plan is the next plan for -- following Brexit, we heard from David Cameron there three much more talking about trying to reinsure investors and he will set up a meeting, advisory group to advice a lot of -- reassure businesses they do have a plan.

Of course, we'll have much more on the fall out from last weeks Brexit, though just ahead, I'll speak with the conservative British MEP about what's next for the UK and how soon a plan will be in place for UK's exit from the EU. Lots of questions we're trying and get you the answers.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[08:10:31] SOARES: Welcome back to CNN Newsroom. Turkey is marking a national day of mourning in the wake of the suicide bombings at Istanbul's international airport. At least 41 people were killed after terrorist open fire on Tuesday night then blew themselves up. Of the 239 injured more that a hundred remain in the hospital.

Surveillance cameras just captured disturbing moments before one of the blast. You can see people running away here just before a bomb been exploded. There's been no claim of responsibility but the Turkish Prime Minister says ISIS is the likely culprit.

Flights have now resumed, travelers arriving at the airport today are being met with heavy security.

And to turn now to another big story that we've been following here in London, that's the fall out of UK's vote to leave the European Union. British Prime Minister David Cameron just spoke in parliament about last Thursday's vote. He offered reassurances about the health of the British economy is.

While he's insisting Britain's negotiate to have the close relationship possible with EU even if it's not part of it. He's remarks come as EU leaders hold the second day of talks in Brussels on Britain's exit.

Now, I want to bring in Charles Tannock he's a member of the European Parliament from Britain's Conservative Party. He joins me now from Brussels. Charles, thank you very much for joining me. I want to get your thoughts first on what we heard from David Cameron as well as Jeremy Corbyn.

We heard David Cameron say that Britain is in a strong position to meet challenges. On the other hand we also heard Corbyn asking very pertinent questions that a lot of people here will want answer, which is the fear of Britain, leaving Britain in a state of paralysis and in an unstable position. Does that worry you? What are your thoughts?

CHARLES TANNOCK, BRITISH MEMBER OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: Well of course it worries me because I mean the Prime Minister has to say that to calm the markets. But the fact is that the Prime Minister has made a resignation speech.

He's going to hand over all these decisions to his successor, man or woman, who becomes the next prime minister. And it's not at all clear what the alternative plan is. We -- in fact the Brexit here don't really have a coherent plant. They think they can have a kind of Europe ala carte.

It's clear to me that there is no such offer on the table at the moment for ala carte Europe. It's quite clear if they want to have a Norwegian style European economic area model which is the one that I would regard as the least worst option.

It also includes I'm afraid freedom of movement of people which I don't have a problem with. But if they want to go down that route they have to accept, they're not going to be able to stop that and so, to have access as a single market also requires paying in some money. It also means that we will have to put up with legislation over which we have not enough say in the way it's made. And we have to have freedom of movement.

So I'm not quite sure what model they want at the moment. This is something the new prime minister will have to decide and may have to result of course in a new referendum for the people to accept it. But that's up to the new government under the new prime minister.

It's very uncertain, of course the markets have rallied because it looks like things are slightly calmer. But I think we're in a kind if phony war situation now where nobody really knows what's going to happen next because it feels like business as usual.

I've been working today in the European Parliament as a normal MEP doing my business as the reporter for Montenegro. I'm going to carry on doing my normal business until I'm -- as it were removed from the building because Britain has finally left.

This may take a couple of years, I just don't know. It's the uncertainty which of course is stressing a lot of us because we just don't know how to plan for our own futures. So we're in this kind of limbo situation.

SOAREZ: Of course, the ...

TANNOCK: The Labor Party is split in Britain there is no strong, there is no strong opposition. Jeremy Corbyn is under enormous pressure to resign. We've lost out commissioner here, Lord Hill is gone.

And we have really a kind of vacuum of power where the Brexit as Mr. Farage says something in the European Parliament like yesterday. As if almost he was in charge of the British government. But of course he's only got one MP. He's not a minister, he has no direct par and is unlikely to have any par in the imminent future.

So it's very confused the picture. So I understand David Cameron, that's his duty as the national leader to try and be positive, foolish and all the rest of it. But until we have a absolutely coherent alternative, I don't know what to say.

I'm looking for inspiration, personally I believe that my country should have a fresh general election and all the major parties under their new leaders need to lay out a clear platform for what they seek to achieve with the European Union and what will be our new accommodation with Europe.

[08:15:09] But until we see that absolutely as it where being presented as a clear manifest commitment, I just don't know.

SOARES: Like you said Charles, things are looking slightly common, the people here looking for someone somewhere to have some sort of idea of the plan. I want to talk a bit more about this -- what David Cameroon said, he said that the access to single markets the most important issue. And it seems credibly tough to negotiate. You're in Brussels from those people you've been speaking to, is that even doable?

TANNOCK: Well, I hope it is, because I represent London including the city of London. If we lose our passporting rights for our financial services, our banking, our insurance, and inequity markets, there's no doubt the London will be hit very badly. A lot of banks and other companies will relocate their staff to Dublin, to Frankfurt, to Paris, and the London economy will be hit, but also the whole of the national economy because financial services in Britain is about 8 to 10 percent of our national economy.

So, we cannot afford to kiss goodbye to that. And even banks like the Swiss are only in London because they have access to the passporting for their banks. They don't have it directly under the Swiss bilateral deal.

So, this is an absolute priority, but I haven't yet seen a way in which we can do all that without also having the other bits of the jigsaw puzzle which involves freedom of movement also a commitment to pay in to the single market for various projects. And also, the fact that's how we square that with the fact that, you know, we will have a very little influence and actually making the legislation.

So, it's a kind of least where it's option which I would support in the current scenario, but given the fact that the victory for leave was a fairly narrow one. I think that maybe -- maybe just maybe some of the Brexit here will accept that at survivable compromise. I certainly have the feeling that my colleague Daniel Hannan in an intervention he made the other day was moving in that direction.

Boris Johnson has written an article suggesting half of that but then say, we won't have freedom of movement. We'll only have freedom of movement from Brits to go to Europe but not for Europeans to come to Britain. I'm not quite sure how he's going to pull that one off to be honest.

SOARES: Yeah, who ever takes up the next role has plenty of work ahead. Charles Tannock, thank you very much for joining us there from Brussels.

TANNOCK: My pleasure.

SOARES: And still ahead. We have much more in our breaking news coverage of the terror attack on Turkey's international airport in Istanbul. We'll take you there live for the very latest up to this very short break.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[08:20:10] SOARES: I'm Isa Soares, live from outside the Houses of Parliament in London. Let me bring the update with the headlines this hour.

Turkey has declared a national day of mourning in the wake of the deadly suicide bombings at Istanbul's Ataturk Airport. At least, 41 people were killed, 239 others are injured, about half of them remained in hospital. Flights have now resumed but cleaning crews are still clearing shattered glass and washing away signs of the carnage.

The terror attack in Turkey prompted a strong response from U.S. presidential candidates. Presumptive nominees from both major parties are condemning the attack. Democrat Hillary Clinton called for International Corporation while Republican Donald Trump demanded a tougher response again arguing for this torture in the fight against terror.

British Prime Minister David Cameron says the UK's vote to leave EU doesn't mean Britain's turning its back on Europe. He has been taking questions from the MP's in the House of Commons. His remarks come as EU leaders hold a second day of talks in Brussels on Britain's exit.

In his first Prime Minister's Question Time since the Brexit vote, David Cameron warned the UK will face difficult economic times. Back in London on Wednesday after meeting with EU leaders in Brussels yesterday, Mr. Cameron try to reassure business, saying circumstances will not change until the UK actually leaves the EU

I want to bring you more now on the deadly attack at Istanbul's international airport. Turkey has been plagued by terror attacks all this year. In January, if you remember, 10 Germans were killed in a suicide bombing in Istanbul. The following month, 28 people were killed in an explosion in Ankara, a Kurdish militant group claiming responsibility.

In March, 37 were killed when a car bomb reaped through a busy square in Ankara days later. Terrorists also bombed the terrorist area in Istanbul.

And then, earlier this month, an attack in Istanbul killed at least 11 people and injured 36. The car bomb attack targeted the police bus during the morning rush hour.

A Turkish government source tells CNN the three terrorists responsible are likely foreign nationals. The Turkish Prime Minister believes ISIS is to blame. But as of now, there's been no claim of responsibility.

Let's head right -- straight to Istanbul for the very latest we're going to find out. Alexandra Field is there.

Alexandra, bring us up to date what you've seen so far this morning.

ALEXANDRA FIELD, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Isa, it's really an amazing sight. Actually, this is the entrance to the airport behind me. And you can see a lot of traffic going through that first security checkpoint where cars are routinely stopped, where they are checked before proceeding to this airport which was known for having a very high level of security.

The question now, how these three attackers in a taxi were able to make their way toward the airport, two of them getting into the international terminal itself. As a result of this coordinated deadly attacks, it is now a day of mourning here in Turkey with more than 41 were killed, but so many of the signs of bloodshed inside that terminal have been wiped away in just the last few hours. The airport has been restored to service.

Investigators were there overnight documenting what happened and where it happened. They'll use this to piece together information about how attackers penetrated security, getting into that arrival's hall last night when this was a busy place to be with people arriving off the planes and families gathered.

More than a hundred people remained in the hospital right now as a result of their injuries. There were cameras that were rolling while this attack took place. You could see the explosions. You could see people running for their lives. You could see the wounded falling to the ground. At one point, you could even see an attacker walking with a gun before he was shot by a security officer, falling to the ground and then detonating his bomb.

There are families now of the victims grieving, waiting at hospitals. They are inconsolable waiting for words on their loved ones and how their loved ones are faring right now, hoping for the best. And for so many families this morning, it is the very worst news.

Again, we know that the death toll is now up to 41. About half of the victims' bodies have been returned to family members, 37 people have been identified. We know that there are at least 13 foreign nationals in the group of those who were killed. Three of them are also dual citizens of Turkey. Waiting for more information about the others who are killed and wounded.

And also, Isa, about the attackers themselves who have not been publicly identified by Turkish authorities, not identified by Turkish authorities although as you point out, intelligence officials here in Turkey and even in the U.S. do believe that this attack does fall in line with what is characteristic of ISIS even though that group has not claimed any public responsibility for this, Isa.

SOARES: Yeah, like you said, Alexandra, no one has yet claimed responsibility but we know from the Turkish Prime Minister is basic pointing the fingers squarely on ISIS.

From what you're hearing on the ground, the calls you're making, is there any sense you're guessing whether this is inspired by ISIS or directed by ISIS? So a bit like what happened in Paris as well as Brussels.

[08:25:12] FIELD: All of the intelligence will take some time to determine whether or not this are people who work directly connected or whether they were inspired. We don't know anything about the nationality of these attackers where they came from. What we do know is that this was a coordinated attack, we're talking about three people who investigators says showed up in a taxi. They were armed with guns, they we're also armed with those suicide vests. So there are patterns here that are in line with previous ISIS attacks.

And yes he point out the Brussels attack which was also a coordinated airport attack ...

SOARES: We need to warn viewers.

FIELD: ... it was time for maximum impact as they would say. It was a soft to target, this was a situation which you would have civilians and also people representing a wide number of nationalities. So this is something that will certainly garner a tension in it. It's one of the reasons that intelligence officials due believe that it is reflective of the kind of style of attack that ISIS carries out, Isa.

SOARES: Alexandra they feel frost there in Istanbul, Alexandra as soon as you have more do come back to us.

And witnesses are posting videos on social media sharing the terrifying moments inside the airport as the attack unfold and it just a warning. You may find some of these scenes disturbing.

SOARES: Extremely disturbing scenes there Istanbul Airport, well world leaders having voicing their outrage in the alley since that bombing among them, Russian President Vladimir Putin was now calling joint fights again terror. And Russian media reports that Mr. Putin, his Turkish counterpart, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan have just agreed that their countries will end to in to negotiations to normalize time.

Let's get a view of this from Moscow, our Senior International Correspondent Matthew Chance, joins me now and Matthew we'll talk a bit about the relations between this two country, but first I want to hear what President Putin had to say about the attack in Istanbul?

MATTHEW CHANCE, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Well, they've had this phone conversation, President Erdogan and President Putin of Russia. It was a pre-plan phoned conversation so it wasn't the cause of what took place in Istanbul but of course that was the top of the agenda, the Kremlin obviously condemned calling it heinous crime.

And once again called for the united front as you mentioned against the fight of terrorism. The problem is of course in Russia and in Turkey both of those countries run different sides of the arguments of the wall inside Syria. Russia was a strong backer of President Assad and Turkey is probably is the strongest opponent of President Assad in the region and even if they have agreed to talk about restoring that trade relations now. That's not already much, I don't think to result that problem that disagreement over Syria

SOARES: And Matthew was there and we notice it's the first time that talking since the crisis over the down Russian Jet, any sort of apology on that front?

CHANCE: Yeah, well this phone call came about expressly because the Turkish President sent a letter to Vladimir Putin to Kremlin and expressing regret. There was a lot of (inaudible) about the wording that was actually used. The Kremlin said it was an apology, the Turks off the record essentially said, we didn't apologize but they express regret and that was enough for the Kremlin.

It seems to start the process of restoring relations between Turkey and Russia. It's been an extraordinarily emotion of roller coaster between this two countries. A couple of weeks ago they absolutely hated each other, this lesson (ph) has now been sent, this regress has been expressed.

[08:29:59] And now Russia is talking about restoring tourism flights to Turkey. Talking about restoring trading relationship, the feud transport between the two countries that was cut off so abruptly after the dawning of that Russian plane back in November.

And so it seems that it's been decided it's in both countries interest. Both in Turkey's interest and in Russia's interest to, you know, put their differences aside now and try and get back to business it's both it's path, it's both costing, it's costing both Russia and Turkey an awful lot of money that neither country can really afford to lose at the stage.

SOARES: Yeah, it seems both leaders there -- kissing and making up putting the differences assign. Matthew Chance there for us, thanks very much Matthew.

Well there's more coverage of the Istanbul airport attacks. Still to come just ahead of that we'll show you how the financial markets are handling all the uncertainty and volatility form Britain's Brexit vote, we'll have that after the short break.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

SOARES: Welcome back to CNN Newsroom. I want to bring you up today one of the top stories we're following this hour and that is the attack on Turkey's -- Istanbul airport, the third biggest airport -- busiest airport I should say in Europe and Tom Foreman has more now on exactly what happened that day.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

TOM FOREMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: This airport has a tremendous amount of security on the roads coming in, to keep people from getting into the terminal easily and of course you keep them away from the planes and these attacks seem to have made it to at least this far. To this area here for the first bombing and the second one appears should have been somewhere over here.

Let's talk about the first one to begin with and why we think that's probably the first. This is the location it's where people would be coming in lower area arrivals, you see people standing around waiting in a normal time in this airport this was not during the attack. But look at the video during the attack, there's no real sign of tremendous alarm kind of normal movement before you get to the explosion down here and then tremendous blast. Witnesses talk about hearing two separate blast, but before that you don't see the sign of agitation.

Go to that second location that we are talking about a moment ago down here the end, and this is what that area is like. You're going to see some little corner here, this is where a officer of some sort seems to be as the gunmen comes around the corner here and then he takes the gunman down apparently shooting him as he comes around the corner and here you see a little more agitation of people trying to get away moving more quickly which indicates that there is some alarm already probably from the first blast.

Then the police officer comes over here he sees the man is down but he still have explosives, the police officer runs away and then there is the explosion and you could see the force of that explosion how much damage you did in that area alone.

So that's an idea of where they occurred, passed the first line of defense on the road coming in but pretty much held up somewhere around the second line of defense may be able to force their way through but they certainly didn't get that close to the planes and as we get more information exactly how they got there, and where they were trying to go I'll explain a lot too.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SOARES: Tom Foreman there, we're following that heinous attack. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is calling for a united global front against terrorism. He says the terrorist; there is no difference between Istanbul and London, Ankara, and Berlin.

[08:35:02] World leaders join him in condemning the attack.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

JOHN KERRY, U.S. SECRETARY OF STATE: We are still collecting information and trying to ask him what happened and what who did it? Then I won't comment further on it except to say that this is vaguely fair. And that's why I say the first challenge we need to face is countering non-state violent actors for a host of reasons.

ANGELA MERKEL, GERMAN CHANCELOR (In Translation): I offer my deepest sympathies to the relatives of the victims and the injured. And I want to say to all of the Turkish people that we consider ourselves united with them in the fight against terror.

FRANCOIS HOLLANDE, FRENCH PRESIDENT (In Translation): We fear that these terrorist acts which come after others are born to make the situation in Turkey more difficult. But we must act as what we are also doing in Europe and France and coordinate further our services and carry out as much as possible the necessary actions against terrorism and trafficking.

MALCOLM TURNBULL, AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTER: This is a reminder that Islamist terrorist seek to destroy, divide and kill Muslims as well as Christians and other people of non-Muslim faiths. They are a murderous criminal movement seeking to create vision and destruction and make us turn on each other.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SOARES: Meanwhile in the U.S., presidential candidates are also condemning they start -- the attack in Istanbul. Hillary Clinton is accruing the call for International Corporation between world leaders. But Donald Trump is taking much harsher stance. Philip -- Phil Mattingly has more.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DONALD TRUMP, (R) PRESUMPTIVE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE: We had another suicide bombing. Istanbul, Turkey, many, many, many people killed ...

PHIL MATTINGLY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The airport attack in Istanbul leading presidential candidates to once again address terrorism on the campaign trail.

TUMP: We better get smart and we better get tough or we're not going to have much of a country left, OK? It's bad.

MATTINGLY: Hillary Clinton refraining from any mention of the terror attack during a town hall in Los Angeles, Tuesday night, instead, releasing a statement, "Pledging of the attack in Istanbul only strengthens our resolve to defeat the forces of terrorism and radical Jihadism around the world".

Contrast that with Trump, who is again arguing for using torture in the fight against terror.

TRUMP: So we can do waterboarding but they can do chopping of heads. We have to be so strong. We have to fight so viciously and violently because we're dealing with violent people.

MATTINGLY: The presumptive GOP nominee coming under fire once again for his rhetoric.

TRUMP: The Trans Pacific Partnership is another disaster. Done and pushed by special interest who want our rape our country ...

MATTINGLY: Trump provocatively vowing to rip up international trade deals. Spending most of Tuesday laying out his economic plans and arguing that Americans need to take their country back.

TRUMP: Globalization is made to financial elite who donate to politicians very, very wealthy. I used to be one of them.

It's left millions of our workers with nothing but poverty and heartache.

MATTINGLY: Clinton saying she's sympathetic to people drawn to Trump's message.

HILLARY CLINTON, (D) PRESUMPTIVE PRESIDENTIAL NOMINEE: They have lost faith in their government, in the economy, certainly in politics and most other institutions.

I am not sympathetic to the xenophobia, the misogyny, the homophobia, the Islamophobia and all of the other, you know, sort of dog whistles that Trump uses.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

SOARES: You are watching CNN Newsroom. After the break we'll take a quick look at the post-fall out from that Brexit photos. As well say look at the markets. It seems things are looking slightly greener today by our investors putting their feet up just yet?

Nina dos Santos breaks it down for us after short break.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[08:41:22] SOARES: Welcome back to CNN Newsroom. I'm Isa Soares in London. European stocks are rallying again today second -- the day of rallies banks. Seems all the big gainers helping to drive shares higher as well as Asia actually is doing very well. That's European markets all looking that rather solid.

Yesterday we had a very strong day as well. Asia finishing also with solid gains, financial markets across the world have settled down after last week's shock Brexit folks sparked in huge sell-off.

CNN Money Europe editor Nina dos Santos watching the numbers for us. And Nina, you know, we're seeing green arrows right across the board. Does this mean that investors are slightly more relaxed about what happens next for Britain?

NINA DOS SANTOS, CNN MONEY EUROPE EDITOR: Oh I think the word relaxed would be an overstatement here. Nervous, nervously optimistic at the moment. And probably lots of them just basically buying some of these stocks because let's face it, after $3 trillion has wiped off of global equities, they might just think they're cheap here, Isa.

And many economists would say well look as if we didn't have economics to deal with here. It's hard enough to read the tea leaves of those. We now have the torrid world of politics to quote with. As you've seen there in a very vibrant session of prime ministers Question Time.

And in the absence of any real clear direction of where the UK is headed, well, people are looking towards the words central banks here to try and make up the difference. Somebody is very used to -- politician's leaning on him to come up with a concerted action. Is Mario Draghi, overnight he's been calling on other central bankers to come up with some concerted action here to align them and actually policy.

But he's also hosting a big summit which is taking place in Portugal. The ECB has a very, very big summit off-site which takes place in Portugal every time this year. But at the moment he's actually had to ditch part of that. And Janet Yellen has decided not to turn up this year. Neither is Mark Coney because everybody is listening to what they have to say and also Mario Draghi has to be in Brussels to take part in some of those key negotiations that they're taking place there this week, Isa.
