LAURA COATES, CNN HOST: Thank you for watching. Our live breaking news coverage of the protests and curfew in Los Angeles continues with M.J. Lee in just a moment.

[01:00:21]

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: This is CNN Breaking News.

M.J. LEE, CNN SENIOR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: Hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the United States and from all around the world. I'm M.J. Lee. Five nights into the Los Angeles protests and police say mass arrests are now underway, that a curfew is in effect. These are live images coming in from downtown L.A. where we've been seeing a heavy police presence. Law enforcement have been detaining demonstrators, refusing to leave.

The curfew covers only a small section of America's second largest city, just one square mile of downtown L.A. It began two hours ago and will last until 6:00 a.m. local time. Prior to this latest action, police said nearly 400 people had been arrested since Saturday.

And meanwhile, California's Governor Gavin Newsom has lashed out at the U.S. president over his decision to send thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines to L.A. in response to the protests over escalating immigration raids.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GAVIN NEWSOM, CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR: Thanks to our law enforcement officers and the majority of Angelenos who protested peacefully, the situation was winding down and was concentrated in just a few square blocks downtown. But that -- that's not what Donald Trump wanted, he again chose escalation. He chose more force. He chose theatrics over public safety. He federalized another 2,000 Guard members.

He deployed more than 700 active U.S. Marines. These are the men and women trained for foreign combat, not domestic law enforcement. We honor their service, we honor their bravery, but we do not want our streets militarized by our own armed forces. Not in la not in California, not anywhere. We're seeing unmarked cars, unmarked cars in school parking lots, kids afraid of attending their own graduation.

Trump is pulling a military dragnet all across Los Angeles well beyond his stated intent to just go after violent and serious criminals. His agents are arresting dishwashers, gardeners, day laborers and seamstresses. That's just weakness. Weakness masquerading as strength.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LEE: Newsom also said President Trump is not opposed to violence if it suits him, citing the events of January 6th. Notable comments from the governor after a heated back and forth between the two leaders. President Trump has claimed that if not for his actions, L.A. would be burned to the ground. California has sued the Trump administration over the troop deployments. And on Wednesday, a federal judge denied the state's request to immediately stop the mobilization and has set a hearing for Thursday.

National Guard members have not just been guarding federal buildings. They also appear to be present as Immigration and Customs Enforcement, also known as ICE, carried out raids. CNN's Michael Yoshida is following all of this live from Los Angeles for us.

What's the latest where you are, Michael, since the curfew has gone into effect, what have you seen there?

MICHAEL YOSHIDA, CNN REPORTER: Hey, good to be back with you, M.J. About two hours into this curfew now and what a difference 24 hours make. Last night we were talking with you as were showing some of those more tense skirmishes between protesters, law enforcement officers as arrests were happening. Now you can see we're within this curfew zone. This is an area where we saw protesters all day.

But the street's back open. You can see law enforcement that had filled this street all day now gone. And that right there across the bridge, that's that federal detention facility that's been the focus of these protests. It's where, again, throughout most of the day we saw a heavy law enforcement presence, we saw a heavy protester presence. But it was about an hour before this curfew went into effect, we saw law enforcement start to make their lines, push those protesters up towards where we are now, across the bridge and then right, I'd say about 10, 15 minutes before 8:00 our time when that curfew went into effect, they made the announcement it was time to disperse.

And honestly most of the protesters left this area, we do know there have been some ongoing arrests several blocks away from here as this curfew, again, has taken effect for about a one square mile area here in Downtown L.A. But at this point, again, much calmer scene you can see. Still we have highway patrol behind me here. They're blocking off the entrances and off ramps from the nearby highway. It was earlier today we saw the 101 impacted briefly by some of the protests, but, yes, a much different scene at this point.

[01:05:00]

Still law enforcement out here. But again goes to show even within this one mile area for the curfew where we've seen a lot of this activity the last few nights, we're not seeing it here, maybe a little spot a few blocks away. But yes, much different scene. Obviously we're going to keep an eye on it as the night goes on.

LEE: And Michael, as you've been talking to just the residents of L.A., what are they telling you about how they are processing these protests?

YOSHIDA: I think the thing that stands out and something we've talked about is just how kind of small of an area within L.A. this is really impacting. And this curfew area, about one square mile, according to those we spoke with, is about 100,000 residents impacted of the 4 million or so residents in L.A. So, yes, we see especially on social media a lot of those protests, a lot of the sites of law enforcement in the street. But even last night we were walking with the protesters throughout the day, the evening we were right in it. But once that wrapped for the night, went maybe five, 10 minutes away.

Still within Los Angeles, were seeing people coming home from dinner as if their evening had been any other evening during the week here in L.A. So yes, there's a lot of attention on the imagery that we're seeing on T.V. on social media. There still is a sense that again, this is just a small section of the city that's being impacted by these protests and even smaller section appears by some of these more violent interactions between some protesters and law enforcement.

LEE: Michael Yoshida, thank you so much for being there.

And Steve Moore is a retired FBI Supervisory Special Agent and CNN Law Enforcement Contributor. He's been watching the events in Los Angeles unfold.

Steve, great to have you here. I know that you are obviously familiar with the kinds of training and experience that the LAPD specifically has to try to contain a situation exactly like this one. Just based on how they have handled things tonight as the curfew has gone into effect, and based on everything you've seen the last couple of days as well, does it seem to you that local police has this situation under control?

STEVE MOORE, CNN LAW ENFORCEMENT CONTRIBUTOR: Yes, now they do. When, I mean, obviously if you're seeing cars burning in the street, people throwing bricks at highway patrolmen, things like that, throwing rocks at ICE vehicles, then you don't have it under control. So there was a point at which early on they did not have it under control. And the chief said so. He said, well, at least he said they were overwhelmed.

So, yes, nobody, I think, in the country does this better than LAPD. But the issue is, do you have the numbers? Can you stop enforcing normal law all around 20 miles of L.A. just to stop this downtown?

LEE: And let's talk about the president's decision to deploy hundreds of Marines to Los Angeles, which has been a hugely contentious decision. Help us understand the Marines a little bit. I mean, their capabilities, what they are uniquely trained for. And do you see any good reason for the Marines to be on the ground for these L.A. protests?

MOORE: Well, I think, first of all, we have to understand, I think, why they're here. I don't think that the Marines and the National Guard are here to quell a riot. In fact, they never did anything but standby at -- standby at federal buildings on federal property, which is kind of why I think they were brought in under Title 32, which is federal control, as opposed to -- I'm sorry, Title 10, which is federal control, as opposed to Title 32, which is state control. I believe that they're probably here to provide force protection for ICE as they continue their raids. I don't think they were brought here for the riots.

They never did interact with rioters. They never left federal property. But now they're deploying out, apparently with ICE units and providing that force protection. But as far as what they do, the group -- the National Guardsmen who are here, that unit was last in Afghanistan and what they were doing is liaising with the Afghani police. So they do have some skills here and they're receiving extra training as far as, are they needed right now for what happened?

[01:10:00]

No, it died down just gradually from the first day on. There was no huge incitement either. So, were they needed? No. Did they cause a huge repercussion?

No. So that's kind of what it's looking like to me.

LEE: And let me ask you about some images that ICE posted on X on Tuesday of officers detaining individuals in Los Angeles. If you look at the photos, the officers are surrounded by National Guard troops. You see those images there? The reporting from my colleague Priscilla Alvarez is that former ICE officials can't recall any time that the National Guard would have been involved in a domestic ICE operation like this one. What do you make of all this?

MOORE: Well, I think it's part of the president's perceived mandate from the people. You know, he ran on bringing justice to the -- to illegal immigration. And so he's following through on that, I guess. But, yes, it is extremely unusual. Not since the '92 riots have I seen the Marines with federal agents.

So this is something brand new.

LEE: Something brand new. All right, Steve Moore in Los Angeles, thank you so much for your time.

MOORE: Thank you.

LEE: And as we said earlier, the war of words between President Trump and Governor Newsom intensified on Tuesday. CNN's Kristen Holmes has the latest from the White House.

KRISTEN HOLMES, CNN WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: President Donald Trump talking about the situation in Los Angeles, using a number of opportunities to get in front of cameras with reporters and answer questions on what was happening on the ground there. He took that opportunity to once again trade barbs with the Governor Newsom, the Democratic governor in the state, saying that he was grossly incompetent. But he also took it a step farther. When he was at Fort Bragg, he talked for a while about why exactly he sent troops in, doubling down on this idea that it was necessary. There have obviously been some complications with this, meaning that there was legal action that was brought against him.

He is clearly trying to justify what, why it was. He used words like rebellion, used words like invasion. He also at one point said that there were people infiltrating and operating federal buildings. So again, he is trying to stress the idea of why he did this by saying it was necessary to not only send in the National Guard, but to also send in these Marines, which we have heard from lawmakers in California who have said it was not necessary for Trump to do so.

Now, when asked about how long the National Guard or the military was going to be in California or in Los Angeles, here's what Donald Trump said.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: If there's peace, we get out. If there's even a chance of no peace, we stay there until that peace.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

HOLMES: So that there being a little bit subjective, until there's peace. Earlier, he said until there was no more danger. When asked what danger looked like, he had some examples. But it is clear that Donald Trump himself is watching this unfold and deciding what next steps to take. One of the things we had been reporting is just how far he was willing to go.

Would he be willing to invoke the Insurrection Act? There are members of his team who don't believe that's where they should go, but there are also others who want to take a more aggressive stance. And Trump himself seemed to say that he was making an example out of Los Angeles in some ways, saying at one point that people would look at the city and know or look at the situation and know that if they were to act out during these various ICE raids or events like this, that they would be met with equal or more force than they're seeing in Los Angeles.

Kristen Holmes, CNN, the White House.

LEE: And joining me now from Los Angeles, Areva Martin is a civil rights attorney and legal affairs commentator.

Areva, thank you very much for being here. I want to ask you first about the news today about a federal judge in San Francisco denying California's request to immediately block the Trump administration from using the Marines and the National Guard to enforce laws in the state. A hearing has been set on this for Thursday. First of all, what did you make of the judge denying the state an immediate restraining order?

AREVA MARTIN, ATTORNEY & LEGAL AFFAIRS COMMENTATOR: I don't think we can make much of it. When judges deny these kind of temporary -- requests for temporary restraining orders or some kind of extraordinary action by the court and set a hearing, it just says that the judge believes that more evidence, more information is needed before a determination can be made. I don't think it at all undermines the lawsuit that's been filed by the state of California or the statements that have been made by the governor and the mayor, you know, really criticizing the outrageous conduct by Donald Trump, the escalation of this matter by Donald Trump. Your law enforcement officer, you know, made it very clear that the protesters literally were confined to a couple of blocks in downtown Los Angeles. The curfew now covering one square mile, Los Angeles has over 4,000 square miles, over 4 million people.

[01:15:21]

And so when you look at the photos, it's a gross exaggeration of what's happening on the ground here in Los Angeles.

LEE: And, Areva, as you know, President Trump has justified the deployment of the military by describing the situation on the ground in L.A. as an emergency using language like insurrectionists. Local officials are disputing that description. Under the law, what would actually constitute an emergency?

MARTIN: Well, clearly, nothing that we've seen in Los Angeles today constitutes an emergency. The people on the ground, the mayor of Los Angeles, the governor of the state of California, they are closest to this situation. And clearly, if there was an emergency, if there was any need for extraordinary efforts like bringing in the National Guard or Marines, our governor and our mayor would be the first to call for that additional support. But it was very clear from the beginning that this was a very contained protest and that protesters have a right to push back on Donald Trump, on the policies of ICE and on the raids that have taken place. It's very clear that this show of force is designed to quell individuals rights to protest, their First Amendment rights to lift up their voices and to send a message to people throughout this country that if you oppose the policies of this president, as he has said, you will be met with even perhaps harsher consequences than what we are already seeing.

But it's really unfortunate that immigration and immigration laws are being politicized in this way and that innocent people are being caught up in these -- what are oftentimes illegal raids by ICE.

LEE: And, you know in a number of other areas, including on tariffs, the courts have already weighed in on some of Trump's emergency declarations, with some saying that he is overreaching. Do any of those recent rulings tell us anything about what we might expect from the legal challenge to Trump sending in the military to L.A.?

MARTIN: I think it tells us that in the majority of lawsuits that have been filed against Trump, those that have challenged his use of presidential powers, those lawsuits, by and far -- by and large, have been successful. So I'm very hopeful that the judge in this case at the hearing on Thursday will make a ruling that acknowledges the rights of the state of California to determine when there is an emergency and to determine when extra forces, if ever, are needed. I think has been well stated that we haven't seen a president override or overstep the authority of a governor since the civil rights days in the early 1960s. So again, Donald Trump totally ignoring what Gavin Newsom, the governor of the state of California and the mayor of Los Angeles, Karen Bass, have said are the needs of this state is unprecedented.

And look at January 6th, where we all witnessed real insurrectionists, a real mob attack our Capitol and Donald Trump refusing to deploy the National Guard in that situation. And in this situation in Los Angeles, these protesters, even before the National Guard was deployed, making statements about, you know, insurrection, using these inflammatory words about invasions, just again, blaming, you know, the fuel and making statements that were, quite frankly, not true about the situation.

LEE: All right. Areva Martin in Los Angeles, thank you so much for joining us.

MARTIN: Thank you.

LEE: Protests denouncing immigration raids and President Trump's immigration policies have spread throughout the country. Crowds gathered in New York City, for example, on Tuesday outside ICE offices and marched through the city to other ICE locations and an immigration court building. Police detained some protesters who defied orders to clear the streets. A law enforcement official tells CNN there were about 45 arrests in the city on Tuesday evening.

And frightening video out of Chicago where a car drove erratically through groups of protesters. Some demonstrators tried to follow the driver, but they never stopped and drove away from protests. And in San Francisco, a source tells CNN that protests are the reason two immigration courts closed their doors early on Tuesday. According to the Associated Press, there were multiple arrests during those demonstrations.

[01:20:01]

A curfew is in effect in a small part of Downtown Los Angeles right now. And still ahead, we'll take you inside the protests on another day of anger in L.A.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LEE: A show of support for immigrants in Los Angeles on the fifth day of protests in the city. Right now, a curfew is in effect and will last until the morning in a small part of Downtown L.A. In the last hour, we've seen police detaining some people who remained on the streets. Earlier, LAPD said they'd arrested almost 400 people since Saturday.

[01:25:04] A series of immigration raids triggered these protests. Those raids are continuing with National Guard troops seemingly in attendance. CNN's Nick Watt was in the crowds and he shows us what it was like on day five of the ongoing protests.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

NICK WATT, CNN NATIONAL CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): A flash of anger on a hot, tense afternoon. A bus pulling into the detention center was the spark. The National Guard holding the line, then a snatch squad out to make an arrest. Everyone ordered to leave the area, another arrest.

(SINGING)

WATT (voice-over): Plenty of peaceful protesters and local politicians also don't want the National Guard here or the 700 Marines deployed to LA but still awaiting orders.

ADM. JAMES STRAVIDIS (RET.), CNN SENIOR MILITARY ANALYST: These are the most experienced, highly blooded shock troops in the world. But putting active duty U.S. Marines into this situation I think is dangerous and they're not well trained for the mission.

WATT (voice-over): Mayor Karen Bass calls this a grand experiment.

KAREN BASS, LOS ANGELES MAYOR: If you can do this to the nation's second largest city, maybe the administration is hoping that this will be a signal to everybody everywhere to fear them, that your federal government that historically has protected you can come in and take over.

TRUMP: Very simply, we will liberate Los Angeles and make it free, clean and safe again. It's happening very quickly.

What you're witnessing in California is a full blown assault on peace, on public order.

WATT (voice-over): In reality, there has been violence, but it's been contained to a small area of the city.

BASS: The unrest that has happened are a few blocks within the downtown area. Having said that, though the violence and the damage is unacceptable, it is not going to be tolerated and individuals will be arrested and prosecuted.

WATT (voice-over): Sparked and sustained says the mayor, by ICE immigration raids and the fear they're spreading. One state representative called those raids dark, disgusting events, adding, "Los Angeles was targeted because they hate our immigrants for the color of their skin."

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LEE: Still to come, more on the protests over federal immigration raids across the United States. Our breaking news coverage continues next.

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

[01:32:50]

LEE: Welcome back. You're watching CNN NEWSROOM. I'm M.J. Lee.

More on the breaking news we're following out of Los Angeles, where parts of the city are under curfew now following days of protests against immigration raids.

According to CNN's team on the ground, several people have been apprehended by police inside the curfew area.

President Trump says the protests are part of a foreign invasion. Take a listen.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: What you're witnessing in California is a full-blown assault on peace, on public order and on national sovereignty carried out by rioters bearing foreign flags with the aim of continuing a foreign invasion of our country. We're not going to let that happen. We will use every asset at our disposal to quell the violence and restore law and order right away. We're not going to wait seven days and eight days and wait for a governor that's never going to call and watch cities burn.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LEE: And meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom says the president, quote, "chose theatrics over public safety" by deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles. He calls the federal governments involvement in the protests an attack on democracy.

(BEGIN VIDEO CLIP)

GOV. GAVIN NEWSOM (D-CA): This is about all of us. This is about you. California may be first, but it clearly will not end here. Other states are next.

Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault before our eyes. This moment we have feared has arrived.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

LEE: I'm joined now by Lindsey Horvath, L.A. County supervisor for the third district. Supervisor, it's great to have you. I know it's been a very hectic last few days where you are.

First of all, how is the situation on the ground tonight? Are things seeming any calmer that the past few days? And do you agree with the mayor's decision to enact a curfew?

LINDSEY HORVATH, LOS ANGELES COUNTY SUPERVISOR, 3RD DISTRICT: Well we just had an interfaith gathering out in Gloria Molina Grand Park. [01:34:51]

HORVATH: And it is clear that people want to see things calm down so people stay safe. But we're also protecting the safety of our community members.

And I know that Mayor Bass' intention through this curfew is to make sure that we are trying to bring some calm to what has been an escalated situation by our federal government.

LEE: And you've been quite clear that you very much object to the National Guard and the Marines being deployed to L.A. But have you been made aware of any specific instances of escalation or complications that have been prompted specifically by those deployments so far?

HORVATH: There's been taunting from helicopters. There has been, as we've seen, National Guardsmen come out and Marines come out from the federal building. It escalates and incites people to protest even harder.

I think the fact that they're being called in at all lets you know that this is not about safety, this is about power and domination. And at a time where people are suffering so much in Los Angeles County, we have seen the worst of the worst in 2025. To know now that we have to deal with this man-made crisis that puts our community members at risk, we just -- this is not what we should be seeing on our streets right now.

Right now, we need help and support and partnership from our federal government. And instead, they're sowing chaos in our own backyard.

LEE: And you know very well that emotions have been running high. You know, the reason that many of these protesters gathered in the first place is to demonstrate against the Trump administration's recent immigration raids in your city.

Just tell us a little bit about the impact that those roundups have been having on the L.A. community.

HORVATH: Well, they're intended to stoke fear, to silence people, to cause them to not even leave their home. And that's just disturbing for an administration that claims to care about families, what they are doing is nothing short of devastating to our families.

I've heard from my constituents who have said that, you know, before they leave the home, they show their children where their most important paperwork is in case they disappear and don't come home from work. We have kids who are afraid to go to school because they're afraid they'll come home, and their parents won't be there for them.

I mean, this is not what our families should be experiencing and how you want your children to grow up. We need to be investing in supports for our communities, not tearing our communities apart and pitting people against each other. LEE: Yes. And these scenes in your city have been unfolding now for

the better part of this past week. What exactly, Supervisor, needs to happen in order for all of this to end?

HORVATH: Well, what we need is for the federal government to stop escalating what is happening on the ground and instead participate in calming the chaos and helping us to restore the safety that our communities deserve.

Our law enforcement officials have been working incredible hours. They have been on 20-hour overtime shifts just because of these recent events, but they were facing all kinds of challenges before that.

We need to let our law enforcement officials do their job and not make the situation worse for them. This is exactly what we want to be happening in our communities, where our communities are stepping up and not the Marines, not the National Guardsmen.

I mean, it's just absurd to think that our president would turn our own forces against us at this time.

LEE: And you've heard, of course, some of the language that President Trump has used to describe the actions of these protesters.

I mean, you tell us, what have you seen on the ground in terms of the actions of the protesters? Yes, many have been peaceful, as you described right at the top. But obviously there have been some instances where there have been examples of violence and examples of unwanted behavior.

HORVATH: To tell you the truth, what I have seen has largely been peaceful. The escalation in terms of the energy that's present has happened when there's been an escalated, visible presence of the National Guard and of the Marines because we know that they aren't needed on the ground.

What happens then in the evenings is there are people who are using the cover of these protests to cause harm to our communities. And we don't need that either.

And so our mayor has enacted this curfew. We also know that our local law enforcement officials have stepped up their presence. Our sheriff is leading a mutual aid call to ensure that there is enough patrol on the ground, especially in our Downtown Los Angeles area.

[01:39:52]

HORVATH: But the more that this escalates by our federal government, the worse the situation is on the ground for everyone who's trying to keep people safe.

LEE: All right. Supervisor Horvath, we hope to stay in touch with you in the coming days. Thank you so much.

HORVATH: Thank you. LEE: Protests and rallies are spreading across the country in

solidarity with Los Angeles. In New York, police in riot gear arrested demonstrators who clashed with officers. Video from the scene shows some in the crowd throwing water bottles and other objects.

And in Chicago, tempers flared between police and anti-ICE protesters. Cameras captured several physical altercations between officers and demonstrators. It is not clear what exactly led to these clashes.

And we have this just in to CNN. Texas Governor Greg Abbott is deploying the National Guard to various locations ahead of planned protests there this week. We've already seen demonstrations turn to chaos this week in Dallas and Austin, where police used tear gas and pepper balls to disperse the crowds. Abbott says peaceful protests is legal, but harming a person or property will lead to arrest.

And even CNN reporters have been caught up in the protests. Still to come, a CNN crew captured the tense moments as police tried to clear the streets in downtown Los Angeles.

[01:41:12]

(COMMERCIAL BREAK)

LEE: Los Angeles police say at least 378 people have been arrested in immigration related protests since Saturday. Each day has brought tense moments as demonstrators face off with law enforcement.

CNN's Kyung Lah was on the ground and captured these moments as police tried to disperse the protesters.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

KYUNG LAH, CNN CORRESPONDENT: The dispersal order issue, they're trying to clear the streets. Just trying to listen here at the same time. And so the people -- ok, so we're going to move over this way. Watch out for the car. Ok.

We're getting the -- we're being asked to go behind the police.

Press, press. He's press. He's with me. He's with me. He's with me. He's with me. He's with me. He's with me.

(CROSSTALKING)

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I'm with them. I have my verification right here.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: He doesn't come through. You do. Sir. Go right here.

Are you grabbing me?

LAH: No I didn't.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Get away from me. Hey.

LAH: So wait. Ok?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: I need you guys to go over there.

LAH: Ok.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Come on.

LAH: So as you can see Jake. It's a little chaotic. So what they're trying to do is --

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: You guys keep walking.

LAH: We're going to keep walking.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Keep walking.

LAH: We're going to keep walking. And then I want you to take a look over here.

These are the officers in Suburbans. And then we're trying to weave our way through the next wave of officers. But you can see, I mean, there's press parked on the sidewalk because when today started, this area into the Metropolitan Detention Center was completely open.

Ok. I hear you, I hear you.

And so this is how the street is cleared. They tried -- the LAPD is creating a line to try to make the people who are protesting and demonstrating -- watch out. Come this way.

I think we're ok here.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Ma'am.

LAH: Yes.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Please. I need you to move, please.

LAH: Are you moving all this as well? Ok. All right. We're going to keep moving.

So, the issue has been --

(END VIDEOTAPE)

LEE: The U.S. and China have agreed in principle on a trade framework after two days of talks in London. Neither side disclosed any specifics yet. The presidents of both countries will have to approve the plan before it can be implemented.

It follows a phone call between President Trump and Xi and talks in Geneva last month. In May, both sides agreed to drastically reduce tariffs on each other's goods for 90 days to allow for negotiations.

Austria is reeling from one of the worst rampages in the country's history. Officials say at least ten people were killed in a shooting at a high school in the city of Graz on Tuesday.

The victims include teenagers between the ages of 14 and 18. Authorities say the suspect, a 21-year-old Austrian male who previously attended the school, also fatally shot himself after the killing spree.

CNN's Fred Pleitgen has more.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

FREDERIK PLEITGEN, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: Children screaming as the shooter opened fire inside this high school in Graz, shattering the quiet of this south Austrian town.

Police say they intervened only minutes later, hundreds of officers deployed to the scene. But the damage had been done. Many killed and wounded, some critically, evacuated to nearby hospitals.

Even as things calmed down, a heavy security deployment in surrounding streets. Panicked parents soon converged on a nearby sports center where authorities had moved students, trying to find out if their children were among the dead and injured.

This mother said she was lucky to hear from her son, who has a cell phone.

[01:49:50]

PLEITGEN: "I still cannot comprehend it," she says. "It's unbelievable when you're sitting at home and don't know whether you're safe or not."

The mass shooting, one of the worst rampages in this country's history. Austrians own more guns than most of their European Union neighbors, but gun violence here is relatively low, a fraction of the U.S.'s rates, according to the Small Arms Survey Research Institute.

And many are left wondering about the motive. Authorities said they believe the shooter, a former student of the same school who didn't graduate, acted alone and died by suicide in a school bathroom.

Two firearms were used in the shooting, this police official says, which were recovered at the scene. These weapons are now being forensically examined. The suspected perpetrator is believed to have possessed the weapons legally.

Austria has declared three days of mourning, with messages of condolences pouring in from all over the world after a rampage many in this country cannot comprehend.

Fred Pleitgen, CNN -- Graz, Austria.

LEE: A teenager in Colombia has been charged with the attempted murder of a prominent politician and presidential hopeful. Officials say the unnamed 15-year-old shot Senator Miguel Uribe Turbay at a rally in Bogota before trying to flee the scene.

Prosecutors say the teen suffered a limb injury during his attempted escape. He also faces firearm charges after authorities say they found a 9 mm Glock type firearm in his possession.

Footage showed the senator giving a speech to a crowd before shots rang out. He remains in critical condition.

A wave of explosions hit southwest Colombia on Tuesday, killing at least seven people. The blasts are believed to be part of an attack targeting the country's police. The army says it has intelligence linking the leader of a guerrilla group to the explosions.

STEFANO POZZEBON, CNN JOURNALIST: The southwest of Colombia was rocked by more than 20 targeted attacks across Tuesday morning. This wave of violence included car bombs, firearm attacks and the launching of explosive devices.

The Colombian police have confirmed that at least seven people have been killed. These included at least two police officers with dozens more people injured in at least two different departments of the country.

Authorities are blaming the violence on the Estado Mayor Central, or EMC, which is a rebel organization that refused to lay down its weapons during the historic peace process in Colombia in 2016. The group is still active in narco trafficking and armed revolution, and they have not claimed responsibility. CNN has reached out to them for comment.

This wave of violence took place only two days after Miguel Uribe, a prominent senator and a presidential candidate, was shot in the head during a rally in Bogota on Saturday afternoon.

Uribe survived the attacks but analysts believe that these two successive episodes on Saturday and Tuesday morning are a sign that the security situation in Colombia is deteriorating rapidly.

ELIZABETH DICKINSON, SENIOR ANALYST FOR THE ANDES, INTERNATIONAL CRISIS GROUP: There are certain types of violence in Colombia that are so symbolically connected to the history of civil conflict that when they've happened in recent years, it really does raise the question about whether Colombia continues to move forward or is regressing to that darker era.

We're talking about assassinations of candidates, kidnapping, and these terrorist-style attacks are yet another concern that in public opinion is sending a message that Colombia is returning to an era when organized crime had a significant hold across the country.

POZZEBON: The Colombian government has deployed troops, including Special Operations commando to the region impacted by the violence on Tuesday morning, with the President Gustavo Petro due to travel to Cali, the capital of the southwest of Colombia, on Wednesday afternoon.

For CNN, this is Stefano Pozzebon in Bogota.

LEE: The United Nations says the world is facing a fertility crisis and is calling for urgent action to address it.

A survey across 14 countries uncovered the main reasons why millions worldwide are having fewer children than they would like. They include financial limitations, job insecurity and fears about the future. Lack of a suitable partner and limited childcare options are also among the biggest reasons.

A U.N. expert suggested paid family leave, affordable fertility care and supportive partners could all be answers to the crisis.

The sale of a collectible behind a global toy craze set a new record at a Chinese auction house Tuesday. Yongle International Auction in Beijing sold a human-sized Labubu figurine -- Labubu figurine, excuse me -- for more than $150,000. The little toy monsters have been at the center of a global frenzy for the past year.

The Chinese toy company Pop Mart sells the figurines in blind boxes as a surprise until they are opened. The auctioneer says the mint-green figurine was the only one available in the world.
