BRIANNA KEILAR, CNN HOST: Many world leaders are vowing to address the devastating Amazon wildfires while they are at the G-7 summit in France. And in the meantime, celebrities, like Madonna, Leonardo DiCaprio, are calling on Brazil's president to do more about these fires that are raging in the Amazon Rainforest. CNN's Shasta Darlington is live for us in Sao Paulo. Tell us, because this is so important and we've seen some pretty interesting responses from him, how Brazil's president is now responding?</s>SHASTA DARLINGTON, CNN REPORTER: Well, initially, he was furious. Jair Bolsonaro, the president, was extremely angry, especially when French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted, "Our house is burning. We need to talk about the Amazon fires at the G-7 summit." Bolsonaro said, "Brazil doesn't even sit at the G-7 summit. This is a colonial mindset." And it plays into his narrative that foreign governments and foreign companies are using climate change as an excuse to get their hands on the Amazon. But at the same time, we saw him taking this a lot more seriously, admitting that it might not go the NGOs, as he said without evidence. He said the NGOs were lighting the fires to make him look bad. Now he's admitting it might be ranchers. And he called an emergency meeting of ministers last night, asking them and urging them to do everything they can to rein the fires in and even discussing sending the army in to help put out the fires. Two of Brazil's states that sit right on the Amazon have declared a state of emergency. And this is a huge area. I think everyone is admitting they could use the help, whether it's from the army or other possible sources. It's just too big an area to cover -- Brianna?</s>KEILAR: It certainly it. Shasta Darlington, thank you so much. We will continue to cover this important story. And just in, more upheaval at the NRA as the group fires more people. Plus, one Democratic 2020 candidate drops out of the race while another struggles to hold onto supporters.
