Hello and a warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the United States and all around the world. Whatever your geo coordinates, worry happy you are with us. Geo coordinates. Yeah. Just ahead on cnn newsroom the republican primary entering a new post Labor Day Phase, several campaigning throughout the weekend in New Hampshire. People spend a lot of time looking in the Rearview Mirror instead of focusing on what the American People are focusing on. And expected to discuss potential arms deals, the u. S. Urging north korea to cease negotiations with russia. Ken paxtons Impeachment Trial begins tuesday and it features some of the most unique legal characters in the state. Nonsense. It is definitionally political. Live from london, this is cnn newsroom with max foster and bianca nobilo. It is tuesday, september 5, 9 00 a. M. In london, 4 00 a. M. In delaware where First Lady Jill Biden will remain after Testing Positive for covid19. The white house says she is currently experiencing only mild symptoms. President biden has tested negative for the virus. Both are in delaware for the Labor Day Weekend and an official tells cnn there are no changes to the president s schedule at this time. Mr. Biden is scheduled to depart for the g20 summit in india later on this week. And as covid cases increase across the u. S. , medical experts say it is time to mask up again in public. I really hope that she is on paxlovid because paxlovid has worked so well. It does reduce up to 90 risk of hospitalization and even higher with death. Now, with first lady biden, the good news is from what we know publicly, she is in pretty good health for 72. And so that also goes in her favor. But i really hope that she is on paxlovid right now and masks in public. You know, we didnt see any masks anywhere especially in well, anywhere let alone our politicians and other people in other areas. But people over 65 probably should be wearing a mask when they are in public. Lab tests indicate that the new Coronavirus Variant may be less contagious than previously thought. And vaccinated americans should have some protection against it. Scientists say the new ba. 2. 68 variant is highly detec countries so far. And two groups of scientists have reported their results of their analysis. U. S. Senate will reconvene in the coming hours and the house returns next week. They will have to resolve major differences over funding the it wont be easy. October 1, but if they are t able to get on the same page, the country faces a government shutdown. And House Republican mike simpson tells cnn i tell people to buckle up, it will be crazy for september, october, november and december. Next four months are going to be wild. Both the white house and House Speaker Kevin Mccarthy are pushing for a short term bill that would fund the government until later this year allowing more time to adjust the broader issues. But it is not stopping President Biden from celebrating his economic policies since taking office. On monday mr. Biparden visited members of the local sheet Metal Workers union. Union members have been a part of his base for decades now. And he slammed Donald Trumps policies and actions while in office while trying to shore up his own accomplishments. He appealed to the Blue Collar Workers adding, quote, bidenomics is a Blue Collar Blueprint for america. In my first three years, all this stuff, guess what, i cut the deficit 1. 7 trillion. Cut the debt 1. 7 trillion. And one more thing. I was able to invest in you and still bring down the deficit once i started making people pay their fair share. Meanwhile some republicans challenging mr. Biden for president worked overtime this Labor Day Weekend. They spent the Holiday Campaigning in New Hampshire where the first president ial primary will be held in 2024. Jeff zeleny has that for you. Reporter the republican president ial primary entering a new post Labor Day Phase. Several candidates campaigning throughout the Labor Day Weekend in New Hampshire, of course a critical stop on the road to the white house. Iowa will vote first next january followed by New Hampshire. So several candidates were fanning out making their case to voters. Republicans of course independent voters as well. Also important here in New Hampshire. But it was former Vice President mike pence who made the case that he said the race is not at the end, it is at the beginning. I dont know about the rest of you, but i think labor day is when campaigns begin. And im here because i really do believe that different times call for different leadership. And i promise you ill continue to work my heart out. The banner of common sense conservative values, Strong National defense, American Leadership in the world, fiscal responsibility, free market economics, traditional values in life. There are some people that say those arent the values of the Republican Party any more. I beg to differ. I believe they still are. There is no question that former President Trump holds a Strong National lead and a slightly smaller lead state by state. But there is also a sense that Many Republican voters and certainly independent voters have open minds. Many want to turn the page from the trump style of leadership, others do not believe that he can win a general election. So going into the fall stages of the campaign, one thing is clear, this field of republican candidates is beginning to try at least to distinguish themselves, to differentiate themselves. Donald trump has not been on the Campaign Trail here in New Hampshire in a while. He will be returning to the Campaign Trail in other parts of the country this week even as he contends with his legal cases around him. But as we enter a post Labor Day Phase of the campaign, the question really is, is the race near the end or is it as mr. Pence said just beginning. Jeff zeleny, cnn, rye, New Hampshire. A u. S. Government official says noeskrth koreas Leader C Head to russia to cut a weapons deal aimed at bolstering the war effort in ukraine. New york times says the meeting between kim jungun and Vladimir Putin may happen this month. Back in july the Russian Defense minister visited north korea and paraded through its hall of weapons as the cameras rolled as you see. Lets go to Kristie Lu Stout in hong kong. These are two countries that probably need each other right now. Reporter yeah, for different reasons. This is what we know about this potential meeting. Kim jungun may meet with Vladimir Putin in russia, that is according to the u. S. National security council, and they are expected to discuss potential arms deals for russia to get more north korea weapons to use against ukraine. The typing of this meeting is unclear, but it was the New York Times that first reported about this potential meeting saying that kim could travel from pyongyang to meet with putin at a forum set to run this weekend starting from september 10 around the same time as the g20 in india. This is where the scene played out in 2019 where kim and putin met for the first time. And kem maim made that journey s famous train, the heavily armored green train. As for the new potential meeting, the times reports thatin exchange for weapons, russia wants technology for satellites and Nuclear Powered submarines. And this is following a recent visit by the Russian Defense minister who visited north korea in july along with a chinese delegation. And this is also after u. S. Officials said that the two countries are actively advancing their talks over another potential arms deal. Last year the u. S. And north korea delivered rockets and missiles to russia for use by wagner forces which is something north korea denied. Russia and north korea without a doubt their alliance is getting closer, they have been edging closer together. Weve learned the Russian Defense minister says joint Military Exercises with north korea are currently being discussed. And kim and putin have exchanged letters to each other pledging to boost the alliance and increase their cooperation. Back to you max and bianca. Fascinating. Thank you for joining us. And this more exposes well the deficiencies that russia we know has when it comes to artillery and other elements of its defense structure. But north korea has a lot of soviet weaponry themselves. But i think russia spends 4 a year on its defense budget, north korea it is about 20 , 24 . So potentially very Important Alliance for north korea.

Ivan watson, cnn, hong kong. Green hydrogen, blue economies and determination to make African Voices heard, all on the agenda at the Africa Climate summit in nairobi. African heads of state are making statements before a host of panels and presentations begin. Africa generates only a tiny fraction of the worlds Greenhouse Gases but suffer as major share of Climate Change impacts and Summit Participants say they want africa to have a central role in Global Climate decision making. Larry madowo is at the summit for us in nairobi. One of the objectives is to make sure that africa is seen as a destination for Green Investment and not just a victim of floods and drought and famine and climaterelated issues and also not a risky place to invest their money. Reporter thats correct. And you mentioned the tiny percent. Africa generates only 3 of Greenhouse Gas emissions, but the impact of the Climate Crisis here especially in marginalized and underprivileged communities is devastating. What leaders are hoping to is sell the continent as a place for climate investment, renew only Energy Potential here is endless, the carbon that exists here, the congo basin for instance which is a huge forest, these are opportunities that they hope can dangle in front of the world and say were not is being for a handsout, were asking for what were entitled to. I want to hear from some of the voices were seeing here from all across the continent. With me is a Climate Justice activist from cameroon. What do you hope to take out of this convening . Thank you so much, larry. Here were talking about green growth and it will happen on the ground. And what im hoping here is that the african leader as we meet will be able to make sure that the steps we take put africa first and that it has the aspirations of every africa. Reporter and we have john kerry here. What is africa asking for from the global north . America, european union, they are friends of africa, but we have to revisit our friendship. We feel that africa contributes very little to Climate Change but we are feeling the impacts most. And we think that this is the moment for the global north to take the risk for stability, to provide more finances, but most importantly to ensure that the finances they are providing get right to organizations and communities which are most impacted. Because as i said earlier, Climate Change will be fought on the ground. Reporter and you feel that the communities have a voice in the conversation . They dont have a voice. And so we are demanding for more Climate Finances but were saying that there might be an organized way to finance the climate actions. We must get actions on the ground and get local organizations leading this initiative. Reporter and tyou are one o them. Yes, im one of them and im so happy because impact on the ground, sometimes we have to represent the voices of the communities because they dont have thehe opportunity to speak for themselves. And so where i stand the impacts in terms of water, in terms of food, sovereignty on the communities. Energy.

Shes currently experiencing only mild symptoms. President biden has tested negative and there are no changes to his schedule at this time. U. S. Government official says kim jungun may meet with Vladimir Putin to discuss a potential arms deal. The New York Times says it could happen this month. In the day ahead, the texas senate is expected to begin the Impeachment Trial of the states Attorney General. Ken paxton faces 20 articles of impeachment over allegations that he abused his power to help a donor. Ed lavendera reports. Reporter just days before the start of his Impeachment Trial, ken paxton showed up at a rally to kick off his wifes state Senate Reelection campaign. Please welcome to the stage my husband, the love of my life, my best friend, Texas Attorney general ken paxton. Reporter the suspended Republican Attorney general was impeached on 20 articles, including charges of retaliating against whistleblower, abuse of power and bribery, as well as misconduct involving an alleged affair. Paxton used this moment to pound the theme that he is the kick tim of a political witch hunt. If you kind of kept up, you could read that im responsible for the Jfk Assassination and for 9 11 and everything in between. Reporter paxtons Impeachment Trial begins tuesday in the Texas State Senate and it features some of the highest profile and unique legal characters in the state. Paxton is represented by dan and tony, and they describe the impeachment as a driveby shooting. This was a sham. It was a sham from the getgo. To say will case is not about politics has the credibility, believability and the sincerity of the fellow that is trying to convince his wife that he goes to the strip joint for the food. It is not about the naked women, sweetheart, it is about the food. Nonsense. It is definitionally political. Reporter prosecuting the case against paxton are the Rusty Hardened who have worked the biggest cases in the state. A few months ago when paxtons lawyers ripped the impeachment process, cnn asked rusty harden to comment and he referred us to this classic scene from the 1992 joe pesci courtroom comedy my cousin vinnie. He says [ bleep ]. Reporter but the political stakes are sky high. In may paxton was overwhelmingly impeached by texas House Republicans, 12123. And paxton is vowing political retribution against those republicans who voted against him. Lets clean house. Reporter there are 31 State Senators, one of them is angela paxton, the Attorney Generals wife, but she will not be allowed to vote on her husbands impeachment. There are 12 democrats in the senate and prosecutors need 21 votes to remove paxton from office. The question is, whether nine republicans will vote against paxton. Veteran republican political strategist Brendan Steinhauser says it is not clear how this trial will play out. There is a lot of political pressure coming from all sides. This is unprecedented, so they are trying to do their constitutional duty, they are try doing the legally, morally, ethically right thing. They dont know what that is yet until they see the evidence. Reporter paxton has enjoyed support from donald trump and among republican voters. He is a great man. Reporter steinhauser says paxton is benefiting from dumps attack that the Justice System is weaponized against politicians like them. That alignment is important for paxton because it gives him Political Support among the grass roots voters and activists in the Republican Party of texas and it makes it more difficult for State Senators and State Representatives to impeach and convict him. Reporter when the Impeachment Proceedings begin on tuesday, there is a chance that the majority of the articles of impeachment could be dismissed by a simple majority vote in the texas senate, but it is not clear if that will happen. If the Impeachment Trial moves forward, it is expected to last several week. Paxtons lawyers say the suspended Attorney General will not testify but impeachment managers insist that they will call him to testify at some point. Ed lavendera, cnn, austin, texas. In the hours ahead sentencing hearing will resume for another leader of the far right proud boys. Enrique tarrio, the groups former Carehaer Chairman was cof Seditious Conspiracy in the january 6 attack. Prosecutors want him sentenced to 33 years behind bars.

Monday Volodymyr Zelenskyy traveled to zaporizhzhia and donetsk, he says it is important to speak to the fighters to hear what support they need and to find out what needs changing. And big changes are already under way. After mr. Zelenskyy dismissed Oleksii Reznikov at a critical time in the counteroffensive with ukrainian troops fighting off daily russia attacks, salma has been looking at those attacks. Still making progress slowly . Yes, if you ask ukraines military officials though, they will say that they are in a new phase. They have been able to pierce through the first line of russian defensive positions, these are believed to be among the if not the most heavily fortified russian positions. You are talking about deeply entrenched land mines that they had to inch by inch through Engineering Work and other work try to dei me mmine to get tow black seacoast. Very far from that still, but what we had seen during the course of the counteroffensive so far is really shaping operations, softening of targets. This seems to sort of be the ten of tip of the speer as Ukrainian Forces try to achieve the larger goal of cutting off supply lines to russia by reaching that black seacoast. Again were very far from that and i emphasize this is the first line of russian defensive positions in one area along those huge frontlines. But president zelenskyy was on hand to boost the more ral there. Take a listen. Translator it is extremely important to support our soldiers to talk to the commanders. It is very usual to hear from knows who go into battle directly. What exactly is lacking, what is already sufficient and what needs to be changed . Ukrainian military leadership will tell you that the key word now is consolidate, consolidate, consolidate. They are trying to expand and deepen the gains that they have been able to make to the south. The clock is ticking, this is a summer offensive, of course were reaching the fall when Weather Conditions will be more difficult and that pressure from the weather, from the allies who are providing billions of aid is absolutely critical. Salma, thank you so much for that update. When leaders of the Worlds Largest economies meet for the g20 summit in new delhi later on this week, they will arrive to a Neighborhood Uprooted gist for them. The houses of thousands of poor familiesgistfor them. The houses of thousands of poor families have been replace by Ornate Fntdountains and leaf green plants. We spoke to some who had been displaced. Reporter a bulldozer tears down this home in delhi. Helpless and distraught, she looks on recording. Her daughters just off camera try comforting her. Stop crying, mother, or you will fall sick, they say. This is just one of Tens Of Thousands who have been rendered homeless in the leadup to the big g20 meeting in delhi where Narendra Modi will want to be seen as the voice of the global south. When World Leaders arrive in new delhi this weekend, they wont he see some of the slums that would have been on their route. Instead what they will see is this, statues and fountains that are part of the governments massive Beautification Drive that activists say have displaced the poor. Almost three months after this mass demolition drive, we meet a woman. She is still as inconsolable do. She says they are hungry and have no place to live. They were homeless for almost six weeks. Very knew they were building in an unauthorized colony, but people have been living here for over 40 years now. Why didnt authorities demolish the homes earlier, why now, she asks. In a document submitted in court, the Delhi Government stated it intends to rehabilitate those impacted by the eviction in new homes but that hasnt happened. This Human Rights Activist says the Modi Government is showing no emergency in rehab bit dat a time the poor. It doesnt want poverty to be visible to people who come here. Reporter the Indian Government in july in a written response in parliament denied any links between the demolition of homes and the g20 summit. Cnn has reached out to both delhi and central governments and yet to receive a response. About 200 meters away from the g20 summit venue, they scavenge for any remainings. Everything was destroyed, she says. People say authorities have cleared out the settlement because of the g20 summit. She now runs a tea store along with her husband. Since june, they have been spending nights in this makeshift shelter. Were so angry, but our poverty makes us powerless. We cant speak up she says. Now plants shield the rubble. High walls have cordoned off the land where she once lived. Amidst the noise and grandeur, voices of the marginalized grow even softer. Vedika sud, cnn, new delhi. Very good report. Astonishing. And it is not the first time that we see that happening when people know that the worlds attention will be on their country. I mean, this is a particularly extreme version. Now to indonesia where the asean summit is under way. Top leaders are meeting in the capital jakarta. This is him a mitt rifts within Member States over restoring Peace Efforts in myanmar and other issues. For more, lets go to steven jiang who is live for us in beijing. The asean grouping has been criticized for being toothless when it comes to issues like myanmar or tensions in the South China Sea, china becoming increasingly assertive over recent days. Any evidence to suggest that this summit will be different . Reporter well, all of the issues you mentioned actually are overshadowing this such mitt as well. Myanmar a crisis very much ongoing more than two years after the military there overthrew the democratically elected government in a bloody coup. And then as you mentioned some asean members especially philippines and vietnam have long standing territorial disputes over the South China Sea and recent flareups for example when the chinese coast guard using Water Cannons to prevent the philippines from resupplying one of their ships there, and vietnam of course actually banning the movie barbie nafor a map reportedly. But then there is an issue of the dilemma faced by a lot of asean members given their close trade ties with beijing, their role and their choice in this increasingly heated u. S. china competition with tension still very much remaining high with beijing and washington. So it is against all of that backdrop i think the absence of u. S. President joe biden seems more conspicuous especially given mr. Biden in the past has usually attended the summit in person. That has led to people question the Bloc Relevance and washingtons priority in the region. The white house pushing back and pointing to mr. Bidens track record and also the fact he host most of the asean leaders just a year ago in the white house. In his place, Vice President Kamala Harris is going to jakarta and incidentally the chinese are also sending their number two leader. So a lot of scrutiny over the interactions between all of the leaders at a time when the asean leaders are trying to present an image of unity and relevance. Steven jiang, thank you so much. Still to come, barbie is getting serious box office competition. Well tell you which fell him is now the new number one in the u. S. man mm, hey, honey. Looks like my todo list grew.
