With the meeting with Vladimir Putin. Arlette saenz is joining us. What do we expect . President biden made clear that an overarching message during this trip to europe will be ensuring that the u. S. Is shoring up its relations with allies while also putting adversaries like China And Russia on notice. Youll see that take place with that highstakes meeting one week from today when the president sits down with russian president Vladimir Putin. Just a few hours ago before the president left washington, d. C. , he told reporters what his goals for the trip are. Take a listen. Strengthening the alliance. Making it clear to Putin And China that europe and the united states are tight and the g7 is going to move. Reporter this is a carefully choreographed trip. At the start, the president will be focusing on those alliances. He will be traveling here to the Cornwall Area for the meeting with british prime minister boris johnson, as well as the G7 Summit over the course of the next few days. This evening when the president lands, hell be speaking to Service Members and meeting with Service Members and their families at Mill Den Hall Air Base closer to london. While the president is here at the G7 Summit, at the top of the agenda theyre expected to focus on things like climate change, Countering China and covid19. The president will be making an announcement when it comes to the global production of a vaccine. So many countries around the world are still trying to get their hands on vaccinations for their people. After the meeting at the g7, the president meets oneonone with the First Lady with Queen Elizabeth. Biden will be the 13th American president that Queen Elizabeth has met during her time as queen of england. The president will also head to brussels where hell participate in Nato And Eu summits. Once again trying to shore up relationships with allies. Then theres the critical meeting with russian president Vladimir Putin next wednesday. There had been debate over whether this meeting should actually take place. The president , believing that Facetoface Interaction is critical as hes trying to set the course for the relationship with putin going forward. Arlette saenz with the latest on the agenda. Joining me mats bootsian, Senior Fellow at the council on foreign relations. This Reporting Arlette just mentioned, there was some debate in the White House about whether this meeting should happen with Vladimir Putin. Do you think it should . Where do you stand . I think it makes sense. After all, we had u. S. President s meeting with leaders of the soef yet union even at the height of the Cold War when we were much more antagonistic than we are today. Theres no question that Vladimir Putin is an enter nationality criminal, but needs to be held to account. You have to have conversations with leaders of countries like Russia And China no matter how much you abhor their conduct. Its a way to signal Diz Pleasure Facetoface while also finding ways to work together, for example, reducing the nuclear arsenals of both powers. As long as we dont see the kind of appalling performance we saw from trump when he met with Putin In Helsinki of course, we will not see that. We wont see Biden Paying Homage to putin the Way Trump did. As long as biden stands up for american interests, which im sure hell do, i think its a good idea to meet with him. Here is what he just told reporters. Do you expect putin will be able to work out any kind of understanding with you on the cyberattacks . Who knows [ inaudible ]. Theres a lot, obviously, that stems down from the cyberattacks, the president saying its going to be part of the discussion. How much of a priority should addressing these cyberattacks be for President Biden . Theres no question that the cyberattacks have to be a priority because they have been very damaging to the united states. Theres a whole host of other issues where russias actions are also very damaging, in the way theyre continuing their invasion of ukraine, for example, in the way they continue to metal in politics in europe and the united states, or the Way Putin has backed his Ally Lukashenko in belarus after he hijacked a civilian aircraft to arrest a dissident. Theres a whole range of issues where russia is an international outlaw regime. I think biden needs to lay down the law to putin and make clear there will be escalating sanctions and consequences for russian misconduct. As we look at this is a big week as weve said for President Biden. Its not just his first overseas trip. When we look at the administration as a whole, Vice President harris finishing her first international trip and, frankly, being met with criticism on both sides. Our reporting is within the White House i want to make sure i get this wording correct the staff was quietly perplexed about how she answered questions about why she hasnt visited the border with mexico. Whats your take . I think she did fine. She could have handled the questions about the border a bit better. To my mind, its basically a Phony Baloney scandal. You have the right Wing Attack Machine led by fox and others, and they need to attack democrats for something, but they cant lay a glove on Joe Biden because he seems so innocuous and likable, so theyre looking on Somebody Else in the democratic party to beat up. Vice president harris as a woman of color is a prime target. Maybe one good reason she hasnt visited, shes not in charge of the border, not the secretary of homeland security. Her remit from President Biden is to deal with the Central American states and to try to get them to reduce their migration to the united states. Thats what she was doing when she was visiting guatemala and mexico. This notion she has to go to the border, its really this fox news concoction, but theyve had enough success blasting it out into the atmosphere that the Vice President certainly has to be able to handle those kinds of questions in a better way. Max boot, always good to talk with you. Thank you. As President Biden heads overseas, his agenda here at home appears stalled. Efforts to get a bipartisan infrastructure deal, hopes for a police reform bill, even Voting Rights Efforts also facing major setbacks. Cnn Correspondent Manu Raju joining us with the details. Where do the key agenda issues stand at this point . Reporter a lot of them are stalled and are on edge right now. This month will determine whether or not he can get much of his agenda through, whether or not it will fall by the wayside. At the center of that is a major Infrastructure Package. We did see those talks be with Senator Shelley Moore Capito abruptly scrapped last night. I just talked to her moments ago. She was somewhat critical of this new effort, a bipartisan effort to try to get a deal, suggesting it impacted her ability to get a deal, may have undercut her as she was trying to get a deal with the White House. Now, what the White House is focusing on is the new bipartisan effort to try to see if theres any sort of consensus around an infrastructure proposal. In talking to the key negotiators this morning, theres very clear how high of a hurdle it will be to achieve a deal that can get across both sides of congress as well as support within the senate democratic caucus. For one reason, Senate Northers are saying Tax Increases are off the table, and thats what democrats are demanding to pay for the package. Are you open to raising t taxes . Were not racing taxes. Tenday forecast thing we want to do in an Infrastructure Package is hurt the economy. As we come out of covid, we want to help keep the economy moving in the right direction. Republicans always say they want to modernize our infrastructure, they just dont want to pay for a thing. Reporter that last comment from chris van hollen. He represents a view of a number of senate democrats who simply will not go along with what republicans are talking about, how to pay for the package. Thats long been the sticking point. This bipartisan group is talking about repurposing money that had already been enacted under the massive covid relief bill. There are concerns from the White House about doing just that. Whether to get a deal and how to pay for it continues to divide the two parties. One key democratic senator who is part of that key negotiating group, john tester, he did confirm that Tax Increases is not part of what theyre discussing. He said hell give the bipartisan talks about a week, and if they dont reach a deal, thats when you can expect democrats in the senate and the White House to get behind a bill through a Budget Process that can prevent senate republicans from filibustering that. To do that, you need support of all 50 democrats including those like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema who are not in line at this point. Well keep you very busy, manu, is what that means. Polic violence can actually go to court, civil court and sue. Theyre talking about Police Departments being liable in civil courts. That will be a key compromise if they can reach. Still, erica, if a Negotiating Team can reach a deal, theyve still got to sell it to congress. That is also a high hurdle. That it is. Manu, appreciate it. Thank you.

A man caught on video chasing a Police Officer through the building is asked to be released from jail. Doug jensen says he was misled into taking part of the siege, deceived by a, quote, Pack Of Lies from qanon and former President Trump. Cnns Whitney Wild is live in washington with the latest. Whitney, what is going on . Douglas jensen was among the most visible rioters on January 6th. Hes seen on video wearing a Qanon Tshirt pursuing capitol Police Officer eugene goodman. Jensen claims he was misled into joining the deadly insurrection, that he was not part of any mob and came to washington from des moines, iowa, to observe the events of the day. He even argues he felt threatened by officer goodman. Joe Paterno Sen is being asked to be released from jail. His lawyer writes his mission was to eliminate pedophiles for society. For reasons he doesnt even understand today, he became a True Believer and was convinced he was doing a noble service by becoming a digital soldier for q. He fell victim to this barrage of internetsourced info and came to the capitol at the direction of the president of the united states to demonstrate that he was a true patriot. Prosecutors, erica, see this very differently. They say as the crowd coalesced into a violent mob, jensen was among the first people to push his way inside the capitol. Hes the latest Capitol Riot Suspect to express Remorse And Blame either qanon or the former president for inciting the violence. So far federal judges overseeing these Capitol Riot cases have not been swayed by this argument. Jensen has been charged with seven crimes including interfering with Police Officers, civil disorder, The List goes on. He has pleaded not guilty. Hes been in jail since his arrest in january. Theres a hearing scheduled for next week to keel with his continued detention, erica. There are a lot of defendants trying to say, look, theyre the victims here. Hes one of them. Whitney wild, Great Reporting as always. Thank you. Joining me abigail spanberger. If we pick up on January 6th, the Senate Report which came out on January 6th, you said we did learn about some of the failures in terms of Intelligence Communication and Security Failures at the capitol. We didnt learn about the Root Causes there. No mention of former President Trump. And we know this bipartisan attempt to learn more about what happened leading up to January 6th and on that day just failed in the senate. Is it your sense now that this ship has sailed, some sort of bipartisan effort or even a real desire to learn about what happened . Erica, i dont think thats an acceptable option. We have a circumstance and i was in the capitol on January 6th. I was in the House Chamber when we had to lock down the doors, get down i was there as i watched Police Officers put benches and tables in front of the doors trying to stop the insurrectionists from being able to break through the doors. This was a serious assault on our democracy. More than 140 Police Officers were brutalized, losing fingers, losing eyes. We saw deaths on that day, and there were people who, as they say, as mentioned in your prior reporting, were focused on digesting a Pack Of Lies and came to washington, as they say, at the urgenting of former President Trump attempting to stop congress from doing its duty. So while its important that we saw the first report, and this report about the actual failures that occurred on that day of January 6th in terms of an operational failure to keep the building secure, whats really important is understanding how we got to January Ofth in the first place. Its important to know the Intelligence Wasnt passed to all the people it needed to be passed to. When theres intelligence saying there are american citizens who plan on marching on the capitol. They think theyre doing it because they believe the president wants them to do it and they plan on stopping congress and terrorizing lawmakers, we need to understand what got our country to that point. Frankly, erica, if your roof collapses and someone says, well, there was structural damage. Of course theres structural damage. We need to know why that structural damage was there so we can prepare and ensure it never happens again. This is the very structure of our democracy. Its incredibly important that we understand the root, Root Causes that got us to that day. So how do you do that . What in your eyes would be the best path, and is there a bipartisan path to do that . As we know, if its not bipartisan, its going to be viewed in that light. Arguably it has to be nonpartisan, or it has to be bipartisan in terms of who is coming to the table. Everyone sitting at that table doing the review of led us to that point has to be committed to taking party out of it. It isnt what happened to democrats or republicans. Its about what happened to the american people and the american democracy. Certainly there are on going discussions about potentially a president ial commission, on going discussions about a congressional select committee. If theres a select committee for it to have the real the power that it would need, it has to be bipartisan, and it has to be bipartisan in that its not a group of democrats talking to a group of republicans. Its a group of americans who represent a broad array of political philosophy perhaps, but united in their desire to truly understand what led our country to such an unthinkable event, that we would see our fellow citizens conducting an insurrection, beating Police Officers and walking through the halls of the united States Capitol screaming hang mike pence. I want to get you on infrastructure as well. Youre part of the problem solvers caucus. We know you just put your own proposal, 1. 25 trillion, i believe. The Big Question and the big sticking point, as we know, is how to pay for this. How do you pay for that . Thats what we need, right . Absolutely. Erica, those conversations are still on going. I think many people across Capitol Hill have been of the opinion that we have to first agree upon what it is we are wanting to fund, and then have the next discussion of how we pay for it. Certainly i align with many of my colleagues and say we have to recognize the real need of paying for these major investments. Frankly, were looking at Making Record Investments in american infrastructure in our nation. I dont think theres a need for us to rush through this process. We should be focused and determined and informed by the president s proposal, certainly the american jobs plan, which is physical infrastructure and more expansive elements of our social infrastructure, and we should really drill down on what it is that we are putting forth in terms of the investments were making, and from there continue the conversations about how to pay for it. Those conversations are on going. As you might imagine, a lot of people have a lot of opsz and were working through them trying to come up with agreements that will be productive and useful and helpful to the biden administration as we move forward. I have ten seconds. So what youre saying is no timeline . Currently ideally the first step was agreeing to what we wanted to pay for. The second step is agreeing how to pay for it. I would say thoughtful, purposeful legislating doesnt always need to have a fixed timeline. Fair enough. We look forward to the updates when they come.

When its time to pay taxes, new reporting from propublica say the nations top 25 richest people pay nothing at all. An anonymous source sent years of stacks returns, among them warren buffett, Jeff Bezos and elon musk. Cnn chief Business Correspondent Christine romans reports. New reporting from propublica says the nations top 25 richest people pay little to nothing at all in taxes. The revelation after an anonymous source sent the publication years of Tax Returns from thousands of the wealthiest americans including warren buffett, Jeff Bezos and elon musk. We had to work for months on this to get it into a shape where we were satisfied that it was accurate and it was saying something clear. Take a look at Amazon Founder and ceo bezos. According to propublicas reporting, back in 2007 his wealth increased 3. 8 billion and paid nothing in federal Income Taxes, neither did Elon Mussing in 2018 and not a benny from soros between 2016 and 2018, and its all legal, thanks to u. S. Tax codes which focus more on wages as opposed to investments which are usually taxed at lower rates. Thats something billionaires like bezos can take advantage of, along with complicated Tax Loopholes and writeoffs. Propublica says while the worlds richest men in Wealth Group 99 Billion between 2014 and 2018, he only paid 973 Million in taxes, at a rate of less than 1 . If youre Jeff Bezos sitting on top of this wealth and getting richer by the day, that doesnt get transformed to income. You dont have to put that on your Tax Return until you sell your stock, generally. For buffett who has said in the past he favors raising taxes for the rich, his Wealth Group by 24 Billion between 2014 and 2018. The amount of taxes pay, 23. 7 million or just 0. 1 of his wealth. Buffet telling propublica Tax Codes should be changed substantially and huge dynastic wealth is not desirable for our society. The 25 richest americans were worth 1. 1 Trillion by the end of 2018. It would take 14. 3 million ordinary american Wage Earners do make that same amount of wealth. Any unauthorized disclosure of confidential Government Information by a person with access is illegal, and we take this very seriously. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki emphasized President Bidens proposal to raise taxes on the wealthy to help finance his spending plans. We know that there is more to be done to ensure that corporations, individuals who are at the highest income are paying more of their fair share. No comment from bezos or musk. Musk replied to the nonprofit publication with a question mark. A spokesperson for soros telling propublica between 2016 and 2018 George Soros lost money on his investments and, therefore, didnt owe federal Income Taxes in those years.

The country on average of fewer than 14,000 daily infections, 427 daily deaths over the last seven days. Thats according to data from johns hopkins university. Thats the lowest figure since late march of 2020. Some 42 of americans are now fully vaccinated. Nearly 52 of the population has received at least one dose of the vaccine according to the cdc. But there are threats that cant be ignored. One of those, the highly contagious Delta Variant. Joining me with more is dr. Anthony fauci, director of the National Institute Of Allergy And Infectious Diseases and President Bidens chief medical adviser. Dr. Fauci, always great to have you with us. When we talk about the Delta Variant, i know youre especially concerned about it based on what youre seeing happening in the uk, first identified in india. Its here. We know its here in the u. S. , peaking among young people in the uk. What is it right now that has you most concerned about its impact on the u. S. . Well, the issue is that even though were doing very well by the numbers that you mentioned, erica, which are quite true, that the numbers of cases are coming down, the vaccinations have gone up. Weve done very well with vaccination, we cannot declare victory prematurely because there is still a substantial portion of people who have not been vaccinated, and the situation in the uk is that they had as the dominant variant the alpha, the b. 1. 1. 7. The Delta Variant, The One you just mentioned that was particularly problematic in india, the 617 has taken over as the dominant infection in the uk. About 60 now are having this particular variant, and its been predominant among young individuals from 12 to 20. That variant is here in the united states. The data we have from the Uk Study is that the vaccines that are used, particularly the mrna vaccines used here in the united states, but also likely the J J, too. But we have more data with the mrna, doing very well at being able to protect against the 617, a slight to modest diminution, but nothing significant which means since this variant is here, about 6 of the isolates in the united states are this troublesome variant. You dont want to give it the opportunity to take over as the dominant variant, and we have within our power to do that by getting people vaccinated, because we have very, very good vaccines. Thats the reason why ive been saying we dont want to let happen in the united states what is happening currently in the uk where you have a troublesome variant essentially taking over as the dominant variant which has made it a very difficult situation in the uk. We dont want to be there. We want to prevent that. The way you prevent it is by continuing to get people vaccinated and not declare victory before were there. Another Couple Points on vaccinations. I know theres a real focus on this, 70 of adults with at least one dose by july 4th. Theres concern with the J J doses that are set to expire, not be used. Is there anything that cannot be done to move those around, make sure theyre not wasted, whether its going to other states or other countries. Maybe canada . The fda is looking at that right now, trying to determine if, in fact, the date can be extended or not, and if so, can we get them properly utilized, whether its utilized in the united states or elsewhere. This is something the fda is very much on and looking at it very, very carefully. Real quickly, before we move on to aids, because i do want to talk about that, 40 years of your work. As were waiting for kids 11 and under, as theyre waiting for the vaccine, in a conversation with a colleague, we were talking about the fact that kids are different sizes. If you give a Kid Tile not, you look at not just their age but their weight. I say this as a mother of an 11yearold who sometimes can be mistaken for a 12 or 13yearold. Right. When you do studies in children, you do whats called both an Age Deescalation and a Dose Deescalation study. So when you have children, you go from maybe 12 to 9, 9 to 6, 6 to 2 and then six months to two years. Also, when you get down to the low ones as weve seen with pfizer, theyre dealing with a dose thats considerably less. They started with 30. Theyre going down to ten and maybe even three micrograms in the very, very young children. There is a Dose Deescalation. By the time we get to the late fall and possibly early winter when we can have enough information do vaccinate children of any age, you will know that the dose will be suited to the Age And Size of the child. So youre not going to give a very young child the same dose you would give an adult. Great information for so many parents. For the last 40 years we just marked the anniversary of the first case of what is now known as aids here in the u. S. 40 years ago it was identified. You have identified so much of your career, and i would venture to say so much of what youve invested personally because i know how important this fight has been for you. As you look back at the last 40 years and where we are today, is this where you thought we would be in the fight against aids . In some respects yes, and in some respects no. Because, as you have any kind of an outbreak, as it evolves, you learn things that you did not know in the beginning. So, i mean, its been an extraordinary journey. I happen to be one of the few people who are still around active who were actually there from the very first days. I remember it so, so clearly, the first five cases from Los Angeles curiously of gay men. We didnt know what it was. Some of us thought it was a fluke. And then a month later, in july of 81, when we ladhas the 26 cases, curiously also gay men, not only with pneumonia and a strange cancer, that we knew we were dealing with a Brand New infection. It transformed and changed my entire career and my entire life. But from that, we went to the early years, which was dark years, erica, where you took care of people. You had no intervention. Because we didnt even know what the cause of this was. Then when we found the cause, we were able to do research to start developing drugs. And for the first few years, when you had no drugs and then one drug and two drug, and then finally when we had the combination of drugs, several years later, 1996 when we had the transformation of the treatment of persons with hiv. We went from something that was my dark years, the dark years of so many of us, where all of our patients died, to spectacularly successful therapy. So in the arena of therapy, thats been an amazing success story, not only in the treatment of persons with hiv, but in the prevention by pre exposure prophylaxis, which has been very challenging, has been a vaccine, because the body doesnt make a very good immune response against hiv. For that reason, its been very, very difficult to develop a safe and effective vaccine. Thats the remaining scientific challenge. But theres another challenge we have with hiv, and that is the implementation of the tools that we already have. We have spectacular therapy, very good pre exposure prophylaxis. Weve got to get that equitably implemented in this country and worldwide. The president s Urgency Plan for relief, started by president george bush, was a major step started by the global fund in getting some degree of equity by getting people in the developing world do have access to therapy. So there have been some spectacular successes, but still some challenges ahead. So we cannot just say, well, were finished with hiv. We have the capability of really putting an end to that outbreak, that pandemic, which is still on going right now. I believe we can do it if we put the effort into it. We know youre certainly putting the effort into it. So much appreciation for all the Work Youve already put in over the last 40 years. As you point out, still much more to do, and that includes keeping it in the conversation. Dr. Anthony fauci, thank you as always. Good to see you. Thank you very much, erica. Good to be with you.

They can clog tiny instruments and clog little sensors. Typically not catastrophic problems just a lot of buzz around the story, erica. Oh, you did. You went there.

At this hour britains Royal Family dealing with yet another controversy. Prince harry and Meghan Markle coming out to deny that they did not ask the queen for permission. What is Buckingham Palace saying . The report in the bbc effectively saying harry did not have discussion and ask permission to use the Queens Name for his daughter, and Hreul Lilibet is the queens nickname. The palace is not denying it, which is why people are seeing it as a true story, and theres only the Bbc Source on this and the palace not coming out to say its not true, and that prompted harry and Meghans Team to come out and say in response, the duke spoke with his family, and his grandmother was the first Family Member he called. During that conversation he shared their hope of naming their daughter lilibet in her honor. Had she not been supportive they would not have used the name.
