with russia or verjee, warn ukraine us president joe biden will unveil more than 300 new sanctions targeting russia. they meant to degrade moscow's ability to source materials for the war particularly from the russian ally china mr. biden is also expected to sign a new ten years security packed with ukraine on the sidelines at the summit. it'll include training for ukrainian forces more weapons and military equipment, and greater intelligence sharing. g7 liters is set to announce a $50 $50,000,000,000 loan to ukraine paid for with proceeds from russian investments which have been frozen since the war began. more now in president biden's agenda from cnn, senior white house correspondent, mj lee cuter in the coastal polio region of southern italy. the leaders of the so-called g7 nations set to convene on thursday, us president joe biden landing here late wednesday night for the final g7 summit of his first term. but questions loom large in the aftermath of his son, hunter's conviction on three federal gun charges, including whether the president would commute his son sentence. the white house on wednesday would not rule it out in a show of support for his son, biden spent the previous night with hunter and other members of his family in wilmington, delaware, in italy, a myriad of wadi and urgent issues on the world leaders agenda at the top of that list, the continuing russian assault on ukraine. now in its third year, biden, along with the heads of italy, the uk, france, germany, canada, and japan, preparing to announce a series of significant joint initiatives. the president pushing for a $50 $50,000,000,000 loan program for ukraine, which would tap into the interest accrued from frozen russian assets and a new ten year us ukraine security packed. the us also expanding sanctions on russia, targeting foreign financial institutions supporting the war, and russia's access to critical it technologies affair and other equipment. this year's gathering of world leaders kicking off almost exactly three years to the day after biden's first g7 as present in cornwall, england, you're united states is back biden's unpredictable predecessor, donald trump, after alienating the us in so many ways, had been replaced by a familiar american statesman pledging to restore and strengthen america's leadership on the world stage, we need someone to take office this time around, who on day one can stand on the world stage, command the respect of world leaders. >> but three years later, biden confronting questions about job just how much his big bet on repairing us alliances abroad has paid off key and other european leaders confronting resistance at home from the far right to remove are very conservative members we got it done. >> the possibility of a second trump term already setting off fresh anxiety in world capitals, even as biden insists that protecting democracies across the world is a noble cause, no matter the cost are chelation what not the answer 80 years ago and there's not the answer today will you, as republican lawmakers are getting randy's welcome former us president and convicted felon donald trump back to washington today as he tries to shore up support within the party ahead of the election although trump would not be entering you as capital building, it will mark his first appearance on the hill since the generous 6 insurrection. >> will than three years ago. and it will be his first meeting with top us senate republican, who he has butted heads with in the past family. >> you want to confront any of the bad blood between the two of you. one of the issues you had including over january i said three years ago, right after the capital was attack i would support our nominee regardless of who it was included him i've said earlier this year, i support him. he's been earned the nomination by the voters all across the country. and of course, i'll be at the meeting tomorrow. >> but all the senate republicans have been critical of trump, black mitt romney and lisa murkowski said, either they won't attend the meeting or they won't commit to being there us house republicans have voted to hold attorney general merrick garland in contempt of congress after he refused to release audio from interviews with president joe biden during the classified documents investigation garland said, it is deeply disappointed that the house republicans have turned congressional authority into a partisan weapon. more now from cnn's manu raju now along mostly party leinz house, moving ahead to refer the attorney general of the united states to be held in contempt charges. >> the vote 216 to 207, just one member defecting those republican david joyce of ohio, but what we saw in this fight was republicans demanding that garland comply with a subpoena. the subpoenas demanding audio recordings of an interview that a special counsel, robert hur, did with president biden over biden's handling of classified documents? of course, in that report for her released two months ago, it details how joe biden, respondents some questions, question about whether biden could have even been prosecuted over this because he believed the jury would view him as a sympathetic elderly man with a poor memory. now, there was a transcript that was released that democrats and the justice apartment believers sufficient to satisfy republican demands, but republicans, one of the audio tapes as well, something democrats believe will be used for political purposes. the justice department contended that releasing that audio tape essentially would impair the ability to go ahead and interview witnesses and separate investigations in the future, perhaps, goodness is would not want to come forward if they were concerned that audio would release publicly are released to congress. but even as this vote happened today, some republicans hold for prosecution of merrick garland, and even some said he should go to prison is merrick garland above the law i mean, i thought the whole argument is that no one is above law. >> now that we've held him in contempt of congress, he should be prosecuted by the department of justice and he deserves the exact same fate as peter navarro and see bannon. >> oh, everyone, department joseph's isn't gonna go prosecuting attorney general, but it's symbolic wouldn't call it symbolic. hold them in contempt. we'll see what he does. i mean, hopefully it'll look at this and see their evers ways but there's virtually no chance of prosecution of the attorney general of the united states in large part because this now gets referred to the us attorney's office in the district of columbia, which is under the justice department now, on top of that, the white house has a asserted executive privilege on those audio tapes. >> and the position of the water justice department's office of legal counsel. >> is that the if the president asserted executive privilege and in a affirmed that it was correct in this regard that essentially that is the correct position of the executive branch. >> so this is essentially a dispute between the executive branch and the legislative branch. and ultimately, if this gets resolved would have to be by the courts to determine whether congress has the right to that audio and have this plays out in the courts. it's could take months and months and months to resolve, certainly, after the november election. so ultimately that's how it could play out. but prosecution as republicans will concede, highly, highly unlikely manu raju, cnn,

involves people who are currently behind bars and claire sebastian joins us now live in london. good to have you with us closer. in some areas we've heard reports that russians outnumber ukrainians seven to so how would this mobilization from prison potentially change that well, as you said, under its part of the solution, the numbers that we're talking about right now and not huge. >> ukraine's justice ministry says almost 2000 men so far i have passed through the various checks and been officially released by the courts. that's out of some 5,000 almost 5,000 applicants. so if you think that for context, president lenski said in february that 31,000 ukrainian soldiers had been killed. that's by the way, less than half of the us estimate. this isn't necessarily going to move the needle, but it is part of the solution at a time when mobilization is intensely controversial. so we've got a look an inside look exclusively at how this recruitment is working. thank could think twice before coming to us as this battalion commander of ukraine's third assault brigade a really tough this is ukraine's newest effort to solve a crippling manpower shortage on its front lines, cnn gained

his wagner paramilitary group so-called meat it's grinder, assault on that cost thousands of lives were selected the best prisoners we have and those who will to participate in the mechanism we passed down through all legal and health care checks justice ministry says so far, the experiment is going well. my understanding is that their morale is far better than any other conscript, they receive good salary respect uniform better living conditions and yet for some of these men who may be on the front lines by the end of summer. >> this was not an easy decision those are preserved is because we've just learned the three machines that are set was scanner frontier john one hand is that hopeful from that prison pointed out when the situation on the front lines are extremely difficult for ukraine, but also at a time when mobilization itself as intensity controversial president's landscapes at the same time as pausing that law on mobilizing prisoners also tightened the rules around general mobilization, lowering the draft age, increasing finds for draft dodging and things like that, things that have fundamentally changed life for men in ukraine's and this part of it is less controversial, something that ukrainian people can get behind. >> and that is why i think this is something that the ukrainian government it out speaking about and wants to be out front with right. >>

friend of mine, jesse lewis, had yelled at us to run and that's what we did we sectioned ourselves into the cubby area, which is kind of like an indent. so from the door were absolutely hidden. >> i remember feeling like i was endangered. ama remembers bumping into the gunman in her room rush to get out. the boy who yelled to her and others to run. jesse lewis was fatally shot on the spot. >>

than a decade after 20 of their classmates who are age just six and seven at the time in six staff members were killed what's changed in terms of gun policy since then i mean, for a long time, many people thought after sandy hook happened that nothing could change in the us, but amazingly after you've all day something did change. >> we pass the first federal gun leinz, 30 years, and we're already seeing the results of that after the passage or la we've seen just recently, the fbi came out with a report that said this quarter this past quarter of 2024, that the murder rate is down over 20% in comparison to the year prior and that law passed after you've all dade also put billions of dollars into mental health programs and also into violence intervention programs aimed at stopping people from wanting to pick up a gun in the first place. is it enough are there still school shootings that happened? or there's still instances of gun violence? yes. there are. but we have to acknowledge there is progress being made because it's hard. frankly, it's hard to talk about the shooting that doesn't happen, but we know that there have been over 500 people since uvalde that have not been able to purchase semiautomatic rifles because of the passage of the safer communities act it has been progressed, but obviously much, much more needs to be done. you've of course survived the largest high school shooting in american history. you became a compelling voice. obviously calling for ways to end gun violence, but we know in recent years, guns became the number one killer of kids in the united states, more than car accidents more than a cancer. will the drownings. no other comparable country has this problem? what do you see as the biggest hurdle honestly, i think the biggest hurdle that we have right now is that filibuster in the senate that has made it so that even when you have a majority in the senate you may not be able to actually govern or pass most legislation because you need 60 votes. >> and to me that's not can we really you know? it brings up questions of how much we can really call ourselves a democracy if when the majority has power, they can't actually use it to pass things. and i would really say overall it's not even one policy. it really is just the filibuster being in the way that prevents us from doing things are repealing the immunity protections that the gun industry has through things like plaka that stops them from being sued or passing universal background checks or other policies that are supported by the vast majority of the american people. if you have a majority in the senate, you should be able to pass a bill of course, you once we're on twitter, people call us snowflakes and you added what happens when snowflakes void? >> that's called an avalanche. this of course is an election year how big of an issue should this ban? how can vote is make a difference i mean this has to be one of our top issues and we've seen the precedent making it one of his top issues, just the other day, he was openly talking about the need to ban assault weapons, like the ones used in parkland. >> do you've all day a sandy hook, el paso? just so many other countless shootings and he's boldly leading on it. he's passed from the best of my knowledge most executive actions of any president before to address gun violence. and he also in collaboration with march for our lives and our partners helped create the office of gun violence prevention that i spent several years working to create since i was a freshman in college and in the time since you've seen that off as work to implement pieces the state for communities act to make sure that states are actually using the money that has been allocated to them to help prevent gun violence because it doesn't just matter if you pass a law and matters how that law is implemented. and we're seeing great progress being made on that and just finally, would you consider running for office i think if that was the last thing i want to do, everything i can before that to help grow the power of people young people, running in the movement because this isn't about me, this is about a movement, right? >> this is i've all trying to make sure that we have as many people like congressman maxwell frost out there as possible, which is why, in addition to what i do with march for our lives, i now run a pack and super pac called the leaders, we deserve that helps support young people running for state legislature and congress. and just recently our first elected candidate and darius clark was running in the most competitive race in virginia for the state legislature. he secured that seat with eight under goats, any one democrats got one seat majority in that house i got to go down and lobby and testify in some of these committees. and one of them that are candidate and address clark chairs is the public safety and guns committee in firearms committee and i got to see him on the spot because that one seat majority kill a bill to arm teachers and he introduced a bill to provide tax credits to gun owners for gun safety and gun locks that received wide bipartisan support. and actually was signed into law by the republican governor in virginia as one of the only pieces of gun safety legislation that actually passed this year. >> david, how are you and your
