preferred better science, better results. >> the cnn presidential debates, june 27th at nine live on cnn and streaming on max it's merrick garland above the law. i mean, i thought the whole argument is that no one is above lot this is such a monumental day we all can feel what we've lost. it's been nearly 12 years since a gunman entered sandy hook elementary school, killing 21st graders and six educators a 21 gun salute hails the arrival of the russian frigate gorshkov in havana harbor. and an old cold war alliance against america is required kendall live from london. this is cnn newsroom with max foster hello, a warm welcome to our viewers joining us from around the world. by max foster, it is thursday, june the 30th, 9:00 a.m. here in london. turn em in southern italy where the fifth annual g7 summit is set to kick off next hour with a major focus on russia and its war in ukraine. us president joe biden will unveil more than 300 new sanctions targeting russia. they're meant to weaken moscow's ability to source materials for the war, particularly from russian ally china. mr. biden is also expected to sign a new ten year security packed with you crane on the sidelines of the summit, they will include training for ukrainian forces, more weapons and military equipment, and greater intelligence-sharing and g7 leaders are set to announce of $50 billion loan to ukraine paid for with proceeds from russian investments we should be frozen since the war began, live now to cnn's senior white house correspondent, mj lee, traveling with the president. so what do you expect the big headline to bmj? >> well, max president biden certainly has a packed day ahead of him as the g7 gets underway, including the ceremonial aspects of kicking off the summit, summit a meet and greet with prime minister meloni of italy. they are going to pardon dissipate, of course, and that working group photo that is so famous when it comes to the g7 summit. and then followed by a number of working sessions throughout the day. but you're right that in the evening, president biden is going to be signing this security pact with ukraine that will be so symbolically significant this is an agreement that came to be after months of negotiations between the two countries. and what it would do is commit the us for ten years to things like training ukrainian armed forces cooperation when it comes to production of military equipment intelligence-sharing, military assistance. but as symbolically significant as this path is going to be particularly given the moment that we're in with the war now in its third year. >> and with russia gaining some games, making gains out rather in the battlefield recently, it is important to note that there is a huge asterisk when it comes to this packed and it is that it is not officially binding it for future presidents of the us after president biden is out of office. >> and if that happens in november, obviously there are us elections coming up a different president, like say, donald trump could decide to undo this packed and i think that reality is one that world leaders are going to be particularly sensitive to. a good reminder that really everything could look very different at next year as president biden embarks on this final g7 of his first summit it's a good reminder that it comes just three years after the first g sound that that he attended as president then and back then, us officials had talked about how there was a lot of relief for world leaders seeing somebody who was talking about reinstating the us is leadership on the world stage. and i think president biden, as he kicks off this 50th he seven summit. he's going to confine questions about how successful he has been. when he looks back on that pledge that he made three years ago of making sure that he is strengthening and building upon those us alliances that a lot of world leaders thought had been we can by former president donald trump, max mj, lee, and southern italy. thank you so much for that will be with you throughout the day is all about, unfolds the war in gaza also looming large over that g7 summit. us secretary of state antony blinken travel to italy from the middle east, where his latest diplomatic push failed to secure a ceasefire deal between israel and hamas blinken left the region frustrated over numerous her mass changes to the proposal and he questioned whether hamas is proceeding in good faith. but he said work, we continue to try to bridge the gaps between the two sides are lehman joins us now from tel aviv and blinken seems to be very much think the ball in hamas is caught at this point absolutely. >> secretary of state antony blinken wasn't looking for a breakthrough while he was here. he wasn't in the region all that long, several days, but he was clearly trying to lay the groundwork for an area to move forward. and the question is, how large is that area now, if it even exists or has this fallen apart where it has so many times before in the details, secretary of state anthony blinken when he spoke here as he moved through the region egypt, israel, jordan, and qatar made it clear that from the us perspective, the ball is in hamas's court. israel is on board with a ceasefire proposal and hostage deal on the table. and now it's a question of getting hamas to agree he openly questioned whether hamas was negotiating in good faith, saying they had shifted positions to which they'd already agreed to. now we did say in the response, they finally gave 12 days after president joe biden publicly backed a proposal. there were numerous changes in his words some were workable, some are not. and it's that some are workable that gives a window here to try to move forward, to try to get to some agreement and he and his country counterpart said they would work to try to bridge those gaps and make this happen israel, however, view tomas is response as a rejection of the ceasefire proposal on the table. meanwhile, in an updated response from hamas just a short time ago, they said they had shown the necessary positivity to move forward with negotiations with the process here. and instead said, blinken should put pressure on israel pointing out that israel's leaders i have not publicly stated and openly stated their commitment to the ceasefire proposal that's on the table. if you look at the situation, it looks like this process may have once again fallen apart even though this time, at least in theory, it has backing from the un security council resolution that passed with 14 in favor. and only if i'm not mistaken, russia abstaining the hope was that that sort of international backing would help get this over the line. and yet this falters on the point where it has many times before and it's that israel wants to see the war continue. its ability to continue you, it's campaign in gaza, whereas hamas wants to see a ceasefire proposal that brings a permanent end to the fighting and that is a gap that nobody has been able to bridge yet or un until the thank you for that. get to washington now and a houseboat led by republicans to hold the us attorney general in contempt of congress at issue merrick garland's refusal to release audio recordings of an interview with president biden during the investigation into his handling of classified documents, garland called the content vote deeply disappointing. cnn's manu raju has the details 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 206 tina 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 subpoena demanding audio recordings of interview that a special counsel, robert hur, did with president biden over biden's handling of classified documents? of course, in that report that her released months ago details how joe biden responded some questions, question about whether biden could have even been prosecuted over this because he believed the jury would view him as the sympathetic elderly man with a poor memory. now, there was a transcript that was released that democrats and the justice department believe are sufficient to satisfy republican demands. but republicans, one of the audio tapes as well, something democrats believe will be use 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 witnesses would not want to come forward being if they were concerned that audio would release publicly are released to congress. but even as this would vote happen 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 the law. now that we've held him in contempt of congress he should be prosecuted by the department of justice and he deserves to 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 a symbolic wouldn't call it. hold them in contempt. we'll see what he does. i mean, hopefully it will look at this and see their overs 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 apartment. now on top of that, the white house has asserted executive privilege on those audio tapes. and the position of the justice department's office of legal counsel. is that the if the present a asserted executive privilege and the name? 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, it would have to be by the courts to determine whether congress has right to that audio. and if this plays out in the courts, it 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 republicans will concede highly, highly unlikely manu raju cnn, capitol hill us republican lawmakers are getting ready to 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 november election, although trump won't be entering the us capitol building, this will mark his first appearance on the hills since the january 6 insurrection. more than three years ago and it will be his first meeting with top us senate republican mitch mcconnell who is butted heads with in the past. but other senate republicans who have been critical of trump's, such as mitt romney and lisa murkowski either said they wouldn't attend a meeting or wouldn't commit to being there now the former special prosecutor and the georgia 2020 election subversion case says he believes trump will absolutely be put on trial even if he wins. the white house right now. the case remains indefinitely postponed after a senate appeals court agreed to take up the defendants push to disqualify fulton county district attorney fani he willis. she's accused of having an improper relationship with former special prosecutor, nathan wade, who has since resigned from the case. the appeals courts pause, makes it highly unlikely that a trial would happen before the november presidential election. weighed, spoke to cnn's kaitlan collins about the case and what it would mean to potential the prosecute a sitting president if trump wins the election in the district attorney next spring when this, when this does go before the court of appeals is not disqualified from that, is it constitutional for a district attorney to put a sitting president? >> on trial? and if he's convicted in jail, potentially so let's let's look at the question in reverse are you asking me if there's anyone who's above the law at any point in time in their life? no, but i don't think it's been litigated about a sitting president of course, going on trial. we have never seen that, never seen it, never expected to see it which is why a lot of the questions about experience and that one has ever done this before. no one, this is, this is a new animal. but if if, if he wins the election, then certainly there are a lawyers out there who will be charged with figuring out that issue and maneuvering around it? >> now, more heavy rain and more flooding expected in south florida for a third day in a row, the life-threatening flooding prompted the government

ukraine, us attorney general merrick garland is accused of is accusing house republicans are turning that congressional authority into a partisan weapon. it comes after they held him in contempt of congress for not releasing audio from interviews with president joe biden during the classified documents investigation us secretary state antony blinken is in italy for the g7 summit arteries, latest

powell says that whilst inflation pressures have 0s, the fed wants to see even more progress. the key phrase remains, and that is data dependency we want to gain further confidence certainly more good inflation readings will help with that. i'm not going to be specific about how many because really it's going to be not just the inflation rating readings, it's going to be the totality of the data what's happening in the labor market, what's happening with the balance of risks? what's happening with the forecast, what's happening with growth? you look at all of that and you ask, are we confident have we reached an appropriate level of confidence that inflation is moving down sustainably of 2%. or alternatively, do we see really unexpected signs of weakness in the labor market that would call for a reason spots. >> house comments coming off to an encouraging new read on us consumer inflation annual price growth easing slightly to 3.3% in may, but inflation is still remains firmly above the fed's 2% targets. now, shades of the cold war, of the coast of cuba, a group of russian navy ships, including a nuclear-powered submarine, have arrived in havana just about 90 miles or 140 kilometers from the us. they made quite an entrance firing off a 21 gun salute, which was then answered by the cubans with cannon fire it's the biggest show of force between russia and cuba in years. and it comes as tensions between the us and russia already high over the war in ukraine more now from cnn's bryan todd 21 gun salute hails the arrival of the russian frigate gorshkov in havana harbor, and an old coat good war alliance against america is rekindled a group of russian warships, including the gorshkov and the nuclear-powered submarine the cousin, have been deployed to cuba. >> these are russia's most modern naval weapons systems that they're deploying very close to the us coast a us official tells cnn, there are no nuclear weapons sends a boar, but russia's military says the flagship of russia's northern fleet is usually equipped with hypersonic zircon missiles designed to fly it nine times the speed of sound. it has a range of 1,000 kilometers or 620 miles, and it can attack targets that are onshore. they can attack targets at sea. it can do major damage on the way there as they crossed the atlantic, according to the russian defense ministry, these vessels practice using high precision missiles on simulated targets all covered by russian media. >> and overall show of force from vladimir putin meant to send a message, don't mess with me because i can do more. i have friends in your hemisphere. he's trying to obviously demonstrate that he has power to mess with united states the move comes soon after the the us allowed ukraine to use advanced american missiles to strike on russian soil if it's near the border, what's making putin upset is that with this new permission to the ukrainians, they can actually do some real damage. >> so he's mad putin's threat easley, i knew postalveolar if the west supplies weapons to the war zone and cause for the use of these weapons against our territory. then why do we not have the right to do the same? to mirror these actions suddenly the veil is torn from the russian city in 1960 to russia did just that secretly building basis in cuba and delivering nuclear capable missiles. >> a high-stakes crisis that ended only after a tense american blockade of russian ships on the high seas. the us shadowing russia's ships, downplaying the threat, but preparing for more russian muscle flexing it's certainly one come as a surprise to us if we see more activity around the united states. >> one analyst warns about possible future tensions on america as doorstep. >> if vladimir putin wins in ukraine he will be emboldened and he will be in our hemisphere, and he will not just visit cuba or other places where he is friendly friendly governments. >> you will actually ask for a base there we'll stay. >> it's possible that vladimir putin may not even be finished with this particular mission. the analysts we spoke to said it's possible that these russian warships will go from cuba to venezuela. another russian ally causing headaches for the us in the region bryan todd, cnn, washington well, native defense ministers are gathering in brussels for a two-day meeting of the ukraine defense contact group. >> this comes just after mater chief jens stoltenberg announced the military blog would take over the coordination of arms deliveries from the united states to ukraine he says he expects the defense ministers to approve that plan. stoltenberg also wrapped up a visit with hungarian prime minister viktor orban in budapest mr. orban saying that his country would not block nato decisions on giving support to ukraine in return, he says, stoltenberg promised the hungry would not have to provide funding for assistance to kyiv meanwhile, ukrainian expected to get about $50 in a new loan from its g7 allies. their leaders. a meeting in italy this morning and the announcement could come within hours. claire sebastian joins me now with just explain where this money is coming from this something that has been in discussions for months, if not really, almost all of this now, almost two-and-a-half year old war is because as politicians have seen, the level of funding needs of ukraine go up, the level of fatigue among their politicians also go up. >> they've looked to these frozen russian assets. you remember that the beginning of the war there was this major sanction, almost unprecedented that came in well, the west froze russian central bank assets some 300 billion of them that are sitting mostly in europe a little bit in the united states. so the question arose, what to do with them? can you take them and essentially send them to ukraine that turned out to be a red line. there's issues around custody of sovereign money that was seen. this certainly by belgium where the bulk of these assets that's in europe allocated to be crossing the rubicon that would have implications for international law. and all of that. so the thinking now is that they're going to use the proceeds on these assets. they're generating interest essentially, to secure a loan for ukraine. this is sort of financial engineering that's been happening. the us, according to a french source, would provide the bulk of that loan and some of it would also come from europe. and the idea is to get it to ukraine as quickly as possible by the end, according to this french source of 2024 and three, so it's now seems to be moving pretty quickly towards a resolution 50 billion, a pretty game changing amount of money. but overall, of course, the bill for reconstruction has been estimated at almost half 1 trillion. so this sorrows i think just how much and just how fast as money as just to clarify, this isn't taking russian assets out of accounts and handing it over to ukraine. >> know this is a loan that will be backed by the interest on those assets. so that is the sort of work around that they found to avoid frame would have to repay it at some point well, i think that that is semantic. you'll remember that at that a bit of the us at those package does alone, but it's unlikely given that of course, if, if and when this war ends, russia would be on the hook for reparations. so i think that's the sort of long-term thinking that but g7 this year it's interesting, isn't it? because ukraine obviously middle east is going to come into the debate. but in terms of decisions is going to be about ukraine and russia. but you have got the leaders key leaders uk, france, us making big decisions when they're also in the middle of an election, i might not be there to see them through how much of this is going to happen yeah. >> i mean, i think you do get a sense that the rhetoric, certain even the western side has really been stepping out. this is of course biden coming back to europe just three days after we last saw him here with those major sort of pledges of support for ukraine we saw at the d-day celebrations, there is a sense i think that they're trying to future proof ukraine aid certainly if we see a change of the garden, the us we see with the sanctions that have come in with this loan backed by russian assets and the discussions around a long term pledge by nato that could be rubber stamp. at that meeting in july, i think that will be the part of the backdrop here. >> okay. claire, thank you so much by the european union has imposed provisional new tariffs on electric vehicles imported from china, us after an investigation found that chinese state subsidies for ev makers keep their prices unnaturally low and hurt european carmakers you tara spike, do a sharp rebuke from china, which sees europe as a vital and growing market for its auto industry. let's bring in cnn's beijing bureau chiefs, even jiang, we saw a similar thing with a the us, didn't we? so these are basically a lot of the west it's no longer going to be the market it was for china that's right, but the backs of the difference is when president biden announced the us terrorists, hundred percent, i'm chinese evs you realize the chinese evs have almost no presence in the us market, but they have 20% market share in the us. >> that's why this decision by brussels may actually have some real impact now, the european economies and the many of the country's auto industry is actually a lot more entwined with the chinese evs sector compared to their us counterparts. germany, for example, their auto suppliers, they're carmakers have a huge presence here, not only just selling cars and parts, but also making evs here cheaply efficiently before sending them back to their home markets. so that's why people think there were a lot more real concerns and fears from europe about potential chinese retaliation is of course that's something that have been promising for weeks and months and reiterated again, after the decision was made yesterday. now, we have heard german chancellor scholtz and the likes of volkswagen already coming out publicly to oppose these new tariffs that obviously plays a while into the chinese playbook of divide and conquer in dealing with the eu. but the bigger question here is whether now these tariffs, what even be effective, the biggest chinese ev maker byd for example facing a new tariff, potentially 17%. but a lot of experts say it has to be something around 50% to actually affect byd's ability to maintain a comfortable profit margin in the us. so that's why now all eyes are on beijing to see what they what do after months of threads. they may want to may have to do something if this decision becomes final, but they may want to exercise some restraint to kevin how complex and nuanced picture is in the u max in terms of the clarity about these subsidies being paid to chinese companies, i mean, just clarify that because is seen as very unfair. the support that chinese companies are given when you look at it from a us, european perspective. but then western comic has also received some support in there yeah, what a chinese government, of course, never acknowledged that they say that everything they do is in compliance with trade regulations and their own laws and they'd of course, insist these new decisions by the eu and us are not based on fact acts. >> and if anything, they're calling them protection is to move zen and not only hurting american, european consumers and industries, but also making a mockery of the west supplies to transform their economy in a more greenway. so that is the line they're going to insist on. and that's why they have been saying the same thing. again, valine four all taking all necessary measures to protect their industries and interests max, saving junk in beijing. thank you. so let's come after more than a year away from fans jim of k pops, bts marks the end of his
