Rubella you never faithful sees the deals on top before theyre car. Shoppers thanks for joining us this good afternoon at any moment, President Biden is expected to hold his First Press Conference of the year, sharing the stage with japanese Prime MinisterFumio Kishida in the rose garden. These two liters or set to announce a list of new defense and Technology Agreements all in an effort to counter chinas emerging power in the indopacific. Cnns mj lee is joining us now live from the white house. Mj, tell us a little bit more about these points of cooperation that biden and kishida are going to unveil. Yeah. Brianna and boris. This visit by the japanese Prime Minister says a lot about a key feature of bidens Foreign Policy and that is strengthening the us alliances with countries in the indopacific with the goal of countering chinas strength and influence in the region. And thats going to be quite clear when we see the two liters emerged from this bilateral meeting and announced dozens of deliverables. And if you look closely a couple of those things at least get to this issue of countering china, for example, a further integrating the two countries militaries and strengthening the two countries defense, industrial cooperation. Theyre going to be a number of other announcements to that. Just get at the two countries potential areas of cooperation on technology, artificial intelligence, even space cooperation. And now, as with any two countries, there have of course been other areas of tension between the two two countries as well. We know, for example, that the president opposes japans efforts to purchase us steel accompany. That is based in pittsburgh. But interestingly, when a senior us official was previewing this meeting yesterday with reporters, they predicted that the issue probably would not come up because it two liters already know where the other stands on this issue. Now, one of the ways in which the white house is making clear that japan is such an Important Alliance for the us is of course, by hosting the Prime Minister as part of a state visit featuring, of course, the state dinner coming tonight. We know that theres going to be he all of the pomp and circumstance that comes with a state dinner. Theres going to be an ornate and decadent menu and decorations and entertainment that all pay tribute to the us japanese alliance. And also, i would be remiss if i didnt mention that in just a few minutes when we see the president come out with the Prime Minister in the road those garden. This is going to be the First Formal Press Conference that the president is holding this year. The last time that he had a form of Press Conference was actually back in december when the ukrainian president was here at the white house yeah. It doesnt happen very often. Mj lee. Thank you for that we are awaiting the Press Conference. You see the rose garden all set up there. Were going to bring that do you live as soon as it begins. But in the meantime, lets turn now to arizona, which is the latest state to turn back the clock on abortion policy. President biden and former President Trump are reacting to a ban on nearly all abortions that could reshape the Political Landscape in a crucial 2024 battleground state, the Arizona Supreme CourtRevivim A Law that dates back to 18 64, it bans abortion in all cases except to save the life of the mother one of the white house, putting out a statement shortly after this was announced, the president calling this cruel and extreme meantime, Vice PresidentKamala Harris is actually heading to arizona today. And now, former President Trump is in a bind because the day before this ruling dropped he took credit for killing Roe Versus Wade and said that abortion should be decided by the states. Today. Hes actually saying that states like arizona may have gotten it wrong. Cnns natasha chen is tracking the fallout here. Natasha Abortion Providers are now scrambling and republicans are scrambling to prevent backlash from this and boris and brianna, there is definitely a chilling and rippling effect, not just for the people of arizona, but also politicians who are up for election as you just mentioned, i spoke to eloise a lopez this morning. Shes the Executive Rector of prochoice arizona and the Abortion Fund of arizona that a group that helps fund travel for women who might need to go out of state for an abortion. Currently, they help women who are beyond 15 weeks to go to nevada or california, for example, for Abortion Services. She anticipates that pretty soon thats going to have to be all women because this ruling yesterday essentially makes it illegal to have an abortion except in cases of saving the life of the mother. Thats banning nearly all abortions. And while this ruling may go into effect in about two weeks, we anticipate theres going to be a lot of legal wrangling and a lot of confusion can she says already theyre having to clarify for people that Abortion Services are Still Available right now in arizona, but she does anticipate the clinic appointments are going to fill up fast, that there is a 24 hour waiting period as it is some clinics and may not be open all days of the week. Some may only have one provider so you can imagine theres going to start to be a little bit of that kind of panic. You see that map there, there are a lot of other states with restrictive bands. Were going to see if this one, how this one plays out already. Were seeing strong reactions from politicians including former president donald trump, who just spoke in atlanta on the tarmac saying that he will not sign a federal ban on abortion. Heres what he said arizona states right . Everybody else bring it back into and that will be taken care of. I think very quick so there you see trump believes that there is still more to come in this fight right now, the stay is for 14 days. If the parties want up to bring up further issues in lower courts, the person i spoke too with the organization Abortion Fund of arizona said to me it is angering, but this work is survival work for me. So there is a lot still to be debated and talked about, including that Ballot Initiative were a group is Gathering Signatures to Enshrine Abortion Rights in the states constitution that may appear on the November Ballot for arizonans natasha chen. Thank you so much for the latest stare. Lets talk about that way that arizona voters may soon have a say on abortion joining us now is dawn punish . Shes a spokesperson for area the zona for Abortion Access. The organization leading an effort to let arizonas vote directly on protecting Abortion Rights on the 2024 ballot. Don. Thank you so much for being with us. So this 18, 64 ban is set to go into effect in two weeks is there a legal or legislative avenue that could realistically result in a reversal or a pause in that span of two weeks there is some talk coming out of our State Legislature about some sort of repeal of the 18, 64 band. The governor, Governor Katie Hobbs has called for that, so we are definitely watching at very closely to see if thats something that our State Lawmakers will move forward in doing so, if that happens, then where exactly is arizona . Considering that when you i just want to say considering when you look at this ruling, though, what the Supreme Court was saying here was the issue with the more recent 15 week ban. They said was that it was hinged on roe v. Wade, which is obviously now irrelevant. So where would that leave arizona . So theres a possibility that if the 800s 64 band is repealed, then we could go back again to the situation we had on monday, which was the 15 week ban, which of course is nothing that arizonans can rely on as this as evidence of and so thats why we arizona for Abortion Access keep coming back to our measure to allow arizona voters to chime in on this themselves on the November Ballot. And that would be a constitutional amendment which would stop all of this backandforth and political game play and give arizona and some Peace Of Mind dawn. When will you have confirmation that it will actually be on the ballot are deadline to turn in signatures is july 3rd, then well move into a validation phase. There might be lawsuits from the opposition, and so by the end of summer, we should know whether it will be on the November Ballot, and i will tell you that at the campaign we anticipated all of this. This is all very standard in arizona for citizens initiatives. So confident that we will get through the submission deadline, the legal challenges, and be on that November Ballot for folks and are you confident that it will succeed . And if so, what are you basing that on two things really, we are very confident that arizona would be next in a long line of Abortion Access winds across the nation. I am out in the Community Every single well day. I can tell you from firsthand experience, very many people see us out there with petitions and come rushing over, thanking us for being there because they are so outraged even before this Supreme Court ruling at what has been done in terms of reproductive freedoms. But we also have many years of polling, including now in this this moment saying that arizona voters across the political spectrum, republicans and dependence democrats, support access to abortion. So we feel very confident that we will get this done in november don pennants, we appreciate your joining us and sharing your perspective. Thanks for being with this thank you. We are keeping a close eye on the podiums at the rose garden right now, because at any moment President Biden is going to deliver his First Press Conference of the year. He will be flanked by the japanese Prime Minister, and there are very important questions to ask both leaders. Were going to stay tuned for that and be right back after a short break.

Right, boris, this is about third attempt this week to try to delay this trial todays finally, theyre asking this judge, the judge here to have an Emergency Hearing and delay the trial so they can make arguments on two different fronts.
