Around the world. Im bianca nobilo. Im max foster joining you live from london. Just ahead on cnn newsroom. Americans deserve a competitive federal government that can pass a budget. Were pro keeping the government open. Translator ive decided to replace the Minister Of Defense of ukraine. The Ministry Needs New approaches and other formats of interaction in both the military and society as a whole. Its just really thick, dense mud. We dont expect this kind of rain. And the effect, nobodys ever seen this kind of effect in there ever. Live from london, this is cnn newsroom with max foster and bianca nobilo. Its monday, september 4th, 9 00 a. M. Here in london, 4 00 a. M. In washington where u. S. Senators are set to come back from their august recess to try to broker a deal to avoid a government shut down on october 1. House of representatives dont come back in next week, but the clock is already ticking to get on the same page about the National Budget and keep vital federal agencies funded. President joe ben has three main goals in the coming months th he and House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy want the house to pass a shortterm deal to give lawmakers another time to pass a budget. The president wants the government to provide more money for fema for Natural Disaster as well as additional funding for ukraine. The biggest deal is the hardliners and pressuring the House Speaker to stick to strict guidelines. Heres what House Democrat has to say. This isnt about taking care of people or working for working people. Its just for working for donald trump. And many of them have said unless we defund the Special Counsel Investigations into donald trump, theyre going to shut down the federal government. What theyre looking to do is jettison the extreme hard line. Theres 20, 25 members. In so far as you let the tail wag the dog, the government wants to shut down. If he wants to step up and be a true member of the chamber to raise the debt limit then i think we can govern. Cnns Priscilla Alvarez has more details on negotiations in washington. Reporter as Congress Returns from recess this month, the white house is asking the government to pass a shortterm pending bill to to keep the government running and avoid a shutdown. Theyre also asking for key programs to provide assistance to millions of americans. Separately, the president is asking the federal government for requests to provide money to fema being asked to fund very expensive disasters across the country and whose funding are set to run dry by the end of this month, as well as funding for ukraine. House speaker Kevin Mccarthy has said that the fema funds will be replenished, but theres pushback about ukraine. Republican hardliners have asked for an Impeachment Inquiry into biden, action on border security, as well as cutting spending to precovid levels as part of passing any type of Spending Bill so that is likely to play out in congress in weeks to come. But all of this is a sprint to the anyone initial in september when the fiscal year ends, Priscilla Alvarez, cnn, traveling with the president. Age and Mental Health is getting attention 0 the campaign trail including republican hopefuls, candidate nikki haley is citing Mitch Mcconnell and argued for Mental Competency tests for politicians older than 75. Hes frozen and seemed daze only to recover days later. Hes 81 years old. But republicans say mcconnell is quite capable of deciding his own future. Mitch is sharp and he is shrewd. He understands what needs to be done. Ill leave it up to him as to how he wants to discuss that with the american public. But theres no doubt in my mind that hes perfectly capable of continuing on at this stage of the game. President biden ialso busy keeping his eye on the Perspective Opponent in e 2024 election and so far all signs are inng towards donald trump. A w ll from the Wall Street Journal shows if an election were held today the rrent and former presints would be evenly matched with votes. The same poll shows broad majorities of voters believe trump four indictments are politically motivated and without merit. The Wall Street Journal and cnn polling shows trump holds more than 50 of voters edging automatic opponent vivek ramaswamy. He was in New Hampshire over the weekend. New hampshire primary has picked the eventual republican nominee five out of seven times. Republican candidate desantis also floridas governor, of course, has been concerned with matters at home over the weekend. The state is still recovering from Hurricane Idalia Which battered florida last week. President biden and First Lady Jill Biden visited on saturday to seat damage for themselves. The president vowed to send whatever aid was needed. These crises are affecting more and more americans, and every american rightly expects fema to show up when they are needed to help in a disaster. So, im calling on the United States congress, democrats and republicans, to ensure the funding is there to deal with the immediate crisis, as well as the longterm commitments to safety and security of the american people. Desantis notably didnt meet with the president. When asked about the states recovery process, the government slammed federal response to the fires in maui, accusing the government of just throwing money at the disaster instead of actually helping. He praised floridas preparedness for its own Natural Disaster. We were prepared. We responded, and, really, what the federal governments role is just turning on programs that congress has enacted over many, many years. So its basically serving as a checkbook to get people reimbursed for Debris Cleanup to give people individual assistance. So in that sense, i think that has been turned on. I anticipate that that will go smoothly. Chinas premier will attend the 2024 summit in china. Earlier u. S. President joe biden said hes disappointed that he wont see chinese president xi jinping at the g20. I am disappointed that ill never get to see him. Biden will be traveling to new delhi for the meeting of the worlds top 20 economies. Cnns Kristie Lu Stout joins us from hong kong. This news that xi jinping wont be attending. Many factors, obviously theres been tensions recently over borders and maps between u. S. And china. And also the lastminute cancellation of the speech from the brick summit from xi jinping. What do you think is behind the decision not to be there . Well, bianca, we were seeking declarely in todays Foreign MinistryForeign Affairs meeting that just wrapped in the last hour, what we learned is that the Chinese Premier will be there in new delhi. This is the clearest sign yet that xi jinping is not attendin speculation he would be a noshow. This is what we heard at the vitation of the government of republican of india, premier of the State Council will attend the summit to be held in new delhi, india, September 9th and 10th. There was no mention of xi at all in that statement. Xi has attended all meetings since becoming president in 2013 even during the pandemic in 2021, he joined video link. And in this conversation hell be missing out on Climate Change and ukraine. And it comes as china and india clash over a border dispute. And it also comes as china battles a number of economic challenges at home with one of the countrys largest Home Builders warning of default. On sunday, had we did hear from president joe biden, he told reporters that he was disappointed that xi was not attending the g20 summit but also suggested that hell be meeting with xi in the future. And they do need to meet because u. S. china tensions have been flaring up over trade and territorial disputes. In addition, theres been a number of senior biden officials who have gone to china to visit in recent month including the u. S. Commerce secretary and President Biden did tell cnn he would be meeting with xi jinping in the fall. They may have an opportunity to speak on the sideline of the apex in november, its important to note bidend and xi, they last spoke on the sideline in bali last november. Thats been the only inperson encounter between these two leaders since biden took off in 2021. Back to you, guys. Kristie lu stout, thank you. Ukrainian president zelenskyy is overhauling the countrys leadership military in the middle of a major counteroffensive. Zelenskyy said hes dismissing his Defense Minister reznikov. In recent months, the president has cracked down on corruption in his department. Reznikov hasnt been directly implicated himself, but mr. Zelenskyy says its time for change. Translator Oleksiy Reznikov has been through more than 550 days of fullscale war. I believe that the Ministry Needs New approaches and other formats of interaction with both the military and society as a whole. The Ukrainian MilitaryOfficials Say russia has launched massive attacks across the country. Air defenses shot down 17 drones in the odesa region. Ukraine said some hit their targets. Salma abdelaziz joins us now. Salma, lets begin with the new Defense Minister, to extend the service it may seem about strange timing as were hearing about ukrainian progress breaking through the front line of russian defenses. In many ways, reznikov is one of the most important faces of this conflict. Hes developed Close Relationships with the west. Hes made really good partnerships with his u. S. Allies, hes been able to maintain and push for Material Support that is needed on the ground on those front lines, but his ministry has faced issues of corruption, allegations of corruption in the last few months. As you mentioned though hes not directly implicated in those, as you may remember earlier this year, a slew of officials were zbl dismissed amid procurement of supplies. In the wake of that the Defense Minister resigned in august. We saw president zelenskyy dismiss the head of all Recruitment Offices across ukraine. You have to remember, president zelenskyy had promised to crack down on corruption from the time he was campaigning as president. This has been a longstanding issue in ukraine, probably even more magnified by the conflict. And as you mentioned, it does come as a dismissal time, this dismissal, very key figure, key character, being pushed of the ministry, of course, as ukraine says its making gains on the ground. Gains on the counteroffensive. Able to break through those first lines. The person who is nominated rustem umer rov, hes going to face pressures to ramp up that counteroffensive. What do we know about on the ground over the weekend . The key that we need to focus on is odesa, weve seen several russian Drone Attacks, in port tears, on the danube river reports, all of this coming ahead with a very important meeting with president erdogan, who is going to try to defy the black Sea Initiative grain deal. That deal is so key to ukraine being able to export grain to the rest of the world thats caused major issues across the market. The fact that russia is using this point in time to attack those ports is a reminder of why that deal is so important. And may be a way for russia to, lets say, come at a stronger position on the Negotiating Table when they speak to president erdogan later today. Salma, thank you so much.

Right now, the weather is still wreaking havoc on the popular festival. Yeah, the rain delivered an unusual amount of mud. Trapping thousands of festivalgoers. Some there said it was not all that bad. On a lot of the headlines it seems like a disaster and my friends are messaging me to see if im okay. But in reality, its really nice. Things felt really safe and comfortable for the vast majority of people from my impression but actually fun because we were there, you know, for our community, we all came together and we made the best of it.

Im going to show you what that mud, cakey mud looks like. This is what people are walking hours in it. Youre seeing it on their shoes. Theyre covered in this mud covered on this bike, it makes it impossible for cars and rvs. They told me they were stuck here for hours trying to get out of the mud. So its difficult to get out, and the concern is for people who did not bring enough supplies, enough food, enough water and needed to get out. Heres one person who told me she just needed to get out today. Its quite expansive out there, and it probably took three three hours of slogging to walk just from my camp to the road. I did get a little hitchhike, too, into the back of someones truck. But, yeah, its just really thick dense mud. So wherever its wet, its just heavy and sticky. And its a real sloppy mess out there. Most everything is turned off. But theres still some people partying. And everybody i talked to has remained extremely positive, telling me theyre making the best out of a difficult situation, saying theyre still having fun, that theyve enjoyed the festival. Unfortunately, authorities did report one death. They said a body was found, they did not give any details into what happened. And organizers here are continuing to tell people to be safe. Theyre preparing to get thousands of people out of here. So theyre telling them this is going to be a long process. The exodus as they call. Camila bernal, cnn.
