Hello and a warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the United States and all around the world. Whatever your geo coordinates, worry happy you are with us. Geo coordinates. Yeah. Just ahead on cnn newsroom the republican primary entering a new post Labor Day Phase, several campaigning throughout the weekend in New Hampshire. People spend a lot of time looking in the Rearview Mirror instead of focusing on what the American People are focusing on. And expected to discuss potential arms deals, the u. S. Urging north korea to cease negotiations with russia. Ken paxtons Impeachment Trial begins tuesday and it features some of the most unique legal characters in the state. Nonsense. It is definitionally political. Live from london, this is cnn newsroom with max foster and bianca nobilo. It is tuesday, september 5, 9 00 a. M. In london, 4 00 a. M. In delaware where First Lady Jill Biden will remain after Testing Positive for covid19. The white house says she is currently experiencing only mild symptoms. President biden has tested negative for the virus. Both are in delaware for the Labor Day Weekend and an official tells cnn there are no changes to the president s schedule at this time. Mr. Biden is scheduled to depart for the g20 summit in india later on this week. And as covid cases increase across the u. S. , medical experts say it is time to mask up again in public. I really hope that she is on paxlovid because paxlovid has worked so well. It does reduce up to 90 risk of hospitalization and even higher with death. Now, with first lady biden, the good news is from what we know publicly, she is in pretty good health for 72. And so that also goes in her favor. But i really hope that she is on paxlovid right now and masks in public. You know, we didnt see any masks anywhere especially in well, anywhere let alone our politicians and other people in other areas. But people over 65 probably should be wearing a mask when they are in public. Lab tests indicate that the new Coronavirus Variant may be less contagious than previously thought. And vaccinated americans should have some protection against it. Scientists say the new ba. 2. 68 variant is highly detec countries so far. And two groups of scientists have reported their results of their analysis. U. S. Senate will reconvene in the coming hours and the house returns next week. They will have to resolve major differences over funding the it wont be easy. October 1, but if they are t able to get on the same page, the country faces a government shutdown. And House Republican mike simpson tells cnn i tell people to buckle up, it will be crazy for september, october, november and december. Next four months are going to be wild. Both the white house and House SpeakerKevin Mccarthy are pushing for a short term bill that would fund the government until later this year allowing more time to adjust the broader issues. But it is not stopping President Biden from celebrating his economic policies since taking office. On monday mr. Biparden visited members of the local sheet Metal Workers union. Union members have been a part of his base for decades now. And he slammed Donald Trumps policies and actions while in office while trying to shore up his own accomplishments. He appealed to the Blue Collar Workers adding, quote, bidenomics is a Blue Collar Blueprint for america. In my first three years, all this stuff, guess what, i cut the deficit 1. 7 trillion. Cut the debt 1. 7 trillion. And one more thing. I was able to invest in you and still bring down the deficit once i started making people pay their fair share. Meanwhile some republicans challenging mr. Biden for president worked overtime this Labor Day Weekend. They spent the Holiday Campaigning in New Hampshire where the first president ial primary will be held in 2024. Jeff zeleny has that for you. Reporter the republican president ial primary entering a new post Labor Day Phase. Several candidates campaigning throughout the Labor Day Weekend in New Hampshire, of course a critical stop on the road to the white house. Iowa will vote first next january followed by New Hampshire. So several candidates were fanning out making their case to voters. Republicans of course independent voters as well. Also important here in New Hampshire. But it was former Vice President mike pence who made the case that he said the race is not at the end, it is at the beginning. I dont know about the rest of you, but i think labor day is when campaigns begin. And im here because i really do believe that different times call for different leadership. And i promise you ill continue to work my heart out. The banner of common sense conservative values, Strong National defense, American Leadership in the world, fiscal responsibility, free market economics, traditional values in life. There are some people that say those arent the values of the Republican Party any more. I beg to differ. I believe they still are. There is no question that former President Trump holds a Strong National lead and a slightly smaller lead state by state. But there is also a sense that Many Republican voters and certainly independent voters have open minds. Many want to turn the page from the trump style of leadership, others do not believe that he can win a general election. So going into the fall stages of the campaign, one thing is clear, this field of republican candidates is beginning to try at least to distinguish themselves, to differentiate themselves. Donald trump has not been on the Campaign Trail here in New Hampshire in a while. He will be returning to the Campaign Trail in other parts of the country this week even as he contends with his legal cases around him. But as we enter a post Labor Day Phase of the campaign, the question really is, is the race near the end or is it as mr. Pence said just beginning. Jeff zeleny, cnn, rye, New Hampshire. A u. S. Government official says noeskrth koreas Leader C Head to russia to cut a weapons deal aimed at bolstering the war effort in ukraine. New york times says the meeting between kim jungun and Vladimir Putin may happen this month. Back in july the Russian Defense minister visited north korea and paraded through its hall of weapons as the cameras rolled as you see. Lets go to Kristie Lu Stout in hong kong. These are two countries that probably need each other right now. Reporter yeah, for different reasons. This is what we know about this potential meeting. Kim jungun may meet with Vladimir Putin in russia, that is according to the u. S. National security council, and they are expected to discuss potential arms deals for russia to get more north korea weapons to use against ukraine. The typing of this meeting is unclear, but it was the New York Times that first reported about this potential meeting saying that kim could travel from pyongyang to meet with putin at a forum set to run this weekend starting from september 10 around the same time as the g20 in india. This is where the scene played out in 2019 where kim and putin met for the first time. And kem maim made that journey s famous train, the heavily armored green train. As for the new potential meeting, the times reports thatin exchange for weapons, russia wants technology for satellites and Nuclear Powered submarines. And this is following a recent visit by the Russian Defense minister who visited north korea in july along with a chinese delegation. And this is also after u. S. Officials said that the two countries are actively advancing their talks over another potential arms deal. Last year the u. S. And north korea delivered rockets and missiles to russia for use by wagner forces which is something north korea denied. Russia and north korea without a doubt their alliance is getting closer, they have been edging closer together. Weve learned the Russian Defense minister says joint Military Exercises with north korea are currently being discussed. And kim and putin have exchanged letters to each other pledging to boost the alliance and increase their cooperation. Back to you max and bianca. Fascinating. Thank you for joining us. And this more exposes well the deficiencies that russia we know has when it comes to artillery and other elements of its defense structure. But north korea has a lot of soviet weaponry themselves. But i think russia spends 4 a year on its defense budget, north korea it is about 20 , 24 . So potentially very Important Alliance for north korea.
