. hello. i'm brianna keilar with pamela brown in washington. we're waiting on president biden to speak. any moment he's expected to announce major u.s. investments in asia as he's promoting workers rights globally. but we're going to begin the hour with breaking news coming out of the israeli hamas war. israel saying they've located another body of a hostage. >> the body was located near al shifa hospital, which defense forces raided yesterday. they're claiming hamas was using tunnels beneath it as a command center. let's get to nic robertson. nic, what do you know about the hostage found dead by the idf? >> reporter: she was a 65-year-old lady, grandmother, wife. the idf isn't giving any details of the condition of her body or the condition of the structure that she was in, so we don't understand at the moment how she may have died, the circumstance specifically of her body, but we are being told her body was discovered in a structure close it's connected to the idf operation at the al shifa hospital. obviously the families of all the hostages are desperate to get information and knowledge about their loved ones, and there's been a concern among many of them that because of israel's heavy bombardment and because hamas has been using potentially some of the hostages as effectively human shields, there's always that worry some could be killed in the ongoing idf military operations. that's not proved that that's what's happened here, but that's been a concern. hamas in their own propaganda says they're trying to play on the psychological emotions of israelis has claimed that a number of hostages have died over the past few weeks and they blame it on israel's bombing. >> no, it is awful. nic, also tell us about what's going on in southern gaza, what this means. >> it really seems to account that df does intend to move south of the sort of demarcation line that they advised gazans to get south of and get away from the north of gaza. it does appear as if it goes south of that line now and conduct military operations because they dropped leaflets over, which is perhaps the biggest population center in the south of the gaza strip. now, obviously it has much denser population because so many hundreds of thousands of people have moved from the north, and the leaflets are telling people to move toward known safe places south of the gaza strip. israel has been designating an area, relatively small area close to the mediterranean sea on the western -- southwestern side of gaza as a humanitarian zone. it's not clear if any international aide agencies will provide assistance in that zone. they can barely move around because they don't have enough fuel. so quite the location that the idf would like the civilians to move to , and what security the find isn't clear. it indicates the idf intends to go there. >> all right, nic robertson, thanks so much. let's talk about this further with cnn analyst kim dozier. first, the idf saying the soldiers near the al shifa hospital have found the body of an israeli hostage from october 7th, what does this mean? what questions does it raise for you? >> the most horrible news that the grandmother didn't survive. but it proves the claims that the area under the al shifa hospital and around had been used by hamas to possibly hold hostages. the idf has reported to us that they found a laptop with information on it related to the hostages. israeli media have reported that's included photos of them. and the search continues within the hospital compound itself to find proof of this underground operation center that israel and the white house have said exists, and further bolstering that are the reports that back in the '80s israel actually built -- when israel was in control of the area, built a bunker, a bomb shelter underneath the hospital, so i guess that's what they're looking for. one israeli official tells me they have found signs that hamas had tried to erase that it had been there. >> but they have released video showing military equipment, but as you point out, the raid is still ongoing. we have a report coming in signal intelligence has been picked up between hamas militants talking about a command hub underneath that hospital, but so far we have yet to see the concrete proof that it exists. so does that tell you while they have found this intelligence and military equipment they're looking for the concrete proof that, yes, there is all of this underneath the hospital? >> it could be very easy. it could simply be that the entrances to what they're looking for have been collapsed by hamas. israel has been doing the same thing. when it finds a tunnel structure, rather than sending troops into it it sends explosive is to it and maps whatever got exploded. israel and the u.s. have for years have been working on technology to map the tunnel system that hamas has been using. it's bragged about a tunnel system runs all over gaza. that also explains why you see israel moving to another location because they say they're going to root out hamas. hamas is everywhere in gaza. so they're not going to just do northern gaza. >> they're beyond gaza, right? but, yes, they're everywhere. to follow up on what you said, what is the importance of releasing evidence showing that, yes, there was a command hub underneath this hospital? >> right now one of the ways that israel has tried to deflect the international censure of this action is there's a legitimate military objective, and under the laws of war, if there was truly a military command center underneath the al shifa hospital, that negates the area being a medical center and therefore off limits for military operations. that still doesn't relieve israel from the responsibility of trying to protect civilians as it us go through this. >> what kind of limb has president biden gone on with regard to absolute intelligence? >> when you hear absolutely, you're like, show me. it's not just the handful or dozens or so of weapons or single laptop they've shown the media so far. they've really got to show something that looks to the world like a place that hamas was controlling and running this operation. >> kim, as you see this expansion possibly into the south, is that what you think with the leaflet drop? certainly it raises questions about more collateral damage. these palestinians were moving out of the north. ultimately where do they go? there's so little space. what does it say about the strategy and how they're prioritizing the elimination of hamas and the recovery of hostages? >> it has felt that eliminating hamas it's more important to the current israeli government the way some of these attacks and the bunker busters that they've been using seem to be dropped without reference to the fact that hostages might be hiding there. we don't know. but with this leaflet drop, this is preparing the battle grouchltd r ground, it was done several days before. they're trying to do it to give the civilians time to get out of the way. where they go, we really don't know. >> really at this uncertain time, so many questions up in the air. kim, we appreciate you helping us wade through them. thank you so much. now let's go to san francisco where we're about to hear from president biden at the asian pacific economic cooperation summit. this is happening one day after the kind of tense certainly high-stakes sit-down with president xi. >> absolutely. biden and xi vowed to come out of the meeting. there are signs they can cooperate and compete amid the rising tensions, but the tensions were on full display after the summit when biden described xi as a dictator for the second time this year, provoking quite the response from china. >> yes, but maybe he is a dictator, but maybe in the world of diplomacy, not the time to say it. you've got to choose your time and your place. let's go to mj lee who was at the aipac. lots around this. what can we be hearing from president biden shortly? >> reporter: well, pam and brianna, now that the xi summit is behind us, the president is really focused today on this apec summit takes place any time now. we should hear him making remarks to a group of ceos, and the white house says there should be new announcements made about investments that the united states is making in some of these apec countries. this coming on the heels of the biden/xi summit is in contrast, really, because it really represents the ongoing efforts the biden administration has been making over the years to really try to nurture and strengthen these alliances that they have with a number of asian and indo-pacific nations. and u.s. officials have said they're doing everything to try to contain china and remain competitive with beijing. at the same time we are seeing this huge effort to try to ease tensions between u.s. and china, we are also seeing on this parallel track the biden administration continuing to make these efforts to remain competitive with china, and we have been told before the summit by u.s. officials that this is something that chinese officials have been sensitive to, cognizant of, basically this reality of a changing competitive landscape. >> yeah. xi made it clear in his comments yesterday that he did not at least want to view the relationship with the u.s. as competitive. he viewed that as a potential source of conflict. so the question now after this meeting and as we await president biden to take the podium there, what comes next besides the potential exchange of pandas from china? >> reporter: so i do think this is worth talking about because is there sort of a better issue for diplomacy than pandas? in all seriousness, though, a lot of attention being given to the comments that president xi made yesterday when he seemed to suggest that it was very possible that china may send additional pandas to the united states. if you are a panda fan, you will know that last month, three of the pandas that were housed in the washington, d.c., zoo, they were sent back to china, and now there are only four pandas that remain in the united states. this is what xi said about pandas. he said they were envoys of friendships between the chinese and american people, and the white house today taking these questions seriously. they said, look, we would welcome that development were that to happen, were beijing to decide to send additional pandas to the united states. white house spokesman john kirby saying at the same time we respect the sovereign decision to remove some of those pandas earlier this year. >> look, diplomacy takes all forms. sometimes it's in zoo animals. pandas are popular, but they're also a barometer. they're definitely worth talking about. mj lee live for us in san francisco. thank you so much. we're standing by for these remarks. we're told they will happen at any moment, so bear with us here. also following west virginia senator joe manchin, he's not ruling out leaving the democratic party as we are weighing -- we are not. i don't have an announcement to make, do you, pam? >> i don't. >> he's weighing a presidential run. plus it's one of the busiest days of the year. it's starbucks, yet thousands of workers are on strike. we'll have more on what they're demanding. and an arrest has been made after a jewish man died afafter dueleling protests in calilifor. we'll haveve more details s com up. all right. you're looking there at a live picture in san francisco. you see the presidential seal. we're awaiting president biden. he has been speaking to ceos at this apec summit, and we're going to be hearing remarks from him any time soon or very soon, we're told, but this can also expand. as we know it's supposed to be here very soon. i want to bring kim dozier back in. this is coming on the heels of him saying that the chinese president -- and this following their meeting yesterday -- is a dictator. now, that's true, but maybe, you know, in the world of diplomacy you don't say it or you choose your time of when to say it. he's trying to restore relations. explain that to us. yes, he's speaking the truth. what's the matter with speaking the truth in this instance? >> oh, my gosh, i can imagine the secretary of state, the other officials, the press officials were like, phew, we got through that and then he says that and they're all screaming, use your inside voice. yes, he said it out loud, which interestingly the chinese foreign office said it was the wrong thing to say, but the chinese media have been pretty quiet about it. the state controlled chinese media. it seems like they don't want to make a big deal about this. they're trying to keep it positive. they also know president biden's facing a tough election year where he's likely to face criticism from republicans about getting too close to china at a time when china is a major vote getter for most in the national security world. so maybe xi is going to give him a pass on this because it also fits in with that, hey, we're allowing each nation to be who they are, competitors, but not fighting each other. >> right. xi jinping says the architect is big enough to operate the two countries. here we see president biden going up to the podium. let's listen the what he has to say. >> good morning. please, have a seat. welcome to san francisco. this is about as big as my state. this is a city synonymous with innovation, breaking barriers, where collaboration and coming together have always been keyed on locking our potential. it's a city that has been shaped by centuries of deep ties to the asian pacific region by contributions of people of asian and pacific islander heritage. so san francisco is a natural place to gather together and collaborate for the 2023 apec summit and ceo summit and all the events that are taking place this week. i want to talk -- i want to thank everyone who's made this week possible, especially those serving, the apec secretary, the apec advisory council and so many others. today, 21 apec economies make up more than 60%, more than 60% of the global gdp. for almost half the global trade the asian pacific is projected to be the largest contributor of global growth over the next 30 years, so the vision we pursue for the economic future of our region will be bound far beyond the asian pacific. the choices we make are going to matter as hyperbole suggests for the entire world. it's up to us to honor the dynasties of our people the spirit youism of our people and unleash the potential, the unlimited potential of our partnerships in order to realize the future will benefit the people, not only in the asian pacific region but the whole world. i mean that sincerely. people everywhere. the future of prosperity is shared and is inclusive. our workers are empowered and rights are respected. our economies are sustainable and resilient, and the bridges that connect our people open a golden gate of opportunity to create lives of hope. it's lives of hope that -- it's just hope. you know, it's been my approach here in the united states and the moment my administration took office for building an economy from the middle out, bottom up. trickle-down economy worked okay some times but not a lot trickled down at my dad's kitchen table. but when the middle class does well, the poor have a chance, and the wealthy still does very well because what happens is the poor have a ladder up. middle class and wealthy still do well. folks, we're already seeing the results. the last quarter, the american economy grew 4.9%, the highest growth rate in two years. more people in the united states -- [ applause ] >> because many of you sitting there as ceos. let's give credit where it's due. more people in the united states are in the workforce today than any time in american history. unemployment has been under 4% for 21 straight months. inflation has come down by 65%. more to do. we now have the lowest inflation of any -- lowest inflation rate of any advanced economy in the world. meanwhile, medium household growth has gone down since the pandemic. i acknowledge there's a disconnect between the numbers and how people feel about their place in the world right now. we can deal with the second part as well. we still have work to do, but our model for growing is drawing real results for all americans, significant black unemployment, et cetera. the strength of our economy is driving growth and spurring investment throughout our region. again because many of you sitting in front of me made those judgments. as drawing investments for the united states especially the asia-pacific economy, since the start of my administration, they have invested over $200 billion in the united states. these are historic investments creating millions of dollars of good-paying jobs, $14 million just since we came to office. all across america industries are going to shape the condition of this globe. electric batteries, hydrogen hubs and other emerging technologies. i've long said it's never been a good bet to bet against the american people. never. [ applause ] >> no, i mean it. think about it. it's never been a good bet. and we're proving it once more. my message to all of you here today is, leaders of the government and industry, you can count on the united states. we're delivering on our promises, and we're doubling down on our progress. we'll soon be -- we'll soon be your strong and steady partner as we continue working together to realize asia and pacific region is free and open, prosperous and secure, resilient and connected. by the way, twice since i've been present, i've had the leaders of the asia and pacific islands come to meet in the united states. they're all part of it. i thought when i left the g20 and vietnam desperately wanted to see me and raise the relationship, brought me back when i stood in front of that monument to john mccain, all my days growing up, i never thought that would ever occur. today i'd like to talk a little bit about the work we've done and the region to get there and how we're going to go about seeing this going forward. i've said for a long time, the united states is a pacific power. i had a brief discussion yesterday with president xi. he asked why -- he had asked me before. i reminded him why we are so engaged the pacific. i said it's because we're a pacific nation. because of us, there's been peace and security, allowing you to grow. he didn't disagree. i thought it was a very good straightforward meeting. we aren't going anywhere. for decades america's commitment to the region has been a springboard of growth, transformative growth. i'm sure the flow of congress has lifted millions of people out of poverty. today that relationship goes both ways. the united states remains vital to the future of the region, and the region is more vital than ever to the united states of america. this has been my administration's outlook from day one, and we have clearly laid out hour pacific strategy. we've delivered across the board including when it comes to our shared economic agenda. united states has deep ties with our fellow apec economies. more than 60% of u.s. exports go to fellow apec economies. robust two-way investment between the united states and apec countries supports good jobs and good opportunities all across the region. american businesses are significantly recommended here in this auditorium. are the largest source for directed economists. in fact, if we take juuse the u.s. companies recommended here at this summit and look at their new investments in the apec economy for the entire year, they total more than $250 billion so far. investments announced today from companies like amazon, united, delta, microsoft, to make sure our region is more inclusive and interconnected. investments announced today from companies like boeing, apple, flexport, pepsico lla or pepsi company i should say should make investments more green and more renewable. companies like visa, look, they make up --
