states, canada and around the world, i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on "cnn newsroom." president biden is at home in delaware after a campaign swing to three western states. ahead, why he says this year's mid-term elections are the most important in decades. plus, chinese leader xi says they will take taiwan by force. a live report from beijing plus reaction from taipei. elon musk changes his mind when it comes to offering peace for ukraine. we'll look at the decision and huge implications in the war against russia. >> announcer: live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with ken brunhuber. > . >> president biden has just wrapped up a rare four-day campaign tour across the west

costa head of the critical mid-term elections. much is at stake as it tries to hold on in congress and win key local and state elections. biden's approval is low across polls fueling worries that it could weigh down the party at the ballot box. stumping alongside the most vulnerable candidates. the president is going to oregon, california and highlighting his achievements and raise millions of dollars from donors. >> this is i think the most important off-year election that we've had in -- since roosevelt's time. i mean that sincerely. because so much is at stake. if we are able to keep the house and keep the senate, we continue to do the things we've been doing which are really going to make change to the country. >> cnn's arlitt saenz has more on the critical campaign stops

on the west coast. >> reporter: president biden wraps his four-day western swing with stops in portland, oregon, a state he won by 16 points in the 2020 election. the president traveled to states like colorado, california, and oregon, democratic strongholds where he believes his policies would help democratic candidates. the president campaigned in part on behalf of the democratic nominee nineteen kotak who is facing a much tighter race as she's challenged by two opponents. the president is hoping to drive out the vote, especially as voter registration in the state ends on october 18th. while the president was both in california and here in oregon, he talks about ways to lower prices for americans as inflation remains a top concern for voters heading into these elections. the president tauted enhanced social security benefits and also tried to explain some of

the elements of the inflation reduction act which would help lower prices, particularly when it comes to prescription drugs. >> this year the american people want the first time big reform. >> now big pharma trying to raise prices, they're going to have to write a check to medicare. look, instead of that money going in the pocket of drug companies, they're going in your pockets in the form of lower drug prices. there's more money at the end of the month to pay the grocery bills, get your car repaired, buy your grandson a birthday gift. >> the president did not visit p a couple other states. he will be turning to a very kless race and that is in the commonwealth of pennsylvania. president biden will be

traveling there on thursday to pittsburgh and also be participating in the fund-raiser with the lieutenant governor, john fetterman. the president is also focusing his attention on a state that was very critical to his ovwn election back in 2020. arlitt saenz traveling with the president in 2020. former president barack obama will travel to atlanta and detroit for campaign events in the final weeks leading up to the mid-term elections. he will campaign on october 28th. it's not clear which campaigns he will stump with. obama will join gretchen whitmer and other democratic candidates for a get out the vote rally. the former president wants to do his part to help democrats win next month's critical elections.

this week the u.s. house select committee investigating the van -- january 6th committee almost have more. >> why don't you get the president and tell them to leave the capitol, attorney general, in your law enforcement responsibilities. cassidy hutchinson testified that he knew he lost even as he continued efforts to overturn the results. in a rare move the panel voted to subpoena trump. >> the chess move and the video,

and i've been going out of my way not to comment and see what happens. i think it's been devastating. the case has been made and it seems to me fairly overwhelming. >> there's no word yet on when the committee will release its final report or whether it will make any criminal referrals to the justice department. extraordinary moment in modern china's history is taking place right now in beijing with leader xi jinping poised to rule that country with an iron grip for many years to come. the gathering of the communist party congress only happens every ten years. xi jinping is heading for his third seat. he's going to seize taiwan with

force if necessary. listen to this. >> translator: we will continue to strive for peaceful reunification but we will never promise not to use the use of force and we reserve the option to take all measures necessarily. this is directly solely by outside forces and separatists seeking taiwan independence. >> that line received the biggest applause of xi's two-hour speech. he went on to say china would continue to modernize all aspects of military so it could, quote, effectively carry out all tasks. we have stevenen jeng and will ripley. >> kim, first of all, the central theme is very clear. the only way to restore china's rightful place is to restore the

chinese party's dominance. he promised to renew economic growth. innovation has been stifled precisely because of his government's sweeping crackdown on the private sector, especially on the tech industry and the sharp economic slowdown china is facing due to its intransigence on the strict covid policy. despite the effectiveness and despite growing public frustration and resentment towards the policy. thirdly, the one word we kept hearing during the speech was struggle. better translated as fight. he talked about fighting could

he individual. he talked about fighting separatists and fighting unilaterallism and high g higeminy. that makes it clear he is very unlikely to back down both international and domestic issues. lastly, kim, when it comes to opaque chinese politics, it's not always about the obvious. sometimes it's the more subtle signs. people have noticed and said he paused during a two-hour speech and clearing his throat and sipping water. that leads to assessment of stamina which is increasingly important given the important amount of power concentrated in his hands and he needs and wants to make his personal stamina big and strong. this is going to be a physically

demanding job. given the global implications, there have been concerns. >> thanks, steven. let's go to will ripley in taipei. let's drill down to what xi said in taiwan. the language, forceful and blunt as we expected. what did we sflern. >> what we learned is there is not only, you know, zero desire to change course or to even listen to the perspective of the taiwanese government, which has run this island, it has evolved into a democracy over more than 70 years of separation. in fact, the communist rulers in beijing have never once governed this island and yet they claim this island, and they have for decades as their own, only difference is now china has a military that if it's not capable of doing it, it will be in the very near future. that is one of xi jinping's stated goals. so you have this much smaller

but vibrant democracy that doesn't have formal diplomatic ties with most of the countries around the world but has friendships with powerful like-minded democracies. saying what they have consistently said that taiwan will not accept a unilateral ee unification with the main land because they don't feel it's a reunification, they think it would be a hostile takeover. they say the whole point of having a democracy is that the voters, the majority of the public decides their future and poll after poll especially over the last few years since 2019 when people in taiwan watched the chaos in hong kong, watched the freedoms of hong kong be taken away under what was supposed to be one country, two systems, it has made the prospect of any one country, two systems for taiwan unacceptable according to the opposition party, the kmt which is

traditionally pro china does not have any platform that will accept one country, two systems. they said that taiwan will never compromise on values of sovereignty, democracy and freedom. we know the national security team of taiwan is closely monitoring what is transpiring in beijing as we speak. with xi jinping's consolidation of power and his stated intent that in his generation taiwan should be reabsorbed with the mainland, it is certainly perhaps not the most pressing, urgent concern in that think they it's going to happen tomorrow, but the widely held view at some stage likely during xi jinping's rule china will make a move to bolster the military, improve the military training, enhance the self-defense capabilities preparing for that day that china decides to try to fulfill the promise that xi jinping made

today. kim? >> thanks so much, will ripley. appreciate it. for more on this, let's bring in james myles who's the senior writer on china for "the economist" and joins us from london. thanks for being with us. we spent time talking about the nuance of the language president xi used. it's even more important, i guess, than it might be in, say, a presidential state of the union speech. so what were your overall impressions in terms of the tone, the length, the language compared to what we've seen before? >> well, it's striking not least i suppose in terms of the visuals of this. i've been covering party congresses since the 13th congress in 1987, and there is almost nothing different about this one. almost nothing that you would see in the great hall of the people that connects china with the 21st century visually. this is old style communist

party choreographed controlled pageantry. and everything is as xi jinping would wish it as the party leadership would wish it in terms of its being a homage to the party, to mr. xi with absolutely no dissent during this event, which we expect to last for about a week. in terms of the language off the speech given by xi jinping, i think one striking thing is how relatively short it was. it only took two hours for him to deliver this one compared with three hours five years ago at the last party congress. i think what was also striking was perhaps less of the more strident language we heard five years ago. the more confidence language about china moving to the center stage of global affairs.

his remarks on taiwan were still hedged, still talking about assisting with policy of peaceful reunification in spite of those hard line warnings around that as well. and really a sense of caution, talk of the great waves and strong winds that china will be facing in the years ahead. there's every reason for mr. xi to feel cautious and they covered the stringent controls of the virus which is one reason battering the economy. he didn't give any promise of ending that but i think that's going to be something we watch for closely during this congress, any sign of tweaking in that. >> so, i mean, you've covered so many of these. take us through why these party congresses are so important. it's much more than just a speech. >> well, they're important

because they are summing up really everything the party believes in and this takes place every five years. what xi jinping says will be, you know, in effect, the gospel for the party for the next five years. so it will be read and reread extremely closely by millions of officials around the country, but eventually particularly important of course for leadership changes, and there are sweeping changes that have already taken place in the buildup to this at the provincial and lower levels of the party hierarchy, this will culminate at the end of the congress. there will be another smaller meeting of a new central committee the day after the congress and that will choose a new politburo, not new, same general secretary, same chief of the armed forces, in other words xi jinping, but it will be a big

reshuffle, at least half of the politburo will be changed. a couple, we expect, at least of the politburo standing committee, that's the very apex of power, seven men. so a huge event for china politically and something that they've been gearing up for with extraordinary intensity for months and months. everything has been sort of subservient to this aim of ensuring a smooth party congress without any embarrassment whatsoever emerging from any part of the country. >> so before we go, i mean, you touched on china's place in the world. i wanted to ask you about its relations with the west, specifically with the u.s. what have you learned here? >> well, if you search for the word miracle america, you get

zero results. search for russia, ukraine, zero, zero. search for china and you get more than a hundred results. this is really all about china across -- with reference to china's position in the world and xi jinping's initiatives to establish china as a global power. his global development init initiative, global security initiative very closely associated with xi jinping but avoiding specific mention of those crucial global issues which, you know, hang over the global economy, global security and of course have a great impact on china. the point of this speech, i think, was really to instill listener which is a sense of

feel goodery without addressing the difficult problems, i think. >> fascinating. really appreciate your analysis james myles. thanks so much. >> thank you. north korea is reaffirming its ties with beijing to mark china's 20th national congress. north korean state media says pyongyang received a message from xi jinping in which the chinese leader emphasized how the two countries should continue to strengthen tharp efforts. north korea strengthened the message. fire breaks out at a notorious prison in tehran injuring at least eight people. who is blamed for igniting the blaze. elon musk backs often a service he has in helping ukraine fighght russia. stay with us.

a fire is now under control at a notoriously brutal prison in tehran where iran's political dissidents are held. at least eight people were

injured according to the state media. the fire was started by the prisoners inside the facility. we do know some americans are being held there. let's bring in nada bashir. this comes in the context of weeks of protests in iran. what more are we learning about what caused the fire? >> reporter: look, kim, the picture of what took place yesterday to cause the fire is unclear. we are hearing contrasting accounts of what actually happened within the prison. those images circulating late last night. the videos of the black plumes of smoke rising from the prison complex drew widespread concern from iran and the international community. this is a prison that houses hundreds of political prisoners.

journalists, writers, lawyers, many of them in prison for speaking out against the iranian regime. this is a huge concern because we have seen demonstrations, protests sparking up across the country. we've heard from the activist group, they've been sharing the video coming out of iran throughout the protests. in the videos they circulated yesterday, last night, there were sounds of gunfire in the background around these prison -- this prison complex as well as, of course, reports of the iranian security forces have been deployed to the prison complex. we also heard from the iran wire reporting according to a source they had within the prison that there had been a revolt within the prison complex and that a fire ensued. this stands in contrast expectedly from the government's own line. they say that thugs had been responsible for riots within the prison and that a fire had ensued in the clothing warehouse

on the prison complex, but they were quickly -- quick to ensure that the fire was under control and being dealt with by the authorities. we have seen widespread international reaction, concern because this prison houses foreign nationals as well. we heard yesterday, we are following reports from prison with urgency and we are in contact with the swiss. iran is fully responsible for the safety of our wrongfully detained citizens who should be released immediately. we are aware of the u.s. citizen who reimprisoned in the evin prison complex for seven years, wrongfully detained. this comes on the back of weeks and weeks of demonstrations. iranian authorities were quick to say this wasn't connected to what they've said were riots.

this has raised concern. we've seen a violent crack jounl by the iranian authorities of any signs of dissent. even the prison home to many political prisoners been detained there, some of them for years without being able to contact family members, some of them. this is a real point of concern. we are still seeing protests taking place. we've also seen in the last few days calls on social media circulating for a national up rising. this has grown far more serious. this has morphed into a total regime change. kim? >> all right. thanks so much, nada bashir. in cuba officials say protesters who have taken to the streets after hurricane ian damaged the island's power grid could soon face charges. people have been coming out at night calling for electrical service to be restored. others have demanded cuban

leaders step down when hurricane ian struck the island almost three weeks ago. it left the power system in worse shape. a note published said prosecutors are investigating charges of arson and vand delllism of state property. nowhere seems safe in ukraine. still ahead, school buildings take a hit and end up being destroyed by russian missiles. stay with us. and lasts 12 hours. 12 hours?!?! who studies that long? mucinex dm relieveves wet and dry coughs.

nearby homes were also hit and no casualties reported. the occupied donetsk city came under fire which reportedly destroyed an administration building there. this shows smoke after the alleged strike sunday morning. all that is happening is after an attack at a military facility across the border in russia. russia's state news agency says two gunmen opened fire at a center in belgorod leaving hundreds wounded. we're joined from london. scott, let's start with the latest on the shooting. what more do we know? >> not a whole lot more information, kim. we are piecing together the news we have. the local governor of belgorod, this is a region of russia just

across the border of the kharkiv region of ukraine. the local governor is calling this a terrorist attack. says 11 people killed, 15 wounded. none of them civilians. we're talking about military personnel here. according to the local media, these were personnel that were volunteering to join the front lines of the special military operation. specifically the drill that was taking place at the military training facility was a shooting drill. target practice. just imagine the chaos of russian troops firing at targets and then all of a sudden being fired on themselves by two gunmen. those gunmen were shot and killed. the russian state media report says they were from ex-soviet states though it does not go into detail as to where exactly they were from, why they were at that training facility and whether they were part of this drill at all or whether they had

some other kind of role. it's not clear. the president says 220 of 300,000 troops have been called up so far though that is very, very controversial in that country. of course, there have been protests and thousands of people heading for the exits as well. this attack comes the same day as an attack on the oil facility in belgorod. one of ten oil tanks on this site were hit leading to a large fire. this plume of smoke that you see there in the sky. this is really not unusual as of late. on friday you had russia using its missile defense system to shoot down what it said was incoming fire from the ukrainian side. on thursday you had an ammunition depot hit in the belgorod region. you also had an apartment building that was hit by some debris. now the russians say that this was debris left over from it

striking down incoming fire from ukraine. the ukrainians say this was a russian missile aimed at ukraine that had misfired. all the while you had president putin acknowledging there have been attacks on russian soil. you have the fsb, russian intelligence service saying these attacks have ramped up this month. more than 100 alone, kim, yet the ukrainians have not acknowledged any of these attacks inside the borders of russia. president putin says, look, these are attacks that are using western weapons, something that obviously western allies were supplying. ukraine with weapons are very fearful of because they don't want the appearance that they're somehow wagging a proxy war on russian soil, kim. >> thanks so much, scott mcclain. appreciate it. u.s. billionaire elon musk seems to have backed off a threat to stop funding his spacex firm's star link system

in ukraine. the nation uses starlink for military communications. one senior ukrainian official said it's essential. musk said the u.s. should pay tens of millions of dollars. now he's quoted, the hell with it, even though starlink is losing millions, we'll just keep funding the ukraine government for free. russia is focusing a lot of its time, attention and resources on its war in ukraine and that's raised concerns among some close neighbors that were once soviet republics. as cnn's ivan watson reports, russia's influence them is on decline. >> reporter: on the 70th birthday, vladimir putin met with leaders of the other soviet countries. of course, putin is directly responsible for launching the biggest war in recent history in this part of the world.

russia's invasion of ukraine was aimed at reasserting moscow's control. instead, this increasingly disastrous war has weakened russia's influence across the region, including here in central asia. >> unless something changes dramatically and russia rebounds, we'll see russia's role certainly diminishing in central sharon for sure. >> reporter: he's a former ambassador to washington from kirgistan. >> to see this kind of attack by russia against ukraine was certainly disorienting because it sort of shows terrible things that russia is capable of. >> reporter: of the leaders of the former soviet republics,

only aleksander luca shenk ka of belarus has supported putin. russia conducts military exercises with its other allies. when it comes to the ukraine war, they have all stayed publicly neutral, including kazakhstan. in january the authorities here used deadly force to crush a violent uprising that left dozens dead. moss cow -- moscow got some support. >> reporter: you can see the burn marks here. the kazak's government said they will not get involved in russia's war in ukraine. >> reporter: as they face more and more setbacks in ukraine, tensions have exploded in other areas long seen as russia's

backyard. deadly fighting raged across the border between kyrgistan and its neighbor. now the armenian government is working with the european union to negotiate a settlement. moscow is on the back foot due to its destructive war of choice and that's leaving a growing power vacuum across the former soviet union. funerals are underway for victims of friday's mine explosion in northern turkey. rescue workers found the body of the last missing person at the coal mine on saturday. that brings the death toll to 41. for families, friends, colleagues it's simply heartbreaking. >> translator: i heard this sad news on my way home. i am in deep grief right now.

california on friday president biden touted the inflation reduction act that was passed earlier this year by the democrat controlled congress and signed into law by the president. it aims to bring town prices and boost the economy. >> here's the bottom line, so please hear this. a republicans are saying no. republicans take control the prices are going to go up, as will inflation. it's this simple. >> a recent cnn poll conducted by ssrs asked voters which party they're most likely to vote for in congress in the upcoming mid-terms and slightly more than half of registered latina voters said they will vote for democrats and 23% say they will vote for republicans. 65% of latina voters say they disapprove of joe biden's policies. latina voters could prove

decisive in more than a dozen competitive senate and house races and three of them are in south texas. recent elections and polling indicate that more latinos are now leaning towards republicans. cnn's boris sanchez has the story. >> reporter: running in texas's 15th district, monica de la cruz is a mother and a former democrat. >> the democratic party has abandoned us and taken us for granted. >> reporter: part of a trio on the balance let, it's overwhelmingly hispanic. de la cruz is poised to reform the region along size cassie garcia and congresswoman maya flores. the first republican elected to congress from the rio grande valley in more than a century.

the triple threat, as the gop calls them, signaling a potential political realignment as donald trump made gains with latinos in 2020. >> my habolita was democratic. >> reporter: de la cruz was won over after attending her first trump rally. >> he didn't have a political background. he was a businessman and his business policies, again, they made sense for people. he stood up against the establishment and he put forth policies that helped families. >> reporter: pro tax cuts, pro wall and against abortion. he says he pays three times what he used to for a box of eggs while faulting democrats for under valuing faith, family and

small business. >> reporter: independent contractor says it boils down to results over rhetoric. >> i'll take a mean tweet right about now over what we've got now, yeah. ♪ ♪ >> reporter: another former democrat led trump's hispanic advertising in 2020. >> so what people have to understand is that hispanic americans have blue collar working class values. who's america's blue collar billionaire? donald trump. >> reporter: pointing to trends over the last decade that show latinos experiencing gains when it comes to incomes, home purchases and starting new businesses, sopol says many latino voters view trump aspirationally. >> donald trump to them is the

first hispanic president because he shares the blue collar values. >> you, i imagine, do not agree with that? >> no, i do not. >> reporter: michelle vaillejo is the democrat running in texas 15. she's also a entrepreneur operating the flea market her parents founded 25 years ago. like her opponent, she is also a political newcomer challenging an establishment she says has too long existed. >> i'm looking forward to hopefully earning their support and their vote even if they do support and adore trump because i'm fighting for all of our families in south texas whether they're republican, independent or people who have never felt engaged by the political system before.
