officially on strike. tens of thousands of actors now joining thousands of riders on the picket line with the entertainment industry at a halt. where does this go? >> money for the military on the mind for capitol hill. political battles over abortion, trans right and diversity are standing in the way of getting a critical defense spending bill through congress. president joe biden's new move to wipeout $39 billion in student loan debt. how the administration is pulling this off after the supreme court put the brakes on their last effort. this is cnn news central. hollywood is effectively shut down for the first time in 63 years. two major unions are on strike. movie and tv actors joining writers and heading to picket

line's coast to coast. hollywood's largest union comprised of 160,000 actors made the big decision after talks with the major studios and streaming services fell apart. they now join the 11,000 members of the guild who have been on strike since may. these fights are hitting very hard and hitting very far and wide. upcoming film releases, new tv shows, they will not be coming soon. releases and premieres will be delayed and the stars of those shows will not be out promoting their work. perfect example is what just happened. the stars of the new movie with the likes of matt damon and emily blunt blocked out of the uk premier for their film last night after the strike was called. here is more on this. chloe, where do things stand today? >> reporter: it's a tough situation and you will see people picketing later today in

new york and los angeles. i want to point out it's not just actors that are being effective. it's the security, it's the craft services, it's all of the people behind the scenes that are making these productions work and all going to be out of jobs. i've been hearing from them. what's at stake? the actors and writers are asking for better pay. they are asking for streaming residuals and artificial intelligence is a major sticking point. one of the major issues was a.i. proposal. this was something we heard about yesterday that we note that negotiator for sag aftra and the alliance of motion picture and television producers were going bacan forth. what they are offering when it comes to a.i. is not ground performers, the extras. when you see those scenes, and game of thrones where you have all these actors in the background. what they want to do is they want to scan these actors and

geone days pay and use their likess and perpetuity without paying them anymore. that is a sticking point. we heard from fran drescher who is the president of sag aftra at a press conference really coming out strong about why they did not come to any sort of agreement and why it has led to a full on strike. take a listen. >> you cannot change the business model as much as it has changed. not expect the contract to change also. we are not going to keep doing incremental changes on a contract that no longer honors what is happening right now with this business model that was foisted upon us. what are we doing? moving around furniture on the titanic? it's crazy. the jig is up. we stand tall.

you have to wake up and smell the coffee. we are labor and we stand tall and we demand respect. and to be honored for our contribution. you share the wealth because you cannot exist without us. >> that's fran drescher, the president of sag aftra coming out strong at the press conference. today, you will see picketing in front of studios in los angeles and new york and see some famous faces on the front lines. >> how are the studios responding this morning? >> the alliance of motion picture and television producers is what are saying. they presented a deal that offered historic pay in a groundbreaking a.i. proposal that protects actors digital likenesses. the union has chosen a path that will lead to financial hardship for countless thousands of people who depend

on the industry. they are strong. the actors are staying strong on their stance. the writers are staying strong. we've seen strikes in the past go on for months and could see this go into the fall if neither side is willing to meet in the middle. >> thank you, chloe. we will see this pickup today. this is all just getting underway. >> it's unprecedented. we haven't seen this in 60 plus years. what does this mean to you, the viewer? the options are getting very slim when it comes to what you can watch. september it usually brings a brand-new season of the shows you watch. don't count on that this fall. when you can expect is more reality shows and maybe game shows. things that are not scripted. when the writers strike was looming. the ceo said back in april we had to make plans for the worst.

we have a robust slate of releases to take us into a long time. network productions for daytime soap operas can still happen. writers are typically not members of the union and actors have a different contract than the one that has expired. as for movies, any remaining production will stop. the release of next year's big summer block busters like peter two and mortal kombat two could be pushed. the only exception to moviemaking right now is independent films. they are not tied to any major production studio. live theater will continue. actors who are union members can participate in live theatrical productions. add that up and they double with hollywood strikes. the pair of strikes could cause 4 billion sorry $4 billion or more in losses. here is more on this. vanessa, can you break down who and what and how this will impact financially?

>> it's rare to have one hollywood strike. now we have two. you have 160,000 actors joining the 11,000 writers that have been on strike for 10 weeks. we've seen the impacts of the writers's strike. it's not just the studios that will be losing money and not just the income for the actors and writers which is something nobody wants to see. it is a ripple effect and chloe spoke about this. it's the impact to janitors, impact to craft services, the impact to uber driver's. as well as deli owners where the productions happen . also prop companies who supply so much for these productions. this is no longer a u.s. economic impact. this will have impacts on other places internationally. u.s. production studios go abroad. we could see impacts in the uk, new zealand, australia and

anywhere that we see a studio doing postproduction work. we heard from the disney ceo yesterday on cnbc. he says this strike will have collateral damage on other industries. to put this into perspective, the last writers' strike we saw in 2007 and lasted 15 weeks. that's on economic impact of $2 billion. if this does not get wrapped up soon, they are looking at $4 billion and much more to come. >> thank you, vanessa. to the battle concerning military spending on capitol hill. the house will debate more amendments to a must pass defense spending bill. for six decades, congress has approved the national defense authorization act in a largely bipartisan fashion. last night, republican hardlines tech not antiabortion, anti-trans and anti-diversity amendments

threatening pay raises for service members and future investments in military infrastructure. lauren fox is live on the hill. what has been the response of all this? >> reporter: democrats are furious arguing this is suppose to be a bipartisan effort to support men and women in uniform across this country to ensure the u.s. military has everything it needs at home and abroad. instead, this has evolved into a culture war. what you can expect to see today in this final vote is the fact that democrats are expected to peel off in mass. maybe a handful five to seven democrats who vote with republicans on this legislation. democrats and republicans were united as it came out of committee. this was a bipartisan bill. kevin mccarthy, the house speaker leaned into those hard- line conservatives that were asking for votes on a series of controversial amendments including one that would reverse the department of defense is policy of

reimbursing travel for individual servicemen and women who have to travel across state lines in order to seek abortion care if the state they are stationed in does not provide that care or if the state they are stationed in does not have legal access to that care. that is a major turning point in this negotiation with democrats. that is what technocrats argued they could not support this bill. it's a difficult calculation. in part because you have so many democrats with military installations in their districts. they say this is deciding between supporting men and women in the military, pay raises for the military, more money and future promises of infrastructure projects in the military versus having to decide on the basis of these social issues. they say they cannot violate the conscience. there could be a handful of democrats who support this but all eyes are whether kevin mccarthy can keep his

conference together. he said he's confident he will have the vote he needs. they indicated republicans will carry this across the finish line on their own here in the house. >> there was a stunning moment that caused a fiery response during debate yesterday where an arizona republican use the term colored people for black americans. what happened they are? >> reporter: want to play this clip for you. it was a stunning moment on the house floor. part of this long debate that happened late into the evening yesterday. here it is. >> my amendment has nothing to do whether or not colored people or black people or anybody can serve. it has nothing to do -- >> mr. speaker, i would like to be recognized to have the words colored people stricken from the record. i find it offensive and very

inappropriate. >> can i amend my comments to people of color? >> he wishes to amend his comments. >> mr. speaker, to have the word stricken. i didn't ask for an amendment. >> reporter: you see that part of the debate last night over in the house of representatives. it goes to show you how much this debate has evolved over the last several days as they have moved forward with debating the national defense authorization act. we should say again, this was a bill that passed out of committee with bipartisan support. it's changed immensely over the last five days. >> thank you, lauren for your reporting. coming up, russian president vladimir putin speaking out about the wegner group since its fighters lead a

he described a meeting with a senior fighters and wegner boss yevgeny prigozhin . the kremlin says that meeting happened five days after he led that failed rebellion against the military. the article details how president putin is putting a wedge between yevgeny prigozhin and thousands of fighters. alex, you are there. what are you learning about this interesting development we are hearing from president putin in that media article? >> reporter: it is interesting. it appears that he's making two points. one, legally there are no mercenary groups allowed in russia and the other that he's not operating in ukraine and we heard the from the pentagon last night. what form -- what form he takes beyond ukraine is a question. they have operations in africa and the middle east and the

fate of their leader yevgeny prigozhin. that's in the balance. here's more what president putin told the newspaper. we do not have a law for private military organizations he said. it does not exist. there's no such legal entity. he admits that it is not an easy question. he gave interesting details about that meeting five days after that mutiny. he met with 35 commanders at the kremlin. yevgeny prigozhin was there and she said to the commanders you can join them russian military keep fighting to your current commander and continue to stay in this fight. the men are not in agreement with yevgeny prigozhin . he said the guys do not agree with this decision. we don't know from this article how this ended. it does appear that president putin is trying to divide and weaken yevgeny prigozhin while maintaining the wegner

fighters who are a significant fighting force. >> it's very interesting to see where those thousands of paid fighters go. you work the news yesterday. these controversial u.s. applied cluster munitions are in ukraine. spoke to a general who said that's what happened. what more do you know along those lines? are they being used yet? >> reporter: let me answer your last question. those wegner fighters are still in russia occupied ukraine. as for the cluster munitions, the general told me they have not been used. the pentagon did confirm our reporting from this general that these u.s. highly controversial cluster munitions are in ukraine ready to be used. the pentagon said there is a third country that had provided cluster munitions. we understand that country is turkey. ukraine and russia have both

previously used cluster munitions during this conflict. how did these american cluster munitions get to ukraine so quickly? they had been pre-position in europe. the question is when will they first be used and a u.s. official told me they decided the russians will be the first to know. >> thank you, alex. let's get to this and more. joining us now is the corner for strategic communications at the national security council at the white house. john kirby. i want to start with ukraine. it's all wrapped up in an important thing that happened overnight. republicans passing several controversial amendments to the national defense authorization act. this massive defense bill now in question. what is the message of the commander in chief on what happened overnight? >> he looks forward to having the and daa on his desk and get

our troops and military well- funded and well resourced for the missions they are taking on around the world. we are waiting to see what that legislation looks like when he gets to his desk. we've seen what the house republicans have tried to do to it. the president believes the national defense authorization act should be focused on making sure our troops have the training and tools and capabilities they need to defend this country all around the world. that's where he wants the focus to be. i will not get debating these amendments. i want to make this point. he believes that diversity and inclusion and equity in the united states military is important. we represent and defend all of the united states. all americans. he believes that female servicemembers and female family members of service members should be able to get the reproductive care they need. if there station in a state where it's not available

because of state law and he fully supports the pentagon's policy of providing leave and travel allowances for those folks to get the reproductive care they need. one in five servicemembers are women and it's important we listen to their needs and take care of them appropriately. >> those provisions were passed. those were three of the amendments passed overnight. and will be on the final version of the bill the house needs to vote on. does the president want democrats to vote against the ndaa as you see it today in the house? >> reporter: i will not speak for the voting inclinations. i will not get ahead of the legislative process. >> i understand that but the president would need to sign this into law. if the bill as we saw with the amendments coming out of the house overnight would be the

version to come to his desk, would he veto it? >> reporter: it's hypothetical. there's a long way to go before this legislation gets to his desk. >> do you see the president sign a national defense authorization act that limits transgender rights, that rips out diversity training and does exactly the opposite of what you said the president supports when it comes to access to reproductive rights. >> reporter: it is difficult to see the present supporting legislation that would make it harder for americans to serve in uniform and not be able to do so with dignity, not do so with the proper care they need. it's difficult to see the president would ever sign legislation that would put our troops at greater risk or readiness at greater risk. >> this is put the administration in a tough position having to explain why democrats would vote against

pay raises for the military and future investment in infrastructure which is a big part of what the ndaa is. >> the president is confident he will not sign legislation that will not affect our military readiness in a negative way or affect our people. he will leave it to members of congress to decide how they will vote. he's not going to support amendments, not support legislation that will put our readiness or troops in greater risk. >> turning our focus overseas to ukraine and russia's war in ukraine. just yesterday, a pentagon spokesperson told reporters that wegner forces and the way he put it were no longer contributing as a significant combat capability in ukraine. what do you make and what does the white house administration and the president make the fact the yevgeny prigozhin forces

are not in the fight. do you assess or think they will return to the fight? >> reporter: we don't know. we don't know what the future of wegner will be whether it's in ukraine or anywhere else around the world. we know they are conducting malicious activities in africa and a few weeks ago we launched more senses on their group and folks supporting them. we don't know what the future of the group will be. it's very opec. what is not opec and what we do know is the russians still have a significant amount of forces in ukraine on defense all along from bakhmut to different areas and there is fighting going on. we are focused on making sure ukraine has what they need to

be successful. >> real quick. one other topic that came up when the president was taking questions from reporters overseas yesterday as he was wrapping up his nato trip and his meetings in finland. the president called senator tommy tupper bills hold on military promotions calling them irresponsible. after that, he and secretary austin did hold a call. have you worked this thing out yet? >> reporter: i don't believe there's been a solution. no. it's good the secretary of defense and the senator had a chance to talk. they are still having an effect on military readiness and the lives and livelihoods of hundreds of military families here. this blanket hold needs to end and end immediately. >> do you think the president sitting down with him could change that? >> reporter: that will be up to

the senator. if the president thought the meeting between the two of them would break this and have useful impact on him dropping his hold, he would consider doing that. i don't know if we are at that point. we don't need to be at that point. it should not take a meeting with the president and should not take a conversation with the secretary of defense for the senator to do the right thing for the american people and for the american electorate. what he is doing now, it is not the right thing for a military readiness. >> thank you, john. great conversation. we are learning jared kushner testified before the grand jury investigating president donald trump and his allies election interference and he's not the only one from his inner circle. details on that ahead. tens of millions of americans in more than a dozen states are facing extreme heat. the latest look at the records

new information. sources tell cnn a suspect is in custody in the case of the long island cereal killer. this is the first arrest in a decade. this unsolved case tied to 10 sets of human remains found across two long island counties. we are following the story. this is a huge break. what are you learning about this? >> reporter: this is one of

those cases in this area of new york on long island were if you talk to those old-time detectives they are saying this is the one they wanted to solve. it's a mystery. it's a huge development in this case for that area. let me walk through the timeline for you. back in 2010 authorities were conducting a missing persons investigation and while that investigation was going on, they came across the body of a 24-year-old woman. within days, they found multiple women along the stretch of beach all long island island. within the next year, there were 10 bodies that were being connected to the same investigation. it became known as the long island cereal killer. it had all these names tied to it as authorities were trying to solve this case. we've learned from sources someone is in custody in connection with these homicides. the details of that are unclear as authorities on the record are not confirming someone is

in custody but we are getting were that will be eight the moment in this investigation. we should learn more today. there's interest around this case and we will keep following this. >> we will be checking back with you for any new details you have. thank you. new reporting on the investigations of former president donald trump. lawyers for walt nauta who was charged alongside have taken steps to apply for the security clearance required in order to handle the classified document case in court before then. on the other special counsel investigation. cnn learned jared kushner and trumps former close aide, hope hicks have testified before a grand jury investigating the 2020 election interference. kate is covering both special

investigations for us. she's joining us now. what are you learning about jared kushner and hope hicks. what they talked to the grand jury about? >> reporter: we don't have a full idea of what went on in those secret proceedings. we know a few crucial things. that took place in june. very recently. some of the focus of what these two witnesses and others that were close to trump in the white house have been asked about is how much trump was aware he lost the election and how people were telling him one on one there's no election fraud. you have lost the election and having some understanding that trump knew he lost even though he was saying he won the election. that is pretty significant. it's also significant that

jared kushner and hope hicks are going into the grand jury. we've seen so many aspects of this investigation. we've seen the fake electors. we heard about interviews with officials in battleground states who ran elections. we've heard about mike pence and his top advisers going into the grand jury. now, coming into that inner circle of donald trump. the grand jury is hearing from them. we know jared kushner has always been close to the former president. also working with the campaign and hope hicks was one of the long time top advisers who notably disagreed with what donald trump was doing after the election. quite vocal about it and was unhappy with what happened on january 6. >> on the classified document investigation and how quickly they may or may not start the trial. there is new moves on this one as well. what are you learning in these new court filings? >> reporter: a lot of moving parts on this mar-a-lago documents case charged in florida and headed to trial.

what we have now is the defense teams. they have a lot of the information that is not classified that would be evidence in this case they are allowed to be getting -- that just department confirmed that. they will start seeing the classified information in this case because lawyers for both trump and walt nauta have confirmed to the court they've taken the steps needed to be taken in order for them to get security clearances to have access to the classified materials here. that part will be moving forward. we've got a hearing on tuesday. the first appearance before a federal judge that trial date has had back and forth. trumps team does not want a date to be set. they have made their arguments to the judge. we will be watching and seeing if she says this is when the date will be when donald trump goes to trial or ticket down the road. >> thank you.

we are discussing this now the former u.s. attorney. he's the lee a former deputy assistant attorney general. thank you for being here. let's start with jared kushner and hope hicks testifying. what does that signal to you? this is the inner circle now they are bearing down on. >> you cannot get much more inner than that. we've known about mark meadows, rudy giuliani. this was a month ago. we get flashes and dispatches. smith is building a big mural. he's leaving no stone unturned. that's the first big point. the second is what he may have testified about. giuliani was involved in the fundraising efforts that smith is pursuing separately. also newt gingrich who testified a month ago. you can bet that's what he asked about. this is no stone unturned. apparently, jared kushner said trump.he may had the election

stolen. >> can i ask you about that. that point is important. there are questions being asked whether or not trump actually believed he had lost this because it was soaring. does that matter in this prosecution what he believed if people were telling him he lost? >> great point. the short answer is yes for a jury. legally he's guilty even if he believed he lost that doesn't mean you can insight or dish and insurrection. for a jury to hear and will hear from mark millie and alyssa. he understand he lost. that will matter to them. it will seem the more intentional, nefarious and not accidental. >> any legal thing the defense can stand on to say he thought that it was it. >> they can try to proffer it. he will not testify.

he cannot testify. he would be murdered on cross- examine. it's an inside point. i don't see how they will present this point. >> you talked about alyssa fair griffin. here's what she said. she said that privately he admitted he lost the election and blurted out joe biden on television say can you believe i lost to this guy? there will be differing accounts of what people say he did or did not believe. the jury has to make that decision. let me ask you about this. a big fight over the timing of the classified document case. it's already going to head to trial. there's supposed to be a date set by the judge coming up. the prosecution is saying we need to go forward. we are ready for speedy trial. is a speedy trial something that defendant, it's their right to a speedy trial and can say they don't want one. >> no, they cannot say they

don't want one. it is the right under the constitution and the public's right. you are right. it's about setting the schedule. they do a cheeky move for the prosecution says let's go in december. you may expect them to state march and split the difference. they say we don't have to set one. if judge cannon acquiesces that real delayed strategy it's a bad sign for the timeliness of the whole trial. >> and you give me some sense whether you believe this case -- there's a lot of doubt classified documents. this the defense have a point here that many of the other cases tried with classified documents have gone on for long times before trial. >> we don't know yet. everything they talk about, the things they have to bring can be done in good time. the discussion about classified procedures. while the procedures take a long time? we will know later.
