hello and a warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and around the world. i'm max foster. bianca is off. just ahead -- >> we can't keep spending the amount of money we're spending. the country is going broke. >> we're diysfunctional. >> just that simple. >> a whole new concept of individuals. and ukrainian security and global protection of freedom is working. 100%. every cent. >> there is no end in sight. we were told this could sxgo on for years. it is another forever war. >> we're on the border asking for help, this is unacceptable. please just enforce the laws that are on the books.

>> live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is friday, september 22, 9:00 a.m. in london, 4:00 a.m. in washington, d.c. where many will be heading to work this morning but most lawmakers who work in the u.s. capitol are not. and that is because house speaker kevin mccarthy sent them home after they didn't have the votes to pass a short term fundinging bill to avoid a looming shutdown. hardliners tanked a vote to advance funding for the defense department usually one of the easiest packages to pass. despite the dysfunction, president zelenskyy was able to meet with congressional leaders in his continuing quest for more military aid. ukrainian leader and his wife are now in canada to meet with prime minister justin trudeau and speak to the canadian

parliament as well. u.s. lawmakers have until the end of next week to overt another shutdown, but few expect congress to act in time. melanie zanona has the latest from capitol hill. >> reporter: house republicans are heading home without finding a solution to fund the government. kevin mccarthy decided to cancel votes for the rest of the week after a ftumultuous few dies. initially the gop was planning to put a short term funding bill on the floor on saturday. they loaded it up with a number of conservative priorities trying to win over hard line conservative critics. but that was not enough. they did not have the votes to be able to pass the bill. and in a further sign of the dysfunction, the gop wasn't even able to pass a procedural vote on a defense bill. speaker kevin mccarthy was advisably frustrated after that vote went down. let's take a listen. >> it is frustrating in the sense that i don't understand why anybody votes depends bringing the idea and having the

debate. this is a whole new concept of individuals that just want to burn the whole place down. >> reporter: house republicans will start focusing on individual long term spending bills instead of the short term funding bill that didn't have the votes. but that means that they would need to pass 11 bills within the next nine days and they have only passed one the entire year. so a tricky feat for them to accomplish and not to mention those bills would be dead on rifle in the senate. so increasingly likely that we're headed toward a government shutdown. melanie zanona, cnn, which i will. >> past shutdowns have been mets city affairs. earlier in the week we heard from republicans complaining about their hardliners who are blocking key votes to keep the government running. >> we're dysfunctional. just that simple. we are so dysfunctional. we have got nobody at the head, you know, i've said the train

has left the station. >> it is frustrating because you will hurt our defense and this is absurd. >> i'm not going to be party to a shutdown. it does not serve a purpose. and you save no money. you end up costing the american people more money with a shutdown. so it is really illogical. at the end of the day, any final bill is going to be bipartisan. and if somebody doesn't realize that, they are truly clueless. president volodymyr zelenskyy has wrapped up his u.s. visit with a heartfelt thank you. he spoke late thursday at the national archives in washington. the u.s. is sending an additional $325 million in military aid to kyiv and mr. zelenskyy says that is exactly what ukraine soldiers need. >> american investment this ukrainian security and global protection of freedom is

working. 100%. every cent. instead of dictating terms to america, europe and the whole free world, putin is forced to humiliate himself by personally entertaining a delegation from pyongyang. >> that of course a reference to kim jung-un's visit to russia earlier this month and speculation about pyongyang providing weapons to moscow. president biden promised to help kyiv defend against russian aggression for as long as it takes. kayla tausche reports from the white house. >> reporter: ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy wrapping up a critical visit to washington, including a stop at the white house. >> how important is this visit? president? >> reporter: to sustain the marathon of war. funding set to dry up in weeks. the biden administration sending more weaponry, himars systems

and cluster munitions for money already agreed to by congress. zelenskyy in his trademark fatigues sharing his battlefield perspective with the white house cabinet. >> i thank the united states of america and mr. president for the new defense package for ukraine. very powerful package. thank you so much. and it has exactly what our soldiers need. >> reporter: his plans to rebuild with the former commerce secretary. but first he needs tens of billions of dollars to fight. lawmakers on capitol hill still skeptical. >> i wish ukraine well and i also wish our european allies to do their part. >> reporter: house speaker kevin mccarthy refusing to commit to a vote on new funding. >> our first, we have to get our

fiscal house taken care of here in america. rrlt . >> we're providing ukraine help to make forward progress and also defend the territory that they continue to hold against russian efforts. because putin has not given up on his goal which is to subjugate the country of ukraine and we won't permit that to happen and the ukrainian people will not permit that to happen. >> reporter: president biden and president zelenskyy were asked by reporters how confident they were that the u.s. congress would support that additional aid for ukraine. president biden answering on behalf of both leaders that he was relying on the good judgment of congress and in his words said there is no alternative. kayla tausche, cnn, the white house. president zelenskyy got a less than enthusiastic reception from kevin mccarthy. he wouldn't allow official photographers access to his meeting with the ukrainian president. a source shared this photo

though. mccarthy also said that lawmakers were too busy for zelenskyy to address a joint meeting of congress. >> i have questioned for him. where is the accountability in the money we already spent, what is the plan for victory. i think that is what the american public wants to know. look, what russia has done is wrong. we want to make sure it ends. but i've always said no matter the issue i want accountability for whatever the hard working taxpayers spend their money on. >> just hours before the meetings in washington, russia struck ukraine's energy facilities for the first time in months. the attacks came as the country gears up for cold weather when they will need more power for heating. as fred pleitgen reports, they think more attacks are likely to come. >> reporter: vladimir putin unleashing massive aerial attacks across ukraine just as ukraine's president visits capitol hill and the white

house. firefighters requiring the wounded out of the burning ruins of this hotel . the sound i heard was boom and i saw all the windows were gone and the kitchen and bedroom this woman says. and she adds that around 6:00 in the morning there was an explosion, a strong one. we came here, saw the windows that shattered in the shop. kyiv says the russian launched 43 cruise missiles in the early morning hours and while air defenses were able to shoot down most of them, some did come through. also hitting energy infrastructure, kyiv saying the power grid here hasn't been attacked on the scale in half a year. the ukrainians certain more strikes will follow as temperatures begin to fall. we can make certain assumptions that the fuel and energy sector facilities will be further targeted by the energy the air

force spokesman says. zelenskyy urging the u.s. and its allies to provide more modern air defense systems, but ukraine also fighting back. the satellite company planet labs releasing these images after the ukrainians say they struck russian targets in occupied crimea including a military airfield. on the front lines, ukrainians say they are making gains. cover me, i'll get closer to them, this soldier says. this video released by a unit operating on the eastern front. while in the south, kyiv says its counteroffensive there is also gaining steam even though the going remains tough. despite mining and engineering equipment as well as strong resistance from the occupiers, our units had partial success advanced into the depths of the he enemy's defense and along the front he says. but the russians may already be gearing up for yet another large scale aerial campaign against ukraine's critical

infrastructure. fred pleitgen, cnn, zaporizhzhia. in the next hour poll land's president is set to address on forum on the reconstruction of ukraine. he will speak two days after his prime minister put future weapons deliveries in to question and that warsaw would pull the plug on sending new weapons amid a bitter dispute over poland he's ban on ukrainian grain import. but thursday poland's president walked back on the prime minister's statement suggesting it was misunderstood. >> translator: the prime minister talked about this weapons in the context of the new weapons we're buying for our army. yes, that was the statement. in my opinion, the prime minister said well not transfer to ukraine new weapons that we are currently purchasing as a part of the modernization of our army. lithuania stepped into the dispute thursday offering to mediate in this social media

post here. katie polglase has been monitoring all of this. i mean, they have stepped back slightly if you look at the president's words. but i was in poland earlier in the year and it is amazing how much support there was for ukraine. surprising to think that they might be pulling back from that. >> exactly. and there is an indication that maybe ukraine underestimated quite how seriously poland was going to get upset about all of this dispute, hence why we saw such extreme language in terms of how dissatisfied ukraine was with the polish response to banning ukrainian grain. now clearly they are recognizing how upset poland has got and this declaration of potentially not giving new weapons to ukraine as well, clearly there is a climb down from the ukrainian side saying this is not a crisis, they can talk about it, various different members of the ukrainian leadership, zelenskyy himself, all now saying that there are ways to get around this and also worst mentioning that this is because poland and ukraine have similar security concerns.

so have a listen to what ukraine's ambassador to poland said just yesterday about this. >> translator: i believe that this cooperation will continue. because i believe that military support for ukraine is in the interests of the republic of poland. because it is not charity or philanthropy, it is also investment in drone security. we must do everything to stop this enemy in ukraine so that the russian boot does not trample on polish soil. >> so there he is talking about the concerns of russian aggression in a variety of countries, not just ukraine. but it is of course a serious issue this grain dispute and it didn't come from nowhere. clearly a compromise needs to be had. if you look at the agreement just made with slovakia, another country that banned ukrainian grain recently, there was a compromise. yesterday we heard saying that they have made a grain trade agreement which basically involves issuing and controlling

licenses for ukrainian grain. perhaps that is something that they can work out. and we heard from president duda saying that he is happy to happy a face on to face meeting with ukraine to talk about it as friends. so he understands that it is important that their relationship continues in a friendly manner, but also there needs to be some kind of compromise to resolve this. >> and basically there is so much ukraine grain going into those nations that the prices have collapsed. and that is a problem for farmers. >> there are national concerns. every country has to think about their own national interests and for polish farmers the prices is massively undercutting so damaging for them economically. and clearly this did not come from nowhere, this concern has been brewing for a while. they imposed a ban, eu tried to suspend the ban and poland said that they would defy the ban. so clearly strong feelings about how this cheaper grain is impacting them. they feel clearly that ukraine

has not taken the issue seriously enough and then this very critical language coming quite publicly from zelenskyy himself, that escalated to a point clearly it should not have got to and so they are starting to deescalate the situation. and security against urussian aggression is important. >> and what is the rest of the world thinking when they see zelenskyy really struggling to convince some republicans that he needs more weapons? >> it is not looking good. if you look at the republican standpoint here, they are clearly saying they are not promising that they will continue to be military funding for ukraine. with regards to europe in particular, that security is very important. u.s. military aid to ukraine has protected europe as a whole from the russian aggression, not just ukraine. so poland and various other neighboring countries will be looking at these conversations

between rm and epublican and democratic lawmakers and worried about the future of european security. >> katie, thank you so much. rupert murdoch is stepping down from his business empire. the 92-year-old chairman of fox corp and news corp is transitioning away and giving control to lack lachlan rupert. in a memo he wrote my entire professional life i've been engaged daily with news and ideas and that won't change. but the time is right for me to take on different roles knowing that we have truly talented teams. murdoch built a vast empire across the globe which includes the "wall street journal," britain's "times" and sky news in australia where news corp is

also owner of various newspapers. and 1990s saw fox network as a major competitor but he will be known for fox news and the reputation for right wing propaganda and conspiracy theories. earlier former australian prime minister malcolm turnbull talked about lachlan murdoch. >> in my experience and most people who know him would agree with this i think is more ideological, he is more consistently right wing, you know, in that sense. and so, you know, fox new, he is not like james murdoch who is appalled by what his father's media empire is doing and as you know resigned from the board. lachlan is all in. he has a formula that does enormous damage to the countries

in which it operate respect but also one that is enormously profitable. so i'm sure lack lahlan will continue with it. and i have no doubt that rupert murdoch will be very closely involved for a very long time. still ahead, new polling for u.s. presidential candidates, it is a heated race for second place. and plus accusations are flying between india and canada sending diplomatic relations into an absolute tailspin.

diplomatic dispute between india and canada is escalating. india has suspended visa services for canadian citizens and foreign ministry is accusing canada of harboring terrorists after the prime minister suggested that india government may have played a role of the assassination of a sikh recent.

doesn't mean to be much progress. any movements to try to resolve it? >> reporter: yesterday there was a strong worded statement that i'll get to in a moment, but resetting ties is nowhere on the horizon really because you have the spokesperson here in india saying that if you are talking about reputational damage, that there is a country that needs to look at this, i think it is canada and its growing reputation as a safe haven for terrorists and extremists and organized crime. i think that is a country that needs to worry about its international reputation. this was in response to a question asked by a journalist on how independent ia should be is concerned about its reputation after the strong allegation made by justin trudeau on the floor of the house in canada monday. these are strong words to use against another country.

and it is quite clear from this and also the developments on thursday where india had announced that it will be suspending temporarily visas of canadian nationals not only in canada, but those residing in other countries as well. we also heard from the canadian high commission in new delhi and they would that they would be downsizing their diplomatic presence here in india. responding to that, the indian government said that while it is only fair that there is parity in ranks since they say that the canadian officials have a larger presence in india than india has in canada. so that is what has been happening over the last 24 hours. but the biggest development in the last few hours has also been the reaction to the white house. you've had the national security adviser of america reacting to questions from the media where they ask thethe -- they asked h

where they stand. and he won't divulge about whether president biden has already spoken to narendra modi or if he will. let's listen. >> i won't get into private diplomatic conversations that have either already happened or are going to happen on this topic. only to say that we have been and will be in contact with the indians at high levels on this issue. >> reporter: the white house has repeatedly called on the indian government to cooperate in the investigations with canada, but india says they haven't heard from canada ever since the strong allegation was made by trudeau. but the big question, and this is not only a question that indians are asking here back home, but also the opposition leaders in canada, where is the proof, mr. trudeau. >> vedika sud, thank you so

much. and azerbaijan officials say that they will back fighters who have surrendered. two days after azerbaijan forces seized control, representatives on both sides discussed how to continue ta integrate it. but tuesday there was a strike against armenian separatists killing at least 200 people. six russian peacekeepers were also reportedly killed and armenia's prime minister explained why armenia didn't interfere. >> translator: many believe that in this tense regional environment in the face of occasional military conflicts that it is not adequate to talk about peace. this path is not easy. but we must go through it for the sake of independence. for the sake of statehood, for the sake of the future.

>> and the situation has been deteriorating for months after azerbaijan blocked shipments of humanitarian aid into the enclave. dramatic new surge of migrants crossing illegally into the u.s. each day and it is causing tension between federal and state authorities in border towns. a report from texas is coming up.

welcome back. i'm max foster.

if you are just joining us, let me bring you up-to-date with the top stories. volodymyr zelenskyy will be spending the day with justin trudeau. he is expected to address canada's parliament later today. rupert murdoch stepping down and handing over control of his media empire to his eldest son lachlan. new polling shows a close contest to be runner up behind donald trump in the u.s. presidential race, that suggests a sizable share of likely republican voters are open to changing their minds about their preferred candidate. jeff zeleny reports from washington. >> reporter: with second republican presidential debate now on the horizon scheduled for next week, candidates are scrambling to try to distinguish themselves from one another. this really has effectively become a race for second place. let's look at a couple new state by state polls that have just been released. in iowa for example, which

starts off the nominating process next january, of course donald trump holding a commanding lead in iowa. but look at nikki haley. she has increased her standing there in recent weeks and now this truly is a race for second place as ron desantis from florida has fallen. in south carolina the same thing. former president trump holding a commanding lead in the race. but nikki haley is in second place there, her home state of course. but it is in new hampshire where this race for second place truly is fascinating. of course the former president not quite as strong there, but there is essentially a four-way tie for second place. on thursday in new hampshire nikki haley was asked by a voter to distinguish herself from donald trump. >> he was the right president at the right time. he was thin skinned and easily distracted. he didn't do anything on fiscal policy. and really spent a lot of money

and we're all paying the price for it. he used to be good on moreforei policy and now he's started to walk it back and get weak in the news when it comes to ukraine. >> reporter: and that is a line that all the republican candidates are trying to walk distinguishing themselves from the former president without alienating some of his supporters. but one of the central reasons that nikki haley is climbing because she is finding favor among moderate voters, the voters who want to turn the page from trump. so the race starting to feel slightly different in the early voting states, but again the debate next wednesday in california certainly an inflection point in this race. jeffzeleny, cnn, washington. the mayor of a texas border town says the federal government has been silent over the surge. he says about 5,000 people have crossed into his town of eagle pass. prompting him to declare a state

of emergency earlier this week. he says that the crossings have also taken an economic toll on the community because the bridge connecting the town to mexico had to be closed due to the influx. and the mayor says he believes that president biden bears some responsibility for the crisis. here is the man. >> you have all these thousands of people just walking in without any consequence whatsoever. so the word is getting out, it is kind of a come one come all type of approach and you have all these people coming. there is no consequence. and i just want to say that i think that this is unacceptable. it is a shame that we don't have immigration reform and a solution to prevent situations like this. >> ed lavendera is in eagle pass where he spoke with some of the migrants trying to get into the u.s. >> reporter: dozens of migrants stand in the rio grande moments after forming a human chain to cross the river. and through layers of razor wire trying to reach eagle pass,

texas. they tell me they are from venezuela, among them a woman and her toddler. danger for them is real. two people including a 3-year-old boy have drowned this week after being swept away in the river current. but after a nearly 3,000 mile journey, they accept the risk. how long will you wait here? [ speaking in a non-english language ] they say that they will wait here until they let them in. migrants tell us that they have been robbed and attacked on the mexican side of the river. they figure out a way to crawl under the razor wire. one man instantly apologized. >> they wanted to apologize for crossing illegally and they are begging for mercy, to understand that they are coming from a country where they are persecuted and they feel like if they were to be returned home, they would be killed. >> reporter: the mass influx of migrants is causing tension between federal and state

authorities. tex texas governor abbott accusing border agents of cutting razor wire allowing trapped migrants to turn themselves in. dhs officials refused to comment. on wednesday about 3,000 migrants crossed into eagle pass alone. >> it is something very strange. never now the i'd see something like that. >> reporter: the local sheriff tells us that smugglers are preying on the hopes of migrants offering to move them to other cities if they can get into the u.s. >> i know this because we have smugglers coming from houston, florida, austin, everywhere to pick up the immigrants. >> reporter: reasons for the surge vary, but those we spoke to say they have grown from us rated with the cvp-1 app that processes formal applications. many waiting months on the mexican side for an appointment. these two men from venezuela say that they crossed illegally because they are desperate and have been waiting three months for the appointment to request

asylum. a risk we had to take, he tells me. it is in god's hands. right now the question that local officials all along the u.s. southern border have is whether or not this latest surge of migrants is an anomaly, temporary problem, or a sign of a more sustained problem that they will be dealing with for weeks if not months ahead. right now no one really seems to have a clear answer. ed lavandera, cnn. still to come, new images point to expansion of nuclear test sites by the three biggest nuclear powers in the world. we'll have details on that.

according to new satellite images, three of the biggest nuclear powers have constructed new facilities for their test sites. ivan watson has more on what it might signal. >> reporter: no secret that there is growing geopolitical tension between the u.s. and russia and china. all three powers routinely conduct military exercises clearly trying to demonstrate their strength to each other. and it stands to reason that eventually this competition would start to bleed into an area that i think many people haven't really thought about since the end of the cold war and that is their nuclear arsenals. cnn has gotten an exclusive look

at the serious investment that all three donees, china, russia and the u.s., have put into their nuclear weapons testing sights.donees, china, russia and the u.s., have put into their nuclear weapons testing sights. the three most powerful are all expanding their nuclear testing sites. the evidence revealed in these commercial satellite images on be takened exclusively by cnn. these are the russian, chinese and american nuclear testing sites. this one in the arctic ocean, a dried up salt lake in china, and also the nevada national security site northwest of las vegas. images from each location show new tunnels, roads and storage facilities constructed within the last five years jeffrey

lewis cheollected and analyzed these images. >> one big factor is a desire to make sure nuclear weapons that they designed and tested in the 1980s and 1990s still work. >> all three countries, russia, china and the united states, have invested a great deal of time, effort and money this not only modernizing their sites but the types of activities that would be required to a test. >> reporter: while there is no evidence of an imminent test, russia's site did see a burst of new construction over the last two years. on the one year anniversary of his full-scale invasion of ukraine, russian president putin declared russia's readiness to conduct nuclear tests. >> translator: some figures in washington, we know this for a fact, are already thinking about the possibility of a natural test on their nuclear weapons. if the u.s. con tugtducts tests

will do so too. >> welcome to u 1 a -- >> reporter: this time lapse reveals five years of an expansion in nevada. a spokesperson from the u.s. national nuclear security administration confirmed to cnn that it is, quote, recapitalizing infrastructure and scientific capabilities at the complex. adding the united states has not conducted a nuclear explosive test since 1992 and has no plans to do so. since the end of above ground testing, governments have used deep tunnels for their nuclear tests. satellite images reveal a new fifth tunnel carved out at chai's testing site along with a growing by of excavated debris. washington accuses china of dramatically expanding its nuclear arsenal. >> we project out to 2035.

>> reporter: and in a statement china's foreign ministry denied plans to test saying this kind of report only speaks on hearsay evidence and hypes up china's nuclear threat for no reason. >> fire! >> reporter: the specter of a new nuclear test would shatter restraint exhibited by the u.s., china and russia since the 1990s. >> if you are a former in ohio or a shopkeeper in shanghai, the threat of nuclear testing is not the test themselves. it is the fact that you are essentially agreeing to pay vast sums of money in an arms race that no one can win but we can all lose. >> reporter: as far as we know, not wofrnone of the three count has conducted a full-scale test since the 1990s, most recently that would be china in 1996. the u.s. has been conducting sub

critical tests meant to ensure reliability of existing nuclear weapons, some of which have been around for longer than 30 years, longer than many might keep a car in their garage. but investing so heavily in these nuclear weapons testing facilities does not bode well in this environment of groving geopolitical tension and mutual suspicion. ivan watson, cnn, hong kong. the uk's king charles makes history speaking before the french senate. we'll tell you about his pledge to france just ahead.

lowered, business is on a high. he is co-founder of a startup that says it has developed an innovative waste water treatment system. >> key solution is bion web that harnesses the power of nature to treat waste water. >> reporter: instead of adding chemicals, he says that plants such as mint and reeds help to break down the contaminants in the water. currently they have two different sites in the uae. and he says ongoing support will be key to his success. >> ecosystems have matured and they are more selective. if you are not looking at things, if you are just pilots, being in accelerators here that could really tie you in with companies and individuals that are visa radio -a-vis understand
