"cnn this s morning" s starts r now. good morning, everyone. we're glad you're starting your day with us. here are five things to know. president biden and xi jinping easing tensions a bit after their high-stakes face to face summit. the leaders both greeting to reopening some military communications. and president biden signaling new hope for what could be an eminent hostage deal at a news conference last night. he's been deeply involved in the negotiations and is mildly hopeful. also a pro palestinian protest turns violent in washington, d.c. we're told six capitol police officers were injured and several arrests were made. congress has averted a government shutdown. the senate passing a short-term

fund ing bill last night. president biden expected to sign it before friday's headline. and thousands of workers set to walk off the job today. the strike part of their effort to unionize and comes one of the busiest days of the year. "cnn this morning" starts right now. here's where we begin. president biden meeting face to face with the leader of china at a time of global turmoil with warsing in ukraine and between israel and hamas. the most powerful rivals, at their summit near san francisco, the two leaders agreed to restore crucial military to military communications that china cut off last year. >> despite the progress, biden still considers xi a dictator. he said his approach to xi was trust but verify. the president also made several headlines regarding the war with

hamas. he said he's mildly hopeful a about a deal to release the hostages. he also voiced support for the controversial military operation inside gaza's largest hospital, while also cautioning that occupying gaza would be a big mistake. back in washington, d.c., tension boiling over as protesters demanding a cease-fire in gaza clashed with pris. this happened outside of the dnc's headquarters. six of their officers were hurt and cnn is learning top house democrats were inside the building and had to be evacuated. we have team coverage this morning from san francisco to tel aviv. let's start with mj lee. good morning to you. you also asked the crucial question of the president yesterday in all of this. but they sat down person to person. did they accomplish enough? >>. >> reporter: since the two presidents last met a year ago, tensions had really flared between the two countries on

issues like taiwan, the chinese surveillance balloon, prompting beijing to cut off military communications with the u.s. and restoring that had been one of the few deliverables that u.s. officials said they hoped to get out of last night's tsummit. an historic summit between president biden and xi jinping, marking a new chapter in u.s.-china relations. the leaders meeting in person for the first time in a year at a sprawling estate south of san francisco. the high-stakes summit a aimed at deescalating tensions between the two countries. >> it is paramount that you and i understand each other clearly, leader to leader, with no misconceptions or miscommunication. >> two large countries turning their back on each other is not an option. it is unrealistic for one side to remod model the other and confrontation has unbearable consequences for both sides.

>> reporter: biden and xi meeting were four hours behind closed doors. before walking around the grounds of the estate. >> how did it go, mr. president? >> reporter: afterwards biden announce ing the reestablishmen of military communications that china had severed. >> it's been worrisome. that's how accidents happen. >> reporter: as well as a commitment from beijing to crack down on fentanyl production. >> it's going to save lives. i appreciate president xi's commitment on this issue. >> reporter: but at a press conference after the summit, the president saying this about his chinese counterpart. >> would you still refer to xi as a dictator? >> he is. he's a dictator in the sense that he's a guy who runs a country that is different than ours. >> reporter: the president

confronting pneunumerous questi about the israel-hamas war, including on the raid on the hospital in gaza. biden defending the operation when asked whether it was justified. >> it's not like they are are rushing into the hospital and knocking down doors and pulling people aside and shooting people. >> reporter: declining to elaborate on how the u.s. is certain that hamas, in fact, has a command center under the building. >> can you detail what kind of evidence that you have sustained that hamas has a command center under the hospital? >> i won't tell you. >> reporter: the president weighed in on the ongoing hostage negotiations saying he was mildly hopeful, but he really couldn't get into the details. and also on just the question of how long the israel-hamas war might last, he said he couldn't say, but that it really had to

end in a two-state solution and he told the israelis that occupying gaza was not a good idea. >> you weren't on the list of reporters that were supposed to get a question. you got two questions. i think they were the two most critical questions of the night, including what we saw about you asking if president biden still thinks xi jinping is a dictator. there's been fierce blowback this morning. what were u.s. officials saying after that comment? >> reporter: i know you know this better than anybody. sometimes sort of these off the cuff remarks from the presiden and opportunities to ask questions when he's already sort of going, those are critical moments. we took the opportunity to ask him about basically comments he had made last year when he referred to president xi as a dictateor. given that things had basically went pretty well as far as the u.s. officials yesterday at the summit were concerned, i asked

him after all of that, would he still consider him a dictator, and he said, yes. that's basically what we're dealing with when we're dealing with this government in beijing. i think it's just really interesting because u.s. officials had noted heading into the summit that there was so much riding on chinese counterparts that they were dealing with in terms of the optics and how sensitive they were to how the summit would be perceived by the rest of the world. we know for sure this is a label that chinese officials are incredibly sensitive to. >> mj lee, great work. thank you. president biden also weighed in on israel's military operation inside the largest hospital in gaza. >> here's the situation. you have a circumstances where the first war crime is being committed by hamas by having their headquarters, their military hidden under a hospital. that's a fact.

>> let's go to ed lavandera in tel aviv for us. the idf to this point shown some weapons of this ongoing operation. what are they saying today? >> reporter: a senior adviser to benjamin netanyahu is saying that as the military operation in and around the hospital there in the heart of gaza city continues, that in the hours and days ahead, they will be able to provide and will continue to provide more evidence, they say, backs up the claims that the military has made for years that this area in gaza is one of the central areas for which military fighters operate. so far in the initial hours that this operation has gone on, the israeli military has released video was from an area where mris are conducted in the hospital where they found small amounts of firearms and military

equipment. but clearly, not the extensive kind of evidence that is so crucially needed at this moment that would back up the claims that the areas underneath this hospital is this crucial command and control center. so really, this is a crucial moment for the israeli military, as its credibility is quite l little rattle ily on the line here. >> president biden seemed the most optic we heard him in this press conference talking about any potential deal to free the hostages. here's what he said. >> i have been deeply involved in moving on the hostage negotiation. we have gotten great cooperation, but i'm mildly hopeful. >> i wonder what the

government's reaction to that is this morning if and if you have learned anything else a about this potential deal? >> i thus over the last few days what we have heard from israeli government officials is perhaps a little more skepticism. these are very delicate and cumbersome negotiations. it's handled through the qatar government with officials from the top intelligence agencies of israel and the united states passing message ace long to hamas leaders. so all of this is very time consuming. it comes at a time when the families are growing more and more desperate for news as they watch the military operations, the dangerous military operations ongoing inside of gaza. the israeli defense force has confirmed that one of the hostages, a woman was killed. hamas has claimed she was killed in an airstrike, but all of this points to the anxiety, the tension and the desperation this morning of these families are feeling to have the hostage

issue resolved as quickly as possible. >> no question. ed lavandera, thank you for your reporting from tel aviv. new overnight, police clashing with protesters outside the dnc headquarters in washington, d.c. look a at this. after a demonstration against the conflict erupted into chaos last night, police say six officers were hurt. one person has been arrested for assault. said 150 people were illegally protesting in that area. activist groups disputed that claim. police and protesters accusing each other of violence and using pepper spray. officers evacuated several members of congress after activists tried to block the entrances and the exits to the building. among them hakeem jeffries, katherine clark and pete aguilar. fresh off his summit, new polling is out on president biden's handling of foreign affairs. what it could signal for his campaign. could this summit mean a

return? after three of the pandas in the united states were sent back to china. what did president xi say about that, nenext.

president biden emerged from four hours of talks with the chinese leader projecting a sense of confidence and a sense of optimism. had he seemed eager to make two points. one with the dprooufing relationship with china and the other its unchange steadfast

support of israel. joining us is joyce ko and john avlon. thank you for joining us this morning. shelby, i want to start with you. the geopolitical imcomplications of that meeting were noenormous. china is a huge political issue. xi jinping actually raised concerns about perceptions and media coverage related to it. how do you think people looking towards 2024 will view what happened last night? >> i'm actually kind of surprised there hasn't been more chater from 2024 republicans yet on the meeting. i do anticipate that that's going to change probably this morning or this afternoon. because particularly with republicans, china has been a huge topic on the campaign trail that's playing really well in early states like iowa.

people really care about it. overall, i think the sense of optimism that biden portrayed is not necessarily the same that we're hearing here in the u.s. i think maybe he was a little overopts mystic and just historically, you look at he called xi a dictator again. that last time around really didn't bode well for the relationship. so i would say it remains extremely tense, and i would expect 2024 the republicans to continue to harp on biden's relationship with china. >> mitch mcconnell certainly did in his remarks. >> china has been a sconstant source republicans. the difference is that dth sdth is praising dictators.

even if you're saying we're engaged in a tough competition with china n in the 2020 election, there was all this talk about beijing and biden was going to sell out. the biden administration has been tough on china. this meeting was about issueses voters care about. say ing we're going to call hima dictator, but who in the realm of responsible is going to oppose that. i don't want to set is the bar too high, but i think this was the substance of the policy. >> it's also important context that the trade agreement were never fulfilled. and agriculture in particular, farmers in iowa were hindered by trump's tariffs on china. switching over to the middle east, the president was steadfast. has not shift ed spite politica

pressure. we're getting this poll that says the response between israel and hamas, 37% approve of how the president hassled. we saw the protests last night outside the dnc. how long do you think president biden can maintain pos chert he's held from the the beginning? >> tensions on this have in increased and continued to flare up. we have heard him yesterday saying that he thinks this will stop when hamas no longer maintains capacity to attack israelis. he made that point say ing that idf needs to use caution going into gaza, but at one point, he contrasted idf with russia and he said something along the lines of that idf is not going in and shooting people indiscriminately. people would say more than 11,000 people have been kill ed in gaza. and there's some level of it's not indiscriminate or that it is

indiscriminate in terms of the killings in gaza. so i don't know. things continue to grow increasingly more tense on israel and his comments on israel and what's happening in gaza, not seemingly matching up with globally being criticized. >> i think one of the points of all the fact that there's now 17-point spread in his d disapproval. just last month it was. >> i don't think president biden is going to change his policy on the basis of polls on this. this is about principle and foreign policy. this is about terrorism. what's happening in gaza raises a lot of concerns. i wouldn't cite statistics because i don't think we know. but this is about something deeper. it's not just u.s. israel. the things that happen.

>> they will do it again. >> it's 8 bedding its own forces in hospitals designed to maximize casualties. so that is important. and i just think that this is not -- this is not something you put your finger in the wind on. this is about deeper principles about war and peace and terrorism andization and i don't think president biden has given any indication that he's going to shift his position based on that. >> we appreciate it. thank you. the senate pulling an all nighter ending its session at 3:45 in the senator over tu tuberville's nine-month delay in confirming top military nominees. >> the policy is wrong, but holding these officers that had nothing to do with this is wrong. they deserve better. >> republican senator lindsey graham there. could the blocockade be on the

cusp of f breaking?? that's a ahead.

military norminees. they continue to delay the confirmations. . he started those delays nine months ago. this time he was backed by mike lee, who objected to every nominee who was brought up for consideration. >> if you do not believe these holds are having an affect on the military, i don't question your sincerity. i question nor judgment. this is like a car wreck on i-95. it keeps backing up. >> i stand for life. i will be a supporter of life and will continue combatting that, buff i will not do it at the expense of these individuals. >> why punish military members over a dispute they have no ability to fix? they didn't cause. >> kasie hunt joins us from washington. good morning. is this the beginning of the end

or the end of the end? >> this pressure has been a long time in building. and this is the succeed time we have seen republicans make a public show against a member of their own party in tommy tuberville to do this. and part of it is that there is a rules change in the works to basically try to cut tuberville off here. in gentler times, it was supposed to operate on a principle of civilized politeness, and basically that means they were willing to give every single senator the prerogative to hold up any one of these nominations, breaking that tradition is a big deal. but they are about to do it. mitch mcconnell hz said he's not in favor of it at this time, but that caveat of saying right now i'm not in favor of this yet, it indicates the pressure people are under. i think it's important to think about what this means in the broad context beyond washington and people on the floor.

i know phil has a the lot of military family ties. think about if you're getting a promotion from colonel to general or something similar to that. it means you're moving your family. you're taking up a new post. the children of these military officers, they can't switch schools. wives that quit jobs because they are preparing to move to the next post, they are stuck in lim bow. this is about the people who are sacrificing every day for the country itself, is and it's very clear that republicans are frustrated with that. and we haven't even gotten into the national security implications. >> you make a great point. the national security implications have been a focus here. the nine months compasses past the summer into a new school year. we also appreciate our colleague on the cnn team who stayed up all night and covered this and i'm sorry for you guys. >> those tens of tens people that todd young said to all the

tens of people watching c-span 2. thanks for being here. >> he's reality. kasie hunt, we appreciate you. thank you. >> thanks, guys. president biden calling his meeting with xi jinping productive, but also calling him a dictator. how china is responding, next. how reporting on president trump's team see the e election lining up.p. we have e that straiaight ahead.

president biden says the u.s. and china are moving back toward clear, direct communications a after his high-stakes meeting with xi jinping. itment comes after the leaders didn't speak for a year stoking fears their countries were on a path toward direct conflict. but after spending four hours together, the leaders agreed to start the process for restoring min mil tear communications and be able to call directly whenever needed. xi says the lines of communications have been reopened and will stay that pwa. >> translator: it is the reaching out to each other and our peoples that has time and again brought china-u.s. relations from a low bar back on the right track. i'm convinced that once open, the door of china-u.s. relations cannot be shut again. >> mark stewart is live for us in beijing with more. mark, i have been completely

fascinated over the course of the last couple weeks and then since the summit about how state media has been covering it. how they have been covering it in the lead up and very positive tone talking about relations back to the flying tigers, to some degree. is this real? have things really moved in a positive direction here? >> reporter: keep in mind, staut media is really the government's messenger service. so we are seeing very positive response. the coverage in the last 24 hours or so has been very much focused on xi jinping, not so much joe biden. in fact, china calling these talks positive and comprehensive. also a lot of themes about xi jinping showing strength, tell ing joe biden what's not negotiable. that being taiwan. also a headline that caught our attention today, bringing up the fact that xi jinping let joe biden know he should not necessarily be meddling or getting involved in chinese

aff affairs. that's some of the messaging we are seeing today. it's just a taste, but again, this is coming from state immedmedia, which is the mouthpiece of the chinese government. >> this is always going to be a dell indicate issue between these two countries. was there any message from xi last night that caught your attention about what the path forward is there? >> reporter: well, i think that going into these talks, there's always this agreement that there are just going to be areas where we're going to have to agree to disagree. there's no philosophical shift on either side about it. so that's still going to be a little murky, but xi jinping certainly making it clear that in his view, taiwan is theirs. >> they have been unequivocal about that. the policy is the point. we appreciate it. thank you. let's talk about all of this with host fareed zakaria.

no better voice to have on all of this. the optics were pretty good all around for stability, i suppose. but biden still did say to our mj lee that, yes, xi jinping is a tick cater. they are still far apart on key things like taiwan. what was accomplished for world stability yesterday? >> i think it actually was a big step forward. as you say, there are lots of complications, lots of tensions, but that's precisely why you need to get this relationship in a manageable, working mode. so there's frequent communication. you don't have misunderstandings or accidents or things like that. you think about u.s.-china relations over the last two or three years under the biden administration, it starts out very both the national security adviser go to anchorage and they

essentially read out a right about to the chinese, who respond forcefully. that was the mode of the relationship, very little contact. it ended up being public posturing and there were a series of things that the united states did like the chip ban and things like that that enraged the chinese. so things were not in a great place. and now what think we are getting to is a much more stable relationship, where the chinese understand, the united states is going to do certain things that limit the access to high-end technology and things like that. the susquehanna going to continue to build alliances around yash to deter china, but the united states wants a working relationship and wants to have trade. it wants to engage as much as it is within this competitive framework. and xi jinping seems to have

changed. the big shift, and i agree state media is very interest ing on this front, the big shift here is that xi has decided to kind of reign in the diplomacy, make nice, speak about how there are a thousand reasons why u.s.-china relations should be better and not one reason why it should be worse, which is what he said to chuck schumer. so the big shift here is china, not the u.s. >> that raises the big question. u.s. officials believe it's primarily economy related, but the why. you go back to anchorage, it's a great citation of this relationship. that was a slap in the face of reality to some degree for administration officials, the diplomacy, how they are they were going to operate. that was going to be the way. and it's not anymore. >> you're right. some part of it is the economy.

they need to boost the economy. the nature of economics, it would also help the u.s. we worry about inflation. one of the reasons we were able to keep prices so low for the last 20 or 30 years has been the china has been a kind of deflations machine in the world economy. but the second part of it is china's diplomacy hasn't worked very well. it alienated india. it alienated australia and vietnam and the philippines. so the chinese are realizing that they are in an unposition. they are not like the united states. we sit is with our neighbors with two vast oceans and two friendly neighbors in canada and mexico. china is rising to power in a very crowded neighborhood. and every time it rises with a certain degree of assertion and

arrogance, it annoys, it makes anxious all its neighbors. so perhaps what you're seeing is a course correction that is more meaningful. we don't know yet. maybe this is just pr. but it's certainly very different pr from what we have seen for the last three years. >> returning to israel's war with hamas. really interesting reporting this week that the u.s. defense secretary has been warning his counterpart against israel trying to escalate any tension with lebanon. you wrote about the lessons israel should learn from trying to achieving that objective, but the price they paid was enormous. do you believe that israel is listening to any of that or heeding any of that experience or u.s. warning? >> so far, what has been

striking is the biden administration's strategy towards israel has been let's hug them close, let's demonstrate political capital that we can use to restrain them. biden went right away, and the only leader to go to israel and somebody who has had difficulty with. so far, the strategy is not paying off. the israeli government is pocketing the support and resist ing the pressure. the biden administration council, as best we can tell, it should not do an all out ground invasion. it should have been more targeted incursions. they should have focused on hamas and the 30,000 or 40,000 militants in hamas rather than the sweeping destruction. i think the israeli government feels that it needs to do something big and dramatic to demonstrate that it can respond

to what happened. in a way, exactly what the united states felt after 9/11, administration officials almost were saying that is too small. we have to demonstrate that we can use a 2 by 4 and get people's attention in the middle east. and you wonder whether something very similar is happening in israel, and the danger is when you can cause a lot of damage and have a dramatic show, a the lot of sound and fury, but what you leave in the wake of that, a lot of disruption. a lot of alienation. as i pointed out in that article, the invasion of lebanon ended up creating hezbollah, which has been a 35-year thorn in israel's side. let's hope something like that doesn't come out of this. >> we always appreciate your time. thank you.

>> pleasure. fulton county judge says he will bar the release of sensitive evidence in the subversion indication after a key video was leaked. we have a cnn exclusive report this morning. when militants broke through the border fence and began their terror attack on october th, many were wearing these gopro cameras. we'll bring you some of that footage, ahead.

welcome back to the georgia election subversion case facing donald trump and his allies. the judge now says he plans to lock down and bar the public release of sensitive evidence after some video evidence was lea leaked this week. nick virginia lanes ya has the reporting from atlanta. how is the judge going to do that? do we know who leaked it? >> reporter: good morning, poppy. the judge seemed to indicate he's going to ask prosecutors to designate what is sensitive in these discovery files and give

defense attorneys 14 days to respond. that was one headline what happened in court. the others was who was behind the leak. jonathan miller is a defense attorney, and in open court, miller admitted to being the one that september the videos to media outlets. he said he believed the public had a right to know what was in those proffer videos that took plea deals in this case. the judge, though, didn't appear to be swayed by that argument and seemed to indicate he's going to issue a written rule ing in the coming days. >> i think it's so interesting that the da there has for the first time moved to revoke someone's bond. >> that's right. this is the first time she's tried to do this in this case. she wants to send is harrison floyd back to jail because of his alleged actions to intimidate witnesses and potential -- she's pointed to more than a dozen social media posts where he names georgia election officials likely going

to be called as witnesses in this case. it's worth noting that floyd is alleged to try to intimidate one of the election work appears fr said in open court from his defense attorneys that his defense strategy is to relitigate the election results of the 2020 election. >> nick valencia, thank you. senator jo manchin saying he's absolutely considering running for president next year. why he says he won't be a spoiler if he does choose to run. that's next. top house democrats evacuated from dnc headquarters after police clash with protesters calling for a cease-fire in gaza. that reporting, ahead.

brand new reporting, joe manchin is warning against a second trump presidency as he explores a potential run himself. >> think we lose democracy as we know it because he has no regard for the rule of law. >> but that's the white house argument as well as to why they believe you shouldn't run because you take votes from biden and. help reelect donald trump. >> i'm not going to be a spoiler. i'm not looking for any spoilers. but i'm looking for lace bastically how we're going to govern this country from the middle. you cannot run your life from the extreme. >> back at the table is shelby, joyce ko and john avlon. why are you laughing? >> i appreciate the very detailed disclaimer.

>> we feel like your residume matters, and we want to highlight everything you have done. also a speech writer. he's written a bunch of books. in all seriousness, i thought this was why the interview was so great. what manchin said would tell you he's not going to run. >> but he obviously is making noises like he's running and has been pretty consistent about this. joe manchin is sincere, and folks on the left are waking up to why joe manchin was important democratic party. why you need red state democrats who might not agree with you on every issue. on the issue of running for president, i couldn't agree more when he talks about the risk of elect ing donald trump to our republic. but he seems to believe hen won't be a spoiler. there's little evidence for that. if you put a republican at the top of that no labels ticket, they might detract, but we have never had an election with four

independent candidates. it's impossible to say how that will play out. but many of them are on the democratic side of the aisle, or to the left of donald trump. that means support from donald trump is likely to translate to winning a plurality of votes where republicans have a majority of congressional delegations right now. so it's a dangerous game to i play. that's the concern that a the lot of folks have. it's not the sin cerity or the need to show more ability to govern from the middle. >> you know what else she did in that interview? she stumped him are you going to leave the democratic party. that was key. but you have new reporting on how trump's team and husband opponents on the republican side, because manchin said he would pull from there, see everything lining up for 24. >> it's been interesting. so trump's team has admit ted that this is a positive thing for them, that things are just lining up for them.

and antitrump republicans are alsoed a miything this it's really hard this cycle to beat trump. you have the republicans leading democrats on trust and handling the economy, immigration, crime, support for a border wall, his has changed. the indictments are not really making an impact as of now. so it seems like even though trump has all of these legal issues, everything else is sort of lining up for him. people are unhappy with joe biden. at the same time, even outside groups who are trying to elect somebody who isn't trump, there's been one or two who have bowed out of the primary, because what they are doing is not making an impact. >> to that great reporting, that's unequivocally the case in the republican primary. the argument you'll hear is that's not going to a carry over into a general. wait until it's one-on-one.

do you think that's true? >> in terms of what they are confident about right now, the durability of that is very much an open question. >> i think that's why you see other polls being done right now seeing how biden matches up against not just trump, but other candidates like nikki haley because if trump wins this nomination, it does not necessarily mean that he's going to win the general election against biden. they had that matchup in 2020. and we saw the results of the election there. that's one of the main cruxes of the biden administration or the biden campaign going forward saying that he won in 2020. he can beat him again in 2024, especially with the indictments and this very lengthy and robust legal schedule that trump faces going into this election year. >> more interesting reporting on trump's team's reaction to the blowback using the term vermin to describe his political

opponents. >> it's been interesting because biden's team has jumped on this. it's the various reporting about the policy plans for the next administration. that's where team biden thinks they are going to be really effective is reminding voters this is who trump is. but it's not a positive for him to be in the same line as hitler. but they also have argued that i had one person say to me that they saw hundreds over the past few days that said trump calls democrats vermin and they said that's ab effective message in a primary. >> the reporting is great. we appreciate you. "cnn this morning" continues now. >> the first war
