i'm kasie hunt. don't go anywhere. cnn new central starts right now breaking just moments ago. >> behold, the polls, brand new cnn polling from almost all the key battleground states the math that points to one state, or shall we say common will that could rule them all? >> on the heels of the new trump indictment this morning, some allies of the former president are hoping jack smith's court filing can actually help get them off the hook. >> and a former top aide for two new york governor's charged with acting as a secret agent for the chinese government. but luxurious benefits prosecutors say she received how she got caught on your side, with john berman and kate bolduan. this is cnn new central and breaking

this morning brand new cnn polling from six battleground states on the race for president, pennsylvania, wisconsin, michigan, arizona, and nevada, and georgia, three weeks. >> three is tight as a tick six days from the high-stakes debate. sixth the two days till election day. so let's get right to cnn political director david chalian is with us the top lines this morning, david good morning, john. and yet just two days from ballots going out in north carolina for people to begin voting, but take a look at our snapshot of those six states, six battleground states. and what you see here, you mentioned there were a few states where there are slight leads in wisconsin kamala harris, 50%, donald trump, 44%, slight lead for harris in wisconsin outside the margin of error. same in michigan, a slight lead for harris outside the margin of error in arizona down here. it's a slight lead for donald trump 49% to 44%. georgia,

nevada, pennsylvania all within the margin of error, no clear leader in those states. what these shows us both candidates have paths to 270 and it is a very close race, nine weeks out from election day, john a lot of tight states there, david, how many people still making up their minds this number actually surprised me in our poll, john, because it was a little bit larger of a group of what we call movable voters than i would anticipate. >> you see here movable voters 12% of the electorate in georgia among likely, among likely voters say they are movable. that means they tell us they could change their choice or they haven't made a choice between harris and trump. and so you see here 12% in georgia movable, 15% in arizona and nevada. let's move to the other three states and it goes up to 16% in michigan and pennsylvania. that is not an insignificant chunk in close

races to have this potentially movable voters look so much has changed in this race is understandable. people may want to wait a little bit to make up their minds definitively, david, what about the issues one of the polls tell us about that? >> this john, as you know, covering this race all throughout the economy is issue number one. that is true across all six of these battleground states that we tested. you see here pluralities and all these states say that the economy is the most important issue for their choice. what i want to show you though, is if you look got it by each candidate supporters, it's a whole different story overwhelmingly trump supporters say the economy is the most important issue. look at that majority's in each of those states of his supporters, substantial majority say so. but look at among harris supporters the economy rates much lower for harris supporters in all of those states. and if you look at the battle between harris and trump in these states about who is better to handle the

economy, who do you trust more to handle the economy? donald trump wins that across the board, but look where it gets a lot closer. in michigan, in georgia, in wisconsin the trump advantage over harris on the economy issue is much more narrow than it is in some of these other states i think that explains what some of the results we're seeing in these states. and we see her making the economic issue more competitive than joe biden was against. >> exactly by enlarge lot more narrow than it was when it was trump versus biden. dave, we're going to be chewing over these numbers for the entirety of our three-hour flagship broadcasts. but what else jumps out at you here well the, the democracy issue is the number two issue tested. >> so overall among likely voters in all these states, the second issue listed as the most important issue one that rank second is protecting democracy. and again, if you look at that split out by the candidates supporters, it's a very low ranking issue for trump supporters. but look at this,

protecting democracy is the number one issue for harris supporters across all these states even more so than abortion rights and then i just want to show you the biden factor in these states. i find this so interesting. so these are likely voters, those that disapprove of joe biden's job somewhere between 55 and 60% across all these states are disapprovers his approval rating. we know is hovering around 40% on average. >> but take a look here. >> 12% of disapprovers of biden are going to harrison, wisconsin in nevada 19%, nearly one in five who say, i don't like the job. joe biden's zui, they're still voting for kamala harris. she's going to want to increase her margins among this group of biden disapprovers as she tries to separate herself from the president she serves in our day job, john, 62 days to do that work six days before the debate. such important new information this morning, david's so much at you over david chalian. thank you so much. and a little bit later in the broadcast, we're going to

plug some of these new numbers into the map here, the race to 270 electoral votes. i'm gonna give you a little teaser here. all these new numbers, they point to one state or shall we say commonwealth being very, very, very, very, very important, had my circle that enough for you to tell you how important that one commonwealth kate, might be. >> everyone in pennsylvania is like what is happening right now? >> well they are about to get a lot of visitors. >> we now have a new group of voters and focusing on from the double haters that we learned about this election to now be biden disapprovers? yes. so we've got there's a lot going on today. let's also go to this. this is part of the conversation today, donald trump is back on the campaign trail, headed to one of these battleground states the one that gives good circling, hold a town hall in harrisburg, pennsylvania. he's still circling pennsylvania guys. but now he's going over to massachusetts, chill out. >> all right donald trump's

running mate, j.d. >> vance he set to speak in arizona and the campaign has put out a new memo overnight arguing that they have the momentum in this race. cnn's alayna treene joins us right now for much more on this, not in pennsylvania. so you're not feeling the circling that john berman is doing on that on the commonwealth right now, regardless, plus most importantly, what are you hearing from the trump campaign and what more are you getting from this new campaign memo right? >> well, kate, this memo is really trying to kind of put their finger on the pulse at this moment, we are just nine weeks out to election day. and what they're trying to argue in this memos from donald trump's co-campaign managers, chris lacivita and susie wiles, they're trying to argue that donald trump is the one who has the momentum, not kamala harris, despite, of course, all the enthusiasm and energy we've seen around her really, that she's been able to sustain since becoming the presumptive

democratic nominee, and then officially the democratic nominee at the convention last month, they're arguing he has the momentum and that really that the media is biased against donald trump and is not portraying the race in the way that they believe they should. now, i'm going to read for you just some of what they wrote specifically because there's a couple of very interesting lines in here. they wrote that three weeks ago, quote, three weeks ago, the democrats news we crowned nominee kamala harris was leading in nate silver's electoral college modeling that's from they i'll just say this on nate silver just to pause their nate silver, they very much heavily look at they look at his polling, they look at that data. this is something that donald trump's campaign focuses very heavily on. so keep that in mind, but i'm going to continue the forecast has since inverse in president trump's favor, the state of the race is clear with just nine weeks until the most consequential election in american history, the trump-vance campaign has the momentum. the memo goes on to say that despite the bias if the election were held today,

donald trump would be re-elected. now again, this is them trying to put their finger on the pulse. it's also just a couple of days before that very crucial debate, also in pennsylvania, where that will be next tuesday and luck, i will say from my conversations with trump senior advisers, they do feel like the race is settling. they recognize that harris was having a great few weeks after biden ended his campaign and it was clear that she would top the democratic ticket. but they feel like now it is really ahead on race with harris. they know that they have a lot of work to do, but they also think that he has many pathways to 270 electoral college votes in november. and that's really what they laid out in this memo. >> yeah maybe a bad month, if you will, behind them. but there's still even though a short amount of time ahead, a very a lot of a lot of ground, a lot of a lot of time to make up ground. it's good to see you, alayna, thank you so much, sir. >> all right. thank you, kate. breaking overnight, russia launches a new deadly attack just as ukraine's foreign

wrestlers on, and we bring them here. >> jabaliya wednesday night at 8:00, tbs new this morning, the revised indictment against donald trump is giving his allies new hope they can escape prosecution after the supreme court granted broad immunity to trump for official acts he did as president jack smith removed some references to communications between trump and federal officials while trump was still in the white house. that includes former doj

official jeffrey clark, and trump's former white house chief of staff. mark meadows, cnn's kaitlin polantz discusses this with me now how could this affect the state level charges? which is against meadows and against clark will sara, it may help them or at least their attorneys are making quite clear in court filings over the past week that they think this helps them with the way that jack smith has filed a superseding indictment rewarded things against donald trump i'm in federal court. >> but sara, our sources, there were several less where we were talking to sources across the trump universe. and there is a sigh of relief for a lot of people. now, jeffrey clark he is relief. is that he's cut out of the federal indictment related to donald trump and his attorneys are trying to use that in other things where he's trying to keep his bar their license, and then mark meadows, the former chief of staff he's cut back in the indictment, there were a lot of

things that he had been privy to in the version of the charges against donald trump before. now, he's just an a small part of it, what his attorneys are saying in his state case in arizona to court hearing coming up on thursday related to that. they're writing to the court that it wasn't an alleged criminal act by meadows as chief of staff, he was carrying out his official duties even if the president was engaged in official activity, and so his attorneys are making this bid that that bubble of official duties around donald trump that should extend to mark meadows, his chief of staff. and when jack smith even rewrote that indictment last week against trump, it phrased what mark meadows was doing a little bit differently. it called him specifically the chief of staff, who sometimes handled private and campaign related logistics for the defendants. so meadows team is looking to carry that forward as they continue to argue against his state charges in georgia and in arizona. and then there's a

bunch of other people to affected who are no longer in the indictment and thus may not be witnesses, ultimately, if and when donald trump goes to trial in federal court, sara, it has changed a lot of things. this new indictment because of the supreme court ruling, katelyn polantz. thank you so much for your reporting. john. >> all right. breaking overnight, the biggest shake-up in ukraine's leadership since the war began as russia unleashes a new wave of attacks and this morning at 11-year-old is in custody after confessing to killing a former mayor and his daughter. new details on the murder weapons hidden at the scene. >> when we the people rally for a common cause, we become vegans for all when we, the people unite, that's why st. jude is asking you to stand with us against childhood cancer.

christiane john it did. and as you say, seven people including a teenage girl, and it was directed actually at the city center and probably quite close to a baps targeting the railways is clear that the russians are trying to go off to a number of targets. so there's the transportation and the what they think is the, you know, the transport of vital supplies for the ukrainian war effort. there's what happened in poltava, central ukraine yesterday attacking a military academy, causing more than 50 deaths and more than 100 injuries. this up take of attacks on the infrastructure, the grid as they see winter coming and they again want to cripple this nation's ability to warm itself and to keep itself. the lights on throughout the winter. so the middle, this is this reshuffle that president zelenskyy in fact announced didn't an address on television last night to the nation. and he essentially said that we need to get our best people, our best minds. we need to

reshuffle to be able to assault well, rather to be able to deal with the next phase of this war dmytro kuleba, who has been foreign ministers since march of 2020. it before this full scale invasion and has been a real champion for the narrative of his government, for the message of ukraine to the world. i spoke to him yesterday just before news that he attended his resignation, we get to that in just a second. but what he's he says and what the others say who are telling us that this is kind of pro forma. there will be resignations tomorrow. there'll be a whole set of reappointments as 50% of the cabinet will be either shuffled out or reshuffled and reassigned so we'll wait to see what happens to kuleba himself. but i asked him about this latest uptick in russian attacks. and i also asked him about the strategy behind ukraine's kursk invasion, which happened earlier about four weeks ago. what was the point of it? here's what he said. >> now, we've showed everyone we defeated not only we defeated the russian army in

course, we defeated the arguments so popular in among our partners that there was a stalemate because now everyone sees that when everyone sees what we've been talking about all the time when ukraine has everything it needs we do not like courage and military skill to advance. and when that is the important message they are trying to send to their partners, the united states and others that don't think that your weapons systems are not being put to good use when we get them, when we get them time, we can use them on the battlefield. >> we've completely reshaped the sort of strategic thinking in terms of being able to take russian territory inside russia that's their point right now. and what we need a more weapons, we need to have the shackles removed from the usage of those weapons. we need to be able to direct them into russia against targets that are launching the attack on you

ukraine. and they say, we need obviously, given the ballistic missile assault on the city's now, we need patriots, we need air defense systems, and we need those now. those are the big messages they're trying to send right now to the u.s. and others, john, a flurry of new developments, great to have you there in kyiv, christiane amanpour. thank you so much okay. so as new polling out this morning, diving deep into it, showing who was breaking thing away in which battleground states who has momentum and also just how close the race still is. 60 plus days out from election day. >> and what also learning this morning about a former top aide to new york governor's charged with acting as a secret agent for the chinese government i'm kevin o'leary from shark tank. and this is boost oxygen, 95% pure oxygen and portable lightweight canisters it's for all natural respiratory support, no prescription needed available now at boost

thursday's of attack on tbs set your dvr now this morning we have new details about what each candidate is and is not doing in the final days leading up to their high-stakes debate, cnn's kevin liptack has the new reporting for us. >> what are you hearing kevin? >> yeah. and one of the most fascinating dynamics of this entire debate is that this will actually be the very first time that donald trump and kamala harris meet each other in person. so not only is this the biggest sort of political moment of the campaign so far, it's also the first time they've been in the same room at least at close range, and it is a moment that both of them have been preparing for over the last several days for kamala harris that has meant convening a relatively small group of advisers. there is not much overlap which with a team that helped prepare joe biden for his debate. this is her advisers, some of them have been with her for a while and their goal really is to discuss policy discuss potential attack lines, all with the objective

of not getting too bogged down trying to keep cool, but also look for ways to try and get under donald trump's skin. and she has enlisted a stand-in to play could donald trump in these mock debates, the former clinton aide felipe rina's, he actually played trump and hillary clinton's debate prep back in 2016. so he has some experience on that front now, donald trump debate preparation looks very different. his team doesn't even like to use the word preparation. there you're taking what they call policy sessions with a small group of advisers talking about some of the potential issues that could arise on the stage. one new face that he has enlisted is tulsi gabbard, the former hawaii congresswoman. she actually shared a debate stage with kamala harris back in 2019 when both running for the democratic presidential nomination. >> now one advantage that donald trump has heading into this debate is that he has now participated in seven general

election debates. >> he has been the democrat or republican nominee for three straight election cycles. that's an advantage that kamala harris's team thinks that he has, and it's been interesting distinct to listen to her allies and advisers say that she is actually the underdog heading into this debate, you heard that even from jb pritzker when you interviewed him earlier this week saying that democrats underestimate donald trump at their own peril all right? >> kevin liptack. thank you so much. now, to you, john. you've got something to show us today. >> we've got this brand new cnn polling from all the key battleground states. and we want to lay out what it all means. in the race to 270 electoral votes. so this is the map, the six days that we have polling from plus north carolina where we don't have polling just so people understand right now, this includes giving the one congressional district in nebraska, nebraska, one to harris. the second congressional ducey to trump. we haven't seen real polling from there yet, but this is where they went last time. so that's what we're going to start for this experiment right now. alright, our polling shows

kamala harris was small leads in michigan and wisconsin shows donald trump with a small lead in arizona. so where does that leave things for vice president harris simply put, all cut right to the chase here pennsylvania, she wins pennsylvania she's there she's a 270 electoral votes. what happens if she does not win pennsylvania? donald trump wins pennsylvania. well, then harris would need to win two out of the three remaining states here, say georgia and nevada, that would put her over the top and, you know, you could always replace, you could replace north carolina if you wanted to for georgia there in that too, would get her over the top. how about donald trump again, he wins pennsylvania. what does he need to do? they're looking at a map right now that includes pennsylvania in georgia tim, and also north carolina that would get him there or a map that would include say, pennsylvania and nevada as well. so for donald

trump, the issue is pennsylvania, but then he needs to win something else for harris just pennsylvania good stuff, jb joining us right now to talk about all of this is cnn political commentator, democratic strategist maria cardona also former campaign manager for marco rubio's 2016 presidential campaign. >> terry sullivan. good to see you guys. okay. you add all of that up and you think what? >> i think that the kamala harris campaign is being very smart and very strategic and underscoring at every rally to all of her voters. and in all of her interviews and messaging that she's still the underdog in this race because what this poll shows is that it is still razor thin. however, having said that, the momentum is still in her favor from the moment that she became the nominee, the enthusiasm, the mobilization, the energy coming out of the convention we see that things are moving in her direction. she is not only closing the gap and surpassing donald trump in a lot of these

swing states, she's closing the gap on key issues like the economy and like immigration. and so that says to me that there was a lot of underlying enthusiasm and a lot of it is still not being measured in these polls, kate, because let's remember, in 2022, and ever since the overturning of roe v. wade reproductive rights, freedoms, and democracy have been an issue that have been really motivating to voters. and that wasn't really much pressured because remember all the polls show there was going to be this huge red wave going into 2020 and it never happened. i think that that is going to be an underlying issue going into this election as well, which is why you see the harris campaign having so much focus on this critical issue of reproductive freedom also terry maria mentioned momentum. she says harris hasn't. >> we're an addition to the battleground polling.

>> you have team trump has put out a memo they argue that they have the momentum, the way that savita lacivita and wiles put it is the state of the race is clear with just nine weeks until the most consequential election in american history, the trump-vance campaign has the momentum. where do you see the momentum given this new check-in on how voters are feeling or actually feeling that might be a little bit excessive hubris to say they have the momentum but look, i don't point is as she has had the momentum, she's had an amazing month politically, the wind has been at her back. >> and so this is about as good as it's going to get for her. and she's still tied in the polling and i think it's important as maria brought up the 2022 polls donald trump has consistently outpolled, are outperformed his polling numbers in 2016 and in 2020, significantly in swing states anywhere from one to seven points in wisconsin, where he really significantly out

performs those poll numbers and so pennsylvania john is 100%, right? this is pennsylvania. if trump wins pennsylvania, it's over for harris. she has to win pennsylvania. and the fact that it's tied there right now is a real problem for her, given the kind of love fest she's gotten over the past month, which he's gotten very favorable coverage. she's gotten adeh energy within her party and really hasn't had to lay out any policy initiatives and tell she's starting to do that now gotten away with the fact that she hasn't she doesn't own any of the last four years, which is a little amazing. and i think i think that this is the next 60 days it's gonna be a little bit tougher than the last 44 her let's actually jump on them, maria, because that's something that it has been a definite strategic move and shift from the trump campaign. >> one is to try and paint her as the incumbent in this race.

and also making her trying to make her responsible for what maker who are responsible for all of joe biden's decisions and policy decisions and policy moves over the last three-and-a-half years, j.d vance seems to be leading this charge. he said it's he said it as much on cnn and he also let me play for how he put it just last night let's laugh at the fact that kamala harris is promising to do something if the american people give her promotion, but she hasn't been doing for the past three-and-a-half years as vice president, if kamala harris thinks these policies are going to do a lot of good at, of course, most of them brown sensical, but she thinks they're gonna do a lot of good. >> she should try them out now because she's currently in power how do you i mean, why will this or won't this work? no, i don't think that what they're doing is going to work because it hasn't been working and another couple of really key indicators in the poll that we are seeing. just now, kate, is that you see that kamala

harris is numbers in terms of her policies this was glaring to me, the vast majority of americans believe that trump has the policies that are way too extreme. >> and that as much as the trump campaign has tried to scream in the rooftops from the rooftops till they're blue in the face. >> the kamala harris is this quote, crazy san francisco liberal none of it has stuck because in this poll it shows that the vast majority of voters believe it's her policies that are mainstream, that it is her and tim walz that understand the issue who's that are important to people like you? those are key, key indicators, kate and i think that's why that the momentum is clearly in her favor in the areas that people care about most. and i do want to say something about what terry just said. he's right in 2016 and in 2020 donald trump

over performed but guess what has happened ever since the overturning of roe v wade. it has been democrats that have vastly over-performed and every single election and special election since that happened, that is the underlying vote that was not measured correctly in 2022 or in any of the other special elections when republicans were, you know, were said to win and they didn't. i believe that is still an underlying incredibly important mobilizing issue for democrats and frankly for a lot of republicans and americans who believed that women should have bodily autonomy and that we should have the freedom to make decisions for ourselves and our families and tell you, what do you think yeah. look, i understand that democrats want to make that the number one issue, but look at the cnn poll. it's not the number one issue is the economy and by, by leaps and bounds and so look, she, it's not that screaming from the rooftops that that she has some sort of

responsibility, not not as you put it, kate you know, all of biden's policies, just one of them. which one of biden's policies does she agree with? because she she can't list one thus far and so she's been there for the last three-and-a-half years. she's either said nothing are done nothing, or she's part of it and that's an important distinction. what has she been doing for the last three-and-a-half years that she's been vice president in, does she take any ownership for the biden policies? and if she doesn't, then explain how they're wrong. and the media really has given her a free pass to be able to lay out these new policies without asking, hey, what do you think about the policies you've been governing on for the last three-and-a-half years. i think that's an important distinction, and i do think that over the next 62 days, we're going to start to see a higher level of scrutiny and that's going to be interesting to see how she handles that i'll just say that was one of the fascinating parts that was one of the more well, the entire interview is important. i i keyed in on that

back-and-forth a dana bash had with the vice president on this issue. i agree this is some of the last three-and-a-half years and she's and she and she spoke and she gave her answer to that all leading up to i can't wait to have this discussion about debate expectations. next guys for next week, it's good to see you. thank you both so much. john. thanks, kate all right. >> new this morning, charges against a former key aide to new york governor kathy hochul and andrew cuomo. let us, sun is accused of acting as a chinese government agent. her husband is also charged she's accused of meddling with policy toward taiwan and return for favors, then included deliveries of special salted ducks, seen as gloria pazmino is with us now, give us more of a sense of what she is accused of doing. gloria well, john prosecutors alleged that linda's sun was working on behalf of the chinese government and the communist party in order to advance their interests and to make sure that they had special access to new york government. >> now that might sound strange to you, right? why does the chinese government need access to new york state government?

but the reality is that linda sun was helping to steer business special accommodations and several other things to the chinese government. some of the things that she is accused of doing is issuing a special invitation letters by the governor in order to invite chinese government officials into the united states. these letters were part of what they use to successful two successfully travel into the country. she also issued on authorized proclamations. and when she was working for governor andrew cuomo, she made sure that cuomo publicly thanked chinese officials after they he made a delivery of medical equipment at the height of the pandemic. now one other thing that that linda sun is accused of doing is also blocking taiwanese officials from having any access to the governor's office. there are so many communities across a new york city that often seek to sue port and the help of the

governor and the taiwanese community was doing exactly that. but because the chinese communist party and the chinese government did not like that, sun was making sure that the taiwanese were blocked. that's at least what the federal prosecutors are alleging now, sun and her for husband, who has also been charged in this indictment, appeared in court yesterday. they both pleaded not guilty and her lawyers have said that this is all the result of a very aggressive federal investigation and that they are looking forward to their day in court. in the meantime, both cuomo and hochul have tried to distance themselves from this aid as saying that she only worked for them shore for a short amount of time and that as soon as red flags were raised, about her activities, they were flagged to the proper people and that eventually she was let go from her job. not only did she worked for both governors,

john, she also worked at several state agencies. so there are some real questions here just about the amount of access that she had for how long she had it and whether or not there may be other people out there who are working on behalf of the chinese that are going on detected. >> john is such an important question. gloria, a lot of revelations here. gloria pazmino, thank you very much sara it's john, this morning and 11-year-old boy is charged with two counts of first-degree murder. >> after police say the child confessed to shooting and killing the 82-year-old former mayor of a small louisiana town. and the mayor's daughter now a grieving town is asking, how did this happen and why cnn's nick valencia is following the very latest for us. this is such a shocking story, 11-years-old and confesses to this murder. what do you know about the boys connection? if any, to the victims in this case?

>> well, sir, he is related. we don't know exactly how he is related. we're working on trying to get those details, but the details that we do have our sobering at least two different caliber handguns were used. and when police arrived at the scene getting a call from a family member, they saw two victims inside with multiple gunshot wounds they say the 11-year-old boy story initially just didn't add up. he was eventually taken to the police station where he confessed to the killings the juvenile gave us a story at first that just didn't add up investigators continued on with the interview and later on get a confession from this juvenile. a lot of questions has arose about what is the why behind it. we do not know that yet. that is still we are still piecing the puzzle pieces together adding to the shock of these killings or who the victims were, one of them, a well-known community member, a former interim mayor, as somebody that touched countless

lives, 82-year-old joe cornelius, sr. known affectionately by those in the community as ice cream joe or mr. joe. >> listen to the police chief we talk about him and the legacy he leaves behind he also his 31-year-old daughter was also among the victims. listen to the police chief here everybody knew mr. joe and that's that's what hurts the most when you know somebody that's been in the community that long, that's reached so many people people there, there is, there's a sorrowful everyone saw they're grieving for the family grieving along with the family big. question, now will the da charge this 11-year-old as an adult, his identity currently being withheld because he's been currently charged as a juvenile juvenile held on $500,000 bail, but he is being charged with two counts of first-degree murder. and sara, anytime something like this happens, it deeply affects the community and brings up conversations around public safety and of course, support systems surrounding communities like this. sara 11 years hold it's

unthinkable. nick valencia. thank you so much for the reporting there. >> thank you so much, sara. we're gonna give you a live look right now. here at market futures, all pointing, well what do get a little bit up at the moment as you can see all after wall street kicked off the month of september on a down note with the dow falling more than 600 points, the and nasdaq and s&p also ended the day in the red. september has a history of being a tough month for markets this one also comes on the heels of a very up and down august lot of reporting on that throughout the month. there's a healthy dose also of anxiety over economic news to come this month, including a focus on what is the federal reserve really going to do? weeks of speculation that an interest rate cut is likely john, pretty solid green there behind you though, at least for this morning the u.s. is charged several hamas leaders with terrorism over the october 7 attack. what it will mean for negotiations over a possible some of hostage deal cnn business update is brought to

>> let's turn to this lawmakers. head back to capitol hill next week and with that it's there with that is already the talk of a possible government shutdown and work behind the scenes to avoid another one of those congress will have 13 days in session to figure it out before funding starts running out for a government agencies on september 30, add into the mix everything we're talking about that they returned for these negotiations in the midst of the final sprint to the election complicated might be the word of the day. cnn's lauren fox has new reporting on all of this. she's joining us now. lauren, what are you learning about this? >> well, we are here once again, we are just a couple of weeks away from a potential government shutdown. and right now, leaders have yet to form a plan that both sides agree to. right now, how speaker mike johnson is expected to hold a conference call with his members this morning around 11:00 a.m. where? we do plan to hear more details about what he

wants to do to fund the government. what we have learned from sources over the last several days is that they are eyeing a plan that would essentially fund the government for the next couple of months into march. and they would attach in addition to that funding bill, what is known as the save act, which essentially bar is illegal immigrants from voting in u.s. elections. now that's already illegal, and this is really part of republicans plans to sow some doubt about who is voting in american elections. that is something that democrats say is a non-starter for them. this is sort of a strategic moment for speaker johnson you give those in his right flank something that they have been asking for. this was a direct direct ask from the house freedom caucus and then give himself some time if that fails in the house or fails to go anywhere in the senate to craft a new deal. so this is going to be sort of a multistep process. democrats, i am being told are in a wait and see mode to understand whether or not johnson is going to have

the votes in his chamber to pass this potentially as soon as next week, if he can't, that opens up broader negotiations. if he can, then there has to be some broader conversations between senate democrats and house republicans about the path ahead. but again, that deadline coming up soon september 30, but then just a couple of days to figure it out once they return and making him all the more difficult and more complicated is the backdrop of the election it just, it complicates all of it. as you know, and you'll be there to cover it all. great to see you, lauren. thank you. john. >> all right. this morning, six hamas leaders have been charged with terrorism by the justice department, the u.s. justice department apartment for the october 7 attack on israel. cnn, national security correspondent kylie atwood joins us now, what are these charges on whom kylie yes. >> so the most significant person listed in this list is yahya sinwar as many folks know by now, he is the leader of hamas. he is the math mr. mind of the october 7 attacks, and he is also the person who is

calling the shots in this back-and-forth between hamas and israel when it comes to an effort to reach a ceasefire and hostage release deal, we should know that there are also three hamas leaders listed in here who are believed to be dead. and these charges are included number of things, but significantly, attorney general garland said that this is effectively not the end of the road. while october 7 was as it states in this complaint, the most violent, large-scale terrorist attack to date, there is still more action that these terrorists have taken since then, just look at what happened over the weekend. they killed six of those hostages, one of them, of course including an american. so the department of justice, this is the first step that they are taking to hold hamas criminally accountable for october 7. but this is certainly not the last listen to the attorney general himself on this yesterday the charges unsealed today are just one part of our effort to

target every aspect of hamas's operations. >> these actions will not be our last the justice department has a long memory we will pursue the terrorists responsible for murdering americans. and those who illegally provide them with material support for the rest of their lives now, these charges were filed back in february, john, but they were just unsealed this week and officials from doj say one of the reasons for that is because one of the folks who's listed in this political leader of hamas is my l honea. he was actually murdered and iran earlier this year. and so this essentially tried to keep these charges sealed in an effort to try and arrest some of the hamas leaders who are listed in this. but after that murder and after a number of things that have happened, they decide they no longer needed to do that will continue watching this space because garland did say that they're going to continue taking action here and we should also note that th
