um, cnn, jessica. >> thanks, mr. vice president. you mentioned the cdc director's comments this morning about the masks and how critical they are. you previously called for a mask mandate, a national mask mandate. if you were elected, what steps would you take to put that in place, and how would that work? >> well, first of all, i found it fascinating the president said and biden didn't put in a mask mandate. i don't know, but i'm not the president. he's the president. it's like biden's problems in these cities are in flames. i'm not the president. he's the president. i would call all the governors to the white house and say -- and because there's a question, i think it can be answered in the positive, a question whether i can mandate over state lines that every single state has to comply. our legal team thinks i can do that based upon the degree to which there's a crisis in those states and how bad things are for the country. and if we don't do it what happens. but i would make the case, i'd make the case why it's necessary. i'd ha

cnn has obtained a copy of the latest ones, michael cohen's "disloyal." they are damning making the president out to be a blatant racist. for example, after then private citizen trump's presidential kickoff announcement in 2015 cohen told him, quote, i will never get the hispanic vote. like the blacks, they're too stupid to vote for trump. they're not my people. cohen said after barack obama's historic victory in 2008 trump ranted tell me about one country that isn't run by a black person that isn't an s hole. they are all complete f'ing toilets. >>> a bombshell article published in "the atlantic," it's not going away. >> reporter: with less than two months until election day, president trump can't seem to shake this "atlantic" article. the president reportedly referring to those fallen service members as suckers and losers and now multiple news outlets, including cnn, have confirmed different parts of "the atlantic" story. he did refer to them in crude and disparaging terms. the push back from the white house has been tremendous. more than any other prev

cnn's paula hancocks is live. what more are we expecting to see? in japan as the powerful typhoon went there. a 70-year-old woman fell as she was evacuated. four people missing due to landslides pushing houses into the river. then here in south sore rea we know that the storm is just off the east coast at this point and it's heading towards north korea. one person missing in north korea. hundreds of thousands of people in north korea and south korea. they have no power. the one concern there is is japan and south korea have the capability of dealing with this kind of severe weather. north korea does not have the infrastructure. the fact that this is skirting the east coast does give concern not just for human life and buildings but also for the agriculture industry. it's a country with food insecurity. this close to the harvest they don't want to have anything that would jeopardize that. we saw kim jong-un touring a damaged area from the previous typhoon which was just a matter of days ago. they are concerned what could happen over the next 12 hour

this is "cnn newsroom." >>> the u.s. is beginning a holiday weekend that could impact public health for weeks to come. labor day is traditionally summer's last hoorah. a time to be outdoors and around people. but health experts warn it could mean a surge of new coronavirus cases, which is what happened after holiday weekends. the president is boasting about the country's progress against the disease and getting a skeptical response from the nation's top infectious disease expert. >> by the way, we're rounding the corner. we're rounding the corner on the virus. >> i'm not sure what he means. there's states that are doing well, in that the case numbers are coming down. our concern right now is that there are a number of states, particularly, flex, the dakotas, montana, michigan, minnesota and others, who are starting to have an uptick. >> the numbers tell a different story than the president, as well. the country has now confirmed more than 6.2 million cases, according to johns hopkins university. that's one-quarter of the

let's turn now to cnn's steven chen. he joins us from beijing.what's the latest on all of these developments? >> reporter: well, rosemary, this is the u.s. custom and border protection agency issuing five new orders targeting companies making hair products, cotton products, computer parts and clothing in this one industrial junk. the chinese government has long standing here. the government just dismissed the latest allegations from the u.s. government. they have said these are places where oremus limb minorities have been subject to torture, abuse and force. that's why they're trying to block all products made in these camps from getting to the u.s. there is a wider initiative being done. that is still going through legal analysis. u.s. officials don't want it. multiple sources have told us he has intended to serve only one term. the fact he is suddenly leaving before the november election and that the top u.s. representative in china is leaving his post at a time when bilateral relations are hitting an all-time low is catching a lot of attentio

thank you so much, cnn's will ripley for us in hong kong.. >>> well, investigators are trying to determine if an envelope mailed to president trump contained the poison ricin. preliminary tests came back positive. the envelope there was intercepted before it reached the white house. a source tells us it came from canada and officials are aware of at least seven similar letters, some which were sent to law enforcement in texas. the fbi says there is no known threat to the public. >>> all right, still ahead, a look at the extraordinary life and leg ty of justice ruth bader ginsburg. >> in my lifetime, i expect to see three, four, perhaps even more women on the high court bench. women not shaped from the same mold, but of different complexions. >> and years later, her prediction came true. ginsburg in her own words coming up next. want to brain better? unlike ordinary memory supplements... neuriva has clinically proven ingredients that fuel 5 indicators of brain performance. memory... focus... accuracy... learning and concentration. try it toda

cnn's rosa flores is in miami.ou have breaking news on who might be responsible. >> reporter: you're absolutely right, pamela. this is breaking news from the miami-dade county public schools police chief, who tells us that preliminary information suggests that the sources of these attack are both foreign and domestic. so these attacks on the miami-dade county public schools started on day one of virtual schooling. today alone according to the chief they've been attacked at least 13 times by what they call a distributed denial of service attack. all that is, is imagine a million people knocking at your door all at the same time trying to get in. so what these attacks do is they create a bottleneck and doesn't allow, in this case students and teachers, to log on. just to give you a sense of the size of the school district. this is the fourth largest school district in the country with more than 500,000 students. according to the chief they are working with the fbi and also with the secret service and that they are lo

cnn's scott mclean in london.art with you, scott, in the uk where you are, just as people are returning to work and school. cases are shooting up and the government's being accused of having lost control of the virus. what's behind this? >> reporter: hey, kim. perhaps this shouldn't be pricing in many places across england, life has gone back to usual. restaurants are open. pubs are open. the schools are back open and the government is trying to encourage businesses to send their employees who have been working from home back to the office to stimulate the economy and to really help out those town centers, which have really borne the brunt of this coronavirus lockdown. they've seen very little foot traffic over the last several months. yesterday the uk recorded its highest single-day case count since may. the health secretary in this country says he's concerned. listen. >> it's predominately amongst younger people, but, of course, younger people can pass on the disease to their grandparents and we do not want to s

manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. >>> and cnn legal analyst areva martin is in los angeles. she joins me now. good to see you. thanks for talking with us. >> hi, rosemary. >> so as the country mourns the loss of supreme court justice ruth bader ginsburg, politics is driving the scramble to replace her, ignoring and disrespecting rbg's dying wish to have the next president of this country decide who replaces her. so, instead, we see president trump forging ahead, but there is resistance coming from senators collins and murkowski. how likely is it that two other republican senators will stand with them and stop this vote until after the election? >> well, you're right, rosemary, the country is mourning the death of ruth bader ginsburg, and me too, as any lawyer would be because she paved the way for all of us to, you know, be in the legal profession today. and, unfortunately, the republicans are not honoring her legacy or her dying wish, which it was to have her replacement appointed by the next president of the united states. i have absolutely no faith that the two republican

where i work where rupert is calling ahead of at&t trying to buy cnn offering to buy cnn, there is some speculation out there that maybe he was doing that in concert with trump in other words, this is a theory, is not proven or disproven, the theory goes like this, trump, murdoch he had an alliance of sort and beneficial relationships, murdoch insulted him in private and causing crazy member beneficial relationship, the theory goes like this, did trump and murdoch try to get at&t to sell cnn as a condition of the federal government approving at&t take over of the rest of time warner, that is the theory that folks do believe in corporate symbols. at&t said no we are not selling to cnn but the timing of his phone calls to at&t is very curious, i laid out in the book, you look at the timing and you wonder if murdoch is working with trump. >> the government did try to prevent at&t from taking over time warner and maybe was hard to do when they had instant approval -- >> exactly it did not make any sense that you would stop the other one -- you been such an outspoken in hollywood that's why

kaitlyn collins, cnn, the white house. >>> so let's talk now with cnn political analyst joe lockheartress secretary for former president bill clinton from 1998 to 2000. thank you so much for speaking with us. >> glad to be here. >> so the passing of supreme court justice ruth bader ginsberg has triggered an almighty political fight to replace her with president trump leading the charge, planning to nominate a woman by saturday and to get a confirmation senate vote before the election. only two republican senators pushing back right now. what viable options are available to democrats to fight this? >> well, they can try to slow down the works in the senate to get it to election day, but that's not likely t it's likely that another senator or two are going to defect. so i think this is going to go through, i would expect, before election day. and then democrats, because they don't have a chance to stop it, they do have a chance to retaliate. they could add seats if joe biden wins and they take over the senate to the supreme court. they would have to get rid of the filibuster, which they
