00:00Outage outrage. Millions of people worldwide are feeling it today. A major internet disruption
00:05bringing down popular websites and impacting everything from banks and social media to
00:11airlines. Plus a humiliating heist that just took the third longest government shutdown in U.S.
00:17history just hit its 20th day with the stalemate on Capitol Hill showing no signs of ending anytime
00:22soon. And the furloughs impacting thousands of federal workers are now coming for a critical
00:27group of employees at the agency that oversees the U.S. nuclear stockpile. The Energy Department
00:33says the National Nuclear Security Administration will begin furloughing most of its staff today.
00:38We're talking about 1,400 federal workers which means fewer than 400 will remain on the job.
00:44CNN's Renee Marsh is with us with more on this story. This department has never had to furlough
00:49workers right during a shutdown so what's the immediate impact here? Yeah this is a first and
00:53the 1,400 who will be home. The Department of Energy telling us in a statement that again this
00:59is the first time that they have to experience this. They say that they've done all that they
01:03could up until this point. They tried to extend their funding. Now the contractors doing the work
01:08the designing the building of these weapons they too can begin to run out of money. How risky is this
01:13when it comes to national security? I talk to my sources within NNSA about this. They say
01:20right and tasks. Renee Marsh thank you very much for the report. Still to come President Trump
01:25meeting the Australian Prime Minister at the White House. What he said about the upcoming China
01:28meeting. Putin and his new threat to quote eradicate Hamas if it doesn't abide by his ceasefire
01:35agreement. Plus Amazon says the issues that brought down internet sites for banks, airlines, delivery apps
01:41and many other websites has been quote fully mitigated. We have the latest on that. And then later
01:46the latest on the manhunt for the thieves that snatched precious and priceless jewels from the
01:52Louvre Museum in Paris. We have that and much more coming up on CNN. A new update from the world's
01:57number one provider of internet cloud services. Amazon Web Services saying moments ago that its plan
02:02to fix ongoing internet connectivity issues appears to be working. The company has been back and forth on
02:09whether it was seeing progress after a global outage impacted websites and apps big and small.
02:14Everything from banking services and airlines to social networks, online shopping sites, entertainment
02:19and gaming platforms. Thousands of services, millions of people worldwide, all forced offline.
02:26Let's bring in CNN tech reporter Claire Duffy. Claire, this is huge. What's happening here?
02:32Yeah, Brianna, the internet has been on a real roller coaster this morning, but the latest haven't been able to
02:37spend money normally. People haven't been able to do their jobs. So a really significant impact and
02:42hopefully this is now truly on the mend. Yeah, not to mention the wordle. If you can't do your job,
02:48you need the wordle, right? So why do these outages keep happening?
02:52Yeah, I mean, I think it gives you a sense of just how much of the internet is reliant on
02:57these
02:57relatively small number of infrastructure providers. The internet used to be this really
03:02decentralized place, but we've come for the update on that. And still ahead, the world's largest museum.
03:08Trump talks up a potential trade deal with China with his next tariff hike set to take effect in
03:13less than two weeks. But today, he says a deal with President Xi is going to be very exciting.
03:18Plus, lingering lag, the widespread disruption of internet service impacting airlines to the apps
03:25on your phone. And what Amazon is now in day 20 of the government shutdown and the Senate is
03:30reconvening here in the next hour. And their 11th vote to fund the government is expected to take place
03:36later today. Once again, it is not expected to pass, despite more and more government workers
03:42being furloughed. Senate staffers were told they're no longer getting paid as the standoff between
03:47Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill approaches four weeks. CNN's Monty Raju is live for us on
03:52Capitol Hill. Monty, the House has not been in session this whole time. Any sense that that could change?
04:01Potentially, but it's still a way they will negotiate any of that until the government
04:06is reopened. And the standoff will only persist. We are now in the third longest shutdown in the
04:11history of the United States. This is the longest partial government, full government shutdown in
04:16history. The other two that have been longer were partial government shutdowns. So the pain will be felt,
04:21including to those furloughed federal workers. Now, the question is, will they get paid? The Senate
04:26plans to take up was skeptical of that. But he said, if it did pass, Brianna, that the House could
04:31come back in a session as soon as this week. All right. If the House comes back, will Arizona
04:38Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva be sworn in, Manu? It would seem that way because the speaker has
04:44set this up saying that if when the House comes back to normal about him trying to do this, or
04:50he's
04:50rejected questions, as I say, of him trying to do this to deny Democrats an additional seat here,
04:55but if the House is back, he almost certainly would have to swear her in. Yeah. All right. We'll be
05:01looking for that. Mani Raju, live for us on the Hill. Thank you. And still to come out of some
05:05of
05:05the other headlines that we're watching this hour, a cargo plane. And in Canada, new video shows the
05:09moment that robbers hit a jump with federal and city health leaders now in a public debate over
05:14the safety of vaccines. Parents are left in the middle trying to decipher mixed messages.
05:20We're learning some new details about the meeting that President Trump and Ukrainian President
05:25Volodymyr Zelenskyy had on Friday. European officials were briefed on the meeting, and they tell CNN
05:31the tone shifted when Trump pushed Ukraine to make territorial concessions to end the war with Russia.
05:38Trump grew frustrated at one point. He raised his voice multiple times, according to sources. CNN senior
05:45White House reporter Kevin Lipdak is with us now. Kevin, tell us what you're learning about the call.
05:50Yeah, and it's becoming more and more evident that the president is growing. And I think,
05:56you know, for Zelenskyy, this will be something of a disappointment. One, he walked away from this
06:00meeting without a guarantee for those long-range Tomahawk missiles, which is something that he had
06:05been hoping for heading into it. And two, the president seems to be zigzagging back and forth.
06:09Demanding answers. Right now, a federal judge questioning Trump officials over tactics used
06:15in its immigration crackdown in Chicago. We've got the latest from court. And as the government
06:20shutdown drags on, today the majority of federal staff who oversee the U.S. nuclear stockpile
06:26will be furloughed. So what does that mean for national security? And historic heist.
06:31A major courtroom showdown between a federal judge and immigration officials in Chicago. For the past
06:37several hours, top ICE and Border Patrol officials have been facing questions from a judge who's
06:43demanding explanations for how they responded to protests over their immigration crackdown
06:47in the Chicago area. The judge issued a restraint. The clock is ticking. Today is the deadline for
06:52indicted former FBI Director James Comey to file a motion to dismiss federal charges that he lied to
06:58Congress. It's also the deadline for Comey's attorneys to file a challenge to the prosecutorial
07:02authority of Trump's hand-picked interim U.S. attorney Lindsey Halligan. CNN crime.
07:08Back to the courtroom showdown between a federal judge and immigration officials in Chicago.
07:13Top ICE and Border Patrol officials have been facing questions from a judge who is demanding
07:18explanations for how they responded to protests over their immigration crackdown in the Chicago
07:23area. CNN's Whitney Wilde has been in the courtroom for this hearing. She's with us now.
07:27Whitney, what stood out to you? Well, Brianna, this hearing is...
07:34Just moments ago, Amazon announced that its systems are mostly back online after a major outage brought
07:39down thousands of websites and apps, impacting millions of people around the world. Amazon Web
07:45Services is the leading provider of cloud infrastructure technology, and it's a lifeline for companies
07:50both big and small. With us now is Mark Spoonhour, Global Editor-in-Chief for Tom's Guide.
07:57All right, so explain to us what happened here, because so many apps, sites, and just the stuff
08:06that people use day in, day out is being affected.
08:10Companies, but in terms of what happened, it looks like the errors started coming in around 3 a.m.
08:15Eastern time. And it's basically like the phone book of the Internet couldn't give the correct
08:19phone number to lots of addresses. And what that basically mean, there was like failed connections
08:24across the board. And this had a cascade. One expert's telling CNN that the total cost of the
08:29outage could reach hundreds of billions of dollars. Explain to us why and who's going to be shouldering
08:36that cost. Yeah, so I think when you think about like all the services impacted, like even like
08:44Zoom, right, so that the cost of productivity, like for that alone, I saw one estimate that it's
08:48as many as like or as much as $500,000 per hour for that particular business. Amazon redundancy is
08:55being put in place so it doesn't go on for like several hours at a time. 3 a.m. to
09:003 p.m. is a long
09:02stretch. What can they do to prevent it again? And how important is that for these apps, websites,
09:11all of these businesses to stick with Amazon and not go looking for someone else?
09:19Tunity. Mark Spoonhour, great to speak with you about this and give people a real sense
09:24of what's happening here. We appreciate it. Thank you.
