1:00 am
president. now, if you remember the indictment, this is the mar-a-lago classified documents. indictment. this all relates to his time >> after he left the presidency. in fact, according to prosecutors, it didn't even be coma crime until january 20 when he left office. and so how could immunity possibly relate to a time when he wasn't president donald trump's answer in this brief as well, the decision to take these documents was made while i was president. it is an incredible long. it's even more of a longshot than. the immunity argument that he's currently making. in the other january 6. so >> as part of well, it's a standard motion that people make. defendants do make motions at this point in the process, but this one has so little merit that i think it can be fairly written off as an effort to delay elie honig. >> good to know that. good to see this. we'll see what the judge decides here. of course, thanks for hopping on the phone with us for this breaking news. and you all so much for joining us, cnn newsnight with abby phillip will continue with the breaking news ahead.
1:01 am
>> tonight on 360 more than 50 years since the last time an american lunar lander is once again on the moon's surface and about to send back pictures, how it came to be at long last and how it almost didn't. also tonight, more breaking news as the biden administration prepares to impose new sanctions on russia of the death of alexey navalny. and the former president is still not critical sizing putin. my conversation with trump's former top russia expert, fiona hill. and later, trump wanted another month to pay that massive civil penalty for the business fraud he committed. now the judge hutchins ruled the answer is no we begin tonight with breaking news that is not happened since richard nixon was president for the first time since apollo 17 back in december of 1972, an american lunar lander has touched down on the surface of the moon. we're expecting any minute we're told the first images coming in from the odysseus lander from a spot just north of the moon's south pole. odysseus lifted off seven days ago. it is the first privately built vehicle to make the mission and likely apollo
1:02 am
11. its descent to the lunar surface included some last minute technical difficulties to overcome. but just like apollo 11, eagle, odysseus has landed here's what it looked and sounded like in houston >> we can confirm without a doubt, is our equipment is on the surface of a man and we are transmitting. so graduations in team we'll see how much more we can get from that >> join his now, cnn space and defense correspondent kristin fisher. so what is mission control saying at this hour, kristen? >> well, so far mission control isn't saying anything beyond the fact that they have equipment on the surface of the moon and that it is transmitting signals back to the mission control in houston, texas. so anderson, at the very least, this is a partial success according to the company big, question now is, what condition is this lunar
1:03 am
lander in? and can it send back pictures? we are still waiting on those first images. one taken by the lander itself, and then another one. there's a little camera that popped off called the eagle cam. it popped off of the lander shortly before landing and so we should be getting images from that as well. that's what we're waiting for. but the fact that this spacecraft has even touched down on the surface of the moon and did transmit that signal is a pretty tremendous accomplishment in and of itself. the first time a private company has ever done this, the first time an american male its spacecraft has done this since 1972. and anderson, it's the first time that any spacecraft has touched down on the south pole of the moon, a critical spot. they think that's where ice is water. >> it's where nasa wants >> to build a lunar base for artemis astronauts. the first astronauts to return to the moon since the apollo program it's where china wants to build a base as well. but anderson is real nail biting moments the
1:04 am
nasw administrator described it as an apollo 13 moment with no humans onboard, of course, because of some of the technical issues they had to troubleshoot. >> yeah. what happened? i mean, up until the last second, the difficulties yeah. >> anderson, it's so wild. i mean, they were really fixing on the fly. they had an issue, you know, how radar works, radar radar. it sends out a radio signal which then bounces off an object which lets you tell how far away you are from it. well, this is lidar lazar instead of radio waves, light waves bouncing off of it. and that's what this spacecraft, this robotic uncrewed spacecraft, uses to find a safe landing spot because the moon has craters and boulders all over it. there was a problem with intuitive machines is lidar navigation system. and so it just so happened that nasa had an experimental lidar payload on the lander as well. they were somehow able to patch it through to the lunar lander odysseus and that experimental
1:05 am
experimental nasa navigation system lidar is what they were able to use to get this on the surface of the moon. so pretty incredible that they were able pull it off. but now we want to see the pictures anderson, right? yeah. kristen, stick around. i want to bring in cnn aerospace analyst miles o'brien, former nasa astronaut as well, leland melvin. so leland, you flew in two missions to space. i'm wondering what stands out to you about this landing anderson anytime that you go to space, you always find something that's not going to work. and so my spatial admissions, we had some things we had to kinda work on the fly just like they did with nova, see where we had to switch the light radar for the lidar in a payload that wasn't meant to be used for this. and i think this shows the american ingenuity, which you can do on the fly when you have to make something work. and it's an incredible, incredible accomplishment for the for the team. >> yeah, i'm miles i mean, we saw that two-hour period when controllers we're troubleshooting the navigation system i mean, it was we've
1:06 am
seen this in movies about former, about other emissions in space. how difficult is for team on the ground till affect what's actually happening in space >> yeah, that's the frustrating, challenging thing. and this is why engineers get in this racket what's interesting about a team like this is the approaches to just work the problem i'm just keep working the problem something comes up. you work at, you don't sit on your hands and wait for things to happen. you come up with alternatives and to me, when you think about apollo, what everybody remembers apollo 11, the first moon landing, what's the next one they remember apollo 13, that was by all intents and purposes, you could call that a failure. you could call it nasa's greatest triumph, which is what i would ascribe to. and that was because of this very fact, you had an engineering team. the best of the brightest coping with the situation in
1:07 am
real time and to the extent that this vehicle is on the the surface, we're going to give it a victory. maybe it's not. we're not going to give this landing a ten from the romanian judge. they didn't quite stick it but they're on the surface of the moon and we got to give them all credit for that, watching that team do that as exciting. i think chris, this laser sensor patch that are deceased ended up using was improvised and then uplink. can you explain? for non-space experts what exactly that means and the risk of it all. >> yeah. so think about what neil armstrong date on apollo 11. he was able to look out the windows of the eagle lander and he saw that it was going to come down a big boulder field. right. and so he was actually able to take control of the land and and move it to a safe spot on these robotic spacecraft. he can't do that. and so 21st century modern lunar landers are using things like cameras and sensors to figure out where to land. and so this lidar was using lasers to ping the laser beams off the
1:08 am
surface of the moon to try to figure out some of the best spots, safest spots to land and so that we don't know what the problem was, but that was the instrument that had a problem. and like i said, anderson, it just so happened that nasa had this other experimental lidar payload that was already on board the lunar lander. and they were able to use that to help figure out exactly where this spacecraft should land. >> leland, we know there was nasa technology on board. a decius. how much oversight involvement do they actually, how does it work out? how much over site involvement or they have on private emissions >> what i think this clips program where they're letting american companies build the hardware just like what we did with spacex when we had the crew cargo program to the international space station. so they're building this low cost hardware to take payloads and things. nasa payloads to them so until we can usher in the artemis program. and i think
1:09 am
the oversight is probably, hey, let these guys build the vehicle, will take our payloads, but they're going to get all the technical assistance from nasa all these years of story knowledge of how to put things on the moon, how to have people working and living together on another surface of something. and i think this is a gateway to give you my friend victor glover and christina and the artemis. the artemis two crew going to the moon in the next year. so i'm really excited, anderson and i think this is the way we're going to be living and working one day on another planet. >> miles. there was an expectation that there would be a communications outage once the unit actual landing kinda walk us through why that's the case and why it took a while to confirm the land because we're all waiting for it. >> yeah, there's no satellites revolving around mark. excuse me, the moon just yet anderson, that's part of the plan, by the way, is to build that kind of infrastructure so that you can truthfully live there in a meaningful way and have come communications as best you can and so as the earth and the
1:10 am
moon rotate and do their dance in space, you have times when you cannot communicate. we all remember the big blackout periods for the apollo days. if you around for that. so that was when they landed. it was unclear if we're in what would have been an expected blackout versus some thing that was perhaps more ominous. i feel like we're somewhere in-between the ominous and the expected here. it'll be remained to be seen exactly how healthy this craft is. but again, the fact that they're on the surface, we've got to give him credit >> and kristen, as we mentioned, we're waiting for pictures for images if and when we get them, how are they actually going? to show up? what i mean? what did they look like? >> well, we should be getting two different sets of images and they will come from the company intuitive machines and their mission control, which is in houston, right by the johnson space center. the two sets of pictures, one should come and we should have gotten it a while ago to be the honest one should come from the lunar lander, odysseus itself, a camera that's mounted on the lander and then the other one
1:11 am
should come from what's called the eagle cam. and this was a it's the camera essentially pops off odysseus right before odysseus lands, so that it can get a third person perspective of the landing and capture a shot of odysseus with the moon behind it, or underneath it. anderson, i should note that the company that designed that eagle cam, they say that the eagle cam is intact and working so it's a good sign, but we just don't have the images yet, so it's tough to really confirm that it worked, but they could come any minute. >> and i just want to chris just so i can the images we're showing right now. is this like an animal? mason? >> yeah. this is this is a rendering that you're seeing here from the company, intuitive machines and you know, i should just note that this is this is a new era of space exploration where commercial, private in this
1:12 am
case publicly traded companies are leading the charge. this is not a nasa government run operation that is required to share certain information publicly. naseh is a sponsor. they have several payloads on this mission, but just like with all these spacex launches and missions, we are sort of at the mercy of of these private companies to give us these pictures and give us this data. and i will say intuitive machines. and the previous us lunar landing attempt last month asked robotic, they were both very transparent but all of us journalists following this really want some more information right now about the status >> yeah, we're we're not yet kristin fisher. thank you. miles o'brien, leland melvin as well. of course. bring you the lunar surface images if and when they come in, we should also mention that leland is executive producer the national geographic film, the space race, which tells the story of america is pioneering black astronauts. check that out. coming up next more breaking news is president biden prepares to announce new sanctions on russia in the wake of alexey navalny's death.

angie.com. >> the biden is set to announce new sanctions against russia tomorrow and other treasury department is saying that they all target what they call russia, its enablers and its war machine. they follow the arrest in russia, a russian american dual national, the murder of a russian defector in spain. and of course, the death of alexey navalny late today learning that russian authorities put yet more conditions on navalny's mother in exchange for releasing his body to her? navalny's widow and daughter meantime, met today in san francisco with president biden. according to the white house, he expressed his condolences as well as admiration for navalny and characterize tomorrow's new sanctions is major gentler words and the president used at a fundraiser last night quoting him. now, we have a crazy sob. the president said that guy putin and others, and we always have to be worried about nuclear conflict. he added that the existential threat to humanity is climate. responding today, the kremlin spokesman said, quote, clearly mr. biden is demonstrating behavior in the style of but hollywood cowboy to cater to domestic political interests, which is
1:18 am
really the thing anyone familiar with a cold war will recognize that sort of language. what is unrecognizable, whoever in cold war terms is an american presidential candidate or republican, no less refusing to criticize the russian leader donald trump is still not even mentioned. vladimir putin's name in connection with navalny's death. and steady says things like this >> we are turning into a communist country in many ways. and if you look at it, i'm the leading candidate. i get into i never heard of being indicted before i was going i got indicted four times. forum of navalny. it is a form of communism or fascism, or the other is me, fails dimension is his own narcissism more on these new conditions, alexey navalny's moms says russian officials have set to release her son's body, seen as matthew chance's moscow for us. so i know she put out a video message today. what did she say >> well, she was very upset. i
1:19 am
mean, remember she's been a couple of thousand miles north of moscow in that arctic region where alexei navalny died in his isolated prison camp, trying to achieve the body of her son and she's not been successful so far, but she has now it's been revealed, managed to see the corpse of alexey navalny. his remains and she's also signed the the the death certificates. we know from an avowedly spokesperson, his team headquarters, saying that the official reason for his death has been put down as natural causes. and that's something obviously that they dispute that they accused the kremlin of killing alexei navalny, something we should say, the kremlin have, have denied and she said, most worryingly that before the body is released to her as his election of others, mom, they've set conditions on it on the funeral. they want they want to dictate where and when and how the funeral was held?
1:20 am
they've said it could be held in moscow and the body will be flown back on a special aircraft to moscow, but it's basically going to be under tight control. they don't want it to be a public funeral. they want it to be a secret one, a private one. and that's something that navalny's mother and the families team are at the moment resisting what's the kremlin's response to all of this >> well, i spoke to dmitry peskov, who's vladimir putin spokesman earlier tonight about this in he's not in moscow that they're elsewhere in the country. he said, look, i haven't even seen these comments, so these allegations, so i can't comment on it where we're dealing with business this that's important to russia. he said to me as if ziff, this isn't important to russia, but i think it's pretty clear that the kremlin is worried about what a funeral for alexey navalny of public funeral for alexei navalny might mean this is a guy who could rally tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of people on the streets of
1:21 am
russians, russian towns and cities when he was alive. and the concern i think for the authorities who don't like dissent and i've tried to crack down is is that his funeral or public funeral could be a focal point for anti-government protests. and that's particularly they're particularly sensitive about that in just a few weeks now before presidential elections in this country. so is it clear >> what exactly needs to happen? and when it might happen? i mean, whether navalny's body could be released to his mom well, i mean, the valleys mom says that basically she was she was threatened. they said, look, you've got to decide now what you want to do. because if you don't, then we'll do something to the body that's the word she used. i mean, i assume they mean they'll they'll vary the body of themselves mean like that >> but >> look, the body is in the morgue in this arctic region to the north of moscow i think
1:22 am
everybody is agreed on one thing which is the body is going to come back to this area to moscow to be buried and so look where we're expecting that decision to be made very shortly the authority said a couple of days ago they needed two weeks to conduct medical tests, autopsies, post-mortems on the valleys, corpus to find out the cause of death. but it seems that that situation, as they've been resolved, at least officially and so it could be any day now that the body is handed over to the family and that funeral takes place and it could be a private, secret funeral that we won't hear about until it's actually finished. i mean, that was the situation you remember last year with your guinea prigozhin? when he was sort of secretly buried in the city of st. petersburg we didn't know about it until the funeral was already over, and that could be what the authorities want to achieve this time too. >> and that he chance in moscow, matthew, thank you. between imprisoning and possibly murdering election navalny arresting another american, the killing of that russian defector in spain and revelations the russian intelligence me, again, be
1:23 am
meddling in american politics and the biden impeachment inquiry certainly feels like a lot the add to that this new war of words, new sanctions tomorrow. and of course the war in ukraine. and it's hard not to wonder how much more strain the us russia relationship can get. so with all of that as the backdrop, want to get perspective time from fiona hill. she's senior fellow at the brookings institution, the former senior director for europe and russia at the national security council >> do you think >> the us has new sanctions on russia, which as we mentioned, are expected to be announced tomorrow. we'll have much of an impact while they won't have much of an impact in the short to medium term, most likely. i mean, there's obviously quite a lot of symbolism associated with these, especially as they're being applied after the death of alexei navalny. but over the longer term, sanctions are having an impact on the russian economy. i mean, they're also having an impact on russia's ability to rearm itself. it's just that we don't always see the results right away are huge to, i mean, given your knowledge of the former president, are you
1:24 am
surprised at all that he has not condemned vladimir putin for alexey navalny's death in fact, has compared his own legal problems toward navalny endured well i, am a little bit surprised that he went so far as to compare himself to alex navalny. i mean, that's pretty brazen to be frank. >> heard of salmon it to mandela in the past. so >> it seems right, yes, i sub, i suppose that if you put it into that comparison, this is already a pattern here, but in terms of the fact that he hasn't criticized putin, i'm not surprised at all. i mean, for former president trump, putin is to him the epitome of the strong man he's the kind of person that he likes to style himself on. so there's no way that he would criticize in front of thing. so that's just really par for the course. >> navalny's well, there has talked about pressure that she said she's receiving from russian authorities in regards to release of her son's body and his burial do you can you foresee the kremlin actually giving her the body allowing
1:25 am
for her to have a public funeral for her son no, that's something that they're trying to avoid. i mean, actually, what's surprising about this is the fact that navalny's mother has decided to speak out. she's obviously showing that she has a great deal of bravery and integrity yourself, that this wasn't just a characteristic of her son. i mean, the fact that she's gone out on youtube today are telling everybody wants happening. i mean, it's very clear that the kremlin wants to avoid making navalny a martyr. they don't want any kind of risk of larger public demonstrations around his death. and that the funeral itself becomes an event. >> you know, we've been reporting on this former fbi informant who according to federal prosecutors, false flee, accused the biden family of alyssa business dealings involving ukraine. now, telling investigators that some of the lies were passed to him by russian intelligence. we don't know if that's true, if that's also ally as well. i'm wondering what you make of that, that development what i'll quit being played by russian intelligence through
1:26 am
our town electoral campaigns, going back to definitely to 2016, we've got plenty of >> evidence of this. this is hardly a surprise. i myself, when i was asked to testify in the first impeachment trial of president trump pointed out that so much of the information that was circulating around was either being amplified, are being put up there in the first instant by russian intelligence and was part of a russian pressure and influence operation. so that's hardly a surprise there, but again, we're in that kind of environment where it's very difficult as for us to truth from lies and putin and the people around him like it that way. so we shouldn't also be surprised of this in of itself is meant to muddy the waters even further. >> the indication was that he had information that you which might even impact the 2024 election that he was trying to spread. how concerned are you about interference by russia in this upcoming election? >> well, look, i'll be franca understand that we're our own worst enemies here. we've got
1:27 am
plenty of misinformation circulating around from american political operatives. so there's not really that much show that the russians have to do. but what is useful for them is i would discord is the ranker, is the whole back and forth among our own politicians and all they can do is amplify that. so we're already in that kind of environment where russia has been stirring the pot and they don't really have to do very much to get her reaction from us. >> i still am stunned by what the former president said about welcoming, the invasion of nato countries that in his bennion haven't fully paid. there bills to nato i mean, they got something of an uproar, although it something, we come to expect from the former president held damaging do you think that is the counter argument as well? he's saying that to try to force nato countries to spend more, but it certainly sends a message to vladimir putin, doesn't it?
1:28 am
>> it does send a message to putin. i mean, basically what the president has done is undercut the value of article five because when you think about a mutual defense pact you're supposed to be protecting those who may be weaker in that alliance are the countries that even if they are spending 2% of their defense, obviously that their defensive capacity doesn't match up to the stronger members of the eye. and that's the bottom line, is supposed to be about. and frankly, president trump has been threatening the integrity of article five going right back to the beginning of his presidency why he didn't actually want to invoke that commitment in his very first address to the nato headquarters. >> if you're hill, thanks so much. >> thank you, anderson. >> we're just now learning that images from the moon surface are about to come in. we'll have that and more ahead tonight, also in the state of the war in ukraine, almost two years the day since roe russia invaded what it's like right now in kherson to the people live there under heavy bombardment with son with no place else to go hi it's

remember it's not just the invasion, the occupation, the liberation. they were intense floods that right and through kherson to in the height of summer after a dam upstream and the river burst, so much damage done to this city. and i think what's remarkable standing here to think about over these two years is quite what the russian goal is. they are really filling out the population here through this persistent shelling. i mean, it's remarkable just how nonstop the blasts really is essentially a war zone, a city that was huge, vibrant, and buzzling two years ago, really reduced to ghost at this point. and you got to wonder what putin's end goal is to occupy areas with nobody left in them without basic services about any of the real building standing here. they celebrated replacing the tenth thousandth window here in the last few weeks or so, some repair workers told me it is literally barely a piece of glass remaining. and from a basic civilian level, that's the spoils of putin's war. it seems even if he did manage to get back into so much damage done

matter. most >> the situation room with wolf blitzer weekdays did six on cnn. >> tonight, new developments in the form of presence, new york civil fraud case, trump's question, a delay in paying the $355 million penalty and now a judge has said no, cnn's kara scannell joins us now with the latest, what was the reasoning the judge gave? >> so trump had asked for this delay because of the magnitude this $355 judgment and the judge said that he did not provide as he put it, he didn't he failed to explain much less, justify any basis for delay. and this is because the new york attorney general's office had written up or proposed judgment and they were saying they wanted some time to look at it. the judge is saying this it's matches my order exactly. so we're going to move forward. so he indicated to the parties in an email that he was going to now finalize this judgment because as we know, the ruling came down friday, but it doesn't really become official until it's entered into the docket. so the judge noted on the docket that he was doing that, but it still has to get processed by a clerk. and once it has finally entered, which
1:43 am
it could be as soon as tomorrow, or it might take a couple of days then this will become official. >> so the clock starts ticking once it's finalized. >> that's right. so from whenever it is finalized, trump will have 30 days to appeal and 30 days to post $355 million plus $100 million and interests. so a lot of money, he'll have to put that together either by post seeing the cash himself, or getting a bond that can be backed by collateral. some of his properties. but he'll have about 30 days and that includes the weekends so if you can guesstimate if this judgment does become final soon, that means he could have to foot this bill, right when he's about to go to trial on the criminal hush money, charles. >> all right. kara scannell. thanks so much. more. legal battle now, manhattan district attorney alvin bragg, who's a democrat, is hitting back at a republican arizona prosecutor after she refused to extradite a suspect in a new york city murder case. the suspect is accused, of murdering a woman in soho hotel room earlier this month, he was arrested in arizona. this week on suspicion of stabbing two women in the state. the maricopa county
