we'll see how the laws compare to countries around this world this hour. welcome to viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm george howell. >> and i'm natalie allen. newsroom starts right now. thanks again for joining us. 5:01 a.m. here in atlanta. our top stories, republicans have been quick to defend u.s. president trump from the chorus of criticism since he came into office. but now there's a republican voice in that chorus. >> that voice is congressman justin amash, he calling for mr. trump to lose his job saying the president in fact has obstructed justice. >> writing this, attorney general barr has deliberately misrespected mueller's report. president trump has engaged in impeachable conduct.

and few members of congress have read the report. >> that's just the beginning. . from there he goes on to add that attorney general barr's misrepresentations are significant but often subtle, frequently taking the form of slight of hand qualifications or logical fallacies which he hopes people will not notice. amash also wris, that the mueller report identifies multiple examples of conduct satisfying all the elements of obstruction of justice, and undoubtedly any person who's not the president of the united states would be indicted based on such evidence. >> let's take a look at the implications of the congressman's statement. thanks for joining us. first, this congressman has been critical of the president in the past, saying he doesn't represent the president or the party but his constituents but now calling for impeachment and a specific reason --

obstruction. what do you think about this and what he's saying is this. >> it's definitely interesting. this is first republican to actually come forward and say that impeachment proceedings should be initiated. but as you already mentioned in some ways it's not surprising that representative amash who came forward. he was very critical of trump when trump was trying to win the candidacy in 2016. he on twitter has been critical of trump since. he also said in 2017, if trump did indeed tell comey to go easy on michael flynn in that investigation that would be an impeachable offense. he's had a history of attacking the president publicly. the question is, will other republican colleagues follow suit? >> that's my next question, will they. >> privately some republicans

have had it with trump and believe that the rule of law is being strained under this president. if they did look at the mueller report it was very clear they're at least around ten incidents of obstruction of justice, let alone the fact that trump was considered to be an undieted co-conspirator in the michael cohen case. there are plenty of reasons to want to impeach trump and according to what amash was saying the bar has really shi shifted and any other president would have been impeached by now. what's taking place among the republican party and among trump supporters as if it's a personality cult. people are completely transfixed by this president. they have blinders on. they don't want to look at alternative pieces of information. amash was saying that many of his colleagues haven't read the

report. they're completely rejecting it and don't want to follow suit. it will depend on whether or not some of these others will follow suit. some key senators in the republican party say enough is enough. >> one of the lines in his statement, partisan ship has eroded the system of checks and balances. we did see a republican congressman issue a subpoena for donald trump jr. regarding russian interference. but senator richard burr isn't running for re-election. that makes a big difference. >> yes, and a lot that has to do what their re-election chances are and what their kons tunesy wants. republicans have been more willing to come out and speak

out against trump. particularly if they're running in red states or red districts. you also have to look at what the general public feel. a recent qunnipiac university poll though 37% of the public feels that trump didn't deal with the mueller investigation in an honest way and 54% believe that he did obstruct justice. only 29% of the public thinks that impeachment proceedings should begin. in fact, 66% feel they should not initiate impeachment. and that's what the republicans and democrats are dealing with. they haven't overwhelming convinced the public that impeachment proceedings should begin. that makes it more difficult for republicans to come forward and take a stand against trump. >> will this at all resonate or have any impact on nancy pelosi

and other democrats? >> well, i think she seems to be moving a little bit more in the direction towards impeachment but she still keeps saying things to in fact that the public needs to be behind this and we need to make the case to the american public. pursuing investigations before they jump the gun too soon and that could lead to a backlash. when a president is enduring an impeachment they tend to have their popularity levels rise and not go down. in terms of other democrats we already know elizabeth warren a senator, believes impeachment should begin and the progressive caucus in the house that's very, very interested in pursuing impeachment. for the moment they're just pursuing these investigations. another poll by npr taken about a week ago or so, revealed that 49% of the public is in favor of

continuing with these investigations while 47% oppose it. a slight majority that wants to continue with these investigations and hopefully they can have a big reveal and reveal a big consensus and they can move forward with impeachment and other republican colleagues will move forward as well. >> a tough call for many reasons and for reasons that we're now heading toward the next election. natasha, always appreciate your insights. thank you. >> thank you having me. now to iran, that nation once again down playing the possibility of war if the region even though tensions continue with the u.s. >> the iranian foreign minister told state media that his country is not seeking war and that no one else and this is a quote, the illusion that it can fight iran in the middle east. >> in the meantime the u.s. has issued a warning to commercial airlines flying over the persian gulf basically saying that air

carriers risk being misidentify by iran even though the country isn't likely to target civil aircraft. let's bring in cnn international correspondent fred pleitgeen. the world from the supreme leader is no war in the region. what's the mood among people now now they're getting this clear and direct message amid these rising tensions? >> reporter: george, people are a lot more calm than they were at the beginning of last week. i think the tensions escalated to their highest point probably around wednesday of this past. you're right, ever since the supreme leader came out and said unequivocally that there's not going to be a war between the u.s. and iran things have calm down considerably. he believes that it would be quite painful for the united states. since then, iranian officials

across the board have been saying the same thing. you had first the supreme leader and the president rouhani saying there's not going to be a war between the u.s. and iran and the foreign minister just last night saying that this simply is not going to happen. on one hand, iranians believe in this recent standoff that's taken place that it was the u.s. who blinked first. sending fighter jets. at the end of the week, president trump calling for negotiations and he wants to iranians to call them. the iranians for their part say, that's not going happen. they want the u.s. to lift sancti sanctions. also, allowing international companies to invest in iran as well. of course, ultimately, they want the u.s. to go back to the nuclear agreement. what we have been talking about this whole past weekend, that's something that doesn't look like

it's in the cards. at the same time, george, the iranians themselves also seem pretty keen not to further fan the flames. one thing we heard late friday our own barbara starr had some reporting from the pentagons some iranians boats carrying missiles, returned to port and those missiles were unloaded. at friday prayers here in tie ran we thought those were going to be pretty fiery, with the aircraft deployments and those b-52s, but it subdued. at the same time, first of all, no negotiations and second of all, if there's an escalation of a situation they would be ready, george. >> fred to that point, both sides really, you're saying iran poised to did fend if necessary. talk to us about this warning

that's coming from the faa in the united states. commercial airliners flying through the region. >> reporter: commercial airliners flying through the region the faa said in a noti notification to airmen, a message to be on higher alert than usual. they were talking specifically about the area of the persian gulf and the gulf of amman. of course, they say right now, there's more military activity going on there than usual. they're also warning about the fact that the iranians do have air defense systems. if there's escalation of the conflict could be used by them as well. there's also a lot of military air traffic going at the moment. on the one hand, you have the deployment of the b-52s. one of things that faa warning, i actually read through that

warning very kaflly, one thing it said, airmen should be very careful while going through there because planes could be misidentified. that's always a threat. where you have a loft commercial air activity. that's one of the main sort of air highways if you will for flights going from the u.s., europe, all the way to the middle east. always a lot of air traffic there. because there's so much military traffic going on there now. >> fred, we appreciate the reporting given that tensions seem to be ratcheting down. fred, thank you. a political scandal is triggering snap elections in austria. >> that's right, that company's vice chancellor has resigned after a release of compromising

video. more now on what it means for austria and for european elections. >> reporter: faa man in glasses casually discusses investments worth millions and plans to control an austrian media outlet. it appears to be a austria's chancellor. standing is a member of the far-right freedom party. the video was allegedly fill mtd in secret three months before that year's election that brought him to election. first published friday in german media the origin is unclear but its fallout unequivocal. chanting snap elections now, thousands demanded new leadership in front of the chancellor's office. targeting his coalition. after yesterday's video, enough

is enough says chancellor sebastian hertz. the austrian president agreed with calls for early elections describing the video of strache as shameful. the main test is to restore the trust in our institutes from both from the outside and inside. this is such disrespect i will not tolerate. >> reporter: as he stepped down, the vince chancellor referred to the footage as a targeted political attack and denied doing any illegal. he apologized for the behavior that was caught on tape. >> translator: typical alcohol-fuelled macho behavior. yes, i also wanted to attract the attractive female host. with that i have hurt the most important people in my life,

particularly my wife. >> reporter: it comes a key time in the european union. elections for the european parliament are just days away and anti-immigrant leaders seem to gaining momentum. >> as european parties we need to make a decision, are we cl collaborating with those forces? >> reporter: speaking from croatian, angela merkeel said of the scandal, we must fight against the purchase of -- after seven rounds of voting india's general election wraps up today. the question now, will prime minister mohdi and his party hold on to party. we'll have that story for you. tens of millions of americans are in path of a

at times. the vote-counting process is set to begin this thursday. >> for more on the election, we're joined by bureau reporter, he's in tight race this time with his rival. what are the issues? >> reporter: well, natalie, one of the major issues is whether or not mr. mohdi has delivered on the issues he delivered. it was about generating jobs for the many million of indians. it has singularly failed on that count. too many people are still struggling to find employment. economy has been a major issue. another important battle ground has been society and the future of minority rights a and the

nature of this country. it makes many liberals and many minorities who live in this country very nervous. mr. modi's critics said not the economy has been pushing that agenda, one of candidates in central india who's facing terror charges in a case connected to attacks on muslims from several years ago, she denies it. she's out on bail. the fact that she was chosen as a candidate makes many people very nervous what happens if mr. modi returns to power. look, we're offering an alternative to this. they're saying that the promise they say he's failed to deliver on things like the economy they have policies to finally generate those jobs and to finally realize the potential of india's economy.

we'll have to wait as you said until the 23rd to see which way india voters have decided to go. >> help us appreciate the scale and scope of this election in india. it goes on for weeks and there are some 900 million eligible voters. >> the scale, natalie, is immense, as you said, some 900 million voters. 10 million officials involved in making that the whole exercise was pulled off. the reason it was over so many weeks, making sure the officials could be moved around the country to make sure voters could vote safely. roughly a 1 million polling stations around the country. it's really an immense exercise with no parallel around the world simply because of the number of the people who vetting. 545 seats in the national parliament.

543 are up for grabs in this election. whichever any party or coalition wins the largest number determines who becomes the next prime minister. this time, it's uncertain. we'll see how people vote. later this week. >> one can understand what will take a few days to tally it all up. thanks so much. now to australia, where that nation's prime minister is celebrating a surprising election. prime minister morrison looked to retain the position. >> it's a close call and don't let the name fool you the liberal national coalition is center right. now, labour leader said he's

stepping down after this stunning loss. here in the united states, more than 70 million americans are under the threat of severe weather from the state of texas to southern minnesota. >> that's oklahoma, dozens of tornadoes have already reported. one of the twisters tearing through this town, destroying homes and bringing down power lines. >> derek with more on what we can expect. >> that was rated an ef-2 tornado with winds up to 135 miles per hour. >> don't let the number 2 fool you. >> absolutely, it goes up to a scale of 5, of course, but that wasn't the only tornado that was caught on video. what you'll see now is an incredible video coming out of

kansas. the tornado overturbid that semi-truck and the people within the vehicle actually had to go and save the driver from that truck and then look at the scene that just unfolded in front of them as that rescue operation was taking place. scary, to say the least for the driver. scary for the individuals around there. but beautiful to see the twister in the background. the driver did get out of any injuries, good news there. as we speak, it's the middle of the night heading into the early morning hours in the central parts of the u.s. a threat of severe weather from the south to the midwest. damaging winds. the main primary threat. there are a few tornadoes that have formed over the past six hours. but that generally threat has subsided at least for now. but in the afternoon hours, we'll see a re-flare-up of tornadoes, it shifts to the north and to the east.

places like chicago, louisville, d.c., new york, syracuse, you'll have your weather alerts, your weather preparedness well under way here. not as well as widespread that we experienced over the past couple of days. but the threat still exists. ten tornadoes, over 150 wind reports that caused damage. here's the tornado watch that's in effect across louisiana a. this is part of a broader storm system that's rotating across central u.s. we have these impulses of energy coming across the rockies and they gather steam across the midwest. according to the storm prediction system -- they have issued this moderate risk, level 4 out of 5 well in advance of

the anticipation of the storm that shows you the level of confidence the storm system has for storms on monday. by the way that's seven-year anniversary of the moore tornado that struck that region on the same day and they have a severe weather threat once again. >> i remember that day. i was there that school was destroyed. democratic front-runner joe biden steps into the campaign spotlight and comes out swinging. what he had to say in the battle ground state of pennsylvania. >> the list of democrats hoping to say ttake the president's jo continues to grow. we'll meet the latest candidate. stay with us.

a warm welcome back to viewers here in united states and around the world. you're watching "cnn newsroom" from atlanta. i'm george howell. >> and i'm natalie. iran's top diplomat is again dismissing the prospect of war while tensions with the united states continues. state media was told that tehran doesn't want a conflict. austria's chancellor is calling for early elections after its vice chancellor seen here resigned after a corruption scandal. the final phase of india's six-week election is wrapping up

right now. voters there deciding whether the prime minister modi will stay in office for a second term. about 900 million people were eligible to vote in that election. the biggest voter registration in history. u.s. congressman justin amash has become the first republican lawmakers to publicly say the president committed impeachable offenses. he cites examples from the mueller report and the attorney general's misrepresentation of it. amash has been a freeshgt critic of the president. joe biden held his first major campaign rally on saturday. happened in philadelphia. his message targeted the president directly. a strategy he hopes will solidify him as front-runner. >> pennsylvania is a battleground state that went for mr. trump in 2016. with more here ee's arlette sae.

>> reporter: he emphasized the need to defeat president trump in 2020. biden argued that the policies that are important to voters and to democrats, civil liberties a woman's right to choose, a bold climate change, none of that will happen if president trump is still in office. he portrayed the president as a dedivisive figure. >> the single most important thing we have to accomplish to get this done, the single most important thing we have to accomplish is defeat donald trump. as long as donald trump is in the white house, none of these things, these critical things, are going to get down. >> reporter: biden pushed back thinking that democrats and republicans can work together to receive consensus, he said that this is a time for people to

stop fighting and to start fixing things. now, this event was held in pennsylvania which is state that donald trump won back in 2016, a state where biden sees a possible opening going forward in 2020. it's clear that pieden is trying to frame this election between a showdown between himself and the president. president trump will be here in the state on monday holding a campaign rally of his own. but before biden gets to a general election matchup, if he gets to general election matchup between himself and the president, he still has to make it through that crowded democrat ic field. >> the 23rd person running for the party's presidential nomination just joined the race. >> it's a crowded field, natalie, fair to say, montana governor steve bullock is now courting voters in that key state of iowa. his aim is to head right down

the middle when it comes to the issues. >> good morning, i'm steve. >> i know. you're from montana. >> reporter: he's the new name in town. and for montana governor steve bullock it's iowa or bust. >> we gathered to make sure that donald trump is one-term president. >> the field of democratic presidential hopefuls now large enough to suit up a football team with one player to spare. they've all been making that same plea for months. but bullock has a unique sales pitch -- the only 2020 candidate elected from deep-red trump country. >> i get i'm the 37th candidate in the race. >> 23. >> only 23, thank you. sometimes it gets confusing. >> reporter: how important is iowa to your campaign.

>> i think iowa is important to everyone's campaign. iowa always played that traditional starting-out role. >> reporter: he knows his candidacy will either break out or be broken by the iowa caucus. he's also scraping to make the cut for the first democratic debate next month which he hopes to pog himself in the ideological middle. has the party shifted too far to the left or not. >> i think the party, there are some things that are brought up that i don't know if ever could get done. he believes the path to the white house is by winning over some 2016 trump voters and by n inspiring democrats. can you do both? >> we have historically. >> reporter: he's meeting iowans who for months have been sizing

up the candidate. >> reporter: i have seen amy klobuchar, i've seen cory booker and michael bennett. i can tell you who else i've seen. >> reporter: so many you have to look on your list. >> and beto o'rourke. >> reporter: bullock is hitting the trail in boots and in his wranglers. insisting there's plenty of time to make his case. it's not too late sf. >> it's not too late. >> reporter: bwhat's the right decision? the middle lane the right lane? bullock trying to make the case that democrats should win over some of those trump voters since 2016. they should try to expand the liberal coalition. one thing is clear, bullock is trying to make a case he's a governor who makes things done.

jeff zeleny, cnn, des moines. something that may be talked about in the next election is the issue of abortion. abortion rights. which, again, is under fire in the u.s. we'll talk about what the current u.s. trend might mean for women and girls around the world a touch of politics and lot of style here. you'll want to get the highlights from the memorable eurovision finale in tel aviv. stay with us. she's zip lining with little jon? it's lil jon. even he knows that. thanks, captain obvious. don't hate-like their trip, book yours with hotels.com and get rewarded basically everywhere. hotels.com. be there. do that. get rewarded. you wouldn't accept from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills?

abortion rights have again become a battleground issue in the run-up to the 2020 election. the procedure has been legal in the united states for 46 years. but anti-abortion activists think they can get that change zbld the u.s. supreme court has shifted dramatically since its landmark ruling back in 1973. conservative judges including two picked by president trump now hold majority. >> a tweet from mr. trump late is saturday affirms it will be an election issue even saying, abortion rights advocates are imploding. likely a reference that states have passed or considering strict abortion laws. abortion laws across the world are complicated. countries shown in red prohib prohibited aunder any circumstances.

countries in yellow allow abortions in certain cases. and in countries shown here in green, abortions are available. joining me now to talk more about this is a legal adviser with amnesty international. thanks for being with us. at a time in the united states where we're seeing republicans push to restrict maybe even ban abortions, talk to us about trends around the world when it comes to abortion. >> well, it's a great question. it's really interesting. in the last 60 years, more than 30 countries have actually liberalized their laws and currently 74 countries, approximately 60% of the world population lives under abortion laws that are liberal, allow access without restriction and so, the u.s. by contrast is going in a very opposite

direction. >> if the u.s. reverses abortion laws and outlaws for the entire country, if that were to happen, would that have an effect on aborti abortion law trends globally? >> absolutely. we're a leader in progressive issues and regressive issues. the u.s. sets the trend for laws and policies around a range of issues. but in particular around sexual and reproduction health issues it would set a terrible trend. you often see other governments mimic what the u.s. does and often the u.s. government hinges funding and support for other countries in accordance with whether they comply with our laws and policies. it's very troubling for the world as a whole. >> if states succeed in the u.s. and it goes to supreme court

which is more conservative now, if the ruling roev. wade is turned back, talk to us about that. what would happen in today's world. >> it's a very dark and dire picture i'd have to say. i mean, evidence shows and the world health organization confirms, you know, year after year that when you restrict access to abortion what happens women and girls and all pregnant people end up having to resort to unsafe abortions. in reality, if you're actually attempting to reduce abortion rights they increase in women and girls. lives are at threat. if we liberalize abortion laws you reduce the incident of abortions. so, if the intent is to reduce

abortions this is not going to be the best way to go. and we're just putting women's and girls' lives at threat. >> it doesn't mean easy access to abortions, clinics are closing, women are intimidated who try to go and some countries where abortion is legal, what way can abortion opponents make access to abortion difficult? >> well, you know, for decades, even since roe v. wade passed in the united states, advocates who are anti-choice and pro-life have made access difficult. it's not just around the world. but in this country, there's been an onslaught of laws and policies aimed at restricting abortion access in terms of closing down clinics, you know, requiring nonmedically requirements and access to

abortion, requiring parental consent laws that even if perhaps the parent has been involved in violence which has led to impregnant an adolescent they would have to get permission from their parent to terminate a pregnancy. issues in terms of access to abortion are happening elsewhere this has been an ongoing issue since the passage of roe v. wade. increasingly year after year increasing laws and policies that greatly restrict access to abortion. in some states there's only one or two clinics for services. >> well, i want to ask you, we have seen women who don't normally speak out on abortion rights wake up to what's going on in state legislatures,

they're sounding off on social media, republicans who passed these laws at the next election, i want to ask you, do you see the abortion issue making a difference in the 2020 election? >> you see the abortion issue a major lightning rod in every election. no doubt this will be a huge issue in the 2020 election. it's my hope and, you know, desire that people who are perhaps uncomfortable with this issue they personalized it and they realize even if you do have mixed feelings about abortion, if you don't get people access to come pprehensive sexuality education, access to contraception, to protect themselves from violence you're not putting them in a fair situation. and you're also punishing them
