♪ two witnesses, two testimonies. one we'll bring you all the latest on capitol hill. and donald trump has once again ignored advice from his own advisers, this time, it involves the pardoning of service members, with war crime allegations. also prince andrew addressing his friendship with

jeffrey epstein for the very first time. hear what he has to say, coming up. and live from cnn world headquarters here in atlanta, welcome to our viewers in the united states and all around the world, i'm michael holmes. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. welcome, everyone. friday's testimony from two u.s. diplomats painting a vivid picture of the u.s. president's direct involvement in the ukraine scandal. first up, marie yovanovitch literally outlining how she became the target of a smear campaign. the president went after her on twitter. we'll have more on that in a moment. the other witness, david holmes, a u.s. state department aide in

kiev. holmes said he was told the president did not care about ukraine, only about getting political dirt on democratic political rival joe biden and biden's son hunter. and the person who told him that was the ambassador to the eu gordon sondland. he said, this, quote, i heard ambassador sondland greet the president and explain he was calling from kiev. i heard president trump then clarify the ambassador was in ukraine. ambassador sondland replayed, yes, he was in ukraine. went on to state that president zelensky, quote, loves your ass. i then heard president trump say, so, he's gonna do the investigation? ambassador sondland replied that he's going to do it. adding, quote, he'll do anything you ask him to do. and it comes on the heels of

ambassador marie yovanovitch's public appearance. even some republicans were taken back. get, everywhere marie yovanovitch went turned bad the president wrote. he added that ukrainian president had spoken about him. yovanovitch was told about the tweet moments later. >> what effect do you think that has on other witnesses' willingness to come forward and expose wrongdoing? >> well, it's very intimidating. >> it's designed to intimidate, is it not? i mean, i can't speak to what the president is trying to do. but i think the effect is to be intimidating. >> well, i want to let you know, ambassador, that some of us here take witness intimidation very, very seriously. >> people in the gallery applauded ambassador marie yovanovitch at the end of her

six hours of testimony. we get more now from cnn's alex marquardt. >> our ukraine policy has been thrown into disarray. and shady interests of the world over have learned how little it takes to remove an american ambassador it who does not give him what they want. >> reporter: a blistering opening statement by ambassador marie yovanovitch as as he took same at her smear campaign. >> there's a question as to why the kind of campaign to get me out of ukraine happened. because all the president has to do is say he wants a different ambassador. and in my line of work. perhaps in your line of work as well, all we have is our reputation. and so this has been a very painful period. >> reporter: the president has criticized yovanovitch repeatedly, including on the july 25th call with president zelensky calling her bad news and saying she would go through some things.

>> i was shocked and devastated that i would feature in a phone call between two heads of state, in such a manner, where president trump said that i was bad news to another world leader. and that i would be going through some things. so, i was -- it was a terrible moment. >> reporter: terrible and threatening. >> sounded like a threat. >> did you feel threatened? >> i do. >> reporter: yovanovitch quickly called out rudy giuliani the president's personal lawyer for leading the smear campaign against her. >> i do not understand mr. giuliani's motives for attacking me. nor can i offer an opinion on whether he believed the allegations he spread about me. >> reporter: republicans didn't defend giuliani's role or his parallel policy in ukraine. >> i'm not exactly sure what the ambassador is doing here today. this is the house intelligence

committee that's now turned into the house impeachment committee. >> reporter: they argued that the president has the right to recall any ambassador he likes and saying the way she was attacked by no defense from her bosses and suddenly pulled out has created a chilling effect. >> not only in embassy kyiv, but throughout the state department. because people don't know kind of whether their efforts to pursue our stated policy are going to be supported. and that is a dangerous place to be. >> what was clear in this hearing is how profoundly disturbing this experience was for yovanovitch. a 33-year career coming to a crashing halt after she had been asked to extend her tenure in kiev. and yanked out of her post by a 1:00 a.m. phone call and told to

get on the next plane home. she used the words, shocked, appalled, devastated. then when she read the transcript talking about her go going through her face. the color left her face and there's no surprise that yovanovitch thinks there's a chilling effect. >> leslie vinjamuri is in london. thank you for joining us. this from democrats being, of course, criticized for secondhand evidence, how do you view this? how significant is it for the president? >> well, i think it's very significant. and, of course, remember that these impeachment hearings are not meant to be part of them. they're meant to be looking into whether or not there was a quid pro quo. and whether the president of the united states was withholding military aid for purposes that had to do with getting dirt on

one of the leading contenders for the democratic nomination vice president joe biden. so, it's not meant to be partisan. but, yes, that was testimony was tremendously important because it suggests very clear evidence that the president was directly pressuring the ukrainian president to conduct investigations and linking that to military aid. >> and, of course, that all in the face of denial, donald trump denied this week knowing anything about that call, never heard about it, he said. he's also said he hardly knew sondland. yet, this is a man sondland who can pick up a cell phone in a restaurant in kiev and get the president on the line. and according to other people who might testify about that. where does that leave the president in terms of his denials about all of this? >> yeah. i think what we're seeing in these hearings a few days in, you know, we're seeing the credibility of the claims that

the president is putting out being consistently undermined. and next week, we'll have sondland testifying. i think what we're seeing in the hearings is an effort to establish the broader context of how zig ukraine has been for u.s. foreign policy. the two key goals of that policy have been rooting out corruption. and assisting ukraine towards a successful democratic transition. and providing for its national security in the context of the 2014 illegal annexation that russia undertook of crimea. so, incredibly important context to establish. and then to drill down on the president's disregard for the very important goals of american policy in support these pressure to have this investigations. >> all right. now, let's talk, for a moment, about the former ukraine

ambassador marie yovanovitch in that public hearing. what was the head line for you out of that testimony? >> well, i think there were a couple of things. one, again, is that we are talk about anz ambassador who you noted served 33 years. taking a very challenging post who has been very committed across republican and democratic presidents first served under president reagan. so what we've seen for three years, those people most committed to america's engagement diplomatically overseas, that state department is being hollowed out. so, i think that general point was really on display. but also, of course, the fact that the president was tweeting during this testimony suggests that he is not taking seriously the integrity of impeachment

hearings. and that there is a very serious threat that witnesses, not only the ambassador while she was testifying, but future witnesses are being subject to intimidation by the united states of america. it's tremendously grave. >> in fact, there was blowback from journalists and fox news as well criticizing the president for that tweet. in the totality, how do you view the events of friday, yovanovitch's testimony, david holmes' testimony, you've got sondland next week. other witnesses coming up. somebody from the office of budget management as well. the roger stone verdict. how does it impact the strategy despite the impeachment? >> well, you know, the republicans, unfortunately, at the moment, it does seem to be an impeachment hearing -- the hearings do seem to be viewed through partisan lens. one hopes that won't be the

case. but on the republican strategy has varied. it's for some, i think it's a strategy of saying is this really so significant. once the evidence becomes clear and clearer, as it did on friday that the president was pressuring zelensky, the ukraine president, to conduct those investigations, and lynching it to military assistance, then the strategy is to move towards saying is it really that significant. i think one of the big questions here, and this is what we're really waiting to see how public attitudes of americans will develop. will they change? how dynamic is this? and will americans remain somewhat fixed in their views. and you know, congressmen and women are going to be watching, to see how their constituents respond to these public hearings. that is what we don't know yet. but that is what i really think is most significant as we move forward. >> always reminds you of the saying that the republicans were with richard nixon until they

weren't. leslie vinjamuri, thanks so much. >> thank you. u.s. house democrats hope to be done with the impeachment by christmas they say. so a lot of witnesses are being called to tell congress publicly what they know. eight scheduled for next week, including the u.s. ambassador to eu gordon sondland which he will attempt version three of his testimony. while the president faces impeachment hearings, one of his longtime advisers is being found guilty of lying to and congress. roger stone convicted on seven counts. they include lying to congress and failing to turn over documents. for the most serious of the crimes, witness tampering, he faces 20 years.

stone had this reaction to the verdict. >> mr. stone, what's your reaction to the verdict? >> no comment. >> are you receiving a pardon from president trump? >> no comment. >> don't do that, no comment. >> 67-year-old is still under a gag order as he awaits sentencing, which is in february of next year. stone is the sixth trump associate to have been convicted of a crime since the president took office. all of those cases stemming from the russia investigation. and president trump has ignored advice from his defense secretary and pentagon officials and abosolved three service members accused of war crimes. cnn's warren brown with more. >> president trump making a major decision on three high-profile military justice cases on friday. pardoning two u.s. army soldiers

and restoring the rank of a navy s.e.a.l. who had been convicted of posing with a corpse in iraq. the first what lieutenant clint lawrence who had been convicted of second degree murder for ordering his troops to fire on an afghan man. and major matthew golcy who had been charged with murder after killing an unarmed afghan man. he had pled not guilty. the pardons mean that lawrence and goldstein will return to the u.s. army in good standing. lawrence after being convicted had been imprisoned in'leavenworth in kansas. he will likely, we're today, return to military. president trump had been expected to make some decision on this. some members of congress had lobbied president trump. and some fox news lobbied trump

for full pardon for levinstein and lawrence. he overviewed the advice of his senior military commanders who are worried this decision do have a negative impact on good order and discipline, as well as potentially underline the ucmj, the uniform code of military justice system. the white house says president trump as commander in chief has every right to make these type of decisions. this is something he had promised to do, take a look at these cases, and he's fulfilling that promise. again, a controversial decision embraced by some. some are also criticizing it as a potential abuse of the military justice system. for now, president trump making it clear these three men, two will be pardoned, and one will have his rank restored despite objections of some. ryan browne, cnn, the pentagon. one year ago, parts of france descended in chaos.

on november 17th, 2018, more than 250,000 protesters took to the streets of france. in paris, they wore the yellow vests that french motorists are obliged by law to carry in their cars. their target, a hike in the fuel tax, announced by the government in the name of the environment. after that first mass protest, the yellow vests occupied roundabouts, rallying their sympathizers through social media, setting up road blocks and waiting to see how many would join them the following week. the leaderless revolt setting a trend that would come to be followed elsewhere, not least in its violence. >> after we're here, now even the police, they can feel it. we are not afraid anymore. >> reporter: by early december, paris was burning.

with violence worsening, week after week, in the face of the government response judged too little too late. on december 12th, the french president cancelled the fuel tax hike, and later announced an $11 billion package rate hikes and tax relief for the least well off, conceding to many of the demands of the yellow vests. >> the opponent brought responsibility. >> i accept my share of responsibility. i may have given you the feeling that i wasn't concerned that i had other priorities. i also know that i've hurt some of you with my statements. >> reporter: but the concessions seemed only to broaden the grievances of the yellow vests from high taxes to the cost of living to equality in general. the anger unleashed proved impossible to contain. with the police facing off each week with ordinary groups of protesters, but also with more radical and violent activists from both the far right and the far left. by the end of january, emmanuel

macron held meetings across the country, holding marathon sessions with local officials and ordinary citizens in order to hear their grievances himself. new anti-riot legislation was introduced and little by little, the movement lost momentum. according to interior ministry figures 20 protesters and 1800 had been injured and 11 people killed, mainly in traffic accidents. yellow vest organizers say that 24 people lost an eye. as the violence became more sporadic and the numbers of yellow vests dwindled, the question of what had been achieved had been debated not least among the yellow vests themselves. >> gives us nothing. only violence in the streets, nothing else. >> reporter: one year on, have the yellow vests vanished for good? or can they once again appear to

come from nowhere? >> and melissa bell joins us now live from paris. i know you're keeping an eye on things there. what have you been seeing? >> reporter: well, we're starting to get a sense, michael, of how this day is likely to pan out. it isn't so much that the numbers of protesters are that massive at this stage, it's that we're seeing their determination to get into confrontation with place. two clash points, one to the west of champs-elysees and where marches have set off and what we've seen in the course of the past hour are fires being lit and tear gas being sent by police. i think that's crucial. what we saw over the course of that year with protests, was the protesters at first having advantage over police. which hadn't had the mobility they needed to take them on successfully. we saw the police in the beginning, in the first few

months, regularly outfoundatixe the protesters who managed to get around the tactics they were ewing and cause destruction and violence. now, already you've seen those protesters trying to do that once again, lighting those fires, trying to set up blockades. but very quickly, those highly mobile units that police used to disburse of them and using tear gas very cesc tieffectively so . yellow vest protesters trying to create areas where they can cause damage to take on the police. and the police trying to ensure that can't happen, michael. >> melissa bell keeping an eye on it for us. thanks, melissa. well, the white house finally puts out a transcript of president trump's april phone call with ukraine's leader. but it's most newsworthy for what's missing. the detail coming up. also in california, a

and welcome back to our viewers in the united states and all around the world, i'm michael holmes. you're watching "cnn newsroom." these are the top stories this hour. president trump's longtime adviser roger stone has been convicted of lying to and obstructing congress in a case stemming from the trump/russia probe. for his most serious crime tampering, stone faces 20 years. and david holmes overhearing

a phone conversation in which president trump would do as he asked and investigate his political rival joe biden and his son hunter. holmes testified during impeachment hearings that he was at lunch in kiev with the u.s. ambassador gordon sondland. during sondland's call with the president and could clearly hear trump asking about the investigation. earlier on friday, the former u.s. ambassador to ukraine marie yovanovitch was testifying publicly when president trump attacked her on twitter. she was asked about the tweet moments later and replied that she found it very intimidating. >> now, the appearance of holmes and yovanovitch on capitol hill overshadowed another development, one with the trump white house probably thought would help the president. for details on that, here's cnn's kaitlan collins. >> the hearing will come to order. >> reporter: as marie yovanovitch was gavelled in today, the white house released

the transcript of the first call. which devin nunes read. >> when you're settled in and ready. i'd like to invite to you the white house. we'll have a lot of things to talk about. >> reporter: the transcript immediately raising questions because it made no mention of corruption. that convicts a readout published by the white house months ago which claims the two leaders discussed ways to root out corruption during their first call. the white house has insisted fighting corruption was the primary reason trump held up the military aid to ukraine. and officials didn't explain the discrepancy when cnn asked for comment. today, the press secretary said trump would only watch nunes' opening statement, but for the rest of the day he will be working hard for the american people. though trump later admitted he'd been paying close attention. >> i've been watching for the first time, i started watching. >> reporter: everywhere marie yovanovitch went went bad.

trump tweeted. she started out in somalia, how did that go? then fast forward to ukraine where the ukrainian president spoke unfavorably about her in my second phone call with him. it is a u.s. president's absolute right to point ambassadors, they call it serve serving the president. >> ambassador yovanovitch, as we sit here testifying, the president is attacking you on twitter. i'd like to give you a chance to respond. >> i can't speak to what the president is trying to do, i think the effect is to be intimidating. >> reporter: after facing criticism from republicans for his tweet, trump said it wasn't witness tampering, and he had the right to speak up. >> i don't think so at all. tampering is when a guy like shifty schiff doesn't allow lawyers. >> reporter: with the readout of

that actual call transcript said it's the national security council who handles the readouts of the president's calls and they say this one in april was handled by their up ukraine expert, that's alex vindman who testified behind closed doors about his alarm with the president's secretary call to ukraine. he's expected to go publicly on tuesday. kaitlan collins, cnn, the white house. in california, the 16-year-old gunman who opened fire on his classmates before turning the gun on himself has died from his injuries. police say the teen shot five students killing two. and a 16-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy. now as the community grieves, investigators are left trying to piece together why this tragedy took place. cnn's sara sidner reports. >> reporter: we're here in central park in santa clarita, california, this is where parents came to reunite with their children after a school

shooting at saugus high school. the shock of that shooting has started to subside. now sorrow is setting in. a sign of sorrow and remembrance, a makeshift memorial grows each other after yet another deadly school shooting. this time it happened in saugus high school in santa clarita high school. >> me and my friends were running up this hill trying to get to safety. >> reporter: one of 14-year-old nadia's friends never had a chance to get to safety. 14-year-old grace anne muehlberger was shot to death. >> she's such a pure person. it's so sad to see something like this happening so close to home. she was one of the sweetest people i've ever met. ever talked to. >> reporter: also killed

14-year-old dominic blackwell. three other students were wounded. sheriffs investigators say it was the shooter's birthday. he had just turned 16 the day he opened fire, using the last bullet to shoot himself in the head. sheriff alex villaknnueva said e shooter pulled from his backpack. >> in 16 seconds he cleared a malfunction, was able to shoot five people and himself. he seemed very familiar with firing the weapon. >> reporter: investigators say the gun used in the killings were not registered. six others recovered from the family home belonged to his deceased father. what has not been discovered is why. >> sufficed to say, we did not find any manifesto. any diary that spelled out. any suicide note or any writings which will clearly identify his

motive behind this assault. >> reporter: the deadly assault on his community is exacting a terrible toll it lives on in the minds of students, staff and parents who endured it. >> it's so hard, the sound of gunshots and sights of everybody running is playing in my head. >> reporter: a terrible thing for a 14-year-old, a freshman in high school to have playing over and over again in her head. but the school district says there is counseling available. and the community here in santa clarita is coming together like never before. sara sidner, cnn, santa clarita, california. we'll take a short break here. when we come back, venice is in for another tough day. historic flooding shutting down many businesses and landmarks causing millions of dollars of damage. prince andrew finally addresses his friendship with late pedophile jeffrey epstein.

happy veterans day. please visit studentveterans.org venice waiting for relief from days of what forecasters call exceptional flooding. the rising water is crippling the lagoon city, forcing businesses and historic landmarks to close. the city actually under a state of emergency. it is the worst flooding venice has seen in more than 50 years. causing hundreds of millions of dollars. scott mclain joins from us venice with an update. the last hour we spoke, the tide was on its way in. what has changed in the last hour? >> reporter: hey, michael, so we're about 15 minutes away now from high tide. you can see the square is completely flooded.

but there are also a lot of tourists getting back to their normal business. cafes have opened for the first time. today, the high tide, even though it looks dramatic is much less, significantly less than it was earlier in the week. it will peak at 175 centimeters of sea level. earlier in the week 180. add 80 centimeters on that and you've got a heck of a lot of water. it bears reminding how ornate this basilica is. is it is one of the historic treasures of italy. it is not the kind of thing you want to see under water. or with water right up to the door. the problem here, michael, is that they are expecting more water tomorrow. not what we saw on tuesday. but close. 160 centimeters. again, imagine what we have now.

add 60 centimeters to it, hello. you'll see the water somewhere near the top of these platforms. so, again, the issue is, a lot of the businesses. a lot of the store fronts and things like that, and houses as well, they do have flood defense -- you know, metal gates that are water tight that they can put in that can stop some water from what they're seeing right now from causing significant damage. the issue is when it reaches a certain level, it's either going to jump on top of the gates or simply come from the ground, come through the plumbing. there's nothing they can do to really stop it at all. they've been seeing this phenomenon more and more over the last couple of years. the mayor who was actually in this square in the last hour, touring around officials from the italian government said this is climate change. he's pinning this on climate change. we can't pin one specific event on climate change. he is correct in saying, look, sea levels have been rising

which is exacerbating these high tides we've been seeing here in venice, michael. >> indeed, can't argue with that. scott mclean there in venice. popular with the tourists. let you get back to schmoozing. derek van dam is joining us. tell us, what is the outlook? >> you know, it's interesting, scott did a great job of showcasing how beautiful that city it's. it actually has the highest concentration of masterpieces in the world. we don't want to see this city flooded right? time will tell before we get a full scope of this disaster that has unfolded across the city. there has been another round of flooding, we know this took place yesterday. and now they're going through high tide. yesterday they reached 154 centimeters officially above the normal tide. you can see that is considered

an exceptional tidal event. but that was nothing compared to like what scott said what happened on tuesday where they.second highest flooding even ever in the city of venice. the lagoon city. the tidal chart, bear with me, fluctuates with the daily tides. you can see the high tides, one taking praie ing place in venic morning. and another two, that being sunday. he did a great job of the cause and effect. a full moon, that impacts the tidal plans across the planet. and then the adriatic, all thanks to the storm systems across the region. guess what, the latest weather map shows another colt front and low pressure on top of heavy rainfall that will bring another round of flooding to the city, unfortunately, going forward. it's interesting to note, too, st. mark's basilica has only

flooded six times in the past millenia. and the past two flooding events have occurred in the past two decades. >> i'd call that evidence. >> exactly. >> derek van dam with the latest there. beautiful city. we wish it well. britain's prince andrew speaking publicly for the first time about his links to the late convicted sex offender jeffrey epstein. prince andrew telling the bbc he let the royal family down. andrew said he has no recall of meeting one of epstein's accusers who says she was a miner whmine minor when she met the prince. haddas gould is there. >> reporter: it clearly took place with the queen's blessing.

>> and prince andrew also said that he let the palace down. he said that he regrets meeting with epstein, even after epstein had been convicted of sex crimes. now, he is getting support from important places including his ex-wife the duchess of york sarah ferguson. she tweeted it is so rare to meet people that are able to speak from the hart and honesty and pure real truth. andrew is a true and real gentleman. there's a lot of people, including attorneys for epstein's accusers why is he willing to sit down for this interview but have yet to speak to investigators in the united states. >> hadas gold, thank you so much. and the woman accusing prince

andrew of assaulting her. she spoke to becky anderson. >> what should we in the media be doing in your view that we're not? >> we need to change the way we talk about victims huge in the media. one thing that bothers me so, they call me prince andrew's lover. prince andrew's sex slave. i've got all of those names in the news. and i think, like, i'm not any of those things. i was trafficked to this man. i was a minor, being trafficked. i didn't have a choice in the matter. i couldn't say no. so, let's start using stronger more powerful words so victims feel like they can come forward, you know. and i just encourage the media to continue to work hand in hand with the authorities and with
