you're live in the cnn newsroom. great to have you with us on this saturday evening. i'm ana cabrera in new york. president trump is now tweeting in farsi in show of support for iranians. many are protesting today not as a call for unity but as to condemn their leaders. after iran admitted to downing a ukrainian airliner due to, quote, human error. they're crying, shame, leave the country. in a warning now, this video we

are about to show you is disturbing. it shows the missile that iran says an operator mistakenly fired hitting flight 752 killing all 176 people on board. but as iran accepts the blame, it seems to be shifting some of it on the u.s. iran's foreign minister says the error happened, quote, at a time of crisis caused by u.s. advent richl. the islamic republic shot down the plane after the u.s. strikes in iraq, retaliation for the deaths of general soleimani. the white house keeps changing its narrative on just how, quote, imminent the threat he posed was. the latest version from president trump, soleimani was planning to attack four u.s. embassies, a detail multiple lawmakers say was not mentioned in their classified briefing this week. for more on these shifting narratives from the administration, let's get to jeremy diamond at the white

house. i want to begin with this message of support the president is sending to protesters in tehran. what can you tell us? >> reporter: that's right. the president and his top advisers have insisted that their goal in iran is not regime change. tonight we're seeing the president expressing solidarity with protesters in iran calling for the resignation. the tweeting in persian, farsi, that is, saying to the people of iran i stood with you since the beginning of may presidency and my administration will continue to stand with you. we are following your protests closely and are inspired by your courage. those are the words of the president of the united states tonight. the president as his administration have not gotten their message straight as it related to their targeted killing of the iranian general qassem soleimani. nine days after the president authorized that strike, the president and his advisers are struggling to get the message straight about the imminence of the threat and the specifics of

the intelligence that led to the president's order. listen in. >> soleimani was plotting um innocent and sinister attacks. >> you need to look at the days that led up to the strikes. >> we did it because they were looking to blow up our embassy. he was looking very seriously at our embassies and not just the embassy in baghdad. >> we don't know precisely when and where, but it was real. we had specific information on an imminent threat, and those threats included attacks on u.s. embassies. >> i can reveal that i believe it would have been four embassies. >> so, there is of course there the contradiction and the question of whether or not the united states did or did not know what the specific targets were. the president seems to say yes, the secretary of state seems to say no. then there's also the question of imminence because that is the legal justification that this administration used in order to authorize this military strike, claiming that there was an

imminent threat. but the secretary of state himself has contradicted himself. he has at the same time suggested we did not know exactly where or when this attack would take place, but insisting that's not a contradiction with claiming an imminent attack was planned. >> at the white house, fast moving developments tonight. thank you. with us now u.s. ambassador john lynnburg. he was one of the americaning held captive during hostage. we've heard from other survivors of the hostage crisis who described in these recent days and the past couple of weeks really having flash backs or reliving some of the trauma they went through. i'm wondering if you can share how you've been feeling. >> well, it's been 40 years, and i mean, my own connections to iran go back a lot longer than that. >> right. >> so, this was one thing that happened. it wasn't the best thing.

it was very frightening. it was very distressing. but again there's a long relationship. and there's a long relationship with the u.s. that is much more than hostility and trading insults. >> you're right. i think so many of us see iran as an adversary. i wonder with that mindset seeing the trump administration stick up and, you know, give it to iran provide any comfort or satisfaction to you in any way given your experience having been held hostage by this country? >> there was one bit of satisfaction in the fact that 40 years after 40 years that the president did raise the issue that hasn't been completely forgotten. the sad thing is it remains a festering sore between the two countries.

and as soon as there's haas tull hostility or misunderstanding or incident, this gets dragged out. as long as the iranians, as long as the islamic republic every year demonstrates on the occasion on the fourth of november in tehran and pretends that this was a good thing or either ignores that it ever happened at all, this festering sore isn't going to be healed. >> i want to talk more about your experience at the region, with iran specifically. you were the former deputy assistant secretary for iran in the obama administration. so, you know this region well. i would like you to look at the video cnn obtained today of thousands of antigovernment protesters in front of the former american embassy in tehran. the protest occurred after iran admitted to shooting down that ukrainian airliner? what do you think the feeling is in the streets of iran? >> i haven't been to iran in 40

years, not by choice. i would love to go, but i'm not welcome there. but it's very clear this particular government, this particular islamic republic, this form of government is apparently not very popular, doesn't have a lot of fans. it stays in -- it's the same people after 40 years. it's gotten old. it's gotten inflexible. it's gotten brutal. it stays in power by force and by a small ka dre of believers. small things now. increasing gas prices. this incident with the ukrainian airplane shows just how fragile it is. and it's hanging in -- i think it's hanging on. i don't know how it's going to change, what it's going to change. but i don't see it lasting much longer.

>> that's interesting because remember earlier this week we saw millions turn out seemingly mourning the death of soleimani. i mean, how do you, i guess, square that scene of mourning to the antigovernment protests that appear to be happening today? >> that's different. that's an interesting question. because what he -- he really was a mix of currents, a representative mix of currents. he represented some of the most brutal parts of a brutal regime. he was one of the tools that the regime used to maintain itself in power through brutality and violence. on the other hand, he represented defensive of homeland. he fought in iraq, he fought against iraqis, fought against isis. and that gave him credibility as an iranian nationalist and a patriot even with people who were not fans of the current system. >> let's turn to the president's

tweet just this evening, talking in farsi. i want to get your reaction to this. these clearly are meant for iranians to see. they're on the right hand of the screen, the one with the message in farsi. we had a translator verify it is matching the english treat. what do you make of the strategy of tweeting directly to the iranian people in their own language? would they be welcoming the support of the american president? >> this is not new, ana. for 40 years we have been telling the iranian people we love the iranian people but we don't like your leaders at all. this strategy has gotten us nowhere essentially. it has never -- it hasn't worked. i don't think it's going to work in this case. >> and the iranian people feel like it's not genuine or what? >> no. no. it's hard to believe. with all of the sanctions, with all of the difficulties, with all of the talk of regime change, with supporting the cult

of the mek, the connections through bolton and giuliani and others, it's not really very believable. and the interesting thing was last tuesday, tuesday night, when the president spoke, he changed that a little bit. if you'll remember, he said i want to speak to the iranian leaders and people. that was very, believe it or not, that was very obamaesque. >> i'm not sure president trump would like to hear that. >> no, i'm sure not, because for all of his rejection of everything connected to obama, in that particular case, he echoed obama's statements and obama's tone saying we can't just say we love the people, we love the people, we hate the leaders. no. we have to deal with the leaders even if we don't like them, even if we consider it a very unattractive and brutal and repressive regime.

>> ambassador limbert, great to have you here. >> my pleasure, ana. >> we appreciate your insights. president trump making his opinion known when it comes to who he would and wouldn't want to see at the senate impeachment trial and whether he would be willing to use executive privilege. missing. mething we're the ceramides in cerave. they help restore my natural barrier, so i can lock in moisture. we've got to have each other's backs... cerave. now the #1 dermatologist recommended skincare brand. for a nasty cold, take dayquil severe with vicks vapocool. whoa! and vaporize it with an intense rush of vicks vapors. ahhhhhhhhhh! dayquil severe with vicks vapocool. the daytime, coughing, stuffy head, vaporize your cold, medicine. you have fast-acting power over pain, so the whole world looks different. the unbeatable strength and speed of advil liqui-gels. what pain?

>> but then here's his response when asked about allowing his former national security adviser, john bolton to testify. >> why not call bolton? why not allow him to testify? this thing is bogus -- >> i would have no problem other than one thing. you can't be in the white house as president -- future. i'm talking about future, many future presidents -- and have a security adviser, anybody having to do with security and legal and other things. >> would you invoke executive privilege? >> i think you have to for the sake of the office. >> let's bring in our cnn political commentators from pennsylvania charlie dent and former assistant to george w. bush, scott jennings. if there's nothing to hide, why stand in the way of bolton testifying? >> well, there are legitimate executive privilege claims that every white house invokes regarding top advisers. when you serve at that rung of the white house, national security adviser, assistant to

the president, you are top to that privilege. presidents guarded that dating back to the beginning of the country, the idea that the president's advisers would be able to give him candid advice without being dragged before congress. i think the president raises a legitimate gripe about it. whether the senate decides to subpoena him or not, i don't know. but my guess is he would invoke executive privilege as i would any president to do. >> would it cover anything john bolton be testifying about? we had fiona hill testify john bolton told her to go to the national security council lawyers saying i wasn't part of any kind of drug deal that sondland and mulvaney were cooking up. and she talked about how he called giuliani a hand grenade. it was going to blow everybody up. so, he had conversations with other people who weren't the

president. don't you want to know what he has to say about what he knew? >> well, sure. i mean, i guess. and look, there's nothing stopping him from telling us right now. that's what i found puzzling about bolton's statement, that he was prepared to testify. you don't need to be subpoenaed to say what you know. you can write it all down and send it to congress today or you could have told the house. you could just show up and talk. you don't need a subpoena in order to talk. so, i've always been dubious that he actually wants to do this. i think he wants the appearance of looking like he wants to do it but then knowing that the white house might invoke executive privilege could prevent him from ever having to do it. >> congressman dent, you've been critical of this straugs. you said you probably would have voted to impeach the president. i want to ask you about the report that susan collins is working with a fairly small group of republican lawmakers in the senate to work to have witnesses called.

do you see that happening? >> i do. i think senator collins is sincere and she's going to work with other senate republicans to bring forth some witnesses. i could see her fellow colleague lisa murkowski and senator romney and the retiring members, those up for election. there could easily be four votes. and there should be witnesses including john bolton who, frankly, is not going to be -- they're not going to be able to claim executive privilege on what may be corrupt acts. so, i think the administration is going to have a tough time with executive privilege on bolton based on the nature of what has transpired. >> gop sources say they want to get trump acquitted by the state of the union address so he can tout the outcome in front of a national audience in prime time. when you look back to the time bill clinton was acquitted, he did not gloat. take a listen. >> i want to say again to the

american people how profoundly sorry i am for what i said and did to trigger these events and the great burden they have imposed on the congress and on the american people. >> so, clinton apologized for the misery he had put the nation through. scott, does the president, this president, need to strike a tone more similar to that versus taking a victory lap? >> well, two things. one, this is an election year and i don't anticipate the president in an election going forward to the american people and apologizing. number two, he doesn't think he has anything to apologize for. in the clinton case, he clearly obviously had a moral failing that he needed to apologize for. and the president today just doesn't see it that way. so, no i don't think he's going to -- i don't think he's going to do anything like what bill clinton did. i expect him not just to tout at the state of the union. frankly, i expect his campaign to have exoneration rallies all over the country when this is

said and done because they think they're on the winning side of it as a political matter. they've raised a ton of money off of it. they think their base is energized by it. i wouldn't expect any contrition. i would expect full blown offense when he's acquitted. >> your thoughts about the president and his tone at the state of the union? >> look, i think he should be apologetic. i mean, even though most republicans i know recognize that the president has done something wrong here. the question is does it rise to the level of impeachment. if i were the president, i would stand up and say i shouldn't have used my office to investigate my opponent and i shouldn't have tried to withhold vital defense assistance to that country in exchange for it. i think this is wrong. it's okay to state that it's wrong. and i think it's shameful that the president of the united states would actually use this sad chapter in our history as a way to benefit himself politically. can you imagine if a democratic president had done something like this? republicans would be up in arms.

and this guy would have been impeached a long time ago. that's the sad part of the nature of politics in america today. it's so situational and so tribal that somebody could use this event as awe w way to make money off it. it's really sad. >> good to talk to you both. coming up a new cnn poll and what appears to be a tight race in iowa 23 days out from when the first votes are cast. feeling sluggish or weighed down can be a sign your digestive system isn't working at its best. taking metamucil every day can help. its psyllium fiber forms a gel that traps and removes the waste that weighs you down. it also helps lower cholesterol and slows sugar absorption, promoting healthy blood sugar levels. so, start feeling lighter and more energetic

three weeks until iowa and three days until the final debate before the voting begins. we have some brand-new polling

to share with you, a cnn "des moines register" poll out of iowa finds bernie sanders is in the lead. sanders at 20%, warren at 17%, buttigieg at 16%, and biden at 15%. this new read on the field comes as these front runners stormed the campaign trail with warren and sanders in iowa, buttigieg and biden holding events in las vegas this afternoon. that's where we find cnn's jessica dean. what was biden's message to voters there. >> reporter: he was reaching out to the latino community here in las vegas, nevada. a lot of what they talked about was around immigration. we also heard the broader themes we've heard over the months. we hear him talk a lot about the soul of the nation. take a listen. >> we have to restore the soul of america. america's soul is at risk.

this guy comes down an escalator not much higher than those steps, and what's the first thing he says? he's running because he's going to get rid of those mexican rapists. what's he done the way he's treated latinos from the day he ran? everything is about we're being invaded. you know, the president's words speak matter even if the president is like this one, spewing hate that's been designed to divide us. >> reporter: again, making that case that president trump cannot have another four years in office and also that he, vice president biden, would be the person that could assume that office on day one ready to go. ana. >> jessica, how concerned is the biden camp about his standing in iowa? he's not dominating? >> reporter: yeah, i talked to a campaign aide today, and they told me, look, polls are going

to up and down. they always expected a very tight race there in iowa,that they're not focusing on those polls. they want to focus on caucus goers, that this is the time where they want to take those people still on the fence, that are persuade ables and convert them into biden supporters. and the campaign believes joe biden is at his best in one on one situations in front of these crowds and he can really connect with people. so we're going to see more and r more of him in iowa as we get closer and closer to february 3rd making the case in person to these people that he is the man on day one can be ready to be president. >> jessica dean in las vegas. thank you. the last debate before the first vote is right here on cnn. tune in tuesday at 9:00 p.m. eastern in partnership with "the des moines register." we have details about a big royal meeting in the works after the announcement of prince harry and meghan's exit next.

new details tonight on the crisis rocking the royal family. senior members of the royal family will hold a summit monday to discuss the couple's decision to step back from official royal duties. this meeting will include the queen, along with princes charles, william, and harry. this will be the first time all of the senior royals have met since harry and meghan made their big announcement. you can now count president trump among those weighing in on this royal crisis. >> i think it's sad. i do. i think it's sad. she's a great woman. she was blindsided by this whole situation, and i think it's too bad. but, you know, she's been the queen has to be an all-time record. from the time she's 25. now she's 94. she's never made a mistake if you look. she's had a flawless time.

>> it's not clear when meghan is planning to return from canada. for now prince harry remains in the uk dealing with the fallout. cnn's max foster has more on the announcement rocking the british monarchy. >> reporter: theirs is a life governed by royal protocol. but with this week's bombshell announcement prince harry and wife meghan make it clear they want to set their own rules. the couple defied the queen when they you shhissued a statement wednesday saying they would pull back from their duties as senior royals. the palace at first blindsided today swung into action. officials acting for the queen, the prince of wales, and the duke of cambridge are holding crisis talks about what to do, a source telling cnn, they wanted, quote, workable solutions within days. but the decision by prince harry and meghan, the duke and duchess

of sussex raises more questions than answers. the couple make no mention of giving up royal titles. they say they'll continue to do work for the monarchy and support their pa tro najs but they want to become independent and try to earn their own income as many minor members of the family do. one potential and significant source of income, the royal brand. they've applied for a trademark for the sussex royal which if approved they could stamp on scores of items and services from books and clothing to educational materials and care. there's a risk of monetizing the monarchy they're trying to distance themselves. critiques point out their security will still be funded by the taxpayer. they also hope to keep their official residence in win soer.

>> they're going off and acting autonomously, taking a private income with a private venture. >> reporter: if the family can't agree on a new roll for the couple going forward, they may be forced to resign their royal roles allege together. max foster, cnn buckingham palace, london. >> joins us, expert on all things royal, victoria. thank you for coming here. everything is unprecedented. we were discussing during the break, that's part of the intrigue. first they drop the news, then meghan markle goes to canada almost immediately while harry is left to pick up the pieces to deal with the fallout. what is the latest you're hearing about this crisis meeting or summit that's supposed to happen on monday? >> well, you're absolutely right. we've got really the royal family at the center of a royal soap opera the likes of which we haven't since the early '90s. what we've learned late this

afternoon is that the queen has called a summit on monday which is when we will have harry there for the first time with william, charles, and of course the queen. meghan will be dialing in as you mentioned before. the goal is to iron out all the finer details. there is so much at play here. there's no way they're going to be able to tackle everything. we've got titles, security, income. but then at the other end of the spectrum is what happens with harry's military roles, their pat najs in the uk. these are all so many intricate details that should have been ironed out before this statement was made public because now they're negotiating on a public platform and that becomes difficult for all parties. >> let's talk about why the details weren't ironed out before the announcement. talk to us about the timing and why they chose to make the announcement. >> the royal family knew that harry and meghan needed to do something different. there's no question this struggle throughout 2019. they were vocal about their

struggles towards the end of 2019. the royal family were not surprised by harry and meghan wanting to make a twist. what happened, "the sun" published a story about harry and meghan potentially moving to canada. they felt their hand was turned. suddenly they wanted to release things on their terms. they wanted to take control of the narrative. they released all the information as they understood it and they released a website, more importantly, that laid out all the terms. unfortunately, none of the terms were agreed upon by the royal family such as their funding and their security and how they saw their role unfolding in the years ahead. so, that's really where things got incredibly complicated. >> here's what i don't understand because on the one hand they say they want to step back from royal life and their royal roles and want to be financially independent. but they're doing things that seem contrary to that plan. they're trying to trademark the brand sussex royal. as we heard from max foster,

they want to keep the estate. they still want money from prince charles even though they didn't consult with him beforehand. is the british public going to get on board with this? >> that's the million dollar question. that's where it becomes difficult for the queen. at the end of the day, she's a grandmother and she wants to do right by her family. but as the head of state, she's responsible for answering to the british public. the public have been supportive of harry and meghan and they support harry and meghan wanting to step away from the royal family. what they don't like the idea is them continuing to be funded. it is difficult to say okay, you're going to fund harry and meghan's life while they're earning hundreds of millions of dollars from the endorsement deals and public speaking. there are going to be companies lining up to get harry and meghan on board. that's where it's difficult for harry and meghan because they need to make sure whatever income they generate comes from clean sources. there can't be any controversy

come back on them. >> do the british people think they should give up their titles. >> at the moment yes. it looks like the public is saying you're either royal or not. they want harry to be happy. they've been glad to see harry find his wife. we've watched harry grow up and anyone who was around when diana died remembers that pained little boy. yes, they're fully in support of harry and meghan being private citizens. but in that case, be private citizens. you can't be half royal as well. it'll be interesting to see what the summit comes up with on monday. >> the british press has been bad. even the famous wax museum is making the move to take out the statues from the royal family display. a columnist from "new york times" writes something saying it's the racism. i'm quoting from the first headline about her being almost straight out of compton, having

exotic dna. princess michael of kent ore an overtly racist brooch in the dutch's company. a bbc host compared the couple's newborn baby to a chimpanzee. there was the suggestion that avocado consumption is responsible for mass murder while her charity cookbook was seen as helping terrorists. has she been treated unfairly? >> when you read it like that, it's pretty horrifying. many women married into the family has been exposed to sexism and classism. but racism is insidious. she has been subjected to horrendous racism. some of it on an unconscious level, some overt. many say it's nonsense. she's had the same.

kate's bouquet was beautiful, freshic approximated from the garden. but meghan's was in danger of killing princess charlotte because charlotte was allergic to the flowers. i think there's no question that racism is at play and that's really devastating for the uk as a country because on the wedding day, meghan represented the royal family being propelled into the 21st century. suddenly england is a multicultural society being reflected in our first family. and yet here we are just over 600 days later and it's all come tumbling down. >> wow, and where it goes from here, we will not know for a little bit. thank you. only time will tell. always good to have you here. thank you. coming up mind boggling numbers on the australia bush fires. half a billion animals now impacted. up next, meet the tireless vets trying to save as many creatures as possible.

. we have this just into cnn. more than a dozen saudi service members will be expelled from the united states in the wake of last month's deadly shooting in pensacola, florida. what can you tell us about why this is happening. >> that's right. after this investigation began last month into the deadly shooting where three u.s. sailors were killed bay saudi national that was training at this florida air base, the fbi and the pentagon began a review into a number of saudi trainees

that were studying at u.s. military installations across the country. today we can report more than a dozen servicemen training at these bases will be expelled. we learned a number of them are accused of having some connection to an extremist movement and some of them as well for possessing child pornography. ana, we should note none of these saudi service members who are expected to be expelled are accused of being coconspirators are aiding this 21-year-old shooter in any way. the saudis have pledged their full support. the justice department and the fbi did not comment to us tonight, ana. >> tell us more about a letter the fbi apparently sent to apple this week to get more information from the shooter's phone. >> reporter: ana, that's another really interesting wrinkle in this investigation that we learned about in the past few days. on monday the top lawyer for the fbi sent a letter to apple requesting the tech company's help in bypassing the pass go

ahead on one of the shooter's -- two of the shooters' iphones. we learned this shooter a 21-year-old saudi arabia trainee has two iphones with him as he attacked the base last month. one of them he left in the car, a second he took in with him and is believed to have shot, which has le led investigators to believe there may be information on that phone. we reported at the time this saudi service member accused of killing the three americans was believed to have some type of extremist radicalization. investigators want to learn more about what his connections potentially could have been to these radical movements. that's why they requested help from apple. it's a hark eng back to this standoff between fbi and apple at the time after apple refused to unlock the iphone that belonged to a terrorist who killed over a dozen people at a

holiday party in san bernardino, california. the fbi actually took apple to court in that situation and it was resolved only at the last minute when the fbi was able to get a third-party company to unlock that iphone. ana, it appears we may be in the first opening steps of a similar situation playing out here regarding two iphones belonging to the saudi military member who attacked the base last month. >> wow, lots in there you wrapped in. thank you, david, for that reporting. just to recap the headline, there are more than a dozen saudi as far as members who will be expelled from the united states in the wake of that deadly shooting last month in pensacola at the air base there. >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. you're live in the cnn no room. i'm ana cabrera in new york. topping this hour with breaking news, a brand-new snapshot about how voters in iowa feel about
