tv   CNN Newsroom Live  CNN  June 7, 2022 1:00am-2:00am PDT

1:00 am
a warm welcome to our viewers joining us in united states and around the world. i'm max foster in london. just ahead -- >> as a government we can move on and focus on the stuff that i think really matters. >> whatever they want to do, i'm open to doing something that makes sense. >> we've never seen this many senators, republican senators, come to the table. i think it is put up or shut up time. >> they have an obligation to uncover everything that led up
1:01 am
to that day including all the violence and chaos that happened in this building behind me. >> the idea that all of this was just a demonstration that got a little bit out of control is absurd. >> live from london, this is cnn newsroom with max foster. >> it is tuesday, june 7, boris johnson is clinging to his leadership after a closer than expected confidence vote in parliament. uk lawmakers are angry that the prime minister attended numerous parties while the rest of the country was under covid lockdown. mr. johnson will meet his cabinet today to lay out his vision, he says he wants to continue delivering on the issues that matter to british people. >> i'm grateful to colleagues, i'm grateful for the support they have given me. of course i understand what we
1:02 am
need to do now is come together as a government, as a party, and that is exactly what we can now do. >> but it won't be that easy for the prime minister who only has a year to turn around his declining popularity, if that. downing street is now hoping to move on from the partygate scandal and tame rising inflation. >> i can report -- >> reporter: this is the moment boris johnson's future as the uk's prime minister hung in the balance. but the scale tipped his way. >> the vote in favor of having confidence in boris johnson was 211 votes and the vote against was 148 votes. >> reporter: boris johnson survived the vote, but just barely. 148 mps wanted him out, dangerously close to a majority. a damning result even worse than his predecessor theresa may got in 2018. she also survived a confidence
1:03 am
vote but ruling britain without the support of her own party proved mission impossible. she ended up resigning just a few months later. nevertheless, boris johnson said the result was a sign to move on and he shun away from the idea of a snap election. >> very good result for politics and for the country. just in this sense, it is a convincing result and what it means is that as a government, we can move on and focus on the stuff that i think really matters. >> reporter: but an opposition leader offering a harsher read into the vote. >> the british public are fed up, fed up, with a prime minister who promises big but never delivers, conservative mps made their choice tonight. they have ignored the british public. >> reporter: polls showing a majority of brits agreed that boris johnson should resign over
1:04 am
the so-called partygate. downing street gatherings at the height of the pandemic and lockdowns. if theresa may's fate is anything to go by, boris might not see his term to its end. with his future as prime minister uncertain, the question of who might take his place is already in the air. two of the three names circling as possible replacements are from johnson's own cabinet. and the third option could be jeremy hunt, former foreign secretary who voted against boris in the confidence vote. the prime minister may have survived another day, but not unscathed. the question now, how badly wounded is he, how will this disguised defeat shake his own party and just how long will he last. boris sanchez is live at 10 downing street. extraordinary to see this decline considering this huge victory he had at the last
1:05 am
election and now 40% of his own party is, you know, rebelling against him. >> reporter: that's right, max, and many of those same mps are saying this has been a squandered opportunity and the toxicity of the handling of the partygate crisis and boris johnson's own participation in some parties at the height of the pandemic is just too much to face their constituents on and 41% of them say they no longer have confidence in his leadership and they don't think that he is the right person to lead this party into the next election which has to think called in 2024. boris johnson appeared to rule out the prospect of trying to hold a snap election but the issue is for now that he has already had this vote of confidence and has surpassed had challenge in the immediacy, he can't technically face another one within one year to come.
1:06 am
but we're already starting to see some of the big rebellious figures on the back benches saying that we could change the rules for that and that is when conservative prime ministers start to get into district territory. that is what happened to theresa may. she actually won more support than boris johnson got in this no-confidence vote yesterday evening. but despite that, she had to resign six months later. boris johnson's showing last night was the worst we've seen by a sitting conservative prime minister in about 30, 40 years. even margaret thatcher managed to muster a little more support when she faced the last few day of her leadership and she had to resign two days after a no-confidence vote. we have a cabinet meeting set to take place this about 25 minutes from now. ahead of that, boris johnson has issued a statement saying that he will be rallying the troops to try to make sure that they focus on the priorities of the british people now and get this leadership issue out of the way, that means more investment for
1:07 am
the health system, more investment for policing and also big measures to try to tackle the precipitous rise in the cost of living. >> time to move on. let's see if he can manage that. nina, thank you. now in the coming hours u.s. senators are expected to meet to discuss gun control measures. chuck schumer says he wants a deal this week. 6 60 votes are needed to pass major legislation. democrats need 10 of the 50 republicans to say yes to pass gun safety measures. many conservatives say that they view the issue as a slippery slope to giving up constitutionally protected rights. but one republican senator said there is room for tougher gun laws. >> there is no one thing that will prevent mass killings. a determined criminal is going to be able to eventually get a gun. i understand that. but that doesn't mean that there is nothing we can do to make it
1:08 am
harder for that person to get a gun. >> one democratic senator says the small bipartisan group negotiating the issue is making progress but there is still more work do. manu raju has the latest from washington. >> reporter: tuesday could be a critical day on capitol hill as senate republicans will meet for the first time since bipartisan talks have taken place to put together a package to deal with the growing number of massacres, deadly massacres induced by gun violence over the last several days, really these past several months. and republicans are engaging in these talks, but can there be a deal that will reach 60 votes in order to overcome a gop-led filibuster? but talks have centered around a handful of issues dealing with state red flag laws in order to give authorities some power to take away firearms from individuals who are deemed a risk, dealing with mental health issues as well as school
1:09 am
security provisions. potentially also changing the criminal background system. now, one issue that appears likely not to get included in this proposal is to raise the age of purchasing semi automatic rifles from 18 to 21. that is something that republican senators are resisting at the moment. instead they are saying that they are open to enhancing the background check system so individuals can have their juvenile records scoured as part of the background check process, something that does not currently happen under the current system. so these issues still being discussed, still uncertain whether they can get there. while there is some optimism, some uncertainty and even some democrats say it won't go far enough to deal with the problems signaling that they could support something that they view as essentially window dressing but suggesting that it could be at least one step towards dealing with the problem all across the country but the question is can they get there. that is what will be determined
1:10 am
starting on tuesday as republicans decide whether or not this is something that they can get behind. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. after another weekend of blood shed, the u.s. is on track for the worst year of mass shootings on record. the nonprofit gun violence archive says there has been at least 246 mass shootings in 2022. according to a cnn tally, at least 17 people have been killed, more than -- at least 13 mass shootings since friday. the call for lawmakers to take action is louder than ever with even the most conservative democrats saying they support the age to buy semi automatic weapons like the one use the in uvalde and many other mass shootings. >> two things that could have prevented this, an age requirement would have prevented an 18-year-old and basically a red flag law that is basically intended to try to help a person get some mental help. >> do you think raising the age from 18 to 21 for all gun
1:11 am
purchases? >> that is where it is everything except for rifles and long guns right now. or if it is just for the high capacity weapons. whatever they want to do, i'm open to doing something that makes sense. >> we've never seen this many senators, republican senators, come to the table. i think that they have been impacted by the shock of what has happened in buffalo and uvalde, but also they are hearing the american people say to them as my constituents have said to me again and again over these past days, please do something. and i think that it is put up or shut up time for them. they realize that they will be held accountable and many of their colleagues will be if they don't do something real and meaningful. not just face-saving or window dressing, but real progress. the elementary school shooting in texas may have pushed some u.s. lawmakers to act, but the community needs more than new laws, it needs
1:12 am
time to heal. a teacher who survived the shooting is opening up about his experience on the day of the horrific attack. which none of his students survived. omar jimenez reports. >> reporter: it has been just about two weeks since the shooting at robb elementary school and we continue to hear stories about what happened during those horrific moments. this time from a teacher, he was shot twice inside one of those classrooms as many of his students would later be killed. take a listen. >> started asking out loud, what is going on. and i said i don't know what is going on. but let's go ahead and get under the table, get under the table and act like you're asleep. as they were doing that and i was gathering them under the table and told them to act like they were going to sleep, about the time when i turned around
1:13 am
and saw him standing there. one of the students from the next door classroom was saying officer, we're in here, we're in here. and then -- but they had already left. and he got out from behind my desk and he walked over there and he shot over there again. >> reporter: reyes is expected to be okay, but as he wrote on facebook, it will be a long journey ahead. the grandfather of another young girl who was shot that day but survived told me that she still hears the sounds of bullets and that she even still gets scared at the slightest sounds. it is part of why her parents are among the parents of four injured young survivors who are now suing the estate of the uvalde shooter alleging in part he intentionally injured these young children. stole their innocence and forever changed their lives.
1:14 am
the lawsuit went into even more detail reading in part each of these children have undergone extensive medical care, some multiple surgeries and they have all suffered unimaginable physical injuries and emotional trauma. this joins a series of legal efforts that we've seen from the parents of survivors and survivors themselves to at least begin the process towards some form of accountability. max. the committee investigating the attack on the u.s. capitol is getting ready for big public hearings and multimedia presentation to show the american people what led up to scenes like this and how the riots unfolded. and newly revealed emails show shady dealings between the trump campaign and georgia republicans, but were there efforts to overturn the election results a crime?

email obtained by cnn says i must ask for your complete discretion in this process. your duties are imperative to ensure the end result. this is part of the justice department's investigation into fake electors in states trump lost and whether a scheme to organize them could be considered a crime. the january 6 committee also had copies of the email and so does a local georgia district attorney's office which has seated its own grand jury to investigate trump's attempts to overturn the election. the trump campaign and georgia republican party did not respond to requests for comment. there are new developments in the investigation of the u.s. capitol attack.
1:20 am
the justice department is charging leaders of a far right extremist group that working together to intimidate members of congress and law enforcement, evan perez has more on this story. >> reporter: the justice department charged head of the proud boys and four others with a addition is the a addition issues conspiracy. prosecutors alleging that they tried to use force to try to stop the presidential transfer power. somewhere charges are also being brought against the oathkeepers for their role in the january 6 riot. the new court documents from the justice department appear to show how they were using the help of cooperators from inside the proud boys organization to go after the other leaders of the group.
1:21 am
prosecutors cite text messages from members around the country which they say show the group was plotting to in-timtimidate members of congress. evan perez, cnn, washington. and the house committee announced the date of its second public hearing, it will take place monday of next week just a few days after the first hearing. ryan nobles explains why making all this public is so important for that committee. the january 6 select committee is certainly concerned that lot of american's opinions have already been decided, that there isn't a lot of convincing left to do, but they still feel that they have an obligation to uncover everything that led up to that day including all the violence and chaos that happened in this building behind me and then all of the different things that were happening leading up to january 6 that brought the big crowds here, made them angry and led to that riot. and to that end, they believe
1:22 am
that this first hearing that will take place thursday night in primetime will be covered by all the major news networks, needs to be a story, a narrative that can be told through a multimedia presentation that will keep viewers' attention, allow them to see bit by bit point by point and connect all these dots as to exactly what happened leading up to january 6 and on the day itself. and to that end, they brought in a former president of abc news to help with the production of this television and multimedia event to help meet that goal of trying to connect with the american people. >> a democratic member of the committee says the panel has uncovered evidence of concerted planning and premeditative acbeing a activity and that the idea that it was a spontaneous demonstration is absurd. and in the battle for eastern ukraine, russian forces appear to be stepping up attacks
1:23 am
in the donetsk and luhansk regions. the area is currently controlled by russian-backed separatists who blame ukraine for a missile strike to the city but ukraine says high scit is russia's strit are hampering the city. one person was killed in attacks on sunday in a town west of severdonetsk. and a city that remains a target in the east. fierce fighting has raged there for week leaving thousands trapped inside and leveling homes and businesses across the city. and cnn is covering this story from every angle for you. clare sebastian here in london, but first salma abdelaziz is live in kyiv for us. difficult to get information on this, isn't it, because we're relying on basically officials in the region. >> reporter: absolutely. ukrainian officials telling us that the situation on the ground
1:24 am
this sever desk is changing hour by hour. that is a debattleground right now where fees fighting is going on. last week ukrainian forces conceded that the city was 80% under russian control and it looked on the verge of falling. yesterday we heard ukraine forces were able to push back and get control of up to 50% on the city. but the situation on the ground constantly changing. president zelenskyy in his nightly address say ukrainian forces are holding their ground. take a listen. >> translator: our heros do not give up positions in severdonetsk. fierce street fighting continues. but it is the 103rd day of the war and the ukrainian donbas stands. it stands strong. >> reporter: now, as you heard there, max, ukrainian defenders still trying to hold that grounds. but why are we talking about severdonetsk, why is it a key city in consider it the gateway
1:25 am
to kramatorsk, that is of course the last stronghold for ukrainian troops in the luhansk region, a major key victory if russians are able to enter that, a major step toward vladimir putin's goal of trying to take control of the donbas region. so this is critical for ukrainian defenders to continue to hold their ground. but both sides are draining serious resources. ukrainian officials tell us that an incredible amount of resources are being trained, that is troops, artillery, resources, equipment by russian forces as they try to bombard the main access route into severdonetsk. and of course civilians trapped in the middle, 15,000 people still in severdonetsk, ukrainian police trying to pull them out, but again the main access road heavily being shelled. so a conflict is grinding into a street to street battle, an hour by hour change. what could turn the tide here for ukrainian forces is those key long range weapons the united states, the uk promising
1:26 am
those weapons but they could still be weeks away. >> salma, thank you for joining us from kyiv. moscow threatening to retaliate against american news organizations over what it claims restrictions the u.s. has placed on russian journalists. a spokesperson from russia made comments during a meeting with journalists from mull otiple outlets including cnn. clare, what happened in that meeting? >> yes, american journalists from cnn, abc, various outlets were summoned and threatened with what the foreign ministry spokeswoman said would be retaliation for restrictions being placed on russian journalists in the u.s. she wasn't very specific about those restrictions, she said she was talking about visas, broadcasting banking, unblocking on social media, things like that. it is related most likely to the sanctionses that the u.s. placed on three russian tv networks, state owned tv networks, back in
1:27 am
may. we don't know specifically what kinds of restrictions are on russian journalists in the u.s. but she said unless the russian journalists were taken off the restrictions, they would be subject to the same measures. so this is not about the very restrictive russian mall that russia passed in march. she is not alleging any violations of that. she is saying because of restrictions back in their home country placed on russian journalists, russia could retaliate. state department called it a full assault on media, freedom of access and the truth. >> so what is likely to happen to the u.s. journalists in russia? there are already restrictions on them, these new laws that came into effect which our reporters are very aware of. >> yeah, they are already subject to the very strict russian control of information. the law passed in march criminalizing even mentioning
1:28 am
the word war. and so that could have a prison sentence of up to 15 years. i think what this means for certainly for u.s. media operating in russia, we're not looking at bureau closures or, you know, visas being revoked. but it is getting harder and that is getting more likely. we know russia has done this in the past. credentials revoked even before the war. there is a bill that hasn't been turned in to law yet that would sort of enshrine in the law retaliation against western media companies for operating in russia for actions against russian journalists in what russia calls unfriendly countries. >> thank you. and still ahead, he is down but not out. boris johnson hopes to recover from a confidence vote. it was too close for comfort. plus the white house tries to explain its mixed messages on

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." let me bring you up-to-date with the stories we're following. u.s. deputy secretary of state wendy sherman is warning there would be a swift and forceful response if north korea was to carry out a nuclear test. this is after meeting with south korea kra koreaian officials in seoul. u.s. lawmakers are expected to meet to discuss gun policy measures. they are making progress but still more work do. this is ois as the u.s. is on t
1:33 am
to have its worst year in mass shootings ever. boris johnson is proving once again to be the most political escape artists, he has survived a close vote 211-148 votes of no confidence. the prime minister tried to put a positive spin on the vote calling it a convincing result. and he plans to move on and focus on the things that are important to uk citizens. >> what this gives us is the opportunity to put behind us all the stuff that i know that the media have quite properly wanted to focus on for a long time, to do our job which is to focus on the stuff that i think the public actually want us to be talking about, which is what we are doing to help the people in this country and all the things
1:34 am
we're doing to take this country forward. >> joining me now is freddie gray, deputy editor of the spectator. freddie, explain how bad this was for boris johnson. he is clearly very wounded and there are still those reb els wo want to finish him off. that could potentially still happen, couldn't it? >> yes, i think it really could. i think it was pretty bad. it wasn't a disaster, he doesn't lose, but it was higher as i understand it than team boris was thinking. so it is quite a serious wound and i think potentially it could be fatal if you look historically, leaders who have those types of votes of confidence go against them or go that narrowly for them don't survive very long. thatcher didn't survive very long, theresa may didn't survive very long after similar votes. so i think it is looking pretty bad. you cakcan't ever put anything t
1:35 am
boris johnson because he is the ultimate escape artist as you suggested. but there is a broader crisis, an economic crisis that will be very hard for him to turn the ship around, turn his government around when he is facing this bigger economic crisis on top of the partygate scandal and lingering resentments over that. >> he's effectively protected under the rules, for another year there can't be another confidence vote, but could that change if a serious contender comes in and convinces those conservative lawmakers that that person is a better option, could the system change to allow another election of a leader in the next year? >> well, the rules are typically british in that that they are wonderful arcane. very few understand how it could work and it could always change. so, yes, it could change. i think there have been
1:36 am
suggestions in higher circles that it might change and there is certainly a large enough chunk of the tory party that don't like boris. he is the option that wins and that is why he became leader. but tory mps have never been comfortable with him, he's never been popular. he is similar in that way to trump in america, that the party doesn't like him but they can see that he works with the electorate. >> isn't that what has changed, the polls now very negative toward boris johnson. we saw how whenever he turned up at a jubilee event, he was booed. so isn't this the turning point where the public have gone against him and that is less reason for the mps to keep him in office? >> that is exactly what is going on, exactly what a lot think. but you have to think who comes after boris and is there a credibly popular figure in the
1:37 am
tory front ranks. i don't see one. and i think that that is the problem. whenever there has been a crisis in leadership in the past, there has usually been an obvious waiting in the wings. there isn't one now i don't think. there are certainly people who would like to be. certainly lots of people willing to stab boris in the back in order to become leader. but are they -- will they be able to command popular majorities across the country, i think that that is extremely doubtful. and that leads us to the broader crisis of leadership generally, not just in britain, but worldwide. >> is there the potential for mps to try to finden an outsid? that is what happened with david cameron, he wasn't a frontrunner to begin with and he was sort of plucked out of obscurity. is there an option for them, any sort of campaign to do that? >> there is certainly little
1:38 am
cam campaign, 20:1 according to some book makers right now. there is a surprising figure that i think some people like. it is responsible, but the mini campaigns, i don't think that -- the more obvious candidates, je jeremy hunt, possibly ben wallace, they are well established but i think it is fair to say membership wouldn't be comfortable with them. >> freddie gray, thank you very much. it will be a roller coaster the next few months. coming up on "newsroom," the southwestern u.s. is dealing with record-breaking heat. >> and hottest temperatures of 2022 upon us across the southwestern u.s. looking at temperatures up to 115 in a few spots, as many as

we just don't believe dictators should be invited so we don't regret that and we will -- the president will stand by his principle. >> white house press secretary explaining why the u.s. did not invite leaders of venezuela or cuba to the summit in los angeles. but it seems not all dictators are created equal because we're hearing that the u.s. president is getting ready for an official visit to saudi arabia next month. and that would mean a meeting with the powerful crown prince. the white house says if engaging with a foreign leader is in the best interests of the american people, then president biden will do it. last year his administration called for u.s./saudirecalibrate department says there is progress. >> i think what we've seen over the course the past 16 months
1:43 am
with our saudi partners compared to where we were in january of last year to where we are now just a few days after the humanitarian truce was extended in yemen speaks to the progress that we've seen. it is a relationship that is now on steady footing. >> oil could be a talking point in that meeting. saudi arabia is opec's largest producer and last week opec agreed to pump more oil as russian production drops. supply shortages have pushed gas prices to record highs around the world including in the u.s. americans are now paying $4.87 at the pump for a gallon of gas. that is up 25 cents in just the last week. make no mistake, they are feeling it. >> i feel that our friends in europe are taking the brunt of all this. to complain about a few dollars more without thinking about what the rest of the world is going through and the sacrifices that
1:44 am
people in other nations are making and they are really getting hit by high energy costs, i say suck it up, drive less, conserve in other ways. >> i don't know when these prices are going down. it is driving me crazy. i'm looking at this, $5.99, are you serious? but what can you do? you drive the car, you got to put gas in the car. >> in addition to high gas prices the biden administration is continuing to grappling with the ongoing baby formula shortage. the white house has just provided a progress report on the state of the nation's supply. the most recent data shows an in--stock rate of 74%. over the past several weeks rates were around 79 pfr% to 81. and before the recall, rates were between 88% and 90%. turning now to weather across the u.s. we're expecting severe but scattered storms in the midwest and scorching
1:45 am
temperatures out west. and pedram javaheri has the forecast. good morning, pedram. >> good morning, max. some things never change when it comes to the month of june across the central united states. severe weather yet again and we have at least an enhanced risk there across portions of nebraska, northern kansas where we do have a severe thunderstorm threat that could potentially produce a couple tornadoes. but generally the strong severe gusts and large hail become the primary threats. we've had upwards of 100 plus severe weather reports. and it is split between hail and went damage reports. and 2.75 inches in kansas, that is the size of a ball. 4 inches is the size of a softball diameter hail stone falling out of the skies. incredible storm across that region. the severe weather threat
1:46 am
doesn't want to shift out farther to the east. level one concern there generally for winds and hail, expands even across the northeast going into the afternoon 12 hours of wednesday. but there are concerns of localized flooding, heavy rainfall. and could include some larger cities say around kansas city, st. louis, nashville, memphis could see a flooding threat. and southwest, big time heat watches there, some 50 plus record temperatures possible, about 10 million americans across the southwest dealing with these temperatures that are july-like in nature getting up close to 115 degrees across the southwest this weekend. meanwhile disturbing new report from oxfam outlines the surging price of climate change and how the world is failing to keep up from it. their report says from the year 2000 to 2002, extreme
