live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster. >> a warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world. i'm maxes for s foster. coming up, a congressional committee is unveiling a trove of devastating new details with

the january 6 u.s. capitol riot. >> we don't swear an oath to an individual or a political party. we take our oath to defend the united states constitution. >> we have a breach at the capitol. >> our work must do much more than just look back. the cause of our democracy remains in danger, conspiracy to fraught the will of the people is not over. >> it is friday, june 10th, 4:00 a.m. in washington where the house select committee investigating the capitol riot says january 6 was the cull men nation of an attempted coup by donald trump and his supporters. republican vice chair liz cheney said trump lit the flame for the attack and she explained how the former president and his aides knowingly spread lies that the

2020 election was stolen. here is trump's daughter, ivanka. >> how did that affect your perspective about the election when attorney general barr made that statement? >> it affected my perspective. i respect attorney general barr. so i accepted what he was saying. >> and bennie thompson said that trump encouraged the riot tors and he fears that it could happen again. >> our work must do much more than just look backwards. because of our democracy remains in danger, the conspiracy to fraught the will of the people is not over. there are those in this audience who thirst for power but have no love or respect for what makes america great, devotion to the constitution. allegiance to the rule of law.

a shared journey to build a more perfect union. >> liz cheney says trump corrupted state officials to overattorney the election and she delivered a message to those who still support him. >> in our country we don't swear an oath to an individual or a political party. we take our oath to defend the united states' constitution. and that oath must mean something. tonight i say this to my republican colleagues who are defending the indefensible. there will come a day when donald trump is gone. but your dishonor will remain. >> the committee also played a 12 minute video showing some of the most violent scenes from that day .

>> they breached the line. we need backup. >> more now from manu raju. >> reporter: over the course of two hours in a primetime hearing, the january 6 select committee for the first time revealed some new details about their investigation that has been going on for the better half of the past year. more than 1,000 witnesses have been interviewed, hundreds of thousands of pages of documents have been obtained. we got a glimpse of some of the things that they found and some of the witness interviews that they had including members of donald trump's inner circle such as his daughter, her husband, jared kushner, and as well as his former attorney general bill barr. iv ivanka trump indicating that the

claims of fraud simply were not true. and barr called it b.s. and ivanka said that she believed barr. and donald trump talked about that repeatedly according to the testimony shown in these video excerpts by liz cheney. and they also detailed new revelations including that there was some republicans in the house who were concerned about their role on january 6th and actually asked donald trump for pardons of their actions. now, she said that one of those was congressman scott perry, he is a conservative from pennsylvania. others as well. but they would not detail members of the committee did not say who those other members were. now, the committee also showed new footage of just how harrowing an experience it was that day on january 6, all the violence that occurred, the deadly massacre that occurred in the capitol and heard testimony from a documentarian who was close to the proud boys as well as one officer who was injured

in responding to the deadly events of that day. now, this is the first of a number of hearings that will take place through the course of this month including three next week and ultimately the goal of this committee the members say is to show that donald trump was at the center of what they call a conspiracy to overturn the elections, mount a coup of sorts and try to stay in power despite what actually happened on november 2020. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. and liz cheney alleged that donald trump engaged in a seven part plan to overturn the election and stop the transition of power. the committee source laying out the seven points to cnn. and here they are. president trump engaged in a massive effort to spread false and fraudulent information to the public claiming the 2020 election was stolen from him trump corruptly planned for replace the acting attorney general so that the doj would

support his fake election claims. brush pressured mike pence to refuse to count electoral votes. trump pressured state officials and lems lto change the results. and he pressured electors to create false states. and he assembled a violent mob and directed them to march on the capitol and as the violence was under way, trump ignored multiple pleas for assistance and failed to take immediate action to stop the violence and instruct his supporters to leave. we spoke earlier with the president of the global policy institute at loyola marymount university. and we asked him what stood out about the hearings. >> there are several takeaways that i think are important. one is the incredible power of liz cheney's commentary. she spoke for about 30 minutes

and she very carefully meticulously used team trump players from attorney general barr to ivanka trump to eviscerate the president's case. and so she took piece by piece the case against the president using the president's own team and their words to undermine the president. that was powerful. the other thing was to actually see attorney general barr, the tape of him, and what he said to the president. that i won't use the words but basically that there was no fraud, that it is concocted, that he didn't know what he was talking about. those stood out to me as incredibly powerful moments. >> and now the first witness to testify at thursday's hearing was caroline edwards, a u.s. capitol police officer with first responder units. video was played showing edwards under attack. we'll show you part of it, but

it includes profanity and disturbing images. >> usa, usa, usa! >> edwards described what she called hours of hand to hand combat. she was the first capitol hill officer injured that day and suffered a traumatic brain injury in the attack. >> we started grappling over the bike racks. i felt the bike rack come on top of my head and i was pushed backwards and my foot caught the stair behind me and my chin hit the handrail and then i -- at that point i had blacked out, but the back of my head clipped the concrete stairs behind me. >> edwards testified that she

returned to the mayhem after she regained consciousness. she said that she was pepper sprayed and teargassed by rioters later that day. video shown by the committee laid bare the attack on the u.s. capitol. steve moore is a retired special agent with the fbi and he said the videos reveal the magnitude of what happened on january 6th. >> it was pretty devastating the type of mob action that went in there. and i think people sometimes don't realize what goes on during these riots and who the victims are even if you don't see these big death tolls or something. if you have people who are wounded, if you lose police officers, there were deaths in this, and it is important to show the magnitude of it. >> donald trump quickly responded to the hearing with insults. he called the committee members political hacks and complained

had there were no positive testimonies and he again repeated his big lie about election fraud and voting irregularities. he ended by saying our country is in such trouble. president biden is hosting summit of americans in los angeles and said he hadn't had time to watch the hearing but he offered thoughts about the events of january 6 and the hearing. and here he is. >> i think it was a clear flagrant violation of the constitution. i think these guys and women broke the law, tried to turn around result of an election. and there was a lot of questions who is responsible, who is involved. i'm not going to make a judgment on that, but want you to know that probably a lot of americans will be seeing for the first time some of the detail. >> reaction to the hearing is coming in from across the political spectrum. former acting white house chief of staff mick mulvaney tweeted the video was stunning and more powerful than anything bennie or

liz said. and a former democrat said that he was furious by what he saw and it will happen again if we don't do anything about it. and washington state democrat jayapal said i thought it was powerful because it put in the context of the struggles of the united states has been through since our earliest days and people standing up for country over party. i don't think that this is going to change the minds of my colleagues. unfortunately, i believe many of them know that the election wasn't stolen. and then there was this, donald trump jr. tweeting democrats hate america and they hate you. the former president's eldest son saying democrats want to distract you with their sham partisan b.s. and republican elyse take fan nick says democrats are shamelessly trying to change the narrative with their witch hunt. house republicans are committed to the issues that matter to

americans. and the twitter account posted nancy pelosi's sham political witch hunt is doctoring evidence and we're not even an hour into will this charade. these people are sick. the select committee is planning six more hearings to lay out their case that trump was to blame for the capitol riots. the next one is on monday and another prime team hearing scheduled for thursday june 23. coming up, horrific new details on the school shooting in uvalde, texas. what police officers knew before confronting the gunman, when we come back. plus yet another mass shooting in america. it happened in a factory in maryland. details after the break.

january 6 committee investigating the attack on the capitol has made the most compelling case yesterday that former president trump con konko cobbed a conspiracy to overturn the election. the chair told vit olence was n accident tlarks it represented his last stand to hold the

power. the committee delivered compelling details not heard before. and this was not a peaceful proceed at the time, it was a 34 methodically planned event. and the vice chair explained that key members tried to rein him in and that they knew the election was not stolen. >> white house staff knew president trump was willing to entertain and use conspiracy theories to achieve his ends. they knew the president needed to be cut off from all of those who had encouraged him. they knew that president donald trump was too dangerous to be left alone. at least until he left office on january 20th. these are important facts for congress and the american people to understand fully. when a president fails to take the steps necessary to preserve our union, or, worse, causes a constitutional crisis, we're in

a moment of maximum danger for our republic. >> new details are emerging about the time line of the school shooting in uvalde, texas and how law enforcement responded. the man at the center of the controversy the school police chief pete arredondo, in an interview with texas tribune, arredondo defends the delay in confronting the gunman. he said that he left his radio silent outside the school because he believed carrying them would slow him down. without those radios, arredondo said that he was not aware of 911 calls being made about the shooting. he told the paper he never considered himself the scene's incident commander but he is proud of his response. meanwhile the "new york times" is reporting what officials discussed before they finally confronted the gunman. omar jimenez has details from uvalde. >> reporter: law enforcement was aware there were injured individuals alive inside this classroom before deciding to

breach. that is according to a "new york times"s review of investigative documents and videos. i want to read you some of the high points again according to the times. one, people are going to ask why we're taking so long. law enforcement official on the scene of the shooting could be heard saying according to a "times" review of body camera transcripts, separately, we're trying to preserve the rest of the life part of the transcript reads. now, by our time line, it is around 11:44 in the morning that day that officers first asked for backup. and then 20 minutes later as many as 19 officers were in that hallway. around 12:30, again, a few minutes later after that, pete arredondo the school chief here is heard saying, according to the "times," we're ready to breach, but that door is locked. separately, one officer is heard saying if there is kids in there, we need to go in there. according to the "times."

it wasn't until 20 minutes after that, at 12:50 p.m., that officers used a key from a janitor to breach this room and shoot this suspect. but again, officers were aware that there were injured individuals and a law enforcement official said according to the "times" people are going to be asking why we're taking so long. and now multiple overlapping investigations later, that remains the central question. omar jimenez, cnn, uvalde. and police say a gunman opened fire on co-workers at a manufacturing plant in maryland killing three people. two other people were wounded including a state trooper. when police arrived, a shoot-out ensued which was heard on cellphone footage.

the wounded were treated at the hospital and released. the shooter was also wounded. a motive for the shooting isn't yet known. house speaker nancy pelosi says next week she will bring a senate approved bill boosting security for supreme court justices up for a vote. this comes after a man was arrested near brett kavanaugh's maryland home on wednesday. he was armed with a glock pistol, tactical knife, pepper spray and zip ties. the man told authorities that he had traveled from california. he has been charged with attempting to kidnap or murder a u.s. judge. house republicans have slammed democrats for not voting on the senate bill earlier. but democrats say that they want a broader bill that includes security for clerks and other staff. now, the fbi has arrested a michigan republican for governor in connection with the january 6th attack. ryan kelly is facing miss gdemer

charges. prosecutors say that he spent over an hour on capitol grounds allegedly filming the mob. kelly appeared in federal court in michigan on thursday and later released on bond. his campaign has not responded to cnn's request for comment. a man in georgia has been charged with the murder of a u.s. postal worker. federal prosecutors say that larry grogan shot asa woods jr. as he was delivering mail in august of last year. wood died in his postal vehicle. he had been a mail carrier for more than 20 year. no word of a possible motive. much more on the investigation into the january 6th capitol riot ahead. coming up, the leading republican on the select committee makes the case that trump's actions on that day were criminal. plus more than a year since the capitol riots, the fbi is still looking for a suspect who put pipe bombs around the democratic and republican committee offices.

details ahead.

the congressional investigation into the january 6 riot at the u.s. capitol is putting that day in much sharper focus as u.s. lawmakers begin laying out the facts that they uncovered. many of those riveting details have not been publicly disclosed before. the us house select committee is arresting that the insurrection was not simply a peaceful gathering that got out of hand, rather it was an attempted coup by donald trump's most militant supporters planned in advance and orchestrated by trump as he stubbornly refused to concede

the 2020 election, that even some of trump's closest associates testified they knew his claims of a rigged election were simply untrue. >> repeatedly told the president in no uncertain terms that i did not see evidence of fraud and that would have affected the outcome of the election. and frankly a year and a half later, i haven't seen anything to change my mind on that. >> how did that affect your perspective about the election when attorney general barr made that statement? >> it affected my perspective. i respect attorney general barr. so i accepted what he was saying. >> the committee plans to present its preliminary findings in a series of hearings this month. they outline what the committee's leading republican calls trump's seven part plan to overturn the election.

and she said some of his actions that day were criminal. take a listen. >> whatpresident trump demandede pence do was wrong and it was illegal. witnesses will explain how the former vice president and his staff informed president trump over and over again that what he was pressuring mike pence to do was illegal. the judge evaluated the facts and he reached the conclusion that president trump's efforts to pressure vice president pence to act illegally by refusing to count electoral votes likely violated two federal criminal statutes. in our final two june hearings, you will hear how president trump summoned a violent mob and directed them illegally to march on the united states capitol. >> comments like that or any of the evidence we're hearing so

far be heard to move the needle in a legal sense? well, earlier we asked a former u.s. attorney about the strength of the committee's case against donald trump. >> i think that it did, maybe it was designed to sort of put pressure on the doj. i have to say, as a lawyer, thinking about a prosecutor evaluating, there was a lot of trump spurring it on, a lot of trump ib nstigating, a lot of proud boys saying we were invited by trump. the real sort of punch line that you are looking for is an agreement, that would be that trump would have joined the conspiracy, agreed with them and then he took some act in concert with them. nevertheless, even without that agreement, just the mere fact of aiding and abetting if you are asking about lawyerly terms, the impairment of the 1/6 hearing itself, that is a crime. that is a serious one.

but generally i thought that they tried to draw the tie and the link between the riffraff on the ground and trump and might have done it in a way that at least in this first hearing doesn't quite stitch it up in the way that the department of justice prosecutor might be looking for. >> he went on to say the hearing shows how close the u.s. came to losing the hallmark of democracy, the peaceful transition of power. meanwhile the fbi is still investigating mysterious incident that happened the night before the capitol riots. officials say an unknown suspect planted several pipe bombs near the republican and democratic national committee headquarters in washington, d.c. brian 2todd has that story. >> reporter: while there is a significant amount of information out there on this person's movements and appearance on the night in question -- >> face mask, a gray hooded sweat hurt and black and light gray nike speed turf shoes with a yellow logo.

>> reporter: authorities still don't know who this person is or why they left pipe bombs outside the democratic and republican party headquarters the night before the capitol insurrection. what we do know is the suspect walked a nomadic path according to surveillance footage from the fbi which authorities say suggest they are not from the d.c. area. we know a dog walker walked right past the suspect. and we have information that according to the atlantic, the fbi has interviewed more than 900 people in this case and has even done analysis on the way the suspect walks, what we don't have is a name, a gender or any indication that this person is anywhere close to being caught even though authorities have been investigating for 17 months now. >> this is a mystery. frankly, we could use the public's help in solving it. they need to drop a dime as we used to say and let someone know what they think. >> reporter: former police chief doesn't think that the trail has gone cold. he and other law enforcement veterans believe the fbi is

still combing through the devices themselves, which officials say were made with galvanized pipe and homemade black powder and attached to egg timers. and they are analyzing other clues. >> looking for bomber signature, they are looking for any what we call trace evidence which is latent prints, hair, fibers, things that may tie together to match the device to a specific individual. >> reporter: the fbi has said the two bombs were placed near dnc and rnc headquarters between 7:30 and 8:30 p.m. just a few blocks from the capitol on january 5th. but weren't discovered until 1:00 p.m. on the 6th just as rioters were breaching the capitol. what we've learned in recent months is how close one bomb came to potentially harming incoming vice president kamala harris. sources told cnn harris' motorcade drove within a few yards of one of the bombs and she was inside the dnc office with one of the bombs just outside for almost two hours

before the device was found. >> these pipe bombs were viable devices that could have been detonated resulting in serious injury or death. >> reporter: despite what we know of the case, despite a reward of $100,000 information on the suspect, why hasn't the person been caught? >> i think the person was very carefully. sometimes it takes a few days and sometimes in this case it takes years in order to find the individual that perpetrated this act. >> reporter: the analysts we spoke to say there is also the possibility that the person may never be caught and that whoever the suspect is remains very dangerous. we reached out to the fbi to see if they could provide any updates on the case and there were no updates that the bureau could make public. brian todd, cnn, washington. ukraine is pushing back against russia's claim that it controls a key city in the east. next, a grueling battle for severdonetsk which ukraine says is far from settled. and then why iran is turning off surveillance cameras in its nuclear facilities. and what that means for whatever is left of the nuclear deal. ful.

#. a quick update on the latest developments out of ukraine. there is no sign of a letup in the brutal battle for the city of severdonetsk. ukraine says it is still holding on to about a third of the city and regional officials denying russia's claims that its offensive has succeeded. british intelligence says the city of mariupol could colura outbreak. and russia is struggling to provide the most basic of services in occupied territories including drinking water, phone and internet. salma abdelaziz is joining us from a suburb of kyiv. >> reporter: slightly. l absolutely. you really are seeing a tale of

two ukraines. i'm in an area of course thousand where ukrainians are trying to recuperate trying to recover what has been damaged and lost. but let's start with severdonetsk because right now president zelenskyy says the fate of the donbas and in many ways the fate of ukraine itself lies in that city, that is one of the last ukrainian strongholds in the region of luhansk, that is of course part of the donbas, part of the larger goal of president putin taking control of that region, trying to form a land bridge that connects mainland russia down to crimea. so occupying that territory is a key goal for moscow. and it appears that they are on the verge of accomplishing that mission. ukrainian forces are outmanned, outgunned. this is an artillery war, max and ukrainians tell us that they are running out of that all-important artillery. they have been pounded for weeks now by a military that is stronger, that has more weaponry, that has ground the

city into dust. they are fighting over this waste land, but it is an important place. it is really a competing time line over whether or not western weapons, western help can come in time to stop this inch by inch gain from russian forces. hard to imagine how the tide can change otherwise. they are waiting on long range weaponry that has been promised by the u.s. and the uk, that could take days if not weeks before it is actually on the ground. we'll wait to see what happens there. but it is simply -- if the fate of donbas is being determined there, that fate does not look good for the ukrainian side. back to where i am, this sub better, i'll walk you through because this is a suburb that was attacked of course by russian forces, struck by russian artillery. i'm outside a residential building that locals tell us was hit with artillery rounds, tank rounds. this was a suburb again occupied by russian forces where civilians were killed, their

bodies left strewn in the streets. now this is the moment when the people of kyiv, these volunteers, want to come in, recuperate, they want to take back the ruins if you will of the suburbs. you can see they are starting to clear this building here, they are cleaning it out, their hope is to try to accomplish some of these buildings, they want to accomplish some of the recovery efforts through the summer before winter and the rains begin. you are looking at a city, kyiv now, that is trying to find and regain what was lost during these russian forces. and you have the territories in the east where russian troops are taking more. >> salma there in kyiv, thank you. the biden administration is facing heavy criticism from some latin american leaders over its refusal to invite some countries to the summit of the americas. president biden told the summit the future of the western hemisphere should be a democratic one. some leaders said they wanted the meeting to include

representatives of autocratic nations such as venezuela and cuba. and with mr. biden watching the prime minister of belize called the exclusions incomprehensible. >> this summit belongs to all of the americas. it is therefore inexcusable that our countries of the americas are not here and the power of the summit diminished by their absence. it is incomprehensible that we isolate countries of the americas which have provided strong leadership and contributed to the hemisphere on the critical issues of our times. >> the u.s. president said the summit was off to a strong start despite what he called disagreements over participation. he also met with brazilian president jair bolsonaro who emphasized the need for reliable elections in his country. mr. bolsonaro has questioned the integrity of brazil's electoral system in the run-up to a

general election in october. in the coming hours defense secretary lloyd austin and his chinese counterpart will be meeting in singapore, this as tensions are growing over what washington sees as china's increasingly aggressive actions in the region. for more, i'm joined by cnn's oren liebermann. very sensitive trip, oren. >> reporter: it is very much so, especially because this will be the first meeting with defense secretary lloyd austin and his chinese counterpart. it is scheduled to start in just under an hour here, so especially on this first day of the shangri-la dialogue behind me, it is one of the key events. senior defense officials have made clear that one of the things that they are looking to move forward here are what they call guardrails between the u.s. and china as well as crisis communications mechanisms, not only at the highest levels of the military, but also at lower levels. for example operational theater level commanders between the u.s. and china. the real question, is it

possible to make progress here or does this become the u.s. and china essentially talking past each other. the u.s. has made it clear one of the issues it sees is china's agreeing assertiveness across the region using for example the recent interception over the past couple of weeks of chinese aircraft not only of australian surveillance aircraft but also canadian surveillance aircraft. they see it as china acting in an unsafe and even dangerous way. china essentially ignoring the skrichl criticism. and china sees the problem not just in terms of the action but the simple u.s. presence in the region they see as one of the origins of the problems tensions in the region. and that makes it difficult to make log. so we'll see what comes out of this meeting. hanging over all of this over the course of the past three months will of course be ukraine. and volodymyr zelenskyy is

scheduled to speak here tomorrow afternoon. he knows how to make headlines here and that will be one of the key issues that we look at as we move forward through this conference. >> oren, thank you. with the flip of a switch, iran is defying world power still hoping to keep tabs on its nuclear program. this week iran began deactivating security cameras installed in its nuclear facilities under the 2015 agreement. and the u.n. nuclear watchdog warns the move could deal a fatal blow to any hopes of salvaging that deal. let's bring in fred pleitgen who is live in moscow and an expert on this topic. it doesn't bode well for the deal frankly. >> reporter: no, it certainly doesn't. quite interesting to hear head of the iea saying that he believe this is could deal a fatal blow. but it doesn't appear as though the international community and the iae are there yet. he said that the cameras that they want to shut off hasn't happened yet or at least they

haven't shut most of them off yet. and the iranians for their part are saying that shut off two cameras because they had them operating on top of the things that they are obliged do under some of the nuclear treaties specifically the nonproliferation treaty. and so the iranians are saying that their nuclear program is still being monitored, 80% of the monitoring is still in place. but this is of course still a huge issue because right now also the efforts to revive the iran nuclear agreement are in really, really difficult waters at this point. two parties stooped talking sometime in march without even getting close to reaching some way to arrive the nuclear agreement. the u.s. says that all of this is very troubling. secretary of state antony blinken says he believes there is room for diplomacy. the u.s. still wants to return to the deal because the u.s. actually put the massive

sanctions on iran. however what we're seeing from the iranians, i've been looking quite closely this morning at some of the things in iranian media, especially the president ebrahim raisi claims that the iaea is criticizing something where they are trying to use force against iran, and iranians say that simply won't happen. they are saying that they are still in compliance with the iran nuclear greemagreement, buy also say that they could take away some of those things if the international community does not react to iran's demands. they want complete sanctions relief, not just the sanctions put back in place by the trump administration, but also some of the ones put in place on top of the ones that had been there some 1500 additional sanctions than the ones that the trump administration put in place anyway. max. >> fred, thank you for joining us from moscow. now from storms to floods to heat waves, several states across the u.s. are bracing for

bracing for possible severe weather. millions in the west are under

heat alert this is weekend while thunderstorms are threatening to bring fires, tornadoes and even flooding. derek van dam has more. >> that's right, max, we are monitoring the potential for severe weather once again today. this time across the lower mississippi river valley as well as the central gulf coast states. basically anywhere we've highlighted the shading of red, that is where we have an ongoing severe weather threat. in fact this is a line of thunderstorms that has originated across central portions of oklahoma and continues to advance south and east. you can see it impacting places like little rock to new orleans later this afternoon before exiting into the gulf of mexico. with it, the potential exists for strong damaging winds as well as large hail and we cannot rule out the potential of a tornado or two as well. the storm prediction center in fact has highlighted our greatest risk, that is a level three out of five where you see that shading of orange, this is an enhanced risk of severe storms, shreveport to jackson and just outside of little rock

with a slight risk highlighted with that shading of yellow all the way to the gulf coast states. so new orleans to pensacola. those two plaarticular location could see this line of thunderstorms move through by this afternoon and evening. some storms could produce locally heavy rainfall, 2 to 4 inches locally for some of these locations. that is why the national weather service has a flash flood watch in place for much of oklahoma into central arkansas. so turn around, don't drown, that is the national weather service slogan if you come across a flooded roadway. the other big story of course is the heat over the southwest, 37 million americans under excessive heat watches and warnings as well as advisories. this includes las vegas and phoenix. we have, get this, the potential to tie or shatter over 110 record high temperatures from the southwest extending eastward across texas through the court of the weekend, easily breaking triple digit heat from san antonio into albuquerque. max, back to you. >> thank you, derek.
