1:02 am
chilling details. and stuck in the middle was vice president mike pence, testimony showed that he came perilously close to being discovered and possibly killed as rioters ram pained through the capitol. committee members also zeroed in on the role of john eastman who happened the illegal scheme to thwart the 2020 election results and days later he sought a presidential pardon for his role. manu raju has our report. >> mike pence has betrayed the united states of america! >> reporter: the pressure cam baby was relentless. donald trump for months tried to get mike pence to do something no vice president has ever done. resdwreject the will of elector. right up to this heated phone call on the morning of january 6, just before pence was presiding over a joint session of congress to certify joe biden's victory. >> he called him a wimp. >> a different tone than i'd
1:03 am
heard him take with the vice president before. >> do you remember what he said your father called him? >> the p word. >> trump even revising his january 6 speech at a rally of his supporters to take aim at the vice president. >> mike pence is going to have to come through for us. and if he doesn't, that will be a sad day for our country. >> reporter: rioters echoing the president's remarks. >> i'm telling you, if pence cave caves, we'll drag [ bleep ] through the streets. >> the vice president's life was in danger. >> reporter: trump had been told repeatedly that pence had no authority to take such an unconstitutional action. >> was if your impression that the vice president had directly conveyed his position on these issues to the president not just to the world but directly to president trump?
1:04 am
>> many times. >> and he had been consistent in conveying his position to the president? >> very consistent. >> the committee focusing on the role of john eastman, who pushed the theory that the vice president could overturn joe biden's victory. >> all we are demanding of vice president pence is this afternoon at 1:00, he let the legislatures of the state look into this so we get to the bottom of it. >> reporter: privately white house officials were alarmed and pushed back on eastman. >> yeah, they thought he was crazy. i said are you out of your fing mind, you will cause riots in the streets. >> reporter: and even sean hannity sending these text messages to mark meadows saying i'm very worried about the next 48 hours. but as he was peddling the theory, eastman knew it was bogus bringing in october 2020 that nowhere does it suggest that the president of the senate gets to make the determination on his own. pen
1:05 am
pence's former counsel recalling this demand from eastman on january 5. >> what most surprised me about that meeting was that when mr. east man came in, he said i'm here to request that you reject the elector. he came in and expressed the request of that. >> reporter: and as trump and pens were privately sparring about the vice president's role, the white house issued a statement saying that he and the vice president were in total agreement that pence had the power to act. >> we're shocked and disappointed because whoever had written and put that statement out, it was categorically untrue. >> reporter: the message came from trump. >> he dictated most of it. >> reporter: as for eastman, he had this request he sent through rudy giuliani. >> his email stated i've decided that i should be on the pardon
1:06 am
list if that is still in the works. >> reporter: eastman refused to cooperate with january 6 investigators, even taking the fifth amendment. but there is still some interests in his interactions. namely between him and ginni thomas the wife of the supreme court justice clarence thomas, she is a conservative activist, she had pushed to overturn the election, she interacted with eastman via email. tomorrow thompson telling me that the committee has sent a letter to thomas asking her to testify before the committee. she herself had told a conservative news outlet earlier in the day that she is willing to clear up any misconceptions that the committee may have about her interactions. so that something perhaps could happen in the days ahead. manu raju, cnn, capitol hill. donald trump was, quote, pouring gasoline on the fire as the riot unfolded, that is how the former press secretary
1:07 am
describes trump's actions. and these never before seen photos were shown after rioters breached the capitol. here pence was looking at the vi video. trump asked the rioters to leave but not until hours after it began. he tweeted that pence didn't have the courage do what should have been done. >> it was that tweet that seemed to embolden rioters and send them into a frenzy. take a listen. >> he deserves to burn with the rest of them. >> this all escalated after what happened to pence. pence didn't do what we wanted. >> pence voted against trump and that is when we marched on the capitol. we've been shot with rubber bullets, tear gas. >> we just heard that mike pence is not going to reject any fraudulent electok ctoral votes!
1:08 am
the that's right. you heard it here first. mike pence has betrayed the united states of america. mike pence has betrayed this president and he has betrayed the people of the united states and we will never, ever forget. >> real simple. pence betrayed us. which apparently everybody knew he was going to and the president mentioned it like five times when he talked. you can go back and watch the president's video. >> this is our capitol. let's be respectful to it. 4 million people coming in, so -- we love the cops. >> only a matter of time. justice is coming. >> earlier cnn spoke with senior
1:09 am
political analyst ron brownstein, he said that the fact that both trump and eastman knew the i will lality of their actions yet proceeded anyway could prove important to the u.s. justice department. >> the lawyer for the vice president testified that at a meeting in the white house, john eastman admitted that his scheme was illegal, that it violated the erlector cal count act and yet donald trump continued to pressure the vice president to pursue the scheme. so this goes -- this reinforces the evidence from the first two hearings of bill barr and others telling him that he lost the election. and proceeding down this path anyway. both of them i think are critical from a criminal and legal point of view for the former president, establishing his state of mind that he knew what he was doing was not only wrong but illegal and he continued to do it anyway. seems like a very important
1:10 am
threshold in terms of the justice department consideration whether to charge him with the various crimes that are out there. >> partner of a slain capitol police officer is raising questions about the department and its chief. police said it did not find any suspicious about the tour of the capitol given by republican congressman barry loudermilk on january 5, the day before the deadly riot. surveillance footage shows a man taking extensive pictures of tunnels and hallways inside the capitol and a different video released by the committee this week shows him screaming threats at democratic leaders outside either capitol the next day. the congressman says that the police investigation closes the issue. partner of capitol police officer brian sicknick who died after january 6th slammed the capitol police chief. >> i have to say i'm very unhappy, i'm disappointed with the capitol police leadership.
1:11 am
he is a law enforcement officer first. if he wants to play politics, he needs to run for office. he is a law enforcement officer first. >> two more hearings are next week on tuesday and thursday. both start at 1:00 p.m. washington time, that is 6:00 in the evening here in london. all eyes are on the global markets as well after the u.s. federal reserve announced its largest interest rate hike in decades in an attempt to tame soaring inflation. don't let the smiles and cheers fool you know. thursday was a rough day for stocks around the globe. the dow drop the more than 740 points falling below the 30,000 benchmark, its lowest level in a year. meanwhile other central banks are following the fed's lead and making moves to combat rising prices. the bank of england raised its interest rate by 5 basis points to 1.25%.
1:12 am
and that is the fifth hike since december. the swiss national bank also raised rates for the first time in 15 years. surprising many economists. and hong kong monetary authority increased its policy by 75 basis points on thursday. today is a new day and let's see how trading is faring right now. here is how asian markets finished. you can see hong kong shares up more than 1%, shanghai up nearly 1%. let's have a look at europe. there is the dax, up a bit and also ftse 100 also up. so more positive today but i think all the analysts are saying don't expect prices to keep rising. american consumers are acutely feeling the rise of costs of inflation. and now central banks are taking
1:13 am
action to curb the prices but will it help? here is what our political commentator told us. >> well, it is hard to say at this poi this. part of the reason why ib flakes has gone up has to come with the war this ukraine and represented disruption to energy markets. that has taken a lot of supply offline particularly of russian energy that european countries depend on, that has driven up energy prices as a result and increased the overall cost of living in these countries. by raising interest rates, that will tamp down demand somewhat meaning it is more expensive to borrow, it is more expensive to spend money effectively, the cost of borrowing is higher and that should presumably bring down demand a little bit including possibly for energy.
1:14 am
but so long as we continue to have these major disruptions in commodity markets, energy and food particularly, we may continue to see elevated prices going forward. >> thank you, catherine. and a retired american marine may have gone hissing in ukraine. we'll tell you what is known about his disappearance and what he was doing there. plus the u.s. is gearing up for another week of hot weather. details just ahead. - [narrator] as you u get ready for what's next, customom gear from custom ink can help make the most of these moments. we've developed new tools to make it easy for you. custom ink has hundreds of products to help you feel cnected. upload your logo or stary at customink.com

1:19 am
ukraine the candidate for the european union. the european commission is expensed to publish its opinion in less than two hours. and is this a is this a recommendation, it would likely take years. but the leaders of italy, german, frabsnce and romania sa that they support fast tracking their candidacy. meanwhile nato defense ministers are meeting in brussels pushing ahead to bolster defenses in eastern europe and send ukraine more weapons. head of nato says that the alliance is supporting an independent state and is not seeking a confrontation. let's bring in salma abdelaziz who is live for us at the ukrainian capital. what do we know about the third american? very little information coming from the state department. >> reporter: and this third
1:20 am
american, grady, according to his family he went missing in late april. he is a former member of the marine corps, came as a private citizen to ukraine in early march, he gijoined the foreign legion, he was fighting in the souft of th south of the country in kherson and during the course of military operations he went missing in action. the state department says that they are aware of the reports but little information beyond that. he might have been killed in action and body not found or he may have been captured and is prisoner of war. this is after a previous report of two other americans, their families say that they went missing about a week ago, they were fighting again under ukrainian military command, volunteers of course, former members of the u.s. military coming here as private citizens, they were fighting in the north
1:21 am
of the country about a week ago and again they went missing in action about june 9. you did bring up that photograph there that was circulating on social media yesterday, we can't verify that image, but of course that raises the concern that they have been captured by russian forces, that they are prisoners of war. and the fear here is that if they have been captured and if they are p.o.w.s, they should be treated under the geneva conve conventions. but human rights groups say at times that is not what happens when russian forces capture these fighters. we had that case of the two brirt british fighters that were captured and they were sentenced to death. they are still appealing that verdict but it paints that worrying picture of just how dangerous it is for foreigners to come and fight in ukraine. of course the state department taking this opportunity to remind americans that they are highly discouraged from coming here in ukraine and fighting on the front lines. >> salma in kyiv, thank you.
1:22 am
the u.n. says that it has verified the deaths of more than 13 1300. but they say the true death toll is much higher. as many as 90% of the mariupol residential buildings have been damaged or destroyed and likely the deadliest place in ukraine since the invasion it is unclear moisture additional deaths were caused by lack of food, water and medicine. and we're learning more details about russia's original plan for a quick victory in the war. ukraine's defense minister tells cnn that russia originally expected kyiv to be taken in 12 hours and ukraine's leadership to flee the city in three days. that information in documents found on a dead russian officer. the minister says that the west started sending heavy weapons only after ukraine defended kyiv
1:23 am
but now he expects the help to continue. >> all partners will never stop. i was told that. i spoke with my friend loloyd austin, second of dretary of de united states, ben wallace and all colleagues, they told me don't worry, we won't stop. >> do you really believe that that is a genuine commitment by the united states to continue to militarily back ukraine into the future for matter what? >> i heard yesterday and i felt that it is absolutely honestly. >> president putin ew expect pu expected to give a speech. this is as russia faces crippling sanctions for launching the war in ukraine.
1:24 am
dutch authorities say that they foiled an attempt by russian spies to gain access to the international criminal court by pretending to be an intern. they say a spuspected operative posed as a 33-year-old man from brazil and successfully applied for the job at the icc. but when he arrived, he was deemed a potentially very high threat and he was refused entry. the icc is currently investigating allegations of russian war crimes in ukraine. so access to the court would have been highly valuable to moscow. number of people forced to become refugees worldwide is at a record high. a new report says that more than 100 million people have been forced to flee war, violence, persecution, and human rights abuses. and in ukraine alone more than 7 million people have been internally displaced and more than 6 million more refugees have fred the country because of putin's war.
1:25 am
the u.n. high commission says that the current food crisis intensified by the war in ukraine will make matters worse. >> unfortunately i cannot imagine how if you have a food crisis on top of everything that i have described, war, human rights, climate, you name it, on top of that, you have a food crisis, it will just accelerate the trends that are described in this report. >> the report primarily focused on 2021 and said more than two-thirds of the world's refugees came from just five countries. they are syria, venezuela, afghan, south sudan and myanmar. new satellite images reveal the extent of devastating flooding surrounding the yellowstone national park. look at these before and after photos. this is the gardner river in montana. the flooding was so intense it
1:26 am
altered the course of the river and carved a deep cut into the earth. the floods also took out highway 89 which crosses the river's banks. the park's northern region bore the brunt of the damage. it will likely remain closed through the end of the tourist season. other less impacted areas could reopen next week. millions in the u.s. currently under heat alerts heading into this weekend. more than a dozen cities set records for daily high temperatures on this yourself. in ohio tens of thousands have been without power for several days. in kansas, at least 2,000 cattle died due to the heat and humidity. officials say death valley national park tourist was found dead after his car ran out of gas and wisconsin officials are investigating at least two heat related odeaths. and karen maginnis is joining us. a frightening situation and
1:27 am
people need to be aware of the temperatures. >> it is not just deadly and threat to humans, but also for pets and for livestock, wildlife also in danger here. and this is covering such a broad area of the united states. and we're at the beginning of summer and typically we see more and more of these heatwaves, they occur earlier, they last longer. and this is spread all across the united states. big impact coming up for 32 million people across the deep south and carolinas and central mississippi valley and central states. but it is not finished then. we'll see some thunderstorms erupt across the deep south, but 32 million people friday, but the heat dome begins to move toward the west again. so all the way from the central plains into the southwestern united states, it is just suffering from a drought condition that have prevailed for much of the year. now they are looking at once again another round of triple digits. here are the heat advisories and heat alerts all the w he way to

1:29 am
valley, tennessee valley region and then some of that, we're starting to pick up some monsoon all moisture across the southwest. they need it, but doesn't look like that it will bake the heat very much over the next several days. max, back to you. >> karen, thank you. parts of western europe also cop coping with a dangerous heatwave. temperatures are expected to reach at least 93 degrees fahrenheit. 34 celsius today. officials say that town in southern france reported a temperature of 40 degrees celsius thursday and forecasts indicate that paris could see the hottest june day yet this weekend. spain also experiencing hot every than normal temperatures, its most extreme heatwave the country has seen in more than four decades. for four years mike pence

1:34 am
basement as the rioters breached the u.s. capitol. it said the monica perilously close to finding pence and possibly killing him. >> vice president pence and his team ultimately were led to a secure location where they stayed for the next 4 1/2 hours, barely missing rioters a few feet away. >> approximately 40 feet, that is all there was, 40 feet between the swrpvice president the mob. >> mike pence january 6 appeared to sever any remnants of a relationship that he and trump may once have had. and brian todd explains pence apparently soured on trump long before january 6. >> reporter: the once strong partnership splintered. video played by the house committee investigating january 6 showed rioters on you sighted capitol calling for then vice
1:35 am
president mike pence's demise, which they would have been happy to help bring about. >> if pence came, we'll drag the [ bleep ] through the streets. >> donald trump turned the mob on him. a mob that was chanting hang mike pence. >> reporter: the house committee revealed that pence came a mere 40 feet from rioters and then ushered to safety by the secret service. a newly obtained photo shows pence and his family hiding in a capitol office. testimony was played from witnesses who recalled a heated phone conversation that morning and then president trump lobbing insults at pence as pence resisted trump's pressure to not certify the election results. >> i we areremember hearing the wimp. >> there is no love loss between these two and we should forget about any kumbaya moment.

>> reporter: far cry from the first time that donald trump and mike pence pretty. according to an author who has been biographies of both men, that was in the summer of 2016 when trump was being looking for a vice presidential running mate. a visit to indianapolis by trump played to trump's ego and pence's ambition. >> i think trump was convinced and partly because pence was so ob see we could us. he acted like that he would have no trouble despite his evangelical christian morality associating himself with trump. >> reporter: both men perfected the art of gushing over each other in public in those early days. >> donald trump showed had you can have broad shoulders and still stand with grace and poise on the international stage. >> mike pence did an incredible job. >> reporter: he believes that pence was turned off by his

treatment of women and aides. but became the ultimate loyalist which was on display during sometimes cringe-worthy cabinet mee meetsings. >> thank you very much. it is the privilege of my life to serve as vice president. >> reporter: and when trump pressured president volodymyr zelenskyy to investigate joe and hunter bipartisan, and the subsequent impeachment proceedings against trump -- >> we're at the point when pence probably thought that this presidency is an absolute mess. >> reporter: and a person familiar with the relationship tells cnn that donald trump and mike pence have not spoken for more than a year. both men reportedly now gearing up for possible presidential runs in 2024 where they would square off against each other in the gop premiprimaries and more might emerge. and meanwhile no deal this
1:38 am
week on gun legislation. and negotiations have been stalled over two issues that have become crucial sticking points in the gun safety talks. now there are serious questions about whether a deal will make it to the senate floor anytime soon. lead democratic negotiator chris murphy says progress has been made the past couple days and he thinks the vote could be held next week. and while gun reform remains elusive on capitol hill, we have another deadly shooting to report in the united states. this one in alabama. two people were killed when a gunman attacked a gathering at an episcopal church on thursday. >> from what we've gathered from the circumstances of this evening, a lone suspect entered a small group church meeting and began shooting. three people were shot. two people are deceased. one person is being treated for an unknown injury at a local

hospital. >> police say the shooter is in custody but has not been identified. a local reverend said she hopes the community will come together in such a time of tragedy. >> a lot of people will be hurting, not just the people that have been physically injured but it is a scary thing when it happens. so what we need is for this community to do what it is good at which is coming together to take care of each other through prayers and thoughts and anything else. >> and the motive is still un-san antonio. unknown. the atf has not had a senate confirmed director since 2015. president biden's nominee for the post may be in troubling. on thursday the judiciary committee deadlocked in its vote to send the nomination to the full senate for a vote. the vote is scheduled for next week and democrats will have to use an additional procedural man you're to push to the floor. democrats blame partisan politics for the deadlocked

a senior isis member has been captured in northern syria. according to a statement, the man was an experienced bombmaker and had become one of the group's top leaders. barbara starr has the details. >> reporter: u.s. and coalition forces have identified what they say is the name of the senior isis leader that they detained during a helicopter raid in northern syria on thursday in the allepo area.
1:44 am
they say that the man was a senior isis operative and facilitator, his expertise was in bomb making, he had taken part in planning operations against u.s. and coalition forces. this is part of the effort to continue to go after isis operatives in syria, the remnants of isis the u.s. says when and where they find them. but some of these operations have been very controversial because they have happened in areas where civilians are living. in this case the u.s. and coalition says that they planned the operation meticulously and they have no reports of any civilians killed or injured. barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. authorities in israel say that they have concluded that their investigation to police actions during the funeral procession of lane slain journalist. police had widespread criticism
1:45 am
following the procession after the television showed officers striking mourners with batons nearly causing the ballpallbear to drop the coffin. what was the conclusion of the investigation? >> yeah, those chaotic scenes were broadcast around the world drawing in so much of that criticism of the police conduct because it is just so hard to watch those images when thousands of people had flooded into the streets of jerusalem to honor the journalist killed while covering the police raid in the west bank. and then in the tense days after her killing when so many people had turned out for her funeral to see these image as coming out, the white house at the time called the images disturbing, secretary of state antony blinken called them deeply troubling. and at the time, israeli police said that they responded in that manner because they said that objects, things like rocks, were
1:46 am
being thrown at them during the procession. they also say that under a prior arrangement, the coffin was supposed to be transported by car to her grave but thousands of mourners had wanted to take her cough by foot through the streets as a symbolic gesture for those who came out to honor here. police did he say that they launched a probe in to the israeli conduct. although enough announced the conclusion of the probe, none of the findings have been released publicly. what we have so far is a statement from the israeli police commissioner. he wrote in a statement, it is impossible to remain indifferent to the harsh images. but then he seems to sort of still direct the blame towards the mourners saying we must thoroughly learn the incidents so that in the future sensitive events such as these will not be disturbed by violence right on theers and will be respected. israeli media is reporting that
1:47 am
no police officers or their commanders will be penalized or will face any sort of consequences for their actions. we have asked police when they will release the full findings of their investigation. but so far they have not responded to our request. and human remains believed to be of a british journalist will undergo dna testing to identify them. remai remains are thought to be from dom and bruno who had disappeared while investigating for a book. they reportedly received death threats days earlier. they were initially called reckless but now they have sent condolences. and a suspect in custody admitted to killing the pair and indicated where their bodies were buried. a second seskuspect was also
