tampering by members of trump's orbit. sources tell cnn that custody hutchinson told the panel she was contacted by someone attempting to influence her testimony before tuesday's hearing. the committee is considering making a criminal referral to the justice department. the committee has also subpoenaed trump's former white house counsel pat cipollone. testimony from hutchinson reveals that cipollone was alarmed by possible criminal behaviors by the president and his aides. one of the people she highlighted was tony ori orinat. former president trump and his supporters are doing their best to undermine the damaging testimony. the latest from ryan nobles. >> reporter: new information tonight about the january 6

committee's star witness cassidy hutchinson, sources tell cnn that hutchinson was one of two wh exam pals that liz cheney used that terrorism was putting pressure. our committee commonly asks witnesses whether they have been ka contacted by any of their former colleagues or anyone else who attempted to influence or impact their testimony. >> reporter: witness intimidation among a growing list of potential crimes the committee believes trump and his top advisers could be at the center of. >> it is a serious issue and i would imagine the department of justice would be have interested in and would take that seriously as well. >> reporter: but trump and his allies are pushing back, attacking hutchinson and questioning her credibility, all because of a despite ispute ove aspects. the recounting of the president

lunging at the secret service. >> these are great people, they have devoted their lives to it and i think that they were very embarrassed by it because it makes them sound terrible. >> reporter: but members of the committee saying that orinato's story didn't ahead pup. >> mr. or nat tow did not have clear memories as i would say ms. hutchinson did. >> reporter: adam kinzinger saying that there seems to be a major thread here, tony likes to lie. meanwhile the committee issuing a subpoena to pat cipollone, a key figure members believe has a lot to share. >> there were quite a few things that he could tell the committee that would not be subject to privilege. and i think that it is important. >> reporter: cipollone already signaling that he may be willing to sit for a transcribed deposition. as for others who are fighting

subpoenas, frustration is mounting from the lack of action from the department of justice. >> mark meadows and dan scavino has refused to talk to congress. we have the power of subpoena and the justice department has failed to indict them for that. so it just sends the message that you can resist all penalties. >> reporter: and wednesday night at the reagan library in california, cheney using the work of the committee to make the case that it is time for it is time for the party to move past trump. >> so the little girls and young women watching tonight, these days for the most part men are running the world. and it is really not going that well. >> reporter: we're learning a little bit more about the testimony that tony orinato has already given to the january 6 select committee. sources say he met on two different occasions, once in january, another time in march, that he was asked questions about what the former president

knew about the vice president's whereabouts on january 6 and whether or not he could have done anything more to calm the protestors that were rioting the capitol on that day. ryan nobles, cnn, on capitol hill. history was made on the high court on thursday. justice stephen breyer officially retired allowing justice ketanji brown jackson to be sworn in as the first black woman on the supreme court. president biden vowing to tackle climate change by any legal means possible after being hit with what he called a devastating decision to restrict the epa's ability to regulate greenhouse gas emissions. the court allowed the biden administration to end the "remain in mexico" policy, it forced many to return to mexico while their immigration proceedings played out. this as biden seized a moment to

forcefully attack the court overturning roe v. wade calling on the senate to change the filibuster rules to preserve abortion rights. listen to this. >> most important thing to be clear about is we have to -- i believe we have to codify roe v. wade in the law and the way to do that is to make sure that congress votes to do that. and if the filibuster gets in the way, it should be -- we provide an exception for this, the -- require an exception to the filibuster for this action. >> sleer leaders in madrid promising more aid to ukraine. the president said that ukraine can count on nato's help no matter how long. >> we'll stick with ukraine as long as it takes. when the war will end, i hope

sooner than later. but for it to end, they have to be in a position where the -- the ukrainians have all that they can reasonably expect, we can reasonably expect, to get to them in order to provide for their physical security and their defenses. >> during the summit the alliance also invited sweden and finland to join, this after turkey dropped its objections to new members. nato will also prop up its security posture in europe because of the war in ukraine. that includes sending two more f-35 fighter jets to squadrons in the uk, deploying extra air capabilities, sending an extra rotational brigade of 3,000 troops to romania and setting up a permanent headquarters for the fifth army corps in poland. ukraine is now facing one of the most crucial and difficult periods of the four month old war. russia continues to fire

missiles, rockets and artillery at civilian targets across the country. at least 18 people were reported killed friday when missiles slammed into a residential building and recreation center in odesa. and russian forces have been driven from snake island after week of attacks. president volodymyr zelenskyy highlighted the significance of retaking the island. >> translator: snake island is a strategic point, significantly changes the situation in the black sea. it does not yet guarantee security, it does not yet ensure hat enemy will not come back. but this significantly limits the actions of the okay pirs step by step we'll purpose them back from our sea, our land and our sky. >> donbas russia claims it has captured half of the city of lysychansk including the local oil refinery. ukraine disputes that and says

it still controls some of the industrial site. let's go live to kyiv and salma abdelaziz who is juggling all of the messaging here. it is around interesting around snake island because it seemed clear victory, but the russians saying it was a goodwill gesture that they were pulling out. how do you see it? >> reporter: the main headline here is of course that the russian forces have withdrew from snake island. and that is hugely symbolic because this was a place that really symbolized ukraine's resistance very early on in this conflict, it was one of the opening salvos of the war, russian warship pulled up to that island, just 45 acres in the black sea. strategic, but again this tiny bit of land. told over radio for ukrainian forces on that island to surrender. and they responded by saying russian warship go expletive yourself telling them where to stick it.

that went viral, that little radio exchange. it was printed on t-shirts, on mugs. you could go into any shop in ukraine and it became sort of a war chant for ukrainians. and ukrainian officials say that after military operations by air, land and sea, that they were able to force out russian troops and finally take back that island. again, massive wily symbolic victory, one that means so much when it is on the back foot on the battlefield. yes, russia says it has withdrawn strategically from the island as a good will gesture and it sort of indicated that that might ease the blockade of grain. now, ukraine of course is accusing russia here of blockading of preventing their ability to 2k3export some 22 million tons of grain. at the same time russia disputing the claim saying it is not their fault that the grain can't get out of ukraine. but again, it is the symbol of snake island being liberated

that is so important especially when you look at that frontline where ukrainian forces are having to retreat from that donbas region where they are outmanned, outgunned, where russia absolutely had the momentum. this will be a massive morale boost for them. >> salma, thank you. you are looking at live pictures now from a moscow courthouse where brittany g griner's trial is scheduled to begin. she was detained in february after officials say they found cannabis oil in her luggage. griner is expected to arrive at the courtroom very soon. back in the u.s. her wife told cnn that she has been getting advice from families of other wrongfully detained americans. in her exclusive conversation with abby phillip, she also discussed her reaction to seeing the pictures of griner in a

moscow courtroom earlier this week. >> images of her? >> i have. >> what did you think. >> it was very disheartening. i told i like to be very frank with my wife and authentic when i do write her, you know, and i told her, i saw a picture and honestly for a secretary i thought you was insane. it took me aback. i just want to tell you one thing, if you are losing your mind, just be gracious with yourself because you are human and that is okay. and that when you come back, you know, we'll love you back whole and i said if you aren't going insane, you know, just do me a favor and just try to keep whatever integrity you can control by not allowing them to depict you in ways that are not really, you know, your current state i said. so if you have to put a hoodie on, do it, don't allow them to try to strip you completely to that degree because at the end

of the day, they are controlling the media over there, so i don't really know, you know, if it is photo shopped or if that is really her state of being. but, you know, it was very hard to see and so i understand propaganda to a certain degree, so i try not to take it as just truth, but it did make me worry. >> we'll speak to clare sebastian wheno has a lot of experience in russia. do you think she has a point, that we're seeing a lot of propaganda play out here? >> reporter: yeah, i think that is something to bear in mind as we see how the really unfolds. certainly russia has very tight control over the media, much more so now since the start of the war in ukraine. and obviously the war in ukraine very much complicates this case. but i think if you look at the precedent for trials like this, most important are of course trevor reed who has been released from prison, returned home, and paul whelan, another american citizen who is still there.

they were both subjected to trials. the trials were largely behind closed doors. we didn't really see the evidence that was put forward to support their eventual convictions. in the case of trevor reed, u.s. ambassador called it theater of the absurd. paul whelan's trial had secret evidence according to u.s. officials. so i think that it is understandable that the family are very worried about this trial and how it will go. but i think the other point to this is that trial even a conviction doesn't preclude an eventual deal being made to secure her release. trevor reed was released after having been convicted, admittedly that gave a sort of combination of both hope and despair to the other families because of course trevor reed had a health emergency which seems to be why u.s. officials pushed for his release. but there is talk in the state department, they do seem to be actively dealing with this, jake tapper spoke to antony blinken about a week ago, asked him

about the potential for a prisoner swap for brittney griner. and he said that they are not discussing details, but he said that bringing americans detained abroad home from detention is their highest priority. so the trial is set to start within the hour, we're hearing from cnn's fred pleitgen that the hearing is expected to take about 90 minutes. so we'll see what comes out of that. >> clare, thank you. up next, a rough quarter and turbulent year so far for u.s. stocks. a closer look at the latest numbers. plus it is july 4th weekend, but holiday plans could be impacted by heavy rains across the united states. details ahead. matters most? thel new epson rapidreceipt smartel organinizer to scan, digitize d organize your documents anand receipts. receiptsts go in, ad stress goes away. it's the only solution on the market specifically designed to extract and digitize key data trapped on receipts and invoices. and it

thursday marked the end of a turbulent second quarter for all three major indices. the dow fell 253 points in trading, its worth three month period since 2020. similar story for the s&p 500.

and for the nasdaq, it ended it worst quarter since 2008. right now let's get a check of the markets around the globe. we're just over an hour into trading across europe. german and french shares up, but london shares down. we've also been keeping an eye on the markets across asia with just an hour to go until the opening bell on wall street -- a few hours rather. all the main stocks are down. japanese shares down nearly 2%. and here is a look at the futures, all looking down. the story really about risk aversion, leading away from riskier assets and into bonds. all three major u.s. endisease in the first six months in the red. a worrying period over inflation concerns, rattling investors. ar >> thursday closed out the first

half of 2022 and it has been a rough ride for u.s. stocks. since january, the s&p 500 has shed about a fifth of its value. the dow off more than 15% for the year and the tech heavy nasdaq is lower by about 30% this year. investors reacting to heightened fears of a recession as the u.s. federal reserve tries to tackle recession that remained at a 40 year high. the fed is raising interest rates to cool demand in spending. that hopefully allows demands to catch up to the supply of goods which should thrower inflation, but the risk of the fed overdoing it that it triggers a recession is growing and the markets are jittery. and on the inflation front, thursday we got a new report which confirmed inflation is proving to be quite stubborn. 6.3% for the year ended in may. the federal reserve wants that number to be closer to 2%. looking ahead to the rest of the

year, investor outlook remains bleak as the fed has continued to expected to continue to raise interest rates to combat inflation. as it does, borrowing costs continue to get more expensive for americans. perhaps one sign of relief, gas prices are lower with one energy consultants thinking that it will hit $4 within a couple weeks. some pilots for delta air lines are on the picket headlines laeftd busy weekend. these pictures from minneapolis on thursday. the airline has already cut about 100 flights a day from its july schedule to minimize disruptions. but experts are warning that it will be a summer of travel hell. while airlines receive $54 billion in federal aid during the pandemic, they now have fewer employees than before covid especially pilots. labor shortages won't be the only challenges for holidays this weekend adding to the travel misery, much of the u.s.

will be impacted by heavy rains and thunderstorms as well. derek van dam has more details on that. >> that's right, max. millions will be traveling today through the course of this extended holiday weekend, myself included. many of us want to get a head start on our early weekend plans. and there is going to be some travel problems, travel concerns i should say, that being severe weather across the upper midwest and the potential for some flash flooding across the gulf coast states, monsoon natural moisture over the four corners. but today is your day to travel in the northeast. but things will change as we head into the weekend. look at what the national service has done, they have issued a flood watch in and around the houston area, this includes galveston, this is all thanks to what was a tropical disturbance just off the coast of texas. no longer monitoring this for tropical activity because it has moved on shore, but this storm

system will bring plenty of gulf of mexico moisture and it will kind of resurge all of this rainfall potential into the area. we've had plenty of drought conditions across eastern texas into western louisiana, and this will help put a dent into that with rainfall totals here exceeding several inches. whether prediction center has a slight risk of flash flooding in and around houston as well as southwestern louisiana. you can see that system spinning up across the area. other weather story for the extended holiday weekend will be this approaching cold front along the east coast. you can see it producing a few thunderstorms today across portions of pennsylvania and into eastern ohio. but as we head into the day saturday, continue conditions become a little more prime for severe weather especially along the eastern sea board into new england, boston, new york, philadelphia to d.c., damaging winds and large hail are a possibility. so we'll monitor that situation closely. by the fourth of july, it will clear out nicely and bring in pleasant conditions just in time for fireworks.

honeg kong is marking 25 years since it was handed back to china with a day of ceremonies and speeches. chinese president xi jinping took part in the trip. he praised the city's response to covid, defended the controversial national security law and talked about the importance of the one country two systems policy. >> translator: no those who support one country two systems, support the prosperity of hong kong, whether from hong kong or overseas, thank you. >> the new chief executive took the oath of office replacing carrie lam. lee is a former police officer who rose through the ranks. he is known for overseeing the

anti-government protests in 2019. the day kicked off with a flag raising ceremony at the city's convention center. the flags of hong kong and people's republic of china raisera raised side by side there. ivan watson, first to you, what stood out for you from this momentous day? >> i think -- i covered xi jinping's last visit to hong kong five years ago at the 20th anniversary. and in that speech, he issued warnings, he said that anybody who tried to threaten china's national security from hong kong to try to take advantage of the freedoms of hong kong and use it as a spring board to challenge the one party rule of communist china, that that would be a red

line and it wouldn't be tolerated. five years later, xi jinping did not have to issue any warnings or any red lines because the organized political dissent, any form of that, has been largely crushed here in this former british colony. the street demonstrations that used to be held annually on july 1th, these pro democracy marches, those do not exist anymore, they did not take place today. and we haven't seen any of these meetings or protests really in at least two years. the elected lawmakers for the hong kong legislature from the opposition who were in office five years ago, most of them are either behind bars or they have fled into exile. independent news outlets have been targeted by td shut down, labor unions, student unions, human rights organizations like amnesty international and human rights watch have all closed their

offices. so instead of issuing warnings, xi jinping celebrated what he and authorities here are calling a new era for hong kong, of stability as they put it, and he says that he is committed to this very unusual formula, they called it one country two systems here where hong kong is more free arguably and more capitalist than mainland china, but as xi jinping put it, it is now governed by what he describes as patriots. you disqualified anybody who is not considered a patriot from being able to participate in elections for local office. this has been criticized by western government such as the british prime minister, canada and the u.s. secretary of state antony blinken in this tweet where he accused beijing authorities of breaking their promises to hong kongers and calling for promised freedoms to

be reinstated there. judging by the speech given by she sh xi jinping, that is not going to happen. >> steven, how is it being received in china? state media were all across this and it went smoothly from their point of view. >> definitely. wall to wall coverage with special banners and a lot of patriotic music and song being played on chinese television. one thing that struck me was in the speech when he mentioned honk do yg kong's rule was a ce humiliation, that was only stopped and changed when communists came to power. not surprisingly hong kong text books no longer allowed to describe hong kong as a former british colony because in their view they have never ceded to the british, instead illegally occupied the territory for over century. so that is one example of how

much hong kong has been in lock step with beijing ideologically not to mention politically, economically and all the covid and security rules. but from beijing's perspective, this is a very positive development because only the iron fist of xi jinping has really finally made hong kong a truly chinese territory. so increasingly you hear the term in chinese media the second return of hong kong meaning back in 1997, they regained sovereignty, but not the power to govern because of all the opposition not to mention so-called sub versive forces. but now thanks to xi jinping's rule, hong kong is more than ever a chinese territory and destined for long term prosperity, this of course something very much reiterated by xi jinping but also state media and also believed by millions of chinese citizens on the mainland who have bought into his version, his brand of

patriotism and nationalism, that of course very important as he is all but certain to secure an almost unprecedented third term as china's top leader later this year and potentially paving the way for him to rule for life. the party wants to reassert every control over every aspect of chinese territories and now that very much includes hong kong. >> and will, when we consider how hong kong fits into china, always in the background is the concept of taipei as well. wasn't really any clues about xi jinping's views on that within this speech at least? >> yeah, he didn't mention taiwan by name. and just moments ago this tweet has dropped from the taiwan president and she also doesn't mention china by name, but there is definitely a reference here, she says when the going to gets

tough, the tough get going. unprecedented threats from authoritarian actors will not deter us in taiwan from working with our partners around the world to uphold liberal values and strengthen democratic institutions. that is the strategy here in taipei. they know that they will outspent by 15 times when it comes to china's military, there is no way to match head to head with the technology that china has been developing to create this massive monstrous military that with the goal some u.s. intelligence experts say of trying to be able to take taiwan even with u.s. intervention. but what they do have here is they have soft power. they have semiconductors, they are world leaders in chip manufacturing. and these are the semiconductors that power our well cellphones, our computers. taiwan knows that and they try to kind of let other wealthier nations know that there is more than just this island and its

democratic system and its 25 million people at stake. it is the global economy. and that is soft power. those friendships, not formal diplomatic ally answers, but taiwan has a lot of powerful and rich friends, friends with armiess ans and militaries and hope that the world will see this island as valuable enough to come to its aid in the event that china were do something or more importantly to signal that it would be bad for them if they try to make a move. this would be a very, very different military scenario, but something that they are thinking about constantly here. they are trying to evolve their military to make it more asymmetric, to be able to defend against a large scale chinese invasion. so this is a very real issue in this beautiful place where people have a great quality of life but they know that their

democracy is vibrant, young, fragile, and 100 miles away from the mainland with 1.5 billion people and massive military and government with an increasingly firm determination to reunify as they put it even though communist reulers in beijing hae never controlled this island. >> woill, steven, ivan, thank you. hong kong set to open its new palace museum this weekend, a gift from the central government. the $450 million project will showcase hundreds of artifacts while some relics are considered national treasures, others came at a price. and kristie lu stout reports. >> reporter: the palace museum stands at the heart of beijing. and it is expanding into honk do you think whong kong with a building designed to house hundreds of its priceless treasures. the new palace museum is

dedicated to chinese art and culture. its july opening coincides with the 25th anniversary of the city's handover from british rule to china. >> so important for our museum to be able to tell the story. where does chinese civilization come from and how does it connect with other civil civilizations. i think that is important especially when the world is so divided. >> reporter: more than 900 artifacts are on loan from beijing's palace museum exhibited across multiple galleries. in this one the spotlight is on the history of chinese ceramics with the focus on imperial porc porcelain. >> 1.8 million objects and out of that, only 8,000 were designated as tradgrade one obj before out of the 8,000, they gave us 166, 5%. which is a big deal.

you have to see it because only with your own eye you can really appreciate the exquisite nature of chinese art. >> reporter: chinese president xi jinping has protested the glories of china's past as part of his vision for achieving the chinese dream. in 2017, she visited hong kong to mark the 20th anniversary of the handover, and oversaw the signing ceremony between beijing and hong kong to develop the museum. at the time he said that he hoped it would promote traditional chinese culture. as the president's push for cultural soft power is being realized in the city, freedom of expression has been curtailed thanks to a national security law passed in 2020, scenes of mass protests are no more and politically charged artworks like the pillar of shame have been removed. the hong kong outpost will be the third palace museum in the world, many of the forbidden city's other treasures are also on display at the palace museum

in taiwan after some of china's most prized relics were taken to taipei in the 1940s. >> we have these exhibits in beijing, china, taiwan working together with us in our museum. so i can only imagine that dialogue will continue. i hope one day there could be an actual collaboration between the three museums. >> reporter: three museums, housing china's priceless national treasures, but only two have the blessing of beijing, including here, but the capital's influence is already felt. kristie lu stout, cnn, hong kong. and spending first days as israel's new prime minister. yair lapid symbolically switched seats with his predecessor. the two later held a handover ceremony at the prime minister's office in jerusalem.
