welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on "cnn newsroom," democracy marred by violence in countries across the globe. in sir lanka, massive crowds stormed the presidential palace forcing the top leaders to resign. in japan, voting is now under way following the as satsassina of its former prime minister gunned down. and in the u.s., militia

training, bombs and the so-called death list, what a right wing extremist group was allegedly doing right before the capitol riot. >> live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brunhuber. sri lanka's president and prime minister say they will resign after protestors stormed the residences of both leaders as the country's seemingly endless economic crises boil over. saturday demonstrators broke through to reach the presidential palace calling for the president to leave office. and they also set fire to the prime minister's private residence. his office says that he was moved earlier to secure location. these unprecedented protests come after months of anti-government demonstrations across the country.

>> they must go. it is time for us to think of the country. we left everything and came for the sake of the people. >> the president and the prime minister and to have a new era for sri lanka. i feel sad that they didn't go earlier. because if they had gone earlier, there wouldn't be any destruction. it is time that we get our money back to this country. >> the prime minister says he is willing to make way for an all-party government to take over, the statement came after a meeting of party leaders held by the parliament speaker. and will ripley is joining us live from taipei. protestors got what they wanted in a sense, the top two leaders are gone. so what now? >> reporter: well, they will be gone in the coming days and i think that that is what will be crucial, to watch and see that the calm that they are seeing today will continue until wednesday when the president says that he will step down.

the prime minister actually says that he will stick around until a new all-party government is formed. and the way that that works essentially is that the speaker of parliament who is the one who actually -- the president who informed that he would be resigning and then he gave a speech to the nation urging calm, urging succescessation of violence, he urged calm, and so will it continue. speaker is asking protestors to go home. this has been building up for months. but at least for now will is calm and that is a good headline today after what happened yesterday. >> absolutely. but as you know even with the country's top leaders gone, i mean, that won't be the end of the country's problems. >> reporter: you're right. this is the worst financial

crisis that sri lanka has faced in more than seven decades. inside the end of world war ii. you have food shortages, you have power cuts that have been relentless, you have shortages of basic senses like medicine. you have the serpentine queues for fuel that are so long and it is rationed to only essential services. this is extraordinarily difficult and things will only get worse if they don't have international assistance. and they haven't found a solution. they say it is largely because of poor economic decisions by the president and his family because his brother was the prime minister up until recently. this new prime minister who saw his home set on fire yesterday, he was brought on as a replacement, but they are not happy with him either. they have been calling for the

president to step tdown and he hadn't been listening. one protestor said had the president listened to the calls to step down sooner, a lot of the violence and damage could have been avoided. he had 100,000 people outside the president's residence, they stormed the house, hung up banners, they swam in the pool. the president and prime minister had been taken to secure locations. but just the destruction protestors said could have been pre-vemtsed had the ruling elite listened to the public sooner, a public who is really struggling and they struggled through covid, through the awful cargo ship fire, and prior to that, the easter bombings that i covered that took a huge tour on the sri lanka tourism industry. so as a nation they have had a rough go of it. >> absolutely. now the people there who were protesting, they aren't necessarily united in who they want to see leave the country. the opposition that is supposed

to lead the country, they are not united either here. what are the consequences if the new government can't steer the country out of this mess? are we looking at a failed state here? >> that certainly has been the case in overtimes of crisis where there have been militant groups that have popped up. that is not what anyone wants to see happen. prior to the easter bombings, they were starting to stabilize, tourism industry was growing. there was is great food, good beaches, all the ingredients for a successful destination. so tourists can get there easily, visas are easy to get, it should be a nation that should thrive and prosper, but people are suffering. and if they don't have a leader that can unify all the different factions, it could be turbulent times to come. >> well, thanks so much for your

analysis of the situation. will ripley in taipei, thanks so much. japan has lost a true patriot and a true leader. and australia has lost a true friend. the friendship that mr. abe offered australia was warm in sentiment and profound in consequence. to the broader japanese family your australian friends share in your sorrow and we stand with you in your time of sadness. >> the prime minister there paying tribute to shinzo abe. in melbourne, buildings were lit up in the colors of the japanese flag saturday night to honor the late prime minister as regional neighbors australia and japan with had a close and couldn't difference relationship for many decades and abe's role was critical. parliamentary elections are under way in japan just two days after abe was brutally gunned down in broad

daylight near osaka. at stake are 125 seats in the upper house. abe was killed while campaigning for his liberal democratic party friday. secretary of state antony blinken will travel to tokyo on monday to pay his respects. and we're also getting details about the suspect's statements to police. blake essig is joining us live. let's start there what we are learning about the accused killer. what can you tell us? >> reporter: earlier today we actually got a glimpse of the man suspected of murdering former prime minister shinzo abe when he was moved from a police station in nara where the assassination took place to the district prosecutor's office. it is important to note that even though he has admitted to the shooting at this point he has not been formally charged. but kyoto news has described him as totally ordinary, and that he seemed mild mannered. not exactly the characteristics of a man who was determined to

assassinate the former prime minister, but according to nhk, the 41-year-old suspect considered carrying out the crime a day earlier at a different campaign event but decided against it because he was looking for a space that was led guarded. now, nhk is also reporting that the suspect told police that he had originally planned to kill abe using explosives before deciding to use a homemade gun instead. in the end as we know abe was shot twice from several meters away while delivering a speech in the city of nara in support of ldbs ahead of today's election. >> so let's talk about the election itself. it must have been sort of a somber day in a way. what was the mood and what trends are emerging so far? >> reporter: kim, the polls are now open across japan and while the former prime minister shinzo abe's assassination could affect turnout, it is unlikely to

change the results. the ruling party here in japan was already favored to win a majority of the 125 upper house seats being contested. and following the assassination just to kind of put an exclamation point on the fact that democracy would continue to thrive here in japan, the current prime minister fumio kishida said that democrat will never yield to violence and that the election activities would continue and winners of today's election will spend the next six years inside japan's parliament building right there behind me. >> and going back to the assassination, i mean, abe's security situation has been called into question. what kind of fallout has there been so far? >> reporter: in the days that have followed, many questions have been raised about the former prime minister's security. chief of police in the prefecture where abe was

assassinated says he can't deny that there were problems with the security plan, that he takes responsibility for the failures that led to abe's killing. and according to nhk, a plan was put in place involving dozens of police officers and security personnel, many plain clothed officers who were at the site at the time of the attack, but didn't identify anyone as suspicious. only reacting after the two fatal shots were fired. the national police agency, all they can do is now review security arrangements that were made for the former prime minister. obviously looking to the future to make sure like this doesn't happen again. >> reerappreciate the reporting. blake, thanks so much. two british health secretaries have launched bids to replace boris johnson and become the next prime minister.

jeremy manhunt fohunt formally hat into the ring. he also ran in 2019. and gentsajid javid also declar his election. the opposition labour party is threatening to bring a threat of no confidence against johnson as soon as monday if he isn't forced out as caretaker prime minister immediately. the justice department has released troubling new details about the january 6 attack on the u.s. capitol and the extensive planning by one right wing extremist group. according to a new filing, at least one member of the oathkeepers brought explosives to an area just outside washington and at least three chapters of the group held training camps before then focused on military tactics. another member allegedly had a handwritten document headlined death list, it included the name

of a georgia election official and their family member. the revelations come just hours after a key witness testified before the january 6 committee, former trump white house counsel pat cipollone. a spas man says he provided new information and critical testimony. marshall cohen has details. >> reporter: donald trump's white house counsel pat cipollone spent more than seven hours testifying to the january 6 select committee. now, that in its own right was a real breakthrough for the panel because cipollone had resisted doing a formal deposition for more than a year. but he finally agreed to testify recently after a series of damaging revelations at previous public hearings. now, throughout his tenure as white house counsel, cipollone often found himself pushing back against the more extreme members of donald trump's orbit. and he was a firsthand witness to several of the make or break

moments for american democracy was on the line. for instance, cipollone was there when some of trump's outside advisers raised the idea of declaring martial law. he was there when some of trump's advisers encouraged him to use the military to seize voting machines. and cipollone was there when trump nearly appointed a well-known conspiracy theorist to look for unhinged voter fraud theories. perhaps most importantly cipollone was in the white house on january 6 and previous witnesses have test fified abou his efforts to stop trump from marching to the capitol. and he warned others that they would have blood on their hands if trump did not intervene during the violence insurrection. now, cipollone's deposition was videotaped and the committee will get its first chance on tuesday to publicly release some of the footage. tuesday's hearing is expected to focus on the far right extremist

groups that were a huge part of trump's efforts to overturn the election. the oathkeepers, the proud boys, 93 percenters, many of their members stormed the capitol and some have been charged with sedition, an extremely serious crime. the hearing on tuesday will delve into the connections between these militants and some of the key players in donald trump's orbit. marshall cohen, cnn, washington. emergency crews are scrambling to reach victims trapped under a collapsed building in ukraine after a russian strike took down the building. and abortion rights supporters protested in the u.s. capital this weekend, one of many demonstrations since the ruling two weeks ago. we'll have a report from washington ahead. let it pull you.

past the doubt. past the pain.n. and past your limits.. no matter r what, we go on. biofreeze.

a deadly russian rocket attack in the east of ukraine, at least four dead and five

others injured after a rocket hit an apartment building in donetsk. more than 30 others are believed to be trapped in the rubble of the collapsed five story building. meanwhile six missiles hit mykolaiv earlier on saturday striking drens sresidential hom businesses. this video shows where a missile fell tearing a building to pieces. but ukrainians are hitting back. a military target about 90 kilometers to the southeast blew up stockpiles near the city of kherson. but in the northeast, have a look at this. ukraine says that is the moment a russian missile slammed in to kharkiv on saturday injuring at least four people. ukraine has pushed russians away from the second largest city, but artillery attacks have increased. and as the war grinds on, some ukrainian recruits are cutting their teeth on military skills in the u kflt. they are part of the first group

of volunteers to start a training group run by the military. some 10,000 ukrainians are expected to be trained in the coming months. the defense minister calls it the next phase in the support for ukraine. scott mclean is monitoring the developments in ukraine including that rocket attack in donetsk. and he is joining us from kyiv. let's talk about that horrific attack that has people trapped in the rubble. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah, so the little information that we have is coming to us from the local governor. he says that there were two or three rocket strikes in this area. he believes two of them at least hit that apartment building. as you mentioned, the latest numbers are that four people were killed, five injured, but the more concerning part of this is the people who may be trapped underneath that rubble. if you look at the pictures from this area, it shows that an entire section of this apartment building has been completely

reduced to rubble. it is difficult to imagine anyone could have possibly survived that, though the rescue crews on scene say that they actually have managed to make contact with two people who are trapped beneath there. it is not clear how many more there might be, it seems like 30 or more than 30 is the worst case scenario, but remember this happened in the evening, so it is possible that not everyone was home. it is also possible given the rest of the building looks to be largely intact that some people may have survived if they were in other parts of the building or if they were in the basement. you will remember that strike on the theater back in mariupol in march, it took a direct hit and yet you had people who emerged alive from the basement. now, this strike is in an area that has taken a real licking from the russians. they have struggled to move the frontline forward into donetsk,

so they have been shelling and bombing everything that they possibly can. yesterday the russians claim that they hit a warehouse containing howitzers that are used by the ukrainian military. they also say that in that same set of strikes, that they hit at least 30 ukrainian soldiers who had been shelling the russian side of the frontline from residential areas. as far as we know, these are completely separate incidents. it is not clear -- it is not clear how many soldiers may have actually been killed. all we know from the ukrainian side is they say the russians actually struck a rail station or a piece of rail infrastructure, kim. >> all right. and then scott, turning to the wider situation across the country, what is the latest? >> reporter: in the donetsk region, it seems that the russians are by and large in control of luhansk. and so now local officials there

say that there are some 300,000 people who are internally displaced. obviously the government has to figure out how to house all of those people, it is an enormous challenge. in the northern part of the country, the frontline hasn't moved a whole lot in the last couple of weeks, but we're seeing these rocketed strikes like the one that we saw yesterday. and then in the southern part of the country, this is the area where the expectation is the fighting is going to be the most intense over the next couple of days. you mentioned it earlier. both sides exchanged fire yesterday, hitting targets in mykolaiv and then also kherson, the russian-occupied part of that area about 30 miles or so away. so yesterday we had the ukrainian officials warning people who were in these parts of the occupied territory that they ought to evacuate even if it means going further into russian territory toward crimea or everyn russia itself because

we're starting to see the situation heat up there already. >> all right. really appreciate you keeping an eye on everything in ukraine. scott mclean, thanks so much. u.s. president signs an executive order protecting abortion access, but he says the most powerful response has to come from the about ale lot res ballot box. and also turmoil in sri lanka where demonstrators stormed the president's residence. more details on that next. she's feeling the power of listerine. he's feeling it. yep, them too. it's an invigorating rush... ...zapping millions of germs in seconds. for that one-o-of-a-kind whoa... ...which leaves you u feeling... ahahhhhhhh listerine. f feel the whoa!

welcome back. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." the sri lanka president and prime minister say that they will resign after tens of thousands of people stormed their residences to protect the country's economic crisis. and just now four cabinet members have also resigned. this comes after months of protests across the south asian nation that reached unprecedented levels on saturday. at one point more than 100,000 people converged outside the president's palace calling for his resignation. the prime minister says he is willing to make way for an all-party government to take over. sri lanka's parliamentary speaker is calling for calm. for more, let's bring in a former bureau chief for the german news magazine and also

author of this book "sri lanka the new country" which includes counts of her time covering their civil war. you've written extensively about the country. the anger that has been brewing, it has been brewing for a while now. but did you expect to see anything like this? >> thanks for having me on your show. no, i've covered the country for 30 years and i've seen bloody screen scenes during the civil war. but i haven't seen it of this magnitude. so it is new but it has been going on for months and it was bound to do the climax that you saw in the previous days especially when the presidential official residence was stormed by protestors and later the prime minister's official residence was actually set on fire. so, yes, these are devastating scenes the likes of which i've never seen before.

>> now, sir lankans are facing shortages of everything from medicine to fuel, residents have been urged to stay home to save gas. how bad are things on the streets for the average sir lankan? >> it is terrible. i was there in may, i was reporting live for many channels out of there and it was bad already. people waiting this lines who have to earn to maintain their families. and there was no gasoline, no cooking gas. so there were people, really elderly people waiting in long lines,kilometers. on average people waited about two days then and now people are waiting for five days and six days, schools have been shut the past two weeks. so kids are just sitting around waiting for school buses that will never arrive because there is no gasoline. and the anger has just spilled

out over on to the streets and the protests which were relatively peaceful up to now, now you are seeing what you are seeing. they can no longer be called entirely peaceful. there is an element of aggression there. and i'm afraid if that aggression continues, sri lanka will see repercussions just to control the crowds. >> are you expecting things to flare up again? >> i certainly am. i'm afraid that sri lanka is now going to -- there is sort of a lull before the storm if you like. because the prime minister as you said has offered to resign. the president is going to resign. but all that is going to take a couple days because up to -- by then the opposition, they have to put in place an interim administration. and that can carry on negotiations with the international monetary fund and

that is the crux of the whole crisis. if those talks stall again, the relief and any kind of bailout package will just take that much longer. i'm afraid there is no unity within the sir lankan opposition. and so that is the key problem. everyone is going into meeting rooms and trying to patch together some sort of an administration. but i'm afraid that it is not likely to be an administration that can put up united face to the imf and ensure that the talks ten. so sri lanka is staring at a starvation crisis and perhaps also the risk of being called a failed state. and that is grave. >> that is what i was going to ask, if they don't get their act together here, what are the consequences? you talk about starvation. how serious are they on the brink here? >> very serious because the problem lies, you know, in the

fact that sri lanka manufactures little or nothing on its own. countries like india or china, they have a large manufacturing base. in times of crisis, theree domestic goods to fall back on. but sri lanka imports everything and you need foreign exchange and is that the one thing that sri lanka has ran short of now. there are countries like india and china which are helping sri lanka, india with nearly $4 billion of bridge financing. and also one of the largest petroleum companies is refueling their passenger jets just to keep tourism partially of a value in sri lanka because that is one of the big earners of revenue in sri lanka. but as i said, if they don't meet the demands of the imf, they are also quite wary, the imf would like more guarantees to come forth from the sri lanka

government and also would like to see an administration with a certain amount of stability. so all eyes are on those very opposition politicians who have been promising to revive the economy should they be elected to power. so this is their golden taunt. they -- opportunity. they have to ensure that talks ten and there are some good names in the opposition, some well-known economists. so one can only hope that they come on board and at least they put on the effort now in order to continue with negotiations with the imf. because if that doesn't happen, then i'm afraid -- i really don't know how it will play itself out, if sri lanka is declared a failed state because that will leave the country open to all kinds of negotiations and

perhaps arm twisting which may not be to the liking of the sir lankans themselves given where they are located in the indian ocean and very strategic cross roads where shipping lanes converge. so there is likely to be a lot arm twisting if they are named a failed state. >> so much at stake here. we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for your analysis. u.s. president biden is defending his upcoming visit to sa saudi arabia despite his pledge to make the kingdom a pariah after the murder of journalist jamal khashoggi in 2018. intelligence strongly suggests that the killing was ordered by crown prince bin salman but the president argues that the trip is vital to american interests.

he said it is my job to keep our country strong and secure. we have to counter russia's aggression, put ourselves in position to compete with china and work with stability in the region of the world, so we have to engage in countries that can impact those outcomes. saudi arabia is one of them and when i meet with saudi leaders on friday, my aim will be to strengthen a strategic partnership going forward that is based on mutual interests and responsibilities while also holding true to fundamental american values. abortion rights supporters demonstrated in washington, d.c. this weekend. they called on leaders to do everything that they can to protect access to the procedure. at least two dozen u.s. states mainly run by republicans have moved to ban abortion outright or limit it severely in the wake

of the supreme court ruling. among them mississippi and louisiana. abortion services have ended in both states now that so-called trigger laws passed by state legislatures are in effect. meantime north dakota's only abortion clinic is suing to block enforcement of that state's trigger laws arguing that it violates the state's constitution. head of the national women's law center talks about the legal uncertainty that exists in the wake of the supreme court ruling. >> i hope that the department of justice will speak more and provide clarity, clarity for providers, but also clarity that these rogue states can't undo things that are at the federal level. and in the meantime, we are working our best to ensure that as many people are as safe as possible. >> house democrats will introduce two bills protecting

abortion access this weekend at president signed an executive order friday and he said that advocates have to do one thing in november, vote. and jeremy diamond is traveling with the president. >> reporter: one day after president biden signed an executive order seeking to protect women's access to reproductive health care, protests from abortion rights activists are continuing. the problem is in rehoboth beach for the weekend, but it is clear that that growing call from advocates for the president do more is not an 3w abating becau new executive order that he signed friday, it does direct the secretary of health and human services to take steps to protect access to medication abortion, to try to protect patient privacy and security, it also establishes a new inner agency task force that will include the health and human ser is services secretary and they

also include actions that they have already underlined. so you are seeing a lot of frustration among abortion rights activists who would like the president to take more decisive action. head of the gender policy council made very clear on friday that they understand those frustrations but their power has limits. >> i know it feels frustrating because we're taking action and then asking for more, a. you can't solve by executive action what the supreme court has done. the supreme court has taken away a constitutional right that was precedent for nearly 50 years and i think that we all need to be mindful he is very mindful, we're all very mindful that that can't be solved by executive action alone. >> reporter: and that is ultimate ultimately the president's message as well, one that we heard from him on friday where he made clear that he is taking steps via executive action amid pressure from abortion rights activists and of course his party's base, but at the end of the day, he believes

that it is up to voters to get out in november and elect more pro-choice democrats to congress who are willing to carve out the filibuster and then try to codify the rights that were previously enshrined in roe v. wade to ensure that women do have access to abortion across the country. jeremy diamond, traveling with the president in rehoboth beach, delaware. one of the most notorious nazis is in a new documentary that debunks his claim that he was just following orders.s. th. ♪ where your dad waited for his dad to c come home from the factory. is this where they gathered on their front steps, with fats domino on the breeze... ancestry can guide you to family discoveries in the 1950 census. see what you can uncover at ancestry.

his role in the holocaust but his own words tell a very different story. hadas gold reports. >> reporter: when adolf eichmann stood trial in 1961, he claimed that he didn't know the extent of the holocaust and was just following orders. but a few years earlier in 1957 while hiding in argentina, eichmann spent hours boasting about his role, all recorded on tapes meant for memoirs. now after decades under wraps, the israeli documentary "the devil's confession" is allowing the world to hear eichmann in his own voice as actors reason act the recording sessions .

in 1960, he was apprehended in a v covert operation bringing him to israel to stand trial after which he was ultimately executed. prosecutors had transcripts but eichmann claimed his words were distorted. >> they are very afraid and very to this day of what will be the use of the real voice of adolf eichmann. eventually they gave us the permission because they knew that it is going to be handled in a good direction. >> reporter: with so few survivors still alive to tell their stories, film marmmakers

so guess where that heat is headed, yes, and it is going to be searingly hot in the desert. even the desert could see temperatures that are extraordinary and we'll be looking at that the next several day. the one light of relief is that there may be sometarts to pick the next few days. still hot and humid, but we have the languishing weather system that has been draped across the ohio river valley, it sagged to the south and now it will move to the gulf coast and that will trigger things for storms and cooling things down. but it for shreveport, la fayette, houston over towards austin and dallas, the seseerin heat will continue there. and so very hot, muggy, sticky forecast. also across the central plains,
