hello and a warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and around the world. i'm christina mack far land in for max foster. >> claiming you have money that you do not have does not amount to the art of the deal, it's the art of the steal. this war is about extinguishing ukraine's right to exist, plain and simple. the fmoc raised the policy

rate by 3/4 of a percentage rate and we expect ongoing increases will be appropriate. hello and welcome. thursday, september 22nd. 9 a.m. in london. 4 a.m. in washington and new york. he faces a new lawsuit and unprecedented number of investigations. it ruled the justice department can resume the criminal investigation and review of classified documents seized from his mar-a-lago home and resort during an fbi search. that coming hours after the new york attorney general announced a sweeping lawsuit against three of trump's children and trump

himself. they're accused of staggering amounts and they say the disclaimer was included on loan applications. >> it basically says to an institution. you are going to loan money, you have to make sure you get your own appraisers, own lawyers, everything. these are banks that have the best lawyers in the world, shawn. by the way, they got paid back. just so you know. >> everything was paid back? nobody got harmed? >> i never got a default. i paid them back. we have a lot of cash. >> jessica schneider is tracking details in washington. >> claiming you have money that you do not have does not amount to the art of the deal, it's the art of the steal. >> reporter: new york's attorney general letitia james announcing she is suing former president donald trump and his three children for lying to lenders.

>> they violated several state criminal laws, including falsifying business records, issuing false financial statements, insurance fraud and engaging in a conspiracy to commit each of these state law violations. >> reporter: james is seeking drastic remedies. her lawsuit demands trump and his family forfeit the nearly quarter billion dollars they gained over the years and she's looking to shut down trump's business dealings in new york. >> we're asking the court to among other things permanently bar mr. trump, donald trump jr., ivanka trump, eric trump from serving as an officer in any corporation, similar entity registered or lie as soon ased in new york.

>> new york's attorney general filed the 200 plus page lawsuit after a three year long investigation. james flagging possible federal crimes. >> we are referring those federal violations that we've uncovered to the united states attorney to the southern district of new york and the internal revenue service. >> james pointed to trump's fifth avenue apartment as an example of the fraud. trump allegedly claimed it was 30,000 square feet when it was actually 11,000 and he valued it at 327 million. >> to this date no apartment in new york city has ever sold for close to that amount. >> reporter: james says the motive was to entice banks to loan them more money and to allow trump and his companies to pay less in taxes. >> obviously there's tax fraud going on given the massive inflation of these values. >> reporter: trump has rebuffed james's investigation. >> my company is bigger, stronger, far greater asset. >> reporter: and he lashed out

on his truth social page shortly after the lawsuit was filed. she is a fraud who campaigned on a get trump platform but james saying trump cannot dismiss what her office uncovered as some sort of good faith mistake. >> white collar financial crime is not a victimless crime. everyday people cannot lie to a bank, and if they did, the government would throw the book at them. why should this be any different? >> reporter: the new york attorney general is also alleging trump and his three eldest children lied more than 200 times when it came to asset valuations on statements over the course of ten years. now of course this is a civil case that's been filed in new york state court. it would be up to other entities like the manhattan da's office or the new york city court to determine whether charges should be filed. the wife of u.s. supreme court justice clarence thomas will be questioned by the congressional panel looking into

the capital insurrection. that's according to an attorney for ginny thomas who said she's agreed to an interview with the investigators. she's expected to meet with them in the coming weeks. thomas who is a conservative activist has encouraged them to fight president biden's electoral win. she texted with mark meadows about overturning the election before january 6th. she said that her professional life is separate from her husband's. we are following a developing story out of zaporizhzhia, ukraine, where the city council secretary reports new shelling in the past few hours. he says civilian infrastructure has been destroyed and there are casualties. cnn cannot independently verify those claims. the shelling comes just days before a planned referendum in the region to vote on becoming part of russia. russian president putin's

mobilization of 300,000 troops is unlikely to shift the tide of the war in ukraine. the group says it will take weeks or months to get new troops ready for combat and that russian reservists are poorly trained to begin with. the united nations, u.s. president joe biden called russia's invasion a shameless violation of the charter and blasted vladimir putin for making irresponsible nuclear threats. >> this war is about extinguishing ukraine's right to exist as a state, plain and simple. ukraine's right to exist as a people. wherever you are, wherever you live, whatever you belief, that should not -- that should make your blood run cold. a nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.

>> ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy use d his address to strip russia of its veto power and punish them. >> a special tribunal should be created to punish russia. these will become signal to all would be aggressors that they must value peace or be brought to responsibility by the world. >> vladimir putin's plans for ukraines don't stop with the newly announced draft. he's also threatening to use all means necessary including nuclear weapons to defend the territory. cnn's nick peyton walsh. >> reporter: his biggest statement since he declared war delayed 12 hours and less drastic than feared but still a

huge move by vladimir putin who used this sort of volunteer recruitment process declaring the first forced mobilization in russia even if it is partial since world war ii. >> translator: i repeat, we are talking only about partial mobilization. in other words, only military reservists, primarily those who served in the armed forces and have specific military occupational specialties. >> reporter: behind it all, the nuclear threat falsely claiming the west had threatened russia so russia would use everything it had to defend its territorial integrity. >> translator: this is not a bluff. the citizens of russia can be sure that the territorial integrity of our homeland, our independence and freedom will be ensured. i emphasize this again with all the means at our disposal and those that try to black mail us with nuclear weapons should know

the prevailing winds can turn in their direction. >> reporter: the mobilization is a huge undertaking when they've already failed to do so over the past six months. it will not be quick. >> translator: 300,000 reservists will be called up. i want to say straightaway that this work will not be carried out as a one off but in a systematic planned manner as i've already said. >> reporter: unease already palpable on moscow streets even if protests was as usual, muted and suppressed. you always feel worried in moments like this, he said, because you have a wife and kids and you think about that. i would not want to leave them in case something happens. all of this loud rhetoric to the backdrop of a bid to sustain unity where president biden hit back. >> putin claims he had to act because russia was threatened but no one threatened russia and

no one other than russia sought conflict. >> reporter: the big question amid all the rhetoric and threats of escalation is does this change matters on the ground? still, ukraine pushes forward despite slight russian gains around bakhmut. russia still struggles to match its status as a nuclear power with real progress and strategy on the ground. putin's bid to appear strong perhaps a reminder of how weak this war of choice has left him. nick peyton walsh, cnn, creme ma tors being, ukraine. >> claire sebastian joins me here. nick touched on that piece. how russians responded to that speech and that announcement was always going to be telling. is it fair to say it sparked a degree of panic? >> i think panic is the word. it's not as widespread as you might think looking at the pictures.

the protests have been concentrated in moscow and st. petersburg. the biggest cities, the ones where they are most likely to have access. but the context of this is important because this is in a russia where the sense has been heavily cracked down on. they criminalized even calling it a war. they're now cracking down even further on the military service. introducing legislation, pushing it through at the moment that criminalizes desertion or refusing the draft in the context of mobilization and significant to note because we're hearing a report from obd info that is tracking the number of arrests which is currently above 1300. they're saying at least four police stations in moscow, people were handed prescription papers when they were arrested at these protests. one person threatened with prosecution for refusing the draft. make no mistake, this is forced

mobilization going on. >> away from this we're hearing more reports of shelling at the zaporizhzhia nuclear site. it's one of the regions where russia is mapping a referendum. >> shelling has been reported by the secretary. he said civil infrastructure has been destroyed. there have been casualties. we haven't been able to verify this. this is significant because zaporizhzhia is one of the regions where they're saying they're going to hold rev 49er ren da on joining russia. zaporizhzhia not currently held by russia. they are continuing to annex a region that they don't have full control at the moment. it looks like they're putting pressure on it ahead of that. meanwhile, if you thought that any of this would prevent the rest of the world from continuing to support ukraine, that doesn't seem to be the case. we're hearing multiple sort of notes of support coming out of the u.n. including from the eu

which says it is considering null sanctions, an eighth package of sanctions in russia. >> very interesting to see all of the reaction to this in the last 24 hours. claire, thank you. well, more than 250 pows are free again following a prisoner swap between ukraine and russia. the exchange, they fought a grueling battle while being hold up at the plant for weeks before surrendering in may. in return 55 prisoners went from ukraine to russia. the swap involved 10 international prisoners of war seen here arriving in saudi arabia which helped broker the exchange. they include two americans, a moroccan, and swedish national. coming up, another aggressive move by the u.s. federal reserve to tame inflation sent wall street tumbling and a check of the global markets when we come back. plus, islands in the

caribbean are slowly recovering from hurricane fiona. the storm hasn't stopped its destructive path yet. pedram. >> reporter: it has plenty to offer on where it's headed, the impacts in store and it's still a category 4. that's precisely where we expect the storm to be 24 hours from now. it will traverse over much warmer waters and the impact could be somewhat significant across bermuda as it makes a close run at the island and across eastern canada and a lot of activity we'll break down in a few minutes in the tropics as well.

and stark moves in wall street. the interest rate hike. the dow dropping. that rate hike. the fed made it clear, richard

quest is at the new york stock exchange with more on wall street's reaction. the market had been well warned the 3/4% rate rise was on the cards, but when it arrived it still took everybody with a bit of a shock. after all, this is the third time in a row that the fed has raised rates by such a large amount. and you've got to go back decades to find even one rate rise of 3/4 of a percent. it's an indication of how worried jerome powell and the fed are about inflation. so more rate rises are on the way. the fed is clear they will not have any truck with inflation. >> my main message has not changed at all since jackson hole. the fmoc is strongly resolved to bring inflation down to 2% and we will keep at it until the job is done. >> reporter: the market gave its judgment down more than 500

points deeply worried about what would come next. in other words, we know where rates are going, we just don't know how fast it will be. ric richard quest, cnn, london. let's have a check at how markets in asia are joining us. kristie lu stout joining us. what do you see? >> reporter: global markets have a feeling of the pressure after another jumbo rate hike. trading day is over. it has been a sea of red. let's bring up the data for you. you will see in japan the benchmark nikkei ended up down. the seoul kospi down. the shanghai composite fell 2.7%. here in hong kong the hang seng down 1.6%. also from asia this day we have been monitoring u.s. futures. if we show that data chart for you, you will see that it all signals a down open, a lower

open when wall street opens momentarily -- let me take that back. check it out. it's bouncing up a quarter of 1%. nasdaq up .2 of 1%. in europe we had seen earlier they were tracking asia lower. if we could bring that data up we can see where that stands. the ftse 100 is down .35%. the xetra dax improving. the cac carant. on wednesday the fed, as expected, raised interest rates by 3/4 of a percentage point for the third consecutive time. it signaled more tightening, more rate hikes to come all in a bid to tame and battle inflation which in the united states is at a high not seen in about four dec decades. here in asia investors have been looking very closely at another central bank, the bank of japan, which earlier today ended a

two-day policy meeting and bucking the trend that we've been seeing all over the world of central banks hiking interest rates. they made the decision to maintain ultra low interest rates there in japan and it's because of that policy gap, that policy difference between the bank of japan and the u.s. federal reserve. we're seeing that push the yen, japanese currency, to a low not seen in 27 years. back to you, christina. >> a real mixed picture. thanks very much. gasoline is still very expensive, but not nearly what it was 100 days ago when it topped $5 a gallon which is a record. since then the price at the pump has dropped every day for 98 straight days but on wednesday that streak was broken when the average ticked up 1 penny and $3.68. as the holiday shopping season draws closer, many stores are preparing to hire more workers as they usually do. walmart, the largest retailer in the u.s., announced it would

bring in 44,000 employees, both permanent and temporary. inflation has down played expectations with many stores counting overstock on big ticket items like televisions and furniture. now we're continuing to follow hurricane fiona currently churning through the open atlantic. the storm is moving north, this category 4 storm, after ripping through the caribbean. it's poised to brush through bermuda thursday and friday with parts of the atlantic canada at risk. pedram javaheri joining me now. what can we expect? >> this is such a large system. we measured it at 600 miles in the cloud field from the northern end to southern end. essentially you have equivalent to what is roughly the state of alaska out here. it is a category 4 still maintaining that intensity.

the concern with the storm system is it's not going to weaken and progress farther towards the north. any time you have a storm of this magnitude over open waters, you bet you're going to generate wave heights. it could get to the top of the charts up to 60 plus feet over open waters. makes a close run and it speaks to the intensity of the storm system. we think the center of the storm will miss the island by at least 100 plus, 150 miles early friday morning and what's left of it makes another landfall across portions of nova scotia, east of halifax. notice sea surface temperatures, in degree celsius. 30 or so degrees celsius. 86 fahrenheit. it will skirt past bermuda friday morning. wind speeds will be around 100

miles an hour. this will be around one of the stronger storms they've seen impacting canada. you'll notice wind gusts across portions of canada could be up to 118 miles per hour as the system roars ashore early saturday morning. heavy rainfall, gusty winds, significant storm surge will all be an issue. go back to the year 2000, you see a handful of storms that have arrived across this region of canada with such winds. open waters, plenty of activity. to be frank a lot of these look to remain open over new waters. this system we're watching carefully because it makes it an interesting scenario depending how accurate the models play out to be. it looks like it has what it takes to possibly end up at the gulf of mexico within a week's time. we'll follow this. >> pedram javaheri following this closely. thanks very much.

i have nothing. the cries from a woman in the dominican republic who lost everything to hurricane fiona as the clouds are now clearing, people across the caribbean are finally getting a good look at the destruction left in the path of this storm. turks and caicos and the dominican republic both took a beating. it's still recovering from 2017's hurricane maria. here you can see a bridge captured before the storm. this is after the deadly hurricane swept through. flood waters crashing over the bridge and into nearby fields. at least three bridges across that river were washed out. u.s. disaster -- approved a major disaster declaration on tuesday. less than 1/3 have electricity. residents say the recovery process should be smoother. >> translator: this wasn't

maria. it was supposed to be a more fluid process. there's no system. no electricity. no water in puerto rico. that's the problem we have. >> translator: i'm so used to it. it doesn't affect me. there have been moments i weep. now, no, nothing. flooding and i keep going. >> if you want be to help those affected by hurricane fiona go to cnn.com/impact. you'll find a list of organizations ready to help you make a difference. up next, a lawsuit filed in new york is now adding to the growing list of legal troubles for former u.s. president donald trump. we'll have the details. ron desantis flew undocumented migrants to massachusetts. now the move is threatening to have him in legal trouble.

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm christina mack far land. if you're just joining us let me bring you up to date with our top stories. president zelenskyy is speaking about it. plus the new york attorney general wants to bar donald trump and three of his adult children from running a business in the state. wil leticia james said trump and his

children filed false documents. cnn's brian todd has the details from washington. from mar-a-lago to the january 6th probe to the election grand jury in georgia to the trump organization cases in new york, a multitude of potentially explosive investigations are targeting donald trump from many directions. >> it's pretty remarkable that you have multiple different states, the federal government and congress all investigating the same person at once but that person is the former president of the united states. >> reporter: in the mar-a-lago investigation into whether trump mishandled documents, this week a court appointed special master was skeptical that the files the fbi found on his estate might have been declassified. beyond mar-a-lago a georgia prosecutor is looking into allegations that trump and his allies tried to overturn joe biden's 2020 victory in georgia by allegedly trying to set up fake electors and trying to conjure up more votes for trump.

the accusations against trump in georgia could make that the most likely case where he would face prosecution. >> even if he didn't have a direct hand in some of the efforts that he was part of the planning, that he directed these efforts. that's why in a lot of ways it is the most serious because when it comes to the election, it's the one with the most teeth. >> reporter: in new york not only has the state attorney general just accused trump's company from manipulating the value of the properties but the new york city da's tax case begins trial next month after already scoring one guilty plea and trump accuser e. jean carroll told the court she intents to file another suit accusing trump of battery in the 1990s, an accusation trump has repeatedly denied. then there's the house january 6th investigation into whether trump incited the mob to attack the capitol which announced

another public hearing in the coming days to air more evidence but could any of these probes cripple trump politically? >> he has told a story to his base that goes like this, everybody hates me. everybody hates me and my family. they're jealous of us. they don't understand us and they just are plain evil. so don't pay attention to any of those prosecuting authorities, only pay attention to the story that i've told you, and i think there are 70 to 75 million people who believe the story and are going to cling to it and they won't care that he's in trouble with the law. >> reporter: donald trump has rejected each of these investigations characterizing them as facets of a witch hunt designed to take him down. he has called the mar-a-lago investigation a weaponization of the justice system. called the january 6th committee a kangaroo court and he has slammed the investigators in the new york and georgia probes as being politically motivated. brian todd, cnn, washington.

right wing conspiracy theorists alex jones is lashing out yet again over the lawsuits he's facing from the victim's families. jones has been spending time outside the courthouse in connecticut while testimony continues. he's not attending the trial because he has to do his radio show. he slams the judge because she's forcing him to say he's guilty and a liar. heart wrenching testimony continued from victims' families as they described the harassment they've endured due to jones's false claims. legal actions are piling up against florida governor ron desantis over his decision to fly undocumented migrants to massachusetts. they expect to sue desantis over the move saying it broke state law. that's on the heels of a separate class action lawsuit by some of the migrants. that suit accuses desantis and others of defrauding them for

political gain. the commissioners slammed the police. >> i think lying to vulnerable people for whatever the purpose might be can just never be the right thing. >> and as legal battles brew over migrants, their growing numbers are putting them in crisis mode. rosa flores reports. >> reporter: these are the struggles. >> he hasn't taken off the rosary in the entire journey. >> reporter: of migrants who recently arrived in el paso. he's from venezuela. he and his four children settled in for a night at the airport to fly to atlanta to begin a new life. he says his wife is partially paralyzed, that's why she didn't make the journey. >> reporter: he's fleeing nicaragua.

her 4-year-old daughter has wiped away her tears more than she can remember. carlos guzman from venezuela waits at the bus station holding a parting gift from his 2-year-old daughter. they're part of the unprecedented surge in migration that el paso's deputy administrator says is testing the infrastructure here. >> where are we? >> this is the city of el paso's welcoming center. >> reporter: he said a month ago border patrol was releasing 250 migrants daily into el paso after being processed. now about a thousand and it's creating a shelter issue. >> all of the ngos, shelters at capacity. we're putting them up in hotels. >> and a transportation bottleneck. >> we have the transportation system, greyhound. >> border patrol has been apprehending on average about 1500 migrants a day in the el paso region, a spike from last month's 900. >> what you see behind me is

mexico. this is one of the routes that migrants use to cross into the united states. once they realized that the spike in migration was not a one-day anomaly, they sped up a mobile processing center under the bridge. the buses are equipped with mobile processing technology. >> this is where federal agents determine if migrants stay or go back. a process that chris magnus says is more complicated now with the recent increase in migrants from three countries. >> the cubans, nicaraguans and venezuelans are not subject to title 42 so they cannot be removed like migrants from some other countries. >> reporter: the migrants we talked to say they survived the dangerous journey to the u.s. >> she says that she witnessed a rape during the journey. >> reporter: and don't want to stay in el paso. >> where are you going? >> atlanta, georgia.

>> delgado is going to atlanta. while in el paso, they need orientation and that's why they opened the migrant welcome center three weeks ago where multiple buses, chartered and paid for by the city of el paso are chartered to go to chicago and new york. she's hoping to reunite with family and has no money. inside the airport at midnight an odd sense of normalcy the delgado children haven't seen in a month. access to crayons and toys. >> how difficult is it for you to know that your children don't have their mother? >> it's really tough to grow up without a mother. his mother died when he was 9. >> reporter: despite the struggles for these three families. >> very thankful. >> reporter: just being on umpt s. soil is a dream come true.

the question is, will the migrants be allowed to stay in the united states and the answer to that question is, it depends. they all have to go through immigration proceedings and asylum or other types of relief are not guaranteed. rosa flores, cnn, el paso, texas. >> reporting from rosa flores. the man who orchestrated the largest corruption scandal in u.s. naval history is now in police custody in venezuela. fat leonard was arrested tuesday morning at the airport in caracas. in 2015 leonard francis pled guilty to bribery and fraud charges and was sentenced this month but u.s. marshals said he took off his ankle bracelet three weeks before his sentencing. they say the u.s. government has started proceedings with venezuela hoping to extradite him back to the united states. now the death of a young iranian woman arrested for not

last week's death of a young iranian woman while in police custody has sparked protests. anger has been building for days with protesters claim are more rights for women. they have blocked internet access in many places. at least eight protesters have been reported killed in the unrest. public outrage has spread to neighboring turkey where thousands demonstrated outside

the iranian consulate. women have been publicly cutting off their hair to protest the strict dress code. let's bring in selma abdel a indonesia. we have seen remarkable images of bravery from women. they're burning the hadjibs, cutting their hair. it's spreading to multiple cities. >> huge acts of defiance. women cutting off their hair, shouting death to the dictator. there is one video that we cannot independently verify. a woman walking through the street without her head scarf on chanting against the government in a country that is extremely strict. that has been met with a brutal crackdown. we've seen water tanks being used on people. at least eight people have died so far including a teenager.

several others wounded. people losing their eyes because pellets are being fired at these protesters according to right scripts. i think if you look at the scope and scale of the demonstrations and the response from authorities, you begin to understand why this is a threat to the authorities. it's not just about masa. this is about women's rights, of course this is about the oppression in iran but this is a time of an economic downturn in the country. people are financially struggling. rather than the government focusing on that, what they've done is expanded the morality police. they've cracked down on the hijab. these families are kurdish. they're taking place in the kurdish areas. her father just yesterday giving an interview to the bbc essentially blaming the authorities for the death of his daughter saying he was not allowed to see her in custody accusing the authorities of

causing bruising on her body. he saw bruises on her feet before she was buried. so there's a lot of elements at play here and for now that crackdown intensifying. authorities shutting down the internet. shutting down access to apps like instagram and others. the videos will continue to seep out. >> seems to be the case. thank you for following it closely, thelma. all eyes are on tennis star roger federer as he gets set for the latest match of his professional career. his message to the fans next. to. so when you need to show your cold who's boss, grab mucinex all-in-one... and get back to your rhythm. feel the power. beat t the symptoms fast. your mission: stand up to moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis or active psoriatic arthritis and... take.t. on. with rinvoq. rinvoq is a once-daily pill
