12:00 am
hello and a warm welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. you're watching us in the "cnn newsroom." i'm paula newton. a tropical storm on the cusp of becoming a hurricane as it churns in the caribbean. people in florida are taking no chances and preparing early. we are live in the cnn weather center with the latest. plus -- frustration in one of russia's poorest regions as people fight back against
12:01 am
putin's plan to mobilize thousands more troops for his war in ukraine. and a historic election in italy where the most far-right ruling coalition since mussolini looks set to tak e power. and we begin this hour with tropical storm ian that's churning in the caribbean and gaining strengthen as it moves towards cuba. now it's expected to rapidly intensify before hitting western cuba with strong winds and dangerous storm surges. now, ian is expected to turn into a major hurricane tuesday and forecast to hit florida midweek. people in florida are already preparing for the storm, filling sandbags trying to prevent flooding. here's more now from the mayor. >> of course there's a high degree of worry whenever we have
12:02 am
a named storm that we are in the trajectory or in the path of that storm. but we are preparing. you know, we like to rehearse and practice for these, but we certainly don't want it be on the main stage of ian. >> now, floridians are stocking up on emergency essentials like batteries. and although ian's path is still uncertain it could impact the state. >> we have activated the florida national guard. they are activating 2,500 guardsmen at the moment, and if there's a need we can do more, and our state eoc is at a level 1. >> meantime hurricane warnings have been issued for western cuba. cnn's patrick oppmann has more
12:03 am
now. >> reporter: certainly in the low-lying areas that are close to the water most likely people will have be evacuated from those areas. west of havana is mostly agricultural areas, and we've heard throughout the day on sunday people are readying their farms, are taking their livestock to areas that will be safer for them, are trying to collect crops. there's a lot of tobacco grown in this area. because they know when the heavy winds and rain come in, that is when they could lose their crops. so they've been warned to get ready in advance of this powerful storm's arrival. the cuban government has not really given specific instructions to people. they're watching where this storm goes, if it will stay offshore or if it will make landfall in cuban territory. certainly if it comes to cuba as a major hurricane, a category 3 or above, it could cause quite a bit of damage here. people have been hoping they
12:04 am
would get through this hurricane season in cuba without a hurricane striking the island. that does not appear to be the case, though, and cubans are very concerned because already the cuban economy has taken so many hits throughout the last year or so with the result of the pandemic, essentially ending for more than a year all tourism to this island, the impact of u.s. sanctions, bad economic decisions made by the cuban government. so this storm if if hits parts of the island where food is grown, where tobacco is grown, it'll only damage the economy that much harder. so cubans are wondering if the impacts of the storm will be too much for them to bear. patrick oppmann, cnn, havana. >> pedram javaheri joins us from the cnn weather center.
12:05 am
there's always that guessing game. >> three or four days out from landfall to the united states certainly a lot could change. the margin of error that far-out over 100 miles. across portions of of the cayman islands the storm sits about 350 miles southwestern tip thereof cuba where we think landfall is possible as early as early tuesday morning. and notice hurricane warnings have been prompted across this region as well. the biggest concern with the storm system is it has every single element needed to flourish in this environmental condition. in fact, the warmest oceanic temperatures anywhere are in direct path here with sea temperatures well into the 80s. so it is going to strengthen. that's a concern. notice the storm surge threat, 9 to 14 feet. storm surge is the number one killer in all tropical systems, the most destructive feature is that elevated water level that
12:06 am
approaches these coastal communities. that's really going to be seeing the brunt across western cuba. and incredible storm surge across portions of of western florida as well, southwestern regions as much as 7 foot storm surge possible wednesday into thursday. the elevated terrain not as significant as portions of of central cuba, eastern cuba, we don't think this system will want to weaken quite a bit here. possibility it interacts with just a little bit of land. and don't fall in love with the central part of this track. that's something we watch very carefully. and it you notice it flourishes to possibly a category 4, a potentially lethal category 4 system here as it approaches western areas of florida. the last time they were impacted by a major hurricane back in 1921. with all the hurricanes we've seen across parts of florida in
12:07 am
decades, this particular region has not seen a strong this strong in really 100 years. quite a bit of population growth across this region as well, kind of leading you with what we started is the significant variability at this point within models. some want to take it to the west. some want to bring it to the east. we'll follow this as it the story progresses this week. >> that's why florida officials are saying take it seriously and prepare now. now to the aftermath of hurricane foy fiona. a body that was washed out to sea in canada has now been recovered. at least seven deaths. new eastern from eastern canada showing it trail of destruction left behind after fiona swept through the region. officials say priority now is restoring power and clearing roads right across the province. nearly 200 customers are still
12:08 am
without power and several homes were washed away. one of it strongest storms on record to hit canada's coast. in puerto rico meantime nearly half of customers still don't have power one week after hurricane fiona hit that island. new york city mayor eric adams was in puerto rico sunday surveying the damage left by the storms. the mayor travels to the dominican republic monday. the philippines is reeling after being slammed by a super typhoon sunday. noru has since been downgraded to a regular typhoon, but catastrophic flooding as you can see there filled the streets across the country, destroying homes and making cleanup increasingly difficult for residents. at least five rescue workers have reportedly died due to the storm. on sunday the storm battered the philippines with high waves and the philippine national weather service says it's the strongest typhoon the region has seen this year. now, we did see them first
12:09 am
in moscow. now we are seeing heated protests in some of russia's ethnic minority regions over the governor's mobilization order and the war in ukraine. this video shows women arguing with police in a predominantly muslim region about 1,000 miles from moscow. and in other confrontations there arrests have been reported. you see this video. it shows officers aggressively pushing back a crowd of protesters and also saw the anti-draft rally in the far eastern republic, another ethnic minority region more than 3,000 miles from moscow. authorities there have acknowledged some residents have been enlisted bimistake. to evade conscription many have fled. hundreds of cars have waited in line to get out. some men spoke about the challenges they faced getting through the last major russian city before the border.
12:10 am
>> translator: we paid $1,200 to be escorted to the point which is 300 kilometers before the russian checkpoint buzz if you wait in line leaving russia could take 72 hours. we made it in three hours. >> translator: our president having declared war to an adjacent state, having illegitimately annexed their state -- >> the officials say a prenomdominantly muslim group is also fleeing crimea to avoid the draft. they've been dispruporgtally targeted by russia's conscription. and she says thousands are seeking safety. here's how ukraine's president reacted.
12:11 am
>> translator: the criminal mobilization is being used by russia not only to extend the suffering of people in ukraine and to further destabilize the world but also to physically eliminate indigenous men living in territories controlled for now temporarily by the russian federation. >> help us get through all this claire sebastian joins us now. how difficult is it to ascertain if this is a broad-based movement with support or if we're seeing people be more vocal and in fact more dez prt to leave the country but they still remain a minority? >> yeah, i think they probably are still a minority. don't underestimate the power of this information echo chamber russia has created. the media and not free. it's even less free since the start of the war. russians are being fed of the reports ukrainians are pa
12:12 am
perpetrating against russians in ukraine. it takes incredible bravery to come out and protest not only in a climate that will crack down on freedom of speech where putin signed a law over the weekend for increasing penalties on things like evading the draft and desertion. there are several prongs to the crack down that we're seeing, and i think it is significant we're seeing more protests in the regions. cities like moscow and st. petersburg, people are much more likely to be able to access free information through things like vpn. according to activists groups affected by this draft not only the draft itself but also the chaos surrounding it as you noted the leaderer of that region said people have been mobilized eroan yosly. they don't have military experience and he wants them returned.
12:13 am
it's not just concentrated in the cities. i think this is part of the gamble of putin having brought the war which has so far not touched the every day lives of russian citizens to their door. i think he's seeing it play out now. but i still think he'll be able to get men to the front by force, by threat of imprisonment and by patriotism that still lingers there. definitely significant to see the outrage growing in these regions. >> yeah, especially to see the women among them, right? many times it is the spouses and mothers who literally will confront the people trying to put their family members on buses. it's been extraordinary to see. claire subas chan, thanks for following it for us. appreciate it. the u.k.'s prime minister is sharing her thoughts. she says vladimir putin likely didn't expect such a strong reaction from the world and it's time to stop listening to the russian president and pile more sanctions on russia. here's part of her exclusive conversation with cnn's jake
12:14 am
tapper. >> the reason putin is doing this is because he isn't winning. he made a strategic mistake invading ukraine. and i think he's being outsmarted by the ukrainians. we've seen ukrainians push back against the russian offensive, and i think he didn't anticipate the strength of reaction from the free world. and we should not be listening to his saber rattling and his bogus threats. instead what we need to do is continue to put sanctions on russia and continue to support the ukrainians because if putin is allowed to succeed, this wouldn't just send a terrible message in europe and of course huge threats to the ukrainian population themselves, but it also would send a message to
12:15 am
ot other authoritarian regimes around the world it's somehow acceptable to invade -- well, for example, well, it's somehow acceptable to invade a sovereign nation. so this is why it's so important we continue to be resolute. we don't listen to the saber rattling that we're hearing from putin, and we continue to back the ukrainians to the hill. and that's what i'm determined the united canikingdom will do. i know president biden is absolutely committed from the u.s. point of view. we work closely with our american allies and with the g7, and we'll continue to do so until ukraine prevails. still to come for us, meloni is widely expected tobe named italy's first female prime minister. what looks like the largest

the british pound keeps losing ground against the u.s. dollar, falling to a record low of just over $1.03 if you can believe it. you can see it's come off slightly from that low, now hovering around close to $1.07. but there are fears sterling could slide to parity one-to-one with the u.s. dollar. after a disastrous end of trading on friday, closing down nearly 500 points, basicallyphlet. the levels on friday were the dow's worst since november of 2020, that was stoked by investor fears of inflation and corrective actions by the fed to try and control it. now in italy exit polls shows europe's far right has another stunning win at the ballot box. the party on track for victory
12:21 am
as the official results are awaited. meloni will likely become the country's first female prime minister. and despite her political leanings, she told supporters she's ready to unite the country. listen. >> translator: it's important to understand if we're called to govern this nation we will do it for everyone. we will do it for every italian. we will do it with a goal of uniting this people. to highlight what unites them rather than what divides them. because the major objective we've always given ourselves in life and as a political force is that italians will once be be proud to be italian. >> a reminder those official results are still pending, but italy's democratic party has in fact already conceded. sunday's snap election comes as italy is facing a deepening political and economic crisis. the vote was triggered after the prime minister resigned in july when he failed to unite the government behind his economic policies. more now from cnn's barbie nado.
12:22 am
>> reporter: this coalition was led by the far right brothers of italy party led by giorgia meloni who's now on track to be italy's first female prime minister. this coalition was anchored -- the other anchor was the political legend who three times was elected to prime minister of this country. what this victory means is this will be the first time since the end of world war 2 and the fall of fascism that italy has been led by such a far-right leaning coalition government. cnn, rome. >> now, earlier i spoke with a
12:23 am
professor of political theory at columbia university, and she offered some perspective how melenoi may lead if she's named prime minister. listen. >> the coalition may be weak, and this may influence -- may push her to be more centrist and less radical. but from the point of view of economics and political decisions she's not as radical or as far right, and also because she cannot use this to do what she wants. there's no room for that, so she cannot really do what she wants in any case. but particularly now the perspective is not a strong government and perhaps a difficult to be put together in my view. >> and how does this work in terms of the complexion of
12:24 am
governments across europe? we're beginning to see that in sweden as well. when we think about europe and italy's place within it, do you think there will be more pressure to hold more right of center political opinions. >> the position towards putin in italy is very complex. it's not black or white both in the left or the right. but there is a conservative wind in europe both because of the covid and the crisis of energy, which means economic problems. so this affection with the europe of rights and the europe
12:25 am
of the beacon of rights in some sense it's in decline. now the sense is that the states -- nation states, they want to have more power. they want to have more ability to make decisions and they want to have europe helping them in their economy, in their sovereignty as they say. so i suspect this is not on an entire issue. >> our thanks there to nadia for her perspective. so wednesday will be a piv pivotal day for the january 6th committee investigating the capitol riot. members plan to hold what may be the last public hearing on capitol hill before the hearing releases its final report. members are being tight-lipped saying they do not plan to reveal know of that information
12:26 am
until wednesday. listen. >> is there actually significant new information in this hearing? >> i suppose that will be in the eye of the beholder. >> we're not disclosing yet what the focus will be. the public will see things it hasn't before but also understand information it has in a different context by seeing how it relates to other elements of this plot. >> so meantime a california representative zoe lofgren, democrat, announced the select committee will hear from donald trump or mike pence. here's more from lofgren. >> i think the former president has made clear he has no intention of coming in, so while we'd like to hear from both of them, i'm not expecting that we necessary will. the vice president had said publicly that he thought he might want to come in, so we were very encouraged by that. but since that time his people have walked it back. >> now, she also declined to
12:27 am
share details about the committee's upcoming hearing on wednesday only saying it would include new information for the public. demonstrators gathered in paris sunday to stand in solidarity with iranians protesting the death of mahsa amini. plus we are tracking tropical storm ian as it intensifies and moves towards florida and cuba. stay with us for more.
12:28 am
12:29 am
12:30 am
and welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm paula newton and you are watching "cnn newsroom." an update now on tropical storm
12:31 am
ian. it is churning in the caribbean and getting stronger as it moves towards western cuba. now, the forecast, a reminder it will become likely a hurricane monday and then strengthen further tuesday. a tropical storm warning has been issued for the florida keys as ian is expected to impact that area. and officials are urging people to get prepared now. anti-government protests continue meantime in iran sunday despite a crack down by security, arrests, and internet disruptions. what started as demonstrations over the death of 22-year-old mahsa amini in police custody now includes protests against the regime itself. meantime people around the world are showing outrage around amini's death. there were also demonstrations sunday in tehran and other cities to support the iranian
12:32 am
government and condemning the recent unrest. let's bring in the executive vice president of quincy institute for responsible state craft, and he joins me now from virginia. good to have your thoughts on this. you know with any of these up risings a central question is will they trigger any reform or just more repression? i mean in your opinion at this point of what you've seen, what would be the tipping point? would these protests have the potential to change anything? >> first of all, it's important to recognize that these protests are actually not asking for reforms. this is one of the things that separates these protests from earlier ones in which originally they were asking for changes in policy but later on oftentimes evolved into actually asking for the regime to fall altogether. this time around they've been asking for the regime to go.
12:33 am
even if the regime which i find very unlikely which were to meet the protesters halfway and agree to some reforms, it is not clear that would satisfy the protesters. >> i'm wondering if you think the regime actually believes its vulnerable in any way. president ibram has promised an investigation. what does that tell you about the posture of the regime at this hour? >> i'm not left with the impression quite yet that the regime actually understands the danger that it is in the sense that the population increasingly is willing to take to the streets to call for its downfall. but even if they may have some sort of false sense of security right now, reality is if they keep on repressing the
12:34 am
population, keep on refusing to meet the demands of protesters for simple dignity, even if they manage to clamp down on these protests, there's going to be more protests down the road. this is not a game that in the long run is winnable by simply relying on pure repression. >> and when we talk about pure repression, the internet really does feature in this. they have been trying to clamp down on communication in the country. do you believe that will work, and do you believe, you know, they are pointing to western countries including the united states saying they're being involved quite directly by trying to keep those internet links up in the country? >> that is definitely a narrative the regime is resorting to and in the past it was quite clear. but this is as a result of the
12:35 am
murder of a 22-year-old who was taken and accused of not wearing her hijab properly. this was really sparked from the inside, and even if the regime would try to make it appear it's supported from the outside, so far that seems not to have gotten any traction inside the country itself. >> we're seeing those lovely pictures of amini there on the screen, and i'm sure i've seen on social media women like her who live outside the country but in iran pleading as much as they can by showing solidarity by not wearing a head scarf and calling their hair and also saying their families are calling and messaging them and saying please stop, your life is in danger, you'll never be able to return to iran. is that an exaggeration or are these women risking a lot? >> they're risking a tremendous obviously, obviously. they're showing tremendous courage.
12:36 am
when you take a look at these images inside the country you can see a lot of the protesters are actually, very, very young. these were some of the people not even 10 years old when the 2009 protests took place. that's when more 2 million people took the streets of teheran. this is a generation that appears to have lost faith in the idea things can be reformed in iran and as a result are going for something much, much stronger which is to call for the end of the regime all together. whether that can succeed remains to be seen, of course. one of the things we should be looking for is to see not only if the protests shed but also if they change shape and form in the sense will there be strikes, will people close their doors tomorrow? things of that nature that can show it's not just the young people -- >> yes, so quite bold messages we're hearing from some unions
12:37 am
to have those general strikes. so indeed it'll be important to keep an eye on that in the coming hours and days. thank so much. appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. japan is preparing to say good-bye to assassinated former prime minister shinzo abe, but some people in the country say he shouldn't have a state funeral. we'll have a live report from tokyo.

12:41 am
venezuelan town at the border with columbia. raphael gomez, a former worker says back in 2015, this factory would produce about 1,000 pairs of shoes daily. when the border closed, he says, we could no longer import the raw materials we needed, which meant we had to shutdown. venezuelan president nicolas maduro, initially ordered part of the border shut-in 2015 after an incident which he claimed three members of his country's armed forces and one civilian were shot at the border, an incident that was never clarified. the sut down eventually spread to the entire border and happen amid years of bad blood between columbia's right-wing presidents and the venezuelan government controlled by leftists since the turn of the century when hugo chavez rose to power. all that changed last month when -- was sworn in as
12:42 am
president of manila. we would save the border, take it away from the mafia. we would industrialize it and border towns would thrive. then the candidate said for the columbian right it's not only about the border. back in february then-columbian vice president ramirez said she was concerned that military cooperation between venezuela and russia meant there was a risk that military equipment might end up in the hands of criminal groups at the border that threaten columbian security. when he took office in august pedro became columbia's first leftist president. last week it was clear the kremlin perceives this as a positive change. russian president vladimir putin called columbia a promising ally in latin america praising pedro
12:43 am
for being open to strengthening ties between the two countries. for the former national security advisor pedro's new foreign policy means columbia will join a new political and economic bloc of nations. what those of us in the previous government consider meddling they now interpret it as an alliance, he said. back at the border and far from politics business owners say they're ready for a reopening. i want to see more people like we used to have before the border closing and the pandemic, she said. she has already bought new chairs and tables for her restaurant. her hope of an economic boom is a sharp contrast with the fear many feel in bogota about what the thawing of relations may spell for the country's future.
12:44 am
japan is preparing for the state funeral of former prime minister shinzo abe on tuesday. now, abe was assassinated during a campaign speech in july, but some in japan do not believe he should get a state funeral. leaders from around the world will be attending the ceremony. cnn's blake essek joins me now from tokyo. i have to say it is complicated and nuanced, and yet from what i've seen on the streets there are people who are incredibly angry that is what perhaps is not a lot of money for japan is being spent on this funeral nonetheless. >> reporter: yeah, paula, when it comes to the celebration for a man who was equally revered and criticized here in japan i can tell you this remains a divided nation for many different reasons including the cost of the state funeral, abe's connection to the controversial unification church, the decision making process behind holding the state funeral and the political nature of this event
12:45 am
that's being paid for by the taxpayers. to put that into perspective there are roughly 700 foreign dignitaries planning to attend, among them several heads of state and u.s. vice president kamala harris who have already held or are planning to hold bilateral meetings with japanese officials while they're here in japan. that being said while the government says that the upcoming state funeral is meant to honor japan's longest serving prime minister simply hosted this event has instead created controversy. across japan the feeling of shock, sadness, and disbelief continues to be felt nearly two months after former prime minister shinzo abe was gunned down on the street while delivering a campaign speech. in the days that followed japan said its final good-bye to its longest serving prime minister. but as messages of condolence came pouring in from around the
12:46 am
world, current prime minister fumeo kishida made the decision to honor him by holding a state funeral. >> translator: by conducting the state funeral we are mourning former prime minister abe and showing our country's determination to resolutely defend democracy and not give into violence. >> reporter: that decision that opposition lawmakers say was made without consulting japan's parliament is expected to cost taxpayers more than 1.6 billion yen or nearly 12 million u.s. dollars. >> translator: prime minister kishida made this decision by himself. he didn't make a proper effort to reach a consensus that involved the voice of the citizens and the opposition parties. >> reporter: the prime minister defended his decision to lawmakers but admits his explanation was insufficient. as a result public opinion against holding a state funeral continues to mount. in fact, according to the latest
12:47 am
poll a slight majority of the public stands in opposition. while recently one man reportedly told police he was so against the event that he set himself on fire outside of prime minister kishida's residence. gatherings like this one protesting former prime minister shinzo abe's upcoming state funeral have been held on a regular basis since the government announced the plan back in july. although the specific reason for each person here varies, the underlying message remains the same. >> translator: i'm against the idea of holding a state funeral for anyone. >> translator: many people can't even eat right now. instead of spending billions of yen on this funeral, they can help the lives of many people. it's outrageous they choose to use it on something like this. >> reporter: while many people including the thousands gathered here at this event don't think it should happen, others say a state funeral is appropriate to honor abe's legacy. >> translator: i support the
12:48 am
state funeral. abe was an international statesman who attracted more people to japan. >> translator: his legacy is reflected in the way he raised japan's global profile, how he was able to implement a new law while facing opposition and how that law has become essential for maintaining peace and security. i think his past achievements for japan make a state funeral perfect for him. >> despite the public backlash appropriate or not, a state funeral for abe will take place. a polarizing figure in life and even in death as deep divisions about his leadership haven't disappeared. as for tomorrow's state funeral a divided nation will once again be on display with areas set aside for mourners to gather and lay flowers while at the same time multiple protests will be held, paula. >> and also as you pointed out so interesting with so many

tropical storm ian is churning in the caribbean and gaining strength as it moves toward western cuba and forecast to become a hurricane today and expected to turn into a major hurricane by tuesday. a tropical storm warning already has been issued for the florida keys as ian is expected to impact that area. and nasa officials have decided to wait until later today before deciding whether or not to move the artemis rocket for its own safety, and that would be to the vehicle assembly building. now, tuesday's scheduled artemis 1 launch was postponed last saturday over concerns of tropical storm ian. now officials review the weather data before making the final decision to roll back that rocket. now, it doesn't just sound like the plot from a hollywood movie. it was the plot of a hollywood movie, but i can assure you this apparently is now work of fiction. nasa is trying to redirect an
12:54 am
asteroid. it is preparing to caro out its first planetary defense test or dart. the goal is to try to knock an asteroid from its current path. now, a reminder there's no danger from this asteroid, but the mission is a test run just in case that hollywood plot comes to fruition. astrophysicist explains now why this mission is so important. >> i think it's one of the best ideas ever put into a space mission because built into it is the future security and safety of our species and of course other species on earth. so the day an asteroid is discovered headed towards us, you want to know that somebody has tested what it will take to deflect it. deflecting an asteroid is by far the most sensible, intelligent thing to do. so this is a test mission for that. we should have been doing it
12:55 am
decades ago. >> well, we're doing it now. you can watch a live broadcast of the mission on nasa's website from 6:00 p.m. eastern today. nasa will also hold a post-mission briefing. now, the u.s. team won its ninth consecutive presidents golf cup sunday, winning by a final score of 17 1/2 to 12 1/2. schauffele won in his match against canadian corey conners and clench the u.s. team's overall victory. looming over the tournamentwise the upstart saudi backed league. the u.s. has now won 12 out of 14 presidents cups. the next event will be held in montreal in 2024. and before we go the performer at the 20:23 s 2023 sl
