hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. i'm rosemary church. just ahead here on "cnn newsroom," air-raid sirens going off in kyiv this morning. civilians warned to seek shelter as russian drones target ukraine's capital. more never before seen video of the january 6th attack on the u.s. capitol. some candidates are already sowing doubt about the integritiy of the upcoming election. plus -- it's now been a month of tense often violent nationwide protests in iran, and now the iranian president is accusing the united states of inciting chaos.

thanks for being with us. we are following developments out of ukraine where explosions continue to be heard in central kyiv. the first blast came just hours ago, and one official says russia is now attacking the capital with kamikaze drones. cnn's clarissa ward is in kyiv and updated us on the situation just a short time ago. >> reporter: this started about 6:45 this morning. the second explosion was by far the loudest seeming to indicate it was a central location within the city. the mayor of kyiv on his telegram channel said a couple of the blasts occurred in the -- district advising people to essentially stay in their shelters until the air-raid was finished and saying that emergency services had been sent to the site. but the more detailed update

that we've been given now by the chief of staff for the office of the presidency is that the capital was attacked in his words, quote, ckamikaze drones. and goes onto say in his statement the russians think this will help them, we need more air defense as soon as possible, no time for small action. no word yet on casualties, on whether anyone was hurt or killed possibly in these attacks. obviously last monday's barrage is very fresh in everyone's minds here. so just a reminder that things remain grim and difficult here in the capital. >> in the meantime a senior ukrainian official says sunday marked a deadly day for civilians in southern and eastern ukraine. at least ten civilians were

killed and 14 injured with most of the deaths being reported in the donetsk region. russian attacks were also reported in the zaporizhzhia, kharkiv, and kherson regions. and while the fighting drags on ukraine's ambassador to the u.s. spoke about the more urgent need for more weapons. >> we still need all the weapons we are talking about with air defense being a priority after these horrible strikes we're all also seeing return and not only to select cities but everywhere in ukraine and especially in kyiv and infrastructure before the winter. unfortunately, this systems difficult to produce and but we're doing everything possible to spit out not only the delivery but the ordering of the systems. >> good morning to you, claire. so russia again using iranian kamikaze drones on kyiv this

morning. what does moscow gain from dropping bombs so far from the combat field? >> rosemary, we've seen an uptick in russia's use of this type of drone, a disposable weapon designed to attack behind enemy lines and destroyed in the process. it allows them to obviously hit different places all at once or quick succession after the attack on the kerch bridge that happen over the course of the last week. u.s. intelligence revealed over the summer russia had been buying drones from iran and trained on them. it's believed according to defense officials that they entered the battlefield in ukraine towards the end of the summer. russia, by the way, also has its own domestic comkiesy drones as well, but this is clearly as you just pointed out with that guest

a reason why ukraine is calling more intensively for air defense systems as this increasingly becomes part of moscow's play book. >> and clear we are apparently looking at some of the first vision coming in on that kamikaze drone footage, so we will continue of course to bring you all the details and bring all our viewers all the details. it's pretty difficult to work out quite honestly from that vision, but this is the first video we're getting in of these kamikaze drone attacks in kyiv. and claire, nato and russia, intend to have separate long planned exercises of their nuclear forces despite increased tensions as the war in ukraine grinds on. what more are you learning about that? >> yeah, as we saw on both sides these are regular annual exercises, part of this delicate balance keeping up the nuclear

deterrent but comes at a time when russia's saber rattling has come when putin annexed in his words these territories in ukraine part of russia and promised to defend them with all means. we've now had warnings as well from the u.s. side president biden warning of a potential misstep or miscalculation that could as he put it lead to armageddon, and the national security advisor jake sullivan also warned about this over the weekend on cnn's "state of the union" saying there was really no gray area, no type of nuclear weapon or use of nuclear weapon that would be considered more or less dangerous. take a listen. >> the use of a nuclear weapon on the battlefield on ukraine is a the use of a nuclear weapon on the battlefield in ukraine, and we're not going to slice the salami. so the notion there's somehow differences in use here i think is a dangerous notion from our perspective. >> the u.s. and other nato

allies will of course be closely monitoring the russian exercises which roughly translates and set to take place some time before the end of this month. meanwhile nato will hold exercises starting monday and 14 countries and 60 aircraft? cluding usb52 bomber but not according to u.s. officials include live bombs. >> claire sebastian with that live report joining us from london. many thanks. well, cnn has obtained new video from the january 6th capitol riot that was subpoenaed by the house select committee from british documentary filmmaker alex holder. the video you're about to see was never released to the public until sunday. and you will hear donald trump's supporters rallying behind the former president. a warning, though, some of this

footage includes graphic language. >> i've never in my life been so angry at 534 pieces of shit up here. they're the roaches in the capitol. we've got to get the roaches out, all of them. every one of them -- and i never thought i would be this mad at a country that i was so proud of. it pissses me off but i'm proud to be here. >> that's right, and i'm proud to call him my president. he's the best thing that ever happened to this country. and you know what? i'm going to stand by him to the end. >> you go, girl. >> that's right. >> i'll tell you these are demon possessed men up here. they're trying to take over our country with communist china. >> you know pence is mad, right?

pence is mad. >> this new video rounds out a week that saw the last public hearing of the january 6th committee before the mid-term elections. that hearing on thursday ended with a dramatic flourish, a unanimous vote subpoena donald trump. the question now, of course, will he comply? listen as two members of it committee weigh in. >> we haven't decided that. we're expected to come in because he has a legal obligation to come in. of course he also had a legal obligation to see that the laws were faithfully executed which he completely ignored on january 6th, so we'll see. >> do you believe the justice department if the president refuses should hold him in criminal contempt? >> well, that's a bridge we cross if we have to get there. look, we well recognize the fact because of the committee only

being able to exist until the end of this congressional year because that was the mandate, we're in a bit of a time limit here. and as we're wrapping up the investigation we're also pursuing new leads, in fact, and we want to speak to the president. >> the filmmaker behind that newly released video, alex holder, testified before the house committee earlier this year about his experience making a documentary on trump's re-election campaign. cnn's jim acosta asked holder to weigh in on those experiences and his feelings toward the former president and his supporters. here's part of their conversation. >> this isn't a one-off moment where we can sort of push it under the carpet and move on. this is something that's absolutely extraordinary and horrific and came from the united states president who is still starting this rhetoric, this dangerous rhetoric and never ending. and i think it needs to be -- it

really needs to be understood why these people went there and the power he had and the power of the presidency and the power he had to make these people go and die for him is something that needs to be understood for sure. >> and cnn law enforcement analyst michael fanone was nearly killed by rioters january 6th while working as a police officer. he had a concussion and now dealing with a brain disorder and post traumatic stress. cnn asked him to weigh in on that newly released video of the rioters. take a listen. >> ultimately we're all responsible for our own actions, and ignorance is not a defense when you participate in an insurrection to overthrow the government. that being said, you know, one of the reasons why i've been out here speaking publicly about

accountability for january 6th is that while we've, you know, made arrests and we're prosecuting or the department of justice is prosecuting the 850 plus individuals that committed crimes on the capitol grounds that day, we still haven't hold the -- excuse me, held the political leaders accountable for the rhetoric they used, the lies that they spewed. and ultimately what i believe the select committee has shown us was a attempt by the president and his allies to defraud the american people. >> we want to turn now to the u.s. mid-term elections with just over three weeks to go until election day. nearly 2 million americans have already voted with another 120 million to go. a new cnn polling analysis finds americans are almost evenly divided over which party, democrats or republicans, should control congress. and before any votes are counted

some candidates are already casting doubts about the integrity of the upcoming election. take a listen to the republican candidate for governor in arizona. >> let's look forward, then. would you accept the results of the election in your election? would you accept the results? >> i came on here thinking we were going to talk about the issues facing arizonians right now. >> we did. let's talk about the 2022 election. will you accept the results of your election, ms. lake? >> i'm running against a twice convicted racist who cost the taxpayers $3 million because of her hatred of people of color. >> my question is will you accept the results of your election in november? >> i'm going to win the election and i'm going to accept that result. >> if you lose, will you accept that? >> i'm going to win the election and i will accept that result. >> all right, well let's get some perspective on this crucial election. joining me now from los angeles

is ron brownstein, a senior political analyst at cnn. >> a republican nominee for governor lake repeatedly refusing to say she'd accept election results if she were to lose. how big a threat to that is democracy in this country given she's not the only republican making those threats? >> the magnitude we're facing to american democracy and the basic functioning is the greatest it's been since the civil war and maybe ever. i mean, kerri lake is hardly alone. analyses by different organizations have conclude there are literally hundreds -- hundreds of republican candidates running for office up and down the ballot in november who deny the realities of the 2020 election and parrot trump's lies about widespread voter fraud. and there's been a great deal of

focus on the question of how much threat we face in the 2024 election of a full-scale constitutional crisis. kerri's lakes remarks today were a reminder of what may soon come next month if in fact in some of these close races these election deniers refuse to accept the results and try to rally their supporters against them. >> meantime president biden is back in his home state of delaware after a four-day tour out west in oregon and colorado. but he didn't include the battleground states of arizona and nevada. why not? >> well, because president biden's uh-uh proval rating in those states is probably too low to be of much help to democratic candidates or at least they decided. this one month out, three weeks out from the election we are in an extraordinary circumstance. democratic candidates in these statewide races for governor and senator in many cases are levitating above low approval

ratings for biden much more than we've seen presidents do in their own party for the last 20 years. arizona and nevada, colorado even, pennsylvania, georgia, all these states wesk, michigan, president biden's approval rating is at 40% or below. we just don't have a lot of examples in recent american political history of candidates from the president's party winning mid-term elections in states where his approval rating is that low. for example, in 2018 republican candidates lost every state in which trump's approval rating was at 48% or below much less 40%. and the fact these democrats are still competing enmany cases ahead, basically even is a testament how many voters are uneasy about the values of the modern republican party. but it is an open question whether they continue to escape

this undertow for another three weeks. and it remains, you know, a real challenge for democrats trying to avoid -- >> what about the iowa senate race, where the longest serving republican senator chuck grassly holds a narrow lead over the democrat mike franken. that's according to a new poll. what's going on there, and what do you think will likely be the outcome? >> well, no one has been watching iowa, i can tell you that, rose. and i'm struck the pollster who did this it was her poll that showed in 2020 the republican senator in iowa further ahead than people thought. that was really the first ring of the bell to suggest democrats were not going to make the widespread gains in the senate many in the party had been hoping in states like north carolina and others. look, it is still a very hard climb in iowa for a democrat at this point. it's a state that's essentially

90% or 90 plus percent of the voters are white, the majority as you know become a core republican group. when you look at this call it tells you why the overall environment is so close this year. but even in iowa the democrat is leading among women, among suburban voters, less religiously devout secular. and despite 9% inflation and despite 60% or more of the public saying they don't approve the way biden has handled inflation, crime, and the border, that coalition is largely sticking -- in the end it's a tough hill for democrats to get over the top in iowa, but if that coalition is holding together that well in iowa, it explains to me at least why democrats remain so competitive in so many other states that are

a little more favorable to them despite the negative on the economy. >> of course according to some reports transport secretary pete buttigieg is the most requested surrogate, apparently on the campaign trail even ahead of vice president kamala harris. what might that signal, do you think? >> well, i think buttigieg is someone who has shown the ability to talk to voters outside the democratic coalition. you know, most of these top races are in swing states where simply rallying the base was not enough to win, not enough to win in michigan, pennsylvania or wisconsin or arizona or georgia. you want someone who can make arguments that appeal beyond your core supporters. vice president harris is probably a very strong surrogate when crur trying to turn out more base democrats, but if you're trying to talk to center right voters and pete buttigieg is probably the one democrat who's been most comfortable going on fox over the years and

finding a way to make arguments that can offer some opportunity, some opening of reaching center right voters. and i suspect it's largely those skills and that positioning and imagery that makes him such an attractive surrogate at this point because those are the places where democrats -- where the battle for the senate and the governorships and maybe even the house will be decided. >> yeah, three more weeks to go and early voting already under way. ron brownstein, many thanks for joining us. >> thanks for having me. and still to come we are learning more about a fire that killed at least four prisoners in a prison in iran. we'll have more details just ahead. ain, easy-to-use tools, and paper trading toto help sharpen your skills, you can stay on n top of the market from wherever you are. power e*trade's easy-to-use tools make complex trading less complicated. custom scans help you find new trading opportunities. while an earnings tool helps you plan your trades

in tehran casualties are now being reported from saturday's fire inside a prison where iran's political dissidents are usually held. iranian authorities blame the prisoners for starting the fire and say it's not connected to the nationwide protests against the governor. cnn's naddia bashir has more. >> reporter: several prisoners have been confirmed dead and several others injured after a fire broke out on saturday

according to state media. the facility in tehran has gained infamy for the detention of political prisoners including human rights activists, lawyers, journalists and professors as well as foreign nationals. while cnn is not able to independently verify what caused the fire, some details have emerged from pro-reform organizations. in footage obtained by an activist group gunfire and alarms have can be heard in the background as flames engulfed the prison complex. meanwhile an outlet reported on saturday a source in the prison said a revolt had taken place in part of the facility and a fire subsequently ensued. now, government authorities on saturday were quick to assert that the situation had been brought under control, but the security official telling state media that the fire started after a group of thugs set fire to a clothing warehouse in the complex adding the so-called rioters response had been separated from other detainees.

of course while the iranian regime claims the fire is not connected to the protest movement sweeping the country, it is impossible to ignore the context here. the incident comes at a time when the regime is facing one of its toughest challenges in years with protests not only gaining momentum but also morphing into a much broader call for regime change. on saturday u.s. president joe biden expressed his solidarity with the iranian people drawing criticism from iran's foreign ministry spokesman who said sunday iran remains unphased by the intervention of foreign politicians and would not give into the u.s. government's, quote, cruel sanctions and absurd threats. this, of course, as the regime's brutal and deadly crack down on protesters and any sign of dissent for that matter continues across the country. >> u.s. president joe biden says the u.s. stands are iran's

protesters and is calling on tehran to, quote, end the violence against its own citizens as they protest against the government in the wake of mahsa amini's death. mr. biden's remarks sparked an angry response from iran's president on sunday. >> translator: it is our belief that america is behind the majority of destruction, terror, riots, and chaos in the region and the world. it affirms our belief and the world's beliefs that americans are anchored and upset by every innovation, any happiness or good that happens to iran. still to come police believe they have caught the man responsible for a series of deadly shootings that terrorized a california town for more than a year. we'll have the details for you next.

a man suspected of the shooting deaths of six people in stockton is due in a california court on tuesday. police believe 43-year-old wesley bradley is the serial killer they've been tracking for months, they say he was, quote, out hunting and on a mission to kill when they arrested him early saturday morning. cnn's camilla benell has more now on the story. >> reporter: there were two things that helped authorities make an arrest. they say it was thanks to the tips, the help from the community, and just old-fashioned police work. they say thanks to all of those tips they were able to zero in on one possible suspect. once they had that suspect they started following him.

they knew where he lived and they were able to find those patterns. according to authorities he was out either early in the morning or late at night. he would go to dark places or to parks. and on saturday around 2:00 in the morning they say that's exactly what he was doing. he would move around, look, stop, and then move again. that's when authorities decided to arrest him. now local authorities here just being thankful for all the tips and all the help from the community. here's what the district attorney had to say. >> this crime was solved because we're stock tonians, because you don't come to our house and bring this kind of rain of terror and not mobilize 350,000 people, 780,000 in this whole entire county, mobilize, mobilize and capture this individual whose reign of terror is all over. >> according to police he had a

mask on his neck and had a gun. this is something asked of the police chief and he said he still did not know, but we do know he has a permanent record, and we are waiting to hear what charges he will be facing. those will be announced on tuesday when he has his first court appearance. ten years in power, no end in sight. xi jinping's plan to make china great again has setup his grip on power. ♪ ♪ ♪

across the united kingdom supporters of plant-based foods dumped out containers of milk in the middle of grocery stores. the animal rebellion group says they're protesting the government's lack of support for farmers who transition to a

plant-based future. elsewhere activists from the group just stop oil got colorful with their protests splashing orange paint in front of a luxury car showroom. they're demanding the government halt all new oil and gas licenses. well, china's communist leaders and political elites have gathered for day two of the 20th party congress. xi jinping opened this event on sunday like he has in the past laying out his nationalistic vision for the country's future. but this year is unlike any other because after ten years in power xi is poised to be selected for an unprecedented third term as party leader. it's a watershed moment for modern china and as salina wang reports, one that was years in the making. >> reporter: from a nation of farming villages to sprawling

metropolises, in recent history no country modernized as rapidly as china and in just one decade no person has changed it more than xi jinping. his image inescapable, his key message make china great again, but above all else obey and follow his lead. when he took control of the chinese communist party in 2012 there was hope that the relatively low-key leader would make china's economy and society more liberal, but xi had a different vision -- restore the country to its former glory with his communist party firmly at its center. >> xi jinping sits on top of the party, the party sit on top of china, and china sits on top of the world. that's basically the program. >> reporter: xi's program is investing heavily in infrastructure and reasserted

party control over business and society, building the world's most sophisticated surveillance state, quashing peoples freedoms during the pandemic with brutal lockdowns. xi jinping crushed tremdreams o democracy in hong kong, oversaw the internment of up to 2 million uyghurs and minorities in -- and china tells its people these actions are long overdue. fueled by the narrative that after 100 years of subjugation by for youer powers in the 19th and 20th centuries, china is finally assuming its rightful place in the world. anyone who disagrees is blamed for trying to undermine china's rise is quickly censored or even jailed. >> he's going back when china

was the greatest civilization and the rest of the world just followed the leadership of china. >> that framing has ripple effects around the world. china no longer believes it needs to play by american-led international rules, where the u.s. tries to take china on in trade, technology or human rights -- >> that's simply reinforces the sense of china under siege from western powers. i think it has a visceral emotional appeal in china. >> reporter: the country is building its own multilateral institutions that are friendlier to autocrats. china grows ever closer to russia unified by a common foe. in xi jinping's china dream the country is glorious and strong with the communist party ruling 1.4 billion people and shaping a new world order. salina wang, cnn, hong kong. >> for our international viewers

frightening scenes as a grass fire broke out at a fall festival on a farm in texas. no one was injured, but more than 70 vehicles were destroyed. fire officials believe it started when someone dropped a cigarette on the ground. they're still investigating and looking for whoever was responsible. the area is under a burn ban because of dry conditions there. residents of jackson, mississippi, are being hit with massive water bills in the middle of a months long water crisis. one woman told cnn she was shocked when the city sent her a bill for nearly $4,000. she says the tap water is still brown and the pressure is low, a problem many families in the city are facing since the water plant under went repairs. the jackson city president says water billing, quote, has been a shortcoming of the city for way too long, and to reach out to the city if they believe their bill is incorrect.

well, another issue they're facing nationwide is food insecurity. it's a problem that gets worse as inflation keeps rising. cnn's nadia romero spent the day at a church that operates a food pantry outside atlanta. they're now seeing thousand more cars. >> reporter: hundreds of families lined up for help some of them four hours before this drive-thru food pantry started in a suburb of atlanta over the weekend. >> you have absolutely no idea how many people are suffering in silence having no clue as to how they're going to feed and take care of their families. >> reporter: every saturday since january 2020 back then just 30 cars per week, but now up to 3,000 cars per week. the pandemic and rising

inflation providing a one-two punch on peoples wallets. >> it is the pandemic, and everything is going up. >> double and triple. i -- i paid 85 cents a dozen for eggs, and now they're $3. it's crazy. >> real ridiculous, you know, because you go in the super market and things get expensive. >> food prices more than alarming especially for families living paycheck to paycheck. last month the bureau of labor statistics showing just how much staple goods will cost you this year compared today 2021. bread jumped 16%, millm ubup 17%, flour 23% more expensive and egg prices with the most dramatic increase of nearly 40%. inflation a big talking point on the campaign trail as we near the mid-term elections. >> the out of control inflation. inflation is a global problem. >> reporter: off the campaign trail and back to the food line

>> my grandmother taught me a principle that when it's family it's not charity. >> reporter: when it comes to inflation on the campaign trail for republicans it's very simple. their message is that the rising inflation issue is the blame of president biden and democrats. but when democrats are asked about inflation on the campaign trail many of them say it's a problem with supply chain issues and corporate greed, but we know from a recent cnn poll that this is a very important issue for voters. nadia romero, cnn, atlanta. the u.s. fraternal order of police reports 50 police officers have been killed by gunfire so far this year. two of them were killed friday during a shootout in connecticut. a warning the video you're about to see is disturbing. the state inspector general's office released this body cam footage from the only officer to leave the shootout alive. authorities responded to an emergency call at the suspect's residence only to have him fire well over 80 rounds at the

officers killing two before the third officer was able to take the suspect down with one shot. police say it was a deliberate attempt to lure law enforcement to the scene. continued drought in the u.s. midwest has caused the mississippi river's level to drop significantly in some places. in some areas hikers are able to walk to islands previously not reachable by foot. to make matters worse, the river's basin is forecast to see below avr rain through the end of the year. so let's turn to our meteorologist pedram javaheri. he joins us with more on this. how dire is the situation? when you talk about the mississippi water levels at record lows. >> it's the worst we've seen in quite some time, rosemary. some 70 plus gauges below or nearing those record values and upwards of 40 of them across the mississippi. you see some of the scenes play

out there, some of these locations that have really not seen land are essentially being exposed in recent weeks because of how dry it's been. notice in july about 22% of oklahoma was experiencing drought. half a percent of the state of arkansas was experiencing drought. taking that number up to 99% in oklahoma, 70% in arizona, just showing you how rapidly things have expanded in recent days. and the last couple of days we've seen beneficial tape fall in this region. arkansas seeing a couple of inches rain come down. colder air across the eastern half of the united states, as many as 70 record cool temps possible in the coming days and about 60 million americans dealing with the excessive temps and a cool spots at 18 degrees. notice what happens here. colder air dies south from canada, and just like that we

moderate out rather quickly and the warmth pushes back in. by this time next week the same areas very cold in the coming days will possibly be above average. a big time shiflt. 76 degrees on monday drops to 55 degrees and notice a gradual and steady incline goes back up above where they're going to be on monday. so this time of year, rosemary, you see this transition between the seasons where you see the seesaw of these temperatures. but autumn certainly is on the horizon. >> absolutely. pedram javaheri many thanks as always. if you thought your last flight was long imagine one that lasts for 12 years. cnn's christian fisher reports a nasa spacecraft is an incredibly long mission in the name of the
