police say paul pelosi was struck with a hammer by a man who broke into the residence early friday. authorities still haven't determined a motive. but a source says the intruder was looking for the speaker. politicians from both sides from condemned the attack with president joe biden linking it to right wing extremism. here he is. >> enough is enough is enough. every person of great conscience needs to clearly and unambiguous by stand up against the violence in our policies. regardless what your politics are. >> authorities in san francisco are now preparing to file felony charges including attempted murder. they say the suspect is expected to be arraigned on tuesday. cnn's whitney wild has more on the investigation. >> our officers observed mr. pelosi and the suspect both holding a hammer. the suspect pulled the hammer away from mr. pelosi and violently assaulted him with it. our officers immediately tackled the suspect. >> reporter: speaker of the

house nancy pelosi's paul pelosi hospitaled after a man broke into the back of the san francisco home he shares with the speaker. place say the suspect attacked 82-year-old paul pelosi with a hammer. >> this is an active investigation. >> reporter: 2347's office saying the suspect, quote, acted with source while threatening his life demanding to see the suspect. saying where's nancy? he tried to tie up her husband until nancy got him. when san francisco police arrived, the assailant said he was waiting for nancy. >> attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon. elder abuse, burglary and several, several other additional felonies, the suspect has been identified as 43-year-old david depeppy. >> reporter: a review of his social media shows multiple

posts about social media including mike lindell claiming the 2220 election was stolen plus youtube videos saying democrat farce commission to investigation january 6th capitol riot collapses. her security team is robust but doesn't protect family members while she's away. now the police are on the ground along with the capitol police and the san francisco police department. >> motive for this attack is still being determined. >> reporter: the capitol police have a feed of security cameras at the home and caught the attack on video. christopher wray recently told cnn he sees a trend of people settling scores with violence and that's become way too normal. >> way, way too many people willing to take their social and psychological and political

grievances earnestly felt and manifests them through violence. and in our system, there's a right way and a wrong way, to express when you're angry or upset about something. >> nancy! nancy! >> reporter: something we saw on jaff when the rioters tried to hunt down speaker pelosi and trashed her office. sources tell cnn that the man was not known to capitol police and was not in any federal databases that track threats. whitney wild, cnn, washington. senate republican leader mitch mcconnell tweeted his outrage over the attack saying he was, quote you horrified and disgusted and that pelosi would make a full recovery. and mike pence who was the result of violence, denounced against members and their families. >> and here she is. >> this was an act of extreme violence, and i think we're looking at it at a time in our

country where there is so much discourse that is fueled by hate and division. and anyone professes to be a leader, i think, has to really understand the meaning and the impact of their words and their posture. >> last year, u.s. capitol police say they tracked well over 9,000 threats against members of congress and congressional property. some lawmakers have sought additional security for their families back home. sources say they're often told the agency doesn't have enough resources to fill those requests. senior political only lynn ron brownstein joins me from los angeles and he's also a senior editor at the "the atlantic." ron, it's difficult to extrapolate from one incident. we don't know the suspect or his

motive. but given what 00 we're hearing, all the warnings and so forth about the perceptions of election fraud leading to heightened threats of violence, what struck you most about this attack? >> well, that it was both extraordinary and somehow feels inevitable. i mean, this is a different country than it was a few years ago. before, frankly, donald trump came down the escalator. you know, we have seen far more proliferation of threats of violence and actual violence, again local public health officials, school board officials. obviously against election officials. we see all the resignations of election officials that face threats. a kidnapping attempt against the governor of michigan. there have been some incidents from the left, for example, aimed at the supreme court justice brett kavanaugh, but by and large, we're seeing what we're seeing today which are individuals that are marinating in the hermetically sealed world of right wing conspiracy

theories who are taking those sentiments out of the cyberworld, and into the real world. as i said, it is both ominous, but not entirely surprising, given the trajectory that we are on. >> so, then, what do you make of the republican reaction to this? i just want to play, just one example, virginia governor glenn you youngkin, here he is. >> listen speaker pelosi's husband there was break-in the house, but there's no room for violence, but we're going to send them back to california. >> just one totally tone-deaf there, but has the condemnation been strong enough, do you think? >> certainly, people condemn the specific act. but it if you look at what has happened people who study this extremism, for example, elizabeth newman secretary of

dhs under trump, has said the most important thing in trying to tamp down this kind of violence is for the leaders of the political movement, of the political side on which it is being waged to send a clear, unequivocal message that it's unacceptable. and we've heard anything but but. we've seen so many republican leaders who have tried to normalize the january 6th attack. we've seen kevin mccarthy the republican leader and likely next speaker of house, defend his caucus, like marjorie taylor greene who have used belligerent language and who in fact suggested in a video clip that nancy pelosi was guilty of treason. we're not seeing the unequivocal condemnation of this kind of extremism which i believe is largely because they fear that would anger trump. and as a result, the barriers between the mainstream republican party and this far right extremism are being eroded. and the consequences of that are

being seen in the kinds of events like today. >> yeah. the issue, as you mention, extends far beyond just lawmakers. i mean, poll workers as well, say they're facing increasing threats. and they say not enough is being done to protect them. the experts say extremists are changing tact from this national campaigns, these more local efforts to intimidate voters. before we talk about solutions, what effect do you think this might have on the midterms here? >> i think it's already a significant issue and potentially even bigger in 2024. today, we had a trump-appointed judge, federal judge, rule that the armed vigilantes who are surveilling voters as they exercise their constitutional rights in arizona to vote by mail and to deposit those ballots in drop boxes, that that those vigilantes can continue to, you know, sit outside of the

drop boxes in tactical gear, with weapons and so forth. and that, again, this is -- we're seeing, i think, the character of politics in america is changing. it is changing before our eyes. and we are seeing a low background hum of threats of violence and in more cases actual violence become woven into the fabric of our political life. and it is not clear at all, i mean, it's the opposite. i mean, it's clear that this is going to be escalate, unless there is a more forceful denuns yags of it, both by republican elected officials but also by law enforcement, so far on both fronts, i don't think we're seeing really enough to have confidence this is not going to get worse before it gets better. >> no easy solutions. we'll have to leave it on that depressing note. ron brownstein, thanks so much for your analysis. >> thank you. ♪ with u.s. midterm elections

more u.s. military aid will be headed to ukraine's way after a new announcement from the pentagon. it's sending a new batch of military equipment worth $275 million, including ammunition for the himars rocket launchers which have played a key role in the war.

biden administration has provided $18.5 million in assistance. canada is pitching in earning a thank you from president zelenskyy. he changed canada for new government-backed bonds designated to help fund the ukrainian government. and in ukraine itself, a battle on multiple fronts is under way right now. one is to keep the lights on after weeks of russian strike on its power system. president zelenskyy says electricity restrictions are in place for 4 million ukrainians. and it will take up to six weeks to fix all the damage. moscow say the situation will improve if he recognizes russia's claims it has annexed four ukrainian regions. the minister compares what he's doing to genocide, this is what he told cnn's becky anderson friday. >> of course. it's even more impossible to even discuss. and that's even more evidence

that all of these massive attacks on energy infrastructure was aimed to make terror to other people. and that is really an act of terror of russian state. >> you described it as energy genocide, sir? >> exactly. exactly. i mean, the main goal of this destruction is especially on the upcoming winter is to create problems for the civilians. it's not shelling which i would say targets some military base and accidentally targeted the energy infrastructure. so they aimed to destroy the energy infrastructure of the country before the winter. >> ukraine is turning up the pressure on iran to stop its suspected drone sales to moscow. ukrainian officials say russia has been using iranian drones to attack infrastructure across the country including its power system. on friday, ukraine's foreign

minister said he told his ukraine can counterparts to end sales to russia. iran repeated its denials that it's selling to moscow. ukrainians have struck down more than iranian drones in recent weeks. meanwhile -- ♪ >> some iranians in kyiv protested against the sales. saying those protests were painful to watch. moscow is ending its military mobilization. it was announced late last month to put 300,000 people in uniform. but it was beset by bureaucratic errors, protests and even attacks on officers and led to russians who fled abroad to avoid having to fight in ukraine. but russia's foreign minister told vladimir putin on friday that the campaign still accomplished what it was supposed to. here it is. >> translator: the dispatch of

citizens called for mobilization was completed today. draft notification to citizens have been discontinued. the tasks set by you to mobilize 300,000 people have been fulfilled. no additional have been supplied. >> we're keeping an eye on several other developments in ukraine at this hour. kyiv says its forces are practically in control of a major highway in the luhansk region northeast of lujan. and in the south, russia's claim it repelled a ukrainian drone attack on crimea. it's happening while they're prepare for a push to retake kherson. russia is shutting down hospitals and taking their equipment out of the city. our nic robertson is monitoring those developments from kyiv. and he joins us there. nic, let's start there with what i said about kherson. the situation very tense there

with the influx of russian soldiers. what more are you tell us? >> reporter: yeah, what ukrainian officials are saying is that the russian authorities are taking out anything of value from kherson so, leaving, essentially, an empty shell when ukrainian forces eventually take it. the hospital there, bearing in mind that kherson is the regional capital, so the hospital there is significantly provider of medical support for a very large community. so, stripping down the hospital, taking out all of the important equipment from there, and recognizing that kherson has an oncology unit, sort of a regional significance, russia is essentially denying ukrainian citizens of good medical care. downgrading the city, preparing, clearly, for a fight. they're pushing in reinforcements. their new conscripts that ukrainian authorities expect to

be sort of expended by the russian forces to try to defend the city. but it will not be a hollow victory for ukrainian authorities when they take the city. but it's going to cost them money to rebuild and restructure. what they see as the medical facilities and the other facilities, fire services, all of the important facilities in the city being stolen by russia is something that they want to stop. but the military, necessity of the military capability to take the city quickly just cannot outpace the way that russia is stripping out these civilian assets from the city. it's in the ukraine sights, but it's going to take some time to get there. >> now, nic, staying with russia and putin. he says that the russian military needs to make some adjustments based on these experiences in ukraine. so how could that affect the ukrainian military? >> these are adjustments that, perhaps, reflect more putin's

message at home than a reality on the battlefield. ukrainian forces don't feel that the recruits that are coming now are prepared for battle or equipped or battle. and there's a lot of evidence to support that. the sort of structural changes that putin might be alluding to here will take some sometime. the analysis is it will take some time to put into effect. the reality, it appears, in part what putin is doing is trying to sort of not shoulder responsibility for the lack of the military's readiness to take on ukrainian forces and their poor showing so far. and this is sort of pushing ton the military to say, you know, you need to do a better job. the way that the military has been used by president putin has been exceptionally costly in term of men and materiel, if there dissent in his military ranks about this type of criticism, we're not hearing

about it. but the inflection writ large when putin called for is several weeks ago, 300,000 men of military age to literally leave the country, there seems to be little confidence in putin's ability to run the army. and that he will get the sort of military that he wants. he's had decades to do it. and had thought that he had done it. many men in russia today don't believe that to be the case. >> all right. appreciate your analysis, nic robertson in kyiv. thanks so much. and still ahead here on "cnn newsroom," much more on the attack against nancy pelosi's husband. we'll take a look at the charges the suspect is facing. the possible motive for the attack. plus, more unrest in iran, as protests across the region are once again met with violence. we've got the details next. stay with us. to destroy 5x more p plaque ababove the gumline than floss. for a cleaner, healthier moutht. listerine.

and it's wrong. our elected officials are here to do the business of their cities, their counties, their states and this nation. their families don't sign up for this to be harmed. and it is wrong. and everybody should be disgusted about what happened this morning. >> politicians from both parties have condemned the attack with former vice president mike pence calling it an outrage. he's urging authorities to prosecute the attacker to the fullest extent of the law. the san francisco district attorney says they're preparing felony charges including attempted murder. >> well, right now, we know very little about pelosi's alleged attacker or his possible motive sources say david depape was not known to capitol police and weents in any federal database

that tracks domestic threats. charges against him include attempted homicide, assault with a deadly weapon, elder adduce and burglary. and his postings on social media include condyleation of the investigate into the capitol riot and memes on the far right. deputy mccabe will explain next if investigators want to know if he acted alone or ears were involved. here he is. >> they're really trying to drill down on what this individual's motives may have been, to get as much specificity on that as they can. but they're also very focused on trying to uncover whether there are other people who may have known what he was going to do, maybe like-minded individuals who could be planning similar acts. that's always the first priority that law enforcement has after any sort of attack. they want to see if they can stop the next one. the second one, the follow-on attack. they're going to do that by looking at this person's network

in its entirety. so, all the folks that he's been contacting either on text message or telephone calls, emails. people that he interacts with on social media, they, of course, want to look at his statements on social media and other electronic devices he might have. so there's a lot of work going on right now in the san francisco police department and also the fbi and capitol police. >> and the 42-year-old suspect is scheduled to be arraigned on tuesday. well, turning now to iran. another anti-government protest has been met with violence. videos posted to social media show protesters encountering gear as it and gunfire in the eastern city of zahedan on friday. a 12-year-old boy was shot. it's unclear who was doing the shooting. security forces were wounded by,

advantage of the situation in iran to take advantage of the violence. and the violence we saw in the southern city of shiraz. it's been claimed by the islamic state. they've identified three assailants who they say are foreign nationals and that is crucial for the regime pushing forward that this is in fact a concerted effort by foreign actors to create instability in the country. but, of course, we have heard numerous reports from human rights organizations, as well as speaking to people directly on the ground. this, of course, is not the case. we've seen mosts up and down the country every day now for six weeks. protesters chanting death to the regime. and freedom for women, this was, of course, sparked by the call for women's rights but the violence that we're seeing by the regime is also intensifying. >> reporter: the sound of
