12:01 am
viewers, joining us here in united states and all around the world. you're watching cnn newsroom, i'm rosemary church. just ahead, we are following developments in iran, with reports the country has carried out its second execution, related to protests in less than a week. details in a live report. donald trump legal moves deep in, cnn now learning that the newly appointed special counsel, is speeding ahead on a pair of criminal probes surrounding the former president, and more than 30 years after the bombing of pan am flight one of three, a key suspect is now in u.s. covid study. >> live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom, with rosemary church. nearly three months and that the demonstration that has
12:02 am
shaken iran to its core, cnn has learned that a second protester has been executed. government affiliated news agency say that the modern man was publicly hanged just a few hours ago after being convicted of allegedly killing two members of the security forces, and injuring for more. iran carried out its first known death sentence connected to the protests last week, mohsen shekari was hanged on thursday, after his conviction for allegedly injuring a paramilitary officer. for more, we rana bring in salma abdelaziz. salma, what more are you learning here? >> iranians waking up to this very disturbing news, iranian authorities have hanged a man in public in the town -- in the early hours of this morning, according to government affiliated new, sites he was convicted of waging war against god and found guilty in an iranian court of allegedly killing two
12:03 am
members of the besieged militia, a very important security force, and of injuring four others last month. the man's name is vanessa caution of, are i want to emphasize, this was an execution in public, so potentially residents of michaud may have seen some very terrifying scene this morning. as you mention, is the second protest over that we know of that has been executed since the start of this uprising in september. the first known execution took place last week on thursday, again according to government affiliated news agencies was convicted of stabbing a member of the besieged, and blocking a road into iran. >> i'm explaining to why the authorities are saying these two men were executed but protesters and supporters of this popular uprising those taking to the streets against the government so this is just another tool of repression they
12:04 am
believe that iranian authorities are using execution as a way to terrify and intimidate protesters to keep them off the streets amnesty international in particular has been tracking these executions and and a international says that iran is seeking the death penalty in the case of 21 people i'm gonna read you a brief quote from his team in the embassy put out last month. these are sham trials, designed to intimidate those participating in this popular uprising. so, i sense there that as the iranian authorities scramble to try to silence this growing movement, that is really ballooned across the country, that these executions may be used more and more by iran's authorities. but as we often see in these cases, rosemary, these two men will become symbols, heroes for the opposition on the ground. >> indeed, and of course, the hope is far as the authorities
12:05 am
are concerned, in iran, is that people will be scared, as a result of these executions, i will get off the street, are using any indication that that is happening? >> absolutely not, i think iran's protesters, i think those activists on the ground i think those who are supporters of the movement say that this only makes them double down, and reveals the extent to which iran's authorities will go to try to silence and repress, again, this growing demonstration. he's going demonstrations have continued, now, for almost three months. but it started with a case of one young woman, a 22-year-old woman who allegedly was not wearing her hijab properly, -- her death in the custody of the morality police, has now ballooned into this movement that is so much greater than just a hijab law. that is demanding the overthrow the government, it is demanding the islamic system of iran, these are huge demands of course, and they have faced brutal repression, and trying
12:06 am
to continue this demonstration. we know, according to rights groups, that hundreds of people 's been killed. thousands of people have been arrested, and yet we continue to see these acts of defiance, every day on the streets of tehran. >> incredibly brave protesters, still out on the streets, salma abdelaziz, brings you the very latest from her vantage point in london. >> the u.s. congress, is scrambling to craft a spending bill before government funding expires this week. the white house is ramping up pressure on lawmakers to move quickly, to pass the package, it would provide everything from pandemic funding, two additional money for ukraine. enhanced tap child tax credits, and disaster relief fund. the white house is warning of disastrous consequences, if it is not done on time. >> the house select committee investigating last year's insurrection held a meeting on sunday, to discuss criminal
12:07 am
referrals, the panel has been weighing referrals for former president donald trump, -- now led to the january 6th capitol attack they also consider referrals for trump allies including white house chief of staff rudy giuliani the referrals would largely be symbolic but they would document the views of committee members for the record cnn's elie honig explains how that works. >> first of all, they have to finalize a. referrals >> first of all there's no work sheet you fill for a referral, it could be as short as a couple of sentences. do doj we hereby refer all these. they can last a specific names. many of you got where they get a name second of all i think in a name specific federal statutes specific crimes that they think might of been violated and third, how much
12:08 am
depth of the gonna go into. they're gonna say, you just need to negotiate this person for this crime. -- we have an opening argument like you might see in court. >> it's still unclear if the panel has reached a decision, but members largely agree that trump and his allies committed a crime, by trying to prevent the transfer of power,, meantime sources say newly appointed special counsel jack smith is moving fast on a pair of criminal probes into trump including one related to the insurrection earlier i spoke in the tasha lindstaedt a professor of government at the university of the essex, and i asked her what she made of the january 6th meeting on sunday. >> i think this is a sign that donald trump his luck is running out. the congress is moving to push
12:09 am
to indict trump, to suggest that trump is indicted. i think we've always seen that there are these norms that you can't indict former presidents are sitting presidents and that has really insulated trump from different sorts of prosecution. but i think the house is making a very clear, that criminal action has taken place. they tried to overturn an election and this wasn't sort of a spontaneous thing and he needs to be held accountable. he's been really reticent so far to really make him accountable for some of his actions, but were seen with some of the legal results have been taking place, and also the fact that the trump organization was found guilty on 17 counts of corporate fraud and a series of other cases in georgia a civil suit in new york and the investigation that you talked about with jack smith the special counsel, looking into what happened in mar-a-lago, as well, that trump,
12:10 am
he is going to have to finally face the law. and i think he's been incredibly lucky at this point by pursuing delay tactics, and pushing this narrative that that is untouchable. >> let's like that because you mention newly appointed special counsel jack smith is moving quickly on to criminal probes around donald trump including asking a judge to hold trump in contempt. what does that signal to you specifically? >> well, we had thought originally that this investigation into mar-a-lago or into january 6th might halt. -- i was trying to run for president right out of the midterms and this is his attempt of some kind of delay tactic.
12:11 am
of course the attorney general merrick garland made it clear that no one is above the law and imported the special counsel. there are concerns from the democrat side or from those that want to see trump face some sort of retribution this is gonna call is also kind of delay we see that the special counsel jack smith has been moving very expeditiously. and that i think trump is going to face an indictment. and we're seeing some legal experts saying the same thing, that his time is simply running out and he committed crimes here. when we look at what happened in mar-a-lago, that's a narrow case, that's going to be easier to prove, the january six cases gonna be a little bit more difficult to prove this much more expansive. but in both cases it's possible that trump is going to finally face some sort of retribution. >> our thanks to natasha and
12:12 am
stand for analysis there. >> a libyan man accused of making the bomb pulled down pan am flight one of three over scotland, nearly 34 years ago, is now in u.s. custody. 270 people died that november day. 259 on the plane and 11 on the ground in the town of lockerbie. it remains the uk's deadliest terror attack. the suspect had been held in libya for years, let me authorities say he confessed to involvement back in 2012 but it's unclear whether those statements will be about in u.s. court years of painstaking detective work went into the u.s. charges which were announced in 2020. the fbi says investigators sifted through 300 tons of wreckage scattered over 845 square miles. that's nearly 2200 schuylkill meters cnn spoke with the sister of the man who died in a
12:13 am
bombing. she is also the president of the group victims of pan am flight one of three. she welcomed the latest developments and said accountability was a top priority, the family members of the people who are killed. >> 34 years later we're still bringing those accused to justice. and says that we have the fortitude, and in determination of families to keep fighting out of 34 years. but also the government to keep fighting and holding those people accountable and investigators don't stop, the prosecutors haven't stopped, six administrations have been in power since the bombing happened and still been a party and been at the forefront. and today, where he is now in u.s. custody and we don't have a trial in the u.s., to hold him accountable. that is very important to the family, been entire fire
