john kirby said earlier even if china does publicly propose a ceasefire once again the u.s. believes ukraine should reject it and says the u.s. will reject it as well. >> reporter: yeah, it's -- these are two men, two strong men up against the west and with each visit, with each, you know -- each side digging in their heels it's pretty troubling for a lot of people watching the direction of these two peculiar opposites in the world right now. >> all right. will ripley in taiwan for us this morning. will, thank you very much. appreciate you joining us. >> we will be tracking all the latest with this putin/xi meeting. "cnn newsroom" starts right now. ♪ good monday morning, i'm erica hill. >> and i'm john berman. great to see you this morning. >> nice to be back with you, my friend. >> a pivotal day in court for the former president. today robert costello, once a

legal adviser to trump attorney michael cohen is expected to testify before a new york grand jury and michael cohen has said he's been called as a potential rebuttal witness to costello. that grand jury could issue an indictment or indictments against former president donald trump any day now and trump has called for protests if that happens. we are outside the new york city courthouse watching for the arrival of witnesses this morning. plus, we're also keeping a very close eye on u.s. markets this hour, futures in the green, that's a good thing, but this is after switzerland's largest bank scooped up its rival credit suisse in an emergency rescue deal. plus chinese president xi jinping in moscow at this hour, set to meet with russian president vladimir putin. a closer look at what that means as putin is facing an international arrest warrant for alleged war crimes. we will get to all of that but we begin this hour with kara

scannell who is outside the courthouse here in new york city. so the trump legal team wanted attorney robert costello to testify today, part of an effort, understandably, to call michael cohen's credibility into question, but you're also learning more about what this could entail in documents that costello says he's already handed over. >> reporter: robert costello according to a source reached out to the manhattan attorney's office and lawyers for former president trump saying he has information that would contradict what michael cohen has been saying. cohen pleaded guilty to campaign finance violations and said he made payments in coordination with and at the direction of trump. costello has handed over hundreds of emails and documents to prosecutors saying that this would back up his contention that what cohen said then is not the same thing as what he had told him when he was representing him. according to a letter that trump's lawyers had given to the

district attorney's office, they say that costello could testify before the grand jury telling them that cohen told him at the time that trump had not committed any crimes. so they had asked the da's office to bring costello in as part of an exculpatory witness testimony to try to contradict what cohen has said. you will remember cohen was in meeting before the grand jury providing testimony two days last week and as cohen said on msnbc this weekend, he was asked by the da's office to return again this afternoon as a possible rebuttal witness. he said he didn't know if that would be just meeting with prosecutors or if he would be asked to go back before the grand jury, but this all signs that this investigation is coming to a head and a decision on a probable indictment of the former president is expected soon. erica, john? >> coming to a head and that decision expected soon. how are new york city officials planning for all of this? >> reporter: john, sources have told my colleagues and our team here that the security -- they

are now doing daily briefings at the nypd, a briefing is expected today. they are also monitoring social media. as our team out here, have been out here this morning, we actually saw some nypd officers installing security cameras on top of the lampposts around here, both outside of this courthouse but also in the vicinity. so just another sign that they are increasing security with the real uncertainty of what will happen if the former president is indicted, john. >> kara scannell, keep us posted. we are awaiting possible arrivals any minute down down there. with us is cnn legal analyst ambassador norm eisen, he was also the house judiciary special counsel in trump's first impeachment trial. tell me understand what's going on today because i don't think i've seen something quite like this before where you have a grand jury investigation and the person being investigated is allowed to basically ask for a witness at the end here. how is this going to work? who is going to ask costello questions? what's going to happen? >> john, thanks for having me

back. what's going to happen today is the exercise of donald trump's rights, they're very broad under new york law, unusually so, that's why donald trump himself was invited to the grand jury, but instead he's sending in a proxy in the form of attorney robert costello. now, remember, mr. costello represented michael cohen and he was criticized in the report of special counsel robert mueller for what to me tip toed up to the line of witness tampering. at one point telling michael cohen he has powerful friends, obviously referring to the president, and he should sleep well tonight before he cooperated. trump and trump world turned on cohen of course when he did cooperate. costello's lawyer relationship ended with cohen, now costello is going to come in and share information from that attorney/client relationship, apparently saying that cohen was

telling a different story before he cooperated, but, john, we know that already. cohen has admitted to that. so they will bring in cohen, possibly, if costello needs to be rebutted to say, yes, i wasn't candid before i cooperated, i've been candid since. i've analyzed cohen's statements since he began cooperating and they have been rock solid. he's told the same account about the president's hush money to influence the 2016 election. >> so based on what we're seeing here then with costello coming in today, potentially cohen coming ba to rebut, what does this do to a timeline in your view? >> erica, we have always thought once things started accelerating that we would see charges before the end of march and i believe we're still on that track, and that we could see them as soon as this week. this really is the end game at

the very term news of the grand jury proceedings, the defendant is sometimes invited as trump was. i lived through all of this in the impeachment of president trump, investigating the hush money, inviting the president to come testify before the house judiciary committee and this signals to me that we are getting to the very end. so i'm looking for charges as soon as this week. >> charges and then what happens? again, the mechanics of what might take place here, norm? >> well, just as this maneuvering that we're seeing in the grand jury under new york rules is pretty typical, defendants have much broader rights, potential defendants, in new york than in other places. the thing that happens, john, once you're past the issuance of the indictment should be pretty

standard. the defendant through his lawyers agrees with the prosecutors on a time and a place to appear in court to answer the charges, guilty or not guilty, to be booked and in this case to be released, and we'll see if donald trump does that. if he doesn't, you have a very complicated legal process to get him from florida to the state of new york, to manhattan, called extradition. but i'm guessing that despite the former president's prot stations on truth social that it won't come to that if he's charged. that still is a big if. it is important to remember charges have not issued. we will see. we are predicting it. we've looked at the law, they look likely, they seem well-founded, but first of course, you have to get charges before that rest of the process

occurs. >> so there is that kind of an important step as we look at all of this. this is, of course, not a -- there is new reporting from cnn about what could be unfolding in georgia, that fulton county prosecutors are considering racketeering and conspiracy charges in relation to the investigation there. what do you make of that? >> i think that there are strong potential charges in fulton county ranging from the simple, a solicitation of election fraud when donald trump asked for brad raffensperger to just find 11, 780 votes that didn't exist, also false electoral certificates, and then charges based on those two pillars, fake votes, fake electoral certificates, can escalate in complexity, erica. the next level up with

conspiracy charges and going beyond that would be a rack rack a tear influenced and corruptions act, rico which could basically if they wanted to do it in fulton county, georgia, allow them to replicate the presentation of the january 6th committee about the whole nationwide plot that georgia was so central to allegedly with mr. trump and others focusing on that state as they hoped the first domino that would cause many others to topple. so the da has to choose, does she want a simple case that she could put on in a week or two, or these rico cases, she did that with the atlanta teacher cheating scandal, they can take months, but sometimes the jury wants a bigger case to deliver bigger sentences. >> well, we will be watching for developments wherever they may come this week.

ambassador norm eisen, always appreciate it. thank you. joining us this morning presidential historian and history professor at rice university douglas brinkley. nice to see you. there are still a lot of unknowns here which i think is really important, right, it's the former president who said he would be charged tomorrow. there is no evidence that that is going to happen definitively tomorrow. if charges were to be filed, though, we know it would be unprecedented given that he is a former president, also a candidate in 2024, but it's also important to note that the bad behavior either known or alleged when it comes to donald trump really doesn't seem to stick to him. so just putting this in a larger historical context, the political impact given how divided the country is right now, how would you sum that up? >> well, we don't know what the political impact is going to be but what's clear is donald trump is going to use this as a big time fundraising event. i think the whole notion of declaring tuesday as the golden day when he's going to be

arrested, using the word "arrested" and not "indicted" indicates that trump sees this as a money-making operation for himself. he sees it as a way to have people like vice president pence say nice things about him, the governor desantis is going to probably say trump is being handed a bad deal if this goes down. so for donald trump this isn't that grim of news. now, whether this will corrode confidence in trump and the republican party or at least, you know, start losing some voters saying, look, the trump days are over, is yet to be seen, but as of today trump isn't worried about this, he's seeing it as a way a con man would, as a way to make an opportunity when you're getting your maim in the press. >> doug, you know, we say it's unprecedented for a former president to be charged with a crime potentially, but i can't even think of a former president who tried to play such a central role and be such a major

national figure after his presidency at this month. it really is stunning to think about it. >> a lot is stunning that's going on hoar. there used to be the great socialist candidate eugene debbs who due to his political views got imprisoned. there have been times when we would talk about a president that needs to be disbarred, bill clinton no longer has a license to practice law, but what's happening here to donald trump is that he is going to be indicted as an ex-president, it looks like, on a number of felony charges with stormy daniels just leading the pack. it's all unsavory, it's all confusing. my fear is that there's so many coming around him at once people are going to simply think it's a political takedown. but we've never had a president like trump before, one without military service, one that

claimed -- claims to be a businessperson, but really just ran his own father's operation and expanded it. there's not somebody as we've talked about, john, for a long time that we can compare donald trump to. and alas, he has the -- you know, he is the king of the double impeachment and very likely he will be the first, you know, originator of the double indictment as things are coming. >> really is no playbook for this at all and trump may try to take advantage of that. douglas brinkley, always a pleasure. thank you very much. >> thank you guys. so this morning just a few minutes before the markets open here in the u.s. dow futures are now up slightly, which is a change, despite concerns about the volatility of the banking sector. >> in europe shares of credit suisse plunged more than 63% at one point. this after switzerland's biggest bank ubs agreed to take over credit suisse. christine romans joining us now.

so as the markets open, people are wondering not only what should i watch, but just how worried should i believe. >> look, this is all this weekend of furious negotiations to sell credit suisse to ubs it's former rival, 167-year-old bank. history unfolding this weekend. it was meant to restore confidence in the banking system. i'm going to be watching the regional banks in the u.s. which have their own issues, much smaller than credit suisse, not internationally significant the banks we are watching in the u.s., but they are significant for the people who deposit, bank there and significant for u.s. -- u.s. regulators who are worried about chain reactions if you have a lot of weakness in some of these banks. our matt egan reporting over the weekend a source telling him that the outflows from some regional banks in the u.s. have slowed. it's all about restoring confidence. last night just about 45 minutes before the asian markets opened we had this, you know, global -- global intervention in the currency markets to make sure

that their dollar swap dollars are flowing to central banks. it sounds wonky but that's another example of trying to restore -- >> i got the restore and it made no sense to me. >> but you knew it was important. it's another way to make sure confidence can be restored in the banking system into on the one hand it tries to restore confidence if someone buys credit suisse, on the other hand you're rattled because someone has to step in. >> it reminds you that confidence has to be restored. that's what's to freak would he about the banking system, the fundamentals can be find and credit suisse regulators were saying credit suisse could have made it, could have kept going, but it was twitter and then the weakness from the regional banks in the u.s., they were blaming the u.s. on this. credit suisse had its own problems, self-inflicted wounds a long time in the making but it reveals we are at a moment right now, a year of interest rate hikes, you know, it's being revealed the weaknesses in the system and i think that this is kind of a longer-term take on t

but this is revealing also what ten years of basically free money has done to the system. now interest rates are rising and we are paying the price of all of that easy money for so long. >> christine romans, you restore confidence in life. it's great to see you. >> nice to see you. welcome back. happening now the chinese president is in moscow for the first time since russia invaded ukraine and since the international criminal court charged vladimir putin with war crimes. we are live in moscow with what is on that agenda this morning. happening today president biden welcoming the cast of "ted lasso" to the white house. not there to kick around a soccer ball, although it could happen. they are there to discuss mental health issues, a really important moment. that's ahead. plus we're going to check in on your destroyed brackets. i men, destroyed and i'm not just talking about mine, but destroyed. two top seeds remain now in the dance, highlights from the biggest upsets and what to watch for tonight. was hiring local talent. if i knew about upwork.

right now we are moments away from a high stakes one-on-one meeting in moscow between russian president putin and chinese president xi. xi arrived in moscow for the state visit a few hours ago. beijing framing this trip as more of a peace making mission amidst the war in ukraine. >> it comes just after the international criminal court issued an arrest warrant for vladimir putin essentially charging him with the abduction of children from ukraine. >> joining us now to discuss what those charges could actually mean is a professor at washington university in st. louis school of law and one of the world's foremost authorities when it comes to international criminal law. it's good to have you with us this morning. so when these charges broke there was a lot of talk about how they are largely symbolic since the reality of putin traveling to a country, right, an icc country where he could

potentially be arrested seems slim. why do you think the charges were filed now ?

these are actually grave breaches of the geneva conventions and russia a party to the genre convention so russia knows exactly that these are not okay. the transfer and deportation of children during war is unlawful. so i think these are the tip of the iceberg, i think we're going to see a lot more charges relating probably to crimes against humanity, probably to the aerial bombardment campaign and other attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure. >> while you anticipate more charges what do you think the

outcome of some of those charges will be? correct me if i'm wrong these icc charges, putin, for example, can't be tried in absentia, correct? >> that's absolutely right, erica. of course, we know that international justice always has to play the long game. many times we found ourselves in this situation before with respect to milosevic, with respect to charles taylor, we've had to wait a long time to get our defendants in the dock. that said, as a permanent court the international criminal court can wait. there is no statute of limitations and it makes it much more difficult both for president putin and for his commissioner to travel abroad, to conduct their business and subjects them potentially to crippling sanctions as a personal level as well as because of their state conduct everywhere they go. >> quickly before i let you go, do you see both these charges and the potential for additional charges in any way influencing the behavior or the orders given

to russian troops? >> so i don't see president putin himself all of a sudden having a change of heart and saying, you know, this is a really bad idea, we shouldn't be violating international law. what i suspect, though, is that others under his command, soldiers in the field, when asked to do things that are manifestly unlawful, that are clearly breaches of international law, not just in the icc statute, but in all the treaties that russia is a party to, russia is a party to the genocide convention, to the jen can a conventions, he think a lot of the people in russia once they learn about these things are going to have second thoughts about this war. and we understand from the reporting that's now ongoing that that's already happening. >> we really appreciate your insight this morning. thank you. all that is the backdrop to an incredibly important summit under way in moscow between the

russian and chinese president, xi jinping arriving there this morning, it's all happening after putin was charged. cnn's matthew chance is joining us live from moscow this morning. matthew, what is on the agenda for these meetings? >> reporter: well, i mean, you're going to see extraordinary scenes first of all of xi jinping standing next to an indicted war criminal for the reasons that you have just been discussing with your last guest. what's on the agenda, a closer relationship between russia and china, this is what both countries say that they want, they've been forging much closer ties over the course of the past decade. they've met each other face-to-face more than 40 times according to the -- what's being carried on russian state media. this is by far the most important one because russia is increasingly isolated in the world, it comes as we mentioned just after this indictment at the icc, it's the first time xi jinping has met putin since his

invasion of ukraine. so it is a potent symbolic show of support from china, one of the world's super powers, remember, to russia. and that's been noticed of course by the russians and they've -- they see it as a diplomatic coup but it also sends a message to the rest of the world as well. xi jinping is willing to stand by russia, maybe others should, too. there are a couple of concrete issues, though, on the agenda, the first is whether or not china will take the step of providing military aid to russia. so far it hasn't done that. it says it has a relationship without limits with russia, but, in fact, it's put a limit on that relationship, which is providing ammunition and weapons for the battlefield. it's not doing that, but the concern is it might do that and that might be a turning point, inflection point in the conflict if the military might of china gets behind russia. so we're watching carefully for that. the other issue is the peace plan that china has put out,

it's put out a 12-point peace plan calling for talks but stopping short of demand that go russia withdrawal from the territory it has conquered. it has a lukewarm reception in the west so far. >> matthew chance, thank you. so we are live in florida as former president trump's possible indictment has upended the house republican policy retreat in orlando. republican lawmakers are vowing to go after the district attorney behind the hush money probe. now, you can trade in those hats to help earn your grad cap. your past experience can help you earn your degrgree faster and for less. ♪hit it!♪ ♪itit takes two to make a thing go right♪ ♪ ♪it takes two to make it outta sight♪ ♪one, two, get loose now! takes two to make a-♪ ay two nights and get 8,000 bonus points. book now at bestwestern.com get rends.com powered by innovation refunds can help your business get a paoll tax refund,

as this week, house speaker kevin mccarthy is signaling that republicans will investigate the manhattan district attorney behind the looming charges. >> this news broke as house republicans gathered in orlando for their annual retreat. that is where we find cnn's melanie zanona this morning. we are hearing a fair amount of reaction, especially from house republicans, not so much from senators, ahead of tomorrow after the former president claimed that this was going to happen tomorrow. what more are we hearing? >> reporter: yeah, you're absolutely right, republicans are lining up to defend former president donald trump, they have been attacking the manhattan district attorney's office as radical, they've been calling a potential indictment an outrageous abuse of power and speaker kevin mccarthy has already promised to investigate whether federal funds were used by the manhattan da to investigate trump over this alleged hush money payment that he made right before the 2016 election. in fact, mccarthy said we could

see action on that front as soon as today as republicans gather here in florida for their annual policy retreat. but so far kevin mccarthy has really dodged questions about the merits of this case and whether there's any evidence that he could see that would make him feel like an indictment is warranted. and he also admitted he has no knowledge whether federal funds were actually used to investigate trump, but he says that is why he wants to investigate. here is more about how republicans are responding. >> after lawyer after lawyer after lawyer will tell you this is the weakest case out there. >> this is selective prosecution. if i were president trump i'd take this all the way to the damn supreme court. >> a lot of the democrats have misplayed this in terms of building sympathy for the former president and it does drastically change the paradigm as we go into the '24 election. >> the fact that the manhattan da thinks that indicting president trump is his top priority i think just tells you everything you need to know about the radical left in this country. it just feels like a politically

charged prosecution here. >> reporter: of course, this is not what republicans wanted to be talking about at their annual policy retreat. they want to be talking about their legislative agenda, how they're going to maintain the house in 2024, but trump is dominating the political conversation once again and there is one area where republicans have broke with trump and that is over trump's calls for protests. kevin mccarthy said he does not want to see people protesting, he urged people to remain calm and remain nonviolent, but he also said trump's rhetoric was not meant to be harmful and that he was not actually calling for protests even though that is indeed what trump was calling for over the weekend. >> melanie, thank you so much. with us is npr senior political editor dom inn co month narrow. i'm fascinating where melanie is standing because the florida of this all is pretty dynamic here. the trump people we've been

reading have been pressuring publicly and behind the scenes ron desantis to come out and say something in support of donald trump and i don't think up until now he's said very much at all. so how much pressure does this put on other republicans, particularly desantis, to come to trump's defense? >> i was going to say, i mean, i think that a big piece of what trump is doing here and we're talking about this because of one message that he sends out on his own platform on a saturday and basically essentially activates the inside and outside game within the gop. ron desantis who clearly is eyeing a run for president is put in a box, as was mike pence, as are all these other candidates who then have to be able to, you know, back trump or at least not come out very strongly against him because that would irritate the base. playing this inside game with having kevin mccarthy and others on the hill saying that they're going to be looking into whether or not public funds are used in this kind of an investigation and then spurring that outside

game, raising money, calling for protests. weekend meetings from law enforcement to have to move to see whether or not they're going to have to activate their own, you know, law enforcement to stem any kind of protests and keep peace. this is exactly what trump wanted and it's exactly how it's plays out. >> it's a fascinating look at the whole that donald trump still has on this party. he has presented a new litmus test, right, you have to say you're with me or then you're clearly against me, and, oh, by the way, i want to dominate the conversation, i want the money to flow to me, it's in a fundraising email. it's a well worn playbook and it's interesting how sometimes it feels like people get surprised by it. >> i mean, it's really not shocking whatsoever. i mean, this was based on almost nothing, it said illegal leaks that he's hearing. it's not even saying my lawyer told me i'm going to be arrested, anything that could be independently verified.

so far we haven't heard from any of our colleagues being able to verify within law enforcement to say that this is going to be an impending arrest that happens on tuesday, as he's calling for. and, you know, so this is really -- i mean, you guys probably had in your own inboxes half a dozen or more fundraising requests, you know, trump is able to put out this idea that he could potentially be arrested, then he gets the headlines he wants, then takes the headlines, puts those into a new email and says, hey, contribute so that we can fight off the radical left as they're going to try to indict your favorite president. >> yeah. well, buckle up, because here we go. really nice to have you with us this morning. thank you. >> thank you for having me. this top scientist in the world issuing the most dire warning yet on the climate crisis. what they say must be done by world leaders and just how quickly they say it needs to happen. that's next.

just into cnn, a dire warning about the state of the planet. a new u.n. report warns the climate time bomb is ticking and the world is running out of time to avoid catastrophe. >> that assessment comes from the world's most authoritative body on climate change which says the earth is going to pass this critical warning threshold much earlier than expected. we're staring it down, they are talking about the early 2030s. cnn chief climate correspondent about weir is here. please tell me we can stop this. >> i'd love to tell you that. we have to believe that and we can and that's the take away is that the tools are in our hands, no miracles needed when it comes to technology, it's all right here, all about political will, but let me explain the context here. every year thousands of peer

reviewed papers around the world look at the ice or the clouds or the penguins or every little aspect of our changing planet, the ipcc, these are scientist 195 countries have to synthesize all of that information, the governments have to approve the language and then they put this report together and give it to lawmakers in time for this next cop that's coming up in the united arab emirates. it is the most unequivocal, there is no such thing as climate alarmism anymore, the time bomb is ticking but we have the guide on how to diffuse the bomb in our hands. it's interesting to look at those who love fuels that burn and the politicians who support them use that term climate alarmism a lot. if you look at the history of this, the first report in 1990 was noncommittal about whether it was even happening. boy, would we love that decade back. in hindsight it proved again and again they have been understating the evidence right now and now it is -- we've pretty much run out of time in order to keep it at 1.5. that's when the tipping points might start there.

but between the first and this is the sixth synthesis report like this humanity has emitted a trillion tons of carbon into the sky, that's 40% of all the planet cooking pollution since the industrial revolution in the early 1800s. so that's more carbon than has been up there in the last 2 million years, as a result of that temperatures are rising faster than they have in the last 2,000 years and it's all right in front of our faces now. whether this will do anything when it comes to real politics, putin and xi are meeting right now, china is just approved new coal projects in 82 different regions, vladimir putin is not exactly interested in decarbonizing anytime fast. joe biden just approved the willow project in alaska. oil companies are still the richest companies in the world and as long as that happens, it feels like we're ignoring what is being told to us by our scientists. >> the fate of the world you would think should be a priority. no sign it is just yet. bill weir, thank you for your reporting on this.

panic attack. >> and he is going to be meeting the president today in support of folks with mental health. and with the sign at the white house, and what a great cause for this type of discussion about mental health, m.j. >> yes, john and erica, we are about to have some hollywood presence here at the white house, and jason sedaikis and others will be here to meet with the president and the first lay doi talk about mental health-related issues, and sedaikis plays this affable coach who grapples with various mental health issues and in that clip, he is grappling with panic attacks, and he is seeking the help that he thinks that he

needs, including therapy, but what is interesting is that the actor and sedaikis and other cast members have talked about how important it is to them to see the effect that these plot lines have had on the audience members that they have had audience members come to them, and reach out to show to say, look, to have a show that deals so directly with mental health issues can really play a role in helping to destigmatize some of the health that people can really seek if they feel like they are struggling. so we expect this to be an interesting meeting obviously for this white house. mental health issues is something that they have prioritized and tried to talk about a lot. as with a number of other issues, we are seeing the president and the white house enlisting the help from celebrities to talk about a cause that is important to them. >> yeah, so important. and look, the more we talk about it, right, the more we remind people that it does happen everyday and it is important to talk about it, and important to

do that. >> and i hope that roy goldstein cannot swear. >> apparently, he swears a lot in real life, too, and so i hope that he does, and i enjoy colorful language, but that is me. and some colorful language involving march madness, and the championship for the -- woo, the brackets, and just gone. there are no perfect brackets left, and we know that now, but there are also a lot of broken hearts this morning, too. >> a lot of them. cnn pro and sports correspondent coy wire. >> yes, some broken hearts and busted bracketed like mine, and this is going to be a bracket for the second time in nine years that kentucky and kansas and duke and michigan not in it.
