ahead of his scheduled court appearance on tuesday. trump's legal team is preparing for the first ever arrangement of a former president, the u. s and russia's top officials, speaking by phone about two detained americans. but russia has to say about the fate of the arrested wall street journal reporter and a violent explosion rips through a saint petersburg cafe, leaving a popular pro war russian blogger dead. what? we're learning ahead in a live report. from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom with leila harrack. we begin here in the united states and the coming hours. former u. s. president donald trump will head to new york for a moment we've never seen before. sources tell cnn. he is expected to appear in court tuesday afternoon. his legal team says trump will voluntarily surrender but plans to file substantial
11:02 pm
legal challenges. we will take the indictment. we will dissect it. um the team will look at every every, um, potential issue that we will be able to challenge him. we will challenge and of course, i very much anticipated motion to dismiss coming because there's no law that fits this. while the former president has been indicted for his alleged role in a hush money payments scheme involving adult film star stormy daniels. meanwhile new york ramping up security ahead of the historic arrangement, barricades were being set up near the courthouse over the weekend strategy donald trump's attorneys are using is to try and discredit michael cohen as a witness. he was trump's former personal attorney and fixer during the alleged hush money scandal. cohen's attorney, lanny davis, has been defending his client. we're going in credibility. let me repeat everything, michael cohen has said since he decided to
11:03 pm
tell the truth. he lied for 10 years for donald trump. he went to the american people in front of chairman comings and he said , i lied. i'm ashamed of myself. i own that now. from that point on, he's never been shown to have lied. he has been forthcoming with every investigator endeavor took the fifth amendment the way mr trump did, and the credibility between him and the jury in that courtroom is going to be based on corroborating evidence. while davis says everything is client has testified to is backed up by documentation and corroboration seen as crystal holmes has more on what we can expect in the days ahead. the logistics around former president trump's trip to new york tomorrow, and his arraignment on tuesday are still being sorted out. but we have learned that the former president plans to give a primetime address when he arrives back at his mar-a-lago home on tuesday. we had heard from sources, security sources as well as a member of president trump's team that they wanted to get him in and out of manhattan
11:04 pm
as quickly as possible so he will be leaving the city. right after that arraignment, coming back to his florida home, where he will address the nation now this will be a chance for him to really give his side of the story and spin his own narrative . as we have heard, he has all this a political witch hunt and a hoax. but the difference between those remarks on tuesday and what we have heard in the last several weeks. it will be the first time we hear from him. since those charges have been made public currently no one knows what those charges actually are, and they won't be revealed until his arraignment. on tuesday. republicans have rallied around him. the former president spent much of the weekend calling his allies calling his advisers and we saw a lot of them on the airwaves defending the former president, but the thing to watch as we head into this next week is how that messaging or it's that messaging actually changes. once we see what those charges actually are now on the legal front we heard from trump's lawyer, joe tacopina, who said that they are waiting to see
11:05 pm
that indictment that's going to impact their legal decisions. they are have not seen what the charges are, and they cannot make any game plan at this point yet until they actually see that , but they did make clear he did make clear that everything was on the table. kristen holmes, cnn west palm beach, florida. joining me now is michael genovese's. he is a political analyst and president of the global policy institute at loyola marymount university. he has also authored numerous books, including the modern presidency, six debates that define the institution there. so good to have you with us. we um we're getting ready for a very monumental week. the ex president will be arraigned at the manhattan criminal court house. on tuesday. what will you be looking for? you know, a lot of people are speculating that you're going to see the perp walk in. you're gonna see him in
11:06 pm
handcuffs. i think there's going to be much less of that than some people anticipate. i think it's gonna be very businesslike . i think he'll go in the side door. there won't be a lot of cameras and it will be done very subtly. and with what i think, you know, dignity even and so i think that's as it should be not just for a former president, but for anyone, and so i think the real events will take place after the arraignment. i think when he goes to give his speech in mar-a-lago that night, that's when the fireworks may start. would you expect to happen? well i think in this in the speech itself, what i expect to happen is that if past is prelude, donald trump is kind of a one trick pony. he knows how to do one thing very well and that's go on the attack. and so i think what he'll do is he'll start screaming about which hunts and hoaxes. he'll try to rev up his base, which is a very good political strategy. it's not a good legal strategy, and he's now converting from the political to the legal. um and in that sense, you know, i think
11:07 pm
he's going to have a really hard time making that conversation. convergent he is to his base, the pied piper. and they will forgive him anything. but when you get into a legal venue, they worry about evidence. any worry about facts, and so donald trump is going to be in a more hostile environment in that regard, he will wear his indictment as a badge of honor. um but i think for most of us were now beginning to see more clearly that the emperor has no clothes . his base is still blind to that most americans are beginning to see that now current or former president being charged with a crime is unprecedented, but a case against a presidential candidate is not. that's right, um, in the most literal and narrow sense. this is the first time we've ever indicted a former president , but we've had a lot of scoundrels in politics and a lot of rogues particles always had its seamy side. you'll you may
11:08 pm
recall you're too young to recall actually that richard nixon was named an unindicted co conspirator because at that time they believed in many still do that you cannot indict a sitting president. but now that he's out of office, you could indict. um and we've also had roads like and characters like eugene debs, who ran as a socialist candidate for president several times in 1920. he ran from prison and alabama. and so you know, the constitution is very ecumenical and very, very, very limited in terms of its requirements to be present you all just the natural born citizen. 35 years of age and having lived in the united states for 14 years. beyond that, any rogue any scoundrel? anyone can run for president. now we've had a history of calling corrupt politicians to account. and that's a really good sign that no one not even the president should be above the law. no one not even a former president should be unaccountable. now. mr trump is defiant. he denies any sexual encounter any wrongdoing. he says he has not done anything illegal, depending on which side
11:09 pm
of the political aisle politicians are. the reactions have been very divided. don't know what the indictment contains. once we know that then we can make some really reasoned judgments. what happens if there is a 30? whatever count indictment, which is very clear very specific, which gives some of the rationales that might be persuasive if it's just bullet points and accusations, then it might be much less useful. but i think what we've seen is that the american political system is divided, divisive, polarized. we fight with each other. each side believes that it has god on its side, and each side believes that it is fighting a holy crusade. and in that sense, they both say that virtually anything goes the first thing to go, though, and to go out the window is the truth, mr trump says, brags prosecution as politically motivated. prominent republicans also very quick to target alvin bragg. what do you make of that
11:10 pm
argument? it's understandable because of the heart political times we live in. it's understandable because donald trump is the kind of character who brings out the best and the worst in people. but you have to recall that this was a grand jury. it wasn't the district attorney alone who brought these charges. a jury a grand jury of new yorkers. voted that they believe there is grounds for some kind of investigations, then an indictment than the d a takes over and so you know you you open yourself up in any political prosecution, whether it's merited or not to all kinds of accusations, and the d a. mr greg will be present turn turn apart in in the media by republicans and conservatives. he has to have tough skin. he has to be 16, and it's going to happen. he has to rely on the strength of his case. if this case holds up, he has vindicated. if it doesn't hold up, the criticisms might be
11:11 pm
valid. mr trump will be the center of attention. the focal point in national news here in the united states this week. how do you expect this to be received across the nation? you know, it's such an odd thing that there is and i hate to put it this way, but an entertainment value that is to say that people are going to be fascinated by the process by the charges by the arguments. pro and con. guilty innocent and so it has a bit of a circus that was here that might occur, but i think it also has an incredibly important educative function that it might serve. we might highlight the importance of the rule of law, importance of accountability, even for a president or former president that no human being no politician. no powerful individual is above the law. and if that message comes across that's a great message to send to america and to the world.
11:12 pm
michael genevieve's thank you so much. thank you, leila. washington is taking its demand for the release of an american journalist arrested in russia directly to moscow. the two sides top diplomats spoke by telephone sunday about the arrest of wall street journal reporter evan gris, covic gris covic is the first american journalists to be detained by moscow on espionage charges since the cold war, he faces up to 20 years in prison as cnn white house correspondent or let's science tells us greece. covic was not the only american detainee brought up during the call. secretary of state antony blinken spoke with his russian counterpart, foreign minister sergei lavrov on sunday to urge russia to immediately released wall street journal reporter evan gersh covic. this marked a very rare phone call between the two men. they have only spoken three times since russia invaded ukraine, and each of those calls
11:13 pm
has focused on trying to release detained americans. now the state department released a readout of this most recent call , where they say quote secretary blinken conveyed the united states has grave concern over russia's unacceptable detention of a u. s citizen journalist secretary called for his immediate release. secretary blinken further urged the kremlin to immediately released wrongfully detained us citizen paul whelan. paul whelan has is in the process of serving a 16 year sentence after facing espionage charges in russia, which is also facing espionage charges, something that the white house and his employer, the wall street journal, say simply just is not accurate now on the russian side. did they said that this phone call between blinken and lavrov was requested on behalf of the united states, and they said that lavrov told blanket that ultimately that wall street journal reporters fate would be determined in russian court. now this all comes at a point of very high tension between the us and russia, especially with that
11:14 pm
war in ukraine continuing on and one thing that officials will be working towards in the coming days is trying to get consular access to gersh covic so they could see what exactly his state it is so officials can assess that, and they can also relate that to their family, but the white house at this moment is trying to stress that this remains a top priority for the president are less signs. cnn, the white house. still to come and explosion rips through a cafe in st petersburg, killing a russian military blogger, the latest on the investigation in a live report ahead, and our david mckenzie reports on a group of american and canadian doctors performing reconstructive surgeries on ukrainians wounded during the war. n nirvana we've created a brand new way for you to sell your car. go to carve ana answer a few questions and our techno wizardry calculates your car's value and gives you a real offer in seconds will come

11:19 pm
more than 30. others were injured and video shows the extensive damage left behind. state media reports that investigators have been questioning everyone who was inside the cafe at the time as spokesperson for russia's foreign ministry has already pointing the finger at ukraine, without citing any evidence, while a ukrainian officials suggest the killing was a result of in five eating. in russia. let's go live now to london, where cnn's claire sebastian is standing by and following developments for you, claire, a very audacious attack on a high profile pro kremlin figure. what are russian authorities saying? how are they treating this? yeah later. this is something that for the moment they seem to be letting law enforcement do most of the talking as you say a murder investigation has been opened by the investigative committee in st petersburg. there's still a lot of damage at the scene. the death toll that injury toll rather rising over 30 so you can see that we're still in the early stages of this. they are, according to
11:20 pm
state media, focusing on a woman who, according to eyewitnesses, handed vlad renta, tatar ski figurine of sorts shortly before the explosion. so that's what state media is saying that they are looking at in terms of political reaction. nothing from the kremlin as of yet, but we have had, as you say, from the foreign ministry spokeswoman maria zahara over who immediately pointed the finger at ukraine, saying that russian journalists are constantly experiencing threats of reprisal from the cave regime and its inspirer. which are increasingly being implemented interesting that she is sort of linking him with russian jan with russian journalist since he was a military blogger, really with a telegram following of around half a million, she praises his service to the motherland as well, even though of course he was known at times to be critical of the way that russia was conducting this war. so as of now, as i say. mostly this is being focused on how law enforcement of dealing with this we wait to hear more reaction,
11:21 pm
perhaps later. claire sebastian reporting. thank you so much, claire. the head of the russian mercenary group of wagner says a russian flag has been raised in memory of water ski on the battlefield and mahmoud all those comments from yevgeny version coming in in a brief video he claims was recorded in the eastern ukrainian city. cnn can't immediately confirm the location where version recorded the message holding a flag that was in distinct in the darkness . meantime ukraine says at least six people were killed in russian airstrikes on the town of christian teeny fca, the ukrainian defense ministry says russian forces targeted residential areas launching two strikes with 300 long range missiles and four strikes with a multiple launch rocket system. thousands have been wounded in the war, and now there is new help for some of those who were
11:22 pm
disfigured. cnn's david mckenzie met surgeons from the u. s and canada were helping them heal. we want to warn you, some viewers may find these images hard to watch. the glass. and right impact of war is hard to look at my finger difficulty that i'm having is that i don't know what anything looks like behind the skin here. i can make an opening that looks like there's an eye, but they're never going to look like normal islands and the surgical realities are nothing like civilian life, okay? how do you compare it to here in ukraine with the level of complexity for these cases is significantly more elaborate and significantly more complex. think we can get the mouth of working better face the future, mission director anthony bruce said, says the blast injuries are often devastating one of the things that we can do is improved the appearance of the scar, multilevel bone and soft tissue
11:23 pm
injuries really get does not get any more complex than this, even in a combat scenario, they brought together highly specialist, plastic surgeons, anesthesiologists and nurses from the u. s and canada to reconstruct and repair bone is missing. many cannot and if we can do that, then that certainly is a fulfilling opportunity, so it's not just the physical change. it's a psychological help. you hope. absolutely absolutely. and it's a psychological help, not just for the patient but also for their family. roman belinsky is one of the patients. thank you invited us to his home to what do i think of him? i'm proud of my son, says his mother proud of him. i'm proud of the fact that he didn't run away. he didn't hide casa. early in the war. his

11:30 pm
on a pro business platform and has vowed to cut spending. but it's party will have to form a coalition with other parties to govern. let's bring you more now on this one to turn to steven erlanger. he's the chief diplomatic correspondent for the new york times and joins us now from brussels via skype. so good to see you what led to the political downfall of miss marin? well she is still very popular in finland, but her center left party was increasingly less popular. she was always more popular than her party and has been going on in nearby sweden. also um, where the last election saw swing to the right. that happened in finland to the fins are kind of famously. ah tight fisted and heard the biggest criticism of her that mattered domestically had nothing to do with ukraine. or nato, on which she was considered to have done a good job or even covid but the size
11:31 pm
of the government debt now in regular european terms, finished dead is only about 70% of gdp. it's not bad at all. but for the fins, it seemed much too much so they have gone for a center rights. party very narrowly. it should be said that promises to rein in public spending and that is really the problem son and marine during her campaign just very aggressively said that the problem in finland was not enough growth, but refused to talk about budget cuts. so this in the end cut against her, but she does remain quite popular, even if she is somewhat controversial as well. fresh face a new generation. a woman who enjoys her private life. this had a controversy in relatively conservative finland . but i don't think was a very
11:32 pm
key issue in her loss. the hard part starts arguably a coalition will have to be formed. could we see miss marron make a comeback or or play a role in forming a new government? i think very much so. i mean, it's a 200 seat parliament and the highest party got 48 seats, so it's going to have to be a coalition. it's likely to be at least three parties. the submarines. problem is that her left allies won't work with the national coalition party. the big question for them is do they go? to the populist, harder right finns party, which came in second and build. coalition around that. or will they go more towards the social democrats, who came in a narrow third and build a coalition around them? and if they do
11:33 pm
that, then it's possible son of marine would have another ministerial office. she could be for a minister, she she could be something else. i'm not sure that interests her right now. one of the great questions in finland is what comes next for son of marine and i think also the rest of the world will be keenly watching her next move. finland as you know, is about to join. nato has a decision to join nato played any role in these elections. i understand. i mean, it didn't even play a role. it wasn't contentious at all that surprise you. um not exactly. i mean, because foreign policy in finland's basically run by the president, it's very powerful presidency celine niinisto and here's the most popular politician in in finland , and he was the one who kind of really guided finland and sweden to toward nato now. um basically
11:34 pm
all parties went along some on the left still didn't like it. but as you say it was not at that point any longer. um, a controversial issue, and by the time the election happened, uh, it was all done. all that remains for finland to get in nato is exchange of a few letters, so it really is a done deal. a done deal is steven erlanger. thank you so much for providing us with your insights greatly appreciate it. thank you. now we turn our focus to iran, where many women are condemning a yogurt attack on two women for allegedly not wearing their job. this viral cctv video shows the moment when a man enters the shop, confronts them and then proceeds to dump a tub of yogurt on their heads. the two women arrested for failing to wear the hijab in public, according to masson news agency. several iranian women are speaking out, blaming the
11:35 pm
government for sowing discontent among citizens. push baptism. i think those women in the way they were dressed, had nothing to do with that man. this behavior causes tensions, the family of the victimized woman will be upset after seeing this video and take other action. i think this sort of behavior should be condemned in every country if the government did not cause such discontent amongst the people, they would not rise up against them. people would have no reason to fight and foreign countries will not support them in their protests. the proceeded still to come. taiwan's president sures up relations with supporters in central america, guatemala's president had to say about their partnership that's the head. i got into dutton college and no matter how much i paid followed me everywhere. s so i've
