world. you are watching cnn newsroom and i'm rosemary church just ahead, expelled and then reinstated two democratic lawmakers in tennessee are pushing to get their seats back this week, president biden getting ready to visit northern ireland this as we mark the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement that brought peace and the fallout from leaked pentagon documents how it could make ukraine's fight against russia that much harder. live from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom with rosemary coach. good to have you with us, and we begin here in the united states were officials in nashville, tennessee, to determine the fate of expelled democratic state lawmaker justin jones. in the coming hours. the nashville metro council will vote on whether to reinstate him back into the states house of representatives. jones was one of two black lawmakers expelled by a republican supermajority
12:02 am
last week. for taking part in a gun reform protests on the house floor. third member who is white , was spared cnn's isabel razali's has more. monday evening, the metropolitan council here right behind me in nashville will decide the political future of ousted lawmaker former representative justin jones. they are set to not only vote to appoint him but also vote to suspend a council rule that prohibits an appointment and a nomination from happening during the same meeting. if they're successful with that, and they will go ahead and appoint him to his former seat as an interim successor. they will need a supermajority for that. that's 27 council members to vote for that we've also heard from a councilman jeff syracuse that they have not received any threats here of any sort of political retribution for reappointing justin jones back to his seat. meanwhile when it comes to justin pearson, the other ousted lawmaker, he
12:03 am
delivered a powerful sermon on easter sunday. take a listen laser tom, mr. to expel. let them do what they muster promise that sunday is election. all right. and when it comes to pearson's vacancy that is entirely up to the shelby county board of commissioners will. we're told by the chairman that they are not planning to discuss pearson situation up until their regularly scheduled meeting on wednesday, and even then it's unclear when they will schedule a special meeting to address that open seat. we are also seeing on social media organizers. nashville ian's right here. uh organizing a day of action so they will meet here before city council to rally and then after that city council meeting, they will go over and marched to the state capital.
12:04 am
isabelle rose. salas cnn, nashville, tennessee. a member of the nashville metro council, who will hold that special meeting says thousands of her constituents are demanding that both the ousted lawmakers be reinstated. we've heard from at this point. thousands of constituents, most of whom are in the district representative represented by representative jones, and they want him back in the seat. they elected him. uh essentially the voice of the entire district was silenced last week and that's undemocratic, and i feel like most of my colleagues believe that that is undemocratic and this is really the right thing to do to restore him to the seat that he was elected to in iowa. there's criticism and anger from victim advocate groups after the des moines register reported thattate has halted its practice of paying for emergency contraception and, in some cases
12:05 am
, abortions for sexual assault victims. aposperson for the newly ected republican attorney geral said the payments are on hold as part of a review of victim services. and as she evaluates whether this is an appropriate use of public funds, in a statement to the des moines register, the ceo of planned parenthood north central states called the move deplorable and reprehensible. the u. s health and human services secretary says the biden ministrations considering all options of texas judge ruled to suspend the food and drug administration's approval of a medication abortion pill. that ruling drawing strong reaction across the us, including on capitol hill. cnn's elena train has more. the reaction from lawmakers has been pretty desperate after the court's decision was announced, democrats immediately started railing against the ruling. they held press conferences and spend the airwaves and some have even
12:06 am
heaped pressure on president biden to ignore the judge's decision altogether. now republican lawmakers, meanwhile , have been far less outspoken, though we did hear from a few who are pressed on the issue during the sunday shows that includes congressman tony gonzalez, he's a republican from texas. who had pretty harsh words for the biden administration. here's what he had to say the administration wants to not not lead this ruling not live up to this ruling. then we're going to have a problem, and it may be a come a point where house republicans on the appropriation side have to defund fda programs that don't make sense. not all republicans are taking the same position. others like senator lindsey graham are urging the party to tamp down the divisive rhetoric and frame their positions as reasonable. here's lindsey graham. i want to protect as many babies as possible. i want exceptions for pregnancies as result of rape, incest, the life of the mothers in jeopardy then the family can decide. i do believe in common sense restrictions on abortion.
12:07 am
that's where america is that we can win this issue at the ballot box. if we show up well, reasonable positions. if we have our head in the sand, we're gonna lose argue that graham's comments on this are pretty indicative of the broader political environment that republicans face when it comes to this issue. this is very tricky territory for the party to navigate abortion in the wake of the dobbs decision last year has not been a winning issue for republicans, and we saw that during the 2022 midterm elections. thanks to cnn's elena train for that report, and earlier i spoke with jessica levinson, a professor at loyola law school about the judge's ruling in texas. i asked her what she expects the outcome will be if this case ends up at the supreme court. this is a very conservative supreme court. and of course, it is the same court that overturned roe v. wade and said that there is no constitutionally protected right to obtain an abortion. having said that this is a slightly
12:08 am
different legal question, and i think that there are a couple of kind of escape hatches for the supreme court if they don't want to get to the big merits issue here. for instance, the people who sued in the texas case the doctors who sued and the medical associations who sued. i think there's a real legal question as to whether or not they have something called standing to walk into federal courthouse doors. i don't think that they proved that they have enough of an injury in order to be the plaintiffs, and that could provide the supreme court again with kind of a safety valve. the other thing for people to remember is that yes, this is a very conservative court. but if this texas ruling stands it also means that a single judge can essentially undermine approval by the fda for other drugs as well. and that's a precedent that even this court might not want to set, so i think there's some reason to kind of pause before we say, oh, it's a conservative ruling, and it's a conservative court so they'll
12:09 am
uphold it and jessica while all of this plays out, the iowa attorney general's office is just halted its long term practice of paying for emergency contraception and some cases, abortions for sexual assault victims. what's going on here? i think that what we're seeing in the wake of the dobbs decision that june decision that overturned roe v. wade is that states really are taking steps to make it very, very difficult to obtain abortions sometimes outright banning them. but this is really a political decision that they want to try and make it very difficult for some women , including victims of sexual assault and rape to obtain an abortion, and it's a political decision that they have made. i think that they have the legal right to do so at this point, unless there's something under the state constitution that would prevent them, but i think what we're also seeing in a few elections, for instance, the wisconsin supreme court election
12:10 am
, some other state elections leading up to 2024 is that these types of policy changes may not be popular with a lot of not just democrats, but independents and moderates. thanks to jessica levinson for her perspective there. shocking attack in new jersey during the muslim holy month of ramadan and imam was stabbed while leading prayers sunday morning at a mosque in the city of paterson. the attacker then tried to run away , but worship is caught him and held him down until police arrived. gloria minnow has more now from the scene. and ramadan is the holiest month in the muslim calendar, a time that is supposed to be for peace and unity that was marked by violence early here on sunday morning at the omar mosque here behind me, that's when police say a man who had joined into the early morning prayers, pulled out a knife and attacked imam sayed el nakib. who is now
12:11 am
at an area hospital, recovering from wounds sustained to his lungs. now people here told us that it was the congregants who responded right away at the time of that attack, who basically helped to make sure that the attack was not much worse. they helped to subdue the subs. the suspect until police arrived at the scene. now we know uh, as i said imam side is recovering at the hospital and right now, police telling us. the investigation is ongoing into exactly what the motive was and the identity of the person behind this attack. we spoke with the spokesperson for the mosque who told us that the imam is recovering in the hospital and encouraged the muslim community here in the area to still come out and participate in prayers during this holy month when this first happened. um the congregation we had over
12:12 am
200 congregants at the mosque. um and we consider them to be heroes, notwithstanding that the attacker was yielding a knife. they followed him as he attempted to exit the mask, and they were able. to bring him down and apprehend him and hold him until paterson police and passaic county sheriff department's arrived and the rest of him. i expect him to, you know, come out of this and be forgiving of the attacker and continuing to deliver a message of peace and love. prayers have continued here throughout the day, and they will continue for the remainder of the ramadan celebration. but police here in the area have increase security here at this mosque as well as other mosques here in paterson, new jersey, which is home to one of the largest muslim communities here in the state, so this community really shocked and shaken by that violent attack, but trying to come
12:13 am
together in response to what happened this morning and trying to continue to carry on with their celebration. also just speaking about the fact that it's not just ramen. on but also it's easter and passover, and it's a time where so many different communities are trying to come together to celebrate. uh and a time of peace and unity. people here said that they were shocked by the event but relieved that it wasn't worse. reporting in paterson, new jersey, gloria passed me no cnn. still to come. israeli police boost forces amid tensions in jerusalem and thousands of worshippers come to pray will have the latest and us president joe biden heads to northern ireland this week to mark the 25th anniversary of the landmark peace accord. i'll speak with the provost of a belfast university campus about why mr biden's speech there will be historic in itself. try tied

12:18 am
tuesday, including a stop in northern ireland to celebrate an historic agreement. cnn's alit science has details from the white house. president biden is preparing to travel to northern ireland and the republic of ireland this week as he seeks to highlight not only the united states ties to the region but also highlight his own personal history. the president will depart the white house on tuesday as he first travels to belfast. well, he will be honoring the 25th anniversary of the good friday agreement that agreement that helped end decades of sectarian violence in northern ireland. after his visit to belfast, the president will then travel to the republic. lick of ireland, where he is expected to hone in on some of his own personal ancestry. president biden often talks with pride about his irish ancestry, and he will be visiting some of the areas of personal significance to him and his family. the white house, saying he will visit areas that were home to the finnegan's of
12:19 am
county louth and the blue. it's of county mayo president biden so often points back to the irish poets that he learned from his youth. and really, where's his irish ancestry? as a big piece of pride that when he talks about his family now the president will also be traveling abroad as there are a host of domestic issues facing him in his administration right here back home, including that recent ruling when it comes to medication abortion, which the white house has vowed to fight every step of the way, our let's signs cnn, the white house. again mr biden's first stop will be belfast to commemorate a quarter century of peace in northern ireland, and here's how it unfolded in 1993 key leaders fromreland's nationalist movement began talks aimed at ending decades of sectarian violence and ira ceasefire in 19 allow for peace talks to begin the next year. representatives from ireland's republican sinn fein party met
12:20 am
with a british government minister for their time in 23 years. the ira ended at ceasefire for a time, but it was reinstated in 1997. paving the way for sinn fein to take part in multi party talks at stormont . and, finally, one year later, the good friday agreement was signed and endorsed through an historic referendum. president biden is set to mark the end of bursaries with a speech at ulster university's new belfast campus and joining me now via skype from belfast is the university provost. kathy gormley. heenan. thank you so much for being with us. thank you for inviting me so president biden will be the fourth serving us president to visit northern ireland. how significant has the role of the us and its various administration has been in this peace process? do you think hugely significant, it really can't be underestimated if the
12:21 am
relationship between britain and the u. s has been referred to as the special relationship for northern ireland. it has always been a very special relationship certainly accelerated very much from that period of time when the clintons became involved during the early years of the peace process right through to the bush administration and their work on decommissioning and demilitarization, obama's work on helping encourage people apple to remove the peaceful and now biden's visit to northern ireland, which were really very excited about and which will be a very special day in the university's history. and so how symbolic is this particular us presidential visit to ulster university's new belfast campus? it's hugely significant for us ulster university's new belfast campus really is a perfect symbol of the progress that has been made in northern ireland over the last 25 years. and let me explain why that is during the conflict, the central area
12:22 am
of business belfast city center was effectively isolated and protected by security, fencing and the areas that surrounded the city center where largely left derelict and the neighborhood. hoods were very physically separated from the city center. so the relocation of our university campus right into the heart of the city center has dramatically altered this picture. we've brought 15,000 staff and students, which is the equivalent size of a small time. to work and study in the city center and the increased number of international students has really very visibly changed the face of belfast and most importantly, of all the erection of a landmark building that's constructed in both local stone and a million square feet of glass is a huge expression of the confidence in a city that has been infamous for destruction of lives and
12:23 am
property and the sound of breaking glass. so the visit really symbolically couldn't be more important for us as a demonstration of just how far we've come over the last 25 years and talk to us about how difficult and tortured. that journey has been defined peace in northern ireland. and why do you think it took 10 years for this fourth us presidential visit? well i think you know, peace is a process. it's not an event so 25 years ago was a momentous occasion for us in terms of the peace process. it was the moment at which we decided as a as a place to work in a different way together. but as i say it's a process and it's not an event. it's a marathon, and it's not a sprint and most importantly, it's a relay race, and it's not a single person track event so over the period of time since then, until all night. the baton has had to be passed on to successive u. s.
12:24 am
presidents who have retained that interest in northern ireland and on two successive leaders in northern ireland, who have taken us inch by inch further towards peace and prosperity and a brighter future for everyone that that lives here. but i think the reason why it takes a length of time is really that there's no moment were people just suddenly change how they feel how they think how they perceive in the future to be. it's certainly something that is built piece by piece and brick by brick, and that's what we've done in building our new campus in the city center and just very quickly they're still tensions. um certainly in terms of peace and reconciliation, the places transformed. it is so completely different to anyone who visits from what it looked like 25 or 30 years ago. the post brexit landscape has created some tensions, but the whole whole principles that underpin the good friday
12:25 am
agreement which were very much about inclusion, consent, equality and the rethinking of the totality of relationships are right at the heart of how we work our way through the current and political impasse that we find ourselves in the in the midst of now, all sides really want to protect the integrity of the good friday agreement and stay true to the principles that underpinned it. kathy gormley, heenan. thank you so much for joining us. appreciate it. thank you. attends calm has fallen over jerusalem, where worshippers from three different faiths converged for one of the holiest times of the year, just days after violence erupted, jewish worshippers gathered at the western wall, where the traditional priestly blessing for passover proceeded peacefully. israeli police boosted forces ahead of the prayers and other religious events, including meth, easter mass. and ramadan prayers at the alexa mosque, so let's go live
12:26 am
now to jerusalem, where cnn's salma abdelaziz is standing by. so salma what is the latest absolutely we had over the last several days. of course, these escalating tensions, this latest spat of violence that really all begin with an israeli police raid on wednesday on the aqsa mosque, but what it resulted in was for tap very measured responses if you will between israeli military forces and other palestinian militant groups in gaza in southern lebanon, syria as well entering the fray yesterday, but really, these incidents seem to escalate. with the israeli police announcing a terror attack in tel aviv. one person killed their late into the hours and then there was a couple of days of course ago in the occupied west bank, two sisters that were killed in a shooting attack. all of this just factored in to again that tense calm that you're speaking of. it has been quiet for the last 24 hours. but there was a standoff if you will yesterday in that
12:27 am
flashpoint place, of course, the old city of jerusalem where three different faiths were celebrating simultaneously. three d. different religious events. you had easter sunday mass happening as well as prayers at the western wall as well as of course, that important flashpoint complex that al aqsa complex known as temple mount to jews, there seemed to be a tense standoff there. rosemary at one point with muslim worshippers still there for prayers. the holy month of ramadan. prayers go through the night. they're extremely important to muslims during that month. meanwhile under heavy israeli police presence, there were jewish worshippers past passing through that complex. now again, all of that did pass peacefully, but you still have all of these factors in place all of these ingredients, if you will, that could potentially add to a volatile situation. escalating rhetoric from palestinian militant groups. you also have, of course, the israeli military on high alert and just across this country, just a sense of

12:32 am
into how washington spies on allies and foes alike. one of those allies. south korea says discussions will be held with counterparts in the united states after some of the documents revealed a detailed conversation between south kore national security fials regarding ukraine as a whhe topics exposed in the lake range from us support for ukraine to information on other key allies like israel, they appear to have been produced betwn mid february and early u. s officials say they you feel all of this could jeopardize intelligence sources and methods and compromise foreign relatio. the stice department confirmed to cnn that it has launched investigation into the source of e leak. cnn military analyst lieutenant general mark hertling explained why leaks like these are problematic, especially in the middle of a war. every
12:33 am
country knows every other country conduct conducts intelligence operations against everyone, friend and foe alike. but when it's leaked to an open press, it's really problematic because it really generates a lack of trust between nations. both friends and folks, uh, particularly friends, when you're also talking about a situation like we are in a shooting war between ukraine and russia, and some of the information about our intelligence assessment gets out. it can be troubling and as we've seen, as reported in these documents, it could affect the operations, which is not a good thing. you know, ukraine is conducting operations hanging on tenuously. these intelligence leaks could affect that operation and that campaign a source close to ukrainian president vladimir zelensky told cnn. ukraine has altered some of its military plans because of the leak. there are also concerns that sources who provided information about russian troops might be in
12:34 am
danger. at least two people are dead in ukraine after russian strikes hit the city of separation, officials say the rockets ripped through this residential building early on sunday, killing a 50 year old man and his 11 year old daughter. crews managed to rescue a third person from the rubble in his nightly address. ukrainian president vladimir zelensky again accused russia of terrorism. for carrying out the attack on orthodox palm sunday. dr roeder is probably this is how the terrorist state spending this palm sunday. this is how russia is further isolating itself from the world from humanity. every holy christian holliday teaches us that although we may not know how we can be sure that evil will lose. and for more on both of these stories, i'm joined by nada bashir, who is in london. good to see you, nada. so how is
12:35 am
ukraine? responding to these leaked classified pentagon documents. well it grows roof heard from a source close to present. the lenski, who has described the revelation and the u. s may have been spying on the ukrainian president as unsurprising, but ukrainian officials are said to be frustrated by the information leaked in these documents, particularly when it comes to the situation in the u. s assessments of the situation on the ground. in ukraine. one document from late february describing the battle for the donbass region as likely heading towards a stalemate throughout 2023. as you said there we are learning from that one source that the ukrainian armed forces in the ukrainian government may now have altered their military plans as a result of the information revealed in these leaked documents, so it is important to note that a senior adviser to ukraine's presidential office has said on friday that this is inauthentic . in his view. he believes that
12:36 am
the information in these documents is inauthentic and has no relation to the real plans of the ukrainian armed forces on the ground. and then, of course, when it comes to moscow. we are also learning more details from these documents about the u. s government and the full extent of the u. s government's penetration. of the russian ministry of defense, as well as the notorious private military contractor group, the wagner organization with clear documentation there, which suggest that the us government has gained an intercepted details with regards to russian targeting to a significant degree of detail when it comes to the location and timing of these attacks. he said that there is concern because a lot of this information that has been revealed in these documents is coming through intercepted communications. so there is concern now the russian armed forces may alter and change the way they are communicating in order to better conceal those plans from the likes of the u. s government. of course, there is real concern from the u. s government's confidential human
12:37 am
sources who could now be at risk as a result of this leak. and not a what is the latest than you're hearing on russian attacks in separation? we saw a barrage of attacks over the weekend as you mentioned there that strike in the early hours of sunday morning, killing at least two people, a 50 year old man and his 11 year old daughter, according to the ukrainian authorities, and authorities say that we saw barrows overtax shelling and air strikes as well as drone attacks. across the ukraine's eastern region over the weekend, a significant amount of concern , of course, as we continue to see the strikes by the russian armed forces intensified rosemary all right now to be shared. joining us live from london. many thanks. since the outset of the war, russia has been sending ukrainians caught in the crossfire to its far east in remote villages much closer to alaska than the front lines. ukraine claims many of these cases are forced deportations,
12:38 am
while russia says it's a humanitarian effort. over the course of several months, cnn has made contact with ukrainians who ended up in a town by the sea of japan, also known as the east sea. they described to cnn how they got there how they're settling in and why many say they're unlikely to go home, scott mclean reports. in the chaos of battle and people in eastern ukraine, the civilians caught in the crossfire had few good options they could either escaped to russia or take their chances as the war intensified. many of those who fled toward russia were encouraged to live and work in the far east from rostov a 4000 mile train journey to the edge of siberia and a town just a stone's throw from north korea. these are some of the first arrival, stepping off government chartered trains a year ago. why does russia want those people there? that's a great question. one is a
12:39 am
propaganda benefit, positioning these people as somehow willingly seeking citizenship in russia. the second benefit is that russia is simply needs bodies in many parts of the country. they don't have enough citizens to make those municipalities function hotel in the coastal town of rangel was where new arrivals were put up. at first, cnn reached several of them through a telegram group chat run by local volunteers, keeping a log of resident requests from baby food and toys to medicine. anyone dissatisfied with their stay is told sarcastically. to take their complaints to moscow. the kremlin putin the russian government has long been eager to populate its resource rich far east, and the state has tried several experiments to attract settlers, including those from ex soviet states. it now promises fleeing ukrainians . cash housing assistance, citizenship and even freeland,
12:40 am
though two people told cnn they were struggling to get the rent reimbursement. they say the government had promised natalia was struggling to find any housing at all, hardly enthused by her new reality. nothing's changed except the place, but i no longer have a job that i love in a home that i love them pop up, new arrivals quickly had their ukrainian passport swapped for russian ones. natalia figures she can't go back because we are criminals there because those who left for russia are immediately considered criminals by the ukrainian authorities. so i'm forbidden to go there. at this point. the absence of clarity is the biggest problem. there is understandably within ukraine a absolute outrage against those who are perceived as collaborators. but the fact of the matter is that we are dealing here with the civilian
