11:00 pm
like a bull in a china shop and he is going to kick and kick and kick. donald trump mostly, desantis, some, more than likely. but he is not afraid to be the person to do this because he knows that other people might be holding back and might have reservations, because the key is to attack donald trump without alienating his base at this stage of the game, chris christie could care less about that, he just wants to go after him. >> let's not drown out the other voices that actually have a shot at the nomination. >> he is clearing the lane for them on this mission. >> a lot of voices . >> we will see if your conspiracy plays out. thank you all for joining me tonight, that was a great analysis of this town hall, thank you all for joining us tonight, and encore of that republican presidential town hall with nikki haley, if you missed it, is next, thanks so much. hello, and welcome to our viewers joining us from the
11:01 pm
united states, and all around the world, nikki haley wants you to know that what makes her a different republican presidential candidate dan donald trump and ron desantis, we will have highlights from cnn's town hall. new video shows just how close a chinese warship came to a u.s. destroyer a live report from hong kong on the escalating tensions. plus a not-so-subtle message from ukraine's defense ministry ahead of the much- anticipated spring offensive, plus, the latest in the russian border town already coming under fire. live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom. begin this hour with the battle to win over republican voters in the race for the white house. former south carolina governor,
11:02 pm
nikki haley, is trying to set herself apart from the republican front runners pick she took part in a cnn town hall sunday night in iowa to try to convince voters why they should choose her over former president donald trump, florida governor ron desantis, and others. here's more. >> reporter: former south carolina governor nikki haley making a generational appeal to republican voters in iowa on sunday night, at a cnn town hall, telling voters she is in it to win it making it clear that she is trying to elevate her candidacy in the growing field of republican candidates. she did so by taking direct aim at former president donald trump, and florida governor ron desantis, particularly on social security and medicare. >> i know that trump and desantis have both said we are not going to deal with entitlement before, don't lie to them and say oh, we don't have to deal with entitlement reform. yes, we do. yes, we do, it is the reality. i'm always going to tell the truth is going to hurt? yes.
11:03 pm
>> she sought to walk a careful line on abortion policy. she is unapologetically pro- life, in her words, but declined to say whether she would sign a federal abortion back, saying it simply would not happen in this deeply divided congress. that could be one of her challenges as she goes forward to try to win over republican primary voters, she made the case that it is time for consensus. >> i don't judge anyone for being pro-choice anymore than i want them to judge me for being pro-life. so what can we do with consensus? that's exactly what it is, we come through with consensus and say what can we all agree on? i think we can all agree on banning late-term abortions. i think we can all agree on encouraging adoptions and making sure those foster kids feel more love, not less. >> after going through issue after issue from trade to china to ukraine and domestic policies, as well, one voter says she is a breath of fresh air. when asked directly if she faced sexism as a woman running for president, she said she did not look at it that way.
11:04 pm
she says there has never been a line for the women's room for any job that she has applied for. but then she said, it is time for a woman to break the glass ceiling. >> i'm a big fan of women, we balance, we prioritize, we know how to get things done, honestly, we have let guys do it for a while, it might be time for a woman to get it done . >> hailey is getting two more rivals this week when former new jersey governor chris christie and former vice president mike pence throw their hat into the ring. incredibly crowded, no doubt about that. first republican presidential debate in august. justin lewis, cnn. joining me now from los angeles is ron brownstein, he is a cnn senior political analyst and senior editor for the atlantic. ron, great to have you with us. let's start with the gop, what is your main take away from the gop in iowa? did any of the candidates make a good case, do you think, of why they should lead the post trump gop?
11:05 pm
>> yeah, you know, we are obviously facing a unique situation. we have not had in the modern era, former president try to come back, and he has a big piece of the party. ultimately, they are going to have to make a strong case to convince republican voters who asks him. they're not there yet, is the short answer, they are beginning to circle around themes, ron desantis saying, you know, you need two terms to finish this, we have a culture of losing i am not sure, and nikki haley is saying we need a new generation of leaders. all of this seems to me, still, a little oblique and indirect, 75 percent of republican voters are satisfied with the donald trump residency, over 70% of them think he actually won. you need to give them a good reason to move past him, no one is quite there yet. >> is shaping up to be quite a competitive republican race for president with vice president mike pence and governor chris christie now also entering the
11:06 pm
race, could we see a likely repeat of 2016 when mr. trump managed to outlast everyone? or do you think that the republicans now will coalesce around someone else more quickly? >> the dynamic is similar to 2016, but not identical. ron desantis is in a stronger position as a trump alternative, i think, than any single individual than it was in 2016, whether it was jeb bush or ted cruz or marco rubio or john kasich. i think desantis has the capacity to consolidate more of the republicans hesitant about trump than any of those data. but not in an infinite capacity. there is, in fact, kind of an overlap of the repeat of the dynamic of 2016 in this sense. in 2016, donald trump won about half of the republicans without a college degree the only one
11:07 pm
about a third of the republicans with a degree, the rest of those white-collar republicans never consolidated around a single alternative to him. that is the risk, i think, for republicans. again, many of these candidates getting into the race, nikki haley, chris christie, tim scott, even probably desantis, ultimately they appeal more to the white-collar side of the party then to the blue-collar side of the party. that is trump strength. there is a risk there is too little competition for trump. and too much competition for the pool of voters who are the most skeptical of him. >> now wrong, we just closed off a roller coaster of a week. i'm talking about that battle over the debt ceiling, which is now in the rearview mirror. what has it revealed to you about american politics? especially president biden's position? >> well, first, i mean, it is extraordinary that we went as far as we did toward the brink of a domestic and global
11:08 pm
financial catastrophe, perhaps, over such a modest set of policy goals. the ends and the means were so out of whack here, and it really gives you the feeling that the main reason for this fight among republicans was to show their voters that they were having this fight. the resolution of this shows you biden's approach to the presidency, i think very concisely in miniature. he has, at times, raised very sharp objections to republicans, two are republicans. but by and large, his instinct is to make the system more firm rather than to call republicans as a threat to it. and here, in the end, he abandoned his position which has really been the position of obama, as well, over not negotiating over the debt ceiling, not seeing political report hostagetaking two in fact, negotiate a surprisingly good deal from the point of view of democrats, didn't get a heck of a lot of what they
11:09 pm
wanted, but they got something on what they wanted. and in that sense, he did reward the hostagetaking. and so this is, you know, this is kind of the tight rope of the biden presidency, try to call out breaking of norms, threatening democracy, represented by the trump faction within the gop, but also try to show that he can work with at least some of the republicans and make the system work, he has certainly been able to reach more bipartisan deals than many people, myself included, expected, but he is presiding over an era in which you are seeing these kind of mounting threats to democracy and you have on the democratic side, those who wish he would be more aggressive at calling it out and less focused on trying to grease the system and keep it functional. >> thank you so much. >> thanks for having me. and cnn will host a town hall wednesday with former u.s. vice president mike pence live from the grandview university in des moines, iowa.
11:10 pm
he will take questions from cnn anchor and chief political correspondent, dana bash, as he prepares for his own expected presidential bid. tune in wednesday, june 7th, at 8:00 p.m. in des moines. that is 9:00 a.m. thursday in hong kong. right here on cnn. now police say they found no survivors from a small plane that crashed in southwest virginia on sunday the search is on hold for now, but the ntsb will begin investigating the set later today. the plane ventured near the u.s. capitol before going down, causing enough concern that fighter jets were sent to intercept it. and that very sound was a sonic boom heard throughout the region , caused by the f-16 scrambling overhead. defense officials say
11:11 pm
they were unable to make contact with the plane's pilot before it crashed. we have now learned it is registered to a company in florida, there were reports that the company's owners lost family members in the crash. cnn has more. >> a loud sonic boom that was heard across washington, d.c. and virginia on sunday was caused by u.s. f-16 fighter jets that were scrambling to intercept an aircraft that traveled over washington, d.c. and was unresponsive, according to a statement from the north american aerospace defense command. the fighter jets were called in in coordination with the faa to try to intercept this aircraft, where the pilot was not making contact with the f-16 fighter jets. ultimately, the plane did crash in southwestern virginia. however, the defense department says that the f-16s did not actually shoot down that aircraft. now, according to norad, which
11:12 pm
released the statement on sunday, that aircraft did fly over washington, d.c., essentially violating the airspace. and because the pilot was unresponsive, the faa worked with the pentagon in order to try to intercept this aircraft before it could potentially crash and cause any damage to civilians on the ground. the civilian aircraft, according to norad, was intercepted at approximately 3:20 p.m. eastern time and according to the pentagon, the plane crashed near the george washington national forest in virginia. there were four people on board this small aircraft however, we do not yet know the conditions of those people at this time. natosha bertran, cnn, washington. >> authorities in india are working to reopen rail lines established in one of the country's deadliest train accidents. crews are toiling in extreme heat to clear and repair the tracks. they hope to have normal service restored by wednesday. search operations ended sunday. at least 275 people were killed and more than 1000 injured authorities blame the trained
11:13 pm
high speed for the number of casualties. we are also hearing more stories from survivors. >> translator: people who are alive were shouting for help, praying to god, rescue teams were doing their best to save people a lot of people were crying. >> reporter: some are still trying to locate loved ones, unsure if they have been killed or injured. or simply unable to make contact. >> translator: they will say you get to know the hospital, i have been to all the hospitals and i found out nothing. now i'm going to find out. i just need my husband, i don't want anyone else. >> reporter: sr. international correspondent ivan watson is at the scene and has more the devastation, and what is next for investigators. >> reporter: this is the scene of one of the deadliest railroad disasters that india has seen in its modern history. on friday night, at least three
11:14 pm
trains, two passenger trains and a cargo train derailed and collided here after dark. so what you see alongside of the tracks here is at least 20 railroad cars like this one, which was reserved for passengers with disabilities and you can still see luggage, the belongings of the many people who were on board when this terrible accident took place. the loss of life is simply staggering, at least 275 people killed, more than 1000 people wounded. and the authorities say at least 100 of those survivors are in need of critical care. the disaster zone runs as far as the eye can see here with railroad cars scattered on the side of the road and hundreds of workers here in just brutal heat and humidity, with heavy equipment and also doing a lot of the work here by hand with the picks and shovels, trying
11:15 pm
to reopen the road, as you can see here, more of the railroad cars in this terrible accident. the indian prime minister came to share condolences with the families of victims and survivors to call for an investigation. the cause has been identified as a change in the electronic interlocking here, and there have been bows from top government officials to bring to justice anybody who is responsible for this accident. but it highlights both the importance of the railroad for india, more than 13 million people a day move around on trains in india. but also, a tragic history of accidents with more than 16,000 people killed according to government statistics, in 2021 alone, in railroad accidents. the authorities insist that this stretch of railroad will be reopened and operational again by wednesday morning. the
11:16 pm
bigger question will be how to make the trains in this country, and its aging infrastructure safer for future use. ivan watson, cnn in eastern india. coming up on cnn newsroom, pro-ukrainian russian dissidents step up their attacks inside russian territory. we will hear how moscow is responding. ♪ we'll dance in the street like nobody's watching ♪ ♪ it's just you and me ♪ celebrate every kiss. get zero down special financing with the kay jewelers credit card. fresh, warm hot dogs! when i'm not selling hot dogs, i invest in a fund

russia is trying to send a message that it is ready to wipe out ukraine's counteroffensive before it officially begins. a russian appointed official in occupied as aboriginal claims russian forces have propelled the ukrainian attack in the donetsk region. also says russian forces have pushed back and in creating you vans on the front lines. ukrainian officials are refusing to comment, and it is difficult to assess what might be an offense as opposed to probing moose. all that happening after a week of deadly attacks on ukrainian
11:21 pm
cities and inside russian territory exam kailee brings us the latest now from eastern ukraine. >> once again, if ever there was needed proof, they have given it. this time, with a missile strike by a scanned missile on a residential building close to the city and the dnipro, a two- year-old child was killed, 17 people, according to local authorities, were injured. this just a latest after the civilian deaths that hit this country once renewing their calls for help, with their air defenses, but similar calls are coming from authorities inside russia, in the border areas. now they say are under bombardment from ukraine, or from ukrainian backed russian dissidents, who split into two different groups, have attacked villages across substantial
11:22 pm
trip stretch of territory, now inside russia, just across the northern border with ukraine, the local authorities there say over the last 10 days, only seven civilians have been killed, 4000 have been evacuated from a number of towns and villages where they have been burning buildings and a number of artillery strikes that they blame on the ukrainians the russian dissidents have paraded a number of visitors of war. at least the people they claim to be prisoners of war. the russian prisoners of war that they have offered today to exchange with the local governor, if he agreed to meet them. he didn't make the rendezvous, and so they have posted online the commitment now to hand those prisoners of war over to the ukrainian authorities. we have got no independent way of proving whether or not these men were prisoners of war. we do know that these russian dissidents are very fast on the draw when it comes to social media and this is very much part of their campaign to try
11:23 pm
to spread the dissident message, to try to spread, ultimately, some kind of revolution against vladimir putin. the last few days he has picked up that energy, responding and exalting his subordinates not to fall for the falsities, not to allow those forces to catch fire in their own country. sam kailee, cnn in eastern ukraine. >> let's go now to claire sebastian in london, claire, good morning, both sides racing for that much discussed counteroffensive. what can you tell us? >> i think at this point , it is fairly clear it has to be imminent or at least, that we are very deep into what appears to be shaping, softening operations on the ukrainian side. part of that is happening in the information space, the defense minister ukraine, putting out over the weekend this video, take a look at that.
11:24 pm
so that's clearly urging silence around this counteroffensive. the caption of the video is plans love silent. beginning, we see many of the counteroffensive will not be announced. the effect, though, quite the opposite, keeps us talking about the counteroffensive, it follows on from another video where the commander in chief of the ukrainian armed forces just over a week ago, similarly trailer style, showing western weapons. they're allowing the suspense to build around this resume ugly so russia does not have time to take a pause, to regroup, to retool, they continue to probe their defenses, combined, of course, with the incidents, attacks across the border which kailee was just talking about. told russia not to be outdone, putting out its own video, of what it says is a foiled ukrainian large-scale offensive in the southern donetsk region,
11:25 pm
which it says, this is the video here, was able to destroy a large amount of ukrainian equipment and troops. we have not been able to verify that ukrainian side is not admitting to it. in fact, this morning, the communication director of ukrainian armed forces warning that russia is intensifying information operations, includi counteroffensive, so the information space is very important here, overall, president zelenskyy over the weekend say in an interview with the wall street journal that they are basically ready, even without the addition of f- 16 fighter jets. >> sebastian reporting, thank you, as always. sunday was russian political dissidents navalny's 47th birthday. human rights activists say at least 90 of his supporters were detained by police after they took to the streets to call for his release from prison. video shows a woman who was detained in a moscow square from walking with a balloon
11:26 pm
that reads happy birthday. there are no estimates of how many people participated nationwide and cnn cannot independently verify claims of the numbers detained or their status. the volley is serving a nine- year sentence in a maximum security risen outside of moscow. about to go on trial again on extremism charges, which could result in a 35 year prison sentence. nato secretary general says sweden has fulfilled its obligations for admission to the alliance, sultan berg was in istanbul on sunday, meeting with recently re-elected turkish president erred no one, turkey has blocked weed in session to nato, because it accuses stockholm of housing, quote, terrorist organizations. swedish, turkish, and finnish officials will meet next week to discuss sweden's membership meanwhile, hundreds of demonstrators in stockholm, protested that new terrorism legislation mentioned.

station. a wall of mud and rock crashed into workers at a mining facility. state media says the rescue phase of the operation is over, and the investigation is underway. a close naval encounter in the taiwan strait is ratcheting up tensions and rhetoric between the u.s. and china. that moment coming over the weekend with sent over a chinese military ship, sailed in front of a navy destroyer, causing the u.s. vessel to slow down to avoid a collision. cnn's following developments is now live from hong kong with the latest, a very close call. while the u.s. and china were locking horns at a security conference in singapore, there was that near collision at sea, tell us more. >> yeah, it was interesting, over the weekend, u.s.-china
11:32 pm
friction was on full display in two places, in singapore, asia's largest defense security form, and in the taiwan strait. on saturday, we had warships from china and the u.s. that were involved in a near collision. and now we have new video released earlier today of this close encounter. so this is what happened here. take a look at this video. the u.s. and canada were staging a transit through the taiwan strait when you see that vessel straight ahead. a chinese ship cup in front of the u.s. warship there was military says the chinese vessel came within only 150 yards. that is about 137 meters of the u.s. ship", unsafe manner. that forced the u.s. ship to slow down to avoid a full on collision. hours after this happened in the taiwan strait, meanwhile, in singapore, china's defense chief accused the united states of creating chaos in the region. he was speaking at singapore's security for him. he said this, quote, they're not here for innocent passage,
11:33 pm
they are here for provocation, unquote. now the chinese defense chief also said, in his speech in singapore, that the u.s. and china so sure to seek common ground of common interest. but, keep in mind that china earlier rejected an offer from the pentagon chief to meet face to face at the summit, formerly, citing sanctions on chinese individuals and companies. austin, he expressed deep concern about this lack of high- level literary communication between these two powers, when he gave a speech at the singapore summit on saturday to bring up the statement for you, this is what lloyd austin said u.s. defense secretary said, quote, responsible leaders, the right time to talk is anytime. the right time to talk is every time the right time to talk is now. u.s.-china relationship is at a very low point, the lowest point in decades, and the two are loggerheads over a slate of issues from trade to taiwan to access to technology to territorial issues but some engagement is happening.
11:34 pm
in fact, on friday, u.s. officials told cnn that the cia director secretly traveled to china last month to help reset relations. and also, keep in mind that handshake that took place in singapore. secretary often shook hands with his chinese counterpart but that was it and it was only a handshake but that high-level military talks, that single gesture is not enough to cool the tension. >> all right, reporting, thank you so much. just ahead, a private plane dropped off more than a dozen south american migrants in california on friday . now, state officials are investigating how they got there and if any laws were broken.
11:37 pm
11:38 pm
proving officials tell cnn they will hand over to interpol on thursday, which will in turn deliver him to american authorities. his sets is dan trial in the u.s. on extortion and fraud charges for allegedly trying to extort holloway's family after she disappeared she was last seen alive with van der sloot and two other men 18 years ago at a nightclub . california says 60 migrants from colombia and venezuela were flown to the state capital on a private jet, and dropped off at a church without prior warning. they were allegedly lured there with promises of jobs, clothing, and shelter. now california officials are investigating who transported them and whether any laws were broken. cnn's camilla bernard has the story. >> reporter: officials here in
11:39 pm
california say they will get to the bottom of this. it is now an ongoing investigation, both the governor and the attorney general here in california say they met with these migrants that, according to the nonprofit group that is taking care of them, says is 16 people from venezuela and colombia, all in their 20s and 30s. now in terms of their journey, we know they were in texas and they were taken to new mexico in new mexico they boarded this private jet that brought them to sacramento, california. once they were here in the state of california they were dropped off outside of the office of the diocese of sacramento. and according to officials here , there is going to be an investigation into all of this and, of course, the documentation that these migrants have. according to the attorney general in a statement he released, this is what he is saying about that documentation. he says we can confirm these individuals were in possession of documentation purporting to be from the government of the state of florida. that statement then goes on to say state sanctioned kidnapping is not a public policy choice.
11:40 pm
it is immoral and disgusting. the attorney general is looking at potential criminal and civil options here for the people that either arranged the transport or transported these migrants he is also saying he is looking into who paid for all of this and whether or not these migrants were given false promises or misled into coming here to california. now there is a faith-based nonprofit organization that is taking care of these migrants. they say they will continue to support them in whatever they need, and also say these migrants had no idea, where they were or where they were going. but they also had questions in terms of how they got here, and what happens next with their legal process here is a representative from that nonprofit group. >> we are happy to receive , and welcome them and want to give them whatever support they need. they will be in trouble if they don't show up at the court hearing that has been scheduled
11:41 pm
for them. >> of course there's a lot of questions as to what happened here in california and who sent these migrants to california but officials here say they will investigate while also treating these migrants with dignity and respect cnn los angeles. >> cnn has reached out to state officials from texas and florida for comment. prince harry is expected in london's high court early this week as he sues a reddish tablet. the trial resumes monday in his lawsuit against the publisher of the daily mirror. terry is one of more than 100 high profile people suing mirror group newspapers his lawsuit accuses mgm of law unlawful activities, including phone hacking to obtain private information. mgn is contesting most of the claims, although it would apologize for one instance and agreed that harry is entitled to compensation. thanks for joining us for

with saudi arabia bowing to/oil production, the white house says it is mainly focused on prices for u.s. consumers. saudi says it is cutting output by another 1 million barrels a day, starting next month, in order to boost prices. u.s. officials say they simply want to ensure supply meets demand. so that gasoline prices stay low. they dropped significantly over the last year, largely because oil prices have come down the price of crude, the world's benchmark, has nearly been cut in half since early last year the u.s. debt ceiling crisis now in memory. economist and investors trying to figure out where the u.s. economy goes from here. the dow posted its biggest single day gain of the year friday, up more than 2% investors cheer at the debt ceiling deal and that favorable
11:47 pm
jobs report. but more moderate thinking appears to be taking over now with u.s. stock futures for monday barely moving. it is not clear if inflation has tanked quite yet, and with no two key inflation meters due out in june, just as the fed decides on its next interest rate move, money managers may be poised to take a cautious approach. joining me now from los angeles is ryan patel, he is a senior fellow at the drucker school of management of clermont graduate university. so good to have you with us, ryan, the debt ceiling fight seems to have been resolved. does this now mean the governor gets a clean slate? are things stable now? reacted. >> it is never that easy. i think the markets have reacted accordingly that they felt that this was going to occur. but it has been a role coast year. everyone halfway throughout the year, and i believe, if you are
11:48 pm
still going to see the roller coaster down the road in the next six months. i think that this is one step that has gone great but guess what? now we are going to be talking about inflation. we are going to be talking about that meeting which is coming up in a couple of weeks. how is that going to play out next so yes, the markets haven't really came back to say he everything is great because uncertainty still ahead but we did pass one test, but we are not out of the waters yet. >> not out of the waters yet, let's talk inflation, you mentioned it there. what is the situation we are facing right now with this ? all of this mean for attempts that are made to defeat inflation? >> let's be very honest, i'm going to be very honest here, we're not out of the woods even close when it comes to knowing that we dealt with inflation. now are we in the same situation we were six months ago? no, but we are not in the situation we thought we were going to be where we are going
11:49 pm
to start decreasing the interest rate and have a better control. guess we saw last month the unemployment rate here in the u.s. had dropped from, increased 3.7, we saw grow, we did see the last one state report from the labor department, certain numbers that, the increase of job openings, so that obviously puts a wrench into the fed, which then goes 10 times in a row, we've seen the increase in the rate. so in june, when it comes up, i believe the fed should freeze or pause the interest rate to get more data, what they are going to do in july. that would be the best case scenario. >> but the fed doesn't do that during its next meeting? >> that means it is going to increase it, and it is going to be the 11th time in a row. it will cause some market to, i don't want to say wrath, but we are going to see when is it going to be enough? i think the fed, if they are going to increase it by 25, 50, they have to really give the reason on what that aspect is i think the fed here really need to decide what the long-term strategy is going to be since we haven't seen the numbers go the way they want to. so
11:50 pm
