south, towards the sea if they are trying to push south, areas are flooded, forcing the river to do that. becomes much more difficult. one adviser to the zell ensky h deterred ukraine from doing so. russia has hit the residents of crimea. the water supplies are there. they exchanged them for certain opportunities for the offensive. that's the hint coming from the ukrainian side this morning. >> thank you very much. we'll bring you more on the war in ukraine later on the show, including the latest attacks across the border into russia. a swimming pool flood at mar-a-lago is raising suspiciouses of prosecutors looking into the handling of classified documents and

possible obstruction. it comes amid signs the investigation could be winding down. >> reporter: the top federal prosecutor handling donald trump after he left the presidency, that prosecutor took a meeting on monday with a team of defense lawyers representing donald trump. they met at the justice department headquarters in washington, d.c., along with a career official from the justice department who sat down with trump's lawyers. this is the sort of meeting that appears to be coming at the final stage or in a final stage of this criminal investigation around the former president. and around what happened at his estate, mar-a-lago. and potentially other places throughout his business empire. we don't know exactly what happened at this meeting at this time. but it is quite significant that people in the justice department would agree to meet with trump's lawyers whenever they had requested this.

there are potentially additional people that could be brought in to the grand jury investigation. we believe one witness will speak to a grand jury in florida this week. this is a significant moment for the justice department and for donald trump's legal peopteam a they prepare a indictment against the former president. we were able to understand the obstruction of justice part of the criminal investigation. that's because we learned and were able to confirm a flood that happened at mar-a-lago at the resort in october of last year. that flood flooded a room. there wasdraining of the pool in mar-a-lago, that went to a room that stored the videotape and the surveillance of the

property. the justice department has looked at a lot of things over the past year. one of the things that prosecutors pursued is what was happening and how was the trump organization responding to multiple requests for surveillance tapes. the maintenance worker that decided to drain the pool at mar-a-lago and caused the flood in the room, that person was caught moving boxes. it is a moment that prosecutors have been asking about, ask they ask about many different things that's happened with the surveillance footage and the moving of boxes at mar-a-lago in this investigation. the field of republicans seeking the party's nomination for next year's u.s. presidential election is growing. mike pence has filed his paperwork to run. he plans to announce his bid on wednesday, just ahead of his

appearance at a cnn town hall. this puts him toe-to-toe with his former boss, donald trump, who had this to say about pence's bid. >> i wish him a lot of luck. he's a nice person. we had a good relationship until the very end. i wish he would have put the votes back to the legislature and legislators, also. we disagreed at the last moment in time on that very issue. i wish he would did that. and i think he would be doing better in the polls. new hampshire's republican governor chris sununu, he won't be entering the presidential race. he has sharp criticism for trump's candidacy. >> the math has shown that he has no chance to win in 2024.

he won't win georgia. you have no shot. sh he's proven that. a vote for him in the primary is a vote for joe biden. >> i spoke with a senior of the new republic and i asked him of the challenges in the race of the nomination. we talked about donald trump's ongoing legal battles. here's part of our conversation. >> pence still polls at the lower end. we have to wait and see. i think he will get an unusual amount of attention from the former president because this is his v.p. he sees his candidacy alongside the announcement as a betrayal. he sees counterpunching as knocking out his former vice

president early in the primary. that's what we're looking at for pence. >> let's look at president trump's ongoing legal troubles. why do you think they requested this meeting? is it normal? >> it's har 's to hard to say. it's clear that trump's lawyers are taking this seriously. while it's unclear if they're asking for a deal or to settle, that's a trademark reaction of the former president. he's always eager to make a deal and make things go away. that very well could be.

>> could these ongoing legal challenges impact the run? >> absolutely. that's why he's privately worried about it and vented about his legal issues. he sees his candidacy as a shield against indictment and the various legal troubles dogging him. prosecutors do not see that as a problem. we know that because he's been fingerprinted in a televised news cycle, brought to a courthouse in new york. he's not impervious to any of the lawsuits. >> our thanks to daniel strauss for his insight. catch cnn's town hall on wednesday. he will take questions from cnn anchor and chief political

correspondent, dana bash, as he prepares for the expected presidential bid. i enter the question for truth and justice. and the presidency is just one vehicle to pursue that truth and justice, what i've been trying to do all of my life. >> with that, another candidate is entering the 2024 race. this time, from outside the republican party. cornell west will be running as a candidate for the people's party. he started in politics during the u.s. civil rights movement. he's become known as a voice of radical political thought. authorities in india, are launching an investigation into

slams into an immovable object. you get trains overturned as if they were children's toys. days ago, this was the scene of one of the deadliest train disasters in history. the railroad has been reopened. and we can see a brand-new modern train moving down the tracks here. that's as scores of people are looking for loved ones. the accident was caused by a switching malfunction. a passenger train was moved on to a track on a track that had a train car, where there was an approaching passenger train coming from the other side.

that mistake led to catastrophic results. as you see, the alrrailroad has been reopened. another train is moving right now. the railroad system is essential to this country. 13 million people around around on trains in india. that's part of why authorities have worked so hard to reopen the rails after the train crash. this is an example of a railroad station in the indian countryside. it happens to be just within sight. you can see the lights where the terrible train crash happened on friday night. the next day, india's prime minister was supposed to go

inaugurate a new high-speed train. instead, had to rush to the crash to survey the recovery efforts and meet with some of the survivors. the indian government has great ambitions to modernize this country. there's a lot of work to be done to maintain aging and essential infrastructure. >> ivan watson joins me live from india. as you have been reporting, rail services have resumed. but the investigation into the crash is ongoing. what more are you learning about where that stands? we witnessed how officials were interrogating some of the railway workers that were in charge of signaling. this was taken place at the scene of the disaster zone.

authorities have promised to bring people to justice. it's not clear if the train was equipped with one of the accident ava dance systems. some say it did not have that. it could have prevented the disaster from taking place. maybe before rolling out high-speed trains, do you need to have slower trains equipped with some of this? as the railway is reopened, and we saw crowded passenger trains rolling through the crash sigte packed full of passengers. you can get a sense of how full the train was when the accident happened on friday night.

you have the grim work of identifying the victims of the crash. more than 180 of the victims have been identified. but there's a lot of difficult work to do. authorities are trying to get information to help with that. they pledged for free transport for bodies to back to open places. that's a big deal for families at low income levels. any of the talk, compensation, has pledged 500,000 rupees for the families who died. none of that replaces the loss of a loved one.

miscal miscalculations. animosity is growing inside of china. will ripley explains. >> on the streets, in the skies and on the sea, rising rhetoric. and the u.s. warns real danger of military confrontation. flare-ups, fueling fears. chinese state media adding fuel to the fire. blasting the air waves where public perception of the u.s. plummeted. more than hoff of those surveyed have an unfavorable impression of the u.s. the u.s. keeps picking on china. it feels like the u.s. is bullying china. another making his views career. i don't like the u.s. all bad things are caused by the u.s. many americans have similar views about china. countering beijing has rare

bipartisan support. the u.s. and china seem to be spiraling closer to conflict. the u.s. accused a chinese warship of cutting off a navy destroyer. the u.s. says both ships came 150 yards, less than 500 feet, of each other. the u.s. destroyer has measures to avoid a collision. close encounter lloyd austin called extremely dangerous. austin speaking at this asian defense summit in singapore. china rejected a proposed meeting. the only interaction, this handheadache. general lee had plenty to say after the near-collision. they are not here for peaceful

passage, he says. tensions are high and getting higher. just days earlier, a mid-air incident caught on camera. a chinese jet dangerously close to a reconstance plane. the u.s. calls this an unnecessarily aggressive maneuver. china says it was accusing the plane of deliberately intruding into china's training area. washington rejects the territorial claims over all of the south china sea. saying the united states will continue to fly, sale and operate where international laws al allows. tensions raising, after a taiwan trip by house speaker nancy pelosi last year.

china claims sovereignty over the democracy. launching two rounds near taiwan. adding to u.s. concerns of a miscalculation with massive consequences. the white house says top u.s. officials brought up the near-collision at a meeting on monday. just the fact that there is a meeting is a welcome development. animosity between the u.s. and china has been on the rise in recent months. the brief thaw when president biden and president xi met in november, has resulted in an inability for both sides that have high-level talks. that there's a meeting in beijing could signal a turnaround. coming up, ukrainian
