hello. and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. you're watching cnn newsroom and i'm rosemary church.

former president donald trump is traveling to miami later today. that's ahead of his federal court appearance this week, where he will face a 37-count indictment. that indictment is sparking rhetoric from some of the former president's supporters. thousands of people have evacuated as a volcano in the philippines spews gas and lava. we have a live report from hong kong. former u.s. president donald trump is expected to head to miami to huddle with his legal team ahead of tuesday's federal court appearance. where he will face trillion charges of his handling of classified documents after he left office. >> reporter: the level of detail and evidence that the justice

department has begun into this case has started to sink in. and donald trump's own attorney, bill barr, one of his top people in hid own administration who went to bat for him multiple times, saying the investigations should not be taking place previously, was condemning the actions of the former president after he left the white house, because the indictment is so explicit, because of the evidence that it has, the photos of documents in a bathroom of mar- mar-a-lago. documents in a storage room. and 31 charges representing a document that donald trump is accused of willfully holding pertaining to classified, national security information. here's more of what bill barr had to say on fox naews.

>> if half of it is true, he's toast. it's a detailed indictment. and this idea of presenting trump of a victim here, a victim of a witch hunt is ridiculous. he was wrong he was right to have the documents. the documents are among the most sensitive streets the country have. they have to be in the custody of the archivist. he had no right to retain them. he kept them in a way, that if anybody cared about national security, their stomach would turn. >> reporter: now, this indictment approved by a grand jury in florida, a process will kick off in the court system at this courthouse in dime. donald trump is going to be traveling. he needs to get here and face his charges in tern. he will be traveling to miami

on-month-old. and his bodyman is also charged as part of the alleged obstruction part of this investigation. and they will stay at a resort, his resort, near miami, huddled with lawyers. trump will come to court on tuesday and will have secret service protection about him. there will be no live pictures or photographs coming into the building to face the charges for his initial appearance. there's no photos in federal court and no videos inside the building, either. he'll have that proceeding, be read his charges and we expect him to enter a plea of not guilty. afterwards, he will turn political again. he will be flying back to bedminster, new jersey, where he has another resort and he will

be giving a speech. i spoke with analyst ron br brownstein, and jessica levinson about the trump case. and i talked about the legal ramification of the charges he is facing and when the trial might start. >> this is real. some of the counts carry decades in federal prison. if the department of justice is able to convict on half of the obstruction charges here, the former president is facing serious time in federal prison. i'm avoiding your question of exactly when this trial will happen because that is up to a judge's discretion on how quickly or slowly this process will move.

aileen cannon was approved for this case. she ruled an on issue related to this case, dealing with whether or not there should be a special master. and she made a ruling that was completely baseless. was overturned by the 11th circuit. it looked like a piece of advocacy, not a ruling from a judge. if the president wants this to take a long time, he has the right judge to make that happen. >> we have seen trump gain support from his legal woes in the past, of course. could these more serious charges end up helping or hindering him? >> i think the answer is both. all of the charges accumulating against him and the others that seem to be heading our way from georgia and from another, the special council relating to his efforts to overturn 2020, outside of the republican

coalition, polling suggests it's having the kind of effect you would expect. the majority of americans, beyond the republican coalition, are saying if donald trump is convicted of a crime, that's disqualifying to serve as president. in a cbs poll, a clear majority of viewers outside of the republican coalition, say they view the mishandling of classified documents as a genuine national security threat. inside the coalition, the effect is very different. once again, as for the last eight years now, we've seen the vast majority of republican officials speak out in defense of trump's claims, that he that he is the victim of a witch hunt. and few voices countering that.

as a result, what trump has been able to do is set up a construct, in which, moving away from him in the primary process is rewarding those that are persecuting him. that makes it difficult for the other candidates, this is as you would expect, not exactly a calling card to win back the white house in a general election. officials in pennsylvania say it could take months to repair a section of highway that collapsed on sunday. this is interstate 95, in philadelphia, which was heavily damaged when a fuel tanker truck caught fire. the city's mayor says no injuries or deaths have been reported so far. local and federal investigators are trying to find out what started the fire.

>> reporter: big questions we don't have an answer to is why and how this collapse happened. the governor and the mayor were not giving answers on sunday evening. we do know how this went down. just before 6:30 sunday morning, a tanker truck was sitting underneath i-95. the tanker truck caught fire. and the fire led to the collapse of the northbound lanes on i-95. the governor told us on sunday, the southbound lanes are not safe at this moment. the truck is currently trapped underneath that wreckage. we've been hearing jackhammering and heavy machinery working through the day to sift through that trouble. while there's no reported injuries, the governor said they are looking to see if someone was alive in the truck when that happened. there's 500 tons of concrete mess on the ground. that's what officials have to sift through. listen to what governor shapiro

said when he laid eyes on this incident first. >> remarkable devastation. i found myself thanking the lord that no motorists on i-95 were injured or died. a devastating sight. first responders, law enforcement and others contained quickly. under the leadership of secretary carol and others, the hard work of clearing the site, rebuilding it, will be under way. we will move as quickly as possible. >> reporter: this cleanup could take some number of months. this will be a traffic nightmare. this stretch of i-95 carries 160,000 vehicles every day. it's likely the busiest in the state of pennsylvania.

despite the damage, first responders were able to secure the scene in a short amount of time. here's part of his comments to cnn on sunday night. >> environmental had this fire under control in about an hour. one hour, really. under control doesn't mean it's over or out. it's not going anywhere. the incident is not going to break containment. it will be a long time for recovery and traffic on i-95 will be rougher than usual for the next several months, i expect. coming up, ukrainian forces are raising their flag in front line villages. we'll tell you about the latest efforts to push russian forces out of their country. we'll speak to a ukrainian parliament member about how the dam collapse is affecting people in the region. good thi

fighting around zaporizhzhya and kherson. ukrainian forces have liberated villages along the front lines. three villages in the donetsk region have been recaptured. and russian pro-military bloggers are warning its forces should expect the pressure to intensify soon. russian forces are pushing back claiming to destroy weapons and equipment. good morning, claire. what are you learning about liberated villages and what it means for ukrainian troops. >> if you look at the map, you can see potentially the strategy here. these are small villages. ukraine may have liberated another one this morning. they're in the front line of the border of donetsk and

zaporizhzhya. that's the narrowest strip of land. part of the purpose of this counteroffensive is to cut russian gains in half to interrupt, essentially, its land bridge to crimea. this particular area would make sense. what we do understand, looking at the evidence from the ba battlefield reports, is that ukraine is not limiting itself to one area or one access. we're hearing about fighting in bakhmut where ukraine is playing down the significance, saying this is not part of a broader offensive. there's fighting in the kharkiv region, as well. a video was put out but ukrainian land forces, where they claim to be destroying a russian tank. we can't verify that it but it

seems there's fighting going along the front line. the ukrainians are suggesting that while russia is attacking in the donetsk front, they are in defensive mode, in the southern front in zaporizhzhya. we know russia has spent months building up anti-tank defenses and things like that. we're witnessing, perhaps the early stages, smaller wattles in the buildup to counteroffensive. ukraine is staying quiet about this. >> understandable. claire sebastian, many thanks. the ukrainian member of parliament for part of the odesa region. he joins me now from the city of odesa. thank you for talking with us. >> thank you.

i want to start by asking how critical this liberation is. and how significant it could be for your war-torn nation. >> it is important for us. i was happy to be one of the first to report of the result of the odesa marines. they liberated the last village. it shows that our counteroffensive has success. it's the early stages but what it is important that it's not a stalemate. we're breaking through russian lines. it is difficult. the russians are entranched. but despite this, our army's moving ahead. we're keeping fingers crossed and plraying for them. >> this is the early stages of the counteroffensive.

i do want to talk about the announcement by president z zelensky, that the control collapse is looking at the collapse of the dam. what can you share about this and what evidence do you have that shows russia was behind the collapse of this dam? >> absolutely. this is an awful crime. it was manually organized by russians. we don't have a video of how russian officer is saying hello, i'm blowing up the dam. what do we know? the explosion was from inside the dam, not outside. there was seismic activity at 2:00 a.m. and no shelling at this time. russians are saying there was

shelling. there was no shelling at all. we know one week before this, the russian government decided to stop any check-in of dams on the occupied territory. yesterday, russians again destroyed the dam. but a much smaller one in the zaporizhzhya region with aim to stop ukraine and use the river. that's the tactics and the playbook. we hope the criminal court, that issued a warrant against putin because of his genocide and the kidnapping of ukrainian children will warrant putin as a criminal. >> we've been looking at some of

the visuals there of ukrainians waist-deep in water. how has this impacted the lives of people? >> you can imagine. their life is destroyed. i saw everything by my own eyes. i was there. kherson city was first occupied by russians. then, tortured, killed, raped by russian army. now, they destroyed it with a flood. many people killed. it's an environmental catastrophe for years and decades ahead. i'm concerned. where are all of the activists? many organizations who should be in kherson and ukraine. i'm waiting for greta thunberg to come to kherson. that's an environmental catastrophe for the biggest of

the last decades. i don't see them seeking near the russian embassies throughout the whole world. that's something that should be done. >> and russia is blaming ukraine for the dam collapse. >> russia is blaming ukraine in the war. putin said he never wanted to attack ukraine. and he says that ukrainians are killing themselves. ukrainians destroyed the power in the winter to freeze ourselves. now, we destroyed our dam to kill our people. this is russian logic. it's clear who did this. who started this car. who made this. only russians do do this. spreading what russians are

telling, it's already something that should not be done at all. our thanks to you for joining us. appreciate it. more than a day after american travis leak was destained on drug charges. his mother says she has yet to hear from anyone in the u.s. government about his current status. >> reporter: a court of moscow has accused an american of engaging in the narcotics business. and he will remain detained until august. there were officials from the u.s. embassy there at his arraignment hearing yesterday. travis' mother has not heard from the state department as of sunday. she is concerned of the welfare of her son being imprisoned in

russia. she is concerned about his health and well-being. she will reach out to the u.s. government. this arrest, of course, comes at a time of titaned tensions between the united states and russia. we've seen them detain numerous americans. two of the americans have been deemed wrongfully detained by the u.s. state department. last year, brittney griner, who was freed in a britain swap, was arrested on drug charges. travis had been living in moscow, reportedly since 2010. and about a decade ago, he spoke with the late anthony bourdain about the state of repression in russia. he cited an incident that happened with mtv and his band and the russian government. take a listen to what he said about that. >> this was a documentary series about musicians standing up and risking their lives in some

cases. stand up against government abuse of power, government corruption. and yet, a foreign government was able to control what american viewers see on the tv screens. >> we will be continuing to follow this case. people see what the u.s. government has to say about travis' arrest. they will continue to monitor the case closely. the wnba's phoenix mercury says they will make adjustments for the safety of their players, after a man harassed brittney griner at the dallas airport on saturday. the man was yelling at griner about the merchant of death, likely a reference to viktor bout, the russians arms dealer that griner was traded for.

the confrontation got so heated, the man was tackled and law enforcement was involved. the teammates describe the incident as unnerving and alarming. donald trump is set to meet with his attorneys ahead, as he p prepares for a historic appearance. the latest on his legal troubles. plus, will they or won't they? wall street waitswonders if the federal reserve will raise interest rates this week for an 11th-consecutive time.

working to identify any possible threats. the fbi is aware that various groups have been discussing traveling to south florida to show support for trump. >> we're seeing a lot of chatter online. right now, no specific or credible threats of violence according to law enforcement officials that we have spoken to and experts that monitor this kind of stuff online. we're not seeing anything like the lead-up to january 6th, 2021, where there's a mass mobilization effort on facebook and effort to get people to come to washington, d.c. because of january 6th and the prosecutions stemming from this, a lot of organizing has moved into private channels.

there could be organizing happening in the darker corners of the internet. we're seeing some right wing personalities to show up outside of the court in miami on tuesday. in terms of the rhetoric, we're seeing a lot of the stuff online. i want to show you what kari lake said friday night in georgia. if you want to get to president trump, you have to go through me and 75 million americans of us like me. we're card-carrying members of the nra. that's not a threat, but a public service announcement. the experts say that's the talk that can encourage online who may want to show up and, perhaps engage in violence. one quick programming note.

anderson cooper will host a republican presidential town hall with former new jersey governor chris christie live from new york. that's monday at 8:00 p.m. in new york. 8:00 a.m. in hong kong right here on cnn. the former scottish minister has been released with charges after being related to a probe into the national party finances. police are investigating funds specifically earmarked for a referendum campaign. this marks the third high-profile arrest in the investigation. they were also released with no charges. she says she knows beyond doubt she is innocent of any wrongdoing. u.s. federal reserve officials are set to meet this week. who they will do about a

possible 11-consecutive rate hike is the talk of wall street. the fed has been raising rates to calm inflation. but it might skip a hike this month and see how the previous increases are working. last month's strong jobs report complicates things and could prompt the fed to make a modest move. if it chooses to skip raising rates this month, it can go to raising them in july. ryan patel joins us now from amst amsterdam. appreciate you being with us. >> great to be on with you. >> what do you think the federal reserve will do? >> i need to find the pause

button. i'll hit it for them. they need to hit the pause. that's what they are leaning towards. the last three days, we acted positive. they think the fed will do that. most likely later raise it again. to give a little break, to see the data further and be more hawkish. this is a great point for them to pause, and give a little breathing room. based on what we've seen the last couple months. >> interesting you say that pause now. maybe raise a little later. what does the federal reserve look for when the board makes a consequentials decision like this? whether to raise interest rates and by how much? what's the data that signals to them that they need to act? >> there's a couple things. looking at historical basis. unemployment is very low.

they are watching that. the labor growth market or the way the wages continue to rise. and the consumer price index. and the new data that will be important. to see what the data says this month. to see if inflation continues, from shelter to housing to food. those are the things they are looking for and see how the economy continues to be resilient. that's what they're seeing. >> the markets will be happy if the fed decides to hit the pause cutten. at what point does raising interest rates become an overcorrection and trigger recession? how does the fed know when it's close to that point? >> that's a great point. i think you and i have been talking about this. i think we are getting there,

the stickiness. this is where the needle is. if you do too much, it can cause that aspect. we saw the banking crises and all these things that are teetering. if they pause it, it shows signals that the fed is paying attention to the other variables. they are going to be aggressive. nothing is changing about that. they will continue. continue to do more hike raises later, even though they are taking a pause. that's the important factor here. they're not going anywhere. they will still try to get to the 2% inflation number. that's a long way from being hopeful. i don't see them being not as aggressive. >> how much has the easing of the debt ceiling crisis and the banking sector problems had an impact on the fed decision this week?

>> i think it has. the last couple months, did it scare them. the debt ceiling is not something that the u.s. economy can handle in default. he made remarks around the bank turmoil, as well. the timing of all this is a good for a pause to buy another month. a couple mants ago, we weren't in a good position. >> let's see what happens. ryan, many thanks for joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you, rosemary. pope francis' recovery is going well after surgery. we'll have a live report from roam rome. thousands evacuate as a volcano in the philippines spews

welcome back, everyone. pope francis is recovering well from abdominal surgery. the pontiff took a few steps and worked for a few hours in the hospital. he followed the holy mass live on television and received the eucharist on sunday. and gathered in prayer for the recitation of the angeles at a little chapel in the hospital. we go live to rome. what are you learning about the health of pope francis and how he is recovering after the surgery? >> we're expecting to get the morning health bull ten. last night, he took a few steps.

this is an 86-year-old man. with saw him suffering publicly. he was in a hospital behind me for infectious bronchitis and then a three-hour surgery. it's good he's on his feet. everything the doctors say are progressing in the way it should be. and that's hugely important. he has two big trips coming up in august. one to portugal and the other to mongolia in august. pope francis has been suffering from numerous ailments of late. popes generally serve in that post to the very end. didn't with pope benedict. talk to us about what happens to

a situation like this, when it gets to a point where a pope is going through so much suffering that it seems impossible for him to continue in that service. what happens? what backup plans are made? >> the vatican is a fine, oiled machine. if the pope becomes incapacitated. if he signs a letter of resignation and is not able to make a decision on his own. there could be -- most popes make it to the end. pope benedict famously retired, that led the way to the election of pope francis and two popes before benedict died this year. if this pope were to pass away or to resign, there would be a conclave, the college of cardinals voting for a new pope.

nobody wants the talk about that. this pope is on the mend. we expect that e we may get a glimpse of him from video or photo. everybody is hoping he recovers. he's a man of resilience and incredible strength and stamina. there's something to be said that he is suffering in public. everyone else can live this way, too. suffering is part of life. many thanks. we're getting new images of the team that rescued the four children who had been missing for weeks. this shows local scouts and colombian soldiers feeding the children in the dense jungle.

from the volcano in the philippines, 13,000 residents have been evacuated and taken to some 18 evacuation centers. at least 88% of the local population have been evacuated. thousands of families there. officials are working to move the rest to safety. the volcano has been spewing gas and lava in the last day or so. want to show you this video from last night. you can see the glowing crater of the volcano. alert level three is in place. that means there is a possibility, the danger of explosive activity. any entry into a six-kilometer radius has been prohibited. there's no major industries around the volcano.

but there's some farming. in addition to the residents evacuated, officials have evacuated 10,000 farm animals. it's in this southeastern part of the island. and the philippines itself is in the ring of fire, of course. volcanic activity, earthquakes, tremors are common. and we'll continue to keep our eyes on the most active of the volcanos. it's known for its near-perfect cone shape, which has inspired artists and stories and legends. it's awesome in its beauty. and given what's happen right
