10:02 am
burnett. and he discussed a wide range of topics, including leaks about his meeting with america's cia director, as well as his blistering assessment of vladimir putin's vulnerabilities after the brief revolt by wagner mercenaries. >> mr. president, you know, you recently said that you have dealt -- and i'll quote you the way it quoted -- with different putins. it's a completely different set of traits and different periods. now of course he's faced a rebellion, an attempted coup from yevgeny prigozhin. have you seen any changes in how you think he's acting, in his behavior, since the attempted coup? >> translator: yes, we see the reaction after certain wagner steps. we see putin's reaction. it's weak. firstly, we see he doesn't control everything. wagner's moving deep into russia and taking certain regions shows how easy it is to do.
10:03 am
putin doesn't control the situation in the regions. he doesn't control the security situation. all of us understand that his whole army is in ukraine. almost entire army is there. that's why it's so easy for the wagner troops to march through russia. who could have stopped them? we understand that putin doesn't control the regional policy, and he doesn't control all those people in the regions. so, all that vertical of power he used to have just got crumbling down. >> do you believe he's fully in charge of the military right now when it comes to your frontline and this counter offensive, do you believe putin is fully in charge of the russian military? >> translator: i don't think he fully controls all the processes. he gives orders to the commanders. it's understood. they are scared to lose their jobs. but he doesn't understand and doesn't control the middle layer of the russian military, nor the
10:04 am
lower rank officers and soldiers. >> zelenskyy has also acknowledged difficulties on the battlefield here in recent days but says his forces are making progress. cnn's ben wedeman is on the ground for us in eastern ukraine. ben, what else did zelenskyy tell cnn? >> reporter: well, a lot of interesting things, brianna. one of them is that as far as ukraine is concerned, this war will not be a complete victory for them until they get control back of crimea, which has been under russian occupation since 2014. he also, zelenskyy, touched upon but would not go into any detail about the recent visit to kyiv by cia director william burns. >> translator: we cannot imagine ukraine without crimea. and while crimea is under the russian occupation, it means only one thing, war is not over yet. >> to be clear, in victory, in
10:05 am
peace, is there any scenario where crimea is not part of ukraine? >> translator: it will not be victory then. >> i know the u.s. cia chief bill burns has come to visit you regularly. he was here recently. what did you tell him about your plans to take back territory in the counteroffensive? >> translator: to be honest with you, i was surprised to see the information in media both in the u.s. and ukraine and european media. my communication with the cia chief should always be behind the scenes. and the media attention, because we discuss important things, what ukraine needs and how ukraine is prepared to act. we don't have any secrets from cia because we have good relations. and our intelligence services talk with each other. i don't know what were other contacts. i don't really remember which media i read it in. the situation is pretty straightforward. we have good relations with the
10:06 am
cia chief, and we are talking. i told him about all the important things related to the battlefield, which we need. >> and what was widely reported was that burns wanted to talk about -- talked about the current ukrainian counteroffensive and also the possibility of a negotiated settlement to the war by the end of the year. brianna? >> what are you seeing, ben, of the counteroffensive from where you are? >> reporter: what we see is that the fighting is intense, and the ukrainians are saying that, for instance, over the last week, they have been able to seize in the south, south of zaporizhzhia, and in the bakhmut area, a total of 14 square miles, not an awful lot of territory. we know that the russians have redeployed thousands of troops from elsewhere along the
10:07 am
600-mile front to the bakhmut area to reinforce their troops there. but it's a well-established fact the russians had many months of fore-warning that this counteroffensive was coming. and clearly they have dug in deeply, put in extra armor, artillery, and troops. so, the going has been very difficult for the ukrainians. we have no idea about casualties on either side, neither side has put out any reliable figures in quite some time. but in short, the battle is very difficult, and progress has been slow. brianna? >> ben wedeman live for us in eastern ukraine. thank you so much. and you can watch erin burnett's full interview with president volodymyr zelenskyy. that will be wednesday night at 7:00 p.m. eastern. boris? let's get some perspective now from former nato supreme allied commander general wesley clark. he's also a cnn military analyst.
10:08 am
general clark, great to see you, as always. we appreciate you sharing part of your holiday weekend with us. let's start with your assessment of zelenskyy's view that vladimir putin is getting weaker. do you agree? >> well, i think that certainly putin is facing challenges that perhaps he hadn't anticipated. whether this actually makes him weaker or makes him stronger remains to be seen. if president zelenskyy and his intelligence services say that putin's weak, i'm willing to listen to this. but the past record of challenges like this indicates that dictators take these challenges in stride. they use them to identify those who are not supporting them and eliminate them. and they come out stronger in the end. and that's my concern here. >> general, something stuck out to me about zelenskyy's interview with erin burnett. there was some reporting there
10:09 am
that indicated that he's anticipating a potential ceasefire before the end of the year. he also said he was surprised that his conversation with the cia director went public. what of his plans do you think is realistic? >> well, on the one hand, president zelenskyy says that he can't imagine a win without crimea. on the other hand, if you look at the state of the battlefield right now, the relative balance of forces on each side, the fact that the russians are really fighting from a prepared defense, it looks to me as someone who's looked at these battles historically and many other times, that the ukrainians simply don't have the combat power to get into crimea without fire power, without the attacms without the warfare, without the ability to target deep and go
10:10 am
after russian reserves. this is a grinding battle. and they're still fighting really in the first echelon the security zone of the russian defense. so, maybe president zelenskyy understanding, you know, he wants crimea. but maybe he's going to not be able to get it. that's, i think, the kind of undertone i got from that. >> and i'm wondering about that effort to retake crimea. you had a list of items that you said they would need in order to do so. is that something that would require more investment from the west that it has already provided to ukraine? >> much more investment because what we're not really able to report on is russian innovation and russian efforts. and the russians, they're not standing still on this. now, we've made a lot about the fact that the russians are poorly trained and they've thrown people willy nilly into battle and they've taken huge losses and stuff. but the russians are also
10:11 am
developing new technologies. they're trying to strengthen their electronic warfare, jam the drones. they're drams the himars system now so it's not as effective at striking precision targets deep. we haven't given the ukrainians really the ability to go deeply enough to go after russian helicopters and other assets that are inside ukraine and striking the ukrainians to try to move forward. and as general zelenskyy said, he said, you nato countries, you never do a big attack like this without air power and trying to get air superiority. that's one thing, of course, that ukraine doesn't have here. so, i think if we want to see ukraine really advance effectively on the battlefield, they do need more outside support, including more modern western systems and electronic warfare, the long-range missiles, but especially electronic warfare. and because that's so highly
10:12 am
classified, we've been very reluctant to give them the latest systems. >> so, general, back to the question of a potential ceasefire before year's end. if they don't try to retake crimea, is that a realistic proposition? >> it is a realistic proposition, but it's not necessarily a good proposition. look, putin is in this to win. he's not in it to get a ceasefire. and he's not willing to take a ceasefire at this point. now, if ukraine stops fighting, gives russia more time to strengthen its forces, and they could move forward again. and so they could break a ceasefire once they've signed it. so, i don't think a ceasefire is a solution to anything. i hear discussions in the u.s. media and u.s. academic circles about an armistice and making it a korean solution. and wouldn't it be wonderful if everybody wanted to stop fighting. but, you know, that depends on a
10:13 am
balance of power and strength. and in the korean war case, eisenhower had to deploy an atomic cannon to korea and stalin had to die before there was an armistice in korea. so, as long as putin wants to keep fighting, as long as putin thinks he has a long-term advantage, as long as the west is holding back its most modern technologies while russia is putting its most modern technologies into the fight, we've got an asymmetry here that makes it look like it's difficult to get a lasting solution. >> yeah, that example of the korean peninsula is really stark when you consider that demilitarized zone has not been the epitome of peace, especially in the last few years. >> generally wesley clark, thank you so much for the perspective. always appreciate it. >> thank you. >> jim? now to an alarming spike in violence in the middle east, where israel has launched its largest military operation in
10:14 am
the west bank city of jenin in more than 20 years. the palestinian health ministry says at least eight people have been killed. israeli military says its forces were attacking terrorist infrastructure, saying jenin has become a hub for terrorism and seven of the eight people killed were carrying weapons. gunfire and explosions could be heard from the streets. large billows of smoke followed. hadas, this is part of a spike in violence we've seen in recent weeks really. i wonder, what evidence has the israeli government presented as to what is behind these particular attacks? >> reporter: well really this has been going on now for a year and a half, these regular israeli military raids into various cities in the occupied west bank. this is in response, they say, to a wave of palestinian attacks targeting israelis. but jenin in particular has been
10:15 am
a hot spot of militant activity and of some of these new militant groups that sort of have some varying ties to the more established ones, like hamas and islamic jihad. what we saw overnight, this was by far the largest israeli military operation in the occupied west bank period since 2002. so, we're talking about the days of the second intifada, when israeli tanks were rolling through the streets of palestinian cities in the west bank. there were hundreds if not up to 1,000 israeli forces operating in jenin. they utilized air strikes from drones, and there were bulldozers ripping up the streets of jenin. there was to try to get rid of ieds there. and also there were tanks. they were not inside jenin itself. but they were on the outskirt of jenin. i cannot emphasize enough how just the sight of israeli tanks on the outside of a palestinian city, how much that brings back the memories of the violent days
10:16 am
of the second intifada. the israeli military said they started this surprise operation around 1:00 a.m. with these air strikes. they say they've been targeting command centers for militant groups. they say they've been targeting weapon sites. they say they've been finding rocket launches, engaging with militants atmos ks and saying they've discovered tunnels underneath the mosques. apparently this operation is still ongoing as we speak. and fire fights are still erupting as we speak. of course what that means for the civilians in jenin means they've been holed up in their houses now for hours. we know at least 8 palestinians have been killed, at least 80 others have been injured. the question now, jim, is will this spill over into other cities in the west bank? israeli military saying they're keeping this focused. hamas, the militant group that runs gaza has been calling on
10:17 am
its members to strike israel wherever it can. >> we've seen many of these operations, civilians are often victims as well. thanks so much. red flags raised years ago. the warning that a former oceangate employee sent about the doomed "titan" sub and the ceo who built it. we have some new reporting coming to us from t new yorker detailing an extensive paper trail on this. plus, it wasn't just georgia. how donald trump may have tried to get arizona's governor to overturn his loss there as well. and the manhunt for people who turned a baltimore block party into the site of another mass shooting. two people are dead, nearly two dozen teens injured. muscle, bone, and hearart health. everyone: wowoo hoo! ensure with 25 vitaminsns and minerals. enter the $10,000 nourishing moments giveawaway. was also the first time your profits left you speechless. at the counter or on the go, save 20%

i'm sholeh, and i lost 75 pounds with golo. i went from a size 20 to a size 6. before golo, nothing seemed to work. i was exercising for over an hour every day. it was really discouraging. but golo's so easy, the weight just falls off. we are learning of more missed warning signs for the company behind the "titan" submersible that imploded on a mission to the "titanic." david lock ridge, who was a
10:22 am
former oceangate employee, who claims he was wrongfully terminated for raising red flags, once sent an ominous email to a colleague about the doomed vessel, adding, that sub is an accident waiting to happen. he said about stockton rush, i don't want to be seen as a tattle tell, but i'm worried he kills himself and others in a quest to boost his ego. rush died in the tragedy. joining me now is ben ta of t new yorker who wrote this story. you received this report by david lockridge. it details so many issues he found with the sub during an inspection. tell us more about what he found in this report. >> sure. yeah, david lockridge was perhaps the only highly experienced submarine pilot who worked at oceangate at the time. and he was hired as their director of marine operations.
10:23 am
as part of that role, as they transitioned from the building phase to testing phase, he was required to sign off this was safe to dive. he was raising concerns on the factory floor for much of the latter half of 2017 and was just constantly being dismissed, at which point he decided he was going to take this serious inspection report and he was going to detail everything in writing and submit it in writing to stockton rush, the ceo, and the director of engineering. and in this, over the next sort of day -- it was january 18, 2018, so more than five years ago, lockridge inspected every major component of the sub and found that glue was coming away from the seams of the ballast bags, plunge holes, grooves that deviated from standard parameters. everything that could go wrong was sort of going wrong. there was snagging hazards. there were important components attached with zip ties,
10:24 am
flammable floors. and highly toxic gases upon ignition the number one concern were lockridge was the core of this submarine, the pressure boundary, which is what keeps people alive at 3,800 meters where "titanic" is, where the external water pressure is about 6,000 square pounds per square inch, is made of carbon fiber, which is not used in deep ocean submersibles because it's a compressive material. it's not used to be used under compression. it's strong under tension but not under compression. he examined a section of it and found that it was filled with, you know, little holes. he held a -- it was delaminating, these layers. it was porous. he held a light behind it and found that the light was streaming through. and he refused to sign off on the dive. and stockton rush said because he refused to sign off on this testing, you cannot do your job as director of operations.
10:25 am
so, he fired him on the spot. >> in a way, he was doing the job, ben. and he was fired for doing his job. and you have to wonder what would have happened if he'd been able to actually do his job. so, you have in this -- you also share instances where rush, he seems to take personal offense to criticism, right? because lockridge knows people outside of oceangate, and there's a cohead of a company that actually has a classed titanium sub. of course, this sub, the submersible that imploded, it was not classed. and this cohead of this company says to him, basically warning him. and he lashes out, stockton rush does, saying he's tired of industry players who try to use a safety argument to stop innovation. he seemed so confident that he was doing something new and different and that he was being t
10:26 am
stymied by people saying it was in the name of safety. but he's convinced it wasn't, even though truly clearly it was. >> yeah, at the end of the day, this tragedy comes down to hubris. it was a matter of this kind of, you know, silicon valley disruptor attitude. but it wasn't about beating the other companies. it was about trying to beat physics. and you're not going to win that. and they didn't win that. it was sort of blindingly obvious for years that this sub was not being constructed in a manner that would work under great pressure. you can build a sub that's experimental, but you can't take passengers in it. that's completely illegal. they structured the company such that it was falling outside u.s. jurisdiction in various ways. they had steps taken so they weren't passengers. they are classified as mission specialists. but how can you have a 19-year-old kid that's a mission specialist?
10:27 am
it's completely incoherent. and i imagine this will continue for a long time in court because you can only call something an accident if it's truly an accident. if there's five years of explicit warnings from engineers explaining, this is how it will implode, and you refuse to take them seriously, there has to be a point someone takes responsibility for that. dave lockridge, for his part -- mm-hm? >> what's the lesson here on classing. he was so, stockton rush, resistance to having his submersible classed. what is so clear in your report is how essential that process is to providing a submersible that is safe for people to go to these depths. >> yeah, 3,800 meters is not actually -- you know, it is an extreme depth. let's be clear. it is not unprecedented. nothing he was doing was breaking boundaries. the boundary breaking part was trying to do it in a sub that was unclassed and was clearly designed to do what it did,
10:28 am
which is to fail. class submarines have been going to the "titanic" since the '80s. one of the guys in my article had been using soviet submarines built in the '80s. others in the article -- because i happened to be at sea with them some years ago for a much more serious venture, where they were sending a manned submersible that was classed to the deepest point in each ocean. the deepest point in the pacific ocean is 11,000 meters, triple the depth of "titanic." and from that sub, they took the guy from the classification agency from the bottom of the mariana trench. he signed it was unlimited depth. in that sub in a spherical sub, not a cylinder, which will get crushed under pressure, that titanium sphere hull -- the "titanic" didn't even count as a dive for classification insurance reasons. every 100 dives you have to do inspections. if it's above 4,000, it's not
10:29 am
even a dive. so, the notion that stockton rush was doing something innovative is a complete lie. and basically he had to change the narrative around the point that it became clear they would never get it classed because it was going to be a failure. and the way they did that was to lie to their mission specialists, their passengers who they misclassified on purpose for legal reasons, that they stopped trying to say it was safe. they started telling them explicitly, oh, yeah, it's incredibly dangerous. you might die. you have to sign a waiver. the lie there is this is how serious operation is done. dave lockridge actually did raise this with the u.s. government. af he was fired, he was so concerned about what was going on that he shared his report with osha, the occupational safety and health administration. that report was passed on from osha to the u.s. coast guard, and there's no evidence of any follow-up from there. that was march of 2018.
10:30 am
>> you make that so clear. he tried to raise some flags. and in the end, he was buried in legal bills, as you described in your report. ben, excellent reporting. i think it's such an important lesson for so many people, not just when it comes to submersibles and deep ocean exploration, but anything that could be unsafe. it's a really important read. thank you for being with us and sharing it. >> thanks very much for having me on. i appreciate it. >> boris? a new cnn kfile investigation reveals that donald trump once argued that a president under indictment would create a constitutional crisis. hear trump in his own words warning about the situation he's now in himself. plus travel records broken, as severe weather impacts airports across the country. we're tracking the travel delays and cancellations this fourth of july weekend. stay with us, "cnn news central." we're back in moments.

former vice president mike pence is now responding to new reporting on a white house pressure campaign to attempt to upend the 2020 presidential election. sources tell cnn that soon after the election, former president trump called arizona then-governor doug ducey, trying to enlist him in an effort to find widespread fraud. and trump also repeatedly pressured pence to help him.
10:36 am
kristen holmes has been looking into this for us. what more is pence saying about these phone calls? >> just a little bit of context on these phone calls. we knew trump and ducey had spoken, but we didn't know exactly what they said. now i learned over the weekend that in private conversations, ducey has told people close to him that he was being pressured by the former president to try and find voter fraud to overturn the results of the 2020 election. i also learned that pence made several calls to ducey during this time frame. this is important because we know that pence was being pressured by the former president to try and find voter fraud to overturn the election results. pence is responding to this reporting. here's what he said this weekend. >> i did check in with not only governor ducey but other governors in states that were going through the legal process of reviewing their election results. but there was no pressure involved, margaret. i was calling to get an update. i passed along that information
10:37 am
to the president. and there was no more, no less than that. >> so, this is a new phone call, and there's a couple of notes i want to make about it. we know about this phone call in georgia that trump made that was recorded with secretary of state brad raffensperger, when he was asking for votes. that is also part of the special counsel's investigation, we believe. we know jack smith has reached out to raffensperger, that he has sat down with him. that's not the same case with ducey. one, we are told there is no recording of this conversation. two, we are told that the special counsel has not reached out. i do want to make one other note here, which is the governor's press secretary said that this is in the past. it's time to move on. but we have to point out that former president trump is still running for office. and a lot of what he is running on is this idea that 2020 was rigged. so, whether or not for former governor, it's clearly not for the former president and for the american people who have to listen to this all the time. >> may be in the rear-view mirror for the governor but not so much the special counsel and
10:38 am
fani willis, who is investigating that phone call trump made to raffensperger. thanks so much. jim? >> more on donald trump's words and how they may be coming back to haunt him. cnn kfile investigation found some 2016 comments from trump on how damaging it would be to the country if a president were to be indicted. he was attacking his election rival, hillary clinton, at the time. trump, of course, is under state and federal indictments on allegations of business fraud and mishandling classified documents. the cnn kfile director, andrew kaczynski is here. you're good at finding what folks have said in the past and audio and video proof of that. tell us what you found here. >> you can't serve effectively as president if you're under federal indictment for mishandling classified information. donald trump said that six years ago in 2016. now he of course finds himself under federal indictment for
10:39 am
allegedly mishandling classified information. and donald trump didn't just say this once. he said there's upwards of a half dozen times at the end of that 2016 presidential campaign, after james comey reopened that investigation into hillary clinton's private email server. now, trump did say this numerous times, saying there would be a possible constitutional crisis if hillary clinton were to be elected president. take a listen to just a few of those clips that we found. >> we could very well have a sitting president under felony indictment and ultimately a criminal trial. it would grind government to a halt. >> if she were to win, it would create an unprecedented constitutional crisis that would cripple the operations of our
10:40 am
government. she is likely to be under investigation for many years. and also, it will probably end up, in my opinion, in a criminal trial. i mean, you take a look. who knows? but it certainly looks that way. >> so, we did reach out to the trump campaign, to his representatives, to ask about those old quotes, how he squares that with today. but we didn't hear back from them. >> of course that very same allegation is what led to those famous "lock her up" chants that he is so frequently in relation to hillary clinton. and kaczynski, good work, as always. thanks so much. brianna? a roller coaster in north carolina is shut down after a huge crack was found in a support pillar. ahead, what more we are learning about this dangerous discovery. like the subway series menu.
