i'm starting a private equity fund that specializes in midcap. you do you. switch to xfinity mobile today. - [announcer] do you have an invention idea but don't know what to do next? call invent help today. they can help you get started with your idea. call now 800-710-0020. welcome to our viewers join us in the united states and around the world. bianca i week. just ahead -- >> smiles, hugs and tears. as five americans detained inside iran for years are finally freed. >> it is very good to be able to
1:01 am
say that our fellow citizens are free. >> world readers gathered in new york, set to kick off the united nations general assembly in the hours ahead. >> the war in ukraine as always will be something that overshadows much of the next few days. >> in a startling accusation, canadian officials say the killing of a sikh leader may have been an assassination carried out on the orders of the indian government. live from london, this is "cnn newsroom" with max foster and bianca nobilo. >> it is tuesday, september 19, 4:00 a.m. in washington where a group of americans are expected back on u.s. soil very soon. they were freed as part of a deal that will see $6 billion in
1:02 am
iranian assetsnfrozen. o of the americans septpent fiv years, a third for three years in prison. two have not been publicly identified. >> the freedom of these americans for so long unjustly imprisoned and detained in iran means some basic things. it means that husbands and wives, fathers and children, grandparents, can hug each other again. can see each other again. can be with each other again. so it is a day that i'm grateful for. >> becky anderson has more now on this difficult deal and how it came together. >> reporter: smiles, hugs and tears. as five americans detained
1:03 am
inside iran for years are finally freed and on their way home. among them, namazi who was arrested while on a business trip an charged with having relations with a hostile state. after nearly eight years in prison, he was iran's longest held american prisoner. feeling abandoned by the u.s., he appealed directly to president biden in an unprecedented interview with cnn from inside the notorious evin prison. >> the over hostages and i definitely need president biden to finally hear our cry for help to bring us home. >> reporter: also freed there are two dual iranian american citizens. one arrested while on a trip in
1:04 am
2018, and also a businessman with his wife who moved to iran in 2017 was also detained in 2018. on similar charges to that of namazi. for years their fate tied to tensions between the two countries. but with the help of a common friend in qatar, breakthrough diplomacy brought us to this very moment. iran freed the dual citizens in a deal to release five iranians held in u.s. prisons and to unblock $6 billion in frozen iranian funds from south korea. that cash moving from seoul to switzerland before being transferred to go that oig after the biden administration issued a sanctions waiver clearing the way for the money to move. the role ofof qatar now changin from mediator to guarantor,
1:05 am
ensuring the billions are strictly controlled and only spent on humanitarian goods. but critics worry even with doha's oversight, the monies could be spent however tehran decides. there is also concern this latest deal enables what many critics have dubbed tehran's hostage diplomacy. but for the freed americans, today at least politics will likely be a secondary concern as they finally get to go home after years of mental and physical anguish. becky anderson, cnn, doha. >> and nic robertson is with us. undoubtedly good news personally for these families. but in terms of the political fallout that now follows, it is all about the deal and whether or not it is seen as appeasement
1:06 am
or a ransom payment. >> and it is an extreme political environment. the policy of the united states is so divided at the moment. we're in a campaign season running up to the next presidential election. and so republicans are taking a shot at democrat president biden over what he's done here. but the reality is that democrats and republicans have negotiated with hostile governments to get americans freed from captivity. think of president trump when he met with kim jung-un, it was only a few days before several americans were released by the north koreans. kim jung-un got a different price there. he got to be on the world stage, he got to meet president trump, he got the attention that he was seeking. so there are different deliverables other than money and in the case that the biden administration is making which is accurate that this was iranian money that had been -- that they paid -- that was being held by south korea, and all
1:07 am
that has happened now has been put in an account that iran can get access to it, but there are controls and monitoring what it does. it has to be used for humanitarian goods. so there is a win narrative on the part of the white house, but it has put them in a position where they will be pilloried for this as they are for many things in this tense political season. >> absolutely. thank you so much. mitch mcconnell is criticizing the deal, he says biden administration is rewarding and enseptember advising tehran's bad behavior. and mike pence also spoke out in a speech at the hudson institute in washington. >> just days after the biden administration announced its secretive deal with iran including releasing operatives and paying tehran $6 billion, it was once again proven that it is
1:08 am
no real surprise weakness a rouses evil. it is remarkable to think as we gather here today the biden administration just extended a visa for the president of iran. a man responsible for genocide. iranian president who just arrived in new york to speak at the united states. when i'm president, i won't give criminals like raisi a visa to set foot on american oil and we'll never pay ransom to terrorists or terrorist states. now to the georgia election subversion case. a federal judge says he will decide soon on jeffrey clark's bid to move his case to federal court where he could encounter a more favor only jury pool. but we're told the judge appeared skeptical and was advisably annoyed in the hearing. clark is one of the ex-president's 18 co-defendants
1:09 am
indicted for allegedly trying to overturn the state's 2020 results. two experts weighed in on clark's chances. >> i think it is bad news for clark. looks like that he will be tried in fulton county georgia. and it also is a sign for donald trump. if you are going to try the same idea, you might have to testify. part of the problem for clark is he didn't testify and without that testimony, it looks like it is really going nowhere. >> i think the judge was very frustrated over the fact that we were having an effort area hearing without much evidence. and so that was really not a particularly i think great dynamic for clark and his team. i think that the testimony today by the former civil division chief was really very significant because it made it clear that the prerogative that exists to enforce election law on a federal level would come from the civil rights division
1:10 am
or the criminal law division which were not divisions that jeffrey clark was part of. the other important pinkimportas that the letter where jeffrey clark drafted a letter to urge the general assembly here in georgia to convene and overturn the election, that he did not do that at the direction of former president trump. in fact at the time that he was concocting this letter, donald trump probably didn't even know his name or barely knew who he was. so he couldn't claim that he was doing it at the president's direction either. >> donald trump's former lawyer rudy giuliani is being sued by his former attorneys for unpaid legal fees. a law firm that represented giuliani in 2019 says he owes more than $1.3 million. and in that time period giuliani has faced serious or various lawsuits and criminal investigations including the election interference case in the u.s. state of georgia.
1:11 am
giuliani has said publicly that he is struggling to pay his legal fees. world leaders gathered in new york set off to kick off the general assembly in the hours ahead. joe biden is amongst those delivering remarks today before holding a bilateral meeting with the u.n. sepcretary-general. he is the only leader of the permanent five members to attend. leaders will discuss climate change to the war in ukraine. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy will attend the annual meeting in person and set to address the assembly in the coming hours. he will be seeking more support for his country amid the ongoing war with russia. monday mr. zelenskyy visited ukrainian soldiers undergoing treatment and rehabilitation in new york and he also honored some with awards. mr. zelenskyy is set to meet with president biden an us laurplaurp lawmakers later this week.
1:12 am
drones killed one person and three inal weararehouses caught fire. and cor of ukraine land es ss troops have successfully russianse line on the eastern front and liberated tw keevillages around bakhmut region. military officials say overall the situation remains difficult because forces are fighting to claw back every inch. katie polglase is joining us. a lot of narratives going on. >> absolutely. and it is worth reminding our viewers that the stiincident in lviv and civilian toll while we see the battleground movements, we're also seeing the diplomacy now playing on out in this morning with zelenskyy courting various leaders around the globe.
1:13 am
and also civilians going about their daily life in ukraine that are impacted by the war and constantly at risk. we're hearing reports that one man died because of those drone attacks over lviv. and the mayor saying it was only humanitarian supplies there, nothing military in those warehouses. huge fires set off as a result of the attacks. this is ongoing throughout. and while zelenskyy is in new york, he will be demonstrating this kind of incident to leaders to explain why he so desperately needs more weaponry, more support, more allied help throughout his counteroffensive because the russian attacks don't stop. that he needs more weapon he is claiming. he keeps talking about the long range missiles, and he has secured some aid from germany. and he says he needs more from all of his allied countries and drew shally into the winter months. because not only are the attacks
1:14 am
difficult for civilian, but as the cold weather arrives, the infrastructure that russia may target will make civilian life even harder. and if the counteroffensive was to slow or to stop and that is the risk if they don't keep making this progress, the fear is on the battlefield that russia will then have the time to refortified those defensive lines. so really two risks in the months ahead as we go into the winter months and all of this will be on the agenda and what zelenskyy will be talking about with world leaders as he arrives in new york today. and the wreckage of a u.s. fighter jet that crashed in north carolina has been located. authorities have been securing the debris field to start the recovery process. the plane went down sunday near charleston. the pilot did eject safely. no word yet on what caused the incident. in the wake of the crash and two others over the past six weeks, the u.s. marine corps has
1:15 am
ordered a temporary pause in flight operations. the pause scheduled to last two days while the crashes are investigated. they don't appear to be connected though. there is no sign progress in talks in united autoworkers strike, but the news is a bit better north of the border in canada. we'll explain. plus protests in libya, local residents demand officials be held accountable after the floods destroyed the city. and diplomatic swipes after a sikh leader was murdered on n camenadian soil. from one serving. to help keep me sharp. try new neuriva ultra. think bigger.

1:20 am
discussion was constructive and focused on where we can find common ground to reach an agreement. but there is still a wide divide between the roughly 20% pay raises that the big three have offered versus the 40% demanded by the union. for now nearly 13,000 auto workers across the u.s. including roughly 3800 here in toledo will still on strike making about $500 a week in strike pay and yet so many tell me they are prepared to strike for as long as it takes. >> if we sign up for a second job, we can't make more than $499 or we won't be eligible for strike benefits. so i still want to find something else do to make a couple extra dollars. with kids, you never know what could happen, so you need some type of backup. >> how long do you think this will last? >> i hope not too long. i'm hoping at most a couple
1:21 am
weeks. but we'll have to see. we're in it for long haul. >> reporter: the head of the union has said more facilities may strike in the days ahead if deals are not reached which could create even more disruptions for ford, general motors and stellantis. gabe cohen, cnn, toledo, ohio. residents in derna are demanding accountability from officials after deadly flooding. residents blame government officials for not giving them enough warning to evacuate in time. critics are also highlighting the fact that experts knew as early as last year that the city was vulnerable to floods and the dams required maintenance. roirts reports that the municipal council was dismissed. florida and european union has released $5.2 million in humanitarian aid for those
1:22 am
affected by the floods. the eu say the funds will be channelled through partners already active in the country to help with shelter, food, hygiene and more. eu says they have allocated nearly 6 million euros in aid. larry madowo is joining me with more. we did hear pretty early on that there was concern about the state of the dams, but actually the numbers wouldn't are been as high, would they, of casualties if they had managed to evacuate sooner. >> reporter: and that is why there is this anger about the early warnings that were not heeded and no properly communicated. even the head of the u.s. support mission in libya said if these early warnings happen maybe the crisis could not have been avoided but the numbers of the dead and those missing could have been released. and so that is why you see the protests, people accusing local
1:23 am
administrators of neglect, not having done enough to prevent the came tags trophy, not maintaining the dams that broke dumping record amounts of water in the city. and they want those officials they feel are responsible, that legal action should be taken against them. listen to one of the protestors. >> translator: first of all we pray that all the martyrs will rest in place and i hope this is the eptd of the catastrophes. we just ask that no libyan company be involved in rebuilding. everyone in derna are corrupt. it should be left as it is or a foreign company should be involved. the souls of the martyrs will not be in vein. >> reporter: this has -- almost 4,000 people killed, the numbers could be much higher. more than 9,000 missing.
1:24 am
that is just one tragedy. the other the u.n. is warning that send devastating crisis could occur with so many people exposed to contaminated water and lack of sanitation and likelihood of disease outbreaks remains very high. >> larry, thanks for bringing us the latest. still ahead the biden administration coming under fire for its arrangement to bring home american prisoners from iran, but this is not the first deal of its kind. and trump is taking aim at rival ron desantis over the issue abortion. details ahead. with this tomorrow.
1:25 am
1:28 am
if you are just joining us, let me bring you up-to-date with the top stories. joe biden will deliver remarks at the united nations general assembly in a few hours. world leaders will discuss a host of issues. and we're expecting the plane carrying five americans to freedom to land anytime now in the u.s. they were released from iranian detention as part of a deal that included unfreezing $6 billion in iranian funds and release of five iranians in u.s. custody. joining me now here is director
1:29 am
of the middle east and north africa program at chatham house. thank you for joining us again. it will be great news, isn't it, personally for all of these five people to land back in the u.s. and there will be a lot of celebration rightfully so. but the fallout politically will con continue. all the talk about the biden administration appeasing the iranians. i know it is a hot political atmosphere in the united states right now. but where do you sit on whether or not this was appeasement or something that just had to be done? >> thank you for having me back. i sit strongly on the side of i'm very happy to see the american hostages come home. and i think even who has languished in prison would like someone to come for them and i'm glad to see that president biden wasn't afraid to put himself on
1:30 am
the line. indeed iran is a tox heic assets a partisan issue in the united states and many countries around the world. what is really needed is for policymakers in western capitals to develop a bipartisan strategy to manage policy relating to countries like iran that take hostages, there needs to be a coordinated western approach to prevent this hostage taking from snowballing. >> former president trump said that he manages to bring -- he managed to bring hostages home and money never exchanged hands. what do you think of that? >> iran remains this pendulum swing between republicans and democrats. president trump also withdrew from the iran nuclear agreement where iran was compliant. he set the ball in motion for tensions with iran to escalate and he didn't get a bigger better deal.
1:31 am
he is very critical of everyone else's policies but into the particularly critical of his own. >> and some democrats saying that they were just being honest here, the white house, because they said the money was part of this deal even if it wasn't american money, whereas many of these exchanges happened with money passing hands but no one really finding out about it. how true is that? >> that is -- i can't really speak to that. that is hard to say. but i think that the reality is that it is important that hostages that are held abroad and there are many more still left behind in iran do come home and do get the support of their government. and this is exactly what has happened. >> and in terms of what you expect to see today, obviously two of the americans aren't being identified, but do you expect to see some celebrations
1:32 am
on the ground there or what will we actually see when they land, which could happen anytime now? >> i don't know if the two individuals want to be known or unknown, but i can say that we should be celebrating people coming home. nobody should be languishing in jails abroad. and i hope that the international community led by president biden will make a big push to bring the remaining foreign nationals and dual nationals held in iranian jails home and there are other cases in other countries as well and they deserve our attention. >> okay. thank you so much for joining us with your insight. former president trump is planning to ramp up his campaign in iowa the next few weeks. a spokesperson says trump is looking to solidify his lead over the field including over ron desantis. trump is expected to make five trips to iowa through october
1:33 am
with his first visit on wednesday. this comes as trump is going after desantis for signing a florida law that bans most abortions after six weeks into a pregnancy. trump who appointed three supreme court justices that led to the overturning of roe v. wade now criticizing his party over its message on abortion as he avoids laying out a clear position position. trump says he could negotiate a deal between republicans and democrats as he blasted the florida six week ban. >> detank take money yus is willing to sign a fiks and six week ban and i think that is a mistake. >> and the florida governor pushed back. >> anytime he did a deal with democrats, whether it was on budget, whether on the criminal justice first step act, they ended up taking him to the cleaners. he will make the democrats happy with respect to right to life.
1:34 am
i think all pro-lifers should know that he is preparing to sell you out. >> former president says he will skip the second republican primary debate in california next week and will instead give a speech to current and former union members in detroit where the united autoworkers union has recently gone on strike. he has said that he is unlikely to debate any competitor but joe biden. relations between india and canada are going from bad to worse with canada expelling a senior india diplomat and also kicking out a senior canadian envoy. that is after canadian prime minister said india could be behind an assassination carried out on canadian soil. justin trudeau says credible allegations link the indian government to the deadly shooting of a prominent sikh leader in british columbia. he was a want ted te wanted ter
1:35 am
india. paula newton explains. >> reporter: canadian officials say the killing of a prominent sikh leader in june may have been an assassination carried out on the orders of indian government. >> over the past number of weeks, canadian security agencies have been actively pursuing credible allegations of a potential link between agents of the government of india and the kill of a canadian citizen. >> reporter: justin trudeau says he confronted india's prime minister with the allegations in a face-to-face meeting last week as narendra modi hosted the g-20 summit. >> canada has declared its deep concerns to the top intelligence and security officials of the indian government. last week at the g-20, i brought them personally and directly to
1:36 am
prime minister modi in no uncertain terms. any involvement of a foreign government in the killing of a canadian citizen on canadian soil is an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty. it is contrary to the fundamental rules by which free open and democratic societies conduct themselves. >> reporter: the killing remains unsolved. pointed police say that he suffered multiple gunshot wounds without sitting in a vehicle outside a sikh temple. homicide investigators say two masked suspects described as heavier set males fled on foot and possibly in this 2008 silver toyota camry. in the earliest days after the homicide, protesters demanded justice saying the killing was politically motivated and
1:37 am
chillichill ing threatry abuse for his a activism. canadian officials are speaking loud and clear. >> allegations that representative of a foreign go government may have been involved in the killing of canadian citizen on canadian soil is not only troubling but it is completely unacceptable. if proven true, this would be a graf grave violation of our sovereignty and basic rule of how countries deal with each other. >> reporter: and that was followed by swift action. canada expelled one of india's top diplomats in the country. in a statement the indian government responded saying the allegations are unsubstantiated and accused canada of sheltering
1:38 am
terrorists. justin trudeau raised the issue with both president biden and rishi sunak. and killing and its fallout is now a potential political powder keg in india and canada, home to one of the largest indian dias practice anywhere in the world. sikh independence has long been a dangerous fault line. now deadly consequences. paula newton, cnn. next, what happens with the wagner militia in africa. we'll see how prigozhin's death is changing the way that his fighters operate.

almost a mon after wag chief yevgeny prigozhin died in a plancrash, russia is moving to consolida wagner operations. clarissa ward traveled to the central african republic, one of wagner's first operational sites on the continent, to see how wagner's work and russia's influence might be changing. >> reporter: in the central african republic, the message from wagner is clear, it is business as usual. less than one month after their boss prigozhin owing wwas kille plane crash, they still guard the president and are intimidating figures on the streets. faces covered as wagner protocol dictate, they are unapp unapproachable. these are the first images of wagner fighters in the country

1:47 am
the country doesn't stop to exist. >> reporter: and we see a wagner fighter as we step outside. you can just make him out retreating to the back of the center where according to the investigating group, wagner sells its gold and diamonds to vips and manages its timber an alcohol operations. like most of wagner's activities here, it is clear there is still so much that is hidden from view. we pushed the visit far enough. it is time to go. no matter who takes over here,
