8:00 am
back on the u.s. soil and finally free. the motional homecoming for five americans wrongfully detained for years by iran. the moment they see their families for the first time. former president trump once again skipping republican primary debate and the second time trying to do some counter program, and it did not work the first time but will the new plan work this time? >> moments ago, president biden addressed the united nations general assembly behind me, and a strong message for russia trying to gather support for the efforts to defend ukraine. i'm john berman at the united
8:01 am
nations with sara sidner and kate bolduan, and this is cnn "news central." just moments ago, president biden finished the address to the 78th gather of the members of the general assembly, and the president said that we are at an inflection point for the united nations and integrity and sovereignty and human rights are at risk because a permanent member of the united nations security council has invaded ukraine, and president biden said that russia alone is responsible for the invasion there, and russia, alone, they
8:02 am
responsible for the aggression, and the world must get together and act accordingly, and not just the world, but domestically as well. and the president is very much in the midst of a domestic campaign, and implications both here and abroad. cnn senior white house correspondent kayla tausche, and very important speech, and a speech that the white house worked on and i wanted to start with the sound from the president talking about russia. let's listen. >> russia beliefs that the world will grow weary and allow it to brutalize ukraine without consequence, but i ask you this, if we abandon the core principles of the united states to appease an aggressor, then any member in this body, do you feel confident that you are protected? that is why the united states together with the allies
8:03 am
partners around the world feel that we will stand together with their territorial integrity and their freedom. >> with ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy in the audience ash and you see it there, kayla, the president making case, if it can happen to ukraine, it can happen to you. >> and president biden is trying to strike a very delicate balancing act to not only highlight the continued importance of ukraine and the corollary that ukraine could represent for many nations in the world, and the need to marshall resources to help ukraine to depfend itself, but the fact that many countries in the world, including south have grown weary of the war that it has taken off of their issues like climate and food security and sovereign debt relief with the interest rates going up in the last years, the country is
8:04 am
yet to pay the debt they have borrowed from other wealthier nations. and president biden talking about those nation, and aed to the their concern, that we hear you and we care about your concerns and what they are, and we are focused on continuing to invest in those priorities, but it is the fact that he spent the last, call it eight minutes or so to talk about ukraine and the risk of the world order if the russian aggression in ukraine is continued to go unchecked. the president wanted the audience to take away a lasting impression of importance there. zelenskyy is giving his own address today, and you can expect another impassioned plea to the general assembly, and specifically to the security council where there are questions of whether president biden and zelenskyy would have a meeting of the security council, but none of the other permanent members are in attendance which is really presenting a problem here when they are trying to
8:05 am
generate support, but the administration says it is still important, and essential forum, and that the president was coming here to show that he cares, and showing up is half if not more of the battle. >> showing up is more than half of the battle when four of five of the permanent security council are not even here. you have a great point, because for 20 minutes he talked about other thing, and that is something for the rest of the nations to listen to. that is a gift for them in a way. i hear your concerns, but then, he ends on ukraine for eight minutes saying that this is all of our concern. kayla, you have also brought up a great point this morning, and yes, a speech to the world, but it is also going to align with his domestic priorities and the re-election campaign and something that he has been saying on the campaign trail. >> two things that stood out to me on that front, and the way he is essentially nodding at the domestic politic, and the
8:06 am
overtures on democracy, and we know that democratic values would figure in this speech, and administration officials have suggested that they would, and especially because there has been this bigger theme of democracy versus authoritarianism for the duration of biden's presidency, but it is coming on the heels last night where president biden was speaking to donors in new york city, and he made the point for first time in several months that it is president trump here in the united states that presents a threat to democracy, and in 2024, democracy is again on the ballot, and the reporters who were in the room suggested that it is biden road testing a new message and trying to sharpen the message as he is preparing to go out and deliver stump speeches and rally the voter support in the next few monthssh and trying to take direct aim at the former president on that front even as he is largely here in nosew yor to address the world stage. >> when you are taking that
8:07 am
campaign to what is behind us today, you will see the consistent message and common threads. kayla tausche, thank you so much for being here. i want to bring in jill dougherty, a cnn contributor, and jill, thank you for being with us. what did you hear from president biden in this speech and as we kept on looking at the ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy in the hall listening, what are you thinking that he heard, and was it enough for him? >> well, i think that what biden was doing in addition to the very strong statements like naked aggression by russia, et cetera, i think that what biden was doing is really trying to make the pitch to the developing country, and he talked about them in the beginning of the speech expanding the security council, and these are countries that arguably have been left out, and that is what he said. so, he is making quote that says
8:08 am
if we allow ukraine to be carved up, is any nation safe, and this is a compelling point that not successful and one of the reasons that it is not successful is because vladimir putin right now is positioning russia as the friend of the developing world. this is a huge narrative that russia is pounding right now in its relations with russia and with the africa and other countries, and so i think that biden is saying is, look, if it happened to ukraine, it can happen to you. and that is what is a powerful way of broadening support for ukraine at the united nations. >> jill, standby for a moment, because with me outside of the united nations, is john herbs, former ambassador the ukraine. thank you for being with us. >> thank you. >> sovereignty, integrity and
8:09 am
human rights, and president biden kept leaning into those tenets saying that those are the tenets that russia is violating, and why is that important for this audience to hear? >> because the entire world depends upon the invie olatabily of those principles. and the people of the south and the congo need to understand that. he is making the pitch for the international order which is underscoring relative stability and prosperity over the past 70 yea years. in 1950, 70% of the world was in poverty, and now with this leadership, 10% of the world is in poverty, and they have to understand that and the benefits they enjoy. >> jill, how convincing is any of the messages if some of the
8:10 am
key leaders in the key nations didn't bother to show up. the prime minister of britain, the lprime minister of japan an the chinese foreign minister and the french prime minister. >> yes, and it is true. and as the ambassador is indicating that many of the institutions that came about after the end of world war ii are being perceived as not being effective and not getting an answer to countries that want to get into the door. they want power to india and brazil, and they all want more power than they have, and influence, and that is right. so biden is talking to that. but what we have right now is a lack of faith in the international institutions, and
8:11 am
most of which were started by the united states after world war ii. so biden has to really repair the belief, and bring back the belief and include more people in the institutions so that ti can do something. the problem is that, you know, russia is there as a permanent member of the security council, and he can stop almost anything that goes against its wishes. >> ambassador, one of the striking things here in the atmospherics is that president biden was behind the lectern talking about ukraine when president zelenskyy was in the audience listening to him, and we will hear from president zelenskyy for the first time s since he has entered hall, and how do you believe his message will align with president biden's, and will there be differences? >> of what president biden laid
8:12 am
out, zelenskyy could ont applaud. and talking about the differences of how strong the united states should be to defeat moscow's aggression in ukraine, but on the broad principles they align completely. >> and how much support does zelenskyy get with the unwavering support, and some republicans are having a discussion to shutting down the government because of the support of ukraine. >> well, there a small isolationists in the republican party who have no idea of how important this is. and there is a small faction, who is not as vocal as they were a few months ago. if they knew, he would rally more support at home, including republicans. the statement he made today to the audience is international order, but what the american need to hear, and if putin is winning in ukraine, he is coming
8:13 am
for the american allies, and we will have to spend more money to support our allies. and it is now that we need to support ukraine. >> and later today, volodymyr zelenskyy is going to be speaking this afternoon at the u.n. kate? >> thank you, john. coming up for us is also this, donald trump is skipping second presidential primary debate in california. ahead, what the republican frontrunner is planning to do instead. plus the reunion years in the making, and what happens when five american ps finally touchdown once again on u.s. soil after fighting for years to be released from iran. and the u.s. marine corps is ordering a full pause on flight operations right now after a third jet crashes in the span of weeks. we will be back. >> tech: cracked windshield on your new car? bring it to safelite. my customer was enjoying her new car,

8:19 am
the first time he did it, he went on twitter and did an interview, and that did not go as well as he would have hoped, because a lot of people were watching that debate, and what about next time? >> no doubt, sara, a lot of people will be watching this second one as well. but we know that the former president is eyeing a primetime speech to the audience of former and current union workers, and this is on brand for trump who relishes counter programming, an injecting himself into every conversation. he is speaking to the audience of working class voters in a pivotal swing state. he is seeing the opening here with the divisions on the left with the impact of the transitioning to electric vehicles and what is it going to be meaning to the union jobs, but the democrats are seizing on this. noting that the trump administration signed executive orders making it easier to fire federal employees and weaken the ability to organize. but it is going to pose a challenge for president biden who very much characterizes
8:20 am
himself as a pro union president and he is now in a position of leadership to do a delicate dance to express views on the organizers on strike. he lost the bid from the union to biden. and we know that on the stage is vivek ramaswamy, tim scott, nikki haley will be there. >> thank you, eva mckend. and now, a federal judge considering the request to move a case from state court to federal court would make a decision as quickly as he could, and this is after attorneys for jeffrey clark were in the courtroom saying that everything
8:21 am
that he did to cast doubt on the 2020 election results had to do everything with his official job within the doj and not president trump, but the judge was skeptical of the argument, and that same judge has denied a similar request from mark meadows, the former chief of staff for donald trump. and he is one of five who have requested to have their cases moved to federal court. joining us for this is manhattan district judge, and this is one of the attorneys who asked clark's attorney issadow who sa,
8:22 am
this is not good, and so, what happens to clark impact donald trump? >> there is another finger pointing directly at the president. we heard from schaffer who said he wants removal, because i am listening to government and the president and his people of what to do and this is why i responded as i did, and now another person jeffrey clark who said, i spoke to the president show there is no affirmation of that, and i spoke to the president, and i am following president's orders and this is lane i had to be, from jody hunt said, no, it is not the lane, because this is not something that we would have done in this capacity within the department of justy, and so it is another finger pointing at the president and pointing to another denial for removal. >> and so putting aside this request for removal, and you think that any evidence showing up or presented in court will stack up against donald trump when it is coming to the overall
8:23 am
question against him? >> yeah. we are setting aside also, the former president said in a recent interview of his involvement of what he did is a separate issue, and again, people are saying about the defense, and cooperating or flipping is a different story, but they are saying, hey, i am acting as i did, and perceived and very may well be if proven beyond a reasonable doubt to be subverting an election, but i did it because of that man, and this is problematic for the president, and it is someone cooperating and maybe jeffrey clark, but it is problematic for the former president. >> and there is a case out in colorado they wanted to ask you, that a judge wants to decide by thanksgiving of a watchdog group that says that 14th amendment and parts of it that insurrections cannot appear on a ballot in colorado, and do you see it happening?
8:24 am
>> it is interesting question of engaged or inciting a insurrection, and what is interesting is that you don't have to have a taking up arms like in the civil war of jefferson davis, but he was up there on to platform to call for people to take back the country, and calling for statements of the proud boys to standby, and so he was taking actions that don't require him to call him to break a window or enter the capitol directly, but it is a real question, and whether it survives or pass muster is a number of people from the particular states are saying let the courts decide and it may very welland it has to go quick or it won't be decided before the election. >> nice to see you, jeremy. thank you. interesting case.
8:25 am
sara? beautiful moment. five americans wrongfully detained in iran and arriving in america, and you will see the heartwarming homecoming. >> and cnn has a moment in court where evan gershkovich appeals his conviction. we will have all of that coming up. ensure, complete balanced nutrition with 27 vitamins and minerals. and ensusure complete with 30 grams ofof protein. ♪ ♪ subway refreshed everything. and now, they're slicing their deli meats fresh. that's why the new subway series subs are proffered by this qb. and proffered by his old backup qb. and if we proffer it, we know you'll proffer it too. have you been behind me this whole time? yep.

the first real brets of fref -- breaths of freedom, and the first hugs from family. and you are looking at the video that came in early this morning free after wrongfully detained in iran for years. siamak namazi, emad sharghi and mo mo morad tahbaz and two others who did not want to be identified arriving. >> and it is the first time to see them lighten up and share
8:31 am
laughs, and it is remarkable. >> and namazi had been wrongfully detained for eight years. and we have more from nic robertson. and nic, the images are beautiful seeing the moments and something that these, some of the families have not really believe was going to ever happen, but what is next? >> yeah, it is amazely heartwarming, isn't it? you cannot but let yourself feel the emotion there, and empathize with them, and understand what they have been through, but of course, we can't understand what they have been through, because we have not been through it, and this is part of the ordeal coming, and first off, looking they will get the medical checks which may take a couple of days, and they will get the medical treatment, and have their families around them, and sort of breathe deeper, and rest easier, but those sleeps in the months ahead at night are not going to be easy, and ki say
8:32 am
this, because we have spoken with nasser dean who has spoken to us about at night unpacking all of the terror and the uncertainty that they have be coming from that evin prison, and of course, they will have help with that, and professional help and family help, but it is a burden on them, and they will have to deal with it. the deal itself is up and running. the justice department has oversight of the money, the accounts that the iranians will have access to, and the treasury department, rather, and only access to the money for humanitarian goods. that is up and running. that is going to be overwatched and overseen. but for these five now, it is time for a quieter life and away from the spotlight now, and to try to recover, and the reality is that it is not going to be
8:33 am
easy. they will have help, and tough days to come. >> that really interesting and important perspective, and good to see, nic. a beautiful moment, long aw awaited, but a long road ahead. >> yes, and other americans that we know of that are stuck abroad for reasons that have nothing to do with them but they are americans which is happening in russians, and this morning a setback for "wall street journal" journalist evan gershkovich. we had our cnn journalist there matthew chance, and he was eventually kicked out by the court. >> come here. >> all right. all right.
8:34 am
[ speaking non-english language ] >> okay. we have been let into the courthouse where you can see evan gershkovich is in there. matthew chance, cnn. how are you, matthew. are you holding up okay, matt? okay. looking at him, and security is tight. what is the problem? what the problem? [ speaking non-english language ] >> okay. what do you want us to do? matt, matt, it is okay. it is okay. what do you want us to do? okay. do you want us to go out?
8:35 am
do you want us to go out? what happened? you can see matthew and the photographer getting a shot at least to show that matthew gershkovich is standing there in the awful little cell as the court is making the determination, and gershkovich has been there in prison with the trumped up charges that he and "the wall street journal" have denied. the charges are baseless, and gershkovich is arrested for simply being a journalist and doing his job in russia. kate? >> the marine corps is ordering a pause in flight operations after a third jet crashes in recent weeks, and the most recent incident happened, and a f-35 jet is declared missing, and the pilot is dejected and the debris field could not be located and cnn's oren
8:36 am
liebermann is tracking us from the pentagon, and what is the purpose of the pause now? >> kate, it is worth noting that it took 24 hours or so to find the debris field from the crash of the f-35-b that crashed sunday afternoon. this is the third class-a mishap as it is called in the marine corps, and major incident or crash in recent weeks, so the acting commandant of the marine corps ordered this two-day pause of operations and not only for the f-35, the type of aircraft that crashed sunday and this is including ospreys and f-18, and just to review the safety procedures and the normal operating procedures and the policy procedures that go into flying aircraft to make sure that it is done safely and to make sure that the operating aircraft are done after the two-day pause are done safely as possible, and element of risk in any aviation, and part of the
8:37 am
two-day pause in flights is to minimize the risk as much as possible especially as the crashes have shown a spotlight on how dangerous this can be, kate. >> it is a great point. thank you so much, oren. sara? >> straight ahead, youtube says it is blocking comedian russell brand from making money off of its platform after allegations of sexual assault. they are not the only media platform blocking brant. and now n this morning of the champions for change, using music for healing. that is next.

more fallout for russell brand in the wake of the sexual assault and rape from russell brand. youtube is blocking him from making money on their platform, and also royal windsor is postponing all of his live performances and the bbc has removed some live content featuring russell brand. the london police have launch and investigation into the allegations monday after several british outlets published an expose on him. he has denied all of the allegations against him which are numerous. and now chief correspondent for "actors on actors" and we will talk about russell brand and the wga strike, and he is now a conspiracy theorist at times, and he is being accused by several women of rape or sexual assault. are you hearing anything from the actors or others from the
8:43 am
business that he has worked with? >> you know, some past interviews have resurfaced, but no new comments that have come outment kristen bell who co-starred with him in a very popular movie years ago, and there are comments resurfacing where at the time it seemed that she was joking and making these comments in jest, but she did say that she essentially had to put him on notice to say, don't touch me on set. there's also some comments from katy perry who they were married for 14 months, and now her comments are being looked at again, so, no new comments, but a lot of the fallout as you have mentioned, and the most recent youtube saying that they are stopping all monetization on russell brand's content, because he has gone against their rules for creators on the platform. >> and there have been some comments resurfacing of russell
8:44 am
brand joking about raping and then killing a woman. a lot of stuff has come out from this reporting, and also, there has been a swift response from a bunch of people to stop him from making money on the platforms and in performances. what are you seeing here going forward for him as he is denying allegations, and his fans are online supporting him, but what do you make of both his response and of the response of all of the different groups that have now basically cut him off? >> of course, everyone is innocent until proven guilty, and as you said, russell brand strongly denies all of the allegations. he says that every interaction with every woman in his life was consensual, but what i am making is that there were numerous news outlets that reported on the allegations, and they said that the investigation was ongoing for a year. this isn't just one allegation
8:45 am
from one woman that is popping up on the social media, and for this to have been published and broadcast by numerous outlets, and that means that numerous newsrooms were going through the vetting process, and as a reporter myself who has covered many allegations through the me too movement, i know how rigorous the allegations have to be and it is not necessarily true, but it is saying that the allegations the day they went out, he went on stage before the comedy tour was postponed, and now it is a full house, and allegedly fans who were there supporting him, and as you said, sara, the fans were there to support him, and the response was not take zone well to go on stage that night. >> and we will have you back to talk about the ongoing w.a.g.

8:51 am
the world. >> this morning amara walker takes us to minnesota where the amazing grace chorus is helping lift voices and spirits of people battling dementia. >> i love this know foe of our family together, but this was my brother's wedding in brazil. i would say this is the last time we had a true family trip where my mom was somewhat put together. >> my mother has alzheimer's. she was diagnosed about two years ago officially, but my mother's name is young. she's 76 years old. my mother was my best friend. mom had three pillars in her life. the first was family, second was god, she was an ordained minister, and third was music. she was a self-taught pianist. she took guitar lessons, she had a beautiful voice. music has been medicine for my
8:52 am
mother. it's been therapeutic. >> there's power in music. >> the amazing grace chorus is a gathering, a choir filled with love, joy, peace, specifically pointed to make navigating loss and isolation a better journey. >> i think shaw na is a champion for change because she is finding uncob vengsal ways to treat dementia patients. and i so appreciate that she's telling us don't sole ly rely o medications. let's use music as well. to lift up alzheimer's patients, but to also lift up those caregivers who have been sacrificing day in and day out.
8:53 am
my father has been taking care of his wife for nearly 50 years. >> that was one of georgia's favorite songs. and he was 90 years old. when i come to the choir, feel i'm going to be with george. a transformation of folks as if their body colts back responsive. one example i think of is one of our new who sing quiet prior to music starting. when the music starts, something happens. and it's witnessed by everyone. >> what would you say to loved
8:54 am
ones who are on the verge of giving up? >> they are still there. they are still there. sing to them. >> music can really affect the brain in ways that are medicinal. and maybe that association with those positive memories, it maybe that it's sparking the parts of the brain that release these chemicals that are counter to the symptoms of education and aggression. if it works, we should use it. >> that has been the most healing part of this journey is sitting my mom down on the piano. it helped many remember my mom's tenderness, it helped me see a piece of my mom who loved music and leaned on music during her challenging times. what a challenging time she's going through right now with alzheimer's. so to be able to see my mother,
8:55 am
even if it's just 60 seconds lately, it's been so soothing for me because at least i can see that she is still there. >> it has been quite a journey for my family because we're still on it. i want to point out during that interview, shaw na made the case that it's so important that music should be a part of the prescription for every patient with dementia. i can tell you, it can get very difficult to manage a person who has behavioral issues, outbursts, aggression because of this brain disease. i'm speaking from personal experience, seeing some facilities and doctors who will medicate the patient because, frankly, it's the easiest way to help control some of these very difficult behaviors. but until we can find a cure, i do the to encourage all of those in the hng industry dealing with dementia patients, please
