♪ we just heard stark words from ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy at the united nations, hoping to rally support for his country, in the face of vladimir putin's brutal invasion. he warned former leaders that today is ukraine, but tomorrow, it could be you. as russia pushes toward what he called the final war. >> please, hear me, leave you to decide, everything openly, while russia is pushing the world to the final war, ukraine is doing everything to ensure that after russian aggression, no one in the world will dare to attack any nation. weaponization must be restrained. war crimes must be punished.
12:02 pm
deported people must come back whole. and the occupier must return to their own land. we umust be united to make it ad we'll do it. >> so president biden addressing the general assembly before that, this morning. and there were many similar things. he wasun underscoring some of t same things we heard from the zelenskyy, the two leaders saying the ukraine fate is going to determine all of our fates. we have jim sciutto there at the u.n. following every bit of this. jim. >> no question, you'll hear a lot of empty phrases sometimes at the podium at the u.n., policy proposals, cliches. this is not that. it was a powerful message. it was a scary message, impassioned one and one that comes at a perilous time, not just for ukraine, still more than a year and a half into the bloodiest war since world war ii but also president biden and
12:03 pm
others argue for democracy around the world. under attack, being stress-tested in effect, not just overseas but here in the u.s. with he here is international chief christiane amanpour, and also joining me international ambassador to nato kurt volker. christiane, to you first, you and i were speaking about this, this was a moving speech. it was an impassioned speech that can only be delivered by a leader of a country such as him. whose country is going through a horrible war. he accuses russia of genocide, he accuses russia of weaponizing food and nuclear power. does his message? >> i think it does. with zelenskyy, he has to refine and really focus his message knowing it's going on for a long time. and it's very hard to keep an alliance together. you know, president biden, president zelenskyy are the
12:04 pm
wartime alliance leaders fighting down autocracy, and fighting for democracy and the rules of national order. that's the big picture, a slightly smaller picture but nonetheless equally as important as zelenskyy has to keep going to washington, keep persuading capitol hill to keep up this support. it is really, really important. and the way he put it was incredibly, i think powerful and accessible. people can understand what he's saying. and as you said, this is the bloodiest war potentially, although it's not the first war. i covered the bosnia war. it's the same playbook, serbian aggression against a nation that works independence and its own identity. the serbs tried to stop it. the reason why it's important, this building was incapable of ending that war. and so far, it's proved unable to be able to convene any kind of end to this current war. mostly because, guess what, the
12:05 pm
whole security council is fractured. biden was there, the only world leader of the permanent five, no putin, no xi, no macron and no s sunak, what does that say? >> it means in effect the u.n. cannot and has not acted decisively. >> that's right. >> in the face of this war. using some of the same tactics you witnessed in 1990s in yugo yugoslavia, kurt volker, you understood this well, with your service through the years. has the u.n. handled this? part of biden's case was making a case for international organizations such as it's u.n., that they still have a place today, not just to end the war there but for climate change and other challenges. food security for the global south. he was making an impassioned plea there, but in large part because those organizations and
12:06 pm
agreements are under threat. >> well, that's exactly right. and i think president biden is absolutely right that these multinational institutions are important on a range of very functional and technical issues. but when it comes to international peace and security, we have a fundamentally broken structure. we have a russia and a china sit on the u.n. security council who are themselves the sources of aggression in the world today. and as long as that remains the case, we're not going to have a functional u.n. security council. i think in this case, we're going to have to see change in russia. we've seen russia launch a war of aggression. we've seen them commit what appears to be genocide. we've seen them, certainly, commit war crimes in their actions in ukraine. and this is not the actions of a country that belongs in the u.n. security council. and as president zelenskyy said in his comments yesterday to the media, this is a problem not just for ukraine, this is a problem for the world. how can we have the united
12:07 pm
nations that has a country like russia still there with a the city in the u.n. security council and veto even. >> it's cnn reporting, as you know, christiane, that russia is waiting out the upcoming u.s. presidential election in 2024. and there's no perception that russia will sit down at a negotiating table prior to that sore even after. but certainly not prior to that because holding out hope, good news for a more fungible and malleable leader in the white house. when you speak to your european officials, what are the nervousness about the change? >> i would say the nervousness is on at off-the-charts scale. they cannot even contemplate another four years of what they went through four years ago. and this is really dramatic, particularly with the issues not just a war in europe, who knows where president trump would come down on it, we kind of know, but
12:08 pm
also climate and equality, all of that, as ambassavolker has s putin is responsible for the kidnapping of children, that is a genocidal thought and it's a genocidal goal. and it's something that the ukrainians take very seriously. they absolutely want their children back. they want accountability. to the idea that the end space, no leader in the world will tell you now that there's any real space because putin hasn't shown the slightest bit of willing to sit down. obviously, ukraine has their red lines. i talked to the secretary-general of nato who is obviously in charge of keeping this alliance together, and the idea that putin waiting it out. he said he thought putin could wait out the west and chip away at the eu resolve and the g7 resolve, and he hasn't managed
12:09 pm
to do that. and just keep up the support for ukraine. >> opposite has happened, it's bigger, not small, sweden and finland. and putin has already lost his strategic objectives there. >> yes. >> but at least, kurt volker, as you know the perception is believes he has staying hour. i want to leave on this issue, i spoke to the british foreign secretary, he said despite power offenses for ukraine, ukraine is still winning. i will say, though, when i speak privately to european officials, military commanders, they will say privately, they don't see how ukraine achieves all of its objectives in this war, kicking russian forces out of all occupied territory. do you see any genuine possibility of that? >> well, yes, i do. and i would remind viewers that whe what did our military leaders
12:10 pm
say back in february 2022. they said ukraine would fall in three days. the ukrainians wouldn't fight. the russian forces are strong. here we are over a year and a half later, ukrainians have taken. back more than half of what the russias have taken. i don't think we should be writing off the ukrainians on this. indeed, i think the overall picture, the big picture, when you take a step back, ukraine's arrived as a sovereign independent country. putin is driving forces over a cliff. these destroying their economy and he won't turn around. i think this is going to cause fundamental change in russia. we just don't know how or when, but it's not sustainable what they're doing. to your point, i remember, in the first hours of the war, the u.s. intelligence was that kyiv would fall within 72 hours. of course, it didn't. they've outlived expectations before. kurt volker, thank you so much. christiane, great to be with you today. boris and brianna, quite a day
12:11 pm
here. and quite a moment to hear those impassioned words of the ukrainian president before the united nations general assembly. >> stark words from president zelenskyy who is expected to meet with the president later in the week. we want to focus on an explosive rift that's developing between canada and india. canyon prime minister justin trudeau said india's government may have been involved of an activist, a canadian citizen on canadian soil. >> he's brought this up with indian officials, the prime minister directly. calling the claim absurd. both now sending senior diplomats between their two countries sending relations between the two plunging. minutes ago, trudeau said i'm not trying to provoke india, but i want answers. joining us managing editor for military time, kimberly dozier who is with us. what do you think about what's happening here? where is this headed? >> i am surprised that the
12:12 pm
canadian leader has tried to dial it back after making those allegations because you can't say that to the indian government and not expect a dramatic response. it's a matter of honor. it's a matter of reputation. but also, the indian government, under modi is rather thin-skinned when it comes to criticism. it has cracked down on and kicked out various outlets who publish critical things. this is going much farther than a critical article. this is an accusation that the indian government was behind killing a sikh activist pushing for a sikh nation within india. those are things you can say inside of india, but carefully, there are political parties pushing for that, but they're staying within the lines. indian activists outside the country go a lot further. and of course, the allegation is that this person was taken out because of it.
12:13 pm
>> timing of this is interesting because it's happening as the unga is under way. and it's not long after the g20 wrapped in india, at the time when modi is trying to sort of re-establish india's place in the world order. >> they must have a smoking gun. that's the only thing that you have to conclude. that come out with this. but for some reason, they didn't expect canada -- india's dramatic reaction. i think it's going to be hard to unwind this. and it also is going to have a knock-on effect. canada and india are in the middle of trade negotiations. were working on a treaty to sign. now, that's going to be on hold for some time to come. and canada is part of the group of western nations that needs india to offset china, at least economically. so the canadian prime minister has chosen an interesting time to go public with this. he must have meant it. but i don't know if they anticipated the blowback.
12:14 pm
>> he may need india, but he also needs cs canadians of indi dece descent. this is part of the bloc holding him up, almost 1.5 million people in canada. and canada has gone as far as to say they believe that indian intel is behind this. and to kick out, yes, a diplomat, who they think is a top spy in india, right? >> those are the allegations, and this is going to cause a chill for some time to come. like i said, you don't make these accusations unless you've really got the goods. i'd be interested because canada is in an intelligence relationship sharing with the u.s., the uk, australia and new zealand. they'll be able to see this intelligence, too. and that means that at some point, the white house is also going to have to respond. so far, they've said that
12:15 pm
they're concerned and they, too, want to get to the bottom of it, words to that effect. but this rift is going to run for a bit. >> we'll make sure to keep an eye on that story. kimberly dozier, thank you so much. and still to come, finally, on u.s. soil and free, the five americans released after being wrongly detained in iran for years landed in the u.s. this morning. so what is next for them? plus, our clarissa ward gains exclusive about tess to the wagner group following the death of its leader yevgeny prigozhin. we'll have that, just ahead. ♪ limu emu & doug ♪ what do we always say, son? liberty mutual customizes your car insurance... so you only pay for what you need. that's my boy. now you get out there, and you make us proud, huh?

12:20 pm
in iranian funds strictly for humanitarian use. one of these released americans emad shargi was in near disbelief reuniting with his family. >> how was the flight? >> i just can't believe this. too long. 5 1/2 years. >> let's bring in cnn's jennifer hansler who have been follows these families and their struggles for years. jennifer, obviously, this means a great deal not only to these prisoners but their loved one? >> yeah, boris, this was an extraordinary moment when we saw the families reunited. for the first time in years, siamak namazi and morad tahbaz and emad shargi are the three
12:21 pm
that we know. siamak had been there since 2015. and they've been powerful advocates. they met with members of congress, they had rallies in front of the white house, they pushed to meet with president biden. all of these efforts was to push the administration do whatever it takes to bring their loved ones home. that's ultimately what we saw play out with this deal between the u.s. and iran. one of the officials most involved is roger gerson. he was there in doha, he through with them overnight, back to the united states, and he was there for that emotional reunion early this morning. this is what he told cnn about that moment. >> i can say i probably haven't cried this much since i was a little kid. there's a chance to watch five different people, seven people in total, interact in a way that was very amazing.
12:22 pm
this is the first time they've had a chance to talk without being surveilled by the iranian government in years. to watch them relax, lighten up, share laughs. >> yeah, so roger said this was a really powerful moment, he encouraged all of the five returned detainees to take place in the post activities to reacclimate to their normal life. he was confident that these families were going to push for the release of other americans detained abroad. boris. >> jennifer hansler, thank you. with russia in the spotlight at the u.n., we have exclusive new reporting to consolidate wagner operations around the world. it's been almost a month since yevgeny prigozhin the head of the wagner group died in a mysterious plane crash. cnn's clarissa ward traveled to the central africa one of the

12:28 pm
>> reporter: in the central african republic, the message from wagner is clear, it's business as usual. less than one month after their boss yevgeny prigozhin was killed in a plane crash, mass mercenaries still guard the president and an intimidating figure in the streets at the capital. as wagner dictates, they're unpre unapproachable and untouchable. these are the first figures since prigozhin's death. very much a presence here in bangui. that presence runs deep. the markets are full of keep sashays of vodka and beer made by a wagner-owned company and the locals seem to like it. they say they don't drink french beer. only russian beer. we've come back to the center of
12:29 pm
prigozhin's empire in africa, right as his death raises questions for the regimes he protected and the mercenaries whose loyalty he inspired. our last visit was in wagner's early days here. run like the mafia, providing guns and fighters and propaganda in return for gold, diamonds and timber. using intimidation and brutality along the way. that car full of russians has been following us for quite some time. we don't know why. we don't know what they want. but in this lawless war-scarred country, one of the poorest in the world that ruthlessness and the security it brought is celebrated by many. >> welcome to -- >> reporter: wow, that is quite the t-shirt. >> yes, beautiful t-shirt. >> reporter: presidential adviser fidel says the nation is in mourning for wagner's dead
12:30 pm
leader. >> he was my friend. he was my friend. best of friend. a friend of all central african people. >> reporter: why exactly was mr. prigozhin so popular here in your mind? >> because, our country was in war to mr. -- mr. putin, give us mr. prigozhin. >> reporter: so, aren't you nervous now that he's dead that things might change? >> mr. putin call our president. he told him that everything will be like yesterday. nothing will be changed. nothing. >> reporter: but according to a diplomatic source here hundreds of wagner fighters left the central african republic in july after prigozhin's failed mutiny. those who remain, including his top lieutenants, have agreed to work for the russian ministry of defense. fighters have already been
12:31 pm
pulled back from front line outposts to population centers. in an effort to cut costs, the source says. what's less clear is what becomes of wagner's civilian presence here. this is one of the last places that prigozhin was seen alive, during his final tour across africa. it's called the russian cultural center, only it has no connection to russia's official cultural agency. and was run in recently by prigozhin's closest associate here. photographs taken on that visit show a new face. a woman known as nafisa kirynova. after days of asking for permission, we decided to film covertly. so you were here with yevgeny prigozhin here in the photographs. there's the photographs of you and prigozhin together. >> yeah, yeah.
12:32 pm
>> i thinks just over in that corner? >> yeah. >> there you go. >> okay. that's good. this is mr. prigozhin, yeah? >> yeah. >> how was he? >> very well. >> reporter: do you think he knew they were going to kill him? >> oh, my goodness. >> reporter: what does it mean for your work here? does it change anything? >> does it change anything? it doesn't mean that the country stops. >> reporter: she shows us one of their daily russian classes as we step back outside, we see a wagner fighter. hi. you can just make him out retreating to the back of the center where according to the investigative group the sentry,
12:33 pm
wagner sells its gold and diamonds to vips and manages its operations. who is that? a person? can we see what's there? that's weird. >> actually -- what are you going to see there? >> reporter: like most of wagner's activities here, it's clear there is still so much that is hidden from view. we pushed the visit far enough. it's time to go. ♪ no matter who takes over here, western diplomats say they don't expect much to change at the local orthodox church, the greek lettering has been painted over. it's allegiance now is to the russian patriarchky. even in the skies over the empire prigozhin built, russia's dominance lives on, clarissa
12:34 pm
w ward, cnn, bangui. >> today, cnn has learned about claims that raises doubts about interference in the hunter biden probe. that comes from irs whistle-blower gary shapley, but some irs officials are painting a different picture. let's bring in cnn's kara spinel. kara what exactly did they say that refutes what happened on capitol hill? >> gary shapley, the irs whistle-blower testified before lawmakers saying that u.s. attorney david weiss who oversees the hunter biden investigation said in october 2022 meeting among law enforcement officials that he didn't have the decisionmaking authority over whether to bring a case and that he as asked for and was denied special counsel status. now we're learning through transcripts of interviews that my colleagues annie grayer and jeremy read through that three top officials including the head of the fbi office overseeing this investigation, his deputy
12:35 pm
and gary shapley's former supervisor all provided testimony that is casting doubt on that. they're saying specific to shapely saying that he didn't have decisionmaking authority. saying if my recollection if he would have said that i would have remembered. shapely's lawyers have said unlike those officials, shapely has taken notes during the meeting he's provided the handwritten notes and he memorialized the meeting in an email to his supervisor so is standing by his recollection of the meeting. now, these officials don't dispute everything that shapely said. they said also recall, that david weiss said he couldn't get other u.s. attorneys in either washington, d.c. or los angeles to team up with him on this investigation. one of those officials said he didn't take that to mean that this investigation wasn't going to go anywhere. but, of course, this is still a hot issue for the committees. there's going to be more testimony in the near future,
12:36 pm
boris. >> kara spinel, thank you so much. the oversight committee plans to hold its first hearing in the biden impeachment hearing wednesday. witnesses still being finalized but chairman james comer tells cnn he's looking to bring in financial experts to discuss bank records and why the inquiry is warranted. cnn's melanie zanona is live on capitol hill. obviously, this is something that creates a lot of interest on the right and a lot of dismay on the left. >> reporter: yeah, brianna, this is going to be the first public-facing step that house republicans take since they launched their impeachment inquiry one week ago. we know that the hearing is held by the house oversight committee on september 28th. and we also know it's supposed to focus on allegations of corruption and abuse of public office. that is how they're framing it. as you mentioned, the witness list is not yet finalized but
12:37 pm
chairman james comer said he wants to bring in two different with thes, one, a finance expert to speak to the bank records pertaining to the biden family business deals that's been a big focus so far. and, two, they want to bring in a constitutionalert to try to make the case why they think impeachment inquiry is warranted. one aimed at the public but perhaps their own members as well who still do not support the impeachment inquiry going forward. the committee is taking steps to influence subpoenas in the first of this week and they want to get bank records of hunter biden and james biden which would be the first outreach by members of the biden family. but republicans have yesterday to link president joe biden himself direct will to any of his son's foreign business deals. and the white house sees this as nothing more than a distraction than all of the other chaos that's happening in the house republican caucus right now.
12:38 pm
brianna, i should mention just minutes ago they failed to advance a defense bill, because a number of hard-liners were in opposition to that funding bill. i want to read you the statement from ian samms, a spokesperson for the white house he said staging a political stunt hearing in the waning days before they may shut down the government reveals their true priorities, to them, baseless personal taxi on president biden are more important than preventing a government shutdown and the pain it would inflicts on american families. no doubt, congress is barreling towards a government shutdown that kevin mccarthy has warned would slow down if not halt all of their investigations and inquiry. as of right now, brianna, it's full steam ahead. >> live for us on capitol hill, thank you. boris. still to come on "cnn news central," the white house changing plans, no longer sending a team to detroit as negotiations between the big three automakers and striking union members show little progress. the latest, straight ahead.
