violet earth with liev schreiber premieres june 2, had nine on cnn you're in the cnn newsroom and i'm jessica dean in washington. >> we are falling breaking news at frantic search can rescue

operation is underway in northern iran. after a helicopter crash >> involving iranian president ebrahim raisi. the aircraft went down early this morning after the president and other officials attended a ceremony for the opening of a new near the border with azure by john. >> at this time, raisi's condition is unknown and rescuers are having difficulty reaching the crash shite because of the heavy fog and the bad weather russia, a close ally to iran, has announced it will send to advanced aircrafts and 50 additional mountain rescuers to help with those search efforts. that's according to iranian state news, seen as nic robertson, ies tracking the story closely, he is joining us now with the latest nick. it seems like we're entering about our 13 now. since this chopper went down, what more do you know? >> yeah. and a couple of hours since we had conflicting information from the islamic revolutionary guard corps in east azerbaijan province there in the very northwest of iran. they said that they received a

signal and perhaps a signal, something from a cell phone the location of the site. they said they had located the site. therefore, but the the iranian red crescent equivalent of the red cross said no, they just do not know where that sayyed is. and i've just been watching online a turkish drone aircraft over flying the area where we understand they're missing trying to find information about whether crash sayyed is, but the country's leaders at the moment, the supreme leader, other leaders, telling iranians right now, just to pray for their president iran's government asked people to pray for that president so they did for hours, faith and the hopi survived are mountainous helicopter crash. all the country had to cling on to

hours earlier was a border government helicopter on the way to open a dam in iran's far northwest. it was a big deal on the border with azerbaijan. >> he met that country's president, but within hours, racist helicopter carrying him, iran's foreign minister and other top officials back from the dam had crashed in dense fog, according to iranian state news, a frantic search and rescue was launched ambulances rush to the area, medics and mountain climbers searching for direction in the dense fog of the east azerbaijan province mountains. >> the weather conditions in the rugged remote region too dangerous to use helicopters. the head of iran's armed forces ordered the mobilization of all facilities and equipment to assist in the search army, police even the elite islamic revolutionary guard. as the

search continued iran's supreme leader telling the country, the government has a situation under control. >> what was be assured that there will be no disruption in the country's affairs. the government authorities, since they have learned about the incident this afternoon, i've working hard and hopefully everything will be fine 63-year-old racy was elected president in 2021 are hard liner he has overseen a tightening of the country's already strict morality laws. >> before that, as former chief justice prosecutor general, and deputy chief justice, he oversaw many executions of activists regime opponents he also oversaw the bloody crackdown of anti-government protesters following the death of mahsa amini in 2022. hardline enough to be seen as a

possible successor to supreme leader ali khamenei. both he and the foreign minutes it's there had taken a tough line negotiating iran's nuclear program, as well as strong support for her mass in israel's war on gaza. just surviving in those mountains, right now, even if there was a lighter crash, which was an early indication, early reports apparently coming from the site, but so far not not panning out that indicated that the helicopter had crashed but hadn't gone down that hard, but just surviving. and these conditions right now we'll be very difficult. it's a sub-zero at the high altitudes there you're up to about 2000 meters on some of the high peaks at about 6,000 feet there's snow predicted in the precipitation overnight. so just surviving in evil if you've managed to, even if the president or others on board had managed mr. get out of the aircraft, had it come down

hard, is just going to be tough. if you look at the vegetation there, some places it's forest, some place there's not much vegetation. the mountain sides, a really steep, there are no sort of shelters on the mountain side there you have to really get way down much lower to get to where they're there farms and villages and any kind of shelter. >> yeah, really, really difficult conditions. nic robertson. thank you so much for that reporting. let's turn now to cnn pentagon correspondent oren lieberman, who's here in the studio with me coming back here to the us and how the administration is responding to this. what are you hearing? >> well, the us is watching this very closely. it's not just the white house and the national security council, but the state department and others as well still we haven't seen any public comment and that perhaps not really a surprise president joe biden was briefed on this in the first hours after it happened, according to the white house press secretary, but they haven't said any more than that. first, the us is still looking for more information to try to find out what happened. and it's in a remote area as nick pointed out, and the information is

likely to come from either iran or iranian state media. second, the us of course, wants to keep its distance here and not imply or show in any way that it was involved in this. so the us will keep its distance until it learns more. and so far we haven't seen it any public comment coming from the white house, the us, of course, well aware of what this could mean for a region that's already seen quite a lot of destabilising acts. for example, iranian proxies launching scores of attacks on us forces in iraq and syria. since the beginning of the gaza war. and even if that hasn't happened in a few months now, the us knows that's a lever for that iran can turn on and off pretty much at will the us also aware that iranian president ebrahim raisi, he doesn't have the power or influence that the supreme leader, ayatollah, khomeini, he has, but he is viewed as one of the potential successors here. and depending on what happens here, that may only leave one other option. and that the supreme leader is sun, the us, watching all of these dynamics, but crucially waiting at this

point for more information to find out what truly happened and are all the other assets that are flooding the zone, turkish, russian, other countries able to help in this situation. it is worth pointing out that as you noted, the nic were 13 hours into this it's difficult to imagine a situation where a senior us official would go missing and we wouldn't have answers very quickly or western official and yet here we are waiting for any kind of definitive information that doesn't contradict earlier info, right? >> so many questions still an hour, 13. all right. or in lieberman. thanks so much with us now, former defense secretary mark esper, who served during the trump administration. and one disclosure before we get started esper serves on the board or as a strategic advisor for a handful of aerospace and defense related companies. secretary esper, thanks again for being here tonight just off the top this is a wild story, is 13 hours later, we have no idea about the status of the president of iran. what do you make of this situation that is unfolding right now?

>> yeah good evening, jessica. i agree. it's surprising that there has been no communications in an aircraft that you would think would be loaded with communications gear for the president of iran. i know that's how we fly, how we operate in the us military. and certainly for the president of the united states. so there was an early report that it might have been in a hard landing. i'm surprised they with takeoff often that type of weather to begin with, but nonetheless, even a hard landing, you'd still have your communications gear. so there's a lot here that goes unanswered. and you got to pile on top of that the fact that this is a very opaque regime. so for all we know, they do know what happened and what the status is of president racy and the other passengers. but they're just not willing to reveal it yet. so we should know in the next 24 hours, that's for sure. >> you would expect to know something in the next 24 hours yeah, i think so. >> i think by tom, the sun comes up in the morning. you it's 2am their now it's the middle of the night. the weather picks up. it's bad. other it looks like there's still fog settled in air but i

think by the morning once they flood the zone, it's still pretty wide area, like 20 by 30 miles. they get the teams. i suspect that some point there'll be able to put aircraft back up and look for the wreckage or some type of signs of where they might be. >> and if we broaden it out, again underscoring, we don't know what we don't know here. we don't we haven't gotten a definitive the update on who's alive, who is not alive, what the wreckage may look like. but i do think so many people read this here. this are listening to us talk right now and wonder, well, what is this mean for the broader region, for the middle east right now that has already been such a tinderbox. what do you think yeah, i think that's the big issue here is what does it mean right? >> raisi's important because he became president of the country in 2021, consolidating power amongst all the branches of the government and an ally and favored by the supreme leader common a. so it's a very important player during his tenure, his lead violin crackdowns on the people, particularly young women,

women, and young girls. he also of course led the first direct strikes on israel with drones and ballistic missiles. it just acute occurred a few weeks ago. >> but at the same time, he's seen a very bad economy and there's a lot of unrest in the country. >> but even more importantly, jessica, is this. he is seen as the front motor to succeed common, who is now at five years old, has been in power for 35 plus years, has been reportedly in bad health for many, many years and people think that there may be a turnover of power here in a few years to a younger leader, younger cohort and raci was considered the guy, or at least the front runner unofficially. so to me that's the most important thing here is how does it shuffle the deck politically within the regime indeed, he has been killed. and what does that do to the power structure? i don't think it changes anything in the near term with regard to policies, the hardliners are still in charge. and of course in a country like iran hardliners, it's a matter of degree, right? there's moderates who are hardliners. there's really hard

liners and he's net second camp. but what does it mean for the succession plan for the regime? >> and so what what, how did they begin to, what are those sort of succession plans look like in terms of how long are they kind of put together, how much lead time do they normally have if you do indeed have to reshuffle the deck, is that highly disruptive? >> yeah. look, i think the first thing is to get the government back firmly in control again, assuming that he was killed, that it means the senior vice president, a banned by the man, by the name of a mock bar, would take control temporarily with the approval of the supreme leader. and within 50 days, it had to have a special election. and i think whoever gets picked two lead the country, then i would assume becomes a contender. of course, to be supreme leader one day. but as, but as wanted to reporters mentioned the other contender is common. a son and so that makes it very interesting, dynamic as well in terms of how the players, how it unfolds, and then of course on top of all that we know,

there's a war going on between iran and israel through its proxies in iraq and syria, and gaza, and southern lebanon. of course, race has been very instrumental in terms of improving relations with china. and even more so with russia and its war in ukraine. so some of these policies could change once you have new leadership in. but, but i would assume the hardliners remain in power and then the question is, how does the, how does the deck reshuffle with regard to the successors to the supreme leader? >> it's also been interesting to see obviously, iran does has state media. they're and guest after guest is said you know, don't don't trust them everything they're saying and we put that asterisk next to it, but they have been giving some information. what do you make of the information they've given out so far, what they are saying, what they're not saying? >> well, there have been mixed reports. it's been obviously covering the supreme leader, a reassuring everybody telling

telling the country that everything is under control, things will be in charge. again, i would think of something if the worst happen that this is going to be managed very tightly by the supreme leader. of course, you're gonna have any number of conspiracy she's coming out of this, that it was more than just the weather that helicopter maintenance issue that maybe the israelis were involved with the united states or something. maybe there's some internal finger-pointing in the power struggle, but who knows? but i think they're going to want to control the information dynamic. and use it to their best advantage as they make this transition. the power, again, assuming that the worst has happened for a raisi? >> yeah. and at this point, again, just to underscore everybody, we don't know what his status is. all we know is that this helicopter went down in this very remote part of or-awn. all right. secretary mark esper. thank you so much. >> thanks. jessica after weeks of testimony, the first criminal trial of a former president is nearing the end. >> what we expect this week and the trump's hush money trial

who, if anyone, will, the defense called the stand. let's talk about at all, but david, oscar, marcus, and norm eisen, david is a criminal defense attorney and norm is a cnn legal analysts. he also investigated trump as counsel to the house judiciary committee in the first beach meant trial of donald trump and litigate cases involving him previously, he's also the editor of the book trying trump, a guide to his first election interference, criminal trial. gentlemen, great to have you both here with us, david. we're here on sunday night. the jury has had all weekend to process cohen's 92nd call that the defense unraveled how problematic is that for the prosecution? how do they start to clean that up tomorrow morning it's hugely problematic for the prosecution. >> remember, these perry mason moments rarely happen in court, usually you're just attacking someone's general credibility. michael cohen has enough of that baggage, but now they've caught him in a lie on this specific case on one of the

most important calls. so the defense is going to try to make their closing all about michael cohen's lie here and they're going to try to paint him out that you cannot believe him if you if you don't believe them on this particular lie, you can't believe them on any of his other testimony. i think they have a lot to work with here norm, do you think this is a knockout punch of sorts? i don't jessica, i was in court on friday and the jury's reception of this information was very different. michael cohen was not refreshed by the prosecution with all the topics of that call he stood by his story. he indicated that his recollection was refreshing. i didn't see the jury reeling as i wrote in my cnn daily trial diary on friday, it was a punch, but it was knocked not a knockout blow. the prosecution is a head-on points. they remain ahead onboarding we'll see if there is more to come on

monday morning, but i don't think that this affects the mountain of corroborating evidence and supporting evidence, establishing the elements of the crime and the credibility of michael cohen david, at this point, there is no indication that the former president will be called as a witness if you were representing him, what how would you counsel him and what strategy would you go with? >> so when you're calling a defendant to the stand, it's a very it's the most important decision in the case. and typically the calculus is if your winning, you do not call him. and if you're losing you do. i would disagree with norm on a couple of things with what he said though. >> it's not the hit a knockout blow it's and it's not enough for the prosecution to be ahead on points. they have to issue the knockout blow. they have to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt. >> so if the defense can make inroads here, then they're

going to win norms been in the courtroom. >> he's seen the jury. i have not, but he's also been a great cheerleader for the prosecutor should normally got to take those prosecution glasses off and let the jury see it with clear eyes, not with everything through those prosecution tinted glasses david, would you put him on the stand though? i don't think so. not in this case. i mean, you know, look, i had mayor galan's case recently. we prepared him to testify. we were ready to call them, and we believe we were winning, so we didn't call them at the last minute. i think trump wants to testify. i don't think his lawyers are going to let them of course, it's the trump and not up to the lawyer. so he insists he will get up on that. stan norm, what's your sense being in the courtroom? >> i mean, i know you've been watching the former president two we've seen him kind of mutter things under his breath and the judge has asked his lawyers to ask him to stop what's your sense and would you put it on the stand?

>> i would not put him on the stand. and contrary to david, i think the defense team has done a terrific job. in fact dedicated one of my cnn trial diaries to singing their praises the problem is that to donald trump may incriminate himself many times over. i do believe that the prosecution has established beyond a reasonable doubt that donald trump, who after all, his signature is on many of the alleged leave falsified documents. >> there's no reasonable doubt that donald trump would have allowed massive payments of this kind to be made without his permission or that he sought to to make this hush money payment to influence the campaign. >> but putting donald trump on the stand, will only make the defense's situation work

worse. they do have something to work with now, jessica i expect we'll hear about that in the closings, but i don't think we're gonna get to see donald trump testified david. >> i'm curious at this point, if you think prosecutors have successfully reached the threshold of convincing the jurors that a felony was committed here you know, i think they have a lot of problems. jessica i would be nervous if i was the prosecutors remember they called michael cohen because they needed him to prove up their case beyond a reasonable doubt, and they can go into closing saying michael cohen has lied to his wife to congress, to prosecutors. now he's lied to you all and if you don't believe him on just one thing, then you can disregard everything they needed michael cohen or they wouldn't have called this witness. he's one of the worst witnesses ever, so they only call them because they needed them. so they have problems here and they waited until last, which was an odd decision to call him as their last

witness because now that's what is what the jury's left. >> normal. let you give us your thoughts. is our last thoughts here i believe that the jury credited michael cohen on his direct examination, and there's one good moment of another wise somewhat lackluster two days. >> cross by todd blanche is not enough to change that. juries convict every day in new york based on the word of far more problematic witnesses than michael cohen, including contract killers, mob figures, and other wrongdoers i believe the prosecution has established proof beyond a reasonable doubt. we'll see what happens since tomorrow, but we'll find out who's right soon enough when we get that verdict from the jury, that is the great thing about trials. you get an answer in the end, the jury will decide norm eisen and david oscar marcus. we appreciate both of you making time tonight. thank so much.

>> thank you. thank you. >> national security adviser jake sullivan met with israel's prime minister today to talk about humanitarian conditions in rafa fighting in gaza and the future of the territory right what will it take to turn the talking into a deal or action tonight on the whole story dr. sanjay gupta reports on hold for the devastating effects of all timers reversing something that seems so preordained. >> it sounds extraordinary. >> the whole story with anderson cooper tonight at eight on cnn make your dream

instant bowl with the latest on all of this as the diplomatic efforts are playing out we have learned from palestinian health officials that at least 35 people died in an airstrike in central gaza overnight, scott, what more can you tell us? >> hey, jessica? yeah, so this is the nuseirat camp and video from the aftermath shows the scale of the destruction. witnesses say that there was one single explosion that went off at 3:00 in the morning in the middle of the night, what everyone was sleeping without any warning and it flattened the better part of five home with people were digging through the rubble with barely more than their hands, hoping to find survivors. but because they don't have any heavy equipment to help them out, the chances of that seemed quite remote. what they did find is bodies, some of them women and children as well. we also got video from our cnn stringer on the ground from the morgue joined bodies all over the floor. some of them stacked on top of each other, some of them very clearly also women and

children. why the israeli struck this particular target. we don't know. we've reached out for comment. they haven't said specifically beyond insisting that they follow international law as they work to dismantle hamas. jessica negotiations to end this conflict are underway even as is war cabinet official benny gantz confronts prime minister netanyahu over his lack of a plan. >> we saw another round a large round of anti-government protests in israel last night has netanyahu showed any signs of feeling that pressure domestically at all not outwardly, at least management netanyahu came out very quickly and rejected the ultimatum from his opposition rival benny gantz. >> and even if against, did decide to leave government, it wouldn't topple netanyahu's government right away, though he would be much more beholden, even more beholden. then he already is to the more extremist far-right elements of his coalition government. now

this visit from national security adviser jake sullivan is of course, meant to discuss the ceasefire situation, the aid situation, the possibility of normalization with the saudis. but it also very much highlighting some of the differences driving a wedge between gantz and netanyahu. first on normalization the saudis are insisting that any deal that's made has a component that involves an irreversible path for a palestinian state on this though, gantz and netanyahu actually seem to agree, not either of these men supports a palestinian state of course sullivan also pushed for more aid to get in for the israelis not to go ahead with a full scale ground incursion into rafah. and he also though, really pushed for the israelis to connect the military operation or to link it to some kind of an end game. and this is where benny gantz is really

pushing netanyahu to come up with some kind of a plan or to get involved with his which looks something like what it seems the americans would like to see a palestinian government in gaza that has the backing of the united states and has the backing of aerobes states as well. because at the moment, benjamin netanyahu is planned, looks a lot like the status quo with israel still firmly in control of gaza even after all of this is over, jessica maclean for us, thanks so much for that reporting. >> president biden spent all weekend according black voters, it's a voting group that could make or break his reelection bid well, it work. we'll explore next make your first move with battery power made by

joining us now to discuss the president's efforts seen in political commentator van jones and former republican representative joe walsh. great to see both of you. they ntu first, do you think the president effectively made his case to these young black men graduating from morehouse today i think he did. there was a lot of nervousness. people were your biden their fingernails, knees were knocking but first of all, those young morehouse men think, showed the rest of the american college students how you do it. they are respectful. they listened, they applauded appropriately, and they peacefully and non-disruptive preferably also made sure that people knew they care about what's happening to the palestinian folks in gaza. and that's the way you do it. so i think that not only did the president put on a clinic about how to speak to young people about an issue that they care about. but the young people also put on the clinic about how you stick up for your beliefs in a way that's dignified, respectful and joe, we know that biden is trying right now to shore up his base

and we're seeing him do this this weekend over the last several days. he's been doing that. he's also going to need, especially in these swing states, these independent voters to convince them as well. is he doing that effectively right now? >> there's jessica i don't think so. yeah. i agree with van. i thought the present isn't it gave a good speech today, but look, we talk about he's got a problem with black voters and latino voters and white voters this is an angry moment. we're living in a populace moment in american history, the american people are angry. they're off about the price of stuff and they're angry at a political system that doesn't seem to be in touch with sam trump demagogues this moment. he feeds voters lies, and bull crap and all the rest. but biden, i don't think understands her recognizes how angry folks are somehow he's got to figure out a way to speak to that van joe mentioned we are in some polls seeing softening and support for biden from voters of color, specifically latino and black voters.

>> i'm curious how real you think that is. i've talked to some people who say that just that donald trump getting 23% of black voters just would net they're never going to see that happen. do you think this is real? it is. may these are just polls were how would you assess that data that we're getting? >> it won't be 23, but it's going to be more than people expect. i think there are people part of the chattering classes on the coast to think that because we see donald trump a certain way, that we see him is unacceptable because of a lot of racial bomb throwing. he's done over the years that everybody else who the person of color let's see the exactly the same way. and that's just not true. i mean, you do have people who are just mad as was just said, with the situation, with the status quo. and you're asking them to vote for the status quo. and when you sit down and white hot stove, you might jump anyway to get off that stove left, right, up, down, libertarian green party. so you've got people

sitting on a white hot stove. you can't tell which way they're going to jump, but the idea that there's is ironclad lock on the black vote that's going to last forever. i think that comes to an end this year. we just don't know how much erosion is going to be and do you think so going off of that analogy, you give us, do you think it's there that drawn to trump and what he's selling or it's just something different well, i just don't think that biden is that a great job of explaining or maybe we have in the media of explaining. biden has done a bunch of stuff for african-americans now he didn't get the voting rights we want and police reform we wanted other stuff we wanted, but there's a whole justice 40 initiative where billions of dollars are being directed toward poor communities, especially black and brown. nobody knows that there's stuff that biden has done. he's not just showing up the last minute. this stuff this administration has done all along that hadn't gotten the attention. so i think people feel we voted for this guy. we stood in long lines, we put up with a bunch of nonsense and now things aren't a lot better and so that pain that was just mentioned, the pain when you go

to the supermarket is with you every day and it's hard take it out on biden sometimes jessica van makes a great point again, the american people, white, black, and brown, are angry and trump feeds them, lies conspiracies and trump tries to take advantage of that by dividing us even more somehow, biden needs to show the american voters that he understands why they're angry and feed them good instead of the bad that trump feeds him. all right. joe walsh and van jones, or thanks to both of you. >> appreciate it. >> thank you. >> entertainment. entertainment mogul, diddy is apologizing just days after cnn obtained a video that appears to show him assaulting his former girlfriend. he has a new response. >> they also have reaction from that former girlfriends attorney ahead next on the whole story dr. sanjay gupta reports on hold for the

let's seven eastern for decades. >> researchers have tried and failed to come up with ways to treat alzheimer's. but now there are new signs of hope, a new tools to battle the disease. cnn chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta investigates for this week's the whole story, the last alzheimer's patient and premieres tonight. and here's a preview in the five years of making this documentary, the 20-year-old newlyweds i've met with patients all around the country who were diagnosed or at high risk for this devastating disease do remember this time in your life, my it made me really start to think about my own brain i have a family history of alzheimer's as well sometimes i feel a little rusty but sometimes i worry that i make mistakes that maybe my friends and family there are too polite to tell me

about your body composition. so that's why i decided to do something quite personal. your muscle mass, your body fat, quite revealing that wasn't quite right. i went through a battery of tests to assess my own risk. >> it's like we got a cholesterol test every year and check your blood pressure how do the same thing? >> the brands and what did i find? >> i'll just say it jessica, i got to tell you it was fascinating to go through all that and i very personal level for sure and i don't think that this sort of this sort of brain testing is something that she'd done widespread in a widespread way, yet but we. >> are starting to get to that point. >> if you think about it, it's just been over the last several decades that we started doing routine screening for certain cancers certainly for heart disease. >> i think we're gonna get to that point with brain health as well, just like you get your cholesterol checked or your blood pressure checked there are gonna be tests that you can do for your brain health and part of the reason jessica, you would do that is hopefully to prevent problems later on in

life. if to take it a step further, these researchers believe about 40% of these dementias could be prevented later in life. it's an extraordinary number. if you think about it to end it's through lifestyle changes not a new therapy, not a new medication. nothing like that. lifestyle changes which we know are important but i think through the making of this documentary film, you're going to see just how important those lifestyle changes are, and how quickly they can have an impact. so jessica, i hope you and everybody else gets a chance to watch it sounds absolutely fascinating. >> dr. sanjay gupta. thank you so much. the last alzheimer's patient heirs next right here on cnn, it's the whole story with anderson cooper one whole hour, one whole story. thanks so much for joining me this evening. i'm jessica gene. have a great night
