Quote, you are leaving us to be slaughtered. You have nothing for us. Get back. Get to the back. Cell phone video capturing the exact moment a construction site at the Hard Rock Hotel in new orleans came crashing down. Announcer this is new day weekend with Victor Blackwell and christi paul. We start this hour with the new reporting on one of the key witnesses in the impeachment inquiry. The Washington Post says that Gordon Sondland, the u. S. Ambassador to the europe union, will Tell Congress that President Trump told him exactly what to write in the text message he sent to the top u. S. Diplomat in ukraine denying quid pro quo. The text is a major focal point of House Democrats impeachment probe. Soo Sarah Westwood is joining us from washington. We are should point out sondland is expected to say he doesnt fif the president was telling him the truth when he directed him to send that text message. Reporter the white house not commenteding specifically on what the Washington Post is reporting that Gordon Sondland is expected to tell lawmakers but keep in mind the Trump Administration did try to block sondlands system this week. We saw the white house declare war on the impeachment proceedings. Sondland, according to the Washington Post, is expected to tell lawmakers that in a phone conversation, President Trump told him exactly what to write in that september 9th text exchange. Keep in mind in that Exchange Bill taylor, the top u. S. Diplomat in ukraine, said that it would be crazy to withhold aid with help with the campaign and Gordon Sondland replied, bill, i believe you are inindirect about President Trumps intentions. The president has been chris cal clear no quid wrote quos of any kind. Sondland is expected to tell lawmakers that President Trump told him to write that and expected to tell lawmakers at the time he did not noknow the motivations for the reason for the administration was withholding 400 Million Dollar security aid to ukraine. Sondland is not the only official expected to testify on capitol hill this week. Tomorrow youll see hill testifying and tuesday youll see george kent, Deputy Assistant secretary at the state department and then sondland and brechbuhl is expected to testify and then bill taylor. All of this led by House Democrats. President trump was railing against the democrats last night when he spoke at the value voter summit and even threatened to sue adam schiff and speaker pelosi. Take a listen. I tell my lawyers, sue him any way. He has got immunity. But they cant mean immunity for that. I said sue him any way. Even if we lose, the American Public will understand. And sue nancy pelosi. Or maybe we should just impeach them. Reporter as we have noted, that is not a thing. You cant sue a member of congress for something that they say on the floor of congress. Lawmakers will return to washington after a break this week and we will see these impeachment proceedings deepen. Sarah westwood, thank you. President trump is defending Rudy Giuliani calling him a great guy who is rough around the edges sometimes. Yesterday, the New York Times reported that giulianis dealings with ukraine are part of a federal investigation but in a phone conversation last night, the president had nothing but praise for his personal attorney. Hes a great gentleman. He was a great mayor. Maybe one of the greatest mayor in the history of new york. He was a fantastic prosecutor. I know nothing about him being under investigation. As somebody said, i heard a report today. I cant imagine it. He is a man that looks for corruption and whatever he does, i really believe he is a totally i mean, i know he is an honorable man. I stand behind Rudy Giuliani. Absolutely. Again, he was a crime fighter from day one. Its a change from friday when the president told reporters that he didnt know if Rudy Giuliani was his lawyer. Rudy giuliani tells cnn he is not aware that he is under investigation. Lets break out a bit here this president s threat to sue. The president s attorney jay sekulow says the president s threat to sue schiff and pelosi is nothing off the table. The constitution takes it off the table. The speech and debate clause senators and representatives in automatic cases except treason, felony, and breach of the spes be privileged from arrest during their attendance of the session of their respective houses and for any speech or debate in either house they shall not be questioned in any other place. James wilson one of the original justices of Supreme Court explained this about members of congress. It is necessary he should enjoy thefuls liberty of speech and be protected from the resentment of everyone, however, powerful, to whom the exercise of that liberty may occasion offense. That is the constitution regardless of what the president says about suing nancy pelosi and adam schiff. Lets bring in now april ryan, White House Correspondent for American Urban Radio Networks and cnn political analyst. April, good morning to you first. Good morning, victor. We have settled that. Lets talk about what the white house, those around the president , regardless of what he says at a summit, are they confident in a defense or a narrative that they are trying to put up what we are seeing against the democrats in the house . No, they are never confident. Because you have a president who could be on the page with them for a moment and then hell change the script. So its always flying by the seat of your pants at the white house. But at the end of the day, this president is going to do what he wants, what he wants. It may not always necessarily be about the American People. At this moment, this lawsuit is about the president or the potential or his threat of a lawsuit of adam schiff and nancy pelosi. Its about him, businehis persob and not about the American People. At the end of the day i talked with senator benefit cardan and he said this is a serious constitutional issue for members of the house and senate to undertake as it realities to the impeachment inquiry and if it goes into articles of impeachment and they have the impeachment hearings and things of that nature. That is serious and under the constitution and this president should not try to impede the process. We will see how close his attorney Rudy Giuliani comes to that process. On twitter he called him a legendary crime buster and the greatest mayor in the history of the New York Times. There was some vacillating on friday with, i dont know if he is my attorney, has been. Right. We have seen the space the president between himself and mike cohen and paul man a forty. Does this relationship appear to be different than those . It depends on the day. And the news of the day and whatever happens behind the closed doors we dont know about, where the president stands with whomever it is. Rudy giuliani, yes, we know him. We knew him as a hero during 9 11. He was the mayor. He was the worlds mayor. He was there when the twin towers came down and all of the havoc that happened around one of the worst terrorist attacks on american soil. But there has been times since then. He is now playing a different role. He is now this bombastic man who goes on television and says things as the president s lawyer that maybe he shouldnt say. You know, he talked about going over to the ukraine and doing Opposition Research on joe biden. Now he is in trouble for it. Now the president is in trouble about it and the president has gone out talking about, you know, getting china, communist country to investigate the United States. One good lawyer would say shut up. Giuliani is putting himself and the president in jeopardy and they need to be quiet but its too late. The or more stark juxtaposition you mentioned 9 11. According to the New York Times he is being investigated by the office he once led there in the Southern District of new york. 30 seconds on this if you can just limit it to that. We know that Gordon Sondland, the ambassador to the eu, will be on capitol hill this week, expected to tell lawmakers that what he text that there is no quid pro quo, that came directly from the president. We will see what he says late this week. What is the reaction to inside the white house to these employees defying the orders from the state department, from the administration, not to cooperate . They dont like it, bottom line. They dont like it i. Will there be a consequence or any indication a consequence . There is always retaliation. Even beyond what we know, there will be retaliation from this president and this administration for whomever defies what the president says. End of story. April ryan, good to have you. By the way by the way i knew there was something by the way yesterday, the Morgan State University won yesterday for our homecoming. Im so sorry but im happy. One day of victory, im sure that train will not continue. You owe me crabs now you owe me some maryland crabs now. Youll get them. Thanks, april. All right. I know i will thanks, victor. She said she was sorry but she didnt mean it yeah. She did. She is laughing. I knew it was coming. We are just two days away from the cnn and the New York Times democratic president ial debate. Coming up, new jersey senator cory bookers National Press secretary talking to us about his strategy now. Crews are working to rescue a construction worker trapped in the cement and steel of a collapsed Hotel Project there in new orleans. We will get you will the latest live. Be right back. With moderate to severe Crohns Disease, i was there, just not always where i needed to be. Is she alright . I hope so. So i talked to my doctor about humira.

Cnns rosa flores is pllive fro new orleans with the very latest. Do they have any indication as to how long they think they will be there, rosa . Reporter they really dont, at this point.

We are told that those rescue efforts are expected to resume later this morning but as you mentioned, one person is missing, two people are dead. Those names have not been released. 18 others have been transported to the hospital. Youll seal the area is still barricaded and beyond those barricades you see the pile of degree. Here is what we know from local authorities. The partial collapse came in yesterday morning of a partial collapse of the Hard Rock Hotel in downtown new orleans when firefighters arrived, according to the new orleans fire department, they found that the building was unstable. If you take a look at the aerial footage of this collapse, youll see that those floors flattened and it almost creates a cascading effect. Portions of that concrete flied on the street and create a cloud of dust. If you look closely, youll see that workers are running for their lives. According to the construction company, about 100 workers were onsite. Here is what one of them had to say. Take a listen. I cant explain it. Man, it was like hearing it, it was just it was crazy. That sound. Like watched guys move to the side like, i dont know, man. Just crazy. Reporter now a crane was rolled in overnight to try to stabilize this structure. It was brought in by Louisiana State Police Escorted by those officers. Of course, its very early at this point to know what caused this collapse. We know the state Fire Marshals Office is onsite.

Edd polls suggest edwards has a decent shot at reelection. Two days now. Two days from the cnn and the New York Times democratic president ial debate. Tuesday, 12 candidates will go headtohead in a battleground state of ohio. New jersey senator cory booker will be on that stage and joining me is his campaign National Press secretary, sabrina. Good morning to you. Thanks for having me on today. Good morning. There are a lot of people on that stage. What is the mission for senator booker . As you said, there is a lot of people on that stage. Twelve candidates. A short amount of time to make our case to the American People tuning in. You know, i think this is a great opportunity for copper cory to highlight why he is the best candidate in this race. A president in the white house is stoke on dividing this q country and stoking hate in our country. Cory is on the platform of uniting people together and i think what youll see a lot of come tuesday night, talking about how we can bring this country together and how he will heal this country and really leading on past experiences to showcase that, whether his term as mayor or senator in congress today. The senator has, according to analysts, had strong debate performances. The second debate, cnn debate in detroit and abc debate as well but not transitioned into longlasting support or momentum. What is the disconnect . I still think its early. We are still months out from Iowa Caucuses and still months out from the first person being able to cast a ballot and we know at this time in 2008 and beyond, you know, Hillary Clinton was leading by over 20 points over barack obama. This time i think in 2015, we were still talking about Rudy Giuliani leading the top of the polls. So we have a lot of time to make our case still to the American People and i think on tuesdays debate is just another moment for us to showcase why cory booker is the best candidate in this race. Everyone will remember that i think about the 20th of september, senator booker made this urgent fundraising appeal and he needed 1. 7 Million Dollars, he said to essentially stale in the race to stay on a path to the nomination. The Campaign Reports in those ten days, 2. 1 million came in. Lets look at the put up the poll, the latest poll that came in that has senator booker at 2 . This is this month. How is the path after getting that money in any clearer, any more prominent for senator booker . What we saw in that ten days was we wanted to peel back the curtain for people. People all across the country love cory booker and wanted his voice to stay in this race. We saw a tremendous outpouring of support even if people had not endorsed yet we saw Stacey Abrams saying corys invoice is important in this race. We exceeded our goal what we are raising and certainly staying in this race. We know that we still have our case to make to the American People. We know there is still time, even though on this program here we talk about it on a daily, hourly, you know, minutebyminute basis, we still have a lot of time here to make the case on why cory booker is the best candidate in this rals. Sabrina singh, thanks so much. Thank you. Tune into the cnn and the New York Times democratic president ial debate live from ohio. Tuesday night, 8 00 p. M. Eastern here on cnn.

People in texas are demanding some answers right now after a 28yearold africanamerican woman was shot and killed by a Police Officer as she was inside her own home. This happened early yesterday morning. Lets get the latest now from Nicole Jacobs from ktvt. She was a cool aunt who stayed up until 2 00 a. M. Playing video games. Reporter and what jefferson was doing in the overnight hours with her nephew. Hardest part about this is i spoke with the 8yearold who explained what it was like nlds of the house. Reporter just before 2 30, james smith, a neighbor of the east allen avenue home called the nonemergency ft. Worth Police Number when he saw his neighbors door ajar. Informed them that my name was elderly sickly lady and i was concerned for her health. Reporter when police arrived, smith recalls no lights, no sirens, no officers identifying themselves. Three or four tactical officers come from around the corner it seemed like walking across the street, going in front of her house and past the front doors which were open and go down the side of her house to the rerl of her house and less than a minute, i heard gunshots. Reporter ft. Worth Police Confirm an officer shot and killed jefferson. They followed up information with a clip of body camera video that shows officers moving along the side of the home into the backyard with flashlights shining and then this. Hands up show your hands we went from a check to a woman killed by the cops. Shot through a screened window. Ft. Worth officers later releasing imagines images of a firearm inside the home. They presented no way the firearm was contribute to the use of deadly force here. They are rally around the family who declined to speak to the media to lead to activists to share their outrage. This is one i cannot swallow. We are not talking pranks for nobody. Our voice will be heard this time. Jefferson was an Xavier University graduate working in medical sales and holding down the fort while her mother was in the hospital and a neighbor just trying to be a good neighbor, left feeling like this. I feel guilty because had i not called is the ft. Worth police, my neighbor would still be alive today. Reporter the demand for answers and justice and a call for an independent investigation, many in the Community Say an indictment is the right call. Thats murder. Our thanks to Nicole Jacobs of ktvt. The officer is on administrative leave pending an investigation. Reporter joey jackson is with us now. Was it murder, joey . That remains to be seen. Let me say what three concerns are. From a strategic perspective, i dont get or understand why not announce yourself . Why not lights . Why not sirens . Why the element of surprise here . Perhaps some reason that will be explained. The other issue is if youre tactical or if youre going to say put your hands um perhaps give somebody the opportunity to do that. Seems like time is on your side. From a legal perspective, you look at the issue of the immediacy of the threat. Is there an eminent threat i feel my life is in danger that i have to shoot. It seems to me a shot was out of confusion was out of i have to shoot, i dont know any better or maybe the officer was just scared. We got to do a lot better than that. From a political perspective, that involves the community. Youre going to release the fact that she has a gun in the home as perhaps what . To suggest she had a gun and that we were perhaps fearful for our life . No indication where that gun was. No indication she had that gun. There is no indication that she should not have the gun. Texas is a very liberal castate. Its horrible when someone gets shot and killed in their own home and you go for a Wellness Check or see what is going on on may be april miss and someone is dead and something is wrong and needs to be investigated and Community Needs answers and deserve them and should get them. In a Statement Released yesterday the ft. Worth Police Officer who said the officer whose name had not been released proceed the threat and drew his weapon. What does he have to prove to be convincing that he felt a threat there . He was outside a home, she was inside hers. The concern i have is that teams sob the narrative all the time. Someone is dead, doesnt matter where, i perceived a threat, those are magic words, lets let walk and let the officer go in peace. Someone is dead here. You have to show there is a immediacy i felt for the fear of my life or someone else or that i would have to endure bodily harm. Its, obviously, dark and a confusing environment. Youre going there for a welfare check or Wellness Check. Is that enough . Because its dark and someone is standing somewhere you shoot them . What else made you fear for your life . What else made your training kick in such you felt that shooting at that time was necessary and appropriate . Forced use has to be proportionate to the threat also. You telling someone to get their hands up and seconds later firing a shot. It does not appear to be enough. I understand the communitys frustration and concern and not ready to say this is murder but im ready to say there needs to be absolutely investigated thoroughly and if there was no basis for what the shot was fired, then there needs to be accountability on the police department. This is happening way too much. There is a use of force contin numb continuum and go from one level to another that is the weapon is being met instantly and i dont think that is fair to community and community residents. Joey jackson, thank you. Thank you. As this crisis in syria continues, youll see how one man is making a desperate plea to members of congress. We are going to show you his journey. No, just a sec. What would it look like if we listened more . Could the right voice, the right set of words, bring us all just a little closer . Get us to open up . Even push us further .

Magic mornings happen. Theres a better choice. Aleve pm. This morning Turkish Forces have blocked the main road to kobani where u. S. Troops are based. We want to show you new video of american troops leaving that area. This is showing a lot of what is at stake in the syrian crisis. A man who knows more about that than anyone else. He goes by the name caesar. He risked his life for years to expose the atrocities of the syrian president assad and his regime. Recently he returned to washington to beg for congress for action as a bill sits on mitchell mcconnells desk. I want to warn you about the next story. The images are very graphic and disturbing so we want you to be aware of that. Here is cnn kate baldwin. Reporter we cant kell you his name. He wont lup hallow his voice t recorded as he speaks through a translator but we can show you the photos he risked his life to bring out of syria, some of which have never been seen publicly until now. And he is risking his life again to plead with congress to act. How are you feeling in this moment, being back in washington again . My feeling being here is a feeling of a bit of disappointment and, at the same time frustration because after everything that ive done in order to expose what the regime has done, we have yet to see any real action. Reporter his code name is caesar. He was a military photographer in damascus when the syrian warp beg warp began in 2011. Many this their eyes gouged out and most bodies had very deep cuts. Most of them were starved for many, many months and marks all over their bodies from headtotoe and i would see their jaws and teeth broken. Reporter instead of defecting right after the war broke out, caesar says he decided to stay for two and a half years to bear witness, collect evidence, and to expose who was really happening in his country. Where any sign of the simp thym of the dead could be used as betrayal. I would hours with the photographs and i would have to hide my emotions. I would have to pray that a tear does not come down my face because if they saw one tear, if they saw one expression on my face that showed sympathy, then i would be killed as would my family. Reporter how did you do that . I dont know. Reporter in 2013, he finally fled and brought with him what the fbi confirmed as authentic and the state departments ambassador for war crimes described as stronger evidence than what existed against the nazis. The Syrian Government has denied responsibility and called the photos fake. Caesar made his first trip to capitol hill in 2014, testifying before congress under cover in the exact same disguise he used for our interview. I honestly thought that if i could have the courage to go for the years that i did doing the work that i did endangering my life every single day, that once i came out and showed the world what i had, that the entire conscience of the world would move. Reporter then that didnt. Five whole years the world did not move. Reporter the sanctions sparked by caesars testimony and photographs has passed the house three times with bipartisan support but has yet to make it to the senate floor. So what i am pleading is for the American People to please save the Syrian People and save these people that do not deserve the hellus nightmare they are living . Reporter he made a statement to lindsey graham. Graham has had the easterly of President Trump and he revealed to cnn that he is introducing a resolution to declare assad a war criminal. We are not turning your our back to you. I wish we could do better. The Administration Needs to do more, quite frankly. I am admitted to not letting assad get away with it and standing behind people like caesar and ill make my colleagues in the senate vote. Reporter until then, the bill sits on senator mitchell mcconnells desk and leaves caesar right back where he began, putting his life on the line to try and convince the world to care and once and for all, not look away. We we are in the holocaust museum. After the holocaust, the world said never again. Im really struck by seeing the atrocities coming out of syria and the fact that the world is not saying that. Youre right. How many more children must be killed . How many more men must be tortured to death . How many more women must be raped until you mean it when you say never again . Reporter kate bolduan, cnn, washington. Performance comes in lots of flavors. Theres the ampedup, overtuned, feedingfrenzyof sheetmetalkind. And then theres performance that just leaves you feeling better as a result. Thats the kind lincolns about. Youre stronger than you know. So strong.

Thank you for what youre doing, first and foremost, and secondly, i understand that you were homeless at one point in your life. Tell me about that. Good morning, thanks for having me. Yes, maam, about 28 years ago i was homeless and i was pregnant. I left a very volatile domestic violent situation and i felt that it was important to get out of that situation for the safety of my child. And it was a very humbling experience, very scary, and to ask for help and not be able to get it, it just made me feel really awful. And i just never want anyone to feel like that again if i can help it. So how did you come up with the idea of these popup walls . Do they go up and they come down or do they stay up . I do have some walls that are actually permanent. However, the majority of them, they are popup walls. They go up and they come down in different areas as needed. And it has just been a pleasure to be able to assist people in having items to put out there for them and make their lives better a little bit at a time. Its a humbling experience to be able to do that. Its amazing to see the support youre getting as we look at some of these pictures. I dont know if youve been able to read what it says, but it says please take what you need, leave the rest for others, pay it forward when you can. I know that you have a fundraiser coming up november 1st, november 9th is your oneyear anniversary of this project and your hope at that point is to open up 25 walls in the city. What do you need most to make this happen . Honestly, what we need is we need community support. It takes a village. Its great to have this as my brainchild and my baby, but i cant do this without others. So if theres any businesses that would like to partner with us or sponsor, we definitely could use all the help we could get. Volunteers. A couple weeks ago they did a segment on the today show and im humbled that they feel that my project is worthy. And ive received over 150 requests for different cities to come out and put up walls. So i do want people to know if you invite me and you bring me, im coming. I want to be able to help as many people as i possibly can. And you are. And just to let you know, on thursday this week we put up our 200th wall and weve helped over 27,000 people in less than a year. Like you say, when somebody is homeless, they need to know that somebody cares about that and wants to help. Holly jackson, thank you so much for all of your work. Thank you. Well be watching.
