cnn's frederik pleitgen is live in teheran. you know, the united states, you heard the president in several different media opportunities say call me, i want the iranians to call me. what's the latest from the leadership? >> reporter: yeah, well, the iranians are saying at this point in time absolutely not. it was interesting because ir iran's supreme leader said negotiations with the united states are out of the question. he said that negotiations with the u.s. as he put it are poison but negotiations specifically with the trump white house he said would be extra poison or double poison simply because of the strategy that the white house has had of this maximum pressure. he said that is exactly like coesc c coercion, the president said we have all the phone numbers we feed of the united states but at this point in time goesnegotiat are not going to happen. you said and we learned that president trump apparently not happy about some of his advisers in the white house. he feels that some of them are moving too quickly and too fo

cnn's fred pleitgen joining me right now. fred the plane left the airport in moscow only to turn around with trouble. >> reporter: yeah, you're absolutely right. turned around only after a couple minutes. certainly looking at that video it seems a surprise that anybody would have walked away from that crash alive. you can see the plane coming down at the airport and took off from that airport only a couple hours before that incident there happened. then comes to a screeching halt and seems to somehow slide off the tarmac absolutely engulfed in a ball of fire. as you said, people then running out of the plane. now, apparently what happened is that it took off a couple minutes later. it declared an emergency and decided to return back to that airport. it's unclear what exactly caused all that. the plane then touched down about 26 or 28 minutes after it had taken off. so far what the russian investigators are saying is they say those engines caught on fire after the plane hit the ground. so it could have been somewhat of a hard

cnn's manu raju is on capitol hill. and what can you tell us? what is the committee specifically asking for? >> reporter: well, they want these lawyers to turn over documents and submit to interviews as part of this committee's investigation into potential obstruction of its own previous probe into russian interference. now, this all stems back from michael cohen's testimony to this very committee, when he downplayed the effort to try to get that trump tower moscow project back in 2017, when he testified. he downplayed the role of the trump organizations pursued, suggested that it ended in january of 2016, when it went on much longer. he later acknowledged lying, and that's one of the things he pleaded guilty to. now, after the democrats took control in this congress, they brought michael cohen back to this committee. he provided the committee with edited statements that showed that he had some -- there was some involvement by trump attorneys before he testified, before the house committee back in 2017. now, what adam schiff is asking for is mor

cnn analyst john avalon is here with me. there is a heck of lot to go through but let's start with this senate intel committee subpoena of don jr. so just as the president himself had said the mueller report exonerated him, which it didn't, he is now saying that his son has been exonerated and he is surprised by the subpoena. i'm not quite sure if he is going to fight it though. what do you think of that? >> what is striking is the letter on behalf of don jr. calling burr a so-called republican unwilling to stand up to his boss warner. burr is a republican in quite good standing. he's the chairman of the committee and been operating in bipartisan fashion something unusual in washington but this is the tendency in the party to call out anyone who breaks ranks with the trump family as a hairetic. it is an insult to burr and thein defense of the senate. they said written questions may be okay so we're back to that game. but they've been calling witnesses back. they want to get it right and they've had their own investigation go

i should note, that is our list at cnn. now, in total, a family of four can expect to spend almost $800 more a year. nearly 1 million americans could lose their jobs. i want to bring in cnn global economic analyst. is this how we're going to feel the impact? raises on items, 50 cents here, $1 there? >> for sure. this round of tariffs is really significant. the last time around, you saw businesses really taking most of the hit. they didn't pass the price increases on to consumers. this time around, there's a broad impact. you named a partial list of things we're going to feel. also, the pinging back and forth with potential retaliatory tariffs from china. we'll see about that next week. the $800 could be rising in the future. >> is this the best way to strike a trade deal in the end with china? >> in a word, no. you know, take this back even two years, when the president was first elected. we should have -- we have legitimate trade gripes against china. i will say that. we should have gotten allies on board. we should have g

cnn's boris sanchez is at the white house. boris, judging by his twitter feed, the president has a mixed bag of things on his mind today. did anything foreshadow this very strong warning to iran today and do we know what specifically triggered it? >> ana, we've asked figures on the national security council about circumstances about his tweet about iran. they have declined the comment. the president has not been shying using inflammatory rhetoric regarding nations that have difficult relationships with the united states, notably not just iran, but previously north korea until relations seemed to warm up a bit between the two. the president also tweeted about congressman justin amash, the first republican to suggest some of the actions by president trump described in the mueller report are impeachable. the president tweeting out to him, calling him a loser. certainly democrats don't feel that way, including senator elizabeth warren. obviously she is running for president. he is defended justin amash today on the campaign trail.

you're watching cnn. i'm brooke baldwin. tensions grow in washington as democrats continue to push for answers on all of the questions left hanging in the mueller report and today we are learning that we will have to wait even longer to hear from special counsel robert mueller. house judiciary chairman jerry nadler said despite earlier predictions the testimony will not happen next week. meantime there is more tension as we wait to see what former white house counsel don mcgahn does. he's now a private citizen. he has been subpoenaed to testify on may 21st. but we also know that the trump administration has ordered him not to share documents. so will he show up? if he refuses chairman nadler is ready to roll with contempt charges and now threatening to bundle them. let's go straight to our cnn legal analyst michael zeldin who was mueller's special assistant at doj and a former federal prosecutor so happy friday to you. nice to have you on as always. >> thank you, brooke. >> first on the bundling, what -- how does contempt ci

cnn's mox fostax foster is live london with this cnn exclusive. what have you learned, max? >> it is interesting. we learned an afternoon tea has been slotted into the state visit, which is the beginning of next month, which isn't automatic. in fact, in the past, prince charles has opted out of state visits from the chinese premier, for example. he's close to the dalai lama. we don't know whether the afternoon tea was set up by downing street, the whit house , or whether the palace got involved and wanted it to happen. i think you have prince charles stepping up into a more statesmanlike role as we head to, what they call here, reign change. it could be very sticky, as you say. they are diametrically opposed on the issue of climate change. earlier this year, i was with prince charles in the caribbean. he talked about potentially catastrophic global warming. demand the world's decision makers take responsibility and solve this crisis. president trump, in this country, has been a pin up to climate change deanniedeniers. of course, the u.s. pulled out of the paris climate accor

"if iran wants to fight, that will be the official end of iran. never threaten the united states again." well, cnn is on the ground covering these stories from across the region. our hadas gold is live in jerusalem and senior international correspondent fred pleitgen is in iran's capital tehran. fred, let's start with you. what is being made of this threat coming from the u.s. president, a man who just days ago said well, i hope there won't be war with iran? now we're seeing this threat via twitter. what's going on here? >> reporter: yeah. and the interesting part of, it rosemary, is it comes as president trump, as you said, at the end of last week continued to reiterate that he actually wants talks with the iranians,
