12:01 am
and get one free or only 24, 95 each i'm dr. sanjay gupta in london and this is cnn well, hello and welcome to our view as watching around the world. i'm becky anderson in london, and we all following breaking news out of iran for you where the government is expressing condolences save the deaths of president ebrahim raisi and the country's foreign minister. and seven others in a helicopter crash. now the bodies of those killed will be transported to a staging area in the city of tabriz iranian officials say the helicopter with nine people on board, ran into trouble amid
12:02 am
heavy fog on sunday afternoon, images of the crash site and iran's east azerbaijan province show the remote mountainous area where the aircraft went down. the president and other officials have been attending an ceremony of a new near the border with azerbaijan iranian state tv is airing islamic prayers between news broadcasts afterward of the president's death and the country's supreme leader is vowing there will be no disruption in iran's work. well, i've been watching following regional reactions from hong kong first, let's bring in paula hancocks with more from mow and we are just paula getting the first images of the removal of the bodies from the crash site, what more do we know at this point? >> that's right, becky, we're hearing this and seeing this from the iranian red crescent
12:03 am
that they are transporting the bodies from that location where the helicopter crashed and taking them to the closest city of tabriz at this point, they say now that the official search and rescue operation is over, and now it is moving really towards a mourning period in iran itself. now we have heard from the iranian government there was an urgent meeting of the government a little earlier this monday morning, and what we did see as well was the seats where president raisi usually sits, had a black sash across the chair to show morning as well. now we heard from the government saying they express their condolences over the deaths of the nine people on board, saying they praised president raisi is hard working and tireless and specified there wouldn't be the slightest disturbance in the administration of affairs in
12:04 am
iran. now, there were nine people on board this helicopter. it was part of a three helicopter convoy that had moved from the area close to the border with azerbaijan. and we know that two of those helicopters did land safely. but the helicopter that was carrying the president, it was carrying the foreign minister. one of the local governors, also an imam security officials, pilot let's and crew did. we can see there crush into the sayyed of a mountain. now it's it is an area that is very mountainous citizen area that is inhospitable when it comes to transport. and we have heard from the rescue teams themselves over those 16 hours that it took them to find this location that it was extremely difficult conditions. there was low fog, there was very little visibility. the temperatures were lower than they usually are at this time of the year.
12:05 am
in fact, the rescue teams themselves said that they couldn't put a helicopter into the air to try and help them with the search because it was simply too dangerous. so that really speaks to the conditions that this helicopter was flying in. in fact, turkey giving the use of a heat drone, certainly helped in the search and rescue. initially. but conditions will certainly be one thing that is looked at closely when it comes to the investigation. becky. >> good to have you all. thank you. paul is in abu dhabi. there's cross the ivan watson, who is in hong kong, bit spent years as the bureau chief for cnn in turkey. i know you spent some time traveling through this region where there's chopper went down initial reports ivan, sunday afternoon, that this helicopter had experienced what was described as a hard landing. it was not until the early hours of monday that it was confirmed. that nobody had survived. this
12:06 am
crash. let's talk about the chopper itself. the, state of the hardware as it were, that the second most powerful man in the country and the foreign minister were traveling many experts suggesting this decades old chopper really speaks to the sense of where this country is a state of its economy. the state of its airline industry as a whole, ivan right? well, many aviation experts have identified the model of a helicopter as a bell helicopter, which is believed to be manufactured in the us. >> iran had a famous rupture with its close ties with the us in 1979 climate revolution that brought the current system of government to power. so it stands to reason that this helicopter would have predated 1979 and the suggestion that the president of the country
12:07 am
might be traveling in a helicopter of that age and model really says something about perhaps where the priorities are in the government there, iran is producing its own, it has had a nuclear program. it has been producing its own drones, which have been used on the battlefields. and again, cities in ukraine by the russian military so one of the questions out there, why would the president the country have to be flying in potentially such an antiquated aircraft what happens next well, it is a succession and the iranian constitution has spelled that out and taking a look at iranian state media you can already hear anchors dressed in black television presenters talking about stability, right now, about how the islamic revolution is not just one person. this is a tragedy, this is a setback that ebrahim raisi
12:08 am
is some a martyr to be mourned. but that the islamic republic iran is stronger than that, and we'll move forward so that's one of the messages that's being sent by the government. the constitution spells out that the vice president, who was not elected in 2021, he was appointed and is relatively speaking, a little known individual named mohammed macaj bear he will serve as a kind of interim president while a council of the heads of the three branches of government, the judiciary, the parliament. and now this interim president, they will be tasked with setting up elections in some 50 days it's time important to stress that ebrahim raisi was not the most powerful individual in the iranian government. that of course, is the supreme leader, ali common ieee, who himself is an octogenarian. there has been speculation about his succession plan somewhere down the road. instead the
12:09 am
succession now for the president has been hastened as a result of this tragic turn of events good to have you, ivan. >> thank you very much. indeed, joining me now is allianz salary and professor of iranian history. the university of st. andrews. let's just pick up where, where ivan left off here just how significant is this news early monday that the iranian president and the foreign minister, let's be quite clear that saying amir abdullah yan have passed away in this helicopter crash to the northwest of tech wrong. let's just start there. let's just talk about the significance if you will well i think it will certainly be a shock to the system in terms of the political order. >> there'll be extremely worried because it will obviously been as has been said the management what if some of
12:10 am
transition with an election attempted, i suppose in the next 50 days, i think in the general administration of the country in the strategic over you, i don't think a huge amount will change. i mean, as has been noted in a racy was not really driving that he was an executor ready for what the supreme fito wanted to be done. so what there'll be struggling to find a course is someone who they think is as loyal and reliable for the system as racy was. in terms of his general competence, i mean, he was he was widely criticized from all sides of the spectrum. interestingly, even hard-liners didn't think he was as it's good at administrators as might've been. >> there is the possibility, of course, that they may be able to find someone who's as loyal and even moderately more competent in trying to running the country. >> but this will be something that they'll now have to go out and look for. and obviously for the system itself. i think it's the first time now and i think 40 years or so since a
12:11 am
sitting president died in office. but also as you say with the foreign minister yeah, and warning the country and its economy is no small order given the state of play in iran at present. >> so whoever is that next absolutely has a big job on their hands. but as you write the point out this is not the most powerful position in the country that is the supreme leader's position and the sort of the security infrastructure who effectively, let's be quite clear, run national security. and the idea direction of this country. so let's just constant in trait there for a moment i think what you're saying here, safe to assume there will be no change to the idea direction of this country, nor will be loss of these two men, the president and the foreign minister have a huge impact on iran's influence
12:12 am
around the region and the wider world, correct yes. >> i mean, i don't think it'll have a significant impact in either those areas because these are run by, by the irgc and in a broad sense, certainly the foreign policy and also obviously the strategic direction of the country as directed by the supreme leader and his office. >> i think i think the most serious thing for the regime is the questions that will be asked by people about how this happened. >> i mean, why they were traveling as has been said in such aged equipment, the helicopters, why they were traveling actually in the fog and a mountainous area. >> i mean, these sort of things are going to be right for conspiracy theories isn't iran, as you know, which don't need much to get going. so people will start to ask questions about how this happened and what it means actually about the way in which the country operates, what the state of its economy is, what the state of the administration is. i think a lot of these things will start to come out and you're already seeing things on social media and other forces in iran where
12:13 am
people are beginning to question what this tells us about the islamic republic itself and its current, and its current situation would you be surprised if there's provided an opportunity for, for example, the protest movement, which was with so noisy and i'm prevalent 18 months ago, would you expect there to be some some opportunity taken by the by the voices who are against this regime at this point, you point out already that in the sort of broad brush there is reputational damage just about why it was that this this event happened when it didn't how he did well, my my own view is that if the regime is sensible, of course they will try and speed through a succession fairly quickly. and run some sort of mock election. i mean, they won't want to bring crowds out on the street you're quite right about that. they won't want to run an election, so to speak, if
12:14 am
anything, it will be an even more lackluster election than the one that got racy and offers in the first place and the subsequent parliamentary elections. >> they'll want to make this quick, simple, clean avoid any possible opportunity for crowds to get out the street. >> but i think that damage about all this and the questions it just reinforces a sense among the wider population of the general malaise that's afflicting the islamic republic. >> this is important and if you think about it in the context of the recent confrontation with israel, where they've made a lot of tbs thumping noises about how powerful they were as a regional this actually densa arguments somehow. i mean, it doesn't look good for them. and at the end of the day, i think the longer-term problems for the regime are probably going to be a more serious than any immediate any immediate consequence. but we know from even the reactions of some people in iran that races,
12:15 am
races, death has not, is not being widely mourned. so let's put it that way. i mean, there are people who are not at all unhappy about what's happened. >> the public face of iran for many people around the world, of course, is the foreign minister and his saying a abdullah, jan, while conservative and very much aligned with the regimes, foreign policy has overseen what has been a relatively successful period of rapprochement with united arab emirates with the saudis. we've seen him on the move exhort positively around the region beyond and in washington who do you expect to take over that file and how impactful or important is that new figure with regard the kind of reputation of iran going forward? indeed, a very important files, for example, of the iran nuclear file and
12:16 am
the proxies around the region. and what happens next with regard, iran and israel well, i would say abdullah and successes are probably more performative than real, by the way, i mean, i would qualify, i don't think he was he was a successful as they tried to present it. >> but slightly contended to succeed and will be barbary county, his his his deputy. >> and he's a similar if anything, has got even more puritanical views and then abdullah here i'm had, i mean, in the sense of his is ideological convictions are pretty tight with the regime. >> so i actually see in the foreign ministry side of things probably much less less change really going on. i mean, i think the continuity there will be, will be pretty seamless good to have you sir. thank you thank you. thank you very much. >> reactions from world leaders on present races, death are coming in. india's prime minister narendra modi says he
12:17 am
is deeply shocked and saddened by raisi's tragic demise. and that quote, his contribution to strengthening the india, iran bilateral relationship will always be remembered. this statement from the president venezuela, quote, deeply saddened to have to say goodbye to an exemplary person. he said, nicolas maduro calling raisi the defender of the sovereignty of his people there's this from shake muhammad bin zayed al-nahyan, who is the president of the united arab emirates, quote, i extend my deepest condolences to the iranian government and people over the passing of president ebrahim raisi, foreign minister has saying amir abdullah jan, those accompanying them following a tragic accident, we pray that god grants them eternal rest and we extend our heartfelt sympathies to their families. the uae stands in solidarity with iran at this difficult

soil and you get good results. >> look at that. the broccoli was fantastic. >> that broccoli, i think some of them were six, seven pounds i'm becky anderson in london back to our breaking news story, this our iranian state media has confirmed the president ebrahim raisi and the country's foreign minister have died in a helicopter crash. >> seven other people well, on board. this is video of the site search and rescue teams say they found no survivors at that crash site and the bodies of those killed in the crash will be transported to the nearby city of tabriz the aircraft came down early sunday afternoon is it was flying over iran's east azerbaijan province, joining me now is cnn senior white house reported kevin lip has been traveling with us president joe biden in michigan. the administration will have been aware over the
12:23 am
hours that from from sunday afternoon when there were initial reports of a hard landing that something was a forgotten that there was a likelihood that the president would lose his life. what's been the response? >> yeah and i can tell you, officials at the white house in the state department kind of across the biden administration are watching this very, very closely and they haven't said anything yet. now that around his confirmed that president raisi has died, and i can tell you that they will be picking their words very carefully, certainly for how they're picked up part in iran, but also the wider world. i don't think the white house wants to provide any pretext for iran to claim that somehow the us was behind this, which is something that they've done in the past. and so i think as president biden and his team wake up in the morning, they will have a decision on how exactly they want to go about responding to this seismic event in tehran. and i think there'll be looking
12:24 am
at a couple of different areas for continuity when it comes to the leadership. one is, of course, the nuclear program in iran that is something that president biden had at one point, tried to contain through indirect negotiations. of course, those fell apart and iran has been in britain qing nuclear fuel since then, the president has applied sanctions and that is done a large part to put a damper on the iranian economy. and so i think what president biden will want to do is to see exactly where that goes next and the other of course, is the iranian proxies in the region that president biden has been dealing with? in the context of the israel-hamas war. of course, those practices have been targeting troops in the region. president biden has responded. he has tried to prevent the us from getting dragged into this broader conflict with iran more directly. but part of that has also been these indirect conversations with iran that have given us officials confidence that iran, at least under the leadership of
12:25 am
president racy, did not want a broader conflict. now, as i've talked to officials today, i don't think that there is any great hope that the leadership in iran will somehow adopt a new tone, a less hardline tone. they do, view, of course the supreme leader is the ultimate decision-maker. they see the irgc is having more and more a role in iran, more generally. and so i don't think that there's any great hope that there will be an easing of tensions. i think what the primary goal will be to contain the volatility that this event has caused in an already deeply uncertain region president biden certainly doesn't want to see any more uncertainty than there already exists particularly as he is on the precipice of all of these different things, whether it's a ceasefire paired with the hostage deal, or this broader regional vision that he is trying to promote including a new defense pact with saudi
12:26 am
arabia potentially bringing israel into that as well. all with the broader goal of providing a bulwark against iran, his national security adviser, jake sullivan let's just in saudi arabia and israel trying to come to some kind agreement on that front. so this is all happening at credit critical moment for president biden when it comes to its middle east policy, this adds, i think just another layer of volatility that his aides and his team will be trying to ascertain and assess as the sunrises on the east coast and a couple of hours from now, good to have you, kevin. >> thank you very much, indeed. and we will have a lot more of our special coverage of the death of iran's president died in a helicopter crash. earlier on sunday. ahead, we'll hear from our chief international and care christiana amanpour, and look at what all of this could mean for the country country's future stay with this. >> i'm thinking, i'm going to

12:31 am
over the weekend. he was elected shin 2021 and iran's government is expected to move quickly to organize a new election for his replacement. what earlier we spoke with our chief international and click christiana on poor. she noted how this could not come at a more unstable time for iran or the region as a whole those internal protests and discontent that have been crushed brutally in the aftermath of mahsa amini's debt. >> and that was under the direction of president racy and the supreme leader and the iranian revolutionary guard corps. it also comes at a time when the israel war on gaza against hamas continues. and as you note, the perennial shadow war between israel and iran that has been going on broke into the open over the last several weeks. >> that somewhat subsided after a reaction from both sides.
12:32 am
>> but nonetheless, it shows the peril of the situation you can imagine for the united states, for the west, one of the most important issues is the iran nuclear issue that has been somewhat contain after the 2015 nuclear agreement that president obama negotiated with iran and with europe and was rubber stamp for rubber stamped into officialdom by the entire united nations process president trump, as the urging also, prime minister benjamin netanyahu pool, the united states out of that and that caused much more uncertainty, instability over the process of de, around nuclear programs. we understand over the last week or so that would some word from the iaea, the un nuclear agency, that they were back in talks with iran to make sure that everything was happening above board and within the nuclear regulations, the non-proliferation treaty, we
12:33 am
wait to see what kind of work they were doing you on that. and it's known that the united states is trying to stabilize issues with iran, given the volatility of the region right now let's keep john paul reporting mare java dan far is director of the middle east economic and political analysis company, joins us now from tel aviv, it's good to have you said i mean, as christiane rightly pointed out, this is a complex complicated time, not just for the country, but for the region as a whole. >> from your perspective, they're in tel that will be quite clear. let's start with how big a gap the departure from the scene, the death of ebrahim raisi will be for the islamic republic to your mind well as president is the factor is no longer there. >> the gap is not going to be very difficult to fill president raised it was not a very successful president in terms of the economy in iran,
12:34 am
the president's hands are usually tied because, because although they have a lot of responsibility, the authority to carry out things really remains in the hands of the supreme leader. and this was discovered soon after revolution that he, the first prime minister of iran is the bizarre guns said, being a prime minister, which back then had this almost the same authority as president is like having a knife, but the blade is in someone else's hand. so the blade was an ad of the supreme leader. the same applies to the president in iran. of course, the relationship with i told her how many does bolster their power. but precedent raisi was not somebody with the background is security. he was not somebody with a background in iran's bureaucracy. he was a chief for the judiciary. he cut his teeth in the judiciary system of the islamic republic and he was not a man of vision when he was not, he was not a charismatic politician, came to change things. he was a follower of ayatollah khomeini
12:35 am
and the economy which was supposed to manage, actually got worse than during under president roh president roll honey inherited iran's economy are 39% inflation in 2013. >> he probably 15% in 2000 and by 2015 already two years after being empowered, mr. raisi, the average inflation rate on the histone was 45%. so is the feeling of his shoes not going to be that difficult? >> the vice president is a man by the name of mohammed, macaj. just tell us what we know about what happens next so far as a constitution is concerned, what we know about the vice president and what the likely consequences for foreign policy and national security as you rightly pointed out, not the files held by the presidency
12:36 am
necessarily, certainly not the ideological direction of the country that's certainly not a file held by the president and c, but what do we know about the man who is likely to take on this role going forward we'll move. somebody was a senior figure in one of the foundations economic foundations under the guise of four, basically, which is owned by the supreme leader, is the biggest economic foundations that are there israel, your family home, which means that the base to carry out the orders of the iman, basically mount harmony according to reuters investigation, if i'm not mistaken in 2012 it owns something at least 10 billion, if not more, the conglomerate and this is one of the biggest conglomerates that reports directly to the supreme leader is not subject to tax or excise it carries tremendous political
12:37 am
and economic weight because it has the supreme leader behind it. >> and this was one of the people running it. and this is where it comes from, is somebody who's very trusted by the supreme leader. but again these are, these are not people who are decent, people who are going to have a vision, who are people who are going to change things or are going to envision some, some new way to develop iran's economy, their job is most important the lead to follow the orders of the supreme leader as somebody wants said two to the supreme leader says where the rails are, the goals and their job is to just put the rails there and this is his job is not going to be somebody is going to change things much and the vice president, the speaker of the parliament, stuck live off. and the head of the judiciary, you, mr. asia e for the next 50 days are going to arrange a new
12:38 am
presidential election, which will have to be held by phantoms taken eighth of july let's get some response not least from the iranian-backed proxies around the region, from the houthis, our deepest condolences to the uranium people and the iranian leadership. importantly, i think we should point how that goes on to say the uranium people will continue to have leaders loyal to their people. al-houthi said sincere condolences, deep sympathy in solidarity to the supreme leader and leader of the islamic revolution. his eminence side ali hanako, to the iranian government and to the brotherly iranian in people we are confident that the islamic republic of iran will be able with the help of alla to overcome the consequences of this great loss as de, iranian people have strong institutions capable of dealing with this ordeal i'm similar response
12:39 am
from the hezbollah group and indeed a response in the same vein from hamas were also getting responses from around the region. what i tell you what let before i get you you should all response. let's just get your reaction to the response of the iranian proxies to this news know becky, when it comes to iran's proxies, the person should focus on alongside mr. ics, the other person was killed in the island crash as foreign minister abdullah yawn according to his own accounts, that flew in, arabic speaker, very, very close to shake has an astral or the head of phase balah he said that in the pride, becoming farmers, when you visited lebanon, he would stay up all night sometimes two 4:00 a.m. in the morning speaking to us and astro in arabic, the two are very close the foreign
12:40 am
minister was somebody with a security background, somebody who was again in charge of carrying out the islamic republic's policies, proxy policies in the middle east. >> and i think successfully so but yeah, but in terms of any change in the region, the death of mr. icm is there abdullah jan, and others is not going to bring any change today's i'm pre-public of iran's policies in the region because they are set in reality. i mean, not, not bureaucratically in realistically they are set by the security establishment and a very close number of confidence of the supreme leader who set different options for the supreme de, they present different options. they come up with new plans mr. raisi was not known to be one of those people and normal misdemeanor abdullah eons. so it's not expected that we're going to see much change in the islamic republic of iran's policies in the region after yesterday's tragedy. >> it's good to have you add to your point, hezbollah and
12:41 am
responding to this news with the following. the iranian president was a big brother and a strong supporter hezbollah in lebanon extends its deepest condolences and feelings have similar 54 iran supreme leader, iranian officials and the iranian people's loss of statement by the group said merits so good to have you. thank you very much. >> indeed this is expected to be a big day and a big week in former us president donald trump's criminal trial. >> we will explain why just ahead with my colleague, kristie lu stout the trump hush money trial gavel to gavel coverage, the weight only cnn can bring it to you. >> legal insight, expert analysis, and real-time updates live from the courtroom follow the facts, follow the testimony, follows. see it live
