1:03 am
more than 800 law enforcement officers were on duty. police have detained three people for questioning, and the fbi has i set up a website asking people for video of what happened and tips by standards say they saw one person opened fire and then moved into tackle him. here's how they described what happened. >> i was hoping barriers just trying to stay in somewhat distance of them and that way i could i could see a cop and help him identify that was the guy and then just there wasn't any police officer at the moment at that time. so i'm just trying to yalda, anybody like can hear me and people are scrambling not knowing what's going on. and i just felt like that wasn't the situation. that was the best thing i could do in that situation or just let people know. this is the guy helped me out. >> he got close to me. i got the right angle on him and i hit him from behind and when i hit him from behind either jogged the gun out of his hand or out of his sleeve >> us president joe biden urged congress to pass tougher gun

1:05 am
kansas city and other agencies at the location to keep everyone safe. >> the people were not safe and hundreds of thousands were on the streets. kansas city schools had closed for the day, at an event like this is almost impossible to completely secure. it is a massive open space. tickets are not required. there are no gates and admission areas, so combine that with the fact that missouri is a state that does not control the carrying firearms. essentially, anyone can carry a firearm. you have a huge crowd and likely a large, significant portion of that population carrying firearms. so any conflict or dispute can easily turn into a shooting. >> still unclear if the parade was actually targeted. the chief said hey, all their players and staff are safe as are the governors of missouri and kansas who were both at the celebration chiefs star
1:06 am
quarterback patrick mahomes posted on x, praying for kansas city. >> this is absolutely a tragedy. the likes of which we would have never expected in kansas city and the likes of which we will remember for some time. >> now, the police chief who you just heard from was out on the street. she heard the gunfire and described her officers and others running weapons drawn to the danger. this is clearly a very active investigation still, and the police are appealing to the public for help. >> they also want to narrow >> down to make sure that there was nobody else involved in the shooting who is not already in custody nick watt, cnn, los angeles the kansas city chiefs, issued a statement expressing their star sadness at the senseless act of violence at the parade and rally. >> they >> say their hearts go out to the victims, their families, and the entire city. it also says all cheese players and coaches are safe and accounted for one of the choose pairs, os what are we going to fix these
1:07 am
goals? how many more people have to die to say enough is enough, it's too easy for the wrong people to obtain guns in america cnn spoke with the former assistant director. of the fbi's criminal investigative division. he explained some of the factors that could have contributed to the shooting and the subsequent chaos kansas city, downtown, may, amongst 1 million people mingled in >> there are probably some pretty bad people, perhaps some gang members. then it sounds like this might have been a dispute and every single shot that was fired because of the density of the crowd hit somebody and that's why we may have those casualties. this was an impromptu type event, which is the highest risk type event. it's open, it's wide open. so it's good that they had 800 officers out there. but that wasn't enough. i mean, i'm not saying that it wouldn't happen if there were a cop every five feet. i think the type of
1:08 am
people that do this have no respect for law enforcement and it would happen anyway. it's just it's a difficult event to plan for and afterwards, i think a lot of information goes flying into different directions and it doesn't go into the one place if you had a pre set established command post, for example, and intelligence analyst sitting there waiting to grab the information. the fog of war and chaos does rein in this type of situation >> the us has now seen 49 mass shootings already this year. that's according to the gun violence archive, which defines a mass shooting as one in which at least four people are shot and either injured or killed in a single event donald trump is doubling down on his threat to abandon nato allies were not meeting defense spending guidelines over the weekend, the former us president said he'd encourage russia to attack them if they didn't meet
1:09 am
their spending targets, triggering international outrage. and trump put out more false statements on wednesday. >> we got our allies to pay their fair share and bring it in over $400 to nato. they weren't paying depots. you've been reading about it i've been saying, look, if they're not going to pay, we're not going to protect. okay and biden who said old, this is so bad, this is so terrible that he would say that no, if they're not paying their bills most of them weren't when i got there, one of the heads of the countries that up and said, does that mean that if we don't pay the bills that you're not going to protect us. i said that's exactly what it means. it's exactly i'm not going to protect your fact checkers have consistently pointed out that claims about nato ally supposedly failing to pay bills specifically are unequivocally false there are no bills, only defense spending guidelines that trigger new debts or legal obligations if they're not met. although all of the nato members are supposed to spend 2% of their gdp on military spending and order to take part
1:10 am
in the alliance, nato defense ministers are gathering for a day of meetings in brussels, belgium. today, they're discussing what the secretary general calls historic progress on defense spending. yen stoltenberg says he expects 18 allies to reach the target of spending at least 2% of their gdp on defense defense ministers will also discuss their efforts to increase production of ammunition and their support for ukraine has go live now to brussels and cnn's melissa bell. melissa, to what extent, given that a republican presidency next is as likely as not donald trump's remarks shaping what is being discussed at this summit and the rhetoric that you're hearing i think there were some very firm pushback and comments made, not just by jens stoltenberg over the >> last few days, but also by other defense minister xi's gathering here in brussels to meet in direct response to what they'd heard that challenge to the central pledge of the nato alliance, that an attack on one member as an attack on oil is so many have pointed out since the incendiary remarks made by the former american president
1:11 am
lost weekend, that is undercut by the very fact all of suggesting that the united states might not step in to protect one of its allies so there's been some serious pushback and yet jen stoltenberg has been keen to point out bianca, and i think this is important that the increased spending that you mentioned that we'll see 18 countries reach their commitment of 2% of gdp being spent on defense, spending. that is independent of the comments were indeed the longstanding gripes. the donald trump we've made when he was president. fact it was 2014 that nato allies had agreed that they would be stepping up their spending and every year for the last nine that has risen, stuff federal jen stoltenberg has pointed out, he's also been speaking bianca as he arrived here to the importance of ongoing support for ukraine i welcome the
1:12 am
decision, but european union and to allocate 50 billion euros to, ukraine. and i expect the us congress to agree a package of continued support to ukraine because supporting ukraine is not charity. supporting ukraine is an investment in our own security that we've also been hearing from lloyd austin, the american defense secretary, not physically because he's still recovering from his health complications, but by video conference, he spoke to the ukraine contact group and explained that he was confident that the united states will come up with that crucial funding to kyiv we they will not surrender. he told his counterparts in a video conference and neither will we >> minister. you've spent a good amount of time in ukraine. we've been hearing of strikes overnight, which of course it's a very important part of the backdrop of this meeting as you were just saying, what more can you tell us about what's
1:13 am
happened >> so a series of strikes, bianca from lviv through kyiv and all the way in the east to zaporizhzhia with four people killed overnight. and these strikes may or may not have been in direct response to what we saw one yesterday, considered by the british defense secretary as he arrived earlier at here as a sign that ukraine could still win this it's war. if there is the adequate supply support from allies, and of course, what i referred to as the sinking according to kyiv, of that russian warship in the black sea yesterday, >> we don't know if the strikes were in direct retaliation, retaliation, but certainly kyiv is claiming that as a result of the strike, it is now i disabled or destroyed a third of russia's wants formidable black sea fleet. and this according to grant shapps, is an important indication that there's still can be victory. certainly there's been a sense
1:14 am
that this was some vindication bianca of the wisdom of kyiv, slight change strategy, which has been to focus away from the very static land front lines and on the black sea and using its own sea drones with remarkable effect, bianca melissa bell for us in brussels. thank you so much russia has used an advanced hypersonic missile for the first time in combat. that is, according to a scientific group in ukraine, which analysts these missile fragments that you're looking at here from a russian strike on kyiv last week the airstrike hit a residential building in the city and killing four people, leaving 38 others injured. ukrainian group says moscow use the so-called zircon missile, which is believed to fly eight to nine times faster than the speed of sound experts say the weapon can evade even the best of western anti-matter missile defenses new us intelligence about russia's abilities to deploy a nuclear anti-satellite system in space, had capitol
1:15 am
hill buzzing on wednesday, the upper all started when house intelligence committee chairman mike turner announced what he called a serious national security threat. turner also urged the president to declassify the intelligence. but several members of congress briefed on the matter, say the intelligence is concerning, but it doesn't pose an immediate threat to the us or its interests cnn's jim sciutto has these details from washington this is what we know at this hour. it's new us intelligence, it's about a new russian military capability >> specifically an anti-satellite capability with a nuclear components. so the idea to target us are partner satellites in space, including surveillance satellites, nuclear or early warning satellites. it's with a nuclear component, which of course would expand the ability to destroy those capabilities in space considered serious enough that the us shared it with its five eyes partners, its closest intel partners,
1:16 am
including the uk, canada et cetera. i should note this as well, and i've spoken to three people who are ready in on this latest intelligence, including two lawmakers. and they told me, one, this is not a clear and present danger. this is something that russia is experimenting with looking into designing. it is not currently deployed and not considered something that will soon be deployed. that's key second of all, they've all said to me that this is highly sensitive intelligence, including the sourcing involved. so they were surprised that you have a member of congress that was going so public with this at this time. so that's very important, as you said, it was mike turner who started with something kind of cryptic about a new threat to the us. and it was reporters two dugin to figure out exactly what he was talking about. but then later in the day you saw even one of his republican colleagues, the speaker mike johnson, saying in his words, there is no cause for alarm right now. so it's serious serious enough that they're sharing with their partners, but not one that is considered a serious threat to

1:24 am
the french president saying that it could actually be a violation of international humanitarian law. there's been a statement as well written by the leaders of canada, australia, and new zealand together saying they should not happen. i'll read part of it for you. it says quote, we are gravely concerned by indications that israel is planning a ground offensive into rafah an immediate humanitarian ceasefire is urgently needed. hostages must be released. the need for humanitarian assistance in gaza has never been greater. rapid safe, and unimpeded humanitarian relief must be provided to civilians. now we're hearing a very similar sentiments from many of the ngos as well, some criticizing what is happening at the moment at the nasa, nasa complex, pointing out it isn't impossible decision for many who are sheltering there when that to leave as they have been ordered by the israeli military. but as you have just mentioned, there have been some
1:25 am
that have come under fire. we have heard from eyewitnesses, from israeli snipers. so an increasingly desperate situation and then more so for the 1.3 million palestinians in rafah at this point the vast majority of them in sprawling tent cities, food, water shelter is it's certainly not at the levels it should be. we are hearing consistently. but the question for many of them now is do they try and leave and go to other areas where there is fighting still ongoing or do they wait to the what will happen? so it is a very desperate situation. we've heard from the un he, for example, on wednesday saying that if israel were to carry out this wrapper offensive it would lead to a slaughter. so there is very strong and emotive words and warnings that being used. but at a time when we still hear the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu saying that he will take powerful action in rafah after

1:34 am
mediterranean country, a more traditional country than most in europe, in many ways. and this is where we've been seeing in polls so far in people's response to the issue. so while the majority have said yes to same-sex marriage, basically, a step up from civil partnerships that buoys had approved ten years ago. there's a long >> a lot of debates on what to do about parenthood, but what to do about abortion. these these are all issues that have been part of this legislation. and if we understand that if this bill does go through, it will allow same-sex couples to adopt. it will give them full parenthood right? this is something that the greek orthodox church in a country that's predominantly christian, it's over 80% christian has been posing very strongly. there have been demonstrations in relations to the is in relation to this. both the clergy, members of the public have come very much all around where i am now just hearing
