2:02 am
that trump is a threat to democracy, isn't resonating with one key group and haiti is in chaos as gang violence wreaks havoc on the island nation how the state department is coordinating evacuation flights for us citizens trapped there >> live from atlanta this is cnn newsroom with kim brunhuber >> russia says more than 60% of its voters have already cast their ballots in a presidential election. that's in its third and final day. now the outcome is expected to be a landslide victory for president vladimir putin. he faces no real challenge. juror, partly because many opposition leaders are dead, jailed, exiled, or banned from running. but some average russians are still fighting back. prosecutors have open 15 cases against people who reportedly stayed small acts of protest at polling stations. but as russians vote
2:03 am
the defense ministry says three dozen ukrainian drones were launched against the country overnight. moscow says two people are dead, and this refinery in southwestern russia caught fire. meanwhile, we're waiting for more possible pushback against the kremlin at polling stations. >> we yulia >> navalnaya, naval yana, the widow of opposition leader alexey navalny, urged voters to show up in droves at noon, which is the current time in moscow. she asked them to do anything they want with their ballots, except vote for putin. she's hoping the optics would send a message of defiance to the kremlin i want to go down to london where clare sebastian is standing by. clear. these acts of defiance, i guess we're slated to start now, so it may be too soon to know what exactly is happening, but take us through what we've seen so far and how it's sort of challenging the narrative that putin wants to create. hey >> yeah, kim is now as you say,
2:04 am
noon in moscow, but the navalny team has been running a live stream and monitoring events in the eastern regions of russia where they've already past noon. and so far what we've seen. i don't think you could classify necessarily actual demonstrations. people simply lining up outside polling booths, which in a sense is what you didn't have asked them to do and obviously we don't know for sure what everyone put on their ballots, but we are of course, monitoring the situation and moscow more significant so far there have been these acts of defiance that we've seen at polling stations. some 29 polling stations have been affected around 200 or so ballot boxes destroyed. we've seen incidents and people pouring green dye into a ballot boxes. other cases of alleged austin were fires have resided in polling stations. this does reflect i think although it is a relatively small number, of course, in a country of 140 million people that undercurrent of frustration striation, of dissatisfaction with the putin regime that we saw in the lead up to this election with support for an
2:05 am
anti-war candidate, it was withdrawn from the ballot to and the outpouring that we saw in the attendance and alexey navalny's funeral, just a few weeks ago. so we are seeing elements of this. you have to remember that in russia, the climate of repression has been increasing even in recent months. we've seen an uptick since the start of the war. there are serious legal consequences for protests. most protests are illegal without pre agreement from the authorities and certainly they don't have that here. so this is the situation that we're dealing with. but of course we are monitoring what will be happening at polling stations now that we're in the moscow times zone, when it comes to that noon call to action. >> all right. well, we'll keep >> monitoring that as you say, million time ukraine's reaction to what they're calling the pseudo elections. what are they saying? >> ukraine is urging residents of the regions of its country that are occupied by russia not to take part in these
2:06 am
elections, calling them and eagles saying that anyone seem to be helping will be seen as collaborating and good faith consequences. the real fear is that this is what we've seen russia do when it occupies territory. we have, we have a template for that with crimea, where holding elections, getting people to take russian passports, bringing in russian institutions that turns what should be a temporary occupation, certainly in the eyes of ukraine, into something more permanent and irreversible and allows russia to consolidate his power in those regions. so ukraine trying to get the message to his people not to be part of this and of course, we are also seeing in the lead up to these elections, a, an increase of russian, of ukrainian are alleged ukrainian attacks inside russian soil. we've seen, as you say, some three dozen drones. russia says that ukraine fired at it overnight. there's been another attack in an oil refinery. we've seen a spate of attacks on oil refineries in recent weeks as ukraine try to bring the war home, both to the military element of this, we
2:07 am
know that russia makes most of its money, of course, from its oil and gas, but also to civilian life as well. i'm getting the message to the russian people that this war is not something that they are insulated from as they you to vote in these elections kim, i appreciate that, clare sebastian. thank you so much former us president donald trump is on the campaign trail after securing the republican party's presidential nomination, he was in ohio on saturday days before the state's primary on tuesday. you once again repeated his promise to free those charged with crimes related to the january 6, 2021 attacks on the us capitol, even referring to them this hostages. listen to us >> june you see this spirit from the hostages and that's what they are as hostages. they'd been treated terribly and very unfairly. and, you know that and everybody knows that and we're going to be working on that suit as the first day we get into office,
2:08 am
we're going to save our country. we're going to work with the people to treat those unbelievable patriots. and they were unbelievable patriot from >> also repeated false claims that a president biden is behind his legal problems. and once again, praised hungary's authoritarian prime minister viktor orban, but he didn't discuss his former vice president mike pence, who said on friday that he cannot, in good conscience, endorse his former boss. now at that ohio rally, trump also made a shocking comment about the possible consequences if he loses in november. cnn's alayna treene has details well, former president donald trump gave his first formal speech here in ohio or after he secured enough delegates earlier in >> the week to effectively declare him the republican presidential nominee. but look, donald trump's visit to ohio was not necessarily to boot who's his own candice desi both donald trump and his team believed that he will do very well in this state in november.
2:09 am
instead, he was here to boost his endorsed candidate for the ohio senate primary. and that's businessman bernie moreno. moreno is locked in a messy, contested three-way primary and donald trump really came to the state the hopes of giving him that last minute a boost and more support ahead of that race on tuesday. but even though donald trump was here to talk about the ohio senate, primary, much of his speech focused on the general election. he attacked joe biden and blamed him for what he argued were the many charges that he is facing and heal it's also offered a new line that i've yet to hear yet on the campaign trail, and that is essentially that he argued if you were to not win reelection in november, that there would be a bloodbath in this country take a listen to how he put it. >> we're gonna put a 100% tariff on every single car that comes across the line. >> and >> your dr. to be able to sell those guys. if i get elected now, if i don't get elected, it's going to be a bloodbath for the whole that's gonna be the least of it. it's going to
2:10 am
be a bloodbath for the country that'll be the least of it. >> now those comments came as donald trump, once again, argue that he wanted to free those imprisoned for their role on january 6, he referred to those convicted as hostages and favorable term that we've heard him use time and again on the campaign trail, he argued that it was a day one priority for him if he were to reclaim the white house in november alayna treene, cnn, van ohio >> the trump campaign later sought to clarify his comments, saying he was specifically talking about an economic bloodbath for the auto industry and auto workers when he said there would be a bloodbath if he loses a president biden's campaign was already slamming trump's comment in a statement, biden's campaign spokesperson said, trump quote, wants another january 6, what the american people are going to give him another electoral defeat. this november, because they continue to reject his extremism, his affection for violence, in his thirst for revenge your mom present biden
2:11 am
is coping african american voters and important democratic voting base. he recently spoke to the black information network in that interview will be coming out in the coming hours. now a comes as a recent new york times sienna college poll found that 66% of black voters are leaning towards biden compared to 23% for trump. that's nearly 20% decrease for biden from 2020, and a near doubling for trump. >> recent >> reuters ipsos poll found that 37% of black voters say they are voting to stop trump versus 65% of white voters. all right, one row is clifford albright, co-founder and executive director of black votes matter. thank you so much for being here with us. so listen, you can argue with individual polls, but it's hard to question the trend and that seems to suggest wasn't buying is bleeding support from the african american community now it's more noticeable with black men particularly, but it is overall as well. what do you think is behind it
2:12 am
>> yeah. good morning. thanks for having me. i think, you know, as you said, different calls, they different things you know, there's other calls that are selling including 1 coordinate without so recently, did that says percentage of those black hole is looking support. trump is closer to 11 or 12%. when we talk about the trends though, the reality is that at about this point in the election cycle in 2020, joe biden's approval ratings are favorable ratings in the black community at that time, we're close it's around 76%. and so he's really at about where he was and in 20-20, look, that said, obviously you've got a lot of stories and some anecdotes about black men in particular that are leaning towards trump. but i just got to say, it just doesn't match what we're seeing in the community when we're outdoing doing our work that's what we're what we're seeing are here. and it's not matching the way that black men or black voters in general have been voting in recent election
2:13 am
cycles. look good georgia or kentucky, or even ohio and the abortion referendum >> yeah. >> some of the arguments that have >> been made are that it might not necessarily be that they they have a lot of passion for biden, and they might not come out, but then, but then we're seeing something else and that's a significant number of people who said in recent polls that they would actually vote for trump 13%, 17% around those numbers depending on the pole, which is obviously a lot higher than the 8% he got in 2020. so that means that since then, black voters have looked at trump, listened to his message and says, yeah, you know, he's he's the man for me despite the many statements he's made that have been widely described as racist against black people. >> yeah. i mean, again, it just doesn't match what we're seeing and hearing. i think that there's a difference between, you know, as you say, that people saying at this 0.8 months out, oh, yeah, i'm thinking about only two trump,
2:14 am
right? or or even saying that in a poll, and the way that we actually vote, it is not all that unlikely or unfamiliar that there are people that have stated their thinking about holding for trump. but we just don't come out and do that. we heard the same thing in georgia with the 22 senate race where everybody thought that black men were going to swarm over to vote for herschel walker because he is such a popular football here probably be georgia. >> and it just didn't happen. you, i think it's interesting in recent polls does specter of trump is not enough to get black voters to vote for biden clearly not enough worth saving >> democracy is not enough when we feel like we've never had democracy. but if you look at the same what you see is that black voters are more likely to say that they support president biden because of his policies as opposed to the specter of trump. >> yeah. i'm curious about that because that remains a
2:15 am
cornerstone of president biden's messaging. is that trump? paul? opposes this threat to democracy and he, you know, he hammers that again and again. so polls have showed that, especially with african american voters, that doesn't seem to resonate. you seem to suggest it's because black people think that democracy was flawed. anyway, is that yeah. >> i mean that the threat of trump, i mean two things. one, because of our experience with this democracy has been, and it has always been flawed. so that's part of it. the other part is that people like bonus, particular saying, we've been through that, we've heard that before. we noted use that and all that, but a lot of stuff that he tried to do those last term was stopped. i'm not saying that the second term would be the same way by any means, but that's what a lot of black folks feel like. but what we are more concerned about, the president's policies. and so, so far the messaging is largely been about trump and his threats to democracy. but i
2:16 am
think that if you look at some of the more recent materials, especially after the state of the union where president biden and his campaign are starting to focus more on those policies, focus more on the onlys infrastructure projects that republicans have tried to take credit for and now i'm doing the same thing that trump de, which is basically putting his face and name on some of those projects. i think some of the policies are now about to get more messaging. and as you see that happening, then you'll start to see some of the, some of the favorite and someone holding starring and shift but that process is only just now getting started. >> all right. >> so what i'm taking from this so far is that poles are kind of an illusion. they don't match what's happening on the ground, but we're seeing from the actual votes from year to year, we have seen a drift from the democratic party, not just with african-americans, latino voters as well. a could it be that this represents a more general trend that it's not actually present biden, that the racial minorities in
2:17 am
america are just slowly voting more and more like other racial groups yeah. >> there was a research that was put out the past week or so they said that there's this realignments i can place that non-white voters voting increasingly republican over the past 2030 years. the reality is, i think you just hit on it, right? as you look at the quote, unquote non-white voters of color clare >> what's >> happened more so than, than black voters shifting is that the composition of the non-white electorate has changed, where you have more latino voters are some apis and american voters, but the composition of what that electorate looks like has shifted, and latino voters are are less likely to vote heavily democratic, as, let's those as a bit so much that black voters have been shifting has been that there's been a shift in the composition of landmines. but as you said, latino voters in asian american voters have always voted at a lower
2:18 am
percentage. that black voters for democratic party, not at 90%, but maybe it's like 70 5% or 70% >> and so that shift >> is changing the total numbers. but if you look at it over the past 30 years, the blindfold is really been remarkably consistent. >> always >> somewhere between 80%. >> and of >> course, the obama highs what 96%. >> all right, well, we will see whether you're right and a bunch are so clifford. all right. thank you so much for being with us. really appreciate it. >> thank you. >> all right. turning now to the state of new jersey, which saw an hours-long armed standoff saturday with the suspect in a triple homicide case 26 year-old andre gordon was apprehended not far from a home that authorities thought he was barricaded inside. his alleged to have killed three women saturday morning in pennsylvania, just north of philadelphia. police claim he killed his stepmother and sister before driving to another home where he allegedly shot and killed the mother of his two children. authorities say he then carjacked a vehicle

2:27 am
strip was in the state that it's in now following all these months of war. so more aid is required to go in and although these airdrops and even ships are helping they are still relatively speaking, a drop in the ocean compared with what is actually needed. and as part of these truce talks that are due to resume, this week, there is going to be the hope that more aid will be able to go into the gaza strip if that truce comes about, kim. >> okay. well, let let's turn there then these hostage and ceasefire talks, as you say, expected to resume on monday. so take us through where things stand right now and what we're expecting so right now where things stand is that there is an israeli war cabinet meeting due to take place at 10:00 a.m. eastern time, about 90 minutes >> later, a full cabinet meeting where they're going to decide upon the position that israel is going to take at these truce negotiations, which are due to resume this week in doha in qatar. and it's david barnea, their head israel's foreign intelligence service, the mossad, who again will be

2:33 am
essentially what this has become here in port-au-prince, just to survive. and this is one community that we're in that feels rather safe. and that's just because several blocks out, you've got perimeter after perimeter that is set up by the community and works with the police to the police essentially allow the community to do what they need to do that setup these blocks entries and exits and the community in turn helps empower the police so that they can then do their patrols. but for many of them, it's about setting these up to block what is not far from here, and that is an expanding gang territory, one that has been trying to encroach on this community. in particular, many times over the past year or so >> and it got to a >> point where community members, according to one police commander, had to take justice into their own hands. and they were able to take into custody 14 suspected gang members. they then executed
2:34 am
those gang members, right in the middle of the street. there was a very public display, but for them it was to send a message to other gang members keep out of their community it hasn't stopped the gangs from trying to push further and further in. but for the folks who live here it's everyday life has gotten increasingly difficult we see a few street vendors but not many, and we are here three weeks ago. many of the sidewalks were filled with street vendors folks now simply don't have things to sell and so they've resorted to trying to secure as best as possible using the police's helped. some of the supply lives trying to bring water and food into areas like this i asked some of the community members, how is it that they're able to stay afloat? and he said, we rely on each other. essentially, they will have some of these community members go door to door collecting food, maybe some money, some water, and then that provides some substance. for the folks
2:35 am
who are securing these communities. if you ask, who's in charge? >> then look around and they >> say no one. >> that's why >> they've taken matters into their own hands. you ask, what do you need? what can help haiti in this moment? the first thing that most folks have told us is for the international community to not intervene in the way they have in the past. instead, they want help in the form of aid they also say that they need some sort of security backup. what that looks like >> they didn't really articulate, folks really didn't want to go into too much detail in trying to explain what that added security might come in the form of but for most here it's just about trying to figure out how to get to tomorrow and knowing but tonight could bring another round of violence david culver, cnn, port-au-prince, haiti

>> so as the unrest continues in haiti, concerns are growing in florida about a possible influx of haitian refugees former governor ron desantis says the federal government isn't doing enough to prevent that from happening. and these acting on his own ends, rafael romo house the latest governor, ron desantis announced friday that he's boosting law enforcement and florida by increasing the number of officers and agents. the goal is helping federal officials deal with a potential increase in the number of migrants trying to get to the united states through florida as the unrest continues to grow in haiti, desantis said he's beefing up agencies like the florida department of law enforcement, as well as fish and wildlife. according to the governor, as part of this new directive, he has increased the national guard by 40 the aid guardsman, the florida state guard by up to 133 soldiers and the florida highway patrol by 30 additional officers in addition to equipment and aircraft, like four more helicopters to be used by the

>> marijuana reform. >> right now, cannabis is listed as a schedule one controlled substance, meaning the us government says it has no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse the biden restoration is reviewing that classification right now, on friday, vice president kamala harris held a roundtable discussion on the issue. she was joined by musicians, us officials, and people who have received pardons for a marijuana convictions. harris told them what she thinks about how the federal government treats the drug and its users here fuse this issue is, is stark when one considers the fact that on the schedule currently, >> marijuana is considered as dangerous as heroin marijuana is considered as dangerous as heroin and more dangerous than fentanyl which is observed not to mention patently unfair in recent years, american support for legal marijuana has

2:44 am
really dealing with half-steps, half measures by calling for rescheduling to schedule three, as opposed to complete d scheduling and allowing states to set their own cannabis policies. and certainly the president's position relative to pardons for individuals who have simple possession, simple federal possession convictions for cannabis as welcome, but practically speaking, the vast majority of possession convictions are at the state level. so while i certainly welcome the administration's change in position, i would submit that we need the president to go further. if this is something that he wants to have motivate young voters and motivate voters in general to turn out in support his reelection campaign get to that. do you think it will actually motivate americans? you highlighted especially the younger ones to actually come out and vote for democrats
2:45 am
right now, if all the president is offering is rescheduling the schedule three, i don't know that that's really going to resonate with younger voters. i think that younger voters want to hear a more, a stronger message from the administration, a more firm commitment two, de scheduling to allow him to states to set their own policies, and to be completely honest with you, i'm somewhat surprised and have been for years that this isn't an issue that conservatives and republicans tried to steal from democrats because to me, cannabis reform and legalization is something that should appeal to conservatives and does appeal to conservative voters qatar's maybe not so much conservative politicians because it calls for individual liberty, individual responsibility, business development, and limiting government interference and people's day-to-day lives. but here to four, it has remained an issue that seems to be on the left
