1:02 am
than 100 people have been hospitalized. a russian state media reporter who witnessed the attacks as the gunman shot people at point blank range. he also says they threw incendiary bombs two men whose wives were inside the venue say they're waiting to hear if their loved ones are okay >> on the issue when i'm in complete panic, my whole body hurts, even my heart, blood pressure rose and all that. i don't know what to do complete hopelessness i'm scared. i try not to >> panic, to control >> myself, to think soberly. i do know what to do we're standing here just waiting in the aftermath of the attack, part of the concert hall was engulfed and fire and surrounded by emergency crews moscow's governor says the fire has been mostly limited mandated. cnn's ivan watson has covered russia extensively. any joins us now live from hong kong. first, ivan, bring us up to speed on the latest right? >> well, when the sun rose this
1:03 am
morning, just outside of moscow, where this crocus city hall concert venue is the building was still smoking surrounded by a rescue workers, the authorities saying that there's still going through the rubble and that part of the ceiling, the roof had collapsed due to the flames the casualty t numbers are massive, were talking about at least 60 people killed, more than 100 people remaining in hospital. there were desperate pleas from city officials for blood donations saying that this was a life and death issue for dozens of victims as for what it was like in so i during this deadly attack, it sounds absolutely horrifying. listened to one survivor are sitting in the hall upstairs where the balconies were. we heard gunshots. at first, we didn't understand what had happened. then i personally saw how the terrorists came in, started shooting everyone in the end threw a molotov. everything was set on fire. we were led to the
1:04 am
exit, turned out the exit was locked. we ran all over crocus city trying to find the exit, but to no avail we went into the basement of crocus city hall and waiting for the emergency services and got out just it was now the russian authorities that moscow city government authorities, they have canceled public events for the rest of the >> weekend in moscow, the band that was performing picnic has said that none of its members were hurt. they had not yet gone on stage when this attack was launched and the lead singer shop a man has come out with a statement saying he would pay for the funerals of the dead and for the treatment of the many dozens of people are more than 100 people who were wounded the organization, isis, the islamic state, purportedly as claimed responsibility for this deadly attack. the deadliest in years in moscow on an isis affiliated social media account we have yet to hear from the russian president himself now, more
1:05 am
than 14 hours since this attack took place, kim. >> all right. ivan, the russian response to this take us through that. what are we hearing from putin, if anything? thank >> well, i mean, his spokesman has come out and said that vladimir putin himself is across this and is in charge of the event and is expressed condolences to victims. but again, we have not seen vladimir putin himself the questions about isis involvement here may come as a surprise. hi, it's just some viewers because so much of the narrative around russia and national security has been dominated for more than two years now by russia's full-scale invasion of ukraine and the ongoing loss of life. there. but in fact, just this month alone, russian state media reported of at least four counts hunter terror operations carried out by russian security services targeting suspected isis militants this month alone, including a purportedly
1:06 am
spoiling a plan to attack a synagogue in moscow that was allegedly going to be carried out by isis. meanwhile, the us to embassy in moscow on march 7 it published a statement warning us citizens to stay away from large gatherings to stay away from even concerts, saying that there had been intelligence about possible extremist attacks in the moscow area earlier this week, on tuesday. in fact, russian president vladimir putin fresh from declaring himself the victor of russia's recent presidential election, which have been much criticized in many circles >> he >> basically downplayed and rejected those warnings coming from the us government said that this was a provocation aimed at a de-stabilizing russia. so a big question is going to be, how will the kramer crumbling frame this the
1:07 am
aftermath of this terrible attack who are the suspects who could have been behind this? >> all right, thanks so much. i've been watson in hong kong. appreciate that >> world leaders are reacting to the attack french president madman and mcconnell says he strongly condemns the terrorist attack, the united nations security council, issued a statement expressing their deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims and the russian people white house, national security spokesperson john kirby says, resin, joe biden is being kept updated on the attack and he says, quote, our thoughts and prayers are to all those innocent people who are affected by this the ukrainian presidential adviser says his country has nothing to do with the attack. he also says he believes the terror attack will contribute to expanded mobilization and ultimately the scaling up of the war against ukraine now, as we just reported, the us said warn russia that it had intelligence pointing to a planned terrorist attack in moscow, even going as far to say, the attack could
1:08 am
target large gatherings, including concerts sources say there has been a steady stream of intelligence since november indicating that isis affiliate ices k, was determined to attack it in russia when vladimir putin dismissed the warnings in a speech on tuesday night, when you're done, when you're pretty much schedule provocative. >> i should also remind you of the recent to put it bluntly provocative statements by a number of official western structures about the possibility of terrorist attacks and russia, all this resembles blatant black male and the intention to so fear and destabilize our society >> and joining us now is david harrison horn and editor at the washington post covering russia, ukraine, and eastern europe. he's also the author of the dissident alexey navalny profile of a political prisoner thank you so much for being here with us. so david, let's start there with those it's warnings from the us that russia brushed off putin did so publicly or are you surprised russia would be so dismissive instead of acting on it, putin,
1:09 am
putin politicize it well, it really is remarkable and putin will likely face some scrutiny about this. he was so dismissive, suggesting that this was blackmail, extortion by western structures as he put it an effort to destabilise russian society. and it's actually a reminder, it's hard through the fog of this war in ukraine that's going on. and the really soured relations between russia and the west. to remember that at one point, there was a real possibility that russia and the united states, russia and the west would be partners against true enemies like isis, terror groups that we're attacking societies around the world that presented a real threat now, clearly his thinking is so completely dominated it would bind the war in ukraine and we saw senior russian officials, former president dmitry menn of inventive among others immediately suggests the key and was responsible. ukraine quickly denied that it had anything to do with the crocus city hall attack. us intelligence saying embarrass the signature of when is a
1:10 am
style attack. i just claiming responsibility. so there will be real questions as you heard days after putin claimed a landslide affirmation for a new six-year term, that's something this dangerous and deadly. more than 60 people dead has happened in his country in capital >> yeah, so, so the attack itself, what do you make of it in the way it was carried out? >> well it was. absolutely brutal and inhuman. and of course, we should all condemn this on a friday night, anyone who's lived in moscow knows crocus city hall is very popular venue. also notorious for being where donald trump attended the ms universe pageant in 2013. but there are regular for concerts, regular events, crowds of people, certainly this would have been true on a friday night as we saw, just absolutely inhuman that we've seen the videos, these gunman in camouflage coming in shooting their way in and setting the place on fire now, as we reported, isis is
1:11 am
claiming responsibility for this why would they target russia and why now >> but russia has a number of enemies going back years, you have to remember russia's presence in syria, russia's actions in chechnya where it too brutal wars to suppress islamic separated just continuing battles with islamic forces. in many cases interestingly, putin had opened his borders to send russians who wanted to fight on the side of isis. so that effectively they would, they would die there rather than be in russia as a potential destabilizing force. now you also heard the russian security services just in the last weeks, even as putin himself may have dismissed this warning from the united states government, the russian security services said they had thwarted at least two attacks in kaluga where they said isis was prepared to attack a chemical plant. and then at a synagogue, where are the same cell apparently was planning an attack on a synagogue and they thwarted this. so russia itself
1:12 am
understood and knew the threat than fact isis was active in the country. how seriously that was taken at the highest levels in the kremlin remains to be seen we heard ukraine say this might result in more mobilization from russia. what kind of response do you think we can expect from russia >> well, there's no question. putin deals extremely harshly in these kinds of situations. if these perpetrators are found, they may well be killed on the spot. if not, there will be persecuted the fullest extent. but the reaction by some officials close to putin in immediately suggesting that this was ukraine. medvedev, the former president and prime minister who had swap jobs with putin immediately suggesting that it could have been the kyiv regime also a oligarch go orthodox christian, all or constantine melas even suggested a nuclear strike in response. this is how quickly and how rationally some folks have responded to this terror attack that seems to be unrelated to the war in ukraine. >> all right, and the russian election, i mean, just basically days ago. do you
1:13 am
think this undermines putins aura of authority? >> well, certainly in the run-up to that election, one thing that we saw that was connected to the war in ukraine. where russian malicious, these are anti-kremlin. russians who are mounting cross-border attacks in the belgorod region. my colleague at the washington post, francesca abl was there recording on this drone strikes and others hoping to illustrate two russians ahead of this vote, which we know is heavily managed and not free or fair that putin cannot protect and secure his own country, that the war is making. the more dangerous and deadly for russian citizens. so that line, this attack, that this could be carried out right on the outskirts of moscow, again, at a very popular venue on a friday night innocent russians being attacked in this way. certainly there will be questions now whether those questions will be asked openly, given putin's authoritarian grip, he has really tightened as there is no opposition left
1:14 am
in russia. there are very few people who are willing to question any of his decisions any of his instincts. that's a real uncertainty there about whether there would be any blowback and repercussions. >> yeah. interesting to see how putin will deal with this. david of horn will have to leave it there really appreciate your analysis. thank you so much. >> thank you >> all political drama wasn't in short supply in washington where a partial us government shutdown was averted about two hours ago. that's when the senate passed a package of spending bills to keep the government fully up and running the legislation will now be headed to president joe biden, who will sign it into law later today, according to a white house the official, but as melanie zanona reports, it took some last-minute wheeling and dealing in the senate to get that done >> well, a deal has been reached to avoid a government shutdown the house earlier on friday, passed a massive spending package that would fund the remaining six government agencies that have yet to be funded. >> and then sent it over to the senate. but over in the senate,
1:15 am
it requires cooperation from every single senator in order to be able to move quickly on bills. and republicans were refusing to give their consent unless they got there desired amendment votes. so that led to a standoff between democrats and republicans for hours. they went back and forth, but they finally came to an agreement just minutes before the midnight deadline. it has been such a tortured process to get to this point because congress was supposed to have funded the government back in october. but instead they kicked the can down the road. they passed temporary patch after for a patch and they finally released a massive government funding package at three in the morning on thursday, leaving then solves the whole lot of time to let lawmakers read the bill and get them through both chambers. so this has been a long and tortured process. there's been a lot of drama over the last few months but it looks like congress is finally on track to avoid a government shutdown and put this funding saga behind them melanie's now and a
1:16 am

1:22 am
us time to explain everything to george, charlotte and louis in a way that's appropriate for them. and to reassure them that i'm going to be okay >> well, wishes have been pouring in from near and far her father-in-law, king, charles, said, he is caught so proud for her courage in speaking as she did. the us president said on social media that he and the first lady joined others in praying for a full recovery. the british prime minister the code those sentiments and also hailed her, quote, tremendous bravery more we're joined now by cnn's nada bashir in london outside buckingham palace. so not a how are people they're reacting to this news? >> welcome that suddenly been an outpouring of concern of sympathy. and of course support for the princess of wales. there has been a lot of speculation. it has to be said over the last few weeks, over the condition of the princess of wales, given that we were told that she had undergone on abdominal surgery back in january. and of course, there
1:23 am
has been intense media scrutiny over the whereabouts of the princess of wales, even if he hasn't been engaged in public nick appearances over the last few weeks, of course, this announcement has come as a shock. the princess of wales herself said it had come as a shock to herself and her family members and loved ones, of course, that she is now taking the time to focus on healing, putting her health first, and of course has asked for privacy during this time but as you can imagine, there is an extreme amount of attention on her condition. we have seen that outpouring of support from officials here in the united kingdom. and of course, across the global also from members of the british public as well. take a listen >> row, obviously, like i'm just completely shocked and it was just crazy that like i was actually like right in front of buckingham palace when i found out and it's just it's just shocking considering like king charles has already, it's just diagnosis cancer and it's just, and then although rumors, speculations about kate and lift finally, we know what happened and it's just complete shot.
1:24 am
>> obviously, it will be a big disruption to the probably her operations and williams family and williams duties and yeah, i can imagine it would have a big effect on what they do and how they do it >> now, of course, while the princess of wales ignores, this was a huge shock to her and her family. she was has to be said, upbeat, positive in her messaging to the brush but lake yesterday, she was very clear that she feels that she will make a full recovery and is hopeful that that will be the case. and of course, this was an interesting moment for the present as well as to give such an intimate, personal message. and of course, to reveal such a private matter is somewhat of an unprecedented step for such a senior member of the royal family of course important to remember that this comes just weeks after the buckingham palace confirm that king charles the third, that was also diagnosed with cancer. but again, a very personal inter message from the princess of wales. and of course, a plea for privacy during a time when the world family has come under increased scrutiny from the
1:25 am
media >> not able shear in london thanks so much >> weeks, >> if not months of speculation about the princesses condition are now being replaced, as we said, with an outpouring of support across the united kingdom and around the world. conspiracy theories fill the void left by the absence of information. but now after news of catherine's diagnosis, world leaders and people everywhere are expressing their concern in calling on others to respect her privacy during her road to recovery i'm doing now by cnn's royal commentator, emily nash in london. emily, thanks for being here with us so many people suspected there might be some kind of health issue. how shocked were you by this revelation? >> well, we all knew that he was dealing with something very significant given the amount of time of her recovery was slated for three months is a long time for any kind of surgery. but no one was expecting this cancer diagnosis and if it came as a shock to william kate, then you
1:26 am
can imagine for the rest of the world, who unfortunately have been coming up with all sorts of lyric speculation about what may have been going on behind the scenes. i think this has been quite a sobering piece of news the timing of the announcement and how it was announced like this >> the timing i think you look no further than the end of the school. i think that what is very admirable about the way that they handled this is that they've absolutely put a prince george princess charlotte, and prince it's louis at the forefront of their minds in planning less announcement. they wanted to give the children time to come to terms it to process and use themselves before sharing it more widely. but doing it yesterday enabled them to whisk the children away from school away for the easter holidays and a from an environment where all the children in the playground, other parents are reacting this whole media
1:27 am
frenzy, obviously in the light of this, this big news is something that they can now entirely be shielded from. >> yeah, you touched on the lyric speculation. i mean, with all of the tabloid coverage herridge the conspiracy theories allegations, and so on, how much of a blowback well, there'll be against the british press, the tabloids >> well, i think it's interesting to note that in this incidence, the brushes press has been very respectful of the dutch, the princess's privacy it's interesting to note that in the days of diana princess of wales, paparazzi tabloid media, absolutely were at the forefront of the personal stories about her in this day and age. it's been replaced by social media. and the loss of the worst things that we've seen have been coming from people on tiktok, on instagram, on various panels. perhaps just broadcasting from a bedroom somewhere at the other side of the world and actually making money out of it. and i think
1:28 am
how do you police that situation? the uk press is quite tightly regulated and of course, medical privacy very much applies to everyone in the uk yeah, interesting distinction there. all right, so two of the senior royals, the king, the princess, both undergoing cancer treatments for the royal family in terms of carrying on with public events and other duties. what does this mean? >> look at the royal family is very depleted in numbers. it goes without saying the moment and those who are fit and well are going to be have are going to have to be putting in an extra shift at the moment to help keep up appearances. we saw just this week, the princess royal the ducts of edinburgh stepping in on behalf of the king had and engage i expect that that will continue but the royal family has to be seen to be believed as we found out this, this last few months. in particular. and i think that it's very important that keeping the king as visible as possible at the moment to maintain some kind of stability.
1:29 am
>> finally the royal family itself is somewhat fractured. do you expect this to bring them closer together >> the case to say, i think certainly we've had a message of support from carrying meghan they're are some reports today thing that they'd been in touch privately with a couple. i imagine that would be the case. something like this. of course, focuses minds on repairing relationships and then bygones be bygones i'm sure we all like see some kind of reconciliation there because any family going through this needs as much support as they possibly can get >> yeah, absolutely. right. we'll leave it there, emily nash. thank you so much. appreciate it. >> thank >> russia, it takes aim at ukraine's largest dam as it launches a massive attack on its power grid >> so, have >> you'll hear from people who
