springfield, missouri, the way it turns here in this area, especially in the red and the yellow, that's where we can find the intense tornadoes hail up to the size of even grapefruits possible and damaging wind gusts up to 80 plus miles per hour. this is the bullseye for the tornado threat that i mentioned again, the strong and violent ef2 or greater for tornadoes really centered there in oklahoma city then as we go into the overnight, this will start to turn into a damaging wind threat as you go into parts of missouri where we could find these winds up to 80 miles per hour. that's why the threat was extended into southwest missouri on the overnight. so let me show you how this plays out. you see all of these little discrete cells. those are the strong violent tornadoes across parts kansas there in oklahoma. >> then you can see them continuing again 10:00 p.m. that would be while you're sleeping discrete cells with violent tornadoes. >> then here comes that when part you see how they start to come into a line that's where you get the threat of damaging winds across parts of southwest missouri. it continues going into the morning hours into the

3:05 pm
some chaos unfolded at the convention last night what more can you tell us? set the stage jessica, there are deep divisions within the libertarian party over this decision to give donald trump a platform to speak at their convention. >> several people have been voicing displeasure all throughout the day to us. in fact, yesterday, vivek ramaswamy for former presidential candidate turn trump supporter. he had a taste of what this crowd thought of when he tried to make the case for them to consider donald trump. take a listen to the reaction i have gotten to know donald trump over the course of the last several years. and the last several months. >> and you're gonna hear from him tomorrow night. and the question is, do you want to influence the next administration or don't do? that is the question for this room to ask. and my thesis for you you believe in you all get to speak your mind. i respect that those were booze you heard
3:06 pm
in from the audience and what their concern is is that they intend to nominate their own candidate who will be going up against trump. >> and this election. so they're wondering why is trump allowed to speak to our are voting? jurors in our attendees while but trump is trying to get in favor with these with these audience here and in his pitch is basically look, we have a chance of winning. we need your help and his for him for his team's part they understand this is not a hometown crowd. hit the spokesperson for the campaign, jason miller told arcade solvent earlier today, we're on offense and competing for non-traditional votes in order to unite the country. jessica and seat before we let you go, we also know that trump is now facing a new gag order requests. this one is from the special counsel in the classified documents case. that's the one down in florida. what do we know about that? >> right. this is separate from the hush money trial. this is a gag or unrelated to trump recently asserting that his life might have been at risk during the raid on mar-a-lago
3:07 pm
in 2022. this is because the warrant included a requests for they'll tell allow officers to use deadly force. now this is boilerplate language in one of these warrants. and so the fbi is basically saying that this is standard operating procedure on our part, but trump has been using it to criticize the fbi special prosecutor's office now saying that they want trump to no longer be able to attack the officers in the law enforcement agency that just didn't their job. >> all right. steve contorno forest in washington, dc. >> thanks so much for that reporting president biden paying tribute to the newest graduates of the us military academy on this memorial day weekend, he delivered the commencement address at west point for this year's graduating class of cadets. and cnn's priscilla alvarez is with us here tonight presented this is the third time biden has given a commencement address to the army's newest officers, but his first time as the president of the united states, indeed, at a critical time, no last, of course, the united states spaces multiple global challenges, and that is what the president was
3:08 pm
reflecting on in this address, while also thinking the cadets and calling them the next general generation of leaders. now, the president did not name former president donald trump, nor did he make a direct election year appeal, but he did underscore the values that he has previously suggested are at risk if his republican rival were to take a second term that includes, for example, freedoms and also the preservation of democracy. take a listen wash foreigners, know better than anyone. freedom is not free requires constant vigilance and, for the very beginning, nothing is guaranteed about our democracy in america every generation has an obligation to defendant to protect it to preserve it to chosen now is your turn now, of course, a big theme of this address was us leadership on the world stage amid all of the ongoing conflicts that we continue to

3:16 pm
hours later, the group posted that the couple was shot and killed by the gang missions in haiti's as a third person, a haitian staffer named jude was also killed him in the attack. were told he'd been with the organization for 20 years. the violent incident started as the missionaries were leaving church and lasted for several hours. davy lloyd's father says the three died barricaded and the lloyd families living quarters on the mission compound. haiti has been spiraling into gang fueled chaos which forced the resignation of prime minister there are yellow henry in april. the un estimates some 80% of the capital city is under gang control in recent months, cnn's made multiple trips to board a prince you've met victims of the gangs brutality, including rape, kidnapping, and murder hundreds of thousands. now refugees in their own cities as gangs have torched their homes and forced them to flee. we've also met with a liter of one prominent gang. he and others demanding a say in haiti's future. a
3:17 pm
future that may again be shaped by foreign forces president biden hosted kenya's president william ruto for a state dinner in washington thursday around the same time that the deadly attack on davy and natalie lloyd was taking place top of the two liters agenda haiti. >> we are going to take up that responsibility alongside the haitian police. >> can you plan to lead a un backed multinational support mission to haiti with at least 1,000 kenyan police officers sent to deploy. president biden staving thursday, the us will not send troops but is provided equipment and intel. the white house, reacting to the killings at a statement on friday, our hearts go out to the families of those killed as they experience unimaginable grief. missions in haiti, among many others, has been warning. haiti is on the brink of collapse. the group posting last month, it seems the world has turned their backs on him at and it's going to be left in complete gang control. now three of their members, just the latest victims of that unrelenting gang violence jessica, these
3:18 pm
latest killian's only add to the pressure facing the multinational security support mission led by kenya. it's been delayed for months now. but could deploy at any moment now, un experts tell us that unless the gangs feel like there's some sort of non-violent off-ramp then that mission and those foreign forces could face an extreme amount of violence bloodshed and a country that is so desperate for healing. jessica all right. >> david culver. thank you so much for that reporting. and there have been conflicting reports about how the missionaries were killed on thursday, the missions in haiti, haiti group described the victims as being shot and killed. but on friday, a source close to the investigation told cnn at this point, the bodies of the american missionaries do not appear to have gunshot wounds. an investigation into that incident is ongoing let's turn now to the war in ukraine where russian missiles have been raining down on the critical city of kharkiv ukrainian officials say russia
3:19 pm
launched a third strike there this afternoon, leaving more than a dozen people injured. that includes a 13-year-old boy hours earlier, a russian strike hit it's crowded shopping center official saying at least two additional people died. their three dozen were injured. we're joined now by retired us air force to colonel frederick leighton. great to have you here russia is absolutely zeroed in on kharkiv. what is the significance besides being the second largest city, right? >> jessica? yeah it's good to be with you. what are the key things to note about kharkiv, which is right here, is it's only 20 miles from the russian border the russians also have this town of belgorod, which is a major staging area for the russian forces and has been really since the beginning of this war. but kharkiv is really important, as you mentioned, second city. but it's also the key to north eastern ukraine. and when you look at all of ukraine you can see that there were so many different parts of this area, but this is basically the key to everything
3:20 pm
that's coming to the south and everything that is basically in the eastern part of the country right here. it's basically an effort by the russians to go from the donbass region, which has all of this to include more of ukraine on the eastern side, right there by that borders, important contexts. and yesterday, the secretary of state, anthony blinken, announced a $275 million military aid package for ukraine to help repel this assault in kharkiv toward kharkiv what's included can't get there in time, can it make a difference? >> well, this is going to be one of the key things. so the things that are included, everything from 155 millimeter artillery rounds, javelin until missile. so basically we're talking anti-aircraft and anti-tank missiles. hi maurice rockets again, major air defense system munitions to handle demolition, as well as anti-tank mines. so these are all the kinds of things that are there. can we get there in time? this could last to get there, might take you about two weeks in some cases up to six weeks. so this is really a critical thing because when you
3:21 pm
look at all of ukraine right here, you see that there are so many different aspects where if any of this is cut off from the rest of ukraine, that's going to be a major problem for the ukrainian forces and will really create a major problem for them in this particular case. the other aspect of this, of course, is other equipment including tactical vehicles, body armor, as well as equipment for anti chemical biological radiological, and nuclear warfare. so in other words protective equipment for those kinds of events should there be something like that? >> and meantime, the new york times reporting russia's ramping up efforts to disrupt ukraine starlink service, especially again, near kharkiv starlink is this is essential for a lot of military communications and drone operations. so it seems like this it's significant. >> it is huge because starlink was basically the communications mechanism that the ukrainians used. starting at the very beginning of this war, commercially available system, but it allowed them to communicate in real time with
3:22 pm
all of their forces that allowed them to deploy there drones. it allowed them to target using artillery and intelligence reports. and it basically was the mechanism they use to fuse all their intelligence. this terminal, right here was basically a key to all of that. and it's based on basically getting data from low earth orbiting satellites. and then transmitting it like a wi-fi system. to a local area network around this particular terminal. and that's the kind of thing because when you look at the kinds of things that have happened in ukraine if they don't have starlink, what really happens is that they are in essence cut off from communicating with all of their forces i end when it comes to this, this is really part of your russia's electronic warfare effort, which is designed to really prevent us weapons from working as well as preventing the ukrainians from community and he kidding with each other. >> wow. all right, kernel cedric late and great to see you. thank you so much. americans are jumping into the holiday weekend with both feet blowing previous travel records out of the water. we're going
3:23 pm

3:28 pm
tell scene and monod was arrested at the airport in amsterdam. she was due to perform in the uk tonight as part of her ongoing world tour. that performance has now been rescheduled hold it is officially one of the busiest holiday travel weekends ever, more than 38 million americans expected to drive to their destinations over this moral day holiday. and as of friday, the tsa says it hit a new record for one day screening, nearly 3 million passengers and airports across america. let's get to our senior data reporter, harry and ten, he's crunching the numbers and harry airports and roads have been packed with travelers it's interesting because americans say they're very worried about the economy and polling, we keep seeing that as their number one concern and frustration and yet, what could always people out about yeah. >> i think the real thing here is they're no longer afraid that the bottom's going to absolutely dropout jessica. i mean, this is something that we've heard about from a lot of folks over the past few years, or recession is coming or recessions coming. recession
3:29 pm
is coming. and a lot of americans thought that a recession was coming. well, that's no longer the case that is the big turnaround here. and what we see is in fact the percentage of americans who believed that a recession is coming has dropped off significantly just from last year, a recession now, or in the next year last year at this time, it was 66%. now, it's just 40%. that is the lowest level we have seen since before for the covid, pandemic. so yes, there are fears about the economy. there are a lot of folks who are thinking that the economy isn't necessarily doing so well, are certainly isn't doing as well as it was before the covid, pandemic. but the fears that the absolute bottom will drop out have alleviated somewhat and i think that there are a lot of folks saying you know what my fears of the economy dropping completely out are not there as much as they were anymore. so let's take that vacation that we didn't think that we were going to take previously. and that is something that we've seen with the course. those tsa numbers and the aaa numbers on
3:30 pm
the driving as well, where we're seeing more american travel than any point since the pandemic began it is kind of incredible. i know you're talking about covid and the role it plays. >> and kind of how people's thoughts on its potential impact are changing as well yeah, you know, this is something that i think we're talking about those fears, the fears of something absolutely occurring that will cause the economy to just fall apart. i can remember back in february of 2020, i didn't i had heard about covid-19, but it was something that was happening overseas for the most part. and then all of a sudden it happened here and everything just seemed to come crashing down. we have to spend all that time in our houses. we couldn't be with our friends and more than that, you saw the stock market dropped off, right? your soul? a lot of people become unemployed. you saw a lot of paychecks dry up. and so i think there was this fear when it came to the covid-19 pandemic that the covid-19 pandemic would cause the economy to drop off. and we see that in the polling as well. and what you see here, the covid-19 is a major threats of us economy. look at this back in april of 2020, it was
3:31 pm
88% given as recently as two years ago, it was 58%. now, it's just 23%. so what i think you're seeing in the numbers jessica is yes. there are still fears about the economy overall, but the fears that the economy will absolutely collapsed have basically gone by the wayside. so i think there bottom americans right now who had been saving up sort of saying, i'm not going to go on that road. i'm not gonna go spend that money because i'm afraid that the economy, my job will go bye-bye. that's no longer there. and so you're seeing are a can travel in record numbers. you're seeing them go out and record numbers. you're seeing them go to concerts and record numbers, baseball games in record numbers, people i've been holding back a lot from coven saying, you know what, we're out of jail now, we're at a covid jail, rather the economic geoff, we're going to go and have a good time. people are ready to p art, why they want to have fun. and i speaking to travel airlines have noticed this surge in european air
3:32 pm
travel from america to summer cities like lisbon, milan, munich, and you've got a theory as to why this is. >> i haven't theory and i have it theory so i was talking with my producer sydney, who is one of the biggest taylor swift fans. there is out there and she was telling me, i want to go see tete and concert but the price of tickets in the united states is absolutely outrageous. so what am i supposed to do in this situation? well, if you look right now when you go on stubhub and you want to buy a ticket, let's say for a miami concert, it might run you in $1,902,000. but if you go, let's say to speeding and you take into account the airfare you take into account the hotel and we're talking about a nice hotel and you take out take into account the ticket. what are we looking at? we're looking at a fair adjust a little bit more than $1,000. so it actually costs less money to take a nice vacation over to
3:33 pm
europe to c. taylor swift than it is to go here in the united states. and so i think a lot of folks, a lot of taylor swift we know about that taylor swift economy they're saying, you know what, we're going to take a nice vacation. we're finally going to take that vacation. we couldn't take because of covid we're going to go overseas. we're going to have a good time and it will cost us less money to do it than to spend that money here in the states and maybe get a so-so seat to see. of course favorite taylor swift. >> wow, harry, i am one of these people. i'll be going with my fiance and our two friends were going to c. taylor swift end. you get a european vacation out of it. so it's not too low inclusive vacation, right? >> are you going you're going to travel i am going to travel. i will admit with my long legs unless i'm gonna go business class, it's like kinda miserable for me to send the economy the entire time. so i tried to keep my air travel to about two-and-a-half hours or less, i will go to bermuda, which of course part or at least related to either kingdom. so not going to london, but you know what the folks there peak with a nice little tinge of a british

3:42 pm
lai ching-te got less than a week in office and you have military drills happening around taiwan, protests in the capital, tension in parliament. >> it is quite a situation and the people here say they're not necessarily all supporters of the president, but they are supporters of democracy and they say taiwan's democracy is in danger right now. and those drills are enough evidence for the world to see exactly what's happening. will ripley, cnn, taipei well, thank you and joining us now, discuss further a cnn political national security analyst, david sanger. >> he's also the author of the new book, the new cold war's and americs struggle defend the west david great to have you on this book is perfectly timed for what is going on right now after two days of war games, what do you make of this show of force by china? >> and the message it is trying to send here well, jessica, you start off with a question of what was the provocation here? and the provocation was the inauguration of a democratically elected leader
3:43 pm
who was previously serving as vice president. so that there's very little change in actual cool policy. so what that tells you is that the chinese government is looking for almost any event that they can find to do this demonstration of force, that they could take the island if they wanted to the last big one was nancy pelosi's visit two years ago and they use that moment to go across the sort of central line and the taiwan strait they've kept doing that in the years since and so they're making no pretense now about their ability to encircle the island. the question is, do they actually have intent to take it over one day or is this just intimidation and i go back to your book? which really focuses on the rise of china, the russian invasion. >> what it means for the west
3:44 pm
and i'm struck by the fact we are seeing china watch russia, watch them invade ukraine, watch how the west has responded, and how that response and support his wavered and now we see these drills over taiwan help connect the dots for everyone here well, the first obvious statement is that the chinese are watching what we do in ukraine very, very carefully if we flag, if we sort of give it up after two years are saying it's important to maintain ukraine's sovereignty in a democracy. >> they'll probably take that as a pretty big sign about what the long-term reaction would be if they've tried to go after taiwan. >> now the complicating factor for taiwan, of course, is that unlike ukraine it's the supplier of something world completely needs. >> and that is the world's most advanced semiconductors. they are produced by taiwan semiconductor the gym in the
3:45 pm
middle of the island counts for much of taiwan's economy and one theory is that the chinese do not want to tack and bomb that out while they still need those chips as much as we do. so we may have some additional time and we may have some additional time from the fact that the chinese government, right now is battling an economic slowdown and that would make going into taiwan look a lot more expensive, particularly the sanctions that might follow and also you have president biden and his administration saying that they would defend taiwan if if china did indeed go in what is that mean? and i would think the us also watching this quite closely well, that's right. >> we've had three or four times where the president has said, not only would he defend taiwan but these would send american troops, which is
3:46 pm
something that he never said and has never done in the case of ukraine. now, the difference has to do with, with our agreements with taiwan that emerge from the nixon kissinger decision to begin to open up to china and then later on but full depth maddock diplomatic recognition of chyme so the question is do the chinese believe it and du, the american people believed him would americans be willing to lose the lives of large numbers? >> american soldiers sailors, marines to defend an island that was central for the last cold war. >> but seems to have diminished some in the minds of many americans since we simply don't know. >> i think what president biden was trying to do their jessica was probably create some doubt in the minds of the chinese themselves about how far we might go and so what are you
3:47 pm
watching for next as this continues to unfold? well, there are a couple of ways for trying to deal with taiwan. one of them's an outright invasion. it's the riskiest is the one that is most likely to bring about a big reaction from the united states. the west and so forth. the second is to do the slow squeeze to basically declare taiwan just a part of chinese territory, begin to intercept shipping. make sure that internet communications have to pass through chinese hands. in other words, just do the slow but what constrictor and i'm not sure the us is quite prepared yet for how it would react to that, because there would be no single dramatic moment all right david. thing are always great to have you. thanks so much for that analysis. we appreciate it great to be with you, jessica.
