12:26 am
galvanizing issue for the biden campaign, and one that they have fanned out across the country to talk about and to make the argument that they are at risk. reproductive freedoms are at risk. if donald trump were to win a second term. but seated next to president biden was also former president barack obama, who also talked about the values of candidates. and that, too, should be considered by voters when they go to the polls. but this was also an event that would that allowed democrats to rake in more money. and indeed, this was the largest ever democratic fundraiser with more than $30 million raised. and that is the momentum that the biden campaign is trying to keep going into november, as they also try to maintain that cash advantage over donald trump. priscilla alvarez, cnn, washington. >> we'll be sure to watch as cnn hosts the us presidential debate next week. it's on thursday, june 27th at 9 p.m. eastern in the us. that's 9 a.m. friday here in hong kong. in the coming

12:32 am
shooting nine people, including children, in our. gloria. pazmino has the latest on that investigation. >> that's right, several communities impacted by gun violence throughout this weekend, including this community in rochester hills in michigan, where nine people were wounded by gunfire, including an eight year old and a four year old. one of them, shot in the head, remains in critical condition along with his mother, a 39 year old woman who sustained gunshot injuries in the stomach and on her leg. she is also in critical condition. police telling us that these victims are all part of the same family. police are telling us that they have identified the gunman as michael william nash, 42 years old, from shelby township. they say that this shooting appears to have been at random. they have yet to
12:33 am
identify any sort of motive for this shooting, but they said that he drove up to the splash pad where young children and families were gathered. he got out of his vehicle and opened fire 28 times, even stopping to reload his weapon. he then fled the scene and took cover at his mother's house. she happened to be out of the home at that moment, and there was a struggle between police and the gunman as he continued to barricade himself inside the home. police tell us that they later found him dead from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the house, where they also found a additional weapons, including a military style rifle that was sitting on top of the kitchen table. we have images from that collected by a drone that was sent into the house as they were trying to contain the suspect in

the house. i want you to take a listen to the local sheriff talking about how this event unfolded and how it could have been worse, and also witnesses who were not far from the scene and heard when the gunshots first rang out. >> we were sitting on the patio and, we heard, like we heard we thought it was firecrackers. and it was, i guess it was gunshots because we because we heard people screaming like, help us, help us. >> i believe that because we had quick containment on him, that if he had planned to do anything else and, and it wouldn't surprise me, because having that on the kitchen table is not an everyday activity, that there was probably something else, a second chapter potentially. >> now, this is the second mass shooting in the last five years for this community of oakland county. this is home to the oxford high school. that's where the oxford high school shooting
12:35 am
took place back in 2021. this community once again left reeling from this gun violence and from what we have heard so far, it looks like the number of victims could have been much greater, given the amount of times that the gunman fired into that playground where people were gathered. we've also learned that white house officials, including the president, president joe biden, have been in touch with the local representatives offering support and any resources in new york. gloria pazmino, cnn. >> as ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy wraps his peace summit in switzerland, military bloggers say there's fierce fighting in a ukrainian town in the kharkiv region. ukrainian troops are trying to push back russian advances near the border after losing control of several villages. a ukrainian squad commander describes the situation as difficult but
12:36 am
controlled, saying russian troops are surrounded and the kremlin claims its forces are trying to create a buffer zone at the border that could help protect russian cities like belgorod. and russia's defense ministry says its troops have improved the situation along the front line well. meanwhile, the ukrainian president saw a strong show of support from his allies at the peace summit. more than 80 countries backed a joint statement calling for territorial integrity for ukraine. well, this comes after russian president vladimir putin unveiled his terms for a so-called peace proposal on friday, which was criticized by many world leaders. zelenskyy closed the summit with this warning. >> we are responding to russia's full scale invasion of ukraine, not only with a full scale defense of human life, but also with full scale diplomacy. it's important that all all
12:37 am
participants of the summit supported ukraine's territorial integrity because there is will be no lasting peace without territorial integrity. we >> joining us now is cnn's clare sebastian in london. let's start with this peace summit. clare not all countries signed that joint statement. it must have dampened the excitement somewhat of what was actually achieved. >> yeah, i think, anna, we have sort of two sides of the coin here. right. on the one hand, the very strong, very welcome for ukraine optics of that enormous family photo. around 100 countries participating and the sort of optics that show off the back of a big week of diplomacy, the berlin reconstruction conference, then the g7 that ukraine does have the support of a large portion of the sort of global community. but on the other hand, there is also that cold, hard reality that, number one, there are countries who still see it as expedient to keep up a relationship with russia. you see, from the holdouts, those
12:38 am
who did not sign the communique, india, for example, which still buys a lot of russian oil, much more than it did before the war. south africa, among them, as well as saudi arabia also, which has tried to sort of sit on the fence here, play a mediating role that they didn't sign the communique. and secondly, there are there are countries that really just want this war over regardless of the cost, because of the effect it's having on their economies. i think that's why you see food security as one of just three points from president zelensky's ten point peace plan that made it on to this final communique, because that is something that has affected particularly the global south, that blockade, which ukraine has now obviously opened up to some degree, that blockade on its grain exports. russia, meanwhile, took this opportunity. president putin launching a type of counter programing, laying out his own conditions for peace, which involve, number one, ukraine withdrawing from portions of its own territory. and number two, essentially the same demands that he laid out in at the end
12:39 am
of 2021. even before the war, which i think is a very clear reminder here that the strategy from russia is attrition. this is what ursula von der leyen, the eu commission president, had to say about putin's demands. >> it was not a peace negotiation because putin is not serious about ending the war. he is insisting on capitulation. he is insisting on ceding ukrainian territory, even territory that today does not is not occupied by him. he is insisting on disarming ukraine, leaving it vulnerable to future aggression. no country would ever accept these outrageous terms. >> so obviously a lot of credible assurances for ukraine there, but also the reality that advancing to actual peace talks with russia are still very elusive. anna >> clare, let's now turn to this
12:40 am
latest fighting in kharkiv region. we've just reported as ukraine tries to reclaim ground, what are you learning? >> yeah. so look, this is just so everyone's clear. this is sort of the new front line that russia opened up in the past few weeks, coming sort of across the border from the north towards the town of vovchansk. we're hearing from both sides that there's pretty fierce fighting happening in that town at the moment. it seems to be concentrated around an aggregate plant in the north of the town. ukrainian sources are commander on the ground and a very sort of well-followed blogger saying that ukraine so far is able to sort of repel russian attempts to take control of that aggregate plant. but russia also saying that the conditions there are improving. ukraine, meanwhile, reported in the past few weeks that with the supplies of western weapons coming through, they have had better success in stabilizing that area and a. >> claire sebastian in london, we appreciate the update. thank you. well, still to come, shocking allegations against
