2:17 am
regions. isn't who the arrows were russian back separatist, a 40 ukrainians for 8 years. and the 7 people have died after russian muscles hit the ukrainian city of live there. the 1st civilians killed in the west of the city, which had previously been considered relatively safe. video has surfaced of the russian warship moskva just before it sank off a coast of ukraine. there were still conflicting reports about what happened to the flagship of rushes. black sea fleet, ukraine says its missiles if the ship but russia maintains its sank while being towed away after a fire on board. john hall report. new video appears to show russia's flagship cruiser the 43 year old moskva or moscow. shortly before she sank in the black sea on april the 14th, but what actually happened to the aged moskva? this image offers clues in clear distress and listing heavily portside. the mosque
2:18 am
appears to be burning internally with smoke billowing from port holes. there are signs of huls damage. life rafts are missing. the helicopter doors are opened while a rescue ship alongside sprays. water jets. ukraine claims it fired land based neptune missiles that struck the cruiser off the coast of odessa. russia says only that there was a fire on board and that she sank in choppy waters while on the tow back to port. yet the waters here a. com, and the moskva is not on the tow. and perhaps most importantly, the fire be broken, not just the head of it, the defense missiles and just behind its surface itself is miss l. so if at some point after the imagery was taken, either of those systems ignited that would have likely caused a much larger explosion that would have made the ship effectively unsalvageable. so
2:19 am
it's undoubtedly a ship in distress and very much consistent with the ship that has been subject to a successful cruise missiles. also uncertain is the fate of the mosque vase crew as many as 500 strong on saturday russian defense ministry pictures showed the commander in chief of the navy meeting the ship's crew in the crimean port of sebastopol. only around a 100 men present. russia has not confirmed any casualties, but there are reports of social media posts by relatives announcing the death of loved ones on board posts that were like to deleted. in the opening salvos of russia's invasion, the mosque vase played a major part it confronted buddha, gods on snake island in ukrainian waters, and ordered them to surrender. the incident and their colorful response became an emblem of ukrainian resistance. the sunken moskva almost 2 months later,
2:20 am
is now emblematic of something else. not just one of the most significant losses in recent naval history, but assigned to many as well that ukraine's resistance is working. jonah haul al jazeera, the green president has taken another tentative step towards e u. membership, completing a questionnaire. the stack of forms was given to me as a landscape by european commission president of underlying when she visited keith 10 days ago. it's a small move in a long and complicated princess. only you states have to agree before talks they perspective new members can even begin. the process has announced what he called and easter of war, while addressing crowds that one of the final mocking the christian holiday had to be remedied. catholic church from end the fighting and ukraine, and often pres, is which people now the white house says it's disappointed with
2:21 am
a judge's decision to void national mosque rules to planes, trains, and other forms of public transport. a federal judge and florida rule that he was centers for disease control and prevention at overstep it's authority. the cdc recently extended the mass mandate, which has been in place a more than a year, is worried about an army chrome sub there, inch of the virus which is was which is responsible for most us infections. what we announced last week was just a 2 week extension in order to have time to assess what we've all seen as rising cases and, and make an assessment recommendation. i with that in mind. of course, it's disappointing. we also think the mask mandate should be in place and that it's safer for individuals who are flying to continue to wear masks. so we would say to anyone sitting out there, we recommend you are basks on the airplane. and then as soon as we can provide an update from here, hopefully soon we'll provide that to all of you. well, john henderson is at chicago's o'hare, international, one of the united states, busiest staff, or what's that, john? so the bottom administration has now said it won't enforce the mos mandate for now
2:22 am
law. for this ruling in florida, what is all of this mean that well, darren, it means you can do this in the airport as of 2 hours ago. masks seem to have been required still at the airport or within the last couple of hours the by did administration has come out and said, the transportation security administration is no longer going to enforce this rule . there are different authorities, though that may rule differently. for instance, united airlines here and alaska airlines have both said they're going to stop and forcing that rule immediately. so if you go through the security gate here, most everybody we see is wearing a mass, but they don't have to on the plane anymore. whether they're going to announce that or not on the planes that is up to the individual airlines. and those decisions are slowly being made. one agency by another in the chicago area where i own the metropolitan transportation authority, which also regulates buses and trains as they're going to keep that mask rule in
2:23 am
place as of now. and the chicago transportation authority says the same thing. so it really depends on where you are as to whether you have to wear the mask or not. but when you come to airports now, you, most people here are wearing them for the biden administration. says it's not going go and enforces what it hasn't said is whether it's going to appeal that ruling and seek to put it back into place. but they'd only sought to extend it for 2 weeks. so it's looking less likely that they do something different. yeah, john, what about the, the covered numbers overall? i mean on some places actually reinstating mosque policies that try the rules are muddled across the us. and it depends on where you are and who the authority is that be a 2 variant that has been surging lately. is about 30 percent more contagious than previous variance. if you can believe that according to scientists. and what that
2:24 am
means is they're gonna search across the us and then you have head, the city of philadelphia has reinstated its indoor mask mandate. if you go to the theater in new york city on broadway, most of those theaters still require masks. i saw at play here in chicago just a week ago. they are still required here as well. so it depends on where you are. individual businesses could still require those masks. it is a muddled ruling across the u. s. and whoever's authority are under can determine where do you, where one of these are not. all right, john henry, life or chicago ahead. john, thank you. now sure lanka, president admitted he made mistakes which led to an economic crisis, but got a buy a raj, a passcode is still refusing to resign. a sworn in a new cabinet hoping to turn things around. as minova now as reports in the capital, columbus. after days of protests again shall anchors government. 17 ministers take

2:26 am
a week at this protest ground outside the president's office in colombo. oh. and the reaction to the new cabinet here was no surprise. i can, you know, i like that you know, it's of no use of who is the same kind of cooks just different phases coming in. this is not alicia article came from clooney gala to somehow chased them out. we honestly have no way to live because of what they are doing. we are managing with great difficulty. after months of denying an economic crisis. the government has downplayed the protests and he seeking help from the international monetary fund. but some economists say it may be too late. most of the young people we spoke to here, they're, they're not happy with the appointment of a new cabinet. and that as long as resident got, i'll be right above her. and reminiscent mind the roger buck, the remaining card, things will be the same. fernandez, a zebra fella. mo police have been deployed across india to quote violence between
