if pope francis retires as well, a 2,000-year-old institution could be fundamentally changed forever. palestinians begin a second day of protests. this was the scene friday when 17 palestinians were reportedly killed and wounded along the border with israel. >> also this hour, packing up. the u.s. consulate in st. petersburg closes in russia. music and politics. south korea singers head to the north to perform musical diplomacy. welcome to our viewers in

the u.s. and around the world, i'm natalie allen. >> i'm george howell. newsroom starts right now. we begin this hour is trouble in the middle east. a day of mourning for palestinians. >> this, after 17 people were killed, almost 1500 wounded in clashes with israeli troops on friday. according to palestinian officials, it is the first day of what is planned of weeks of protest called the march for return. >> palestinians are demanding they be allowed to return to land. that is now part of israel. >> ian lee has been in the middle of the protests. he is back now live. what more can you tell us about the situation now? >> reporter: yesterday, we were in the northern part of the gaza strip. this time, we are in the

southern part, east. you can see behind me, you have camps. camps like this are set up along the border, they are multiple camps, staging points for the protesters. they meet there and that's when they start their protest going toward the border and a fence, you probably can't see it. there's a fence and a dirt mound. that is where the israeli military is positioned. yesterday, though, the violence was tense, the tensions were high. we are told by a spokesman it was the deadliest single day in gaza since the 2014 war. the value of land in blood and tears, earlier gazans moved toward the border. first, warnings, then tear gas.

the palestinians advance, some hurling rocks with slingshots, then come israeli bullets and the casualties. >> throughout the course of the day, we have seen so many people injured that the ambulances have a tough time of keeping up. they drop the injured people off at the hospital, they get back, usually filled up and they are off again. >> the death toll rises, more than a thousand injured. overwhelmed hospitals struggle to cope. still, the tens of thousands rally around the palestinian flag, they are demanding to return to their lands lost in the 1948 war, which is now in israel. hamas urged them to remain peaceful. >> translator: of course we feel afraid but we should sacrifice for our land. people should sacrifice for it, but, of course, we feel scared. our children are very important for us.

>> reporter: scenes like this played out along the border. palestinians and israeli soldiers squaring off. for the residents of gaza, the goal is simple. >> translator: we are ready to cross now over the border. we are waiting. we have crossed it before and we will do it again. >> reporter: crossing that fence is a red line for military, blaming hamas for the violence and issuing a warning the army views with severity, any breach or attempts to damage the security infrastructure. still, the young men of gaza push forward. casualties mounting. the largest protest gaza has seen in years, met with deadly violence. this is only day one. george, we are going to be

monitoring day two. there's not as many people today as yesterday. we are expecting this ebb and flow over the next six weeks, as long as the protests are called for. friday is typically the day of protests in this region. on those days, we are expecting a spike. also, hearing from the palestinian ministry of health yesterday, there were so many casualties they are lacking on basic medicines for emergency and supplies. they say they had a shortage of blood and were able to get enough people to donate and fill that gap. just kind of gives you an idea of the intensity of the situation that unfolded yesterday. george? >> as you pointed out in your report, the value in land, blood and tears. we will, of course, see how things develop today. thank you for the report. in the latest move of a diplomatic rift between russia and the united states. russia is following through with

its promise. it expelled diplomats. >> the staff in st. petersburg are leaving. it stems from the poisoning of a former russian spy and his daughter in the uk. britain says russia is behind it. russia denies it. >> ambassadors were called to the russian foreign ministry friday to be told a number of their diplomats were being expelled after they kicked out russian diplomats. >> matthew chance is joining us. hello to you. what do we know about the latest expulsions? >> reporter: well, we know there's been a lot of them, at least 23 countries have had their ambassadors called to the russian foreign ministry here in moscow, handwritten letters by foreign ministry officials and told a various number of diplomats from each country has

been expelled in response to the expulsions of those countries. a number of countries have been left out. russia reserves the right to take action against them in the future. russia, also, issued a further protest and sanction to britain saying the united kingdom must lower the number of diplomats it has in russia to the same number russia has in britain. we haven't worked it out and the british haven't told us whether that means further expulsions or not. yes, the situation has been an incredibly damaging one. it is still ongoing. more than 140 russian officials, in fact 145 diplomats expelled from various countries around the world in response to this poisoning case.

russia selected more diplomatically than anytime since the end of the cold war. the question, matthew, is whether this show of international unity or at least the western unity in the face of this alleged russian action will be enough to give russia thought or cease what many in the west believe is russia's strategy of confrontation or whether it will antagonize russia further. again, it's not clear at this point what the impact of these expulsions and this diplomatic spat will be. >> right. you have to wonder if this is what vladimir putin wants. we should be hearing from sergey lavrov to comment on these things. do we know where any of this will end as far as the tit for tat back and forth, expelling diplomats? >> reporter: it's difficult to say. i think from the view of most countries involved in this, this

is likely to be the end of it. the fact that there's been more measures issued against the united kingdom and they have been asked to reduce the number of diplomats here to the same number as in the united kingdom of russians could mean we enter into another round of bilateral tit for tat expulsions between london and moscow. but, you know, i think the main driver of this is going to be what actions russia takes in the future. if this diplomatic spat produces the result of many in the west, which is russia ceases to be so confrontational over a range of issues, not just this alleged chemical weapons poisoning, but issues from syria to ukraine and other things in the international diplomacy. this could be the end of it. certainly, it feels like we are in a very tense moment in international relations or

relations between russia and the west. >> certainly is a new development and it's worldwide. thank you matthew chance for us in moscow. as the diplomatic role is heathing up, russia showed an intercontinue nen alba listic missile. >> they have nicknamed it satan 2. as barbara starr reports, they say it can carry multiple warheads and strike targets around the world. >> reporter: russia claims this is a test of their new state of the art intercontinental ballistic missile nicknamed satan 2. according to the russian state news agency, it's the second successful test. it comes after this recent test firing of an airborne high-speed icbm. just weeks ago, russian president, vladimir putin, offered a flashy display of weaponry, including the satan 2. >> translator: this new system has no limitations on distance.

as you can see from the video, is capable of attacking targets via the north and south pole. >> reporter: one russian video animation showing airborne weapons attacking florida, nobody missing the implication that he could reach president trump's mar-a-lago home. they are watching closely. >> nothing surprised me. once again, you know, we have very good intelligence capabilities and we watch very carefully. nothing he said surprised me. >> reporter: the launch comes 24 hours after u.s. diplomats were expelled from russia in retaliation of kicking them out as part of a global response of a former russian spy and his daughter. even if there is no link in timing, a former u.s. top diplomat says it's time for everyone to be careful. >> with the current spat, it is an upgrade one needs to be

careful about. i worry about accident and miscommunication. it's hard to know whether we are close or far away from that. the mere notion there's a minor chance of something going awry on the nuclear side should disturb us all. >> reporter: president trump is prepared to discuss all of this with president putin, face-to-face. he didn't bring up the poisoning or election meddling in their last phone call. >> we can discuss the arms race. as you know, he made a statement that being in an arms race is not a great thing. that was right after the election, one of the first statements he made. we are spending $700 billion this year, our military. a lot of it, we are going remain stronger than any nation in the world, by far. >> reporter: most of the russian weapons are years away from being operational. when they are, what happens then? barbara starr, cnn, the pentagon. we also heard from the u.s. president on the issue of syria.

>> that, apparently, confused his team. listen. >> we are knocking the hell out of isis. we'll be coming out of syria very soon. let the other people take care of it now. very soon. very soon, we're coming out. we'll have 100% of the faith as they call it, sometimes referred to as land. we are taking it all back, quickly. we are going to come out of there real soon. >> a senior administration official tells cnn they are still trying to figure out exactly what the president meant. even the pentagon was caught off guard with the statements. they warned the campaign against isis was far from over. >> the coalition significantly degraded isis, important work remains, to guarantee the lasting defeat of these violent extremists. >> what is life without contradiction, i suppose. look into it with the professor

of international politics at the city university of london, live in our london bureau. the u.s. president and military top brass clearly not on the same page regarding syria as evidence of what mr. trump said to supporters in ohio. the simple fact he announced his plan is a contradiction, as well, as the president pointed out in the past. listen. >> i have a substantial chance of winning. if i win, i don't want to broadcast to the enemy exactly what my plan is. this is what obama does. we are going to leave iraq on a certain day. >> well, he just broadcast to the world his plan. the question, is the president winging it here? what do you make of these series of contradictions? >> well, it's difficult to know exactly what is going on. it could be rally talk. it's reminiscent of some of the things candidate trump said

during the campaign, he was going to not meddle in the middle east so much. it is a contradiction of his own statements in the past and a contradiction of what appears to be established understandings in the pentagon. so, it's very difficult to unravel. the only thing i can say with certainty is, if he intends to carry through this claim, this statement, they are going to withdrawal u.s. troops about 10,000 of them in syria. then i think that is going to ruffle a lot of feathers within the defense military establishment, which i think will lose face in regard to the so-called fight aganls isis. >> we are guard to the united states and essentially standing by its word and its plans, what does this say to other world leaders, these contradictions, again, coming from the president of the united states? >> well, it destabilizes them. they probably got used to off

the cuff comments and so on. this one may not be so much off the cuff. he said this in the past as well. but the thing is, the situation in syria is incredibly complicated. you have turkey involved there against kurdish fighters they claim are terrorists and some people they appear to be allying with are related in some way or another to isis. you have the united states with 2,000 troops there, also fighting against the regime and occasionally clashing with russian troops, thereby treading a fine line between a confrontation between the two most heavily nuclear armed powers in the world and the increasing level of kind of land, sort of control, territoryial control by the syrian regime. what you have is a country which is sort of being interfered with by outside powers. i think, if the isis were to

withdrawal, that would allow syria a much greater level of control of its own territory and may then allow turkey to withdrawal and that could actually restore syrian territoryial side of the regime. >> talk relations between the united states and russia. diplomats kicked out of both countries. they have a missile capable of evading any systems. do these moves strike you as the beginning of a second cold war? >> no, they don't. the key is the situation during the cold war itself, we are making it a bit romantic sa gach -- saga. the united states and russia, russia has nowhere near the power of the united states.

this is a diplomatic tit for tat to have so many russian diplomats expelled from 25 or so countries, mainly in europe. this is a show of strength to say we are going to expel a number of your diplomats and show you actually, you can't mess with russia. part has to do with the up ticks. russia, putin, managing their own public opinion. these missiles that have been taking many years to become operational. we are well armed and you can't just push us around. in the end, i don't think this is a new cold war. i think it's, yes, it's confrontational, but if you look at the kind of balance of nuclear terror, it suggests that no one is going to win anything. i don't think leadership in the west or china or north korea

calculate that way. >> thank you so much for your time and perspective today. >> thank you. we focus next on the fight against police violence here in the united states. two u.s. cities hundreds of miles apart dealing with the death of two african-american men, killed by police. plus, facebook in crisis, again. how mark zuckerberg is responding to a leaked memo written by a top company executive. stay with us. how's your cafe au lait? oh, it's actually... sfx: (short balloon squeal) it's ver... sfx: (balloon squeals) ok can we... sfx: (balloon squeals) goodbye! oof, that milk in your coffee was messing with you, wasn't it? try lactaid, it's real milk, without that annoying lactose. good right? yeah. lactaid. the milk that doesn't mess with you.

in the state of california, the capital city of sacramento, less than two weeks after police shot and killed an unarmed african-american man pressure is growing for accountability. >> protesters are demanding justice for this man, stephon clark. they were chanting, black lives matter. >> this is hours after an autopsy shows he was shot eight times, six of the bullets hit him in the back. >> the lawyers say that

contradicts police saying he was running toward them. ryan young is in sacramento for us. >> reporter: another night of protests in sacramento. you can see the protesters behind me, their voices heard. this is a day with a lot of high emotion. the attorney for the family came out with their own findings in the autopsy. the autopsy showed they believe in their investigation that stephon clark was shot once on the side and six shots hit him in the back and another in the leg. that father of two, they believe, was on the ground dying for several minutes before he received help. now you can feel powerless protest taken to the streets. they claim to have another protest saturday before the nba game here. there's been a lot of conversation about what to do next in this city. the police department will not comment about the independent autopsy because they do not want to comment before their investigation is finished. they are standing still, outside

city hall, to make sure their voices are heard. once again, another protest saturday. a lot of people wondering what will happen next. people in this community said they want to have more answers from the authorities involved ryan young, cnn, sacramento. >> thank you. in the meantime, there are new developments to tell you about in another police-involved shooting in the u.s. from 2016. friday, officials in baton rouge, louisiana, fired one of the officers who shot and killed this man, alton sterling. officer blane salamoni shot him. here is footage of that night. >> it is disturbing. it shows two officers trying to get him to put up his hands and struggling with him on the ground. seconds later, gunshots are heard. later, the video shows sterling as he lay dying on the ground. another story we are

following, malala visits her home. she hasn't seen her hometown since they tried to kill her. >> this video, after she landed, she is hopeful for pakistan's future. during an interview on local tv, she praised the rise of activism and the right for free speech in her home country. >> she is one brave woman. >> indeed. make pop music, not war. plus, facebook is scrambling, again, this time, because of a leaked memo written by a top executive. he wanted to start a discussion. wait until you hear it. stay with us. spring clearance ' on the only bed that adjusts on both sides to your ideal comfort, your sleep number setting. does your bed do that? it's the last chance for clearance savings up to $800 on our most popular beds.

welcome back to our viewers in the u.s. and around the world. you are watching "cnn newsroom." we are wide awake here. i'm natalie allen. >> i'm george howell. more protests planned saturday in gaza after 17 people were killed on friday according to palestinian officials. israel says tens of thousands of protesters advanced toward a border fence there. witnesses say israeli troops responded with ammunition, rubber bullets and tear gas. >> russia's foreign ministry says it expelled diplomats from more than 20 countries. moscow's move is in response to countries that expelled russian

diplomats over the poisoning of an ex-russian spy and his daughter in the uk. video of a test launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile. nato calls it satan 2. the russian president, vladimir putin, says it has the capability to hit targets anywhere in the world. it is shaping up to be a busy week of diplomacy on the korean peninsula. the president of the olympic committee wrapped up a trip to north korea. the country will participate in the tokyo 2020 olympics and the 2022 games in beijing. the u.s. takes more steps to cut off coal struggling from pyeongchang. they blacklist dozens of ships and shipping companies. >> they will show joint military

drills like these over the weekend as the war games kick off. south korean artists will put on a very, very different kind of show. these performers, all of these performers left for the north hours ago for a short tour. the trip includes a k-pop girl band and rock singers. this is the first time in more than a decade south korean artists will perform in the north. >> military drills, diplomacy and k-pop. let's bring in alexander field live in seoul, south korea to talk about it. here we go, let's talk about the situation here, diplomacy that started with the olympic games, now a cultural exchange we are seeing. the south korean k-pop band that will cross the border to north korea. let's take a look at k-pop so the viewers can see it, for those who are not familiar with it. it is different than what people are used to seeing in north korea.

>> look, k-pop is a south korean cultural export that people are able to see in most parts of the world, if you go looking for it. you will recognize, this is distinctly south korean. you don't get this kind of access to these videos in a place like north korea. they do, however, have familiarity with k-pop. there are a couple k-pop groups in north korea. this group, red velvet is the most popular. they are taking on diplomatic work, part of a large delegation that flew by charter plane, flying into pyeongchang where they were greeted by north korean officials. we heard about their expectations for the trip before they took off. listen to this. >> translator: i hope the warm spring day comes in north and south korea. the performance of the art group in pyongyang.

as we are the youngest singers, we will deliver energy to the north american people. thank you. >> george, there's obviously a lot of symbolism to send a large delegation over to the dmz, one of the most heavily fortified borders in the world to put on a show sunday night and join with north korean performers to put on another show tuesday. the symbolism is important. this really is a step forward and a significant one at that. you have to consider it as a cascade of diplomatic developments we have seen in a condensed period of time. look back six months, a year ago, reaching the highest points on the peninsula. now you have a group that agreed to share a stage. we saw something similar happen when north korea performers were on stage as part of the olympic

festivities. it starred there with the agreement to send them to the olympics. and bigger news about the possibility of the leader sitting down, perhaps as soon as may with the u.s. president. george? natalie? >> we are talking k-pop for sure. thank you so much, alexander field. >> let's talk more about it now, we are joined live from seoul. thanks so much for talking with us. let's start with big picture here, first. the girl band heads to south korea. kim jong-un pops up in south korea. now, north korea is invited to the next olympics in tokyo and beijing. big picture, what do you make of what's being developed here? >> well, you know, i think the real big picture, description is we are watching a process where kim jong-un is leading his

country into the world, you know? he's obviously ready get on to the diplomatic stage starting with that surprise visit to beijing. we can be sure he will be meeting with the south korean president, moon jae-in at the end of april. i think the meeting with happen with donald trump and it goes from there. if you combine what is happening diplomatically with the cultural exchanges and openings and doing more with sports, the hopeful view is we are seeing the beginning of a historic process where north korea normalizes its relations. i mean, this will take time and comes into the rest of asia and into the international community. i mean, i think that's the boldest description of what we are watching. >> what was your reaction when you, like everyone else, saw that stealth train pull into china and kim jong-un step off?

>> well, before with we saw kim jong-un, i saw the reports of the train and i was highly skeptical. i didn't think it was him, even after i had been told by people who knew what they were talking about it probably was him. i said, no it can't be him. i will openly admit to viewers, i got that one wrong. he is surprising me, certainly. i watch china/north korean relations. i think it was a standing invitation from xi. it was his decision about the timing. right now, he's a step ahead of everyone. but n a positive way. these are constructive steps that we are seeing. >> right. i hear your sense of optimism and i'm sure many share that because they want this to be something positive, but what about cautionary steps?

i mean thrks is a person that the world has taken a hard line with, he's threatened the world and is anything in play? is he playing anyone here? i know it's hard to know, but what about the cautionary steps or things we should look for? >> yeah, i think the big point of caution, and people are talking about this, is the meaning of denuclearization. not necessarily about the definition of denuclearization, we have to have realistic expectations of when he can give up that program, move in the opposite direction from developing the capabilities to dismantling the capabilities. he's going to have expectations about what he gets in return and that's where it's going to get difficult, you know? that's where you go beyond just the initial meeting and kind of realizing this is a normal human being and well informed and you

can talk to him into hard negotiations. that's always been difficult with north korea and there's no reason it's not going to be difficult going into the future. that's where my optimism starts to fade a bit. i certainly recognize how difficult that's going to be. >> in the meantime, we can appreciate the positive, goodwill maneuvers and steps forward. thank you so much, john, i'm sure we will talk to you again. thanks, john. david warner accepts the fact he may never play for his country, again. >> he gave a statement to the media in sydney and apologized for his role in a cheating scandal. warner and two others are suspended over a ball tampered plot in south africa. here is part of his emotional statement. >> i want to apologize to my family, especially my wife and

daughters. your love means more than anything to me. >> australia's cricket coach also announced he is resigning. >> if you look up in the sky and see something weird, don't worry. it is the size of a school bus and hopefully adrift. >> if i look up and see that, i'm going to worry. >> we'll tell you why not to. hi, i'm bo jackson.

an outlet of control chinese space station is spiraling closer toward earth. as george said, don't worry about it. >> right, don't worry about it. it's okay. it's called the heavenly palace and lost contact with earth in 2016. it's been decaying in orbit ever since. >> evan watson joining us.

the heavenly palace is no longer staying in heaven. what does it mean for those of us on earth? >> reporter: i think most experts insist there's little threat to any person on the ground. certainly, that's what the chinese space agency is saying, this poses little threat to aviation or people on the ground. it does mark, i think, a rather unexpected end to china's first space lab. it was launched in 2011. it means heavenly palace, tumbling out of the heavens. we can show you a satellite tracker that shows roughly where it is in orbit, over the indian ocean, south of india and sri lanka right now, moving at a rapid clip of oh, 7.8 kilometers per second. more importantly is the deteriorating orbit. it has descended from a height of about 207 kilometers on march

27 to about 189 kilometers on march 30th. that's been a steady decent. also worth noting, yes, it was launched in 2011, but in 2016, it appears the chinese lost contact with this vessel, which is about the size of a bus. it's about 12 meters long and weighs 8.5 tons, though the chinese then waited 14 months to inform the rest of the world with the rest of the communication of the united nations that this craft is inoperable. they never explained why they could no longer communicate with it. it is in, now, uncontrolled decent. what that means is, it's po possible, as it enters the earth's atmosphere, it will burn up and disintegrate. the solar panels, which are fragile will be first to go. some may see fire balls in the

sky. there's a chance debris will hit the ground. it's not the first time we have seen a space lab or a space station in uncontrolled decent. it happened in 1979 with the u.s.'s sky lab. it happened again in 1991 with a soviet station known as the salute 7. it's just kind of fascinating to see this piece of technology descending out of the sky and wondering where it may hit next. the predictions are that it could come down sometime between march 31st and april 1st. george and nally? >> that would be like pretty soon, like right now. >> thank you. our meteorologist ivanka br -- ivan is here to talk about it. >> it's not going to come down with a yellow school bus there. that certainly does look terrifying. let's talk about why i think we

are going to be all right across planet earth as that vessel comes down. it is interesting. we have a lot of space junk coming down and the fire balls. it's interesting that something that housed humans, right, actual space lab is coming down. this is out of control. it lost contact. they can't park it where they want to. this is the or bit it takes. the yellow areas, if, if, if. we have been talking about that, right? the pieces that remain make it to the ground, this is the area with the higher probability. you have a higher chance of winning the lottery or getting struck by lightning. we are talking ast nom cal numbers here. one in a billion chance of getting hit by debris from any spacecraft that is falling from the sky. estimated re-entry, april 1st, give or take nine hours because we don't know when it is going to come down.

that's why it's out of control. nine tons. most of it we think is going to burn up. there's a chance all of it burns up. as ivan mentioned, the last space station in 2001 and '79, the sky lab which the u.s. government got fined $400 because the pieces landed in australia and they got fined for littering. this is what we expect. 80 kilometers up, then additional break continues. we are hoping for little pieces here. i put it right over the ocean so you don't panic and think it is coming to you. we have seen this before and it is quite a fire ball, regardless of whether anything hits the ground. i think it will be something to see, especially if it comes in at night. right now, plus or minus nine hours, april 1st. >> again, don't worry about it. >> yes. >> you have me picturing a

school bus. pressure is mounting on facebook to sort out how to protect user's privacy. now, to add to facebook's troubles, a leaked memo that led to concerns. claire has details for us. >> it was written in june, 2016 by andrew, a top executive at facebook. in it, he argues the platform should focus on the core mission of connecting people, even if it has negative consequences. maybe someone dies in a terrorist attack coordinated on our tools, he writes. the ugly truth is we believe in connecting people so deeply, anything that allows us to connect more often is good. he defended the memo saying it was intended to be provocative. this is one of the most unpopular things i have written. the debate helped shape our tools for the better. it may be more so now.

facebook ceo was supposed to publicly defend his platform for the second time in as many weeks saying he strongly disagreed with the memo and recognize connecting people isn't enough by itself. zuckerberg is facing a grilling in congress over why cambridge analytica -- he was in damage control over russia's use of a platform to interfere in the u.s. election. in the past two weeks, facebook's stock plummeted almost 14%. the latest scandal couldn't have come at a worse time. cnn money, new york. it is family over football for prince william. the second in line to the british throne will miss a high profile event to miss a bigger one, his brother's wedding. we are getting ready for harry and meghan's big day.

all right, we are getting a taste of royal wedding fever as more details come to light about the big day in england on may

19th. >> are you excited? >> it's going to be fun to watch. >> prince harry and his american fiance, meghan markle are adding a modern twist. we have the story. ♪ >> reporter: with just seven weeks away from harry and meghan's big day, the wedding plans are in full force. the invitations are being sent, elegant white cards with black type and a crest of gold ink. very royal, indeed. you may have missed one small detail that breaks from tradition. meghan markle is referred to as ms.instead of miss. it means she had been married

before. there are few details about who will be there including the armed forces that will line the steps of st. george's chapel. harry has a special relationship with the household calvary troopers. another person close to the prince, his brother, william will be there, of course. but the timing of the wedding clashed with the fa cup final, which william presides over. he chose family over football. if you catch a glimpse of them, security will be like a ring of steel with full body scanners, bag searchers and medal barriers to control the crowds expected to reach 100,000. >> i hope they can get a glimpse of the wedding dress. i'm sure they will. okay, we are going to move to the day's top stories in a moment.
