"cnn newsroom" starts right now.

and 4:00 a.m., we start with the breaking news in canada, where 14 people are dead this after a bus carrying a hockey team and a semi truck collided. 14 others were hurt in the accident. the broncos team was on their way to a playoff game. witnesses say it took several hours for victims to be pulled from the wreckage. hockey is a way of life here and local teams are idolized. the broncos posted a recent photo. all in their late teens, but it is not clear who was on this bus. a team statement said, quote, the organization experienced an incredible tragedy. the broncos bus was involved in a terrible accident which has resulted in multiple fatalities and serious injuries. the canadian prime minister

justin trudeau tweeted condolences saying i cannot imagine what these parents are going through and my heart goes out to even affected by this terrible tragedy. of course we'll continue to follow this breaking story here on cnn. a new round of u.s. sanctions to tell you about, this time targeting the russian president's inner circle, all in partly in retaliation for u.s. election meddling. on the list seven powerful oligarchs with close ties to vladimir putin, some of the wealthiest in the country. also named, 12 companies the oligarchs either own or control and to drive the point home the sanctions also target 17 senior russian government officials. not to be forgotten in all of this, the special counsel probe into the 2016 election meddling also focusing on oligarchs and possible connections between members of the trump campaign. jessica schneider explains for us.

>> reporter: tonight several prominent russians who have been sanctioned by the trump administration have ties to president trump's associates and could be of interest to robert mueller. on the list, a billionaire who agreed to invest nearly $19 million in a failed business venture with paul manafort and his deputy rick gates. >> is it true that he owed you millions when he was the head of the trump campaign? >> reporter: he wouldn't answer questions from cnn's matthew chance when confronted last year. the "washington post" previously reported manafort offered to provide him with private briefings when manafort was trump campaign chair than. also on the sanction list, aleksandr torshin, a top deputy with long standing ties national rifle association and there is an investigation to see whether he used the nra to illegally funnel funds to the trump campaign.

the nra says no foreign funds went to election spending. torshin had a brief intersection with donald trump jr. and also reportedly played a role in arranging a meeting between trump and putin that same rear. and an oils and metals tie cycos also targeted. he attended the inauguration and two associates donated to the event. he also attended the same dinner in moscow where michael flynn sat near vladimir putin in december 2015 according to nbc. >> there is thought, though not proven yet, that there may have been back channels used by ol ga ollie ghaigarchs to fund the tr campaign. >> reporter: cnn reported that mueller's team has pinpointed at least three russian oligarchs for questioning. one stopped in new york city and agents searched his electronics. >> there is a clear connection

not only between manafort, gates and the ollie daigarchs but now mueller looking at the oligarchs directly and interviewing them in an effort to understand what happened. so it is a widening net for mueller and a tightening noose for manafort. >> reporter: manafort has pleaded not guilty to criminal indictments in virginia and washington, d.c. stemming from the mueller probe. and now cnn has learned that mueller's team is using information obtained during the manafort investigation to continue to look for alleged criminal activity. in fact, prosecutors revealed that they have a search warrant that gave them access to five at&t phone numbers and that warrant is somehow related to paul manafort. >> that was jessica schneider reporting for us. more now on the mueller investigation. cnn has learned exclusively attorneys for the u.s. president have started preparing him for a possible interview with the special counsel. a white house official and person familiar with the

situation says the legal team is in the initial stage of preparing mr. trump for an interview. keep in mind the president has not formally agreed to talk with mueller. let's bring in nic robertson live in moscow with us. let's start with richard quest's interview with one. ru of the russians targeted, chairman of the bank. he says all of this is a big misunderstanding. let's listen. >> i did nothing wrong to america, to american interests. i was always trying to promote good business relationship with american banks, with american investors. so i'm punished because american administration conceded that the russian government con duskted the wrong policy, it showed the high level of misunderstanding on part of the american administration of the intention of the russian government, of the russian leadership. very unfortunate.

i think we should stop somewhere because we are going from bad to worse and if not for us, but for the sake of our children, who deserve the better world and peaceful world, we should stop somewhere. so i don't have any feeling of revenge. i don't even recommend my government to retaliate because we've already had tit for tat expulsion of diplomats. and now against the russian businessmen, i think we should stop somewhere and start to rebuild our relationship. >> kostin there saying that this is a point where both nations should take a pause and find a way to rebuild the relationship. but the greater question here, this round of sanctions described as targeting the russian president's inner circle, explain how targeting these oligarchs directly affects mr. putin's bottom line. >> reporter: well, i think you heard in that interview there precisely what these sanctions are intended to do. they are intended to have the people that are closest to

president putin and on that sanctions list his son-in-law for example, and others who are very close to him, just as we heard in that interview with richard quest, who are going to say and said in that interview this is time to stop, that we need to stop in, we need to leave a better place for our children. of course the way that he is framing it is slightly different to the way that, you know, that american and british diplomats would hope that it is framed because they are hoping that this is a message that goes to president putin across his business table at the kremlin or around the dinner table if it is a more social setting, the people around him who are his close friends who have the most influence over him get a message to him that this has to stop. that is the effort here. when it talks about affecting the bottom line, the arms

exporter here in russia has said that the sanctions are essentially unfair competition, that they show precisely what the nature of the sanctions are supposed to do, which is remove their ability to sell russian-made weapons around the world. again, that is the message that is intended to be sent. there is a financial cost to pay and that financial cost, the message of that financial cost has to be communicated to president putin and the kremlin in a way that they will understand. so when we hear these types of statements that are emerging in this context, that is the hope. that is the hope that actually this is sent more to vladimir putin than a public international complaint. >> so that is the impact, but now let's talk about russia's response, russia saying that it will be a harsh response. given that it can't necessarily be a symmetrical response, what are you hearing about what course that nation could take?

>> reporter: it was given -- the issue was given, these new sanctions, were given about 30 seconds or so on state television news last night, which is generally indicative of the fact that the government hasn't decided on its position. this is a weekend, easter weekend here. so perhaps this weekend we won't get many details of what the government plans to do, but we heard the foreign ministry in a statement saying that they will respond in a harsh way. they say that the theft of property and money is robbery when you take away people's money and their ability to do business that is in effect robbery. so that is part of the narrative that i think will emerge. but the trade minister said that the government will support those affected by this. we've heard other officials saying that people will find a way of working around these sanctions. but i don't think we've heard the full response from the

government yet. but very clear they are not backing down. this escalation, if you will, in terms of rhetoric and actions at the moment is begetting a response from the russian government and all indications from the foreign ministry, they will not shy away from trying to respond in alike manner. >> the icy relations that we're seeing between western nations and russia on a variety of different issues quite frankly, but how is that playing in the minds of everyday russians there? >> reporter: well, the recommend lynn, if you will, and russian state media of which the kremlin has a very significant role in shaping is able to shape the narrative for the population here. and the narrative has been on the issue of the poisoning of sergei skripal in the uk, russia

didn't do it. on the issue of u.s. sanctions which are for wide ranging number of reasons, meddling in the u.s. elections, meddling in other elections in 2017 in europe, annexation of crimea, involvement in ukraine, all of these issues, the use or the support of the use of chemical weapons, that is the implicit line by bashar al assad in syria, all these things that the west is angry and frustrated with russia about for not curtailing, not dialing back those actions and activities, that is the rationale behind these latest sanctions. but that is not the way that its being told to people here. people here are being told essentially that the government hasn't done anything wrong in syria, wasn't involved in that poisoning. and these latest sanctions then the message seems to emerge that they are in effect to punish

russian businesses just so that western businesses, american businesses, can hoover up some of those business, the arms industry being one point in case. so i think that the message that people will receive here is one that is very finely tuned by the kremlin because that is the way that opinion here is shaped and formed and that is partly, if you will, the reason why president putin was returned so resoundingly with such a high proportion of the voter turnout in the recent elections. and that is something that we've heard in statements here from the government pointing towards when russia is under pressure, they turn to their president and they say, officials say, just look at the latest results, that shows that we are behind the president. the country will rally behind the president. so the message from say the media is the message that helps achieve that. >> it is always good to get that context from you, nic, thank you

so much for your insight today there live in moscow. now, another update on that former spy who was poisoned in england, doctors treating sergei skripal say now that he is no longer in critical condition and improving rapidly, his daughter yulia in stable condition now. moscow denies that it had anything to do with the poisoning. ugs m.s. markets fell sharpn friday, at one point the dow plunged more than 700 points. it closed the day down at 527 points, wiping out all of the gains for the week. nasdaq and s&p fell more than 2%, although a weaker than expected jobs report primed the fall. talk of a trade war with china also having an impact on the markets this after president trump threatened china with $100 billion in tariffs. on top of the $50 billion that

he'd already threatened. the president's new economic adviser larry kudlow tried to tamp down the fears saying there was no trade war and all the talk of tariffs only a negotiating tactic, proposals. that eased the free fall somewhat, but only until treasury secretary steve mnuchin said, quote, there is the potential of a trade war. listen. >> the tariffs will take some period of time to go in to effect. there will be public comments. so while we're in the period before the tariffs go on, we'll continue to have discussions. but there is the potential of a trade war. and let me just be clear, it is not a trade war. the president wants reciprocal trade. >> to talk more about this, let's bring in peter matthews, professor of political science at cypress college. a pleasure to have you on the show. >> good to be here. >> the white house is saying this is not a trade war. if not, the question, are they

playing chicken here and why? is this a negotiation tactic in your view? >> it is the beginning of a trade war and they are playing chicken and a negotiating tactic, all three things. but it could end up in a disaster. we had the tariff after the depression which made the depression far worse than what it had been and it was put on there by republicans, senator and congressman, in order to protect american industry which was not needed and ended up all of the other countries many put tariffs and it escalated. and it is happening today with china and it won't end very well. >> so let's talk about the white house pushing sanctions forward on a list of russian oligarchs, one of whom married the russian president's daughter. these are the actions but the president's words don't quite match those actions. your thoughts. >> well, his words are a lot milder than his actions. and i'm wondering why that is

happening, but it is true that several russian on oligarchs are closely tied to the kremlin were sanctioned. and that will be another problem as far as relations, but on the other hand, we can't be letting these folks influence the american elections and there has to be some retaliation for what happened in a measured way. that's what i would suggest. but it is getting closer to the kremlin themselves because these are kremlin associates. and the oligarchs in russia are different than wealthy people in america because they are connected to the government. the government has a lot of leverage over the oligarchs as well, not just the other way around as more the case here. so you also want to go along with what the kremg lylin wants many cases. >> so as far as the russian president is concerned, are these mixed messages? >> certainly it seems that way. it would be that way probably to mr. putin as well. so you really want to know exactly what trump is doing, what the congress doing. don't forget, the congress has a

different message than the president at times. and this is very confusing for many leaders in the world. we don't know how putin will take it and it is very dangerous because right now these two countries are in the worst relationship they have been in since the beginning of russia -- after the soviet union fell and that is not a good place to be with two nuclear super powers that with miscalculation could start another conflict in many ways. >> and finally roger stone spoke to anderson cooper earlier been asked whether the president would speak to the special counsel robert mueller if invited to do so, here's what he had to say. let's listen. >> in your opinion, should the president ever sit down with the special counsel? >> i have written and said on info wars repeatedly that i thought it was perjury trap, that there is every possibility the special counsel is looking at some process related crime that doesn't relate to russia. i obviously believe the special

counsel has political bias has demonstrated by the fbi text messages and e-mails that have surfaced and political nature of this investigation. so i think it is very dangerous for the president to do so. >> again there roger stone, a man who clearly has the president's ear. peter, the question to you, this advice that he is giving the president, what do you make of it? >> well, i think that he is correct that there is a big danger if trump sits down with mueller and he ends up whether under oath or not not at the timing the truth or waffling on something that seems like it is not fully the truth. that can be prosecuted as a felony or he can be charged and then brought in to be impeached based on a report that mueller would write up. so he cannot in any way say the wrong thing that could seem to be an untruth in any way at all. and with trump, he has a very difficult time giving the same story which is true, it should be true, in the same way the next day. he changes the story, he comes

out and lies at times. so a real danger if he does testify to mueller, there could be serious problems for him. and that is why roger stone advised him not to do it. >> peter matthews, thank you for your time and perspective. still ahead here, the latest on the violence along the israel/gaza border. we have a live report ahead from jerusalem. plus, one of bollywood's biggest stars fights to stay out of prison. the latest on his plea hearing. well, here's to first dates! you look amazing. and you look amazingly comfortable. when your v-neck looks more like a u-neck... that's when you know, it's half-washed. add downy to keep your collars from stretching. unlike detergent alone, downy conditions to smooth and strengthen fibers. so, next time don't half-wash it.

welcome back. i'm george howell. former president of brazil has refused to you were himself into please. de silva is hold up in the headquarters of the metal workers union surrounded by supporters there. he was convicted of corruption and money laundering and sentenced to 12 years in prison and was supposed to surrender to police on friday. his attorneys have asked the brazil supreme court to postpone the arrest until monday. deadly violence broke out

again on friday along the israel/gaza border. palestinians have been protesting for a week in what is called the march of return. it has led to clashes with israeli forces who are trying to stop palestinians from crossing the border. health officials say at least seven people were killed on friday. let's get the latest now from ian lee live in jerusalem. you've been covering this now for several days. tell us about the concerns and the situation today. >> reporter: today the situation is calmer than it was yesterday, george. today we are seeing funerals though of some of the people killed. we're hearing from the palestinian ministry of health that the death toll has now risen to nine people including one journalist, that makes a total death total since the protests began last week 31 people with more than 2,000 injured.

a black curtain across the border. a friday of fire mixed with tear gas and water, ingredients for another volatile day. thousands of palestinians again rallying near the fence meters away, israeli forces. each side bracing following gaza's deadliest week in years. this thick black smoke is designed to obscure the sight of israeli snipers, but the military fears that it could also be used as cover for palestinians moving closer to the border. this video provided by the idf allegedly shows a palestinian cutting the border fence. a red line for israel who warns anyone threatening the country's sovereignty is risking their life. >> our mission today is to deny the hamas that ability and to make sure that nothing harms or security infrastructure and nothing comes across. >> reporter: tear gas and water cannons try to repel the

palestinians. when that doesn't work, live rounds. and a death toll rises. i'm hoping that i will be a martyr, she says. my son is carrying the israeli flag. he will burn it in front of them and i want help to be a martin, too, god willing. she is not the only one that says so. many of these palestinians tell us they have nothing to lose and will do anything to return to lands they lost to israel seven years ago. their determination can be measured by the casualties and the dead and injured, overwhe overwhelming the already struggling gaza hospitals. >> some kinds of medicines and supplies are low, so we are trying, but it is not so easy. >> reporter: it is likely to get more difficult with the violence expected every friday until mid may. and many worry a single incident could burn out of control leading to yet another war.

george, international and as well as israeli human rights groups have accused israel of using excessive force in these protests. israel has said though that every person who is shot is a known threat to israel security, they also say that they are looking into the death of that journalist. but what we'll be watching going forward are these protests, they are expected every friday for the next five weeks. so we're expecting to see the kind of violence that we saw last week and this week to continue. >> ian lee, live for us in jerusalem. thank you. and thank you for being with us. still ahead, russia's oligarchs are now in the crosshairs of u.s. sanctions. that could be a big problem for the russian president. we'll explain ahead. plus, london struggling to deal with deadly stabbings. ahead, what is causing this violence and how authorities are handling it. stay with us. somehow we always leave

packing to the last minute. guys, i have a couple of things to wash we got this. even on quick cycle, tide pods cleans great 6x the cleaning power, even in the quick cycle it's got to be tide

if you'd have told me three years ago... that we'd be downloading in seconds, what used to take... minutes. that guests would compliment our wifi. that we could video conference... and do it like that. (snaps) if you'd have told me that i could afford... a gig-speed. a gig-speed network. it's like 20 times faster than what most people have. i'd of said... i'd of said you're dreaming. dreaming! definitely dreaming. then again, dreaming is how i got this far. now more businesses in more places can afford to dream gig. comcast, building america's largest gig-speed network.

coast to coast across the united states and around the world, you are watching "cnn newsroom." i'm george howell with the headlines we're following this hour. in canada, police say 14 people are dead after a bus carrying members of a junior hockey team crashed. the broncos were on their way to a playoff game when their bus collided with a semi truck. the players are between the ages of 16 and 20. we continue to follow the breaking story. u.s. sanctions have singled out seven russian oligarchs including? seen here who have close ties to the russian president. it is partly to punish moscow for u.s. election meddling. also targeted are 12 companies and 17 russian officials.

russia's foreign ministry is vowing a, quote, harsh response. the dow wiped out all of its gains for the week friday, it closed towndown 572 points over fears of a trade war with china after donald trump threatened another $100 billion of tariffs on top of the $50 billion he threatened earlier in the week. the russian government nds there are no more oligarchs in the country, only businessmen. yet experts say every one of the businessmen'ses his information clun to president putin. we get more now from cnn's brian todd. >> reporter: he doesn't like to talk about his connections to vladimir putin. but now he is one of several russian ol hl lliigarchs in put inner circle. another is his son-in-law who became a billionaire after marrying putin's daughter.

what is an oligarch? rich russian businessmen who got their money through connections to power, specifically putin's power. >> his allies, his oligarchs, his chiefs of police in the military can pillage the country and then store those assets in the west. and they are permitted to do so by vladimir putin as long as they get loyalty in return. what they then give putin back in return is enthusiasm, support, a cut. >> reporter: putin denies that, but a financier who has exposed much of putin's alleged corruption and successfully pushed tough sanctions laws in the u.s. says putin's cuts of the oligarchs deals are legendary. >> vladimir putin i believe to be the richest man in the word, i believe he is worth $200 billion, that money held all over the world in banks in america and all over. the purpose of putin's wra regi has been to commit terrible crimes to get the money.

>> reporter: cnn can't verify his assertions. putin tries to hide his wealth. >> he owns i think two soviet cesear era cars, a 34r59 in sais petersburg. there is a lot of cash flying under the table and private jets being flown all over europe and the u.s. that is lard is hard to keep tr. >> reporter: oligarchs by mansions in florida, london, apartments in new york, yachts, even sports teams. in 2008, one bought a mansion in palm beach from donald trump for $95 million. oligarchs buy up these properties to park their money outside russia and protect it. >> the great benefit of moving your money into the west with anonymous shell cooperations usually, you have high value assets, houses, yacht, plift ri

jets, whatever it is, in countries that will defend your legal rights to keep these things in a way that russia itself won't. >> reporter: and for the oligarchs, an added benefit, a sense of social acceptance. >> it makes them look glamorous, society figures. the social scene in new york. they can then engage in philanthropy. >> reporter: many denied these deeds and the kremlin denies their existence. vladimir putin spokesman saying there are no oligarchs in russia. as for the claim that putin has amassed huge personal wealth, putin says that is garbage. brian todd, cnn, washington. now to london where authorities are struggling to fight a growing crime rate. since the year started, more than 50 murders have been recorded and that number is rising nearly nightly with incidents. this surge in violence has now

put social media and gang culture in the spot line. erin mclaughlin explains. >> reporter: this is what gang warfare looks like in london. kids hide their faces and show off their weapons set to music composed to provoke viral gangs. access uk specializes in gang interventi intervention. what is going through your head? >> because this is what is being played out all the time on social media. if you come down here, there will be repercussions, et cetera, et cetera. so taunting the other group and they have a platform now which is a phone to record and just send it out there. so very easy to do these things. >> reporter: is this a recruitment tool as well? >> possibly. possibly.

because apply there are people that actually are competing on who has got the most dangerous area, who has the particular area. so almost like a sport. >> reporter: takes deadly game. this year alone, over 55 murder investigations launched in london, many of them gang-related. mostly knife attacks, but gun violence as well. the terrain has changed, the gangs are getting younger, recruits as youngs as 14 years old, they say because they are less likely to be scrutinized by police. and not all of their victims are gangsters. this 17-year-old was killed monday. locals say that she was hanging out with her friends on this street, 9:30 p.m., when she was shot and killed, an innocent bystander in the escalating gang warfare. >> she wasn't the type of person

to be in the problems like that. she was fine with everyone. i didn't know why she was involved in this now. some are just too stupid. i don't know. i have no idea. i don't know what is going on. >> reporter: not far away, two hours after a knife attack, an argument breaks out, a sign of simmering tension. people here say that they are frustrated and afraid. >> this is a hardcore contingent committing the crimes, not just -- >> how worried are you about this? >> i am worried. because i know that this is long term, it is not a short fix. and people want a magic wand that will change it overnight. so for me i think it gets worse before it gets better. >> reporter: erin mclaughlin,

cnn, london. >> thank you for the report. let's get some context now on this growing problem, this murder rate with the former chief superintendent for the metropolitan police leave in london. thank you for being with us today. >> good morning, george. >> let's talk about this. you heard the guest just a moment ago go saying that it seems that it is getting worse. what is the answer? is this a matter of different tactics, are police cuts to blame in your view? >> well, yeah, if you look at new york and london, they are very similar cities. you have 8.5 million people, a couple million people traveling in each day. in london, we have less than 30,000 police officers. new york has 35,000. so there has been a significant reduction. when i was commander, we had 32,550. so we've had reductions in police and also support programs that deal with young people involved in crime or likely to go into gangs.

so resources is a really key area. the other feature which i think your program focused on was around social media. i think social media have played a huge amount in making terrorism accessible, but also fwa gangs accessible to lots of people. so we need controls and measures in place and social media take more responsibility to ensure that they take down videos that promote violence. >> making it easier for gang members to upload images and those images certainly important when it comes to recruiting for them. but this other question as we heard in the report, many of the gang members getting younger and younger. how much more difficult does that make it in solving this problem? >> absolutely. i think what we need is much more work in schools. we need people to come into schools and talk to young people. you hear of 10-year-olds taking knives into schools. this is unheard of. fortunately in this country we don't have the relaxed gun laws that you have in america.

so if you have young people with guns, you can imagine how much more dangerous that would be. but the knives are killing people. and every single person killed is a tragedy clearly for the families of the victims, but also the individuals that do the murders. you know, we have very sophisticated cctv here, we have d there. dna, witness, social media profiles. just like in america. those individuals will be arrested. so it destroys everybody's lives involved and we need to get the message into schools and try to make sure that young people don't go into this area thinking that they will be able to do a gang video or a stabbing and get away with it. >> i spent a great deal of time in chicago working as a correspondent focused on many of these issues. and i remember many of the officials focused on what could be done as far as community outreach. soer gue e i guess the same question to you, from your experience, do you think enough is happening with community outreach, getting

on to the streets to engage, to have dialogue to help curb the tide? >> well, i think that you have hit the nail on the head. that is a key element. because by the time it get to the police, you already have the crime committed. what you need is engagement on programs where it takes young people away from crime. and in london, we've had that. we had the metropolitan police had 55,000 police officers a few years ago, it is now down to 40,000. so we've had significant reductions in resources. and you need the feet on the ground, you need boots on the ground to go in, talk to young people, arrest them if necessary, but also try to help them divert away from crime. it's the arts, it's working. we have -- one of the initiatives we borrowed from you is basketball clubs late at night. so it engages young people in a positive way. so those kind of initiatives are being cut back and we need those returned. >> very important initiatives

indeed. dal, thank you so much for your time and perspective. >> thank you very much. still ahead, we're following this breaking news story in canada where 14 people were killed when a bus carrying a hockey team and a tractor trailer collided. stay with us. lilly. she pretty much lives in her favorite princess dress. but once a week i let her play sheriff so i can wash it. i use tide to get out those week old stains and downy to get it fresh and soft. you are free to go. tide and downy together.

in canada, 14 people were killed in a bus crash involving a junior hockey team let's bring in the sports editor and column nis who is on phone with us. thank you for your time. first of all, i'm sure you've been in touch with officials or learning information. what more have you learned about in situation? >> well, pretty much on everything you said as far as the numbers, nothing has been updated. an update is expected this

morning. there are 14 killed, 28 were on the bus, three are in critical condition. so just hoping for the three people who are seriously hurt to at least maybe there is some good news out of that if they can pull through. >> that is certainly the hope here. and many of our viewers just understanding more about this particular team, can you give us some insight about this hockey team? >> well, in canada there is a lot of small town hockey teams, small city hockey teams. and there is sort of two -- the main level of junior hockey is called the canadian hockey league and the lo of those national hockey league and then the next tier below that is the junior "a" league, and that is where the humboldt broncos played. and a lot of wintry nights on buses going from place to place. it is just a way of life for the junior hockey player.
