nakheel kumar is live in new delhi. what more are you learning given bombings? >> reporter: >> reporter: george, the information is still coming through. the information that we have points to a devastating series of what looks like a series of coordinated attacks. six bombings, three of them at churches on this very important day for christians around the world and in sri lanka. hundreds have been injured. 137 killed. among them nine foreigners. this is a country in the past has seen a lot of violence. there was a decades long civil war. for many people today, this will be a reminder of that. i cannot stress enough in this case we don't know all the details who may be behind this. the government has not pointed the finger of anyone and we don't know of any claim of responsibility so far. all is the details we do have points to a devastating set of attacks that for this country is a tragic reminder of a part it

thought it left behind. the last few years have been relatively peaceful. now a targeted set of attacks on at least this minority today. >> stand by with us if we could. if we can take the video full, i want viewers to get a sense exactly what's happening here, these sites the attacked. again, we're talking about hotels that have been attacked. these hotels with foreigners there. we're talking about churches where people of course, were there for easter sunday. these are soft targets, nikhil. this video shows the chaos has ensued afterward. certainly rescue efforts are under way. >> reporter: that's absolutely right, george. soft targets is correct. today as you said, it's easter sunday. these churches from what we understand were full. we're trying to get a full picture of the number of people in there. that's why the emphasis right now is very much on rescue efforts both at the three

churches we know about and the hotels. this is a popular tourist destination. sri lanka. so the efforts right now are focused on making sure those injured, hundreds we know about, they are brought to hospitals around the country as quickly as possible. of course, alongside that, investigating what happened, how it happened and who may be behind this. the authorities there held an emergency meeting earlier today headed by the prime minister. we know from state media that the all the police leave has been cancelled. the entire country really coming together to as i say, make sure those who have been hurt already brought medical attention and to get to the bottom of this, how did this happen, who did this, and get a fuller picture of what's unfolded on this be very holy day, very important day pore so many christians around the world and in that country, as well. >> nikhil has been following the story. stand by, of course. you need to take a moment to touch base with your to come ri

to you in a moment. i'd like to bring on with us by phone father n, social communic director for the archdiocese of colombo there. father edmund, again, you were at one of these sites that was hit, that was bombed. tell us about what happened, please. we should have on the line father edmund. if we have him, father, if you're able to speak to us, can you -- we don't have him now. we'll try to reconnect with him in a moment. let's bring back in our correspondent. nikhil, are you still with us? >> i'm right here, yes. >> so let's get a sense, of course, you laid out some of the background here and also pointed out at this point, we don't have any indication of who might have

been behind this, but again, give viewers a sense of the history there in sri lanka. again, that is a place that has not seen this type of violence in some time. >> reporter: that's right, george. the civil war there are ended in 2009. and since then, we've seen a few years of relative peace, compared to what happened in past decades in the '80s and '90s and early towels. and there was a massive military offensive that brought that civil war to an end. since then, people have been celebrating and grateful an it's been peaceful around sri lanka. you can travel around and you can go to the north which was a focus of the civil war back in decades. and so as the sense of normalcy, people have become used to. now this crushing series of attacks which will as i say bring back very tragic memories for the country. but again, i should stress the reasons for that war were of course, very, very specific and

we don't know what's happened here. we don't knows who behind this, what the motivations were, we don't know what happened really. the authorities are still trying to get to the bottom of that. as we wait for that, it's certainly true this country only just recently been enjoying a period of peace, it's been plunged back into the most devastating of tragedies all over again. >> following this for us live in new delhi. you're staying in touch with your sources there. if we're able to bring back in father edmund we will do so. 138 people killed in these blasts there. more than 560 people injured. this is breaking news. we'll continue to follow it for you over the next several hours on cnn. now to france where catholics are also getting ready to hold an easter mass at a church in paris. that church a replacement venue

for the notre dame cathedral. so far, about $1 billion in donations have been pledged to rebuild notre dame. and a benefit concert was held on saturday to raise even more money. but those donations have angered yellow vest protest ares. they feel their own needs are being ignored. let's get more on this live with melissa bell live in the french capital for us this hour outside the church. melissa, the service there starts in about an hour's time, a little less at this point. usually held at notre dame, given the fire there, certainly a change in venue. >> reporter: that's right, george. as you can imagine it will have a special pointance, special significance for the faithful gathered here. they're already queueing. the line stretches quite far back already as they hope to get into the church where that service that would have been held at notre dame is to be held and you're right. more emotion last night in na concert that was very well attended watched by 2 million

people in the country. what it involved was singing but also one of the firemen who had been involved in the initial part of the operation who spoke to the crowd very movingly and told them about those, the first sight the firemen had of the flames. each of them shed a tear before they could even go about trying to put it out. he finished, george, very movingly by talking about notre dame saying that the old lady might have the lost her hat referring to her roof but she kept her smile. >> melissa, stand by. we're going to go back to our breaking news in sri lanka. i want to make sure melissa bell pointing out, of course, the service that was usually held at notre dame held at a different cathedral this hour in less than an hour's time. yellow vest protesters are upset by the money raised for that are cathedral. we'll continue to follow that story.

i want to get back to breaking news. i do believe we have with us now father edmund. we tried to bring him on earlier. we have him connected now. we want to get a sense of what's happening in this developing situations in colombo. you're looking at ins there. father edmund, are you able to tell us what happened as you were at one of those sites that saw an explosioning? and again, i don't think we have father edmund tilikaradna. you get a sense there were so many people involved in this. 138 people who were killed in this, more than 560 injured. we understand father was one of the people at one of those explosions. these explosions at several different sites coordinated set of explosions during a short amount of time. we will continue to try to connect with people there. of course, try to get back in

touch with the father to get a sense of what he survived from the explosion there. moving on to u.s. politics and the mueller report. many republicans say that it is time to move on, but president trump is again blasting that report on twitter saying this despite the fact that the mueller report should not have been authorized in the first place and was written as nastily as possible by 13 or 18 angry democrats who were true trump haters including highly conflicted bob mueller himself, the end result is no collusion, no obstruction says the president of the united states. we should point out the report does not exonerate president trump on obstruction. our boris sanchez is traveling with the president in florida and has this report for you. >> reporter: chairman of the house judiciary committee jerry nadler filing a subpoena demanding to see the full unredacted mueller report. democrats demanding to see all the underlying evidence

including information that was redacted because it includes sensitive grand jury information. nadler set a deadline of may 1st, but it does not appear the department of justice is ready to comply with his request. they put out a statement in part calling his requests unnecessary. here's the full statement. they write, "in the interest of transparency, the attorney general released the special counsel's confidential report with only minimal redactions. the department of justice has also made arrange s for chairman nadler and other congressional leaders to review the report with even fewer redactions. his subpoena is premature and unnecessary. the department will continue to work with congress to accommodate its legitimate request consistent with the law and long recognized executive branch interests." because of this dispute between house democrats and the department of justice, it appears that this fight will likely wind up in court. meantime, president trump spent saturday at his national golf

club here in palm beach, florida. the president driving by a crowd of supporters giving an enthusiastic double thumbs up. we have heard from sources at the white house that the president fuming over details in the mueller report. he's apparently angry at mostly former aides who gave details to mueller that depict a white house in chaos and a president who is angry and paranoid over the russia investigation and also aides that either completely ignored or refused to follow the president's orders. boris sanchez, traveling with the president in west palm beach, florida. >> let's talk about all of this now with scott lucas. a professor of international politics at the university of birming happ, also the founder and editor of ea world view joining us this hour from england. good to have you. >> good morning, george. >> democrats obviously want to see more of this report. the department of justice calling their recent subpoena though premature and unnecessary. keeping in mind that much of the

redacted material and scott, it's about 10%, is linked to 14 investigations that the special counsel handed off to other prosecutors. the question to you, why do you think lawmakers find it so critical, so necessary to see that information that has been blacked out? >> because the mueller report raises serious incidents of contrary to the spin from attorney general william barr collusion and obstruction. just to give you a couple examples, there is a lot of material which is redacted on the trump campaign's encouragement of wikileaks to release material obtained from russian intelligence to damage hillary clinton. now, we do know that one of the trump campaigns informal advisers, roger stone, was is claimed to be the liaison with wikileaks and he is facing trial. you could say, this could prejudice the trial but on the other hand you could say to reese the full material could expose extent of the involvement of the trump campaign with russia and its intermediaries.

if you talking about obstruction, remember mueller found trump either guilty or a basis for his guilt on obstruction of justice or possible obstruction of justice in eight of ten kays. so to get more detail on how far he intervened, for example, over the cases of his former lawyer, michael cohen, former campaign manager paul manafort, michael flynn, or indeed on his efforts to fire robert mueller, an that information is critical to establish did indeed even if robert mueller said he could not indict the president because he's a sitting president, does the obstruction of justice, is it tan to mount what would be a criminal charge if trump wasn't sitting in the white house. >> had you explain the reason democrats are champing at the bit. they do want to see more of that information. they have are saying there could be more investigations possibly even impeachment. republicans warn that approach scott, could backfire on them in

the lead up to the election if they don't focus in on those issues that matter an the end of the day on main street. by your standards, do republicans have a point here? >> democrats are -- the democratic candidates for president and democratic length laters are focusing on issues that matter. we could talk about the green new deal, the connection of the environment to the economy. we could talk about the issues regarding health care that have been raised by many democrats and by.actubists. we can talk about issues regarding education. >> but scott, you know, with respect, wouldn't you say the focus right now is on this report and the possible investigations, the possibility of impeachment? >> i mean, given in the past 72 hours it's inevitable the focus would be on the report because the immediate reaction of the white house and attorney general barr before. the report came out was to immediately try to burrill it, to try to push it away. yes, we're going to see a few days of basically trying to keep this report to establish what indeed it did say rather than

having it be subjected to spin to distort it. but that doesn't mean you can't walk and chew gum at the same time. you can talk about the mueller report and you can talk about education and you can talk about health care and you can talk about foreign policy. and all of that will be significant in the next 20 months rather than the republicans saying oh, oh, oh, oh, the only issue on the table is those naughty democrats trying to impeach donald trump. >> mr. trump has pointed the finger back at his predecessor barack obama. mr. trump saying that he did nothing to stop russian interference in the election though the former president did speak directly with vladimir putin telling him according to former president obama to cut it out. some former obama staffers have indicated a personal disappointment that they didn't do more in that situation. what do you make of president trump's criticism here? >> well, let's frame it first of all for what it is. this is like the thief saying oh, why didn't stop me breaking into that house.

the arsonist say why didn't someone stop me from lighting the match. for someone accused of obstruction of justice saying somebody should have stopped me from doing this, not exactly a strong defense. let's explain why obama. i disagree with this. i wish obama had been firmer. the reason why they did not bring out the extent of possible russian interference as it was being investigated in the run-up to november, 2016 was that obama and his staff made the decision that if they highlighted the possible interference by russians they might be seen as trying to politically tilt the scales against trump. so they stood back. remember they stood back for that reason even though fbi director james comey later fired by trump did arguably tilt the scales by coming in and talking about not the russia investigation but of course, the investigation of hillary clinton's e mails. >> scott lucas giving us perspective live in birmingham, england. always a pleasure. thank you. >> thank you, george.

his mind. he tweeted should not have been authorized in the first place. and was written by what he called trump haters. the president also called robert mueller conflicted and again repeated the false claim that the investigation found no evidence of obstruction. we're following breaking news this hour after officials in have i lan can say at least 138 people are dead, more than 560 people wounded after six different explosions across the country at hotels and churches. state media report the blast hit three hotels. hit three churches, as well on easter sunday. it's being described as a coordinated set of attacks. pakistan's prime minister is among world leaders posting their reactions tweeting this. "strongly condemn the horrific terrorist attack in sri lanka on easter sunday resulting in precious lives lost and hundreds injured. my profound condolences to our brethren. pakistan stands in complete solidarity with sri lanka in

their hour of grief." we're awaiting reaction from the vatican about the bombings. our senior vatican analyst john allen is following the story in rome and joins us live this hour. we understand holy mass is under way right now an the vatican. has the pope said anything yet about these blasts, these explosions in sri lanka? >> reporter: hi, george. happy easter to you. no, we don't yet have a comment from pope francis. he is moments away from delivering his homily. that's the sermon that heal deliver for easter sunday mass. the vatican sent out an advisory this morning saying he would be speaking without a prepared text. and so it is -- we would expect that he will have something to say about the bombings in sri lanka. later today, of course, at around noon rome, so any about an hour and a half, the pope will be delivering his traditional urbi etorbi address.

we would also expect he will have something to say on sri lanka at that time. >> just to the point of have i lanka, it was just four years ago that the pope visited sri lanka. he prepared peace and reconciliation after the country's long civil war there. >> reporter: yeah, it is of course, deep lie ironic. but we should say, george, this is while tragic not surprising. both christmas and easter, the most sacred moments on the christian calendar, are also moments when churches around the world are full. that makes them ripe targeted for people who have an objection to christians to christianity or to what they perceive as a foreign presence on their soil. in 2015, there was an attack on christians on easter in kenya. 2016, had you bombings at a christian park right after easter services in lahore, pakistan, that left 75 people

dead and 300 injured. last year, there were attacks on christian churns on easter in india. so this is part of a global pattern that is not simply localized to sri lanka, george. >> of course, we'll continue to follow events there in sri lanka. let's look again as these live images coming from the vatican. take the image in full, you get a sense of the crowd there. so many people who have come together this easter sunday as they usually do for their very important day for christians, catholics around the world. john, looking ahead at the pope's remarks, the pope's plans for this day, tell us more about services planned for this easter sunday. >> reporter: well, this of course, is the ingle most sacred day on the catholic calendar. it's the day that christians celebrate the resurrection of jesus from the dead after three days in the tomb. so the pope is going to lead the easter sunday mass. it's intended to be a kind of

joyous celebration of life and hope although obviously, with the somber undertone today, not merely because of today's bombings in sri lanka but also theives of the notre dame fire. at noontime today, the pope will consider what is considered one of his most important addresses of the year. it's your biet or by address meaning to the city of rome and to the world. it's sort of a 360 degrees review of the global situation. we would imagine that pope francis would talk about the holy land as he typically does the israeli, palestinian conflict, the broader problem of violence in the middle east, particularly syria and iraq, probably talk about africa and asia, both objects of his concern and also some of the social issues he cares about the most, the plight ofmy grans and refugees, the fate of the poor, vips of human trafficking, victims of war and the arms

trade. this is an opportunity for pope francis to sort of try to yourous the conscience of the world and we are expecting him to do that again today at noon rome time. >> john allen giving us context there live in rome. we'll stay in tush with you throughout the day. now to northern ireland. two suspects have been arrested in connection with the murder of a journalist lyra mckee. police say the killing may be terrorism and a group referred to as the new ira they say is responsible. international diplomatic editor nic robertson following the story live this hour in londonderry. the new ira. help viewers help to understand the background of that group and this new connection that investigators have linked to mckee's killing. >> reporter: it's a dissonant republican group and the police believe that the gunmen the two men they arrested are members of

that group. this is a group that has its roots in sort of violent republicanism that they follow in the traditions of what they believe you know, what people might call the old ira that this group the police say that they fear is what they call a new breed of terrorist. now, i think it's lost on no one that lyra mckee's killing really highlights the opportunities, if you will, that were left after the good friday peace agreement 21 years ago, that a new generation was given the opportunity to shine. she absolutely shown. she was a star and rising journalist. there are other people and you would point to these two young men potentially, the two young men the police arrested one 18, one 19 who also grew up after the peace agreement, grew up in what what was a more peaceful environment here. yet, they chose to turn to terrorism. that, of course, is what concerns the police. that helps us understand when

the police say they're deing with a new breed of terrorism. it has its roots in the past, perhaps takes some of its idea ol, its language from what we've heard in the past. this morning you can see behind me a police bomb disposal team. you may hear shortly a controlled explosion. there are two suspect explosive devices left at locations in the city in the early hours of this morning and police right now are on scene. one of them the one behind me has been left outside the doors of a local counselor. where i'm standing here is barely less han half a mile from where lyra mckee was killed. so these are difficult times for the police and the police have appealed to the community around lyra mckee's killing for people are any mobile phone video footage of around the incident at that time to come forward with it. easter sunday a sunny day here. not the way many people in this community hoped to start their

easter sunday with security alerts in the city. >> certainly not. nic robertson live, thank you for the reporting. 20 years ago, a terrible tragic shooting took place at a school in the united states here in the state of colorado. two students stormed columbine high school in 1999, those students killing 13 people before taking their own lives. now the community is remembering this tragedy. ♪ >> the town of littleton is marking the grim anniversary with a memorial service of its own to honor vips and survivors of the mass shooting. several speakers praised the school for its strength and resilience after the attack. still ahead here on newsroom," the question among democrats to seek impeachment or focus on other issueses. democratic presidential candidates make their positions known in the wake of the mueller report. when we started our business

member, she did say that she felt that bob mueller needed to come before congress and testify. and in a q and a with reporters senator harris said the report also made one thing clear. >> there is no question that there is good reason to believe that there was an obstruction of justice by this president. there's no question. >> reporter: senator harris said she was not prepared at this point to call for impeachment, that she's a former prosecutor. she wants to look at all of the evidence. she wants to see the underlying evidence. she wants to see the full unredacted report. and until she sees it all, she's not ready to make that judgment. key yong la, orangeburg, south carolina. >> thank you. the mueller report made one thing clear. there were numerous times when president trump may have obstructed justice. it laid out ten specific instances from firing the fbi director to trying to remove robert mueller to telling white

house counsel don mcgahn to lie about attempts to remove mueller. some experts say mcgahn actually saved the president by not following orders but the presidents is railing against him. our tom foreman has this. >> reporter: total bs as the president raging against the mueller report, he appears to be singling out one particular manor spoke to investigators. former white house counsel don mcgahn. >> thank you very much. >> reporter: watch out for people that take so-called notes, trump tweeted. when notes never existed until needed. >> it's been a privilege to be part of a presidential campaign that was successful. >> reporter: it is a big turn around considering mcgahn's role during the russian probe. it was mcgahn who refuseded to fire the special counsel when trump said mueller has to go. mcgahn who refused to lie about it later. the mueller report indicates both actions protected trump from obstruction charges, but jack o'donnell, a former

executive in the trump organization, says trump's anger is typical. >> in this case where don mcgahn really saved him it's not relevant because the bigger picture makes donald look bad. >> i don't have a list of enumerated powers i think i can look to. it's more general. >> reporter: the report suggests trump was always suspicious of mcgahn's potential power. why do you take notes trump reportedly said in a meeting? lawyers don't take notes. when mcgahn said he was a real lawyer, trump shot back, i've had a lot of great lawyers like roy cohn. he did not take notes. cohen served senator joe mccarthy during his campaign to root out communists and worked for trump in the 1970s when trump's company was accuse of discriminating against african-americans. cohen had to set in that legal battle and eventually lost his license for unethical conduct. still before mcgahn left the

white house last fall, trump said he would not be. >> he's done an excellent job. >> any concern about what he said to the mueller team? >> not at all. >> reporter: perhaps president had reason to think that. when he was trying to get his casinos up and running battling politicians and more, who helped manager every detail? don mcgahn's uncle pat. >> literally donald could ask pat mcgahn to do anything and he would do it for him. obviously, don mcgahn had his limits with donald trump. >> reporter: so trump fans are facing something of a puzzle right now. what should they think of don mcgahn? sure, the president is putting him down but he is also the very man hob appears to have saved the trump presidency. tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> tom, thank you. still ahead a medical breakthrough to tell you about. hollywood compared this genetic

disorder to living in a plastic bubble. and it now appears doctors may have found the cure.

you may have heard of bubble boy disease. it's a repair genetic disorder

that prevents infants from developing an immune system. now doctors say they have found a new treatment for that condition and some are calling it a cure. chief medical correspondent dr. sanjay gupta has this for us. >> reporter: 2-year-old jaysian gold is a pretty typical toddler, likes to play ball, plays peek-a-boo with a door. when he was born his aunt who takes care of him dani haw kins can thought moments like this might never be possible. >> what kind of life would that be him not being able to, nobody touch him. he can't have friends. he can't go to parties. he can't swim. you know, how am i going to tell him as he gets older that he can't go outside? >> reporter: you see, when he was born, he screened positive for a genetic condition known as x linked severe combined immunodeficiency disorder. it basically means he has no functioning immune system. you probably know it as bubble

boy syndrome. the condition became a part of pop culture after john travolta played a boy with the same diagnosis in the 1976 movie "the boy in the plastic bubble." now while kids didn't actually live in her met particularly sealed rooms, it was critical to keep patients as best protected from germs and pathogens as possible. >> they're prone to opportunistic infections if they are not treated properly on time or early on. >> reporter: current treatment requires children with the diagnosis to undergo a bone marrow transplant and a lifetime of immune boosting maintenance with antibiotics and other drugs. but just this week, there's new hope for children like jaysian because of a new gene therapy treatment developed at st. jude's children's research hospital in memphis. here's how it works. researchers harvest the stem crews of kids like jaysian and insert those cells with healthy genes. those cells are then infused back into the children where

they repopulate and boost the immune system. dr. mort c ott wan oversaw the treatment at the university of california san francisco. >> three to four months post the infusion not only was he able to go home and you know, start to live a relatively normal life, but we were able to take him off all complete isolation and all prophylactic medications. >> jayson is one of eight children treated with this experimental therapy. it's been about a year and a half to two years since they were treated and all are doing well. their ground breaking results were published in the "new england journal of medicine" this week. >> i don't use the cure word very often pore these patients. but i have to tell you that i truly believe that we have cured jayson of his severe combined

immunodeficiency disease. >> reporter: for jayson, it's the chance to truly live the life he was meant to live. dr. sanjay gupta, cnn reporting. > we continue to follow the breaking news out of sri lanka. authors there say at least 138 people have been killed in six different explosions. those explosions hitting three hotels and hitting three churches. this as christians celebrate easter sunday on this day, keeping in mind more than 560 people have been wounded in what is being described as a coordinated set of attacks. witnesses and survivors are describing the scenes of horror. the prime minister condemned the attacks as cowardly and urgedcy lan cans to remain united and strong reaction is coming in from around the world as we continue to monitor events at the vatican this easter sunday. the pope has not yet spoken about the tragedy in sri lanka. these live ins from the vatican this hour. but we are told he may make some
