hello, and a warm welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and all around the world. i'm max foster in london. the man who shot inside a new york city subway is set to appear in court in the coming hours. details on the tip that led to his arrest and the investigation to find the motive. plus this --

>> we do already see the russians resupply and try to reinforce some of the forces they have in the donbas. >> the european security architecture have changed fundamentally after the russian's invasion of ukraine. >> it's useful to go there and look in his eyes and say the war has been planned. >> reporter: the russian troops are amassing to come into kharkiv from this direction. >> translator: this is not war, this is terrorism. this is cnn breaking news. it's thursday, april 14th, 11 a.m. in ukraine. the u.s. and its allies are helping ukraine prepare for the coming fight in the donbas region of eastern ukraine with more weapons and ammunition. the biden administration is sending another $800 million in equipment including how witsers, armored personnel carriers and helicopters. european union is contributing another half billion dollars in

military aid. all of this comes following a direct appeal following president zelenskyy in a video message he released which does contain graphic images. >> the images of bucha and mariupol have demonstrated real russian's intentions to the whole war. it could only be stopped by force. it must be done now. ukraine needs weapon supplies. we need heavy artillery, armed vehicles, air defense systems and combat aircraft. anything to repel russian forces and stop their war crimes. despite pulling his forces away from ukraine's capitol, russia is still making strikes against kyiv. they will strike the decision making centers unless it stops the siege of russian cities. mariupol the mayor reports 180,000 people are waiting to be

evacuated. nine human any territories are arranged for thursday. this video aired on russian state television. cnn is not in mariupol and cannot confirm the report. ukraine denies the story and says the city's remaining defenders have joined forces to fight until the end. meanwhile, ukraine claims it hit a russian warship in the black sea with neptune missiles causing serious damage. the russian state media dispute that saying a fire detonated ammunition on board and the ship was evac you could waited. cnn cannot verify either of those claims. now in the city of kharkiv video on social media appears to show explosions from cluster munitions in a civilian area. such attacks may amount to war crimes. no matter what they're called, russia's military has inflicted unbelievable pain and suffering

on ukrainians. in a village a mother was distraught to find her dead child's poddy had been tossed into a well. this video is hard to watch. as you can see, she's inconsolable by identifying the boy by his shoes and cries out, my little son. a very distressing scene. meanwhile, france says russia is building up its forces to, quote, conquer the donbas region in the next few days and is carrying out airstrikes and bombings to weaken ukrainian defenses. many people still in the region are defiant and say they're not going anywhere. cnn's ben wedeman has this report.

>> reporter: all is not quiet on ukraine's eastern front. not far from the town of bavankova, russian mortars warn of what's to come. ukrainian officials say the offensive in the donbas region, the eastern part of ukraine, has be begun. perhaps it has or perhaps this is the softening up before the onslaught. among ukrainian troops. >> stronger. >> reporter: this officer gives a more sober assessment. the russians are building up for an attack. they're coming and coming and coming, lieutenant tells me. we're not in an easy situation. russian shelling tuesday killed three people including a

16-year-old girl according to the town mayor who has been urging residents to leave. not everyone heeds his call. the stubborn few wait for supplies. this is our town, insists delina. we're staying here. we know our soldiers are protecting us. udmila looks to a higher power. we'll pray to god, she says. maybe he will save us all. 83-year-old elizebetha sits outside her home. she, too, is staying put. my son's wife is scared and will probably leave today, she says, but i am not afraid. and then off she goes on her bicycle the enemy storm be damned. ben wedeman, cnn, eastern

ukraine. lithuania, latvia and estonia traveled to the u cravenian border to meet with president zelenskyy. they discussed aid for ukraine and offered to help investigate war crimes. during the trip they visited brodianka, a town that's been devastated by the airstrikes. they called kyiv not war but terrorism. the e.u. ambassador to ukraine joins me now from kyiv. thank you for joining us. what's it like in kyiv at the moment? >> kyiv is opening up. magnificent city, but of course it's a capitol of a country at war so the atmosphere is tense. the officials are returning to their offices and everybody's working on repelling the

russians. >> because there is suggestion, you know, with the russian language of going for the power centers again if attacks are made on russian soil so kyiv isn't yet safe, is it? but there's a real effort by the international community to re-establish missions there to show that it is still an independent capitol. >> in diplomacy added value comes from the presence and that's why it is important to be present in kyiv for me, for the european union and other countries supporting ukraine. >> when it comes to the eu role here, obviously each country is making their own decisions around military responses but the eu is seen playing a key role in terms of sanctions. you haven't yet given zelenskyy all that he wants, particularly in terms of oil sanctions. how far are you going to be able

to go, do you think? how difficult are those negotiations? >> first of all, the eu is also coordinating the military assistance and coordinating weapons deliveries exactly according to ukrainian requests with the additional half a billion euro allocated last week. the work on the sixth package of sanctions has started and we will be part of the discussions. definitely. >> are you going to be able to give them the sanctions on oil, for example? >> as to the european commission, the eu executive started working on the next package and oil will be part of this package.

it will then have to be decided by the eu member embassies but this process has started. >> what are the challenges you're facing in getting military equipment out to the east and part of the region? it's obviously much more difficult than reaching the kyiv region where it was focused before? >> it is of course a challenge in war time but it's ongoing. obviously not many details of the practical deliveries can be or will be revealed, but we know exactly what ukrainians want and we are delivering exactly that. >> the other thing they want obviously looking to the long term is eu membership. in terms of progress there, are we expecting to hear anything in

the coming weeks. obviously ultimate membership takes years but there are negotiations and announcements you can make in the meantime. >> indeed. ukraine submitted its membership application on the 5th day of the war and the eu executive, the european commission has started working on its analysis, on its opinion as requested by eu member states. this work focuses on whether ukraine fulfills the two basic criteria for eu membership, functioning democracy and functioning market economy. we intend to be ready with this work by june and then again it

goes to eu member states and decisions can be expected. >> they could have candidate status by the summer, couldn't they, if all goes smoothly? >> i mean, i'm in no position to speculate what the eu commission's decision will be, but i expect the candidate's data being discussed then. >> thank you very much, indeed, for joining us. the eu's ambassador to ukraine there in kyiv. we got the words of the new york city mayor after frank james was arrested. sources say he called the tip line himself to report his location to police. james is set to make his first court appearance today for carrying outer or list or other violent attack on mass transit.

wnbc show what law enforcement believe to be the suspect entering the subway. brynn gingras has more on what we are learning from the alleged gunman. >> reporter: the gunman now in police custody. >> 33 shots. less than 30 hours later we're able to say we got him. >> reporter: sources telling cnn 62-year-old frank james reported himself to police by calling crime stoppers. police later spotted him walking on a manhattan street. >> he was taken into custody without incident and has been transported to an nypd facility. he will be charged with committing yesterday's appalling crime in brooklyn. >> reporter: authorities say it was james who set off smoke canisters and opened fire into a crowded subway car tuesday morning. >> we used every resource at our disposal to gather and process significant evidence that directly links mr. james to the

shooting. we were able to shrink his world quickly. there was nowhere left for him to run. >> reporter: investigators determined the gun found at the scene of the attack was purchased by james in ohio in 2011 elevating him from a person of interest to a suspect. keys found at the crime scene led police to the u-haul van investigators say james rented in philadelphia leading police to a storage if afacility and a apartment there. his motive in the attack still unclear but they have pointed to rants on his account. the latest video on monday where he reported committing violence. >> i've been through a lot of [ bleep ]. i want to kill people. i want to watch them die right in front of my [ bleep ] face. i don't want to go to [ bleep ] prison. >> reporter: james also advocating for mass shootings on social media. >> you see mass shootings.

we need to see more. got to see more mass shootings to make [ bleep ] gun standards. no, it's not about the shooter. nope. it's not about the shooter, it's about the environment in which he actually exists. >> reporter: others include james saying he has post traumatic stress, race, policies of mayor eric adams. >> we are watching about those who are saying dangerous threats. why aren't we being more proactive. >> reporter: before james's gun jammed, ten people were shot and dozens more injured. >> i don't think i'll ever ride the train again. >> reporter: all are expected to heal quickly but the mental will take some time. >> we hope this arrest bring solace to the victims and the

people of new york. >> reporter: james now in federal custody and there's still a lot of work being done behind the scenes. investigators are still going through all of his social media, also sifting through all of the evidence they have collected seeing if they can bring even more charges against him or maybe even zero in on a motive. that single federal charge is against him at the moment and he will be in court on thursday. brynn gingras, cnn, new york. former fbi special agent says the suspect's social media videos will be likely key to determining a motive. >> you can almost see him as a lone wolf black nationalist domestic terrorist. he was espousing a race war. he distributed louis farrakhan videos. he said the only reason black people have equality is because of violence and he espoused violence. it looks like he was looking at some radical black nationalist ideology so he could be seen as

a domestic terrorist but what works against that is he picked a target or train in a very diverse neighborhood. if he was intent on carrying out, you know, a race war or attack that would try to push us into a race war, he would have picked a different target. this neighborhood was blue collar people going to work. they were multi-cultural, multi-racial victims. >> former fbi special agent bobby jaccone there. we'll bring you the latest as this develops. a community seeks justice in another deadly unarmed shooting of a black man. the video details how a traffic stopped turned wrong. blizzards, wildfires, tornadoes all part of a system that's hitting. we have more on where it's going to hit next. >> the eastern seaboard on alert here. over 60 million americans including the northeast seeing

crowds gathered on the streets of grand rapids wednesday night protesting the death of patrick lyoya. an unarmed black man killed at the hands of a police officer. more than a week has gone by and officials say he's currently on paid leave. ben crump representing lyoya's family demands the officer be fired, arrested and prosecuted. cnn's omar jimenez has the story and a warning some of the video you're about to see is disturbing and may be hard to watch. >> reporter: a struggle, a gunshot, a black man dead on the streets of grand rapids, michigan. an officer under investigation for shooting patrick lyoya in the head. >> stay in the car.

>> reporter: on april 4th they say lyoya was pulled over for improper registration on the car he was operating. just a few minutes into the stop lyoya starts to run. >> no. no. no. stop. stop. stop. put your hands up. >> reporter: the officer catches lyoya. the two begin to wrestle. then the officer uses a taser. but it fails to make impact. the officer's body camera turns off during the struggle. police say it was unintentional. the passenger in lyoya's car was recording this cell phone video and captured what happens next. >> drop the taser. >> we are determined to get this right. >> reporter: authorities now facing tough questions like whether the officer's life was in enough jeopardy to draw his gun. >> so a taser is not per se a deadly weapon. a taser is what is known as an

intermediate weapon. it would have the potential to cause death. it would have the potential to cause great bodily harm but not necessarily. >> lyoya was a congolese refugee. ben crump contends lyoya was confused and terrified for his life. the naacp adding an unregistered license plate should not be a death sentence. the still unidentified officer has been stripped of his police powers but remains on paid leave pending the state investigation. >> we will seek transparency. we will seek truth. >> reporter: now the investigation into what happened and the officer is still with michigan state police and remains ongoing despite the video being released now in the name of transparency. once those results are in, they'll be sent to the police department for potential disciplinary action but they'll also be sent to the county

prosecutor for any potential criminal charges. until then this officer, still unnamed, remains on paid leave though stripped of his police powers. omar jimenez, cnn, grand rapids, michigan. a severe weather threat in the u.s. is moving east right now with philadelphia and new york in the path of these storms. the same system led to tornado watches from illinois to texas on wednesday which have since expired. meanwhile, some northern states are facing blizzard conditions while texas and new mexico are dealing with a threat of wildfires. one fire in new mexico has left at least two people dead. meteorologist pedram javaheri joins me now from cnn weather center. worrying to see these storms moving towards the populated areas. >> absolutely. it won't take much to cause a lot of damage and what they've produced in the past couple of days. here are the storm reports. notice a couple of tornado reports as it relates to the

winds. significant amount of wind. widespread coverage of severe wind gusts that at times were gusting to over 16, even 70 plus miles per hour pushing up to hurricane force across the state of mississippi and really the intensity, the ferocity of these storms as impressive as it gets. in fact, look at the lightning data. in a 12-hour span, 106,031 lightning strikes. frontal boundary from louisiana all the way to ohio. that span about 830 miles across and it speaks to the incredible magnitude of the storm system. notice some of these like the tornadoes spotted across portions of louisville, kentucky, into the evening hours. any time you look at these, we talked about the tornadoes in recent weeks. we had an incredible and historic month of march. the month of march brings 180 tornadoes. this has it at 292 tornadoes, an

all-time record for the most aggressive start. april 2022, 13 or 14 days into the month now, 129 reports of tornadoes, 155 is what is considered average. likely going to be another month where we push up to near record territory when it comes to how active it has been in the area of severe storms. flooding, 2 to 4 inches and some pockets 6 inches of rainfall. some of it is beneficial. a lot of it has led to flooding. iowa, arkansas, wisconsin plenty of coverage. high pressure builds in the wake of this. the storm system is on the move and max noted here it is going to impact a very densely populated corner right there across the portions of the northeast, includes philly, new york for thursday afternoon. notice the main threats straight line winds and hail. tornadoes have been eliminated from the risk zone there. severe weather still expected

across the eastern new york states. now more than 300 people are dead after what officials call one of the worst storms south africa has ever seen. heavy rain, flooding, mudslides have pummelled parts of the east coast destroying roads, homes and bridges. rescuers have been working to evacuate the affected communities. this all comes weeks after a string of storms and cyclones hit other parts of southern africa killing 200 skbreem why was a russian major warship abandoned in the black sea. ukraine claims it hit it with missiles. claire sebastian will offer her explanation next.

welcome back to "cnn newsroom." i'm max foster. an update on the breaking news on russia's war in ukraine. russian forces continue to press down on kharkiv with a tensioning. video posted to social media appears to be cluster munitions exploding on the streets on sunday. cnn's reporter has the story. >> reporter: that is so close. those are russian positions. they're shelling towards us. we are just over a mile away from the russian forces. this is their route into kharkiv and on into the city. they are trying as hard as they

can to push that front line inwards. >> to the south russia claims more than 1,000 ukrainian marines have surrendered over the port city of mariupol. cnn can't confirm the reports. ukrainian officials say remaining officials have managed to link up and will fight to the end. meanwhile, they claim to have used antiship missiles in the black sea. russian state media dispute that saying the guided missile cruiser was abandoned after a fire detonated munitions on board. what we do know is that this flagship out of action which is significant in itself. >> yeah. that appears to be something that both sides agree on. there's been significant damage. the russian state media are citing reports saying it's been

evacuated. this is the flagship black sea fleet, the area sort of just south of crimea, critical sort of advantage point for russia in this war. it's damaging for their military capacity there as well as their reputation. it has already taken a hit here. conflicting reports. we have to be very careful because we haven't been able to identify. the weather is bad enough we haven't been able to pull up satellite and confirm the location of this ship. conflicting reports and in an area russia would deny and ukraine would make a lot of it. >> and it does benefit ukraine because perhaps those ships or that fleet will be more apprehensive about going close in now. >> there are two parts to that. it would one, according to experts, change the behavior if

ukrainian side proves right this is a missile strike. it would prove the capability. the missiles they say where they hit the ship are nep tunes, ukrainian developed missiles. this would be the first known use of them. that would certainly be a deterrent for russia, but on the other side this would be an escalation. if ukraine did hit russia's flagship vessel, that would be interpreted by russia as an escalation. that would create a dangerous moment. >> russia's talked about going for the power centers. if the ukrainians fire into russian territory, they could argue that a russian ship is russian territory and they could hit kyiv again? >> that's what they've said. they could hit decision-making centers in kyiv if they see what they call sabotage strikes.

there have been reports of that from the ukrainian side. we have thought kyiv was not sort of part of the new strategy of russia. they have now put it back on the table and i think a war swhp 500 crew is seen as a sort of sovereign island of russia and it could be seen by russia as an effort to continue. it could be weeks until sweden and finland decide to apply for membership in the alliance. the war in ukraine prompted the new talks. the move is especially important because if both countries become members, the length of the border of nato territories would nearly double. poland is currently home to the largest population of refugees from ukraine. more than half of the 4.6

million russians have provided shelling. we've been checking with you every day. what's the latest concern and processing there? >> reporter: you have over 2 1/2 million refugees cross into this country. we've started to see that flow of human beings slow down at the border. now comes the tough part. now comes the long-term planning of how you provide for these families. there's no one central point. you have 2.5 million people who have dissipated into the polish population. yesterday the polish president was in ukraine to lend his support and to highlight how the fate of these two nations is tied. >> this is not war, this is terrorism. if someone sends planes and soldiers to bomb residential

areas and kill civilians, that is not war, it is cruelty, banditry and terrorism. that is the face of russian aggression against the ukraine. we must never come to terms with it. >> reporter: now what happens inside ukraine deeply impacts what happens inside poland of course. those families are pleading when you hear of areas heavy hit and impacted. it might take a few days and time for corridors to open up. oftentimes they wind up here, max. they need support. they need help. they need a place to sleep. you are on the border of nato who feels it's on the front line of this conflict. >> on the ukraine/poland border. >> if you would like to help people go to cnn.com/impact. you'll find several ways you can help there. as far as north korean

anniversaries go, this is a big one. state media releasing videos of all of the festivities. there's a bigger surprise in store. we're live in seououl to find o. hot tub, why not? and of course, puppy-friendly.. we don't like to say perfect, but it's pretty p perfect. booking.com, booking.yeah.

this is xfinity rewards. our way of showing our appreciation. with rewards of all shapes and sizes. [ cheers ] are we actually going? yes!! and once in a lifetime moments. two tickets to nascar! yes! find rewards like these and so many more in the xfinity app.

most important day on the european calendar. friday marks the day of the sun which celebrates the birth of north korea's founding father. so far we're seeing cheering crowds, ribbon cutting and the pomp and circumstance shows the military. paula hancocks is live. >> reporter: that's usually what we're looking for, max, exactly. we don't know for sure what they will show us until they actually show us, like many things with north korea. you don't know until they tell you, but what we could see is

either an overnight kind of rally or parade but then again it could be some hours before we get images of that. what everybody is looking for is whether or not it will be specifically a military parade, whether or not there will be new military hardware that is going to be unveiled. quite often north korea does unveil new weapons systems at these kind of parades. what we've been seeing in the days in the run up to this very important anniversary as you say is things like concerts, performances. we've also seen kim jong-un, the leader, opening a number of different apartment blocks in one particular occasion which we had images of just today you saw it's apparently called a luxurious apartment complex. the pink lady makes the important announcements. she was with kim jong-un.

she was given one of these apartments hammering home that those who are loyal to this regime will be supported. there was a test of an intercontinent tall ballistic missile. since november 2017 the question now is will there be any kind of launch or test or will it simply be a parade? then again we could see some new weapons systems within that military parade. kim jong-un has been very transparent really. not usually a word you have ffor north korea. last january he gave a wish list if you like of the systems, the testing, the missiles he would like to perfect. we have been seeing over recent months that systematically he is going through those particular weapons systems. that icbm being one example, for example.

he wants to have a 15,000 kilometer icbm. that's about 9300 miles. so we are all waiting to see what exactly will happen, either overnight tonight or into friday local time. of course, it is a big day on any year in north korea. if it is an anniversary that ends in zero or 5, for some reason north korea will highlight that more. it's ten years since kim jong-un took power and became leader as well. a double whammy if you like for celebrations, max. >> paula, wait to see what comes out. thank you for joining us from seoul. china struggling to contain the coronavirus. despite china's zero covid policy, it's logged more than 350,000 new infections since

last month. the u.s. centers for disease control says the federal transportation mask mandate will be extended for another two weeks. these masks will still be required on planes, trains other parts of the u.s. the biden administration has cleared the way for the january 6th committee to get key documents in. president biden waived that suggesting it was the duty of the committee. paula reid has the details. >> reporter: a steady stream appearing before the house select committee investigating january 6th this week. on wednesday two of trump's top lawyers were set to meet with

investigators. pat cipiloni and patrick philbin were to sit for interviews. they are key witnesses. cipollone was pushing back about overturning the election results on january 6th. he also appeared to be mentioned in a january 5th text message from fox news host sean hannity to then white house chief of staff mark meadows. hannity suggested the white house council could leave. we're talking about members of trump's inner most circle. and former white house senior adviser stephen miller is expected to appear before the committee this week as well.

miller has previously sued to block a subpoena from the committee for his phone records. the committee has wanted to talk to him saying he spread misinformation around the presidential election and push officials to change the results. the committee has now conducted more than 860 depositions or interviews and will continue hearing from witnesses on a daily basis with a dozen more interviews expected to take place in the next few weeks. paula reid, cnn, washington. news just coming in to us here. another bus of migrants from texas has arrived in washington, d.c. texas governor greg abbott is sending buses of migrants to the city. new yorkers are known for being tough, but one shooter was on the loose spread fear through one of the largest subway systems. it was not unexpected.
