hello and welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. i'm in lviv, ukraine. this country has been working for weeks. now russia prepares for a new offensive in eastern ukraine, the first u.s. shipment due to arrive within hours. among those, helicopters which were specifically requested by ukraine's president. moscow this week formally

addressed it predicting unpredictable consequences if they continue. some within the biden administration says after almost two months of this conflict. russian forces around the capital kyiv is allowing ukrainian authorities to finally see the full scope of russia's brutal occupation. a warning, the images you're about to see are disturbing and graphic. the police report more than 900 civilian bodies, 900, have been recovered so far in areas surrounding the capital. some show signs of torture before being shot in the back of the head. besides discovering bodies down wells, there are a number of victims buried by rubble left by russian shelling. the extent of civilian casualties across ukraine may not be known for many weeks, if ever. over the last 24 hours, the city of mykolaiv appears to be the target of multiple russian attacks. they fired cluster munitions

into residential areas. ed lavendera is there. >> reporter: the cluster of explosions jolted this residential neighborhood in mykolaiv friday morning. witnesses say some people were walking their dogs in a park at the time. one of the munitions struck just feet away from an orthodox church. >> you can see the impact shot that went off this morning. as you look around here, you can see the impact and the damage done to this church here as well. multiple people were killed and more than a dozen others injured. paramedics treated victims on the scene. across the street, under the shattered windows of an apartment building, there man told us he help drag two injured people into a store for safety. >> translator: noise. the noise of a rocket flying and explosions. that's what i saw and heard when i was in the shop. people run into the store and i saw people scared. i saw people dropping to the

ground from explosions. >> reporter: the sounds of explosions inside the city started around mid morning and appeared to strike at least three different locations. mykolaiv authorities released this video of a private home burning after a rocket strike. mykolaiv strikes come as residents in southern ukraine are worried about russian retaliation for the sinking of the moskva warship in the black sea and russia's renewed offensive in eastern ukraine. in recent days, cnn has witnessed long quois of families fleeing russian occupied areas near mykolaiv. this bombing struck a densely populate area. she says she was brushing her hair when the bomb landed just outside her apartment window. the blast shattered the glass and shattered her sense of peace.

did you think something would happen to you? "i didn't think of anything," she tells me. "i thought that was the end." it has crippled the infrastructure. the water has been out for three days, forcing hundreds of people to get water from a river and natural spring. this man evacuated his mother and plans to stay in the city to fight off the russians. how worried are you that the russians are getting closer? "it worries me a lot," he tells me. "we're getting ready, but if the russians are close, i will fight them." for now, residents are left to clean up the bloody aftermath, and brace for the next attack. ed lavandera, cnn, ukraine. >> in an exclusive interview with cnn, ukraine's president spoke about the of the russian warship the moskva saying it would reduce russia's military capability but he would not go

into detail about how they were able to sink the pride of the russian navy. let's also explain about the heart ache he feels about ukrainians facing the senseless deaths of loved ones. >> the one that ukrainian soldiers told to f off, it sank. the russians say, and the russians are liars. but the russians say it sank on its own. can you offer some clarity and evidence as to what happened to that ship? >> translator: we know it does not exist anymore. for us, it is a strong weapon against our country. so it sinking is not a tragedy for us. i want the u.s. and the rest of the people to realize that. the less weapons the russian federation has, the better for us. the less capable they are. this is important. and about what happened to it,

the history will tell. >> do you have any idea how many ukrainian soldiers or civilians have been killed? >> i know. >> how many? >> translator: as of now, based on the information we have, because it's very difficult to talk about civilians, since south of our country, the area to the east, we just don't know how many people have died in that area that is blocked. let's take this as an example. as other towns are empty, they're all destroyed.

there are no people there. so it's difficult to talk about it now. as to our military, out of the numbers we have, we think that we lost 2,500 to 3,000. in comparison with the russian military, who lost about 19,000 to 20,000. that's the comparison. but we have about 10,000 injured. it's hard to say how many will survive. >> i'm sure you have seen the video of the ukrainian mom finding her son, and her sorrow. her crying. just is devastating to hear. and you have seen a lot of

videos like that. what is it like for you as the president of this country to see those videos, to hear the crying of the moms? >> translator: this is the scariest i've seen in my life, in principle. i look at this first of all as a father. it hurts so, so much. it's a tragedy. it's suffering. i won't be able to imagine the scale of suffering of these people, of this woman. it is a family's tragedy. it's a disaster. the dreams and the life you just lost. we live for our kids. kids are the best we are given by god and by family. it's a great pain for me. all you want is revenge and to kill.

i have to watch as the president of the state where a lot of people have died, and there are millions of people who want to live. all of us want to fight, but we all have to do our best for this war not to be endless. the longer it is, the more we would lose. all these losses will be just like that one. >> that's just part of jake tapper's exclusive interview with president zelenskyy. the war in ukraine prompting an urgent plea from the world food program. they say urgent coordinate action is needed now. according to the u.n., world food prices jumped to their highest level ever in march. keep this in mind. the food program say both ukraine and russia are responsible for nearly 30% of the global wheat output. so geopolitical events like war, pandemics, global supply chain issues, all make it harder to access food. the threat is the highest for

poorer countries with a large share of consumption from food imports. we are joined by david beasley, the executive director of the world food program. >> thank you for coming. you just got back from kyiv. i wonder right now. we'll get to the crisis on the food in a moment. what did you see in bucha? what are your impressions? >> 80% of them are in war zones. we're used to seeing destruction and war. what i saw in booxa was just horrifying. you can understand that tanks have been blown up and exploded. when you see homes, i walked spoke a place that was, an orphanage that was decimated. land mines, oh, don't walk there. you may hit a land mine. why in the world would this be happening in residential neighborhoods? you just can't believe this is taking place. >> the orphanage and the mines. you can't believe it.

it is horrendous what has been happening. what is also horrendous is what is about to happen. we all know this crisis is coming. a crisis with world food supply. if nothing is done, it will be a catastrophe. what are you hearing? is there any movement around the world? world leaders, donors, whatever, trying to fix this crisis of food availability. >> yeah. everybody talks about the unpredictability of what will happen in ukraine with the military offensive. i can tell what you is very predictable, we're going to have a very serious global food crisis over the next 12 months. ukraine and russia alone produce 30% of the world's wheat. we eat 20% of the world's corn, 75, 80% of cooke oil. like sunflower cooking oil. 50% of the wheat we buy, of the grains that we buy to feed 125 million people around the world comes from inside ukraine alone. ukraine, the farmers inside this nation who are now on the battle

fronts, not in the fields, produce enough food to feed 400 million people. so when you compound that with fuel prices going up, commodity prices going up, shipping prices going up, you can see an immediate crisis and a long term crisis. >> so when you go to european capitals, you speak to european leaders in the u.s. and elsewhere, do you explain this is a crisis that will affect their countries as well? it is in their own interests. >> you need to address these issues in ukraine. if you don't, let me explain what will be in your national security interests. here's what is about to happen. this is not just one or two things. we have a compounding dynamic of many factors converging into a perfect storm right now as we speak from droughts in the midwest in the united states, droughts in the heart of africa, droughts in china. and you start adding all these factors together. you begin to realize, we've got

a catastrophe on top of a catastrophe. it is one thing if we don't get the grain to reach 125 million we reach. but this is going to affect 7.8 billion people on planet earth. >> is it possible for countries like canada, australia, the u.s., big grain producers, to compensate for the losses here? >> that's what i'm talking to them about now. as i explain the reality we're facing, if we can't get the ports open in ukraine, if we can't get the ports open. we've got 30 million metric tons of grains and foods stuck right now in the black sea. if we can open that up, that will alleviate a lot of pressure. it will impact global food security. what i'm asking the leaders around the world to do, you have to evaluate all that you have in your country to offset the harvesting that will take place. and i don't think it is a likelihood. it is a guarantee, you're going

to have a major decrease in production. >> asking the billionaires, the elon musks and the jeff bezos. they've made so much money that they could afford to spare a few billion. there is a lot of billion dollars sitting in frozen assets owned by oligarchs and the russian president and the russian federation itself. can you get access tom? >> we would love that, whatever we could get. they made loot of money during covid. they made an average of $5.2 net increase per day during covid. i need about two days of your increase to alleviate the problem. if we don't get the moneys we need, it is not just that people in ukraine will suffer, what will happen, you will have starvation, you'll have destabilization of several nations, and you're going to have mass migration.

it will cost a thousand time more than than if we could get in it advance. there's $4 trillion in welt these days. >> give us a number. how much? >> worldwide, about $6 to $8 billion. >> a drop in the bucket for these people. >> a couple days. net increase. what's the problem here? >> good point. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. appreciate it. we will take a short break. when we come back, south african officials are talking about the storm in south africa. 15 minutes past the hour.

hello. thank you for joining us here. the death toll from severe flooding alongside sank's east coast this week has risen to 395. over 40,000 people have been affected. have a look here. these images are from the city of durban, one of the hardest hit areas. officials are scrambling to repair infrastructure. forecasters warn more rain and

damaging winds are expected in the region through saturday evening. for more on this, let's bring in malcolm, a senior official with the metropolitan municipality which includes the city of durban. he joins us now from durban. thank you for being here with us. i've lived in south africa. i've never seen anything like this before. just put what is happening right now in context for us. >> thank you for inviting me to communicate with you on this important matter that has affected not only our metro but our province. for americans, it is a state in your geography. we've had four or five days of intensive rain. it was just over the municipality. we had lots of inundags.

the ground, the water table was already fairly high. in addition, the water that came from the sky as such, caused lots of softness of the soil, and subsequently, many land slides. we've seen, this is the first time we've seen such bad devastation. it has been land slide, land slip, one after the other. and with that is not only just arterial roads and major routes closed to traffic. we've had wash aways of places, and consequently, displacement as we've never seen before. you mentioned 40,000. we presume it will escalate given that we haven't been able to access all the areas. the reason being that we've had so many land slips and some of the areas are still

inaccessible. i add that it caused major infrastructure damage. our supply of water and our supply of electricity has been hampered again in order to get to the points where there has been damage, one has to stabilize the soil in order to undertake repair. so the disaster just caused by the rain has been compounded now by the infrastructural impact, and in the lack of supply to residents. >> let me jump in if you wouldn't manld. i want to get to the human stories. too often we interpret the disasters through the math, the number of dead, the cost of the damage. so many lives here have been shattered. family members right now missing, children have lost their lives. what hit you the most about what you've seen on the ground? >> well, i think the issue is

very personal. everybody knows of somebody who has been affected. either through loss of life or by being displaced and loss of all their goods. so there are very harrowing tales which cut to the heart when one listens to what has happened on the ground. families wiped out. one in a family, ten in a family. bodies that have not yet been recovered because they are covered with the amounts of soil and to find them is an arduous task. the issues we have, w111 wards n our municipality. each has been affected. to prioritize one over the other is a very difficult task to do when residents on the ground are calling for assistance. so it is the loss of life that has been the worst. in the case of a father who would refuse to leave his young son, carried him all the way up the hill until the service

system, mortuary services could come collect him. and he got into the back of the van with him to make sure the other deceased people in the van would not fall on to his son. he traveled the whole journey just to protect his son. not only through life but also in death. harrowing stories. >> gosh, just absolutely heart-breaking to hear stories like that. and unfortunately, there are so many of them. we have to leave it there unfortunately but we wish you the best of luck in dealing with the recovery in this horrible tragedy, which will take months, if not years to fully recover from. malcolm in durban, south africa. thank you so much. >> thank you. all right. we'll take a short break. we'll take you back to john live in lviv for more of our coverage of the war in ukraine. stay with us. wow, firstst time? check out this backpacack i made for marco.

a u.s. government source said for weeks, people have been entering ukraine at the southern border. the source tells us that minors fly into mexico and then make their way into the u.s. border. the relatives in the u.s. may meet them in mexico if they try to cross the borders without their parents, they're considered unaccompanied. in a statement, the resettlement office says it will care for the minors until they're released to a sponsor. this comes as the biden administration plans to roll out a program to semiukrainian

refugees in the u.s. it would expedite the process for those fleeing into the u.s. ukrainians aren't the only people trying to get through the u.s. to the u.s., to mexico. one migrant says all migrants should be treated the same. >> translator: they should let us in. we're also fleeing. it is different what we're running from but it is still a war. a war against gangs. >> the texas governor greg abbott has signed agreements with four mexican state governors on border security. the plan is to enhance security measures on the mexican side which will scale back commercial vehicle inspections at the border crossing and that would ease the log jam we've been seeing lately. this starts as there are protests at the end of a covid restriction the blocked most asylum seekers from entering the u.s. the reporter was there with
