hello, welcome to our viewers in the united states and around the world. live in lviv, ukraine. where the coming hours maybe critical for the besieged city of mariupol. according to intercepted communication, russian troops plan to level a sprawling steel factory where the last remaining ukrainian fighters are set to make a final stand. >> i'm live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta. with the latest this hour on the

new era of maskless travel. a federal judge struck down the u.s. mandate. we will look at how the biden administration could fight to revive it. we begin in mariupol. where an agreement has been reached for russia to evacuate women, children and elderly from the city. by humanitarian corridor. a deputy prime minister making that announcement. that corridor set to open four hours from now. the russian defense ministry also offered an apparent cease fire for the last remaining ukrainian fighters in mariupol. but they said that proposal is nothing more than a demand for the surrender and those ukrainian fighters say they will not give up. russian state media released drone video of the city sprawling. steel factory where the ukrainian fighters are hold occupy. 1,000 civilians are also taking shelter inside the facility with

food and water in short supply. it intercepted communication from a rush commander threatening to level everything to the ground in the area. the press secretary says the u.s. is still holding out hope that the city will not fall to the russians. >> we're not willing to accept what some critic say is the inevidentability of it falling. they didn't take kyiv. and ukraine continues to fight over mariupol. >> russia assault on mariupol it a key part of the offensive in the heart land. meanwhile new video shows the damage to a shopping center and a grocery store. camera pans across the street revealing another building destroyed by military strikes. ever since the russian tanks began rolling across the border,

millions have been on the move. fleeing the country and leaving their homes just trying to find safety. during the chaos and brutality of the war, countless lives have been lost. families torn apart. there's no shortage of grief and heart ache. and for some there's also anguish. of not knowing if loved ones are alive or dead. cnn has the story of one son desperately searching for his dad. >> reporter: he is searching for answers in a place where answers were buried or bombed. he must find his father. he disappeared while helping a friend escape the war zone west of kyiv. he talked about it so light heartedly. i felt like everything would be all right. we didn't have information that civilians were being shot. i i wasn't worried. >> march 8, 8:00 in the morning you got seven texts from your

dad. >> he said he's going to drive here and meet me. to take his friend and to bring him to kyiv. >> what did you right back? >> i asked him to be careful. to care for himself. >> those were the last words father and son exchanged. he is joined by his father's friend. they're looking for his car. hunting for clues in the neighborhoods ravaged by russian forces. putting up pictures of the 48-year-old father of two boys. hoping someone has answers. unraveling the mystery of what happened to countless missing people is another horrific chapter in the war. in the after math of russia's siege around kyiv, they are on their own to find him.

how difficult is it to do this? so many days searching and searching and no answer. >> i don't know. i don't know words. because we don't know where he might be. >> this map shows the ground they have covered. looking for him. so far, every question leads to another dead end . >> that lead didn't help. then the men discovered four civilian cars scorched on a quiet road. inside, one of the cars, human

bones were visible. he thought one of the cars might be his dad. >> when you arrived here and saw this, what did you feel? >> i just cry. i don't see anything. because i cried. >> it wasn't his car. >> it's not his. >> do you still think you can find him alive? >> hope. hope dies last. >> the search continues for this father. who vanished in the war. >> joining me now, a journalist here in ukraine. and host of the ukraine pod cast. thank you for being with us. your pod cast ukraine without the hype. tell us what's one part of the story that we're missing? what are we not getting right?

>> thanks for having me. i think that coverage of this time around of the war has been a lot better than it has for the past eight years. one major part that i think is still unreported is how pervasive the lies spread by the putin regime in moscow are. even just now, you guys reported on the moscow regime calling for a cease fire as if it was an alternative position. there's nothing that they say that is truthful. every single word that comes out of their mouth is a lie and we have at least eight years of evidence in ukraine to prove that. i think focusing more on how this disinformation is so pervasive and not allowing the regime to have this ability to pass itself off as a another party in the conflict instead of

a malicious actor. trying to twist every bit of information to its benefit. i think would be another step up in coverage of this war. >> look at action not words. >> exactly. you cannot trust a single statement. what are the actions we have seen? humanitarian corridors shelled. we have seen eight years of their so called cease fires and agreement. repeatedly violated. the constant lies that the puppet authorities in the donbas are independent. referring to the so called republics. so there is nothing that they say that can be considered accurate. it is all quite simply another tool of war for them and tweeted accordingly. >> many of the experts now expect the conflict to settle into our blow for a blow of war.

if that happens, can ukraine go the distance with russia? do they have the ability to hang in there for any period of time? >> to be frank, i don't believe russia has the ability to settle into the kind of attrition based warfare that we have seen in the donbas for the past eight years. quite frankly at the moment, they are trying to accomplish incredibly complex maneuver. as a researcher i follow on twitter noted they are attacking from four different ax is with two military districts. one separate division it is in operational structure they have not operated with since at least the second word world war. none of the generals were commanding staff at all have experience with it. i think what we're going to see instead are more mistakes, more casualties. and the intensification of such

on the russian side. making them unable to really accomplish their goals because again, we have seen how poor their logistics are and uncoordinated they are. and they're expecting to pull off this incredibly complex procedure. it does spring early they can do this. >> how is it that vladimir putin continues to under estimate the determination and resolve and resilience of the ukrainian people? >> this is something that any ukrainian can tell you that the russian leadership from the time of the has never understood ukrainian independence. they have never acknowledged that ukraine is truly a separate nation. a separate culture and language. this is just not something they are capable of understanding. for them, ukraine is small russians. belarus. and that's it.

ukrainians are incapable of being governored independently. and the only way is because we get foreign support. we get western support. so they simply cannot anderson cooper they simply cannot acknowledge. they have done this many times and this time finally, they're not going to succeed. we had 30 years of independence and we're not giving it up ever again. >> wish you the best of the luck. host of ukraine without the hype pod cast. thank you. appreciate you being with us. the united states working quickly to get more weapons into the hands of ukrainian troops. according to a senior u.s. defense official. white house sources say there will be another weapons package for ukrainian. $800 million. that was approved last week. cnn has more now from the pentagon.

>> it used to take weeks or months to ship weapons to another country. especially through presidential draw down authority. which is when the u.s. ships its own military stocks to another country. now, during the ongoing russian invasion of ukraine, a senior defense official says they're working around the clock, 24/7 to get the shipments reviewed, approved and sent. as quickly as possible. that includes what it can generally be a long process. it starts with conversations between the u.s. and another country. of course ukraine in this case. then u.s. checks its own stocks to see what's available. what can be sent. it gets a recommendation from the chairman of the joint chiefs as well as analysis on what affect it would have on military readiness and requires presidential approval and secretary of state. before it come back to the pentagon to actually begin the process of shipping the weapons. that process compressed to as little as humanly possible to get it done.

to ship weapons to ukraine as they need not only small arms ammunition but the other weapons and equipment to stay in the fight. the u.s. knows this is a priority. they know the almost insatiable need of ukrainian forces in this fight against russia and trying to make it go as quickly as humanly possible. a process that's down to 48 to 72 hours from beginning to end to start shipping weapons. we see it with for example last weeks approval of $800 million from the biden administration to ship to ukraine. within days, that has begun shipping. a separate senior defense official saying five flights have got in. another seven expected in the next 24 hours. that speaks to the speed ask at which the shipments and weapons and packages of equipment are moving. after the break, my friend and colleague will be with us we details on shanghai covid death rate and why it's raising questions about the authenticity

masks in indoor transportation settings for now. the covid death toll in china is rising. chinese health officials say at least 17 people have now died from covid-19. in shanghai. since the current out break started. seven new deaths reported on tuesday alone. most of the city has been under lock down for weeks. as china doubles down on its zero covid policy. the lock down has sparked widespread anger, crippled supply chains and resulted in shortages of food and essential supplies. cnn is following this story for us. joining us live from hong kong. good to see you. more covid deaths reported in shanghai although the number seem strangely low for a city of 25 million. what is the latest on this? >> it's interesting. you have the lock down chinese megacity of shanghai reporting more deaths caused by covid-19

earlier today reporting an additional seven deaths from the virus. so the total official death toll is 17. that's it. in this city of 25 million people. it was monday earlier this week shanghai reported its first three fatalities in the ongoing massive out break that infected some half a million people in shanghai. so that is made a number of people wonder what's going on here? especially experts here in hong kong. hong kong has been going through a very brutal fifth wave of infection at the peak of infection here in the city, this city was reporting more deaths than any other country or territory around the world. why is shanghai different? let's bring up a statement. from a top viralologist. saying this on the mainland if the deceased had under lying ailments most would have died of other diseases. so in china, they count them differently. >> meanwhile in hong kong, where you are, cases maybe falling but the city still trying to keep the virus out by suspending more

flights. what's the latest on that? >> the covid cases are falling. here in hong kong. but travel, air travel in and out of the city remains very very difficult. because authorities here are banning flights for carrying infected passengers. around a dozen flights operated by around ten different airlines have been affected by the ban. let's bring up this graphic. you can see all the airlines affected by this ban. they include pacific. singapore, qatar. a single flight came from outside the asian pacific region an emirates flight. this added an extra layer of frusation. and continues to erode the international aviation status. international business status of hong kong. >> all right. live from hong kong, many thanks. the united nations secretary general is condemning the deadly

atakes on two schools in afghanistan. at least six people were killed and dozens injured following three explosions in a neighborhood in western kabul. no one has claimed responsibility for the attacks yet. the u.s. state department also condemned the attacks and said all afghan children deserve to pursue their studies without fear of violence. still to come, new hope for the ten of thousands of people who remain trapped in the besieged port city of mariupol in ukraine. those details next. and i love the science behind neuriva plus. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva plus fuels six key indicators o of brain performan. more brain performance? yes, please! neuriva. think bigger.

welcome back, everyone. live in lviv, ukraine. officials say they have reached an agreement with the russians for a humanitarian corridor to evacuate women, children and elderly from the city of mariupol. corridor set to open at 2:00 p.m. local time. three and a half hours from now. it's the same deadline the russian defense ministry set for ukrainian soldiers still fighting in mariupol to lay down weapons and ammunition and leave. or face the prospect of death. ukrainian forces have already declined two offers to surrender and vow to fight until the en. most consolidated in the massive steel factory. hundreds of civilians are also taking shelter with them. and 500 wounded soldiers who are

in need of urgent proper medical attention. ukrainian official says food and water are in short supply. within that steel factory. cnn is live for us this hour in brussels for another part of the story. and another high ranking official making that long journey from brussels to kyiv for a photo op with zelenskyy? what's going on? >> conversation with zelenskyy. very likely. not too many details being given by the european council. here of course the president of the european council the european parliament president was one of the first european leaders to visit several weeks ago. followed by the european commission president. and the top diplomat if you will. have all been. so michelle the last in the sort of european union leadership if you will.

this like the other visits that have come prior, it's pharovide moral support and reassurance that the european union is behind ukraine. one of the things that came out of the phone conversation that president biden had yesterday with european union leader with france, germany, italy, romania, poland, the uk, canada, japan also on the call. one of the things that came out of the that was what sort of security guarantees can be given to ukraine. to help it find a peace deal with russia. should that moment arrive and it's not close. but the model that is being looked at is a nato model or sort of a stronger binding to the european union? and commitment coming that way from eu nations. the view from paris, yesterday,

following that phone call president macron on the call, was that security guarantees can be given but perhaps not along the lines of strong as nato article five of all nato nations coming to support ukraine. if it were attacked again. undoubtedly these will be part of the conversation scoping out what it is in the longer term that european union nations and michelle the one who sits with the european union leaders. when they gather at the counsel. to sort of see what ukraine can be willing to tolerate. it doesn't appear what they want the strong nato close to article 5 level of security guarantee is on the table. so we can expect that to be discussed. again, the details of what's going to come up today, how long the meetings will last, where they'll be, that's all under wraps at the moment.

>> can't keep them away from kyiv. they keep coming. international monetary fund calling for more help to rebuild ukraine. and try to keep the country economy afloat. scheduled to meet thursday with ukraine prime minister and finance minister to discuss financial support. like an earthquake rattling the global economy. we details reporting from london. >> the economic effects of the war in ukraine are spreading far and wide. that's the main reason that ifm slashed the forecast for economic growth to 3.6% for this year and next. it reflects 0.8% downgrade for this year from the last forecast only made in january. now unsurprisingly the greatest impact will be in ukraine. warning of a double digit contraction of 35% this year.

and for russia's economy to shrink by 8%. all of this is the baseline situation. if sanctions on russia were to escalate. with energy being targeted. they see a much greater shock. it would be punishing for russia with additional 15% drop by 2027. it would also drag global gdp down by 2% this year. with energy, metal and food prices continuing to climb. for europe huge reliance on russian energy. it would be a 3% drop. which is why sanctions on russian energy remain a hotly debated issue. for eu member states. anna stewart, cnn, london. after the break my friend and colleague will have details on a decisive vote in france.

in several hours france's presidential candidates will face each ore in a debate days before the run off election. jim is in paris and joining us now with the latest. good to see you. how important is this presidential debate for most french voters and what are they hoping to hear that might possibly sway their vote at this juncture? >> i think a couple things going on. first the debates have made a difference in the past. we have seen in 1988 for example, when president was squaring off against the prime minister. he demeaned him throughout the debate referring to him as mr. prime minister. never as his name. he never mentioned his name. a number of occasions got you moments during the debates in the past. something like 20% of according to some polls here, of voters here have not yet made up their

mind and maybe influenced by this debate. they're waiting to see. if we can go by past performances back in 2017, the last time these same two people faced off against each other, about a quarter of the french population were watching that battle on television. and it was widely said that le pen in fact lost that debate. she became discomforted and her tone raised kind of alarm. and she actually acknowledges that and says she mess ds up because of the fact that she had been campaigning too hard and she was tired. this time around she's taking two days off before the debate. and going over her notes and relaxing trying to stay calm. and where as macron is also going over his notes even though he's ahead in the poll. by some as much as ten to eleven

points. he's prepping hard for this debate because he expects to get a lot of criticism unlike the last time he now has a track record. so he can be criticized on that record. >> all right. we shall wait and see what happens as a result of the debate. of course, the vote on sunday. jim bitterman live from paris. for our international viewers inside africa is next. everyone here in the united states, do stay with us, i'll be back with more news after a short break.

the u.s. justice department says if the centers for disease control determines that masks are necessary for public health, it will appeal to revive the mask mandate. u.s. judge struck down the mask mandate for public transportation taking airlines and passengers by surprise. major airlines quickly made masks optional. but not all city transit systems and airports followed suit. we have the report. >> reporter: in what appears to be a large scale unmasking, masks are now flying off the

faces of travelers across the country. after a federal ruling struck down mask mandates for public transportation. >> masks now optional for employees, customers. it's all up to you. enjoy the fresh air. >> the ruling came monday from florida u.s. district judge. a 2020 trump nominee saying the cdc exceeded its authority. the announcement sparks celebration monday on airplanes around the country. as the mask mandates were lifted for travelers midflight. >> no more masks. >> beyond the initial cheers, the rule reversal prompted a wide variety of reaction. from new york -- >> i took it off right away. >> to los angeles. >> i lost my grandmother to covid a year ago.

i'm very particular about the masks. so i'm going to continue to wear it. no matter what the mandate is. >> in chicago, one couple said the timing of the announcement worked out perfectly for them. >> i'm going on my honeymoon. i'm glad everybody can see the smile on our faces. >> the changes created frustration and uncertainty for some travelers. >> i feel like it's a little too soon maybe. >> i would rather be proactive. >> we're still in the middle of a pandemic. we should be wearing masks in public spaces. >> the lifting of the mandate prompted delta airlines to issue a statement expressing relief that quote covid-19 has transitioned to an ordinary seasonal virus. but the white house challenged that statement leading delta to change its language today. calling covid-19 quote a more manageable respiratory virus. with better treatment, vaccines, and other scientific measures to

prevent serious illness. the white house had hoped to keep the travel mandate for another two weeks. cnn, chicago. the u.s. and panama have signed a an agreement to improve the management of migration between the two countries. create more legal path ways for migrants. on a visit to panama, america's top diplomat called the agreement a priority for the u.s. and thanked panama leaders for their cooperation. his remarks come as the biden administration faces fierce criticism from republicans and democrats alike over its immigration policy. some of the backlash is a as a result of president biden's decision to lift what's known as title 42. next month. the pandemic era policy allowed for the quick deportation of hundreds of thousands of migrants citing a public health crisis. on tuesday, the homeland security secretary told cnn his

department is actively preparing for a potential increase in migrants when title 42 is lifted. but didn't elaborate on what plans are being made. out rage is growing in florida. over the governor's proposed redrawing of the states voting map. it's been done in a way that would help his republican party pick up several u.s. house seats. in the next election. while hurting democrats and minority districts. protests were held in the state capitol tuesday. we report from tallahassee. >> a special session here in the state of florida to approve new congressional maps is now urnds way and could have major implications onts 2022 and 2024 elections. the republican legislature approved maps that likely would give republicans an advantage. but protected minority districts. but the republican governor desantis vetoed the maps that

were passed by his own party. he instead offered a new map proposal last week. one that does give the republicans an advantage but also diminished minority districts. currentsly there are five black members of congress from florida. four of those are democrats. and the map proposed by would likely eliminate two of the seats. now redistricting is a process done every ten years in the united states. that determines what communities are represented by each member of congress. it's crucial in political representation. democrats say that desantis is essentially neutralizing the black vote and black representation. desantis says he used a quote race neutral method. and he feels that not only does it adhere to the u.s. constitution but didn't violate the u.s. voting rights act.

again democrats and voting rights activists say they feel this would be a clear violation of the voting rights act also the florida state constitution. which requires the protection of minority districts. those maps will likely pass out by the end of the week and be signed into law by the governor after that they will inevitably end up in court. florida governor is taking aim at the walt disney company calling on lawmakers to strip the company of its ability to operate as an independent government around its orlando, florida theme park. republicans in florida including desantis have been at odds with disney since the company ceo spoke out against lawmakers for passing legislation that prohibits schools from teaching children about sexual orientation. and gender identity. also announced a stop to all

future political donations in florida. state republicans have introduced a pair of new bills for approval that could end disney's atonmy in the state but june 1 next year. one of disneys main rivals just took a big hit. netflix says it lost 200,000 subscribers in the first quarter of the year. company blames factors from increase competition, rising inflation, and russia's war on ukraine. to user sharing their account pass words with roughly 100 million other households and netflix expects to lose even more subscribers. two million in the next quarter. following the news it stock dropped 25% in after hours trading. just as the summer drives season approaches in the u.s., forecasters are warning gas prices may tick up again. triple a says a steady decline in the national average price

>> depp was not referred to by name in her piece. still, depp claims it led to financial losses for him including being dropped from future pirates of caribbean films after he led the franchise for 15 years. >> there were arguments and things of that nature. that never did i myself reach the point of striking miss heard in any way. nor have i ever struck any woman in my life. heard posted a note in the advance of the current deaf nation trial on her social media writing in part i never named depp. rather i wrote about the price women pay for speaking against men in power. i continue to pay that price but
