thank you for joining us around the world, i am isa suarez. the u.s. says it has evidence of

russia's barbaric attack on the field. i am melissa church, i will have the news around the world and including millions are doubling down on china's covid policy. welcome to the show everyone. the battle control of eastern ukraine is teeing up. intense fire. another region facing growing att attacks. this video is on the strike in the hospital in severodonetsk. one woman reported dead. the hospital is still under going despite suffering significant damages as you can see there. russia intensifies its offense

in the east. russian president vladimir putin is making a stop as well as direct threat about foreign interference in ukraine. have a listen. >> if someone intends to intervene of what's happening outside, creates a threat for us, they should know our response to oncoming strike will be swift and lightning fast. we have all the tools for this. one that no one can brag about. we won't brag. we'll use them if needed. >> now his threat came shortly after three explosions inside rus russian's troops bordering ukraine. ukraine have not said whether they are responsible for the blast. those are not the only explosions under russian control.

this is in the russian occupied city of kherson in southern ukraine. the blast was caused by three missiles fired by ukrainian forces. we have not had any con fir nafirmation from ukraine. joining me now is nadia bashir. good morning to you. clearly another threat from vladimir putin. how much should the u.s. position that ukrainians went in and they want the russians to weaken here. >> we are hearing putin stepping up of the rhetoric, looting of the use of tactical weapons. we heard from john secretary describing these remarks from president putin as irresponsible

rhetoric. this is not the first time vladimir putin suggested of their forces using nuclear weapon. coming away from the meeting, he was not sure if vladimir putin will resort into using such weapon if he found himself to be cornered. he noted that he felt putin was aware that he could use the threat of these weapons, tactical nuclear weapons against the international community. a kremlin spokesperson peskov have said russia will use such weapon if the existence of the state are at stake. just here in the u.k. yesterday, warning allies they could be in this fight with russia for the long haul, urging allies to step

up their support for ukraine particularly on the military front. take a listen. >> the war in ukraine is our war. it is everyone's war because ukraine's victory is a strategic imperative for all of us. heavy weapons and tanks and airplanes, digging deep in our production, we need to do all of this. >> now this is particularly significant with the focus as well on the supply of war planes to ukraine. there has long been a call from president zelenskyy, we have seen the last few days, the u.k. and canada stepping up their military support. germany is now pledging antiaircraft tanks to ukraine. they're all diplomatic efforts ongoing. we are continuing to see the heavy bombardment over ukraine. that calls for further support that'll be intensified over the

coming days. we have from the u.n. secretary general guiterres speaks to cnn. >> he'll be meeting with president zelenskyy. >> nadar bashir. thank you. according to the u.s., it happened in the donbas region of eastern ukraine at the united nations on wednesday. the u.s. ambassador at large for global justice says u.s. has credible reports of civilians killed execution style, torture and sexual violence against women and girls. >> let us be clear, those unleashed perpetrators and ordered these crimes must be held to account. the evidence of this criminality is mounting daily.

our simple message to russia's military and political leadership and the rank and file is this. the world is watching. you will be held accountable. >> intense russian attack in east ukraine met some of the most vulnerable and desperate and as well as trapped. trying to hold onto any normal life as they can. but with shelling constantly going down that's impossible. our sam kiley foinds out. >> reporter: on the front line with russia. it is an artillery front line. >> let's get into the statement. >> reporter: local police are delivering eight civilians unable to lever. there is no time to wait out. of the bombardment.

we need delivery and fast. there were three people next door including a granny at 92 and up there is a bedridden woman. she says normally they stay and use the basement when it is bad. thank you for not forgetting us, she adds. the urgency of these deliveries can't be exaggerated. just here, mostly old people and one gentleman dying of cancer in front of his wife. since they have been here, they have been five or six impact very closes. every corner and every bit of this local neighborhood got a sign of recent impact. the russians are just a kilometer or three kilometers away. the russians' guns are so close, you can hear their shelling. from kyiv to mariupol and kharkiv to kyiv, this is the russian way of war.

po pounding civilians and flatten facilities. we are in danger now, they're shelling us and it could come in any moment. we try to hide there in the bomb shelter. two months of war have driven these people underground and there is no end in sight. >> the fear as he confesses. he tries to keep inside but he creeps out. >> there is one more delivery that the police forgot to make. every time we try to get out the front door of this building, there is another impact. they're saying the hospital near by is under heavy shelling. we were planning to go there

you, we can't get through or at this moment we can't get out of this bunker. the hospital was hit. images done this morning posted online by the local administration. one sifrcivilian were killed ane injured and several floors damaged badly. this woman asks, only for the basics of existence. >> you do this every day? >> yes. >> most people left now have nowhere else to go. they live their all their lives and don't want to abandon their homes. >> do you think the russianss are going to take over? >> never , he says. we'll stand our ground until the last man. no one will leave here. >> that may be dangerous. it is likely ukrainians will destroy this bridge to holdup

the invasion. anyone still here would be trapped in russian's hands. sam kylie, cnn. powerful report there from sam kiley. more than 5 million ukraines have been able to flee the war and 20,000 have fled to moldova. >> good morning to you. give us a sense of what you and your team had been seeing on the ground. >> good morning and you mentioned there the numbers that have come into moldova and we are sensing 100,000 refugees in m moldova here at the moment. many are hoping to return to ukraine as soon as they can.

ukrainians here in lviv who have moved back. who says i don't want to be away from my husband. i want to be back and be home. to find schools and housing. are you hearing stories of people wanting to come back? >> absolutely. we hear the same stories here. we have witnessed some family's returns across the board and from molt moldova to ukraine. >> that's back to the point on decision that people need to make somehow and are forced to make. i happen to be in lviv myself last week. that story we heard. >> we are also seeing is that people going to ukraine and coming back at the border to

moldova if the situation is not good to stay for always. it is ad dynamic and fluid concept. we have 100,000 refugees in our country. that's the most per capita from any country frs this crisise as well. >> we are also preparing ourselves if there are further influx. we have to provide safe combination to the people and water. >> on that point, conner, what are your biggest scrutiny right now? >> i think our needs currently that we continue to meet the essential needs of refugee families and services and

providing cash assistance and we are providing food and hygiene assistance to families. we'll continue to do that. we are two months into the crisis now. we need to reading to meet con fir confi confirmation. >> the needs for support. particularly coming into this summer and also that supports far host of a community. moldova has hopened their heart to refugees and hosting refugees as well. such an important point. >> conner o' loughlin thank you.

down and inside out. the actions of donald trump and many republican members of the house around where the january 6th insurrection were inappropriate, if not illegal. and he a tap on the right or acknowledging it. the issue is not so much whether he survives in his quest to be speaker which i think is more likely than not. what he would have to todo to sur survive? what is any he's giving with regards to the 2024 elections. it is more can you stand up with the basic rules of democracy and still a assailant in this pocket. >> let's look at that. what are the optics of this and what impact could it potentially

have with the republican unity. with the midterm election just months ago. >> i am going to tell you all you need know. mccarthy is being forced to say his comments are taken out of context or he didn't mean it. what it tells you is something we have been talking about over the year. extremest wing in the coalition has become too big to fail. too big to confront. that has always been the critical issue. are there any meaningful sliez of republican voters who'll take the same stance and this is apart of the portion that's isolated and exile. it has a huge impact on 2022 and 2024. so far you would say the answer

is no. mccarthy is facing no push back. there are no signs of republican voters recoiling candidates embracing the big lie and that's going to be a critical factor in the power going forward. >> ron , thank you. rudy giuliani is expected to meet to investigate the january 6 insurrection. >> one of the main players in trying to overthrow the election results spreading false information and conspiracy theories. the u.s. government says 20,000 ukrainians have entered the u.s. through its southern bodder. that prompted the department of homeland security to warn s civilians to apply a asylum from

and the brutal invasion of russia by ukraine. this parliament have been resolute and falling on my discussions with president zelenskyy just over three weeks ago that there was need for more support. there was need for more effective sassistance to ukrain. we'll continue to call further sanctions and this will continue to discuss next week. this will parliament will continue to build on the momentum of this. unprecedented coordination that we have which is extremely important because we share the fundamental values and we share our defense if you can say that and all that ukraine's rights to
