strikes on kyiv, happened tonight. you ukraine's emergency service says one missile set an apartment building on fire. ten people were injured. mr. zelensky said that attack took place after he was meeting with the u.n. chief who was unharmed. standing alongside the ukrainian president, he pledged to do all he can to achieve peace. have a listen. >> this war must end. and peace must be established in line with a charter of operations and international law. many leaders have made many efforts to stop the fighting. but these efforts so far, have not succeeded. i'm here to say to you, mr. president, and for the people of ukraine, we will not give up. >> russia isn't making much
11:02 pm
headway in its renewed offensive in the east. the u.s. defense official, reporting russia's progress, slow and uneven. this as president zelensky said ten russian services have been identified as suspects of crimes committed in bucha. that's where scores of civilians were found dead after russians pulled out. mr. zelensky is vowing to hold those responsible accountable. >> translator: we know all of the details now and their actions. and we will find everyone. just as we will find all of the other russian thugs who killed and tortured ukrainians, who tormented the people, and destroyed houses and civilian infrastructure in ukraine. >> the residents say russian tanks just made their way from the homes. they've been testing ukrainian defenders who control the town.
11:03 pm
>> reporter: if moscow had any surprises left in this war, it is along here. the other side of the river has been russia's for weeks. but here, the western side, is caught in the fast-changing landscape of this week's push. that's the prize over there, the river. up past which on the left side bank here, the russians are trying to push, wanting control of both sides of that part of ukraine. here, we are told there are a handful of russian tanks just over a kilometer away on its outskirts, pushing, probing, but ultimately kept at bay by ukrainian forces that still hold the town. resilience here embodied under the threat of rocket fire, planting onions. i'm here until victory, she said.
11:04 pm
her children have gone. just her and her mother. okay. her 80-year-old mother and her are staying here. her mother said she's not going anywhere and she's not going to leave her alone. all her windows are blown out, she says. ukrainian forces who don't want their positions filmed are dotted around the town. as, too, are the signs of innocent lyes lost here. rockets peeking out from under the water. and this boat, in which civilians tried to flee russian occupation on april 7th. four of them died when moscow's troops opened fire when it was 17 meters out. yet still, the desperate keep fleeing. this morning, these women left behind their men to defend their homes.
11:05 pm
we ran, ran early in the morning, said luda. they didn't let us out. we're shields for them. they don't let us out by foot. by bicycle, we go in the fields we ran. our soldiers were two kilometers away. and we ran to them. they take cars. they draw zs on everything. as the new unwanted guests demanded milk and food at gun point, they had a glimpse of their warped mindset. they said they came to liberate us. these aggressors. they say america is fighting here but using the hands of ukrainians to do it. that's what they say. another claimed to be fueled by the violence of the long war, with separatists in the east. in general, the militants said you have been bombing us for eight years.
11:06 pm
now, we bomb you. across the fields, artillery swallowing whole once happy worlds. nick paton walsh, ukraine. u.n. secretary-general antonio guterres, is calling it the crisis within the crisis in ukraine. he is calling for the opening of a humanitarian corridor to get people out of the city of mariupol. two days after meeting vladimir putin in moscow. accordingly, mr. putin agreed in principle to allow civilians to evacuate. the u.n. chief says they face a life-or-death situation in their besieged plant. >> mariupol is a crisis within a crisis.
11:07 pm
many are elderly and need medical care or limited mobility. they need an escape route out of the apock apocalypse. >> translator: ukrainian people need to ensure the implementation of any agreement reached. we hope there will be a humanly attitude towards those people on the part of russia. we believe part of the mission of the u.n. secretary-general would be effective. we are ready to support this in whatever manners possible. regardless of how the situation in mariupol plays out, ukraine is creating the fastest-growing refugee crisis since world war ii. the u.n. says 5.3 million ukrainians have fled the country since the invasion began. that includes almost 3 million that went to poland alone. on top of that, more than 7.7
11:08 pm
million others are displaced within ukraine. for more on all of this, i'm joined by the chief of communications for unicef. thank you for joining us here. last time you and i spoke, we were talking about -- we were talking about the need for evacuations and humanitarian corridors. we saw the u.n. chief just yesterday. you were expecting deliverables on that. are you disappointed that hasn't come yet? >> we are all hoping there's some deliverables. we know the situation is horrific. and we're hopeful that will still happen. the secretary-general and others have been discussing on all sides and we believe a corridor can be achieved and we can get people out safely. children are going through a horrific time in mariupol, and
11:09 pm
also other areas. >> we heard from the secretary-general when he was in moscow, when he told us that putin agreed, in principle, to allow the u.n., to allow the red cross, to create these evacuation corridors. we've been here before. and putin has broken the promises. >> right to humanitarian supplies, life-saving supplies. also the safe passage out. i meet children in areas that spoke about being underground for days, weeks and over two months. that's horrific for anyone, let alone children. >> talk about what you're seeing on the ground. >> any child that is exposed to conflict, the needs are huge. sheltering undergrouped, trying to stay safe. you have mothers and women
11:10 pm
trying to protect their children, doing anything they can. and going through stress themselves. that's incredibly difficult. you have children who are leaving their homes. leaving your home behind is, in itself, a traumatic experience and being forced to flee to uncertain places. >> also, not just everyday needs. but also the psychological concerns that you might be seeing right around ukraine. >> the longer the war goes on, the more dramatic for children. we're providing some support. some normality, some areas to play, trusted adults to be with them. and getting the support to them as quickly as we can. >> e with showed on the map there. we showed the number of refugees. and there's another element of
11:11 pm
this, if this drags on, as it has the last few hours, if this drags on, we have to think about the 7.7 million displaced. talk to us about the challenges those that stay within the country and the need for those inside the country. >> needs for women and children inside ukraine are massive. you have a movement of people west. it's relatively safe there. and that creates a strain itself, on the medical facilities in cities that have doubled in size. it's about providing the extra buffer of supplies we can. and informal educations, in shelters. i've been in shelters where you have -- it's 300 people. and we can provide games in there and get teachers and volunteers to go and support children, who are going through stress this those places.
11:12 pm
>> we've been hearing the stories of civilians being taken to russian territory. is this something you've been hearing, as well? >> those reports are horrific. anyone should be able to go where they want to go. that's key they have the choice to get out. that's why the humanitarian corridor is so important. it guarantees the safe passage. and people have clustered together the civilian cars. they have come under attack. and children have been injured. i've seen children that were injured when they tried to get out. they couldn't safely. that's why a humanitarian corridor is so important. >> i appreciate you taking the time to speak to us. thanks very much. the u.s. president says the war has entered a critical window, his words, making everything more essential. and he's proposed by far, the
11:13 pm
largest package yet. joe biden is asking american congress to approve an additional of $33 billion. most will be for security systems. the remaining will be spent on humanitarian aid. he is asking for congress to approve the bill as quickly as possible. have a listen. >> it's not cheap. but caving to aggression will be more costly if we allow it to ha. we either back the ukrainian people as they defend their country or we stand by as the russians continue their at atrocities and aggression in ukraine. >> he also outlined a plan to put further pressure on russian oligarchs by taking profits from assets and giving it straight to ukraine. we'll be back after a short break, including a look at

11:17 pm
11:18 pm
germany's vice chancellor says his nation must think outside of the box when it comes to ending dependence on russian energy and embrace ideas that were previously seen as, quote, unrealistic. his comments come after russia capped natural gas supplies over their refusal to pay in rubles. two major european companies said they're working on a way to make the ruble payments without running afoul of sanctions. they are in talks to find a sanctions-compliant solution. hungary says it will use moscow's payment scheme. let's check in on the global markets now. the shanghai composite over 2%.
11:19 pm
the nikkei up 1.75%. the kospi up over 1%. and the s&p 500, up over 1%. free market investors are reacting to reports from amazon and apple. that's affecting the tech-heavy nasdaq, down nearly 1%. s&p 500 flat and the dow futures slightly up. slightly. a rough quarter for amazon is preying on minds in the wall street. the the ifirst time in years, t giant reporting a loss. it's a big one. reporting a $4 billion loss in the first three months of the year. analysts expected a $4 billion profit. amazon blaming a loss in its investment in an electric
11:20 pm
ordermaker in addition to the pandemic and ukraine war. the report came out in the closing bell, that caused amazon stock to plummet after hours, down 9%. we go to a cnn global economists and associate editor for "the financial times." it's good to see you. we've seen the markets' reaction after the bill trading with amazon. what are we likely to see when the markets open? how big of a deal is this? >> it's a big deal. you think of amazon as being one of the richest -- one of the strongest companies in america. this is coming off of the back of reports we've seen. other tech companies, in particular. it's going to have an impact. i would not be surprised if this led the market lower for some time. and it's a correction that, frankly, a lot of us are expecting. you've seen the war interrupting all kinds of things, supply
11:21 pm
chains, creating inflation, that has a knock-on effect for companies, headaching prices higher. consumers start to see that. i see a lot of people saying anything that's not necessary, i'm not going to spend money on right now. discretionary purchases. netflix, streaming. you're seeing those numbers go down. gadgets and locations. you're seeing a trend where consumers are worried. they feel the tremors around the world and they're concerned. >> i guess it's a combination of things, isn't there? you have worries and amazon benefited from the pandemic shutdown, as they jumped into online buying. what is the outlook for amazon, in the postpandemic environment, especially with fears of a recession?
11:22 pm
>> in some ways, amazon is kind of a very big canary in a coal mine of the global economy. if this company is starting to feel the bite from the war and from inflation and from other troubles. there were investments that didn't pan out. if they are starting to feel the pain, the other companies will, too. a lot of tech firms did well. everybody went online. nobody is immune from a cut in consumer spending, from supply chain fee yas toes and inflation. this is going to bite. and we're feeling it. this could be the beginning of jiters in the market for the next year. >> can you see a correction coming across the whole market? >> i could. it's something i've been expecting for some time.
11:23 pm
you can look back in history and draw some parallels with the '70s and the '30s. you saw interesting geopolitical issues. a pandemic leading into recession. rising wages and world war ii coming and a market crash. we're in the middle of the similar dynamics, as i wrote in the column for "the financial times." we could be seeing that correction at some point. is that going to derail the u.s. consumer? the u.s. consumer, in the midst of pandemic and war, played this role of buyer of last resort. we're starting to see the change a little bit. are we going to see that consumer pull back and say no? i'm going to keep more cash on
11:24 pm
hand. i'm going to save and savings rates go up in the u.s., that would be a big shift. >> when it comes to amazon, the 3$3.1 billion, the projections were a profit of $4 billion. how could projections have been so wrong? what happens to make it so wrong? >> well, there's a lot in play. i have been doing this for 30 years. i can't remember a period, where the amount that could change at any given moment in the economy, was as much as it is now. it's incredibly volatile. a company like this is feeling it. consumer sentiment could turn on a dime. the war is changing in real-time. china is locked down again, because of the pandemic. there's a lot of flux right now.
11:25 pm
it's really difficult for anyone to predict on a week-by-week basis, what's going to happen. >> yeah. >> terrific analysis. thank you. >> thank you so much. more to come here on cnn, including the story of a 12-year-old ukrainian girl held for weeks by russian forces. how she was freed and what she says about her experience when we come back. be conniption-free, thanks to the cartridge-free epson ecotank printer. a ridiculous amount ofof ink! do i look likeke a money tree? the epson ecotank. just fill & chill. my patients, i oft see them have teeth sensitivity as well as gum issues. does it worry me? absolutely. they are both very much hand in hand,
11:26 pm

welcome back to our viewers in the united states and all around the world. i'm eva soares. we're getting word that another fuel depot is on fire in a russian-controlled part of ukraine. this time, it's in the donesk region. this has happened at several other russian-controlled fuel depots. we'll bring you more as soon as we have more information. ukrainian officials are condemning a barrage of russian strikes on the capital. five missiles struck in kyiv, while the u.n. secretary-general
11:31 pm
was visiting. this was a russian attempt to humiliate the united nations and everything it represents. several people inside that apartment building, hit by one of the strikes, were wounded. the secretary-general also visited bucha, where russian forces are accused of carrying out war crimes. ten servicemen have been identified as suspects in the atrocities. and in washington, the u.s. president has urged congress to quickly approve an additional $33 billion in aid for ukraine. that is the largest funding package yet. the bulk of that would go to military assistance. he also spoke out about aggression by russia. have a listen. >> no one should be making idle comments about use of nuclear
11:32 pm
weapons or they would use that. it's irresponsible. >> millions of ukrainians have been displaced since the war started. but one of them has been reunited with family in kyiv. a 12-year-old girl, taken to russian occupied territory, after bombs killed her father. matt rivers has her harrowing story. >> reporter: for kyra, her new ipad is everything. she's 12, after all. the shiny screen is also a welcome distraction an ordeal no 12-year-old should have to endure. just weeks ago, the young ukrainiian wasn't safe, like sh is. but in a hospital, run by russian-backed separatists, forcibly separated from her family. when the russians invaded mariupol, her dad was alive. when russian bombs started to
11:33 pm
fall, they sheltered in a basement. they hit the house where they were staying. we were buried in the cellar. then, the rescuers took us out of the wreckage. her dad did not emerge. now, an orphan, she has started to walk, to find safety amidst chaos. then, another explosion from a mine. my friend saw something on the ground. she hit it with the boot. they took us to the hospital because we were bleeding. her journey was just beginning. in the chaos, she was picked up by soldiers that spoke russian and was brought to a russian-held area. i was taken there at night. it was shortly after this happened, that season season learned about and reported kyra's story, because russia paraded it on state tv.
11:34 pm
they showed images of the kyra in a hospital and said she was being treated well. convinced she was being mistreated, her family went public with the story and it worked. the deal between russia and ukraine, allowed her grandfather to bring her back to kyiv, where she told us, what russian state tv did not. >> it's a bad hospital there. the nurses scream at you. the bed was bent like this. there wasn't enough space for all of us inside. none of that came out on russian state tv. her injuries have healed there. it was there that someone gave her that ipad, after a presidential visit came bearing gifts this week. she didn't love all that attention, though.
11:35 pm
for now, she wants to see her cat and spend time with her grandfather, recovering from the horrors of war, one game at a time. >> she wants to be a 12-year-old girl, like any other girl. a wonderful piece from matt rivers. officials in ukraine, say 45 ukrainians have been freed in the latest prison exchange with russia. it's not known how many russian prisoners were freed as russia has yet to confirm the swap. american trevor reed is back in the u.s., after being released. he arrived in texas earlier on thursday morning. almost three years after being detained in moscow. reed's parents say he will be take n to a hospital for monitoring. his mother tweeted, it's been a day of joy for her family. she called for the release of the other americans detained there, in russia.

perhaps some light at the end of the tunnel for many in shanghai, hard-hit by covid. according to city health officials, more than 12 million people in shanghai live in low-risk areas and can now leave their homes. that's millions more than just nine days ago. you hear the banging of pots in shanghai, as people protest from their balconies over insufficient and inequitable distribution of supplies and
11:41 pm
lockdown. almost all of the 15,000 new cases across china were in shanghai. we go to steven zhang, who is live in beijing for us. we talked about this many times, given shanghai and beijing's enormous populations, it takes one or two or three cases and there's lockdowns. >> reporter: that's right, michael. not just in beijing and shanghai. when we look at this on a nationwide scale, by cnn's own calculation, at least 180 million people are living under some forms of lockdown. and many people in smaller cities have been living like this for months, with very little outside attention and no end in sight. you mentioned shanghai, finally some residents able to leave their houses, for the first time in weeks. and i have been talking to residents there. this time, it's happening for real. authorities have made similar
11:42 pm
promises before, only to reverse the decision at a last minute. now, people went out of the comc compounds for a jog or going to the store to get ice cream for the kids. such simple things that people used to take for granted has become such luxury. here in beijing, things seem to be taking a turn for a worse. all schools are closed and a major hospital. these are ominous signs, despite they have recorded 200 confirmed cases in the latest outbreak, out of the 20,000 residents. and most of us have gone through three rounds of covid tests. some people are lining up to get a third test at this testing location. already, we notice the streets are less congested, during rush hours. and one reason for that, can be the commuters who live outside of the restrictions, being locked out.
11:43 pm
inside the city, we're able to move about, except for many people living in high-risk areas. you have confirmed cases of authorities having been sealed up in their homes. they are expanding such areas. as of now, shops are still open. and the supplies, including food and grocery stores are plentiful online and in stores. but being are stocking up. many of them are being reminded by people in shanghai, things can change at any moment and officials promises and reassurances don't mean much anymore. not surprisingly. steven jaing. since the beginning of the pandemic, china had strict covid restrictions. we look at how difficult it is to travel to and within the country. >> traveling into china is like entering a fortress.
11:44 pm
the country has been sealed off since the start of the pandemic, guarded by border controls and the world's harshest quarantine. the journey to get in started with three pcr tests. >> got my first covid tests. >> back at home, i track my temperature and pack a suitcase full of snacks to prepare for 21 days of quarantine. china requires pcr tests at two different clinics. this is possibly the most paperwork i've needed for an airplane. i say good-bye to tokyo, my home. checking in at the airport, relatively smooth. still checking my documents. got my boarding pass. i'm at the gate. i'm going to china. most people on my flight are chinese citizens. foreigners can only enter under very limited conditions. it's even harder for american journalists because of u.s./china tensions. the flight attendants in full
11:45 pm
protective gear. flights into china are limited. i'll be based in the capital, first, i get another covid test. a bus takes us to the quarantine location. no one can choose where they will be locked in for the next 21 days. hours later, we arrive. it's a hot springs resort converted into a quarantine site. it's my first time here. i will have to enjoy the view from the window. i can't step out on the balcony or open my door, except for health checkups and food pickup. regular covid tests. sometimes even twice a day. food delivery isn't allowed. but breakfast, lunch and dinner are part of the quarantine feast. these restrictions are part of the zero covid policy. across china, tens of millions are sealed inside their homes.
11:46 pm
since mid-december, china's average new daily case count has surged from double digits to more than 20,000. a positive case and close contact has to go to government quarantine. entire metropolises brought to a standstill. many residents have been locked down for weeks. most of the world is learning to live with covid. but in china, no case is tolerated, no matter the emotional and economic cost. moderna is speeking an emergency authorization. this would be for a covid vaccine for young kids. the data shows that vaccines are 51% effective in preventing similar toms in children ages 6 months to under a year.
11:47 pm
and 37% effective, ages 2 through 5. earlier, cnn spoke to moderna's chief medical officer about the trials. >> these are exciting results and an important day for us. when we looked at these children, and we had 7,000 of them in this study, we looked at safety. as a dad and a physician, that's what you want to look at first. the safety was reassuring. exactly what we've seen in older kids. other populations. injection site pain and late fever. no risk of high favor. that was reassuring. with look at antibody levels. we wanted to see levels as in young adults, 18 to 24. that's what we found. this is a reassuring good news. dr. anthony fauci says the
11:48 pm
u.s. food and drug administration is weighing whether to grant emergency use authorization vaccines for young children, for moderna and pfizer at the same time. a blow to the tobacco industry that health officials say could save thousands of lives in the united states. the u.s. food and drug administration proposed a new rule to ban menthol from cigarettes and flavored cigars in the u.s. people that smoke menthol cigarettes have a harder time quitter. tobacco companies have marketed menthol products to young people. weather contributing to a fire danger in parts of the u.s. we go to the cnn weather center for the latest. builder rapid grass. ♪ rapid grass is a a revolutionay mix of seed and fertilizer that will change the wayay you grow grass.

more than 5 million people are under red flag warnings in the southwest united states. stronger winds, lower humidity and dry terrain could lead to new or existing fires to spread uncontrollably this weekend. officials say more than one million acres have been scorched in the region since january. cnn meteorologist joining me now to tell us more about all of this. >> you just said it over a million acres have burned so far. year to date. that's incredible. let's try and put this into perspective. because on average season up to this particular day, april 29, we experience 630,000 acres of charred landscape. and we have eclipsed that with over a million. this is just one of the several large active wild fires out of
11:54 pm
nebraska. we have eight separate state the with 14 active wild fires. so much of it is focussed on the great basin or four corners region. here's arizona and new mexico. let's give you two examples of the ongoing fires here. we have been monitoring these for the past week. i have seen improvement in terms of containment for the tunnel fire. outside of santa fe that fire at 33% contained. also notice the number of acres that have been burned. of course so concerning with our fire weather concerns for the day today. extreme fire weather conditions exist across colorado and new mexico, as well as nebraska. the national weather service hoisted our red flag warnings for so many millions of americans and there is the increase in our wild fire threat today. the winds pick up and we continue with the extremely dry conditions across the plains. and the great basin. active day ahead. >> yeah, indeed. thanks for update. good to see you, my friend.
