fronts in the east, even as fresh russian units come across the border. ukraine's military says this video shows them firing on russian armer in izium. russian forces have been trying to use that area as a staging ground into the donetsk region. russia has had some success in targeting ukrainian supply lines. this is the aftermath of an attack on an important railway hub. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says moscow's aim for the eastern regions is clear. >> translator: in donbas the occupiers are doing everything to destroy any life in this area. constant brutal bombings, constant russian strikes at infrastructure and residential areas show that russia wants to make this area uninhabited. >> in the south, the situation also growing ever more dire for mariupol's last defenders holed up in that steel plant along

with hundreds of civilians. a planned operation to evacuate on friday did not take place. cnn correspondents are across the region. our randi kaye is in moldova. cnn's oren lieberman at the pentagon and mj lee at the white house. but first let's bring in isa soares live from lviv in ukraine. isa? >> reporter: good morning to you, michael. in the last few hours we have heard that russian forces are continuing their offensive in the east, along the entire line in fact of contact in donetsk and luhansk, but ukraine is pushing back, holding off these attacks on several fronts, michael, even recapturing a town near kharkiv, and that is according to ukrainian officials. and in the last few minutes as well, intelligence from uk's ministry of defense, as you can see on your screen, russia has been forced to merge as well as redeploy some of its units that took part in the failed advance in northeast that likely suffering from weak moral as

you're seeing there. in kyiv, meanwhile the city's relative peace was shaken by russia's missile attack on thursday night. it happened while the u.n. secretary general was finishing his visit here. earlier i spoke with the ukrainian lawmaker within an earshot of one of the targets. have a listen to what she told me. >> when i heard the attacks and explosions nearby the first thought i had, oh no, not again. and it was at least three missile hits. we think it was three to five missiles attacking infrastructure objects and civilian buildings in kyiv. and of course, right now before we can say we protect our sky, right now it's nowhere in ukraine people can feel safe. you have seen recently attacks on the western cities where the

refugees in kyiv and eastern cities. so while russian missiles can hit any point of ukrainian land, it's nowhere we can feel safe. this is why we do need all this supplies and weaponry so badly. once it is in and we can start protecting our skies, it will be much easier for all the ukrainians. >> and we have seen the russian sides attacking the supply lines, which are so important, as you pointed out. how quickly is ukraine rebuilding again to make sure that those supplies are going right to the front lines, kira? >> well, you're absolutely right. because russians see that there is more and more help and support getting in, they start attacking railways and trail stations. for us, it's the top priority to rebuild these infrastructure objects as soon as possible because railroads is right now

the main way for us to get all the weapons and all the humanitarian support in. so, there are at least ten crews on the ground right now who concentrate on exactly rebuilding the broken lines. and we are able to do it pretty quickly. >> reporter: kira there as you heard, michael, the mp really emphasizing that ukraine is managing to repair, to make these repairs pretty quickly. and the importance of that given that the russians keep attacking their supply lines and keep attacking -- stopping this critical supplies from getting into the front lines. something that i have been hearing the last few days, michael, one analyst telling me this is becoming more and more a war of logistics, michael. >> yeah, isa, thanks so much. appreciate the reporting there. extraordinary stuff. i want to bring in now former ukrainian defense

minister andre. thanks so much for being with us. good to see you again. >> thank you, michael. >> now, despite the strong performance of the ukrainian military, how concerning are those russian advances in the east and also the south? >> of course, concerning. they are collecting substantial forces, actually all they can. and they're trying to advance and take more territory and kill people and capture our lands. so obviously this is their best chances, they think. they put all their efforts, all their best generals, all their equipment, so, yeah. that's a huge challenge. >> how concerned are you that russia will start to hit those weapons convoy coming into the country. we have seen railways targeted, but are you worried that armed shipments which are so crucial for ukraine might themselves be

hit? >> they will try for sure. they will try to intercept logistics, but ukraine is not -- ukraine doesn't depend on one road or one railroad. so i don't think this is something which they can easily close for us. so, we can do this. we can deliver. >> well, to that point, i mean, we talked about the donbas. we know what's going on mariupol. how worried, are you, that putin will try to create another front involving moldova? >> the forces they have there are not that substantial. so, generally strategically here and all ukrainian south. but to approach odesa with substantial forces, to capture it, to encircle it, it's easier

said than done. and certainly will be creating some sort of unrest there. he can use that in order to divert our attention, but i don't think that forces they have there are capable and ready stage to create some really serious challenges, at least at the moment. >> right. we're more than two months into this war. what do you think that the chances this will turn out to be a protracted conflict, perhaps for years. what are the risks of that happening? what would it mean? >> well, that would mean exhaustion -- that would mean exhaustion of international attention, international resources, ukrainian resources, something which we don't want to happen. and russia would be recovering after some losses and then start again. then recovering and starting again. this is scenario which we don't

want to happen. i don't suggest ukrainian government and international government plan for that. we have forces and opportunity to stop that war and to finish it much quicker. we should use that. >> you make a good point. with the protected conflict there is also the risk that the west, those countries supporting and arming ukraine could lose interest if it goes on for too long. that assistance almost has a shelf life. could you see that happening? >> well, politically no because share the vision and goals with our allies. i understand why it's important for us to win. but of course if something goes into years, that gets into totally different type of decision making and totally different type of attention investing some attention and resources and so on. you cannot continue high intense war for years. it's very difficult.

so that's why, of course, and from resources perspective, something will go to the low interest and more exhausting type of war. we certainly -- nobody is interested in that. we need to do it much quicker. we need to finish it and we need to win it. >> when you speak about finishing it and winning it, there is a cease fire that somehow emerges in the near to medium future. how important is it that russia does not continue to hold ukrainian territory in any cease fire agreement, or at least more territory than crimea and the paths to the donbas it all held before this all began? you imagine that it's pretty crucial that they're not given any reward for this terri territorially. >> exactly. exactly. rewarding aggressor means re-enforcing position and they will continue. as soon as they recover, they

will breech that cease fire and will start attacking again. cease fire is not -- doesn't help actually. it only gives russia a chance to recover, replenish and start again. and then obviously, as we saw with minsk agreements, they would be blaming everybody, including mainly ukraine for breaching that cease fire. so that would confuse the information space about reasons of breaching our cease fire. the situation would become much more complex. right now it's very clear. there is an aggressor and there's us and we're fighting for our independence. and with some agreements it would be like something much more difficult to understand and russia would be playing with that information space like they did with the minsk agreements. again, as i said, we need to win and get them out of our territory and use international resources and help to do so as soon as possible. >> thanks so much. good to see you again. appreciate it.

what you're seeing there is a massive tornado passing over andover, kansas, on friday. the governor has declared a state of emergency. city officials say at least a dozen people have suffered minor injuries. and 50 to 100 structures have been damaged. the national weather service says there were more than a dozen tornadoes reported, most of them in kansas and nebraska. all part of a severe storm system passing through the region this weekend. let's get more from cnn meteorologist karen mcginest tracking all of this. tell us more about it, karen. >> michael, we're getting a better idea hour by hour even though we're in the overnight hours and you can't make a complete assessment, but the fire chief said there were nearly 1,000 buildings that were in the line of sight of this

tornado. of the 14 tornado reports, there were 15 throughout the country. 14 of those were reported in nebraska and kansas. and the bulk of those were in kansas. central and eastern kansas. now, andover, that's about a 20, 25 minute drive to the northeast of wichita. it wasn't just there but between kansas city and wichita, along that turnpike region, interstate 35, that's where we saw violent weather for the evening and overnight hours. very vigorous weather system that is making its way towards the east. now we'll start to see that shift of severe weather move all the way from the great lakes down into arkansas. but it looks like that threat of tornadic activity is a little bit less than what we saw on friday. but still nonetheless there, could see hail, high winds and some localized flooding due to some of the heavy downpours. but take a look at this, this is what you're going to talk about with your friends. this video, this is from elena

atkins. she was video taping this. she lives in andover. andover is a city of about 13,000 people. the power is out. they're saying a number of buildings have been damaged or destroyed. she kept her calm and video taped this. and they're saying that no significant injuries. we have had several reports of signi significant injuries. the ymca is one of the buildings we first heard about that was severely damaged. the folks there knew there was a tornado. there were tornado warnings. they took coffever and it saved their lives. people in this area are very familiar with severe weather. so much so back in 1991, 31 years ago almost to the day there was an f-5 tornado. so we'll see what happens as they take a survey coming up for tomorrow. michael? >> karen, appreciate it.

thanks so much, karen mcginest there. now covid cases in shanghai china appear to be on the way down. some good news. on friday, the global financial hub reporting just over 10,000 infections, a fall of 5,000 from the day before. shanghai has been one of the countries hardest-hit cities during the latest outbreak. on friday, china crediting its zero covid policies with protecting lives as well as minimizing economic impacts. the chinese government defends the harsh covid policy as a, quote, magic weapon to prevent the spread of the virus. shanghai covid numbers are gradually falling, as we said. but daily case counts still remain fairly high. and millions are still under strict lockdown, including cnn's david culliver who has more for us from shanghai. >> reporter: lockdown in china is like nowhere else on earth. here you see a man getting

swabbed for a cokcovid test thrh the fence. megaphone is used to call for others to get tested. the country's zero covid strategy turning millions into virtual prisoners across the nation. outside of beijing, these residents held over to apartment keys so community members can lock them in from outside. crews drill holes to chain the doors shut. workers installing steel bars to keep people from leaving the building. right now across china, at least 27 cities are under full or partial lockdown. cnn's calculation estimating that directly impacts up to 180 million people. more than half the u.s. population. for over two years now, china's covid containment has become more extreme. fracturing everyday life.

in a city not under lockdown, babies kept off the subway. the reason, they didn't have negative covid test results. it's now mandatory to get access to most of public life in the city. to accommodate the new rule, they opened 24/7 testing sites. a delayed test result had this groom watching his own wedding ceremony via live stream, not allowed to enter the venue, laughing off the insanity of it all. china's zero tolerance for any new cases comes from the top. president xi jinping's tasked vice premier to oversee major outbreaks. working with the city's most senior official, li chong. they coordinated at local levels with thousands of communities, those local workers are our

little gate keepers, determining who goes in and out of each compound, facilitating food deliveries and managing our health information. in addition to very regular pcr tests, each day we're also required to do rapid antigen tests. we then upload the results to this government app and we take a screen shot of that and a picture of the test and we share it publicly with our community group chat so that all our neighbors can see we're negative. the community group chats serve as a helpful way to source food but also as a space to call out neighbors, sometimes becoming a witch hunt to kick out positive cases and have them sent to quarantine centers. >> it has become quite common for local authorities to say we have a wartime situation and therefore we have to apply emergency measures and therefore you have to simply follow orders. >> reporter: reminds some residents of the cultural

revolution from the '60s and '70s a painful era of political chaos sparked by extreme policies. criticism of beijing's zero covid strategy is not tolerated from anyone, including the son of a chinese billionaire also sent to a crowded quarantine facility in shanghai. banned from chinese social media after criticizing the policy. his profile with 40 million followers, erased. but not everyone is silenced. back in shanghai, many residents confined to their homes adding to the growing chorus of dissent, as covid cases surge across china, millions now sentenced to lockdown. their release date, unknown. david culliver, cnn, shanghai. now american parents hoping to vaccinate their young children against covid could soon get their wish, according to the latest meeting scheduled by the u.s. food and drug

administration. a covid vaccine for kids under 5 could come as soon as june. the agency's vaccine advisory committee will review data from moderna and pfizer and discuss whether their emergency use authorization for young children should be approved. from there, the cdc would have to sign off on the authorization before shots could start going into young arms. a taliban police spokesman says at least ten people are dead and 30 wounded after an explosion at a mosque in kabul after friday prayers. witnesses say the death toll likely much higher than that. this is the latest in a series of deadly blasts that have rocked several afghan cities over the last two weeks. >> translator: around 300 to 400 people were there performing rituals when the blasts went off. i helped care 10 to 15 wounded people and 3 who were killed to vehicles.

many of the injured and martyred are still being evacuated from the area. there are many casualties. >> most of the recent attacks were claimed by an isis affiliate, but so far no one claiming responsibility for this explosion. a member of the isis terror cell will spend the rest of his life in prison on two continents. in september, alex pleaded guilty to his involvement in kidnappings that led to the deaths of american, japanese and british citizens in syria. he will serve 15 years in an american prison and serve the rest of his term in the uk. some stunning video coming into cnn following a building collapse in the city in southern china. state media reporting five people have been rescued not knowing how many others might still be trapped in the rubble. the structure is described as a resident's, quote, self-built house. it reportedly had six stories

♪ welcome back to our viewers here in the united states and canada. i'm michael holmes. you're watching cnn "newsroom." now, ukraine says it is holding off the russian offensive on several fronts, and that it has repelled 14 attacks in the donetsk and luhansk regions over the past 24 hours. ukraine's military says russia is bringing in re-enforcements from its far east, but they have so far failed to breakthrough in the izium area. the ukrainian national guard says the video you're seeing

there shows an artillery attack against russian armored units in that area. and to the southeast, in mariupol, the bombardment of that steel plant not letting up. we got some drone footage that just came in to cnn showing smoke rising from that steel plant. there is no word on exactly what is causing the smoke. obviously we don't have that video for you. but a ukrainian commander inside the plant told cnn earlier that russian attempts to storm the area have in his words been deflected. hundreds of civilians and ukrainian troops have been holed up in the plant for weeks. and this just came into us a few moments ago, russia's ministry of defense confirming what the ukrainian military has been saying for week it is using submarines to carry out cruise missile attacks on ukrainian targets. the ministry published video on friday showing the launch of caliber cruise missiles from a d

diesel submarine somewhere in the black sea. russia's expansion to the southern ukraine may be to connect to trance knee stree ya, the break away territory hit with a series of unexplained explosions recently. russia blaming ukraine, but the ukrainian government calling it a false flag operation orchestrated by moscow. the tiny sliver of land lies between ukraine and moldova and could be a jumping off point for a future attack. it is moldova in itself, any way, our randi kaye went to the border with moldova and filed this report. >> reporter: we drove here from the capital of moldova to see how close we could get to the break away republic on the border of ukraine and moldova. that shared border is 250 miles long and is about the size of rhode island. there are about 500,000 people living on that tiny strip of land. many of whom do speak russian.

there's also believed to be 1,500 russian forces there, those are believed to be peace keeping forces, according to russia, but as we saw many of them are manning those border crossings. that bridge in the distance bind me goes to the city of dubisari. it's one of five bridges that connects moldova where we are. we drove up close but once we saw a russian armored vehicle and russian troops we turned around quickly. some moldovans who crossed over that we have spoken to say there are police everywhere there and feels like the soviet union. the reason it could be so key is because it could be just what russia needs to expand the war from ukraine into moldova. a russian commander recently raised concerns the army planned to control southern ukraine and open a land corridor stretching here. >> so the scary moments for a

woman farming in southern ukraine, and the crew from cnn portugal who was interviewing here at the time. they were standing in an open field no, place for shelter when they suddenly came under fire from russian artillery. have a look. you can hear the firing and you can see some smoke in the distance as well. the team was able to leave the area safely. residents stayed behind safe for now. ukrainian refugees in mexico are hoping to fast track their applications to come to the u.s. thousands of them have been waiting in refugee camps like this one in mexico city. but some of them now say a new u.s. visa program called uniting for ukraine could speed up the procedure.

>> new program united for ukraine because it gives them a lot of -- they'll be in the states legally, and they have a lot of opportunities as in work and as in other stuff as well. as long as the new program takes. i heard it takes from seven to ten days. i heard it takes longer than that. >> the u.n. estimates that more than 5.4 million refugees have fled ukraine since the fighting began, even more people are internally displaced within the country. almost 3 million of those refugees fled to poland, but now that they're safe from war, the big question is, what next? as erica hill reports from warsaw, both refugees and their hosts are preparing to be in it for the long haul. >> reporter: from coffee to clothes, laundry to day care, two months into this crisis refugee shelters like this one outside warsaw have found their rhythm. offering a place to rest and regroup while people try to

determine what and where is next. we will go back to our home this dad tells me, if it's under the ukrainian flag. they left two weeks ago, making their way to warsaw through crimea and russia. you were able to leave with your family. do you want to go fight for ukraine? >> translator: yes. i left with my fam lirks but to fight? i don't know. it's a difficult question for me. i can't answer. >> reporter: there is so much that can't be answered, including how long this will last. the need is massive. there are volunteers working in this space 24/7, to deal with all of the donations. but if needed, they could push all of this back to accommodate more beds and as many as 6,000 refugees. currently they're averaging 3,000 people a night. but officials say there's no way

to know what the numbers will be from one day to the next. ala fled with her mother and two young daughters at the start of the war. now, she's one of several psychologists volunteering to help those who just arrived. increasingly they're from the hardest-hit areas. >> translator: there are no easy stories here. either you spent a month in the basement or ran from shelling or don't know when you can come back. you don't have anything here. >> reporter: making simple moments all the more important. the goal is to make this space as comfortable as possible. yet the truth is no matter how warm or welcoming, no one wants to be here. they would rather be back home. the reality is that this refugee center will likely be needed for some time. and just to keep it running is truly an incredible undertaking. you saw the washing machines they brought in, portable

showers as well. in one month that facility goes through six tons of toilet paper and half a million coffee cups. in warsaw, i'm erica hill, cnn. now, if you would like to safely and securely help people in ukraine who might be in need of shelter, food, and water, please do go to cnn.com/impact. lots of ways there that you can help. an emotional moment at the pentagon on friday during the afternoon press briefing, pentagon spokesman john kirby choked up when speaking about the atrocities in ukraine. kirby was asked if he believes the russian president vladimir putin is a rational actor. here is part of what he said. >> it's difficult to look at the sorry. it's difficult to look at some of the images and imagine that any well-thinking serious,

mature leader would do that. so, i can't talk to his psychology, but i think we can all talk to his depravity. >> kirby also spoke of mr. putin trying to justify the war as protecting russians in ukraine, defending russian national interest and rooting out naziism in ukraine. kirby called that b.s. now, the g20 summit won't take place until november, six months from now, but a potential diplomatic showdown already brewing over attendance after russia said it had accepted indonesia's invitation to participate. >> reporter: vladimir putin confirming that he intends to attend the g20 summit coming up in november, creating a diplomatic headache for this white house. president biden has previously said that he believes russia

should be kicked out of the g20 because of its invasion into ukraine. he made these comments back in march when he was in belgium attending a series of emergency summits to discuss this war. now, white house press secretary jen psaki reacted to this news and cnn asked her if anything could change between now and six months from now when that summit is supposed to take place to make the u.s. believe that it would be productive for russia to attend that summit. and this is what she said -- >> we've conveyed our view that we don't think they should be a part of it publicly and privately as well. there's a lot that could happen between now and then, but we certainly haven't seen an indication to date of russia's plan to participate in diplomatic talks constructively. >> reporter: now it's important to note that it's unlikely at this moment in time that russia would be kicked out of the g20 because not every member country agrees that this should happen, including china. and then there's also the question of the host country indonesia. jen psaki said that her

understanding the that indonesia had invited russia to the summit before the invasion began, but indonesian president said he wants to unite the g20 and doesn't want there to be a split, so certainly doesn't sound like a host country that is eager to see russia kicked out of the summit. mj lee, cnn, the white house. now, police arrested seven people and towed more than 20 vehicles on friday at the start of a three-day biker rally in canada's capital ottawa. more than 500 people are expected for the rolling thunder rally with many participants protesting covid mandates and calling for, quote unquote, freedom. police and many residents don't want to avoid a repeat of the noisy freedom convoy that gridlocked ottawa earlier this year. police warned they could not

and you can see there all red arrows in the u.s. markets ending a dismal month. dow friday sank 3%. the tech-heavy nasdaq finishing its worst month since 2008. and the s&p 500 fell to its lowest point this year. investments had three bitter pills to swallow in just the last week. amazon stock plummeting, of course, after reporting that $3.8 billion loss last quarter. apple sent out a warning about more supply issues in the near future. and a key indicator of inflation

shows it's here to stay, at least for the time being. richard quest breaks it all down for us. >> reporter: it was a horrible session that ended a difficult week. as more companies have revealed their earnings, so it's becoming clear, share prices could not be supported. the latest victim was amazon, one of the bell weathers, a favorite of the pandemic who revealed losses that were much greater than expected and costs rising even faster. as a result, amazon was down some 15%, an extraordinary amount for a stock like amazon. put it all together and investors are going into the weekend worried over inflation, concerned over higher interest rates coming on both sides of the atlantic and bewildered about the market's inability to see a way forward. with the current environment, there can be no assurance of gains any time soon. richard quest, cnn, new york.

now that new economic normal richard was talking about includes some remnants from the pandemic. one of them may not be generous tipping. don foreman looks at what life is like now for those who depend on those tips. >> reporter: at this pizzeria in d.c., the food has been hot and the tips steady throughout the pandemic. have the tips been good during the pandemic? >> oh, for sure. >> reporter: but now the staff, suppliers, customers everyone is facing a tipping point and service workers in some places are paying the price. just as isabella, the operations manager. tipping has grown a lot more complicated. >> it has. you are not wrong. >> reporter: the pandemic by many accounts pushed tips to new prominence in home deliveries, at takeout stands, food trucks and in ride sharing services far beyond the spots where many consumers were used to seeing
