welcome to all of you watching uts hers here in the u states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. 60 people are most likely dead after russian forces bombed a school in the luhansk region of ukraine. video shows the building reduced to little more than a smoking pile of debris, the regional governor says around 90 people were sheltering inside when the bomb hit. 30 were rescued from the rubble,

so far two bodies have been recovered and the governor says they are unlikely to find more survivors. some hopeful developments in mariupol, ukrainian officials say all women, children and elderly people have now been evacuate from the azovstal steel plant, many were trapped inside the plant for weeks under relentless shelling and food, water and medicine in short supply. volodymyr zelenskyy says that they are now focused on evacuating the wounded and medics still trapped at the plant as well as civilians stuck in other areas around mariupol. to the west, ukraine's military says russia fired six cruiseodesa. so far no causalities have been reported, but strikes on historic cities like odesa almost inevitably lead to other collateral damage. ukraine's president says nearly 200 cultural sites have been damaged so far during the war. here he is.

>> translator: today invaders odesa, a city where almost every street has something memorable, something historical. but for the russian army, it doesn't matter. they would only kill and destroy. odesa, kharkiv region, donbas, they don't care. >> and we have cnn correspondents across the region covering the conflict from every angle. isa soares i lviv, nic robertson is in helsinki. isa, let's start with that horrific bombing of the school, what more do we know? >> reporter: we've been hearing the last few minutes from an official from the luhansk region and what they have been telling us is that 60 people that were of course sheltering inside that school are feared dead. we're hearing from an official the last few minutes. the official also telling us

that 90 people were sheltering inside the school when that bomb was dropped by russians on that school. of those, 30 people were rescued and of those 30, seven were injured. this of course just the latest act of brutality at the hands of russia. to put it into context for our viewers, that town of luhansk about 10 kilometers from the frontlines where we have seen intense fighting and shelling really in the last few days, the back and forth, the push and pull of the battle has been incredibly intense. they have seen artillery fire, airstrikes, but ukrainian troops he says are holding on. but horrific scenes as we look at this footage as people sheltered really from the airstrikes in this small town in luhansk. kim. >> and there have been some developments on the ongoing efforts to evacuate people from that steel plant in mariupol and

as well as the city itself. bring us up to speed. >> reporter: yeah, look, after with what has been two months or so of just horrors and brutality that we've seen in the city of mariupol, particularly inside the azovstal steel plant, we're now learning that all the women and the children as well as the elderly now have been evacuated from azovstal steel plant. they were trapped there for so long, seen no sunlight, running out of water and food as well as medicine was also in short supply. but look, what is not clear at this stage and i think you touched on this, what happens next to those still inside. the wounded soldiers and the remainder of civilians outside the city. we know that president zelenskyy as of the last 24 hours or so was working for a diplomatic solution to try to see if they could obviously evacuate the soldiers. but obviously at this stage we do not know. of course what we have seen really the impacts of this war

being felt not just on the front lines, but really just reverberating far beyond what we've seen in the east in the weeks since russia invaded on february 24th, millions of course have had to really lift their lives totally upended. more than 13 million people have had to flee their homes, nearly 6 million have fled the country entirely. another 7.7 million have had to relocate to a different part of ukraine. and as the conflict drags on, now in the third month, the relief of escape is starting to yield to the heartache of displacement, millions watching from afar as their homes are destroyed and unsure when if ever they be able to return and rebuild. have a listen. >> translator: i desperately want to go home. i wake up every morning and feel like it is a nightmare. >> reporter: joining me now is

director of the international rescue committee team in poland. and he joins me from warsaw. good morning, jason. we're now 70 days into this war. give us a sense of what you and your teams have been seeing and hearing where you are. >> thank you very much for having me. i think the first thing that i would highlight is really just as you said the magnitude of the crisis. just a few days ago, we put out a press release in effect marking the arrival of ukrainian nationals in to poland. even in the last few days that number fendepending on the sour is up to 3.3 million. and this is having the impact of cities like myself here where i'm sitting in warsaw, seeing their populations increase by 15%, 20% or more overnight.

the second thing we're looking at as well now is we talk about populations of this size and these numbers, is that we must definitely begin to plan for and expect as one of your stories just said a protracted nature to this displacement. people have a grave desire to go home. they would like to stay close by the neighborhood when they can to be able to reunite with families. but what they will go home to and the fears that still exist do not necessarily present themselves now as an opportunity for immediate return. and then third thing i would find is that -- yeah, sorry, go ahead. >> go ahead, finish your thought. >> i would just say finally the requirements for assistance and safety here in poland over the next few months will likely increase and need greater support as the volunteer-led effort here begins to wayne undr

the expected stressors that are taking place. >> and like you were saying, i have been speaking to people who have been returning home like you were saying. and we've heard president joe biden ask congress for $33 billion in additional new aid, new funding for ukraine. does that spending, does that aid spending go far enough? >> i think it depends on where it is going to be available for, right? i mean, i can't speak as much myself in terms of the incredible needs that exist on the side of the border where you are in ukraine. i can say in poland definitely we're still looking at one of the largest refugee and most fluid refugee environments that we have in the world today. and whatever resources are being provided now, as strong as they are particularly the front lines of polish government, civil

society, private sector stepping up, there will be needs for increased resources over a sustained period of time in order to ensure that this population gets the protection and the assistance that it needs. >> and in the last few weeks or so, we've been reporting on and seeing attacks on grain storage sites in ukraine. what is the kind of knock-on effect for organizations like yours? >> i think the effect again since i'm on the poland side speaking to that side is, you know, it just takes one missile strike as you said, whether it is on a grain silo, whether it is on a train station, even though the conflict may be concentrated in the east and south now, to retard people from coming home, if you will. even if one is from kyiv, that fear persists and acts as a deterrent even when there is

otherwise strong desires to reunite with feel amily and be of ukraine again. >> jason phillips joining us from warsaw, thanks very much for taking the time to speak to us. appreciate it. >> thank you for having me. and if you would like to help, go to cnn.com/impact. there you will find several ways that you can help. that does it for me from lviv oig. i'll send it back to kim. >> thanks so much. and so as the fighting in ukraine rages on, russia is preparing to celebrate its traditional victory day on monday, that is when moscow holds a huge military parade to mark the soviet's victory in world war ii, what russians call the great patriotic war. this video is of a rehearsal on saturday. officials say warplanes will perform a flyover in a formation that looked like the letter z, which has become a pro war

symbol of russia's invasion of ukraine. and president zelenskyy released this emotional message to mark the day in europe and he says the commemoration is different this year. here he is. >> translator: the fear. we say never again different. we hear never again different. it sounds painful, cruel, without an exclamation, but with a question mark, you say never again? tell ukraine that. >> western leaders will keep an eye on president putin monday for any possible announcements about ukraine. analysts speculate that he may use the occasion to announce a mobilization or to formally declare war, but one journalist who reported from moscow for decades doesn't count on that. he spoke to cnn earlier. here he is. >> i'm not expecting to see

something all that dramatic because i think that he's got enough common sense not to let a show like this dictate his war strategy. they have been saying that there is not going to be any declaration of war, there is not going to be any mass mobilization. and the situation on the ground suggests to me that that is probably the case. but this is a very important symbolic holiday for russians and they will find some way to stoke patriotic fervor and rally people around this disastrous war that is casting so many lives glp make su lives. >> next hour kimberly dozier will offer more perspective on russia's victory day. and tune in on monday to see the victory day parade in russia, we'll have live coverage as troops and officials gather,

that is 7:00 a.m. in london and the parade expected to get under way an hour later. yet another setback for women's rights in afghanistan. just ahead, what the taliban is threaten doing if women aren't covered head to toe. stay with us. may i? we're definitely notot lit. i i mean seriously, we named ourselves booking.com which is kind of lit if we are talking... literal... ha ha. it's why we're planet eartrth's number one site for booking accommodation. we love booking stuff! and we're just here to help you make the best of your vacation. ow... hi... booking.com booking.yeah

in afghanistan, the taliban are cracking down even more on freedoms for women, a decree issued saturday requires women to cover themselves head to toe including their faces whenever they appear in public. it is the latest blow to women's rights under afghanistan's hard line islamic rulers. so let's take a look back at some of the rollbacks the taliban have implemented against women. in december of last year, they banned women from taking long distance road trips in afghanistan on their own, requiring the man or a male relative accompany them. back in november, taliban issued guidelines to broadcasters that prohibited all dramas, soap appractices and shows featuring women. and news producers must now wear head scarves on screen and

despite promises that women would maintain their rights to education, girls' high schools were shut in march. antonio guterres appeared to the leadership to recommgnize and protect the fundamental human rights for girls. >> as i appeal to the international community to step up support for the people of afghanistan, i make an equally urgent plea to the taliban leadership to recognize and protect fundamental human rights and in particular the rights of women and girls. no country can thrive while denying the rights of all of it population. >> for more on this latest development, i'm joined by the founder and executive director of learn in afghanistan, an ngo dedicated especially to girls education. thanks so much for being here with us. when they seized control of the country, the taliban had promised that they this had

learned lessons from the last time they were in power in the '90s and wouldn't pursue some of the same policies. but this latest one definitely harkens back to those dark days. i know when you travel around the countryside, burqas are commo common place. but in the cities you see women often just wearing a head scarf. so what do you think this latest law signals? >> thank you so much for having me. i personally think the way we look at it, it is the last nail in the coffin for women basically in afghanistan. because there is nothing left in afghanistan to ban, to control, when it comes to women. they have already stopped women from going to workplace, they have already stopped them from going to jobs from pursuing an education, from pursuing -- from

traveling from one place to another. they are already at another extreme level that has never happened in the past 20 years. and now the last thing that was remaining was this one wave in the urban centers and they are doing this. and the second wave, second angle that could be looked at, is the fact that this is one of two instances that the taliban pull every one or two month to grab the world's attention because everyone is looking at ukraine. and they want to make sure that everyone is watching them even if it is negative light it still makes them put -- like give them attention that they need right now. >> but to what end? i mean, how would that help them? because as you say, that would just be negative publicity and go against what they were saying promising that they would, you know, continue with women's development or at least not curtail to the level that they

have done as you have sort of eloquently listed there. >> do you really think the taliban stand whatever they have said up until now? they have never stood on a single thing that they have promised. they are still murdering people in afghanistan, abusing human rights. women are able to do whatever they want? today you see that this country only 50% of afghanistan and 00 50% of afghanistan is being limited to their houses, it is being banned from education, being banned from working. do you really think the taliban are promising what they believe in or what they preach? they actually let their own daughters go to school while girls in afghanistan cannot go to school. they themselves can travel, their women can travel in qatar and pakistan while the women of afghanistan cannot even be escorted from one district to another. so i don't believe what they say. what they say and do are not the same things. they are not following what they

preach. >> absolutely. and it comes to more than just issues facing women, millions of afghans face starvation, the statistic here, some 95% of households face food security issues. and a lot of that is tied to the economic crisis which definitely affects women and girls maybe even more. >> and let's look at it like why are the taliban so keen on following the real issues of girls education so much, that they are more focused on this while the country is at that timering, the people are dying. why are they not focusing on those main issues? when they wanted to be the rulers, that is actually what a government agency does, provide services. they are not following up on electricity, water supplies, civic system development. their only focus is how to make sure that they control women in

their eyes and this clearly shows that they are making sure that they suffocate women to the extent where women will late them for the rest of eternity. because they are literally using the women of afghanistan as political pawns in their own political play. >> yeah, it must be especially frustrating because you would imagine that the international community might be able to put more pressure on the taliban to change, but as you alluded to earlier, the world's attention is largely focused on ukraine right now. >> honestly, i have cried so much my tears have dried. i have cried so much. and it just breaks my heart the fact that taliban can openly have an office in qatar, they can openly travel back and forth, the world is willing to talk to them, while the women of afghanistan suffer, while the women of afghanistan cannot go to school. and taliban are the ones who

made all this happen and no one is even questioning them. >> well, i know you still have family there and i'm certainly hoping that they are able to get through what is going on in that country which is extremely troubling. thank you so much for speaking with us. really appreciate it. tunisian tennis star jabar has made history by winning the madrid open. jabeur beat the american in three sets to claim the madrid title. she is currently the 10th ranked woman in the world and projected to rise to number seven following her win. voters in the philippines go to the polls in less than 24 hours in a presidential election that pits the son of the country's notorious former dictator against a candidate

smoke could be seen saturday this various places. and president volodymyr zelenskyy is expected to join joe biden and other g7 leaders in a virtual meeting later today, the focus will be on sanctions against russia and shoring up international support for ukraine. nic robertson is following this story for us from helsinki, finland. so what is likely to come out of this meeting and how significant is it in the context of the victory day in russia tomorrow? >> reporter: in europe it is the 77th anniversary of v.e. day, when the nazis surrendered. and that is the day that europe typically celebrates the end of world war ii. victory day in russia comes a today i laday later and typical a time when putin will tell a narrative in how the soviets

were significant in defeating naziism and trying to spin a message of victory in ukraine and the white house is saying that just isn't the case. so it is not a companyincidence this g7 leaders meeting is happening. president zelenskyy will address it. and he is expected to give an assessment of how the war in ukraine is going, but also, you know, as he always does in these situations, ask for more military help, more equipment to fight the russians and that is very much what president biden hopes to achieve, a continuity, a continuation, an ongoing effort to make sure that there is that support, that military support for ukraine, humanitarian support as well. british government just announced a $1.6 billion military security assistance for ukraine on top of the $1.85 billion assistance that has already been given. so i think that this is going to be the narrative that comes out

of the g7, that continuing support for ukraine, the necessity of giving ukraine what it needs in this fight against russia. and thereby undermining whateverrd putin might choose to say tomorrow about how the war in ukraine is going. >> yeah, and since you are in finland, i wanted to ask you, because there in finland, there are fears of russian aggression prompting that country to now consider joining nato. so there is a deadline looming. what is the latest on those efforts? >> reporter: it has been absolutely remarkable shift in opinion here in finland. going back to when russia invaded ukraine, almost sort of to that day, that marked a massive swing in public support here for nato. there has always been an underlying support for nato, finland is part of the european union, but really they saw russia as now being increasingly

risk-taking, potentially aggressive, so the majority of people here now support in joining nato. and in the coming days by the end of this week, it will become clear which way finland is going. and the expectation, the very high expectation is that the parliament after hearing from the president and the prime minister speak will almost undoubtedly move to request to join nato. it would be shocking at this stage if they were not to do that. that is the absolute expectation. so by thursday this week, it might become very clear. >> obviously we'll be following that story throughout the week. nic robertson, thank you so much. appreciate it. u.s. first lady jill biden is in eastern europe meeting with ukrainian refugees. right now she's in slovakia. on saturday, she visited a school in romania and heard heartbreaking stories from women

and children who fled the war. this school opened her doors in february. and jill biden credits teachers for supporting the refugees. here she is. >> as a teacher, i so appreciate what that one teacher did by saying i'm a teacher, you know, we're going to organize this, we'll get it together. and i think really in a lot of ways the teachers are the glue that help these kids deal with their trauma and deal with the emotion and help give them a sense of normalcy. >> mrs. biden's trip is timed around mother's day, an occasion that will obviously feel vastly different for the ukrainian mothers and children who fled their homes. imagine fleeing the war in ukraine and finding refugees in a multimillion-dollar italian villa. that happened to one ukrainian family. barbie nieto spoke with them and the woman who opened up their

home. take us through the story. >> reporter: this is a family that had a connection obviously, italy had the largest ukrainian population community before the war. so so many people who are coming here do have connections. and this particular woman who opened up her home to her house keeper's grandchildren and daughter. they were living under a pankt and it doesn't take away their stress, but let look at what their life is like here at rome. >> reporter: this ukrainian never imagined her daughter and grandchildren would be living with her where she works as a house keeper in one of the most expensive villas in the world here in the heart of rome. olga tells us her family was doing well in her home country. they had a house, cars, money to live. they were doing so well, s she tells us, and now everything is

broken. now they live in this villa, complete with a ceiling mural. it is currently inhabited by retake carpenter who became princess retake after marrying an italital a wrist italian aristocrat. the villa is expected to be aup auctioned off in june. olga has worked here 14 years and when bombs started dropping near kyiv, there was only one option. >> olga and i discussed it and as things were becoming more and more dangerous, i said you better get them out of there now. >> reporter: the trip out of ukraine was harrowing maria says. they left with only the clothes on their back and the raw fear for their father who stayed behind. they join more than 107,000

ukrainians who have come to italy since the beginning of the war. maria has kept the worst details from her youngest children who are just 6 and 7. but alexander, who celebrated his 16th birthday last week in rome, is old enough to hear the truth. alexander shows us what is left of his high school which was bombed on a photo the director sent him. is this your school? >> yes , we go inside this door. my classroom inside. >> reporter: since arriving in rome march 8, the children have started school where they are learning italian as they settle into olga's apartment inside the villa. >> to imagine what they have gone through, having their lives disrupted and turned upside down, and their father still being there, and their grandfather being there, it is just -- it is heartbreaking.

it really is. >> reporter: maria doesn't know when or if she and her family will be able to go back. >> we cannot have plans because all our plans crushed. >> reporter: but they found relative peace with the princess in this breathtaking villa, at least for now. and you know, when you look at the strife this family has gone through, all the beauty in the world bond take away their fear and concern for their father and grandfather. this villa is being auctioned off as part of an inheritance dispute but we're told that the princess can stay there along with the housekeeper and her family even if it is auctioned off. >> thanks so much, barb binad dough in rome. coming up, u.s. covid numbers are beginning to pick back up, we'll look at why health officials say more funding will be critical in fighting surges down the road. and in the era of cheap

the u.s. centers for disease control is investigating a covid outbreak aboard a cruise ship, the carnival spirit left miami on april 17th, went through the panama canal and docked in seattle on tuesday. the agency says it isn't allowed to say how many passengers or crew tested positive, but the cdc and carnival say there were no severe cases. meanwhile the white house is warning the u.s. could see 100 million new covid infections this fall and winter. it bases that in part on the impasse with congress over more money to fight the virus. >> the consequences are quite

catastrophic if we do not get funding. high good my goodness. we won't have vaccines, we'll run out of treatments. it is a pretty bad situation. i think that congress will step up and do the right thing. they have to. >> the u.s. is inching ever closer to a million lives lost to covid-19. on friday dr. jonathan reiner tweeted that it would take 58 days to read the names of all those we've lost. he spoke with pamela brown and explained what the number represents. >> these aren't just numbers. although the numbers are staggering. there are seven states in this country that have fewer people than that 1 million number. but these are our parents and our children and our partners. it has been estimated that over 175,000 children in this country have lost either a parent or an

en in-home caregiver. so survivors will have to deal and suffer with the consequences, you know, well into the future. it didn't need to be this bad. it didn't need to be nearly this bad. >> he also says what continues to haunt him is the notion that we've become numb to a million lives lost. u.s. economy's turbulent lines shows little signs of calming down. on the one hand friday was the worst start for the stock market in more than 80 years. on the other and, new job growth data came in stronger than expected. but no denying the fact that we're still dealing with the highest inflation in more than four decades. and the federal reserve's response to that is the largest single interest rate hike in 20 plus years. meanwhile americans have their lowest public view of the nation's economy in more than a decade. camila bernal is looking at the

impact on home buyers. >> reporter: it is now more expensive to borrow, so if you are buying a home, this means that you are either going to have to increase your budget, spend more money, or you are going to have a lot less options on the market. we're all going to see this increase in interest rates when it comes to your credit cards, your car loans, your student loans. but the most tangible way of looking at this is interest rates. the last week of april, the average for a 30 year fixed interest rate was 5.1%, but when you look at, say, last november, that was below 3%. it makes a huge difference and it means a lot of money for people looking to buy a home. i talked to a first time home buyer here in los angeles, she is about to get married, she wants to start a family, they have been looking for about a year. and at this point they have put in 16 offers with no luck. here is what she told us. >> with the new interest rate

hikes, we don't really know what our bottom line is anymore. it is a moving target. remember >> experts say it is stressful process for the buyer, seller and the real estate agent. i talked to someone who has been in the business for horn 20 years and here is his perspective on that increase this interest rates. >> it means that the affordability index goes down. and that means that they can afford less in a property, right? so we're literally having buyers right now who have to adjust what they are looking for if they want to get into the market. >> they no longer can afford -- >> they can no longer afford what they used to be able to afford. >> reporter: and keep in mind that home prices in 2021 increased by 16.9%. home prices are high and then you add in the higher interest rates, and it makes it extremely difficult for people looking to buy a home. camila bernal, cnn, los angeles. pro-choice advocates made

their voices heard out side the supreme court saturday following the leak a few days ago of a draft opinion that would overturn roe v. wade which legalized abortion in the u.s. joe johns was there in washington and has the story. >> reporter: it was diehard pro abortion protestors that showed up outside the supreme court here in washington, d.c. on this rainy saturday. the demonstrations picked up here in d.c. after the leak of that draft opinion indicating the court is poised to overturn roe versus wade, the landmark supreme court decision that legalized abortion in the united states. while the numbers of the protestors were few, there is every indication authorities are prepared for larger demonstrations in the coming days. as evidenced by the fencing that goes all the way around the building. the same kind of fencing that was put up around the united states capitol after january 6. also around the white house at

certain times during the trump administration. there is also an indication that we will see more activity in the legislature of the united states, the senate is prepared to vote next week on the issue of abortion. joe johns, cnn, washington. police in alabama admit that they are getting discouraged as their hunt for a missing prisoner and the corrections officer believed to have helped him escape is now in its second week. these are the new images of the squad card vicky white was driving when she left the lauderdale county jail along with accused murderer casey white. she was supposedly taking him to a mental health evaluation, but the pair disappeared. investigators believe these are pictures showing what they may look like with altered appearances. casey white has easily identifiable tattoos. coming up here, temperatures

are reaching historic highs in the midwest. so when relief will come, a live report from the cnn weather center up next. you said you'd never do a lot of things. but you never knew all the things a dog could do for you. and with resolve you never h hae to worry about the mess. love the love, resolve the mess.

boom! i won't be cleaning mold and mildew next week. thanks to this. did you know lysol disinfectant spray can actually prevent mold and mildew growth? spray it every week to break the cycle. ♪ lysol. what it takes to protect.®

if you are traveling throughout midwestern united states this mother's day weekend, you will experience a record heatwave. temperatures will average 15 to 20 degrees above normal in some places and several records were set on saturday. so joining me now to talk about all this is meteorologist derek van dam. so heat, wind and dry air, very dangerous combination there. >> yeah, not a great combination especially for the ongoing fire threat across new mexico. but heat in particular, just yesterday 15 record highs shattered across texas and into portions of colorado as well. these temperatures feel like they should be the middle of summer, but we're talking about the first week of may. so in amarillo, texas, their temperatures skyrocketed to 101 degrees. and why is this significant? it gets warm in amarillo, right? their old record, they shattered that from 1916, but this is the
