committee investigating the house insurrection. five congressmen are subpoenaed including kevin mccarthy. and new evidence of possible war crime in ukraine. an exclusive on the general who ordered some of those acts of brutality. >> announcer: live from cnn. >> russia is reacting to finland's announcement that it homes to join nato with threats of retaliation. former president dmitri medvedev warns that it would strengthen its western flank. they called it a radical change in policy and a treaty vial participation will bring consequences. philipish leaders say their -- finnish leaders say it is a drastic change in the security environment after ukraine.

helsinki admits there are no direct military threats right now and its extremely long border with russia is secure. >> finland has been a member of the european union since 1995. for years we've been a very close partner to nato. so in that sense, this will not be such a major one and maybe it is not as big as people might think. of course, it is a result of the very drastic change in our security environment after the russian aggression against ukraine. >> in ukraine, military leaders describe intense shelling along the front lines in the luhansk region. plumes of smoke from fighting along a key river separating russian and ukrainian forces. the military spokesman says they have blown up a helicopter on snake island. one russian ship narrowly

avoiding a missile ship. farther north, ukraine reports three people were killed and 12 wounded by russian attacks on two schools. moscow claims it hit a command post. and ukraine reports a number of villages are coming under fire in the kharkiv region on the border with russia. d-7 ministers are discussing ways to end the blockade of ukrainian grain that millions around the world rely on. let's bring never our correspondent. the stakes seem even higher than normal. >> reporter: we are expecting to hear from the european foreign affairs chief in the coming hours. the g-7 ministers are meeting to discuss as you mentioned, those concerns around food security. particularly around the blockade preventing grain exports from leaving ukraine, as well as

reports of russian theft of ukrainian grain. there are serious concerns according to the ukraine foreign ministry. 25 million tons off the port of odesa. countries across the middle east and africa are heavily dependent on grain coming from ukraine. so there's a challenge there for the g-7 foreign ministers to discuss. there have been concerns around the logistics of it all. there are some concerns raised by the ukrainian armed forces that ports in ukraine could allow the russian armed forces to further their invasion in the regions. the situation, of course, no easy blocks by battleships and mines. there are logistics on the border. the european commission has said it is looking at ways to streamline, to integrate the ukrainian export system boo the european procedure in order to allow trucks and freight

carriers on the border currently stuck for hours, days at a time to cross into europe with more ease. now, those concerns are serious. we've heard from the u.n. world food program. he appealed directly to president putin that millions of people could die. this is just one of the concerns around the implications russia's invasion is having on the wider world. there are continued concerns around oil and gas. and we've had the ukrainian foreign minister also taking part in this g-7 meeting. he has called for maintained and military support. that will be on the table for minute sisters today as well. kim? >> all right. we'll be watching. here in the u.s., for the first time, the special committee investigating the january 6th riot at the u.s. capitol has issued subpoenas to sitting members of congress. these five republican lawmakers have all refused to voluntarily testify.

the house republican leader and the four colleagues loyal to former president donald trump are thought to have critical information about events leading to the insurrection. ryan nobles has the story. >> reporter: this is by any measure an unprecedented step. the january 6th select committee issuing subpoenas for five members of congress, asking them to sit for depositions and comply with their investigation. included in this list, a big name. the house minority leader kevin mccarthy. they're also asking representative scott perry of pennsylvania to comply, as well as andy biggs, mo brooks of alabama and jim jordan of ohio. each of these individuals has been asked to participate voluntarily and they've all turned gown request. what the committee is saying is that they've come across information in their investigation in which there are gaps. gaps they believe these member can fill and also answer for the role they may have played in the days leading up to january 6th

or on january 6th itself. for instance, kevin mccarthy spoke to donald trump on that day. could have spoke to him multiple times. representative pete aguilar wants to know what was part of that conversation. >> we feel substance of those conversations is important to our overall investigation. i would also say with respect to kevin mccarthy, we're not sure which version. story to believe. so i think he's come down a couple times in a couple places on this. i think he has an obligation to come forward to share. >> now, at this point, these republican members have yet to say how they planned to comply, if they plan to comply at all. they've already attacked the committee. they believe that it is not partisan despite that there are two republican members that are a part of it. all of them said they needed to read the subpoena to see exactly what the committee was asking for. what is interesting is that mo brooks of alabama said he might be willing to comply if it involved a public hearing.

the committee is not asking for that right now. they want their interview to be behind closed doors. the chairman said that could lead to a potential public hearing as part of the marathon hearings that will take place in the month of june. but representative raskin said it will not be part of the negotiations. this is not a game. they're not playing parcheesi or checkers. this is a serious investigation. the subpoena has been submitted and they expect these members to comply. the question is what happens if they don't? cnn on capitol hill. the funeral for a slain al jazeera journalist will be held in jerusalem in the coming hours. shireen abu akleh was fatally shot while covering a raid in the west bank city. thousands of mourners including fellow journalists, diplomats and religious leaders gathered to remember her on thursday. palestinian leaders say they hold israeli forces solely

responsible for sheireen abu akleh's death. meanwhile, israel's military has confiscated guns from some soldiers as part of their probe into the shootings the day she was killed. a staggering number of deaths during the covid pandemic. as we mark the somber occasion, president biden said it is time to look ahead to possible future outbreaks. stay with us. >> tech: ...we cane your windshieldd and recalibrate your advanceded safety system. >> dad: looks great.t. thanks. >> tech: stay safe with safelite. . schedule now. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

the u.s. and the european union say they'll step up their efforts to provide covid vaccines globally. u.s. president joe biden and european commission leader made the announcement thursday, the same day the u.s. marked 1 million deaths from the coronavirus. the u.s. and eu are pledging to improve supply chains and more commitments were made at a virtual covid conference. he said there's no time to waste to prepare for the next variant or pandemic. >> now is the time for us to act. all of us together. we all must do more. we must only had those we have lost by doing everything we can

to prevent as many deaths as possible. >> for more on this, we're joined by the secretary general of the international federation of red cross and red crescent societies. he is speaking to us from geneva, switzerland. thank you for being with us. we heard from the summit, countries are pleminging $3.1 billion to fight covid. the u.s. will increase its pledge to $450 million. in your statement to the summit, you spoke of the need for action to be louder than words. was there enough action here since the first covid summit last september? >> it is really good to see the commitment. and president biden emphasizing the need for action and not to lose time. that's very, very positive. but it is also very important to know that we need around $15 billion now to be able to actually take those actions as necessary to prevent the new

spread of the virus. as we saw, it is a great number but it is far from what is needed. we have seen across the globe now, we have just received the report that the numbers are going up in south africa. we've just received the report that in dprk, they used the word explosive growth of covid, and very important. the new quarantines in china. what it shows is wider progress, they have received at least single dose of vaccines but we still have the low income countries where it is below 16%. so it is good to see that commitment. we need more of that. and turning commitment into action. >> here in the u.s., president biden is struggling to get his bipartisan covid relief passed which would have a big impact. so if you were addressing those

in congress who are hesitating to vote yes on this, beyond what you just told us. what else would you say? >> i would say that let's not make health a political issue. of course in politics there can be political division. but making health, life of people, millions and millions of people not covered by vaccine. i think that's not the right thing. i don't want to get into the politics but let's not make health a political issue. the second thing i would say is that let's not be complacent. yes, i think things are looking better in the developed world, including in the u.s. the last couple of months. we saw two years ago, that the virus spreads very, very fast. so until and unless we have made every part of the world safe, we cannot be complacent. that would be my message. >> so watching the summit, i heard a call for more help to africa. help for africa to manufacture

vaccines there on that continent which will help not just now on this ongoing pandemic, but for the future, which you've mentioned president biden mentioned there as well. so when we're looking ahead to the preparedness for the next pandemic, again, another theme of this summit. what do you think the biggest need is right now? >> i think the initiative in africa to be able to produce vaccines so that they are available, in this time but also for the future pandemic is a noble idea. the one big lesson learned from this current pandemic is just focusing on one thing will not help us to prevent a future pandemic. if we see the developing countries now, the basic health infrastructure is very, very weak. at the community level, there has hardly been. investment. even where the vaccines are available, it is not there to deliver those vaccines. and at the same time, we have

seen that the other vaccine preventible diseases have been ignored at this time. so investing on a community level, basic health has to go hand in hand with a specific investment on issues like vaccine production. and to me, this is the biggest thing. >> a great point. just outlines the huge challenge ahead. we'll have to leave it there. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you so much. government denials of a covid lockdown haven't stopped panic buying in beijing. there were chaotic scenes in supermarkets thursday as residents rushed to stock up on supplies. dalg cases have remained in the dozens in the capital but they are urging them to stay home until they launch a new round of mass testing. but china will be limiting travel abroad and the issuing of

travel documents. for more on this, i'm joined by christy moore in china. despite the relatively few cases causing all the lockdowns. what's the late. ? >> it looks like china is taking its zero covid policy. when you have a plan strictly littling citizens from traveling overseas. this is what we learned from a meeting on thursday with china's national immigration system which announced plans to strictly limit nonessential travel outside china, as well as tighten the approval process for documents. these moves underscores china's fierce commitment to zero cove policy. in shanghai, you have millions there still under a strict lockdown that has been in place since the end of march. and we've learned in beijing right now, 20 million people have been urged to stay at home during a mandatory three-day

mass testing campaign. and i want to bring up this updated graphic for you so our viewers can have an understanding of the scale and scope of the lockdowns across china. this is according to cnn's calculations, based on official date. a we know right now 32 cities across china are under some form of lockdown. full or partial lockdown. affecting up to 220 million people across china. and amid these tightened restrictions in china, cases are actually not falling. in fact, we just got the latest covid numbers out from the national health commission. they say on thursday, cases in shaping high rose from 1349 to 2096. beijing remains at its daily average of 50 cases. it was just earlier this week we heard from the director general of the world health organization saying that china's zero covid policy is not sustainable. china fired back calling those comments irresponsible.

china is not showing any indication that it is willing to give up on this tough zero covid policy. it appears to be ramping up this controversial policy. back to you. >> all right. thank you. appreciate it. the president of south korea is offering to help north korea with its covid outbreak with medical vaccines and supplies. the reclusive nation reported 18,000 cases of so-called fever on thursday alone, and six deaths. so far, north korea has identified more than 350,000 cases and more than 187,000 people are being isolated. the leader kim jong il has ordered all cities into lockdown saying it is the most important challenge facing the ruling party. evidence of possible war crimes are found everywhere across ukraine. the senior russian general has been identified who ordered those atrocities. stay with us.

81. the world has watched in horror as russian artillery has devastated ukrainian cities and ukrainian lives, seemingly with impunity. the u.s. and the international community have accused russia of war crimes in ukraine, but what has been difficult is tying

specific generals to specific crimes, which is the key to carrying out war crimes prosecutions. in kharkiv, cnn has seen the aftermath of the attacks using indiscriminate cluster munitions, which is a war crime. in two-month long investigations, cnn can reveal the commander responsibility for these attacks and the string of atrocities he's committed. not just in russia's latest war in ukraine but in the 2014 war in donbas and syria. the chief international investigative correspondent has this exclusive report. to let you know, might find some of the images in her report disturbing. >> reporter: a devastation of civilian homes and lives. throughout the last two months, we have witnessed atrocities in ukraine. more strikes very, very close. they want to us start moving. while we know these are russian actions, it has been difficult to draw a direct line from

individual atrocities to a specific russian commander, until now. cnn can exclusively reveal that this man, colonel general alexander from the ministry district is the commander responsibility for this. munitions targeting civilians in the city of kharkiv east ukraine. a war crime under international law. >> you can see more artillery rockets being fired from russian territory toward the territory, i would say around kharkiv. you can hear it now. >> reporter: this is the start of the war. cnn's senior correspondent fred pleitgen witnessed it, toward the city of kharkiv. sam kyley was in kharkiv and could hear the concussion. >> reporter: we soon learned from experts, these were smart rockets. built in the early 80s at the

end of the soviet era, this multiple rocket launch system scorching the earth as it fires, is a pride and joy of russia's armaments. as seen here in this propaganda documentary. this is what they're capable of delivering. cluster bombs. one smart rocket releasing many smaller explosives, scattering bombs, amplifying the devastation. these attacks captured on social media, both in kharkiv and both on the same day, are a clear example of the indiscriminate nature. when used in this fashion against civilians, it is considered a war crime. the use of smerch rockets is key. they are unique to one commander. after months of forensic work, we can reveal the trail of evidence leading to this general.

using social media videos to guide us, we returned to some of the scenes of the attacks. focusing on february 27th, when three civilian targets were hit and eight more on february 28th. we start in the paflova neighborhood of kharkiv. this is shrapnel that fell on our neighborhood, she says. this was found in one of the rooms. she takes us to see a smerch that fell 200 yards from her apartment. in this once affluent area. >> i remember the whistling sounds. i know the missiles were flying and they were accompanied by fighter planes or drones. >> reporter: you can see the hole that it came through. you can see the way it buckled when it hit the car. you can very clearly see this is a smerch. it is not the only one coming

this day. less than a half mile down the road. this kiosks, that water cooler, they're key land marks. the bodies landed here down this road. those blue doors you see, that's where the cluster munition shrapnel embedded. this video filmed moments after the attack when four people, including a child, were killed. another smerch launched in cluster bombs. we know this because one of the unexploded bombs was found only 280 yards away. notice the date. 2019. russia stopped selling arms to ukraine in 2014. this confirms this is a russian cluster bomb. 1.5 miles away, another strike. more suffering. and no sign of any legitimate military targets. >> translator: people were cueing for food and something just hit. people started running here.

>> reporter: this is the exact moment of impact. look at it again. frame by frame. you can see the scale of the rocket and proximity to innocent civilians. we are here in kharkiv. notice the five hits along this line from the 28th. they're pretty much in a line. apart from three here which line up with the hits from february 27th. we can trace these lines 24 miles to a point of convergence here, across the border in russia. well within the range of a smerch rocket where we have a satellite image from the 27th, showing the launching position. notice the plume of smoke and the telltale burn marks of the smerch marks. we can also tell you who is firing from this position. the 79th russian artillery brigade. part of the western military

district which borders ukraine and is under the command of this general. according to open source information reviewed by cnn, military experts and intelligence sources, they are the only unit in this district equipped to launch smerch rockets. and only the commander has the authority to order the 79th artillery brigade to launch the rockets. and this was just in the two days that we analyzed. these stills shared exclusively with cnn by kharkiv prosecutors show the russian armaments raining death. among them many smerch remnants. experts say this is the heaviest bombardment in recent history. the general is no stranger to these brutal tactics. atrocities targeting civilians. they're very similar to what we saw in syria in 2016 so it

shouldn't come as a surprise this same general led the siege. he is the architect of the devastation you see here. for leveling aleppo, he was awarded the highest honor granted to russian officers. hero of the russian federation. yet syrians have documented his war crimes. december perfect the direct line from the impunity the world afforded russia and syria to the atrocities suffered by civilians here today, the question remains, what will the world do to stop this cycle? cnn, kharkiv. >> and we have asked the russian ministry of defense for comment as well as the kremlin. but we are yet to receive a response. and cnn shared with the state department our finding, with the action taken against the general

and other russian generals and they wouldn't comment on the specific acts or any other information reviewed but said they continue to track and assess war crimes and reports of ongoing violence and human rights abuses. we'll be right back. it's time for our memorial day sale on the sleep number 360 smart bed. it senses your movement and automatically adjusts so you both stay comfortable, and cahelp you get almost 30 minutes more restful sleep per night. save $1,000 on the sleep number60 special edition smart bed, queen now only $1,9. only for a limited time.

astronomers have given us our first look at the black home that is at the krerp of our galaxy, the milky way. it is 27,000 light years from earth. black holes themselves don't emit light so what we're seeing is the light bent by its crushing gravity. the black hole is 4 million times more massive than our sun. the image was captured from these observatories around the world which form the event

horizon telescope array. >> so all of these telescopes work together like a team. and everybody looked at these sources at the same time and everybody worked together to create an earth-sized telescope. so that we could create such an incredibly high resolution image. >> even though sagittarius star is massive, it is cosmically puny. a thousand times smaller than m-87 which is in a different galaxy, and seen here on the left. now, m-87 was the first black hole to be imaged. >> for our viewers on cnn international, world sport is next. for our viewers in north america, i'll be back with more news after this quick break. please stay with us.
