live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. this is "cnn newsroom." i'm kim brunhuber. ahead, another deadly mass shooting after a gunman opens fire in a grocery store, what officials believe the motive is behind the attack. and with russia's invasion in ukraine, a n historic decisin is ahead. we're live in helsinki with the
1:01 am
latest. >> live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom," with kim brunhuber. >> a suspect is behind bars following a deadly mass shooting that set the community of buffalo, new york on edge. 18-year-old payton has been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the deaths of at least 10 people. he pleaded not guilty. police call it racially motivated. it happened in a largely black neighborhood. investigators are also reviewing a 180 page manifesto in which he describes his perceptions of the dwindling size of the white population. governor hochul condemned the racial extremism. here she is. >> military-style execution
1:02 am
targeting people who simply want to buy groceries in a neighborhood store. it strikes us in our very hearts to know that there is such evil that lurks out there. >> police say the alleged shooter wasn't from the area and traveled hours to carry out the shooting in buffalo. >> this was pure evil. it was straight up racially motivated hate crime from somebody outside our community, outside of the city of good neighbors, coming into our community and trying to inflict that evil upon us. >> a union representative for the supermarket employees said a worker at the store called him after the deadly shooting and described the shear chaos she witnessed at the scene. >> i hear that somebody came in, heavily armed, just walked in and starts shooting.
1:03 am
i spoke to one of the workers on my way here and she said that, you know, her family members are calling her and her co-workers and it was like something out of a war movie. just nonstop shooting. people running screaming. the person was in tactical gear, a lot of guns, some kind of armor or something. so it looks like -- well, i won't speculate. but it seemed like somebody came here, you know, on a mission. and again, you know, the big picture is that these poor workers come here every day to punch a clock and put money in their pockets, it is terrible. >> joining me from buffalo is mark summer, a reporter with the buffalo news. thanks so much for being with us. just to start, what more are we learning about exactly how this terrible trial unfolded?
1:04 am
>> what we know right now is that at approximately 2:30 saturday afternoon, at a busy tops supermarket in a predominantly black neighborhood, the shooter showed up, he was dressed in body armor, he had a military helmet with a camera for live streaming. and of course he had a high powered rifle that he used for his killing spree. he shot a few people in the parking lot. he went into the supermarket, there was a retired -- recently retired buffalo policeman working security. they exchanged gunfire. the officer was killed. and then the shooter went inside and started shooting people. as you can imagine, there was all kinds of chaos. people trying to elude the shooter. one woman talked about falling down a few times as she ran toward the back and got out an exit door. there was an employee who was working in the milk cooler when he heard the shots, so he didn't leave there, just hoped the door wouldn't be open with someone shooting at him. so it was just a horrific,
1:05 am
horrific scene. the shooter eventually came out of the supermarket, he went a gun to himself, he was going to -- it appeared like he was threatening to shoot himself, but the police tackled him and arrested him and he has been arraigned. >> and now that alleged perpetrator, self described white supremacist, what more are we learning about him and the possible reasons behind this? >> sure. he reportedly left behind what appears to be a 180 page manifesto, and he is only 18 years old, let's remember, which is pretty amazing. it is a very, very detailed manifesto. some of it is more lucid than some that i have seen in the past when i've read these things. virulent racism and anti-semitism. he seems to reserve more hatred for jews than anyone else in
1:06 am
this manifesto. he is a practitioner of something called the great replacement theory. he talks a lot about that in the manifesto. that has been something promoted by white supremacists for a long time. and it is something heard on right wing talk radio routinely. the idea is basically that white americans are being intentionally removed from the united states. u.s. white citizens being removed by immigrants into this country. you know, it is a view that he must just live in the dark corners of the web. but four days ago the associated press did a poll to see what the americans thought about the so-called great replacement theory and they found that one-third of americans saw some believability in this idea. this generally discredited idea. >> yeah, shocking how mainstream it has become. now, you've covered the
1:07 am
community for a long time. the community there must be so shattered by this absolute horror. how are they coping with the grief and the anger here? >> there is a lot of anger. down at the supermarket today, people were really furious. and there is just shock, there is dismay, people are horrified. it is the kind of thing that you read about in another city, another town, another part of the world. and you never think that it will happen in your own backyard. you know, sadly in this country, it is just a month ago that we saw the mass shooting in brooklyn. but it has become routine in the united states of america. one would never have thought that not that many years ago that something like this could become routine. so, you know, with all the other emotions, just heartbreak, shear horribleness of what happened. the thought that somebody could be so deranged that they would want to go in and kill innocent
1:08 am
people like this. >> absolutely. well, listen, we'll have to leave it there, but mark summer with the buffalo news, thanks so much for being with us. >> sure thing. cnn spoke with democratic house member ron higgins who represents the district where the shooting took place and he gives this chilling assessment of the attack. >> clearly this is an individual that selected buffalo, selected an area of buffalo that is pre-dominantly african-american, from outside the area. that is not coincidental. and we believe and law enforcement officials believe that this is part of an organized effort to attack the minority community generally in the community of buffalo at its target. >> and we'll have more details about how the tragedy unfolded, including reports the shooter
1:09 am
live streamed the attack a little later in this hour. but. but first, historic shift for european security as finland takes another step toward nato membership. we're live in helsinki after the break. stay with us. e age 50 to 85, and looking to buy lilife insurance on a fixed budget, remember the three ps. what are the three ps? the three ps of life insurance on a fixed budget are price, price, and price. a price you can afford, a price that can't increase, and a price that fits your budget. i'm 54, what's my price? you can get coverage for $9.95 a month. i'm 65 and take medications. what's my price? also $9.95 a month. i just turned 80, what's my price? $9.95 a month for you too. if you're age 50 to 85, call now about the #1 most popular whole life insurance plan

1:13 am
in northeastern ukraine, an aggressive counteroffensive by ukrainian forces continues to threaten russian supply lines that support troop to the south. ukraine military reports some of the most intense fighting is in villages east of kharkiv. so far the russian military hasn't made any advances in the donbas, but ukraine says the russians appear to be attacking severdonetsk. shre there was a high level visit with republicans ahead of an additional $40 billion of aid to ukraine. we have cnn correspondents covering the war and we begin with sarah cider in odesa. you've been covering a recent missile strike on a shopping
1:14 am
mall there. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: yeah, it hit not only a shopping mall, but also there were strikes on a hotel here in odesa as well as a large apartment complex. we went to these different sites, the damage is extensive. the apartment complex however has a blast all the way through it about three or four floors burnt out, but there are still dozens of people that are living there with nowhere else to go. a lot of people have left the city, but some people have come to odessa because this was considered a real stronghold and still is of the ukrainians. and they have been fighting to keep this particular city mainly because it is a really strategically important city. there is a port here that has been helping shuttle supplies including supplies for the war to help ukrainians push the russians back. and this is also an economically very strong city as well. but we are seeing the results of these missile strikes.
1:15 am
and what is concerning to so many people here, it is not that these missile strikes that are coming from russia aren't hitting military targets, they are hitting soft targets, they are hitting targets where civilians work and live, causing a lot of consternation here, a lot worry here. every now and then the sirens go off and people take them very seriously after what they have seen. ukraine proud of the fact that it has really kept hold of this city even after all of these attacks. the russian military trying to amass on the black sea on the coast of the southern port of odesa. but right now people are fighting back by going to work, by trying to live their lives, those who are still here, trying to keep their businesses going. you see a real pushback in that way as well as the pushback from the military. >> resilience is the word we're hearing over and over again. thank you so much, sara sidner in odesa. russia's war on ukraine is
1:16 am
prompting an historic shift in the security map. finland's leaders are expected to formally announce that they want to join nato. saturday vladimir putin warned that it would be a mistake, but finland says it is aimed at bolstering its own security, not inflaming tensions with moscow. >> our president called to inform that finland is now proceeding towards nato membership. our parliament will discuss this item on monday and it is very likely that there is a strong majority in our parliament also supporting the nato membership. we have 1300 kilometer border with russia and we want to maintain it peacefully. it is important that we communicate with our neighbor. >> and foreign ministers from
1:17 am
the g7 have announced that they will never recognize borders changed by this war in ukraine. fred pleitgen is in berlin with the latest on those talks but first let's go to nic robertson in 4helsinki. you are outside the presidential palace, a seismic announcement that we're expecting soon there. >> reporter: yeah, this is going to be big when it comes, it is of course very highly predicted and anticipated, the prime minister and the president here during their press conversation will say that they are endorsing and the government will support joining nato. of course it is down to parliament to move from there. parliament will debate it early in the week. but president putin told the president here of finland just yesterday that it was a mistake to do this because there are no threats in the region. however finland for decades has never taken russia at its its. and the depths of that distrust, we saw them here in helsinki
1:18 am
yesterday. the question is, when is a parking garage not a parking garage? and the answer is, when it is part of a tunnel of bunker network to be used in case of war. and there is one country threatening that war potentially, the big threat, russia. the rescue department will show us around. >> so we see the main entrance -- >> reporter: 20 meters, 60 feet below ground. cut into helsinki's bedrock. how quickly can you put this together in case of a war? >> 72 hours. >> reporter: and 6,000 people in here. how many people can you fit in shelters in the whole of helsinki? >> over 900,000. >> reporter: so that is enough for the population plus visitors. >> yeah. it is. >> reporter: the government has
1:19 am
been building bunkers here since the 1960s. 5500 in helsinki. more than 50,000 across the country. enough for 80% of the country's 5.5 million population. >> deeper and deeper. >> yeah. >> reporter: but the scale of it not the only surprise. some of it is open to the public. what is this? >> a ball game. >> reporter: a bunker with a sports hole? oh, my goodness. much of it dual use to offset the costs. >> so this is one example of our dual purpose use of the shelter. >> reporter: yeah, so sports, and what happens here? >> all the sporting goods are stacked away, all the sheltering holes are provided by smaller
1:20 am
sheltering rooms. >> reporter: and also children's play areas, possibly the safest in the world. cafes, even a swimming pool. just a sheltering hole with a pool. >> yeah. with an olympic size pool. >> reporter: likolympic size. okay. wow. wow. but everything here with one purpose in mind. blast doors, gas barrier, decontamination areas, even the 2 billion year old bedrock, more than just blast proof. if there is a nuclear bomb, the rock itself absorbs the radiation and keeps everyone here safe? >> that is the idea. >> reporter: and the tunnels, they are curved so that they also prevent some of the blasts coming through. >> yeah, they take the most of the hit. >> reporter: and now a car park. >> a car park. >> reporter: again.
1:21 am
>> again. >> reporter: that is quite a bizarre feeling. one minute you're preparing for a war, the next minute you're playing hockey and now it is a car park. >> yeah. here you can see the different layers. >> reporter: and before we leave, he shows us another shelter just begun. drill a hole in it, but explosives in it, blow it and move forward. >> yeah. >> reporter: thank you. good-bye. here comes the traffic. this looks like the way out. absolutely fascinating. and is that happening right under these streets here. long term plans for a potential conflict that the country here really hopes that by joining nato that becomes an even more distant prospect. ken. >> really different world there that you are showing us. nic robertson, thank you so much. let's go now to fred pleitgen in berlin. what are the foreign ministers
1:22 am
saying there on that finland issue? >> reporter: the finland issue, they want finland in nato as fast as possible and of course sweden as well. but right now finland is one of the main points of the agenda because that is the one that could ask for that extension in the next coming hours as nic was just alluding to. one of the things that the foreign ministers of nato said as they arrived for this meeting this morning is that they say that they want to see this through very quickly. they say that finland is obviously ready for nato membership, it certainly meets all the criteria that are necessary, but they also say that if the russians are angry about finland wanting to come into nato, russians and vladimir putin only have themselves to blame. they say that it is of course finland and sweden as well looking to enhance their security and that is why they are asking for nato membership. and the germans who are hosting this meeting, they say they want to make it happen as fast as possible. listen to what the german foreign minister said as she
1:23 am
arrived. >> germany has prepared everything to do a quick ratification process and yesterday evening many, many countries has underlined this as well that it is an important part, that there won't be an interim between time, a gray zone, but that if these two countries are deciding to join, they can join very quickly. >> reporter: join very quickly she says. but of course there are still some hurdles, or one major hurdle, and that seems to be the turks. seems to be turkey. turkey saying that they are skeptical about sweden and finland joining nato, they say that they believe these places are a safe haven for terrorists as they put it, so therefore saying that right now they are not sure whether or not they want to support that. quite interesting to hear because as -- we were at the arrivals this morning for the meeting. most of the foreign ministers said that they wanted to work
1:24 am
out these issues, they believed had they could. and i tried to ask the turkish foreign minister, but he wouldn't answer the question. but that issue is still there that could be a problem. but if you look at the vast majority of member nations, they certainly want to make it happen as fast as possible and they do believe that finland and sweden will become very, very important members of nato very quickly. >> so setting finland aside for a second, for the foreign ministers getting together, another chance to express their solidarity against russia. so concretely, what might that mean? >> reporter: well, it certainly means that the nato member nations say that they are working closer together, they want to add and increase that coherence within nato. and it is really a vast majority of different things that they working on right now. because there are of course a lot of nato nations, nations within the alliance, that border the conflict region, that border ukraine or for instance russia.
1:25 am
we heard the romanian foreign minister, obviously very worried about the situation in the black sea. there is fighting going on in the black sea very close to the borders with romania. and then you have the baltic states, they are concerned about their security being neighbored of russia. at the same time hearing some of the rhetoric coming out of moscow. so what nato is trying to do is it is trying to project that coherence and increase that coherence and doing it on a military level but a political level as well. >> thanks so much, fred pl pleitgen. still ahead, the latest on the deadly shooting in buffalo, new york that investigators are investigating as a hate crime. we'll get a closer look at the platform that the suspect used to live stream the attack, that is coming up. with fragrance thahat's always fresh, never overpowering. air wick. connect to nature.

1:29 am
welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. we're turning to that deadly shooting in buffalo, new york. police say an 18-year-old white male opened fire a neighborhood grocery store saturday after traveling from another county hours away. the suspect was arraigned on one count of first-degree murder but officials say more charges could come. he pleaded not guilty. ten people were killed, three others wounded in the attack. most of the victims were african-american. here is how one witness described what happened. >> i seen a guy in full army suit just shooting shots at people. and i seen the security guard running the store and i seen the
1:30 am
guy go in army style, bent over, just shooting at people. heard him shooting at people and i saw three people laying down. and i didn't have a phone on me, so i was screaming for somebody to call the police and then he came out, he put the gun to his head, to his chin, and he dropped it and took off his bulletproof vest and then he got on his hands and knees and put his hands behind his back and they arrested him. >> the u.s. department of justice is investigating the shooting as both a hate crime and case of racially motivated extremism. sources tell cnn that investigators are reviewing 180 pages of a purported manifesto posted online allegedly written by the suspect. the author describes himself as a fascist, white supremacist and anti-semite. one of the most surreal aspects about this crime is the fact that it was live streamed on the interactive service twitch.
1:31 am
the company says it pulled the stream less than two minutes in, but many are saying that these platforms need to regulate their tent better. brian tell tstelter takes a loo. >> this crime may be another example of a live streamed murder. we've seen several times in recent years in the united states and in other countries. in the case in buffalo, authorities have confirmed the suspect was using a live streaming site to share his own point of view, his own vantage point while firing his weapon. now, twitch, which is a popular live streaming site owned by amazon, came out saturday evening and essentially confirmed that its site was used, its platform was used by the suspect. the company saying in a statement, quote, we are devastated to hear about the shooting that took place this afternoon in buffalo. our hearts go out to the community impacted by this tragedy. twitch has a zero tolerance policy against violence of any
1:32 am
kind and works swiftly to respond to all incidents. the company also saying that this user, quote, has been indefinitely suspended from our service and we are taking all appropriate action including monitoring for any accounts rebroadcasting this content. that is an important detail because in the past, in some of these cases, the videos from the point of view of the suspect have gone viral on websites and have been used by others to spread certain ideologies. so twitch in this case saying it is trying to stop that from happening. what we have seen again and again in the u.s. and elsewhere are examples of online radicalization, people spending too much time in front of their community screens, being poisoned by lies and eventually acting out in public in the real world. and then trying to share their experience on the internet while they are committing a crime. it will be very telling to see what investigators share in the coming days and weeks about this
1:33 am
live streak, about what it showed and about whether it can be used in a court of law in this case. brian stelter, cnn, new york. u.s. leaders and organizations have been voicing their anger and condemnation over another shooting allegedly driven by hate. president biden said any act of domestic terrorism including an act perpetrated in the name of a repugnant white nationalist ideology is antithetical to everything that we stand for in america. council on american islamic relations released a statement saying that we condemn the attack in buffalo today and racist rhetoric that has sparked such violence again and again. and from the naacp, this is devastating, our aerthearts areh the community and all impacted. hate and racism have no place in america. we'll have much more from buffalo coming up later on cnn.
1:34 am
buffalo isn't the only u.s. city dealing with shootings yesterday. milwaukee's mayor imposed a curfew in the entertainment district for people younger than 21 years of age after 21 people were injured in three shooting incidents. and they happened after an nba playoff game last night. no fatalities were reported. first shooting happened just blocks away from the arena, three injured. the second took place a little more than an hour later, one person was injured. and about 40 minutes later, a third shooting, this one injuring 17 people. ten people were taken into custody during the third shooting and ten guns were recovered. they are still trying to piece together exactly what happened. >> we know that there are people out there that fled or that left that saw something. if they could call and let us know what happened, we have people in custody, but that doesn't mean that we have everybody in custody. a small plane crash near miami, florida has killed one person on board and injured five

tens of thousands of people marched in cities across the u.s. on saturday in support of abortion rights. protestors took to the streets with signs and many chanted bans
1:39 am
off our bodies. it is fueled by the possibility that the supreme court may soon overturn roe v. wade which enshrined a person's right to an abortion. the court's final ruling could be released within week. about half of the u.s. states are poised to redistrict abortion should the court overturn roe. camila bernal has more from los angeles. >> reporter: thousands gathered in downtown los angeles to hear from speakers and show their support for a woman's right to an abortion, many of them out here say that they will continue to fight, they will continue to participate in these kinds of events and rallies and school walkouts in order to get the attention of people all over the country, to get them involved and to eventually get them to vote. a lot of these activists and organizers say california is a key state in all of this because the state protects the right to an abortion until the fetus is
1:40 am
vie via viable. so a lot of woman are expected to come to california searching for an abortion. i talked to the founder of the womens rights foundation and here is what she told me. >> in los angeles and california, the fight is to help our sisters in texas, in georgia, in missouri, because we're safe in california. and we can't take that for granted. because in woman is safe across the country, so how are we safe in california. so we take that personal to make sure that we fight for the other women across the country, fight with them for reproductive rights. >> reporter: and she also told me as an immigrant, they will continue to fight for this, and particularly concerned about black and brown women and their access to an abortion, women of low income. so that is why they say that they will continue this fight and aim for people to come out and support them at the ballot box. camila bernal, cnn, los angeles. donald trump's sway over u.s. republican voters will be
1:41 am
put to the test this tuesday. five of the states are holding primaries to choose nominees for n. november. and they include pennsylvania where donald trump has backed dr. oz running against david mccormick and carkathy burnett. trump is backing ted budd, and his opponents are pat mccory and hike walker. winner has to get 30% of the vote to avoid a runoff. and lebanese voters are going to the poll for the country's first general election in four years. this is lebanon's first election since the pandemic. the beirut port blast, and a major economic collapse. for the latest, ben wedeman is live from beirut. ben, obviously a lot at stake
1:42 am
here, but also seems a lot of skepticism that things will change. is that right? >> reporter: yeah, there is sept skepticism because the political elite that has ruled for decades and is really behind many of the catastrophes this country has gone through, like the economic collapse which the curse city here lost more than 90% of its value, the gdp is less than half of what it was just three years ago, the beirut port blast. many people feel that that political elite has failed them, that they are corrupt, negligent and incompetent. and therefore the hope was that after the uprising that took place in october of 2019 here where there were calls to get rid of all of the political elite, the political elite however has been able to survive these crises because of the
1:43 am
money, the power, the organization and the weapons many of them have to maintain their hold on power and most of them are running again in this election. there are about 1,000 candidates running in 15 electoral districts for 128 seats in parliament before of those 1,000, only about 200 represent people not affiliated with the political elite. so you speak to people here and they say we've come out to vote hoping that perhaps this time unlike all the other times that their vote will make a difference in getting this country out of this multiplicity of crises that has seen the quality of life here collapse. kim. >> yeah, ben, i mean, the outlook is understandably bleak for many people. but is there any sense of there being a path out of the
1:44 am
darkness? what will it take? >> reporter: well, the path many people thought would take lebanon out of this darkness that opened up in october 2019 was that new generation of political leaders would come forth and be able to somehow at least take some of the power away from the old political elite. but instead what we've seen is in many of the electoral districts, you have a variety of reformist lists competing among themselves, essentially making sure that the old political elite will maintain its majority. now, it is expected that unlike in the elections in 2018, there will be an increase in the number of nontraditional candidates, the candidates who will -- actually more people will win seats in parliament
1:45 am
representing this opposing view to the establishment. but it is still not going to be more than, say, 10% of the number of seats in parliament. so there is reason to question whether even if there are more reformists elected to parliament, they will actually make a difference. >> yeah, a lot of institutional obstacles there as well. bep ben wedeman, thank you for your reporting. more than half a billion people and counting, that is the latest projection from johns hopkins ufniversity about how many people have contracted covid worldwide since the pandemic began. and more than 6 million have died. but looking ahead the white house says that the u.s. is in for another massive surge this fall and winter. officials are predicting 100 million new cases even though some analysts question that number. a former covid response official tells cnn that it is way too early to put the coronavirus behind us.
1:46 am
>> the fact that since this january 1st, 175,000 americans have died, just in the last 4 1/2 months, that is five times any annual flu death. so we need to take this five times more seriously than we take flu and we need to lay out to the american people the common sense things that they can do in a surge. and i'm a little bit disappointed that people have been talking about a fall and winter surge. i'm worried about the summer and the summer surge that could start within the next three to four weeks across the south. >> north korea is reporting nearly 300,000 of what it calls fever cases just days after reporting its first outbreak of covid-19. state media say that there were 15 additional deaths between friday and saturday evening bringing the death toll to 42. it is not clear if or how many of those deaths were caused by covid. the entire country has been under lockdown since thursday. the outbreak could be disastrous for north korea, its health care
1:47 am
system is dilapidated and it is not known if the north has imported vaccines. and neighboring china is expected to ease restrictions after cases decreased saturday. the city will gradually reopen businesses beginning monday, this includes supermarkets, restaurants, shopping malls and more. shanghai has been under strict lockdown for more than six weeks. but it is a different situation in beijing where panic buying has emptied store shelves. authorities shut down public transport and car hailing services in some areas. more than 1.3 million residents are ordered to work from home. and it was ukraine's year at euro vision. have a look. >> ukraine! >> i hand you the trophy -- >> kalush orchestra won the trophy rapping about their mother. more after the break. let's end this habit..
