and safety in every neighborhood through zero emissions fleets. best of all, prop a won't raise your taxes. vote yes on prop a for fast, safe, reliable transit. and a warm welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm paula newton's. ahead here on "cnn newsroom," the goal rebuild economic ties across the region. plus surrender at a steel plant in mariupol. ukrainian fighters ordered to stop defending the city, and russia claiming hundreds of soldiers are now in their
11:01 pm
custody. and as the push to charge an alleged grocery store gunman with a hate crime grows, buffalo begins reflecting on the lives lost in that deadly mass shooting. and we begin in seoul, south korea, where right now joe biden is holding talks with his newly inaugurated south korean counterpart on his debut trip to asia as u.s. president. now, earlier mr. biden participated in a wreath laying ceremony at the national saerm. he wore white gloves in a show of respect to the koreans who died to protect hir country. mr. biden is now at the korean ministry of national defense for his meeting. we're expecting them to give remarks some time this hour. on friday the president said the
11:02 pm
region will prove to be critical in the years and decades to come. >> we're standing at an inflection point in history where decisions we make today will have far reaching impacts on the world we leave to our children tomorrow. >> on the agenda mr. biden's meeting with south korea's leader is of course the continued nuclear threat posed by pyeongyang. we also learned beijing is holding military drills in the south china sea divergent his visit there. now, the u.s. says north korea could conduct a missile test while the president is in the region, but even with those issues the war in ukraine is still, of course, on the mind of mr. biden. >> putin's brutal and unprovoked war in ukraine has further spotlighted the need to secure our critical supply chains so that our economy, our economic and our national security are not dependent on countries that don't share our values. >> and covering this visit we
11:03 pm
have two reporters both live from seoul. we begin with you, kevin. this is an ambitious asia trip. some say he should have made the trip earlier, and conversely there's a lot of issues at play here not just the war in ukraine but domestically. why did he feel now was the time to get this done? >> reporter: i think certainly the president would have liked to come to asia a little earlier in his presidency. both of his predecessors came here in their first years of office, but he was somewhat hampered by coronavirus restrictions and now it's the war in ukraine being waged by russia, but the president is here now on a mission to demonstrate he does continue to hold this region as a very high priority of his presidency. and he's said that both as a candidate and president that he thinks the defining challenge of the next century will be competing with china both economically and militarily.
11:04 pm
and while that's not officially the point of his visit here, that is certainly the unspoken theme of each of his stops along the way. first here in south korea and then tomorrow when he heads to japan. the president is meeting with the south korean president now behind closed doors, the peoples house they're calling it. he is expected to talk about north korea. that is certainly the issue looming over this visit. north korea could test either an underground nuclear or a long-range missile while the president is in the region. but the president's aides are very clear, and they made this point this morning when they're talking to them that's not the only issue president biden wants to talk about with his new south korean counterpart. he really wants to expand this relationship beyond just security issues related to north korea into a much more wholesome alliance related to trade, technology, economics and other
11:05 pm
security issues in the endo pacific, and he has found i think a willing partner in president yun. he's talked about positioning south korea in a more robust way on the global stage, and so that's something we do expect him to be talking about behind the scenes. this is the first meeting face to face where they'll be able to talk about substantive issues, and that's something the president takes seriously as he's developing these interpersonal relationships. oftentimes these meetings run very long because he's developing this chemistry, eely, and that's something really kind of unique to president biden. he holds that in such high regard and they do have some commonalities between the two of them, these two leaders. so it'll be interesting to see when we see them come out for this press conference later how that chemistry has evolved over the course of this meeting today, paula. >> yeah, he's certainly a
11:06 pm
president that takes great pride in his relationships. paula hancocks for us, you've been following the path of this rookie really president what he is now, and yet arguably this is the most important foreign relationship he has, trying to forge it and all it means in the defense posture and all the politics that play in south korea as well will that factor in and given the threat from north korea and the economic challenges, will he be able to from a position of strengthen forge this relationship with the u.s.? >> reporter: well, it was interesting what kevin was saying about what president biden wanted from this relationship, and that's the fact he wanted it to be more comp hepsive not just be the security partnership. and it's exactly what president yun or campaigning to be president yun was saying just months ago, saying he wanted to change the relationship between the u.s. and south korea, to make it stronger, to bring it
11:07 pm
into talk about trade, economics and security ties, not just the military aspect. so really it does appear as both sides here are moving toward the same goal of extending this relationship into something far more than just the military side of it. of course you do have 28,500 u.s. troops or there about stationed here in south korea, so that's obviously going to be one of the main factors. but president yun has said consistently he wants far more than that. as you said it has been very fractious divergent the campaign here. it certainly was a campaign of a fair bit of mudslinging from both sides to be fair. and president yun has come in at a fairly low approval rating as well. it was a election where the victor which was president yun really only won by far less than
11:08 pm
1%. so it was the closest election in history. so he understands and he's said this publicly in his inauguration speech this is a very polarized country at this point, and he said he understands he has to work towards uniting the two. he's certainly not alone in that quest. this is something president biden needs to work on, something many leaders in the world are finding at the moment, this polarization within their own countries. but certainly when it comes to north korea neither side, the u.s. or south korean intelligence agencies have pulled back from their assessment north korea is close from a missile test and potentially to a seventh underground nuclear test. now, that would change the conversation clearly between these two leaders, but it will also be very high on the agenda, how they will deal with north korea, how they could hope to bring north korea back to the negotiating table. both sides have said they're willing to talk to the lead, kim jong-un.
11:09 pm
and under the right circumstances there's been no response to that. both sides have also said they're willing to help any assistance north korea needs in its covid outbreak. it announced just over a week a ago it had a covid outbreak in pyeongyang and no response to that. >> both countries said they're willing to help with that covid outbreak. paula hancock there in seoul, appreciate it. joining me now from washington, d.c. is a senior fellow and codirector of the east asia program and director of the china program. as we wait to see how this visit unfolds he's finally getting there but given russia's military aggression, a lot has changed strategically in just a matter of months. how do you think this might affect everyone's posture in general in the region whether it has to do with north korea or even china's emboldened foreign policy stance?
11:10 pm
>> that's a great question. i think both countries in the region especially u.s. allies and partners, the biggest question is to what extent the united states will be distracted. so for this trip i think it's really important for the united states to reassure our allies and partners that the u.s. can walk and chew gum at the same time. so the u.s. does not have to be bogged down in europe, and u.s. can still maintain commitment and credibility in the indo pacific region and especially in the west pacific where china's growing threat is become increasingly present problem. >> and to remind everyone, you know, in the obama years we had the pivot to asia even and things have changed so much since then. the u.s. continues to warn north korea could conduct a missile test divergent the visit. the u.n. has been in such close contact with china this week. what influence does china have
11:11 pm
over north korea's actions? and even if they have influence, will they use it? >> well, by their treaty china and north korea are still allies. they have a mutual defense clause in their treaty. and in terms of damage relations and trade, china is pretty much the sole provider of trade and economic assistance of north korea. so by that you could didact china has more influence than any other country in the whole world, but whether china will use that influence is a completely different matter. first off the chinese find les incentive or zero or no incentive to help the united states with the countries on the issue of north korea. instead china is willing to hold north korea as leverage for future negotiation and bargain with the united states.
11:12 pm
secondly, we know north korea has maintained a moratorium on their nuclear tests and ballistic missile tests. and the chinese argument has been north korea should be rewarded for their refrained -- refrained from provocation from conducting nuclear tests. and so far such res prusty or reward in the form of beefing up sanctions in north korea has not happened. therefore the chinese almost see certain legitimacy or reasonable ground for north korea to engage in provocations. >> before i let you go australia, india, the united states, japan, how much do you think they'll be able to strengthen that alliance? >> i think the arrangement, the pod arrangement which is a security architecture, but i wouldn't call it the security alliance just yet because the
11:13 pm
mutual defense is not yet present for the q quad arrangement. i would say the quad has been doing well in supply chain arrangements and also regional security discussion. with india most people would question in this position and whether india is truly on our side. because if you look at india's ambivalence towards russia and the russian war with ukraine some people would question where does india really stand on this issue. but i would like to remind people quad is focused on the indo pacific region and the primary focus being china. on the issue of china india doesn't have much of a difference of opinion with the united states because both india and china -- both india and the united states see china as a growing threat to their national security. so i would say on the issue of india although we might have
11:14 pm
diverging perceptions and diverging views on issue of russia, u.s. and india pretty much on the same page on the issue of china. >> listen, you've done a great job in setting the table for us on what really will be a very eventful trip in the next few days. joining us from washington, appreciate it. >> thank you. turning now to the war in ukraine and the situation at the steel plant in mariupol. russia claims more than 530 ukrainian forces surrendered on friday after the ukrainian commander there ordered his fighters to stop defending the city. now, cnn cannot confirm if all ukrainians have left the massive industrial site. russia says hundreds of those soldiers are now being held at a formal penal territory of ukraine. even as russian troops withdraw from kharkiv they continue to shell villages they once occupy. on friday one of those towns was hit with incendiary missions.
11:15 pm
cnn's nick paten walsh has our report. >> reporter: putin would choke the light and life out of here. we are driving into the smoke of an incendiary munitions attack we're told here against this civilian village. home, fields, even the air itself torched. vira says she saw it falling from the sky and her neighbor hit. >> reporter: the incendiary munition which burns hot through everything in its path came after normal heavy shelling, which makes you question like so much here why russia needed to heap fire on top of heavy explosive. it hit just ten minutes ago, this man says, pointing away.
11:16 pm
some left bewildered, others in the first moments of shock. va vallen teen tina is very matter of fact as she describes what happened to victor in her neighbor's house. she shows us the courtyard where a dad man lies, a large hole in his chest and ear torn off. she points to the body just behind the tree and then says who he is. victor had rushed to check on their neighbor's home. russia occupied here for weeks, and as it retreats these tiny
11:17 pm
corners of green are where it -- up the road toward russia's last positions before the border the shells land even closer. natalia's husband died in shelling weeks ago and her house is like almost everything here, ruined . for weeks occupied she lived across the street from an enormous russian base. our guides from ukrainian rapid response unit are cautious with intense fighting up the road, and they know the russians got comfortable here. their base even needed this
11:18 pm
aircraft warning device up high to tell russian jets it was friendly. this is their problem. each time they move forward. here they are in what was once a russian position, and look all around you. impossible to know who's really in control of this area with a fight happening just on the other side of the hill. the smell of corpses among the pines. under every footstep the threat of mines. everywhere you look, foxholes, ammunition boxes, clearly a significant russian base here. they're calling it a little town, using this forest as cover. but clearly hit really hard. the two of the unknown russian soldiers, this says. ghoulish relics here where it once buzzed with the brutish clumsy task of besieging the city. smoldering in the trees here but swallowed in their tall silence. >> and our thanks to nick paten

the u.s. justice department says it will use every legal tool it has to combat hate crimes in the country as the investigation into the mass shooting in buffalo, new york, moves forward now. the news came as the heart breaking work of laying the victims to rest has begun. cnn's brian todd is in buffalo where the community is remembering the lives of those lost to hate. >> reporter: an outpouring of support at the first funeral in buffalo in the wake of saturday's racist supermarket shooting. one of the ten victims, hayward patterson, a church deacon was honored by friends, parishioners and the community. >> when patterson got shot he was actually loading groceries into the back of a vehicle
11:24 pm
helping somebody else. >> reporter: another friend says the community is angered but -- can you forgive this gunman? >> i have to. >> reporter: some people would argue you don't have to. >> well, i'm a christian. you have to. it's mandatory for us. >> reporter: the buffalo suspect's racism was evident divergent a previous visit to the store, according to an employee who survived the shooting. >> he told me i looked like i didn't belong there, like, you know -- i said what do you belong by that? then under his breath i could hear him say just another lover. and i just thought, you know, that's just rude, you're just rude. >> reporter: another store employee who survived told cnn she called 911 and the operator scolded her for wisperring. >> i gave her the address and said please send help, there's a person in the store shooting.
11:25 pm
and she proceeded to say to me, what, i can't hear you, why are are you wisperring? you don't to whisper, they can't hear you. >> reporter: she dropped her phone and disconnected. >> i was laying on the floor and praying he didn't see me. and divergent this whole time it's constant shooting, he won't stop. it's constantly going. and as i hear him getting closer i just press myself, like, try to get as flat as i can on the ground and up against the counter praying to god he wouldn't see me. >> reporter: in addition to the profound grief this community is feeling there's also the potential for real economic fallout. several people in this neighborhood told us it took local leaders years to get this tops supermarket established in this neighborhood. and then when it was other businesses like banks quickly followed. they're now worried even when this tops store reopens as promised that the economic

viability of this neighborhood could take a real nosedive. the u.s. state of oklahoma could soon have the strictest abortion laws in the nation, essentially banning all abortions with very few exceptions. the bill now needs to be approved by oklahoma's republican governor. >> we believe life begins at conception and we're going to protect life in oklahoma. >> reporter: republican governor kevin stitt not mincing his words promising to make oklahoma the most anti-abortion state in the country. passing a bill on thursday that would ban adding to a growing number of republican looming states advancing strict measures in anticipation of the supreme court overturning roe v. wade. >> this bill does not preclude any other programs seeking to help women and children in difficult times. what this bill does is protect
11:27 pm
life. >> reporter: the bill sparked immediate push back from state democrats. >> people will die. women will die because they cannot access a procedure they need to save their own life, and it will be on our conscience. >> reporter: vice president kamala harris calling it the latest in a series of blatant attacks on women by extremist legislators while on thursday offering a grim preview of a post-roe america. >> it represents a threat not just to women but all americans. at its core this is about our future as a nation, about whether we live in a country where the government can interfere in personal decisions. >> reporter: oklahoma's bill would ban abortions at any stage of pregnancy unless it was a result of rape, sexual assault or incest but only if those crimes have been reported to law enforcement. while there are exceptions for medical emergencies it effectively prohibits almost all abortions in the state. it allows private citizens for enforcement, allowing them to
11:28 pm
sue any individual who knowingly engages in conduct that aids or abets in abortion. >> this law was designed to encourage people to bring frivolous and harassing lawsuits. it's basically all access pass to the courthouse to bring a lawsuit against somebody for something that you think may be taking place. >> reporter: the bill now heads to governor stitt's desk who's promised to sign any legislation that limits abortion. just last month he signed a bill modeled after a texas legislation that prohibits abortions as early as six weeks before many women even know their pregnant. the bill does allow for exceptions in medical emergencies. >> other states can do things differently but we're going to stand for life in the state of okla oklahoma. >> reporter: there are just four clinics in the entire state that offer these services. two of them have stopped providing abortions. once governor stitt signs this near total ban into law, it goes
11:29 pm
into effect immediately, and that is when the other two clinics will cease providing abortions leaving women with no options in the state. lucy kafanov, cnn, oklahoma. coming up while her husband is in south korea u.s. first lady jill biden on the road as well with her own diplomacy. the latest on her latin-american tour just ahead. and in the coming hours one of these two men will likely know whether he'll be the next australian prime minister r for the next three years. the latest in a live report. inspired by the scents of nature you love. air wick. connect t to natur.

and welcome back to our viewers here in the united states. i'm pallia newton. turning now to south korea where we're waiting to hear from president joe biden and the south korean president after the two leaders wrapped up their talks in seoul. you see it there. we're awaiting and standing by. they'll be making the remarks and hopefully taking some questions from the media. they'll also be discussing provocations by north korea and expected to focus much of the meeting to focus on that. the u.s. state department says there are still concerns pyeongyang may conduct a missile launch while mr. biden is in the
11:35 pm
region. if that were to happen the president and his south korean counterpart and made plans over how they would jointly respond. mr. biden isn't the only white house resident traveling internationally this weekend. u.s. first lady jill biden touched down in panama friday for the second leg of her latin-american tour. she meat with panama's first lady before heading utto a school for children with disabilities. she'll then travel to costa rica and push ahead to the u.n. hosted summit of americas in los angeles next month. now, a setback for the biden administration. a federal judge in louisiana has blocked it from ending a trump-era restriction on immigration called title 42. now, it's a measure instituted divergent the pandemic that allows authorities to turn migrants away at the border. last month the cdc announced plans to end it because of the availability of vaccines and other covid fighting tools. the white house says they will appeal that ruling. officials are still counting

votes in pennsylvania's republican senate primary, and trump endorsed tv personality mehmet oz, is still holding onto the slimmest of leads over former hedge fund executive david mccormick. now, there's less than half of a percentage point difference between them, meaning the race is likely headed to an automatic recount. whoever wins the republican primary will face john fetterman this fall in the general election. australians have just a few more hours to go to the polls and choose the party that will lead their country for the next three years. incumbent prime minister scott morrison seeking re-election for his coalition right government and the labor party headed by the party veteran. we want to get the latest now from cnn's ana coren. and i know you've been watching this closely, and you've been speaking to voters who were supporters of scott morrison and
11:37 pm
his coalition and have been really turned off now. >> reporter: look, the coalition which is the liberal national party has been in power for 19 of the past 25 years. and, look, traditionally they have a strong economic record. australia has done exceptionally well divergent the pandemic. you know, people have managed to get on with their lives relatively unscathed. well, now, however, inflation is biting. cost of living is going up. fuel prices are going up. but it's not just, you know, people feeling it in the pocket. generally, paula, people have just had enough of scott morrison and his government. he himself has been in power since 2018 after a leadership spill in coalition. he won the election in 2019 that was describe as a miracle because the polls suggested he would lose.
11:38 pm
he's now looking for a second miracle, but he is deeply unpopular among the electorate. and he is trailing in the polls. let's take a listen to what he had to say a little bit earlier after he cast his vote. >> what i know every day i've approached this job with a great sense of responsibility. on every day i've sought to do it with a great sense of humility with out of respect for the people i serve. and i'm seeking that support because i know this country is facing strong and difficult and challenging times. and what australia needs is someone who knows how to manage money, knows how to deal with our national security interests, knows how to beably to move forward and secure that strong economy because a strong economy means a stronger future. >> now, paula, australia is undoubtedly going to be facing some tough economic head winds, but voters do not care.
11:39 pm
they are looking perhaps to the labor party. anthony has been a deputy leader under a previous labor government, he's somebody who's been there in the labor landscape for a very long time. he's not overly popular, either. but he is the best of a bad bunch. that is the way people have explained it to me. he's also got a really interesting story. he's the son of a single mother. he's the first person of his family who went to university. he is of the middle working class of australia, and he really is much more empathetic than what scott morrison is perceived to be. so anthony when he spoke after casting his ballot, he said i want to unite the country. if i become prime minister i want to bring australia together because it's been exceptionally divisive, you know, and it has been. so from the people that i've
11:40 pm
spoken to, paula, who have been die hard liberal voters all their life, they say for the first time they're going to vote labor. other people are sick of the two party system and they're going to be voting independent, but there really is this swing against the current government. >> we'll get a sense how people feel. voting is compulsory in australia. the u.s. will soon get a much needed delivery of baby formula thanks to suppliers abroad and military aircraft. details on the ongoing nationwide shortage ahead. and i get seven days to lolove t or my money back... i love it!
