hello and welcome to our viewers here in the united states and all around the world. i'm michael holmes. appreciate your company. coming up here on "cnn newsroom" a chilling 911 call during a texas school massacre. a child revealing, quote, a lot of bodies in the classroom pleading for help as officers fail to storm in. after 100 days of war russia

continues to press forward. and some of the harshest restrictions remain in china. why the brutal behavior of the workers enforcing it have many people concerned. >> announcer: live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with michael holmes. the mass shooting at an elementary school in uvalde, texas, was an unthinkable tragedy. 19 young students, two teachers gunned down. but now we're hearing more chilling details about police failures on that terrible day. a state senator says the incident commander police chief pete arradondo did not have a police radio on him at the time of the shooting. we're also getting new information about a desperate 911 call made by a 10-year-old student while the shooter stalked the building.

cnn's ed lavandera with the latest. >> reporter: new questions raised in the investigation of the deadly school shooting in uvalde. texas state senator says the school district police chief didn't have a radio with him at the scene, something that may have hindered his ability to communicate directly with police dispatchers. >> i have been told this person did not have, this person being the incident commander, did not have radio communication and i don't know as to why. >> reporter: gutierrez says he learned the school district chief didn't have a radio from a law enforcement official at dps. cnn has reached out to uvalde police and the school district for comment on gutierrez's statements and to chief arradondo to confirm if he had a radio, but we have not heard back. arradondo is facing serious criticism for making the call to not send officers sooner into the adjoining classrooms where the gunman killed 19 students and two teachers. >> i don't think any of us need to be rational people or policemen to understand that

active shooter protocol says you go in, you go in immediately. >> reporter: gutierrez says he wants to know more what happened at robb elementary school that day including what information was relayed to first responders on the campus from 911 calls from inside the school. like this one from a transcript revealed by the "the new york times" from 10 yoerld student chloe torres who survived the masquer. there are a lot of bodies. my teacher is dead, please send help, send help for my teacher. she is shot but still alive. torres call lasted for 17 minutes. according to the transcript, 11 minutes into it the sound of gunfire could be heard. the senator says he was told by the commission on state emergency communications that the 911 calls were relayed to the city's police force. what remains unclear is whether or not that information was given to the school district police chief, pete ardaunldo. questions have also been raised

how the gunman got into the school. initially investigators said it was through a propped open door. an attorney for the educator amellia marin sense she was the one who propped open the door helping a coworker carry in items but she closed the door when she heard people yelling he's got a gun but her attorney says in the days that followed she was overcome with emotions thinking she may not have closed the door after all. >> it really shocked her. it hurt her. it scared her even made her second guess her own memories. and so the rangers had to tell her, no, we've looked at the video. you didn't do anything wrong. and still she was worried. >> reporter: authorities clarified last week that the door didn't lock after marin kicked it shut. preliminary death certificates were released today for 20 of the 21 victims in this shooting. even though we knew all of them

died from gunshot wounds it really is the first official documentation that details the gruesome nature of this attack. and in those documents it said the vast majority of these victims had been struck by multiple gunshots. ed lavandera, cnn, uvalde, texas. now, as you heard in ed's report the attack had been going on for more than half an hour when that 10-year-old called 911 pleading to be rescued. questions growing, of course, over how much uvalde's police department knew about calls coming from inside the classroom. the police department's actions and inactions have infuriated many law enforcement professionals. cnn law enforcement analyst anthony barksdale weighs in. >> it's certainly this chief, the incident commander was so ill prepared to deal with this. and i have so many questions. you're still hearing shots.

you're still a green light for an active shooter situation. there was no justification that this should have moved to a hostage barricade situation. they should have kept going after the shooter. deep concerns, sickening this chief didn't have a radio as an incident commander. when you run the incident command system and you choose to be incident commander it is for command control and coordination. how the hell are you the incident commander without your radio? this is -- it's just unacceptable. >> cnn law enforcement analyst anthony barksdale. peter navarro has been indicted for refusing to cooperate with the house committee investigating the january 6th insurrection at the capitol. he faces two counts of contempt of congress one for not

producing documents demanded by the committee and the other for failing to show up for subpoenaed testimony. navarro is the second former trump aide to be charged with contempt of congress after steve bannon, but the investigation dealt a major blow when the department of justice revealed on friday that it will not indict two other former trump white house officials. cnn's ryan nobles with the latest for us from the capitol. >> reporter: the department of justice informing the january 6th select committee it will not indict the former white house chief of staff mark meadows or his deputy dan scuswavino for criminal contempt of congress despite the two men did not comply. this is a blow to the committee as they try to put some weight to the subpoenas they've handed down. they still have a number of subpoenas outstanding at this point including five subpoenas for republican members of congress that these republican members have defied up until

this point, and the committee has not said how they plan to enforce. while that was certainly a blow to the committee to lose out on the scavino criminal contempt referrals they did have some success peter navarro, a white house trade advisor openly defiant of the subpoena was indicted by the department of justice will now face criminal prosecution and if convicted could face-up to two years in prison and fines around $200,000. this all comes at an important time for the committee. they begin their hearings, their big public hearings thursday of next week, the first one in prime time, 8:00 p.m. eastern. that's where the committee promises they will reveal much of what they've been working on behind closed doors, essentially lay the ground work for what will be a months worth of hearings on a number of topics of different parts of their investigation and what they have learned. this could be an important part of their public relations strategy as they try to reinvest the american people into what

happened here on january 6th and why there needs to be changes and people held accountable. of course they're still planning on issuing a final report some time this fall. ryan nobles, cnn on capitol hill. >> joining me now to talk about the january 6th hearings and gun control, cnn's senior political analyst ron brownstein. i want to start with this, the guard issue. chris jacobs, he's a republican representative from buffalo where that gunman massacred people at a super market. so he comes out after that and calls for an assault weapons ban and within days his re-election campaign is destroyed with a backlash from his own party. it really does say everything about the chances of gun law reform in washington, doesn't it? >> yeah, it says everything you need to know about the revolution of the republican party. you know when we passed the esalt weapon ban in the u.s. in 1994 when joe biden was still in the senate, 38 house republicans

voted for it, ten senate republicans. when george w. bush ran for president in 2000 -- people forget this -- he promised to sign an extension if congress would pass one. of course the republican-controlled congress didn't and he allowed it to die. that's a reflection how much this issue has moved within the republican party. and it's not necessarily a shift of opinion within the coalition. if you look at polling even as recently as last year from the pew research center, a majority of republicans who don't own guns still support the two things that that congressman said he would move toward, high capacity magazine and ban on assault weapons. but opposition is enormous to those ideas on republicans who do own guns, and their influence in the party i think has only grown over the past quarter century as republicans have become more dependent on the votes or the most culturally conservative parts of the country, a change before trump

which he accelerated. and the irony even as the national rifle association gets weaker as an institution its hold on the republican party is getting stronger because of the change itself. >> all right, absolutely. and just worth pointing out there have been 20 mass shootings since uvalde. that's incredible. 20 in the few days since that one. let's talk january 6th, the committee investigating the insurrection at the capitol. a new phase, if you like. prime time hearings next week. what do you expect blockbuster or theater? >> i expect blockbuster. this committee has been really well-run. by and large it has not put the cart ahead of the horse. i mean the information we've gotten from them have mostly been through legal filings they've submitted to try and obtain more information. they've done an enormous amount of interviewing. they've assembled an enormous

amount of documentary evidence, and they are indicating there are going to be kind of shocking revelations here, and i -- as well as probably the most coherent attempt we have had yet to piece this all together and show how the violence on january 6th was part of a much broader effort to undermine the election. i think it's going to be eye opening for a lot of people if they're willing to have their eyes opened. >> well, that's true of course. the other thing, too, if republicans take back control of congress in november time could well be up for the committee. republicans will shut it down. how much pressure is there on democrats to get as much of the committee's work finished and public ahead of the mid-terms? >> well, ahead of the change over in congress, absolutely. i think there's no doubt republicans are going to shutdown this committee. they've been trying to shut it down. it's extraordinary to see members of congress itself refusing to comply with a, you know, request for information and subpoenas from a committee

in a body in which they serve. it's really, i think, the extent to which republican leaders in congress have tried to undermine this committee and normalize what happened on january 6th by portraying any investigation of it as sort of partisanship as usual, you know, dismissing the whole thing as an attempt for partisan gain by democrats is on the one hand shocking, and on the other hand based on everything we've seen over the last five years not shocking. in either case i think it's a good indication where you can expect any interest in trump's role and what happened january 6th as the republicans take over. >> a lot of people i've talked to in the last four or five years said nothing ever happens. i think it's fair to say no un in power has been able to account for january 6th over other misdeeds over the trump years. do you think from what we've seen and heard so far when it comes to the insurrection that

will change in terms of people in power? >> you know i forget who said it but someone described a coup without consequence as practice. and i think there's a lot of truth to that. i mean, people who study, the strong men, the rise of strong men around the world say the single most important thing in defending democracy is to impose consequences for attempts to undermine it. so i don't know the answer about whether there will ultimately be consequences. that really depends on the grand jury investigating in fulton county, georgia, but even more on the justice department. i mean, the justice department should not be relying on a county prosecutor in georgia to establish consequences that it is unwilling to pursue themselves. it is hard to believe from the -- the evidence already has been presented by this january 6th committee, that there is no one at the highest -- higher levels of power who should not be charged on -- on their actions around january 6th, but

we don't really have a feeling about whether merrick garland and ultimately joe biden have the stomach for a proskoogz that would be portrayed on the right exorably as politicizing political difference. >> ron brownstein, thanks so much as always. >> thanks, michael. 100 days and counting of brutal conflict. ukraine says the city appears to be the next target of russian aggression. we'll have the latest when we come back.

attacking ukraine now for more than 100 days. neither sideshowing any sign of giving up. the international red cross says the level of destruction defies comprehension. the most intense fighting is centered on severodonetsk. moscow continues to press its relentless assault across the donbas region. ukraine says russian troops are

amassing for a renewed assault on the key sit of sloviansk, but to the south ukraine claims its forces have progressed in the kherson region re-claiming several kilometers of previously russian occupied territory. the human toll in ukraine almost incalculable, of course. some 12 million ukrainians have been internally displaced by the fighting according to the president volodymyr zelenskyy. and even if the war ended right now many of those people, of course, would have no home to return to. in the capital there's almost a surreal sense of normality, however. more now from cnn's matthew chance. >> reporter: well, you join me here in the heart of the ukrainian capital kyiv. you can see a 100 days after the start of this war with russia and life seems to have returned to some degree of normality. that's right, isn't it? >> yeah. >> reporter: it's gotten a bit

better. and they're having their lunches and coffees out on the street just like it was before february 24th when the russians attacked. but, of course, behind all this you've got to remember the massive price that ukraine has paid. 20% of the country's territory has now been occupied by russian forces. that's according to the ukrainian president. there have been, i mean, countless casualties, deaths. there's no exact figure, but when you talk about soldiers and civilians on both sides the estimates run into tens of thousands of people who have been killed, who have lost their lives. and then there are millions more who have been uprooted. 12 million internally displaced people as a result of the fighting. ukrainian officials we've spoken to say 5 million people have actually left the country. many of them to russia. ukrainian officials accuse russia of forcibly evacuating hundreds of thousands of people from ukrainian territory into the territory of the russian

federation. and despite all this calm here you can see elsewhere in ukraine the military situation is very dire indeed. there are fierce fighting -- there's fierce fighting taking place in the east of the country in donbas where there is a battle still under way for the control of the city of severodonetsk under 80% russian control and a counter offensive as well with ukrainian forces trying to take back territory that's already been conquered by forces to the south as well. a lot of ebb and flow between the two sides still. and even 100 days after this conflict began there's no sign of it coming to an end because both sides, both the russians and ukrainians appear to be digging in for a very long fight. back to you. now, the u.s. has been

portraying the ukrainian war azine epic geo political struggle between democracy and at at autocracy. >> for the better part of the 21st century democrats have been on the defensive. it seems like autocracy has been advancing, and it's been advancing on some claims that autocrats and would-be autocrats make such as for example decisions are made more swiftly and you can make better decisions not constrained by interest groups and public opinions and parties in autocracies. we now see how zrasitous it can be when the top leaders are not contrained. there's no one around putin to tell him not to make this decision so he made this decision and nobody could stop

him. meanwhile in the democracies the guys under constant pressure like biden are making masterful decisions and showing the competence of their side. what's more we see, for example, that the corruption in the armed forces, which, you know, corruption is a hallmark of autocracy, has undermined russian fighting force's capacity. putin has really a very incompetent military and is being held back by vastly undernumbered ukrainian forces. democracies look much better than it used to. >> yeah, and morale through the floor on the russian side. sanctions in place. of course many western stores are closed, many western products gone from the shelves. harsher sanctions from spare parts to military technology they're yet to fully hit. how much of the fall out from the war has begun to hit street level, hit pockets, if you like? and what could happen if the gets worse? >> it has actually begun to hit peoples pockets as you mention,

but as you also say the worst is yet to come. look, we know in the states how hard it is to live under 8% inflation. that's what we've got right now and of course inflation is high all over the world. but in russia it's running close to 20%. that's obviously already affecting peoples pocketbooks in a big way, and it's bound to just rise. inflation is going to rise. russia is teetering on the edge of default. after default it's going to be almost impossible for it to borrow any money on global capital markets. that means no growth, higher unemployment, it means shoddy government services. and this is the new normal for russians. so, you know, i do think this is actually going to take a toll on support for putin and for the war. and as especially as people grow weary over the months and the sanctions bite even more deeply. >> university of california professor steven fish speaking to us a short time ago. now, russian president putin he's pushing back against accusations he's using food as a

weapon of war. ukraine says half of its grain exports are held up because of russia's blockade of its ports. putin says russia is not stopping ukraine from exporting its food. rather he told a state broadcaster ukraine mind its own ports not russia. the russian president says russia can increase its grain production next year to help fill gaps in global supply. china's covid enforcers are known as big whites, and their pandemic policing efforts are sending shock waves through the country. we'll have a report on that after the break. employment stai was at work, in a giant hole, in a mine. but then something amazing happened. hello? carvana worked with my shift manager and got everything sorted out to i didn't miss out on the car. super helpful. i was over the moon, even though i was underground.

an offer of vaccines from china. in fact covax scaled back north korea's allotment in february because the country failed to arrange any shipments. north korea has also failed to respond to vaccine offers from the u.s. and south korea. north korean leader kim jong-un said earlier this week that conditions were improving, a claim quickly disputed by the world health organization. now, china itself has seen some easing of pandemic restrictions, but many of its stringent zero-covid policies are still in place enforced by workers clad in hazmat suits and known as the "big whites." as cnn reports now their brutal behavior is shocking the nation. a word of warning, viewers might find some of the images disturbing.

>> reporter: this is a common sight in china, armies of workers in full body protected gear. shanghai might be exiting its harsh lock down but china's covid war is not over. since lock downs began in cities across china hazmat suits have become symbols to many as brutality and orthoritarian a access. a covid worker forcefully shoves a woman to the ground. she hits the pavement, then clutches her head in pain. in another video a covid worker kicks and slaps a man to the ground. and a brigade of covid enforcers drag this woman out of her apartment in shanghai. she screams she'll go with them if she can just get her shoes. she tries to resist with all her strength but in vain. cnn was not able to verify the identities of the people involved or the circumstances in these videos or even if they all related to covid control and

authorities did not respond to multiple requests for comments. most of the big whites are health care workers, volunteers and police officers genuinely trying to help their communities. while extreme violence from these covid enforces is rare, these viral videos have sparked outrage, underscoring peoples frustrations with china's zero covid policy. this video in particular horrified shanghai residents earlier when they were locked down. it shows nine police officers in hazmat suits surrounding a man in a shanghai community with some relenltlessly beating and kicking him. he tries to run away, but they catch him and continue to throw their punches. cnn geolocated where this beating happened. i called the local police station. so she seems to have seen the video. she knows the video exists. she says she's going to call over her colleague who's going to give me a call back. but i never got the call back so i tried again.

he told me that this never happened and then he just hung up. this isn't the image of covid control that china wants. this is more desirable. government propaganda has called covid enforces big whites, a nod to the cute and inflasable robot from big hero 6. >> hello. i am your personal health care companion. >> reporter: the state media videos aren't lifting people spirits, leading dances in quarantine centers, helping the elderly, even climbing ladders to deliver covid tests. but the innocent image of the big whites soiled by the horrific behavior of some who are possibly empowered by the anonymity under their white suits. video shows them beating residents, barricading them in their homes, breaking doors to take them to quarantine, climbing through windows to disinfect, even beating pets to

death. chinese social media have even started calling the covid enforces as white guards referring to the red enforcers of the cultural revolution who savagely beat, tortured and killed. but most of these videos are gone, censored by chinese social media. the big whites cruelty already seared in so many minds, shaking peoples faith in the chinese government. salina wang, cnn, beijing. fears of a recession might be lingering over the u.s. economy, but new jobs are hardly in short supply. still ahead, job creation steams ahead despite the impacts of high inflation. plus the u.k. gives its thanks to the queen. hundreds of people gathered at st. paul's cathedral to share their appreciation for britain's longest rereigning market.

millions of people in southern florida, cuba, and the bahamas are under tropical storm warnings and watches. they're bracing for the system already in the area to gain strength and possibly become tropical storm alex in the hours ahead. it would likely move over florida saturday afternoon.

and as you can already see, it's slamming cuba at the moment. one person found dead. 50,000 in havana without power. the system expected to bring heavy rain, flooding, possibly tornadoes. meteorologist karen maginnis knows a lot more about it han me. what are you seeing? >> yes. the national hurricane center has issued its 2:00 a.m. eastern time advisory. there has not been a lot of change here. yes, it is moving off towards the northeast, and if you're viewing us and watching from central to south florida, yes, it looks like much of saturday is going to be impacted by these heavy downpours. the deep convection is along the eastern edge of this system. it is still not a tropical storm. but there is a distinction maybe with only a slight difference. right now it has 40-mile-per-hour winds. it is moving off towards the northeast at kind of a moderate pace. as it does, it is bringing these heavy downpours. that's not the only thing. we could see a spinup of

tornadoes. most of them will generally be fairly weak. but there could be a storm surge in some of these south florida regions. also into the florida keys and the dry tortugas. and as we saw the video over western sections of cuba, and then impacting the northern bahama islands, abaco and eleuthera. several islands could see pretty heavy downpours. do i think this is going to be a tropical storm before it makes landfall? it is highly doubtful, although this particular computer model does suggest it will be a minimal tropical storm. but its impacts are here nonetheless. even though it's not named tropical system, it's still a potential tropical cyclone. as it moves out into the atlantic, though, i do think it will become a tropical storm. indeed, the computer models are also suggesting that still kind of an iffy environment here. but nonetheless, water temperatures still relatively warm. and more conducive environment. how much rainfall can we expect

here? it's going to be fairly moderate to heavy, but not just that. even though it moves away, if you're planning on going to some of those beaches around marco island, beautiful. also, naples, florida. and into that florida metropolitan area with a high population density, there is still going to be the rip current that means that current could take you well out into the ocean. so be aware of that. you'll see the flags on those beaches being raised. and it's going to alert you that there is still the danger there. and then going into sunday, it looks pretty good. there is still the risk for that still the ever present tropical winds. it could be still prevalent here. but still, the rip current is going to be possible as well. we'll stay on top of it, michael. back to you. >> all right, karen. really appreciate it. good to see you, my friend. and thank you for spending part of your day with me. i'm michael holmes. you can follow me on twitter and instagram @holmes cnn.
