this is cnn breaking news. welcome to our viewers joining us in the united states and around the world. i'm max foster in lobbed. we're following breaking news this hour. it is about the british prime minister boris johnson. he's going to face a vote of confidence in the uk parliament later today. it's just been announced. comes amid a backlash of parties held at downing street during covid lockdowns and a huge amount of tensions in his own party about the way he's handling the cost of living crisis. downing street says mr. johnson

welcomes the opportunity to make his case. here is the british mp brady who is in charge of collating the letters that pushed for this vote. >> i notified the prime minister yesterday that the threshold had been reached, and we agreed the timetable for a confidence vote to take place, and he shared my view, which is also in line with the rules that we have in place, that that vote should happen as soon as could reasonably take place, and that would be today. >> associate fellow at the european house joins me now. not a complete surprise. this announcement was delayed so as not to interrupt with the jubilee celebrations. just explain what happens now. there will be a vote. what needs to happen in the vote

for boris to go if that's what the mps want? >> the truth is it's not absolutely cut and dried that he has to lose the vote to go. if it's a clear rejection by enough members of the conservative party, he would be very seriously weakened. having said which, i suspect that the luck of boris johnson is still out there that this vote is actually a bit early for the rebels to really get rid of him now because he's got two potentially very damaging local bi-elections looming in a couple of weeks' time. and if he loses those very badly, it might have been toast for him. actually, he's going to get this vote over and done with today and he might just get away with it, but he'll be damaged. that's the danger. >> so for him to either win or

lose, it's 180 mps. that's the magic number. o he needs the support of 180 mps. he has over 100 on the payroll. they are more likely to support him. if you look at that, he is unlikely to lose the vote currently? >> yes, i agree. he's unlikely to see 180 vote against him. but say 150 voted against him. he would be very badly damaged in these circumstances. so i think it's not going to be an easy process to get over, and i think this won't resolve everything tonight. the fate of boris johnson is still hanging in the balance, and it's an extraordinary situation where the country has just come through this four days of great celebration of the queen of england, the trusted figure. but at the same time there is a prime minister who is really dangling and is booed going into

st. paul's cathedral. he looks really in trouble. >> i was at the concert saturday night when he arrived. he was booed heavily there. says so much about the divisiveness around him. some cheers as well, has to be said. but to clarify what happens if he loses the vote tonight. if more than 180 mps vote against boris johnson tonight, that doesn't mean he has to resign? what happens from there? >> well, i think the conservative party has to straight away set up the process of electing a new leader. i think he would have to go, really, immediately. i don't think he would hang around if he lost that vote. but boris johnson has surprised us all in the past. he's a man who never quits willingly, so i suppose he could hang on. but i think that really it would be inevitable the conservative

party would immediately go into the process of electing a new leader, and that's not an immediate process. we don't even have clear candidates who are standing there because the very strange situation we're in is that there are no clear alternative teams up and running. nobody really wants this to happen, but at the same time, nobody on the back benches of the conservative party wants to drag this process out with a losing figure as prime minister. that's the danger they face. >> okay. quinton, this is going to be a very interesting day. thank you for joining us. that vote will be between 6:00 and 8:00 local time, probably 1:00 to 3:00 eastern in the afternoon. then the announcement of the result will be shortly after that. now to south korea's show of defiance against the north, south korea, and the u.s. launched eight surface to surface missiles earlier monday as a direct response to

pyongyang's eight short range ballistic missiles sunday. u.s. also conducted joint missile defense exercises with japanese forces. both actions sending a clear message to north korea the region is ready to act if threatened. cnn's ivan watson joins me live from hong kong. how are you reading all of the optics of these exercises, ivan? >> reporter: well, max, there are no known direct communications right now between the newly elected south korean government and the north korean government, nor between the biden administration and pyongyang. and so in the absence of a dialogue we see this very different unusual method of communication, tit-for-tat missile launches. north korea fires eight short range ballistic missiles on the morning sunday from four different locations across korea, and less than 24 hours later the u.s. and south korea, two close military allies,

announced they have fired their own eight missiles. and you're seeing the footage that they released. these were fired off before dawn on monday. it's not the first time that the u.s. and south korea have response -- responded to north korea's missile launches that have increased in frequency over the course of the last year with their own missile launches. what is different is hearing about a bilateral ballistic missile defense exercise that the u.s. and japan conducted on sunday hours after the north korean launch. if you want to kind of see where things are headed right now, look at this list of north korea's missile launches this year alone. this is the 17th launch. so you can see the military activity there, all of which is presumably banned according to the united nations security council resolutions levied against north korea. then take a broader look, max, and look at north korea's

ballistic missile activity over the course of the past several years. we haven't hit the peak of 2019, and that's when donald trump was the u.s. president and was engaging in historic face to face diplomacy with the dictator. you're on an up swing for north korean activity. kim jong-un is facing new adversaries. the biden administration and a newly elected conservative south korean president who is vowing to stand strong against what he describes as north korean provocations. max? >> in hong kong, thank you. cnn has confirmed since friday, at least nine mass shootings in the u.s. have killed 12 people and will wounded at least 59 others. of the nonprofit gun violence archives says so far this year, the united states us has seen 246 mass shootings. defined as an incident where, at least four people are shot excluding the shooter. in south carolina this weekend,

shooting at a graduation party killed one person and wounded seven others. parts of philadelphia are under curfew in the wake of sunday's deadly violence. cnn's paolo sandoval has that. >> reporter: in the south street neighborhood, over the series of shoot, the most notable left three people dead and 11 people injured, investigators say it started late saturday night as just a scuffle that quickly turned into a shootout. philadelphia police nearby saying that they managed to engage with one of the suspects and even wound him causing him to drop his firearm and then flee. so investigators are now hoping to track him down. when everything was said and done, three people were killed, two men and a woman and 11 people injured, wounded. ages range from 17 years old to 69. the broader issue of gun

violence we heard from the fleece commissioner, she has seen an increase in the number of shootings. we have seen that in philadelphia and throughout the country. the police commissioner calling that not just horrendous, but unacceptable. >> these incidents have an exponential effect on our community. it not only impacts the individual that's been directly victimized, but it vim tim eyeses their loved ones, their families and their neighbors. neighborhoods all over the world. it's unacceptable. it's beyond unacceptable. and we're still using every resource available to get to the bottom of what occurred, not just out there last night, but behind this gun violence in this city period. >> reporter: police commissioner danielle saying they will continue to maintain a police presence throughout the community, but they are certainly still calling on hopefully more resources to help them, expecting that this increase is likely to continue. but ultimately when you hear from officials here on the ground, they are hoping for a legislative solution when it comes to the issue of gun

violence. paolo sandoval, cnn. chattanooga, tennessee, is coping after its second shooting in weekends. a fourth person was killed and three others were killed while attempting to leave the scene. multiple shooters using several types of firearms were involved. they haven't detained any suspects, but the mayor says they will be relentless in their pursuit. >> and while we're still gathering the facts in this case, we know that many of the recent acts of violence in our community have revolved around a very small group of people, often the same people over and over again. here's my message to those individuals. we will relentlessly pursue you with all the resources we have at our disposal from forensics to federal support, we will not stop until you are in police custody. >> the chief of uvalde, texas,

says police and emergency dispatchers are taking days off work. city officials said no one is being punished. the officers are simply getting days off and much needed rest and many others remain working. this as officials in uvalde continue to avoid questions about the mass shooting at robb elementary. cnn's nick valencia reports. >> reporter: nearly two weeks since the shooting and officials here have yet to offer a full explanation for the inaction of police that day at robb elementary. reached by phone over the week, the local district attorney here hung up on cnn, though she has been tasked with answering the media's questions, she said she's not commenting at this time. it was earlier that texas department of public safety stopped taking the media's questions while the community here is broken and fractured by what happened here. they have yet to get the answers they are looking for. i did speak by phone to a former city council man here munoz who said while there were mistakes made by the local police, he does believe the texas department of public safety has some blame to share in this.

this is part of what he said to me in his phone call. ask yourself, dps responded fairly quickly, too. you have a local police force with four or five people. don't you think that there's a hierarchy of command that happens when more experienced people show up? arredondo made mistakes that day, but he is not the only one. on monday d.h.s. second mayorkas will visit uvalde. it is on wednesday where victims from uvalde as well as the shooting in buffalo will visit washington, d.c. where they are expected to testify in front of a house committee to underline the human cost of the epidemic of gun violence the country is going through. nick valencia, cnn, uvalde, texas. well, according to the gun violence archive, there have been at least 246 mass shootings in just the last six months of the year. that's almost just as much as all of 2014 which had 272. the u.s. is currently averaging more than one mass shooting a day. those aren't just shootings, but mass shootings, incidents where at least four people have been

shot, not including the shooter. live pictures hereof capitol hill. the u.s. house of representatives will hold a hearing on gun violence wednesday. it could include members of recent mass shootings. they are cautiously expressing optimism about finding common ground on gun reform. >> i've never been part of negotiations as serious as these. there are more republicans at the table talking about changing our gun laws and investing in mental health than at any time since sandy hook. now, i've also been part of many failed negotiations in the past so i'm sober minded about our chances. we are talking about a meaningful change in our gun laws, major investment in mental health, perhaps money for school security that would make a difference. on the table is red flag laws, changes to our background check system to improve the existing system, a handful of other items that will make a difference.

can we get there by the end of next week, as senator schumer has requested? i don't know. but as late as last night, we were engaged in conversations about trying to put a package together because i think republicans realize how scared parents and kids are across this country. i think they realize that this time cannot be nothing. that it's frankly a test of democracy. it's a test of the federal government as to whether we can deliver at a moment of just fierce anxiety amongst the american public. we're closer than we've ever been. let's see if we land it. >> i think republicans have consistently been supporters of second amendment rights. republican voters expect republicans to defend the second amendment. i think there is a place to land that's consistent with the second amendment as i've been advocating for expanding background checks, by the way. i think encouraging states to have some kind of red flag laws could make sense as long as there is adequate due process.

i think there are school safety provisions, there are mental health issues we could address. there are things we could do that are constructive that are consistent with republican values. >> senator chris murphy you just heard from there would not directly say whether raising the legal age to buy an assault-style gun is on the table. senate majority leader chuck schumer tells cnn he wants to see a deal this week on new gun policies. u.s. isn't the only nation dealing with mass shooting crises. just ahead, gunman attacked a catholic church in nigeria killing dozens just ahead. russians renew their offensive in the east. vladimir putin issues an ominous threat about arming ukraine. the hurt, the doubt, the pain. no matter what,, we go on. biofreeze. i have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. now, there's skyrizi. ♪ things are getting clearer ♪

recapping our breaking news this hour, british prime minister boris johnson will face a vote of confidence in the uk parliament later today. it's actually in the committee room away from the main chambers and it comes amid a backlash for parties held at downing street during the covid lockdowns, also concern about how he's handling the cost of living crisis. downing street said mr. johnson welcomes the opportunity to make his case. here's british mp and chairman

of the 1992 graham brady speaking about the vote earlier. >> the threshold of 15% of the parliamentary party seeking a vote of confidence in the prime minister has been passed. therefore, a vote of confidence will take place within the rules of the 1922 committee, that vote will take place this evening in the house of commons between 6:00 and 8:00, and we will announce the result shortly thereafter. >> meanwhile, ukraine says president volodymyr zelenskyy visited the war-torn east of the country as the battle for the donbas grinds on. on sunday mr. zelenskyy visited where fierce fighting has raged for weeks. >> translator: i am proud of everyone i met, shook hands with, communicated with, and supported. something was brought for the military, but will not detail it, and i brought something from

them to you. it is important. we brought confidence and strength. >> that visit comes as ukraine says russian forces are renewing their offensive in the east. on sunday military officials reported russian troops had suffered losses in the donetsk region amid a push toward the key city of slovansk. also hearing more about civilians fighting, a long line of cars leaving the donetsk region this morning. and this was the scene in the neighboring luhansk region sunday. local officials shelling the humanitarian aid center not far from sievierodonetsk. meanwhile russian president vladimir putin is blaming the west for a looming global food and energy crisis. but experts have said it's russia's war on ukraine that's actually fueling the crisis. in the same interview the russian president also lashed out at the u.s. and its allies over plans to supply ukraine

with long range missiles threatening to strike new targets if western leaders follow through on those promises. for more i'm joined by cnn's claire sebastian. these missile system will be very useful to the urnz. the americans saying they're going to be supplying them and the uk saying they're going to do the same. >> clearly this is something that is rattling president putin as the battle rages in the donbas as clearly russia is struggling in some areas to hold onto the gains they made. take a listen, max, to what he said about this in the interview. >> translator: in general, all this fuss around additional weapon deliveries, in my opinion, has only one goal, to drag out the arm conflict for as long as possible. if they are supplied, we will draw appropriate conclusions from this and use our own weapons of which we have enough in order to strike at those facilities we are not targeting yet. >> it's interesting.

in one breath sort of dismissing it, saying all this fuss around these weapons. and in the same breath basically saying we're going to strike targets we haven't struck yet. these comments were made on friday. that interview was aired on state tv on sunday. if you look at what's happened over the weekend, the strikes on kyiv, a city that had not been hit by russia in a number of weeks, you know, clearly something according to the latest uk defense ministry assessment, attempts to thwart that flow of western weapons. they hit, russia, facility that was housing tanks that have been supplied by eastern europe. ukraine has also said one military target was hit. you see that perhaps this isn't just a threat. this is also perhaps also acting on this threat already in their actions on the ground. but again, perhaps also the purpose for the unpredictable in that comment. >> a very risky business targeting kyiv f. there were civilian casualties in any of these attacks, the russians would come under a huge amount

of pressure. and they wouldn't be able to use this line that they are attacking strategic targets. >> yeah, you know, you have to look at the track record during this war. we continue to see, of course, in the east civilian infrastructure is being targeted, that report from our team on the ground today that that long line of civilian cars fleeing west out of ukrainian controlled areas in the donbas speaks about the humanitarian catastrophe that is still unfolding in ukraine. and i think you have to look as well at his comments on the food crisis, the rhetoric that continues to hamper progress on the issue. it continues to be something that neither side appears to be able to resolve. and again, we got a report over the weekend that a grain storage silo was hit in the city of mykolaiv, located by cnn. multiple humanitarian issues unfolding on the ground. >> claire, thank you. joining me now from geneva, associate director of the international security policy

defense center of the rand corporation. thank you so much for joining us. >> i'm actually the secretary for europe and central asia at the international crisis group. that job title is a few years out of date. sorry. >> well, thank you for the update. it's good to be accurate on titles when we bring you on. we know you're an expert. that's the crucial thing for our viewers. this, these long range missile systems being sent to ukraine will be seen as provocative by the russians, won't it? do you think that's a sensible route for western powers to go down? >> well, so, the russians have said as i think your reporter just noted, that it's not that big a deal. it's not that huge a difference. i think what's interesting about the weapons supplies we're seeing now would have been unthinkable at the start of the war and for good reason because at that point it would have been a tremendous escalation. but i think kind of the slow drip-drip of increasing weapon supplies has made it much more

difficult for moscow to treat any one system as all that escalatory. it's a clever strategy, intentional or otherwise. >> what do you make of the targets towards kyiv which everyone felt was safe now? >> well, i think russia is going to continue to attack targets within ukraine for as long as this war continues. and that's going to mean what they see as military infrastructure, infrastructure that might be relevant to supply lines, and potentially also just some harassing attacks. the russians will always claim that what they're striking are valid targets, but, of course, what we have seen is also strikes that seem to hit food supplies and grain exports. so, you might argue that's not intentional or you might argue it's very intentional. it's difficult to know from here. but i think we will expect to see more of that, and i think the ukrainians have known that.

>> is there any common ground for agreeing to a cease-fire? >> at is this stage, no. at this stage both parties think that they will eventually have the military advantage, even if they do not now, and they will force the other side to capitulate and under conditions like that it's difficult to imagine what sorts of incentives could bring the other side to the table other than a capitulation by their adversary. >> perhaps the russians didn't take the east as quickly as they hoped. they're very focused on that region obviously. if they are successful and we look at the recent targeting of kyiv, is there still, you know, in your mind, a potential for them moving beyond the east and actually heading back towards kyiv? >> so, i think the russian long-term goal continues to be what they started the war with, which is russian control one way or another over ukraine. that doesn't mean russia plans to an exunex ukraine.

the initial approach to getting that was multi-access approach, military approach failed. so what they're looking to do is to gain as much territory now and to hold onto the territory they have. if they're doing tremendously well, they might be indeed spurred to go further, but they have had tremendous difficulties with supplies and with personnel. so they might also want to take a breather and rebuild to the extent they are able. but, you know, it's far from over in the east, and even in the south which is where russia is consolidating control. so there is still a long way to go before that is the most plausible scenario. >> okay. the international crisis group, thank you for joining us. still to come, the house committee investigating the january 6 capitol insurrection is about to make its case public with primetime hearings. we'll have the details just ahead. and with the u.s. midterms

coming up, some americans aren't happy with president biden's handling of economic issues. we'll find out where his latest poll numbers are. plus, millions in the u.s. are facing severe weather this coming week. cnn meteorologist pedram javaheri has more. >> max, we have severe weather across the united states. risky strong wirnd, large hail s well. break this down in further detail coming up in a few minutes.

british prime minister boris johnson is facing a vote of confidence in the parliament later today. it comes from a backlash of parties held at downing street and the handling of inflation here in the uk. mr. johnson welcomes the opportunity to make his case. we're days away from the start of hearings from the public house committee investigating the january 6 riot on the u.s. capitol -- at the u.s. capitol. the first hearing is set for thursday in primetime. the panel is expected to unveil new evidence about the insurrection and what led up to it. cnn's zachary cohen has more from washington. >> reporter: the january 6 committee is gearing up for the first of several high stakes public hearings and the first one is slated to happen this week. now, the committee has conducted over 1,000 interviews and collected a massive amount of documents, but almost all of their work has happened behind closed doors. that means this will be the first time the panel has a chance to present its case directly to the american people. that's going to happen in

primetime. the committee is promising to put on a compelling show that features unseen material, witness testimony and summary of the findings they say points to a coordinated effort to overturn the 2020 election and prevent the transfer of power, former president donald trump's role in that effort will undoubtedly be a common thread throughout all of the hearings, including a focus on what he was doing and not doing on january 6 as the violence was unfolding. at the same time, sources are telling cnn that trump has already communicate today several of his republican allies on capitol hill that he expects them to defend him while the committee's hearings are playing out. trump's insistence has already mobilized some of his gop loyalists on and off the hill as plans are being developed behind the scenes to push back on the committee. this despite the plea by some republicans they should draw attention away from sqjanuary 6 and continue to beat the drum on theish other use of their

voters. the committee continues to take shape. it is clear it is tailored to an audience of one, donald trump. zachary cohen, cnn, washington. the summit of the americas opens in los angeles today and three lat en american countries won't be there. the white house has made the final decision not to include cuba, venezuela and nicaragua in the event. president administration says concerns over human rights and lack of democracy in those countries weighed too heavily against them. the risks and embarrassing boycott of the event, mexican president andrey manuel lopez, obrador has threatened to skip 9 gathering. all the countries in the western hemisphere are invited. that is not the only worrying item on mr. biden's agenda. the vast majority of americans are feeling the pinch of economic issues such as inflation and gas prices. but even as the white house officials say they are working to get inflation under control, they are also pointing the finger at russian president vladimir putin and big oil companies. >> i don't think anyone predicted putin's war in ukraine

or various other things that have happened that have been unexpected. i still think, you know, we will get inflation under control. we just have to stick with it and see it through. you know, i think it's worth noting that gas prices are up $1.40 a gallon since putin moved troops into ukraine. so the president and our team is doing everything we possibly can to get inflation under control. >> the price of gasoline is not set by a dial in the oval office. when an oil company is deciding hour by hour how much to charge you for a gallon of gas, they're not calling the administration to ask what they should do. they're doing it based on their goal of maximizing profits. it's been very striking right now to see these oil companies who have become almost ridiculously profitable, and you hear these oil executives on the record talking about how they're not going to increase production. why would they? they're doing great right now.

it's why the president has called for a use it or lose it policy where if you're sitting on these thousands of permits i like these oil executives have been and you're not doing anything with them, then you're going to be held accountable for that. >> that message isn't resonating with the american public. according to an abc news ipsos poll, americans are unhappy with the way the president is dealing with soaring inflation and gas prices. parts of the u.s. will be facing severe weather the next few days. cnn's pedram javaheri has details on that. >> good morning, max. lots of is severe weather the last several days and locked in the same general area across the central u.s. where about 5 million americans are under risk for a level 2, slight risk for severe weather. rapid city, as far east as memphis. the vast majority of the population is, some of the storms could generate strong winds, very large hail and that is precisely how things have played out here the last several days across portions of the plains. upwards of almost 200 severe

weather reports, notice ten of them were related to tornadoes. the vast majority hail and wind. some of these wind gusts and some of the hail reports very impressive. as large as 3 centimeters, 3 inches, i should say, in diameter across walsh and wind gusts up into the tropical storm force category there, about 50 plus miles per hour, 39 or greater is officially what dictates tropical storm force winds. kind of get this theme here where several storms, every few days here, pass through portions of the central united states, prompt at least a slight risk of severe weather. that's precisely what tuesday's forecast looks like. again, across portions of the plains there, strong winds and some large hail going in towards tuesday afternoon. notice lots of rainfall across this region could see as much as 2 to 3 inches, flooding remains in place. temperature trend begins to warm up across a large area of the united states. exception, the northern regions and also portions of the midwest there, remaining somewhat cool for this time of year, but down across the south, atlanta climbing from the 80s into the

90s, some schooler weather expected saturday into sunday with incoming storms. the general theme here is going to be a warming trend across portions of the southern u.s. high temperatures, 88 in okc, 101 in el paso. in san francisco high of only 67 degrees. >> thank you, pedram. just ahead, there's been an horrific attack on a catholic church in nigeria. we'll have a live report from lagos next. your healthcare pror if an oral treatment is rigight for you. oral treatments can n be taken at home and must be taken within 5 dayays from when symptoms first appear. if you have symptoms of covid-19, even if they're mimild don't wait, get tested quickly. if you test positive and are at high risk for severe disease, act fast ask if an oral treatment is right for you. covid-19 moves fast and now you can too.

fighters in bangladesh are containing a fire that claimed the lives of 49 people. nine firefighters among the dead and two more remain missing since the fire began on saturday night. several of the containers are filled with chemicals making it harder for fire crews to contain the blaze. it is not clear what caused the fire, but officials suspect it may have originated from a container of hydrogen peroxide

that spread quickly for others. at least 28 people were killed after a gunman stormed a catholic church in southwest nigeria and opened fire. we have to warn you the following video contains -- they are yet to confirm the total number of casualties and identify those behind the attack. more on this story, we are joined by cnn's stephanie from lagos. horrific details coming out. >> reporter: yes, max, as you say, the social media videos very graphic. you can see bodies strewn in the church, a bloody bible, just really horrific scenes. and what we know is that around 2:00 p.m. sunday afternoon as mass was about to come to an end, a group of armed men on motorcycles stormed this church, saint francis catholic church in southwest nigeria, opened fire. some reports say that they first

threw explosives into the building to cause chaos and confusion, and then opened fire as people, stunned, trying to figure out what exactly was happening. the death toll, as you say, will rise. we have it between 28 and 50 right now, and north carolinas are reelin nigerians are reeling. it is a tense political situation as the major parties conclude their primaries, choose their candidates for next year's election. but people are worried that these election campaigns will lead to more violence. now, the president has condemned the killings, but those words ring hollow to many nigerians who have to grapple with increasing terrifying levels of violence. everyday things you and i take for granted, max, like going to work, going to church, sending

their children to school. these nigerians are saying they do not feel safe any more in their country. >> okay, stephanie pasari in lagos, thank you for bringing us the desperate situation. much more ahead on "cnn newsroom." don't go anywhere. the huhurt, the dodoubt, the e pain. no matter what, we go onon. biofreezeze. it's time for our memorial day sale on the sleep number 360 smart bed.

recapping our breaking news this hour, british prime minister boris johnson will face a vote of confidence in the uk parliament later today amidst conservative mps, it comes amid a backlash of parties held at downing street during the covid lockdowns. this is all taking place because at least 54 conservative mps submitted their letter to the chair. the committee saying they lost confidence in their leader. that figure represents 15% conservative m.the threshold at which the vote is triggered. the conservative mps will cast their vote between 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. whether he will continue his role or not. downing street welcomes the opportunity to make his case. triumphant later an historic jubilee in london. queen elizabeth made a surprise appearance at buckingham palace on sunday capping the final day of events marking her 70-year
