12:00 am
this is cnn breaking news. >> hello, and welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber, this is "cnn newsroom." rescue efforts are under way after a rocket strike in kyiv. a rocket attack hit a residential area. at least two people have been hospitalized. what more can you tell us,
12:01 am
salma? >> reporter: it's an absolutely horrifying scene here. a hmultiple-story, residential building. firefighters trying to pull people out from the building. there is one woman still trapped inside and rescue workers are doing their best to bring her outside. there are four injuries so far, including a young child, about 12 years old we understand. i just want to show you this scene. this is absolutely going to shake this community. our cameraman is going to give you a look at what people are seeing here. there were multiple missile strikes, as you can see. this was a civilian area. and that's what the local mayor told me. he felt like residents were being targeted by russia. for weeks now, this city has felt relatively safe, relatively calm, relatively stable. a few weeks ago.
12:02 am
but they are showing their capability to reach the city. people would have been home, in bed probably. this is a horrifying kraents tva event that happened here. for the woman that is still trapped inside, we will have to ooblg o wait and see what her injuries are, whether she'll have to be hospitalized. >> we'll check in about an hour to get an update. thanks so much from kyiv. that atangtack came on the els f a barrage of missiles.
12:03 am
but ukraine isn't caving in. >> translator: no missiles can break the will of ukraine. i will take part in the g-7 summit on monday. the nato summit will take place next week. 45 missiles in half a day, and just on the eve of such meetings, all clear, another confer maegs of our position. this confirms that sanctions pangages fence russia are not enough. >> belarus has been a satellite base for some of russia's operations in ukraine. we are joined from london. they're looking at the wider battle across the country. >> reporter: russia is really stepping up its military bombardment across the board.
12:04 am
45 mefl missile strikes in 24 hours. in the luhansk region, now fully into russian hands after months of grueling and bloody battle there. according to ukrainian officials, they are withdrawing to better positions. russia's artillery power are ten times the strength of ukraine. we are seeing that intensification. thousands of forces have been forced to flee. around 7,000 are estimated to be sheltering in the city. the focus now shifting to the
12:05 am
city of leasy chancek. officials attempting to close off a major highway exit. that is the key focus now. but as you mentioned, russia's not only stepping up its advances in the eastern region, attempting to secure the donbas to create that land corridor from roussian territory to crimea, we heard president putin say that he plans to send missile systems to belarus. we heard earlier this week from the russian defense minister that russia and belarus need to step up and strengthen their joint defense capabilities, in particular focussing on air defense systems.
12:06 am
that will be a key defense for president zelenskyy. we'll focus on his discussions with g-7 leaders over the coming days. he has already expressed concern over the fact that the focus appears to be on economic sanctions. but he has said repeatedly that that is no longer enough. ukraine needs more military support from its western allies. kim? >> thanks so much from london. the g-7 summit will get under way in germany in the next hour. nearly all of the issues can be traced back to the war in kr ukraine, to soaring energy prices to the food crises. that's far from the optimism we saw a year ago. >> reporter: it was elbow bumps and optimism at the g-7 summit last year. the first face-to-face g-7
12:07 am
leaders meet since the covid pandemic. >> we're building back better and greener. >> reporter: what a difference the 12 months have made. a perfect storm gathering beyond the alpine peaks. not just russia's war in ukraine but spiking petrol prices at pumps across the world. a looming food crisis. rising inflation, a global recession likely. >> i would like to update the house on the northern ireland protocol. >> reporter: and while the uk is threatening to go back on its brexit agreement with the eu on northern ireland. at stake, the g-7-led global
12:08 am
order. the challenge, thousand stop the changes. it won't be easy. host, germany, is not alone firing up coal power stations, reversing hard-won climate change agreements at last year's cop-26 summit in glasgow because russia went to war. >> all this is part of russia's strategy to undermine our unity. >> reporter: on unity, the g-7 has delivered on its pledge to strengthen partnerships. it will need a lot more of the same. but another unity is also developing. in the past year, putin and xi have strengthened ties. xi increasingly bellicose about china's claim to taiwan. both trying to draw global powers to their side. disruptions are intentionally foisted by russia through its
12:09 am
pernicious war in ukraine. >> russia's blockading ukrainian exports. it's a determined attempt. >> reporter: revolutions rose in the outfall of the last global economic crisis. despite global bankers pulling together. today's g-7 leaders are more alone than ever. the g-20 that grew out of previous financial crises sis divide. setting long-term unity against russia's destabilizations, while balancing economic pressures at home won't make a bad year good but mike maght make the coming s
12:10 am
more manageable. n to many americans it's almost inconceivable that a hard-fought right to survive court challenges for 50 years only to be taken away in a 5-4 decisi decision. in an instant, life was turned upside down. organizers and supporters are spitting mad, as elizabeth warren put it, and they're mnot being subtle about it, and that as true even in the states where abortion is protected. despite the outpouring of angry protest, many states are seizing on the ruling. since it came down friday morning, no fewer than ten states have effectively banned abortions. clinics there that provided the procedure are shut down. wyoming, mississippi, t,
12:11 am
tennessee and idaho are expected to quickly follow suit. clinics this those states are vowing to stay own until the last possible moment. while cnn is covering some of these protest, some of the most v vigorous have been right outside the supreme court. >> reporter: here outside the supreme court on saturday, outrage and fear about the future after the court overturned roe v wade. a large crowd made up almost entirely by abortion rights supporter, many of whom who came from far and near. >> right now, i feel like my voice matters that much more, because, you know, considering my journey with lgbtq plus community. somebody a long time ago was doing this right here for the lgbtq plus community when they
12:12 am
tried to tell them who they could and could not love. so i felt like now even though people are connecting pro choice with pro abortion, which is a false narrative. it's not true. i'm not pro abortion or anti-abortion. i'm pro choice. my choice matters, everybody's choices matter. if you don't fight for yourself, that's okay, we got you. we'll fight for your rights, too. >> reporter: there were verbal confrontations. organizers of the rally say this will not be the last demonstration, and they also anticipate a state-by-state fight for abortion rights. joe johns, cnn, at the supreme court. >> opponents of the abortion ruling were alarmed by one part of justice thomas' opinion. he singled out several rulings such as contraception worthy of
12:13 am
review. it heightened their fears that other rights could be at risk. >> a whole range are in question. a whole range of rights. and the idea that we're letting states make those decisions or localities make the decisions would be a fundamental shift. it goes to other basic rights. >> cnn legal analyst areva martin joins us from los angeles. this ruling has just reenforced the very real notion that rights aren't permanent. they can disappear. how worried are you that the supreme court could erase other rights as well? >> pretty worried, kim. the statements contained in the concurring opinion by justice thomas are pretty clear. he basically said that given the court's ruling in overturning roe v wade, we should reconsider rights that have been protected under the xivth amendment as to
12:14 am
same-sex marriage and contraceptives and partners being able to engage in certain sexual acts. even though justice alito says those things are not at jeopardy, clarence thomas thinks otherwise. and the dissenting justices said we should not think this is the end but rather the beginning. and for some, kim, they saw what clarence thomas was doing and the invitation to state legislators to enact restrictive laws that would be challenged in the courts and then for those challenges to make their way to the supreme court so the supreme court could review them and perhaps overturn them in the same way that the court has done with respect to roe v wade. so i think there's a lot at
12:15 am
stake with respect to this ruling. >> you mentioned same-sex marriage, is that what you most concerned about? >> i think all of those mentioned by clarence thomas. what's interesting, there's very significant cases, loving v virginia that provided for the legalization of interracial marriages. now surprisingly, that right or that case is not enumerated in the concurring opinion by justice thomas, which is leaving a lot of experts asking, if you are going to take on same-sex marriages, why is interracial marriages not included in the list? >> not everyone agrees that this could have such wide-ranging, you know, ramifications. the argument is that abortion is sort of in its own box and the
12:16 am
other issues are much more settled even in red states. there hasn't been the momentum to overturn them as there has been for abortion. do you buy that? >> i think that's a naïve interpretation of what's happening. we know abortion rights have been the target of conservatives for decades. this has been a well-strategized effort with conservative judges who would be willing to consider and in fact overturn roe v wade. we know donald trump in his run up to the election in 2016 said three was going to appoint justices to the supreme court who would overturn roe v wade. we shouldn't ignore what the three liberal judges said in their dissenting opinions, when they said to us very specifically that we should be
12:17 am
concerned because of the language in both the majority opinion as well as the concurring opinions. so i think it would be naïve of us not to believe that in some ways justice thomas is speaking to conservative legislators and in some ways inviting them to challenge these rights that have been in the country for decades. >> looking at abortion specifically, do you think if republicans take the house and senate in the fall there will be an attempt to institute a nationwide abortion ban? >> i think everything is on the table, kim. i think what this ruling tells us is that there are certain conse conservative lawmakers as well as conservative jumps who are willing to take this country to where we were almost 50 years ago where women had to engage in back alley abortions and had to do things very dangerous to their health to terminate
12:18 am
pregnancies. i don't think we should assume that women's rights to control their health, their reproductive health are not under attack and would be further jeopardized if we did have a republican senate and republican house. >> some are pushing the idea of term limits for supreme court justices. is that a good idea? and is it at all realistic? >> i think absolutely we should be looking at ways, that makes sense to reform the supreme court. that has been at the fore of a lot of democrats who are in of office, this notion that six justices can make a decision that overturns 50 years of press te dense when over half of the
12:19 am
cou country. whether it's term limits or expanding the court, i think this is the moment where we should be having those very serious conversations. >> biden said he's against expanding the court. thank you for your insights. we appreciate it. >> thank, kim. im nternational gay pride month is winding down. it was especially significant in norway, following an attack on a popular gay bar the night before. we'll have that story and next, stay with us. that's why aveeno® daily moisture lotion and body wash are formulated to be gentle on dry skinin. wiwith nourishing prebiotic oat and rich, soothing emollients. together this duo locks in moisture all day. for softer, healthier looking skin.

12:24 am
peace and demanded an end to discrimination against the lgbtqless community. mean crowds waved pride flags and chanted defiant slogans in support of the queer community. we have more on the attack that stuped the nation. >> reporter: police in norway are calling a deadly shooting outside a bar in oslo a terror attack. 22 others were injured. three critically. >> there were many who cried, who screamed. injured people screamed. people were upset, and people were like opt fln the floor ins because they were very scared. >> reporter: police arrested the
12:25 am
susp suspect within minutes and charged him with murder, attempted murder and terroristic attack. >> translator: he's originally from iran. some things were big things compared to what we face today. >> reporter: the acting chief of norway's security service say they've been aware of the man since 2015. the threat level has raised from moderate to an extraordinary threat situation. and police who normally are not armed in norway have taken up weapons temporarily in the aftermath of the attack which also forced organizers to cancel the city's gay pride parade. >> translator: we are shaken and have been advised by police to cap sell today's events. we take the police's advice and recommendations seriously and are encouraging people not to gather in central oslo. >> reporter: meanwhile, norway's
12:26 am
prime minister is expressing his solidarity with the queer community and speaking directly to muslims in the wake of the attack. >> many muslims in our country are also scared and in despair. it is our common responsibility to make it clear that no one other than the person orp people be behind the attack are responsible. we are a diverse and strong community and we will never be threatened or give up or values. >> reporter: michael holmes, cnn, atlanta. >> i'm kim brunhuber, thanks so much for watching. if you're joining us from here in the unite d states and canad, your news continues.

welcome back. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." rescuers working to reach survivors after a meissile strie in kyiv. the city's mayor says two people are hospitalized and emergency cruise are at the scene. ukraine is also confirming that russia is in firm control of sievierodonetsk. as ukraine fights for its
12:31 am
survival, g-7 members are set to kick off their summit in germany. ukraine will be high on their agenda along with the economic effects of the war. for more, let's go live near the site of this year's summit. the leaders will be trying to find the balance of punishing putin without punishing themselves too much economically. >> reporter: that's exactly right. there are a few other items on the agenda, china, climate change, but it really is the russian invasion of ukraine that is top of mind. they want to find new ways to poun punish russia for the invasion, and momentum has kind of stalled in the war against ukraine. when you talk to officials, they really describe the objectives as two fold.
12:32 am
one is to identify these new areas where they can punish russia, and we do understand today the leaders will announce a new ban on russian gold imports. and gold is russia's second-largest export. and leaders want to sort of use that to further cut it off from global markets. the second thing that they do want to focus on is to mitigate the effects of the war felt around world. primarily in energy markets. of course gas, the price of gas is spiking in part because of these bans on russian energy. leaders want to kind of get a handle on that and try to find ways to bring the price down. the other area that they're looking at is food, looking at how to get grain out of ukraine so that food insecurity doesn't become a larger problem around the world. now it's been just three months since the president was last in europe. he was in brussels for the nato and g-7 summit then. the mood now is quite different.
12:33 am
it is much more sober, and it's really become a grinding war of attrition in ukraine. leaders are dealing with the effects of that. they're also dealing with fatigue at home for the war. they're dealing with the political fallout from the higher prices that have been caused by the war. and so i think one of the conversations that they are going to have at the meeting and on the sidelines of the meeting is what is the next phase for the war in ukraine? where does this go from here? they will hear from president sl zelenskyy tomorrow, but do they need to start negotiations with ro russia. do they need to nudge zelenskyy to concessions. but as they see fortunes fall and prices rising, to identify when and how this war might change or come to an end. when the leaders start meeting in a couple hours from here now
12:34 am
at a castle in the bavarian alps, it will be front and mind. >> los >> thank you so much. u.s. lawmakers are turning up the pressure on moscow to release american basketball star bri brittany greener. shegriner. she was later accused of drug smuggling that could land her in jail for up to ten years. but the u.s. says she's wrongfully detained. protests have erupted across the united states in the wake of the supreme court's decision to end constitutional protection for abortion. dozens of demonstrations took place across the country. critical midterm leelection mons
12:35 am
away and people are urged to make their voice heard at the ballot box. t in all, 26 states have indicated they would outlaw or set extreme limits for abortion. mississippi is one of those with trigger loss. . >> reporter: this is the last abortion clinic in the state of mississippi. and because of that certification process, they have about ten more days to perform abortions for women who want t all throughout the day, they have allowed women to come in well before opening hours. some women called into the clinic today and showed town have the procedure done. i spoke with the abortion
12:36 am
provider here who says that he believes that this is his life's work, that this is his calling. he's been performing abortions for 30 years, and he says this is all about health care. listen to why he believes that the appoint nti-abortion people wrong. >> they say we are killing babies. we're not killing babies. somebody's made a difficult decision that they did not want to carry this pregnancy. so this nonsense about murdering is not right. so that's the first thing. and then, you know, part of that, i can get on with them being able to protest. >> reporter: religious leaders and state leaders say this is a d day of situ celebration.
12:37 am
they are so proud it was their state that brought their on. they believe this is the day they can protect women and children and are happy to have this overturning of roe v wade and here in mississippi, what they're calling ground zero for those rights. cnn, jackson, mississippi. and just ahead, days after the supreme court struck down roe v wade, well, we're going to take a look at more of that and how it affects minorities. and a major accomplishment after the recent spate of deadly mass shootings. we'll have a report from washington coming up. stay with us.
12:38 am
12:39 am
12:40 am
all right, back now to the u.s. supreme court's reversal of roe v wade. mississippi's ban on abortions
12:41 am
after 15 weeks led to the case, and the state is effectively ground zero in the heated debate on abortion in the u.s. amara walker went there to find out how abortion laws are applied and how they affect minorities. >> reporter: there's no mistaking this mother's dedication to her three young boys. hand-written notes ask be found in every room of the house giegd and encouraging them. >> a lot of the things that i tell them are the things that get me through parenting every day. >> reporter: parenting has been a journey filled with difficult decisions. >> i get emotional talking about it. because we've been through so much. even now we still go through things. >> reporter: she knows what it's like to be poor and pregnant. a single mom of one, escaping an abuse of relationship, living on government assistance with limited access to health care.
12:42 am
she decided to singeek an abort, but she says she ran out of time. >> ki'm still dealing with the residue, meanntally, physically economically of not being able to secure an abortion. >> reporter: when she first sought one out, she was initially sent to an anti-abortion crisis pregnancy center, a waste of time she says. and when she eventually found the right clinic, it was too late, so her second son mega was now born, who is now 7. she's trying her best to raise three boyce. >> you're here now, welcome to the family. this is how we're rolling. >> that's mega. >> reporter: with friday's supreme court announcement, a number of states are expected to further restrict access to abortion, affecting millions across the country, a shift they
12:43 am
say will disproportionately affect black and brown women. the pink house is the last place offering legal abortion in mississippi. it's named in the case t's become ground zero for the abortion rights battle. the opinion announced friday centered around the 15-week ban on nearly all abortions. a leaked draft ruling in early may triggered nationwide protests. >> stop the hatred, stop the violence. >> it will be a decision that is rooted deeply thisin this count racism. >> reporter: she says it is especially damaging to black and women of color. a recent report from the cdc found that black women are three times more likely than white
12:44 am
women to die from a pregnancy-related cause. >> it will be felt acutely in the black community, in other communities of color. and for people who have the least access to health care. >> reporter: in mississippi, black people make up 38% of the population but made up nearly three quarters of legal abortions in the state in 2019, according to the keyser family foundation. >> it's going to be returned to the states, and the state legislatures will decide. >> reporter: he insists this has nothing to do with race and everything to do with states' rights. this would disproportionately impact black and brown women. >> and it would disproportionately save black and brown children. >> my biggest concern is that women are going to secure abortions. they won't be safe. >> reporter: verge believes abortion access is about saving lives. >> minority women are going to
12:45 am
die. minority women are going to go to jail, because we're going to find ways to meet our needs. >> reporter: she vows to keep fighting for safe, legal abortion access for all. while simultaneously embracing her reproductive journey. >> it's part of my healing process, too, is to be able to say, man, you really it not want to have that pregnancy, but you did it, and now look. >> reporter: amara walker, cnn, jackson, mississippi. >> the supreme court decision won't just affect patients. it has serious implications for health care providers, particularly those who tdeal wih women's reproductive health. earlier i spoke with someone about this. >> we are trained to do whatever we can to help the patient, to avoid problems, to do what the patient wants whenever we can, to respect the patient's wishes to do whatever he or she wants
12:46 am
to do. this is part of the hippocratic oath to respect privacy, to put the concerns of our patients before our own. yet now we're being told because of the unfortunate supreme court decision that we cannot do that, that now we have to not do what the patient's best interest and not mention abortion if the patient says, look, very four kids, i can't afford another child. or i've been a victim of rape or incest, we are not able to give that option. and by law, ethically, we are required to do in other situations in the law, normally to. so this is, there is a notion of moral distress, and doctors are already stressed out due to covid, and now this just adds more stress to them. many doctors are saying they want to leave the field. there are doctors who certainly
12:47 am
who tonigdon't want to go work quote, red states that will have the most restrictive abortion policies now. doctors, even if they aren't performing abortions and are just psychiatrists who may speak to patients about this are very worried and don't want to practice in these areas. stay with us next hour for my full interview with dr. robert clipsman on the ruling. president biden signed the first federal gun safety bill in decades into law on saturday. it got support from both parties in the weak ake of the mass shog in the texas elementary school. >> reporter: president biden signed into law the first major piece of legislation addressing gun safety in nearly 30 year. major, major news, after a bipartisan group in the senate worked on this framework on this bill for weeks in the wake of that horrific shooting in
12:48 am
uvalde, texas. of course, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell ended up supporting this legislation, the top republican in the senate, he actually was the one who gave his blessing to senator john cornyn of texas to again negotiating with democrats for this legislation. it passed the house friday morning. incredibly notable, with just little to no republican support in the end. 15 republicans in the senate supported this legislation, and just 14 republicans in the house supported the legislation. including adam kinzinger and liz cheney, two republicans who serve on the january 6 committee. after it passed the house, it went to president joe biden's desk. what's in this legislation? it has millions of dollars for mental health, school safety, crisis prevention programs and for juvenile records and the
12:49 am
national background system. it makes significant changes for the process of someone going in the age of 18-21 to buy firearm and closes the so-called boyfriend loophole. republicans endorsed this legislation because they say it still respects the second amendment. that is why it was a bipartisan bill. but look, democrats argue that it falls short of some of the measures they were hoping they could include in gun safety legislation, including a ban on assault rifles or expanded background checks, but they still lauded this as a win for a bipartisan group that negotiated this bill, but of course president biden signing this legislation into law. one of the first major bipartisan wins we've seen

blistering heat sgriping many parts of the u.s. right fw now with several records set. derek van dam is tracking severe conditions. it's still pretty bad in some places, but think could be getting better? >> it depends on where you're located. it's not only the deep south but portions of the west coast as well. here's a huge sample of the record high temperatures we broke yesterday, that being saturday, from louisiana, to missouri, tennessee. and look at that, astoria, oregon. it's not only the southern gulf states that are dealing with the heat as we speak. as kim just mentioned, we have heat advisory force many locations. eastern texas, portions of arkansas into mississippi and northern louisiana where the
12:55 am
heat indexes will be high. right along the pacific ocean, seattle to portland, we have an abnormally hot day forecast toole t today and across the san joaquin valley. and triple digit heat outside the los angeles county region. i wanted to show you this map, because it's not only the south. it's also the west. so we are going to keep a close eye on that for places like oregon and washington. temperatures today will break triple digits near dallas. 100 for houston. a normal high of 91 in new orleans. your forecast high is 92. that's not the real problem. the problem is when you factor in the humidity, and we talk about the heat index, that's how it feels on your skin. it will easily top 100 degrees in new orleans. here's the west coast. we're talking about temperature departure from normal. it's forecast to be 100 degrees
12:56 am
in portland, that is 24 degrees fahrenheit above where it should be this time of year. i don't know whether you prior this type of weather. a lot of people flock to the west coast this time of year typically the sun niest and warmest area locked in by cool weather, but not now. 88 degrees in seattle. even midford, oregon, 105. wow, look at that, 107 for fresno. i'm going to end with this. it's interesting to note. we are monitoring the potential for tropical activity across the atlantic ocean, 60% chance of a tropical storm or depression developing this week. >> all right, we'll keep an eye on into for sure, derek van dam, appreciate it. that wraps this hour of cnn"cnn newsroom."
