welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead, new explosions rock ukraine's capital as russia shows the war is not confined to the east of the country. we're live at the site of the attack. this as g7 leaders gather for a summit in germany where ukraine is just one of the many issues that makes this year's meeting so important. [ chanting ] abortion rights protestors
1:01 am
voice their fury after the u.s. supreme court overturned roe v. wade. the fears that some abortion providers are now facing. live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brunhuber. we begin in germany where this year's g7 summit is getting under way dominating the agenda of course is russia's war in ukraine. president biden announced that g7 nations will ban the import of gold from russia, the country's second largest export he c , the latest sanctions. bipa biden is also hoping to announce more aid for ukraine. but as the u.s. and its allies look to keep up the pressure to moscow, they are also facing
1:02 am
pressures of their own at home. prices for gas, food and other goods have surged and experts warn a global recession could be on the way. at g7 leaders kick off their summit, ukraine's two largest cities are coming under fire from heavy weapons. kharkiv came under artillery fire overnight and two people were injured and a medical facility was struck. and in kyiv, the city's mayor says a number of people are trapped under the rubble of a building after a missile attack. at least two people have been hospitalized and ukraine is also confirming that russia is now in full control of sever did he neck, ukrainian troops pulled out earlier, but many civilians have stayed behind. this is on the heels of a barrage of missiles fired on ukraine saturday. president zelenskyy says 45 struck across the country in the span of 12 hours but he says ukraine isn't caving in. here he is.
1:03 am
>> translator: no russian missiles, no strikes can break the morale of ukrainians and each of their missiles is an argument in our negotiations with partners. i'll take part in the g7 summit on monday, the nato summit will take place next week, 45 missiles in half a day and just on the eve of such meeting, all clear, another confirmation of our position. this confirms that sanctions bookages against russia are not enough, that ukraine needs more armed assistance. >> and kevin liptak is live with details on this year's g7 summit, but first let's go to salma abdelaziz who is in kyiv with the latest on the attacks there. what more do we know? >> reporter: we know that at about 6:30 this morning local time, the heart of kyiv central district struck by multiple russian rockets. i want to show you the devastating impact on this nine story building. you can see right up at the top
1:04 am
the top story apartment completely destroyed, rescue workers are still up there trying to pull people out from under the rubble. nearly every window is blown out. it is a hugely devastating scene. i just want to pan you around a little bit more here so you can get a sense of this, dozens of rescue workers that are here, firefighters, they set up a little aid station for them because for hours now the rescue operations have been ongoing so they want to be able to provide them with food and water. earlier we met one woman who found out that her family's home had been struck. when she saw the news on the internet, she rushed to the scene here and discovered that her family, some of the family members were still trapped inside. several civilians have been injured including a young child. this is going to devastate, really shake up kyiv. because for weeks now it has felt relatively safe, relatively calm, relatively stable.
1:05 am
obviously all of that shattered now with this massive strike on this building. we also understand a kindergarten nearby may have been impacted in the strikes. again, they are still working to pull people out. so that number of civilian casualties could rise. the local mayor told me he believes that russia was targeting civilians. >> unbelievable to see all that damage and the ongoing efforts to rescue those who may still be trapped. and let's go now to kevin liptak near the site of the g7 summit. so kevin, president biden and the other leaders, they will be trying to find that balance between trying to punish putin without punishing themselves too much economically, is that right? >> reporter: yeah, this is really a wartime summit, and there are a few other items on the agenda like climate change and china. but when the leaders do gather at that old castle in the bavarian alps, it really is ukraine that is the front of the agenda.
1:06 am
and it comes amid this global economic uncertainty and also as momentum in ukraine does not appear to be in ukraine's favor. and so u.s. and european officials do describe the objectives as two-fold here, one is trying to find areas to further apply pressure on russia, and we do understand that the leaders later today will announce that they are putting a ban on russian gold imports, gold is the second largest export from russia after energy. so u.s. officials do hope that this can make a further department in russia's economy. and secondly, they do want to look for ways to mitigate the effects that this war is having around the world and principally that would be in energy markets. bans on russian oil and gas have caused prices to spike. leaders want to do what they can to mitigate that. the other area is food. and looking at how to get grain stores out of ukraine so that they can avoid this global food insecurity crisis, avoid
1:07 am
familiafamine around the world. it was only three months ago that president biden was last in europe. the mood now is far different. this waur has turned into really kind of a grinding conflict of attr attrition. leaders are suffering being bef the high prices at home. so what the next phase, do they need to press ukraine into more robust negotiations with russia, do they need to press ukraine into making some sort of concessions. the ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy has shown no indication that he is there yet. but certainly these leaders do want to talk about where this war is heading after this summer concludes. >> thanks, we'll keep following along throughout the day. kevin liptak, appreciate it. anger is erupting everywhere across america in response to the abrupt ending of roe v.
1:08 am
wade. to many, it is almost inconceivable that hard-fought right could survive court challenges for nearly 50 years only to be taken away in a 5-4 decision. here is what two protestors had to say. >> you also think that there is no way that we could do this as a country, to set us back that far. other countries are looking at us for human rights and women's rights are paramount. that is how we judge other countries' success. >> i'm pro-choice. my choices matter. everybody's choices matter. and if you don't fight for them yourself, that is okay. we gotcha, we'll fight for your choices too. >> obviously passions are running high. a fire at a christian pregnancy clinic in colorado is being investigated as arson. graffiti at the scene said if abortions aren't safe, neither are you. in eugene, oregon ten were arrested during a demonstration
1:09 am
dubbed night of rage. police used pepper balls to break up the rowdy crowd. protests are likely to continue as more abortion clinics are forced to close. but one democrat thinks that is a good thing. listen to this. >> some states will have abortion legal, some are not. what we need to do in the states and right now is making sure that every woman who becomes pregnant has the support to carry that child to term. we're making sure that we have paid leave, making sure that we have child care, putting pregnant women in touch with places that will support them through that pregnancy and beyond. >> sense that decision came down friday morning, at least ten states have effectively banned all abortions. others expected to follow suit. and even in states like california and new york where abortion remains legal, there is outrage over what is happening elsewhere. we have polo sandoval reporting from manhattan, but we begin
1:10 am
with came in ila bernal in los angeles. >> reporter: a large group of protestors here in downtown los angeles has been walking throughout the downtown area the entire day, this is the second day of protests. and they are now gathering in front of city hall where another group of protestors was waiting. the message here has been very consistent, and it is that the people of california stand with the women in other states that do not have the right to an abortion, they understand that the state of california protects a woman's right to an abortion, but they want those rights extended to other states, other women who may need those abortions. chants have been heard throughout the entire downtown area. at the moment you are hearing "no justice no peace. ." it echos around the area. they have been carrying signs that say my body my choice, and
1:11 am
they want this right extended throughout the country. again second day of protests will continue to be in this downtown area and they say that they will continue to fight for as long as it takes because this is something that is near and dear to their hearts. a lot of passion, a lot of emotion and a lot of frustration, but they say that they will continue to fight for the women in other states. camila bernal, cnn, los angeles. >> reporter: peaceful and passionate demonstrators coming together here in the heart of manhattan hoping to unite their voices and send a powerful message to women in other states especially those with trigger laws making sure that they hear the outrage still remains after the supreme court ruling. new york officials in anticipation of friday's overturning of roe v. wade decision took some significant steps to make sure that women in new york continue to have access to abortions. in fact on friday, mayor eric
1:12 am
adams ensured that new york city has been and will continue to be a safe haven for women trying to seek abortions. polo sandoval, cnn, new york. even before the u.s. supreme court ruling, a broad majority of americans consistently said that they supported legalized abortion and didn't want roe v. wade overturned. arrested to a recent quinnipiac poll, 6 #% of americans agree that abortions should be legal including nearly 90% of democrats and two-thirds of independents. and an average of polls since 2012 show that residents in a majority of states believe that abortion should be legal. abortion and reproductive care providers are worried that they could be held criminally responsible for the procedures even retroactively. some doctors fear the decision will force them to violate their hippocratic oath to do no harm.
1:13 am
joining me now is a professor of psychiatry and director of the masters bio ethics program at columbia university and he is joining me from new york. thanks for being here with us. so this will obviously impact a wide range of medical professionals in many different disciplines, not just those directly performing abortions. what are you hearing from your colleagues? >> my colleagues are very, very upset and disturbed and worried about this because in various states it may mean that they will not be able to mention the word abortion or the possibility of an abortion to pregnant women. and they may not be able to draw blood and do certain kinds of blood tests or even do ultrasounds that may be sort of initial workups for someone getting an abortion. so if a pregnant woman comes and says i don't want to have a child, if the doctor says one option is to have an abortion, that doctor could then be criminally charged and doctors are very worried about this. >> yeah, i mean, talk to me
1:14 am
about the emotional stress that that puts doctors under. >> it is a huk stress. we as doctors are trained to put our patient's concerns address benefits first. we're 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 what he or she wants to do. this is part of the hippocratic oath to respect patients' privacy, to put the concerns of our patients before our own. and yet now we're being told because of the i think unfortunate supreme court decision, that we cannot do that, that now we have to not do what is in the patient's best interests and not mention abortion. if the patients say look, i have four kids, i can't afford another child or i was the victim of rape or invest, i don't want to have this child, we can't say, you know, one option is abortion. so this puts tremendous strain on doctors because we're not
1:15 am
able to do the thing that we're trained to do and by law and ethically that we are required to do and in other situations in the law normally do. so there is the 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 that they want to leave the field, there are doctors who certainly don't want to go work in, quote, red states, states that will have the most restrictive abortion policies now. doctors even if they are not performing abortions and are just psychiatrists who may speak to patients about there are very worried and don't want to practice in these areas. >> so that might then from what you're saying have downstream effects in other health care streams for instance. >> absolutely. so we know that if you look at the top medical schools in the country, they are
1:16 am
disproportionately not in red states but in blue states and yet many people then go to other states even michigan for instance, there are states that are quote purple or sometimes blue, but that will now have restrictive abortion laws and so there is the better doctors in the country, the better trained doctors won't want to work in certain areas. >> you and i have been talking about the effect on medical professionals. but as a psychiatrist, you've spoken to women about abortion decisions they face. now the fact that in many places this will be criminalized, making difficult decision even tougher. what are the likely impacts of this on women from a mental health perspective? >> also a major, major problem. women who might want to have an abortion, who say i was theince rape, for instance, now they won't be able to have be an
1:17 am
abortion unless they are afford to fly to new york or california or a state where abortions are still allowed. so poorer women won't be able to do that and this will create huge strains. if you are the victim of in-crincest or rape and now you have to raise that child, you may not be able to afford it financially. so there will be a tremendous st stress, destregss, anxiety, and unfortunately people who oppose abortion says we should not have abortion but did not say that we should therefore have more mental health services for all the people who would have had abortions and now can't. >> so many consequences from this, we'll have to leave it there. appreciate your perspective, doctor. breaking news from south

africa, 17 people have died from an incident in a tavern in a town of east london. police say they don't know if there are any survivors from the incident. the cause is still under investigation. many people have gathered at the scene trying to find loved ones. victims are thought to be between the ages of 18 and 20 years old. saturday in norway was supposed to be a day of celebration of pride and love, but now people are in mourning after a deadly mass shooting at a popular gay bar. we'll have the latest on the investigation next. plus as the g7 summit gets under way in germany, russia's war in ukraine is at the top of the agenda, but can leaders ramp up the pressure on moscow without suffering blowback at home? stay with us.

welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states and around the world. this is "cnn newsroom." more details now on the missile attack on a residential building in ukraine's capital. ukraine yap air force says between four and six missiles were launched at kyiv and they say russia used strategic bombers to carry out the attack. right now the city's mayor says search and rescue operations are still under way to find people trapped. at least two people have been hospitalized. that attack comes as g7 leaders are gathered in germany for their annual meeting. the war in ukraine and impact around the world will be the top of this year's agenda. the summit officially kicked off in the last hour and we're expecting a meeting between the u.s. president biden and the german chancellor to begin any minute now. we'll bring you that when it happens. but right now i'm joined by
1:31 am
natasha lindstaedt, from the university of essex. president biden trying to forge unity in the face of war in ukraine and fatigue about that war and growing energy problems. how big a challenge will this be? >> well, on the one hand there are definitely really huge challenges. far bigger challenges than when the g7 met last year because of russian aggression. now, on the positive note, the west is more united than ever in agreement that russian aggression can't be tolerated and that ukraine is on the frontline of address. that is why they have invited some other he countries like india to be able to convince countries like india that it is not just a regional conflict, this conflict is reverberating across the world. we're seeing that there are many countries that can't access wheat, and other vital food that they need. so we have a real food security crisis. and that is why it is imperative that they can be able to export
1:32 am
food out of ukraine. but one of the bigger issues is how to deal with russia. we've seen unprecedented sanctions being levied against russia. so in many ways as i mentioned the west is really united, but the u.s. is the only country that is banning russian exports of gas and oil and so bipartisan is trying to pressure some of these other western countries, ca canada, the eu countries, uk and japan, to ramp up the sanctions even further. because even though these sanctions have hurt russia, we see because the price of oil has gone up, russia's economy hasn't suffered from that standpoint. in fact they are gaining new partners like india. so it will be really important that the west comes together and really finds an approach that they can all agree upon to really punish russia to the point where they can get to the bargaining table. >> but then the fact that most
1:33 am
of these leaders here are facing a looming economic crisis, i mean, what role will that have to play in this? >> and that is one of the big issues. the u.s. is facing the worst inflation compared to some of the other countries, but the eu and canada are also facing inflation. so there is issues with the consumer price index and they are trying to figure out a way out of it. some of this caused by china's zero covid policy, some of this is caused by the war in russia and the fact that they can't export food. and so there are all kinds of problems that are playing against one another at the moment. but the key is that they need to work together and be on the same page about how they can reduce inflation and still remain exited to fighting the war in russia, or to supporting ukrainians in this war against russia because we can see how vital it is that ukraine, which as i mentioned is being at the forefront of democracy, retain its sovereignty. >> i mean, it is hard to
1:34 am
maintain that unity when you could have costs here domestically politically. so tieing in to president biden, what kind of influence do you think that he will have considering, you know know, his weak poll numbers here in the u.s. and the real fear from other leaders maybe that he may not be in office two years from now. does that -- as biden himself has said, america is back and then people look at him and say, you know, well, for how long, right? is this in leaders' minds? >> that is a really good question but i would say that biden's approval ratings which are low, which aren't great, that doesn't mean that his approval ratings around the world translate the same way. so you can look at macron. macron approval ratings were about like biden's and he was reelected and respected by word le world leaders. the west generally agrees that biden is a vast improvement from trump in terms of the fight for
1:35 am
democracy and they know that they can trust the u.s., that it is a trusted partner. there was obviously a blip with the way that chaotic withdrawal from afghanistan was handled, bug i think that they know that biden is a trusted partner that they can count on. >> yeah, you talk about the sort of difference between that and the trump presidency. i mean, bine has talked about his presidency as this sort of inflection point in the battle for survival of western democracy against and you tore t authoritarianism. but with the context of the fuel crisis, the economic turmoil we've talked about, could bifrn a booifrn biden and the other western leaders making it easier for those authorizeses in their own country to feed off all of the discontent and gain more power? >> that is another really great question. but we see when actually the great powers, most powerful
1:36 am
countries in the world, are committed to democracy being that actually influences the level of democracy arm thearoun the world. so i think that is the most important point. but the root causes of authoritarian pop uhe willism are some of the economic issues that many countries are facing so it is actually more important than ever that they address some of these concerns like inflation or unemployment or slow economic growth. these are really key issues that drive authoritarian populism in other countries. so they have to maintain it in their own countries and also understand the root causes as well. >> a lot at stake for all these countries in the next few days bui. we'll keep following it. thanks so much natasha lindstaedt. and much more to come here. including international reaction to the supreme court decision ending national legalized abortion in the u.s. stay with us.
1:40 am
protests have erurpted in the wake of the supreme court's abortion. with the mitt dterms just month away, democrats encourage advocates to express their anger at the ballot box. unsurprisingly, conservatives celebrated the ruling. >> i can't wait for other women across arkansas to have that same joy of seeing their child's face that maybe they would not have seen had it not been for today's decision. >> lawyer gloria allred says it was wasn't about conservatism but extremism. >> this is not a conservative decision.
1:41 am
this an extremist decision. and it is right that everyone who is out there on the streets in front of the supreme court, in los angeles where i spoke to a rally in downtown los angeles yesterday, in cities across the nation, we must make our voices heard. because we all have a stake in this especially poor women and young women and rural women and women of color. but all of us who care about our sisters and our daughters and our mothers and our aunts, this is completely unacceptable. >> much of the world reacted with shock after news broke about the supreme court's decision. belgium's prime minister tweeted that he was concerned about the implications of the ruling adding banning abortion never leads to fewer abortions, only more unsafe abortions. and director of the world health organization says that abortion is health care, and restricting it can lead to complications and even death. but brazil's conservative president approved writing in
1:42 am
the midst of sadness over the murder of the baby still in the woman wb who was sentenced to d with no choice. after 49 years, the decision guaranteeing the right to abortion rather. many european leaders are aghast over what the streak did. judging by their reactions, the u.s. is starkly out of step with many other democracies when to comes to basic women's rights. and the impact is being felt far outside the u.s. >> reporter: a wave of green, abortion rights advocates celebrated the decision in february legalizing abortion during the first 24 weeks of pregnancy. moving the needle forward from a previous ruling of the country in 2006 that loud the woman to gett abortion if she was raped, fetus
1:43 am
was deformed or if her life was threatened. >> translator: from now on we will be able to decide will to be mothers or not. >> reporter: but the decision still has strong opposition on friday the justice ministry confirmed that supports petitions to the court that seek to nullify the historic ruling. a sign of just how heated this battle is, not only in colombia but around the world. in latin america, protestors carrying green scarves symbolic of the abortion rights movement have gained momentum in recent years resulting in major shifts in legislation across the region. argentina the forefront of the trend in 2020 when it legalized abortion up to the 14th week of pregnancy. we want to take you now to germany and the start of the g7 summit. u.s. president biden and german chancellor schultz are about to hold bilateral talks and the grinding war in ukraine is now
1:44 am
entering its fifth month. obviously at the top of the agenda. and biden hopes to announce new sanctions and military assistance. let's listen in here. leader have already announced imports of russian gold, but there are big questions looming over the talks and most importantly whether the united western response to the conflict can be success sustained. and they face growing anger over the rising prices for gstaad, food and other goods. for right now, smiles for the camera and show of unity before the tough negotiations begin. and we see scholz there waiting for president biden maybe to come and join him on stage .
1:45 am
it will be a difficult balancing act for president biden and the other leaders here. on one hand they want to show unity and punish vladimir putin for the war in ukraine but on the other hand they don't want to incur more pain on their side economically because of course rising fuel costs and the rising inflation are threatening their own economies at home. and some of the leaders are getting more reluctant let's say taking on russian energy. and there we have president biden joining chancellor scholz.
1:46 am
1:47 am
1:48 am
want to take you back to germany and the start of the g7 summit. we can see president biden and chancellor scholz are speaking together. let listen in. >> -- messages that we all made to stay united which obviously putin has not accepted. >> and that was in no small part because of you. no small part because of you. seriously. because there was a lot of discussion whether or not in the transition how it would work. you've done an incredible job and i want to thank you for it. thank you, thank you. we have to stay together. putin didn't count on that somehow that -- he thought that
1:49 am
i though wohe thought nato woul splinter. and we haven't. so thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you very much. [ reporters calling out ] >> and we just saw job and ch chancellor sc chancellor speaking there that they have stayed united. we'll go now to the turkish firefighters who have battled a blaze near the coastal resort for a third straight day. turkish health minister says that two people are still hospitalized, 300 were evacuated as a precaution. and according to the interior
1:50 am
minister, one person has been detained after he allegedly admitted to 1setting the fighte over frustration over family issues. and there are heat advisories in place for some places today, although relief from triple digit temperatures may be in sight. and derek van dam is tracking the conditions. what is the late snes. >> kim, hi, it is not just the deep south dealing with the heat, but also the pacific northwest. and so we don't typically think about oregon and washington being this hot stifling place like the gulf coast states, but this is the exception to the rule now. in fact this is the hottest pat of the year coming up. and the heat advisories have been expanded. we start to see the local national weather service offices
1:51 am
realize just how hot it will be to today. so heat endiseases are range from 105 to 110 degrees. that is what it will feel like as you step outside. you factor in the humidity, dew point levels and wow, it will be stifling. but like i said, it is not just the deep south, we've been talking about that for several days now as our heat dome continues across that region. but now look what is forming over the western portions of the east. portland, seattle, high temperatures today 90 to 100 degrees. the difference between this heat and the gulf coast heat of course is the humidity levels. so this is more of a drier heat. but nonetheless it is abnormal for this particular part of the country. so that means that you need to be prepared for that. even into the san joaquin valley, central and southern portions of california away from the coastline, that is where temperatures today will easily reach the triple digits. so here is just sample of the record high temperatures we
1:52 am
