11:00 pm
>> she jumped the gun. only one in five of her hunts is successful. time to lie low. her next meal should wonder by soon. hello, welcome to our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm michael homes, appreciate the company, coming up on cnn news room, the aftermath of the supreme court decision still sweeping the nation, cnn following protests across the country. the peaceful and the sometimes disordererly. plus, striking down on ukraine's capitol only strengthening the push for more military aid for allies. all of this as g-7 world leaders show
11:01 pm
united front against russia's war. we are live in germany and austria for the updates. this is cnn center with michael holmes. we begin in germany where day two of the g-7 summit gets underway soon. it is a meeting, so far, of course, not surprisingly, being dominated by russia's war on ukraine. missiles hit kyiv. one person killed, six more wounded after a strike hit an apartment building in the capitol. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is set to address the nation in few hours. [speaking in foreign language] >> what are these missiles about today?
11:02 pm
what are yesterday's 62 missiles? for only one saturday? for 24 hours or about? they are about the russian method escalate every time international events take place. they are about determination, about, forexample, the fact that the leaders of the g-7 who gather inside germ no today for a summit have enough common potential to stop russian aggression against ukraine and against europe as a whole. it is possible. >> ukraine might be getting missile defense system for ukraine. we have a look at the summit but first we will go to austria near the site of this year's meeting. good to see you, kevin.
11:03 pm
do we expect significant announcements to come out of the talks? >> reporter: heading into this g-7 they wanted to make new announcements on security and sanctions. and missile defenses that the u.s. purchased could be announced in the coming days. the u.s. is prepared to announce new shipments to ukraine. they are shifting it on the battlefield as russia is making gains in the east. the other question officials weigh inside all of this is the question of escolation. how putin might take it. that is something that president biden sort of considering every time he makes one of these announcements how it could have the potential to escalate the situation further. the other topics under discussion here are sanctions. that a ban on gold imports from
11:04 pm
russia that the leaders agreed to yesterday that is set to be announced tomorrow. the other thing that the leaders have been discussing is price caps on russian oil. the energy revenues are up despite all of these bans on the imports around the country. the leaders are looking to do something about that during there summit as well. and of course they are all trying to put forward this image of unit you saw them yesterday, arm and arm at that family photo taking their ties off, really getting down to business, literally rolling up their shirtsleeves. president biden talked about the importance of unity as he was meeting with the german chancellor yesterday, listen to what he had to say. >> we have to stay together. putin is counting on it from the beginning, somehow nato would
11:05 pm
and g-7 would splinter. but we haven't, we are not going to. can not let this aggression take the form it has and get away with it. >> staying united a bid this war as questions loom about what it might look like in the coming months will be the leader's tasks in the weeks ahead. michael? >> all right. thanks for the wrap there, kevin. appreciate that. let's bring in fred blanken. there are always protests at these gatherings what is happening at that front this year? >> to be honest the protests around the g-7 summit, before it started and yesterday as it was underway they were a lot smaller than a lot of the ones in the past. it is an interesting phenomenal. it seems as though the antig-7 movement, in many ways here in europe is an antinato and some in cases anti-american movement as well, that is in
11:06 pm
identity crisis. i spoke to the organizers of one of the protests that took place. he believes one of the reasons few people turn out is some do not believe with the ukraine war going on it is appropriate to protest against the leaders who are trying to come to terms with that. we walked along with the protests yesterday, the main one here in the town that is closest to the actual summit that you can still get to. there was not a single ukrainian flag or a banner for solidarity with ukraine among the people there. they seem to have other issues. they were once again against g- 7 but little in the way of solidarity with ukraine. that certainly does have seem to put people off that normally would of attended. one interesting thing that happened along the way. there was sort of a
11:07 pm
counterdemonstration by pro-ukrainians calling for solidarity. and they blasted their sound system more to drowned them out. that is what we are seeing here. it appears to us as there are fewer protests at this g-7 summit because the war in ukraine seems to be something that movement has a lot of trouble dealing with, michael? >> fascinating about the ukrainian aspect of it. speaking of ukraine, president volodymyr zelenskyy will address the g-7 what are we expecting to hear from him? >> reporter: i think it will be an important address for volodymyr zelenskyy. i think there are two things to be expected. two things that they tell international leaders. and they need more weapon, that is something that goes without saying. i think he is going to show his appreciation for the deliveries that have been made and if you look at some of the european countries for them, michael, this g-7 summit is important.
11:08 pm
specifically for the german leader. he has been taking flack for germany for some believes he was providing heavy weapons to ukraine too slowly and not in significant enough amount. that sound bite that kevin was just playing there of the u.s. president praising him that was something that important to the german chancellor. i know from speaking to german officials that some of the german weapon deliveries that are in the works, multiple rocket launching systems that the germans are set to give to the ukrainians and train them on, that is something that is happen with cooperation with the united states. you have the hawks here but you have a significant factor within his own political party that believes that germany should essentially do less and try to also work with russia a little bit, maybe not work with russia but try to listen to russia and speak to putin and a lot of them are
11:09 pm
simply afraid for the german economy. germany is dependent on russian oil and gas and coal. there are fears here in this country that if all of that is shut off, germany could lose its role as a major industrial power and lose its wealth as well. one of those things with the proximity of russia and dependence on the energy a huge factor here as well, michael? >> yes. fascinating. all right, appreciate it. thanks to you both. joining me now from washington, d.c., cnn political and national security analyst david singer. david, always good to have you on. a great article about the g-7. how big of an issue is unity when it comes to russia's war in ukraine and how the world responds to it? are western allies still united? >> i think they are for now. it is clear there is fatigue setting in. you know, you heard henry
11:10 pm
kissinger and macron all say in the past month or so that we need to think about what kind of compromise can be reached with the russians that might ultimately give them some land in the case of macron that said we have to be careful not to humiliate putin, give him something for what he has done. you are seeing smaller cracks, the bigger issue out here michael, that we are just in a very different phase of the war than we were when the president was last in europe at the end of march. at that time the shock was still on and people were loading on new sanctions. now they have to think about sustaining a long war. >> and to that point, i mean, despite the sanctions and all of the unity so far and all of the weapon being sent, russia has the momentum right
11:11 pm
now. putin has shown 0 sign of backing down. how then might strategies to deal with him going forward be addressed g-7 and the nato meeting starting on wednesday? >> well, it is going to be a challenge. while the sanctions have been successful in reducing the amount of oil he can export obviously natural gas is continuing to flow and because oil prices have risen so, russia is not suffering from quite as much of a revenue decline as you might think. there are some signs, though, of the sanctions having some bite. the export controls of semiconductors and other electric components are seriously beginning to hurt the russian military. and, we have seen some reports that russia is right on the verge of defaulting for the first time on its sovereign debt. >> a bill deal. you are right. i know you have been interested
11:12 pm
in this aspect, putin said on saturday that he would move nuclear capable missiles into belarus. that is going to spread it back into soviet states what are the situation fist that were to happen? >> i think this is the most important and least discussed development of the weekend of the ukraine war. ever since the fall of the soviet union we have seen a shrinkage of the nuclear footprint. ukraine gave up the nuclear missiles that were based there. belarus did and other soviet states. if we are beginning to see that some of these states are once again becoming a base for russian missiles that tells you that we are going to
11:13 pm
reconfigure the nuclear defenses for the west and we could be back in an arms race cycle. >> yeah. and that, that is frightening. >> i want to get your thoughts on this, too, how much damage has the events in reference to the g-7 and nato, how. has it impacted u.s. standing at gatherings like these? is it harder for the u.s. to say be a strong democracy like us, when that democracy is really being so shaky to be honest? >> it has been a problem since january 6. people think about january 6 here in the united states as its own dynamic and i can understand why they do. a traumatic moment and as we now know. but it was also for the argument that this is a battle between democracies
11:14 pm
and autocracy taking place now. a line that president biden likes to use and used often. and we are basically making the case no you want to be more like us and less like china and russia. well, people get the less like china and russia part but i am not sure the version of democracy they are ready to sign up for is the american version. that is why the chinese and russians kept playing the tape of january 6 and saying you guys want democracy? this is what you get. >> yeah. yeah. reputational harm for sure. of course, a lot of other big issues globally, inflation, looming food shortage, supply chain issues, energy prices as you pointed out. many of them tied to or influenced by russia's invasion, when it comes to the g-7 when can they do about those issues that are global issues? >> well, i think there are two big energy life related issues they will have to grapple with. first of all they are going to
11:15 pm
need a common strategy about how to go deal with gas imports from russia. if they continue trying the import at this level they are being held at russia's mercy if the russians decide that they are not getting enough concessions in ukraine and they are just going to turn the taps on for a bit. a big issue for the germans is they have wanted this to be about climate and instead it is the germans themselves that have talked about keeping some of their dirtiest generation sites going in order to insulate themselves more from the russians. we are beginning to see the tension between supporting the ukrainians and supporting our climate goals. >> yeah, yeah. the germans wanted it to be all about climate and that got derailed. david, thank you very much so much, always good to talk to you. >> great to be with you.
11:16 pm
now, as the g-7 got under way russian missiles continued to rain down on ukraine. a 7-year-old girl, one of six people wounded when one of the attacks hit an apartment building and a kindergarten in kyiv. one person was killed. in southeastern ukraine, the mayor says hundreds of residents are held captive in the russian occupied city and the situation has grown worse over the past two weeks. he says people are being electrocuted, beaten and held for months. meanwhile, on sunday, ukraine's president addressed the people of neighboring belarus. a close ally of moscow and where russia launched many attacks on ukraine. volodymyr zelenskyy spoke in russian to make a direct appeal to the belarusian people. [speaking in foreign language] >> you are being drawn into the war. even more actively than in february and in the spring months.
11:17 pm
the kremlin has decided everything for you. your lives are worth nothing to them. you are not slaves or cannon fotter. do you not have to die. >> abortion right supporters took to the streets across the u.s. this weekend to vent their anger at the supreme court's decision on roe v. wade. that is still to come on the program. also, the high courts ruling could have some americans crossing the border into canada. a look at what that could mean for clinics there. what's on the horizon? the answers lie beyond the roads we know. we recogze that energy demand is growing, and the world needs lower carbon solutions to keepp.
11:18 pm

11:21 pm
welcome back. shock waves are still rippling across the united states after the supreme court overturned roe v. wade and ended constitutional protection for apportion. demonstrations against the ruling have cocontinued throughout the weekend and the first poll conducted after the court's decision is now out. the cbs news poll conducted on friday and saturday found that nearly 60%
11:22 pm
of americans think the ruling was the wrong move. more than half of those surveyed said it was a step backwards for america. pro abortion rights protests are taking place in both blue and red states and officials in areas controlled by democrats say they are taking steps to protect the right to abortion and preparing for influx of patients traveling from states where the procedure is now banned. alexander field reports to us from missouri. abortions are no longer performed in as many as 10 states across the united states, missouri the first to declare they would put the ban into effect after the supreme court's seismic decision came down. that left women largely across midwestern states scrambling to figure out where they can go for procedure if they need one. if they are looking for one. here in missouri it is something that thousands of women have been doing every year.
11:23 pm
that is because abortion facilities were limited in this state already. one clinic still providing abortions. it was open just one day a week. we spoke to the chicago abortion fund, helping to coordinate care provides logistical and financial support. it is the logistical help that so many will need right now in trying to determine where they can go for care. the state of illinois according to the chicago abortion fund is bracing for the possibility that they could see tens of thousands of patients entering the state for abortion services, the chicago fund says many of them will need financial help and not just to cover the cost of the procedure but also to cover the costs associated with the travel hotel rooms, gas, tickets, childcare. in st. louis, missouri, cnn. in new york, planned parenthood kicked off the city's pride parade just two days after the supreme court ruling. cnn was there with the details.
11:24 pm
>> reporter: crowds are back to celebrate new york city pride. however, this year, another additional element of protests as planned parenthood was invited to lead the parade this year. symbolic move, meant to echo the frustration and anger that we have seen in new york city since the supreme court ruling was handed down on friday. i heard from not just spectators but participants heavy on their mind, thomas' additional opinion that perhaps it is time to reexam previous rulings involving gay marriage. it certainly is a major concern for many of the participants parade. though the court in the conservative mag arty assured the friday ruling was not meant to effect that particular part of the law. that is still providing little to assure participants here. one is calling it terrify. >> he is gutting for people
11:25 pm
that are different and things people are afraid of. it gives us power, it gives us strength to fight back. the fact that he, you know, pointed out those names we know what he is gunning for. we will be fighting right back. >> they promised under oath. they lied to you under oath. they lied to your community, my community as a woman. i am safe in new york because it is my state's constitution but it is not just about us it is about everyone in all 50 of the states. >> the majority did write that the ruling on friday does not call into question any aspects of same sex-related rulings in the past. that does little to assure people here. it opens up the conversation about what, if anything, new york will do to take additional steps to codify that aspect of the law. it sets the country on a path to continue a further politically charged conversation. back to you. more than half of the
11:26 pm
states are moving quickly now to ban abortion in the wake of the court's ruling. that has clinics in canada preparing for a possible influx of americans seeking services. our cbc news has the details. >> reporter: canada long promised that clinics will be open for american women who want an abortion. >> we have had conversations about what it could look like for canada to support american women in need. i know those conversations are ongoing. >> reporter: those that cross the border for reproductive services will pay out-of-pocket or through their own insurances. >> barriers would be a passport, longer stays potentially and navigating a health care system that is not one they are used to. it is a big unknown. >> 60% of the people that seek abortions are people that already have children. >> it is hard to say how many americans might come to canada for abortions. >> coming to canada would be
11:27 pm
their only way out of not being criminalized for health care. >> reporter: some provinces will see more than others. >> especially in the prairie provinces, they are bordering with states whose trigger laws are in place may make it a crime to get an abortion as of today. >> reporter: in some urban areas canadian patients do not usually have a long wait for an abortion appointment. but what happens if americans begin to access the health care system? >> even a small number of americans coming up could overwhelm our health systems and yes we are concerned. we don't have the capacity or the access to accommodate americans not many of them. >> reporter: right now, seeing few americans look to canada for abortions. >> it is not super common. i would say that our clinics field calls, you know, maybe five or six times a week for people looking for resources.
11:28 pm
>> if that changes it will be up to americans to decide if it makes more sense to seek an abortion in states that still allow it or come to canada. back to you. >> thanks to our affiliate cbc for that report. we will take a quick break. when we come back, 22 people, most of them teenagers die mysteriously at a tavern in south africa. we will have the latest on the investigation for you so this is the meta portal plus. a smart video calling device that makes working from home work. a 12-megapixel lens makes sure your presention is crystal clear. ansmart camera auto pans and zooms to keep yo perfectly in frame. oh, and it syncs with your calendar. plus, with zoom, microsoft teams, and webex,

11:48 pm
the ruling according to the police. south carolina, six people arrested on saturday at a protest attended by hundreds of people downtown. according to a news release. video taken by emily porter shows the moment the police detained several demonstrators in downtown greenville at the rally. a video shared with cnn the police detaining several people and forcing a man to the ground. officers also seen yelling at protesters to get back. although another officer tells protester who's are jeering the police, we are not on either side. in washington, d.c., u.s. capitol police arrested two people on side afternoon for the destruction of property after they were accused of quote throwing paint over the fence by the u.s. supreme court. ucp tweeted and philadelphia and los angeles. and in new york city, many demonstrators gather inside washington square park to protest the ruling even though new york state law will remain in place to protect abortion rights. >> here in mississippi, the

11:51 pm
with contraception, same sex and marriage equality. on the last issue it was seven years ago the lead plaintiff received a celebratory phone call from barack obama after the supreme court legitimized same-sex marriage in all 50 states. >> ink you so much sir. >> hours ago, jim spoke with cnn about the latest developments. >> it has been a terrible several days for our nation. half of the country lost the
11:52 pm
right to control their own body and that should terrify everybody in this nation who believes in our ability to make decisions for ourselves. then to have justice thomas put a target on the back of the right to contraception, intimacy with the person you love and though right to marry the person you love, that should terrify everyone in this nation. this is a terrible decision from this court and it flies in the face of making this nation a more perfect union. everybody in this nation should want us to move forward as we learn more about the world and humanity. this court is taking us backwards. this extreme court is taking us
11:53 pm
backwards. >> you said it was telling he went after the cases he did but left out the case that legalized interracial marriage. >> to me it is a clear indication that if it is a case that impacts him directly it is safe but if it is a case that protects other people who were unlike him, we are not safe. again this is a overstep by the government to say, the government has the right to step into that room were a woman is having a conversation with her physician or loved ones. overstepping the right to privacy, we stand to lose the ability to have intimate relations in the privacy of our home and not have them decriminalized. this decision is appalling.
11:54 pm
you say there were errors of judgment made in those cases, i suggest that you look in the mirror because that is the error in judgment. you are taking away rights and threatening rights that we deserve as human beings. at this point the only way we can fight this is by speaking up and using our voice. i contacting our elected officials in every level of government, whether it is city council or state legislature, you need to use your voice and speak up. protest, to whatever it is you can do to make your values clear and demand your elected officials that they protect your values. keep in mind this decision, they talk about history and tradition and fundamental rights have to have a long history of tradition in our
11:55 pm
nation. i would like to remind justice thomas that the right to interracial marriage is only six years older than a woman's right to abortion, that is not a long history of tradition and our nation has a longer history of denying interracial marriage, do we really want to go back to the late 18th century, is that the type of nation we want? when that constitution was written, we the people did not include blacks, indigenous people, women, or people. that is not the nation the constitution promises. >> when i was talking to one of our legal analysts, he said by virtue of clarence thomas mentioning the cases in that opinion, it opens the floodgates
