there are victims as young as 13 following is tragedy inside of a tavern in south africa. it is unclear how they died. live from london, this is cnn newsroom. happy monday, we begin this hour in germany where they 2 gets underway soon. it is a meeting that has so far been dominated by russia's war on ukraine. leaders are expected to hear from the ukrainian president in the next hour, he is expected to press for more sanctions on russia and military aid. with the war fueling a surge of energy and food crises, they talk about how to sustain the
12:02 am
pressure while also limiting the economic fallout. joe biden also pointed to the rising costs as a reason for nations to fund new developments in clean energy. have a listen. >> the entire world is feeling the impact of russia's brutal war in ukraine and on our energy markets. we need worldwide effort to invest in transformative clean energy projects. >> meanwhile doris johnson is urging allies not to falter when it comes to supporting ukraine. warning that the consequences of a russian victory could be catastrophic. >> if we let vladimir putin get away with it, and nixon conquer sizable parts of a free independent sovereign country,
12:03 am
then the consequences for the world are absolutely catastrophic. >> meanwhile ukraine says russian forces are pressing their offensive in the country's east cities, they are under near constant bombardment. some places are heavily damaged. russian forces are relentlessly destroying homes, industrial sites and local government buildings. these images show a seven-year- old girl, one of six people wounded sunday when russian strikes at a apartment building in the capital, kyiv. in southeast ukraine, the mayor says hundreds of residents are being held captive in the russian occupied city and the situation has grown worse. he says people are being shocked with electricity, eaten and held for months. sunday ukraine's president addressed the people from where
12:04 am
russia has launched many attacks. >> you are being drawn into the war and even more actively than in february and the spring months. the kremlin has already decided everything for you, your lives are worth nothing to them, you are not slaves or cannon fodder, you do not have to die and you can prevent anyone from deciding for you what awaits you next. >> first i want to go to kevin in austria, near the site of this year's summit, we are of course expecting to hear from the president in the coming hours. who will call for more help and with three assistance, give us a sense of what you are hearing. is unity against this war still there?
12:05 am
>> certainly these leaders are putting forward that image of unity and those missile strikes yesterday stiffened the spines of these leaders to ensure that vladimir putin saw a united front. heading into the summit, officials did say to expect new announcements on sanctions and military assistance and we learned that u.s. is prepared to announce it has purchased a advanced surface to air medium to long range missile defense system that ukraine was asking for. that is in the offing as is new shipments of ammunition and radar systems, officials are also talking about sanctions, they are preparing to announce a new ban on imports of russian gold. another thing they are talking about is a price cap on russian energy. as the price of oil skyrockets, russia's oil revenues are up
12:06 am
despite the global bans on that around the world, that is something the leaders are discussing. western leaders at the g7 one turned the momentum around in ukraine as russia continues to make gains on the battlefield, they are also weighing that with concerns about potential escalation. every time the president announces one of these new missile systems, he takes into account how vladimir putin might respond. that is the dueling questions these leaders deal with. they started yesterday, they rolled up their sleeves to get the talks underway. there was a image of unity. president biden discussed that with the german chancellor, listen to some of what he had to say. >> we have to stay together. vladimir putin has been counted
12:07 am
out from the beginning. we are not going to splinter, we cannot let them get away with it. >> staying united will only become more difficult as prices rise around the world is a effective this war so that will be the task for these leaders in the weeks and months ahead. >> to stay with us, let us go to kyiv, as the g7 got underway over the weekend, missiles were raining down after weeks of relative calm. give us a sense of what you have seen. >> as the leaders were gathering over the weekend, we just saw a expansion of russian aggression. are using territory to drop bombs and airstrikes here in ukraine, there are strikes everywhere all the way along the eastern front down to the
12:08 am
south and yes here in the capital there has been a sense of calm since russian troop russia reminding everybody that they still have the ability to hit back. this is how it played out. >> a attack that rattled ukraine's capital. in their early hours of sunday morning multiple missiles had a residential area. a nine story apartment block was struck leaving families trapped in the rubble. dozens of rescue workers scrambled to pull survivors out of the ruins, using cranes to reach the still smoldering top floor. they watched in horror as first responders try to rescue her daughter in law. losing loved ones is the worst fate she said. this video from emergency services shows the harrowing rescue.
12:09 am
after the ordeal, she was pulled out injured but alive. >> for weeks the capital has been relatively secure and quiet. this will absolutely shatter the semblance of safety. >> several other residents were wounded including a seven-year- old daughter who was cut by fragments as she slept. the backyard of a nearby kindergarten was also struck, leaving shrapnel were children play. on the scene the mayor expressed outrage. >> we have to do everything to stop this war, thousands of civilians are dying. >> there are a number of military buildings in the area officials say but the victims are innocents. the airstrikes are happening as
12:10 am
g7 leaders are gathering. a possible message from vladimir putin. >> this is a on even war in every single way. russia has more manpower, more weapons, more willingness to inflict brutality, volodymyr zelenskyy is expected to address the g7 in a hour and he will bring that up, he will talk about civilian losses and he will bring up how outgunned his country is. >> we will expect to hear from him in the next hour and as soon as he speaks we will bring it to you. i would like to bring in a member of ukraine's parliament. thank you very much for taking the time to speak to us. we are expecting to hear from the president who will address the g7 leaders, what is his message going to be given how the momentum has shifted in russia's favor as of late. >> thank you for having me.
12:11 am
the message should be that everything we are getting, we are grateful for but we need more weapons, more supplies and we need them fast. the message will be about the sense of urgency we have now, russia learned its lesson and they are pushing harder and they are being more strategic. it is extremely hard for us, the country is 10 times smaller than russia and 10 times less people. the difference between weapons and supplies is crucial here. it makes it impossible for us to hold on. it is a miracle we have been holding on for that long. it has been four months already into this war and we are doing our job to protect the democratic world against russia but we also want the world to
12:12 am
do their part and make sure while their emotions may be winding down, support of ukraine is for world leaders. >> for the world to do their part, that is what you say. is your sense that there needs to be greater urgency? if not, why not? >> everybody is asking me when the world war will end, my answer is the sanctions will start working only in 2023 so the expectation that though war will and now is not paid based on any facts. second, we only started getting the weapons we were promised at the beginning of this war, it took four months for them to be fulfilled, so right now we need
12:13 am
not only promises but we need them fast and we need them to get to the front 10 times faster than before. we will be fighting barehanded otherwise. i have a small office that was destroyed by three missiles, $300,000 spent on one small building and they are using those resources without inking because they have tons of them, we cannot afford this luxury which is why we need more support and supplies. >> explained to our viewers why it is taking so long for well weapons to get to ukraine. is it a lack of commitment from western leaders? why is it taking this long?
12:14 am
>> there are a couple of things. there's a difference between the statement the politician makes and then the country actually releases the weapons, then there is the logistics on both ends. we are protecting weapons supplies from russian missiles, they are targeting the supply routes for the weapons, with all of that combined, it may take a couple of months. these are a couple of months we do not have. >> these are a couple of months that could tip the balance on the front lines. let me ask you about the politics, g7 leaders are hoping to project some western unity
12:15 am
but is president volodymyr zelenskyy concerned about fatigue and if so how does he go about countering that? >> we want to see that the support is not only emotional but in the plans of democratic countries as a part of development and strategy. our only question would be, if you are slow in supporting ukraine, what is the plan? let russia move forward? we are two months away from autumn. is it to negotiate? he could lose his leverage, he can ramp up his prices as high as he can to make sure he has
12:16 am
the upper hand in the potential negotiation. this is why we need to take the momentum now while he is not as strong as he can be. >> do you think when we get to autumn, that some of the support from western leaders, do you think the support for ukraine will wane? >> i have questions about that that is why i want all of the plans and strategies secured by autumn. it will be emotional and a very hard autumn and winter for us
12:17 am
in europe. this is why we need all of the agreements and plans in place before that. to survive it is one thing. >> where are we briefly on the diplomatic front? it has been said by some in the west that ukraine is spending more time speaking to its allies in the west then to russia to try to find a and to the work? what do you say to those comments? >> all of the negotiations and discussions with russia are useless before we have a understanding a was support in terms of guarantees that we have. imagine we make peace with russia and the next day he breaks his word which we all are sure he is because we have been fighting with him for eight years already and we know how he acts. what will happen next? nobody can explain their plan for this.
12:18 am
everybody thinks that vladimir putin will keep his word but he will not. there is no negotiation, there is no making peace with him, it will be fighting from our side. we are doing everything possible to fight for every inch of ukrainian land. you can see the attacks, you see how many people are dying from the front. we already paid the price for our land, we cannot just forget. >> always appreciate you being on the show. thank you very much. in the wake of the supreme court's decision, pro-abortion rights demonstrations have been happening in blue and red states. officials in areas told by
12:19 am
democrats say they are taking steps to protect access to the procedure. >> reporter: abortions are no longer being performed and as many as 10 states across the u.s., misery was among the first to declare they will put their bandit to affect after the supreme courts decision came down. that has left women across midwestern states scrambling to figure out where they can go for procedures if they need one. here in missouri it is something thousands of women have been doing every year because abortion facilities were so limited in this state already, there was still one clinic providing abortions, we spoke to the chicago abortion fund which is hoping to coordinate care for physicians across the u.s., they provide logistical and financial support. it is the logistical help that
12:20 am
people will need in trying to determine where they can go. the state of illinois is bracing for the possibility that they can see tens of thousands of additional patients entering the state for abortion services, the chicago fund says many patients will need financial help, not to just cover the cost of the procedure but to cover travel costs, hotels, gas, tickets and childcare. in st. louis, cnn. just ahead, 22 people, most teenagers mysteriously die at a tavern in south africa. we will have the latest on the investigation. a bullfight turns deadly after the stadium partially collapses. when we return.

12:26 am
>> the south african police minister said these are not natural debts but he ruled out the possibility of a stampede. the authorities have not said what the cause could be. he lectured the parents when they were grieving asking why they did not know where their kids were at night, right now there is some outrage and heartbreak in south africa. according to some claims on social media, this is a common occurrence especially at this tavern. the owner claims he was not aware of it and he was not there when it happened. >> a lot of answers still needing to be answered for families. thank you very much. sunday, a bull fighting

welcome back, russia's war on ukraine is dominating the agenda at this year's summit in germany. the second or the day of talks is getting underway soon, in the coming hours, the ukrainian president will address leaders virtually. he is expected to ask for more sanctions against russia and more aid. anthony blinking told cnn, they will do everything they can to continue to support the crane. it comes as officials say russian forces are pressing their offensive in the east of the country. heavy shelling is being reported. let's bring in fred live from germany, for many of the leaders at g7 this is a fine
12:32 am
balancing act, how to help ukraine but help the world deal with the consequences, rising prices, energy costs, inflation. >> you are right, it is a difficult balancing act and you do see in some of the european societies, there is a bit of fatigue that is setting in as far as the war in ukraine is concerned. one of the big tasks that president biden had here at the g7 summit was to rally the western nations, and make sure they keep in line and remain strong. from what we have seen so far from the summit, it seems to have been achieved, one of the things president biden did is he had a bilateral meeting with the leader of germany and he said he believed he was doing a
12:33 am
amazing job and he was steadfast with the u.s. this is something that was very important. you do have a certain amount of people that believe germany is not doing enough and needs to give ukraine more weapons but you have a not unsubstantial part of the population you have the fatigue setting in. they are not sure if germany should still be supporting this and they are afraid of the economic consequences. germany unlike no other country in europe is dependent on russian energy. massively dependent on russian fuel, gas and coal. it is very important for president biden to keep the germans and other nations in line and make sure they can remain steadfast and that is something that has been achieved. we are looking closely at to what volodymyr zelenskyy says when he addresses the g7, he
12:34 am
will be asking for more heavy weapons but also showing a appreciation for the fact that there has been a steadfast assault. a find it difficult balancing act. some of the european leaders are going to now. >> as we were told in the last 20 minutes, they want to see some sort of strategy from the g7 leaders, we have winter coming and the need for gas as well but also the rising energy and food costs. we will speak to you in the next hour or so. thank you very much. somalia's worst drought in decades coupled with soaring food is putting millions at risk of starvation. we will have a look at crisis, just ahead.

12:49 am
cnn. it is not just protesters making their voices heard, so many across the country are expressing their anger and concerns over what this ruling would mean for women. have a listen. >> imagine what that is like, to have been in that room when the decision came down and multiplied that by thousand says people are waking up and understanding that they no longer get this choice or make this decision. what it will mean for them is that they will desperately be trying to find care elsewhere, what it will mean is there health will be put at risk. we are hearing that people who are in the position, wherefore there health have to manage a abortion are now desperate and worried about being criminalized for doing so and
12:50 am
it will also mean that many people end up being bound up in the criminal justice system, it is so unfair we are in this position at all. >> most abortion-rights demonstrations have been peaceful but take a look at this, that is jody sweden, who starred in full house, being thrown to the ground by police in los angeles, her publicist says she was with pro-abortion rights protesters trying to march on a freeway. witnesses report she got back up and continued demonstrating. the lapd said it was reviewing the incident. meanwhile in new york planned parenthood took to the streets to kickoff the pride parade two days after the ruling. we were there and we have the details. >> reporter: the crowds are back to celebrate new york pride
12:51 am
however this year another additional element of protests as planned parenthood was invited to lead the parade, a symbolic move meant to echo the frustration and anger we have seen since the supreme court ruling was handed down. i heard from spectators and participants that heavy on their mind was the justice thomas's additional opinion where he said he would like to re-examine previous rulings involving marriage. this is concerning for many participants in this year's parade. though the court assured the friday ruling was not meant to affect that part of the law, that is providing little to reassure participants here and one person calling it terrifying. >> he is really gunning for people that are different and things he is afraid of. it gives us power and strength to fight back.
12:52 am
the fact that he pointed out those names, we know what he is gunning for. >> they lied to you under oath, they lied to this community. i know i am safe and new york that it is not just about us. >> reporter: on friday the conservative majority did write that the ruling on friday does not call into question any aspects of same-sex rulings in the past but that does little to assure people here. it opens up the conversation about what new york will do to take additional steps to codify those aspects of the law. it also sets the country on a path to further political he charged conversations. cnn. turkish police detained more than 350 protesters for
