. welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. ahead on "cnn newsroom," a tough fight for ukraine trying to hold on to a key city that russia claims it now control. we have a leave report from kyiv. plus the palestinian authority agrees to have u.s. officials examine the bullet that killed a journalist. and travel chaos for many, travelers facing cancellations and bad weather this holiday weekend in the u.s.

live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brunhuber. >> ukraine's president will be appealing for more international aid this week when the ukraine recovery conference gets under way in switzerland. he urged his fellow ukrainians to stay optimistic. here he is. >> translator: no matter how difficult it is for us today, we must remember that there will be tomorrow. and tomorrow should bring maximum benefit to ukraine. everyone should do absolutely everything possible for this. >> russia's relentless rampage in ukraine is now most heavily focused on the key city of lysychansk, one of the few places still under ukrainian control in the donbas. a local ukrainian military official says the city is on fire. meanwhile days after russian forces abandoned snake island in

the black sea, ukraine's military is claiming it destroyed some of the equipment russians left behind. as they put it, russian spirit does not stink there anymore. scott mclean is joins us live from the ukrainian capital. let's start with the latest from the front lines. >> reporter: yeah, two differing accounts of what is happening in the city of lysychansk. this is the last major city in the luhansk region if the russians were to capture it, they would effectively control the entire administrative region because between that city and the border, there is only a handful of settlements. and so the russians would be able to take those with a lot more ease than they have been able to take places like severdonetsk and bigger cities. the ukrainians say that they were able to destroy a military convoy, they also say that the russians have been taking heavy losses, but they concede that in their words the russians are

stubbornly advancing and that the city is on fire and that it is far more destroyed than even severdonetsk was. and so the russians really are not sparing any building in that city in their efforts to gain control. they say that they have managed to surround the city and they are clearing the last remaining ukrainians out of it and that they are in control. ukrainians dispute that characterization saying it is not surrounded and they also dispute that the russians or russian-backed militias control it effectively. i should also mention that the belarusian president just this morning claims that ukrainians fired missiles in its direction. they say these missiles were shot down by belarusian forces. of course they don't actually have trooped on the ground but they have welcomed the russians to use their territory to launch attacks on ukraine just last week allowing them to fire missiles at ukraine from

belarusian air space. it also comes at the same time again just this morning the russians claim that there were a series of exclusions in the region just across the border, four injured, including a child. ukrainian s have never claimed responsibility for any of the strikes that have taken place on russian soil, usually against oil depot or military installations, though in one case they have heavily hinted at least that they are behind them. >> so turning now to the reconstruction and the conference, they are billing it as a path to a marshal plan for ukraine. what is president zelenskyy hoping to get from this? >> reporter: he needs a heck of a lot of help. this conference is usually held annually, it has been held i think the last four years to try to help ukraine with its political reforms, to get its democracy up to snuff, to cut

down on krunks and to get it in line with the rest of europe. this year it is going to be a lot different obviously because of the russian invasion, they are focused purely on the reconstruction efforts, but of course there is still a war going on right now. we were in a suburb of kyiv the other day which was home to some of the most intense shelling, some of the most intense fighting especially in the early days of war, and in this community, the russians have been long gone a couple months now, but you'd be hard pressed to find even one building that doesn't bear at least some kind of damage from the war. another example, an apartment building which has been mostly destroyed the entire penthouse suite looks like the roof of the building and i spoke to some of the residents who actually live there and they say that they are trying desperately to try to get that roof repaired in some kind of way before winter comes because obviously that brings water, it brings mold and that kind of thing. home insurance is not all that

common in this country. building materials are hard to come by as well. and so this community will need a lot of help getting back on its feet even without the russians present. and this is only, you know, one small fraction of the total damage in a country that still has potentially months to go in this war or longer. >> that's right. scott mclean, thanks so much. and the death toll is climbinging a iin iing a ukrain officials say at least 21 people and a child were killed when an attack hit a housing block. ukraine's president says russia is conducting terrorism against his country by targeting cities and civilians. here he is. >> translator: three missiles hit an ordinary residential building. a nine story building in which

no one hid any weapons or ammunition as russian propaganda said officials tell about such strikes. i emphasize, this is a deliberate purposeful russian terror, not some mistake or accidental missile strike. >> the kremlin denies targeting civilian areas in ukraine, but the attacks near odesa come just days after ukraine says russia launched attacks on a mall killing at least 18 people. the regional prosecutor say the attacks have all the signs of a war crime. salma abdelaziz spoke with him near the site earlier this week. >> reporter: we're investigating the site of the blast, he says. we have removed fragments of the rocket and we'll examine its trajectory. a group of investigators include the police and security service and we as prosecutors coordinate their activities. >> alexandra is a human rights attorney and head of the center

for civil liberties in ukraine and she joins us live from kyiv. so beer focusing here on these war crimes. how many russian soldiers do you think have been charged with war crimes so far and can you give us a sense of what specific crimes they are alleged to have committed? >> first trial was conducted on russian soldiers in kyiv. and now such crimes of individual cases we observe in different regions of ukraine. and the most cases is accusation in deliberate destroying objects. for example in one region, russian tank brigade, accused of deliberate shelling on

residential buildings. or they are accused in drib brat offenses against civilians. >> now, sometimes war crimes come as a result of let's say a rogue soldier or a rogue unit operating outside of their orders. but you've said that russia is using war crimes as a method of warfare. you can explain what you mean? >> yes, we united several dozen regional organizations after the invasion started. and we have 11,231 criminal case like the case which showed that russian used some kinds of war crimes, either crimes against humanity or war crimes. it is enormous amount. it is only evidence which is collected by our human rights initiative. so we have clearly seen it is a

pattern of behavior because the number shows for a systemic and large scale character of such actions. >> so then if it is, you know, being ordered from above, how hard is to get at those who are making those orders sort of higher up on the chain of command? >> it is very important question which is difficult to deliver at the current moment because when we speak about investigation, it needs time. and it needs resources. and now we have a situation when each ukrainian prosecutor have to investigate more than 200 cases. and this is a clear indicator that we urgently need assistance from international community. any, even the most efficient investigative bodies in the world couldn't cope with such challenge and to investigate effectively and properly new the

whole chain of command, such enormous amount of crimes. >> so you need help specifically what are you asking for? >> we are asking for strengthening ability of the national system to investigate and to prosecute war perpetrators. and it can be done in the international hybrid model, in this model national investigator will work jointly with international investigators and national judges will work jointly with international judges. >> it is such a huge task as you outlined with the number of cases that you are investigating, the volunteers who have to go there with a war still going on. what are you hearing from the people that you are talking to who are leaving the areas that have been most recently taken in the east? i'm thinking particularly of severdonetsk and lysychansk. >> you know that in lysychansk the heavy battle is still going on and the town is totally

destroyed. i see that russia use the same tactics like how they tried to occupy the city. they cdeliberately destroyed ciy structures and they burn the earth in order to occupy the city. and so i can say that the pain of people whose relatives were killed, pain of people whose loved ones were tortured, pain of people who lost their homes, so the pain. >> such suffering out there. and hopefully some of those responsible will be made to feel -- to be taken, you know, made responsible i guess i'm trying to say with your investigators. alexandra, thanks very much for

joining us. really appreciate it. palestinian authority has turned over the bullet which killed the palestinian american journalist in may to the u.s. so that it can be examined. she had been reporting on a military raid this the west bank when she was killed. she covered the israeli/panhandle conflict was two decades and was beloved for her fearless reporting. hads hadas gold is in jerusalem. what more can you tell us about the examination? >> reporter: nearly two minutes after shireen abu akleh was killed, we may be getting closer to a final answer on who killed her. the palestinian authority until now had refused to hand over the bullet that was extracted from her saying they didn't want to participate in a joint investigation because they didn't trust the israelis. yesterday palestinian authority

attorney general announced that they had agreed to give the bullet to the americans for an examination. but now there is a bit of a discrepancy about who exactly is examining the bullets. panhandle authority said that the americans would be examining it at the u.s. embassy here this jerusalem and that they were given guarantees that the bullet would not be given to the israelis. but this morning the israel defense forces spokesperson said in several interviews that the israelis will actually be examining the bullet themselves in the presence of the americans being overseen by a three star general, but israelis will be examining the bullet and that they might even be expecting the results to be released as soon as today. we've been asking the u.s. embassy here as well as the state department for any sort of comment about this discrepancy, so far they have said that they have no comment to add to this. but we should also note the timing of when this is all happening, potentially maybe something behind why this was being handed over this weekend. there is a new prime minister in

israel, yair lapid became prime minister last week. and in less than two weeks, president biden will be arriving here for meetings with both israeli and palestinian leaders. so interesting timing. and we'll of course be following any developments about the results of this investigation if they come today. >> interesting. thanks for your reporting on this, hadas gold live in jerusalem. hezbollah claims launching for three unarmed drones between lebanon and israel. they were shot down near an oilfield that stands between the disputed maritime borderlines. both countries are in the midst of indirect negotiations about the area. hezbollah warned that it could attack an israeli ship near by. idf says it appears the drones didn't pose an imminent threat. the defense minister blames

hezbollah for what he claims is preventing them from reaching an agreement on the borders 3. in afghanistan a taliban-run conference has ended with calls for the world to recognize their government is legitimate. and also to remove sanctions put in place after the taliban seized power last year. and unfreeze afghan assets abroad. this is on the heels of recent talks between the u.s. and taliban leaders about humanitarian aid for afghanistan. the taliban's takeover last year appropriated the u.s. and its allies to cut off funding crippling the afghan economy and sending millions into a severe hunger crisis. it has been a chaotic weekend for travel so far, coming up, why thousands of flights have been canceled or delayed in the u.s. over the nation's birthday weekend. and search and rescue operations are resuming this the south china sea after a ship

broke in half and sank, more than two dozen are missing. in a 21 month study,y, scientists proved that rid- x reduces up to 20% of waste build up every mononth. take the pressure off with rid-x.

search and rescue operation has resumed after a ship sank in

the south china sea. three crew members have been rescued but the fate of the remaining 27 people who were on board is unclear. the ship was caught in a typhoon and broke in half before it sank. the typhoon has been downgraded now to a tropical storm after making landfall battering parts of the mainland. a tornado associated with its outer band spun through one city ripping off roofs and up rooting trees. from asia to the u.s. where it is the start of the fourth of july holiday weekend, heavy rain could dampen some celebrations. joining us now is derek van dam. heavy rain and lightning as well. >> yeah, looks like mother nature could be creating its own fireworks this weekend depending on where you are located that is of course. we have a lot to cover here, but it is an important weekend because so many people are traveling, medillions of americs are back to the skies and roads

across the midwest and great lakes, no problems today, but i do believe that changes will be changing here especially across the greater chicago area. and we'll get into the details of that in a moment. but we have had a busy past 24 hours. yesterday we actually saw over 100 reports of wind and high wind gusts as well as wind damage across the east coast. 31 reports of hail damage. today's severe weather threats just a marginal risk across the carolinas with a departing tropical system. greatest severe weather threat today, across central montana and across the northern plains as well, damaging winds and large hail. monday the big day, july 6th, independence holiday here in the united states, this is an area where we're monitoring for the potential for several strong storms to develop. it is right now at a slight risk, level 2 out of 5. damaging winds and hail, lots of heat building underneath this.

very typical summer weather peern pattern with a heat dome. no severe weather to talk about, but this time yesterday we were talking about the formation of tropical storm collin that formed quickly on which the coastline of the carolinas, it is now a tropical depression, and the bulk of the thunderstorm activity has stayed offshore. that is good news. you're basically in the clear where actually the national weather service has dropped all warnings associated with this system along the coastline and it will exit the east coast by later today. so sunshine and comfortable temperatures across the northeast for monday, that being fourth of july, but there is the chance of thunderstorms from minneapolis to chicago, across the pacific northwest, perhaps a few isolated showers in your forecast. so mother nature making its own fireworks display perhaps. >> thanks so much, derek van dam. and weather is one of the many factors making travel over the holiday weekend a nightmare for many.

inflation is another. according to aaa rn achlaa rngs million americans are hitting the road as gas averages 4ment ab $4.81 per gallon. drivers are feeling the pain. >> it is getting crazy. my car used to be $40 to fill up and now it is $69.45. i'm over it. >> staying home this holiday, yeah. >> did the gas prices play into that? >> i guess the entire economy played into that, yeah. >> and gas prices aren't the only thing pinching consumer wallets this holiday weekend. nadia romero takes a look at how inflation is hitting every corner of the travel industry. >> reporter: despite plenty of flight cancellations and delays, tsa saw about 2.5 million americans going through security checkpoints on friday alone. that is the heist amount of travelers they have seen since

before the pandemic, since february 2020. and those travelers are doing so despite rising costs in just about every travel category. take a look. hotels are now up 23% more than last year, gas prices up 52% more expensive than just a year ago. car rentals have decreased 34% of those daily rates compared to last year, but if you haven't traveled since before the pandemic, you are looking at rates that are wabout $40 more day on average. and airfare is up about 14% more than last year. we expect to see so many more people flooding the airports this weekend along with all the travel costs. we spoke with some passengers about the obstacles that they would face this weekend and how they tried to overcome them. >> we did stop and we missed it and we're glad to be out and just enjoy our family. we missed being around them and everything, so now we get a chance to go back.

>> we just left earlier. we're here about 2 1/2 hours early and we're planning to getting on our flight on time. >> we left some spare time and we parked near by and took the m marta train in. yeah, we're super excited. >> reporter: according to aaa, the majority of americans will travel by car. 88% of americans are expected to hit the road this holiday weekend, 42 million americans will take a road trip of 50 miles or more. and highest congestion in atlanta, boston, chicago, los angeles, new york and seattle. and here back at the airport in atlanta, we saw really busy early morning start and then things started to get quieter during the late morning/early afternoon. but tsa says that they expect that to pick up again especially as we head closer to monday when people return from the holiday as well. nadia romero, cnn, atlanta.

and this weekend remember you can catch cnn's fourth of july concert special, the fourth in america, with fireworks from across the country and incredible music from some of the biggest stars. that is monday night at 7:00 eastern. still ahead, why the most explosive testimony we've heard from the january 6 committee hearing so far is holding up despite donald trump's heated denials. and the supreme court abortion ruling is polarizing americans. a look at how the white house is taking the abortion fight to the polls this november. some people haveve minor joint pain, plus high h blood pressure. and since pain relievers may affect blood pressure, they can't just take anything for their pain. tylenol® is the #1 dr. recommended pain relief and for thos with high blood pressure.

i'm kim brunhuber, this is "cnn newsroom." in washington, more fallout from this week's blockbuster hearing before the january 6 committee. former white house aide cassidy hutchinson was testifying about donald trump's actions in the leadup to and during the attack on the capitol and new information appears to corroborate some of the most stunning revelations she shared. caikatelyn polantz has more. >> reporter: we're almost a week out from the bombshell testimony about donald trump on january 6. and the bottom line here is that that testimony is holding up. so i want to walk through how it played out over the past week. so hutchinson testified in one of the instances that she spoke about that white house deputy chief of staff tony orinato told her that on january 6 donald trump was so irate about not being able to go to capitol hill with his supporters whom he knew could be violent, were armed, that he grabbed at the steering

wheel inside the presidential suv and lunged at a secret service agent there. so that is what hutchinson says she was told. she said this under oath and when she was testifying this past week, she also said that she learned this story in front of the agent who was lunged at and that he didn't correct it, he even was a little discombobulated at the time because of the episode. after the testimony there was a bit of this that was disputed, not the part about donald trump wanting to go to capitol hill and being angry that he couldn't, but there was a secret service official who denied trump had lunged in the suv and that tony orinato had told cassidy hutchinson this story and there has been an effort to discredit her including by donald trump himself following her testimony. but now we have two secret service sources telling my colleague that this story that cassidy hutchinson recounted, it

indeed was a story circulating among the secret service that trump was so angry about not being able to go to the capitol that he was berating the agents protecting them and he did lunge over the seat. so here we have this prokrob ra t krob race that the story was out there. and there is outrage in boston after dozens of people marched through the city on friday holding flags associated with the white nationalist group patriot front. boston's mayor condemned the march writing the disgusting hate of white supremacists has no place here. this is after weeks after idaho police arrested 31 alleged patriot front members during a pride event. police say that the men were planning to riot. donald trump may announce a 2024 presidential run later this month according to cnn sources.

he is apparently trying to capitalize on president biden's sinking poll numbers an wants to deflect away from the january 6 committee's investigation. here is more from washington. >> reporter: former president trump has spent the last few months weighing the best time for him to announce a third presidential campaign pen our sources tell us that he is leaning toward sooner rather than later. i mean potentially this month. trump's allies have told my colleagues and me that he is closer than ever to taking that step and he has advisers on notice that he may want to launch the campaign before the end of july. he had previously considered waiting up after the midterms. but he wants to tie inadvertent attention away from the january 6 committee's recent public hearings and bombshell revelations which some of his allies tell us have been more damaging than they anticipated. as one source put it, quote, he

knows that if he announces a run for president, he will be center stage again. and he also wants to put his potential republican rivals on notice by beating them to the punch with an early 2024 announcement and there is no one that that applies to more than florida governor ron desantis would w.h.o. would likely be trump's rival in a republican primary. and third, he wants to capitalize on this moment where president biden's approval ratings have reached new lows and americans are concerned about the current direction of the country. of course voters may have serious concerns about donald trump's personality and his prior behavior while in office. but he seems to think that economic concerns will triumph of and drive a desire for change. gaby orr, cnn, washington. protests continue to erupt on the supreme court decision to roll back constitutional protections for abortion.

this was the scene in paris on saturday. hundreds of abortion rights supporters holding signs and chanting as they marched toward the eiffel tower. a similar scene in melbourne where thousands took to the streets to protest the court's decision. and abortion activists in the u.s. aren't letting up, they are still making their voices heard a week after the u.s. supreme court overturned roe v. wade. protestors turned out in arizona, georgia and ohio among other places to protest the high court's decision carrying signs saying bans off our bodies and we won't go back. they are also criticizing their own state's attempt to pass laws designed to ban or severely restrict a woman's right to abortion. abortion rights will be a factor during the u.s. midterm elections in november. and the white house isn't letting up on the politics that ultimately led to the overturning of roe v. wade. arlette saenz has more on how the president and vice president are driving the topic home. >> reporter: the white house is

trying to keep abortion front and center just one week after the supreme court overturned roe versus wade. kamala harris was the latest messenger waging that fight as she spoke at the essence festival, a large annual gathering of black women in this country. and she talked about the serious implications of this ruling and told americans not to become disheartened by this decision. harris also talked further about the implications that this ruling will have in the country. >> what essentially has happened is the statement has been made that the government has a right to come in your home and tell you as a woman and as a family what you should do with your body. we also know that we've had a history in this country of government trying to claim ownership over human bodies. >> yes, that is right. >> and we had supposedly evolved from that time and that way of thinking.

so this is very problematic on so many levels. >> reporter: for his part president biden hosted a virtual meeting of nine democratic governors here at the white house on friday to talk about the steps those states are taking to try to protect access to abortion in their states. now, the biden administration has talked about the steps that they are trying to take on the federal level including trying to ensure that women are protected and able to cross state lines to obtain an abortion as well as trying to expand access to medication abortion. the white house has not outlined any executive actions that president biden himself might take, but he did have a significant change in rhetoric when he called for elimination of the filibuster, that is a threshold that requires 60 votes in order to pass legislation up on capitol hill. president biden has said that he believes there should be a carveout specifically when it comes to abortion and other privacy rights. but he has also acknowledged that they don't have the votes

on capitol hill do exactly that. so what he has now urged voters to do is head to the polls in november and elect democrats who would vote to codify roe v. wade into law. but a question is how big of an impact abortions will have on the midterms as so many americans have the economy at the top of their minds. arlette saenz, cnn, the white house. in texas, embattled uvalde schools police chief pete arredondo has resigned from his city council post. he has faced intense criticism over the delayed police response in the school shooting that left 19 children and two teachers dead. arredondo had been elected to the city council just week before the massacre and there are also growing calls for him to resign from his position as the school's police chief. earlier a reporter for the texas tribune spoke to cnn about the public's negative view of

arredondo. >> from our conversations with residents of uvalde the past month, really since the shooting, many of them had expressed disappointment in arredondo's conduct in the shooting, they had expressed disappointment that the city has not been forthcoming in releasing records about what happened. so many of them were grateful that finally chief arredondo had stepped down from his position on city council. of course many also want him to step down from his actual full-time job which is the police chief of the school's police department. >> and last week arredondo was placed on leave from that job but he still holds the position. cnn has reached out to arredondo's attorney for sxhept. congo's independence leader is laid to rest more than six decades after his death. two countries are hoping to bury a painful past. that is ahead. to protect your cg from damage in the wash. like fading, stretching and pilling. woolite has a first of its kind formula that keeps today's fabricscs looking like new.

61 years after his brutal murder, the remains of the democratic republic of congo's prime minister are back home. patrice lumumba has been taken down in a coup. and both nations are now hoping to close the book on the painful chapter in history. >> reporter: without dignity, there is no liberty, patrice lumumba once wrote. now more than six decades after his assassination, the stolen remains of the hero are home, finally receiving the dignity they deserve. last week belgian leaders returned all that was left of the hero at a ceremony in brussels. a single gold capped tooth, a biting reminder of a nation's anguish. >> translator: beyond the democratic republic of congo, an entire continent, africa, is

celebrating the return of one of its worthy sons. >> reporter: the democratic republic of congo held three days of national mourning for the independent leader thousand buried in the capital. and lumumba fought for the independence of the congolese people, becoming the country's first democratically elected prime minister in 1960. three months later he was murdered in a belgian supported operation. his body dismembered and dissolved in acid. and a belgian police officer brought the tooth home as loot. belgian's prime minister expressed his nation's shame. >> translator: i would like to reiterate here in the presence of his family the apology of the belgian government for the way it influenced the decision to end the life of the country's first prime minister. >> reporter: but for many congolese, an overwhelming conflict of emotion.

>> translator: i'm feeling all kinds of emotions. i am feeling sad. i am feeling happy. it is everything. >> translator: one of the repercussions of lumumba's assassination, what are the conclusions, don't know. and he was not murdered alone. there are two more bodies. where are they, we don't know. >> translator: after seeing the remains arrive here, we are reassured that our son has indeed passed away. that is why the mourning of our son begins today. today we take communion. >> reporter: the return of lumumba's remains just part of a larger effort to build a relationship between the two nations. one that congo's prime minister says is dependent upon the recognition of the past and a common effort to overcome can. lumumba's son agrees. >> translator: people see how we can build a new era, a time where we talk with respect. you need us.

we may need you. let's make it that way and build bridges between us. >> reporter: two nations reconciling the past with the hope for a better future. zain asher, cnn. some of nigeria's historic and looted artifacts are now going back home. german authorities returned the first two of more than 1,000 priceless sculptures. the artifacts date from the 13th century onwards and considered some of africa's greatest treasures. thousands were stolen by europeans in the late 1800s. german authorities say they plan to return more relics. still to come, a beet based soup is at the center of a culinary dispute between russia and ukraine. and now a u.n. declaration has one country seeing red. that is ahead. how's he still playin'? aspercreme arthritis. full prescriptioion-strength.
