decade. while we have de explorerred violence, we've not done much about it. perhaps this is because confronting the problem of violence forces us to confront the most serious defects in our society. hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. you are watching cnn news room. and i'm rosemary church. just ahead police look for a motive in a deadly shooting at a copenhagen mall. we'll bring you the latest on the investigation there. an ohio community demands justice after the release of police body cam video showing the shooting of a black man. ukraine lose ascii city as it

11:02 pm
>> we were five meters from an exit. we stayed on the roof maybe 15 minutes. the police arrived. people kept running, i don't know if they were running after him. it was panic. it was not very clear. >> the suspected gunman is due to face a judge on monday. we're in london with more details on this. >> well, the investigation is still very much ongoing. and we are still learning more information about this incident hour by hour. at this stage, police have confirmed that one individual has been arrested. a 22-year-old danish man was identified. and they have not ruled out the possibility of further suspects just yet. they have confirmed that tragic news that there are several fatalities reported and three people have been hospitalized so far. but police have yet to provide further details on their
11:03 pm
current condition. the hospital where these three different individuals were taken have said extra staff were called in to deal with the emergency situation the incident took place during a busy sunday afternoon. at copenhagen fields mall a popular shopping center in the city and an area that's close to one of the city's largest concert venues. for now, police say they're maintaining a heavy motive beh incident? that is still unclear. although police officials have said they cannot rule out the possibility that this may have been terror related. however, i have to stress the motive is still very much unclear and the investigation remains ongoing. cnn london. the city of akron, ohio, is on edge after police released disturbing body cam video showing the fatal police
11:04 pm
shooting of a 25-year-old blackmon. akron's police chief says jaylen walker suffered at least 60 gunshot wounds citing a medical examiner's report. the release of this information comes a week after officers tried to stop walker from an alleged traffic violation. cnn is following this case and the investigation into the officer's actions. >> authorities in akron, ohio vowing to proceed with this investigation with transparency and with scrutiny as they continue to look into the police shooting of jaylen walker. over the weekend, authorities at the city of akron released 18 minutes worth of video. each minute basically offering a difference perspective. showing those responding officers about eight total before they opened fire shooting and killing walker. investigators also over the woakd saying or sharing more about that possible perceived threat that provoked the lethal response from officers.
11:05 pm
including a single gunshot that came from inside the car while police were chasing the vehicle being driven by walker and it was shortly after that pursuit turned from a vehicle chase to a foot chase that you can see in the video clearly those eight officers opened fire, the barrage of bullets, the police chief saying on sunday that those officers will have to account for each one of the shots that they fired. they need to be able to articulate what specific threats they were facing. and that goes for every round that goes down the barrel of their gun. and they need to be held to account. >> the investigation is now in the hands of state authorities here. both the walker family and apd maintain that walker himself was unarmed at the time of the actual police shooting. so in the meantime, investigators continue to press on with the case as the people here in akron continue to call for accountability and for justice. as for the eight officers involved, they continue on paid
11:06 pm
administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation. cnn, akron, ohio. we turn now to ukraine where russian forces have claimed control of a critical city in the east. on sunday, ukraine's military said it was forced to withdraw from a key target in russia's push to take control of the dan danbask. cities in donetsk are coming under increased attack. ukrainian officials say six people were killed and 15 wounds amide some of the heaviest shelling in recent days. in his nightly add dress, ukrainian president vladimir zelensky said russia has built up massive fire power in the danbas. he vowed they'll retake the
11:07 pm
territory they've lost. >> if the command of our army withdraws people from certain point of the front where the enemy has the greatest fire superiority, it means one thing, we will return, thanks to our tactics, thanks to the increase in the supply of modern weapons. ukraine does not give anything up. we are gradually moving forward. in the car kiev region, and at sea. that's a good example of this. there will be a day when we will say the same about danbas. for more we want to bring in scott mcclain. he joins us live from kiev. it appears russia now controls the region in the east. but ukraine vows to regroup and fight back while calling for more heavy weapons from the west, what is the latest on all
11:08 pm
of this? hey rosemary, look, this is mission accomplished for the russians at least that's how they would very much like to see it. partially accomplished i should say. they have far more goals in ukraine they would like to accomplish. but taking the entire region is certainly one of them. the leader of the break away lpr region said that this day is one that's going to go down in history. now, the ukrainian army chief in that region said the ukrainians still do have a very small toe hold in the region. in one other small village near the boundary. but effectively the russians control everything else. by in large, they have taken the region. now the ukrainians in their decision to withdraw said they wanted to preserve the lives of their troops. and there's one good reason for that, because they say they were out gunned, they were out manned in the skies and on land, as you mentioned,
11:09 pm
president zelensky says they're planning to go back and retake that land of course but they're not going to do it until they have the heavy weapons to match the russians. my colleague phil black met with soldiers hiding in the forest. they said for every shot we're firing the russians are firing ten or twenty of them. the good news here if there is any is that the local residents wo stayed behind, they don't have to shelter in their pacements any more. it was far too late to evacuate. but cnn spoke to the military chief in that area who said that he believes that many of the people who decided to stay, they refused to evacuate. he thinks that's because they were collaborate with the russians, helping them to adjust they fire, telling the russians their exact position. which sped up the process of
11:10 pm
taking that territory. he figures the russians will move on. and once they have, assuming they take luhansk and danesk. when they try to take back their own lands the russians will say you're attacking russian territory. there are plenty of signs the russian haves moved on to danesk. you mentioned the shelling. and there were missile strikes a well. >> scott mcclain, thanks for that live report. even as ukraine suffers a set back on the battle field. the country is all ready looking ahead towards its post war recovery. in the hours ahead, officials will gather in switzerland to hash out plans for rebuilding ukraine once the fighting ends, we've also learned that the uk plans to unveil a major aid package during that conference. it includes more than $1.5
11:11 pm
billion in loans and other funding. joining me now from kiev to discuss, kierra ruddick is a member of ukraine's parliament. russia is gaining significant ground in the east. in response, ukraine continues to request more weapons from the west. but now president zelensky will be requesting a different form of assistance at today's recovery conference. it might seem premature in the midst of thissen o going war and continued russian attacks. but what does president zelensky need to be asking for at this recovery con presence? >> first of all, we need to ask for the infrastructure rebuild. it needs to happen not after the war ends. not after the victory. it needs to happen right now. because in so many areas of ukraine, the infrastructure is destroyed and it affects lives of ukrainian citizens and it's
11:12 pm
not that you can say okay let's put it aside and go back to that after the war ends. because we are facing very, very complicated autumn and winter. and we need people to have their homes heated. we need people to be able to be transported. we need them to have water supplies, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera. and that president zelensky will be asking for. we need finances to be able to adjust our governmental work. and this is where i'm personally involved in terms of the digitalization. so one of the things we're facing as a country is many different logistical issues like we have many people who don't have documents. we have many children who lost their parents. we have many people who are applying for their humanitarian support without being registered any where because they don't have homes any more.
11:13 pm
for that we are asking support to continue the process of to the best of my knowledge tallization to make sure that we are able to adjust our processes to the needs of ukrainian people. third thing that he will be asking for is of course the support of ukrainian agricultural sector. you see right now that ukraine yawed to be one of the third suppliers of the world of grain, oil, tomatoes and corn. right now, when our ports are blocked. we need to figure out different logistical ways of delivering the results of our agricultural sector to people. for that we also need finances and it needs to happen right now. not after the war ends. >> and i do certainly understand that you need that money now. you need that support now. but when it comes to infrastructure, particularly the problem with that, of course, is the ongoing war,
11:14 pm
russian, possibly attacking anything that's rebuilt. so how do you convince nations that it's worth whew while at this juncture to invest money in infrastructure. >> we first are can convincing nations to provide us with air for protection that we need. since they one, we have been asking nations to close our skies. it did not happen. however, we are asking and we are provided with certain weapons that will allow us to protect our skies and make sure that certain territories of ukraine are safe wsm that we'll be able to ask for a rebuild of the infrastructure. because these processes need to to bare leal. you're absolutely right. it's very questionable to us people for the money approximate r rebuild. the rebuild can be destroyed any minute by russian rocket.
11:15 pm
but honestly everything in ukraine can be destroyed in minutes by russian rockets. for the air force protection systems to make sure there are places in my country that are safe. that not only we can rebuild there. but also for the people that they can come back there. that they can say okay, it's a safe place for us and our children to stay at. this is critically important. in today's conference as well it's pointing this out. saying look, we need a rebuild. we need your support. you all ready invested so much in us. let us protect what you have all ready invested at. >> just very quickly, ukraine has had problems with corruption. what is being done right now to add dress that issue? >> this is an one ongoing process with the -- they're pushing pushing towards very, very intensively. this is a list of the requirements from the euro
11:16 pm
commission on the candidacy stages. the corruption issue shot in unique with ukraine. we're fighting to make sure we're not going to lose the trust of people giving us money. and we're as transparent as possible. this is a fantastic chance for my country to kill this sneak of corruption that is definitely exists and make sure that we move forward in a better more transparent way. >> kierra ruddick thank you for joining us. >> thank you and glory to ukraine. >> we have learned china's president xi jinping had a potential brush with covid during his recent trip in hong kong. we'll have details and a live report from taipei. and what hard lessons learned from this pandemic can teach us in the fight against monkey pox. i'll speak with the doctor from

a hong kong lawmaker photographed near chinese president xi jinping fested positive for covid-19. president xi visited the city during the 25th anniversary of hong kong's hand over from britain to china. it was his first trip outside the mainland since the start of the pandemic. the person who tested positive says his test was negative on thursday when the photos were taken. cnn senior national correspondent will ripley joins me now live from taipei. what more are you learning about this covid scare for xi jinping. >> it shouldn't be unexpected for people handling xi jinping and enforcing this closed loop operation that hong kong spent weeks trying to prepare for to make sure nobody near him got covid. days ahead of the visit, two hong kong lawmakers tested positive for o vid. and then as you mentioned on
11:22 pm
the thursday photo session to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the hand over of hong kong from british rule to chinese rule, you had hong kong lawmakers who tested negative that day. had been driving back and forth to work in a private vehicle. spept the night before in a quarantined hotel. and was undergoing daily covid testing. all the stringent requirements of the closed loop that allows you to get close to xi jinping wearing mask mind you. on the following day, this lawmaker came back with a mild positive result. and then the next day was a full blown positive. it's entirely impractical. and it causes a great deal of hardship for people who have to een tour it.
11:23 pm
lock downs for a small number of cases. people not being able to carry out everyday tasks. like going to the hospital to get medication for her parents. she ended up getting charged and was physically roughed up all for the sake of president xi's demand that his country have a really unsustainable goal of zero covid. they have 1.5 billion people. less than 500 cases yesterday. but that's not good enough. they want to get to zero. with omicron, what experts say needs to happen is that people need to be vaccinated. particularly high-risk elderly people. that's where china falls short. >> you mentioned lock downs. there are more planned, aren't there? >> oh yeah you have a county in eastern china that has less than 300 cases. most of them are asymptomatic. they're now in full lock down.
11:24 pm
just like in wuhan at the beginning of the pandemic. it's the same general area where the pandemic is believed to have began. you have a city with less that 50 cases. post asymptomatic. and dine-in services at restaurants are suspended. the government telling people to work from home if possible. for a few dozen cases in a city well over a million people. fewer than 500 cases. 488 mostly symptomatic cases in a country of 1 ppt 5 billion people. and there are still millions of people living in lock down and other restrictions. it's truly baffling. but president xi is personally issuing these orders. because he commands near absolute power, this is how people's lives are being affective. >> will ripley joining us live
11:25 pm
from taipei. officials are growing more concerned with the ever increasing number of monkey pox cases. according to the cities for disease control and prevention, 60 probable or confirmed cases have been reported across 32 states. the biden administration announced the delivery of more vaccines as part of the nationwide strategy for preventing the this. the cdc reports there have been more than 5700 cases of monkey pox worldwide. and earlier, i spoke with dr. amish about the global spread of monkey pox. and i asked him what lessons from the covid-19 pandemic might prove useful as health officials deal with rise cases. >> the best lesson to take from covid-19 is that you need to be proactive with an infectious disease emergency to start to anticipate what's going to be the needs for public health agencies. and i fear that that lesson
11:26 pm
hasn't been learned because we are behind the eight ball when it comes to monkey pox. that we're not as proactive as we need to be to contain this as quickly as possible. >> so what more needs to be done at this juncture? where do things stand right now in terms of monkey pox vaccine production and distribution? >> well, you have to remember that the monkey pox vaccine is not something that is designed for monkey pox. it was designed for smallpox. it was something to be used during a biological weapons attack for smallpox. the vaccine we're using is one of the second generation vaccines. there's not much of it around. it was a secondary vaccine designed for smallpox. what we have is maybe a million or two million doses on hand for the world. and they are largely concentrated toward the united states. and i think what we have to figure out is what the optimal policy would be. vaccinate high-risk people and exposures or take care of the
11:27 pm
problem at its source and vaccinate in the endemic countries in africa so we don't have monkey pox growing and we control the problem at its root. if you're going to deal with monkey pox, it needs to be dealt with in africa first. still to come, why turkish authorities have reportedly detained a russian car foe ship. carrying thousands of tons of grain. we'll have that on the other side of the break, stay with us. you can instantly start saving on n your travels. lemons, lemons, lemons, look how nice they are. the moment you become an expedia member. you can instantly start saving on your travels. so you can go and see all those lovely lemony lemons.

welcome back everyone. in akron, ohio, the mayor and the police chief are both calling for calm after the release of disturbing body cam footage showing the fatal police shooting of a 25-year- old black man. akron's police chief says jaylen walker suffered 60 gunshot wounds citing a medical examiner's report. the release of the information comes a week after officers tried to stop walker for an alleged traffic violation. police say he led them on a car chase and fired a shot at them. here's some of the body cam footage released by akron police. >> 21 shots fired. that vehicle just had a shot come out of its door.
11:46 pm
>> police say walker eventually abandoned his car and a foot chase took place. during this chase, officers believed walker was reaching towards his waist and moving into a firing position. however, officers later discovered walker had left his gun in the car. and was unarmed when he was shot. akron's police chief says eight officers involved in this case are on paid administrative leave. while an independent investigation takes place. and we're also following reaction from jaylen walker's family through their attorneys. they held a news conference after the footage was released saying jaylen had never broken the law during his life. no crimes of any kind. the family also wants the public to give peace, give dignity, and give justice a chance for jaylen. while the police investigation is underway. while we wait for more
11:47 pm
information surrounding the shooting, law enforcement expert cheryl dorsey is among those raising concerns about the officers handling the case. take a listen. >> well, certainly the number in totality seems extreme. 60 shots but we know there were several officers who were pursuing mr. walker on foot. the question that begs to be asked and answered is how many rounds did each individual officer fire? so they're doing to have to speak to that. they're going to have to articulate what was the perception of threat and why was it necessary to fire however many rounds each officer fired. so while we hear the police chief say this could have potentially been a routine traffic stop, you understand an armed suspect wearing a ski mask is far from routine for officers who are conducting a traffic stop. >> law enforcement expert cheryl dorsey there. july 4th america's independence day has arrived
11:48 pm
and at a time when the country has rarely been so polarized. we're seeing those divisions play out as the states react to the supreme court over turning roe v wade while some are moving quickly to protect a woman's right to choose, others had trigger laws all ready on the books to ban abortion once the court acted. cnn's camilla banel looks at where things stand right now. >> every state is doing things differently. some of these trigger laws went into effect immediately while others are still taking time but restrictive abortion laws are in effect or will be very soon in states including arkansas, missouri, south dakota, wisconsin, and mississippi, abortion bans in wyoming, north dakota, idaho, tennessee, and texas are still pending, waiting on action by state officials. but in more than a dozen states, legal fights are underway over abortion bans and
11:49 pm
extreme limits on the procedure. some of these states include oklahoma, kentucky, louisiana, and utah. and finally, in addition to the trigger laws, a number of states have dissolved injunctions blocking enforcement of restreek conservative abortion laws. friday in texas the state supreme court partially granted a request by the attorney general to stay a lower court's order blocking a 91925 abortion ban. the court order allows for civil enforcement of the ban and then in contrast, you have other states like california, washington state, minnesota, and colorado where the right to an abortion is protected. i spoke to a woman who is from arkansas but she lives here in california. she had an abortion, she says she doesn't regret it but worries about her family in other states. here's what she told me. >> i thought of the young girls in my family who are 16, 15 -
11:50 pm
16, the teenagers in my family who still live in texas, they still live in arkansas. i thought of them and i reminded myself that i have not failed them until i decided to keep fighting and i'm going to keep fighting because it matters and it's important. >> reporter: and we've been in touch with activists here in california who say they will keep fighting for women in other states. and all of this while they also prepare for an influx of women seeking an abortion here in california. camilla bernell, cnn, los angeles. the u.s. house committee investigating the january 6 attack on the capitol is forging ahead making its case that responsibility for what happened that day goes straight to the top. former white house aide cassidy hutchinson delivered block buster testimony last week,
11:51 pm
remarkable moments include her accounts of a furious trump demanding to be taken to the capitol. and his clear understanding that some in the crowd were armed. cnn's zachary cohen looks at what other bombshells could lie ahead. >> reporter: the house select committee investigating the january 6th insurrection could make multiple criminal referrals, including one of former president donald trump. now, that is' what the panel's vice chair congresswoman liz cheney said in the interview on sunday where she made it clear that the committee may recommend that the justice department bring criminal charges against trump himself. take a listen to what she said on abc on sunday. >> so, did the committee will or will not make a criminal referral? >> we'll make a decision as a committee about it. >> it's possible there will be a criminal referral? >> yes. >> effectively the committee saying he should be prosecuted and this is the evidence -- >> the justice department doesn't have to wait for the committee to make a criminal referral. there could be more than one criminal referral.
11:52 pm
>> reporter: cheney's comments come days after explosive testimony from white house aide cassidy hutchinson. trump was angry because he couldn't go to the capitol on january 6. they promise to reveal even more evidence connecting trump to the violent attack that day. the committee's investigation also continues. congressman adam kinzinger, the other republican serving on the january 6 committee said on sunday witnesses have come forward since cassidy hutchinson's testimony last week. >> every day we get new people coming forward. hey, i didn't think this piece of a story i knew was important. but now that you guys -- i do see this plays in here. but, yeah, i mean, look, she is going to go down in history as -- i mean, people can forget the names of every one of us on the committee. they will not forget her name. by the way, she doesn't want that. she doesn't want to be put in the public spotlight. but she happens a commitment to truth. >> will we hear from witnesses you did not know about, with stories you did not hear because
11:53 pm
of the hearing so far? >> yes, yes, there will be -- there is, there will be way more information, and stay tuned. >> reporter: now, kinzinger and other members of the committee have been reluctant to offer additional details about the new witnesses, and new revelations that could come out in future hearings. it's clear the panel is continuing to make the case there is one man who bears overwhelming responsibility for the january 6 attack, and that man is donald trump. zachary cohen, cnn, washington. well, as we mentioned, it is independence day here in the united states. usually a day of fun in the sun, but heavy rainfall and storms might dampen the celebrations for many. cnn meteorologist derek van dam joins us now. happy july 4th to you. so, what conditions, what do they look like for most americans on this day? >> rosemary, timing is everything. with the independence day forecast, especially for people who want to go out and enjoy fireworks late in the evening
11:54 pm
