mass demonstrations. plus voting is underway in japan the country reels from the assassination of his longest- serving leader. a brutal summer hot spell continues with 39 million americans on alert. the sri lankan president and prime minister say they will resign after tens of thousands of protesters stormed the residences of both leaders as the seemingly endless economic crisis boils over. a short time ago four cabinet members also resigned.[ clip playing ] >> demonstrators broke through police barricades to reach the presidential palace calling for
2:02 am
the president to leave office. they also set fire to the prime minister's private residence. his office says he was moved earlier to a secure location. here is a look inside of the presidents home as protesters pushed their way in. meanwhile, the prime minister endorsed the establishment and appealed for calm after speaking to the president. >> translator: he informed me to tell the country he will resign on wednesday to ensure a peaceful handover of power. therefore, there is no need to destabilize the country any longer. our spec request for the cooperation of everyone on behalf of the country, and for the country's future in order to maintain peace. >> the protesters got what they wanted in a sense, the two top leaders are gone. what now?
2:03 am
>> what they want is to be able to live and to eat and have enough fuel to get to work and have medicine if someone gets sick. those are things that are missing that are in dire shortage right now because of the worst financial crisis since world war ii. these people, 100,000 of them who stormed the presidents house blame the president. they blame his brother who was a previous president. he is ruling elite that and police say made a lot of financial decisions while they themselves are living large. one of the more striking images is when the president start swimming in the pool at the presidents house. it is the perfect example of people living the high life at the top while people at the bottom are really struggling just to get by. that is what has field anger. protesters say it new leadership gets in place they have to deliver. that would not be easy when you think about the problems sri lanka is facing.
2:04 am
not enough fuel or medicine, but there is one thing in sri lanka that is not in short supply, anger. crowds reached a boiling point saturday after months of demonstrations in the country's worst economic and political crisis. throngs of protesters stormed the presidential residence, demanding the president resign. >> to have a new era for sri lanka. also, i feel very sad they did in earlier. had they gone earlier that would not have been distraction. >> reporter: under pressure from the streets and party leadership the resident informed the speaker of parliament he will step down on wednesday. the speaker made the decision to the nation, asking protesters to return to their homes.
2:05 am
there is no need to destabilize the country any longer. adding, he respectfully requests the cooperation of everyone and for the country's future in order to maintain peace. a piece shattered by the biggest and demonstrations yet that included the burning of the home of the country's prime minister. he too says he is willing to step down to make way for an all party government. home to some 22 million sri lanka is witnessing its worst natural crisis in seven decades. a severe foreign-exchange crunch bringing the country to its knees. there have been long winding cues for fuel now limited to only essential services. power cuts have been relentless. analysts say the current crisis is a result of poor economic decisions over the years by the government. under the sri lankan constitution at both president
2:06 am
and prime minister resigned the speaker of parliament will serve as acting president in a maximum of 30 days in which time parliament will elect a new president from one of its members. it will be a sweeping change for sri lanka, largely brought about by its own people. many who have nothing left to lose. it is not just the current financial crisis because necessarily financial mismanagement. sri lanka has been hit by a series of events over the last couple of years. i think back to 2019, just as that tourism industry was stabilizing you have horrific bombings that specifically target hotels. that took a huge bite out of tourism. just as they were rebounding the covid-19 pandemic happens. just as they are starting to normalize from covid they have a cargo ship catch fire that spews plastic pellets all over their beaches. it has been a tough go for it
2:07 am
should, the tourism industry, and now even the country itself could run out of money, fuel, and food if something is not done. step one at least a new government seems to be taking shape. >> thank you so much for your analysis. last hour i spoke with a journalist who has coverage for decades. she told me the country is grappling with its worst financial crisis in years and years it will grow even more dire. >> it is terrible. i was reporting live in may. it was bad already. there were people waiting in- line to reach drivers. there was simply no gasoline and no cooking gas. there were people waiting in long lines that sometimes stretched three or four commoners.
2:08 am
on an average people waited for about two days. now people are waiting for 5 and six days. schools have been shut for the past two weeks. there is no likelihood of reopening. kids are sitting around waiting for school buses that will never arrive because there is no gasoline. the anger has build onto the streets and the protests that were relatively peaceful have now turned and you're seeing what you're seeing. they can no longer wait. there is an element of aggression. i am afraid if that continues sri lanka is likely to see great repercussions like the armed forces coming out on the streets just to control the crowd. parliamentary elections underway in japan two days after former prime minister shinzo abe was really gun down in broad daylight. at stake are 125 seats in the

2:10 am
characteristics of a man determined to assassinate the former prime minister. according to nhk the 41-year- old consider carrying out the crime a day over and a campaign event, but decided against it because he was looking for a space that was less guarded. also reporting the suspect told police he originally planned to kill abe using explosives before deciding to use the home a gun. in the end shinzo abe shot twice from several feet away while delivering a speech ahead of today's upper house election. >> obviously in the wake of all of this the security situation has been called into question. what has been the fallout? >> in the days to follow many questions have been raised about the former prime minister security and the chief of police says he cannot deny that
2:11 am
there were problems and that he takes responsibility for the failures that led to the killing. according to nhk a plan was put in place involving many plainclothes officers and security personnel on site at the time, but did not identify anyone suspicious, overreacting after two shots were fired, those two fatal shots. at this point the national police agency will review the security arrangements for the former prime minister to prevent a similar situation from ever happening again. thank you so much. we want to tell you about news just coming in. at least 14 people have been killed in a mass shooting in south africa's biggest township. another 11 injured and rushed to a nearby hospital. police say gunmen stormed into

the justice department has released troubling new details about the january 6 attack on the capital and the extensive planning by a right wing extremist group, the oath keepers. at least three chapters held training camps focused on military tactics. one member allegedly had a hand written document headlining debt list, and included a georgia election official and the names of the family members. the revelations come hours after the testimony of passive baloney. a spokesman says he provided a great deal of new information and critical testimony. >> donald trumps white house

counsel pat cipollone spent more than seven hours testifying to the january 6th select committee. that in its own right was a real breakthrough. he had resisted doing a formal deposition for more than a year . he finally agreed to testify recently after a series of damaging revelations at previous public hearings. throughout his tenure as white house counsel pat cipollone often found himself pushing back against the more extreme members of donald trumps orbit. he was a first-hand witness to several of the make or break moments for american democracy. for instance, pat cipollone was there when some of trumps outside advisors raise the idea of declaring martial law. he was there when some advisors encouraged him to use the military to seize voting machines. pat cipollone was there when trump nearly appointed a well

known conspiracy theories to look for unhinged voter fraud theories. perhaps most importantly, pat cipollone was in the white house on january 6 . as previous witnesses have testified about his desperate efforts to stop trump from marching to the capital. he also warned others that they would have blood on their hands if trump did not intervene during the violent insurrection. now, his deposition was videotaped and the committee will get its first chance on tuesday to publicly release some of the footage. tuesday's hearing is expected to focus on the far right extremist groups that were a huge part of trumps efforts to overturn the election. the oath keepers, the proud boys, the three presenters, many of their members of the capital on january 6, some have been charged with sedition, an

-- struck by a russian rocket. officials say more people are believed to be trapped in the rubble. scott maclean is monitoring developments and joins us now from kyiv. the death toll seems to be growing. what more can you tell us? >> reporter: and it may grow yet still. the latest word that we have is from the local governor who says he believes there were two or three missiles fired in the direction of that building, and that at least two were a direct hit on the building itself. they say they have pulled out 10 bodies from the rubble. there are at least 10 people confirmed killed. they also say they have managed to pull five people out alive with very levels of injury. the new pictures that we have from the scene provided to us by the local authorities are pretty grim. you can see part of the building looks like it has been
2:28 am
entirely levels, just reduced to a polyp rubble. it is difficult to get a sense of how big the original building was. that is how much has been destroyed. you can also see rescuers are trying to get underneath the debris pile to reach anyone who might be under there. in this video there is a soldier that explains they have been hearing voices from underneath the pile of rubble. based on their assessment of how many voices there are, they figure there are about 30 people still trapped. looking at the pictures it is difficult to imagine that anyone could've possibly survived. the soldier says the force was so intense it blew out the windows of the neighboring building, and perhaps one witness also provided an explanation for why part of the building seemed to collapse. that is, she says, that the missiles or one of the rockets hit the lower part of the
2:29 am
building, perhaps destabilizing the upper floors. i should give you a bit of context. this is a town where the russians have really been focusing efforts over the last couple of days, even before this strike on this apartment building. they claim to have hit earlier in the day a hanger. these are, use artillery systems. they also say they hit an area where there were 30 ukrainian soldiers who had been firing toward the russian side amongst the civilian areas. the russian explanation very likely is going to be that there were soldiers in that area . that this was a military target. the ukrainians said this was not a hanger or warehouse. they said that it was a train station that they hit. >> turning to the wider situation across the country, what areas are you keeping your eye on? >> reporter: the battle is the
2:30 am
russians big target right now and that is where we've seen this strike. the movement along the front lines isn't very much. the russians are resorting to this familiar tactic of bombing and shelling the towns and villages on the other side in hopes of flattening what ever they can to be able to eventually move forward. similarly in the northern part of the country there has not been hardly any movement on the front lines. the ukrainians claim the russians are trying to prevent them from retaking land. instead, what they are dealing with this constant shelling, the missile attack yesterday inside of the actual city. there are no signs of the front lines will move anytime soon. in the southern part of the country this is where the ukrainians actually believe they can make progress. the city has been officially a
2:31 am
brick wall for the russians. they have not been able to get even close to taking the city and moving beyond it toward odessa. the ukrainians are taking advantage of the fact that is a real stronghold for them. they are trying to launch their own offensive to take back more land toward the russian occupied city. that is where we are starting to see fighting really intensified in recent days. >> thank you so much, scott. appreciate that. as scott just mentioned six missiles hit the city earlier on saturday, striking residential homes and businesses. we wanted to show you this huge crater where one missile apparently fell, tearing the building to pieces. as we just reported, ukrainians are hitting back and a military target about 50 miles to the southeast. ukraine says it will russian military stockpiles in the airport while in the northeast. [ clip playing ]
2:32 am
>> as you heard scott mentioned ukraine says that was the moment russian missiles slammed in saturday injuring at least four people. ukrainians have pushed russians away, but russian artillery attacks have increased. a cnn crew was at the scene right after that missile strike. >> reporter: this is what it looks and feels like these days to live in the ukrainian second the city. it was a beautiful saturday morning here until 10:00 when the sound of a huge explosion tore across the city. this is where that russian strike happened. look at the size of this missile strike. it left a huge crater in one of the most central areas of the city. this is one of the most central strikes in recent weeks. we are in the inside courtyard of a two story residential building. the fourth taking down the two floors of that house right there. we are told by a neighbor that
2:33 am
the family that lived there thankfully had left and now live in germany. the authorities are saying no one was killed in the strike. there are several wounded. one of them was a woman who lives right over there. she was caught under the rubble. she actually called her daughter from under that rubble for she was taken away by rescuers to the hospital. we met her daughter when we got to the scene. she was understandably very troubled. she was on the phone with her mother and picking up things to take to the hospital like her wheelchair, some close, and her pet bird. this is just one example of the kinds of attacks that are falling all across ukraine. we have seen a significant spike in the shelling in the southern cities where there is heavy fighting between the russian-ukrainian sides. just south of us, where we are expecting the russians to make a major push in the near future
2:34 am
there has been a real uptick in the russian attacks there. we are told by local authorities that at least five people were killed today in those russian strikes in the eastern providence. the world might be done with covid-19, but it is certainly not done with us. the covid variants in canada and the us. . stay with us. for ththat one-of-a-kind whoa... ...which leavess you feeling... ahhhhhhh listerine. feel the whoa!

>> reporter: at the coronavirus price we can expect to see more variants and sub- variants like ba-5. it is causing more than half of covid-19 infections here in the us. other sub- variants circulating right now are ba-2 and , ba-2. these are circulating at a time when nearly a third of the us population lives in a county with covid-19 committee levels that the cdc considers to be high. those counties with a high level are spread across many major us regions like new york city, houston harris county, miami-dade county, and las vegas is clark county. even though our lives are returning to normal, this is
2:39 am
just a reminder that the virus is still out there. >> was so many americans living in high cove counties the cdc says people in those areas should be wearing a mask indoors. the agency is warning official case counts no longer represent the true level of committee transmission. >> reporter: it is shaping up to be the summer of sub- variants , particularly ba-5 and ba-4, among those vaccinated, hosted, and those who have recovered. officials continue to reiterate getting vaccinated and boosted remains the best way of protecting yourself. it hasn't really slowed infections. about 2% of americans living with high covid-19 committee levels right now. that is the same as what we saw
2:40 am
last week. at the same time it is higher than the 23% that we have seen a couple of weeks ago. here in new york city the positivity rates about 14%. a significant increase that has worried officials to a point that on friday they issued a recommendation for people that they once again continue to use those high-grade masks, especially in endure public spaces and crowded spaces as well. >> our goal is to make sure whatever we put in place will stem the infections, keep down hospitalizations, and keep dumbbells who will die from covid. >> reporter: the mayor added in spite of the recent increase the city is currently in a good and stable place when it comes to continuing on the road to reestablishing the pre-pandemic norms. in terms of
2:41 am
hospitalizations, a key statistic used to gauge where we are, it is still not overwhelming hospital throughout the country. many states have noted a slight increase in the last couple of weeks. canadian researchers at western university say they have identified for the first time the cause of them long covid symptoms. the use of mri technology combined with inhaled gas allowed researchers to see some symptoms are related to microscopic abnormalities that affect how oxygen is exchanged from the lungs to read blood cells. it is characterized by the feeling of rainfall, restlessness, fatigue, and limited capacity to do normal day-to-day things. symptoms can last weeks or months following initial infection. joining me now is dr. michael nicolas, a restaurant just and
2:42 am
professor at western university who contributed to the study. thank you for being here. your study is the first to show a potential cause of these long covid symptoms. how did you get the idea to use the technique that you did to isolate the cause? >> that is a good question. we've seen this technology used in other lung disease. we were hitting a bit of a wall with regular testing therapeutics. we got together with our research team and actually suggested this as an option to have a better look and a different look at the areas of the long that might be missed on regular stance available to us. >> explained to us what is going on physically? >> at the very smallest part of the long where the oxygen crosses over from the airway into the blood vessel we are seeing some abnormalities around the blood vessel that might be the true issue that is coming up with people having shortness of breath, and
2:43 am
obviously feeling the inability to do something as simple as walking or exercising. we are not exactly sure what the mechanism is. we see the optimality. i think that is the nice part, to finally identify something that is abnormal that will allow us to continue to look for the actual underlying cause. >> that is important, right? the study was small, but suggests there is a way to maybe in the future treat the symptoms that are affecting a growing number of people. >> that is it. we are seeing this happening in other organ systems. i think that is important to note, that there is something identified. we are finally seeing something turned up, now we can focus on the underlying mechanism and potentially therapeutic options. >> how much of a relief was it
2:44 am
to the patients to hear that there was a physical cause, that it wasn't just all in their head? >> i think that was the largest thing. to really give some satisfaction and some reassurance to the patients that this was not just a mental thing. there was some physical out mentality that i think will speak volumes. it will again potentially allow the next step of scientific research into what is causing it and other organ systems maybe the brain, the bowels, that is really important going forward. >> all of this could not come at a better time because of two things, as i outlined before we are seeing a huge rise in cases in many places, including states here in the us. secondly, because of these new sub variants. people seem to be
2:45 am
getting reinfected. a new study suggests if you get covid multiple times you have a greater chance of suffering long covid symptoms. earlier this morning we spoke to a lead researcher of the study. here he is, listen in. >> it is compellingly clear that it contributes to long covid. what worries me is some of the manifestations are not only chronic conditions that will last with people for a lifetime. >> all of it underscores the importance of finding treatment if more people are going to suffer. also, prevention at a time when all but a few restrictions have been dropped. >> that is it, i think really trying to get her out the cause and then trying to prevent it will be essentially monumental. the concern is are we going to see more more of this because we are seeing more and more infections? >> thank you so much for being with us. best of luck as you continue to find hopefully more information
2:46 am
on this condition that is affecting so many people around the world. dr. michael nicholson, thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. parts of the us altering in excessive heat. we will have details after the break. stay with us. tomach, i get powerful, effective and safe relief. salonpas. it's good medicine.
