regeneration and renewal. but one thing that won't change here is that, at the home of a cumpari, the door is always open and you are always welcome to join the feast. hello and welcome to our viewers joining us from the united states and all around the world. a mysterious explosion on russia's bridge to crimea deals a blow to the war effort and has ukraine mocking the kremlin for its losses. gang violence and a cholera outbreak, just two of the crises pus pushing kyiv to the brink of humanitarian disaster. why the president wants armed intervention from the international community. tropical storm julia strengthens into a category 1

hurricane over the caribbean. we're live at the scene and with the forecast. we begin in ukraine where, for the second time within days, the city of zaporizhzhia is taking a deadly pounding from russian rockets. these are scenes of chaos after multiple rockets slammed into residential areas on saturday, reportedly killing at least 17 people. while further south, moscow is scrambling to get the bridge linking the occupied crimea with russia back up and running. a part of the bridge collapsed after a huge explosion and fire on saturday. now russia says repair work will be under way around the clock. some train and road traffic has already resumed, but drivers

will go into the water -- divers, rather, will go into the water later today to see if the structure can still support trucks. scott mclean is keeping an eye on developments in ukraine including the deadly strike on zaporizhzhia. he joins us from london, scott? >> reporter: yeah, we don't have a ton of information about those rocket strikes, but we do have that video which shows a pretty chaotic scene in the yeed mat aftermath. there was rubble still very much on fire. what's extraordinary about this video is the massive hole that you can see that has been punched in the side, right through that actual apartment building. local officials say, as you mentioned, at least 17 dead by the latest count. 40 injured. obviously those numbers may change as we get more information. five houses they say were completely destroyed as well as this apartment building which was very nearly completely destroyed. there is so much rubble on that scene, laila, that the acting mayor is actually calling for people to come to help clear it

because it's too much for the emergency services to do on their own. they're hoping if they can clear it quickly enough, they might actually be able to find some survivors. the head of the local regional military administration says that eight people have been rescued already. he also claims there were a total of 12 missiles that were fired at the city. what's not clear is how many landed, how many of them might have been shot down, how many actually hit their intended target. it is also very unclear what the intended target might actually have been, since this looks like it was very much a residential neighborhood. similarly, just two days ago, there was another attack. you're seeing pictures of the aftermath here. also in zaporizhzhia. this one on a four-story apartment building that killed at least 11 people. again, very unclear as to what exactly the military target may have been. now, the zaporizhzhia region, it is significant because it is one of the four regions that the russians have officially annexed. the difficulty is that they only

partially control all four of those regions after the referenda that the west announced as a sham. attacks like this seem to indicate the russians are looking to take more territory. the difficulty is that they are lacking manpower. even one pro-russian military correspondent said earlier this week, look, it could be two months before the russians actually have the manpower at the front lines in order to push the front lines forward. for now it seems they are content to lob missiles deeper into ukrainian territory, laila. >> scott mclean recording, thank you. people in crimea are already feeling the pain from that bridge explosion. specifically, a long traffic jam that clogged the working section of the bridge. the structure is not only a key traffic artery for the peninsula but also, it's a logistical lifeline for russian troops in southern ukraine. for russian president vladimir putin, it's a pet project, a

symbol of his desire to bind ukraine and moscow. and as frederick pleitgen reports, the blast has a ripple effect on both military and litical fronts. >> reporter: a devastating voe to vladimir putin's war effort in ukraine, both strategically and symbolically. the kerch bridge that links russia's mainland with occupied crimea, on fire, heavily damaged. moscow's investigative committee acknowledging the severity of the attack. >> translator: according to preliminary information, a truck exploded on the automobile part of the crimean bridge from the side of the peninsula in the morning today. which caused seven fuel tanks to ignite on a train heading towards the crimean peninsula. as a result, two lanes partially collapsed. >> reporter: this cctv video appears to show the moment of the blast. a truck is seen driving on the lane leading towards crimea, when all of a sudden there's a massive explosion, though it's

not clear whether it is the truck that actually blew up. russian officials saying several people were killed in the attack. moscow already pointing the finger at ukraine, but so far, no claim of responsibility from kyiv's leadership. crimea, the bridge, the beginning. everything illegal must be destroyed, everything stolen must be returned to ukraine, everything occupied by russia must be expelled, an adviser to ukraine's president tweeted. russian authorities say fuel and food supplies to crimea are ensured, videos released on social media show long lines forming at gas stations on the peninsula just hours after the blast. the crimean bridge is a vital supply artery for russian forces fighting in ukraine, but also a prestige project for russian president vladimir putin. putin personally drove a truck across the bridge when it was opened in 2018. the attack came just a day after putin's 70th birthday, leading

ukraine's national security adviser to tweet this video apparently mocking russia's leader. ♪ happy birthday mr. president ♪ >> reporter: ukraine's postal service was quick to issue a stamp commemorating the bridge explosion. residents in the capital taking selfies in front of the main post office. >> translator: we have waited for the moment the bridge burns. i think all ukrainians waited for it. and we are very satisfied it's finally happened. >> reporter: moscow says it got the railway section of the bridge up and running again quickly, but the damage to the road section is more extensive, creating another bottleneck for russian forces in southern ukraine already struggling with logistics. >> for more analysis of how the bridge explosion could impact russia's war effort, we're joined by military analyst malcolm davis. he's with the australian

strategic policy institute and he joins us from canberra. thank you for your time. how is this explosion affecting russian operations in the area? >> thanks, laila. look, i think what you're going to see is great pressure on the russian logistics network, essentially by attacking this bridge, they have certainly reduced the ability of the russians to supply crimea. and they've also demonstrated essentially that the bridge is vulnerable, particularly as the ukrainian forces advance around kherson, they can bring in systems such as himars to attack the bridge again, potentially collapse the thing entirely. the russians i think will be likely to move forces from the donbas to the south to try and protect that bridge and protect the supply lines around mariupol. because if they lose those two ground lines of communication, then the ability of the russians to defend the whole crimea comes into question. that really would be the ultimate prize after the

ukrainians take kherson. >> how might this have happened? >> look, i think, you know -- i've seen the videos of supposedly the truck coming up onto the bridge and then the massive explosion. i'm not convinced it was a truck bomb. for starters, i don't believe the ukrainians do suicide attacks. secondly, the truck looks too small to generate a blast of that size. there's some discussion within the strategic policy community on social media that it could have been some sort of explosion coming from underneath, perhaps from some sort of vessel in the water. but even that is uncertain. so it could be sabotage, it could be special forces. really hard to say how it happened. >> what does the blast on this crimean bridge do for ukraine and its momentum? >> i think it really does provide a huge boost for the ukrainian morale, which is already very good after a series of advances around the donbas area and also customer season.

i think, as i said, it places increased pressure on russian ground lines of communication, the logistical network. and the russians will be desperate to try and defend that. because if they can't defend that network, then their ability to hold their positions in ukraine just come apart at the seams. so it gives the ukrainians, i think, added opportunity to press home the advantage, eidner the donbas or in the south around kherson, ultimately toward crimea. it sets up an end game where the ukrainians eject russia from the area, eventually donbas and donetsk. >> russia appointed a new general to lead the war against ukraine. does this solve russia's problems on the battlefield? >> no. essentially, another new general doesn't do anything. i think russia's problems are essentially unsolvable because what they have is their forces

are now poorly equipped, poorly trained. those professional forces that are left are not enough to haul back the ukrainians, the mass mobilization that putin has ordered isn't going well and won't produce enough trained and motivated fighting troops in the northern spring to be able to reverse the ukrainian advances. so i do think that the russians are staring defeat in the face. the question is how long does that take to happen? is it going to be by christmas? or is it more likely to be by the northern summer? >> of course the question is, can the ukrainian troops continue this offensive, how far can they continue? of course, winter, well, it's almost impending. it's about to start. it's going to be a tough one. >> exactly. i think winter will slow things down quite a bit. but the ukrainians will use that to reconstitute their forces, regroup, to bring in new military capabilities supplied by the west, potentially

including longer-range missile systems, also main battle tanks. the russians, on the other hand, i think are going to be desperate. they're not going to be able to reposition and regroup their forces sufficiently subpoena when the spring thaw happens, they're not going to be well-placed to defend against any ukrainian offenses that launch at that point. >> malcolm davis, thank you so much for your time. >> my pleasure. cnn sources say top biden administration officials met face-to-face saturday with members of the taliban in doha, qatar. the white house has called the delicate relationship a work in progress. it was the first sit-down meeting for both sides since the man al qaeda leader amman wau hiddy was killed by drone strike. the biden administration said he had been sheltering in a safe house in kabul and blame the taliban by violating an agreement by hosting the al qaeda leader.

it has been more than a year since the u.s. withdrew the last of its troops in afghanistan resulting in the taliban regaining control of the country. a show of defiance in iran. a group of women denounces the country's president even as his government threatens to crack down further on dissent. we'll have the latest on the uprising there. plus people in central america are bracing for hurricane julia's landfall. where the enormous storm is targeting. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a a multitasker supportiting 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keepep me sharp. neuriva: think bigger

[ chanting in non-english ] you're looking at a group of iranian women denouncing the nation's president, telling him to, quote, get lost. it happened at a university in tehran which the president visited on saturday amid nationwide protests against the government. the uprising is now in its fourth week. it began after mahsa aninny, a 22-year-old iranian woman, died in the custody of the morality police. since then it has grown into a large movement against authoritarianism and is denial of women's rights. cnn's nad debashir joins us with more. bring us up to speed on the

protests we're seeing. >> reporter: those brave acts of defiance are continuing up and down the country. we have over the weekend in iran continued to see demonstrations taking place across the country, but of course, in response to that we are also continuing to see that violent and deadly crackdown by the iranian security forces, particularly as we saw over the weekend in the kurdish region of iran. we saw at least two people now being killed, according to human rights groups, by the iranian security forces after they sat peaceful protesters, shot at peaceful protesters, going into people's houses, targeting houses, attacking protesters where they are attempting to take shelter. violent crackdown continues. we've heard from human rights organizations detailing the use of excessive and lethal force by the iranian security forces. we're talking about tear gas, metal pellets, beatings, even

the use of live fire ammunition against these peaceful demonstrators. while the death toll varies from government figures, from international human rights groups, from local journalists on the ground, we can't independently verify that total figure. we have heard from one human rights organization based in norway which has been tallying the death toll since these demonstrations began three weeks ago. they take that figure at at least 154 deaths and hundreds of others injured. this is a movement that has grown, but of course that crackdown is also beginning to intensify. and although, as you saw there in that video, women continue to be at the forefront of the this movement, demanding more rights, acting in defiance against the restrictive and severe measures against women in place by the iranian regime, this has grown to encompass more wide-reaching grievances held bit iranian

people. this is continuing to gain momentum. >> neda ba rear reporting, thank you so much. one of iran's state procasters appears to have been hacked. the government was airing a speech by the supreme leader there. you see there, suddenly the broadcast is interrupted by a video of a masked figure and a graphic of the leader with a target on his head. the video also showed images of several iranian women whose recent deaths have fueled the protests. we're tracking a powerful weather system barreling towards central america. hurricane julia is expected to strengthen before making landfall in nicaragua over the coming hours. julia will bring heavy rain to much of the region and life-threatening flash floods and mudslides are possible. cnn meteorologist britley ritz joins us with the latest developments. >> we are noticing that strengthening. in fact, as of the latest

advisory from the national hurricane center, julia now has winds of 85 miles per hour around the center, which by the way is coming awfully close to landfall this hour. it's less than 45 miles from blue fields, nicaragua's, coastline. it's expected to move inland, west at 16 miles per hour. as it hits the mountain chain, the cord ajera mountain chain, roughly 2,500 feet tall, it's going to cause this to weaken. the land shreds it. so it turns it to a tropical storm as it pushes south of el salvador coming into monday morning. we have hurricane warnings still in effect. we're already experiencing hurricane-force wind gusts on the coastline of nicaragua. on the west coast of nicaragua, up into el salvador, now we have tropical storm warnings in effect. that onshore flow not only causing storm surge, but again, likely power outages and a lot

of trees that could potentially fall with hurricane-force winds 74 plus miles per hour. onshore flow coming into monday morning rolling into el sa salvador, and winds will significantly die down into the following week. heavy rain, one of the bigger concerns as it moves inland through the higher elevations. a lot of that rain picking up 6 to 10 inches through the mountain chain of nicaragua and honduras, el salvador. mudslides, life-threatening flooding. not a good situation there. taking you back to what caused devastation through southwest florida, hurricane ian. the rainfall is lessened. this morning, a lot of it on the east coast, pushing into parts of broward county and miami-dade. this will redevelop throughout the afternoon hours, and you'll see that here. the reds, oranges indicating the heavier rain, where some of us could pick up an additional 3 to

4 inches of rain on top of the 10 to 20 inch with received with ian. more rain is the last thing florida residents need after many of them were kicked out of their homes by hurricane ian. now for the first time in more than a week, people from fort myers beach are being allowed to return today to survey the damage hurricane ian has left. city officials say residents need to bring identification proving they own or live in the area. they must be prepared to leave by the 7:00 p.m. curfew. as of now, fort myers is without running water or power. new york city's mayor has declared a state of emergency to help respond to an influx of asylum seekers. eric adams says southern border states like texas have bussed more than 17,000 asylum seekers to new york since april. adams says there are more people arriving in new york than the city can immediately accommodate, including families with babies and young children.

>> our shelter system is now operating near 100% capacity. and if these trends continue, we will be over 100,000 in the year to come. that's far more than the system was ever designed to handle. this is unsustainable. >> cnn's polo sandoval has more from new york. >> reporter: new york city mayor eric adams calling on the federal government to assist the city in responding to the growing number of asylum seekers arriving in the big apple. mayor eric adams specifically calling on the federal government to assist in at least two ways. one, provide funding as the mayor fears that the city will have spent roughly $1 billion in handling this crisis. and also in providing expedited work authorization for these asylum seekers that have arrived in new york city, with over half

a dozen buses arriving every day. the mayor says that they are coming in at a number that is simply not sustainable. mayor adams saying while the city's compassion is limitless when it comes to receiver asylum seekers, that the resources are not. over 17,000 asylum seekers as of friday have arrived in new york city. the issue is many are yet to receive their work authorization from the federal government, due largely in part to a massive backlog of applications. that's why many of these migrants are now choosing to travel to the state of florida to assist in post-hurricane ian cleanup and recovery. and that is certainly something that asylum advocates in new york city are aware of, that that's a practice or that they are basically trying to educate these migrants, making sure they're aware if they do take up these opportunities in florida, then they know they at least have various rights that still

apply even if they're working off the books. back in new york, city officials saying that they will continue to take various steps to try to get a handle on the situation, including setting up humanitarian relief centers for these migrants. also expediting the process of getting homeless new yorkers into perm nernt housing. the goal would be to free up space in the city's shelter system for those numbers of migrants that continue to come into the city. the u.s. is considering how to answer haiti's cry for help. this as anti-government protests threaten the caribbean nation's security.

♪ welcome back to our viewers all around the world. i'm the chaotic situation in haiti continues to deteriorate as the country struggles through crisis after crisis. saturday the u.s. said it's reviewing haiti's request for international intervention after the haitian government asked for military help this week to restore security in the country. security has been steadily deteriorating since the assassination of president jovenel maurice in july last year, leaving a power vacuum and room for gangs to gain more control of haiti. the gangs' blockade of the country's main fuel ports and weeks of anti-government protests have paralyzes the country, crippling public transportation, forcing schools, businesses, and hospitals to close which couldn't come at a worse time. cholera outbreak takes hold with

dozens more cases identified this week. now a human rights group based in port-au-prince is reporting at least 25 prisoners died this week inside the national penitentiary. with one prisoner there telling cnn the facility is "hell on earth." for more on what's happening in haiti, let's turn now to jacqueline charles. she's the caribbean correspondent for "the miami herald" and she has reported extensively on haiti. jacqueline, thank you so much for joining us. very volatile situation in haiti. describe for us what is going on there and what led to this moment. >> reporter: you know, this moment has been in the making for quite some time. it didn't happen just because the president was assassinated a year ago in july. haiti has been on a downward spiral for a number of years. but this particular case with this crisis, what we saw was after the prime minister announced that they would be raising the price of fuel, people took to the streets.

and that just sort of ignited frustrations that had already been building as a result of higher food prices, an economy that's in shambles, the uncertainty, of course the gang violence along with the kidnappings. where we are today is that we have a cholera outbreak, a deadly cholera outbreak. it's unclear whether or not it has spread beyond the capital of port-au-prince. we're hearing reports that it may now be in the prisons. at the same time, we are entering week five where a very powerful gang has basically been holding the country hostage by blocking fuel distributions from the main terminal as well as all traffic in and out to any of the ports. so what that means, there's no potable water. people are running out of fuel. everything has ground to a halt. hospitals are closing. you're looking at a country slipping deeper and deeper into a humanitarian crisis. >> jacqueline, how are haitians holding up in the face of these types of hardships?

>> it's very difficult. we've seen widespread protests throughout the country. of course, there is a popular revolt in the sense that people are tired. but at the same time, a lot of these protests have been very violent. what we're hearing from the international community that is there are economic interests that have joined in because they don't like the fact that the government has decided to reduce $400 million in fuel subsidies, as well as crack down on $600 million in lost revenue at the ports as well as illegal arms trafficking. there is a u.s. arms embargo against guns into haiti, but yet the place is flush with illegal weapons and ammunition. and over the summer we saw there was major seizures that were done, one of which was over 14,000 of ammunition that was headed to the capital. it's a very confusing and chaotic situation that you have there. and at the same time, what's next? just when people think that

things can't get any worse, they do. >> now, haiti's prime minister wants an armed international force to intervene and restore security. what do we know exactly about the kind of help that he is asking for? and just how extraordinary is this request? >> well, there has been some talk over a week about the need for a humanitarian corridor, which basically means that in order for the international community, united nations for instance, to provide any kind of assistance, it's going to require some sort of armed escort. fromup facilities, warehouses, world food programs, several of their warehouses have been looted, ransacked. charities, just when the u.n., head of the humanitarian sector was speaking to journalists thursday of this week, a unicef warehouse in the southwest was being looted. it is a very volatile situation. you say, if i need to get to

people, after experiencing cholera in 2010 this spreads like wildfire. there's so many places you cannot go by road because of the gangs. so the idea, what we understand it to be, that the government needs assistance. humanitarian partners in haiti need assistance in order to get the aid. what will it look like? we're not clear. in the edition that was taken by the council of ministers, it said significant enough to cover the territory, and they did not specify when countries or how it should be -- how it should look. basically, specialized armed forces. >> the issue of foreign troops is very sensitive in haiti. what has the reaction to the prime minister's request for international intervention been publicly and politically? >> reporter: this is a prime minister that's embattled, a prime minister people are not very happy with. he was not put in by a sort of

popular mandate. he has been tapped by the president prior to his situation. it became publicly known just days before the assassination of the late president. so there, there was a power struggle for him to come into office. i think from there, that basically set up the problem. so even today, people who privately agree that there should be -- there needs to be some international force, you hear them on the radio, they're opposing it because it is dr. ellerry is asking for it today. he's detractors are saying, you're doing this in order to remain in power. the reality on the ground, haitian police have not been able to take back control of this country from the gangs. people have been complaining about the situation. what we haven't really heard is the average haitian on the ground, which i think you will find they are in favor of some sort of outside assistance because they cannot take it anymore. >> jacqueline charles, caribbean correspondent for "the miami herald," thank you for taking

our questions. >> thanks for having me. new details now about the suspect in thursday's mass murder at a daycare in thailand. the country's worst-ever massacre. neighbors tell police the suspect was recluesive and did not socialize much. >> translator: he tended to be in his own world. he didn't mingle with the neighbors and the neighbors never went to talk to him. didn't really leave his home or he would drive his car home and stay with his family. >> authorities say the suspect killed more than 30 people in a knife and gun rampage at the child care center before returning home and killing his wife, stepson, and then himself. one of the victims at the daycare facility, 24 children between 2 and 5 years old. the tight-knit community and survivors are in shock. >> translator: i'm still traumatized by the sounds of footsteps. when i sleep, i'm also afraid of little noises at night. even retelling the event now

makes me scared. i'm still scared right now. >> grief stricken families of the victims held funerals on saturday. hundreds attended to pay their respects. north korea has fired off so many ballistic missiles in such a short period of time that south korea, japan, and the united states are scrambling to figure out why. south korea said the north tested two more short-range missiles on sunday, calling it a serious provocation, prompting an emergency meeting of the national security council. no fewer than seven missile tests have been detected in the past two weeks alone. since the start of the year, there have been at least 25, including cruise missiles. last week a north korean ballistic missile sailed over japan without warning, setting off sirens. a senior japanese defense official blasted pyongyang for

its threatening behavior. here he is. >> translator: these actions by north korea are a threat to the peace and security of our country, region, and the international community, and it absolutely cannot be tolerated. >> while adding to the growing tensions, it's widely believed pyongyang is preparing to carry out its seventh underground nuclear test. an israeli soldier was killed during a shooting at a military checkpoint in east jewell according to israel defense forces. israel's prime minister called it a terrorist attack. two other israelis were injured saturday at the normally quiet area near the shofat refugee camp. border guard forces are searching for suspects. that shooting came hours after a pair of palestinian teenagers were killed during an israeli military operation in the janine refugee camp according to palestinian officials. the occupied west bank has become increasingly volatile and deadly in recent days between

the israeli military and palestinians. you're looking at thousands of people marching in washington, calling for reproductive rights. this is just one of many demonstrations that took place across the u.s. on saturday in support of the issue. the so-called "wams wave day of action" comes a little more than three months after the supreme court overturned roe v. wade, ending protected rights to an abortion. it's also a month before midterm elections. the marches come as judges in two states put abortion bans on hold for now. a judge in ohio granted a preliminary injunction against the state's new law that bans abortions after early cardiac activity is detected. typically around 6 weeks, before many women know that they're pregnant. the ruling means abortions up to 22 weeks of pregnancy will remain legal while litigation continues. in arizona, an appeals court

temporarily blocked the enforcement of a ban on nearly all abortions across the state. the ruling temporarily allows health care providers to provide abortions up to 15 weeks of pregnancy until the state's planned parenthood appeal is resolved. still ahead, europe is taking steps to address its energy crisis as winter approaches. the united efforts to cut back on fuel use. pick an order print everything you need slap the label on ito the box and it's ready to go ouour cost for shipping, were cut in half just like that go to shipstation/tv and get 2 months free
