7:00 am
putin threats ukraine with a tough response if terror attacks continue. after a massive explosion damaged a cre bridge linking crimea and russia. and damaged infrastructure. several regions are now without power after russian missiles slammed critical energy plants. cnn has every angle of this developing story covered. frederik pleitgen is in kyiv and international security editor nick payton walsh is in dnipro. you and your team heard several blasts this morning. i know there have been air raids as well. give us a sense of what things look like right now because these are images we haven't seen since the very early days of this invasion right there in the country's capital. >> reporter: yeah, that is exactly what it felt like, as the air raid sirens were going off in the early morning hours of today and we felt the first impact and herd the first impact, i would say quarter past
7:01 am
8:00 in the morning. so right in the early morning rush hour here in kyiv. and the early times there was sirens going off for a very long time. and then just blast after blast that took place as the rockets were impacting the ukrainian capital here. and some of the places that we went to were in central kyiv. for instance there was a playground that was hit leaving a gigantic kracrater and a busy insection and there was just a seen of carnage at that intersection with several cars completely destroyed. we saw some dead bodies there as well and the ukrainians told us that five people were killed at that place alone. and just to give you an idea of the area that that was in, this was next to a museum and next to a university building. it is unclear that there would have been any sort of military infrastructure there. there certainly didn't seem to be any. and the ukrainians are telling us this is a scene that is going on in many parts of the country here in ukraine. they say that more than 80
7:02 am
cruise missiles were fire at ukrainian territory by the russians and 20 drones as well and the ukrainians say they managed to take a lot of those down with the air defenses. but of course they weren't able to take down all of them. and so what you have right now in kyiv is that there is still several districts that are without power. and it is a little more calm now. certainly also because a lot of people have opted to stay inside. but the mayor of the city, he has urged people to stay inside and seek shelter because clearly the ukrainians believe this could maybe not be the end. there could be more to come. >> that is what vladimir putin wa warned, that more could be coming. and a russia hour commute targeting civilians as well. and nick, we were talking in the last hour, this seems to be part of there m.o. on the russian part, to target civilians, to
7:03 am
cause as much terror to those there in the country. i'm just curious, ukrainians were anticipating some sort of response after that explosion, a and and the kerch bridge. but talk about what kind of reaction they were expecting and in how big of a surprise this was. >> look, i think there was a response that happened but the question has always been, what is still left in vladimir putin's arsenal. but an important lesson we're learning from here. yes, this was a busy rush hour road, yes, there was a bus caught by this. the second missile that landed here. you could see just how enormous the fire power deployed was. five people critically injured on that bus. and it has since been taken away. but the real question about this response. 80 plus missiles say ukrainian officials. what they were trying to hit. we know the power is out and a
7:04 am
structure has been hit but this is a telecoms building and the second hitting here two minutes later. so with the bid by moscow to flex their military muscles there was a portion of the morning where it seemed like every city in ukraine was having a air raid siren and if not under attack. that is what they targeted. they have success in knocking out the power. 80,000 people without electricity at the moment. but the kind of inaccuracy here, hitting this busy main road, hitting a building, this is essentially empty, underlies i think some of the clumsiness of the entire military strategy and campaign we've seen since february the 24th, when russia first invaded. and the fact that we've seen this moment of extraordinary violence meted out to civilians
7:05 am
and not precisely hit targets and has many worried here about the possibility of new veracity. there is a new russian commander to the campaign who got his name in syria where russian air forces were used to prop up the asad regime and cause great casualties as well. there is anger about how there is no military target here. there is people desperately trying to put u.n. sheeting over their walls because of how awfully cold it is suddenly getting. one woman ran out of the back and the two minute gap between the missile strikes because they fear when one hits another may come immediately afterwards to make the toll. but even with the speed of the clean-up here, which is remarkable, there is still the question of why here, why this sort of level of fire power, not cheap to fire cruise missiles to extent and quite what that said about how good russia's information is and how good
7:06 am
their weps are frankly if they still even seem half of the time to miss their target. >> it would be a review of what is to come. and you mentioned it is getting colder there and the winter is on the horizon and a lot of people there are concerned about what the next few months will look like on the ground there as russia is bregrouping. thank you. letez get to our experts. joining me now is jill dougherty professor at georgetown university. and colonel cedrick layton and retired air force intelligence officer. colonel, let me begin with you and pick up from what we just heard from nick in talking about russia flexing its military muscle now with the strikes, over 80 missiles launched. at a time when the military itself, what is happening on the battlefield is hit hard and regrouping. we had the mobilization over 200,000 russians called to
7:07 am
action here and they have to be trained over the next few months. there have been some thought and speculation about what that may look like as russia regroups. are we getting a preview by these strikes overnight? is this what is going to be happening as these soldiers are being trained? >> well, brianna, it is a partial preview. russians have looked at artillery and rockets as the god and goddess of war. and you're looking at their initial response to what happened with the bridge. the one that connected crimea with russia or did at least. so this is part of what they're going to do. and then they're going to be ramping up training. it is going to be haphazard for the 200,000 folks that have been called up to serve in the military. and of course they've got another extra 100,000 that they'll put in the pipeline right after that. so, this is part of the preview of come ing attractions, so to
7:08 am
speak. but it is not the only thang going to be doing. they still have other capabilities in their arsenal. some of those will be more conventional things like we've seen already. more rockets, i think they have more cruise missiles available and that will probably be what they'll use. but that supply is still limited no matter how big it is. >> and it is indeed. i'm curious how this is being received inside of russia and interesting to note that vladimir putin has chosen this attack on the crimea bridge to call an act of terrorism. this is clearly a huge blow for an infrastructure standpoint, militarily for russia. but also psychologically for vladimir putin as well. he invested a lot of political capital. and his best friend helped build this 12 mile bridge. what is the response been among the russian public there as he calls this an act of terrorism and perhaps even playing into the hands of some of those right-wing bloggers that been
7:09 am
asking for more of a escalation over the last couple of weeks. >> you're hitting on an important thing, brianna, because now it is difficult to judge what russians average citizens are thinking about this. almost impossible. however, you could look at russian media, state controlled media, and exactly as you said, there has been a push for vladimir putin to -- a lot of criticism, too. vladimir putin isn't doing enough. he's not taking the fight to the enemy. therefore, he has to really be merciless. and i think, if you look at this, putin is responding to that pressure coming from the really hard, hard forces in security, et cetera, who are saying you just have to really destroy ukraine. as nick was mentioning, he brings in this new general, who is the general who essentially flattened the city of aleppo in
7:10 am
syria. so this is a technique that they will use. and as you begin to kind of indicate, this is really a personal thing for putin. it is his bridge. it is symbolically connecting crimea which he illegally annexed and calls his own with russia. and just the temerity you would think about those -- by ukrainians or whoever did it, to take down this bridge or part of it is an is a front to him and i think there is now -- and there always has been but right now there is a element of personal emotional element that is coming into this. >> colonel, there has been some analysis from russia watchers that putin has historically dragged his heels and procrastinated any response. we've seen so many change in military leadership over the course of this war. i want to get more thoughts from you on this new general, who was
7:11 am
brought in. he's known as a brutal man. and somebody, as jill just said, has been blamed for master minding a lot of atrocity that we saw in syria. give us a sense of what you know about him. >> so the general is a very interesting character. he's known for his brutality, even against his own fellow officers. so this guy is didn't interesting character to say the least. he's 55 years old. he commanded the air force which is interesting begin the fact that he is an army general. so i'm sure that created resentment within the russian air force and jill mentioned that he masterminded the siege of aleppo, that is exactly right. he was one of the ones to actually be in charge of that and is clearly a protect of the asad regime. so as far as his next moves are
7:12 am
concerned, he is one of eight generals that has come into new positions in the recent months and that is something that shows that there is a tremendous lack of leadership and confidence in that leadership within the russian hierarchy and that lack of confidence i think is spilling over into their performance in this war. so it is a very dangerous situation for all concerned, actually. >> a lack of confidence in the hierarchy and lack of morale amongst every day troops. a recipe of disaster there for vladimir putin. thank you as always. >> you bet. well now to iran. where at least four protesters were reportedly killed during a crackdown by authorities on saturday. a human rights group claim 185 people have died since violent protests started gripping the country. for weeks following the death of 22-year-old massa amini. she died while in custody after
7:13 am
being detained by the morality police for not wearing her hijab properly. as protesters hacked iranian state tv disrupting the nightly news program which was airing a segment on the supreme leader. they replaced it with a photo of him with a target superimposed on his face alongside photos of young women who have died in the iran over the last month. and still to come, president biden gearing up to hit the campaign trail in western states less than one month away from the midterm elections. can he help democratic candidates despite his low approval numbers? and later, former d.c. police officer michael fannone who defends the capitol on january 6 reveals tapes that he secretly recorded wlie meeting with kevin mccarthy after the insurrection. plus a look at tech the federal government is recommending that could force you to drive the speed limit.

president biden sinking approval rating may be leaving his party vulnerable. in cnn's poll of polls which tracks five major national polls, his approval rating standing at 39%. 52% disapprove of the job he's doing as president. but still candidates still seem to be holding leads in a number of battleground states. harry is here with me. where do things stand as of now. >> reporter: so i'm a fan of looking at the senate races. they'll determine control of the united states senate. arizona, georgia, new hampshire, pennsylvania. if democrats win in these four states, they are probably going
7:19 am
to maintain control of the senate. and they are leading by four points in all of these. but look here. joe biden's approval rating is well under 50% in all of states. in this era of high polarization, you could say could democrats maintain control of the senate given biden saez approval rating. so i decided to go back in time to see, okay, look at some historic races that democrats won in the obama administration when the president's approval rating was under 50% in 2010 and 2014 and look at this, there is a slew of them. colorado, nevada, west virginia, illinois, minnesota, new hampshire, oregon, virginia. barack obama's approval rating in those states was under 50% but democrats were able to win. so if they were to win, it wouldn't be that big of a surprise. >> and many are asking why is it so difficult for republicans given that the economy still remains on shaky ground and given that historically that the party in office usually gets to
7:20 am
be the one that is beat up at the midterms. so why are things different now for republicans? >> it all comes down to candidate quality. candidates, candidates, candidates. net favorably ratings of gop candidates in arizona, blake masters under water. georgia, herschel walker under walker and in pennsylvania, mehmet oz well under water. so what is happening here, is the races have become more localized, and these gop candidates are to be honest in the voter's minds just not very good. >> candidates matter. >> who knew. >> you knew. thank you. good to see you as always. >> nice to see you. and later in week, president biden will head out west to campaign for democrats in california, colorado, and oregon. with a message highlighting his party's efforts to bring down rising gas prices and historic inflation. but will his presence on the trail help or hurt democrats.
7:21 am
here to discuss is white house reporters for at associated press simmon kim and lou oliver. simon, we're expecting to see the president out on the trail. what are we expecting to hear from him and why is it that he's welcome in some states and it appears there are others that he's skipping, case in point arizona. >> right. well the message that you're going to hear from the president this week is the message that he has driven all throughout the last several months as the campaigns heated up. and that is that this election even though it is a midterm election, that is it a choice. it is a choice between the democrats' view perhaps of health care and protecting medicare as social security againsts what republicans have put up and that is what the white house has been trying to hammer home. their view that voters could make this a choice election rather than a referendum election. but you're certainly right.
7:22 am
president biden is not a popular person for democrats on the campaign trail these days. and certainly for example in colorado, where he does remain a little bit more popular, he will be heading there this week. but you're seeing how because candidates don't want to campaign directly with the president, the white house is finding kind of unique ways to bolster the candidates and in colorado this week we expect him to designate the first national monument of his administration in colorado. that is an ask of senator michael bennan in a tough race there. >> it is bit of a gift for michael bennet. let me ask you about the race for governor in arizona. republican candidate kari lake still refusing to admit that president biden was a legitimate winner of the 2020 election. when republicans are asked this question, even those who have acknowledged fact that president biden has won, they tend to focus on let's just talk about the future, that is what voters
7:23 am
really really care about. how big of a issue is there among republicans and is there a divide in the part i as to how to comes to terms with a question that suhouldn't be on the table at this point. >> it is dividing party because we see candidates who have leaned in most hard on election denialism suffering the most. people like doug mast re ano in pennsylvania. not having a very good election in terms of his campaign so far in the polling and he's one of the leading figures when it comes to the denying the election. he was there on the capitol grounds on january 6. we are seeing some of the candidates there trying to sort of move away from their past positions including in new hampshire where a candidate there had denied the election and after winning the primary said he looked at it and actually believed that the election was free and fair. so some of candidates are caught in a bind because they campaigned very hard during the primaries. they support the former president and his lies about the election and now they're trying
7:24 am
to campaign to a broader electorate and trying to win over some of the voters that will determine the midterms, some of the middle of the road voters who don't believe in denialism. so those including kari lake in arizona are caught in a bind pivoting from that issue. she introduced president trump during a rally over the weekend and in her 18-minute speech did not address the 2020 election. talked about a bunch of other issues. so it does appear some of the candidates are trying to move on but their records an their past positions will haunt them as democrats try to make sure voters know where they stand on the issue of the 2020 election. >> speaking past haunting candidates. let's turn to georgia and herschel walker which is still a tight race given all of the controversy that has come out about his past and the reporting that he had allegedly paid for a girlfriend and ex-girlfriend, one of the mothers of his children, to have an abortion.
7:25 am
we have two republican big names, right, we have rick scott and tom cotton now going to campaign for him in georgia despite all of the negative headlines we've seen over the past few weeks. why is it that they're rushing to embrace him at this point? >> well republicans have made a calculation that in such a pivotal race for senate control this november, they're not going to ditch their candidate at this stage in the race despite all of the allegations surrounding him. i did find the visits pretty remarkable from two conservator powerful figures in the parry because it is one thing to issue a statement saying you stand by the candidate, you're going to let the race play out, but it is another thing to go down there and campaign on his behalf. but this is the posture of the entire republican -- basically the entire republican party right now. you have powerful campaign committees, whether it is the
7:26 am
official campaign arm or the republican superpac. they are not withdrawing from the race. i think this debate between herschel walker and rafael warnock and otherishes come up toar race that is so pivotal to senate control this november. >> and republican senator candidate rafael warnock has remained quiet throughout all of this. did democrats view this as a wise decision on his part. to sit this one out. >> we'll see. especially as we get closer to the debate, how much democrats want to make this an issue. how much they want to aggressively campaign on this issue. i think there has been calculus that just allowing herschel walker to sort of walk in his own shoes and sort of try to figure this out on his own and as he has stumbled over his answers sort of getting the political blowback by not even addressing this, some democrats think that it doesn't make sense to pour more water on this fire.
7:27 am
just allow herschel walker to suffer on his own. now that is a question that a number of democrats have, as to whether or not they should lean in on this more and we may see over the course of the next several weeks with this debate whether democrats decide to try to help voters to focus on this and allow them to make this decision as their approaching november, specifically making this election about character issue. about herschel walker's character and not just about the issues. >> potentially high stakes debate. and crucial next few weeks. thank you as always. it is great to see you both. and still ahead, the capitol police officer who suffered a heart attack during the capitol insurrection reveals tapes that he secretly recorded while meeting with house minority leader kevin mccarthy. more details straight ahead. if you have a "beforore" bath, now's the time to call bath fitter to get a beautiful "after." with our uniquque tub over tub process, there's no mess or stress.

7:32 am
this morning former d.c. police officer michael fanone who was severely beaten and suffered a traumatic brain injury during the capitol attack reviewed tapes that he secretly recorded while meeting with kevin mccarthy after the insurrection. law enforcement correspondent whitney wild joins me now. what is the significance in these tapes, whitney. >> reporter: well it is givening an inside look of what happened behind closed doors. he sacrificed, he suffered a
7:33 am
heart attack and a concussion and is now dealing with a traumatic brain injury and post traumatic stress disorder. and now he has greater clarity to what lawmakers were saying behind the scenes in the months after the attack. during a private meeting last summer between kevin mccarthy, he told fanone as well as capitol police officer harry dunn and gladys sicknick, information that seems to con flick with other comments that he made. he told all three that the former president, donald trump, had no idea that it was his supporters who were carrying out at tack. later in the meeting fanone con fronted him about his defense of trump. >> the president's statements that day were b.s. saying that -- >> you know, you were on the phone with him. while you were on phone with limb i was getting the [ bleep ] kicked out of me. lx losing my life. the way that he said this is
7:34 am
what happens when you steal an election, go home, i love you. what the [ bleep ] is that? that came from the president of the united states. >> and clearly he was just incredulous. we have reached out to mccarthy's office for comment. >> thank you. just something to hear him say that. we appreciate it. well as the january 6 committee gets set to hold its next and possibly final public hearing on thursday, committee members zoe lofgren said that will focus on donald trump's inner circle and violent extremists. listen. >> the plan, which actually began prior to the election, for the election to be seized even if it had been lost, you know,
7:35 am
honestly, this was a plot that began and was carried out with great intention by trump world including the president himself. utilizing violent extremists. >> joining me now to discuss is former federal prosecutor and cnn legal analyst jennifer rogers. great to see you. so what would you like to see and what do you expect to see from the committee as they present what could be their final public presentation of what has been months of investigation on their part, this time really focusing on any connection directly to the former president's inner circle. >> well expectations are high, bianna, because every single time the committee has brought new and blockbuster information about this plot, so i think and i hope that they will show us that there are significant ties between the president and his inner circle. one person being roger stone that jumps out and these oath
7:36 am
keepers and some of the evidence i think we're starting to see in the oath keepers trial going on right now. but we'll see what the committee has been able to dig up. that would go a long way to prove that the president himself and those around him knew about the likelihood of violence on that day. >> and the committee received some 800,000 pages of materials from the secret service in response to a subpoena. do you expect any light to be shed on what came out of these hundreds of thousands of papers this week? >> i hope so. that had been one of these big gaps in a really outrageous thing on the part of a government agency to not have maintained these records. so i hope that fact that they've been able to obtain some of what they were seeking will show us what commentary was going on at the time. these secret service officers, they're on the ground, they are closer to anyone to the former president, and other high-ranking officials. they see and hear a lot and what they would say about what was going on would shed a lot of
7:37 am
light. so if those records have that kind of information in them, i do hope that we'll see it and that we will learn from this. >> and that is an important point to make. because this is all for p posterity sake. into what went on and what led to the insurrection is for americans in the future, down the road to learn from. that having been said, i'm curious if you're worried at all about the timing here and the attention span among the american public given everything that has taken place, whether it is the war in ukraine, obviously the midterm elections, rising gas prices, the economy, et cetera. >> well that is always an issue. and i think certainly the way that the committee has put together the prior hearings has been very smart to try to keep them tight, keep them interesting, get people to watch. it is been enough of a gap between the last one and this one that i think people will tune in because they expect to see something interesting. but they'll have to produce it in the same way they did the
7:38 am
previous ones, right. give us the new information, make it all come together in a compelling way in order to get people to pay attention because when they drop that huge report that is coming, we all know it will be fascinating reading and chocked full of information. but most people in the country aren't going to pick it up. so this is the time to get the eyeballs on it and think they'll be able to do it given what they've done in the past hearings. >> in terms of what the consequences could be for the former president in any sort of legal jeopardy that he could be in, obviously a lot of focus now been on this dispute with the national archives. given that the focus now is on his inner circle and its connection potentially to january 6, what kind of legal question does he face, legal jeopardy as he is perhaps now considering another run for the presidency. >> well, bianna, he faces potential criminal charges. seditious conspiracy, all of
7:39 am
these things, obstructing an act of congress, charged by other defendants. the committee's wort hasn't been able to get to the people around him. so they haven't been able to get testimony from the people who were in the room with the president by enlarge. but doj doesn't have the same constraints that committee does. they could issue grand jury subpoenas which can't be ignored so i do expect they'll get to the heart of what the former president actually knew and actually intended and if that evidence is enough to bring a criminal charge and then they'll be in a position to do so. >> jennifer rogers, thank you as all. we'll have to leave it there. and coming up, intelligent speed assistance. we will take a look at the new technology that the federal government is recommending to prevent new vehicles from driving above the speed limit. y with aveeno® daily moisture. formulated witith nourishing, prebiotic oat. it's clinically proven to moistururize dry skin for 24 hours.

meeting scheduled for tonight. this just days after uvalde consolidated school district suspended the entire school police force. that decision more than four months after an attack that left 19 children and two teachers dead. cnn's shimon prokupecz has been breaking there reporting for us. what response do we expect from the families tonight? >> reporter: i certainly think you're going to see a sense of relief. a sense that there is some change that is happening in the community. many of the family members had a difficult decision to make in the beginning of the school year whether or not to send their kids back to these schools where the same very police officers were going to be patrolling, as you said that police department, the school police department which is a small police department has been suspended. i think also tonight what we're going to learn is what the next steps are with the school district. as we've been reporting, they've suspended the police department, what are the next steps there.
7:54 am
but also significant, the administration is changing. the superintendent said that he's going to be retired. we've been with the district for over 30 years. a big part of this community. so he's going it be retiring. that transition is going to be on the agenda tonight at the school board meeting and we're certainly going to hear from parents who are demanding for answers specifically how that officer, officer crimson ellizeondo was hired by the school district even though she was under investigation for his response while she was at the state department of public safety. sher ponce to the school shooting back on may 24th. >> so major developments, but they've been happening incrementally and it iappears they've come after reporting, like that of yours. what is the status of the overall investigation and how are parents and families handling all of it? >> reporter: well, certainly the
7:55 am
way in which information is coming out is really concerning. it is sort of just keeps -- it is just this punch to them. the consistent information, the lack of information that doesn't come out and then we have to do reporting and in order to get some of this information for these families, for this community, the fact that officials have not been open and transparent about what they've learned about the failed police response. the big thing that is happening in the community is that the local district attorney is running this investigation. and she basically has forbidden the authorities from releasing any information from even sharing a lot of the information with family members. so you have that investigation that is ongoing with the district attorney. but there is also a doj, department of justice investigation that is ongoing. so we'll hear about that in coming months. but everyone is waiting on the d.a. to start releasing information that the families. >> you'll be following that school board meeting for us today. shimon, thank you for all of
