target, but the big question is, was that spacecraft able to successfully move the astroid off its current orbit? and we just learned moments ago from nasa at a press conference that the answer is yes. for the first time ever, victor, humanity has been able to successfully change a celestial body out there in the universe, which is so wild when you think about it. here's by how much. before the impact, that astroid orbited a larger astroid. every 11 hours and 55 minutes. but after impact. but now it's 11 hours and 23 minutes. so that's a dangchange of 32 minutes. it may not sound much, but it's three times greater than what they had regrpredicted. here's bill nelson moments ago.

>> it was expected to be a huge success if it only slowed the orbit by about ten minutes. but it actually slowed it by 32 minutes. dr. lori glaze and the dark team will explain more about how we confirmed that. now, this is a watershed moment for planetary defense, and a watershed moment for humanity. >> reporter: so that is an image right there that nasa just released at this press conference, brand new, taken by the huble space telescope on saturday. what you're see thing is the aftermath of this impact, which was more than two weeks ago. you're seeing the bright spot, that's essentially the point of impact on this astroid. and then this tail that stretches for about 6,000 miles. so victor, this definitely proves that if a potential killer astroid were headed

towards earth, this is the type of technique that nasa would try to deploy. the only catch is, you would have to deploy it many, many years in advance in order for it to work, victor. >> now at least we have proof of concept, that it can happen. kristen fisher, thank you. newsroom. good to have you. ukraine is making a new plea in response to the largest scale of attacks from russia since the first days of the invasion about 200 days ago. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy requested an air shield during an emergency meeting with g7 leaders today. his country is now in the second day of one of russia's fiercest bombing campaigns with more than 100 missiles hitting in the last 48 hours, according to zelenskyy. at least 19 ukrainians have been killed, more than 100 wounded. air strikes as far away as the western city of lviv we're

seeing. that's hundreds of miles from the war's main theaters in the east and the south. zelenskyy told the g7 that much more is to come from vladamir putin. >> translator: russia wants to create chaos in ukraine and in all the democratic world. that's why he uses everything, from the missile strikes to the occupation of ukrainian land, sabotaging infrastructure in europe, and after the annihilation of all the energy facilities in ukraine. we have to stop this. >> russia admitted to striking ukrainian energy facilities as winter approaches. the ukrainians call this a war crime. fred pleitgen is in kyiv. what's the situation there? >> reporter: yeah, well, it's no secret, victor, that the ukrainians say they need more of those western modern air defense systems. volodymyr zelenskyy obviously

calling for, as he put it, that shield, meaning that they want more air-to-air capabilities. and the germans are delivering some, the u.s. will deliver some, as well. but it's tefdefinitely somethin the ukrainians say is their top priority. they are facing these missile and drone barrages that are hitting a lot of cities here in ukraine. it's something we felt once again on the ground in the capital city, where we had an alarm that lasted for five hours. we were showing some of that black smoke rising up around the city of kyiv. some of the places that were hit were in the vicinity of kyiv. but also a lot of other places, as well. one of the interesting things, the energy minister just told cnn that 30% of the country's energy infrastructure has already been hit by russian missiles. obviously, this causes problems for the ukrainians. they're urging people to conserve energy.

at the same time, calling on the international community, the u.s. and allies specifically to get them those air defense capabilities as fast as possible, victor. >> ukraine is home to the largest nuclear power facility in europe. and it's under russian control now. vladamir putin today said that he's concerned about it. tell us about that. >> reporter: yeah, the zaporizhzhia power plant. six reactors, biggest nuclear power plant in all of europe. and it's one where a lot of shelling has been going on the past couple of months. it always seems as though that plant is close to a very large disaster happening. emergency power systems very off have to be turned on. there's shelling in the vicinity of that plant. both sides blaming each other for it. the international atomic energy agency, they have people at that plant, and they do say the russians have military infrastructure and military vehicles inside that power plant. the big problem that they have

right now is obviously the ukrainians say this is their territory and power plant, and they are in charge of it. but vladamir putin has signed a decree saying that power plant now belongs to russia. today, the head of the iaea was in moscow to speak to vladamir putin. but not much headway was achieved. >> fred pleitgen, thank you. with me now, former adviser to ukraine's president zelenskyy. igor, thanks for your time. i want to understand how these attacks have changed daily life. you're in kyiv where diplomats went back to embassies there. businesses reopened. there was some sense of normalcy, but now you have these recent attacks. how has life changed where you are? >> reporter: yesterday, it came as a surprise obviously to the civilian population. for the first time ever in this war, downtown kyiv was struck,

killing civilians. yesterday, people were shocked. some of those instincts kicked in and people started stocking up on fuel and food and everything. but today i was in central kyiv and everything is back to normal. ukrainians are resilient, so the restaurants and shops have reopened. shopping malls, everything. what's also mind blowing about these attacks is how the international community is -- one of the missiles struck very close to a german visa center facility, which was actually affected. the windows were blown in and people would have been injured if they were there. yet nobody is doing anything. we can deflect astroids, but for some reason we can't deflect cruise missiles flying at a democracy in central europe. >> you posted a video today which you suggested you don't think that the attacks yesterday and today were planned for yesterday and today. or were directly in response to

the kerch strait bridge explosion. explain that. >> well, to coordinate this level of attack, we have had over a hundred cruise missiles launched at us over the course of the last two days. in order to plan for something like that, you need more than two days. it's only been two days before -- since the kerch bridge incident, so i think putin was originally preparing this for the independence day, at least we all got warnings to be extra careful in kyiv. but nothing happened. so i think he postponed it towards the coldest months, but the kerch bridge provoked him into launching this. but that's one very important difference here. most people see it as an act of desperation. putin is losing the war. therefore, he's trying to

basically escalate his way into negotiations. he's killing on purpose to force zelenskyy to said at the negotiating table. >> yeah. i want your response to -- or reaction to what we just heard from fred, that ukrainian official says that 30% of the country's energy facilities have been hit. if this continues, how will ukraine provide for its citizens as we get into the cooler months? >> i've only spoken today with a number of acquaintances and friends of mine who work for energy companies. one of those people works for one of the largest energy companies in ukraine. basically, we have restored power, we try to limit damage. some people go injured in central ukraine today, because they were working on a power plant, and the power plant got hit again. so we're going to be exercising

every tool in our possession to try and adapt to the situation. but worst comes to worst, we're willing to take it. this is nowhere near what we're willing to take. >> igor, thank you. major john spencer is a retired u.s. army officer and co-author of the book "understanding urban warfare." good to have you. so i've got two different voices here on hitting these energy facilities. we heard from igor there that said this is a play to encourage negotiations, that there is a strategy here. and general hertling last hour says there's no strategy from russia. this is what they have left. they're running out of resources and men on the ground. where do you see the value for russia of hitting these energy facilities? >> yeah, victor, i think that both those voices are right. i used to teach military strategy at west point.

putin is going to go down as the worth military strategist of the modern era. this is clearly terrorism. he's trying to scare ukrainians into peace negotiations or something like that. but it's literally the opposite, right? another guest said this, all he did was galvanize ukrainians and galvanize people like the u.s. to rush air defense systems, and half of his missiles, although every one of those 100 plus missiles were a war crime. so he should be held accountable for that. but all he did was galvanize the world around ukraine. the ukrainians themselves to fight harder. >> the ukrainians are asking for these advanced air defense systems. they want a shield. whether or not they get that, that may force russian troops back onto the ground, back into territories. are they equipped, trained for urban warfare? >> the ukrainians? >> the russians.

>> absolutely not. and the russian military, i think this is to bring attention away from the russian military that is broken. they're absolutely not trained. they're rushi ing tens of thousands of draftees to the front lines that get five weeks to two months of training, if that. they are not trained, and they are going to be severely hit by this weather that's coming. >> do you think that there is a possible air shield that can happen for ukraine, if not the entire country for some of these population centers? >> so i absolutely agree that it's not a shield that he's asking for. he's just asking for increased air defense capabilities, which are a wide arrange of everything from s-300s that he already has to newer american made defense systems or individual air defense systems that will increase the security of

especially the cities. you can't put a shield over the entire hundreds of miles. but you can protect these civilians with more. he shot down half of them, victor. so clearly these systems work. if we can rush more, that will be a huge help to take russia's ability to create terrorism away. >> all right. major john spencer, thank you. >> thank you. today, joe biden talks exclusively with jake tapper. don't miss it at 9:00 p.m. eastern on "cnn tonight with jake tapperi." >> the city council member whose son was the target of racial comments just spoke out. details are next.

just getting this in. we're hearing from los angeles city council member after his son was the target of the racist remarks by his colleagues. he addressed a crowd of protestors who delayed the start of today's regular city council meeting. cnn's nick watt is following this one for us. what is he saying? >> reporter: well, let's first get to why he's saying this. so what happens is, some audio leaked of a meeting between three latino democratic city council members and a labor leader. on that tape, the president of the city council is heard describing bonen's son, who was apparently behaving fwadly in a

parade, describing him like a little money, saying he needed a beatdown, she was prepared to give him that beatdown, and she later joked about treating his black son as an accessory. now listen to what mike bonen had to say today. >> these words, they cut and, and, and they stung. you know, i know that i can never really know or comprehend or beale the weight of the -- the daily relentless racism, anti-black racism that my son is going to face. but, man, i know the fire that you feel when someone tries to

destroy black boy joy. and -- >> reporter: there were a lot of people in that council chamber to listen to what he had to say. but martinez was not amongst them. she's resigned as president of the city council and is now taking a leave of absence. she was not there. the other two council members, they left the chambers before mike bonen started speaking. a lot of anger there as you can see in those pictures. there were people wearing t-shirts saying, i'm with the blacks, that is in reference to another comment that can martinez made about the d.a. here in los angeles. she said, f that guy, he's with the blacks. a lot of people also from the indigenous community, mexicans, they were absolutely outrained at what martinez said about them. she called they will ugly and funny little people. this is exposing great divisions, racial divisions here

san francisco has one of the largest city budgets in america. yet when it comes to homelessness and public safety, we're not getting results. what we really need are better policies, more accountability, and safer neighborhoods. vote no on propositions m and o. the last thing we need are higher taxes, especially right now. now is not the time to raise taxes in san francisco. vote no on m and o. just moments ago, republican senators rick scott and tom cotton rallied around georgia senate nominee herschel walker after reports he asked a woman to terminate two pregnancies. with four weeks until the midterm election, this highlights how critical the state's race is, with a 50-50 split in the senate. cnn is live from that rally in carrollton, georgia.

so what did they do? how did they make the case for walker? >> reporter: well, victor, i just left the scrum where walker got on the bus, didn't take any questions. i asked him if he had any proof to refute the allegations against him? you know, soon after these allegations emerged. he said he was going to file a lawsuit. he just blew right past us and went on the bus. today served the republican's purpose. they wanted to come into georgia and boost their candidate. senator rick scott, the chair of the national republican senatorial committee, senator cotton of arkansas, really saying that they believe this is a winning seat, that georgia is conservative enough for walker to pull off a victory. and they believe that voters here will tune out the noise and support walker, based on his position on public safety, the economy, and a host of other local issues. >> eva, thank you. alyssa farrah griffin is a

former trump white house communications director. kirsten powers is a cnn analyst, and a "usa today" columnist. thank you both. alyssa, cotton and scott, do you think they're moving votes at all? what's the value of this visit today? >> it's significant. look, it's the chair of the nrsc showing that the party is fully behind herschel walker despite the allegations. but i would remind republican voters, if you're uncomfortable with the rank hypocrisy displayed by herschel walker, there are other seats that they can win, where you don't have to vote for a candidate that you're not comfortable with. listen, the party is squarely behind him. i think it's a mistake. part of the reason that we have

her him is donald trump recruited him for that seat, rather than somebody who would have had less vulnerabilities. >> kirsten, do you think this reporting about encouraging a woman to have two abortions loses any support for herschel walker? we heard from some national republicans saying i don't care if he aborted baby eagles, i want control of the senate. but does he lose any support because of that reporting? >> i don't think so. i think that republican voters have shown that they are really not that different from these republican leaders, who are interested in power. they're interested in controlling the senate, and they're willing to overlook just about anything. we saw that with donald trump. and so there is this deniability factor. he's doing exactly what donald trump created the playbook on, which is just to deny things, say they didn't happen, even if it did happen, and, you know, honestly, i think if he was

caught on video writing a check to planned parenthood and said he didn't do it, the voters would say well, he said he didn't do it. that's what we have come to, people are saying well, it's okay for me to support this person so that we can have control of the senate, and the ends justify the means. >> this is a tight race in georgia. abortion obviously one of the issue at the forefront. if you look at what people in georgia believe about a potential national ban, which herschel walker supports with no exception, 2/3 of voters oppose congress passing a federal law making abortion illegal. so kirsten, this might be more relevant than any questions of alleged hypocrisy. >> i think there is a disconnect though often. we see it particularly on abortion, between what the leaders say and what the voters want. so this is something that has puzzled me frankly about the republican party, because we see it so consistently.

we see state legislatures doing things that the people in the state don't support, passing egregious laws against abortion rights. we see national leaders, like herschel walker, talking about no exceptions, and national bans. when hardly anybody supports that. even in republican politics. so i can't really explain that disk disconnect between the republican voters and the leaders. maybe alyssa can. >> to kristen's point, i agree in the sense that the base voters are going to be with someone like a herschel walker no matter what, but now that we're in a general election cycle, a few weeks out from the midterms, i think it's possible you could see a scenario where governor kemp is re-elected and herschel walker loses. i do think that the hypocrisy does stand out to people.

post dobbs, the abortion issue is animating both on the right and the left. and i could see it really pulling him down, some of the polling is showing that is hurting herschel walker. so it's too soon to say hthere will be falloff. >> alyssa, let me stay with you on this, the gop candidates hitting democrats on crime. this is senator johnson hitting his challenger, lieutenant governor barnes. >> my opponent does not support law enforcement. it seems like he has far greater sympathy for the criminal or criminals versus law enforcement. or the victims. >> do you think that's effective, that line of, you know, he has more sympathy for the criminals will work in this race? >> it wouldn't be the messaging i would use. it's very effective when the

republicans focus on the economy and the rise in violent kram. those are 70% issues for voters. i don't like the language there. i don't think you need to go to that length. people can turn on the local news and know that crime is up. we don't need to say that the other side is on the side of criminals. but, again, as i talk to republicans and advise republicans, do focus on the economy and crime, but talk about solving the problems, not just pinning it on democrats. >> kirsten, i want your take on what we're seeing from senator bernie sanders in an opinion piece where he says the abortion issue must remain on the front burner, but it would be political mall practise for democrats to ignore the state of the economy and allow republican lies to go unanswered. he's talking about wealth inequality, income inequality, and that's on brand for bernie sanders. but what do you think about his larger point here? >> well, i think across the

board that the democrats could do a better job at responding to the attacks that are coming against them, whether it's on the economy or on crime actually. i think the story about crime that the republicans are telling isn't accurate. what the democrats have is more of a rhetoric problem than an actual problem in terms of supporting law enforcement or in terms of, you know, the murder rate or anything like that. i highly recommend to people to look up the report on the gop murder problem. gop state murder problem, because it's very high in gop states. but what we do see is democrats not being willing to talk about it, and not being willing to speak up about what their actual position is, versus the sort of caricature the republicans do. and i'm not talking about what substantively right or wrong, i'm just saying what actually has happened. what has actually happened is the democratic party has not

supported abolishing the police or not funding the police. that is a left talking point for organizations that support that. and yet, many people are left with the perception that's what they support. and it does turn off voters. >> four weeks to go. kirsten, alyssa, thank you. >> thank you. a monument of a greek goddess holding a dying confederate soldier was moved from the center oh of a north carolina town. why that action has ignited intense emotions in an evolving community. >> our nasty history of slavery and shooting black people. history is being retold.

like a lot of small cities in the south,salesbury, north carolina is seeing a demographic change. more diversity, more white democrats. but after a confederate monument was removed from the middle of town, some people say they're losing their history and heritage. cnn's elly reeve has their story. >> when they moved the statue from its perch, it was surreal for a lot of people of color. it represents a very dark time in our history. >> they're tearing down our

history, the true history. they say that it hurts maybe the black community's feelings. it hurts my feelings that they were slaves and now their history is being torn down. >> a stalt tue of a greek god dec carrying the statue of a confederate soldier. it was removed. americans are fighting over how the country's history is told. whether in public monuments or school textbooks. we wanted to know why some still feel connected to confederate history, so we asked greg if we could come to a meeting. >> it's a tough subject to put a confederate flag up, because people don't understand why we're doing it and quick to call us names. we're not doing anything wrong. we love everybody. i don't want to tear history down, i want to add to it. >> people would show up, like

after the death of george floyd. anthony smith was there. >> we were out there, the kids were chanting. >> black lives matter! >> and then the confederates started to emerge on the other side of the street. >> they didn't want to see the monument vandalized or attacked. >> the gentleman, drove down here to join in with that group. he pulls out a gun, fires it. it's like, okay, this keeps escalating. >> it was originally for police brutality. then it got focused on the taking of that down. i directly -- a nonrelated issue. monuments and memorials have nothing to do with individual actions of law enforcement. >> do you understand the argument that the black lives matter protestors are making of why police brutality and a confederate monument would be linked? >> not really. given it's an inanimate object.

>> i can explain it for you. the idea is that the state has used violence to suppress black people to prevent them from voting, using violence and intimidation to keep the population oppressed. >> right. >> and so that's the connection. it was removed from downtown in july 2020 and placed in a confederate cemetery a year later. after the blm protests, smith decided to run for city council. >> i see this fight for a display of confederate symbolism as them trying to create a sense of, i'm a part of a story. and y'all are trying to take my story away from me. the problem is that that story is problematic, because a lot of the story has to do with the dehumanization of people that look like me. that's the part that gets difficult to have a conversation about. >> i personally would like to hear everybody's opinion,

whether it be african american or asian, hispanic. >> greg -- >> yes? >> there's no way i'm the first person who told you that some people see the confederate monument as pro slavery. >> of course. >> or pro white supremacy. >> there's people out there that believe that. >> well, you're just saying, well, if some of us come to me and tell me i'm offended, i'll listen. but they've been saying it. can't you read a painer? >> yeah, i can read a paper, but if someone wants to speak to me individually. >> why do you need to be spoken to individually. you were there when black lives matter were protesting it. you could have listened to them. >> to be fair, i didn't have a choice but to listen, because they were chanting it. >> i've had a handful of people come up and whisper, are you a democrat?

like it's shameful. the demographics are changing. more people of color, more people from urban areas. alyssa redman bought a bookstore after 15 years in the foreign service. >> it's a fairly liberal down, but we are surrounded by a very conservative county. i wanted to be in a place where my vote would matter, but also my voice. >> i can see maybe how it looks scary to them. like, man, the world is not like it was. and some people are not taking it well. >> the local newspaper still gets letters from people upset that it was moved. >> i see it as a movement tavis created to take down one monument was to take down every monument, essentially to replace the existing culture with something entirely different. >> you said there was a cleansing. i'm wondering who is cleansing who. >> are you talking about the statue being cleansed. >> not only stat choose, but

just historical fact in general. >> i want to know who exactly is doing the replacing? >> democrats. >> what do you mean? >> angie. >> you think -- >> i'm speaking for me, because i see what you're doing. you're turning it. let me tell you what a cleansing is, a cleansing of our nasty history, of slavery and shooting white people, shooting black people, okay? there's a cleansing of that. and history is being retold. >> i want to know what greg thinks. the reason i ask, just to be transparent is, you use the term "cleansing" and "replacement" and those are both terms i've seen a lot in the white power movement. so are you consciously referring to those things? >> no.

i'm not saying that there's any racial cleansing being done. because i don't believe that confederate monuments represent something that's specifically driven by race. if any one member of our organization has any notion of racial supremacy or domestic terrorism, i would nip that in the bud real quick. >> elly reeve, cnn,s salisbury, north carolina. breaking news into cnn. angela lanslansbury has died. she was the star of "murder, she wrote" and according to a statement from her family, she died just five days shy of her 97th birthday. we'll remember her life and legacy, next. essentials so you can easily manage your team's devices. onon the network with more 5g coverage. only from t-mobile for businessss.
