could take years to even get inside the courthouse. >> it really could. >> i think that they are too worried about how to defend themselves than focus on what they should be doing. that's to make these lives better of the men and women suffering today. >> rather than it be me, it could have been the water i consumed, and the government could be responsible for what i went through. my ex-husband went on to remarry and have a couple more children. and there was nothing wrong with them. it had to be me. his other kids were fine, so it had to be me. >> and nick watt joins us now. has the military commented on the situation? >> reporter: well, anderson, the navy unit that's handling the claims would not give us an interview on camera, citing ongoing claims and litigation.

but they tell me they are now in the first phase of handling some of these claims. they concede they have not add jude dated a single one. but they say that, quote, they are committed to resolving claims in a fair, thorough, and timely manner. now, the marine corps also would not speak to us on come rah. but they say that they, quote, care deeply about the veterans and their families that are suffering from health issues. here's the issue, the longer this takes, you know, there are a lot of people who are sick right now who could really do with the money to help them with their current health concerns. and the longer this takes, you know, some of them could be dead before they get this money and before they really get confirmation from the marine corp. that it was the water that did cause their health problems. >> nick watt, i appreciate your report. thank you. coming up, president biden and the first lady hosting their french counterparts at a white

country, where she and her family have temporarily relocated. >> i really hope the war will be over soon because it is possible it is terrifying it is still happening. you know, 90 years ago, russia killed millions of ukrainians by genocide and it wasn't punished. the evil comes back. the evil is back. we see the genocide. it's obvious. they sent genocide to the ukrainian people. it is still not enough to defeat russia, the terrorists of russia. we need airplanes. we need tents. we need real weapons just to stop the genocide. and you know, all these engines and the united for ukraine, refugees, this is awesome. i'm grateful. but what we really need is to stop the war now so people with children do not have to leave

ukraine, so people do not have to die, to sacrifice. the war has to be stopped by force because otherwise it will still go on and go on. and every day more ukrainian lives are taken away. >> olena gnes. there was an intentional message that president biden and the french president macron were trying to send the world tonight. what was it? >> yeah, anderson, there's no question babout it. it was clear. it was unequivocal, and it was unified in terms of its support. and it's long lasting in the intent to continue that support as long as the war takes and lasts. that's critical because of how important these two nations and this bilateral relationship is to the entire response from the west, that unified response we've seen throughout the course of the nine months. one at this moment in time faces very real, very acute challenges. obviously the brutality on the ground in ukraine, the targeting

of si civilians in the lead-up a very difficult winter has created real problems on its own. you extend those problems out into europe, where european countries are struggling economically, struggling with energy prices, struggling with looming winter themselves. this was very calibrated and intended to send a message at one of the hardest points of this war. >> you have them united in their public comments. what are officials saying about where things stand behind the scenes? >> in talking about the u.s. officials and the french officials in the wake of that meeting, both feel like where the two leaders landed actually exceeded their expectations. they went into the meeting to show unity, looking to find as many places of agreement in the area where they've been aligned in the broad sense of things. but there have been diverges in terms of whether or not to speak to president putin, to seek

negotiations. when you listen to the two leaders speak, i'm told it's very much reflective of what happened behind the scenes. one french official saying that president biden and president macron agreeing that more battlefield gains by the ukrainians are critical to put them in a better negotiating position in the future. and president macron making very clear explicitly, not hedging at all, that there should be no negotiations. there will be no negotiations without the ukrainians saying it is time for that to move forward, no sustainable peace ot otherwise. and also president biden opening the door to speak direct i will to president putin. making it clear not right now, it's not the right time. there are many caveats tied to that. macron has continued a line of communication with president putin, unsuccessful up to this point. but to some degree you saw the two leaders move closer to one another as part of that intent to show unity at a complex and difficult time in this war.

>> more now on one aspect of why brutality is so integral to what the russians are doing in ukraine. cnn's fred polite gen is in moscow with us for more. tell us what you've uncovered about the wagner group now. >> reporter: one of the things we know about the wagner group is they've been recruiting prisoners from russian jails. essentially the deal is this, you sign up for about a half a year. there's a huge chance you're going to get killed or maimed. but if you survive, you get freedom. now it seems as though wagner is recruiting africans out of jail in russia. and one of those africans has just died on the front line. here's what we're learning. >> reporter: mercenaries for russia's wagner private military company are fighting on some of the toughest battlefields in ukraine. a social media channel affiliated with the group recently posted this video, allegedly showing a severely wounded wagner fighter trying to

shoot himself, rather than fall into ukrainian hands. now the group has acknowledged a man from the southern african nation of zambia has been killed fighting on the front lines in ukraine. this is 23-year-old -- wagner's founder known as putin's chef admits he recruited him from a russian jail, says he died a hero. i talked to him in the region, after all, the chance of dying is quite high. and he answered what i expected. you russians helped us africans gain independence for many years. the wagner group saves thousands of africans, and if i go to war with you, this is probably a very small way in which i can pay our debts. zambian authorities say he was studying nuclear engineering in russia but was thrown in jail for more than nine years for what his father told reuters was a drug defense.

despite what prigozhin said, the zambian government is demanding answers. >> what is happening in that war? >> reporter: wagner admits it is recruiting fighters from russian jails and even confirmed to cnn they're sending inmates with hiv and hepatitis to the front line. as russia struggles with manpower issues, videos and inmate testimony shows prigozhin visiting prisons and offering freedom contract. >> translator: if you choose to go with us, there will be no way back. nobody will be able to go back to prison. >> reporter: africa has been the major theater for wagner for years. cnn has tracked the unit across the continent. including in the central african republic, where wagner

mercenaries officially train the central african army, but have also allegedly committed horrendous human rights abuses. wagner recently published a propaganda video glorifying its military training in the central african republic, where the group's operative show recruits how to kill effectively. prigozhin says narendra was so grateful to wagner, he was willing to die for the mercenaries, claims zambia's government clearly isn't buying. >> what really can the zambian government do? what are the next steps for them? >> there's very little they can do. right now the first thing they are trying to do is get the body back. for them it's really important to get answers from the russians because one of the things they fear is that more people from zambia and indeed from other african countries might be recruiting by the russians, anderson. there's already some information coming out that apparently the russians and specifically wagner are trying to recruit african exchange students here at some

universities. and of course then you have the whole prison population, where wagner is also very active as well. and all of that goes down to the fact that russia lacks a lot of manpower in ukraine. if you look at what's going on right now, especially in areas like bakhmut in ukraine, where the ukrainians are saying the russians are simply sending waves of people at the trenches to try and overwhelm the ukrainians, it's essentially cannon fodder. and of course a lot of these african countries, and zambia in this case after this happened, is extremely concerned their citizens might be involved in this and more could die in the future. >> we appreciate it. these so-called troops and this kind of war has turned parts of ukraine into killing fields, as fred was talking about, liberated areas into crime scenes. traveling with war crimes investigators, documenting their work in the pages of "new york times." take a look at one of his images with a site of an evidence of apparent atrocity against some civilians. thanks so much for joing us. the photographs you have been

taking have just been extraordinary from kherson. you've been out with war crimes investigators. can you just talk a little bit about what you've seen particularly in this town where there was a 15-year-old girl who was killed along with a group of men? >> yeah. "new york times" journalists and teams have been in kherson since the city was liberated about three weeks ago. so, this week, we've been documenting what it was like during the last eight months during the occupation. as part of that reporting, my ukrainian colleague and myself this week followed the war crimes investigators to this town, which is just outside kherson. we ended up talking with a woman who told us this story of this 15-year-old girl who had become friendly with these seven security guards from out of town who were guarding this lot where farming equipment and vehicles

were held. and told us that these security guards had been executed along with the girl early in the war in about march. and they had been buried in a communal grave somewhere. so, we told this to the war crimes prosecutors and went with them to the site where a neighbor told us what had happened. one day in march, he heard a big explosion at a house nearby, where these security guards had been living. and he went over and he found these bodies, six bodies, in the rubble. five men and this young girl. and he was a hunter. he said he knew a little bit about what death looked like, and it wasn't the explosion that had killed them. he said the men's hands had been bound. they were blind folded and had bullet holes to the back of their skulls. and he said the girl looked like she'd been strangled. and the villagers told us what they thought the story was, that this young girl had been abused by her step father, the step father was afraid that he would get in trouble.

and he decided to collaborate with the russians and made up the story that the security guards had been passing information as part of the partisan network, handing on information of russian movements and troops to ukrainian forces. so, it appears from this that they were then killed for having done this. >> you've gone out with war crimes investigators, and they exhumed the bodies of this 15-year-old girl and some of the men who were at the site. are they able to figure out a cause of death on the scene? >> right. so, yeah, the next day, we went with the forensics teams who exhumed the site with the six bodies. there were seven security guards, all of them believed to have been killed. the neighbor asked the russians if they could bury these bodies thachlt refused initially, but after a month they allowed to bury them. they buried them in this communal grave that was exhumed. the forensics expert showed us

the twine that was holding the wrists bound and he held up the skulls. and you can very clearly see the entry point of a bullet wound to -- a bullet hole to the back of at least three of the skulls. the girl herself was buried at a separate location. but that was a more difficult one to be able to identify. we need to go to more for proper evaluation. >> you've been covering this war now for so long. how has what you're seeing now different from what you've seen in the past or is it? >> i think just the fact -- today, for example, i was out all day with an artillery unit. this is a modern war, but it's been fought in a kind of previous century warfare with these long-range artillery battles. kherson has been liberated, but it is still under artillery fire. i've been there for the last

couple of weeks. daily incoming and outgoing artillery. people who have survived eight months of occupation, some of them are being killed by artillery being fired from just across the river. so, it's free of the russian presence but not the russian threat. >> some of the images we've seen, i mean, it looks like trench warfare of world war i in the mud or the snow or world war ii. >> it's striking how, you know, what our visions of what a 21st century war might look like with all the technology. but certainly the scenes on those trench lines, you know, all the trench lines, the russians positions that have now been abandoned the in kherson along the eastern front, it really just looks like something from, yeah, from another century. it does look like these blasted waistlines of splintered trees and muddy trenches and soldiers suffering from trench foot from spending so long in these soaked, muddy trenches.

it does really reflect something from more than 100 years ago. >> i appreciate your time tonight and appreciate what you do. thank you. >> thanks, anderson. zblnchs a lot more ahead tonight, including former president obama's impact on the georgia senate runoff. he spoke in georgia tonight. later with miles of lava burning across hawaii, we'll get an up close look at it and be joined by jeff phoenix. should ! plop plolop fizz fizz with alka-seltzer plus. also try for fast sinus and pain relief!

(limu squawks) he's a natural. only pay for what you need. ♪liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty.♪ with just five days to go until the georgia senate runoff, incumbent democrat raphael warnock and republican herschel walker. >> since the last time i was here, mr. walker has been talking about issues that are of great importance to the people of georgia, like whether it's better to be a vampire or a wh

werewolf. this is a debate that i must confess i once had myself. when i was 7. then i grew up. >> that's funny. perspective now from georgia democrat politics and what it takes to mobilize black voters, former u.s. congressman and former atlanta mayor, andrew young. ambassador young, thank you so much for joining us. we see president obama out on the campaign trail for senator warnock tonight. the consensus seems to be even among republicans, the momentum in this race has been trending in the senator's favor. do you think that's true? >> you know, i think it's true. but people voted in strange patterns here in georgia.

and traditionally, we might get more republicans on election day. but the lines have been long, but they're moving fast. and everywhere i hear throughout the state, there's been a good turnout. it's surprising to me because they shouldn't be -- >> how much is this election in your opinion about affirming the senate for senator warnock and how much is it about rejecting walker and the former president? >> well, the election really is about the future of the united states of america. and it's the voice of reason versus the voices of emotion. there's so many issues that have been popping up that frankly

have very little to do with the senate. >> what do you think it says that the former president has no plans -- that former president trump has no plans to come to georgia to campaign on behalf of walker? >> well, i don't know. and i think that that's their problem. our problem is seeing to it that we have people going to the polls and realizing that the vote is what creates the lifestyle we live. i go back to the days when we were trying to put a mass transit system in. it was won by only 400 votes in two counties. so, elections are close, and people have differing opinions and no opinion.

and they vote their emotions rather than what's good for the country quite often or what's good for the future of the world. and georgia has been a leader in that. i mean, we've been a leader in trying to set the future. atlanta growing had 1 million to 7 million. and our problem is managing that growth. that means everything's going to get more difficult. but it means you've got to think harder. you've got to work harder. you've got to come together. we've had a tradition of the business community and the minority community working in partnership all the way back to the days of martin luther king. and that's the success that's made atlanta what it is. >> you mentioned dr. king. obviously you were very close. you worked alongside him in the civil rights movement. he famously said in 1968 that

the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice. do you think he would still feel that way today? >> oh yes. >> not just about georgia but about america as a whole. >> he would definitely feel that way today. you know, he never gave up on america. he never doubted america. he said things like, truth crushed to earth will rise again. well, that's a tradition that warnock is in. and you know, we're a state of amazing grace. through many dangers, toils, and snares, we have already come. and we've made it. and we'll continue to make it. but we'll make it with our brains, and we'll make it with our partnerships. and we might disagree, but we can learn to disagree without being disagreeable. and that's been what we've stood for as a city and as a state.

and the city and the state have worked very well together through the years. >> ambassador young, i so appreciate your time. thank you. >> thank you very much. up next tonight, tough questions from nba legend lebron james, did the press ignore controversy involving the white owner of the dallas cowboys while avoididing the black star. randi kaye looks a at that.

two of the most pow eerful names in pro sports are sparking new conversation in america about historic systemic racism. one of them, jerry jones, appears in a decades old photo. lebron james wants to know why that image is not getting more attention. the take away is a source of debate. randi kaye tonight has more. >> take a good look at this photo taken september 9, 1957.

those white students are blocking six african american students from enter a little rock, arkansas, high school. the black students were trying to desegregate the school. among the white teens, a young jerry jones, as in the future owner of the dallas cowboys. the photo surfaced last week, and los angeles lakers star, lebron james, wants to know why it isn't getting more attention. this was him last night after the lakers win. >> i was wondering why i haven't gotten a question from you guys about the jerry jones photo. but when the kyrie thing was going on, you guys were quick to ask questions about that. >> reporter: lebron was disappointed but it runs deeper than that. >> the whole jerry jones situation photo -- i know it was years and years ago and we all make mistakes, i get it -- but it seems like it was buried under, oh, it happened. okay. >> lebron is calling attention to what he sees as a diskelkt between the media and the old

photo and the overwhelming coverage of brooklyn nets guard kyrie irving. last month, irving was suspended for eight games after tweeting a leek to a documentary containing anti-semitic messages. irving unusually refused to apologize. later he did so in a lengthy instagram post but only after a media storm. >> when i watched kyrie talk, and he says, i know who i am, but i want to keep the same energy, we're talking about my people and the things that we've been through. and that jerry jones photo is one of those moments that our people, black people, have been through in america. and i feel like as a black man, a black athlete, as someone with power and a platform, when we do

something wrong or something that people don't agree with, it's on every single tabloid, every single news coverage. it's on the bottom ticker. it's asked about every single day. >> for his part, jerry jones was 14 at the time of the photo and told "the washington post" he was only there to watch, not participate. one reporter recently asked jones about it inside the dallas cowboys locker room. >> that was, gosh, 65 years ago, and a curious kid. i didn't know at the time the monumental event really that was going on. and i'm sure glad that we're a long way from that. nobody there had any idea, frankly, what was going to take

place. you didn't -- we didn't have all the last 70 years of reference. >> reporter: jerry jones is now 80. and in 33 years of owning the dallas cowboys, jones has never hired a black head coach. "the washington post" reports the cowboys do have an all black strength and conditioning unit, which makes the staff more than 50% black, a black vice president of player personnel. >> randi kaye joins us now. has jerry jones said more about the photo and being on the steps that day? >> reporter: anderson, he was asked about it in that locker room interview. he was asked if he had any regrets from that day. he says he wouldn't have dug up that photo. he says he was criticized for being more concerned about what his coaches at the time thought of him being on those steps because they warned him there was going to be trouble on the steps of the school that day. so, he was more concerned about that. as you know, jerry jones is a

force in the nfl. and "the washington post" actually also asked him about whether or not he thought he had the ability alone to change things in the league, such as getting training for minority coaches earlier on, putting them in higher positions. and he told "the washington post" that he and the league could have done more. chinese officials worried that a wave of nostalgia after the death of a former leader could fuel more protests. we'll have a live report from hong kong next. hi, susan. honey. yeah. i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad. try this robitussihoney. the real honey you love, plus the powful cough relief you need. mind if i ro through your trash? robitussin. the only brand with real honeyand elderberry. >> tech: when you get a chip in your windshield... trust safelite. this couple was headed to the farmers market...

or live chat at calhope.org today. . chinese officials are now signaling a possible ease in the country's strict covid policy. now chinese officials worry that nostalgia fuelled by the death of one of xi's predecessors could become a flash point for more protests. ivan watson has more. >> reporter: this was the week people across china said they're mad as hell and they're not going to take it anymore. the most widespread display of dissent the country has seen in a generation. protesters are pushing back against the crushing lockdowns

and restrictions of the government's zero covid policy. but chinese state media never showed any of these images. instead, on thursday, offering scenes of very different crowds. somber people lining the streets of shanghai, honoring former chinese leader jiang zemin. he is being given the country's highest honors. his open casket met at the hospital met by current leader xi jinping. jiang was president of china from 1993 to 2003, famous for his trademark spectacles and for periodically bursting into song. his death has triggered a wave of nostalgia on the heavily censored chinese internet. who would have thought that movies, books, and even world cup live streams have all been censored. one person wrote in a post that

appears to have sense been deleted by sensors. i miss the old man that just passed away. i miss the old times that were embracing and renaissance-like. >> allowing that outpouring of grief, that nostalgia, that memory without having it turn into or feed criticism of the current leader and the current administration. >> in 1989, the death of another senior communist party official was the catalyst for the tiananmen square protests. they were ultimately crushed in a deadly military crackdown. analysts say chinese officials will be careful not to let jiang's death become a flash point at another time of national tension. >> this is exactly why the authorities also tie the zero covid measures yesterday partly in response to some of the protests and partly --

>> reporter: authorities lifted some lockdowns in some cities on wednesday, while also cracking down in other areas, with police arresting and intimidating protesters. jiang's upcoming state funeral may present an additional challenge for authorities. will xi jinping's predecessor, hue gin tow attend? he last shared a stage with xi at october's congress. he was ushered out of the hall, seemingly against his will. a strange apparently unscripted moment for a government that prioritizes control above all else. >> cnn's ivan watson joins us now from hong kong. are there any sense the government will back track from the zero covid policy? >> there are some signs. this is a government that talked about a people's war against

covid. and just in the past couple of days, you have senior officials who are suddenly spinning a new narrative saying, hey, the omicron variant isn't as deadly as previous variants. and you've got health officials calling for shorter lockdowns, for less of a burden on the population. but the changes now are really piecemeal. you've got some cities that are loosening some of their lockdowns. meanwhile, we're counting, as of thursday, lockdowns in at least 30 different cities across the country. winter is coming. even if it loosens up in china more, you've still got tens of millions of chinese senior citizens that haven't had a third vaccine jab that are vulnerable. if they start getting very sick in large numbers, a question is going to be, will the chinese government risk the wrath of its own population to go back to these lockdowns again? and we're just going to have to watch this. >> ivan watts, appreciate it. coming up, the amazing

the same time as the volcano just over 20 miles away and it hasn't happened in decades. while there are concerns about air quality and a major road that could be impacted in the days ahead authorities say there is no threat to the people in the community which means we can all use the moment to stop and take in the wonder, to forget however briefly about the man made eruptions that fill the headlines and simply marvel at nature. here are some of the most powerful sights and sounds so far we've seen .

you can hear the crust of the lava sounding like bricks scraping against each other. the author of my wild explorations of science, weather, and life is with us. what is it like and what are we seeing and hearing in these pictures? >> well, it was the first volcano i every worked on back in 2008. what we're seeing is the volcano going about its business.

these forces of nature operate on geologic time so talking millions of years whereas our life times are a hundred if we're lucky. so we're just seeing the normal process the volcano goes through as part of the life cycle and we all get to benefit because of how stunning these images are. >> how many openings are there around -- it looks like multiple ones and then streams between them. >> right. so there's numerous fissures that opened up. the most active, three and four. they're trying to keep the names pretty straight forward at this point. and what will happen is the magna supply will move. so this eruption originally started at the summit, moved to the southeast rift zone which is an area where lava has been known to be extruded in the past. now it has moved to the northeast rift zone. the southwest rift zone has had major eruptions before but right now northeast is where all the activity is. you will see essentially rivers

of lava as long as there's magna supply going out up through to the surface. >> this is dumb but why is it shifting? >> well, it is really not something we can explain perfectly. i wish i had an easy answer for you. volcanology is a fairly young science. we've made observations for millenia but using the new technology and instrumentation has only been going on for about the last 40 years. right now we can tell where the magna is moving to but don't necessarily know why it is moving. >> is the volcano posing a threat? we were told it is not a threat to people right now. >> yeah. that is actually what makes this such a fun eruption to talk about for geo scientists. we love when we can sit here and marvel at earth's ability to create and destroy at the same time and not stress about oh, my gosh someone's life is in danger. so this is kind of an ideal for

us. >> there are two volcanos erupting in alaska right now as well. are they related to what's happening in hawaii? >> fortunately, no. volcanos each have their own distinct magna chamber so like separate plumbing. what is going on in alaska is totally normal and one of my favorite facts is that actually over the last 12,000 years of volcanic history worldwide, the united states is home to the most number of active volcanos that have erupted. >> wow. >> we're actually the world's leader in volcanos at least historically and we're still number three, since 1950. we have had a lot of volcanic activity. what is going on is like i said, they're just going about their business. >> just extraordinary. thanks so much. appreciate it. >> thanks for having me. this is great to watch. >> yes. incredible. the news continues.

vo: it's a new day. because covid vaccines just got a big update. just in time for everyone who works. with other people. just in time for... ...more togetherness. just in time to say “oh, you bet we'll be there!” because the updated vaccines can now protect against both the original covid virus and omicron. and that's a moment... we've all been waiting for. how many rooms are in there? should we go check it out? yeah. we get to stay here all weekend! when you stay at a vrbo... i call doing the door code! ...the host doesn't stay with you.
