>> the death toll from the russian missile attack on the apartment building in dnipro, ukraine, a rising. ukrainian officials say the total number of people killed now stands at 44. earlier this morning ukraine's first lady olena zelenska speaking in davos condemning russia for the senseless murder of civilians. >> translator: there is nothing off limits for russia. this missile was built to destroy aircraft carriers and was used against the civilian infrastructure. these ordinary people at home on a saturday, that's enough reason for russia to skill. >> we will take you live to the site of that atrocity where search and rescue efforts are ongoing. here in the u.s. several meetings are happening today. president biden hosts the dutch prime minister at the white house, secretary of state antony blinken meets his uk counterpart in a high-level delegation from the united states is in kyiv at this very moment.

all this as russia says it is planning to increase troop levels. >> we are covering all the latest developments in russia's war on ukraine. let's begin with cnn's fred pleitgen outside the apartment building in dnipro where 25 people are still missing. fred, what is the latest on the ground there. >> reporter: a couple minutes ago the search and rescue operation here actually did come to a close. there was a little bit of a ceremony here where the search and rescuers they put on the sirens of their ambulances and the fire trucks, they put on their flashing lights as well. they themselves were honored and they also honored and paid respects to the many victims that were buried underneath the rubble here. i want to get out of your way because it is an imposing site now now, there is an eerie quiet here now and just this massive dapg hole where this residential building used to stand. obviously many people lived their lives here, dozens of families lived here until it all came crashing down and all that of course just to one massive

missile the ukrainians say. again, we have to point out to your viewers the ukrainians say the missile fired into this building is designed to destroy aircraft carriers, it's a massive ordinance, dropped here and certainly the rescue and search operation have been massive. i think you guys were referring to it, there were still bodies pulled from here earlier today, there were four bodies that were recovered, including the body of a small child. that puts the death toll of children here to four and of course there are still people who are missing and maybe some more bodies will be found in the future, but for now the initial part of the search and rescue operation here certainly has ended. if you just look at some of the figures, it really is remarkable, because the operation went on for about 72 hours and the ukrainians say that in that time they put -- they got away more than 8,500 tons of debris and of course there were people buried underneath a lot of that. so a massive operation that took

place here. folks here working around the clock and as you guys can imagine as people still stand here, still come here, still lay flowers here, many in tears, there is a lot of anger right now towards moscow and towards the russians, guys. >> yeah, in addition to the children who were killed there, i'm just reading right now that five children left without parents, orphaned by this attack according to the ukrainian police. frederik pleitgen outside that building, thanks for your reporting. in washington, d.c. today secretary of state antony blinken will sit down with his british counterpart to discuss support for ukraine. this as a high-level u.s. delegation met with top ukrainian officials yesterday to reaffirm the u.s. commitment to ukraine. >> alex marquardt is all over this story for us. let's begin with secretary blinken. what is his main objective today? >> this is a week that we will see a full display of u.s. and european unity around the issue of ukraine, support for ukraine.

what we can expect from secretary bliken and the foreign secretary of the uk james cleverly later today is an emphasis on that military support for ukraine and that there is a commitment to ukraine for the long haul. that this is not something that the western allies are just committed to for the past year of this war, that this will continue and that, you know, vladimir putin cannot wait them out. because there is a growing sense among many experts that time is on vladimir putin's side, that despite massive setbacks that he still has a huge number of troops and a large amount of equipment that he can carry this war for quite some time, for years to come. the brits have just made a major announcement just yesterday that they are going to be sending main battlefield tanks called challenger 2s to ukraine. that is a big escalation in the type of weaponry we're seeing going towards ukraine and the uk is hoping other allies will follow suit. we will hear the foreign secretary james cleverly saying

that allies need to go parts and faster in this moment in terms of the military aid that they give to ukraine. that ukraine can win this war if it is given the right amount of combat power with which to fight the russians. now, john and bianna, we have seen a significant amount of the u.s. support for ukraine this week, both across the pond in germany as well as here in the states. just yesterday we saw ukrainian troops arriving here in the u.s. in oklahoma at fort sill for training on that all important patriot missile battery that ukraine needs so desperately to defend its skies. that is training that will take place over the course of several months. and then we've also seen the start of training at a u.s. base in germany for several hundred ukrainian forces combined arms training that will take place over several weeks. and then this week will culminate will with a meeting of the ukraine contact group, also taking place in germany, in

which 50 countries and different organizations will come together to discuss the need -- the military aid that is needed in ukraine and, john and bianna, you can imagine that that conversation will center primarily on air defenses that are so critically needed as well as armored vehicles, that we are seeing an increased number of heading towards ukraine. >> germany in the process of appointing a new defense secretary after theirs just resigned after some scandal there. of course, a lot of pressure on germany to continue contributing more ammunition to ukraine. alex marquardt, thank you. also this morning president biden is set to welcome the dutch prime minister to the white house. ukraine will be front and center of course at these discussions as well. >> cnn's mj lee our senior white house correspondent at the white house this morning covering this. mj, what do you expect to see? >> reporter: john and bianna, we are moments away from seeing president biden host a major nato ally here at the white house, he will be holding a

bilateral meeting with the prime minister of the netherlands and of course as you said, no surprise here, the ongoing war in ukraine is expected to be a major topic of discussion, of course, the netherlands is a country that has already committed some billions of dollars to supporting ukraine and as this war has dragged on president biden for his part has made crystal clear over and over again that he believes it remains all the more important that the alliance of countries that are supporting ukraine basically stick together and continue giving security and humanitarian assistance to ukraine and that these countries ban together to continue rejecting russia's aggression towards ukraine. now, ukraine aside we also of course expect the two leaders to talk about different areas of economic cooperation and one area that we are watching out for of course is containing china's economic expansion and particularly on the key issue and the key u.s. goal of preventing china and beijing from getting access to this important semi-conductor

technology. that has been a critical american goal and something that biden has, again, made clear that he doesn't think the u.s. can do alone. case in point, think back to last week when he hosted the prime minister of japan here at the white house and that, again, ended up being a key issue of discussion. so, again, the two leaders are going to be heading into a bilateral meeting this morning and we expect economic cooperation and also the war in ukraine to be two important topics. of course, this coming on the heels that have horrific missile attack that we've seen in ukraine in dnipro, obviously the two leaders are expected to discuss that as well. >> all right. mj lee, thank you. an indiana father is due in court today after this shocking video showing his 4-year-old in diapers brandishing a gun. the neighbor called 911 because she saw this little boy in a hallway outside their apartment carrying a gun. the doorbell video recorded the child seemingly alone, waving and pointing the weapon. >> the father's arrest played

out on live television with responding officers followed by camera men for a per sees that was covering police activity across the country. cnn's jean casarez is covering this for us. jean, walk us through what happened here. >> it was a close call, but i want to walk you through the body cam video because i think that really shows it and, by the way, that little toddler was pulling the trigger and you are going to find out the gun was loaded. first of all, the officers get the call at this apartment complex that a toddler has a gun, the neighbors are calling. they go and they do a cursory search, that's them right there, the officers in the apartment, cartoons are playing, they don't find it, so they're about to leave. a neighbor then contacts them before they leave, she walks out of their apartment, look at this, and it's her ring video, and that ring video is showing this toddler minutes before that, right there, at the

entranceway with the gun waving it around, pulling the trigger. the officers immediately -- we have to go back in. so they go back in the apartment. the father says i have never brought a gun into this apartment. there is no gun in here. and he asks his son, where is the toy? well, the officers keep searching and there you go, it's in a desk, was in a desk, very firmly placed toward the back underneath the television and the desk had the rolling top right there. so they immediately unload it, there were 15 rounds in the magazine, but because there wasn't a bullet chambered the gun didn't go off when the little toddler kept pulling the trigger >> oh, my god. this is horrifying. >> it's unbelievable. >> -- to watch this. do we know where the boy is now? >> it's being reported out that he is with family. the father of course, we have been reaching out, does he have an attorney at this point? we've reached out to the public defenders office. he said he didn't know about a

gun. he wasn't aware of a gun. but there you see it, right there. and i think a pivotal question is going to be that desk that had the folding top. could that little boy, the toddler, have put it in and put the folding top back over the desk? can wasn't disclosed, it was hidden. >> look, it's chilling to see that. >> yes. >> anyone anywhere near that is lucky it turned out the way it did. jean casarez, thank you so much. sources tell cnn new searches of president biden's properties are still on the table as questions continue about the storage of classified documents. who will be conducting these searches? that's ahead. and later republican candidate who lost his election in new mexico now arrested. why police are calling him the mastermind behind a string of shootings at the homes of four democratic leaders. plus, harrowing video purportedly showing the final moments inside the cabin of a plane before it crashed in

there are new concerns for the white house this morning with sources telling cnn that even more searches of president biden's properties are now possible. it's unclear where those would take place or who would conduct them. >> cnn's senior legal affairs correspondent paula reid joins us now. what properties are we talking about here, paula? >> our sources did not give us specific locations but we know from our reporting that the president used other office spaces, his family also, for example, rented a home in northern virginia. important to note t wouldn't just be potentially searches for additional classified documents but also potentially be looking for other presidential records that would need to be turned over to the archives. in terms of what has been searched so far, after that initial discovery of classified documents at the president's former office here in d.c., his team of attorneys decided to carry out some additional searches, but they specifically focused on locations where they

knew documents had been shipped during the 2017 transition, so that's the former office and these two residences which you see there on the screen. now, the other question is if there are other searches, who exactly would do them? because right now they have the president's private attorney and a white house attorney conducting these searches. now, only the white house attorney has the proper clearance and this gets a little messy. one attorney finds something, has to stop, wait for the person who has clearance, then it has to be handed over to the justice department. look, john, i'm not saying there is some playbook for sitting presidents who have to undergo a search for classified materials from the time they were vice president, but this can potentially get a little messy. now, it is interesting in our reporting we learned the u.s. attorney out in chicago who originally handled the review of this case, he didn't ask for searches, he didn't conduct any searches. the biden team did that on their own, but it is also notable that he did not wait, the u.s. attorney did not wait for the biden team to complete all of these searches before

recommending a special counsel. he had seen enough, there was also we're told a little bit of frustration with the pace and the lack of speed in these searches and now this will likely be something we will have to work out with the special counsel robert hur. will there be additional locations searched and who will do them? >> one could argue at least politically speaking things are already quite messy. paula reid, thank you. with us now is margaret talev senior contributor for axios and michael moore former u.s. attorney and partner at moore hall in atlanta. welcome both of you. margaret, clearly not the conversation that the president had been hoping to start the new year on, and here we are. in terms of what the white house and the administration can say going forward now that there is somebody assigned now to investigate this, what should he be doing? what more can and should we hear from this president on this issue? >> well, yeah, i think politically and from a public

relations perspective the white house knows that if it could get in front of this and give a full some description of basically what the documents are, how they got there, all the questions we are asking that it would probably help them get it over with. apparently the legal side of the white house and biden side are saying you can't do that because now this is a matter that's -- that a special counsel is involved in. and so that dissidents -- that conflict between the legal side and the political side has really created a problem for them. you're right, he wants to be talking about what he accomplished in 2022 and his path forward and gearing up for a 2024 run, and this is hanging over his head. he also wanted to distinguish himself from donald trump and while we still believe there are a lot of differences between the volume and the handling, the response to this, it shows that donald trump is not the only president or former president or former vice president who ended up with documents in the wrong

place that he shouldn't have had. it does muddy the waters. one thing that we've heard is that this will probably prompt future conversations about what to do with presidents and vice presidents leaving office, new rules of the road for handling documents and i wonder if that's a space that this white house would want to get involved in just to seem proactive as if they were doing something. right now it's a drip, drip, drip, they can't get ahead of the story and it's cause add political headache for them. >> might be a good idea to set rules in place going forward. let's talk about the legal side that margaret was referring to there. why wouldn't this president want all these properties searched just to make it clear -- and frankly why wouldn't they have done that on day one? >> yeah, well, i'm glad to be with all of you. there are some legal implications at play and that is if he were to be charged or if they were to try to use something and his team is telling him don't say anything right now. but, look, i have found that the

american people and prosecutors and judges and juries are most forgiving when they don't feel like they're being, you know, led down a path without being told the truth. this seems to me to be a pretty simple call by this president just to come forward and say this is what we're doing, this is what we've found, this is how it happened, this is what i'm going to do to make sure we've recovered everything, and at that point he's dealt with it politically but i really think at the end of the day he's delta variant with it legally. i don't fault his lawyers for being cautious, in this environment that's probably a well-deserved place to be, but at the same time you know this has been a political mess and could turn into a legal mess. even in the opening i was chuckling at how the comment about there was frustration over the pace of the search. for crying out loud, i mean, we're talking about a few weeks versus months or a year in the search down in florida.

so these have gotten conflated together and i think that's hurting biden and it will hurt him to come out and just level with where we are, what he's doing, what he's going to do to fix it, how it happened and face it head-on. >> we have differentiated the legal consequence both of these cases but you can't deny that the optics at least politically harm this current president, president biden, who said that he came in with sophistication, right, with experience and criticized former president trump with how he handled classified documents. michael, if i can just follow up with you on the question of the volume of documents because we've said that maybe perhaps there's under 20 versus the 300 or so that president trump had stored. does that matter as much as the level of sensitivity and classification of these documents? >> it probably wouldn't matter if all of the documents -- if 20 documents are top secret and at the highest designation then

that's a pretty serious thing as opposed to some documents that may be at a lower classification level. and so from that aspect i would say no. from the optics of it, from a prosecutor looking at it, from a judge or a jury looking at it then i think the volume matters. you know, you've got to differentiate the threat, the possible threat at least that there may be to some classified secrets getting out versus how many are there. and, again, we don't know. that's part of what makes this whole, you know, confusion about who is going to search and how are they going to search. i mean, think about how silly it is that we're getting into an argument about form over function. let's get somebody in there, these documents are typically contained in an envelope or some folder marked classified, it's not like they are just laying out like a kitchen recipe on the counter. let's look at the documents, let them find that and then if they need -- let's go on and get on with the search. let's let the american people know what's out there.

there are new details this morning in the case of a former university of alabama basketball player charged with murder. the mother of 23-year-old victim jamea harris says her daughter was shot and killed because she rejected a man who tried to flirt with her. >> darius miles and another man have been arrested and charged

in the shooting. miles has been kicked off alabama's basketball team. his attorneys say he maintains his innocence and looks forward to his day in court. martin savidge is covering this. >> when we first talked to authorities about what was the motive behind the shooting they said a minor altercation. well, now thanks to jamea's mother we understand what that altercation was about. she says that her daughter and her boyfriend went to the university of alabama on saturday, they were out that evening, they stopped to get something to eat. while she was eating jamea says -- her mother says the suspect came up to her and began trying to flirt with her, trying to talk with her. jamea wanted nothing to do with it, she was with her boyfriend. they eventually decided to just leave, they got into the vehicle and jamea's mother says one of the suspects came up and fired a gun into that vehicle, killing jamea. eventually police talking to eyewitnesses and looking at surveillance video were able to id the suspects in the case,

darius miles, 21-year-old third year forward for the university of alabama men's basketball team, i should say former member of the team, and michael davis, a 20-year-old, both have been charged with murder. since that time, though, darius' attorney has put out a statement, it reads as this, darius miles and his family are heartbroken tonight over the death of jamea jonae harris. while darius has been accused of being involved in the tragedy he maintains his innocence and looks forward to his day in court. authorities have not said who pulled the trigger here. the coach of the university of alabama's basketball team, men's team, had this comment about the whole tragedy. >> i've got three daughters, went through my mind how easily it could have been one of mine. tough situation. talked to darius' mother multiple times yesterday, very hard situation on both accounts. so, you know, just continue to

pray for jamea and her family, although i didn't know them, but they are certainly in our thoughts and prayers. >> jamea harris is 23 years of age and she was the mother of a 5-year-old. capital murder by the way is the most serious charge in the state of alabama. bianna and john. >> such a senseless tragic murder, martin savidge, thank you. authorities are now seeking blood tests from the children of a missing massachusetts woman. they're hoping to use it to test against blood stains found in the basement of ana and brian walshe's home. >> ana hasn't been seen since new year's day. her husband hasn't been indicted in her disappearance but has been charged with misleading authorities. jason carroll joins us from cohasset, massachusetts. police logs confirming that ana walshe's employer was the first to report her missing not her husband. what more are we learning? >> reporter: right. that's something that prosecutors had said during walshe's arraignment last week

and now it has been confirmed we actually took a look at those police logs dated january 4th and it does show that her place of employment in washington, d.c. was the one that actually called cohasset police and said that she was missing, which begs the question a and there have been so many questions as you know, bianna, in this particular case, why didn't brian walshe -- why wasn't he the one who called police and reported her miss sng that is something that investigators are going to be taking a look at in addition to what they already have. you know, test results on things such as the hacksaw that was found at that trash facility, they're going to be looking for test results and the blood stains that were found in the basement of the home. so once they get all of that in -- and they certainly already have enough circumstantial evidence in this particular case, right? so they are also going to be looking to get back some of those forensic results. once they have all of that then you have to ask yourself what the prosecutors' next move can

be. one, they could fire a criminal complaint to the district court on various charges, they could have a grand jury indict. basically we are in a holding pattern waiting to see what the prosecutors' next move will be. >> jason carroll, thank you. overnight a former republican state house candidate in new mexico was arrested for allegedly orchestrating several shootings at the homes of multiple democrats. we will have more details up next. we're talking about... rooty tooty fresh 'n fruity yep,p, it's back. for a limited time. the six dollar rooty t tooty fresh 'n fruity combo. 2 eggs, 2 bacon strips, and 2 fruit topped p pancakes. only from ihop..

democratic leaders. police say solomon pena claimed election fraud after his loss and is now accused of paying and conspiring with four men to shoot at democrats' homes. >> one targeted county commissioner adrian barboa spoke to cnn earlier. >> politicians at our highest level of government continue to make threats and violence a regular part of public discourse. it has real impacts on our democracy and our real lives. i was -- shots came through my home right where i had just hours before been playing with my granddaughter. >> cnn's josh campbell has been digging here. what have you learned about what happened exactly in the background of pena? >> this is a terrifying case, this republican former new mexico houpt candidate who claimed election fraud after his landslide defeat was arrested by the s.w.a.t. team yesterday. police say that solomon pena

paid and conspired with four men to shoot at the homes of four demo democratic-elected officials. cnn has attempted to reach pena for comment. these shootings occurred between dice 4th and january 3rd. in the latest shooting police say that pena pulled the tr trigger. one of those elected officials allegedly targeted she said she had an encounter with pena right after the election. have a listen. >> he came to my house after the election and he is an election denier. he weaponized that dangerous thoughts to threaten me and others causing serious trauma. yeah, he was saying that the elections were fake, really speaking erratically. i didn't feel threatened at the time but i did feel like he was, you know, erratic. >> now, as far as those four alleged accomplices police are still investigating whether they actually knew who they were shooting at or whether they were just paid to open fire, but

authorities say it was a host of evidence that they used to actually try to help uncover this conspiracy, including firearms evidence, surveillance footage and witnesses, guys. >> so, josh, clearly this is a complicated investigation as you noted officials are now connecting five people to what they call a conspiracy. help us walk through where this investigation leads next. >> police have described pena as the mastermind, i think that's generous in this situation, because, you know, looking at past investigations anytime you have more than one person who is involved in a crime, that opens up a window for law enforcement to find a weak link, to try to gather evidence. all you have to do in this case is really look at what's called the victimology. what that means is the relationship between the victim and the offender. in this case all of the victims were democrats so police would be able to quickly make that assumption that this could be politically motivated. couple that with the fact that pena according to some of these witnesses actually went to the homes of these officials after the election, berating them, one person calling him very erratic.

again, it really points to, okay, this could be someone who would then be predisposed to act with violence and commit some kind of attack like this. one thing that i think is key is you look at what police say is that firearm evidence, anytime you shoot a gun it ejects a spent shell casing, also fires a bullet into in this case the homes. those are key pieces of evidence that investigators would use to try to track back who actually owned that weapon n this day and age so many people have doorbell cameras, we're sold video surveillance was important as well as cellphone technology. they look at cellphone towers to try to determine what numbers were pinging these numbers at this time of day. we've been reported that this heated political rhetoric has troubled investigators and law enforcement because they are afraid of just this very act, someone who may be predisposed to act with violence, politically motivated and tries to conduct some attack. a serious case. >> all of those bullet holes in

those houses -- >> very real. >> very real and very dangerous. thank you very much. for the first time in 60 years china's population shrinking. what that now means, what this milestone means for the entire world.

numbers. >> yeah. >> -- just released this morning. >> they're new. >> -- that will have a huge impact on the economy and security situations around the world. for the first time in six decades china's population has actually decreased, its gone down. it fell by about 850,000 last year. >> that means more people died than were born last year alone. the new data came alongside the announcement of one of china's worst economic performances in nearly half a century. mark stewart is live in hong kong to break this down for us. first the population decline, that has been a trend that predated covid and going back to china's long-standing one-child policy. this is now the impact from that. how is the government responding? >> reporter: right, bianna.

until 2015 chinese families could only have one child. well, because of a gradual population decline, that was reversed. in fact, in 2021 the government now said you could have three children, but that doesn't seem to be moving forward so well. so there are a number of things at play. first of all, people are getting married older. that impacts fertility. some families are saying, no, we don't want to have children at all. so that is something that contributes to this population decline. and then china, like in many parts of the world having a child is very expensive. we are not just talking about food and the basics, a lot of chinese families spend additional money on education, things like after school tutoring programs. that has contributed to the decline. so there isn't just one single reason and it's something that the government is having to grapple with, they're trying to create even more incentives such

as maybe extended maternity care, tax breaks, tax benefits to encourage people to have children, but this is very -- this is very tough and it looks like according to u.n. proje projections, india will top china in 2023 as far as total population. >> it has huge implications going forward for china and therefore the entire world. they have to start to take care of an aging population, do they have the numbers to do that, what does it mean for their economic output, their manufacturing. it is a giant deal. insofar as what we're seeing economically in china right now, marc, the zero covid policy they're trying to go back on that, where do people see things headed? >> reporter: well, the zero covid policy without question has had an impact on china's ability to be an economic might in the world. i mean, for two years or so everything was in lockdown. that meant that ports were not operating as efficiently as possible. think about all of the products we get from china, manufacturing was impacted and then people got

sick so that also slowed things down. what china is doing right now is basically saying to the world in bold terms, you know, we are open for business. one thing which they are doing that is getting a lot of attention, especially here in hong kong, china is loosening some of its regulations on things like tech, the housing sector, which was under strict limits. the hope by kind of laying off some of that will encourage business, especially from the west, to do business . >> and we should take any data coming out of china with a grain of salt. they have rounded up when this came to their economic numbers. mark stewart, thank you. >> maybe a salt shaker. >> exactly e. a new warning about the devastating effects of covid for pregnant women. pregnant women who get covid at any point during the pregnancy are at high risk of dying or having severe outcomes.

>> so let's bring in medical correspondent tara narula. what are we finding. >> this is more literature to support getting the covid during pregnancy increases the risk for mom and baby. about 13,000 pregnant women and 12 countries and 12 studies all put together and they looked at the 2000 women who got covid and compared them to the 11,000 that didn't. they found that those who are covid had a four times more likely chance of getting admitted to an icu and 7 times more likely to die and then increased risk of conditions like pre-eclampsia and clottingment and the babies were at risk of pre-term birth and low birth weight and getting admitted to a neonatal icu. so more data to support getting vaccinated. >> what could women do to

protect themselves and we know the answer. >> about 80 countries still don't have any recommendations for pregnant women to get vacci vaccinated: but they all support the safety and the benefits of guesting vaccinated during apprec pregnancy. >> and also if you're conceiving and getting treated for covid for women who may get covid and they pass on antibodies at delivery because the babies can't get vaccinated until six months. so as of now 72% of pregnant women in the united states have had their first series, only 19% have gotten their updated booster. >> that is the new normal. covid is with us for the foreseeable future. pregnant women need to get vaccinated. thank you. it looks like a normal descent until it didn't. the video taken inside of the
