you are no longer in danger because this shooter is gone. >> the suspect in the deadly monterey park shooting confirmed dead, but for a grieving community questions remain as to why the attack happened. u.s. president joe biden facing new criticism from inside his own party after the fbi finds more classified documents inside his delaware home. and aid comes in many forms for a war ravaged ukraine. while germany softens its tone on tanks, volunteers head to the front lines to deliver much needed supplies. >> reporter: live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with rosemary church. and we begin in southern california where police say the suspect in a deadly mass shooting in monterey park is dead. the los angeles county sheriff says the suspect died from a

self-inflicted gunshot wound inside a cargo van after a standoff with police. he's accused of killing ten people and injuring ten others amid lunar new year celebrations. the suspect has been identified as 72-year-old huu can tran. the sheriff says tran went to another gathering where two people wrestled the gun away from him. it was that seized weapon that allowed police to identify him. the sheriff says the investigation is ongoing as police work to determine a motive. >> we're looking at all criminal history, mental health history, and those are all things the detectives will take a very hard, long look at and see if it impacted -- what occurred here, the motive. and that's part of the learning lessons and sharing them with our partners and seeing if there's any -- any gaps that were there that we may have missed. >> cnn's natasha chen has been

following developments and has more now from monterey park. >> reporter: on sunday evening on lunar new year when the community was supposed to be celebrating law enforcement gave a press conference confirming that a man they had cornered in a white van in torrance, california, was in fact the shooter of this monterey park scene just a couple of blocks away from us where on saturday night he opened fire, police said, killing ten people and almost 24 hours later still seven people are in the hospital. now, we understand that the ages of the victims range in the 50s, 60s, and beyond. the coroner's office began to take away remains on sunday afternoon, and they're still in the process of identifying the people who died. now, it took about 12 hours for police to find this person in torrance about 30 miles southwest of monterey park. this after police say that he had gone from this dance hall in

monterey park to a different one in alhambra, a city north of where we are. that's where law enforcement says that a person matching the same suspect description went in armed and that a couple of people actually wrestled with him, tackled him, and they were able to recover the weapon that he had. and that's how police were able to also recover that weapon and begin to trace who this person might be. now, this community is still reeling and stunned after this mass shooting happened just after the first day of the city of month ray park's huge lunar new year festival that had more than 100,000 people on these streets. and many of the people speaking at the press conference, local leaders, were at those festivities just a couple of hours before this tragedy. they have reassured the community that they are now safe, that the person that police say died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound when police cornered him in torrance, that person is no

longer with us, as they put it and that there's no longer a threat to the community. and this is, indeed, a huge blow to a predominantly asian community in monterey park here, again, about to celebrate the lunar new year. supposedly a time for joy, for health and prosperity, instead having to mourn the loss of their neighbors and loved ones. natasha chen, cnn, monterey park, california. >> i'm joined now by cnn's senior law enforcement analyst charles ramsey. he's a former washington, d.c. police chief and former philadelphia police commissioner. thank you, sir, for being with us. >> quite all right. >> now, i know i speak for both of us when i say we are sickened by the constant mass shootings in this country and this time the shooter took his own life after killing ten people in monterey park, california. what more are you learning about this tragedy? >> well, it seems -- at least

it's beginning to kind of shape up as being something personal as far as this individual is concerned. now, what's unusual about this is the age of the shooter, 72 years old. this is not your typical mass shooting scenario but just as deadly. >> and we've learned, too, apparently the suspect used to teach dancing at this studio and met his ex-wife there apparently. we also know the public helped subvert another shooting. how does it help police to nail down a motive, and why is motive so important in mass shootings like this? >> i mean motive is very important because we learn from each of these incidents what to

look for, for the unfortunate reality that there'll be a next one. but right now they don't have an actual motive. they're still going through a lot of documents that were seized from the van, probable executing search warrants maybe at a residence, looking for any kind of social media footprint interviewing family, friends, and so forth trying to pinpoint a motive. as this thing is developing now it's beginning to look like more of a personal type situation, more of a domestic situation or something like that. and of course originally everyone thought immediately it was probably a hate crime, but it's really starting to really show it's really not bad, it's something else involved. we just don't know exactly what. >> yes, understood. and what more are you learning about the weapon used in this mass shooting, of course how the suspect got hold of it? >> well, it wasn't an assault rifle apparently. they're still doing the

background on the various weapons that were seized as a result of this particular incident. i don't think they really have a firm handle on all this yet, whether or not they were purchased legally or whether he got his hands on it illegally, but the bottom line is it was more than one type of weapon involved. you know, earlier you mentioned the second location where the patrons actually took the gun from the individual. those folks are heroes. i mean, they -- they literally saved other lives because there's no doubt that he would have gone there and done the same thing that he did in monterey park. but because they were alert, because they saw him, because they were able to stop him from actually being able to fire any shots, they saved an awful lot of lives. >> they most certainly did. so what needs to happen in this country to stop these mass shootings from happening again and again? >> well, they're going to continue to happen again and

again. and, you know, right after it happens, of course you get your elected officials that make all kinds of comments, prayers things like that, but the bottom line is nothing actually happens that makes a difference. you're not going to stop every shootic from taking place. there are so many guns in the united states right now that you're going to have some fall into the hands of wrong people. but that doesn't mean that there aren't steps we can take to really guard against the opportunity for people to get their hands on guns that should not have them either because they're suffering from some kind of mental illness that would make them a danger to themselves or others or they're just criminals and should not have a handgun. but we just tend not to make any real effort towards trying to pass any kind of legislation or taking any action that will really have an impact on this. and so i'm not optimistic that this is going to be any

different from what's happened in the past. and the only thing we do know is that there will be another one. it's just a question of where and a question of when. >> yeah, that is the sobering reality, isn't it? charles ramsey, thanks for joining us. >> thank you. u.s. president joe biden ordered flags to fly at half staff at the white house and other federal buildings out of respect for the victims. they will remain at half staff until sunset thursday. mr. biden promised federal support for california investigators, and he offered condolences to the victims and acknowledged the impact on asian american pacific islander communities. this as the white house braces for fallout after six more classified items were found friday during a search of his delaware home. the discoveries friday are in addition to approximately 20 items found previously at mr. biden's home and his private office in washington. the white house insists the

president is committed to a transparent investigation. cnn's jessica schneider has more. >> reporter: after that fbi search on friday lasting 13 hours, the white house is getting their message out that they have been fully cooperative in the past few weeks with federal officials. so the president's personal attorney, bob bauer, he stressed in a statement that they did provide prompt access to biden's wilmington home. and it's clear that bidens attorneys have been communicating with the team for the u.s. attorney handling this investigation out of chicago, john lausch before it's handed over to the special counsel. crucially here friday's search was not conducted with a search warrant or subpoena. and of course that marks a stark contrast to the search conducted in august at mar-a-lago. that was undertaken after months of back and forth with doj officials and trump's team. and it was after a subpoena and ultimately a search warrant was

issued all because trump and his team were not handing over what turned out to be national defense information, also classified material. so that's why possible obstruction has been raised as a possible offense in that case. you contrast that with biden's team and they've made clear they've been working with federal authorities on this since november when some of the classified material turned up in his office where president biden had his term end as vice president. and notably from his statement the president's personal attorney said once attorneys found classified material at biden's wilmington home january 11th they immediately contacted doj officials and they stopped any of their own subsequent searches and that was until the fbi moved in on friday. the fact classified material keeps turning up has really complicated things for the white house, and it really does make clear this special counsel investigation has only gotten more involved. and because of that the big

question remains is this the only search that will happen, the one that happened on friday? or will other locations frequented by president biden be searched in the future? jessica schneider, cnn, washington. >> and earlier i discussed the political sparring over classified documents with cnn political commentator and former republican congressman charlie dent and political scientist and democratic strategist caroline heldman. i asked them about the investigations faced by both the current president as well as former president donald trump. >> we need to let these special counsels conduct their investigations, and we need to find out all the facts. there are differences in each case. donald trump has been uncooperative and defiant, and joe biden clearly has been cooperative. but it's also clear to me that we need to reform this whole system of classified materials. it seems that we classify far too much material and that far too many people have security

clearances. that is something that's bothered me for some time. and sometimes i've also questioned some of the classified briefings i have received over the years. frankly, many times i'd go into the classified briefing only to learn things i'd already found out about in an open source or in a newspaper somewhere. so i'm a bit concerned about how we overclassify in the united states. that said, it's inexcusable that the highest officials in our government from hillary clinton with her server where material ended up there and now of course donald trump and now joe biden, these folks have really mishandled classified material and there are many people at the much lower level in government who have lost their careers and livelihoods for much lesser infractions it would seem. and so i think we need to overhaul this system and really particularly at the highest levels of government. this shouldn't happen with three presidential candidates being nailed for this. >> and caroline, do you agree

that documents are overclassified here? and what procedural changes would you like to see? >> i do agree they're overclassified. i think what this has revealed is that millions of documents are classified at any given time in an active way in politics and that you have tens of thousands of people at the highest levels who have access to them. and as charlie is pointing out we do need to standardize this. how is it the national archives doesn't know what they should be receiving from a president who's leaving office? it's unprecedented that we have a sitting president and a former president being investigated for essentially the same thing as charlie points outright, their differences as you pointed out over the weeks there are differences. donald trump is being possibly investigated for espionage. he is possibly being investigated for lying to or having his attorneys lie to federal authorities. it's not the case with biden, but it's unprecedented that they're both being investigated

for the same either sloppy or intentional mishandling of documents. we need an electronic system and i don't know how you make that secure. that's the big challenge. >> our thanks again to charlie dent and caroline heldman for their analysis. u.s. president joe biden has picked a replacement for outgoing chief of staff ron klain. sources tell cnn he's expected to fill that role and being described as a master implementer. zients also served in the obama administration. klain is expected to step down in the coming weeks but a source says he'll remain close to the west wing. still to come this group of volunteers put themselves in danger to help civilians near the front line of ukraine. plus many afghans endure a

foreign ministers from the eu have arrived in brussels for talks on the war in ukraine. in the coming hours they are expected to discuss their support for the country as russia continues its assault. ukraine's foreign minister will join the meeting via video link to talk about the situation on the ground as well as his country's priorities. germany's foreign minister says her country, her government would not stop poland from supplying german made tanks to ukraine. poland offered the leopard 2 tanks after ukrainian officials asked the west for more modern weapons to counter russia. but so far berlin has been hesitant to provide tanks from its own arsenal. at the summit in paris german chancellor olaf scholz says all decisions on weapons deliveries would be made in coordination with ally. so let's get more now from cnn's

nada bashir. germany will now allow poland to send battle tanks to ukraine. and eu leaders are meeting today to discuss additional support. >> this is a significant shift in the message we have been hearing from germany of course in that meeting of defense chiefs on friday in germany. and there was significant pressure on the german government to offer that support, offer them modern tanks that ukraine has been appealing for. according to ukrainian officials this is the crucial element they need in order to support ukraine's defense efforts ahead of what is anticipated to be a fresh russian defensive in the spring. germany also crucially holds the export license for these tanks, and you heard from polish officials saying even if germany

refused to offer permission for poland to transfer those tanks they may go ahead and offer a smaller coalition on that front. but now we are hearing from german's foreign minister that they will not stand in the way of poland from transferring those tanks to ukraine. of course this is a significant shift. they say they haven't received a formal request just yet, but of course the focus of today's foreign affairs counsel will be very much focused on the transfer of tanks and other modern armament and artillery of support that the european nations can offer to ukraine. and this follows the announcement from germany of a new military aid package worth just over 1 billion u.s. dollars. and we heard from germany's chancellor olaf scholz he's been very clear germany stands in support of ukraine. take a listen. >> translator: wave constantly

expanded our supply with various weapons effective today and we have closely coordinated all these decisions with all our important allies and friends. with france, for example, with the usa, for example, with other countries in europe and of course with all those who are involved in this discussion. >> reporter: the united kingdom said already it'll be fulfilling its quota of tanks. although part of that consideration will be assessing some risks involved in engaging on that front and in particular whether or not this could lead to provocation or an escalation in the conflict. now, we've heard from the chairman of the russian state who says this could lead to serious escalation. and that is the concern, of course, for the most part up until this part we have seeninate yo members, european members supporting ukraine when it comes to ukraine's self-defense, of course. but when it comes to supporting ukraine on the offensive front there is a concern that could perhaps be seen as provocation

and could lead to further escalation in the conflict. >> many thanks for joining us. nearly 11 months into the war in ukraine a senior ukrainian official in the east says the armed forces are in control of current positions, but moving forward it is very difficult because the russians have brought up substantial reserves. ukrainian forces have been trying to advance on the city in the luhansk region of hopes of regaining the russian held cities. cnn's ben wedemen reports from eastern ukraine on a group of volunteers trying to help civilians near the front lines. >> reporter: down a well trodden path anatoly heads towards home perhaps for the last time. sasha, travel agent turned volunteer, will help him collect what he can for the journey to

kyiv. it's time to be with family. i want to see my grandchildren, i have four, he says. and my son just got drafted. neighbors will look after his chickens, goats, and dog. that's all, he says, let's go, guys, they'll start shelling now. he's leaving with a group of young ukrainians who deliver food and supplies to soldiers, front line communities and evacuate those who want to leave. they've had close calls, plenty. says sasha in bakhmut cluster bombs fell all around us, we ducked. god protected us. a year ago he managed a car parts store. >> when the war started since february 2022 we come together

and take one bus and gather some foods, some stuffs and make our visits to hot points. >> reporter: and hot these points are. they venture to three villages still under fire ravaged by months of shelling. they've come to this village looking for people. they heard reports that 27 were still here. so far, though, they haven't found any. finally, they find a door. people have been hiding here in shelter. the volunteers quickly get to work with no time to waste. we're always in the basement. we go there as soon as they start shelling, especially the last days. it's very, very hard.

returning to our top story now, the deadly mass shooting in monterey park, california. the los angeles county sheriff says the suspect has died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside a cargo van after a standoff with police on sunday. he's been identified as 72-year-old huu can tran and is accused of opening fire at a dance studio saturday night. at least ten people were killed, another ten injured in the

shooting that broke out during the lunar new year celebrations. the sheriff says tran went to another gathering in nearby al alhamra where some people wrestled the gun away from him. >> gun violence needs to stop. there's too much of it. we're all standing here tonight because an individual took the weapon and did the damage that we've talked about without repeating it. i think all of us need to take some ownership there. i think we really need to go back and look at what we do. i can tell you this, the status quo's not working, so we need to reexamine what we're doing and what may work better. and i hope that this tragedy

doesn't just go on a long list of many others that we don't even talk about until the next one comes up. the state of louisiana is also reeling from a mass shooting which took place early sunday. 12 people were shot in a batten rouge nightclub in what police are calling a targeted attack. the police chief says more people would have been shot if not for the quick action of officers on the scene. police are working with federal authorities to investigate the breakdown in security which allowed the shooter to get a gun into the club. well, meanwhile major cities across the u.s. have boosted security ahead of their lunar new year celebrations following the shooting in monterey park. in new york city police ramped up security presence at events out of an abundance of caution. police in philadelphia and washington, d.c. have also increased patrols. in china concerns about

covid haven't stopped millions from welcoming the year of the rabbit with widespread celebrations. millions of trips have been recorded as residents travel to see families of the lunar new year. in fact, state media report more than 26 million trips were reported on saturday alone. but there are fears that all that traveling could aid in the spread of covid. chinese officials are now reporting more than 12,000 new covid deaths in the week just before the new year. despite those fears many residents remain optimistic. those who gathered at this temple in beijing prayed for good fortune and health in the new year. >> translator: everybody's finance or life has been greatly affected by these three years of pandemic. now this is gone i can say the spring festival has made a significance. now everyone appreciates life

even more and this is the starting point for our hopes for the future. these are my thoughts. >> cnn's senior international correspondent ivan watson joins me now live from hong kong. ivan, what impact is this travel likely to have on covid infections across china? >> reporter: well, they're all over the country and there are concerns that the virus could spread even more. this is the biggest holiday of the year for china and people have not been able to celebrate it the way they're accustomed to due to the lockdowns, the travel restrictions internally in china throughout three years of the pandemic quarantines as well. sole there are people going home to see family members really for the first time in three years. the statistics that have been reported by state media indicate that on saturday as you mentioned some 26 million passenger trips in a single day, which is roughly 50% higher than

it was on the eve of the lunar new year holiday in 2022. so that gives you a sense of how many more people are on the move right now. it is still roughly 50% less than it was in 2019 before this terrible pandemic first hit china and then the rest of the world. the ministry of transport is anticipating that by the end of this 40-day period, this spring festival, you could have more than 2 billion trips around the country. just to give you a sense, again, of the size and magnitude of the travel that's going to be taking place. that said, the virus is still spreading. i mean, china had been locked down. suddenly the zero covid strategy was scrapped seemingly overnight, and the numbers of people being infected was enormous. the chief epidemiologist with the centers for disease control in china has gone on record saying he estimates 80% of the population has basically gotten

sick in the last month and a half, and the official figures for deaths in hospitals over the course of the last week, another 12,600 people dying of covid. that's on top of the roughly 60,000 people from the previous month. we're just going to have to watch to see how more rural, more far flunk parts of the country, how they may or may not be affected by this huge mass of humanity kind of moving around particularly in the areas that do not have such well-developed hospital systems and health care systems to treat illness. rosemary? >> that is a real concern, of course. ivan watson joining us live from hong kong, many thanks. we're getting a stark warning about conditions in afghanistan. the united nations says millions of people already on the brink of starvation are struggling to survive this winter. as michael holmes reports critics blame the taliban for making the crisis even worse.

>> arctic conditions, freezing snowfall in afghanistan has killed at least 78 people in the last eight days according to officials. cnn not able to independently verify that number. thousands of live stock reportedly froze to death according to the u.n. temperatures plunged to as low as minus 28 degrees celsius. this has millions of people in afghanistan face starvation according to the u.n. to eat or stay warm, that is the choice many afghan families are forced to make according to the international red cross. however, most afghans struggle to afford either. almost 20 million people in afghanistan suffer from hunger, the u.n. says, with 4 million women and children facing acute malnutrition. aid groups are attempting to provide help, but since december at least a half dozen major foreign aid groups have temporarily suspended operations

in afghanistan after the taliban banned women for working for ngos. women aid workers are essential to reaching other women and children in-house holds in afghanistan and providing them with services like food and warmth to survive the winter. but the taliban's decision has halted time critical support for afghans this winter. >> so we're trying, you know, to cover this gap but it has affected all our operations. in many cases we need fema staff, especially when it comes to see many families that they're women run. so for that we need female staff. and also there are some other ca cases. >> reporter: afghanistan's humanitarian crisis only deepened after the united states froze billions of dollars of the country's assets. billions in foreign aid evaporated all as more than 28 million afghans required immediate humanitarian

assistance according to the u.n. access to sources of warmth and food are scarce, and many afghan families are starving, dying. the taliban claims to cnn it has helped afghans affected. but even if that's so, for many it may be too little, too late amid fears the cold conditions will worsen. michael holmes, cnn. a day after massive protests across israel, a key ally of the prime minister is out of the cabinet. we'll have the latest on that and the growing anti-government demonstrations. back in just a moment. if your moderate to severe crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms are stopping you in your tracks... choose stelara® fromom the start... and d move toward relief after the first dose... with injections every two months.

pakistan has been hit with a massive power outage within the last few hours. officials say a break down in the national power grid has left much of the nation of up to 220 million people without electricity. the ministry of energy says system maintenance work is progressing rapidly and that power has been restored in a limited number of grids. pakistan endured another national grid break down two years ago in january 2021. we're joined live now from islamabad for more on this. what is it with this massive power outage across pakistan? >> reporter: rosemary, this is something we're trying to get answers to. we did get -- i mean pakistanis all woke up on a cold morning across the country to no power in their homes.

this again is not completely unusual because the country has been going through a cost of energy crisis. the country does have a regular power breakdowns, but nothing on this scale. from the north to south of the country there hasn't been any follow up for five or six hours. we're getting conflicting reports this could take 12 hours, could be immediately. we do not have any answers yet from government officials. we are getting information from traders in the city of qatar in the west of pakistan shops have not been able to open because people do not have enough fuel to back up their generators. and the fact many across pakistan cannot afford generators and the ones that can cannot afford the fuel used for those generators. we're seeing long lines across petrol stations across the country with people lining up to

get the fuel for their backup generators. they're also looking at people having electric backups which aren't really operating for as long as they can because it has already been over six hours since the power has been out. it is a developing story in a country of have and have-nots. this is country which for the past couple of months has been dealing with record inflation, dwindling foreign reserves. it's almost like it's the tip of the iceberg when it comes to problems plaguing pakistan's economy at the moment. rosemary? >> hopefully this can be fixed soon. many thanks. israel's prime minister has dismissed a key ally from all ministerial posts. the party is a key component of benjamin netanyahu's coalition but last week israel's high court ruled his appointment

cannot stand due to his past criminal convictions and his promise to retire from public life. his dismissal on sunday came a day after the largest turnout in so far of three weeks against protests of mr. netanyahu's government and planned judicial changes. more than 100,000 people rallied in tel aviv saturday and thousands more in other israeli cities. more now from jerusalem. >> reporter: benjamin netanyahu isn't even one month into his new term as israeli prime minister and he'll already have an empty ministers chair at his next cabinet meeting. forced to fire -- after he couldn't serve after previous convictions and his declaration to the court last year he'd not return to public office. netanyahu ultimately told derri
