through saturday of significant rainfall coming down the santa cruz mountains through the sierra, some spots could pick up 5 to 7 inches of rainfall. that could be enough to make flooding by itself. but the flooding will happen because the rain will melt some of the snow. this rain will fall on the snow that is still on the roofs of these houses and these houses are going to be in peril with this very heavy is snow on top. >> oh, yeah. chad myers, thank you. and thanks for joining me. i'm christine romans. "cnn this morning" starts right now. good morning, everyone. we're glad you're with us. it is a very busy morning. new overnight, mass missile strikes. ukrainians reported dead. energy infrastructure severely damaged. we're live in kyiv with the

latest. and mitch mcconnell hospitalized after a trip and fall. >> death toll rising in california. the historic snowstorm blamed for more bodies being found and now a new warning to residents, prepare for floods. nba ledgegend arrested, shawn k in connection with a drive by shooting. >> and president biden going bick. seeking to cut the deficit by $3 trillion. details on his plan to do it. why republicans say it will never happen. cnn this morning starts right now. we begin this morning with the war in ukraine. russia launching a barrage of missiles overnight. power knocked out. innocent civilians killed. the russians struck several major cities including the capitol of kyiv.

ukrainian officials say a russian missile obliterated homes and killed five people in the western city which is right on nato's doorstep. this is a photo of russian missiles rising up into the sky in the predawn hours. ukraine's military says russia lau launched more than 80 missiles in all. and the largest nuclear plant is completely disconnected because of that russian shelling. that's according to the energy company that runs it. we begin with our ivan watson live on the ground in kyiv. just a barrage overnight. and so far west. what can you tell us? >> good morning, poppy, this was a massive missile attack on ukraine's critical fr infrastructure. i'll give you an image of the severity of this. this was a piece of a missile that burned out these cars. it hit around 6:00 this morning, before dawn, and would have been

absolutely terrifying, the blast, for residents of this enormous apartment block up here. there are shattered windows and things like that. this is just one of the impact points. it does appear, judging by what the ukrainian military said this was a coordinated russian missile attack. at least 81 missiles of different kinds, cruise missiles, air launch missiles, sea launch missiles as well, the iranian drones that hit in cities from kyiv here, the capitol, to the west where five people were reported killed. the southern city of odesa, the northern city of kharkiv. and the power infrastructure is one of the targets of these strikes. and that is a trend that we have seen for months now with russia apparently trying to knock out power in this country. and 15% of power was, for example, knocked out here in

kyiv. another town about 150,000 people without electricity. i can just describe you to, traveling around kyiv today, it's business as usual. the restaurants are open. businesses are open. i think what we see here underscores how haphazard and dangerous and scary it is when the russians fire these missiles. tom, spin around here real fast. i mean, there is a children's playground right here. fortunately, no kids would have been here at 6:00 in the morning. the ukrainian military says that they were able to use air defense to knock down at least 34 of the cruise missiles and four of those iranian made so-called suicide drones. take a listen to what a spokesperson for ukraine's air force has to say about the vulnerability they have to some of these russian missiles. >> translator: as you can see,

the attack readied our scale and using such different types of missiles. we see this time as many as six were used. this is an attack like i don't remember seeing before. different types of aircraft were used. strategic, long range, mig 31. the there were 81 missile launches. there were x-22 which we can't shoot down. we can't shoot down the kenzal either. >> as he said, they have no defenses against some of these russian missiles. back to you, poppy. >> before you go, we just heard from the director of national intelligence testifying before congress yesterday talking about real concerns about russia unlikely to make major gains but to continue this war of attrition, to continue killing civilians, to continue trying to make this impossible for ukraine to live through. and also real concerns about, you know, ukraine's efforts and counter offensive.

you're seeing that play out on the ground right now. >> consider the launch. what does it accomplish snt power is still on in ukraine. so what does it really accomplish? it keeps the air defenses active? it definitely terrifies local people. i was talking to an elderly lady who walk past. she said i have no words for how frightening it was at 6:00 in the morning when this missile part smashed down here. but to date, the russian military has not been able to knock out the electricity in ukraine despite the scale of the destruction and the battle that's been going on. they have not succeeded in this. though they try again and again and again.

unless they're trying to hobble the economy here. >> sayer terrifying and scary t new front of the children's playground. >> joining us is a former member of the join st staff at the pentagon. let's talk about the scale of this attack. it spans the full interior of ukraine. talk about where the strikes hit and why russia chose these particular targets. >> yeah, don. good morning. well, you know, as ivan mentioned in his report, it really struck all across ukraine. you can see from the west to the northeast in kharkiv and down south in it odesa, plus, of course, the capital in kyiv. all of these areas are critical to ukraine from an economic standpoint. many of them do not have military installations. the very fact that they're being hit indicates that the russian strategy is one in which they're going after all the different civilian infrastructure installations that they can hit.

it can be a fatal inconvenience when they strike in apartment areas and other inhabited areas. the. >> let's talk about lviv. it seemed to be as, you know, a safe space here. this is one of the five areas there. so this is a residential area. thought to be a safe space. request would russia strike there? >> so the reason for that, don, besides spreading terror and indicating there is no safe haven, notice how close it is to the polish boarder. it is the main supply route in for a lot of the weapons that nato and the u.s. are supplying to the ukrainians. it's a warning in some respects to ukraine that their supply chain can be hit by russians and it is right smack in the middle of that. >> let's look at the nuclear

power plant. the state of emergency. this company says that the nuclear power plapt has been comp com completely disconnected from the power grid due to russian shelling. that continues to be major concern here. >> yeah, it sure does, don. if there is no power to the nuclear power plant, that limits the ability and actually make it impossible to cool the reactor. so if the reactor is not cooled, then the possibility exists of a nuclear accident of one type or another. and to use the term accident is overstating things. it is definitely a serious concern and could result in some radiation leaving the area kind of likfukushima in japan. >> this is your expertise. we've been discussing this and we've been talking about the types of weapons that russia is

using here in the strikes including cruise missiles, anti-aircraft missiles. what do you know about it? >> yeah. so there are a lot of different weapons systems. the ukrainian spokesman mentioned, there were a lot of them. the x-22 this is designed by the russians to go after ships. this is something that is not designed to attack civilian targets. it is not designed to even attack formations on the ground. but that is, you know, one of the key things. then right under that, the x-47, that is an air launch cruise missile. hyper sonic missile, can travel up to 12 times the speed of sound. they don't have nuclear warheads in this case, but the conventional ones cause a lot of damage and they have no air defenses against them. >> all right, colonel, thank you. we appreciate you joining us. later on we'll speak with the

national security council coordinator at the white house. that is john kirby. also overnight, we're tracking breaking news out of washington. senate minority leader mitch mcconnell has been hospitalized after he tripped and fell at a hotel in washington. what do we know and not know from his team so far about what happened? >> yeah. what we know at this moment, kaitlan, is that he did suffer a fall at the waldorf astoria hotel following a private dinner. this evening leader mihm come tripped in a local hotel during a private dinner. he has been admitted to the hospital where he is receiving treatment. now mccanalonnell is the 81 yea old and he is the longest serving republican leader in that body. but there is just a lot we don't know right now about his condition, about how long he'll have to be at the hospital and also comes at a time when the

senate is narrowly divided right now. you have dianne feinstein out with shingles and fetterman is being treated at walter reed right now. but right now what we know is that mcconnell suffered a fall last night and hospitalized after that fall. >> he's in our thoughts. in the broader impact of what this means, we had the conversations with senator fetterman hospitalized. senator feinstein, what does it mean for senate leadership given if he does need quite some time to recover? >> it's a narrowly divided body. he is revered in his conference.

someone they go to for advice. someone who decides the republican strategy in the senate. obviously his absence for any period of time will have an impact on the republican conference. of course, you also have senator john thune who is the next in line. he is the republican whip who, you know, will be expected to fill that vacuum. but we just don't know right now. we don't know how serious of a fall this was. >> lauren fox, keep us updated. thank you so much. i want to bring in our political commentator for this. we're -- we don't know a lot. we're hoping to learn more and wishing for the best for senator mcconnell. but this does have a significant impact potentially on how things work in washington for any senator, but especially one as powerful in his caucus as mitch mcconnell. >> for sure. we should keep in mind it is still a closely divided senate. we have the vice president come in and break some ties on judicial nominations of no particular moment. that's how closely we still have

to keep in mind. 51-49 is nothing to sneeze at. all it takes is one or two to not be in the chamber and then a lot of things can change. the larger point, the interesting thing about mcconnell is that we don't know where the senate would go without him. he's, you know, longest serving republican leader in history. where they might go, look at somebody like senator rick shot. he made a challenge to take the leadership away. and he put forward some policies that were dramatically unpopular anticipate shouldn'ted aside. dwoept k we don't know where that leadership would go. we may find out in the next few weeks. >> is there anything that they're working on now that would be in jeopardy because of a mitch mcconnell absence? that is of critical importance? >> i think, you know, broadly speaking, trying to figure out what the strategy is going to be. i mean, you snow, senator biden, i should say president biden, is putting together and getting ready to announce he's making a speech today that is going to

really, i think, sort of lay the groundwork, set the table for an announcement for president. where are the republicans going to go? what is the answer going to be? there is a relative amount of co chaos on the house side. what are the policies we're going to pick on? again, senator scott talks about budget deficit reduction and straight into maybe we need to cut medicare and social security. third rail of politics a disaster swept aside. where do they go now? we don't know. >> i was going to say, we know the longest serving, you know, senate republican leader in history and important voice this week following that fox news. >> this is what the senate is. this is what the senate is supposed to be. the median age in the u.s. senate is close to 65. there are a lot of older members

there. but they represent an -- you know, whatever their politics, they represent institutional continuity, sort of way of cooling off some of the passions that are dividing the nation and so forth. we already saw a little bit of that. the whole if he of trying to relitigate january 6 and this attack, you know, you're relying on elders like mitch mcconnell to say, again, even if you don't like his politics, stand up and say, no, that was a disaster. that was something where we're going to stick to the facts. we're not going to see a repeat of. this we have to safeguard the institutions of the country. >> yeah. >> and you're right. he's saying it was critical what mitch mcconnell said that he is stand big police and the police assessment and rather than the fox news assessment. >> yeah. >> quite outspoken. still a lot we don't know. he was at the capitol until late last night. they were overturning that d.c. crime bill. they were working until late evening. we'll wait to learning more. stay with us. we want to bring you back to talk about more news happening.

there is so much breaking overnight. coming up, the louisville police department used unreasonable tactics including neck restraints and police dogs and tasers. that is all from a new report from the justice department. we'll tell you more of what this investigation found. plus, former nba star shawn kemp arrested in connection with a drive by shooting incident. we'll have details straight ahead. 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 r code! ...the host doesn't stay with you. it looks exactly like the pictuture. because without t privacy in your vacation home... it's a full logg cabin guys. ...it isn't really a vacation... we can snuggle up by the fire. ...is it? wow, oh my- [birds chirping] only at vanguard, you're more than just an investor—you're an owner.

this just in. south korea says north korea fired a missile this morning from the area towards the water off the coast of the korean peninsula. this was fired from the yellow sea. it happened around 6:20 p.m. local time. south korea is working closely with the united states trying to strengthen surveillance and vigilance. we'll keep you posted. a new justice department report issuing a staging review to the louisville police department three years after the botched raid that killed breonna taylor. it violates constitutional rights particularly those of black officers. >> some officers demonstrated disrespect of the people they are sworn to protect. some have videotaped themselves throwing drinks at pedestrians from their cars and insulted

people with disabilities and called black people monkeys, animal, and boy. >> it is a scathing report. ryan young live for us in atlanta with more. ryan, good morning to you. it's also, i mean, a fullsome, long report he laid out. and the specifics what he talked about, calling people monkeys and outside of their name. what is the response been like? >> that's one thing that stands out to me. if you think about it, we're saying out loud a report says that officers videotaped themselves calling black people monkey and boy. when you put this all together in this report, it now shows what you citizens are telling us for some time in that area. they don't feel like they're respected by the police department. it goes on to say and talks about a lack of leadership and the fact that a lot of times officers weren't held accountable for their actions. we should put on the screen the things that this report also highlighted. what we do know now is there was also a use of excessive force. unjustified neck restraints,

unreasonable use of police dogs, tasers, and searches based on invalid warrants. one thing that stands out to us about the warrants is in this report, sometimes when they show up to private homes, they did not always knock and identify themselves as police officers. obviously, that stands out to us. then you can see discriminates against people with disabilities. as you talk to people in the black community and for a long time, when they had issues with this police department in particular, they had no one to go to and complaining at city hall and community leaders about changing things within the police force. we now know this report is scathing. and there are people ground who are hoping things change pretty quickly. don? >> breonna taylor's family, what are they saying? >> you can understand why they would be shock and disbelief about. this they're happy to have this report. but when you see the carnage this created, the demonstrations that were there and the fact they lost a loved one, you can understand the pain in the mother's voice. >> it's hard breaking to know

that everything you've been saying from day one has to be said again through this manner, you know? that it took this to even have somebody look into this department. >> yeah, don, obviously the justice department drilled down on this. now time for the community and reporters, honestly, to go in and drill on what is going on in that police department right now and what changes will be made for that community. >> all right. ryan young. thank you very much for that. appreciate it. >> all right. reading through this is just -- 90-page report is stunning because what seems to me the lack of change and lack of accountability that happened after breonna taylor was killed. but a few months after she was killed in 2020, the mayor of louisville told me this is a time for change and it will happen. did it happen in the city? >> this is a country that went through tremendous trauma in 2020 over exactly these kinds of

issues. remember the historic george floyd killing protests? and there were a lot of different department that's made a lot of changes. some big and some small. this tool, the outside look by the federal justice department of the consent decrees that make departments change in cleveland and new orleans and all over the country, this is an essential tool. it really sort of shows that departments can not just reform themselves. even with the best of intentions, even with the prettiest words from the mayor or the local elected leadership. it really does take outside force. there are 18,000 police departments in this country. each of them has their own sort of dynamic, bias that shot through so many of them, especially in the big cities. it really is incumbent on congress, frankly, to put something in place that is a little bit more permanent. what is done by a justice department can be undone by the next one. remember, during the trump administration, these consent decrees is one of the first

things they did under jeff sessions. they removed them. they announced it was bad policy and not doing it anymore. arguably that, sets the stage for dysfunctional department. >> and also only happens after something bad happens. >> look, i think you bring up a good point. this is way beyond louisville. it's beyond memphis. it's beyond minneapolis. it's beyond ferguson. it is the entire country. in 2020 in front of us. we had three high profile case that's we can remember at this point. breonna taylor and arbery and george floyd all in our faces. i remember writing about this and what stuck out to me as i spoke to experts and talked about the history of policing in this country and the patience that people of color have had with people saying go slow. one expert that wrote in my book says from the beginning police as we know it hasn't been about maintaining public safety but maintaining public order. with that comes militarized police departments and police

officers who feel as you see in memphis and louisville, they can do anything, especially to people who have no power. >> that's right. we know that the scrutiny has never been the way to post it. one fact that always balls me over in, the 1994 crime bill, there is a provision that says we must get an annual report through the justice department from local departments about how many people have been killed by the police. it's never been enforced. so, you know, year after year after year, since 1994, even now, it's, you know, "the washington post," the guardian, media organizations, it's activists who are out there piecing together bits of local news that they pick up by scanning google or something and try to figure out just where we are right now. the fact that the country hasn't really sort of figured out how to be serious about this in an institutionalized sustained way. it's okay to protest. it's okay to make changes, name a black police chief is another

big strategy if you look city by city. there seem to be a lot of black police chiefs out there. isn't that great? it doesn't seem to have moved the needle in too many cases. >> such a good point. this is not the last report. the justice department is investigating discriminatory practices in several other major cities. >> that's the main one that is starting. very similar thing that the justice department is doing. >> great questions. great commentary. thank you for that. also this morning, the state of california has cut ties with walgreens over access to an abortion pill. we'll tell how much the pharmacy chain is just about to lose. >> speaking of what is happening in washington with mitch mcconnell, now out for hedge rea -- health reasons, we're going to go to the white house. president biden is about to unveil his plan to reduce the federal deficit by $3 trillion. how republicans are likely to respond to that. it's coming up. susan. honey. yeah. i respect that. but that cough looks pretty bad. try this robitussin honey. the real honey youou love, plus the powerful cough rerelief you need.

california is, quote, done with walgreens. that's according to governor gavin newsome who announced that

the company -- after the company said they would not dispense abortion medication, newsome's office says california is not going to renew a $54 million contract with the company set to take effect in may. we have more. >> reporter: california's governor gavin newsome is declining to renew a $54 million contract with walgreens after they capitulated to 21 states attorneys general warning the retail pharmacy to discontinue mailing abortion medication to their states. newsome tweeting, we're done. we're serious in not investing in companies that cave to the extremist agenda of the gop. >> the governor is seems to be id i had logically shutting them down. >> they're deeply disappointed

in california's decision and said the decision not to renew was made off of false and misleading information. >> to say because of politics in some states we're going to deny basic health care to women is shameful. i think that for the state of california to put our purchasing dollars where our values are is completely appropriate. >> reporter: abortion medication is used in more than half of all procedures nationwide. california's decision comes at an already tense time as a texas judge will be deciding whether to outright ban the abortion medication. the 21 attorneys general are arguing that mailing drugs like this violates the 1873 federal law. it prohibited sending anything that pertains to abortions through u.s. mail. in four states, kansas, iowa,

montana, and alaska, abortion medication is legal. ealier this week, wall green plans to dispense the medication in any jurisdiction where it is legally permissible to do so. despite this statement, the backlash has been split for the company. in chicago, protesters flooded the streets outside a walgreens to mark international women's day. >> it is unacceptable for women to be left at the mercy of a patchwork of state laws governing their ability to access reproductive care. >> and where it stands today, this multimillion dollar contract with walgreens provides medication to inmates in california's correctional system. so by not renewing this contract, the state is essentially showing where it stands when it comes to abortion and abortion medication. the governor saying he's not afraid of using the state's economic power to show where

they stand. california, he says, is on track to become the fourth largest economy in the world. the money here in california could make a difference. >> absolutely. thank you so much. >> i want to bring in our chief business correspondent christine romans. good morning. >> good morning. >> basically, newsome is saying we are done. but this has ramifications really beyond california. >> it does. he's really highlighting this. he's saying that they're taking a stand against corporations who cave, cave to extremists and cut off critical access for women. that's where walgreens -- or that's where california stands on. this but this is bigger than california. you have the 21 states here that are pressuring this company and other companies about sending this drug to their states. and walgreens says they're unfairly singled out here. but all of the drugstore chains are very closely watching the legal developments and considering what they're going to have to do about this also.

>> can you explain? it is certainly not clear to me, it's no the clear to a lot of folks. walgreens said in the piece, you got it wrong. you misunderstand what we're doing, governor. what is walgreens doing vis-a-vis california and other states and this pill? >> so it's not about california. it's about other states where these state attorney generals, 21 state attorney generals wrote a letter to walgreens and said we do not want you to send this drug into our state. even a couple of states where medication abortion is still legal and accessible. but you have conservative lawmakers suing to overturn it. there are legal challenges and also from texas whether the fda can offer -- for 20 years this pair of drugs has been accessible and authorized by the fda for 20 years. and that now is the subject of a lawsuit. that means these companies, these drugstore companies could be in the middle of a situation where the fda is fighting for

its right to be able to authorize the drugs in the first place. it's a mess. after roe v. wade was overturned, it opened a can of worms for medication abortion which the companies provide the drugs for. >> there is no constitution -- the court said there is no constitutional right to this anymore. on every level that has an impact. >> and there's a very aggressive campaign by some of these lawmakers and some states to go further. to go further than just overturning of roe v. wade and make this medication abortion. majority is medication abortions in this country. the companies found themselves in the middle of it. it is a place they don't want to be. none of them want to be in the middle of what is a fraught political and legal fight over the access to this medicine. >> christine romans, thank you very much. >> you're welcome. >> happening today, president biden will release the annual budget proposal. p it's expecteded t to map out he

plans to reduce the federal budget by $3 billion. taxes, taxes, taxes. that's how you do it. >> exactly. we are waiting on the full details to be released later today. but we know the major components of president biden's budget that is coming. we know that he's going to call on cutting the deficit by some $3 trillion. this is notable because recently he had been talking about that dollar figure being more like $2 trillion. this is a lot more aggressive than what he was talking about. we know that he wants the cuts to come from, in part, taxes. he did say no tax increases on anybody making less than $400,000 a year much he also wants to allow medicare to negotiate more drug prices. deficit reductions come from that will be put right back into the medicare program. we also learned overnight that he wants to boost federal funding for childcare and early

education. expanding tax cuts for business that's provide childcare for workers. if all of the ideas sound familiar, that is because these are some of the top domestic priorities that we have heard the president talking about over the last two years. so really, this is a budget document but it also is a blueprint of some of the president's top priorities and agenda items. >> philip, m.j., our colleague phil also sat down with the office of management and budgets and asked about the deficit reduction part of all. this let's listen to that exchange. >> i think what i'm interested in, does that underscore the fact that president believes at this point in time that the current level of debt and deficit is unsustainable for the u.s. economy? >> what we want to make clear is you can do investment in american people. childcare, paid leave. food assistance. health care. all while bringing down the deficit. but do you have to ask the

wealthy in this country to pay their fair share. there's a vision here. there is a contrast. you can be fiscally responsible and invest in american people. or you can pull the rug out from people by going after programs that people absolutely need. >> but does the white house expect this budget to get passed? >> there is no expectation this budget is going to get passed. it is not going anywhere on capitol hill. it is controlled by republicans. to give you a sense of how much this is really a political exercise, consider the fact that the president is going to be traveling to the important swing state of pennsylvania to unroll his budget in a speech by suspect will sound a lot like a political campaign speech. as we heard, the omb director told phil there, this is a way for the white house and the president to lay out the groundwork for the very important political contrast that democrats and president

biden would like to continue making between democrats and republicans heading to 2024. also more narrowly speaking, this, of course, is the beginning, really, of president biden and his upcoming negotiations with house speaker kevin mccarthy on raising the debt ceiling as well. >> and there's that. m.j. lee, thank you very much. ahead, more mayhem in the sky. a fight breaking out on a southwest flight in dallas brit even takes off. >> so get the allergy medication ready. allergy season hitting earlier than expected this year. a lot of people sniff wiling ard the set. >> is the climate crisis to blame? >> big allergy sufferer. i take it every day. of

. happened again. another wild airline incident. this time a fight breaking out between two passengers on a

southwest flight just before takeoff. one man putting the other in a headlock. calling obscenities before punches were thrown. passenger on the flight tells cnn the man in the tan jacket said the other man approached his family aggressively. >> tell me what happened. tell them what you did. sit down for you approaching my familiarly. i will will die for my family. >> sir! >> i will beat your. [ beep ] >> ed, good morning. there video gives us a full picture of what happened on this flight. what can you tell us? >> good morning, don. things clearly escalated quickly. all this happened before the plane even left the gate here at dallas love field on monday. and as you mentioned, according to the witnesses spoke with cnn and it had to do with an
