remember seeing before. different types of aircraft were used by strategic, long range, mig 31. there were 81 missile launches. >> wow. we wake up and we're shocked to hear about it. folks there in ukraine are right in the middle of it. and there are people that have died. good morning, everyone. thank you for joining us. russian missiles raining down across ukraine. knocking out power, killing civilians and striking cities like kyiv which are far away from the actual fighting. we're going to go there live. >> also this morning, senate minority leader mitch mcconnell hospitalized after tripping and following at a washington, d.c., hotel. and no relief for california after deadly blizzards trapped people for more than a week and the snow as you can see here, the state is bracing for heavy snow and flooding. we have the latest. "cnn this morning" starts right

now. >> we begin this morning, this hour with russia unleashing a massive barrage of missiles across ukraine. the strikes killing innocent civilians and knocking out power far away from the front lines. several major cities including the capital, kyiv. it looks like the russians are targeting the country's power supply to make the ukrainian people suffer. ukrainian officials say russian missile destroyed homes and killed at least five people in the western city of lviv which is right on nato's doorstep. for context, it is more than 600 miles away from the fierce fighting in bakhmut where they're holding out against relentless russian assault. the missiles launching up across the border from russian soil. ivan watson is live on the ground in kyiv this morning. ivan, hello. president zelenskyy is saying that putin is once again trying to terrorize civilians.

>> yeah, good morning, don. this was -- in the words of the commander of the ukrainian arms forces, a massive missile attack on ukraine's critical infrastructure. and what i'm showing you here is just the impact of just one of the impact points we're hearing is a part of a missile that came down in a residential neighborhood just next to an enormous apartment block here. the residents woke up around 7:00 this morning to cars on fire and spraying metal bits around here, shattering windows here. again, this is just one of the impact points. the ukrainian military says 81 different kinds of missiles and drones were fired at different regions and cities across this country overnight. the ukrainian air defenses were able to shoot down the missiles and four of the iranian made

killer drones that are used in these cases. the authorities and number of different cities have said that it was electric power stations that appeared to have been targeted. it shows you how deadly and dangerous it can be when russia fires scores of deadly missiles across a country. the city had the power knocked out about 150,000 people without power. here in kyiv, 15% of the city's power is knocked out. i have to tell you, i spoke with a woman and her adult daughter here. they said after this terrifying incident this morning, 7:00 this morning, they still went to work. one of them went to teach. the other went to work at a bank. they put it, they kind of been immunized after a year of war to terrifying instances like this.

don? >> they haven't gotten used it to but just part of their lives right now. ivan, i have to ask you. this attack feels bigger, feels more widespread than the shelling we've seen over the last few months. the why now? what's going on? >> in isn't the first time that russia targeted ukrainian cities with the missile attacks. but it doesn't seem to be able to sustain these attacks all the time. they seem to take place every couple of weeks. they want to absolutely make life unlivable here during the winter, knock out electricity, make ukrainians freeze as i heard some russians say. again, the power is back on. people are going to work. the ukrainian government will argue that this is an attempt to terrorize ukrainian civilians and to some degree, it has. people will not be able to sleep

as well. everybody i spoke to said they're not going anywhere. that includes a woman from a 7-month-old baby. that baby was born in ukraine during the war and that family is not leaving. >> hard to believe the places closer to poland were safe spaces. but no safe spaces when you're at war. appreciate your reporting. thank you. be safe. let's pick up there where ivan left off with retired army major mike lions. thank you for being here. you just see on the map, right, everything. no place spared really. no part of the country spared. but you're nodding your head at something ivan said. >> yeah. the fact that they couldn't sustain these. even though they come, they come from the sea. they come from the sky, from the air, they're coming from all different places. they come in waves. they attack first with drones to overwhelm the air defense platform. that hits first. then they bring in the missile traveling at mack 12. nothing can knock that out of

the sky right now. they start this one day and then don't do it for a few weeks. >> russia can't sustain it. >> i think it's about forgetting about what is going on there and focus energy torts trying to infrastructure. >> what we also heard as we played for people at the top of the show is that these were different. different range missiles, different weapons used than russia typically is using. different airplanes. >> right. >> i don't think russia looks at it like we look at it with regard to different targets systems for different weapons systems. i think they go war, whatever is available they use. i think that's what they're down to. they're out of their inventory on some of them. for example, that missile, they have not as many many you would think they should v they have to keep them somewhat in the background. i think they're not concerned about what the target is or how they come. they just go war. >> do you agree with the assessment that they are testifying before congress yesterday said the expectation of the united states is not that russia can make significant territorial gains, but this can be what we also heard the head

of nato say a few weeks ago, the sustained war after trigs. -- of attrition. but who can last longer is the question? and does russia not have the advantage if it's a war of attrition? >> they do. right noi, tw, that's exactly w is happening. russia is attacking ukraine's capability to wage war, not necessarily ability to wage war. there are things with he can do. the first thing is a patriot missile. it can shoot out those hyper sonic missiles coming. we promised them one back in december when the president said. they need three, four, five. every one of these major cities, critical infrastructure needs to be protected by that. but tend at the end of the day, matching up to what russia is doing if we go to that war of attrition. >> thank you very much, mike lions. we'll speak with the national counsel coordinator for strategic coordination. he'll be with us in less than an hour. as we wait for that, overnight, more news out of washington after senate minority

leader mitch mcconnell was hospitalized after he fell at a hotel in washington. i want to bring in our congressional correspondent lauren fox. lauren, what do we know about his condition now that he is still in the hospital based on the latest update we got from his staff? >> yeah. i mean, kaitlan, this is an on going issue. we're trying to get more information this morning on what the top republican in the u.s. senate's condition is this morning. but what we know right now is last night at the waldorf astoria, he tripped and this happened around a private dinner at that hotel. i want to read a statement from the office saying this evening leader mcconnell tripped at a local hotel during a private dinner. he's been admitted to the hospital where he is receiving treatment. now mitch mcconnell is the top republican in the u.s. senate. the longest serving republican leader in that body. but one thing to keep in mind here, this comes as the senate is narrowly divided between republicans and democrats.

and as democrats have two of their members who are not currently in the u.s. senate because they are receiving their own medical care. that is senator dianne feinstein who is dealing with shingles as well as senator john fetterman, the pennsylvania democrat who has been at walter reid hospital receiving in patient care for clinical depression. thp comes amid multiple absences in the u.s. senate. we'll keep you updated on what more we are learning on the mcconnell's condition this morning. kaitlan? >> yeah. absolutely. we're thinking of the senate minority leader, hoping for a quick recovery there. lauren fox, thank you. let us know if there is any update. 34 countries under states of emergency. 34 counties, i should say, under states of emergency this morning. immense snow banks trap san bernardino county residents in their homes who fear they'll run out of food and supplies. it's going to happen soon. the brace is also bracing for another powerful storm. forecasters say this one could

bring more devastating flooding. i want to turn to our cnn meteorologist. good morning to you. biggest concern for residents right now, natasha? >> don, the biggest concern is flooding in the foothill ranges and coastal areas that got unusually heavy snow pack this season. the rains yalereally coming int this region later this evening. what a winter it's been for californians, so many storms in a row. some of them, as you mention, trapped and still recovering from the last one. barely catching a break before this next event comes in. >> reporter: california already fre reeling from a season of deadly storms is staring down the threat of more extreme weather. >> rains is coming. there is nowhere for the rain to go. all i know is the culverts are completely blocked with ice and snow. piled high. >> reporter: more than 100

inches of snow has fallen in the san bernardino mountains where 12 deaths have been reported since february 25th. according to the county sheriff's department, only one death appears to be officially weather related from a traffic accident. many survivors are trapped in their homes without food. sheriff's deputies are going door to door to deliver essentials to those who can't get out. parts of the state are preparing for a strong string of storms known ass an atmospheric winter. >> the wind causes trees to just snap. >> the weather prediction center says heavy rain and all that melting snow could cause major flooding. more than 17 million people across central and northern california including the san francisco bay area and sacramento and parts of nevada are under flood watches ahead to have day's storm. >> we have saturated ground still from all the weather that we've seen over the last two months. and then when you add in some

strong winds, those will take down trees. the trees will take down wires and that leads to power outages. >> reporter: some people were told by emergency services to have two weeks of essentials stocked up ahead of the storm. in places like santa cruz, county, emergency services are telling residents to get ready for any evacuation orders as rivers and creeks are expected to overflow. >> if there's an evacuation warning, we'll take the cats and go to a friend's house. >> reporter: i talked to a caltrans spokesperson about the region north of here near the nevada state line. they have had such a challenge keeping interstate 80 open this winter season with jack knifed big rigs and spinouts. i asked him what are they expecting for this upcoming storm? he told me chaos. don? >> natasha chen, thank you very much. so why is all of this happening? let's go to meteorologist chad meyers. he joins us again in the weather

center. what on earth is happening in california? why does it continue to happen? >> the pattern changed. now we're in a tropical like system as she called it. atmospheric river. we used to call it pineapple express when i went to school. back here all the way from almost hawaii why the pineapple express term came from. and now that moisture, that tropical moisture is going to run into california. and run on top in warmer air on top of that snow that is already on the ground. if you have feet of snow on your roof, all of a sudden, that's going to get very, very heavy. that snow is going to absorb the rainfall. and then in the higher elevations, it will wash away some of that snowfall. so rain on snow will begin to fill up parts of the san joaquin valley, towards sacramento where our reporter was.

the snow is all the way down to 2500 feet. the rain will be all the way up to almost 8,000 feet. washing away much of this. what most people don't understand about california is that all the way up here in this sierra, all the way back down to the northern coastal range, down to the southern coastal range, all the way down to bakersfield, that is one big bathtub. all the water that is in here, whether it washes away snow or rains all has to go out through the golden gate bridge. under the golden gate. there is only one way out. a giant bathtub with one drain. now for the santa cruz area all the way down big sur, this area is not in this bowl. but you will see flash flooding here. you may even see highway 1 washed away in places. this is going to be a major weather event. 7 inches of rain on the higher elevations above 10,000 feet. another five to six feet of snow. i know they needed the rain. but, okay.

let's slow down a little. >> from one extreme to the next. no reprieve for california. chad, thank you. >> you're welcome. also this morning, the university of alabama basketball player brandon miller has broken his silence since having his name involved in that tragic january shooting on campus that killed 23-year-old harris. this comes as a police investigator testified that the gun that was brought to the scene in miller's car, miller has not been charged with a crime. his attorney says that miller never even touched the gun. miller also not sat out any games as alabama continued to play since the incident. that received some criticism how the team and coach have handled it. >> i never lose sight of the fact a family lost one of their loved ones that night. this whole situation is just really heartbreaking.

respectfully, that's all i'm going to be able to say on that. >> as reminder, two men including former alabama basketball player darius miles are facing murder charges in this case. new morning, former nba star shawn kem subpoena under arrest in washington state in quection -- q connection with a drive by shooting incident number injuries reported. kemp is six time nba all star, played for the seattle supersonics for eight years. he also played for the cavaliers, trail blazers and the orlando magic. en business owners near that train derailment said they're get nothing support from the company in the aftermath. we're live if east palestine. >> wait until you see this. can ai re-create your voice well enough to fool your parents? can it be used to blackmail your cnn colleagues? who would do that? we put it to the test.

comcast business. powering possibilities. can. many business owners in east palestine, ohio, struggling in the wake of last month's toxic train derailment. they have come under intense scrutiny as fears grow over contamination of the water, oil. allen shaw will testify before congress. our jason carroll is back live in east palestine this morning. you know, lawmakers will ask what they want to ask. the answers really matter for the people there. you see the blue containers

here. they're located on the property next to the derailment site. they're going to be containing the hazardous materials collected from the site. the factory's owner says his workers are too afraid to come to work. that's really the bottom line. they want more specifics about what norfolk southern is going to do about it. >> mike has had enough. >> sometimes when the winds blowing the right way, it it's almost unbearable to stay here. >> he is one of many residence taking them up on the offer to pay people who live near the derailment site to temporarily relocate for the next two months. the epa saying in a statement, norfolk southern has agreed to provide additional financial assistance, this assistance may include temporary lodging,

travel, food, clothing, and other necessities. but his worry is not just for his home, it's also about the future of his business. he and his wife ashley own mckim's honey vinery. much. >> i want to continue to stay here. i want things to be good here. i want things to go back to the way they were. but a million pounds of toxic waste were dumped 250 yards away from where we're standing right now. >> what about the blue containers? >> i have no idea. >> hethis man owns two manufacturing plants in town that make parts for steel mills. the back door of one of his factories just feet away from the derailment and steps away from where norfolk southern did a controlled burn of toxic chemicals. >> so the tarpz you see there covering what you believe is contaminated soil on your property? >> i do not know what is going to happen to us in the future.

they tried to remove the hazardous chemicals from this land. and i'm not sure the impact will last for how long? that's the uncertainty. >> wayne says no one from norfolk southern has come out to explain exactly what is happening on his property, despite his attempts to reach them and respond. they scheduled a meeting with us before cancelling last minute. we have not been able to reach him since and we, of course, must go through his attorney regardless, we continue to be committed to making it right in east palestine and look forward to following through with mr. wang as well. the rail company and epa say the cleanup could take up to two months. wayne says norfolk southern is temporarily compensating his employees during this time. but with no one to man the machines and fill back orders, he's not sure there will be a business for workers to come back to. >> right now, we're losing the

business. we're also losing the skilled workers. people are scared. they are not willing to come back to work. this is the issue. >> do you think it's safe for them to come back to work? >> i don't know. >> wang, like many here, will be watching what happens in washington thursday when norfolk southern's ceo is set to testify in front of congress. business owners such as jesse wince also will be listening closely to see if there is talk of a long-term economic plan to address the impact on east palestine. >> this has become more of a need than a want type income. >> she owns cut and loose hair shop and half her business has been wiped out since the accident. her message to shaw and to congress -- >> i think just make it right. i don't want to get emotional. but this is my income. this is how i raise my family. just help us. i haven't got any help. i don't want norfolk southern to

win and take this from me. >> so folks like jesse wince are really looking for specifics. are they going to compensate business owners like her? will they be offering buyouts? i think in addition to safety concerns, folks are really just looking for specifics here. >> yeah. >> back to you. >> real concrete answers. jason, thank you. let's bring in now the number three in the senate leadership and that is senator de d de debbie stabenow. we're so glad to have you on. thank you for joining us. we appreciate it. let's get started. you just heard the business owners, the residents. they are frustrated with a lack of what they believe southern -- norfolk southern is, their support there. they are uncertain about their future.

they're uncertain of their livelihoods. will you address that today at the hearing? >> absolutely, don. it's great to be with you. and on one hand breaks my heart and the other hand i have to say it just makes my blood boil. what is happening. it's not rocket science when you look at the direction this has been going with the lobbyists trying to roll back safety regulations for years. we as democrats are constantly fighting that. 30% of the staffing and which directly affects safety. and this company who so far has said they would give $6.4 million to the community to address what we just heard. but in the last two years, they gave $6.5 billion in stock buybacks. so these folks, like so many get the money at the top.

they cut workers. >> they almost had the 21st in michigan two weeks after this. >> let me ask you then. you said $4 million. this is according to "the wall street journal," they'll spend more than $20 million to reimburse residents to clean up the small town there. and also they said that they're planning to make changes. that's what he intends to tell you today. the $20 million to reimburse. is that enough? >> let me say, if it is 20 and that's the $6.4 million that we were told, i'm glad to hear that. but is it enough? no. people need to be made whole.

safety improvements need to pass to make the railroads accountable for this and deal with staffing and deal with other safety issues. so on the federal end as well as whatever the state needs to do, we need to strengthen those standards. the reality is this company cut corners, cut staff, chose to do stock buybacks that caused their pay to go up. the stockholders pay to go up. >> you have a lot on your plate, senator. the biden administration is going to release the budget p proposal today in light of what happened in east palestine, do you want to see more funding in transportation and rail safety? >> well, certainly. of what we did in the infrastructure bill, i know that

the president is certainly leaning heavily around safety and not just rail safety, other kinds of safety for people and for communities. i'm really excited about this budget. this is a president saying we're going to strengthen the great american success stories of medicare and social security to the 2050s. the republicans say they want to raise the age of social security and medicare. both of them to 70. privatise them. let wall street manage social security. let's see how that would work. and the president saying, no. we're going to strek then it. we're going to take the money from negotiating prescription drugs, savings, put it back into medicare, strengthen medicare and save the folks at the very top, hey, you can contribute a little bit more to something that is beneficial to everyone. so this is a vision about people investing communities, investing in people, as opposed to the

other side who is radical, seriously, radical proposals say we're going to pay on the backs of seniors and veterans and kids an everybody else. >> before i let you go, i need to ask you about mitch mcconnell suffering a fall. any word on how he's doing? >> i don't know. i certainly send him very, very best wishes. hopeful think is not something serious and we'll see him back soon. >> senator of michigan, thank you. we'll be watching the hearing today. we appreciate you joining us on "cnn this morning." >> very important hearing to watch. also today, we're tracking these pictures coming in from tel aviv. thousands of protesters are demonstrating right now against prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his plan to weaken israel's judicial system in what is being called a day of disruption. you can see it here. protesters even blocking the road to one of the main airport

term a terminals. lloyd austin landed in israel a short time ago. he has meetings with netanyahu and the dpeens efense minister israel. they had to change the schedule and trip delayed because of concerns about the protests. >> deep fate technology brought us life like versions of fictional characters we couldn't imagine a decade ago. how easy is it to use ia to fake someone else's voice? >> it turns out that is that easy. didn't that sound like me? that wasn't me. that was ai pretending to be me. here is the interesting and pretty frightening report. ♪ ♪ wow, we're crunching tons of polygons here! what's going on? where's regina?? hi, i'm ladonna. i invest in ininvesco qqq, a a fund that gives me access to the nasdaq-100 innovations, likeke real time cgi. okay... yeah... oh. don't worry i got it! become an agent of innovation with invesco qqq

criminal charges. police say that the child as you know brought the gun this his backpack on january 6th. he shot his 25-year-old teacher in the hand and her chest. she survived, luckily. authorities have yet to decide whether the parents are going to be held criminally liable. omar jimenez joins us now. what is the city prosecutor saying about this decision? obviously, this is an incredibly bizarre case. >> and a sensitive one. the prosecutor says they researched it thoroughly and they don't believe the law supports prosecuting or potentially convicting this 6-year-old. now, as you mentioned before coming to me that the parents though, we still don't fully know if they are off the hook. take a listen. >> after researching this issue thoroughly, we do in the believe the law supports charging and convicting a 6-year-old with aggravated assault. >> are you able to say that the prosecutorial efforts are focusing on the parents?

>> well, i have to say the prosecutor efforts are focused on determining what the facts are, applying the facts to the law and determining whether we can charge anyone with a crime we can prove beyond a reasonable doubt. >> the attorney representing the kid's parents say this gun was kept on the top shelf of the mom's bedroom closet secured by a trigger lock. it's unclear how he got the weapon in january. the police chief said it was certainly possible that the mother could face charges. obviously, we haven't seen anything here yet. >> what do we know about the teacher? still in recovery? >> the teacher made a relatively quick recovery, was out about a week after being shot in the chest. her main question now or the other part of recovery is figuring out how this happen. they are attorney alleges that school officials knew there was a gun on campus that day. now, the previous principal at the time denied this. but the teacher's attorney wants to know how this all unfolded,

especially since the attorney says that this kid had a history of behavioral issues, had just been suspended por breaking this teacher's cellphone and it was the day according to the attorney that the student got back that this shooting happened. obviously, still a lot to sort out here even if the 6-year-old isn't going to be charged. >> thank you, omar. all right. also this morning we have more on the overnight missile bombardment across ukraine. it was an incredibly major attack. major cities were struck. at least 11 people so far have been killed. europe's largest nuclear power plant has been completely disconnected. the white house's john kirby is standing by to discuss next.

from chest congestion and any type of cough, day or night. mucinex dm. it's comeback season. of massive -- a massive wave of missiles across ukraine overnight. this is actually what it looks like in kyiv right now. they struck several major

cities. you can see the immense amount of damage here. they mocked out power. civilians have been killed. hundreds of miles away from the front lines, nowhere even close. ukraine ace military said russia fired missiles including hypersonic ballistic missiles that can't be shot down by ukraine's air defenses. >> translator: as you can see, the attack is really large scale and for the first time using such different types of missiles. >> this is an attack like i don't remember seeing before. different types of aircraft were used, strategic, long-range, mig 31. there were 81 missile launches. >> president zelenskyy says the russians are returning to miserable tactics of terrorizing civilians. he spoke with wolf blitzer in an exclusive interviews talking about how his force still needs the # f-16 fighter jets. >> translator: we don't have the fighter jets to deal with it, to

counteract the russian hits, and we really need this. and we really appeal to the presidents that they start training ukrainian pilots. president biden told me that it would be worked upon and i believe that the united states will give us the opportunity to defend our skies. >> joining us now from the white house lawn is john kirby, the white house's national security council spokesman. john, we see fighting in ukraine every day. we see attacks every day. but this seems to be different. what more can you tell us? >> this was a sizable set of airstrikes with a mix of platforms whether it's drones, cruise missiles, hypersonics. the ukrainians are reporting more than 80 missiles. we can't confirm that, but we wouldn't refute it. it wasn't just in terms of the targets. civilian infrastructure for sure knocking out the power, trying

to turn off the heat. certainly affected places like kyiv, but also -- and odessa. also widespread across the country, all the way, hitting all the way as that far west as lviv. this was a significant night for the ukrainians and, sadly, some ukrainians died as a result of this -- these brutal tactics. >> are they using new missiles? we are hearing about these missiles that russia is including in this wave of attacks. >> yeah, i mean, so i think there is -- there is various reporting here on what they are using. we certainly believe that they used cruise missiles, drones most likely that they got from iran and we have seen the reports of hypersonics. this wouldn't the first time that the ukrainians used hypersonics. they have done this in the past. it's difficult to understand why you would need a hypersonic missile to hit a fixed building so far away when you have other means at your disposal. >> does ukraine have anything right now that can knock these

missiles, hypersonic missiles out of the sky? >> hypersonic missiles are generally very, very difficult to counter. it wouldn't surprise me that ukrainian air defenses are limited in their ability to go after hypersonic missiles. that said, we have put a lot of effort into the air defense capabilities for ukraine not just the united states, but our allies and partners, and they have done a remarkable job with the various tools and capabilities that they have been getting on air defense from short and medium-range systems. a year into the war and the russians have not achieved anything close to air superiority in the skies over ukraine and that's because the ukrainians have been very, very effective at air defense. >> would it help if they had the patriot missile battery system in this situation? >> the patriot battery system is really designed to go after ballistic missiles. and it's not as effective on m
