pretty much so i'm doing right now. i just don't even where to begin. entire communities leveled after violent storms tear through parts of the united states. you'll hear from those directly impacted. donald trump's supporters expressing concerns the former u. s president won't get a fair trial details and how one prominent democrat is responding and we're live in rome as pope francis presides over palm, sunday mass today after leaving the hospital. from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom leila harrack. we begin with those powerful storms that battered parts of the united states and the death toll rising yet again, at least 22 people were killed and dozens more injured after tornadoes and storms hit on friday and saturday, the latest fatality saturday evening in delaware. in

tennessee, seven people killed in mcnairy county, the mayor of covington's tennessee became emotional, speaking to the media on saturday. the last life is hard to deal with. we can't rebuild it. hotels taking a major hit. so many things are citizens, their homes their businesses. the schools, the places they play their electricity. their way of life has been affected. in the midwest, the governor of indiana declared a disaster emergency in two counties after three storm related deaths were reported in his state. in neighboring illinois. one person killed and at least 28 injured when the roof collapsed during concert at a theater in belvedere, friday nights. in arkansas, at least a dozen tornadoes were reported five people there were killed in little rock and when and dozens more hospitalized. listen to the

mayor of when described how the tornado impacted her city. we can say that the search and rescue efforts we feel like have come to an end. we feel like we've we've canvassed the area of the storm, um 2 to 3 times and in most areas and feel confident that we can say that search and rescue is over. so we have a lot of families that are completely devastated. have no home at all to go to no belongings survived, so we will have to have to help these families. and we'll need all the help that we can get. cnn meteorologist derek van dam is in when where he is seeing the devastation firsthand and how the people there are showing resiliency in the face of nature's wrath. we're in wynne, arkansas, where cleanup is underway. you can see construction vehicles, bobcats

working overtime to clear debris . we were talking to my crew just a few moments ago, and it reminds us of the set of a blockbuster movie. look at this church behind me. there's a steeple that was completely torn off. the top of the building, smashed into the adjacent building, took down some trees along with it. just incredible amounts of damage. people coming outdoors to assess what we have behind us. here is the win high school, the home of the yellow jackets, and i had an incredible moment with a gentleman that was walking through the parking lot draped with an american flag over his shoulders, and i asked him where he had found the flag, and he said that it was beyond the high school blown from that top of the flagpole there, and it was it was he was determined. to hoist that thing back up in a sign of solidarity, and in a sign of determination that when arkansas will rebuild and they will get through this traumatic , devastating tornado, look at this. we have electrical poles snapped power lines taken down, trees completely toppled over

homes and businesses decimated. i have talked to some of the first responders, they go from home to home. to business to business and putting these xs on the sides of the walls there to signify and identify that there are no people left inside of these businesses. but you can see the bomb cats here. they're going to help clear out this debris. just down this road. you can see the amount of trees. this is really just a drop in the bucket as the utility crews , the first responders, the ambulances, the police, the fire marshal's all work in a coordinated effort to get the cleanup. underway. we're gonna keep watching the potential for more severe weather across the central us for next week, so everybody here on high alert. back to you. donald trump's legal team is already talking about a potential trial even before knowing the criminal charges against him, but there may be getting ahead of

themselves first. the indictment must be unsealed and we expect that to happen at tuesday's arraignment in manhattan, cnn's krista holmes has our report. former president donald trump's aides and advisers have expressed concern in recent days that the former president might not get a fair trial. if this were to be held in manhattan. now, of course, we do not know if this is actually going to go to trial, still a long ways away from that, but they are citing the potential concern over the fact that he is a politically blue democratic burrow. now sources close to the legal team say they are not considering at this time asking for a change of venue to perhaps a more republican friendly. borough that they are just waiting to actually see that indictment see those charges, and they're expecting to do on tuesday when the former president is arraigned. this messaging, though, around the unfairness. that is what we have really seen for not just the last several days, but the last several months around this potential indictment around donald trump's

ongoing legal problems, they tend to paint this as completely unfair as a political hoax as a witch hunt, and it's not just the former president and his team. republicans have also started to follow sue. we know that the former president has been calling his allies capitol hill and across the country, trying to sort shore up that support and also really trying to stress the fact that this is political, and they seem to be following that lead. we have seen all of these surrogates, these people who are close to the former president, hitting up conservative media talking about how this is unfair how this is a problem for the democrats. how this is a political hoax. and the big question, though, right now is what this actually means for the former president. politically now. in some cases, there are people who believe that this might help him in a primary contested primary with republicans, but people are still very unsure what this means for the former president in the long term, and that is

something that there's a lot of conversations going on and on about, particularly as we see is 2024 campaign ramping up christian homes. west palm beach, florida cnn. kristen told us how there is a growing chorus of support from prominent republicans, and that includes trump's 2016 rival, jeb bush. on saturday, he tweeted that manhattan d. a alvin brags case quote is very political, not a matter of justice, while trump's potential 2024 competitor, florida, governor, ron desantis offered his own blistering, take on brag at a leadership conference in pennsylvania. now he turns around purely for political purposes and indict the former president on misdemeanor offenses that they're straining to try to convert into felonies. that is when you know that the law has been weaponized for political purposes. that is when you know that the left is using that to

target their political opponent. earlier scene and spoke with democratic congresswoman zoe lofgren. she was a member of the january 6th select committee. my colleague jim acosta asked her how she reacts to allegations that brags case is quote politically motivated. none of us know what the charges are. i mean, he doesn't know. i don't know. and you don't know the indictment is sealed until tuesday. so how they can assert so confidently that there's something defective is kind of a mystery. you know, we live in a country where we're blessed with a system of laws. prosecutors are charged with evaluating facts and law and bringing actions without fear or favor, uh, in in their work, so i think there's a lot of commentary based on no evidence yet if you're charged with a crime,

you're entitled to due process. you're entitled to a presumption of innocence unless you are convicted and the former president will i hope and believe being time to all of those constitutional protections. uh you know, if this is not a strong case, then he'll win in court. if it is a strong case, i think the people are suggesting that it's improper will be very embarrassed. tuesday's agreement requires an extraordinary level of planning and security. we get more on that now from cnn's polo sandoval outside the manhattan courthouse. security in lower manhattan likely to intensify as we get closer to the day that former president donald trump travels here to new york city to officially face those charges that were filed by manhattan district attorney on thursday. this will come with major logistical and security considerations. security for example, we have seen the last several days, the nypd set up additional lights, additional

cameras surrounding the building behind me, which is where those court proceedings will be housed in tuesday, according to several sources. we have also witnessed an increased nypd presence surrounding the building, as well as court officers that have been asked to work through the weekend. also what you don't see behind the scenes, which is the intelligence operation, intelligence officials scouring the internet, identify any potential threats, and we also know that governor kathy hoco instead of new york, has reached out to new york city officials and offering state resources should that be needed, though the new york city mayor's office, making it very clear that they have not identified any credible threats so far in terms of the logistics, it's certainly going to be a massive undertaken when it comes to what we have seen between secret service and the nypd there, certainly familiar with the practices that come with transporting former presidents in and out of new york city. however given the unusual

circumstances, our colleague john miller, reporting that there is very likely that the booking process will be modified that we do expect the former president to travel here come tuesday to face those charges. he would be taken upstairs in the building that used to behind me to detective squad fingerprinted. then taken before an arraignment judge and then potentially be released on a pr bonds. it's certainly everything that we expect come tuesday in terms of the security presidency will only continue to grow as we get closer to that day. polo sandoval, cnn, new york and the heartbroken city of nashville, tennessee. funerals were held saturday for two of the six victims of monday's school shooting. community is expressing its grief with flowers and toys piled high outside the school in private families mourned a popular substitute teacher and the nine year old daughter of the school's church pastor, cnn's dianne gallagher, was there. a very somber saturday here in

said that he grew up with cindy peak and called her a great friend. she was kind and said that her entire hometown of leesville, louisiana, is in mourning right now, and the morning here in nashville will continue on sunday as nine year old will kenny will be laid to rest. diane gallagher, cnn. nashville, tennessee. it's palm sunday for the catholic church just ahead the pope's role at services today as we had towards easter sunday next week in an update on his health, plus is really protesters hold more rallies despite the government's attempt to quell their anger, many saves continue to take action against a planned judicial reform. intntroducing e new sleep number climate 3 600 smart bet only y smart but in te world that actively cools. warms and effofortlessly responds to both of you are smart sleepers get 28 minutes more restful

cause jesus' entry into jerusalem. and it marks the start of holy week celebrations in the christian calendar leading up to easter next week. for more. let's go now to cnn's delia gallagher, who joins me now live from rome, delia just a day after the pontiff left the hospital, pope francis back to his busy schedule and kicking off this holy week. yeah, and you know, leila, i was just reflecting if you had asked me on wednesday at the pope would be at this mass today, i would have said. probably not. i mean on wednesday, we were told that he had been complaining of having breathing difficulties in the past few days, so it is absolutely amazing to see that pope francis is even here at this mass today certainly saw him yesterday and he was sounding okay. his voice is a bit soft, but we just heard him actually blessing. the palms and any sounds and looks pretty good. this is palm sunday. as you said, kicking off a very busy week here at the vatican,

the pope on thursday will be at a juvenile jail for the washing of the feet that traditional, uh , event that happens on what they call holy thursday on friday, expected to be at the coliseum outside at night in rome easter vigil on saturday easter mass. on sunday, so this is just the first event. of what is a very busy week for pope francis. now what you're going to see here today is the pope will be probably sitting down and there will be another cardinal. another argentinian. he's the vice dean of the college of cardinals, saying the mass and that had already been planned later. that's not something because of the pope's bronchitis. that is because the pope for some time now has had mobility issues with his knee. so we have seen a number of events already in a number of masses where pope francis doesn't stand at the altar and actually say the mass, but he will give a homily so we will hear hear him. speaking and he is certainly what we say presiding. he is definitely present at the mass. a lot of

people here today for this palm sunday mass. indeed in many churches around the world at this time in christian churches, there are orthodox christians who celebrate easter a week after. uh the, uh christian churches here do but nonetheless a really important day to be able to see pope francis and celebrate this moment with him in good health, leila do you like gallagher reporting live from rome. thank you so much, delia. plans to suspend controversial judicial reforms are doing little to end protests against the government of prime minister benjamin netanyahu. tens of thousands of people showed up in televisa, waving flags, blowing horns and chanting pro democracy slogans. the large turnout suggests many protesters are unconvinced by

the government's promise to pause the reform plan. by a month. mr netanyahu announced the delay on monday, hoping to quell public anger, but some protesters say that's not enough. cnn's harass gold reports. so this is the 13th week in a row now that tens of thousands of not hundreds of thousands of. apologies. i think we are having some technical problems there. all right. well we'll bring you had asses report a little later on. it's going to turn our focus now to taiwan, which is recognized as a nation by just 13 countries worldwide, and right now it's president is visiting two of them sighing when received a warm welcome saturday in guatemala, where its leader had comments that are not likely to sit well with beijing. cnn's rafael romo reports. it's been only a week since honduras broke diplomatic relations with taiwan. but this weekend,

another central american country gave taiwanese president sighing when a totally different treatment. what i'm all in president alejandro welcome his taiwanese counterpart with full honors when she arrived at his central american nation friday at the national culture palace. both leaders signed multiple cooperation agreements covering education, agriculture and health. before meeting privately, presidents i called guatemala a solid ally of taiwan , adding that she was moved by president giamatti's friendship and expressing gratitude for what she called guatemala's permanent support. the guatemalan president said his government supports taiwan and reiterated that taiwan is in his words and independent nation and the only and true china with which what a moloch shares democratic values, mutual respect and fraternal ties. on friday, mounting, spokeswoman for china's foreign ministry praised the new diplomatic relations between her country and honduras, saying that the

one china policy should be favored by the rest of the world. mauro added that china hopes that what moloch clearly understands. this trend and makes the right decision to stop supporting taiwan in the near future. but guatemalan president jammeh has ignored china's admonitions celebrating his country's sixth decade bilateral relations with taiwan instead. on saturday, jama they took side on a tour of guatemala's tikal national park, a unesco world heritage site due to the historical significance of its mayan ruins. on sunday, they're expected to visit the chimaltenango hospital, a medical center build things to a $22 million donation. from taiwan. rafael romo, cnn atlanta . and as we said a moment ago, israeli prime minister benjamin benjamin netanyahu announced he was delaying judicial reforms, hoping to quell public anger. but it's seen ins called reports that has not been the case. so

this is the 13th week in a row now that tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of israelis have taken to the streets in protest of this judicial overhaul that would give in essence the israeli parliament politicians in power , a lot of say over the israeli judiciary. now these protesters are still out here on the street on a saturday night, despite the fact that last week. the israeli government led by prime minister benjamin netanyahu announced that they were going to be causing the legislation at least for one month time for negotiations for many of these protesters. they don't believe benjamin netanyahu and they say that they're going to continue coming out to the streets to protest until this legislation is completely off the table. many of the protesters that i've talked to say they're willing to give compromise reform that's being discussed right now chance , but they still feel as though

that their idea of israeli democracy and the independence of the judiciary is still very much at risk, and that's why they're continuing to come out to the streets. massive as a way they feel protecting israeli democracy told cnn television. the security council takes political fire from ukraine as russia assumes the leadership of the influential un body. well now president zelensky is telling the council it's time for reforms will explain. join me in the finished 24 houour challenge. start by cookoking a lasagna, skskip the rinse and ld your dishes. 24 hours later, when your dishwasher is full, let finish quantum. clean your dishes. if the stains are gone, your lasagna is on fini sometimes you might not feel ready for the moment.ith roman at your side.e got this. you

, the vicar of historic church in keith was placed under house arrest on saturday. officials say he's being investigated for inciting religious hatred and for justifying and denying russia's aggression. pavlo belongs to the ukrainian orthodox church, which was loyal to the russian orthodox leader until it went independent last year. meanwhile, on the front lines, russia's wagner mercenaries appeared to be making some progress in mahmoud black flag you see on the bottom of your screen is wagner's. the group posted this video that seems to show the flag on a building near the city center. cnn has geolocation the footage , wagner has been making incremental gains in mahmoud, but at the expense of heavy casualties, according to western officials. meanwhile, ukraine is expressing outrage as russia takes over the presidency of the u. n security council. moscow began the month long rotating

leadership of the council on saturday, which means russia now leads the body that deals with global peace and security while conducting a war against its neighbor for ukraine's president . that means it's time for changes at the council. terrorist's sugar. russia is chairing the u. n security. it is hard to imagine anything that proves more the total bankruptcy of such institutions. there is no form of terror that russia has not already committed and there will be no reason that will stop the reform of global institutions, in particular the u. n. security council reform that is obviously overdue to prevent a terrorist state in any other state that wants to be a terrorist from destroying the peace. terrorist must lose must be held accountable for terror in that preside anywhere. let's take it to ukraine now. david mckenzie joins us live from kiev , david. very strong response

from ukraine keep questioning russia taking over the rotating presidency of the un security council understandable. of course, it's understandable and ukrainians called it the world's worst april fool's joke. i mean the charter the very first article of that which formed the world governing body is to suppress acts of aggression and now to have russia permanent member of the u. n. security council, taking up that rotating presidency as a country that invaded a sovereign state. is, at the very least, deeply ironic . this is a symbolic role in the security council. but it will mean that russia for at least a month will be the public face of the security council will help set the agenda and be in a way, the spokesperson of the security council, of course, the five permanent members and the other rotating members aren't always

the most countries with the best human rights or conflict issue, but it certainly is a moment to take pause and take those calls. as for reform at the u. n, perhaps seriously, later. and david. the war continues to take a very brutal toll on ukrainian soldiers. that's right. and, of course, after many months of fighting, particularly in the eastern front, there's a lot of focus on the daily gains or losses by ukraine and russia. it is unclear how many ukrainian soldiers have died and have been injured, but it certainly is taking a deep psychological toll on some of them. video diary of a young ukrainian volunteer corps sign a cooler or shark. he signed up on the very first morning of the invasion. ready to defend his nation. in the

beginning, he says he didn't feel the burden of war. but then a cooler was sent to the eastern front. when was this was the most difficult time in my life, he says. precisely aroma. it's impossible to describe it with words. where words fail him. images tell his story. the story of thousands of young ukrainian soldiers. mukula says he's suffered severe concussions from artillery and rocket strikes. he's now at a mental health rehabilitation center near kiev . did you think the conflict would be anything like you've experienced when you volunteered that day. to be honest, i did not expect such a war, he says.

when i went to war, i thought everything would be different. and when you get there, it's not what you think. no. yeah it's scary, cold hungry. and lonely. says it's peaceful here. the forest glade center. soldiers get up to a month of treatment. the hardest decision for them is to send them back to fight and perhaps die. the most important thing now is that they survive and stay alive, says the head of mental health after the war, we will help them with their health and socialization in this country. now every decent man should join the war, young and old. their job is to save ukraine. stay there, and ukraine

is urgently calling for volunteers like these. obviously they don't release casualty figures, but a senior u s official estimated months ago that perhaps 100,000 soldiers had been killed and injured at figure and doubted lee higher now. just weeks ago, many of these recruits hadn't held a rifle, but their commander, a trained psychologist. carries the ukrainian flag on his back to raise above liberated towns. at the moment, i feel less afraid for myself and for my fighters says lieutenant confessed. some of my team have not seen combat and i have a great responsibility to lead them forward. i just want people to clearly understands his akula. that the guys who have been there since the beginning not going to stand forever. he says he isn't physically or mentally ready. but in a few

days he could be sent back to fight with him. this is my job, he says. and i have to do it. who else if not us? it's striking that you know, in terms of therapy for post traumatic stress or concussion in general , you will be pulled away from the front kept in a calm place like we got access to their but you really do get the sense that the priority for those running that center is to get the soldiers well enough to get back and fight because of the overall priority of the country later. david mckenzie reporting from keith. thank you so much, david. was secretary general says finland will join the military alliance in the coming days, almost a year after applying for membership. the last hurdle was cleared when turkey became the final nato country to approve finland's application once the country formally joins the group . nato's borders with russia

will more than double in length to over 1500 miles, and the size of the alliance would grow even further if all members approved the application of neighboring sweden. however turkey continues to block its application. let's discuss this further now with former finnish prime minister alexander stoop he joins us now from florence, where he directs the school of transnational governance at the european university institute, sir. thank you so much for your time. um, so it's happening. finland is joining nato. how do you reflect on this moment? well obviously, it's historic. it's historic. in many ways, in the sense that we finally join the military alliance. it's historic, in the sense that it's probably the fastest accession of a new nato country ever. and of course, we all know that this would not have happened was it not for putin's aggression in ukraine so historic in many aspects historic in many aspects. um

let's discuss one aspect in terms of what kind of change does this represent for fins as a society and as as a country to go from so called neutrality to full blown nato membership in this span of a year. well, i guess you could say that we were neutral during the cold war. but that was out of necessity. not free will. when the cold war ended, we changed to a doctrine of non military alliance and now we join military alliance. to a certain extent, it means a lot, but that that much in the sense that i think we were one of the few countries in europe that sustained a obligatory military service. we have 900,000 men in reserve 280,000 that we can mobilize that wartime, so it's good for us to get security from nato and article five. but i also think that we are tremendous value added for nato itself. what debates are there now being held in finland about

what it will mean for the country to become a member of the transatlantic alliance? i mean, are people open to a potentially big nato presence in their country? well yes and no. i guess the starting point is to say that we did shift public opinion overnight, actually, in the in an opinion program 23rd, 24th and 25th of february so previously we were 50% against nato membership and 20 in favor and not just swapped very quickly, and now we're up to approval rates of 80% for nato, and i think the discussion about what kind of a profile as a member we'll have. we'll start now after the elections when we get a new government installed, i would predict that our profile will be very nordic, so it will be quite similar. probably what norway has been in denmark and iceland. to a certain extent, that's the profile that you'll see first finland taking and then later sweden, which i believe will join by the summit in vilnius in july this summer.

now let's talk about sweden. how do you feel about finland? leaving sweden behind? you launched a joint bid and towns. helsinki was adamant that you know it will. it will only join if stockholm would get the green light. but now finland is going it alone. yeah well, quite relaxed in terms of the overall picture. in other words, sweden has been a neutral country for 200 years and it will now be two months after finland joining nato. of course, i would have preferred finland to join together with sweden. but there wasn't that much finland could do about it because it was turkey and hungary. that decided to ratify at a different pace, but i'm very confident that sweden will be there, and i think the big picture should be kept in mind. and that is that both countries security situation is actually very good at the moment. we have defacto security guarantees as it stands , so i think i'm not too worried

about sweden not joining exactly at the same time, though, i would have preferred it. alexander stoop. thank you for this conversation. yes. and voters in finland have many things on their minds besides nato as they choose a new parliament today, difficult domestic issues could make it hard for senate merrin to keep her job as prime minister. our report just ahead. this is annie . she loves dogs. so she started a school for dogs. staff was growowing. our space was growin, andd we neither have more money in the bank needed alone. enter smart biz loans dot com. we found them a bank, which got them an s b a loan with a great rate and we made the process easy. we've helped over 230,000 small businesses get over $9 billion in funding. it was fast . it was easy. they were super nice and i got the loan. happy i did. we can tell. apply today at smart biz loans dot comi have
