the rubble, the latest on the severe weather just ahead. plus after being indicted, donald trump started making a lot of claims about manhattan and it's just district attorney will fact check to see if any of them are true and we're alive in rome. pope francis presides over palm sunday mass. just one day after leaving the hospital. live from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom with layla, harare. we begin with those powerful deadly storms that battered parts of the us over the past two days, leaving dozens injured after tornadoes and storms moved through, and the death toll continues to climb. the latest fatality was saturday evening in sussex county, delaware county officials say it happened after a structure collapsed. the same storm system left behind a trail

of destruction across multiple states beginning on friday. listen to this resident from tennessee. it's just surreal. you know, you just everything you've worked. we've lived in this house 44 years. and you know everything we worked for. paid for it. it's gone. it's gone. and here's what we know. right now. at least 22 people were killed in multiple states. the governors of arkansas, illinois, indiana and iowa have each issued disaster declarations for their states and the federal emergency management agency's administrator will visit arkansas in a few hours. in tennessee. seven people were killed in mcnairy county sheriff says the death toll could have been much higher if residents had not listened to early warnings about the storm, or the same goes for those in kentucky . here's what the mayor of hopkinsville said. we have our

clock tower damaged it and after it damaged it, and we have other things that got a lot of trees down. we were getting ready to go to bed and i heard this big kaboom. once a wind got in there. you know, with a high velocity wind, it just explodes and it blew the roof off. well. luckily there were no fatalities in kentucky, though there were a number of reports of wind damage. in illinois. one person was killed and at least 28 injured when the roof collapsed during a concert at a theater in belvedere friday night. well, cnn's adrien brody's filed this report. at least 260. people were inside the apollo theater when the roof collapsed. we want to show you the view from above, take a look. you can see some of the damage and devastation. we're told. at least 28 people were transported to the hospital . five of them were described to have serious injuries. at least

one person was killed people who gathered here last night. we're here for a concert. meanwhile throughout the day on saturday, crew started the clean up. process of fence was put up as well as barricades to keep people away. but that did not stop people from the neighborhood and the community, stopping by to take pictures. one person told me she was devastated when she learned what had happened here, she says. the apollo theater is a place where she has so many memories, but for now, her thoughts are with the people who were injured. adrian broadest, cnn, belvedere, illinois. well at least a dozen tornadoes were reported across the state of arkansas. five people were killed and dozens more were hospitalized. the mayor of wynne, arkansas, told cnn. her city was basically cut in half by the damage and there were similar scenes of destruction in the state capital , little rock, arkansas governor sarah huckabee. sanders spoke to

reporters on saturday. i've had the opportunity over the last couple of hours to speak with both the homeland security secretary as well as president biden, who have offered a tremendous amount of support anything that arkansas need from a city county state and federal perspective, i would say that everyone is working in total lockstep and we're going to do everything we can to make sure that people of our state are back on their feet again. all that deadly storm system may have moved out, but there's more severe weather on the way. the storm prediction centers is severe weather is possible today from texas to missouri to alabama, affecting many of the areas hard hit in over the past few days with the greatest threat is centered on north texas, impacting nearly 13 million people, damaging winds, large hail and tornadoes are possible. until the indictment

of donald trump is unsealed. we won't know the exact crimes he's being charged with, but that hasn't stopped trump and his allies from claiming. it's just a political witch hunt, even some of mr trump's republican rivals have picked up on the scene on saturday job. bush tweeted that manhattan district attorney alvin brags case quote is very political, not a matter of justice and florida governor ron desantis who is expected expected to challenge mr trump for the 20. 24 nomination delivered this broadside. 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 opponents. well. trump and his allies are also trying to discredit the manhattan prosecutor by portraying him as soft on crime. mr trump says bragg is pursuing charges against him while allegedly ignoring rickard crime in manhattan. but it's seen as daniel dale explains new york city crime statistics don't support mr trump's claim. the former president keeps attacking district attorney alvin bragg by claiming that manhattan is experiencing a quote record high in violent crime. leaving aside the question of how responsible a d a actually is for crime in his jurisdiction. trump's claim that manhattan violent crime is at record highs is not even close to true. new york city crime stats are public, so let's take a look at these public numbers. the northern part of manhattan had 43 murders last year. it's on just about the same pace early this year. that same northern region had 379

murders in 1990 almost 10 times , as many now the south part of manhattan had 35 murders last year. that's an even better pace this year versus 124 murders in 1990. it's not just murder, every kind of violent crime in manhattan is way down. from that peak, there was an uptick in many kinds of crime in manhattan in 2020. two compared to 2021. but many of them like shooting incidents, for example, have come back down significantly in the first part of 2023. now some trump allies are making even broader claims that new york city as a whole is having record crime. we saw a new york gop congressman anthony esposito, tweets such a claim this week. that is also not even close to true. the city as a whole had 438 murders last year compared to 2262 murders in 1990 again, that's a huge drop from the bad old days. now trump and others have also repeatedly tried to tie the indictment, too liberal billionaire george soros. trump said in his statement on the

indictment, his first statement that bragg was handpicked and funded by george soros. now this one is more of a nuanced fact. check there is certainly no sign whatsoever that soros somehow got bragged, pressured, brag to do this indictment of trump, a spokesman for soros told me that soros has never even communicated with bragg in any way whatsoever, and we also know that soros did not make any donate. nations to bragg's 2021 election campaign. what sorrows did do is make donations to a pack a political action committee that in turn supported brag sources, a longtime supporter of criminal justice, reform and progressive candidates around the country. his spokesman told me that soros and an affiliated pac gave $4 million between 2016 and 2022, including one million in may 2021 to a pro reform pack called color of change, which also backs these pro reform candidates. color of change told me it ended up spending just over 500,000. dollars in support of that brag 2021 campaign. how

much did that money matter? we don't know for sure, of course, bragg was still outspent by millions of dollars in the competitive democratic primary one even if you count that 500 k and color obtained, president rashad robinson told me it's a huge reach to suggest that his pack was like the one factor that elected alvin bragg. robinson told me quote up until last week. we couldn't get people to write about our pack. now, all of a sudden, we single handedly elected the manhattan d a. but when he was elected, i didn't get that credit. robinson also called these sources. related attacks anti semitic and i think this is important context. soros has for years been subjected to a very old anti semitic tropes about sinister, rich jewish puppet masters, somehow orchestrating big global events. the trump campaign is itself using that puppet master language in fundraising emails. oren segal, an executive at the anti defamation league, which fights anti semitism, told me that trump campaign's emails have quote increasingly promoted potentially problematic language language often used as anti semitic dog whistles. including

colleagues, sorrows, quote, puppeteer or puppet master. i want to emphasize one can fairly talk about george soros's role in racist and the u. s politics . more broadly, he is an important political player in this country. he's fair game, but there's no sign alvin bragg is taking orders from him. and this puppet master kind of language has serious issues. to say the least. daniel dale, cnn washington. in the heart broken city of nashville, tennessee, a private funeral later today for nine year old wilkin e. one of the six victims of monday's school showing funerals were held saturday for two others. the community expressed its grief with flowers and toys piled high outside the school as families mourn 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 nashville, tennessee, is a community says goodbye to two of the six victims in that school

shooting on monday at covenant presbyterian church, which is the same site as the covenant school where the shooting happened. mourners gathered to say goodbye to nine year old halle scruggs. halle scruggs father is the pastor of the church and on described her as incredibly smart, feisty enough to keep up with her three brothers and her four boy cousins, a love for life that kept her smiling and running and jumping and playing and always on the go. like a nine year old should be just before halley's funeral. the community said goodbye to 61 year old cynthia peak, she was called cindy by her friends, according to the governor of tennessee, who said that cindy was one of his wife's best friends, and she was actually due to have dinner with the governor and the first lady of tennessee on monday night the same day, of course, that she was killed. our state representative from louisiana, 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. and police in canada have recovered eight bodies, including a baby and a three year old child, both with canadian passports after search along the st lawrence river on the u. s. canadian border, police say the six adults and the children were trying to cross into the us from mohawks nation territory, which straddles two canadian provinces and new york state. the dead are believed to have been from a romanian family and family from india. the cause of death is still unclear. canadian authorities say there have been 48 incidents this year of people trying to cross the border illegally into the united states. israeli protesters hold more rallies despite the

after leaving the hospital, remarkable. yes it is remarkable . in fact, you know, we just heard him speak. leila vatican tells us there's about 30,000 people there in st peter's square with him. we had a chance to hear the pope give his homily spoke about abandonment about people who society ignores the elderly. the sick, those imprisoned he will be going to a prison on thursday juvenile prison for the traditional washing of the feet. migrants some of the themes that we know are important to pope francis. he just spoke about we heard his voice, which is, as you might expect, slightly softer, slightly lower, but nonetheless , in good spirits. i think he's looking good and sounding good. this palm sunday, mass kicks off a very busy holy week for pope francis. you'll see him. seated during this mass, but that was already something that the pope had been doing because of a knee problem that's not related to

the bronchitis. there is a cardinal who celebrates the mass, the pope presides at the mass. they say that this is something that he's been doing for some time now and so he will have a number of events coming up throughout this week, including friday evening at the coliseum in the evening outdoors. and saturday evening easter vigil and sunday easter mass. so this is the busiest time of the year for the pope, and certainly given that on wednesday, he was in hospital. uh and he had been complaining about breathing problems. it's quite something to see that he's made it here. we saw him yesterday going out from the hospital, and he seemed even surprised when he was asked. would he be participating in holy week events? it was, of course, and he has a ripped to hungary scheduled towards the end of this month, and he said, that's onto so hard to keep him down. i'm sure his doctors would appreciate it. he would take a bit of a rest, but this is not the week to do it. this is really a very important solemn

week for christians around the world, leila very important week indeed. w what can we expect in the coming days? so today we have the palm sunday mass. then the pope hopefully will have two or three days. but remember, he's still got all of his vatican meetings his audience on wednesday as a lot of public events, but don't forget also the private events. the pope constantly throughout the day has a whole series of people that he meets from politicians to other religious figures. so he's gonna we'll see if he keeps up that schedule and then he has his public events on thursday. there's a mass in the morning. there's the evening mass at at the jew. juvenile jail as i mentioned, and then the friday evening stations of the cross. saturday evening, mass sunday mass. so he's 86 years old. i mean, a pope's schedule is tough at any time, but certainly when you're recovering from bronchitis, and you have an important mobility problem with your knee, uh, that really makes

it a challenge, but the pope seems to be up to. it definitely seems to be up to a delia gallagher reporting from rome. thank you so very much greatly appreciate it. now to israel, where the temporary suspension of controversial judicial reforms is doing little to end protests against the government of prime minister benjamin netanyahu. tens of thousands of people showed up to demonstrate intel aviv on saturday, many march through the streets, waving flags, blowing horns and chanting pro democracy slogans. some also urged the government to completely scrap the reform plan instead of just putting it off by a month. cnn's had asked gold has the details. so this is the 13th week in a row now that tens of thousands of not hundreds of thousands of israelis have taken to the streets in protest of this judicial overhaul that would give in essence the israeli parliament, the politicians in power a lot of safe 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. many of these protesters essentially they don't believe benjamin. it's on ya. 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 talked to say they're willing to give the 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. the way they feel protecting the israeli democracy. told cnn television. two palestinians were killed by israeli forces on saturday in

two separate cases in the west bank, israeli soldiers fatally shot a 23 year old palestinian man after he allegedly hit three people with a car and in jerusalem. israeli police say they killed a 26 year old palestinian man after he allegedly grabbed an officer's gun at first. authorities said there was no footage to prove their claims which have been disputed. but after cnn confirmed that security cameras were at the scene, authorities changed their story and said they collected all footage of the surrounding area for investigation. in iran, a brazen attack on a woman and her friend for not wearing hijab has reportedly resulted in the women's arrest. surveillance video shows an agitated man confronting the women in a shop and pelting them with yogurt. the man was pushed out of the store and charged with disturbance of order, but the women were reportedly arrested

two for his job violations. will. it comes despite months of protests across iran that erupted when a young woman died in custody after being detained for not wearing the headscarf. crucial parliamentary elections are underway in finland that could shift that country significantly to the right. the ruling liberal coalition of prime minister santamaria is locked in a three way tie with two right wing parties. the election comes just as finland is about to join nato, which is hugely consequential. given finland's long border with russia, but domestically there has been growing discontent among some fins towards the current government's liberal policies, and that's created an opportunity for candidates on the right. preliminary election results are expected later today , and polls are open in montenegro as this small balkan country votes for president and it promises to be a closely

watched election. the incumbent my lower djukanovic has presided over the country's politics since the early 19 nineties, but he's being challenged by a relatively young, pro european economist in a country where many voters are tired of political gridlock and suspected corruption and bulgarians are voting in general election sunday, their fifth in two years . the country is a nato and eu member, but its population is torn over loyalties in russia's war on ukraine. will the country's political parties also struggled to maintain coalitions in the past several years even as voters frets over soaring prices, widespread poverty and poor health care, and many complain the same people are running in election after election. the security council takes political fire from ukraine. russia assumes the leadership of the influential one body and now president

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's center recovering these developments for you from all angles. david mckenzie is standing by in keith, while claire sebastian joins us now live from london first to you, david wagner. fighters appear to have raised the group's flag near the center of embattled mahmoud does this mean that it's now in russian hands? no not necessarily. but it might mean that at least temporarily, they were able to access that rooftop and place that distinctive black in the center of mahmoud. i think what it is, of course, a propaganda victory for the mercenary group that has been battling along with regular russian forces for many months now to take over back mood that city in the east. the uh, there isn't any indication that at least the majority of the city has been taken by wagner or russian

troops. certainly that's not the news we are getting over the last few days, but it is a moment where it reminds one of the intense fighting of that largely destroyed city and the important symbolic moment that they have released for their own purposes. now scathing criticism from the ukraine's president vladimir zelensky came out strongly against russia taking over the rotating presidency of the u. n. security council. mortgage. tell us. russia is, of course, a permanent member of the u. n security council, along with four other nations, including the us, and you can't help but think this is an ironic moment that they take on this largely symbolic role to lead the council of the next month. the foreign minister called it terrible april fool's joke, and president zelensky was in fact, as you say, scathing about this

moment. the rules and heuristic russia is sharing the u. n security council. it's hard to imagine anything that proves more total bankruptcy of such institutions. there is no forum 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 and any other state that wants to be a terrorist from destroying the peace. well, here's the thing that of course, ukrainians will complain about this. the u. s head of the mission. there has also but there's very little that can be done about this. the u. n is set up in the system that has a rotating presidency of the council every month. a new permanent or non permanent member takes up that slot. but you can be sure that the russian representative will use this time even more spotlight to push their agenda at the u. n. it is

again with some level of irony. the charter itself. the very first article is stating that the u. n was set up to avoid aggression and avoid wars, just like russia has done here in ukraine. leila mckenzie reporting from keith, thank you so much for now. i want to take you now to london, declared sebastian she standing by claire russia, running the u. n security council. as david has just been reporting, ukraine is calling it the worst april fool's day. joke. what has the response been from moscow? so we haven't had an official response later to those comments by president zelensky or the ones by his foreign minister, calling it does you say the worst april fool's joke, but we do know certainly from my colleague, richard roth on the ground at the united nations that those who back russia there have been pretty quick to point out sort of historical hypocrisy, saying that the u. s as a permanent member of the security council launched an invasion of ukraine sorry of iraq in 2003, without

the security council's knowledge or prior. permission so there's a bit of sort of what about ism going on there? i will say, though it's worth pointing out that russia despite railing against nato and the us and ukraine's western allies, is very much prizes its position as a permanent member of the un security council. it's just released a new foreign policy doctrine in which it literally says that its international position its position in the world is defined by, among other things, its status as a permanent member of the security council. so this is very important to russia, and i think, as david pointed out, you can expect them to use this month certainly push their agenda and their message. over ukraine clear let's talk nato of finland joining the military alliance imminently without sweden moments ago, i asked if in this former prime minister alexander stubb about that tickle is, um 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 that is both countries. security situation is actually very good at the moment. we have defacto security guarantees as it stands. claire he's confident sweden will join the alliance eventually is that sentiment shared. certainly by the nato secretary general, who said on saturday that he was hopeful that he thinks all allies agree that a rapid conclusion of the ratification process for sweden is in everyone's interest, he said also in recent weeks that he thinks it doesn't matter if they joined at different times as long as they both join, so there's that look. obviously turkey and hungary are still holding out on sweden, turkey because it believes that sweden is not doing enough to crack down on groups that it sees as terrorist organizations. hungary has a list of grievances, including it. it believes sweden

is undermining relations between the two countries and bashing it. diplomatically arguably the finland joining nato. if you look at that map is more of a problem for russia because of that 830 mile border, more than doubling the existing border between nato and europe. but i think it's also something that the alliance will be looking at. because if sweden joins at the same time, then you get that block of countries from the russian border across the baltic to the north sea and, of course, it denies russia an opportunity to emphasize any signs of western disunity. sebastian reporting. thank you so much, claire. now elicit versions of fentanyl are causing tens of thousands of deaths ahead. chemicals used to make the drug are moved across borders before the final product lance in the united states. tech works hardd at our one and twice as harard

day more than 100,000 people into the us through the sand. ysidro crossing about 800 customs and border protection officers tasked with keeping the bad from seeping through this part of the border, very difficult and complex job for them to in a matter of moments and sometimes seconds identify whether someone presents a threat coming into the station or not among the deadliest threats illicit fentanyl, so we want to feel the door to make sure doesn't feel heavy, and there's nothing in there. the cbp tells us that more than half of all the fentanyl found over us borders comes from ports here in san diego, officials say this is ground zero for illicit fentanyl smuggling. we will probably double what we saw last year within the next month or two. that's double the amount of fencing all seized in all of 2022 just the first four months of this year, but before the fentanyl even reaches the u. s border you need to know where it's coming from. and for that we start not over there in mexico. but in china.

specifically should dajuan china , a city some 200 miles south of beijing, known for manufacturing , pharmaceutical drugs and once a major hub for fentanyl production in may 2019 facing mounting us pressure, china took a major step and banned the production and sale of all known forms of fentanyl, including any variants of the drug. that was a big step that stopped fentanyl. fitting all the powder coming in from china directing the united states. matt donahue worked for the d e, a for more than three decades, retiring last year as its chief of foreign operations . while he says finished, fentanyl is no longer flowing out of china. precursor chemicals. the ingredients to make fentanyl or if you can get to the precursor chemicals, you're going to have less fentanyl. you have less fentanyl. you have less over those deaths using that same approach in recent years, the us levied new sanctions against a handful of chinese chemical manufacturers to combat the

global illicit drug trade. we looked into one of them trading company accused of being involved in fentanyl precursor chemical sales, public records show the company was dissolved in 2021, but our investigation found the same email address once listed for hope by a tune now linked to this chinese company. shanxi ni pu, registered just days after kobe tune began to shut down and look at hobie itunes facebook page still active. it links to shanxi knipe ooh! not to mention the whatsapp contacts advertised for both companies the same, so i texted a number listed on one of shanxi knipe, who's for websites without even mentioning the word fentanyl. the seller linda wang asked if we wanted this substance, which can be used to make fentanyl then sent me this full menu of chemical products reveals these are mostly precursors legal to buy, but ones that chemist tell us can be used to manufacturer illicit

drugs from fentanyl. to cocaine . the company offers fast delivery and safety shipping door to door to usa. logan paulie is an intelligence analyst who has been investigating the flow of fentanyl precursors out of china for years. we showed him our conversation with wong warehouse in mexico city. wow wondered if wang would reveal any ties to the sanction company. tell me you are the same company as kobe tune your now called sanitary knight who import and export. ha ha! yes smiley face. sorry i don't want to cheat you. i think it's wild that they confirmed that they're the same company in an email responding to our request for comment, shanxi knight, who told us we are not related at all to obey a tune. adding that they bought the sanction companies facebook account email and cell phone number in order to quote attract internet traffic. they also deny selling the fentanyl precursor that they offered to us in multiple exchanges, and the company denies having any warehouses in the u. s. or

mexico, stressing that everything they sell is legal. we found hundreds of other chinese chemical companies selling the same fentanyl precursors legally. i mean, does this show? do you think that us sanctions aren't working or are ineffective the way in which the system is being exploited by these chinese companies makes it hard. to enforce everything. another problem when one precursor is banned, a substitute chemical quickly takes its place. so what they're doing now is they're buying compounds that are structurally very, very similar chemist point out the ease of creating a substitute ingredient called amassed precursor. simply put, make one small chemical change, and it's no longer a band precursor to legal substitute one that's readily available to purchase by essentially anyone with internet access. officials tell us the majority of precursors ship directly to mexico. cartels cook up fentanyl in secret labs. we wanted to see

for ourselves traveling into the state of sinaloa cartel country as some see it. we got exclusive access with the mexican army as they hunt for drug labs. garden they took us to their latest fentanyl lab bust this unassuming home white building right there. that's the fentanyl lab. the army says they seized 270,000 pills here all containing fentanyl. soldiers keep watch 24 7, preserving the scenes for prosecutors and preventing cartel members from restarting production here, despite what we saw and scenes like these mexico's president claims here in mexico. we do not produce fentanyl, he said, instead turning it on the us essentially asking why the u. s can't fix its own social decay. comments that immediately made

headlines across the country. china's foreign ministry points the finger in the same direction , they told us quote using china as a scapegoat will not solve the drug crisis in the united states. with us drug overdoses at record levels and a relentless demand for opioids blame shifts from one country to another international cooperation appears increasingly unlikely. if we had mexico actually working with us, you can actually work against precursors coming in and actually target chinese companies from mexico. instead the burden falls here on the u. s southern border where drugs continue to pour in. narcotics narcotics. we don't know what you don't know what it is yet they found obviously significant amount of drugs in the back trunk will continue as a will continue over this way and get out of their way because they're going to continue to investigate that finding. do you see yourself as the last line of defense, the last line of defense holding the border? but we're the first line of defense

in the expansion and hold the government outreach approach. it's not just an enforcement mission. it's a humanitarian mission, and it really is a humanitarian mission is the port director put it, especially here in the us where drug overdose deaths continue to hover near records. homeland security secretary alejandro mayorkas recently referred to fentanyl as the single greatest challenge we face as a country, so it raises the question. what can be done while experts tell us one thing that could be incredibly helpful is to go after the individual business owners rather than just the company's sanction. i pu the company that we engaged with through this reporting. well, they say they're taking steps to stop the negative influence as they put it that the u. s sanction company hobie attune has had on their company, and we're just noticing that several of the sanction i pu websites are now offline. the seller linda who we were speaking with , according to the company, she no longer works with them. david cover cnn. still ahead a legendary shots at march madness

incredible basketball, march madness is almost overseen as core wire has the highlights from the final four in houston. san diego state head coach brian dutcher used to walk around campus and hand out free tickets to san diego state games, and now his team has just drilled a buzzer beater to send the aztecs to its first ever national title game on monday. florida atlantic , they led admirably most of the game. they were up just one, though, and missed the shot with nine seconds to go, and instead of calling time out, coach dutcher decided to let his players play. lamont butler with the ball. looks like time was going to run out. he rises, fires and money. san diego state going to the title game on a legendary march madness buzzer beater. aztecs rushed the floor. some of the students told us that they drove about 1500 miles drove 20 hours to be here in houston, their hearts erupt with
