and you can can are the ones you don't want with one tap joined rocket money today. i'm dr sanjay gupta. and this is cnn. hello and a very warm welcome to cnn newsroom. i'm paula newton

coming up. is the most important day in the christian calendar, and thousands are gathering to celebrate easter mass begins at the vatican. meanwhile religious events across the middle east marred by ongoing violence, we're live in jerusalem and beirut, and why to tennessee lawmakers expelled from the statehouse could soon be back at one. live from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom with poland, he said. up first for us. it's easter sunday, the holiest day of the christian calendar. celebrating with the bible says was the resurrection of jesus. tens of thousands of the faithful have converged on st peter's square for easter mass. currently underway there. hope francis is presiding over the service. he will then deliver his traditional urbi or or be or at to the city of the world

blessing. the 86 year old pontiff has been recovering from bronchitis after being hospitalized last week now later in the show, we will head to the vatican for a live update with our delia gallagher. meantime, jews right around the world are commemorating passover. these are pictures. you see them there of the scene at the western wall. for the priestly blessing ceremony now, in addition to passover and easter, islam's holy month of ramadan is being marked in jerusalem as well with prayers taking place earlier at the al aqsa mosque. but those ceremonies have been marred by a recent surge in violence right across the region. in the latest escalation, israel has carried out a new wave of attacks on syrian territory. it has released this video, which appears to show strikes on a syrian military compound, radar systems and artillery posts. israel says it launched the strikes after rockets were fired

from syria toward israeli controlled territory, and it's just the latest escalation of tensions in the region since israeli forces stormed the aqsa mosque multiple times last week. now we want to get more about all of this from our correspondent, cnn somewhat diseases in jerusalem and scott mclean joins us from lebanon's how much are you first? listen tensions that we've just said still running high, especially given the religious importance of the last few days from what you've observed. i mean, at this point in time, it seems that every day brings a new escalation. yes a lot taking place this morning, paula. you mentioned, of course, the back and forth between syria and israel a tip for tight there, but what's really important to draw away from the claims and counter claims there is that this area of tension, this area of concern is widening if you will. already gaza, southern lebanon had been there were rockets coming from there tip for tap from there now. syria as

well in that area of concern in all of this, of course, just shows it just demonstrates. paula. how quickly, an event that takes place at that flashpoint, complex complex, rather known as the noble sanctuary, known as temple mount. any event that takes place there how quickly it spreads because that's where it all began. of course, this latest splat with those raids by israeli police that you mentioned on aqsa mosque earlier this week and all eyes on that complex yet again this morning, you have three different religious ceremonies, religious events if you will taking place within the walls of the old city, all simultaneously under heavy police heavy israeli police presence. you had overnight prayers at al aqsa mosque. of course, it's ramadan . so part of the tradition of ramadan is that worshiper stay late into the night doing prayers in the mosque that seemed to take place peacefully. but there was some friction that i have to mention. israeli authorities accused youth of barricading themselves inside

the mosque. jordan's which i have to mention here is the protectorate, the manager if you will of al aqsa mosque. quickly responded to those accusations, saying if israeli police raided that mosque again that that would only escalate violence again, the night passed peacefully, but this morning palestinian eyewitnesses saying that they were not allowed for dawn prayers at al aqsa mosque simultaneously. non muslims, jewish worshippers were allowed at the complex under heavy police presence, small numbers of them allowed to pass through and then you have those prayers happening on the western wall. you know, we have images to show you of that taking place as well. there are thousands of people for that. priestly blessing and then you can't forget. there are easter mass services as well taking place within the walls. of the old city. i know i'm painting a very complicated picture here. but what you need to know what you need to take away from this is there's a lot happening. three different faces many people at that very small, very contentious site, heavy police presence and, of course, these

heightened tensions. concerns that there could be friction, violence all eyes on that location, paula and unfortunately, these religious days in the past haven't seen as flash points. we will continue to keep an eye on it. summer for us in jerusalem. thanks so much. we now turn to lebanon, where scott mclean has been standing by scott. you know, not many people need the reminder that lebanon is already in crisis has been for several years. what could it mean for the country if they are again dragged into this wider conflict? yeah, well, look , i think the good news at this point is that things are calm, at least for now, and there have been indications from the israeli side that there will not be more strikes on lebanon provided that there are no new rocket attacks coming from lebanese territory. so at this moment, the challenge is really for the lebanese army to try to find these rockets rocket launchers that may be poised for another attack and also try to try to keep these palestinian

militant groups in southern lebanon at bay. but the reality is that that is a very difficult task. considering the complexities in this country, especially the southern part with the different factions, the different militant groups and also the simple fact that the lebanese security forces don't actually have much of your jurisdiction inside of the palestinian refugee camps in southern lebanon that the foreign minister believes that some of these rockets are actually being made in even outside of the camp as well. in that part of the country. there are plenty of places that you could easily hide weapons and the hillsides and orchards. in fact, lebanese army found a weapon. just yesterday in an orchard. we went to that same area before they found that while we didn't find weapons, we did find plenty of people who had an ax to grind with israel. about an hour south of beirut. the yellow flags of israel's sworn enemy, the lebanese militant and political group hezbollah. is the first sign that the jewish state doesn't

have many friends here. after the police raid on the el aksa mosque in jerusalem. outrage came in the form of almost three dozen rockets fired across the border from southern lebanon. palestinian refugee camps have for decades shelter tens of thousands of displaced people on friday, israel responded targeting the weapons and the palestinian militant groups. they say launched them. this is an irrigation channel running through this banana field. this used to be a bridge over top of it, leading to a hotel by the sea and obviously took a direct hit. locals say the force was so intense that it shook their homes. they also insist that this would not have been a good place to store weapons. the aftermath attracted a crowd of local residents and farmhands among them khalil al rajhi, who makes no apologies for the rockets fired at israel. this is a response, he says. this at the

very least, is a message that we as the lebanese people stand for resistance. do you want peace with israel? i asked him of course not, he says. just down the road, though it is a much different story. holland abdul sattar, a syrian refugee shows us the shrapnel he's collected from the blast that left a hole in the roof of his farmhouse. kids were sleeping here at the time. i mean, my wife and young kids, he says. i couldn't calm them down. we left syria to flee the shelling. and now this. he walked us through the orange grove passed more and more disturbed earth that was hit by shrapnel is about 200 yards away from here. it seems far until you see the size of the crater? abdul saunter says there were no weapons here. incredibly the only living casualties were the orange trees, some ripped apart

at the trunk. hezbollah has not claimed responsibility for any of the rockets fired from lebanon. neither has any palestinian armed group. the lebanese army vowed to stop the attacks and located in dismantled several rocket launchers and rockets hidden amongst the hillsides and terrorist orchards. on saturday , they found one more sign a new attack was on the way. at least for now. now again. hezbollah has not claimed responsibility for any of the rocket fire from lebanon, but its leader, hassan nasrallah, has also had precious little to say you gave a speech on friday where he did not directly address the situation, though, paula at this point, it seems that no news is good news. yeah absolutely. many people were hanging on that speech on friday. and as you indicated he did not get involved in this conflict so far, scotland claimed for us in beirut. appreciate you and that report. now against this backdrop of

violence, thousands of israelis are not backing down on their demand that benjamin netanyahu's government dropped its controversial judicial reforms. an estimated 145,000 protesters rallied saturday and tell aviv holding a moment of silence for the three people killed in the past day in terror attacks in the city and in the west bank. but then the anti reform protests resumed. it was loud marking the 14th week of demonstrations. legislative action on the proposed reforms is paused for now. but the passover holidays ends next week in the government's push could soon resumed, the protesters say. despite the violence, they must keep up their pressure. to the united states now where the two tennessee lawmakers whom republicans ousted from the statehouse last week, may soon be heading right back to work. and democrats justin jones of nashville and justin pearson of memphis who are black, were expelled from office allegedly for breaching the corum during a

gun control protests on the house floor. now a third democrat who is white, survived the expulsion by one single vote. it was the first time multiple lawmakers have been kicked out of the house in the same session since 18 66. now local commissions will choose interim lawmakers until special elections can be held. but in both cities it appears the commissioners just might choose jones and pearson to retake the seats. they just vacated. cnn's isabella gonzalez has our details. the spotlight right now is shining on those two vacant state house seats. local lawmakers in the districts of jones and pearson right now they're working to determine those next steps that tennessee constitution empowers them to appoint an interim successor. so we could be looking at a situation here where these ousted lawmakers are put back into their same seats. on friday , we saw the white house sending

support in the way of vice president kamala harris. she flew to tennessee. she met one on one with the so called tennessee three and she also spoke before a crown. listen. it wasn't about the three of these leaders. it was about who they were representing. it's about whose voices they were channeling. i understand that. and is that not what democracy allows. democracy says you don't silence the people. you do not stifle the people. you don't turn off their microphones when they are speaking. oh this week. all eyes on nashville and memphis are two biggest cities in the state of tennessee and important meeting for the metro council happening over nashville on monday, where they are looking to not only nominate, but also to appoint representative justin jones,

former representative back into his same seat. we're told by a city council member jeff syracuse, that they have the numbers that they have a super majority in order to push that vote through and meanwhile, over in memphis in the shelby county area, the commissioners office there. mckell lowry, the chairman of the board of commissioners, saying that they will not discuss pearson's situation until their regularly scheduled meeting happening. on wednesday. isabelle rose, olas, cnn atlanta it's good. and that report. you heard the emotion that the vice president spoke with and now jones and pearson's supporters. say that this is an attack on democracy and worse, the chairman of the tennessee house democratic caucus, says the majority republicans are quote drunk on power and is calling their actions abusive. he spoke with cnn saturday. listen they tried to silence us at every turn. and here we were having a trial to expel members who had become frustrated that

their voice was being silence. and then they did the exact same thing during the trial to expel them. these are two incredibly bright, strong voices that we need in our house democratic caucus. as the chairman of the house democratic caucus. i value their voice and everybody across tennessee certainly does as well . we need them back where they belong in the offices to which they were duly elected my colleagues out for breaking a simple house rule of going to the well without permission. that's it. when you look at the reasons for expulsion, we've only had three members expelled since the civil war in tennessee legislature why they really kicked them out. you know that's up for debate, but i think it's pretty clear, you know. it's a violation of democracy almost doesn't do what happened. just this. this is a serious serious threat or what we have here in tennessee is one party rule, and they have just become drunk on power is a stream abuse of power

. we continue to see it over and over again, and this is just the latest example of their abusive power. that was tennessee house democratic caucus chairman john ray clemens, speaking earlier with cnn. apparent us intelligence documents. some marked top secret have shown up on social media. and now the justice department is joining the pentagon and investigating how this could have happened. we'll have the latest from washington, plus ukrainian children hug their parents for the first time. after they were taken against their will to russia. cnn was there when the families were reunited and emotional stories. internet without malicious websites without m malware ridden, fails, zen be more cyber zen. get nord

korea and others. the department of justice has now opened an investigation into this apparent trove of classified u. s documents that have appeared on social media sites in recent weeks, and these documents cover a wide range of topics like us support for ukraine. south korean officials concerns about providing ammunition to the united states that could then be given to ukraine to be used in the ukraine war you a united arab emirates ties to russia information having to do with us. the allies such as israel now we don't know the source of these leaks, and we also can't independently verify that these documents haven't been altered in some way, but they do appear similar to the initial trove of documents having to do with the u. s support for ukraine that caught attention earlier in the week, and u. s officials did confirm that those documents appeared to be authentic now, in addition to the department of

justice, opening this investigation, the pentagon says they are looking into the matter and looking at these documents is pretty surreal because they are photos of crumpled up pieces of paper that have classified markings on them. some holding top secret markings, which is the highest level of classification, some holding markings of the office at the pentagon that advises president biden so obviously creating quite a bit of alarm among us officials, particularly at the pentagon. kylie atwood, cnn washington. ukrainian troops are fighting to keep a lifeline open to the embattled city of buck mood today. cnn team reports near constant artillery fire in the town of charset br. on a key supply route there. now, the fighting suggests ukrainians are working hard to keep russians away from that road as they try to regain ground inbox. mood meantime, ukraine says its

energy system has been struck by more than 1200, russian rockets and drones. the statement didn't say over which period of time but the energy grid has been repeatedly targeted for months now. now we are hearing emotional personal stories from a group of ukrainian children who were allegedly deported by russia more than 30 of them returned to ukraine friday after spending months in russia and occupied crimea. cnn's nick paton. walsh was there when the children were reunited with their families. jubilant scenes in kiev as ukrainian ngo save ukraine returned home a number of children who have gone through hellish months and a very secure this route out of occupied parts of ukraine, held by russia back through russia proper itself, um, belarus into ukraine itself. some of these children accompanied out on a rescue mission by their own parents. some of these children guided out by the parents of other children who had the power of attorney from their own families to bring them back to

ukraine proper. we spoke to one mother and son arena and bogged down from head office on one of the first part of ukraine to be occupied by russia, and she recalled how horrified she'd been struggling to get through to her 13 year old son, finally reaching a teacher. despite the appalling phone connections, here's what they had to say. we were driving here for nearly a week, and i met my mother for the first time in six months. we went to the summit camp for two weeks, but we've got stuck there for six months. why should i cry now? but i cried when i saw my mom from the bus. i'm very happy to be back. there was no phone connection. i was very worried. i didn't know anything, whether he was being abused what was happening to him? i was calling his teacher asking for at least five minutes just to hear my son's voice to make sure he was alright. my hands are still shaking down there. very

cavalier flippant seems to have sort of washed off him or the fear of those months but still clear that for six months he was held against his will and part of a number of stories we heard of these rescued children. deported held against their will , some further inside russia in occupied parts of ukraine, part of this pattern of behavior that's behind the international criminal court's indictment against russian president vladimir putin and his envoy for child welfare, saying this is happening, according to ukraine on a scale of possibly tens of thousands. of children but startling scenes of jubilation here as its ngo continues to try and bring to light through small numbers of children rescued and brought back to ukraine. quite frankly, the horror of these families forcibly separated by russia during their invasion. nick paton walsh. cnn kiev, ukraine. another woman accused of the bombing that killed russian military blogger bloodline. tarter ski is said to

it's of course, a taxing week. how is the pope faring? well that's right, paula. i mean, really, if you consider that just last saturday, was released from the hospital after a bout of bronchitis, um, the fact that he's even here in st peter's square is already quite something you know. he missed the friday evening via crucis at the coliseum. it's at nine o'clock at night in the vatican said look due to the cold weather. we have been having a real cold spell. the pope was going to sit that out and under normal occasion if a pope skips an event, that's a problem, but given all of the events that he's had to do this week, and the fact of the bronchitis and he's 86 years old. it seemed like a wise decision to allow him to rest because he's had so many events. this is the final one of really a long week since palm sunday and i would say paula that he looks fine. you know, as well as you can expect, given all of the things he's been going through, but of course, he has an ongoing mobility problems and he is 86

years old. so going forward, it's going to be interesting to see if he's going to have to slow down. how he's going to manage. he's already mostly in a wheelchair. he doesn't do the processions anymore. his voice is certainly stronger than when i spoke to him last saturday when he got out of the hospital, so that's already a good sign. the bronchitis probably has gone , but when you're not moving at 86 years old, it brings up a whole host of issues, especially for a pope, who has to move around quite a lot. if you consider his international trips as well as all the things he has to do. these ceremonies are very long. this is two hours last night was 2.5 hours. so it's quite a lot of stamina. now the pope is up to it because he's got that great interior strength . he just keeps going. he says. you don't need two legs to be a pope. just one head so he always has a joke. ready about his health, but certainly we're focusing on his health a lot these days and going forward, paulo absolutely. and going forward. you made clear, right, delia. this pope has an idea about how he wants to address the fact that there may come a

time where he cannot have the capacity to carry out these duties. he has said it paula. he said that he has a resignation letter ready to go in the event that he should become incapacitated mentally or physically, to the point where he can't keep up. he has said that very openly. the question is, he's the only one that can decide when that time comes, and france's so far in the 10 years of his pontificate has shown to have this great. uh, some something like john paul, the second hand. he's really in it. he's in his role, and i don't think he's given any indication that he wants to invoke that letter. but as we say there are physical limitations sometimes, and he will have to be the one who decides whether or not that's going to happen. paula we continue to enjoy the pictures there from what i say is, it seems like a gorgeous day at the vatican and delia, as you pointed out before, and you saw at the hospital, he even took that occasion. really to me. get

a moment of service for him, even though he was in the hospital recovering delia, thanks again, and we will continue to check in with you. now to rival rulings in two separate states are fueling even further uncertainty over a woman's right to choose. in texas a federal judge has ruled that the food and drug administration's approval of an abortion drug should be halted. even though that approval was given more than 20 years ago. the u. s. justice department reacted immediately announcing it will appeal. us vice president kamala harris said the ruling threatens to further erode women's choices on healthcare. so um, mr record in the abortion medication. position came down today. i haven't read it yet, so i'm going to do an analysis of it. but if the general matter i'll say that there is no question that the president and i are going to stand with the women of america and do everything we can to ensure that women have the ability to make decisions about their health care their

reproductive health care in a manner that is what they need, and they decide that not their government. now at the same time , a federal judge in washington state has gone in the opposite direction, ordering that access must be maintained to the medication in 17 democratic led states and the district of columbia. but as cnn's joan scuba explains, the supreme court might want to get involved this time. the ruling from texas judge matthew kiss merrick, invalidating fda approval of a medication abortion drug could be the most consequential if it survives first at a lower regional court of appeals and then at the supreme court, but let me add some context about the supreme court for this particular chapter of the abortion wars. based on what the five justice court majority said last june in the dabs opinion, rolling back a woman's constitutional right to end a pregnancy, the challengers might not have the same five votes to

completely eliminate medication . abortion in all states, including states that right now permit abortion when they ruled last june, the justices essentially said. we're done. it's up to the individual states now. samuel alito, who wrote the majority opinion said it was time to quote return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives just just to spread cavanaugh, who appeared to provide the critical fifth vote when further, he wrote a separate statement, emphasizing the judges would no longer undertake the quote, difficult moral and policy questions related to when a woman is allowed to end a pregnancy to be clear cabinet added that court's decision today does not outlaw abortion throughout the united states. on the contrary, the court's decision properly leaves the question of abortion for the people and their elected representatives in the democratic process. well, that would not be the situation if a judge could invalidate longstanding fda approval for an

abortion drugs that women rely on in states that permit abortion. i'll also add a note about the nature of the appeal that the department of justice will be filing it will address the regulatory authority of the fda to use its own expertise to camp. pensively evaluate drugs. any drugs, so this case could have sweeping ramifications. the dobbs decision was a legal thunderbolt. if this judge's decision is allowed to stand, it would be another shock in the broader health care and medical realms. joan biskupic, cnn washington. meantime, new york's democratic governor, kathy hotel , says she intends to introduce a bill in the state legislature as early as monday to try to quote get ahead of this, take a listen to what she told cnn saturday. this ruling is simply horrifying. and you just wonder when will this stop? now? it's the mega judges and the mega legislatures extremist republican party. they just

won't stop and now they're coming after all other forms medication provided abortions. these are rights we cherish have always taken for granted. and this is an insult to all women, and it has to stop. now supporters of abortion rights are furious over the ruling to block the drug. democratic senator john fetterman slammed it as yet another attempt by republicans to impose a nationwide abortion ban. cnn's elena treen has more now from washington. democrats immediately started railing against the court's decision once it was announced, and some like senator ron wyden and congresswoman alexandria ocasio cortez went so far as to say that president biden should ignore the routing the ruling altogether. republican lawmakers , meanwhile, have been far less outspoken, and some of the leaders have virtually been silent on the issue. now that's something that senate majority leader chuck schumer pointed out on a press call saturday morning. here's what he had to say. i think the republicans know that these their decisions

that dobbs decision, this court decision are wildly unpopular with the american people. they're probably at least in some of the survey data on popular with a large number of republicans. so what? they are afraid to speak out. but that is outrageous. now i will argue. schumer's press call was on a saturday during the holiday weekend, so i'm not sure how many republicans were paying close attention to him, but schumer's point was valid. this is very tricky territory for republicans to navigate abortion in the wake of the dobbs decision has not been a winning message for them, and we saw that during the 2022 midterm elections. as for what congress can do, they don't have many options. the bill the bills that they want to pass are essentially dead on arrival, and they can and someone already have begun applying pressure on the button administration to appeal the ruling. but legislatively, there isn't much that congress can do. schumer did say, however, that senate democrats remain committed to passing the women's health protection act, which is a bill aimed at preserving abortion access nationwide, but that legislation failed to pass last

news central tomorrow at nine eastern. u s. supreme court justice clarence thomas says he did nothing wrong by not disclosing lavish trips paid for by the republican mega donor. you see him there, harlan crow. the trips included globetrotting on crow's yacht and private jet over some 25 years. the price tag for that travel would run into at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. but justice thomas says he was advised he wasn't required to disclose those trips at the time, even though the rules were

recently changed. the controversy was first reported by the nonprofit media outlet propublica. and one of the reporters who worked on the story told cnn. some ethics lawyers disagree with justice thomas listen. clarence thomas appears to be referring to there is the ethics in government act . it's a law that was passed after watergate that by law requires many government officials, including supreme court justices to disclose most gifts they received to the public. and so after justice thomas released a statement the day after our story published we went to seven ethics law experts , including former lawyers, former ethics lawyers for the white house and congress, and we asked him about it. we asked him about the law, and all of them said that, clarence thomas, um you know, the law clearly required that things like private jet trips be disclosed, and that if thomas is arguing otherwise, he's incorrect. um i

didn't mean to your broader point. um you know, i think one thing that's important to note is that there are very, very few restrictions. i want gifts justices can accept. they have to disclose most gifts. but there's no world in which it was against ethics law for him to go on a super yacht around the world and fly on a private jet, even if it could have cost half a million dollars, and that's a really stark contrast to the other branches of government. the ongoing feud between florida's governor and disney is becoming more heated. in two consecutive appearances. the governor vowed to hit back after disney moved to limit the power that a descent is backed board would have over the company. listen. now that this has been reopened, all options are on the table. we're going to look at things like taxes on the hotel's . we're going to look at things like tolls on the roads were going to look at things like

developing some of the property that the district owns. cnn's steve contour no has been following this story for us and has our report. the power struggle in florida over disney special taxing district continue this week with ron desantis escalating the fight. the governor of florida this week said he would retaliate against disney after the company pushed through an agreement at the 11th hour that shifted the power of its special taxing district to the company to santa said he has a whole bunch of ideas for how the state might retaliate against disney and offered these ideas. the media. um you know, trying to get spun up about disney trying to do these agreements, you know very quietly right before we took control, and they're acting like somehow that they that they pulled one over on the state. they can keep trying to do things, but ultimately we're going to win on every single issue involving disney. i can tell you that desantis isn't the only one speaking out this week.

on monday, disney ceo bob iger told shareholders that he will continue to invest in florida. and defended the company's actions in the states. however he had some choice words for the governor for coming after disney over its opposition to last year's bill that limited how teachers can talk about sexual orientation and gender identity in the classroom. and so our point on this is that any action that thwarts those efforts simply to retaliate for a position the company took sounds not just anti business, but it sounds anti florida in addition to threatening to tax disney's hotels and put new tolls in place desantis this week also launched an investigation into the deal that was brokered between disney and its special taxing district. the state's attorney general has asked everyone involved to turn over proper records related to the agreement, and we have i've also seen the board for this special district hire a bunch of lawyers and their attempts to claw back their authority. for cnn in st petersburg. i'm steve cantor.
