states and around the world and leila harakah, head on cnn newsroom the us racist to reassure allies and contain the fallout after one of the country's biggest intelligence leaks in years, chaos and sudan explosions and gunfire ringing through the streets. dozens reported dead amid violent clashes. between the sudanese army and a rival paramilitary group and the end of an era germany powers down the last of its nuclear plants, making good on a decades old promise the opening the door to new problems. from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom with laila harre. after a huge leak of us intelligence information. u. s officials are engaging in damage control and grappling with fallout both at home and abroad. 21 year old massachusetts national guardsmen jack to sarah
11:02 pm
is in custody this hour in connection with the crime is charged under the espionage act , and his next hearing is on wednesday, investigators say to sarah began posting classified materials on the social media platform disco. last december. there is information on us friends and foes, including some blunt appraisals of key allies. the washington post is reporting that pentagon assessments found in the documents question taiwan's ability to defend itself against china in a direct conflict. other allies such as israel and ukraine, also mentioned but secretary of state antony blinken said saturday that the leak has not impacted global cooperation. what i've heard so far. at least is, um, an appreciation for the steps that we're taking. and it's not affected. our cooperation. i
11:03 pm
just haven't seen that haven't heard that. while the us has been reaching out to international partners and inquiries are underway at both the pentagon and the justice department. cnn white house correspondent jeremy diamond has more on what's ahead for investigators. the pentagon is working to assess now the potential damage to u s national security. that's because we're talking about dozens of highly classified documents that were leaked online allegedly by this 21 year old airman jack to share a this intelligence spans the gamut really, we're talking about looks into how deep the u. s has been able to get into the russian ministry of defense as well as the russian mercenary group. the wagner group were also talking about what the us does in terms of intelligence gathering with key us allies. eavesdropping on ally is like south korea, israel and ukraine and also now some new information about taiwan and their vulnerability to a potential chinese air attacks. so now the pentagon in partnership with these
11:04 pm
intelligence agencies is working to assess what the potential damage could be to us national security and also to those u s allies. we did get a statement from president biden yesterday about what he would like to see . and he says in this statement, quote that he commends the rapid action taken by law enforcement to investigate and respond to the recent dissemination. of classified u. s government documents. while we're still determining the validity of those documents, i have directed our military and intelligence community to take steps to further secure and limit distribution of sensitive information, and our national security team is closely coordinating with our partners and allies. now we do know that the defense secretary lloyd austin, has already been working. to assess the potential access and security of classified information going forward. reviewing some of the protocols about who has access to this information as one of the central questions here is really why jack to share a had access to this information and whether other people like him should potentially not have
11:05 pm
access to it going forward now, in terms of this damage assessment that the pentagon is conducting, that is separate from the investigation being led by the justice department that led to these charges in the arrest objective, shera on thursday, but that damage assessment could ultimately be used as evidence in a potential eventual trial. and here is what we know about jacket to share out so far at this hour, the 21 year old massachusetts air national guardsman remains in custody. he's charged under the espionage act with unauthorized retention and transmission of national defense information and unauthorized removal of classified information and defense materials. he will remain jailed at least until wednesday when a detention hearing is set. to sudan. now we're heavy fighting has been raging between the military and paramilitary force, the central committee of sudan doctor says at least 56 people have been
11:06 pm
killed since the power struggle broke out on saturday. in the capital khartoum. loud explosions echoed through the streets, forcing some civilians to runaway gunshots were also heard near the airport, where giant plumes of smoke rose high into the air. the rsf paramilitary group says they gained control of most of the city's strategic size, but the military disputes those claims. and has deployed more planes to search for the rsf fighters, accusing them of starting the conflict. sudan's former prime minister urged both sides to restore calm and protect civilians. i speak to you today as our country faces the danger of separation. and i say to you that when a bullet is fired from a weapon, it cannot tell the difference between the attacker and those being attacked and the
11:07 pm
victims are the sudanese people. cnn's larry maduro joins us now with more larry. this is still very much a fluid situation. how are things right now? leila there's been a flurry of diplomatic activity overnight to try and get the two warring sides in sudan to back to the negotiating table. but there is no breakthrough. and now we're now into day two and still a lot of uncertainty in khartoum and across the nation because the two men at the center of this general burhan and general committee have taken hardline positions and they're calling each other criminals. they're saying there'll be no negotiation. that's what the army is saying, and they continue to claim to be taking even more territory. so instead of de escalation, we seem to be hurtling towards the opposite direction. but how did we get here? here's a good primer. sudan's hopes for democracy once again shattered by the sounds of gunfire in khartoum. civilians have been told to take cover,
11:08 pm
while two of the country's main military factions, the army and a powerful paramilitary group called the rapid support forces , or rsf fight for supremacy. fighter jets launched by the army, led by general abdel fattah albarran, over the sudanese capital with fighting reported in key sites like the presidential palace and khartoum international airport. this video shows the chaos inside the terminal, with some people fearing for their lives as a battles flared outside. and the gunshots in some parts of khartoum's so loud they could be heard during a live television broadcast clashes also erupting in other parts of the country with rsf fighters in the northern city of marawi claiming to control a military airbase there. it's unclear which side started the fighting. general mohammed hamdan dygalo, better known as monte heads the rsf, which analysts say is 100,000 strong. and grew out of the
11:09 pm
country's bloody conflict in darfur. mnt says the army instigated the battle calling albert han criminal. the army accused the rsf of traitorous plotting and says there will be no dialogue until the group is dissolved. tensions between the two factions have been festering since negotiations restarted to return to dance civilian rule. part of the deal requires the rsf to merge with the army. but there were strong disagreements over how long they should take and who would ultimately have more power. both albert hahn and hamiti have worked together in the past when their interests aligned the army and the rsf taking part in the coup four years ago to overthrow a longtime sudanese leader, omar al bashir. and both were involved in another coup two years later, when the military seized control over transitional power sharing government which is mentally to civilian rule. the country's former prime minister, now appealing for both sides to stop the fighting. the
11:10 pm
exchange of fire must stop immediately, and the voice of reason must rule. everyone will lose and there is no victory when it is atop the bodies of our people. there have been widespread calls for calm by the united nations, the african union and the united states. but it's the infighting once again in sudan that is threatening its chances of a democratic future. overnight there's been condemnation from the u. n. security council from saudi arabia, united arab emirates and from parties really across the region here in kenya and somalia and ethiopia, even south sudan. so where do things stand right now? incident 56 people are reported to have died by the central sudan doctors committee and a lot more almost 600. people have been wounded. those casualties numbers unfortunately , will increase in a full accounting is done and when peace resumes. in sudan, and this was always a something that was going to happen. all sudan watches, so these building attention over the past couple of weeks, but especially this
11:11 pm
week between the rapid support forces that are backed, have been trained by russia and the official sudanese military, except that the main contention as i mentioned in that piece is over who will be ultimately in charge of combined military, the rapid support forces and the sudanese armed forces can't agree on the timeline to return to civilian rule. in sudan, which is the one sticking point to this long overdue return to civilian rule in sudan, which appears now to be not just derailed by these latest clashes, probably delayed later. very model reporting. thank you so much, larry. for more. i'm joined by cameron hudson, a senior associate at the center for strategic and international studies, africa center. cameron so good to have you again with us. this has been such a fast developing and volatile situation. let's start with who are these two rival parties? why are they fighting and why now? well what we're seeing here is the breakdown of the security services in sudan. on one side.
11:12 pm
you have this sudan armed forces than the national army essentially of the country pitted against the rapid support forces, which is kind of militia force that has emerged in the last few years been legitimized under the presidency of omar al bashir, essentially as a counterweight to the sudan armed forces, and what we're seeing now is the breakdown of a set of political talks that were going on. for the last few weeks between these two forces about how to integrate these forces into one new national army and how to reform that new national army to be responsive to civilian leaders, which is the ultimate goal of the transition process in sudan. um what we've seen, though, in the last 48 hours is a complete breakdown of those political talks and now a standoff and even a reversion of fighting between these two essentially conventional armed forces. is there any incentive for these armed forces to give
11:13 pm
up power and allow the country to transition to civilian rule peacefully? i mean, what does it mean for the pro democracy movement in sudan? well i think that's the biggest challenge here is that both of these factions see this reform process as an existential threat to their hold on power. i mean, i think it's worth reminding viewers that that in sudan 70 year history as an independent country 50 of those years plus have been under military rule, the country has experienced 16 coup d'etat. as so this is a situation where the military feels very comfortable running the country and is resistant. and to giving that up, so i think it it creates a power dynamic. where because both sides see their very existence as threatened and they're very hold on power and economic power as threatened, they are loathe to negotiate it away. um for the democratic movement in the country. i think this is yet another setback. i think it's
11:14 pm
important to note that during these security sector talks that had been going on for the past few weeks, civilian leaders were not a part of those talks, i think demonstrate rating to a lot of us that they were really a kind of marginal player in the future dispensation of the country, and that's a very worrying signal. if what we want to see is civilians running this country, they should have been at those talks. they should have been at those talks. they were not very anxious time for the people of sudan. i mean, who have been as you outlined steadfast in their resolve to do away with military rule. where this all this now leave the people of sudan. well i think that they're kind of used to some of this. unfortunately the people that i've been speaking to friends and colleagues, um you know, have their kind of shelter in place routine, well established, so this is not a surprise to any of us that have been watching these talks unfold over the last weeks and months, and even i would say for the
11:15 pm
past several years there has been tension within the military among hardline leaders and more moderate leaders, and certainly tension between the rapid support. forces and the military. so for many of us, i think we saw this fight as potentially inevitable. it's obviously regrettable that it's happening right now. but i think it's a measure of the fact that the stakes in sudan are so high and whoever wins this fight is likely to be the next you know, ruler of sudan again, not talking about a democratic civilian leader. the military still sees this as a fight to control the future of the country. let's talk a little bit more about the stakes. how does the us look at what is going on in sudan? should washington be concerned? well they are concerned. i mean, this is a major setback. i think for washington's diplomacy, washington has been the lead diplomatic and actor and sudan for close to two decades. now we've invested countless diplomatic hours and hundreds of millions, if not billions of
11:16 pm
dollars to try to keep this country together and to put it on to a path towards civilian and democratic rule. we have a very active ambassador on the ground who has been trying to bring the parties together. um but what what washington has lacked in all of this. this is a real kind of pressure. uh um, use of pressure. we have walked back the use of sanctions and talk of punitive measures we've been trying to encourage, uh, the actors to come to the negotiating table with incentives, incentives for debt relief incentives for financial investment in the country. and that clearly hasn't worked. i don't think that the military is going to respond to incentives. they give orders. they give pressure. they're going to respond to that, and that's something that has been lacking in the international response. chance thus far. so what will resolve this? i mean, how is this going to pan out? well i think there's a lot of a lot of concern that these that these two sides have been planning on
11:17 pm
this fight for a very long time . they've been preparing for this fight for a very long time , and they're not going to relent until they feel like they have it accomplished some of their battlefield goals. so you know we're only one day into this. i think there's a real concern. we've already seen very powerful influential states like the saudis, like the emiratis weighing in trying and to draw this back the african union and other regional actors trying to tamp this down, and there's been virtually no response from the from the warring parties thus far, so i think that there's still some fighting that they feel like they need to, um to try to get out of them before they're ready to talk. so it will be a very worrying few days, i think in in sudan very few worrying days in sudan, cameron hudson. thank you. thank you. at least seven people are dead after gunmen opened fire on people at a public pool in central mexico. local officials say it happened saturday

11:22 pm
vagner group captured two more areas of the eastern ukrainian city of mahmoud on saturday. well the institute for the study of war think tank in washington , appeared to back up the russian claims based on a geo located video. ukraine is yet to comment well, the battle for bomb attacks seeing some of the fiercest fighting since the start of russia's invasion. meanwhile ukrainian officials say a mother and daughter were killed by russian shelling in her son on saturday, and that comes after at least 11 people were killed, including a two year old boy and a russian strike on friday on residential buildings in the ukrainian city of slovyansk. cnn's ben wedeman has been assessing the damage in slavia's can. he filed this report. friday afternoon. a russian s 300 missile slammed into this building here in slovyansk in eastern ukraine. this was one of eight separate
11:23 pm
missile strikes that happened within minutes of one another here, the biggest strike on this city yet here in this building. they have recovered the body of a two year old child. he actually was pulled from the rubble still alive, but he died shortly afterwards in the ambulance, his father, according to the rescue workers here. they believe is still under the rebel . they were with a family that had left slovyansk earlier in the war, but it had returned because they thought it was safe for now, the mayor's office tells us that at least 30 apartment buildings were damaged in this strike and more than 30. houses were also damaged. their rescue. contain operation continues. they believe there is still more bodies underneath the rebel continue to dig. i'm ben
11:24 pm
wedeman. cnn reporting from slovyansk in eastern ukraine. in a stark counterpoint to the russian missile barrage. vladimir putin marked orthodox easter this weekend at a service in moscow. russian president went to midnight mass in moscow, echoing the priest in prayers. otherwise, mr putin stood holding a candle but barely said a word. the russian orthodox church has been strongly supportive of mr putin's war on ukraine and mr putin show of piety came a day after he signed a new military draft law creating an electronic draft registry. that means draftees will now receive their call up papers electronically and don't have to sign for them. alright i believe we can now go to claire , who is in london for us. yes
11:25 pm
there you are, claire. so good to have you with us. let's start . let's start with this electronic draft. a bill that mr putin just signed. what will it mean? yeah this is a interesting bill. the kremlin is denying any sense that this might signify a second wave of mobilization. but of course, that is the widespread speculation around this coming at a time, of course, where we know that they are suffering significant losses of manpower on the frontline. more light has been shed on that, of course by those leaked pentagon. documents the law itself adds an extra way of calling people up to enlist it. uh it adds an electronic method you cannot have have the papers uploaded to your account in this government portal that russians have, and this means that it doesn't have to be delivered by hand as it traditionally has been, and it also means that you don't even have to have read it
11:26 pm
to be considered notified. now the law doesn't just make it easier for the government to call people up and makes it much harder to avoid. oid being called up. as soon as you've been notified, you're not allowed to leave the country. then after 20 days, if you haven't reported to your local enlistment office, you will be subject. some pretty punitive penalties. you can't take out a loan. you can't register a new car or a new property. there are restrictions on your driving license, really coercive penalties to try to get people to go to their enlistment offices. so now, as i said, the kremlin is saying, this is not about a second wave of mobilization. obviously russia has an annual draft twice yearly for its regular army. but it has, of course raised that speculation, particularly given the situation. on the battlefield. extraordinary development there. let's talk about the chinese and the russian defense ministers are expected to hold a security talks next week. how is that being perceived by ukraine's allies? you know, this is, i think going to just underscore the level of engagement between russia and china, coming just
11:27 pm
three weeks after the chinese premier president xi jinping was in moscow, this really does smack as sort of a follow up to that. it also comes amid widespread speculation, of course, that china the us is that it's concerned china could be considering providing military aid to russia's war in ukraine. there's no evidence to support that. as of yet, but the russian defense minister, saying that he will meet with sergei shoigu, russian defense minister and that they will discuss the statement outlook for bilateral cooperation in the defense sector. so that will raise scrutiny as well. the fact that just two days before this trip, russia announced snap military drills in the pacific just this morning. we have new video out from the russian defense ministry of nuclear capable bombers carrying out patrols as part of those snap drills. all of that shows the increasing level of defense engagement between the two sides. this is well i think will underscore russia's commitment with china
11:28 pm
to creating this sort of counter alliance to counter the u. s led alliance and its support. for ukraine, the chinese defense minister that has just a month into his job has actually been sanctioned by the us in 2018 later. all right. claire sebastian in london. thank you. so much for your reporting. and just ahead. japan's prime minister narrowly escapes a violent attack, and now he's speaking out about the need to keep public officials safe from harm. i'll speak with an expert in tokyo. hmm batman. does it click a snack man? wonderful pistachios . get cracking. uh huh. no i can find someone they love extra projects.e need promotional

11:33 pm
sir. after those very dramatic scenes of the japanese prime minister being evacuated luckily unharmed on saturday after that, explosion at a venue where he was giving that outdoor speech. it has many wondering about the security of politicians in japan. how could this have happened? sure. it's a difficult issue in terms of security in that. security is normally handled by local police forces. japan here has a prefectural based police system. there are especial police sps as they're called who guard the prime minister and some major politicians. but at campaign events like this, the people who are going to be trying to control the crowd, and we're going to be all around them are around the prime minister, our local police forces and mhm.
11:34 pm
many of them don't have really a lot of training in terms of crowd control that embed involves well possible assailants. that's going to become a big question going forward how that's going to be handled, especially since in may in prime minister kishi gets home probe prefecture there is going to be the hiroshima g seven summit and there's been a lot of hand wringing here. do we have the capacity to protect the world's leaders? um let's talk first about you know, japan now has seen two major attacks against very high profile politicians in one calendar year . it's quite striking. slightly disconcerting. is there concern in japan that this is becoming, you know, too commonplace? there's certainly a sense that bar that barrier that used to exist has fallen that, uh, politics in japan is very retail. there's a lot of going out to meet people. there's a
11:35 pm
lot of person face to face contact. that's very personal. uh and, uh, this is always been held to be in a atmosphere. of. well basic safety and now with these two events, one possibly being a copycat event of the previous one, the assassination of former prime minister abe a few months back that that wonderful aura of safety may indeed be broken, and we will be entering a new era where we have to have some kind of barrier between ourselves and the politicians. what is japan security record? it's been very good. very few, uh, assassinations have taken place now. you talked about a calendar year in the year. 1960 for example, prime minister kishi was stabbed in july by an assailant who was angry at the
11:36 pm
outcome of the vote for renewal of the us japan security treaty. and a few months later, the head of the socialist party was stabbed to death by sword wheeling assailant while he was making a speech on television. this kind of violence is very rare in japan, but it's not absolutely unthinkable, but. again people are still very shocked that it has been an attack has come so quickly after the death of prime minister abe michael checker. thank you so much for joining us and providing us with the perspective from tokyo greatly appreciated. thank you. now the u. s. is taking aim at the production and distribution of illegal fentanyl. on friday, the justice department announced new charges against more than two dozen people in china and mexico . high ranking members of the sonora cartel are among those charged, including three sons of
11:37 pm
the infamous drug lord joaquin el chapo guzman. the us also announced sanctions against multiple companies seen in a correspondent of polo sandoval has more newly unsealed indictments filed in the state of illinois washington, d. c. and here in new york. peter very dark and disturbing picture of what the u. s department of justice considers to be the most prolific fentanyl trafficking organization that they've ever investigated. and right in the middle of it all are the so called chappie toes or little chapo's. they are the sons of notorious sinaloa cartel kingpin joaquin el chapo guzman. you see when he was sentenced to prison for the rest of his life in 2019 . they basically inherited part of this massive drug empire only that they expanded it to include fentanyl and also made that business even more violent. and it's one that has very far reaches. when you look at some of these images that have been shared by the u. s drug enforcement administration, and they show how it all worked.
11:38 pm
according to federal investigators, cartel brokers would purchase proof precursor chemicals, which are basically the ingredients used. to make fat dull, and they would ship them to secret labs in mexico. that is where, according to officials, they would turn these precursors into powder or pills and some cases. from the labs. these this substance was then smuggled either over or even in some cases under the border through tunnels and in the u. s is where criminal organizations would mix the fentanyl into drugs like cocaine, heroin, and in some cases, according to officials will even sell the fentanyl pills as counterfeit prescription pain medications leading to many overdose incidents. all that money. all the profits would then end up going back into mexico continue into the cartels, pockets and continuing to fuel this massive operation authorities over the course of several indictments, charging well over two dozen individuals. some according to the head of the d, a already in custody while the search is on
11:39 pm
for several others. i want you to hear directly from the u. s. attorney general as he describes why this case that was officially unveiled a few days ago. is so significant thing that makes this case particularly important is that we're going after the entire network from precursors to importation into mexico to the manufacturer to the weapons to the money launderers to the distribution in the united states, but we this is just one, uh, of the most important cases we've brought. that's us attorney general merrick garland also going into some extremely disturbing details about the inner workings of the sinaloa cartel and the chip. pepito saying that some of the defendants named in these indictments would even test the potency of their fentanyl on individuals who were tied down and also at the cartel would often feed their rivals to tiger's dead. we're live it's very disturbing detail that certainly underscores just the violent nature of this organization. prosecutors say organization that they say is
11:40 pm
responsible for a majority of the fentanyl ending up in the united states, killing at least close to 200 people a day. polo sandoval, cnn. new york. and we want to introduce you to a new program that will make you see immigration issues and a whole new light. cnn's nick paton walsh travels with a group of migrants trying to reach the united states and as they meet the arduous trek on foot through the darien gap from colombia, panama, take a look. at dawn. the first thing that strikes you is how few of them seem to grasp what's coming, gently packing crackers and tying sneakers. like waving a kleenex at a storm . the second thing that strikes you is how organized the cartel wanted to see.

started. take the adviser match quiz now at smart asset .com. this close this close. this is cnn. the world's news network. germany has made good on a decades old promise to stop using nuclear energy. on saturday, the nation closed its last three nuclear power plants , and there has been opposition to the power source in germany for decades. causes of food phones. today is a big success for us the shutting down of the last three nuclear reactors. i think the main reason was fukushima in 2011, but also our decades long fight against nuclear power has played a role , and that is why we are finally enjoying this huge success today. but others say nuclear
11:47 pm
powered electricity is cleaner than the alternatives and shutting it down. we'll harm rather than help the environment. and we are against the german closure of their nuclear power plants because they will be replaced by fossil fuels mainly cold that pollutes the earth with air pollution and to so we're here to demonstrate against it. the closure of the green nuclear power plants. joining me now, dolores augustine is a professor emeritus in the department of history at st john's university . and she's also the author of taking on technocracy nuclear power in germany, 1945 to the present, professor. so good to have you with us. i mean, really , your book is on point. this decision has been a long time coming. can you briefly walk us through how the country germany arrived at this pivotal moment?
11:48 pm
historical contingency really is the main explanation because it started out as a, um, a grassroots anti nuclear power movement. it was basically a nimby movement. that um, was focused on keeping nuclear power plants out of a wine growing region of baden. the protesters became experts of sort started, really uh, pushing alternative energy sources, notably wind power. and that push would not have come had it not been for this protest movement exactly where i want to talk about a little bit about that, because in terms of public opinion, you know as you beautifully outlined there, the conversation around nuclear power. nuclear energy
11:49 pm
has long been very contentious. in germany, there has been kind of a push and pull their if i'm not mistaken has there been any pushback? you know now that this decision has been made in its final, there is no nuclear power anymore, not a single single nuclear reactor is operational in germany now considering the current situation that germany finds itself in terms of trying to ensure energy security. um, i don't think that this is just a generational thing. i think some people of my generation who were the protester generation i have come to regret the decision to completely abandon nuclear power because of course, the ward, ukraine. the dependency on natural gas, russian national gossip course. now they're diversifying. natural gas is also coming from norway, for
11:50 pm
example, and also from the united states. they're able now to liquid financial gas. um but they are burning more coal than they should. and in the era of global warming, of course, that's worrisome. so the debates continue the debates continue my final question to you any lessons that can be learned from the german approach. well. um i'm a historian, and i kind of, um, a little reluctant to draw uh. hard and fast conclusions. but ultimately it's a decision of the people and sometimes. the majority makes a mistake, but
11:51 pm
yes, you you just have to follow . whatever the will of the people is that this was a democratic process, and i think the process that the germans can be proud of and making these decisions about energy is wrenching, and we can never be sure that this has been, uh, the best decision possible. but the economics in countries like the united states and even britain tend to show. that nuclear power in the long run is really, among other things. just not economical. so it looks like the capitalist system also is pushing out nuclear power. delores augustine. thank you so much. oh, thank you. thank you for having me. and we'll be right back with more news after this break. so many migrants
