united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brian hooper ahead on cnn newsroom damage control efforts are far from over. following one of the most egregious intelligence breaches in u. s history. details supposed to look at where the case against the one person arrests so far stands. has access to abortion pills remains in limbo. another state is offering a safe haven for women and chaos in sudan. dozens left dead amid violent clashes between the sudanese army and a rival paramilitary group. live from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom with kim bruun hoover. officials are engaging in damage control and grappling with fallout both at home and abroad after a huge leak of us intelligence information, 21 year old massachusetts national guardsmen jack teixeira is in custody ahead of a court appearance this week. investigators say he began posting classified materials online last december. there's
1:02 am
information on us friends and foes, including some blunt appraisals of key allies. according to the washington post pentagon assessments found in the documents question taiwan's ability to defend itself against china in a direct conflict. other allies like israel and ukraine are also mentioned. the u. s secretary of state says the leak hasn't impacted global cooperation us house democrats or you laughter and says new safeguards have to be balanced with respect for individual rights. that he was posting some of this material. online and it was not promptly discovered is of concern. on the other hand. uh the world wide web is a big place and this was an obscure part of the web, so we do need to take a look at how we might better become alert to such items while maintaining a free society. cnn senior national security correspondent alex marquardt has more now on the
1:03 am
suspect and the case against him. airman first class jack to share a is just 21 years old. he's been in the air national guard since in listening back in 2019, and for the past two years , has held a top secret security clearance. now according to the unsealed affidavit, he began violating the terms of that security clearance back in december, starting to post classified information as just paragraphs of text. then in january, he started posting photos of classified documents on the social media site discord , which is popular with video gamers. so these documents and we understand there were hundreds of them were online for months before they really came to light on april 6th. that is the day that the secretary of defense lloyd austin, got his first briefing. and that was just one week before to share a was arrested. at his parents' house just south of boston. so why did to share a have access with such a low rank in the military? well he worked for the
1:04 am
102nd intelligence operations wing out of massachusetts, and that produces intelligence for senior commanders around the world and to share his job was called a cyber defense operations. journeyman essentially, i t support for this highly classified network that he worked on and you can't be a normal it. guy. and service that network so you have to have a high level clearance. now federal agents are certainly looking into what to share access how he accessed it, whether he printed the documents out himself and how he got them out. and there will be much bigger questions now about who can access. what kind of intelligence going forward alex marquardt, cnn washington. and more details now on to share 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
1:05 am
defense materials will remain jailed at least until wednesday, when a detention hearing is set. protesters are rallying again outside the u. s. supreme court over abortion demonstrators gathered saturday in front of the court building in washington , d c to urge the justices to overturn recent lower court rulings on abortion medication. the court has temporarily put on hold a lower court ruling that restricts the availability of the drug mythic kristen, but that could change within days. the case is about more than just abortion, it could open the floodgates for critics to challenge fda approval of any drug so the stakes here are extraordinarily high and experts say just because the supreme court put a temporary hold on restrictions doesn't indicate how the justices will ultimately rule as jeremy diamond reports from the white house president biden had a blunt description of the lower court ruling that started all this outrageous. well the future of a commonly used abortion drug continues to hang in the balance. but for now
1:06 am
, at least, that abortion drug mifepristone remains available and on the market. that's after justice samuel alito on friday, he extended a freeze on a lower court's ruling that would have restricted access to the drug that will be until late on wednesday, just to give the justices more time to consider an emergency appeal filed by the justice department that justice department appeal is looking to try and extend a freeze on that ruling, while the appeals process plays out a case that could, of course, go all the way to the supreme court. president biden returning from his trip to ireland on saturday, he spoke about that original ruling and why, he says it's outrageous. i think it's outrageous. what course, has done relatively including that. they're going to overrule the fda. whether i think it's a man. and we'll see what happens. and the white house press secretary also put out a statement saying that the stakes of this fight could not
1:07 am
be higher, she says, quote the president and his administration continue to stand by fda is evidence based approval of medford, kristen and we will continue to support the fda is independent expert authority to review approved and regulate a wide range of prescription drugs. and now this is a case. that, of course, hinges on that all important issue of abortion access, but it also brings into question the broader independence of the fda approval process for drugs, and that's why amicus brief briefs known as friends of the court briefs have been flooding into the supreme court since justice alito extended that frees they've been coming from democratic led states and democratic members of congress but also crucially from pharmaceutical companies and medical organizations. all looking to get the supreme court to approve a broader stay of this ruling, and ultimately, many of those groups would also like to see that original ruling. overturned jeremy diamond, cnn, the white house. meanwhile colorado's governor
1:08 am
signed a trio of bills that further protect the rights to abortion and gender affirming services. one of the bills that's colorado up to be a haven for people from states with more restrictive laws who are seeking access to abortion and transgender treatment. it comes as reaction is setting into the new law that florida governor ron desantis signed this week. it's one of the most restrictive in the country. legislation bans almost all abortion after six weeks. many lawmakers are alarmed by the move. listen to this. not only is this going to force individuals into birth, but you're going to have to leave the state of florida to access care. and right now, our closest state is north carolina. but finding an appointment in north carolina has also been a struggle, as so many other states have banned abortion are doing the same. and so we're leveraging our abortion funds. we're doing what we can to communicate to patients. what this means. to sudan now where heavy fighting is raging for a second day between the army and paramilitary force, the central committee of sudan doctor says
1:09 am
at least 56 people have been killed since the clashes erupted on saturday in the capital khartoum. explosions were heard throughout the night, and witnesses say fighting intensifying after sunday morning prayers. both sides are claiming control over strategic sites from military basis to the national television headquarters , but cnn can't confirm those claims. the army says it deployed warplanes to search for paramilitary fighters, accusing them of starting the conflict. cnn's larry medulla joins us now with more solari a fast moving story. what is the latest latest is that number of the 56th dad, which is a tragic situation that would likely that those casualty numbers will increase because there's fighting appears to be continuing well into day two of this conflict, this power struggle between the two generals who run sudan and we're also battling an information warfare here because the military says one thing, the rsf the rapid support forces say another thing, and we can't tell who's telling the truth. who's lying? what we do know for sure,
1:10 am
because we've been speaking to people in sudan. even while we're on the phone with them. we can hear gunfire and shelling and artillery. i want to show you to france and this right now. one is a video posted by the rapid support forces and their supporters when they are appearing to target aircraft, because even though the rapid support forces have previously been armed and trained by russia, they are not at the same level in terms of air power compared to the military, and the military, as you mentioned is deploying some aircraft in the sky right now, just to make sure that they have this upper hand and the rsf appears to be targeting those aircraft. the second is this battlefront with the state television and radio authority, where initially the rapid support forces claim to have taken control of it, but overnight we saw the military posting this video claiming to be its own soldiers celebrating taking over that state television and radio broadcast facilities, which is an important front in this battle, because whoever has control of that can talk to the nation. and so we have our awareness situation where this is just
1:11 am
escalating instead of deescalating, 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, 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. invited jets launched by the army, led by general abdel fattah albarran, over the sudanese capital with fighting reported in key sites like the presidential powers 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
1:12 am
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 hammadi heads the rsf, which analysts say is 100,000 strong. and grew out of the country's bloody conflict in darfur. monty 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 that should take and who would ultimately have more power. both albert hahn and humidity 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
1:13 am
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 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. hmm this breakdown between the rapid support forces. that's the paramilitary group and the sudanese army was always going to happen. but this timing is important. this is happening during the last 10 days of ramadan. this is supposed to be the holiest time in the muslim calendar, a time of family and prayer and reflection. and yet it seems that the two men at the center of this general committee and borhan will not even see eye
1:14 am
to eye. they've taken very hardline positions, even though the entire international community regional players are all asking them to have a ceasefire and go back to the negotiating table. we're hearing fighting words from both sides. kim tragic. alright thanks so much larry model in nairobi. the flames are out at a plastic resin plant in brunswick, georgia. the fire, which started yesterday morning triggered a shelter in place order in the south georgia city. but it's since been lifted. all evacuation orders have also been lifted. although the city has set up a shelter for residents who fled their homes. it's not clear what caused the fire. there are no reports of injuries . meanwhile in indiana, fire crews have contained nearly all of the fire at a plastics recycling plant. the fire chief says 99% of the blaze has now been extinguished, but his team is playing to remain on site throughout the weekend to assess the situation. here he is. you still have a few hot spots here and there right now, there is no plume there is no um product

1:20 am
slovyansk. at least 11 people were killed, including a two year old boy in russian strikes on residential buildings friday. authorities say at least 22 people were injured, and they're still searching for more who may be trapped under the rubble. ukraine's president, zelensky says he spoke at length with emmanuel macron on saturday about the french president's recent visit to trainer kolinsky says he thanked macron for his clear support of principles that unite the entire antiwar coalition. meanwhile china's defense minister is expected in moscow sunday for talks with his russian counterpart about global and regional security. russia and china have been strengthening their economic, political and military partnership since russian president vladimir putin invaded ukraine last year. i want to get more details from cnn's claire sebastian joining us live from london so clear let's go through both of those diplomatic forays . first, china and russia take us through the importance of that visit. very important came coming just a few weeks after president xi jinping was in
1:21 am
moscow in that very closely watched meeting this likely to be a follow up to that. it's also according to the russian defense minister. the chinese defense ministers first foreign trip since he was named to that role just over a month ago, so it does underscore the importance of that relationship both to china and russia as they tried to counter us influence and provide a counterpoint to the usaid alliance on ukraine. this will be closely watched from the point of view of defense. this is of course, the defense minister coming to moscow. the u. s. has had concerns in recent months that china might be preparing to provide military aid to russia for its war in ukraine, even as efforts to get china to help provide a solution to ukraine and convince russia to step back. continue globally. russia is also conducting at the same time snap drills of its pacific fleet just this morning video magic from the defense ministry of nuclear capable bombers carrying out patrols and air
1:22 am
support as part of those drills , so this will be increasingly scrutinized this trip, particularly as china's relations with the us continued to deteriorate. kim and then claire, separate but perhaps related in a way. zelinsky speaking to macron again, china top of mind in there. yeah this comes after macron's much criticized trip to china, where he made comments afterwards. talking about the importance of europe's strategic autonomy on taiwan and how he how europeans must not just become followers of the u. s agenda that, of course, raising some pretty significant fears of undermining nato unity. just the disappointment, of course. it is needed most. he uh, spoke to as you say president zelensky on saturday. clearly zaleski in his comments after that called choosing his words pretty carefully saying that they as you say they was thankful for the clear support of those principles that unite our entire
1:23 am
antiwar coalition and wasted little time getting to the topic of nato as well, saying they discussed preparations for the upcoming nato summit in vilnius , and that he believed effective security guarantees for ukraine and, in fact for the rules based international order we needed even before ukraine joined the alliance, i think on the french side some effort to reassure ukraine that france is committed to continuing to support it. alright thanks so much. claire sebastian in london. i want to take you to part of the war that's playing out behind the front lines. at the forefront are ukrainian activists who lead a nonviolent resistance in the areas occupied by russia as they told cnn's ben wedeman and he pushed back against moscow is risky. uh meeting it. yeah. braving gunfire a year ago, residents of the city of her son came out to protest to the russian occupation. it was there that a nonviolent resistance movement began to ukrainian for
1:24 am
yellow ribbon. the yellow ribbons sprayed on walls tied to railings has spread with the movement throughout the areas under russian control, with a particularly large and growing number of activists in crimea. we spoke with some of the movements activists who requested we conceal their identities due to security concerns. every day 30 or 40 new people are joining, says tara's not his real name. these acts are small and symbolic, but under occupation, any act of defiance comes with a huge risk sport. tara's all this resistance is very difficult because the price of putting up one poster could be the loss of your freedom. or your life is richer. katia not her real name knows those risks. twice russian police searched her home in the kherson region. invaders she
1:25 am
says expected to be met with flowers. november russian forces retreated from much of the kherson region. according to katya, women make up the majority of yellow ribbon members. women have the power to fight, she said. they want to contribute to the victory carta small and symbolic, though these acts, maybe someone's attention . in a recent televised meeting, russian president vladimir putin ordered officials to crack down on resistance, violent and nonviolent in the occupied territories. you need to act in a strong and efficient manner, said putin. control over this situation must be reliably ensured. yvonne also not his real name is the operations tech brains from occupied territory. he set up a chat but which allows yellow ribbon members to stay in touch and share material. russian operatives
1:26 am
tried to infiltrate yellow ribbon via the chat, but their lack of subtlety is often a dead giveaway from tokyo. with russians. they're really just hello. let's meet even shows us what one real activist has posted sent us conformation about his work. for example, he paint glory to ukraine glory to the armed forces on one of the building in luhansk. simple acts of defiance by a nebulous network of anonymous activists are driving home a blunt message to the russian occupiers. you're not welcome here. ben wedeman, cnn, eastern ukraine. japanese prime minister fumio kishida has denounced the attack that took place on saturday as he was speaking at a campaign event. the prime minister told reporters on sunday that violence during elections can never be tolerated, he said japan must strive to provide maximum security during the g

1:32 am
family attorney, michael harper , who says that thompson was in jail in custody for just three months before his death, held there in custody on misdemeanor assault charges. they are blaming the family's blaming and sanitary conditions at the jail and also complications from insect bites for thompson's death. now they are demanding three things at large, and those things are for a criminal investigation to be placed and done into thompson's death, also for the current jail fulton county jail atlanta is in fulton county for that jail to be closed and for a new one to be built in its place here what the family had to say. it's an inexcusable death. it is an outrage, and we call them all the citizens of 14 county to demand better and to demand a new jail. it was heartbreaking because nobody should be seen like that. nobody should see that. but the first thing that entered my mind was emmett till i thought about emmett to comparing those photos. it was
1:33 am
heartbreaking without making any explicit statements about mr thompson's health. it is fair to say that this is one of many cases that illustrate the desperate need for expanded and better mental health services. this is precisely why sheriff labadie continues to call building for building a new fulton county jail and criminal justice complex. now it is also important to note that we did review documents from the fulton county medical examiner's office. that listed thompson's cause and manner of death as undetermined. isabelle rose, olas, cnn atlanta. authorities in new mexico released new footage showing police shooting an innocent man dead after responding to the wrong address . the body cam video shows the officers knocking on the wrong door during a domestic violence call. they then opened fire when the man who lived at the home answered carrying a handgun now we want to warn you. what you're about to see is disturbing. hey heads up. shots fired shots
1:34 am
fired. so here is how the police chief is describing the incident. when you show the slowdown version you see him opening the door? um with his left hand and his right hand is the gun and as he pushes the door open, then he comes together and both hands appeared to grip the weapon and they're pointed at one of the officers. the police chief has called the incident unbelievably tragic. all three officers were placed on paid administrative leave. the shooting is currently being investigated by the new mexico state police. fox news is apologizing to the judge overseeing the defamation case against it, saying fox never meant to mislead about rupert murdoch's role at the network walks repeatedly denied that murdoch has an official role until last week when it admitted that actually he is an executive officer, in a letter of fox attorney said the network never intended to mislead the court quote. we should have provided to the court and complete and
1:35 am
prompt response to the courts. questions concerning the identities of all of fox news is officers. we apologize and never intended to avoid responding to a question from the court now, the admission that murdoch is a fox officer made the judge so livid. he's launched an independent investigation and also angered dominion voting systems, which makes voting machines. dominion says it might have requested more documents about murdoch and preparing its case. the company is suing fox for $1.6 billion for falsely claiming its software flipped votes in the 2020 election away from donald trump. opening statements in the trial are expected monday. the israelis are making clear they haven't forgotten about the government's proposed overhaul of the country's judiciary. cnn somerville aziz has details. this is the straight weeks of demonstrations against prime minister netanyahu's proposed judicial overhaul, and people are out here to make their voices loud. just listen to the
1:36 am
anger from this crowd. this proposal, if it went ahead would give the government the power over the appointment of judges that would give parliament power to override supreme court positions. and for these protesters, that means a threat to democracy. that means checks and balances are being eroded. that means prime minister netanyahu gets greater. power and control. it is extraordinary to see this crowd at a time of heightened tensions at a time of external security threats, but still they continue coming out against prime minister named yahoo and his government. that proposal right now is delayed but expected to be back on the table any day, and they these protesters want to keep the pressure on. some of these cnn television. france's prime minister is vowing more reforms in the coming months, just hours after president emmanuel macron signed the extremely unpopular pension reform plan into law to
1:37 am
push the age for drawing a pension to 64 has promised by union leaders and others. the anti pension reform demonstrations continued on saturday with police detaining some of the protesters. cnn's nada bashir has more now from paris. well despite the fierce backlash, this new legislation has received president emmanuel macron. we said no time in signing it into law. this comes after weeks of deliberation by france's constitutional council and weeks of protests by union members and other demonstrators against the proposal by the government to raise the retirement age from 62. to 64. now of course, the constitutional council has given the green light to the core of this new legislation. they're striking down. six minor measures included in the proposal. president emmanuel macron has our extended an invitation to union heads to meet with him at the early say next tuesday, though the head of one of france's largest unions has already rejected this invitation. and is calling for
1:38 am
more protests, particularly on may 1st, which is traditionally labor day here in france, the head of the cgt union calling for historic protests to take place against this new law, and of course, we have seen mass protests in paris and across france. in fact, over the last 12 weeks on thursday, 380,000 people taking to the streets across the country, some 42,000 here in paris alone, and of course, all these protests have been largely peaceful. there were pockets of violence. some scuffles reported between the police and protesters. police later having to use tear gas to disperse the crowds at the end of thursday's process, and in fact there were small demonstrations on friday in response to the constitutional council's decision. this has been a deeply controversial and deeply unpopular legislation. it has drawn fierce backlash not only from protesters but also from opposition leaders and president emmanuel macron himself has faced fierce
1:39 am
criticism over his decision to push this legislation through bypassing the lower house of parliament, where macron's party crucially doesn't hold an outright majority and foregoing a final vote. many of the protesters that we've spoken to over the last week telling us they believe this undermines the fundamental principles of democracy. see here in france. well this bill is going her head . it has had a significant impact on president macron's popularity, and according to the unions, they expect to see further protests over the coming weeks. now the bashir, cnn, paris all right, still to come much more on the deadly fighting in sudan will speak with an expert about the possible outcomes and the chances of a diplomatic solution. please stay with us. dry skin is sensitive skin, too, and it's s natural treated that way, with the vinio daily moisture formulated with nourishing prebiotic owed. it's

between the military and paramilitary force. witnesses are reporting heavy clashes in the country's main seaport more than 800, kilometers or 500 miles northeast of khartoum. the army says it has gained control of a key base in the area, while paramilitary fighters say they've been attacked by quote foreign air forces. the central committee of sudan. doctor says at least 56 people have been killed since the clashes erupted on saturday. i want to bring in alan boswell. he's the project director for the horn of africa at the international crisis group. thanks so much for being here with us, so obviously, tensions have been building recently, but was this armed clash inevitable? i hate to say it was inevitable, but it has been something that we and you know, sudanese and diplomats have been very concerned about for a number of years. these are essentially the two most powerful, um armed groupings within the country, um omar al
1:44 am
bashir ruled sudan for three decades. i mean, he was overthrown in 2019 in the sudanese revolution, but essentially near the end of his rule. he didn't really trust the army. so he allowed other security forces and the biggest being this rapid support forces this paramilitary paramilitary to grow quite large, partly so that no one could really challenge him for rule. um, and basically what we've seen since he was overthrown. what? that this a military rule by committee could never really get on the same page. they've been dangerous tensions both want to be the top dog. um and there is a lot of concerns leading into this that if fighting did occur in clashes started would essentially be an unwinnable civil war because it's not really clear who is the strongest and the inside the country. you describe them as a double headed monster. and now the two heads are are fighting each other. i mean, the animus between the two is so high with insults flying back and forth. i mean, do you do you see any path for diplomacy here or what? will
1:45 am
this just have to play out on the battlefield? well unfortunately, we haven't seen signs of the escalation. yet one positive thing is that for the most part, it seems most sudanese other parties and there are many other political and armed groups. they've so far opposed this and have called for the two sides to back down. um uh, the major sort of outside diplomatic players, the most prominent who have been did what's called the quad, which is the us, the uk, saudi arabia and the u a e days so far have been on the same page calling for a de escalation ceasefire. we've seen the same call from u. n. security council, the african union, etcetera, so a positive dynamic does far as at least external actors and pretty much all sudanese who are not these two sides want them to back down, however, like you said. i the two main actors themselves antagonistic have not yet shown any sign that detention and obviously been building for a
1:46 am
while, and they've been prepositioning and rating themselves or if this conflict happened if there's any silver lining, it's the hope that they realize this is an unwinnable war. once a a a more of the dust settles and the smoke clears, and that they'll listen to some calls for a reason to stop this from slipping further out of control. absolutely. let's hope let's hope so. i want to go back to what you're saying about the diplomatic efforts in the us has been the lead and many of those they spent so much money millions billions of dollars in terms of pressure they exert. so far they have sort of relied more on incentives. is it time to get more aggressive sanctions, for instance? well i don't think at the moment the actors would respond all that much one way or another to sanctions. this is this is basically a very existential fight right now, uh, for power in sudan and two controls sudan . um so i think i think the main focus needs to be to get especially some of the arab countries who have the most
1:47 am
influence over these military actors, especially saudi arabia, you a e and egypt and really get them, um, to really burn up the phone lines at very senior levels to try to get a de escalation and then and then from there trying to get hopefully back on track towards what was a political path back to civilian rule, but that, but that political path looks very uncertain right now, given given this outbreak, there's a real risk right now. very prolonged, very nasty, destabilizing civil war. unfortunately well, what about i mean, you listed a bunch of countries there. what about russia? the rsf and its leader are supported by russia. do they have any incentive to help bring about a peaceful solution here? we haven't seen really much diplomatic activity from russia. yet they haven't been main actors in this in the kind of national politics like you said they have been connected to general hamiti and this paramilitary force. um but they
1:48 am
haven't been main actors and sort of helping broker between between the military and the pill amid paramilitary leading up to this, so i think i think their country to watch to see if they weighed in. but we haven't seen any of that yet. all right, well, we'll have to leave it there, but really appreciate your analysis on this. alan boswell. thanks so much. thank you. all right. we want to introduce you to a new program that will make you see immigration issues in a whole new light. cnn's nick paton walsh travels with a group of migrants headed to the united states as they make the arduous trek on foot through the darien gap from colombia to panama. look football shirts, supporters each numbered, charging to carry bags, even children uphill. but it doesn't always work out. wilson is separated from his parents, porter raced off ahead.
