agent. call 1 807 50 4500 now good talking to chris wallace season starts friday night at 10 on cnn. welcome to all of you

watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kimber and hooper ahead on cnn newsroom united states joins a growing list of countries evacuating its diplomatic personnel from sudan , brother american citizens there. it's a different story for now. all this amid signs a cease fire isn't holding. we'll look at how the white house is preparing for the legal fight to keep them if a person on the market and the mississippi river is the major flood stage ahead, we'll tell you who's in the danger zone. live from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom. with kim bruun hoover. france is joining the u. s and other countries in evacuating diplomats from sudan as clashes erupt in the capital khartoum. francis announcement came hours after the us pull out its own embassy staff as well as their families from the country. washington says it intends to return to the embassy as soon as possible with the suspending

operations was quote the only really feasible option. us also says it doesn't foresee coordinating a government evacuation for private citizens . but the department of defense is looking at options to help them. cnn's oren lieberman has details. a successful mission carried out in the dark of night in sudan to evacuate the u. s embassy in khartoum, according to us officials, three helicopters took off from djibouti some 750 or 800, miles away from khartoum flew into the country landed, secured the embassy and then brought out all of the embassy staff and their family members, a group of just under 100 people, according to us officials, who briefed reporters on the operation and what happened around it during the operation and afterwards. they were then brought out to ethiopia again a distance of some 750 or 800 miles, so the operation itself took several hours and consisted of about 100 troops, all of them special operations forces with the

embassy staff successfully pulled out of the country. it is the temporary closure of the u. s embassy in khartoum. us officials said. they do hope there's an opportunity here a ceasefire that holds a resolution between the two warring parties there and an opportunity to reopen the embassy. but that is an enormous question. as the fighting there enters its second week the u. s was looking for a window of opportunity, a ceasefire that holds essentially to be able to evacuate the embassy itself, and the weekend brought that opportunity. with the little fitr holiday, the two warring parties committed to the ceasefire even though there were reports of violations of that cease fire in the end, president joe biden made the decision to go ahead with the operation to evacuate the embassy. now a large question. what about all the u. s nationals? the private citizens who remain in the country, and there are thousands of them, many of them dual citizens. sudanese american right now. they have no help at the embassy with the closure of the embassy, but us officials did say they are considering options. for land routes there

if that's the way out of the country for many of these citizens, defense officials said they are considering surveilling the land routes out and setting up perhaps a naval option. a maritime option at port sudan, and they're looking at creating deconfliction lines so that to assist in the evacuation of u. s citizens there who are trying to make their way out of the country again that under consideration a very difficult question, with the fighting continuing, but as we learned on saturday night the successful evacuation of the u. s embassy in khartoum under 100 people there, the diplomatic staff and their family members brought safely out of the country via helicopter. oren liebermann, cnn at the pentagon. earlier cnn military analyst colonel cedric leighton explained how a military mission would have been conducted. here he is the military forces engaged in this need to know what to the local commanders are doing on the ground to local commanders in this case of the rsf and the

sudanese army. they need to know what their attitudes are what they are going to be doing how much control they're exercising over their own people and whether or not they can trust them enough to in essence, safe passage from the embassy compound to the airport. to that point of embarkation. the people are around that are making this happen. the intelligence operatives, the operational personnel, all of those people need to work together and i e. you know, in essence, make a decision whether or not these people are trustworthy and whether or not they can actually count on their guarantee upset passage. so in this case, it worked, and they were able to you know, get this warring factions to allow them to extricate the americans from the embassy compound. and that, of course, is a very, very important part of this. i you know, maybe they made some promises for the future. maybe they did some other things, but it whatever they did, it clearly

worked very well. cnn's stephanie but sorry, joins us now with more so stephanie many other countries besides the us obviously extricating their diplomats, but now some are also trying to get their citizens out as well. so what more can you tell us about all these efforts? good morning, kim. so in the last hour, turkey had attempted to get its citizens out. but the this this fragile ceasefire which has not held you'll remember that 72 hour ceasefire period was agreed during the muslim period of seed to allow these evacuations happen and people to get supplies. and things like that, but turkey was forced to cancel and asking citizens not to assemble in the area where it was going to carry out those evacuations. so well, we're still getting more information on that. but turkey's evacuation not happening as planned. france we

had earlier had managed to, um, evacuate some of its diplomatic staff, but the fighting ongoing fighting, which eyewitnesses are telling cnn is very loud and happening in the capital needed presidential palace is hampering. these evacuation efforts came and it's very difficult for any sort of movement to go to go ahead, but citizens are taking matters into their own hands. we're hearing of sudanese citizens and other nationalities who are attempting to go by road to places to neighboring countries such as egypt. police called us one in southern egypt. about 1000 kilometers away from khartoum, the capital by road, so people are faced with this difficult situations, do they stay in, uh, inside, where supplies are dwindling food, no food, no power, no water, or do they take the risk and get on the roads and face also being hit by

artillery. kim absolutely tough decisions there, stephanie, but sorry. reporting for us. thank you so much for appreciate that. in the world food program program says it's bracing for an influx of refugees from sudan group estimates that between 30,000 people already arrived there fleeing the violence and the humanitarian aid has already been deployed. but there is a pressing need for water, which also is said to be in short supply in khartoum, one official adds. it's been harrowing to see so many children crossing from sudan into chat. the bind ministrations is looking to what's next after the supreme court moved to preserve access to a commonly used abortion drug . the ruling allows doctors to continue prescribing crestone in states that allow it, but it's ultimately unlikely to be the final word on regulation of the drug. kevin liptak has more from the white house. well, there was certainly sighs of relief here

at the white house when that decision from the supreme court came out, and it was really sort of the best outcome that the biden administration could have hoped for. but at the same time, what you hear from white house officials is that this is not the end of the road, and they are prepared for quite a lengthy legal fight to come. and you saw president biden in his statement , which he released really within minutes of this decision being released, acknowledge that this is not the end of the road, and he said, in part as well. result of the supreme court stay , kristen remains available and approved for safe and effective use while we continue this fight in the courts continue to stand by fda as evidence based approval of mifepristone and my administration will continue to defend fda as independent expert authority to review approved and regulate a wide range of prescription drugs. so you hear him in their acknowledged that this is not the last say on this leading up to this decision. white house officials had been involved in right and intensive effort to develop contingency

options in case the restrictions on this drug remained in place. those took place in the white house counsel's office at the department of justice among the president's senior advisers, and those will continue as this continues to make its way through the courts. those options will remain on the table , but at the same time, i think white house officials have been very candid that the president's authority here is fairly limited and that if americans want to see the abortion protections that were included in row vs wade that were stripped away by the supreme court last year if they want to see those restored and then they will have to elect lawmakers to congress who will actually vote on that and make it war. the president acknowledged that in his statement saying, that the american people must continue to use their their vote as their voice. and so this will continue to be a very salient political issue. as the president gears up for reelection, potentially announcing as early as next week , kevin liptak, cnn, the white house well. that ruling was on

the minds of at least some of the declared and potential republican candidates at a gathering in iowa saturday, the faith and freedom coalition spring kickoff as a way to court evangelical voters among those attending former vice president mike pence, who said he wants to bend medication abortion, serious i think that chemical abortions that mail order abortions at the biden administration is now allowed. should be banned, and i would support that view. but i also hope the supreme court will make the fda do its job job did not do 20 years ago. and actually seriously examined. this medicine. and pence's former boss, donald trump addressed the gathering remotely. he touted the hundreds of anti abortion rights federal judges confirmed during his administration, not to mention three supreme court justices. nikki haley, who's declared her candidacy, and ron desantis, who hasn't weren't there. as water levels continue

to rise on the mississippi river officials in the riverside city of mcgregor, iowa, or urging residents to reduce water consumption until floodwaters recede. heavy rain and rapid snow melt across the upper midwest has caused nine river gauges to hit major flood stage . the river is expected to rise almost three ft above that level by next week. authorities across the region say they're preparing for high water. mcgregor say crews have put flood walls in place, plug manholes and activated all pumps. florida governor ron desantis plans to request a major disaster declaration for the floods that devastated southeast florida 10 days ago, he declared a state of emergency in broward county by executive order on april 13th if the white house approves the request that would provide federal assistance for public infrastructure and also funds for more than 1000 homes damaged by the flooding. dozens of residents of south florida condo unit have until tuesday to evacuate because the building isn't structurally safe

for bomb mood appears to have entered a critical phase with one ukrainian commander, acknowledging that in his words the line is not stable russian forces supported by intense airstrikes have made gains claiming to have seized three city blocks. months long battle has been the bloodiest since the start of the full scale russian invasion in february. 2022 ukrainians nonetheless insisted they are inflicting punishing losses on russian forces as ukraine continues to prepare for its much anticipated spring offensive, bolstered by hardware provided by its backers. us secretary of defense lloyd austin said friday that the ukraine defense contact group composed of 54 countries, including the 31 nato member countries, has in recent months provided ukraine with more than

230 tanks and in excess of 1550 armed vehicles. the ukrainians continue to press for more advanced warplanes, but the offensive doesn't depend on weapons alone. the weather is also key and recent heavy rains in eastern ukraine have turned potential battlefields into seas of mud. ben wedeman, cnn kiev. aquarian says its allies need to ramp up the delivery of military aid in a major way, keith has already received tens of billions of dollars worth of military hardware, including the u. s high mars missiles that you see here. ukraine's deputy foreign minister says his country would need 10 times more to win the war this year, is also urging allies to set aside 1% of their gdp towards helping ukraine. barbie nadeau joins us from rome so barbie, more leopard tanks are on the way to ukraine. but as we just heard the refrain we keep hearing from

ukraine is they need more. that's right. and there are six leopard two tanks coming from spain in about 20 heavy military vehicles that should arrive in the next week or so, but they do want more and also president zelensky said that he is urging countries to not go light on sanctions. a lot of a lot of these sanctions, of course, had expirations and he wants these countries that are also offering this military hardware to not go light on sanctions because sanctions will continue to hurt russia, kim yeah, absolutely. and so barbie, brazil's president made some comments about the conflict that raised some eyebrows to take us through what was said, and the reaction as well. you know, these comments were made in portugal during the state visit, where he was met with protesters, and he had earlier said that both sides were were absolutely at fault for the war. and he said that the united states was encouraging the war by continuing the support. and so he tweeted. it kind of walking back that a little bit saying that he did not ever equate

ukraine and russia as equal, but it's still stirring up quite a bit of controversy here in europe, kim alright, thanks so much barbie nadeau appreciate it. more than 3000. people in the russian city belgorod are returning home after a second bomb scare in a matter of days. state media says they were evacuated on saturday after the discovery of an unexploded bomb officials say it's now been removed. but there's no word on how it ended up there, but it was found in the same area that was rattled by this explosion thursday night. state media says it was caused by another bomb that was dropped by russian fighter jet during the mid air emergency. image that depicts the sheer brutality of the war in ukraine has won the world press photo of the year award. the photo was taken by the associated press in the city of mariupol last year, and it shows a pregnant woman being taken out of a bombed out maternity ward. ukrainian surgeon said irina kalina and her baby later died.

hours after the u. s also pulled out american diplomats from the region. witnesses say the embassy workers were evacuated in six helicopters early sunday morning. now all this comes as more fighting has erupted in the sudanese capital khartoum, despite a 72 hour ceasefire. earlier cnn spoke with justin lynch, our researcher and co author of the book sudan's unfinished democracy, about the chance of escalation here is. what will really make this conflict worse is if regional states particularly egypt, with support, which supports the sudanese armed forces, and the united arab m. brits would support the rapid support forces if they get involved, and it's significant scale that's going to turn this into something that will be just even more catastrophic. prosecutors in georgia have been investigating donald trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in that state, and now we're learning that trump operatives also considered using breached voting data to decertified. georgia's 2021 senate runoff. cnn zachary cohen

has details. text messages between two men working for trump's lawyers revealing for the first time that they considered using data from a breach of voting systems in coffee county, georgia to try to decertify the state senate runoff. we now know that trump allies not only tried to overturn the presidential election results in georgia, but also weighed plans to up in the senate runoff as well. at the center of those discussions was data. related to voting software breach and other election systems used in coffee county, a team of trump allies managed to get their hands on that data in january, 2021 after getting unauthorized access to the county's election office, one day after the u. s capitol riot on january 6th, and we now know how they plan on using the data and that trump himself may have been at least aware of the effort in december, 2020 trump's then attorney rudy giuliani outlined a similar plan during a meeting in the oval office that was attended by trump. and the coffee county breaches. part of the broader criminal investigation in georgia, looking at efforts to influence

or overturn the election results there, and a source telling cnn prosecutors have evidence that trump allies discussed plans for decertifying the senate runoff, in addition to efforts focused on a pending the presidential election results. prosecutors are considering a rico and conspiracy case that could result in multiple indictments in the text between trump operatives related to the coffee, county breach and new details about trump's knowledge of plans to access voting systems in georgia could factor into those potential charges. zach cohen, cnn washington. demonstrators took to the streets in bogota, colombia, on saturday to protest social and economic changes proposed by the president gustavo petro. among the proposals, reducing the work week from 48 hours to 42 hours, guaranteed monthly income for the poor and the centralist healthcare payment system. critics say the changes will hurt job creation, capital markets and public finances. the reforms are currently under review by colombia's congress. but it is obtained exclusively

by cnn brasil is raising new and disturbing questions about the police response. the riot in brazil's capital on january 8th even though its probe olson, our demonstrators smashed their way through the presidential palace . the police were either retreat or nowhere to be found. cnn's is a suarez has more. it was the darkest of days in brazilian democratic history. supporters of former president j able scenario taking the capital brasilia by storm breaking into the presidential palace, another government buildings no new cctv footage exclusively obtained by cnn affiliate cnn brasil of what transpired inside the presidential palace appears to bolster the claims of people who have accused the police of failing to act chief among them current president lula da silva . event people colluding, it's

important to say there were a lot of conniving people from the military police and there are a lot of conniving people from the armed forces. the hours of cctv footage showed police forces seemingly retreating as protesters marched on the palace. and leaving their post as rioters entered the building once inside, the ransacking begins priceless antiquities tables. phones almost nothing is left untouched. at the time. former policeman cathy yang told me some of the criticism wasn't warranted. policy eyes some policemen ended up not acting because they didn't think there was a risk of invasion. i don't think it was incompetence, the institutional security office or g s i, which handles security for the presidential palaces, has also defended its officers. saying they evacuated some areas concentrated demonstrators on the second floor and waited for

reinforcements to arrest him. despite those assertions, the bureau acknowledging its offices are being investigated and those proven to have collaborated with rioters will be held responsible. but heads have started rolling general gonsalves dish. lula's government minister in charge of security, has resigned. cctv footage shows in walking with some of the rioters just feet away from the presidential office. he says he was trying to lead them away so they could be arrested. but critics say his demeanor was complacent and complicit. back in brazil after three months in self imposed exile in the united states scenario is enjoying some respite video league seen as a momentary win as he continues to dodge blame for the january riots. yet doubt remains the new footage raising more questions than the answers it provides. in

israel. tens of thousands turned out protests for 1/16 consecutive week against the government's plans to overhaul the judicial system. carrying flags and banners. they vented their opposition to the plan, which they see as an attack on democracy. weekly protests have continued across israel despite prime minister benjamin netanyahu announcing a pause on the reforms last month. saturday's demonstrations come just before israel marks it's memorial day and independence day this week. as thousands worldwide mark earth day we'll see how one major u. s. city is trying to combat climate change. i'll speak with its chief heat officer coming up, stay with us. clogged ears wax on yoyour buds. hard to hear. maybe it's time you clean out your ear, but don't push wash gentle triple spray that flushes earwax away. awesome massage in my ear look,

yeah you won't regret it download rocket money to pocket more money. i'm fed wiedemann in eastern ukraine. this is cnn. hundreds of climate change. activists gathered outside britain's parliament building in london to mark earth day on saturday and to urge government action on global warming so called extinction rebellion

group known for blocking roads, smashing windows and other disruptive tactics, change things up a bit and signed up thousands of people from family friendly rallies and marches instead. it's been great. it's been, you know, that's one of the best things about coming to his events. and a positive outlook on trade often is like doom mongering. that's not a good drive positive change, which is one of the key things about these events. climate change. activists have warned the average global temperatures could hit all time highs this year or in 2024, the world meteorological organization just released its annual state of the global climate report, and not surprisingly, report found that climate change continue to increase last year. have a look here. the report showed that drought, floods and heatwaves or affecting large parts of the world, and the costs arising global mean temperatures for the past eight years have been the highest on record the level and ocean heat are now record levels. it showed that antarctic

sea ice has fallen to its lowest level ever and the melting of some european glaciers also broke records. so what does this mean for individual cities trying to slow climate change? i'm joined now by martha segura , chief heat officer for the city of los angeles and director of climate emergency mobilization. thanks so much for being here with us so since the first earth day in 1970, according to a recent survey, all 50 states and at least 241 u. s cities have warmed los angeles is among them. so how how much is that city been warming? um significantly. unfortunately even though we've gotten our air pollution under control, it's the collective greenhouse gas emissions. um that impact cities like los angeles, and we also have what's called the urban heat island every city does with concrete

buildings and pavement exacerbates the heat and the climate change. and those cities so it warms us that quite a much much faster than you would have in a forest or a rural area, so we definitely have our challenges cut up for us in the city of los angeles, and hence your position right? the job of a heat officer. it's a relatively new one. your position was created. you know about a year year and a half ago because heat waves are becoming more common. they're lasting longer. so you're dealing with the acute effects of this. i mean, in this country, i know it's killed, you know, kills more people every year than any other weather related phenomenon , but only a handful of cities in this country have these heat officers is still a rela, relatively new area of focus, right? it is, um i think there are now 10 worldwide, but i'm the still the only one in the west coast and he is los angeles

primary climate hazard, and it's really an acceptable to have these preventable deaths and preventable hospitalizations that occur mostly in the not just the hottest areas of l a, but the areas with the greatest pollution burden. historically disinvested areas of l a where we have less shade equity. let's treat canopy let's open space. um and actually also less air conditioning or thermal comfort in the homes of those very same communities. so we have this. you know this disparity so since we're celebrating earth day this weekend, i just want to focus not just on the problem, but on the solutions. now states have already reduced emissions by an average of 19% over last 15 years, but that's not fast enough to meet the national targets. so when you look at what works in terms of local solutions, share some examples of what people are doing at a local level that that's making a

difference. yeah i don't local level we've been working on increasing green and open spaces for over a decade down, in fact, that was also a staffer at the los angeles neighborhood. lan tristan. we first opened with the very bold vision of creating more equitable open space. um and also ensuring that when we do that, we have more permeable land and soil. to act as aquifers for our storm water, so that's one really interesting social. we've also recently conducted several, um tree canopy studies and shade equity studies to see where we are lacking and tree canopy and shade structures so that we can be guided by the strategic a mapping of where we must invest most first and foremost to provide that level of shade that other communities have. and they thrive from right because shade isn't only me. um there to ensure we have thermal comfort while we're walking about, but it also, um reduces pollution,

and if it's over your home, it reduces your utility bill. yeah i mean, these these big, you know, federal initiatives, and even the municipal ones are hugely important in terms of getting people behind these initiatives. a recent meta study looked at what actually fuels, you know, fuels people to follow environmental practices, and it turns out finance. shil incentives and social pressure worked better changing behavior than than education. so obviously awareness, you know, what we're talking about, is obviously very important. but these other things people self interest, especially when it comes to the bottom line. that's the big driver. so how do you harness people to get more people to act? that's right. well in los angeles, were fortunate to have what's called the environmental justice community. so there's a coalition of environmental justice organizations that have been advocating and invested in for a few decades now, and that has catalyzed. i think these policies that we're talking

about. but in addition to that we have organization called lacey, and it's an incubator for environmental entrepreneurship and green jobs. and the city of los angeles has been investing in this nonprofit organization to be the bridge between economic investments for the green transition, but also to create a more equitable transition for these low income communities to be a part of the overall green transition. talk about climate change. the challenge can seem overwhelming , but it's great to hear about some solutions that are making a difference. really appreciate your time. marta segarra, thank you so much. thank you very much. i really appreciate yours. in california around 250,000 gallons of sewage spilled into the los angeles river, prompting closure of seven miles of public beaches. county officials say this bill was caused by a malfunction in equipment used by sanitation maintenance crews are urging residents to stay away. disgusting nasty. can't enjoy the water. you can't jump in.
