in the united states, canada and all around the world. i'm kimber and uber ahead on cnn newsroom mass evacuations in sudan, us diplomats and their families taken out of khartoum. as violence intensifies. we'll have a live report on the very latest plus school violence. one state is actually seen a sharp decline in reported incidents. look at what's working and whether it could prevent school shootings and cnn sports. coy wire joins me live to break down the latest blockbuster clashes in the nba playoffs. from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom with kim bruun hoover. france has begun evacuating its diplomatic staff and other european officials from sudan as more fighting has erupted between rival forces in the capital, khartoum. it comes hours after the u. s. also pulled out american diplomats from the country and announced that its embassy in khartoum has been temporarily closed. us president joe biden spoke about the situation in the region,

saying quote this tragic violence in sudan has already cost the lives of hundreds of innocent civilians. it's unconscionable and it must stop the blood. different parties must implement immediate and unconditional ceasefire allow unhindered humanitarian access and respect the will of the people of sudan. cnn's oren lieberman has the 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 naval option a maritime option at ports 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 that diplomatic staff in their family members brought safely out of the country via helicopter. oren liebermann, cnn at the pentagon. and here is cnn military analyst colonel cedric leighton. weighing in on the lessons learned from the u. s experience in afghanistan, trying to get embassy personnel out amid the fall of kabul areas. i think one of the key

things is the timing of this. you know in a i think leyland one of these situations, you know, with the afghan situation . in particular, there was a big delay before people were actually evacuated. we were even the evacuation started. this is something that was done by, you know? yes it was a reaction to what was going on on the ground, but it was more of a proactive approach to what was happening, as opposed to a reactive approach. which and that that was something that i think it was partly due to lessons learned from afghanistan, and i think also what the americans wanted to do was avoid the chaos that we saw in kabul back in 2021. they wanted to avoid that as much as possible. extricate the americans and then make sure that they were brought to safety before i you know whatever happens next in the sudanese conflict takes place. and stephanie was sorry. joins us now, with more so 71st more on

the us evacuation. take us through what happened? yes so i eyewitnesses are telling cnn came that six u. s helicopters landed in the capital khartoum in inside the us embassy at about one a.m. this morning and causing a lot of heavy dust in the area, and about an hour later, those helicopters took off and successfully evacuated all the diplomats, personnel in their and their families now. other saudi arabia was the first country to start this. evacuation process, and they were able to do that over the weekend, and other countries have attempted to evacuate the citizens this morning. ah, turkey tried to get their citizens to assemble in a specific area, but however, they were hampered evacuation efforts were hampered by the ceasefire

because this is why which has not held its a very fragile ceasefire. that both parties had agreed to a 72 hour period during the muslim period of eat but loud fighting and heavy artillery is being heard in sudan currently, so tuckey was unable to carry out that evacuation attempt. now hundreds of thousands of citizens are stranded, and one nigerian student has recorded a desperate plea. on his mobile phone. take a listen to what he had to say. everyone has been stranded. there is no hope of survival. everyone is just running held a skater, you know? looking for shelter. to survive. and this this people fighting. it's like they don't value human lives. they don't care about anyone.

yes they don't care about anyone . remember came. this is supposed to be a happy period after the fasting in sudan. many people have planned for this festivities. they brought new clothes to celebrate with their families. now they faced it. it's stuck in a war situation that seems unending, and they're stuck in homes with no power. no lights, no water, and some are actually taking desperate measures to get on the roads themselves and try to get to neighboring countries safely. we're hearing of many sudanese facing the dangerous modes journey of about 1000, kilometers southern city of egypt, as juan and some people are reporting being able to get there, safely and information circular circulating around social media of how they've been able to do that we're hearing reports of one bus that carries

50 people. uh been around seven million in local currency and people are prepared to play these inflated prices. sexual we're here and it's gone up to $40 a gallon, which shows sign of some price gouging, but people are desperate enough to take these chances and pay whatever it takes to get out. of the country. kim situation for so many people. stephanie was sorry. thanks so much. abortion rights supporters in the us are nervously anticipating what comes next after the supreme court moved to preserve access to commonly used abortion drug. the ruling allows doctors to continue prescribing me for pistone in states that allow it, so it's not likely to be the final word on regulation of the drug. so how did things reached the point where abortion access is being marginalized by the week? isabelle rosales has the timeline. by 2022 dobbs cjackson

. the supreme court reverses the constitutional right to an abortion upheld for nearly a half century across the nation. intense backlash and scrutiny follows. abortion bans are illegitimate, forced motherhood is illegitimate justice samuel alito, writing for the court majority, called the original 1973 roe v. wade ruling egregiously wrong from the dobbs decision or felt across the country as so called trigger laws take effect in about a dozen states banning or severely limiting abortion in states like mississippi, texas and oklahoma republican controlled state legislatures race to outlaw the procedure. back back. legal fights commence over abortion access some state supreme courts like in south carolina, step in and block abortion bans. in other states, the highest courts ruled the band's comply with their state constitutions.

meanwhile others like south dakota widen the scope passing a law prohibiting the use of telemedicine to administer medication abortion. midterm elections. we're going to have to make it a federal right. voters in many states reject the most extreme versions of abortion bans, and california, michigan and vermont voters enshrined the right to abortion in their state constitutions. state legislatures return to session some states move forward on more restrictive measures just this month in a first of its kind law, idaho criminalizes out of state abortions for minors without parental consent , calling it abortion trafficking. and florida governor ron desantis last week signed into law ban against most abortions after six weeks. opponents argue that's before many women know they're pregnant nearly a year since overturning roe v. wade, another major decision on abortion access from the nation's highest court, the conservative majority court protecting access to a widely

use abortion, drug press stone by freezing lower court rulings that place restrictions on medication abortion. the order means that the u. s. food and drug administration's approval of the drug will remain in place while appeals play out potentially for months to come. and this abortion medication cases with the fifth circuit court of appeals, and they're fast tracking this case. they're sent to get those first briefs by next week and then by mid may start to listen to those oral arguments, it will likely take weeks to months for a decision to come, and we're also expecting that case to end up right back with the supreme court. isabelle rose allah's cnn atlanta. so as we heard them if stone case goes before the fifth circuit court for an appeal on may 17th we talked about cnn political our sung min kim about the significance of that court and where things could go from here. we know that the fifth circuit is actually the most conservative appeals court in

the united states. there is a reason why this abortion case it originated in texas set to go to the circuit court. so i mean, we could see this as a very long legal battle that could make itself back up to the supreme court because you recall when we saw this initial ruling from judge kaczmarek in that federal district court in texas, we actually got a near simultaneous ruling from a federal well judge in washington state that that's allowed chris stone to be continued to be sold, um and kind of push back these attempts to limit the support shin pil. so when you have two conflicting rulings like that, oftentimes they do end up back to the supreme court on its merits, so i think we're in for a very long legal battle ahead. it just doesn't stop with the brief stay at the supreme court yesterday. this is going to be something that we're gonna be watching for months to come. ruling was on the minds of at least some of the declared and potential republican candidates of the gathering in iowa saturday, the

faith and freedom coalition spring kick off his way to court evangelical voters. among those attending was former vice president mike pence, who said he wants to ban medication abortions 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. 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. pence's former boss, donald trump addressed the gathering remotely each out of the hundreds of anti abortion rights federal judges confirmed during his administration, not to mention three supreme court justices nikki haley, who has declared her candidacy and ron desantis, who hasn't weren't there. russian troops reportedly gained some ground on one battlefield in ukraine. still ahead, we'll get the latest on the fight for mahmoud, plus workers in argentina struggling

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. this 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 an 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 more than 3000. people in the russian city of 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 say it was caused by another bomb that was dropped by a russian fighter jet during a mid air emergency. and israel. tens of thousands of people turned out to protest for 1/16 consecutive week against the government's plan to overhaul the judicial

system. carrying flags and banners. they vented their opposition to the plan, which they see as an attack on democracy. the weekly protests 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. demonstrators took to the streets in bogota, colombia, on saturday to protest social and economic changes proposed by president gustavo petro among the proposals, reducing the work week from 48 hours to 42 hours, a guaranteed monthly income for the poor and a centralized healthcare payment system couldn't see the changes will hurt job creation, capital markets and public finances. the reforms are currently under review by colombia's congress. people in argentina are coping with a deepening economic crisis and one of the highest inflation rates in the world. on friday, they learned that president alberto fernandez won't seek reelection, leaving the next leader to salvage argentina's

struggling economy. cnn's rafael ramos has more on the story. holding torches and banners. they marched down some of the most iconic streets of downtown buenos aires, the capital of argentina. march organized by worker unions, is the latest in a series of anti government protests. workers like sylvia sarabia said the government is not doing enough to alleviate galloping yearly inflation that reached 104% the second highest in latin america. after venezuela's 501% of those who have a formal job, get wages under the poverty line, she says. that's why these protests are so big. workers say the government of argentina is taking money from the working class to pay the international monetary fund president alberto fernandez admitted there are problems to be solved, but pointed to 30 months of job

growth in the country last month. argentina reward they $44 billion loan with the imf. obtaining nearly 10 billion in fresh cash in exchange for measures to strengthen public finances and start reducing persistently high inflation. president fernandez is calling for unity asking his fellow argentines to please look towards the future. he says his finance minister is working on the issues and blamed some of the problems on the country's drought. but for many people in argentina, it's hard to have that kind of optimism when they don't even know if the next paycheck is going to allow them to make ends meet, for example, in my case, i have zero capacity to save any money. this worker says the inflation we're living today in argentina is terrible. it feels like never before, according to government figures . argentina's yearly inflation rate rose past 100% in february.

for the first time since 1991. the black market pays a weekend to 438 per u. s. dollar a drop of 4% according to an analysis by reuters. that's double the official rate of 218 per dollar . the government was already struggling to rein in rising prices. antonio iraqi president fernandez is chief advisor announced his resignation tuesday amid the financial turmoil. the failing state of the economy and inflation will have an impact beyond the pockets of regular people later this year, president fernandez announced friday. he will not seek re election, but whoever hopes to replace him at casa rosada, argentina's presidential palace, will have to convince voters in october that he or she has what it takes to tackle the enormous challenge of stabilizing the economy. rafael romo, cnn, a planner. alright still ahead more on the

pulled out diplomats, their families, a small number of professionals from other countries. as a result of the evacuations, washington has decided to temporarily closed its embassy in the capital, khartoum. now all this comes as more clashes are being reported despite a 72 hour ceasefire stands, paramilitary fighters have accused the armed forces of violating the truce and launching air strikes around the capital. defense department official says the u. s evacuated fewer than 100 people early sunday morning in what he called a fast and clean operation. cnn's kevin liptak has the details. we did hear from john kirby yesterday who said that if something like this were to happen if the us were to evacuate diplomatic personnel from cartoon, it would come at president biden's order so we can safely say that this was ordered by president biden and you have seen him take steps over the last several days to prepare for this eventuality, including prepositioning military assets resources

equipment in djibouti, the u. s has a large military base. is there, but you've also seen this effort in khartoum to consolidate the american personnel who are working there into the american diplomatic compound into the embassy that's been described to me as a fortress like structure. it has taken some time to get all of the personnel into that facility. the roads in khartoum are extremely unsafe. and so that was sort of a process that took place over the last several days. but we did hear from the state department earlier today that all american personnel where accounted for and we're in a safe location, we also did hear from an official with the national security council earlier today that said that they had made clear to both sides of this conflict, both of the warring factions that they are responsible for ensuring protection of civilians and noncombatants. so certainly everything was sort of building up to this moment. but we should be clear that the u. s says, has

said that those preparations were for american diplomatic personnel. people who worked for the american government. only this does not include private citizens. private american citizens who remain in khartoum and the u. s. has said that they has given ample warning to private citizens who may remain in sudan that it is not safe, but that it does not have the resources at the moment to facilitate a broad scale military evacuation of private citizens. is 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 officials say crews have put flood walls in place

four imprint dot com. come on out. i'm on it. four imprint for certain presents a max original heaven's gate tonight at 10 on cnn. a new study finds steady and steep decreases in california school violence over the last 18 years. the study found that during the two decades prior to the covid 19 pandemic, there was a reduction in serious forms of violence, including bullying and weapon related behaviors across california's middle and high school campuses. the report

documented a 56% reduction in physical fights a 70% reduction in reports of carrying a gun onto school grounds as 68% reduction in reports of other weapons at school. and the 59% reduction in being threatened by a weapon on school grounds. victimization reported by black and latino students, which includes instances of being bullied or assaulted, saw larger declines than victimization reported by white students. romney benvenisti is a professor emeritus at the hebrew university of jerusalem, and he also co authored this new study , and he joins me now live from modena, israel. thanks so much for being here with us. so given all the headlines about school violence, many people would probably be surprised to hear about this drop in violence did did the results of your studies? surprise you? well not really, uh what? i'm not surprised by the surprise of many people that actually always think that violence is on the rise, and i had my own experiences of presenting data and doing i

feeling nice job of presenting declines, and in the end, i would ask for show of hands. how many things that there was a rise and almost everybody thought there was a rise so there is a very strong sentiment in the public that things are getting worse all the time. yeah, definitely. i mean, some of the reductions that you reported were pretty drastic as i mentioned 70% fewer guns and other weapons, for instance, but you're relying on student surveys. so how reliable is the data? do you think well, i believe it is very reliable and i'll tell you why, uh, first we are doing this kind of studies in several countries around the world and i can show with you that soon we'll have a paper out showing that in israel. the reductions are quite similar. the point is that if you're doing something for so many years and you ask students that are always very different students because every year there are other students in

schools around the u. s. or california and you keep getting the same structure of the data and you keep getting data that is very similar. but the declines are really are very gradual. then you believe that we're talking about something very real. because if there were just making up things, uh, the numbers would have make sense over time. but again and again, it's always as a researcher. it's amazing and surprising. you open up the data, and it looks very similar patterns to previous years in other places, so they want to jump in because i want i really want to get it. what what is important here, which is what's happening. do we know what's behind this? well you know, we have a we have hypothesis is it's very difficult to know causality in this kind of studies because we don't have good control. but i think there was very strong. uh many strong reasons to believe

that we are doing something right. in school violence and across places that actually invested in it. and put it as a priority and work with it. we can see differences. i can tell you that that's something that i can see in schools that we are working with. you can see a school changing. almost overnight when the focuses on preventing school violence on having teachers pay attention to it, attend to it try to help students in trouble. so i do believe these are real trends that show the effects of efforts around that. so is this just california? do you think? are you seeing that trend in other states as well? this is a very good question, because we are, uh, you know, screening the literature, and some of the findings are confusing because of different instruments, different timescales and so on. and so i cannot tell you, you know globally. unfortunately we

don't have that. but i can tell you that i will work in israel and, uh, in chile has shown reductions not increases, so i do believe this is a real trend, at least in the places that we studied that are actually taking. seriously and put energy and efforts and resources into making a difference. so basically if you invest in reduction in counseling and prevention, things like that, you will see decreases tragically. one thing that has increased his school shootings. so are there lessons from from the violence reduction strategies that that you're talking about there that can be used to prevent those types of horrific incidents. that's a again a very good question. i'm not sure i'm not sure i believe we are talking about a different phenomena. did have some things in common, but many differences so i don't believe that just investing in attention, and, uh

, working with students and so on would have prevented as this horrific tragedies because they're so focused on very small number of, um students that it's very, very difficult to actually. um prevented, uh and i'm not. i'm not sure that the efforts made by having, uh, shooting drills and issues like that, or fortifying schools are not causing more damage than not helping. yeah that's certainly part of the debate. i'm wondering if one of the nuances here i mean bullying remained fairly fairly flat over over the years, especially recently. i'm wondering if there's something specific about that bullying and so on that that that is hard to erase that might be leading to some of these school shootings that can make it hard to reduce well, i think one of the issues and i'm not going to go into details is that the word bullying is very confusing, and everybody sees in that world

would some very different issues and definitely when you talk to different people in different countries, so the word bullying itself is not extremely helpful . it's more helpful to talk about different types of victimization, physical uh, relational, um, sexual and cyber bullying and cyber victimization . then you can actually identify specific ways of addressing, uh , different issues. so the world bullying from my perspective is not very helpful in understanding trends, and i think that if i may, it's very important to have the data. we are having this discussion because we are not talking about one case, and we're not talking about one survey we're talking about. an effort over time systematically studying this issue and asking students over the years and over the place is only by having this kind of system and we have that in israel. you can actually put

your finger and say this is increasing. this is decreasing or this is a group that doesn't change and we have to focus our energy on and this group is actually making a major strides. so without data. in organized and well, um, documented. we can't really help ourselves. continue moving ahead. yeah it's important to know you know that all these investments eventually do pay off. really appreciate your insights. professor remy benvenisti. thanks so much for being with us. thank you very much for having me alright, still ahead celebrations across los angeles as the lakers take a 21 lead in the first round of the nba playoffs. wire will be here with the highlights coming up. stay with us. we all need fiber for our d digestive healt, but less than 10% of us getting up each day. good thing. metamucil gummies are an easy way to get prebiotic plant based fiber with the same amount of fiber as two cups of broccoli
