♪ major disruption in ukraine this morning after russia fires a wave of missiles on targets across that country. the at least 22 people have been killed. dozens more are injured after several apartment buildings were hit. cnn's team has made it inside of one of the bombed out buildings. we will take you there live. incredible video out of florida. a huge tornado wiped out dozens of homes overnight, and now millions of people are bracing for more severe weather as two major storms are targeting that region. a big win for abortion rights in two republican-dominated states.
8:02 am
failing, and failing, because a handful of conservatives helped to stop them. that and more news is coming in for cnn news central. the death toll keeps rising this morning hours after a russian cruise missile hit an apartment building in southern ukraine. one woman who lives there documented the aftermath. we will share the video with you, but it is graphic, and it will be disturbing to watch. >> translator: i never thought that this would happen. a rocket hit our apartment. windows are blown out. children are sleeping here. it is good that we are alive and covered in blood. god, we don't have windows or
8:03 am
nothing. god, i was so afraid. >> this is the reality of the war. the attack is a part of a wave of strikes across cities in ukraine. at a tack killed a woman and her child sparking a rage of fire. nic robertson is joining us from inside of the building that has been struck. nic, can you give us a look at where you r because it is looking dire. >> sara, it is hard to describe the amount of destruction and rubble here. if you can pan over to the side here, you are seeing the daylight, and the other apartment buildings through there, and that is the rest of the building. that space should not be a space. we are right at the top above the ninth floor in the crawl space between these apartments, and they are literally pancaked
8:04 am
down and collapsed. you are looking at half an apartment building here, and that edge was not an edge. that is where, that was the ceilings to the apartments that have collapsed below. this is where the rescue recovery mission will switch in the coming hours once the firefighters get done going through the rubble on the first floor of the building. they will come up here, and they will use these ropes that they have laid out here. they'll be going over the edge on to the pancaked concrete that we were looking at down earlier from a ground level and from what we have understood from one witness here, she believes that the friend's two daughters are still there. the mother survive and the father is in hospital, but the two daughters, they don't know where they r. so when the recovery rescue effort gets up here, they can start to search for them.
8:05 am
but this attack, the number of people killed here, and the biggest single civilian loss since january in a single strike this year. the ukrainians say they shot down 21 of 23 missiles fired at the country last night, but this is the evidence of when one gets through. we have talked to the neighbors and they are terrified. they heard the whoosh of the missile coming n and the lady put her kids in the bath toom, and pillows over their head, and she prayed to god they would make it. of the 109 people listed living there in that mid of the collapsed building is.
8:06 am
those pictures are just horrible for everyday people trying to live their lives. >> it is horrifying and amazing to see nic in the middle of it, and it is horrifying where there is an apartment building where there is no strategic value. and this is again some of the aftermath there and 27 of the buildings were destroyed according to the minister of international affairs of ukraine. kyiv has not been targeted since early march as most of the fighting is persisting in eastern post ukraine. cedric, again, we are looking at the images of the destruction, and i wanted to remind people where these cities are in ukraine. you can see uman here, and
8:07 am
dnipro is and that is far from the fighting, and so what is russia getting here from the attack? >> well, it is so they can tell the ukrainians that no place in ukraine is safe, and that is what we are seeing here. this is war of terror against the civilian population. there no other way to describe it. it is quite frankly, a violation of many of the laws of war that other countries would not get away with. >> these are what patriot missiles are built to protect
8:08 am
against. are there other things that can protect against? >> the one that struck against usman, a tu-165 or tu-165 to launch the missile from an aerial missile. so the patriot is very well to detroy the miskl when come in and the right information to fight this and help the >> cedric, i want to ask about the upcoming ukrainian counter-offensive. so there has been reporting and nobody knows for sure, but one of the goals of the ukrainians might be to isolate crimea, the
8:09 am
russian-occupied crimea and cut them off with the mainland russia. if ukraine can push through right there. what would they get from there? >> it would be a sig nif cutoff not only from donbass region, but also from tand if they were to prevent that from working, they could then isolate crimea and a startup of the supplies from a military perspective. >> we will have to see what the ukrainians decide to do and as always, thank you, as always for
8:10 am
your help colonel cedric leighton. yesterday was bad enough for the tornadoes hitting the south, and flooding is swamping the midwest. the path of destruction in florida is stunning and spectacular. roofs are ripped off of the homes just west of tallahassee, and trees were snapped in half. more severe weather is in texas with concerns can over and the water keeps rising. what you seeing there? >> i am in davenport, iowa, and cars are usually driving here, but as you can see, the mississippi is ragingsh and park
8:11 am
benches is under water, and this is where people to greet each other, and we spoke to a woman who had her business in downtown davenport for years, and she says as the river rises, so does her anxiety. >> it is part of downtown davenport, and we -- i don't know. they won't put a flood wall up. thinking that everybody wants to look at the river. >> well, we are tired of looking at the river. it is enough. we have 22 employees very hard -- a lot. a lot of them have been here since yeah, so, it is hard. hopefully, we don't lose
8:12 am
anybody, but you never know. >> take a look at the image, because it is a sandbag, and you will see them in front of the businesses across the. >> reporter: and here neighbors are help neighbors fill up the sandbags and the forecast is saying that it should not crest for yet a couple of days. >> yes, and the skycam affiliates in davenport, iowa. >> and you can see that the
8:13 am
river is nearly over the banks. and abortion bills failed overnight in legislature, and it is the conservatives who helped to break those bills and it was tearsf joy after the so-called heartbeat act failed to pass. [ cheers ] >> you are seeing that bill there that would have banned care after six weeks. and also domestic violence and a few republicans joined together to filibuster. and this is the second time they have joined to prevent a total
8:14 am
abortion ban from passing. >> you are right, sara. this is the third time and it has been led by the five women senators and three republicans and one independent and one democrat. since the dobbs ruling, there are three introductions of the nearly total ban of abortion in south carolina from the point of conception with very, very limited exceptions. now each time it has been those women who have sort of been leading the charge here. there are men of course that all of the democratic men have been voting with them and three republican women. but it is the impassioned speeches from the five women, and they have been talking about the fact of the climate and how it could backfire. but the south carolina senate, the republicans outnumber the
8:15 am
democrats there and so it is not about the political climate, but they talked about biology, and the senators talked about the idea of legislative prior tis and also the idea of control. take a listen to how senator sandy senn pointed this out. >> abortion law is about control. it is always about control, plain and simple. in the senate, the men have control. and we as women have not asked for and did the senator from orangeburg ask for nor do we want your protection. we don't need it. >> these were the similar points in the filibusters when they killed it in a special session. sara, abortion is not off of the table yet, but the senate did pass a six-week abortion ban
8:16 am
that would iron out issues with the supreme court that hay had, but the house only wants to take a ban from the point of view of the women, and then it went to states. thank you. and now, mike pence went under oath. and brittney griner overcome with emotion with the first press conference in the u.s. after being detained in russia. her coach going to join us just ahead. iness' payroll taxes will calculate themselves. right? uhh...nope. intutuit quickbooks helps you manage your payroll taxes,s, cheers! with 1 100% accurate tax calculations guaranteed. this is... ♪

all right. moments ago, the federal reserve just released a stunning report on the bank failures last month. and they had an internal reserve to what led to the collapse of the banks and i am just stunned, because you just handed me this entire report and i am trying to read through it and the first line says "sill conn valley bank failed because of a textbook bank of mismanagement." >> yes, that is because it grew very, very quickly and it did not grow compliance and risk
8:22 am
management along with the growth and got caught up in a bad way and that is the second largest bank here in history and it had to be taken over by the fdic. and this is the four key takeaways by the fed. and the fed is regulator and supervisor here, and this is a critical report here of itself. the fed pointing out that 31 open warnings or complaints that the supervisors had flagged about the bank and all still open when the bank failed. the board of directors failed to manage the risk of this bank and failed to manage the leadership and the supervisors which is the federal banking supervisors did not appreciate the extent of the vulnerabilities and even when they did, they did not follow up on time, and page 15 and 16 of this report is talking about, john, how the climate has changed and the money is moving faster, and innovative products
8:23 am
and players in the arena and social media meant that there was a failure of the confidence and quickly spread. so the fed and regulators have to do a better job to get the tools in some places to prevent this from happening. >> now as i read the entire report as you were speaking. >> speed reader. >> it suggests what happened to sill conn valley bank is because of sill coicon valley bank? >> yes, the second paragraph said that our banking system is strong and resilient with capital and liquidity, and they used the term outlier. and we will be learning later about signature bank that catered to law firms and then got into crypto world, and that one bank and we will learn about that bank later today, and we will find out if that is another outlier and how many outliers we have out there, and so, they are
8:24 am
having the fed acknowledge, and as the fed chief jerome powell says, a drill down on to self-critical, because they are the supervisor here. >> and if they are outliers, if there is a lot of them, then they are not outliers. >> right, two banks in millions of them. >> thank you for the analysis there. not bitter at all. not at all as i look down from my perch. thank you, friends. >> right. and we are learning a little about mike pence going before the grand jury. cnn learns that he spoke for hours about the actions surrounding donald trump and the january 6th events. he has spoken different times, but this is the first time under
8:25 am
oath. cai caitlyn polanz has more on this, and what are you picking up? it is clearly difficult to get out of there what they have been discussing in the grand jury. >> right, kate. this grand jury is secret. it is a secret proceeding and very, very protected and the pence team has not even acknowledged at this point that mike pence testified yesterday, but we were able to confirm through our sources after he left the building and was done for the day, and so he had testified for more than five hours yesterday, one of the top advisers mark short who travels with him frequently, and i saw them in washington together and also someone who had testify to the grand jury previously, short did an interview on news nation, and this what he said. >> i think that the vice
8:26 am
president had his own case to make, but the courts had ordered him to comply. >> so short is not divulging what mike pence would have spoken about, but our reporting is this court fight that he is referring to devolved and what we learned through the court fight is that donald trump wanted to block mike pence from speaking about their direct conversation. trump lost that fight, and so it is very likely something that pence would have gone in to have spoken about before the grand jury yesterday. there were several conversations that the two men had, and the judges believed that trump was acting corruptly in those conversation, and pence would have had to talk about those as
8:27 am
well. kate. >> thank you. sarah. there is a boost of a space walk happening now, and those are live pictures from space. and nasa astronaut phil bowen and uae astronaut are upgrading solar panels. and the history is made because he is the first arab astronaut to make a space walk. and now, we will go to florida to see how the efforts to keep public records private could d be against florida r res laws. in a way no other mattress can. molecule by molecule, and millimeter by millimeter. all night. every night. now is the perfect time to experience the mattress ranked #1 in customer satisfaction

this morning the largest transportation network in north america is giving up on twitter. new york's mta say it is no longer going to post updates on buses and subways on twitter. the more than 15 million people who rely on the service around new york and connecticut will no longer rely on them. and why? why have they decided to do this? >> it is tying back to what the mta says multiple and repeated interruptions in access and
8:33 am
twice in the last few weeks alone and this is likely to do with the changes that twitter has been making under the changes of elon musk to the software interfaces that the places like the mta pushes to use for the realtime weather alerts or for third-party apps to post tweets on twitter. musk is seeing all of the access as a revenue opportunity. so in the last few week, musk has changed so that he has erected a pay wall with this for three tiers. i will go over those briefly in a second. he has free tier to let you read 1,500 tweets a month and not post anything. a basic tier that cost $100 a month, and a little bit more read/write access and then a commercial tier in which they
8:34 am
charge 4,200 up to 10,000 a month or the and write, and obviously, the mta is not going to pay for the service, and it does not typically make a habit to pay tech platforms to push weather an d and other groups are going to push back such as the national weather service and other academic and regional organizations saying that even if you pay for the higher services, the company will make less information available to you back when it was free.
8:35 am
overall, things are appearing to be getting less useful for twitter's institutional accounts as well as for the users. >> so look, it is the consumers who lose. thank you, brian fung. and now, as the president appears for a presidential run, some trying to shield him from the public records law, and we go to st. petersburg, florida, and are they trying to do something with florida's what we call the sunshine laws? >> that is right, sara. there are a number of bills moving through the ledge slay that records related to his travel or people he sends on his mission, and those records could no longer be allowed to be
8:36 am
reviewed by the public. another portion that about visits to the governor's mansion, and there is a measure so that political committee only have to report their fund ragz platform that governor desantis is planning to use for his superpac campaign. but that is not the only thing. outside of the legislative actions, we have also seen the governor to block records from his office, and keep people from testifying about a number of
8:37 am
using this before, and i have talked to others who said that no governor has said that he has governor privilege, and he can release a number of documents just as he is running for office. i talked to some who say it is about deshan tis not speeld him from blatant, and this is all retroactive and this is all to say that the public does not have a right to know. >> yes, but there are people who will to go need to go, there. and this is the first press conference since returning from
8:38 am
8:39 am
8:40 am
8:41 am
8:42 am
old school grit. new world ideas. morgan stanley. wnba star brittney griner quickly became emotional in her first press conference yesterday since returning to russia. she got choked up in the first question she was asked. watch this. >> i'm no stranger to hard times, so -- see, you cry and then you made me cry. umm, just digging deep, honestly.
8:43 am
you are going to be faced with adversities throughout your life, and this was a pretty big one, but i just kind of relied on my hard work, getting through it. i know this sounds so small, but dying in practice and hard workouts, you find way to grind it out and put your head down and keep going, and keep moving toward. >> the two-time olympic gold medalist was sentenced to nine years in prison for drug smuggling charges after authorities found cannabis oil in her luggage. she was released in december after a prisoner swap. and her coach joins us now. and for everyone, it was great to see her there and see her at the press conference and kind of speaking and taking questions
8:44 am
for the first time since coming back, and how has she been since returning and being back at practice? >> well, b.g. has been phenomenal, and such a joy, and you got to see it in the press conference. she is an effervescent personality, and brings happiness wherever she goes. she showed up, and i think that what most people would do is to go back to work. she is happy person, and she has been through something that is extremely trying, but she has been great. >> and i have to say that it seems that you could see kind of the effervescence and happiness in her at the press conference yesterday, but it seems impossible not to be a changed person after going through something like this and what she has gone through, and how has she changed and how is she diff different? >> well, it is a miracle. it is a miracle she is back, and
8:45 am
it is an amazing story, and someone who has gone through that, they could not be changed and they understand every moment, and the gratitude of the opportunities, and the importance of how every moment in our life can be taken from us, and b.g. had that happen to her, and so she probably comes into everyday with a little bit more perspective than most people. >> good point. when she went to russia and first detained she was one of the most dominant athletes in women's basketball. i mean, she was a force. so, what can people expect when they see her back on the court this season? >> yeah, she was arguably the best women's basketball player in the world when she was detained. so, it is 10 months of not being able to do that and it is a strain on the body, and she is a larger person, too, and she has been working hard, and a ton of progress, and will she be
8:46 am
exactly what we saw when she left on the first day, no, but by the end of the season, you will see what she expects to be back very soon. >> i know that i appreciated for her to be candid about her to be simple what average people can do and the frustration with the planks, and frustration with that which is so real, and also, she was candid about how other than the olympics she also, she was candid about how other than the olympics she is not going to be playing basketball overseas ever again, and you know this and anyone who follows basketball knows this, but players do it in order to supplement their income and contracts. what has the conversation been since b.g. and you want other members of the team to take that same stance and where is the conversation about this?
8:47 am
>> well, i want everyone to make their own choice. ase assets, and i was a basketball player and it was a great opportunity to play overseas, and not just financial but cultural to play overseas, but you have to pay attention to the traveling, and i understand why it was completely understandable that b.g. would not want to leave, and i am happy to have her home. >> and the wnbc is partnering with the campaign to "bring them home" which is a campaign of bringing hostages home overseas and what are you going to do to push this cause? >> well, b.g. has a tremendous
8:48 am
platform and as female athletes, we usually don't have that much media coverage, but she does. she is going to keep the bring our families home in front of every press conference and we will do letter-writing messages to wrongfully detain ed members overseas and bring in family members to the games, and keep it as a forefront as we did for b.g.'s containment to keep it at the forefront to bring home those lives. because every life that is detained away from their hom res been held in iran for many years

evaluate officers in the field and cnn hah got to see this technology firsthand. i watch theed story. it's really interesting. what can you tell us? >> i learned off the bat 1% of body camera footage is reviewed right now. but with this technology, this artificial intelligence, the founder say it is can review 100% of body cam footage. here's how it works. at official intelligence was trained on 5 million terms. and there are cue terms that the ai is looking for it's scanning body cam footage. insults, profanity, noncompliance, but on the flip side, positive traits, professional language and explanations. and ultimately, what this is hoping to do is catch problematic behavior with officers early on so we can possibly prevent situations like tyre nichols and george floyd. we traveled to pennsylvania is and spoke to a chief who is using this technology. he talks about the reports he
8:55 am
gets every single day about his officers. listen. >> those are the key words. >> they are. stop resisting. arrest. anything to do with a pursuit. i'm looking for high-risk things. not a whole lot of resistance, but it was giving me exactly what ufs looking for. >> so for you, this is a good interaction with one of your officers and a civilian. >> it is. >> so even though the chief there found that there was no incident with his police officer and the civilian, it was a good way for him to check to make sure. one of the tools that we're seeing with this artificial intelligence is also looking for good behavior with policing. to then go ahead and say our department is working under good standards. right now, only 20 departments are using this. there are 18,000 police departments in the u.s. we'll see if this takes off. >> it is very interesting. i'm sure the public would like to also know exact ly what is
