many reasons harmful to the court and we thought for many reasons it was generally a harmful decision. we thought it was wrong and five people thought it was right. >> so the truthful answer is at this moment i don't know exactly. there are people who spend a lot of time on this matter. i can say it is a very important thing, this right to abortion, and i think casey is a better opinion from a legal point of view than roe and i am very, very, very sorry. >> thank you for watching. you can catch my full interviews with bernie sanders and carol burnett anytime you want on hbo max. please join us here on cnn every friday night to find out who's talking next. welcome to our viewers

joining us in the united states and from around the world. ahead on cnn newsroom, a desperate search for survivors after russia unleashed one of its deadliest attacks on ukrainian civilians in months. the latest ceasefire in sudan appearing to break down in hours, the fighting picking back up even as hundreds remain trapped. we'll hear from a heroine who managed a harrowing escape from the country. plus a draft opinion from the u.s. supreme court overturning the right to an abortion and now the man who wrote it says he has a pretty good idea who was responsible. we begin with a race against time after russian missile strikes in ukraine. rescuers are scrambling to
11:02 pm
reach two children believed to be trapped under a building. a boy and girl are believed to be somewhere in the lower floors of these high rise. officials say at least 17 other people have been rescued. at least 23 people were killed in friday's strikes including at least four children. two more people died in a separate attack in dnipro. one survivor took a video just moments after the strike. we have to warn you, it is graphic. >> translator: i never thought this would happen. a rocket hit our building. we're all covered in blood. i don't know. our windows were blown out. it's good we're all alive. we're all covered in blood. god, we don't have windows, nothing. i was so afraid. >> president zelenskyy later held a minute of silence for the victims next to visiting leaders of slovakia and the
11:03 pm
czech republic. the ukrainian president later made the case for more weapons. >> translator: we can stop terror and save people only with weapons, air defense, modern aircraft. without which, there is no fully protected air defense, all that is necessary to provide security to our cities, villages both in the rear and front lines. >> a cnn crew was at the scene as rescue efforts were going on in uman. nic robertson has more. >> reporter: the firefighter have been working over 20 hours today. we've watched them bring out bodies throughout the day. they're high up now going through the last bit of rubble. they believe there are bodies up there. this has just been going on all day. residents asleep as a russian missile ripped through their apartments. rescuers in this small central
11:04 pm
ukrainian city uman on the scene first. >> translator: there were terrible screams of children. the explosion was very powerful. the houses started to shake in the nearby areas. the first one we pulled out was a living woman who was put in the ambulance, but she died in hospital. >> reporter: the death toll climbing through the day. this lady telling us she heard the missile, put her kids in the bathtub and pillows over their heads and hoped they'd live. fighting back tears, she said, "so many children live here." a gaping concrete and rubble wound where those innocent lives shattered, families and friends desperately awaiting news of loved ones. this lady telling us her friend on the eighth floor survived, but the friend's two daughters, one 13 years old and the other
11:05 pm
just 7, are still missing. a firefighter goes up to see those top floors. onto the roof nine floors above the recovery teams, you can see how the building has literally collapsed down here. there should be building right out here and the floors pancaked down with the roof tipping over down there. from here the damage even more devastating than down below. more than half the building's 46 apartments destroyed. the firefighters would come up here and as they've been doing all day literally putting themselves in danger to try to recover, to clear out the site to bring solace. ukrainian officials believe all this devastation caused by a
11:06 pm
single russian kh-101 stealth cruise missile, the single deadliest strike on civilians since january. 109 people registered living here. as night fell, many of them still unaccounted for. this effort to find the last of the missing is massive. the police, firefighters they say are going to work through the night. they're not going to give up. we've seen police doing dna testing for families, police psychologists counseling grieving family members here. it is a massive outpouring of support. it's a message for the ukrainians to themselves is a message to president putin from the ukrainians. no amount of shelling is going to make them give up. the nic robertson, cnn, uman, ukraine. we now want to show you new video near bakhmut where there's been grueling fighting for months. the footage shows a road out of
11:07 pm
the city with devastation as far as the eye can see. ukrainian troops are still holding onto part of bakhmut. one ukrainian soldier said they aren't even close to giving up. >> you can't see anything, so only listening can help you. it's very difficult, but we have to do this. this is our land. we have to fight for this. everything that is possible and even what is impossible, we have to do. >> meanwhile a well known mural in bakhmut has fallen victim to the shelling. the depiction of a mother and child was on a high rise that was blown up in a recent attack. the chief diplomatic adviser of ukraine's president is pushing for more weapons ahead of an expected ukrainian counteroffensive. he spoke on cnn several hours ago. >> you need an artillery
11:08 pm
systems and enough ammunition to start the counterartillery battery fight and they you use your manpower. they need our tents which we started to receive from the western states, from the european states but not enough amount. when we receive the weapons, we do not store them in the warehouse or whatever. we immediately use them on the battlefield and you know ukraine has been withstanding more than 14 months and hard times in the east of ukraine where defending each and every inch of ukrainian territory. so you cannot just tell, you know, i've provided you some percentage and you're assured you will not get anything else. we need the weapons with the intensity the russians are attacking us, with the intensity russians are bombarding our cities, with intensity russians firing our front line. we need still more. yes, we need artillery, weapon
11:09 pm
tents, armored vehicles, air defense systems. look, 23 missiles were hit this night. 21 were intercepted, but still two hit at the target. we need more and more short range, medium range and long range air defense systems in order to protect ukraine. >> the official spoke with wolf blitzer on cnn's "the situation room." we got word of a fuel tank fire in a ukrainian port city. initial reports indicate it was caused by a drone. he said they're working on getting information about casualties. response teams are at the scene. russian president vladimir putin is ordering the construction of museums dedicated to the war in ukraine. the kremlin says they'll be built across russia and they'll showcase the events of the
11:10 pm
"special military operation" as russia calls the war. cnn's former moscow bureau chief explaining the significance. >> this is to me an indication putin has no intent of stopping. in fact, what he is going to be doing is essentially propagandizing children for the next 20 years by creating this. they're changing the educational system, et cetera. so he is, if anything, he is digging in and trying to convince his own people that this is what russians' mission in the world should be. it's really perverse. >> a day earlier putin signed a decree that allows the deportation of ukrainian citizens from territories illegally annexed by russia if they are deemed "national security threat." residents from kherson, donetsk
11:11 pm
and luhansk who have not taken russian citizenship would be recognized as foreigners and could be expelled. ukrainians living in these areas without a russian passport would have to apply for a residence permit, undergo fingerprints and provide documents in russian. it was written, "the process of changing the ethnic composition of these territories where russia is being resettled is taking place. this is an obvious manifestation of the genocidal nature of the war." turning to sudan where the latest ceasefire has been marred by reports of violence. two days into the three-day truce both the army and the paramilitary group accuse each other of violations, this as the rsf says it now controls 90% of khartoum state. fighting has also increased in
11:12 pm
sudan's west darfur region. at least 96 people have been reportedly killed there in what the u.n. human rights chief calls deadly ethnic clashes. basic necessities like food, water, and medicine are in short supply across the country. the united nations says more than 50,000 people have already fled to neighboring countries while thousands of other civilians are reportedly unable to escape the fighting. the white house has urged american citizens to leave the country amid criticism it's not doing enough to facilitate those exits. here's what one congressman says what needs to be done. >> with the airport being closed and with the fighting going on, the biden administration is trying to find the over-the-land route that's safe to get people out, but there's got to be constant communication. that's my concern. there must be constant
11:13 pm
communication with our american citizens so that we can give them the appropriate guidance when it's safe to move and how to move and to make sure they'll then get transport from land to one of the other countries where they can be found in a safe fashion. >> thousands have fled the country by crossing the red sea into saudi arabia. we have more on the exodus out of sudan. >> reporter: saudi arabia is a key diplomatic player in sudan, part of what's called the accord. it's becoming the main landing point for people evacuated from port sudan across the red sea, almost 3,000 people evacuated from 80 different nationalities. only a small percentage of them were saudi nationals. this is because there's still this mass exodus out of sudan as people expect probably this fighting will go on for a much
11:14 pm
longer period, already crossed the two-week mark with no signs of abating even though another ceasefire is supposed to be in place, but it appears to have already been violated and each side blaming the other for violating it first. people arriving here from all around the world, from the u.s., uk, canada, from kenya, from every nationality you can think of. they say here a couple days before they go on to whatever they want to go to, but the u.s. says it is committed to getting people to safety. americans that are still in sudan even though it didn't carry the large scale evacuation of citizens that other countries like the uk did. >> over the course of this crisis, we have been actively soliciting contact with u.s. citizens seeking help. so far fewer than 5,000 u.s. citizens have requested additional information from us. of those, only a fraction have actively sought our assistant
11:15 pm
to depart sudan. several hundred u.s. citizens have departed sudan either by land, sea, or aircraft. we encourage u.s. citizens who are no longer in sudan to respond the message they received when they first completed the online crisis form to inform us of our safe departure. we are providing the best possible information we can to anyone asking for our assistance about conditions regarding safety and security so that they can make their own decisions about whether and when to depart. >> reporter: as the u.s. figures out the best way to get as many people as possible out of sudan, the uk says it is ending its evacuation efforts of citizens in sudan calling it the largest and longest evacuation effort by any western nation. there will be people still trying to get on after this evacuation effort ends. the u.n. says at least 50,000 people have crossed into neighboring country as this battle drags on in sudan.
11:16 pm
deanna wilker is a teacher at an international school in khartoum who recently made it back home safely to north carolina and joins us now from raleigh. great to have you with us. i know this has been a terrifying ordeal for you getting out of sudan. can you please tell us the moment you realized this was so serious you needed to leave the country. >> we've had a lot of things happen in sudan, never anything like this. that first saturday, the 15th, when basically gunfire and gunbattles were happening literally on the street in front of my building, we had messages going back. our school administration was on the phone saying stay away from the windows, get down, find somewhere to be and stay
11:17 pm
put. even though we had the coup a year and a half ago, it was never quite like this. this was definitely we knew immediately this was not the same. this was dangerous. this was different and pretty terrifying, to be honest. >> yes. you have been working in sudan the last three years. you are familiar with the conflict and the violence. tell us about your contact with the u.s. embassy throughout this ordeal. >> i wouldn't say contact. i'm registered in the step program, so i get alerts all the time, but basically the only thing that those emails ever said was shelter in place. that's the only information i ever had. that was it for a few days
11:18 pm
until things got really hot in our area and again, all our information came from our own administration calling us at one point saying okay, pack a bag in the middle of the night. they said pack one bag and you all need to get out of there right now. we basicallydark streets to find a safer location. >> you moved to a couple hotels. in the end the french embassy came to your rescue. >> again, in the middle of the night we got the call. our other colleagues and admin were banging on the door saying, "get dressed. get packed and be ready," so we were ready and then nothing happened. apparently the embassy people were taken out and we were still there. then a few hours after that my
11:19 pm
superintendent basically contacted us again and said, "everybody downstairs." so we had a quick meeting downstairs each with our individual bags and she had heard -- i don't know from where -- about the french embassy doing an evacuation and that they were not just evacuating french citizens. obviously they probably had first preference, but they would take anyone up to a certain number. obviously there was only so many people that could fit on whatever they were doing. that was it. we had to get to the french embassy. we had a very scary drive. we had four vehicles, personal vehicles. eventually we got there and we stayed, sheltered with them for the day because they didn't move out until the evening. so we loaded up on four charter buses and again, sort of a
11:20 pm
nervous drive. thank god for them. the only other thing that we were hearing was you can at your own risk try to go by land to port sudan or to the border with egypt, but that was even more terrifying, the thought of that. so i was seriously relieved despite going still past military checkpoints on our way. we had french soldiers with us, not that they were going to get into a giant gunbattle with the military in sudan, but they had, i guess, made mostly made arrangements for us to pass through and then we got to their air base. bags got checked. then we loaded onto a huge c- 130. so that basically, once we took off from there, that was a huge relief. we eventually got to djibouti. the french were amazing.
11:21 pm
i cannot thank them enough because there was no other help coming, you know. they gave us food, water and eventually helped us get our temporary visas for everybody so everybody could kind of scatter out to various hotels in the area while we all then looked for commercial ways home. >> deanna, i'm so pleased that you got home safely and you are there with your family. i know that you are concerned about the thousands of other americans and foreigners still stranded in sudan. we thank you for your time and wish you the very best. >> thank you very much. still to come, supreme court justice alito has his suspicions about who might have been behind the draft abortion opinion leak last year. that's next. t funds allow me to enjoy what i love to do.

11:26 pm
would the five of us have done that to ourselves? it's quite implausible." alito said he doesn't have enough proof who was behind the leak to actually name the person. two bills to further restrict abortions have failed in two state legislatures controlled by republicans. in nebraska democrats cheered after they blocked a bill that would have banned most abortions after six weeks of pregnancy. the bill fell just one vote shy of passing when two republicans abstained from voting. in south carolina dramatic showdown on the state senate floor after five women, including three republicans, voted against a bill that would have banned most abortions in that state. take a look. >> they don't care about the children. they care about a victory. >> we women have not asked for as the senator from orangeburg

11:29 pm
supreme court's dobbs ruling gave states the final decision on abortion, kansas voters shocked republicans with a resounding rejection of restrictions at the polls. but since then several states have enacted new laws severely limiting abortion access, especially in the south, though some states remain tied up in the courts. south carolina did pass a six- week abortion ban, but the state supreme court struck it down. so as neighboring state shut down access, south carolina has seen a short increase in out- of-state patients seeking abortion care. right now abortion is legal in south carolina and nebraska until about 20 weeks. that doesn't mean further restrictions are totally off the table, especially in south carolina where there's about a week of the session to go. in fact, the state senate passed a bill they say addresses the issues the state supreme court had with the original six-week abortion ban with exceptions, but according to those three senators, the

"the washington post" is reporting on more evidence collected by the special counsel in its investigation of january 6th that suggests the former president and his team knew their claims about a stolen election were false. specifically the post uncovered a second study paid for by the trump campaign to look into
11:35 pm
their allegations of voter fraud. according to the post, the founder of the firm has since spoken with the justice department. ken block told the post, "no substantial voter fraud was uncovered in my investigations, nor was i able to confirm any outside claims of voter fraud i was asked to look at. every fraud claim i was asked to investigate was false." this comes a day after we learned of a possibly important moment both in the investigation and history. former u.s. vice president mike pence testified before the grand jury. it's the first time in modern history a vice president has been compelled to testify about the president he served under. it's also the first time he's testified about january 6th under oath. lawrence tribe is a harvard school professor and tells cnn former president trump should have a lot to worry about right now. >> he ought to be very

concerned because mike pence is the last piece in the puzzle. he is the one who was the object of the former president's attempt to storm the capitol with an angry mob when it turned out mike pence wouldn't do his bidding and basically carry out a bloodless coup. all of the conversations between the president and vice president who were in office at that time are going to be fair game for the prosecutor. the special prosecutor had mike pence in there before the grand jury all day yesterday. he wasn't taking the fifth amendment because he doesn't have any criminal exposure. he wasn't invoking his special role as president of the senate because the courts had already rejected the claim that that special role entitled him to stay silent when it came to
11:37 pm
what the president was doing and saying to him and the president, who was in the office at the time that pence was vice president, failed just the day before yesterday in his final attempt to invoke executive privilege to silence the former vice president, though pence was in a position to tell the truth. he really had no alternative. that truth is very damning to the former president. >> many thanks to laurence tribe for speaking to cnn. the 2024 presidential field is only beginning to take shape, but president joe biden is facing a democratic party challenge from a member of the political dynasty who made a name for himself as an anti- vaccine activist. robert k. kennedy jr., the son

republicans and it's just reversed a ruling on gerrymandering made last year when it was controlled by democrats. that means district boundaries drawn to favor one party over the other will not be allowed. it's a big loss for the voting rights groups that challenged the congressional plan drawn by the republican legislature. the case had also already made its way before the united states supreme court. it's unclear if that case will now be dismissed in the wake of this new state ruling. first republic bank could be in trouble. its stock plummeted about 75% this week. it was down more than 40% friday and follows a disappointing first quarter earnings report monday which in turn fanned wall street's fears of a banking crisis. the white house has snuffed out any hopes of government intervention, an administration source telling cnn it has no new plans to rescue first republic. reports swirled the bank will

likely go into receivership by the fdic. this comes just a month after the collapse of silicon valley bank and the shutdown of new york-based signature bank. u.s. regulators are revealing the results of their investigation into failure of those banks. the federal reserve says poor management is part of the reason why signature bank collapsed and it was also linked to silicon valley bank's failure days before. the report pointed to management shortcomings and to some of its own. >> reporter: the report thorough, more than 100 pages, its findings damning, a textbook case of bank mismanagement it reads, the federal reserve releasing its highly appeared self- assessment, post mortem, if you will, on the collapse of silicon valley bank. a letter that accompanied the

report, "bank senior leadership failed to manage basic liquidity risk and hold senior leadership accountable and federal reserve supervisors failed to take forceful enough action. in other words, this was a failure on all levels." more than a year before the bank fell, fed supervisors began raising red flags. so why couldn't they prevent svb's demise? the report says supervisors delayed action to gather more evidence, even as weaknesses were clear and growing and this meant that supervisors did not force svb to fix its problems and said, "we need to evaluate how to insure that supervision intensifies at the right pace as a firm grows in size or
