7:00 am
7:01 am
good saturday morning. it is april 29th. good to have you along. i'm victor blackwell. >> i'm amara walker. you're in the cnn newsroom. we begin with ukraine and a deadly russian missile strike on an apartment complex. the attack killed almost two dozen people, including six children. and it's believed to be the deadliest strike on civilians since january. it happened 4:00 a.m. local time when most people were asleep. ukraine's air force says russia fired a barrage of long range cruise missiles from the aircraft in the caspian sea area. president volodymyr zelenskyy says his forces shot down 21 of the 23 missiles fired. >> cnn's nic robertson has been on the scene since shortly after the strike, joining us now from uman, ukraine. hi, nic. what's the latest there? >> it is bad news from here. the death toll is now 25.
7:02 am
you can see the recovery efforts still going on. but this is really just pulling out the debris, getting that off the site here. and we've been talking with firefighters, talking with the police here, and the firefighters now say they have been through the whole building, they searched everything that they can search for, so the death toll that was at 23 has gone up to 25, but sadly for some of those families who are waiting for information about loved ones, it has gone up not because they found two bodies, but because they just acknowledged the fact that two people who were believed missing, they may just never be able to recover them. so this is a difficult day, afternoon, for a lot of people here. the effort to tidy this place up, and get the community back to normal, i suppose, is under way, there's a lot of repairs to buildings going on around here, but that, more than 30-hour effort, to get all of the answers, to recover everyone possible, that is now over and
7:03 am
wrapping up. >> nic robertson there for us, thank you so much. now to sudan where the situation is growing more desperate. fighting between sudan's armed forces and the para-military group that rapid support forces, that continues, and food and water are in short supply across the country. >> more than 50,000 people have escaped to chad, egypt, south sudan, and the central african republic. and as you would imagine, there is also growing anger among americans who feel abandoned by the u.s. government as the crisis in sud zan is raging. despite a number of nations evacuating citizens, the white house says there are no plans to conduct a civilian evacuation. the state department officials say as many as a,000 citizens and their families in sudan have asked for information, and a fraction of those are looking for assistance to leave the country.
7:04 am
earlier this morning, i spoke with an american teacher who had worked in sudan for three years at an international school. she left the country as violence ripped through khartoum. you can see the video there, this is video she took on her own cell phone, on april 15th. she woke up on a saturday morning, to hear fighting there in the streets of khartoum. and she said that the u.s. should treat civilians in sudan the same as embassy staff and personnel. >> people are not there on holiday. they're not on vacation. it's not like you're saying oh, okay, i want to take a holiday, let's go to sudan, no, people are there working, they're working for humanitarian purposes, for educational purposes, trying to help the people there, just like embassy people, they're there doing their job, too. >> joining me now is former ambassador mary carlin yaetz, a former concierge for sudan, ambassador, appreciate you joining us this morning.
7:05 am
and too, what our guests who escaped sudan had to say, many governments including the u.k., germany, india, they have flown their citizens out of sud zan in the last few days. why can't the u.s. do the same? why isn't it standard practice? >> good morning. and thank you for having me. of course, i'm not in any official capacity, so i can't really speak directly to answer that question, but i think what i can say is that every embassy makes very serious preparations for such eventualities and i'm sure that this embassy must have been hosting what they call emergency action committee meetings, probably since the coup in october of 2021, and every embassy has an emergency action plan, and that includes evacuation plans, having set
7:06 am
places to both the embassy staff and american citizens gather or safe haven, you know, i was encouraged and i can't verify, but i was reading in "the new york times," that the first embassy, or i should say u.s. government organized evacuation was occurring yesterday, in buses out of khartoum, and i read that the gathering point, as we always designate, was a golf course, quite close to the embassy. i actually played that golf course when i was there. and it talked about buses were going to go and head to port sudan and there would be aerial drone coverage to assist in the security. >> i'm glad you talked about, this because i do want to play quickly some sound from secretary of state antony blinken on thursday, regarding the government's efforts to get americans out. listen. >> as we've looked at this, we
7:07 am
believe that the best way to have an enduring capability to help people leave sudan if that's what they so choose is over land. and we are working to establish a process that would enable people to move over land, to a place where they can more easily exit the country. and in all likelihood, port sudan. that is under very active development. >> if you look at the map, i want to show the viewers the map, in where khartoum is located in relation to port sudan, it is about a 500-mile journey. i understand you have taken this journey before. just how difficult and how far is it to get to port sudan from khartoum, especially, i mean, when you're under fire potentially. >> exactly. no, it is an excellent question. it is about 525 miles, and you know, i was in an armored air-conditioned car, and i still thought it was a long arduous journey. i can only imagine when i saw the buses going, and how
7:08 am
difficult the journey would be. and as we understand, from news reporting, there were any number of checkpoints along the way. when i heard secretary blinken say that on thursday, in my mind, i thought, yes, something is being prepared, and it's sort of the number one thing, whether it is the memorandum of understanding between state and d.o.d., or our own personal emergency action plans, protecting american citizens is the number one goal always, you know, when you train to be an ambassador, it is drilled in your head, you must be there to, number one, protect american citizens. so i am sure that this plan, i mean if this is what is being executed, and we should be seeing people arrive in port sudan before too long, if this reporting is accurate, but it seems to be the mechanism the u.s. government has come up with to be safe, and i must say, i was surprised yesterday that the
7:09 am
turkish airlines came in to rescue some of the turkey citizens, did take light gunfire, and it showed the bullet holes in the plane. so i think there's some justification for waiting and finding a mechanism that could be repeated and is the safest. >> and tell me again what this mechanism might look like, because we heard there from secretary of state blinken that there would be a process that they're trying to put together that would enable people to move over land. you talked about air cover. that's what you're hearing, i mean how, what kind of, i guess, assurances could the u.s. government get? would it be theoretically from both sides to ensure there is some kind of a safe zone so people can get into a bus and head over to port sudan? >> well, again, my knowledge is coming out of the open press, and i have no other source at this point, but what i understood was that there was a gathering point, and there were
7:10 am
buses, in the plural, and they talked about approximately 300 citizens, who are going to be moved and it referred to aerial drones that were being flown by the u.s. military. that has been reported for i would say four or five days, that they were flying drones to check out security routes. so i mean that's what, that's what i have read, and it sounds to me like that is the mechanism that the secretary was referring to. >> ambassador yates, we will have to leave it there. really appreciate you joining us this morning. thank you for your time. as we mentioned, more than 50,000 people have fled sudan since the fighting starting, cnn's larry was aboard a ship from saudi arabia to sudan to pick up more evacuees. >> this is the saudi warship, it is about to depart from jeddah
7:11 am
from the naval base to sudan, a 10 or 12-hour journey across the red sea to evacuate more people out of sud zan. it is a saudi military but there are commercial ships that have done the same and one is about to come into port here in jeddah and so far the saudi say, there are about 3,000 people evacuated out of port sudan. only about 100 of them were saudi nationals. they came from 80 different countries including the u.s., u.k., australia, canada, kenya, and from all over the globe. saudi arabia is a key diplomatic player in sudan. and despite what is called the quad, that includes the u.s., the u.k., and the united arab emirates. so when these people come here, they receive, they are given food, and what is travel, final travel arrangements. this has quickly become one of the largest international evacuation efforts since the last time the world saw something like this was when the taliban took over afghanistan, and with the conflict still
7:12 am
dragging none sudan, it is critical to get so many people out of a conflict in sudan. cnn, jeddah. >> larry, thank you for that report. still ahead, more than 20 million people are facing a threat of severe storms today. we'll show you the areas most at risk. the president can no longer ignore by not negotiating. >> we are still waiting for house republicans to produce a budget. they produced a ransom note. >> democrats and republicans spar over the debt limit. will this week's passage of the republican plan force the white house to negotiate spending cuts? provide nutrients to support immune, muscle, bone, and heart health. yaaay! woo hoo!o! ensure with 25 vitamins and minerals and ensure complete with 30 grams of protein. ♪ if your moderate to severe crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms are stopping you in your tracks... choose stelara® from the start...

7:17 am
sheriff says they found the victims last night after receiving a harassment report. and although their identities are not known, he believes they are from honduras. a judge has issued an arrest warrant for the suspect described as a mexican man, according to a consulate card found at his home. right now, 0 million people are in the path of another round of severe weather in the southeast. parts of georgia and florida are expected to take the brunt of today's storms. people there are facing two rounds of thunderstorms, one this afternoon and a second tonight. this comes after a week of bad weather in florida, tornadoes ripped through several homes near tallahassee, and left a splintered mess in its wake. look. >> this is texas. strong winds and golf ball-sized hail pelted the central part of the state. for the midwest, the threat today is continued flooding. after all that snow melted, several rivers crested, and
7:18 am
cnn's adrian broadus shows us just how much water is inundating some of these towns. >> good morning. i'm in downtown davenport. and as the river continues to rise, anxiety levels for local business owners are also going up. i'm standing in the middle of main street, normally around this time of the day, cars are traveling through here, but no car can get through, because the area is flooded. just over beyond the rail road crossing is where the embankment of the mississippi river is. and as you can see, the water has overflowed, the park benches submerged, and around town, people are taking steps to mitigate the damage. one local business owner is worried. >> we've got 22 employees. very hard-working. a lot of them have been here since we opened. so it's hard. and hopefully we don't lose
7:19 am
anybody. but you never know. >> that was claudia anderson who managing the phoenix, as you can see, her sub pump is working overtime, removing water from the backup sewage system. meanwhile, the river is expected to crest here sunday night or early monday. victor and amara. >> thank you, adrienne. meteorologist allison chinchar is with us now. let's start with the flooding in the midwest and what the river levels look like now. >> right, so they probably look very similar to what we saw yesterday, because that is the thing with river flooding, it is different from flash flooding which happens quickly and the water goes back down quickly. with river flooding, it is a prolonged flooding event. you can see all of the dots here, where you can see the red and the purple ones, there are dozens that are either at the moderate or even major flood stage. several of them not expected to crest until tomorrow, monday, or even tuesday of the upcoming week. we actually have the chance for
7:20 am
rain across much of the midwest for today. albeit not a ton of rain, but at this point, really any additional rainfall is hurting a lot of those rivers, creeks, and streams, from being able to have those levels come back down very quickly. we also have rain and thunderstorms across the northeast and the southeast today. the best chance for strong to severe thunderstorms is going to be along the gulf coast here. basically, all of these areas have the potential for damaging winds, large hail, and yes, the potential for some tornadoes, even water spouts right there along the coastal regions. it's not one, but two separate waves that we're dealing with. that first one, it is the chunk of storms, it is right over the gulf of mexico, right now, and that's going to arrive this afternoon, across florida, and then the secondary wave sets in late this evening, and into the overnight hours. we also have very heavy rain that is going to be sliding into the northeast. especially across portions of new york, as well as pennsylvania. >> allison chinchar, thank you. new york's mayor is asking fema to stop giving money to
7:21 am
cities that use the funds to ship migrants to his city. now, for context, consider this. the biden administration is preparing for an influx of migrants as title 42 is scheduled to expire in just two weeks. >> cnn's polo sandoval joins now. this idea was pitched at a meeting with the fema director. what was the response? >> no response yet according to several sources that understand what took place there. but here is the thing. there is a potential for a very thorny political relationship between new york city's mayor and president biden. that is because of this pressure that eric adams has been been trying to put on the white house to step in and help the city of new york shoulder the mounting cost of caring for tens of thousands of asylum seekers that arrived here in the past year. remember, this so-called migrant crisis started last april, and since then, we have received at least 58,000 migrants here in new york city. out of those, you can see the numbers there, about 36,000 are
7:22 am
still in the city's care. and when you add it all up, the concern here is that the cost to care for these asylum seekers, the majority of them still cannot actually work legally, this is what really concerns officials, that by next summer, we could see a $4.3 billion price tag attached to the city's efforts to care for these asylum seekers. so that's why we have heard from mayor eric adams, like we said, really trying to increase the pressure on the white house to step in, in the form of executive action. and this is something that we have actually seen and heard from eric adams since last year and it really has intensified, including what we just heard, not too long ago, from the mayor himself. or rather, i should say a few days ago. take a listen. >> the greatest challenge is the migrant and asylum seekers. the failure to come up with real reform is going to devastate this country and the white house not having a real plan, i think,
7:23 am
is irresponsible. the lack of funding is going to undermine this entire city. >> reporter: so that is key to understanding the political dynamics at play here. eric adams, the mayor of america's largest city, a democrat, really pressuring his fellow democrat, in the white house, to act, and in the form of executive action, saying that one of the potential solutions here would be to expand tps protections, to include central americans and venezuelans and sudan, and allowing them to potentially work in the u.s. and pay their way into some housing on their own versus having to rely on the city's very strained system of homeless shelters. >> polo sandoval, thank you very much. house speaker kevin mccarthy says he has not heard from the white house since the chamber passed the debt ceiling proposal on republican votes. the president maintains there will be no negotiations. the latest from washington, next. a of delicious subs.

7:28 am
regulators have released the finings of the investigation into the failure of silicon valley bank. the federal reserve says poor management is part of the reason why svb collapsed. >> the report also pointed to management shortcomings and issues with fed evaluations. here's cnn's rehel solomon. >> reporter: good morning to you. the report was thorough. more than 100 pages. its findings? damning. a textbook case of bank mismanagement, it reads. the federal reserve releasing its highly-anticipated self assessment, a postmortem if you will on the collapse of silicon valley bank march 10th. michael bar, the supervision, br writing in a report, failing basic liquidity risk and the
7:29 am
board of directors failed to oversee senior leadership and hold them accountable and federal reserve supervisors failed to take them into action. and in other words, this was a failure at every level. but we already knew that the fed was aware of some of svb's programs, according to recent testimony from bar, more than a year before the bank fall, the fed began raising reds flags and why could they not prevent the demise? the report says that supervisors delayed action to gather more evidence, and even as business was clear, and growing and this meant that supervisors did not force svb to fix the problems. even as the problems worsened. the report also acknowledging that it is time for the fed to reconsider how it evaluates some banks, saying, quote, we need to evaluate how to ensure that supervision intensifies at the right pace, as the firm grows in size or complexity. so what now? well, the ceo and co-founder of monetary policy analytics tells me, i think there might be a
7:30 am
little bit more holistic, as to look at broadening the scope of what they look at, from american metrics such as cash levels and the composition of their deposits, to more kwaut qualitative metrics about the characters of the banks. as for the larger banking system, writing that svb was an outlier and quote our banking system is sounds and resilient. >> thank you very much. let's turn to washington and the clock is running on the debt ceiling standoff. republicans hope president biden will be now pressured to negotiate but house speaker kevin mccarthy says he has not heard from the white house. >> house republicans passed the debt ceiling proposal this week. it was a narrow win but still a win for mccarthy and it looks unlikely it will make it through the senate. cnn has more from washington. so right now, democrats and republicans, yes, they're locked in a stalemate. president biden said show me a plan. mccarthy did. and it doesn't exactly make things easy anymore, does it?
7:31 am
>> reporter: no, it doesn't. and good morning to you. i mean house speaker kevin mccarthy faced his toughest test yet. he passed it. i mean he was able to force through republicans the debt limit bill this week and the key question now is what is next? the white house and the democrats, even before the republicans passed the bill, had said that this was dead on arrival and they were going to reject it outright. but that does leave congress in a dangerous stalemate over how are they going to get a deal that both sides can support. i will argue though, that mccarthy did secure a very useful talking point in getting this through, even though a lot of people, democrats mostly think this, is that even though it is an unserious bill, they are the ones, house republicans, to have really successfully passed a bill to raise the debt limit. >> so what happens next? >> yes, so what's next? so the next step that republicans are arguing is that they need to sit down and have
7:32 am
negotiations. president biden and the white house say that they are not ready to do that. their argument is that any discussion over spending cuts needs to be tied to the budget, not to the debt limit, and here's how minority leader hakeem jeffries on that this week. >> the president has continued to make clear that he is willing to talk to anyone on capitol hill about the type of spending decisions and investment decisions and revenue decisions that should be made to protect the health, the safety and the economic well-being of the american people. there is a process for that to occur. it's called the budget. we are still waiting for house republicans to produce a budget. they produced a ransom note and said pass our irresponsible default on america act, or else, we're going to default. that's not serious. that's not responsible.
7:33 am
>> reporter: so there's house minority leader hakeem jeffries on this, and backing up president biden and the white house and saying no negotiations right now on this. but that position will become untenable soon. the debt limit deadline is approaching fast. current estimates put that at some point in july. and meanwhile, there are some democrats who are beginning to put pressure on joe biden to start negotiations. people like senator joe manchin. and so we're going to see that play out in the coming weeks. >> thank you. cnn political analyst and pbs news hour correspondent is here us with now. and we were discussing whether speaker mccarthy could get the votes to pass this, and he's now done it. i'm trying to understand what has changed dramatically. it is not going anywhere in the senate. how do you frame the progress of the last week, if you can call
7:34 am
it that. >> yes, i would say like elena, that this is an incremental narrow progress. if that, one would also argue that this has created an environment where both sides are much more dug in, in their positions, because of the fact that what the bill that speaker mccarthy passed is a conservative wish list. that's how he was able to get the votes that he needed, and narrowly was able to get the votes that he needed, because he ultimately changed the original bill that he was pursuing, so that way, key get conservatives on board, and as many of the republicans as he needed. that's why the white house feels as though it is not a realistic proposal, and that they are still calling on the speaker to pass a clean debt limit with them, and then they're willing to talk about spending cuts. >> but we are hearing from some democrats, and the usual suspects, you have senator manchin, other purple state and purple district democrats, who are saying that the white house should sit down and talk.
7:35 am
maybe they're not using the word negotiate specifically, but that there is a time to sit and talk. is there any consideration, are you seeing any cracks within the white house, to say at some point, we may have to sit down with republicans and come to something more than just no negotiations at all? >> so far, no. and what the white house says is that they're willing to talk and have negotiations around spending cuts, but they're not willing to tether that to the debt limit. they argue that the debt limit was raised three times under former president trump, with republicans, when it was a clean debt ceiling increase, and that republicans should be willing to do that again now, rather than risk a recession. or risk going over the cliff, which can lead to cuts to social security and medicare. it can lead to military paychecks not going out. and so the white house still feels very firm in this, and they're backed by democratic leaders and a majority of democrats, in both the senate
7:36 am
and the house. so even though there are some moderate democrats like senator joe manchin, who are trying to pressure the white house, to just talk about everything right now, no one in the white house appears to be budging. >> all right. let's turn to 2024. and ambassador nikki haley. she made news when she announced in her announcement that she was running for president. calling for this competency test for politicians over 75. but this week, she also went a step further and said this about president biden and vice president harris. watch. >> he's announced that he's running again in 2024, and i think that we can all be very clear and say with a matter of fact that if you vote for joe biden, you really are counting on a president harris, because the idea he would make it until 86 years old is not something that i think is likely. >> so putting the president likely not making it to 86, we
7:37 am
talked a lot about that since she said that, but republicans now increasingly focusing on the vice president, and vice president kamala harris, what should we make of that shift to focus on the vp? >> i'd argue that republicans have used harris as a foil for quite a long time. the vice president for a while. particularly because she has struggled a bit in her role as vice president, you know, there is high expectations for her, considering that many expect her to eventually run for the presidency again. and republicans often zone in on when they think that she's had a misstep, or they think she has misspoken on these event, but the white house is really leaning in to vice president harris being out there on the campaign trail, especially once they ramp that up. and she is someone who we've seen more and more take on the mantle of protecting abortion
7:38 am
rights and going out there across the country, trying to continue to talk about what the white house would do as republican states are trying to restrict abortion rights more and more, because democrat, including those in the white house, feel as though that's one of the biggest issues that can mobilize their base coming next november. and now let's talk about there democratic primary, robert f. kennedy jr. announced his candidacy, he was on with michael smerconish last hour. the fox news poll just came out, shows him at 19% against president biden. no suggestion here that he's going to win the nomination or even a primary contest. but if you are inside the president's camp, and just on name recognition, or a decision to want someone else, rfk jr., who is lately known as just an anti-vaccine activist, at 19%, showed just as strong in other polls, does that worry them at all, that you know, he's not going to win likely, but that
7:39 am
he's getting double digits? 20% in the first poll numbers. >> well, right, right. what concerns the white house as well as the democratic pollsters that i've talked is that enthusiasm, they look at that, they look at that poll as, yes, there are democrats who are not necessarily super enthusiastic for a second term for biden, but they do think that a lot of these issues, particularly around freedom, particularly around abortion, gun rights, lbgtq rights, that they can really mobilize the base, particularly young voters. >> all right, laura barron-lopez, thank you so much. still ahead, it was an extraordinary day in u.s. history. now, never-before-seen photos are showing what went on behind the scenes on the white house on the day osama bin laden was killed.

well. that action begins at 7:00 eastern over on tbs. and finally for you this morning, kentucky quarterback will levis was supposed to have a night that we never forget on thursday. he is not going to forget about t-but for all of the wrong reasons. his name never called at the nfl draft. he didn't have to wait long to find a new team on friday. the tennessee titans traded up to grab him with the number 33 overall pick and he could be one of these players, guys, that is a real steal, and espn says that there is a 29 92% chance that we have been picked in the top ten so the way that the quarterbacks were in this year's draft it could be interesting to see what he ends up doing in his pro career. the draft wrapping up this afternoon. very exciting. all the way to the last pick. known as mr. irrelevant, in last year's selection, turned out to be anything but irrelevant, it was 49ers quarterback brock purdy who led a game to the super bowl. anything can happen. and certainly no shortage of motivation for levis as he starts his pro career. >> thank you very much. and lebron went straight to

my styles have been eclectic. and i think now sort of my style is driven by the feedback i get from ai. a lot of people have seen ai art just in a digital sense. but i have been likening to bring it to the physical realm to work with three modelers and castors and sculptors, and involving humans in that chain is quite interesting. i've worked with galleries before. various museums. and different types of events. i think anything can be art depending on how people perceive art. i'd like to see art enable people to more kind of express themselves and their ideas and i think ai will be powerful as a tool to spark imagination. >> all right. that's our time. thank you so much for watching. much more ahead of the next hour of cnn newsroom. fredricka whitfield is up next. the future is here.
