1:06 am
between the rapided forced and the sudanese forces have quickly fallen apart. despite every international effort to try to get the two warring generals to agree to it it doesn't look like it's going to happen, that is why so many people are leaving the country. larry madowo, cnn, port sudan. >> evacuations are life altering upheavals for people fleeing sudan. some felt abandoned not knowing if the help from the u.s. government was ever going to come saturday. speaking with a woman who's sudanese parents were trapped by the conflict before he made it to saudi arabia. here she is. >> reporter: they left by themselves. we arranged for a way for them to get out. they hopped on a bus to port sudan after almost two weeks of barely no communication whatsoever from the united government. we've emailed, we've called. we've written to the white
1:07 am
house, we've begged and pleaded to assist my parents who are both 66 and 69 years ago old who were on a visit to sudan. three days in, the fighting broke out and there was no way to get them out. they basically hopped on a bus to port sudan, took them around 12 hours, my father was held up by gunpoint by the rsf on the way there. it was a very difficult, emotional traumatizing journey and the u.s. government did not help at all. once they reached port sudan, they still have to go through a lot of trouble, in order to get on the ships. thankfully, the saudis were very gracious and were assisting american citizens. the to get aboard the ships to jeddah, but at no time during his share rowing process and journeys, two weeks, were my parents ever comforted or contacteded by anybody from the u.s. government or assisted in any way shape or form.

1:09 am
group moving towards the western part of the sudan towards the capital presumably to reinforce the forces already there. according to the military, they have managed to destroy several of those columns coming in. but it did speak to the danger of it, even further escalating conflict that really is looking very much like a civil war at this point, as we have more than two weeks of this fighting now. there has been a substantial number of foreign citizens evacuated out of the country. of course, thousands of them. it must be said that the u.s. government in the last 24 hours assisted a number of people getting to port sudan by bus. they will then be evacuated presumably through saudi arabia. but for those sudanese fleeing the country, it's really been a very rapid decescent of their country and they speak about the conditions they went through. >> situation is very bad. we didn't expect it, fighting,
1:10 am
we find saturday, it all broke, and from that day, it was fire on the street. fire in the houses. in the cars. and after two, three days from that, the rsf, they start have shortage of food, water and power. so, they start to invade homes. >> reporter: just this morning, south africans that have been evacuated by the combination of government services, the foreign office equivalent, and a very well-known charity, have been landing here in johannesburg, certainly, relief for their families and loved ones, like there is relief all over the world, of those returning from khartoum and from the rest of sudan. but, of course, many millions of people are still facing the very scary prospect of an extended conflict. kim. >> absolutely. thanks so much, david mckenzie

satellite images of what russia is doing to prepare. they've been preparing as well for about six months. that means building up defenses, of course, near the front lines, putting in anti-tank obstacles. mine fields, trenches for troops pouring in from moscow. regards of the ingenuity, the motivation, they're absolutely facing at least quantitatively, a military forefrom russia one that had the air superiority. for kyiv, they cannot get this wrong, kim. they say, yes, preparations are coming to a close but it doesn't mean they're ready just yet. >> all right, salma abdelaziz in london, thanks so much. the president of the czech republic sent a blunt message to moscow during his visit to ukraine. on a ukrainian military vehicle in dnipro, he wrote, russia go home. he said the abouyaaqoubian people will avenge what they

health restrictions on u.s. industry. that means that border officials will no longer be able to expel migrants. the border city is urging an emergency after migrant influx. >> i want to say the first two weeks of april we were averaging 1,700 venezuelan nationals entering illegally in the country, through that particular area of brownsville. and then two weeks later, towards the end herer the last eight days we saw an uptick of over 15,000 venezuelans. >> the biden administration has been racing to set up new policies to stem the flow of migration. but even with those put in place, officials recognize it may not be enough. cnn's police siriscilla alvarez. a homeland security official tells me as of saturday morning there were 10,000 in custody at
1:32 am
the border. that is overcapacity. while the numbers fluctuate and is an indicator that there is an inpflux of migrants. that's when title 82 a covid border restriction will end. that restriction has allowed authorities to quickly expel migrants at the u.s./mexico border. they will no longer be able to did that after the may 11 date. that means the administration will go back to decades-old protocols. administration officials have been putting preparations in motion. that includes, for example, setting up regional processing centers so that migrants on their way and the border can apply to come to the u.s., legally, doing the same thing for other programs with other nationalities so they don't have to come to the u.s./mexico border and can apply to come from where they are. they're also reminding migrants they will restore legal consequences when this title 52
1:33 am
restriction ends. this is an issue that is political vulnerability for president biden and has opened him up for criticism from republicans and democrats. and trying to move that migration ahead of that may 11 dated with all of that in place, homeland security second alejandro mayorkas anticipates that the next two weeks will be challenging and smugglers are prone to spawning misinformation. meanwhile, haitian migrants arriving in boston has been sleeping overnight at one of the city's major hospitals. about 55 people, mostly from haiti sent the night in the lobby of the boston medical center. the number of immigrants have stretched resources. so far, the hospital has sheltered 400 families, mostly from haiti, for overnight stays. in the next hour, i'll speak with two front line workers who are supporting migrants in the crisis. we'll hear about the impact it's
1:34 am
having on young time and unaccompanied minors. for more than three years since the start of the coronavirus pandemic, the world health organization watching a fast-growing subvariant. the w.h.o. says it seems to be spreading faster than previous variants and escaped immunity but doesn't appear to cause severe illness. last week, it accounted for an estimated 10% of covid cases in the united states. joining me now is anne rimoin, a professor at the department of epidemiology in ucla's field of public health. thank you for being with us. first, what do we know about that new variant. how worried should we be? >> well, this new warranty is going to be a little bit more transmissible. these variants seem to be more and more transmissible but what we're not seeing is a difficulty in severity of disease. we've seen a bump in
1:35 am
hospitalizations in places like india and indonesia, where the virus is spreading very quickly and the most dominant. but in general, we're not seeing more severe disease, so i'm not particularly worried about this variant. we're going to expect to see variants continue to emerge over time. we just need to keep an eye on them. >> all of this as the u.s. is dropping more of the protections that started at the pandemic. we're now switching to tracking covid the way it tracks the flu, for instance. is it time, do you think? or are we losing too much protection and too much early surveillance? >> i think it's important to continue to do surveillance. and our surveillance system has never been optimal, even for influenza, relatively thank you for other pathogens. i do think we need to be investing more for disease surveillance, like the p
1:36 am
pathogens. it's much easier to stay out of trouble than to get in trouble. in that sense, investing in good disease surveillance and keeping an eye on it is going to be really important. >> yeah. those are some the lessons we learned. and at this week, there's been a fairly scathing report looking at the u.s. response to covid, in the last couple years, saying it was divided, disorganized. do you agree? >> i do, i think that his pandemic has laid bare all of the weaknesses of our public health system, of our surveillance system, and the critical need to do better. now is the time to get in front of disease surveillance, being prerdness, all of these things. you know, this is not the last pandemic that we will experience in our lifetime, most likely. and there will be other outbreaks and epidemics and
1:37 am
investment in a strong surveillance system is going to be critical. >> one of the lessons may be around the way we handled schools. i mean, there's been plenty of focus around that, during this last week, especially. the head of the teachers union testified before congress about this. so, knowing what we know, do you think closing so many schools for so long, was that a mistake? >> well, i think that it's hard to say whether or not it was a mistake. i think, you know, we knew what we knew about the virus at the time. we made decisions that we made, based on the lack of knowledge about the virus. lack of access to vaccines. you know, really trying to protect the most vulnerable and the population. my guess is that the next time that we encounter a respiratory pathogen that's going to spread quickly, we'll make different decisions, based on what we've learned during this pandemic. >> all right. thank you so much for being with us, anne rimoin, really
1:38 am
appreciate your insights on this. >> my pleasure. a pilot program that used trained dogs to detect covid infections at 27 california schools showed promise. though a year later there's talk about training the dogs to detect other diseases. bekaa howard has the story. it was just last year when california public health officials used training dogs. two yellow labs, scarlet and rizzo were trained to detect compounds associated with covid-19 infections. and then they were spent to 26 schools where the dogs lined up and sniffed their ankles and feet. the dogs were trained to sit when they detected the compounds associated with covid. then the person that the dog sat next to would complete a naval
1:39 am
swab covid test. the dogs accurately detected 85 infections, resulting in an overall accuracy of 90%. the dogs missed 18 infections. and the researchers say that the dogs do not necessarily replace naval swab testing. instead, they can help indicate which person might need a test and which person doesn't. and that can help save on time and resources. the researchers think the dogs can be trained to detect other types of diseases too. here's carol edwards, executive director of the early canines, she works with the dogs. have a listen. >> we talked about tb, we talked about flu, a and b, possibly for the next flu season, see if we can get the dogs to alert on that. it's just about being able to figure out how to collect samples, how to train dogs and to be safe and effective around those diseases, too. >> and the researchers say
