♪ ♪ ♪ >> hello, and welcome to all of you watching us, here in the united states, canada, and all around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on cnn newsroom -- russia claims ukraine is behind drone attacks on the kremlin.

what happens next and how will vladimir putin use this in the war? the alleged shooter of a hospital building here in atlanta is captured hours after he killed one woman and wounded four others. authorities are trying to figure out what set him off. and the special counsel investigating possible obstruction of justice charge against donald trump issues a flurry of subpoenas to some of trump's closest allies, including two men in charge of surveillance videos at mar-a-lago. >> live from cnn center, this is cnn newsroom we kim brunhuber. >> it is nine a.m. in kyiv, where authorities are reporting the most intense air attacks since the beginning of the year. military official says a ukrainian air defense intercepted all incoming russian missiles. it's likely retaliation for what russia claims is a pair of ukrainian drone strikes on the kremlin, an attempt to assassinate president vladimir putin. he was not at the building at the time.

and ukraine strongly denies any such involvement. a cnn analysis does support russia's claim that two drones flew above the kremlin early wednesday, but does not show evidence ukraine was behind this. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy, on a visit to finland, says ukraine does not have enough weapons to defend its own territory, let alone attack moscow. so, for more, cnn's clare sebastian is live in london. so, clare sebastian, bring us up to speed on what more we know one of the reaction to all of this. >> yeah, kim brunhuber, i think the key point at this stage is that kyiv, ukraine, is really on god for any retaliation. this is what moscow said in its original statement, announcing these alleged drone attacks, that it reserved the right to respond, and these overnight attacks on the country, including the capital kyiv, can perhaps be viewed in that context. the air force is now saying the 24-shot he'd drones were fired at -- ukraine was able to shoot down 18 of them, including all of them over the capital, kyiv, though an official in kyiv is

saying it's now been hit three times in the first four days of may, the greatest intensity, he said, since the beginning of the year. and we are hearing of debris from those drones that was shot down falling on some streets in kyiv. so, even though they were shot down, there is still some impact. also hearing of explosions over the night in odessa. we are getting some video in showing that as well. and under this threat of retaliation, clearly, president zelenskyy was at pains to distance ukraine as much as possible from these drone attacks. take a listen. >> we don't attack putin or moscow. we fight on our territory. we are defending our villages and cities. we don't have enough weapon for these. that's why we don't use it. and for us, that is the deficit. we can't spend it. and we didn't attack putin.

we leave it to tribunal. >> speaking of the tribunal, clearly a reference to the international criminal court, which, just under two months ago, indicted vladimir putin himself for war crimes, president zelenskyy, according to the dutch public broadcaster, is now in the netherlands, having wrapped up his trip to finland, where he you saw him speaking there, where he will, according to the dutch public broadcaster, make a speech in the hague today entitled, no justice, no peace without justice, rather, and will in fact visit the international criminal court, which is investigating those war crimes in ukraine -- under the couple of development to bring you up to speed with overnight, kim, the two separate oil facilities, according to local officials and state media in russia have been hit by a legit drone attacks. one in krasner, we just across from crimea -- one is in the rostov region, just across from ukraine's border in the north, with russia. that ukraine, of course, has not confirmed any involvement

in these, and they appear to have been relatively minor. but this is part of a spate of drone attacks and attacks on infrastructure, oil storage, trained realm, and things like that, across the board, in russia, that we have seen in the past week or so. >> all, right appreciate all the updates. that's clare sebastian in london. thanks so much. i want to go live now to canberra, australia. malcolm davis is a senior analyst at the australian institute strategic policy institute. thank you so much for being here with us, malcolm. you, like many, are skeptical that ukraine could be behind this. why is that? >> look, i think the likelihood that this is a false flag operation run by the russians is consistent with their form in the past -- attacks in the past against urban civilian targets, carried out by civilian forces to justify the use of force, and i think that president zelenskyy is right. the ukrainians have so much to

do in terms of defending their own country that they don't have the means to attack at that distance. certainly, the ukrainians have attacked inside russia. but it's a long way from where their attacks have gone to moscow. and i really don't think that this attack would have made much since militarily in terms of giving the russians exactly what they wanted, which is a justification to escalate the ukrainians and they are not that stupid. >> all right. but why would russia need a justification to escalate? they could just escalate on their own. >> certainly, they could. but i think what putin is thinking in terms of is using this as an opportunity to potentially declare war, potentially undertake a national mobilization, and that opens up all sorts of opportunities for the russians to bring in additional forces to also, more importantly, leverage upper aspects of russian industry, and society, to support the war effort. so that, in other words, if they are going from, with they

are calling a special military operation to an actual declared war, suddenly a whole set of new operations and rules and opportunities kick in for the russians that are not there at the moment that they can bring into bear. and i think that the russians are thinking very much in terms of what happens at the end of the upcoming ukrainian offensive, which is likely to go well, and what the russians want to be able to do is ultimately withstand that offensive and then come back stronger later this year or into 2024 to sustain the war -- because the russians want a prolonged war. they do not want, essentially, to see defeat staring them in the face. >> the u.s. is analyzing and assessing sort of who could be behind this. how did they go about finding out who is behind that drone attack? will the answer come out eventually? and i know russia has a history of producing false evidence as well. so, they will be working in parallel, i suppose. >> well, look. i think there are three

possibilities. and the most likely possibility is -- a false flag attack undertaken by the russian. russians. the second possibilities that this russian dissidents or -- within russia that our opposed to putin's war, and therefore, they're easing the sorts of capabilities to try and attack the seat of government. the third possibility is that it's ukrainians. but i think that third possibility is the least likely. so, i think what the u.s. and other allied governments will be doing is focusing very much on those first two possibilities. it will be using national technical means to assess the video, to monitor satellite surveillance in the area at the time, and use signals intelligence. and i would imagine that they will find, eventually, a reason why this attack happened -- >> we only have a minute left. but i want to go back to that second possibility that you raised, the possibility that it could be russian dissidents behind this. how likely is that? and if so, how worrying would

it be for the kremlin that they did not see this coming? >> i think it's a possibility. there have been an awful lot of explosions in oil storage facilities, train derailments, that sort of thing occurring inside russia recently, which could be the work of either ukrainian special forces. or it could have been saboteurs. i think that for the russian government, if it is, in fact, saboteurs as opposed to a false flag operation, that there would be a worry. because it does suggest that there is an active insurgency, or an active partisan group that are operating inside russia that are opposed to the russian war against ukraine. and i would imagine that the russian government within seek about trying to hunt them down and try to put an end to them. >> all right. really appreciate your analysis, as always. that's malcolm davis in canberra, australia. thanks so much. >> thank you. >> a suspect is in custody after a shooting at an atlanta medical facility left one woman

dead and four others wounded. the woman, who has been killed, has been identified as 38-year-old amy st-pierre, who worked at the u.s. and its four degrees disease control and prevention. police track 24-year-old deion patterson for 24 hours, close to this area, about 17 miles, when he was captured at a gated community condominium complex. cnn's nick valencia has the details of how the shooting unfolded. >> -- they all had shields and giant guns. >> another deadly mass shooting in america. this time during the lunch rush in midtown atlanta. >> in the middle of lunch i just started people saying, hey, we are on lockdown. there's an active shooter next door. -- >> at northside hospital medical. this couple was on the ninth floor at the time. >> my son was inside the procedure room. when we heard the popping and it was just really nothing until we see everyone locking doors and scurrying through the doctor's office.

and then they had the television on. and we saw the breaking news on the television -- they had mentioned it was that address. so, it was surprising that it was in the same building that we were. in >> at least one person is dead and four others wounded. the atlanta police department has identified 24-year-old deion patterson as a suspect in the shooting, releasing surveillance camera images of him wearing a hoodie and carrying a backpack. >> thanks to the highly trained police officers across our region, we are able to bring the suspect into custody without further harm. >> high-level source that atlanta police is telling cnn that the suspect and his mother worth hospital for medical appointment for patterson. at some point, he became agitated, and allegedly started shooting with a handgun before leaving the building, according to police. >> we believe he carjacked a vehicle a short distance away and was able to flee the scene as the law enforcement agencies were just descending on this area. >> we have learned the suspect is a former member of the coast

guard, and was discharged in january. >> this is a deadly situation. -- where he then exited on foot. and we were able to pick up on the camera network system is that he went to a shell aghast a shunt, where he commandeered a vehicle. the car was a pick up truck, which was left running. the >> suspect's mother is reportedly cooperating with police. atlanta police say all the gunshot victims are women. >> unfortunately, a 39-year-old female has lost her life. and of those that are injured, there is a 71-year-old female, a 56-year-old female, a 39 -year-old female, and then a 25-year-old female. >> the four injured victims were taken to grady hospital. three are in critical condition. one is in stable -- >> -- it is still too soon to know why these individuals were chosen. nick valencia, cnn, atlanta. >> it suspected gunman in last week's shooting in rural texas has been charged with five

counts of murder. prosecutors have charged the man, a mexican national, with five counts of murder. he's accused of shooting and killing five people, including a nine-year-old. at his neighbor's house on friday at three or they asked him to stop firing his gun in his yard -- longtime partner helped him evade police for days, giving him food and clothes enraging transport to the house where he was later captured. she is now facing a felony charge. and serbia is also trying to come to grips with a horrific mass shooting, a very rare occurrence in that country. and police say it was committed by a 13 year old boy who shot and killed nine people in his elementary school in belgrade on wednesday. a candlelight vigil was later held for the victims. officials say the suspect did not show any remorse after the attack. his motive is still under investigation. as fred pleitgen reports, police believe the shooting was planned well in advance. >> or were inside a school classroom, a scene all too familiar in the u.s..

but this is serbia's capital, belgrade. this is the deadliest mass shooting in the country in over a decade. moments after arriving, the prestigious vladislav -- elementary school, a 13 year old student took out his father's gun and shot the security guard before turning it on peoples, according to officials. >> translator: there was one girl at her desk, another at the piano. he took their lives. then he went out into the corridor into the history classroom. he went into the classroom and immediately shot the teacher and the students there from the door. >> according to eyewitnesses, the boy shot the female history teacher as terrified students hid under their desks. she was rushed to hospital, along with six injured children, according to cnn affiliate n1. the hospital director detailed severe brain injuries and gunshot wounds to the legs. the perpetrator was arrested in the school yard and led out in

handcuffs after he called police himself and told him what he did. >> translator: -- >> i asked, where is my kids, as one girl's father, describing the moment he realized she was in the history class. she escaped. but when he found her, she was in shock, he says. the crime had been planned for over a month, and the teen had drawn a sketch of the attacks that looked like something from a video game or a horror movie according to belgrade's police chief. locals told cnn the incident came out of nowhere. >> -- we only heard about this in the news from the united states. >> outside the school, these parents are the lucky ones. their children made it out alive. but a nation is now in mourning, and questions are asked over how this could have happened. fred pleitgen, cnn, belgrade. >> diana is now learning that special counsel jack smith is investigating the handling of

surveillance trump's mar-a-lago home home following subpoena last year. that, we are told, has prompted a new round of grandeur subpoenas. sources also tell us that two longtime trump organization executives are set to appear before the grand jury in the hours ahead. cnn's katelyn polantz has more details from washington. >> the special counsel jack smith, working for the justice department, investigating donald trump, has been busy in recent weeks just last week. he was personally sitting into witness some of the testimony of former vice president mike pence at a grand jury, looking at donald trump and the aftermath of the 2020 election for possible federal crimes. that is not a typical thing. there are many prosecutors that were for -- that are in and out of the grand jury out of the federal courthouse, almost daily. i don't believe anyone has ever spotted smith they are personally. and he was in the room for some of that pence testimony to witness it himself. just underlying how serious of

an investigation and how substantial a witness mike pence, the former vice president, was, bringing him under court order, under subpoena, to testify to that grand jury, potentially about his former boss, donald trump. and smith, like i said, has been very, very busy. he's busy in the coming days. we are learning it's not just relating to the january 6th inquiry, is he bringing in many, many witnesses. he's also having major allies of donald trump -- people from the trump organization, at its high levels, handling security, the chief operating officer -- are set to testify to the federal grand jury in washington on thursday. those men, their names are matthew calamari sr. and matthew calamari, jr.. their father and son. they are the people believed to be responsible for the handling of surveillance tapes at the trump organization and they are of interest right now, we know, because the justice department, jack smith and his investigators, they are

questioning them and others about the handling of surveillance footage by the justice department wanted to obtain last year. he would ultimately was turned over and showed employees of donald trump moving boxes in mar-a-lago at the resort out of a storage room. but now the handling of that surveillance tape itself, when it was requested by the justice department, has become an area of inquiry into a possible obstruction case as well related to smith and his many inquiries on that side, the mar-a-lago documents case. katelyn polantz, cnn, washington. >> fierce fighting is continuing in sudan, and a fragile cease-fire appears to have ended even before it properly started. we'll look at what students paramilitary forces are claiming next. stay with us.

100,000 people have left the country, at least three times that many are stuck within the country displaced. the head of the humanitarian response, the u.n. undersecretary general martin griffiths, was in port sudan. there's a need for everything, he says. food, water, medical supplies -- and the need is very urgent, to get to civilians in sudan. but he said, what is critical is that there are assurances of security for both their staff and for those -- >> we will still require agreements and arrangements to allow for a movement of staff and supplies. we will need to have agreements at the highest level, and very publicly, and we will -- deliver those commitments into local arrangements that the -- depended on. >> to illustrate his point, he said six trucks of the world food program were looted on their way into darfur. and darfur has had some of the most chaotic scenes, eye witnesses saying that there have been repeated clashes in

to quickly withdraw their uninsured deposits. pacwest or pointed last week that customers had stopped withdrawing their money in that more than 70% of its deposits are insured. but despite the bank sectors what was, the u.s. federal reserve had just hiked its federal benchmark rate by quarters of a percentage point. that's the tenth consecutive race. it's now at five, to five and a quarter percent. the fed chair has suggested the rate hikes might take a breather for a while now. -- rattled all three major indices on the, doubtless than 1%. let's turn now to ryan patel, from los angeles. he's a senior fellow at claremont graduate university's drucker school of management. thanks again for being with us. so, ryan, i wanted to quote something here. moody's analytics chief economist told cnn, quote, it's a mistake to raise west rates. they are taking a risk that's not necessary. is he right? is it a mistake?

>> well, not according to the fed chairman. i think they have kind of, at this point -- they feel like 25 basis points is not much. if we had the guarantee, which we don't -- but the market is why -- what you saw today is that the markets have priced in the rate hikes we are going to have in the second half of 2023. and so what jerome powell stated in and i think is laying it out, although he's not firm on it -- they will be no more cuts, there will be a pause. so that this -- last 25 basis points that they feel like the data is still slowing up and should not really drastically change much, kim, unless we see some other variables. so, i don't think -- you know, at this point, they've already done it ten times in a row. and actually, 25 basis points, i don't think, tips us over, unless there's some other variables. but i think the -- conversation can provide some ease in this conversation moving forward. >> yeah. and then the other big story --

another day, another regional bank, and trouble, when we talked a few days ago, when we a few days ago, you and i, first republic, and then pacwest -- seamen evidence. these two stories, the rate hikes in the health of the mid sized banks, as i -- they are kind of related. so, explain how the rate hikes are causing more stress on the smaller banks. >> yeah, i mean, i think at the end of the day, when you think about -- i think when you think of -- those two words that came up. credit tightening. when you have less lending, to make more loans, it causes banks to not have that cash to be able to allow those loans, and they have to deposit. so, that does go back to the interest rate. that does. and it's another part of why these banks are failing. so, with so many depositors withdrawing their money from the mid sized and regional banks, they just have less to land. and i think that provides a problem in this -- case that the fed is looking at. and they don't want this. this is not something that the regional bank wanted.

even jerome powell actually thought that jp morgan -- he was an exception that -- first republic, he would have rather seen a regional bank get that. so, we have all these aspects. that's interesting. even pacwest -- you know, from their market cap, roughly, is down 72% this year. so, it's not like this happened overnight. it keeps taking hit over hit. and when these reports come out, it just continues to see the decline, i think, in the first quarter, of deposits, a five billion dollars in the first quarter. so, it's just interesting to see. >> yeah. and then adding to all of the uncertainty -- i mean, the debt ceiling fight -- how nervous is that making everybody as we are sort of coming closer and closer to that deadline? >> so, you and i have talked about this. i am nervous. but when it's jerome powell who goes and addresses it -- i don't want to say he please. but if he has to address it to see how bad this would come,

that is scary. because he has more information than any of us as to how it's going. and when he is coming out to the public and stating this -- yeah, again, i'm just being realistic. that makes me nervous when you have officials looking at each other and going, hey, we can't have this. and this would have an effect, kim, on how they look at the june mark, the june meeting. and again, he put it back on the table, that there may be another -- layer, year on year, which we haven't really -- i think he's leaving his options opened. he was kind of optimistic, though, kim, about -- optimistic -- the most optimistic, i think, i've seen him break down his interviews. >> all right. before we go, i have a minute left. but i want to tell you a bit of a curveball here. so, president biden's campaign, it's leaning into an economic message with this the second tv ad sort of released in his campaign. they are talking about his economic sexes based on all of the things that they are touting, i guess. so, based on just the economic

factors alone, if you were a political operative, would you be more confident if you were part of the democratic ad team or a member of the republican rapid response team that is going to put out an economic tack ahead? >> i'm laughing because they are both at odds with each other. i don't even know what -- to flee, because both sides will say one and the other. but i will be very honest with you, kim. if they can come together on the debt ceiling, that they can run together as a campaign and move together america forward. >> nicely stepped around that. appreciate that -- ryan patel, it's always good to talk to you. >> thanks. >> we will be right back. here. aspercreme arthritis. full prescription-strength? reduces inflammamation? thank the gods. don't thank them too soon. kick pain in the aspercreme. when i was diagnosed with h-i-v, i didn't know who i would be.
