12:00 am
welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and all around the world.
12:01 am
i'm kim brunhuber. serious doubts about russia's claims that an attack on the kremlin was an assassination attack on vladimir putin by ukr ukraine. a man who conducted a deadly shooting in tlant is a is captured. authorities in serbia have similar questions. they want to know why a 13-year-old went on a deadly shooting at a school. russia calls it an assassination attempt on president vladimir putin. ukrainian leaders insist they had nothing to do with it. video shows two drones flying inside the kremlin walls on wednesday. you can see one of them exp exploding just above the kremlin roof there. two drones flew by the kremlin
12:02 am
but doesn't show ukraine was behind this. he thinks that russian partisans are trying to discredit putin. cnn's chief international correspondent nick paton walsh reports. >> reporter: it's on the edges of imagination. but the kremlin insists it's real. an apparent drone flies into the kremlin and detonates right on its dome, captured on many cameras, a truly seismic allegation. russia saying ukraine sent two drones to kill president vladimir putin but he wasn't home. as the smoke rose, these videos played out globally, and the only slim evidence of the cr kremlin's claim. it carries risk for the kremlin, ahead of the victory day parade next week. they claimed such a breach happened.
12:03 am
and there will be calls for the battered military, to find a way they escalate. ukrainian president zelensky on a trip to finland issued a flat denial. >> we don't attack putin or moscow. we are defending our villages and cities. we don't have enough weapon for this. >> reporter: the u.s. is not convinced. >> i would take anything coming out of the kremlin with a very large shaker of salt. >> reporter: fear of russian reprisals rising again in ukraine, where bombings do happen, every day and night. over a dozen dead this day in a recently liberated kherson. tension mounting here ahead of an expected ukrainian counteroffensive. from friday, there's a 58-hour curfew, nobody comes out of
12:04 am
their homes. in zaporizhzhya our night was shaken by sirens and blasts. here is where they hit, homes. the first missile landing outside and leaving enough time for families to jump into the bath or shelter their children before the second left this hole. you know, we were in such stress, she says. it was only when people asked us if we were okay that we realized we were alive. like in the kremlin, nobody killed or injured here, either. but lives destroyed and no doubt who was behind it. nick paton walsh, cnn, zaporizhzhya, ukraine. claire sebastian is following from london. russia vowed to retaliate for that drone attack. it appears the retaliation has begun. >> this is a vengeful war that
12:05 am
russia is fighting. we've seen this throughout the conflict and linking russia and crimea, unleashing attacks on ukraine's energy infrastructure. and this morning, we're hearing of overnight attacks on kyiv and odessa. 24 drones were fired at the country, in which 18, they say, were shot down. they did -- the ukrainian military in the south of the country have published a couple images of drones they say were among those shot down. they have some writing on them. i think we can pull up the images for you. one says for the kremlin, using the latin z, which is symbolic of russia's war. and one says for moscow. signifying this was a revenge for the drone attacks on the kremlin. this is something that is hard to distinguish from the regular
12:06 am
attacks on ukraine. the head of the kyiv military says the capital has been attacked three of the four days, which has increased a great bit for the year. and zelensky is set to make a speech in the hague entitled no peace without justice. and to visit the international criminal court itself, which barely two months ago indicted president putin of war crimes, continues to investigate the war crimes in ukraine. he has distanced ukraine from the attacks on the kremlin. >> claire sebastian in london. i spoke with malcolm davis, a senior analyst at the policy institute and asked him why he was skeptical ukraine was behind the drone attack on the kremlin. >> the ukrainians have so much
12:07 am
to do in defending their own country, they don't have the means to attack at that distance. certainly, the ukrainians have attacked inside russia. it's a long way from where their attacks have gone to moscow. i don't think this attack would have made much sense militarily, giving the russians what they wanted, which is a justification to escalate. the ukrainians are not that stupid. >> why would russia need a justification to escalate? they can escalate on their own. >> certainly, they could. putin is using this as an opportunity to potentially declare war, undertake a national mobilization. that opens up opportunities for the russians to bring in additional forces to also more importantly leverage russian aspects to support the war effort. in other words, if they're going from what they are calling a special military operation to an
12:08 am
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 to bear. and i think the russians are thinking very much in terms of what happens in the upcoming ukrainian offensive, which is likely to go well. what is russians want to do is ultimately withstand that offensive and come back stronger later this year or in 2024, to sustain the war because the russians want a prolonged war. they do not want to see defeat staring them in the face. israel says it has killed two gunmen suspected in a deadly attack on a israeli mother. a third military accused of aiding the gunman was killed, as well in a west bank city. benjamin netanyahu condemned the attack on the mother and girls.
12:09 am
the funeral was atended by thousands. elliott, what more can you tell us about this? >> reporter: we started to get reports of the morniiing raid b the security forces. we received statements from the idf in the last few minutes, telling us they raided the home, the apartment, where the two suspected palestinian gunman were hiding out. that they came under fire. there was an exchange of fire rutting in the deaths of those two gunmen, as well as the senior operative. this is what went on this morning and that's been confirmed the three deaths by the palestinian health ministry, as well. in a statement, the widower and the father of the three girls. he sent us an audio statement in which he said that they were
12:10 am
delighted -- i and the kids were delighted to hear that the terrorists were eliminated today. most of all it was done in a way that did not endanger the lives of israeli soldiers. the israeli defense minister tweeted that, just as i promised, israel's defense establishment will reach any terrorist that harms our citizens. and the killing of the gunman, the suspected gunman, who killed comes in the wake of tensions between israel and the palestinians that remain high. you recall after an islamic jihad military, a spokesman for that militant died from a hunger strike. there were more than 100 rockets fired towards israel. israel retaliated. things are calm there right now. it seems that perhaps, you know,
12:11 am
tensions remain high. we expect a comment of the killing of the palestinian gunman who kill ed the israelis later today. this will be seen as a major achievement and victory, if you like the part of israel, that they have kept their word and they have taken out the people they accused of -- they say killed the british israeli mother and two of her daughters. >> appreciate the update. thanks so much. a suspect is in custody after a shooting at an atlanta medical facility left one woman dead and four others dion patterson opened fire with a handgun. he fled on foot and stole a vehicle nearby. the woman killed was amy
12:12 am
st. pierre, who worked at the centers for disease and prevention. the cdc expressed condolences for family and friends. the shooting has re-ignited the discussion on gun violence in the u.s. rafael warnock had to say. >> what are the traumatic effects of telling our children we can't protect you and the best we can do is tell you to hide. we are a nation living in fear. some seem to think that this is the price that we have to pay for freedom. i reject that. it's a strange kind of freedom that causes our children to have to go on lockdown any random day of the week. >> cnn's gary tuchman explains how the suspect was tracked down. >> reporter: for nearly eight hours he was on the loose. but d deion patterson was captud
12:13 am
11 miles northwest of where the shootings took place. right here, at a gated community, a condominium called waterford place. we saw police cars speeding down the street and entering inside there. we heard all day that the belief was he was in the suburban cobb county. 15 minutes after police entered, we talked to an officer who came out that confirmed to us that deion patterson was captured. we talked to neighbors inside this community. people had been saying that it was possible that he was here in cobb county. cameras picked up the license plate on a car he allegedly carjacked. it indicated that the car he abandoned was only two blocks away from here. police were searching this whole area. they went inside. according to the women who live there, we just talked to a short time ago, they told us they heard dogs barking and they
12:14 am
weren't stopping barking. they knew this man might be in cobb county. one woman said we have a pool and gazebo area. we have the dogs barking there. the next thing the ladies tell us, is the police yelled get on the ground and they realized this man had been caught. and now, he is in custody. this is gary tuchman, cnn, in cobb county, georgia. u.s. federal reserve raises a key interest rate again. it's the tenth-consecutive time. this may be the last one for a while. also, ahead, potentially good news for the fight against alzheimer's disease. a new medication could low early stages of the illness. stay with us. ststay twice ant a $50 gift card when you book direrect at choicehotels.com. my name is w wendy, i'm 51 years old, and i'm a hospital administrator. when i talk to patients you can just see from here up

12:29 am
hours ahead. >> reporter: the special counsel jack smith workinging if the justice department investigating donald trump, has been busy in recent weeks. just last week, he was personally sitting in to witness some of the testimony of former vice president mike pence at a grand jury looking at donald trump in the aftermath for possible federal crimes. that's not a typical thing. there's many prosecutors that work for smith that are in and out of the grand jury, out of the federal courthouse almost daily. i don't believe anyone has spotted smith there personally. an he was in the room for some of that pence testimony to witness it himself. just underlining how serious of an investigation, how substantial a witness mike pence, the former vice president was, bringing him in under court order, under subpoena, to testify to that grand jury. potentially about his former boss, donald trump.
12:30 am
smith has been very, very busy. not just in connection to the january 6th inquiry, he's having major allies of donald trump, people from the trump organization at its high levels, handling security. the chief operating officer is set to testify on thursday. those men, their names are matthew calamari senior and matthew calamari jr., father and son, they are the people that would be responsible for the handling of surveillance tapes by the trump organization. they are of interest right now because we know because the justice department, jack smith and investigators are questioning them and others about the handling of su surveillance footage. it was turned over and showed employees of donald trump moving boxes in mar-a-lago out of a storage room. now, the handling of that

for mortgage, credit card or automobile loan. the u.s. federal reserve has hiked its benchmark interest rate by a quarter percentage point, its tenth-consecutive raise. it's now to 5.25%. the rate hikes might take a breather to see if inflation eases on its own. that uncertainty rattled wall street. all three major indices are down. more on the rate hike and what it means. >> reporter: the u.s. federal reserve hiking interest rates again wednesday, against a backdrop of fresh tremors in the banking sector and unresolved crisis. they raised rates by one quarter of a trpercentage point, makingt the tenth rate increase in a row. this brings the benchmark interest rate to 5.25%, a level not seen in 15 years. when the fed raises rates, it
12:33 am
makes it more expensive for banks to borrow, which makes it more expensive for consumers to borrow. think of anything with an interest rate that's not locked in. auto loans, credit cards. the idea is when borrowing costs up go up, it will curb demand and bring higher prices. it can take a year to show up in the economy. meaning most of the effects are in the pipeline. that's one reason there's a growing chorus of voices, including economists and lawmakers to pause with the rate hikes. another reason, banking stress. earlier this week, we witnessed the second-largest bank failure in history, with first republic. that said, it runs hotter than the target. in the press conference, j.

powell said this. >> the effects of this remains uncertain. in light of the uncertain headwinds, along with monetary policy in place, our future actions will unfold. >> reporter: we'll get a look at the state of the u.s. economy and the labor market with the april jobs report. recent data points to a strong but cooling labor market. drugmaker eli lilly claims an alzheimer drug can slow the disease by a third if used in the early stages. the medication works by removing a buildup of plaque in the brain. half of the people that took it showed no decline on the key measure of brain condition. it reports to 700 patients died

so, how similar can two songs be before it's considered copyright infringement. that's what a jury has to decide in the high-profile case against ed sheeran. he is accused of copying "let's get it on" by marvin gaye for his own single. we want to play both of them for you so you can hear for yourself. ♪ darling i will be loving you until we're 70 ♪ ♪ let's get it on let's get it on ♪ >> the plaintiffs have alleged similarities about chord progressions and similarities. sheeran's team argues that they
12:41 am
are different. the jury deliberations in the case are set to resume in the comieing hours. i'm joined by a senior lecturer and associate dean. thank you for being here with us. it's an interesting story. sheeran sem demonstrated in cou the similarities to other pop songs, lie van morrison, and nina simone. sounding similar is one thing. but do you believe he is guilty of copyright infringement. >> lots of songs, pop songs, they have similar. we have common place elements that are the building blocks of making a song. and copyright is not supposed to protect those things. it allows people to build from the blocks. if we think about that, the parts that are similar in the songs are the building block parts and it shouldn't be
12:42 am
copyright infringement. we played the two snippets and it was remarkable how much it sounded alike. is that really allowed to have two songs that just sound so similar in blocks like that? >> it depends on how you compare the different songs. both sides have musicology reports. and ed sheeran says they're not that similar. on the townsend side, it has all of the similarities. and i think that, it's easy to say, these two songs sound the same. you have to break it down and say, which parts of the song are the same? it's a full chord progression. >> i don't know. they sound a lot alike. we've seen an uptick in these kinds of lawsuits since the "blurred lines" victory, when
12:43 am
they won some $5 million plus future royalties. that outcome shocked many experts. can you explain what that jury found and how the sheeran case stacks up to that one? >> ten years ago, there was a case brought by marvin gaye's estate. they were successful in finding it was infringement. most of it was based around the feel and the vibe of the song and some background noise, rather than what we would consider in copyright as really protectable elements. this is a floodgates case. we saw loads of cases come in america and the u.k., as well. we felt that opened up the door for more cases like this. there's three cases.
12:44 am
he's been part of that impact of the "blurred lines" case. there were other cases where we thought they were bringing it back into a balance. then, this case has been going on since 2017. it is still in the impact era of the "blurred lines" case. >> i'm wondering about that. you referenced that sheeran faced problems before. we had many others that had to deal with this. do you think that modern music has a sampling problem? or does this go back to a long line of mostly white artists, i guess, having this long history of being accused of ripping off r&b greats?
12:45 am
>> absolutely. there's a context of racialized, cultural appropriation. that's a context that exists. but also, there's a fine balance between what is taking inspiration and what is copying. and that's what copyright tries to do. whether it does it right, i don't necessarily agree. >> a thorny question. sheeran says if he loses this case, he is quitting the music business. what kind of precedent do you think this verdict would set, especially if it goes against him. >> there's a big concern. people are worried about overprotecting copyright. and now, he records all of his
12:46 am
writing sessions. that's not -- copyright is not supposed to do that. there is a fear that if it's found to be infringement, song writers will be concerned about whether he accidentally copied or something sounds like something else. i don't think that's very useful. it might be considered another "blurred lines" situation where we see another influx of cases where it is found, if it is found to be infringement. >> we'll see. the jury resumes deliberation today. still ahead, demands for justice in india. top female wrestlers are training on the streets. protesting alleged sexual harassment at the highest levels of their sport. that's coming up. stay with us.
