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." after days of violence, israel and the islamic jihad agree to a cease-fire. we'll go live to see if the peace is holding. plus, the latest from the u.s.-mexican border and the latest fallout from trying to house migrants in cities. a hug 42 years in the making. he reunites with his sister after he discovers he was stolen as a baby. >> reporter: live from cnn news center, this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brunhuber. it's 5 a.m. here in atlanta, noon in israel where a cease-fire with islamic jihad appears to be holding.

palestinians celebrated the cease-fire. many are skeptical it will hold. at least 35 people were killed. listen to what one person has to say. >> translator: the truce is good. we want truce built on a good basis. there is a truce and then after a month there are people who die. we want a truce based on a good basis. >> the idf says its operation in gaza killed 6 islamic commanders and this strike on the alleged home of one commander came shortly before the cease-fire took effect. journalist elliott gotkin joins us from jerusalem. two border crossings into the gaza strip reopened? >> reporter: that's right, kim. we are inching back towards the

way things were. crossings have reopened partially to and from the gaza strip and fuel trucks have been able to go in and replenishing their power stations. fishing is reopening gradually. for now the cease-fire is holding. it was a bit touch and go earlier. militants continued to fire rockets for an hour more and israeli airstrikes took place up until midnight. for the past 12 hours things are quiet for the people of gaza and the israeli communities in the areas surrounding the gaza strip that have been in lockdown and in bomb shelters. more than 1200 rockets fired by militants towards israel.

they struck 370 targets. there were two skilkilled insid israel as well. israel said quiet will be met with quiet. if israel attacks and threatens, it will do everything it needs to revolt. there will not be another flare-up at some point in time. they're under no illusions. the cease-fire that was broken by egypt which was thanked by the islamic jihad. the cease-fire is holding and this week has a flag march through jerusalem. israelis celebrated the reunification of jerusalem and which has a tendency to result in violence and has, indeed,

spilled over into flare-ups. we're watching very carefully to see what happens this coming thursday. >> we'll keep monitoring that. thanks so much. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy is in germany meeting with schultz. he's making the first trip to germany after russia invaded his country. they announced a batch of aid worth $3 billion. fred pleitgen is joining us. an important symbol of solidarity. take us through what's happening and what you're expecting to come out of this. >> reporter: hi there, kim. you're right. very important symbol for both countries, for the germans and the ukrainians as well. for the germans, because at the beginning of russia's full-on

invasion of ukraine they were seen as one of the countries putting brakes on military aid towards ukraine. a lot of people felt that, including that olaf schultz was moving too slow. us seeing that aid package is something that is of huge signi significance. talking about 2.7 billion euros. that's $3 billion in equipment and some of that is extremely important and moderate. the main battle tanks, fighting vehicles. some of the most modern h howitzers in the rorld. you can see the country has come a long way from being one of those being a little bit subdued to one that is on the forefront. the ukrainians themselves are

providing military aid. on top of that germany is one of the countries at least in europe that produces the most military equipment that the ukrainians really need. for volodymyr zelenskyy to have that and know there is going to be a big military aid package coming is of huge importance to them. there is another element. we're waiting, kim, in the next couple of minutes, we expect a press conference from volodymyr zelenskyy and olaf schultz. the second part is important as well when they will be awarded the sharlamayne prize. the reason is ukraine is defending the values of europe, not just its own values but that of the european union. one of the things the ukrainians have been wanting and have been eyeing is membership in the

european union. receiving that will be important. it might be symbolic but it is europe acknowledging that they believe the ukrainians are defending the values of a united europe, kim. president zelenskyy is indicating ukraine will take the first important steps in the ukrainian offensive. this is video of a drone strike in the western part of the country on saturday which left 21 people injured. another killed two people and left ten injured. selma abdelaziz joins us. walk us through the visit. >> reporter: consider this for president zelenskyy, a trip for

war and peace. you heard from our colleague fred about the defensive part of this trip, the diplomatic part where he's pushing for more weapons and support. he got a lot of that support in italy as well. the prime minister there vowing unwavering help from italy even promising, and as you heard from fred there, the importance of the symbolism in his bid to join nato, eu, rome as well emphasizing it stands by president zelenskyy. the prime minister vowing to do anything she can to continue to push and support ukraine's nato membership as quickly as it can come. you asked specifically, kim, about the visit with pope francis. pope francis has been focused on the humanitarian aspect of this conflict. he has been carrying out constant prayers for ukraine. pope francis has been trying to

get involved, if you will, in a peace process trying to pose himself as a mediator. it's to be seen how much that will take off the ground, if you will, but yet again pope francis there trying to reach out to president zelenskyy saying he wants to be one of those mediators on the ground emphasizing the need for humanitarian aid and the defensive aid needed on the front lines. all of this happening, kim, against the backdrop of the war, still very much continuing on the ground in ukraine. you mentioned some 21 drones fired by russia against ukraine. 17 of them intercepted. several of them hitting in a town and a city, rather, between lviv and kyiv. in the west of the country in an area considered safe where several people were injured. infrastructure was damaged as well. so president zelenskyy very much in europe with this backdrop, a reminder of what's happening on the ground. of course, you have the expected counter offensive. that's very much why he's there

in europe, to get europe's support. to get europe's help as it makes this major push. ukrainian forces make this major push coming in the expected days and weeks against the russian front lines. >> selma abdelaziz, thank you so much. president joe biden was cautious but up beat on saturday about congress finally raising the debt ceiling so the u.s. doesn't default on its obligations. that involves big things like social security and medicare. it's a long list and the u.s. has never filed pay what it owes. so far they have refused to budge on the spending demands even as the risk of catastrophic default goes on daily. they're racing to hammer out an agreement before it's too late. here's how the president described those talks on saturday. >> i think we're moving along. it's hard to tell.

we've not reached the crunch point. we're not there yet. >> it's been two days since title 42 expired in the united states. just ahead, we'll take you to the southern borders and a cyclone coming ashore in northeast asia. millions of people bracing for the worst. coming up, details on the path of the storm. stay with us. ♪ and this is how mom shines. at zalales, the diamond d store.

their shelters, the refugees are living in shelters made of bamboo and tarps. the material cannot withstand heavy or intense winds or the rains we are expecting to see. the shelters are in low lying areas which means they are likely to be inundated if we get heavy rains. we are terribly worried about what might happen if the storm and the cyclone picks up on this side of the border. the government has been excellent in preparing the refugees and working with us in setting up contingency plans. we have got heavy machinery on stand by. we have got contingency stops. the program has ready meals for refugees if need be. let's get more on the forecast from cnn meteorologist britley ritz. take us through what we're expecting. how bad will this be? >> well, thankfully, kim, the system itself has made landfall as of 12:45 local time.

as it kicked the land, the friction has pulled apart part of it. slowly weakening but a massive system nonetheless as it pushes inland. winds are still very, very strong. 305 kilometers per hour as it's picked up speed moving northeast at 26 kilometers per hour. the whole system moving on to warm water. that to a degree, a degree and a half celsius warmer than what it typically should be. that was the fuel for the system. now hitting the land falling apart. also, some dryer air moving across pakistan, india and into the center of the storm helping to dilute it. all of the deep blue, that's the moisture that kicked in in the warm ocean water. as it pushes inland, the friction of the land in the next 24 to 36 hours weakens the system. regardless, strong winds still a problem. the strongest have moved through this morning as that wall -- eye wall pushed on shore still

holding on to extreme wind gusts this morning, in the afternoon and the winds will weaken as we move into monday and tuesday. heavy rain also another big problem. we've been dealing with it already with the outer bands and now that eye wall coming on to shore. this heavy rain is an ongoing situation through sunday night and into monday. finally starting to weaken a bit by tuesday. scattered showers but showers nonetheless on an already saturated grounds. torrential downpour, that's we can expect with this rain. you'll notice the red, the deep red, that's about 150 millimeters of rain within the next five days. isolated higher amounts are a possibility as well. nearly about 250 millimeters over the next five days' time. keep this in mind, too. notice the cone. it's well outside of that cone range. we are already feeling the effects widespread stretching all the way back up into bangladesh and parts of india. >> we'll stay on top of this. the britley ritz, thank you so

much. meanwhile, here in the u. s-1 person was killed and a dozen injured as a tornado ripped through texas. it knocked down trees, power lines and damaging houses. they say it was a category ef-1 with wind speeds up to 110 miles per hour, more than 170 k kilometers per hour. they have restricted nonresidents from entering the area. the. migrants may have gotten the message from the white house that the u.s. southern border isn't open now that title 42 is expired. shortly after the regulation ended, a top homeland security official said there was no substantial increase of migrants at the border. the long lines have tapered off dramatically. officials from the texas border area say they have yet to see the massive surge. listen to this. >> we're starting to see more order on the border. an orderly process of migrants not coming in it at the numbers that they were. the numbers that are crossing

now are under the capability and capacity of border patrol and cbp and law enforcement on our border. >> right now we are within capacity and we're logistically doing well. >> for more on the story, here's cnn's paolo sandoval. >> reporter: here on the u.s.-mexican border there's a feeling among stakeholders that the chaos they expected didn't necessarily play out. that's according to one senior cbp official. according to customs and border protection who has cited in a recently filed court document says the ten-day average currently stands at about 9,000, which is well below what is expected. there is concern and projections that suggest the number could go up to as many as 14,000 in the coming days or weeks. there is a number that is critically high here, and that is the daily custody average, which is the total number of migrants that are in the custody of customs and border patrol. that number still stands at

about 23,000. so this we can perhaps call a temporary respite is allowing them opportunities to process those individuals to make room for others who may possibly choose to enter the country illegally. now there is some speculation here on the ground when you speak to some of those who are running the shelters that we've seen some of these migrants, they seem to believe that perhaps some of the news coming from the biden administration and restrictive policies could be making it south of the border. you have many potential asylum seekers still weighing their options. there are, of course, those numbers that are likely to continue to grow. that is a number of asylum seekers ending up in some of america's largest cities. many here in el paso telling me they want to go to california, some wanting to stay in texas. many of them continue to say that new york city is their final destination. paulo sandoval, cnn, el paso, texas.

one of chile's issues was stealing and selling babies to adoption agencies. one is scott leeberman. thanks to dna testing he discovered he had a half sister living in chile whom he recently met for the first time. we have the story. >> reporter: she doesn't speak english and his spanish is basic. just a few weeks ago they were perfect strangers but now they hug as if they have known each other their entire lives. what brought them together was a dna test that proved scott lieberman, an american, and jenny are half siblings. >> she's my half sister. >> reporter: lieberman said it was at that moment he knew he had to travel to chile.

when he arrived they shared a hug that had to wait 42 years. >> very good. like almost all my family is here. it's incredible. like so much love. >> reporter: scott lieberman said he always knew he was adopted from chile. what he did not know was the whole truth about how the adoption happened. a few months ago he found out in the '70s and '80s there were many cases of babies stolen and sold to adoption agencies and began to wonder if the same thing had happened to him. >> i didn't know what happened. i lived 42 years of my life without knowing that i was stolen, knowing what -- what was happening down in chile during the '70s and '80s. i want people to know, people need to know there are families out there that can still be reunited. >> reporter: during the last decade cnn has documented multiple cases of babies that

were stolen at birth in chile. during the time babies were funneled from upper classes taken or given up to protect reputations and some from lower classes where children were simply stolen. chilean say many priests, doctors, nuns, nurses and others conspired to carry out illegal adoptions. authorities told us the number of stolen babies could be in the thousands but the investigation into the adoptions has languished over the years. scott lieberman is one of the lucky few. with the help of a chilean organization dedicated to reunited families in the support of my heritage, an online dna company, he was able to find his half sister and prove they were related. jenny learned the truth when she got a call from a volunteer.

>> translator: that was very shocking for me. it was something i can't describe, an emotion, a feeling that is yet to sink in. >> reporter: they recently visited the tomb of their mother who died of bone cancer in 2015. the 58-year-old died not knowing her son was still alive and would return home to chile less than a decade later. >> translator: never, ever did my mother talk about the fact that she had a child and it had been stolen. it was a painful truth she kept to herself for many years. i even think her pain took her away. >> after spending a few unforgettable days with his chilean family, scott lieberman returned to san francisco. he's planning to return to the country of his birth in august to celebrate his birthday. half siblings have made each other a promise, let's make up for lost time. raphael romo, cnn, atlanta.

donald trump and florida governor ron desantis on the campaign trail but bad weather foiled donald trump's plans and he canceled his appearance and that left desantis alone in iowa. while he hasn't officially announced he is running for the white house, desantis looked like he was sending out a message. >> reporter: ron desantis returned to iowa for a pair of events meant to show that he was laying the groundwork for presidential campaign even though he isn't in the race yet. ahead of his trip 37 state lawmakers endorsed desantis for president. there are signs that said desantis 2024 lining the event. there were signs that said desantis for president and there were signs saying they were going to support desantis in 2024. when it came time for him to address his political future, he avoided the topic altogether.

he said if you look to the past instead of the future in this upcoming presidential primary. >> if we make 2024 election a referendum on joe biden and his failures and if we provide a positive alternative for the future of this country, republicans will win across the board. if we do not do that, if we get distracted, if we focus the election on the past or on other side issues, then i think the democrats are going to beat us again, and i think it will be very difficult to recover from that defeat. >> reporter: now if you notice there governor desantis did not mention former president trump by name, that is by design. he does not want to confront trump directly. he will focus on biden. however, trump is focused on ron desantis. he posts on him on truth social. and he mentioned him at the cnn

town hall. we expected him to address desantis at his own event. trump stayed in florida. steve contorno, krchb, sioux city, iowa. president biden didn't mention donald trump by name either but it left no doubt who he was talking about. biden's address at a historically black university showed what he had to say. >> there are those who demonize and pit people against one another and there are those who do anything, everything no matter how desperate or immoral to hold on to power. that's never going to be an easy battle, but i know this, the oldest, most sinister forces, they believe they'll determine america's future, but they are wrong. >> now it's worth noting that

recent polling shows biden's support among black voters has dropped considerably since he took office although it's still above 50%. voters in turkey are going to the polls today in what could prove to be a pivotal general election. some 61 million voters are making choices that will determine turkey's next president and the makeup of the next parliament. current president erdogan is facing a challenge from the republican people's party and another from the right wing ancestral alliance. if no one wins at least half the vote a runoff will happen on may 28th. polls there are open. what is the mood there with so much at stake, jomana? >> reporter: you know, just under five hours to polls closing here. we've been to a couple of

polling centers in istanbul and you see this constant stream of people coming in voting. you have so many different people who are determined to take part in this election, whether it is your first-time voters and there's just under 5 million voters in this country who are voting for the first time and who are determined to be part of the decision on where this country goes next. you've also got the elderly coming in. we've seen family members coming, helping their elderly to come and vote. you have ambulances at one of the stations we were at and bringing in someone on a stretcher and wheelchairs to come in and vote. we met one woman, for example, who's a turkish american woman voting for the first time ever. a 78-year-old saying she was here because she wanted to take part in this historic decision. this is something we have heard from so many people. they have been waiting for this day. they feel this is not just about the next five years, this is about the future of this

country. there is so much at stake here and they have two very, very different choices in front of them you've got the president erdogan who has led this country for the past more than two decades, and he is promising to continue on the same path that he has been on. and you also have the opposition who for the first time have come together under one united coalition and put forward one candidate, and they are promising change. they are promising essentially to reverse years of president erdogan's rule. it's a very tough choice for a lot of people. when you talk to people, they tell you that there's just so much on their minds right now. this is a country that has been going through so much, whether it is the traumatic events of the last few months after that devastating earthquake that has brought a lot of criticism to president erdogan after what was

described as the disastrous initial response to the earthquake, the lack of preparedness. then you've got the economy which is impacting every single person you speak to where people have watched their life's savings pretty much lose value as the turkish lyra plummet. the cost of living that has gone up with inflation that people can't keep up with. a lot of people blame that on president erdogan's unorthodox economic policy. you also have, especially amongst the younger generation, the first-time voters, people we have been speaking to, they say this is also about their freedoms. this is about democracy and this is about their rights and they feel that, you know, no matter what the state of democracy is in this country right now, the ballot box is the only way they can express their views, they

can make change in this country and they can play a part in decision making and where this country goes next. it's a very, very tight race, as you mentioned, kim. we'll have to wait and see what happens in the next few hours. again, just under five hours to polls closing and expectation is it's going to be a high turnout. we saw the two main candidates, president erdogan and also the leader of the opposition casting their ballots all sounding very hopeful and optimistic. again, if neither of them gets more than 50% of the vote this goes to a runoff in two weeks. >> all right. polls close in five hours. we'll be watching. jo jomana in istanbul. becky anderson has a show at 7

the widely expected surge didn't happen. it expired on thursday with the end of the covid-19 public health emergency. authorities were concerned it might become dangerously over crowded. in cities like chicago and new york, lawsuits have been filed to keep migrants from being housed in certain locations. in new york they have issued executive orders barring the migrants and asylum seekers. according to mayor eric adams, it will give four months of temporary shelter for adult menace they try to obtain a work permit. new york city has processed more than 65,000 migrants since last spring with 35,000 still in the city's care. and joining me now from new york is attorney and cnn opinion writer reyes. thank you so much for being here. these lawsuits that are trying to stop migrants from being housed in other cities, i mean,

is this just the latest front in the nimby wars, the not in my backyard wars? what's behind this? >> well, to a certain extent i think many people can relate to both sides of this issue because we're talking about two very complicated issues. one is immigration and the other is the lack of affordable housing that we see all across the country. so what we're seeing, for example, in upstate new york when some counties are saying they are trying to bar asylum seekers from coming to their counties or resettling there, legally, that's an unsound approach. migrants like everyone else, they have constitutional rights. one is equal protection under the 14th amendment of the constitution. that means they can't be discriminated against about where they live. if you are looking at your local community seeking to bar people in terms of their status as a member of a group, that really is not going to hold up in

court. i think a better approach maybe would be in terms of being successful in these types of lawsuits would be localities that focus on zoning laws or focus on whether or not a local motel and hotel can be used for long-term housing. it's a question of how they target these laws versus how they're going to ultimately hold up in court. >> right. interesting. but, you know, getting at sort of what is behind this. looking a the the town of newburg in orange county, new york, it has a population that's 50% hispanic. how much of this is caused by zen kn xenophobia and how much is that these migrants are being offloaded with little to no planning or little to no input from communities? >> exactly. those are two issues at play here. one is just the lack of coordination. some of these local communities

say they're not fully informed about how many migrants are coming, for how long they will be coming, what the situation will be for them long term. the other is not necessarily xenophobia but definitely a lack of information or misinformation because i think many people might be afraid, depending on what they've heard in the media, that people might be coming who are potentially criminals or some type of lower elements where i don't think many people realize is migrants who have gone through processing at the border have been screened by the federal government. they have been vetted by homeland security before they're allowed into the country so we are not looking, based on people's prior records, at people with violent history or criminal records being resettled in local towns. it is a lack of communication

information at play here. >> and then competition for resources as well. looking at the case of chicago where the proposal was to open a center in the city's south side, it's not the case of a privileged group not wanting the migrants there. it's an under served community feeling as though the migrants are being dumped into an area that's under resourced as it is. is that a fair sentences defense? >> right. absolutely. when we look at the bigger picture, it's natural many of these migrants would choose to go to large american cities because that's where they have friends, they have relatives, they have potential support networks. the countries that are -- these cities, excuse me, receiving migrants, they are not ideal situations themselves because there are serious problems with homelessness and affordable housing and city budgets are restrained. we're mixing two very serious

problems. there are solutions. i'm not sure they're politically viable. one that struck me is senator bob menendez proposed to the administration that they potentially match up certain migrants potentially with states that have labor shortages. i mean, we're a country with i think 3.4% unemployment. we have 9 million available jobs so i think there is a question of coordinate where we might potentially place migrants and which types of communities are ready, able, willing to suit them. t the -- >> that's a great idea. appreciate getting your insights on this. cnn opinion writer raul reyes. thanks for joining us.
