water rising. as a critical dam collapses in ukraine. kyiv and moscow blaming each other for the breach, and now a wave of evacuations is under way, with residents being told to do everything you can to save your life. >> from cold cases to a suspect charged. how investigators used a
11:01 am
drinking glass to zero in on a man they say sexual assaulted four women more than ten years ago. that story and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central. we begin with a major dam breach in ukraine. you can see water gushing through the dam, which is in a critical spot on the dnipro river and on the front lines of the war. officials confirmed more than a thousand homes in the region have been flooded. one ukrainian official saying 16,000 people on the west bank of the river are in a critical zone. russia on the other hand is telling residents that there is no threat in the area. new satellite photos show the dam had just been damaged days before the breach. these pictures actually show the road that ran across the dam, and it was fully intact on may
11:02 am
28th. but this image from yesterday shows part of that road now missing. accusations are flying over who bears the blame. ukraine says it was blown up by russian forces in a panic. >> reporter: after the dam burst, water has been inundating villages around this area. we're in the south of ukraine in the area around kherson and right now i am in the city of kherson. the water here is not only putting villages in the surrounding area under water, but it's actually also inside the city itself. one of the things to be aware of, what's going on right now is the water level continues to go up as water is gushing from the dnipro river here towards this city and towards other cities in the region as well.
11:03 am
now, we have been in touch with a local security services here, and they're telling us that everybody who works in the city, anybody who has any sort of role is helping to evacuate people from areas like over there. there are still hundred of people who are trapped on their houses. some of them inside their houses, and everything is being mobilized right now, from boats to large trucks to try and get these people out. again, hundreds of people have been brought out, but at the same time this is very much an ongoing operation. the folks here tell us that operation is going to continue to go on. now, of course all of this is a huge issue and also a huge risk, not just as far as the environment is concerned, as far as this area is concerned, but of course also as far as the safety and security of the population on the ground is concerned. the ukrainians are extremely angry about this. they blame it squarely on the russians. the russians say it was the ukrainians. in any case there are a lot of people in this city and the surrounding areas who are suffering a great deal.
11:04 am
fred pleitgen, cnn, ukraine. we're also following a major development in u.s./china relations. antony blinken is expected to visit china in the coming weeks. a visit that comes after a sharp rise in tensions following the suspected high-altitude chinese spy balloon. china just snubbed a recent request for high level meetings. alex marquardt is with us now on this story. alex, what changes to prompt this? >> reporter: it is pretty remarkable. you're right that on the military front, china declined a meeting between the chiefs of the defense ministry, so secretary of defense lloyd austin asked to meet with his counterpart in singapore over the weekend. the chinese said no. there was a handshake between the two men. that did represent the tension between the two countries. this, breanna is on the diplomatic front of course, and to some extent you can
11:05 am
compartmentalize these things. the last meeting planned for secretary blinken was canceled because this spy balloon was crossing the country. but there has been contact, and that is crucial at a moment like this to have this kind of contact between the highest levels of the washington and beijing governments. we saw the national security adviser jake sullivan went to vienna to meet a counterpart last month. bill burns went to beijing itself to meet with counterparts as well. some of these conversations have continued but on specific areas -- burns was specifically speaking about intelligence matter. one element that contribute to the news now that blinken will be going to beijing is two very senior officials from the national security council, the senior most officials did go to
11:06 am
beijing yesterday. they what the china and the u.s. called candid and productive discussions. so now we have learned that blinken will be going to beijing in the coming weeks. that is something that is still being worked out. the state department has not officially announced it, but that is what's expected. >> they have been working their way up to this. these pictures, this is the close call between u.s. and chinese warships in the taiwan strait. you recently that interaction with a chinese jet be the american reconnaissance plain. this is the backdrop for this meeting. i wonder how they'll deal with these kinds of things. >> it really is. this plays into specifically the military relationship and how badly that is going between the two countries. this is part of what the white house just yesterday called unacceptable growing aggression by the chinese. in just the past week, we have had these two incidents where a chinese warship cut across in
11:07 am
front of a u.s. navy destroyer that was transitting what the u.s. called a routine transit of the taiwan strait, and that came day after a chinese tighter jet, that one right there, crossed in front of a u.s. surveillance plane, causing major turbulence in the cockpit. the white house calling this growing aggression, but at the same time the u.s. saying these line of communication do need to stay open. >> it's a sign they do, as we watch this really alarming video. thank you for the report. boris? happening right now, president biden is meeting with his cabinet at the white house. it's the first time he's gathered his top lieutenant since he announce he was running for re-election, and the meeting comes just days after congress passed a bipartisan bill to avoit a catastrophic default. jeremy diamond is at the white house. jeremy, what is going to be the focus of this meeting? >> reporter: when president biden was watching the senate vote late last week on
11:08 am
this debt ceiling bill, he walked into the chief of staff's office, asked about the democratic vote, and then turned to the chief of staff and talked to them about their next task at hand, which is implementing some of bipartisan pieces of legislation that he passed in his first two years in office. so this cabinet meeting that the president is having, first one since january, really marks a sort of reset for this white house. a white house that has been engulfed over the last month in debt ceiling negotiations and for weeks before then, much of the work was laying the public ground work. i think today you're going to hear president biden talk about what he hopes to accomplish in the remaining time he has this term in office. implementing the infrastructure law, the chips act, and inflation reduction act with so many climate change provisions. i suspect he'll also talk about the fact that the debt ceiling
11:09 am
deal protected those provisions. it also comes as the white house today, boris, launched a new website that is designed to track the various public sector and private sector investments spurred on by those various laws but very much an opportunity for this white house to look forward to what is to come and to the fact that that debt ceiling deal not only removed the threat of another debt ceiling standoff during the rest of biden's term in office, it also decent visited the possibility of a goth shut down giving a clear runway for this administration to folcus on economic messages, em policemenation efforts in the rest of biden's term in office. >> to promote what it has accomplished as the president get ready for campaign trail once more. jeremy diamond, thank you so much. prince harry testifying in the london in a phone hacking

11:14 am
prince harry is potentially facing some spare trouble. in just moments an american courtroom is going to hold a hearing about the british royal. a federal judge is going to hear an argument from the heritage foundation to unseal harry's immigration records. heritage is wondering how the prince was granted a u.s. visa when his recent blockbuster "spare" acknowledged drug use, which could be grounds to deny an application. jessica schneider is outside the d.c. district court. the heritage foundation first went directly to homeland security for these records. walk us through what happened
11:15 am
from there. >> reporter: yeah, so, boris, dhs denied heritage foundation's request to get these immigration records from prince harry. dhs saying they need consent from prince harry to release the records. today the heritage foundation is going inside the judge in this courthouse to ask the judge to compel dhs to release these records regardless in an expedited fashion. because heritage foundation is arguing hear that since prince harry has repeatedly admitted to past drug use, maybe there were grounds that dhs should not have granted his visa application, because u.s. law does say past drug use can be grounds for denying a visa application. here's what heritage argued in court filing. saying widespread and continuous media coverage surfaced the question of whether dhs properly admitted the duke of sussex in
11:16 am
light of the fact he's publicly admitted to the essential elements of a number of drug offenses in the united states and abroad. the united states generally -- they've repeatedly pointed to many of prince harry's admissions throughout his memoir, "spare". this a pointed this admission saying, of course, i had been doing cocaine during his teenage years. at a shooting house i had been offered a line. it wasn't much fun and didn't make me particularly happy. this hearing is about whether dhs can be compelled to use the documents they are arguing are of a strictly personal nature, that they can not release without prince harry's consent. this was judge carl nichols, appointed to the bench in 2015 by president trump. i will note it is extremely rare for a federal judge to step into
11:17 am
a case like this. this is a case involving the freedom of information act, and heritage foundation is really asking the judge to step in at a very early point when dhs is saying, look, we're still working through this and it needs to go through its normal course before a judge orders any release of personal information, especially belonging to prince harry. >> such a fascinating story. maybe a reason not to put that in your memoir not not write a memoir at all. on purpose or a mistake? sources tell cnn a flood at mar-a-lago is raising questions in the trump classified documents probe. a maintenance worker drained a swimming pool and ended up flooding a room where surveillance tapes were stored. happened two months after the fbi searched the resort and found hundred dollars of classified documents and it was the same maintenance worker who was seen on security footage
11:18 am
moving boxes before the fbi search. cnn's paula reed is joining us now on this story. have they spoken to this maintenance worker? this they been able to get the story? >> we know they have interviewed the may not then worker, a lot of other witnesses the. they have a lot of story about surveillance. draining a pool at a beachside resort takes on a lot of significant. the question is whether or not they have been able to prevent investigators from getting all surveillance video. it was not clear if this was intentional that this flooded the area where there was surveillance footage, and it doesn't appear it was damaged, but it was one of a series of incidents that investigators are looking at to try to determine if there was a conscious effort, intention to try to interfere with their investigation. we knoen brought many witnesses before the grand jury to try to confirm whether they have all those surveillance footage, if there are gaps, or
11:19 am
again, anyone tried to prevent them from getting the information they're seeking. >> so far hasn't led to the idea it destroyed any evidence, right? >> exactly. at this point it's just a question. it's an unusual incident investigators want to look more closely at because they're seeing it in the full context of the investigation where surveillance has been key. we know an aide to former president trump was seen on footage moving boxes in and out of owe storage facility. those boxes we later learned contained classified materials. so one of the questions, is why did do you do that? did someone tell you to do that? as they're asking questions, if there are other concerns about the surveillance footage they have been watching, do they have it all, was there any effort to destroy it, they want to take a closer look at an incident like this and say, was there any attention to prevent us from getting the evidence? it's not only look at the mishandle of classify documents, the retaining of information,
11:20 am
but also get in the way. >> paula reed, thank you. boris? we we come back, it's been the subject of violent protests but atlanta city council just approved funding for what krs are calling cop city. that straight ahead. and learning more about the private plane that crashed in virginia as sources tell cnn the pilot was slumped over in the cockpit as it flew. stay with us. get one 50% off in the subway app todaday. now that's a deal worth cecelebrati. man, what are you doing?! get it b before it's gone on the subway app. ♪ [♪] if you have diabetes, it's important to have confidence in the nutritional drink you choose. try boost glucose control®. it's clinically shown to lp manage blood sugar levels d contains high quality protein to help manage hunger and support musc health. try boost® tay.

11:25 am
now to a stunning case out of boston. prosecutors charging a man with a series of sexual assaults that happened more than a decade ago. matthew nylo is accused of attacking four women between 2007 and 2008. in court he plead not guilty to the multiple rape and kidnapping charges against him. jean, 15 years is a long time. how did police rtrack this suspect down? >> reporter: forensic science. genetic genealogy,s the at the forefront of solving so many cases and also preventing even more cases from happening. but what prosecutors allege in this complaint is that between those years of 2007 and 2008, that they had someone who was committing rapes, and there was a pattern, they said. they looked at the victims and looked to see exactly what the similarities were -- terminal
11:26 am
street in boston was a major similarity, and it was a pattern. the first victim -- i'll say alleged victim, because we haven't gotten in court yet, but she is a victim. she was with a girlfriend and one night she said, i got to try to find my carpal she went around downtown area to find a car. she thought she recognized this guy in a car hem said, i can help you find your car. she gets in the car, says, i'm have a weapon, i'm going to kill you. and raped her. the second girl thought she was getting into a taxi. he took her to terminal street where he allegedly raped her. the third girl, a panhandler, she wanted some money according to prosecutors, and he offered money if she would get in the car. took her to an area, terminal street, and raped her. the fourth was different. this was someone who was jogging, had a bear hug from the back and the perpetrator started
11:27 am
to try to sexual assault here and rape her. she had gloves on, took her gloves and poked him through his eye, and he ran away. all of them had sexual assault rape kits done at the hospital, every single one of them, and three of them came with the same unknown male dna profile, but they didn't know who it was. the first one was inconclusive at the time. last year is when they started doing further testing and that further testing found it was consistent with matthew nilo, a new jersey man who is an attorney, has been an attorney in a firm in new york city. >> a fascinating development the way that they were able to locate him. jean, thank you so much for that. let's bring in cnn's security correspondent josh campbell. prosecutors, josh, say that authorities put nilo under surveillance going back to last year, so walk us through that process of collecting dna to be
11:28 am
able to present in court in a situation like this. >> yeah, boris, this is incredible technology that's revolutionized the way police solve cold cases, and that is because someone who commits a brutal lime like a sexual assault often leaves behind some trace of dna, but authorities have to have something to compare it to. if there's not a known offender in the data bases they have to look outword. often what they've done is use the genealogy websites. long lost relative, submit your dna, they make those connections. these proven a gold mine for law enforcement. and the way the process works, dna, the building blocks of life work share about 50% dna with our parents, about the same with siblings, so it doesn't have to be the suspect, him or herself uploading the materials. police trying to make family connections. if they see a potential match, they'll start looking at the person that submitted the dna.
11:29 am
who are are relatives? do they li near where the assault took place? do they know the victims? that leads to the next step, the good old-fashioned police work. in this case what we're told is undercover fbi agents were surveilling this suspect at a corporate event. they saw him using utensils, taking a drink out of a glass. they grab the material, do the testing to make that match. as they say, they believe this is their suspect based on that technology. truly, truly incredible that we've seen so many of those cold cases solved just this way. >> what a powerful tool for law enforcement. josh, i'm wondering if there's been any public blowback for the use of that kind of system to catch these suspects. >> there certainly has. there's this question about privacy. many online websites will allow to you opt out of allowing law enforcement to search your information. but group like the american civil liberties union say there
11:30 am
has to be greater oversight, that police should have to get a warrant before they bo and search this material. there's also a question about how authorities collect the sample from the suspect. now, in this case, he was at a public -- corporate event. so the question comes down to, do you have a reasonable expectation of privacy? they can't walk in your door and grab a glass out of your cabinet. there are a lot of questions because consumer privacy is something these websites take seriously. some try not to cooperate with law enforcement, but some of the major ones still do, and their efforts led police to catch many perpetrators. >> such an interesting case. josh, thank you for walking us through that. >> atlanta's city council voted to provide funding for the public training facility dubbed cop city. the vote came this morning after 16 hours of heated public comment. this is a project that's faced
11:31 am
strong opposition from protesters over social, environmental, and justice concerns in january, a 26-year-old activist was shot and killed at the site of this. they're saying the protester shot a gun buck his family denies that. cnn's ryan young is joining us now on this story. ryan, tell us where the debate on this facility goes from here. >> still ongoing. this was a marathon city council meeting for a training facility that so that far is getting national attention. activists have been angry about the loss of trees and fund going towards the center. the trees were clear out several weeks ago. the city says they plan to add 85 acre of trees before that vote goes down. before the city hall was worried about safety. hundreds of people showed up for
11:32 am
public comment. public comment didn't stop until around 3:00 a.m. many in the city believe this senter is needed to train fire and ems. you talk about the shooting of manuel. it was actually done by state troopers. they say he shot first and returned fire. but since then, dozens of protesters have been arrested. this hasn't stopped. take a listen to both sides. >> i needed more confident in my no vote today. >> my position has not changed. so, i'm sensitive to what i'm hearing today. >> we're obligated to do something. so even though this is an extreme show of opposition, our obligations still remain. >> yeah, there's been owe lot of talk about this. of course the atlanta mayor says partially in a statement that this center will work on anti-bias training, de-escalation techniques and other community based solutions to keep our city safe and focus on the citizens of atlanta.
11:33 am
they believe this will be a model for teaching police officers going into the future. there was all that talk in 2020 about changing how police interact with the community. atlanta feels this will be that first step. but let's not forget, there's been owe a lot of focus just on the police portion of this. there's also fire training. the passion, people staying until well after 3:00 in the morning, this won't go away for some time. there's also private money being raised. >> boris? get ready for the legal battles. oklahoma just approved the favors taxpayer funded religious charter school in the nation. we have the latest on that. and the human rights campaign just declared a national state of emergency for the lgbtq community as threats and violence against its members ramp up. stay with us.
11:34 am
this thing, it's making me get an ice bath again. what do you mean? these straps are mind-blowing! they collect hundreds of data points like hrv and rem sleep, so you know all you need for recovery. and you are? i'm an investor...in invesco qqq, nasdaq 100 in. wearable training optimization tech. uh, how long are you... i'm done. i'm okay.

as millions of people around the world celebrate pride month, today a chilling warning from america's largest lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and que, er civil rights foundation. declaring a state of emergency for the first time in its first four plus decades in existence. miguel, what does this declaration mean, and why is it being issued now? >> what it means in practical terms is that they are trying to bring attention to the fact that the nature of the argument and
11:39 am
discussion around gay rights right now has become very toxic as the political season is heating up. they point to the number of anti-lgbt plus legislative efforts in states across the country. this year alone so far over 525 such pieces of legislation have been introduced. they touch on all sorts of things -- everything from health care to mental health services to gender aif i wering care to drag shows and to education, especially. most of these -- or many of them are targeted at the transgender community. more than 220 of the bills across the country are focused on the transgender community in all 75 so far have been enacted into lou and this sort of is a growing trend they hope will continue as the political season continues as well. you know, the federal government has some statistics bearing this all out.
11:40 am
from 2017 to 2020, the bureau of justice statistics indicates that violence against the lgbtq plus community is more than -- is two times that of straight people, and for the transgender community it is even worse -- two and a half times that of cis gender or straight people. there's great concern in the community. they are ringing the alarm bell with this state of emergency, expecting as the political season moves on and the rhetoric around lgbtq plus issues will get worse. we have seen pride parades and pride events canceled in a few towns. in florida, you saw target pull some of their pride out of stores because of kerns to safety and staff. the transcommunity in general is concerned about the tenor, ran
11:41 am
core, and direction of lgbtq plus rights in this country right now. boris? >> miguel marquez reporting from new york. thank you so much for. that breanna? oklahoma's state school board just approved what will be the state's first taxpayer funded school. the archdiocese will run this school for k through 12, but the government is already getting fierce backlash. the state's republican attorney general calling the approval unconsti unconstitutional. let's bring in ed laf darrah on this story. is they planning legal action? >> there's no question this is headed for the courts. but this is known as the oklahoma statewide virtual charter school board, which many probably didn't know existed 24 hours ago is sending shock waves through the education community, crass the country. this is the board that approved the application by the
11:42 am
archdiocese of oklahoma city and tulsa to open up the adore of s vil charter school. this happened during a three hoff hour debate yesterday. the board voted 3-2 to grant the application for the school to open up in the fall of 2024 with an initial enrollment of about 500 students. this approve has shent shock waves through the education community, through the country. it does have to support of the governor. the governor called it a win for religious liberty and education extreme. but the republican attorney general in oklahoma very critical of this, saying that the approval of any publicly funded religious school is contrary to oklahoma law and not in the best interest of taxpayers. the a.g. went on to say he's extremely disappointed that board members violated their oath in approving this
11:43 am
application and went ton sayed the cost taxpayers a great deal of money as well. another group called the americans united for separation of church and state described this as a sea change for american democracy and added that public schools must never be allowed to become sunday schools some clearly this headed for legal challenges, brianna, and the reality of all of this is that the fate of this school, and whether or not it even opens in the fall of 2024 will end up in the courts and a judge or perhaps a supreme court is something some people believe this is a case will reach that level, might decide the fate of the school. >> the impact could be broad. ed lavandera live on the story, thank you so much. boris? today, disease detectives are at the scene of the toxic train derailment in east palestine, ohio. and an arctic with no sea
