world. i'm kim brunhuber. ahead on "cnn newsroom," president biden leaves for europe in a few hours. we'll look at how a controversial decision to supply ukraine with cluster bombs could complicate talks with u.s. allies as ukraine marks 500 days of war. and president zelenskyy welcomes home five commanders captured in the siege mariupol. plus -- the united states is not seeking to decouple from china. >> u.s. treasury secretary janet yellen says the world is big enough for both the u.s. and china to thrive. we'll break down the key takeaways from her meetings in beijing. live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with kim brunhuber. >> nato leaders are meeting this week and will try to cover a lot of ground in just a few days with ukraine topping their agenda. president biden is set to leave in the coming hours stopping first in london before going on.

apple press allies to continue support for ukraine and discuss kyiv's long standing request to join the alliance. this is against the backdrop of the u.s. finally beginning to supply cluster bombs. for more, here is priscilla alvarez. >> reporter: the stakes couldn't be higher for the future of the nato alliance at a critical time with the ongoing war in ukraine and failed coup attempt in russia last month. so president biden will embark on this three country trip, he will start at the united kingdom where he will meet with king k45ir8s as well as the british prime minister and then move on for the nato summit and conclude in finland. but the summit is key and it is one in which there will likely be discussions about whether or not ukraine will join nato. on friday, national security adviser jake sullivan told reporters that it is unlikely that coming out of the summit ukraine will be joining nato, but they could be discussing

steps forward and that is something that president biden himself has acknowledged would be premature for ukraine to enjoy now, but they could be discussing what it looks like moving forward. >> i don't think there is unanimity about whether or not to bring ukraine into the nato family now. at this moment. the middle of a war. for example, if you did that, then -- and i mean what i say, we're determined to commit every inch of territory that is nato territory, a commitment that we've all made no matter what. if the war is going on, then we're all in a war. you know, we're at war with russia if that were the case. so i think that we have to lay out a rational path for russia -- excuse me, for ukraine to be able to qualify to get into nato. nato is a process that takes time to meet all the

qualifications. and from democratization to a whole range of other issues. in the meantime though i've spoken with zelenskyy at length about this, an one of the things i indicated is that the united states would be ready to provide while the process is going on, and it will take a while, while that process is going on, to provide security ala the security we provide for israel. providing the weaponry, the capacity to defend themselves. if there is an agreement, sf there is a ceasefire, if there is a peace agreement. >> reporter: the question will be a flash point the next week and president biden would be a key player in determining criteria or time line. so that is really where the focus will be the next few days. will ukraine eventually join nato and also what does long term aid look like as the war is ongoing especially after the u.s. committed to sending cluster munitions to the country. >> nato allies aren't expected to follow the u.s. lead on cluster bombs and probably

couldn't even if they wanted to. the uk where president biden will arrive later today is among the many countries to ban them. here is what the prime minister had to say about it. >> the uk is signatory to a convention which prohibits the production or use of cluster munitions. we'll continue to do our part to support ukraine against russia's illegal and unprovoked invasion. we'll be talking to the nato summit will we'll be discussing exactly this with our allies, how we can strengthen our support for ukraine. >> moscow mocked the revised u.s. policy on cluster bombs calling it an act desperation, an evidence of ukraine's failed counteroffensive adding it won't keep russia's military from achieving its goals in ukraine. for more, i want to bring in president of the global situation room and former

director of global engagement in the obama white house. he is joining us live from london. thanks for being here with us. i want to start on that decision about cluster nmunitions. when we look at the international reaction, do you think the u.s. will pay a price here in terms of its international standing and whatever moral leadership it has around the world? >> it is interesting because i actually think that it will refocus attention of a lot of our allies on what they are not doing to help ukraine. because for the better part of the last year and a half, we've heard a lot of rhetoric, we've gotten a lot of promises, but there has been i think a big gap in terms of what ukraine has actually gotten. and ukraine has been fighting with one hand tied behind its back in a lot of respects as the u.s. as well as other allies put he restrictions on the length of missiles that they can receive or in this case obviously cluster munitions. and while the u.s. obviously

went through a very difficult process deliberating this, i think at the end of the day they came out at the right spot. they have to he help ukraine take back territory and stop the civilian casualties that russia is inflicting on their own population. >> yeah, i mean, you say that they have been grappling with the situation for a while. i mean, how do you think president biden has handled this crisis? >> well, look, from the standpoint of stepping up when it mattered, i think biden gets an a-plus. however, and this is important for the deliberations taking place this week, we have to see more of his strategy because right now what you have is kind of like a potluck dinner where everyone is bringing a dish that doesn't necessarily all fit together. and ukraine is somewhat struggling with the arms that they have gotten, how they work together and what they actually need in order to put russian forces out of their territory.

>> all right. so before we get to the summit, among the countries that disagree with the use of cluster munitions as we heard there, the prime minister of the u kk wher biden will be meeting, is there any daylight between their approach to the war, any issues that need to be resolved there? >> certainly both have been very strong supporters of ukraine. so i don't think that you will see much daylight there. rishi sunak the british prime minister would like to have a closer relationship to reinforce that so-called special relationship with the united states. here in the uk, i think that there is a sense that biden has not embraced the uk and that special relationships as much. so what i'm looking to see is what is the u.s. administration going to throw the uk in terms of tightening that bond between our two countries and with respect to the war in ukraine, i

think there is a lot that we can do as the two countries that have provided the most support for kyiv. >> so then looking ahead to the other allies, the fourth nato summit since the russia invasion, you talked about the allies supplying ukraine, but clearly, you know, ukraine joining nato will be on the list of topics. we heard president biden with the interview with fareed zakari, ukraine is not ready to join nato, but of course when will be a huge question at the summit. >> the when is a question. and quite frankly this comes back to my old diplomatic days of descriptions. there are ways in which that we can describe ukraine's potential membership, the path to that membership, as well as its current status. and you heard president biden in

his interview with fareed mention that we can create, if you will, an extra special relationship of ukraine to nato. zelenskyy has to have something that he can sell to his people to say, look, nato is truly behind us even if we don't yet have membership, i think that this counts for something. >> it will be interesting couple of days to see what comes of it. thank you so much for your analysis. appreciate it. >> sure thing. so despite all the controversy over the cluster bombs, ukraine is thanking the u.s. for the move saying weapons will help them defend their land. ben wedeman reports. >> reporter: news that the united states is going to provide ukraine with controversial cluster munitions is being applauded here. the defense minister thanked the u.s. in a tweet and pledged that ukraine would only use the weapons to liberate territory

currently occupied by the russians, that they wouldn't use thes in urban area, and they would keep a detailed record of where the cluster munitions were used in the event hostilities move on or the war ends. meanwhile ukrainian forces are reporting gains around bakhmut. they claim to have seized strategic high ground around a village just south of bakhmut. and also saturday morning several russian rockets slammed into a residential area about 25 miles north of bakhmut. and it hit an area where residents were out buying groceries from local food stores, at least eight people were killed in that strike. and more than a dozen injured. ben wedeman, cnn, from eastern ukraine. ukraine's president has brought back five former

commanders who had been sent to turkey after being captured in battle. they were reunited with their loved ones on saturday. the 500th day of the war. they were greeted by supporters and church leaders in a ceremony and pledged to return to the battlefield to take on russia. the group was allowed to leave turkey after volodymyr zelenskyy negotiated their release which he said was long overdue. here he is. >> translator: on the 500th day of war, our state brought home five heros of ukraine, commanderses of mariupol and of a stole defenses. they went through captivity and were in turkey for more than 300 days. it is time for them to be at home. >> anded ed hadnada bashir is j. how significant was their return to ukraine? >> reporter: this is hugely significant and deeply symbolic.

many will remember the siege of mariupol last year. we saw ukrainian defenders holding out for months in bunkers and tunnels until receiving the order from kyiv to surrender, at which point the port city fell under total and complete russian control. and we saw eventually a prisoner swap brokered in part by turkey in september. and it has long been a priority for president zelenskyy to see the return of these soldiers, of these commanders, part of that prisoner swap. and we heard from president zelenskyy and the commanders yesterday. president zelenskyy of course deeply moved advisably by the return of these commanders. and as you mentioned, the commanders saying that they intend to return to the battlefield, that it is time to get back to work, that they are military men and took an oath. but of course this has been met by some backlash from moscow of course. they have accused turkey of not

upholding the terms of the prisoner swap agreement and have said that they were not informed at any point by the turkish government. so this could put turkey in a difficult position. president erdogan has of course not only continued to support ukraine, but has maintained cordial relations with president putin and with negotiations ongoing around the renewal of the grain deal and other diplomatic agreements, this could put turkey's position as a mediator in a difficult place. >> and we've heard more details now from ukraine about that crimea bridge explosion in october. what more can you tell us about that? >> absolutely. at the time ukraine celebrated the bridge explosion but no admission of responsibility, at least no clear responsibility of admission. but this appears to be the clearest sign of responsibility that we have seen since.

the deputy defensemen are taking to telegram to list the 12 key achievements made by the ukrainian armed forces since the beginning of russia's invasion. included in that list is the explosion of the crimea bridge. of course at the time this was a huge blow to moscow not only in terms of their military operations in ukraine, but of course it was a huge psychological blow, this was a huge achievement for president putin linking the russian occupied crimea. and of course logistically this was a significant feat. but of course also a huge victory for ukraine. so seeing that admission now perhaps might be the boost needed in terms of propaganda perhaps as ukraine continues with the counteroffensive. >> thanks so much, nada bashir. and so while president biden prepares for his trip abroad, a top cabinet official is heading home after high level talks in china. relations between washington and

beijing have been strained for a long time. we'll look at whether that may be changing. a live report after the break. and demonstrators in israel protest against benjamin netanyahu's planned judicial reforms. that and more after the break. . the suncare brand useded most by dermatologists for themselves and their families. vital protection for all l your days in the sun with neutrogenena® beach defense®.

tensions, there might be a bit of a thaw in u.s./china relations. u.s. treasury secretary yellen ig is heading back to america after wrapping up what she describes as direct, substantive and productive talks with the premier and other top officials. yellen said she made it clear the u.s. is not seeking to disconnect economically from china. here she is. >> president biden and i do not see the relationship between the u.s. and china through the frame

of a great power conflict. we believe that the world is big enough for both of our countries to thrive. both nations have an obligation to responsibly manage this relationship. >> let's bring in will ripley live for us in taiwan's capital of taipei. so will, let's start with the wrap-up of her visit. take us through the day. >> reporter: well, essentially she by all accounts looking at the video and the messaging both from the united states and chinese side, it was a good series of meetings. a pretty grueling schedule, but it seems as if they on all sides felt that they left with something that they can feel good about not necessarily in terms of delivering on answers to some of the most complicated economic issues dividing the u.s. and china, but at least they are having conversations at a high enough level that they can shape policy eventually and maybe come to find common ground. and maybe not. but at least they have the

opportunity to have the conversation. and really yellen probably more than almost anyone else in the biden administration because she's worked so closely with the chinese over the years on the economic issues, and they have been very good working with the u.s. on their economy side, we've talked about other areas that have been more contentious, the discussions can be a bit more difficult. but you can see in the videos there that they were getting alone pretty well and the end result is that they say they feel confident that they will have a much more stable communication platform to stand on which is -- i can't tell you how important that is, kim, considering that just months ago we were talking about how the u.s./china relationship was at it lowest level in half a century and there were these increasing miscalculations of potentially a matter of sends that -- seconds that could have made the difference between a collision to something absolutely catastrophic. and it seems like both sides are

trying to do their best to at least keep the talking happening and see where it goes from there. >> this was an topportunity fora new team in beijing, a new economic team, to meet with us and for us to establish a desire and willingness to work together. i feel confident that we will have more frequent and regular communication and that there will be benefits that come from that. >> remember this was all supposed to start towards the end of last year except for the fact that that chinese spy balloon the on the eve of the secretary of state's planned visit to beijing, just basically put the brakes on all of this and then we had six months of really rising tensions and a lot of rhetoric on both sides, rhetorical escalation that at times seemed like it was pushing closer to a military escalation.

that did not happen. and much to the relief of many around the world, these talks seem to indicate that the trend now at least for the moment is in a much more positive direction in terms of diplomacy and not military and militarization. >> appreciate it, will ripley in taipei. ♪ you see israelis in jerusalem there among hundreds of thousands of people keeping up the pressure on israel's government for a 27th consecutive weekend. demonstrators marched in tel aviv and other cities on saturday protesting benjamin netanyahu's proposed judicial changes. they say his bill restricts the supreme court's power and undermines democracy. many gathered outside the home of the defense minister calling on him to join the protests.

they come ahead of a planned first reading of the bill monday. one demonstrator said she's worried about the future. >> i attend all the protests every saturday and i don't think that things are getting any better. my concern hasn't dropped. i see that the government actually wants to proceed with a law that will infringe on people's ability to fight for their rights and i'm currently concerned about our future here. >> japan's plans of release of waste water is drawing criticism from north korea. they call the move evil and anti anti-humanitarian. hundreds turned out to protest the plan the day after a visit from the head of the international atomic thrg agency, the group declared japan's plan to be in line with international safety standards. japan will treat the water with pollutants and then it will be released gradually in highly diluted form and the process will begin sometime this summer.
