12:00 pm
12:01 pm
>> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. we start the hour of cnn news central with breaking news out of orange county, new york. we're getting new information about a deadly high school bus crash. we know that 45, at least 45,
12:02 pm
people were hurt when this bus carrying a high school band camp overturned. >> this is obviously a very serious situation that we're monitoring. we have raul sandoval back with us watching. what can you tell us? >> reporter: the 45 figure coming from the local fire department saying 45 individuals were severely injured and 1 person is dead. we know this bus was transporting a large group of students from long island, from farmingdale high school. those students were on their way to band camp in pennsylvania when their bus crashed. these aerial pictures give a dramatic look at what took place. you see that bus on its side in a wooded area off of interstate 84 i believe. here's what we understand right now. the students were coming from farmingdale high school headed
12:03 pm
to pennsylvania, about a 145-mile drive when the bus crashed killing one person and injuring at least 45 according to local fire officials. the school district releasing a statement sayingsaying, quote, were informed there was an accident with bus 1 on its way to pennsylvania for band camp. police and first responders on the scene. the school district said they'll provide additional information as it becomes available. there's many questions here, including the cause of the accident, and also the severity of the individuals injured when the bus landed on its side. the result is a massive scene still very active right now. a portion of interstate 84, according to authorities, remains closed as authorities work the scene. guys? >> so we are taking a live look at the scene and, as you can
12:04 pm
see, it appears that i-84 -- we lost that. it appeared that authorities were setting up a triage site on i-84. polo, please stay with us. from our vantage point from wabc, it looks like authorities are combing the area for evidence. you mentioned there were 45 people hurt, at least 1 dead. do we have any other information from officials about who else might have been on board? was this exclusively the high school band on this bus? >> reporter: right. we understand it was a bus that had been chartered for use to transport these students. when you look at the statement released by the district, you see this was -- they refer to this as bus 1. we don't know if it was part of a fleet that the school system kept for use to transport students or if it was a charter company. it's all -- these are all questions we're trying to answer. as you point out in the
12:05 pm
pictures, you see authorities on the ground canvassing the area, making sure they don't miss anything and most importantly anyone. this was a bus that was transporting dozens of individuals. authorities certainly want to make sure anybody who needs help, who needs medical attention is getting that and, of course, gathering evidence as they try to find out what led to this crash. now, fatal crash of a bus transporting these students from long island headed to band camp. >> do we know where they're being transported in terms of hospitals? you do make a very good point. we can see this ravine, this area where the bus is. it's not just grass as it is on that hill. there's some pretty large bushes. when you're talking about a crash of this magnitude and we're talking about a bus, you would expect people may not be wearing seat belts. there's concern some people and certainly somethings will be
12:06 pm
ejected from the bus. they're going through the large area of the ground there to make sure. do we know anything, polo, about where they're transporting people? >> caller: we know there are multiple area hospitals where many of the injured will be taken. we know that some people had to be air evacuated from the zone there. that might speak to the severity of their injuries. in terms of those who survive and may not need medical attention, what we've seen in the past is a reunification center so parents can get their children that have been medically cleared. we don't know if that's been done. we certainly -- it would not be surprising if we got to that point as the parents of these children -- again, 45 people injured on that bus that was carrying students. these parents will be desperate
12:07 pm
for answers and desperate to be reunited with their children. as of this point, we don't know where that's happening right now. authorities are certainly -- the school district is taking those steps to make sure parents are informed. >> polo, let's talk about the geographical context here. orange county is not far from manhattan. i believe your reporting was that this was a high school located on long island? >> reporter: right. these were students from farmingdale high school on long island. they were, according to the school district, heading to pennsylvania. it's about a 140-mile drive they would be making if they started from their school. this would have happened well beyond new york city. when you look at the geography there, it's not as populated as perhaps you would find in new york city. that may have led to a challenge for authorities.
12:08 pm
it is certainly a heavily-wooded area that authorities have to comb as they try to get to the bottom of what led to this crash. >> again, at least one person dead, 45 others hurt in a bus crash in orange county, new york. polo, we'll let you go get more information. we'll keep you updated with the latest. >> you see them using a drone. we could see a small drone. we see them in a row canvassing the area raising questions about is someone missing, is something important missing? obviously the parents will have major questions. >> no doubt. we are also focusing on other major news in the nation's capitol. ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy will arrive at the white house to meet with president biden. he'll be there just a few hours after additional russian strikes killed ukrainian civilians. these are new strikes.
12:09 pm
zelenskyy is pleading with the west for more help. he will get some of it at least from president biden, at least symbolically. biden will walk him through a new military aid packages. >> when he met with lawmakers earlier, zelenskyy had a tougher sell. more and more republicans are trying to block increased aid to ukraine. zelenskyy put it bluntly. he said, you give money. we give lives. we'll see if that will convince anyone. we're covering this across washington. we're covering this inside ukraine. let's start with kayla taushi at the white house. kayla, these two leaders are largely on the same page when it comes to countering russia. what are we expecting here? >> reporter: we're expecting another show of force by washington. the honor guard has been
12:10 pm
assembling here on the driveway where we expect president zelenskyy to arrive. it's the third time zelenskyy has visited the white house in person. this afternoon is going to follow a pretty specific program. biden is going to hold a bilateral with zelenskyy. he'll be introducing the ukrainian president to a newly appointed u.s. diplomat, penny pritsker. she's be leading the rebuilding inside ukraine. her job is going to be to connect private sector companies to the rebuilding effort to generate investment. that can't happen until there's something to rebuild, until there's a victory for ukraine. that's what zelenskyy is here to try to secure. president biden is going to be holding a meeting with his cabinet where they'll be looking for battlefield intelligence from zelenskyy about how the
12:11 pm
counteroffensive is going, how much more military assistance and aid they will need. president biden said to announce $325 million from an existing drawdown. tens of billions of dollars more will be needed this year. >> kayla, stand by. we await zelenskyy's arrival at the white house. let's get to capitol hill with lauren fox. lauren, a range of viewpoints today on the issue of ukraine. did president zelenskyy change any minds? >> reporter: yeah, a range, boris, and a deep division between republican leaders in the house and in the u.s. senate. so far it's not clear that zelenskyy changed any minds, especially when it comes to house speaker kevin mccarthy. he's been circumspect about putting more ukraine funding on the floor of the house of the representatives. after his meeting with zelenskyy, i pressed him on whether or not he would commit
12:12 pm
to putting $24 billion in a supplemental request from the white house on the floor of the house before the end of the year. repeatedly he dodged the question saying there were issues and priorities when it came to the u.s.' spending that needed to be dealt with first. a huge question of whether kevin mccarthy will put that money on the floor of the house. this is coming as he is trying to find a way forward with his republican conference to avert a government shutdown. house republicans are expected to leave for the weekend, even though they said they were going to work through the weekend. no indication that any minds, or at least the minds that matter, were changed. boris? >> it's so stunning, i think, lauren to look at the visuals that we see coming off the hill and the difference between the senate and the house where you have mitch mcconnell walking
12:13 pm
side by side with senate majority leader and president zelenskyy trying to present this unified front of democrats and republicans supporting ukraine and then on the flip side at the house you have speaker kevin mccarthy who will not be seen in public with president zelenskyy because of the political peril it puts him in. it's a far cry from the republican party just of even a few years ago. >> reporter: yeah, it is a far cry. it's a far cry from what zelenskyy received when he came to the capitol last year when house speaker nancy pelosi was in charge and he spoke before a joint meeting of congress. he was sort of met with a sea of yellow and blue as lawmakers were standing giving him an ovation and arguing that more money for ukraine was not only critical for that country, but the future of the united states. it's a very, very different reception he received in the house today.
12:14 pm
house speaker kevin mccarthy is being careful because those on his right flank have mocked the support for ukraine. you had matt gaetz earlier tweeting a picture of mccarthy standing with his pin with the ukraine flag and yellow and blue pocket square. matt gaetz tweeted how does this make you feel? organizing it's going to enrage some on the far right. that's why speaker kevin mccarthy has been so careful, breonna. >> lauren, please stand by. president zelenskyy will get to the white house in a few moments. fred is on the ground in ukraine for us. bring us up to speed on the latest series of russian attacks there. >> reporter: a huge barrage of aerial attacks happened earlier today. the timing seems conspicuous as it was just as president
12:15 pm
zelenskyy was arriving in washington that the russians unleashed this aerial attack. they used ballistic missiles and cruise missiles as well. the ukrainians say the russians used ten nuclear capable strategic bombers and launched 43 cruise missiles at the territory of ukraine. the ukrainians say thanks to some of the air defense systems they were able to take most of those missiles down. some did come through and cause damage. there were five people killed in kherson. the ukrainians also say what concerns them is there was a massive attack on ukraine's energy infrastructure. if we look back to last fall and winter and into the spring, the russians unleashed a giant aerial campaign against ukraine's energy infrastructure essentially trying to freeze the ukrainians into submission.
12:16 pm
they fear that could be the start of something like that again. ukrainians say there were massive power outages in the west and center of the country and some still continue. there is work in progress to restore the power. ukraine's president is pleading for more air defense weapons to help the ukrainians better defend themselves than what we've been seeing in the past couple hours. >> so far not getting them, even though it's on the table, fred. fred, thank you so much. i want to head back to the white house where kayla is. to fred's point, kayla, these long-range weapons that have been discussed so much, you heard zelenskyy as he came to the hill as he's been in washington, he's saying that ukraine is not going to cede territory. in fact, they want crimea back. at this point the u.s. is not
12:17 pm
delivering on the long-range missiles. can you explain why that is? is it logistical? is it a political consider? >> reporter: breonna, the administration has not denied the capabilities would be helpful in ukraine's defense of its country and some of those territories. what i learned through reporting is that the u.s. military has briefed the white house that what ukraine needs most right now to be successful in the counteroffensive are vehicles, mine-clearing equipment, the types of aid that will help them breach russian defenses on the ground and they want to essentially prioritize that type of weaponry instead of -- perhaps in addition to in the future sending that equipment. john kirby said the review by government agencies on whether to send those deep-strike
12:18 pm
missiles is under way. no decision has been made. it remains on the table. for now, there is a belief within the administration based on briefings from the u.s. military that that is not what is most pressing at this exact moment in time. >> kayla, stand by. we understand president zelenskyy is set to arrive at the white house within minutes. we will bring that to you live. we want to expand the conversation with cnn national security analyst beth saner. beth, what will you be watching for in this meeting with the white house? >> we won't know too much about it. there won't be a long press conference or anything like that. this is very much inside baseball about president zelenskyy really chollaborating and talking to president biden, strategizing about next steps, plan bs, how is this going to unfold in terms of assistance
12:19 pm
over the next few months and what they're going to do for the longer term. there's a lot at stake right now. they're plotting how to maneuver these difficult waters. >> what are you expecting to come out of congress? how are you expecting this to be maneuvered by republicans? they're very much the ones at odds when it comes to support. >> right. i mean, it looks increasingly likely that this supplemental won't be passed in this near term. then it shifts everything to trying to get this passed by the end of the year. that is definitely not an optimal situation. you know, i think it's probably less than 50% chance right now that it will pass in the near term. it means disruptions. it means problems for u.s. companies big and small that
12:20 pm
support the effort. a continuing resolution is really bad and very costly for americans. you know, if it's passed by the end of the year, then i think that, you know, in general ukraine will be okay. if it's not, there are real second and third effects in terms of funding from international institutions. imf money may not go forward. world bank money may not be able to be used. what will the rest of the world do if the united states starts to cut back? this really becomes much more of a life and death situation for how ukraine will be able to prosecute this war and ultimately if we cut off aid, they'll lose. >> the question of how that aid is scheduled is a big part of the negotiations under way on capitol hill, the spending fight, whether it should be part of a bigger spending package or its own individual bill. beth, i want to ask you about
12:21 pm
one of the claims from republicans that are hesitant to send more aid to ukraine. one of them being congressman mike walls of florida. he talked about this perception that's plaguing the ukrainian leadership regarding corruption and recently volodymyr zelenskyy fired many of his deputy defense ministers. how big a part is dispelling the notion that some of the top leadership in ukraine as a part of corruption thwarts zelenskyy's plea here? >> they're appointing an ig person that will oversee that aid. there's no evidence of corruption with u.s. arments, but there is some regarding purchases of food and things
12:22 pm
like that. zelenskyy's taken a hard line on this because it's key to eu membership. they have to deal with these things to move forward with that. the ukrainian people, 77% of them, hold zelenskyy responsible for ongoing corruption in ukraine. they want change. zelenskyy wants change. there will be change, but not always at the pace that all of us want because it's like trying to, you know, fix the airplane while it's at flight. they're at war. it adds more problems. >> certainly. kayla, at the white house there is -- we're hearing from some republicans who are dismayed by this degree of aid going to ukraine, or they don't want to be on the hook for more as they anticipate after more there will be even more. is there any sense from the white house that they need to prepare zelenskyy for the fact
12:23 pm
that this aid is finite and at a certain point he has to make a decision? there is a deadline in a way for ukraine's progress. >> reporter: breonna, i think every time that conversation comes up the white house, the u.s. and ukraine, are dealing with a new set of facts based on where the country is in the conflict at that moment in time. jake sullivan, national security adviser, told reporters today the $24 billion request that the white house has made essentially would sustain the war from the end of september, the end of the government's fiscal year, through the end of the calendar year, but the administration has begun conversations with congress to talk about what would be needed after that and what the u.s. government's assessment is about how much aid ukraine could need to sustain the war beyond the end of this year. some of those conversations are already happening, but there's
12:24 pm
an acknowledgment that war is unpredictable and they don't know what the state of play on the ground will be at that time and what ukraine's needs will be and the conversation will evolve even though they're trying to anticipate that now. >> i want to go back to fred in zaporizhzhia. something struck me about what beth was noting about how aid from the united states could impact aid from others. there was big news from poland and its decision on supplying arms to ukraine. bring us up to speed with that. >> reporter: you're right. poland which was maybe the staunchest ally of the ukrainians, even before russia's invasion, today announced they were going to completely stop giving weapons to the ukrainians for the foreseeable future. they said they would deliver the weapons they already pledged and
12:25 pm
the ukrainians have bought some weapons from poland as well. aside from that, there's going to be none of that going on. a lot of that goes back between a dispute over grain exports. poland has filed a lawsuit at the world trade organization. there was a bit of a spat between these two countries. poland is right before a very crucial election of the governing party. some believe that will play a role as well. this is a very staunch ally and one that president biden said has been instrumental to helping the ukraineiukrainians. they're now saying they're going to cut off their weapon supply to ukraine. i think the u.s., of course, plays an oversized role in that. there are a lot of european countries who have taken steps
12:26 pm
to provide additional weapons to ukraine because the u.s. has done so. we said the precondition for them giving additional weapons to ukraine is that the united states does so as well. case in point is battle tanks. we were talking about leopard 2 main battle tanks from germany going to ukraine. the germans said we'll do this if the u.s. gives abrams tanks as well. it took that for the germans to say, okay, we'll allow german tanks to go into ukraine as well. the same goes for multiple rocket launching systems. if the u.s. curbs its support, that could have a chilling effect on other nations, certainly european nations giving weapons to the ukrainians. it's something the ukrainians are aware of. we can see that as president
12:27 pm
zelenskyy has been in the u.s. at meetings today. in that interview with wolf blitzer, he said the ukrainians are extremely grateful for the support from the united states, but they need more to stay in the fight. the ukrainians from what we're seeing -- we've been on the southern front here a lot. they say there are immediate needs they have. some of that is really basic stuff. a lot of artillery ammo, himar ammo to stay in the fight. they also need mine-clearing equipment and also missiles for longer term stuff. we see the ukrainians have, indeed, in the past couple weeks, couple months, increased their own capabilities at long-distance strikes. we saw them hit targets in moscow with the drone fleet
12:28 pm
they've built up. today they claim they hit a russian airfield in crimea using a ukrainian missile called the neptune. they have longer distance capabilities, the ukrainians, but they say they need a lot of artillery ammo, vehicles to stay here in the fight. every nation that says it's going to stop providing them, especially a key one like poland which has a border with ukraine, that's a big blow and something ukrainians have noticed and they're trying to come to some sort of agreement with poland. that's why this visit is so important for volodymyr zelenskyy. that's why we've seen him go to congress, meet the members of congress there, go to capitol hill and now with president biden to keep that aid going. the ukrainian understand for their survival on the battlefield and certainly if they want to keep their counteroffensive going, which
12:29 pm
has been slow so far -- you know, when we're on the frontlines we see the morale remains how. they say right now they're the ones that have the momentum. they're the ones taking the initiative. it's not them defending against the russians. it's the russians defending against them. they say that in itself is worth a lot. of course many people here believe this war is going to go on for a very long time and the ukrainians need the u.s. to stay in the fight and keep supporting them if they are going to have a chance to pull off larger territorial gains. >> when you talk to people, fred, in ukraine do they understand the possibility of -- i mean, obviously they're confronting this real situation with poland. they need ammo and poland is now saying, hey, we're only going to give you the ammo we promised before we made this decision to stop shipments. that's obviously very real.
12:30 pm
are they considering in ukraine that they have to come up with a plan for what happens if that isn't just a poland issue, if that becomes a u.s. issue, if, you know, donald trump were to be elected president, certainly that's something that could turn off the spigot? these are things they must be considering, the political realities that would affect them on the battlefield. >> reporter: the realities for them on the battlefield and existential realities for them. we speak to soldiers on the frontlines and your every day ukrainian that we meet on the streets that we deal with as we're on the ground. it's a grave concern to them. there are a lot of people who are concerned about the next presidential election and what could happen after that. they also say for them it's an existential fight and it's a fight that's going to continue.
12:31 pm
i spoke to a soldier today about this. they say they have no other choice than to go on the battlefield. he said, i don't want to go to war. i don't want to be at war. they say right now there simply is no other choice for their future, for the future of their children. they understand they need to find a way to keep weapons flowing into this country and to su supply them with weapons going forward. the u.s., of course, by far is their most important ally in doing that. that's why you're seeing president zelenskyy make such a big effort. they understand there could be a point where they're going to have either depend on others or depend on themselves. i think you're seeing them in the long term trying to build up those capabilities. there are western arms companies talking about moving manufacturing or at least moving some soft repair of weapons here on to ukrainian territory.
12:32 pm
of course, with all the risks that encompasses as well. there are some european companies talking about longer term aid for ukraine. the ukrainians understand in the end they're dependent on the goodwill of countries like the united states and the united states seeing themselves in this fight and seeing themselves -- seeing this as an important issue to the united states, a fundamental issue to the united states. we can see not just president zelenskyy making that point, but other ukrainian politicians and ukrainian military leaders. look at the head of the ukrainian general staff making that point again and again, that they're thankful for the weapons they're getting. they'll need more of them. they'll need it for a long period of time. one of the things that we've seen over the past couple weeks, past couple months, the ukrainians are saying with the cou
12:33 pm
counteroffensive the way it's going, it could take a large period of time. they have a bit of momentum going on right now on the battlefield. they're still pretty far away from cutting off crimea from the russians making a breakthrough in the eastern part of the country as well. the people are extremely motivated. they're saying they don't want to give up territory. they don't want to have negotiated solutions with the russians where they give up territory like crimea. that's something in public opinion here in this country simply is not in the cards. of course, they also know that all of that -- making all that happen or trying to make all that happen is very much also in the hands of countries like the u.s. and their will to continue to supply ukraine with the weapons that are extremely sophisticated and extremely expensive. >> fred, stand by.
12:34 pm
we want to be transparent with viewers, we've been told twice we were getting a two-minute warning that president zelenskyy would arrive. we're told his car is close. you see the doors opening on the south lawn of the white house. there is president biden and first lady jill biden. we'll listen in as president zelenskyy of ukraine arrives at the white house at a critical time during his defending his country against russia's invasion of ukraine. there's not much to listen to but the birds right now. we were told the car was arriving. we're going to fill the space until it does.
12:35 pm
something to notable to me, beth, is the question of what victory looks like in crimea. it's a question that a lot of house republicans certainly have. let's pause now as the car arrives at the white house carrying ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. let's listen. >> mr. president. >> mr. president .
12:36 pm
>> reporter: mr. zelenskyy, can you achieve peace in ukraine? >> reporter: mr. president, how important is this visit? >> reporter: president zelenskyy, can you -- >> there you have it. president volodymyr zelenskyy and his wife going into the white house with the president and the first lady for a critical meeting. he has a tough sell here in washington. a lot of republicans whose support for the war in ukraine and american funding for it has waned. he has an ally in president. >> a lot of house republicans
12:37 pm
are in line with public polling. the majority of americans are critical with sending more aid to ukraine. president zelenskyy was asked how important is this meeting? he said, quote, extremely important. we'll track all the details of zelenskyy's visit to the white house and we'll get you updated when we have more information. ststay with "cnn news cecentral" we're back in a few minutes. liberty mutual customized my car insurance and i saved hundreds. with the money i saved, i started a dog walking business. oh. i started a dog wal[dog barks]ss. no it'just a bunny! only pay for what you need. i got into debt in college, and no matter how much i paid, it followed me everywhere. so i consolidated it into a low-rate personal loan from sofi. get a personal loan with low low fixed rates, and borrow up to $100k.

if you're just joining us we've been tracking breaking news about a deadly high school bus crash in orange county, new york. we have new information to share with you. polo sandoval has been tracking this since it happened. polo, i understand we have a break down of numbers of exactly how many people were hurt. >> reporter: it comes from the ems company involved in responding to this accident that took place this afternoon. according to them, 49 students were injured as a result of this
12:42 pm
accident in orange county, new york, 3 severely, 45, according to officials, only suffered bumps and bruises and were walking around the scene. sadly one person, at least one person has died, though, they didn't offer any additional information on whether it may have been a student that was being transported on that bus. going back to what we learned in the last hour, we understand this was part of one of three buses that left long island headed to pennsylvania earlier today to participate in band camp when this accident happened. now investigators are trying to find out exactly what caused the charter bus carrying dozens of high school students to crash, leading to the death of one and multiple injuries. boris? >> polo, just to reiterate 49 students hurt, 45 of them with walking injuries, 1 person
12:43 pm
