>> mental health is a complex issue. the existing body of scientific work has not shown a link between using social media and young people having worse mental health outcomes. >> i definitely raise an eyebrow at that, but one clinical psychologist says there maybe no causal link, but other data is easy to interpret. >> he can use the word causal because he knows we cannot do studies where we put children in front of harmful content and see whether or not it hurts them. so this data shows that the correlation between when these products are coming out and the effect that it's having on our teenagers. when he says mental health is a complex issue, that was the part that really got to me because it's a simple issue. we're either well or unwell. >> we want to warn you now about some disturbing, graphic images posted online wednesday.
1:08 am
a man in a u.s. state of pennsylvania is facing murder charges accused of decapitating his own father. officials say he posted a video of a politically charged rant where he appeared to be holding bag of the severed head. it was viewed thousands of times on you nub before it was taken down. danny freeman has more on this grizzlie case. >> it's a horrible, tragic incident. >> reporter: around 7:00 p.m. tuesday evening, middletown township police got a call say ing she found her husband dead. according to a criminal complaint obtained by cnn, when officers arrived, they found an elderly male in a bathroom with blood around him who had been decapitated. officers found a machete and a large kitchen knife in the bathtub. court documents said police found the head in plastic bag in a cooking pot in the next room. only then did police learn of his son's video posted to
1:09 am
youtube, which stayed up on the site for about five hours before being taken down. in the video, he rants about the biden administration, the border, and calls his father a traitor to his country because he was a federal employee. saying, quote, america is rotting from the inside out because of far left woke mobs. justin then raised his dead father's head on camera. >> i am very sad for the family. i'm very sad for the community. and also for the people that knew him. >> while police were at his home, he was heading west. a spokesperson for the pennsylvania department of military and veterans affairs told cnn at around 9:00 p.m., his cell phone was traced to just outside of the national guard base. pennsylvania's national guard h quarters, nearly 100 miles from the crime scene. he was armed with a gun, but was ultimately arrested without incident. as authorities investigate, a
1:10 am
former roommate tells cnn he believed, quote, the government was out to get him. he also filed multiple lawsuits suggesting he was angry about his status as a white man. this disturbing incident renews concerns about the risk of political violence. >> the kind of overheated, deeply politicized, extreme rhetoric you hear sometimes in this country actually has an impact on these marginalized people with extremist views. >> reporter: danny freeman, pennsylvania. as the u.s. prepares its response to the drone attack on american trooms, iran is issuing a sturn warning saying any threats made by the u.s. will not go unanswered. that word from the chief of the islamic revolutionary guard one day after president biden said he made a decision on how to respond to the drone strike that killed three u.s. soldiers and injured dozens more. but the white house isn't saying
1:11 am
exact ly what that response wil look like. >> we'll respond on our own time, on our own schedule. the first thing you see won't be the last thing. >> meantime, the white house is formally assign ed blame for th drone strike saying the u.s. believes the umbrella group is behind it. the attack in jordan on sunday targeted a small u.s. military base and mark ed the first time u.s. troops have died under direct fire in the middle east since hamas' attack onnist real. the u.n.'s key agency is facing a crisis that threatens its existence. benjamin netanyahu is now calling for an end to unrwa. he also specifically is accusing unrwa officials of being c complicit in the hamas attack against israel. his comments come as sweden joins a growing list of
1:12 am
countries that suspended funding after the claims that they were involved in the massacre. u.n. secretary general says he was, quote, personally horrified by the allegations, but the u.n. acted immediately and terminated the staffers. and if unrwa is shut down, the situation in gaza could become catastrophic. >> i end this with the importance of keeping unrwa's vital work going to meet the dire needs of civilians in gaza and to ebb its services to refugees, unrwa is the backbone of all humanitarian response in gaza. >> the palestine red crescent says the situation around the hospital remains precarious and the sounds of explosions and gunfire can be heard regularly from the hospital. the prcs says this video was
1:13 am
taken on tuesday and a day after entering the complex. snipers are on the roovs of the houses surrounding the hospital. the aid group says even though the hospital's equipment is low, the defense force prohibiting anyone from going out on the street, even to retrieve the body of an employee who was killed outside the hospital door. cnn can't independently confirm these claims, and has reached out to the idf for comment. we are following these developments. elliot, let's return to unrwa. specifically, what prime minister benjamin netanyahu has said about its existence and if it was to end its presence in gaza, what would happen then? >> that is a very big question. but i suppose we just take a stp back and to borrow a phrase from the sucecretary general, unrwa
1:14 am
doesn't happen in a vacuum. they have had an ease u.n. easy relationship. everything from what it sees as the constant vilification of israel for the human rights council and being singled out in contrast to every other country on the planet. so that's the u.n. in general. as far as unrwa is concerned, israel has always hbeen uncomfortable with it because this is an agency set up to provide a aid to palestinians. it confers refugee status on those who lost their homes in 1948, but all of their descendents. it's the only agency to do so. says keeping palestinians in refugee camps perpetuates their status and prevents them integrating into the countries where they are and it helps to give false hope they will be able to return to their homes inside iz really. today they say it's a nonstarter. what these allegations that they
1:15 am
have presented to the u.n. and the united states is a kind of smoking gun. benjamin netanyahu addressing diplomats yesterday saying that unrwa's mission has to end. not just because of the dozen or so employees it says were actually actively participating in the massacres of october 7th, but it's rotten to the core. it's not just a few bad apples, is what israel is saying. but what would replace it? the secretary general saying these palestinians, almost 2 million of them, are completely dependent on unrwa and humanitarian aid. i suppose what israel needs to be careful of get ting what it wishes for is that if unrwa isn't there, if it can't continue to operate because it hand got fund ing because of th frozen funding commitments that now in place, what would replace it? would israel be responsible? israel doesn't want to be
1:16 am
responsible for all these pales palestinians. so the question is what would replace it and who would be responsible? i think israels to be clear it doesn't want to be responsible. the question is what would come in its place and we really don't know. >> thank you so much. according to u.s. central command, american forces have carried out a new round of airstrikes in the yemen. this time against houthi drones and a control station. this is the latest in a series of attacks meant to destroy the weapons of iran-backed rebel groups before they can be l launched at shipping lanes. it follows a close call in the red sea. we're told the houthi missile came within a mile of the u.s. destroyer before it was shot down. that is the closest any houthi attack has ever come to a u.s. warship. and those attacks in the red sea have had an unexpected consequence for ship full of livestock. right now, thousands of sheep and cattle are stranded in a ship off the coast of western
1:17 am
australia in the middle of a heat wave. 15 days into the trip, the ship had to divert because of security concerns. sky news australia brings us this update. >> the ship arrived at 4:00 a.m. on thursday after lingering off the west coast for more than two days. 14,000 sheep and 2,000 cattle are on board thought to be worth about $2 million. the department of agriculture says the animals are currently being replenished with supplies to ensure the ongoing health and welfare of the livestock is upheld. no animals are currently being unloaded. the vessel, which was heading to the middle east, departed on january 5. a few weeks later, the federal government made the decision to divert the vessel because of ongoing tensions in the red sea. the ship had been idol off the coast because export hearse to undergo a range of biosecurity
1:18 am
measures. animal activists are concerned about the welfare of the live sheep and cattle the on board. >> i think the export of live animals is outrageous. it's done in order to maximize income for people who already are very rich. i think it's quite outrageous to continue to allow animals to suffer in this way. >> they are in very good condition. there are no sick animals. they are coming off the ship to reduce the density to take the longer voyage around a the cape. so there are no actual animal welfare concerns. >> the department of agriculture said two vets on board to assess the situation and so far, no health and welfare concerns have been report ed. the exporters registered vet also remains on board and continues to report back to the department daily. it's another scorcher today. temperatures are expected to exceed 40 degrees for a second consecutive day. >> thanks for that report.

the vote and biden, 42%. european leaders are set to begin their debate this hour on what some consider a make or break issue for ukraine in its future. they arrive in brussels about now, and some of them have already awe arrived for a council meeting about the future aid for kyiv. aide has been stalled for weeks because of internal disputes, but that's happening as russia is on the offensive and ukraine needs all the help it can get. the eu says it expects to deliver only about half of the artillery shells promised to kyiv by march and we know they were already lacking when it came to the ammo. melissa bell joins us live from paris. are we hearing there will be an agreement on aid to ukraine this summer? >> this is aid that's been blocked since december when the hungarian leader put his veto against the latest tranche being
1:25 am
release d. 50 billion euros, that was blocked at a time when you saw in washington about its funding for ukraine. as you mentioned, at a critical time on the battlefield when the ukrainian hopes of breaking that stalemate seem to diminish by the day. there is hope this morning as the europeane leaders arrive thatment some deal will be struck, whether or not it includes some sidestepping in order for the 26 leaders to reach a deal to allow money to get to kyiv. there seems to be a fair amount of optimism that some deal can be struck. that money can be released extremely urgent for kyiv. >> we're seeing huge protests as well outside, where these meetings are taking place in brussels thes. tell us what their message is and why it's happening now.
1:26 am
>> this is a summit of european leaders that was meant to be entirely devoted to unblocking the aid to ukraine. it's been rather take over or its agenda has by this growing anger you have seen over the course of the last couple weeks across european countries from portugal to spain, france, belgium, germany, the netherlands, all the way to greece. a great deal of angers from farmers that has made itself to the center of brussels, about a thousand tractors gathered there as leaders meet. we'd expect they will be discussing what can be done at a european level. what's bye-bye interesting is you have in the individual countries anger that is specific to the issues that farmers fate face there, but what eunites thm is the frustration. european registrationlations at a time they say when the eu is also allowing other parts of the world and unfeign competition. so united in that anger that is descending on brussels and that

1:33 am
natural gas pipelines, our transportation systems. >> he didn't say they are targeting those systems now, but they are lurking inside critical in infrastructure to use that access and be ready to strike at a later date. >> you identify targets. you identify the way in. that's what the chinese are doing. >> reporter: u.s. officials have been on to the chinese hackers and have been trying to head them off. the fbi and justice department using a court order have taken steps to protect hundreds of devices in the u.s. devices connected to infrastructure that are being targeted by beijing's hackers. steps include removing malicious code from those devices. but the hackers are still believed to be deeply entrenched in u.s. infrastructure and security officials say that's partly america's fault. >> the truth is that chinese cyber actors have taken advantage of very basic flaws in our technology. we have made it easy on them. >> how have chinese hackers been let in the door to america's
1:34 am
plants, pipelines and servers? >> the first thing is that the chinese have figured out that if you go after small offices and home offices, people aren't going to be as protected as they are at work. and you get into somebody's home office and then you can get to their work network. the second is, and this is ba bg theme for the administration, we write software without thinking about security. >> reporter: what officials now fear if china invades taiwan and the u.s. tries to respond militarily, the chinese hacking efforts could hinder that response. >> they can cripple the logistics that support our forces in east asia. rails, pipelines, airports, they could make it hard to support troops who are deployed overseas. >> reporter: chinese authorities have denied engaging in any hacking, often saying that china itself is a frequent target of cyber attacks. cnn reported that xi jinping told president biden in november
1:35 am
that china would not try to disrun the u.s. presidential election. to that, fbi director wray just said he doesn't trust those assurances. brian todd, cnn, washington. watching a story out of idaho three people have been killed and nine injured after an airplane hangar sunday suddenly collapsed. officials say the hangar was privately owned. the cause of the collapse is now under investigation. five of the injured people were in critical condition and taken to hospitals. for the second time, alec baldwin has formally entered a not guilty plea to charges of involuntary manslaughter. this is in connection with the shooting in 2021 on the set of the movie "rust" in new mexico. similar charges against the 65-year-old star and producer were dropped last year as part of the conditions of his release, baldwin way not possess any firearms or drink alcohol

elmo is happy right now. see? that's happy. got that? good. okay, now el the month will show you somebody who is sad. >> meet street's elmo is looking for someone sad and it turned out he found more than one person who isn't feeling too great. that discovery came after he posted this check-in asking how is everyone doing. that simple question prompted a flood of unexpected responses that are putting the focus back on mental health. one person posted, resisting the
1:42 am
urge to tell elmo i am kind of sad. another wrote, i'm at my lowest. thanks for asking. the last post, they are at their limit. joining us now from london is the ceo of the mental health foundation. it's great to have you with us this morning. thank you for being here. >> great to be here. how are you? >> i am doing very well, thank you. i'm a little grumpy, if i'm honest, but i'm generally in a good place. so i have many questions about this. earlier on in this show, we were talking about social media and its impact on children and teenagers, in particular. i read a lot of studies that have talked about how even though the platforms are meant to connect us to other people that obviously they don't have that actual impact on our brain and our physical health. is it true we are living in a more difficult time for people's
1:43 am
mental health because of technology and the modern world, or just that everybody tends to think their time is the toughest, in some ways? >> i think it's a great question. one we're wrestling with and certainly we know that if online spaces are safer and less toxic, hateful or abusive behavior, that's a safer place to be. i think what elmo shows us is actually technology is neutral. it depends on how we use it. the kind of purpose it serves in our lives. social media for the first time in human history can connect us to people outside the 150 people that are in our immediate orbit. and that does have a positive role to play in terms of reminding us that our personal experiences, maybe we're not the only ones liveing through that r feeling that. so that's one of the positive things that social media can provide us. social media can be a force for
1:44 am
good, but it needs to be used safely, proportionately so it doesn't have a negative impact on our mental health. >> i feel very remissed i didn't ask how you were.com. >> i'm doing well, thank you. i had a good night's sleep, which is really important to me. and i'm feeling good in myself. i think that is the really a good foundation for my day. thank you. >> absolutely. that's excellent. so when i think about people responding to posts, for example, elmo asking people how they are, is it a function of modern society of how healthy is it that people do feel it's easier to respond to that through typing or posting a comment that it might be to sit down with a best friend or a colleague and say, actually, i'm struggling. >> yeah. it's quite revealing, isn't it?
1:45 am
for many of us, we know we look at the big studies, we know that one of the best predictors of fulfilling a healthy life is the quality of our relationships. and the key to the quality of our relationships is the ability to be able to show up with the truth about where we're at and what we're experiencing. and many of us don't have enough of those relationships. we are living in a society which for many of us is hypercompetitive. it pulls us apart and many people are experiencing heaviness. you talked about the level of distress. it's really difficult to tell ev. every generation has faced significant challenge. but in terms of having opportunities to connect and to find that nonjudgmental,
1:46 am
nonthreatening space, many of us haven't gotten enough of that. the elmo tweet revealed that we need those nonthreatening people in our lives. >> how important is it not just to talk about the problems that you're having and have the opportunity to vent and share that you might be struggling, but also to focus on what's going well and mental resilience, because they are surely two parts of the mental health conversation that are equally important. >> right. so we often talk about helping people to understand if you imagine your mental health is like a glass of water, how high is that water? what could you do? part is how to reduce the stress and how to cope with the difficult feelings, but part of it is how you make that glass bigger collectively and individually. so that we can contain what we
1:47 am
feel. a really significant part of that is naming the good things. but when you're struggling, it's really difficult to also have a conversation about what should i be grate ful for. that's often something that you feel guilty about. sometimes we just need a space to own the difficult and negative and someone to hear that and name it. and so i think what elmo showed is there's not enough space to just be real about our experiences. so we do need space for that. >> lastly to you, our viewers stretch as cross continents with different cultures and societies and pressures, but if you were going to give people three basic tips of how to look after their mental health, deal with the negative and positive, what would that be in any universal perspective? >> it's a great point.
1:48 am
probably the first thing is that we need to feel safe in order to have good mental health. and so ways in which you can help offer safety or provide safety is really important. and spotting, we're safer than we think. reminding our brains that we have more support. so the second thing is reaching out to people, who are you going to connect with and who are you going to offer that connection to is something that will always strengthen. and then identifying shame in our lives and not allowing shame to prevent us from being able to share what we experience. shame is such a big driver of the suppression of what we feel. so i would say get safe, connect, and don't the let shame the dominate your life or be in the driving seat. >> thank you so much for joining us and having that conversation with me this morning.
