breaking news from ukraine. an attack on a train station. the country is bracing for a major russian offensive in the eastern part of the country. james longman tracking it all from kyiv. good morning, james. >> reporter: yeah, good morning, george. kyiv has been saved basically by a russian invasion, although it is now creeping back to life. you can see this office block now, the cleanup has begun. but russia's attacks now are focused on the east of this country, a devastating attack on a train station there and a warning, these images are very distressing. this morning, the kramatorsk train station hit. civilians crowding the station every day after being warned to evacuate before russia's renewed offensive in eastern ukraine. the attack left at least 39 dead and 87 wounded. speaking before nato ukraine's foreign minister warned that the battle for the region will be devastating. >> the battle for donbas will remind you of second world war with large operations, maneuvers, involvement of thousands of tanks, armored vehicles, planes, artillery. >> reporter: president zelenskyy called for even bolder sanctions

and additional military help. saying ukraine needs weapons that will allow us to win on the battlefield and this will be the strongest sanction against russia of all possible ones. they want to stop a repeat of this, the northern town of borodyanka reduced to rubble by russian planes. recovery teams finding bodies under flattened homes. ukrainian president zelenskyy has warned the findings here could be worse than the atrocities already uncovered in bucha. we saw for ourselves the horror in that town. we were inside this apartment building which was struck by the russians. he shows us his friend incinerated by the blaze it caused. he tells us, i want the whole world to know the truth about what's happening here. i only blame the russian military for this. maria cries in the kitchen of her bucha son, remembering her son shot dead by russian forces. he would run up and down helping people in the basement, she says. i can tell she's very proud of

him. "how can i not be proud of my son when he was such a great person?" russia has been voted off the united nations human rights council, and now the european union has approved a fifth round of sanctions freezing the assets of several russian banks banning access to eu ports. also this morning, a major admission from russia. >> we have significant losses of troops and it's a huge tragedy for us. >> reporter: the true number of russian losses is difficult to know but the u.s. estimates more than 10,000 have been killed there. russian attacks elsewhere continue. in kharkiv black plumes of smoke in the sky after another russian missile attack strikes a bread factory. now, ukraine has done an extraordinary job of defending itself so far with western help, but the fight in the east will be different. russia already occupies large parts of that region. so they'll be better able to resupply and support their troops. that is why ukraine wants so much more help now. george? >> it will be a fierce fight, thanks very much.

fox news reporter ben hall who was severely injured in ukraine has shared the latest on his condition. he sent out a tweet saying he feels lucky be to alive and thanked the people that helped him. michael? >> thank you, george. turning now to that historic moment, the senate voting to confirm judge ketanji brown jackson. she'll be the first black woman in our nation's history to serve on the supreme court. our congressional correspondent rachel scott is on capitol hill. good morning, rachel. >> reporter: michael, good morning. there have been 115 supreme court justices. a black woman has never even been nominated or confirmed until now. and in just a few hours, judge ketanji brown jackson will celebrate her historic confirmation at the white house with the president who campaigned on a promise to diversify the court. this morning, judge ketanji brown jackson cementing her place in history, becoming the first black woman to be confirmed to the supreme court. >> on this vote the yeas are 53. the nays are 47. this nomination is confirmed. [ applause ]

>> reporter: cheers erupting in the chamber as democrats rose to their feet with applause. republicans headed for the door. mitt romney of utah, one of three republicans to vote yes, standing alone, the only gop senator clapping. over at the white house, president biden watching that final tally come in with the judge by his side. >> the nomination is confirmed. >> all right! >> reporter: an exhale from jackson when the outcome was clear. senator raphael warnock acknowledging a moment 233 years in the making. >> for my 5-year-old daughter and for so many young women in our country, but really, if we're thinking about it right, for all of us seeing judge jackson ascend to the supreme court reflects the promise of progress on which our democracy rests. >> reporter: and across the

country, young americans were watching too. [ cheers ] >> finally a black woman on the spreme court. oh, my goodness. >> reporter: as for what comes next you have that ceremony at the white house, but judge jackson will not join the bench until justice stephen breyer officially retires later this summer. she will not change the balance of the court but she will change the makeup for the first time in our nation's history, four of the nine justices will be women. linsey? >> transformational moment for the court and country. rachel, thanks so much. now to those growing concerns about covid spreading in the capitol. senators raphael warnock and susan collins both confirm they tested positive after attending that confirmation vote for judge jackson. this comes on the heels of house speaker nancy pelosi also testing positive shortly after spending time with the president. our senior white house correspondent mary bruce has all the details. good morning, mary. >> reporter: good morning, linsey. yeah, the house speaker is in quarantine this morning.

we are told she is not experiencing any symptoms and that the 82-year-old has been vaccinated and is fully boosted. but this is raising real concerns about the president. biden and pelosi were seen side by side at two separate white house events this week. the speaker standing there right over the president's shoulder. the two of them even exchanging a kiss on the cheek. but despite all of this, the white house says the president is not considered a close contact based on the latest cdc guidelines and biden did test negative again on wednesday. but the president has really been ramping up the packed maskless events at the white house and the white house tells us he is taking some additional precautions. for instance, anyone who does come into close contact with the president has to be tested ahead of time. linsey? >> we're still learning more officials around washington are testing positive. >> reporter: speaker pelosi is just one of more than a dozen a-listers in washington who have now tested positive. by our count this morning at least 17 politicians and people close to the president have now tested positive. many of these cases trace back to a big formal event in

washington over the weekend. now, the list includes two cabinet secretaries, the commerce secretary and the attorney general, many members of congress, including susan collins and raphael warnock, both of whom were at that confirmation vote yesterday and also one of the vice president's top aides. it does mean that kamala harris is now considered a close contact and that has raised questions about why she presided over that vote yesterday without a mask, whether she was following the cdc guidelines. but her office tells us it was all okayed by her doctor because she was keeping a bit of distance and she put that mask on right after the vote. >> mary bruce reporting from the white house, thanks so much. george? now toking ns l they've kil opened fire on a busy street in tel aviv killing two, wounding ten others. it's part of a new wave of violence that has the country on edge. will reeve is in london with the latest. good morning, will. >> reporter: good morning, george. this is the cultural pulse of tel aviv thrumming with bars and restaurants and night life.

last night a gunman went there and opened fire in the fourth deadly attack in israel in recent weeks, setting off a frantic manhunt. overnight after a six-hour manhunt israeli authorities catching and killing this man suspected of opening fire on a bustling tel aviv street. at least two killed and several more wounded. police and emergency crews racing to the scene of what the israeli prime minister called a terrorist attack on the vibrant street in central tel aviv. >> i see a bunch of people running and i hear loud noises so i ran this way and was hiding under the bar. >> reporter: this video showing one person getting help as sirens blare. glass shattered on the ground, chairs scattered about. this victim speaking from a hospital bed says he was passing by a bar when shots rang out and he got hit. last night's shooting, the latest in a spate of deadly violence in israel. at least 13 killed in targeted

attacks in over two weeks. tensions historically high in the region around the muslim holy month of ramadan. isis has claimed responsibility for those attacks but the claims have not been confirmed. >> over the past ten days we've been on high alert and we will remain on high alert as long as necessary. >> reporter: this time last year protests and clashes between palestinians and israelis in jerusalem during ramadan led to an 11-day war. now israeli security forces say they are on high alert and will remain so for as long as necessary. michael? >> all right, will reeve, thank you. now to those disturbing arrests in washington. the two men accused of impersonating federal agents and giving gifts to secret service agents are due back to court today after prosecutors described finding a stash of weapons in their possession. our chief global affairs correspondent martha raddatz is in washington with more for us. good morning, martha. >> reporter: good morning, michael. this morning, the mystery deepens. those two defendants accused of showering secret service agents with gifts and housing said in

court they had no money for a lawyer. so investigators still trying to figure out where the funding came from and who might be behind all this. this morning, stunning new allegations about the two men accused of brazenly impersonating homeland security agents and duping members of the secret service, allegations now sparking national security concerns. the men in court yesterday. federal prosecutors saying that over the course of two years, haider ali, along with his accomplice, arian taherzadeh, provided secret service agents with lavish gifts, free apartments totalling $40,000, iphones, a flat screen tv, surveillance systems and that taherzadeh offered to buy a $2,000 assault rifle for a member of the first lady's protective detail. the government saying one of the men claimed to have a connection

to the isi, which is the pakistani intelligence service and agents found visas showing a history of travel to pakistan and iran. four secret service employees are now suspended. the investigation still under way. fbi agents seen gathering evidence at the d.c. apartment building where the defendants allegedly operated and prosecutors say searches of their homes and cars have already turned up weapons, ammunition, body armor, gas masks, a drone and a binder with a list of every resident in their d.c. apartment complex. neighbors shaken. >> scary. you know, i just came home and there are just fbi agents there and i was, like, what's going on? >> reporter: a good question. a detention hearing is scheduled for today to determine whether the men should remain locked up. but with all those unanswered questions, prosecutors would very much like to see the men

stay behind bars. guys? >> a lot of questions. >> something about that scenario does not pass the smell test. turning to the oscars fallout, the academy set to meet in a few hours to discuss possible punishments for will smith after he slapped chris rock at the awards. chris connelly is in los angeles for us with the latest. good morning, chris. >> reporter: hey, good morning, linsey. yes, later today the academy board of governors set to convene via zoom to determine possible steps to take against will smith for what took place behind me at the 94th oscars, the slap heard round the world. 12 days and 12,000 hot takes after an enraged will smith struck chris rock on stage at the 94th oscars then remained inside the dolby theatre to accept a best actor oscar less than an hour later. the academy of motion picture arts and sciences board of governors will decide today what action it will take against the beleaguered 53-year-old star who

has issued an escalating series of apologies and resigned from the academy saying in part, the list of those i have hurt is long and includes chris, his family, many of my dear friends and loved ones, all those in attendance and global audiences at home. >> the question is, what can they do now? he kind of took their thunder away from them. >> reporter: mounting criticism placed pressure on the academy to act. yet, as the academy itself has noted, expelling smith from the academy or suspending him is not an option because smith has already resigned. >> there's been lots of discussion about should you take his oscar back? let me tell you, first thing, that's not happening. there's very few options they have for punishment for will smith. >> reporter: the academy could prevent will smith from giving out the best actor oscar at the next ceremony but we'll have to see. a little difficult to tell. either way it will be unlikely to see him at the oscar ceremony any time soon, guys. >> i wouldn't bet on that.

thank you so much, chris. now to opening day for major league baseball. lots of excitement for the players to finally get back on the field after a bit of a delay. let's take a lookat these two big home runs. first watch as the cubs nico hoerner smashes the first home run of the season. the best part look at that fan's reaction after he catches the ball. that is what you call happy. and the diamondbacks also had a stellar walkoff home run by seth beer, and not only did seth hit it out the park with a dramatic end to the game on opening day, seth beer's game winner was on national beer day. >> look at that. coincidence. >> my man got timing. coming up tiger woods' remarkable return to the masters. he gets ready for day two. how quick thinking police save a 9-year-old boy kidnapped when his mom's car was stolen. first to danielle breezy fom our nashville affiliate wkrn, in for ginger and welcome to new york. >> good morning, guys.

>> you did a good job. you okay? >> yes. >> we've seen carjackings with kids in the back. whether the car jacker knew the child was in there or not, we've seen a spike in these type of cases. in fact, last year we had 34 amber alerts issued on carjackings where a child was involved. >> reporter: but technology can help. the find my iphone app is one of the many ways to track a missing child. the app works by using gps to show the realtime location of the tracked device on a map. experts say even an old phone can help a child in an emergency. >> what parents should be aware of is if they have an old cell their child. even if it doesn't have a data plan, that phone can still call 911. >> reporter: now that boy was reunited with his mom shortly thereafter. he was taken to the hospital as a precaution. he is just fine. police are trying to remind community members when you leave your car make sure it's locked

and take out all the valuables, especially what's most precious, your children. guys? >> absolutely. okay. thanks very much. >> you may want to keep the phone in the car, right, to help track it down with the iphone there. coming up next as hulu's "the girl from plainville" makes waves now the new details in the real case that inspired the tv show. felt overwhelming at times. but i never just found my way, i made it. so when i finished active therapy, i kept moving forward and did everything i could to protect myself from recurrence. verzenio is the first treatment in over 15 years to reduce the risk of recurrence for adults with hr-positive, her2-negative, node-positive, early breast cancer with a high chance of returning, as determined by your doctor when added to hormone therapy. hormone therapy works outside the cell while verzenio works inside to help stop the growth of cancer cells. diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection. at the first sign, call your doctor, start an antidiarrheal, and drink fluids.

>> good morning, thanks for having me. >> so what do you think about this? is this a good idea? should we ditch our scales? >> there's a lot of nuance and for the vast majority of us the umber on the scale is just that, a number on the scale. you know, it doesn't tell us anything about the person. it doesn't tell us anything about their metabolic health. doesn't tell us anything except how much they weigh. >> how can you if you're not keeping an eye on the scale make sure you're still healthy physically? >> so it's going to be different for everyone. there is no one size that fits all and i really have to say that. you know, in my practice what we talk to people about is finding their individual pattern of eating that honors who they are as well as their likes, dislikes and all of that has to be taken into consideration, not just that number on the scale. >> do you think there are some mental health benefits to actually not focusing on that number? >> absolutely. i mean, think about it, we have really been trained to get on the scale and assign a self-worth to whatever that

number is and i find that so detrimental. when you ditch the scale then you're really saying, listen, i am inherently fantastic. i have the right to be awesome and i am not tied to whatever that number is. so i think that it can absolutely boost people's mental health and be kind of very freeing for them. so in my practice like i said we really talk about finding what works for the individual. >> i will not be defined by a number. >> that's right. >> maya feller, we thank you so much as always. george. >> thank you. now to our series money smart the climate for home buyers is tougher than ever with many wondering if we're on the brink of a housing bubble. kevin o'leary is here with tips for buyers. first to rebecca jarvis for a look at the market. >> reporter: anyone who has tried to buy or sell a home has felt this. the supply is near record lows. houses are flying off the market with multiple offers well above asking and all adds up to surging prices and stress.

by pushing prices higher. >> reporter: and as spring heats up, zillow predicts they will too forecasting prices increasing by 20% in may. another factor hindering first-time buyers, outside investors. >> there are more investors involved in the housing market today. they're involved both in buying and in selling and so that means they're competing with other home buyers to buy up hopes on the market. >> reporter: some of the hottest areas in the housing market today, the sun belt, las vegas, austin and parts of florida, partly due to relocation during the pandemic. >> house prices in those areas are still relatively attractive and affordable compared to other regions even though they're seeing phenomenal price growth. >> reporter: some expert advice to nab that dream home. >> learning as much as you can about what your seller is looking for is important. it may be they're looking for someone who can bring a lot of cash and close quickly. understanding what your seller is looking for and trying to

markets you get to look at the comparables on the street which are all online of the great thing you do. research on your own but generally speaking putting in a bid 3% to 4% above ask is what's going to get the deal done along with just one condition, an inspection and 60-day close and so that's kind of the way it's working right now and i don't think it's going to change because the world's changed in the sense people don't need to live in the city anymore so we're seeing housing spikes in rural areas as well. it's really extraordinary. >> how do you figure out whether the buying this house is a proper reach for your budget or an overextension? >> there used to be a good rule that said don't spend more than 33% of your after tax income on your mortgage. you can throw that out the window now because many people are going up to 50% so if your combined income is $100,000, $70,000 after tax that means you

can spend about $3,000 a month on your mortgage. that's half your free cash flow income. that means you will have to budget around the edges, but you can get there and you'll own a home. now, the question is rates are going up right now and the assumption was just three months ago that we'd stop this increase in pricing that has not happened. the demand for housing is insatiable. i am in miami. we're up 21% year over year. that's after 20% the prior year so we've got an extraordinary situation everywhere. >> some people think that means we're in a bubble right now so they should wait to buy. what do you think about that? >> yeah, that was the strategy three years ago. that has not worked out at all. rents have increased dramatically so there's really nowhere to hide on this. the basic problem is that for almost 2 1/2 years, we stopped building houses in america. that's because of the pandemic. and supply chain problems just to get the raw materials, couldn't get them. so it's going to take a few years, i would say three, before things normalize and the three years is a long time.

i think if you want to own a home you just got to, you know, suck it up as they say and realize you're in a time when it's very, very hard to get a deal. but you got to live somewhere and do not spend more than 50% of your free cash flow after tax. that's the limit. >> kevin o'leary, thanks as always for your advice. to danielle breezy from wkrn. she is in for ginger. good morning, george. i want to tell you this. that same storm system that brought the thunder, lightning to new york city brought snow to northern new england. look at this. this is caribou, maine, what a gorgeous sight. hey, if you like clearing look at this sunrise from virginia beach. it's our surfline cameras a time lapse. man, i want to be on that beach right now. spring is back in full force as we head into next week. by tuesday we could be near 80 in d.c., 79 in philadelphia. up to 70 in boston >> i am true -- with your forecast.
