country's territory to russia. the ukrainians reflecting more confidence after recent success on the battlefield. ukrainians are proving to be a tough underdog, clawing back territory around kyiv, retaking a town east of the capital. and ukrainian officials say the key suburb of irpin. russia launched one of its earliest and most notorious attacks on civilians, killing a family escaping the fighting. the mayor says the suburb was liberated. but while russia is losing ground, or perhaps because of it, russian forces continue to carry out indiscriminate attacks against ukrainian towns and cities. in a hospital in kharkiv this morning, the hallways are full of ukrainians wounded by russian attacks. they are in the halls because rush dropped two bombs near the hospital blowing out the windows. this electrician was in his home

when suddenly russian forces, he says, bombed the area. i heard a whistle and then i lost consciousness, he says. he woke up to find most of his thigh muscle gone. the bone showing. he said he somehow managed to get his wife and daughter into the car and even drive. as they were leaving, russian forces hit the moving car. i felt the car lift up, andre says. his wife, 24 years old, and studying to be a hairdresser, told him, i'll be with you forever. it would be her final words. andre was recovered by ukrainian troops. his injured daughter taken by relatives, he has no idea. his wife's remains, he says, are still in the car, too dangerous to reach her for burial. >> reporter: why do you think this is happening? >> translator: i've thought a

white house monday, president biden stood by his comment, insisting that he was was sharing his anger personally, not any change in policy. >> i'm not walking anything back. i was expressing moral outrage i feel and i make no apologies for it. >> reporter: on monday the president argues that nobody believed he was talking about taking down vladimir putin. while some praised him for his blunt statement, critics slammed the ad lib remark as a gasp warning that ad lib or not it could escalate tensions right now just as they are trying to find a diplomatic solution to end this war. president biden saying his comment does not complicate diplomatic efforts, insisting putin is going to do what he's going to do regardless of the president's words, hoda? >> peter, thank you. florida "don't say gay" bill is officially law. the controversial legislation set to restrict what children are taught in school about sexuality and gender identity and this morning people on both

orientation or gender identity may not occur in kindergarten through grade three. leaving other grades up to so-called age appropriate standards. but it's not the legalese devastating some same-sex parents. it's the concept behind it. >> i thought here's something else that they're trying to do to keep us down, to set us apart, to make us in equal >> reporter: they have been embraced by their school community ever since their 12-year-old son started kindergarten. >> this bill won't stay in effect forever but it will be in effect along enough to communicate to the country florida isn't a place for you if you are different. >> reporter: the legislation proving so polarizing. one of the world's most prominent companies and a florida fixture, disney, watched employees walk out for days. after the ceo failed to condemn the bill immediately following the signing disney issuing a statement, noting, our

goal as a company is for this law to be repealed or struck down in the courts where a battle is no doubt brewing >> the battle is far from over it doesn't end today >> we know in many ways, this law, it's similar to another recent controversial bill in texas, how is this law actually going to be enforced there in florida? >> like the recent law in texas over abortion restrictions, craig. it relies on regular people to file civil lawsuits to enforce the policy, which means, craig, that the school districts have to have the money available to defend those lawsuits. right now there are several groups vowing to fight this law in court >> sam brock, south florida. thank you. 7:14 another big story is weather and it can be dangerous. >> this one caught a lot of people by surprise a spring snow squall blamed for a fatal pile up involving dozens of vehicles on a pennsylvania interstate the video is absolutely wild

transport them to shelter. crews shutting down the highway to clean up the wreckage as investigators worked through this chaotic crash scene now, this was the second massive pileup in just over a month in schuylkill county. in february, a 50-car pile up left several injured, only about 20 miles from monday's crash the snow squall was also to blame in that one. but i think the accurate description is demolition derby. >> and it happened so fast drivers had nothing to do. >> no, no time to react. >> thank you so much. >> let's talk about the weather, mr. roker. definitely cold out here. >> snow squalls coming across with cold winds, cold ground conditions and really difficult conditions and that bitter cold continues at least for one more day. records possible today marquette, windchill of 9. one in saranac lake. highs from 5 to 20 below average. bangor, philadelphia, detroit. marquette, michigan. the temperatures do start to

ad libbed and not scripted before air >> thank you joining us now a founding partner of punk news he was there in the room on sunday night let's talk about this. everyone is explaining that he i issued an apology. it was an instagram apology. it was for everyone to see do we have any indication, because i feel like an apology is to the person who you offended is there any indication he's apologized directly to chris rock >> there is not. and this was an apology that occurred late. it didn't occur on stage when he was accepting the award. he apologized there to the academy and other nominees but not to chris rock. and then this instagram apology was to chris rock and a number of other people. so it was sort of a blanket and pr managed apology. >> matt, there's been talk about consequences that will smith could face there's been some talk that the

academy could take away his oscar. slippery slope there if you look at others who have gotten oscars and not had them taken away. what it is likely outcome here is it just admonishment from the academy or more than that. >> i think the academy is very upset. they are appalled that this took place on the oscar stage so there will be a punishment. i don't think they will take away from his oscar, the movie and work he's done but i would not be surprised if they suspended him a year, six months and gave him a public lashing so to speak where he will feel something and he will not be able to get a nomination for a movie he has coming out next year. >> he received the oscar, it appeared if you were watching at home that there was a standing ovation in the room. in sharp contrast to what had happened earlier you were in the room when that happened was everyone in the room kind of on team will at that moment? >> i wouldn't say everyone yes, there were people that stood up and cheered for him there were also people that didn't clap.

of all, it was deafly silent when the slap occurred, and then there was this confusion for 40 minutes, why is he still sitting there? what's going to happen when he gets up there? and everyone was just silent when he spoke. and then when he got the award, people did say, you know this is a 30-year-in-the-making thing. people wanted this to happen and it got completely marred by this whole event so i think there were mixed feelings in the room. >> yeah, we haven't heard from chris rock yet >> and i don't think we will, actually i don't think he will be doing a statement. i think he's got a comedy tour and he'll talk there. >> his son, jaden, tweeted something shortly after the incident and it was on twitter and he basically says, and that's how we do it. what did you make of that? >> you know, i don't want to put words in his head, but, you know, i think a lot of statements flew around after the show, the producer of the show said, well, i said it would be

entertaining or wild i think people -- there is a big divide right now between people who think he was justified in going up there because he believed he was protecting his wife from a personal attack based on a medical condition, and those who believe that under no circumstance is violence acceptable. >> he kind of said violence in all forms is poisonous and destructive. thank you so much. we appreciate your time. up next, from the great resignation to the great regret. some new proof that a lot of those folks who quit their jobs during the pandemic now wish they hadn't and the things to ask potential employers before making any major career moves. we'll have that for you right after this typically work by lubricating your eyes and may provide temporary relief. those'll probably pass by me. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. xiidra? no!

it's been one year since the royal family lost prince philip. >> and this morning they gathered together at westminster abbey to honor the duke of edinburgh's life and legacy. we're going to talk about it with one of our royal experts in just a minute. but first, kathy park the there. hi, kathy. >> reporter: good morning to you both the program just wrapped up. but this was a beautiful tribute in honor of prince philip. it was attended by roughly 1800 number number people, including the queen and she was escorted in by her son prince andrew. this morning, britain's long-reigning monarch appearing

before her country once again. the queen arriving with prince andrew, a rare public appearance for the prince at the center of controversy, making her return to the public spotlight to celebrate the life of her husband who passed away last spring the service allowing the duke of edinburgh's friends, including more than 500 members of his patronages and charities to gather alongside the royal family a much different scene than his funeral nearly one year ago, when covid precautions led to this striking image of the queen sitting by herself mourning the love of her life >> how are you >> reporter: in the weeks leading up to tuesday's ceremony, concerns about queen elizabeth's ability to get around prompted questions as to whether she would attend since recovering from covid earlier this year, the 95-year-old has stuck to light duties, including virtual events and a few in-person audiences. canceling her public appearance

for commonwealth day, just two weeks ago, attended by other members of the royal family, a family that has recently been plagued by a wave of negative headlines. today marks prince andrew's first public event since he paid an undisclosed amount of money to settle a lawsuit accusing him of sexual abuse, an allegation he has repeatedly denied prince harry, who is in a legal fight with the british government, opted to stay in the u.s. instead of intending the service.to charm the countries where the queen is relatively short just about 40 minutes. but we're told that the queen played a very active role in planning this event all the way down to the flowers, in fact,

the orchids inside the abbey today were the flowers from her wedding bouquet when she married prince philip back in 1957 guys, back to you. >> interesting detail there. thank you. we're going to dive deeper into the memorial service and the controversies that surround it joining us now is daisy mcandrew it was so good to see the queen walk into westminster abbey. some people wondered if she would be able to attend this event. but she also walked in with prince andrew. was there a message she was trying to send, do you think >> reporter: i think people's initial reaction to that image was surprise, even shock digging into it a little bit deeper, though, i think there might be a number of different explanations to that prince andrew and the queen live five minutes apart in windsor.

we know andrew was going to escort his mother. they came in an ordinary car, as ordinary as royals get to drive around in, to exchange into a ceremonial car my understanding is at that point andrew was meant to stop escorting his mother and arrive with his daughters here. and then, in fact, there seems to have been a change of plan. that's one story i'm hearing today. there's another explanation. behind me is the official entrance where all the royals arrive to be welcomed by dignitaries and members of the clergy the fact that andrew went in the side entrance that his mother walked through meant that he avoided all of that fuss from the front. choose your story and decide what you want. it could be either. >> daisy, much is going to be made over who was not there. most notably here, prince harry and meghan markle not in

attendance what, if anything, should we read into them not being a part of the service today >> reporter: of course they are still maintaining that there's a problem with their security, that they would have to pay for their own security others saying because this is an official royal event, they would have been provided security. i think what i can tell you is that the british public are very disappointed that harry and meghan didn't come over and do feel that the queen must have been very sad that that happened just one little detail i want to tell you, you might have noticed that many people were wearing dark green today, lots of people saying, didn't they get the memo my understanding prince philip's royal livery was called edinburgh green, and that was probably a mark of respect and affection towards him. one other thing, you mightg, tha

notice the big diamond and ruby broach that the queen was wearing, that was given to her by prince philip in 1966 something she's very attached to it was an emotional tribute there. >> quite a love story, too daisy mcandrew, thank you so much we appreciate it that's what's going on around the country. here's what's happening in your neck of the woods. we're seeing sunshine in our forecast. we are going to see the sky that's cloudy right now, temperatures heading for the upper 60s. more of the same tomorrow. we're looking at slightly warmer temperatures for the weekend, over 70s for the inland areas on saturday. it will be slightly cooler and windy on sunday but still more rain in the forecast through at least next week. you can see the gusty winds in our forecast for the end of the weekend. today we'll see san francisco's temperatures reach 60 degrees. and that's your latest weather. the best time of the morning >> let's go!
