5:32 pm
the reopening of that plant is significant, but it's not an immediate fix. abbott said it's going to start with what it calls special metabolic formulas, and those go to doctors and hospitals, not directly to consumers, so you won't see them on store shelves. meanwhile, across the country, almost 74% of those shelves are empty. 10 states are nearly 90% out of baby formula. the biden administration says it's doing everything it can. last night, the president tweeted that the u.s. has secured another 33 million bottles of formula from nestle. that means more than 127 million bottles are heading to stores soon. but when that factory does start back up production of more standard direct-to-consumer formula, it will take several weeks before you see it in the grocery store, and that's not going to help moms and dads and families the who need to feed those infants right now. >> diaz: christina, there was also some tense moments for the bidens in delaware. what happened? >> reporter: so, the bidens were whisked away to a fire station

5:36 pm
the regional governor says they've managed to claw back part of severodonetsk from russian control after weeks of brutal fighting. on friday, ukraine marked the 100th day since vladimir putin's vasion tens of thousands of ukrainians have died, and millions have been displaced, including in mykolaiv, to the south. daily russian shelling has led to these now all-too-familiar scenes: loved ones saying good-bye to each other and joining the more than 6.5 million ukrainians displaced since fighting began. uvila's two youngest children who put on a brave face for their mother, are among the latest. a good-bye too painful for her to bear. but how to stay in a city being targeted like this. mykolaiv was in moscow's crosshairs as soon as the invasion began. in march, the kremlin launched this devastating attack. it was 8:45 in the morning when the russian cruise missile
5:37 pm
targeted this building with no warning and no way for anyone to 3 escape. 36 people were killed in the strike. this is where you'd work. >> yeah, yeah. >> reporter: wow. >> we must work in this place. >> reporter: dmitri speaks for the mykolaiv military administration. what do you want to say to the russian generals who are trying to attack your city? >> go home. go home and leave our country. if you don't go, we go to you. >> reporter: you're going to go to them. >> yeah. >> reporter: and keep fighting. >> yeah. we have no choice. >> diaz: imtiaz tyab joins us now. imtiaz, you and your crew are rotating out of ukraine after your second assignment there since the invasion. you've been embedded with ukrainian troops as they've taken fire. how have they been able to resist for 101 days of war? >> reporter: well, they've been outgunned and outmanned from the very beginning of this war, but

5:39 pm
now to the latest on covid-19. nationwide, new infections have eased, down 6% over the last two weeks. hospitalizations are also down, but it's a different story in california. cbs' tom wait is in west hollywood with more. >> reporter: good evening to you, adriana. well, as you can see here in west hollywood, thousands are filling the streets for pride celebrations. but the concern is big events like this one could fuel a surge in covid cases across the country. large crowds are gathering at pride events, beaches, and airports, just as covid cases are climbing in california, triggering a return to indoor mask mandates. >> it's kind of annoying to go backwards. i thought we were moving forward. >> reporter: after a spring of big declines, some hospitals in the golden state are starting to fill up, and new infections have jumped 30% since last week. >> it really is not the number of cases, to me that's the most critical. it's the level of hospitalizations and the amount of hospital beds that are still open. >> reporter: why do you think we're seeing a surge in california versus other states where cases are going down?
5:40 pm
