of course, what we're witnessing is premeditated murder, the president of the russian federation. i mean, dumb bombs are called dumb because they don't have a guidance system. so there is no way you can possibly target a specific house, we would never do that using a dumb bomb. and so this -- and we know that general oleg markovetsky, he's the one authorizing the targets and the locations. so this is intentional. and to hit a hospital like this. and you know we made mistakes in iraq and afghanistan, but we go to huge lengths to avoid exactly this. we take risks with our pilots to avoid this happening. clearly they're not encumbered with that sort of concern. but it is important to recognize that what they have done is because their original plan has failed, they have decided to put millions of refugees on the road by bombing cities, and putting immense treasure on the zelenskyy government and on the governments of the west, and the united states, so people would say, for the love of god, please stop this killing of civilians, we'll do whatever it takes to stop the killing. so that

federation. he called those who planned and carried out the attack bastards. >>> this morning, russia is keeping up its intense constant bombardment of kharkiv, ukraine's second largest city. >> we're joined by freelance photo journalist, collin, who joins us now. it's good to have you on. we've been looking at your photos from throughout this conflict. i believe you arrived in the country just a few days before the invasion and have been sharing just some very powerful images of what this war has done to this country. tell us, after weeks of covering this, tell us what kind of war this is you want to describe to people watching back home. >> this is a war of bombardment and artillery. i talked to many soldiers who described how they've been at the front for weeks and not fired their weapons once. but come under artillery barrage. in my own personal experience we've had to flee from artillery a few times, and we've only heard small arms fire a handful. it's not a war where you're likely to get sh

the russian federation parliament has condemned, and we are in the right to expect that in other countries also which made a deal with the nazis, should do the same. and not only at the level of the political statement of the leaders, but at the level of the political decisions to be adopted. naturally, we need to think about the victims. without deep understanding of all that occurred, it will not be possible for us to build a really secure world to eradicate the legacy of the co war and to remove artificial dividing lines. i would like to point out that my country, not only admit the errors and the tragedies involved in the past, that makes practical contributions in the building of the world and new world othe new principles thanks to the position of my country, would be possible to remove and virtual berlin wall and to set up prerequisites to build new europe without divisive lines. we need to cure the society of malaise of race hatred, mutual distrust built on cynical distortion of history. the modern civilized policy should be based on common moral and universal figure principles. in

federal authorities say 28-year- old american alberto gonzales and two russian men, used software programs to steal the information. gonzales is no stranger to these types of charges. he's already in jail, awaiting trial related to a security breach at tjx stores, that snagged 40 million credit card numbers. >> paul: sears and k-mart want customers to start saving for holiday presents, now. today, parent sears holdings dusted off the concept of a christmas club account. it lets shoppers store funds on a sears or kmart holiday card to be used for christmas spending. consumers have until october 31st to start saving and qualify for a matching 3% reward of up to $100. last year, the retail siblings resurrected their lay-away programs to help consumers manage holiday spending without racking up credit card debt. >> jeff: many consumers who have racked up that debt are having a hard time paying it off. capital one says its 30 day credit card delinquencies rose last month as did its loan charge-offs. that's the accounts it believes will never pay up. capital one caters to borrowers with lower cr

the city of mariupol has been wiped off the face of the earth by the russian federation. >> ukrainian officials are convinced russia's renewed siege on southern ukraine is revenge for the sinking of a prized warship in the black sea. >>> and taking a look now at some other headlines from across ukraine tonight -- absolutely horrific news about innocent ukrainians who have been killed. officials in the capital say the bodies of more than 900 civilians have been recovered since the russians pulled back a few weeks ago. and across the country, more than 200 children have been confirmed dead. >>> one u.s. official telling cnn the newest package of military aid from the u.s. may not be enough if russia launches a massive offensive as expected. that aid which is arriving as we speak in the region includes 40,000 artillery rounds. but the u.s. official says that might only last a few days. >>> meantime, ukrainian officials say russia has responded to the sinking of its warship by becoming increasingly hostile in its attacks on the south. cnn's ben wedeman is in eastern ukraine. tell us what

federation through friendly countries, i believe that this will not produce a desired effect. i consider this war can only be stopped by whoever started it. >> ukraine is closing in on the end of the 59th day of the war as the region prepares to observe orthodox easter tomorrow. but officials say there is no sign that russian attackers will observe the holiday. earlier today, a missile strike in the city of odesa killed at least eight people, zelenskyy says. ukrainian officials released this video claiming that it shows the aftermath of that strike. nbc news is not yet able to independently identify where or when this was taken. ukrainian officials in luhansk say that region is under 24-hour shelling. russians are accused of opening fire in an artillery attack on civilians in a downtown area there. and new today from mariupol, ukrainian officials say russian forces have restarted their attacks on that steel plant where hundreds of ukrainian fighters and possibly civilians are blocked in by the russian military. ukrainian officials say kharkiv recorded 56 attacks overnight. thi

they've been filling the court with federal society judges, they've been forcing, through nominations, like we saw with the russian jobs, multiple times under trump and mcconnell's leadership in the senate. and this is now what they're dealing with. back to ohio, remember, in those primary candidates all came out and said we're pro-life, we support this move, if this is the decision that is ultimately rendered. but, that's the other thing that tim ryan's gonna be up against. he's made it absolutely clear, in the right way, that this is about freedom for women. that's gonna turn -- when he thinks about this conversion rate, he has to calculate the fact that some anti trump voters, and some primary voters, are probably antiabortion too. he's gonna have to have to make the choice just about how hard is gonna go after this, when the reality is, abortions going to be a deciding factor in that election too. >> summer is about to heat up. juanita tolliver, michael steele, thank you for making us smarter tonight. coming up, we're gonna marked a milestone that we've all been dreading when the

the society also of the russian federation. they do not consider us an independent country. they do not respect us, they don't respect our culture, our values, and people, they don't think we have a right to independence, and we don't have a right to life it means. we're fighting for our life today and that means we're fighting for independence. we're fighting for our freedom, for freedom of ukraine. >> and that was just a little bit of the q & a, the press conference happening here in kyiv with president volodymyr zelenskyy. zelenskyy talking about the independence of the ukrainian people and aishah, highlighting the fact that in this eastern donbas region where the new phase, second phase of this war has begun, is where the ukrainian people have been fighting for independence there for eight years and he really highlighted the fact that vladimir putin ultimately does not either recognize the right of the ukrainian people to be independent more does he want them to essentially be an independent country. aishah. aishah: and i t

federation, though they, since the beginning of war, were delivering it as well. you do remember the full-scale invasion, how they were fleeing, leaving the tanks. we are grateful for those deliveries. thank you. >> ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskiy there. i mean, in the midst of an invasion, an incredible display there, and a real first, an extraordinarily produced press conference taking place on a running subway platform there. scott mclean is in lviv. he's been watching it as we are too. scott, it's striking for a number of reasons because the president there is strongly advocating for talks with putin. and he used the words like only a healthy, sane person chooses diplomacy. so he's also challenging putin, challenging his mind-set to ask him to meet, you know, with him, essentially, in some sort of diplomacy to end this invasion. >> reporter: yeah, fredricka. if you listen to some of the questions from the ukrainian journalists at that press conference, they seem to imply quite heavily that perhaps putin is not in the correct mental state ands that why

the russian federation will not be able to continue saying this was set up with fakes. >> we tracked down the man who risked his life to take these photos and video. we agreed not to show his face. were you scared to take pictures? if they had seen you taking pictures, you could have been killed. >> translator: of course there was fear, but i had to prove that it was them, that they killed people who were civilians. i had to do something. >> do you remember the first person killed on your street? >> translator: the first one to get killed was a man on the buy cycle to the left of my house. on march 6th, there were more dead people. there were seven people dead on the street on march 6th. seven dead people. i couldn't capture all the bolds from the window. there was a wall in the way. >> what do you want to see happen to those russians, to everybody in the chain of command? >> translator: they must be punished. there was a young guy who was bringing potatoes in a bag maybe for his family. the stores were closed, there was no power, no heating, no water. he wanted to help and he was ki

for the people of ukraine, for the people of the russian federation. steve: the kremlin agreed in principle to u.n. and red cross involvement in evacuations from mariupol, but moscow is not rushing to halt its offensive. for diplomacy to succeed, there needs to be the political will for peace, but there is little sign of that in the kremlin. putin seems determined to continue the offensive he launched in ukraine, at least until he can secure a victory. that means, no cease-fire in ukraine. the russian military continues to attack and continues to deny that russian troops have committed war crimes. kremlin critics argue that considering the scale of destruction, the u.n. chief should have traveled to ukraine first before flying to moscow. >> i am not in a position to give advice to the u.n., but i would probably go to mariupol first. i would go to bucha. i would go to all those places antalk to people and then fly to moscow and meet with putin and say, mr. president, what you're doing is a crime. steve: russia claims to be acting in self-defense, but it

it seems that killing children is just a new national idea of the russian federation. >> reporter: well, president zelenskyy announced on saturday that two top u.s. officials will be arriving today. that's secretary of state antony blinken and defense secretary lloyd austin. it will be the first high-level american delegation to keep since the war began. their presence will be a powerful symbol of u.s. support as russia's war enters its third month. of course their visit has not yet been confirmed by washington. meanwhile, ukrainians are fighting back hard. the defense ministry reports three russian aircraft, five be cruise missiles and nine tactical drones were shot down on saturday. it also claimed two russian generals had been killed in the kherson region. cnn has not verified those claims. meanwhile, every day the scope of russia's onslaught really just becoming clearer. one of the latest examples that we've been seeing is the evidence of what could be a new mass grave outside mariupol. our scott mcclain has the details for you. >> reporter: satellite images and aerial footage has l

to designate the russian federation, putin's government as a state sponsor of terror you can bet at this meeting does indeed happen that will be on the table as well, arthel. arthel: every time you and others report and show the pictures of all the devastation i keep saying the suggested not have to happen, seems so senseless. >> it sure is the ukrainian people certainly feel that more than anybody on day 59 of this invasion but i've got to tell you, arthel, their resolve is hardened and their unity is strong here as they get ready for what is going to be at least an eastern donbas. arthel: gloried to ukraine. groupthink and thanks for that life report in kyiv thank you. >> president zelenskyy is calling for president biden to visit ukraine justice prime minister boris johnson did a couple of weeks ago. and on this program "fox news live" a few weeks so ukrainian member of parliament also invited president biden to kyiv. the secretary of state and the secretary of defense going tomorrow according to mr. zelenskyy, they will bring a message of solidarity but does it mean more jim walsh is
