thank you for joining me. i m fredricka whitfield. ukraine s president, volodymyr zelenskyy, made a dramatic appearance in japan where he s holding crucial meetings with world leaders at the g7 summit. zelenskyy is pleading his case for continued support in the war with russia. ukraine depends heavily on support and weapons from the g7 leaders who released a statement saying this we reaffirm our unwavering support for ukraine for as long as it takes. president biden is expected to have a face-to-face with zelenskyy tomorrow, and in a significant win for ukraine, the u.s. has signaled it will now allow allies to send f-16 fighter jets to ukraine and support training its pilots. that s a major about-face for the biden administration. russia and ukraine are not the only thing on the agenda at the summit. western leaders are tackling ways to confront china s increasing military power and how to approach the growing impact of artificial intelligence. mark stewart is in hiroshima
over his trip overseas, forcing the president to cut short his time on the world stage. he was warned. new details about the man accused of leaking classified documents on discord. he was makinged for mishandling information, so we have to ask, why did he still have access to the documents? we re live from the pentagon with the latest. enough for the refs to say we are the ones who are out, now parents are stepping up. we are following these stories and many more, automatic coming in to cnn news central. right now president biden is juggling a looming debt crisis at home, and fragile alliances abroad. he landed in japan today, meeting with the prime minister ahead of the g7 summit in hiroshima. on the agenda, counters china, of course, aiding ukraine and reassuring allies that the u.s. will not default on its debt. the last bit depends on talks in washington. today, with two weeks to go, lawmakers from both parties are indicating that there s been progress. new cnn s
good evening. welcome to the whole story. conclusion i m anderson cooper. tonight brings us to one of the most beautiful and progressive cities in america. a city known for its social activism as well as it wealth, particularly in the tech world. it s home to the highest number of billionaires per captain in the country. but it s san francisco, in steep decline because of homelessness and drug use. more people died from drug overdoses in this city during the covid pandemic than from the virus itself. cnn s sara sidner heads to the bay area, a place she once called her home to show us what it looks like now and find out what happened to san francisco. so when i first laid eyes on san francisco, i was enchanted. from where i am right now, driving over the bay bridge, and it looked like someone had taken an enormous vat of fog and just continuously poured it over the hills, like dry ice being poured over a perfectly sculpted city on a stage. and then you get down into the cit
action. this week district attorney alvin bragg decide to charge daniel penny with reckless homicide. the press continues to play the video of jordan neely dancing like a michael jackson impersonator. but they know that s not why he died. where were all the activists when he punched a 62-year-old woman in the face as she left the subway. and he was attempting to kidnap a 7-year-old girl he was dragging down the street. the meaning of victim and criminal, they just flip places. can they acknowledge how new yorkers feel? the guy may have been mentally unstable. but that s not our fault. i get it. it s a little excessive but up sure he didn t mean to kill the guy. first of all, it was none of his business to put the man in chokehold. he knew when the guy stopped breathing, and he knew how long he had to hold him. there are crazy things happening in the city and it s scary to be out. if somebody attacks you. whatever you have to do, just do it. he did kill someone. ma
