An emotional space as the former Los Angeles Laker is inducted into the Basketball Hall of fame. Live from cnn World Headquarters in atlanta, welcome to all of you watching here in the united states, canada and around the world. Im kim brunhuber. This is cnn newsroom. The Israeli Military says it has struck the home of a Hamas Leader in southern gaza. Hes the head of hamas In Gaza and lives south of gaza city. The attack on the Hamas Leader came hours after israeli warplanes bombed a high Rise Building where several News Organizations had offices. The Associated Press, Al Jazeera and other companies had offices there. The palestinian Health Ministry says at least 153 people In Gaza have died in the Air Strikes, including more than 40 children. In israel, the Death Toll rose to 10 on saturday as a rocket fired from gaza struck a residential neighborhood in Tel Aviv killing a man. Arlette saenz has the latest from washington. Selma Abdul Aziz is in beirut. Elliott, i want to start with the bombing of the media building. What more are we learning about that . Reporter well, theyre saying it carried out the strike because it housed military asset, Military Intelligence assets belonging to hamas. Now, we reached out to the idf to ask if they could provide proof of that. They said they werent going to add to what they said already and couldnt comment on whether they would give more information in the future. The associated Press President and Ceo Gary Pruett said he was shocked and horrified at what happened. The foreign Press Association in the country has written to the idf expressing its concern and dismay. The attack shows the Idf Determination to take out targets no matter what the fallout is. Including the international media, and clearly taking out the Bulling Building belonging Associated Press is not going to do itself any favors in the eyes of the international media. I think this just shows it is determined to fulfill its objectives, hitting targets that are going to degrade hamas abilities to Fire Rockets at israel, to take out leaders and other bits of their infrastructure, underground missile launches, rocket launches, underground tunnel networks, weapons manufacturing facilities, and anything else they deem to be a target. As prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said, you know, this is an operation that will go on as long as necessary. I dont know if you hear in the background, but we can hear the booms in the sky of rockets apparently being taken out by the Iron Dome Defense system. We have mentioned those rockets, the Air Strikes. What about the clashes within israel between arabs and jews and mixed communities . Are they still ongoing . Reporter tensions are still very high in these mixed towns. More reinforcements of police have been sent there and prime Minister Netanyahu reiterated he wont tolerate what he described as against jewish citizens or lynchings in his words against arab citizens. Saying that anarchy will not be tolerated and those who are perpetrating such outbreaks of violence will be held accountable. And there have been a number of arrests in that respect. And if you speak to israelis, actually, though there is clearly a lot going on about 25 kilometers to the south of here in and around the Gaza Strip, and Rockets Still flying into israel, israelis are probably more concerned about the violence going on between arabs and jews within israel than they are the Gaza Strip right now. Gaza wars as we have seen over the previous years, they come and go. But coexistence is something that needs to abound for countries to survive and there are real concerns that this violence will get worse and it will be hard to go back to where we were before it began in the last week or so. Kim . Absolutely, elliott gotkine, thank you very much. Now to Selma Abdelaziz in beirut. Tell us through what youve been seeing, where you are in lebanon and more broadly across the region. Reporter yes, kim. Yesterday was a key day. The day that commemorates the Hundreds Of Thousands of palestinians that were displaced in the year 1948, the year the state of israel was declared. Their Descendants Number in the millions and theyre spread across the region with many in lebanon. It was a very big day yesterday. We were along the lebanese border. We have footage to show you of that day. We at first saw a very simple gathering there, buses bringing people in from various political factions, the yellow flags of hezbollah, the green flags of hamal and people showing up with their children waving flags, people who said they needed to come out and show solidarity, not only with the families In Gaza that were under bombardment during one of the holiest holidays for muslims but across the region. We started to see groups of young men going down The Hill tops and running up to that border fence, cutting through the chicken wire, starting to climb that fence, throwing rocks, molotov cocktails, sticks, anything they could get their hands on to try to send a message to the israeli troops they had spotted on the other side. We also heard what sounded like gunfire coming from israeli troops and later on did find out from the national News Agency here that two people were wounded in gunfire. So it did appear there was some back and forth there. It did end peacefully with the troops moving in to disperse the crowds. They came in with batons, loud, shouting it was time to break it up, time to go home and thats what everyone did. We saw similar scenes in jordan. Very similar end to it as well because jordanian authorities stepped in to disperse those crowds too. There is a sense across the region, kim, these protests are by and large very small. The response on the arab streets is very muted. There is a couple of reasons for this. The first is this is a post Arab Spring period, dictatorships, human Rights Groups will tell you, ocratic leaders do not want to see huge gatherings of people in their squares, look at Tahrir Square in cairo, a human Rights Group will tell you the President Wouldnt want to see a large gathering there. And a second thing, a big diplomatic shift in this region. And that is the normalization of agreements, other countries trying to normalize their relationship with israel, which means a much more muted criticism when it comes to the latest clashes, the unfolding violence that were seeing across the region there and Inside Gaza as well. And it means the arab streets are also being asked to remain quiet, Thats Something the protesters told me over and over again, theyre angry with arab leadership. They feel disappointed by their own governments and feel they need to come out to show solidarity with the palestinian people and to remind the community at large that they are not forgotten and it is important to remember, many people were palestinian descendants, this is something at their heart and soul, kim. Interesting, thank you so much for your reporting there, salma abdelaziz, appreciate it. The u. S. Is calling for a deescalation in the Violence Spilling across the region. Arlette saenz is at the White House. Reporter president biden spent most of saturday here at the White House, where he spent the day working the phones, having separate Phone Calls with israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and palestinian Authority President Mahmoud abbas. As there is growing concern about these tensions regarding israel. Now, the president is trying to strike a very delicate balance, and extending support for israels right to defend itself. But also expressing concerns for the palestinian people. I want to read you a bit of the white House Readout of what the president had to say to prime Minister Netanyahu, he said the White House says the president noted this current period of conflict has tragically claimed the lives of israeli and palestinian civilians, including children. He raised concerns about the Safety And Security of journalists and reinforced the need to ensure their protection. This Phone Call took place late Saturday Morning after that israeli Air Strike flattened that building In Gaza that was home to the Associated Press, Al Jazeera and other Media Outlets. The readouts dont specifically say whether the president addressed that specific Air Strike. It was not just the president Making Calls over the weekend. The Defense Secretary Lloyd austin reached out to his israeli counterpart to talk about the situation there. But right now the administration is really taking this all hands on Deck Approach as they are trying to urge deescalation in the region. Arlette saenz, cnn, the White House. We want to show you what was happening inside that building In Gaza before it was leveled by an israeli attack. Listen to this. So you can see people scooping up their gear, donning Body Ararmy armor, trying to figure out what can be saved. This is after. The president of the Associated Press says israel notified them of the strike an hour before it happened. He spoke earlier to cnn. Our folks are doing their best to report from their locations at home. But also the worlds media has been incredibly generous in offering Help And Support and Office Space for us to operate on a temporary basis while we seek additional Office Space. But it is a difficult situation right now. It certainly impairs our ability to report. It doesnt silence us, but it certainly hurts. We have been in that building for 15 years. We had no indication hamas was operating out of that building. We do check back to the best of our ability because, of course, we would never knowingly endanger our journalists. But can we say for sure, no, we cant. But, you know, our goal is to report neutrally from israel, from gaza, report the facts, not take sides, and try to stay out of the cross fire. Today we did not. That was the president of the ap speaking to cnn. Al jazeera had offices in the building. It is condemning the bombing and saying it views it as a clear act to stop journalists from reporting In Gaza. The u. S. Centers for Disease Control and prevention says schools should continue masking for the rest of the academic year. Health officials say thats because there is not enough time for students to become fully vaccinated before the summer break. The agency says it will update its guidance for schools in the coming weeks. In the meantime, the cdc says schools that offer in Person Learning should prioritize wearing masks and social distancing when possible. Walt disney World And Supermarket Chain Publix are among the latest companies to change their masking policies following the new guidance. Some Small Business owners are torn about what they should do next. Cnn has more on their dilemma. Reporter to take it off or to keep it on. I dont mind the masks. But i definitely feel like it is liberating to not wear them. Reporter trader joes, walmart, costco, starbucks say no masks required in most of their stores for customers who are fully vaccinated. But many Small Business owners like Jay Spangler i love taking this thing off. Reporter still unable to make changes and unclear about what they will eventually require from their staff and customers. I think that everybody wants to take their mask off. When people come in the restaurant and sit down, the first thing they do is they want to rip their mask off. Reporter what makes it even more complicated, states in red in this map didnt require masks before the cdc updated its guidance. States in blue updated their guidance and others like california still reviewing their mask regulations. I will continue to wear my mask around people i feel are more vulnerable. I think it is the responsible thing to do. Reporter in the meantime, the biden administration trying to answer questions. What should i say when someone tells me they dont want to get vaccinated . It is important to understand what youre putting into your body. This is especially important because we know there is a lot of Misinformation Swirling around. These are rigorously studied vaccines, doctors and nurses across the country are not only recommending them, but taking them themselves. Reporter the experts have been on defense, after saying fully vaccinated people can go without a mask in most cases caused a great deal of confusion. The cdc says the change was based on new analysis of data from vaccinated healthcare workers. The rules change so much that we just wait until the day of and then adapt. On the fly. Reporter spangler believes there will still be confusion, changes and last minute notices. But overall great to see peoples faces again. Reporter and hes hopeful about the future. The more we can fit inside, the better. Just because we got a lot of recouping to do. Reporter cnn, los angeles. England is about to take the next step on its path out of lockdown. It is lifting many more coronavirus restrictions beginning on monday. The rise in covid cases caused by the India Variant is casting a shadow over the countrys plans. For more on this, lets bring in Bill Lack in london, casting a shadow is putting it too lightly . There seems to be more and more pressure on prime Minister Boris Johnson to delay that plan to relax Covid Rules tomorrow. It is, i think, a looming shadow is a good way of describing what is hanging over what is supposed to be an otherwise really positive day. People have been looking forward to, incredibly so, really. Tomorrow, in england, wales and scotland as well, indoor mixing returns. People will be able to get together in homes, in bars, restaurants, and in england people are told they can even hug again. It is a hugely significant Change And Something people have been looking forward to because of where they have been coming from. It is a representation of the progress made here, both in terms of driving Down Transmission and rolling out the vaccine. And yet despite the progress, or because of it, the prime minister, his scientific advisers, across the general population, i would say is there is concern about what could be coming next. Because of this new variant, that is confirmed to be spreading here, a variant that was first discovered in india, and which the government scientific advisers say is more transmissible. They are nervous because of what the numbers and the modeling they are seeing shows them. And it shows them that there are still so many people who have not been protected by a vaccine that in the event that this new variant is significantly more transmissible, there could still be or perhaps still will be a surge that could play significant pressure on the Countrys Health System once again. The if there is key, if it is more significantly more transmissible, because No One knows. We expect to know within the coming weeks as they study the information, study what it is doing in the population, they will have a more accurate sense of just what or how much harm this new variant could potentially cause here. But for the moment, they believe that based upon the available evidence, the situation across the country remains very good. All the key indicators are still heading in the right direction. The actual numbers of cases of this new variant is still very low, confirmed around 1300 so far. This is what this is the most recent figure, it has been growing quickly over the last week or so. I think we might have lost phil there. We thank him for that reporting in london. Still to come on cnn, we head to the vatican where Pope Francis is holding a special mass for romes Myanmar Catholics. Plus, the latest on the fighting between Israel And Gaza militants. Ill speak to a middle East Expert about why he thinks the violence could grow even worse. Stay with us. [sneezes] hey allergy muddlers. [sneezes] are your sneezes putting your friends in awkward positions . [sneezes] stick with zyrtec. Zyrtec starts working hard at hour one and works twice as hard when you take it again the next day. Zyrtec. Muddle no more. And try Childrens Zyrtec for consistently powerful relief of your kids allergies. Needles. Essential for sewing, but maybe not for people with certain inflammatory conditions. Because there are options. Like an unjection. xeljanz. The first and only pill of its kind that treats moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, or moderate to severe Ulcerative Colitis when other medicines have not helped enough. Xeljanz can lower your ability to fight infections. Before and during treatment, your doctor should check for infections, like tb and do blood tests. Tell your doctor if youve had Hepatitis B or c, have flulike symptoms, or are prone to infections. Serious, sometimes fatal infections, cancers including lymphoma, and Blood Clots have happened. Taking a higher than recommended dose of xeljanz for ra may increase risk of death. Tears in the stomach or intestines and serious allergic reactions have happened. Needles. Fine for some. But for you, theres a pill that may provide symptom relief. Ask your doctor about the pill first prescribed for ra more than seven years ago. Xeljanz. An unjection. all right, youre looking at live pictures from the vatican where Pope Francis is celebrating holy mass with Myanmar Catholics living in rome. Hes made many calls for peace in myanmar since the military seized control in february. Some reports saying nearly 800 people have been killed by the Military Security Forces during its crackdowns on protests against its rule. So, for more on this, lets bring in cnns Elaine Gallagher who is in rome. Might not normally associate myanmar with catholicism because the country is so heavily buddhist. Take us through the importance of what is happening right now. Reporter thats right, kim. The catholic population in myanmar is really only about 1 . So the catholics in rome for myanmar is even smaller as you can imagine. Pope francis right now is in st. Peters basilica behind me with some of them. There is about 170 nuns, priests and seminarians, those who are studying here in rome, at this mass. Some of the readings and prayers are in burmese in the language of myanmar. The significance is clearly that this is a moment that the pope wants the Worlds Attention to be on myanmar. He has said this is a country which is close to his heart. He was there in 2017. I was with him, he met with democratic leader aung san suu kyi, met with the military general, but since the february coup, the pope has spoken out on numerous occasions in favor of peace, in favor of peaceful protests, and stopping the Violence And Killing of the civilians in myanmar. Now, one thing that the pope did from the vatican which was very powerful, if you remember, there was a picture of a catholic Nun Kneeling on the streets of myanmar in front of the military. Shortly after that picture came out, the pope from the vatican said i too kneel on the streets of myanmar and say stop the violence. Of course, the pope doesnt have an army, he cannot impose sanctions, but what he can do, kim, is help keep the focus on the situation there, which is what hes doing with this Mass Today. And especially encourage the international community to take action. To that, he adds his voice to the voices of human Rights Groups, in particular, who are putting pressure on the u. N. Security council, not to just issue statements of condemnation, but to take action to go for an arms embargo, for example, to really intervene in the situation in myanmar. The pope hoping at least that this Mass Today will lend some support to the peaceful protesters, but also encourage the international community to take that action. Kim . All right, thank you so much, delia gallagher, reporting for us from rome. In afghanistan, the withdrawal of u. S. Military forces is raising big questions about those who could be left behind. Now, were talking about afghan citizens who worked for the u. S. As interpreters and other critical jobs. They can only put their own lives on the line, they also saved millions of american lives. Now they fear they will be targets for militants when the u. S. Leaves. James clapper wrote this about the interpreters in a recent cnn op oped. What they did made a difference between Mission Success and failure and between being killed or surviving to fight another day. We can and must do the right thing here. Clapper went on to say in his oped that those afghan interpreters deserve Help Resettling in the u. S. In an interview with cnn earlier, he said it is literally a matter of Life Or Death for them. Hundreds of these people have been assassinated, murdered by the Taliban And Retribution against their families as well. So there is no question about what the taliban intent is. And the reason that these are crucial from the taliban standpoint is that this was the bridge, the means by which u. S. Forces in the field could communicate with the locals. So if the translator is killed, which the taliban regarded as critical, that then cut off the bridge of the conduit of communication between the u. S. Forces and the local people. And, you know, in a situation where theyre trying to borrow an expression win the hearts and minds of the local people. Clapper is urging the u. S. State department to try to process applications from interpreters more quickly and calling on Government Contractors to provide financial help to those who call for resettlement. Much of the Israeli Palestinian Conflict is focused On Gaza now. There are concerns about the fighting spreading. Well have a report from the West Bank coming up. Plus, taiwan hit a new domestic covid case record. Grocery store shelves are emptying as People Stock up. Well explain whats happening. Stay with us. Welcome back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. Im kim brunhuber. This is cnn newsroom. Israels military says it has bombed the home of the Hamas Leader In Gaza. An israeli official said he wasnt hurt when an Air Strike hit his home. It appears to be one of many israeli attacks On Gaza. Palestinian Health Officials say at least eight people were killed in Air Strikes today. Israel says it is targeting hamas and Islamic Jihad as they launch Rockets S at israeli territory. This shows rockets coming out of gaza to israel. Israel says a building had hamas assets. Despite the justification given by the Israeli Military, the head of the Associated Press said it worked out of that building for 15 years and had no indication of hamas activity. We get the latest from cnns ben wedeman. Reporter an israeli Air Strike In Gaza brings down the 12 story tower. Housing offices of the premiere u. S. News agency, the Associated Press, and the Al Jazeera network. Once more, a massive building In Gaza is reduced by Israels Version of Shock And Awe to rubble and dust. The Israeli Military warned the building occupants, among them families to evacuate before the bombing. Israeli Air Force claims the building contained what it called hamas Military Intelligence assets, which it alleges were using Media Outlets as shields. The Air And Artillery campaign against gaza continues with mounting intensity. As hamas and other militant Factions Fire Barrage after barrage of rockets into israel. Gazas cramped confines, israels claims to be avoiding civilian casualties, often seems to ring hollow. As the residents of the crowded Refugee Camp bury their dead. Early Saturday Morning israeli warplanes struck a home in the crowded camp, killing at least ten people, eight of them children. Among them, four of this mans five sons and his wife. The only son to survive found under the rubble was 5monthold armad. They destroyed the house without warning at 1 30 in the morning, says muhammad. People were sleeping, the children were sleeping. Saturday saw more confrontations in the West Bank between palestinians and israeli soldiers. May 15th is catastrophe day, marking the displacement of Hundreds Of Thousands of palestinians in 1948. On the outskirts, a young Man Used Slings to Hurl Stones at soldiers. With the West Bank now aflame, Ha Hamas has called upon the people here in their words to set the Ground Ablaze under the feet of the occupation. Indeed, the fires are spreading. Ben wedeman, cnn, on the West Bank. For more im joined by a senior Consulting Research Fellow at the Middle East in North Africa Program at chatham house. Thank you so much for joining us. Things as we just saw vividly there in that report seem to be getting worse. Youve written that this risks blowing up into a full scale uprising, that the violence could spiral into something that could go on for months, or even years. Thats the worst case scenario. But is that likely . Dont both sides have too much to lose here . I think we good morning. It is only a week ago we spoke about jerusalem and you see how it moved to gaza and what is happening in israel. It shows the fragility of the situation, how quickly it can escalate and deteriorate from more limited conflict or clashes to something much bigger. But now between hamas and israel, the rising number of casualties, the conflict will go on, the question what happened the day after the resistance. That is exactly the question. I want to focus on that. Where we go from here. You have written, quote, the lesson from the last few weeks is that the gridlock in resolving the Israeli Palestinian Conflict and the stalling on a Twostate Solution is causing the conditions for the most extreme elements in the conflict to trigger more suffering and misery. Even if egypt were to broker a ceasefire here, that wont solve the underlying issues that brought us here in which according to what you wrote there about the rise of extremism makes it more likely it will happen again. Im a humble student of history. Look what happens. Also, the oslo years, 27, 28 years of socalled Peace Process and we get increasing violence because there is not enough to get to the underlying issues of the conflict. It has to be a fair and just solution. I tend to think that two State Solution in one form or another, different what we saw years ago can still work. The situation in which gaza is located, the West Bank is occupied as is jerusalem, the rights of so many millions of palestinians deprived and the same we see actually in israel when you have a group of people, the majority, and the minority that are discriminated and second class citizens. This is what is not sustainable, and this has to be resolved in a very courageous way. You almost need to change your system and look for a massive upgrade. Yeah. Well see whether either side has the courage for that and it will take the help of the international community there to make that happen. But i want to focus again back on israel, you know, the conflict within israel itself, between the mixed Arab Israeli communities, Neighbors Living Side By side, when, you know, eventually there is peace, when the Air Strikes and Rockets Stop, how do they repair that damage . Well, this is the most difficult, because this happens within the state, which everyone is a citizen. Israeli, palestinians, are supposed to are equal rights but they dont. I think the Jewish Population enjoys deluding itself that they can go forward with one part of the society it is also the ethos of this is a Jewish State, so what is the place, what is the identity of 20 of the population if this is a Jewish State . I think of 2018, which if there was some form of discrimination, it is enshrined in the law. The discrimination of palestinians that live and according to the declaration of independence this is a country that is supposed to there is a buildup, it needs a national dialogue. And at the end of the day, you dont need to live Side By side, there should be integration within the society and this is completely missing. Yeah. But as you noted, i mean, the rise of extremism on both sides makes that less and less likely. Youve been calling for the international community to step up here. The u. N. Security council meeting today. What are you hoping for and what do you realistically expect . Well, there was a huge difference between what i hope and what is going to happen. I think it is about the international community and the Security Council. At the end of the day, with so many people this is a war, the Security Council and the permanent members of the Security Council cant actually reach a resolution. What is easier than calling both sides, stop it now. Thats what international community wants. When civilians are killed on both sides, when so many children are here, this is the role of the Security Council. I understand the united states would like to give israel some more some more room to reassert its deterrence, but what both countries dont understand, this is a very shortterm because we have been here so many times. We need to reboot the system and think differently. We can always hope. Thank you so much for your excellent analysis, appreciate it. Thank you. Coronavirus cases are surging in taiwan. The latest numbers have just been released. Well have them for you in a live report from taipei just ahead. And what was an emotional night as basketball honors the late Kobe Bryant.

The selfgoverned island is tightening social distancing restrictions for taipei and nearby areas. Andy lee joins us from taipei with the latest. Taiwan was long considered a covid success story. Is that in danger of changing . Reporter yes, that is a very good question. A million dollar question. The taiwan government has been doing a good job so far and the people in taiwan would love to think that the government is still doing a good job and will in the future. However that said, the number of covid confirmed cases is spiking as we speak. Yesterday 180. Today, 207. So the government is raising the alert level and the Restriction Level from level 2 to level 3. What is the definition of level 3 . Outdoor activity, ten persons, no go.

It seems to be doing really well. Why is that . Reporter the people of taiwan are united with the government in fighting this covid pandemic. Yes, the Stock Market took a bit of a dip a few days ago. However, we would like it to go back on track. Now, the people in taiwan support the government, however the people in taiwan are still very worried. People are still going to be the supermarkets and stocking up on tissues, rice, grocery items. I told my wife to do that, she came home to me and was telling me the shelves were gone in minutes. And i had to go to the pharmaceuticals and stock up on face masks. I bought ten boxes, but i still feel worried. People in taiwan are also signing up for selfpaid vaccination. However, we were told that the the Q Quota of the first batch has been used and people are asking when is the second batch coming. No one has a definite answer on that one. People are on pins and needles here in taiwan. Kim . Interesting. Well keep following that. Thank you so much, journalist andy lee. Appreciate it.

Pipeline hacked in a Ransomware Attack last week is up and running for a few days now, but it is still a huge challenge to find gasoline in some areas. Cnns Natasha Chen reports. Reporter Gas Stations like this one here in charleston, South Carolina, dont currently have fuel, but the overall situation is slowly improving across the southeast. In fact, near us other Gas Stations got new supply of fuel overnight. On Saturday Morning, Colonial Pipeline said its systems are now at normal operations, but it could take several days, up to two weeks in certain places, for there to be a sense of normalcy. Fuel flows through that pipeline at about five miles per hour. And in the meantime, a handful of southern states are under states of emergency. That lifts wait restrictions for trucks delivering fuels. The declarations help states prevent price gauging from happening.
