ukrainian defense. >> we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world, i'm wolf blitzer. you are in ""the situation room." ". >> announcer: this is cnn breaking news. >> we begin our coverage tonight with the very traumatic arrest of the pan suspected of firing 33 shots in a new york city subway, leaving at least 29 people injured. cnn correspondent is joining us from the scene of the attack. the suspect i understand called in a tip, letting police know where he was. what else are you learning? >> reporter: that's right, wolf, really remarkable. he was just strolling through the streets of the lower east side after calling the police on himself. two patrol officer just on random patrol spotted him, taking him into custody, police today revealing more evidence, more information that connects him, they say, to the shooting. >> mr. james, anything to say? >> reporter: frank robert james, the suspected gunman who opened fire on a subway train in brooklyn tuesday no you in custody. >> my fellow new yorkers, we got him. >> reporter: patrol officers arresting james walking the streets in new york city's east village today after sources say he actually called in a tip, leading police to his general location. officers in response to a crime stoppers tip stopped mr. james at 1:42 p.m. at the corner of st. mark's place and first avenue in manhattan. he was taken into custody without incident and has been transported to an nypd facility. we hope this arrest brings solace to victims and the city of new york. >> reporter: the 62-year-old talked about fightings and multiple rambling videos posted on youtube, including this one uploaded on monday. >> i have been through a lot. we have to say, i wanted to kill people. i wanted to watch them die right in front of my face immediately. but i thought about the fact, hey, man, i don't want to go to prison. >> reporter: in other videos, james said he had ptsd and ranted about race, homelessness and new york city mayor eric adams. adams said. >> why aren't we being more proactive, instead of waiting nor this to happen. >> reporter: the videos also giving insight into james' path to brooklyn, leaving his home in milwaukee march 20th, james said he was heading to the quote danger zone. he then stops in in the wayne, pittsburgh and newark, before arriving to philadelphia on march 25th. police initially named james a person of interest because they found a credit card and keys to a rented u-hall van at the scene, later tracking down the vehicle, where it appears he may have spent in the night. he represented it from this philadelphia store monday he visited a philadelphia storage facility filled with ammunition and more weapons on the evening before the attack. they also show surveillance no cos of the u-haul van crossing into brooklyn at 4:11 a.m. two hours later a man matching his description, wearing a hard hat and construction vest left the u-haul on foot. we obtained this video law enforce. believes to be james, wearing sim is lar clothing, entering two hours before the shooting began. investigators linking the gun found at the scene to a purchase by james sources say. and authorities have tracked the purchase of a gas mask to james through an ebay account. we are learning more about the victims. a man shot in the back of his knee trying to flee the scene. >> i'm thinking it's just a smoke bomb. i grabbed her from the back so she didn't get shot in the back. she was pregnant. a lot of people kept rushing. that's when i got shot in the leg. >> reporter: police say james shot a total of 33 rounds in a crowded car before his gun jammed. five of the people injured were children on their way to school. and, wolf, tomorrow james is expected to be in federal court here in brooklyn. this as investigators are pouring through all of that youtube video trying to see some kind of motive. they say they are working on that, it is possible he could face additional charges, wolf. >> eventually, he could face life in prison if convicted. thank you very much. let's discuss what's going on with a former fbi deputy districtor cnn senior law enforcement analyst andrew mccabe and former nypd, commissioner bill gratton. he's the author of the book, a c profession. the suspect apparently called in a tip on himself? >> it's been two days, wolf, that certainly evidentially him r arranging for his own arrest. however he came into the custody of the nypd and fbi. new yorkers are breathing a sigh of relief in the concerns that he may engage in another action. it's good news he has been captured. now the really hard work of putting the case together. fortunately, there is a lot of evidence to work w. huge amount of stuff to work with. a lot of it left behind by him when he left that subway train as well as a trail coming into new york and a trail all across the country in many respects. however, it was the great cooperation between law enforcement agencies in the new york region. the relationship with the fbi and atf and marshals service. in going forward, forkers are going to halt its crime increased. it's going to require more than just the nypd. it will require collaboration among all law enforcement agencies to stem the tide of the crime wave. >> andrew, the nypd say the suspect was known to them and actually had a history of several arrests. he also posted videos as we heard in shimone's report, and advocateing for shootings. were red flags missed here? >> you know, washington, that's really hard to say at this point of the investigation but my initial sense is probably not. you know, there has been a lot of conversation today whether or not he should have been able to purchase, legally purchase a firearm. apparently that purchase took place in 2011. so 16 years ago. if you didn't have any convictions for felonies at that time or didn't qualify under any of the other eight excluding elements of the brady act, then that's a legal purchase. it doesn't matter if you have crazy videos on youtube or lead a somewhat non-traditional life. you don't qualify under that law in firearm purse then you get your gun. so one of the main reasons you should rethink the gun laws in this country. but it looks to me there were probably not major issues that would have brought this person to law enforcement's attention at this time. >> commissioner bratton, what's happening? take us behind the scenes at this stage to try to get to the bottom of this possible motive here. >> well, there was spoken to and addressed in a press conference by the chief detective who talked about the hundreds of detectives that joined the fbi who were taking the lead that they are continuing to seek out additional camera evidence that the individual took trying to piece together moment by moment where he was in furtherance of creating a prosecutor's case for attacking defense attorneys. at the moment the investigation continues on a very significant scale, which is large. this was the worst mass shooting in the history of the new york city subway system and one of the worst mass shootings in the history of the city. thankfully, they had approximately 60 people in that subway car the fact that only ten people were shot, most of them in the legs, it's a miracle, terrorizing those in that subway car they'll live with that forever, with respect to that. but the investigation will continue to no forward in a very big way. they will try to learn as much as they can. he was forewarned about his actions, probably not unless somebody was looking at his youtube or notified law enforcement about some of the threats. the police would have had no real reason to be looking at his youtube. there's tense of millions that post every day. police cannot be proactively looking at that without some form or indication that there is a crime about to be committed or is being committed. so a lot of focus on the video systems in the new york city subway system. my time with the transit police in the 1990. those systems are very difficult to maintain and there would be a lot of discussion going forward about how to approve those circumstances. >> we will get into that later this hour as well, thank you very much for joining us, andrew mccabe, thanks to you as well. just ahead, we will have more on the city subway attack and the urgent manhunt leading to the suspect. the u.s. is now sending $800 million worth of sophisticated military equipment to ukraine as russian forces renew their offensive. pentagon spokesman john kirby is standing by live. he'll join me. dove knows we damage our hair a lot my hair i curl it. i have to use a lot of heat new dove hair therapy smpoo & conditioner with ceramide & peptide. it nourishes aa cellular vel to rescue damaged hair. scover 10 x stronger hair with new dove ha therapy rescue and protect. he used to have gum problems. now, he uses therabreath healthy gums oral rinse with clinically-proven ingredients and his gum problems have vanished.

>> reporter: that's right, banned by many countries. you can see from this video, it shows cluster munition bomblets dispersion over civilian areas, debt 98 over buildings on the road, in kharkiv. it is not the first time russia has been accused of using cluster munition like this in a civilian area in this war. a new report issued by the organization for security and cooperation in europe which details violations of humanitarian rights law says it is aware of 134 separate npsd of these munitions used. it makes the point using these weapons in a belt-up, heavy populated area is almost always a war crime. this is one type of war crime among many, which it says russia has likely committed and is detailed in this report released today. >> phil black, stay safe. we will get back to you. also break tonight, president biden says the united states is sending ukraine a major new security package $800 million worth of drones attack helicopters, artillery and more. let's discuss with john kirby, press secretary, thank you for joining us. these are capabilities provided for the first time in this war. but can you tell us more about these new weapons and why the u.s. decided to step up its military support for ukraine now? >> the reason this package looks the way it does is because of conversations over recent days with ukrainians themselves, president biden spoke with president zelenskyy just today and talked about the kind of capabilities the ukrainians need in the fight now in the donbas, where russians will be focusing much more on their efforts in the coming days and weeks, artillery is a great example of that. we are giving them howitzers with artillery round, we know artillery will be a factor. you can see it on the russian side as well, the russians are bringing in artillery assets of their own. the counterartillery radar will save ukrainian lives. it will defend them against incoming ar rilry. so there is a whole range of capabilities that are different, true, but they are designed if concert with the ukrainian's needs for the fight that's coming. >> when will ukrainians get their hands on these critically important weapons, how long lit take for them to be trained on how to use them in. >> a couple thoughts here, one, it won't take long, from the time the president authorizes we have been able to get things into ukraine in as little as four-to-six days. there will be multiple shipments that will flow overcoming days and weeks for sure. as we are training, a lot of these systems don't require any training as at all. they know how to use a hum-vee, a javelin a switch blade now. some of these systems will require a little training. the howitzers, the counterbattery radars, the air defense radar that will require a little training. not much. we are, working hard on what kind of a training we can put in place? probably for a small ukrainian soldiers, removing them out of the country. showing them how to use these systems and have them go in and train others of their teammates. these are not ultra sophisticated systems. >> will these new weapons being sent to ukraine be enough to help ukraine face what's clearly emerging as a major ramped up military assault in the east. this will be a different battle, for example, than the battle for kiev. >> this is going to be a struggle in the pentagon we call long range fires, ar ril i tillry, rocket fires, short-range missiles. because of the terrain and topography, the fact they are fighting over eight years, trying to give them capably itselves that they say they need and that we can provide. i'd also add in, it's not just the united states. we are helping coordinate the shipments of other types of capabilities and systems like lodge-range air defense we know ukrainiansed into from other nations. there is a lot of effort going in here. we do believe based on our conversations, these kind of capability itself will be quite effective. >> the french military says this russian large scale offense 95 their words is coming perhaps within a matter of a few days and russia could try to push as far as the river. what's the u.s. assessment on the time line of the russian military objectives in this new phase of the war? sflit not exactly clear, wolf. we do already see the russians begin to refit, resupply and try to reenforce some of the units in the donbas. we see them flowing in. reespecially and command and control and enabling russia into the northern area of the donbas. so it's already -- you can see them already sort of trying to shape the environment. it's unclear exactly when full-on offensive operations might occur. i would remind your viewers the donbas has been in a hot war for eight years. the ukrainians and russians have been fighting over it quite a long time. how long it will last, that remains to be seen as well, what are the ultimate goals? again, we don't know perfectly. it could be mr. putin wants to secure the donbas as a negotiating chip at the table. it could be he might declare that's the end all-be all of his war objectives are and assume for some sort or peace at that point or it could be he wants to use that as a bridge to go further and deeper into ukraine. we are not sure. what we will make sure ukraine can defend itself and all of its territory. >> important developments, indeed, john kirby at the pentagon, thank you very, very much. there is more breaking news, just ahead, russian forces pouring into eastern ukraine in a new military offensive, cnn is live on the scene. plus more on the abreast of the suspect in that chilling new york subway attack. we will talk to the system's top official when we come back. >> as a business owner, your bottom line is always top of mind. so start saving by switching to the mobile service designed for small business: comcast business mobile. flexible data plans mean you can get unlimited data or pay by the gig. all on the most reliable 5g network. with no line activation fees or term contracts... saving you up to $500 a year. and it's only available to comcast business internet customers. so boost your bottom line by switching today. comcast business. powering possibilities.™ . breaking news tonight, the arrest of a suspect in a new york subway shooting that shocked the city and the nation. the latest incident that has many new yorkers on edge right now. cnn brian todd, the city, new york shy city is experiencing an often dramatic rise in violent crime scrambling to turn the tide. they're trying to assure commuters they can get a hand him on this crime wave. an inexplicable burst of violence. part of what law enforcement experts say is a disturbing recent rise in gun violence and other crime in america's largest city? >> the criminals now have had years of success of doing what they want to do. ro the mass shooting in brooklyn was the most recent of several high profile attacks that illustrate new york city's crime wave. if january, michelle goh was killed by being pushed in front of a subway train, moments later in new york, a man stabbed four people killing two of them, in mid-february, christina una lee was followed into her apartment building in manhattan's china town and allegedly strand by an intruder. major crimes have gone up nearly 60% compared to the same month last year. much of it experts say is pandemic-related. >> a lot of the pandemic-related issues revolve around unemployment, housing insecurity, and then a lot of that just leads to mental health stressors. >> reporter: gun violence rising in new york to disturbing less new york city has seen over 320 shootings so far this year a. 72% increase from the same period two years ago. analysts say that's not just a new york city problem and they acontribute i tribute it to a simple, disturbing trend. >> overall increase in the number of guns. we see if record sales in 2020. we seen record sales for one, we assume they will increase in 2022. >> new york's police department trialing to attack that problem partially going after so-called ghost guns in the city, guns privately made and don't have serial numbers, crimes have jumped significantly in new york over the past year. >> you ride in a train. you don't even feel safe any more. this is just, you don't know what to do. >> reporter: new york's eric adams vows to turn the crime wave around. >> this is meant to be a safe city. >> experts warn of another possible spike as the weather gets warmer. >> more people are outside, it's more interaction with more people on the street, that gives criminals, what, more opportunities, hey, there is somebody i can rob. hey, are you aware of your nice vehicle, put your windows down, listen to your music. i want to that car. >> reporter: analysts say we have to keep all of this into perspecttive, the murder rate is far, far below what it was in the late '80s and early '90s and a professor harmon cited a figure for john j. collins over the past ten years only 6% of all of the streets in new york city had one or more shootings on them, washington, you do have to keep this in perspective. it was a lot worse. >> very disturbing, brian todd, thank you very much. let's discuss what's going on with general lee, chairman and ceo of the new york metropolitan, mta, thank you for joining us. thankfully, the suspect has been apprehended. but what are some of the immediate lessons you have learned from this attack to protect subway riders in new york city? >> washington, yesterday was a terrible day for new yorkers. today was a great day. the nypd came through with unparalleled capacity. they found the guy in 24 hours. we are celebrating. new yorkers are riding the subway 3 million plus a day. we are half of the riders in the country. we have been coming back. but there is no question as your shorters said. there are some challenges in front of us. fortunately, we have a mayor that made subway safety his top priority. he is coming through on it. i request get into the details. that is the top line is the mayor and governor committed to subway safety. we are starting to see turn around yesterday with a terrible setback. >> really an awful situation. the police as you well know, general, used mta video from other stations to help identify the suspect. can you say definitively, that only one camera at the shooting site wasn't working or was this a wider problem with the cameras at that specific station? >> no, wolf, we have increased from roughly 3,000 cameras in the subway system. we have a 4o station system. we are now up to 10,000 cameras increased like 70% in a few short years. yeah, there were a couple tamaras that definitely had internet hook-up linkage problems yesterday. but the police department combed through the video up and down the line. there were 600 cameras on that one line in brooklyn and they found a lot of material including visuals and multiple perspectives of this arrested guy coming into the system and leaving the system. i think it helped the pd in their investigation a great deal. >> could the suspect has been caught sooner, if that camera at that specific station where the shooting took place had actually been working? >> it doesn't appear so sentence he boarded a lot of people to safety and emerged further down the line. >> why wasn't it working? >> well, like i said, wolf, we're an internet-based system. it appears one or two again 10,000 cameras in the system are functioning on a particular day. but there is so much video from all of these different stations, 472 of them including there are more than a dozen on the line that the police were studying and further into the system, they caught video in the city. that's why we were able to help with this 10,000 camera system and it seems to be working with. a big step up from where we were a few short 82ers. >> those cameras are so, so important, indeed. thank you so much for joining us. thanks for all you are doing. we really appreciate it. >> thank you, just ahead, we will go live to ukraine for an update near the eastern front lines of russia's renewed assaults. stay with us you are in the "situation room." new dove body love. face care ingredients now in the shower. with hepatitis c i felt i couldn't be at my best for my family. in only 8 weeks with mavyret i was red. i faced reminders of my hep c everday. i worried about my hep c. but in only 8 weeks th mavyret i was cured. vyret is the only 8-week cure for all types of hep c. before starting mavyret your doctor will test if you've had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after treatment. tell your doctor if you've had hepatitis b, a liver or kidney transplant, other liver problems, hiv-1,or other medical conditions, and all medicines you take. don't take mavyret with atazanavir or rifampin, or if you've had certain liver problems. if you've had or have serious liver problems other than hep c, there's a rare chance they may worsen. signs of serious liver problems may include yellowing of the skin, abdominal pain or swelling, confusion, and unexplained bleeding or bruising. tell your doctor if you develop symptoms of liver disease. common side effects include headache and tiredness. with hep c behind me, i feel free fearless because i am cured. talk to your doctor about mavyret. learn how abbvie could help you save. since i left for college, my dad has gotten back into some of his old hobbies. and now he's taking trulicity, and it looks like he's gotten into some new healthier habits, too. what changes are you making for your type 2 diabetes?

>> well, once we are able to get access to areas in and around kiev, when russian forces withdraw, all we found was evidence of extraordinary violence. each of the cities that we visited like bucha ahave effectively been turned into crime scenes, where we have been documenting sudden executions, torture and other indiscriminate violence that left civilians dead or maimed over the course of the russian occupation. >> other parts of the country as you well know, including mariupol, for example, have been under vehicle for weeks. do you fever what we are seeing is only the tip of iceberg? >> well, since the beginning of the russian invasion of ukraine, we have been documenting humanitarian law an apparent war crimes remember this includes cluster munitions, places like kharkiv in the donetsk region in mykolaiv and, of course, it includes violence and violations in places like mariupol and the places under siege like in mariupol, people have been left without water, without food. without access to communications and humanitarian assistance for weeks on end. the individuals we interview just after a couple of weeks, describe extraordinary violence and difficult conditions including lack of water and food which left them really struggling to deal with the cold with the lack of heat and these conditions have only been extended and exacerbated. the suffering that civilians have faced in these areas. of course, mariupol is one of the post-devastating examples of violence they have seen and experienced since the start of the invasion. >> god only knows what we discover in mariupol. once there is ac says for the hundreds of thousands of people that are still stuck there. richard weir, thanks so much for joining us. thanks for all that you are doing. to our viewers, for information about how you can help humanitarian efforts in ukraine, go to cnn.com/impact to help impact your world. the breaking news continues next with details of a major military aid package for ukraine as it struggles to fight off russia's bloody and totally unprovoked invasion. >> when a truck hit my car, the insurance company wasn't fair. i didn't know what my case was worth. so i called the barnes firm. i was hit by a car and needed help. i called the barnes firm, that was the best call i could've made. i'm rich barnes. it's hard for people to know how much their accident case is worth. let our injury attorneys help you get the best result possible. ♪ the barnes firm injury attorneys ♪ ♪ call one eight hundred, eight million ♪ . more now breaking news, new details of a phone call between president biden and ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy, a substantial u.s. xilt of u.s. military aid to ukraine. let's go live to our chief correspondent caitlin colin. it's more sophisticated. the timing is especially crucial. what are you hearing over there? >> yeah, it is more sophisticated, wolf. the reason why this is heavier duty stuff in this new package is by design. according to white house officials who say as russia is shifting its strategy, as we talked about, they are focusing much more on eastern ukraine and launching what the white house is saying could be a major round of offensives to come in the next several days or weeks potentially. the white house is shifting what they're sending to ukraine, partly because they want to tailor it to what they expect the russians will do, partly because this is what ukrainians have been requesting. they spent hours on the phone with chairman millie chief of staff and going over what they believe what they are preparing for russia was unable to capture the major city. so this is a new $800 million package, he laid it out during his 58-minute call today. as you see, it includes attack helicopters, hundreds more of those switch blade drones. these artillery comes. i am told specifically as of last night, they were not included in this package, that changed during that call that zelenskyy and biden had today. i am told zelenskyy appealed to president biden saying ukraine needed these helicopters. so they will be including in that package. it are mains to see how they will get them there but the other thing here, washington, is they are trying to move quick lip. time is not their friend. they though russia is preparing to they are going to try to get this new military assistance into ukraine. >> so important. thank you. the unfolding horror in ukraine has finland and sweden edging closer and closer to joining nato to gain the alliances protection against russian aggression. cnn diplomatic editor nic robertson is joining us. he's over at eu headquarters. this would be a major addition to the nato alliance. >> finland is putting a document in fropts of its parliament beginning next week. they will talk about it for several weeks. they will take a decision on it. sweden could be following along behind them. i was speaking to a finish dip emp lomat in brussels. he told me the lesson they were seeing here is it was being attacked. we will give you weapons but we won't send you troops. that was the turning point. both making it very clear that russia's invasion changed the equation they see putin as more aggressive and more dangerous and they see the way that nato operates that an attack on one will draw support from the other nations. this will be significant. it will double the length of nato's land border with russia. finish border is about 830 miles long with russia. this is already drawing criticism from russia. putin's spokesman said this will not lead to greater stability in europe. expect push back from putin on this. it's exactly the opposite of what he wanted, wolf. >> could be a very dramatic moment, indeed. thanks very much. up next, potentially key testimony as two of former president trump's top lawyers are expected to meet with the house select committee investigating the january 6th insurrection. we'll be right back. if your moderate to severe crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis symptoms are stopping you in your tracks choose stera® from the start and move toward relief after the first dose with injections every twmonths. stelara® may increase your risk of infections, some serious, and cancer. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you have an infection, flu-like symptoms, sores, new skin growths, have had cancer, or if you need a vaccine. pres, a rare, potentially fatal brain condition, may be possible. some serious allergic reactions and lung inflammation can occur. feel unstoppable. ask your doctor how lasting remission can start with stelara®. janssen can help you explore cost support options. to be a thriver with metastatic breast cancer means... asking for what we want. and need. and we need more time. so, we want kisqali. women are living longer than ever before with kisqali... ..when taken with an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant in postmenopausal women or in men with hr+, her2- metastatic breast cancer. kisqali is a pill that's significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus an aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant alone. kisqali can cause lung problems, or an abnormal heartbeat, which can lead to death. it can cause serious skin reactions, liver problems, and low white blood cell counts that may result in severe infections. tell your doctor right away if you have new or worsening symptoms, including breathing problems, cough, chest pain, a change in your heartbeat, dizziness, yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine, tiredness, loss of appetite, abdomen pain, bleeding, bruising, fever, chills, or other symptoms of an infection, a severe or worsening rash, are or plan to become pregnant, or breastfeeding. avoid grapefruit during treatment. ask your doctor about living longer with kisqali.
