president zelenskyy's office announced the rescue effort but no word yet on how it can happen. in mariupol, an official says russian troops are blocking a section of the city right near the plant. it's possible russians will still storm that facility. survivors say they have not seen sunlight for weeks. this is the video of them in the basement. diapers are being reused. food, water, medication are almost gone. in just the past day, ukraine says 50 air strikes have rained down on that steel plant, wounding more than 600 civilians inside. a ukrainian commander from inside told cnn what it's like on day 64 as russians surround them. >> the situation is critical. it's beyond a humanitarian catastrophe. these are hundreds of people, and they have dozens of children with them. the youngest is 4 months old. we cannot tell you for sure how long we can hold on for. that all depends on the enemy movement and also on luck. >> with so many lives at stake, the pentagon was asked if vladimir putin is a rational actor, and it prompted this response from the press secretary moments ago. >> it's difficult to look at the -- sorry. it's difficult to look at some of the images and imagine that any well-thinking serious mature leader would do that. >> u.s. officials assess that russia is making incremental advances in the donbas region in the east. but ukrainians are fighting back in that same region, a field depot controlled by russians was hit, and ukrainians say they have retaken a village near kharkiv, where we see the ukrainian flag flying once again over the town hall. it was hard to hear john kirby be so emotional. we're watching minute by minute, praying that they can get out of that factory in mariupol. and anderson, i know where you are in kyiv, there were also air strikes yesterday, and that was when the head of the united nations was just finishing up there. what have you learned since then? >> i talked to the mayor of kyiv who said that was essentially a middle finger, his words, or his phrase both to the secretary general and obviously to the international community. what one person was killed in that air strike, six others were wounded. the russian ministry of defense claimed responsibility for striking a facility in kyiv it says made plane parts and missiles, and in a move to help ukraine's defense. kyiv officials are urging people to not drive their cars because of a fuel shortage in order to reserve the gas for a military. matt rivers is here with me in kyiv. that air strike initially said there were five missiles and ten people were injured. now they know one person was killed. >> we went to the scene today, and last night when you and i were talking. they were only talking about people being injured. when we were on scene this morning watching rescuers go through the rubble. we watched them find a body, and we learned through friends that it was a journalist, actually, a woman who was living in this apartment complex, a 54-year-old woman, a radio reporter here in town, and rescuers still going through the rubble and it goes to show you that these initial reports, the damage in the building was so intense that you might not know about the casualties right away and this apartment building took the most damage from a strike that russia says was aimed toward a factory that was in the area, making air-to-air missiles, the largest such supplier in ukraine. it wasn't that factory, it was the apartment complex where this person was killed. >> the situation is sickening, the number of civilians, we don't know the exact numbers. there's estimates as high as a thousand civilians inside that steel plant, attempting to -- some attempts have been made to get them out. it is under heavy bombardment according to ukrainian official s s. >> and it just keeps getting worse. we spoke directly to a demander inside of the steel plant, the main fighting force left taking, you know, trying to stave off the russian advance into the steel plant complex, and they keep saying, the only way this is going to end is with an evacuation corridor, that each day that goes by, the supplies that we've always heard from the soldiers, they can generally last for a long time with the supplies that they have. they had to share those supplies with the hundreds and hundreds of civilians, often women and children inside that plant, and there's just a limited number of supplies. they keep saying we need an evacuation corridor, we need the red cross to step up and the united nations. we thought something would happen with the announcement from the zelenskyy administration that there was a plan in place to get people out. once again, we've heard that before, and it didn't materialize today, and now we go into another day where we're still waiting to see if anyone can get out. >> there are reports an american was killed, a former marine. he wasn't exactly volunteering, was he? >> he was a paid contractor, a military contractor. there are contractors that go to conflicts all over the world and get paid. according to the young man's family, he's 22 years old, he believed in this fight, and he joined this military contractor outfit because he wanted to come here and fight. and yet he was killed. his family says his body still has not been recovered. he leaves behind a wife and a 7-month-old baby. this is someone who his family said just really wanted to be here and help, but this illustrates the threat that i think he and other americans, we know there's other volunteers here from other countries, including the u.s., other countries in europe. they're mfacing mortal threats. >> the and medical facilities, they try to get people evacuated within an hour of sustaining a life threatening injury. >> they haven't found his body, he's been killed. they haven't been able to retrieve his body, and it goes to show you when you go out there and you're on the front lines, it's not like the u.s. military which has the capacity to evacuate people. it's just not that way in this particular conflict. >> reporter: appreciate it. thanks. i want to go to alex marquardt, the host of the g20 this fall said president putin has accepted an invitation to attend the event. they said russia shouldn't be allowed to participate. alex marquardt joins us now. what are you hearing about this. >> the white house saying they made clear to indonesia privately and publicly, they don't want president putin to attend the summit. this is in six month's time, being held on the indonesian island of bali. a lot can change between now and then. many world leaders including president biden want to make sure that president putin becomes an international pariah, as a result of this unprovoked brutal war in ukraine. the biden administration is weighing what to do. you could boycott the summit all together. there are risks to that, of course, that would then allow countries like russia and china to run a bit more of the table, what goes on there. you could send a lower level delegation. you could attend virtually. the sense now, according to our white house colleague kevin liptak is that president biden will still attend. again, a lot can change between now and then. the president of indonesia said he spoke with both president search and president putin earlier this week. he says he told president putin that the war should end immediately. this is part of what indonesian president said today, indonesia wants to unite the g20, don't let there be a split. peace and stability are the keys to recovery and development of the world economy. president zelenskyy did confirm he was invited. he said he was grateful for that invitation, but he did not confirm his attendance, of course, anderson, the war could very well still be going on in november. as for the g20, there was a meeting here in washington, d.c. last week of g20 finance ministers, and during the that meeting, there was a walkout by the u.s. secretary of the treasury, janet yellen, as well as other western finance ministers. yellen said it simply cannot be business as usual, anderson. >> alex marquardt, appreciate it. thanks, alex. >> let's go back to allison. >> anderson, thank you very much. with us is cnn military analyst, retired general wesley clark who once served as nato supreme allied commander. thank you so much for being here. about that mariupol siege and the people, the babies and children and elderly who are trapped inside, is there anything nato or the u.s. can do to help them survive? >> well, we go in and lead a relief, and book the siege. we put aircraft in, strike forces on the outside, and open it up when we can. we could do that. and the next best thing is to get all the supplies into ukraine so that ukrainians can mount a push. you know, alisyn, when we look at what the russians say and what they do, we realize this is a very cruel and crude psychological game. they want to mo nnopolize the ns media. they want to claim they're humanitarian, and they want to put the pressure on the ukrainian government, the international community, and of course the people inside by raising hopes. and dashing hopes. raising hopes and dashing hopes. it's a game. and they're latching at the way they can manipulate the western world, and our ideas and feelings. >> here's another nato question. turns out nato jets have been scrambled a few times this week to intercept russian planes who have gotten too close to alliance airspace over the baltic region. is that a recipe for disaster? >> well, it's not a recipe, it's a good thing. we think the baltic region is the next party zone for mr. putin. if he wanted to horizontally escalate. if he wanted to trstrike back a nato, he would do a play into the baltics because there's little doubt because through his forces in leningrad, where he various air defenses, nuclear weapons, they'd be able to dominate our ability to reinforce these baltic nations in a timely crisis or an actual conflict. nato forces there, a couple of battalions in each country, the countries are relatively small. and a strong force with some help from some disturbance inside, within three or four days, caused confusion that you wouldn't know what was happening, so yes, that's a distraction. he keeps those jets out there to keep us off balance, and to remind us, that's your vulnerability. you better watch it. this is like the same way they're warding off nuclear threats. he's fainting with us, and he might actually go pick up something. >> meanwhile, the pentagon just announced this afternoon, that u.s. service members are training ukrainian armed forces at military installations in germany. they wouldn't be specific, but they're providing artillery training, and training on radar systems, and armored vehicles, the florida national guard has been training ukrainians, and helping with all of this. how difficult is this? how long does this take? what does training like that look like? >> depends on the system. it might take a week. it might take three days. you've got a lot of really smart people who have signed up. they've been at war for eight years. and they've got a lot of college graduates filling positions that in our service would be filled by 19-year-olds right out of high school. so when you give them a system like a lot of them really know computers, able to use them like we do. got to do some basic training, artillery systems, three days, give them diagrams, yes, they've got to read it in the latin alphabet. almost everybody in ukraine can read the latin alphabet. a lot of them know english, at least enough to sort of manage it. i don't think it's near the problem that we had in iraq or afghanistan, how to train people. it's the opposite. they want that training. they want those weapons and they want to get into that fight as rapidly as possible. >> general wesley clark, thank you for your expertise. really great to talk to you. well, back here, oklahoma just passed a bill that bans abortion at six weeks, and put the enforcement of the law in the hands of citizens. we have more on how that will work, ahead. and drought conditions in the western u.s. are so bad, one reservoir responsible for supplying millions with water is drying up. we have that story next. that the in some sort of lover's quarrel. no, no, no. they're both invested... in greenen energy. and also each other. digital tools so impressive, you just can't t stop. what would you like the power to do?

who's furthest along? >> interestingly, we've seen three states, florida as you mentioned, arizona, also kentucky. they have passed laws recently banning abortion at 15 weeks. that's a crucial marker. that falls in line with the mississippi 15-week ban, that's on hold but the supreme court is considering that law. really a flurry of republican dominated states, passing laws, severely restricting abortion, and they are doing it because they have interpreted signals coming from the supreme court, they're interpreting it as allowing them to crack down a lot more on abortion. we're a few weeks away from what will be the supreme court's ruling on the mississippi ban. it will end, it will rule by the end of june, and crucially here, if that law is upheld or if the court goes even further and overturns roe v. wade, we will see more states severely restricting or banning abortions. several states have trigger laws that would ban abortion. >> we'll be watching closely. thank you. more evidence of the dire climate crisis. take a look at these new images of lake mead. so this is the reservoir that supplies water for millions of people, and it is at an unprecedented low. it's so low, you can see one of its original water intake valves exposed for the very first time. cnn's stephanie elam is following this mega drought, can anything be done to help here? >> we could start saving more water. when you talk about climate change and drought, sometimes it's hard for people to see exactly how this is impacting them, and now this is something you can actually see with your own eyes just how low. this valve was put into operation in 1971 by the southern nevada water authority, and now they're saying as of earlier this month, it is no longer able to take in water because it is just too high up now. it's actually exposed to the air. you see this graphic here from them. you can see they have put in the new low lake level pumping station, and that is that bottom tier. now that is in action, it is now operating, they're saying it started working seamlessly for the 2.2 million people in southern nevada who rely on their water out of lake mead. what this shows us is lake mead, which supplies water to some 40 million people across seven states, some native american tribes as well as into mexico, rely on lake mead and the colorado river basin for their water. this shows you just how low that water is getting. you combine that with the overall drought that we have and the snow pack which is practically nonexistent in the sierra nevada mountains. that's impacting how much water is going to different municipalities here in california. so already, we are starting to see some places saying that mandatory cuts are ahead. for example, in some places in southern california, one day a week for watering outdoors. that's what's going to happen june 1st. if that's not enough, it will be no outdoor watering come september 1st, and this is all because of the fact that there's just not enough water to go around. and alisyn, keep in mind that 70% of what people use for water here goes to outdoor watering. so if they cut that out, it actually would help us save a lot of water. >> that's interesting. stephanie elam, thank you for bringing that to our attention. now to this, 1,500 books have been banned in public schools this past year. now one public library is fighting back to get these books to kids. unlike ordinary memory supplements, neuriva plus fuels six key indicators of braiain performan. more brain performance?

"the bluest eye" 1970. why this year are these suddenly objectionable. >> there's something in the air, i can't say why exactly it's happening right now. the alarming thing is it is, and it's affecting children and communities that desperately need to be able to read whatever they choose. it's at the heart of whatever the library stand for. >> tell me about your initiative to fight back. >> yeah, so what we've decided to do is figure out a way to get books in the hands of especially teenagers who are searching for material and we have launched an initiative to put free library cards into the hands of people from 13 to 21 years of age for a year to give them access to our collections remotely. >> so basically, these are e library cards, and these kids, young adults can log on, and then have access to these books. and basically, they're never out of circulation. i mean, it's not like a book is checked out if you're looking for an e book? >> right. so certain books will have limitless quantities, but the idea is that you e-mail us in response to this, you know, initiative that's been launched. we've gotten some really extraordinary responses already, really poignant, and heartbreaking. >> tell us. tell us about those. i'm interested in the response that you've gotten. >> i mean, i think that these books fall into two categories. dealing with either lgbtq issues or critical race theory, and especially for the ones that are dealing with gender and sexual identity, you know, teenagers are looking for material, maybe don't feel comfortable going to their teachers or their lib librarians or parents and can't find the books. they're writing these paragraphs about what a god send this is, and how much they appreciate the effort, and at the same time, we're connecting them with teens in brooklyn and so we're setting up book discussions, and there's a whole outreach that's going on in addition to just providing the material and the material is substantial. you know, we have over 350,000 e-books and 200,000 audio books that are available and also, you know, hundreds of databases. >> yeah, well, i was interested to hear about how it's actually creating a community of connection even if they don't go to school together or live in the same state. linda johnson, thank you very much for explaining what you're doing. >> oh, thanks so much for having me. it's an important issue. >> indeed. okay. less than a day after visiting kyiv while the city was under russian air strikes, the u.n. secretary general reaffirms his commitment to save ukrainians from the front lines. we have more on that next. what if you could have the perspective to see m more? at morgan stanley, a global collective of thought leaders offers investors a broader view. ♪ we see companies protectin the bottom line by putting people first. we see a bright future, still hungry for t ingenuity of those ready for the next challenge. today, we are translating decades of experience into strategies for the road ahead. we are morgan stanley. ♪ ♪ i came, i saw, i conquered.

>> putin has done that many times before, for example, lviv, my hometown in the west where the supplies come from european union, he has sent his missiles time and time again to showcase that he will not tolerate basically west supporting and sending weapons into ukraine. the fact of the matter is, again, putin doesn't care about national law and national rules. he has done this in different parts of the world, time and time again, for the world to remind, he needs to be thrown out the international conference, forum and institution. >> reporter: excuse me, an air-raid siren is going off in kyiv. we were in bucha, i talked to the prosecutor in bucha who is gathering evidence for war crimes trial against russian forces who were there. i know you've been to other villages in town where russian troops are accused of carrying out atrocities. are you confident russian forces will be held accountable for war crimes? >> this is very clear, try to destroy other nations and impose their will, and kill as many people as possible in the process. it shall destroy mr. putin, and i'm glad and thankful to the west and america for finding the means to do so, and we will punish him and punish his madness here in ukraine with all the world's might, so thank you for this. >> reporter: you are not only a member of parliament, you're also a mobilized soldier. you've been to the front lines. has the fighting changed recently? what's the nature of the fighting now in the east that you've seen? >> during the t15th of march ner kyiv the reality of fighting there is that russians essentially were facing extremely hostile occupation they were enforcing, and what you see in bucha is the reality of the respondent, and basically they were defeated by all the forces there showing clearly that capital is not something we will bargain about. we will stand there to the last defending our capital. the president has made that clear and every single member of parliament and the arm forces have shown that basically pushing russians away from kyiv no matter how many tanks and apcs they were sending. the eastern battle is different. mariupol is very clear about how russians want to proceed. they want to destroy cities to their core, and then come in and declare they conquered a city. they've done this in mariupol. they're doing this to kharkiv right now when i'm talking to you, and the fact of the matter is this will continue on until the west intervenes and puts a stop to this madness. >> reporter: yurash, i appreciate your time. we'll bebe right back. >> thank you. isn't thatat right, frank?
