welcome to the show. it's 10:00 a.m. in ukraine. we begin with an unannounced visit to kyiv by some u.s. lawmakers. this video just coming in to us in the last few minutes. you'll see that is u.s. house speaker nancy pelosi leading a small democratic congressional delegation to meet with president volodymyr zelenskyy. pelosi says it was a message that america stands firmly with ukraine. we'll bring you details as soon as they become available. this video coming in to us in the last 10, 15 minutes. the visit comes amid a glimmer of hope for people trapped in the ukrainian city of mariupol after weeks under siege by russian forces and several failed evacuation attempts. a handful of civilians managed to leave on saturday. a ukrainian commander at the steel plant, the last bastion of ukraine's defense in mariupol, says 20 women and children got out after a cease-fire. but that really is a tiny fraction of the hundreds still trapped inside the plant and the thousands, of course, believed to be sheltering in other parts of the city. about 100,000 or so trapped in other parts of the city, it's believed. meanwhile, missile strikes hammered southern as well as eastern ukraine on saturday. in the southern port city of odesa, as you can see on your map, witnesses reported hearing several explosions. ukraine's military also confirmed that the runway at odesa's airport had been destroyed. in his nightly address, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy vowed to rebuild, have a listen. >> translator: the runway of the odesa airport was destroyed. we will, of course, rebuild it. but odesa will never forget such a russian attitude towards it. >> zelenskyy urged russian forces not to fight, saying russian commanders already know thousands of them will die. he added ukraine's army has destroyed more than 1,000 russian tanks and nearly 200 russian aircraft. we also have new video from the russian defense ministry confirming what ukraine's military has been saying for almost a week now, that russia is using submarines in the black sea to launch missile attacks on ukrainian targets. cnn's matt rivers has a closer look at the efforts to try and get civilians out of mariupol and the growing concerns about ukrainian soldiers who could be potentially left behind. >> out of mariupol, word coming from a ukrainian commander inside the steel plant complex that some civilians have managed to be evacuated. that complex the last remaining pocket of ukrainian resistance in a city that russia has otherwise completely controlled. inside that complex, hundreds of civilians alongside ukrainian fighters. this commander saying about 20 people managed to be evacuated during a cease-fire agreed to between russia and the ukrainian side with the red cross, according to this commander, involved. the plan, according to that commander, get those civilians to the city of zaporizhzhia, currently in ukrainian hands. the fate of those 20 civilians cnn cannot independently verify at this time. we can say conditions inside this complex are horrific and the people in there desperately need to be evacuated with a tweet coming from ukraine's official parliament account earlier on saturday saying, quote, powerful and deadly epidemics could soon break out in the city due to the lack of centralized water supply and sanitation, the decomposition of thousands of corpses under the rubble, and a catastrophic shortage of water and food. so a horrific situation that people desperately need to escape from. meanwhile, i did manage to have a conversation with a commander in the azov regiment which is one of the units that has been fighting for weeks and months in mariupol. he was injured during the fighting in that city. he managed to get smuggled out to get treatment. but he told us from the treatment facility that he is at right now that the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyy, should not forget about the soldiers if these civilians can get evacuated, he should try and do the same for the military. >> it's not only civilian that's the president's responsibility, say. the president's responsibility as well to save their military. no man stays behind. it's his responsibility to do as well. i would say, we need third country, third side, need to be involved as a guarantee with the international nongovernment organizations or government organizations who will provide guarantee for a safe evacuation for civilians or military. >> i asked that commander several times, we've asked people inside the steel plant complex, why don't the soldiers just surrender to the russians? the answer is the same every time, these soldiers who are fighting in that complex do not believe that they can safely surrender to the russians. in fact, many believe that they would be summarily executed. they've told me that personally. they think they would be killed by the russian forces if they were, in fact, to surrender. that's why they're calling on this third party country to get involved with these evacuations to guarantee their safety. but as far as we can tell, at least publicly no substantial progress made on that front as of yet. matt rivers, cnn, kyiv. >> of course we'll day stay on top of this story to see if there are any evacuations, if they continue today. i mentioned that russian missiles have again struck ukraine's third most popular city. residents of the southern port city of odesa on the black sea fear it's about to become a target of the invaders. our nick payton walsh has the latest for you. >> reporter: strikes on odessa have been intermittent since the war began, targeting often military infrastructure. the one we've just seen, no exception, hitting the airport. apparently its runway. it's unclear where they originated from. there have been images of russia putting submarines and launching missiles in the black sea. we've seen russian ships off the coast, one key, one hit and destroyed recently. a lot of russian activity to try and pressure odesa. the brought issue, many people in that russian-speaking city of over a million will be asking, this is the prelude to some wider assault on that city? or like we've seen over the past weeks, a bid to try and pressure it and keep ukrainian military officials guessing as to what russia's goal along that black sea coast actually is. they did say a couple of weeks ago the move towards the black sea coast would be part of a wider bid to control that area. but they've been trying that for months and they've failed. they failed to get past the first city of mykolaiv in multiple bids over the past months. that fits into the broader question, what is the push aimed at? is it west toward odesa like advertised? or is that a distraction? are they coming for here, the economic hub that's the hometown of the president volodymyr zelenskyy of ukraine? or headed east to join up with the offensive russia has been pushing hard there as well? you are hearing air raid sirens behind me. not uncommon, no explosions tonight. but a broader sense of concern here in this quiet but well-populated central city that something is brewing to their south. we're seeing villages change hands fast, ukraine pushback at times too. certainly concerns that russia's goals are in this direction. >> nick payton walsh. while the fighting may have shifted south and east, ukrainian investigators remain laser focused on the devastation russian troops have left behind. a warning, the images we are about to show you are graphic and very hard to watch. on friday, ukraine's president announced another mass grave had been discovered in the town of bucha, just outside of kyiv. ukrainian officials say they've recorded around 900 civilian deaths in the areas around the capital since russian troops withdrew last month. joining me now from kyiv is alexander machichoq, a human rights lawyer and heads the center for civil liberties. alexandra, good morning to you. i want to start with breaking news. in the last hour or so, we learned that the house speaker, nancy pelosi, made an unannounced visit to kyiv and met with president zelenskyy. we saw the video. first of all, what does this tell you about washington's commitment, first of all, to ukraine? >> it's a very important symbolical gesture. k kyiv and situation in kyiv is not stable. two days ago when we had official visit, secretary-general of u.n., we have two rockets shelling on residential district. and our colleague from radu liberty was killed because the rocket was shelled directly into her apartment. >> our condolences for the passing of your colleague. we did report this on cnn. our thoughts are with you and everyone close to her and the family. and these horrors we've been seeing, not just in kyiv as well, alexandra, but really across ukraine, images we're seeing, horrifying images out of bucha. we've had terrifying stories with that. give us a sense what was you've been seeing, what you've been hearing. >> since the beginning of russian large-scale invasion, they committed war crimes and crimes against humanity around the country. and we were committed different crimes under article 7 and 8 of the international criminal court, like deliberate shelling on civilian objects, deliberate destroying of critical civilian infrastructure, deliberate attack to civilians like killings, tortures, rapes, disappearances. attacks to medical personnel and hospital and other kind of crimes. and it show us, we see the systematic, well-organized shelling, it's going not only in bucha but in kharkiv region, other regions of ukraine. russia simply use war crimes as a method for fear. so it's a pattern of behavior which encourages and legitimized by the high officials of military and political russian federation. >> just explain to our viewers what constitutes a war crime. this is really important. >> like when we speak about war crime, i will provide examples by territories. because now the world was shocked after visible picture of atrocity when russians retreat from kyiv region, from bucha, irpin. i would like to remind, mariupol and other cities and settlements now under current russian occupation. and we received information, like not information, it's a request for help from relatives of people who were abducted, who were illegally detained, who were tortured in this occupied territory where there is no international presence and people are left alone with russian occupiers. and majority of this individual cases which we try to follow and we have a database of them, it's active people like civil society members, local authorities, journalists, human rights defenders, volunteers. it's deliberate policy of russia how to stay in control of their occupied region. they purposely targeted active civil society minorities in order to stop even nonviolent resistance in this area. >> alexandra, as you were talking, we have been hearing from the mariupol comment claiming russia has killed twice as many mariupol than nazi germany did. i want to bring part of what they said. this is mariupol city council post on its channel. in two years the nazis killed 10,000 civilians in mariupol. the russian occupiers killed over 20,000 mariupol residents in two months. over 40,000 people were forcibly removed. this coming from mariupol mayor. cnn is not independently able to verify these claims. but talk to us, if you can, of the challenges of verifying this. >> it's difficult to verify because we have isolated city of mariupol in reach of russian troops, other parts are still struggling regardless of the russian comment that they have control over the whole city, is not true. and there is no international presence there. mariupol city council also work in exile. so it's hard to verify. but it's understandable. the situation is dramatic. russians use a military method of sieges. what they have done for these two months, first they destroyed critical civilian infrastructure in order to deprive people from water, electricity, heating. i will remind you that it started in february. it's winter. people were without electricity in the winter. second, they put people into the basement. because they regularly shell residential objects. and people were in the basement without medical care and other appropriate assistance. also, they don't provide the possibilities to bring humanitarian assistance to the city and don't let civilians to way date from the city, they shut the evacuation corridors. that's led to the situation where if you even occasionally were injured, you have a very small chance to survive. because the whole system of medical assistance is ruined in the city. so i don't like comparisons, but i will wait to the end of the story when we will deoccupy mariupol and will be able to verify all wounded and dead people and see this intensive two months of these casualties, can show us a picture even worse. >> it is hard to verify important work. you're predicting it's going to be worse, it's so hard to comprehend. alexandra, i appreciate you taking time to speak to us, thanks for all your incredible and hard work. the number of ukrainians who have fled the country because of the war continues to grow. it now stands at more than 5.4 million people. that is a number that's an estimate according to the u.n., roughly the same as the entire populations of slovakia or norway. the u.n. also says far more ukrainians are stranded near the battle lines because of security concerns and damage, like alexandra was saying, to roads as well as bridges. actress angelina jolie, a special enjoy for the u.n. refugee agency, was seen visiting the lviv region on saturday. she visited children at a boarding school, a medical institution, and also went to a train station to meet the displaced there. she expressed her gratitude to the volunteers. >> very complicated, yes, but i imagine just to have a room where somebody shows that they care and is listening is so important. >> the ukrainian journalist says she ran into jolie during a coffee run in the outskirts of lviv. the journalist said many people inside the cafe did not even notice jolie. the u.n. refugee agency says they're not involved in her visit and she's in ukraine in her personal capacity. when we come back, unfortunately, more deadly violence in the middle east. clashes between israeli forces and palestinians break out as two separate shootings kill people on both sides of the conflict. we'll have a live report from jerusalem just ahead. then shanghai in lockdown. as one of china's biggest theme parks closes due to covid. we'll have both those stories after a short

earlier they detained two other palestinians in connection with the attack. shooting comes during a rise if violence between israelis and palestinians that started in the early march. journalist elliott gotkine joins me from jerusalem. good to see you today. at this point in time, the elelaqsa martyrs brigade claims responsibility saying it was, "in their words," a response to israeli aggression. the response, "there is no terrorist we cannot reach." is there an effort to try and reduce tensions here at all? because the last few weeks have been pretty unnerving. >> reporter: they have been unnerving. we have seen an uptick in violence the past month. we've seen 13 israelis and two foreign workers in israel being killed by palestinian or israeli-arab assailants. since march 22nd, 31 palestinians killed in clashes with israeli security forces. before this uptick in violence, there were from both sides, no one wanted to see any kind of wide-scale escalation, this is what we were hearing from the israeli security establishment. there was a sense that hamas, which controls the gaza strip and other militant groups, have no interest in a broader escalation. but we've seen ramadan, passover, easter, monday we've got eid, memorial day, independence day this week. there are concerns this uptick in violence will continue over the next few days. as mentioned in your introduction, this latest incident, an israeli security guard in the establishment of ariel, 50 kilometers north of jerusalem, killed by two gunmen friday night. the security forces say that he actually moved to protect a female security guard from being hurt. she was unharmed. and that female security guard reportedly was his fiancee. in another incident in a palestinian town, a palestinian man, a 27-year-old palestinian man, was killed in what israeli security forces say was a violent riot and there were further clashing at that man's funeral. unfortunately no sign things are abating. there is a positive, it that is we haven't seen the wide-scale escalation that we saw more or less a year ago when we saw clashes in mixed towns inside of israel. we saw the wide-scale escalation between israel and hamas in the gaza strip. so if there is a positive takeaway, it is that things haven't got to that point. at the moment, it doesn't seem that we're heading that way. >> as you point out, things have escalated in that direction before. elliot, thanks so much, i appreciate your update. police in afghanistan say an explosion in a kabul residential area killed one and wounded three others saturday. authorities say the blast was caused by a magnetic mine attached to a van. so far there's been no immediate claim of responsibility. the incident highlights, of course, the growing security concerns in the afghan capital where a day earlier, an explosion at a mosque killed at least ten and wounded dozens. the u.n. condemned that attack and called it the latest in a series of indiscriminate assaults on civilian targets. universal studios, beijing, will be closed starting on sunday because of the covid-19 outbreak. the theme park did not say when it might reopen. after several weeks in lockdown, shanghai reported nearly 7,900 new covid cases saturday and 38 deaths. the number of new local cases and deaths, we should point out, has declined slightly over the last two days. at least 27 chinese cities are now under future or partial lockdown affecting some 180 million residents. coming up for us, we'll have more on the unannounced visit by u.s. lawmakers, including house speaker nancy pelosi in kyiv this hour. also, there's no end in sight for at least some civilians who were stranded in mariupol's besieged steel plant. next, a small number of them did manage to leave after weeks of relentless russian bombardment. ? it's the modern way to transform fragrance infused with natural esessential oils into a mist. air wick essenential mist. connect to nature. there

>> reporter: she was joined by several senior members of this congressional delegation, including representatives gregory meeks, including adam schiff. pretty high-level delegation. it followed more along the security protocols that we're used to, isa, compared to the last senior visit that was undertaken by secretaries of state and defense of the united states. president zelenskyy foreshadowed their visit the night before, saying they would be coming, which was against kind of normal security protocol. this time this congressional delegation came and went. that is normally what happens with this high-level delegation where there's a lot of security risks involved. generally the vips come and then leave then they announce the visit. that is what appears to have happened here. we don't know exactly when that visit took place. both sides putting out statements about the meeting with president zelenskyy as you mentioned putting out a video. president zelenskyy saying, during that meeting, that he takes this visit as a sign of support and a signal that the united states is the, quote, leader of the support that ukraine is receiving against its -- for its fight against russia. we heard from house speaker nancy pelosi inside that meeting with president zelenskyy. i want to play a little bit of the sound of what she said. >> we believe that we are visiting you to say thank you for your fight for freedom, that we are on a frontier of freedom and that your fight is a fight for everyone. and so our commitment is to be there for you until the fight is done. >> reporter: really kind of signaling that she's been lockstep with what we've heard from president biden recently, which is that the united states is all in, in a way perhaps they weren't about a month ago. critics would have said a month ago the united states needed to be providing more heavy weaponry, more of the kinds of things ukraine says it needs. we've seen a real increase in terms of the scale of the united states support for ukraine in terms of that kind of heavy weaponry they're sending here. president biden recently asking congress for some $33 billion in aid to come here to ukraine. that is something that is now, in nancy pelosi's hands as she tries to shepherd that funding request through congress. >> coming weeks after secretary blinken and secretary of defense lloyd austin visited, of course. matt rivers for us in kyiv, appreciate it, matt, thank you very much. one ukrainian lawmaker does not have much faith in the future evacuations we were telling you about from mariupol. he told me a short time ago, he doesn't believe russia is interested in allowing many people to leave, have a listen. >> i'm very, very pessimistic about evacuation from mariupol. mariupol is the golden bough in russian propaganda. over 80 years they decide mariupol is a nazi nest and they decided to destroy this nazi nest. and all the time they said we are opening humanitarian corridor, we are opening green corridors, all this time is lies. of a, of course, the general secretary of united nations came to russia, then came to ukraine, the main reason why mariupol and the situation in mariupol. yeah, so they made this for 20 people. but i am really pessimistic about all other people in mariupol, 100,000 civilians and our army. >> and of course we're talking about what we've heard inside the azov steel plant where ukrainian commander tells us 20 civilians have been evacuated. so you're saying that you are pessimistic of further evacuations for the remainder of the civilians inside that steel plant, is that correct? >> yes. >> do you know whether they're going to try again today? >> we are trying day by day, we're trying to evacuate people, we're trying to have this deal with russia every day. every day. and it doesn't work. they don't want. >> what does that mean? we've talked about the civilians. do you have details of what this deal entails? do we know what will happen to the soldiers, including the wounded soldiers? are they part of this evacuation plan, dmitry? >> of course we want to evacuate also wounded soldiers, and of course we want to evacuate all the civilians. you have to understand that most of the civilians are families of ukrainian soldiers. and after bucha, we know what will happen with them if they will be captured. these women, these children, they will be raped and they will be killed. so of course we're trying to evacuate all of them. but importantly, as for now, without success. >> we don't know whether those soldiers are part of the evacuation plan, is that correct? >> from our side? of course we're trying to locate soldiers, evacuate soldiers and all the civilians. >> where would that mean? if they are evacuated or if they surrender, this basically gives in many ways a win to president putin, taking mariupol. what would that mean, do you think, for this city that's so beloved by many that i've spoken to? >> i'm not sure that will be victory for putin because he already announced his victory. he already announced that they captured mariupol. so that looks like he can have this victory twice. so for us, it will be really very, very harsh situation. because all that ukrainian army, all our guys are doing there is far beyond heroic. and for us, of course, they are a symbol of resistance. and we can, all of us, we hope that they can stay there until, with your help, with your weapons, with your weapons we can kick out russian troops out from mariupol and save our guys. >> the lawmaker also believes russia will try to continue with missile strikes across ukraine and says its stock has been severely completed. life is hard enough, now there's a massive drought and people are starving. coming up, the problems it causes and what's needed. parts of the united states reeling from several storms this weekend and another system might be in the works. details from the cnn was just ahead. pack at your pace. store your things until you're reaeady. then we deliver to your new home - - across town oror across the country. pods, your personal moving and storage t team. i'm jonathan lawson here to tell you about life insurance through the colonial penn program. if you're age 50 to 85, and looking to buy life insurance on a fixed budt, remember the three ps. life insurance whthe three pshree ps?
