to end their pregnancies. the supreme court's chief justice has confirmed the leaked draft opinion that would overturn roe v. wade is, in fact, authentic. that landmark rules has federally guaranteed safe and legal abortions for nearly a half century. and polls show a majority of americans support it. striking down roe would put states in charge of abortion laws and many would immediately enact their own bans. thousands of people right across the country have been protesting the court's likely decision, which we have to stress, again, is not final. the u.s. vice president called it, quote, a direct assault on freedom. >> now you at this very moment, roe v. wade remains the law of the land, but let's talk about what a world without roe looks like. women in almost half the country would see their access to abortion severely limited. in 13 of those states, women would lose access to abortion immediately and outright. >> let's take a look at some of the states she's referring to. the red ones you see there are all but certain to ban abortion. we will continue to have more on this breaking story, we'll have more for you in about 20 minutes from now. now, we were just saying, we already know the court's action on abortion will be a major campaign issue in this year's midterm elections, and apparently so will donald trump. we're seeing the first evidence of that in ohio. cnn projects j.d. vance, who was endorsed by trump, will be the republican senate primary candidate. he's best known as an author and will face democratic congressman tim ryan in november in what's expected to be one of the most hotly contested races of the season. now, that is the top stories from the united states, but we want to get you to the situation in ukraine. we want to bring in our isa soares, who is live for us now in lviv. isa, a day where there was some fwlim glimmer of hope and yet missile strikes right around the country. >> and not very far away from where i am here in lviv, which has been a place of refuge for so many. ukraine this morning really assessing the damage, paula, after several regions across the country were hit by russian missile strikes. take a look. this map we're showing you shows some of the places struck in the past, just in the past 24 hours. now, ukraine says missile strikes throughout the country caused severe damage to railways, as well as in infrastructure. here in lviv, in western ukraine, the mayor says two people are injured after russian missile strikes. and these images, you can see there, really shows a power station fire in the aftermath, knocking out power for parts of the city on tuesday. water supplies, we're being told, have also been affected. meanwhile, ukraine's president says more than 150 people have made it to safety after being evacuated from the azovstal steel plant and the other areas around mariupol. a ukrainian deputy prime minister says they have four humanitarian corridors planned to get more people out today if the situation really allows. i want to get cnn's nick paton walsh was there in zaporizhzhia when people started arriving on tuesday, he spoke with two women about some of the horrors they endured while trapped underground. have a listen to this. >> reporter: five buses only, but within them, the world's hopes of a way to deliver innocent ukrainians to safety from russia's onslaught. just over 100 civilians the first to leave the basement of the azovstal steel plant in mariupol, bringing with them stories of the circle of hell they lived in underground for weeks. this is olga. after two months in the dark, she struggles in sunlight still. i ask if she can see okay. "bad," she says, "i can't see anything in the sun." aged 78 and she keeps saying, completely alone, her entire life is in these two bags. 48 hours earlier, she was pictured in a ukrainian military video just walking out of mariupol cheerfully across the bridge. now, via the u.n. and red cross, talks in moscow and kyiv and countless russian checkpoints, she is here. worried she cannot fend for herself as a wound to her leg isn't healing because of her diabetes. the head torch that was her only source of light still around her neck. her toilet roll in her pocket. also coming off the bus is another familiar face -- ana, with her 6-month-old. embraced by her brother, one of many family reunions here. she was also seen in the same video as olga leaving mariupol. the day after the baby turned 6 months old. she is a french teacher in happier times. how do you feel now? tired? >> now, i feel happy and exhausted. because two months -- >> reporter: how did you live for two months in a basement with a 4-month-old boy? how did you eat? >> now i smile because -- because i can smile finally, because all these months i was crying a lot, every day. emotionally it was really very, very difficult. when we didn't have any food for him, we just took a candle and we heat water on the candle. >> reporter: the busy world she's emerged into now different for her. >> for me now, during -- how to say? >> reporter: air strikes. >> yeah, yeah, it's the most difficult and the most scary world, because now i -- when i -- sorry. >> reporter: it's okay. >> it's emotional. >> reporter: of course. >> now when there are a lot of noise, i have, like, reflex to hide myself, you know? >> reporter: what are you going to tell him when he's older? >> i just tell him that he was really very, very brave boy. very brave. he's very calm, he's the best child in the world. i can say. >> reporter: he's sleeping well. >> yeah. >> reporter: that's all you can ask for. >> exactly, yeah. and also i can say that -- i don't want for him to -- to repeat this story, or to repeat this story with his child. >> reporter: yet the terror they've all witnessed to will fuel a loathing that won't pass quickly. nick paton walsh, cnn, zaporizhzhia, ukraine. >> nick paton walsh really capturing the relief for so many of those families, including, of course, that baby. and joining me now is the senior fellow at the atlantic and the former spokesperson for the organization for security and cooperation in europe. michael, great to have you on the show. let's talk about what we saw overnight, really, in lviv, where 40 miles from poland and seeing yet again russia targeting these supply lines, the infrastructure. what can you tell me from what you saw and the sources you've been speaking to? >> yeah, well, major escalation. i saw the smoke from my window not far from here. and it seems what's happening is the russians are targeting the in infrastructure, transportation infrastructure that moves people and agriculture and cargo, but also military equipment. the lethal weaponry can't get to the front line fast enough, i'm being told, so, if they are trying to chokehold these supply lines, that's going to be a big problem. the other thing is, of course, civilian in sfrastructure was effected, water, power, wifi. if this continues, this could cause a blow to confidence of many here. >> do you know how quickly, you know, lviv is rebuilding again, because that is critical, like you said, to get not just food and goods moving, but having the heavy weaponry to the front lines. >> incredibly quickly. i mean, i spent a day with the state railroad company a few weeks ago and they pretty much repair the rail lines almost immediately after they're hit. so, they're very good at that and very good at rerouting traffic, as well. there are many options available to move cargo and, you know, weaponry and people, as well, so it may cause a temporary interruption, but definitely won't cut it off. >> yeah, i mean, with saw lviv pretty much dark last night, but very quickly, power came back. what does it tell you, the fact that russia's attacking these supply lines and infrastructure, about how the war is going on the front lines? are they succeeding so far? >> well, i think it's a sign of desperation. these are long range weaponry, usually shot from the black sea, but they're very expensive and they're not the most accurate in the world, but i think because of the huge losses on the battlefield of soldiers and also equipment, that they're turning to these other methods and that's why i kept on saying that no inch of ukraine will be safe unless they have the ability to close the skies off. >> and we've been hearing from u.s. and western officials that they believe putin's objective here is to take the donbas region. you and i have been speaking about this for some time. how real is that, given as we get closer to that may 9th victory day? >> yeah, well, up until now, they've had about 30% of that whole region. they want the whole thing, including all the way up to cram ma torsing, which is a key hub, especially militarily. i think the fact that the leader of that area showed up to mariupol. it was a brazen move. they are moving key people around now, and that's worrisome. but again, ukraine needs a lot more help than it is getting now to repel them. >> in the meantime, we are seeing civilian in sfrastructur being hit and journalists being killed, too. >> yeah, the numbers are at least ten dead so far. that equals roughly the number of journalists killed in afghanistan last year, which was the highest number for any single country and it represents about 20% of all journalists killed last year. foreign correspondents tell me that they're wondering whether now they're being deliberately targeted by the russian side, whether it's a risk to actually wear that press sign on their cars and vests. i've never heard of that happening before, so, that's very worrisome, but brave individuals, including colleagues from cnn. >> absolutely, absolutely. michael, great to have you on the show. and paula, i'll have much more from lviv in a bit, but first, obviously, we'll keep an eye on the situation in mariupol and whether we'll have any further evacuation. we are expecting evacuations from the city of mariupol itself, 100,000 people have been looking for a way out, out of mariupol, but we're still not sure what will happen to those still inside the azovstal steel plant, paula. >> yeah, we will wait and hope for more good news. isa, thank you. abortion rights activists here in the united states are outraged over the supreme court draft opinion that could overturn roe v. wade. more on our top story right after the break. , onetouch verio reflect® meter shshows instantly if you're below, within or above your range. it cheers you on and provides guidance. connected to your health and your phone. visit onetouch.com today.

>> reporter: well, paula, this particular one according to japan's coast guard, was fired at 12:03 p.m. local time. and they believe from the japanese side that it had an altitude of 800 kilometers, a distance of 500 kilometers, so, what that means is, it is a shorter range than what we have been seeing in recent months, certainly from march 24th, when you had that icbm, the intercontinental ballistic missile launch, which is believed to be capable of reaching mainland united states. so, this one is shorter range than we have been seeing, but over recent months, we have seen a lot of activity from north korea. this would be the 13th missile launch that we've seen this year alone. january is already in the record books for the number of missile launches. there's also been a number of big anniversaries, the 90th anniversary of the foundation of the army, we saw a large military parade for that particular anniversary, some of these missiles being paraded, including the hwasong-17, believed to be the largest of north korea's icbms. and we have also seen a number of other missile launches, for example, a new type of tactical guided weapon, according to north korea's state-run media. now, that was a short range that kim jong-un himself went to see, he doesn't usually go to those kind, so, that was clearly a very important weapons test. so, we have been told by kim jong-un back in january of last year exactly which weapons systems he wants to perfect and to be able to push forward and develop and one-by-one, he is going through these with the testing. timing important when it comes to north korea. just a week away, less than a week away from a new south korean president being inaugust rated here and just a few weeks away from the u.s. president joe biden visiting, as well. paula? >> important perspective, paula. good seeing you, thank you. now, millions across the u.s. say they are outraged as america's decades old battle over abortion rights is back in the spotlight. demonstrators took to the streets in cities from coast to coast after a leaked draft opinion from the supreme court that might overturn the landmark 1973 roe v. wade ruling that legalized abortions nationwide. cnn's paula reed has more for us. >> reporter: the leaked draft sparking protests across the country. >> the people united will never be defeated! >> reporter: and prompting questions. chief justice john roberts -- >> do you plan to investigate the leak? >> reporter: -- seen here leaving his home tuesday, issued a statement calling the leak an egregious breach. he has directed the marshal of the court to investigate. the court confirms the draft is authentic, but cautioned it does not represent a decision or position of any member on the issues in the case. the nearly 100-page opinion says a majority of justices are prepared to uphold a mississippi law that would ban abortion after 15 weeks and overturn roe v. wade, which established a right to abortion 50 years ago, leaving it to individual states to determine abortion's legality. justice samuel alito authored the draft, stating, there is no inherent right to an abortion, writing, the constitution makes no reference to abortion and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision. alito says roe was egregiously wrong from the start, and that its reasoning was exceptionally weak and the decision has had damaging consequences. the opinion is not expected to be published until late next month and could still be modified as draft opinions circulate and justices can change their vote. sources tell cnn roberts did not want to completely overturn roe. it appears alito was joined in his majority by justices clarence thomas, brett car kavanaugh, neil gorsuch, and amy coney barrett. even though kavanaugh and gorsuch called roe the law of the hand during their confirmation hearings. >> it is an important precedent of the supreme court. >> that's the law of the land, i accept the law of the land, senator, yes. >> reporter: senator susan collins, who voted in support of gorsuch and kavanaugh, said today in a statement the draft opinion was completely in inconsistent with what justice gorsuch and justice kavanaugh said in their hearings and in our meetings in my office. president biden called the draft decision radical, and echoed concerns that this decision could serve as a template for limiting other individual rights previously recognized by the court, like same-sex marriage and access to contraception. >> if the rationale of the decision as released were to be sustained, a whole range of rights are in question. >> reporter: but in the wake of this draft opinion, democrats are vowing to fight to protect abortion rights. >> will go down as an abomination. one of the worst, most damaging decisions in modern history. >> we could pass a law to protect every woman's right to an abortion and we should do that. >> if this turns out to be the opinion of the court and it's issued, it could have a major impact on the outcome of this election. >> reporter: republicans are condemning the leak itself. >> whoever committed this lawless act knew exactly what it could bring about. >> whoever did this leak should be prosecuted and should go to jail for a very long time. this has shaken the independence and the ability of the judiciary to function. >> reporter: paula reed, cnn, washington. now, for decades, right wing activists have kept the fight against roe v. wade at the heart of america's culture war. kerry severino says about the draft position. >> it's very clear that ameramerican s while they like the idea of roe and many who consider themselves pro-choice also would like to see more limits on abortion than roe, in fact, allows. roe actually requires abortion effectively on demand all nine months. this is more liberal than almost every country in the world, with the rare exception of places like china and north korea. the law at issue here in mississippi would outlaw abortions after 15 weeks, that itself is actually much more liberal than 47 out of 50 european nations that set earlier limits for abortion including france, spain, germany, norway, et cetera. so, what we're talking about is a much more nuanced position on the part of the american people than the supreme court decision reflects. what's good about this is, it's going to return that decision to the people themselves, who can then come to those political compromises and not be forced into a one size fits all regime for the nation that is, in fact, far more liberal than what the country would like to see. >> in the meantime, cnn's erin burnett asked democratic lawmaker jackie speier if abortion rights should be handled at the state level. >> those who make a states rights argument. "the new york times" points out that the comparisons with other countries, they note that only 11 other countries allow abortions for any reason after 15 weeks, which is the threshold in the mississippi law that this ruling is about. only 11 countries. and countries including germany, italy, norway, they all have limits before or up to 15 weeks. these are -- these are countries that the u.s. admires in many ways, right? we're talking about norway. why not use that threshold in cases that are not medical emergencies? >> well, in fact, it is something that we have always impoegzed, as well. we had a, you know, 24-week, or 22-week, limitation on abortion in this country and it's always been in conjunction with the life of the mother. and i think that the real concern here is that this is going to see complete erosion over time. if some states see this as an openening to do whatever they want, you're going to see more states do the copy cat of what texas has done, where there are going to be bounties that are going to be offered for anyone who assists a woman getting an abortion. again, it is a medical procedure that is safe and one that has been available to women in this country for almost 50 years. and that can't be lost on any of us. it is going to have a profound effect on women's abilities to lead their lives. to be able to provide for the children they already have, for instance. ahead for us, we return to our coverage of russia's war in ukraine. ththat's after a short break. allergies don't have tbe scary. spraying flonase daily stops your bodfrom overreacting to allergens all season long. psstpsst! flonase all good. ♪ it wasn't me by shaggy ♪ you're never responsible for unauthorized purchases on your discover card. >> tech: when you have auto glass damage, trust safelite. this dad and daughter were driving when they got a crack in their windshield.

>> they certainly appear to be targeting the electrical network, which is powering the trains and the rail network. and they're obviously trying to -- trying to cut the ukrainian movement of soldiers and ammunition and fuel into the forward areas. they seem to be succeeding in tying up repair crews and in slowing everything down. >> and what does that tell you, then, in that case, peter, about how the battle's shaping up on the front lines or how that it could effect the battle on the front lines? >> it can effect the battle on the front lines in that the ukrainian front line troops start to run out of replacement soldiers, fuel, food, and ammunition. that can slow everything down a lot. the ukrainians would also find it difficult to withdraw and move their troops around the country. at the present time, there seems to be possibly an offensive mounting towards -- in the east, ukraine. the ukrainians might like to shift some troops there, or shift them out of there. the attacks on the rail line network are an attempt to slow this down and make moving them much more difficult. >> and do you think these attacks we've seen right across ukraine the last 24 hours, do you think we'll start to see a ramp-up of these as we get closer to that may the 9th, russia's victory parade, i should say? >> certainly, everyone is expecting president putin to make some big -- some big statement. the attacks are meant to be supporting the current operations going on that the russian army's mounting in the east. i don't see them as being anything particularly strategic in that particular sense. more about helping out the russian army in the east. >> let's talk about the battlefield, that offensive in the east. i was just reading the uk defense intelligence, just in the last few minutes, that says despite struggling to break through, that russia is highly likely, intends to proceed, it says, to kramatorsk, as you can see there, and donetsk. what do you make of this strategy here? because it seems like it's being used as a staging point, isn't it? >> yeah, certainly from the operational point of view, it makes good common sense, if you like straightening out the map. and you can see that would give the russians a tactical victory and force the ukrainians to withdraw from where they've been for, well, since sort of -- since 2014. however, the ukrainians are mounting some successful counter attacks north of there, so, to a certain extent, i'm surprised the russians think they have a chance there. it seems unlike ly they would make that breakthrough. as well, when i said operational level success, stra teejingly it doesn't make sense, either. you would think an attack down south into odesa, so they could cut ukraine off from the sea. that would seem the big strategic victory that putin needs. instead, you have this sort of relatively minor action, which while it's important in that sort of sense, is not strategically vital. >> yeah, we have seen them trying with some strikes in odesa to really push back by ukrainian forces. odesa is pretty big, it's pretty large. let me get your thoughts on what we heard from the u.s. ambassador to the osce yesterday saying there are no indications whatsoever, he said, that putin's about to end this war. do you agree with this view? >> ah, certainly, i think that he's right but i think that putin will still attempt on victory day to paint the current location of the russian army as a victory and i think that there's still a chance that he may declare a cease-fire, which the ukrainians may not agree with. certainly putin wants to keep the territory he has captured. if there's a chance the ukrainians might counterattack and drive the russians out, they'll try and freeze the conflict in place somehow. the idea about mobilization, of course, is that this conflict goes on, whether at an increased rate or at a frozen state, but making -- declaring war allows putin to then mobilize the russian public and conscript troops easier. >> yeah, and that's something, of course, that we've been hearing from u.s. and western officials, of course, for him to get that. we don't know what that victory will be, because right now, it doesn't seem to have made many gains, of course. mariupol still holding strong inside the azovstal steel plant. peter layton, appreciate your time. >> thanks. well, the war in ukraine is now in its third month and ukrainian families all over the country have experienced really the pain of losing loved ones in this conflict. sometimes multiple loved ones. i traveled to a small town just outside of lviv and saw first-hand how residents are coping with their losses. pain and sorrow as the unbearable weight of war reverberates in this small town outside of lviv. yet another soldier gone too soon. konstantin was 48 years old. a father of two young men. originally from the east of ukraine, he fled here with his family. only to enlist and get drafted. within less than two months, konstantin's life was taken. his family has been torn apart. the mayor, who hasn't missed one funeral, tells me it's been too many since russia annexed crime mia in 2014. "at first i felt guilty that i'm here, not there with them, but i was told that my mission is to be here, to support the families." the ripple effects of russia's war are evident in this town in the west of ukraine. hundreds of miles away from the front lines. just a few graves down from konstantin, we've learned from the mayor that this young soldier who died in battle in 2018, that his own mother is currently inside the azovstal steel plant, defending mariupol from russian invasion. it's the tale of one family defined by war. and it's one we're keen to learn more about. so, we drive to the family home. and we are instantly absorbed by her haunting display of geef. she says her grandson yuri was a sergeant with the azov battalion, who specializes as a sniper. it's difficult to explain how much i loved him, she says. his death at the mere age of 23 made the front page of the local paper. it was too much for her and his mother natalia to take. so, in her late 40s, natalia ended up enlisting with the same regimen. she begged her daughter to leave azovstal, but she rejected two offers. she is in that hell, she tells me. we try to call natalia to no avail. later, though, we manage to reach natalia via text message. morale is high, she writes back. the soldiers will fight to the end. wait for us to come back with victory. not all have come back, though. she tells me her granddaughter's husband died in mariupol. his body moved to the azovstal complex, unable to be brought home. her insurmountable loss just too much to bear. "i have this wound for the rest of my life. it's very difficult to live with," she tells me. "of course i'm proud that they died for ukraine. she tells me she finds solace working on her plot of land and invites us to come and see it for ourselves. in the car, finally a smile. now on her land, and even here in the peace of nature, she's reminded of what has been robbed from her. "these are yuri's trees," she tells me. comfort and company for a woman who bears the weight of grief and the incomprehensive pain of an unwarranted war. a family right there that has been defined by war. we are in touch with natalia, we haven't heard from her in the last 24 hours or so, of course, natalia's inside that azovstal steel plant so we'll keep on trying. we'll take a short break, be back in a very short moment. you are watching c cnn. we need to reduce plastic waste in the environment. that's why at america's beverage companies, our bottles are made to be re-made. not all plastic is the same. we're carefully designing our bottles to be 100% recyclable, including the caps. they're collected and separated from other plastics, so they can be turned back into material that we use to make new bottles. that completes the circle and reduces plastic waste. please help us get every bottle back. ♪ ♪ ♪i'm so defensive,♪ ♪i got bongos thumping in my chest♪ ♪and something tells me they don't beat me♪ ♪ ♪ ♪he'd better not take the ring from me.♪ endorsement from donald trump apparently still carries a lot of weight with republican voters in ohio. cnn projects trump-backed author j.d. vance will win the state's gop senate primary after what was a bruising company. cnn's jeff zeleny has the report. >> reporter: in one of the first big primary nights of the 2022 midterm campaign season, a big republican victory in cincinnati for j.d. vance who emerged the victor in a crowded primary field for the u.s. senate. now this is a race to replace retiring senator rob portman. he was running against a field of five other major conditions and emerged as the winner at the end, thanks to the endorsement from former president donald trump. this has been viewed as a test of the former president's strength inside the republican party, and one of the first people j.d. vance thanked tonight was mr. trump. >> i absolutely have to thank the 45th, the president of the united states, donald j. trump, ladies and gentlemen. one, for giving us an example of what could be in this country. ladies and gentlemen, remember 2019 when wages were going up and not down? remember 2019, when workers were doing well in this country, not struggling terribly? thanks to the president for everything, for endorsing me. >> reporter: vance best known as a best-selling author, has never run for public office before. in his first campaign, he not only defeated several seasoned republican candidates, he also introduced himself to ohio voters. now, for the next six months, he'll be running against democratic congressman tim ryan, who vance accused of trying to act like a trump democrat. of course, this will be one of the most competitive races in the fall campaign, but more importantly, urgently, this is a big test of the former president's strength going forward. he's offered endorsements in several house, senate, and governors races. the strength will be tested throughout the month of may if he's a king maker in his party. the first try on that stop here in ohio, mr. trump showed that he still is. jeff zeleny, cnn, cincinnati. social media videos are fueling more backlash against chinese officials and their handling of shanghai's covid outbreak. we will have a live report from the region, as millions of people are still under lockdown.
