you don't i'm saying all right. i'm fredricka whitfield. thank you so much for being with me today. cnn newsroom continues with omar jimenez, right now. >> welcome everyone. you're in the cnn newsroom. i'm omar jimenez in washington. we begin tonight with breaking news. the israeli military says they are investigating what they're calling an incident in southern gaza that killed eight idf soldiers, making it one of the single deadliest incident involving israeli troops since the october 7 attacks. now, earlier, the militant wing of hamas says, it, quote, carried out a complex ambush against enemy vehicles meanwhile, rafah's civil defense says there has been new airstrikes and artillery shelling by israeli forces in the areas it's done. cnn's oren liebermann is in haifa for us now, or in the idf just released some preliminary findings from their investigation. what are they saying happened here? >> so this again is preliminary as you point at the investigation itself is ongoing and it all plays out according to the idf at approximately 515 this morning in western rafah in the tal al-sultan neighborhood. that's when this in armored personnel carrier was struck with an explosive that killed eight soldiers there. they haven't named most of those soldiers because they've only named the captain who was likely in charge of that combat engineering unit. >> they say the vehicle itself was hit with a sidebar, though it's unclear if it was something a fixed to the vehicle then exploded or if it was struck with some sort of projectile, the vehicle itself, the idf says also had explosives on it as part of its combat engineering role. >> and it's possible those were detonated even though they are not supposed to explode, regardless of what happens around them, the idf says that led to a quote significant explosion that killed the aid, who we're with that arm from word personnel carrier. they say it was difficult to locate the remains following that explosion. again, the investigation continues. meanwhile, the al-qassam brigades, the military wing of hamas, says they carried out what they called a complex operation targeting first an idf military bulldozer, and then when the rescue team showed up, the extraction team they targeted that vehicle, possibly the armored personnel carrier. that part is unclear with explosives claiming that they killed those soldiers inside. meanwhile, the rafah civil brigade, as you pointed out, talked about fighting airstrikes and artillery strikes in rafah's early this morning, it's possible these are all describing the exact same incident. we will learn more as the idf investigation continues or yeah, solely following details that are trickling out at this point, many of them preliminary as we've pointed out, or i also want to bring you back in on another point because obviously, as we've seen, the fighting in gaza, there's also been a political dynamic at home and israel where we've seen massive crowds gathering in tel aviv tonight, for example, demanding new government elections. you're seeing some of those live pictures on your, on your screen there for those watching, i mean, how big are these protests expected to get? and can you contextualize what we're seeing here over what we have seen over, over recent months in the country we don't have an accurate fixed on how many people are there, but safe to say there are tens of thousands of israelis in tel aviv out protesting against government and it's not just in tel aviv. there are pictures of protests in jerusalem and possibly other places according across the country, the size of them is impressive, but crucially so is the longevity. these are protests, anti-government protests that began before the war. they took a break on october 7. and for the first few weeks and months of the war. but now they have very much returned and look like they are here to stay. this is a crowd that's incredibly frustrated and angry with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. they want to see the government had two elections. they also want to see a ceasefire deal with largely and want to see the hostages brought home. so you are seeing that anger pouring out onto the streets and omar, i suspect as you did before the war, you will see these saturday after saturday, a population until it even elsewhere, angry with prime minister benjamin netanyahu and his government, including far-right ministers yeah. >> and for those watching, we're going to continue to keep an eye on how these protests are unfolding throughout the evening there. but oren, thank you for bringing us report on that. and of course as we follow details on what happened with the idf soldiers that have been killed appreciate it. >> all right, meanwhile, world's leaders wrapped this year's g7 summit with a pretty stark message for the two most powerful nations that weren't there, russia and china. now those two countries skip ukraine's peace forum happening now in switzerland and their absence really speaks it's volumes as the war in ukraine further divides world powers, cnn's nic robertson reports omar close to 100 different nations represented at that piece for a more than 50 different national leaders no one from china though. no one from russia either, and no one expects to get a piece still hammered out there. what they do expect is to get broad agreement that any peace terms at the end of negotiations which they admit could take a very long time. would be on the basis of the un charter that would respect ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. president zelenskyy, saying that first sort of panels that they would break out into would be to work out issues on nuclear safety nucleate security, food security, and the release of detainees. and he encouraged everyone in the room. there to think and give their best ideas. >> it is 40 is inclusive and we are happy to hear and work on all proposals all, all ideas. what is really needed for peace, and what is important to you, dr. france, i urge all of you to be as active as possible, and i'm i'm proud that all parts of the world all continents are now represented at the peace summit. >> zelenskyy had a bilateral meeting with vice president kamala harris. she announced the 1.2 billion aid package for ukraine. much of that to improve the destroyed energy facilities, but also so a lot of it going towards displaced people refugees to make sure they've got food, water, and shelter. but she also addressed at the conference he issue of president putin and president putin's recent central threat to ukraine until zelenskyy that if he wants peace, then just give russia the territory that it's already illegally annexed he is not calling for negotiations. >> he is calling for surrender america stands with ukraine not out of charity, but because it is in our strategic pick interests. we stand with delegations from more than 90 nations who also have a strategic interest in a just peace in ukraine among us. no doubt exists a diverse range of views on many of the global challenges and opportunities we face we don't always agree however regarding putin's unprovoked, unjustified war against ukraine, there is unity and solidarity in support of international norms and rules. >> now the swiss president was there as well, and she talked about the difficult path on this row to pee. she said, of course russia has to be in the room, ultimately to get this fair and just peace. but she likened it to a walk in the mountains surrounding the resort. she said it is a long path, but one step at a time. >> omar and nic robertson forrest. thank you. i joined me now to discuss more of this is ranking member of the house select committee on china and member of the house oversight and intelligence committees, democratic congressman raja krishnamoorthi. thank you. for being with us. now. look, i mean, this strong statement of solidarity, essentially from the g7, it is really coming on the heels of what we've seen to be new us, us sanctions announced in part on china. and so i guess i want to start there do you feel that that message is actually being heard or felt in beijing i hope so i think that at the end of the de, it's very hard to kind ascertain kind of how xi jinping views these different situations, except that i think he has, he's in an inflection point namely, he's got to decide does he spend time kind of reducing tensions, reducing aggression, or does he do the opposite which then triggers countermeasures and sanctions? >> and further makes it difficult for him to repair his own internal economic problems and so i'm hoping that he does the right thing, but we have to prepare for the worst. obviously, and look, i know, you know, this that we've seen sort of the adversarial relationship play out on a number of fronts at this point, whether it's pressure on the taiwanese front, ukraine, theft of intellectual property, even with the most recent sanctions, trying to still has found a way to sort of circumvent them a little bit and still provide resources to russia. >> and so i guess the question is, what more realistically can be done at this point we'll look, i think that with regard to chinese assistance in russia, they as you know, provide most of the semiconductors necessary for fueling the russian war machine. >> for instance, they by russian oil i think that we have imposed limited sanctions at this point in time, but they could become more expansive and congress could act as well. and so i would just urge the ccp, the chinese communist party is leaders to think very carefully about how much more they're going to double and triple down on the russian war effort in ukraine i think that the other thing that's kind of putting pressure on the chinese strategy with regard to ukraine is that as you know, in the past, they've tried to divide the us and its european allies on a number of fronts, including security matters. however, the more that it assists russia would regard to this criminal invasion of ukraine, it brings the european allies and the united states closer together and more resolved against aggression everywhere. whether it's in europe or in the indo-pacific region and you mentioned that obviously the congress could also act as well. what is your sense from members of congress, your colleagues on either the democratic side or republican side, that there is potentially an appetite for more sanctions. have. >> and i think that there is an appetite for more sanctions depending on how the ccp and she's you're paying conducts itself. i think that the more evidence there is of increasing assistance with regard to the russian war effort in ukraine, the more pressure will build for congress to take action so far. i think that there hasn't been concrete evidence of lethal assistance being provided to russia, but dual use technology is very concerning to say the least yeah, i want to shift topics here and just get you get your reaction to the breaking news we've been following during this hour eight idf soldiers dead and rafah today, i know you've been clear in the past that there needs to be a ceasefire and you've said that you don't see israel being able to get all the hostages out as sort of a realistic near term goal here. does this incident reinforce that for you? >> i'm just curious, just what this breaking news does for you and your outlook on the situation well, first of all, i think everybody is thinking about the families of eight soldiers who died in gaza, just as we are always mourning the loss of innocent lives among gazans. >> that being said, as you could tell from the protests that are happening in israel right now there's an increasing pressure. >> four elections to occur in israel because there's a concern that this current government is not reflecting the priorities of the israeli people. >> and so i think that what this is going to do is put further emphasis on a call for elections at the same time it's going to also accelerate greater pressure on all the parties to come to this cease fire for deal hamas appears to be the sticking point, right now. and so i think the american side is going to continue to put pressure on the iran the qatari's, as well as the egyptians to put pressure on hamas. i also would bring come back to china because china exerts a lot of leverage with regard to iran. any iran has great leverage over hamas as well. so i think this is going to accelerate those efforts to yeah. >> again, we've been fallen that breaking news and it will be as of course, the immediate effect you think of the families, but the wider effects of it it will be interesting to see if it has an effect on sort of the general direction of things. congressman raja krishnamoorthi really appreciate the time thank you, sir. alright. coming up, we're gonna

brain health challenge. i'm eva mackenzie in washington and this is cnn all right. this was a scary plunge. the faa is investigating after a southwest plane dropped dramatically pulling up just 400 feet before hitting the before it would have hit the pacific ocean. now, bloomberg news first reported what happened onboard southwest airlines flight 27, 86 april near hawaii, citing an airline memo sent two pilots about the incident cnn's david susie joins us now now, david, look as a former pilot. >> what do you make of this? what do you make of what we know so far about what happened? >> well, in this case, it looks like there were some weather in the area of louis, which is where they were trying to land and they aborted their take-off, went back around. and when they did that, there was they would southwest reported as a newer first officer inadvertently pushed down on the control yoke. maybe he was trying to get out. maybe he had moved or fell forward, whatever it was, but he had inadvertently just literally push that control yoke forward and it went it creates an incredibly rapid rate of descent. now this happened when he was only a few hundred feet above the ground because they had a boarded their takeoff. so it dropped very quickly, like 4,000 feet per minute. so it was recovered quickly as well, but it must have then just terrifying for the passengers on board to have that happen that dramatically in that quickly and i think that one part is what i want to hone in on for a second mean, you've been in cockpits like they evening cockpits in general i mean, i guess the sense that i'm trying to get is how quickly does a nudge turn into a drop of this magnitude, i think in my head, i would like to think it takes a little bit more than a quick touch, an adjustment for the pitch that rapidly, but that doesn't seem to be the case. yeah, it i don't know how to put it into like a driver's terms, but as you're driving down the highway and you have control of your car. and if you start moving that car to the left and the faster you're going, the more dramatic that is when you do it. so you can just do it for a few seconds. if you do that for too long, it will actually roll the car on the highway. and that's very similar. what happens here? you can push a control yoke down. you'll feel a bump. you'll feel it do that. but in this case, it had to have been pushed forward, was quite some force for a little bit for maybe a second or two for awhile. and to make that happen, to make that knows drop that dramatically and continue down. now in this particular model aircraft, the good news is that the pilot on the other side also is connected physically to that control yoke. so as, as that's pushed forward by one pilot, the other pilot can pull back and counteract that, which is what happened in this case, the airbus is a little bit different. the airbus has unique controls. so the one pilot doesn't know what the other pilots doing and we'
