11:00 pm
i don't want you to move. i'm gonna miss you so much. you realize we'll have internet waiting for us at the new place, right? oh, we know. we just like making a scene. transferring your services has never been easier. get connected on the day of your move with the xfinity app. can i sleep over at your new place? can katie sleep over tonight? sure, honey! this generation is so dramatic! move with xfinity. luxury mattresses, made affordable i'm natasha bertrand at the pentagon.
11:01 pm
>> and this is cnn glows captioning brought to you by, feel away, optimum enhanced calming for cats. >> if your cats springs outside the litter box, fights with other cats were scratches the furniture, they could be telling you they're stressed to help them feel more calm, try feel away. >> optimum hello, and welcome to have you as here in the the and around the world, i'm indicating kd in atlanta. >> welcome to this special edition of scene and user we begin this out with a powerful geomagnetic storm happening right now, the solar storm is classified fired as extreme level five out of five. it hasn't got to this level in more than 20 years. and it is causing the northern and southern leinz two dazzle many places that rarely, if ever see them, take a look at this scene here in atlanta, georgia, in the southern us. a short time ago. and most of the midwest and even northern california have high chances of seeing the abroad this guy's over the uk
11:02 pm
and ireland lit up with vivid colors earlier friday night. parts of europe and asia likely to have another chance to view the lights saturday in the southern hemisphere, the aurora australis was spotted over new zealand, as well as argentina and it all started when the sun erupted with a series of solar flares what's known as coronal mass ejections. launching particles directly at the earth we'll have more on that in a moment. while the lights are expected to peak in the coming hours romel likely continue throughout the weekend. the biden administration says it's closely tracking the possible impacts of the solo strong as it could disrupt communications, satellites, and power stations electrical utilities i'm making preparations just in case with cnn's chat, myers is more on the historic solar storm and where you might see the auroras
11:03 pm
right? >> so everybody wants to know whether it's going to be visible, where i am, right? it will be visible across most of north america, maybe not all the way down to the gulf coast, but it'll be close. >> and it's not a one-day event. >> so even if you have cloud cover, two night, you will still be able to see it tomorrow because there's more than one coronal mass ejection on the way. so what is it? well, it's just a ball of plasma that's being shot at the earth. these things happen all the time, but rarely do we have them that goes straight at the earth. think about how big three-dimensional could be go that way so, to the back could go depends on where the sunspot is. well, we know this is coming toward the earth because of what we call the halo effect. when you see the cloud mass kind of come out of this. this is the sun right here. this is the sun being blocked by a disk. but when you see the coronal mass ejection come this way it's like looking at somebody blowing smoke ring at you, you know, it's coming and you know, it's on its way. that's the same idea, same kind of smoke ring that we're seeing. so yes, we have more than one still coming. so
11:04 pm
overnight, a big ones still landing on the earth's atmosphere. and we are still seeing that really bright colorful cloud all the way around. on the globe. typically, the only place you're not seeing it is where it's sunny, where the sun is already come up and you can't see it, but it was very, very spectacular somewhere around i would say maybe one z, one zulu time greenwich mean time somewhere around 9:00 okay. not quite 9:00 on the east coast of the us, but it was still light. we couldn't see it in north america. but another one and then another one and another one. this is still going to be going for quite some time. this is what the solar wind looks like and i want you to think of it like a, like the seismograph in when you're looking in california and you see the earth shake. well, the sun wasn't shaking at all. the solar wind was doing just fine, being nice and flat but then all of a sudden around two, 30 or two 40 this afternoon, the earth began to shake, literally. and so did the solar wind. and it came in very, very quickly, get this number around your brain. 1.6 million miles
11:05 pm
per hour it's how fast this solar wind is coming. auroras seen farther south with a g5 big number. this is five out of five, this is as big as we get there are still levels of five but g5, we're already up their power outages are likely and also satellite disruptions are also likely. >> so yes, it's certainly possible. so where the red coronas and then the most common are the green. this is what we see all the time across parts of canada, but the less common are the purples and the reds. we are seeing a lot of them tonight thanks to ted maya's that will ryan french is a solar physicists with us national salah observatory. >> he joins us now from pointing national grasslands in northeastern colorado. good to have you with us. thanks to staying up about of course, i think i would have been at when anyway, considering the light share that's currently going on behind me. i mean, it's been spectacular this solar stone. i understand the peak time is
11:06 pm
about now now 2:00 a.m. at where's the best place to see it honestly, the best place to see it is wherever you are currently. >> i wouldn't waste time getting in the car and driving too fast right now, i'm in northern colorado somewhere we would never typically expect to see the northern lights and i've seen it out behind me in full fourth force. i even started to myself earlier today. so wherever you are, if it's dark just go outside and take a look and hope for the best your research primarily investigates solar flares. obviously, we can study this one's so much more than the last major one, two decades does it go? what are you hoping to learn yes, we have a whole suite of facilities around the world observing this flare on the effect from this flare, including the national science foundation's gone facility. >> and by pairing all of these different datasets from all of these different instruments, we can really start to piece together the story already, the narrative of from when that flare person leaves the sun or the triggers on the sun and
11:07 pm
that plasma moves through the solar system to it arriving on up. and we've all these different pieces of data. we can begin to piece together that story in a way that we haven't been able to before of course, the sun has these solar flares. there's powerful eruptions forming on the sun's surface and i understand you started a project called sun science daily, which got a big following on social media. explain why it got that following. and at what's speed of these flares heading towards earth right now yes, i think for a lot of people, they don't realize that the sun would he does anything. >> they think of it as a static, unchanging ball in the sky. but really when you start to look at the data and the sun is doing interesting things all the time and sometimes those things manifest itself in a large wave like this. but even the small events are interesting to scientists as well. these things are hurtling away from the sun thousands of miles per second. so really, really quick stuff heading our way and this activity is all like to his very, very big
11:08 pm
sunspot ride on our sun on its, it's quite a strong magnetic field i've read it so big that if you have those eclipse glasses, you could see with a naked eyes that is, that right that is true if you have any eclipse glasses leftover from last month, eclipse, stick them on. it's a bit of a nice site test. but for most people you should be able to make out in sort of approaching the edge of the sun. now, you should be able to make out a big black dots with your eye. and that is the sunspot that produced the northern lights tonight. >> wow, this still solid stone holmes are cyclical rei, they typically happen every 11 years or so. this one was expected to hit mid next year. how long can it last yes so the sun itself follows and 11 year cycle where these solar storms are more probable so it isn't one that happens every cycle. >> so it's not one every 11 years, but towards this peak of this cycle, we expect to have more. so this year, next year we anticipate having more of these things than we did a few years ago and more than we will and a few years time is
11:09 pm
current. solar storm is set to end over the weekend, but we could be due for more coming soon in the coming weeks and months. >> that is exciting and these genetic geomagnetic storms can have the capacity to affect technology namespace, and earth, right what could be impacted? yes so it's important to note that flares and sottile russians can get much bigger than this so this did reach a g5 geomagnetic storm, but there have been flares in the past couple of centuries that i've gone way off that scale so the last time we had a g5 geomagnetic storm was back in 2003 and the recorded impacts from that were a few transformers being damaged down in south africa and some sort of power outages in sweden as well from this level of events, we could see some sort of localized small scale, temporary effects, but it's only for the money much bigger events that again, get a lot bigger than this, where you might see widespread outages as
11:10 pm
he outages in terms of gps tracking, in terms of the international space station astronauts it's up there right now. could they experience any impact so interesting you mentioned astronauts on the space station. >> there's a policy that if there is a large solar flare or solar storm, they don't do any spacewalks because if they were outside the space station, they would be exposed to more radiation. so during these times it will be confined to the living quarters, which are in the center of the space station. there wow, incredible. >> and i imagine i've got a pretty good view of it right now they will i actually saw the international space station passover not too long ago, and as always, seeing the northern lights from down here. >> no doubt, they would have been looking out the window. they're able to looking down at the northern lights from above there. >> and so for someone like you doing what you do, this must be an event of a lifetime i mean, to get to have solar flares. geomagnetic storm on this
11:11 pm
scale, something we haven't seen for two decades it's certainly really exciting. i mean, the sun and researching the sun has been my life since about 20:17. and with the solar eclipse last month and the current solar storm going on now, it's so great to the public interest in the sun, being interested in something that we do all the time or the national solar observatory so really exciting stuff and over the coming night is tonight meant to be the best night to see this what can we expect over the next couple of nights so we expect tonight to be the peak tomorrow night, i would probably come out again and see what happens. >> so do keep an eye out from tomorrow night. and if you're somewhere around the world, maybe sort of asia, australia that hasn't had nighttime yet, or you're just moving into my time in the next few hours? definitely worth worth a shot there but again, they know like we could still expect some ongoing solar storm, but probably not as high as, as
11:12 pm
what we have right now. >> ryan french exciting times. good to have you on the program tonight. thanks so canada is no stranger to the potential disruptions and dangerous from geomagnetic storms like this. cnn's paula newton is just out so the capital of ottawa and spoke with my colleague michael holmes, eleia some of the colors all over north america have been incredibly spectacular, not so much here in canada though this time about ten miles from us, they had some beautiful purples and pinks in the sky but unfortunately, we've got some cloud cover here is still, so we're going to be a little bit more patient and see if it comes out. >> the issue here, michael, is that in 1989, they had a blackout in quebec. that is a canadian province actually, just over the river behind me. and that was a lot of chaos that happened in 1989. but what's fascinating here is that they just didn't have the sensors, the monitors, the satellite certainly technology
11:13 pm
that they have now than they had in 1989. so they are better prepared, they're better prepared and all the hydro grids all across canada and the united states, they do not believe that that would occur this time around for various reasons in terms of the infrastructure i'm sure backups they have in place and the new technology, having said that, as chad clearly explained, this a very strong solar storm. so they're thinking a bit out of the box here. i'm wondering, okay, what could go wrong? and they were trying to foresee all the possibilities so far so good. midnight just after midnight where i am here, eastern time apparently there's supposed to be some really strong some solar storm activity coming in the next hour or two in this location in canada, will see if the clouds cleared up. but right now, it is just a lot to look at. in the sky on the ground, everything seems normal
11:14 pm
for now yeah, there's that last shot is quite incredible from nain. >> well as special coverage of this massive solo stone continues in just a moment after the break, i'll speak think with an astronomer about what people are seeing around the world they're piece of evidence tells a story how really happy jesse l. martin, sunday's it nine on cnn. >> let's try this again. what do you see? >> my first championship in houston, second championship charles not winning a championship. >> getty. let's try and stay positive or positive. he didn't win a ring oh, my god scout is protected by sympatric, a trio, and he's in it to win it sympatric. a trio is the first two would triple
11:15 pm
protection intestinal worms. well, heartworm disease, no problem with simferopol dreo, this drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures, use with caution and then dogs with a history of these disorders through winning protection, go with sympatric, a trio. >> it's hard to win the business make it easier on yourself with shopify, you can have your inventory payments and customers in sync across all the places start your journey with the fleet trout today at grainger, we know the ones who get it done where a lot of hats, a hard hat as one problem-solver is another whatever the job calls for, we're here for you. we are america's trusted source for industrial grade product with the scale and resources to deliver and the knowledge to help answer tough product question. because we know that has changed. but having access to real people oh, ready to help bind with fast delivery never goes out of style call,
11:16 pm
click granger.com or just that by granger for the ones who get it done trees don't have hearts. >> but they do have something like a heartbeat every night, a tree gets a little bit and every day, good actually shrinks just a teeny bit. and that motion which has less than a human hair, is what we measure with the tree tag all right, so i'm gonna go ahead and these two tree tags so this is row 21, tree nine trees are the lungs of the planet with the plan, our mission is to help keep the world's trees healthy. think of us as a connector for the tree unit first to the cloud and to ai from being people on a planet to being actually we have a caretakers of the planet is something that i feel really passionately about when i first
11:17 pm
learned about my do patreons contracture, my physician referred me to a hand specialist and i'm glad he did because when i took the tabletop test, i couldn't lay my hands flight anymore. >> the first-hand specialist i saw only offered surgery so i went to a secondhand specialists to also offered nonsurgical option which felt more right for me. so what i'd say to other people with do patreons contractures, this don't wait. find a hand specialist trained enough? on
11:18 pm
and they're all coming? those who are still with us, yes. grandpa! what's this? your wings. light 'em up! gentlemen, it's a beautiful... ...day to fly. one most loved thanking app. i'm rafael roma, the georgia state capitol in atlanta. this is cnn we are getting some stunning pitches in the overall is created by that ongoing geomagnetic storm coming in from around the globe. >> there's bayes, weather prediction center says it's been upgraded to a g5 or an extreme storm. something. we haven't seen in more than 20
11:19 pm
years. shades of pink lit up the sky of a west virginia and take a look at this, the view from the northern lights from a neighborhood in ohio. and it was even seen as far south as georgia and florida well, the white house says it's keeping an eye on any possible impacts from this rare solar storm, including disruptions to communications and gps systems. cnn's brian fung explains what could happen the good news is if you're an average cell phone user, this solar activity may not affect your devices very much the exact reasons for that are really interesting. >> and it gives you a fascinating glimpse into how our everyday technology really works. not to mention the science behind this storm as you've been hearing all de, the sun has been sending radiation toward earth. that interacts with our magnetic sphere. that's what's causing these auroras everywhere byproduct of all that can be fluctuations in the upper atmosphere. that scatter or even block radio transmissions in certain specific frequencies
11:20 pm
now, this shouldn't interfere with cellular signals because those run on different frequencies than the ones we're talking about here. >> you're halls and mobile data should still go through. but what can these storms effect while the list includes satellites in orbit, as well as any signal trying to reach them through the ionosphere. that's the upper layer of the atmosphere. we were just talking about so that could mean glitchy or less accurate gps readings on ships or airplanes. but again cell phone gps might be less affected because phones usually rely on self towers in addition to satellites to get a location fix. now, shortwave radios will likely have issues that's because in order to increase their range, people typically try to bounce them off the underside of the ionosphere with these storms that obviously gets a lot harder. lots of commercial businesses and government agencies use this type of communication. and so do amateur ham radio operators. all of these users could be affected now there is one way in which the storm could indirectly affect your electronic devices, and that's if the disruptions caused
11:21 pm
widespread power grid issues, utility companies say they're monitoring the situation and are prepared, but storm watchers have upgraded this to the most intense level that exists in the government minns classification system and that could mean overloaded transformers and grid disruption. >> if that happens, it could cut power to cell towers, datacenters, and other critical infrastructure. >> but then it just becomes more of a garden variety power outage problem. not really a direct issues stemming from the solar storm. and all of these providers have backup generators. so any interruptions and self-service should be limited if it happens at all. the bigger problem for most of us and that scenario, it'll probably be how to keep our devices this charged. brian fung, cnn, washington we're joining us now. >> is this drama you, yvette send us a radio astronomers center for astrophysics, physics at egn, smithsonian i, yvette. you then having an issue trying to connect with her, right now, seen as bill,
11:22 pm
we're spoke with my colleague michael holmes earlier about what we could learn from this historic event in space. >> let's take a listen knowledge is power in these things, and there's so much we don't know. >> and again, it's 93 million miles away so a lot of margin for error when it comes to predicting when that pulse will arrive but scientistic few years ago looked at the big events you mentioned the carrington event. there was another one in 1921 that the electricity actually started fires. a train stations in new york and radio telegraph operators were unable, able to unplug the batteries and just send messages through the electrified air. that's how intense that storm was. they ran models just to predict what would happen if a storm of that size hit the north america with a direct hit? >> it could affect 130 million people. >> they predicted could cost between 12 trillion to repair that can take from four to ten
11:23 pm
years to pick up the pieces if something that devastating what has happened, that's absolute worst-case scenario and odds against it are infantile symbol. but you never know, right? and so the way we can depend on these devices in our lives, more and more, the more we know about what could threaten them, the better let's be aware, we're talking to michael holmes, the white house has released its report on israel using american weapons next, what it's about plane? the israeli use those weapons to violate international humanitarian volts welcome to the world of spy craft garage glued to the action. >> let's get down, let's get funky what are you concealing your communist sympathizer yes
11:24 pm
supervisor streaming exclusively on macs they slept on me for 15 years, things like collected pollen, dust, dander, all that time. >> they could have protected me. >> mallory's mattress protectors walk 99.9% of dirt dust, and allergens for cleaners ease had allergies find it where you buy bedding. >> this is the one she fixes. >> she manages. she perfects because maintaining mean this space transports her to this face. the industrial grade product you need call click are stopped by granger for the ones who get it done says, is this dog food in your fridge? >> it's not dog food. it's fresh pet, real meat, real it seems like a lot of space to waste on a dog you're all a family. >> i need mom jeans she passed them down to you but who passed

them to her ancestry dna can show her who and where her deans came from best of all, it's on sale for mother's day. get it now, before she has to remind you. before abigail chewable for allergic edge giving dogs pills was a battle of wits. >> oh, maria, i'm wiser year foolish again he's gone totally gone it's relief just got easier applic the trusted number one treatment for allergic inch is now available in a tasty chewable that works in a day, do not he was in dogs with serious infections may cause worsening of existing parasitic skin infestations are pre-existing cancers and serious infections. >> new neoplasia as have been observed, do not use in dogs less than 12 months old ask your vet for epa called chewable to millions of people have lost weight with personalized plans from new like evan, who lost 50 pounds, i'd never really was a salad guy. that's just not who i am. even through the pickiness, num taught me that building better habits to build to healthier lifestyle, get started today and moose 15 pounds and 15 weeks for gentle, dependable, constipation really tries than a cat. it works differently

11:27 pm
doctors preferred better science, better results i'm tom foreman and washington. >> and this is cnn it's very
11:28 pm
difficult to forecast space weather storms. i mean, we're dealing with something 93 million miles away, an an extraordinarily difficult to time these, we did a great job knowing that these we're going to hit earth. but our timing was off a bit and that's no surprise for that vast amount of distance. >> well, a powerful geomagnetic storm happening right now around the world. one this strong hasn't happened in mlb and 20 years, and it's causing beautiful light shows in the sky well, it all started when the sun erupted with a series of solar flares in what's known as coronal mass ejections. and when those particles reach the earth's magnetic field and avus hey, it creates the spectacular, spectacular lectures that we're witnessing. and it's giving many places a chance to see a roar. is that rarely, if ever, get to see them geomagnetic storm activity on earth is expected to peak over the next few hours but the storm will likely continue through the weekend and could cause some
11:29 pm
communication and power russians were joining us now is yvette sunday's a radio astronomer at the center for astrophysics at harvard. and the smithsonian. good to have you with us thank you for having me. so pretty exciting night what have you witnessed so far well, so i just happened to be flying from denver to boston tonight. >> and as we were getting on the plane, the pilot did tell us there was it's a good chance of northern lights on the way. and roughly around when we hit detroit, yes. within seconds a huge cloud of green showed up in the sky and then we just had a curtain of color the entire way back to boston, which is about two hours of flying time. it was amazing. >> wow, and we are looking at some of those the images that you took. absolutely spectacular. i was wondering if flights would have been impacted by this at all no, i think flights or you know, this is event that they're rare, but we know that they happen.
11:30 pm
>> you might use a slightly different frequency or something like that, but a plain overall is very well protected from this sort of thing. we just get a really great lecture on the flight yeah, just incredible what a great experience. >> of course you use radio signals to study the biggest explosions in the universe. and right now saying these are the result of these eruptions on the sun have you had a chance to use radio signals to see if you can hear anything that's happening in the universe right now so i don't have any program's going tonight and i'm actually very happy because the disturbance from something like this, if you're looking for very faint signals from deep space, this is really not the best time to be looking. >> this is really the time to be studying the sun and not looking for fainter things, frankly and of course, the last time there was a geomagnetic storm of this magnitude. it was 2003. i technology has come a long way since then. >> what do you expect will learn from this event? i think the very exciting thing about this event is the sunspot that
11:31 pm
caused it is so huge and we have so many satellites now that can study things like sunspots. so hopefully we'll be able to predict these events a little bit better going forward into the future, things like that, i think is going to be very exciting going forward interestingly, i heard la, that if you have those eclipse sunglasses from a. >> month ago. so you can actually see that sunspot you can actually go out with your eclipse glasses and look up in the sun. >> so i'd is so huge. it's hundreds of times larger than the earth right now. and you can look and see it with your own eyes it's incredible at the last major geomagnetic storm was 2003. >> it was an event that briefly you knocked out power and sweden and south africa. what impact do you see happening this time? what do you think could happen? >> i mean, for the majority of people, we just get a very nice light show, something like a power disruption can happen. there's a lot of radio frequencies right now. you could not communicate on even
11:32 pm
if you try your very best. but i mean, most things, i mean, as i said, these are unusual events but, you know, preventable events or we can predict that they're going to happen something that happens every 20 years you're still going to prepare for a little bit of disturbance, but most people's daily lives don't get affected that much, frankly i can take teach us more about these coronal mass ejections because i was reading it like these, description about how this magnetic field, almost like slingshots out these charged particles how would you describe what's happening when a coronal mass ejection happens. it's a bunch of material heading toward earth. and when it's in countering our magneto sphere. so we have a very strong magnetic field around the earth it basically those particles will fall into that magnetic field and interact with it and that's actually what protects us from these charged particles on earth. and most of them never actually affect us on earth. so that's what's happening right now, just in very, very huge numbers. and that's why you can
11:33 pm
see all these northern lights have all these effects. >> so talk to us about the impact in space of days, especially obviously the international space station, there's a crew ashton astronauts on board. >> what's the impact? could they experience some satellites can be a little disturbed astronauts on the space station. >> this is the amount of level there it's a more shielded area of the space station if there was a really, really big coronal mass ejection, i don't think this one, i haven't heard is strong enough that they told the astronauts to go to that part of the space station. but that is a possibility if that came up otherwise, your gps satellites can be a little bit affected. so the signals coming to tell you exactly where you want our might have a larger error than they normally do, is a one common example that might expect a safe space satellite, in this case, it's certainly as a spectacular light show and it was great. you are able to share your images from for that aircraft tonight. thanks so much for joining us. that sunday's thank you well,
11:34 pm
cnn's kristin fisher explains how this historic phenomen can bring about possible disruptions, as well as its breath views throughout the weekend it's called a coronal mass ejection. and those highly charged particles have been barreling towards earth at 500 miles per second ever since the first particles began striking earth's magnetic field, friday afternoon. and forecasters expect it to intensify into the night and perhaps through the weekend. >> just think of gazillions of protons coming toward earth at the same time, there's also electrons in there. there's also magnetic fields and with nature i hit the earth's magnetic field or any other planet's magnetic field, they interact with that field and knows changes, generate currents which can damage power grids satellites, anything that has an electrical conductor involved, the national oceanic and atmospheric administration
11:35 pm
is describing this storm as an extraordinary marion, very rare event. one that also has them a little concerned. the biggest threats are to satellites and a global power grids. know it says it notified critical infrastructure operators and that mitigation efforts have been taken. but it's still warning of possible widespread voltage control problems. >> the last time we had a big power outage due to a geomagnetic storm was in the 80s. have we fix things since then? we're going to find out satellites will also be tested most can go into a safe mode during a solar storm, but just two years ago spacex lost 40 of its starlink internet satellites during a geomagnetic next storm that wasn't as strong as this one. and then there's the threat to people in space. >> this is jamestown actual toil astronauts. we've got a solar storm coming in and it's a hot one. >> apple tvs for all mankind, envisioned astronauts on the moon running for cover to dodge the incoming radiation during a
11:36 pm
strong solar storm. in reality, it's the astronauts currently onboard the international space station that may need to shelter in more protected portions. of the orbiting outpost space radiation is a known phenomenon that is dangerous to biology, whether it's during a geomagnetic storm, but just the general tryst into outer space. but despite the potential danger, a solar storm also rewards us with some of the most spectacular auroras and this time, over a wider area, extending as far south as alabama the beauty of dice coronal mass ejection is that we get to have an astronomical event basically come to us from space. >> that's visible to the naked eye. we all just recently experienced this with total solar eclipse that happen but in an april. so now see the northern lights. that is another extraordinary astronomical event. >> kristin fisher, cnn, washington well after the

nothing should have never happened aside from cohen prosecutors say they have one more witness to call before they rest their case, possibly by the end of next week. >> then of course, its independence is heard in the big question, remains will donald trump take the stand? >> well, the biden administration has released a long-awaited report. it finds it reasonable to assess that israel used american weapons in gaza in ways inconsistent with international law. but the reports stopped short of concluding that israel committed violations cnn's kylie outward has more from the state department the biden administration found that it is reasonable to assess that israel has used us weapons in gaza since october 7, in a way that is inconsistent with international humanitarian law. >> but the department of state's report does not make a definitive conclusion on whether international humanitarian law was violated or not saying that there are specific incidents that remain
11:45 pm
under review. there still looking into. now, we should know that the report does say that it is challenging to make these determinations, particularly because of how this war has had to been waged the fact that hamas hides in population centers in civilian infrastructure. now, we should also know that the report makes it very clear that there are concerns turns about israel using its capabilities, that it has to drive down civilian deaths. i want to read to a part of the report saying, quote, while israel has the null allege experience and tools to implement best practices for mitigating civilian harm in its military operations. the result on the ground including high levels of civilian casualties, raise substantial questions as to whether the idf is using them effectively in all cases, we should know that the biden administration is in touch with the israeli government on this front. they've provided this report to the israeli
11:46 pm
government and they will continue asking the israelis for information on these specific thick strikes that they are looking into, that they have in some cases received that information in other cases, they haven't been receiving that information. so we'll watch to see as these ongoing assessments develop. kylie atwood, cnn, the state department israel's security cabinet, has approved an expansion of the area of the operation in rafah, more than 1 million displaced palestinian civilians have taken refuge many have already fled other parts of gaza. and israeli official tells scene and the security cabinets decision has been quote green light, been given the green light for the war cabinet to expand the operation in rafah, but were told this does not mean an imminent expansion. the un says, what's already happening. rafah has displaced more than 100,000 hello, justinian's. and they say conditions at what the idf cause the humanitarian zone are not adequate some

those who believe in freedom and is just through by all those who can no longer stand idly by in the face of such utter injustice well before the voigt, the us vowed to again, veto any bid for palestinian statehood that is brought to the security council ukraine says it's second-largest city is not in danger of falling after russia launched a new ground offensive in the kharkiv region ukrainian sources say russian troops swept across the border in the northeast on friday advancing up to five kilometers in one area residents of some border villages were later evacuated and at least two billions were reported kill president zelenskyy says ukraine's artillery stops the russian
11:50 pm
advance. >> but fierce battles are underway menasha we are adding our strings to the kharkiv directions along our state border and along the entire front line, we will consistently destroy the occupier in such a way as to thwart any russian offensive intentions washington has approved $400 million and you military aid for ukraine on friday on top of the more than $60 announced last month. >> the us defense secretary says most of the new aid is headed to harkey jill dougherty is a former seen in moscow bureau chief and an adjunct professor at georgetown university. she joins us from washington pc, good to have you with us, jim thank you so this war has long been waged in the eastern south. now russia has opened a new front in the northeast ukraine's president calls it a new wave of counter offensive how would you describe this development well, it's significant if it appears
11:51 pm
that it's not really that clear exactly what the final objective here is but it is significant because it does pull as you were pointing out, we could pull ukrainian troops from the east where they'd been fighting and turn to hold on as the russians move in and then pull them up to the north northeast were hard to get his and so it does it's a shift and it comes as i'm sure, we will discuss in the midst of this delay in getting aid from the united states? yeah, exactly. i want to get to it in just a moment, but i just want to ask you what this could mean for their city of kharkiv, which is i'm to about 1.3 million people ukraine second largest city. because ukrainian forces or officials rather have repeatedly said that they don't believe russia has that to take that entire city. do you agree? and if not, what is russia's strategy here? well, it appears that with the number
11:52 pm
of troops that they have, the russians, it would be difficult if not impossible to take the city that doesn't mean that they couldn't begin to eat away at the process and then bring in more troops if they were successful. >> but you know, there's another side to this, which is really the psychological side of it. if you have done boss and then you have an other part of ukraine, this aerial bombing of energy sources for the ukrainians is very, very disturbing. >> and if you begin to bomb or attack a city like had gave, it's psychologically very, very difficult for people to put up with this. >> i think that might be part of it, part of their rationale. >> yeah, that makes sense. of course. you mentioned the a the us today is announced this new $400 million military aid package to ukraine we know that ukraine says it will deploy it to kharkiv as it sees fit. this
11:53 pm
is the third aid package in as many weeks, but this comes after months and months of delays. how has those delays impacted ukraine's ability to defend itself? and what will this latest aid package mean it's been really significant problem. >> i mean, essentially the us congress was waiting around and non-passing this for half a year, six months and so what's happened is let's talk about like the donbass area in the east. it's been very difficult for the ukrainians to hold on. they simply don't have the equipment and certainly ammunition is a huge problem. the russians, as we know, we're getting ammunition from the north koreans. they're getting drones from iran. and so without that, the ukrainians have really suffered now that they're getting what they need it as quickly as possible. yeah. but i think that is really set them back. >> and we know ukrainian commanders have said that they have been expecting a soma
11:54 pm
offensive, but according to ukrainian military source, who spoke to cnn they said this particular assault was unexpected. what does that mean that ukraine's preparedness well you're right. >> they did think something was going to happen and ukrainian intelligence, new are predicted that something like this would happen exactly where i'm not quite sure what they thought or where it would come. and that's why it's a little unclear about the the entire let's say ultimate aim of this. i think you could define two. one would be exploiting this window of opportunity before the weapons from the united states get into the field, the russians push as far as they can and do as much damage. but it's also as i mentioned, is to pull hello way ukrainian forces from donbass and bring them up to how to give and that weakens, of course, to protection on the east.
