top of the hour now in the cnn newsroom, i'm erica hill. >> i'm jim sciutto. in the next half hour, president joe biden is going to lay out his plan and proposals to the budget. and we will also talk to alan shaw about the toxic spill and the pressing questions that the residents there in east palestine want answers to. and then a dozen of deadly missile barrages across ukraine.

we want the begin there. russia reportedly launched a barrage of missiles by land and sea and air and multiple of them across the country and most of them hit lviv. they came down and set homes on fire. >> they terrified the people in kyiv, and most of them happened overnight. ivan watson is on the ground there this morning, and what do we know? >> well, erica and jim, this is not the first time that russia has aimed dozens of missiles aimed at the power grid, but the commander of the armed forces has described this attack as massive and it is targeting critical infrastructure and as you pointed out 81 missiles that the ukrainian say fired as well as those iranian-made sha heed dr

drones and they were spread out across the country are the land, sea and air. from the russian ships at sea, and from the planes in the air, and across the country. the anti-aircraft did succeed in shooting down at least 34 of the missiles and four of the iranian suicide drones, but other deadly projectiles did in fact get through to hit kharkiv and the port of odessa in the south, and from here, kharkiv to the capital, and to the western city of lviv, where at least two men and three women were killed in the strikes there. the russian ministry of defense has claimed responsibility here for this saying it is a retaliation for this shadowy incident that took place on march 2nd which the kremlin is

calling the area where russia is calling a cross border attack, and the ukrainians do not claim responsibility for it, and we never saw what happened, but the end result is a massive attack which succeeded in knocking out power to the russian zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, and knocking out power to 150,000 people near the city there and knocking out power here in kyiv. that said, life goes on here. vi spoken to civilians living next to one garage, car park that got hit by parts of the missile destroying several cars there, and breaking the windows in a neighboring apartment block, and people said after this explosion at 7:00 a.m. went to work, and the pizza hut,

sorry, the domino's pizza was working and the restaurants and bars still working, and so whatever russia is trying to do has not succeeded in bringing the economy to a halt, but it has succeeded in frightening some ukrainian civilians and back to you. >> that is appearing to be the aim, and remarkably ukraine continues to live through it and keep life going. thank you, ivan watson. back home, mitch mcconnell is being treated in the hospital after he tripped and fell at an event last night. >> and we have lauren joining us from capitol hill about the incident. >> we are still not sure what condition the minority leader is in, but we know that mcconnell

tripped at a private dinner and he is admitted for treatment. we know it occurred at the waldorf astoria, and i have been talking to his close allies like roger wicker who says that he does not have any condition on his condition. mcconnell is 81 years old and the longest serving republican leader in the senate, and he is a close adviser to lawmakers and someone who leads the conference through partisan and bi-partisan battles up here on capitol hill, and his colleagues are wishing him a speedy recovery, and we will keep you up to date on whatever information we get. >> thank you, lauren fox. we wish him a speedy recovery. nikki haley, republican presidential candidate, made some waves with her words of social security. >> in her words, she said it is

going bankrupt, and this what she is floating to a group of supporters in iowa. >> joe biden is saying that the only way to deal with entitlements is to raise taxes. he does not care if it runs out in 5 or 10 years is to have it bankrupt, because he won't be there. so you change the age of retirement so we have some retirement for them, and you change the benefits for wealthy people. >> and so we know that this is going to be a major part of what we will hear in 2024 and a big part of the president biden's budget to be released. he wants to hit the republicans here, and haley offering some thoughts, and what more do we know about the plan she is putting out? >> jim and erica, she is staking out a claim here on this politically explosive issue, but the details are still unclear beyond what you heard there.

her campaign did not respond to a request for comment on what age she is honing in on here. she also called for expanding packages from medicare advantage plans which are run by private health care insurers in order to increase the competition, and additionally she criticized a proposal of president biden's proposal of suring up a trust fund for raising taxes of those making under $400,000, and increasing prices for even more drugs. >> this is what the president said at the state of the union address that republicans are wanting to raise taxes for entitlements. and so now, we will hear what the president has to release in his budget proposal, and it is a look of the

priorities ahead of a re-election campaign and the budget is to include a $3.5 billion tax cut and some of the shoring up of these entitlement programs. i don't think that we can ignore the optics here that president biden is headed back to philadelphia once again and returning to pennsylvania. i am curious, how is this sitting with the voters? do they feel like a political prop? >> well, the pennsylvanians are welcoming the attention that they get from presidential candidates from across the spectrum, because it is a unique position. there are few states that get as much attention, and the president has been to philadelphia frequently and today coming to northeast philadelphia which is a particular place. and it is a place of a lot of white working class voters and a place that even within a deep

blue city trended well for donald trump, and it is the place that the democrats want to win back, and know they will have to perform well in, including presidential election next year. >> and we know that democrats really feel they need to win back that voting bloc that president biden in particular wants to reach out to, connect to and in some cases reconnect with a number of working class voters. looking at this in context of the budget in terms of what we will see today, this is in many ways, a blueprint for tre he re-election campaign, and his vision for america, it is also in some extent putting on the defense the republicans, and how are those actions is being received in pennsylvania this morning? >> well, i think that we will see this play out with more of

the reaction to take some time. we are still in the roll out phase of the budget. so i don't know how many regular people are paying attention to this stage of the game when it is started, but he is laying down a marker, because we know that there is going to be a major debate over the country's debt ceiling, so he is laying down a marker, and what he said in the state of the union speech to say s listen, in his mind, the one that i am protecting the social security, and the middle-class, and that is his pitch that he is talking about. >> you are going to be busy, and pennsylvania, and to your point, so much in pennsylvania and so much it says about this country itself in termsf how diverse the voters can be in a city like philadelphia, and let alone the whole state. there is also, a renewed focus of pennsylvania for one of your senators john fetterman, and

being treated for depression, and including his job as a u.s. senator while he is in treatment there, and what are you hearing from the constituents, and what are you hearing about how public he has been with this battle and a lot of folks are praising him to be so public and weighing and balancing that from what his office is getting done and what the senator is working on? >> yeah, i think that a lot of it is broken down along the political lines, and there are people who are sympathetic, and know people who have had their own health issues to work through and return to work and get back to work to manage those issues there. are conservatives who voted against him who believe he disguised the depth of his health problems in the depth of his campaign, and he did not talk about the depth of the depression that aides say he has dealt with for a long time.

they are trying to put forth the depth of the work he is doing, and the bill that his chief of staff have spoken to him for most mornings, and otherwise, the senator is not in touch with his staff, although much of the work in the senate is done by the aides, and in fact, there is a hearing on the derailment in east palestine, and the senator has submitted a statement for the record, and it will be submitted to the the chairman as part of the record. >> and as you know, it is falling along party lines, but do you get a sense that the nationwide conversation about mental health and mental depression, and that could break through and that could perhaps be more important in 2024? >> i think that it is something that having such a high profile person kind of talk about it and be sidelined for a time by it, i

think that it will certainly raise the profile of that discussion, and particularly when the senator does return to work and his staff is saying that should be in a matter of weeks, and they do expect him to continue with the term in the near future here. so i think that it is going to be big piece of the discussion. he is not up for election for a bit here, so politically, i don't know how much it is going to be in the talk. but more widely having a senator to talk about this, and someone as high profile as him, i think it will ripple into other areas of discussion. >> thank you, jonathan, for your insight today. >> thank you for having me. still to come here, a scathing report on the louisville police department revealing regular discrimination, use of excessive force and unreasonable tactics especially against black people. we will dive into these alarming findings. plus, new potential legal

♪ experience the capability of the complete line of suvs at the invitation to lexus sales event. after nearly a two-year investigation, the justice department has released a damning assessment of the louisville police department. they found they routinely use excessive force and aggressive style of policing and different

tactics against black people. when these issues were brought to leadership, the same leadership buried them. this is how the attorney general described it. >> some officers have demonstrated disrespect for the people they are sworn to protect. some have videotaped themselves throwing drinks at pedestrians from their cars, insulted people with disabilities and called black people monkeys, animal and boy. this conduct is unacceptable. important to note that in addition to the report, they say in the present tense that this is happening and not in the past tense. the doj launched the investigation in a botched raid that killed breonna taylor and they made 36 recommendations to change. the interim d.a. and police chief are on board and already

implementing change. >> i think that we are moving aggressively ahead, and whether the doj is here or not, we should be a premier department, we should be a department that the citizens of louisville should be proud of, and for us to be internally proud of ourselves, and so, no, we are not waiting and we should move forward. >> and as the department of justice said that the vast majority of the officers have said that the good and honorable people in the public service roles have said, that they are working to keep everybody safesh and they are building on themselves for that team. >> and joining us now for that howard university law professor of the national association of black police, ronald hampton, thank you for joining us and they did say that the lpd are making changes and what stood out is that breonna taylor is a

simpton -- symptom of problems that we have had for years and it is not reactive, but it is proactive and are you seeing it that way? more proactive and not reactive? >> the former attorney general once said that we are talking about the bad apples, and when are we going to examine the tree? that is what this is. there is no way to have the history that a louisville police department had and then somehow never talk about that you have good officers. you can have good officers is working in the bad institutional agency, and that has been the issue. i was a police officer myself from 1970 to 1994 in washington, d.c. during that time, louisville had a black police association, and the members of the black police

association of louisville have had a variety of years the lawsuits for racism and discrimination in a variety of areas, and so i am not surprised that the department hasn't changed in all of these years. >> justin, in the wake of these things, we see folks calling for a better response from the courts, and prosecution where warranted, and we have seen some of that, and people talking about improved training, but it struck me that the police chief following tyre nichols' case called it a culture. and the d.a. calling it a culture issue, and is that a broader problem in the police departments across the country, and do you -- i see you nodding, ronald, and i want to get your thoughts, too, perhaps s. >> well, the theme that runs

throughout this and these reports are viper, scorpion, and they are dangerous and venomous, and they are pushing the police culture in such a way that you are rewarding most aggressive and oftentimes violent staffing tactics to put the people in a division that is seen as a badge of honor to be in the special units, and what we are doing at the thurgood marshall civil rights center is to show how dangerous these specialized groups are. when it is seen as a rise in crime in the city, the most recently in new york, even though they dismantled the specialized units in 2020, the mayor has talked about bringing back the specialized unit to address the crime wave, so it a major problem and pushing the police culture in the wrong direction. >> and yes, sir, it is a part of

the culture, the organization, and in atlanta, it was called red dog. in washington, d.c., it is called the jumpouts. if you are entrusted with the responsibility of public safety in the city and to create units that have the responsibility of engaging and working with the community, then you don't call those units by those kind of name, because they are not going to go over well with the public and their behavior is not going to go over well either. and this is what attorney general eric holder was talking about when he said that we must begin to examine the tree, and talk about the culture of the agencies as it relates to what is going on, because the changes have been superficial at best, superficial at best. sometimes, you have to throw the baby out with the bathwater. >> errol louis made an excellent point this morning talking about the 1994 crime bill, and he said

that there is a provision that there has to be an annual report of the justice department of the people killed by the police department, and that it has not been done by the departments, but it has been done by news reporters or local protesters, and so do you believe that would help to lead to change or at least acknowledgment. >> more than a sense. we know that it is a fact. we have call for this data, and the local police department have not provided it, and there is not any will to have any enforcement mechanism in terms of collecting this data. so this is that we have to talk about the finding other ways to approach public safety as opposed to depending upon violence and depending upon maddog or viper unit, and so if you were to actually keep those

pieces of data on not just killings but every single use of violence that happens in the police department, what would happen is that the nation would be shocked, and you would see a movement to abolish these groups and change the way we enforce public safety. so it is one of the situations that until we are willing to stand up for our belief in the human rights of our citizens, we will see the same things the happen over and over again. >> and the issue of trust. we don't have time to get to that today, but we will be, because building trust to the community is going to be key with any reform moving forward. and justin hansford and ronald, thank you. and now, you can see that there is a major blockade there in israel and our secretary of

for answers in the wake of that disaster. jason carroll is live in ohio this morn, and jason, you have been for some time, and speaking with the residents and the business owners about how they are coping. where does things stand for them this morning? >> well, as you know, you can imagine that there is a great deal of worry here on the ground and not just from the residents, but the business owners as well. erica, this is the reason why. you see the blue containers there? they are located on the property of thek fab t factory right nex to the derailment. the factory workers are too afraid to come to work, so it is a huge impact of the economy here. folks are going to be watching and asking what alan shaw intends to do about it. >> reporter: as the cleanup effort continues in east

palestine, ohio, mike says he has had enough. >> when the wind is blowing right way, it is unbearable to stay here. >> reporter: he is one of many residents to take norfolk southern up on the offer to pay people who live near the derailment site to relocate for the next few months. he says that norfolk southern has agreed to provide additional assistance which is temporary lodging, food, travel, clothing and other necessarity, but mckimm's worry is not just for the home, but the future of his business. he and his wife ashley own mckimm's winery located a block from the tracks. >> i want to continue to stay here and i want things to be good here and things to go back to where they are, but 1 million pounds of toxic waste were dumped 250 yards from where we are standing right now. what is your feelings on it, you know? probably not good, right.

>> reporter: what about the blue containers? >> i have no idea. >> reporter: edwin wayne has the same concerns, because he owns two manufacturing plants that make parts for steel mills. one of the back doors is feet away from the derailment and one away from where they did a slow burn for the toxic chemicals. so those tarps are there on your property? >> i don't know what is going to happen to us in the future. they tried to remove the hazardous chemicals from this land, and i'm not sure that the impact will last for how long. that's the uncertainty. >> reporter: wang says that no one from norfolk southern has come out to explain what is happening on his property despite his attempts to reach them, and in response, norfolk is telling cnn, that mr. wang hired an attorney, and then canceled last minute. so we have not been able to reach him since, and we must go

through his attorney, and regardless, we are committed to make it right in east palestine, and look forward to following through with mr. wang as well. the rail company and the epa say that the cleanup could take up to two months. mr. wang says that norfolk southern is temporarily compensating his employees in the time, but with no one the man the machines and fill back orders, he is not sure that there is a business for his workers to come back to. >> right now, we are losing business. we are also losing the skilled workers. people are scared. they are not willing to come back to work. this is the issue. >> reporter: so a lot of safety questions here as you can imagine, and the environmental questions and in terms of the economic questions on the ground, what people are looking for is some specifics like the factory owner here. will he be compensated in some other way, and will businesses be compensated here, and

homeowners to be next to the site of all of this happening, and will you be bought out? what they are looking for is the specifics, and we will see what happens when alan shaw test fis later today. >> and they want specifics after dealing with this for so long, and it is a great piece, jason, thank you. defense secretary lloyd austin is in israel wrap up the trip to the middle east, and he met with benjamin netanyahu as the tempers flared against the israeli leader. >> the demonstrators are rallying against netanyahu's plans to weak en their support while they are blocking the road to the airport. hadas is there with the latest.

>> yes, it is interesting to see how they have addressed these massive protests against these judicial reform that at the core would allow the israeli politicians and supreme court to overturn these reports. in fact, austin's trip was asked to rejigger the trip and he was met with conflicts at the airport, because the protesters were blocking the main roads leading up to the airport and trying as much as they could to disrupt the normal flow of operations. then later we went to the main highway in tel aviv where the protesters took to the massive highway that cuts through tel aviv and bringing the traffic to standstill for some time until the police forcibly removed them using dozens of officers and mounted police.

the protesters did not get as violent as they used water cannons, and we are still h hearing the people debate behind us, but it is interesting to hear the secretary of state quote president biden alongside the defense minister saying that the genius is a democracy and it is a rare foray into politics by an american official and saying they need to come to a consensus with these leaders of the opposition. two americans are sadly killed and the families are waiting for their bodies to be brought to american soil as their families are eagerly awaiting for their bodies.

this morning we are learning that tiger woods' girlfriend has filed two lawsuits. she wants a nondisclosure suit that she signed thrown out and she wants a trust that is potentially $30 million. >> jean casarez, do we know what his girlfriend is accusing him of? >> this is what we know and based on the legal documents. erica herman was in a relationship with tiger woods for six years. they broke up, and she filed suit at the end of last year saying that i had an oral t

tenancy agreement to live in the home in florida, and she says that i was kicked out, and because of that, i am asking for actual damages in excess of $30 million. she going into details of what happened. she alleged that the representatives of the trust and the suit is against the trust that owns the home and the land that representatives contacted her and said that you have to take a short trip and pack your bags and get to the airport and she did, and once there they told her that you are not invited to stay at that home anymore and you are locked out of that home. then they went on to say that maybe we can reconcile this and do something, so she is alleging that, and now she has a second lawsuit saying that it is not valid and in response, tiger woods filed a suit or the trust did for him saying that she was

inviteded in that home, and legal word invited meaning it can be revoked at any time. this is the home that he and his kids live in, and this needs to be designed in arbitration. we understand it has been in arbitration, and the next question is if that arbitration can be decided in arbitration. and now, amazon has not been able to escape the brick and mortar, and going to cashless stores. >> and so, now, we are guard to brick and mortar strategy, is this a big hit? >> well, erica, amazon cannot get this strategy right. it is closing ghost stores, and with these, you can walk out without the checkout process,

and the technology never caught on with shoppers and it is the latest example of it is not catch on. it has opened up book stores and pop-up stores and grocery stores and none of them have caught on. it bought whole foods, but those have stagnated. so amazon, the king of online shopping can't get people to shop in stores. >> stick to what you know, i guess. >> and so the one place where the people are shopping is dollar stores which happens in the downturns of the economy. what do we know? >> well, jim, there are 35,000 dollar stores which is more than the mcdonald's and starbucks and walmarts in the country, and 1 of 2 stores opening is a dollar store driven by income inequality and the shrinking middle-class, and rising inflation which is push more folks to shop in the dollar stores and many communities are pushing back, cleveland and

birmingham and new orleans have restricted the growth of dollar stores which has to do with the fact that dollar stores push out the small and local grocers and they don't sell fresh food, and they are paying some of the lowest wages in retail, and so there is a lot of protest against them. >> it is going to be interesting to see how that turns out. nathaniel, thank you. well, thank you to all of you for joining us today. i'm erica hill. >> i'm jim sciutto, and "at this hour with kate bolduan" starts after a week break. l in the chase mobile® app. use it to set and track your goals, big and small... and see how changes you make today... could help put them withinin reach. from your first big move to retiring poolside and the other goals along the way wealth plan can help get you there. j.p. morgan wealth management.
