welcome everyone. you're in the >> cnn newsroom. >> i'm >> omar jimenez >> playing >> following a deadly >> attack on a popular concert sure. venue in moscow. now president putin is trying to blame ukraine after russian investigators claimed four of the alleged suspects were taken into custody near the ukrainian russia border ukraine has denied any connection to the attack. and tonight ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy says, quote, miserable putin is trying to blame someone now for his own problems on friday night, armed gunmen stormed the moscow music hall shooting concert goers. here's some of the shots and the people running on your screen there and they used explosives to start a fire. officials say more than 130 people are dead dozens others injured. isis has claimed responsibility for the massacre cnn's matthew chance has the latest from russia well omar, i can tell you, i've come back to a country shocked by events of the past few days, the number of confirmed dead in
3:02 pm
>> the crocus city hall attack has now risen to more than 130 people according to official figures. >> all >> day mourners have been laying flowers outside the burned-out building, their moscow well, inside emergency teams. i think continuing to sift through the debris and say they expect to find more bodies and we've more than 140 people injured the death toll is unfortunately expected to rise in a nationwide security operation, investigators say is 11 we've, been detained for. government suspected to have carried out the mass shootings on friday nights, state media has been broadcasting grisly images of some of the best tied up and blooded being manhandled than interrogated once speaking broken russian, is shown allegedly confessing to carrying out the attacks in the crocus city hall for money?
3:03 pm
well, of course, isis has claimed responsibility for the assault, posting images of what they say. are the attackers with their faces covered, the terror group says the attack was a normal part of its war against countries fighting is that us officials say they also have no reason. the isis claim >> but the russian >> president vladimir putin vowing revenge for what he calls a barbaric act. as attempted to link the attack to ukraine saying preliminary data suggests the gunmen were attempting to escape leisure across what is an extremely heavily militarized border. that's something ukrainian officials have strongly denied once official. they're telling cnn the kremlin is trying to implicate ukraine to rally domestic support for its brutal war and provide an excuse for ramping up attacks on ukrainian towns and cities back to you,
3:04 pm
omar matthew chance in st. petersburg, russia. thank you so much for more analysis on this. i want to turn now to cnn senior national security analysts, juliette kayyem. she's also a former homeland security assistant secretary. >> juliette look, >> the us warned russia of a potential attack from an intelligence perspective. do you see this as a big field? while you're on, putins part and mass event, people totally vulnerable. you said, oh yeah >> yeah. oh yeah. in moscow also, right. so heavily fortified city. look, this is the third of three major intelligence failures by putin. the first is his belief that the ukrainians would fold than a day. the second is, of course, the wagner group and then trying to usurp his power. and the third is this a terrorist attack against russian civilians. presumably young people in moscow. so he has an incentive to create a different narrative and that
3:05 pm
narrative is, is that this is part of the war effort or the, or the war tax by ukraine. and i think that's why the united states came out so quickly last night, i had never seen anything like it where they said not only had we warn them about this in early march, warn the russians and warned american citizens in russia but also verifying think that they, that we believe that it was also isis. >> yeah. and look, >> i as i mentioned, the united states did warn russia an attack of this nature that there was intelligence of that. but i'm curious from your perspective, do you think russia ignored those warnings or at the very least, we're skeptical of us intelligence just because of the strain relationship so we've seen between the two countries that's exactly right. and also part of what putin has to do is to make it clear that he alone can save russia. and so he caught when, when america, when the united states did two things that first issued a warning to our to the united
3:06 pm
states citizens in russia there's quite specific that in the next couple of weeks there could be a terror attacks. so that means that our intelligence was pretty good. we separately notified russian officials under a protocol called the duty to warn. so despite the fact that we though the russian's and us are, are fighting over ukraine. there's still what a strong sentiment in the intelligence community that if you know of a terrorist attack, you have a duty to inform another intelligence agencies. we did that and we admitted we did that. russia came back and said that it's fake news essentially because one, he didn't want to hear it to. he doesn't want to look like he didn't know it, right. because then what does that mean? >> and three, honestly, >> i don't know if there was anything he could do about it. i mean, there's the public safety apparatus as we saw in these pictures is depleted in russia there there's, it's
3:07 pm
remarkable to me that you've had that they had a large concert like this. it wasn't four to five. there were barely the terrorist just walked in the response was very slow so whether he pays, weather plays a price for this is hard to hard to tell, but he has an incentive to lie about what this was >> yeah. >> now, look, isis is claiming responsibility for the attacks and at least from russian state media, they say that a previously they've, they've thwarted a number of potential attacks from this terrorist group, but is there a potential for more violence from isis inside of russia? i mean, what is the dynamic of isis inside a place like russia? >> right? so this, this, this sort of branch of isis is it strongly affiliated with pakistan, afghanistan, and iran. and so it is essentially, as they said, is targeting countries that they view or have viewed as, as anti muslim in the past or presently this,
3:08 pm
we tend to not talk about isis as much as we used to. it is still a active terrorist organization. russia has thwarted attacks western, in western europe, there have been thwarted attacks this was a huge success on their part. >> it >> seemed to me looking at the pictures relatively the easy they they walked in. these were not suicide missions, they were able to bring guns into russia. russia is not a heavily armed civilian society, so they got access to weapons and then they were able to do the second way, which was of course try to destroy the building and kill more people in the problem process. so it shows that they are isis is active in russia. it's able to plan things and that despite us, the united states having intelligence to warn russia that russia was unable or unwilling to respond in time in look as i've mentioned with others that have
3:09 pm
come on, there is what happened in the tragedy of what happened to you over 100 that were killed in a number continued to >> rise, but then also, of course, trying to follow the information stream that comes out from state media and others. juliette kayyem, i have to leave it there. but thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you >> all right. here in the united states, fulton county's district attorney, fani willis, defended herself and told cnn that georgia is criminal case against former president trump is going full steam ahead and her first public comments since the hearing concerning her relationship with another prosecutor on the team, willis said she does not believe georgia's case alleging election subversion has been slowed down and warned president trump, quote, the train is coming. cnn's rafael romo joins us now with the latest. so raphael, your teams spoke with the district attorney earlier. tell us more about about what happened that's right. >> omar fulton county district attorney fani willis spent her saturday at an easter egg hunt. the event was put together by
3:10 pm
wave. this is an organization of law enforcement officers dedicated to helping children and the homeless throughout the year, willis was a surprisingly candid, omar, regarding questions about the last few months of her life, including her for joe election interference case against donald trump in this candle brought about by her prior romantic relationship with special prosecutor. she appointed for the case after everything that's happened, we wanted to know if she feels she needs to reclaim her reputation. and this was her reply. >> i don't feel like my reputation needs to be reclaimed. let's say for the record, i'm not embarrassed. mighty thing. i've done i guess my greatest crime is i had a relationship with a man, but that's not something that i find embarrassing in any way. and i know that i have not done anything that's illegal as you may remember, the racketeering case was delayed by two months following the revelations about her personal life, her decision-making credibility was >> also damaged in the eyes of
3:11 pm
judge scott mcafee, but the embattled fulton county district attorney said the main case was not delayed because her team never stopped working picking on it. let's take a listen >> all why that was going on. we were right and responsive briefs. we were still doing the case in the way that it needed to be done. i don't feel like we've been slowed down at all. i do think that there are efforts to slow down and strain, but the train is coming and cnn reported exclusively on thursday will is plans to press ahead with her goal of putting donald trump on trial before the november election. and according to three people familiar with her plans, she also intends to ask the judge presiding over the georgia criminal case to schedule a trial date as soon as this summer, omar and finally, let's remember, and this is very important that will is seeking to get reelected in november. she has a lot to do. omar back to you a lot to >> do and we will see what timeline that workload actually ends up playing out with raw

3:17 pm
from the prince and princess of wales thanking people in the uk and around the world for what they call kind messages in a truly testing time. this of course, after the princess of wales disclosed her cancer diagnosis and a historic announcement that tried to both preserve her privacy while also stopped conspiracies about her condition in their tracks, joining me now, cnn royal historian kate smith. so kate, can you just place a significance of it? in an announcement like this among some of the many historic announcement, we have seen from the palace >> this is such a historic announcement. the announcement yesterday was really groundbreaking, omar, that level of unprecedented insight into the princess's condition and coming after the king being so open about his the queen, we didn't know that she was ill until her very final moments. similarly with prince philip. and of course, the queen's father, george the six, no one knew he was dying of cancer, not even his daughter. off. she goes on a trip to the top of
3:18 pm
kenya and she becomes queen while she's there because he's, he dies while she's overseas so always before royals have kept at this image of being in perfect health until the last minute. and what we had with kate was this unprecedented announcements, this speaking directly to as very much reminding the omar of the way that the queen gave director dresses, but also being so honest and talking about chemotherapy, about speaking to the children, it really was i think a significant intervention. she's been the story hasn't she for so long, all these social media very distressing and often very cruel social media commentaries and jokes. and now she's taking a narrative to herself and talking about her journey and her recovery and that i think was so inspiring and, you mentioned that direct address and including from the late queen following, for example, princess diana's death, the gravity and the significance >> of presenting the message as serious as this one and that one in the manner that it was
3:19 pm
and now, look in both of those messages, but in their messages in general, they you mentioned they want to continue life as normal as possible. is that possible? what do you read into that aspect of this announcement here >> yes i think what they're trying to do is protect their privacy. i'm not sure that they necessarily kate necessarily wanted to put out this video message, but she's really trying to protect her privacy especially if she's going back and forth for outpatient treatments, people will see her, they will photograph for kensington palace's ask people not to speculate on her cancer the not to photograph her, not to snap or if they're do an easter egg hunt or something with the children, which they normally do during this easter holiday period. but it is going to be very difficult to live a normal life. it's very hard to live a normal life as any world, the queen's governors in the 1930s, she said royals are only private in the world that was the 1930s. they they talked about their huge stores and on
3:20 pm
top of this, haiti's a huge story because of what she's been going through, because we haven't seen her regularly as we normally do. and there is a lot of support for her. i don't think people would like to see a photograph of her on the front of the newspaper. i think people would find that very intrusive to what she said. it's very important. but i think it is going to be difficult because of the press on one hand and there's also people with camera phones and it's hard. the royals are likely white rhinos. they are this incredible >> these, these are very >> rare animals that's often how they're treated. there dehumanized, and they're photographed and lead chased. and that's exactly what happened as you say the great comparison here. princess diana being chased >> and look, i think in recent years, in particular, it's no it's no secret. there appeared to be some sum divides within the family, whether it's the dynamic with harry and meghan and of course, the communication with the late queen and how much they've actually been involved in family matters and treatment of
3:21 pm
meghan as they have they have said, but something like this has seemed to throw all of those things out the window and remind people about what, what is truly important here and do you believe that this situation? and of course, the real support that is going to take to get through this situation can help mend some of the divides that we've seen among the royal family in recent years. >> well, yes. i mean, hearing you have cancer. i mean, there's nothing very few things in this world that a tougher to here and it's very hard and unexpected as it was for kate and everyone is rallying around her and how he rushed over to see the king when he heard about his cancer diagnosis, and harry and meghan put out a statement saying that they were sending healing, sending love, and really underlining kate's request for privacy. megan suffered huge invasions into her privacy and really highly and meghan was saying, we need to give them privacy as well, and that's support, i think is very important and we do expect how
3:22 pm
to becoming over to the uk quite soon connected with the invictus games how can that he will be going over to ck and the support is going to be there. and there have been divisions. the world family has been through a lot, the death of the queen, having a meghan stepping down from royal duties and now the king has cancer, and i think what we all hope is it's going to bring them together because princess diana, she is still she's no longer with us, but she's part of the family and she always wanted to son's to support each other and it would be very important to her that she could do that. >> yeah. yeah. kate williams, thank you for putting all this into context for its are really appreciate it. >> you see >> all right, coming up, fighting for data to save people's lives >> should share information with us. >> yeah, but >> we're also very cognizant of what reality they live the man >> i had, baltimore's new lawsuit against the atf to get more access to crucial information about guns and where they come from. urine,

3:29 pm
before changing hands and being used in crimes. >> but public officials by law can't see exactly where these guns it's originate. only law enforcement can >> we're heading >> into city hall where baltimore's mayor is actually suing the atf to get some of this data. it's data that he thinks can be a major piece of the public safety equation >> we don't have any gun store here in the city of baltimore, but there are some less than a mile outside of the aisle jurisdiction and we don't recover any guns on the streets of baltimore from that particular dealer. but there are some 607080100 miles away that we do something is wrong with them >> in 2003, congress enacted provisions known as the tr amendments restricting access to the information that bureau of alcohol, tobacco firearms, and explosives, fines on where a gun came from. the restrictions have loosened a bit over the past two decades to include local police. but city and state public officials charles still can't access the
3:30 pm
gun trace information. even in that july 2023, baltimore mass shooting, you know, where the guns used and that's shooting came in that case not yet, but we know chances are it didn't come from baltimore 2022, atf data showed most of maryland's crime guns didn't originate in marriage. even if baltimore's mayor doesn't know exactly where they came from president biden partly campaigned on repealing amendments like these back in 2020, but they remain in place. you feel president biden has done enough when it comes to gun safety? >> absolutely. the biggest hindrance to the president going further is congress over 60 democratic members of congress have urged president biden to direct the department of justice to review its interpretation of the amendments. >> the beef isn't >> necessarily with the atf de tf should share information with us. yeah. but we'll also very cognizant what reality they live in with congress and
3:31 pm
other. it's a dynamic >> atf director steven dental back lives in every day. >> last year, 645,700 times. we were asked to trace firearms and send that lead back to local law enforcement who might be conducting an investigation >> that information and can then only be shared with law enforcement for investigative purposes, correct? congress has restrictions and how we can share and use and divulge, trace information. we at atf, we don't write the laws. we abide by them. he >> wouldn't comment on the law itself. >> there are too many guns at fall into the wrong hands in this nation. we have a legal firearms, commercial market, and it is too easy to move firearms from the legal market, to that illegal black mark. >> the firearm industry widely supports the amendments as they are his data, if released, will result in naming and shaming of mueller's based on no facts, even if multiple
3:32 pm
>> guns eventually used in crimes were bought from a single store, from a dealer's perspective, it's not indicative that anybody's got anything wrong. >> i don't care about that standpoint at all because a majority of these people who are afraid on the ones where it's targeted. >> michelle hynes, like crystal gonzalez, also had a child shot and killed in baltimore as a a quarter was 16. >> we need to hold the people who are trafficking the guns and bringing the ligands here accountable and it will help with data. but again, this is not going to be an immediate fix. >> she sees a deeper issue. >> why are people carrying guns in the city? maybe because the norm is in order to be safe, you need to be stretched hate that more and more mothers are experienced and what we're experiencing you can sue whoever you want to. the guns are still on the streets. >> how would you describe the state of guns on the streets of baltimore? >> it's easier for people and in some neighborhoods to get guns than it is to get healthy
3:33 pm
food i'm not someone that's going to try to go and take someone's lawfully own a weapon away from them. but people who should not have them and people who are irresponsibly selling them to people that they know or trafficking those folks should be held responsible. the sanctity of american guns has to be outweighed by the sanctity of american laws >> now we've reached out to the white house about the tr, amendments and his spokesperson told us that early in the administration, they did ask the department of justice to review its interpretation of the amendment. they referred us to the doj for further comment. the doj didn't provide us a comment for this story. we're going to have more on this topic coming up with former baltimore mayor stephanie rawlings blake, whose long fought for gun reform, urine, the cnn newsroom, stay with us my fellow citizens need to be better when you're not normal. it makes me want you to be dead be better at being normal good

3:39 pm
are originating and how much of a difference do you think this is actually going to make >> as mayor, i tried everything that we could think of, whether it was looking at violence as a health crisis to looking at it as a as a criminal justice she we did everything and that's what the mayor is doing now, amir scott is suing the atf, but it's really not the atf. atf didn't make these rules. these are rules imposed by an nra influence. congress to shield distributors that are flooding guns into our communities. and i applaud the mare because we after do everything we can use. every tool we can to try to save lives. >> yeah. >> and look, you have also worked >> as a surrogate for the button campaign and the biden administration has taken significant steps when it comes to guns and gun violence. the bipartisan safer communities act of 2022, which made the straw straw purchasing and trafficking federal crimes separate federal crimes. and then executive orders
3:40 pm
encouraging increased background checks. they also created the first-ever office of gun violence prevention, which both mayor scott and one of the moms you just saw said that they've been in touch with at various points into is created. so i guess do you believe that biden administration is doing enough when it comes to violence and if not, where are those points where they could continue to push things forward until we end gun violence in our country. it's never but do i think the biden administration has done a young woman's job of trying to make our communities safer. absolutely. >> it's time for the congress people who stay that that they want to protect life to come to our cities and to look at what's happening with this flooding of guns and our communities and help us figure out how to save lives, not just give it lip service yeah >> and what we have seen a wide range of voices, even i mentioned in the story as well,
3:41 pm
number of democratic congressman urging the biden administration to find opportunities to do more. because as you mentioned, any person killed is too many people in this country. now, look, you remain baltimore, but also in cities countrywide, it does seem there's not a day that goes by without a shooting or mass shooting. and so what what is the first thing from an administrative or policy standpoint that you believe needs to be done to try and make a dent in this dynamic of violence that again, we've seen cycle over and over and over again at this point i think the biden administration is smart with the gun violence the gun violence office that they've set up because it does take a concentrated and collaborative effort to make a dent in gun violence. and it's no just one thing. it's everything. so i think that that approach makes sense we all in our, in our communities across the country, we have to be on the same page.
3:42 pm
we have to be willing to work with the police and the police have to be willing to work with the community. we have to rebuild the bonds of trust, that we can create a community where the police, when something happens, that the community the first person they call is the police. and in some of these communities where gun violence is ravaging them, their relationships with the police is so broken that they don't want to work in collaboration to create safer community. so there's a lot of work to be done. there's no one thing i believe always we have to do every everything and we have to do it smarter. and in in community >> yeah. and look in places like baltimore that they're looking at around a 20% drop in homicides from last year to this year. and mayor scott has told me that that's obviously not enough, but of course is progress. but i want to get some perspective from you here. because in places like baltimore, places like chicago, where people might say, oh, these cities have strict gun
3:43 pm
laws. and yet we see violence. yet we heard from the mayor hear that a lot of their guns are coming from outside the city and trickle into the city. so from your time as mayor, what are those dynamics that you think are so unique? to a place like baltimore that does proliferate some of the violence that we see >> you know, baltimore is uniquely position up along the 95 corridor. that's where these guys are coming from the challenge, is there elected officials who want to hold mayors accountable and they cities for the gun violence. yet they're not willing to work in an innovative way creative way, and in a strong way to limit the traffic of guns that are coming into our cities. we know that the guns aren't manufactured in baltimore. they're not they're not i don't think we might have one or two gun stores, possibly. i don't even remember but they're not sold in mass quantities in baltimore. they
3:44 pm
are coming from other places. and you know that in baltimore is not unique in that way. so if the people who say that they want to hold cities accountable to be safer. they should be willing to work hand in hand with us to create the tools to do that >> former baltimore stephanie rawlings, blake. thanks for thanks for joining me. >> my pleasure. >> of course >> all right. >> shifting gears here. none of us fully expect our march madness bracket to stay intact for very long, but it still hurts all the same when they get busted? yes including mine i had some new numbers that hopefully you take the sting out of seeing your bracket go up in flames. you're in the cnn newsroom >> leaks lives, cia secrets. >> vowel replace, salary, plane froward play him. >> i was under so >> in your response yeah. >> did someone at the white house blow the cover of a cia operative after her husband criticized the run-up to the

how many perfect brackets were left out of more than 29 million 0-0-0. >> wow, that's that's not >> unusual though, o'mara, there was zero last year, there were 0.20, 22, there was 0.20, 21. the one year in which there were actually some left after day to watch 2019 when there were a grand total of 15. of course, there were very few upset that's that year. this year, there have been plenty of upsets, so not a big surprise. so if you're bracket is busted, you are part of a very large community. my dear friend, to get community, we share tears, reshare stories of the journey we've had. it's only we're only in the second round here. i mean, we've got a long way to go. and look. we've got bracket busters every year as you just showed to a bot, which team this year has caused the most damage so far because i can tell you who did it from my bracket >> yeah. how about the oakland golden grizzlies from the great state of michigan? yeah, that will do it. only 5.1% of folks

had them winning a singh bowl game of 14 seed. how about yale, the bulldogs, which is just north of us omar up in new haven, connecticut, just 9.6% of folks had them winning a single game. perhaps i should have chosen them. i had a little inclination, but i didn't go with it. pain. the dukes of 24.7% had them winning again am i did not have any of these teams winning a single one. they are the top bracket busters so far. and i managed to bust my bracket on all of them. >> i honestly i can't even tell you the science i picked duquesne to win in the first round. i just i just i felt good about the 11 seed and i can and give you a scientific explanation for why. and those are the people that usually do best in the bracket. you can think about it too much. you just got to go off of vibes >> now, look >> for the tens of millions of people who didn't quite pick the right squads. as you mentioned, they shouldn't feel too badly about their picks at this point. but what, how many
