thank you
hey everyone we're halfway through the
week so let's maximize these moments we
only get 86 400 seconds in a day once
they're gone we never get them back I'm
koi I'm ready to help you fuel your mind
for the day right here on CNN 10. we're
going to start with the latest news out
of Eastern Europe seven months ago on
February 24th Russia invaded Ukraine
over the weekend there was an attack on
a symbolic and strategic russian-built
Bridge linking the nation to its
occupied territory of Crimea the damage
served a major blow to Russian President
Vladimir Putin not just optically but
strategically the bridge was an
important Supply route for Russian
troops the attack further weakened
moscow's war in Ukraine which has
brought significant losses on the
battlefield and criticism back home
Russia accused Ukraine of a terrorist
attack but while Ukrainian officials
celebrated the incident they have not
directly claimed responsibility
regardless Russia launched a
counter-attack firing missile strikes
which have hit more than a dozen
Ukrainian cities since the start of this
week areas across Ukraine were left
without power or drinkable water and
several people were killed President of
Ukraine Vladimir zielinski said the
missile attacks which happened at rush
hour were deliberately timed to kill
people these strikes threatened to
further escalate the war we're going to
continue to keep you updated as the
conflict continues up next we're looking
at the issue of immigration in the
United States in 2022 the U.S saw a
record number of migrants at the U.S
Mexico border though they're coming in
from several countries they're
ultimately traveling through Mexico to
reach the United States many states near
the border have been calling for tighter
immigration policies three of those
States Texas Arizona and Florida all
have Republican Governors who've
recently announced initiatives to move
migrants from their states to
democratic-led areas they've accused the
Democratic leaders of failing to enforce
immigration laws on one side Republican
leaders argue their communities cannot
shoulder the burden imposed by open
border Advocates and on the other side
Democrats have said that Republicans are
playing politics with human lives CNN
National correspondent Athena Jones
joins us now from Randall's Island New
York with more
we are at the edge of the precipice New
York City facing a crisis we need
serious partnership and realistic
Solutions mayor Eric Adams declaring a
state of emergency as the nation's
largest city struggles to house
thousands of migrants in an already over
stretched shelter system at least 17
thousand migrants seeking Asylum have
been bussed to New York from the
southern border since April and the city
expects to spend at least a billion
dollars by the end of the fiscal year
dealing with the influx
it's not about an American Dream but
more than anything a dream for my family
back in Venezuela the children we share
work hard and follow the legal route to
Asylum if migrants continue to arrive at
the current rate the mayor warned the
city's shelter population now near
capacity at a record 61 000 people could
top 100 000 people in the year to come
the mayor said 42 hotels have been set
up as Emergency Shelters and 5 500
migrant children have been enrolled in
schools Adams is calling for emergency
federal and state aid he also wants
assistance with expedited work permits a
national strategy to slow the flow of
Asylum Seekers and a resettlement
strategy to better share the burden
among cities this is a humanitarian
crisis that started with violence and
instability in South America
and it is being accelerated by American
political Dynamics
thousands of Asylum Seekers have been
bussed into New York City and simply
dropped off without notice coronation or
care in a move critics call a political
stunt Red State Governors like Greg
Abbott of Texas have been sending
migrants to cities like New York
unannounced to highlight The Strain on
border states grappling with the issue
and to call attention to what those
governors say is the Biden
administration's failure to control the
Border this all began back in April when
small little towns on the Texas border
were overwhelmed by Joe Biden's uh
border policies that were dumping
thousands of illegal immigrants into
these small little towns that were
completely incapable of dealing with it
and they needed relief
in the next few weeks the city plans to
open a large humanitarian emergency
response and Relief Center on Randall's
Island that will house hundreds of
people but the mayor warned without
immediate action the center will be full
in just days and more facilities will
have to be opened but critics have long
argued shelters aren't the answer the
city's strategy seems to be getting the
migrants to be out of sight and out of
mind
when they arrive off the buses they tend
to be told to go to the shelter system
which are prison-like conditions
advocates for the homeless and for
migrants are pushing the city to come up
with long-term permanent housing for
them
the city has the budget the state and
federal government have the budget to
buy out vacant housing and underutilized
hotels to house every unhoused person in
New York almost immediately and that's
what we really want to see Athena Jones
