you re live in the cnn newsroom. i m jim acosta in washington. we begin this hour in ukraine. new worries, one year into the war that russia could soon receive support that could be a game changer. the source of the concern is china and the possibility of beijing providing lethal aid to russia. now, the white house has called this a red line and the cia doesn t believe a final decision has been made by beijing, but it s worrisome, nonetheless. and, you know, beijing will have to make its own decisions about how it proceeds, whether it provides military assistance, but if it goes down that road, it will come at real cost to china and i think china s leaders are weighing that, as they make their decisions. but first, let s go to cnn s alex marquardt, who is in ukraine with the latest on the fighting there. jim, some of the heaviest fighting, some of the worst casualty rates on both sides is now taking place around the eastern city of bakhmut. russian forces from the gro

Awful. tell us more. yeah, jim, it is sickening to watch this surveillance footage from inside of a school. and in it, we see a student just brutally attacking a teacher s aide. the student, 6 6 and about 270 pounds. so when he s in a room speaking with the school resource deputy, he tells that deputy that the reason he did that was because he was upset that this teacher s aide took away his nintendo switch. so we have that voideo, but first, a warning, it is disturbing. this happened on tuesday in flagler county just south of st. augustine. you can see that teacher s aide right there in the black, there goes a student, knocking her to the ground. he s instantly motionless and he is kicking and punching at her repeatedly, apparently 15 times according to an arrest report. students, other teachers and staff notice the attach and rush in trying to separate him away from this teacher s aide and
