there's a water gushing into the streets, cutting off water for homes and businesses, even forcing some hospitals to evacuate patients. >> what the mayor is saying about the problem in california, a fast moving fired doubled in size yesterday and is now forcing some people out of their homes more on what we're learning about injuries and what's fueling the fire can't stop, won't stop another round of severe weather possible today across the central and northern plains. >> i'll highlight exactly what we're coming up later in the show in the florida panthers are headed to the stanley cup final after beating the new york rangers in the eastern conference finals, but they would not hoist the trophy. >> they wouldn't even touch it, will have the y on that end more in sports all right, we begin with breaking news out of atlanta, the city has declared a state of emergency saturday after two days of the city trying to repair two major water main breaks across the city. >> this massive disruption left businesses and homes with little to no water. and it also resulted in a boil water advisory for a majority of the city's residents hospitals and downtown and midtown elana were forced to transfer patients and divert ambulances to other hospitals. atlanta mayor andre dickens has apologized saying the teams are working nonstop to repair the water main breaks we take this matter very, very seriously and our whole team takes it very seriously. as you see as working on this, we apologize profusely for this disruption to life in the city of atlanta the break also led to several major tourist attractions, including the georgia aquarium, zoo, atlanta to close for the past two days. >> thousands of people in neighborhoods throughout the city had been left without water for more than 24 hours becomes kind of infrequently. we managed to take a shower in the ones who i'm it resolved this morning. fortunate me. >> but yeah drinking water or we've had no cooking, no washing facilities yeah. it's just crazy called flush the toilets, can't have a shower. kohn hello, boil water to cook. >> yeah, it's crazy well, one of the main breaks has been repaired. >> crews are still working to repair the second break with a watershed department saying that they are doing everything they can to restore regular water flow to the city more breaking news, this is out of california, a growing grass fire and san joaquin county has already consumed more than 11,000 acres and it's forcing people in its path to evacuate. the california department of forestry and fire says the corral fire started in the city of tracing saturday afternoon and buy saturday night was still owe only 13% contains san joaquin county officials issued evacuation orders for tracy residents naris to the fire and told others nearby that they should be ready to leave two firefighters were injured while responding to the fire cal fire battalion chief cal fire battalion chief says that they had minor to moderate injuries and were transported to local hospitals for treatment cnn's derek van dam is tracking all these fires for us. tell us more, what do we need to know? >> yeah, m or viktor, this is the new normal and are warming climate. if we go back a couple of years ago, we had drought, longstanding drought across the state of california, but the past two winters have brought above average snowfall. and what that's done is the loud for grass to grow across much of the central valley will now it's time for the taps to be turned off and they have dried out exceptionally quick. watch this. this is the start of may. you can see all the greenery here across central california. let's advance by 30 days. look, call that starting to change to more of a shading of brown. so even visible from base, this drying effect. now you start to combine that with, of course, the temperatures that are starting to skyrocket and the lack of precipitation lately. and that is a recipe for fires that's why we have the evacuation is underway, 13% containment with the corral fire in, the san joaquin region and it has been fueled by very strong winds. these are equivalent to tropical storm force winds for instance, look at this san francisco airport, 52 miles per hour overnight, and we still have our heat advisory is in place for much of this region as the mercury in the thermometer continues to climb through the early parts of next week, and we'll see see this heat risk continue for much of the central valley along with winds fueling more flames, amara, victor. >> alright, derrick, thank you very much. there was a mass shooting overnight in ohio. one person is dead, dozens are injured gunshot victims started arriving at akron hospitals overnight and cnn affiliate we was is reporting that as many as 26 people were shot. both the cleveland clinic and summa health system in akron are confirming this morning that they are treating patients from this incident a spokesperson says an our thoughts are with the victims and their families, and i want to thank our first responders and caregivers for everything they did to care for our patients and community. at this moment, it is unclear what led to the shooting. and cnn of course, will bring you more as we get those details. overnight in singapore, ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy met with us defense secretary lloyd austin to talk about its progress battling russia zelenskyy posted on x. he said that the two discussed what ukraine needs to defend itself and a possible bilateral security agreement as once-key is attending a high-stakes security summit singapore meeting with world leaders about what ukraine is dealing with ukrainian dying. >> i'm not sure, russians are raping, are people women so gaza, tens of thousands of children, nobody had to tell us how this is, how to end this war. it should and equity to a and justice and this has compulsory greene them as cnn's and, tasha per tran joining us now it's a familiar scene where we've seen zelenskyy plead many times, appeal to foreign officials. >> what are we learning? think about zelenskyy meeting with lloyd austin, secretary of state, a defense will amara he met earlier to de here with secretary austin and really they discussed, of course, ukraine's most urgent battlefield needs, including their desperate need. >> need for additional air defense systems and munitions, something that is increasingly in short supply, not only inside ukraine, but of course among its allies, including the us. so that is a very, very the key need right now for the ukrainians as they tried to fend off these massive missile brushes that russia is launching on a real daily basis. there. >> but they also discussed, of course, this made sure policy shift by the united states to finally allow ukraine to use american made weapons to strike inside russia itself, something that the ukrainians had been i'm pushing the us to allow for quite some time now and which the us finally decided to give the green light for just last week and you, president zelenskyy, repeat he did many times today. >> how thankful he was for that decision that was made by president biden. but really, one of the big reasons that's zelenskyy came to this forum to singapore was to send a message to the chinese who have been accused of helping russia and supporting their defense sector and essentially fueling this war in ukraine by selling and transporting dual use items to the russians that can be used to build military equipment. and overall bolster russia's defense sector. and he was not able according to comments that he made to reporters earlier today, to actually meet with any chinese officials here today, the chinese apparently rebuffed his requests for several meetings this year over the weekend, but he did reveal that the chinese according to his information, are actively working alongside the russians to try to undermine support for a peace summit that ukraine is aiming to hold. in the next two weeks in switzerland. and so the bottom line here was that while he made an effort according to officials, to try to beat with the chinese, to try to get them to stop their support for the russians he was not necessarily successful, but the biggest reason he came here today and over the weekend was trying to rally the other asian leaders around ukraine in its fight against the russians. and of course, to meet with secretary austin in the wake of that very major decision to allow ukraine to use american weapons mr. strike inside russian territory. >> natasha per trans in singapore. thank you in just a few hours, millions will vote and mexico's historic presidential election that will put a woman in the top job for the first time. >> it is also the largest general election with more than 70,000 candidates vying for congressional and governor states as well as local positions. >> one of the key issues is public safety political unrest, and cartel violence have marred this campaign season. cnn, gustavo valdez is joining us now from mexico city so gustavo, talk to us about the last 24 hours and more about what we expect to see at the poles as they opened well good, morning we're expecting hopefully a peaceful transition of power, if you will. >> this is almost 100 million mexicans going to the polls. and they have a clear choice. this is not just an election to select an express and it's really a referendum as to whether they want to continue policies of president andres manuel lopez obrador and in public safety in particular he had a hands-off approach. he basically declined to utilize the army and the police forces to actively pursue the cartels, the organized crime in many have criticized him for that. they believe that is the reason mexico has fallen into these lawless in which we saw more than 30 candidates killed during this political process. and there is this feeling among citizens that the country is not safe. in fact, the mexico is considered one of the more dangerous countries in the world. so beyond that, they also the mexican have this choice to make between continuing those policies, social programs that he either created or expanded the relationship with the united states and other nations versus perhaps the more traditional way of doing business in mexico with the opposition who had to nominate a unified candidate because they saw how powerful lopez obrador and his morena party had become so calorie same baum, who is the get it for morena is seen as the favorite to continue these policies but the opposition in the last few weeks that apparently they have gained some momentum, the assassination of more candidates might be affecting the vote today. so it's gonna be very interesting to see not only if mexico go and select a woman to be their presence, something they have given, it's a fact for them because the two top candidates are women, they are really looking forward to decide the future of the country. >> it's a fascinating election, as you said, millions and mexico will be voting. but what about those who live abroad? >> it has created large interests outside the borders. mexicans are broad, can, can vote. there is interests in the united states alone, about 200,000 mexicans register to vote and they're gonna do it almost at the same time as it did here in mexico. so it's going to be interesting, especially in the states because they spend so much money back, they're such a large part of the mexican economy that their vote is actually significant. they have a stake in this game, so it's going to be very interesting to see when the results come in later tonight to see how the people who have left the country for whatever reason, they want their country to be all right. thank you for being there. mexico city, gustavo valdes. >> thank you jury selection begins tomorrow, and hunter biden's first criminal trial coming up, what to expect as he faces federal

the president's son, hunter biden, a biden has pleaded not guilty to three gun crimes connected to when he allegedly lied. on a federal form, when he swore that he was not using drugs before buying a gun. >> and testimony could get messy the prosecutor say three of hunter biden's x's will take the stand and some of biden's text messages are being allowed in. cnn's marshall cohen has the latest good morning well, tomorrow is going to be a historic de for the united states. hunter biden, the son of president joe biden, will stand trial in delaware on federal gun charges. this is the very first time in our nation's history that the son of a sitting president will go on trial obviously, a huge moment for the white house, for the biden family and for special counsel, david weiss, who brought the case. he has been investigating hunter biden for over five years and this is the very first time that his charges will be tested in federal court. the charges here revolve around a gun that hunter biden bought in 2018. he's accused of lying on federal firearm forms when he bought the gun, checking a box that said he was not a user of or addicted to illegal drugs. he's also accused of unlawfully possessing the gun while addicted to drugs. hunter biden has pleaded not guilty to these charges, but he's been very public and very open about his lifelong struggle with addiction, including years of crack cocaine addiction around the same time when he did have that gun. that's gonna be the heart of this case. if they can prove the prosecutors that he was using drugs around the time of the gun. that will be key to winning a conviction. so the proceedings start tomorrow, monday morning, 250 delaware residents have been summoned for jury service. they will be as some questions about their ability to be fair and impartial despite the fact that this is obviously a political politicized case involving the son of the president. wants the jury is seated. the prosecutors and the defense think that this case may last one to two weeks, so it's all going to be happening in delaware. but keep in mind once this is done, it's not the end of the hunter biden's legal troubles. he faces a second indictment in california, which is set to go to trial later this year, and that is on federal tax offenses marshall cohen cnn, washington marceau. thank you. see it. legal analyst, joey jackson is with his now. joey. good morning to you. i want to start with jury selection first, because the jury selection in a hunter biden trial starts four days after the conviction of former president trump how do you weed out if you're the defense attorney here, you're trying to weed out those people potentially who want political revenge. what do you ask? how do you get them out of the number? >> yeah, those are great questions, victor. good morning to you. and so remember that the questions with respect to selecting a jury has been submitted, right? what happens in federal court if you submit to the federal judge in there certain questions to elicit bias certainly those questions will center around whether or not people could be fair and reasonable, objective, and impartial, whether they believe this to be smacking of politics, whether they can move politic to the side, whatever they may be not asking them specifically what sayyed there on. but the essence of any question that's developed and presented entered to the jury. victor's to discern whether or not someone's inclinations would prevent them would preclude them from sitting on this jury. the big question for me really, we could get into his why we're here. i mean, the reality is is that it's a shame that there is this sort of politica
