3:37 pm
>> reporter: 71-year-old shep shove experienced a breakthrough infection. he's been fully vaxxed and boosted, but 12 days ago tested positive for covid. >> it just kept getting worse for another couple of days and then it stopped getting worse. >> reporter: he says paxlovid helped keep him out of the hospital. >> yeah, what would it have been like if i hadn't had three vaccines and the paxlovid? so, i have to think it would have been pretty bad. >> a lot of people turning to paxlovid now that it's more readily available. eva with us tonight. and eva, we just learned hospital admissions amongst children up 15% in just a week. and eva, i know there's real concern here that the new wave is actually much steeper, because these are just the cases authorities know about. obviously many people are testing at home, just getting through it on their own and the numbers likely are far higher. >> reporter: david, experts caution the numbers may be higher than we know, because a lot of these cases aren't being reported, either people aren't being tested or, as you said, they are testing at home.
3:38 pm
one expert telling us he wouldn't be surprised if the numbers were actually higher than during delta. david? >> all right, haeva, thank you. we are following the investigation tonight at the mysterious deaths of americans at a luxury resort in the bahamas. michael and robbie phillips among those who did not survive this. authorities say all four americans sought medical help the night before three of them were then found dead. toxicology samples have been sent to a u.s. lab. and abc's will reeve is in the bahamas tonight. >> and this is the villa where the three people passed away. >> reporter: tonight, an urgent investigation in the bahamas as officials identify the three americans who mysteriously died at the sandals emerald bay resort in exuma. michael and robbie phillips of tennessee found dead in their beachside villa. their family writing, "our hearts are grieving and broken, but full of hope." vincent chiarella

3:41 pm
the annual spectacle come them rates the soviet victory over the nazis. but in his speech, putin used a war of necessity in the past to justify a war of choice today, falsely accusing america, nato, and kyiv of provoking the conflict. the russian leader telling his forces in ukraine, "you're nighting for the motherland, for its future, so no one forgets the lessons of the second world war." but with so many troops tied up in ukraine, this was a smaller parade than normal. no fly-by of fighter jets, bad weather blamed. many feared putin would double down, escalate the war, announce a military draft even, but instead, he repeated old lies about fighting nazis in ukraine. and in his own victory day address released today, a defiant president zelenskyy walking the streets of kyiv, declaring russia wouldn't win. in an eastern ukrainian village, more than 60 people are feared dead after russians destroyed a
3:42 pm
school serving as a shelter. in the northeast, less than 20 miles from the northern border with russia, putin's war is going in the wrong direction. village after village is being reclaimed by dogged ukrainian troops. this entire area is littered with the debris of russia's war. there are tanks, armored personnel carriers. there are a couple of dead russian soldiers up there, and the air is thick with the stench of decomposition. and this is what happened to their tanks, and this is what putin's victory looks like. hello, yuri. yuri is a highly decorated hero of world war ii. the medals on his chest speak to the battles he fought alongside his russian comrades against the nazis. he can't find words for what they're doing now. russia shells his city almost daily with rockets and missiles. his apartment block has been hit, but yuri refuses to leave. yuri says he's promised himself
3:43 pm
he'll stay alive until ukraine wins this war. it would be the second miraculous victory in one long lifetime. >> what a world war ii veteran must make of what he's witnessing today. ian pannell back with us again tonight from ukraine's second-largest city, kharkiv. and ian, president biden making news tonight, making it clear he's not happy with recent leaks, all that reporting about u.s. intelligence that's been shared with ukraine yan officials, he believes these leaks are dangerous. >> reporter: yeah, that's right, david. i mean, white house press secretary jen psaki saying that biden was displeased with those leaks, that u.s. intelligence played a role in ukraine not just killing russian generals, but also the sinking of russia's warship. remember, this was the flag ship of the russian black sea fleet, it was sunk last month, acting on intelligence that was provided by america. the ukrainians obviously added their own intelligence. the president believing the stories overstated the u.s. role and were, quote, inaccurate. david? >> ian pannell in kharkiv for us tonight. ian, thank you. back here at home now and to
3:44 pm
the showdown over abortion across this country. protesters outside the homes of chief justice john roberts and justice brett kavanaugh. and tonight, what the republican leader mitch mcconnell is now saying about the responsibility of a federal abortion ban if roe versus wade is overturned. here's mary bruce tonight. >> question will not go back! >> reporter: after a weekend when thousands took to the streets rallying for abortion rights, some gathering outside the homes of supreme court justice brett kavanaugh. and chief justice john roberts, tonight, security around the justices is stepping up. the u.s. marshals now involved in protecting the members of the court, after that leaked draft opinion indicated they're preparing to overturn roe v. wade. it comes as the top republican in the senate, mitch mcconnell, indicates overturning roe could be just the beginning. that if republicans gain control of congress, they could pass a federal ban on abortion. mcconnell saying, "if the leaked
3:45 pm
opinion became the final opinion, legislative bodies, not only at the state level, but at the federal level certainly could legislate in that area," adding, "i don't think it's much secret where senate republicans stand on that issue." today we took that to the white house. how at-risk does the administration believe the u.s. is to completely outlawing abortion? >> i think we're at serious risk. you heard, you noted mitch mcconnell and other republicans in congress are talking about a national ban on a woman's right to choose. >> reporter: the white house warning republicans could go try to go even further, possibly banning some forms of contraception. if roe is overturned, 26 states would quickly move to severely restrict access to abortion or ban it outright. 13 have already passed so-called trigger laws, that would ban the procedure the moment roe is struck down. now a number of democrat-led states like new york and connecticut are exploring ways to assist women seeking help. and today, chicago's mayor announced funding to help women from other states who cross into illinois to get an abortion.
3:46 pm
>> these dollars will go to support transportation, lodging, followup care, and if necessary, the safe and legal procedure of abortion. >> all right, mary, senate democrats are scheduling this vote wednesday on a bill to make the woman's right to an abortion a federal law. they know the reality that they don't have the votes. so, they want every senator on record on this issue instead? >> reporter: exactly. this is purely symbolic, david. tonight, the lone undecided republican, lisa murkowski, just anounced she is a no. democrats know this vote isn't going anywhere, but what it will do is force every republican to go on the record, as democrats and the president are preparing to make abortion rights a key issue in the upcoming midterm elections. david? >> mary bruce live at the white house. thank you, mary. we turn now to the nationwide shortage of infant formula. supply shortages and three common brands pulled off shelves. so, what are parents to do? here's abc's erielle reshef tonight. >> reporter: tonight, that critical nationwide shortage of baby formula. >> it's definite panic.
3:47 pm
>> reporter: pandemic supply chain issues compounded by a major voluntary recall back in february of three popular brands manufactured by abbott. the company pulling those products after four infants became ill and two died, saying after reviewing all data it does not believe their facility is the likely source of infection. but families facing the dramatic ripple effects. in april, 40% of the national baby formula inventory was out of stock. new mom leslyn holub's 3-month-old jack was born a premie and requires specialized formula. >> it's kind of a mess out there. i check all of them. target or walmart, amazon, gerber every day. just to see if it is there. >> reporter: shelves in some stores empty. >> there's only a few manufacturers that are making the entire supply we see on grocery store and pharmacy shelves. and if one of those is not meeting demand, there is a bottleneck. >> reporter: and abbott telling abc news it is doing everything it can to address the shortage. the white house weighing in
