governments, health location, and even financial data are legally, legally now up for sale, something the justice department warrants is a growing national security threat. cnn's sean lingas has this report for us this morning. sean, what are you learning >> john, in some respects, the horse is already left the barn. there's so much commercially available data from dating apps iphones fitbits, that sort of thing. that's out there that the administration is trying to batten down patches, but they're realizing that you really need comprehensive legislation from congress to do that. so this is a stop gap measure to make it harder for foreign intelligence services to scoop up data like this. it's been this data is freely available and its longstanding concern that us officials have had that say a soldier at a us military base in the us is it's using a fit that you go for a workout with. that data goes back to a data center that
5:01 am
if you're smart enough, you can figure out where that is. it's all bailable to be bought and sold legally in the us. so this is an attempt to sort of claw back some of that security. and it comes amid really strong concerns in the administration and on capitol hill about chinese surveillance. in particular, given tensions between the us and china, john all >> sean lyngaas. thank you so much for that report. keep us posted >> we lost everything. that is what one person in texas just told us this morning as wildfires are scorching the texas panhandle, people are being formed forced to flee, and crews are battling against at least five fires. >> we are standing by for the >> arrival of hunter biden on capitol hill after fierce negotiations she he is set to testify shortly in the impeachment investigation into his father >> new findings about marijuana
5:02 am
and the risk of heart attack and stroke ok. baldwin with john berman, sara is off today. this is cnn news central >> all right, we do have breaking news. we just got word that the smokehouse creek big fire in texas is the second largest wildfire that that state has ever seen. it is growing and growing quickly. hundreds of thousands of acres have been scorched homes and buildings destroyed. we just spoke to a children's pastor, a church that has been sheltering more than 200 people she said several have told her, quote, we have lost everything and we just got some new scanner audio in from fire crews. listen to this multiple fox we can't hold it out of there let's call out. we have
5:03 am
too many spots you pull out, everybody pull out >> and listen to that, listen to that, we can't hold it the fires they are growing in size now, more than 500,000 acres and you just heard it there. it is 0% contained pained. now emmer look, amarillo, texas is home to a nuclear weapons facility as of now, there's no fire on the property of that plant. the flames did get close overnight and the plant was forced to evacuate for a time. it is back to a normal schedule now one rancher told cnn that there was no time to evacuate the animals before the fires arrived, they tried to corral the cows as the flames rushed toward them, you can see some of it there with us now, cnn meteorologist derek van dam, cnn's lucy kabanov. he was in
5:04 am
amarillo lucy, let's start with you with the situation on the ground. what are you seeing? what are you hearing? >> in amarillo? the visibility is extremely low. the areas full of thick smoke that burns your eyes at burns your mouth. this is one of the safer areas residents who can get here from neighboring counties are being asked to evacuate to shelter here, there was a neighborhood here in amarillo that was also evacuated. that evacuation order. now lifted the cognitive dissonance of covering a higher in such cold temperatures it's certainly a thing, but it's really needs to you need wins that are fueling more than five, or at least five. wow iran in the surrounding areas, as you point out now, the smokehouse creek fire, the second largest in texas history. so many of the areas impacted crews on the ground, struggling to get these blazes under control. and i actually want to play a little more of that police scanner sound from
5:05 am
the borger police and fire departments, it really gives you a sense of how terrifying these moments are. take a listen what recourse that have long histories >> i'm copying unit fire was coming to you >> want water >> in these are truly terrifying situations and we spoke about the city of fritch last hour, which had asked residents to evacuate last night, natural gas was turned off there. this warnings officials are dana facebook post that they need a massive 75,000 volt industrial generator to help get their water backup because the power is out this is a really scary
5:06 am
situation they've got a 2000 acre blaze and then they're also impacted by the smokehouse creek fire. and so a lot of the residents are struggling with a scenario they're in canadian texas also, one motel owner told cnn that it looks like armageddon. there was light. does and smoke all over the area. she had to evacuate. she had to shut down her motel so many different places men's couldn't get out in time and so they had to shelter and local churches and local gymnasiums and local schools. >> we are >> hearing from the weather service that the winds are supposed to be a little bit more tame today but that does not mean that folks are in the clear. again, those wildfires spreading. texas doesn't have all of the resources that it needs to get them under control quickly. >> all right. lucy kafanov in amarillo, keep us posted there. and as lucy noted, the smokehouse creek fire is just one of several fires burning
5:07 am
now, that one alone, 500,000 acres, 0% contained in the second largest in texas state history. let's get to derek van dam for an update on what we might see over the next few hours, derek >> yeah, john, a half 1 million acres burned from this one fire that started on monday, but really exploded overnight, 500,000 acres is the equivalent of burning the size of manhattan 23 times. that puts it into perspective how large this fire is you can see it from space. you can see it from satellite imagery. and i think what's important to know is this 0% containment extremely erratic wildfire behavior on the ground as we speak, this information of 500,000 is nude. us, just within the past five minutes. so we actually have to update this graphic to show that the new placement of the smokehouse creek fire and hutchinson county has bumped from the fifth largest in texas history to the second largest. those records go back to 1988,
5:08 am
so several years, but look at this erratic and extreme fire behavior, literally jumping over some of the roadways. i mean, look at that flame, reaching the other side. so there is nothing to stop this fire. and there was actually a plane that was flying over the texas panhandle overnight and you saw the full scope of these fires burning out of control. this is really interesting as well. we came across a satellite imagery, this blue line, i'm depicting here is actually a cold front and notice the hotspots, those are the ongoing fires across the texas panhandle. the wind was blowing out of the west to the east at 50 miles an hour yesterday, once that cold front came through, it changed the direction the wind from the north, and it allowed that fire to take advantage of the dry fuels on the ground. and start more fires further south. so it made it that much more difficult to fight the fires on the ground. we heard the firefighters pulling back and retreating because of these erratic fire behaviors, it will continue to be smoky in and
5:09 am
around amarillo today, you can imagine that dense fog and smoke we sought and lucy shot just a moment ago. but what's interesting is we can actually forecasts us out into the future. notice the change in the wind direction, more of a southerly flow. so it'll take that smoke northward through the oklahoma panhandle and further north, we're going to see temperatures warming backup with that suddenly flow. so perhaps we reintroduce the potential a fire behavior and fire weather towards the weekend that's something still to be considered. all right, john, some terrifying images there, but a really interesting and informative way of looking at it all. derek van dam thank you very much >> okay. >> so this morning we're looking at a pivotal moment in the republican impeachment effort against president biden to hunter biden, his son is headed back to the hill this time he is going behind closed doors to take questions from lawmakers. some of the very same lawmakers moving to impeach his father. cnn's paula reid on capitol hill for for us for a look at what is going to
5:10 am
happen. there's been such a lead up and back and forth to get to this point, paula, what do you think is going to happen today? >> kaitlan this is a make or break moment for gop lawmakers who so far had provided no clear evidence of their allegation that president biden benefit did from his son's foreign business dealings. and hunter's deposition today comes just two weeks after an informant at the heart of these allegations, who claimed that the biden biden's received millions of dollars in foreign bribes was charged by the justice department with lying with fabricating that story. now republicans are trying to brush that off they head into today's deposition. but kate, we weren't even sure they were going to be able to ask biden questions behind closed doors because since he received this request, hunter and his lawyers have made it clear they wanted to testify publicly because they were concerned about selective leaks and the gop lawmakers would try to spin whatever he said so today's appearance, the fact that he is sitting for this deposition in prior that came after two
5:11 am
significant concessions from republicans. the first is that this deposition will not be filmed. notable since other witnesses had their depositions filmed. and also there's the issue of the transcript. now, we're told that both parties will receive it at the same time and it's going to be released to the public week expect very quickly possibly even within 24 hours. again, these were concessions made to a these concerns about selective leaks. but kate, as seen over the past year or so, hunter biden with his new lawyer, abbe lowell and kevin morris. they have taken a much more aggressive approach to house republicans to hunter's of detractors. you seen them show up on announced on a hill twice in the past few months as they were negotiating this appearance. and we'll see the approach they intend to take today. >> yeah. >> i mean, it still remains a question while we hear from hunter biden, his his attorneys before they go in. i mean, all of this has been so kind of wait and see. we will do exactly that together today this morning. it's good to see you, paula. thank you. john
5:12 am
>> this morning, the first attempt by the biden campaign to men the phrase in the coalition revealed in michigan overnight, president biden did win the democratic primary easily, but more than 101,000 voters voted uncommitted, largely to protest us support for israel's war against hamas. the new campaign response is quote, president biden shares the goal of many of the folks who voted uncommitted, which has an end to the violence and a just and lasting peace that is what he is working towards. as for donald trump, while he is win in michigan, was his biggest primary victory yet it is worth noting. he still lost a greater share in his party and more votes in his party. then president biden did overnight with us. now is cnn political commentator and co-founder and editor-in-chief of the dispatch. jonah goldberg. joan, let's look at this from a glass half empty perspective from both campaigns. who would you like to be more or less this morning, president biden,
5:13 am
having lost 100,000 votes to not commit it or donald trump, who continues to lose hundreds of thousands of votes, albeit fewer percentage points that he did before. it's nikki haley yeah, it's a good way. >> it's a good way to ask the question i got to say, i think biden comes out marginally better if we're just confining things the significance of michigan, right? because look, the people voting non-committed are uncommitted, are voting on an issue. they very clear about that they're honest about that nobody disputes that and we can have arguments about the merits of the issue or the policies of the issue. but it's an issue biden can change the politics and or his positions on an issue in the republican primary, the issue is donald trump. and if there's one thing we know about donald trump is he can't change himself. >> and so it is >> more revealing of the divides in the republican party than it is revealing of the divides in the democratic party. the fundamental divides,
5:14 am
right? if biden changed his position tomorrow he could get most of those non-committed people back. he would lose other people. but the point is, is he has maneuvering room while donald trump, the issue is donald trump himself and we know the guy can't change, you can't pivot to being presidential. he's a known quantity and that's a really daunting prospect for trump. i think, you know >> hearing from democrats what they see most concerned about isn't necessarily the era of american vote per say, which i think they perhaps expected to have struggles with in michigan you can overnight. but it's young people, it's the areas around university of michigan at ann arbor. those counties, those college counties. if president biden can't galvanize support among young voters, how much of a problem is that for democrats in november? >> yeah, i think that's a huge problem you know, michigan has the most arab americans, muslim americans in any state. it's very fairly concentrated population. it's one of the only states were arab americans
5:15 am
and muslim americans outnumbered jewish americans, for example and but young america is like in many ways the core of the democratic coalition particularly when you talk about the people with, with the passion, the organizers, the leaflet hand or outers, all those kinds of people, those are progressive college kids. and he's in real trouble with those guys. >> and i suspect a lot of them will come home when you get closer to the election and donald trump is more the focus of the conversation. but if he can't shore that up, it's very difficult to see how he puts together a coalition in these swing states that he needs to win jada, i love history and i love elections history more than anything. and i was fascinated to read a column you wrote comparing nikki haley to pat buchanan, which is something that i think on paper, not a lot of people would do. why are you making that comparison? >> although i did do it on paper
5:16 am
>> so look, i mean in 1992, i'm old enough to remember republicans, the pundits, the political class freaked out when pat buchanan got about 38, 37% in the new hampshire primary married challenging and an incumbent president george hw bush began stayed in the race till the end. he averaged about 22% of the republican vote through all the primaries. and lots of people believe that would be cannons primary challenge is what doomed george hw bush, his reelection efforts. similarly in 1980 at ted kennedy did something very similar with similar numbers to jimmy carter and he lost in 1980. the relevance here is nikki haley is in no way like pat buchanan in terms of her policies, or politics. but she has outperforming so far patrick began in 1992 and lots of people, myself included almost every analyst i've seen has compared trump to
5:17 am
essentially a quasi-incumbent 100% name id controls the party ran as an incumbent, didn't do the debates now obviously he's not an actual incumbent, but he kinda serves as one in part because as a former president who says he didn't lose the last election, the party just sort of rallied around him and nikki's numbers. if papi cannons numbers were indicative of incredibly weak incumbent and hw bush then nikki haley's numbers have to be pointing towards a certain weakness in donald trump, even if he isn't a full fledged incumbent. >> yeah, one difference might be between 1980, ted kennedy, 92, pat buchanan, and today, i can't imagine nikki haley getting a speaking slot anywhere near the convention this time around this summer it comes to what it jumps to pass. >> you might have a food truck outside the convention, but no way in the convention she'd be lucky to be speaking near that food truck. jonah goldberg. great to talk to you this morning. thank you very much. okay. super interesting as good to have joan on he was supposed

could determine whether the election subversion case against donald trump in georgia goes forward. it has to do with fulton county district attorney fani willis and whether she has been truthful about when her relationship with a leap prosecutor began yesterday, a key witness said he simply did not know exactly what it began cnn zachary cohen is with us this morning. what's the impact of that? because everyone was waiting to hear whether this man was going to testify that he had some inside scoop, but didn't come to pass >> yeah. john, the defense attorneys tried to get fani willis disqualified, were visibly frustrated yesterday as they questioned the witness that they billed as the person who was going to essentially testify that fani willis and nathan wade were lying about when their romantic relationship started? that's a key part of this argument they're making as to why fani willis should be disqualified. they're trying to prove there was some sort of a conflict there, but there's a very different story yesterday when terrence bradley got on the stand, he had amnesia. basically, he couldn't remember any details about when the
5:24 am
relationship started. he couldn't remember any details about specific communications that he had any even said that in text messages he exchanged with one of them one of the defense attorneys he was speculating what he said that the relationship started earlier than nathan wade and fani willis said it did take a listen to this exchange between bradley and trump's lead attorney, steve sadow, where he really pins them down on this speculating and you really hear the frustration in his voice. >> why would you speculate when she was asking you a direct question about when the relationship started? >> i have no answer for that >> except the fact that you do in fact know when it started and you don't want to testify to that in court. that's the best explanation so this would seem to undercut the effort to disqualify willis, obviously, bradley, not the witness. the defense attorneys thought he would be, but he did admit text messages into evidence that do show these this exchange with one of the attorneys on the
5:25 am
defense side that could be a public consideration from judge mcafee as he's ultimately going to have to make a decision the next step in this process comes on friday when both sides are going to get to make their closing arguments, they can also raise the idea that some additional evidence should be admitted. and we're going to see what mcafee decides on that front. he's left the door open to potentially reopen evidence in this case if warranted, and if it hasn't material impact on his decision-making, but he's not likely but a row from the bench on friday, so we're still a week or two away, probably from a decision on whether or not fani willis is going remain on this case. >> but friday will be a big day and we will see those arguments on camera as we have seen so much of these proceedings are zach cohen great to see you. thank you very much. >> so new this morning, smoking marijuana, even if prescribed by your dr. new information that it could hurt your heart? hell i am not guilty. >> i am resigning administration officials destroyed my cover

5:31 am
lot of voters, and certainly a lot of democratic mayors of big cities who have been dealing with this crisis of the huge influx of migrants since about the spring of 2022. and so now, mayor adams, who has been calling the migrant influx into new york city a crisis for more than a year. now, the city is now sheltering some 65,000 migrants in shelters, many, many more have already been through this system. but now he's responded there's growing concerns about crimes. were migrants have been accused, for instance, a high-profile shooting in times square were a tourist was hit and 15 year-old venezuelan migrant is accused of that crime. so this is why he's, he's publicly now endorsing for the first time a shift in the cities sanctuary policy that could mean oren cooperation. so for instance, someone who was accused of a crime could be handed over to immigrations and customs enforcement officials, otherwise known as ice. here's what he had to say about this at a press conference yesterday i don't believe people who are violent in our city and commit
5:32 am
>> repeated crimes should have the privilege of being in our city. there's some people that feels that they should be able to remain here, keep doing the actions, and to the eventually convicted. i don't subscribe to that theory >> so you heard that language or that language until they're eventually convicted. that's one of the things that's causing concerns among immigration advocates. and also just general people concerned about civil rights because of the lack of due process there. he said at a town hall just the day earlier on monday, mayor adams said the overwhelming now number of migrants are coming to the city. they want to work. there are law abiding. but he said we need to modify the sanctuary city law that if you commit a felony, a violent act, we should be able to turn you over the eyes and have you deported. but again, the concern is that only being accused, not convicted of a crime is going to lead to a lot of trouble in the community of migrants and i should note that this is, you know, he's also trying to respond to this problem that democrats have been facing both in congress,
5:33 am
in big cities, as i mentioned. and of course, the biden white house, because immigration is so important to so many voters, we've seen that in recent special elections and we know that for president biden is the issue upon which he scores the lowest when it comes to approval ratings. so this is there's probably another headache for them, but we should mention that mayor adams has not specifically outlined exactly what changes humans to make and hold need the cooperation from a majority of new york city council to make any changes. it doesn't look like he's likely to get that anytime soon, but still very interesting to hear him speak this way. >> sorry. athena jones. thank you for explaining it all so well, appreciate it. >> and joining us now to talk much more about this, is democratic congressman from new york. greg makes he's the top democrat on the house foreign affairs committee congressman, thank you so much for being here. let's start with what eric adams says. he's trying to do here in new york city. what do you think of his move? >> well, i couldn't understand the frustration of the mayor especially when you talk about individuals that are being bussed here out of texas i do
5:34 am
believe in due process. i think that you also know that sometimes people are accused of a crime who have not committed the crime. and so therefore, i do believe that need to be due process and individual wants they are convicted of a crime, then they should be removed but i do believe that the due process is important and necessary act to happen. buffers because i've heard oh, that must have been a migrant. he did it and then you find out that it has not had taken place so due process should be in place. understand the frustration of the number of individuals who are being sent to new york or who should not be sent to new york particularly from the state of texas. you not just came back from the border? i went to arizona. i wanted to see what governor hobbs did versus what governance abbott doesn't texas. and i found a profound difference in that regard, particularly as individuals are sent to new york, one with his
5:35 am
cooperation, a notification working with other ngos as what's happening in arizona with governor hobbs others make sure there's no co-op ration. make sure that the new york does not know, just send them in the middle of the night. so to me, one system seems to want to really do something that is effective. and as humane. and the other is just playing politics are trying to make an issue offer, arching all of this. >> and in some of what is the point of mayor adams? is that something's got to give and that you could also say just broadly for the border crisis that you went to see an arizona and in texas. and what is being debated amongst amongst you all in congress right now. i mean, we heard that there's a big meeting at the white house between the top for the top four liters with president biden, speaker johnson came out yesterday and said that border security is priority number one. >> we hear >> you have talked about that this is an issue that his priority for you all as well.
5:36 am
>> he makes the case once >> again, just yesterday that he thinks and he wants president biden to take executive action. do you think that is the case? that is the solution while you all cannot seem to agree on where to move, i think that it is ridiculous for speaker johnson to say just that when we know that we've seen presidents, president trump and president biden when they tucking, take it executive order that generally it ends up in the court. and we should not be avoiding the responsibility that we have as members of congress. and we've seen in a bipartisan manner in the senate, where there was a bill that was put forward by senator sinema and lankford and murphy. and when i talked to the border patrol, when was an arizona they all said that it very much would help. and, when i talked to the people of arizona who seemed to go back to the mccain days and talk about how he was working with immigration a different form. but what
5:37 am
johnson is doing and the maga republicans that are there. and i say even the so-called moderates because then that standing up to say, let's do something things that are trying to come together to put some 200 tried to come together to try to. >> do you do >> you accept at this point just looking purely at the politics that nothing is going to happen with border security until after the election. >> well, do you think that's even though >> you're going to say kate, i don't want that to happen. we need do our jobs, >> but i bought it appears if johnson allows donald trump to say, don't do anything on the border, don't do anything to fix immigration to after the election. and he adheres to that, then nothing will happen, which is why i say my colleagues, who are republicans, but say that they're not maga, need to join with us. and let's fix this. we can fix this for the benefit of our country if we do it
5:38 am
together. i mean, democrats showed that we're ready to move and we have moved though we need them. >> and i think any way that you haven't in the past i've seen. so what i'm going to lean on, your ranking, it with foreign affairs because president biden this week, he he caught israeli officials by surprise. he caught them off guard. that is what our reporting is when he said that he was hopeful by this coming monday that there will be a ceasefire agreed to in the war between israel and hamas do you realistically share that optimism? >> i know how hard the biden administration is working to make that happen. there's two parties though, when you try to make this happen it's israel and hamas. >> so that's why i think i asked you if you share the optimism, it's not saying that people aren't trying, >> but again, when i talked to, you know, i was recently at the munich security council and i've had opportunity to talk to king abdullah of jordan. i've had an opportunity to
5:39 am
talk to the foreign minister of saudi arabia. i talked to the foreign minister of qatar. they are actively working very hard and they feel that it is extremely important that we do get something done between now and before even ramadan, which is just a few weeks away. and so my concern right now from what i've heard recently in my bread, you know, some of the reports that you've had, but the reports that i get back is that hamas has disagreed on a ceasefire. and so therefore, we've got to have both sides on it. so yes, i want the biden administration and i know that they're working very hard i know sometimes what comes out of prime minister netanyahu's mouth does not help at all. but i know that we've got to stick to it because i don't think that we want greater war in the middle east. we don't have any other alternative, but the continued to move hard and i thank the administration for doing what it's doing. >> that's why it's tough for people to be optimistic that
5:40 am
it's going to happen by monday. we're at a time, but i do want to ask you on the heels of this michigan primary, this is a huge issue. this was a huge issue for democrats more than 100,000 voting uncommitted, that is significantly more than we have seen in the past and in michigan primary, does that make you nervous for president biden know, i think that it is still early. i think that the people don't know. i wish folks knew what i know when i know how hard he's working behind the scenes diplomacy is hard and just having the status quo, just having a ceasefire and going back to what was is not good enough for president biden. what president biden wants to do is to have a different middle east where you have a two-state solution, where the people of israel can live in peace and the people the palestinians can live in peace and have their own governing boards. that's not easy. it doesn't happen overnight. it takes hard work and i think that that's what he's trying to accomplish. i think that's what the people of mexican really want. they want, they don't want he patient in
5:41 am
gaza. they want to have an independent state side-by-side. that's hard work is not a quick fix, and that's what the biden administration is not trying to just do a quick fix. they tried to make a saying that will benefit both the people of palestine, the people, the palestinians as well as the israelis. >> congressman greg meeks. thank you so much for coming in today. it's always great. thanks for taking the questions. thank you for having me jump >> we have new reporting just into cnn, how the us government tracks down hundreds of millions of dollars in stolen money using artificial intelligence hunter biden, due to arrive on capitol hill any minute after month and so back-and-forth, highly anticipated testimony to republicans trying to impeach his father frank sinatra had connections with the mafia and all these nightclubs were >> owned by the mob. >> you didn't want to make those guys that he was too

>> a new study is raising some warning signs now about marijuana use and the risk of heart attack and stroke key here is that there's a significantly higher risk even if a person has no existing heart condition and the study's lead author also notes that cannabis smoke is not at all, not all that different. from tobacco smoke, except for the psychoactive drug thc versus nicotine cnn's jacqueline howard has much more on this. jacqueline. >> tell us about this. what are the researchers really finding here? >> it is really interesting what the researchers did. they looked at data on adults, those who use cannabis, those who use it daily, and those who do not use it, and what they found is that daily cannabis use is associated with a 42% increased risk of stroke and 25% increase least risk of heart attack. so these are the heart health risks that we're talking about here. now this is just an
5:49 am
association, not causation, but these findings do parallel. what's been seen before, looking at heart disease and heart health risks and marijuana use. and it's also interesting that this study seemed it's to point out data that's especially important for people who might have a history of heart attack and stroke. and they use cannabis. so these findings just again, kind of confirm what's been found before about the impact that daily cannabis use can have on your heart health and using more frequently, how more frequent use can really impact your ralph as well >> and clarify for everyone, is this only smoking marijuana? is this vaping? what does this mean in terms of edibles? and is there an, is there a demographic that is most impacted with this? >> yeah. so really this is for the general public, older adults, younger adults, this association was found and i thought it was interesting that the findings were as similar as far as risks for men under the
5:50 am
age of 55 and women under the age of 65. so again, this is no matter your for age group. and we are talking about smoking and vaping and it is interesting how the researchers specifically pointed out that smoke itself, whether you're smoking cannabis or tobacco, can really have these impacts. that oftentimes, we think about the impact on your lungs, but it can have impacts on your heart health as well. >> all right. jacqueline howard, thanks so much for pulling it together for us. appreciate it, john. >> all right. kate, new health concerns surrounding pope francis after he was taken to the hospital new information in this morning we're here to get your side of the store. >> why do we keep ending up here? >> you can't write this stuff >> united states of scandal with jake tapper on sunday, a

5:56 am
armenian bishops followed by a general audience, where he spoke briefly and said, i have a slight cold and i'm going to let my colleague deliver him my address for me. and what we've seen is that of late. he does seem to be under the weather on saturday. all his public appearances were canceled. then on sunday he did hold the usual angeles prayer from the apostolic apartment overlooking st. peter's square. but then on monday, once again, the vatican announced that all his appointments, or rather audiences had been canceled because of flu-like symptoms. but then again today, he did appear and it doesn't appear that he's going to he's canceling anything for the rest of the week. in fact, after the news came out and that the pope had gone for this brief visit
