that's what the film started as it was going to follow the story of a whistleblower of somebody who is going to a redemption, somebody who is part of the novichok creation and upgrading and research and development system of russia. then suddenly he, he gets a conscience and he realizes that this swept is that he's these chemical weapons cuz helping design are not really used for terrorist that he was led to believe against terrorist. they're actually used against peace compatriots and people who are just speaking up. and he decided to speak up to us and we helped him escape russia. that was how the film star that. and then as we followed his fete, destiny, yeah. then one of the victims of the poisoning with novichok went back to russia and was arrested. that was why the mere karamazov, who has been in jail since since the war started. and we focused on them as well. and then suddenly in the middle of it filming these, these destinies something happened that showed us that i'm also a victim and then the director of

pivoted to me. >> well, it is an incredible film. i hope everyone will watch it. it premieres this week. >> and thanks for joining us. the news continues now, right here on cnn it's tuesday, june 4, right now on cnn this morning, president biden about to roll out a sweeping executive order to turn back asylum seekers at the southern border. >> we've got details plus opening arguments set to begin in just a few hours and the federal gun trial of hunter for biden and the white house, pressuring israel to end the war in gaza, a move that might cost prime minister benjamin netanyahu his jaw all right? and 5:00 a.m. here in washington alive. look at capitol hill in this tuesday morning, everyone in cases it's wonderful to have you with us. >> congress couldn't get it done. so today, biden,

president biden is expected to take action on the border crisis on his own. cnn has learned that the president plans to announce an executive order that will effectively shut down the us, mexico border. to asylum seekers crossing illegally. when the daily threshold of crossings is exceeded the executive order relies on a regulation that was enforced under the trump administration at that time, it was widely denounced by democrats this does mark a significant attempt by the president to address head-on. what is one of his biggest, if not his biggest political vulnerability? >> just weeks before his first debate with donald trump, that is set for right here on cnn axios reports this morning that biden is expected to announce and sign the order today at the white house. >> she'll be joined by south texas mayors. i am joined by one of the coauthors that report axios political reporters, steph. steph. good morning to you. wonderful to have you let's dig into what we know about this. >> this number, 2,500 is a key

piece of this, and it's different actually from the bill well, that democrats had supported in congress that they were trying to get across the finish line. what's the difference here the difference here is that they're focusing on just the number of people crossing the border illegally. >> that's what that 2,500 threshold is targeting. the bill. before that, we saw that was the bipartisan border deal focus on a larger number but it also included people who are arriving at legal ports of entry, but who maybe didn't otherwise have permission to enter the us. so it's just a little bit of a shift from what the focus is in this executive order. it's really focusing on people who are coming across the border illegally. but beyond that, it really effectively works about the same way as that bipartisan border deal, except it doesn't come with the resources that only congress can give the white house and the department of homeland security, which could make it harder for the administration to actually put this in effect. >> what does the timing tell the tell you about, about their

thinking here? >> yeah, the timing is very interesting we know that they have been very seriously considering this move for months now, i've been hearing from sources for a very long time. this was something that biden was considering feeling like they needed to come out stronger and tougher on this border issue. it's been a clear vulnerability for biden from republicans basically since day one and his administration. >> and there are few things to note about the timing. >> one being that this obviously comes before the debate. so biden will be able to talk about his action on the border at something we know trump is going to want to talk about. it comes before the democratic convention. any internal party disputes over this move, hopefully we will have calmed down before then. it also comes after mexico's elections and it comes after chuck schumer was able to force republicans two again, killed that bipartisan border deal on the floor, again, allowing democrats to try to pin this on when republicans, right and try as they might though, this does represent a significant

political challenge for democrats who are up for reelection in difficult states and they're not planning on showing up today. >> and i think we can put up the picture of some of these folks who are not gonna be there. they are the senators from montana, wisconsin, nevada, pennsylvania. these are places where they have uphill climbs here i think it tells you something about the politics. >> yeah, absolutely. and of course, you can't look at this move and not see it as a political move and addition to trying to address a serious problem biden is trying to provide himself cover from border attacks and he's likely trying to provide some of these vulnerable democrats cover as well, allowing them to say that they support these new restrictions on the border that biden is doing something to address the problem. so i think it's notable that none of these very vulnerable democrats are accepting this offer from the white house to come join biden at the white house as he unveils what is really one of his, if not the biggest border move biden has made to date.

>> let's watch a little bit of what the house speaker mike johnson sun had to say on this recently on fox on sunday, watch is too little too late. now he's trying to desperately show the american people somehow that he wants to address the issue that he himself created, now he wants to issue some sort of executive order, i guess to show that oh, no, he he really does care about the issue. the only reason he's doing that is because the polls say that it's the biggest issue in america. >> and we can of course put up also the gallup poll that it's unclear if the house speaker was referring specifically to this poll with the gallup poll that shows that immigration is what americans tell gallup anyway, is the most important issue here. so i mean, how if you're the white house, how do you strike a balance between putting this out there and also just trying to avoid making the national conversation about this issue i think this is the debate that the white house has been having internally for a very long time. >> they're very nervous about this issue. i've reported by and doesn't like talking about the border. this is not

something he likes to draw attention to, but it's clear that they've been looking at the polls and they know that this is something that they have to address. golf isn't the only poll we see polls repeatedly showing that americans care about immigration and also that they are more open to harsher restrictions. the harsher moves, especially when it comes to illegal border crossers. at the us-mexico border. so this is clearly i'm reading the signs and recognizing that they need to do something on this they also know that we're going to be seeing in the senate at least a quick pivot to abortion and reproductive rights as we near that, the two-year anniversary of the fall of roe v. wade. and i do think we're gonna see them ministration try to address the border and then move on to their the issues that they are more confident in. >> and of course, we shouldn't forget to note, this is not going to sit terribly well with progressives. we've already seen alexandria ocasio-cortez tweeting about this, saying democrats shouldn't be like trump, but here we are. our staff curry. thank you very much for times. thank you. i really appreciate it. i couldn't up next here, the man who led the brexit charge in the uk, making a surprise

elected to parliament seven times well, i'm really calling for what i intend to lead is a political revolt. yes, a revolt a turning of our backs on the political status quo. it doesn't work nothing in this country works anymore all right cnn's max foster joins us live from london at max. >> good morning. so what is really going on here? because this doesn't seem to spell good. news for the prime minister know, it can be worst news is probably the biggest thing that's happened in this campaign. >> so far so you've got rishi sunak's ruling conservative party some of those members have moved to reform nigel farage is seen as the big threat because he's offering all the right policies his main focus is immigration, so his aim is zero net immigration. so

the amount of people leaving the country is the same as the amount people coming into the country. and he's a very charismatic, appealing figure, too many people to the right of politics, not even on the hard right, because he's not as extremely as you'd see in other parts of europe. he couple of weeks ago said he wouldn't be running. then he went fishing, apparently went on a walk and decided that he would run. he said he wanted to focus on the us election because he's obviously close to donald trump as well. but he is going to run and it's a big threat because it's going to take away from the conservative vote and as rishi sunak has said, a vote for nigel farage is actually a vote. the labor, the left party because it'll take votes away from the conservative party has point is basically you're either going to have keir starmer as a prime minister or rishi sunak, if you vote for the reform party effectively, putting keir starmer in downing street by splitting up that support on the conservative side. very interesting at max, can we dig in for a second, two for rogers

relationship with donald trump over here in the us. here was donald trump talking in an interview with farage? i mean, this has sort of been the role he's been playing up until now when he of course, abruptly switch. let's watch i believe the united states was paying 90% of nato the cost of matter that could be 100% yeah, it was the most unfair. and don't forget. it's more important to them than it is as we have an ocean in-between some problems, okay. we have a nice big unit of a lotion a nice big, beautiful ocean how does this particular issue at play into the uk election it's a mystery because when he said he wasn't going to run, he said he wanted to focus on the us elections. >> so some cynics about nigel farage just suggesting it didn't get an upcoming post from donald trump or promise and donald trump, if he got into power, which is why i decided to run in the uk, we don't really know the exact reason why decided to run the

uk. it could just be that he figured the reform party could do well and could finally get a seat after all those efforts that you were i talking about, but there's been rumors for years that he wanted to become a us ambassador effectively to the uk. i don't know if there's any truth to that, but something might have changed in terms of what he was getting from donald trump. he certainly very close to donald trump ideologically. they spoken to each other a lot. and i think that donald trump does take advice from nigel farage on certain parts of his campaign, or at least it did last time he was heading to the white house. so we're not quite sure what happened behind the scenes, but some cynics are suggesting he didn't get what he wanted from trump, which is why he's running here never dull moment, max foster. >> thank you very much for your time this morning. i really appreciate it all right. >> coming up here japanese regulators raid toyotas headquartered first to be auto giant manipulates safety data, loss doctor fauci under attack

population densities as well, minneapolis to moines, south into kansas city, and then take note just south of oklahoma city into dallas and jackson. this is an area we're monitoring with some severe thunderstorms that are moving just to the south and east of oklahoma city. in fact, there is a severe thunderstorm watch across both southeastern oklahoma until about 5:00 a.m. local time because of this band of showers and thunderstorms and it's not just strong gusty winds frequent lightning and some hail that's come out of these storms. heavy rainfall. in fact, one to three inches, radar indicated flash flood warnings just south south of oklahoma city, including more. that's valid for the next 20 minutes or so. and a few other warnings to the south and east of that as well with this band of showers and storms. so here's the rough weather time i mean it out about 4:00 p.m. across the minneapolis saint paul region. and then we focus our attention on another flare-up of showers and storms across the deep south. that's why we have that slight risk, including dallas and points northward. we're going to focus our attention on the severe weather here. but this is all building across this collision

selection, st. quote, as the president, i don't and won't comment on pending federal cases. but as a dad, i have boundless love for for my son, confidence in him, and respect for his strength. the president's allies on capitol hill noting the difference between this case and donald trump's the hunter biden's not running for president. donald trump's running for president. but look, that's the perfect example. democrats were not out there saying that hunter biden's trial is a far sits of fraud. it's rigueur. we're not attacking the justice system all right, joining me now from wilmington, delaware is axios national politics reporter, excuse me. >> alex thompson. alex, good morning. it's wonderful to have you joining us because you were inside i had the courtroom yesterday, and of course, you can't help but miss that this trial is taking place while biden's campaign staffers going to work very nearby in the same city, but bring us inside the room. what was jury

selection like? what was it like to see a hunter biden in that courtroom? >> yeah. there are a few really striking things. one is the contrast with just a year ago. >> now in the same courtroom, it's where the plea deal that almost resolve this all a year ago took place and back then, hunter came solo. essentially, this time he was surrounded by family and friends. you obviously had the first lady you had his son-in-law, heater, neil, you add his sister, ashley, you add his wife, melissa. you had friends including even a documentary filmmaker that's been following him around the last, the last two years. the other thing with jury selection, the thing that really stood out to me that you just mentioned before is the sheer number of people that mentioned that they had a loved one or friend, a family member, who had suffered from addiction in some cases, people had personally had problems to alcohol. i haven't done the exact numbers, but i believe almost every single juror had said yes to that potential

juror question. and part of the reason for that is because delaware is sort of ground zero for some of these, especially the opioid crisis it was just really striking that when you're talking about a case that's really going to delve into what is an addict. when does someone stopped being an addict win? in terms of hunter biden at this time was in and out of rehab? you're going to have an audience that is going to have intimate understanding of that system it's really fascinating because again, for those who haven't been paying super close attention to this trial before it started, the question at hand is whether or not a hunter biden effect essentially lied on a form that allowed him to buy a gun by saying he was not addicted to drugs at the time and you report in axios, quote, hunters, a hunter biden's lawyers have signaled they will contest that he knew he was an addict at the time. >> given he had just finished a short stint in a rehab program

and they will allege potential tampering with the gun form that he signed how confident do they feel about trying to argue this, considering that there also is a lot of public material hill about his addiction challenges that he put out there into the public record himself and his book and elsewhere absolutely. >> no. and no lawyer is going to go in there and say, we don't think we're going to win so abby lows, which is juncture biden's high power attorney is expressed confidence and you could tell by the jury questions that he was really focused on. well, if hunter biden believed he had beaten his addiction at the time he signed the gun form that is going to be a key timing note. now, part of the problem is that as you noted, that there is a lot of evidence to the contrary of him basically going in and out of rehab. and unfortunately for the entire

biden family you know, a lot of witnesses, they're going to call it in. our family members. you are going to see hallie biden the present, and also kathleen buhle. now those are a hundreds ex-wife and his ex partner both our daughters and lodge to the bidens, you also probably going to see lunden roberts, they arkansas woman who had a child with and was in a relationship with at the time and the reason they're being called is to confirm that he was infrequently sharrock use at this time. so it's going to become incredibly messy and it's going to be a family melodrama. and that's really the real effect on this cases because, you know, the president is probably going to be affected in his mood by all these revelations. right, alex, i mean, the new york times actually reports this, quote, president biden wakes up every day to a list of concerns he must address this commander in chief. but at the top of that list, people who know him say is a concern that nags him as a father. the legal problems of

his son, hunter biden, and we can also show everyone this is president biden back in may of 2023. and of course, these travails have gone on you referenced the plea deal that fell apart. we're kind of in that period of time when the president is making these comments. but here's what he said about his son first of all, my son's done nothing wrong i trust him. i have faith in him. and impacts my presidency by making me feel proud so that of course, alex is his direct way of talking about his son and what his son means, but expand a little bit on what you mean in terms of how this is going to weigh on i mean, he is not just president of the united states. >> he's also a candidate for reelection less than six months out from that election day, less, you just a couple of weeks away from his first debate with donald trump in this election cycle yeah, and this would affect any father,

but i think one thing about this relationship that joe biden has the sun that you have to sort of understand is that hunter biden is the last in-person from the accident that killed his wife and daughter 1972 beau biden had also survived that, but then he died in 2015 and joe biden is taken this calling hunter, my only surviving son, so it's a little bit of an extra hoof and, you know, him holding onto his son. >> the other thing that you have to understand as joe biden is expressed, guilt for hunter being in this situation because he feels that if he had not run for president, hunter would not be facing these legal challenges which carry a significant amount of jail time if he's found guilty. now, you have to look at the timeline at this case when a hunter biden was in that of rehabs addicted to crack cocaine, was buying a gun. this was october of 2018. this is when joe biden was planning to get in the presidential race. joe biden enters presidential race just a

few months later when hunter is sort of in this spiral. and so you have to understand her, say, understand the context of when these events occur. heard in the political time fine, which is why ways so heavily on joe biden really, really interesting. >> i, alex thompson far as alex, very grateful for your time this morning. hope you come back all right. now this and just a few hours, attorney general merrick garland heads to capitol hill for what we expect to be a tense, hours-long hearing. before the house judiciary committee. according to prepared remarks shared with cnn, garland is ready to take on republican attacks that the doj has been politicized and weaponized on his watch, garlin writing quote, i will not be intimidated and the justice department will not be intimidated. we will continue to do our jobs free from political influence we will not back down from defending our democracy der me now to discuss is furnish him areas she's congressional reporter for the associated press, furnished. good morning to you. good morning this is a very high-stakes moment for the attorney general.

>> he also has been more aggressive in recent weeks in taking these steps out, trying to defend the department after quit frankly, the early years of the biden administration, he there was a lot of public rumbling necessarily about him, but privately, there were democrats that were unhappy with how he seemed to be unwilling to engage in this sort of a fight in the interest of trying to protect the justice apartment. it does seem to me like he's changed strategies are here. he definitely change strategies, obviously in the early years there was a lot of criticism from democrats that's like you said, but more specifically on not taking action against former president donald trump earlier there's a lot of anxiety about how long it took to bring the january 6 case obviously, similarly with the classified documents. but merrick garland was doing that in his view, all in a manner that he felt was accurate and took his time because he knew of the stakes that it would take to charge. and to bring a case to have a special counsel's bring a case against

the former president. what you're seeing now is a direct response to what has been months of threats of contempt, which eventually ended up contempt, moving out of the same committee that he's going to be appearing before today? speaker mike johnson said that contempt will come to the floor very soon. i mean, when that will be the votes are still unclear if republicans have the votes to hold the attorney general contempt of congress. it is not a thing that many people do lightly. he would be only the third attorney general and cabinet official in the last decade to be held in contempt. but a lot of this is in direct response to the threats that he says is not only facing him and his family, but so many of the people that work under him in the justice department right? right. rights movement where we've seen really kind of explode as the rhetoric has grown more and more heated. let's talk for a little bit about what happened yesterday on the hill with a dark hearing, the doctor fauci attended. he of course, started out a national hero to all at

the beginning of the covid, pandemic and has morphed into a villain for half the country. it seems marjorie taylor greene probably embodied the far right of that in the course of this hearing and had to be sort of reprimanded and instructed to stop calling fauci mr. fauci, because she was refusing to do it. he is, of course. dr. fauci, let's watch that exchange do you represent science, mr. fauci? >> yes or no? no. that's not a yes or no yes. it's a yes this is science what is dogs have to do with anything that we're talking about today are scientific experiments you're not dr. your, mr. fauci and my few minutes, he belongs in suspend. i've instructed her to address them as doctor not doctor, we should be writing a criminal referral because you should be prosecuted for crimes against humanity. >> you belong in prison dr. fauci all right. so first of

all, props to that c-span camera operator right there for that little whip around that was required to cover this hearing accurately for new ssh this is i mean, this is what she this is what she does. marjorie taylor greene but it is instances like that things like that that have led to dr. fauci was up there talking about how and we were just saying that heirs of the justice department judges have been getting threats. he similarly has faced threats even in his retirement, has family he has faced threats this is a pretty remarkable statement about where we are. yeah. no, definitely. and again, i wanted to be very clear. i know to me that seems like formal pre-saved hearing, but not everyone. i still watch these types of hearings and i do not want to normalize any sort of behavior, but i mean, this is what you come to expect and we're going to see that this again in a few hours with the attorney general. but what dr. fauci mentioned over and over again. and at one point in

the hearing, he got emotional and had the turn off is mike was you know, this is become beyond him being coming over republican bogey man and a political prop for many people. but him, his wife and his three otters have been personally attacked. he has protective services with him at all times now, he has been retired for several years now. and first e. worked in the public life for so long and never received the vitriol that he has over the last several days and a lot of that is due to republicans spreading of ms of conspiracy theories about it. >> yeah. i mean, i think it's worth i mean, that kind of thing really does change your life. if you have to be followed by security, not everyone signs up for it yet, right. fauci signed up for it, but not as family hey. right. >> all right. for new mary thank. you very much for your today. i really appreciate it all right. just ahead here are the white house increasing pressure on israel's prime minister to end the violence in gaza, plus a 15-year-old about to make history by debuting on the pga tour central, today.

insist that we complete both that vowed to continue the war until hamas is destroyed, appears to be undermining a ceasefire proposal that netanyahu's own government put forward joining me now cnn political and national security analyst, david sanger. david, thank you so much for being here. and you write write this in the times about that call for four complete elimination of hamas. and you say that the call four total defeat of hamas sounds like a rationale for perpetual war. and in fact, israeli officials have publicly declared the war in gaza will likely continue to the end of the year if not longer, what are the dynamics here casey? >> good morning. and the dynamics are complex, but just think about this for a moment. it's very understandable, particularly after the horror of the october 7, attacks that israel would call for the

complete destruction of hamas. just as the united states called for the complete destruction of al-qaeda and wiping out the taliban, which supported it. after 911 but the practical reality of this is that you're not really sure that you can ever truly destroy a terror organization obviously, new elements come up. they may have different names. they certainly have some different people but you're not going to wipe out the hamas instinct fully, particularly in gaza so then the question is, do you go the route that president biden chose when he gave his speech last friday, which is to say hamas cannot again launch in october 7 style attack is not capable of it. so it's time for this war to end and move on to the next phase. to think of the day after of how you rebuild gaza, of what

governance there was. look like where do you pursue forever? the goal that you may never achieve a full destruction so david, what are the pressures on netanyahu internally and what are the stakes? >> i mean, is this a situation where he potentially has to choose between the ceasefire and his own political survival he may well, what these two right-wing parties that have been part of his coalition could well leave the government as they have threatened if he goes ahead with the plan that israel itself for israel's war cabinet, turned out. but it's fascinating, casey, that here you had the president of the united states come out and describe these rarely plan usually what would happen in most diplomatic situations is

that you wait for a another country to do, to announce its own plan and then you'd embrace it. >> and then together, israel and the united states and europeans and others who might embrace that as well, would then say, okay, the only one in the way of this right now well as hamas so what president biden did was tried to put simultaneous pressure on israel over its own plan, at least as described by the us. >> and on hamas knowing that prime minister netanyahu would never come out and described this plan by himself and david. >> what is the ultimate outlook for governing gaza in the wake of this? because i mean, i absolutely take your point about a terror organization and that seems at very understandable. the challenge seems to be hamas is also the government that's right. >> and you know, if we'll pulled out of gaza oh, you

know, 15 years ago and hamas then got elected and you can argue about the nature of the election. then after that time use that victory two, then basically have complete and somewhat totalitarian rule over the entire region or the region of gaza so now the question is, what's the alternative? >> we're all in agreement that no one wants to see hamas running gaza again that the israelis have rejected the idea of the palestinian authority, which can barely governance own territory is around in the west bank should be the one but here we are seven months later and the israelis have not come up with an idea about who it is that true and you have this post to be some magical group that appears somehow that is

more competent than the palestinian authority. but does not have the terror component of hamas. >> and we just don't know who that is. and in that absence, it's going to be the israelis or so we're hearing from the prime minister all right. david sanger for us this morning, david, so grateful to have you. >> thank you so much. >> great to be with you all right. >> time now for sports, the san diego padres player facing a potential lifetime ban for allegedly betting on baseball. carolyn maddow has this morning's bleach report, karatay. good morning. >> good morning. major league baseball are investigating shortstop and to goopy them are mercado over alligator patients that he wagered on games involving the pirates when he was with the team last season, the wall street journal was the first to report this story. he's 24-years-old. he's from venezuela. he has not played for the padres this season. he went down with a right acl injury last july when he was with the pirates. nice been recovering ever since, but according to the report, mark cano bet on pirates games only
