what is good to talk about in politics. what is good for politics and not, here's an interesting one, donald trump now wondering aloud about taylor swift is apparently coming from an excerpt from a forthcoming book about his work with with the producer of the apprentice. a conversation that took place as in november 2023, trump saying this about taylor swift. >> i think she's a liberal. >> she probably doesn't like trump, but she is liberal or is that just an act he asks, she she's legitimately liberal. it's not an act, it surprises me that a country star can be, can be successful, being liberal trump said before the author noted that's with crossover to pop music years ago, the crossover, she, she can, she can do whatever she wants. i would say is it good for politics to take on taylor swift i mean, this is this just goes into that bucket of weird and strange that we are seeing pop up almost every single day in this campaign. >> kate. but again, i think the more than donald trump focuses

and n is obsessed with somebody like taylor swift, the better it is for democrats because i think we do know that she's liberal. we do know that she probably will not vote for donald trump and she may even come out in and endorsed joe biden and kamala harris and the democrats before the november election, which i think would be the republicans and donald trump's biggest nightmare. and that's probably why he's injecting this question mark into this election for whatever reason, he might think helps him. but again, this just goes into the weirdness of what this campaign is. and it gives us the opportunity to talk about the weirdness of donald trump. and again, that does nothing to take away from his base but we know that his base will probably never leave him no matter what. but it does go into that category of moderates and common sense republicans that are going to think, wow, this man to just there's

something not right up there this man is not fit for office the biggest night for your nightmare for republicans and donald trump taylor swift, you heard it here. it's good to see you guys. thank you so much the next hours in a new central starts now a verdict could come this morning very shortly. >> the jury and the hunter biden's gun trial resumes deliberations. the murder rate in the us could be headed to its largest annual decline ever big drops in crime across the board. what the new data tells us, and the bombshells secret supreme court tapes chief justice john roberts samuel alito samuel alito's wife, the one with the flag's. she even talks about flags sara is out today. i'm john berman with kate bolduan in this this cnn new set standing by for another

historic verdict, very soon to 12 men and women weighing hunter biden's fate will resume deliberations after meeting for just over an hour? >> yes. but i and any minute we could see the president's son for the first time. >> today walking into the courthouse that is where he's expected to have to wait or nearby as the jurors decide whether to convict get him on three felony charges related to a 2018 gun purchase. >> hunter biden faces up to 25 years in prison if he is convicted on all three counts, it is however unlikely. we're told that he would serve that kind of jail time still standing by to standby to here exactly what this jury decides. cnn's marshall cohen outside the court four just once again, how is jury deliberations going to look this morning okay. >> good morning. it's 8:00 now. and the jury is expected back in one hour, 9:00 a.m. they got one hour of

deliberations in the books yesterday before breaking through the night. and they will resume this morning. now, the judge who has been overseeing this case she doesn't feel the need to bring the jurors into the actual courtroom at nine and wish them a good morning. they can go straight to the jury box and once they are all here here today, they can resume those deliberations on the three felony charges that hunter biden is facing for allegedly purchasing and possessing a gun while addicted to it is illegal drugs. now, i should note that, yes, there are three top line charges here, but underneath each one of those counts are a series of elements of each crime that the jurors need to deliberate and degree on unanimously for each element of each crime that's in this indictment. look, you mentioned it he is convicted on all three charges he could face prison time up to 25 years. that seems highly unlikely though, given the fact that he is a first-time offender. but as we sit here, for and wait for the

verdict, the fate of the president's son is in the hands of those 12 jurors from delaware six men and six women. there'll be back in about one hour to finish up marshall, we've seen the first lady going into court. we know that a hunter biden's other members of hunter biden's family have also been in the courtroom as any family does. and can to show their support for him. but that became part of the prosecutor's closing argument. why? >> yeah. it is, of course, common for defendants to have the support of their family it's pretty rare for those family members to have their own secret service agents following their every move. but they really beefed up the presence yesterday for the closing arguments. obviously, there was the first lady, jill biden president biden's sister, valerie, was their president biden's brother, james hunters, younger sister, ashley, they were all there in the pews. and the prosecutors noticed one of the very first things okay that the special

counsel, prosecutor leo wise, said in his closing arguments to the jury, was that they may recognize some faces in the gallery from the news. they america may recognize some of those vips from the community here in wilmington. but respectfully, none of that matters. that's what he's said. none of that matters. he wants them to focus on the evidence, which in the view of the prosecution is overwhelming. >> kate, jury begins liberation very soon. marcia, thank you. john wright with us now cnn senior data reporter, harry and harry were talking about the hunter biden trial what does the data show about what people think about this trial? >> well, in terms of how hunter biden has been treated. >> yeah. you know, there's this real thing. what hunter biden even be on trial if he wasn't the president's son, there are a lot of folks who are on hunter biden signed are and joe biden cited say they wouldn't even be brought. that's not necessarily the case. all right. according to the public legal systems treatment of hunter bye. now, this was after the criminal indictments of them, but before this most recent trial, look at is 66%

set of americans say that the legal system, treatment of hunter biden has been fair. in fact according to the polling, if anything, they think it's been not harsh enough on him. just 27% of americans think that the legal system has been unfair. so the fact is, most americans have no problem with hunter biden being on trial. his favorite bility ratings are quite low and it's something thank when you look at the polling, why the white house i think is genuinely worried because he's definitely in their minds potentially a liability for me, at least outside of joe biden and think that, well, the important thing to remember is that it's hunter biden? correct. who is on trial here, not president joe biden, but there is some data in terms of what the public thinks about the president in how he views are is i guess connected to his son. yeah. you know, sort of my leading question here. all right. hunter biden's legal troubles and joe biden, hunter hunters troubles are related to joe 46% related to juror, correct? i'm related to job. thank you. 46% say that is believable that they were unrelated to joe. that is the

plurality believe it is unrelated to joe biden, just 37% of americans believe that is not believe well, that's a good number for joe biden. how about this joe biden is a good dad by supporting his son, the clear majority, 54% say that that is believable, and this is, i think the polling that joe biden sort of two, is listening to saying, you know, what first off, i don't necessarily care about the public, but secondly, i think the public thinks i'd be a pretty good dad by supporting his son. yeah, he may not be looking at the polling all at all when it comes to his public statements about this trial or his son, he may just being a dead dead. >> what is the potential impact on the left? yeah. a very probably not much at all because the clear majority of folks believed that hunter biden's illegal troubles. >> they have no impact on their vote. yes, there's this 23% who say they're less likely to vote for joe biden. but you know who that is, 23% are there republicans who weren't going to vote for joe biden anyway? >> or 4%. >> therefore, who say it's more likely to vote for joe biden, but you can get for free percent of americans to basically say hard to see the logic there. all right, harriet

and great to see you much some police in china have now arrested a man. they say stabbed for americans in broad daylight video appears to show the victims on the ground clearly bloodied and chinese tourist was also interviewed that video though not seen on social media in china as it was swiftly censored after being published. the four americans injured are instructors from cornell college in cornell college in iowa, who were in northeast china as part of an exchange program, officials say they are all in stable condition, but it's unclear what motivated this attack seen as marc stewart is in the city where this attack happened, joining us now, what are you learning about this arrest mark ross has been made. >> kate police confirmed it just a short time ago. this is a 55-year-old mad and according greene to police, he said he was walking when he bumped into this group of four americans. these for educators. and then somehow this stabbing took

place that injured all four of them, as well as a chinese tourists who stepped into you're being. we just got back from the actual stabbing side. it's about 15 hike from where we are now and when we arrived, there was basically no evidence that anything ever happened. look like some of the blood on the ground had been washed away a contrast to what we saw yesterday when we sell these people on the ground, bloody, clearly, a need of help. i should point out that this park is very similar to a park you would see in any suburb in the united states. we've been here for just a few hours. there are hiking trails. there is a train, there is a temple, there is no reason, but it's a feel safe here. so obviously, a lot part of holes in the story. the blanks needs to be filled in. let's also look at the backdrop in china right now,

there is certainly arise in nationalism something that i hear in conversations with people that i have here in china. it's also apparent on social media, yet at the same time, we have chinese president xi jinping very anxious to welcome american students here as part of study abroad programs. in fact, when he was in the united states last fall, he mentioned bringing as many as 50,000 americans and just last week even made a personal reach out to an institution in the united states to have this kind of exchange. so it will be interesting to see if this incident has any kind of damper on things and finally, kate, you alluded to this at the beginning. no one here knew about what happened. for a good 48 hours as soon as this happened, social media posts were scrubbed. it wasn't until we heard from officials and iowa that this came to surface. in fact, just a few minutes ago, there were a group of people gathered around, someone cell phone trying to get the latest information that is the

environment, the surveillance state ms fear often that we see here in china, kate marc stewart. >> thank you so much for your legs reporting work. john wright, new statements this morning and the prospects of a ceasefire and hostage deal in gaza is their new reason for hope it is forecast to be one of the worst hurricanes seasons in some time now he worries that the government cannot afford it in a brazen porch. theft caught on video to be clear, the porch was not stolen. that's relief. what was on it was you. >> 19th cnn celebrate juneteenth, which special performances by john legend hadi lewbel, smokey robinson. >> we still have a lot of work to do juneteenth celebrating freedom and legacy wednesday, june 19 at ten on cnn greeting seven 730. >> yeah that's not good.

remote kid it's like your generation has evolved past traditional political symbols. and there's room for everyone. >> yeah chins puke rainbows, white taken this morning, secretary of state tony blinken is now in jordan for gathering of leaders focused on getting more humanitarian aid into gaza. >> earlier he was in israel where he met with prime minister benjamin netanyahu, blinken, telling reporters that there is a consensus among netanyahu and other leaders to move forward on a proposed ceasefire deal that was just approved by the un security council. cnn's oren liebermann is in tel aviv. how much consensus really is there that where do things stand okay. >> this appears to be more positive position than we've seen in quite some time now, when it comes to the efforts to reach a ceasefire and a hostage release between israel and hamas. secretary if they'd anthony blinken making a whirlwind trip through the region, first, he was in egypt at the start of the week than a series of meetings with israeli

leaders, the prime minister, the defense minister, the opposition leader the member of the war cabinet, who just resigned. and now he's in jordan and then we'll be going to cut her. so a lot of the key players needed to get not only the israelis on board and the biden administration is clearly confident that they have the israelis agreeing to the ceasefire proposal. but now to try to push hamas to agree to the ceasefire proposal that's on the table. there have been some positive noises coming from hamas, both in reaction to the un security council resolution calling for a permanent ceasefire, end to the proposal on the table. the question of course, is in the details and that remains to be seen because the process has fallen apart repeatedly on the details in the past, sill, blinken knows who he has to convince here and that's the head of hamas's military in gaza, the most powerful person in the organization, right now, yahya sinwar, he was a blinken said a short time ago there are those who have influenced, but influences one thing actually getting a decision made is the another thing i don't think anyone other than the hamas

leadership in gaza actually are the ones who can make make decisions that's what we're waiting now, the wall street journal was able to view messages written by yahya sinwar over the course of the negotiations and from the start of the war, and they give an interesting insight into his mindset and his person spective in one of these messages, the wall street journal viewed which cnn cannot verify sinwar says, we have the israelis, right where we want them. >> sinwar sit in a recent message two hamas officials i think the broker an agreement with qatari and egyptian officials on the big picture perspective on how many pills to palestinians have been killed here it is clear from these alleged messages that sinwar views this as something almost necessary to push forward the palestinian national cause. here's another quote from the wall street journal. in one message to hamas leaders in doha, sinwar cited civilian losses in national liberation conflicts in places such as algeria, where hundreds of thousands of

people died fighting for independence from france, saying these are necessary sacrifices. it's that mindset that blinken is trying to work towards agreeing to a ceasefire here. it's a key question. again, kate, we appear to be closer than we've been in quite some time now. and yet doesn't mean the process is over or complete at all. >> absolutely great reporting as always. thank you so much. john wright joining us now is aveyron my year the uncle of former hostage almog my ear, who was rescued over the weekend, sir. >> thank you so much for being with us while we have you. just give us an update that was elmo doing this morning at a mortgage generally. okay and these drawing to digest what happened with him in the last eight months. and specifically in the last three days you said when he was first released, what he wanted most was a hug

and ayesha warmer. >> how many hugs and chihuahuas has he had now over the last four days? >> lots of hogs, one shawwa bma but later that day, that's a good ratio. >> i'll take that ratio any day. what have you learned? what has he told you about his captivity we haven't had the opportunity to talk quietly together. but generally, in the last six months is spent time with two other hostages in the same place. >> within re kozlov and shlomi ziv and at that time, they were like a team. they are very good friends. they have their own nicknames. they have their own

terminology there were lots of time together and they really, really love one each other i heard no daylight kept in the dark for months. >> what can you tell us about that? >> i didn't understand. i question, please. >> one of the things i heard you say is that he was kept inside with no daylight more or less in the dark for four months yes. >> it's right there in the last six months, this is what i know. i don't know what happened in the first two months but in the last six months, the evan been allowed to leave the apartment. so they saw sound from the windows, but not the gimmick go out what gave him hope while he was in captivity, while he was being

held prisoner, hostage what i can tell you is that they were together and the empowered one each other all the time. and its friends where where is back? and e were their back and they supported one each other i can tell you that in the 11th of may is so television in al jazeera? and he saw the forum, the family four room in tel aviv rally and he saw a picture of the game in that rally so we understood that is not forgotten and people are thinking about him. but more than that, it didn't know too much your nephew has now been rescued, but there are many others who are still being held

hostage. >> what do you want to see from the israeli government? what do you want benjamin netanyahu to do? >> in our personal family the circle is closed and the log is here. and we are very happy. >> but there are still 120 families who is looking for their deer's and what we want newtoni all to do is to bring them by an agreement because we understand that operations like maga have been rescued, won't bring one other than 20 others so we want to press all the governments for the hamas and on the israeli government to sign this deal and to take out all the other hostages. back home. i have to tell you the joy of the people of israel

when they saw four oxygens came back, it was incredible. the joy is enormous and if, if the people of israel will see wondering people of a 120 other hostages that will come back home. it will be a tikkun, will be fixing israel will do anything to do everything. right? it will be lots of energy for us if they're just come back around my air, please, to your nephew, were all mog more hogs and many many more sju armas. thank you so much. and we are so happy for you and your family. appreciate you being with us secret recordings of supreme court justices, even a secret recording of justice alito's wife, what happened and what alito's wife is? >> now saying about flying more flags at her home and there are

had to say about that i want sacred garden cheeses because i had to look cross the lagoon at the pride flag for the next month. exactly. >> who's like, oh, please don't put up a flag. i can i won't do it because i'm deferring to you. but when you are free of this nonsense i'm putting it up and i'm going to send them message every day now, cnn has not obtained the full form of these recordings. >> we have also reached out to the supreme court for comment. cnn's senior supreme court analyst, joan biskupic, is with us martha alito talking about flags on tape yes. >> john, good to see you. and martha ends common certainly were provocative given the controversy over the flags that had flown at the alito home that appeared connected to the january 6, rioters and the stop the steal movement. but i want to focus on justice. alito and what he said at this event and also how much it echoes were

justice alito has been on religion just as a leader who has acted as if religion is under siege, he's, he's said that in public comments before. he said that in his written opinions and john, let's take a listen now to what justice alito said this woman as she was surreptitiously recording him at the event last week one side or the other there can be a way of workout, way of living together, please it's different because there are differences. >> one fundamental things is it really can't. it's not like you're going to see what the difference yeah, john. so again, just a little context on justice alito. remember he was the one who authored the dobbs ruling two years ago that reversed all constitutional rights to abortion. he has been very outspoken. against,

especially any kind of protection for lgbtq rights. he's been against gay marriage. he has been very strong on issues that have a lot of, as i said religious themes so that's the context here. and then after after he wrote the dobbs opinion, he even said in a speech at rome that religious liberty is under attack from people everywhere and especially people in power, which is somewhat ironic since he is in power, but he he did not respond to any of our requests for comment last night, but the supreme court historical society did. and let me just read what jim duff, who is head of the historical society, said. we condemn the surreptitious recording of justice's at the event, which is inconsistent with the entire spirit of the evening attendees are advised that discussion of current cases, cases decided by current sitting justices, or a justices jurisprudence is strictly prohibited and may result in forfeiture of membership in the society. but

for us, john, for those of us who live in america under the rulings of the supreme court. what's important here is do know that this month the justices are about to issue rulings and so many important opinions. and we'll need to we want to see how justice alito's attitudes emerge in those rulings that will now set the law of the land. john. >> and interesting to hear his voice and really how different his voice was than that of chief justice john roberts, who was also recorded. what he reported the had to say also fascinating job is keep a great to see this morning. thank you very much thank the historic drop in crime across the board. the brand new statistics just out and new hope in the fight against all timers, disease as the fda is poised to approve a new drug the most anticipated moment of this election, and the stakes couldn't be higher the president and the former president, one stage two, very different visions for america's future that cnn presidential debate thursday,

rapes decreased by nearly 26% aggravated assault is down. robberies or down, you look at property crimes, the same trend their burgers have dropped nearly 17%. motor vehicle thefts have decreased about 17%. so across the board and regions across the united how did it states they're seeing these drops based on this initial data i particularly want it focused in on murders. now, there's a caveat, obviously, this prelim preliminary, the year isn't up yet, but murder right now is down by 80% in places like boston, over 40% in cities like new orleans seattle, baltimore, and fill it dell fea, murder spiked about 30% during the pandemic, but then started to fall. i've been talking with crime data analysts who say that if these numbers now hold, we could see a potential historic drop here throughout the rest of this year. so as we look at this trend some, obviously some promising data when you look at prime across the country, john, look this is the type of data that i imagine

everyone, all of the evidence that we have so far is showing a basically a double decline relative to what it was last year at this point, last year, it was down about ten or 11%. >> now we're talking 19 or 20%. it's plausible that this will be by far the largest one-year decline in american history. >> so obviously one of the analysts, we were speaking with, and as you were saying they're john, i mean, we often focused on a lot of different facts and figures in life. nothing more personal than when we're talking about crime, whether it's crime that's impacting us, whether it's crime that is impacting members of our community. of course, we are hearing from people like the attorney general who are now speaking out touting these numbers the attorney general saying yesterday in a statement that this continued historic decline in homicides does not represent abstract statistics. it represents people whose lives were saved, people who are still here to see their children grow up to work toward fulfilling their dreams and to contribute to their communities unities. we also heard the president come out with similar statements. of course, this is

a topic that can always be improved when we talk about crime. and so this is not certainly not something to celebrate when there was work to be done, but when you look at that trend, particularly after the pandemic, when we saw so much violence is certainly moving in the right direction. and this is the type of trend that we've all been waiting for, you good to hear, good to see you. josh campbell. thank you very much for that democratic senator bob menendez will soon be returning to court where he is facing federal bribery charges. >> the prosecution's star witness will also then be back on the stand, which is new jersey businessman jose uribe. he delivered testimony yesterday about the senator, seen as jason carroll, following all of this, he's outside of the court. what's going to happen today? jason well, i think we're expected to hear more of what we heard yesterday, except the only difference is this time the defense gets its chance to question jose uribe yesterday. >> he provided a lot of detailed information about conversations he said he had

with senator menendez directly related to bribery. now remember you rebate as someone who wanted these criminal investigations in new jersey to go away? because they could have implicated people who he was very close to. he knew nadine menendez, he knew she needed a brand new car. and so he says he gave her $15,000 to buy a brand new mercedes in exchange for the senator's influence. he talked about a dinner, for example, august 2019 where he says, i get to ask him, him, meaning senator menendez, for the first time? explain what is worrying me so much. i asked him if there's anything in his power that he can do to stop these investigations. he says menendez answered he would look into it then september of 2019 he says he was at nadine menendez home. he says he wrote down the names of the people in question relate get to that investigation. he says he put it on a piece of paper, senator menendez folded it up and put it in his pocket. then october

29, 2019, he says he got a call all from senator menendez, and basically he told jurors that he felt as though that the situation had been settled and he choked up when he's talked about this, when he testified because he felt like it was all over finally, then at a dinner, kate and 2020, he says menendez told him, i saved your twice not one but twice now senator menendez, for his part, has pleaded not guilty. he says there were no ghraieb that took place here. he says he was simply acting on behalf of his concern so his attorneys get a chance to cross-examine jose uribe later this morning good to see you, jason. >> thank you so much john alright. >> new evidence that independent presidential candidate robert f. kennedy jr. is enjoying significant support in one crucial state cnn's even makin reports from wisconsin on a 17 acre tree farm in sackville, wisconsin, dells

stand braunton rides around the land with hope. the 2024 election will bring monumental change, shreve in 2020, i voted for trump, but now he says, the former president sounds like a broken record. >> it's all about the election was rigged and the court system is re this year, the wedding venue owner who plans to eventually transform his property into a wellness retreat is all in for independent presidential candidate robert f. kennedy jr. bobby's the first candidate who i've actually felt good about. >> i think a lot of people are very frustrated with voting for the lesser of two evils. is that how you view the major party candidates? yeah, absolutely a self-described conservative, independent stan braunton shares kennedy's vaccine skepticism and learned of him through kennedy's work with the anti-vaccine group, children's health defense the 62-year-old typically votes for

republicans, but he's attracted to kennedy's anti-establishment message, ending the form was the financial corrupt sure within our government agencies in the fact that we can't trust our government agencies to do their jobs because they've been hijacked by corporate interests. you don't think are government agencies can be trusted know why? because they're bought and paid for. >> i found a video rfk hey, junior on youtube, recent college grad katie zimmerman voted for president joe biden in 2020. but now she spends her saturday mornings tabling at farmers markets like this one in wahba tomasa for the kennedy campaign he's coming to all voters and saying like, if you vote for me, like you'll be able to afford buy a house. >> first is i haven't necessarily heard if biden say things like that, that appeal to me. >> if ultimately trump gets reelected how would you feel

about that? i would not feel really great about that if he was elected into office, but i i wouldn't necessarily feel any guilt because i was able to have a choice and who i wanted to vote for dog denticola is a long democrat who never thought he would find himself lobbying trump's supporters. to switched to kennedy. >> what do you think this has go to 24. >> go watch when he's going to do you haven't even given him a chance, because he doesn't ever what chance anyway, is it hard to convince trump's supporters to vote for kennedy? >> yeah, i actually just appreciate that he was willing to stop and talk to me, fed up with political polarization, denticola thinks kennedy can bring americans together and isn't worried about him taking votes from biden or trump i person like bobby kennedy, who is really a message of unity, a message for all people i think that's why he's going to

actually pull a lot of voters in both sides back on deal's farm. i shared desire for unity to address a deeply divided country. >> if we don't make some changes and find somebody who has played up solutions and somebody who we can trust who wants to bring us together we're going to be in a world of hurt and john kennedy's coalition of voters. >> they really span the political spectrum. polling data indicates the largest contingent could actually be those who didn't support either candidate in 2020. so he's bringing new voters into the fold. a lot of his support also comes from so-called double-haters. those holding an unfavorable view of both biden and trump, john, or even again, for us, fresh back from a trip to wisconsin, eva great to see you. thank you. >> so female helps people in communities pick up the pieces after disaster strikes. but now the federal agency is facing a disaster of its own. the new warning that theme is disaster relief fund could run out of money by the end of summer. and

can feel the wind the most anticipated moment of this election and the stakes couldn't be higher. >> the president and the former president's, once moderated by jake tapper and dana bash, the cnn presidential debate thursday, june 27th, nine live on cnn and streaming on max. and rafael romo, the georgia state capitol in atlanta. this is cnn so new this morning a panel of independent advisers to the fda gave their approval to eli lilly's experimental alzheimer's drug is still has to get full approval from the agency, but it has a lot of people excited. >> our chief medical correspondent, dr. sanjay gupta is year. what are we talking about here? sanjay? >> good morning, john yeah, potentially a big deal here there are no drugs to cure or to prevent alzheimer. so what we're talking about here are

medications that can slow the progression of symptoms once they start. and if this gets approved this would now be the second drug that could do that sort of thing. as you know, john, the fda advisory committee that's an independent committee. they make their recommendations. they recommended this be approved. the fda usually follows her guidance, not always, but this is certainly a good sign and that approval could come by the end of the year so for this particular study, they looked at 1,700 people, just over 1,700 people between the ages of 6085 and these were people who had mild cognitive impairment. so this was early part of their diagnosis, early part of their disease and they gave them this drug and what they found was that over time, over 76 weeks that about a 29% reduction in cognitive decline. >> so they got worse, more slowly. >> it's not that they reverse the disease. it's not that they stalled the disease. they got worse more slowly, about 29%. so that is the big number in terms of benefit. the committee

was paying attention to. on the flip side of that, let me tell you quickly, john, is the risks there are risks of these drugs specifically something known as aria, which stands for amyloid related imaging abnormality. you don't need to remember that, but basically it's these bleeds that can occur in the brain in response to the drug and what they found was about 37% of the people who are getting the medication compared to placebo, 14% did have evidence of these, these changes in the brain related to the amyloid. three people did die as well in that trial. so that was something that committee looked at very, very closely and still determined that the benefits outweigh the risks. john sanjay two very important questions. number one, how do you say the drugs named? because i can't make it out. i can't make sense of that in number two, how exactly does this one work yeah so the nonna mab and mab, which you hear at the end of a lot of these drugs, stands for monoclonal antibody. >> the other drug that i was talking about, lecanemab also a

monoclonal antibody and a lot of people know monoclonal antibodies. they learned about them during the pandemic. but you're essentially giving the antibodies as part of the drug let me show you this quick animation of how it works. you know, amyloid is this protein plaque that builds up in the brain. when you give these medications, it can basically disrupt some of the building blocks of those plaques not allowing them to form as well or clearing them after they've already formed so that's that's basically how these monoclonal antibody drugs work. and again, this might be the second one. what i tell you one interesting thing about this, this trial the ilo liliya suggesting that they follow the amount of amyloid that people have in their brain. and if the amyloid clears they suggest that maybe just stopping the drug it's a monthly infusion. but they say if the amyloid has gone no need to continue taking the drug when you typically think of the drugs, you think of them as lifelong for the rest of your life. maybe not the case here we'll see how the fda weighs in on that the nonna

map sounds like sesame street phenomena to me, which is how i'll remember from now on how many people are we talking about that this could benefit hard to remember yeah. >> so you got about in the country, got about 6 million people who have alzheimer disease carry the diagnosis, but about 1 million who fall into that early stage category. again, keep in mind someone goes in there now developing early symptoms, sometimes hard to diagnose but potentially 1 million people taking the medication, right now. that is the population. will see in the future if some of these medications get approved for people who are further along in their diagnosis while got moderate or severe now so many people take any any promising news when it comes to all timers. >> they wanted, they take it so seriously, dr. sanjay gupta, thanks so much for being with us. >> appreciate it. >> and this does then the official portrait of king charles has now been vandalized and there's video of it seen as max foster spring. i'm in

from london. max, what has happened? what is this? >> well, is a pressure group and they are against cruelty on farms so this is the very famous painting, of course it was famous because lots of people didn't like it, but lots of people did like it. is charles his first official portrait as king these, activists came along making the point that king charles is patron of the rspca, as it's called an animal welfare organization and they have a short farms scheme and the activists say, those farms still are cruel to animals. some of them, so they want to get rid of this assured scheme. so they're basically animal rights activists accusing the king of being hypocritical overseeing an organization which isn't protecting animal rights. so they created this cartoon characters all right, just saying this cruelty on farms. and they use the british characters cartoon characters, wallace and gromit for that. so it's making lots of headlines

this is the picture kate you'll remember it. lots of people describing it as some sort of hellscape or him bathing in blood. but it's become a very famous photo. it's become a really big thing on social media. so they're getting lots of attention for it. >> also. >> i mean, it is a bit an official portion of the case. i mean, there are people in this group gonna get in trouble from it for this. i mean, let's i think so because from what we can tell, there isn't glass along the front of it either, but it does look as though no paint was used, there's certainly some glue that was used. i think it's certainly going to be seized as an act of vandalism we've contacted the police, but it's only just happens. so i think that pretty early on in the investigation absolutely all right. max. thank you so much. i really appreciate it i knew our scene a new central starts now start the clock as all this minute. >> we believe the jury in the

hunter biden trial is back deliberating a verdict could come this morning breaking this morning, a suspect arrested for stabbing for americans in china the video censored on chinese social media. new questions this morning about what happened and why health experts expressing concern that a bird flu outbreak in the united states could become a much bigger problem there are a assignor is out today. i'm john berman with kate bolduan. this is cnn news central happening now alive, look at the federal court in wilmington, delaware, where everyone is waiting for work when the jury now they will be resuming deliberations in hunter biden's federal gun trial. >> they met for only about one our yesterday. so maybe they have hours of work ahead, but word could come any moment
