at the u. s army base, fort campbell have confirmed the crash of two blackhawk helicopters, and it's believed that the incident could be deadly. we're told the aircraft went down in nearby trigg county around 10 p.m. wednesday night local time these photos from the crash site just into us now they were obtained by wkd z radio. in kentucky. the helicopters were with the 101st airborne division , and we're told that they were doing routine training when the crash occurred as of now, the official status of the crew members is unknown, but in a tweet earlier from kentucky governor andy beshear, he said that fatalities are expected and asked for prayers for those affected. stay with cnn for the very latest will bring you any updates as they come in. it's been four days since three children and three adults were killed in a school shooting and for many in nashville, tennessee , and across america, that pain and recovery will last a long time. the mayor says that the

city's heart is broken and its residents are united in mourning . a huge crowd turned out for a vigil wednesday evening to remember those killed monday at the covenant school. by voice up into nashville, tennessee. no. he. walking with these families. walking with this family. what the word. night now. home sweet love. us first lady jill biden was also there. earlier in the day, she left flowers at a memorial for the victims. the visit holds special significance for biden, given her lifelong work as an educator, police

chief john drake told the crowd. his office is trained for situations like monday's attack, but they hoped it would never come. hearts are heavy. as we join all of nashville and mourning the deaths. of evelyn dycus. holly scruggs. william kenny. cynthia peak. mike hill. and katherine coons. we are grateful to the team of officers. who rushed into that school building. without hesitation. monday morning. to locate and stop the threat. before any more innocent victims were harmed. enforcement experts are praising the police response to the shooting, and one man who helped train the teachers at the covenant schools say that they deserve credit for saving lives. the whole story here is about

these teachers. people are talking about the training we did with them. and yes, training is important. but i wasn't here on monday. they were here right their ability to execute literally flawlessly under that amount of stress while somebody trying to murder them and their children, that is what made the difference here, and that is that, you know. these teachers are the reason those kids went home to their families. that man you just heard previously conducted active shooter training at the covenant school, and he said that all six victims were in open areas or hallways. the shooter also fired into several classrooms but didn't hit anyone more now from cnn's carlos suarez. the motive for why 28 year old audrey hale shot and killed six people at the covenant school is still unclear . nashville police chief john drake spoke to cnn about the investigation. what we know is the suspect actually went to that school, and as i said once before that there may be some

resentment, but we haven't been able to confirm that. the chief said. detectives are still going over a notebook that hail left behind with writings inside. authorities believe inhale, had weapons training and may have stopped somewhere between leaving home and arriving at the school. according to the chief, hale did not have problems at the school while a student the suspect was under doctor's care. for any emotional disorder of some type right now, we don't have any indication there was any problems at the school or at home. the chief said. detectives believe the parents did not know about the seven weapons hail legally owned parents felt like she should not own any weapons. she did have one weapon that they encouraged her to sell, which she did so they thought she didn't have any more and art instructor who taught hail for two semesters in 2017 at no see college of arts, told cnn. hale had an emotional outburst on the

first day of class during the creation of the past. where where it asks you for a non alpha numeric character, meaning a special character. she didn't know what it was asking for, and she got really flustered, and she just like turned, red started crying. maria colony said that was the only outburst hail ever exhibited in class. i just think that audrey had easier access to guns and rage than she did to compassion. or proper mental health care. we're also learning more details about the six victims. tennessee governor bill lee released a video statement saying his wife , maria, had a close relationship with one of the victims. cynthia peak, maria woke up this morning without one of her best friends, cindy peak . cindy and maria and catherine koontz. we're all teachers at the same school. and have been family friends for decades. however governor li said right

now is not the time to discuss and debate policy. there will be a time to talk about the legislation and the budget proposals that we brought forth even this year, and clearly there's more work to do. a city council member, tells cnn that the head of school 60 year old katherine coons, may have died protecting the children. the city officials said that a witness said that it was on a zoom call when the shooting began. and that coots left that call now, according to police, where could his body was found, leads them to believe that encounter the shooter. in the hallway. carlos suarez, cnn, nashville, tennessee. francis spent the night in hospital after having trouble breathing. on wednesday, the vatican says that he will stay there for a few days. catholics around the world, including in the pope's hometown of buenos aires, are praying for the quick recovery of the 86 year old pontiff. us.

president joe biden also wish the pope well and ask people to quote sent extra prayer for him. cnn's barbie. nadeau joins us now from rome, bobby, what more do we know about the pontus condition and how serious it might be? well, you know, the vatican has not said anything officially about his first night in the hospital, so we're expecting to maybe hear something a little bit later this morning. this is really important week coming up here in rome. it's holy week, starting with palm sunday this coming sunday, leading all the way up to easter sunday. now this is one of the most important times for the pope. he makes several appearances of you know that we don't know if he's going to be able to do that, if he's spending a couple of days, as they say in the hospital we understand he has a respiratory infection now put, francis was head of part of his lung removed when he was a young man in argentina. so of course that's worrying. a man 86 year old man , any of us would worry about a grandparent or older parents that age who has been in and out

of the hospital. he had colon surgery a couple of years ago. he's in a wheelchair because of difficulty with his knee, so he's not actually a very healthy person right now, but he has incredible stamina. he's been going around the world of apostolic trips. you know, he's so he's he was recently in africa. he's he, you know as a lot of energy when he's well, so a lot of people are optimistic that that energy will pull him through this and a lot of people are worried because of his age and health condition. bianca today live in rome. thanks so much wemonitoring that for us, t pes that the new york grand jury investigation into donald trump's role in alleged hush money scheme is not moving as quickly as some anticipated. cnn's kara scannell has the details. court administration sources tell cnn that the grand jury hearing testimony about donald trump's alleged role in the hush money payments is on a scheduled break beginning after april 5th. that is next wednesday. this grand jury is sitting for six months and had previously scheduled time off

for holidays in the new york city school break, court sources say. the grand jury is scheduled to meet thursday, monday and wednesday. this source says that they are not currently expected to hear that trump case in this grand jury process. a secret, and the district attorney alvin bragg, could at any point, reconvene the grand jury or decide to present new testimony to the grand jury. or if he chooses to move forward to ask them to vote on an indictment against former president donald trump, kira's canal, cnn, new york meanwhile, trump is appealing a recent court ruling that would force several of his former aides to testify about efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election among those aids mark meadows, his former chief of staff. that's according to two sources familiar with the grand jury's criminal investigation. the mid march ruling was the latest in a series of defeats for trump has been trying to block the testimony of his former staff and allies on the grounds of executive privilege. i opening

emails from inside fox news are being revealed as part of dominion voting systems defamation lawsuit against the network. one of those emails came from fox chairman rupert murdoch, who called donald trump's election lies ahead of january. 6th quote, huge disservice to the country and pretty much a crime. in another email, fox news ceo suzanne scott warned of the financial fallout if the network conducted fact checking of trump's lies after the 2020 election, cnn's oliver darcy spoke earlier about these revelations. there's just more fallout every day from this $1.6 billion lawsuit against fox news from dominion voting systems, and now we're having new emails that really shed light on the pressure that fox news is under as a business after they called the election accurately for joe biden. i want to read to you an email that suzanne scott, the ceo, sent another executive after a correspondent eric shawn, fact check trump slides and a guest

who went on sean hannity's program and spread some election lies. and she said, this has to stop and goes on to say this is a bad business, and there clearly is a lack of understanding what is happening in these shows. the audience is furious, and we are just feeding the material. bad for business. now. fox news will this was because they fact checked a guest that was spreading again. these election conspiracy theories on sean hannity's show , but still, regardless, like if a guest went on cnn and spread election conspiracy theories, it would be pretty normal. it would be expected that other incurs would then call it out. in fact, check that for the audience. us stocks ended higher on wednesday after a second day of testimony from banking regulators. they told the house that financial services committee that they blame the blame for silicon valley bank's failure stretches across bank executives, federal reserve supervisors and other regulators. lawmakers are investigating what led to the collapse of silicon valley bank and signature bank and how to prevent it from happening again.

take a listen. it's particularly ironic. it's the fed that's raising the interest rates and then the fed. that's not examining banks to see if they can survive if interest rates go up. ah, um uh, the concern we all have is, are there other banks that could go under? and u . s. senators finally got a chance to hit directly from the former ceo of starbucks about the company's labor practices publicly. the coffee retailer insists that it supports collective bargaining and denies that it retaliates against those who wish to organize. but that was not what senators heard from one fired employee have a listen. we were constantly being watched, and managers listened in on our conversations through our headsets start hours were constantly changing in hours kept getting cut. people were fired right on the shop floor. they fired seven of our union members. two of them were shift supervisors to partners requested medical and maternity leave. management refused to

sign off on their leave, and they were terminated. several people quit, including my wife. some of us were told that we should look for another job in july, i let a two day unfair labor practice strike and delivered our demands. a month later, i was fired for supposedly being disruptive. former ceo howard schultz told senators that all starbucks employees have valued the same unionized or not, but senator bernie sanders was not satisfied and press schultz to clarify the company's stance on organized labor. here's that exchange. we respect the right of every partner who wears a green apron whether they choose to join a union or not. are you aware that anna lord be judges have ruled at starbucks violated federal labor law over 100 times during the past 18 months. for more than any other corporation in america, sir. starbucks coffee company unequivocally. let me set. the tone for this very early on has not broken the law

. we have never, ever taken any benefit away and we never would of anyone who was interested in joining a union. there are more than 9000 starbucks stores across the united states, but only about 300 have successfully unionized. the fda is giving the green light to over the counter sales of the opioid overdose medication narcan. it's touted as a potential lifesaver at a time when opioids deaths are skyrocketing in the united states, knocking can already be purchased without a prescription in most states, but as elizabeth cohen reports, this fda approval could save many lives. this is just a nose spray, and it's very , very effective at reversing opioid overdoses now, right now, you can get it without a prescription, but you have to ask the pharmacist for it. it's behind the pharmacist's counter , and that's a problem because people don't know what's there or they're too embarrassed to ask for it. what's going to happen soon is that it will be

available just over the counter just right there on the shelf next to the shampoo or next to the aspirin. it will be just right out there. let's take a look at why this is so. so important if you take a look at this graph. these are opioid deaths from 1999 until 2021 as you can see, they have just skyrocketed in 2021. there were more than 80,000 opioid overdose deaths in the u. s if you look from 1999 to 2016 about 9000, children and teens died from opioid overdoses. the two questions that remain is one. why didn't they do this sooner? people were calling for this to be done years ago. and to what will the cost be if the cost is high, even though it's over the counter, many people won't be able to buy it. taiwan's president will soon head to central america to short relations there, but it's her stopover in the u. s. most angered china a live report from hong kong just ahead. plus the

of the international attention is focused on that, given the sort of reaction that it could feasibly provoked from china. what would taiwan's president stand to gain by even entertaining an idea of this meeting? well, bianca. she's certainly up the child upset the chinese. we have just heard from china's ministry of foreign affairs, and they have said that president size stopover on her way to central america is collusion between taiwan and the united states. let me now read to you some of what was just said. china strongly condemns the u. s for insisting on arranging for saying went to transit across the border, disregarding china's solemn representations and repeated warnings, the united states and taiwan colluded with each other and arrange for sighing when to engage in political activities in the united states under the guise of transit. now earlier,

taiwan's president, saying when who arrived in new york on wednesday night, praised her country's bond with the united states, saying that its relationship has never been closer to the us now, as you say her stopover is unofficial, but china says the true purpose of her trip is to promote taiwan's independence. what is really upsetting the chinese? as you said bianca is size expected meeting with house speaker kevin mccarthy in california on her way back to taiwan. mccarthy would be the highest ranking u. s official to meet a taiwanese leader on american soil. china has threatened to quote resolutely fight back if they meet in los angeles. and if you remember when former u. s house speaker nancy pelosi visited taiwan last year, china responded by firing ballistic missiles over taiwan, deploring warships in the taiwan strait and conducting a simulated blockade of the island. so that could well be in store for this

visit as well. china as we know , believes that taiwan belongs to it. it's refused to rule out the use of force to bring taiwan under its control. and while the us acknowledges china's position it maintains that taiwan's status should be settled peacefully between beijing and taipei. as we know her trip comes amid heightened tensions between washington and beijing, but u. s officials say china shouldn't over react that such transits are simply routine. let's take a listen. people's republic of china should not use this transit as a pretext to step up any aggressive activity around the taiwan strait. there is no reason for them to react harshly. overreacting anyway, this is a common occurrence. being an analyst believe that science 10 day visit is designed to strengthen diplomatic and economic ties with the west and also assert her islands autonomy . but they also believe that she wants to project strength at

disney movie tells the story of ruby bridges, the six year old first grader who became the target of hatred and racism when she integrated and all white elementary school in new orleans in 1960. it is now the latest flashpoint over instructional materials as the state of florida limits how lessons on race, sexuality and gender are taught in the classroom. pg rated movie is now under review by pinellas county schools in florida, a review that stems from a complaint by a parent of a second grader asking it moved from the school's list of approved films. the north shore elementary parent whose name was redacted, and the complaint form by the district says the movie is not aged, appropriate spelling out objections to the use of racial slurs and that the movie could teach students that white people hate black people and is more appropriate for eighth graders. it's not the first time some parents have objected to how the story of ruby bridges is taught in the classroom in 2021 in tennessee,

one mom told cnn all this curriculum highlights is the mean white people and how she's victimized and it speaks to nothing of the good so when i share my experiences my story in these books i share our shared history. good, bad and ugly. that's what bridges herself told a u. s house committee last year , according to the florida district, the movie will not be shown at this particular school for the rest of the year but is still available at other schools in the district and in the districts movie library and will now go through the formal objection process to review challenged material per district. policy ruby word on how long that review will take to complete. and context here. this is the same florida school district that poured nobel prize winning author toni morrison's bluest eye and january from high school libraries when a parent complained and objected, and school officials reviewed it,

leyla santiago, cnn, miami his screenwriter of the 1998 film is pushing back against claims that it's inappropriate for use in schools. tony and johnson says that each teacher should be able to answer questions about the movie and provide more context. but she argues, it remains an important story that needs to be seen. one parent should not have the right to, you know, just say, i don't think this is right. and then everybody has to abide by that. my parents weren't able to do that. i think this is a privileged that black parents don't have. black parents aren't able to just march into the school and say i don't like this movie so nobody can watch this movie for the rest of the year. the film does highlight black humanity, which a lot of films don't do. i didn't have any films like that as a child. there were no films that centered a young black girl . this film has been around for 25 years. it has worked for 25

years and it can continue to work. new board handpicked by florida governor ron desantis to oversee disney's footprint in the state is now considering legal action against the company. disney reached a 30 year deal with the outgoing board just days before republican governor ron desantis stacked the board with political allies in a hostile takeover. under the agreement, the new board can't do much of anything without first getting approval from disney. in a statement to cnn, disney stood by its actions , quote all agreements signed between disney and the district were appropriate. and we discussed and approved in open noticed public forums in compliance with florida's government in the sunshine law. king charles. the third is set to address the german parliament in the next hour as he has his. he and his wife camilla spend their second day in germany, and it will be his first speech to the bundestag and the first speech ever by a british monarch , charles livid part of the speech at the banquet last night in german and is expected to do

the same during his address to lawmakers today and later on, he will meet with ukrainian refugees who found sanctuary in germany from the war at home until visit an organic farm as well. so thursday is going to be a jump. packed day. for the king and our max foster is traveling with king charles in germany and joins us now from berlin. max lovely to see you. i feel complete once again. tell us how is king charles, the third being received in germany. and do you think the soft diplomacy of this trip will provide a boost to this relationship has been a bit battered by brexit. i think so. the germans have pulled but a huge effort behind this. we had fighter jets accompanying us as we came in on the royal flight. there was this moment that the in central berlin yesterday a full ceremonial welcome, which no other head of state has received at all since the second world war, so they're doing everything they can to roll the red carpet out. and then we had that banquet last night where

the german chancellor spoke about the king as a highly symbolic visit, saying it was a tremendous personal gesture. interestingly there as well, bianca as you said charles was speaking german, but he also had some german relatives there in the banquet as well. so there are personal ties to the country as much as these deep diplomatic ties between the two countries, which have suffered, frankly, haven't they since brexit, but they're trying to reestablish those. i think that that's why the british government particularly wanted charles to come here as one of his first visit richie soon as very much behind the idea of this entire trip. and max tell us a bit more about the king's agenda for the rest of the day. this trip to an organic farm is intriguing. well, he's always going to have something organic in any sort of day of events, isn't he? because that's his big mission and germany very big on green issues as well. and speaking to members of the crowds here they do talk about him being this green pioneer. so that's definitely

part of the story here is currently meeting the german chancellor olaf schultz, and is then going to come to where i am to the bundestag and give the big formal speech which is a big here what he has to say the government. the british government would have been very involved in that speech and i think it will all be about deepening ties. what more can we do? you also mentioned he's going to go along and meet some ukrainian refugees. he's talked about how germany has accepted a million of them and he really wants to celebrate how germany has got behind ukraine in its war, and he'll call it an unjust war. these images i'm told are coming in now of olaf schultz meeting the king. so there you have the head of the government having this meeting ahead of that big speech, wait to see what ola shots has to say about all of this today. today is a bit more political. yesterday was about the two heads of state meeting. talking about the historic ties today is more about the current ties between the uk and germany and how they can find common ground on

policies such as ukraine, so i'm sure that will come up in the readout we get from this meeting afterwards. max foster. thank you so much talking perfectly to those pictures that we were just receiving, which showed king charles the third, shaking hands with chancellor schulz and walking into the bundestag building next. thanks so much. historic win for vanuatu at the united nations on wednesday. the island nation, one of those calling on the international court of justice to define the obligations countries have to combat climate change. vanuatu has taken a beating from escalating severe weather just this month to cyclones ripped through the islands. it could take more than a year for the world's top court to issue its official opinion on the matter. still to come. america's top general says that russian troops are being slaughtered in the battle for back much more on that in the live report coming up, plus the political chaos in israel is leading to tension with the united states, where live in jerusalem with the details. can of f lysol take cae

a max original heaven's gate sunday at 10 on cnn. back to our breaking news. u. s. army officials at fort campbell in kentucky say two blackhawk helicopters have crashed during routine training, and the state's governor says fatalities are expected. these photos from the crash site were obtained by wkd z radio and the helicopters were with the 101st airborne division. we're hearing now from someone who witnessed the crash wednesday night. two helicopters came over pretty low and all of a sudden, soon as i got older house, something loud banging everything shut down just all of a sudden, so we jumped. the truck came over here. that's what we've found two helicopters, so. will bring you any new updates to this story as they come in. so do stay with cnn. ukraine's defense minister

is now suggesting that a counter offensive campaign could begin as early as next month. alexey reznikoff says that german leopard tanks now arriving in ukraine will likely be on the battlefield in april or may as ukraine prepares to launch a counterattack against russian forces. that word comes as ukraine reports heavy russian losses around the eastern city of bach mood. officials say. in just one day, nearly 100 russian soldiers were killed. they acknowledge the russians have had partial success in their attacks. still, the u. s joint chiefs of staff chairman says it's the russians who are paying the highest price. these forces are very undertrained. they're essentially doing frontal assaults in the machine gun positions, etcetera getting slaughtered. the russian troops are ukrainians are doing a very effective area defense that is proven to be very costly to the russians. for about the last 2021 days, the russians have not made any progress whatsoever in and around back mood. so it's a slaughter fest for the russians. they're getting hammered in the in the vicinity of bachmann. the

ukrainians have fight very, very well. cnn salma abdelaziz is following these developments. she's with me here now in london. obviously it's very difficult to actually ascertain the numbers of casualties and fatalities on either side here. but what are we learning? what do we know? for sure about the toll taken on both forces and back mud? it's difficult to ascertain the casualties, and it's also difficult to ascertain the level of control on either side. there's a couple of reasons for this. of course, we're not on the ground. ukraine has very tough censorship restrictions, essentially to protect its intelligence on the grounds that makes it very difficult. and what you have, of course, is two competing narratives here one from moscow one from kiev, ukraine, saying that it's had some success in recent days that up to 100 russian soldiers were killed just in the last period that they've been able to hold and maintain the city of mahmoud, but they also admit that there has been partial success on the part of moscow. now, you'll remember a few days ago couple of weeks ago it was that the head of wagner version of guinea precaution was selling. the

breaking by putting a flag of wagner flag right in the middle of mahmoud. it seemed all but ready to fall and even now promotion saying, yes, we are being battered, heavily admitting that in a voice message, saying that they are still inflicting serious damage on ukrainian forces, but still struggling, of course to take hold of that entire city. this is a battle that's been going on for months now. so all eyes on where that goes, but still very much that war of attrition between these two sides as we head into the spring, salma. thank you. unrelenting protests as second round of talks and simmering tension between the us and israel. it's all linked to the israeli prime minister's controversial plans to overhaul the judiciary reforms are paused for now, while negotiators from the ruling coalition and opposition hold meetings, but many are skeptical over whether a compromise happen. benjamin

netanyahu called the debate public and often painful, but says that he hopes an agreement can be reached. he also downplayed the discord with the biden administration. cnn's hadas gold is standing by live in jerusalem had us do we get the sense that these tensions between the us and israel, you know, mainly around the statements from president biden . his intervention is having any impact on netanyahu's decision making process here. well i spoke with a senior israeli official yesterday who briefed reporters and he was adamant that the u. s pressure had nothing to do with their decision to pause the legislation that they had been trying to push through since early january, instead saying that it was the massive levels of protests as well as that general strike and the fears, the official said of pro reform protesters clashing with anti reform protesters in the streets. there were threats of that happening on monday, and that is what the official said, is what ultimately pushed

benjamin netanyahu over the edge now in. ironically he actually was pre scheduled to give a speech yesterday to the u. s hosted democracy forum. he gave a virtual speech where he talked about how he says is trying to rebalance the branches of government and now they are trying to reach some sort of agreement and negotiation. take a listen and we have to make sure that as we shift the pendulum from one side of an ever powerful judiciary, which is different from an independent judiciary. how do we ensure that the judiciary remains independent and that we balance the need to strengthen the executive and the legislative and at the same time protect individual rights. i think that balance can be achieved and that's why i've promoted a pause. now the senior israeli official also playing down the tension with the americans by saying it's a two out of 10 on

the level of crisis. but clearly there has never before been a moment like this between israel united states, especially from president biden, who has long called himself one of the most stalwart supporters of the israeli state, and he is now saying that he will not be having the prime minister visit the white house anytime in the near term, bianca had us gold live in jerusalem. thank you. still ahead ending in nba playoff drought. one team is heading back to the postseason after the longest playoff drought in nba history details for you after the break. t thiss annie. she started a a school fr dogs but had trouble getting the loan she needed to grow smart business loans .com. found them a bank which got them an s b a loan with a great rate. it was fast. it was easy. they were super nice. and i got the loan today at smart business loans dot com. lisa from four imprint 50 welcome wiles. 300 customer. i love it and 200 team member. oh yes, certainly g some brand w whom the wow factor with

, the wall street journal. us citizen even grow djorovic, born in 1991, accredited to the russian foreign ministry, suspected of espionage in the interest of the american government have been suppressed . we also understand that he has been detained on the eastern side of the ural mountains in an area there, the statement goes on to say that he was trying to obtain secret information related to quote the activities of one of the enterprises of the russian military industrial complex. now this journalist is someone who covers russia, ukraine. he's also worked for afp and other news outlets. so prominent journalists that we're speaking about here to you and what's important for us to remember in the context of this and again. this is breaking news. we don't know the details yet. i'm just reading you what i have in this statement. but you'll remember after the invasion of ukraine just a few days after for that russia passed this law this piece of legislation that moscow said was too against fake news. but what

many activists groups sought as actually was a censorship law that prevented journalists from even acknowledging that the war in ukraine is the war in ukraine , requiring them to use the language that moscow huge uses, which is the special military operation, so this is going to be extremely important. i would expect the state department in the united states is already scrambling to figure out what's happening. a lot of potential for escalation here. you mentioned this law, which russia introduced in the early days of the war, it calls to mind those scenes of russian journalists as well expressing forms of opposition to russia's invasion and the subsequent crackdown that we saw on them. i mean, what? what would you expect the response to be from the white house? absolutely expect strong condemnation. you will expect that the white house will say this is a journalist for a prominent american newspaper. for doing his job carrying out the very important job of being a free press and that that is

absolutely necessary at this time. very much. we have seen russia we have seen president putin crack down on any dissent . you'll remember those protests that were cracked down on so this will be critical. the next thing is to hear from the white house. thank you so much. we'll be checking in with you throughout the day that does it here on cnn newsroom i'm bianca nobilo in london and early start is next. how do i lolove thee? t me count t the ways. love can gt a little messy, good thing there's resolve. i love the love resolve the messthere's a new victim of idtity theft every three seconds. checking your credit score or bank statemen may not be enough to alert you. that's because identity threats appear in more places than you realize. identity thieves can use your information to open loans, transfer home titles,
