people might have left early, either because of the heat, or just got boring kids being able to watch a whole nine innings now that's one way to bring the younger generation into the game . make sure more kids are going to the ballpark. there's a bunch of ways that we can make a difference and making a lot of kids love baseball and grow up wanting to be big leaguers. and the pitch clock and the new rules are arguably the biggest changes we've ever seen in baseball history and major league baseball. they surveyed the fans. donny katelyn polantz , you know what you didn't like the most people said. you know the games last too long, and sometimes it's not a lot of action on the field. they get pretty boring these new rules they fixed both of those problems in a big way. and as someone who has three sons who you know, loves watching the games and going to baseball games with them, a game that lasts about 2.5 hours. that sounds pretty awesome. i don't know as long as there's still time to get a hot dog and a beer. you just read my mind. i was saying yes, i was just gonna say that the best thing about a baseball game, the hot dogs and

the beer college baseball season. andy we call it hot dogs. you might miss a whole inning now. all right, andy scholes. thank you. this morning continues right now. this is cnn breaking news. good morning, everyone. poppy is off this morning. we are here. we have a lot of breaking news for you. some major updates that are happening after russia has arrested an american journalist and accused him of spying. we're going to take you live to moscow. we'll have that in two army helicopters crashing in kentucky. the military is reporting several casualties, and we're expecting to get an update just a short time from now. evacuations underway at this moment in minnesota after a train that was loaded with ethanol derailed. and caught fire. start this morning with the major breaking news out of russia that we are following where a reporter for the wall street journal has been arrested . russia is now commenting on this, arresting this reporter and accusing him of espionage. the russians claim he was trying

to obtain secret information. a source tells me that the white house has been in touch with the wall street journal on this matter. right now, u. s officials are still gathering information regarding evan gersh povich's arrest. last time, russia accused the us journalists of being a spy. that was in 1986 during the cold war. the wall street journal vehemently denying the allegations and is demanding his immediate release. cnn asked the kremlin if it was a tip for tat for the us arresting the suspected russian spy just last week, allegedly posed as a brazilian graduate student. putin's spokesperson responded to that, and he said, had nothing to do with that had nothing to say about the topic. so let's start now, with cnn's matthew chance he joins us now from moscow, matthew good morning to you. what is the latest that we're hearing from the russian government right now? about this? hey don. well look, i mean, this is a very, very fast moving developing situation and we're not getting a lot of information you might expect from from the russians. although we've been tracking the

plight of this wall street journal reporter for some time now, since he basically disappeared when he was on a reporting trip to the russian city of yekaterinburg, which is about 1100 miles away from moscow, but within the last couple of hours, the russian fsb secret service in other words, the successor organization to the kgb, has issued a formal statement. mint, saying that they terminated the illegal activity as they phrase it of an american journalist named him as evan gorshkov itch of the wall street journal. they said he was on a mission for admission from the american side to accumulate classified information on one of the enterprises of the russian military industrial complex. now the katarina berg has got a lot of military factories, their tank manufacturing plants, ammunition plants as well. it's possible that even goes covic was doing some report for the wall street journal on them. the fsb says that while he was attempting to receive secret evidence he was apprehended in the city of you. katerina berg.

you mentioned that the wall street journal. they have categorically denied vehemently denied the allegations against him and have called for his immediate release, but the foreign ministry has issued a statement. their spokesman, marie marie, is a harvard saying that there is no question that the activities and i'm paraphrasing here. the activities of evan gosh, covic, we're not compatible with nothing to do as she said with journalism, so the russians are standing by this arrest right now. yeah well, a lot more to be learned about this. especially from the u. s side of this. did you know him and have you run into him on assignment at all since you're both in russia? i would like, you know, i didn't know him personally, but his name very well. i mean, he's a very prominent journalist in russia because he's been working not just for the wall street journal, but for the french news agency for a long time, and before that for the moscow times, which is an english language newspaper here, so i've been reading his bylines of for many, many years. thank you,

matthew appreciate that want to bring in now? cnn's chief national security correspondent , jim sciutto, jim. good morning to you this news coming overnight and all of your years. i know there's the last time this happened was 1986 as we have been discussing, but that this is quite rare, but quite serious. well, first, we should take any russian claims or accusations here with enormous skepticism and doubt right? it may have been many years since the journalist has been arrested on these charges. but we've had other americans we have paul whelan, a former marine accused of spying as well. and of course , brittney griner case, you know, a case where russia greatly trumped up their accusations of drug trafficking writer but before she was released, so russia's track record on this inspires zero little to zero confidence. and russia does, we know have a habit of taking americans and other foreign nationals in effect as hostages right that hostages to be used as

collateral for exchanges for russians held in the u. s or other countries, so we have to be conscious of the track record. conscious of russia's doubtful track record on making accusations like this, and then bigger picture. just the state of the relationship between these two countries to declining virtually i'm writing a book about this, but virtually every day, there's another sign of really escalation. you have russian aircraft hitting a u. s drone. you you have the escalation of the war in ukraine. you have russia pulling out of many aspects of the nuclear treaty just this week, and i think we could look at this as part. of the decline. that broader relationship. yeah i mean, and that's what's so concerning is here is because the relations are not good between them. obviously. britney griner was released in bid russia's invasion of ukraine, but jim the broader context here of the question, you know when nick daniel off, was arrested in 1986, he argued that he believed

that was in part because of someone that the us had just arrested. soviet citizen. that's the question here. obviously the us arrested a russian. so when they accused of being a russian spy last week. exactly and someone where, if you read the reporting on that russian national, there seems to be a lot of data and information to back up what he was actually up to using a false false identification. there are pictures of him in a russian military uniform going back. it appears the case against this russian nationals arrested here . there's actually some substance to that charges. he was working as a spy. at this point. we certainly haven't seen that substance and again. russia's track record is just just horrendous on this in terms of them backing up accusations. like this. listen big picture here, too, that this is a human story. you have an american national young man now thrown into a russian, you know, judicial system if you want to call it that, but one that is controlled by the government, and that that puts him a you

know, at at enormous risk right now, in terms of how russia operates. jim sciutto, chief national security correspondent , covering this at the top of the hour as well, jim, thank you so much, thanks to get to another breaking story overnight . the u. s army now reporting several casualties after two blackhawk helicopters crashed while on a training mission in kentucky. the military has not said yet how many soldiers were killed or injured, but we are told that the army is going to hold a news conference in just a few hours. these are the photos of the crash site. this is coming from a local radio station. wkd easy. you can see a plume of smoke and what looks like a piece of the wreckage here. a witness who actually lives nearby described what he heard right before the choppers went down. two helicopters came over pretty low and all of a sudden, soon as they got over the house, something loud banging. everything shut down just all of a sudden the truck came over here. that's what

we've found two helicopters, so cnn national security reporter natasha bertrand is tracking this story for us from the pentagon. natasha we know we're set to hear an official update this morning. what else are we learning, though, about what's happened here? katelyn polantz into here from the army at around 10 a.m. eastern, and right now we have pretty limited information on what happened, but what we are told is that two blackhawk helicopters did crash last night around 10. pm in southwestern kentucky, and those helicopters were engaged in a routine training mission, according to fort campbell military base, which posted a statement on facebook earlier today. now the army is not saying at this point whether there were any fatalities that resulted from this crash, but they are saying that there were casualties and the governor of kentucky has also waited on this and he said on twitter but he does expect that there will be several fatalities that do result from this crash. now senate minority leader mitch mcconnell has also weighed in on

this this morning. of course he is he represents kentucky, and he said in a tweet that he has devastated to learn about the army helicopter accident over kentucky involving our brave 101st airborne, and he says his team is in contact with the army and authorities on the ground. so we are expecting to learn more. but look, these kinds of training accidents. unfortunately, they are very common. just like last month, another blackhawk helicopter that was training with the tennessee national guard crashed in alabama and killed everyone on board. caitlin yeah, it's incredibly tragic. and obviously , fort campbell is such a source of pride for many people in kentucky and tasha will stay with it as these developments come in. there are also new developments this morning and the dominion voting systems $1.6 billion defamation lawsuit against fox bombshell email revealing fox chairman rupert murdoch called former president trump's election lies pretty much a crime scene as oliver doris darcy joins us now. good morning. these emails are

something else. and what is funny? what does fox have to say about this? i mean, these are more blunt, candid, honest remarks from rupert murdoch behind the scenes after you're january 6th, and we're getting these because of dominions lawsuit against fox news, which could go to trial in a few weeks. this one is rupert murdoch. he emails the ceo of fox news, suzanne scott and sees his his son, lachlan to ceo of fox corporation, and then i'll reach you, he says. trump insisting on the election being stolen and convincing 25% of americans was a huge disservice to the country pretty much a crime in available. it blew up on january six, and then he goes on to say best. we don't mention his name unless essential and certainly don't support him. so really candid remarks from the fox chief behind the scenes about trump, and this is why dominion wants to put him on the stand because it shows that he did have editorial oversight over fox news, and it also shows that he that he was willing to,

you know, use that editorial oversight to basically banished trump from his network. i mean, these are just low level people were talking about this is rupert murdoch, who is emailing saying that what trump did it? he's he called it pretty much a crime. i mean, that was the most striking part of the email to me. the thing that i find interesting, though he says that pretty much a crime was convincing a quarter of americans that the election was stolen. no mention of his host who he says he admits on air went and endorsed. these election lies rupert murdoch, at the end of the day is responsible as you can see demonstrated in this email he has editorial oversight over the network. he is responsible for what his host went on, aaron said. many of them went on there . they lied to americans. they lied to their viewers about the election results. he has no mention strangely about that in this email, but he lays the blame at trump. but it's important point. i didn't suzanne scott also sent emails and they were revealed in the courtroom as well saying, you know, we're not even paraphrasing here. we're not

serving our viewers by, you know , talking about the insurrection or fact checking the former president. don't fact check him. problem. fox news found themselves in because trump had convinced the audience that the election was stolen. and so when fox fact check those lies, the audience rebelled against them. so yes, there are emails that were also getting today that show that suzanne scott basically said fact checking trump was bad for business in her in her words. now fox says that that was because of a specific fact check where an anchor and correspondent fact checked a guest who appeared on sean hannity's show and spread election conspiracy theories. but regardless you know if someone goes on cnn, and they said it'll actually conspiracy theories. it would be expected that the rest of the network would probably fact check those those conspiracy theories in over a fox that that is apparently considered bad for business. we'll continue to follow oliver dorsey. thank you very much. also this morning.

there is another major storm that has hit california not just with snow, but also rain. some areas actually accumulated more than two ft of snow overnight. cnn's stephanie elam is live on mammoth mountain, stephanie. i mean, it feels like every day we check in with you, and there are some other significant storm that has happened there in california. we see you there this morning in mammoth lakes, california. how are the residents they're doing. mhm well, the people up here are hardy katelyn polantz tough. i'm from california. i gotta tell you, i've never seen snow like this. you see this measurement here? we could use this and say, oh, watch out. there's a you know something there. this is why they have them there. look at how it's dwarfed by what we are standing under here. we know that up here. they have received almost 700 inches. of snow, a record for here at mammoth in this march alone 185 inches, which is a record for march. we have one more day to go, and then just to just like over 24 hours we've seen maybe two ft of

snow more than that up here just to give you an idea. look at this. look at how hard and high this goes because of this mammoth is saying, hey, we're going to stay open to ski through the end of july, but it is just amazing to see this much snow compiled here all of this leading people to think perhaps that you know the drought is over. and actually, while the numbers are really a lot better , this is going to help out a lot, but we still have to worry about groundwater because there's been so much groundwater pumping here in california, but obviously up in the mountains. this is quite a different picture. if you take a look here and you look down here in mammoth, this is a part of it. downtown mammoth lakes, but you can see just how massive the snow mounds are. it's almost unbelievable to see the trees look like bush is coming out of what we're seeing here. you see the snowplows around here as well. so just really, just an amazing amount of snow and i hope this gives you an idea of

what we are seeing here, but really some fresh snow here because it's still snowing. we have one more day to increase these records. guys i gotta check you on something that almost unbelievable. it is unbelievable. how did you even get there? well, luckily because up here they're used to keeping the roads clean. we actually didn't even need change. because the storm came through. they plow the roads, but we got up here. we actually left later to make sure that that storm was making its way out because we are about 8000 ft. the summit of mammoth mountain is above 11,000 ft. and up there, they're saying they have, like 900 inches of snow. and just to give this into perspective, i know it says, like 700 inches. well what is that, really? it's approaching close to, uh uh, like 60 ft, and that is about six story building that we have seen of snow falling this season up here in the eastern sierra 60 ft of snow . stephanie elem, please be careful. and thank you for that

job stuff. yeah, amazing. more snow for you guys go. we'll let you keep that careful. step alright. also this morning, not just what's worst thing in california. also we're tracking developments out of raymond, minnesota, where evacuations right now are underway after a train that was carrying ethanol and corn syrup derailed overnight. we have new details coming in, plus tensions boiling over on capitol hill over guns following the nashville school shooting. you know, there are six people that are dead in that school, including three children, because you guys got rid of the assault weapons ban. you guys are worried about banning books dead kids can't read. well, that was congressman jared moskowitz yesterday. there he is. today live next right here on cnn. back when i had a working circulatorory system, yu had to give y your right arm to find great talent. butut with up work, there's highly skilled

something i usually jump on board was doable. it's realistic and it's something we can do the rest of our lives. tensions boiled over on capitol hill yesterday in the wake of the mass shooting at a national elementary school. there's a tense moment between democratic congressman jamal bowman and republican congressman thomas massey that happened last night. they have controlling the house. the american people need to know that they don't have to courage to do anything to save the lives of children what i'm saying dying teacher ular. i was a middle school principal. i was in cafeterias protecting kids every day of my career. there's never been a shooting. there was also this heated exchange between democrat jared moskowitz and republican marjorie taylor green during a hearing between

the house oversight committee. we want to talk about crime. and murder. let's have a hearing on murder in schools. it's murder. is there any any questions? i'll yield to anyone on this committee who disagrees that murder in schools is not murder . i yield. will you yield yield ? yes, please. when i was in 11th grade and show biden made our schools gun free school zones, one of the students in my school brought three guns to school and our entire school went on lockdown because he was the only person with a gun. there was no good guy with a gun to protect us kids at school. you want to know why the shooter is dead? in nashville. the trans shooter you want to know why? because a good guy with a gun killed that woman. you know, there are six people that are dead in that school, including three children, because you guys got rid of the assault weapons ban. because you guys made it easy for people who don't

deserve to have weapons who are mentally incapable of having weapons of war, being able to buy those weapons and go into schools and you guys are worried about banning books dead kids can't read. joining us now is the lawmaker. you saw their democratic congressman jared moskowitz of florida, who serves on the house oversight committee. as well as the foreign affairs committee and good morning, congressman and thank you for being here. we want to talk about that moment. there that is. i saw that yesterday. i wanted to book you on the show immediately. but i do want to ask you about the breaking news this morning. given that you serve on the house foreign affairs committee what we're hearing about this us journalist who has been arrested in russia on espionage charges. the first time we have seen something like this since 1986. what's your response? well thank thank you for having me. obviously it's distressing news . i mean, we have been an unprecedented territory with what's going on in ukraine. with russia. you're talking about a permanent security council member, invading another country and being able to veto

resolutions at the un about it. putin again a security council member, head of state being declared a war criminal and now obviously him kidnapping in american. and so this is him raising the specter. we are in very dangerous territory with him. this is all about leverage . and so now we have a human life in the balance in american and so you know, this obviously complicates things for the president, because obviously, putin is going to use this as leverage. but you know, this is why the you know joe biden put together in entire coalition. of the world and of nations against russia. and you know, listen, we always we pray, obviously for his safe release, and you said kidnapping an american. i assume you believe that russia should release him immediately. immediately i mean, you know, you know the problem is that you know they're now going to use him as leverage. and so it's not going to be that simple, unfortunately. but obviously, you know, this is not the game that putin should be playing. i

have angel biden has shown that he's not someone who is going to be toyed with when it comes to these sort of things, and so yes, for his family's sake, he should be released immediately. i'm from the town where robert levinson lived, and so i've seen what happens when members are taken away. away from their families. and so i, you know, i'm hoping that's not this situation. obviously absolutely . and to get back to the moment in that hearing yesterday, i think important context for our viewers is that you graduated from marjory stoneman douglas high school. obviously you were integral in the response to that and help people to the parkland shooting. what was going through your mind as you were having that exchange with marjorie taylor green yesterday. what was going through my mind is i still remember that there are members on the oversight committee that called parkland at false flag event. right and so i know what i'm dealing with their ii yielded on purpose because i knew what i would get . uh and so, you know, listen, this is a very serious issue for

me because i've seen what it's like. you know, when you go to your school that you graduated from, and there are bullet holes through the windows were backpacks are piled up outside, where homework is scattered through the hallway where there's bloodstains in front of the door because someone you went to high school with passed away, and so, um, she has never seen that a lot of these republicans i've served with have never seen that they've never seen what it's like. to watch parents put their kid in a box testify at their funeral and say the only thing they did wrong was send their kids to school. that's not a statement. that is an indictment on the elected officials who have refused to do nothing. we have allowed schools in this country to be turned into slaughterhouses. and so i knew what i was getting myself into. but it's so important for us to tell the american people and continue to do everything we can here. i'm not giving up. i got republicans in florida to raise

the age to 21 to buy a gun red flag laws which have been used 9000 times, three day waiting periods and hundreds of millions of dollars for school resource officers, mental health and school hardening if we can do that, in florida, rick scott signed that bill became a u. s senator. if we can do that, in florida, we can do that in washington. scott, a republican, but president biden in the wake of this is calling on congress to pass an assault weapons ban. all eyes turned to the halls of congress when something like this happens, but if democrats could not get that assault weapons ban passed when they controlled both chambers. how do you do it now? when republicans control the house? well, look, i'm obviously it's even more difficult. and so, look, i think we need to institute the assault weapons ban, but we also can't be afraid to do smaller things. everything we do is about mitigating this event and mitigating this crisis in this country. and so look if we can go out and pass a bill that saves 100 lives, i'll take that. if we can pass a bill that saved five lives, i'll take it. that's

five more children that are alive. that's five more families that are not broken. and so you know, i'm here to work with my colleagues across the aisle. you know, i want to ban assault weapons. but if we can't get that done, and we can talk about mental health, and we can talk about hardening schools and we can talk about sorrows, and we can talk about single points of entry, and we can talk about threat assessments. i'm willing to do all of the above because there is not one thing that's going to solve this problem. we have to do multiple things. the president said recently that he believes he's basically exhausted the full extent of his executive authority what he can do personally on guns. do you think that's right? or do you think there's more room for the president? well listen, i'll leave that up to you know the president and you know his lawyers who know the extent of how you can use a, you know, executive voters. but listen, maybe the maybe they should look at considering something like a pause on on their end. maybe that's something they can examine. rather than an all out ban. i mean, you know, obviously , we have to think outside of the box. we have to do whatever

we can. you know, the president has been someone who has talked about this over and over and over. he's made this a significant issue not just in his campaign but in his state of the union. he has met with the families. he has cried with the families. there's nobody in this country who understands loss more as an elected official, then joe biden, and so i know the administration is doing everything they think they can do within their legal limits. congressman jared moskowitz. thank you for your time this morning for weighing in on both of those important issues. we really appreciate it. thank you. alright. also today we're tracking the battle between florida governor ron desantis and disney. it's not over yet. it's actually ramping up. there are legal maneuvers that disney has used to try to hold on to power this morning. the breaking news this morning an american journalist detained in russia new details on what moscow accuses him of and how the wall street journal is responding. i have a surprise for you. i have a surprise for you. what let's say that the same timime 321 can

powerless this just weeks after desantis signed a bill meant to give him a give him new power over disney and the so called really creek development district. listen to this. today the corporate kingdom finally comes to an end. there's a new sheriff in town and accountability will be the order of the day. so that was in february late february. the law resulted in the hostel state takeover of disney special district, but it seems the company was one step ahead of the governor because just weeks before that bill was signed, disney and the outgoing board reached an agreement that would allow the company to hold onto its power in central florida for the next 30 years. senior reporter secret turno has been following this story and joins us now, steve. good morning to you. what a twist. i mean disney , quietly stripping the new board of its authority before the state takeover last month. how they do it. dan you might

say they did it quietly. quiet as a mouse. and you know, when you look at the events over the last month, it was quite interesting while lawmakers were meeting in tallahassee to strip the governor or should be stripped disney of this governing power and install this new board appointed by the governor, disney was holding its own meeting with its with the outgoing board, where they very quietly arranged for to hand over much of their power over disney, too. the company, including its ability to decide on development plans, basically saying that anything that the new board does on really quick district property has to be approved by disney. uh even if it's putting a clause in there that says that this new board can't use any of disney's characters like mickey mouse in any of its promotional materials , so the new board came in, and they discovered all these existing agreements were already

in place, and now they are scrambling to figure out what exact power they have over this giant entertainment complex. i imagine, though, that this new board is pushing back on this. what are we hearing from them or from the governor's office about how they're responding to this and what they're version of this is. yeah katelyn polantz they aboard meeting where they actually hired four different firms that are going to go through these agreements and go through financial statements and just figure out exactly what disney has done here and whether there's any potential recourse against the company. but disney is standing by its action. they put out their own statement to last night, telling me quote, all agreements signed between disney and the district where appropriate and were discussed and approved an open noticed public forums and compliance with florida's government in the sunshine law, so clearly this is not over yet, and we are heading

towards some kind of legal battle over these new powers that disney has shifted to itself. all right, steve contour? no, thank you. alright just moments ago we got the weekly unemployment numbers why the federal reserve is rooting for job loss in order to tackle inflation and this just in brazil's former president bill scenario returning to the country for the first time since losing reelection in october, a loss of culminated in thousands of his supporters riding and protest. sonora flew back to brasilia from florida, where he stayed for three months itself. post exile more cnn right after this with you. tonight at nine onon cnn primetime vice presidet mike pence t talks with wolf blitzer. speculation s swirls around hisis political future is being ordered to testify aboutut conversations he had with former president trump cnn. primetime former vice president mike pence tonight at nine what's it like toear from the people actuay

-yup, socal, norcal... -monterey? -all day. -a branch in ventura? that's for sure-ah. atms in fresno? fres-yes. encinitas? yes, indeed-us. anaheim? big time. more guacamole? i'm on a roll-ay. how about you? i'm just visiting. right away. call us u.s. bank. ranked #1 in customer satisfaction with retail banking in california by j.d. power. now. there's only one morgan and morgan 44 401 541. i'm jeremy diamond at the white house. and this is cnn. all right, justin, we have the weekly jobless numbers are cnn chief business correspondent christine romans is here to break it down. what are they? and what do they mean? 198,000 people filed for the first time for unemployment benefits in the most recent week. that's up about 7000 from the week before, but this trend you guys has been stubbornly low . and i say that how can it be stubbornly low? you know,

jobless claims. these are layoffs. essentially they have been very, very low in this economy, and that has something that is translated into some concern. among federal officials and federal reserve officials and economists, frankly, because this kind of a tight tight labor market can be contributing to inflation, and so it's one of those stories where you keep hearing. consternation that the fed or economists would be rooting for some more layoffs are rooting for job loss because that would be one of the ways you could cure inflation. so it's one of one of the sort of undercurrents of the conversation right now that when jobs numbers are are so strong like this, that can be a problem on the inflation front. i try not to really think about it too much. i just listened to you and say, okay, whatever whatever christine says, the revision of gdp just released. what are these figures show the final read on what the fourth quarter looked like, and it's 2.6. that's down a little bit from the earlier read of 2.7% but you can see that's pretty much that's pretty much putting in the rear view mirror that slowdown we saw at the beginning of last year. so the end of the

year last year ending on a pretty strong note and again the underlying economy despite what you've heard in tech layoffs, despite what you've heard in bank failures, at least until the end of last year, the underlying u. s economy remains strong here. despite those other problems you've been hearing about where it goes in the future. nobody has a clue and the more confident they are in their forecasts, the more you should be careful of their prognostications because no one knows what's really to happen yet, but i can tell you the underlying basis of the economy still strong. christine romans. thank you very much. appreciate that. so the breaking news this morning american journalist evan herskovits, detained in moscow and accused of espionage and russian state news agency tass reports that moscow court has formally arrested him. now he is the first u. s reporter accused of spying by russia since 1986 wall street journal vehemently denying the allegations and is calling for his immediate release. we're joined now by new york times columnist nicholas kristof. good morning to you. good morning, frequently travel overseas. obviously a reporter

working in this field. this is chilling. what do you think of this? i think every journalist feels a certain person when you have a colleague somewhere who is imprisoned for committing journalism, and evan is not a spy. he committed journalism, and i mean, i guess one of the things that troubles me is that the kidnapping of journalists hostage taking that started with these, you know, independent terrorist groups and they just spread to countries. north korea, your ron. china kidnapped the two michaels for advantage, and now russia and you know they find advantage in taking hostages, and we have to change that dynamic. not just for heaven's sake for all of us, and i think what britney grinders situation showcases the judicial system in russia is not fair and we are and you can't they're not reliable. you can't count on them to be to be fair, and we're now just learning that the lawyer who is representing him was actually not even allowed to attend the hearing, according to

russian state news. and this is a huge step backward. i mean, the last time this happened in russia was nick daniel off in 1986, and it wasn't even russia. it was a soviet union. yeah since then journalists have reported. you felt some confidence that you could go and embarrass putin and embarrassed moscow and you would not be in prison and over the last year since the ukraine operation, i think we've all been nervous that reporters could be imprisonment. we thought it was more going to be for reporting that there was a ukraine war not for espionage and evidence now facing 20 years in prison. it's outrageous. let's turn to china now because just in china says that taiwan's president visit to the us today seriously violated its sovereignty. tensions are very high right now. ah look, presidents i his, you know, made trips to the us like this stopovers more or less once a year, this has happened forever . and in fact, this was a way of having her meet kevin mccarthy in the us rather than have kevin

mccarthy go to taiwan, which would have been more destabilized. and so china is you know, there. something i hope that they won't do something further alike military exercises in the taiwan strait or worse, provide weaponry to ukraine to russia using ukraine and we've seen it was all they responded with pelosi went and how provocative those reactions were. we heard from mark milley, who is the general mark milley is the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. he's been testifying on capitol hill this week. talking basically broadly about the state of the relations. this comment from him really stood out to me. any. um coherence and cohesion between russia and china. in this particular strategic environment that we're in. we're seeing that with the two of them are getting closer together. i wouldn't call it a true full alliance and the real meaning of that word, but we are seeing them moving closer together, and that's troublesome . and then, if you add in iran

is the third, so those three countries together are going to be problematic for many years to come, i think maybe not an alliance, but certainly certainly in alignment. that's right. and i think you know a year ago trying to said it had no limits partnership with russia, and clearly there are limits to it, but the fact that they are getting closer. i think is deeply alarming and in particular, the one thing that would completely change the dynamic in ukraine is if china provided large numbers of artillery shells to russia that would completely upend where things are headed, and i think that's what i worry about most. less than just getting back to russia again as you travel. um what do you say to about your last words on this journalist? where do you want this to go? what do you think should happen so i would you know that? i'm sure the state department will be telling the family and the wall street journal, you know, don't make a big fuss. let's negotiate this privately. i think that is really bad advice

. paul whelan is an american newsman held for five years accused of espionage in a russian cell and this quiet diplomacy stuff. i understand why it's an interest of the state department. i don't think it's the interests of the prisoners. i hope that they speak up. raise this issue and also, you know, shame russia and make it clear that business investors aren't going to want to go to moscow. we have to raise the price of hostage taking. nicholas kristof. always a pleasure to be with you. thanks for coming in and talking about the breaking news. we appreciate it such an important topic and we'll be tracking those updates and keeping everyone updated. also this morning, we have been asking all morning. how much do you tip on everything from a cup of coffee to food delivery. we'll see how you responded harriet and has crunched the data. gosh! it was interesting. how what's ththe number one retinol brarand used momost by dermatologists.

there. you're ordering your morning. coffee you hand over your credit card. use apple pay the employee then flips the tablet over and on the screen. you have some tip options before you know it. you're tipping $1 for a $5 coffee. maybe more than that. if you're unsure what to do, you are not alone, thanks to the rise of the digital tip jar . more stores are now giving you the option to tip employees. and americans feel overwhelmed. our cnn senior data reporter harriet in has been looking at this people do feel confused because when you're like cash, some changes just put whatever in there now, it's like what's the right proportion starts at like a dollar, you know? and yeah, 2025% 30% right? you know, it already starts at a height ip look, this morning's number is five because americans who tip all the time it's down 5% in 2022 versus 2019 across six categories, so i think there's this question, right? is there almost this tipping overload?

and i have questions for you guys. you know, we look at the polling, right tip all the time for in dining servers, hairstylist barber, food delivery. taxi ride, share. coffee baristas. food take out. i don't think it's a support all down. these are all down 73% no , it's at 73% it's down the prior year. alright alright. but most talking to that would be something would be quite the thing right? but most of these categories are down. the only one that's up is the hairstyle, hairstylist barber, but again, this is most of these stuff are down, and i think the real question is, you know, is this down because there's sort of a tipping overload right? like like asking the tip on an ipad for a 6 $50 latte right? because three this and most of us are a lot of us pay with this now, you know the chip jar and the bill were separate from places like coffee and fast suit. now they're together electronically. is this causing burnout, i think is the question. well here's the thing. i don't even carry it. why? i shouldn't tell you that rarely carry a wallet anymore.

so usually it's just on the phone right. you don't even have to carry your credit card anymore. but here's a i think the barber thing a hairstyle is it's up because people do the venmo thing now and you can tip on that. you don't have to carry the cash to tip your hair person. what do you think we should? we should be tipping on. i guess you should tip on everything actually chronic over tipper and katelyn polantz to ever worked a job where you work off tips. you are better, tipper. i think than anyone else and i have definitely been there before. so i would just say we got all these responses here, a few of them on the screen. you know, i think there are a lot of interesting stuff here. but most people, at least that chimed in, said they basically tip on everything. not much of a surprise. i don't think you admit if you didn't minimum is 20% for me. i don't know if that's but that's a minimum, even on a food delivery, or even on a take out. i said you're a good tipper. done i appreciate it. but you're right. if you ever worked in that industry, you know the tip. yeah. thanks harry. thank you. and we have new developments that we've been tracking all morning here. the arrest of the wall street journal reporter evan gersh
