8:01 am
, heart pounding body cam. footage of those critical and terrifying minutes. officers rushing toward the gunfire, and now the killer's family is speaking up about what they call his mental health challenges. officials say the smoke pouring into the skies over indiana is definitely toxic. we are live on the scene of this huge recycling plant fire. thousands have been told to evacuate these stories and more all coming in to cnn news, central. there is an emergency unfolding in eastern indiana. happening now toxic smoke billowing into the air over the city of richmond, this as fire crews are making progress. they have contained the fire to the plant itself, but they are still battling that plant at the fire still very
8:02 am
much burning, as it has been for the last day. 2000 people have been ordered to evacuate their homes, and officials say it could be days before the danger clears. omar jimenez is live for us on the scene, omar you've been there now for some time described the situation. i don't see quite as much smoke behind you as i did before. yeah john. one thing that we've noticed is that the smoke has seemed to go up and down at points, but it's definitely smaller than when we first arrived, at least in terms of proportion of black smoke. we've also been keeping an eye on the changing wind conditions because obviously, when we got here, it was blowing away from us. and that was one of the warnings that officials were giving that you know. you see it blown away, but that could change. at any moment. let's take a look at what it's looking like, right now. you see a combination of some of that darker smoke and some of the lighter smoke, which often times we see as as fire officials try to extinguish some of these flames, so it seems they're making some progress. as for what caused this that is really
8:03 am
the main question here. the fire chief and others are trying to get to the heart of it, but one thing that, the mayor said was that the mayor said that this is a property they've had issues with before in terms of potential fire hazards on the property, and as far as how this came through, we knew it was a semi truck trailer that's on fire that fire spread to plastics around that trailer and then into the building itself and is burning about 14 acres worth of plastics now. spewing those definitely toxic chemicals into their but take a listen to the mayor and other officials about some of their frustrations with this property in particular. the issue was a unsafe building and unsafe grounds. this person has been negligent and irresponsible and it's led to putting a lot of people in danger today. and again, it's a blame. they're putting squarely on that on that on that owner. whoever is owning
8:04 am
this particular property, and so that's something. we're trying to get more details on, but also a key thing that's been happening today is the testing of the air quality in and around now, officials say the plumes itself that is definitely toxic . but a major question is that the ground level what sort of air quality have we been seeing so representatives? from the epa on the ground, they said the main concern on the ground for breathing air is smoke particular. it's so things that masks would help with, but it's not so much the toxins at the ground level now you mentioned the smoke coming down, they said , as this flame and smoke begin to extinguish some of those toxic plumes that were going up into the air. could end up being around this ground level. and so that is something they are monitoring very closely so that the 2000 that were told to evacuate now doesn't grow into something much more. and where i still can't get over the 14 acres of plastic that you describe as now in flames or in
8:05 am
smoke over all of you. is this something that you can smell? i mean, what are you and people saying are experiencing. you can definitely smell it in the air. if it's not a chemical type of smell, it is the smoke itself. yeah 14 acres worth of fire chief said that if it's 14 acres of plastics, 13.5 acres have actually burned and that half may just be the spot where those crews are actually standing to take care. try to take care of some of these flames that you talked about. one of the more important part is that they do feel like it's contained at this point, so at this point, they don't feel like there's a risk to surrounding homes as far as flames go or anything like that. so that is good news, but we also talked to a resident that lived basically at the epicenter of where this was happening at the heart of all these all of this black smoke, and she said that when she got the evacuation order, she didn't hesitate. she ran. she got out of there. even
8:06 am
she didn't have all of her stuff. and even if she hadn't gotten the evacuation order, she would have just been able to step outside. look up, look up and see the amount of smoke that was bearing down on her property there. she doesn't know when she's going to be able to go back safely. people here don't know as well as far as those that are in the evacuation zone . officials say they're working to try and get this as safe as possible. but obviously the long term effects or something they were going to have to be paid attention to hear, especially if some of those toxins come down from the air where they are now and end up in more of the breathable area. here on the ground. look, we spoke to sanjay sanjay gupta last hour. there aren't answers just yet into how long people will have to wait. it depends how long this fire burns and how far it spreads. omar jimenez, you and your team. thank you. please stay safe. sarah. the mayor of louisville, says his city is heartbroken as it prepares for a vigil today for those five people who were killed in a mass shooting at a downtown bank. louisville police have now released the body
8:07 am
camera video from the officers who responded. it includes images from officers, nicholas wilt. he was on just his fourth tour of duty and is now in critical condition. after being shot. we also have new video from the training officer. that was training mr. well corey c. j. galloway. it shows both officers charging towards the bank as they faced gunfire from the suspect. you're making entry from the from the east side, pressing the main. you hear officer galloway they're talking about the other officer was down. but he himself you saw fell backwards. he was
8:08 am
grazed by a bullet. there are also new images from inside the bank showing the gunman walking the halls. officials say it took him just a minute to carry out the attack before he appeared to wait for police to arrive. cnn's adrien brody is in louisville for us, adrian give us an update on what more we have learned about the shooter in this case. sarah, i want to direct your attention first to the bank behind me. you can see plywood now covers the windows on the other side of those windows is the lobby, and investigators say the lobby is where the shooter was waiting. take a look at these still images we received from police. the first picture shows the shooter inside of a bank hallway before the shooting . the other photo shows the shooter in the lobby of the building, and that is where he was waiting for the officers we now know officer c. j. galloway.
8:09 am
fired the shot that ended the life of the shooter on monday. we know that 25 year old shooter texted a friend. he called a friend and he left a voicemail saying in part he wanted to kill everyone at the bank and that he was feeling suicidal. investigators executed a search warrant on the shooter's home. we do know investigators learned the weapon that was used in the shooting that killed five people was purchased last week, six days before the shooting. so we're talking about on tuesday, april 4th it was purchased legally. and that gun he purchased from a local dealership here in louisville was used to kill five people who worked at this bank, the youngest victim of 40 year old tonight. all five will be honored and recognized and remembered at a vigil. meanwhile the shooter's family is working closely, with investigators releasing a statement. overnight, saying in part the
8:10 am
family was aware the shooter struggled with depression. however they said they didn't see any signs or even know he was capable of such violence. i want to read part of their statement to you, which says, in part no words can express our sorrow, anguish and horror at the unthinkable harm. our son connor inflicted on innocent people. sarah i don't know about you, adrian, but it always leaves me with questions as to why someone who says they want to kill themselves ends up killing so many people and then doing a suicide by cop. alright, let's go over to kate. this is just hard to watch. and i know you and shimon are going to go through this for us, and you talk through some of the key moments that have been revealed in the body camera video, especially octopuses here just to walk through what sticks out. you in some of these key minutes? i mean, it was five minutes, all told for them to neutralize the suspect. once they got the dispatch and got on
8:11 am
the scene, but let's start with officer wilt body camera, shimon , because you think this shows some important elements about the police response? will nicholas world is the officer who was shot in the head who is recovering from his injuries in critical condition right now in the hospital. let's play this just 10 days on the job. on his fourth shift only driving here. and you hear galloway as they're trying to get. gunfire is coming to them. he's back up, back up and what you see here and i want to stop it. hear a little bit. you see, galloway, this is galloway. this is wilt wilt is just armed with his sidearm. that's all he has. wilt goes right to the back of the car to get his long ride five long rifle. why this is important because this is how they trade. that an active shooter situations they go to get their long rifle to give them more firepower. and you're going to see eventually encountering someone with correct but this is how they train and i think that's so significant. you see almost immediately there.
8:12 am
training go into effect, and you see them go towards the gunfire. keep in mind here. they have no idea. where the gunman is at this time, seconds, right? they run up this staircase. wilt is shot in the head almost immediately as they get up the staircase and then galloway, then he's also shot and he goes to he goes to get into a position where he can kind of get his bearings. he over here. is where you see he is now taking cover. he falls down. he gets shot around here gets grazed in the head and he falls. and then he takes position because now he's trying to find the gunman time he's speaking in the you can hear and his body camera video. he's alerting them that he can't get a view on where the gunfire is coming from. clearly he knows officer wilt is down right over here, right? and but then he eventually other officers arrived to try to rescue wealth right? because he knows wilt is down. he can see the world is
8:13 am
down and all he's doing here is he's trying to find the gunman and you can see his in his video earlier that we show if you want to show it again. galloway video. you can see him here. he's looking. he's looking. he's looking the glass here is shot out now they can't see when he shot and that's when he shot and he falls and you see, he falls back here. and then this is where he's taking cover. and so he and then he tells those officers to stand by, because as the as these as the new officers come on scene, that is when the gunman shoots. they take take fire from the gunman that shatters the glass and more glass where he gets a clear view that long rifle. the long rifle rifle comes into play. and that's why that was such a key moment that he thought to go to the back of his car and get that long rifle. that was an important part. of this, but what you're seeing here is despite the fact that these officers are taking gunfire, despite the fact that one of their officers is down there
8:14 am
still going forward, and then eventually they go in and saved the lives of the people who confirmed that his shot he was able to take out the suspect. the suspect, the deputy chief after this is who they were talking about this. he spoke about what it took. you talked about the training but what it took for these officers to respond so quickly, and in this way, let's listen to that. what you saw in that video. was absolutely amazing. it's tragic , but it's absolutely amazing. there's only a few people in this country that can do what they did not everybody can do that. they deserve to be honored for what they did. because it is not something that comes easily . it is not something that comes naturally. and so he talked about. it's one thing for officers to train for this, but when you're actually in this kind of a situation to see officers react this way, and just how remarkable it was to see them behave this way to see
8:15 am
them be so courageous to go towards the gunfire continue to go towards the gunfire. you know just a rookie officer and keep their nerves about them to let their training training even the rookie officer, even the rookie officers training taking effect and then the trained officer, the one who has more seniority who's been you know, on the job more. you see his instincts in his actions to go and get that long rifle you mentioned. these are the five victims of this as adrian and sarah were talking about earlier. there's a vigil tonight to honor these victims, and we remember them as well. it's important also, as we shimon. thank you so much for walking through this. we're going to continue to get more images coming out, but also the programming for all of you make sure to tune in tonight to cnn tonight. katelyn polantz is going to be joined by kentucky's governor, andy beshear. for his first interview since this louisville bank shooting, and as you see, one of these victims was one of his very close friends as the governor has spoken very emotionally about that begins tonight. nine pm
8:16 am
eastern john. thanks kate this morning, ukraine's security service has launched a war crimes investigation. into the horrifying video that appears to show the beheading of ukrainian soldier this is the second video to emerge on social media showing graphic violence against ukrainian soldiers. now cnn is not showing these videos, but we do have some freeze frames from the clips that appear to show the victims and the perpetrators and give us a sense of who they may be. let's look at some of that. you can see the white leg band. that indicates support for the russian military person appears to be kneeling next to a body on the ground. additional stills that cnn has not yet released show the yellow armband worn by ukraine's military. ukrainian president zelensky vowed to hold those behind the videos accountable. efficient in the muscle. there are things
8:17 am
nobody in the world can ignore. how easily these animals murder . what kind of creatures are they don't care about a human being a son, a brother, a husband, someone's child. this video shows russia trying to make it a new normal. all right. cnn's ben wedeman is in eastern ukraine for us, ben. as we said there is now a ukrainian war crimes investigation. what is actually known about these videos that are now out there. well for instance, cnn can't verify the location. there are two videos that appeared on rush pro russian social media channels. the first appears to be shot at this time of year and purportedly in the area of bomb mood involving soldiers of the private military company. the wagner group. what you see in that video is the beheaded corpses of two ukrainian soldiers. next to a destroyed military vehicle. it also appears that their hands were
8:18 am
severed as well. now on that video, you can hear a voice say they killed them. someone came up to them. they came up to them and cut their heads off in the second video, which appears to be perhaps shot in a different season. it looks like this summer. it's somewhat blurred, but what you do see is a soldier. cutting the head off of a ukrainian soldier. and from the sound of it, it appears that the ukrainian soldier was alive as this was going on, and as you pointed out, there has been shock and outrage among ukrainians at the side of this video. in fact, the defense ministry is asking people to stop sharing. this video on social media as soon as possible. john it's barbaric again. the veracity but at this point can't be confirmed, but it is simply barbaric. what are the russians saying about it, ben?
8:19 am
dmitry peskov, the kremlin's chief spokesman, has said that the video is terrible, but the authenticity has yet to be proven. now you have jenny precaution. the head of the wagner group, says that he sees no indication that his fighters were involved. but we know in the past there have been videos of similar atrocities. there have been video videos of russian soldiers killing in cold blood. ukrainian and troops who had surrendered, so such atrocities are not unknown in this war, john again barbaric in horrifying ben wedeman in eastern ukraine. thank you so much for your reporting. please stay safe, kate. says they are some of the strongest ever. we're going to lay out the new standards and what they mean for you. plus are new developments in the investigation into those leaked pentagon documents are officials any closer to finding

8:23 am
if there's ever an issue, we take full responsibility for it . why don't you sell by the windows? well a lot of vinyl products just don't hold up well in the elements, you know, like a vinyl fence. when it's first installed, it looks great, but with expansion and contraction at this colors and cracks for that same reason. a lot of vinyl windows just won't last. our window material is a composite that combines the best of vinyl and wood. five. rex is low maintenance like vinyl, but stronger than vinyl. and it's beautiful, like wood, but doesn't require the upkeep of would be four. april 30th when you buy one window or door, get the next 1 40% off. that's 40% off with a minimum purchase of four and our financing can help make this project more affordable. get no money down, no monthly payments and no interest for one year. this offer ends april 30th call renewal by anderson today for a free appointment. 1 805 oh, 1 1400. what a circle. first of
8:24 am
all, it's a beautiful, shape, connected, consistent community . it's meant to be inclusive local. we build us dc digital dollar. that's actually dollar backed 1 to 1. future money will travel at the speed of the internet for fractions of a penny, and i don't think about it because it'll just be the way we work circles the place where crypto meets stability. businesses meet global customers in the u. s. dollar meets u. s. d. c. meet circle. sunday night. we're trying something a little different. one whole story. one whole hour. world's best journalists dig deeper into the stories they can't ignore. the whole story with anderson cooper premieres sunday at eight on cnn. this morning. the bind administration is announcing its most aggressive climate change policy yet and it could change the face of the u. s car market with the strongest ever federal pollution standards for cars and
8:25 am
trucks. now, if implemented, the new rules aim to increase electric vehicle sales to two thirds of the total sales by 2032 that could cut planet warming pollution from cars. in half. cnn's pete mountain joins us now with the details of this really could be a huge shift in the market beat. a mega shift, john. we're talking a very aggressive move by the biden administration here. think about this up until now. it's been all tax credits and incentives trying to lead manufacturers and consumers to water. take the metaphor one step further. these new regulations were really cause manufacturers to jump into the ocean when it comes to electric vehicles. these emissions standards laid out by the e p a today stair step up starting in the 2027 model year , but it really gets interesting in 2032. we're talking less than nine years from now. the goal is to have two thirds 67% of all new vehicle sales be electric
8:26 am
vehicles. that would be a huge shift because right now, electric vehicles make up only about 7% of all new vehicle sales, not to mention the range anxiety that people have the issues with supply when it comes to cars, manufacturers having to put these cars out also, the rare minerals needed to put out these batteries. a gallup poll just came out and said only about 41% of americans are interested in having an electric vehicle. so i want you now to listen to epa administrator michael reagan. but what he had to say about this earlier on news central today. we know that in the next couple of years we're going to see automobile manufacturers offer a suite of products that will be attractive to consumers. we know that we'll see charging stations all across this country so that we can reduce that range anxiety and those who are concerned about where they can charge and people will have a number of years that they can take advantage of these tax credits. top industry group
8:27 am
calls this aggressive by any measure, john, so we'll just have to see how this plays out. so i think you look pretty good in the tesla there, john. maybe a ford mustang maki. i am an e v believer pete mountain and these changes all by 2032. when both of you you and i will be 35 years old pete martin. thank you very much for that katelyn polantz from that. now the justice department has launched an inter agency investigation. to find who leaked those classified pentagon documents online defense secretary lloyd austin, he is now vowing to, in his words turn over every rock to find who's responsible. three u. s officials tell cnn that the investigations, though, could take months. different batches of documents were leaked and in stages as we know, some revealing the extent to which the united states eavesdrop on eavesdrops on key allies, including ukraine and south, south korea, and even israel. other documents appear to have detailed information about
8:28 am
russian casualties and ukraine also their current their current military supplies and capabilities. joining me now to talk much more about this is the general former general counsel to the n s. a. glenn gerstell. it's good to see you. thank you for coming in, glen. first and foremost, you think that this leak is odd. it's unusual. tell me why and what you see. thanks this is really one of the most unusual, if not bizarre leaks that i've had occasion to analyzer study. certainly since the snowden leak in 2020 13, and why do i say that because there doesn't appear to be any political motive for this. this doesn't look like snowden or chelsea manning releasing classified documents in order to score political points or reveal what they think is wrong doing. it certainly doesn't look like a another country like russia or or china or someone was able to get into our networks and release secret information. there wouldn't be any reason for them to do that. this looks a little amateurish in a little
8:29 am
odd if someone was trying to make a point, why would these documents wind up on an private internet chat room? and of course, the sheer scope of the documents is alarming. it's not just focused on one point say, say, ukraine. we have their documents as you mentioned that relate to israel, south korea elsewhere china and so the sheer scope is very unusual. so this is a very peculiar leak. i think at this point we have more questions than we have answers. it does seem that way. glenn i mean the defense secretary lloyd austin. he um, understandably, he seems furious and he wants to get to the bottom of it and let me play for you kind of how he put it and what they're going to do to figure this out. i will tell you that we take this very seriously and we will continue to investigate and turn over every rock until we find the source of this and the extent of it. the documents that we see
8:30 am
have seen, at least in part, they look like printouts pictures of printouts. what does this mean? in terms of tracking down the leak? kind of that piece of it? well, first, i should make clear that we don't really know if the documents are all authentic. some of them appear to have been doctored. the united states government still hasn't confirmed that they're legitimate. but let's assume for a moment that that either some of them are all of them are so it looks like the documents were printed out. presumably you could only do that in a secure facility. you can't print out. classified documents outside of a secure facility because of the computer networks only work inside official government building that is authorized to receive those documents. so someone printed this out in a in a in a government printer, which is probably logged and tracked. as to what time a particular page was printed out. maybe folded these documents up because they all seem to have paper creases in them, maybe stuffed it in his or her pocket and spirited it out of a building somehow,
8:31 am
although that's a little unusual. jewel because it seems like there's about 100 pages, so that's a lot of documents to take out over, apparently an extended period of time. and we don't even know if the leak has been plugged. maybe it's still ongoing. for all we know. and then the documents appear to have been photographed in a rather amateur way. sort of haphazard. the documents weren't really flattened. there's some evidence of background materials in the pictures and if you were a professional, you would never do that. and then most bizarrely, the documents wind up seemingly weeks or days later on a private internet chat server somewhere, and so. um it's not necessarily clear that the same person who took the documents out of a secure facility in the first place was also the same one who posted it on a on a discord server. maybe the person who stole the documents. left it somewhere in a coffee shop. or maybe their son or daughter saw a picture of it and thought it would be cool to take a picture and posted on the internet. who knows it. racing also raises huge questions and interesting ones of who will ultimately be
8:32 am
held liable depending on the chain of command here and the intent of it all coastal. it's great to meet you. thanks for coming in. sara all right. president biden lands in dublin , the capital of ireland, after speaking at a university in belfast, marking the good friday agreement, his message of peace will take you there live. in two seconds. eric will realize they're going to need more space to sell the house, open houses or sell with confidence to open door to cash offer open door .com. whenou're a small business owner, ere's no such thing as 95 days. no longer in business hours. well they're anything but prectable. especially when you have clients like ours when i consider payroll providers from my business, i looked for a solution that fit into my busy schedule. payroll makes running payroll easy, and its us based customer service is there for me when i have questions after

at just 7 99 a month 77 5383882 or visit homeserve .com. this is cnn. the world's news network. at this hour. president biden is in ireland. she's at the beginning of a three day visit to his ancestral homeland. before landing in dublin. the president had a full day of activities and northern ireland while they're biden hide bilateral talks with british prime minister richie soon afterwards, he gave a speech to commemorate the 25th anniversary. of the good friday agreement, which mostly ended sectarian violence in northern ireland, which killed thousands
8:37 am
upon arriving in dublin, the president met with first responders and school children with whom he shared some anecdotes about his past and talked about his irish roots. his first extended stop in county luth on ireland's northeastern coast, the county was home to his maternal ancestors. then he'll visit a cemetery where some of his family members are buried. he will also tour yes, a castle before taking part in a community gathering in the town of done black. he then heads back to dublin, where he will spend the rest of the evening. john sounds like a fun day. right does with us now is journalist lynn kelleher. she is the author of the green and white house, ireland and the u. s presidents. you can see the book position artfully above her shoulder right now, lin so great to see you. look, president biden. you've heard some people tout him as the most irish us president. but surely that would have to be john f. kennedy right with what, like eight grandparents from ireland. break grandparents. eight great
8:38 am
grandparents yet, so he's probably is the most irish. he's a great grandparents from limerick, wexford cork, and but joe biden would have would be 58 irish. so he completely on his maternal side. his irish with the blue, it's and the finnegan's and the carnies. and then there's a hannity relation in galway as well, um, and then, as he alluded to actually in his speech this morning, and he has he has the english lines, which um, and he taught. one of them was french. but he has since found out it was. it was a english. i was reading from the national museum of ireland's website this morning, it said. six million people emigrated or have to the u. s from ireland since 18 20, a full 43 million americans claim ireland as their ancestral home. does that explain sort of the love affair that goes on here? yes i think so. i mean in the research for the book, you know, in terms of presidents, there's 23 of the 46
8:39 am
. so exactly half would have relations in ireland and some of his closest parents and grandparents, and then you get the great great. great, great. great you know that the five times out. i think the reason as well as there's such a strong connection is that a lot of them left around the time of the famine or afterwards and it was kind of a forced migration. so there was this very strong attachment back to the to the homeland, which maybe wouldn't be as much in other countries when they they migration, you know that there was a lot of loss associated with it, and there's certainly seems to be a kind of a paternal attitude back towards ireland. you know, you see it in some of the diplomatic papers, you know, in the seventies and eighties from british diplomats. um which i looked at, and it was kind of an irritated tone of voice that the u. s. politicians were so invested in irish affairs, but one of the diplomats had said, um, you know that in the us as a nation of immigrants, and you know the further be the greeks or the irish. they'll keep an
8:40 am
eye on affairs back in that what they see as the homeland and it just so happens as you said, it was so many millions and millions of irish that, um, he also went hugely into politics because i suppose they didn't have the vote here. and they literally landed off the boat in america. they were signed up by the democratic party. and you know that that there was this huge political machine. you know, there was there was that's what they that's what they wanted to be. they want to be in the power. they want to be in the police service. so that's that's why you see all these very prominent target. american politicians like ted kennedy and tip o'neill and, you know nancy pelosi knows nowadays, even beyond the president's 23 out of 46 us presents an astounding number we only have about 20 seconds left. it's not just democrats, the reagan and nixon both got in the game here. they did, um and reagan's was quite close. he was a great grandfather, and he didn't realize sometimes there's you know, nowadays, it's much easier . you have these d n a sites and you can just show in your dna
8:41 am
and everything will pop up. but back then the records were a bit more sketchy and they weren't online. so i think there was a bit of a mix up with reagan because his his ancestor immigrated from bali, farina to break but then went to the uk and got a vote from the uk so there was a bit of a mixed up that he thought he was english, but he found out two months before he was due to be elected, he was told by a u. s. ambassador. um sean down then and that he would. he had irish roots and he actually didn't want to cash in on them, or, you know, because if he was taking advantage of them, but he said as soon as he got into office, he was going to celebrate his irish roots and he did very much so and you know what the embassy on st patrick's day and then came over for that famous visit in 1984 to value pori if you got it, flaunt it as they say, you know, thank you so much lynn kalahari for being with us and explaining this rich history in this fruitful connection. thank you. katelyn polantz. about the coronation of king charles. what about prince harry and meghan? well, we just learned who is and

learned that prince harry will attend his father's coronation next month, but his wife, megan , the duchess of sussex, will not join him. cnn's max foster is joining us now on the phone. hello, me, duck. so why is prince harry attending alone? well it's interesting, isn't it? we know that meghan and harry were invited. it's not clear whether or not lily better than archie were also invited their children, and it is archie's birthday on the same day as the coronation so it could be that megan wants to stay back to be with archie on his birthday, and it could be that there's still a huge amount of tension between meghan and the rest of the family. and she doesn't want to come for that reason but has been pointed out to me that it is archie's birthday, so i'm sure that it does play into the decision of it as well. the other question we're wondering as well about is whether or not harry will appear on the balcony
8:47 am
after the coronation. um and palace say they aren't commenting on that at this point. but i think that that's just a debate about how big the family group will be on the balcony, arthur coronation. if it's a big group, then harry will be included. but if it's just working walls, he won't be there is one thing that's guaranteed that people will speculate for eternity. as to what happened here. we may actually hear from harry and his wife. i do want to ask you who are some of the other will notable names that will be at this coronation, something we haven't seen in many, many, many decades. king. yeah and it's very, very tight numbers. i know that there's some frustration in the government, for example, that only the prime minister is able to bring a plus one and other ministers won't be able to bring plus ones. it's that tight . i was in poland with prince william recently and we were told the president of poland would be attending. so we know that allies of key nations have
8:48 am
all been invited, and they can send representatives and in the case of the united states, of course. still biden will be coming rather than president biden, but they're allowing each guest to announce whether or not they've been invited. we're not getting a full list from the palace. max foster there for us on the phone, and john max's telling me that your invitation might be in the mail. i wonder. you know, as they say about king charles. it's his coronation. he can cry if he wants to write a new, drastic and controversial plan to save water for tens of millions of people out west. this could lead to major major changes and soon. sail through the heheart of historic cities d unforgettable scenery. with viking unpack once and get closer to iconic landmarks, local life and cultural

8:50 am
pretty high, right? yeah brian, you can have the best window or door in the world, and if it's not installed correctly, it's gonna fail. so we don't hire these jack of all trades installers that do gutters and siding on the side window. installation teams do our windows year in year out and have done thousands of them anytime a homeowner has to deal with multiple home improvement companies get stuck in the blame game. yeah with other companies . if there's an issue, the manufacturer blames the installer. the installer blames the manufacturer with us. there's no finger pointing or blaming each other. we're both the installer and the manufacturer. is it easy for a homeowner to get a price? very easy. we'll come out to your house will assess your current patio door windows, and then we'll give you an exact price. that's good for an entire year. i said, that's great information . thank you before april 30th when you buy one window or door get the next 1 40% off. that's 40% off with a minimum purchase of four and our financing can help make this project more

national airport. this is cnn. the colorado river crisis has been years in the making. of course, consistent drought has pushed this key water source just to the brink will now new analysis shows that even with the record breaking snow and rain levels that we've seen this winter out west, the crisis is not over and in pain. it's painting a pretty grim picture of what a collapse of the river system could mean for many cities. cnn's lucy cavanaugh offices is looking at this and the analysis and what this all means from colorado for us right at the river. lucy, what do you learning. that's right, katelyn polantz powers the american west quenches the thirst of some 40 million people . it waters of farms that provide most of the nation's wintergreen also provides hydro electric power. and even though as you pointed out, we have seen record snow. you can even see
8:54 am
some of the snow still on the banks of the water body behind me, it's not enough to stop the colorado river crisis, which is why the federal government came out with this report, which sort of portrays three unpleasant options that the federal government may have to decide between if states don't come together and voluntarily make cuts, so option one that prioritizes the needs of thirsty farming regions in california at the expense of cities like phoenix, las vegas, which gets 90% of its water from the colorado river, as well as los angeles. remember that farming regions in california as well as native tribes are a higher priority use so they are able to use more water if they want to. the other options spread the pain evenly all around, which means everyone is going to have to make those painful cuts. that's probably going to get mired in lawsuits and option number three is literally to do nothing. that's not sustainable . no one's actually taking that option seriously because the water levels are continuing to lower to alarmingly low levels.
8:55 am
now we spoke to some residents, um in, uh, we spoke to some residents in colorado. pardon me in arizona, who have already lost access to drinking water, as well as farmers who have had to follow their land because of the drought. take a listen. i think everybody thinks the government or somebody's going to take care of it. and unfortunately, i think that's what most of the u. s is thinking. and they need to wake up and people need to start conserving water. now before it's too late. no one can produce it like the colorado river can for food. it's just nowhere on earth. is it done like that? so yeah. i'm really worried 50 years down the road unless we come up with solutions . farming won't be here. for them. the drought has already reality and that's in store for the rest of us if we don't figure out how to use less of this water, kate absolutely, lucy. thank you so much. i mean, it's kind of remarkable that it's wild, though, unsurprising that it's actually gotten to this point. so much so much more
