7:01 am
off a furious weeklong scramble to find the source of the leak. it also raises questions about who should be able to get access to classified documents. cnn senior national security correspondent alex marquardt joining us now from washington. hi alex. what more are you learning about jack teixeira? good morning, andrea and victor. well airman, first class jack to share as you say, 21 years old. he enlisted in the air national guard back in 2019 surround four years ago, and for the past two years he has held top secret security clearance. now, according to this unsealed affidavit that was unsealed in court yesterday, he has been posting classified information online. since december. at first it was just text that he was posting. but then, a month later
7:02 am
in january, he started according to the fbi, posting photographs of these classified documents that we have now seen. so these hundreds of documents have been online for months before they really came to light that was back on april 6th. that was the day the story broke. that was the day that the secretary of defense lloyd austin, got his a. and intelligence briefs for commanders. . i've
7:03 am
instructed department to make sure that they get to the root of why he had access in the first place. number one. and number two to focus extensively on the extent to which it all occurred. and that's going on right now. i have nothing to report beyond what's already been reported. to share his access really is not all that uncommon. but it does really shine a light on the fact that thousands of people in the u. s military do have access to extremely sensitive information to share now faces years in prison for putting this secret and top secret documents online . he will have a detention hearing in just a few days on wednesday. that will be the next time that we see him. alex marquardt. good to see you. thank you for that. our next guest says clearly too many people. all have access to too much top secret information. evelyn farkas is a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for russia, ukraine and eurasia. good morning and thank you so
7:04 am
much for joining us. so you made that comment in a new york times article, and i'm curious because as an it specialist essentially to share a had access to the network, as we heard from alex, where highly classified intelligence lived, and as i understand it, he also had top secret clearance not because he needed to access the information , but because it was part of his job to protect that network. should there have been away or was there a way to limit his access? yeah i mean, so thanks for having me on. i would say that there definitely needs to be a way to limit his access. you do have to give him top secret secret clearance so that in the course of his work if he comes across some information that's top secret that he knows that he's bound by law, you know , and that he is also trustworthy. i guess that's why you do as a clearance process that he can hold those secrets. in this case of the fact that he wasn't able to hold those secrets, it might have been mitigated if he wasn't able to
7:05 am
actually go in and get the documents. what i mean by that is in the course of his business, you know, maintaining these. i t systems you might have come across some intelligence and if he was not worthy of his intelligence clearance, which we now know, you know, willing to break the law and share this classified information. he might have only shared what he came across accidentally. but the problem is that apparently he was able to go and root around. you know all over the system and grab whatever information he wanted and use it like a social studies class for this group of hackers or this group of gamers, so that's that's the real problem that he had no need to know. you know, which is another standard that has been used yeah, in the intelligence community, and unfortunately doesn't seem to have applied here. the fact that to share was able to access these top secret documents, print them out, right and then take them home. you would think that there would be protocols in place when you have this kind of access that would have flagged that he was doing this right, especially for someone who is at
7:06 am
a lower level position. i think we have the technology probably to be able to monitor who's taking what and who's printing which documents? the other thing is, of course, the question of whether you need to do these things. and, you know, two people teams, you know, maybe this individual shouldn't be working individually. that of course, costs more money. if you're putting more manpower on monday and tasks, but that might be the price we have to pay if we're going to give him access to that level of information. i mean, i've been reading into this and clearly we see how vast most of the military and intelligence bureaucracy is right. and so there really is not going to be an easy fix, especially to prevent insider leaks from happening, but as you know, alex's mentioning thousands of american service members have top secret clearance. that's the highest level clearance there is, i mean , should officials start there and start weeding out the people who don't they don't think need this kind of access. i do think that we need to really look
7:07 am
closely and who has access and how they get access again. the other standard that needs to be applied as this need to know. do you need to know this classified information and, of course, your work. you know, when i sat in the pentagon, i had a terminal that was that could toggle between unclassified and then secret, but i didn't look at secret documents that didn't pertain to my work. why would i look at documents? you know, if i was working on europe, why would i look at documents necessarily. relating to another region or something else that the pentagon was doing like building a new submarine. that should that should be a red flag for someone. you know if you're looking beyond the scope of your immediate duties. and the other thing is, of course, this top secret system that didn't even exist on my desk. i mean, that's a very very sensitive system, and one would think that only the top decision makers should have access to the content on those on those servers. given your work with russia and ukraine, and from what you know what's in these classified documents that were leaked on
7:08 am
the social media site. what kind of damage do you think this leak has done thus far? well i think it's clearly done damage in terms of trust that our allies have that we can maintain the secrecy that we can maintain the information that they give us which then becomes classified as intelligence that they provide us as classified intelligence, especially the allies in what's now called the five eyes community basically coming out of world war two. canada united kingdom, australia, new zealand , and these are countries that have worked with us very closely . and so i think it does cause them to wonder whether they we can share information with us and certainly in writing that will damage our ability to have really good intelligence on things. so there is there is a danger there that maybe the silver lining is that you know this man will be prosecuted and everyone will understand this is no laughing matter. this is no joke. we're talking about the national security of the united states. we are talking about the
7:09 am
national security of the united states and potentially the lives of people who serve as well. evelyn farkas appreciate it. thank you very much. restrictions on the key abortion drugs that were scheduled to go into effect this morning have been put on hold, but only for a few days. justice samuel alito extended access to the abortion drug crestone, while the full court considers an emergency appeal found by the bad administration and a drug manufacturer. cnn's ariane de vogue has the story for us sorry on victor and aymara as things stand restrictions to accessing this key abortion drug are on hold for now. justice samuel alito stepping in and freezing a lower court opinion for now, to give the justices more time to get red in, uh, samuel alito said, in an order that the justices will make their decision when's day by midnight . this does not at all forecast how the court will ultimately rule it's just meant to give them some time to read the briefs get caught up. the biden
7:10 am
ministrations and the manufacturers of this drug argued that the lower court got it wrong in restricting access, they say if the lower court opinion is allowed to stand labeling on the drug drug will change. for instance, women will only be able to access it up to seven weeks of pregnancy instead of 10 weeks, women will also have to come in person to get it administered and not be able to receive it by mail. this will make it more difficult for women to be able to access the drug, and they want the supreme court to either step in and freeze the lower court opinion. while this appeals process plays out in the lower courts, or alternatively, they want the supreme court to step in now bypassed the lower courts take up the issue themselves and decided by this spring. abortion medication is the procedure that is most used by, um jor itty of women today.
7:11 am
the supreme court is going to consider a couple of factors do the doctors here who oppose abortion had the legal right to be in court. they'll consider the scope of the fda authority here when it comes to authorizing a drug like this. this all comes less than a year after the supreme court reversed roe v. wade and now the justices could further restrict abortion in the states that allow it. victor aymara, ariane. thanks so much, and president biden is also weighing in on the supreme court's decision. cnn white house reporter jasmine right, joining us now from rehoboth beach, delaware, where the president is spending the weekend. hi, jasmine. we know the white house had opposed the enforcement of the texas ruling are, they says, is the biden administration seeing this pause as a victory. well president biden was actually asked about this early this morning when he touched down in delaware after spending a week in ireland, and while he did not talk
7:12 am
specifically about the supreme court's latest action, he did talk about the texas ruling. really broadly. take a listen. i think it's outrageous what the court has done relatively they're going to overrule the fda. whether i think it's a man. but we'll see what happens. we'll see. so president biden's comment. they're i think they're out of their lane is very keep it because it hits out one of the department of justice and the drug manufacturers key arguments that they put toward the supreme court basically saying that they did not find that the anti abortion doctors that brought the suit actually had the legal standing to do so because they do not prescribe the medication, abortion drug and therefore they could not intervene on behalf of patients that have seen complications. not while we did not hear the president talk specifically about the supreme court pause we did hear from the administration earlier on friday in the white house. specifically they put out
7:13 am
a statement. i want to read you a part of it, they said. for now, mr per stone remains available in approved for safe and effective use the president and his administration. continue to stand by the fda is evidence based approval of medford, preston and we will continue to support the fda as independent expert authority to review approved and regulate a wide range of prescription drugs. now, the white house continued in that statement that right now in this moment, the stakes could not be higher and therefore they pledged to continue to fight to try to reverse this texas abortion ruling. of course, this has been a motivating things for democrats to focus on since obviously the supreme court overturned roe v. wade. last summer. now, of course, folks are going to be continuing to look at the white house for them to lay out what steps steps are next that they can take to try to safeguard access to abortion . living up to that promise, especially in this really heightened and really unpredictable time right now, victor amber jasmine, right near the president there in rehoboth beach, delaware. thanks so much
7:14 am

7:19 am
strike on this city yet here in this building. they have recovered nine bodies, including the body of a two year old child , he actually was pulled from the rubble still alive, but he died shortly afterwards in the ambulance, his father, according to the rescue workers here. they believe is still under the rebel . they were with a family that had left slovyansk earlier in the war, but it had returned because they thought it was safe . for now, the mayor's office tells us that at least 30 apartment buildings were damaged in this strike and more than 30. houses were also damaged. the rescue contained operation continues. they believe they're still more bodies underneath the rebel continue to dig. i'm ben
7:20 am
wedeman. cnn reporting from slovyansk in eastern ukraine. this morning, world leaders are calling for an end to the violence in sudan after fierce fighting erupted overnight and the country's capital. the clashes are between sudan's military and a group known as the rapid support forces that claims to have taken over the presidential palace. so far, the u. s embassy in khartoum says there are no plans to evacuate, but embassy staff there sheltering in place. cnn's larry madavo is following this situation for us. what's the latest there? victor aymara. what we're seeing is an escalation in a long running conflict in sudan between the sudanese armed forces in the very powerful paramilitary group, the rapid support forces . there's been reports of gunfire and shelling. and right now we're hearing of fighter jets patrolling the skies and cartoon. this has been going on for hours just after four pm in cartoon. and we speak to people who tell cnn they are in bankers
7:21 am
or hiding, afraid to go out because of this street fights, in some cases, five between the rapid support forces and the military. sudan has been under military rule since october, 2021 when the military took over , it is governed by this organization called the sovereign council. it is led by general albert han. who is the defacto leader of sudan, but his number two is the leader of the rapid support forces that is general committee who is supported by russia. their support forces us believable number in about 100,000, and there's a big conflict between the two of them over how they emerged one body and that's what we see playing out here. i want to read this tweet for you from the u. s ambassador to khartoum who only arrived last night, he said in a tweet and said i woke up to the deeply disturbing sounds of gunfire and fighting. i am currently sheltering in place of the embassy team as sudanese throughout khartoum and elsewhere, doing escalation of tensions within the military component to direct fighting is extremely dangerous, urgently call on senior military leaders to stop the fighting, and the ambassador picks himself up on
7:22 am
something that a lot of the other bodies condemning this, including russia, the african union and other regional countries pick up on the fact that they, sudan is very close to a deal to return to civilian rule. here's your secretary of state antony blinken. major parties in in khartoum. some. weeks ago reached a very important framework agreement on how to proceed with a transition to civilian government, and there's been real progress in trying to move that forward, but um. i think there's a real opportunity to move forward on the agreed framework. and certainly that's what we're strongly supporting. um it's a it's a fragile situation. fragile situation that we've received a statement even from the foreign minister of russia that says it's causing concern in moscow and calling on all the parties involved to show political will and restraint and take urgent steps to a ceasefire . the rapid support forces were
7:23 am
supported by russia. the leader general hamid t. used to be buttons man in sudan. but with the war in ukraine, and especially cnn's investigation of the use of sudanese gold to find russia's war in ukraine this big pressure for sudan to disavow its ties with russia. so this now appears to be hurtling very dangerously toward a full blown civil war in sudan. alright larry maduro reporting for us, larry thank you for that. the biden administration is taking on those they say are responsible for the influx of fentanyl coming into the u. s on friday, the doj announced federal charges against more than two dozen members of mexico's sinaloa cartel. sprawling indictment targeted people allegedly involved in all stages of the illicit drug trade from production to distribution . cnn's policy sandoval is following the story for us polos. some of the people charged include high level members of the cartel. victor. good morning. you've no doubt heard of joaquin el chapo guzman . but perhaps not so much about
7:24 am
his chappie toes or little chapo's. according to the department of justice. they are the sons of the important prisons in the lower cartel leader that quickly took at least partial control of chapo's drug organization after he was sentenced to prison for the rest of his life in 2019. i looked over the indictments were unsealed yesterday it mentions at least four of his sons. at least three of them believed to be essentially the tip of the spear when it comes to the most prolific fentanyl trafficking organization in the world, according to the federal government, we know that at least 23 defendants are named in the in the series of indictments , but also at least seven of them already behind bars, either here in the us or around the world with extradition proceedings pending but also a massive global organization, according to federal authorities . the drug enforcement administration using this visual to try to really drive that that point home of just how this massive fentanyl operation woodwork cartel associate brokers they would procure the
7:25 am
precursor chemicals in china. and then send them to clandestine labs in mexico. from there, the cartels would move fentanyl into the u. s where it was sold wholesale, and then it was criminal organizations in the united states, according to federal authorities that would then basically mixed this fentanyl into cocaine, heroin before resale, in some cases, even selling the fennel pills as counterfeit prescription pain medication here in the u. s and then those profits would then be laundered, eventually making its way back into mexico. basically funding this vicious cycle that has been ongoing for years, killing tens of thousands of americans. at least i want you to hear directly from the attorney general of the united states, as he explains why this case that was unveiled yesterday is so significant. the thing that makes this case particularly important is that we're going after the entire network from precursors to importation into mexico to the manufacturer to the weapons to the money launderers to the
7:26 am
distribution in the united states, but we this is just one, uh, of the most important cases we've brought. important but also extremely disturbing. attorney general carlin also setting examples in which the chip ito's would reportedly feed some of their rivals to some of their tigers that are alive. we've heard this before from authorities, however, not often that you hear this from the states from the government's top prosecutor really doesn't just scored just the viciousness of this organization. victor brutal tactics there. pull a stand up all appreciate it. thanks coming up to biden administration is proposing sweeping new car emissions standards, and it could dramatically change the auto industry. we'll discuss next. your best defense against erosion. cavities is strong enamel. nothing beats it. n new pron amel acactive shield activy shields the enamel to defend against erosion and cavities. i think that this product is a

7:33 am
these are these new standards are coming that americans are ready to make the move to e v. e how will the administration how will the market get them there? first of all. good morning, victor. the truth of the matter is that the consumer demand for electric cars has grown by like 360% since 2020. so i would say that it's numbers of about 50% of people willing to behind the electric car. it's big. that was not the case back in 2022 years ago, so we have seen an extraordinary growth when it comes to introducing electric cars in the u. s investment. mint and obviously, president biden was inflation reduction act. and the infrastructure bill is provided all these incentives and my right like the last since president biden came to the office, we have $120 billion
7:34 am
aren't being invested as we're speaking now to build electric cars to build batteries to build components, so i think things changing very fast. and don't forget that the industry the car companies are going to have to meet those requirements that, the president announced on wednesday there globally their global companies. and they have to invest that have made a commitment to invest $1.3 billion from now to chinese 30, so i think all the pieces are working together and this is going to and this is a very, very big deal for the country and the planet. margo when you say that electric vehicle sales have grown by 360% since 2020, we're still talking about relatively small numbers. this is, according to kelley blue book 5.8. 8% of all new vehicles were evey sold in 2022. now that's up from 3.2% in 2021. so
7:35 am
yes, a significant growth in a year, but we're still talking relatively small numbers of e v s being sold. there's also the question of the charging stations the electric grid being prepared for an influx. will there be the charging stations available so that people can drive long distances with these new e. v s. yeah victor, what happened before president biden ? there was an administration that basically was not willing to invest anything on electric power trade. not only that they really relax and kill president obama's programs that put in place when i was working for president obama. so we're behind. you know right now, china. has something like 30% of cars and electric europe. 22% we are at about include the plug in hybrids about 8% so there is no
7:36 am
reason why we as a country cannot be ahead of china and ahead of europe and we're getting there to convince the combination of the infrastructure bill. the massive investments that are coming from the inflation reduction act. uh and this is just, you know, specific regulatory programs that are put in place by prison by the industry support because they're investing. many of them like gm has made the commitment they will face out the sales of new ah gasoline and diesel cars by 2035. don't forget california 16 others that make up 40% of the car sales in the us are going there. so this is this is this is where behind absolutely the game. we have to catch up to be simple. doable to make some progress as you say, but as we
7:37 am
know that the top reason that many people say that they do not buy tvs is because the cost they cost too much. we expect that if there is more competition that those costs over the next eight or nine years will come down, margo okay, thank you so much for being with us, and we will be right back. ah no! oh had enough arthritis here as the cream arthrititis, huh? full prescription strength reduces inflammation. thank the gods don't think them too soon. pain in the aspirin cream hps you figh migraine attacks won't take a time out. oneose of you browbeat quickly stops migraine anhis tracks within two hours . do not take with strong inhibitors. most common side effects are nausea and tiredness about you remedy that anytime, anywhere. migraine medicine. so if you are moderate to severe crohn's disease are all sort of colitis. symptoms are stopping you in your tracks. do you still lara from the start and move toward relief after the first

organized the cartel wanted to seem. only walk when they're told to the stories here and many, but there is only one goal. america. and the dream is just that a reverent of hope of conviction that they will be the ones to make it. danger. disease dehydration deportation about this number every day every year, almost doubling. the darien gap has the only land corridor from south america, where entry is easier to its north, where it's not. there were no roads only 66 miles of treacherous jungle from colombia to panama and onwards north 3000 miles to the u. s border. we
7:43 am
walked the entire route of the darien gap over five days in february to document the suffering endured by people milk for cash by cartels and wanted by any country. what's startling is the sheer number of children on this track as it begins on a route. sometimes adult don't even survive. cnn's nick paton. walsh joins us now, nick, i've watched a few small clips of this program the whole story, this first installment and it is unbelievable. i don't think that i have ever seen the migration from south america to the u s. this way. what did you see? what are people going to see? tomorrow night? you'll see. uh two times. we hope an intimate portrait of families of real humans dealing with an incredible physical ordeal. physical torture to some degree extraordinary risk, dehydration
7:44 am
, lack of food, even criminals targeting migrants along the way , the huge risks that people put themselves through, often with their young children. now you may choose to judge about exposing your family to those risks, but what we felt and learned from that trip was that these are people who don't feel they have a choice who feel that they're putting themselves and those they love through this because the places they're leaving just intolerable or unbearable. and this year so far , the top four nations that made up migrants on the gap where haiti, venezuela, ecuador and china a real sign, i think, you know, we know that haiti and venezuela intolerable. ecuador clearly experiencing severe issues in the chinese and new group to emerge on this particular route. but these people coming from places where life is exceptionally hard and see you observe the depressing fact that they decided to take this risk. the fact that they are really being exploited by the cartel that runs this
7:45 am
voluntary but organized trafficking route. it's big. it's large on the colombian side . it's very structured and organized. people even have armbands, telling them which route they can walk on. and what they they're supposed to go. but within all that sort of cynical exploitation. there are extraordinary moments of hope that we see of people giving up what they can do, putting themselves at risk slowing down their own journey each day you spend puts you at greater risk. in order to help complete strangers. that's what's been edifying in all the darkness of this journey to see how there's this extraordinary generosity of spirit amongst migrants who are mothers, daughters, sons themselves and you get to observe that strength of human emotion and the good things about us as a species. so glad you make that note that there is a humanity to this right and just to see those images. i mean, it's remarkable the wave
7:46 am
of humanity just making what did you say? 66 mile journey and i saw some children in the video. they also take this journey and some are unaccompanied and alone. yeah that happens sometimes. i mean, the pointed out, they came across hundreds of unaccompanied children. over the whole of last year, we came across one young guy, a little kids, five years old wilson from haiti. he was separated from his parents because they've given him to a porter to help them carry him up. one of the harder climbs they were reunited. two days later. we saw them back together again. but some children do not have that. and it's hard to get to the bottom of exactly how some of these children end up on accompanied at the end. parents of them don't make it. that's true, certainly, but the numbers of children are devastating a record over 10,000 so far this year. that's just unimaginably large and last year set a record
7:47 am
for the volume of people doing this trick, but that record is looking like it's going to be destroyed this year by the massive number who already undertaking you in the first quarter of this year seven times as many people have already done the journey compared to the same period last year, and that puts potentially at the same rate of increase continues and over a million people could do this trick in this year alone. now. the us panama, colombia got to together last week put out a statement saying they were going to do something in the next two months to shut this down, but we felt ourselves. the shape volume of people in this jungle occasion meant they were traffic jams of migrants trying to get through chokepoints. it's extraordinary to behold, and i think i would hope to think a rare insight into the most pressing issue, possibly of our times. glad you did this report that you walked this treacherous road as well. um and i think it's something we need to see to see why they are doing this risking their lives for a chance at a better life. nick paton walsh. thank you very much. so

7:54 am
here for these areas are going to be large. hail the potential for damaging winds. and yes, maybe even an isolated tornado or two in the mix. hale is certainly going to be the biggest concern and most widespread and we're not talking small hail, say, like dimes or quarters that this point we're talking golf ball, maybe even his largest tennis ball size hail. another concern, too, is going to be the flooding because a lot of this area is very saturated and has more of those storms go over the same areas it could end up, triggering some flooding. all right, allison chinchar. thank you. and thank you for watching. there's much more ahead in the next hour of cnn newsroom for drinking woodfield is up next, but first , the e p a. this week proposed that within a decade, two thirds of all new cars sold in the u. s will be zero emissions or plug in hybrids. we discussed it a little earlier, one company in california hopes to get ahead of that, uh, curve. i don't know what that word is supposed to be, uh, there's a mix in the proctor packs of solar boost.
