7:01 am
just moments from now. washington's critical debt fight headstone wall street. in minutes. house speaker kevin mccarthy makes his pitch before investors as a high stakes deal with democrats stalls question at the center of all of this. can congress avoid economic disaster? we might all have to pay for the most important defamation trial in generations . just got delayed. word is fox news may now want to settle with dominion in this stunning 11th hour twist. the judge just spoke in the courtroom. we will tell you what he said. plus outcry. outcry for justice in kansas city, missouri, after a black teenage boy is shot in the head. he mistakenly simply went to the wrong home to pick up his little brother's. he's recovering in the hospital now these stories and more coming in right here on cnn news, central.
7:02 am
any moment now. house speaker kevin mccarthy will speak at the new york stock exchange is expected to outline a new republican proposal as the us debt crisis looms in a tweet. mccarthy says he will focus on the urgent need for a responsible debt ceiling increase. this could set the stage for a fresh round of talks between house republicans and the white house. right now. the gop want major spending cuts in exchange for a debt limit increase. democrats say that is a nonstarter. cnn chief congressional correspondent manu raju is on capitol hill for us and cnn chief business correspondent christine romans is standing by for us as well, man. i'm going to start with you . why is mccarthy on wall street instead of back in congress? this is the first day after their recess that they're all back and hopefully going to deal with this death. feeling. yeah it's sarah for the last 2.5 months. there's been absolutely no progress in washington to try to avert the first ever debt
7:03 am
default in u. s history in february, 1st. that's when joe biden met with kevin mccarthy in the white house. there have been no talks ever since, even though the two sides in both and say that the debt ceiling must be raised in order to avoid a default as soon as june or potentially his latest september . the exact date is uncertain. the white house has said all along that they don't plan to negotiate with the house republicans they want. the republicans are simply raise the debt. limit without any conditions whatsoever. that's the position rejected by kevin mccarthy, something he will reiterate later this morning and also behind the scenes, republicans in the house have been trying to draft their own plan put together roughly three trillion, potentially up to four trillion where there's budget cuts as well as revenue raisers to pair that, with a debt limit increase told behind the scenes . this proposal could come to the house floor as soon as may in this planet includes wants to return domestic spending levels to 2022 levels. be a significant cuts across the board in domestic spending. they do hope to get between 3 to $4 trillion
7:04 am
in savings as well as on covid 19 money that's just part of the proposals was efforts to try to rein in federal regulations. now this is the challenge for kevin mccarthy. he's convinced his own republican conference to vote for this plan because democrats are expected to vote against it . that means he would need to limit defections to four republicans at most in order to get this through the house, and it still has no chance of passing the democrat. stick led senate. mccarthy wants to demonstrate that they have their own plan and try to force the white house to the negotiating table before the potential of rattling wall street. the potential of economic gas, disastrous economic consequences if the debt ceiling is not raised. so expect mccarthy to lay out the stakes here in just a matter of moments, sarah. all right, manu. i'm going to go to christine. real quick. you know, you heard manu talked there about rattling wall street. that is where mccarthy is. what is his goal here talking to wall street or from wall street instead of at congress. trying to say we have a we have a plan here after really right weeks
7:05 am
now that the white house democrats have been saying, show us the plan. what's the republican plan here? the white house has been saying, we want to just raise the debt ceiling cleanly here because it's just too dangerous to risk unsettling the rest of the world by the united states playing brinkmanship with its full faith and credit. look we raised the debt ceiling. december 2021 congress did, we probably can get until this summer, but the deadline has already passed. i mean, the debt ceiling has been hit, and now the treasury art mint is moving the money around quite literally moving the money around accounts so that we can keep the bills paid until this gets settled, so the deadline is behind us. there's not even a countdown clock here. it's already rung. the bell has rung. so here's what happens. if they don't answer this very quickly. here you could have a debt default. the united states can't pay all of its bills, or even like a partial debt default, where we just pay our foreign creditors. but then we're giving. i owe us inside the united states. wouldn't that look really weak for the world's largest economy? you would have a market crash, probably a recession. there is no no debate about that. how terrible it would be then those moving, you
7:06 am
know, deciding who to pay and when you can see delayed pay for federal workers, you could see i o u s going to social security recipients and benefits. all of that. certainly feeding into that worry about a pretty dramatic, damaging recession. if the united states were to go down this path and not and not get the politics of this figured out. that is terrifying. the thought of i o u s going to social security recipients. many people who rely on that money for their day to day living manu raju. thank you so much on capitol hill and christine romans. we understand that mccarthy is speaking at this moment, we're going to monitor it and bring you some of what he says in just a bit. john washington comes to new york day, sarah because happening now. the republican led house judiciary committee, chaired by top trump ally jim jordans, is here in new york city, holding a field hearing that directly targets manhattan district attorney alvin bragg to republicans say the hearing will zero in on what they call brags, quote pro crime, anti victim policies, brags office calls it
7:07 am
all a political stunt. it does come just weeks after brag charge former president trump with 34 criminal charges in the hush money investigation. trump, of course, has pleaded not guilty with us now. cnn political correspondent sara murray awfully close to where we're standing now because the republicans have come here, sarah. so close but still so far away. john. things are already getting underway. we know jim jordan has been very critical of alvin brides, investigation and indictment of donald trump, and this is an opportunity for jordan's to really take it in brides face here on his home turf there featuring victims of violent crime and essentially arguing that brags decisions in prosecutions here are politically motivated. take a listen to some of what jordan had to say this morning. in this country. justice is supposed to be blind, regardless of race, religion or creed. however, here in manhattan the scales of justice are weighed down by politics. now when you look at
7:08 am
violent crime here in manhattan, it's down from its peak in the early 19 nineties, year over year, there has been a downward trend in some violent crimes. things like murder, whereas you've seen a slight uptick in things like grand larceny and look democrats are here today, pointing out that new york is not the center of violent crime in america that republicans really cared about violent crime. they would be focused on pushing forward more gun restrictions and then also pointing out that what republicans are really doing here is providing cover for former president donald trump. take a listen to a jury. now they're the top democrat on this committee had to say. jim jordan gauges in a lot of political theater in washington, but he should know better than to take his tired act to broadway. new york is see through this transparent attempt to defend donald trump at all costs while ignoring the real public safety needs of our community. now. i
7:09 am
love this year is probably going to stretch on for a couple more hours today, and this feud certainly between republicans and alvin bragg is going to continue. bragg has already sued jim jordan and the house judiciary committee, as the judiciary republicans have tried to seek information from brides office about the trump investigation, including testimony and documents, john alright, sarah, we know you're watching. keep us posted thanks very much. okay this morning. there is anger and a whole lot of questions. and kansas city, missouri black teenager was shot in the head this weekend while trying to pick up his younger brothers from a friend's house. police say he simply went to the wrong address. and when he rang the doorbell, the homeowner shot him. this is 16 year old ralph yara that we're talking about here. he's still in the hospital right now and in stable condition, and his family, though, is demanding that the homeowner who has yet to be identified, be arrested and charged. police. say the gunman was taken into custody after the shooting. but according to the kansas city police chief. missouri state law only allows a
7:10 am
person to be held up to 24 hours for a felony investigation at that point there either required to be charged or released, and the police chief says this, they still need a statement from the victim and more forensic evidence before an arrest can be made. there's a lot of moving parts in this and as i said a lot of questions, let's get over to cnn's camilla burnell, who's following all of this. what more are you learning this hour? camilla? hey kate. so thankfully, we know that ralph is okay, his family saying that is well physically and still recovering, though, but also saying that this is going to be a long road in terms of mental and emotional health. they describe him as friendly, well mannered. he loves music plays a number of instruments to family, saying he always has an instrument in hand. he was dreaming about going to west africa wanted to graduate high school. and now, the family says all of this is going to be so much harder just because he showed up at the wrong address
7:11 am
again. it's so important to point this out here he showed up at 115th street. he was supposed to be at 115th terrorists. and so the family now says. that they're thankful that he's alive , but they are demanding some answers here from authorities. here's his aunt. my nephew is alive. yes healing. it is not the story that that individual intended for us to tell. yes telling a story that is different from the stories that you normally hear. and this all happened on april 13th just before 10 pm you mentioned the homeowner was arrested. it was a neighbor who called police. he was held for those 24 hours, but because he was not charged. he was released and that's part of the reason why so many people are angry about this case. there are now civil rights attorneys representing the family. they say they want swift action
7:12 am
because they say, this is unjustifiably kate. camilla thank you very much. and sarah. i mean, there's an investigation . obviously there in the midst of it, but thank god he's alive. heartbreaking story for the family and community. thank you, kate. still ahead concerns about another surge of the us mexican border. its title 42 is set to end in just a matter of weeks will take you to our paso live. opening statements have been delayed in the high stakes defamation trial against fox news where outside of court with what we're learning about the 11th hour twist, and just a bit later, a fungus outbreak linked to michigan paper mill is now being connected to at least one death. we'll hear from one of the people in charge of that mill, where several employees have gotten sick. in a small to mediumum sized business, you may qualify for the employer retentioion tax credit up to $26,000 p per employee, not aloe . the money is yours if your

thing. story with anderson cooper sunday at eight on cnn. on our radar this hour. us helicopter raid in northeast syria targeted and killed in isis leader early today. authorities believe that the raids target was a senior leader responsible for planning terror attacks in the middle east and europe, and we have also learned the identity of a second victim in that mass shooting in dade ville, alabama. family members say. kiki smith was a senior in high school and was looking forward to attending the university of alabama. and more private companies have now announced they're partnering with the white house to expand access to electric vehicles uber zipcar there now among the latest to join and now to the high stakes media case between fox news and dominion. the historic defamation trial was abruptly delayed in the 11th hour last night and is now set to begin tomorrow. but there are rumbling spreading of a potential settlement. neither
7:18 am
dominion nor fox northern judge are commenting on whether that's happening. cnn's oliver darcy is in wilmington's delaware for us , oliver has the judge said anything about why there is this delay. yes some drama leading up to this trial. it was, as you said, expected to begin today in the courthouse right behind me, but it's no longer underway today. the judge delaying it till tomorrow. the judge. he held a hearing today where he announced this delay formally and he said, i want to read to you, he said. it's a six week trial. things happen. this is not unusual. this does not seem unusual to me. but the hearing was delayed or the trial was delayed amid reports that fox is pursuing a last minute settlements with dominion. the first report came in rupert murdoch's wall street journal last night, really, at the same time, basically, the judge announced instantly, so some speculation some rumors that potentially there could be some settlements announced at the last minute, which would have
7:19 am
course avert a very excruciating six week trial for fox news. you would see people like rupert murdoch have to come. before the court testify about why he allowed election lies on air in the wake of the 2020 contests when he knew those were not true , of course, it's possible that no settlement what happened and we will be back in court tomorrow. that's what the judge said to basically expect today that it will resume tomorrow, with jury selection being confirmed and then the trial moving forward with opening statements, but it does seem right now outside this courthouse that a lot is in the air, and no one really knows what to expect. the next 24 hours. we've got some reporting there were 40, plus boxes that dominion brought into court. um and then the case was delayed, so everyone is sort of wondering. what's going to happen next, but the judge is now saying tomorrow is a day we will wait and see. and i know you'll be watching all of that. oliver darcy there. thank you. so much live from wellington, delaware. john alright, sara. we are now less than one month away from the end of a controversial
7:20 am
border policy title 40 to the trump arab border measure, which allows us immigration officials to quickly expel migrants at the border that's set to expire on may 11th. thousands of migrants have already made the trek toward the border and are currently staying in northern mexican cities. waiting for the policy to end cnn's rosa flores is live at a shelter in el paso . rosa. why don't you tell us what you're seeing and hearing their. well, we're hearing from communities all across the u. s southern border that they are bracing for the lifting of title 42. i want to show you what it looks like here in el paso right now, because this is a shelter, and you can see that there are migrants waiting outside the shelter from talking to the priest. he says that the shelters at capacity take a look at video that we shot earlier this morning. you can see that there are several dozens sleeping outside in this l paso street. now this is very near
7:21 am
downtown, and you can see all those individuals there. the priest that runs the shelter says that he hasn't seen this since january. now the border patrol chief has been sounding the alarm about this on twitter. take a look at some of the videos and still pictures that the border patrol chief posted on twitter and those are very large groups of migrants that are turning themselves into border authorities, according to the chief, he said on twitter that the migrant encounter daily average is at about 1400 again. that is the daily average. now we are very close to the end of title 42 to 42 scheduled to end next month and i've been talking to officials on the mexican side of the border as well. and advocates and they say that in for northern mexican cities are more than 24,000 migrants waiting for the lifting of title 42. that's just in tijuana tomorrow, and that what is which is across the border here from el paso? i talked to the mayor
7:22 am
there, and he says that migrants are arriving every day. take a listen. everything every day. many of them are arriving. most of them. from brain but also arrived from planes. now as we take another live look, this is the alley that's behind that church. you can see that people are still sleeping out here. city officials in the city of el paso also preparing for the worst. i talked to them. they say that one of their biggest concerns as shelter. take a listen. we just don't have enough shelter space in our community. but we know that sheltering is going to be critical because there's just so many people if you're receiving 1000 people a day. you can struggle. you start getting above that it strains our transportation system. the
7:23 am
department of homeland security says that the bite administration has launched a comprehensive immigration plan that is sufficient. that is fair that allows for migrants to enter the united states legally to things like a cbp one app. that's an application that can be used for migrants to set up appointments online to enter through ports of entry, but i, you know, john, one of the things that i can tell you from reporting from both sides of the border. what the net effect of these policies really look like is a valve. imagine a valve that allows the federal government to regulate the flow of migration into the united states, and that has thousands of migrants waiting in mexico for the lifting of title 42. john you've done so much wonderful reporting from the border there, and we could be at the cusp of another turning point. thank you so much for the work that you've done. okay florida man is headed back to prison. today. he was released after serving more than 33 years for a murder. he says he did not commit. an appeals court now says that he should

welcome back to cnn news central . here's a look at some of the stories we're tracking for you this morning happening right now. house speaker kevin mccarthy, speaking at the new york stock exchange, focusing on the urgent need for a debt ceiling increase. his speech could set the stage for fresh round of talks between house republicans and the white house sources are telling cnn house republican leaders are moving behind the scenes to try and rally their caucus. behind the plan that would raise the debt ceiling for one year with a handful of strings attached, john a florida man is expected to turn himself in heading back to prison today after serving more than three decades from murder. he says he did not commit 65 year old crosley green has been fighting for his innocence since he was first charged with murder in 1989 green was allowed to leave prison on conditional release in 2021. after his conviction was overturned in 2018, a judge ruled prosecutors had improperly
7:30 am
withheld evidence it did not explore all possible suspects. cnn's carla suarez is following this story for us, carlos why is he going back to prison? well john, the 65 year old is going to have to turn himself into authorities here in orlando later today because essentially he has run out of an appeals process. the supreme court earlier this year said they were not going to take up his case. as you mentioned 65 year old crossley greed has been on conditional release since 2021. at the federal judge ruled that prosecutors here in the state of florida withheld some evidence in his 1990 murder case. that judge overturned that life sentence and essentially told the state of florida look, you can either retry green or you've got to let him go. the state of florida decided to appeal that decision to a federal court of appeals. and while that process played out green was allowed to
7:31 am
go home that federal court of appeals came back and said, look , green has to finish out his life sentence, which is why he is going to turn himself in later today, that really only leaves the 65 year old with two options at freedom we're talking about going before a parole board here in the state of florida or clemency. now we spent a part of green's final weekend as a free man. here's what he told us about his mindset going into today. i can't be angry with no one i don't want no one else to be angry. no. one angry. gonna take you nowhere. do harm you. i'm happy now. i'm not happy about going back. but i'm happy. yes stand said. i'm happy because i got my wife, my future wife. i got my friends that came along up here with me today and here right now i got my family. so we reached out to florida's attorney general's office on
7:32 am
exactly why green should be incarcerated and ashley moody's office told us in a statement that read quote. the florida attorney general's office is charged by statute to represent the state of florida and upholding judgments and sentences sought by state attorneys in each circuit. and imposed by trial courts when they are appealed. green's attorneys tell me that they're going to start the process before trying to get before parole board in the coming months now when it comes to clemency, that discretion is really up to florida governor ron desantis as well as two of the three cabinet members and one of those cabinet members that would also have to sign off on clemency. is florida's attorney general. guys. alright carlos suarez for us in orlando . what a process! what a remarkable story, carlos. thank you very much, kate. technical troubles are forcing space extra call off today's much anticipated launch of the largest and most powerful rocket ever built. the starship rocket

7:34 am
officials will have to figure out this pressure pressurization issue within the rocket system before they can launch. but you know, this is a vitally important rocket system for elon musk and for spacex. for those of you who haven't been following that this has a lot to do with this is the rocket system that it will eventually be part of the artemis program ferrying nasa astronauts to impact from the moon, also carrying large amounts of cargo that will be needed to not only just go to the moon but also to propel space travel to mars. that is the grand goal that is in play here. but right now, spacex officials dealing with this setback of having describe the launch this morningmoments d to take off. okay. thank you. so much for the update. and sarah, we wait now for the next launch . would you go? yes me too. let's go together, we would be that would create so many people . so many people would love that. i agree. alright now to

the public. the army disputes report that rebels have taken over army headquarters in khartoum. almost 100 civilians have been killed in renewed fighting in sudan. taiwan is disputing a report in the washington post. that report said taiwan was highly vulnerable to chinese air attack . taiwan's defense ministry says that's just not factual. and a record amount of cocaine worth almost $440 million has been found floating in the mediterranean off the coast of sicily. authorities believe the floating packages were left by a passing cargo ship to be retrieved by drug runners. okay. prominent human rights advocate in russia has now been sentenced to 25 years in prison for speaking out against the war in ukraine, lawyers for vladimir kara murza to say that he will appeal the sentence that was just handed down by the moscow city court. cnn's claire sebastian is tracking this for us from london. claire what justification are they giving for this sentence? okay. we have
7:41 am
not heard any justification beyond the charges themselves. three of them, including treason , spreading false information about the russian army that, of course, a new law that came in after the invasion of ukraine and involvement with a undesirable organization as it's called, so those charges they had asked for a maximum of 25 years. the maximum is what they got. the lawyer for vladimir kara murza, pointing out outside court that if they had been following the letter of the law. they couldn't have got the maximum because there are mitigating circumstances like the fact that he's the father of three children, all of them minors. as for vladimir, kara murza himself, he appeared fairly calm in court today. and by way of explanation for that, kate, i want to read you part of his final statement to the court a week ago, he said. i stand by every word i have spoken and every accusation that has been leveled against me, and i only blame myself. for one thing,

the adviser match quiz now at smart asset .com was this close? it's close to roger on capitol hill, and this is cnn. new research this morning shows the trauma of gun violence in the us extends well past the survivors in their communities. it is taking a toll on the nation's mental health. cnn's jacqueline howard has the details here, jacqueline, what are you learning? well john, i can tell you sometimes after mass shooting events, mental health crisis lines tend to see an increase in calls or text messages related to gun violence , and one example of this is one study looked at the number of text messages sent to a crisis lifeline that involved mentions of gun violence the day after the you baldy, texas shooting, and in this study, the researchers said that they typically would forecast maybe a number of 77 text messages. in
7:49 am
that category. the day after you , baldy, they saw 159 text messages, so there was an increase, and we also know that many americans across the country experienced gun violence firsthand. the kaiser family foundation survey found that nearly one in five adults say a family member was killed by a gun that same survey. also found that about one in six adults have witnessed someone being shot so we can only imagine john the mental health toll that that has had on those many people across the country. john studies get to what people are seeing and feeling, jacqueline. how is this affecting behavior? what are we seeing there? yeah well, john we also in that same survey found that most adults 84% say that they have taken precautions to reduce their risk of gang violence themselves and for their families, so that same survey found 84% of adults say that they have talked to their
7:50 am
kids about gun safety. they may have purchased a weapon themselves, they may be avoiding crowded areas or public transit places where they typically would go, but now they're avoiding them. because of this risk of gun violence we are seeing. people making changes in their everyday lives because of sadly at the toll that gun violence has had on this country , john so concerned they have to change the way they live. jacqueline howard, thank you. for that report. sarah alright new developments this morning and a deadly fungal outbreak linked to a michigan paper mill . officials now say one person has died and there are 97 confirmed or probable cases of what is called blast on my co sis. all of the cases have been in michigan's delta and the nominee counties. the infection is caused by the fungus. blessed oh, mrs. it lives and mostly moist soil. soil and decomposing what in leaves, and you can get it simply by breathing in the microscopic fungal spores. joining us now is brian peterson
7:51 am
. he's the vice president operations at the paper mill there. i think that he is with us, although he may not be can you hear us? you're there, okay ? yes, i can hear you just fine. yes thank you so much for joining us. we really appreciate it. can you tell me we know that one person has died? have you been in contact at all with the contractors family? we have. i have not been contract contact with the contractors family. we got news of that from the county last week, and we are just now getting involved in the investigation when he worked in the mill, um, in the last this year what he was doing in the middle, as far as work goes that kind of stuff. so we're cooperating with the investigation at this point. do you know how people are getting sick? there are now some 100 confirmed cases somewhere around 97 to 100 confirmed cases. do you know how they're getting it?
7:52 am
unfortunately we don't since we were first told of this from county health and march 3rd. we put a full court press on trying to understand it. and as you said, blaster maiko sis is in in wet soil. it's our understanding from talking to the cdc. there's no real other studies even close to this and industry. so we've invited a variety of experts were working towards the root cause we invited niosh in to do what's called the health hazard analysis, which they got the first phase of that done, and we're working through those recommendations. um the next round of cleaning. we've decided to idle the mail to do. it's just too disruptive and there's too much risk to try to do the clean with people in the middle. so we years this morning are almost done. eileen the mill and we'll commence with that cleaning. okay so you've idled the mill. you're trying to clean to make sure these spores aren't in the air for people to get sick. can you give me some sense of how the other 97 or so people are doing and what some of their symptoms might be? have you learned that in your investigation? okay? well i'm
7:53 am
not an expert in blasphemy coast this although i'm getting there fairly quick, so i would encourage you to talk to the cdc about all the symptoms because it can be quite broad. but we've had, um you know people with very mild symptoms, taking, taking medication and working just fine up to, including you talked about the fatality, so it's a wide range. it has slowed down here in the last couple of weeks, as far as number of new cases go, but we're taking this with the utmost seriousness that to go ahead idol and um, and get get what we know. are these complex mostly around like ventilation systems, things like that which are very hard to clean and bigger buildings and areas where people were affected. i gotta ask you. this is the first time i have heard about this. and i know you know it exists in the world. but has this ever happened? have you ever heard about this happening at the plant at the mill before? no i have never heard personally of any outbreak. uh like this,
7:54 am
you know it is it is native to this part of the world. i can't say there's never been one. but for sure, there's never been an outrage like this, um, in this mill or or any mail that we've been able to find. and is there any sense that you believe that the spores were, you know, in sort of wet paper or sort of some of the some of the items in the mill or is this coming from the outside in? um. talking to the cdc and niosh because it's where it is originates from in its airborne with, you know, we believe it had to come from outside somehow and then got into the air. i mean, if i look at all the affected cases or the affected people and employees, and then you start to map out where they work, you're you're really trying to understand where or what is in common with all these employees or contractors? you know where have they been in common, so we can try to get the root cause and that's really pushed this towards you know the areas that we're going to clean. this is people's work. this is how people make a living at the mill
7:55 am
. can you give us some sense of when the will mill will be back, fully functioning and safe enough for people to return? um you know, right now we're planning up to three weeks to get the cleaning done and we think we can get that done. it's a very dynamic and evolving situation as you know, and so we have people as we're just getting the middle finished up idle this morning. we have experts that we worked with niosh to get in the middle for the cleaning, and we'll learn a lot as we go here in this next next few days. brand peterson. thank you so much for coming on explaining this. it is a really interesting and sad situation that's happened there at the mill with your employees. i appreciate your time, kate and in answers and also calling for justice after police say a simple mistake led to a teenager being shot and the homeowner who pulled the trigger released from police custody. we're going to speak to attorney ben crump. who's representing young ralph y'all, darryl and his family next. there's always a first
