welcome to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brian hooper ahead on cnn newsroom president joe biden is expected to announce his officially running for a second term next week ahead. we'll look at what led to his decision, plus with sudan on the brink of all out civil war, one side announces yet another ceasefire to coincide with the end of ramadan. but there's no guarantee the fighting will stop and as nato's top leader visits kiev presidents, lynskey says it's time for ukraine to join the alliance. from cnn center. this is cnn newsroom with kim bruun hoover. well, what has long been an open secret will soon become official. us. president joe biden is planning to seek a second term is advisors say the campaign launch is expected to happen as early as next week, likely on tuesday , biden is already the oldest person to serve as president and

would be just weeks away from his 82nd birthday. should he win a second term. the question is do voters want him in charge for another four years, senior political analyst ron brownstein weighed in with some of the obstacles. president biden will face serious what we saw in 2022 was unprecedented in the history of exit polling, there was historically large number of voters who said they were unhappy with the way the economy was going and also in historically large number of voters who said they disapproved of biden's performance who voted for democrats anyway, because they viewed the republican alternative at that point is too extreme, and that is a dynamic that kind of keeps them in the game, even though his approval rating is at a level that historically you would say would be would be difficult. for an incumbent president. i mean, they believe that they have a formula that will allow them to improve a few points. among those swing voters working class swing voters in those key rust belt, midwestern states and that

trump or desantis, or almost anyone that republicans nominate will solve the problem of generating a lot of enthusiasm among younger voters in particular, who have never been entirely wowed by by joe biden. and malays felt by some democrats is a factor in why the announcement is likely coming soon. biden camp says it'll take work to energize voters about the president's policies and the prospect of a second term. cnn's phil mattingly reports from the white house. for months, president biden's top advisers have privately made clear he is going to run for re election in 2020 for what they wouldn't make clear what exactly he was going to announce that the president repeatedly saying he intended to run and ireland last week, saying that he had made the decision and announcement would be forthcoming soon. but when it was very much something that people couldn't repeatedly figure out very small group of advisers in control of that timeline of that process of building a reelection campaign campaign officials now say, is

likely to be announced next week next week, marking the four year anniversary from when president biden launched his first campaign for presidency to defeat donald trump. he was successful in that endeavor, and in the years since he has these, based on the view of white house officials, based on the president's political advisors built a very real very substantive agenda, legislative accomplishments, accomplishments that are now being implemented. cross the country and that more than anything else. so they say the president is going to be focusing on in the months ahead. the model is kind of out in the open, the president has been making very clear those priorities. these accomplishments and also a very clear contrast between republicans that he knows he will certainly be running against whether or not that's donald trump or somebody else. advisors don't necessarily want to weigh in, but they feel confident that based on that agenda, and based on those contrasts, they have a winning formula. but it's a formula that will certainly take developing over time. and they also underscore when you talk to white house officials and the president's political team that this will be a year of building building up on their campaign.

whether or not that's the president's travel, how they try and focus things but also building behind the scenes. the infrastructure of the campaign has largely been put together behind the scenes over the course of the last couple of months, but they will spend 2023 testing digital strategies. testing data strategies, testing voter messages and watching the republican primary play out, and that last point is a critical one because it was one of the drivers behind the president's decision to wait until next week to launch that campaign. recognizing that there's no real pressure on the democratic side from any potential primary opponent, there's a recognition that the president was likely to run again. and certainly there was plenty of fighting that they were happy to watch from the sidelines. on the republican side of things, but now the president ready to engage major donors are expected in washington at the end of next week to meet with the president's senior team. this is all building towards what people knew it was coming. i just didn't know when. the wind appears to be next week. phil mattingly, cnn. the white house.

meanwhile, conservative talk radio host larry elder is the latest canada to enter the republican race for president. he said his top issues include securing the border and pushing back against the concept of systemic racism in the us. he also criticized the lack of fathers and families. elder will speak at the iowa faith and freedom coalition this weekend. his last foray into politics was his unsuccessful attempt to unseat california governor gavin newsom during the recall effort two years ago. we're keeping a close eye on the situation in sudan, where the paramilitary rapid support forces has announced a 72 hour pause in fighting to coincide with the al fitr holiday. no word from the head of sudan's army on whether his forces have agreed to the temporary truce to previous ceasefires have collapsed within hours and unlivable to stop the clashes between rival military factions. the world health organization reports more than 330 people have been killed. many residents of the cattle cartoon have been struck in their homes for days without

electricity, medicine, food and water are running low, and it's getting more difficult for people in the besieged capital to flee. the international airport has been closed for days and bus tickets out of khartoum. five times more expensive than usual. one. secretary general antonio guterres is urging both sides to stop the fighting. here he is all parties to the conflict are muslim. you are leaving a very important moment in the muslim calendar. i think this is the right moment for the ceasefire to hold and this is fire is absolutely crucial at the present moment. us secretary of state antony blinken says he's speaking with both military leaders in sudan, urging them to uphold a ceasefire with the u. s military is making plans to get americans out just in case cnn's oren liebermann reports from the pentagon. the defense department has positioned a number of additional forces near sudan and

a number of additional capabilities in the event of an emergency situation and in preparation for different contingencies. according to dod . some of those contingencies include the need to secure the embassy and perhaps the need to evacuate the embassy. now. the defense department won't say what additional forces or where , but we've learned from the u. s defense official that there are now several 100 marines in djibouti at camp lemonnier. those marines have an aviation combat element with them, essentially, aircraft that can move maria beans and other ground forces in if necessary, and those forces could be used again, both to secure the embassy and to evacuate if needed, given the situation, the u. s. and that includes the state department, the defense department and the white house are watching the situation in sudan and in khartoum very closely. according to d. o d records, there are only about 14 troops based there, including 13 marines, and those would largely be embassy security in khartoum in the capital of sudan to move those out to secure them. it will take many more for season. this is why we're seeing that build up in djibouti in terms of

when an evacuation might happen, a senior u. s official says it's not imminent. and that's because they're looking for an open window and active ceasefire that holds between the two warring factions here. the best chance for that the senior u. s official says might be the upcoming needle fitr holiday in the coming days, and that's what they're looking at again. that's not a guarantee it is simply the best window. it looks like the evac might be possible. oren liebermann, cnn at the pentagon. a stormy thursday across the middle of the country. there have been more than 120 storm reports stretching from texas to michigan. most of those reports were hail and high winds. one tornado was reported in tyler, texas. the threat moves a bit east on friday. severe thunderstorm watches remain across parts of texas and louisiana. flash flood warnings are up in parts of texas. flooding around austin prompted a number of water rescues thursday night. flights bound for austin were halted for a time because of severe storms. all right. we have some updates

stilton versus visit, saying that keeping ukraine out of nato remains one of its military goals. cnn's ben wedeman reports ukraine is closing ranks with nato even without a membership. a blunt message to moscow, the head of the north atlantic treaty organization, keeve, demonstrating the military alliances firm support for ukraine, even though it's not yet a member. nato stands with you today. tomorrow and for as long as it takes. secretary general jens stoltenberg is the first nato representative to officially visit ukraine since the start of russia's full scale invasion. you impressed once thought of as too provocative given president vladimir putin's warnings against the black creeping ever closer to russia expressed strong support. but

kiev says it's looking for even more than this type of close cooperation. nation with nato, you support from nato allies and support with weapons, but we want to know when ukraine will be in nato now promised that the topic will be quote. high on the agenda. july's nato summit in lithuania and emphasized the more than $160 billion of support already delivered to ukraine. allies are sending more jets, tanks and armored vehicles , but ukraine says it needs security guarantees. national fitness, and we need something more than the kind of relationship we are having now, even still that relationship in nato's broader alliance are undoubtedly stronger since russia's war began representing a major blow to putin. stoltenberg's visit comes just a few days after putin visited russian troops occupied areas of

southern and eastern ukraine. his own attempt to display strength at a time when the conflict enters a critical stage in wedeman, cnn kiev. more western tanks will be headed to ukraine, but not in time for its expected counter offensive this year. denmark and the netherlands say they will jointly donate 14 leopard tanks to kiev, but they won't arrive to ukraine before early next year so they can't take part in the expected ukrainian counterstrike. uganda is closer than ever to adopting anti lgbtq plus legislation that's among the harshest in the world. the ugandan ruling party says the president congratulated lawmakers on thursday over the bill's passage, but then sent it back to parliament for amendments. it's expected to be finalized next week. the president in principle, congratulated the members of parliament on two fronts. one for the strong stand. on the

anti almost sexuality bill. and two for rejecting pressure. from the imperialists. the draconian legislation has triggered worldwide outrage with some of the loudest condemnation coming from the european union, which voted on thursday to condemn the bill. the proposed ugandan bill imposing death penalty for consensual same sex relations is simply horrific. that's for being who we are death for loving another person that the majority doesn't think you should have the right to love and this law doesn't take one step doesn't take 10 steps but countless steps back into what feels really like middle ages. the proposed criminalization of human homosexual people tramples human rights in such a way that it's really unbearable. major corporations have also spoken out against the bill, which would impose the death penalty

for those deemed guilty of so called aggravated homosexuality . cnn's stephanie sorry looks at the anti gay legal action in uganda and across the region. in much of africa. the lgbtq community is living in fear following their heart could cost them their lives. i cannot control myself. i cannot pretend what i'm not. i don't even know if i'm really safe. in recent months, east africa's lgbtq laws have been a topic of global conversation. in march, uganda passed a harsh anti lgbt q bill. within the text of severe punishments for those who engage in quotes, aggravated homosexuality if found guilty, individuals would be sentenced to death while supporters in parliament celebrated stop. many around the world mourned the decision. human rights are universal. no one should be

attacked, imprisoned or killed simply because of who they are or whom they love. western leaders condemned the bill, a coalition of businesses amongst them. microsoft and google warned that the move could damage the regional economy. uganda isn't alone. a group of tanzanian mps are also calling for tougher laws on lgbtq citizens. at the same time, kenya has made one step towards equality. the supreme court moved to allow the registration of groups that represent lgbtq interest. still some lawmakers say they will work to overturn the decision. this judgment. this ruling should actually be reexamined through a review and if the review is denied rests, assured as a house, we will move to outlaw everything they have done because we have power to do so. our laws are quite clear. our penal code still has outlawed. issues to do with

homosexuality. while the supreme court ruling is a victory for the lgbtq community, it hasn't been without consequences. the activist group at the center of the ruling says it has received a spike in calls related to assaults, threats and discrimination, according to the group. numbers rose from 78 in january. 2 367 in march of this year. but the spite some acts of violence, kenya is generally viewed as a safer space for members of the lgbtq community. same sex relations and marriages are illegal, but the law isn't regularly enforced a rare reprieve for community fighting for justice and equality. stephanie, but sorry, cnn. women in the us are waiting to hear from the supreme court as it decides the fate of an abortion drugs in the case that could affect reproductive rights details on what's at stake right

back to all of you watching us here in the united states, canada and all around the world. i'm kimberly hooper. this is cnn newsroom, the u. s. supreme court is expected to decide in the coming hours whether to take up the case of the abortion, drug mifepristone or to uphold a lower court ruling, which placed restrictions on the drug and rolled back food and drug administration approval, which was granted more than 20 years ago. kristen is used in the majority of abortions in states that still provide access in the us as we wait the supreme court decision, it's important to note that the drug is approved more than 90 countries worldwide with last year's supreme court ruling that overturned roe v. wade and now with the abortion drug on the chopping block, united states seems to be out of step with the rest of the world on this issue, so joining me now to discuss this from lisbon, portugal is kelly blanchard, president of the nonprofit research group. ibis reproductive health. thanks so much for being here with us, so no other country that's approved

the drug has ever rescinded it when it comes to reproductive rights. many countries um you know, might have looked to the u . s. as a role model. all of that now seems to be in question. thanks so much for having me and yeah, yes. the u. s is completely out of step with its recent restrictions on abortion broadly and now this attack on mifepristone and personal and as you mentioned it's approved in over 90 countries medication. abortion is safe and effective. we have decades of data proving its safety. millions of people have used it. um and it's endorsed by the world health organization. it really all of us should have the right to access the abortion care that we need and want. so i mean, if it is banned the effects of that would more people here in the us possibly turn to other countries for these drugs like like india or mexico, for instance. well, i

think we're seeing since the dobbs ruling and the increase in restrictions across the u. s a number of ways that people are trying to access care, either by traveling to a different state by accessing pills through different online. outlets vehicles. um and but we also knew that since the dobbs ruling, tens of thousands of people have not been able to access the care that they have wanted, so this would be just a further non evidence based restriction on people's access to safe and effective. abortion care. yeah i know that in some countries, even though mifepristone is approved, access can be very difficult for a variety of reasons. so they just use misoprostol, different drug a. in fact that's the norm in some countries, so medical abortion here in the u. s, even if kristen was banned would still be possible. but what are the disadvantages of using the

other drug? the world health organization endorses both approaches to medication abortion. so as you mentioned either medford crestone and by surprise estelle or my suppressed alone, both are safe and effective, but again, the safety record of medford kristen is so strong. we have so much evidence on its safety and effectiveness. there is absolutely no reason that it shouldn't be available. um as you said, in some places, there are some countries medford, kristen is not registered or costs can be a barrier. and my surprise hostel only is a very good option for medication abortion, but there's again that's no reason to take medford per stone off the market in the united states. it's this is just a completely non evidence based attack and another attempt to roll back access to abortion in the united states. looking at the wider situation in many other countries. statistics suggest restrictive abortion laws don't lead to fewer abortions, they just lead to

more unsafe abortions in the u. s you know, it's done a lot of work in developing countries to try to prevent women from self managing their abortions outside of a formal healthcare settings . so but many american women now may feel they have no other choice. well. women themselves can manage abortion on their own with medications with for christine and me as a prostitute or miso processed alone that is safe and effective, but again, everyone should have access to high quality care and the choice of evidence based care. and so whether that means medication abortion from a clinical setting or procedure, abortion in a clinic or self managing your abortion at home. all of those are safe and effective options, and all of them should be available. two people everywhere . anyone who seeking needs or wants abortion care? yeah, i guess. but if those drugs aren't necessarily available, then they might take other more dangerous means. that is my point. that's

absolutely right. there's these drugs are safe and effective and should be available to people so they can use the evidence based options to self manage their abortions. exactly all right, we'll be watching for that supreme court decision coming later today. appreciate your expertise on this issue. kelly blanchard, thanks so much for joining us. thank you so much for having me. myanmar's military junta launches horrifying airstrikes on a village claiming to be targeting terrorists, but among the dead dozens of women and children want the grim details ahead on cnn newsroom. all across the country. people are working hard to build a betteter future, so we're hard at w work, helping tm achieve financial freedom. we're investing for our clients, projects that power our economy. from the plains to the coasts. we help americans invest for their future. and help

, at least for now. for actor alec baldwin. prosecutors in new mexico say they're dropping charges against him in connection with the deadly shooting on the set of the movie rust this after new facts emerged in the case, cnn's chloe miller's has the latest so my only question is, am i being charged with something? baldwin soon will no longer be accused after new mexico prosecutors plan to file a motion dismissing involuntary manslaughter charges against the actor call quote temporary pending further investigation. baldwin reacted on instagram, posting a photo of his wife saying, quote i owe everything i have to this woman into you, luke, his attorney, you were in the room when the lady wants the gun. yeah. baldwin admitted to holding the gun. that fired a bullet killing helena hutchins, the cinematographer on baldwin's film rust, but told police he did not know he was handed a

loaded gun. baldwin resumes filming on rust this week with production moved to montana. this was baldwin last year. someone is responsible. for what happened and i can't say who that is, but i know it's not me. the dismissal is a win for baldwin's legal team, which challenged the motives and politics of one of the original prosecutors. it doesn't matter if he's a liberal democrat, and i'm a conservative republican. my job has always been to prosecute crimes. in february, baldwin's lawyers filed a motion to remove special prosecutor andrea riebe, who at the time of the investigation, was running for state representative in new mexico. in an email later revealed in the new york times, reeves suggested being involved in the case. quote might help in my campaign both read and the district attorney who hired her ultimately recused themselves. their replacements dropped the charges against baldwin, his attorneys saying they quote encourage a proper investigation into the facts and circumstances of this tragic accident. is

there live animal that's kept on set. no. never the film's weapons handler, hannah gutierrez. reed is now the sole defendant in the case. 18 months for involuntary manslaughter. her attorney says she will plead not guilty and that gutierrez read quote has been emotional about the tragedy but has committed no crime. are we really supposed to feel bad about you, mr baldwin, helena hutchins husband has been a vocal critic of baldwin, saying he should face charges. the idea that the person holding the gun . causing it to discharge is not responsible is absurd to me. but now justice for helena hutchins moves forward without a star defendant and she was great at her job and she died and she died and that's that hurts me. every day. prosecutors released a lengthier statement thursday evening revealing that this move to dismiss the charges is only temporary, pending a further investigation. so cnn has reached out to alec baldwin's legal team for further comment.

the attorney for hannah guterres , read the armor on rust has spoken out, saying in a statement to cnn that they believe that she, too, will have her charges. dismissed and be fully exonerated. now a preliminary hearing is set for may. 3rd in the trial is expected to begin this summer, and we will just have to see what the d a ultimately decides back to you. some legal experts aren't surprised the charges against alec baldwin were dismissed. cnn's senior legal analyst silly, honig says the actor isn't getting any special treatment because of his celebrity status. here he is. this case was wildly overcharged the most serious charges they brought against alec baldwin initially was a firearms charge that was not on the books. at the time of this incident. you cannot do that they had to dismiss that charge, so it's no surprise, given the pattern of prosecutorial incompetence we've seen throughout. i do not think alec baldwin is getting any kind of special preferential treatment here. if anything, it could be that he was singled out because he's a high profile names. sometimes prosecutors

trying to advance their own names and their own political futures will do that. but i think if you just substitute out alec baldwin and make this an anonymous person on a movie set someone who was unknown. i do not think that the charges would have ever justified. involuntary manslaughter charges like alec baldwin faced the race is on to keep the u. s government from defaulting on its debt, and the republican house speaker is proposing at $1.5 trillion increase in the debt limit in exchange for deep cuts in domestic spending. cnn's chief court congressional correspondent, madam raju has details. kevin mccarthy is reaching a critical moment after months of internal negotiations to put together a debt ceiling plan that can win the support of 218 votes in the u. s house. that means you can't lose more than four republican votes at the moment, more than four republicans are raising concerns they still reviewing the details, but mccarthy and his team believe that they can ultimately get there even as they have added a slew of conservative priorities and spending cuts in order to win over republicans as part of this

$1.5 trillion increase of 31 point. $0.4 trillion national borrowing limit. because he is proposing a slew of consequence ross, the board and federal program, including and ending president biden student loan forgiveness program, pulling back funding for the irs that was enacted as part of the democrats inflation reduction act also to impose new work requirements on medicaid and also southern social safety net programs. part of an effort, republicans argue, will help save money. but democrats say that this is a recipe for economic disaster. they are pushing back on this issue in the white house at the moment, holding affirmed, saying that there will be no talks whatsoever with speaker mccarthy and demanding he's simply raise the debt ceiling without any conditions attached. but talking to members in both parties, both parties are concerned with their leaderships approach to this issue. still struggling with it. still struggling with the fact that we $32 trillion in debt leaning now it was right now would be a no. i think the

speaker of the house and the president, united states should always talk. right and so should the leader of the senate should always be talking. so i think i think joe biden should be talking to kevin mccarthy, even if those conversations right now. prove nothing productive, but i do think they should be talking. and what is your fear? if there are these talks don't happen. well, my fear is that this gets pushed all the way to the last moment. and then if we're at the last moment and things fall apart, we go off. we go off the cliff for the first time in default, which would be absolutely catastrophic. but despite the pressure among some democrats like that, congressman moskowitz right there the democratic leaders are still holding firm, including chuck schumer, the senate majority leader, who told me this afternoon that even if house republicans passed their bill next week, they will not change their posture going forward and that any bill, he said. that must be ultimately enacted must be clean, meaning no conditions whatsoever. so we are heading into a critical moment here few weeks, potentially a couple of months until the country could face its first ever u. s debt

default, instill the two sides. hi stakes game of chicken with the with the u. s economy and the potential of the world economy hanging in the balance. raju, cnn, capitol hill. president biden is pledging half a billion dollars to protect the amazon rainforest. it comes as he met at the white house on thursday with colombia's president, gustavo petro urged biden to build a progressive alliance in the americas focused on democracy and clean energy. the colombian president asked for international sanctions against venezuela to be lifted. he rejected calls to send colombia's russian made helicopters to ukraine. the maker of narcan nasal spray is aiming for the lifesaving product to be more affordable now that it can be sold over the counter here in the us, the pharmaceutical company emergent plans for the antidotes out of pocket price to be less than $50 . that's how much nonprofits and first responders pay on average, narcan can usually reverse opioid overdoses with a single

and there was another vehicle damaged during the launch. have a look at this. yeah, not the best place to park. their someone parked too close to the launch site. the force of launch blew out the car's windows as debris and smoke swept in the camera that caught the scene was about 1100 ft, or 335 m from the launch area. all the hillsides of california are awash with wildflowers because of epic rainfall this past winter have a look here. the super bloom of beautiful yellow, orange, blue and purple flowers. it's a huge tourist destination in parks. officials want people to enjoy it, but they're asking tourists not to straight off the trails and trample the flowers to capture the best pictures since they having the past the extraordinary bloom you can see even see it there in space. satellite images show bright orange and yellow across canyons and hilltops have been brown and barren for years, and this
