bombs itself hitting a city of more than 400,000 people, leaving a massive crater. and blowing a car onto a roof. so just how effective is the russian war machine? accidental bombing that is again raising that question. deadline day for a case with huge implications for the entire country is supreme court decision could drop it any moment on medication , abortion and the fate of a pill that millions of women have used for more than two decades. the worst kept secret in washington, president biden said to announce his 2024 campaign next week with the election of mere 564 days away that went fast. we are following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news, central.

a powerful explosion overnight right in the heart of belgorod, russia near the ukrainian border , not the work of ukrainian forces, but a russian fighter jet with the brief flying through the air. the kremlin has acknowledged that one of its own warplanes accidentally dropped the bomb right in the center of a russian city. russia says the blast injured two people and caused this massive creator, a whopping 65 ft wide. cnn's nick paton walsh is live for us in eastern ukraine. nick what is the kremlin saying about what happened? yeah very little. frankly, apart from that this was essentially an accident that is under investigation, according to russian state media , obviously deeply embarrassing , but perhaps less embarrassing than admitting that this sort of explosion may have been caused by ukrainian armed forces. this is an issue 34 strikes jet. it's

entirely unclear whether the munitions simply fell off the aircraft was flying over belgorod, a city to the north east of ukraine, not far from its border if there was some other mistaken, targeting or firing. instant here, as you say it caused a significant creator did a lot of damage to the side of an apartment block, leaving one woman with brain trauma head injuries. another woman with the lacerations that were treated on the scene. remarkable frankly, that didn't kill more russian civilians, but also for those in ukraine, often the target of indiscriminate, inaccurate, appallingly judged indiscriminate bombing against civilians. little comfort to see it happen to russian citizens, too. but we are with some women have been sheltering in the basement of an apartment block for months when they heard the news over the radio, and then they said, it was the best thing we had heard of in a while but still an appalling sign of russia's military effectiveness , and nick, the nato secretary general, is in germany right now meeting with ukrainian officials. jen stoltenberg, saying that ukraine's future is

in nato, but he didn't give a timeline for that correct. yeah absolutely. and, of course, bear in mind that ukraine where to join nato while it's at war with russia would automatically trigger article five and then would be part of that war as well. and so a lengthy timeline likely ahead ukraine's military or rapidly equipped with equipment still far behind the standards required to join nato . but here's the sentiments echoed by the nato chief. all made wallahs have agreed that ukraine will become a nato member. but the main focus now is, of course on on how to ensure that ukraine prevails. it's a very complex task. it requires unanimity across all of nato members. it's even difficult to get turkey and hungary to fully sign on to sweden and finland, who aren't

at war with russia right now to become part of nato. but the key point there is not to be distracted from the key task at hand. and that is getting all the munitions that ukraine needs now tanks anti aircraft to assist with the forthcoming ukrainian counter offensive that many think maybe hours days away. back to you and stoltenberg, also saying he wants ukraine's military to be up to nato's grade of weapons and munitions, etcetera nick paton walsh from ukraine. thank you so much for that report. and jim as we send it over to you surprising that the kremlin would even acknowledge that they made this kind of mistake question and it's a big mistake . let's take a closer look now with cnn military analyst and retired air force colonel cedric leighton. good to have you on, sir. so let's take a look at this, miss miss. it looks very close. to the ukrainian border, but to be frank, this is 25 miles inside russian territory. and as you know, a lot of this territory here is actually controlled by russian forces as well. so how surprising is a miss? i imagine that was intended for a target somewhere

over here. it's quite surprising jim. and the reason it's so surprising is that these aircraft the s u. 30 34 is designed to go ahead and actually use a state be used as a standoff weapon. so as a standoff weapon it can use these missiles to go attack targets very far away when this weapon when this bomb came off, it was probably a weapon that was designed in the old soviet era and had been modified with gps and wings. and as a result of that those wings probably failed to deploy and it instead of going straight forward. it went down and hit an intersection right in the middle of belgorod . the us has this has helped as well. they're called j dams. you basically put some, you know wings on there that you can control. so what you're saying in effect it was meant to fire somewhere over here, stand off over the horizon and instead dropped on on russian territory . that's one possible scenario. the other scenario is that it was a deliberate act because it hit right in the intersection of a major street, and that is also

kind of unusual to say the least. and, of course, that's a civilian target, and that's something that you know should not have happened at all. here's the other issue here, and this is a bigger picture problem for russian aircraft. and that is that ukrainian air defenses. they're not perfect. we see bombs and missiles dropping all the time. time. but they have effectively made ukrainian territory a no fly zone for russian aircraft because the air defenses are significant enough to put those pilots those russian pilots in danger. is that a disadvantage to russian forces that they have to fire from this side of the border? in effect, it is absolutely because if they were able to have their supremacy over ukraine could fly anywhere throughout the entire country, because they can't do that, because the systems are good enough to prevent a lot of that flying. that they did not achieve their supremacy or air superiority throughout the entire airspace of ukraine. that means that this particular situation could happen much more frequently, and it also means that the russians are considerable disadvantage in targeting. they can't target as

accurately as they otherwise would be able to listen, and as we said it was a significant miss. that's the size of the crater there, but it's notable remember early on the assessments were that russia would establish superiority or supremacy in the air in the early stages. the war where more than a year later and have been able to do it. brianna again. ukrainian forces overperforming alright and here at any moment, something else that we're watching here. the supreme court could issue a decision on the abortion pill. this is not the final call, but it could still be a blockbuster ruling, and that is because even this interim decision today could ban or restrict the way that many women get abortions or even treat miscarriages, including in states where abortion is legal. 11 59 pm tonight that is the court's self imposed deadline to issue a decision on the next step for this drug stone, the most widely used medication to induce abortion and medical abortion medication. abortion is the most common method in the u. s. it accounts for more than

half of all the abortions performed here. the justices are going to rule on whether to let lower court ruling stand here. which could mean kristen would no longer be able to go through the mail. to take a deeper dive on what could happen today. i have cnn legal analyst carrie cordero here with us. alright, carrie. let's go through some of the possibilities because this isn't as simple as yes or no. right so this is a really unusual situation. brianna federal courts to my understanding have never before ordered the fda to revoke a drug that it had previously approved so much time longer. and in this case 23 years from the time that the fda originally approved it, so supreme court tonight could do many different things are today up until midnight could do many different things they could ask for more time. they could say we need more time to decide this, and so it might not actually have a substantive. opinion today they could align with what the fifth circuit did

, which was take the rules back to what they were in 2016 not go all the way back to 2000, but go back a few years and address the male issue, and so that would limit the ability to use it. they could go back to the northern district of texas judge who wants to take things. all the way back or it could say we think the fifth circuit went too far. we think the texas judge went too far and we're going to let this work its way through the courts. but in the meantime , the access that people had available to this through providers is going to and through the mail is going to continue. while this makes its way through the courts. the texas judge you mentioned is matthew cacs merrick. he is the one who canceled with his decision if it were to go through the fda is 23 year old approval of the drug. cnn's k file actually uncovered two interviews that he gave back in 2014 that he failed to disclose during his confirmation process. let's listen to this part of one

. people who experienced a sense sex attraction are not responsible individually or solely for the atmosphere of the sexual revolution. you know it. it's a it's a long time coming, you know it. it came after no fault. divorce came after. we implemented very permissive policies on contraception. i don't think it's a good look for this judge that he didn't disclose this. but is there any real fallout from this? so i don't think i mean these are comments, comments that he's making on cultural issues. i don't think that it is going to affect this particular case at this time, because at this point, it's with the supreme court to decide how this is going to progress and whether or not women are going to have access to this medical care in this provision and this drug in the foreseeable future. you know, one of the ironic things brianna about the dobbs decision that occurred last summer that overturned roe versus wade is

the supreme court said. we think this should go to the states and we think the federal government should stay out of it. and in this particular situation, it's actually the exact opposite. we have a federal judge who has now inserted himself into this decision making process in states where abortion is legal, right? this is huge ramifications here. carrie thank you so much for that insight. we appreciate it. boris in court today. the man accused of shooting this six year old girl and her parents after a basketball rolled into his yard. 24 year old robert singletary turned himself to police in hillsborough county, florida, more than 500 miles from gastonia, north carolina, where the shootings took place. a short time ago. he waived extradition. so soon he's going to be returned to north carolina . let's take you there now with cnn's dianne gallagher, who joins us now from charlotte and diane. you spoke with the little girl's mother, and she told you that she was surprised he made it all the way to florida, but

that she's relieved he's now in custody. that's right, boris. in fact, as soon as i heard that robert singletary had been arrested in florida, i reached out to ashley hildebrand because i've been speaking to her just moments before about how frightened she was that he was still on the loose. well, my reach out was the first that she had heard of the arrest, and she said that she was extremely relieved and needed to gather some information. as soon as she did, she texted me. i am just so glad i can't believe he made it all the way to florida. talking to her a little bit. afterwards, she talked about the relief that her family felt from this arrest, and that's something that people in the neighborhood had told me before, as well, boris that they had not been able to get any sleep since the shooting and didn't think they would until this suspect was apprehended. now look. robert singletary, the 24 year old suspect did appear in court in hillsborough county, florida this morning. he waived his right to extradition from florida. the judge did set a

date of april 24th so if he is not extradited by then, if authorities in north carolina don't transport him back here by then they'll have another hearing to determine the status of the extradition. he's facing four counts of attempted murder, as well as two counts of assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill. that's against that six year old girl. kinsley and her father, jamie white. her father remains in the hospital here in charlotte with several very serious injury. to his internal organs, including his liver and his long, boris ah, he family says they're very concerned about him and the long road ahead that he does have a net recovery. difficult to make sense of this incident. diane gallagher from charlotte. thank you so much, jim. all right. get ready for round two. biden versus trump 2024 new details on the president's plans for reelection campaign later at tennessee republican who voted to expel two black democrats has

i got a good feeling to shake it out. i'm going harder than before. let me out. i'm the talk of the town. i know you're feeling it now. surprise okay? maybe not really. but next week, president biden is expected to formally launches 2020 for reelection campaign sources telling cnn his team has circled tuesday on the calendar, which just happens to be four years to the day after he launched his 2020 run. cnn's phil mattingly is at the white house for us on this hill. why now? you know, there's been a lot of debate about timelines. brianna, as you know, quite well and i would caveat and you know this as well as anybody having covered the current president, when you were down here that you can't necessarily know he's going to do what people think he's going to do until he officially does

it and that has been a caution that we've been given from the people have confirmed that this is definitely the current plan or what they're leaning towards right now will be headed to camp david later this afternoon. it's going to be a weekend spent really discussing the kind of structure of the campaign house. things would work before he officially signs off on that tuesday date. but i do think it's important where you noted the anniversary here four years to the day when he launched his 2019 campaign, you think back to that launch and kind of the whole ethos of that campaign. the battle for the soul of america idea that really connective thread from the campaign through his first two plus years in office and where he views there's more work to be done. i think it's been something he's been saying publicly, even he's waited to announce his official campaign run over the course of the last several months. it's been something that advisors have really played into and will structure the events going forward when they think through the campaign and how it's actually going to work. that anniversary is not unimportant. this isn't going to be some massive relaunch rally. this will be a campaign style video with a fundraising request tied to it, and the president's mostly going to be doing his day

job throughout the course of next week, a very busy week. on the presidential schedule, but does if he decided to make the announcement, which it looks like that's going to happen, will certainly launch what everybody is known is coming. yeah very different than four years ago. no pandemic. he's now a sitting president, so we'll wait to see how this plays out. phil mattingly life force at the white house. thank you so much. boris let's discuss further now with biden biographer evan osnos . he's the author of joe biden. the life the run, and what matters now, even as we were listening to phil, he noted that this isn't a coincidence. april 25th is a significant date for president biden. ah some have characterized the president as being perhaps a little bit sentimental, even superstitious , fair enough. look, he's also a person who believes, as he often says, that hope and history rhyme. you know, he has a kind of there's a sentimental quality about the way he thinks about his own life. and look, it didn't work. it worked out pretty well the first time. i think he's sticking with it, but more importantly, i think he also sends his right now. that he's allowing things to play out

on the gop side. there's a lot of infighting over there. meanwhile he is as he would put it, conducting the business of the presidency, and he gets to do this in effect from the rose garden from the bully pulpit. that's an advantage and of itself a lot to sort out on the republican side, including several criminal cases for former president trump will get to that in a moment, but when phil was speaking, you turn to me laughed and said, that's true , and phil was talking about how deliberative president biden is with some of these decisions. who are the folks that he leans on when he's going through this deliberative process? yes, he has a very close circle of advisers who have been with him for a very long time. people like steve ricchetti people like john. sorry people like mike donald and very close to him in the white house. anita dunn has been working on a lot of the campaign preparation. general malley dennen delon, who has been working on this is deputy chief of staff. he also in the end turns to family. look joe biden is as core as you get to this as a political enterprise as a family enterprise. he wasn't gonna do this. not only if she didn't want to go through

another campaign, but also if she didn't think he had the gas in the tank. so you can be sure she has the last vote in the room great glimpse into that personal dynamic. we have to talk about age at this point, president. everybody is on this time. i mean, voters are indeed significant issue in part because president biden when he was running in 2020, especially late in the primary, made the promise that he was a transitory candidate. let's listen to this. look i view myself as a bridge. not as anything else. there's an entire generation of leaders you saw stand behind me. they are the future of this country. so we have a graphic to share with our viewers that highlights the ages of donald trump president biden. and if you were to serve out another term by 2028 president biden would be 86 years old. that's not exactly passing the baton to a new generation of leaders. and i think you hear this a lot from voters. it's probably the single biggest concern. they have the single biggest objection. i got

some sense from him during the campaign last time about how we thought about this transitional idea and what he really meant was i'm going to stock my administration with people who don't look like me of a younger generation of more diverse community. and you've seen them do that. i mean, it's true. also with their appointments to the federal bench, you've seen them with the appointments within the within the white house. and so look. there are people who are saying you said. you're going to run for one term, he'll say. i never quite said that, but i did say i'm going to open up the doors to more people. so i promised you a question about former president trump. do you think this is who president biden wants to face? absolutely look, joe biden would tell you he's the only person in america who has beaten donald trump for the presidency and then in effect in his mind beat him in the midterm elections in 2022. he looks around, and he says, i don't see anybody else who can give you that track record. this isn't me saying it. this would be president biden and it's hard to argue with that in the end look, he is not the person we

know this that everybody gets excited about, but what they weren't excited about him in 2020, either. what they do is they see somebody who has had a few laps around the track has passed some laws and, as he says, now, we've sort of gotten it done legislatively. but now give me a chance to make it real . let me actually put these things into action into your lives, and from his perspective , it's probably easy to as you said, sit back and watch all the things that are unfolding around trump unfold of an arsenal to leave the conversation there. thank you so much appreciate it. jim. we are learning more about one of the reasons a gunman killed five co workers at a bank in louisville, kentucky, and later what led prosecutors dropped charges against alec baldwin. new facts on the rest movie set shooting. this is cnn news, central. my name is j josa florence. and one t thing i learned being a firefighter is plan ahead. you don't know what you're getting into. but at the end of the day, you know you

you know, presentation of his reasons for this shooting. but particularly in states such as kentucky. it is true, is it? not that it's fairly easy to get a weapon well under any circumstances, and even if you do have a record of mental health issues that's exactly right. and he's correct. i mean, in the end what he was telling the world before he started his shooting spree ended up being accurate and it's a it's a case in which his motives might be mixed. i mean, he might have said one thing in a note. there is an additional note, and it shows how difficult it is to know why exactly. someone wakes up one day and it becomes a mass murderer in a mass shooting. this is a unique case. there's no criminal record. we know of the family didn't know that there was that there were guns, and when the roommate discovers the note about what's about to happen, the roommate does the right thing called the mom, the mom does the right thing

immediately calls the police and here's where the weapon becomes relevant. she calls the police he's already in the bank, and within one minute he kills five people. that's the timing that we know of. so even the best interventions are just not fast enough at this stage, and we should note that oftentimes in these shootings, there can be more more than one motivating factor or factor that led to this and sometimes suicide, right death by cop as they call it. is one of them. but let's talk about red flag laws. then obviously, the mothers call sadly came too late. but had there been a red flag law in the state of kentucky, where a family member or someone else could have said hey, wait a second. this guy has problems. can you see the circumstances where this could have been prevented? obviously, you would need time in advance. yes not all red flag laws are the same. but there are also some are quite broad and interventions by family or coworkers will justify the inability well, at least to

justify a court hearing. others are quite narrow and strict. it really does take, you know, sort of a spouse to come forward. but let's assume that there is a broad one or at least a standard for the red flag laws. in that instance, the mother who clearly had a longstanding concerns about her son, and he was in i think some sort of therapy could have a asserted the red flag law to ensure that he appeared on a list and that when he went through a security clearance or gun a gun check, even for this weapon, he would have been flagged. so red flag laws do work and you raise a you know a great point, jim, in terms of you know, are we as anything as, uh, that the cure all and the answer is no right so you could have red flag laws, but someone gets out of them or a family member doesn't come forward or or whatever it is that where we are now, with the number of guns we have on the streets, and then this particular type of gun the ar 15 is you just want to have a

number of ways to avoid the mass shooting incident. so you do call it layered defenses, so i'm not letting people who are talking now about gun control. i'm talking about like a single solution. it's just multiple ones and a red flag. one, are they they're proving themselves very, very effective in other jurisdictions. well, let's be frank, that this one reason you have that sort of sort of you will hear that refrain. oftentimes after this after events like this by gun advocates to say, well that one particular law would not have prevented this one. but you're someone who worked at dhs, right? you speak about layered defense. this country has layered defense for prevent terror attacks right that they have checks for folks who get on airplanes and they try to track bombs. for instance, i'm just saying from a homeland security perspective, given gun violence is a threat to homeland security . are you saying you need multiple solutions defenses? yes i mean, it's just it's the same way to think about it. you wouldn't have all the terminology that i use on air all the time. you wouldn't have a single point of failure,

right? i mean, in other words, i wouldn't i wouldn't allow all passengers on a plane and then just hope no one gets through the cockpit door. you have multiple layers of security. the same has to be true for the kind of culture that we're in right now. which is you want you want defense, which is where we tend to focus a lot armed guards in schools, arming, uh others so that they can protect themselves or metal detectors. that's defense. but you also want to be in a position in which you are making it harder. for one individual to kill lots of people before there can be a law enforcement intervention, and we are denying both the public that ability to run or hide or protect themselves and, of course, law enforcement. the ability to stop this from happening as you remember, this is the this was a terrific response. but within one minute , five people are dead. and just think about that all the time that you think of each of those individuals, you know, like one minute, that's all it took.

to some of the other headlines were watching this hour. 1/6 person has been arrested in last saturday's deadly shooting at a sweet 16 birthday party in alabama. four of the six facing murder charges are teenagers. authorities have not yet revealed a motive for the rampage, which killed four people and injured 32 others. we should note more charges are expected. also at least three men who participated in the 2017 white nationalist demonstration in charlottesville, virginia, have been indicted by a grand jury and are now facing felony criminal charges accused of carrying those burning tiki torches with the intent to intimidate as they marched through the campus of the university of virginia, shouting racist slogans. the charges carry a maximum of five years in prison and a texas woman who is now in italian princess has been booted from her historic roman villa, a judge ordering the sale of the villa, which features an original caravaggio ceiling painting and a recently

unearthed michelangelo's statue. princess lost her royal digs after she and her stepchildren fought over the estate of her late husband, jim. goodness well , a republican leader in the tennis tennessee house of representatives who voted just last month to expel three of his democratic colleagues for protesting against gun violence , has himself now resigned from office. state representatives. scotty campbell, who served as vice chair of the house republican caucus there, resigned from his seat in a sudden move thursday after an ethics panel found that he violated the general assembly policy on workplace harassment. i did not know that i workplace policy. could be enforced when you're not at work. cnn's ryan young has been following these developments for us. so ryan what exact workplace policy. did he or is he accused of violating here? well, jim, this all comes down to conversations that he apparently had with interns off

the property of the state capital. there's a lot of conversation about this. in fact, the complaint was originally made march 29th of 2023, so you can see how quickly this ethics violation went through the process, and it did this investigation. and of course, there are so many eyeballs on the tennessee state house. you got to think about the fact of how much power this man had, as he was pushing forward the expulsion of those three members, but all along behind the scenes he was saying he had to consider actual conversation as an adult. apparently at least one of those ladies did not feel that way. they reported to the committee. they did this investigation. some of this coming to light because of the great work of w. t v. f it's an affiliate of ours for williams tracking down this lawmaker outside yesterday, take a listen to this exchange as he tried to go to work. they broke the house rules of decorum and you broke the house policies regarding sexual harassment. according to this letter. i had a consensual conversation with adults, and when the adults

informed me that we could talk and that there weren't guardrails. i talked to who i thought were my friends. yeah jim after that conversation a few hours later, he simply said this simple resignation letter. it's one line, basically saying that he resigned at 2 18 from his house seat. a lot of questions about exactly what's going on there. i can tell you the details in this report and what the women alleging the words that he was using with these women off campus obviously were something of a concern. now we'll show you what the ethics committee actually said. they are obviously making sure that everyone who's involved in the state house ethically is treated. so this is the ethics of committee is committed to protecting members, employees and visitors by providing an environment free of discrimination, harassment or retaliation. so jim, with all the eyeballs on this state, and all the things that are going on, you have three members go down and try to protest gun violence. all the while the second in command there was facing this ethics violation, and now you've seen he's dropped

out and basically resigned as of yesterday after this report it, um the air do you point is he's a senior role in republican leadership there. ryan young, thanks so much for covering brianna. jim. we're learning what is leading prosecutors in new mexico to drop these manslaughter charges against alec baldwin sources telling cnn it may be due to modifications to the firing mechanism in that prop gun that he was holding. you can actually see a gun here that is similar to the gun used on the set of rust in 2021. that fired that bullet that killed cinematographer helena hutchins . cnn's chloe melas is joining us now, chloe, what more are you learning here about why prosecutors dropped the charges. look this was a very significant development, brianna that i think caught most people off guard. meanwhile alec baldwin, he's back filming rust when the news broke. he was in montana, where he will be for the next few weeks, finishing rest. ironically all happening on the same day. we know that the district attorney in new mexico

got new information about a modification to the gun. but the big question is who modified this gun and now that charges are being dismissed on alec baldwin pen. further investigation by the d. a could potential other charges be brought against someone who they might think might have. you know, modified this gun, you know, i have spoken to alec baldwin's legal team, the lawyer releasing a statement praising the dea yesterday, alec baldwin, taking to social media to think his wife and his attorney, specifically luke nikas, but this comes after many significant legal victories for alec baldwin's team, and the first was reducing these charges . brianna which was removing the firearm enhancement charge, going from potentially facing five years in prison. 18 months. look there. there's a status hearing on this in just about two hours, and so we are going to be watching. it's open to the public, and we will see if the d a says anything more about what

they're learning and why these charges are being dismissed. all right. we'll see what happens at that status hearing. chloe thank you for the very latest on that, boris so we know chat. gpt can do a lot of things. but can artificial intelligence run a real government? one city in japan is about to find out that's next on cnn news, central . i am christine, man. i am retired from public h health nursing and frorom the army reserve. my retirement funds. allow me to enjoy what i love to do. as long as you can make an impact. why stop? there and how are you? wow. didn't know.

trust a but to run your local government as japan continues to face rapid population decline municipal government in yokosuka city is now using the artificial intelligence platform chat gpt to help with the agencies. municipal tasks. cnn's john saarland has been following this story for us today, john, i'm going to keep you away from my terrible arnold schwarzenegger impersonation and spirit viewers as well, brianna, as i promise you is way better. but isn't this how the terminator starts? well boris. i mean, they said they'd be back. so maybe it's like this. i don't know. chachi bt is a l l m a large language model. right? basically it's auto complete on steroids, the world's most advanced chatbots. it can do things like spit out thousands of words of text in seconds. it can take those that same text and mix it around. it can spit out your college thesis

and put it into a as a shakespearean sonnet. what are the things that people are using it for? people are using it to write college level essays passed the bar. people are using it to write business emails and memos and even wedding vows. although i don't know how long you might stay married, if your spouse finds out that you were using it to write your vows, but one of the big concerns with chad gpt is that it just doesn't exactly tell the truth. uh cbt, infamously hallucinates facts so you can be using it and it can spit something out. that is completely false. a fact quote a data, so in those thousands of words that it can spit out in seconds there can be huge whoppers huge lies hidden within it. that can be a huge liability . if you are not fact checking every single thing that comes out of it. i would pay to watch it. hallucinate wedding vows that would be something to watch . so what duties is this city in japan actually having chat gpt

carry out so that is a great question. yokosuka city is in japan and has around 400,000 people, and it announced that it is going to be using chat cbt within its government. the reason, a spokesperson told cnn is because of japan's population crisis. they don't have enough people to staff government jobs, and they think chat cbt might be able to fill in the gaps. now what will it actually be doing? that is the big question and to be fair, it's a bit vague, they said. they're going to use it to summarize sentences to check spelling error. errors and to create ideas. i mean, some of that has already existed. right spell check is a thing that's existed for a long time. but create ideas. we don't exactly know what that means. they also told in the press release that will be used for rote administrative tasks to free up workers to do tasks that only humans can do. and it's interesting to contextualize this with a country with italy, italy earlier this month band

chat gpt. it's a temporary ban that's currently in effect. the reason privacy concerns fascinating. john saarland. thank you so much for that report, brianna. so at any moment here, we could get a decision from the supreme court in this fight over the abortion pill. today's deadline and what happens next coming up? this is cnn news, central. what is it about t the first warm breeze of the s season that makes you feel lighterr than air? no matter where you are, when it crosses your path, you'll feel compelled to take to the road and see where it leads. the first step begins at the lincoln spring sales event going on now for a limited time. so much space open kitchen. definitely the one can
