6:02 am
leadership is meeting behind closed doors discussing a big course reversal in their one-year plan to raise the debt limit by $1.5 trillion while making deep spending cuts. speaker kevin mccarthy and his allies agreed to two significant changes after scrambling behind the scenes overnight to get enough republican support to pass the package today. mccarthy can only afford to lose four votes. even if the house does pass the bill, though, president biden has vowed to veto it. cnn's lauren fox is tracking all of this and joins us now live from kplil. what are you hearing from party leaders? >> reporter: well, they still have some work to do this morning to understand whether or not these changes that they made overnight are going to be enough to shore up the votes they need to pass this legislation later today. republicans huddling behind closed doors as we speak, that's when we're going to get the best and first insights into whether or not lawmakers who had concerns with this bill are
6:03 am
starting to get behind it. some of the changes that were made last night were made to try to get support from conservatives, some of the changes made last night were meant to get support from some midwestern republicans. the first change that they made is speeding up when work requirements would go into effect for some social safety net programs, the other big change they made is they are not going to repeal some of the biofuel tax credits that were included in this legislation, that was a deep concern for some iowa republicans who were arguing that they may not back this proposal if those were included. these changes came, sara, after leadership for days has been arguing that the negotiations on this bill were closed, that they were not going to open them back up, that this was it, take it or leave it. that changed in the 11th hour last night as they realized that they weren't going to have the support that they needed. it's critical that kevin mccarthy shows the white house, shows senate democrats that he can unite his conference. sara? >> all right. lauren fox for us on capitol
6:04 am
hill. even though there does appear to be some movement today on capitol hill, as you just heard from lauren, the danger of a default has not gone away. so what happens if the united states does default on its debt? first, it no longer would have enough money to pay all of its bills in full and on time, which means the government would likely have to delay payments or default on some of its commitments. to us regular folks that could mean things like delays in paying social security payments, veterans benefits and federal employees' salaries. a default would also have a major impact on the u.s. economy and the global financial markets. it would also raise the cost to borrow, making it more difficult for businesses and even average americans to borrow money. even just the threat of a default that happened back in 2011 caused the only credit rating downgrade in our nation's history. treasury secretary janet yellen has said that she believes a so-called extraordinary measures
6:05 am
her department has taken should allow the government to pay its obligations until early june. according to three different analyses, early june is a key time frame because tax receipts are less than expected so far this season. john? >> thanks, sara. later this morning former magazine columnist e. jean carroll is expected to testify in the civil battery and defamation trial against donald trump. during fiery opening statements carroll's attorney said he will call witnesses, other alleged victims of trump's, to show what he called trump's pattern of alleged violent behavior. trump's attorney fired back and questioned the plausibility of carroll's allegations. carroll claims that trump raped her in a new york city department store dressing room in the 1990s and defamed her when he repeatedly denied her claims. cnn senior legal analyst elie honig joins you now. counselor, freight to see you. this is a civil case, which is important to remind people because -- >> first of all, the stakes are different. the stakes here are only money, no one is going to jail, no one
6:06 am
is getting convicted of anything. the burden of proof for legally is different for the plaintiff. she does not have to prove her case beyond a reasonable doubt, she only has to prove her case by a preponderance of the evidence meaning more likely than not 50.1% likelihood. >> she testifies today, she gets on the stand today. what are the structural advantages that the plaintiff e. jean carroll has in this case? >> the biggest advantage she has in this case is she's there, she's actually in the courtroom in opposition to donald trump who apparently is not going to physically appear. he doesn't have to because this is a civil case, if it was a criminal case he would have to be there for the trial. this case is going to come down who does the jury believe more e. jean carroll's account of what happened or donald trump's denial of what happened. if you have a person who is there and present the jury will see that as a sign of respect, i think juries feel like it's disrespectful for somebody not to show. e. jean carroll will take the stand, testify live, be subject to live cross-examination.
6:07 am
in contrast the jury is probably only going to see clips of donald trump's depositions. naturally a jury is going to say we're going to tend to default towards the person who actually showed up. >> e. jean carroll also has corroborating witnesses. >> yeah, so a couple of key things. first of all, there are two witnesses who this judge is going to allow to be called who claim e. jean carroll told them in this undefined date in the mid 1990s about what happened happened. e. jean carroll's lawyers are going to say she told them 25, 30 years ago when it happened. it's going to go against the charge that she just recently made this up. also the judge and i think controversial alley legally is allowing in evidence of witnesses who i think may testify today who claim that donald trump sexually assaulted them on other occasions years apart from the carroll allegation, which the plaintiff will argue goes to his m.o., this is what he did. trump's lawyers will argue perhaps on appeal if there is an appeal that's too much, that wasn't relevant enough to this case. >> e. jean carroll takes the stand today, trump's attorneys
6:08 am
will have a chance to cross-examination, what's their strategy? >> they will argue the allegation is made up by e. jean carroll. they will say there is a problem in the lack of specificity. e. jean carroll does not know the day, the time of year, does not even know the year. she claims it was 1995 or 1996. they are going to say that means donald trump can't defend himself. if she pinpointed a day, who knows, maybe trump was out of town that a day, maybe he has an alibi witness. they're going to argue she's been supported and spurred on by political opponents of donald trump and there's some truth to that. doesn't mean she's lying, but it certainly is fair game for the jury to take into account. >> carroll's attorneys know all of this. >> yes. >> how do they protect themselves against that line from the trump team? >> i think they're going to argue you have to look at all the factors, the corroborating witnesses. i think the two witnesses she told at the time will be important. i think they're going to say he
6:09 am
is not shhere, he didn't have t guts to take the stand and subject himself to cross-examination unlike -- i'm playing the role here -- unlike my client, e. jean carroll, who stood up here, took an oath, and with stood cross-examination. >> they've argued many times rape victims do not go forward or come public with the claims right away. elie honig, we will be watching closely today. thanks so much. this morning russian opposition leader alexei navalny is back in solitary confinement. a short time ago he appeared in court by video to face new criminal charges his team says. this comes after new reports of him being limited food and possibly poisoned again while in jail. according to his spokesperson, navalny will now spend a total of 158 days in solitary confinement for this round of punishment. a typical solitary sentence in moscow is usually no more than 15 days. you see what's happening here.
6:10 am
scott mclean is tracking this one from london, he's joining us now. first and foremost, scott, tell us about what you're hearing about these new charges. >> reporter: kate, an account used by alexei navalny said that he was being accused of committing terrorist attacks while he was in prison. this is a brand-new charge, carries a maximum sentence of 35 years behind bars. his team says that it relates to two things, first, comments made not by alexei navalny but by his chief of staff last summer, and secondly, it relates to the killing of a russian journalist in a st. petersburg café earlier this month. investigators in that case have blamed ukrainian agents working in collaboration with people from navalny's anti-corruption foundation, which denies any involvement. but the reason that alexei navalny was in court today is about a second case, this one on charges of extremism, maximum penalty there 30 years. the judge today ruled in favor of prosecutors which wanted to limit the amount of time that he had to review the materials in
6:11 am
the case and we're talking about 196 volumes of material that his daughter said has 250 pages each double spaced. by my math navalny would need to read more than five pages per minute for the next ten days straight to get through all of the material. this may be a moot point because his team saying in the penal colony that he is in he is not allowed to review documents there anyway. >> i laugh only because it seems -- it's just so ridiculous what he is facing, but regardless, navalny looks thin in the video that we do see of him, that we saw of him this morning. what more are you learning about the conditions he's facing right now in prison? >> reporter: first off, kate, he's going back into solitary confinement for another 15 days just as there are concerns about his worsening health. his team said two weeks ago that he lost 17 or 18 pounds in just
6:12 am
a two-week period or so. his daughter says that he's being limited as to the food that he can buy from the canteen. even when he does buy food she says this. listen. >> he buys the food, which as you know, it's nothing luxurious. he buys the oats, the oats are brought to him, shown to him and then are just destroyed. so he can't eat. >> reporter: so his team says that he's also having severe stomach issues which they say may suggest that he's being poisoned albeit very slowly. now, that may -- his lawyer says that, look, that may sound paranoid to a normal person but of course not to alexei navalny who as we all know has been poisoned before, kate. >> absolutely right. scott, thank you for the update. sara? next hour, a critical meeting at the white house. president joe biden will welcome south korea's president for an official state visit, but beyond the pomp and circumstance the two leaders must discuss very
6:13 am
serious business, including north korea's escalating nuclear threat. cnn's arlette saenz joins us now from the white house. arlette, biden and yun rolling out a new plan today, can you tell us about what that is? >> reporter: sara, president biden and the south korean president will be unveiling a significant new agreement with the goal of further deterring north korea from its nuclear ambitions. this comes as officials say north korea has continued their provocations. now, this agreement will be called the washington declaration and one key element of it is that the u.s. plans on strategically deploying regularly strategic assets to the region to try to make that deterrence more visible. that includes the deployment of a u.s. nuclear ballistic submarine. officials say this will be a temporary move, but it is significant that it hasn't happened since the 1980s. additionally this agreement will also set up a nuclear
6:14 am
consultative group so that the two countries can discuss and plan for nuclear contingencies and they will also be stepping up their training exercises and simulation activities. now, this comes at a time when diplomatic efforts to try to reach north korea's kim jong-un to discuss these nuclear provocations have largely gone unanswered. so today president biden and the south korean president will be trying to focus on the goal of deterring north korea's nuclear threat. additionally there are a host of other issues the two leaders will be discussing including economic issues and cybersecurity issues. this all comes as china's influence in the region has been growing and president biden has sought to shore up the relationships with allies there. in just about an hour the south korean president will be arriving here on the south lawn of the white house for a bit of the pomp and circumstances of this state visit. the two will be holding a bilateral meeting and president biden and the south drooen president will also participate
6:15 am
in a press conference, the first time we will hear directly from president biden since his reelection announcement yesterday. >> we can hear the band playing all the jams there at the white house. thank you so much, arlette saenz. john? one of the roommates who survived the murders of four university of idaho students is being asked to testify as part of the suspect's defense. a potential germ bomb, why the world health association is sounding the alarm after a lab in sudan was seized by paramilitary fighters. an urgent manhunt under way for four detainees who escaped from a mississippi jail. we have new details ahead.

6:22 am
and i think concerns over a germ threat. >> reporter: yeah, there are deep concerns that the pathogens in this laboratory named by the w.h.o., the world health organization, john, as being measles, polio and cholera to get out, particularly if there is some kind of clash in that laboratory or indeed if conditions under which they're kept are compromised. now, these -- we are not talking covid-19, this isn't worldwide potential catastrophe, but it is a potential extra level of horror on the already preexisting catastrophic humanitarian situation in sudan. polio has almost been -- or has been eradicated in sudan, it's trying to get its foot hold back in places like burundi, mozambique and parts of south africa but essentially that has been eradicated. cholera and measles are endemic in sudan. in the case of cholera it gets a grip of a population that is
6:23 am
vulnerable, exhausted, short of food and clean water. if you don't have clean water access in places like khartoum cholera can rear its head anyway. if this bug were to get out obviously that would accelerate the process. i think that is the main concern there, john. >> sam, we did mention you are in djibouti which we showed on the map previously, it's about 800 miles east of khartoum. you are where so many of the people in sudan are evacuating through. what is the latest on the effort to get people out? >> reporter: it's a very interesting mixed effort in many ways. this has been the military hub for u.s. operations to get people out of sudan, they led the field in terms of evacuating their diplomats, this is united states, but they have only about under 100 were evacuated. britain has accelerated its evacuating process direct via cyprus, they have run at least six flights, several hundred people have been evacuated, the
6:24 am
french a similar effort, more than 2,000 people have been carried on a saudi ship from port sudan to jeddah, they are from many, many different nations and among them 500 people that got there by convoy organized by the united nations. the americans, though, remaining in sudan are being told to hide where they are because they don't -- the american authorities still don't believe that the conditions are right to continue to do an evacuation. of course, the evacuation of 16,000 people is a massive effort potentially, john. >> all right. sam kiley standing by for us in djibouti, keep us posted. thank you so much. there's also a major announcement coming from the biden administration right now. the taliban has killed an isis-k leader according to the administration -- that according to the administration is the same person who planned the deadly attack on american troops and afghan civilians at the kabul airport during the chaotic u.s. withdrawal from the country. 13 american soldiers, more than 170 afghans were killed in that
6:25 am
2021 bombing. john kirby was the national security -- with the national security council called this isis-k leader the mastermind behind the horrific attack. cnn's natasha bertrand is gathering more details on this. and there are still quite a few questions, natasha, about what's known and how the united states learned about t what more are you gathering? >> reporter: that's right, kate. what we're learning this morning is that the biden administration does believe that this plot are, alleged plotter of the abbey gate suicide attack in 2021 was killed by the taliban based on u.s. intelligence. what we're told according to a pentagon statement released last night is that they do believe that this isis-k figure was killed in early april by the taliban. the pentagon in their statement reiterated that the u.s. had no involvement in this operation and both the white house and the pentagon would not name the isis figure himself. they have declined to identify him to reporters and publicly.
6:26 am
the fact that the u.s. is coming out and saying at all that the taliban carried out this operation to kill this senior isis leader really says a lot about the limitations of the u.s.'s counterterrorism operations in afghanistan, right, especially post withdrawal back in 2021 and actually the commander of central command spoke to this on capitol hill just a few weeks ago telling lawmakers while the u.s. does still have a broad sense of the contours of the terrorist threat that is emanating from afghanistan and the region, those kind of granular details about specific terroristic threats including from isis are still really hard for the u.s. to gauge. so that really says a lot of course about the u.s.'s reliance now on groups like the taliban which of course the u.s. was fighting a war with for over 20 years to conduct these kinds of operations. we should also note that cnn did speak to the father of a u.s. service member who was killed in that abbey gate bombing back in august of 2021 in the waning days of the u.s. evacuation and
6:27 am
he told cnn that while he is happy that a terrorist was killed and that the plotter -- alleged mastermind of this operation has been eliminated and taken off the battlefield, he still wants to see someone in the biden administration be held accountable for that massive attack that the service members and their families say was really facilitated by the chaotic withdrawal there, kate. >> so many questions surrounding that. we're going to be speaking with john kirby, the spokesperson for the national security council a little later in the show. many questions to suppose to him on this. great reporting. thank you so much. those deep winter snows now causing significant flooding impacts. yosemite forced to close later this week. and we are just minutes away from the opening bell on wall street. dow futures are up, look at all the green right there. this is amid promising tech corporate earnings. microsoft added more than 7% in the last quarter, beating expectations and posting a jump in revenue.

welcome back to cnn "news central." some of the top stories we are tracking right now, there are major discussions under way up on capitol hill. house republicans are trying and struggling so far still to lock in support for kevin mccarthy's $1.5 trillion spending cuts bill that he needs or says he needs in order to get him to sign off on raising the debt ceiling. mccarthy can only lose four republicans as we know and still the reality is even if this bill passes the house, it would then need to get through the democratically-controlled senate and even then president biden has vowed to veto it. next hour, a critical meeting at the white house, president biden is set to welcome south korean president yoon suk-yeol. the two leaders will be marking the 70-year alliance and this is all starting next hour. they are also expected to focus on many important topics. north korea's escalating nuclear threat, china's growing influence in the indo-pacific
6:34 am
region and the recent leak of pentagon documents suggesting the united states has been eavesdropping on allies including south korea. happening right now a massive manhunt is under way after four detainees escaped from a mississippi jail. officials say they believe these four men, broke out of their cells on saturday night. police say that's when they climbed on to the roof of the raymond detention center and likely split up to make their escapes. then in jackson, mississippi, police found the body of a man who had been shot and killed. they believe dylan arlington was behind that murder and stole the man's truck. another stolen car was spotted in neighboring rankin county, mississippi. investigators believe two of the suspects may have been headed there. and more than 400 miles away a spring valley, texas, officials have an abandoned public works truck, they found that truck there, it's the same one that
6:35 am
was seen crashing through a gate late on saturday night. cnn anchor and correspondent amara walker is following all of this. it sounds like law enforcement is close on their tail. what more do we know about the case? >> reporter: here is what we know according to jackson police and the heinz county sheriff's department. they were able to piece together a timeline by taking a look at the surveillance video from inside the raymond detention center. what they found were these suspects, as you you said, they climbed through the ceiling of their cells to the roof of the detention center and apparently camped out there for some time, all left in different directions. this all happening around 8:30 on saturday evening and it wasn't until about four hours later around 12:30 past midnight sunday morning when officials realized that four of these detainees were missing during a routine head count and of course the raymond detention facility by the way which is located about 20 minutes west of jackson, mississippi, it was placed on lockdown. i want to show you the photos,
6:36 am
the booking photos of the suspects one more time because police are asking for the public's health in locating the men. dylan arrington, casey greyson, corey harrison and jeremy raynes. here is the interesting part, sara. officials say raynes actually has a history of escaping from that very detention center, the raymond detention center. in fact, he had escaped back in 2021 and he was recaptured in another state. here is heinz county sheriff tyree jones. >> we are not exactly sure when that breach started, how they did the breach or how long it took them to breach as well. that is still under investigation. we are still interviewing people. >> reporter: all right. so obviously this is very embarrassing for officials there in heinz county at the raymond detention center. the sheriff acknowledged that changes need to be made, repairs and updates to the facility so
6:37 am
that it doesn't happen again. he also mentioned there have been a lot of shortages in staffing. right now there is a manhunt under way focused in two states, mississippi and in texas, sara. >> it's crazy that one of the men had already broken out of the same place not long ago. amara walker, thank you so much for all of that. john? the markets opened just a few minutes ago and the dow is up a wee little bit, .2%, about 71 points, this followed a tough day, especially late yesterday, over banking jitters. shares at first republic which was at the center of the deposit concern in march fell more than 49%. not seen there. it fell a lot yesterday and this morning first republic is down, that may be what is down this morning. it was down that yesterday. >> yes. yes. >> reverse that right there. here now cnn chief business correspondent christine romans. yesterday. >> yesterday. >> today. >> exactly. cut in half and still weak.
6:38 am
very "dancing with the stars" has an appointment for. >> you tell me about first republic. >> they had a tough day yesterday, reported its earnings and showed the world just how much stress it was under during that banking spell of banking worries last month. $100 billion walked out of the door of first republic and that was a big, big outflow of money and it means it's exploring every option it has here basically to stay alive. so investors were really pessimistic on that stock yesterday so it fell. look, now in the premarket it's down even more, another 20%, down 93% since that banking stress began last month. here is what's the problem for first republic, it has wealthier customers who have more than the insured amount of deposits there. so when the going got tough those people are finding new places to bank. so this bank has to really rethink it's entire business model. so one of the things we are looking at markets up here today, so that's good news because yesterday we had a down day, banking concerns and also
6:39 am
some earnings kind of in the mix. a lot going on. but we are watching this banking worries again. what we're hearing mostly from bank ceos and basically regulators and lawmakers is that the system has stabilized and this morning if you look at some of those other regional bank shares, those appear to be stabilizing and that's what we want to watch. we want to watch this doesn't spread to other banks essentially. >> are there signs -- i don't know if we have the pictures of the regional banks. >> we should be able to have a live feed. many are flat or higher here in morning, bouncing higher. also they are all in the midst of reporting their earnings as well. we're pouring over every one of these earnings reports trying to see where the weaknesses may lie and whether those outflows of customer deposits are slowing. by all accounts it looks like the stress from last month has been contained, but remember the fed has been raising interest rates for a year now. so that low interest rate environment is gone and these banks need to adjust -- adjust to this new reality. you're seeing different levels of health around the system although what we hear from the
6:40 am
treasury, from the fed, from the white house and from bank ceos is the overall fundamental u.s. banking system is strong, much better than it was in 2008 and these episodes can be weathered. first republic, this is something that is not, you know, a systematic problem in the economy. >> christine romans, thank you for helping us understand this and watching me pull a muscle. kate? oh, john. all right. let's move to weather right now. river gauges all along the mississippi river they have jumped even further this morning. more than two dozen gauges along the midwest all along the midwest they are now hitting major flood stage. what does that mean? under the designation the national weather service says that evacuations they may be necessary because of the extensive flooding risks for homes and roads when it hits this level. this is the type of flooding that we are talking about here. here is just one image from obviously drone footage, it is extremely helpful in seeing what so many communities are up against right now. this is a riverfront area in
6:41 am
davenport, iowa, very clearly under water. cnn's derek van dam is watching all of this for us very closely and he's joining us now. derek, what are you seeing -- what are you seeing today with this ongoing threat and also the thing that's most concerning about this is how long this threat can linger. >> oh, yeah, absolutely. it's going to get worse before it gets better. especially along the communities that line the mississippi river. let's say south of minneapolis st. paul. here is one such community, this is hudson, wisconsin, this is a tributary of the mississippi. you can see how the floodwaters have inundated the local parks across this region. mostly rural communities but that's somebody's home, park and business that are being impact bid floodwaters. you're looking at the current river flooding sfwajs, we currently have over two does under major flood stage. i want to highlight the attention between lacrosse and the davenport region. those purple dots that's the major flood stage. as we advance into the future, this would be the next three
6:42 am
days through the course of the weekend we start to see dots populate further to the south and that is because we're seeing that river water move further and further south. you can see the flood warnings that stretch the mississippi river, over 400 miles of flood warnings as we speak. >> 400 miles of flood warnings. this is a major threat along the midwest as well, but you're also tracking a flooding risk out west as well. >> yeah, look at these images coming out of truckee, california, near record snow pack and near record warmth that is impacted this region. the water has got to go somewhere. we have 56 inches of what's called snow/water equivalent across the central sierra nevada mountain range. that's 56 inches of water wanting to be released into the valleys and rivers below. look at the warming temperatures through the course of this weekend and we think about the snow that is still left within the mountains and we're talking about astronomical amounts of snow that we have never seen
6:43 am
before, especially in the southern sierra nevada, sitting at 324% of average to date, that is snow/water equivalent, but statewide even more impressive. we didn't even break average the past through years, but this year, 256% of average snowfall across california. that water has to go somewhere, kate. >> it absolutely does. really interesting the way you're able to illustrate it. derek, thank you for that. sara? thank you, kate. a last minute effort in missouri, advocates are suing to stop the attorney general's new rule that goes into effect tomorrow that would make gender affirming care nearly impossible to obtain in that state.
