regulators seize control of first republic bank, selling its assets to jpmorgan chase. what does it mean for your money? a mundt under way in texas. hundreds of police officers are searching for a gunman accused of killing five people, including a 9-year-old boy. the latest on the search ahead. fleeing sudan. thousands are l leaving. we're live where a u.s. ship carrying american evacuees has just docked. we're following these developing stories and more coming in to "cnn news central. " overnight, regulatorings seizing control of first republic bank and its $230
6:02 am
billion worth of assets. jpmorgan stepping in as a buyer and assuming responsibility. we're less than 30 minutes before the opening bell. we want to see how wall street reacts, futures down but only a little bit. wall street seems to be taking this in stride. this is the second largest bank failure in u.s. history, the largest since the 2008 financial crisis and the third u.s. bank to fail since march. cnn chief business correspondent chri christine romans is with us. explain what happened and why. >> 830 employees doing due diligence this weekend. there were several bidders. jpmorgan chase got the deal in the end, assuming $173 billion loans and securities, about $92 billion in deposits, and will share the losses as often happens when it's a receivership, will share the losses in the next few years on
6:03 am
any loans that happen to go south here. a dramatic deal and a droamatic resolution for people who bank at first republic. shareholders wiped out essentially because jpmorgan is not taking over the debt or the credit or the stock of the company. what should consumers know? branches reopened this morning as jpmorgan. customers will have full access to their deposits and banking apps and you're insured up to that $250,000 limit. it is scary when you look at how big this failure was, but jpmorgan chase ceo jamie dimon ensuring this is nowhere >> it's one heck of a headline when you see the second biggest failure in u.s. history. we look at the dow on moment ago, futures are basically flat this morning. paul street seems to think it's okay. >> there's a feeling this big acquisition over the weekend with the help of the u.s.
6:04 am
government draws a line under the near term crisis here. jimmy time it, the ceo, saying, look, maybe there could be another bank somewhere but has problems with too many uninsured deposits or bad investments. for the most part, the stability in the banking system, you can count on it. >> the market opens in 26 minutes. we will keep an eye on that to see if they remain as calm as they have so far. kate? >> we stand by for that, but also a look at how exactly the nation's 14th largest commercial bank got to this point. the root, as john and christina were just talking about, the root of their problems can largely be traced back to silicon valley bank. more specifically, the contagion that set in following the collapse of svb. first republican -- first republican is based in san francisco and has held many wealthy clients as customers, with most of their business focused on the coast in many of the zip codes. there is nothing wrong with
6:05 am
that, of course, except that many of these affluent customers held large balances with the bank which eventually meant two thirds of its deposits were uninsured at the end of 2022. then after svb failed, first republic customers got spooked and started pulling out their money fast. first republic reported last week that customers had pulled 100 billion dollars in deposits from the bank in just the first three months of the year. that happened even after 11 other banks that come together in mid march to get first republic a 30 billion dollar lifeline. share prices were down by 97% since early march. just let that sit in for a second, down 97%. on march 1st, the bank was trading at around $122 a share and then since the stock prices plunged, very much so, now below $4 a share. all of this making it pretty clear at the end of last week that first republic's fate was sealed. sarah? >> a manhunt is underway in texas.
6:06 am
more than 200 officers are searching for this man, francisco -- he's accused of killing five of his neighbors, one of them a nine year old boy. survivors say the man was angry after they had asked him to stop firing his rifle so close to the home. the man who lost his wife and son in the shooting says he escaped by jumping out of a window. >> one of the people who died saw when my wife fell to the ground and with dying. she told me to throw myself out the window because my children were already without a mother. so one of us had to stay alive to take care of them. and she was the person who helped me throw myself out the side of the window. but she still failed. she died. that is what happened. >> that port your man. cnn's ed lavandera is live from cleveland, texas. that is just north of houston. and, what are police saying about the suspect, and warning
6:07 am
the public up at this hour? >> we haven't gotten any updates as to where the suspect might be. law enforcement officials here in the area who have been handling the case say they've had zero leads as to where francisco oropesa might be at this moment. we don't know if that has changed since yesterday afternoon when they announced an 80,000 dollar reward leading for information leading to his capture, but investigators continue to work. this is the shooting scene you see behind me, sarah. this is where wilson garcia, the man you just heard from, detailed how all of this unfolded on friday night. he said that he and a few others had approached their neighbor, francisco oropesa, asked him to stop shooting. in the meantime, the family said they were calling 9-1-1 five different times, but this area where they are at, just for context, is outside of the
6:08 am
city limits by about 15 minutes. so it's a large rural county. it takes time for law enforcement officers to respond. wilson garcia told us it was about 10 to 20 minutes before -- after having that conversation with him, rather, that he then returned back to the house and started firing on the people who were gathered at the home. the sheriff here says he is absolutely heartbroken by how all of this has unfolded. >> my heart is with this eight-year-old little boy. i don't care if he was here legally or illegally. he was in my county. five people died in my county. that is where my heart is. in my county protecting my people to the best of our ability.
6:09 am
>> so there were 15 people inside the home when the shooting erupted. ten of them survived including wilson garcia's two other children. a two and a half-year-old girl, and a month-year-old baby boy. he told us the women had actually thrown them under a pile of blankets on the sofa so that the gunman could not see them. sarah? >> ed lavandera, thank you so much for being there. thank you to your crew as well. we should mention that the suspect is considered armed and dangerous. john? >> all right, we are getting our first look this morning at the destruction left behind by severe weather. in virginia beach, a tornado damaged as many as 100 homes. look at that. all the debris forced the closure of at least three schools in the area today. in palm gardens, florida a tornado picked up a car and flipped it over before it came crashing back down. look at that. that is remarkable imagery right there. >> holy cow. >> oh my god. it's like right in front, oh my
6:10 am
god. >> after the storm cleared, you could see some destruction left behind. cars piled on top of each other. uprooted trees and things just scattered for miles and miles. cnn meteorologist jennifer gray joins us now. jennifer, what are we looking at in terms of threats today? >> the threat has gone down today. it is a pretty miserable day across portions of the northeast, the ohio valley, and the great lakes region. we will get to that, but we had a wild weekend of weather as you mentioned. three tornado reports. 32 wind reports. and five hail reports. so we will take you through over the weekend. you can see the storm reports started in south texas. they then extended across portions of the southeast including that tornado as you mentioned in palm beach gardens. and as you mentioned, remarkable. it just goes to show this is why we don't get on the roads when we have a tornado warning in progress. we are very lucky we did not see more injuries there or even
6:11 am
deaths. it was an incredible situation. also as the storm went a little bit to the northeast, we had that second tornado near port junior beach. we just had lots of damage. lots of big trees down. cars toppled. you can see lots of cleanup will be going on in the region over the next few days. the national weather service will be out surveying this region today to determine how strong that tornado was. here is where it all is now, john. as you mentioned, we are looking at this rain pushing up into the northeast, and new england. we have an area of low pressure that is sitting stationary over portions of the great lakes. so we are seeing a historic storm shaping up across portions of the upper peninsula of michigan where we are going to see an additional one or two feet of snow expected on top of what we have already seen over the weekend, which is about 18 inches, john. the national weather service there is calling a weather historic. >> we are still talking about snow? all right, thank you very much, jennifer gray. kate? >> coming up on cnn news central, russia launching a new

by date of march 27th and march 28th 2004. >> any moment now, how speaker kevin mccarthy will be speaking in jerusalem to the israeli parliament. that is something that has not happened in about 25 years. he met with prime minister benjamin netanyahu earlier this morning. those comments as the spotlight has been on netanyahu, as he has moved to delay his proposed overhaul of the judicial system. it would be the most sweeping change to the judicial system there since the country's founding. and as we have seen and reported on, it has sparked massive protests across israel. cnn's hadas gold joins us now. hadas, what are you learning about mccarthy's visit and what we will hear about from the speaker? >> yes, as we speak speaker mccarthy is currently within the parliamentary floor, which is just over here to my right. the speaker of the knesset is partly speaking, but then the
6:19 am
next few minutes we expect speaker mccarthy to address the knesset. he's only the second speaker of the u.s. house to do so. for speaker mccarthy, it's actually also his first trip abroad since being elected speaker. he said thp abroad is to israel because he says he wants to highlight that the united states has no greater ally than israel. this is a much different tone and sort of chummy relationship we are seeing between mccarthy and the israeli government led by prime minister benjamin netanyahu. of course, what we've seen from the biden administration recently, over the last few weeks biden scoffed at the idea that netanyahu would be visiting washington any time soon. there's been a dustup over this judicial overhaul plan. biden said he hopes netanyahu will walk away from it. instead, kevin mccarthy is praising netanyahu directly in a meeting earlier today saying the united states admire him for his courage and leadership, talking about the 75 years of the alliance between israel and the united states. how he expects that sort of aligns to continue. mccarthy going even further
6:20 am
yesterday in an interview with an israeli newspaper saying if joe biden does not invite benjamin netanyahu to the white house soon, he will invite benjamin netanyahu to speak to the u.s. congress even without a white house invitation. mccarthy even cracking a joke that he's being treated the same way as netanyahu because mccarthy, he says, he has not been invited to the white house to meet with president biden. saying they are sort of in good company. despite the controversies that are swirling around the israeli government right now from this judicial overhaul, that has sparked hundreds of thousands of israelis to the streets, to the extremist right-wing ministers were in positions of power here, people who were once the extreme fringe of israeli politics. they now occupy positions of power. i don't expect to hear anything like that coming from mccarthy. i think you will talk about the alliance. and it's been a very warm welcome so far. in fact, the speaker of the israeli parliament gave this rendition of hotel california in speaker mccarthy's honor. take a listen.

i know that sound is terrifying. what is going on behind you right now down there in the square? >> this is an area that the government has put aside to show ukrainians just what they are doing to the russian hardware that is put up against them. a lot of this stuff came from bucha, during the early russian invasion. what you see here over the weekend, kids coming out to play, and that is a sort of subliminal message if you will. there's nothing to be afraid of in these big russian tanks and heavy armor. that is the message from the government. that is certainly what you hear from people in these places that have been targeted. 34 civilians wounded overnight. five of them children. when three russian missiles managed to get through and impact the country. no fatalities. but what we hear from the russians is that they were able to hit all of their targets. it doesn't add up.
6:23 am
no surprise and that, that the russian narrative is completely at odds with reality. as you say, the missiles fired at kyiv, none of them impacted to how russia can claim that it hit its targets there. that defies logic. they say they hit their targets again. if they hit their targets, they were civilian houses in the south of the country. i think the overnight raids were mostly repelled, but the interesting takeaway perhaps is that russia is stepping them up. that was the second night of rates like that in four days. >> thank you so much. nick robertson and his crew out there in kyiv. stay safe. john? >> former president trump asking for a mistrial in the civil battery and defamation trial against him. we are live as his accuser is expected to take the stand again this morning. states across the country have enacted new restrictions on abortion since the supreme court overturned roe v. wade, but the republican dominated state legislature in south carolina bucked that trend.

projectiles being thrown as police answered with tear gas. take a look, it looks like a rainy day in paris right now. it looks like clashes are erupting once again. taking a live look there. make first is a day that is treated as a holiday in many countries. sorry, the control room is speaking to me. may day is often celebrated with demonstrations as a holiday to recognize liberal rights. it is hitting differently this time this make first in paris because this is coming against continued kind of outrage at controversy over french president macron's move to reform and overhaul the pension system there, which also included raising the retirement age by two years. melissa bell is on the streets for us in paris and joining us now. i think she's on the phone. melissa, if you can hear me tell me what you are seeing. >> kate, what we are seeing here at the very front of the
6:30 am
protests, this is where the confrontation with the police. as you can see that is exactly what is happening today. compared to the last few protests where we've been out here for pension reform, we have seen a lot more of these -- than we have at many of the other protests. i think that's why you are seeing them so confrontational with police early on. there's an awful lot of tear gas in the air. there has been a lot of projectiles going back and forth. some pretty violent clashes as well already. this is just the very front of the protest, kate. so sorry. >> melissa, are you doing okay? >> the two yes -- the tear gas is so heavy kate, i can barely breathe. sorry. just to give you an idea at the very front of the protests. as i was saying a moment ago, it's the front of the protest. the idea is that the black block, leading the
6:31 am
confrontation with the -- police today. they've been doing that fairly successfully. 12,000 policeman on the streets trying to keep these marches peaceful. this is also traditionally made the first. this is a day when people come out to protest in any case. the police had expected this particular day because of the pension reform protests. it's gotten so violent in the past few weeks. it's better attended than some of the protests we have seen recently. possibly, and most attended made the first protest we have seen in many years. they are certainly proving to be some of the most animated so far, and very early on in the day. >> absolutely melissa, we will stick with you as long as we can. please tell me how you are feeling because everyone can understand how impossible it can be to continue to report live when you have tear gas filling your lungs. but talk to me because you and i have had this conversation
6:32 am
over weeks. macron proposed this. the protesters came out. the equivalent of the supreme court in france then said these reforms can go through. so what is going to happen now despite all of these flash bangs i'm hearing behind you? >> that's right, kate. that's the point. this is happening, right? from september, the french we'll incrementally start working more and more each year until they reach that retirement age by 2030 of 64. it's pretty low by european standards, but here in france a very soft nerve as you can see. the way that emmanuel macron carried it out, you mentioned a moment ago the constitutional council, by pushing it through without a parliamentary vote. it has really added to a lot of the anger. now, a lot of the people you are seeing around me here, the black bloc, these are some of the most extreme elements. we are talking about the very far left. they come out to these protests seeking confrontation with the police. the vast majority of the
6:33 am
protesters that are following in the march, i think it's important to add, the trade unions, the people who have come out here to peacefully demonstrate, they are in the, vast majority. the point is that all of the people out here on the streets here, whether they are the black bloc, with a more peaceful protesters behind me, they know they are coming out to protest against the pension reform that could be going through, but that is vastly opposed by a majority of the french population. it's something like 62% of the french that are opposed to this reform. and i think most importantly, kate, one of the most interesting statistics is that since this began on january 19th, protests, the strikes, they have now continued through all of those months with all of the trouble at difficulty and chaos and gridlock that it brings to the french people. the popular support in favor of this movement, in favor, has actually risen by 11%. so that is really what the people out here on the street are hoping to tap into.
6:34 am
the fact that the french are extremely angry with this reform, and that anger has appeared to grow. >> as we are all seeing, the police line is moving just passed melissa and her team. melissa, stay safe. we are going to check back with you as we have seen. then they rushed into kind of move the line and move the protesters back. we saw this since we've been talking to melissa over the weeks at these protests, either can flare up really quickly. we have been seeing projectiles, fireworks, tear gas bin responded back and forth. melissa, thank you so much. we will stick with melissa and her team in paris to see how it continues to develop. >> going to keep a close eye on that obviously. also developing this morning, lawyers for former president trump have asked for a mistrial in his civil battery and defamation trial. in a new legal filing, his attorneys claimed the judge has made pervasive and unfair and prejudicial rulings. e. jean carroll, the woman accusing trump of sexually
6:35 am
assaulting her in a dressing room in the 90s, she will be back on the witness stand in about 30 minutes. cnn's -- is live outside the courthouse for us this morning. kara, this motion for a mistrial, what are the grounds? >> john, the motion came in overnight. trump's attorney is asking the judge for a mistrial in this case citing a number of different reasons. one of them is he says the judge has limited his questioning of carol on some issues. the one he highlights is when he was asking carol about her attempts to locate any security camera footage from the department store where she alleges she was raped, he asked a number of these questions. the judge stopped him at some point and he did not feel like he got a fair enough shocked to explore what her efforts work to try to obtain in security camera footage. another area that he has raised as a concern before the judge is that the judge has sustained a number of -- objections from carole's team to question saying they were argumentative. he said this in front of the
6:36 am
jury. among those questions, tacopina was asking carroll, protest ammonia is that there was no one on the sixth floor of the department store in the lingerie department where she says she was raped. tacopina was asking numerous questions about that. people have testified at the trial that there was such an emphasis on client services, i'm asking how it's possible that there was not one representative, sales rep, on the floor. the judge stated objections that he was argumentative. tacopina saying if you want grant a mistrial, he's asking the judge to correct the record before the jury, or to give him greater latitude in cross examination going forward. john? >> hard to see a judge declared a mistrial because of decisions that the judge himself has made to this point. we will see how this develops. e. jean carroll back on the stand. where are we in her testimony, kara? >> tacopina said he was about
6:37 am
halfway done on thursday. that took up most of the day. if his math is correct, she could be on the stand for cross-examination for much of today. then her tierney's will have an opportunity to do what is called redirect and ask her questions for any issues that came up during cross examination. otherwise, we are looking at another long day on the witness stand for e. jean carroll. john? >> kara scannell at the courthouse. keep us posted, thank you. sarah? >> tens of thousands of people are risking their lives and traveling hundreds of miles to get out of sudan. the evacuees tell us the journey to safe land is just the beginning. this week is your chance to try any subway footlong for free. like the subway series menu. just buy any footlong in the app, and get one free. everyone loves free stuff chuck.k. can n we get peyton a footlong? get it before it's gone. on the subway app.

rulings. a voter i.d. ruling, a gerrymander ruling, and a ruling that provoked the voting rights for people who had them restored after being convicted of felonies. that partisan gerrymandering and the voter i.d. ruling, both of those have been decided by a democratic majority, just months before these ruling. but when the republicans won control of the state supreme court, justices are elected in north carolina in partisan elections. the state legislator went and asked them to review these rulings just a few months later. they agreed and reversed these rulings. when we talk about this partisan gerrymandering rolling, i cannot overstate how big of a deal this is.g in his opinion that it's not within the authority of this court to address partisan gerrymandering. he wrote that the state constitution says that the elected general assembly, with limitations, is solely
6:44 am
responsible for drawing their own political maps when it comes to redistricting. in her scathing dissent, justice anita earl, who was once a voting rights attorney herself, noted this is not how democracy should function saying that it basically allows republicans in power to draw maps so that they can stay in power regardless of the peoples will. she added that the court shows that its own wheel is more powerful than the voices of the north carolina voters. look, north carolina's congressional map is currently split seven and seven. that is likely going to change. something that on a national level, democrats are concerned about. on a state level, looking at legislative maps, there was concern there as well. sarah, this has got a lot of fallout still to go. >> it could be very significant in the upcoming years. diane gallagher, thank you so much. kate? >> another major political story that we are tracking. the chairwoman of the republican national committee, rhonda mcdaniels, is now
6:45 am
telling republicans that they need to put the issue of abortion front andr for 2024. here she is yesterday. >> abortion was a big issue key states like michigan and pennsylvania. so the guidance we will give to our candidates is you have to address this head on. the democrats spent 360 million on this. many of our candidates across the board refused to talk about it thinking, pope, we can just talk about the economy and ignore this big issue. they can't. >> abortion marched as a key issue of course in the midterm elections after the supreme overturned roe v. wade last summer. mcdaniels warning really comes after republican dominated states across the country, but including nebraska and south carolina, that failed to pass near total bans on abortion last week. conservatives helping to block those abortion bans. joining us right now south carolina republican state senator sandy sent, she was one of five women legislators in the state senate that joined together to stop the proposed
6:46 am
near total ban on abortion from passing. state senator, thank you very much for coming in. i wanted to ask you what you thought when you heard rhonda mcdaniels say that yesterday, heartache that she thinks that abortion is going to be a key issue in 2024, it republican candidates need to make it front and center. >> i think that must be the advice she has given the governor. i think it was from nebraska, which i think is going to be a very losing strategy for our republican candidates. i know that in my state we have two presidents who -- senator tim scott and former governor and even ambassador nikki haley, they have softened on the issue of abortion whereas in my state, generally, you had to be very hard and strong on it in order to win elections. they have softened as has lindsey graham and nancy mace, as they should, because that's the only winning strategy. certainly i mean in my state, we are 51% female. >> i want to ask you about
6:47 am
that. first, i want to play for everyone what you said on the senate floor last week when i saw that. i was struck by a. i know a lot of folks were, when you stood up during your filibuster against the near total ban that was proposed in south carolina. let me play this for everybody. >> abortion laws have always been, each and every one of them, about control. it's always about control, plain and simple. and in the senate, the males all have control. we, the women, have not asked for, as the senator from orangeburg pointed out yesterday, nor do we want your protection. we don't need it. we don't need it. >> you sure don't because the five senators, republican and democrat, came together, and with the help of others, you blocked that near total ban on abortion when it came up last week. what have you heard from constituents since then? >> my constituents absolutely
6:48 am
love it. and i'm talking young and old. really, a lot of independents and a lot of republican women, i've been getting $20 here, $20 there, from older ladies telling me they remember the days of the knitting needles and the coat hangers. you know, the definition of insanity is repeating yourself. so i'm really getting very positive feedback. not many negatives, but i do already have two republican males with political credentials against abortion who have already indicated they plan to run next spring. >> i was going to ask you about that actually. your party's leader, your party's leader in the state senate has made no secret that he will go after you now. he told reporters -- >> right. >> the response to senators senn will be in 2024. do you think you could lose your seat over this? >> i could, but then i could still look myself in the mirror. i can tell you that in my district, which is charleston,
6:49 am
it's been polled. my leader even pulled it and 70% of the people, republican voters, agree with me. and statewide, republican voters, 53%, agree with me. so i don't think i'm going to lose on that issue. they may think it's a misstep. i don't. i have two daughters and i'm not going to get in on this. >> where do you think this all goes from here? what is going to be the big decider in this? the conversation going on in south carolina is one that is happening in state legislatures from coast to coast. >> right. if you look at the map that everybody keeps showing, they have been showing a map that is not correct because florida needs to go ahead and be painted in as deep red after desantis signed for the six-week ban. if you look at the map, it's really scary because people who live in miami have to go all the way to south carolina. in the fall of next year, you will probably see north carolina fall.
6:50 am
then people from miami, versus the suburbs, especially the poor women who can't get a plane to get, what are they going to do? i mean it would be easier for them to get on a boat and go to another country to get an abortion where it might not be safe than it would be for them to figure out how to get themselves far northeast. in order to get medical care. keep in mind i do not support late term abortion. i don't even support abortion passed the first trimester. that's just where i landed. i want to stay in the center on this issue, and really a lot of other issues, you know it's just common sense. i want to stop with the far-right and the far left and everybody just trying to outdo each other on crazy bills. >> senator, that is why we wanted to have you on. you are a conservative through and through. your credentials and the way you voted shows that. it's very important that your voice and the voices of the only five women in the state senate have come together to speak up in this way. senator senn, thank you for
