president biden is set to host the president of the philippines this hour reaffirming america's, quote, ironclad commitment to protect the island nation as tensions with china heat up. we are following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to "cnn news central." ♪ it is possible that the man accused of gunning down this mother, her 9-year-old son, and three other family members over the weekend in texas should not have even been in the united states. sources say to cnn that francisco oropesa has been deported more than once, and there is now an $80,000 reward for his capture and more than 200 officers have been looking for him. and yet, with all of that manpower, the fbi says there are, quote, zero leads. the san jacinto county sheriff

says oropesa opened fire on his next door neighbors after they asked him to quiet down. he had been firing his rifle in the yard. the mother of 25-year-old victim sonia guzman said her daughter helped her buy a new home in hor dur honduras and she hopes sonia's body will be returned there. >> she never left me alone. it's very difficult to know i won't hear her voice anymore. she left full of excitement, and now i'm just hoping she will come back even if it is in a coffin so that i can say good-bye. >> we have cnn's ed lavandera in cleveland, texas, where the shooting happened. ed, how many times has the suspect been deported from the u.s.? >> reporter: a source with u.s. customs and enforcement says that francisco oropesa has been deported at least four times dating back to 2009. the last deportation happening in 2016. all of this raising questions,

not only about whether or not he should have been here obviously but questions about how someone with that record could also have obtained the firearms that neighbors and people around him have told us that he collected, and law enforcement had collected here from the crime scene. oropesa lived here in this neighborhood, rural neighborhood just outside of cleveland, texas, about an hour's drive north of houston. and the house you see behind me is where the deadly rampage took place on friday night. one of the owner of the house, wilson garcia talked to us yesterday, and he described the harrowing scene inside and the time that passed are ffrom the t he and several others confronted oropesa about shooting his weapons here in his yard. they simply asked him to not even stop shooting, just to fire on the other side of his property, and that's when oropesa told them it's my property, i will do what i want, and then garcia told us that 10 to 20 minutes later, oropesa

returned back to the house and unleashed that deadly rampage. >> translator: that was my 9-year-old son and my wife too. and two people who died protecting my 2 1/2-year-old daughter. my 1 1/2-month-old son was protected with a lot of clothes so the killer wouldn't kill him too. >> reporter: a quick update on a situation we're monitoring right now, the sheriff in montgomery county, which is just west of here said that they had a report of a possible sighting of the suspect just off of a highway, and they say that they are checking out that situation. that was within the last hour. this could be nothing, but they says they're searching and checking out that area intensely

out of an abundance of caution. we'll continue to monitor that throughout the afternoon. >> thank you for the very latest on that. a huge manhunt underway, jim. >> let's discuss it further with someone who knows a thing orb two about, cnn senior law enforcement analyst charles ram bli, led police departments here in washington and in philadelphia. first, chief ramsey, put yourself in this position. you're looking for a suspect armed and dangerous. they say they have no leads, could be an update on that, but if that's the case, what do you do? >> well, i mean, they're just going to continue to comb through whatever evidence they have and hopefully somebody from the public reaches out, and it's important, people may think that it's really something is not important and they don't call. it doesn't matter, just call. provide whatever information you have. in the meantime, they're going to be working with all the authorities in and around texas and elsewhere, but also in mexico. i mean, he's been deported apparently several times.

however way he snuck into the country, he'd probably just do it in reverse and get back across the border if he's able to. depends on just how mobile he is right now. they're also searching the houses in the area nearby just to make sure he didn't force his way in on someone else and he's still holding other people. so they have to pay attention to every limb thing right now in order to try to come up with just one nugget of information that will lead to his arrest. >> so let me ask you on the point you bring up, deported four times, made his way back into the country. how does that happen? you sneak your way in? and what does that show? >> well, i mean, we obviously have a lot of issues when it comes to immigration, people illegally crossing the border. i mean, there are thousands of miles of border that need to be protected and people have a way of finding the weak spot. i think the biggest issue is how he got his hands on hand guns. if he illegally entered the

country four different times, how did he possibly get his hands on a handgun, was it through private sales? was it straw purchasing? did he use a false identity and legally purchase it in a gun store? i mean, i'm sure atf is working on that right now, but how can you be deported four times and then have access to those kinds of firearms? >> one thing we know a lot of migrants come this way, we know a lot of weapons go south as has been cited by law enforcement repeatedly. i do want to ask you something, given that you've led police departments before and you've done searches before for murder suspects. when the texas governor announced that there was a reward for this, he took note, and this was in a tweet, and i think we can -- we can put this up here, something that he put out publicly to note that the victims were all illegal immigrants. is there any investigative or law enforcement value in noting that about the victims of this murder here which included an 8-year-old boy? >> absolutely not. none whatsoever. that was totally unnecessary. it has absolutely nothing to do

with the horrific crime that took place. certainly with the person who committed the crime, the fact that he was in the country illegally, but as far as the victims, they are victims and that's it, and i think that was totally inappropriate and just flat out wrong to include that in the message. there was just absolutely no need for it. >> let's talk bigger picture if we can. npr is reporting there are a record number of murders in this country are now going unsolved. the rate dropped to a record low in 2020, under 50%. less than half the murders they find the murderer and get that person -- get that person into the legal process. why is that happening? >> well, things have changed over the years. i recall when i was in the chicago police department and worked in violent crimes, 75, 80% clearance rates was not unusual. and now, you know, you're lucky to hit 50%, and it's been a gradual decline over the years.

some of it has to do with a lack of people coming forward as witnesses. that has an awful lot to do with it. certainly trust with police is a part of that particular part of it as well. so there's a combination of factors that really lead into why the clearance rate is so low. but it's -- it's really, to me, a sign that, you know, the police have to work a lot harder in building the kinds of relationships with the community that they need to build. someone out there knows who's responsible for these crimes and provide information that will lead to the arrest and conviction of the individual. we tried everything. in d.c. we had rewards for every single homicide, same thing in philadelphia. we got some leads as a result of that, but not nearly enough to raise that clearance rate beyond 60% or so. >> wow, that's a shame to hear t that trust is a factor. trust in institutions such a

broad problem we discuss every day. charles ramsey, good to have you on. now to another big headline we're following this afternoon, a massive bank takeover in an effort to end month the of chaos. overnight federal regulators seized control of first republic bank and its $229 billion worth of assets, and then they immediately sold it to the nation's largest bank, jpmorgan chase. right now wall street is reacting positively on the takeover news. the dow actually up. first republic is now 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. regulators are hoping that this move is going to boost confidence in the u.s. banking system, especially when it comes to regional banks across the country. cnn's matt egan joins us now live. he's been following all the latest details on this. matt, first republic bank had been teetering for quite some time. why did regulators choose now to act. >> well, boris the situation

simply became unsustainable. first republic was losing tens of billions of dollars of deposits. its share price was down by 97% in the span of just weeks, so something had to be done, and california regulators, they decided to step in and just shut it down. the fdic seized control, and after a competitive bidding process, they sold it to jpmorgan. let me run you through some of the numbers here. jpmorgan is paying $10.6 billion to the fdic to buy most of first republic. crucially, jp morkmorgan is acqg all $92 billion in deposits at first republic, and they're taking on about $173 billion in first republic's loans. so what does all this mean to people who have money at first republic? i think the key here is that your money is safe. those funds are just moving from one bank to another. officials say you're going to

have full access to all of your deposits, even above the $250,000 that the fdic ensures. now, i think the bigger question, though, here, is what does all of this mean for the broader economy and the risk of a potential credit crunch? now, during a call during -- during a call today with reporters, jpmorgan ceo jamie dimon expressed some confidence here that this banking crisis could be wrapping up soon. >> getting near the end of it and hopefully this will stabilize everything. the american banking system is extraordinarily sound, you know, and obviously going forward you have recessions and, you know, rates going up and stuff like that, you will see other cracks in the system. that's to be expected. the system is very, very sound. >> now, i asked dimon if the first republic failure raises the risk of a recession, which is something that he has been

very openly worried about in the past, and he said he doesn't think it necessarily raises the risk of a recession, and he does hope that the fact that jpmorgan is stepping in here and buying most of first republic that that's going to stabilize the situation. boris, let's hope it does because the longer this banking crisis goes on, the more damage it's going to do to the real economy. >> absolutely, dimon saying the banking situation has been stabilized, but the economy not yet completely out of the woods. matt egan, thank you so much for that report. boris, still ahead, e. jean carroll back on the stand today in the civil defamation case. the judge denying the former president's call for a mistrial. we are live at the courthouse. plus, tens of thousands of people risking their lives and traveling hundreds of miles to get out of sudan. evacuees tell us the journey to safety is just the beginning. we're going to show you their stories. and later, the ocean blob,

developing as we speak in the ongoing civil battery and defamation trial of donald trump, an attorney for the former president is continuing to cross examine e. jean carroll. this is the woman who accused trump of assaulting her in a new york department store in the 1990s. ahead of today's testimony, a judge denied trump's request for a mistrial. trump's lawyer argued that the judge made pervasive, unfair, and prejudicial rulings against him. kara scannell has been covering the case. she's outside the courthouse in manhattan. so kara, we continue the cross examination of e. jean carroll by trump's attorneys. we know their goal here is to try to undermine her credibility. what's been happening the last hour? >> reporter: yeah, jim, that's right. the name of the game today for trump's defense team is to try to attack e. jean carroll's credibility, they've been focusing on her actions after this alleged rate, at the department store in the mid-1990s. part of their questioning has

been, you know, if you were so traumatized by this experience, then why did you do certain things after them. one of them they pulled up a spreadsheet of some spending that e. jean carroll did at bergdorf goodman. she spent at least $13,000. they asked her about that. here's what her testimony was, she said i made that clear that bergdorf's is not a place i'm afraid to enter. they also questioned her about her facebook posts. one post said she was a massive fan of "the apprentice." carol said that she was a fan of the competition between the aspiring business entrepreneurs, but she said she didn't watch the portion of it at the end where trump fired certain contestants from the show. she also was asked, you know, why didn't she ever call the police when she had advised numerous writers to advice column to do that very thing. all again steps to trayy to attk

her credibility. they showed a number of clips including when she was on anderson cooper after her book came out in 2019 as well as some others saying she was looking for publicity for this book. she acknowledged that it didn't sell. she called it a dud, and she also was asked through all of these interviews that you gave, the only time you became emotional and cried about what happened to you was on your testimony on the stand. she did become emotional several times during her testimony last week, and carroll acknowledged that, yes, that was true. that was the only time that she did. she said in this courtroom i'm being forced to tell the truth. jim. >> good to have you there, kara scannell, thanks so much for us. let's expand the conversation now about what all of this means for trump with cnn legal analyst and former federal prosecutor elliot williams. elliott, great to have you. this isn't the only time that we've seen donald trump try to argue that court officials should be dismissed because they're biased. what's the standard for that? how often does that actually

work? >> well, i think it's highly unlikely for it ever to work to say a judge is biased on account of the judge's own rulings. one of the things they make in this motion is because of a number of statements made by the judge, a number of rulings by the judge, there's no way that donald trump could get a fair trial. that's the standard for a mistrial where there's some error that is so egregious that the parties can't get a fair trial. this -- you know, this was never going to win. however, it is important that they filed it now because if donald trump loses in order to be able to raise it later on, he has to have filed it at trial. >> that makes sense. and how about the cross examination from trump's attorney joe tacopina. legal experts said it was outdated, asking e. jean carroll why she didn't cry about the alleged rape before, what do you make of his questioning? >> look, it's not uncommon in sexual assault cases to go after the credibility of the individual who is bringing the

allegation, right? it's sort of icky because of the fact that in most of these instances you have one person's testimony against another. so it is fair game to say how long, you know -- hold on. i'm hearing some noise back there. >> sorry about that. >> it's okay. it's entirely fair to say, you know, these are old allegations. why are you just bringing these now and so on. it's important to note in any crime, in any criminal case what is at stake and what is being decided, and in a battery case, as it is here, was there an unwanted touching of the defendant by the plaintiff. period. all this stuff about why didn't you call the cops, did you yell loud enough. why didn't you talk -- it's simply ancillary. look, it goes to her credibility and maybe it gets in a juror's head, but what she should say in her closing argument is put all that noise aside and what i have alleged is that i was touched in an unwanted way full stop. >> yeah. let's turn now to the investigation in fulton county where trump is accused of trying

to overturn the 2020 election because there he also filed to try to have not only the judge dismissed but also d.a. fani willis claiming that they are biased. willis has tweeted out a political cartoon, for example, made several public statements about trump. today a judge extended the deadline for her to respond to that attempt. what do you make of the extension? >> well, it's voluminous motion that president trump -- because number one, it's talking about as well as his conduct, the conduct of the grand jury foreperson and her public statements in a number of matters, and judges often extend time just to give a party more time to respond. it's another instance of if you lose you have to have filed it at the trial earlier on. look, with respect to fani willis's own statements, we have this system in the united states where prosecutors run in partisan elections and make statements all the time. they're all political figures. you're going to have a really hard time getting a case tossed out on account of a statement made by a prosecutor on the campaign trail.

you just are. >> yeah, and notably, we are awaiting a potential indictment of the former president. she said it would happen in summer. she sent a letter to law enforcement saying to prepare for that potential indictment. elliot williams getting oafver e technical difficulties. rolling with the punches. thanks for being with us. president biden is set to welcome the president of the philippines to the white house this hour, and this trip is happening against the backdrop of deepening u.s. tensions with philippines' neighbor china. plus, continued anger over the new pension law in france fueled today's may day protests. we're going to take you live to the streets of paris. stay with us. your shipping manager left to “find themself.” leaving you lost. you need to hire. i needndeed. indeedou do. indeed instant mat instantly delivers quality candidates matching your job deription.

in texas the manhunt for a suspect accused of fatally shooting five people including a 9-year-old boy and his mother continues at this hour. francisco oropesa is accused of a bloody rampage at his neighbor's home just outside of houston late on friday night. right now, hundreds of law enforcement officers are se searching far and wide for this suspect who is considered armed and dangerous. keep in mind, survivors say that oropesa became angry after they asked him to stop firing his rifle so close to their house. we're also following another huge bank failure. first republic bank being bought by jpmorgan chase, this after a frenzy of emergency moves this weekend ending with regulators seizing first republic's $233 billion worth of assets. first republic is now the third bank to fail in just the past seven weeks.

regulators are hoping this move is going to boost confidence in the u.s. banking system. any moment now, boris, president biden will be welcoming filipino president ferdinand marcos jr. to the white house. his visit is part of the president's efforts to strengthen security and also economic relations between the u.s. and the philippines, and of course this is all happening amid these regional concerns over an increasingly aggressive china. we have phil mattingly at the white house for us. so phil, you have the president looking to reset this relationship. you cannot miss his concentration on shoring up these alliances with asian countries, right? following on the state visit last week from the south korean president. >> reporter: yeah, it's been such an animating feature of the president's really entire foreign policy, but certainly his foreign policy in the region, and that is either reestablishing alliances that had shown signs of fraying or starting to wane in terms of their importance or their focus over the course of the years leading up to this moment or trying to ensure that alliances

that have long existed only grow. and i think this is one of those cases where it's somewhere in between. you will recognize the name of the current leader of the philippines. he's the son of the late and deposed dictator ferd inand marcus, one where there is still litigation related to the father in the country, and yet, the u.s. has utilized the ascension of the younger ferdinand marcos, ferdinand marcos jr. as an effort to almost do a complete reversal on a relationship that had waned under duterte, and has shown very clear results in the course of less than a year. including an expansion of u.s. access to military bases on the island. this is a meeting that is critical, not just for the region but also in the partner to partner ties between the two countries as they continue to expand their military to military relationship, also economic relationship, trade relationship as well. and you hit the key point, while administration officials try and make clear this isn't about one

nation, this isn't about just china, it very clearly is central to the focus, the northernmost point of the philippines only 100 miles away from taiwan, which is obviously at the center of the tensions between the united states and china at the moment. and what the president and his national security team have very clearly been doing over the course of two plus years is trying to pull tighter the alliances that have been long-standing. this is certainly a focal point of that effort as will be shown when the two presidents meet in the oval office in just a few moments. >> really something to watch, phil mattingly, our chief white house correspondent, thank you so much. jim, it's just so interesting how you see he's shoring up these alliances, and he's also building out the u.s. footprint in the region. >> no question. key thing about these alliances is bases. let's have a look at military bases in the region. let's start with where the key u.s. military bases are right now in the region. of course u.s. ally japan, defense agreement with them. you have it both on the mainland there and then down in okinawa, south korea, mutual defense

agreement there. and guam. gives you coverage for naval and air assets. philippines, thuunder this new agreement, expansion, they're going to have access to all these bases across the philippines providing enormous air and sea coverage in the south. as phil noted, very close to taiwan here, the u.s. concerned about chinese designs on an invasion, the top island just about 100 miles away. but also the south china sea where multiple countries including u.s. allies claim access here. china is claiming it as its own, u.s. doesn't buy that, and several of its allies also have cl claims in this region here. how else do they demonstrate the alliance? they have military exercises. and just in the last few days, the u.s. and the philippines have had their biggest exercises they've ever had before. you do things like practicing air airlift, et cetera, getting those forces to work together. getting them under the same command structure in the event

of military action. i want to drawing your attention to one thing they did in these exercises. that is this. they sank a ship, this ship here, joint exercises, you can see it obviously a radar image in there is the ship. it went under. where did that exercise take place? it took place here in the south china sea where china claims it, u.s. denies those claims. that's important, it's notable. and by the way, when you do those exercises, it's not just about the military training, it's about sending a very public message to china about the u.s. military presence in asia. boris. >> an important story to keep an eye on, jim. we are obviously watching the president of the philippines as he visits the white house. we'll keep you posted on what comes of that meeting. staying overseas, 100 americans who evacuated from war-torn sudan have mow reached the port city of jeddah, saudi arabia. this after leaving port sudan on the u.s. and s. brunswick yesterday where american service members guided the boarding

process. the u.s. consul general in jeddah said a thousand americans have been evacuated since the start of the conflict. they are among the tens of thousands who have fled that country. in the last two weeks, more than 500 people have died in the fighting between opposing military factions. cnn's larry madowo is in jeddah, saudi arabia, for us, and he spoke with evacuees after they arrived. >> reporter: this is where the journey from port sudan to jeddah ends where people are received by staff from the u.s. embassy, the u.s. consulate in jeddah. the head of the consulate here has been personally here speaking to the people, carrying luggage across from the ship, and then the process over there getting the documents looked at, and then they go over across to the other side to clear customs, have their passports stamped and they're into saudi territory. many people are grateful to the saudis for having organized this. because before there was this

u.s. naval ship, many came on saudi royal navy ship, and they were just grateful to be away from an active war zone. many of them had kids, families, elderly people, those who were sick, some who were stretching out of the ships. it's such a relief for them to be away from that. but also, a sense of survivor's guilt that they are lucky to get out because they have passports. for many others, they don't have the same privilege, and so many heartbreaking stories, people in tears at being able to leave when so many family members, even those sick or elderly are stuck in sudan as this fighting just drags on. quite a scene that's been playing out over the last two weeks. this fighting is now in day three and this port of jeddah has become the main extraction point for so many people fleeing the fighting in sudan. lar larry mad doe wa. >> a reminder of what those left

behind are doing. boris, fury on the streets of paris this may day, clashes all day long enraged by a new law that raises france's retirement age to 64. riot police have been using water cannons to disperse demonstrators. more than 100 officers have been injured. more than 280 people have been arrested. let's go now to cnn's melissa bell. she is on the streets of paris for us. i know it was really hard earlier just covering this to escape some of that wafting tear gas that was unleashed. what is the situation like now? >> reporter: well, this is where the march came to an end. it was this destination. as you can see behind me, the riot police are just now trying to clear the last of the protesters out. it has been, brianna, even by the standards of the last few weeks in france, a day of remarkable violence. pitch battles between the riot police and you see lined up here

and the black block protesters that came out in their many, many hundreds today, far more than any of the other protests. these are the most radical extreme elements that really seek out the confrontation with the police. that's why you've seen so much water cannon, tear gas, so many moments of direct confrontation between protesters and police. behind that there were of course all the hundreds of thousands of people who protested far more peacefully. and in fact, the figures will be good use to the unions, nearly 800,000 people nationally, more than 110,000 people here in paris. and that makes it the biggest protest that we've seen since this movement began on january 19th. something of a success for the unions. they now regroup tomorrow morning to decide what their next step is because even if this pension reform is now becoming law, they intend to carry on fighting, and they'll be deciding tomorrow whether the next day of protests is wednesday or june the 8th. but they intend to get once again many more people out on

the streets of paris to make clear their discontent. this matters beyond the particular age of the retirement age from 62 to 64, for what it means for emmanuel macron's ability to govern beyond that and get through the many ambitious reforms he had planned for his next four years in government. >> certainly does, and it is just extraordinary to see what we are seeing there on the streets of the city behind you. melissa bell, live for us in paris, thank you so much. rebuilding social connections and community is now a top public health priority in this country. why the surgeon general is making the case against loneliness just ahead. it's important. plus, the clock is ticking in hollywood as thousands of riders could go on strike at the stroke of midnight tonight, which could then shut down production on a lot of television shows you've been watching. we're going to bring you the latest status coming up.
