just ahead, a days' long manhunt is finally over. authorities in texas capture the man accused of gunning down five of his neighbors, including a child. readying the troops, the u.s. prepares to send hundreds of service members to its southern boarder in anticipation of a massive surge of migrants. and later, tackling loneliness. the u.s. surgeon general lays out a plan to address what he calls an epidemic of isolation in an effort to improve social connections. >> live from cnn center, this is "cnn newsroom" with rosemary church. >> and thanks for joining us. well, after a four-day manhunt, the suspect in the fatal shooting of five people, including a mother and her 9-year-old son in texas was arrested tuesday evening. authorities say 38-year-old
12:02 am
francisco oropesa was found hiding in a closet under some laundry at a home just miles from the house where the killings took place. oropesa is being held on five counts of murder with bonds set at $5 million and will appear in court later today. and because he is a mexican national, the mexican consulate will be notified. cnn's josh campbell has details. >> reporter: a major development in southeast texas. authorities announcing tuesday the arrest of a man accused of brutally murdering five people. authorities say 38-year-old francisco oropesa was taken into custody without incident. he is charged with opening fire on the home of his neighbors after being asked to stop shooting late at night on friday. that of course sparking a massive manhunt involving hundreds of law enforcement officers in texas as well as authorities in mexico. sources told cnn that authorities along the u.s.-mexico border had been on
12:03 am
alert, concerned the suspect may try to flee in the state. but ultimately authorities say they arrested him just less than 25 kilometers from the original crime scene. the sheriff there in texas spoke about the arrest. >> the bottom line is we now have this man in custody. he was caught hiding in a closet underneath some laundry. they effectively made the arrest. he is uninjured. >> reporter: authorities had announced an $80,000 reward leading to oropesa's capture. an unidentified tipster called the fbi providing them with the location where he was ultimately taken into custody by tactical officers without incident. he is currently being held on $5 million bond. the sheriff saying he faces five counts of murder. josh campbell, cnn, los angeles. >> joining me now from los angeles is cnn law enforcement contributor steve moore. he is a retired fbi supervisory special agent. good to have you with us on this
12:04 am
story. >> thanks for having me, rosemary. >> so the texas shooting suspect, francisco oropesa is in custody, found hiding in a closet underneath some laundry, the climax to a four-day-long manhunt after he allegedly fatally shot five neighbors, including an 9-year-old boy with an ar-15 style rifle. so what are you hearing about the circumstances leading up to his capture? >> well, there is a couple of things that are conflicting to me at this early stage. one is that the fbi said this was involved with a tip. but the other one said the fbi followed the wife of the suspect to a home. so somewhere that's either been miscommunicated or garbled in transmission. but i'm just glad they found him so quickly. and really, once they're out for 24, 48 hours, they're going to
12:05 am
be out a long time. so this was a relatively quick result. >> right. so as you say, the information that led to the suspect's arrest came through the fbi's tip line perhaps, or as you say, the other possibility of police following the suspect's wife to this home. but you say this four-day-long manhunt wasn't very long. a lot of people are saying this took a very long time, and he was only 17 miles or so away from his home where these shootings took place. so you would say that's a fairly swift capture? >> well, you know, there are two ways of seeing it. to anybody who is in a community where there is a killer on the loose, any time it's going to seem like a long time. and i don't mean to minimize that at all. what i am saying is you usually, if you -- you usually catch them in the first 24 hours, maybe 48.
12:06 am
if you don't get them in that time, the area where they could have gone to is just immense. and so i've had -- i've had fugitives that have been gone for more than a year after they got into that kind of situation. so while it's -- while it may seem a long time, and it certainly is a long time for people who are grieving or people who are afraid, for law enforcement, this was quicker than i would say average. >> and, of course, we heard that this was in a home. he was hiding in a closet under the laundry. possibly a relative's home. so and if the wife was followed to this home, what happens to them if they've been part of this, an accessory to? >> well, they're in some trouble. first of all, how did he get 17 miles? he may have had some assistance. second of all, the wife knew where he was. and if she was bringing him food
12:07 am
or anything like that or money, she is an accessory after the fact. and they will know that by the time they even found him. so anybody involved in hiding him, in feeding him, in supporting him, anything are known as accessories after the fact. and they have some serious felony time possible ahead of them. >> and for a few days there, there were zero leads, and the police said that zero leads on the suspect's whereabouts. how often does that happen? and what would the fbi be doing in those sorts of circumstances when there are absolutely no leads in the case to follow? >> well, there is usual ly no leads in the case, especially when somebody bails out after a crime that was not planned. there is no leads because they have no plans for you to fall on. to but what we would do, and
12:08 am
frequently i would go to their phone records. i would go through any information which would give me a list of their family and friends. and then i would find out who might be -- who might be, you know, helping him, who might be predisposed to help him. the wife is somebody you would want to follow. i remember one fugitive case that i was working, we saw -- we just went out and found anybody who this person trusted and set up surveillance on them. and one guy who lived alone, he came home one night and he had two bags of fast food and two drinks. if he lives alone, he's got a visitor, and that's where the person was. >> interesting. and what do you think will likely happen to the suspect now? >> well, he's going to be remanded at custody. he got a $5 million bail amount. i'm surprised he got any bail
12:09 am
with his history. he's going to be charged almost certainly for capital murder. and it's going to be hard to fight that with the witnesses that were left behind. >> steve moore, thank you so much for joining us. i appreciate it. >> thank you. mexico has agreed to continue accepting some migrants the u.s. rejects after may 11. that is when a u.s. government rule called title 42 is set to expire. so u.s. border cities are bracing for a massive migrant surge. and the pentagon is sending hundreds of more troops to the border to help manage the crisis. cnn's natasha bertrand explains. >> reporter: secretary of defense lloyd austin on tuesday approved a request by the department of homeland security to send an additional 1500 active duty u.s. troops to the southern boarder in anticipation of the expiration of a pandemic
12:10 am
era law that allowed the administration to expel migrants more quickly. now the administration is expecting that when that law expires on may 11th, a surge of migrants are going to try to cross the border into the united states. so the department of homeland security asked the pentagon if they would be willing to send an additional 1500 troops to support the department of homeland security's department to help manage that expected surge. importantly, these troops are not expected to perform a law enforcement function, meaning they won't be out in the field day to day engaging with migrants. but they are expected to help cbp, the custom and border patrol officials as well as dhs kind of free up resources so that that department can then perform its law enforcement functions. so what does that mean? that means that essentially these troops will be doing administrative tasks. they will be doing things like data entry, warehouse support, logistics, things that will essentially keep them behind a desk. but still, the fact that the department of homeland security
12:11 am
requested this additional support really underscores just how concerned the administration is about a potential major migrant surge on may 11th, the day that that title 42 pandemic law is set to expire. and we should also note that these troops are only expected to be there for 90 days, and the pentagon is trying to figure out a way to kind of rotate some of those troops out and replace them with national guard troops so that those active duty service members don't have to be on the border for the full 90 days. natasha bertrand, cnn at the pentagon. the u.s. federal reserve is expected to raise interest rates today for a second time this year. experts say it's likely to increase by a quarter point. it comes just days after the collapse of first republic bank, the second biggest bank failure in u.s. history. analysts say the collapse was precipitated by the central bank's year-long rate hiking
12:12 am
campaign. [ applause ] [ closing bell ] and the expected hike is causing jitters on wall street. u.s. stocks ended sharply lower on tuesday as investors grew fearful the turmoil in the banking sector had not been contained. the dow, nasdaq and s&p 500 were all down and regional bank shares also tumbled. the u.s. house speaker will meet next week with president joe biden, according to a source familiar with the matter. they are set to discuss the looming debt default, which treasury secretary janet yellen says could happen by june 1st. house democrats don't appear to be getting much traction on a long shot procedural move to raise the nation's debt limit. cnn's tom foreman looks at the potential consequences from a default, not only in the u.s., but around the globe. >> reporter: air travel,
12:13 am
transportation, customs, mail delivery, and many more services closely linked to federal funding might face severe interruptions. social security checks could be cut off. thousands of federal workers fur furloughed. and as all that money drained away from consumer spending, it might send the u.s. and global economies into a tailspin, and perhaps even a major depression. >> we know that it would be a catastrophe for our country to default. >> reporter: yet treasury secretary janet yellen in a letter to house speaker kevin mccarthy warns it could all happen, potentially as early as june 1st. and it would cause severe hardship to american families. financial analysts broadly agree the stock market would plummet, tanking 401(k)s and other investment savings for millions of families. unemployment would leap up. state programs, which rely on federal backing could also be sent reeling, and the banking
12:14 am
system already rattled by recent problems -- >> it's not in a position of strength that you can throw on another issue like the debt ceiling and say well, the markets will just, you know, this will be water off a duck's back. no, it won't. this could be something that could metastasize into a bigger problem when you already start with markets that that are in the position they're in right now. >> reporter: it's all a guessing game since the federal government has never defaulted before. but in 2011, the obama administration and congressional republicans fought to the wire over spending and debt with then vice president joe biden in the negotiating chair. >> we have to get this out of the way to get to the issue of growing the economy. >> reporter: and based on just coming that close to default -- >> the stock market fell 17% in a seven-week span. the credit rating in the u.s. got downgraded, and we had a noticeable tightening of credit. >> reporter: all of these dire warnings are based on just a few days of default. if it goes longer, it could get
12:15 am
much, much worse, according to analysts, making it harder for you to make more money, to borrow more money, or even keep the money you have. tom foreman, cnn, washington. >> joining me now is betsy stevenson, a professor of public policy and economics at the university of michigan. she also served on president obama's council of economic advisers. thank you so much for being with us. >> it's great to talk with you again. >> so america is hurtling toward a possible economic catastrophe if republicans fail to lift the debt ceiling before the june 1 deadline. and now we wait to see what the federal reserve will do in the coming hours when it meets to decide whether to raise interest rates and by how much. what do you expect they will do, given the looming debt crisis? >> well, you know, i think that the fed not raising rates tomorrow will actually do very
12:16 am
little to help the u.s. economy if the government decides to default on the debt. defaulting on the debt is such a big problem, whether the fed has raised interest rates 25 basis points or not is really going to be a drop in the bucket at that point. so i think from the fed's perspective, what they need to do is keep their eye on their goal, which is to bring inflation down in a stable way as possible. right now, the markets are really expecting a 25 basis point increase, and that's what they'll probably deliver, because they like to deliver what the market is expecting. i think what people are going to be looking for is what kind of forward guidance the fed gives. is the fed going to say hey, we're raising rates now, but it's likely, depending on how the future goes, that we'll be able to just hold rates here for a while. in other words, are they going to signal that they're more likely to hold in june?
12:17 am
are they going to signal that more rate rises might be coming? my money is on signaling that they're going to hold. and that's because they know that there is a bunch of other stuff that's doing the work for them of tightening the u.s. economy. you mentioned the debt ceiling. that's one of those other things. and the debt crisis that we've seen is another aspect that has led to a chilling effect on the u.s. economy. and so there is less the fed needs to do to chill it themselves. >> reporter: so in the coming hours, is there any reasonable case to be made for the fed not to raise interest rates? any chance that might happen? and what is the strongest argument for hitting the pause button on interest rate hikes right now? >> well, there is an argument to be made for hitting the pause on interest rate hikes right now. i think the strongest argument for that is that we have not seen the full effects of the rate increases the fed has
12:18 am
already made, and we haven't seen the full effect of the credit tightening that's coming out of the banking crisis. and so the fed could say look, we're going to pause now and just see what happens over the next month, and we're going to reassess in june. certainly a case can be made for that. it's not what i expect them to do. but i think that's the case to be made for it. i don't think that they want to signal that they're causing because congress is out of control and they don't know whether they're going to let the debt ceiling be breached. i don't think that's the business the fed wants to be in. that will feel like they're getting in the middle of a political battle. >> and betsey, how bad is the economy right now, given the looming crisis, high inflation, banking sector jitters, and rumors of a possible recession made all the more likely if america defaults on its debt come june 1st? >> well, i think the u.s.
12:19 am
economy is actually still quite strong, but it is teetering i think is the way to think about it. a strong economy, teeter. we see a very strong labor market, but the labor market is clearly slowing. we're seeing -- hiring is roughly at the same strong pace it's been at. but what we're seeing when we dig deep in and look at say separations, people leaving jobs, the people leaving jobs have now been a little bit more likely to lose their jobs, to have been laid off rather than to have quit their jobs. people quit in the time of optimism, they lose their job in a time in which the economy is starting to pull back. so we do see some signs of tightening. but overall, you know, we saw gdp growth slow in the first quarter of the year. so there are signs of a slowing economy. but it's still an economy that's growing. >> betsey stevenson, thank you so much for your analysis. appreciate it.
12:20 am
>> thank you. and still to come, tensions ease for now between the israelis and palestinians after the death of a prominent islamic jihad figure sparked a barrage of rocket fire. we will have a live report from jerusalem. and later this hour, ukraine's president says he learned about the latest pentagon leaks not from white house, but from watching the news. we'll have more on that. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker suppororting 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriva: think bigger.

12:24 am
welcome back, everyone. an intense exchange of fire between palestinian militants in gaza and the israeli military has come to an end for now. the massive round of rockets and air strikes was sparked by the death of kadul adnan, a prominent figure with the palestinian islamic jihad who died after a month-long hunger
12:25 am
strike in custody. haddas gold is live with us. what more you learning about this? >> this truce if you can call it that was called in the early hours of this morning. the palestinian islamic jihad saying this confrontation is over and idf telling me though there is no formal ceasefire, that messages were exchanged, which we are led to believe and understand that things will be quiet for now, and that things are over. but it was a rather intense 20 hours or so of exchanges of rocket fire, the israeli military saying more than 100 rockets for fired from gaza towards israel. and the israeli military responding with at least two rounds of air strikes. they not only used military jet, but also helicopters. israeli military saying they targeted what they said were hamas targets including outposts, weapons manufacturing sites, and underground tunnels. the israeli military saying they
12:26 am
targeted 16 specific targets and they say they accomplished everything they wanted to in this round of fighting. we are learning just in the last few minutes or so that one palestinian machine, a 58-year-old man was killed as a result of these air strikes. that's according to the health ministry in gaza. they also say five others were injured. yesterday three people in southern israel were injured as a result of rocket fire, of shrapnel. one of them a 25-year-old man suffered serious injuries according to emergency medical services. the round of fight was short but still led to some casualties. this was all sparked by the death of kadir adnan. he was considered a leader in islamic jihad. he became really the face of palestinian resistance, of palestinian prisoners. he had been in prison at least ten times since the early 2000s. and this was not his first hunger strike. this was his sixth hunger strike. this went on for more than 86 days.
12:27 am
the israeli prison authorities saying yesterday they found him unconscious in his cell. they said he had been continuing to refuse medical treatment and he was found dead. we saw some very swift responses to his death from islamic jihad, who not only fired rockets, but also immediately promoted a nan to become a commander. there was a one-day strike across the west bank and gaza as a result of his death, and other palestinian prisoners in israeli prisons went on hunger strikes themselves as a results of this. what's interesting actually is kadir adnan's wife actually spoke to the media saying she didn't want rockets to be fired from gaza. she didn't want more blood to be spilled. but clearly that message was necessarily taken. an intense but short round of fighting. this was clearly kept a little bit shorter than what it could have turned into. but it goes to show you how intense things can get here and how quickly it can turn into something potentially violent
12:28 am

we are getting new reports of heavy clashes today in sudan. witnesses say there were explosions near the presidential palace in khartoum, and a civilian resistance group says at least six civilians were killed in the city tuesday.
12:33 am
air strikes and anti-aircraft fire were also reported in a nearby city. and this comes just hours after sudan's warring factions agreed in principle to a new cease-fire starting thursday according to mediator south sudan. this is supposed to last a week. but a series of earlier cease-fires all failed to stop the firing. saudi arabia says its cultural attache was ransacked by an armed group. and the u.n. refugee says more than 100,000 people from sudan have now fled to neighboring countries. cnn's senior africa editor stephanie busari joins us now live from lagos. good morning to you stephanie. what is the latest on these new reports of fighting incidents capital and in other parts of the country? >> reporter: good morning, rosemary. so we're hearing reports of
12:34 am
violent explosions in khartoum, the capital. and it really puts paid to any hopes of a cease-fire holding. since the start of this conflict, more than two weeks ago, many ceasefires have been promised, and they just haven't held. so not much hope was held out for this one. but south sudan mediators seemed confident that this seven-day cease-fire would hold and that both sides had agreed in principle to sit down and talk and stop the fighting. so that much needed aid, so that people of khartoum can get some semblance of norm nalt back to their lives. those people are waking up this morning to the sound of very heavy fire. and in west darfur, we're hearing more reports of violence in ethnic clashes there. now rosemary, this comes against
12:35 am
the backdrop of the anniversary, 20-year anniversary of the start of the darfur genocide, which you remember killed some 200,000 people and left millions of people displaced. so darfur is now again at the center of this fighting and conflict is very worrying indeed. you know, it's just a very dire situation all around, and no sign of respite, rosemary. >> it is dire indeed. stephanie busari joining us live from lagos. many thanks. ukraine is reporting another round of drone strikes by russia. kyiv's air force command says there are no casualties or extensive damage. meanwhile, we're seeing more evidence that ukraine may be striking back inside russia and russian occupied territory. russian installed official in has been wounded by an patient explosive device in his front yard.
12:36 am
a police chief was killed last week in a similar incident, which russia called sabotage by a reconnaissance group. and a second russian freight train has derailed this week in russia's bryansk region. the governor blames an explosive twice. no one was killed in either derailment. meanwhile, ukraine's president tells "the washington post" he learned about the recent leak of pentagon documents not from the white house, but from news reports. cnn's scott mclean is live in london. he joins us now. good morning to you scott. what more are you learning about this? >> good morning, rosemary. so president zelenskyy did this wide ranging interview with "washington post." and if it he revealed, as you mentioned, that he had not heard from the white house or the pentagon before he actually learned about this leak of pentagon classified documents from news reports. so this is part of what he told "the washington post."
12:37 am
he said i did not receive information from the white house or the pentagon beforehand. we did not have that information. i personally did not. it's definitely a bad story. now those leaked classified documents from the pentagon which were allegedly taken by 21-year-old air national guardsman who is now under arrest revealed things like potential battlefield plans. they revealed potentially that ukraine was running low on vital air defense ammunition and plenty of other bits of sensitive information. a source close to president zelenskyy said at the time of the leaks ukraine had altered its battlefield plans as a result of the leak. we know there series hass been discussions wean the u.s. and ukraine when it comes to release of this classified information. secretary of state met with dmytro kuehl lane be a, but that was after these leaks had already come to light in the
12:38 am
press. the pentagon secretary was asked about zelenskyy's claim that he learn:00 it from press reports. he said i can't speak whether it was true north. but insisted lloyd austin had met with his counterparts, including the ukrainian minister. the u.s. is spying on ukrainian official, including president zelenskyy himself. when the post asks to respond to that, he left a heck of a lot unsaid, instead making very clear that he didn't want to say anything that may jeopardize the u.s.-ukraine relationship. so he said this, quote, where i can speak frankly, i do it. but there are risks. if it were my war against putin and two on the battlefield, i would tell everything what think of them. today we are all responsible. so it's difficult to understate
12:39 am
the importance of the relationship with the u.s. with the ukranians. but when the pentagon spokesperson was asked if there is still any kind of a rift in the u.s.-ukrainian relationship, he actually ducked the question. rosemary? >> all right. scott mclean joining us live from london with that report. appreciate it. and still to come, the u.s. surgeon general warns of an epidemic of loneliness and isol isolation. what he says is behind it, and what's being proposed to tackle the problem. we're back with that in a moment.

12:42 am
12:43 am
the u.s. surgeon general is working to tackle what he calls
12:44 am
a growing loneliness and isolation epidemic. dr. vivek murthy says about one in two adults in america report experiencing loneliness, adding that it's been a problem even before the covid-19 pandemic took its toll. he has released a framework outlining a new national strategy to tackle the issue. some of his recommendations include strengthening social infrastructure in communities through boosting public programs, adopting a pro connection public policies that focus on reducing disparities in connection, and increasing investment in educating health care providers about benefits of social connection. dr. julianne lund stand is a professor of ike. >> and neuroscience at brigham young university where she is also director of the neuroscience social lab. she joins us from salt lake city
12:45 am
in utah. we appreciate you being with us. >> oh, it's my pleasure. thank you. >> so why are we seeing this epidemic of loneliness? what factors are causes this? >> well, of course it's probably not just one thing. but certainly modern social distance society has made it easier for us to spend more and more time alone, in isolation. and to in essence be able to meet many of our needs without having to interact with people. we can shop online. committee with get our entertainment from home. we can work from home. and we're seeing inyearsing trends of people spending more and more time in isolation and less time with friends. less time with family, less time with family outside their home. so it's not surprising we're seeing increasing rates of loneliness as well.
12:46 am
>> and the latest evidence suggests that loneliness can be as life-threatening as smoking and can even increase the risk of cardiovascular dee, stroke, premature death, all very shock. how do people build a community around themselves if they realize that they are feeling this intense loneliness? >> so if you get yourself into a position where you are ready, intensely lonely, and this has been occurring for an extended period of time. it may be important to get some help. so this can either be help from friends or family, or help from a poefrl. but there areprofessional. but there are steps we can take, things like mindfulness based
12:47 am
meditation. but there are also things that any one of us can do to prevent this. and that's by engaging socially with others, maintaining our friendships, reaching out to that friend or family members that you haven't talked to in a while. friendship and relationships take time, and we need to invest in them. and so just like we need to make time every day to be physically active, we need to make time to be socially active as well. >> yeah, certainly the pandemic has made so many things popp possible at home, as you point out, and people are getting to the point where it's almost caused them anxiety to go out and socialize. it will be interested to get an idea of who tends to be most vulnerable to the risk of loneliness? is it mainly introverts or perhaps more likely extroverts who have some hoy become cut off
12:48 am
