a strong denial from the white house. they call russia's latest claims ridiculous. this after the kremlin suggested the u.s. directed ukraine to carry out that alleged drone attack. brand-new jobs numbers just in to cnn. what they say about the state of the u.s. economy now just after the federal reserve announced another interest rate hike. the third this year. captured after a nearly eight-hour search in atlanta. police arrested a man accused of opening fire inside a medical center. at least one person has died. ahead, what we're learning about the victims and a potential motive behind that shooting. these major stories and many more coming in right here to "cnn news central." ridiculous. that's what the white house is calling russia's baseless accusation this morning that the
6:02 am
u.s. directed ukraine to carry out that alleged drone attack on the kremlin. moscow claims that this was an attempt to assassinate russian president vladimir putin. ukraine has strongly denied any involvement and there is no evidence to support any of these new claims. cnn analysis of this video that circulated online does confirm that an attack or something happened, but it is still unclear where these drones came from. cnn's nic robertson is in eastern ukraine this morning. nic, several cities in ukraine, at least three have seen some of the heaviest bombing or shelling from the russians in months. what do you make of it? >> in the capital kyiv, a city official said this was the heaviest they've seen this year. everything fired at kyiv shot down. drones fired in the southern region of odesa. 15 of these unmanned aerial vehicles fired in the area of
6:03 am
odesa. three landed on educational facilities. what was interesting here is on the tail fins of these drones was written the message from mo moscow, from kremlin, an apparent reference to the alleged drone strike on the kremlin itself. the place that took the hardest hammering was kherson. russians think this is a place where ukrainians will launch a counter offensive from. 539 artillery rounds fired into that city by early this morning according to local officials. that was the end of an air raid alert here. sorry. just getting rid of that air raid warning. end of air raid warning. in that city of kherson, there were 23 people killed. 46 of them wounded. two of them children. that was the most intense shelling since the beginning of the war on the city of kherson.
6:04 am
that may speak more to the possibility of a counteroffensive. interestingly, president zelenskyy meeting today with the dutch and belgian prime minister in the hague, speaking about president putin's war criminal designation at the international criminal court, jokingly saying i think you probably want to see the other vladimir here. >> of course we all want to see different vladimir here in the hague. the one who deserves to be sentenced for these criminal actions right here in the capital of the international law. and i'm sure we will see that happen when we win.
6:05 am
and we will win. >> but there was a very serious message from president zelenskyy in the netherlands, thanking allies and partners for support, asking for more weapons, thanking them for tanks, asking for more armored vehicles and asking again for fighter aircraft which interestingly the dutch prime minister did not rule out as a possibility. john? >> nic robertson for us in eastern ukraine, stay safe. those air raid warnings that nic is getting is a part of life there and it reflects the reality on the ground. joining us now is retired general wesley clark. general, you know, it's no coincidence that nic is hearing those air raid warnings now. overnight, officials in kyiv say they received the most russian bombings and attacks since the beginning of this year. kherson, 23 people have died in the last few days. in odesa, there were drone attacks overnight. one of them apparently had this message written on it that said
6:06 am
for the kremlin. theoretically for the attack on the kremlin there. why do you think russia is targeting these cities in this way right now? >> i think it's an effort to put more pressure on the ukrainians, but it's also good for russian domestic morale. when i look at the video of yesterday's alleged drone strike on the kremlin, look at the past record of kremlin activities, putin's activities, you see this as mostly a domestic thing. if you can get some international traction by blaming the united states, sure, that serves their purpose and distracts them. i think the russians are concerned about the potential of the ukrainian counteroffensive when it comes. this is what they can do right now. they've been checkmated so to speak trying to break through in
6:07 am
places. >> this is the drone explosion, when it happens. you can see the viewing stands here for what is going to be the may 9th victory parade. you can see it right there. this is where the russian military will be marching in just a few days as a display of their military prowess. it makes it all the more interesting, general, that it's russia that is the one talking more about these drone attacks than almost anyone else in the world right now. why? what do they get out of publicizing this? >> out of publicizing it, they get sympathy from their population. they get the ability to put more pressure on for their next wave of mobilization. they may get an excuse for not having the mayday parade. this could be a good way of stopping the parade, saying it
6:08 am
is too risky. they get a lot of things domestically for it and it whips up the right wing of the russian military bloggists and some of the others in duma who want more vicious attacks on civilians in ukraine. it lets putin put himself in the middle of the spectrum of russian opinion. it provides him domestic support. it has to be seen that way. there's no military rational for two drones hitting a dome on the kremlin. >> i'm showing right now video of an oil refinery fire. this is inside russia. this continues to be one of the types of sites that russia claims that ukraine is targeting. i have them up on the map here. that is down here over the russian border. there have been attacks in cri crimea. what is the ukrainian strategy if they are behind these
6:09 am
attacks? what is ukraine trying to do? >> set aside the alleged attack on moscow. the rest of these attacks are all about hitting the logistics backing for the russian operation. israel lines, it's staging areas, it's fuel supply points, refinery storage. all of the things that could contribute to russia's military prowess when the ukrainian counteroffensive kicks off. you want to take away their flexibility. the russians would be unable to maneuver, unable to reinforce and unable to refuel. that would be the aim. then ukrainian forces would have an easier time relatively. >> general wesley clark, thank you for helping us this morning. >> within the last hour we received new data on the strength of the jobs market. 242,000 americans filed jobless claims last week. that's slightly more than analysts expected and a hint that the labor market just might
6:10 am
be softening. these numbers coming one day ahead of the release of the key april unemployment report. this morning, we're keeping an eye on l.a. the l.a.-based bank pac west, yet another bank that could be in danger. shares fell more than 50% in after-hours trading on reports that it was exploring strategic options. this coming days after the collapse of first republic bank, which was the second largest bank failure in united states history. here to join me now to break this down is christine romans. let's start with the jobs numbers. >> sure. >> what does that indicate is happening? >> it's essentially a proxy for layoffs. it shows you that layoffs are starting to pick up a little bit. this is after a year of fed rate hikes where they've been trying to cool down the labor market. 242,000 is that number. for context, before covid, on average it was like 311,000. rising, but still not the kind of layoffs we were seeing or the
6:11 am
job market we were seeing before covid. still a tight job market but cooling off. >> it's always depressing to hear the word layoffs. let me ask you about what exactly this whole debacle with pac west we've seen now, the third bank, small regional bank, but the third one that could be in trouble. >> so, you know, we heard from the fed chief yesterday that the resolution of first republic meant the worst of the banking crisis was behind us. we heard the same thing from jamie dimon. this morning the company confirming its exploring that st strategic option. so it's looking for a buyer, a capital raise and not getting bites so far. pac west saying the bank has not experienced out of the ordinary deposit flows. that means nothing has changed here for the bank. nothing is different here. there's no news. there's no reason why the stock is down. the stock is down because
6:12 am
investors are hunting around for the weak gazelle in the herd and they're looking at some of these banks and they're selling those shares. this one in particular, you can see pac west shares, this is even before the overnight slide. we'll see if that holds into the opening bell. this has been a tough go for pacwest and other regional banks here because of a loss of confidence in the banking sector. you have the big wigs like jamie dimon and the fed chief trying to restore that confidence, investors are saying otherwise. >> when they see evidence of a problem, doesn't matter what you say. >> yeah. >> christine romans, thank you very much. today, this man, deion patterson, he will make a first court appearance in atlanta. he's the suspected gunman accused of opening fire at a medical center yesterday. one person was killed. four others were injured. after the shooting, patterson evaded police leading to a nearly eight-hour manhunt.
6:13 am
it started yesterday about 12:08 p.m. at the north side medical hospital medical building in midtown atlanta. he allegedly opened fire in a waiting room. at 12:30, he was spotted near the battery, near where the -- near where the braves play. that's about ten miles north of the city. after that hours-long manhunt he was spotted again by an undercover officer at a condo complex and he was finally arrested around 7:45 last night. nick valencia is following all of this in atlanta. let's start with the now. now what's expected as he's set to appear in court? >> deion patterson is being held in the fulton county jail behind me. i spoke to the jail this morning. they tell me he's expected to make his first court appearance at 11:30. but they say he maintains the right to waive that first appearance. so we expect him to show up here at 11:30 this morning. we're hearing from the suspect's
6:14 am
mother this morning. she sent a statement to wanf. in that statement she starts by apologizing to all those affected by yesterday's tratrag. she went on to focus on the mental health of her son. i want to read part of that statement which says this mental health is real. when we say it's real, from the medical standpoint, it is real. when someone is saying they need help or you see that they are acting out of sorts, they need help. help them, just don't disregard them. they need help and i'm trying to be the advocate for my son, he was turned away. police have not released a motive on why patterson opened fire on that medical facility. the mother told wsb that he grew agitated after he was denied access to a prescription for anxiety called ativan. he went on to open fire injuring four people, killing one person. i mentioned the terrifying day in the city. so many people affected by this including our family, kate.
6:15 am
you know, the person that was killed, amy st. pierre, she was a friend of our close friends, she was in the same mother's group as my wife. she was a mother herself, two small kids. i spoke to her friends this morning who tell me she was just a magnetic person, energetic and everyone here that knew her is mourning her loss and thinking the best for those victims still in critical condition. one, we understand, is in stable condition. >> nick, i had no idea. i'm so sorry. we're looking at her picture right here. just 38 years old. i'm so sorry to hear about that. how does -- how is your wife doing? >> yeah. you know, there's a lot of connections and similarities. my wife, i think, i spoke to her this morning, she was saying you could swap out her for amy. amy showed up for a doctor's appointment. you have small kids, you know how many doctor's appointments you go to.
6:16 am
she had a connection to emory, cdc, my wife is an epidemiologist, she works around here. this tragedy deeply affected everyone here and our household as well. >> i'm so sorry, nick. thank you for sharing that. you could swap amy out, it could be any one of us, and that's why it's so terrifying. thank you so much. coming up on "cnn news central" a person of interest is identified in connection with a series of stabbings near the uc davis campus. what police are saying about this latest development. plus, new details on this, former vice president mike pence testifies before the grand jury investigating the january 6th attack on the capitol. it was a marathon session. and for the first time, the world has a vaccine to protect against a common respiratory illness. who will be eligible for it and when will doctors have it in stock? that's all coming up.

on the radar this morning, a mississippi man is in jail charged with threatening to kill u.s. senator roger wicker. william sappington went to the home of wicker's cousin last week looking for the senator. he allegedly told the cousin you tell him i'm going to kill him. sappington denies he said that. the fbi says in their conversations with him he seemed to think senator wicker was his last resort to get justice for what he saw as a wrongful arrest in 2014. cnn reached out to his attorneys for comment. police in davis, california say they're questioning a person of interest in connection with three stabbings that happened in the last week. two of the three people who were stabbed died. the third person is in critical condition. a police spokesperson said the person of interest was not detained and is cooperating voluntarily. the university of california at davis has been closing all

6:23 am
today. paula is following this. what can you tell us? what have you learned about why jack smith the special counsel is interested in this security footage? >> this footage is critical to understanding what happened to these classified materials once they were sent down to mar-a-lago. we've previously reported that on some of this footage you can see walt nada, a junior trump aide and another employee moving some boxes that contained classified material out of storage. they also questioned him about what transpired there, who asked him to move those boxes. they are not just investigating the handling of classified materials, they're looking into whether anyone tried to obstruct this investigation. that's why it's critical to make sure they have all of this security footage. we know this interest has spurred another round of new subpoenas and they already questioned some other trump
6:24 am
organization employees about this particular issue. this is a significant development. if there was any issue with this security footage, that would definitely be an advancement in this investigation. >> so, what are you hearing about those two men i was talking about, the calamaris? how do they relate to this? >> when we learned this yesterday through our reporting i was struck because matthew calamari senior is the chief operating officer of the trump organization. he's been with the organization for decades. during that time, he's mostly overseen security. this is one of former president trump's closest and most trusted advisers. as you noted, his son also works there. he is the director of security. the fact that both of these men will be testifying before the grand jury is significant. among the things that calamari senior is going to be asked about is a text message received from walt nada and conversations that happened offline after that
6:25 am
text message. these are significant developments in this investigation. the fact that jack smith and his investigators have gotten this deep into trump's inner circle is really remarkable. people ask me all the time, is that investigation going to wrap up soon? this new reporting shows clearly the answer is no. >> paula, thank you very much. joining me right now is former federal prosecutor and cnn legal analyst, elliott williams. what do you think about the investigation is looking into this trump surveillance footage. what does that say to you? >> i think they're looking into obstruction of justice. there's the actual mishandling or possession of documents in violation of law but also obstruction of justice after the fact. i think what they'll be trying to get at today is, number one, any conversations leading up to and moving or mishandling of
6:26 am
surveillance footage. all of that could go to the question as to whether someone tried to falsify or conceal a record as a means to get in the way of an investigation. >> to go down this road is this just due diligence or is there an inkling or tip that something was messed with? >> certainly it's due diligence, but you don't use a grand jury for a fishing expedition to find new crimes. more often what they're doing is following up on leads or information they had. it seems that they had some evidence or indication maybe not something to bring a whole case around that some file or some footage or some box was moved as a means specifically knowingly, which is the language in the law, to knowingly get in the way or impede the investigation. >> cnn is reporting that jack smith, the special counsel, he was sitting in on the testimony -- mike pence's
6:27 am
testimony to the grand jury. does that just further indicate to you how critical and important the mike -- what mike pence says, what he can present and answer to? it is to the case that they would be building or does it say something else? >> absolutely it's important. it's not uncommon for the boss, the u.s. attorney or division head to sit in on a really high-profile or important witness interview. one, to supervise his folks. two, to help tie the information together. he's overseeing probably lots of people. this is clearly a critical witness given his proximity to the person being investigated. it also might be a sign to the witness of how seriously the office takes the interview. it's not abnormal, but it's a big deal when the boss, the big boss sits in an on interview like that. >> great to see you, elliot. thank you. >> thanks. this morning, the controversy surrounding supreme court justice clarence thomas' relationship with a gop mega donor is getting bigger.
6:28 am
it's now reported that the texas billionaire paid for justice thomas' grand nephew to attend two private boarding schools. the exact amount is unclear, but that tab could have been more than $150,000. cnn senior supreme court analyst joins us now. what else is propublica saying? >> the latest reporting, quite extensive as it is, adds to the picture we're seeing of how much harland crowe finally benefited clarence thomas and his family. you mentioned the earlier reporting of the lavish trips he financed for the private jet, super yacht to these wonderful places across the globe. this new reporting involves a
6:29 am
young man who is now in his 30s who when he was a child, this grand nephew of clarence thomas, lived with him and his wife, they had him in their home and they sent him to school locally and then to these boarding schools. what propublica reported is that clarence thomas got at least, as they documented, $6,200 they found on a bank statement that had been paid for this young man's education. as you said, that they thought that total amount could end up exceeding $150,000. crow said he's been passionate about education, that he wanted to help an unfortunate. clarence thomas himself has not responded to questions from cnn.

6:36 am
the suspected gunman in a mass shooting at an atlanta medical center is expected in court today for his first court appearance. 24-year-old deion patterson was arrested last night after a nearly eight-hour manhunt. he's been charged with murder and aggravated assault for killing a cdc employee and injuring four others in the shooting. we're tracking this, russia is accusing the united states of being behind the alleged drone attack on the kremlin. a kremlin spokesperson claimed without evidence that the ukrainian government is implementing decisions made in washington as it relates to this alleged drone attack. in just the last hour, john kirby from the house called that a ludicrous claim and a lie. this morning, prosecutors in new york city are investigating the death of a subway rider after another passenger put him in a chokehold. the incident was caught on video. by the time police arrived, 30-year-old jordan neely was already unconscious. his death has been ruled a
6:37 am
homicide. no charges or arrests have yet been announced. omar jimenez is at the subway station where the victim was taken off the train. walk us through what happened. >> so, what has happened on this northbound f train here in the heart of new york city and this happened earlier this week where witnesses say this man, jordan neely, walked on to the subway car acting erratically, as it was described in talking about how he was tired about not having enough food and that he was fed up, hungry, tired of having nothing. then he took off his coat, threw it on the ground, according to this witness, and some passengers seemed to get uncomfortable. that's when another man, another passenger, came up from behind and started putting this man, jordan neely, into a chokehold. that's where some of that video picks up that's been circulating in the middle of that chokehold.
6:38 am
s i should mention, we don't know exactly what happened leading up to it, we have not been able to confirm that or how long this man was in the chokehold itself. bottom line, this was something that he did not end up waking up from as the medical examiner said that he died later that afternoon due to compression of the neck and, of course, that is where the investigation is for now as the district attorney's office says they are looking into this situation. >> omar, again, i'm asking this as subways are coming and going, it may be hard to hear me. how are city officials responding to this? >> obviously, they had a pretty visceral reaction off the bat. i'll start with a local councilwoman here who said -- adrian adams said let's be clear any possible mental health challenges were no reason for his life to be taken, which is part of the anger that many people here feel that no matter what happened leading up to this, it was not enough to end
6:39 am
up with someone losing their life. mayor eric adams in new york also commented on this. listen to some of what he said. >> this is what highlights what i've been saying throughout my administration. people dealing with mental health illness should get the help they need and not live on a train. i will continue to push on that. >> and obviously now the investigation continues, as we've seen no charges filed just yet, but obviously it's something that is being looked into. others seem to -- there have been, i should say, some protests here and there again over that dynamic that we just talked about. of course, the details of what exactly led up to this are still being confirmed, are still bit by bit coming out, but many people feel no matter what happened he shouldn't have lost his life. of course, that's the heart of what this investigation moving forward will be. >> indeed, omar jimenez very

much on the scene. thank you very much for your reporting. a 60-year scientific quest has given us the world's first rsv shot. it could be available for those 60 and over starting this fall. meg tirrell joins us now. this is a long time coming. how well do we know that this actually works? >> it looks like it works extremely well. rsv is a horrible disease. we probably remember it from the fall when we were have the tripledemic of rsv, flu and covid. this affects older adults and kids severely. it's a super contagious respiratory virus. it hospitalizes up to 160,000 older people every year in the united states alone and leads to 10,000 deaths. the hope is that this could help potentially make this a vaccine-preventable disease.
6:41 am
in terms of the efficacy that we've seen in terms of getting rsv disease itself, coughing and wheezing, 83% in the clinical trials, more than 90% effective in preventing severe disease. that's was you want a vaccine to do. >> this is important. i know they have said this is for people 60 years and older. will there be soon a vaccine for children? >> you and all parents of small children are asking this question. companies are working on this. we always see it's slower going to get vaccines for kids because you need to be so careful with the safety and regulators always do that. companies are working on it. pfizer has a vaccine for pregnant women or pregnant people so that they could protect babies in the first six months of their lives. that's going up to the fda as well. >> i remember seeing a whole lot of children in the hospital with rsv recently. this is a good development. thank you. >> thank you. ahead, another major

6:43 am
a quick change in my plans is no big deal. don't receive cabenuva if you're allergic to its ingredients or taking certain medicines, which may interact with cabenuva. serious side effects include allergic reactions post-injection reactions, liver problems, and depression. if you have a rash and other allergic reaction symptoms, stop cabenuva and get medical help right away. tell your doctor if you have liver problems or mental health concerns, and if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or considering pregnancy. some of the most common side effects include injection-site reactions, fever, and tiredness. if you switch to cabenuva, attend all treatment appointments. every other month, and i'm good to go. ask your doctor about every-other-month cabenuva. ♪ here's to the very first influencer in your life... mom! this is how mom shines. find the perfect mother's day gift... ...at zales. the diamond store.

6:47 am
happening, you always wonder why? this is happening in san francisco but other urban centers as well. >> in san francisco, nordstrom now the 20th -- the 20th retailer to announce they're leaving the city. nordstrom saying they will close down their two downtown locations. on market street and then in the westfield mall. they're citing changing dynamics in the city. yes, it's absolutely about crime. in the beginning of this year, homicides are up 20% compared to last year. you mentioned the theft up 23% over the course of the pandemic. there are other factors. rising rent is a big factor. you also have people working from home. there's not as much foot traffic in the area. and you also have just consumer buying habits changing. a lot of us are buying things online and not in person. but nordstrom is not alone in this. you have wholefoods, office depot, anthropology all leaving town. nordstrom said they will try to find jobs for all the employees working in those two downtown
6:48 am
locations because those two downtown locations make up 300,000 square feet. that's a lot of employees. nordstrom looking to put them in other positions elsewhere. >> how much of this is unique to san francisco, the silicon valley environment and sort of the tech hub? >> yeah, certainly. this is changing the economic landscape of san francisco. you have these retailers leaving town. you have major tech companies leaving town. and then you have home buyers leaving town. san francisco is the number one city where home buyers are now leaving town to look for homes in other areas. so, all of this together is certainly changing the economic landscape of san francisco. you mentioned it's happening in other cities as well. but really in san francisco we're having this kind of trifecta of an economic reality that is now playing out. >> vanessa yurkevich, thank you very much. top tech executives are due at the white house next hour. on the agenda, the exploding artificial intelligence industry and how to deal with serious risk this technology can bring. plus, the race to hire air

this morning, the white house is laying out a new plan to try to address the challenges and risks associated with artificial intelligence. the new measures will help shape how federal agencies use ai going forward, and later this morning vice president kamala harris she's going to be meeting with the heads of some of the top tech companies on this very topic. the ceos of open ai, anthropic, microsoft, and google's parent company, they're all going to be taking part. they're among the big names going to be sitting down with the vp on this. brian, the white house describes this meeting, they're billing it as a frank discussion on artificial intelligence and its risks. what are you hearing about this approach from the biden administration when it comes to ai? >> yeah, kate, this new plan from the biden administration really has a cup of main planks here. one there's an announcement of
6:54 am
$140 million in new spending on research and development targeted towards ai that will go towards things like applying ai to climate research, agriculture, and medicine. and another major plan here as you said is developing policies for federal government agencies and use for ai and how they procure ai. and this could have really big impacts on americans how they interact with ai at check points when they enter or leave the country, so that could have a really big effect on how many average people experience ai and what the market for ai looks like. now, obviously in this plan you're seeing the white house try to walk a tightrope here where it simultaneously recognizes there are benefits to using ai for some of these scientific breakthroughs but also some major risks including the possible algorithmic bias that can come from the use of
6:55 am
ai, obviously job losses, as well as the possibility of hacking or scams that might arise as a result of ai tools. and so vice president harris is going to be pressing this point with the ceos of anthropic, google, microsoft, and open ai later today telling them, hey, you guys really need to step it up and take responsibility for how your tools are used and deployed so that they don't cause unintended harms. and this is sort of the main point the white house is trying to drive today, although the white house isn't yet ready to release specific calls for exact policy proposals or anything like that so that appears to be a ways off. >> i would say very much a ways off considering people are still trying to wrap their heads around trying to regulate something that could be in a completely different place in just a few years. it's going to be very interesting, john berman, how the white house decides to handle ai. >> we could have virtual administration officials before long the way we're going.
6:56 am
>> a virtual cabinet. all right, 8 million jobs, that is how many the white house predicts could be wiped out if the nation defaults on its debt. and the white house is calling moscow's accusations ridiculous after the kremlin suggested the u.s. directed ukraine to carry out that alleged drone attack. i can be free to do the things that i love to do. i hope when n i retire someday, they say, that guy made ththis place a special place to come to school anand gave as much as he could o help the community. ♪ you said close your eyes ♪ ♪ don't look down ♪ ♪ fall into me... celebrate evy kiss. with 30% off almost everything.
