in a major victory for the justice department, a jury just found four members of the proud boys guilty of seditious conspiracy, including the group's leader, enrique tarrio. we're going to be live outside the courthouse. ludicrous, that's what the u.s. is calling russian accusation it was involved in a drone attack on the kremlin. meantime, retaliation strikes inte intensify. we're live from the battlefield next. the suspect in the atlanta mass shooting waived his right to his first court appearance today. his mother is now speaking out. what we are learning about him and one of the victims, all of these developing stories and many more all coming in right here to "cnn news central." an historic verdict today on some of the most serious charges

related to the january 6th insurrection. four members of the far-right group known as the proud boys were found guilty of seditious conspiracy. enrique tarrio, zachary rehl, joseph biggs, and ethan nordean were on trial for their role in trying to prevent a peaceful transfer of power after the 2020 election. the guilty verdicts marked the third time that prosecutors have secured convictions for seditious conspiracy following the insurrection. cnn has more live from outside the courthouse. from the beginning, legal experts and lawyers have said this is not an easy charge to get a conviction on, and yet here they have again. explain exactly what the jury decided here. >> reporter: it's not an easy charge, and it's not one that the justice department uses often or uses lightly, but they have levied this charge against the right-wing group taking part on january 6th and the jury

agreeing the justice department has enough evidence to prove the case that these menners leaders of the proud boys, came to an agreement and wanted to somehow block, hurt, hinder, or even overthrow the u.s. government using force. so those are the two key things that were proved today, that the jury agreed with, and that resulted in finding these four men, these four leaders of the proud boys, including enrique tarrio who was not in washington, d.c., on january 6th, guilty of seditious conspiracy, jim. it's both that force, the use of force is a key part of that charge that they are found guilty on, and the fact that there is some sort of agreement, some sort of planning and some sort of communication to take steps forward not just on the ground on january 6th, but before, during, and then as the prosecutors pointed out that there was celebration after in one text message that was used in this case as evidence, enrique tarrio sent a message to

other proud boys on january 6th writing, "make no mistake, we did this." and the jury has agreed with the prosecutors and the justice department so far. >> goodness, those words. make no mistake, we did this. the conviction of tarrio is seen as especially significant in part because he was not there on the day. so how did prosecutors manage that? >> reporter: right. that's very unusual. and so what they did to do that is that they were showing tarrio in conversation, in secret chats publicly discussing this. one of the other things that he wrote, it was publicly on line after the election in november of 2020, he wrote, "if biden steals this election, the proud boys will be political prisoners. we won't go quietly. i promise." that's how they were building the case around tarrio. they were able to show that there were proud boys on the ground on january 6th leading the rioters into the capitol, finding a way in, breaking a window, and tarrio was part of

that group that was interested in this leading up to the day. jim? >> katelyn polantz, thank you so much. and first let's get to the case against them. as we were saying with katelyn, going into there, folks, yourself included, said hard one to prove. >> yes. >> let's look at some of the things that these folks said via their text messages. here's one of them. we just stormed the effing capitol, took the mother effing place back, that was so much fun. celebrating. another one -- dude, we're in front of the american capitol. american citizens are storming the coloapitol, taking it back. taking it back, that kind of language there. how did they pull this off? >> how did they pull this off? seditious conspiracy is a charge you don't see that often. frankly in american history the last time it got charged was 2010 because there's surprisingly a fine line between protected speech and disrupting government by force or impeding the actions of government.

now those two text messages were very, very important ones, jim, because what you're seeing is celebration at the fact that they impeded and obstructed or delayed the functionings of government. so it's hard it doesn't happen that often. but this might be the case that holds up. >> sticking in my mind as i heard that, it's not unlike the way terror suspects are charged in that they will look to see if they celebrate after the fact that establish their connection and their intent and so on. i do want to ask because this is an obvious question, because the justice department is currently looking into the president's role in all this. >> right. >> he done storm the capitol himself. he did not break a window in the capitol, that kind of thing. he did go to the mall and encourage folks, it seemed, one could interpret his comments, to disrupt the process. >> sure. >> and that was something else that these defendants were found guilty of, trying to disrupt, prevent a functioning of government here. when you look at this case, any indicators as to how the justice department might proceed with the case against trump? >> what you just read to me were text messages that established

the conspiracy and the challenge whenever you're establishing a conspiracy is you have to have an agreement between two parties and finding an agreement between the former president and the people who were there on that day was just going to be exceptionally difficult. now look, this was a historic moment, and certainly a tragic moment on any number of levels, right. but the question is, can you link the defendant to the misconduct in the way -- and that -- for seditious conspiracy, there's other terms, there's other crimes you might be able to charge the president with. seditious conspiracy -- >> how about for incit. ? how about -- a terror act, you may not have made the bomb but if you said hey it would be nice if you did something along those lines, you might see a case developing there. >> for incitement you have to get past the free speech for people. he would have to know that violence would necessarily be what would follow from his actions. again, the things we're talking about, conspiracy to object distract congress, mail fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to defraud the united states, are all incredibly serious crimes. i just think reaching the bar

for incitement could be challenging. >> we'll see. you're talking to a lot of folks speaking to him on that day. elliott williams, thank you so much. jessica? russia is seeking revenge and a scapegoat after an alleged drone attack on the kremlin left smoldering damage on the senate palace dome. today moscow baselessly accused washington of being behind it saying ukraine is a puppet of the u.s. in this war. the white house dismissing this accusation as a bold-faced lie and expanding on their thinking just a few minutes ago. listen. >> not investigating, and i want to be clear, we're still looking at this, we haven't come to any conclusions one way or the other. we're going to try to learn more. but let's not label it a report or an investigation or anything like that. we're doing the best we can to try to find out what happened. let's not lose the bigger picture here. it's not like mr. putin has to invent new reasons to kill innocent ukrainians. he keeps doing it over and over and over again. now whether he's going to use

this as some sort of pretext is up to him. but just in the last 24 hours, you know, he's bombing shoppers at a supermarket. so the violence just continues one way or the other. >> and that violence includes the heaviest assault on kyiv in months. and in ordesa attack drones emblazoned with the message moscow. first moscow blamed ukraine, now they're blaming the u.s. it's like we're seeing escalating rhetoric and also seeing escalating attacks. >> reporter: it is. serves putin's purpose and perhaps no one else's because it gives him -- furthers his rationale that russia is not only up against ukraine, it's up against niato, up against the united states. you know, the embarrassment for president putin that two drones could get themselves over the kremlin, how else does he explain that? well, first of all, they blame

it on the ukrainians. but then how can putin look the russians in the eye and say on the one hand we're winning the fight in ukraine and on the other hand ukraine can get drones over the kremlin. this is the essence of what putin is saying. now they've taken it up and said, well, of course, you know, this was directed by washington. there is the way that putin explains that -- essentially russia is not doing as well as he says. but the retaliation has been there. indeed in the past less than an hour, there have been drone strikes over kyiv, a city official in kyiv has said that one drone was shot down over the city. debris has fallen on the city. it's not clear how much damage or actually at this moment how many uabs may have been shot down over kyiv. a developing situation as the city deals with incoming drones. overnight last night, again kyiv targeted by moscow. odesa in the south, 15 drones fired at it.

12 shot down. on the tailfins of some of those drones, that message from moscow, from the kremlin. so is that russia's entire response? is that it done last night and today? it really isn't clear. the city that has taken a lot of hammering over the past 24 hours is kherson in the south and east. 539 different artillery impacts until early this morning, 23 people killed, 46 injured, two of them children. and this is the worst that kherson has had it. now the russians may be looking at kherson and thinking this is where ukraine's going to launch its counteroffensive from. it's not clear why they doubled down on that city. but that's what's happening. russia makes up a narrative -- retaliate -- and civilians are the ones who are injured. >> yeah. no doubt about it. nic robertson for us in eastern ukraine. thank you so much for that reporting. we are joined now by a member of the house intelligence committee, democratic congresswoman chrissy houlihan,

of pennsylvania. congresswoman, thank you so much for spending time with us today. russia, of course, is calling this a planned terrorist attack. but they have no evidence to support this. you have the white house saying that peskov is lying. you're on the intel committee. have you seen anything to indicate who may be behind this? >> i would not be able to share that information even if i had it, but i have not received any information as you mentioned through all the briefings that we've received and also that the spokesperson for the white house has explained. we have no indication that this came from anywhere. we have no idea who is responsible for this other than the fact that we have vociferously denied it as well as zelenskyy vociferously denying it. >> is it possible that a russian anti-government group may be responsible, and if so, would you have expected that they would take responsibility for this? >> sure. i mean, the list is really long of the people who have the capability to pull something like this off.

it really doesn't take a whole lot of technology or talent to be able to do these sorts of things. and so i'm not really sure that we could speculate whether or not it's somebody within russia or the russians themselves, frankly, who might be looking for this as a red flag to be able to allow for the provocation and the further destruction of places like kyiv. my father actually was born there about 80 years or so ago, and this is a part of the world that's always being rained on by missiles of one form or another. and this is no exception. putin has been relentless with his attacks on the civilians, and these are absolutely war crimes. >> he has been relentless. we're seeing this onslaught that russia is perpetrator -- perpetrating. we're reporting that an unmanned aerial vehicle is shot down over kyiv, something ukrainian defense forces said happened not to long ago. how are you viewing that onslaught that russia has unleashed in the wake of this drone attack? >> well, so i would imagine that

putin is looking for opportunities to respond or retaliate, the narrative that he's created in his own head and trying to con v chips the rest of the world of -- condition vince the rest of the world of. this is one way, and again defenseless people on the ground in kyiv who are not part of this particular battle and who are being murdered in their civilian lives is not the response that any person would expect from anybody, and certainly putin is demonstrating the fact that he is a reprehensible and no leader certainly. >> we see in the pictures, they're being killed while grease shopping. these are -- grocery shopping. these are civilians. on the domestic side, sect defense secretaries from both democratic and republican administrations are now urging republican senators tubberville and lee to stop blocking military promotions over a dod policy that allows servicewomen time off and also travel reimbursements for them as well as military spouses and dependents who have to go out of

state to receive abortion care. many bases are in states that do not allow for abortion care. you're an air force veteran. what's your message to them, to senators about how this affects women in the military? >> so i'm not only a veteran and obviously a woman and a mother, but i also serve on the armed services committee, and within the armed services committee the military personnel subcommittee. it's in my direct line of responsibility to think about these issues. and i have joined those senators and -- i'm sorry, folks who supported making sure that women have access to travel and have access to the ability to take the time off that they need to be able to seek health care that they can't find in the places that they are stationed. when you serve in the military, you serve, and you don't choose where you get to go. so it's really important that we support these women and their choices to make sure that they can travel to places where they can avail themselves of the health care that they deserve. >> how does this affect military readiness? how will this affect it if these

blocks continue? >> sure. it's multidimensional. it affects the live and service of the person we're talking about. it affects the willingness of people to be able to continue to serve. we have an all-volunteer was, as you might recall. so when you're thinking about what sort of career you'd like to pursue you may think twice if you feel as though your rights are limited by a place like the military. and we really can't afford to have any person who's interested and willing in serving in uniform feeling as though their rights and freedoms and liberties would be taken away as a consequence of that. i think it's a short-term readiness issue, and it's also a longer term readiness issue. >> yeah. big anniversary of that all-volunteer force that we are seeing here, as well. congresswoman, thank you so much. really appreciate your time and your service. thank you so much. jim? several victims are still in intensive care following yesterday's mass shooting in atlanta. the latest on their injuries and what we know about the suspected shooter.

horrific event. and the fact that they were in a health care facility just makes it worse. >> reporter: yeah, this has been very tough for this community. the one person killed is a cdc employee, amy st. pierre. throughout this afternoon, i've been talking to people who lived in atlanta quite some time, friends who know folks who work inside this building. there's a total state of shock, and they also wanted to make sure that the police department got a lot of praise for what they were able to do yesterday. you talk about that 911 call where the mother was so instrumental in terms of helping to get the information out early on to authorities so they could start that tracking process, through the camera network, it was through the mutual cooperations between the police departments and this area that they were able to bring this to a close in a certain direction. there are still so many questions about how did everybody end up in this place yesterday, where a lot of people were trying to get medical care, and the shots started being fired. there was one woman talking about the idea of trying to have some sort of memorial service

out here because the one thing that so many people are scared of is that people will move on from this so very quickly because of all the gun violence that's in america. jessica? >> because it just keeps happening. all right. ryan young for us in atlanta. thank you so much. jim? now to the battery and defamation trial against donald trump. lawyers for writer e. jean carroll are expected to rest their case today. carroll, you'll remember, alleges that the former president raped her in a department store dressing room in the 1990s. trump denies it, but his lawyers say they will not be calling any witnesses. cnn has more from outside the courthouse in new york. kara, i wonder how do his employers explain this decision not to in effect present a case? >> reporter: jim, i couldn't quite hear your question there, but i can tell you that the jury heard about 30 minutes of trump's deposition this morning. that was the videotaped deposition that trump sat for in october. and at the heart of this case are the defamatory statements

where he allegedly said that carroll was not his type, he never met her before, and that, you know, he did not do -- he didn't rape her in the department store. so trump admitted today, you know, he confirmed he wrote the exact statement, he said it was not anyone else. and the -- he said that these were his words, and he stood by them in that deposition. now he was also shown a black and white photograph of him at a gala, sitting next to his wife ivana trump, with e. jean carroll and her husband. as trump is holding the photograph he pointed to it and said, that's marla, that's my wife. he was told, no that's e. jean carroll. he pointed and said, "that's marla." that's part of what his attorneys will make the point that he was his type 27 years ago when the assault took place. the one time he became more agitated is when he was addressing the allegations of rape, the underlying issue in the battery charge here.

and you know, he became, you know, a little bit more animated. he said she is accusing me of rape, that's the worst thing you can do, the worst charge. this is a woman i have no idea who she is. then they called carol martin, a friend that e. jean carroll said she confided in. martin corroborated the story. we were just returning from a lunch break, she is back on cross-examination. then two more witnesses will be called, an expert and carroll's form boss at "elle "magazine. >> they're talking about who is and is not his top. thank you so much. jim, still to come on "cnn news central," in a major win for climate advocates, the state of new york announces a natural gas ban in new buildings including gas stoves. and shares of pacwest taking a dive after reports that it could be the next regional bank to collapse. just further fueling anxiety over the health of the banking sector. we'll have details ahead. old school hard work meets bold new thinking.

some of the top stories we're following today -- "cnn news central, " a jury has found four members of the far right proud boys including the leader guilty of seditious conspiracy. this stems from their roles in trying to keep donald trump in power after he lost the 2020 presidential election. this marks the third time prosecutors have secured convictions for seditious conspiracy related to january 6th. and the biden administration is calling allegations by russia that the u.s. was somehow involved in a purported drone attack on the kremlin, quote, a

ludicrous claim. this reply comes after moscow baselessly accused the u.s. of directing ukraine to carry out the alleged attack. russia has already used the incident as a reason to unleash further attacks on kyiv and other ukrainian cities. jessica? >> jim, new york has made a bold move to address the climate crisis, becoming the first state in the country to ban gas stoves, natural gas, and other fossil fuels in most new buildings. new york governor kathy hochul and democratic lawmakers passing that tuesday. it bans gas-powered stoves, furnaces, and propane heating and encourages the use of climate-friendly appliances such as heat pumps and induction stoves in most new residential buildings across the state. all-electric heating and cooking will be required by 2026 in new buildings short than seven stories, and 2029 for taller

buildings. cnn chief correspondent bill weir is here to talk more about this impact. and bill, this is big for climate advocates. but millions of people rely on gas to warm their home or to cook with. >> reporter: absolutely. it's a very emotional thing, cooking over fire. it's primal. people love the idea of a furnace burning in the basement to keep them warm or they like the way their food cooks. it's a cultural thing. but there is no doubt, the science is showing us, that those choices are heating up the planet at sort of a scary rate. all put together, buildings account for about 20% of carbon -- planet cooking carbon pollution, as well. this is part of a wave of electrification across the country. new york the first state, but there's about 90 municipalities and counties, the first was berkeley, california, couple years ago. but interestingly enough, a couple weeks ago, the ninth circuit court of appeals struck down their ban on gas hookups to new buildings there. but there's other routes to it. different building codes, energy

codes that could make it easier for others who want to do this. but of course, natural gas industry, the lobby, some restaurant lobbyists are fighting back against this. republicans in new york saying why shouldn't a new yorker have a choice on how they heat their home, as well. so this is part of a -- sort of a simmering energy war, even governor perry down in texas -- governor abbott, rather, perry was the former one, governor abbott has tried to ban gas bans in his state and has threatened to sue other states that try to do there sort of thing. this is the beginning of a big fight. >> do you expect or will there be any exceptions in these cases? >> there are -- of course exceptions for any existing gas appliances now. they want to push people toward heat pumps or induction stoves over time. that's sometimes a bigger investment up front. but the ones that are there can stay as long as they last, i suppose. some car washes, some industries are exempt that have a bigger

means, as well. this is one step closer to a world without fossil fuel pollution. and it's a big one begin the size of new york. >> no doubt about that. bill weir, up this for giving us context there. another regional bank is in turmoil, squeezed in the nation's worst banking criesits since 2008. this is california-based pacwest bank, and it's losing half of its value today after confirming it's exploring all options including a possible sale. this comes days after first republic became the second largest bank failure in u.s. history. i want to bring in matt egan to talk more about this. matt, tell us how significant this pacwest news is. >> reporter: well, it is very significant. any time you see a major bank losing almost half of its value in one day, it is alarming. pacwest saying it's going to explore all options. it's basically wall street lingo for they're looking for some help right now.

importantly, pacwest says that they're not experiencing any, quote, out-of-the ordinary depends flows since first republic failed but this is not just about pacwest. a number of regional banks are sharply lower today. not as much as pacwest, but still deeply in the red. markets are very concerned about how this industry is going to make money in what a very difficult environment. as you can see, the dow is down about 310 points as we speak, around 1%. this comes after a number of days of losses. now u.s. officials, they stress the banking system is sound, that was what jerome powell, the fed chair, said just yesterday. but we should note there is a difference between what's happening with stock prices and deposits. officials say deposits, they have calmed down. we're not seeing bank runs which is great. investors, no, they are still hammering these stocks. i think the message from wall street is this bank crisis is not over, and it might even be

spreading. >> all right, matt eagan, thank you so much, with the latest on that. we appreciate it. jim? all right. when we come back, the new york and california attorneys general will be launching an investigation into the nfl over workplace harassment. we'll have details on that and how the league is responding next. >> woman: why did we choose safelite? >> vo: for us, driving around is the only way we can get our baby to sleep, so when our wishield cracked, we needed it fixed right. we went to safelite.com. there's no one else we'd trust. their experts replaced our windshield, and recalibrated our car's advanced safety system. they focus on our safety... so we can focus on this little guy. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

the suspects face more than a dozen charges in total. also, a mississippi manhunt finally over. the last of four men who escaped from a county jail last month now behind bars. the hines county sheriff's office saying officials captured cory harrison earlier this morning at a home in the town of crystal springs, mississippi. two other inmates, escaped inmates, were found dead at separate locations last week, and a third escapee was arrested in spring valley. and a big celebration at a pub in central london today as the prince and princess of wales greeted locals and spoke with business owners ahead of the king's crowning this weekend. it will be the uk's first coronation in 70 years. the window to apply for an air traffic controller job opens tomorrow. seems like perfect timing given the faa is warning of potential summer gridlock, staffing shortages, and lengthy training are also putting extra strain on control towers finding enough

candidates is a challenge. in 2022 there were nearly 58,000 applicants, only 1,500 were hired. cnn's pete monteen has the details. >> reporter: warnings of not enough workers for your next trip stretch from cockpits to control towers with the faa's own air traffic controllers now in short supply. the agency says nationwide two in every ten controller jobs are empty. the problem is so severe at a key facility in morning that the faa is warning summer delays at the area's three main airports could rise by 45%. >> it's a chilling message that we're not able to fly, you know, the routes at that level because we don't have enough air traffic controllers. >> reporter: now the federal government is scrambling to play catchup, opening a rare hiring window friday. last year it was flooded with 58,000 applications.

that's 38 candidates for every one opening. >> it's the backbone for aviation. >> reporter: cameron smith is one of the air traffic control students here at emery riddle aeronautical university in florida hitting submit on his application. faa hiring slowed down during the pandemic. professor and former faa official michael mccormack says compounding the problem -- the agents shuttered its training academy. >> over time this builds, and that's why we have such a gap now in the training of controllers, and they need to hire so many more. >> reporter: to see if i have what it takes, i stepped into this control tower simulator to give it a try. >> 3455 -- >> reporter: students practiced lining up flights for takeoff and landing, issuing fast, specific instructions with no margin for error. >> it's so much to keep track of. >> yeah. >> tough. >> it's probably every single time i hear someone say it's such a stressful job and i'm like, i can do it.

>> reporter: clearly the students here are more accustomed to the intensity of this job than i am. it can take three years for the faa to fully train recruits. acting administrator billy nolan suggests hiring is on schedule, but it might not be fast enough to kind flights on schedule this summer. >> we're hiring over the next two years 3,300 additional controllers, that will give us a net plus-up of 500 accounting for retirements and attrition. >> reporter: becoming an air traffic controller is ultra competitive. those who are selected by the faa not only have to pass an aptitude test but also medical and psychological exams. those who miss their shot this year have an even better shot next year when the faa plans to hire another 1,800 new air traffic controllers. jim? >> pete, thank you so much. jim, a delta flight out of houston was delayed for several hours yesterday, and the reason

-- those things, those are bees. can you believe that? a giant swarm of bees congregating on the wing of this plane. and according to one of the passengers, the flight crew, they tried contacting a beekeeper, but they were not allowed to touch the plane. pest control wasn't allowed to help either. and so after some three hours of drama, be leave it or not, the bees took off soon the engine started, and finally everyone was able to board. i think you can file that under things that pilot wishes that he had tried three hours before. >> right. maybe just fire up that engine there at the beginning, right? all right. a jury reaches a verdict in the copyright case against ed sheeran. we're going to be live from outside the courthouse with all the details. sensodyne sensitivity gum & enamel relieves sensitivity, helps restore gum health, and rehardens enenamel. i'm a big advocacate of recommending t things that i know work. when you really need to sleep. you reach for the really good stuff.

. the attorneys general from both new york and california are launching a joint investigation into the nfl's workplace practices and culture. a.g.'s la tetitia james said th probe will focus on allegations of employment discrimination along with what they're calling a hostile work environment. polo sandoval who has been tracking this, do we know what's behind these allegations? >> this may not surprise many, that's because a coalition of attorneys general actually warned that this was coming a year ago if the national football league did not take steps to correct what's being alleged to be workplace discrimination and harassment against female employees. so that bring us to today. you have attorneys general in new york and in california officially launching an investigation, they said, in fact, they've already subpoenaed the league for information and documents about possible violations of federal and state

employment discrimination laws. the states are examining the workplace culture at the nfl after more than 30 women, according to "the new york times," came forward alleging gender discrimination and retaliation after filing complaints with the league's human resources. last april new york attorney general letitia james cosigned a letter to the nfl commissioner roger goodell citing "the new york times" reporting in which female employees spoke openly about experiencing sexual harassment and even being passed over for promotions based on gender. at the time an nfl spokesperson told cnn that the league had made, quote, great strides to improve their workplace environment, but acknowledged that more had to be done. if you hear from the attorney general in texas -- rather in california and in new york, they say it didn't happen enough. in this statement they write despite reports and allegations of abuse perpetrated by both players and male staff, reports that the nfl has not taken

sufficient, effective steps to prevent discrimination, harassment, and retaliation from occurring in the workplace persists, and that is why this official announcement's rolled out today, this investigation begins, by the way, about 37% of the league's roughly 1,100 employees are women. >> what's the nfl's response? >> well, they updated their response a while ago saying in a fairly lengthy one, saying that they are calling the allegations, quote, inconsistent with their values and practices. they went on to say that the league has laid out in writing the policies that they've instituted to keep a healthy work environment for employees and the league, jim, they insist that their practices, their pay practices, that they exceed any requirement of the law. so it's going to be interesting to see where this investigation takes the top cops in both california and here in new york. >> polo sandoval, thanks so much. jessica. a verdict was reached this afternoon in the copyright trial of ed sheeran, a jury finding

retire from my day job after all. but at the same time, i'm unbelievably frustrated that baseless claims like this are allowed to go to court. we spent the last eight years talking about two songs with dramatically different lyrics, melody and four chords which are also different and used by artists every day all over the world. these chords are common building blocks that were used to create music long before let's get it on was written and will be used to write music long after we are all gone. >> reporter: so ed sheeran and his legal team have always maintained that this was a about a very common four chord progression that predated let's get it on that was written by marvin gaye and ed townsend in 1973 and that if the townsend family had won today it would be a vastly harder environment for musicians to be able to have creative freedom because that four chord progression would have been copyrighted and that essentially what his legal team was saying was that they would essentially musicians in the

future would have to ask for permission to use that and therefore stifle creativity. i will say, katherine townsend she came out maybe about a half hour after ed sheeran left and she simply looked at reporters and she said god is good. she had previously said this wasn't about money. this was about her father's legacy, and we mahad two reports in the courtroom who told me that ed sheeran hugged katherine townsend at one point, and he invited her to an upcoming concert. maybe she'll go. ed sheeran said this is an important moment for the music industry and the outpouring of love he has felt from fans and musicians all over the world has been overwhelming. >> yeah, and really interesting that he and his team really making that case, this comes down to creativity and being a musician. chloe me las for us outside the courthouse, thank you so much. >> we all have a let's get it on ear worm now, don't we? ahead here, supreme court
