6:01 am
everyone, have a good weekend. cnn "news central" starts right now. an insider at mar-a-lago, a major new development as "the new york times" reports on a potentially crucial cooperator in the classified documents probe. what this could mean for the special counsel's investigation. just in this morning, a surprising april jobs report, the labor market is heating back up. what does this mean now for the economy? we will break it down. plus, the countdown to the coronation is on. we're live at buckingham palace as the official crowning of king charles iii happens tomorrow. those major stories and more all coming in right here to cnn "news central." ♪ all right. we have to start with those april jobs numbers showing
6:02 am
surprising growth in the labor -- growth in the labor market when other indicators have very clearly recently been pointing to possibly a cooling off. the new data was just released in the last 30 minutes and it shows employers added 253,000 jobs last month, that's far more than the 180,000 that was expected. in terms of the unemployment rate, that has also dropped slightly now at 3.4% down from 3.5% the month before which is another sign of strong hiring. this report comes also two days after the federal reserve raised interest rates for the tenth consecutive time, all in an effort to rein in inflation. do you have more questions today than yesterday? me as well. cnn's chief business correspondent christine romans is here. i don't know what to make of this. please help. >> resident, durable. the job market just keeps chugging here. hiring picking up in april. 253,000 jobs added. i went back to 2019, there was only one month in 2019 that was greater than that. you think of that pre-pandemic
6:03 am
this would have been considered a very, very strong job number. we've been looking for jobs growth to start to slow. a 3.4% unemployment rate quite frankly is near generational lows, 3.4% is quite low here. so that's a really important one to watch. i've been digging into these numbers. it looks like 4.7% unemployment rate for black americans, that's a record low. that means the job market is strong and it's starting to permeate through all different kinds of sectors and demographics. when you square that with all you've been hearing with tech layoffs and financial services layoffs and strains in the banking system and what i see is hiring of business and professional services, in leisure and hospitality, across the board you're seeing hiring here. there is a split screen where we have been talking about a recession and recession watch for more than a year and a half, but what's happening in the job market, it is still quite strong. >> maybe it's a split screen, maybe it's a yin yang meaning
6:04 am
it's working together. the job market is strong and inflation is showing signs of cooling off. isn't that what we're looking for? >> to have inflation cooling and the job market to remain robust, without throwing a wrench into the labor market that would be the perfect outcome. we don't know a year of fed rate hikes how long it will take for all of that medicine to really work. >> that's what i was going to ask you. >> there are economists saying by the end of the year they expect to see negative months in the labor market and that there's all of this tightening that's going to be coming in like a brick wall at some point, but it didn't -- we did not hit a brick wall in april. that was a strong month. >> look, another important piece of data but still we have i'm going to call it the long tale of the rate hikes. >> that's exactly right. >> thank you, christine. >> you're welcome. so there's the jobs picture today and there's also the broader picture of where the
6:05 am
jobs market is heading. the world economic forum put out a super interesting report this week, all about how economic trends and technology are reshaping the workplace. the fastest growing and fastest declining jobs and they were looking over the next five years. one key take away is they estimate 14 million jobs worldwide will go away completely over that time period based on the expectation the global economy will weaken and companies will continue moving towards embracing in a bigger way tech like artificial intelligence. the positive, the job types they expect to grow the most relative to their existing positions in the labor force include ai, machine learning commspecialistd it security analysts. on the flip side the top five jobs expected to decline the most over the next five years, number one, bank tellers and related clerks. this is coming of course as more people continue to move to online banking.
6:06 am
number two, postal service clerks as email and electronic communications replace snail mail. number three, cashiers and ticket office clerks. for largely the same reasons. these occupations are expected to decline by more than a third in the next five years. number four, data entry clerks as these roles become increasingly automated and number five other administrative roles like executive secretaries. again, due to automation and advanced technologies. the best advice coming from this report if you are going into the workforce are the topmost valued skills. analytical thinking, creative thinking, resilience, flexibility and agility. so start stretching, sara. it's coronation eve, just under 20 hours from now a ceremony not seen in the united kingdom in 70 years will begin. the official crowning of king charles iii. the monarch then will formally become the royal leader of the
6:07 am
uk. his wife camilla will also officially be crowned queen. you're looking at a live picture of the -- yes, there it is, buckingham palace right now and the parade route as well. thousands will soon descend upon the mall outside of buckingham palace. we initially, i am told in my ear from our executive producer chris that we have the king, but he is a little busy now. oh, there he is. there he is. there he is. he is talking to folks, shaking hands and just enjoying himself. max foster there right now joining us. final preparations being made, the king is out and about. tell us what we should expect. >> reporter: well, he's meeting governors general and commonwealth representatives really, he just left buckingham palace where he had lunch, he will be back later on where there will be a gathering of
6:08 am
heads of state who have all come in for the coronation. i think, sara, it could be the biggest gathering of heads of a state ever, the only comparable event we can think of is the funeral last year and that was obviously at short notice and it was also during the united nations general assembly. we think this is a bigger gathering of heads of state but we are not being given a specific list by the palace, we will have to wait and see who turns up at the coronation tomorrow. lots of preparations, they have been preparing for months for this, there have been military preparations at two air fields which are all about getting ready for that massive coronation procession which will leave the abby and come back to buckingham palace after the coronation. 4,000 members of the military, we haven't seen anything like that since the last coronation. arguably one of the biggest events we have seen in this country since then. it will be a lot of theater, but at the very heart of it will be effectively a divine moment
6:09 am
where he is anointed by holy oil and is effectively made the god's representative on earth, there's nothing less than that. that's how they actually view this occasion. and that particular moment in the middle of the service we won't actually see, it's going to be hidden because it's this very divine moment. as to the core of it and around that, sara, a huge amount of pomp and pageantry, processions, music, a lot of military and also some family dynamics as well. they're trying to modernize it as much as they can considering this is a ceremony going back 1,000 years, they're trying to have a lot of inclusivity so there will be a more diverse congregation there, there will be other religions involved in the service. a lot of history, trying to make it current, we will see afterwards whether they achieve that, but there's a lot of excitement about the pomp and pageantry which we do do pretty well, if it goes to plan. >> there is nowhere else in the world, i think you would agree, that pomp and pageantry is done
6:10 am
better than the royals and the uk. max foster, thank you so much. john? all right. this morning major new signs that the special counsel's investigation into the classified documents found at mar-a-lago is focusing on possible obstruction of justice. "the new york times" reports prosecutors now have the cooperation of an insider witness who worked for trump at the florida resort. now, we don't know who this witness is but the times reports prosecutors are hoping he or she will help fill in some of the gaps about how the documents trump took from the white house were handled once they got to mar-a-lago. cnn's paula reid has been reporting on this for months and months. credit where credit is due, you and the cnn team had a huge story yesterday that the special prosecutor was talking to the kalamari's father and son about security issues around mar-a-lago. this is part and parcel on that, focusing in on potential gaps with the documents. >> reporter: you're right. this is a big headline from the
6:11 am
"new york times," a potentially cooperating witness. if you read the story even they acknowledge this could be significant, but they don't have much reporting about who this is and what they've shared beyond a single photo of a storage room. the storage room is significant because classified documents were contained in some boxes that moved in and out of storage, but right now what we're really looking at is who this person could potentially be. we know from our reporting that pretty much everyone who has worked at mar-a-lago from the gardeners, the waiters, all the way to operation, even the head of security they have all been subpoenaed, investigators have been talking to all of them. it's not clear when they say cooperation that they mean someone who has provided potentially significant evidence in this case or if there's someone who has complied with them or given them photos or other knowledge they should have as part of their job at the property. right now we broke the story that investigators are curious about whether they have all the surveillance footage from mar-a-lago. they need that to understand
6:12 am
what happened to those classified documents once they went down to florida and they did a new round of subpoenas just yesterday, matthew calamari sr. and his son went before the grand jury to talk about what exactly happened to that security footage after they received a subpoena. so at this point a lot of significant developments but what all of this tells us is that this investigation is far from over. yesterday we saw several new witnesses going before the grand jury and they are unlikely to be the last. >> far from over. and also that obstruction is a component of it. whether or not they will prove it or not we don't know, but they are clearly focused on that. to that end there is an individual who from the beginning here has been a key figure and we know that investigators questioned, that's this personal aide to donald trump. where is he in all of this now? >> reporter: it's a great question. even as someone who has covered former president trump for quite some time, wait, wait nada he is
6:13 am
jr. on the security footage they did receive investigators saw walt and one other employee moving boxes from a storage facility, we have learned those boxes contained some classified materials. we know investigators have spoken with walt several times, but he does not appear to have been completely cooperative. there are also concerns he may have given inconsistent statements. i'm getting a wrapping cue but i want to include this piece of our reporting. we know that investigators called in trump's chief operating officer and executive vice president at the trump organization matthew calamari jr. because he received a text message from who? from walt nada asking him to talk and they want to know what they talked about and if they discussed anything related to that security footage. >> thank you so much for your reporting this morning. coming up on cnn "news central," a new report says a top judicial activist paid thousands of dollars to the wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas and tried to keep it from public view.

6:20 am
thousands of dollars for consulting work at the directio activist leonard leo. in reviewing documents the "post" says that leo specified there should be, quote, no mention of ginni of course in any paperwork associated with this payment. this is how it went according to the "washington post," leonard leo advises the network of conservative nonprofits including the judicial education project, he then -- he told then republican pollster kellyanne conway to give ginni thomas, quote, another 25 k and that is where the line of no mention of giin of course came in. that same day conway's firm billed the judicial education project for $25,000. it's unclear exactly what ginni thomas did for conway's polling firm or the education project. joan biskupic is looking into this. what's the bigger issue here? >> good morning, kate.
6:21 am
yes, this is all part of what we're learning of -- what we've known has been a very secretive world of money and influence around the supreme court and why so many people are pushing the justices to adopt a formal code of ethics, but i want to say that all these instances that have come out recently in news reports are not all the same and not of the same weight. let's start by saying what leonard leo told the "washington post" in response to that report. the work ginni did here did not involve anything connected with either the court's business or other legal issues. knowing how disrespectful, malicious and gossipy people can be i have always tried to protect the privacy of justice thomas and ginny. so let me get to this, kate, about what's the same here and why these kinds of reports keep raising concerns and what's different. we saw just recently reports from propublica about republican
6:22 am
billionaire harlan crow giving gifts to clarence thomas, gifts of travel and lodging, most recently a gift that involved the -- a grand nephew that clarence thomas and his wife were raising, money that would allow that child to go to a private boarding school. now, those instances were supposed to be reported as money that came to clarence thomas. this instance arguably did not have to be reported in any way because right now the spouses don't have to detail their income on these forms. but that aside let me just say that once again it's another issue that points up how much we don't know about wealthy interests trying to influence justices or maybe not even trying to influence justices, but raising that kind of spectre and that's why there's so much pressure for the justices to adopt a formal code of ethics rather than as the justices hope this all fades away.
6:23 am
i don't think this time, kate, this is going to fade away. >> that's a great point. and you have so much experience with all -- with the court that it's great to have your perspective on it, joan, thank you. this morning senator dianne feinstein is insisting her month-long absence from the senate is not holding up judicial confirmations. the 89-year-old california democrat is facing scrutiny for extended leave from capitol hill as she recovers from shingles. she has not voted in the senate since february 16th, missing dozens of votes. she has also been absent from her seat on the senate judiciary committee but feinstein insists it's not her fault some judicial confirmations from stalled and instead is laying blame on republicans for blocking them. cnn's lauren fox is at capitol hill for us on this. lauren, "the new york times" editorial board this morning had a very strong op-ed urging feinstein to make the what they
6:24 am
called responsible decision. how big of a deal is that? does it matter to her and her people? >> reporter: well, sara, obviously pressure is really ratcheting up on the 89-year-old senator, dianne feinstein. she served more than three decades in the u.s. senate, but she is facing more and more pressure to step aside because of her prolonged absence both from the u.s. senate and her seat on the senate judiciary committee. that editorial board writes in part, quote, if members can't effectively represent their constituents they should not hesitate to turn their job over to someone who can. ms. feinstein owes california a responsible decision. we still don't know when senator feinstein may return to the senate. her office has said she continues to consult with medical advice to try to understand when it would be safe for her to return, but she did push back yesterday on growing arguments that her absence has had a real impact on the biden administration's ability to fill
6:25 am
judicial seats, arguing, quote, there has been no slowdown. when i return to the senate we will be able to move on the remaining qualified nominees. what's been happening is there have been a number of judicial nominees that were in the pipeline ready to go to the senate floor, they had listen been approved by the senate judiciary committee either before senator fine tine's absence or because their votes were bipartisan in the committee. the issue becomes once you work thru about a dozen nominees that were left in that pipeline you run into a situation perhaps in a matter of weeks where you just don't have as many judicial nominees to put on the senate floor. that is where the slowdown really could unfold. sara? >> all right. lauren fox, thank you for all of that from capitol hill. kate? we could soon see a huge shift in the battlefield in ukraine. the private mercenary group leading russia's fight in bakhmut is threatening to leave. plus a florida man punches ann umpire at his son's basebal game and it was all caught on

6:31 am
brig dee general steve austin. two questions about this claim from the wagner group. number one and i'm not sure we believe them, first of all, but if wagner did pull out of bakhmut what would that mean for the military situation there. but two and perhaps more importantly, what does this bickering tell us about discipline and coordination inside the russian military? >> well, thank you, john. what it tells us is that this is a really bad army and they've got a lot of issues. i mean, mercenaries make great security guards, they don't make good soldiers. we're seeing that play out right here. i mean, obviously this would be a terrible blow to the russian military. they're trying to fight for the city of bakhmut. i can imagine general patton in the middle of his assault on germany in 1944 had said, you know, i'm not getting all the ammo i need, i'm pulling the third army out this have fight here. it's ridiculous. it just shows how poorly led, how poorly equipped, how poorly trained and what a bad army that the russian army s they're ten
6:32 am
years away from being a competent fighting force. >> general, a key piece of reporting from alex marquardt and his team saying that the ukrainians on the ground and u.s. officials are concerned that the russians have been able to jam electronically jack the guidance system of the himars, this is the artillery rocket system that the u.s. has been providing to the ukrainians that has shown some success on the ground. how significant would that be? >> well, it is significant. i mean, you need the himars to conduct the deep strikes that they're going to need. if they're going to conduct a counteroffensive they're going to have to achieve a breakthrough somewhere and they're going to have to use their superior maneuver, their ability to integrate indirect fire, direct fire and aviation and of course the himars is a very key component of this indirect fire capability. my big concern with the himars is the maintenance requirements. i mean, my understanding is that many of them perhaps as much as
6:33 am
50% are not operational. we don't have the maintenance capability and to repair parts to keep those things operational. jamming is an issue, with he just need more himars system and we need to use those himars systems effectively and that means maintaining them appropriately. >> you talked about this potential ukrainian counteroffensive, i have a map of ukraine i want to show people the river here which is one of the world's key waterways but a strategically important water way in ukraine right now. you can see it divides the ukrainian forces and the russian forces toward the south of the country. where do you think it would be important for ukraine to strike if it can? >> well, they've got about a 400 mile front there. the good news is that the russians are spread thin and what they've got to do, they've got to find one place, a weak innocence that front and they need to penetrate. in order -- and then they've got to be conducting an envelopment that gets around them because they're not going to be able to go toe to toe with the russians.
6:34 am
the russians are too strong, they've probably got a couple hundred thousand troops and they're dug in, have been there for a year, they're preparing great defensive operations and defensive mechanisms in each area. they've got to be able to find a weakness on the wall, penetrate it and use their superior maneuver, their ability to integrate aviation, ground, direct fire and indirect fire all of that in a synergistic effect to defeat and envelope the russian army. >> general steve anderson, great to talk to you. thanks for being with us today. kate? after a series of stabbings that terrified the campus of uc davis police have arrested a former student in connection with the attacks. they say that carlos dominguez was arrested on two counts of homicide, one count of attempted murder. officials believe that dominguez is behind these stabbings we've been talking about that took place over just the course of five days. two of the stabbing victims you
6:35 am
will recall died, one was left severely wounded. cnn's camila bernal is tracking this for us and joins us. what are you hearing about what led police to the suspect? >> reporter: it was really the community that led police to the suspect and keep in mind this was a community on edge about these three stabbings. now, we know that about 15 people on wednesday called police saying that they saw someone who possibly looked like this suspect. i want you to listen to one of these callers and what he told police. here he is. >> i had called in a report while i was in the car just saying that there was a person matching this description walking down the street and kind of tried to keep them updated. i'm hoping that this is the person and that davis can kind of be done with this. >> reporter: and police say, yes, they believe that is the person and one of those 15 callers actually followed this
6:36 am
suspect and police were able to find him when they did he had a large knife inside of his backpack. that's what they initially arrested him for. he was interviewed by investigators for hours. police describing him as someone who was very reserved. of course, what's interesting here is that he was a third-year student at uc davis and the university said he had been separated from the university for academic reasons just days before these stabbings. so of course a lot of the students, members of the community, they were just terrified and now they're grateful that he was arrested but still hoping and praying for that third victim who is recovering at the hospital. kate? >> and still so many questions about what the -- i mean, why. camilla, thank you so much. sara? there's been a second mass shooting in serbia just this week. the bloodshed is sending shock waves through a country completely unaccustomed to something like that. a live report is still ahead

this morning a second mass shooting in just two days in serbia. overnight the gunman suspected in the latest shooting was arrested after an hours' long manhunt. police say the 21-year-old opened fire on three villages about 30 miles south of the capital killing eight people and injuring ten others. this comes just one day after a 13-year-old boy killed nine people at a school in belgrade.
6:42 am
until this week mass shootings in serbia were extremely rare this, last one was -- the last one was a decade ago when a veteran killed 13 people in a central serbian village. this is despite the country's high rate of gun ownership, a remnant of the wars in the 1990s, serbia has the highest level of civilian gun ownership in europe and the fifth highest in the world. cnn's scott mclean is in belgrade for us this morning and this latest shooting this really did lead to this intense manhunt, scott. >> reporter: yeah, yesterday it seemed like it was a wake-up call the school shooting on wednesday for this country and this latest shooting overnight was something on an entirely different level of shock for this country. you're right, it was a huge man manhunt, some 600 officers spawned out across a large swath of the country. we saw heavily armed police officers in full tactical gear, balaclavas, heavy i will armed manning check points and searching along the side of
6:43 am
highways in lines. it was a very tense situation for hours and hours and terrifying for the people especially those who lived around the villages or in the villages that were actually affected by the shots that were fired. what is especially concerning is that when this suspect was actually found in the early hours of this morning he had four hand grenades with him and an automatic weapon something that is impossible for ordinary civilians to obtain legally in this country. even after the school shooting on wednesday the government was already promising, john, to really crack down and strengthen the existing gun control system. they wanted to put a moratorium in place for two years on issuing new gun licenses and after this latest shooting the president went on president dr. aleksandar vucic and promised to do even more. he also promised to put a school -- an armed police officer inside of every school, he says that great nations have managed to find solutions after

tragedies and he believes that serbia will be no exception, john. >> and it is certainly a great tragedy, too. scott mclean, in belgrade, thank you so much. tomorrow is the famed kentucky derby but people are not talking about which horse is going to win, rather why several horses have died at churchill downs this week. the racetrack calls the death of four horses troubling and unacceptable. a man who trained two of those horses, churchill downs has suspended him indefinitely. which means another horse he trains will not run in the derby as planned. joseph tells a cnn affiliate he's being made a scapegoat in this case. nick watt is following the story for us. i know you have covered racetracks and the problem with horse deaths at racetracks including in california. it happens more often than we think, doesn't it? >> reporter: it does, sara. listen, you know, churchill downs called these four deaths
6:45 am
within a week, you know, highly unusual and, yeah, that might be an unusual cluster, but deaths do happen. you know, there is an organization horse racing wrongs an activist group and they say that actually last year 28 horses in total died at churchill downs. this is a problem, this is a problem particularly when it comes in a week like this. you know, right now we should be talking who is going to win the derby. mint juleps, nice hats. instead we're talking about humane youth nay is that of a couple horses injured, the sudden deaths of two others. it's not what the industry wants. four horses, two broke bones were then euthanized, two died suddenly, both trained by this safe joseph jr. take a listen to what he has to say and another trainer about what might have happened here. what they don't know.
6:46 am
>> it's -- yeah, i'm shattered, basically. because i know it can't -- like it's mind-boggling. the odds of it to happen is a trillion. i run almost 4,000 horses and it never happens like that. it doesn't -- it doesn't make sense. >> it's not -- i think we have run into a bad streak here. >> reporter: now, the track often gets blamed in issues like this, churchill downs says that is not the issue. but, you know, joseph says i'm the scapegoat here. we don't know why these horses died yet, but i'm suspended. he says that the track is just trying to save their image. calls it sad. sara? >> it is extremely sad to see these horses die in such quick succ succession. nick watt, thank you for your reporting as always. new this morning, scientists are ringing alarm bells over just how warm the oceans are becoming. but do you know what, don't take my board for it, here is bill

the charts, surface heat levels hitting record-breaking points in mid-march. scientists are now scrambling to figure out why and why now. it goes without saying that ocean water heating up like this is extremely dangerous. it can lead to all sorts of things like bleaching coral, killing marine life, and of course, increasing the actual sea level. bill weir has been looking into this data. he's joining us now. your location is key. it might be surprising to see where you're standing and why, bill, but what do scientists think could be the reason behind this temperature jump? >> reporter: well, we really don't know. that's what's so interestinger. this is so off the charts, such an anomaly right now.

could it be the el nino seasonal effect? we know that name goes back to the 1700s when fishermen noticed the fishing went horrible around christmas time, they called it the child, el nino, after christmas there. la nina is the inverse, the colder pattern. that's what we had the past couple years. it looks like that's over and el nino is moving in, but another culprit could be what you're seeing behind me. we're in the shipping yards of jersey city. a couple years ago, there was a global change in the kind of fuel these massive ships could use. as a result, there's less sulfur coming out of these big boys as they cross the pacific and atlantic. they're making a different kind of ship trail in the sky, and as a result of that, that could have been, that old pollution, a sunscreen all these years, masking the effects of global warming. we know the oceans have been absorbing about 90% of the excess heat since the industrial revolution, sort of hiding the real damage that's being done
6:53 am
right now. and so they're worried could this be a dangerous new tipping point? could it be seasonal, could it be the result of a change like this? we really don't understand fully what's happening in the stratosphere, twice as high as our flights to grandmother's just a couple month ago, noaa sent the first flights up there to test the upper stratosphere, to see what volcanic ash and wildfire smoke and shipping pollution and all of these things, even space junk that's disintegrating is having an effect on the reflectivity of infrared light coming in and heating up the planet, but it's right now alarming to say the least. >> absolutely. bill, thank you for putting it the way you do so well. i really appreciate it. it's really remarkable that pollution can act as sunscreen, john. >> yeah, spf, what, like 70? too high, clearly. >> 55. >> a florida father is out on bond this morning after he was arrested for punching an umpire during a high school baseball game last month.
6:54 am
video shows 41-year-old jorge gonzalez approach the field and punch the 63-year-old umpire after an argument between the umpire and a player. his son is one of the baseball players. cnn's carlos suarez following the story. carlos, what could this man now be faced with in terms of charges? >> reporter: john, that 41-year-old who has been identified as george gonzalez, as you mentioned, has since gotten out of jail. he was able to post bond on two charges, his first charge is battery on a sports official, and then that second charge is disruption of a school function. he was table post $1,500 bail. according to the oseola county sheriff, all of this happens during a baseball, high school baseball game last month. oseola county is south of orlando. according to authorities, the umpire gives one of the baseball players an unsportsmanlike conduct warning, apparently the two go back and forth, and it's
6:55 am
at that point according to the surveillance video that you have been able to see, gonzalez walks up to the umpire, this 63-year-old, and he punches him in the head. that causes the umpire to essentially go cold. he knocks out. you can see folks running up to him. then we're told gonzalez casually walks off. according to the sheriff, this isn't the first time that gonzalez has had an issue at a baseball game and he apparently showed zero remorse about what happened. here's hwhat the sheriff said. >> he's basically laughing because i told him you're being arrested. because i'm being arrested for defending my kid? it's not funny. this is not his first time. i have heard he's gone to other like a harmony game at another school and causes a disruption. however, it never got to this level where he actually struck someone and then after he strikes him, you know, the guy is not even facing him because he's a coward, and then he just
6:56 am
leaves. >> reporter: all right, john, so that umpire, that 63-year-old, we're told, is doing just okay. he said he is relaxed, considering what happened, and he's ready to officiate his next game and once he's kind of over some of all of this drama he says he might go ahead and pack things up and go fishing. >> carlos, the amount of anger on the sideline, children's sporting events, it's just awful. thank you so much for that report. sara. >> terrible lesson for kids. all right, just ahead for us on cnn news central, police are now saying a former student is responsible for a string of stabbings near the uc davis campus in california. a live report for you on what we're learning about the suspect this morning. what do you mean? these straps are mind-blowing! they collect hundreds of data points like hrv and rem sleep, so you know all you need for recovery. and yoyou are? i'm an investor...in invevesco qqq, a fund that giveves me access to...
