the countdown is on for the pomp and pageantry that has not been seen in the uk for 70 years. the coronation of king charles to be more specific. cnn is live in london as the crowds are gathering and the king is on the move this morning. >> an insider is now cooperating. this morning a stunning new report as donald trump's classified documents probe heats up. what this could mean for the special counsel's investigation. also, heating up, the labor

market. april's surprising jobs report. all this coming in right here to cnn news central. all right, surprising and impressive jobs numbers just in this morning from the labor department. employers added 253,000 jobs last month. that is a lot more than the 180,000 that were expected. the unemployment rate also dropped slightly, now 3.4%, it's down from 3.5%, and 3.4% is like the lowest level it's been since 1969. this report comes just two days after the fed raised interest rates for the tenth consecutive time, all in an effort to rein in inflation. rahel solomon is with us. these are good numbers. >> these are good numbers and the labor market continues to defy expectations.

253,000 jobs added in the month of april. as you said, stronger than almost every economist that was polled was expecting. also stronger than the months prior. i want to put that 253,000 in perspective. we did get downward revisions for the prior two months so stronger than that, but you can see this is still historically strong growth. perhaps not as strong as during the pandemic, but in normal times this is a renormalizing of the economy. i want to show you 3.4% for unemployment, tying a 50-year low. we have been in this range of unemployment between 3.4% to 3.7% since march of 2022. we have been really tight, and when you look at the sectors where we're seeing the strongest job growth, it's sectors like business, financial services, really strong hiring for accountants, health care, think nursing, home facilities, that sort of thing, also strong job growth with leisure and hospitality which was battered by the pandemic. and all of this despite those

ten interest rate hikes you pointed out, despite 14 months of a very aggressive fed. that means we have still seen despite all this consumers continue to spend and companies continue to hire. >> companies continue to hire. i mean, the numbers tell the story. still positive and better than people expected. what about all the layoffs that have been in the news? we see layoffs in tech companies and other areas? >> a great point. what we're seeing essentially is a tale of two economies. parts of the economy that are more consumer facing like li leisure, like hospitality, they're still adding jobs. i adjust talked to the chief economist of zip recruiter and asked her the same thing. she said there's a funny situation going on where you have a boon in half the economy and a bit of a bust in other parts of the economy. and less than half of the economy, relatively low job gains and the production sector. if you are in parts of the economy that are interest rate

sensitive, financial services, for example, certainly tech, you might not be seeing this boon. if you're working at a hotel, a restaurant, you're experiencing this. >> the overall story is the economy has been resilient to all these interest rate hikes. >> remarkable. >> thank you very much. kate. >> thank you, john. california police have arrested a former student in connection with a string of stabbings near a college campus. the stabbings really terrified and paralyzed the community of uc davis. and now, 21-year-old carlos dominguez is under arrest and facing charges of two counts of homicide and one count of attempted murder. the three stabbings, you'll remember, happened over the course of just five days and two of the victims died. and one was left severely wounded. cnn's camilla bernal is tracking this for us. camilla, what are you hearing -- what are you hearing about if the suspect, whether or not he's talking to police at this point?

>> reporter: well, kate, we know that the detectives interviewed him for hours, so yes, they were talking to him. it's unclear exactly how much he was able to say or wanted to say. police described him as someone that was very reserved. now, they also say they do not have a motive at the moment, but what they do say they have is evidence, not only linking him to the stabbings but also evidence that shows these victims tried to fight back. i mean, you mentioned it. this community was terrified after these stabbings were reported. and it was members of that same community that reported the suspect because we know that on wednesday at least 15 people called police saying they saw someone that matched the description. here is one of those callers and what he told police. >> 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 saying yes, davis can be done with this. but there is, of course, a long legal process ahead. there's also the fact here that there is more to learn to figure out exactly why he was doing this. it's interesting to note this was a third-year student and so the university said that on the 25th, essentially, they separated him, that's what the university said, for academic reasons. and then you have all of these stabbings. then you have the community, of course, just so concerned about what's going on here, so a lot of people just breathing easily today, and of course, thinking about that one victim that survived who was severely injured but is still in the hospital, kate. >> that's a great point.

still trying to recover from those serious wounds. camilla, thank you so much. sara. 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" is reporting prosecutors now have the cooperation of a witness, an insider who worked for trump at the florida resort. we do not know who this witness is, but the times reports prosecutors are hoping the person will help fill in some gaps about how the documents trump took from the white house were handled once they got to mar-a-lago. cnn's paula reed is following all of these developments. being in the room where it happened could be really significant, couldn't it? >> reporter: it could be. and while that's a big headline, cooperating witness, the story itself acknowledges this could be significant but little is known about who this person is and what they have provided beyond a photo of a storage

space. that storage space is very significant because we know that's where classified documents for a time were stored and they were eventually moved. it's unclear if this person has provided any incriminating evidence or just some material that they would have access to in the course of their job at mar-a-lago. cnn has reported pretty much anyone who works at mar-a-lago at this point has been subpoenaed from waiters and waitresses to people in operations, all the way up to the head of security. so it's unclear when they say there's a cooperating witness, is this someone who has flipped and could potentially expose the former president or aides to legal jeopardy or is this someone who is just complying with what has been requested of them by investigators? but the big story we broke on wednesday is also significant because we now know that investigators, they're really focused on whether or not they have all of the security footage from mar-a-lago, because that security footage is key to knowing what happened to all these classified documents once they went down to mar-a-lago? we know that one of the things they have seen on that

surveillance tape is a junior trump aide, walt nada, and another employee, moving boxes out of a storage space, and yesterday, we also broke the news that investigators spoke to matthew calamari, sr., a guy who worked at the trump organization for decades, executive vice president, chief operating officer of the trump organization. he oversees security. the reason they want to talk to them is because he received a text message from walt nada asking him to talk, and investigators want to go what happened off line and if there were conversations about surveillance tape and what happened after they sent a subpoena ask trg that footage, did they receive all of it and did anyone tamper with it. from our reporting, from the headline in "the new york times," it's clear this investigation is far from over. >> jack smith is being slow and methodical, it seems. thank you so much, paula reed there live for us in washington. john. countdown to the coronation. london in the middle of all those last-minute things you need to do before a crowning of a monarch.

palace in sudan. today, black smoke has been hanging over the capital for days as a cease-fire after cease-fire continue to fail. this morning, one of the main telecom providers there has stopped service, making already difficult communications even worse. also watching this, big crowds were seen in the west bank today to mourn the deaths of three palestinians killed in an israeli raid. israel says one of the men killed was the gunman who shot and killed a british israeli woman and two of her daughters last month. now, in cuba, major fuel shortages have forced the government to scale back their may day celebrations. take a look at this video from havana this morning. the annual parade was canceled but people are still gathering. this didn't happen overnight, as you have probably well known. people have been waiting in long lines to get gas for nearly a month at this point. john. a new report from "the washington post" this morning,

they have reviewed documents showing ginni thomas, the wife of supreme court justice clarence thomas, was paid tens of thousands of dollars for consulting work. the post says it was all set up by conservative activist leonard leo. they say leo specified there should be, quote, no mention of ginni in any paperwork. according to the post reporting, leonard leo advises a network of conservative nonprofits that work to support the nominations of conservative judges and in january 2012, leo told republican pollster kellyanne conway to bill the judicial education project. the post says he told conway to then give ginni thomas another $25,000. they say documents show he emphasized the paperwork should have, quote, no mention of ginni, of course. it's unclear exactly what ginni thomas did for conway's polling firm or the judicial education project. thomas has not commented for that report. cnn's senior supreme court

analyst has been looking into this, and joan, it comes in the middle of all these questions about ethics inside the supreme court. >> reporter: you know, that's right, john. this is just one more piece of awareness we're all getting about the very secretive world of the supreme court and money surrounding the supreme court. individuals giving money to justices and questions being raised about why and does that actually influence the justices in cases. let's start with what leonard leo has said in response to "the washington post" story. the work ginni did here did not involve anything connected with either the court's business or other legal issues. knowing how disrespectful and gossipy people can be, i have always tried to protect the privacy of justice thomas and ginni. let's remind people of who leonard leo is. leonard leo is arguably the most powerful person beyond the white house and congress to have affected the federal judiciary.

he was a federalist society leader. he helped hand-pick the three justices that donald trump put on the supreme court, so leonard leo is a very powerful individual. he's also a very good friend of clarence thomas' dating from 1990. but let's just then draw some distinctions between what we just learned from "the washington post" last night and what we learned from propublica which has done very extensive reporting on the money that republican billionaire harlan crow has given to clarence thomas for luxurious trips on his superyacht and private jets to all sorts of places across the globe. helped finance, we learned most recently, a young grand nephew of justice thomas, helped finance his private education. now, those things from harlan crow probably should have been reported on justice thomas' financial disclosure forms. money that flowed to ginni right now, the way the justices' financial disclosure forms are,

they don't -- spouses don't need to report that kind of information. but this all goes to the problem that the justices have with no formal ethics code, no watchdog able to see are they even meeting their own standards, and that's why each of these instances is getting so much attention. and frankly, rightfully so. these people set the law of the land for the country, they do nots abide by any formal ethics code, and i think what's happened is they have just depended on the fact these instances fade over time, but the reality is that we're all becoming much more aware of the moneyed interests in the justices' world and how much they can influence these individual justices. john. >> thank you so much for explaining all of this to us. sara. 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 recovered from shingles. she's not voted finish february 17th, missing dozens of votes there. she's also been absent from her seat on the senate judiciary committee, but she insists it's not her fault some judicial confirmations have stalled and instead is blaming the republicans for blocking them. cnn's lauren fox is on capitol hill for us. we have seen aoc come out and publicly say she believes she should step down. i know that some democrats are privately saying this. but now you have got a "new york times" editorial board that came out an op-ed saying she needs to make the responsible decision and basically saying she should step down. is any of this having a serious effect, a pressure on her and her staff? >> reporter: well, obviously, this is really a show of increased scrutiny on senator dianne feinstein's absence here in the u.s. senate, which has been going on, like you said, for more than two months. and there's a series of concerns

here. one, you have an upcoming deadline to increase the country's debt ceiling. yes, democrats can do this on their own in the u.s. senate with some republican support, but the argument coming from a lot of democrats is it would be more helpful if they had an extra democratic vote, that means they could get one less republican vote. you're also getting this renewed push from "the new york times" editorial board, and i want to read you a piece of their piece earlier today. it said, 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. it's important to recognize that senator feinstein's impact on the senate has been tremendous, and she's served here for more than three decades. the argument coming from her office yesterday was that she hasn't caused a slowdown of the judicial nomination process, saying, quote, there has been no slowdown. when i return to the senate, he

will be able to move the remaining qualified nominees. but sara, the issue is there have been a number of judges in the pipeline ready to go to the senate floor. what becomes a problem is in the next couple weeks senators are going to run out of judges that have already been approved in the senate judiciary committee to put on the floor. when that happened expect more of a pressure campaign is going to mount because then the only judges they can get through the judiciary committee are those that have republican and democratic support. there's a number of nominees who need votes who have expected to just fall along party lines. that is what a lot of democrats are arguing is the reasoning behind this renewed push to ask senator feinstein to retire. >> as you mentioned, she's definitely a trail blazer but there is this renewed push. thank you so much, lauren fox. kate. a live look at buckingham palace right now, as tomorrow is the big day. the coronation of king charles iii. we're going to be live for you outside buckingham palace with a

. tomorrow, thousands will crowd the streets of london. they're already crowding them. and millions will watch around the world, as king charles iii is officially crowned in a pageant filled coronation

ceremony. the united kingdom has not seen in 70 years. tomorrow's fanfare will include two processions. the first you're seeing here. 1.3-mile route, it begins at buckingham palace and will take king charles and queen camilla to the ceremony. they'll head down the mall in a diamond jubilee coach and then move through admirality arch before turning to white hall. next, they will travel past 10 downing street and through parliament square, ending at westminster abbey for the crowning. this morning, the king went out to the mall and greeted crowds of people lining the streets. and joining me now to discuss is cnn royal commentator emily nash. you have gotten quite close to the king, i understand. >> reporter: that's right. i was lucky enough to be happening to walk down the mall when he came out, followed behind by the prince and princess of wales. and he really gave people quite a lovely surprise.

i think lots of people obviously had been camping overnight to try to just capture a glimpse of his proinvestcession and were n expecting to get a hand shake from the king and a chance to talk to him on the eve of his coro coronation. >> it's remarkable to see how excited people are. there were people holding two american flags. you're seeing the pictures now, and someone from canada said they had come. this is great certainly for tourism. can you give us a sense of what we are going to see, because this is the most pomp and circumstance that i think we have seen in almost 70 years. >> reporter: for most of us, it will be the first time in our lifetimes we'll have seen anything quite this spectacular. we had a taste obviously of this pomp and ceremony around the queen's funeral back in september. this is a really different atmosphere. it's very celebratory. almost like a festival really in the streets out there. you know, with the flags, the bunting, people sharing stories,

making friends, as you say, with people from all over the world. and we're going to see obviously the incredible regalia from the crown jewels that have been brought out from the tower of london for this occasion, but we'll also see a lot of modernizing touches, personal touches on the day. i think it will really reflect the king's personality. >> i want to mention we're seeing some of those crown jewels. not bad. i understand the queen when she first had to wear that crown, it was really however a eand she had to really struggle to make sure her head stayed up straight. about 250,000 britons turned out to pay their respect to queen elizabeth ii when she was lying in state. are we expecting to see that kind of a huge crowd again for this much happier ceremony? >> i think we will see something comparable to that. obviously, the crowds that lined up to see the queen lying in state did so over several days.

i think people will get behind this tomorrow as a moment in history. whatever their views are of the monarchy, this is only the 40th time this will have happened in a thousand years and people want to say they were there, whether they're in the streets or watching it on tv or from their local pub or a street party. it's going to be something that is talked about for decades to come. >> i do want to ask you because it has been 70 years and this is very different world we're living in. you know, the uk is far more diverse now. how will this ceremony reflect the new times that we're in? >> reporter: well, we are going to see a much broader variety of people in the abbey than we did in 1953, for example, for the late queen. it was largely peers, lords and ladies of the realm. everyone wearing their coronets and tiaras. we'll see far more ordinary people and people recognized for their contribution to society.

of course, there will be heads of state and foreign royals there. you would expect them to be on such a big state occasion, but i think the king has made sure this ceremony is as modern and as inclusive as it possibly can be given it's following 1,000 years of ritual tradition. >> thank you for joining us from buckingham palace. what a scene we're seeing live now. all of the motorcade is all backed up there, and you see people waiting. kate. that is a motorcade. so for the massive crowds gearing up to catch a glimpse of the new king, it's also looking like they need to prepare for the weather at the very same time. tomorrow's coronation could be a washout. allison chinchara is taking a look at this, tracking the weather and rain moving in. what's it looking like? >> reporter: full meaning of rain on your parade may come to fruition tomorrow. unfortunately for a lot of those people standing outside hoping to catch a glimpse. when we look at today, we have already had some showers kind of move across the area.

we're not talking a washout, per se, but we have had several scattered showers move across areas of england, also ireland and scotland as the system continues to make its way to the east. here's a look at the radar. again, the good news is we're not talking incredibly heavy rain. but you have had some patches here and there of some light to moderate showers. the problem is going forward. now, in the morning for a lot of those folks hoping to catch a glimpse before a lot of the festivities take place, you may get lucky. things are expected to be much drier tomorrow morning. once we get into the afternoon, look at that surge of moisture really start to come in around lunch time locally there, and then continue through the afternoon hours. unfortunately, that's when so many things are happening, that key time between noon and 4:00 to 5:00 p.m. tomorrow. a lot of people outside, and unfortunately, not going to line up with a lot of the nicer weather. and an additional heavy rain pushes in on monday. overall, however, temperatures will be mild, but really likely on the warmer end of some of the

more recent coronations. you're just going to need the umbrella handy to go along with it. >> thank you so much. john, i asked the mayor of london about the weather, and his response was, lionel richie is going to be there. >> lionel richie makes everything better. they say it's good luck when it rains on your coronation. >> is that true? fantastic. mark your calendars for what could be a key date in republican presidential primary posturing. florida governor ron desantis closing one door as he perhaps readies to open another. ♪ ♪ ♪ get 2.9% apr for 36 months plus $1,500 purchase allowance on an xt5 and xt6 when you finance through cadillac financial. ♪

says that covid is no longer a global health emergency. this is three years into the pandemic now. cnn's senior medical correspondent elizabeth cohen is with us. how did the w.h.o. come to this conclusion, what does it mean? >> reporter: so the w.h.o. looked at the epidemiology, how much it's spreading, how severe it is, and they came up with, you know, we think this public health emergency is over. and let's take a look at this moment. january 30th, 2020, that's when it began. and now it ends today, may 5th, 2023. so that's when the world health organization, here is the w.h.o.'s doctor. >> epidem logically, this will continue to cause waves. what we're hopeful is we have to tools in place to make sure future waves do not result in more severe disease, don't

result in death. we just need to make sure that we're tracking the virus because it will continue to evolve. >> reporter: so the doctor also said look, we need to look at other viruses too. we have learned from this experience that new viruses happen and the world needs to learn how to deal with it so that millions don't die. john. >> and elizabeth, the u.s. is on its own timeline in terms of emergency declarations and this is running out too. >> reporter: it is. so on may 11th is when the public health emergency in the u.s. ends. it has ended before and was renewed. the thinking now is it won't be renewed, that this really is going to end on may 11th given what the w.h.o. has just done. it will affect some things. you won't be able to get covid tests for free in many cases, the hope is that it won't impact too many people because the numbers of covid cases have come down over time.

>> elizabeth cohen, a welcome date i think coming up for all of us. thank you very much. the countdown is on right now for a possible presidential campaign announcement from florida governor ron desantis. the governor has been hinting that his future plans would be decided or maybe just announced after the florida state legislature wrapped up their session. that session wraps up today. cnn is in florida. steve, what about the state legislature, their agenda, really could be teeing up desantis for a presidential announcement? >> reporter: kate, desantis handed off a long list of priorities that he wanted to see through -- get through the legislative session before he made an announcement for governor, and this legislature which is controlled in both chambers by republicans largely delivered for him. let me go through some of the priorities that have made their way to his dev. many of them are very contentious. it include universities can no longer spend money on diversity

programs. k-12 schools will restrict transgender teachers from using pronouns of their preferred choice, and generally discourage pronoun discussions in general. abortion in florida will be banned after six weeks with limited exceptions for rape, insist, and the life of the mother. it also allows people -- they will also allow people to carry a concealed weapon in florida without training or a permit. the legislature also saved some of their most contentious items for the end including a number of bills that will change lives for transgender people in the state of florida. there is a prohibition on children receiving gender affirming treatments in florida going forward, and it also prohibits transgender people from using the bathroom that matches their gender identity. and desantis is actually holding a press conference right now where he's taking sort of a victory lap for everything he was able to get accomplished, and he wants to take these legislative accomplishments and basically turn them into a

platform that he can run on against the republican field. kate, there are a lot of formers currently running for president. former president donald trump, former governor nikki haley, former governor hutchinson, but desantis as a current governor has had this ability to set the agenda, to get a lot of stuff done. he's going to use that to his va advantage as much as possible. >> thank you so much. sara. >> you want to be happy, you want to feel good, feel a little happiness on the news? it's one of the tv shows schitt's creek that helps defind the 2010s. ahead, we speak with two of the actresses who made schitt's creek the sitcom on the pandemic. that's ahead. car vending machines and buying a car 100 percent online now we've created a brand new way for you to sell your car whetheher it's a year old, or a few years old we want to buy your car so go to carvana enter your license plate answer a few questions

i do think that the world was kind of wanting kind comedy that there wasn't that before. it was really at least from my perspective the first of its kind to be funny, but not sacrifices human for its rt heart. it was just genuine, but really funny. >> so what did you think it was about the show that just connected with so many people? >> i think that's exactly it. it's humor and it's warmth and it's intelligence. like elm said, it came at a very specific time where people were looking for that. and i think especially during the pandemic, which is when a lot of people seemed to discover the show, it was a time when we were all hunkered down and needing good. uh-uh think especially during

quarantine, everybody was with their family that they maybe didn't want to be with or alone, so it was a lot of people's chosen family during that time. >> did you ever either of you go and watch it yourself? because we're standing back and we used it as almost like a blanket because it made you laugh. and it gave you heart. did yo go back and watch? it's hard to watch things. >> it was especially hard to watch it because most people don't know it was over. we were done when it got popular. so we were just depressed. it made us sad. >> so you made us ep happy. >> we paid the ultimate sacrifice. >> i found it so uh-uh nice to be able to see my friends i would put it on because i missed these guys so much. it was a way for me to be in touch with them and be altogether without actually

being together. >> so you sound like it's over. is it necessarily over? >> we don't want it to be over. >> who do we need to call to make this happen again? >> our dad. >> the family trust. >> i would be surprised if we didn't do something else together. we know we're not going to do the show again, but we lake each other too much to not do maybe a christmas thing. your dad is really kcute. >> somewhere down the line, something is going to happen. we all love each other too much and we're decesperate to work together again. so to get that group back together is something that everybody is really wanting. but i don't know if it's any
