and this seems to be one of them to say, you know, i'm dianne feinstein. she is a groundbreaking woman in politics and she has really resisted the idea she needs to step aside. it is true that many men who came before her who had proceed fund illnesses and incapacities served in the senate and nobody asked any questions about the fact they were often gone, they often seemed like they didn't know where they were, their staff were steering them around. times have changed. it doesn't mean that the questions aren't and the pressure is misplaced but it makes it more difficult for the senator to accept. >> another one of the big issues i think that will be front and center next week. you have the meeting on the debt ceiling, the question on whether senator feinstein returns. you have more. a big woke eek ahead of us. stay with us, cnn news central starts right now.

♪ ♪ red hot jobs report. the u.s. economy adding more than a quarter million jobs as the jobless rate ticked down. the fed's inflation fight just got more complicated. a dire threat to moscow's war machine. the head of wagner, the mercenary group deployed in the war against ukraine by the tens of thousands, says he could pull out his forces. this is only the latest potential challenge for the kremlin as russia braces for an upcoming counteroffensive by ukraine it is hoped will end the war once and for all. a ceremony fit for a king. the uk preparing for the royal coronation of king charles iii. we are following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn "news central." ♪ ♪ recession fears did not stop
10:02 am
the u.s. job market from booming in april. analysts were expecting 180,000 new jobs. employers came in much hotter, creating 253,000, and the dao is loving it but these robust numbers could complicate the fed's efforts to rein in inflation. minutes ago however president biden touting the numbers. >> unemployment rate is at 3.4%, which is the lowest in 50 years. black employment has hit a record low, and the really good news is working age americans are participate in the labor force in the highest rate in 15 years. not just since the pandemic, in 15 years. the working age women are participating at the highest rate in 75 years. >> cnn business correspondent rahel solomon is joining us now to break it down. rahel, we just heard from the president. what are you seeing in all of
10:03 am
these number? >> jessica, it looks like summer came early this year, at least according to this jobs report. as you pointed out, 253,000 jobs added in the month of april, hotter than economists were expecting. we did get revisions for the prior two months we can show you here. march was revised lower, february was revised low he. in terms of unemployment falling to 3.5%, tying a 50-year low. we have been in this range with unemployment about 3.4 to 3.7 since march of 2022. as the president said we saw more people coming off the sidelines. that was good news, a lot driven by women, a lot driven by women of color so it was good to see. in terms of where we saw the largest job gains, professional and business services, strong demand for accountants. health care adding 40,000 jobs, a strong demand for nursing care facilities, that sort of thing, also leisure and hospitality adding 31,000. important to point out however with leisure and hospitality,
10:04 am
jessica, this industry is still not where it was before the pandemic. they're still down about 400,000 jobs. so in many ways they are still catching up. here is the caveat. the jobs report is considered more of a lagging indicator. this is not necessarily where you would see the first signs of trouble. i spoke a short time ago to julia pollock, the chief economist of zip recruiter. here is what she told me. she said, the issue, of course, is that this -- this being the jobs report -- is not necessarily where the risks show up first. things can turn on the dime in the financial sector very quickly. we've seen with sbv how quickly things can deteriorate when people smell a rat. as i said, summer came early this year as things heat back up. >> no kidding. we saw, julia, there talking about svb, we did see that shares of regional banks rebounded a bit today after a big sell-off yesterday. is that turmoil contained? what is the outlook there?
10:05 am
>> it is hard to say it is contained, especially when you have seen so much volatility. the regional banks have been up, they've been down. today they're taking part in the larger broader market rally, but hard to say for sure it is contained. here is what is really concerns about this, jessica, the stress with the banks could undo all of the strength we see in other parts of the economy. earlier this week i spoke with a chief economist at bank of america and i said, look, with inflation being what it is, with interest rates being what it is, with the debt ceiling showdown being what it is and i could go on, what concerns you most moving forward. he said, the banking stress. that's the concern there. >> oh, wow. something to keep in mind. rahel solomon for us. thanks so much. today a top kremlin official warned russia and the u.s. are on the verge of an open, armed conflict, his words while claiming that the u.s. wants to destroy sovereign russia. but as moscow ramps up his rhetoric seriously this week there's a growing rift emerging inside the russian war effort. the head of the wagner group,
10:06 am
the head of the private company leading the fight in bakhmut, he has been criticizing the kremlin for failing to give enough supplies and ammunition. he is now threatening to pull out of the battle entirely. >> translator: i am officially informing the defense minister, chief of the general staff and the supreme commander in chief that my guys will not be taking useless, unjustified losses in bakhmut without ammunition. so on may 10th, 2023 we are pulling out of bakhmut. we have only two kilometers left to capture out of 45. >> now, if true, this would certainly be a big deal. wagner is not just a loose band of freelancers. they're hardened mercenaries with a global reach. in december of last year national security council spokesperson john kirby estimated they had close to 50,000 fighters deployed in ukraine alone, a majority of them convicts freed from prison
10:07 am
in order to fight. the figure head of the wagner group we just heard from, so close to the kremlin he has been known as putin's chef. he said he founded wagner in 2014 and cnn has tracked wagner mercenary movements in the central african republic, sudan, mozambique and syria. they've been accused of some of the worst human rights abuses in several of these countries and for that reason the u.s. treasury department designated the group as a trans national criminal organization in january of this year. cnn's nic robertson is in ukraine tracking this. nic, it is not first time we have seen him complain about his supplies on the front line, but to threaten to pull out entirely, i wonder, do ukrainian commanders take that let seriously? >> they provide their own interpretation on it and they can see perhaps this is becoming the only reality leftover because they say if russia doesn't fix the ammunition
10:08 am
supply problem and he continues to lose 100 troops a day, which is what is happening, they say that that's actually going to potentially destroy wagner. so, therefore, he has no other option if he doesn't get extra ammunition to pull out or face wagner having catastrophic losses. it is interesting when you listen to what he went on to say, was he said, you know, we'll pull out, we'll go away, we'll lick our wounds, and we'll be there when the russian nation needs us. so i think part of this is bluff, but part of it is also perhaps political positioning. i think it is very significant as well that just today he announced he was hiring russia's former deputy defense minister who was only pushed out of his job last week as one of his deputies at wagner. so this is very significant that it clearly seems to indicate that there are highly placed defense officials within the
10:09 am
kremlin who actually are in his favor and he is specifically calling out the defense chief, the army chief of staff. so there are clearly some fundamental fissures that he is trying to exploit for whatever reason, exploit because putin wants him to, because putin wants to have full guys like the defense minister sergei shogoi. what is clear is that it gives a boost to ukrainian morale because they know the russians are hurting and fighting internally. >> as you know, listen, it is an open secret that ukraine is preparing for a major counteroffensive in the east, but they've also been suffering enormously in bakhmut, losing forces by the day in similar
10:10 am
numbers to the russians. when you speak to commanders in ukraine, what are their hopes for this counteroffensive? >> their hopes are they can get momentum and they can do it and they can smash through. you know, when you come here as a journalist, jim, and you have been here as well, you know that part of the journalistic credentials you get here, there are various caveats and articles. article 72 i think it is has a whole list of things that as a reporter at a time like this when there's about to be a counteroffensive, things that you can't report, things thaw might see when you are traveling around. we are here and we're traveling around and we're seeing things and we're talking to commanders, and i can tell you that those commanders have a level of confidence, although they're frustrated in some areas about -- about some aspects of it. but they're confident, they are confident. >> and they've been underestimated before we know. nic robertson, regardless, a tough fight to come.
10:11 am
nic in eastern ukraine for us. >> a lot of threads to pull on from eastern europe, jim. to help get perspective we have a member of the house intelligence committee, democratic congressman josh gottheimer of new jersey. congressman, we are grateful to have you. thanks for sharing part of your afternoon. i want to ask you about a number of things. of course, let's take a step back and talk about the drone strike over the kremlin a few days ago. russia claiming the united states is behind that, the united states denying that. do you have any sense of what led to this explosion over the kremlin? >> no, i'm actually getting an intelligence briefing before the committee on monday. what we know often though is in cases like this russia is often not a truth teller about what happened. so i'm eager to get the facts. i think the bigger issue -- and you were just discussing this a minute ago -- is actually the volatility going on right now in russia with putin, with wagner and how much of a challenge it is for him given how much he
10:12 am
depends on them. it is a huge boost to ukraine. it is obviously -- continues to be a very tough conflict, you know, but i think this would be a huge setback to russia. >> well, i'm curious about that because obviously bakhmut has been a place where russia has invested a lot of blood and munitions and focus, and if he backs out what does it tell you about the broader conflict and his ongoing dispute with the russian ministry of defense? >> listen, you know, i'm not inside there but you can tell from what has just been reported -- and overall what we have seen is that putin continues to face a lot of challenges on a lot of fronts and many more setbacks than he expected. this was supposed to be something that he thought he would just run over ukraine in a david-and-goliath effort. the bottom line is that the fight back from the ukrainian
10:13 am
people has been heroic. every time putin thinks he has something locked up he gets a serious fightback from the ukrainians and from the allies who are in lock step behind ukraine. i think this just has not gone the way putin wanted it to and this would be just another huge setback against heroic forces. >> congressman, i do want to ask you about a reported setback on the ukrainian side. there's indications -- there are indications that some of the himars system, the high mobility rockets the u.s. provided ukraine, that russians have been able to essentially hack the gps systems using electrical jammers. the u.s. is still committed to sending about another 20 or so to ukraine. is that something that at this point should be reconsidered? that would double the number that ukraine has right now. >> now, i think it is the right equipment and i think we need to keep that support. as you just pointed out i think another 20 more are on the way. these are key critical systems. i think they need certain software updates to respond to
10:14 am
russia's latest antics on jamming. that will be addressed but these systems are critical. i think we need to keep them moving and our support moving behind ukraine. i think that will be addressed to counter what russia is doing, and these munitions are critical important and have been since the beginning. >> congressman, another question on the ominous words from a top russian official saying that the united states and russia are on the verge of open conflict. what did you think? >> i mean, you know, what do i think? i think that we've been consistent with our allies in standing up to the egregious behavior of the russians from day one here and their, you know, heinous attack on the ukrainian people. so i think we've made it very clear from the beginning with our allies that we will stand up to their atrocities and that's what we're doing by being
10:15 am
supportive of the ukrainian people, as many of our allies have been, and we'll continue being supportive. you have heard that by the way from democrats and republicans in the united states, that we will stand by our allies and stand by with nato, stand by the ukrainian people, and make it very clear that this is -- what russia has done, what they're attempting to do is unacceptable. >> congressman, we appreciate your perspective. we hope to hear from you after that briefing about the drones. maybe you will provide us some information. >> thanks so much. i i'll look forward to being back. >> thank you so much, congressman josh gottheimer of new jersey. thank you. jim. the coronation is on. how the palace is preparing for king charles' big day. we will be live in london. plus, chilling video showing bryan kohberger interacting with an officer just weeks before the gruesome stabbings. and a new and urgent warning for our ocean. scientists say water temperatures are off the charts

to us, it's personal. right now, a royal reception is underway in london. the british royal family hosting overseas guests ahead of tomorrow's official crowning of king charles iii. dignitaries from around the world including first lady jill biden are there for those ceremonies. of course, it has been 70 years since the uk witnessed a coronation when charles' mother elizabeth was crowned queen. today he met and shook hands with some of the british public, thanking them for attending his big name, which is now just 17 hours away. thousands are expected to attend the events outside of buckingham palace and some are already staking out their spots along the parade route. cnn's selma abdul aziz is live in london. selma, the pomp and circumstance we will see tomorrow is probably unlike any we have seen in some
10:21 am
70 years. >> reporter: the joy, the atmosphere of happiness, you can just feel it all along this mall. you can see these tents. everyone camped out, just hoping to get a glimpse of tomorrow's big, big event. i want to introduce you to i think the cutest family on the mall. all of these little ones, cousins, sisters, they're all here today. why did you come out? why are you here? >> to watch the king's coronation. >> reporter: to watch the king's coronation. lacie, i'm going to ask you because you are the eldest, what does it mean to be here with your whole family and see this day? >> it feels really special just to be here with my family at such a special moment which could be like once in a lifetime. >> reporter: and you all are going to camp out tonight. dan, i know you are one of the parents. how do you feel about camping out with this many little ones. >> crazy! it is all a bit of fun. >> reporter: it is all a bit of fun. i'm going to ask for one last thing. could everybody turn around and
10:22 am
show me the back of your tee shirt. there you go, the whole team ready for the big day. i mean this is such a family-like atmosphere. everyone knows it is once in a lifetime. they want their kids to be a part of it, jessica. >> selma, i think they're making what they call core memories as a family there. they're going to remember that for years and years to come. now, it looks like you are along the parade route. is that where you are seeing most of the people camping out? are they kind of spread out across the city and what are they looking forward to the most? >> reporter: so actually if you just walk along with me, like all down this way, just keep following me here, you can just see these little tents everywhere. it is all down this mall. again, this is the mall, so this is the route that connects buckingham palace. down here on the other end is trafalgar square. earlier today king charles gave a glimpse when he was able to come out at the top of the mall and shake hands with people, thank them for taking the time, the energy to camp out tonight.
10:23 am
everyone is hoping not just to get that glimpse of the procession but also that balcony moment, jessica. >> oh, yeah. that's always kind of the indelible moment from these festivities. selma abdul aziz in london for us. thanks so much. i want to bring in our cnn royal correspondent sally bided smith. walk us through as someone who has covered this family, walk us through the importance not only for prince charles as an individual but for the royal family as a whole and what it means going forward in this modern age. >> well, it is a formal affirmation. obviously a lot of people don't believe that a monarch becomes truly a monarch until he or she is anointed, makes the sacred oath and then is crowned. even though he became king the moment his mother died, it is
10:24 am
really his -- this coronation is the sort of the apotheosis of who he is and what he means not only to current -- to britain right now but also in the long span of 1,000 years. this is an ancient ritual with very specific emblems and regalia and vestments. at the same time he has i think in a very imaginative way adapted it where he could to the 21st century, to make it reflect britain as a multi-cultural, multi-ethnic, multi-phased country. that will be very represented tomorrow. >> and it is interesting, because obviously he is his mother's son and yet you've written extensively about prince charles, his upbringing, who he is. >> yes. >> he is a very different man
10:25 am
that a lot of people in his family, and certainly his mother and father who came before him. >> yes, he is. i would say fundamentally he has always been a sort of on one hand rather insecure. i think he has gotten over that. he was very shy when he was young, but he has always had a kind of questing intelligence, and particularly when it comes to spittritual matters. he has wanted to make a difference because he knew he would have to wait quite a while. he didn't reckon on 70 years but he knew he would have to do something meaningful, and he has. his legacy as the prince of wales is very extensive and he has had a profound impact on all levels of british society. there were people who were sort of worried that because his mother had such a serenity about her and such a kind of intrinsically reassuring
10:26 am
presence that maybe he couldn't measure up to that, but i believe since he became king back in september he has shown us that he has that same ability to bind people together. it is something that has meant a lot to him for years. he has always wanted to heal rifts, whether it is between religions, whether it is between cultures, and i think the reflection of that impulse will be what we really felt tomorrow. >> wow. it is something to see somebody kind of meet their destiny, meet their moment in what many would consider to be their third act of life. sally bed el smith, thank you for your insight. >> you're welcome. >> we appreciate it. don't forget, you can celebrate the coronation of king charles iii with cnn. you can watch history in the making inside westminster abbey and along the procession. our coverage starts tomorrow morning at 5:00 a.m. right here on cmn. boris. coming up, newly released

ammunition. jim. cnn has obtained police video related to the man charged in the killing of four idaho college students. there they are. the suspect, bryan kohberger, is seen in the video talking his way out of a traffic ticket one month before the gruesome stabbings. police have released other video and documents related to the suspect. cnn's jean caceres has been pouring through them. i wonder, what are the most significant findings from the videos and documents? >> reporter: it is 166 pages and there are things we had not known before. first of all, when they executed the searches at bryan kohberger's apartment in pullman, washington, they tested over 60 reddish brown stains in that apartment, presumptive blood testing. this is preliminary testing. they actually found two stains that tested positive preliminarily for blood, and one was a reddish brown stain on an uncased pillow -- in other words
10:34 am
a pillow without a pillowcase -- and then a brown, irregular drip found on a mattress cover. those stains were collected and then taken to the idaho state crime lab for further testing. we don't know the results of that. they also said that when they were searching that apartment that it was very sparse. it was as though it was empty of belongings. there wasn't a shower curtain in the bathroom, nothing was in any trash can, but they did collect what was there. also of note, in january the defense team asked two times to go to that apartment with law enforcement. kohberger had given them authority to go in those two times, and they collected things -- they did, the defense -- such as a receipt inside a medicine cabinet. there was a box that had papers in it, a flat screen television, a computer, also a small book of miscellaneous papers. so they have their items also which is interesting. >> so none of that definitively
10:35 am
incriminating. tell us about the police interaction, what we see in this police interaction on the video. >> reporter: well, this is the first time we really see bryan kohberger interacting and talking. you can hear him well. he was pulled over in early fall of 2022 for making an illegal left-hand turn. let's listen and watch his demeanor. >> never even occurred to me that that was actually something wrong that i -- >> yeah. >> -- except for the fact that i was blocking the crosswalk. >> yeah. >> which i went through. >> and states -- from laws like pennsylvania might not even have that law, but in washington we do. >> i'm actually just from a very rural area. >> uh-huh. >> so we just don't have crosswalks. >> oh. >> unless i visit an area where there are crosswalks. >> gotcha. >> and that is not very frequent. >> yeah. >> i do apologize if i was asking you too many questions about the law. >> uh-huh. >> i wasn't trying to like -- >> no, not at all. i understand you're not from

10:37 am
was training dropped dead. they said given the unexplained sudden death we have reasonable concerns about his horses and decided to suspend him indefinitely until details are analyzed and understood. nick, how is the trainer responding to all of this. >> reporter: boris, he is not happy. he says he is being made a scapegoat for the deaths of these four horses and he points out, quite rightly, that his two horses that dropped dead suddenly, still nobody knows exactly why or how they died. so he says that he's being suspended really just to kind of salve the image of churchill downs. here is how he and another trainer reacted not long after the horses died. >> it's -- it, yeah, i'm shattered basically, you know what i mean? because i know it can't happen -- like it is mind boggling. like the odds of it happening
10:38 am
twice is a trillion. i run almost 4,000 horses and it never happened like that. so it doesn't -- it doesn't make sense. >> it is not the surface. >> i think we are just running into a bad streak here. >> reporter: so safi joseph was supposed to have rauner in derby itself. no more, that horse has been scratched. he is suspended while authorities try to figure out what happened. you know, there will be necropsies on the dead horses but they're not always conclusive. we may never actually know why these horses died, but the sad reality, horses do die at racetracks. boris. >> and, nick, what does this mean for the derby moving forward? >> well, listen, the derby and horse racing in general already under a bit of a cloud. you will remember medina spirit that won back in 2021. that horse later failed a drug test and it -- its win was stripped. bob bafford, the very famous

level rise on the coast, more coral bleaching events, reefs that are the cradle of sea life, the way the cod left the coast of maine because it got too warm for them and stronger hurricanes and cyclones as we head into those seasons as well. among the causes, could it be el nino starting early? la nina cooled us off for the last couple of years. here with la nina we were still hitting off-the-chart records. one interesting possible culprit is the shipping industry. in 2020 they changed the fuel mix of these big ocean liners, which means there's less sulfur coming out of the smoke stacks of these ships. that sulfur was reflected enough sunlight it was serving as sort of an accidental sunscreen. it might have been masking more global warming than we were

the maker of a popular weight-loss drug is limiting its supply of doses for new patients. why? massive demand. drugmaker novo nordisk says people filling their first prescription for ra ggovy. soared in popularity as the rate of obesity in the united states continues to rise. as of 2020 that rate was 41.9% for american adults. let's get expertise now from cnn medical correspondent meg terrell. what does this mean for folks who actually need this drug?
10:54 am
>> yeah. novo nordisk making of ragovy is currently supplying maintenance doses for patients already on the drug and really just the lower doses where patients start out on the drug they're limiting supply. in a means new patients coming into their doctor's office trying to get them to prescribe the drug may have difficulty finding it in pharmacies and that's expected to last until at least september. the company is saying it's increasing manufacturing capacity, bringing on a new partner to do that and even going to pause some marketing of this medicine to try not to stimulate too much new demand right now, but says it's serving hundreds of thousands of patients prescribed this drug right now and it just can't keep up with where the prescription trends are going at the moment, boris. >> meg, it's pretty obvious celebrities and others you see online especially have been using this and ozempic in an effort to trim pounds off. what is the company doing to try
