supporters, shunning trump, and his supporters, meaning not giving them some kind of access to the air waves, is putting your thumb on the scale. and instead, i think sunlight, the old line being the greatest disin fen fect ant is the answer, and i also view my role and responsibility as providing you with the information that you need to go make your own decision. not to tell you what that decision ought to be. so you watch. and many of you are horrified by what you saw. okay. vote accordingly. i don't think there was any metastasis of somebody who tuned in and heard him say something, heard her confronted with facts, and then nevertheless now goes on believing what he said, just because they heard it that one night. no, i think it's more complicated than that. put the stot light on everybody. that's the answer to all of this. happy mother's day to all. thank you for watching. see ya.
7:01 am
good morning. it is saturday, may 13th, 2023, of course, that is the year we are in. i'm amara walker. >> thank you for the reminder. sometimes we need it. ikt' victor blackwell in the cnn newsroom. we begin with the escalating violence between israelis and palestinians in gaza. the israeli defense forces, they've launched a series of attacks today. >> the idf attacked islamic jihad sites in the gaza strip, they say. these deadly strikes on palestinian targets have been ongoing since tuesday. >> palestinian officials say at least 33 people have been killed so far including militants and civilians and an israeli medical service says a rocket hit a residential building there this week. one person was killed, five were hurt. cnn's ben wedeman is live in southern israel, near gaza, hi there, ben, what's the latest.
7:02 am
what's going on there on the ground? >> reporter: what we've seen throughout the day here is there have been occasional volleys of rockets being fired out of gaza, and more israeli air strikes. most of them focused against gaza right over there. most of them focused in that area. it is the area which is in the northern part. we understand from reports from inside gaza that several private homes have been struck. no word at this point about any fatalities this day. but the activity has been fairly intense. we've been hearing drones all afternoon. normally, what we've seen is that there's a lull in the mid afternoon, and as the daylight comes to an end, there's another several volleys coming of rockets, coming out of gaza. but as all of that is going on,
7:03 am
there has been violence in the west bank, in the northern city in the west bank, in the refugee camp high which is south of that city. there was an israeli raid that resulted in the death of two men there. according to palestinian medical sources. hamas put out a long statement about that. it's significant in the sense that in this current conflict, israel has focused almost exclusively, in striking targe affiliated with islamic jihad. hamas is by and large stayed out of this fight but it is still very much part of the landscape. of course, hamas is the defacto ruler of, defacto ruler of gaza, but israel seems to be focused, as i said, only on islamic jihad. the theory is hamas becomes involved, the scope of this violence could be much more
7:04 am
intense. >> that is concerning. ben wedeman, thank you. turning now to the southern border where communities there say they're seeing fewer-than-expected migrants trying to enter the u.s. after the end of title 42. and the biden administration is vowing tougher consequences for migrants who try to enter the country illegally. >> but u.s. officials still feel that the situation could deteriorate to a crisis. a federal judge blocked the administration from using a policy that would release migrants from u.s. custody on parole. now, the patrol strategy was designed to alleviate overcrowding at border facilities, ahead of a potential service. >> with tens of thousands of migrants reportedly waiting in northern mexico to cross into the united states, homeland security security secretary mayorkas says his department desperately needs more resources, and he is urging congress to do something about the flawed immigration system. >> the two primary constraints are as follows.
7:05 am
one, a fundamentally broken immigration system. that hasn't been fixed for more than two decades. and we need congress to act. two, we need congress to provide us with the resources that we need, that we requested, and that we haven't received. >> all right, we are live on both sides of the southern border. cnn is in juarez, mexico, but let's talk with polo sandoval in texas. what's your vantage point from there with a steady stream of migrants? >> reporter: no mistake, friday was less chaotic than what officials had anticipated. one official with the agency says thursday into friday there was no substantial increase in the number of encounters along the southern border, standing along this particular stretch of
7:06 am
the border in el paso, i can tell you there is no evidence with the pictures from friday. it goes to that point that we heard from official, that the surge itself, it actually had been happening days before the lifting of title 42. this certainly will come as some relief for officials on this side of the border that now are tasked with processing the close to 23,000 undocumented people who are still in cbp custody, those who are trying to make that final push toward the u.s. side of the border, they still have to have the hearing and that's why the asylum officers will be hearing the cases all weekend long. i want to hear you from el paso's mayor as he brought us up to speed yesterday on where things stand. >> on monday, we saw about 3,000 people there. and the border patrol with the assistance of a lot of agencies went in and handed out handouts, to be able to help them register and get processed so they could go into the processing centers and be able to go on to, whether it's shelter, immigration centers, or anything like that,
7:07 am
but the numbers have changed. >> reporter: so will that change be temporary? i think that's yet to be seen. so i think what we will also see in the days ahead at least part of the focus shifts to some of these, in the interior, like denver, chicago, washington, d.c., new york city, where i've been covering this for the last year, where many of the people that crossed here, eventually, they don't stay here. they want to head further north, and that's where major american cities are now left wondering what will happen to the number of asylum seekers that have ended up in their communities as well. and that's why you are seeing, in fact, just recently, a team of democrats, turning to the white house, asking for some sort of humanitarian relief that will give them work authorizations because though we may see some relief on the border, the numbers in the cities that we just mentioned, those will continue to increase. >> the new york city mayor had planned to put some migrants on buses and send them outside of new york city, as well. polo sandoval in texas, thank you. let's go across the border from el paso, to juarez in
7:08 am
mexico where cnn's gustavo valdez is joining us. what are you seeing there. >> reporter: what we're seeing is something we did not expect. and that is an empty border. even the national guardsmen that were here all week long, are long gone. there are no state troopers. there's no border patrol. the only sign that something happened here are those two big dumpsters where the migrants were told to drop everything they were carrying as they were being processed into the united states. yesterday, we saw very few, a very small number of migrants trying to get in, unsuccessful, because the national guard men were telling them not to risk it. they said that they would be arrested and they would be deported quickly. so we saw a lot of fear on those last migrants that made it to this point. however, mexican authorities are saying that now they are
7:09 am
concerned that as more migrants are being deported, and many of them might end up in mexico, they are going to see another surge on this side, because there are also migrants coming from central america, trying to get into the united states. and the question is, what are they going to do next? they were turning themselves in at points like this, and will they now try to find other places, avoid the border patrol, and get into the united states in a more difficult situation? that is the next challenge for the mexican authorities, and perhaps for american cities. >> gustavo valdes, and polo sandoval, thank you both for your reporting on the border. let's discuss this more. what we're seeing is really an unfolding humanitarian crisis at the southern border. let's talk with domingo garcia with that, the president of the nation's oldest latino civil rights group, the league of
7:10 am
united latin american citizens. thanks for joining us. what do you make of what we're seeing or not seeing at the border? do you expect waves of migrants to come over the next few months now that you have this pandemic-era policy, title 42, which allowed for the quick removal or deportation of migrants, you know, with, because of the pandemic, that has been lifted as of thursday night, why aren't we seeing a surge? >> i think the last two years, we had a fairly steady stream of refugees coming from venezuela, nicaragua, cuba and haiti, who are the main countries, because of the sanctions the u.s. has against the dictators of those country, but the surge, what we've heard from desantis and trump, and abbott, there was an invasion, there is no invasion, these are refugees looking for asylum in the united states and i think that president biden, secretary mayorkas did a great job in providing an orderly process to allow them to legally
7:11 am
enter the country so we don't have illegal entry into the country which is what many people expected, and i think that's what they've done, kudos. and they have provided funding for the border cities like el paso, brownsville to have the funding to process these people and give them a transport, to get them out of the border as quickly as possible. >> so your organization has been calling on president biden for more federal funding to support these nonprofits. you know, helping to handle the surge of migrants at the border. and you know, we've been hearing anecdotally from the many people we have been interviewing that they're running out of shelter space, running out of transportation. do you feel like your calls are being answered? >> one of my favorite political quotes is matthew, i was hungry, and you gave me food, and i was thirsty and you gave me drink and i was a stranger and you welcomed me and that's what the nonprofit, the catholic charities and other organizations are doing. we are providing those with nothing. they come with everything on their backs and these are christian families. children, many of them, but we don't have the resources, when you're dealing with literally
7:12 am
four or 5,000 people a day. so we do need additional funding from the federal government. it is not where i think president biden and congress, i think they need to come up with bipartisan, immigration reform, to fix the broken system so due see the humanitarian crisis that we're seeing now. and volunteers like ourselves have to step up and help these people. >> you know, what would be sensible, comprehensive, immigration reform, especially knowing, you know, that the democrats have controlled both chambers of congress, and they failed to pass any immigration reform. what would, how do you think both sides would be able to find common ground, especially years after trump being in the office, we saw, you know, xenophobia rising? >> well, you know, it's kpri -- interesting, we haven't him gration reform since 1986 when president ronald reagan signed an immigration bill with speaker
7:13 am
tip o'neil a democrat. now the reagan and bush era have been replaced by xenophobia, scapegoating, using immigrants to score points, and until reasonable heads come together -- >> okay, what a shame. it looks like we lost domingo there, but appreciate that conversation. he's the president of the league of united latin americans. thank you, domingo garcia. there are new reports of explosions in eastern ukraine this morning in any area occupied by russian forces. our team is live in eastern ukraine. as ukrainian troops are working to recapture the territory taken by the russians. an idaho convicted a mother in the murder of her children, guilty on all charges, the evidence they considered and what the family had to say after the verdict. to develop their tastiest bread yet. this truruly makes the subway series a dream team. you know aboutut that chuck. yeah, i was the bread of that teteam too. try the subway series menu. their tastiest refefresh yet.

as ukraine brace for a counser offensive in the summer, germany has just announced it will be sending $3 million in military hardware to ukraine and that includes 30 tanks and over 200 reconnaissance drones. >> president zelenskyy is working on strengthening ties with italy and today he will meet with the pope and his italian counterpart. early this morning, more explosions were heard in the russian occupied center of luhansk. witnesses say the windows were blown out of many homes a heavy plume of smoke was seen over the city. >> it comes one day after the city's industrial zone was struck by two missiles, six children were injured in that attack. sam kiley is joining us now from southeastern ukraine. sam, some russian bloggers have said these missiles were provided by the u.k. is there any evidence to back up those claims? >> reporter: the short answer is no, at least not yet. there is also reports that those missiles were fired from
7:19 am
aircraft over kramortskw sy is close in aviation terms, and that would be kind of a grotesque waste of the capabilities of the storm shadow cruise missiles. that, the united kingdom has given to ukraine intended for use, over 300 miles or so, distance, they are designed to fly very low and detect radar detection and not to be dropped effectively as a guided bomb. the ukrainians also have their own manufactured, long distance missiles. their own cruise missiles indeed. and our capabilities. it is not the only type of ordnance that can be used against luhansk. what is significant there, everybody got the word of the authorities there that those children were injured, is that the industrial zone was hit, and now we've had further attacks overnight. and i think with these, what we will really be seeing, as part of the shaping operations ahead,
7:20 am
of what president zelenskyy says is a coming offensive, but one that his troops are not quite yet ready to prosecute. but clearly, those extra armaments coming in from germany will be a significant addition if not to this offensive directly then to reinforcements as the offensive gets under way. amara? >> sam kiley, thank you. u.s. officials tell cnn russia tried to destroy a u.s.-made patriot air defense system in ukraine with the hypersonic missile. >> the attack failed. and ukrainians instead intercepted the missile using the patriot system. cnn's oren liebermann has details for us. >> reporter: it was only last week that we learned that the first known successful use of the patriot missile battery by ukraine to intercept the incoming russian missile, in this case, it was a killjoy missile which ukraine first claimed, it was then confirmed by the pentagon. the missile is a hypersonic missile, essentially an air launched ballistic missile, one
7:21 am
of the most advanced and powerful systems we've seen russia use in its war in ukraine. and crucially, we've seen it used for the first time during this war. well, now, we've learned that what russia was targeting when it fired this missile, and it turned out according to two u.s. officials that russia was targeting the patriot missile itself to try to take out one of the most potent and long-range air defense capabilities that ukraine has, and this just weeks after it arrived in country. when the u.s. first announced they were sending in patriots back in december, it was the kremlin's spokesperson dmitry peskov saying that russia would target them and we have seen them carry out the promise but it was a failed attempt, and the patriot missiles were able to detect it, long range radar, showing the potency and detecting the missile and multiple missiles from the patriot system were fired, according to the two officials, to intercept the incoming missile, to protect the patriot system, and to keep it online. the ukrainians were able to learn the patriot missile
7:22 am
battery, a complex long-range air defense system, much faster than anticipated, only several months, three or four months, instead of a year, to get it into the country quickly, and get it up and online. how is it that russia was able to find the system? the patriot uses a very powerful radar to detect threats at a long range. and just as the u.s. or ukraine can detect russian radar, russia can detect western radars, and try to target them. once they have a general sense of where it is, because they can pick up on that radar emission, they can use satellite imagery or other signals and intelligence ways to try to zero in on than that and try to target it, which is what they tried to do with the powerful kiljoy missile, and ukrainian effect level able to use are the patriot missile system to shoot down the missile before it is able to hit the target, to hit the patriot battery and tick it offline. it would be a devastating blow because it is one of more powerful and advanced and long range air defense systems ukraine has. >> all right, oren, thank you.

7:28 am
almost motionly after one guilty verdict after another was founs, found guilty on all murder conspiracy and grand theft charges. >> unanimous verdict. >> the jury's decision closes the book on the month long trial on the idaho mother, the prosecutors say it was motivated by money, power, and sex, to kill her two children, and conspire to kill her husband's wife, at the time, and while she decided not to testify, her lawyers argue she was innocent. >> just tell people what is happening. there are people around the country praying for your children. >> but it involved a tangled web of family deaths, and doomsday religious beliefs began in september of 2019 when two of vallow daybell's children from a previous marriage, the 16-year-old and 7-year-old joshua, or jj, last seen. shortly afterwards, she married chad, whose wife died in her sleep just weeks before chad and
7:29 am
lori's wedding, in hawaii. when authorities conducted a welfare check on jj, in november of 2019, police say vallow daybell told them her son was with a friend in arizona. they returned the next day, with a search warrant. only to find the couple had vanished. >> just tell us where your kids are. >> the couple was located in hawaii, in january of 2020. but jj and tyree's where-abouts remained a mystery. after a month-long search, law enforcement located the remains of the children at chad daybell's property in southeast idaho. >> chad daybell, who resides at that residence, has also been taken into custody. >> daybell and vallow daybell were ultimately indicted for murder in may of 2021. chad daybell's trial is being held separately. he's pleaded not guilty. the couple's apocalyptic religious world view was a focus throughout the trial.
7:30 am
prosecutors say they believed they were religious figures who used the system of rating people as light or dark. >> i can't get in touch with my kids. >> before the children went missing, vallow daybell's estranged husband charles told police about her beliefs. >> she thinks she's a resurrected -- a god. >> and he filed for divorce but prosecutors say the brother shot and killed charles in july of 2019, and facing a conspiracy to commit murder charge in arizona connection with that killing. he died in 2019. hearing the verdict was emotional for many who followed this tragic case. but perhaps none more so than family. >> jj, i love you. >> the judge said sentencing
7:31 am
would happen in three months and she could face life in prison. >> grandfather spoke out after the verdict saying he will be there at the sentencing to ask lori and for what? and the defense did not comment after the verdict but the prosecution put out a statement saying they're pleased with this verdict. they also said they couldn't comment on the case because chad daybell still hasn't been tried. they did though express their commitment to justice for all of these victims. >> thank you. a new york man who held a homeless street performer in a fatal chokehold is now out on bail. daniel penny surrendered to police on friday morning. 24 years old, former marine, he is charged with second degree manslaughter, in the death of jordan neely earlier this month. >> cnn's mark morales joins us live now from new york with the very latest. mark, you were in court. take us through what happened.
7:32 am
>> reporter: well, he appeared very calm when he walked in, his hands were cuffed behind his back, and of course, prosecutors read the details of this case, and it's important here, because these are significant developments in this case, that really struck a nerve in the city. investigators have been pouring over video of the account, 911 calls, eyewitness interviews, and that's how we've gotten here today. and as we mentioned, penny facing second degree manslaughter charges, in court, prosecutors, they read the details they had in the case, and they said that jordan neely had gotten on the subway, was making threats, scaring passengers, and that's when penny came up from behind him, and put him in that chokehold. now, mr. penny did not enter a plea, that comes later, later on, in the process, and right now, he was just there, to face the charges, and to give the details of his release, 100,000 dollars bond, and he does have to give up his passport, and if
7:33 am
he wants to leave new york state at any point, he does have to get permission from the courts. >> and i know the neely's family attorney doesn't think this enough. what else did they say? >> they spoke after the hearing, and they were pretty forceful. the point they wanted to make was that jordan neely did not have to die. his lawyer spoke afterwards, he said because he acted with indifference, he is thinking about penny, he didn't care about jordan, he cared about himself, and we can't let that stand. that's not who we are. that's not who we want to be. >> mark morales in new york for us this morning, thank you so much. negotiations continue this weekend, on a plan to keep america from defaulting on its debt. how that could impact you. a bump . okay, let's see. master of the rentalsphere. wow!w! oh, is it too mumuch? apartments.com the plplace to find a place. ♪

7:41 am
these negotiations just began in earnest this past week. normally a dealing like this takes months to come together, and the reality is they don't have months. they have less than 20 days until june 1st. and early june is the deadline that the treasury department has set for when the government could default on its debt. now the congressional budget office released a report backing up the treasury department's time line saying a default is likely within the first two weeks of june, and this has a lot of leaders on both ends of pennsylvania avenue really worried about what's going to happen here, but i am told, from people who have been involved in these negotiations that they have made some modest progress, they begin to pinpoint some policy areas to find an agreement on, those include resending unspent covid relief funds, permitting reform, and spending cuts which is something that the white house really hasn't wanted to budge on but increasingly people within the west wing think that they may have to cave on that. we also heard from president
7:42 am
biden just this morning, he issued a tweet warning of the economic calamity of not passing the deal. he wrote default would erase millions of jobs, trigger a recession, and hit retirement accounts, and increase borrowing costs. he also added that this is not an option. now, we're going to see these negotiations continue, over the weekend, and into next week, but really, they need to have a deal in hand in the next few days. remember, congress moves very slowly. they still need to draft a bill once a deal is reached and they need to sell it do both chambers of congress, and then try to get enough support to pass it, and that is a huge obstacle that they face. but there is still hope that they can get a deal done on time, to avoid the first-ever government default. >> as we laid out earlier, there is so much at stake. thank you. well, twitter is getting a new ceo. months after current chief elon musk promised to step down. >> musk tweeted his replacement will be linda, the former head of advertising for nbc

universal, cnn's john sullivan has been following this for us. more than the former title, what do we know with yaccorino. >> she is an advertising executive up until now has been working at nbc universal, the chairman of global advertising and partnerships. according to nbc, she oversaw a team of 2,000 people globally. that remarkably is larger than twit terself, which according to elon musk now is only around 1500 employees, and that's down around 80% from what elon musk took over the company. >> we know it has been a tumultuous time at twitter a lot of advertisers dropping off as well. is there an expectation that we could see a change in direction at the company? >> well, in some ways, this is twitter looking backwards, because you know, we don't know too much about the financials now, because twitter is a private company, but before elon musk took it over, around 90% of twitter's revenue came from
7:44 am
advertising. and when elon musk took it over, we saw this exodus of advertisers from twitter and elon musk's solution to that was to double down on twitter's subscription service. well, that subscription service has reportedly been a dud. so the hiring of yaccorino, an advertising executive, is an acknowledgment from twitter and elon musk that advertising is core to twitter's business. >> jon sarlin, we will be watching this with you. thank you very much. still ahead, stores like nordstrom, starbucks, whole foods are closing in big cities and pointing to crime as a reason for their exits, and it is quite more complicated than that, next. i'm looking for someone who loveves art deco elegance, good times, and unexpecteded flavors. someone who likes it hot but knows how to keep ththeir cool. a white-sand beach where you can see the sunrise? way better than whatever you were going to binge-watch this weekend.

7:50 am
women at high risk of getting breast cancer, those women should still keep in contact with their doctors, for what's best for them. but for all of us, for all women, it's important to discuss with our doctors, our family history of cancer. whether you have dense breasts. ask for a breast exam at your next appointment and talk to your doctors about when to start screening for you, based on your own risk factors and how often. back to you. >> thank you. well, there's been a lot of focus on crime, pushing out retailers from big cities. just two weeks ago, nordstrom announced it is closing both of is stores in downton san francisco but it is not just crime in some areas. experts say retail stores are facing a lot of different head winds. >> cnn's nathaniel meyerson joins us now. so what is driving these stores out, beyond some of the crime? >> reporter: right, victor, so it's not just crime pushing
7:51 am
retailers out. it's remote work which has crushed downtowns. fewer people going to office buildings. online shopping has also taken a big toll on these stores. fewer people buying in the stores and more online. and then higher rents, these cities have some of the highest retail rents in the country. san francisco, double the national average. also much higher rents in chicago, new york, and these other cities. and then retailers have overexpanded the past several years. think about cvs. there's a cvs on basically every corner of the country. and it is not just cvs closing stores in cities, they're closing 900 stores around the country. >> so also, we're hearing that the buffet line is crowded again. what is happening there? >> yes, so think back to early in the pandemic, and it just crushed all you can eat buffets, several of them filed for bankruptcy, nobody wanted to share their serving spoons and

7:53 am
to be a concern here, but it is a tremendous amount of lighting, you've got a lot of strong and severe thunderstorms possible today across not only texas but oklahoma, and areas of arkansas, and louisiana, and then yes, also the separate area in the midwest. and just in the last 24 hours, we've already seen some pretty significant rainfall amounts, that del rio, down to laredo area, already picking up several inches, same thing with points along southern texas, and then it's going to rain even more today. and when you start factoring in that cumulative amount, that's why you've got the flood watches in effect, because it is not just rain, yesterday, more rain today, and even additional rain expected tomorrow. and that's going to saturate the ground, but you also have the potential for damaging winds, and especially some hail for a lot of the same areas as we go through multiple rounds of storms today and tomorrow. >> thank you. so 130,000 dollars in your pocket, that is the price tag to eat a one michelin star meal but
