8:00 am
conduct, you know, evasive measures to get away from that and then you have people who are not authorized breaking all of the same laws to keep up including running up and down the sidewalks. they'll look at the videos. they'll look at the red light cameras and they'll say can we find a couple of persistent violators here that we can identify, but it went on for a couple of hours. it happened at night, darkness is a factor in getting those images to be identifiable. it was a real mess. so i'm going to say it's possible, but unlikely that you're going to see a lot of that. >> yeah. >> i think fax moster is back with us. max, what i was wanting to ask as kate williams was talking about how things may have changed in terms of how much of a target they are since charles has become king. have you note -- have you heard anything in is there more concern for -- i mean, not only
8:01 am
for the entire royal family, but for harry and david -- harry and meghan in general in being targets of the paparazzi more so since the coronation? >> no. just to the point that you were talking about just there. i am told that the pictures were taken from security a long -- along with other evidence with the whole time line and the circumstances that they've been talking about and they're very confident about what they've got and what happened here. in terms of the threat, i mean, the paparazzi is just pictures and story. they are still a huge part of the royal story and they've got their own story that they developed in the u.s., as well. people just want pictures and they lead this very private life. they do tell us when there was a big event like there was last night and the paparazzi do not get the permission to be in the places that we do and they get additional pictures and that's where it all bleeds through. the one security threat that has
8:02 am
emerged since he left was in his book where he talked about killing taliban in afghanistan and he named the number and that was seen as something -- the taliban spoke about and how he shouldn't be gloating about that sort of kill and to talk about the trauma that came along with that and that was seen as some in the uk military that may have increased the threat against him and this is completely separate, obviously, it's a terror threat which harry argues is there, as well, generally because he served and that's why he wanted more security, as well, when he was back in the uk. in the uk private security don't carry guns and only police carry guns and he needed police security in the uk and the government, and what he wants in the u.s. is full security paid
8:03 am
for by the british government and by the police and that's what he's fighting for in the british courts that he's not having any success at this point because they're saying the police can't be, you know, guns for hire for rich people. there say big debate going on about that. i got a bit more information, as well about how the family was staying at a private residence and they compromised the security of their friend's home so harry didn't want to go back there and that's why they ended up sheltering in place. there's a lot more detail coming through and i'm sure we'll hear more from the police now that the story is out, as well. >> and we are getting more information here, talking about how this kind of went down and when they exited the venue in the first place, the paparazzi got pictures of them and it's posed pictures and it's as many pictures as possible and they sell those and it is interesting to note some of the things we've seen here. running red lights and reversing
8:04 am
down a one-way street. driving while on the phone, driving while photographers are taking photos and blocking moving vehicles. this is according to the spokesperson for harry and meghan. when you see all of that, that is not only dangerous and illegal, but they were in all blacked out cars and you couldn't see faces and identifying them may be impossible, correct? >> that's right. again with the license plates that were covered up on motorcycles and scooters, blacked out cars and things like that, i guess the question here for new york is all right. so how would the nypd do this the next time? because this is a lesson learned, right? >> right. and that means you would probably have to have a slightly larger security detail because you're not just dealing with the normal threat. you are dealing with something that is more mayhem and you
8:05 am
would have to have an enforcement element added to that which means traffic division people, maybe a couple of motorcycles, maybe a few scooters so that you are in equal footing with the people who are the offenders here of various laws where you can stop them and then, you know, once you start writing summonses and making arrests, that's a message. this security detail wasn't built for that. it was built if there was a threat to get off the x and get them to safety and deal with the threat. this was a rolling circus. >> it wasn't a normal threat, either. >> no. >> this wasn't someone going after them to hurt them and they were going crazy around them, multiple people, to get pictures. >> do we have kate williams? >> i just heard from issa
8:06 am
soarese of our cnn anchors who harry and meghan have moved to the united states. a lot of the press in britain publicly, they're down on them. you hear negative things being said over there about harry and meghan, however, what this shows is the continued insatiable appetite for coverage, and i imagine largely in the uk of harry and meghan even as some try to turn their backs on them. >> the word insatiable is exactly the right word. what kind of picture were they going to get inside the car? it doesn't seem the most sellable picture and yet there's this huge drama, this terrifying drama that you were just talking about going down the streets and pedestrians in danger and other cars in danger and all of it happening at night just to get pictures of harry and meghan. they are the most valuable, i would say, the most valuable
8:07 am
celebrity picture opportunity for british newspapers at the moment and a lot of this is driven about how max is saying harry is suing the newspapers and they have a privacy invasion instead of a lot of negative stories about it and they are now driven by the fact that there is an agenda for the newspapers about this and harry and meghan have always suffered this negative media coverage. many more women have shut the car door and they are, i think, completely, this is the thing. even though meghan didn't come to the coronation, even charles doesn't want to be one of us, the world is fascinated with harry and the press want pictures of harry and this is what paparazzi are doing to get them and it is so similar to diana, the last thing diana saw
8:08 am
were flashbulbs. some of the paramedics say that she was conscious and the last thing she did see is flashbulbs and for harry to think this is happening again is absolutely terrifying and people want to see harry and meghan. they were thrilled to see them out at this wonderful occasion last night. meghan said in her acceptance speech at the women of vision award, you can be the vision leader of your own life. she can't be in new york without being chased like this and after diana's death we all said something must be done, but things have gotten worse since diana's death and it's not just newspapers for the pictures and it is also social media and unauthorized sites and a lot of us come down to us, the consumers, and we have to ask how is this picture being gained and i don't want to look at this picture and that is in a world
8:09 am
of celebrity news and celebrities are being chased down street and ordinary people being put in danger, as well. >> just to bring everyone up to speed in what we're talking about here. the first and probably most important headline is prince harry and meghan, they are okay, but what happened yesterday which is leading to now all of this is that as they were leaving after they had left an event where meghan had received an award, i'm blanking out, the women of vision awards in new york city, they were chased by paparazzi in such an aggressive fashion that even the nypd was involved in their protective detail and had to kind of take them to the 19th precinct in order to give them a cooldown period and lots of detail coming out, not only from the spokesperson for harry and meghan, but also from sources within nypd of how dangerous a situation this really was and the way harry and meghan's spokesperson describes it is a near-catastrophic car chase. what you're looking at in the
8:10 am
wall is these are the pictures as they were leaving the event and they're getty images. these are the images that we are used to seeing. >> i walked by this last night. at 9:15 last night i walked by, and i didn't see this many camera people so i don't know if i was there before or after, but i saw a small collection of photographers which is unusual on a new york city street. i'm sorry. >> no, glad you pointed it out. i want to bring in selma del aziz. to remind folks about the safety and intrusion of paparazzi in their lives is one of the key reason why harry and meghan decided to really largely pull away from real life and leave london. >> kate, you could argue it is the primary reason why they left london and why they left that extraordinary decisions to leave behind their lives in the uk and
8:11 am
move to the united states. at the time prince harry was very qcritical of the media in the uk accusing it of racial undertones and sexist undertones against meghan markle that his his wife was being treated like his mother and we heard from max foster, the court case and the legal battle to get more security here in the uk and that was an absolute matter of primary concern for the couple and particularly once they had their first child that they be provided with that protection and they simply did not feel that the palace and the royal family was giving that protection to the level that they wanted. they went to the united states really for safety. so this will leave them with the sense that there is no safe place, and again, i have to emphasize how huge that exit was and how much it was criticized by the press here in the uk.
8:12 am
some calling it megzit. that was a racist pinning it on prince harry rather than meghan. she was being treated poorly by the press because of her racial back growth fund. to go to the u.s. in the hopes that this would be a safe haven for them and a safe haven for their family and an opportunity to step outside of the royal family and be masters of their own fate, if you will. still continue to be public figures, but do it on their own terms and still find themselves in this situation where they say they were simply afraid of the possibility of a collision, afraid of the possibility of harm. this is going to shake them to their core. >> max foster, you did a whole look at how the press was treating meghan as opposed to kate. not this kate, obviously.
8:13 am
can you tell us a little bit about that piece and what you learnede learned from it and how that explains what happened and how they made the criticism of the royal family known? >> so there was -- salma was talking about this and it's something that was undeniable in the british tabloid press and it is a lazy narrative as soon as meghan came on to the scene which is why the dueling duchesses and the comparisons began between kate and meghan. kate, the more senior royal and the one that will ultimately be queen always seemed to win that tabloid battle. so then you have a winner and a loser and there were all these comparisons, really and went through them with picture editors and how you have an
8:14 am
event where kate may wear dark nail varnish and she's looking like a princess, and then meghan would go to an event and she'd have dark nail varnish and she's breaking protocol. it became this tabloid narrative that meghan was always breaking protocol and didn't understand the system. that's where a lot of the negative publicity came out of the tabloids and then, of course, you have the racist comments, as well and eventually harry had had enough and he put out a statement saying the way they're treating my wife is unfair and there's justification to that and we are seeing the court cases now how the tabloids, as public figures they had access to senior working royals and they didn't have the same right to privacy as other members of the public and that is ultimately what harry and meghan tried to resolve by leaving their public roles and no longer receiving public money. >> max, sorry to jump -- we'll
8:15 am
continue to following this developing situation. we do need to get over to the white house right now as president biden is talking about the negotiations over the debt ceiling. let's listen in. >> with all four leaders of the congress, it was civil and respectful, and everyone came to the meeting, i think, in good faith. i'm confident that we'll get the agreement on the budget that america will not default, and every leader in the room understands the consequence fess we fail to pay our bills and it would be catastrophic for the american economy and the american people if we didn't pay our bills and i'm confident everyone in the room agreed with the speaker -- from the speaker to the majority leader to the majority leader of the house and the senate -- excuse me, the senate and as well as the democratic leader of the house. we will come together because there is no alternative to do the right thing for the country. we have to move on, and to be
8:16 am
clear, this negotiation is about the outlines of what the budget will look like and not about whether or not we will, in fact, pay our debts. the leaders have all agreed we will not default. every leader has said that, and i am proud of the progress my administration's made. we reduced the deficit in the first two years by $1.7 trillion in the first two years, and i proposed a budget to reduce another $3 trillion over the next decade. that includes more revenue by asking the wealthy and large corporations to pay their fair share and cutting subsidies as exist in the law now to big oil and big pharma. yesterday we all agreed that both the speaker mccarthy and i would designate senior members that we want to negotiate to give our authority to make agreements in detail what we wanted. so we narrowed the group. we narrowed the group to meet and hammer out our differences and we've done that. in fact, they met last night.
8:17 am
they'll be meeting again today and i'll be in constant contact with my team while i'm at the g7 and be in close touch with speaker mccarthy and other leaders, as well. now what i have done in anticipation that we won't get it all done until i get back is i've cut my trip short in order to be for the final ney gosch wr negotiations and sign the deal with the majority leader and i made it clear and i'll say it again, america is not a deadbeat nation. we pay our bills. the nation has never defaulted on its debt and it never will and we will continue these discussions with the congressional leaders in the coming days until we reach an agreement, and i'll have more to say about that on sunday and i'll have a press conference on this issue. as it stands now the intention is to go to the g7, be back here on sunday. hold a press conference and in the meantime, i've spoken to
8:18 am
the -- the australian leader albanese, and i'll be seeing him at the g7 and i will be there, as well, along with the indian prime minister and along with the japanese, as well. so the quad members will be there and we'll get a chance to talk separately at the meeting, but it is unlikely that i'm going to be going on to australia, so thank you very much. >> mr. president, what specifically, are you still considering? and what is still on the table and which would you be willing to accept? >> well, i'm not -- i'm not going to accept any work requirements that's going to impact on medical health needs of people. i'm not going to accept any work requirements that go much beyond that is already -- i've worked for years for the work requirements that exist and it's possible there are a few others
8:19 am
of consequence. thank you. >> i know it was important to you to focus on the trip, but this is having to be put aside. is this almost a win? >> no. no, because we are still meeting with allies. [ indiscernible question ] >> mr. president, sir -- >> see if he -- okay. so -- >> you will be meeting or you will be speaking? >> all right. we missed the tail end of that -- the tail end of that, but the president there saying that he's confident that they're all going to come together in the end and that they all agree that they will not -- there will not be a default, but very clearly they're not further along publicly than they were yesterday. arlette saenz is live standing by. arlette, what did you hear in
8:20 am
this? >> you heard the president say he is confident that they'll be able to reach an agreement when it comes to the public and ultimately avert a default and this comes as they're entering a new phase of negotiations with the president appointing his top aides here at the white house to lead those negotiations directly with house speaker kevin mccarthy negotiator with garrett graves of louisiana, but look, you heard the president talk about the time constraints that they are facing in this moment. how he has cancelled that trip to australia and papua new guinea because he said he does not believe an agreement will be completely finalized by the time he wraps up in japan. he said it is his intention to come back here to the u.s., to meet with leaders and then hopefully ink or how he described it, sign that final agreement, but there is still, even as you've heard both sides characterize these conversations as productive, there are tell so
8:21 am
many differences between the two sides of what they want to see in the agreement. they want to see the length of a debt ceiling would look like and they want to extend spending caps and you heard the president address the key sticking points the safety net programs. house speaker kevin mccarthy that including them will be a red line for him in the negotiations and the president was asked about those work requirements and he kind of gave a little bit of wiggle room for the potential that there could be some action when it comes to work requirements. he said that he wants to take off the table any that would impact people's health care. you've heard the white house trying to push in recent statements over the past really 48 hours that the president would not support work requirements that would take away health care or push people into poverty. work requirements is a very tough issue for democrats which have been balking at the proposals that they've been hearing from from republicans and that is one of the key areas
8:22 am
that would need to be ironed out as these negotiations take place and they're entering a new phase with the president's top aides leading with mccarthy's representative and the president is set to depart from japan in a short while and he'll be maintaining contacts with his staff and he's expected to speak with congressional leaders while he is away. there is a huge deadline looming where a potential default could be as early as june 1st, 15 days a bay and let's not forget how slow moving things are on capitol hill and corralling the two caucuses together. >> arlette saenz, thank you for that. we heard president biden say there would be a press conference on sunday when he comes back from the g7 talking about where they are with the debt ceiling negotiations. all right. we will go back to our other breaking news. we have heard from the spokespeople for the duchess and
8:23 am
harry who were here to enjoy an award that meghan got and ended up in this insane situation where the paparazzi were surrounding them and following them for a long time where they had to go to a police station and wait them out. we have a lot of people here who can talk about the royal family and also about what happened. max foster is on the phone in london and melissa bell in paris and kate williams, and sally, i know you've written extensively and written a couple of books on the royals, as well. when you heard the language used here, that this was a, quote, near-catastrophic accident, what did you think? because there are all of the history of harry's mom. >> well, i, of course, like everybody back had a flashback of august 31, 1997, the night
8:24 am
that diana died. thankful that it didn't turn out that way, but i also could aren't help thinking that they have been subject to all sorts of surveillance and intrusive photography really from the moment they landed in the u.s. in the netflix documentary you had -- you had them talking about the number of droeps fl flying overhead at tyler perry's house and even now in montecito there are paparazzi lying in wait for them. there were images the other night when they went for a sushi dinner and meghan went backpacking and they are in the u.s. under what appears to be sort of constant surveillance as celebrities, and i -- and i can't help thinking that right
8:25 am
now in this moment they would in the uk have much more protection. i have walked by frogmore cottage where they lived in the uk near windsor castle. there is no more secure place anywhere than frogmore cottage because it is in the windsor home park and there have been a series of agreements that the royal family has made with news organizations that were very mindful of what happened to diana in 1997 and for years before that that have applied some restraints. i know when harry was in the uk for the -- i believe it was for the unveiling of the memorial statue of diana, i think he did later and there was some
8:26 am
cameraman following him at one point, but i think in a weird sort of way they've gone from the frying pan into the fire in the u.s. because there is no -- there's nothing to inhibit the likes of tmz and other agencies from following them around. i have no idea who was involved last night, but it does show that given their celebrity status which is really when they are now, they are former members of the royal family, but they are no longer working royals, and i mean, it's a terrible situation, but i think in a sense, they are less safe in the u.s. because we have freedom of the press, and -- and there are no -- there's no mechanism by which they could reach any kind of agreement in it country to
8:27 am
prevent what happened last night from happening again. i don't know what they do other than kind of retreat to a very quiet life in montecito. it's a real problem for them. >> sally, stand by. it is 11:26 on the coast coast a and we just got word from the event that prince harry and meghan and the duke and duchess of sussex were involved in a near-catastrophic car chase and i want to go to max foster. reminding people what happened, just walk us through beginning to end what they are saying took place. >> just before i do that, was there an alarm that some of these paps' pictures that were taken last night are starting to
8:28 am
circulate on websites. they think those pictures should not be used because that -- if you use them you are feeding this sort of dangerous behavior and i am also told that other members of the family haven't yet reached out to harry and meghan to see if they're okay, and when we had was a big public event yesterday and it was meghan receiving an award in new york and it was a coming out moment from a period where she's trying to keep a low profile and we had an event in the uk and she didn't want to overshadow that and there were blacked-out windows and photographers chasing and creating lots of near collisions. the couple were there with meghan's mother, doria ragland. they felt it could have been fatal at one point and they had to basically hide away and take sanctuary in a safe place and
8:29 am
they only just told us about this even though it happened last night around midnight in merck. they're not telling us, of course, where they are right now. we don't know whether they're still in new york or whether they're back in los angeles. i'm being told that's for obvious reasons and the concern about their safety and the security and they don't want to take any more risks. this speaks to all of the fears that harry's been talking about all of his life and that meghan's been talking about since she entered the royal family that they were fodder for the tabloids and that they were at a constant risk because of it and it takes harry to how his mother died, being chased by paparazzi in paris and how he vowed to protect meghan a similar fate which is why they moved to the u.s. >> max, stick there with us. i know you're trying to learn more about what happened here and let me go over to melissa bell and she is standing by in paris for us, as max was
8:30 am
pointing out, this -- this is something the paparazzi, the fear of paparazzi is something that harry has been battling with essentially his entire life. his mother died when i think he was 12 years old, melissa, and he's -- and he wrote and he wrote extensively about the impact of her death on him and even talking about how he didn't believe it for a long time. even going to the extent of asking for the police report when he was 20 years old in order to have tangible proof that this actually happened. >> i think his shock at the age of 12 and he was on holiday with his father at balmoral, and imagine the shock. most of us can remember where we were when we heard the news of princess diana's passing and going back to what sally was saying a moment ago and max,
8:31 am
there is a particular fragility and members of the royal family who find themselves suddenly outside of the system and abroad, and i think that was certainly the case with princess diana. it is now the case with prince harry, and the parallels are absolutely startling. just to take you back to those fateful hours of the 31st of august 1997. she had come back from holiday. princess diana at the time was with dodi al fayed and they were rebuilding their life and the idea was that she was getting her life back and the idea that the press had this insatiable appetite for details of her new life and her image first and foremost. they had come back to paris for a stop overnight and the ritz hotel which belonged to dodi al fay ed's father mohammed and to get them in the car and a decoy
8:32 am
had been sent that was going to shepherd them into the apartment where they were going to stay near the champ elysee not far from where i am now, and the chaos that ensued and that terrible accident happened and she was pronounced dead by the time she reached the hospital and it didn't take very long. the inquest was a combination of the prescription drugs and the alcohol in the system of henri paul and the reckless driving of the paparazzi that caused the crash and there was no question this was a woman who was so hounded and we also remember the words of her brother earl spencer who talked about the huntress now being hunted and a couple of decades later we should found ourselves without a lesson learned and the royal family who find themselves outside of the protection of the royal family are particularly vulnerable. >> it's a great point.
8:33 am
terrifying parallels we're talking about here and one thing we continue to say even though we show images of the car, that images from '97 what happened to princess diana, what happened in new york was what they are driving as a near-cat trofk car chase, no actual accident and even nypd john miller talked about how dangerous the situation was unfolding on the new york city streets? the nypd calling it inappropriate, annoying and very dangerous and they could be looking for people although a lot of things were covered up and they didn't have license plates and we'll see what happens going forward. >> we'll have much more on this straight ahead. stay with us, our special breaking news coverage of what took place on the city streets of new york continues right after this. ry, people are working hard to build a better future. so we're hard at work, helping them achieve financial freedom. we're providing greater accesss to investing, with low-cost t options to help maximize savings.

♪ ♪ welcome back to cnn news central. we've been covering breaking news over the last hour or so. we got word that prince harry and meghan, the duke and duchess of sussex were involved in some kind of a car chase last night here in new york city. what their spokesperson calls a near-catastrophic car chase that took place at night beginning at the zigfield theater at 54th street where meghan was receiving an award and it lasted two hours, this spokesperson
8:39 am
says. let's get the details of what happened. salma abdelaziz is in london. walk us through the time line here, salma. >> absolutely, john. let's take it back to the beginning of what happened yesterday. we understand the couple alongside meghan's mother were attending the women of vision awards in new york. she was there, meghan markle was there to receive an award. i know we have those images of her of course, at the event wearing the gold dress. important to remember the wider context and this is ten days after the coronation of king charles and this was the first big public opportunity for the couple since that time. she was at that awards ceremony, walked out and took those pictures and took those images and was leaving and escorted by the nypd protective team according to a statement from the couple and that's when this car chase ensued. as you mentioned, almost two hours and just imagine how terrifying that is for almost two hours. they feared the potential of a
8:40 am
catastrophic crash. they feared the potential of harm. we understand that according to law enforcement sources, the paparazzi were following them in cars, motorcycles and scooters that these cars, motorcycles and scooters were taken to the sidewalks and engaging in dangerous maneuvers essentially to continue to chase them and after the two-hour chase and the swarm and the protective swarm went to the 19th precinct, blocked off the roads and then prepared to find a way to extract them from this hazardous situation. they were in new york staying with a friend so we don't know where they went after this chase, important to note, of course, here that the conclusion to this is that the couple are safe and well, but of course, serious fears and concerns and a serious parallel here to what happened to prince harry's mother, princess diana, of course, in 1997 and this real fear. you have to remember that a driving force for them leaving
8:41 am
the uk, making that extraordinary decision to leave their home in london and leave the royal family and move to the united states and start a new life, a huge factor that drove that was the need for safety. was the need for security. so you just, are reading between the lines and you get the sense that this couple feels there is no safe place for them. there is no place that they can escape, that they can have safety and they can have this reasonable expectation to be public figures, yes, but to still be able to know that they won't be subject to harm, john. >> we have not yet officially heard from the police in this case. we don't know how they saw things go down. we have just been hearing sort of one side of this which is from the spokesperson for meghan and harry. we are awaiting to hear if the police are going to answer and we are certainly asking them. i want to go to kate now. kate, can you give us some sense. i know that harry has been talking about this for a very, very long time and the last one
8:42 am
that really got people's attention was in his book and in the interview he did alongside his wife, the duchess, with oprah. >> yes. harry talked about the terrible situation and his mother's awful death and the last thing she saw was a paparazzi's flashbulb and he wrote about this in his book. he told anderson cooper that he always hoped she might come back for quite a few years and he also said in his interview with oprah that his earliest memory of his mother was her crying while she drove the car because he and william were strapped in as children in the backseat and she couldn't drive forward because there were paparazzi everywhere and she was so upset she couldn't drive the car and it was not only the memory of the death of his mother and his own personal memories of being chased as a small child and photos of him as a small child
8:43 am
and this is incredibly wounding and incredibly triggering and he talked and said to oprah, if i stayed in the royal family i felt like history would repeat itself and we know what history he was talking about here. he was talking about that his wife and children could be in danger. the children were not in the car and they were home in montecito and how terrifying it would be for archie and lily and archie is old enough, i think, to remember this that he would have been in the car, as well and simply, this is a situation that many celebrities go through, but harry and meghan are, particularly, for the british paparazzi, top money. they are huge money and meghan didn't come to the cor naonnati, and it was archie's birthday and had she come to the coronation we would have seen something similar. harry is someone they hunt, but meghan is hunted each more and
8:44 am
she'll be hunted like this and it's terrible that you can't even go and get an award without being chased around new york, and certainly, i think, harry is suing newspapers here in the uk for invasion of privacy and he's suing over the security that he feels strongly he needs this security and he needs it and he's suing over that and he will try to use any measure of the law he can to come down upon the people that i know they were in black-topped cars and i know harry is not afraid of legal action and he'll do what he can because this is going to be a watershed moment for harry. a watershed moment for the paparazzi intrusion and drones, chasing, but this, i think, this is the worst they have suffered and this is a watershed moment. harry, i think, will go into very intense action after this. he is not going to take this lying down. >> kate, thank you so much for that. >> look, again, i will say all

and we'd have a better view. do you need mulch? what, we have a ton of mulch. right now. abortion battles are playing out across america. on the federal level the fate of a key abortion pill is now once again in court. oral arguments happening today before the 5th circuit court of appeals. on the state level the focus is in carolina right now where two separate efforts in both in south carolina republican lawmakers are working toward a near total ban on abortion. they are back in session right now to continue what is a marathon debate, and in north carolina, nearly all abortions

after 12 weeks of pregnancy are baped at the republican super majority and the state legislature voted to override democrat you can governor roy cooper's veto of their bill. cnn's diane gag ger has been following autoof this for us from raleigh. >> reporter: there's not much that roy cooper can do at this point. when the two super majorities of republicans in the house and the senate voted last night to override his veto, that bill became law. now it does not go into effect until july 1st. but when it goes into effect, it will reduce the cut off date in north carolina to obtain an abortion from 20 weeks to 12 weeks, banning bo most abortions after the first trimester, although it does include some exceptions. but medical associations and advocates talked about the other
8:52 am
changes that are in this law. including the impact it's going to have on medication abortion. it will require multiple in-person appointments to get that medication. it also will add new reg regulations, reporting and licensing requirements, which ed a vo indicates say is going to make it more difficult for people to obtain abortions, even before that 12-week cutoff period. now democrats say that they feel they are going to be able to use this to energize their base. when i spoke with republicans last night during this vote, they said that they thought this was a, quote, mainstream bill. especially talking about that 12-week cutoff point. they called it a compromise, but it's only a compromise within the republican caucus. democrats are quick to point out they had nothing to do with this. when republicans call it mainstream, democrats point out that that is not where polling suggests the average north carolinian believes. this is something they are going it hit hard on on the 2024
8:53 am
campaign trail. cooper saying this is going to hear a lot about between now and november 2024. >> that was our diane gallagher in raleigh, north carolina. fifth graders in florida could be interviewed as soon as today as part of the investigation into their teach showing them a disney movie. the new development here that's coming up. to finally lose 80 pounds and keep it off with golo is amazing. i've been maintaining. the weight is gone
8:54 am
and it's nev coming back. with golo, i've not only kept off the weight but i'm happier, i'm healthier, and i have a new lea on life. golo is the only thing that will let you lose weight and keep it off. who loses 138 pounds in nine months? i did! golo's a lifestyle change and you make the change and it stays off. (soft music) first a teacher was put under investigation for showing her class a disney movie. now the fifth graders in that class could be interview ed by
8:55 am
state officials as soon as today. that's according to the miami herald. this all has to do with a parent's complaint over the teacher showing the movie "strange world" in class. the pg film featured a gay character. ryan young is following this and joins us now. what are you learning and hearing about the possibility that these students could now be interviewed as part of this. >> a lot of questions that we need to answer. the parents have to sign their kids up for the interview process. do investigators come in the class? what kinds of questions will they ask them. the movie was "strange world." this has gotten a lot of attention in terms of the themes in the movie. the teacher was quite surprised this even rised to the level of someone to even talk about. one of the students in the class, their parent was a part of the school board. so they raise the idea of the character being in this movie as an issue. this movie is kind of centered around environmental issues, and the teacher was hoping to show that this lesson plan went along with everything else they were talking about in terms of try ing to save the world.
8:56 am
so when you put all this together, now you have this investigation. you have students asking the teacher why did she get in trouble. this goes back to the laws that have been signed in florida where people are paying attention to the themes not only in movies, but what she was saying before is the fact that this was a pg rated movie. it wasn't on a list of movies that couldn't be showed. now this is all changing. so this is something i don't believe a lot of people have experience. talked to several gters in the state of florida just this morning asking have they seen an investigation like this take place. what kind of questions could be asked of the students. none of them had the answers for this, because this is a new process they hadn't seen before. so there's just a lot of confusion about how this process moves forward and whether or not this is now a political battle that most teachers think they shouldn't be a part of. >> look very quickly. is there a timeline here? >> that's a great question. it's 30 days with some investigations. school ends in two weeks. what could happen and when could
8:57 am
it end, that's something we're all trying to figure out right now. >> ryan young, thank you. we'll continue to follow this one. that's sure. there's been a lot of breaking news over the last couple hours. president biden on his way to japan. the debt ceiling negotiations continue and this news from here in new york city that prince harry and meghan were involved in a car chase last night. they are okay, but we are get getting more information on that as well. thank you for joining us. "inside politics" is up next.
