we just learned name of the man under arrest today for crashing a u-haul into the barriers right across from the white house. what the police say they found inside of the that truck after the arrest. >> this morning the kremlin is launching a new investigation over drone attacks that they say were carried out by pro

ukrainian fighters inside of russia. this is cnn "news central." all right. so did the driver of this u-haul truck that you can see right here intentionally crash in front of the white house? a major investigation is under way right now. this man drove a u-haul right into the barriers right across from the white house and that is lafayette square. he is charged with assault with a dangerous weapon, and destruction of federal property and trespassing, but the most eye-opening charge that people are paying attention to is to threatening to kidnap or inflict harm on a president, vice

president or family member. brian todd is there, and they have just identified the man, and what are you learning at this hour? >> right, kate. the national park police have identified him as 19-year-old sai varshirth candula, and he is a suspect in the case. what they thought might have occurred when he rammed into the barriers behind me at 10:00 p.m. eastern last night, there were concerns that there might be explosives in the vehicle, and for that reason, they evacuated that hotel there, the hay-adams hotel on 16th, and h streets here briefly. they searched the truck and found no explosives and the people were allowed back into the hotel. the suspect is sai varshirth candula charged with attempt to

harm president or family members. we found inside of the truck is a flag with what appeared to be a swastika in it, a black bag and roll of tape. there is one witness who saw him hit this barrier more than once. alex garcia spoke with media members last night, and this is what he said. >> it is a u-haul truck come on the h street, and then he tried to run into the warehouse. then he tried the first time, and he went a second time. now it is right over there, right in front of the warehouse. >> reporter: now according to the police and the u.s. secret service, the president was never in any danger, but the secret service is not giving any information as to whether there was any protective measures as to what was taking place, and still people were on the street,

and a fair number of people out there on the street because it was good weather, and as you can see, this is 200 yards from the white house. kate? >> thank you, brian, for the update. this afternoon, donald trump is going to appear before a manhattan judge remotely via video about what he can say or not say about the criminal hush money criminal case. and then there is more from e. jean carroll because she is going to ask for a substantial amount of money after what trump said on the cnn town hall. and kara scannell is outside where the video of donald trump is going to appear and the criminal hush money case, anded what is going to happen there? >> yes, john. at the hearing the former president is going to appear on

the video screen and the judge is going to address him directly, and describe to him the protective order that he put in place earlier in the month, and in the order, it is going to give the former president the rules of the road that what the prosecutors turn over. and it is not a gag order, and trump can continue to defend himself on material that is in the public domain, but trump cannot post any material that he receives from the prosecutors and information from grand jury or social on social media. prosecutors want this clear to trump the, because he has extensive history of making inflammatory and other statements on the social media page, and they want to address the president one-on-one to ask questions if he has them, and also that trump can learn the consequences if he violates court order, and they want to make sure there is no confusion

moving forward and we may learn the trial date. the judge has asked for when they want the trial to go forward in january or february next year, because this is the middle of the presidential season, and the judge wants to make sure there is no excuses of why trump can or cannot appear when this trial date is set. >> so in the words matter file, and why is e. jean carroll pointing to the cnn town hall and saying, hey, this matters. >> so carroll is pointing to trump's comments which came 24 hours after the jury delivered that verdict in her favor where trump repeated some of the statements that the jury said was defamatory, and the judge that is overseeing another trial that is defamatory and one based on comments in 2019 and 2020 and essentially the same comments, and the lawsuit that is held up

on appeal, and the judge is being asked to show that he is not remorseful, and that he had some malice here in order to get more in terms of the punitive damages, because those are meant to punish the person for whatever they are found liable of, and this is going to previous judge that it went up on appeal, and now back in his court, and so more developments on this case moving forward, john. >> and kara scannell, this is a busy day for you, and now, more going forward. kate? >> and now, what is e. jean carroll asking from the attorneys to amend the lawsuit to include what are defamatory statements at a town hall two weeks ago and what is that dog to her case? >> well, it is strengthening her

case, and she could have filed another lawsuit, and said, he defamed me again, but she is asking for a lot more money, and he has done it again and he has not learned. and there is more here, and this is helping to prove her case. >> and now, the comments from cnn are warranting punitive damages from what is being said. trump's defamatory statements post verdict show more malice toward carroll, and this is conduct that is showing the warranting more punitive damages for carroll to punish trump to prevent him from engaging in further defamation and deter others from further deterrence. >> that is what it is for punitive damages are, and deterrence, and deterring him for. a day after the verdict is in

and he is ordered to pay $5 million, he is on the cnn town hall and he is saying the same thing. he is needing to be detered from that, and that why they are going for this. >> and another situation in criminal court in manhattan for trump is the judge is going to be expected to tell trump what he can and cannot say and trump appearing video, and what is that is going to include and look like? >> this is a protective order and not a gag order, and he is not prevented from talking about the case or saying that he is innocent, but this is discovery that the prosecutors are about to turn over to his team. he cannot disclose that, and sometimes the witnesses can be at risk if you disclose what is in discovery and threats against the judge in the case. and he has threatened the judge, and the followers could potentially put them at risk, and this is why they want to be careful of what he is doing or

can't do. and this is direct notice, and if something is showing up on truth social, and this is not that the lawyers knew, and this is direct notice, and if something shows is up, the judge can proceed with whatever sanctions he wants to impose. >> thank you. good to see you, jennifer. so is the field for president about to grow bigger than expected. this is tim jumping in yesterday, and then we are hearing from axios that possibly there is also from "wall street journal" hearing that possibly

fred youngkin may jump in. i don't want to focus just on the youngkin thing, but there is maybe possibly that this race is not set in stone, and maybe other people like the governor of north dakota maybe be considering jumping in, and what are you seeing, jeff? >> well, it is absolutely not set in stone, and another important thing to keep in mind, this is the beginning of the rep rar republican race. and as reported others will get in the race. mike pence is likely to get in june, and former new jersey governor chris christie is likely to get in sooner than

that and the list is on and on, and as for glen youngkin the virginia governor won a surprising victory in 2021, and he remains, i am told with a lot of donors and top republicans want him to keep an open mind on this, but the reality is that he is a one-term of governor of virginia, and he is not actively considering this at this time unless it would be a plan b. unless it would be at the end of the year if things go south with donald trump, and governor desantis, and others maybe he would jump in. but look at the tweet from one of the senior advisers to set the record straight on what governor youngkin is thinking. he says that governor youngkin is focusing on virginia and anybody who anonymously is saying otherwise is not as close to the governor than they would like to think. and so what this is speaking to is that ron desantis the florida

governor, we are expecting him to formally get in, and he is not as strong as the republicans once thought. he is getting in the race in a far weaker position, and this is why so many others are thinking about also joining contest, john. >> part of it is the race to be the trump alternative and sensing weakness, it seems with ron desantis, and i am holding in my hand this open letter from nikki haley, and this is the type of memo that says, please cover me, and i want people to see that i am doing this. >> i love the memos. >> and it is basically an attack on ron desantis who says that this is like trump drama and all but without any of the charm. explain this. >> well, look, this is someone who has been in the race for several months, and nikki haley has been traveling probably more than any candidate to iowa, south carolina and some of the

early voting states and trying to get in the second position, and trying to be the alternative to donald trump, and she is one of them, but not the only one or perhaps the leading one, and so what she is trying to do is to get ahead of governor desantis' announcement tomorrow, and take a shot at him, because he is easier to take a shot at than donald trump, but john, the ultimate question of all of this, and yes, donald trump is the frontrunner, but he is not the presumptive nominee, because it is far too early to know that. so as we are talking to the voters in the early voting states there is an exhaustion factor, but somebody has to go after him, and you know, show that they are a stronger candidate, and the beginning of the process, but it is going to be much more crowded which we should point out that of course helps donald trump, because the rest of the support is fractured. >> one guy who likes an attack on ron desantis is donald trump.

speaker kevin mccarthy has been speaking behind closed doors to republicans at a meeting to fill them in on where he thinks that things are. so we will go to manu raja who is on capitol hill, and what did the speaker have to say? >> yeah, he says that they are nowhere close to a deal, and this is a real warning sign here that there are simply not much time here to go through the legislative house and then to the senate and avoid default through the june 1st as jan nell yellen reiterated it, and saying that the white house is over spending levels, and this is to cut the spending below last year's level. the white house wants to freeze the domestic spending, and this is one big dispute, and another

is to add a range of policies such as new work requirements on the safety net projects and among the disputes going forward, but the negotiations happening last night and this morning have not been moved closer to the deal, and on top of that, a number of the conservatives leading to the closed door meeting this morning don't believe that june 1st is a real date, and they are telling speaker and the leadership to not adhere to the june 1st deadline and saying that janet yellen is makeing things up. >> i don't believe that the first of the month is a real deadline. why don't we make janet yellen show her work. >> everybody knows june 1st is false. >> that is the one real risk here that other republicans say that if they were trying to blow past that deadline, but a

default could happen as early june, and that could have drastic ramifications here, and you can see the pressures of the right and the challenges to have a deal to begin with, and everyday is so critical that passes that they don't get a deal, the prospects rises substantially. >> it is a good example of how kevin mccarthy has to deal with the right over here, and negotiating with the right over here, and i would add that the language of the negotiations they are nowhere close to a deal usually until they have a deal. so, obviously, it is something that we are watching very, very closely and waiting for any signs of progress. we know that you are working hard, manu. thank you. kate? >> you see the direction of where we are going after the team meeting amongst the republicans, john. and we know that secretary treasurer janet yellen doubling down, and now some republicans

are saying they don't believe her. and now, ceos have put out an open letter to president biden and others to urge them to act or face a devastating scenario. one of those ceos is the chairman of silver cup studios. and thank you for coming in, alan. and we heard this update from capitol hill, and they said overnight, productive talk, and now coming out of the meeting of the republicans saying that they are nowhere near a deal, and a suggestion that if it is not done this week, they don't have time to get it done before this june 1st deadline that we have been hearing from secretary yellen. you have warned the congress what default would mean and warned washington from the outside looking n and how confident are you in seeing what is playing out? >> well, confidence in this case is, you know, it is very iffy. the whole issue here this notion

of uncertainty. uncertainty is what is is roili the markets. and whether it is the markets or the spending habits and whether to buy homes and fix things and do the thing they would do, and uncertainty is absolute destructive. the way in which the both sides of the aisle are is something ts been used for the last 10, 15 years is brinkmanship, and it is not serving anyone very well, and the world had relied on the united states for so long to be, you know, kind of the grown-up in the room so to speak on the world stage, and we are not behaving like grown-ups anymore. compromise is what is needed to move anything forward in life, and we are not getting the messages. you know p i am not sure how effective it is to have the

public as engaged in the way in which it is, you know, in the news media with these negotiations. it makes people dig in their heels even more, and so it is very concerning. >> let me ask you, because in the letter that you signed on with other big ceos, you all warned of the potentially disastrous consequences of the failure of the federal government to meet the obligations, but there are other lawmakers and manu raja who reported that some of them don't believe june 1st is a real deadline. and even congressman ken buck said, it is not the end of the world to know what a default is, because i don't know what it looks like. >> and we have not had a default in over 200 years and for the good reason, that we don't know what it looks like. and looking at the real and unreal deadlines and as to

whether it is a real deadline or not is beside the point. we need to have the people who are on opposing sides to get into the room and get to a point where they can truly come up with a plan that works for this country. this type of extreme on both sides is killing the country. it is not helping the country. >> you talked about how compromise is the way that things move forward and alan, you are the chairman of one of the if not the biggest production facilities for tv, and you have had picket lines outside of production facilities the, and how do you see the writer's strike ending? >> we have. and you know, it is in some ways it is very similar. i don't talk to the people on the picket lines. i mean, it is not the appropriate thing for me to do in my position. they are not picketing against

us, but they are picketing against the clients. at the world has changed, and you know, some of the things that the writers are concerned about is that they would like to go back to in a certain sense the old way of when the shows had 22 episodes and they had residuals of when it went year over year, and life has changed. we have streaming now, and the world is in 8 to 10 episodes. if we don't embrace change and work with it, and compromise to work within the change that is hoisted upon us, we will never move forward whether it is with the writers and the employers or the level of the congress and the president. life has changed and the world has changed. whoever anticipated that there would be a war in the ukraine. i certainly didn't. and it has impacted the rest of the world and it is continuing. the world is ever changing. so we have to embrace change and compromise and move forward for everyone's benefit.

this morning, a historic deal has been reached to protect the colorado river with three states -- arizona, colorado and nevada -- have agreed to protect 10% of the water around the states received from the river for irrigation and water and power, and in exchange the states will be compensated in federal funding. lucy kafanov has been covering this, and it is a deal that had to be made, lucy? >> yeah, look, it is not final, and needs the federal environmental review, and the upper basin states have to sign off on it, but it is a significant breakthrough and one

of a several missed deadlines and stalemate, and the federal government had threatened to make these unilateral cuts across the board if the states could not reach an agreement, and this deal should theoretically prevent this. under the new agreement, most of the reductions would be made by water districts and made by farmers and cities as well as native american tribes in california, nevada and arizona which would take less water from the river in exchange for $1 billion in federal funds and save 3 million acres per lot, and this is going to save, but it is not going far enough. it is about half of what was called for by the government, but it is going to slash half of the total water used by the basin which is going to trigger

significant water cuts on the region, and this is a significant farming region. the colorado is the lifeblood to supply water to people across the states, and the water flow has shrunk from one-third of the historical average, because of drought, population and climate changes. and we are talking about lake powell, and lake mead have declined dramatically. the water of the reservoirs have gotten so low, that there was concerned that the dam would stop generating power, and this would make the government require additional cuts, but it does not solve the problem of water overuse or climate change, but this is a positive step in the right direction to buy more time while we look for more

new in this hour, the hearing for evangershkovich. he last appeared in april and that is when he asked that the house detention be under house arrest and that was denied a at that point and is under appeal. he is wrongly detained in russia under espionage charges, charges that he and the u.s. government deny. >> thank you, kate. and now, russia's belgorad region is right over the border from ukraine and geolocated by cnn, it does show the smoke rising from above the city, and it is rising from here, and no injuries have been reported from the strike.

so as we said, belgorad is right here, and we have seen other attacks here carried out by a group called freedom of russia lee legion, and these are the groups that are fighting against the russian government, and they are taking place up here and across the russian border here. we have video that purports to show the aftermath. you can see the smoke rising here in grayvoron and in kozinka and you can see some operation here with the military vehicles, and now to talk about this with where things stand, joining me is david petraeus, a member of

c c cencom and other affiliations. >> well, they were trying to take over bakhmut which is one of the winter objectives which was among others that was not achieved. and focusing on the little militia elements which are pro-ukrainian elements which have distracted the russians, and they have to respond to this as we speak, but the bigger picture is that we are in a moment of transition. the russian winter offensive has

culminated and it did not achieve all of the gains, the final quote victory in bakhmut, and on the flanks of bakhmut, the ukrainians have been counter attacking and taking them back from the russians and the head of wagner saying that he is going to withdraw his troops from june and give them retraining and relaxation, and so even more tenuous as they are claiming this seemingly victory, but what to look ahead to is this looming ukrainian counter offensive. the counter offensive is hugely important, because it is going to be using additional yucrepe i crepe -- ukrainian brigades equipped with artillery and enormous riding on. this i personally think that it

is going to be quite successful. i think that the russian forces have been beaten up badly. they are not cohesive or coherent in terms of command and control. the russian commanders have been replaced every few months and individual replacements that are not well equipped or trained, and the units are not disciplined and they will have to draw under pressure of this ukrainian offensive the most possible tactical maneuver, and i don't believe they will do well at that. the ukrainian forces have not been in combat 15 straight months the way that the russians have, and these units have not sustained losses that the russians have, and they have been in training in eastern poland, u.k., germany and elsewhere and very well equip and disciplined and cohesive and fighting for ukraine's war for independence. so the implications are going to be substantial. i think that the ukrainians are

going to do better than a lot of the analysts have assessed they will which is hugely important because of the overall importance of keeping western support for ukraine, and ultimately convincing putin that he is not going to be able to outsuffer the americans and the europeans and the ukrainians. >> and general, this counter offensive has been discussed for quite some time, and more publicly than many military commanders would like, and what is the wait at this point? >> well, the wait at this point is two factors. president zelenskyy is open about one of those, and there are still some western tanks that they would like to get into the units before they launch this, and the other is significant as well, because you have to wait for the ground to get dry and firm, and the ground is still quite damp and moist, and therefore the tanks and other vehicles would get mired going off road. and the defensive belts and so

far, they are focused on the roads. so the ukrainians have to get off of the roads and crack through, and breakthrough the russian fortifications, and get through the units that are quite battered and beaten up, and not particularly coherent. then they can achieve the ultimate offensive of separating the ability of the russians to resupply crimea along the southeastern coast of ukraine by driving all of the way to the sea there. >> general david petraeus, always great to get your insight and help of understanding the bigger picture. thank you. and we look forward to speaking with you again. kate? >> with the pandemic, the country saw a surge of overdose deaths in the united states, and now the drug-related deaths continue the surge. what the experts believe is behind this. we will be right back. neutrogena® beach defense® the suncare brand used momost by dermatologists
