it is all happening now. airports across the country are seeing the busiest memorial day weekend in year, and so when will you get to your holiday

destination? also, 86-year-old pope francis is canceling all of the meetings today due to a fever. what we know about the condition with a report straight from rome ahead. a passenger opens up a emergency door mid flight, and the emergency landing that followed. it is all captured on video. this is cnn "news central"." >> so, at this moment, jessica watkins is in a washington, d.c., federal court where a judge is set to sentence her as a member of the oath keepers and her role in the riot. this is after yesterday the

leader of the oath keepers was sentenced to 18 years, matt rhodes. now, we know that the judge found that it was the case for stewart rhodes and cal meggs who were convicted of seditious conspiracy, and the judge found that their crimes amounted to seditious conspiracy. today, the kelly did not get

convicted of the seditious conspiracy, but her role was amounting to domestic terrorerism, and we will have to wait to see if she is going to speak on her own behalf, and we will see if she has remors at this time. we know that you are watching this very closely, katelyn. keep us posted. >> experts believe this memorial day weekend could be the third busiest holiday in two decades. more than 2.6 million passengers

passed through the tsa checkpoints yesterday which is up 250,000 from last year. air travel is expected to be up 11% compared to last year. 3.4 million people are set to fly this weekend which is up 5% when compared to pre-pandemic air travel. according to aa aaa, 54 million americans are planning to travel more than five miles this holiday. pete muntean is with us, and what is happening there? >> to where i have seen the highest number of people since the pandemic. we have seen the numbers on wednesday, and monday, and those

were even bigger than this same day in 2019 before the pandemic, so it is likely that we will beat the tsa's estimate of 10 million people between thursday and sunday. and a little bit conservative. so, after the meltdowns of last summer, the reservations are ready to go, and they are the right sized and offering fewer planes and the right staff. they have 48,000 staff member hs since last year, and as i talked to some of them, they said it is top of mind at reagan international airport, and they it is a could be a repeat, but

they are going to say it is a great trip. >> pack the patience and come prepared. >> am hoping to get big hitch. >> reporter: and now, the department of transportation pete buttigieg has already said that there is a warning about the flights going in and out of len e dren. there are cancellations in the dozens, and in the u.s., so far, only in the hundreds. >> pete muntean, we hope that sticks throughout the weekend. kate. >> today, airlines are trying to

figure out how a man was seemingly able to open up the aircraft door of this plane mid-flight. this was as the plane was about to land. watch. you can hear the wind just whipping through, ripping through the cabin, and you can see the passengers gripping the seats. it is oddly silent, but understandably silent, because you can imagine how terrifying this is. an official from the airline said that a man from the exit row tried to open the door 700 feet up in the air, and so, one man tried to get out of the opening, but crew members held

him back. let me bring in miles o'brien. on several levels this should not have been able to happen, and what are you seeing here? >> well, kate, the key thing to know is that these doors are like stoppers in a bathtub. they are plug doors. when the plane is pressurized at altitude, it is humanly impossible to pull them in and push them out and when the plane is lower, and the cabin is pressurized which it would be at 700 feet, and fortunately nobody was hurt. it is part of the string of cases of passengers who have been trying to monkey around with these doors. >> it is a good point, and if your point, people have been

suffering is minor irritations like hyperventilation, and are you surprised that there were not more distractions? >> yes, more warning signs would have been indicated on the flight deck, so that had tep -- and it is good to see that actually. >> so, they were 700 feet off of the ground, and if this were at higher altitude, they could have opened it, and so this is sheer fidics that it could have

opened. i don't know. but for sheer physic, i want this to be to take away, this can't be opened, because the cabin is pressurized. this happened when the pressure was equalized. so that and so the doors can't be opened until they are notified. terrifying as it looked here. >> and for sure, it is great to see you, miles, and thank you for coming in. an indiana doctor admitted that she perform eed a late ter

abortion, and what she could be facing. and also, coming up, texas-sized tensions erupting in the lone star state behind theh two top republicans, and what is behind this fight?t? we will explain. liberty mutual customizes your carar insurance so you only pay for what you need. with the money we saved, we tried electric unicycles. i think i've got it! doggy-paddle! only pay for what you need. ♪ libty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ (psspsst) ahhhh... with flonase, allergies don't have to be scary spraying flonase daily gives you long-lasting, non-drowsy relief.

board has reprimanded a doctor who was speaking about a victim of rape. and she said that the case was a political stunt by elected officials. >> i don't think that anyone would have been looking into this story tgo into individuall. she will also have to pay a fine. and today, the president and first lady will be welcoming the lsu championship team and the men's lsu team.

after the first lady had invited the second place runners up, that idea was skrapd. and now, with a number of lawmakers leaving town, they have left not believing they would vote for the final agreement, and making more demands for border security. some democrats are saying they will not vote for it if it requires things like stricter work details and finalizing as a critical period in the negotiations. the president has said some progress has been made, and there are some signs that it is

true, but it is not near reaching final deal. we know the contours that are starting to come together about what a possible agreement could look like, and that is raising the debt ceiling for two years, and pairing it with spending caps for the same length of time, and the spending caps would not apply to defense or veteran program, but there is still a lot of work that needs to be done when it is coming to finalizing what spendk level might look like. additionally, there are other sticking points including working requirements for safety net programs. this is what the negotiators are talking about as the negotiations continue. at the same time, you are hearing some frustration from both sides, republicans and democrats who feel that each of the sides is giving is leaking

out from that. and so one key challenge is going forward for any type of agreement that does emerge. one thing that the president and the white house is clear about is no option to raising debt ceiling. they say it is time for congress to act. one area that the progressives have impressed on him is that he could raise the debt ceiling on his own. but this morning, the secretary treasury said that option is not a go. >> is that a no? >> so, the question was whether the utsz would use the 14th amendment, and the secretary and have said it will not solve our problems, so, yes, that is a no. >> what is clear at this moment is that they are facing a very serious time crunch when you are

looking at how long it will take to get the actual legislation through congress, and with the potential x-date through june 1st. >> early june is quickly approaching. arlette seanez, thank you. and joining me right now is democratic congressman from new york, gregory meeks, and he is sitting on the financial services, and congressman, thank you for coming in, and since we heard from the white house right now, and the 14th amendment is not look at as an option in terms of raising the debt creeling? >> it is a last opg that may xhurp the 14th amendment, you know it is going to the supreme co court, and it may not be approved, and then the credit

ratings are still going forward and so attend, you will hope for the best thing is for us to get a deal with both sides makes compromise. i have been here for 25 years, and that is what takes place, kate, both sides take compromise, and not what kevin murphy sfarmt and not putting forth draconian cuts to the budget. so we need to make sure that we need to get it done. plan b would be to get at least five republicans, and everybody who is rational in saying that we cannot allow us to default on our debt. so get five republicans at least, and five of them that should be in new york that are very conservative, and get them to sign the discharnlg with so

that we don't default on the debt and then negotiate. >> so you are thinking at this late if they need to, the republicans will sign on to the debt relief with no strings at attached? >> i think that they are going to understand that the we are going to have a debate, and we will have a discussion on the budget. the president way back in snerpg march, and result was to put the debt ceiling controversy on hold. this is going to be on

repu republican, andge >> a problem, and cause problems for them also. they must put the country first and we must pay our debt. that is the constitution, and i see them talking about the constitution, and the constitution says that we must pay our debt, and this has never happened before, and people are asking my friends and are we nervous? i do have butterflies, kate, because i have never seen anything in my 25 years like the maga republicans, and what they are saying right now, and some of them willingly saying that it is a good thing that we do not pay our debt, and you know what -- >> that is quite a statement, because i was up there covering it for us, and i covered it throughout with the debt debacle

there. and while i have you congressman, with the top member of the foreign services committee, you and the chairman were able to read the afghanistan dissent classified cable that was related to the 2021 u.s. withdrawal from afghanistan, and message reported raised serious concerns to top officials at the state department of what the potential collapse of kabul if the united states pulled the troops out, and we all know what happened. you were able to read the classified cable, and did you read new information from the cable? >> truthfully, no. it was exactly as, and i thank the secretary blinken for the extraordinary opportunity to

review the consent cable, and allowing the summary of the dissent summary, and he gave it to all of the members of the committee in a classified session, and the summary met what we saw in the actual dissent cable. and then, you know, when i am thinking about what i understood, and knew what was going on at the time, and back during the withdrawal, there seemed to be consistency there, and i came out of the importance and the decent cable, because the government did and there was something that dissent cable was asking it to do before they received the cage, so there was something going on before, i classified it as a coach or a team, and you are looking, and review and watching the tapes,

and you have certain coaches recommending the certain things, and the person ultimately will look to either agree or disagree, and each time, the kate? >> thank you, congressman, ranking congressman. thank you for coming on. john? >> political turmoil in texas. some tex cans are calling for the impeachment of the republican attorney general, and the outrageous, and what is aimed to keep the city in check, and we will speak to the city of baltimore. it cleans better, and doesn't leave behind irritating residues. and it's gentle on her s skin.

this morning, the political chaos in texas where one of the most powerful republicans in the state could face impeachment and that really scratches the surface. a republicanian recommends state attorney jen paxton be removed

from office. it is said that he is using the power to affect a potential donor. in light of this, he has asked dave phelan and no evidence that the speak wer nouz -- speaker now, and rosa flores is following this. what is happening now? >> well, diving into the 20 articles of impeachment, and that is where the story start. these include dereliction of duty, obstruction of duty. ris kons tuel after proi dshgts and now this is made up of a

committee of three republicans and three democrats. this is going to describe years of wrongdoing by attorney general ken paxton. this is to benefit a donor but this is a case that was settled by ken paxton settled back in february for $3 million obligating the texas pax payer to foot the ball. the texas how spooeker has tained the texas taxpayer $3.1 million of this lawsuit for the impeachment. it is the result of this investigation. now, the three-hour plus meeting was sonding neck here is a taste

of the revelations. take a lis ebb. >> he said that he did not want to have his office help the oag or the feds. >> did you just state that the attorney general for state of texas just say say that he did not want to use his office to help law enforcement? >> that is exactly what was related to us. yes. >> the texas attorney general is firing back saying that all of the allegations can be disproven and that the articles of imprea impreachment have long diskov enclaims, and it goes on the say this process did not allow due

process, and they did not allow a senior attorney from my office to provide counsel. and now, this 377, a simple majority and there is no date for any of that set at this time. >> no date yet, but things are moving quickly. what a story down there. rahel. >> on to the city of baltimore which is turning to a new strategy to try to protect the young people from violence. starting today, the teens between the ages of 14 and 16 will have an 11:00 p.m. curfew. kids 13 and under need to be in by 9:00 p.m. this is a new activity to keep the police off of the streets. the police will not be enforcing the mandate. the mayor brandon scott says it

is time to keep them safe. welcome to are the program. >> good morning, and thank you for having me. explain more of how thising to work awe forts le sft -- of how this work authority curfew in place for much of my life. we do not need that, and we have had ways to show the young people how to have that work. we are calling in the social workers and the rec and park, and peers, and people above the age of curfew to be working with to make sure that we have the approach to get our young people into the youth connections who

are at two of the rec centers to provide the supports for them and their families. law enforcement is not going to be leading on this, and quite frankly, because they don't have to, and even though the city has been seeing a 14% reduction in homicides and nonfatal shootings, we are seeing far too many of the spike in the young people, and we will do everything to save our young people including enforcing the curfew from midnight basketball, and 7,000 people will be employed by the people. >> mayor, i believe i heard you say that law enforcement is not going to be leading the effort, but how involved will law enforcement be? period. >> period. so law enforcement is not going

to be transporting the people, and that is going to be done by the school system employees inside of a school system vehicle that is going to be branded with the safe summer things going on here. when they get to the rec centers, the two centers, that is going to be manned by folks at any office and other city agencies, but we will have that on site to help with the security, and to access where the emergency contacts, and the folks to have them picked up. law enforcement is not going out to pulling and pushing the people into the vans. so all of the things that the folks thinks, we have never done that in baltimore, and we have never chased people in curfew, and this is something that baltimore has gotten right, and so we are going to approach that in that way. >> and mayor, i wanted to get

your response on this, because we are running short on time, but study after study has shown that curfews do not work over time, and so how is this strategy going to work in your community? >> well, we have never said this is solely about reducing crime. anybody who knows about crime knows that there is not a silver bullet. this is about the complexity of it, and as for someone who is running the youth connections, i disagree that a 10-year-old who is saying that his mother is a prostitute, and we have to get him in program and planning is in impact of violence. helping a 16-year-old to stay in school to graduate, and that is an impact on crime. this is about all of this, and the totality of this, and to make sure that we are doing

right by the young people. >> a lot of people would love to see the young people doing bet, and benefiting from programs like this. thank you, mayor scott, and good luck with that program. and now, the pope is forced to cancel his activities today. and we will also bring you new information on the vatican. i've become a a bit of an expet in suncare... an spf-icionando if you will. my bottle of choice? neutrogena ultra sheer. a ghtweight blend that protects 6 layers deep with a smooth dry-touch fini. this round is on me. nerogena ultra sheer. the future is here.

a plot to kill the queen has just been revealed in the fbi files. there was a plot to assassinate the queen elizabeth ii for a trip to the united states. it includes a tip of a man who wanted to harm the queen after he claimed that his daughter had been harmed in northern ireland. it involved an allegiance during the time of the fighting with england and scotland.

>> kate, it seems that all of the files are different, but they illustrate the vigilance of the fbi in the '70s, and the '80s and the '90s responding to any potential threats no matter the benign they were when it comes to people sympathetic to the irish republic party who was in a decade's long campaign with sniper and bombing attacks to get northern ireland reunited with the republic of ireland, and one document in particular which was directed to to director of the fbi was targeted to queen elizabeth when she visited san francisco on a tour of the united states. the names are redacted, so it is difficult to follow, but it says that an officer had gotten a tip to someone who had spoken to someone else who was a patron at

a bar and was sensitive to the irish republican bar, and this man had a daughter who was killed in northern ireland by a rubber bullet, and he had tried to kill her in her visit in san francisco and kill her when the yacht passed underneath a bridge. and the document outlines that at the time the sidewalks to the bridge had been planned to be closed off to the public at the time, and the fears of the fbi with threats to the royal family are not unfounded that in 1979, the queen's cousin louie mountbatten was frequently a target of violence.

>> welcome back. the vatican has canceled all meetings for pope francis as the 86-year-old pontiff has been hospitalized for bronchitis. john allen is joining us, and what more do we know about the pope's health condition right now? >> hello there, rahel.

what we know is that the vatican is not taking any meetings today, because of fever. the vatican is trying to minimize the significance of all of this, and the top aide is speaking to reporters and said that the pope had a very busy day yesterday. he had eight different meetings, and plus a big youth rally in the afternoon that went on a long time, and he was wiped out. the vatican is emphasizing the upcoming public appointments already on the schedule, and mass on sunday for the catholic feast of penticost, and so they are trying to say it is a temporary setback for the pontiff and not another health care, rahel. >> but it is coming after the hospitalization for bronchity, and how concerned should

catholics be around the world? put it in context for us. >> and today, a spanish language news outlet interviewed him, and he said that his health is much better, and the knee pain that he has been experiencing and that is restricting him to a wheelchair and that he is able to walk on his own, and in general the energy levels are up, and the truth of the matter is that pope francis, himself, he is perceiving to be good to go, but when you are 86, and when you have had part of the colon removed, had part of the lung removed, and the line between good to go and not is very thin. >> here is to a speedy recovery. john. >> and we have realtime information on your holiday
