use artificial intelligence to cut staffing in the federal government? why? those reports have experts worried about what they call call a, quote, massive risk. and new numbers from the measles outbreak that is causing such worry in west texas, as health officials try to get a handle on the disease that was considered eliminated 25 years ago, but is surging in a time of vaccine skepticism. we're following these major developing stories and many more, all coming in right here to cnn news central. in just hours, president trump will head to capitol hill to lay out his plan for america when he addresses congress for the first time since retaking the white house. but concerns over an escalating trade war are overshadowing tonight's speech. after trump's decision to implement sweeping tariffs on canada, mexico and china. today,

all three hitting back, vowing to retaliate and caught in the middle. every day, people who will soon need to prepare for the likelihood of even higher prices on everything from cars to electronics to food. right now, we're learning. senate republicans are also bracing for impact, acknowledging the blow that tariffs could have on the wallets of their constituents. let's go live now to capitol hill and cnn chief congressional correspondent manu raju. what are you hearing from lawmakers ahead of this speech tonight? >> yeah, there is a lot of concern about this trump tariff policy. there are some that are republicans who are very supportive of what donald trump is doing. some of them are hoping that this will simply be a temporary measure, and that trump will ultimately pull back from this because of concerns of the impacts on their respective states. one of those is senate majority leader john thune, who i just asked if he's willing to stick with trump through and through if this were to increase prices on his constituents back home. he said that he is in a different place than the trump

administration is on this issue. and that is very clear in talking to republicans across the board. some of them are plainly worried about what this may mean for their constituents in their districts. what's the impact on your constituents if these tariffs? >> it wouldn't be good. you know, i come from an agricultural area. canada and mexico are two of our top trading partners. and so it would make our ability to sell our products more difficult. >> and if i have to pay a little bit more for for something, i'm all for it to get america right again, to start whittling down this 36.5 billion or trillion dollars worth of debt that we have, that's unsustainable. >> you think that a lot of your constituents feel the same way? they're willing to pay a little bit more? >> well, i think so. i mean, look, we have lived under the oppression of joe biden's hyperinflation for some years. >> am i worried that it could impact us? of course, as the american people ready to get the country back on track and do what it do, what it needs to do, what it takes to make that happen, absolutely. we're going to have to adjust some prices for it. but the president is

tired of people taking advantage of our country. >> and my goal is that these tariffs don't end up with higher prices. >> but we can expect to hear democrats tonight saying very much that this will impact raised prices on consumers across the board and aligning themselves with some republicans, as you heard there, who are sharing those concerns. elissa slotkin, who is slated to give the democratic response to president trump's speech to congress tonight, comes from michigan, a state that could be impacted heavily in auto producing state from those tariffs, particularly the tariffs on canada. so expect elissa slotkin to raise concerns about the impacts on the manufacturing sector from all of this. but what you hear from republicans across the board, they want donald trump to clearly articulate how he views some of these issues, how he views, in particular, the one issue that is on the minds of so many americans. how will he drive prices down for consumers, and what will the tariffs do ultimately to to that end? and would he pull back from them if it were to lead to an increase in prices? all questions that

republicans and democrats have had of this major speech tonight, brianna. >> all right, manu raju, thank you for all of that reporting. and as trump is preparing to deliver this address tonight, canada has this message for the president's newly imposed tariffs. >> no, it's not in my habit to agree with the wall street journal. but, donald, they point out that even though you're a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do. >> let's talk about this now with roben farzad, business journalist and host. for full disclosure. robin, great to have you. you hear trudeau there announcing, as he did as part of his remarks, 25% tariffs on $155 billion on u.s. goods. how are americans going to feel that? how quickly are they going to feel it? >> they're already feeling it. if you look at the bond market's reaction, if you look at the stock market's reaction, if you see retailers coming out there and saying it's going to

hit us, it's going to hurt us. certainly at a time when consumer sentiment has been trending lower and inflation is still not fully in the rear view mirror, i mean, you don't have a lot of wiggle room for things like this. so it's really a rorschach and how you want to look at things. we're still in the opening innings of this, and there's a lot of of bluster and banter going back and forth, but at some point you have to decide, am i going to, you know, put that addition on the house? am i going to build that house or home builders? am i going to buy that timber or sheetrock? restaurants are going to say, do i have to pass down the cost of higher avocado or tomato prices? you know, becomes much more than rhetoric when you get down to brass tacks. >> and we know they do pass it down. they pass down the higher cost of eggs. right? we see how they do it. and you saw trump quickly respond, right. so trump goes tariffs. trudeau says more tariffs or tariffs right back at you. trump says okay there's going to be more in kind. when does that stop i mean who's the first to cry uncle here. >> well the cry uncle thing is

interesting because trump did offer an out. i mean, he makes it sound so easy. all you have to do is build here, but it's not like a factory or someplace that makes spark plugs that might be in canada, or someplace that does textiles, that is used to shipping a certain volume to walmart or target can suddenly open up in the midwest or in the southeast. you saw that headline yesterday with taiwan semi that is a national champion, and that's a great coup for donald trump to be able to have these guys saying that we are doubling down on i don't remember if it was arizona because you're sticking it to the chinese in two ways. the chinese covet taiwan, and you have the national champion here doubling down on, you know, onshoring in the united states, very rare to get immediate victories like those those require companies, even small businesses to do years of planning. so initially people are going to take the cost hit and then down the line, maybe companies will think twice about, you know, should we be onshoring, should we be building here? >> so listen, if you're managing

your household budget, groceries are such an important line item. and so i wonder what you think about this, because this morning the ceo of target said that tariffs on mexico could force them to raise prices on fruits and vegetables as soon as this week. i think we should all agree we should be eating our fruits and vegetables. do you expect that we'll be seeing that at all grocery stores soon? >> i, i honestly, if you were asking me from my heart, i'd say buy a 40 pound weighted blanket and just order pizza and binge netflix. but that's not the world we have. you know, unfortunately, we have to try to parse these things out. wall street. currency analysts, everyone is trying to say, how is this ultimately going to settle? are you going to see trump back down? i mean, when does he run out of his political capital in the first 100 days and the honeymoon and whatnot, because this has real effects already. you've seen the bond market in the united states, which eclipses any market in the world. uh, by orders of magnitude, completely react to this. more and more people are pricing in the possibility of a

recession, which was not in the conversation, i think, 40 days ago. >> don't you think the pressure is higher, though, if people start seeing their grocery bills go up? >> yeah. so it becomes kind of a meaning of life. question is that then add to the pressure of inflation or that then then maybe in a perverse way, convince the trump white house that this will force jerome powell hands. and maybe if the fed was skittish about cutting rates, you put enough fear and dislocation back into the economy that maybe we can cut rates again. it's a it's a bizarre way, you know, this chaos to rule the economy and to rule, you know, to be the the leader of the free world. but, you know, it is what it is. and you're seeing the desperation. and i think the prime minister of canada is voice. he's kind of a lame duck at this point. people are using equal parts charm, you know, appealing to reason. citing the wall street journal. it's a it's it's really bizarre times we live in. >> yep. invites to hang out with the king. all the things. roben farzad, thank you so much. really appreciate your time.

ukrainian president zelenskyy describing his fiery white house meeting with president trump as regrettable, says he is ready to negotiate peace. in a just released video statement from kyiv, the ukrainian leader expressed concern about president trump's decision to pause shipments on military aid to ukraine, said he wants a respectful dialog with the u.s., while reiterating his desire to end the war with russia. cnn's jim sciutto is with us now. this was a big move, the pausing of aid. >> it was a big move. now you have something, i suppose, of an apology from zelenskyy, which we know that the white house was looking for. what we don't know is, is that enough to satisfy president trump? it's unknowable to some degree. and then we don't know what the next requirement is, right? because until a few days ago, the only requirement was that ukraine sign this minerals deal. that was the price, in effect, not even of security guarantees, just of keeping the door open to the white house and to negotiations going forward. i spoke to a ukrainian senior

ukrainian military officer this morning in the wake of this pause in aid, and he said, listen, the u.s. has lost trust here, that ukraine does not believe it can rely it needs the u.s., but it doesn't believe it could rely on it. and it fears what the next demand is, or the next pause in aid. and meanwhile, the pause is still in place as of now. and that has immediate effects on the battlefield because they're concerned. how long can we keep firing shells? how long do we have missiles to put into our patriot missile systems to shoot down incoming russian missiles? and morale is a big factor as well, because the folks on the front line, they don't know how long the u.s. will have their back. >> and when that stops, when they can't shoot patriot missiles, what does it look like? >> it's even worse than it is. i mean, listen, every day russia is raining drones and missiles down on ukraine. none of this has stopped in the midst of these negotiations. when president trump and others put pressure on zelenskyy to get serious about peace. russia is still raining missiles down,

including on civilian targets in ukraine. there's been no signaling from russia about its interest in moving towards peace. >> dozens and. >> dozens, dozens of people. and when they have less support ukraine, it can't defend as well against those attacks. and one more piece, i'll say. and this is what folks in the pentagon have been telling me. if the u.s. suspends intelligence sharing as well, this is truly consequential, consequential for ukrainians because they use that intelligence to help pick out russian targets, but they also use it for overwatch to to get a sense of where the incoming fire is coming from so that they can defend themselves. it has multiple effects over time. and as an ally, as this officer was saying to me, we can't rely on the u.s. anymore. that's a remarkable thing to hear from an ally. >> jim, thank you so much for that. and joining us now to talk more about these developments with ukraine is evelyn farkas. she is the former deputy secretary of defense for russia, ukraine and eurasia. she also is the executive director for the mccain institute. evelyn, i

wonder how you view what we're hearing from zelenskyy. taping a video. something we have certainly seen from politicians here in america as they try to target that audience of one. is this him getting in line? is it enough to satisfy trump, do you think as long as he capitulates on this rare earth mineral deal? >> yeah, brianna, he's definitely trying to get in line. he's trying to salvage the situation, get back to where they were. i guess before that oval office media interaction. um, and so the and the, the beginning of of that was to sign this deal. i mean, that was the point. so it's still a starting point though. >> so in a social media post today, zelenskyy laid out potential first stages of a deal a prisoner release, a truce in the sky, meaning a ban on missiles on long range drones, bombing infrastructure and also

a truce in the sea. if russia will do the same. that last bit, a very important quote. what do you think of what he laid out here? >> i think there are reasonable expectations. if you're going to have a ceasefire. those are the elements, you know, a prisoner exchange. i mean, we've seen it in gaza as well. prisoner exchange and and then, of course, the discussion about next steps. i will say, though, that we haven't heard anything from russia along these lines. and i would wonder whether privately, what the russians are saying, i'm afraid, brianna, that, you know, ukraine is making concessions. and the way putin operates, he will just make another concession unless he's pressed to give something up. and that's what i think our government needs to do right now. press putin to give something up. >> and when the u.s. pauses, military aid to ukraine, is that just, you know, bringing ukraine to its knees to bring it to the

negotiating table? >> yes. i mean, plain and simple. yes. and we know, because president trump has made comments in the past saying that he could cut off assistance to ukraine in order to pressure them to make a peace deal. i believe at the time when he was campaigning, he also talked about putting pressure on putin, but i don't recall exactly what he said he would do. and what we see right now is no pressure, at least publicly, being applied on the kremlin. >> yeah, and we haven't heard that it's being applied privately. but let's talk about, as you mentioned, what would need to be applied. so if we see what they're doing to bring ukraine to the table, what would it take to bring russia to the table? in your analysis? >> well, first of all, threatening additional sanctions on russia, something that would cause russia pain if they didn't act to implement a cease fire, and then, of course, telling russia, if they don't come to the table, we will turn

on the spigot and we will allow for more weaponry. and for, you know, more long range weaponry. and we will back ukraine more significantly from a military perspective. those are two things. the other last thing would be, of course, unfreezing the money which the europeans are talking about. these are the russian frozen assets, about 200 or $300 billion that largely held in in europe, in belgium. >> so what's the knock on effect? as we mentioned? does it appear there's private outreach? but what are the knock on effects for american national security that trump has opened his arms to russia so much? if this continues right, he's boxing ukraine into a corner. he's paused these cyber operations on russia. he is not willing to say a negative word about putin. >> the problem is, brianna, on the one hand, you know, i think the administration people are trying to say this is in the

context of a negotiation, but to the rest of the world, it looks and feels like a realignment, like we're switching sides. and that causes a lot of consternation in places like taiwan and japan and south korea, where we have security commitments actually to the allies, to japan, south korea, philippines, and of course, the tacit one to to taiwan. um, if we can't stand up to russia and if we are switching sides to be on the russian side, that means we're also on the side with china, with iran and north korea, potentially because they're allied with russia. so i think it's causing a lot of real concern about where this where all of this is headed. is it just to get the ukrainians to the table, or is it something more fundamental that president trump has in mind? >> evelyn, always great to get your perspective. evelyn farkas, thank you. >> thanks, brianna. >> still to come is the trump honeymoon phase over? is it ending? we're looking at where

president trump stands with americans ahead of his address to congress. as lawmakers are facing very angry voters at town halls all around the country. plus, reports of doge using a.i. to make major cost cutting decisions has experts worried about massive risks, including cyber security breaches and alleged gladiator fights between kids at a juvenile detention center in los angeles. 30 officers now facing charges. >> amid upheaval. >> and sweeping changes. >> the president. >> of the united states. >> trump. >> heads to capitol. >> hill to share what's next. >> follow cnn for complete coverage and in-depth analysis. the presidential address to congress tonight at eight on cnn. >> toe fungus is tough to kill, and it can spread. >> it's time to start using. fungi now. maximum strength. fungi now is so powerful it cures and prevents fungal infections. plus it has aloe and

president trump will deliver his address to a joint session of congress amid a brewing trade war triggered by his new tariffs and growing anger triggered by his abrupt moves to slash federal jobs and programs. a senior adviser says the president plans to lean into his tariffs during tonight's speech, and he's expected to make the case for his sweeping domestic policies. joining us now is pollster and communications strategist frank luntz. and frank, here we are. we're about six weeks into trump's second term. what are you hearing from voters? >> well, i'm going to be watching tonight for how disruptive congress actually will be. we've seen occasions when people have shouted out or walked out of a trump speech. the same thing happened with joe biden. and it's not civil. it's not decent. and there's obviously applause and people standing up and cheering in some cases, but not booing. and to me, that will tell me how civil washington is and what kind of example washington wants to set for the rest of the country.

second is, are we going to see a follow up to what happened in the oval office on friday, which truly is unprecedented and unparalleled in modern foreign policy? the question is, how far will trump go in writing off ukraine and whether he will leave an olive branch open for zelenskyy to grab towards. and third, you mentioned it correctly. tariffs. that's probably the number one economic policy of this administration. the public is very mixed on it. they do want to support american jobs but they don't want do not want to see american prices go up. so he's going to have some. difficult moments with the people in front of him, convincing them that they should pass policies that their own constituents think will make things cost that much more. >> how quickly, frank, do voters sour on, say, their groceries increasing in prices? because we just heard from the ceo of

target, they're going to be increasing prices of fruits and vegetables here in the coming days. >> well, the problem is he's only been president for, what, 40 days? and it's been an active it's been a consequential 40 days. but in the end, there's not much a president can do to change economic conditions. inflation takes half a year, sometimes a year, to bake into the system. and usually it takes more than a year to get it out of the system. donald trump probably wants to get credit for everything that's happening that's good, and wants to shift the blame for everything that's bad on the previous administration. the fact is, inflation has been baked in now for years, and it will take years for it to go through the system. that's why you have to be careful what you promise, and you have to be careful about expectations. the goal is always to to lessen what the people expect and then deliver more. if you can exceed expectations. that's a successful presidency. and trump has raised president

trump has raised expectations really high. >> so. nrsc chair richard hudson urged republican members not to hold in-person town halls in the future here in the near future, opting instead for virtual ones because let's play it. these are the scenes that have been playing out. >> i support. >> the veterans. >> but what you're. >> doing right now with the government is doing right now as far as cutting out those jobs, and that is. >> government employees. >> are going to be let go. and that's just the reality of it. and i'm so i, i feel bad that people have been laid off. >> the end result. >> of the fraud and. >> abuse that has been discovered already. >> he's getting rid of the d.i. >> can you talk. >> about tyranny. >> when you talk about presidential power? i remember having the same discussion with republicans when biden was

elected. >> i wonder how you're reading these reactions, frank, because a lot of republicans want to dismiss them as, oh, these are people who have been organized to come. but we've watched these moments in the past. right. on both sides of the aisle, where both parties have wanted to cry astroturf, and they've done so at their political peril. how are you seeing it? >> let's go back and do some history. we saw the opposition to barack obama in 2009 and 2010, in these town halls, and they were the loudest that anything that we've ever had in modern times. and that did actually indicate a republican sweep in 2010. similarly, there was opposition to what trump was doing in 2019 and 2020, which made some republican events very difficult to host. and that was an indication that things were shifting towards the democrats. i look at this simply as an indication, but i want to confirm one thing for you right now, the focus groups that we

do. we do this every single week are allowed they're boisterous and they will applaud the president for his agenda and condemn him for the way that he carries it out. and this is the kind of thing that someone should be telling elon musk right now. the idea of cutting waste, fraud, abuse, mismanagement, corruption, the public says, yes, do this, but not out of meanness, out of respect and appreciation for hardworking taxpayers, not out of a sense of revenge, but a sense of making the american government work more efficiently, more effectively, and frankly, more accountable. do it for the right reasons, and the public will endorse you. but do it out of anger and do it out of a desire to get even. the public will turn against you, and that is what is beginning to happen. it's just the beginning of it. but it's starting to happen across the country. >> i heard that from a fire

veteran that i spoke with from the midwest who voted for trump still supports trump does not like. to your point, the way these things are being carried out, they feel arbitrary to him to that point. since 3 in 10 federal workers are veterans, a lot of veterans are being fired. we heard that in the town halls. democrats are emphasizing emphasizing these fired federal workers, especially the veterans. is that going to work for them? do you think? >> no, it's not going to work for them because people see through it. they see the politicization of it. and i saw this for the first time back in the enron days, when they tried to pin the republicans for the behavior of corporate america. if you look like you're doing it for political reasons, they will reject you. if you look like you're doing it for the genuine health and safety and well-being of the american people, they will embrace you. these democrats. who proudly proclaim that they're the resistance, not they're not helping their party. in fact, they're helping their party fail. they're

causing the party to focus on the wrong issues, in the wrong language, in the wrong way. i know the new senator from michigan, liz slotkin, she's not one of those democrats. and so i'm going to be listening to her language, her messaging at the end of the state of the union, because that will tell me whether democrats really not just understand, but can take advantage of this opportunity that the trump administration has left them. i want to emphasize his agenda is supported by majority of the public. it's only in how it's being executed that the american people have begun beginning to say, enough already. >> yeah, but that in itself very significant. frank, thank you so much. really appreciate you. >> thank you. >> appreciate it. >> still ahead, reports of elon musk and doge using artificial intelligence to help guide massive cost cutting measures. how this could lead to security breaches and even biased firing.

business writer clare duffy is with us now. claire, what more can you tell us about these reports? >> yeah, brianna, we have seen a number of these reports that suggest that doge is either considering or is actually using artificial intelligence to guide what programs, what staff. it's cutting. just yesterday, democracy forward, a left leaning nonprofit, said it is initiating an investigation into doj's use of a.i. and so i wanted to hear from experts what they thought about this kind of use of artificial intelligence, because, of course, i can have efficiency benefits. it can process large amounts of data very quickly. but experts also said there are serious risks here, in part because of the speed and scale at which i can make things happen. we know that a.i. systems can be biased. that could affect who loses jobs. for example, wired reported that doge was considering using a.i. to evaluate those email responses, asking federal workers to send five bullet points about what they had accomplished. musk pushed back on that, but one expert i spoke with said that if a.i. is used

in that way, you could, for example, have a very talented, essential government worker for whom english is not their first language. and just because of that, their email could be ranked lower by an a.i. system. there are also privacy data security concerns when it comes to the use of a.i. systems. if they're not used correctly. and really, the big question here is how much human oversight is there of any a.i. use? are humans thinking critically about what kinds of questions to ask these systems, and how are they evaluating the outputs of them? i spoke with amanda renteria. she's the ceo of code for america, which is a nonprofit that works with government agencies to implement new technology. and she said, you can't just train an a.i. tool in a system that you don't know very well, because government systems are older, oftentimes you can't just deploy a new technology on it and expect to get the right results. and i think that really is the core of the concern because as we know, many of these doge staffers are young and they're new to the government, and they may not be

totally familiar with the data that they're looking to analyze. brianna. >> so how is doge responding to these concerns? >> doge is not responding publicly to these concerns at this point. i put to the agency questions about what kinds of a.i. systems they're using it either what they're using, what they're using them for, what does the human oversight look like? and the group did not respond to brianna. >> all right, clare duffy, thank you so much. still ahead, the number of measles cases in texas just went up again. what the cdc is now saying about the outbreak. >> amid upheaval and sweeping changes. >> the president of the united states. >> trump heads to capitol hill to share what's next. follow cnn for complete coverage and in-depth analysis. the presidential address to congress tonight at eight on cnn. >> selling your home realtor.com. real choice selling lets you choose from multiple agent proposals. >> because when agents. >> compete. >> you win. >> don't all apps do that?

ambulance rides. >> cnn's meg tirrell is here to break down the numbers. what can you tell us, meg? >> well, brianna. >> we're up. >> to 159 cases and 22 hospitalizations with that one death that was reported last week of a school aged child. the first death from measles in this country in a decade. and you can see how quickly this outbreak in west texas has been growing. the first cases were really just reported at the end of january, and now we're approaching 160 cases. um, and of course, we have been hearing about other cases in other states in the united states. now, 11 states are reporting measles cases in 2025. now, texas is by far the largest outbreak we are seeing in this country right now. and it continues to grow. a lot of the cases that we are seeing in other states around the country are travel related cases. so somebody went to another country and came back. oftentimes we don't hear about any other cases or not many other cases and all of that. almost all of

that comes down to how vaccinated the people are, who are around those cases. and so we're continuing to follow these closely. but to give you some perspective on how 2025 looks compared with even just the previous two years in terms of measles cases, you can see we're already at more than 160 cases in the u.s. now, and that number is actually even higher. that's based on cdc's last update from the end of last week, compared with the entire year 2024, 285 cases and 59 in 2023. so this line is unfortunately looking a lot more vertical. and the concern is that we will see more cases. brianna. >> and we learned today, the cdc is now on the ground in texas helping with the outbreak. can you tell us more about that? >> yeah. so we know that it's the epidemic intelligence service. the cdc posted about this on x today. the state has to invite the cdc in to help. and so now they've done that. they have boots on the ground. the cdc post said, you know, they're there for about 1 to 3 weeks to provide assistance. but that clip you heard from robert f kennedy jr. there that you

played in your intro, really spoke about kind of how he's talking about approaching this. well, he did say that they are recommending vaccination for under-vaccinated communities and that can provide protection. um, he also said that they don't want to tell people what to do, and he spent a lot of time talking about treatments for measles, including vitamin a, cod liver oil, a steroid, an antibiotic which could presumably help treat the pneumonia that we see sometimes in these severe measles cases. um, but it's concerning to experts that they're not hearing a really wholehearted endorsement of vaccines, a recommendation to get vaccinated as the best way to prevent measles so that you don't need these treatments. brianna. >> all right. meg terrell, thank you so much. still ahead, gladiator fights at a juvenile detention center in california. what we're learning is 30 correctional officers are now facing charges of abuse. >> have i got news for you is back. let's think of some new games to play. what do you got? . mething like, uh.

with more than 140 victims between the ages of 12 and 18. now, this video we're showing you is from december of 2023. and what we're seeing in it is at least six young people beating up on a 17 year old. you see, some officers occasionally try and step in to break it up. other officers just stand there on the side, sometimes even skirting aside to avoid being right in the middle of it. over the course of several minutes, we can also see other kids sitting there eating and they're not moving. their body language indicates they're not fazed at all that this is happening. the indictment also singles out two probation officers who allegedly told staff ahead of time that these fights would happen. do not write anything down about it. do not say anything. the indictment also alleges that one of the officers told youths not to get treated by the nurse. when sent to medical. here's attorney general rob bonta

talking about the serious nature of this. >> as detention officers. >> stand by watching. some officers are even seen laughing and shaking hands with the young people involved watching the video. the officers look more like referees or audience members at a prize fight, not adults charged with the care and supervision of young people. >> this all happened at los padrinos, a facility that was actually ordered to be shut down last december by a state oversight board. but there has been a court process drawn out, delaying the closure of this place because there hasn't been a solid approved plan for where to put these more than 200 detainees. there have been issues cited by that oversight board about not having enough staff, about there being unsafe conditions. staff themselves have said that they do not feel safe going to work there, so it's just been very troubled.

and now this is the latest in that saga, brianna. >> yeah. all right, natasha, thank you for the latest on that. we do appreciate it. now to some of the other headlines we're watching this hour. the vatican now says the pope's medical condition is stable. and there have been no additional episodes of acute respiratory failure today. francis has been in the hospital since february 14th with pneumonia, and doctors are giving him oxygen through a mask at night, saying this is being done to help him sleep easier. for now, the vatican says the 88 year old is, quote, not out of danger. also, the head football coach at appalachia high school in georgia stepping down to address his mental health after that mass shooting last year at the school that killed two students and two teachers. coach mike hancock cited his struggles with depression, anxiety, grief and ptsd as reasons for his departure. hancock hopes his candor will encourage other coaches struggling with mental health to come forward and seek help. and some new video at

miami international airport shows police arresting a couple after they allegedly forced their way onto a restricted jet bridge and assaulted american airlines staff. according to an arrest report, the two are accused of pushing agents after being denied boarding for their flight to mexico because they were late. the report also says one of them threw coffee at the staff. the couple is facing battery and trespassing charges. coming up, do you know what pancake day is? >> consumer cellular is lowering the price for. >> those 50. >> and up. get two unlimited lines for $30 each. that's just $60 a month. so switch to the carrier ranked number one in network coverage. satisfaction. >> visit consumer. >> cellular com today. >> with usps ground advantage. it's like you're with us. >> every step. >> of the way. >> right on time. >> stay in the know from your.
