>> mine's not nearly as fun. i'm watching. i'm watching how democrats respond to these tariffs. over the weekend, you saw uaw president shawn fain actually go out in favor of, at least directionally. >> yes. big shift. >> yeah. you're also seeing a few rust belt democrats do that, whereas a lot of the democratic party is reflexively against it. i'm just sort of curious how they react now that they're really going to effect on the china tariffs. >> yeah. and i'm still keeping an eye on canada. i have never seen so many maple leafs ever. i promise this color is tomato, not canadian red. i just happened to wear it this morning. i want to thank you guys for entering the group chat. hanging out with me. love is blind reference. extra coffee for you in the green room and i want to thank you all for waking up with us. i'm audie cornish, cnn news central is going to start right now.

>> breaking overnight. an anonymous tip helps police foil a potential school shooting plot in florida. a teenager now in custody. what police found when they searched his home. >> president trump not ruling out a recession after his tariffs have caused economic uncertainty. his words undoing the spin his own advisers are trying to put on it. and new this morning, a desperate search for a college student who vanished while on spring break in the caribbean. authorities now interviewing a young man who was last seen with her on the beach. john is out this morning. i'm sara sidner with kate baldwin. this is cnn news central. >> the breaking news overnight. police say a school shooting plot has been thwarted and a high school student is under

arrest. this is in sanford, florida. this is northeast of orlando. and this is what police say. they found the sanford police say in a statement overnight that it received an anonymous tip on saturday regarding a video of an unknown male threatening to shoot up seminole high school. and they also were tipped off to this video posted online and in it. police say the 17 year old had multiple guns, vests and other items of concern. when investigators then searched the boy's home, they found what they called extremely realistic airsoft replicas. investigators say the teen threatened to, quote, shoot up the high school and is also a student at another school in the area. he was taken into custody at his home without incident. now, you may recall it was just a few weeks ago that police in indiana made a similar arrest. a teenager, they say was plotting a valentine's day school shooting inspired by the 2018 massacre in parkland, florida. joining us right now is cnn's senior national security analyst, former assistant secretary of homeland security juliette kayyem. juliette,

there's a lot that still needs to be learned. this is just kind of the beginning of what we are learning from the police there in sanford. but both of these appear to be threats made, plots in motion and attacks thwarted. what do you see in this? >> there's two important similarities. the first is just the performative nature of these school shootings actually ends up helping stop them. it's not, you know, it is that these these shooters want to go online. they want to say things, they want to herald what they're doing. well, that's a vulnerability. that then means that we can stop these. so that's one piece that's similar. the other is of course, the effective use of these tip lines. you know, look, we could debate guns. we could debate violence in this country. but we do have one solution, which is if people believe that something bad really is going to happen, that someone is not it's not a joke. these tip lines are working, and that is important because because, you

know, look, these are replica guns that the that the teenager is making these soft air guns, first of all, where are the parents. but secondly, these can be harmful to even though they're using air pressure, they're using little bb guns that can that can harm kids. >> and i actually wanted to that was going to be the next step i was going to ask you about. when you take a look at the pictures released by the police. i mean, there is a lot that was taken from the teenager's home. we're showing it once again to viewers, police, the way the police describe it and you can understand it is extremely realistic airsoft replicas. and this has become a real problem. there's been a lot of conversation around just how realistic these these airsoft toy guns can, or i wouldn't necessarily call them toy guns, but these, these replicas look. and the danger that they pose not clear if the same weapons that were in the video. but what do you make of it? >> i think it goes back to this performative aspect of violence in this country now, especially

amongst teenager young men. they want to record it. they want people to know that it's going to happen or while it's happening. look, these these airsoft guns, they they can harm. they're not they're not going to. they're they won't necessarily kill. they are terrifying. they are meant to terrify. and again, we are at a point where if he's living with his parents, honestly, what the heck, right? i mean, this is we are now in an age in which criminal charges are going against parents. it is rare, but it is important. parents are responsible for their children. if they're living in the home and in public schools. i used to be uncomfortable with this. i am now all for it. if parents are either. you can't miss that it was out in the open. so all of this together means that these these are become becoming sort of more vocal, more public. but they also just to give people agency. they can be stopped if friends, family and others come

forward to these hotlines. this was, by the way, this was the sandy hook hotline out of sandy hook that the person used to alert the police. >> yeah, it is, and that is such an important development. sadly, coming from sandy hook is the is this is this renewed emphasis on reporting? if you see anything, say anything. and then making that the tip line for it. juliet, thanks for starting us off this morning. i really appreciate it. we're going to continue to follow this very closely as more information may be coming out of florida today. sarah. >> all right. this morning, president trump refusing to rule out a recession, saying who knows after being asked on fox business if a recession is possible. now. >> are you expecting a recession this year? >> i hate to predict things like that. there is a period of transition because what we're doing is very big. we're bringing wealth back to america. that's a big thing. and there are always periods of it takes a

little time, it takes a little time. >> all right. all of the recession talk happening as trump is also now warning tariffs against mexico and canada could go up. alayna treene is at the white house for us. elena, is this the pain and disruption as he once called it, that trump has been warning about? because it sounds like his advisers are not on the same page with this idea of recession. >> yeah, look what i found really striking about those comments, actually, is he not only made those saying that, you know, he not ruling out a recession or even prices going even higher at a time when of course, several americans across the country are really concerned about higher prices. he couldn't say that they wouldn't go up. he also refused to rule out a recession. but it wasn't only on fox news that he did that. he then later was asked about this on air force one yesterday, when he was returning to the white house from florida and doubled down on that, saying that, you know, he doesn't like to predict these things and wouldn't rule it out. now, one thing that's been also very interesting to me, sarah,

is how different some of this rhetoric is from what he used to have in his first term. one is that he continues to argue that his tariff policy, his broader economic agenda, is really forward looking. he's been arguing as well that you shouldn't be paying as much attention to the stock market. but what i remember during his first term, he used to dictate a lot of the decisions and policies that he made based on how the stock market was performing. but one person, i can tell you who is watching the stock market very closely is his commerce secretary, howard lutnick. he's been commenting on it almost daily now, but he is having a different what you mentioned. he does have a little bit of a different response to the recession question. he argued over the weekend that he does not believe a recession is going to happen. he said, no chance. i want you to take a listen to what he said. >> if fentanyl ends, i think these will come off. but if fentanyl does not end or he's uncertain about it, they will stay this way until he is

comfortable. foreign goods may get a little more expensive, but american goods are going to get cheaper and you're going to be helping americans by buying. american. >> so that's really him trying to defend the tariffs, of course. and really the whiplash we've seen of them being imposed first in february. then they're having a one month pause, then being imposed again last week before pausing a tariffs on auto makers for a month, and then also pausing any tariffs that apply to or fall into goods that fall into the u. s mexico-canada agreement. of course, an agreement that the president himself negotiated during his first term. and that's really what all of this is about. we've really have seen this kind of start and stop tariff policy, creating a lot of uncertainty in the market, something that many economists have warned jp morgan, goldman sachs, that it could lead to a recession in the next 12 months. but again, really the way that the president is viewing this and he is telling his trump administration, top secretaries and officials is not to worry about it too much right now and

really wanting to look toward that long term agenda. sarah. >> all right. alayna treene, thank you so much for your reporting there from the white house for us this morning, kate. >> right now, secretary of state marco rubio is on his way to saudi arabia to meet with top ukrainian officials and also russian officials. a critical week of talks about to kick off what it all could mean for bringing an end to russia's war on ukraine, and a key test for house speaker mike johnson this week. the country is staring down a possible government shutdown in the midst of all of the firings that are happening within the federal government, and johnson just rolled out his latest pitch to avoid that shutdown. details on the stopgap bill. and if democrats have any plans to get on board. and a woman is now charged with arson as officials are blaming a massive wildfire in south carolina on a backyard fire pit. >> maybe if he hadn't been such a, he would have gotten away with. >> it i'm still not sure that

a stopgap, and we'll be doing this again in a few months. >> yeah. so, sara, they want to fund the government for the rest of the fiscal year. but remember, as you well know, that the fiscal year is already six months in. so so this is just a six month funding bill. and yes, as you said, speaker mike johnson wants to fund this just with republican votes. and that is very unheard of because usually republicans need democrats to fund the government. there's a large block of republicans who refuse to vote for government funding bills, especially when it's these stopgap measures. so speaker johnson is trying to do that. and his very, very thin majority, when he can only lose one, maybe two votes, depending on the day, depending on attendance. but he is leaning very heavily into donald trump to do that. donald trump had some of the most.

anti-government conservatives to the white house last week to implore them to vote for this. donald trump has been posting on social media to encourage all republicans, even those republicans who don't vote for government funding, to back this. and his reason, he says, is that they need the lights on in order for doge to continue to cutting government funding or to continue to cutting the federal government. i'm also told by sources close to the white house that that donald trump thinks that if the government does shut down, then it's a major distraction from all the things that he is doing that he wants the attention on. so, so but this is a huge test governance test for speaker johnson and donald trump this week. >> if they can wrangle every single republican, it is a big test to see if that will go forward. you wrote a piece about the crisis and the democrats. it

is their first big chance to to sort of push back on donald trump's agenda. what are you learning that their plan is yeah. >> so, in typical democrat fashion, they've really been struggling with this. democrats are good governance type of of of members. and they believe in the government, the government, the federal government, as we all know, is quite chaotic right now with these doge cuts. and so they've been struggling with if they should provide votes for with for republicans to keep the government open because it will just create more chaos, furloughs, uncertainty for federal workers. who are they? they are trying to protect. but speaker or excuse me minority leader hakeem jeffries has said over the weekend and they are that they are pushing their democrats to vote no. they don't agree with this funding

bill. it's actually a slight government funding cut from current fiscal year. and they think that this is something that they just can't get on board with. they also think that it could give elon musk and doge more leeway and ability to continue to cut the government and cut federal workers. and so and so they are really trying to wrangle their democrats to vote against this. but this has been very, a very tortuous discussion for them. but we'll see again, if if hakeem jeffries is able to keep his party united because like you said, in the top, this is really the first act of resistance that democrats are able to do. this is the first legislating that they're going to be a part of, or choose not to be a part of. >> sarah lee ann caldwell, thank you so much for getting up early for us this morning. really appreciate it. thank you. all

cnn's rafael romo is following all of this for us. it looks like a lot is happening here. what's the very latest that you're learning, rafael? >> yeah. good morning kate. >> officials in the dominican republic are not. releasing any identities other than the one of the missing student from the university of pittsburgh. what? i was able to find out overnight through a law enforcement source in the dominican republic, was that a young man is being interviewed by the dominican national police because he is believed to have been the last person she was with. 20 year old sudiksha konanki was last seen on surveillance camera with seven other people entering the beach at the republica hotel in punta cana on thursday at 415 in the morning. according to my source kate, five young women and one young man who were with her left the beach area at 5:55 a.m. but konanki stayed behind with one young man who was also part of the group. that young man is seen on surveillance video leaving the beach area four hours later at 955 in the morning. konanki was reported

missing at four in the afternoon. that very same day. overnight, i also spoke on the phone with her father, who has traveled to the dominican republic. subbarayudu konanki described his daughter as a very nice girl and a very ambitious young woman who wanted to pursue a career in medicine. she's a pre-med student at the university of pittsburgh, where she was a junior. the family initially requested the assistance of loudoun county authorities in virginia, the state where they live. this is what the local sheriff had to say about the case. >> it's possible that. >> she never went into the water. it's possible that there's something else that could have happened to her. so we can't just assume that that's the case. so we have to, you know, presume that at this point, anything's possible. >> the dominican national emergency system is coordinating search efforts on the island for konanki. in a statement released on sunday, officials said that in coordination with the tourism police, the civil defense, the dominican navy, the national

police and other rescue organizations, four teams of drones equipped with advanced technology have been deployed to conduct a thorough search in the coastal area of bavaro. originally from india, konanki is a permanent resident of the united states, as is her family. her father told me they have been living in the country since 2006. kate. >> all right. rafael, thank you so much. what a nightmare for that family. coming up for us, canada chooses a leader who will replace justin trudeau as prime minister. and in his first remarks, he's taken hockey jabs and making clear he is ready for a fight. when it comes to donald trump and workers in a once booming wind industry now worried the new trump administration could mean the end of it all. >> and the 90s enron brought us the ultimate visionary, jeffrey skilling. >> enron cooked its books, overpaid its executives. the whole company went down the tube. >> united states of scandal with jake tapper sunday at 9:00 on cnn. >> are you having any fun? what

trade, as in hockey canada will win. >> cnn's paula newton is joining us now from ottawa. girl, they are really mad at the united states. i mean, we're seeing this is unprecedented. this is an ally to the united states saying these things. >> yeah. sarah. sarah, this is truly historic. and yes, canada and canadians are leaning in the liberal party. i have to say, sarah reborn. given the threats coming directly from the oval office. mark carney there. this is a man, sarah, who's never run for anything practically. and within a matter of days, he will be prime minister of canada. justin trudeau will officially resign, probably before the week is out. and then here's what happens next. mark carney will be in an election very soon and face conservative leader pierre poilievre, again, a historic transition made possible from this trade war with the united states. who is

mark carney? certainly an accomplished economist. he was the head of the bank of canada, but also the bank of england, and help transition really the globe financially after that financial crisis in 2008, but also helped hold britain's hand through brexit. but he is untested politically. and really, it was justin trudeau on his way out that set the tone for the existential threat that faces canada. listen. >> wow. >> and make no mistake. >> this is. >> a nation. >> defining moment democracy is not a given. freedom is not a given. >> even canada is. >> not a given. >> think about that. they've done a good job here in canada. all politicians have of getting canadians ready for the fight to come. something that's probably not evident right now in the united states. and that's an

issue. they think that will be the winning challenge to the united states that canadians are ready to fight. sarah, i want to tell you all the hockey references. mark carney comes by it. honestly, he was a goalie in his days at harvard. it is elbows up. i'm not going to explain that. mike myers did it best on saturday night live. anybody who wants to know what that means, you can head to mike myers. >> paula newton, really appreciate all of the canadian sayings. we will go look them up. appreciate you, kate. >> and the viewpoint from capitol hill. let's get reaction from there. joining us right now is republican congresswoman nicole malliotakis of new york, a member of house republican leadership. it's good to see you, congresswoman. thank you for being here. hearing that from now, the new incoming leader of canada, what's your response to the new leader? >> well, you know, it seems they're doing a little switcheroo like we saw happening in the united states. they are taking out the prime minister, replacing him, and we'll see what happens in the upcoming election. obviously, there's a

reason why they're doing this switch. it seems that justin trudeau is polling way behind the conservative candidate. and more or less we will have an election. they will have an election in october or before, and we'll see what happens. but i think probably the canadians are not very thrilled right now with their leadership and look, i think the relationship between the united states and canada is incredibly important, particularly when it comes from a border security perspective and an energy perspective. it's important that whoever the next leader is, it's somebody that president trump can and will work with. and i think that this change is probably welcome for for us and for canadians as well. >> given the uncertainty that president trump's tariff approach is creating. and given that tariffs often prove inflationary, donald trump was asked over the weekend about a possible recession happening this year, he was not 100% confident that he could stave off a recession in 2025. if that is the risk that he is running

with this kind of whiplash and environment of business uncertainty while prices go up, is that a risk you think is worth it? >> well, there's been talk about a recession for well over the past year. this is something that has been a threat going back to the biden administration. we were anticipating some type of recession and slow, slow growth. why? because of a lot of the inflationary spending, a lot of the dismantling of energy policy in this country that really drove up the cost of doing business, i think, and also the regulations that the biden administration have put in place. so i think that we have a real opportunity here to stop the recession that was supposed to be coming for the past year. and i think the most important thing right now. >> but but, congresswoman, recession they're talking about now would be one induced by the, the the actions of this president, not the past can't you can't disregard the damage that the biden administration

did to our economy with their regulations, with their inflationary spending, with the the the interest rates that have skyrocketed because of his policies. >> you can't you can't negate that. what we're trying to do right now is rightsize government bureaucracy. we're trying to extend the tax cut and jobs act, which is the reason probably why we never had the recession that was being predicted. but now those provisions are expiring. some have already. we have to make sure that we extend that. i think all those things could prevent any type of slow slowness in our economy. and you got to remember, president trump has already brought in $2 trillion in private investment every other week. he's only been in office for a month. every other week, we're hearing about a new company that is repatriating, manufacturing or expanding operations here in the united states. whether it's a foreign entity or a domestic company like apple. and so i think that there's we can certainly prevent this. and we should and we should keep an eye

on those tariffs, make sure that it doesn't have a negative effect. but there are a lot of other pieces to this. oil prices are coming down. inflation is coming down. and those are very important indicators as well. >> target and best buy said last week that prices are going up in direct relation to the tariffs. is that a good thing for your constituents in staten island and beyond? >> i remember the tariffs that the tariffs haven't even gone into effect. they've been postponed. >> so tariffs have gone into effect for china. >> and others are in effect. >> now. some of the tariffs have gone into effect. yes. >> well but not the ones in mexico and canada. and the tariffs in in china, they were in effect over the last four years. >> donald trump is increasing tariffs on china. >> okay. president biden actually kept an increased tariffs on china okay. trump came in a slight change increase

there. but these are tariffs that have been in place all through the biden administration. it was a 50% tariff that joe biden kept in place, plus an additional 20, i think 25% on particular sectors, particularly energy that he had put in place. so, i mean, you want to blame president trump for something. he's been there for one month. he never imposed those tariffs that he said he would on mexico and canada. in fact, he's getting very good outcomes and responses, so much so that the prime minister of canada is being driven out by his own party. but what i would say is that we're getting the border secure. we're getting the fentanyl under control. we're seeing troops from other countries being put at the border to help with security. canada implemented and pointed the drug cartels as state sponsors of terrorism. this is all very important to the future of this country. our young people who are being poisoned by fentanyl. we need them to be productive and contribute to our economy, not not stoned and, and, and perhaps killed because

of fentanyl that is coming in over our border. >> yeah. very immediately this week, the government is facing a deadline for a government shutdown. just on saturday, the house speaker unveiled a stopgap measure in order to keep the government funded through the rest of the rest of the fiscal year. your assistant whip, you're on the vote counting team, which means you've got the tough job of trying to wrangle up the votes. do you have the votes to pass this with only republicans? >> i think we will have the votes. and let me be clear, this is a continuing resolution, which means that we're basically extending the funding that everyone voted for back in december. so there's no reason why the democrats should not join us and make this bipartisan. there's no additional partisan policy that has been put in this bill. as a matter of fact, there's only positive increases in spending. we're talking about our

veterans health programs, increasing military pay for our young men and women who put their lives on the line, increasing spending for the wick program, women and children, nutrition and food program. those are things that everyone should be able to support. so i imagine that this bill will be able to pass with bipartisan support. that would be my prediction at this moment. and let's not forget the additional defense money. >> that's what are you going to need, bipartisan support. that's the question. >> ships. i don't know. well, we'll need bipartisan support in the senate for sure because you need seven democrat votes. it has to pass with 60 votes in the senate. so it will have to pass with bipartisan support. and if it doesn't, then the democrats, quite frankly, own this shutdown. but if you voted for it in december, there's no reason why you should not vote for it today. it is basically it is what they voted for under joe biden with minor minor changes. and some of those i've explained to you, the shipbuilding that is incredibly important for america. we are so behind china when it comes to our naval ships and submarines. that is a must.

and all those other programs for veterans and women and children, why would anybody vote against it? >> huge week when it comes to this. let us see. you got a big job ahead of you this week. congresswoman, thank you very much for coming in. appreciate your time, sarah. >> all right. in just hours, secretary of state marco rubio will arrive in saudi arabia to begin peace talks with ukraine. the last time the two were in the same room, things went off the rails. and as an unusual sight in the aftermath of a tropical cyclone in australia, what a family spotted in those flood waters there.

day in office this term, bringing federal wind projects to a halt. and with that, spurring and sparking a fear of what could come next. cnn's matt egan has new reporting on this, and he's joining us now. matt, what are you hearing? >> well. >> kate, look, it's a gloomy. time in the wind business. it was kind of slumping. >> before the election. >> but it's been effectively paralyzed by actions taken by the trump administration. you remember. >> that day. >> one blitz of executive action? it included one that was basically a crackdown on the wind. >> industry, among. >> other things. one of these executive orders temporarily halted offshore wind lease sales in federal waters. it paused approvals, permits and loans, and it also ordered this comprehensive review of existing leases. plus, there's just a lot of uncertainty right now over the fate of key tax credits in president biden's signature climate law. so when you put that together, the industry has just been slammed. we've seen a number of developers take massive write downs. projects

have been delayed, workers have been laid off. and some people in the industry that i'm talking to, they're really worried about what's going to happen next. i talked to one employee who said, it just feels like at any moment, the rug can be pulled out from beneath them. he said the president has a vendetta against wind. the industry is being singled out, and this was a sentiment that was really echoed by a number of different people that i talked to in the industry, including one executive who's got two little kids, and he said he feels like he's going to have to change careers because of all of the pressure on wind right now. we've reached out to the white house, have not heard back, but president trump has not been shy about what he feels about wind. take a listen to what he said in january about this industry. >> you can talk about windmills. they litter our country. they're littered all over our country like like dropping paper, like dropping garbage in a field. and that's what happens to them. because in a period of time, they turn to garbage. the most

expensive energy ever. they only work if you get subsidy. the only people that want them are the people that are getting rich off windmills, getting massive subsidies from the u.s. government. >> now, supporters of the wind industry, they say, look, it's not perfect, but it has created a lot of jobs. it's generated a lot of tax revenue. and that at the end of the day, it could actually help president trump achieve his ambitions of american energy dominance. >> what kind of a jobs impact, let's say, like this industry folds. i mean, like, what kind of jobs impact are we looking at here? >> huge. kate, this is a major employer. when you look across all of electric power generation, it's second only behind solar in terms of the number of people who work there, just over 131,000 people. that's more than coal and nuclear combined. and some of these jobs have been growing rapidly. just last summer, axios said that america's hottest job was wind turbine service technician. the bureau of labor

statistics statistics has said that the number of jobs in terms of wind turbine technicians is going to skyrocket by 60% through 2033. these are good paying jobs, too. but now there's a lot of question over how much growth is actually going to happen, because i think more than perhaps any other industry, wind has emerged as the biggest loser from this election. >> so stand by to stand by and see see how it continues. matt, thank you so much. super interesting. look at this. thank you sarah. >> all right. right now, secretary of state marco rubio is on his way to saudi arabia to meet with ukrainian officials and try to hash out a way to end the war with russia. this critical meeting comes less than two weeks after the oval office blowup between president trump and ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy. and joining us now, former deputy assistant secretary of defense for european and nato policy, jim townsend. also with us this morning, cnn global affairs analyst kim dozier. thank you both for being here. look, jim, to you first, after this nasty

public dressing down that zelenskyy got from trump and vance in the oval office with marco rubio sort of sitting there watching it like a tennis match, what do you expect from the talks today in saudi arabia? >> well, i think. >> the talks today. >> is going to be a big arm twisting time. >> for for. >> the ukraine delegation. yermak is going to be there. you know, rubio's counterpart and this is the time for maximum pressure on ukraine saying, look, if you want to if you want to get rid of this pause on assistance, you're going to have to do some things that are painful, and they're going to go through a list of what those things are. >> the u.s. has already taken away intelligence sharing. it's taken away some funding from ukraine. i mean, i guess the question is what kimberly, will zelenskyy be asked to do for those things to be restored, that he already that he already had? it's not like he's asking for more. he's trying to get

back what was already in place. well. >> trump administration officials have said the purpose of this meeting, which will start in jeddah, is. to find out what. >> ukraine is willing. >> to concede. what are. >> ukraine's terms for. >> reaching a. >> cease fire. >> and then going on to a. >> peace deal? >> the russians. >> are not expected. >> to attend. this week, and. president volodymyr zelenskyy. >> also isn't going to attend. >> he's going to have meetings with the saudis in riyadh, and then his team is flying on to jeddah to. hopefully convince. secretary rubio. >> national security adviser. >> waltz and others that. >> they're willing. >> to sign the minerals deal and also willing to make some concessions to stop the fighting. >> jim, i'm just curious, when you look at this as a whole with europe trying to step in in ways that it has not done before, they're kind of congealing in ways and looking at the united states and saying, we don't know if we can trust them to have our

backs. is the u.s. making itself irrelevant in some ways here? >> well, in some ways, yes. and in europe right now, they are certainly looking on the united states as someone that can't be trusted. and if they can't be trusted, then they're irrelevant in terms of of european security. so what we're seeing the european nations doing now is they're trying to organize themselves to stand on their own feet and not be linked so closely with the united states, as has been the case in the past. so increasingly, we're taking ourselves out of that equation for the europeans as they're looking to do it all themselves into the future. >> we were hearing about elon musk's starlink, that that may be something that they were no longer going to be sharing the satellite space with ukraine. kim, what kind of damage could this do? we're also hearing from poland that they may be looking for alternatives. again, sort of pushing aside the united states with this threat. well, we're already. >> seeing the damage on the

ground from the stoppage of u.s. intelligence sharing, especially the tactical intelligence that told them where the russian troops were on the ground and how they were moving. we're seeing russian troops surround ukrainian. troops in. >> the. >> kursk area of russia, trying to drive them out so that the ukrainians have nothing to trade with on starlink. now, elon musk did later. tweet that while he disagreed with the ukrainian position, he wasn't going to be turning the services off. but across europe they are, as jim said, losing confidence in the u.s. as a guarantor of their security. but they need time to turn on weapons manufacturing lines and also to come up with an alternative to starlink and starlink works. because of the small satellites in orbit. it's going to take a while to have some sort of matching service with new satellites in orbit that would compete with musk's system. >> jim, as russia is watching

all of this and giddy, frankly, we've heard from, you know, the foreign ministry watching this, and they can't believe their ears in a good way for them. what's russia's incentive to do anything to to stop this war? >> well, that's exactly the right question. and that's the problem that trump has right now, is he can twist zelenskyy's arm. he can pause the assistance. and of course, the russians are using this pause, as you point out, as kim discussed. they're using this pause to make advances on the battlefield. so for putin, he feels everything is going in his way one way or another. he's going to get a an agreement that's probably going to be in his favor. or if that doesn't work out, he's going to win on the battlefield. so for putin, there's not a lot of motivation for him to do anything more than what he's already doing, which is continuing to grind away at ukraine. >> and the insane thing is that it was putin that started this war in the first place. jim

townsend and kim dozier, thank you both so much. i really appreciate your expertise on this. all right. new york's governor has declared a state of emergency and issued an immediate burn ban for long island and new york city as fire crews battle brush fires that broke out over the weekend. those pictures are insane. gusty winds of over 40mph caused the fires to spread rapidly across suffolk county. arson investigators are still working to determine the cause of the fire. cnn's derek van dam is following this from the weather center with his new nifty graphics package there. give us some sense of what the wind is means to all of this, because these pictures from the weekend were really remarkable. it looked like california, not long island. yeah, undoubtedly. sarah. in fact, the. memories of the l.a. wildfires are still. >> ingrained front and center in our brains right now. so this is certainly alarming to see in suffolk county, long island,

when this wall of smoke engulfed entire neighborhoods, it was imperative that the governor and residents here, the firefighting crews, over 80 agencies responding to these brush fires were proactive so that fire ban, the state of emergency was so incredibly important to get ahead of this, considering what's happened in los angeles just two months ago. the good news here is that the winds have died down. the storm system responsible for picking up the winds exiting off the east coast. there's no rain right now. we would love rain. but of course, the fires there have now been largely extinguished. the rain is really located across the southeast. that's a low pressure system moving across georgia. these storms could become strong to severe across central florida. so something we're keeping a very close eye on. sarah. there's the storm, but we're also monitoring another one on the west coast now. >> all right. so the west coast right is supposed to get some some rain this week. what can you tell us about the situation there. as you're saying there's a possibility of fires. well there.

>> right there so desperate for rain right now across much of the southwest across the great basin, you can see extreme drought conditions over this region. good news. big storm system that's going to come through this entire week bringing snow to the mountains, rain to the valleys and the coastal areas. it's all thanks to this little swirl in the cloud cover, you see. but this is going to combine with a secondary storm system and potentially bring us a multi-day, severe weather setup that will break out across the nation's midsection thursday, friday and into saturday. so these are the two locations we are monitoring for the potential of severe storms. that includes tornadoes, strong winds and large hail. again towards friday and saturday. >> sarah derek van dam, thank you so much. appreciate you. a new hour of cnn news central starts right now. >> who knows. president trump in new comments overnight, not ruling out a possible recession, saying about questions that a

recession could set in this year, as he his head fake tariff strategy sets in in a new way this week and a new escalation in the administration's crackdown on pro-palestinian protests on college campuses, federal immigration authorities now involved arresting a
