7:03 am
yesterday. he's due at the federal courthouse in boston this morning. >> we are there live. our team is covering all the angles including with the president overseas. our chief global affairs anchor martha raddatz starts us off. good morning, martha. >> good morning, michael. the fbi move carefully to carry out this arrest. they knew this air national guardsmen was familiar with weapons and had military training, but teixeira seemed to know his time was almost up. >> this morning the young man authorities say could be responsible for leaking hundreds of top-secret documents now in custody. an fbi s.w.a.t. team outfitted in full tactical gear surrounding the new england home of 21-year-old jack teixeira, a low ranking enlisted airman and i.t. specialist for the intelligence wing of the massachusetts air national guard. aerial cameras capture him as he appears to wait on the deck, reading, a news helicopter
7:04 am
overhead as agents move in. later, walking down the driveway in gym shorts and t-shirt, agents order him to turn around, walking toward the armored vehicle with his hands on his head, and they quickly handcuffed him. >> we arrested jack douglas teixeira in connection with an investigation into alleged unauthorized removal, retention, transmission of classified defense information. >> the rest comes after an intense week long manhunt in less than 24 hours after "the washington post" published an interview with a teen who said he is part of a chat group with the young man who leaked the documents. the teen did not identify the man. >> he was a young charismatic man who loved nature, god, who loved shooting guns and racing cars. he saw himself as a leader of this group and ultimately he was the leader of this group. >> the teen said starting
7:05 am
this fall the young man who called himself og posted hundreds of pages of classified documents to impress his friends in the group on discord, a chat site popular with young gamers. >> i don't think there was a goal nor something he was looking for ensuring these documents. of course some antigovernment sentiment, but that's not unlike most right-wingers in the modern day and age. >> in the story of the leaks grew, the teen said og felt like the end was near, signing off from the group the final time just a few days ago. >> he was saying this may be the last he ever sees of us, and he was thanking us for all the good times we had together and hoping everything would blow over. >> the pentagon now facing hard questions about why the 21-year-old airmen had access to such closely guarded secrets. >> it is important to understand
7:06 am
that we do have stringent guidelines in place for safeguarding classified and sensitive information. this was a deliberate criminal act. >> the secretary of defense has now ordered a review of who has access to classified material and how it is handled, and of course they are still looking at the ongoing problem of just how much damage this massive leak of material has caused. >> aaron katersky, how will things unfolded that courthouse today? >> he's going to make an appearance at some point today, george, after the fbi says jack teixeira betrayed the country and put national security at risk. if he is charged under the espionage act, he could face decades in prison. whatever he is initially charged with is unlikely
7:07 am
to fully depict the depth of his alleged crimes or the damage caused by leaking classified defense information online. that damage assessment is still under way. the justice department opened a criminal investigation last week, but investigators were still at teixeira's house well into the night looking for evidence. they're also, george, trying to determine a motive. was it glory seeking or ego or something more sinister. and though he was arrested at his home here in massachusetts, it is likely he is ultimately going to be prosecuted in virginia because much of what was leaked belongs to the pentagon, george. >> aaron, thanks. mary bruce traveling with the president in ireland today. mary, as march ttha said, the white house is dealing with fallout. >> exactly. the president has been briefed on the arrest though he hasn't commented on it directly. he did break silence yesterday on the leak that he downplayed the impact.
7:08 am
he argues while the leaks themselves are concerning, that the information put out there is outdated, but there's no question the administration is deeply concerned about the national security implications. the pentagon is already taking steps to restrict and limit who has access to this kind of deeply sensitive material. the administration reaching out to top officials to try to contain fallout of this, though the president is keeping distance from the conversations. george, we are told it did not come up with any of his meetings. >> what else is on the president's agenda today? >> the president today is continuing the final day of his cultural tour of his ancestral home, purely personal, george. the president continuing to trace his roots, culminating with a speech later today in front of the cathedral his great great great grandfather sold bricks to to help build, that money helped fund the move to the u.s. where they settled in scranton, pennsylvania, and you know the rest from there. >> bit of a home coming.
7:09 am
>> a record amount of rainfall in 24 hours in the sunshine state. victor oquendo is in ft. lauderdale with the latest. good morning, victor. >> good morning, eva. rescue operations went through the night. this hard hit neighborhood is still underwater this morning. homes are flooded. these cars submerged all from the unprecedented rainfall. people trapped in homes, streets overtaken by flood waha feet of rain f in less than 24 hours. >> a lot of people are left in the neighborhood. it is horrific. >> ft. lauderdale declaring a state of emergency. forecasters call it a once in a thousand years event. this shows a sea of cars stranded both directions. >> i have driven around the city, there's not one area of the city not impacted. >> neighborhoods completely underwater. >> i took off the screen. >> more than 900 calls for rescue. multiple agencies hoisting people and pets to safety.
7:10 am
>> we are with the ft. lauderdale fire rescue. they're trying to rescue as many people as possible as quickly as possible before even more rain comes to the already inundated place. cars abandoned with water reaching their hoods, people using kayaks, paddle boards to navigate streets, the tarmac and runway at hollywood international airport covered in water. hoping to have the first flight take off later this morning. broward county schools closed again today. we are getting a break from the rain now, but there's some in the forecast. this will only last for a few hours. george, they need days to dry out here. >> victor, thanks very much. >> now to the abortion pill battle, the supreme court ready to intervene. rachel scott is live. >> george, what happens in the next 24 hours will determine if access for abortion changes for women in this country the second time in nearly a year. the justice department taking the battle over the abortion pill all the way to the supreme court, asking the justices to
7:11 am
intervene. in a statement, the attorney general asking the high court to defend the fda scientific judgment and protect americans' access to safe and effective reproductive care. at the center of all this, access to the drug mifepristone, approved by the fda more than 20 years ago, used in more than half abortions in the united states. after conflicting federal rulings over whether or not to ban the drug, a federal appeals panel stepped in saying it can stay available for now, but imposing new restrictions, including limiting use of the drug up to seven weeks into a woman's pregnancy and no longer allowing the drug to be available by mail, even in states where abortion is legal, instead requiring a woman to make three in person visits with her doctor to obtain the pill. as for what happens next in the coming hours, we expect the justice department to file an emergency appeal. but if the supreme court doesn't weigh in, new restrictions are set to go into effect in less than 24 hours tomorrow morning, george. >> meantime, rachel, florida passed one of the strictest bans in the country.
7:12 am
>> and florida governor ron desantis wasted no time signing it. this is to ban abortion six weeks into a pregnancy, before most women even know they're pregnant. this would have significant implications on access to abortion in the south. 14 states stopped nearly all abortion services. i just got back from florida. clinics there were seeing a surge in out of state patients traveling to florida for abortion care, and politically speaking, florida governor ron desantis is expected to run for president in 2024, he is leaning into abortion restrictions and democrats hope mobilize their voters in the elections. >> george, to massive protests overnight. hundreds of thousands taking to french streets over proposed lab labor reforms. good morning, tom. >> hey, michael. they're targeting a visit by president macron to notre dame cathedral, after the 12th strike in
7:13 am
as many weeks with hundreds of thousands taking to the streets. dozens arrested, at one point protesters storming the headquarters of louis vuitton. police are using more than a thousand cannisters of tear gas. using water cannons amid the chaos. and more protests are expected in hours. a key decision from a high ranking council known as guardians of the constitution is set to rule whether the government law to raise minimum retirement age from 62 to 64 is in line with the french constitution. we await that decision. it could be a make or break moment for the protest movement. >> thanks so much, tom. turning to the latest in "the wall street journal" reporter detained in russia, we are hearing from his family for the first time. trevor ault is here with the details. good morning. >> good morning.
7:14 am
