he's being held on a $3.6 million bond. robin? >> victor, thanks to you. now to the southern border. officials say they are already seeing an uptick in migrants trying to cross as the pandemic era policy restricting immigration is set to expire this thursday. we have team coverage for you this morning beginning with matt rivers who's there in mexico for us. good morning, matt. >> reporter: good morning, robin. we wanted to give you a closer look at what's happening here at the border. this pathway is where migrants have been coming. they go down through these plants. this is the rio grande. more like a stream at this part of the river. this is the u.s./mexico border. they cross here. they go up the hill on the other side. they cross over that barbed wire. that's where they get stuck at the border wall. hundreds of migrants now camped out there. i have been in touch with a migrant who came here from

turkey. he took some video of people huddled up under blankets trying to stay warm here. over the last three days alone, according to border patrol, more than 25,000 apprehensions have been made at the southern border. around 7,500 people have gotten away from border patrol. those numbers could very well go up, robin, over the next few days. >> that certainly could be the case, matt. thank you. el paso officials have declared a state of emergency and texas governor greg abbott said he's deploying members of a new national guard unit to hot spots along the border. we have that story for you. good morning, maria. >> reporter: good morning, robin. we're here at the downtown area of el paso just blocks from the international bridge. the city has set up road blocks in this area to keep migrants safe. hundreds of them are sleeping on the streets in this area. the shelters are full.

until they get a flight or bus ride out of the area, this is where they're having to stay. along the border wall we saw hundreds of migrants waiting upwards of eight days to be picked up and processed by border patrol. there are a lot of children waiting there and limited access to food, water and shelter. now, local and federal officials have been planning for this surge of migrants to happen at the end of title 42. really the surge is already here. overnight the national guard confirming to us more troops are surging to the u.s. border. they have more than 900 here in el paso alone including a specialized group called the texas tactical border force. now, there were more people here just yesterday, but we got word overnight from the national guard and from dhs that they are now conducting what they are calling a targeted enforcement operation. meaning, they potentially pick up migrants and easily and

quickly deport them. >> okay, maria. thanks. situation at the border is just one of the issues facing the white house. president biden planning to hold a phone call today with mexico's president to discuss the border. mary bruce has the latest. good morning, mary. >> reporter: the white house is bracing for this surge at the border and bracing for the political fight they know is coming with this. this morning they say they are confident that they are doing everything they can to prepare for this. they are surging resources to the border, stepping up enforcement measures, like sending an additional 1,500 troops to the border. they are looking to open new legal path ways for immigration. but even some democrats, especially those in border states, not convinced this is enough. we have seen some officials concede their plan will take sometime to take hold. all of this will be top of mind as the president is expected to have that phone call later this morning with the mexican president. george? >> big meeting today. president's first meeting on that economic time bomb with congressional leaders, possibility of default. >> reporter: george, the stakes here simply could not be any higher.

we are now less than a month away from that expected default and an economic catastrophe. while this meeting this afternoon is a very big deal, don't expect any major break throughs. both sides are still digging in. republicans are demanding steep spending cuts in exchange for raising the nation's debt limit. but the president insists that is just a nonstarter. he says the republicans are holding the nation's economy hostage and the white house is adamant that it will not be negotiated. they say instead, the president will reiterate what's at stake here. he is again going to press republicans to do their job, as he has been urging, and to raise the debt limit to pay off the nation's debt without conditions so that they can pay off the nation's bills for spending that's already been approved. we are barrelling towards an economic meltdown. the standoff continues. we are still waiting for someone to blink first. >> mary bruce, thanks. to russia. the country on victory day celebrations overnight, their biggest national holiday. president putin also addressed the nation.

marcus moore is in ukraine with more on that. good morning, marcus. >> reporter: good morning. overnight russia fired 25 missiles. ukraine said it managed to intercept 23 of those. as debris rained down over parts of ukraine, vladamir putin said the world is at a turning point. ♪ overnight in red square outside the kremlin, russia staging its annual victory day parade commemorating the soviet defeat of nazi, germany. it was a scaled down ceremony due to russia's assault on neighboring ukraine and security concerns following alleged may 3rd drone attack on the kremlin. in a rare step, similar smaller parades in 24 cities were cancelled, showing the depth of those worries. the day scaled back, but putin showing no sign of backing down over ukraine. falsely claiming russia was defending itself. the russian leader saying the stakes have never been higher. today civilization is at a turning point. a real war has been unleashed

awhile, a long discussion over the last decade. good morning. >> good morning. this morning investment banking giant goldman sachs agreed to pay $215 million to settle a class action lawsuit which alleged widespread bias against women adversely affecting their pay and their growth at the company. the plaintiffs accused goldman of paying women less than men and giving women weaker performance reviews. goldman sachs will conduct analysis on gender pay gap. goldman sachs said after more than a decade of vigorous litigation, both parties agreed to resolve this matter. we will continue to focus on our people, our clients and our business. the lawyers for the plaintiff says they believe the settlement provides substantial certain recoveries for all class members and advances gender equity at

goldman. now, this settlement means the parties will avoid going to federal court next month, rebecca. >> significant settlement. big change for that industry. all right, stephanie. thank you so much. >> years in the making to get to that point. we have the nba playoffs now. thriller in game 4 of lebron versus stef. the lakers holding on for the win. they're now one win from the western conference finals. i don't have to tell you that, will reeve. >> you certainly don't. good morning to you. last night top billing in hollywood went to a role player who stepped into a starring role when the lights were brightest and brought the lakers and the kings one win closer to dethroning the champs. >> finishes! >> reporter: this morning the l.a. lakers are one win from eliminating the defending champion golden state warriors. >> we fought all the way to the last second. >> there's curry with the rebound. >> reporter: steph curry putting up a fight, scoring a triple double. >> first lead. and lebron james with the rejection!

chad read aloud in court detailing their most intimate thoughts before the murder of lori's children, 7-year-old jj and 16-year-old tylee. on august 7, 2019, lori texted chad, we are both so tired of taking care of demons. we are weary. please ask the lord to take them. days later lori texted chad again. do you think there is a perfectly orchestrated plan to take the children and we just have to wait for it to be carried out? chad's response, there is a plan being orchestrated for the children. prosecutors allege just three weeks later jj and tylee were murdered and buried in shallow graves in chad's back yard. july 18, 2019, two months before the children were killed chad texted lori he had been instructed to focus efforts. so i will. lori replied, okay. find out her percentage for me and jj's. she's at .13.

>> hillary is the name of the entity that allegedly possessed or inhibited tylee's body. the closer an individual was to zero in some instances, or in this instance with jj, 100, the closer they were to their death. >> reporter: the couple are also charged with the murder of chad's ex-wife tammy. just two days before tammy's death, chad texted lori. hello sweet angel. bad news about tammy. the short version is. she has been switched and she is in limbo. a level three demonic entity is in her body. the defense arguing the majority of the texts on lori's phone indicated that she was a good mother to her children. lori pleaded not guilty. but you guys, her defense team arguing isn't this possibly all a fantasy to which hart replied, absent the three people being killed, yes. guys? >> thank you. joining us now our chief legal analyst dan abrams.

want to get your take on these text messages. enough to convict? >> they're devastating to lori vallow. for two reasons. first you're talking about the planning. sounds like they're talking about when it's going to happen. talking about the kids getting zapped. then there's this sense of looking forward to it happening as well, to getting rid of the hurdle. that makes it sound like this isn't just about some religious belief. this is about money. this is about sex. this is about them being together. this is going to be very tough to overcome. >> is it too late for a deal? >> i don't think they're going to offer any deal at this point. i think the question will be, does lori vallow take the witness stand? right? that's the remaining question here. there's no way her lawyers would recommend it, but at a certain point they might say, there's not much to lose. it will be her decision. you talk to people at the courthouse. they tell you lori always felt like she could talk her way out of anything. >> how does her mental health come into play? there was questions about whether she was fit to stand trial.

she even asked for mental health breaks. does that play a role in the verdict? >> she was declared incompetent to even stand trial. you really have to be incompetent to not be able to even sit through your trial. then they determined that she was competent to stand trial. which is why she's having the trial. really would only come into play in sentencing, not in the guilt phase here. this is not an insanity defense. could the judge take it into consideration when sentencing if she's found guilty? yes. but until that point, i don't expect it to be relevant. >> dan abrams, thank you very much. jury deliberations set to start in the civil rape and defamation lawsuit against former president trump. e. jean carroll claims trump assaulted her in a dressing room in 1996. aaron katersky has the latest. good morning, aaron. >> reporter: with the jury set to decide whether to hold trump liable for rape, an attorney for his accuser faulted trump for failing to come here, look the jury in the eye and say he didn't do it. trump's attorney said he didn't have to because the whole rape claim is completely made up.

this morning deliberations. jurors deciding whether to believe donald trump when he said he didn't sexually assault e. jean carroll in part because she's not his type. her attorney said this moment from trump's deposition proves carroll was his type. trump, given a photo of carroll, confuses her for his ex-wife, marla maples. >> it's marla. that's my wife. >> which woman are you pointing to? >> here. >> the person you just pointed to was e. jean carroll. >> oh, i see. >> reporter: her attorney said e. jean carroll, former cheerleader and miss indiana, was exactly trump's type. trump did not testify during trial or appear in court, but jurors heard from him in a deposition, talking about the infamous access hollywood video in which trump is heard saying stars like him can get away with kissing and grabbing women without their consent. >> historically that's true with stars. >> true with stars that they can grab women --

>> you look over the last million years, i guess that's been largely true. not always, but largely true. unfortunately, or fortunately. >> reporter: the defense said the alleged rape did not happen. defense attorney joe tacopina calls carroll's lawsuit an afront to justice and her story an unbelievable work of fiction, ripped, he said, from an episode of law&order svu in which a woman gets raped at the same department store. what's the likelihood of that, tacopina said? 1 in 20 billion? tacopina said carroll wants the jury to hate trump enough to ignore inconsistencies in her story. he quoted a message from a friend that said pursuing trump has become a lifestyle. now the jury is going to decide whether to hold trump liable for rape or a lesser sex act, whether to hold him liable for defaming e. jean carroll. if so, trump could be forced to pay monetary damages. guys? >> we'll see what happens. thank you. coming up the new protections that could be coming for airline

president biden said their top priority is to try to get air travellers a better deal. he does say they will be taking action. so if your flight has an unexpected delay and the airline is at fault, the president said they want to make sure airlines don't just refund your ticket. they also cover the cost of your meals, taxis, ride share, even your hotel, if tphres. the plan even calls for cash compensation. so far they haven't said how much compensation it would be. lot of these policies are already in place in europe, but it is likely the airlines here are probably going to fight these changes. as we said, that money has to come from somewhere so there's a chance these added refunds could add to higher fees for flights particularly on budget airlines like spirit and alegient. congress would still have to approve these changes. if they do it would be a year or longer before they take effect. we do want people to keep in mind, lot of airlines already offer some form of compensation with travel vouchers or miles. so if you do have a long delay or cancellation you don't have to wait for congress.

you want to make sure you don't walk away without claiming what you are rightfully owed. that's good business sense. >> keep in mind it's not people on the flight. it's not your flight attendant. all right, trevor. thank you very much. trevor, you are pulling double duty for us today. you will be back after the break with that amazing avalanche rescue. stay with us. with us. stretch m. i think you were supposed to keep left there. hmm? what is this place? the other side of the rest stop. bundles as far as the eye can see. if you're looking for a first mate, i know a guy. me. i'm the guy. is this oak?
