brianna. all right. katie bow and alex marquardt, i know you have some news about the usaid, which is feeling earthquakes now all the way overseas to where so many of its employees are stationed. >> yeah, brianna, it, too is being dismantled, one step at a time. for the past few days, we have heard this steady drumbeat of people being frozen out of their accounts. hundreds and hundreds of contractors, the top level career official officials being put on leave. and now we have this, this agency wide, broad mandate directive by the top of usaid that everybody, all the direct hires. so these are the direct u.s. government employees are being put on administrative leave, which means they will go home. they will keep their pay. but keep in mind, brianna, of course, there are thousands of these direct hires, and most of them are around the world. so those agency staffers will have to pack up and get home. they say within the next 30 days, many of them are working in far reaching, dangerous and desperate places

brianna. >> let's talk about this now with former fbi deputy director andrew mccabe. andy, do you think that this is going to work this lawsuit? >> well, i think it tips the scales somewhat in the agents favor. >> which is. absolutely necessary. >> it has the advantages of taking. >> this process. >> which seems designed for only one result. right. to put the department and bureau leadership in a position of purging these agents for doing the lawful work that they did. and it now introduces some degree of judicial review or oversight of that process, some some neutral third party, our courts that can step in and say what you're doing here is denying these agents their due process rights, and you are also putting them at risk by potentially violating their privacy rights under the privacy act. if you release their names to the public. so it's i think it's a great move. i think it's necessary for them to stand up and defend themselves. and this is the proper way to do that at this point in the i

it doesn't sound. >> like it, brianna. brianna. brianna, can i ask you a question? was this telework available prior to covid, or was this something that was born out. >> of covid? >> do you know that? >> can you answer prior to covid, sir? >> due to covid. >> prior to covid. >> covid it was. >> yes. >> okay. they could telework. okay. and so what you're saying now is they're not being allowed to telework. or is somebody just telling you that because it sounds anecdotal? >> it's not anecdotal, sir. okay. it's not anecdotal. i'm telling you, it's not anecdotal. >> so, no, brianna, what i'm asking you is, did somebody tell you this? did they call you up on the phone or did you read about it in an article? no, i'm asking the question, sir. >> i'm talking to dozens of military spouses. they had telework before covid. they are in a position where they will not be able to maintain their work because of this return to work. eo, even the opm guidance involving remote work is not being honored to the word by some of these agencies, which is going to have to force them out of

brianna. >> all right, jeremy, thank you. and now to our cnn chief congressional correspondent, manu raju on the hill. what are you hearing from lawmakers? >> well, republicans themselves are uncertain what to make of this. some of them were surprised, and many of them are surprised when they first heard this. others rejected out of hand, said this is completely unworkable. >> and many. >> of them want more details, especially as donald trump is talking about this more and more and suggesting this is not something, just something he was just spouting off at the press conference, but actually something that he actually wants to see accomplished. but even so, there are still republicans who don't believe this is something that can actually be pulled off. >> i'm just arguing. >> what is the logistical challenge. >> of rebuilding. >> gaza. >> which i. >> am told there's not a brick. >> standing upon a brick in a way which implies structural integrity. >> but do you think do you think your constituents would want you. >> should re

we've checked and they have not gotten back to us, brianna. >> all right. we'll wait to see what they do say. jeff zeleny live for us at the white house. thank you. boris. >> federal employees at the epa's environmental justice and civil rights office have been told they could be put on leave in the coming days. they were told that an all staff meeting, the change would be part of president trump's order ending all dei initiatives. cnn's rene marsh is going to break this down for us. rene. the trump administration has already closed the epa's dei office. so what is the environmental justice office do and how many workers could be impacted? >> right. so this is an office. it's the environmental justice as well as the external civil rights office. and these are individuals who are making sure that grant's policies are keeping in mind that there are certain communities that could be facing disproportionate impacts from things like climate change and pollution and making sure that federal funding and programs are equitably distributed so that they can prepare t

and as of today, brianna, the answer is yes. both attorneys for both blake lively and for justin baldoni, they have said they are ready to move full steam ahead. today, outside of court, our colleague nikki brown, who was covering for us, she caught brian friedman. and this is what he said. he said, quote, my clients are devastated financially and emotionally. and he is saying that is the reason why they want to move quickly with this. now, i have received a statement from attorneys for blake lively. here is what they tell me. quote, the court granted our request that all attorneys in the matter actually follow the rule of law and not make any statements that could prejudice a jury. this case deals with serious allegations of sexual harassment and retaliation. we will hold the defendants accountable, and we are confident that once all the evidence is submitted in this matter, miss lively will prevail. now, her attorneys also telling me they are ready for discovery. so both sides, brianna, ready to go, ready to go to trial. >> al

you know, brianna, by themselves, no big deal, right? i mean, just to give you context, the steel and aluminum industry in the u.s. produce about $100 billion of of metal a year. the u.s. economy, the gdp, that's the value of all the things that we produce. that's $30 trillion a year in terms of jobs. steel, aluminum account for 125,000 jobs. obviously, i'm rounding. uh, if you look at the entire economy, it's 160 million jobs. so, you know, by themselves, you know, no big deal. but, you know, if you put it into the broader context, obviously this is just one additional step down the path towards a broader trade war and more universal tariffs. and so, you know, that has all kinds of implications. the other thing i'd say is, even though the steel and aluminum tariffs by themselves, no big deal for the broader economy, it does create, you know, winners and losers, right. the steel and aluminum industry win. but those industries that use steel and industry that take construction or the vehicle industry or the machine tool industry, hand too

brianna. >> all right. jeff zeleny, thank you for that. live for us from the white house, for us., as these dramatic cuts to the federal workforce start to take shape, elon musk remains on his mission to revamp the federal workforce. >> he's also sowing confusion and chaos within government ranks. the white house calling musk a special government employee working only at the approval of the president. what remains unclear, though, is whether an unelected businessman can wield this level of authority. joining us now, former defense secretary and cia director under president obama, leon panetta. sir, thanks so much for being with us. the white house, obviously, with the help of doge, has targeted omb, the treasury, usaid and all federal employees across the country. ultimately, what do you think their goal is? >> well, there's no question that their goal is to create a great deal of turmoil and uncertainty. look, the problem is, at least in my experience, that presidents are really not able to produce change through executive orders alone. h

brianna. >> all right. jeremy diamond, live from tel aviv. thank you. boris. >> at any moment, president donald trump could slap a 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum entering the united states. the president vowed to officially announce it today. and this is a move that would have a major impact on canada, which accounts for nearly a quarter of the steel imported by american businesses. canada is also the leading supplier of aluminum to the united states. let's discuss with jagmeet singh. he's a member of the canadian parliament and is currently running for prime minister. sir, thanks so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. i want to start with this argument from president trump that without the united states, canada is not a viable country. what's your response? >> that's just not true. >> it's not true at all. and if you think about it, what we just what you just listed out in terms of facts. the united states relies significantly on aluminum. the aluminum that we supply is not something that can be made in the united states. and so putt

hi, brianna.and we got we just got a sign. >> of life. >> like like. >> you said. >> from the hostages. >> who came back. >> in this current deal. and we got it through our idf officers who accompany us throughout this ordeal of a year. and almost a health now. and we didn't get much. we just got to know that they are alive. the release is so both of them, but they are separated. and we knew that they were separated from november from the first deal in 2023. and back then the release was just in the first deal. sodom, saw them alive and separated, but now we have confirmation that throughout this year, a more hostages saw them. >> and we see the pictures of them, you know, so full of life, so much brotherly love. you can see between them just in the photos. did did you hear how they're doing? >> no, we didn't get much. we just heard that they are alive and separated. that's all a we saw two sets of of hostages, hostages released in the past couple of weeks. the first stage was like emily, romi, do

. >> for those details, brianna. >> and here with us now is randi irwin, the president of the national federation of federal employees, which represents more than 100,000 government employees across many different government agencies and departments. randi, thank you so much for being with us. and i do want to note, you've called this resignation deal, this buyout a scam. you've warned federal workers against taking it. tell us why. >> what this administration is describing. >> as. >> the deal they're offering is not the. >> deal they're offering. when you read what the. contract says. they're making it sound like federal workers are going to be. >> put on administrative leave and. >> paid until the end of september. >> there's no guarantee of that. they're probably. going to have to. >> continue working. >> so it's. >> not that. >> we're opposed to it. all of the union attorneys have looked. >> at it. >> there's a consensus among them. and who are you going to believe. >> you can believe this administration that. >> it has. >> is dead set. >> against federal employees and has said the

brianna. and one of the things that we can definitely ascertain is that the russians are pretty happy with the way that this call between vladimir putin and the u.s. president went down. in fact, the spokesman for the kremlin texted me after they had a conference call with journalists to sort of give the readout from the russian side and said that the conversation, as he put it, was quite positive and constructive. so clearly, the russians quite happy with the way that things happened. now, when we delve into that readout, it certainly seems that both the white house and the kremlin pretty much are saying the same things. but the russians seem to have a different emphasis on certain things. one of the things that really stood out to us is that the russians are saying, and i'm quoting here, the topic of settlement in ukraine was also discussed. president trump spoke in favor of an early end to hostilities and a peaceful solution to the problem. and here's the interesting part, i think, is presi

brianna. >> yeah, and that is a big one. fred pleitgen, thank you very much for the report for us. >> and more breaking news overseas. the backdrop for this call between trump and putin, secretary of defense pete hegseth meeting with members of nato for the first time, telling european leaders it's time for them to step up and recognize the world has changed we want, like you, a sovereign and prosperous ukraine, but we must start by recognizing that returning to ukraine's pre 2014 borders is an unrealistic objective, the united states does not believe that nato membership for ukraine is a realistic outcome of a negotiated settlement. >> instead, any security guarantee must be backed by capable european and non-european troops. >> joining me now to discuss is the former deputy assistant secretary of defense for russia, ukraine and eurasia, evelyn farkas. she's also the executive director of the mccain institute. evelyn, thanks so much for being with us this afternoon. first, i want to get your reaction to the release of alex

i'm boris sanchez alongside brianna keilar in washington, d.c. and at any moment, president donald trump is expected to hold a joint press conference with japanese prime minister shigeru ishiba. live from the white house. >> and cnn's kaitlan collins is there. caitlin, the president likely to face some tough questions as the administration pushes forward with its federal worker crackdown. tell us more. yeah. >> they've been praising that deadline that was extended because the judge who blocked it from happening last night and going into effect, they're saying that the fact that it's extended until those legal arguments can happen on monday actually benefits them. we know the numbers last night were about 65,000 federal workers who had decided to take that. what is being described essentially as a buyout here. we'll see what happens with those legal challenges that have been running head first into president trump's agenda. but right now, we're here waiting for him to come out with his second world leader that he has met with this week. this time,

thanks, brianna. >> and let's talk now with billy nolan, former acting faa administrator. he's currently the chief regulatory affairs officer for archer aviation incorporated. he also flew army helicopters and was a pilot for american airlines. billy, thanks for being with us. and maybe you can give us a sense of what we should be expecting here, because the ntsb will be holding a news conference here in the next few hours. they have this data recovered from the black hawk helicopter. they will be releasing. what information might we learn? what might we not learn? >> yeah. >> well, thank you for having me on today. >> i don't think. >> we will learn. >> today at this briefing that you will have a definitive answer. you know, once, once they've got the data off of the the black box for the, the black hawk, it will take them time to look at that, to transcribe that, to make sure that they've got that exactly right. and this is just a part of what's a very methodical process. and i know there's this really, really need and want for desire for answers. but it is critically im

brianna. >> all right. stephanie elam, we know you'll continue to follow this story. thank you. boris. >> the first jobs report of 2025 is out. and the numbers for january not quite what economists had expected. the labor market added only 143,000 jobs, though the unemployment rate dropped to 4%, which is historically low. cnn's matt egan is here to crunch the numbers for us. matt, how do you read them? well. >> boris, january. >> has a. >> long history. >> of being. >> a messy month. when it comes to jobs reports. and this one definitely lived up to that reputation. there's a lot of conflicting signals here, a lot. >> of. >> moving parts. let me go through the numbers 143,000 jobs. >> added in january. >> that is worse than expected. and as you. >> can see on that. >> chart, this was a big slowdown from the gangbusters growth at the end of last year. december was revised upwardly to 307,000. so this is less than half of that pace. digging into why. >> this happened. >> economists had been bracing for a slowdown, in part because of the los angeles wildfires and the extremely col

brianna. >> i certainly snapped to attention with that question. and one of the one of the key things here is that we've been fighting for are the due process rights of the agents. and if someone did something corrupt or illegal, they can be held accountable. but we certainly want, you know, it to be a fair process. and as mr. patel testified, he said all employees will be protected against retribution. and we're certainly going to hold him to his word on that. >> all right, mike, stick with us. we'll be right back after a quick break with more on what was a pretty eventful press conference there at the white house. >> cnn news central, brought to you by viking. exploring the world in comfort. >> when it really philosophize about it, there's one thing you don't have enough of, and that's time. time is a truly scarce commodity. when you come to that realization, i think it's very important to spend time wisely. and what better way of spending time than traveling? continuing to educate ourselves and broaden our minds. >> viking. exploring the world i

brianna. >> the clock is ticking for staff at the u.s. agency for international development. employees around the world will be placed on administrative leave friday in order to return to the u.s. the directive comes as the trump administration has begun dismantling the agency and has frozen almost all foreign aid. secretary of state marco rubio says he is acting administrator of the agency, confirming the day facto takeover by the state department. when asked about the future of the agency. here's what president trump said from the oval office. >> it sounds like you're. >> going. >> to wind. >> down. >> usaid. >> which sounds like it. >> now, if usaid is winding down, that would end a decades long mission for the agency, which was created by president john f kennedy at the height of the cold war, kennedy wanted to use foreign assistance as a way to counter soviet influence. ironically, the agency would eventually outlive the soviet union. fast forward to today, with the u.s. spending roughly $40 billion in foreign aid annually. sounds like a lot actually accounts for less th

brianna. >> all right. jeremy diamond, live for us from tel aviv. thank you for the report. boris. >> turning now to russia's war in ukraine, president trump says he's spoken with russian president vladimir putin about the war and claims that putin, quote, wants to see people stop dying. in a new interview, ukraine's president says he is ready to negotiate with putin if the united states and europe provide security guarantees. and just a short time ago, he announced that, quote, some serious people from trump's team are visiting ukraine this week. cnn chief national security correspondent nick paton walsh has covered the war extensively. and nick, you write that very much could go wrong as trump pushes for an end to this conflict. >> yeah. look, i mean, the choreography of how this is coming together is fascinating and abnormal. i think it's fair to say we've known that at the munich security conference this friday and saturday, the envoy for ukraine for president donald trump, keith kellogg, is likely to present to allies parts of his plan here. but then suddenly we have th

. >> brianna, thank you very much. julianna tatelbaum live in our london newsroom, taking one more look at us futures. again, we're seeing big declines across the board. we just showed you a short time ago. red arrows across the board when it comes to the us futures for the s&p, the dow and for the nasdaq. right now the dow looks like it would open more than 600 points lower. we're also seeing the spike in the canadian dollar and the mexican peso compared to the us dollar, and a fall in the euro that is pushing it to parity with the us dollar. let's discuss all of this now with greg branch, founder of branch global capital advisors, a financial consulting firm, and james pethokoukis, an economic policy analyst at the american enterprise institute. both are cnbc contributors. good morning to both of you. thank you for joining us on this day. >> good morning frank. >> greg, why don't we start with you take a look at us. futures under heavy selling pressure. i want to ask you why the president telegraphed all these moves
