Thats when 808592400 two visits to the border to politicians hoping to win the white house in november, donald trump and joe biden, both in Texas Gracian emerges is the issue that could make or break their campaigns for president in texas grappling with the biggest wildfire in state history, 1,000,008 thinkers burned so far in this one, authorities trying to grasp the scale of this crisis and the fire is only 3 contained plus a day unlike any other leaped february 29, why does it exist . And what would happen if we got rid of it . Two words, how under chaos, were going to discuss with one of my Childhood Idols were following these many of these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to Cnn News Central A High Political Spectacle Playing Out In Texas right now, President Biden and former President Trump both visiting the usmexico border as immigration becomes a top concern for voters, for biden, this is marking a shift in approach. Hes looking to go on the offense after republican stymied a bipartisan bill that would have delivered some of the most substantial Border Reforms in years for trump today marks a continuation. Immigration has been central to his political identity. And for years hes tried to stoke fear around the issue often by spouting falsehoods about migrants we have both visits covered. Priscilla alvarez in brownsville, texas, Kristen Holmes in eagle pass. Priscilla to you first, what are we going to see and hear from biden here in the coming hours . Well, brianna, were here in the brownsville Border Patrol station where the president will deliver remarks. The podium behind me later this afternoon, and the white house is billing these remarks as a way to hammer republicans on congressional inaction when it comes to immigration. Specifically, that border, that Senate Border bill that was worked on in said between Senate Negotiators and white house officials that included some of the toughest Border Security measures. In recent memories. But the backed away from that deal at the encouragement of former President Donald Trump. And that is exactly what President Biden is going to go after today. Hey, take a listen to what White House Press secretary Karine Jeanpierre had to say about it this morning folks who are getting in the way here are republicans. They are getting in the way, and they are doing it because of what donald trump is telling them to do for their own, for his own political gain. And so this is where we are right now. So the present is going to take it directly to the American People now the fact that the president is here at all is notable. The last time the president visited the us, mexico border there was in january of 2023. But whats happening now appears to be this dramatic stripped by the white house to seize on an issue that up until this point was a political liability. Of course, this is an administration that has grabbed coupled with surges along the usmexico border multiple times. One that when it was discussed within the white house sources tell me was always a tense topic, but now white house officials and Campaign Officials see an opportunity to go after republicans really flip the script on them and trying to take advantage of the fact that republicans walked away from what they say would have been a solution for the problems on the us, border. Brianna all right priscilla, thank you. And kristin today, former President Trump, also on the border arguing he can fix it just a few weeks after he got republicans in washington here to reject a bunch of tighter Border Measures that were previously on their wishlist and on his yeah, brianna and he said that it wasnt for political reasons. He said that that you just wanted a better deal. But as you noted, so much of that was his list originally, but i do want to show you what hes going to do here. Its going arrive any minute here in eagle pass and to take a step back so you can see behind me, this is not the area where most of the migrants are crossing thing, but it is a political flashpoint. It really is the epicenter of this standoff between Governor Greg Abbott of texas and the Biden Administration on who takes over Border Security. You can see beyond this, theres members of the National Guard here. Theyve set up these train cars with razor wire. This is all governor abbott. He is also used it resources to put what razor wire on buoys in the rio grande, which is just beyond what you can see here. Hes going to tor this facility, donald trump, with the governor. Hes going to be briefed by the National Guard and really try and push forward his rhetoric on immigration because this is the type of Law Enforcement that he would have in a Second Administration that is what he has said a time and time again. Now again, we expect them any moment here he landed just a few minutes ago, he stopped by the cameras to deliver a quick message. This is what he said whether a beautiful day, but a very dangerous border. Were going to take care of it. Thank you dangerous border. That is what you expect to hear from him all day today. Hes going to give remarks. Hes going to also sit down for an interview later. But thats what hes going to hammer home. Hes going to link the border, link the crisis at the border to various crimes that have been allegedly commit by undocumented migrants. Its going to talk about the death of the uva students the suspect there is an undocumented venezuelan migrant. He wants to again, as you said, use that divisive rhetoric, used that fear stoking rhetoric. Hes hes done it since 2015. It helped usher him into the white house in 2016, and hes hoping it does it again in 2024 all right. Kristen will see. Thank you for that. Boris. So today, much of the attention is on the us side of the border, but cnns david culver has been getting the view from mexico. David, youve done an extensive reporting on the Immigrant Experience im wondering what the view from that perspective is of this Immigration Fight thats been playing out in the United States yeah, boris, weve made multiple trips South Of The Border and im always amazed by the level of desperation and determination. And i say that because you look at all the policy that will play out on the us side and people are obviously focusing on it for good reason including the migrants, migrants we have been on, as you see, there trains with weve been on the long arduous theres journey alongside them, hearing from them as to what their focused on it, and theyre looking at those shifts in policy. We saw that around title 42 a year plus ago and theyre wondering how that might affect them. So what do they do in these moments . Well, theyll often turn to what they believe can be a certainty and what that has been in recent months and years has been cartel smuggling. And thats been a huge business for these cartels. And it gets extreme. I mean, just about a month ago, we were patrolling along the Pacific Ocean with cbp. That tells you how extreme its gotten for some of these migrants. Therell be willing to go out onto the ocean in the middle of the night and attempt to cross into the us and to do so, of course legally. But at the same time for what they feel will be a better future. And you hear that time and time again. So i think when we see these moments of what seemed to be Major Political moves that could be imminent. And perhaps one party dominating over another we shouldnt be lost on us that migrants are looking at this too, and theyre looking at this in a way of saying, okay, how then can we find that certain way to get into the us . Because it doesnt stop them from wanting to try. The other aspect of this is of course, the frustration from mexican officials and weve seen that time and time again. They have tried to build up now along there are border are us Southern Border putting National Guard troops there, monitoring very closely. And youll even hear from some of the migrants who say, were more terrified about getting caught by mexican officials, then we are us officials. And so theyre hoping they can just scoot past some of the mexican officials, get into the us and then they feel like they can easily plate, get in line and claim asylum. So a lot of this is a frustrating factor for natalee, the migrants who will then try to figure out their way and but also officials and then you think of a broader picture, boris, and that is the regional issues. And they say if you really want to stop this, youve got to go to the source of it. I mean, just being an ecuador in the past few weeks, you see disruption there, instability people who for years never wanted to leave what was known as an island of peace, are now looking around and said, well, we may need to leave ecuador. Well, where are they going to go, boris . A lot of them tell us, well head north so it shows you regional stability is huge and tried to tackle this yeah, david, you alluded to that desire that you and i know well, through personal experience and end our familys experience of immigrants who seek shelter in this country as a beacon of hope for so many reasons do you get a sense and speaking of migrants that policies here in the United States might actually alter their decision to make the journey and to take that complicated step of seeking a different life in the United States i think it comes down to the level of desperation from which theyre fleeing. And it is at an alltime low for many of them, boris, a lot of these folks have interestingly enough, if you look at a country like venezuela, if theyve left, they actually left venezuela up several years ago and theyre currently in colombia and then realizing instability where they are now is forcing them up so i dont see anyone looking at us policy and saying, well, they may block us, so well give up. Not the case. Theyll figure out another way yet, and thats where it gets concerning, especially for officials who are monitoring those more dangerous points of entry, namely even coming up with the Pacific Ocean when we solve that and went along with cbp in the past few weeks to see how they have to monitor the ocean at night for people who will be dropped off on jetskis. Some of them will be dropped off very far from the shore and have to figure out a way to swim in many of them dont make it. So it just shows you that that determined the nation is fueled by the desperation. And this is some of those images right there. This was actually in la jolla a couple of weeks ago. If they come on boats like that, onshore and they run off, but it is not without its risks. And a lot of them do not make it. So it, it seems to be that if you try to close one entry point and you think that just shutting the door is going to do it. Youre missing the Bigger Picture and that Bigger Picture seems to be a needed regional approach to solve this at its source yeah, that Desire For Freedom and prosperity for so many migrants undeterred by policy. David culver very much appreciate the perspective. Thanks. Thanks, boris of course. And joining us now we have cnn senior political analyst mark preston on what does it stake politically here. And i mean, the numbers show markets a lot. You got this new gallup poll. It finds 28 of americans rank immigration as their top issue. And thats up 8 here just in the last month. Thats quite a jump hows this affecting the race well, i mean, this is going to be the issue heading into november for republicans, much like democrats are going to try to just hammer home on the abortion issue. You look at some of the rhetoric that President Trump has used over the past couple of years, over the past couple of months in the past couple of days, he describes immigrants as poisoning our blood right now, he has said that he has talked described this Immigration Crisis as an invasion of folks coming across the border. Hes talking about deportations, detention camps like this is all very, very strident rhetoric and its, its really designed to appeal to those hardcore maga supporters that want donald trump to win again. I just want letter excuse me. I just want to let our viewers know we are watching President Biden now in brownsville, he said to get a briefing there from officials on the ground. I believe i saw secretary alejandro mayorkas, the dhs secretary alongside him. There mark, what do you make of the politics of all of this when it comes to the next election, in the context of how this works out for democrats, i was talking to congressman Henry Cuellar from the border in texas earlier, and he was essentially saying that hes been urging democrats to be more vocal about Border Security and tackling this issue more aggressively. How does this potentially play out for them . I mean, it doesnt play out very well right now. I mean, if you look at the headlines, even though weve seen dpp4, excuse me, weve seen crossings go down over the past month and they were at their record high in december. This is the issue that people were talking about know anecdotally, you know, if you leave Washington Dc or probably you dont even have to leave Washington Dc see anymore because were seeing a lot of these immigrants that are coming into the major cities. We know new york citys having an issue right now with democratic mayor. He cant handle right now, its too much for him. This is a very tough issue for democrats and democrats probably do need to Start Talking about more Enforcement Mechanisms and we did hear President Biden say that he would use Executive Action to try to do some things at the border but that was really predicated, i think on whether or not congress would get something done and guess what happened. Donald trump told the house and the senate, republicans i dont want to see a border deal, even though there was bipartisan support yeah. So biden is trying to hammer trump on. Look, youre the one who got in the way of this bipartisan border deal that had been worked out in the senate between democrats, republicans, white house. But then on the flip side, i mean, we all know that its almost impossible to really pass policy during an Election Year thats just the reality that you face when youre in the white house. So who wins in that argument . Do we have a sense of that . Well, electorally perhaps republicans were able to use that to their electoral advantage be able to hold the House Of Representatives take back the United States senate, take back the white house. Now, thats a political win, but in reality, nobody wins right . Now. We see the conditions that are, that were going under. I mean, these are human when beings, these are folks coming across, but at the same time, we have to acknowledge it. And i think from your interview last hour, that was wellstated, the fact that the matter is we do have communities along the border that are getting swamped with this and you know, us living hundreds, thousands of miles away from where thats happening its a lot easier for us to tell them what to do but theyre the ones that have to do it. Two degree mark quickly. Would you say that that shift that weve seen from eric adams, for example, among some democrats partly its due to republican governors like greg abbott and ron desantis that have moved migrants from the border to sanctuary cities, would you say that thats been an effective step . I would say one of the silliest things that ive ever seen is when ron desantis gotta jet, put migrants on it and fluid up to cape cod basically. Right. But you know, fluid up today, im talking the fact of the matter is though its silly as that was he did hit home a point that we have seen now to the point weve talked about eric adams saying, look at the Sanctuary City things just not working like we cant do it. But he did make a point when he did that. Every state feeling it mark preston. Thank you so much. Thanks.

Wants to go see that get your Business Online in minutes with Godaddy Arrow the lead with jake tapper, cnn to date for a horrific scene out of gaza today and different versions of what actually happened. We want to warn you some of the footage were about to show you. A bit graphic the Palestinian Ministry of health says more than 100 people were killed nearly 800 others injured. When Israeli Forces opened fire as people were gathering at aid trucks. Now, cnn is unable to independently confirm those numbers and i witnessed says that the gunfire triggered panic and chaos and confusion ensued. The Israeli Military is saying that their troops opened fire, but they did not strike toward the aid convoy. Cnns Jomana Karadsheh joins us now, jomana, this is all happening as Gaza Health Officials say that 30,000 people have been killed in the war since it started soon after october 7. What are we learning about this situation on the ground . Well a grim milestone reached today, and the majority of the 30,000 people who have been killed according to the United Nations International Aid groups its women and children who make up the majority of the population in gaza. And this is coming at the same time, boris, as i cnn, our team here there has been working for six weeks investigating one of so many incidents that have been where civilians have been killed in this war. We spent six weeks investigators in this horrific incident that took place in early january in gaza, where a number of civilians, members of one family who had been sheltering in a warehouse in part of gaza where they thought they would be safe because the idf told them they would be safe and they were killed and what survivors have described to us as this terrifying night, A Night Of Horror and death as they described it indiscriminate. Israeli Military Fire and it took us six weeks, boris, because we are not on the ground because journalists have not been allowed into gaza without idfs courts report on the situation on the ground because of the frequent communication blackouts. So it took us a long time to put this together, but we still managed to track down seven survivors. We also got Satellite Imagery and analyze that. We went through statements and Press Releases from the idf. We spoke to several Forensic Embolus Stick Experts who went through the footage that we had gotten from this cameraman who works with us in gaza. And this really allowed us to piece together the events of that bloody night in which a number of civilians, as we mentioned, were killed, including at least four children. We did start boris by asking the it df about this incident. We provided them with photos of the aftermath of the bodies we provide them with coordinates of the location and what they told us happened was that they say their troops had come under fire and they responded with what they described as a precise strike and they couldnt confirm if those bodies in our footage, were linked to that. Strike or not. Now, our key findings from our investigation, boris is that the idf almost certainly dropped what our experts that weve spoken to who have examined images of the craters, Satellite Images of the crater, who looked at it, dropped a massive 2000 pound bomb on that location. And by its nature, this sort of bomb when used in places where there are civilians, it is indiscriminate because of the massive shockwave that its creates this huge shock wave which Forensic Experts believe is what killed the majority of the civilians in this case. Now another finding was that there were no precautions taken to protect civilians, to get them out of harms way as the idf claims, it always tries to do. People told us they got no warning and that this attack happened all of a sudden the idf in response to our extent sensitive questions to them, said that they had told people in the days leading up to this incident to leave the area. We ask them to provide us with evidence of that warning. They did not provide that. The only evidence we could find was a tweet from or a post on x from the idf hours after this attack took place, telling people that this part of gaza was no longer is evacuation route. And boars we have to mention that following our report, the United Nations has called for an investigation into this incident. The spokesman of the Secretary General announcing that. But also today, the Idf Spokesman, Colonel Peter Lerner speaking with our wolf blitzer he said that this report was not factbased analysis but we would encourage viewers to check out our report read, watch our piece on cnn. Com, and they can see the kind of forensic work that really went into this. But we also heard from the Idf Spokesman saying what weve heard them say in the past as well, is that they are going after hamas is leadership and it is hamas that hides in the civilian arena and that there are quote, civilian consequences our report, morris is only a small window into the vast, undocumented suffering that has been its like did on civilians in gaza. This is the story of one family out of so many that are left grieving traumatized, broken, with no recourse to justice and accountability Jomana Karadsheh.

The Supreme Courts stepping in in has agreed to take up former President Trumps Immunity Claim in his federal january 6, case the court will hear arguments in late april, and that means a trial date before the november election, really now in serious doubt we have seen it and justice correspondent Jessica Schneider with us now on this, a lower court, The Dc Circuit Of Appeals unanimously striking down trumps Immunity Claim. So why do you think the Supreme Court has decided to go this route . Well, this is a really big issue that the Supreme Court has never weighed in on. They havent weighed in on whether a president can be immune from criminal process a situation based on alleged official acts. And thats really what theyve narrowed this question down, that theyre going to be addressing the week of april 22 to were these alleged official acts thats what the president s team has insisted on that the president or the former President Donald Trump was acting in his official capacity all around the january 6 capitol attacks. Jack smiths office has repeatedly said no, those werent official acts. And youre not immune from prosecution, so it is a very important question that the Supreme Court has never addressed, never settled. Theyll do that this year. Its really amazing. And so this is going to affect the timetable here. Take us through that. It will, i mean, trumps team, trumps lawyers have already been successful particularly in this case in delaying this, remember, initially the judge in this case set the beginning of this trial for march 4, that would have been monday. Obviously, thats not happening. Thats all on hold. And its gonna get pushed back significantly. The court will hear those arguments sometime the week of april 22. They likely wont issue a decision until mid late june. And then even then, the judge in this case had said, even when i get the greenlight to proceed, were still going to need probably about three months to go over pretrial motions. So three months before really, the trial could start, which would put this likely in late september as the earliest that this case would start. Were butting right up to the general election at that point with the presumptive nominee here. Yeah, those pretrial motions and Anything Else . That could delay this very key here, jessica. Thank you for that. Boris lets discuss this with Renato Mariotti. Hes a former federal prosecutor. Renato, thanks so much for sharing part of your afternoon with us. We know its a busy worn for you. I want to get your perspective on the phrasing of the central question that the Supreme Court has decided to take up. Lets actually look at it. It says, quote, whether and if so, to what extent does a former president enjoy president ial immunity from criminal prosecution for conduct alleged to involve official acts during his tenure in office does that give you any indication any window into how the justices are already thinking about this case it really does for us you know, when this argument first was taking place in the court of appeals, i was not alone in scoffing at a lot of the arguments made by trumps attorneys. Because if you remember trumps attorneys were essentially saying that if the president ordered Seal Team Six to assassinate joe biden, that that would be subject to president ial immunity. Things along those lines very silly argument with the cream court done is done here is theyve actually refined his argument for him. Notice that those words, to what extent, right there basically saying boris, that theyre going to determine how expansive president ial immunity could be. Donald trump truths out absolute immunity wants immunity for everything. What the Supreme Court i think is saying areas they may find some amount of immunity for a president for actual in office, but its gonna be limited in scope. Its going to only potentially involve certain activities and not others. So you could understand that thats something that they, if they end up going that direction, then whats gonna happen is this is going to get remanded down to the district judge. That judge chutkan, who is referred to a moment ago, and then she may have to determine whether or not the allegations the indictment fit within that ruling, further delaying the proceedings. Yeah. So in terms of the timetable for when the proceedings could potentially kick off, if the Supreme Court rules that trump is not immune when do you see that happening . Because arguments are set to start the week of april 20 if it gets expedited as every indication is that it will it could potentially be announced as late as the end of june does that mean a september start date . Yes. So realistically i think youre going to see an announced the opinion from the court out in june, as you suggest it, then its gonna get remanded to judge chutkan. I think shes going to have potentially some factual issues that shes going to have to sort through regarding whether the allegations the indictment fit within the ruling of president ial immunity determined by the Supreme Court. And then theres gonna be all the usual sub youtube before a trial and is you and your reporter discussed a moment ago, real and brianna did realistically, theres all sorts of motions and Lemony Jury Instructions and other issues before trial i just do not see judge chutkan pushing for with a trial in lets say, late september early october, that could potentially stretch all the way up until the eve of election until early november. I dont see that happening is it possible . I suppose, but i wouldnt bet on it and i dont think your viewers should expect that thats going to happen.

Mesothelioma is really all we do. 80087 to 4901 here in the span of just four days wildfires in texas and Burn A Sprawling 2000 Square Miles in the panhandle. This is about the size of delaware that were talking about. The biggest of the five fires now, burning has called the Smokehouse Creek fire. It to become the largest wildfire that texas has ever seen. And the second largest on record nationwide. It has killed at least one woman and 83 yearold grandmother at nearly 1. 1 million acres. The Smoke House Creek fire surpassed the 2006 East Amarillo complex fire, which also scorched the Texas Panhandle one ranchers via both and remembered what happened 18 years ago it was horrible. I mean, it looked like the moonscape. I mean, you know, destroys everything. And but this one it seemed worse. Honestly, it this one was water was about it, but it affected more people, i think and especially the towns cnns lucy kafanov has been traveling through the communities hit by the wildfires here, lucy, tell us what youre seeing today. Well, what im seeing is hopefully not a structure thats going to decapitate anyone in these winds, but this is the aftermath of a property of a local Resident Named janice. We spoke to her. She actually got out to safety to oklahoma where she had some family barely anything left of this area. Shes got another property over here, also completely destroyed she is one of them many residents here in fritch, texas who are left picking up the pieces of their lives. I should note that 2006 fire that you mentioned also devastated this area. So they are going through this again, we met one gentleman yesterday because name is danny williams. Hes a 30 year resident of fritch, texas he was home when that fire rolled through on tuesday and described the terrifying moments even shared some of the video that he shot of those terrifying moments when the flames went down this street as he tried to get away to safety. Now, his home was miraculously somehow in unscathed and all of this, but the four homes across the street has neighbors his Close Friends by now, completely damaged. He also described jumping into action when the flames came through, running across the street to his friend his neighbor, also named danny, knocking on the door, getting that man to safety. Danny survived his home completely destroyed. Take a listen it came this way, really fast and the authorities were trying to evacuate everybody. And smoke was everywhere. He just barely got out he only had the shirt on his back and his dogs. He lost everything now, the wet weather, the snow is going to help dampen the fires a little bit today, but the big question is, how much is going to be left . Warning once this cold front, this weather moves out of the area we are expecting temperatures in the 70s by saturday, we are expecting wind gusts of up to 30 miles house an hour and that could completely a hamper or firefighting efforts and it could also get those small outstanding blazes that werent put out to spread. And we can see from the damage here how quickly and how devastatingly the damage from these wildfires can be. Brianna you know, what a harrowing trip that some of these folks have made trying to escape lucy. Thank you for that report and stay safe.

Lots of people in businesses celebrate leap day in different ways but this extra day always triggers questions about why it happens in when it was created joining us now for answers is Bill Nye The Science Guy . Bill great to see you. Thanks for sharing part of your afternoon with us. Whats the math and the Science Behind leap years . Why do we even have them . It has to do with how many times the earth spins. For how many times it orbits the sun so lets say that this is the sun and this is what, this is the earth. The earth is spinning as many of you know, ive met people in the United States very recently. You think the earth might be flat, or its not flat, everybody anyway, the earth is spinning, going around the sun. You might presume that it would spin an even number of times for every time it goes around the sun our moon spins once for every time it orbits earth. But this is not the case with the earth in the sun and largely due to the friction of tides of the ocean and so on. And the action of the moon. But with this in mind, people realized that they could add a day. Now and then to make it, to make the calendar correspond to the number of spins of the earth and this seemed like a great idea for the first 1,500 years of the modern era. But when you add a quarter of a day every year, so that every four years youre adding day youre adding about 11 minutes, 14 seconds, too much time in other words, as the earth around the sun, instead of presuming its here instead of presuming its here. The earth is actually, theyre not quite as far by 11 minutes from 14 seconds and this this was figured out in 15, 82. Who could forget pope gregory the 13th for october 5, fourth, was followed by oct so if you were a landlord, this is great. You owe me another month. If youre a tenant. No, i dont. And so there were literally war is about it. Now i understand everybody, be astronomical situation days. We use the Constellation Pisces and we have so that we observe it when its on the other side of the sun from us. Now, when you, if you are astrological, when its, if youre in pisces, it means the sun rose through the Constellation Pisces, by the way, this this is not to scale by the way that doesnt make sense. So we could presume or reckon the exact moment of first day of spring would have you with the catholic church, argon deal. But just notice everybody world we live in okay. You can go to an Office Supply store and get a calendar with puppies. You can get a calendar you can get a calendar with puppies and kittens. You can get firefighters, you can get whatever the heck you want, but we all presume that this shear 29 february is going to show up. Yeah. We dont question it and its because of space exploration. Its because of humankinds studying of the night sky appreciating our relationship to the sun and the earth and i like to remind everybody that in the us constitution, article one, section eight, clause eight refers to the progress of science. Science is in the constitution. And to the reckoning and the leap day is part of this big picture of understanding the cosmos and our place within it. Back to you, boris. That was amazing. Bill, that was so much of what i wanted and more, i only have one very quick followup question. You mentioned kitten and puppy calendar is puppy and can kellers is there a bill nye calendar out there . There was two years ago bill. Im all for it. You guys lets do it again. 2025.
