hello and welcome to our viewers joining us here in the united states and all around the world. you are watching cnn newsroom, and i m rosemary church. just ahead, russian warplanes accused of taking down the u.s. drone over the black sea. u.s. officials say it was reckless and unprofessional. we ll look at how moscow is responding ahead. and we re tracking two major coastal storms in the u.s. more flooding in california and a nor easter dumping snow on the east coast. plus, u.s. stocks appear to rebound following the collapse of silicon valley bank. this as federal authorities launch investigations into the bank s failure. live from cnn center, this cnn newsroom. with rosemary church. good to have you with us. well, russia is disputing a u.s. claim that one of its fighter jets hit a u.s. drone, forcing it to crash into the black sea near ukraine. the u.s. military says russian warplanes intercepted the american surveillance drone on tuesday, dumping fuel on it, a
and that the russian pilots were just provocative and incompetent amateurs. make no mistake. this was no accident. i can guarantee you that vladamir putin personally signed off on this military aggression. here s our very own gennifer griffin. i d just like to get your reaction to what happened today in the black sea. pissed off. i mean, just be honest about this for a second. the report coming out of our government is that this was an unprofessional act and environmentally unsound. i m sorry, folks. they shot down a united states warplane. they took it out of action. that s the response we get back? not very happy about it. bottom line is we cannot allow that to happen. hannity: that s right. we can t allow this to happen. russia and putin s hostility and aggression against our country, the united states, has now reached a dangerous new height. now tonight the question is this. what will your president, joe biden, do? is he going to offer maybe another waiver for the n
fresh calls for voting protections. this has been a theme throughout his administration and one in which he will use this opportunity in selma to call for that. again, the white house says that president biden will be delivering remarks when he is there. he wants to make sure that we are not erasing history, we are commemorating it. that s what the white house says about his remarks. also, he will note that voting rights is integral to economic justice and civil rights for black americans. so those are the through lines for his remarks, but he is also expected to cross the bridge. this is something that happens each year, each anniversary. of course, it is an important moment, one remembering 1965 that led to blpolice attacking voting rights activists and he led to the passage of the voting rightsing act of 1965 and it is an opportunity for president biden to call on that while he tries to elevate those calls for voting protections and one in which again, as you mentioned, he
schultz. on putin s war in ukraine, on whether ukraine and russia should start talking about a peace deal and about the future of europe itself. and chevron ceo mike worth on the present and future of oil which still powers our world. also, just where did covid come from? the so-called lab leak theory just got new life this week. we ll follow the facts with dr. lena wynn. but first, here s my take. we are often told that america is deeply divided, that polarization makes it impossible for us to make any progress in policy, that our country is so internally conflicted it cannot project unity and strength to the world, but on the most important policy issue confronting policymaker, the problem is closer to the opposite. washington has embraced a wide-ranging consensus on china that has turned into a classic example of group think. to watch tuesday s hearing held by the new house select committee on china was to be transported back to the 1950s. members of both partie
have access to an abortion pill. this hour, president biden will announce he is running for a second term as early as next tuesday. the anniversary of his 2020 announcement will that set up a rematch with donald trump and as we celebrate earth day tomorrow, i ll be joined by white house special presidential envoy john kerry as the u.n. secretary-general criticizes the biden administration s progress in reducing greenhouse gases enough to avoid a disastrous outcome for the world. good day, everyone i m andrea mitchell in washington where the clock is winding down on that supreme court s midnight deadline tonight to announce what he s going to do about controversial lower court rulings that would severely limit access to the most widely used abortion pill the justices have been meeting in their regularly scheduled friday morning conference where the issue is expected to come up a decision could be posted at any moment options include the court could grant a full stay send
