cornish, ron brownstein, kate bedingfield, geoff duncan. thank you. and thanks to all of you for joining joining us i'm kasie hunt, cnn news central starts right now >> homes burned in almost every direction. that's the word from texas as multiple wildfires are burning right now and breaking just moments ago, we just got word that pope francis was taken to the hospital. we're getting new information in on the condition of the 87 year-old pontiff, hunter biden about to take questions face to face with a republican lawmakers trying to impeach his father. i'm kate bolduan with john berman. sara is out today. this is cnn news central >> we are following >> this breaking news. people in texas are being forced to flee communities, burn to the ground. there are multiple wildfires burning in the texas panhandle right now >> that is terrifying. if you come upon that, of course, overnight, the fire called the smokehouse creek fire became the fifth largest fire in texas state history, scorching over 300,000 acres. and right now, it is not at all all contained. it's even crossed into oklahoma also right now, local officials say there's no further information on how many buildings have been damaged. they're really in the thick of it right now. but here's a but to quote, one county official homes have burned in almost every direction we're going to show you some video of how quickly the fires are moving. you're going to see. it just jumps this road. and this is from the texas forest service right here, moving right across that road, the leaving at least one county in texas without power and water. there are at least five fires burning this morning. one major area of concern is amarillo, where there is a nuclear a nuclear weapons facility. we're going to show you images that were taken near the plant showing how close the fires had reached? and last night the facility was temporarily shut down because of the fires were told us back open today. let's bring in cnn's meteorologist derek van dam, and also cnn's lucy kavanaugh is lucy kavanaugh who is in amarillo. lucy. what are you seeing? what are you hearing this morning? >> well, kate, let me set the scene for you here in amarillo, texas. the air is full of thick smoke. it's very difficult to breathe. that makes her eyes staying and burn and that is because of those five separate wildfires that are burning out of control in the surrounding areas. i'm a really i should note is one of the safer places that folks are being encouraged to evacuate tool though even here, one of the neighbor of neighborhoods near amarillo had to be evacuated late last night. now the high winds up, not dry air, you can hear the winds right now is what is fueling these blazes? governor greg abbott? but declaring disaster declaration for 60 counties here in the texas panhandle. that's 60. as of this morning, we are looking at more than 370,000 acres burned. the largest one of those buyers, as you pointed out the smokehouse creek fire that is predominantly impacting hutchinson county. it alone for more than 300,000 acres so far 0% >> contained it is the fifth largest wildfire in texas history. now, the main facility, as you pointed out in the intro, that is simples disassembles, pardon me, america's nuclear arsenal is located about 17 miles northeast from here. that is the pentax plant. it was shut down on tuesday. it is reopen this morning and here is the national nuclear security administration spokesman addressing the issue. take a listen. >> we are responding to the plan, but there is no fire on-site are on our boundary, but we do have a well equipped fire department that has trained for these scenarios. that is onsite watching and ready. should any kind of real emergency arise on the plant site we also have a fully staff emergency response organization mission who has activated >> now, the plant might be safe, but so many counties in the surrounding areas or not. and this is a largely rural area which means livestock has been impacted in some places. it wasn't possible to evacuate the animals. we saw dramatic footage some animals fleeing the smoke, fleeing the flames. the city of fritch had asked its residents to evacuate natural gas was actually shut down in that city on tuesday, residents were asked to limit the use of water so that fire trucks can have access to that. there's another town called canadian texas where the hospital had to evacuate all of its patients. one of the motel owners, they're spoke to cnn. she described the scene as armageddon. there was white ash covering the trees. she had to shut down her motel and get out for safety in another area. >> we saw >> we've heard reports of more than two 100 people sheltering in a church because they had nowhere to go. it is chaos residents are being asked to try to stay safe. and of course, these fires now spreading to neighboring oklahoma. and worse, and we're showing, as you're speaking, we're showing some of the images from canadian texas, from fritch texas where these conditions look horrible from yesterday, we'll see what happens today. lucy. thank you so much. let's bring in derek now, derek, what talk to me about what what what the conditions are. broadly, it's moved into oklahoma, at least it with one of these fires. what are they going to be looking at today? >> yeah kate, the video that we were playing during lucy's live shot was showing extreme fire behavior. it is all driven by the strong winds and advance of a cold front. and during the passage of this cold front, which you'll see now, not only our residents and firefighters on the ground contending with this erratic fire behavior, but so is the agriculture and the cattle. i mean, this is very dramatic footage of cattle just running away. it's simply fleeing for their lives away from the flames, away from the billowing smoke, which you can see in the distance behind it. i mean, that is really, really please saying something about this rural area that is impacting a wide range of industries. now this is a satellite imagery i've very, very important to show what's happening here. this blue line that i'm drawing, you can see it in the satellite imagery is the approaching cold front. those of course are the hotspots. here's the texas panhandle and the winds before the colon what move through. we're moving from the west to the east at about 50 miles per hour. that cold front move through and change the wind direction. and you can see the shift in the fire behavior. so basically that fire takes advantage of the dry fuel conditions. on the other side, and it allowed for this to explode overnight to 300,000 plus acres 0% containment. we've mentioned this already, the fifth largest wildfire in texas history so far. it's already spreading into portions of oklahoma as well. so what does the future hold for the immediate future? winds are dying down. that's good news, but they start to pick up throughout the course of the day to today. and then into the overnight hours again, we're going to monitor that lucy mentioned the thick smell of smoke in the air. will there it is. this is our near surface smoke forecast. you could see where the wildfires are located. there's canadian, there's amarillo, and you could see as the wind direction changes, it will also take the smoke along with it as it moves towards towards the north temperatures today cooler than yesterday, but warm up once again by the weekend. back uk, a lot to watch derek. thanks so much for run through for us really appreciate it. john, with us now is courtney kirksey? she is the children's pastor at celebration family church in fritch texas where i know people have been taking shelter. thank you so much for being with us. describe what it has been like outside the last 24 hours so we opened our shelter are about 11:00 a.m. yesterday. and at the beginning, there wasn't very many people, but then the people did start coming in when the evacuation orders came out. and we had several inside our church as well as several in the parking lot because they had animals and we've had all kinds of animals here at our church as well. but it has been it has been devastating, but yet encouraging just to see the way that community has come out to help us. and even companies here in our town but just being here and being able to help and love on people has been a blessing for our church. >> that that is a blessing. you also say the conditions have been devastating. your shelter and community members. what stories have you been hearing from the people coming in? >> we have heard from we've lost everything to we have a house but most of the people that have come in, they have lost everything and we even have people here that are helping to help with the community that have lost everything. but yet they're here showing compassion and love to one another. >> we have lost everything. people are telling you how are you holding up >> where we're holding up? we have our moments and when we have our moments, we walk away and then we come back together and we're here for the community as they come in our doors. >> when you say people are telling you they've lost everything did you have warning? did you know this was a threat or did the fire has just come in too quickly to save anything? >> they they gave warning to the community to be prepared to evacuate. but with a fire, it's so unpredictable and starting out the day the wind was blowing out of the southwest and then probably about 04:00 it switch to the north. and that sent the fire in another direction. >> you are the children's pastor, as i said, how of the children been holding? >> yes, my fn is the same i do know that there are several community children here that they've lost their house and so i haven't seen any of our children here from our church. they've probably all have been at other houses, but we're going to be here to support them through this this isn't our first time that we've had to deal with a wildfire in our community courtney kirksey, we do appreciate you being with us. we appreciate the work you're doing. i know it must be exhausting, but i'm sure it is valued in the community. let us know how we can help. thank you. >> all right. thank you, john >> okay >> we are following more breaking news this morning. pope francis in the hospital overnight. he's back at the vatican. we're told now, let's get to ben wedeman. he's in rome for us with more the details are starting to come out, ben, how is the pope doing? what's the latest you've learned >> what we know is that he held his general audience this morning at the vatican and at that audience, and we've seen the video of it. he looks as one might expect, an 87 year-old road man who's lost part of his lung to be at this time of winter of the year. then he apparently in the dirt before i mean, at the beginning of the audience, he did say i've got a bit of a cold. and so i'm going to pass to my colleague who's going to read my address after that general audience he was taken to a nearby hospital in the tiber island, the gemelli hospital, where according to a statement put out by the vatican, he underwent diagnostic tests and then returned to the vatican. so it wasn't staying there for very long. he just had those tests. we don't know exactly what but they were but we do know that as of late he has been suffering from a cold on sunday. he did hold his usual audience addressing the faithful in saint peter's square. but then on monday, he canceled all audiences because of flu-like symptoms. according to the vatican tuesday seem to be a normal day. and of course wednesday, it started off normal. he met with our median bishops before addressing this general audience so we know he has not been in the best of health recently, but is this simply a seasonal thing or something more? serious not clear at this point >>

justin, from the biden campaign, after more than 101,000 voters in michigan the democratic primary there voted uncommitted, largely to protest it's us support for israel in the war against hamas this morning, the message from a senior campaign adviser is quote, president biden shares the goal of many of the folks who voted uncommitted, which is an end to the violence and a just and lasting peace that is what he is working towards. it's interesting, this is the first time they've really directly addressed the issue of the uncommitted voters seen as omar jimenez is in dearborn, michigan, were actually in dearborn proper uncommitted, got more votes than president biden that's right. >> i mean, look, here in dearborn. dearborn is home to one of the largest arab american communities in the country and the vote uncommitted movement was led by arab american activists over their disagreement with how president biden is handling the israel hamas more and as you mentioned, yes. or do you look at unofficial results coming from the city of dearborn uncommitted beat joe biden 56% to 40%. now, that's within a total of 11,000 votes. but when you expand that data county-wide here, that numbers over 20 5,000. i mean, you look statewide over 100,000 people voted uncommitted. now, president biden still did win this primary by a large margin. but when you look at the margin that he won michigan by in 2020 that was around 150,000. so obviously a sizable margin there. and the goal of those earlier leading this uncommitted movement was to send a message that president by needs to be doing more to push towards a permanent ceasefire. and you read some of the campaign, the senior campaign adviser reaction, we're getting in saying that they share the goal of many who voted uncommitted to work toward a last it lasting and just peace. but moving forward, obviously this is a message that was set on the republican side though. donald trump obviously took this primary here, but nikki haley got nearly 300,000 votes. around 26% or so. so obviously a sizable margin there adding to her argument that there's still a lot of people who do not want to vote for the former president that said the name of the game here is delegates and time for her is running out. take a listen to some of what she said in reaction to what happened last time >> our goal is to be as competitive as possible. that's the focus of this and all the super tuesday states is, let's just keep going and running through the tape as much as we can and obviously super tuesday is less than a week away at this point, about around >> 15 a little bit more than 15 states will have voting concepts of some, of some sort, more than a third of delegates up for grabs. so that may be the indicator of what the reality will be moving ford, but clearly a message sent on both sides of the party. aisle with this primary here in michigan? >> yeah. message sent and at least from the biden campaign standpoint, you get the sense it is message heard. omar jimenez in dearborn. thank you so much, omar ghraieb, point joining us right now to talk about this as cnn opinion contributor, former house republican investigative committee counsel sophia nelson and democratic strategist joe trippi. guys, thanks for waking up to go through this. >> after last >> night, sophia, you say from what you saw last night reinforce for you that michigan really could be the deciding state in november. what do you what are you honing in on their why? >> yeah. i mean, i think pennsylvania is >> probably going to stay with biden. i think that, you know, some of the other battleground states that we saw in 2,016.20, 20 are probably static. >> i'm very concerned about >> michigan though because biden has a serious issue with the muslim community, right? and we saw that in this uncommitted vote last night, although his numbers were still overwhelmingly over what 85, 90%, almost >> he still, that's it. that's an alarm for him to pay attention to, i think with trump though, trump has gotten nikki haley problem and she's proven and then about a third or more of the republican base doesn't want donald trump. so i do think that admissions michigan is going to be the place that we all have to keep our eyes on on election night. if trump is in fact the nominee. >> that's the case, joe, is that good news or bad news for joe biden if if it's michigan, michigan, michigan? >> i look, it was always going to be michigan, michigan, michigan. i mean, there may be one or two, maybe three other states where that'll be the case. but michigan has been tight the last two presidential cycles. there's been almost no margin of error. and i think the results last night sort of say, yeah, there's no margin of error and they both have areas that they need to shore up or address i'd much rather be biden in this situation, though. i think that it's when you look at the places that he has problems he can address them, he can he can share those goals. he can speak to those voters >> donald trump's not going to >> go to dearborn and tell them i'm going to i wanted to pour it all, all muslims. so, so vote for him. so i don't, it's not like a lot of those voters so likely to go to trump it's whether biden can win them back. and then when you look at trump's problems, over 300,000 voters voting for nikki haley again, this is showing up in state after state a large number of them saying they don't want to support trump in november. i look at a county like walked in shaw walked in plus to nadh. sorry about that where, you know, to give you a enact county trump haley 140 5% of the vote in that county go the other way. hey, biden lost uncommitted, got 17. >> so they >> both it shooter shows both their problem. but this is a place where book problems show up at the same time. it even in washington shot washington. >> the continuing to try to nail it is why i'm so impressed with you, joe at all times well, here what you're getting is that out of last night, there are lots of questions. here is two questions. sophia, of these two questions, what did the uncommitted voters do? and what do you, nikki haley voters do in michigan? which one is harder to answer right now >> i >> biden has to focus on the fact that in 2020 he won by what, about 150,000 votes in michigan, which was really comfortable compared to hilary's laws. of 10,000 votes by 10,020, 16 biden's got to get those folks solidified. he can lose some votes. he can lose, you know, 10,000, 20,000, and probably still be okay. >> but >> i think that the second question you're asking about on the nikki haley side of trump has got a 300,000 deficit and beit he's got maybe 60 thousand votes. he's, you know, kind of toying with looking at the margins. biden's in a better place and i agree with joe 100%. i'd rather be joe biden right now than donald trump. because trump is that a muslim ban. he's talked about doubling down on that. and like joseph was going to do go to muslim communities and say, well, you should vote for me because i'm going to make but have some type of brand, if you will, and you're not an actual physical brand, but we're going to classify you. we may deport you, we may ban your family members, et cetera from coming into the country. so i don't think it's a good place for trump to be. >> but is it enough so far, joe that you see in the statement that john was talking about with omar jimenez, this statement from the campaign, essentially, from the biden campaign, acknowledging really for the first time, the protest effort, the protest vote, and its first time they're really directly addressing the uncommitted what you see in that statement. is that enough to convince the uncommitted? to not stay home in november >> well, i mean, one, it's great to acknowledge it. that's important. i listened. i'm hearing you and i've been working on it and i continue to work on it. and there's still quite a bit of time between now and november. and if anybody can predict what will happen in this conflict will see. but so i mean, i think they're there's the one thing though that's pretty amazing to me is you know, obama had an uncommitted vote of ten this has been about 13:14 percent for biden. it is much larger. why? >> because because the turnout earn out was off the charts in both young people this community, the muslim community. and i think that's great in the end. i think that these are people who will turn out they're showing that i think so the president gets to speak to them the rest of the way knows who has to speak to its arrogance, know who they have to speak to. and yes, some of them will stay home. but i think most of them are going to vote and again, i don't see how at that moment donald trump doubling down against is a real strategy that gets those who do vote to vote for italy, vote for biden, maybe not. >> yeah. and ron brownstein said something interesting this morning was that nikki haley is leaving a trail of breadcrumbs for joe biden to recover. that's what ron brownstein in last night's results. i thought that was something interesting. how long and if he hasn't had time to pick up all those breadcrumbs, i guess remains one of the big questions. it's good to see you guys. thank you. jump. >> interesting, michigan posing a challenge for president biden and joe trippi >> you try to >> pronounce the county we're standing by to see hunter biden arrive on capitol hill, set to testify behind closed doors in the impeachment

impeachment effort against president biden, his son, hunter biden, is headed behind closed doors to face questions from house lawmakers. this deposition has been a long time coming. we've been talking about it a long time and quite a spectacle in the leadup as a biden, he wanted to testify publicly, but republicans wanted to question him away from the cameras. katelyn polantz is with us tracking all of this. so what is going to happen today, kaitlan? >> locate its going down, hunter biden will show up on capitol hill. he will go behind closed doors with two different committees, the house oversight committee and the house judiciary committee. and he will respond to questions from them in their impeachment inquiry of joeen. and as they try and get information about the biden family finances, this has been sought after for so long. there have been there was a subpoena. there were many times we're hundred violet and was challenging republicans to have him testify publicly. ultimately, there was a negotiation that is leading to this day with hunter biden sitting for testimony that negotiation includes the result that he's not going to be videotaped like other witnesses in this impeachment inquiry. and there is going to be at least we believe there's going to be a quick transcript release of this, something that hunter biden's team wanted to stave off any leaks selective leaks about what hunter biden might say now, there will be drama around this, even if we don't see a hunter biden as he's testifying, he always is embracing the theater and the republicans have been wanting the momentum to get them to this point in their impeachment inquiry for so long. now this is the president's side. and they want to ask him about his role on the board of burisma, the ukrainian energy company, and also some of his business ventures connected to china, things that he was doing several years ago that the justice department ultimately investigated and never charged him around. but there is that thing hanging over this it's that fbi informant that was falsely accusing him and joe biden of bribes, and there hasn't been evidenced that house republicans have found linking foreign money directly to joe biden in a corrupt fashion >> all right, so standby to see exactly how this goes down, kaitlan, poland's all over it for us it's gonna be quite a morning, john. all right >> also, this morning, no deal. not yet, which means a government shutdown is still on the calendar, just days from now, this comes after president biden met with top congressional leaders at the white house, senate majority leader chuck schumer said the meeting was quote, one of the most intense he had ever encountered. cnn's lauren fox in washington for the very latest, where do things stand in these talks, laura? >> yeah. you would be forgiven if you feel a little confused waking up this morning because it does appear that speaker mike johnson has sort of changed his mind in terms of the direction that they want to go. he has offered to move forward with a short-term spending bill to get them over this government funding deadline coming friday at midnight. but only if they can get a broader agreement on the spending packages moving forward. essentially, what this short-term deal would do is it would kick friday's deadline to next week the deadline after that to march 22, and then you would have this situation where you would continue to have these staggered dates that lawmakers have to work beyond. but the argument from the speaker's office is this wouldn't guarantee that appropriators know exactly where they are headed. this is the fourth iteration that we have seen of these punted deadlines, however, and it's not clear that this is all going to come together because it does require them to agree on sort of a broader negotiation about what to do about some of these poison pill policy riders that they have been fighting over the same things that have really kept them from reaching deals over the course of the last several months so that's where things stand. it's also not clear how the conservatives and mike johnson's conference will take this news. do they view this as a positive? do they view this as really just kicking the can down the road to the inevitable. i think that remains to be seen. house of representatives is coming back tonight. that is the first opportunity we're going to get to talk to some of them these members, and see how are they feeling about this direction, this back-and-forth from speaker mike johnson will not safest bets in washington has been on dysfunction. the last few months. so the smart money you may be headed there. lauren fox, keep us posted over the course of the day. thank you. >> okay. >> so

president biden now addressing the eu parliament, these audiences, by the way, not available to the current occupant of the kremlin at the moment. so she is really trying to deliver this message internationally that there are ways that the international community can help the cause that her husband started and that she is now picking up. she urged leaders, for example, not to not to give diplomatic notes, but to try to do investigations into the financial machinations of the kremlin to search for what she called members of putin's mafia gang in there countries to try to stop them being able to hide money, to really try to undertake concrete action. and obviously she was making this speech just hours after we learned that her husband's funeral will be in moscow on friday, she

vehicle, according to bloomberg, the tech giant told employees working on the ev project that they will now shift their work on to the company's ai division. cnn's. matt egan joins us now with more details. what are you learning about this map? what's going on? well, the apple car appears to be dead and it never even hit the road. this was one of the most expensive, most ambitious projects in apple history it's called project titan. it reportedly involves almost 2000 employees, right? spending billions of dollars since 2014. all what the mission of trying to build an electric vehicle. but now, according to multiple media outlets, citing anonymous sources, apple is pulling the plug right? they're walking away altogether and they're deciding to plow all of that money, all of those people into the next shiny, bright object. artificial intelligence. now, apple is winning some early praise here the stock did go up a bit yesterday on this news, a veteran tech analyst, dan ives, he says that apple is clearly making the right move here because of all of the struggles in the ev market, ibs wrote a note to clients saying that quote, apple saw the writing on the wall to rip the band-aid off, and it's true, kate, i mean, as you know, sometimes you just have to know when to fold the hand you have now, we should note we did reach out to apple, have not heard back, but we could hear apple ceo tim cook address this issue. as soon as today at apple's shareholder meeting are people saying this is also making a statement on the state of >> electric vehicles in general. >> it is it is. i think this is another sign that the ev market is hitting some significant turbulence. i mean, think about it, demand has not lived up to hype there's a price war trying to lower customers and we've seen for gm and others, they've actually cut their investment and the most telling part of the bloomberg story breaking this news, they wrote, apple had imagine the car being priced at around $100,000, but executives were concerned about the vehicle being able to provide the profit margins that typically enjoys on its projects. so think about that. >> even at $100,000, apple didn't know if it could really make money here. so if you're tim cook, you have to decide between plowing billions of dollars more into the uncertain ev market or going head first into ai, which has almost limitless potential it's probably not that hard of a decision. >> interesting, it's good to see matt. thank you so much right? >> john. >> so after one congresswoman told us that republicans are terrified of

court ruling. but republicans in the senate, they're already signaling that they're going to block it. they argue have you have shouldn't be in the hands of congress, rather, it's an issue for the states. now, in alabama, ivf treatments remain really in limbo in large part services on hold in at least three alabama fertility clinics. now, the state legislature though, is trying to step in two republican state lawmakers have introduced bills to better protect providers from legal peril. democrats in the alabama state house, they're also making moves to better define what frozen embryos are specifically that frozen embryos are not children counter to the supreme court but ruling cnn's isabel rosales is in montgomery, alabama for much more on this and as well, they rally is planned at the state capital this morning of families and advocates. what's happening? >> right? and just a couple of hours, there is an advocacy day rally happening here just outside of the state house. we're gonna have ivf patients, providers, family advocates coming out here to really condemn this alabama supreme court ruling that has led to the shutdown, essentially the pause using of ivf treatments at three critical clinics here throughout the state of alabama. they're going to share how this is limiting their options to continue their quest to build a family and also to push lawmakers to take action to protect ivf we've got here kate is really a series of competing bills these bills really a page or to not, not very long at all, and they're taking two very different approaches to protecting ivf here in alabama. ultimately, both chambers are going to have to agree on a bill on its language before voting on it and then sending it over to governor kay ivey for her signature let's dig into it a little bit deeper. sorry, with senate bill 159. this was introduced by senator tim melson republican. it offers criminal and civil protection to anyone who provides ivf. so that's critical here, because this focuses on the legal protection to ivf providers and it does not address when an embryo should be considered unborn life. in unborn child. now, if that language had been in the bill, that certainly would have been a sticking 0.2 getting any sort of legislation pass now that legislation shan is set to expire april of 2025. a companion bill has been filed in the house. let's also really quickly get into house bill 225. that's on the democratic side this was introduced just last week to declare that any human embryo outside of the uterus is not an unborn child that was sponsored by house minority leader anthony daniels fund tells cnn that he feels confident that if the governor gets an ivf section bill on her desk, she will sign it as well. thank you so much. a lock was gonna be happening in alabama today and that a state house minority leader, anthony daniels and yes, he's gonna be joining us this morning, john, right today, a texas death row inmate is set to be executed for two murders. he insists he did not commit the texas court of criminal appeals objected even contours request for a stay of execution. he says his trial attorneys were ineffective in witnesses lied, and his trial in 2001 texas governor greg abbott could soon will issue a 30 day reprieve family dollar must pay a record $41.6 million dollar fine for keeping food, drugs, medical devices, and cosmetics in a warehouse infested with rats and mice. the justice department says the arkansas warehouse shipped items to a hundreds of stores even after it first got reports of these pests issues in 2020. and starting today in the united kingdom, britain's can see the new bank notes featuring king charles. they are on display at the bank giving one's museum in london. liquid elizabeth was featured on these bills starting in the 1960s. right now, the new king charles cash is just for looking the new notes don't go into circulation in till june just for looking just for looking, it'd be great to see your face on $1 bill i don't know what denominate only a matter of time >> totally totally new this morning. and british judge >> says that says that since since prince harry is not entitled to taxpayer-funded security, when he is in the uk. and because he is no longer a working royal, even though harry himself has insisted that he and his family have been in danger when they visit his home country. cnn's max foster has very latest from london. he's joining us now. >> how significant is this moment? what does this judge's ruling mean? >> talk to us about this? >> well, i just had a message from prince harry's office saying he's going to appeal it, so i can tell you that that's the latest c says he's not looking for preferential treatment just, to explain what's happened here. obviously, prince harry left the royal these working his, his role as a working royal with it came lots of public support. part of that was security from the police. he left up public role. he lost that security. now he says he has a right to it when he visits the uk. so this is a debate around that. i think what a lot of lawyers, on the other side say is looking at this, you're just another vip now, you'll remember the royal family. you're not fulfilling a public role, so you shouldn't get all of those public benefits. and they are offering a bespoke service effectively so think about a big hollywood a-lister coming over to the uk if there's a credible threat against them, then they do get armed police to support them, but it's not a given. harry wants it to be a given. he wants it every time it comes over. he cited that actually for the reason he hasn't boys, kids over to the uk in recent years but we have just heard he's going to appeal it should he have an exemption should he be a completely different type of vip than currently exists? the judge today said he felt it was fair to give him a bespoke security service, so only getting that armed support when there is a credible threat against him when he comes over so interesting, max, it's good to see you. thanks for bringing us that update jump. >> or later today, president biden will issue an executive order aimed to keeping your sensitive personal information out of the hands of foreign governments, health location, and even financial data are legally, legally now up for sale, something

already left the barn. there's so much commercially available data from dating apps iphones fitbits, that sort of thing. that's out there that the administration is trying to batten down patches, but they're realizing that you really need comprehensive legislation from congress to do that. so this is a stop gap measure to make it harder for foreign intelligence services to scoop up data like this. it's been this data is freely available and its longstanding concern that us officials have had that say a soldier at a us military base in the us is it's using a fit that you go for a workout with. that data goes back to
