start with an arrest of historic proportions. it's the first time an american journalist has been detained by russia since the cold war in 1986 the year after i was born wall street journal reporter evan gersh co ceviche. was arrested and is now in custody in moscow on accusations of espionage. he covers russia, ukraine and the former soviet union for the paper. in a statement, the wall street journal said it vehemently denies the allegations from the fsb and seeks the immediate release of our trusted and dedicated reporter. we stand in solidarity with evan and his family. espionage charges in russia can carry prison sentences of up to 20 years. court has ordered 31 year old gorshkov itch to be initially detained until may. 29th the white house says the state department has been in direct touch with the russian government at any moment. now we expect his attainment to be addressed at the white house press briefing. of course, we will take you there when it

begins. evan gives covic is arrest comes as tensions between the united states and russia are already at a high given the war in ukraine. cnn's arlette signs joins us live from the white house and our lead detentions of other americans in the past have led to lengthy negotiations. what are we expecting to hear from the white house today? well beyond and boris president. biden has been briefed on the russian detention of that wall street journal reporter evan gorski, which, but so far we have yet to hear from president biden directly on the matter. we have heard from top spokespeople here at the white house and the national security council, as well as as secretary of state, antony blinken, who have all said that they are deeply concerned about the detention of herskovits. now the white house house has outlined some of the contacts that this administration has been having since his detention. the white house and state department officials were in touch with his employer, the wall street journal last night in the administration has also been in touch with herskovits, his family as well as having officials within the

administration, speaking with russian government officials, i want to read you a bit of a statement from white house press secretary karine jean pierre, who said quote the state department has been in direct touch with the russian government on this matter, including actively working to secure consular access to mr gerst ceviche. the targeting of american citizens by the russian government is unacceptable. we condemned the detention of mr herskovits in the strongest terms, she added. we also condemned the russian government's continued targeting and repression of journalists and freedom of the press. now, one thing that officials say is key in this moment is trying to obtain that consular access to go herskovits so officials can determine his conditions at this time, as well as being able to relay that to his family members as well, just a short while ago. spokesperson over at the state department said that that would be a matter of days they are expecting before they would have consular access to him do some of the security and administrative processes on the russian side. additionally one

thing that has been said in the statement as they have been referring to this as a detention of oreskovic, oftentimes in the past with other detainees, you have heard the white house and the state department say that they have been wrongfully detained at the white house says that that is a process that is currently being evaluated. and under going over at the state department to determine whether they can make that designation. but certainly this just marks the latest flashpoint in the tensions between russia and the united states, including over that war in ukraine, and also the detention of other americans like paul whelan. so in just a short while we're here a little bit more from the white house about any further information they might have on this matter. and paul whalen's family, putting out a statement saying there were deeply saddened to see this arrest are let's signs reporting from the white house. thank you so much. let's expand the conversation now with cnn global affairs analyst kim dozier. she is senior managing editor at the military times, and cnn political and national security analyst david sanger,

who is a correspondent for the new york times. kim i want to start with you and get your reaction to something that congressman adam schiff told our colleague jim sciutto this morning on cnn, saying that herskovits his arrest was essentially the kremlin taking a hostage. kim. i apologize. i thought we were gonna play some of mr chef. um here's the problem doing your job in russia right now can get you arrested. there's usually though, this thin veneer of protection of being an accredited foreign correspondent, especially a u. s correspondent, um and what. the situation that um evan is in now is very scary. i know many foreign correspondents. we've all worried in authoritarian

countries, you know? are we pushing the envelope too far, but there are legitimate questions that any reporter on the ground in russia would like to ask. right now we hear from us and british officials that russian military complex. doesn't have the computer chips that needs for guidance systems for missiles might not have the equipment. it needs to turn out the 1600 tanks that moscow has vowed to produce in the coming year or so. and so evan would have been on the ground in industrial areas, trying to ask those kind of questions and he ran into what it sounds like to me. this this political wall. this this decision to take him into custody. and yes, hold him hostage and the white house now is over a barrel. yes according to sources, david, he had been working on a story and you cut the renberg where he had been apprehended. so large city, russia's fourth largest city, which is to the east of moscow, and he'd been working on a

story, one source of his and colleague of his had told another publication today that he talked to him about and said that it was just a routine story that he was working on, and it involved the war in ukraine, and it involved the wagner group. and the problem here is that any story at this point can fall. under russia's strict espionage act, they really have cracked down on journalists the past few years. evan gives covic is an accredited. western journalists , and yet still they've arrested him. does that tell you that that any journalist now in russia reporting from there is in danger of something similar happening to them? will be on a this is always the greatest fear for all news organizations that keep reporters in russia, china , other authoritarian states. you'll remember that a number of news organizations pulled their reporters out of russia a year ago when a new national security law was tasked that basically

made it a crime. to refer to the conflict. actual military operations that putin term not invasion, for example, um, we've seen a number of reporters filtered back in because the russians did not appear to be enforcing that against american or european reporters. but this is gonna suspect force everybody to sort of re evaluate what the risk levels are evidence that very talented reporter i started his career actually of the at the times. and if you read his economic reporting, it's straight down the middle, he wrote recently wrote of the condition of the russian economy under sanctions. um but anything that reporters asked, can turn into. you know, a charge that you're snooping around in a place you shouldn't be. and you know, boris referred to the 1986

case involving nick dad analog who was a u. s news reporter at the time, and he was actually handed a pile. newspaper clippings that underneath them had some uh, allegedly classified documents. he was clearly set up for this in 1986 . we had hoped those days were over, but apparently they're not. well, notably the reagan administration was able to negotiate for his release back in the late eighties. but kim over to you, you mentioned that the kremlin has the white house over a barrel on this, um, russian spokesperson essentially said that it's premature to talk about a prisoner swap. but what are the options here for the biden administration? well russia doesn't do a prisoner swap until someone has been convicted and sentenced. so that means going through that whole process for evan and his family , um, and a nightmare that can take months. but the other

problem is what they're charging him with these espionage charges , which, of course, the wall street journal vehemently denies. um when the white house was trying to negotiate the release of basketball star britney griner together with incarcerated illegally detained american paul wheelan, russian officials were telling the white house no way because of his espionage charges. that's what makes me really worried. for evan's case, david let me ask you about some of the language. dmitry priske off the way the kremlin spokesperson used today and describing this arrest, he said that even gives covic was caught red handed. the fsb said that they were collecting information constituting a state secret about one of the enterprises of the russian military industrial complex. clearly they had statements ready to go as soon as this was known that he had been apprehended. i can't imagine that this would have been signed off on or approved even the

language itself without vladimir putin, giving the go ahead. hard to know whether or not putin himself was directly involved, and we may never know that. but the language is worrisome. and did you notice that in the us references they never talked about the charges? they never mentioned as being nausea because they're trying to keep this from hardening into a an espionage charge of formal one, just as kim described for the reasons that came described, so instead, they're saying we just want consular access of referring to him as illegally detained, not arrested. they're not addressing the specifics of the charge, which, of course they journal calls ridiculous and i'm sure that journals right on that. but the issue here is that you can't go about and conduct ordinary reporting about the status of the russian military or its military

industrial complex without asking questions that someone in russia could say is a state secret. and you know that's the difficulty of dealing with an authoritarian regime is not done according you know, i can ask questions about our military production here, and i don't have to worry about whether or not that is going to be considered to be imposing intruding on state secrets, but not the case in in most of the world. and so i think what you're seeing secretary blinken tried to do is to keep this from hardening into an espionage case. well i can imagine newsrooms throughout the country are now questioning whether it is safe and worth keeping their reporters on the ground there. as important as the work that they're doing is he was an accredited reporter who had spent years working there. he had a soviet background his parents had immigrated from the soviet union. it's one thing if it's someone like me, who's banned from the country has been sanctioned, but he was an accredited reporter. and i'm sure this is sending chills up and down reporters back there just knowing that they could be followed by the fsb and the same

thing could happen to them. of course, we'll continue to keep covering the story came dogger and david sanger, thank you so much. the vatican says pope francis is progressively improving after spending the night in the hospital with a respiratory infection. the 86 year old tweeted out this morning i am touched by the many messages received in these hours and i express my gratitude for the closeness and prayer. cnn's delia gallagher joins us now live from rome. delia bring us up to speed on the pope's condition. so boris we just received in the last few minutes. the evening update from the vatican, which they say that doctors have diagnosed bronchitis for the pope. and they have through an i've given him antibiotics to which he is responding well, they say there is a clear improvement and should the situation continue to progress. he could be dismissed in the next few days. that's the

latest and that obviously supports what they told us this morning, which is that the general situation of the pope has been improving that he rested well last night. his rooms are just up here behind me. it's a bit dark. i don't know if you can see them, but they're the top floor has about five windows there where he resides. they said he was able to eat breakfast, read a newspaper and even do some work. so obviously the vatican also trying to reassure people that the pope is well, certainly these few more details. tonight that he has a bronchitis. of course, we know that he had respiratory difficulty in the past few days, which caused him to come here yesterday to the gemelli hospital. busy week coming up for easter week, starting this sunday on palm sunday, so we'll have to see how the pope progresses exactly when he will be let out, but certainly reassuring news this evening. from the vatican, boris bianna. yeah all those details are indeed reassuring. delia gallagher. thank you. and joining us now, doctor, say, jew , matthew. he is a primary care

physician in atlanta. doctor. good to see you so from what we have just now heard from the vatican and their statement saying that he is progressively improving. the pope actually tweeting himself for the vatican sink has been reading newspapers . he went back to work. despite the bronchitis diagnosis. would you say that this is encouraging news on his healthcare front? you know, very encouraging news in an elderly patient who was recently diagnosed with a respiratory infection, whether it's bronchitis or pneumonia. you look at the clinical picture of the clinical picture is how is the patient in iraq ting with staff around them? are they alert? apparently he was doing some office work and even went to a capital close by. so that is really good news and you know, beyond the elderly. when you get an infection, you could become disoriented. you can actually be delirious and they can take a turn for the bad, very quickly the fact that he's on antibiotics already in the sd

to watch him and make sure that he continues to improve. dr matthew you mentioned the complicating factor of his age. the pope also suffered severe pneumonia when he was a young man and had part of a long removed. how might that complicate his treatment? that could potentially complicated treatment and moving forward. it's also why we have to be especially careful with the pope. anytime you develops a respiratory infection because he doesn't have full lung capacity . we don't exactly know why part of his lung was removed. you know he at that point, it was pre antibiotic era and maybe he had tv. we don't know. but the fact that he doesn't have full lung capacity, it's going to be very important to make sure even moving forward that any time he develops any type of a lung infection or bronchitis that he has managed very aggressively.

how it has diagnosis, especially given his age impact palm sunday in the upcoming holy week events. you know, we'll just have to wait and see. i mean, fortunately, so far, we have good clinical indication that he has made a rapid improvement. i take care of a good number of elderly patients, bianna and a lot of times you have that short window of period to make the right diagnosis, and even though he's pointing towards a lung infection, and that's been confirmed by the vatican, you have to think about other infections as well. worsening heart failure if the pope has a history of heart disease. urinary tract infections, other lung infection. so while we know for sure it sounds like that this is a respiratory infection if it clinically continues to improve, i think he should be okay. moving forward with palm sunday and then all ending up with easter sunday celebrations but with with elderly patients,

it's really taking it day to day and you know our to our we certainly hope for a speedy recovery for the pope. doctor severo matthew. thank you so much for the time. thank you. of course up next we're going to take you live to kentucky were nine u. s service members are dead after two blackhawk helicopters crashed overnight. the very latest details on the investigation when we come back . you're doing business in an app driven multi cloud world. that's why youou choose vm ware with flexiblble multi cloud services that enable digital innovation and enterprise control helps you keep your cloud options open. when you have auto glass damage, trust safelitemy customer really relies on his cars, advanced safety system, right, okay, so down, so when he got a cracked

our army investigators saying about how this happened? so beyond that they are still looking into that we have investigators from aircraft safety teams attached to fort rucker, alabama that are coming to essentially look at the scene to determine not just what happened, but perhaps why this crash happened, according to the deputy commander of the 101st airborne division, which all nine of those service members who were killed were a part of they say that basically there was one black hawk that had four service members, and it won blackhawk that had five service members, and they said that the crews were training on a flood on flying a multi ship formation with night vision goggles. he also noted that the helicopters were medical evacuation variants of that black hawk helicopter. said that initially there were four aircraft as a part of this training mission and that one had stopped to refuel and that the other aircraft was ahead of the two that crash. now they say

, they do not know what happened. this is something that happened in air while flying, they say, but there were witnesses on scene who said they heard the crash and saw it fall. take a listen. two helicopters came over. pretty low and all of a sudden, soon as i got older house, something loud, bang and everything. shut down. it's all of a sudden so we jumped. the truck came over here. that's what we've found two helicopters. much like when we have an airplane crash, and we talk about the black box giving information to help determine maybe what happened. we are told that these helicopters have something very similar that they're going to look for computer data that can help. maybe give them better evidence into what may have been happening right beforehand. i asked the deputy commander of the 101st. if there was any sort of signal. was there any sort of alert given or call for help before the crash happened? he said that to their knowledge, there was not at this point

there are still working to identify all of the next of kin . look this is an it's an army community. these are soldiers and while they have notified all of the families of those who have families locally, they point out that many of them their family. their next of kin is not nearby there across the country, and in some cases in this situation, they are in other parts of the world. and so they're working on that, and we intend we expect to find out the identification of those nine who were killed about 24 hours after they complete the next of kin. notifications bianna boris diane . thank you for that update. let's go to the pentagon. now with oren liebermann, or what are officials there saying about the incident? at this point, the pentagon's primary job is to support the army as it waits on that investigation team to arrive from fort rucker that's expected to happen later on today, so there won't be a separate team coming from the pentagon. it will be the army investigating what happened here , just at the top of the press conference. we had a short time ago from the pentagon and press

secretary, brigadier general pat rider. there was a statement. from defense secretary lloyd austin. i'll read just a short part of this, it says. my heart goes out to the families of these service members into the members of the 101st airborne division who bravely and proudly serve our country each and every day in terms of how this played out from here. writer was asked if there might be a larger grounding of the blackhawk force, he said. that depends largely on what the investigation finds, and part of that is up to the commanders to make that decision. but all of it crucially depends on what this investigation finds. so let's listen to what he said here. in terms of any type of stand down for aircraft. none that i'm tracking at this point. of course, that's certainly you know the prerogative of the army and as it manages its aircraft. so a lot of this depends right now on where the investigation leads both the army, the pentagon and the 101st airborne division we've given got no indication of what might have caused this whether it might have been some sort of mid air collision or something involving operations and exercises at

night again. that's all part of the investigation as we wait to find out more on on what led to this horrible crash overnight in kentucky. yeah i'm sure those families will be looking forward to the results of that investigation. oren liebermann from the pentagon. thank you so much. let's get some expert analysis here from cnn military analyst retired u. s air force. colonel cedric leighton joins us now, colonel. thank you so much for being with us talk to us about these assault helicopters and the kind of routine training that likely was underway at fort campbell when the crash took place. yeah boris good with you, and but these are very tragic circumstances, of course. so this kind of training happens all the time. it's very routine for blackhawk helicopters at fort campbell and other installations to be engaged in all kinds of training missions. they operate both in daytime and at night in this particular case , they were, of course, operating at night using night

vision goggles and those night vision goggles. they really you were peripheral vision. because they're really focused on the straight ahead and that that becomes a bit of a difficult situation for the pilots to control their two pilots onboard each of these aircraft and then usually to load masters who are mining each of the doors. so this aircraft, this helicopter has been a mainstay of the army for many years since the 1979 i was first introduced into service and they have, you know a pretty good track record, but the last accident. that they had at fort campbell ran aware of was in 2018 involved two fatalities at that time, but this one, of course, is far more tragic. with nine fatalities. it is horrific, colonel and i don't want to speculate because the investigation is just underway, but knowing what you know about these helicopters and knowing the circumstances, they were using night vision goggles. the

weather was pretty clear, though , so it doesn't appear that this was a weather related issue. at least as of yet, so does that lead you to believe that perhaps this was mechanical error or pilot error? what's going to see beyond a you know, there's certainly a possibility that something could have happened. one of the reports that i heard was that there was an aerial refueling operation going on at about the time of the crash. if that is true, there could be something that you're related to that. that might be an issue in this, but it's really hard to say. you know, the pilots are very well trained. but you know, pilots are also human and mistakes can happen. whether like you said, was very clear at that point in time. so there is , you know, it's highly unlikely that something meteorological caused this mechanical is also very much a possibility. the crews that fort campbell, of course, maintain these aircraft. yeah day in and day out, and

they're very familiar with them. so this is something we will definitely have to wait for the folks at fort rucker to determine exactly what they think happened in this particular case, and that could then result in changes in the flight profiles for this type of aircraft. colonel, you mentioned a previous accident at fort campbell involving this kind of helicopter, and there have been more than a handful of training accidents with blackhawks over the years. i think it goes to show just how risky some of these training exercises are and how true to life they might be. could you speak to that? sure boris. you know the military fighters really the way it trains and it becomes really important for aircrews, especially for black hawk helicopter crews as well as you know, all other kinds of aircraft that are engaged in combat operations to train as realistic as possible. there's a

lot that can be done by simulators were through simulators, but that's not exactly the way things really happened when you're out a, you know, going into really an operational area and fighting an operational mission, so it becomes really important for aircrew to fly actual missions and to get the practice that they need in order to be proficient in all aspects of airmanship, and that's really what what they were trying to do last night. we are thinking of these servicemen. their colleagues in 101st airborne division and most importantly, their families right now and thank them for their service to this country. colonel cedric leighton. thank you. you better be on it. thank you. cleanup efforts are underway in minnesota after a train carrying highly flammable ethanol derailed there this morning, residents were forced to flee their homes amid concerns the hours long fire could cause an explosion. this morning. the

governor insured residents, the situation is under control. they are punctured. they are leaking good news probably is with the relatively frozen ground, um, that the ethanol will burn off. it should be noted that you can't put this out with water that they will put it out with the foam. burlington northern has already made the assessment on this. this will be foam that doesn't contain house the forever chemicals you hear about the potential carcinogens. this will not be that type of phone so there will be a heavy monitoring of this by federal state local authorities to make sure the cleanup cnn's gabe cohen is following all of this for us and gabe. it's no surprise that many residents are concerned. they're given what we've seen with previous derailments in an ohio there. how are officials working to contain this specific scene? yes so beyond. i just got off the phone with minnesota governor tim walz is office. they say the next step to actually put out the fire is going to happen today. that's when crews are

going to shift these rail cars around. we're likely going to see some flare ups. when that happens. i apologize. gabe we're going to take our viewers straight to the white house press briefing on this matter. this espionage charges are ridiculous. the targeting of american citizens by russian government is unacceptable. we condemn the detention of mr covic in the strongest in the strongest terms. we also condemned the russian government's continued targeting and repression of journalists. embassy moscow has engaged the russian ministry of foreign affairs on this matter in the seeking counselor access i want to strongly reiterate that americans should heed the us government's warning to not travel to russia. u s citizens residing or traveling in russia should depart immediately. as the state department continues to advise. now it's been three

days since the tragic school shooting in nashville, and we've heard nothing from republicans in congress about what they will do. to stop our kids from being murdered in our schools and in our communities. in fact, we've now heard a number of republican members of congress that they don't intend to do anything at all. and in north carolina yesterday, the republican controlled state legislature didn't skip a beat and overriding governor cooper's veto on a dangerous bill that makes communities less safe. that's the opposite of common sense. and it is outrageous. as the president has said, we need congress to act now. doing nothing when guns are the leading killer. the leading killer of our kids in america is absolutely unacceptable. we need to pass an assault weapons ban. mandate universal background checks. require safe storage of

guns hold manufacturers accountable. these are just common sense policies with broad public support and republicans. oh they oh, answers to the american people about why they won't protect our kids. they know the answers to the nashville families who lost their three kids, the nine year olds they owe answers to you, baldy, the parents of vivaldi 19 kids. oh, answers to the people in buffalo. who like every other american on a saturday went to the grocery store answers to them and their families that community again. this is completely unacceptable and we need to do everything that we can to protect our communities and to protect our kids. as you all know, tomorrow the president and first lady will travel to rolling fork, mississippi. they will visit with first responders , state and local officials and communities impacted by the

recent devastating storms. they'll serve a recovery efforts and reaffirm their commitment to supporting the people of mississippi as long as it takes . as you know, president biden spoke with mississippi governor tate reeves and members of the mississippi delegation over the weekend. the president also approved an and expedited expedited pardon me major disaster declaration for mississippi and ordered federal funding be made available to support emergency response efforts. secretary of hierarchies and fema administrator deanne quiz. well, we're also on the ground over the weekend, and we'll certainly have more more details on the trip before tomorrow. finally we are heartbroken over the tragic loss of nine brave service members, hearts and our prayers go out to their families. during this very difficult time. as well as those who served alongside them at fort campbell.

the men and women of the 101st airborne division represent the best the best of our nation and play a critical role in our security. we will always honor our commitments to our service members and their families, and we stand with all who are grieving in the wake of this terrible, truly terrible accident. and with that, colleen , you want to keep us off? sure can you tell us anymore about the negotiations to get what's the general reporter out of russia? so as you know, due to privacy concerns, um we are we don't have much more to share at this time. we want to be very mindful of this. i know you guys have heard us say this before. so again, we just want to be really mindful there is a process in place that the state department is running. you just heard from my colleague or might be still speaking at this time at the state department. and so

again, we're just going to be very mindful. um another topic on the um republican led measure to end the covid emergency. um the white house had initially signaled opposition to the measure, prompting house democrats again just to oppose it. and then, um you know, once again went to the house or sorry, the senate. um the president said that he wouldn't oppose it. so i wondered. you know, why was this the white house signaling opposition again and then coming back around and changing minds? should there be improved communications, particularly for house democrats ? who are this is the second time now. so look, we i'm going to do a little bit of a lay down because nothing has changed here . we have been very consistent on this process. so look if the president was planning to veto this legislation, the set would have said, so. that's how the saps work that is incredibly consistent in that way. and certainly members of congress

know that they understand how that works and how that process works as well. but that being said the set was issued in january for two bills that would have lifted both the public health emergency and also the national emergency immediately which, as you know, we oppose we were very public about that. the bill that just passed would only lift the national emergency, which doesn't impact title 42 or covid. authorities like for testing and for treatments. we are in a different place and time than we were in january, so that is something that you all know and have reported. we've been winding down authorities over the last two weeks. i'm sorry over the last two months and the national emergency lifting just a few weeks before the public health one will not impact our efforts to do so in orderly way, and that's what we've been very clear about when we talk about title 42 making sure that we do that process in an orderly way again. nothing has changed. we were very clear with the sap that we put out

back in january. and so we have been very consistent with how we use the sap and how we move forward with it. house democrats . somehow the house democrats aren't getting the message. i guess so. is there a better communication that needs to happen between? the white house and the house. this colleen we have been in regular church and tracking this with the with the house and also the senate leaders since we issued the set back in january, uh and that was , you know, we've always been very clear with them. as far as i said, as far as as early as january. look the president is not going to veto a bill. it will say if a president is going to be a veto, bill will say it in the south, and that's how sap works and we've been very consistent in this past two years. i'm going to go ahead to lucy. i just want to let you know we are thinking about your colleague and clearly he's in our thoughts. and so i'm going to give you the second question. can you tell us anything about the president's reaction to the detention of growth and has the

president engaged with state on next steps or the family at all ? so i will tell you that, as you all know, as i mentioned in my statement, the president has been briefed. he learned about this during the president. presidential daily briefing with his national security team and advisers, who normally provide the daily briefing. i don't have anything else to share outside of that. are you concerned at all? obviously, this is the first attention of the u. s reporter on espionage charges in a very long time. do you think this marked a turning point or a new low for the relationship with the us and russia? so look , we don't we don't we don't have any specific indication that journalists would be targeted. as we know this is incredibly sadly common for russia to detain americans and that's why we've been very clear about about americans are not going to russia. it is not safe for americans right now. in russia, it is a level four. my colleague at the state

department spoke to this just moments ago. again we're going to continue. the state department's going to continue to reiterate that it is not safe at this time to be in russia or to travel in russia. i don't regard to the wall street journal reporter being detained with the administration called this a hostage situation. same same i mean, he's being wrong is being detained and we have been very clear. there's you know, there's no reason to believe that those charges are accurate , the espionage or accurate i don't want to speak beyond that, and certainly we will have more information. when we get it. there are privacy concerns. we just want to be very mindful of how we speak about this. john kirby mentioned this. this is not a new tactic from and russia but this is the first time we've seen russia detaining american following the prisoner swaps that secure the release of trevor reid and brittney griner . is there a concern here at the white house that if the us

continues to engage in prisoner swaps, russia will be emboldened to detain americans. as leverage . so look detaining americans as as my colleague said. my embassy , colleagues said is a tactic russia has used for a long time. it is nothing new when you think about paul whelan. you think about trevor read. they were taken prior to the prior administration under the prior administration, and so, as you all know, we're still working very hard to bring paul home. that is something that we are committed to. you heard that from the president, you heard that from the secretary of state. you've heard that from my colleagues and nsc, and so right now, our best tool to prevent this is to make sure that we are discouraging anybody to travel to russia, and we will continue to be clear about that. but again, this is a tactic that they have been using for some time now. does this complicate paul dealings situation? as you know, those conversations are incredibly sensitive. and so we're going to be very mindful. we are still very much committed and bringing paul home he was

wrongfully detained. we have been very clear about that, but not going to get into details on those conversations are administration reaching out to others for support. for instance, governor bill richardson, who has been involved in other releases before it's that that's a medium ministrations. i don't have any outside conversations to speak to. you heard directly from the state department. this is something that when it comes to these types of events that the state department runs and leads , so i will and also with our nsc team here, so i will leave it to them to speak to that. kareen is it the administration's view that this reporter is being wrongfully held? or is that still a determination? that's so there's a process that the state department runs and we're going to let that process move forward. so not going to get beyond that. okay and then another topic. do you have any response to the article that was written by senator joe manchin? where he particularly the conclusion that he made that the

administration is improperly. putting the inflation reduction act measures into place right now, let me just first say we have a respectful a productive relationship with senator joe manchin, and we are very proud of the inflation reduction act and our shared goals and values that the president signed into law. as you know this past summer and a couple of things that we are increased, incredibly proud of promoting america's energy security, strengthening supply chains creating good paying manufacturing jobs and investing in energy communities and towns across america that have been left behind. you hear the president talked about building an economy from the bottom up the middle out and making sure no one is left behind. this is what the inflation reduction acts shows and proves, and so we're going to continue to work with senator manchin on those shared priorities and values, including reducing the deficit. and the permitting reform, which are both both part of the president's budget. again we are we are very proud of the work

that we've been able to do with the senator, and i'll leave it there. you have any reaction to this federal judge tracking down part of obamacare in particular the part about writing certain preventative character people. a couple of things i do. we do have some things that we want to put out there. doj and hhs are reviewing the decision made by the judge in texas earlier today , but we want to be very clear this this case is yet another attack on the affordable care act, which has been the law of the land for 13 years now, 13 years. in fact, as all of you guys know the supreme court has upheld the legality of the three times they've had to do that three times. in those past 13 years and because of the 150 million americans have access to preventative care like cancer and heart disease screenings. 60% of people use a preventive care service under the every year. that's 60% of americans

across the country. preventive care saves lives. it saves families money and protects and improves our health. this case gets between patients and their doctors. that's what it gets. it should be making. it's yetn that another attack on the ability of americans to make their own healthcare choices. efforts to undermine this requirement are wrong and they take us backwards , not forwards, so the administration will continue to fight to improve health care and make it more affordable for working families. even in the face of these attacks by the special interest groups that we see out there. one on i'm with the show. come on banking. the first one. can you give any sense of when the administration was person formed? this happened and then also, um at the time i was for the first time you guys reached out to your counterparts in russia. this is an issue as you push for constant, so i don't have a specific timeline for you. at this time. i can

tell you that the president was briefed about on this during his presidential daily briefing this morning. besides that don't have any specific breakdown on when the counterparts when state department or nsc connected with their counterpart, but look, this is a priority for this administration, regardless of whether someone has received a wrongful detention designation, the state department seeks counselor access for all americans held abroad, and that's what we're waiting to do . that's what we're fighting for. to get get that council representation for evidence this time. regulatory proposals of president directly towards the banking agencies today repeatedly clear that you guys the agencies had the authority under law to implement those without any congressional legislation. that's the case and if we were taking the former administration for bowling effect, why did you take until a crisis to decide things just say ? unfortunately the trump administration regulators

weakened many important common sense requirements and supervision for regional banks like silicon. valley bank and signature bank. whose recent failures led to that to do that we have experts out there who have said those rollbacks were caused by recent of the recent bank failures. that's what we're hearing from experts out there themselves, so just want to be very clear. it's not just us who were saying that that's what the experts as well are saying so today, the president is urging the banking regulators to consider reforms that will reduce the risk. of future banking crisis, stronger liquidity and capital requirements. annual annual stress test living wills and stronger supervision so again because of what we saw done by the trump administration back in 2018 remember what happened in 2008 and what the obama biden administration were able to do. they were able to strengthen some of those requirements make it stronger, and the trump administration rolled that back , and experts themselves say that because of those rollbacks

that we saw in the trump administration. it led to these recent failures, but experts are saying that before they silicon valley issues as well that this was potentially problematic if you guys have been offered in office for more than two years, why did you make until now to see jeff? a couple of things like the trump nominees had those supervision portfolio at the fed for much of those past two years, so that's one reason the second reason is the fed vice chair bar only arrived in july of 2022. that's a that's another part of that. but you know i am. i'm glad, you know, folks agree with the regular regular regulations and supervision that need to be strengthened. that's what we need to see, and that's what the president has asked the bank regulators to do and the treasury department and that's what we're seeing today. and so the president is committed to make sure that we keep our banks resilient, and that's what you're seeing today. we heard from the pentagon. excuse me. we

heard from vladimir putin's top spokesperson in russia today, saying that haven't herskovitz was caught in his words, quote red handed just from this podium to rebut that. can you say the clarity of lee that herskovits never worked for and does not work for the united states government? i just said the charge of espionage is ridiculous. we cannot. that is not accurate, and we find that incredibly ridiculous and so we're going to be very clear about that. this is something that russia has done all the time many times before, right, which is he ever worked for the united states government, or does he right now, in any form, even put it to bed, i can say is the charges against him. are ridiculous. we have been very clear about that. i'm not going to get into more specifics. we've been very clear in my topper and i was very clear in my statement that those are ridiculous and they're not accurate. and right now we're going to do everything that we can to get more details on this

on the circumstances on the circumstances, and that's where we're going to be at this time. i can't following up on a briefing that just took place across the river. at the pentagon. we heard from the pentagon now that an additional six american service members were wounded, suffering tbi traumatic brain injuries as a function of those iranian backed in the words of the white house attacks on coalition bases in syria right now, how? because iran continues to attack united states targets in american service members right now the effort has been to deter them to stop them. it has not deterred them. so how is that strategy working? and shouldn't there be a higher cost for iran to pay? so look, um i'll say this. we have a variety of tools to protect us personnel and deter attacks. um and we've been we've we will use those tools. we work every day to protect our people and deter attacks. president biden has taken a deliberate

approach, using a variety of tools to reduce risk to our personnel and make clear that we will hold anyone who attacks those responsible. and you've heard that from the president. you've heard that from the administration on down, the president will not hesitate to take action to protect us personnel and interest. air overseas, and he will always take action at a time and place of his choosing, and that is the commitment that the president has to service members and to the american people colleagues, but just to just to push it a bit on that you have been watching white house press secretary karine jean pierre addressing a slew of different issues, but the principal questions coming from reporters circle around evan gersh devic, that wall street journal reporter who has been detained in russia, karine jean pierre, calling the accusations that he was spying for the united states. government quote. ridiculous and calling his arrest unacceptable, though bianna as we were listening very

closely, she stopped just short of saying that he was wrongfully detained, saying at the white house is waiting for the state department to essentially confirm that designation. and there's nothing unusual about that timing there because we've seen that in the past there is a process at the state department goes through before they officially call someone wrongfully detained. we also heard from her. the state department had reached out not only to evan gorshkov itches employer and that's the wall street journal overnight, but they spoke with his family as well. back with us is cnn. white house correspondent arlette signs are like what stood out to you. we know the president was notified. i believe this morning, karine said. it is presidential daily briefing. yes that timeline was actually a little bit of a new detail from that press briefing. we had previously been told president biden had been briefed on this matter. but she specifically said that he was off presented the information during the president's daily brief. that was something that was on his schedule to take place around 10

45 this morning in the oval office, and they're in the white house press briefings. karine jean pierre, the white house press secretary, said that that was in fact, when president biden was first informed of this matter. i think it's also noteworthy the way that you heard karine jean pierre really pushed back on these espionage allegations that evan briscoe earth covic is facing at this moment, she said that they believe that they are ridiculous and that they have no reason to believe that they are accurate. of course, one of the things that the white house and the state department have both said today is that they are focused on trying to get consular access to that wall street journal reporter as he is in russia. the state department had previously said that it could be a matter of days, students some of the administrative and security requirements on the russian side. but what will be key during that moment is for officials to be able to ascertain condition so that they know for themselves, but also said that they are able to relay that for the family. and as you noted one thing throughout the process of this day, and each of

these statements that we've seen have been referring to this simply as a detention, the white house and state department has not gone as far to say, wrongful detention. that is a determination and a process of this currently underway over at the state department, but certainly there are still many more questions about how this all unfolded as it marks just another tension point with russia. i did want to also note that korean jean pierre was asked about the ninth service members that were killed in kentucky and very quickly, she said that the president's heart goes out to the families of those service members killed in a helicopter accident at fort campbell, saying that they represent the best of our nation. arlette signs we know you will be watching the rest of that briefing for us. keep us up to date with what else goes on there and stay with cnn newsroom we're back in just moments. what does it mean to bebe ever bette? it's your customers gegetting wt
