12:01 pm
right? hello again, everyone. thank you so much for joining me. lots of breaking news today. i'm fredricka whitfield and we continue to follow all of this on capitol hill. members of the house of representatives just pass a series of foreign aid bills providing a total of 95 billion in dollars in assistance for ukraine, israel, and taiwan. >> it all unfolded in a rare high stakes saturday vote in congress, gop, house speaker mike johnson was able to advance the bipartisan bills through congress. >> this week with the help of democrats. it's a move that could cost him his job as some hardliners in his party have threatened to introduce a measure to remove him from his post. we have teamed coverage of today's major development, priscilla alvarez, i will have reaction from the white house, but let's get started on capitol hill with cnn's lauren fox, lauren, i mean, the votes there now official and how are people reacting overall on the hill yeah. >> i mean, this was such a long time coming for montse
12:02 pm
administration has been imploring lawmakers on capitol hill to take action. the senate took action months ago, and it was really unclear if the house specifically speaker mike johnson was ever going to bring this package to the floor when he finally unveiled the package earlier this week, it looked so similar to what already had passed. united states senate. the biggest difference here of course, is the fact that it was really split into three separate parts. it's those bills will now be bundled together, sent to the united states senate. we expect that that process will get underway next week, but it's also just important to point out here there are so many lawmakers who were watching the newly minted speaker wondering what he would ultimately do. knowing that his job was potentially on the line if he took out action and many of them applauding the speaker today, here's the house foreign affairs chairman michael mccaul there's a learning curve, both in the intelligence community that we welcome to to learn about this
12:03 pm
issue on a national level but also i think he felt the weight of the world on his shoulders and it really was falling on him and if i was with him the night before he made the decision of course, others wanted to go forward with another bill have gone anywhere. >> but time was of the essence and you have to have a day. i'm very proud of him because he did the right thing. >> and it's not just my call. i talked to one democrat, mike quigley, who when i asked him, does he have a different view of the speaker today than he did two weeks ago. he kinda paused for a minute and he said, i guess i do i think there were a lot of members who wondered if this day was going to come, if speaker johnson was going to feel compelled to put this package on the floor, he now did. he's also speaking out i'm saying that he's supportive of what has happened on the floor. he feels proud of this moment and he hopes that the senate moves expeditiously. frederick gotten all right. >> lauren fox. thank you so much. let's go to priscilla alvarez now for sila, this is a
12:04 pm
significant when for president biden, who has been pushing for this kind of aid for months now what are they say? that's right and they are applauding that today the president putting out a statement in which he said, quote today, members of both parties in the house voted to advance our national security interests and send a clear message about the power of american leadership on the world stage. at this in critical inflection point, they came together to answer history's call i think urgently needed national security legislation that i have fought for months to secure goes on to say, i urge the senate to quickly send this package to my desk so that i can sign it into law and we can quickly send weapons and equipment to ukraine to meet their urgent battlefield needs. of course, to remind viewers, the president asked for additional funds for ukraine ukraine back in october, he also addressed the nation during that time, noting that this isn't just about helping an ally abroad, but that it was, it was important for national security interests of the united states. and that has
12:05 pm
really been the argument over the last several months. and it was urgent and necessary to get these funds to ukraine. so as not to cede any ground to russia russia, and most recently, us officials were making the correlation between losses on the battlefield in ukraine and not sending the funding over to ukraine, essentially putting it at the feet of republicans in congress to get this path. so this is clearly a win for the white house, which has been seeking out these funds for months. now oh, and of course, this was a recurring topic of discussion that the president, had with world leaders as he sought to reaffirm us leadership on the world stage, something that he mentioned in his statement this afternoon, and also try to give assurances to ukraine that the us would come through. now, white house officials have been working king with members of congress and congressional staff over the last several months on this, they were also in touch with them today on saturday. and of course, the next step of this is for it to go to the senate. and as you heard there from the president, he wants this to go quickly so it can get to his desk and they
12:06 pm
can get those munitions to ukraine as quickly as possible. >> all right. we'll leave it there for now. priscilla alvarez, lauren fox so much. all right. let's talk more broadly about all of this. today's developments with us now, geoff duncan, he is they cnn political commentator and a former republican lieutenant governor of georgia, are at great to see you. so your reaction to today's passage of these four, four and measures and many of which that meant and about face on support within the gop. >> well, good for mike johnson for being courageous enough to do the obvious right thing. i think if we broke this issue down across america one-by-one, i think an overwhelming majority of americans would support ukraine, support israel, and support the additional funding measures that were in place today. but when it's complicated and thrown into this chaos, like marjorie taylor greene and others tried to continue to do to get this republican party back out of the ditch. we're going to have to have more courageous people like mike johnson and others are willing to step up and think further than just a social media post
12:07 pm
pope, five minutes after a vote. or they're gonna have to think even further than a two-year election cycle to get not only the republican party back out of the ditch, but to get our country back on track. >> so more more was said today about any potential motion to vacate in terms of those who are willing to speak on capitol hill, t.j. the speaker johnson says, i don't don't worry about the motion to vacate it. >> all whereas with georgia, republican marjorie taylor greene, she said, while she is not going to do it right now, and what it would take us three and two out of three spoke today in terms of their disappointment of the house speaker, she said she's going to leave it up to her colleagues. leave it up to my colleagues to hear from their constituents. and this is something else that she said it earlier today. take a listen we saw what happened with this vote. >> we saw your amendment code down, we saw your all your frustration mike johnson, so is today the day you're going to call for the vote seeking his ouster i'm actually going to let my colleagues go home and hear from their constituents because i think people have
12:08 pm
been to obsess with voting for foreign wars and the murder industry here in america, it actually understand how angry americans are when you have the strongest loudest it's voices. >> and republican, and the republican movement and grassroots furious calling for mike johnson to be vacated. the people here my colleagues have not heard the message, so i'm looking forward for them to go home on hearing hearing from the folks back at home a kentucky republican, thomas massie, also expressed his disappointment in how speaker johnson, what do you think is demise is at this point? >> well, marjorie taylor greene's comments, there are coded language four. i got whipped and i know i'm beat, right? she's not going to make the motion to vacate because i don't think the american people are going to stand behind that at this period of time. i don't think republican districts are going to stand behind that at this point. these, these issues are coming at us so fast and furious, furious from around the world that we need real problem-solvers to stand up and stricter. stick their chin up and be ready to walk through.
12:09 pm
marjorie taylor greene is part of the ponzi scheme called donald trump. it's this, it's this fear mongering. it's this hot air that just doesn't really solve any problems. and i think america starting to see through it, they're starting to watch people like that as ineffective operators i mean the the house went through just a tumultuous process by unseating kevin mccarthy. and i certainly was not a fan of kevin mccarthy's, but the process involved to dethrone him of being the speaker was a ridiculous, embarrassing moment that quite honestly not only made us weak in this country, but it made us weak around the world watching, watching that play out so it's really interesting now because we've got this juxtaposition & at the center of it all is the power that trump has over the republican party and while it's marjorie taylor greene, and even how speaker johnson who went to visit the former president recently while that is conveying, he still has a lot of power now he's in criminal court we're going to hear opening arguments on
12:10 pm
monday. >> you hear him at his rallies. you say continues to say, you know, there are two forms of justice here. and he's the victim how do you see his influence of the party? all predicated on the outcome of this trial yeah. >> so what we're watching play out here is votes like today, it's just a tell-tale sign of where this is headed for donald trump. he's losing control because losing power. i think most legal experts will say that this current trial that he's sitting in his probably the legalists legally week trial of all four, but it's still an important position because we're watching the suburbs are going to listen to these just horrible details rollout of him having inappropriate relationships with porn stars and whatnot in regardless what the outcome is, that is a creates the math problem for donald trump. he cannot win the suburbs. and i think people are realizing that elected officials are realizing that i just wish there was more courageous people people like mike johnson that did stuff like this more often and
12:11 pm
didn't try to talk out of both sides of the mouth. i wish we saw republican governors standing up and saying not no way am i going to put my brand on donald? trump if we think further than just november, which is going to take further than november to fix this republican party to get us back on track. we would all stand up against donald trump. i think history is going to reward those who were all in against donald trump and his ridiculous nature's, i said a minute ago, this is a ponzi scheme failing. it's falling apart, it's financially falling apart. messaging is falling apart donald trump looks week. when you watch him come out and act like a two-year-old child, pre and post trial in his statements, he just is weak de a loosening of the grip that he has on the party absolutely. >> and i think i think that full room of republicans that voted in favor of the funding bill today they want an excuse to move away from donald trump. >> they want some air cover. i hear from folks in the legislature here in georgia here from it, from folks in congress. these are, these are good wholesome folks that want
12:12 pm
a reason to be able to move past donald trump will never recovers republican party until that happens, but donald trump's not going to win in november joe biden is going to win as short, short of some unforeseen health event, donald trump gets beat because he still has a math problem in the suburbs. there's nobody that's going to change their mind on donald trump, especially suburban women that all of a sudden they're gonna see, you know what donald trump, maybe it's not that bad of a guy after hearing all these grizzly details of what he was doing when melannie was just two months post post-birth with one of their children. i mean, it's just hard to get your hands around all right. >> geoff duncan. good to see you. thanks so much. >> all right. from criminal court back to the campaign trail, former president donald trump is holding a rally in north carolina ahead of those opening statements in his new york criminal trial as early as monday, his message from the trail the historic first criminal trial of donald trump. >> the jury has been selected. now, opening state humans begin. how will each side lay

12:18 pm
the former president outside of spending the time in the courtroom. so what's the expectation today there at the rally well, you're right, fred, he is capping what is really one of the most unprecedented weeks in america can politics with the first criminal trial of a former president's doing so with this rally in north carolina and coming into this event, he has made clear that he is not happy with how quickly this trial has reached this phase of the this space. >> with opening statements beginning on monday today on truth, social it says that he believes this case has been rushed and listen to what he said yesterday as he left the manhattan courtroom trial starts on monday, which is long before a lot of people thought the judge went to go as fast as possible. >> that's for his reasons, not for my reasons trump's legal team made multiple attempts to try to get this case delayed
12:19 pm
list as he has with all his other legal cases, but they were unsuccessful with the new york case. >> so now he is in north carolina today on a saturday and saturday rallies, weekend rallies are gonna be rob a huge part of this trial to trail presidential campaign for the former president. and as you said, fredricka north carolina is a very important state. he only wanted by about 1.3% just four years ago. and there'll be a focal point in this election, this fall as well. i want to point you to one stat that i think is really interesting about this particular moment because just a month ago, republican voters here, how the primary in our exit polls 30% of them said that they do not think trump would be fit to serve if he is convicted of a crime that is a troubling statistic for the trump campaign, especially as this trial just gets underway, fred. >> all right. again, opening arguments on monday. thank you. so much, steve contorno. they're at a rally where the former president will have tonight in north carolina. >> all right, so this pivotal
12:20 pm
de, for the former president monday as new york prosecutors give their opening statements in the criminal hush money trial, let's bring in former federal prosecutor and senior writer for politico magazine push kadoorie. >> great to see. so very quick. seeding of the jury. what does this tell you about how monday is likely to get underway? >> well, look, yes, there was a fairly prompt seeding of the jury. the judge seems have one to move things along rather expeditiously. i think that was on the whole pretty pretty good idea, but of course it hit some road bumps, particularly with the jurors who dropped out 111, excused herself effectively. one got removed. and then when there was a hello procession of people who were expressing concerns about their safety and things like that. i'm hopeful on monday that this case proceeds to opening arguments subject to any pretrial conferences or whatever in the morning. i am, however, a little concerned that some of the other jurors who've already
12:21 pm
been seated may show up and have some concerns of their own. so i think we need he told sort of take a little bit of a wait and see approach here. >> yeah, there are six alternates, right? and is it your concern or thinking because of the anxiety that some have already expressed that perhaps having more alternates is wise, isn't too late to seek even more alternates before, say, a monday opening arguments. >> i think so. i mean, i think if the judge we're gonna do it or make any effort to do that would have happened by now. however, i do think though the positive aspect that it happened late last week, too late in mind my estimation, but the people who were seated thursday and friday, not as much biographical information about them was released to the media and therefore to the public. so i'm thinking the alternates and those people who are seated in a later part of the week are going to be a little bit better situated than the people who are seated in the earlier part of the week. and those are the people i'm thinking like we just need to carve out the possibility that
12:22 pm
they may show up on monday and have some questions and concerns of their own. okay. i prosecutors have already provided their list of a witnesses. but what they won't reveal is the order of the witnesses that would be called obviously, because they don't want people to be targeted in say, trump's social media post or harassed. and in any other kind of ways, it's unusual, is this fairly typical? >> oh, it's very unusual. and it's very, very unusual i'm sure that there are prosecutors, some from older days who would tell you, look, we never pulled people who are witnesses were ahead of time. that is not the standard practice anymore, either in civil or criminal litigation. it is very common if the judge doesn't do it, then at least for the parties to agree among themselves that they will provide each other with notice of who the witnesses will be either on a one or two business day notice or potentially at the end of one week for the following week. so what the government has done here, and they made very clear why they were doing it is that they do not trust donald trump. that is
12:23 pm
why they are not extending this courtesy to them. and it is very unusual and reflects very poorly on him in his legal team all right. >> on kush kadoorie, we'll leave it there for now. thanks so much. >> thanks. thank you. >> all right. $61 billion worth of aid for ukraine has just been passed in the house of representatives. what this means for ukraine as kyiv struggles to hold russia at bay on the front lines there's new ally in the fight against climate change. this is new car business blue carbon. >> we just need to protect nature will do the rest corbyn cnn filled tomorrow at nine how far would you go to control the fragrance in your home? there's an easier way. dry air wake vibrant with two times more natural essential oils for up to 120 days of amazing fragrance per dual paths now, that's a breath of fresh air. >> if you have graves disease, your eyes symptoms could mean something more.

12:28 pm
warning for months that us aid is crucial to his country survival following the vote, he posted a message thanking the us for its support. cnn's fred pleitgen is in the ukrainian capital of kyiv. fred how are you cranium is feeling about this us aid while i would say very positive, in fact, we're hearing that pretty much from all walks of society here in this country that we're actually celebrations in some places here in the capital, in kyiv. >> and then of course, we are pretty much the entire government of this country coming out within seconds. the fredreka of this vote passing and thanking the united states for it. and of course it can't be overstated. just how important it is for the ukrainians right now on the battlefield, they've really been suffering from a shortage of air defense missiles, but also from artillery ammunition as well. in fact, we've been in touch with a couple of soldiers on the front line. there's one remarkable thing that we heard from one of them i want to read to you. this is from an artillery reconnaissance commander who says, of course,
12:29 pm
when we feel support from the outside, it motivates us, after all, the military knows that we cannot when with sticks and bows for people who want to defeat the enemy. this news is a great morale booster, so obviously very important for the ukrainian. they've been on the frontlines as they've been suffering from those ammo shortages and really was dire for the ukrainians for an extended period of time. also, the president of this country, volodymyr zelenskyy. he came out shortly after the vote was passed and he once again thank mike johnson personally for bringing it to a vote. but also the us in general. let's listen in we appreciate every manifestation of support for our state and independents are people in our lives which russia wants to bury in ruins america has shown its leadership from the first days of this war so they're thanking the united states, of course, we do know right now as the situation is unfolding on the battlefield, fredricka, the uk radians under a considerable
12:30 pm
amount of pressure, but you do get the sense that they believe that this age package could help them at the very least, hold the russians up, possibly even in certain areas, turn things there's around. we also got a comment from the foreign minister of this country. there's one thing that stood out to me, those quite interesting, this is to cnn where he said that this vote. means the message to all wannabe dictators and aggressors wanting to plunge the world into chaos. obviously saying that this is something that will prevent just that. so certainly here from the ukrainians, you do see a lot of very positive reactions on it. they really feel that they've gotten a new lease on life course. we have had some pretty dire predictions coming from the us and from ukraine and as well saying that could lose this war if this aid package doesn't come through, fredreka all right, fred pleitgen in kyiv. >> thanks so much right. >> i want to bring in now jill dougherty. she is a cnn contributor and adjunct professor at georgetown university, and former moscow bureau chief for cnn. so in your view, this past stage of
12:31 pm
us aid to ukraine, what kind of message is that sending to vladimir putin well, i think judging by what they seem to be saying we expected this, but i think in addition to the fact that the package is passed and that the russians were pushing very hard in their propaganda to make this not happen that said, i think the russians are almost more worried about the other part of it. >> and that is using the seizing, confiscated russian sovereign assets to pay for the reconstruction of ukraine that worries russia already, there was a statement from putin's press secretary, dmitry peskov saying, oh, this will ruin the image of the united states and scare away investors. but i do think that the russians are worried about that we know that putin looks for vulnerabilities
12:32 pm
and i wonder if he is looking at the divisions in politics on capitol hill and beyond. >> if he is seeing are evaluating whether there are some inroads for him to take advantage of. the divisions in the to find advantage for himself no question. >> in fact, there is now some new information coming out from the washington post about some documents that were actually russian documents that were revealed. they were intercepted showing precisely that fred, this is not a surprise, but what they're doing with the russians who are trying to do is really exploit to the max any divisions in the united states. and you just saw a few minutes ago, this playing out onto the visions in congress. and in the nation about this. so they will try to take advantage of that nerve question. >> cia director bill burns said, ukraine could have lost
12:33 pm
to russia by the end of the year without this money it was that dire, right yeah. >> well, the indications, if you look at what the ukrainians themselves were saying, the commander in chief syrskyi was saying that the eastern front has significantly weaken. they're very worried about perhaps even in june, another russian push and then there's another side to this. as this was passing. i actually was listening to a talk by a human rights lawyer their impressive young ukrainian lawyer and her name is alexander matveev chook. and she was saying and speaking very compellingly about the human price ukrainians, your bank. she said that passing this will save thousands and thousands of lives. that's verbatim what president zelenskyy was saying but she was i think really expressing the feeling. and i
12:34 pm
asked her, what do ukrainian people feel? >> she was expressing that feeling that so, a lot of people who have died because this bill didn't pass. >> but now that it has, it really could save thousands of people credible. >> all right, jill dougherty. thanks for hanging with us. appreciate it all right. >> straight ahead. i knew reaction on the passage of these aid bills from israeli prime minister benjamin when yahoo stay with us sanity need to save space you'd have a show. were right and left talk to each other cnn presents an encore presentation of hbo's real time with bill maher tonight at eight on cnn that smell could be 8 million odor causing bacteria. >> good thing adding lysol laundry sanitizer kills 99.9% of bacteria that detergents leave behind. clean is good, sanitized better to me, harlem

12:40 pm
were conservatives who were arguing that they may try to oust him from his job as the united states house speaker if he moves it forward with any additional aid for ukraine. now, marjorie taylor greene she was still i rate frustrated, mad, chip, roy, who i spoke with. another concern serve it, wouldn't talk about whether or not he would support marjorie taylor greene's effort, but said he was disappointed that this package was a disgrace. those are some of the views that you're getting from hardliners. meanwhile, there are other there's who are applauding the speaker, including democrats i talked with one of them representative mike quigley, who said that his view of the speaker has changed over the course of the last several weeks, given the fact that johnson was willing to take this step now, next steps for this package are going to be going to the united states senate we expect that in the days ahead they will take up this package. majority leader chuck schumer, setting up a key vote for tuesday, fredricka. >> all right. lauren fox.

12:42 pm
israel. the foreign minister cat, israel cats said similar things as well that this showed the strong ties and the, strategic partnership between the two countries. i think perhaps the comment from the speaker of the knesset was quite telling us, well because he summed it up this way. he said this shows israel's enemies that the united states and israel are strong together, united states stands with israel and that's been particularly important at the moment, particularly in the face of the attack from iran, because there was a perception here in israel that the reason iran chose to attack in a way, in a way that had never done before directly sending 350 missiles into israel was because that they thought there was a weakness. and alliance between the united states and

12:48 pm
welcome students and one teacher were killed and the columbine high school massacre, the shock and horror of that de are still reverberating decades later on friday, gun safety organizations, how the vigil to remember the tremendous loss of life joining us now a cnn contributor and columnist for the trace, which exclusively reports on us gun violence. jennifer masia, jennifer, good to see you. i mean, who can forget what it felt like where you were when you heard of what was happening at columbine? i mean, that really shook at america's soul and shocked people. so what kind of lessons? have we learned as a nation? have we healed since then column might well, first of all, my thoughts are going out today to the victims and the survivors. >> this is a very hard de, for the entire littleton community columbine showed us that this could really happen anywhere in america, even in an upper middle-class community and colorado prado, that really got everyone's attention. because columbine wasn't the first
12:49 pm
school shooting and the 90s. in fact, there had been about there have been half a dozen in the two years leading up to it. oh, yeah. i remember pearl the scipy there was paducah, kentucky. i remember covering all of those and then columbine. what happened? >> which was which was the worst. i mean, we'd never seen a death count that high, 13 people and it played out on live tv. we saw kids jumping out of windows and carried out on stretchers. column. i'm really changed the way that we respond to school shootings. so the police response was deeply criticized because it took hours to clear and secure the school a teacher bled out and died in the meantime, they simply weren't prepared for anything on this scale. but today, nearly every school has active shooter drills starting in kindergarten. armed security staff everything, ideas around your neck, visitor check-ins that all started after columbine. that's why the response to uvalde was so grigio is because we should have known better after columbine yeah, because i mean,
12:50 pm
sadly, even with the active shooter drills it's still happening. >> school shootings are still happening and happening at on a grand scale on a pew study put out ahead of the columbine anniversary shows nearly one in four public cool teacher say their school went into a gun-related locked down in the last year and a majority say they are worried they're still worried about school shootings happening on their watch. >> so how do we explain this? what is the problem? i mean gun-related lockdowns. are those happened on top of drills, so that's trauma on top of trauma for kids and there is a debate about whether it's even worth the harm because this can be very traumatic. but the problem is, when you don't regulate this problem at the source, the burden ends up falling farther down the line to schools, school resource officers. the truth is, you know, in the 25 years since columbine almost
12:51 pm
245 million guns have flooded the us market so they're just simply more guns around. that's why this keeps happening. there are laws and state very few states have laws that penalize leaving guns accessible to children. so there's just more guns for kids let's to find& last year, over 1,000 kids brought guns to school. that's like ten years ago. it was only 200 guns and i'm saying only 200 because this only happens in america children and other countries have the same stressors, the same social media, but only in america are these shootings happen? and it's because guns are just so accessible and then you have on this year of a 20 anniversary accountability like unlike what this nation have seen, we saw the parents of the oxford high school shooter, james and jennifer crumbley, convicted for charges of involuntary manslaughter for not doing enough to prevent their son from killing four classmates. >> i mean, it's the first time we've ever seen parents
12:52 pm
convicted in a case like this, and perhaps, you know, many analysts believed this kinda open the door of more potentially to come. how do you assess things? >> well, i really i think this case was very unique. this had never happened before, and it was stunning even for me. i've covered this over a decade, but i think the hope is that this case at least be a warning to secure guns around your kids to maybe just be a little more careful in sharing your gun culture with the child. how two might be in crisis in the case of a few school shootings, we saw with sandy hook and community college, mothers actually took their children to the range. and that's how they became proficient in firearms. it's not a good idea. if a kid is in crisis and that's why it is important to be really involved in your children's lives but i think the hope is the prospect of 15 years in prison might be enough for parents to think twice before they are responsible with guns

probably haven't heard about and it's killing people and elephants every day. >> nick paton walsh reports from srilanka on the ongoing and fatal conflict on the whole story with anderson cooper. tomorrow nick fredricka, this is a story, yeah, sure. >> about elephants and the clash between them and humans. for basic land elephants need so much greenery in space just to survive, they've always had it for centuries, but now humans in the name of growth needs so much more themselves. they're pushing further and further into areas that elephants have always, frankly, never seen a human being in a tool that's all changing radically in sri lanka while there are thought to be about 6,000 elephants will unjust 2023 alone apparently, we killed 400 of them and they in turn killed 169 people. that's extraordinary numbers for something. but at times you might think was a benign, interaction every night, we saw firecrackers being used to scare elephants away from the
12:59 pm
farmland, the crops that humans need to feed their families for many, it's frankly existential that keeps them up all night, every night. and indeed on one particular road, we saw how elephant space encroaches on to highways that humans use all the time and the bizarre interaction we saw there sometimes the roads aren't cage but become a sort of playground where the elephants have the upper hand this road runs through a national park and is lined with elephants trying to block the traffic until they are fed it to kind of hold up really preying on human fair panicking the uninitiated some time. >> really fancy the run now it
1:00 pm
is remarkable to see these extraordinary natural beasts majestic, profound, and how they keep themselves to themselves and have always expected privacy, forced into the areas where humans are. humans too at times terrified elephants themselves are exceptionally fast and strong when they feel threatened. and we saw ourselves one night, just how tense and violent that can indeed become. but i think the important thing to take away here is not necessarily how elephants remotely pose a threat, but how this story as a visual way of explaining how crowded this planet has become. and the perilous decades we have ahead. fredricka are very extraordinary, can't wait to see that nick paton walsh. >> thank you so much and be sure to tune in an all new episode of the whole story with anderson cooper, one whole hour, one whole topic airs tomorrow at 8:00 p.m. eastern and pacific only on cnn
