so there is a crisis boiling in italy over soaring pasta prices. it jumped 17.5% in march compared to a year ago. that is more than double italy's rate of inflation. >> on thursday government officials held talks to figure out a way to bring the prices down. producers previously said high costs would be temporary, but they blame increasing costs of raw materials. and it is an important issue for the country. one consumer group says that the average italian eats about 51 pounds of pasta each year. about the same weight of a piece of checked luggage allowed on a flight. >> and that sounds about right. i can't live without pasta. >> i don't do a lot of pasta. >> you don't? >> no. bread and pasta. if you were born italian, i would have been -- >> bread yes, but pasta not so much. >> interesting. next hour of "cnn this morning" starts right now.

good morning to you. welcome to "cnn this morning." it is saturday, may 13th, i'm victor blackwell. >> and i'm amara walker. how could you not prefer pasta? >> you're still on the pasta. >> that is my comfort food. do you like pasta? >> i mean, i could eat it. not like i'm going to -- i'm not going to kick it out of bed. but i wouldn't invite it in. let's just say that. >> but bread. but they go hand in hand. here is what we're watching. city leaders along the u.s./mexico border say they are bracing for an influx of migrants after title 42 expired this week. cnn is with migrants on the mexican side of the border as they attempt to make it into the u.s. >> we're closer now to justice than a week ago. because daniel penny has been

arrested. >> the ex-marine accused of holding jordan neely in a fatal chokehold surrendered and the charges he is now facing and while lawyers for neely's family say they are not enough. negotiations continue this weekend as lawmakers work to hammer out a deal to avoid the u.s. defaulting on its debt. we'll break down the real world consequences of a default including impacts to millions of federal workers' paychecks. and plus elon musk hires a new ceo of twitter. what is likely to change and what is not. and we begin this morning at the southern border where communities say they are seeing fewer than expected migrants trying to enter the u.s. after the end of title 42. and the biden administration is vowing tougher consequences for migrants who try to enter the country illegally. >> but u.s. officials fear the situation could still become a crisis. a federal judge blocked the

administration from using a policy is that would release them on parole. it was designed to alleviate overcrowding ahead of a potential surge. >> and with tens of thousands reportedly waiting in more than mexico to cross into the u.s., secretary mayorkas says his department desperately needs more resources and he is urging congress to do something. >> the two primary constraints are as follows -- one, a fundamentally broken immigration system that hasn't been fixed for more than two decades. and we need congress to act. two, we need congress to provide us with the resources that we need, that we requested, and that we haven't received. >> david culver is in juarez, mexico with more. >> reporter: sunrise over the u.s. southern border, we watch as u.s. officials process a dwindling number of migrants,

technically already on u.s. soil. though not yet through the border wall. title 42, no longer. title 8, thousand back in full effect giving these migrants the right to claim asylum. but those who fail to qualify risk being banned from entering the u.s. for at least five years. on this spot days earlier, more than 1,000 migrants camped out. most of them had illegally crossed the barbed wire and battled brutal conditions. the night's cold and the day's scorching sun and heat. water and food, scarce. those arriving friday disappointed and turned away. >> these migrants who had tried to cross into the u.s., but now here they are realizing that texas national guard, texas state troopers, along with cbp will not let them through the barbed wire fencing any longer so they are coming back to the mexico side. >> reporter: and in juarez alone, mexico's foreign minister

estimates some 10,000 migrants are still waiting to cross. many of them living inside walk encampments and shelters like this one where we find a familiar face. we recognize him from being on our same train. and he said from the train they came here to the shelter. two days before, we met jose, his 15-year-old dateughter and 23-year-old son on a freight train carrying migrants. the family fled honduras. roberto left behind his two young kids who got sick early on into their journey. the family now staying in the church-run shelter. he is saying as of now they want to just take a beat, if you will, pause a little bit, because they are noticing a lot of people are trying to cross. and yet a lot of people are coming back. i said what are you going to do in the meantime. he said wait.

and this man has been in mexico for eight months. he tried to enter three months ago but immediately expelled. he like so many saying the same thing, they want to do it legally, the right way, but ultimately he says he will leave it in god's hands. the shelter director says most want to cross legally and spend their mornings trying to get an asylum appointment. he said they have seen this coming now going back at least six months. and he said the reality as you sees it is the u.s. hasn't been very prepared for this moment. 77 people including families with little kids staying here for now. the pastor says that that is down from when we visited late last year when some 150 crammed in. but he expects my grants will continue to come. driving back to the desert landscape along the border wall

down a sandy and rocky road, we find more activity across the river. one by one u.s. officials call forward the remaining group of single men. theys to their belongings into a dumpster and spread hands against the fence. they are stare searched and som continue into the u.s., others likely to be sent back to this side of the river, mexico. determined to find another way across. most every my gigrant we've spo with say they are on their own schedule. they won't try to follow any try to deadline for any u.s. policy but rather what works best for their swrid cases. that said, all of them share the same goal. and that is to eventually cross. most of them tell me legally but others say they are willing to do it however so long as they can ultimately get to the u.s. david culver, cnn, juarez,

mexico. and migrants sleeping outside are waiting in long lines to cross the u.s. mexican border, and they will face a deluge of rain today.mexican border, and they will face a deluge of rain today. >> weather conditions will be harsh across nearly the entire state of texas. allison chinchar is joining us with more. >> and the lightning is equally as dangerous and deadly. and look at how much lightning you have with all of the thunderstorms right now across portions of texas. it is not just one area. you have several clusters here bringing very intense strong to severe thunderstorms across this area. and, yes, a lot of lightning not only across the border but also inland areas. san antonio, corpus christi, a lot of the other areas dealing with the lightning and thunderstorm. but look at this map, just the last 24 hours of all the rain. you can see specifically del rio down to laredo and also south texas, you are talking about 2 to 4 inches that has already

fallen. we're expecting more today which is why you have the flood watches in effect because it is the compounding nature of this. more rain today and the next day. when you look at the total amount of all of that rain, it is going to lead too tremendously high amounts. and there is a potential for severe storms in texas and areas of oklahoma and western portions of arkansas and louisiana. the main threats here will be damaging winds and potential for some large hail. but again, a lot of lightning with the storms and it is multiple rounds. that will be the thing. even if you get morning thunderstorms, it doesn't mean that you won't have some in the afternoon or yet again in the evening. so you have several rounds of these showers and thunderstorms, a lot pop-up in nature, so hard to determine exactly where they will pop up. and then in addition to that, you also have the potential for an extra 3 to 5 inches of rain on top of what they have already had. >> tough situation there. allison chinchar, thank you. and although the border

remains calm at the moment, a number of u.s. cities there have declared states of emergencies in preparation for a potential surge of migrants in the coming days. for more, andrew seally, president of migration policy institute. good morning, thank you for joining us. first off, officials were bracing for this historic surge of migrants. but what we saw instead was more of i guess a steady surge of people crossing or trying to cross the border. do you expect to see a much bigger surge to come in waves, spread out over several months? what do you expect the impact to be of title 42 expiring? >> we saw a huge surge last week of people trying to get in before it expired and i think we're all surprised, i expect some in the u.s. government are surprised that they didn't get a surge yesterday after it ended. but the reality is that the measures are a lot tougher than

they were and it seems to be having an effect on at least slowing the number of people coming across. we'll see if that holds or not. >> so what do you think of the strategy that is being employed by the biden administration? because it does seem to be a balance of carrots and sticks. the biden administration is at least trying to also encourage people to, you know, apply legally -- provide a legal pathway with the regional processing centers but at the same time, you have, you know, title 8 which is going to turn away migrants if they don't try to apply in that third country first. >> that's right. they have got, you know -- what they have done is combine a much tougher measure at the border. many more deportations back to the country's origins. a ban coming in for five years, a very high bar to get as sigh l asylum unless you have an appointment which is hard to get. but this opportunity to apply for protection or legal pathways. and they stretched as far as they can the number of legal

options to come to the united states. still probably too far insufficient for the labor demand in the u.s. and for the demand of people that want to come to the u.s. but they stretched it as far as they can. centers aren't yet operational but they are hoping that they will have them scattered across latin america later this summer. and people can go into those or make a virtual appointment even, see what options that they have if they need protection, you know, get a determination there. get flown to the united states instead of having to get a smuggler and head up to the border. and if they have other legal options to come into the u.s. through family or work, get a vee visa right there. >> and when you hear from the mayors and the people running those border cities, they have been feeling overwhelmed for some time. and they are asking and begging and pleading for federal resources. the biden administration obviously saw this coming for

some time now, right sf the lifting of title 42, end of the pandemic era policy. do you think that the president could have better prepared for this at least putting more federal resources in place months and months ago? >> yes. mine, they have put resources into border communities, but it is insufficient. a lot of the planning happened last minute. it was, you know -- became i think when president biden started focusing on this, maybe a month, month and a half ago, it started to become a whole government issue. so i'm hopeful that you will see more resources going to border communities because need it. and hopefully more resources, hopefully congress will put more resources into cbp, into health and human services that manage unaccompanied minors, all the agencies at the border as well. they need that as well as these processing centers. and so there is a lot of need. if the system will turn around and create fewer incentives to

come to the border and more incentives to try to apply early and see if they can come to the country before they get a smuggler, that requires congress and the administration take this seriously. >> and congress to take this seriously and find some common ground when it comes to comprehensive immigration reform. andrew seally, we'll leave it there. and a new york man who held a homeless street performer in a fatal chokehold is now out on bail. daniel penny surrendered to police friday morning. he is charged with second degree manslaughter in the death of jordan neely. athena jones has details. >> reporter: daniel penny, surrendering to face criminal charges in the death of home wls street performer jordan neely. >> he did so voluntarily and with the dignity and integrity that is characteristic of his history of service to this grateful nation. >> reporter: the 24-year-old former marine seen in a widely circulated video holding neely

in a chokehold for several minutes on a new york subway now stands accused of second degree pans manslaughter, after numerous witness interviews, review of photo and video footage and discussions with the medical examiner. the prosecutor telling the court witnesses observed neely making threats and scaring passengers. adding penny approached neely from behind and placed him in the chokehold, taking him down to the ground. when the train arrived at the next stop, penny continued to hold neely in the chokehold for several minutes. two other men helping to restrain his arms. at some point 2mr. neely stoppe moving and he continued to hold him and then released him. several say that he risked his own life to save others resulting in the death of mr. neely. adding that they are confident

that he will be absolved of any i don't think doing. >> ywe're close he now to justie because daniel penny has been arrested. >> reporter: even as they argued had he should be charged with murder. sfwl there was no attack. mr. neely did not attack anyone, he did not touch anyone, but he was choked to death. and that can't stand. that can't be what we represent. >> reporter: neely's killing sparked days of demonstrations in new york city. with protestors demanding penny's arrest. meanwhile, legal defense fund set up by penny supporters have raised more than $400,000 by friday afternoon. >> daniel, did you do it? >> reporter: now prosecutors must prove their case. before being released, daniel penny was ordered to turn over any passports he has and he will have to ask permission from new york state if he wants to leave

able to pay all of its obligations by the first two weeks of june if congress does not act. president biden and congressional leaders had been negotiating for several days but two sources involved in the talks tell cnn that there is still a long way to go. >> and americans are still concerned about the economy. university of michigan says consumer sentiment tumbled 9% in may. and matt ebegaxgan walks you th what the data means. >> reporter: and the mood on main street is getting even gloomier. u.s. consumer sentiment has tumbled so far this month to a six month low, that is according to a new survey from university of michigan. now, this survey describes consumers' views on the economy as, quote, dismal. two big things that stand out to me from this report, one, consumers have sharply dimmed their outlook on the economy even though the unemployment rate just fell last month to

3.4% tied for the lowest level since 1969. consumers have also marked up their long term inflation expectations to 13 year highs. and that is exactly the opposite of what federal reserve officials want to see as they try to push inflation back down to healthy levels. high inflation of course is a big reason why consumers are not happy right now. consumer sentiment plunged to record lows last june as gasoline prices spiked above $5 a gallon nationally. as gas prices dropped, sentiment improved but not by much and it is well below pre-covid levels. even though inflation has cooled off, recession fears of course persist and there have been new problems that emerged along the way. including the banking crisis and

more recently the standoff in washington over the debt celling. in fact university of michigan blamed the latest drop in consumer confidence in part on the debt ceiling uncertainty. and they warned that this low level of consumer sentiment only magnifies the risk to the economy if congress fails to lift the debt ceiling in time. victor and amara. >> thank you, matt. so at the cnn town hall this week, former president trump encouraged republicans to let the u.s. default on its debt if democrats don't agree to cuts. he also downplayed just how serious the default would be. watch. >> i say to the republicans out there, congressmen, senators, if they don't give you massive cuts, you will have to do a default. >> the u.s. defaulting would be consequential for everyone in this room. >> you don't know. it is really psychological more than anything else. and it could be bad, it could be maybe nothing, maybe you have a

bad week or a bad day. >> jpmorgan chase ceo jamie dimon says trump does not understand the debt ceiling and what is at stake. he also said defaulting on the u.s. debt would be potentially catastrophic. so here is what happens if there is a default. first, it would almost immediately trigger a recession. the u.s. stock market would likely tumble. unemployment would jump. 401(k)s could plummet. borrowing costs would increase. that is top of increased costs americans are already facing from the federal reserve rate hikes. social security payments to about 66 million americans could be delayed. medicare payments to hospitals, to doctors, health insurance plans could all be affected. millions of federal, civil january workers and active duty military members could see paychecks delayed. the united states has never defaulted on its debt. and it is unlikely do that now.

violence is escalating between israelis and palestinians in gaza this morning as idf launched a series of attacks today. the idf sites that they say belong to islamic jihad, targets have been ongoing since tuesday. >> and palestinian officials say at least 33 people have been killed so far including militants and civilians. israeli medical service says rocket hit a residential building there this week. one person was killed, five hurt. and ben wedeman is live in southern israel near gaza for us. ben, what is the situation this morning? >> reporter: victor, what we've

seen so far this morning is that there have been a variety of volleys fired out of gaza, volleys of missiles, some to the north, some just over our heads in the direction to the southeast. and a variety of israeli airstrikes, many in this area just behind me in the northern part of the gaza strip where according to sources two homes were hit. we have no information at this point about casualties. now, this latest round of strike and counterstrike is now in its fifth day. egyptians have been trying to mediate between israel and islamic jihad, but so far to no effect. revenge of the free, that is what the palestinian militant group islamic jihad is calling this. barrage of rocketing fired from gaza and for the first time in this most recent flare-up

a day after one person was killed when a rocket fired from fwa gaza hit this building, forensic experts today examining the scene. meanwhile at least 33 palestinians have been killed in gaza in less than a week. and there are more than 2 million civilians caught inside gaza whose lives are for you on hold and in mortal danger desperate for a ceasefire. now, a diplomatic source yesterday told cnn however that those negotiations for a ceasefire are in his words on ice at the moment. and in addition to what is going on in gaza, there has been an israeli raid on a refugee camp in the northern west bank. and in that instance it appears that two palestinians were killed. hamas put out a long statement, so we assume that they were in

fact hamas members. but this appears to be an operation that at might have been focused on hamas which has been excepted from the israeli strikes on gaza since this began last tuesday. israel has been focusing exclusively on islamic jihad. but de facto government there, but until now not targeted by israeli forces. a mara schiavocampo. ben we'd man, thank you. and we're inching closer to 2024 and those who won't support president biden's re-election campaiaign. he will sprain why. explain why.

to support the re-election campaign of biden. president of black farmers association says president biden has failed to protect americans from foreclosures and has not kept other promises. and he is joining me. good to talk to you again. i want to start with quoting your glowing endorsement from the 2'2020 campaign of then candidate biden. you wrote he has the smarts to invest in new loans and credits to make it easier to start and run a farm in the u.s. and joe has the new mihumility conscience to strive for what has too for too long cut black farmers out of the american dream. what changed? >> basically the administration dropped the ball. last time i saw the president at the white house during the fourth of july ceremony, he said that he would have a sitdown meeting to discuss ways to get relief to the 16,000 black and

other farmers of color who were promised 120% debt relief. the meeting hasn't happened. plaqu black farmers didn't get the debt relief. and i've been pressing the administration about fixing form foreclosures. we have a rm if aer losing 800 acres and the administration has not done anything to stop the foreclosures. we can't afford to lose another farmer based on the administration not fixing the problems that we know face us right now. just last year alone we lost 10,000 farmers right here in the united states and we're sending he money to ukraine hand over fist to the tune of $80 billion. helping ukraine farmers. we provided them with seed and fertilizer and farm equipment. things that i've been asking this administration to do right here to help black and other farmers of color and they refuse

to do nothing to help us. >> you say nothing to help us. is this the case when you start with the president has dropped the ball, is this the president has tried, the administration has tried and because of political realities, has not been able to get the money to black farmers? of course we know of the repeal of the monies in the american rescue plan, something that was supposed to be replacing that. or is he not trying from your perspective. >> he is not trying. if he was trying first thing that they would do is grant the meeting. i mean, come on. here is a leading abictivist th asked 120,000 black farmers to votes for you and i can promise you almost 99% of them did. first of all you have to open up the lines of communication. there has not been one meeting with the agriculture secretary tom vilsack. the communication is not there.

and the administration can do a lot better if we stop helping others and look at the hardships that we have right here in the united states to help american farmers familiarers stay on the farm. in colorado, we have farmers being terrorized. black farmers in the state of tennessee getting their land confiscated for a $5 billion ford plant. these are real issues facing black farmers and the white house is not helping us address them and this president hasn't granted a meeting. and as my daddy would say, you either do what you say you're going to do or you went back on your word. the president gave me -- said that he would have this meeting and it hasn't happened. >> and so you say you at any time get the meeting. and let me quote the president here.any time get the meeting. and let me quote the president here. the president often says do not compare me to the all mighty, compare me to the alternative. and i first interviewed you

during the trump years. and you and the organization were active far before that. if you are not endorsing president biden, i can't imagine based on our conversations that trump endorsement is coming. will you campaign against the president, will you endorse someone else? where do you stand sense you were influential in trying to help the president get elected in 2020? >> victor, i got a mule named jesus and i plan to take that mule around the country and meet with membership and hopefully other candidates are come out. i heard a name on cnn last weekend. so hopefully there will be other names that can come out that would take the issues seriously and say that we'll help you make sure that black and other farmers of color stay on the farm and continue the

generational whereabouts for black and other farmers in this country. that is what we need. and this administration in my opinion, the president is not doing it. and if he is watching or the people in the white house are watching and leadership in congress, they failed too. democratic leaders said the climate wasn't right to help black farmers. when is the climate going to be right? we're facing extinction. we're down from 1 million black farmers in this country down to 50,000. so when is the climate going to be right? when there is no more left? that is why i plan on raising the disability and making sure that the issues of black and other farmers of color remain viable in the presidential conversation. >> all right. john boyd jr., thank you for joining us. and we'll keep in contact to see if the communication lines reopen. thanks for your time. they didn't know about this view. or the 200-y-year-old tree in the backyard. or their neighbors dodown the hill.

sexual orientation. meg tar relate has more. >> these guidelines had been in place since the earliest days of the hiv epidemic to try to avoid the hiv virus being spread through the blood supply. but what is changing now is that for the first time in 40 years, the fda has solidified these recommendation make the risk screening to be the same for everybody based on individual risk factor, regardless of sexual orientation, sex or gender. this brings the united states in line with other countries like the uk and canada. now this is something that had started way back in 1985 when the fda had put a ban in place for men who have sex with men donating blood because of the concerns. now that was in place until 2015 when they said they can donate, but only after a period of abstinence of a year. they shortened that during the

pandemic when there was a crisis in the blood supply, and now are changing the recommendations so they will be the same for everybody. this is something that a lot of organizations for the american medical association have been calling for for some time and they allotted this move this week from the fda. organizations like glad also came out in favor of it calling it the beginning of the end of a dark and discriminatory past rooted in fear and home phobia. now glad also pointed out there are still eliminations with this. specifically the exclusion of users of prep, then antiviral drug to prevent hiv infection. they called that continuing to erect barriers to lgbtq blood donors. now there is a hope that this could contribute to the number of people who would be donating blood. according to the red cross, just 3% of age eligible donors in the united states donate blood yearly. so anything that can start to contribute to keep ing supplies higher will be welcomed.
