11:00 am
a wreck sv so, would you get to nashville hot tenders and three mandarin orange tenders? i >> what about you? three classic tenders for but a flash shrimp for the baby. i'll win looks like somebody needs a new hand. >> thanks for sharing. >> i'm not the buffet guys >> the virus that causes shingles is sleeping it 99% of people over 50 it's lying dormant, waiting and could reactivate. shingles strikes as a painful, blistering round
11:01 am
it's time to wake up because shingles could wake up in, you solomon in new york cnn coming >> out swinging president biden, hammering donald trump on the campaign trail while his republican rival returns the favor with insults as the race heats up following last week's state of the union address. meantime, the rebuttal to that speech leading to controversy of its own. senator katie britt wanted to focus on which she describes as president biden's failures, but now the spotlight is on one of her own mistakes we have more fallout from britt's response as she denies misleading the country with a story she told in her speech and out of the public eye, but very much on their minds, people in britain and really the whole world want to know what is going on with the princess of wales as an edited photo only fuels concerns about
11:02 am
her health we're following these major developing stories and many more all coming in right here to cnn news central >> we're going to be hearing from president biden soon from the campaign trail, hoping to ride momentum from his state of the union speech last week. and he's doing it during a pivotal time in the election season. tomorrow, georgia and several other states are holding primary contests the president and his presumed republican rival, donald trump, could win enough delegates to officially clinch their respective party's nomination for the white house. that will solidify that the general election is in full swing. some 230 days before all ballots close on election day. let's begin the hour with cnn, senior white house reporter, mj lee, mj, the president is set to speak in just minutes and you're learning he's going to go on the attack, talking about his
11:03 am
plans for health care, contrasting it with republicans yeah, that's right, boris, we do expect that when the president takes the stage at this event in new hampshire, one of several battleground states that we're going to see >> him traveling to this week as a part of his post state of the union tour, health care is going to be the major part of his focus. you know, health care may not necessarily be as political critically salient as an issue like border policies or reproductive rights biden aides do see an opportunity here to draw that contrast between the president and republican lawmakers. and of course his gop rival, donald trump. now, particularly given that new hampshire has a sizable older and elderly population, what we should hear from the president in just a few minutes is really a focus on hammering home some of the work that his administration has done to bring down cost of drugs, including insulin and also the efforts that are ongoing to protect obamacare law, of course, which the
11:04 am
president, when he was serving as vice president, had worked on with former president barack obama. now, this is a law, of course, that donald trump has long vowed to repeal if he has the opportunity to do so. but it is a law important to keep in mind that is relatively popular with democrats, far more likely than republicans to say it is an important issue for them heading into 2024. so expect president biden to talk a lot about this issue as they particularly pertain to the residents of this state and continue drawing that contrast with republicans and their vision for health care as well. boris, mj lee live for us from the white house. thanks so much. mj. we want to turn now to cnn senior political analyst mark preston. mark, thanks for being with us why do you think president biden is stopping in new hampshire? it's a state that democrats haven't lost in a presidential election in, in some two decades. >> well, a couple of things. one, the political world really has flipped on its head and many states that even 2345
11:05 am
years ago, we wouldn't even be looking at look, we were talking about georgia for instance, and we saw donald trump and joe biden there this past weekend. but new hampshire as mj notes, has a very big elderly population. they also have a very big population of former or rather retirees from the military. and this is a place that joe biden thinks that he can go up and try to secure those independent, those middle the road voter these are the same voters, boris, that really decided to side with nikki haley during the republican primary, other than donald trump and mark >> is it a realistic path for president biden to go after those haley voters? >> yeah, i think so. i mean, in fact, let's just look at these exit polls all in one graphic. we have it here at neatly for you. that just explains why joe biden is going up there in the type of republicans he's going after. if you look at that right now, haley voters believed that the economy is doing pretty well. they also described themselves as seventh
11:06 am
got a ten, described themselves as moderate, and 94% of them said that they would be dissatisfied if donald trump were to win election. so when you look at a state like new hampshire, this is the perfect state where you often hear us talk about independent voters, those middle of the road voters, those voters who are going to decide the election. new hampshire is ground-zero for those voters. >> a morgue i want to let our viewers know president biden is now up at the podium and goffstown, new hampshire, we're going to keep monitoring those remarks. marked part of his message has to do with economic populism. he's talking about raising taxes on the wealthy and corporations. and that overlap somewhat with health care. he's talking about expanding caps on prescription drug prices what does that tell you about where he thinks the electorate is in terms of its priorities. >> well, what's interesting is that the electorate that we >> hear now tends to be the base electorate tends to be the loudest voices on each end of the spectrum i think what joe biden's trying to do, what his administration is trying to do when we're seeing this not only with him out in the
11:07 am
campaign trail, but we're seeing his cap and it's secretaries are gonna be heading out onto the campaign trail to states that they think that they potentially could win or at least try to cause some damage to donald trump in november, he's talking about the economy, the basic issues that really when it comes down to when it comes down to november of people going to say or my better off than i was four years ago. and i think the biden campaign certainly his administration believes that they think that most americans are better off at this point. so even though we have this mood of despair necessarily, if you do look at people in how well they're doing, how bad they're doing. a lot of people are doing okay? >> mark preston, appreciate the analysis. as always, we're going to stay on top of biden's remarks and bring you the latest as we get them. thanks. mark rutte in the middle east day ramadan ceasefire between israel and hamas has not materialized. and now israel is preparing in advance into rafah, despite resistance from the biden administration. president biden says that offensive would be a red line hours later, israel israel's benjamin netanyahu
11:08 am
rebuffed the warning. the latest example of their disagreements spilling into public view, cnn's jeremy diamond is in jerusalem for us. jeremy the white house just weighed in. it looks like they're downplaying these tensions yeah, they certainly are the white house putting out statements saying that the president has a quote, decades long >> constructive, productive relationship with prime minister netanyahu saying that relationship that they've had allows president biden to be direct and honest, at times where that's needed. but there's no change change here. they say in the strength of the two liters relationships. so no surprise that they're downplaying those comments, but make no mistake. the comments that we heard president biden make in that interview over the weekend are the most cutting the most biting that we have heard from him in terms of the criticism that he's directed at the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we know that for months president biden and many of his advisers have been growing increasingly frustrated with netanyahu as the us has been trying to
11:09 am
pressure israel to curtail its offensive in gaza, to pay more attention to the suffering of palestinian civilians. and also in its targeting decisions as it's carried out, 1 million let's harry campaign that has now killed more than 30,000 palestinians, both civilians, as well as combatants but for the president to now be saying that netanyahu is hurting more than helping israel to be saying that the death toll in gaza is contrary to what israel stands for. those pretty remarkable comments. and while netanyahu didn't fire back with full force, he didn't make clear where he stands, rejecting the notion that the positions he espouses are not shared by a majority of israelis and also reaffirming the importance in his view of carrying out this military offensive in rafah, saying saying that he, that the israeli military will go there, will not leave a substantial number of hamas is force intact
11:10 am
by simply ending this war without going into what he is described as hamas's last bastion. but that being said, i'm told by multiple israeli officials that a military offensive in rafah is not imminent. in fact, it could be several weeks, perhaps before we see that part of that is because of the israeli military has yet to build up the number of forces in gaza that it would need to carry out this offensive. but another part of this is the fact that it has not yet finalize the plans to evacuate civilians about one-and-a-half million palestinians who are currently living in rafah, the war cabinet has not yet approved those plans, and i'm told that such an evacuation could potentially take at least two weeks, brianna. >> all right. jeremy diamond live for us in israel. we appreciate it and we're joined now by yet yell angle lychee, her nephew or fear was taken hostage on october 7 when he was released in that first hostage deal um, the aisle. thank you so much for being with us. first off, i want to ask you how your nephew is doing. how is he recovering and how is your family?
11:11 am
>> hi, brianna or freer is back and we feel like we had really miracle to have him back we still still getting over this enormous trauma. we had it's very hard to do it the 134 hostages? i'll still there >> and i know to families like yours, whose loved ones have been released even as you're dealing with the trauma you have made it your mission to stand with the families whose loved ones have not been released. there has not been another hostage deal in months. how are you feeling about the possibility of one, how are families that you're talking to feeling about that we have one thing that we say all the time. we want them back home. now we begging for the government, for the for the
11:12 am
people all over the world so ask for a deal just right now to bring them back home. as you know, on october 7, thousands of people here were murdered and hundreds were taken in 19 women's still there. we just had the international women's day last friday night women, israeli women are still there for six months. >> there >> tortured and raped every day. and it can continue, just can't continue like that israel, believes at this point that 99 people are still being held and there are 31 bodies of hostages still there. what do you think is standing in the way of the deal? what do you think needs to be done? >> i don't think you want my real opinion about that because i have one. >> but there >> are still 134 people there
11:13 am
dead or not. we don't know. we don't know the number, the hamas never told us the number of people that he's holding. the number is israeli a number. and i don't know what standing there, but i really want them back home now. i'm not a political political woman. i'm not a military. i just want them back home. it can't be that people and children and women were taken from their beds my nephew, i heard you talk what about what happened in gaza? >> israel? we don't want innocent people to die. we really want don't want it. we just want our people back home and we feel sorry. i feel sorry for innocent people, women, children that are dead. but as you know, israel is not in gaza for 20 years. the hamas is the government. and they hold their weapons inside hospitals, inside kindergartens and that's how they treat their
11:14 am
people. it's not something we did. my nephew when he was taken from bed and held for 54 days without food, without water nobody told him to evacuate the place before they did it >> they just did it >> and i think every other country in the wall won't let that thing happened to her. tweets. so we just want them back home now. that's what we want bodies life, people. it doesn't matter they have to bring back these people home. that's what we say all the time >> and i know that you hear the reporting about a looming offensive in rafah. it does not appear imminent, but it looks likely what do you think about that and what have families of those who still have loved ones held hostage? and perhaps worry there in rafah, what are they saying about what this could mean? >> we owe the families here
11:15 am
also, as you know, how fear was taken from the house of his girlfriend with her father, her father is still there. her uncle is still there. her father was dead one month ago. >> we >> all read all the time. they nights 24/7. >> we >> worried that they will be dead from ids military forces. we worry that hamas will kill them as long as hamas keep them as their shell as their human. shell as they do with all their civilians it's a big, big problem. very, very big problem for all of us and for i think the wall just see the things going on in gaza and i think the world should understand that the hamas is a terror organization a very bad one.
11:16 am
and the world should stop him from doing what they do. because today it was in israel, but tomorrow it can be anywhere else. also in america don't care about anyone they don't care about their people. so what can we do? we just want our people back home alive, whatever bring them home back. now >> yeah. >> we're so sorry for what your family has been through and we'll continue to tell the stories of the families who are searching for their family members to come home uil angle lychee. thank you so much for being with us. >> thank you, briana. thank you. >> had this hour on cnn news central, the princess of wales admitting to doctoring an image, there was apparently meant to quell concerns about her wellbeing pressure now growing for the royal family to be more candid about princess kate it's condition and a sex trafficking victim coming forward to accuse alabama

11:22 am
>> there is kate's blurry hand, her blurry hair. if you look closely there, you'll see that charlotte's left hand with the sleeve of her sweater. it's very strange. there's also stitching on kate sweater. they seem to indicate some kind of photoshopping and not very good photoshopping at that had been done. and this prompted several international news agencies to pull the photo saying that it had been altered. we have cnn royal historian kate williams in london on this. kate, this was the first official picture of the princess since she underwent abdominal little surgery in january. what does the palace saying about what the blowback that this photo was getting you as well as you say, brianna, this is the first
11:23 am
time we've had any update about the princess and you update from the princess since that shocking with the shocking announcement that she was had had surgery and was going to be recuperating until after easter. and there has been this internet speculation. it's been going wild over the past couple of weeks saying, where is kate all kinds of lurid speculation. and clearly this photograph from the palace and kensington palace was an attempt to end the speculation. so here's kate, she's fine, but it fueled the flames with all of these as she was saying, these photoshop barriers within a couple of ten minutes, i think of it being published. twitter was aflame with all these people pointing this out. and then the international photo agency is hugely reputable agency is saying, we don't want, don't use this, and that we all kinds of suspicions about how to even going as far as being ai, which is very serious if it's an a.i.-generated picture the palace aren't saying anything. they said they won't release the original picture of which this was photo shop form. they won't release that. they're not saying anything else. kate herself has said it was me. i
11:24 am
photoshopped it and i apologize for the confusion, but they're also today, there was a brief shot of kate leaving windsor castle. william was going to win westminster abbey to the commonwealth service. a long-planned engagement. kate was in the car with him and there are people already saying that this was damaged limitation. this has people saying this has got out of hand. this is convertibility. people are saying where is kate? it's getting even worse. so let's just see her coming out in the car and really, i think this has been today has been just disaster. a pr disaster for the royals. this vision they had of pouring oil on the troubled waters as actually cause more chaos. and now people are saying, well, if it's ai, that is quite serious, i think most people would say or photoshop celebrities photoshop, but ai is making, make it making up photos i think is quite here is allegation. >> yeah, definitely a kate. what do you make of the way that the palace has approached this i mean, they had to have expected that there would be ramping speculation about kate,
11:25 am
given limited visibility after her operation is this being handled the right way >> well, this is it, boris. i mean, this this kind of approach would have worked in the 1950s to say a word as ill. we won't tell you when they're better. that's fine. but this is a social media age. and in fact, the queen's governor said in the 1930s, royals only private in the womb. and i'm afraid that's the poison chalice have being a voile. it's tough but they are never private and people want updates, so they wanted to hear how she was they i don't think they needed to put out this perfect, beautiful family photo. i think it would be invited to just put out a small photo of cage or even a statement from her saying, i'm fine, i'm just recovering we all understand that surgery is tough. it's really a battering of the body. you just want to sit on the sofa in your pajamas. but really the palace, i think has made things so much worse with not say anything and then putting out this photo that was a total disaster, so
11:26 am
really they do have to engage in damage limitation. this i think kate being seen in leaving a windsor castle today, was damaged. limitation. i don't think it was inadvertent, and i think we probably will have to see a photo or a statement from kate over the next week or so with a bit more saying i'm feeling better and thank you. but really, i think this has been this really shows that in an ai world, in a social media world, the oils or two steps behind and royals always photoshop me. they portraits of, of elizabeth, the first doesn't like her portrait. there's a whole henry the eighth portray with his children photoshopped in essentially by portraiture, who couldn't have ever been at the same time. we do forgive a bit, but i think that this has gone too far and certainly the fact that the speculation about kate has been the most really the intense and very outlandish i've ever seen means that they had to have dealt with this better and really they didn't. i think i think it's been a big mistake and i'll be a lot of serious meetings about this at the palace to try and make sure
11:27 am
this never happens again. >> and yet, henry the eighth and not paint his own children. i do is portrait. i imagine kate, because what you have is the princess saying she's the one who edited this and i think a lot of people were surprised that she might be doing her own attempted photoshopping. what what did you think of that? >> yes you're, exactly why he didn't paint himself and then do they never did. so that's why so many royal marriages collapsed because they never looked like their portraits. and your spirit >> she >> apologized and took it's tough. it really is tough for her, but i have to say that i've been talking to a lot of experts today brianna, and they've all said to me, i don't know much about photography myself. i don't photoshop photos. they've said to me we think it's ai and that is i think quite serious. it's all very well. we've that we've seen actually there's a royal christmas photo, the most recent christmas photo, louis was missing a finger, but i think everyone thought, oh, well, it's just photoshop but the accusation that they might
11:28 am
have put these different pictures together, somebody saying i've seen lots of comments saying that they'd be all different pictures of them that were taken long ago last year and they've all put them all together. well, if that is what people are accusing, then i think it is a problem because in the world of ai, we have to hold onto some kind of truth the royals there is this contract with them that what they tell us should be the natural is everything. but some of it should be truthful. and i think that certainly with charles being so open about his cancer, there was a lot of real support there and people haven't been speculating about that. they've been saying he's got cancer. let's leave him to it. but the attitude of silence towards kate, i understand it. nice to have privacy, but it has caused total total chaos night. i just i don't actually myself think that she did photoshop. it really, i think that if i think that it's much more likely as the experts telling me that it was ai and someone did this who specializes in this, but simply within ten minutes, it was being being caught by the internet and you have to be very, very good. i think you
11:29 am
can get it passed those kinds of solutes, these yet these days such an odd chapter for the royals, it no matter what she's going through, we hope that princess kate is okay and healthy and we hope to find out more soon and if we don't, i'm okay with it. >> i am. yeah. photos like that, though, please. >> williams. thanks so much for the perspective. thanks >> so >> a sex trafficking victim tells cnn that it was her story that senator katie britt shared during the state of the union rebuttal she says the alabama senator misrepresented her plight, will discuss with an expert when we come back it happened to the golden boy of new jersey. >> i engaged in an affair with another man. >> did you want to be outed united states of scandal with jake tapper are gonna get a therapist. they have to have i think an interview with jake tapper, new episodes sunday at nine on cnn >> deal

current administration as a senator implied. and finally, four she met the senator at an event that the border with other government officials and anti-human-trafficking activists, instead of one on one hospital told me brianna, finally, no one reached out to hur to ask for her permission to use her story as part of a political speech. someone using my story, she said and distorting it for political purposes is not fair at all. brianna? >> yeah. sorry. very strange, rafael. thank you so much for taking us through that. we appreciate it. >> worse senator britt did attempt to clarify her remarks on fox news over the weekend. here's a clip of that >> to be clear, the story that you relate is not something that's happened under the biden administration that particular person. i'm very, very clearly said i spoke to a woman who told me about when she was trafficked, when she was 12. so i didn't say a teenager. i didn't say a young woman, a grown woman, a woman
11:39 am
when she was trafficked, when she was 12 cnn political commentator and republican strategist alice stewart is with us now. alice. senator britt there is denying the fact that she was misleading talking about the age of the woman that she was talking about. >> but she did say, >> quote, we wouldn't be okay with this happening in a third-world country, and that she criticized biden's florida border policies it's clear that she was trying to imply that to some degree, the white house is immigration policy was at fault, and that this happened in the united states. that's misleading >> no question about that. and we can all agree that mr. santos story is heartbreaking. it is gut wrenching, and you have to applaud her dire to speak out about this publicly and call attention to human trafficking, which is devastating. but no one to tell her story without her permission and no one should use her her story for political purposes and her story is not a direct result of joe biden's policies that being said, what
11:40 am
senator britt did was just by the implication of took away from the real message of this response to the state of the union look being loose with the truth is not the way to go about doing this when the truth about biden's border policies are damning enough, his border policies are hurting people. his border policies are to blame for the mass migrant surge for a lot of sex trafficking for large part, for the death of the nursing student at the university of georgia, laken riley there are a lot of collateral damage and death and harm to this country based on biden's border policies. but here's the problem. when senator britt got out there and made this statement and using this story without permission from the victim. this was a convenient way for liberals to point out that and point out that specific part of the speech and the misleading part of that story to take away from the bigger issue at hand here, which is the consequences of joe biden's border policies.
11:41 am
and that's unfortunate. and the bigger part of her story hey, that joe biden as a diminished president and his policies, whether we're talking about at the border, whether we're talking about the economy, whether we're talking about safety in our streets, have led to an american country that is frustrated with his policies that goes to show why his, his unpopularity numbers are at an all-time high and many people are looking to see him out valieva's, the white house would refute much of what you're saying is, as i'm sure, you know, i do want to focus on senator britt. do you think it would help if she apologized to the woman? >> look, i think that's for her to have that conversation between xi and that woman. look, her her team is standing by the facts that she was trying to make a reference to the surge of sex trafficking and making sure they don't believe that they made a direct connection with regard to the timeline here. i think that's not exactly true. i think all of those involved in the writing of the speech, i think
11:42 am
that could have been buttoned up a lot more and really done a better job of outlining the timeline of when she talked to this woman and when this actually happened. but to make a direct allegation or claim that this is the result of joe biden when this happened years ago really takes away from the issue at hand. and i think it was it's an unforced error on the part of this speech. and we're talking about that instead of the real issue at hand, which is the larger implications and consequences of biden's border policies, not just at the border, but we're seeing it as immigrants are sent to other cities in new york and chicago, and denver. and this is, we're not hearing just republicans, but democratic leaders in various cities and states saying enough is enough, biden sat by and did nothing about this for three years. now, democrats are pushing back saying it's time to address this border crisis. and now we're in an election cycle and he's actually deciding to do something about it. >> how much does this hurt the
11:43 am
senators standing in the party she's obviously seen as a row rising star, and i don't think anybody's deciding who they're voting for in a general election based on those state of the union rebuttal. >> but as you >> said, we're talking about this as opposed to talking about a great performance that she gave him what a bright future she has, right? >> we're talking about this. and many in the media are talking about this. but she goes back at the end of the day go to the senate and work as a senator. she will be responsive to her constituents back in alabama. and i can assure you, republicans writ large are not dissecting this specific aspect of the speech. they're looking at the fact we had a young female senator responding to an old mail, a president that is very unpopular filler and has a real fight on his hands going against donald trump in november. that is what they're talking about and they're listening to the key points that she made with regard to him and his liberal policies and the impact that has had on a moms and women and families across this country with hurting the economy, national
11:44 am
security, our border education and crime on the streets. those are the issues that resonate with the american people and mothers across the country. and this issue right here that we're talking about, being loose with the truth is not something that american people and republicans are sitting up, losing sleep over. >> alice stewart. we've got to leave the conversation there. always appreciate hearing your expertise. thank of course. >> still plenty to come on. cnn news central, including a major cyber attack preventing some physicians for being able to build their patients. some health care providers, or even considering taking out loans in order to keep operating but details in just moments to be a headliner, las vegas that's what i wanna do. >> it's unlike anywhere else in the world >> vegas, the story of sin city sunday at ten on cnn skin craving next level hydrations, new neutrogena, hydro boost, water cream, a vital boost of nine times more hydration to

11:50 am
biggest, most impactful cyber-attack on the us healthcare sector in history, according to all available evidence and so it's very much an ongoing debacle in terms of the fallout, the direct impact i've spoken with health care clinics across the country one cancer clinic that was worried about that am i have to close. they treat 16,000 cancer patients a year and downs over the last funding to stay stay open. and so it's been two weeks there's been a lot of pressure behind the scenes by the us government to try to get the company to more quickly bring systems back online and demands angry demands from medical association saying, hey, we're running out of money. our memory because they're running out of money. so there's a lot of pressure. >> now, >> last week, change healthcare announced that it would it would get systems back online probably by next week. but again, you're talking about a big gap of multiple weeks and funding for some of these small clinics that really can't afford to be offline. so it's

11:55 am
higher demand on a seasonal switch from winter to summer blends let's break this down with cnn's matt egan. matt just how high our prices surging and where well, boris at gas prices have been moving steadily higher. and if that trend continued, it would be significant consequences from an economic perspective, the higher gas prices go, the more damage to inflation if there's too much damage to inflation that could actually delay when the fed starts cutting interest rates. and politically, we know that drivers hate when prices at the pump go hire a gas price spike that might be the last thing that this white house needs. now, the national average at 03:40 a gallon up $0.21 over the past month $0.33 higher than mid january, though we should note gas prices are a little bit lower than they were at this point last year, as far as why this is happening, what some of this is totally normal, it's no secret that as the winter ends, demand for gas
11:56 am
goes higher, right? people drive more in the nicer weather, also support fly, it gets more expensive because those gas stations switch over to the more expensive summer fuel and then also we have had some refinery problems that's limited supply layer on top of that oil prices, they're higher than not dramatically. so still you put all that together and that explains why we've seen gas prices move significantly higher bar course. >> map. the key question, how much higher are we anticipating that they're going to go? >> well, boris, i think that's the good news here. the good news is that experts, they don't think that we're going to see a skyrocketing price of gasoline this spring or summer, not going to see a repeat of the unprecedented spike above i've dollars a gallon that we saw two years ago >> one of the big reasons for that cautious optimism is the fact that the united states is pumping more oil than any country ever has before. and all that us supply that is offsetting some of the
