good morning to you and welcome tonn this morning, happy easter. >> it is >> sunday, march 31st on victor blackboard. >> i amro walker hears what we're working on for you this morning removing wreckage. there are signs of progress. is cruised, clear, massive mounds of steel and concrete from the deadly baltimore bridge collapse. we are live on the scene with a work, a look at what the work happening right now, happening now also king charles at easter service, it's his first significant public appearance into cancer diagnosis we live in windsor this morning and firing back the white house is on the offensive. this morning, republicans blast president biden for proclaiming easter sunday as a transgender de, of visibility, although they both fall on the same day this year by chance. we're live with the

fallout plus how soaring cocoa prices are leaving a bit of a bitter taste for chocolate lovers. this easter >> we >> begin this morning with >> breaking news out of indianapolis, where at least seven people all between the ages of 12.17 were shot last night it happened in downtown and police believe it it started with some sort of conflict that ended in gunfire when officers arrived, they found a group of children with gunshot wounds, all of them were taken to hospitals and are now in stable condition. the police take more than one gun, was involved in so far? no arrests have been made well the work has now begun on the north side of the collapsed francis scott key bridge in baltimore. cruiser are working to remove the debris to hopefully find the four missing victims there at the site and reopen the port >> officials are estimating it will take weeks to clear the damage underwater cruise have isolated the section of a natural gas pipeline to support the salvage operations. cnn's

michael yoshida joining us. now live from baltimore. hi, there, michael, update austin on what's the latest is, and especially when it comes to the removal of all that debris hey, good morning, amara and victor, you mentioned that north section of the key bridge were told that crews will start cutting up in removing pieces >> of that part of the bridge that with the hope of opening up a pathway in the water to get more vessels in and around that crash and collapse site. you can see it over my left shoulder. those lights they are in the distance right now, of course, we've seen that chesapeake 1,000, that largest floating crane on the east coast has moved into the area to help with all of this work and the coming days and weeks, we're told it will be joined by at least six other floating cranes, cranes, other barges tug boats et cetera, to help in this complex process. and as they start moving, that equipment here into baltimore, here we're told again that analysis of this crash and collapse continues more than 1,000 engineers taking a look at all of the pieces of debris,

trying to figure out the best way to start taking it apart. again, we're told some three or 4,000 tons of debris just on on top of that ships. so that'll need to be cut up and removed as they again, they try and salvage the get the salvage operation underway, clear the waterway, and also try and get down into the water and continue with those recovery missions. try and find those for missing workers. try and bring some closure to those those families. now, saturday, we did learn that the us small business administration, as we talk about this recovery effort they did approve a disaster declaration that's to help some of the small businesses in the area impacted by this bridge collapse. so those funds for low-interest loans up to $2 million start to be available for small businesses here there are to apply for again, a very complex and long process. the coast guard same, this is more like a marathon and these are just the first few steps that we're starting to see as for a

timeline, for how long all of this could take again, now, days, not weeks, potentially months, if not longer. >> all right. my you shoot. i thank you very much life for us on near the scene. there. >> well, right now, >> both pope francis and king charles are attending easter celebrations in a significant show. and while they both battle their own health issues, now, this is king charles is most public appearance since the world learned of his cancer diagnosis back in january. and the king there seemed to be in good spirits as he greeted people outside windsor castle with a services taking place. >> is that it consider pope francis is beginning the traditional easter papal blessing from the main balcony of the vatican after presiding over easter service outside st. peter's basilica the. 87 year-old pope is canceled several engagements over the past year. as you recovered from what has been described as colds, bronchitis, and the flu of course, we're covering all the major easter celebrations with cnn's max foster outside of windsor castle and cnn's

vatican corresponded. christopher lamb in london, maxillae start with you the king's most significant appearance since his cancer diagnosis i don't believe that this is a return to a normal schedule, but it is good to see that he appeared at least to be in good spirits yeah i think that's really the message here today to show that he is well, a can carry out public functions, but his doctors have advise them not to be exposed to the public too much because of the treatment he's receiving. one small bit of intel if you liked that, i've gathered from the crowds here is that there were about ten people, members of the public allowed into the castle today. and that's who he was waving at when he went into the church service, which is significant actually, because it does mean that this is his first public engagement since he had that cancer diagnosis. so the advice and the doctors is clearly try to play it safe. i guess around

the rules we had around covid, you could perhaps be out with the public in the fresh air but share space with them in doors so i think that is quite significant that he's doctors have said you're well enough to go to a church service and sit through it but also, you could potentially go up to the public as well. so we'll see what happens when it comes out of the church and whether it goes up and meet some members of the public that'd be quite interesting, but it does mark a new phase. really in his recovery, i guess. it's really important for the monarchy to be out there in the public because that's really what they're there for to represent the public. and i'm sure he'll want to do that if his doctors allowed. max foster. >> thank you so much. let's go now to cnn's christopher lamb, who is in london as well. christopher, the pope is also battling health issues and he even skipped the good friday service to preserve his energy for today. tell us more about how he's doing and the message he delivering this easter. >> what do you seems to have been able to preserve as energy

because this morning francis has been out in the square greeting thousands of pilgrims who have gathered for easter sunday mass and right now, he's giving his traditional urbi at albi message, his easter sunday message, which she gives each year, addressing various conflicts and wars in the world. he seems to have got his voice back. he has been at times defining difficult hello to give speeches. he's asked aides to deliver messages for him to read them out, but over this holy week and run-up to easter, the pope has presided out five services since thursday. so it is a very intense schedule for any pope, let alone a popover 87 years so old who has been battling various health challenges. now, francis did pull out of the good friday service, rome's colosseum in order to preserve

his health but he has been presiding at all the services in st. peter's. he was at the easter vigil joel, last night or two-hour long service greeting people afterwards, and this morning on easter sunday, he has been out in the square, so i think francis, despite his age, despite mobility difficulties, he uses a wheelchair. he is determined to keep going and really wants to continue you to deliver his message, which is one of the importance of service in the church humility reconciliation, and of course ambitious reforms and renewal for the catholic church, something he's been emphasizing throughout his pontificate christopher lamb for us in london, christopher, thank you back here in the former president trump posted a video on social media of a pickup truck with an image of president biden tied up? >> yeah. the biden campaign has

condemned the post saying trump is inciting political cool violence. cnn's steve contorno has more former president donald trump, once again drawing accusations that he is encouraging violence against a political opponent. this time for our social media post involving president joe biden. in this video that trump posted the truth social on friday, it shows two trucks driving on long islands decked out in pro-trump decals and flags. and this image of president joe biden hogtied on the back of a truck trump's campaign on saturday defending the use of that image telling cnn in a statement quotes that picture was on the back of a pickup truck that was traveling down the highway democrats and crazed lunatics have not only called for despicable violence against president trump and his family they are actually weaponizing the justice system against him. president biden's campaign wasted little time condemning this violent image

telling cnn in a statement on saturday, this image from donald trump is the type of crap you post when you're calling for a bloodbath or when you tell the proud boys to stand back and standby trump is regularly inciting political violence and it's time people take him seriously, just ask the capitol police officers there's who were attacked protecting our democracy on january 6, this kind of violent imagery is something that we're used to seeing at trump's rallies from his supporters online and from vehicles driven by trump's most ardent supporters still it is striking to see this kind of rhetoric amplified by a former president and someone who is seeking the white house once again. but of course, victor and amara, that is something we have seen from trump going all the way back to his 2016 campaign. and through just last week when he attacked one of the judges and the judges daughters overseeing one of his cases in new york all right. >> steve contorno. thank you.

it is a culture clash over separate celebrations. transgender de visibility and easter coinciding this year, by chance. and it has a lot of conservatives claiming outrage over the president's proclamation. we are alive with the white house response >> the man charged with murdering his first first wife late to the deaths of his girlfriend is two children, goes on trial tomorrow in idaho. what to expect in the high-profile trial with the death penalty on the table? >> the lead with jake tapper, weekdays at four and cnn you give you give and you give this tax season you get with straight talk wireless. you get >> unlimited data. >> you get >> america's most reliable 5g networks. you get a samsung galaxy 815 for only $99. so you can give your genki phone to your kid good talk.

2021, biden issue the first ever presidential proclamation recognizing this day and has celebrated it ever since. now, republicans have heavily pushed back, just given that these two days have coincide with each other. but the way has issued their own steam and it pushing back on the criticism, they've received, take a listen to just what the statement that the white house spokesperson andrew bates put out. he said, as a christian who celebrates easter with family president biden stands for bringing people together and upholding the dignity and freedoms of every american. sadly, it's unsurprising. politicians are seeking into divide and weaken our country with cruel, hateful, and dishonest rhetoric. president biden will never abuse his faith for political purposes or for profit. so as you can see in that statement, the white house is trying to portray biden as just having this message of unity, of bringing people together. we'll also to suggesting that there republicans or the politicians, are seeking to use this issue

to try to divide americans. and this is a message that biden keeps harping on when he hits the campaign trail. and this is what he's called that trump with doing while he was in office is seeking to divide the country while he is trying to portray this message of unity amara, viktocamila dechalu much j me now is michael o schnell, congressional reporr from the hill. good to see you this morning. so the trump campaign calls this coincidence that these are happening on the same day appalling and insulting speaker johnson says it's outrageous and a bore,t transgder vibility day. thiss th16th year. it was coincidence. you think this particular battle in the culture war last past midnight yeah i mean, a total coincidence here, victor, this transgender de visibility happens every year on march 31st, this year that happens to be easter sunday. but look, we are in an election year. it is

2024. we're just months away from november's election day. i think that this is going to be the sort to be the normand at athing that happens in the political world will become politicized. and we'll see republicans seized on different ings bthe bin white house. theiden white house thugh the me thing forhe trumcampaign because we are inuch cle proximity to that november election. and because the race between trump and biden poll show is so close, now, will this last beyond midnight app? probably not new cycle these days hops from one thing to another very quickly. but nonetheless, i think as i said before, this is a good marking point to show that as we get closer to the election, really anything that happens for trump or biden will likely be politicized by the other side of the trump post, showing president biden an image of him hogtied and the back of a truck it's been awhile since we've seen republicans on the hill, fake phone calls and say they haven't seen the post, so they don't have to reply now they're on easter break here, but has anyone on any

republican commented that you've seen about this picture that trump posted? >> yeah, we're still going to have to wait and see how republicans can oregon to react to this. as you mentioned there right now on recess. so it's easier than not to go out of their with they don't want to be a pastor by reporters in the capitol to get a comment. they can just go out of their way only if they want to comment, they're not forced to do that. but this sort of gets into the idea of this rising political rhetoric and violence that we're seeing these days in politics as the rhetoric gets heightened, as we get closer to november's election day. and i think that what we may hear from a number of non trump republicans on capitol hill, this could be one of the reasons why they tried to express their colleagues that this guy shouldn't be in the white house. this is one reason why we don't think that he should be served bring another four term, somebody like susan collins or at least some murkowski, mitt romney, three republicans in the senate who have said that they are not supportive of donald trump. >> so >> if we're going to have to still wait and see what some of this republican reaction is. but no doubt it will likely be

used as a cudgel in this sort of proxy war in the republican party between the trump wing of the party and the anti-trump wing of the party. >> let's talk policy now, the president hours after the francis scott key bridge collapsed in baltimore, the president said that it's his intention that the federal government pays for the entire cost of the replacement. some conservative republicans have balked at that idea, are democrats, relevant democrats on board? board with that >> as far as i can see, so far victor, yes. but i'll i'll note that again, this comes as congress is on this two-week easter recess, so we're not able to ask a wide array of lawmakers what they think of this funding. essentially, we're only able to glean what they post on social media or say in different news interviews sources you have to wait and see what the vast majority have to say. but from what i've seen so far, democrats have been onboard with this funding and a number of republicans have been also. i will note there are some conservatives, hardline conservatives who are making hay out of biden statement that

the federal government will fully repay for the reconstruction of the bridge. or number of concern derivatives who are concerned about the deficit and don't want to use federal dollars in that way. but a number of republicans and democrats, both sides of the aisle, both chambers has that they are supportive of this effort. now, we're still waiting to see how much the reconstruction of the bridge will cost, how much the biden administration actually requests from congress in a supplemental to address the bridge's reconstruction, but no doubt, regardless of the widespread support, there's likely going to be a fight on capitol hill because of those hardline conservatives, because of the slim majority in the house. and because really any legislative we've thought we've seen in this congress has been a bitter battle. so stay tuned for that. but again, by enlarge the vast majority of lawmakers that i've seen so far have been some supportive of the federal dollars to rebuild the bridge. >> ukrainian president volodymyr zelenskyy told the washington that without us aid, ukrainian military the military there will have to start to retreat in small steps when we

when congress was less than session, marjorie taylor greene filed that motion to vacate related to the budget vote chip roy, congressman roy said that if the speaker brings a ukrainian aid bill to the floor, there's going to be a problem, although he hasn't backed that motion to vacate is this an existential decision for the speaker? >> i mean, in a way, yes, in a way, no, it's sort of folds two ways. a, its next essential decision, victor, because if speaker johnson puts ukrainian on the floor, he likely going to face this motion to vacate congresswoman marjorie taylor greene suggested in the way that she described this. this isn't a way a warning for when ukraine aid comes up for consideration that if he puts out on the floor, she's going to trigger this ouster measure. but the other side of the coin victor, is that a number of democrats have stepped up and said, if speaker johnson does the right thing and puts you created on the floor, they will actually go ahead and protect him and do a procedural motion to table this resolution

essentially quashing it so it could decrease his support within the republican conference and the confidence that a number of hard-line republicans have in him as speaker, which i'll note is already pretty low for a number of them, but he likely still have the gavel after that legislative fight because democrats are saying they're going to come back in. but of course, this is all a moving situation right now and figured johnson said that after the appropriations process ended, ukraine aid would come up next. well, appropriations ended last week ukrainian is x and we're going he's gonna have to tackle that legislative landmine when congress reconvenes next month, microcell. >> thanks so much and make sure you catch all the latest headlines from washington this morning on inside politics sunday, that's it. eight with manu raju right here on cnn >> still i had a triple murder or trial is in excuse me, set to get underway in idaho. we will preview chad day bells date in court as he stands accused of conspiring firing with his current wife to kill her children, and his late wife

convicted prosecutors say chad day bell killed two of his step children and his first wife, motivated by power, sex, money, and apocalyptic religious beliefs. >> not guilty, >> murder and conspiracy charges >> not guilty. >> all of them, the same plead. >> not guilty. >> his wife, laurie value day belt, was convicted of the same murders in may of last year. >> cancer, guilty. answer. guilty. >> and on monday it's chad tables turn to be tried prosecutors say tyler, ryan, who was 16, and jj valla, who was seven. were last seen on different days in september of 2019. then in october, they alleged day bell killed his then wife, tammy, who was initially believed to have died in her sleep sleep less than three weeks after her death, he married laurie value, >> the search continues for two missing children. >> the children's disappearance

captured the nation's attention in late 2019, when de bell and value abruptly left idaho after police started asking questions, just tell us where you're kidding. the couple was found in hawaii in january of 2020. that june a gruesome discovery. the remains of thailand jj, were found on day bells property, day belts, preliminary hearings have already given a preview of the evidence against him >> eventually, we uncovered for the entire body that was wrapped in this black plastic bag with a lot of duct tape and invalid doubles trial prosecutors said the two believed themselves to be religious figures who had a system of rating people as light or dark and use their dooms day, religious beliefs to justify the killings. during her sentencing validate belt

doubled down on her religious beliefs jesus christ knows that no one was murdered in this case accidental deaths happen >> you're justified all of this i going down a bizarre religious rabbit hole and clearly you are still down there. >> she was sentenced to spend her life in prison. but now the question is whether chad tables defense, we'll also include these beliefs. or if he we'll turn on his wife, camila bernal, cnn, los angeles >> camila, thank you. joining me now to discuss chad de bells murder trial is attorney or raven martin. good morning to a ravid. thanks for joining us this morning. so jury selection, as we said, begins tomorrow in his murder trial. do you think that's going to become a difficult selection process, especially considering that his wife, laurie, value, has been sentenced to life for these murders in this bin, so much publicity around these

cases, right? i mean, there was a netflix true crime documentary on it yes. >> absolutely emmer. and additionally, the defense attorney gave a interview to a particular network which caused the judge to issue a gag order in this case, you're right. there's been so much publicity around this couple and around the murder of their two children, child with the two children of worry, de bill and step children of chad. it's always difficult in cases like this high-profile cases when you have a lot of publicity, but jurors are pretty smart and they are able to stay focused on the facts and the law that will be presented to them by the judge in this case. so even though it will be i think in some ways difficult to pick a jury. i don't think it will be impossible on this case is going to move forward and we see that the jury was picked and case and we saw the outcome in that case as well. >> so hearing what the defense attorney had to say in that interview i mean, what what is your take in terms of how

they're going to go about defending this. do you expect chad day bill to turn on his life? for invoked the same religious cult tish beliefs >> well, a couple of things we know m or we know that the way that laurie was defended in her case wasn't successful. she was ultimately convicted on all charges and now it's facing life in prison without the opportunity of parole. i don't think there's one going to be any benefit to chad reliant on that defense. what i think is probably going to happen in this case is that he points the finger a lorry given that bizarre statement that she gave during the sentencing hearing, is pretty clear that there's a lot of evidence that can be presented on the part of chat to suggest that this wasn't him at all. this was his now wife who is sitting in prison for the rest of her life, who was the mastermind behind these depths? so it wouldn't be surprised at all that he doesn't point the finger at her to try to exonerate himself. >> how effectively do you think

he will be able to point the finger at her though considering i mean, he's written books, fictional ones based on apocalyptic ideas and he even had a podcast >> the reality amarise, i think he's going to be convicted in the same way that his wife was convicted. i think the evidence is so overwhelming in this case, not only the books that you make reference to, but we have to think it's about the dna evidence, the fact that the two children has stepped children's bodies were found on his property. we know that one of the kids that bodies had been december. we know that there was also the burning of one step children's body. so this case presents so many heinous facts. i think is almost it's impossible for jad to be found anything other than guilty in the same way, the worry was found guilty. >> so why lastly, is the death penalty being pursued against chad day bill? because it wasn't with laurie value well, let's remember, it wasn't initially requested on the part

of the prosecution with respect to both of them, but >> because of discovery violation related to laurie, the judge ruled that the death penalty had to be taken off the table with respect to her. but these murders that the heinous nature of these murders, the fact that they involved a, quest to recover some insurance benefits. so money was involved. we know that power was involved. we know that again, the religious cult plays a big issue in these murders. and then it's just the heinous major killing of two children, burying their bodies in the backyard, setting one of the body's on fire. you're cutting off as them one of the children the nature of the crimes are just so horrific that they cried out for the death penalty. >> or we have a martin will leave it there. thank you very much. >> up next a cemetery in georgia is so overgrown. that family members cannot visit their loved ones. those families say the people responsible for maintenance at december to terry are obviously not i'm doing their jobs and now they're taking their fight to court
