00:00Passing pause on the latest operation to open the Strait of Hormuz as the U.S. and Iran
00:04inch closer to a possible deal to end the war. But President Trump has a stark warning
00:09if there's no deal. Sky high, the war in Iran pushing up jet fuel prices that could mean
00:15higher ticket prices for anyone who is planning to fly this summer.
00:20The breaking news, a renewed push toward peace. CNN has learned that the U.S. and Iran are
00:25moving closer to an agreement to end the war. Sources telling us they're working on a one-page
00:31memo which would declare the war over and open a 30-day window to resolve sticking points,
00:36including the future of Iran's nuclear program. Today, the President paused the new U.S. effort
00:42to guide ships through the Strait of Hormuz, citing great progress in talks. CNN's Nick
00:46Robertson is live in Islamabad, Pakistan, where negotiations have been taking place. Nick,
00:52tell us what you're learning about this memo to end the war.
00:57Yeah, I think that was over yesterday. Project Freedom, that's been put on pause. And then
01:04today the President says, well, actually, you know, Epic Fury or its follow-on, that could
01:09be back. If they don't do what we're asking them or saying to do, we could be bombing again.
01:14That kind of language, you know, as we've seen over the past month of talks here, just doesn't
01:18sit well with the Iranian. We'll try. We'll see, though. It's been quite an effort. Nick Robertson,
01:24thank you so much, live for us from Pakistan. Forrest? New details on the deadly Hantavirus
01:29outbreak. Today, three patients on the cruise ship were able to be evacuated as top health
01:34officials now confirm the Andes strain of the virus has been detected, which is known for its rare
01:40human-to-human transmission. Contact tracing is now underway, and officials say another passenger has
01:47tested positive, bringing the total number of cases to eight. Three people have died at this point,
01:54in Spain, after the country's health minister said the ship would be docking in the coming days.
02:00Joe is saying this is that Andes strain, that person-to-person transmission that marks that
02:06kind of strain. How can health officials prevent it from spreading now that you have some more
02:12people being evacuated, and they're talking about getting more people off the ship and docking?
02:19Weeks ahead. So what is the incubation period for the Andes strain of the Hantavirus?
02:27Around two weeks. It can stretch up to, say, six, but two weeks is where we typically start to see
02:33new cases emerge based on the dates provided by... ...of six weeks here. How hard is it to transmit now
02:41that we are seeing more cases kind of slowly but surely pop up?
02:47Hantavirus is not known for easy person-to-person transmission. It's thought of as a virus that
02:52does not transmit well between people, and so it could be...
02:56...as this plan is expected, or this ship is expected to dock. Local politicians are wrangling
03:03over that plan in the Canary Islands, the Spanish archipelago. The government is demanding clear
03:09information, which no doubt they're entitled to, and this is a problem they have to deal with,
03:14but should they have any fear about what they have to manage here and worry about whether they
03:21can manage it? You're looking at this two to six week incubation period. You have contact tracing.
03:31What do they need to do in terms of isolation and isolating people from other people, especially
03:38as they're being repatriated to a number of countries from which the folks on this ship are coming from?
03:46There are two options on the table in each country. This as a case study for the future and what
03:53we can
03:53learn from it. When eventually we do figure out the exact origin of this, do you think we're going to?
04:00One, and two, what can we learn from this that can help for future scenarios?
04:08I do think we'll get a full accounting all the time. We really can't let our guard down,
04:13and we can't let our capacity diminish. A lot of people working on this problem.
04:18Caitlin, thank you so much. We really appreciate your expertise. Caitlin Rivers.
04:22And still ahead, the White House's border czar takes a defiant tone as he vows that mass deportations
04:28are coming. See more of his message to critics of the administration's immigration policies.
04:33And then later, a look at the life and legacy of TV pioneer Ted Turner, who created the first 24
04:39-hour
04:40news channel here at CNN. Let's go back to our breaking news. A source familiar with negotiations
04:45says the U.S. and Iran are closing in on an agreement to end. Now to some of the other
04:49headlines that we're watching this hour. The Coast Guard is seeking to work reported. A new hour of
04:54CNN News Central starts right now. Today, American drivers are once again paying more for gas than
04:59they were yesterday. Overnight prices at the pump jumping six more cents. The national average for a gallon
05:06is now $4.54. That's nearly $2 higher per gallon than before the start of the war. CNN's Matt Egan
05:13is
05:14tracking all of this for us. Matt, the president has said gas prices will drop like a rock as soon
05:19as the war ends. Of course, that ending is very uncertain, but also so is, I'd say less certain
05:28how prices are going to drop. We know how that normally goes. Well, Brianna, look, if dream move,
05:35and it's one that is hopefully not going to be necessary if diplomacy succeeds here. All right,
05:41Matt, thank you so much. Really appreciate it. Still to come, FBI Director Cash Patel is sharing
05:46some new details in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, as he now claims the FBI was kept out
05:51of the case at a critical time. And we have some new reporting on how the U.S. military is
05:57training
05:57for a new era in war fighting by going underground. Plus, Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik facing Congress
06:03over his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. He was pictured on the pedophiles' private island years
06:09after he said he cut ties. We're going to be joined by a lawmaker three months after Nancy Guthrie
06:15vanished. FBI Director Cash Patel is saying that his agents were deliberately kept out of the
06:20investigation for its first four days. On Sean Hannity's podcast, Patel gave the FBI credit for
06:26getting key images of the suspect once they did get involved. Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence
06:32Analyst John Miller. All right, John, give us some of the context here, how the FBI does work
06:37with local authorities. As you have the FBI Director pointing out, this is a state and local matter,
06:42so it is their call. Right. So under the kidnapping statute of law enforcement, and here he's putting
06:49a wedge between himself and the sheriff who has primary control over this case, it doesn't seem to play
06:57well with the partnership story. Yeah, it's a really interesting point here. And let's turn to where the DNA
07:04went, not being tested by the FBI, but instead being sent to Florida. Would it have been better
07:12to work through Quantico? Would it make a difference?
07:15You know, I'm not sure. Yeah, all good points and food for thought. John, thank you so much for that.
07:23Trump is defending the cost of his ballroom after asking taxpayers now to pick up its growing price
07:29tag, which is sitting now at more than a billion dollars. We are live. The emergence of drones has
07:35been a game changer on the battlefield from Ukraine to the Middle East. And now the U.S. military is
07:40looking at new ways to keep soldiers safe as the landscape of modern warfare evolves. CNN senior,
07:46newly anointed senior national security reporter Haley Britsky. You went to Fort Hood, Texas to get
07:52this inside look at how army medics are actually preparing for future conflicts. What did you see
07:57there? Yeah, Brianna. So first medical brigade at Fort Hood, how to perform these kind of medical,
08:02you know, surgeries, different kind of medical care in a way that will protect medical personnel and
08:08the wounded service members that they are taking care of. So it was broadly the exercise was kind of
08:13meant to see how do we, if they're doing this normally in some kind of outdoor hospital or even
08:19something improvised where you can even tell where they are, they're in deep danger. That's right.
08:24So the commander of first medical brigade made very clear, you know, the new report finds that
08:29physical assaults against Jewish people in the U.S. have reached a 46 year high. According to the
08:34Anti-Defamation League, more than 6200 anti-Semitic incidents were reported in total last year. That is 17
08:42every day, ranging from harassment to assault. CNN correspondent Bryn Gingrass has been digging
08:48into this new data. What are you seeing in it, Bryn? Yeah, Brianna. So that's 6200 in the United
08:55States, including D.C. That is a new number that they are putting out there. Also, we heard from some
09:01survivors of incidents, ones of just vandalism all the way up to someone who survived that attack in
09:07Boulder, Colorado, and the lasting feeling they feel as a Jewish person in this country after an
09:13attack has happened. And that's really what the ADL is pointing at, is how Jewish people right now feel,
09:18even if the numbers are down, the feeling of how, you know, walking around thinking something could
09:23happen to you because of your faith, that's still very high, of course, and concerning.
09:28Yes, certainly. And Bryn, just this week, several synagogues and homes in Queens were
09:32vandalized with images of swastikas. What do we know about that investigation?
09:37Yeah, so look, they're still looking for, might look at it and say it's just vandalism, but the
09:41pointing again to now this is a community in fear of where they live because they're being attacked
09:46for their faith. Yeah, certainly. All right, Bryn, thank you so much for the very latest there,
09:50as we continue to follow that.
