00:00Standing down for now. After a weekend of trading strikes, the Trump administration says the U.S. and Iran are
00:05headed back to the negotiating table, but Iran just spoke out and said, not so fast.
00:11Those are some temperatures. Those are some temperatures, and a lot of people are going to be out in it.
00:17All right, let's turn to this right now. The U.S. and Iran are said to be standing down after
00:21a violent flare-up near the Strait of Hormuz.
00:23But there are, again, maybe we should just say deja vu all over again, mixed messages coming in about whether
00:30they will be meeting again to continue talks this week.
00:34Both sides exchanged fire with Iran targeting U.S. military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain, but a U.S. official
00:40says that no Iranian drones or missiles hit their intended targets.
00:43President Trump at one point threatened to fully resume fighting, posting that, quote, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no
00:51longer exist if he goes that route.
00:54But U.S. officials say the talks remain on track.
00:57Both sides are expected to meet in Qatar tomorrow, but stand by to stand by, because it is unclear, as
01:03an Iranian negotiator just said, that no technical talks are scheduled on any major issues.
01:09CNN's Julia Benbrook is live at the White House for us this morning.
01:14Julia, I don't know if you've been able to get any clarity on if talks are happening or not, or
01:20they're just, again, talking past each other.
01:22What's the latest you're picking up?
01:24Thank you so much.
01:25It feels like we need to stay very close to this one today.
01:28Sarah.
01:29All right, thank you.
01:30Today, Alec Murdoch is due back in court in South Carolina for the first time since his double murder convictions
01:37were thrown out.
01:38The big question is, will there be a retrial?
01:41Murdoch is accused of killing his wife and son.
01:44We followed that trial very closely.
01:46He remains in prison, though, still today, after being convicted of separate financial crimes.
01:52CNN's Diane Gallagher is outside court.
01:55What is the latest?
01:56What could happen from here?
02:00Not much for that.
02:01Let us see what happens today.
02:03Sarah.
02:03All right.
02:03All right, so joining us right now are CNN military analysts, retired Colonel Cedric Layton, and CNN global affairs analyst
02:11Brett McGurk.
02:12Brett, let me start with you.
02:13As the president is up and posting, he just posted a moment ago, Iran has requested a meeting.
02:20It will take place tomorrow in Doha.
02:22That has been kind of a big question since this weekend, if meetings, technical meetings, any kind of meetings were
02:29actually going to happen.
02:31We're now four months and a day since the U.S. launched this war with Iran.
02:37And talks in general over Iran's nuclear program are really up in the air and being tested following this fresh
02:44round of strikes.
02:45Where would you say things are today?
02:49Airplane, guys.
02:50So exciting.
02:51So exciting.
02:51All right, still have for us another close call on the runway after a private jet almost crosses in front
02:57of an American Airlines plane, attempting to take off.
03:00And you also, those tense moments can be heard on air traffic control radio.
03:05Plus, a new video of rescuers pulling a driver from a pond.
03:09What led to this underway right now after a skydiving plane crashed in the northeast of France on Sunday.
03:20The crash killed everyone on board, a pilot and 10 passengers.
03:24Officials say the plane crashed almost vertically is how they described it and right next to a housing development.
03:30Thankfully, no bystanders, anyone on the ground were among the casualties.
03:33This also comes just weeks after another skydiving plane crash that we reported on.
03:37You're probably thinking you've heard of this.
03:38That one crashed right after takeoff in Missouri.
03:42Twelve people were killed there.
03:44There's also this.
03:45NASA is racing to save a telescope that could potentially crash back to Earth.
03:51It's called the Swift Telescope.
03:53It's been apparently sinking in space because of recent intense solar activity.
03:58Now NASA is teaming up with a robotic spacecraft company for a $30 million salvage operation, essentially pushing Swift back
04:06into higher orbit.
04:07Officials say that this operation, this mission, will take around three months.
04:13Kate Middleton climbed the three highest peaks in the U.K. over the weekend.
04:18Here's a little picture of it.
04:20She did it all solo and she did it to raise awareness for cancer.
04:23More than a year after she announced that her cancer is in remission, the Princess of Wales completed the National
04:29Three Peaks Challenge.
04:30She climbed 23 miles over the three highest mountains of Scotland, England and Wales, all within 24 hours.
04:37Sarah?
04:38That's impressive.
04:40Good for her.
04:40That's good to see.
04:41Thank you so much, Kate.
04:43New strikes, mixed messages from President Trump and Iran about where things stand this morning.
04:49And weather talks in Qatar are still on.
04:51A top Iranian negotiator says that there are no technical talks scheduled this week on any major issue.
04:57But President Trump posted just a short time ago.
05:00A decision comes just after.
05:01A Trump administration official says that the U.S. and Iran agreed to, the way they put it, is stand
05:05down for now from a weekend full of flare-ups near the Strait of Hormuz.
05:09Both sides exchanging fire.
05:11Iran targeted U.S. military sites in Kuwait and Bahrain.
05:15A U.S. official says that no Iranian drones or missiles, though, hit their intended targets.
05:19But there are images that do show a residential building in Bahrain that appears to, obviously, various weekend, threaten to
05:27fully resume the U.S. military operation against Iran,
05:31posting that the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist.
05:36Sina's Julia Benbrook is live at the White House for us this morning.
05:39What's the latest you're picking up now?
05:42All right, Julia Benbrook at the White House for us.
05:44Thank you so much.
05:45Sarah?
05:46All right.
05:47Breaking this morning, multiple hours took, you know, two days to dig him out once they located him.
05:53Just a remarkable outcome.
05:54Yeah, I heard another woman, an elderly, I think it was an elderly woman.
05:58They found her, but then it took 11 hours to try to get her out.
06:01It's such a delicate operation.
06:03With how that's pan kicked down those buildings.
06:05We're going to continue to follow this.
06:06Clearly, those rescue efforts urgently continue.
06:10Today, Luigi Mangione returns to court with a big question lingering now.
06:16Is there a possible plea deal still on the table?
06:19We have so many details coming in this morning.
06:21We'll bring those to you.
06:22And the FAA launches an investigation after a close call this weekend at a major airport.
06:28What we're learning today.
06:31The man accused of killing the CEO of UnitedHealthcare is due back in court today.
06:36And sources now tell CNN that Luigi Mangione's attorneys, they have discussed a possible plea deal agreement with federal prosecutors.
06:45But there's a big question around that still lingering today.
06:48CNN's Karras Kinnett, what are you hearing about the discussions around a plea deal?
06:52So today's court appearance in federal court is supposed to be discussions about the schedule and jury selection.
06:58Reach a deal with federal prosecutors.
07:00It's possible that could happen and the state case would go away.
07:03But these are all a bunch of balls in the air and nothing has been really decided.
07:07We'll be in court today.
07:08We know right now there is a trial set for September.
07:10But what could come out in court could give some really interesting new insight into kind of these discussions going
07:17on behind the scenes.
07:18So that's where we'll watch it so closely today.
07:20It's great to see you.
07:21Thanks so much.
07:22Sarah.
07:22And it has now been five days since the back-to-back earthquakes just rocked the coast of Venezuela.
07:28The official death toll is now at more than 1,400.
07:32There are so many more still missing.
07:34But there's out of Florida.
07:36And joining us right now is the founder, Michael Capone, who just arrived in country, I believe this weekend, Saturday
07:43morning.
07:43It's good to speak with you, Michael.
07:45You're just kind of getting on the ground.
07:47Can you give me your first impressions of what you're seeing?
07:50In Virginia, was pulled to safety after her car plunged into a pond.
07:56First responders found the woman trapped inside the sinking car, formed a human chain.
08:00To rescue her, police say that she was treated for minor injuries.
08:03The incident is now under investigation.
08:07If the World Cup wasn't enough for you, sports fans, Wimbledon kicks off today.
08:11Among the stars, taking to the grass courts, seven-time Wimbledon singles champion, six-time women's doubles champion, Serena Williams.
08:20She's returning to the tournament for the first time since 2022 when she exited in the opening round.
08:26Williams says this time she is just looking to enjoy the experience and probably have some pretty good wins at
08:33the same time, John.
08:35Oh, she's looked like you.
08:36Breaking news coming in moments ago.
08:38President Trump says Iran has asked for a meeting and it will happen tomorrow.
08:42But Iran says maybe not.
08:45Plus, is birthright citizenship about to be thrown out?
08:49We're waiting.
08:50Critical final decisions from the Supreme Court as they wrap up a momentous term.
08:56And a dinner party with your new neighbors.
08:58What could possibly go wrong or so right?
09:01Edward Norton joins us on set today to talk about his new film, The Invite.
09:05I'm Kate Baldwin with Sarah Seidner and John Berman.
09:07This is CNN News Central.
09:09Joining us right now is Democratic Congressman Johnny Olszewski of Maryland.
09:13He sits on the House Foreign Affairs Committee.
09:15Thanks for being here, Congressman.
09:17Of the back-and-forth strikes this weekend, I want to play for you what Republican Senator Roger Marshall said
09:24about it all,
09:25kind of the state of where things are at this moment.
09:27Let me play this.
09:29We're standing by very soon to hear from the Supreme Court and some potentially huge decisions from the justices on
09:35presidential power in several major cases,
09:39including the president's challenge to birthright citizenship, challenge on mail-in ballots, transgender rights, and Trump's firing of federal officials.
09:48Seen as Paula Reid is outside the Supreme Court, she's going to be tracking it all for us.
09:52It could be a very busy day.
09:53But lay out for everyone, kind of walk through what we could be getting today.
09:59Well, the Supreme Court will not issue its opinions until 10, but we already have big news here, Kate.
10:04The Supreme Court has announced that it will decline to hear President Trump's appeal of a $5 million jury verdict
10:11won by E. Jean Carroll back in 2023 for sex abuse and defamation.
10:18We've been waiting for quite some time for them to weigh in on whether they will hear that case.
10:22They're making it clear right now they will not entertain this appeal.
10:26Now, that is called an order.
10:28This is when the court decides what cases they will and will not be taking up.
10:32Then, in about half an hour, they will release opinions for the cases that they have heard over the past
10:37year.
10:38They're down to eight opinions that we are waiting for.
10:40Now, a lot of them have to do with President Trump, the extent of his executive power.
10:46Those include questions about birthright citizenship.
10:49Can he limit that right through executive order?
10:53Also, big questions about who he can and cannot fire within the federal government.
10:58Now, there are two other really big cases that we're watching for.
11:01They're not directly related to President Trump, but they're sort of Trump-adjacent issues.
11:05One is about transgender students and whether they can participate in girls' sports.
11:10We're looking at that one very closely when it comes in.
11:13It's so significant because, of course, there are a lot of questions around elections, election rules, election integrity.
11:19And we have this critical midterm coming up in the presidential race in 2028.
11:23So, depending on how they decide this case, there could be additional litigation about early in-person voting.
11:29And it could really open up a whole new vein of what it means to vote.
11:33So, a lot of big cases that we are watching and waiting for, we do not expect today, will be
11:39the last day of opinions.
11:40So, we'll get, could get some, won't get all.
11:43It's good to see you, Paula.
11:44Thank you so much.
11:45I really appreciate it.
11:46Sarah?
11:47All right.
11:47So, we had a big movie date, right?
11:50We did.
11:51And for about two hours, we grabbed each other's arms.
11:54We tried not to look at each other also.
11:55In a mixture of laughter and horror.
11:58The invite is funny, provocative, amazing, and awkward.
12:01It stars Penelope Cruz, Edward Norton, Seth Rogen, and Olivia Wilde, who also directed the film.
12:06Take a look.
12:08That only scratches the surface with us now as Academy Award nominee.
12:12We loved it.
12:13We just loved it.
12:14And if you do me a favor, because I don't think I can adequately do it, can you just sort
12:18of explain what the film is about?
12:20Or how would you say, like, what is this film?
12:22And Olivia play a couple who are maybe at the dead end, I think, kind of send a lot of
12:31people into a meditation on what it means to be in a long-term relationship.
12:35Yeah.
12:36Yeah.
12:36It sort of hits the high and the low, and I think that's a testament to it.
12:39I would not get up to go to the bathroom.
12:41Yeah.
12:42I'm just wondering what you did when you looked at the script there.
12:44And what's wild is they've made this film in Poland, and many, many people will really be able to relate
12:49to some dimension of what gets discussed in this.
12:52You've done so many amazing projects and worked with so many really outstanding people.
12:58I saw when you were talking about, like, the creative space that Olivia Wilde created for you, allowed for you
13:03guys to do.
13:04I saw that you wrote, you came up with that final monologue towards the end of the film that was,
13:10like, what was this like?
13:12You know, it's funny, like, the creative and collaborative experiences amongst us.
13:19And I just, huge testament to Olivia, because I think she, to give that kind of a performance while all...
13:25That monologue messed me up.
13:26You do laugh and cry.
13:28I think a friend of mine said, that's the hardest I've laughed in a long time, and I'm going to
13:32go home and have a good sob in the closet right now.
13:35That's the best way to describe this film.
13:36Welcome to the journey.
13:38They take you high and low, and working through all that's what kind of makes us all human.
13:44And I think, I do think when a film, when people see themselves in a story, it's when it really,
13:51it really happens.
13:52When you desperately don't want to be part of that story, if you know what I mean.
13:56Thank you all, Edward Norton.
13:57This has been CNN News Central.
13:59Situation up next.
