CNN 5 Things

Hey from CNN, I'm Ifeoma Dike with the five things you need to know for Friday, May 1st.

They want to make a deal, but I'm not satisfied with it, so we'll see what happens.

President Donald Trump is casting doubt on whether we'll soon see a negotiated settlement to end the war. In rejecting Iran's latest peace proposal, he didn't spell out precisely what he wouldn't accept. Trump said his options on Iran boil down to a major military escalation or striking a deal.

Do we want to go and just blast the hell out of him and finish him forever, or do we want to try and make a deal? I mean, those are the options. Do you want to blast the hell out of him? I'd prefer not. On a human basis, I'd rather not, but that's the option.

An Iranian source tells CNN the country doesn't trust the U.S. and didn't understand why it abandoned talks in Pakistan in the last round. The source said it could see talks restarting if the U S lifts its blockade of Iranian ports and Iran fully reopens the Strait of Hormuz. Meanwhile, more than a dozen people were killed in Israeli strikes in southern Lebanon yesterday and today, despite an extended ceasefire, according to Lebanon's health ministry. Hezbollah reportedly struck northern Israel with rockets and drones.

Up next, we'll hear from some demonstrators who are part of the millions marching in worldwide May Day protests.

Workers in parts of the U.S. and around the world took part in May Day rallies calling for peace, higher wages, and better working conditions. Many are grappling with rising energy costs and shrinking purchasing power tied to the Iran War. Protesters turned out to highlight the theme of workers over billionaires along a number of avenues, from teacher pay to affordable childcare to immigrant rights. Marches directed much of the anger protesters are feeling toward the Trump administration, highlighting concerns like gas prices. Which jumped another 9 cents today to $4.39 a gallon for regular, according to AAA. Here's some who participated in protests in Chicago.

All these issues that seem unrelated, Iran and Gaza and ICE raids and all those, I think actually are related. They're about concentrating power and wealth in the hands of a few people. And that's not good for any of us, so I'm here to protest that.

I've got grandchildren and great grandchildren and I see their way of life being stolen. America's being fleeced and I don't understand why people aren't worried about it.

What most people are coming out is that, you know, the country has kind of left a lot of us behind. And as a healthcare worker, I see that in my patients every day, and it's really distressing.

Police recovered human remains from a second missing doctoral student from the University of South Florida. They've been identified as belonging to Nahita Bristy, located in a black trash bag spotted on the shoreline near a Tampa Bay area bridge Sunday, two days after the body of the first missing student, Zamil Limon, was found.

The details of this investigation are gruesome, and the actions of the suspect are nothing short of pure evil.

That's the Hillsborough County Sheriff earlier today. Bristy and Limon were both 27 years old and originally from Bangladesh. They were last seen on April 16 in Tampa. Like Limon, Bristy suffered multiple stab wounds. The motive for the killings remains unclear. Limon's roommate is in custody and has been charged with two counts of first degree premeditated murder with a weapon.

A federal magistrate judge privately admonished prosecutors for attempting to grandstand at a detention hearing for the alleged gunman at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. That's according to a transcript obtained by CNN. Justice Department prosecutors were attempting to introduce videos and photos of guns they said the defendant had when the judge stepped in. Here's CNN's Katelyn Polantz.

What happened in court is the judge stopped them from presenting that additional evidence. She said to them, I don't know what's going on here. I know that you want to present your case, I guess, to some audience other than the court. I don't want this to turn into a circus.

Coming up, the fate of Spirit Airlines hangs in the balance.

Well, I guess we're looking at it. If we could do it, we'd do it. But only if it's a good deal.

President Trump teased that an announcement on whether the administration will bail out Spirit Airlines could come, quote, today or tomorrow. Earlier today, The Wall Street Journal reported that the budget airline is preparing to cease operations as early as this weekend, as it struggles to get backing from bondholders and the government. Last month, Trump said he would consider purchasing Spirit if the administration could get it at the right price. Becky Blaine, the managing editor of the travel website, The Points Guy, explains what this means for travelers.

It means that they could run out of cash within days and shut down with little to no notice as soon as this weekend. And so if you have a ticket booked on Spirit, I would be rebooking on another airline if you really have to travel on the days that you have to.

That is it for us. Tune in tomorrow for a new episode of 5 Good Things.
