Hey there from CNN, I'm David Rind with the five things you need to know for Monday, May 4th.
U.S.
Central Command says two US flag ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz today, noting American forces are quote actively assisting efforts to restore transit for commercial shipping.
However, Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed that no commercial vessels or oil tankers had transited the Strait of Hormuz, calling statements from US officials baseless and outright lies.
This all comes not long after President Donald Trump announced a plan to guide ships through the waterway where Iran is attempting to control shipping.
It's unclear though, if this plan will make shipping companies feel safe enough to sail at a pace needed to bring down global oil prices.
And retired Admiral James Stavridis says it's unclear what kind of firepower would be needed to provide that reassurance and make it stick.
To me, an escort would be think basketball.
It would be pretty close to a man-to-man kind of defense.
You'd put probably five merchants together, put a guided missile cruiser with them and you drive through the strait together to give them protection.
Think one aircraft carrier, two dozen guided missile destroyers, half a dozen frigates, 300 Air Force aircraft, 50 Army.
It would take a lot of capacity to keep that strait open.
More news coming up, including Putin paranoia in Russia.
Stick around.
You survived the Miami weekend, nailed the speech and maxed out your credit card in the name of friendship.
Now you've got one hangover, four pastel dresses, and zero reasons to wear them again.
Sell them on Depop, just snap a few photos, and we'll take care of the rest.
And you at least get some of your dignity money back.
Someone on Depop wants what you've got.
Start selling now.

Where taste recognizes taste.
Russia is holding its annual Victory Day parade this week in Moscow's Red Square.
But this year's version will be pretty scaled back.
No heavy weaponry such as armor and missiles rolling down the streets.
It's just the latest sign that things are not going that great for Russia.
It has suffered losses on the battlefield in Ukraine and its economy is faltering back home.
And now new intelligence suggests Russian President Vladimir Putin is feeling more anxious than ever.
CNN Chief International Security Correspondent Nick Paton Walsh has been looking into this.
Nick, what do we know?
David, there is a stark amount of detail about heightening security measures around Russian President Vladimir Putin in this European Intelligence Agency report that a source close to that agency has given CNN.
It talks about cooks, bodyguards, photographers, needing to have surveillance systems put into their homes.
They're being banned from using public transport smartphones.
Putin's movements himself are being limited.
Heightened concerns that seem to stem from a fear of assassination after a high profile meeting in the Kremlin in which there was a dispute about who should be in charge of Top Brass' security, and a fear too, potentially of a coup.
A lot of this hard to corroborate but startling detail here.
At least 13 people were hospitalized after a mass shooting at a lake party near Oklahoma City last night.
Authorities say the shooting occurred around 9pm at a campground near Arcadia Lake, which is about 13 miles north of Oklahoma City.
An Edmond Police spokesperson says there are no suspects currently in custody.
CNN affiliate KOKH is reporting that investigators believe the shooters were two men wearing ski masks when they opened fire.
That said, police say the incident is not considered to be an ongoing threat to the public.
CNN has reached out to local hospitals and authorities for more details.
And this wasn't even the only mass shooting this weekend.
On Saturday in Amarillo, Texas authorities say two people were killed and 10 others were injured at a party involving juveniles and young adults.
Rudy Giuliani is in critical but stable condition.
That's what a spokesperson for the former New York City mayor said on Sunday.
It's unclear why the 81-year-old longtime ally of President Trump is in the hospital.
Here's what Giuliani told his viewers on his ex-show America's Mayor Live on Friday.
Good evening, this is Rudy Giuliani and this is America's Mayor Live.
Live from Palm Beach, Florida.
And my voice is a little under the weather, so I won't be able to speak as loudly as I usually do, but I'll get closer to the microphone.
Coming up.
It's Met Gala Monday, and we'll tell you what to expect from one of the biggest nights in fashion.
Stick around.
It could be anything.
Canva helps you make that thing a thing.
Canva is a simple online tool thing.
It's a way to design with our magic AI tool things.

Whatever needs to be done for your thing, Canva can make it an even better and bigger thing.
Canva, the thing that makes anything.
It's the first Monday in May and that means the Met Gala is happening, the huge, star-studded event held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
The theme of this year's gala is costume art, and it's being underwritten by Amazon co-founder Jeff Bezos and his wife Lauren Sanchez.
And that's raising a few eyebrows.
Leah Dolan from CNN Style is here.
Leah, why is Bezos' participation causing so much controversy?
Yeah, David, on the Bezoses, they are this year's main benefactors.
So both Jeff Bezos and his wife, Lauren Sanchez Bezos, are attending as honorary chairs.
And I think this really comes at a time where a lot of people are anxious about growing income inequality.
And so this billionaire involvement is causing controversy and inspiring activism across New York.
But it's important to note that this event is the primary fundraiser for the Met's Costume Institute, So all the funds donated will go towards preserving and conserving the more than 33000 objects in that museum.
That's all we got for now.
Next update comes your way later tonight.
I'll talk to you later.
I'm CNN tech reporter Claire Duffy.
This week on the podcast, Terms of Service.
What do we know about how much AI is contributing to energy consumption, energy demand right now?
And how does that compare with other industries?
The best resource for that is the International Energy Agency, which is sort of the global energy think tank that collects data on all of this.
And what they predict is that about 8 of the additional electricity that we're going to need by 2030 that will be for data centers.
The other 92% is for other things, industry electrification, electric vehicles.
And AI is really only driving part of that increase in demand.
