Sciutto was returning from a spell reporting in Ukraine when the incident occurred.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Confider report notes that CNN has been flying their people directly out of the embattled nation via Poland, so it&#8217;s not clear why Sciutto decided to stop off in the Netherlands.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The article goes on to says: &#8216;We hear Sciutto has since recovered from the incident.&#8217; The report links his current absence to the Amsterdam trip.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Sciutto typically anchors CNN Newsroom Monday through Friday alongside Harlow. He regularly writes articles for the network&#8217;s website and weighs in on other show&#8217;s with regard to national security issues.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">On October 3, Sciutto published an article on <a class rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2022\/10\/03\/politics\/ukraine-russia-putin-nuclear-weapons-us\/index.html\">CNN.com<\/a> titled: &#8216;US considering responses to possible Russian escalation in Ukraine, including its potential use of tactical nuclear weapons.&#8217;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Emmy Award winning Sciutto has been married to his wife, former ABC News correspondent Gloria Riviera since 2006. The couple has three children together.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Sciutto has made three trips to Ukraine in 20220 in his role as CNN&#8217;s chief national security reporter.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The first was in February, the second in March and the third and most recent was in at the end of April.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">On May 1, Sciutto posted a photo in Poland on Twitter, where CNN has been flying their people out of Ukraine from. The following day, he was back in CNN studios presenting his show.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">According to a March 10 tweet, Sciutto&#8217;s celebrated his birthday while reporting in Ukraine.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">This latest blow to CNN&#8217;s scheduled programming comes weeks\u00a0after CNN announced a &#8216;reimagined&#8217; morning show featuring famously progressive anchor Don Lemon &#8211; despite new CEO Chris Licht&#8217;s repeated pledges to move the network away from left-leaning commentary.<\/p>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-4d898417109ce96c\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/63157589-11284817-image-a-5_1665008402187.jpg\" height=\"354\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Sciutto, 52, presented the Newsroom on the struggling network alongside Poppy Harlow on Monday\" class=\"nothing\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Sciutto, 52, presented the Newsroom on the struggling network alongside Poppy Harlow on Monday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-c19c867a8481b015\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/63157591-11284817-image-a-6_1665008407180.jpg\" height=\"357\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Sciutto did not appear on the show on Tuesday or Wednesday\" class=\"nothing\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Sciutto did not appear on the show on Tuesday or Wednesday<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"artSplitter mol-img-group\">\n<div class=\"mol-img\">\n<div class=\"image-wrap\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"i-30271d29d7dcec1d\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/63155963-11284817-image-a-24_1665006438191.jpg\" height=\"631\" width=\"634\" alt=\"Sciutto typically anchors CNN Newsroom Monday through Friday alongside Poppy Harlow\" class=\"nothing\" \/><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p class=\"imageCaption\">Sciutto typically anchors CNN Newsroom Monday through Friday alongside Poppy Harlow<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Licht, who replaced ousted boss Jeff Zucker last February, added that other changes include anchor Alisyn Camerota and legal analyst Laura Coates sharing the 10pm through 12am time slot &#8211; a post that will be left abandoned by Lemon.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;By adding the insights, experience and strong voices of Alisyn and Laura, we will advance and expand on that coverage, creating something complimentary and compelling in primetime,&#8217; Licht said of Camerota and Coates.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Since taking the helm, Licht, has demonstrated a desire to move away from opinionated reporting that became especially prevalent during Donald Trump&#8217;s election campaign and subsequent presidency.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Insiders have since said that the longtime televisions exec &#8211; headed Stephen Colbert&#8217;s Late Show for six years until it was announced he was replacing Zucker &#8211; wants to return to the station&#8217;s roots as a hard-hitting news source.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">So far, Licht&#8217;s tenure has seen a marked decrease in partisan panels featuring outspoken anchors such as former Trump aide Alyssa Farah.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">However, the recent shakeup with Lemon &#8211; who has long criticized conservatives such as Donald Trump and has touted woke ideals on the air &#8211; seems to contradict this effort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">CNN announced the change last week, revealing that Lemon will officially sign off from his 10 p.m.-midnight block on October 7.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">At that point, the network will launch its new morning program, which will be headed by Lemon, as well as co-anchors Poppy Harlow and Kaitlan Collins.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">So far, Jim Sciutto appears to have been unaffected by the shake-ups at CNN.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"adHolder watermark\" id=\"inread_player\"><span class=\"mol-ads-label-container\"><span class=\"mol-ads-label\">Advertisement<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"external-source-links\" class=\"item\" data-track-module=\"am-external-links^external-links\">\n  <span>Read more:<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>EXCLUSIVE: CNN&#8217;s Jim Sciutto is absent from the air after it was revealed he suffered a &#8216;serious fall&#8217;
