12:01 pm
new york land on new first because you're so sweet i like everyone. >> thank you so much. for joining me. this mother's day on for greek of whitfield were tracking new developments in gaza where israel appears to be moving ahead with plans for an invasion of rafah despite dark new warnings from top white house officials, israel defense forces launching fresh attacks against hamas overnight, targeting northern and central gaza, as well as rafah, the un says at least 300,000 people have evacuated the city amid fears of an impending is israeli ground operation. today, the white house says national security adviser jake sullivan spoke with his israeli counterpart about those plans. cnn's paula and cox and kevin love jack are following all of the latest polity. first, what is the latest on the ground in gaza well, fred, we are continuing to see people try
12:02 pm
and move it of the areas where the evacuation orders have been given. >> an also other parts of refer as well as shear to me that they're evacuation orders will be coming later now they're being told to move to the western part of the gaza strip. so the al-muwasi is one of the areas just along the coast, but it's been described as un by un teams on the ground as inhumane and saying that it is just not suitable for people to be moving to as the humanitarian situation is not good enough, there so what we are seeing is, of course, some cannot move. we're seeing some of the six, some of the wounded are unable to leave, were hearing from un groups as well that some of the people who are leaving now have left on average, once a month, they have been moved on by the israeli military, or they have been moved on for fear of being caught up in the fighting about once a month since october 7. so a desperate situation. and
12:03 pm
of course it's making the humanitarian crisis even worse as well. we know that the rafah crossing at this point, so the israeli military is in control of it, but egypt is saying that they are not willing to coordinate with israel at this point to try and reopen the crossing and bring more humanitarian aid trucks in. and they are citing security concerns it's not just the concern about getting the trucks into gaza. it is, of course, the distribution once they are in their and they're concerned for those truck drivers as well, driving into what is an active war zone. now we're hearing also the idf saying that some 200,000 trucks did manage to get in over the past few days through kerem shalom. this is of the fuel at this point, but many un groups on the ground as saying there is simply not enough food and water getting in. in fact, they are warning that some of their teams on the ground will run out of food to be able to distribute by sunday. that is
12:04 pm
today. also concerns that some of the bakeries, so which are partially open at this point, we'll run out of stock completely by tomorrow, by monday an already desperate situation becoming even more desperate. the idf says, though one extra crossing has been opened in the north of the area, very few details on that. and they are also carrying out these military operations in the north and in the central part as well. we're not just talking about southern gaza here because the israeli military says that they have intel that hamas is actually moving back to those areas. they are regrouping, they are trying to re-establish infrastructure there and we are seeing evacuation orders of civilians in jabalya for example, in the north, the refugee camp. this is an area that the israeli military said that they had cleared months ago, that they had eradicated hamas operatives from that particular area. but of course this is now showing just how
12:05 pm
difficult it is to try and read the gaza strip as, as israel puts it and destroying hamas completely showing just how difficult that is because they are having to go back to areas that they say were cleared of hamas militants all right, paula, thank you. kevin, to you. now, we've learned that national security advisor, jake sullivan spoke with his israeli counterpart today about rafah what is the white house saying about that conversation? >> yeah, i do think this is a significant phone calls the first time that we've seen a call like this announced since president biden delivered that ultimatum on cnn earlier this week, that if israel is to launch a ground invasion of rafah, that he would halt the shipment of certain types of weapons. and in this phone call, jake sullivan reiterated the president's concerns about a ground offensive in that city. he said that they discussed alternatives to a major invasion of rafah, the white house says that the israeli national security
12:06 pm
adviser confirmed that if was taking the us concerns into account. but at the end of the day, these concerns are not new precedent biden and top officials have been raising them for months dating back to february when president biden first raised his concerns with the prime minister benjamin netanyahu at the end of the day, netanyahu has said that it is essential to go into rafah to completely eliminate hamas that is completely different from what american officials believe. listen to a little bit of how the secretary of state antony blinken described the us view this morning presence been clear for some time that we couldn't and would not support a major military operation in rafah. now, at the same time we share israel's objective and making sure that hamas cannot govern gaza anymore that'd be demilitarized, that israel get its leaders. we continue to support that, but there's a better way of achieving that. then going headlong into, into rafah. that's what we're talking about with israel now,
12:07 pm
we have a better way of doing it. we're engaged in conversations with them about that so the president's announcement that he is prepared to condition some weapons, of course, making waves in the region, but also making waves politically here in the united states, you've heard a range of reactions, certainly from republicans who are opposed to his decision, but also arrange your view among democrats listened to how two democrats, the senator from this state, delaware, chris, and the senator from connecticut, described their views on this matter this morning. president biden is learning the mistakes of us military campaigns in iraq and afghanistan. what we learned in both of those efforts was that you cannot defeat a terrorist ideology. you're not cannot defeat a terrorist movement with military force alone. >> i think president biden has taken forceful action so much. so there's been a lot of blowback for his recent public statement and i'll remind you, other american presidents have done the same thing. when are
12:08 pm
close trusted partner isn't listening to private admonitions? >> so you. hear those two senators trying to backup the president's decision at the end of the day, all of the reaction in israel and in washington only underscores what a critical moment this war is it is indeed. >> all right, kevin lymph tech, paula hancocks. thanks to both of you all right. >> the stage is now set for the star witness to finally take the stand in donald trump's hush money trial tomorrow. trump's it's former fixer and attorney michael cohen is expected to testify. cohen's testimony is seen as key for the prosecution's case and could signal the final stages of this historic trial. he will testify to his role and no shading the alleged hush money payment to adult film star stormy daniel's on trump's behalf. and how his form former boss reimbursed him it follows a week of blockbuster contentious and at times graphic testimony from daniels, cnn, zach cohen joining us
12:09 pm
right now. so zach, what can we expect from cohen's testimony? >> you have read this is really a make or break moment for prosecutors in this case. michael cohen is the only witness who will take the stand and can testify to really the two core tenants of what prosecutors are alleging installed trump. you can can testify to that. donald trump agreed to this plan to pay stormy daniels, the adult film actress in order to stay quiet ahead of the 20th 16 election about their alleged involvement with each other romantically. and then there's also this the second half after donald trump took the oval office this meeting where they allegedly discussed a plan to reimburse michael cohen for fronting the money in order to keep stormy daniels quiet. so again, a lot hinges on what michael cohen will say when he takes the stand it takes the oath. starting tomorrow is the expectation and look at jurors. i've already heard a lot about michael cohen's are far from other witnesses who have been testifying over the last three weeks. and frankly, much of it has been unflattering. witnesses have testified that he essentially on reliable and
12:10 pm
predictable, and aggressive attorney and one who really demonstrated a lot of loyalty towards donald trump winning he was both an employee of donald trump's as a private citizen and then also after donald trump took the oval office, so remains to be seen how prosecutors and trump's defense attorneys will question michael cohen, but you can be sure that donald trump's attorneys will almost certainly continue to hammer home this idea that michael cohen's not credible and they will try to convince the jury that anything that he says should be thrown out and that he's in question, frankly, has he's a convicted liar prosecutors are going to say, look, we've laid the groundwork for his testimony in the last few days, even by introducing documents, text messages, and emails that do support the narrative that michael cohen has presented so far, both in the civil case against donald trump and his public comments. so we're going to see which way the jury liens. but again, a pivotal moment in this trial, and one that could determine ultimately determined whether or not donald trump's found guilty or not all right. >> is that cohen? thanks so much. us senator bob menendez
12:11 pm

12:16 pm
corruption trial of democratic senator bob menendez. prosecutors say menendez and his wife were engaged in a wide ranging corruption scheme to help pay the egyptian and qatari governments in exchange for lucrative bribes cnn's manu raju caught up with the senator on capitol hill ahead of the trial if you're he was like, really any thoughts about the trial as we head into next week, i'm looking forward to improving my innocence oh okay. >> i want to bring in former federal prosecutor, nima romani. good to see you so. >> all right. well, he says he looks forward to proving his innocence. now, when jury selection begins tomorrow, what kinds of jurors will each side be looking for? what might be some of the questions? shins are asked even prosecutors are going to look for jurors that are going to obviously have a pro prosecution bias. >> make sure you don't bring
12:17 pm
folks that are not skeptical because it is a very strong case for the government when hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash and gold bars i don't want jurors that going to maybe buy into conspiracy theories because we know the senator is going to argue that because you grew up in communist cuba and his father was a gambler, he had the scarcity mindset and it stash this money away because he was worried about putting it in a bank or some other more traditional form. so you gauge is a strong case, largely because of the evidence that has been publicly revealed. >> we're talking about the gold bars cars but what else will be weighed to see if prosecutors can prove that obtaining those things came by way of wrongdoing well, we have a cooperating witness. one of the co-defendants, jose uribe has pleaded guilty and agree to testify. so he's the one who provided that luxury mercedes to a menendez, his wife,
12:18 pm
agents. so here's going to be a key witness in something that is new as well. of course, we know the center there is going to argue like you did in its previous corruption trial in 2017, which hung that he was acting for the public good it was just advocating on behalf of constituents. but when you're dealing with military aid to egypt or financial dealings with qatar, i think that's gonna be a bridge too far for most jurors. unlike his previous case that did all right. >> senator menendez and his wife, as you mentioned, nadine are both being charged. they will be tried separately. do you see that prosecutors were tried to pit them against one another that perhaps because he's the bigger fish, his wife might be offered some sort of deal to testify against him, even potentially, yes. but i don't think they didn't is going to testify it shares some health issues and the fact that the defense was successfully able to get the trial severed. that was a win for the senator
12:19 pm
in the previous case. senator menendez and the eye doctor who was at the center of the corruption and bribery charges. they're presented a united defense, but not in this case we know that the senator is going to point the finger at his wife because she was the one that was more directly connected to these individuals. and this is going to say, listen i didn't, have anything to do with this. i didn't know what she was doing. she's the one that received the mercedes. she's the one that was paid for a no-show job and i really didn't know what was going on. i think we're going to see a divided defense, not a united one. in this particular all right. >> nima ramani, great to see you. thanks so much. >> thanks, jeremy i still ahead. >> we go inside a hospital in qatar where patients are recovering from the devastating injuries they suffered in gaza

12:36 pm
money initially and then trying to collect the money from the insurance industry as well as from the shipping company it's going to be long road. >> but right now, the key is to get the channels open get the bridge rebuilt, and that's what we are focusing on. we're going to have to find money that's not going to be an easy task as we're talking about. perhaps as much as 1 billion or more the collapse highlighted a lot of concerns that possibly other american bridges are in need of upgrades, especially involving those bridge pillar supports. >> so what kind of lessons can be learned from this tragedy? >> whether many and in fact, those license had been known for a long time in the infrastructure bill that president biden and the democrats put together nearly two-and-a-half, two years ago now there is a major portion of that trillion dollars, specifically for bridge repair.
12:37 pm
and for building new bridges. >> we know we've known for a long time, and this is not the first bridge that has collapsed that aren't bridges are in many places inadequate and/or in a state of serious disrepair and subject to collapse. >> so we have the money there. there are two different pots of money. one is what we call the major bridge pot of money. and is several hundred million dollars available for for a single bridge to be built for example, the big bridge in southern ohio into kentucky that was funded by that. so that's possibly a source of money for the baltimore situation. then there is a second pot of money that is to take care of smaller bridges, upgrade, and replace some line of it is. we've known this problem for a long time. president biden's leadership, together with the democrats in both the house and the senate. before the republicans took over the house. put together
12:38 pm
the single beta ics, vague repair program in this nation's history. and that money is now rolling out all the this nation. >> in addition to the transportation committee, you also serve on armed services. president biden, just last week that he would halt some weapons shipments to israel if prime minister netanyahu orders a major invasion of rafah and today, the secretary of state, antony blinken, said, national security adviser jake sullivan said biden made that decision because he didn't want american weapons used. and what he thinks will be a bloody and ill advised operation. do you agree with that reasoning and that approach? >> the presence absolutely. during the right thing keyword here, some weapons, other weapons that are needed to shoot down missiles. those iron dome and other men missile defense systems are going to continue to go defensive weapons gradient continue to be available israel. but the kind
12:39 pm
of horrendous civilian harm that has occurred in gaza as a result of israel's conduct of the war is simply not acceptable. it's unconscionable. it has to stop. the president is taking the right steps here. he is saying no, no more 2000 pound bombs. no, you're not going to get the bombs. you're not going to be able to do the kind of area of destruction that has killed so many in northern gaza. not going to do that. and good for the person it is the right thing to do doesn't stop israel for continuing to deal with hamas all right. in ways that do not put in jeopardy the civilian population meantime, the flip side to that is republican senator rick scott, among those that have been critical. >> this is what he said today. >> now, biden his unfortunately. now part of the pro-hamas wing of his party that's all they're worried about is he's worried about
12:40 pm
