Jeremy diamond didnt tel aviv and this is cnn are expected to begin Monday Morning in New York City. Prosecutors will be telling the jury their side of the story for the very first time protests could very easily escalate. In general, the campus feels extremely only hostile. This is not a welcoming environment. I think this is a very difficult time for a lot of jewish student it sends a Messenger Motivation for us, ukrainians who are not alone. It sends also very important signal to put in russia that youre not going to win this war live from london this is cnn with max foster hello, and a warm welcome to our viewers, joining us from Around The World that max foster, it is a monday, april the 22nd, 9am here in london and 4m in new york are just a few hours. Donald trumps historic Hush Money Trial is set to get underway. Thats what Opening Statements will be heard. Now that a jury has been sworn in after they statements lawyers for the prosecution and defense will leach present their cases in that order as well. A reminder of the charges that trump faces 34 counts of falsifying Business Records. Thats a Class E Felony in new york each count is punishable by up to four years in prison trump denies any wrongdoing has pleaded not guilty soon as Marshall Cohen gives us a closer look at the several of the potential witnesses who could be called to the stand. Whats finally here, Opening Statements are expected to begin Monday Morning in New York City, in former president Donald Trumps hush money criminal trial. This is of course, the very first time in American History that a former president is standing trial for alleged crimes. This is all about a coverup in 2016, donald trump paid 130,000 to Stormy Daniels, the Adult Film Star, to prevent her from going public with allegations of an affair he denies the affair the alleged crime that prosecutors theory of this case is all about the falsification of Business Records at the Trump Organization how trump org pay back michael cohen, trumps attorney at the time, paid him back for that Hush Money Payment according to the prosecutors the Trump Organization and donald trump at the head falsified Business Records falsely suggesting that those were routine legal retainers and Legal Services when really it was a Hush Money Payment intended to prevent the voters from Laurie Burning about Stormy Daniels allegations. Its a novel legal theory that will be tested and under the microscope for perhaps the next six weeks. Thats how long were expecting things to go . So Opening Statements are monday and eventually we will get into Witness Testimony and there is a big cast of characters that are expected to swear to tell the truth in front of the jury. Michael cohen himself, in many ways is the star witness of this case. His credibility will be crucial. Theres also Stormy Daniels. She is expected to tell her side of the story. Theres also hope hicks, a trump 2016 campaign official, karen mcdougal, who is a another woman who alleged an affair with donald trump. And then theres also david. He was involved with the National Enquirer the tabloid that is central to this alleged scheme, according to the indictment. And cohen and trump met shortly after trump announced his campaign in 2015, and they all agreed according to the prosecutors, that they would quote unquote, catch and kill negative stories about trump basically paying people on off, buying their silence, agreeing to purchase the rights to their story and burying it so that the voters would never learn of those allegations. And the voters did did not actually learn about the alleged Stormy Daniels affair until after the election after trump had made his way to the white house. Thats what were expecting from Opening Statements. The prosecutors will be telling the jury their side of the story for the very first time. And of course, trumps Defense Attorneys have their own opportunity as well. It all starts New York CityMonday Morning. Marshall cohen, cnn washington. Lets go deeper, look at the people deciding this case says martial mentioned youve got 12 jurors, seven men and five women, as well as six alternates from what we know. Theres a fairly wide variety of educational and professional backgrounds. There are two lawyers and Investment Banker who follows trump on truth, social, a speech therapist, and a physical therapist, amongst others, and a woman who says, trump seems very selfish chose to tally is a Criminal Defense Attorney joining us now from san francisco. Thank you so much for joining us. What did you make of the Jury Selection . And will it hold well, i do think that the trial will quickly descend into a Lot Of Chaos Circus is a term that i think will, will, will apply Jury Selection is very random. It can be a science, it could be an art. The best jury, people who select juries are artists. So i think the fact that we can, we can definitely point to the fact that there are professionals on there. There are to turn please. As you mentioned, and there are professional Money Managers who have experienced with accountants and may be amenable and open to trumps defense of a technical defense its gonna be interesting today, isnt it . Because we do get the Opening Statements. If im right from both sides definitely. While the Opening Statements are a road map with a case like this, where both sides have so much at stake and at such a high visibility trial, you can bet that these openings are very, very well thought out and very planned out. And well get to see and hear from both sides. Theres no sense in holding back at opening in this case. I think both sides are going to throw as much of their case out there to the public as possible everybodys heard the expression, the First Impression is the most important, and thats what an Opening Statement is for a case very clear charges laid against him perhaps its easier for the prosecution to lay out their Opening Argument and harder for the defense whos going to have to go through a series of complex arguments, presumably to try to undermine all of those charges that are there i think certainly the government has a sort of Connect The Dots approach or paint by numbers the lives theyre their argument their case tends to be more stale, more dry, more legally base the defense has a a bigger canvas to play with, so to speak, more colors, bigger palette and it will be important for them lawyers have to convey ideas and information, make it succinct, and yet relatable. So, yes, its a little bit harder for the defense, but they have to do it and i anticipate that they will do a good job in this case. Im putting forth the defense in a relatable manner because of the fame of the defendant so much focus is going to be on him and his reactions. Is that something that theyre going to really have to consider in this trial when quite often the focus in the courtroom will be purely on the lawyers certainly yes, i normally speaking, as a defense attorney, you tell your client that they should just be a potted plant, just sit there and dont do anything to bring attention to yourself. In this case. I dont think that type of advice will work on donald trump however, i think that they do need to stick to their defense. Focus on the facts that are favorable to them and really theyll have to argue their case in a manhattan jury. That will definitely be very antitrump. Theyll have to at least make their argument neutral. Listen, even if you dont like trump, you have to acknowledge facts a, b, and c, and that supports the defense chose its totally its gonna be a fascinating day. Thank you so much for joining us and giving us your preview. I do watch cnns special coverage of the trump Hush Money Trial today. 90 im in you pass to chem hearing now, crucial much 5 billion foreign Aid Package Heads to the us senate this week after the house approved it on saturday, it includes 61 billion for ukraine.

Cnns Priscilla Alvarez has details on how the white house is reacting the United States senate is expected to take up the National Security bills passed by the house over the weekend. The white house applauding that move, saying that these bills were necessary in these funds to ukraine are urgently needed. The president in a statement saying, quote, i urge the senate to quickly send this package to my desk so that i can sign it into law. Going on to say, we can quickly send weapons and equipment to ukraine to meet their urgent battlefield. Meades. Now of course, this was a win for the white house this weekend, especially after months of asking congress to pass it additional funding for ukraine, noting over the last few days that it is a pivotal moment. And with us officials warning that ukraine could lose the war by the end of the year if they didnt get that aid. But now they are on track to get that necessary assistance. All its ukraine, but also to israel among other National Security priorities Defense Secretary austin saying, also over the weekend, the package would quote, surge, lifesaving Security Assistance to ukraine, support israel, and increase the flow of humanitarian aid into gaza. Now of course, there are steps that still need to play out in this process, but it is expected to pass the senate, then go to the president s desk for a signature putting an end to a month long fight by the white house to get these funds to ukraine Priscilla Alvarez, cnn, washington Republican HouseSpeaker Mike Johnson is under fire from some members of his own party.

Its my absolute honor to be in congress, but i serve with some real scum bags members, members are tired. Were exhausted.

Thats now ended. Palestinians in Central Gaza Digging Through Rubble and debris. Days after Israeli Forces ended military operations in the area of one, a refugee camp. Many that now searching for personal belongings, mementos of their life before the war began. Soon as Nic Robertson reports like so many layers of paper palestinian homes, Pancaked NuseiratRefugee Neighborhood in central gaza demolished during a week long idf raid i add a layer which is this threatens the israeli army Wedding Dress store owner Mohammed Azra asks for something that this was his store before the attack. He says he opened it a year ago label stuff. Ive put all my blood, sweat, and tears and money come to building this business. He says, now there is nothing this is an industry bubble feeling. The push one button. And they ended our lives, i guess a value the idf destruction here as iran attacked israel and the world worried about regional escalation israels war in gaza, though not missing and a beat this mother calling her Childrens School books from the rubble, clinging to memories, bravely, bitter about those the Israeli Military claims to target hamas. A wellness. I hate hamas first and foremost, she says dont cut my words, keep rolling they brought this on us. This is not jihad. This is not resistant. Go resist that the border resist between the buildings and the people that destroying the people judgment of you meanwhile in raffa, where the idf says hamas brigades are still hiding, strikes continue and despite us pressure, still no publicized plan of how to protect the 1. 2 million palestinians living there ahead of an expected israeli assault the raffa morgue wrapped in a single large body bag, an uncaught brings the remains of several children who were among 12 of his relatives killed overnight lets Show Bucket Level thought they were children who had him.

Im a lucky no one cares that arent suzan abu touha says, the israeli is committing massacres while the world watches, look at what theyve done, we cant find whole bodies, only bits of them more than 34,000 palestinians killed in gaza. Now, according to the Health Ministry, irrespective of who they blame, all here, feeling helpless to hold back the seemingly inevitable idf offensive in over the past week, the idf calling up to reserve brigades, for operational activities in raffa on thursday to senior israeli officials briefed president bidens National Security adviser on their planning which until now at least has not satisfied the white house that civilians will be safe Nic Robertson cnn jerusalem nada is here. Im want me what intelligence were getting on whether or not rather will be theyll be a Ground Operation as soon well, look for weeks now the Israeli GovernmentPrime Minister netanyahu, have said that the plans, the Military Plans have been operationally approved. They are more so waiting for the right time on the idfs front. But of course there has been at growing International Condemnation warnings that weve seen just last week, g7 leaders issued a joint statement condemning any plans to go into offer as a Ground Operation. Of course, there has been that concern expressed by the Biden Administration as well, and we heard last week from the us National Security adviser, jake sullivan, he convened a meeting with israeli officials and while the Biden Administration has said that it stands in support of israel attempting to target hamas militants in those southern cities, including rafat, cannot support any sort of operation that does not protect the lives of civilians. And of course, for weeks now, Biden Administration duration has been calling for credible plans to be provided for the safe evacuation of civilians. And of course, protection of civilians that said, we have heard from Prime Minister netanyahu has repeatedly asserted that the idf will act on its own accord that while they have listened to the concerns of the international allies, it is up to israel to make its own decisions regards to its plans for an operation. And of course listen, you has been clear he plans to keep pushing ahead until in his words, there is full victory in the eyes of the idf, meaning the total destruction of hamas. But of course, this is a huge point of concern. Were talking about more than 1 Million People still concentrated in the Southern Border City that offer, of course a key gateway still for aid to get in via the egyptian crossing. And what we are beginning to see now as well, there hasnt been an official evacuation of civilians. Many are taking it upon themselves to evacuate themselves. So they are fleeing rafah and moving into parts of central and northern gaza, or at least attempting to it. And were talking about areas that have been completely destroyed where their homes have been turned to rubble. There is no safe shelter. Areas where airstrikes are still ongoing in areas where many aid groups and including un agencies have said they are still struggling to get humanitarian aid in so this is a huge point of concern on multiple up front. And were hearing is repeated warnings for the idf not to Go Into Rafah on the ground. But again, important to remember that while we havent seen a fullscale Ground Operation just yet, we are seeing airstrikes already in an offer as we are in other parts of gaza as well. And we had this resignation as well, didnt we, from Israeli Military intelligence . Obviously its one accepted now that there was a military, an Intelligence Failure ahead of the october 7 attack question being, why did it take so long for someone to go and is this enough . Well, there has been growing criticism of Prime Minister netanyahu that is certainly where those antigovernment protests have been focused. And in fact, we heard from the idfs Intelligence Branch months ago admitting to those Intelligence Failures that admission came just a few weeks after october 7. We heard at the time also from the head of shin bet, also acknowledging Intelligence Failures at the time, said in a statement that despite a series of actions that are carried out by the idf and Intelligence Branches, they were not able to create sufficient warnings that would allow the attack by hamas to be thwarted. At the time. Now of course, were seeing the resignation of Major General aaron haliva, who is the head of the idfs Intelligence Branch, is someone who has been within this branch four over 30 years. So it is a significant resignation, but again, there are still the growing criticism of Prime Minister netanyahu, growing discontent with his government and the handling not only of the october 7 attack, but also of course, the handling of the operation to rescue hostages from within gaza thank you many ukrainians are Breathing A Sigh of relief after the us house approved a crucial aid package just ahead, how russia has reacting to tha t this special to our titanic premiere of how it really havent.

Supporters of the Lgbtq Plus Community are calling for more rights, marriage, equality, managing has been a controversial issue in japan, for this, the one g7 nation without Legal Protection the samesex couples after months of republican infighting, the House Of Representatives passed a crucial foreign aid package on saturday. The 95 billion package is now heading to the senate. Is expected to be approved. This week. The white house is applauding the bill with President Joe Biden saying hell sign it it includes 8 billion for taiwan and other partners in the region, 26 billion for israel and 61 billion for ukraine the ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy, urging the us to send weapons to the front lines as soon as possible. He says itll help ukrainians make gains on the battlefield, which has been dominated by russia. Now, for months soon as per pleitgen has more ukrainians are saying that after the House Of Representatives passed that ukraine aid package, that they now need to get their hands on those weapons. And also on ammunition as fast as possible. Of course they understand it still needs to go through the senate, still needs to be signed by the president but the ukrainians are saying the in drastic need of Artillery Ammunition, and especially also antiaircraft missiles as well. They say that right now is a very difficult situation in many areas of the front line. In fact, ukrainians acknowledging or they lost a key village in the east of the country, which is very important. To the defense on the eastern front. And in part, ive been in that area, they were saying that they are very much starved for Artillery Ammunition in those areas. And so therefore, the president of this caution Volodymyr Zelenskyy, he actually came out and he said that its absolutely key from when political decisions are made two things being delivered to the ukrainians that process speeds up as fast as possible. Now here in kyiv, i was able to speak to volodymyr klitschko, who is of course the former world boxing champion, the brother of the mayor of key of, and also someone who is still very much involved in the defense of this country. And he told me what he thinks why this aid package is so important to the ukrainians to the as Great Potential to change the frontline. So we can then ukraine defend us better. It sends also very important signal to putins russia that youre not going to win this war, this senseless war that has been started over twoandahalf years ago, almost 2. 5 years ago it sends a message of motivation for us, ukrainians that we are not alone. It did send also for republicans and democrats in the, in this critical moments to stand together and make this decision together. To protect democracy in this world. The russians, for their part, obviously not happy that this aid package was now approved by the House Of Representatives. In fact, the Foreign Ministry of russia accusing the United States of using ukrainians as what they call cannon fodder. The ukrainians obviously see all of that very differently. They say that for them, for their survival, it is absolutely key to get their hands on more american weapons and more american ammunition. Of course, one of the things that the president of this country Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said, in the past is that if this aid package hadnt gone through, there was a real chance that the ukrainians might lose the war against russia for glycan, cnn, key it join us now, class sebastian in terms of the impact this has on the ground, its going to be pretty transformational, isnt it . Well, i mean president zelenskyy saying, ill believe it when i see it. Basically, he says he wont make an assessment on whether ukraine can win until the aid actually starts arriving. But this, unless the saying that what this will do essentially it helps stabilize the frontline. Ukraine will be able to reconstitute its forces, build backup, continue those deep strikes possibly within russian territory and occupied regions which will help degrade russia a little bit more, but theyre not talking about ukraine going on the offensive this year, more about using this year to recover and Build Back Up from the profound impact of the delay. And its delivery of aid and then perhaps lawrence some kind of renewed counter events in 2025, president zelenskyy obviously mixing this fulsome praise for the us and gratitude with a clear call to even faster action here, take a listen this aid will strengthen ukraine and sand. When is the permanent upon powerful signal that it will not be the second afghanistan the United States will stay with ukraine, will protect the crayons and they will protect the ldl, protect democracy in the world so there is really significant that hes suddenly brought out afghanistan because obviously the us withdrawal from afghanistan along with all the criticism that came with that around the us Leadership Role in the world was just six months before the invasion of ukraine. And he was sending a message there. He said to the kremlin. But i think also to the us to get their attention and then whats really significant is that the russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman maria as a hair of a, also brought up afghanistan. Honore, in a press conference on sunday, but she said the opposite. She said that what she called the us Hybrid War Against russia, of course, the kremlin continually making the point they say that the us is using ukraine essentially as a proxy to fight russia. She says that will turn into the same and Humiliating Usps Go as it did in vietnam and afghanistan. So theres a lot of talk of how this proves on the ukrainian sayyed us is back in this Leadership Role. But of course, speed is of the essence on us. Sayyed, the pentagon has said that they can move if needed within days. Precedent has shown that they can do that, and we have senator mark warner, the head of Senate Intelligence committee saying on Cbs On Sunday that he hopes ukraine will get atacms. Those critical longrange missiles. He says, at the end of the week thank you. As part of a wideranging aid package for ukraine, israel, and taiwan, a bill that could ban tiktok is also heading to the senate for approval. This new bill gives tiktok nine months up from a previous six two separate from its current chinese parent company, bytedance, the social media app. Is seen as a National Security risk by many in congress. So if the Senate Approves the legislation and President Joe Biden signs it, tiktok could be forced to find a new owner or be banned entirely from the us. And as mark stuart joins us live from beijing, i mean, this is a real challenge, isnt it . For bytedance . Because its, basically being fasttracked and bytedance need to know if its what is going to do, if its faced with this serious decision about whether or not to sell it or have it close the fate is very much murky, max, as you have pointed out. In fact, i was talking to one expert one longtime observer of the chinese tech sphere, as he put it to me this is a moment of truth for beijing, we have reached out to Chinas Ministry of foreign affairs. We are still awaiting a response, but based off of our past reporting, i think it is more than fair to say beijing is not keen on this idea of selling off tiktok. In fact, it would not like the doesnt like the idea of american lawmakers telling them what to do. So its something that would certainly would be frowned upon. It was just a few weeks ago that i asked him Ministry Spokesperson about this possible move by the United States congress about this potential sale of tiktok and about some of the distrust that has been expressed by american lawmakers and by the American Public and the response was, this is an act of bullying by america and would backfire on the United States the opinion though of the Chinese Government is very important here. If we look at chinese companies, they are required by law to have what essentially amounts to be a panel, a committee of communist Party Members within their staff. Now they are there in an observing type of role, but its very likely that that kind of rubs off and impacts decisionmaking. So in reality, this is going to be a very long legal road if the United StatesCongress Moves forward as expected finally, max, i think some context here is also important. Here in china, where i live, if i want to go onto google, if i want to go into facebook instagram, x, or youtube all of those platforms are blocked by the Chinese Government. So this is a big contrast and its going to be a Big Philosophical Confrontation by the United States and by chinas moving forward, i wonder if they are also wab, bytedance. Therell be a huge backlash in america, particularly amongst younger people have tiktok is taken away and perhaps that might help resolve this well, the backlash is real from young people and from business owner. So that is why i think there will be a long legal road in the United States and see if some kind of agreement can be brief. Okay. Mark.
