Were watching wall street as markets rise and as President Joe Biden pressures, israel not to invade rafah, hes also preparing a weapons deal for israel following these major developing storage and many more coming in right here to Cnn News Central and we do start with some breaking news. The 2024 race for the white house is coming to a stage near you and near us very, very soon, President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump have both just accepted cnns and petition to debate next month on june 27th. Just today, the Biden Campaign challenge trump to two president ial debates hosted by News Organizations in june luna and then in september found trump lost two debates to me in 2020, it sends said he hadnt shown up for debate. Now hes acting like he wants to debate me again or make my day pal, ill even do a twice. First, pick the dates down. I hear youre free on wednesdays what . Scathing humor coming from the white house and President Biden today, we should say now, trump responded to bidens call out shortly after he said, quote, i am ready and willing to debate crooked joe at the two proposed times in june in september, just tell me when ill be there. Lets get ready to rumble. Lets get straight to cnns mj lee at the white house i mean, mj, it kinda sounds more like wwe than president ial politics. We know john cena will not be moderating. We know that much what else can you tell us about the cnn debate yeah, briana for two men who took agree on so little. Joe biden and donald trump, very quickly agreeing this morning to two president ial debates. The first one will be hosted by cnn on june 27th. The second one by abc can use on september 10. And i just want to do a recap quickly of how unusual all of these circumstances are for one both campaigns basically shunned the schedule that was set forth by the commission on president ial debates. They basically agreed that the idea that the first general Election Debate would be in september is just way too late. Both campaigns not saying that they want to be able to reach voters on lot earlier in the cycle, then september and also, in fact, we were told on this, but there were some informal and backchannels. A conversations that took place between in the two campaigns that largely had to do with their mutual disdain for the cpd when it comes to that cnn debate on june 27, there is going to be no Live Audience. That of course, is quite unusual. And what the Biden Campaign for its part had said was that they see that debates in recent years have as having become huge spectacles and that the audience had become a big distraction. You have to think about the possibility of protests in a Live Audience had to be a part of the thinking there. Now, the Biden Campaign clearly wanted to use the debate about the debates to try to go on the offensive. They want it to be first to offer these earlier debates for the Trump Campaign to basically accept and also, there have been these not so subtle references to who the fact that donald trump are so many weeks has been stuck in a courtroom. We saw President Biden saying earlier, i hear youre free on wednesdays now. Lastly, just on the question of whether anybody else might be joining the two men onstage for the cnn debate. Thats coming up in june. You have to qualify by appearing on a sufficient number of State Ballots and also secondly, you have to have at least 15 support in the polls for pulls that meet cnns standards for reporting that we did see robert f. Kennedy very quickly saying, but he sees this as a part of the effort to exclude it. Him from debating President Biden and former President Donald Trump all right, not a punchy joe biden there in that campaign videos, you needles the former president mj lee at the white house. Thanks very much for the trump perspective. Lets bring in cnns alayna treene. So alayna, we just read some of what the former president himself said about being ready to debate with the campaign they are, theyre very eager to debate and you could see that clearly and the reaction from them today. But luck, i mean, a lot of the things laid out in that biden proposal were exactly the same things that donald trump and his campaign, what they want these debates to be earlier, thats a key thing they have argued repeatedly. We saw this from Donald Trumps cocaine campaign managers, susie wiles and chris lacivita, they had written the commission on president ial debates weeks ago and repeatedly really asking for more debates and for them to be earlier and the whole thought about that is that if you get too close to the election, many people already cast their votes by then they had this big focus on early voting and they want to to have these debates before that begins. The other part of this is as andrew pointed out, there had been some back channeling between the Biden Campaign and the Trump Campaign about really trying to circumvent the cpd. They have a mutual disdain for the commission on president ial on president ial debates. And thats really what what led them to some of these informal discussions were told behind the scenes. Now, we did see joe biden have some choice words for donald trump. This morning and challenging him to these debates. We heard similar language from the former president. Take a listen to what he told hue. Hue at this morning oh, absolutely. Havent trying to get his issuing it. I wonder whether or not he shows up because, you he also challenged me to golf so im a very good golfer. He can hit a ball 50 yards. She said, ill give him three aside, but he knows hell never play. This is sort of like that. I think, but i hope not because i really think he has so debated mice will get it over with. Probably should do it early so that he can hes not going to get any better but june, september is graded down factor for him so a lot of taunting their from the former president luck. We also heard donald trump in his campaign a call for, for debates rather than just the two that the biden team had laid out. And this aligns up with what ive been told from Donald Trumps advisers, they want to have this have as many debates as possible. Well, im part of that reasoning and thinking is that they really believe that if they can get these two men on stage, that joe biden will seem like the weaker candidate that appear more feeble. And so theyre very eager to have this matchup between the two men well, the trash talk sure is something alayna treene. Thank you so much for that. Lets talk about this now with cnns Chris Wallace. He is, of course the host of whos talking to Chris Wallace on max and the Chris Wallace show, which is saturday mornings here on cnn. And you moderated two debates with donald trump won with hillary clinton, won with joe biden. And i just wonder though this sort of runup that youre seeing with all of this trash talk. What do you think this portends for what the debate will bring . Well i happen. As you say, moderated the 2020 debate and in which trump interrupted biden and me 145 times and 90 minutes. I hope we dont have a repeat of that. I find to me the big story here today obviously, is theyre debating but the fact that biden came out and how this is utterly extraordinary. Remember since 1960, there hasnt been a general election president ial debate before september. Now, its the sitting president talking about june my reaction is he knows that hes in trouble right now. You had the New York Times polls this week that showed him traveling, trailing and five of the six battleground states. I think he needs and feels he needs to change the ark of how this campaign is going right now, oftentimes, elections arent decided in post labor de, theyre often decided and the late spring or early summer, i think biden things. I gotta have this debate now, ive got to ease peoples concerns about my competence. Tried to really make the case against trump and change the whole dynamic of how this campaign has gone lets play a clip from that 2020 debate that you moderated between these two men, which will of course be a matchup next month he do with the roseanne hundred and 80,000 to mansour if not, none of that is true. Really after president is totally incident, please. Told credited totally discredited. And by the way well, i have Million Dollars you mr. Vice president , dollars. That is not true here. Mr. President , mr. You, its an its an open discussion, please well theres, raised an issue let lets. Print titles rather than an answer. Chris, that was a very, very tough job that you handled very well to your point there about interruptions. So in this rematch, what do you think would be the best approach for whoever ends up moderating this debate . Well one, of the things that biden has said, i dont know whether cnn has agreed to it or not. Is that when its not your time when youre not talking their germ, mike will be cut off. The problem is that when you have as you saw in that debate, a freeflow conversation, it isnt like im getting two minutes to talk and then you get two minutes. Its pretty hard to turn the mic on and off because youre hoping to engage them. Up to me. One of the other really interesting things we havent talked about enough is are the other networks going to carry the debate . Yes, cnn will. Obviously conducted, im sure well make it available to everybody else, but you know, are our competitors on cable are the broadcast networks. The reason that they get such huge numbers, i think both of my debate has got over 80 million was because of the fact, you couldnt miss it. It was on every channel. Will it be on every channel . Will abc, nbc, fox msnbc, take the cnn debate that makes it a very different experience if its just wall to wall coverage on every broadcast outlet. What about the fact that there will be no inperson audience and you can really speak to this having been in that room what that may change about the dynamic for the candidates. And also four what people are seeing on teepee. I actually think thats overstated. I mean, having done two debates, that world, that stage with the two candidates about ten feet apart at the podiums. And then the moderator about ten or 12 feet away from both of them in the middle its very much contained. Nobody is paying attention are playing to the crowd now . Yes. Sometimes the crowd intervened and youd have to as the moderator, try to get them to be quiet. I think its better without the crowd. I felt that for some period of time, go back to the Kennedy Nixon debates in 1964 of them no crowd, just in a television vision studio. I think itll make it a cleaner pure experience. But in terms of the candidates, i dont think it makes much difference because you are so focused on what yours is and what the other guys about to say and what the moderator is going to ask that youre not sitting there playing to the crowd like its a rally. Yeah. Thats so interesting. Well, this may be a little bit of a throwback to the Nixon Kennedy debates, but there will be some startling differences as well. Chris, its so great to get your thoughts on this. Thank you so much. Chris wallace.

Thats 3605 by Whole Foods Market this before in the stanley cup flowers, Fairclough Wipers on the line right now to now, the distractions goodness still feel white guy and i Inflation Report is out and theres good news and bad news prices are still rising. But at a slower pace, and Grocery Store prices are falling. Yeah, thats some good news. Consumer prices rose 3. 4 over the past 12 months ending in april. That is down a bit from 3. 5 in march cnn reporter matt egan has been digging into the numbers. All right, map first talked to us about how the markets are reacting to this well, briana, alex, investors are loving it because this does keep alive hopes for Interest Rate cuts later this year. The s p 500 and nasdaq are on track to close at record highs and look at that. The dow is just 150 points away from crossing the 40,000 level for the first time ever. Now, i do think that the latest Inflation Report, its not just good news for wall streets also good news for main street. We learned that consumer prices, as you mentioned, up by 3. 4 year over year in april. Now, thats not great. Its still above the precovid trend, but this is an improvement from the month before. And of course, it is miles away from that spike. On the middle of your screen there back two years ago when we had 9 inflation, when you dig into the numbers, there are some other positives here as well. We saw that Grocery Prices fell month over month. Price has also dropped for new cars, used cars, and airfare. Also, Core Inflation, which excludes food and energy. This was the slowest annual rate for Core Inflation in exactly three years. So i think if you put all of this together, it shows that inflation has not been solved. This problem has not been fixed but we are seeing some signs of improvement and that does raise the possibility that the fed can start to give borrowers a break on very high Interest Rates, probably not at the next meeting in june, maybe not in july, but maybe this is something that could happen in september or later this year. And of course that would be good news for me. Everyone whos dealing with very high rates right now for mortgages car loans, and credit cards, we want it now though its house buying season, again, didnt you know, dont they know . All right. Matt, thank you so much for taking us through that. We appreciate it. Thank you. Now, donald trump has been hammering President Joe Biden over inflation, but at the moment, of course, he has his own legal problems to worry about today. Wednesday is the regular day off from his criminal hush money trial, and trump is set to attend to fundraisers. And while hes back on the campaign trail, his Defense Attorneys have the de to scour Court Transcripts going through the eight hours that principal witness, Michael Cohen was on the stand, asked answering prosecutors questions in which he directly connected trump to the hush money. Now, trumps attorneys who will be resuming their crossexaminatio n of cohen when hes back in Court Tomorrow joining me now is criminal defense attorney david oscar marcus. David, thanks so much for being with us. So if you are trumps lead attorney todd blanche, what are you doing today to prepare for tomorrow well, theyre going to spend the day really digging in about how they want to start tomorrow and tomorrow. They want to start really strong and n strong. And if i was todd blanche, i would start with the question to Michael Cohen. Are you and honest person . And then i lead him through all of the lies that hes told him. And i think i might end with Something Like if you were on the jury, mr. Cohen, would you believe someone who had lied . As much as you did . And i would try to draw out all those lies for the jury so todd blanche, he asked questions of cohen for about twoandahalf hours so far, but he has yet to ask cohen about the actual Business Documents that were allegedly false sulfide to cover up this hush money. So when do you expect that to happen . And what issues do you think the defense has to highlight to the jurors . No its a really great point. I think the defense needs to drill down tomorrow on exactly that because they cant make the case about Stormy Daniels the cases and about whether President Trump had sex with Stormy Daniels. Its not about whether they paid Stormy Daniels. Its about whether these Business Records were falsified, so they have to the defense has to tie into that theme and show that these lies are related to the false entries. Otherwise the defense is going to fall flat. They have to tie it into the false entries and thats what youre going to see. I think most of the day tomorrow there was so much anticipation for Michael Cohen being on the stand. Of course, hes back on it tomorrow but if he were your client, how do you think hes been doing under crossexamination so far well, Michael Cohen, despite the tons of baggage, has remained pretty calm now, blanche did score some points, but the defense is going to want to get under his skin. Theyre going to want to get him angry and talking and off of those rehearsal clients, i might ask him, why did you write the book . Why did you title the book revenge and maybe it should have been titled to rehearse that, i would try to stick him with some singers because i think you could get him animated and you want him talking, you want him animated. Thats where youre going to get the jury. I think dislike him and he is the prosecutions final witness. So do you think that by that point by the time that theyre done with him, theyll have proven their case well, they still this is the big point right . They have to prove that trump knew about these false entries that he was involved with these false entries. They only have Michael Cohen, so its all going to come down to here. Him if i was the defense, ive tried to narrow the issues, not make it about the other witnesses, make it about Michael Cohen. And in summation, spend most of my time saying why he cant believe this guy and to that point, is there a chance that durers do find that theres evidence that trump falsified documents to hide information from voters and still determine that the offenses do not rise to a felony offense. In new york that the alleged crime should have been prosecuted at the federal level. And years ago sure. Jurors are are told that theyll never be questioned about their verdict, that they can reach a verdict based on anything they want to lawyers are not permitted to argue things not an evidence or nullification. Those types of things. But this is is an odd one because theres going to be that undercurrent of the political prosecution and those types of things. So, you know, the jurors are going to be free to find however they want, and nobody can ever secondguess them on that all right, another big day back in court in manhattan tomorrow. David oscar marcus. Thanks very much for your time and your thoughts today thank you for having me.

Com today rigging news now some newly declassified intelligence shared with cnn says that russia is ratcheting up its efforts to discredit ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy and raise questions about his legitimacy for the past several months, russia has been stepping up its Disinformation Efforts about zelenskyy seizing on various recent events fuel criticism about his abilities and his place as ukraines leader in an interview, a Senior Biden Official told me that the russian efforts are definitely increasing and our a reflection of zelenskys resilience and his format ability as a leader during this war over the past two years, there have been two main areas. Im told that russia is pushing this disinformation on the senior official said ukraines recent painful withdrawal from the eastern city of deif go, which was a significant setback for ukraine. And the fact that ukraine has postponed its president ial election that was scheduled for this year, for this spring because of russias war in ukraine. Now according to us officials, the Russian Intelligence Services are helping disseminate this information but its also coming from official channels like Putin Spokesman and being pushed by nonofficial prorussia groups on social media a major concern im told is that people in other countries outside of ukraine may not understand that ukraine has been under martial law since russia invaded in 2022. And the war is preventing ukraine from holding a president ial election. But russia is pushing an area of that questions. Zelenskyy legitimacy as a result one expert i spoke with questioned how effective the disinformation can be, because at this point in the war, more than two years after it started, most peoples views are pretty entrenched. But the us has briefed allies and partners about russias growing efforts and do expect them to continue to try to weaken ukraine as russia also faces difficulties on the ukrainian battlefield, briana.

It would need congressional approval, but this arms deal could include Tank Ammunition and order rounds, among other weapons. Last week, the biden in administration confirmed a pause for a shipment of large bombs to israel, 502,000 pound bombs because of concerns the idf might use them in the densely populated city you have rafah as they have another parts of gaza too devastating effect on civilians currently, the Israeli Military says it has intensified its operations in Northern Gaza and parts profit in the south. The un, for Palestinian Refugees now estimates that 600,000 people have fled the Southern City here in just the past week were joined we now by democratic congressman Jamaal Bowman of new york, who is vice chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus. Sir. Thank you so much for taking the time to be with us. And if i can just get your reaction to this arms deal and if you see it to be in conflict with this suspension of delivering 502,000 pound bombs to israel yeah very disappointed in this news, you know, we fully supported the president s decision about a week ago, not to send additional weapons prince israel voted against that measure here in the house we have over 1 Million People in Gaza Starving to death. We have at least 34,000 killed, mostly women men, and children. Now weve called from very early on for peace and a permanent ceasefire in gaza. But let me say this, this issue was also hitting here at home, particularly in my district. A republican super pac udp is set to spread 1. 9 million against me this week and my race, a packed as back by burning marcus antiabortion, Bernie Marcus and others simply because we called for a permanent cyst, permanent ceasefire, and its simply because were calling for peace in gaza the majority of this arms deal would be mortars, Tank Ammunition. Can you explain to us where the line is . For you . You have voted to support iron dome, for instance, in the past and in 2021 gregory meeks, who is the Ranking Member on how lets Foreign Affairs does not see this arms deal in conflict with the suspension of those bigger weapons. Making the point that bidens point there was there for more precise ways to take on hamas. Can you explain where the line is for you well, we are way past a lie. I mean, we need a permanent ceasefire right now and we need to get as much food into gaza as quickly as possible. We need to release of the hostages and we need a pathway to a free palestine were not have the conversations that will lead to peace and sustainability selfdetermination. In that region. And im still concerned about a potential regional conflict. And so, you know, i have dealt with war, particularly war in the middle east, my entire life. So well has many of the college kids who are on our campuses protesting right now. We finally, One Living In America that is leaving with diplomacy and peace now shared humanity unfortunately, that is not happening right now you just had a debate. A couple nights ago, monday night in what is very tough emory race, perhaps one of the toughest primary races that were monitoring hear you and your opponent, george latimer, were asked whether you consider the chant from the river to the sea to be hate speech. And are advocating for the eradication of the state of israel. Youd said you do not believe its hate speech. I just want to be clear. Do you believe that it is Advocate Catering for the eradication of the state of israel no, it is it is advocating for a free palestine and an end to the so lets occupation that has been going on for 75 years. You know, when i visited israel and i visited the west bank and i got to speak with is rarely and palestinian scholars and visited yad vashem. I learned so much about whats happening there now, what has been happening historically, weve been talking about twostate solution for so long, but we have some 100,000 settlers in the west bank right now, which pretty much stops a twostate solution. Happening. And so, you dont, instead of focusing on chance that mean Different Things to different people, lets focus on real policy solutions that lead to his and selfdetermination and safety for israelis and palestinians i do want to ask you on your criticism of israel, you have said that being in critical of an ally makes our allies strong and safer in the long term. As i mentioned, you did vote in 2021 for iron dome . Some funding can you explain that how you see israel as an ally and what you meant by that well, they there are our ally and we dont want anyone to be bombed in killed, whether they are in israel, gaza, or the west bank. And compare by statements to whats happening, right now, right now, we have liters in israel saying things like there are no innocent civilians remember what ama luck has done to you. Cutting off food and water and using a Wife Phosphorus and attacking mostly civilians in gaza. Does it lead to peace for anyone that doesnt lead to safety for anyone. And so a Pathway Forward has to be a new vision as something much different than what weve done in the pass, that goddess into this position in the first place as i mentioned, you are in this tough primary and this us support for the israelhamas war has become a defining issue in your race.

These are live pictures from galveston, texas where a barge has collided with a bridge and it does appear that at least some of the bridge has fallen into the water. We are told that the coast guard has responded to this incident so far, there are no injuries that have been reported. But as you can see there on the lower part of the screen there is actually oil yeah, that is leaking from this barge. It is spilling into the bay, which is obviously a sensitive ecosystem. And also this bridge is the only way to to access pelican island, which is home to texas a m university at galveston. This right now, close to all traffic is you can see no ones getting in, no ones getting out so were going to continuing monitor that. It looks pretty bad. Their university temporarily lost power. Yeah. You can see theres some power leinz, it seemed to stretch their across the water that may have had something to do with it the new report from the National Transportation safety board finding that huge cargo ship the dali, that struck the baltimore key bridge back in march, causing its collapse in killing in six people had lost power, four times before the crash. Two of those blackouts occur just ten hours before the incident despite that, the dalis captain reported to the pilot who came on board in maryland there to steer the ship out of the harbor reported to that pilot that the ship was in good working order. And now the head of the ntsb has laid out those findings at a capitol hill hearing earlier today seems piedmont ten is here with more details. So these investigators have obviously been hard at work for almost two months now, what are they learning . 50 days since this crash and some big new revelations here. And it all focuses on im really two things that one, the dali had a blackout on board before the ship left the Port Of Baltimore and two, that the crew tried to circumvent electrical issues onboard by using Circuit Breakers that had not been used for months. Ntsb chair Jennifer Homendy says the focus of her investigation is now on the Electrical System at 1 25 in the morning. That is one the first blackout occurred after the ship was underway. And what this report describes is about four minutes of terror on the ships bridge where it was being controlled by a port pilot. And that Port Pilots Apprentice that they called for Tugboats To Cobb come back that they called for help from the bridge itself to clear the bridge. The cruise that were on the bridge and also that they tried to drop an anchor to make it so that the ship would stop relatively abruptly all of those efforts were for nat, it was too late. The collision occurred at 1 29 in the morning on march 26, the ship also sailed through through those protective dolphins, that big Concrete Barriers Out There and the potassium Sco River And Ntsb Chair Jennifer Homendy says, this bridge was inadequately protected and that is a wakeup call to any of the lawmakers who who are listening during this hearing ten say that bridges like the key bridge in baltimore, need to be better bolstered. Listen i would say where you have navigable waterways, eu whoevers owning, i keep reiterating this. If you own a bridge if a state owns a bridge or other entity owns a bridge, look at the current structure. Do a risk assessment. You can do that now. You dont have to wait until we issue an urgent recommendation or come to the conclusion of our investigation the ntsb says that estimation typically takes 12 to 24 months to reach a final report. Im probable cause. This just the preliminary report right now. And the ntsb says its also working through mountains of data, also with hyundai hey, who made the Electrical System on board the ship are also hearing for the first time that there could be a contract awarded to rebuild the key bridge sometime later this year. The goal is to build a new bridge and open it by sometime in 2028. Yeah, clearly lots more to figure out. And of course, of this investigation, pete, my team, thanks for breaking that all downforce.
