Hello, again, thank you very much for joining me. Im fredricka whitfield. The we start with Breaking News. The White House says President Biden spoke with israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the phone. Its unclear if their call happened before or after an israeli Air Strike destroyed an Office Building Housing two prominent media outlets. Both Al Jazeera and the Associated Press say their staff were warned to evacuate before a missile struck the building. [ bombing ] just a few moments before that, a building collapses to rubble. An anchor for Al Jazeera english gave this emotional response on the air. This channel will not be silenced. Al jazeera will not be silenced. We can guarantee you that right now. The ap also putting out a statement in written form. We are shocked and horrified the israeli military would target and destroy the Building Housing Aps Bureau and other News Organizations in gaza. They have long known the location of our bureau and new journalists were there. The statement continues, this was an incredibly disturbing development. We narrowly avoided a terrible loss of life. The world will know less of whats happening in gaza because of what happened today. This is the latest escalation in the week of extraordinary violence. Palestinian officials say 139 people have been killed in gaza. Another 1,000plus wounded. Meanwhile, Rocket Fire from hamas continues targeting israeli cities, killing at least eight civilians. Israels Defense Minister saying a short time ago they are not seeking escalation, but they are ready for any scenario. Cnn is covering every angle of this story. Nic robertson is in ashkelo, israel. And Arlette Saenz is in washington, d. C. What are you hearing from the White House . President biden said he spoke with Benjamin Netanyahu today. We are still waiting to hear exactly what was discussed in that call and when that call took place. The israeli said released a very short readout of this conversation and it says that the prime minister informed President Biden of the actions that israel had taken and planned that they are planning to carry out in the future. He also said that the prime minister thanked the president for unwavering support from the United States and their right to defend themselves and also stress that theyre trying to avoid any innocent parties being involved in these situations. Now this all comes as there are rising concerns about civilian casualties in gaza. We have not heard specifically yet from the White House about what they would describe as transpiring in this Phone Call, but earlier today there was a tweet from white House Press Secretary jen psaki. She said, we have communicated directly to the israelis that ensuring the Safety And Security of journalists in independent media is a paramount responsibility. That statement does not exactly directly address the israeli Air Strike, which flattens that building in gaza that houses some media outlets. We will see if the White House offers any further comment on that, if the president specifically raised that in his Phone Call with netanyahu. This is the second call the president had with netanyahu just this week. Earlier in the week, the president has said israel has a right to defend itself. But we will see if the growing casualties and simmering tension might provoke the White House to offer any further type of Comment Or Change in tone in their approach. Arlette saenz at the White House. Thank you very much. Nic robertson back with us now. You have been watching this in realtime. Youre now in ashdod. What have you been seeing . And why did you move . Nightfall along the border, the intensity of strikes the previous nights along those sorts of positions increased. This location were at here, s sirens went off last night and rounds defended mostly successfully by Iron Dome Defense systems. Was hit here in ashdod last night. Hamas said their response to the targeting of the Media Building would be to target Tel Aviv again. They targeted Tel Aviv earlier today. The sirens were going off there. They targeted not only Tel Aviv but the areas around it. And one man, a 50yearold man, was caught in the street when one of the Hamas Rockets managed to get through the Iron Dome defensive system. He was killed in the street there. So right now here it feels relatively quiet, but it did the previous night. I think the bigger picture here at the moment is this, that is the Scale And Number of rockets that have been fired from gaza has been decreasing over the past few days. The question i think on a lot of peoples minds is, what is hamas threat . Are they going to carry through on it to have a big retaliation of striking areas around Tel Aviv, or are we now seeing a slow ramping down of these rockets coming and strikes on gaza. Its not clear quite yet. This night should be a good indication of how its going to play. All right, Nic Robertson near the israeligaza border. Thank you very much. Be safe. Lets bring in now cnn global Affairs Analyst aaron david miller. So good to see you. This is the second Phone Call involving biden and netanyahu. In your view, what might this latest call involve . Will the u. S. Have an ultimatum for israel with these strikes . I doubt that, but i think by next week if were still see Egg T seeing the israeli Air Strikes and surge of Hamas Rockets, the White House is going to have to figure out a way to make it unmistakably clear it has to somehow tamp down. It is not going to play the Driving Force in concluding a ceasefire because we dont have particularly good relations with hamas. The egyptians are playing a role. But as we saw today with the strike on the apartment building, its never a good idea to go to war with the press. Whatever the israelis were intending, it just as an example, seems to me, the possibility of an even greater horror the longer this goes on. As the Ap Statement underscored that israel knew about the bureau for Al Jazeera and Associated Press being housed in that building, so its not just striking any kind of militant office, activity or intelligence, which is what the israeli defense had said, but it also is an apartment building, Residence And Place of work for these journalists. That it would strike that building knowing all of that, what does that tell you about where this escalation of violence is . And why the israelis in light of everything you just said, why the israelis would gratuitously and willfully strike a building they knew housed press . The statement the spokesman put out talked about military assets, i think Military Intelligence assets, colocated, maybe in a bunker . I dont know. But the point is the longer this goes on, the greater the danger of a mass casualty event, either as a consequence of an errant Hamas Rocket that slams into a residential setting or or an israeli artillery show. And thats going if that happens, its going to twist and turn this conflict in a completely different direction. Thats the real danger here. I suspect 2014, the war went on for 50 days. I doubt if its going to go on for that much longer. Again, the americans are going to have to make a decision on how much pressure to ramp up on both, if in fact we are where we are today next week. You heard of Nic Robertsons reporting there that hamas is at a point of determining what it can do next and that there might be some threat to target strikes near Tel Aviv. What are its options in terms of what its capability is . And it would actually act on. Anywhere from 8,000 to 10,000 rockets, some of which greater percent which are long range, are still held in reserve. I would think that hamas wants the final act of this particular phase of the confrontation to be some sort of spectacular attack. And that might be a calculation, or alternatively, both parties may have been reaching the point that the games they have achieved are cant be supplements and theres a risk and this may well be true in the case of hamas. Ham ourk hamas, theres a risk of losing what they have achieved. I suspect and hope that by early this week, this will begin to tamp down. You think so . Thats being optimistic. And the less optimistic, aaron david miller, whats your concern that this is a precipice of a larger, fullscale, perhaps regional war . I dont see that happening, fred. The real problem i think is this, the real tragedy, poignancy, death and destruction, and asymmetry of the casualties, large number of civilians, i dont want to detract for a minute from those israelis who died, is this the odds of this round, like any of the previous rounds, will lead to 134 sort of pathway that will put israelis and palestinians, even israel and hamas On The Road to some sort of longterm ceasefire, the odds of that happening are slim to none. You need leaders who are masters of their political houses, not prisoners of their ideologies or constituencies. You do not have that. At some point you will need an american or external mediator if, in fact, the israelis and palestinians want to move forward. But the Waste And Pointlessness of this is the fact that violence sometimes does produce agreements, but you need strong leaders who are willful and skillful and sadly, i would argue correctly, we do not have those on either side of the line. Aaron david miller, always good to see you. Thank you so much for your time and expertise. Appreciate it. Thank you, fred. Coming up the cdc says fully vaccinated americans no longer need to wear masks, but theres a lot of confusion and hesitation. So dr. Esther chu offers her Expert Advice straight ahead.

The cdc stunned many this week, announcing that fully vaccinated americans can Ditch Face coverings in most situations, but the decision is raising a series of questions as more states and companies drop Mask Mandates. The White House says the decision was made purely based on science. The cdc is always going to be criticized as being either too fast or too slow but their Job Isnt to be popular. They try to follow the science. Our job at the White House is to let them follow the science and take what comes and try to explain it as best we can to the american public. Joining me now to discuss is dr. Esther choo, professor of Emergency Medicine at Oregon Health and science university. Shes also an advocate for Improving Equity in health care. Dr. Choo, so good to see you. Good to see you, fred. How do you, you know, explain the decision to drop these Mask Mandates . Do you see this as progress or is this an opening for a potential problem . Well, like many things in the pandemic, its a little bit of both. The question all along with Mask Mandates has been why cant we drop the mask once were vaccinated . The answer has been, although its highly effective for preventing disease and severe disease, we dont know what it does to Disease Transmission. So the cdc upon getting more scientific information about the low rates of Disease Transmission among people fully vaccinated made this change but its guidance. Its actually not a mandate to drop all Mask Mandates. Disease Transmission And Vaccine uptake is a local phenomenon, not a national phenomenon. So it will make a lot of sense for communities, for individuals businesses to make decisions that make sense for people who are there. So i think the biggest thing, biggest ask is not for everyone to just drop masks all of a sudden because they got their vaccine but really to be respectful and not be jerks when you walk into a business that made a decision to uphold mask wearing because thats what makes people feel the safest in their setting in the context of whats happening with Covid19 Transmission in that community. Of course, most folks, including experts, were hoping this day was one day coming. I guess the questions are, did they expect it to happen this soon . Already about 120 Million americans, are you comfortable with this decision with this decision before the u. S. Reached this higher level of immunity . The Goal Universe Valley was what, 70 of americans being vaccinated . Long way to go between 36 and 70 . Yeah, i think the idea is not that theres a single threshold and all things fall awa. I think what the administration has promised us is as we get more vaccinated, we will slowly in stages return to normal. And i think thats whats happening. The guidance around masks is as interesting in what it doesnt say as what it does say. There are many, many settings in which people still wear masks. Health care settings, congregate living facilities, public transportation. We still have to recognize our children under you know, under 16 are largely still not vaccinated. We for a while will not have any vaccination for children under 12. Were going to need lots of specific guidance about what we do in camps and businesses and businesses of different kinds. We also recognize theres no way for us to tell whos vaccinated or not. What is a Business Owner to do . The cdc does promise additional guidance. So, again, masks are not going anywhere any time soon. We have a long road in this pandemic, and we need to be really responsive to local recommendations and to additional recommendations from the cdc. So i dont think this is were dancing in The End zone. There are in some settings for some people, there are times we can go inside and feel comfortable moving masks. Its an early step. Its not meant to be a sweeping recommendation and we hope people dont see it like that. What do you think of employers out there listening to the Cdc Guidance and trying to figure out what do we about so many of our employees working from home . If they are indeed vaccinated, do we encourage them to come back into the office . What do you recommend to them . Yes, i think thats an area in some circumstances they can look at local guidance from their Public Health departments. If the local guidance is, look, in our community we have very high Vaccine Uptick rates. You can look in your specific organization, if there are very high vaccination rates, Disease Rates are low, you have low numbers of vulnerable people, that can be a decision that an individual employer can make about bringing people back into the office. And you can also have nuanced recommendations. If youre going to be meeting with people in close settings, that may be a situation where masks need to go back on. But in individual offices, they may need to take masks off if there are small number of people in the office who are fully vaccinated, there are no Risk Factors there. They may be able to make that decision to remove masks. Theyre getting freedoms back. It sound like it will take serious getting used to, like it took a transition getting used to and changing our behave to wear a mask and be safe. Exactly. Another journey on this seemingly endless journey. It really is. Its coming. I see the finish line. I really do. Dr. Esther choo, thank you for guiding us along the way. I appreciate it. Thank you, fred. Still ahead a massive Fuel Pipeline is back up and running. But at what price . Cnn has learned the company paid ransom to hackers, and that is setting off a new round of concern.

Nearly a week after a crippling cyberattack that shuttered Gas Distribution to much of the East Coast, we have learned Colonial Pipeline paid a ransom to the hackers behind the attack. The company said today it has since returned to normal operations. Though shortages continue in so many states, at least for now. Lets discuss this with our Cnn Law Enforcement analyst and former Secret Service agent. So good to see you. Colonial pipeline paid the ransom, it says, but now what . Are you concerned about what it may potential now be a pattern of, sabotage and you pay them . Yes, good afternoon, fred. Listen, from a Law Enforcement perspective, Law Enforcement is always going to add vvise not t pay a ransom. The reason being, one, you dont know if theres going to be success in actually gaining Encryption Keys that are going to give you your network back. You dont know whether or not there are going to be future attacks, some sort of additional malware that has been placed on the system that that attacker can come back to. And third, most importantly, youre actually fueling the criminal activity. Youre giving them money to then go out and develop and purchase new cyber weapons so then use against you or other industries. So from a Law Enforcement perspective, its not advised. But lets actually be pragmatic about whats going on here. This Ransom Attack has crippled Fuel Deliveries across the East Coast, and it was literally one of the worst cyberattacks on our critical infrastructure to date. 45 of all fuel on the East Coast had been crippled. From a business operation standpoint, hackers had this pipeline choked off. They had to pay that ransom, at least to attempt to get the fuel flowing again. You Cant Help but Worry And Wonder whether there was kind of a prelude to more potentially, especially with the outcome they got paid. So this criminal group behind the attack, previously identified as dark side, demanded nearly 5 Million. But sources did not tell cnn exactly how much colonial eventually did pay. Either way, do you see that thats a cost that will trickle down to customers . Well, listen, i think when youre talking about oil and gas, a 5 Million expenditure, is literally a drop in the bucket. But theres a Ripple Effect here and we are seeing that Ripple Effect as the pipeline has been restored, were going to see the supplyanddemand issues play out over the next week, as earlier reported, gas only travels approximately 5 miles an hour through the pipeline. Thinking how does that reach New Jersey and northern states from the south . You have a distribute issue right now. And i think its important to note this attack is really interesting. Darkside is a relatively new criminal enterprise. What theyve done is actually they adopted very sophisticated tactics to launch these very calculated attacks. And whats going to happen is, this is going to persist. This isnt a moment in time. Weve been talking about Ransom Attacks for a long time on the corporate side of things, you know, attacking network services in different organizations. This is the first time we are seeing it in terms of critical infrastructure. This was a real Seminole Moment on how the pipeline in conjunction with Law Enforcement responded to this attack, and moving forward its going to set an example of how are we going to respond to future incidents of ransomware against critical infrastructure . Now with a name and notoriety, what are your concerns about the potential whats next . This group, right, has just been emboldened. Absolutely. The success of this group over the last year, they were only formulated less than a year ago. What theyve done is theyve actually professionalized the criminal industry that surrounding ransomware that has literally costs tens of billions of dollars in losses for organizations. What they do is operate as a service. They provide other hackers with the tools to go out and launch these attacks. So theyre not necessarily doing it themselves all of the time. Theyre giving other hostile actors all of the resources to do so. Again, this isnt the last time and it really, you know, presents a Mounting Challenge for organizations. Let me ask you about something else now, these mysterious attacks on americans and whats been dubbed havana syndrome. The Washington Post Editorial board saying this week the mystery attacks on americans must be solved, and that all of these Add Up to assault on americans abroad and now on u. S. Soil. And that has which has alluded detection and is running unabated. Experts have said the cause of these attacks may be some kind of Pulse Radio Frequency causing symptoms from hearing loss, dizziness and headaches to brain injury. Were talking about what many american diplomats experienced in cuba. And then now most recently being reported to have taken place not far from the White House. So how concerning is this . Listen, these directed Pulse Energy attacks, or variations of them, are invisible threats. They have been longknown hazards facing our foreign service diplomats, as you just said. But right now what is a concern to me is how brazen this attack was. It occurred right on the ellipse in washington, d. C. , essentially the backyard to the White House. Let me give you some atmospherics about the location. This is one of the most highly surveilled areas in washington, d. C. , with a constant presence of both overt and covert federal and local Law Enforcement entities to include the Secret Service, u. S. Park police and metropolitan d. C. Police. So theres a large Law Enforcement contingency here at all times. So for someone to launch this attack, theyre sending a message. Its very easy to launch these attacks overseas. Youre doing it right at the White Houses backward. To me this location was specifically chosen to send a message. Right. Its a frightening detection but at the same time its like thank goodness it was detected, right . Absolutely. Again, how are we going to deal with this . How are we going to investigate it . There are a lot more questions than answers right now but weve got to get to the bottom of this because its happening on u. S. Soil now. Jonathan, thank you very much. Always good to see you. Thanks, fred. Have a great day. Still ahead a new chapter in the Matt Gaetz scandal. A former associate of the congressman pleading guilty to Sex Trafficking charges. Well have the details next.

Joel greenberg plans to plead guilty to six federal charges, including a count of Sex Trafficking of a child, according to a new court filing. As part of his deal, greenberg will cooperate with ongoing investigations. Gaetz has not been charged in the investigation and denies any wrongdoing. For more now on this, lets bring in katelyn poleance. Katelyn, what more do we know about this guilty plea, this deal . This isnt just a guilty plea, it is a deal that is essentially a Building Block where prosecutors are making Joel Greenberg, this friend of Matt Gaetz, into a cooperator into a larger investigation. What that means is they were throwing the book at Joel Greenberg. He was facing dozens of charges. He was sitting in jail, and now hes getting significant leniency. You only get that in an investigation like this if you provide substantial assistance to an investigation and potentially future cases. So he would have to testify. He would have to turn over anything he knows how has in documents, if Thats Something prosecutors need for a bigger investigation. And Joel Greenberg is also admitting to a significant amount of things, including Sex Trafficking a minor. Now, there is a girl who is who was a minor at the time that he had met on a sugar daddy website, has been paying her hundreds of dollars over Venmo And Meeting at hotels and theres a Key Line in the allegations hes admitting to that says he introduced this child to other Adult Men who engaged in commercial sex acts with her. We dont know who those people are, but we do know that Congressman Gaetz is under investigation for something that sounds quite similar to this, thats based on our previous reporting. Now after this Plea Deal was released yesterday, the congressman released a statement that said he doesnt seem to be named a reference in this document in the court, and that he had never paid for sex with a minor and had never had sex with a minor. So this is just another piece. Theres more to come and this is an ongoing investigation. Greenberg will show up in court tomorrow, where he will present his plea documentation, along with a justice department agreement, to a federal judge. Katelyn, thank you very much for that. Appreciate it. The hunt is still on for india, as in the bengaled tiger cub. Coming up, why police in houston believe its evaded them for a week now. This is our block. Our place. Our people.

Take classes any time of the day or night, at university of phoenix. Right now a frantic search is under way for a tiger in texas. India is a 9monthold tiger that was first spotted nearly a week ago in a houston neighborhood. Police have been trying to track down the Big Cat with no luck, and now new video just released a short time ago showing a man playing with the tiger inside a home prior to this cat hunt. Victor cuevas is currently behind bars on an unrelated charge and is not cooperating, apparently, in the search for this tiger. Cnns Rosa Flores is on the hunt, on the prowl shall we say in houston. This case is getting a whole lot of attention. Are residents there scared at all . You know, for the most part, no, because police do not give us any indication that this animal is roaming the streets of houston. What this investigation looks like, fred, is more police doing police work, investigators following leads, following tips. According to the Houston Police department, they have received hundreds of Phone Calls, some of them tips, some of them alleged sightings of this animal. But police are following every lead to try to find this dangerous animal. Now, lets go back to this video that was just released yesterday by Victor Cuevas attorney. It shows him playing with this tiger. According to his attorney, he says this animal is potty trained, that he responds to commands like Sit Down and lay down, and when cuevas speaks to him in spanish and says kisses, this animal jumps on his shoulders and gives him a kiss. This is not meant to be cute. This is a dangerous animal. And thats why the Houston Police department is the investigating agency. Take a listen. Tiger is a tiger, and i imagine its going through a lot of stress this week too with all of the moving that im assuming its going through, which isnt good. Investigators believe that this animal has probably moved six, seven, eight times within the city of houston, but they do believe that the tiger is still in houston. Now Tiger King Star Carole Baskin Offering A 5,000 reward, fred, to try to find this tiger. This reward would go to any individual who turns this tiger over to a sanctuary and then works with police to prosecute the owner and the seller of the tiger. Fred . Okay, were going to see if thats incentive, because this is quite the mystery. And im sure police want to know who will be willing to cooperate with that kind of deal. Rosa flores, thank you so much in houston. Lets talk more about this. Joining me now is howard quigley, the Conservationist Science Executive director for a global Wild Cat conservation organization. So good to see you. Hi, fredericka. Happy to be on. I wonder what your greatest concerns are, because when you look at this new video of this tiger, india, he sure looks playful and even docile, but what are your concerns here about what may happen or what is happening to this tiger . Yeah, thats a big question, what could have happened if we all talked about the what ifs . We at panettiere and other Conservation Organizations are Breathing A Sigh of relief the worst didnt happen. It could have been a hail of bullets, jogger coming down the street or whatever. A lot of people want these small kittens, and they end up being large, very dangerous cats in The End, even if they look docile. We know what happened to siegfried roy. We know what happens when animals are upset because they dont have enough food. Were just happy that nothing really bad happened, and we hope that the tiger is found and h and can be cared for properly. When you look at this video a 9monthold tiger, how many pounds approximately is this animal . Whats its potential . As you just heard from Rosa Flores, theres a belief the animal is being moved around possibly from place to place. So its likely experiencing a lot of trauma in all of this. Oh, yeah, without a doubt. Its an animal welfare issue. Its a Law Enforcement issue, an animal welfare issue, and it could have been worse, like i said. At nine months, this animal is probably sitting at 150 to 180 pounds with the kind of strength that no grown person can endure or persist against. So its a dangerous animal. Even if mr. Cuevas has been seen rolling on the floor, thank goodness the Police Officer that was there on the scene held back and backed off, even though he had a gun. It just could have turned out so much worse. Lets hope we can find this animal. You made reference to siegfried and roy, thats the first thing i thought about with this cat on the prowl, that its been do ammesticated. It has been taught cues and it has tricks. I mean, it kisses and all that stuff. So whats your concern about perhaps whether it is going to be sold or what the plan might be for this animal when it is being trained to sit and to take commands and the domesticated. Yeah. It takes a very controlled environment to be able to predict the behaviors of these large, dangerous animals. You know, i Wild Tiger Normally has a Home Range or a territory of 500 square miles. Now were training them to live in a Living Room or lay around or, in this particular case, probably go from three or four different places or sit in the car with mr. Cuevas as he transfers it. So its an Accident Waiting to happen. Thats why we and others are supporting the Big Cat public safety act. It passed the house last year. It is sitting in the senate. We hope that everybody can see now this is a wakeup call, that there needs to be more regulation on these pet Big Cats because its no its no laughing matter, especially for those people who live in that neighborhood who are now thinking, my gosh, i cant let my kids out, you know . Of course. No one wants anyone to get hurt, and certainly, you know, i know i dont want the cat to get hurt either. Howard quigley, thank you so much. Appreciate it. Sure. Thanks for having me on.
