To china. Good to have you with us. Manhattans top prosecutor has convened a Grand Jury to decide whether to indict former u. S. President Donald Trump. That is according to the Washington Post. Those indictments might happen if the Da Presents Criminal Charges in its investigation into the Trump Organization. The expresident on tuesday again repeated claims that he is the victim of a witchhunt. Cnns Cara Scannell has the details now from new york. Reporter the Washington Post reporting that the Manhattan District Attorneys Office has convened a special Grand Jury to hear evidence in its longrunning investigation of Donald Trump and the Trump Organization. The image of the Grand Jury marks a significant turn and suggests prosecutors believe they have some evidence of a crime. According to the post, the Grand Jury will Sit Three days a week for six months, it will also hear other cases and is not exclusively focused on the trump investigation, but the sitting of a special Grand Jury is a sign that the investigation is advancing and prosecutors are closer to deciding whether to seek potential criminal charges. The Das Investigation has been under way for several years. Prosecutors are investigating numerous potential crimes including tax fraud, insurance fraud, also whether the Trump Organization inflated the value of certain properties to get loans, falsified Business Records or broke the law when reimbursing Michael Cohen for facilitating Hush Money Payments to stormy daniels, the woman who said she had an affair with trump, which he has decide. Late Tuesday Trump said the investigation is purely political, adding, it is a continuation of the greatest witchhunt in american history. Kara scannell, cnn, new york. No former u. S. President has ever faced criminal charges, while No One knows whats going to happen with the Grand Jury, of course, cnns senior legal analyst says the Magnitude And Scrutiny on this case could be unlike anyThing Weve seen before. This is not the kind of Proceeding Weve seen before. Its not a pure political proceeding. If there is a trial, if there is a charge and a trial, there are judges, there are defense lawyers, theres open press, rules of evidence. Its a strict kind of proceeding. And no former president has been in this position ever before. So when we like to think that every case is the same and you bring the same amount of deliberation to every case. I think thats generally true. This is is case different from any case if it gets brought ever brought in the history of the United States. If you are going to do t you have to do it right. You know, i have a word of empathy for the prosecutors in the case. If there is a charge against the former president based on the things that he has done before and the way he speaks out against his adversaries in the legal field, you know, they need to eat some serious breakfast because theyre going to become Household Names and be attacked just for doing their jobs mercilessly by the former president and his minions every day for a long time. Meantime, a Court Filing shows new York Prosecutors investigating trumps former personal attorney have cast a wider net than previously known. They are investigating whether Rudy Giuliani violated foreign Lobbying Laws by acting as an unregistered foreign agent when he sought the ouster of the u. S. Ambassador to ukraine at the time. A falter redaction in the Court Filing shows prosecutors seized materials from ukraines former Chief Prosecutor and two other ukrainians. U. S. President Joe Biden now says sanctions against belarus are in play but he doesnt want to get ahead of in i announcements. His comments comes days after belarus forced the diversion of a Ryanair Flight then arrested roman protasevich on board. A growing number of countries are urging airlines to steer clear of belaruss Air Space, that includes ukraine, which is also banning flights to and from belarus. At the same time a new video has been released showing a russian national detained in minsk along with protasevich. This comes one day after the detained journalist appeared in a separate video. Fred pleitgen joins us from berlin. Fred, a lot of developments here, international outrage, retaliation is growing, now the u. S. Weighing in and of Course Lukashenko apparently is responding to all of this. Reporter yeah, hes speaking in front of the parliament in minsk. He started out saying a little over an hour ago maybe, and there were quite interesting things that were hearing coming out of that. Apparently right now he claims that the Bomb Threat that he says forced the authorities there to make that Jet Land in minsk, that that came from switzerland. It was a uturn because before that the authorities in belarus had said that it was a Bomb Threat that was called in by hamas, even causing hamas to say, no, it wasnt us and actually criticizing Alexander Lukashenko and his government. Thats the new line that he seems to be at the same time he claims that belarus acted in any way that any other country would. He said it will continue to go after its critics and detractors and also claimed that the plane was flying close to a nuclear Power Plant so, therefore, it may have been a dangerous situation. Impair mazing all of this because we are still getting some of these lines in. Obviously, rosemary, the international community so far not buying any of that. You have heard from the Biden Administration which did say that of course sanctions are in play, however, president biden didnt want to get ahead of things. And then also you have the eu that has says it is imposing some new measures against the lukashenko regime, not letting certain figures travel into the eu, sanctions against persons and entities. The measures in the Aviation Sector which on the one hand means that the belarusian airline must not be allowed to fly into Eu Territory and landing at eu airports, at the same time telling European Airlines not to fly over belarusian Air Space and the head of the European Council put out an interesting tweet which essentially showed belarus empty, the Air Space over belarus empty and he said that that was the eu in action. We do see that the europeans and the u. S. To a certain extent working in synch and the eu by its standards being a 27member Bloc working very quickly. Fred pleitgen joins us live from berlin, many thanks. The next phase of the u. S. Secretary of states Middle East mission is under way. Antony blinken is on his way to cairo now, he will be meeting with Egypts President and Foreign Minister to discuss the regional response between the conflict between hamas. Before he met with blinken he met with israeli president Reuven Rivlin. Mr. Rivlin accepted the biden Administrations Invitation to visit the u. S. Before his term in office ends in july. Earlier blinken held a series of meetings with israeli and palestinian leaders to solidify the fragile ceasefire. He warned both sides not to take any action that would threaten it. Any steps that either side takes that either risk sparking violence or over time and ultimately undermine the prospect for returning to the pursuit of two states we oppose. And that includes settlement activity, it includes demolitions, it includes evictions, it includes incitement of violence, it includes payment to terrorists. Elliott gotkine joins us now live from jerusalem. Good to see you. So Secretary Blinken now in egypt, but what all has he achieved so far as he works tone sure this ceasefire holds and also what is the significance of this u. S. Invitation to israels president . Reporter well, rosemary, i dont think Secretary Of State Antony Blinken came with any particularly grandiose ambitions for this trip beyond shoring up the ceasefire between israel and the militants of hamas in gaza. That said, he did come bearing some gifts. So for the palestinians in particular there was a promise of more aid, for example, an additional 75 Million in additional economic assistance, there was a promise to reopen the u. S. Consulate in jerusalem which serves as a De Facto mission to the palestinians which the Trump Administration had closed. And also showed his support for the Palestinian Authority and its president mahmoud abbas, certainly given that the u. S. Doesnt speak to hamas which kind of controls the other part of the Palestinian Territories in the gaza strip. From the Israelis Perspective there was a promise to help replenish the missiles for the Iron Dome aerial Defense System a lot of which were used to defend israel from Rocket Fire during the last couple of weeks and also more support for israels right to defend itself. Now, what he didnt make any bones about was the differences of opinion between israel and the u. S. Visavis iran and the Iran Nuclear Deal but did promise if iran does come back into compliance and if and when the u. S. Gets back on board to the agreement that the Trump Administration pulled the u. S. Out of that they would keep the israelis apprised of any developments and they share the objective of preventing iran from gaining nuclear weapons, just have different approaches, and that this would just be a first step to dealing with other iranrelated issues such as its support for proxies in the region, for example, hezbollah in lebanon. The other gift i suppose for the israelis was this invitation to president Reuven Rivlin and this is to invite him to the White House before Rivlins Term as president ends in a couple of months. Now, there are some people who are viewing this as a kind of a bit of a snub to prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu given that the Biden Administration is inviting rivlin first, but rivlin is the head of state, although it is kind of, you know, a nonformal role, but so this is within protocol. So its probably reading a bit too much into it to view it as anything more than an invitation and perhaps showing the u. S. Is still engaged and happy to be more engaged with the situation here in israel and the Palestinian Territories. All right. Elliott gotkine joining us live from jerusalem. Many thanks. Blinken has some company in the Middle East this week, russia says its now operating longrange bombers out of syria. Russian State Media report three of the War Planes have reached an Air Base North of damascus for training and this comes as the u. S. Confirms a Russia Summit is set for next month in switzerland. President s Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin will have a lot to talk about, including Russias Role in cyber attacks. Here is what the White House says is on the agenda. The leaders will discuss the full range of pressing issues as we seek to Restore Pre Predictability And Stability to the u. S. russia relationship. We expect they will spend a fair amount of time on strategic civility. Where the Arms Agenda goes following the extension of new start, obviously we are both members of the p5 1 as those negotiations are going going. The president will raise ukraine, and he will also plan to raise belarus and convey our grave concerns as he has now done publicly. The United States is calling for another investigation into the origins of the coronavirus, but this time experts want an independent and transparent probe with no restrictions, unlike the World Health organizations fourweek trip to china earlier this year. In a meeting on tuesday dr. Anthony Fauci And Other Officials noted further inspection is critical to preventing future pandemics. Many of us feel that it is more likely that this is a natural occurrence as has happened with Sars Co V 1 but we dont know 100 the answer to that because we dont know 100 what the origin is its imperative that we look and do the investigation. We need a transparent process from china, we need the w. H. O. To assist in that manner. We dont feel like we have that now. We need to get to the bottom of this whatever the answer may be and thats critical priority for us. The World Health organization is reporting a drop in global covid infections, saying they were down 14 last week compared to the week prior. The largest decline was in europe. Here in the u. S. The sevenday average of new cases is below 25,000 for the first time in almost a year and at least check about 131 Million americans are fully vaccinated, but the battle continues. Experts are turning their focus to vaccinating young americans, warning they could still face longterm symptoms even though their chances of serious illness are low. As americans head toward the memorial Day Weekend the head of the cdc is encouraging all eligible people to get vaccinated. If you are not vaccinated, our guidance has not changed for you. You remain at risk of infection, you still need to mask and take other precautions. And if you are not vaccinated i want to encourage you to take this holiDay Weekend to give yourself and your family the gift of protection. Now to another blow for olympic organizers. A top japanese newspaper, one of the official partners of the Tokyo Olympics, has published and editorial calling for the games to be canceled due to the pandemic. They also accuse prime Minister Suga of putting on the games against the will of the public. Cnns Selina Wang joins us from tokyo where the olympics are set to open in less than two months from now. Good to see you. Not only does 80 of the population not want the games to go ahead but now this calls to cancel the games coming from an official olympic partner of the tokyo games. How much impact could this have . Reporter hi, rosemary. Great to be with you. That is exactly right, this is one of the most influential newspapers in japan, the second widest circulating newspaper in the country and not only is it the first major newspaper to call for a cancellation, but its also a major olympic sponsor and the real question here is whether it leads to a Domino Effect of other sponsors also Speaking Out, calling for a cancellation of the games. One Political Scientist told me that he thinks this is a remarkable act that will then create the permission for others to follow in its footsteps. Now, this comes on top of poll after poll as well showing that the majority in japan do not want these games held this summer and the sentiment is really growing that you have money, politics and sport being put ahead of peoples lives. This also comes shortly after the u. S. State department had issued a Travel Advisory warning americans to avoid travel to japan because of a surge of covid19 cases in this country. Following that you now have u. S. Public health experts calling for an urgent assessment of the risks associated with the tokyo olympic games. They say that the risk is not just the further spread of covid19 within japan, but also the spread of variants Around The World as these thousands of athletes eventually return to their more than 200 home countries. This also tracks with concerns from the medical community in japan with a group of 6,000 doctors in tokyo calling for a cancellation of the games. Right now just about 2 of the population in japan has been fully vaccinated and tokyo and much of japan is still under a state of emergency. Rosemary . Selina wang joining us live from tokyo.

Police have declared a riot in downtown portland, oregon. They say crowds threw metal spikes in the road and bottles at officers late tuesday, then marched to City Hall and started breaking windows. Police have warned arrests will be made if Criminal Activity continues. This comes on the Oneyear Anniversary of George Floyds death. Several rallies were held in his honor around the city earlier in the day. In minneapolis, minnesota, large crowds gathered in George Floyd square where one year ago floyd drew his final breath. The anniversary of his murder by a Police Officer is being marked across the country with marches and memorials. In houston is crowd chanted Floyds Name and cheered as they released balloons in tribute. And here in atlanta there were shouts of Power To The People as supporters honored his life and legacy. Earlier in washington, d. C. Cameras captured this powerful image, George Floyds daughter, gianna entering the White House while a member of the military held the door for her. She is just seven years old. The Floyd Family spent more than an hour in a private meeting with the u. S. President and Vice President and afterwards gianna had this to say about her father. Say his name. George floyd. While in washington the Floyd Family is meeting with key congressional leaders and negotiators. They are pushing to get the George Floyd justice in Policing Act passed. The Familys Attorney says they believe a bipartisan deal is possible. Well, we are optimistic both Senator Scott and Senator Graham talked to the family for over an hour, talking about how theyre making progress, how both sides of the aisle are at the table and they are trying to define specific terms because they feel that they are close, the closest they have ever been, so we want to encourage them in the spirit of this day. Meantime, in Louisiana A Police Officer involved in the death of another Black Man has been fired for using excessive force in a separate incident. Ronald greene died in may 2019. Body Cam Footage shows officers tasing and repeatedly beating him. Police had said he was killed in a Car Accident and now Greenes Family is alleging a Cover Up. A warning, our report from Brian Todd contains some graphic footage. Reporter theres growing pressure on the new superintendent of the Louisiana State police to bring justice in the case of the brutal beating of motorist Ronald Greene. You have my commitment that we will follow the facts and hold our personnel accountable. Reporter but simply firing the officers involved, if that happens, might not satisfy Ronald Greenes family. Someone needs to pay. Someone needs to go to jail for this. This is murder, what happened to my son ronnie. Reporter but so far No One has been charged in relation to Ronald Greenes death, meanwhile the man heard on Body Cam Footage praising the officers who had beaten greene during his Traffic Stop is now the focus of additional allegations of a Cover Up on the part of Louisiana State police. You did your job. Reporter that senior Officer Lieutenant John Clary who arrived on the scene while greene was still detained did not initially report his own Body Camera Footage in evidence submitted to the local District Attorney. Thats according to a spokesperson for the Louisiana State police. They very disturbing. It really validates that this is a Cover Up. How was that missed after so long by the higher executives in that department . Reporter its not clear why Lieutenant Clary praised the other officers at the scene or what he knew about the incident at the time. A Louisiana State Police Captain tells cnn Lieutenant Clary who arrived after other officers used physical force to detain greene during the 2019 incident, had three Body Camera videos showing troopers still holding greene to the ground, showing greene moaning and depicting officers explaining why they didnt sit Ronald Greene upright. I was going to sit him up but he was spitting blood all over us. Reporter greene died on the way to a hospital after being punched, kicked, tased and restrained on the ground, despite video showing him appearing to be compliant with the officers. Im your brother. Im scared. Reporter the louisiana Police Captain said theyre conducting internal reviews to determine why Lieutenant Clary did not initially report his videos. Clary is also accused by an attorney for Greenes Family of lying about another aspect this have incident. He alleged that when he arrived that ronald was still aggressively resisting arrest, that additional force was necessary in order to get him under control, but what you find in his actual Body Cam Footage was that ronald was already in handcuffs, he was hog tied, he had feet shackles, that he was fully compliant. Reporter cnn has reached out but has not been able to get comment from lieutenant John Clary for his attorney, we have also not been able to get comment from two of the other surviving officers involved in the case or their attorneys. Brian todd, cnn, washington. Ronald Greenes Family filed a wrongful Death Suit last may claiming he was brutalized by police which caused his death. Their attorney is demanding all the officers involved be fired and arrested. At this point we cant take anyone at their word. We think that Colonel Davis is doing his level best to be as transparent about what actually happened, but at this point, you know, we are going to need to go over all of the evidence with a finetooth comb. We believe that District Attorney belton should have another opportunity to determine the evidence and decide whether or not to bring criminal State Charges and certainly there should be a Pattern And Practice investigation into the entire Louisiana State police apparatus. We are demanding that these officers be arrested but the only Thing Weve got back was conversations about termination. Look, if i beat someone to death on the job and then i lie about it in all the reports and that evidence comes out, the last thing im worried about is whether or not im going to keep my job. I should lose my freedom and thats what were waiting for. Greenes Family Plans to travel to Baton Rouge Tomorrow for a march from Louisianas State Capital to the governors home.

Reporter on the House Side Resin mccarthy calling her comments appalling and saying the conference condemns this language republican Whip Steve Scalise saying that he condemns these comparisons to the holocaust, after repeated requests from comments from cnn the leaders are finally responding, but also couching their criticism by attempting to accuse pelosi and democrats of not doing enough to call out antisemitism. Still the delayed rebuke from Gop Leadership causing an avalanche of criticism from Rank And File republicans. Texas congressman Dan Crenshaw tweeting, remember when we all criticized aoc for comparing Detention Centers to Concentration Camps because it was so stupid and insulting to holocaust survivors. Youre doing the same thing. Just stop. Greene, meanwhile, not backing down, repeating her comparison more forcefully in a tweet tuesday morning, saying, quote, vaccinated employees get a Vaccination Logo just like the nazis forced jewish people to wear a gold star. But while the condemnation is piling up the question is will action follow . House Speaker Nancy pelosi who was the target of greenes comments stopped short of calling her to be censured or expelled. Its so beyond reprehensible that its i mean, it has no place in our country. Do you think she should be expelled or censured because of it, madam . I think that she should [ inaudible ]. Reporter Pelosis Office calling out mccarthy for enabling greene saying, quote, leader Mccarthys Silence has spoken volumes about his allegiance to the most extreme elements of the gop conference.

Wtf is wrong with you, he tweeted. I think you need to pay a visit to the u. S. Holocaust museum. And republican Adam Kinzinger saying its time for mccarthy To Boot Greene from the conference. I think we should kick her out of the conference, prevent her from, you know, coming to conference meetings, benefiting from Conference Materials and im not sure if that will happen, but its just going to continue this kind of stuff. Its just mind numbing. Reporter while the House Speaker np stopped short of saying that Marjorie Taylor greene should face some sort of punishment for her controversial comments, there are members of congress that are ready to take that step. Illinois congressman Brad Schneider saying that he will introduce a resolution to Sensor Greene for her remarks saying she needs to be held accountable. Ryan nobles, cnn, on capitol hill.

He spoke earlier with cnn about greenes comments. I hear a trivial zags of the holocaust, a manipulation of the holocaust, a misrepresentation of the holocaust. I hear extraordinary and disgusting disrespect for the 6 Million jews for whom that yellow star meant they were ghettoized, shoved into boxcars, gassed and incinerated. To compare a yellow star which was used to objectify and devalue of lives of so many millions of people, to compare that to a mask, which is used to sanctify life, to value life, to protect life, yours, mine, everyone elses, i have to say i could not think of a worse or more false analogy. Its absolutely mindboggling. Greene was stripped of her committee assignments earlier this year.

He is reportedly suing his prison to get access to books of his choice for for allegedly censoring his newspapers. In an Instagram Post on Tuesday Navalny said he is facing three new criminal investigations. In Northern Italy three people are in Custody And Face manslaughter charges for a Cable Car Crash that left 14 people dead on sunday. Those arrested include the cable Cars Head of service and two others tied to the company. Cnn contributor Bobby Nadeau is following this story and joins us live. What more are you learning about these arrests . Reporter well, we spoke to the prosecutor this morning and shes working on the theory that they tampered with the automatic Brake System. Now, that should have been the system that stopped this car when the cable stopped and plummeted down the hill. There were Surveillance Cameras trained on this car when the accident happened and they are using that information. It looked to them as if the Brake System had been sort of jimmied open, it had been jammed in a way that seemed at least to the prosecutor intentional. Now, the investigation is still going on. There should have been another Safety Measure in place that would have even if the Brake System would have stopped it should have stopped the car from plummeting down the hill. We know it took about ten seconds for this car to go back, there were only five meters from the platform where they were supposed to get off, everyone waiting on the car were ready, saw the accident. Theres so many witness testimonies coming out that underscore the horrific nature of this accident. Whats important now is theyre trying to find the culpability and trying to understand who made the mistake if someone in fact did that caused this horrific accident, rosemary. It is such a tragedy. Barbie nadeau bringing us the latest. Many thanks. British Prime Minister Boris Johnsons former Top Adviser is in parliament this morning to testify about the Governments Response to the coronavirus and he knows plenty about it after a messy falling out between the two men last year. His appearance has the potential to deal a blow to johnsons political career. Cnns Bianca Nobilo is outside 10 Downing Street, she joins us now live. Bianca, what could this potentially mean for prime Minister Johnson . Reporter well, rosemary, i think some of that potential is actually already been realized. We are only 13 minutes into this parliamentary committee and Dominic Cummings came out of the gate strong, critical of the way the government has handled the pandemic from the outset. His Opening Remark he said the truth is senior ministers, senior officials like me felt disastrously short of the standards that the public has a right to expect in a crisis like this. When the public needed us most, the government failed. He then in the last few moments, rosemary, before i started speaking to you said that the government was not operating on a footing of any urgency, only a month before the country had to be locked down because of the pandemic back in 2020. He also said that key figures in the management of the pandemic were literally skiing and then mentioned the fact that the Prime Minister was on holiday for two weeks. Like i said, only 30 minutes in and were getting a sense of exactly why Downing Street and the Prime Minister were braced for this event today. This could Go On for four hours, rosemary. So if you consider what weve learned already, this is why the government is concerned about whats going on today and Dominic Cummings has been teasing his key arguments. He has a thread of 65 messages where hes been making key points about where the government went wrong. Chiefly that they were first pursuing a Herd Immunity strategy, meaning the government were considering allowing the coronavirus to run through the population, infecting as many people as possible. He said that was the initial official policy of the government, to have a socalled single Peak Strategy so there would be some Herd Immunity for the winter of 2020. Number 10 has denied this and said thats not the case. Dominic cummings is accusing the government of lacking transparency and not being honest with the public about these things. He is going to say that he feels the country was locked down too late in march and november and that lives could have been saved had these decisions been made differently. This is already a fairly explosive proceeding as far as the people behind me in that building are concerned. Wow. Such bombshells, it will be interesting to see what the consequences of all of this will be. Booeng Kae Nobilo joining us from outside 10 Downing Street. Many thanks.

Despite all that he may not be forgiven. Our will ripley is covering the controversy live from taipei where siennas new movie had its global debut. Sienna apologized profusely to china but he is now getting attacked from all directions. Whats the latest . Reporter you would think, rosemary, that John Cena of all people would be used to getting attacked from all directions as not only a Movie Star but a pro wrestler, but i bet he has experienced something a whole new level, if you will, when hes dealing with chinese Social Media. I can tell you from personal experience i had my 15 minutes at the center of chinese Social Media a number of years ago and they can be with you, they can be against you, you can get canceled, then they can love you, but right now, well, the response has not been so great for John Cenas apology. After he gave an interview to a taiwanese broadcaster in mandarin, a Western Star thats actually made the effort to learn mandarin and try to connect with the chinese fans knowing that his movie has a big Fan Base in china.
