clapton for joining us on cnn. i am michael holmes, appreciate your company as we continue to cover the israel-hamas war. we do begin in gaza. at a horrific scene outside the largest hospital in gaza city. we will show you video obtained by cnn, it is extremely graphic. the israeli military admits that it was behind the airstrike, just outside the hospital, hitting an ambulance, killing at least 15 people. you can see scenes of carnage of chaos. the ambulance was said to be a part of the convoy selecting patients to southern gaza. the idf claims the ambulance was being used by hamas and it had used emergency vehicles to transport fighters and weapons in the past. following developments for us from abu dhabi, she joined me now, good to see you, lainey. the loss of civilian life continues, the strike on or near ambulance is outside, just the latest brings of the day for what we know. clearly, seeing those images of bodies strewn sheer panic, this is the result of an israeli airstrike on an ambulance just outside the largest hospital in gaza where we heard, this is of course, from the palestinian rate, that it was in a convoy of other ambulances that were carrying the injured heading towards the south. international committee passes it was aware of this convoy, with part of the convoy, that even so that doesn't justify a strike on an ambulance. the ambulances that are carrying the injured should not be a target. now the idf is saying that it was carrying hamas operatives, we don't know exactly where they were targeting but we can see it through those images the aftermath of that. the health ministry saying that 60 people are injured in this latest strike. antony blinken, the u.s. secretary of state was in tel aviv yesterday, meeting with prime minister benjamin netanyahu. we are rewriting the need for some kind of humanitarian pause and talking about the need for mediation talks. of course, benjamin netanyahu has been very categorical their wannabe cease-fire or any at this juncture. but antony blinken, course, talking about the need for this type of assistance, this type of intervention because the sheer number of civilian deaths in gaza has reached untenable levels and of course having a direct impact in the way people are seeing israel's response to the october 7th terrorist attack, and the proportionality of it. >> oh, i wanted to also ask you, as all of that goes on, the efforts continue on getting more than a triple and more than a trickle of people out of gaza, what is the latest there? >> look, i mean, i was looking through the numbers and posted red crescent it is saying that there are around 374 aid trucks that have been entering gaza since october 7th. i wanted juxtapose that with the reality of needs in gaza before october 7, 450 aid trucks on a single day into gaza so firstly it shows that resources absolutely scares, there is a deficit of water and food and of course radical equipment and medical supplies. we have been hearing from so many hospitals and doctors saying that they are operating without anesthetics, without the simplest of medical requirements, you will, of course, is one of the big issues, even antony blinken was saying fuel will not be allowed to gaza. the fear is that it's going to end up in hamas's hands. what that means for hospitals that have now had to shut down, that of course, vitally required to treat patients, it means that many hospitals are out of service. the other issue is getting enough water into gaza. of course, a vital need and food, as well. we also have been speaking to other international organizations. there is a dire situation playing out with cesarean sections, pregnant women having to go under this intense surgery without any anesthetics, and the stories continue. the aid situation is a big one, and of course, that creates major concerns in terms of how to get enough aid in, the u.s. secretary of state reiterating the point that they have to find a way to get aid into hospitals to get assistance into the gaza strip and then of course we have all seen so many people evacuating, especially nationals through the rafa border crossing. there is so much happening right now. of course, international intervention have been increasing as we are seeing the death toll rising . >> all right, thanks for the update. there in abu dhabi for us. >> now that airstrike outside the hospital came as delaney was in, the u.s. secretary of state, antony blinken, was meeting with israeli leaders, using more care avoiding civilian casualties, he also pressed for a quote, humanitarian pause in the fighting. the prime minister flatly rejected any suggestion of a cease-fire until all israeli hostages are free. with his israeli forces reportedly encircling gaza city, u.s. officials say they expect the campaign to subside as idf soldiers advance on the ground. retired major general mick ryan of the australian army joined me now from brisbane, australia. good to see you, talk about this new reporting that the americans anticipate israel's campaign. a more tactical ground operation if you like, and to that point, israel says it is pretty much surrounded gaza city, what is your read on israel's tactics in the military sense? >> will good day, michael. i think the u.s. assessment is pretty close to the mark. what we have seen since the seventh of october has been heavily and air campaign but over the last week with the incursions into the north and across gaza, they have now been able to isolate or the gaza that leads to the ocean that they undertook, has cut off. they would have cordoned off more than gaza and focus now will be greasing hamas on the ground and, of course, under it. >> we are seeing more and more concerned, of course, over civilian deaths in gaza. we have heard these calls for a pause in fighting. you said militarily this operation could take weeks or months. with the staggering death toll in gaza, does israel risk losing the end of the war for one of the better descriptions, the support of some countries which are essentially all in? >> clearly the u.s. administration and others have concerns about the targeting of certain areas particularly hospitals and ambulances and proportionality of their collateral damage and whether they really need to be attacked with the weapons they are. and whether there is a terrorist in an ambulance or not, whether it is proportionate to attack is a separate question and might kill if you hamas terrorists, but you might lose the information war around the world. i think israel is really needing to rethink their targeting process, to longer- term political needs. >> speak to the child is, to that point, can israel's stated aim of destroying hamas completely. is that even possible in a military sense as opposed to damaging hamas's capabilities for a period of time and rinse repeat of the past happens again a few years ago? >> well, the military might be useful destroying a lot of hamas infrastructure and their lenders, at the end of the military problem, it is a political problem. there is perception among certain gazans that we resist the israelis, the israelis need to also have a political approach that solves the political issues and makes it not hamas just a terrorist organization but relevant to the people of gaza. >> up, and yeah, which reminds me, you recently wrote, and i will just quote you, in modern war, victory must therefore include the binary approaches of winning the war as well as winning the peace. such must be the case with israel's gaza operations. what are the risks, then? where is the line in gaza, do people not connected to hamas actually create more not fewer? >> that is the risk when you have a heavily military focused lane, the focus is winning the war but their preparations for winning the peace, we might be seeing a more violent division of what israel has called mowing the grass. clearly that strategy has failed. more likely to succeed. >> i wanted to ask you, too, about what you made of the hezbollah leaders speech. reserving the right, if we can put it that way, to get more involved, but not signaling that happening in anyway, what was your read on that, particularly in the context of iran's support of hezbollah? >> kind of threw hamas under the bus, he said this is a hamas problem, it is not a regional problem, we reserve our right, do not want to repeat of 2006 with the israelis really and could hurt them again, if they try something even more. >> yakama and going back to gaza, what do you think the chances are with hamas just sending its fighters south through those tunnels to fight another day? >> i think the court or the israelis have set up on the ground would probably be a comes in need with detection tunnels go beneath that corridor. so there may be some potentials for that but my sense is most of the tunnels the israelis are focused on around the moment around gaza city, where your hostages are, and a few hamas fighters, probably less than certain by that but hostages in gaza city. we mick ryan in brisbane, australia. always good to get your analysis, my friend, thank you. >> thanks, michael. now palestinians in gaza mourning the death of palestine tv correspondent, on friday. he was killed in southern gaza on thursday along with 11 members of his family. as that civilian death stole totally grows. united nations sounding the alarm, as well. reports on the humanitarian crisis in the enclave. warning, some may find the images. >> translator: it is every journalists worst nightmare. truck while i'm on there, this reporter found out his colleague was killed. and in his utter despair, he rips off his flak jacket. there is no protection at all. no international law, nothing, he says. the safety gear, this helmet, it does nothing to keep us safe. these are just slogans, the journalist isn't protected at all. correspondent, and 11 of his family members killed in an alleged israeli airstrike, palestine tv reporter. he is among the 33 journalists killed since the start of the conflict on october 7th making it the deadliest period for the news media since the group began tracking in 1992, it said. >> it is early. >> was killed in southern gaza. the part of the strip the israeli military cells civilians to flee towards but continues to strike down. many families, too afraid or unable to evacuate remain here in the north of the strip, where gaza city is encircled by israeli troops, the idf says, and some 300 to 400,000 civilians were trapped. the u.n. estimates. they are stuck in a gate. relentless airstrikes and a ground assault have leveled neighborhoods. and left over 1000 children missing under the rubble. humanitarian organizations say they are parents keep digging for them. clear my four children, this father cries. why, god? why didn't you let me die? why? and there is nowhere to turn for refuge. u.n. shelters where nearby israeli firepower has claimed the lives, no longer safafe. no many gazans who live on the e streets of a a w war z zone. > we are humans, we are not terrorists, he says, look, we have our children around us. not even the u.n. shelters can protect us. only god can protect us. and with israeli troops closing in, their plight seems increasingly more precarious. cnn, london. the israeli prime minister says he will not agree to a cease-fire in gaza unless hamas releases all of its hostages. sources telling cnn israeli officials have been frustrated with hamas releasing only one or two at a time. >> i clarified that we, israel, is going with all its force and refused to any cease-fire which does not include bringing back our hostages. >> the u.s. secretary of state, antony blinken, meeting with netanyahu and other top officials in israel on friday. we have more details now from cnn's becky anderson. >> reporter: u.s. secretary of state, antony blinken, arriving in tel aviv on friday, with a forceful message. america's top diplomat reinforced washington's support for israel's right to defend itself after the brutal october the seventh hamas attacks. but he also said this. >> how israel does this matters and it is very important that when it comes to the protection of civilians who are caught in a crossfire of hamas is making that everything can be done to protect them and to bring assistance to those who so desperately needed. >> and his meeting with israel's war cabinet, blinken pushed for a humanitarian pause to help get the hostages released. some of whom are american citizens. >> the number of legitimate questions were raised in our discussions today, including how to use any period of pause to maximize the humanitarian assistance. how to connect the pause to a release of hostages for how to make sure that hamas doesn't use this to its own advantage. >> reporter: after meeting with blinken, israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, insisted his government opposes any temporary cease-fire unless hamas frees all the hostages. and sources tell cnn, defense minister, directly told blinken there will be no pause without their release. those directly involved in the counter led talks say negotiators need a quote, period of calm to facilitate the hostage release. >> obviously when they have constant bombardment on this, you can't expect the hostages to be safely moved, so the plan, the best situation for us would be a period of calm that will allow for the hostages to be taken out of the habitat, but at the same time with the humanitarian aid to go. >> blinken has left israel, the fate of the hostages remains far from certain. becky anderson, cnn, dohyo. israel is getting some high- tech help from the united states and the search for those hostages. cnn reports from the pentagon. >> reporter: the u.s. military is spotlighting surveillance drones over gaza in an attempt to provide israelis with intel about the possible location of hostages and assist in the hostage rescue efforts, according to multiple u.s. officials familiar with the operations of these drones have been flying since october 7th, when the u.s., shortly thereafter, said it would help israel anyway it could on intel and planning for hostage rescue effort, these drones, we don't know what type they are, but these drones have been a part of that, they are unarmed surveillance drones, according to the pentagon, which is knowledged on friday these operations that are meant to provide intel in the ongoing hostage rescue attempt by flying over southern gaza, take a look at this graphic, that red line, those numerous redlines, i should say, shows the trajectories in the flight path of these different drones so you can see them focusing there on southern gaza over the course of the past several days and weeks. now this coming as the u.s. now has two carrier strike groups in the eastern mediterranean that have been operating and exercising together. the defense department putting up these images of the u.s. says dwight d eisenhower, and the u.s.s. gerald r. ford working together in the eastern med, they have been exercised together for the past several days and then shortly thereafter the pentagon had announced that the dwight d. eisenhower would then go through the suez canal and be in the waters of u.s. central command. the waters of the middle east, essentially. this is part of a broader effort not only to deter iran and iran's proxies from getting involved in the writing in gaza but also to make sure u.s. forces have force protection, we have seen a number of attacks on u.s. forces, so this is very much part of an effort to show a massive display of firepower and u.s. force in the region. cnn, in the pentagon. the destruction and acapulco from hurricane otis was massive and 10 days later, people in the resort town are still struggling to find clean water and other necessities. we will have that story and more when we come back. more than a week after a powerful hurricane otis ripped through acapulco in mexico, people in the tourist destination are still coping without the basis subsidies. the storm killed at least 46 people, dozens are still missing, about 80% of the city's hotels are severely damaged, that is according to the mexican government preliminary assessment. only six people were killed in tuscany, italy on thursday after torrential rain and strong winds from this dorm named karen tore through the region. more on that story. >> reporter: the first major storm of the year, here on, that was the name that came through with 184 kilometer per hour winds, also some rainfall totals almost up to a quarter of a meter and here's tuscany, the flooding in tuscany where the center never got closer than 600 kilometers from there. how did that happen. well the waves and all the wind really in france and also into the uk but the storm itself is to the west of copenhagen, but noticed what happened down here in a very warm mediterranean sea. the cold front came through tuscany, and it just rained for hours and hours and hours without end. and now we got so much rainfall down there now look at this 237 millimeters of rainfall but more reports are still coming in. the biggest number of read 184. that is really a short shooting a formula one car, that is really going fast. 120 miles per hour. there is the next storm on the way already, and may be affecting you depending on where you are, but there is the low pressure. it is domingo, the next name to storm. it isn't nearly as strong as charon, but it will still bring heavy rainfall and also some very gusty winds, which could be 100 kilometers per hour, especially west or bordeaux. some of the areas that are very rocky, that coastal rocky surface just smashing waves into the shore and most of the rainfall there even to parts of lisbon, portugal could see some rainfall, they could really use it somebody else i can really use this precipitation is the alps. and yes there will be snow in the alps, this is a much colder storm than the one that just came through. >> ted myers therefore is, now in the paul, strong earthquakes has killed at least 729 people and injured 140 and officials say the death toll is expected to rise. the u.s. geological survey report the quake was magnitude 5.6, at the epicenter in the western region of the country. people felt the tremors as far as way as they capital, kathmandu, about 500 kilometers or 300 miles in the center. nepal's prime minister has arrived in the area near the epicenter, according to his office, and india's prime minister is expressing his condolences to the earthquake victims. class i am michael holmes, for international viewers, connecting africa is up next, and for those in north america we have more on the israel- hamas war, coming up. we will see you. you're probably not easily persuaded to switch mobile providers for your business. but what if we told you it's possible that comcast business mobile can save you up to 75% a year on your wireless bill versus the big three carriers? have we piqued your interest? you can get two unlimited lines for just $30 each a month. there are no term contracts or line activation fees. and you can bring your own device. oh, and all on the most reliable 5g mobile network nationwide. wireless that works for you. it's not just possible. at least two rockets from gaza made in a direct hit on friday evening before journalist, including our cnn team. now that blast hit a kindergarten courtyard, shrapnel damaging the building and some nearby cars. no casualties reported. meanwhile, an egyptian border official says 300 33 foreign nationals were allowed to cross into egypt from gaza on friday, as israel continues to strike what it says are hamas targets. a young palestinian american among the evacuees. >> i didn't think to be scared. happened to my friends and my family and my house, and i miss my friends, i feel bad that not everybody is safe and lots of people are dying. >> joined me now is ricardo perez, he is a spokesperson with unicef, who has been in communication with aid workers on the ground, and thanks for doing so, thanks for the work that your organization does. in fact, a couple of days ago, unicef spokesman said, quote, gaza has become a graveyard for thousands of children, a living for everyone else. try to give us a sense of how dire conditions are for kids there right now. >> thank you for having me, michael. very dire, the situation is desperate, it's catastrophic. right now, for hundreds of thousands of children in gaza, we need an immediate humanitarian cease-fire, and also the release of all the hostages that were taken from their homes and israel into gaza and right now in the gaza strip, children are living a relentless nightmare day after day, bombs, fire attacks, death, grief, it's just unbearable for them, they have been enduring this for weeks or longer, the nightmare that no child should ever have to go through. we have reportedly now over 3.7 thousand children killed since october the seventh. 7000+ injured, that is an average of over 400 children killed or injured reported every day, michael, that is an unacceptable number, it is almost one child every 10 minutes, so with the speakers, you can imagine how dire it is. >> they are staggering numbers, i was reading those earlier, more children are being killed in this conflict than in 18 months of the war in ukraine, and 420 kids a day killed or injured. and it is staggering. now israeli kids, as you pointed out, they have been traumatized, of course. 20 are being held hostage right now. but unicef said that before this late escalation, more than 800,000 kids in gaza, that is three quarters of the entire child population, were identified as needing mental health and psychological support. that, again, is before this conflict. we know deaths, we know the injuries, what is and what will be the psychological impact of this war on kids for probably years to come? >> it is already very heavy, michael, you can imagine children are like sponges so they absorb a lot of what is happening around them in their environment and children in gaza, but also in israel, have been enduring decades of their ancestors and their parents, decades and decades of you know, tensions in the region, intensity, conflict, different rounds of conflict, and these children now, in gaza, the 800,000 that you mention, three quarters of the child population, they are experiencing nothing else but fear, fear, grief, loss, insecurity, and confusion, obviously. so if before this escalation, three out of four children were already vulnerable and reportedly in need of mental health support. we can only imagine what the situation is now it is only getting worse and it will have a very long-term impact on a whole generation of children. >> yeah, i have been to gaza several times, last i think 2019. life is always a struggle in gaza. given the life losses, but also the loss of perhaps half the housing units in the strip, the damaged infrastructure, what are going to be the broader, long-term needs once this is over? what is the world going to need to do to sustain life in gaza as well as help those kids? >> it is so hard to imagine because the situation now is so desperate that you know, the whole gaza strip has been basically leveled down to rebel , as you mentioned earlier it has become a cemetery for children, they are dying, they are hiding in schools that were supposed to be places for them to learn and thrive and now even there they are not safe, they are actually not safe anywhere right now in the gaza strip, so rebuilding that place, that infrastructure, that war infrastructure, hospitals, schools, houses, it is hard to imagine how long it will take but certainly many many years. >> yep, well the world is going to have to come together on that point with groups and organizations like yours, i always wonder about your staff, how they are doing, because, of course, they are there trying to help and do their jobs, but they live there, they have their own families, how are your people doing, they are kids, what did they tell you? >> very distressed, michael, very distressed, we have been in touch regularly with our staff in the gaza strip and many of them have indeed lost family members, loved ones, children. we spoke to a woman the other day and she has two daughters, one four years of age and the other, seven. in both of them are living through different traumatizing experiences. her youngest one was asking her mom the other day why can't she have normal water as she used to ? now the water taste so salty and no long-term impacts and their health this could have and her other daughter was experiencing severe symptoms of mental health distress. she was ripping her own hair or scratching her legs until it led and her mom, watching all that, couldn't think of anything else but getting them through the next day, to keep them alive. so so concerned at the moment with longer-term impacts that these situations will cause them, but just trying to keep them alive, that is how desperate our colleagues are, many of them, and we are happy that none of them have lost their lives but they have certainly seen a lot of grief and loss relatives. >> heartbreaking testimony. ricardo perez with the unicef, thank you so much, appreciate your time and what yours and other organizations are trying to do. >> thank you. eight agencies warning that the people of gaza are running out of supplies, have a look at this, you can see crowds of people this is in waiting in lines for foods and filling up plastic jugs with water. desperate situation. the director of the main u.n. agency in gaza says the sisituation there just keeps getting worse. > we have over 4000 people o average inin the h.o.m.e. act 47 schools which are now opererating. conditions there are becoming desperate, in terms of sanitation, and that is just the basic services. peoplele are havining to go out the street and try to find water and food and this is for the whole population, really, in gaza, food and water is increasingly in short susupply. so the situation continues to get worse here in gaza. >> the spokesperson for the u.n. says it would cost $1.2 billion to meet the needs of the people in gaza and the west bank and that is just for the rest of this year. the white house says u.s. embassy in cairo has helped more than 100 u.s. citizens and family members get out of gaza the departures which began on wednesday are the first since the war between israel and hamas began almost a month ago. and as melissa belknap reports for as many others, they are still waiting for the chance to these families, just some of the first born and dual nationals finally permitted through the rafa crossing into egypt on wednesday, the result of a deal brokered by qatar between israel, hamas, egypt, and the united states that will allow all foreign and dual nationals to leave the besieged enclave. also allowed to leave under the deal, the first palestinians, 80 one of the most severely wounded, those desperate enough for urgent surgical intervention taken one by one in a convoy of ambulances to a field hospital set up a few miles away and two other hospitals in northern egypt. large crowds of foreign nationals have been amassing at the border after hearing that they would be allowed out. families desperately checking to see if they were some of those lucky enough finally to get through. >> i am an american living in gaza, we heard that the crossing was open but unfortunately we discovered that it was open for specific nationalities at the moment. and we had to turn back because the cellular network was down and we weren't aware that there was a list. we hope to see our names on the list tomorrow or the next day. >> as the only crossing from gaza to anywhere other than israel, all eyes have been on rafa ever since the steeds of the strip was announced by israel. it is the only way in and out now, and what has gone and has been painfully little. a further 20 trucks arriving on wednesday, drop in the ocean. given the news inside. for some here, it has been days or even weeks of waiting and praying. with ever dwindling supplies and under the constant fear of israeli strikes, even here in the south where civilians have been told by the idf to evacuate. nowhere in gaza is safe. so finally, for a small few, a chance to leave and live again. cnn, cairo. the leader of hezbollah says america is fully responsible for the war in gaza. reiterating a call for a cease- fire but he said the u.s. is preventing, and that is why islamic resistance factions are targeting american positions in iraq. the hezbollah secretary-general also warned that, quote, all scenarios of possible on the border between lebanon and israel where hezbollah is based. >> reporter: the worry is that the possibility of this front is actually escalating or going into a fully fledged war or becoming a wider war is a realistic one. it can happen, and the enemy has to make every provision for this, and i'm sure they do make every provision for this, and i'm sure they do think about it. >> all israel has done in the last 75 years is commit massacres. israel will not win this time, and gaza would be victorious. hezbollah is backed by iran and has been skirmishing almost daily with the israeli military on the israel-lebanon border. donald trump son, eric, took the stand in new york on friday for a second day of testimony in his father's civil fraud trial. we will have details, and when the former president himself will take the stand that is after r the break. a federal appeals court has issued a temporary freeze to a gag order that kept all trump from speaking out about his federal election subversion criminal case. the former president can now publicly criticize possible witnesses in the case. also on friday, the judge overseeing trumps civil fraud trial expanded the gag order to those proceedings to include trump's attorneys, and donald trump's son, eric, finished up his testimony. more on that. took eric trump wrapped his testimony on friday after being on the stand for four hours over two days. in his testimony, he stood by the accuracy of these financial statements, something that the judge has already found to be fraudulent. eric trump testified that after he was comforted by lawyers and accountants, that these financial statements for perfect, he says he is more than happy to sign them, adding he wouldn't have signed anything that was inaccurate. the judge also extended a gag order in this case two attorneys, saying they cannot make any references both in port, and outside of court, without any of the confidential communications the judge has with his staff. this is after trump lawyers have raised questions of potential bias with the judge's clerk passing notes to him during the trial and during testimony next on the stand will be donald trump and eric trump after leaving court said that his father is more than ready. >> he thinks this is one of the most incredible injustices he has ever seen. >> reporter: trump's testimony is expected to last all day monday. next up will be evocative trump, she is scheduled to testify on wednesday and after that the attorney general's office will rested their case cnn, new york. caught in colorado and minnesota are hearing lawsuits aimed at keeping trump off the 2024 presidential ballot in those states that on friday, witness testimony wrapped up in colorado, and the denver district court is set to hear closing arguments on the 15th of this month. the lawsuits say that the former president is ineligible to hold office under the 14th amendment insurrection clause, because of his attempts to overthrow the 2020 election. one of the sticking points in both cases is whether enforcement falls under the courts or under congress. once again, the u.s. president acting as consoler in chief. just ahead, we will have more on joe buys solemn visit to the u.s. mass shooting. we'll be right back. club on friday, president biden and the first lady were in lewiston, maine, meeting with the families of last week's mass shooting victims. a gunman opened fire at a bowling alley and a restaurant, killing 18 people before he was found dead from an apparently self-inflicted gunshot wound. cnn with more. >> reporter: even though it has been more than a week since the students, the pain is still very raw for so many in this community, that was the climate that president biden was visiting in over the course of friday. he met with first responders, nurses, others that were on the front lines and responding to the pair of shootings that it could happen a little bit more than a week ago now. you can't go far in this lewiston community, and the surrounding areas, without seeing signs of support, even just hide me where i am outside the bowling alley, which is the first site where the mass shootings happened that night. we got signs of support saying lewiston strong, saying things simply like be nice, acknowledging the climate and the pain that so many are going through still even at this point. 18 people killed, total, in the shootings, and their families are as still trying to figure out how to process. president biden, along with meeting with first responders, he also met with members of some of the victims families he also took some moments to make some remarks about his visit. take a listen to some of what he said in regards to the political climate around some of these mass shootings. >> i know consensus is only possible, this is about common sense, reasonable, responsible measures to protect our children , our families, our communities, because regardless of our politics, this is about protecting our freedom, to go to a bowling alley, a restaurant , a school, a church without being shot and killed. >> another thing the president talked about is how he had to make too many of these visits before, including in places like buffalo and uvalde and of course now here in lewiston, maine. one thing we heard from a community member ahead of his visit about whether they wanted him to be here, they said they were glad that he was here because it showed that the highest levels of the u.s. government cared about what happened here in lewiston. another thing that my crew and i have heard overwhelmingly, even in the hours after the shooting actually happened, little over a week ago, at this point, is that they couldn't believe something like this happened here in maine. and i say that because when you look at their yearly homicides across the state, that number is comparable to the amount of people that were lost in a single night in this community. that gives you an idea of the shock, but also the amount that they are actually having to process over what happened, again, just a matter of minutes at two separate locations, the bowling alley and just a few miles from the at that bar and restaurant. every indication we have seen has shown that they have banded together in the face of this adversity and they are going to try and move forward stronger together, that is why you can't go far in this community without seeing symbols like the state of maine and a heart over where we are in lewiston, to represent the love and the strength they will have for each other moving forward. mark mns, cnn, lewiston, maine. the white house is warning it is running out of money for ukraine and it needs lawmakers to act. the u.s. announced more than $400 million in military aid on friday, which didn't require congressional approval but that money is almost dried up. and president joe biden is asking congress to approve another $100 billion, which includes money for both ukraine and israel however, the house has passed a separate bill that funds only israel, house speaker, republican mike johnson, due to
