good morning, everyone, and welcome to "cnn this morning." it is sunday, november 5. i'm amara walker. >> i'm victor blackwell. thank you for joining us. new developments out of the middle east. secretary of state antony blinken just wrapped up an unannounced visit to ramallah as violence escalates in the west bank. details on his meeting with palestinian president mahmoud abbas and what we're learning about another explosion near a refugee camp. donald trump's feud with ron desantis takes center stage, literally, as the former president parades husband new supporters on stage at a republican gathering in florida. we'll tell you ron desantis' response and why chris christie was booed on the stage. trump will spend monday in a new york courtroom. he is scheduled to several in the civil fraud trial against his company. what we heard from his kids on t"the stand" and the role they played in that company. in the west bank, secretary of state antony blinken has met with the palestinian authority president. this is blinken's first visit since hamas attacked on october 7th. this comes as the u.s. grapples with the growing crisis in gaza. >> israel defense forces tolled them to leave northern gaza of the idf opened a safe road for people to leave gaza city and move south. but the offer of safe passage is only good for four hours. and this is coming as israel intensifies attacks on northern gaza. one of the refugee camps just south of the line where palestinians have been told to go was hit by a deadly explosion several hours ago. you can see the aftermath there. a palestinian hospital officials say, more than 30 were killed in the blast and more than 100 injured. the israeli military has not commented on whether it targeted the area. overnight, the palestinian red crescent says there were heavy executions near the al quds hospital in gaza. it's said the building had been destroyed and there were casualties and deaths. >> ed lavandera is live in tel aviv. ed, start with priscilla alvarez, though, who has the lace exist on blinken's visit to the west bank. comes at a critical time. >> reporter: it does, victor. a time, too, of escalating violence in the west bank which has been an area of concern for the white house. now, according to a readout from the state department, the two discussed, quote, efforts to restore calm and stability in the west bank, including the need to stop extremist violence against palestinians and hold those accountable responsible. now, this is one stop in the shuttle diplomacy that secretary of state antony blinken has been engaged in in the region. yesterday, he met with arab leaders at a summit hosted by the jordanian foreign minister. they discussed a range of issues, including humanitarian assistance to gaza. the release of hostages to that point. the secretary of state thanking qatar for their assistance in those negotiations of which they played a critical part, and keeping the conflict from spreading. a key sticking point that came up in the meetings and has come up domestically is a ceasefire. arab leaders called for an immediate ceasefire and the secretary of state doubling down on the u.s. opposition to that, stressing instead humanitarian pauses to allow for aid into gaza and that a ceasefire would allow hamas to regroup and potentially launch another attack against israel. now, just yesterday we saw president biden here at rehoboth beach. he can was asked if there had been any progress on a humanitarian pause to which he simply answered yesterday. he has been briefed by the national security team and that includes secretary of state antony blinken. so all of this continuing to unfold and going as the secretary of state continues that shuttle diplomacy in the region. >> now to ed in tel aviv. we have also seen more intense attacks across gaza. what is the latest there? >> reporter: another ex krushchev rating night you have warfare inside of gaza. last night several explosions, several rockets fired towards israel from gaza and firefighting continuing in there. last night there was a strike at the refugee camp where a doctor tells us, tells cnn, there were 30 -- they counted at least 33 victims killed in that strike. he believes it was an israeli airstrike. the israeli defense force has not commented on this particular strike, so we don't have confirmation from them. but the doctor believes it was an israeli airstrike. the video is just absolutely brutal to watch as they brought the victims' bodies inside of the hospital. several bodies of young children and women as well were brought into this hospital and this is significant because this particular strike happened south of the line where israeli military officials have been urging gaza residents to evacuate towards. are and then this morning here in israel, in gaza, another strike at a building across the street from a hospital. we are told by the palestinian red crescent society that at least 21 people were injured. this happening across the street from a hospital. israeli military officials say that hamas military fighters have been using hospitals as covers in the areas around hospitals as cover for them to carry out their military operations. but officials there saying that rescue teams have had a difficult time moving around and being able to respond because of the heavy fire and blasts that have been occurring in that area. so very tense hours in the last 12 to 15 hours that we've seen unfold inside of gaza today and last night. >> all right. ed lavandera, priscilla alvarez, thank you both. there were huge crowds protesting in capital cities around the world to call for a ceasefire saturday. demonstrations in berlin and paris and london. protesters you see waved palestinian flags. they expressed their anger at their governments for supporting israel. while the palestinian death toll reaches almost 10,000. >> wow, and in washington thousands of protesters marched to the white house carrying signs that said "stop the massacre "e "and" let gaza live." many say it could be a serious political issue for the president if he doesn't call for a ceasefire. right now he is calling for a humanitarian pause. in london with more. elliot, are we expecting more protests today? >> reporter: we are. they may not be on the same scale as we saw over the weekend or on saturday. we are expecting more protests outside u.s. built pace in southern turkey, mexico city, athens as well. also a concert planned in athens along with some of the families of hostages. some of the 240 or so hostages, men, women, children, babies being still held by hamas inside the gaza strip. from israel's perspective, benjamin netanyahu saws there will be no ceasefire as long adds the hostages remain inside the gaza strip with hamas. now, at the same time, we are seeing attempts brokered by secretary of state antony blinken and others to try to get more humanitarian aide into the gaza strip and also to get a kind of humanitarian pause and we seem to have a kind of humanitarian pause right now, for want of a better description, in terms of this four-hour window that the israel defense forces says is in effect. another an hour to go for this window to enable civilians in the northern part of the gaza strip to move south. and what the idf is saying, they say if you care about yourself and your loved ones, head south according to our instructions. there are connectivity and power issues for the civilians in the gaza strip to enable them to receive such messages. the idf says it has various ways of reaching out to civilians. clearly, there is concern if they go on the move, they could still be -- that they wouldn't be definitively out of danger. for now this kind of humanitarian corridor has been opened. there is another hour for it to go. and as i say, israel will be doing so not just in order to minimize the number of civilian casualties, but i think doing so also at least shows perhaps to the u.s. administration in particular that it is getting something out of its support for israel in its war with hamas. >> thank you very much. joining me now is cnn military analyst colonel cedric leighton. colonel, thank you for your time this morning. first off, i want to get your reaction to secretary of state antony blinken in ramallah. he with was just there meeting with mahmoud abbas, the palestinian authorities president. what does that tell you, especially that he is engaging once again in shuttle diplomacy. weighs at the summit saturday meeting with the foreign ministers of egypt and qatar and jordan. what do you make of of this? >> yeah, good morning, amara. well, i think what secretary blinken is doing is trying to shore up support among the palestinian authority as well as the arab nations for a two-state solution. he would like the palestinian authority also to take over the administration of gaza once israel achieves its goals of destroying hamas. whether or not israel can achieve the goals is, of course, another matter. i think the goal of the secretary of state is very much to get the palestinian authority represented by mahmoud abbas in on his side and make that work for him from a political standpoint. >> what are your thoughts on this four-hour window for this safe corridor? that window is about to close at 2:00 p.m. local time. it's a little after 1:00 there. and elia brought up these issues. how do you get the messages to the civilians dealing with power outages and internet outages in gaza, and let's say they do get the message. of course, resources is a huge problem, right, because no fuel, as we heard from the u.s. special envoy, david satterfield, no new fuel has gone into gaza since the war began. how helpful do you think this safe corridor that idf is opening will be for the civilians to move south? >> i think it's too short a time period. four hours is not enough time to get people out, especially those that have special needs or are in, you know, in a place where they can't really get transportation. so far, to my knowledge at least, we have not seen a stream of refugees on foot marching down, you know, the highway there. so elliot is right. if you don't have any internet connectivity, if you don't have power, there is a risk that you might not get that message. the israelis have in the past distributed flyers. they air dropped flyers into the palestinian areas to get them that kind of a message. whether or not they did that in this case, i'm not sure. but they are definitely -- the israelis are definitely trying several ways to get the message to them. the problem that they have is it's not coordinated with other aspects of their military operation or doesn't seem to be, at least. >> you know, there is a lot of aid still at the border that needs to get in. of course, we are still talking about hostages that the u.s. and israel are quite involved in trying to get released. but there is also what seems to be a public split that's forming between the u.s. and israel. that how you see it? because you have netanyahu who is saying there will not be any kind of ceasefire or a pause until all hostages are released. but then you also have the secretary of state blinken publicly stating there needs to be a humanitarian pause. >> yeah, the secretary of state is trying to very much bridge the gap between the dezur for a complete ceasefire and israel's public stance at least on the issue of either a ceasefire or humanitarian pause. in fact, they are doing some humanitarian pauses like the one that's in existence right now, but the fact of the matter is that israel has its war aims and it believes it can't be seen to be deviating from them, and they think this kind of a humanitarian pause may be a slight deviation or a large deviation in their minds, perhaps r from their war aims. so the secretary has a bit of a problem here in the effort to kind of bridge that that gap. it's a difficult needle to thread in this case. >> what is your sense of what is happening on the ground? last we heard friday is that israel encircled gaza city. what happens next? >> yeah, so i'm not sure that the encirclement has been completed but may have been by this time. you know, the encirclement is designed to besiege or starve out the hamas fighters. when they do that and we see the map of gaza right there, gaza city in particular, that's in the center of the gaza strip. and the idea there is not only to encircle that area, but also to make it possible for israeli ground forces to enter a certain zone within that city and then be able to go in and, in essence, clear that zone. that's going to be difficult for the israelis to do. i think that might be the next step, but they have to watch the tunnels, they are going to have to make sure that they don't get ambushed and, you know, also watch for improvised explosive devices. so those are the kinds of challenges that they have right now. >> yeah, a lot of risks going in there on the ground. colonel leighton, appreciate it. thank you. 2024 republicans exchange some jabs at a summit of florida voters. okay, so most of the candidates focused on one another. one turned on the crowd. the gop frontrunner will be back in court this week. what we should expect from former president trump whoe makes -- or takes the stand in his $250 million civil fraud trial. former president trume near the latter part of the day at the florida freedom summit. his presence still loomed large as presidential candidates traded jabs on stage. former new jersey governor chris christie, he actually battled the audience. watch this. >> what a shock, you're for trump. i'm going to fall over dead. the problem is you fear the truth. >> i acan say there is a significantly likelihood that donald trump will be found guilty by a jury on a felony offense next year. >> a lot of boos there for those candidates who took aim at trump. last night's summit is just a preview of what could happen later in the week at the gop debate. here is cnn's alayna treene with the recap. >> reporter: well, the former president trump and florida governor ron desantis have been battling for the lion's share of support as well as donors in their own backyard. we saw that take center stage in florida this weekend. really the summit was an opportunity for many of the leading republican primary candidates to make their case to florida voters for why they should be the republican nominee. that was especially important for ron desantis, the highest ranking official in the state. but all of them were really overshadowed by the enthusiastic support from the audience for donald trump. we heard many of the audience members say that really they are still very much excited about donald trump, that they want him to be the candidate on the ballot, and we really saw that play out during the event on saturday. now, ron desantis did receive a warm reception when he delivered remarks. he touted his agenda here in florida and he also made some veiled jabs at donald trump, but did not name him directly. but later that evening, when donald trump took the stage, then he was -- the venue was packed and went after desantis directly. and that did receive some cheers from the audience. let's take a listen. >> and i said, let's hit him hard, right now. my people said, sir, don't hit him. he is a republican. i said, i don't care if he is a republican. and we hit him hard and now he is like a wounded falling bird from the sky. >> now, donald trump went into the event this weekend with the upper hand. he had received a fresh round of endorsements on saturday and many of whom had defected from ron desantis and changed their support to donald trump. many of the speakers on saturday were also people had endorsed donald trump. people like senator rick scott, the former florida governor, who recently endorsed him last thursday, as well as congressman matt gaetz and byron donalds. back to you. >> thank you. let's now talk to ka dia ba, a political reporter. good morning to you. let's start with the endorsements. now, typically endorsements, we don't know if they really move votes, but this stream of endorsers from desantis to trump, is there any evidence that this is changing minds there in florida, especially? >> well, i think it's interesting that he brought the people the endorsements that flipped on to the stage. so, yeah, i think he -- that was an attempt to show the voters that, you know, i know this guy's your governor, but, look, the delegation at large has been, you know, supporting me. and i think it's most interesting to see chris christie and the attacks are going back and forth to the crowd because this is another indication that the republican party is changing, that so-called appetite for, i'd say, traditional republican is fading, and that trump is the leader of the party. >> yeah, i mean, we saw chris christie and asa hutchinson, who are both very critical of trump, take different approaches. governor hutchinson delivered his remarks from the prompter, third person in which he talked about him. christie said you, crowd, are denying reality. oh, of course, you are going to boo me. if you go to florida, you expect it will be a big trump crowd, desantis crowd as well. to what end for chris christie is he doing this, has been the question. is in the race just to criticize and needle the former president and call him out, or is this to get to the nomination? >> to me, outside looking in, looks like it just -- he is clearly punctuating that the party has changed. even more so is there an appetite -- more less, is there an apsite for someone, you know, who doesn't support trump. there is definitely less of an appetite for people who criticize trump. as you mentioned, chris christie and asa hutchinson have been probably the most vocal in criticizing trump. the base is just not interested in that. >> before we switch to the democrats, the third gop primary debate is coming up this week. former president trump again will not be on the stage. what will you be looking for here? it appears that ambassador haley is on the ascendancy, if you look at some of the early state polls. >> yeah, not only will trump not be on the stage, but he will be trolling desantis with a rally at -- in florida. but, i mean, listen, i think this is the first debate during the middle east crisis right now, and it will be interesting to see -- what i'm looking at, nikki haley, how she performance. she is probably the -- i'd say the most versed in foreign policy. so i'll be looking to hear what she says, how she commands the stage with her expertise from the united nations. and it's probably an opportunity for her to push forward. >> all right. let's look at the democrats now. address man dean phillips a week into his campaign. the latest poll from quinnipiac shows that he is at 6%. the president, president biden, at 77%. what has this first week been like for dean phillips? he said if he is not viable by march 5, he is out of the race. yes, it's early. what are we seeing so far? >> yeah, it hasn't been easy for dean phillips. a lot of his congressional colleagues whisper they don't support this run. and frankly they have been public about that. he also had some contentious conversations with voters in new hampshire. i think it also proves that him running on this, you know, age campaign that biden is too cold to run isn't enough to crack voters or to garner more support. >> yeah. the muslim and arab americans who supported president biden in 2020, many of them are disappointed with his handling of the israel/hamas war. a lot of them, according to a poll from the arab american institute, are saying that they will -- they have rejected him for 2024, moving towards being independent, a small percentage saying they will support republicans. how is this resonating in the white house? do you see any plan to try to keep them in the fold? what has been the reaction? >> i think the white house is very sensitive to what's going on. i don't have specific reporting what they are doing. but i think it's a fine line that the white house has to, you know, walk, essentially, their support for israel and also, you know, empathy for palestinians who, you know, are, you know, going through a sort of an interesting time or a sad time right now. so it's going to be something -- it's a year out. i think this is partially dependent on how long this war lasts. yeah, this is something that democrats are going to have to deal with. >> yeah, the reaction to that humanitarian crisis in gaza, if these numbers hold in michigan and pennsylvania specifically, considering the size of the muslim arab communities there, this could be really problematic for president biden. thank you. and watch state of the union this morning. lindsey graham, richard blumenthal and bernie sanders at 9:00 eastern on cnn. former president trump is set to take the stand in his $250 million civil fraud trial. what we can expect from his testimony. first, the top ten cnn heroes of 2023 have been announced. one will be named cnn hero of the year by you, our viewers. we are going to introduce each of our top then as you vote for your favorite in the next five weeks. 22-year-old search pierce, an olympic hopeful in 2009 when a life altering accident left him with a traumatic brain injury, ending his snowboarding career. >> his older brother stayed by his side through recovery, helping him relearn to walk and talk, but it wasn't until they discovered the power of yoga that adam watched his brother come back to life. today adam brings yoga to other tbi survivors and created a community of transformative healing. >> i think people feel isolated after brain injury because they don't feel able. >> it's hard. i have lost my identity. >> and when we allow people to be vulnerable and who they are, there is a deep connection for them because there is so much common understanding of the challenges that go on with brain injury. ♪ >> the changes i see most after people with tbi practice yoga are probably a deeper connection to self. helping them cultivate greater awareness and self-compassion allows them to meet the constant changes, so much more. >> adam has helped more than 35,000 people living with a tbi and their caregivers. to go to cnnheroes.com, go there now to vote for him for cnn hero of the year or any of your favorite top ten heroes. you can vote for any of them or all of them ten times a day every day. nice footwork. man, you're lucky, watching live sports never used to be this easy. now you can stream all your games like it's nothing. yes!

show "the apprentice." >> i think that all three trump kids saw what their dad was doing even before "the apprentice." his ability to manipulate the media is really unrivaled. >> reporter: this week his eldest sons struck defiant tones on the courthouse steps after testifying in a civil fraud case brought against it the trump organization by new york attorney general letitia james. >> brought forth the case that is purely a political persecution. >> we haven't done a damn thing run. they drag us into it. >> reporter: trump's son and their father are accused of inflating donald trump's personal wealth and values of his properties to get favorable loans and insurance policies. they deny wrongdoing. the brothers saying they were not involved in the financial statements. >> before even having a day in court, i am apparently guilty of fraud for relying on my accountant to do, wait for it, accounting. >> reporter: what's at stake for the trump family business if they lose this case? >> they are facing a quasi corporate death penalty, the trumps and the trump businesses, if they lose this case. that's because the judge has already said i'm going to pull your certificates to do business in new york. >> reporter: analyst norm eisensays that's not all they stand to lose if it doesn't go their way. they could face fines in the hundreds of millions of dollars and the judge could rule that the trumps aren't allowed to take out loans or engage in certain real estate transactions possibly for many years. brian todd, cnn, washington. >> thank you for that. coming up, a

howard has more. >> reporter: the takeaway here is that a survey of middle school and high-schoolers this year shows 10% of them reported they currently use tobacco products, and that is a decline from last year, when the proportion was about 14%. even though there was a steady decline in tobacco use, officially vaping and e-cigarettes. e-cigarettes were still the most popular tobacco product among kids. here's what one fda official had to say. >> 2.8 million kids used tobacco products in the past year and 2.1 million of those were e-cigarette users. it's the most popular, and that has been the case since 2014. but the good news, we are seeing that decline among high school students, which is meaningful. >> among these students who currently use e-cigarettes, about a quarter of them, 25.2%, said they use them daily and about 89% prefer flavored products. now, e-cigarettes were the most used tobacco product this year followed by traditional cigarettes, then a very small share

good morning, everyone, and welcome to "cnn this morning." it is sunday, november 5. i'm amara walker. >> i'm victor blackwell. thank you for joining us. new developments out of the middle east. secretary of state antony blinken just wrapped up an unannounced visit to ramallah as violence escalates in the west bank. details on his meeting with palestinian president mahmoud abbas and what we're learning about another explosion near a refugee camp. donald trump's feud with ron desantis takes center stage, literally, as the former president parades husband new supporters on stage at a republican gathering in florida. we'll tell you ron desantis' response and why chris christie was booed on the stage. trump will spend monday in a new york courtroom. he is scheduled to several in the civil fraud trial against his company. what we heard from his kids on t"the stand" and the role they played in that company. in the west bank, secretary of state antony blinken has met with the palestinian authority president. this is blinken's first visit since hamas attacked on october 7th. this comes as the u.s. grapples with the growing crisis in gaza. >> israel defense forces tolled them to leave northern gaza of the idf opened a safe road for people to leave gaza city and move south. but the offer of safe passage is only good for four hours. and this is coming as israel intensifies attacks on northern gaza. one of the refugee camps just south of the line where palestinians have been told to go was hit by a deadly explosion several hours ago. you can see the aftermath there. a palestinian hospital officials say, more than 30 were killed in the blast and more than 100 injured. the israeli military has not commented on whether it targeted the area. overnight, the palestinian red crescent says there were heavy executions near the al quds hospital in gaza. it's said the building had been destroyed and there were casualties and deaths. >> ed lavandera is live in tel aviv. ed, start with priscilla alvarez, though, who has the lace exist on blinken's visit to the west bank. comes at a critical time. >> reporter: it does, victor. a time, too, of escalating violence in the west bank which has been an area of concern for the white house. now, according to a readout from the state department, the two discussed, quote, efforts to restore calm and stability in the west bank, including the need to stop extremist violence against palestinians and hold those accountable responsible. now, this is one stop in the shuttle diplomacy that secretary of state antony blinken has been engaged in in the region. yesterday, he met with arab leaders at a summit hosted by the jordanian foreign minister. they discussed a range of issues, including humanitarian assistance to gaza. the release of hostages to that point. the secretary of state thanking qatar for their assistance in those negotiations of which they played a critical part, and keeping the conflict from spreading. a key sticking point that came up in the meetings and has come up domestically is a ceasefire. arab leaders called for an immediate ceasefire and the secretary of state doubling down on the u.s. opposition to that, stressing instead humanitarian pauses to allow for aid into gaza and that a ceasefire would allow hamas to regroup and potentially launch another attack against israel. now, just yesterday we saw president biden here at rehoboth beach. he can was asked if there had been any progress on a humanitarian pause to which he simply answered yesterday. he has been briefed by the national security team and that includes secretary of state antony blinken. so all of this continuing to unfold and going as the secretary of state continues that shuttle diplomacy in the region. >> now to ed in tel aviv. we have also seen more intense attacks across gaza. what is the latest there? >> reporter: another ex krushchev rating night you have warfare inside of gaza. last night several explosions, several rockets fired towards israel from gaza and firefighting continuing in there. last night there was a strike at the refugee camp where a doctor tells us, tells cnn, there were 30 -- they counted at least 33 victims killed in that strike. he believes it was an israeli airstrike. the israeli defense force has not commented on this particular strike, so we don't have confirmation from them. but the doctor believes it was an israeli airstrike. the video is just absolutely brutal to watch as they brought the victims' bodies inside of the hospital. several bodies of young children and women as well were brought into this hospital and this is significant because this particular strike happened south of the line where israeli military officials have been urging gaza residents to evacuate towards. are and then this morning here in israel, in gaza, another strike at a building across the street from a hospital. we are told by the palestinian red crescent society that at least 21 people were injured. this happening across the street from a hospital. israeli military officials say that hamas military fighters have been using hospitals as covers in the areas around hospitals as cover for them to carry out their military operations. but officials there saying that rescue teams have had a difficult time moving around and being able to respond because of the heavy fire and blasts that have been occurring in that area. so very tense hours in the last 12 to 15 hours that we've seen unfold inside of gaza today and last night. >> all right. ed lavandera, priscilla alvarez, thank you both. there were huge crowds protesting in capital cities around the world to call for a ceasefire saturday. demonstrations in berlin and paris and london. protesters you see waved palestinian flags. they expressed their anger at their governments for supporting israel. while the palestinian death toll reaches almost 10,000. >> wow, and in washington thousands of protesters marched to the white house carrying signs that said "stop the massacre "e "and" let gaza live." many say it could be a serious political issue for the president if he doesn't call for a ceasefire. right now he is calling for a humanitarian pause. in london with more. elliot, are we expecting more protests today? >> reporter: we are. they may not be on the same scale as we saw over the weekend or on saturday. we are expecting more protests outside u.s. built pace in southern turkey, mexico city, athens as well. also a concert planned in athens along with some of the families of hostages. some of the 240 or so hostages, men, women, children, babies being still held by hamas inside the gaza strip. from israel's perspective, benjamin netanyahu saws there will be no ceasefire as long adds the hostages remain inside the gaza strip with hamas. now, at the same time, we are seeing attempts brokered by secretary of state antony blinken and others to try to get more humanitarian aide into the gaza strip and also to get a kind of humanitarian pause and we seem to have a kind of humanitarian pause right now, for want of a better description, in terms of this four-hour window that the israel defense forces says is in effect. another an hour to go for this window to enable civilians in the northern part of the gaza strip to move south. and what the idf is saying, they say if you care about yourself and your loved ones, head south according to our instructions. there are connectivity and power issues for the civilians in the gaza strip to enable them to receive such messages. the idf says it has various ways of reaching out to civilians. clearly, there is concern if they go on the move, they could still be -- that they wouldn't be definitively out of danger. for now this kind of humanitarian corridor has been opened. there is another hour for it to go. and as i say, israel will be doing so not just in order to minimize the number of civilian casualties, but i think doing so also at least shows perhaps to the u.s. administration in particular that it is getting something out of its support for israel in its war with hamas. >> thank you very much. joining me now is cnn military analyst colonel cedric leighton. colonel, thank you for your time this morning. first off, i want to get your reaction to secretary of state antony blinken in ramallah. he with was just there meeting with mahmoud abbas, the palestinian authorities president. what does that tell you, especially that he is engaging once again in shuttle diplomacy. weighs at the summit saturday meeting with the foreign ministers of egypt and qatar and jordan. what do you make of of this? >> yeah, good morning, amara. well, i think what secretary blinken is doing is trying to shore up support among the palestinian authority as well as the arab nations for a two-state solution. he would like the palestinian authority also to take over the administration of gaza once israel achieves its goals of destroying hamas. whether or not israel can achieve the goals is, of course, another matter. i think the goal of the secretary of state is very much to get the palestinian authority represented by mahmoud abbas in on his side and make that work for him from a political standpoint. >> what are your thoughts on this four-hour window for this safe corridor? that window is about to close at 2:00 p.m. local time. it's a little after 1:00 there. and elia brought up these issues. how do you get the messages to the civilians dealing with power outages and internet outages in gaza, and let's say they do get the message. of course, resources is a huge problem, right, because no fuel, as we heard from the u.s. special envoy, david satterfield, no new fuel has gone into gaza since the war began. how helpful do you think this safe corridor that idf is opening will be for the civilians to move south? >> i think it's too short a time period. four hours is not enough time to get people out, especially those that have special needs or are in, you know, in a place where they can't really get transportation. so far, to my knowledge at least, we have not seen a stream of refugees on foot marching down, you know, the highway there. so elliot is right. if you don't have any internet connectivity, if you don't have power, there is a risk that you might not get that message. the israelis have in the past distributed flyers. they air dropped flyers into the palestinian areas to get them that kind of a message. whether or not they did that in this case, i'm not sure. but they are definitely -- the israelis are definitely trying several ways to get the message to them. the problem that they have is it's not coordinated with other aspects of their military operation or doesn't seem to be, at least. >> you know, there is a lot of aid still at the border that needs to get in. of course, we are still talking about hostages that the u.s. and israel are quite involved in trying to get released. but there is also what seems to be a public split that's forming between the u.s. and israel. that how you see it? because you have netanyahu who is saying there will not be any kind of ceasefire or a pause until all hostages are released. but then you also have the secretary of state blinken publicly stating there needs to be a humanitarian pause. >> yeah, the secretary of state is trying to very much bridge the gap between the dezur for a complete ceasefire and israel's public stance at least on the issue of either a ceasefire or humanitarian pause. in fact, they are doing some humanitarian pauses like the one that's in existence right now, but the fact of the matter is that israel has its war aims and it believes it can't be seen to be deviating from them, and they think this kind of a humanitarian pause may be a slight deviation or a large deviation in their minds, perhaps r from their war aims. so the secretary has a bit of a problem here in the effort to kind of bridge that that gap. it's a difficult needle to thread in this case. >> what is your sense of what is happening on the ground? last we heard friday is that israel encircled gaza city. what happens next? >> yeah, so i'm not sure that the encirclement has been completed but may have been by this time. you know, the encirclement is designed to besiege or starve out the hamas fighters. when they do that and we see the map of gaza right there, gaza city in particular, that's in the center of the gaza strip. and the idea there is not only to encircle that area, but also to make it possible for israeli ground forces to enter a certain zone within that city and then be able to go in and, in essence, clear that zone. that's going to be difficult for the israelis to do. i think that might be the next step, but they have to watch the tunnels, they are going to have to make sure that they don't get ambushed and, you know, also watch for improvised explosive devices. so those are the kinds of challenges that they have right now. >> yeah, a lot of risks going in there on the ground. colonel leighton, appreciate it. thank you. 2024 republicans exchange some jabs at a summit of florida voters. okay, so most of the candidates focused on one another. one turned on the crowd. the gop frontrunner will be back in court this week. what we should expect from former president trump whoe makes -- or takes the stand in his $250 million civil fraud trial. former president trume near the latter part of the day at the florida freedom summit. his presence still loomed large as presidential candidates traded jabs on stage. former new jersey governor chris christie, he actually battled the audience. watch this. >> what a shock, you're for trump. i'm going to fall over dead. the problem is you fear the truth. >> i acan say there is a significantly likelihood that donald trump will be found guilty by a jury on a felony offense next year. >> a lot of boos there for those candidates who took aim at trump. last night's summit is just a preview of what could happen later in the week at the gop debate. here is cnn's alayna treene with the recap. >> reporter: well, the former president trump and florida governor ron desantis have been battling for the lion's share of support as well as donors in their own backyard. we saw that take center stage in florida this weekend. really the summit was an opportunity for many of the leading republican primary candidates to make their case to florida voters for why they should be the republican nominee. that was especially important for ron desantis, the highest ranking official in the state. but all of them were really overshadowed by the enthusiastic support from the audience for donald trump. we heard many of the audience members say that really they are still very much excited about donald trump, that they want him to be the candidate on the ballot, and we really saw that play out during the event on saturday. now, ron desantis did receive a warm reception when he delivered remarks. he touted his agenda here in florida and he also made some veiled jabs at donald trump, but did not name him directly. but later that evening, when donald trump took the stage, then he was -- the venue was packed and went after desantis directly. and that did receive some cheers from the audience. let's take a listen. >> and i said, let's hit him hard, right now. my people said, sir, don't hit him. he is a republican. i said, i don't care if he is a republican. and we hit him hard and now he is like a wounded falling bird from the sky. >> now, donald trump went into the event this weekend with the upper hand. he had received a fresh round of endorsements on saturday and many of whom had defected from ron desantis and changed their support to donald trump. many of the speakers on saturday were also people had endorsed donald trump. people like senator rick scott, the former florida governor, who recently endorsed him last thursday, as well as congressman matt gaetz and byron donalds. back to you. >> thank you. let's now talk to ka dia ba, a political reporter. good morning to you. let's start with the endorsements. now, typically endorsements, we don't know if they really move votes, but this stream of endorsers from desantis to trump, is there any evidence that this is changing minds there in florida, especially? >> well, i think it's interesting that he brought the people the endorsements that flipped on to the stage. so, yeah, i think he -- that was an attempt to show the voters that, you know, i know this guy's your governor, but, look, the delegation at large has been, you know, supporting me. and i think it's most interesting to see chris christie and the attacks are going back and forth to the crowd because this is another indication that the republican party is changing, that so-called appetite for, i'd say, traditional republican is fading, and that trump is the leader of the party. >> yeah, i mean, we saw chris christie and asa hutchinson, who are both very critical of trump, take different approaches. governor hutchinson delivered his remarks from the prompter, third person in which he talked about him. christie said you, crowd, are denying reality. oh, of course, you are going to boo me. if you go to florida, you expect it will be a big trump crowd, desantis crowd as well. to what end for chris christie is he doing this, has been the question. is in the race just to criticize and needle the former president and call him out, or is this to get to the nomination? >> to me, outside looking in, looks like it just -- he is clearly punctuating that the party has changed. even more so is there an appetite -- more less, is there an apsite for someone, you know, who doesn't support trump. there is definitely less of an appetite for people who criticize trump. as you mentioned, chris christie and asa hutchinson have been probably the most vocal in criticizing trump. the base is just not interested in that. >> before we switch to the democrats, the third gop primary debate is coming up this week. former president trump again will not be on the stage. what will you be looking for here? it appears that ambassador haley is on the ascendancy, if you look at some of the early state polls. >> yeah, not only will trump not be on the stage, but he will be trolling desantis with a rally at -- in florida. but, i mean, listen, i think this is the first debate during the middle east crisis right now, and it will be interesting to see -- what i'm looking at, nikki haley, how she performance. she is probably the -- i'd say the most versed in foreign policy. so i'll be looking to hear what she says, how she commands the stage with her expertise from the united nations. and it's probably an opportunity for her to push forward. >> all right. let's look at the democrats now. address man dean phillips a week into his campaign. the latest poll from quinnipiac shows that he is at 6%. the president, president biden, at 77%. what has this first week been like for dean phillips? he said if he is not viable by march 5, he is out of the race. yes, it's early. what are we seeing so far? >> yeah, it hasn't been easy for dean phillips. a lot of his congressional colleagues whisper they don't support this run. and frankly they have been public about that. he also had some contentious conversations with voters in new hampshire. i think it also proves that him running on this, you know, age campaign that biden is too cold to run isn't enough to crack voters or to garner more support. >> yeah. the muslim and arab americans who supported president biden in 2020, many of them are disappointed with his handling of the israel/hamas war. a lot of them, according to a poll from the arab american institute, are saying that they will -- they have rejected him for 2024, moving towards being independent, a small percentage saying they will support republicans. how is this resonating in the white house? do you see any plan to try to keep them in the fold? what has been the reaction? >> i think the white house is very sensitive to what's going on. i don't have specific reporting what they are doing. but i think it's a fine line that the white house has to, you know, walk, essentially, their support for israel and also, you know, empathy for palestinians who, you know, are, you know, going through a sort of an interesting time or a sad time right now. so it's going to be something -- it's a year out. i think this is partially dependent on how long this war lasts. yeah, this is something that democrats are going to have to deal with. >> yeah, the reaction to that humanitarian crisis in gaza, if these numbers hold in michigan and pennsylvania specifically, considering the size of the muslim arab communities there, this could be really problematic for president biden. thank you. and watch state of the union this morning. lindsey graham, richard blumenthal and bernie sanders at 9:00 eastern on cnn. former president trump is set to take the stand in his $250 million civil fraud trial. what we can expect from his testimony. first, the top ten cnn heroes of 2023 have been announced. one will be named cnn hero of the year by you, our viewers. we are going to introduce each of our top then as you vote for your favorite in the next five weeks. 22-year-old search pierce, an olympic hopeful in 2009 when a life altering accident left him with a traumatic brain injury, ending his snowboarding career. >> his older brother stayed by his side through recovery, helping him relearn to walk and talk, but it wasn't until they discovered the power of yoga that adam watched his brother come back to life. today adam brings yoga to other tbi survivors and created a community of transformative healing. >> i think people feel isolated after brain injury because they don't feel able. >> it's hard. i have lost my identity. >> and when we allow people to be vulnerable and who they are, there is a deep connection for them because there is so much common understanding of the challenges that go on with brain injury. ♪ >> the changes i see most after people with tbi practice yoga are probably a deeper connection to self. helping them cultivate greater awareness and self-compassion allows them to meet the constant changes, so much more. >> adam has helped more than 35,000 people living with a tbi and their caregivers. to go to cnnheroes.com, go there now to vote for him for cnn hero of the year or any of your favorite top ten heroes. you can vote for any of them or all of them ten times a day every day. nice footwork. man, you're lucky, watching live sports never used to be this easy. now you can stream all your games like it's nothing. yes! [ cheers ] yeah! woho! running up and down that field looks tough. it's a pitch. get way more into what you're into when you stream on the xfinity 10g network. tomorrow former president trump is set to testify in the $250 million civil fraud trial against the trump organization and several members of his family and executives. >> after testifying on friday, eric trump told reporters his father is fired up to be coming to new york and testifying. the trial has put a spotlight on the trump family's business dealings, including the role trump's children have played. cnn correspondent brian todd has more. >> great day. >> reporter: the trump family business and its legacy now facing what could be an existential test. eric trump, donald junior and ivanka trump with spent their lives working for the company. ivanka no longer worse for the company. eric trump oversaw the family's golf businesses before broadening his role to become the practical lead offer of the trump organization. both brothers saw their portfolios in the trump organization grow when their father was elected president and handed over the business to them. >> don and eric are going to be running the company. >> he trusts them more than he trusts anyone else and he respects them. and as donald said to me, he doesn't respect very many people, but he respects his children. >> reporter: all three of trump's eldest children have been effective managers of the trump brand but haven't been tested outside the family business. and he says they honed their marketing skills before their father's wildly popular reality show "the apprentice." >> i think that all three trump kids saw what their dad was doing even before "the apprentice." his ability to manipulate the media is really unrivaled. >> reporter: this week his eldest sons struck defiant tones on the courthouse steps after testifying in a civil fraud case brought against it the trump organization by new york attorney general letitia james. >> brought forth the case that is purely a political persecution. >> we haven't done a damn thing run. they drag us into it. >> reporter: trump's son and their father are accused of inflating donald trump's personal wealth and values of his properties to get favorable loans and insurance policies. they deny wrongdoing. the brothers saying they were not involved in the financial statements. >> before even having a day in court, i am apparently guilty of fraud for relying on my accountant to do, wait for it, accounting. >> reporter: what's at stake for the trump family business if they lose this case? >> they are facing a quasi corporate death penalty, the trumps and the trump businesses, if they lose this case. that's because the judge has already said i'm going to pull your certificates to do business in new york. >> reporter: analyst norm eisensays that's not all they stand to lose if it doesn't go their way. they could face fines in the hundreds of millions of dollars and the judge could rule that the trumps aren't allowed to take out loans or engage in certain real estate transactions possibly for many years. brian todd, cnn, washington. >> thank you for that. coming up, a palestinian family torn apart by the war between israel and hamas. they say they are mourning the loss of more than 40 relatives all reportedly killed in a single day. their story next. thousands of miles from the war in gaza, a palestinian american family is in mourning. >> it's been more than two weeks since they say 42 of their relatives, three generations, were killed by explosions in gaza city. and now the family's trying to comprehend what they've lost. cnn's isabelle rosales has the story. >> reporter: a crowd of neighbors and survivors working together to bury loved ones. wrapped in white burial shrouds, their bodies of carried and lined up inside a mass grave. they belong to one family. thousands of miles away in the u.s., family members across three states are united in grief. >> i'm still in this nightmare. i haven't woke up yet. >> reporter: in florida, he can't bear the unimaginable loss. >> my 'cuzzen. >> reporter: three generations gone in a single day. back-to-back airstrikes, the family says, in gaza killing 42 relatives. the youngest just 3 months old. abu tells cnn, a video shot by a neighbor shows charred ruins and rubble. that's left of the family compound. >> we have never seen in this day and age where the world is watching innocent people just being torn apart. whole families just wiped off the map. >> reporter: the family blames the deaths on israeli airstrikes. cnn cannot independently confirm that. israel has launched numerous airstrikes on gaza city since the terror attacks on october 7th, including multiple strikes in the area that day. the
