Locking in a trial date in florida, a critical hearing is happening this morning in the classified documents case against donald trump. Trump is expected to be there. We are there too. So never in the history of recording us whether has 12 feet of snow ever fallen in just one to two days . That could happen this the weekend. Sara is out. Im john berman with kate baldwin. This is Cnn News Central cnn Breaking News and the Breaking News this morning, he was a true hero. I want to say to him, farewell. Youre looking at live pictures from outside the funeral of russian Opposition LeaderAlexey Navalny, thousands of mourners are risking their lives and their freedom to be present or even just near. This event. Crowds, as far as the eye can see, in some cases, the funeral were told just wrapped up, his body has been carried out of the moscow church. I believe we have pictures, a still photo of Alexey Navalnys body in died that church while a funeral will still happening, well show you that picture as soon as we can in this video, you can hear supporters chanting you heard them chanting. Navalny. Now there isnt extremely heavy in an, and an extremely noticeable Police Presence on the scene. Of course, navalny died in a Russian Prison Camp two weeks ago. His widow, yulia, says she is concerned that police are going to arrest people who have come to pay hey, their respects our Matthew Chance has been reporting from outside the Church The Signal was down now its back up again, matthew, im just going to turn it over to you. Tell us everything going on yeah. I mean, the signal has been very dodgy here. They put an umbrella blanket. It seems over the whole area and we couldnt get a signal out, but were here now and you can see the line of people stretches into the Desk Distance Thousands of russians have come out to pay their last respects to Alexey Navalny, even though youve just said that the funeral in the church, which is a short distance from here it is now over. You can see people are still coming along carrying flowers and messages to lay at the cascade are inside the church where Alexey Navalny has just been taken away from any of you guys speak english. You speak english you speak english. Hello. Hi. Hi. Hi. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Why have you come here today with so many other russians to pay or i guess its symbolic value for people who dont agree with everything thats happening in russia, right . I can be specific because we can say like a bird words, you know, its risky for you to be here. Yeah, its certainly a risk to why take because if thats my stance on fragrances, and i believe thats to show solidarity that you are not the one who is has to deal with this. All right. So thank you very much. Ive got ive got polina over here as well the fact that Alexey Navalny is dead. What does that United People here . What does it say about the state of the united . Some people but its the same time. Its quite, its obviously horrible says upsetting thats me. Obviously and other people here in this group, what i think its kind of uniting thing since a lot of people come, we came here to pay their last goodbyes. She was one. What does it say about your country, about russia . There obviously some people who are, i guess so against the whole thing. Thats happening right now, i can say the visit, but there are some people who have good hearts. Basically it thank you very much. Really appreciate it. Thank you. John. They have a lot of people here coming out theyre very careful about what they say because obviously it can be risky speaking your mind out publicly in this way. Remember, hundreds of russians who were simply putting flowers at makeshift memorials across the country over the past couple of weeks have been detained by the authorities. And so people know that theyre taking a risk here. But look, so many thousands of people have come out despite the very intense Security Operation thats been underway here, riot police have been put in place all along the route to cold people back. But at the moment, we havent seen any crack down yet by the authorities. The authorities are still allowing these thousands of people to file past, to go to this church, which is right right behind us. There and to pay their respects to russias most prominent opposition figure from here in the next few hours, the funeral will take place at a cemetery which is not not far from here. And so this parade, this procession will continue throughout the course of the day. We expect john matthew, we are lucky to have your signal up here, as we said, it was down for a period of time. So i want to take advantage of this moment because we just dont know how long its going to last there. These people were seeing streaming behind you, some of whom were extraordinarily willing to talk to you. How do they even know about this funeral . How is the information been getting out to the people around the country well, i despite the efforts of the authorities, the state media, not really talking much about whats being planned. I mean, people have the internet, people have vpns, they have the ability to sort of like access news in this Information Age that we live in, just, just like we do. And of course, the navalny team, that Navalny Campaign of very proficient at getting their message across to the millions of russians that click on their investigations and that listened intently, at least in private, to what they have to say. Now, theres obviously, all this kind of word that the Alexey Navalny wasnt that popular in russia. Thats the allegation that often comes from people who ruled the country. But look, you can see thats not necessarily the case. There are, again, let me spin around here just to get get get you a sense of how many people the line of people that are queuing up now, lining up to pay their last respects. Its neverending. I mean, it was hundreds this morning. Its turned into thousands, but its very difficult to judge because its just that the line of people is just not stopping at this time in russia as people come to lay flowers and messages at the Casket Inside The Church where Alexey Navalnys funeral has been taking place. Matthew chance, it is great to have you there. Thank you so much for the work that you and your team are doing, please stay safe. This stream of people has just been passing behind you this entire time. Youre talking that in of itself tells a story. Hopefully well get you back again soon. Kate, remarkable to see that we see it. I mean, look remarkable things happen on live tv all the time. This is extraordinary given the bravery that people would need to have not only to be in that procession but to stop and speak with Matthew Chance courage. They show to talk to him is extraordinary. It is. All right. Lets talk much more about this right now. Cnns chief international correspondent, clarissa ward, is joining me. Clarissa, i want to just so everyone can just talk about the image that is next to you right now on the wall. This is the image that has come mao to release from navalnys team of Alexei Navalnys open casket during the funeral today this morning. I mean, this is an image that the world should see. It needs to see. But just what you think of one these images coming out and to what we just saw all with Matthew Chance, the people who are willing to stop and talk i think its pretty incredible k that the kremlin has done absolutely everything in their power to try to play this down, to try to minimize it, to try to prevent it from escalating into some kind of demonstration. Of sorts. And that included, by the way, jamming signals. People were not able to well, our own Matthew Chance was not able to get his live shot up, but also the navalny team who had been Live Streaming from the church were not able to do that signals. Stop jamming when the Church Service was over and when Alexei Navalnys body was moved on to the cemetary. But you can see that extraordinary haunting image, frankly of his coffin covered in flowers and the mourners, his mother, you can see by the coffin on her knee hes People Holding those candles. And just that extraordinary stream of people that you just saw, matthew standing within pouring in hour upon hour, regardless of the risk, regardless of the riot police flanking all around the church. We also saw dignitaries attending the funeral, the Us Ambassador to russia, the uk ambassador to russia, one extraordinary image showed those two ambassadors standing before this wall of socalled oman are riot police. And you heard the chants of the crowds. Navalny. Navalny well, they were also chanting. We arent afraid because you were not afraid. Thats a sort of a play on his logan that Alexey Navalny himself used to say all the time yeah, you buy uci vga pages. Im not afraid and you should not be afraid. And i think today youre seeing some of that extraordinary courage of Alexey Navalny let me being carried on by the many supporters that he has, particularly in moscow, but in other urban areas and across the country. Even though the risk is so high now, even though dmitry peskov, who was president putin spokesperson, has said and warned against the dangers of quote, unauthorized memorials and yet still you see this stream of humanity coming out to pay homage and pay respect to an extraordinary man yeah, i mean, just received word also from navalnys team that his body has now arrived at the cemetary. This is, were going to be following this as this continues and continuing to bring to everyone these extraordinary images as youre talking about that are coming out as people default bryant in bravely and courageously coming out to pay their respects. And speaking up. And theres some button as much in the only way that they can right now in moscow to pay their respects to Alexey Navalny and what he means to them clarissa, thanks so much.

Trumps classified documents trial had been on the calendar for may, but this morning, special counsel, jack smiths team will ask to be good. In in july. Now, this is notable for any number of reasons, but one of them is the impact it could have on the federal january 6 trial. Does this box that out . Does smith think that the federal january 6 trial is now less likely to happen before election day anyway, cnns Kaitlan Polantz is live outside the federal courts in florida, where the maralago documents case is front and center and we could get a lot of new information today. Kaitlan we could were waiting to see how the judge reacts to these proposals here in florida for trial dates. Both sides, both the Justice Department and donald trump this team and his codefendants defense team, nobody thinks theyre ready to go to trial in may as they had been scheduled. So theyre going to be articulating that for the judge. Theres a lot of things that they still have to do. A lot of work to be done in this this case, jack smith, theyre pointing out july 8 as the date that they would like to go to trial. And then donald trump and another codefendant, carlos de oliveira, they want a date in august. Walt nauta, his political aide, the third codefendant. He wants a date to start in september. We will see where the judge comes down on this, but john, there is a real question here. If the judge schedules this federal criminal case against donald trump for the mishandling of classified documents. Here in Florida In July or august or september, does that mean . That there is almost no possibility for a january 6 federal criminal child to be held before the election. That is going to be a very big question for the other judge on your chutkan in washington dc, and well have to see how that plays out closer to the date, but its really going to be a Popcorn Situation this summer with trial dates. And when things will happen, how long they will take an even if there will be a trial in this case, trump has also pointed out in his filings that its a busy campaign season. Theres a lot of primaries and he would prefer not to be in trial during the election season. Kayla, polands is great to have you there explaining to us everything that will take place today. Well check back in with you shortly and we should note that coming this afternoon, the judge overseeing the Ge
