[bleep] you are such a baby. [bleep] [bleep] >> the jury was shown photographs of his face with what what he says was bruises and a cigarette burn that was caused by his ex-wife. and the actor claimed that he lost part of a finger as a result of an attack by her. >> she walked up and grabbed the bottle of vodka and then just, stood back and hurled it at me. and i looked down and i realized the tip of my finger had been severed. >> then they will tell the court her side of the story and the jury will have to decide which is acting in which is telling the truth. >> thank you so much, jonathan. okay, a giant defamation case and the justice department decision striking down the federal travel mask mandate. we have the washington times tis legal affairs attorney and former chief nomination counsel mike davis, and we welcome you both back. >> thank you for having me. >> thank you for having me. >> i would like to start with the mask mandate. here's what we found. the cdc says that it is a continuing assessment that at this time in order requiring the court or remains necessary for public health, they believe that this is a lawful order well within the cdc legal authority to protect the public health. so might come of the doj, the joe biden administration, is going to appeal to try to get that mask mandate reinstated. >> you know, i think it is a bad legal and political decision, as they pursue it here. a decision out of tampa is a very strong decision, ruling that the cdc did not have statutory authority to issue this mask mandate. and they did have the support of the judge with the administrative procedures act, what the cdc is going to do is get a bad ruling of the 11th circuit level and that is going to be part of it. i will note if this is so important to public health, why aren't they seeking an emergency state of the judges order. >> they are not asking for this, knowing this is supposed to expire in a few days anyway. here is what they said. >> the nation is struck with another significant wave, what do you make of the decision by the joe biden administration? >> i think it signals that they are looking to extend the mask mandate beyond the may 3 deadline. i also think that it does to mike's point, it comes on the same day that they wanted to remain in place and also the 11th circuit is a conservative court and beyond that the supreme court and they have been critical with the addictions moratorium. so i think they do have an uphill battle. >> you mentioned the judge, the critics have immediately said she's too young, unqualified and they are upset about the nationwide injunction, the things that makes this thrown out for the entire country. but it was very popular when trump was in office, dozens of them that i can remember. >> yes, so the judge on the court, she is now clicking on the link and individuals that oversee it. that includes the justice clarence thomas who oversees it as well. so if you read her opinion it is a brilliant opinion. it is very well reasoned and nationwide injunctions, that is what we currently have, like what was said. and so if they want to get rid of the nationwide injunctions, let's start doing that going forward in this case. >> potentially the supreme court, what they think about the decisions by the stretch in florida, i would like to turn to the trial today, we got a little bit with what we heard today in the courtroom. >> it could begin with a slap, a shove. it could begin with throwing the tv remote at my head, it could begin with throwing a glass of wine in my face. banging on the doors, screaming obscenities. wanting to have a physical altercation. >> so he was on the stand today, pointing the finger at her. but he kept it very calm, whether this is acting or coaching or just the way that he actually is. >> and of course she says she was the victim here. what we make of this hollywood trial? >> i agree with you, i think that he did a good job when being questioned by his attorney. i did wonder why they were not objecting more to relevancy when they were talking about her drug and alcohol use. and you know, it seems a little bit more like character assassination. i think we need to wait and see what evidence she doesn't bring. we have to remember in 2016 she was able to get a restraining order against him and at the same time the attorneys did have a little bit of this late this afternoon and i thought they did a relatively good job and they brought up that there was a an article prior to the op-ed suggesting this and that the captain was going to be diminished, captain sparrow, his character. which said it results in him losing that role. so we will have to see what tomorrow brings. >> yes, we will, we we are out of time. but we are having those there and we thank you very much. >> safety regulators in new mexico state have issued the maximum possible fine against a stone production company for firearms and safety failures on the set where a cinematographer was shot by the actor and producer alec baldwin last october. nearly $137,000 in fines came with safety failures in violation of standard industry protocol. and issuing a statement tonight is tran-nines that her family is going through deep healing after her husband hit chris rock. she says she will post more about the discoveries of the healing when the time calls for it. and a mother of two, her body was dumped in a duffel bag after being killed, the police believe she did believe to know her killer. we have the latest developments in this case tonight. >> shannon, there are reports that the killer left behind a pair of gloves soaked boots at the crime scene. still, investigators are still looking at the situation. >> outside the garage of this home in queens, is cooperating and turned over his cell phone. reportedly receiving a threatening text message the night she was brutally stabbed nearly 60 times, warning him in part that his whole family is next. the husband was reportedly looking at colleges when the family was at the home in queens. friends and neighbors are still in shock at this time. >> everyone is trying to piece together what is happening. how did this happen. why did this happen. >> also there are reports that police are investigating several people of interest. including a handyman who knew the home well and where the spare key was hidden. they are working to learn more about the person caught on surveillance footage the morning that her body was found, seeing here at dragging a rolling duffel back through the neighborhood. the mother of two found dead, roughly nine blocks from her home, leaving investigators back to the side door of her home. and the manager at the local bar says to the "new york post" that she came in late friday night, had her usual moscow mule, and left around 12:30 a.m. the hunt for her killer continues. shannon? >> shannon: thank you, laura ingram, for the update. let's review what we do and don't know about the case so far. talking about the information released by police so far, what it means to the investigation. we are joined by our washington dc homicide detective, ted. it's great to have you back. >> it's my pleasure, shannon. >> okay, making mention of this. they said they found it that she was stabbed 60 times nearly saturday. there was a handyman who said that he had a fling with her is being sought for questioning, but they have not publicly identified a suspect in the case. all right, and we are told that there are other things that led them back to the clues. does that suggest that this is not well-planned? that it happened in haste? >> well, shannon, i don't think it was well-planned. but i can tell you that when you stab someone 58 to 60 times, that is a rage killing. it is believed that the killer knew her and one of the questions is how does the killer get into the house. they already have access, did they follow her to the house and this is what it is believed that what happen was that she was killed shortly after returning from the club. the person dragged her in the duffel bag around 4:30 a.m. normally when somebody kill someone, they want to get away from the body right away, and you do not stay in the house for any amount of time like that before you leave with the duffel bag. >> it sounds led her son is in the house, that he was questioned and then allowed to go, although we are told this was down in the basement and where it happened. i want to talk about something from nancy grace. >> is critical, someone felt that they could murder this individual, that they could kill her, dismember her, stuff her in a hockey bag and this is an amateur. an amateur that was on foot that we find is very unusual. >> you mentioned that this person felt comfortable in the house, they point out all the different things that happen. does that suggest that there is potential evidence left behind for cops to work with? >> absolutely. i believe that there is a great deal of dna evidence there. you stab someone 58 or 60 times, creating wounds, there could have very well been a struggle and as a result of that, with dna evidence there, i think that they are also going to have to look at the cell phones because they need to retrace the steps before and after and they need to know who who she had been in contact with or shortly before this killing. so there is a great deal that they are looking at and they are also looking at videos, those in the neighborhood, we would have video cameras, they will also have to look at that. >> we thank you for sharing all your expertise. we will keep on track in this case. >> it is my pleasure. >> vladimir putin is saber rattling again with the russian test launch about an intercontinental but missile, saying that the missile will make those that try to threaten his country think twice. they say that it was launch from northern russia and hit designated targets on a peninsula. for more on what is happening, let's check in, matt has more in the city of lviv where it is early on thursday morning. >> hello, shannon. that's right. a dire situation in mariupol, getting worse. ukrainian marines, innocent women and children are caught off in a standoff. hiding under ground, the russians reportedly dropping bombs on them. ukrainian military commander was able to release a video begging for rescue, even asking president joe biden to rescue them, saying that this could be the last of their lives. >> there are also civilians who have fallen victim to the war. they appeal and plead to all world leaders to help us. >> this comes as russia is moving forward with the second major phase of the war. ukrainian president volodymyr zelensky calls at the battle of the donbas. saying russians now control 80% after a failed attempt to overthrow the capital city. including launching and aggressive investigations. >> modern technology allows us to clarify many details. every surname and home address and bank account. we will find everything. >> president joe biden is set to speak at 9:45 a.m. eastern time this morning. >> thank you so much from for reporting live from lviv. the russian and belarusian athletes are banned from competing in wimbledon this year. and coming up next, a german animal park decided to change the name of a wild boar. plus, this inflatable pool is for saving lives. we have this coming up next r proven weight management aid for adults with a bmi of 25-40 when combined with diet and exercise. plenity is not a drug - it's made from naturally derived building blocks and helps you feel fuller and eat less. it is a prescription only treatment and is not for pregnant women or people allergic to its ingredients. talk to your doctor or visit myplenity.com to learn more. >> first step in tonight's viral video. the easter bunny bringing joy to children. take a look at the reaction when this little girl was paid a visit. , waiting in line to see the easter bunny at a mall in victorville is where she was. a shoe store owner that was aiming at shoplifters is now facing multiple charges. thankfully she is enjoying easter time gifts and goodies. we will see how she does as she heals. and in hawaii. this video shows this cute little pup emerging towards each other there. eventually touching noses. an endangered species, only 1400 known to be alive worldwide. >> you don't have a driver's license?

>> 2 i tried to unless i look hideous and frightening. >> what about you? >> well, i never turn it on unless i have to or if i know that i will have to speak. but otherwise i am not usually turning on my camera. so that is just me. >> you and i are much more into text messaging. 2 we also like to play wordle. >> we have good news coming out. >> see you in a bit. 2 the joe biden administration set to turn away more than half of a illegal immigrants that turned up at the borders in the past six months. so how are they looking for a flood of migrants?
