12:09 am
palestinians arrested inside gaza and brought to irltd for questioning. these men were blindfolded and barefoot. in the video can you see hands typed behind backs and wearing disposable white cover alls. it's important to keep in mind it was about 350 degrees fahrenheit and rainy when we filled this video and the men in this video seemed to be physically exhausted. you can see them swaying around their heads bobbing as they seemed to be falling asleep. one man was actually lying on the ground before an israeli soldier came over to roust him and prop him up. the israeli military set, quote. >> now, the israeli military also addressed the condition in
12:10 am
which we found these palestinian detainees. they said they were wearing these white cover alls because they had been stripped and searched to make sure they didn't have explosives or weapons on them and said they were about to be placed on a heated business and taken to a detention facility where they would be provided with actual clothing. now we weren't able to verify how long these men were sitting outside in the cold because an israeli soldier came to us and directed us once he saw we were film to go leave the place. now as it relates to the claim by israel these men are suspected of terrorist activity while there is the first time we have been able to directly document the detention of these palestinian men from gaza there's been a lot of footage circulating of palestinian men detained and many cases those men turn out to be civilians spotted bid their relatives or
12:11 am
their friends and in december we actually spoke with ten palestinian men and boys who had been detained by the israeli military, held for five days and ultimately released without charge. now these men and boys all of them had swollen wrists some bruises on wrists from having their hands tied behind their backs for five days. the israeli military maintains it treats all these detainees in accordance with international law. jeremy diamond cnn. >> president joe biden is taking shots at his former republican rifle former president donald trump mr. biden vowing to put tougher immigration rules in place as he tries to countertrumps attacks. he's also working to energize black voters in the state a group that helped him win the

2020 and it is going to have its program primary next week the first after the democratic national committee overhauled the schedule with president biden's support the president reflecting on that. while this is not a competitive primary it will be a test of his standing with black voters, a key constituency to clinch that win in november. priscilla álvarez cnn south carolina. >> also in south carolina is nikki haley mounting a month long stand against donald trump before the february primaries and her attacks on trump have escalated recently. the campaign is getting a boost by presume's legal battles and heavy vaimts from billionaire's like charles koch. >> only two state have voted there. are 48 more that have to vote.

>> ukranian officials say russian troops have gone on the offensive across much of the front line. they gave a blunt assessment of the battleground situation. they say russia is trying to extend gains in the northeast where it captured one village. further south the areas near bakhmut are under pressure. russia is trying to win back the
12:21 am
small territory that ukraine captured in a counteroffensive last year. ukraine has forced to play defense partly because the person military aid is drying up. it's stalled by political disputes in the u.s. and e.u. with reports ukranians are running short of ammunition just as russia's military goes into overdrive. >> artillery is key as ukranian forces try to hold off massive russian assaults on the eastern front but give ammo shortages getting worse. this provided u.n. weapon is often silent because they don't have enough shells to target. we cannot fulfill our task 100 percent though we want to, my crew and other crews are waiting for it and are ready to work around the clock. but it gets even worse.
12:22 am
finally resupply arrives but it's only four rounds and this type of am open won't hurt the russians much. this illustrates the shortages that ukranians have to deal with. these are not explosive rounds. their smoke rounds. >> these shells will barely explode on impact. the commander says sometimes it's all they can do. >> every shell that is suitable for the paladin we use, he says. it's better than no shells and ukranian military intelligence believe russia produced around two million rounds last year and acquired one million from north korea. massive barrages have laid waste to bakhmut and much of the surrounding area. at the headquarters of the artillery division the frustration is palpable. from drones they can see the
12:23 am
russians gather to continue assault's on ukranian positions but often can't take them out because they need to conserve ammunition the commander tells me. the ratio is about ten to one he had says. ammunition is very important. russia is a country that produces ammo. yes they use old soviet systems but those can still kill. even without the ammo ukranian officials say they're stopping most russian assaults and the crew did manage to fire at russian positions. but they know they'll need a lot more firepower to stop russian advances. cnn near bakhmut, ukraine. >> well, ivan strongly condemning a shooting attack in southeast border region that killed nine pakistani workers. in a telegram message iran minister of foreign affairs

[speak french]. >> with what happened in u.s. there was a strong response here. >> a right hard won in france as it was elsewhere, the procedure only legalized in 1975 after a battle led by the lawmaker and health ministry a woman speaking to a parliament of men.
12:26 am
>> this is an injustice that must be stopped. >> now france is looking to go further, making abortion a constitutional right. >> this will enshrine the freedom of women to choose abortion and be a solid guarantee nothing would limit or abolish this right. >> among those supporting the move the singer, her own experience of abortion at 17 so traumatic she drove a song about it. >> i felt very alone because the woman who took me wasn't very good actually. she was very judgeful like how old are you, why are you here, you're not ashamed? >> what difference do you think it will make to have in the
12:27 am
constitution? >> having the right to do abortion cannot be like a condition of politics, you know. it has to be something we have and no discussion. >> recent polls suggest that over 80 percent of the french population supports safeguarding abortion rights but france too has its anti-abortion movement with both sides talking to the streets over the week. >> i'm really against it and for the doctors practicing it, for the ladies living it for the babies dying. >> but for those in favor of the change it's about ending the argument once and for all. >> if you put something in the constitution, it automaticly changes peoples minds. it could take maybe years, likes

12:33 am
statements against his mother jennifer who prosecutors argue ignored allred flags before her son went on deadly rampage facing four counts of involuntary manslaughter. >> jennifer didn't pull the trigger that day but is responsible for those deaths. . >> the prosecution showed a drawing of a person bleeding a gun and message that says my life is use less, concerned school administrators met with his parents to discuss the drawing. prosecutors say jennifer failed to notify the school her son had access to a gun that they bought him four days earlier. >> despite her knowledge of his growing social isolation, despite the fact it is illegal for a 15-year-old to walk into a gun store and walk out by himself. >> the defense arguing she was not responsible for what her son did. >> the evidence the trial is going to show that you jennifer crumbley did the best she could
12:34 am
as a mother to a child who grew up into a teenager and had no way to know what was going to happen. >> i'm jen sullivan reporting. >> martin and attorneys in los angeles good to have you with us. >> thank you linda. >> here we have the mother of a michigan shooter on trial. how unusual is it to see pants on trial potentially being held accountable for the actions of their child? >> yes, this is a vevery unusua case because typically pararent are nonot held responsiblele foe intentional acts of their children but this case is an exception to that rule and the prosecutors believe that the actions of jennifer crumbley were so egregious that they warranted prosecution, and there is a plethora of evidence that
12:35 am
establishes that there was regional foreseeability that her son ethan would engage in some kinds of violent conduct and jennifer crumbley simply ignored not just flashing red lights but gigantic red flags when she didn't respond to his requests to be taken to a doctor or get medical attention. >> so if you could take us through some of the prosecutions argument some of the evidence they have and how they're going present this case. >> yes there, was a wiwitness tt testifified, one of the first witnesesses in thehe case was forensic expert that went through the text messages and the echltd males and what that witness testified to was a myriad of text messages where ethan is reaching out to his mother and there were oftentimes very long delays where jennifer
12:36 am
wouldn't respond to her son sometimes until the next day and also evidence he was asking to go to a hospital asking to go to a doctor and according to him she laughed at him. he was talking about hearing voices believing that people were in the house flushing the toilet and doing other things that suggested that he was paranoid that he had some kindn of mental health condition mental health crisis and that his mother didn't respond to it. there'e's also some really damaging evidence that while jennifer crumbleley was ignonorr son's s repeated requeuest for medical l attention shshe was s spendingng time e at the stable with herer horseses suggestingn had morere regard anand inteter horses t than whatat was going with these animals than what was going on with her child. so a lot of evidence this mother ignored red flags. >> and ethan crumbley was 15 at the time of the shooting
12:37 am
sentenced to life behind bars without proposal. jennifer his mother is facing four counts of involuntary manslaughter but his father is also going to be on trial. he bought the gun days before this mass shooting and will face trial in march, right? >> absolutely. and the fafact that these two trials a are happepening separa suggest that these defendants are going to point thehe finger at each other. when this case was first prosecuted the mother and father were lying with respect for their defense but they have lawyers that requested separate trials and jennifer is going to say the husband not her bought the gun but there's going to be difficult testimony that jennifer may be held accountable and that testimony is going to be that she along with the husband gifth ethan with this gun for a christmas gift and she
12:38 am
went to a shooting range to shoot the gun n and she posted social media about being at that range and the really disturbing evidence i it gets worse and w e on thehe day when theyey're e a school and t the school l has cd them in ththey didn't tell theh school officials that he had accecess to a gun that the gun s in an unlocked case. they didn't ask that h his backpack be e searched or r tha leave with them toto go to get medical care again despite all his efforts to get some kinds of medical attention so jurors are going to have to weigh all this evidence against jennifer's defense which is that she didn't know that her son was going through this mental health crisis and that she shouldn't be held accountable for what may look like bad parenting. >> so riva should his pants be found guilty could this set a precedent where parents can be held criminally liable for violent crimes committed by children in the future?
12:39 am
>> you know, that's a really good question and appellate court looked at this question as the crumbleys tried to get the indictment against them dismissed and the appellate court said we are not too coconcerned thisis will set a precedent for the future that says all parents in all situations will be held accountable for the intentional actions of their children. they said this case was so egregious and that the evidence so overwhelming that they could finds that this case could proceed to trial without setting a precedent for every subsequent case where a child may engage in some kind of crimiminal behavio so i think in the eyeyes of the appellate case this is a very narrow case baseed on a very specific set of facts. >> riva martin always great to have you on the program. we appreciate you staying up late there in los angeles. thank you. >> thank. >> still to come on "cnn

12:43 am
>> welcome back. museums across the u.s. are changing or closing exhibits with cart facts from native american tribes aimed returning the items to tribes that consider them sacred. report from the largest natural museum how they're adapting to the changes. >> this is an iconic in new york city, the american museum of malhistory is one the most visited museums in the world that draws about 4.5 million people every year. so the fact they're making this
12:44 am
change really sends a major signal to the rest of the field. and here's what's happening, the museum is closing two major galleries including the eastern woodland and if great plains gallery. they contain several native american cultural items, some pretty sizeable big objects as well many of them recognizable to anyone who has visited this museum and they are going to be covering up those display cases. now we actually asked to go inside the museum today to try and get video of these displays that will no longer be viewed by the public but were not allowed because part of the point is to no longer show off or display any of these pieces. why is this happening? well, they're trying to be in compliance with new federal guidelines which are going to require museums and federal
12:45 am
agencies to obtain informed consent from descendants before displaying researching human remains or occur tour items and this is update to the 1990 american protection and repatriation act and this law has been on the books for a while but there's been criticism from indigenous people that their voices were not centered enough in the process so this is an attempt to rectify. listen to the museum president whom we spoke with early this morning describing what is actually behind his effort. >> the intent of the regulations and i think the intent of this process is to make sure the voices of indigenous people have a say both in how their stories are told in museums and
12:46 am
participate actively in the presentation of their narratives in museums. >> it's not just this museum here in new york city but also other major organization around the country, including the field museum in chicago, the museum in denver and the cleveland museum as well. they have all taken measures to either remove or cover up their exhibits as they begin this process. now the question is whether or not some of these exhibits will ever return and the museum president issued a letter to his staff here yesterday, saying, that while some items might return, others might not return after they are returned to their rightful owners. gloria in new york, cnn. >> well there, are also international calls right now for major museums to give back items that were taken from other cultures years ago. u.k. says it will send back gold and silver that were looted from
12:47 am
ghana nearly 150 years ago. two british museums announce the move as agreement to put the objects on display in the west african country. officials say the artifacts were taken from ghana in the 19th century adding that many of the objects from the royal court were looted during war. some of the relics are believed to hold the spirit of past royalty. i spoke with jeffrey robinson in melbourne, australia the author of who owns history. i asked if these objects should be returned permanently not just loaned back. >> the british parliament and government is infected by this colonial, post-colonial, i mean once britain had an empire and this is the last vestige of it
12:48 am
they can cling to so they have this absurd law that museums cannot deaccess or give back any property that they received however it was stolen by criminal activity so that's the problem who wants to get around advertisement museums who want to do the wrong thing will in fact loan it back and perhaps they won't seek in three years time to collect on the loan. clufd
